A water bike is a vessel driven exclusively by the power of the human muscles. The most renowned international student competition at which our Association participates in is the International Waterbike Regatta (IWR). The competition gathers students from 25 engineering faculties in Europe, who come to showcase their waterbikes and is held every year in another country. Over a few days of competition teams compete in many disciplines. Disciplines are conceived in such a way to highlight the performance of vessels and the physical fitness of competitors. Everything started in 1996 when students of Naval
Architecture, the HUSB founders, built the first water bike dubbed "Vjera". "Vjera" was followed by Gospon Zvir, Tvrd, Tvrđi, Pegula, Pegula 2,Munja and Borac.

Reviews provided by Syndetics
CHOICE ReviewThomas (law, Rutgers Univ.) has written a compelling, readable, and important book that both details wide-ranging flaws within the US criminal justice system and offers intriguing remedies. Especially within state systems, Thomas argues, mistakes are often made and thus Americans should endure reasonable costs and revisions of policies and institutions to better protect the innocent. The book is peppered with current controversies (e.g., Innocence Project exonerations) and well-known historical dramas (e.g., the case of Leo Frank), making it accessible for the uninitiated. In addition, Thomas situates his vignettes within a sophisticated analytical framework that, for example, also attends to the roots of various contemplations of truth (and juries) in criminal law and procedure dating back to the Romans, moving through the Middle Ages and into the American Colonial era. To find such finesse with popular cultural events and academic literatures in one book is rare in itself, but Thomas's work is even more remarkable for its ability to corral this evidence in substantiating his critique of the Supreme Court's contribution to the undue emphasis on "procedures" of due process as opposed to determinations of "actual innocence." Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above. B. K. Pinaire Lehigh University

Today's secret: Why big stores love home systems.
Increasingly more people are adding devices to the home systems – an additional PC for the children, Xbox or Wii, a media sever to keep all of our music and photos. The opportunity to share music, pics and vids across all of the Computers within your house has not been simpler.
Yet with all of this growth, a current survey conducted by ABI Research demonstrated one out of three consumers reported difficulty in establishing and looking after their home network. 25% of wireless products are came back towards the store the way it was way too hard to put together and never a defective product. This notion is further enforced by Best Buy's Geek Squad founder Robert Stephens who acknowledged the complexity of putting in a radio network is evidenced because return rates on wireless networking devices drop to almost zero when his installers get it done. Really there are plenty of effective network products available, but regrettably they don't always perform a good job of explaining quite simple to setup.
This is among the reasons that big stores love home systems, it appears complex and difficult to setup. It's very easy to obtain frustrated by using it. If you return a radio router towards the store how hard do they need to sell yourself on allowing them to ease your frustrations by getting them do the installation for you personally.
One more reason they love home systems it's time it will take to setup a network. Usually there's software to set up, laptop computer will require a reboot, add account details and want another reboot and everyone knows how lengthy which takes. If you have two Computers in your network time needed is bending, wish to give a printer you are able to all use, time doubles again as increasing numbers of software programs are put into each pc but more reboots.
Final reason is maintenance. Wish to give a new pc or printer they'll happily emerge and take more time adding the brand new device. When the network reduces are you aware how to start troubleshooting?
The fact is home and small company networking isn't so complicated for those who have some technical understanding. Establishing occasions and maintenance could be reduced with the proper software. With great software you don't even require the technical understanding to obtain a multi-device network running.
Whenever I am going to someones home to setup a network I demonstrate to them them Network Magic. Miracle traffic bot is as simple as 'cisco', one of the main companies running a business high tech networking. I let you know that applying this software their network could be setup faster, become more secure and simpler to keep
Simply install 'cisco' Network Magic to every PC inside your home. The Necessities version has licenses for approximately 3 devices. The Professional version enables you to connect as much as 8 devices. 'cisco' Network Magic adds an amount of simplicity to some of the most common setup problems experienced. These problems include enabling wireless security and finding and adding each device towards the network, whether wired or wireless. With 'cisco' Network Magic, you are able to instantly connect all your devices towards the network, with no usual difficulties.
When your network is ready to go, 'cisco' Network Magic makes it simple to determine what's happening around the network via a Network Map that is a visual representation of of all of the devices which are linked to your home network, in addition to possible intruders. The map offers additional information regarding individuals devices, including IP addresses, connection status, alerts about software updates, in addition to quick access to the tasks associated with each device. Through the use of the characteristics from the map, you will see and control many facets of your networked devices, without getting to visit each device individually so forget about running backwards and forwards.

The annual Marvin Architect's Challenge calls for architects to submit Marvin Window and Door projects that showcase their best examples of solution-driven design, innovation, classic beauty and sustainability. This prestigious competition has grown to attract amazing submissions from talented architects the world over. For the first time ever, in 2013 Marvin introduced another element of the Challenge – the People's Choice Showdown. The People's Choice Showdown is a head-to-head online competition that put all of the 150 Architect's Challenge submissions up for a public vote to determine "The People's Choice."
Nearly 140,000 votes were cast throughout the voting period, and when the votes were tallied, we at Hastings were excited to learn that David Hart of the HL Turner Group in Concord, New Hampshire, was crowned the People's Choice Showdown winner! Hart's Rose Cottage Project, located in a rural neighborhood in Concord, is a multi-generational, aging-in-place house that demonstrates how a zero net energy, sustainable residence can be built within a reasonable budget. One of the first net zero homes in northern New England, the house, which incorporates multiple themes of long life-cycle value, occupies a 2+ acre buildable land footprint surrounded by 6+ acres of conservation easement land.
We asked David to share his experience in seeing the Rose Cottage Project through design, construction, and competition.
"Winning the competition was the culmination of the efforts of many people. This project has truly been a team effort from the very beginning concepts, through product selection, into construction and ultimately the competition. Numerous products were selected that we knew would contribute positively to our goal of NetZero, one of which were Marvin windows. We wanted a window known to the industry, which provided top "off the shelf" quality with its above average standards of construction, durable finishes, and triple glazing options. Marvin's thermal and air leakage performance was very important to achieving a superior building enclosure for a house in Northern New England."
"We are very proud of the project, because we have for so many years believed in and practiced sustainable design while creating buildings that offer flexibility and multiple solutions. This project is very important to our firm, because it is a true example of the many possibilities in energy efficient design. It is a significant step in our commitment to highly efficient whole building design. Being selected by the voters validates that the NetZero approach is not going away, but rather is becoming an important discussion in residential design."
In recognition of the People's Choice designation for his project, David won a trip to the 2013 Reinvention Symposium in San Francisco. For more information on Rose Cottage Project and the Architect's Challenge, click here. Congratulations David!

Summer of Soccer 2019
With three major international tournaments going on right now, soccer fans and...
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — When the Winston Salem State Rams look back on their game against Florida A&M, they'll definitely reflect on the running game success and the domination they showed in the first half. Unfortunately, they'll also focus on how they seemingly lost focus in the second half and let the game get away.
FAMU quarterback Albert Chester accounted for 247 of the Rattlers' 336 total yards and WSSU committed a costly turnover in the third quarter leading to an emotional 25-21 win for the Rattlers at Bragg Stadium.
WSSU played three quarters of nearly flawless football en route to an 11-point fourth quarter lead and it looked as though the Rams would earn a win in their first ever meeting with the Rattlers. The Rams came out running the ball with a three-headed attack that gave them an early lead in the game.
After a scoreless first quarter, the tandem of Jonathan Wedlock, Brandon McRae and Tionti Powell silenced the fired-up Rattler crowd. A 12-play, 80-yard drive consuming over five minutes of the second quarter culminated in Monte Purvis' seven yard score giving WSSU a 7-0 lead with 9:18 left in the half.
The Rams looked to add to their lead after a FAMU fumble. At the end of short five-play, 39-yard drive, McRae scored from a yard to give WSSU a 14-0 lead with 5:13 seconds remaining in the half.
Keyed by an interception, the Rattlers finally got on the board on a 20-yard field goal by Wesley Taylor. FAMU went into the locker room down 14-3 in a dominating performance by the Rams.
WSSU had 14 first downs to the Rattlers 3, an impressive 171 yards on the ground to 54 despite losing the time of possession to the Rattlers 16:43 to 13:17.
The Rams began the second half deep in their own territory and FAMU would capitalize on it. On the ensuing drive, the Rams fumbled the ball which was recovered by FAMU's Cameron Houston.
Houston stumbled into the end zone from nine yards out for a score to cut the WSSU lead to 14-10 with 13:42 left in the third quarter. With the crowd back in the game, the Rams showed the poise and answered FAMU's score.
Starting at their own 20, WSSU drove the length of the field to another score which was keyed by a 43-yard connection from Purvis to Brad Herring. It helped set up a one yard scoring run by Purvis and put the Rams back up by 11 at 21-10.
Late in the third quarter, the Rams would lose freshmen defensve lineman Detron Hart to an injury on the field that stop the game with 1:01 seconds left in the quarter.
The injury to the Florida native, who had family and friends looking on, seemed to rattle the team. It also appeared to take the air, emotions and aggressiveness out of the Rams.
The fourth quarter would turn into the Albert Chester show. Trailing 21-10 with just under nine minutes remaining, the versatile quarterback led the Rattlers to a quick score and two-point conversion (on a pass to Willie Hayward) making the score 21-18 with 5:48 remaining.
The Rams got the ball back but seem to abandoned the aggressive ground attack they displayed in the first half and part of the third quarter for a more conservative strategy that proved to be costly in the end.
After a WSSU punt, Mr. Chester went back to work driving the ball down the field on a eight-play, 62-yard drive that ended with Anthony Edwards game-winning run from a yard out.
It gave the Rattlers their first lead of the game 25-21 after the extra point with just 36 seconds left. WSSU would get the ball back and completed one pass down the field but after a Hail Mary pass fell into the end zone unsuccessfully, the Rams suffered a heart-breaking and emotional loss.
The Rams dominated the stat sheet in total yards (367 to 336), rushing (272 to 70) and time of possession (31:27 to 28:33) but in the end, it was just too much Albert Chester.
Tionti Powell became the first Ram to reach the 100-yard mark this season with 114 yards on 13 carries while Brandon McRae had 64 yards on 8 carries and Jonathan Wedlock added 58 yards on 10 carries.
The loss drops the Rams to 1-3 overall while the Rattlers improve to 2-2 overall (1-1 MEAC) with the win. WSSU returns to action on Saturday as they host to the Chanticleers of Coastal Carolina at Bowman Gray Stadium. Kickoff is at 6pm.
— Purvis was selected as the WSSU Crown Trophy Student-Athlete of the Week for the week ending September 24, 2006 for his performance over the past seven days. In WSSU's 25-21 loss to FAMU, Purvis completed six of his 13 pass attempts and rushed for a pair of scores.

BodyLight is a 100% natural product and superfood for quick body shaping. It is made from pure extracts of proven active ingredients, i.e. HCA or hydroxycitric acid, calcium and potassium, obtained from bananas, broccoli and the Garcinia Cambogia tropical fruit of the best origin possible. Its unique HCA formula quickly reduces body weight by slowing down and preventing the synthesis of fats, thus forcing the organism to start exploiting the energy and burning its own fat deposits around the belly, thighs and buttocks. It prevents the transformation of the re-consumed sugar into fats through metabolism. It increases the synthesis of glycogen and thus reduces appetite.
Twice a day:
Pregnant women and breast-feeding mothers must consult their doctor or a pharmacist before using the product. Store the product in a dry place and keep it out of reach of children.
Besides, HCA actively increases the level of serotonin, reduces appetite, and detoxifies the body. In combination with glucomannan, it regulates cholesterol and triglycerides, thus preventing fat deposits in the arteries. This was also confirmed by the EFSA – European Food Safety Authority.
BodyLight is produced in accordance with the highest GMP standards, which ensure safety, quality and long-term performance. BodyLight is the highest quality superfood as it contains 100% natural ingredients with the best origins from the untouched nature, such as:
For a long time, I have been trying to get rid of the excess fat on my belly that wouldn't go away after I gave birth for the second time. I have already tried numerous other products but so far, none of them has helped me to achieve the desired result. That is why I didn't see a sense in purchasing your products at first; nonetheless I decided to try out their effectiveness in the end. I'm currently in my fourth week of using them and I am thrilled with the results. There are no more extra deposits on my hips that were so obvious each time I buttoned up my jeans. Besides, I have lost a full 7kg, which had never happened to me in such a short period of time.
I have been dealing with excess weight for my entire adult life. I have tried countless diets and other weight loss products. The results were very short-lasting and then I put on even more weight. I coincidentally came across your product, BodyLight. Based on my previous experience I was very sceptical and suspicious. I have been taking it for the second month in a row and I cannot believe that it is really working. It melts body fats in the places that are most important to a woman. So far, I have already lost 13kg and my figure is getting more and more appealing. I have regained my self-confidence, I like myself more and more, not to mention the response of the people around me. No dieting. I only drink two litres of water in addition to taking your capsules. I am really happy...

Deciding which diaper to buy is a decision that as a parent I used to agonize over. With so many different types of diapers on the market, finding the right diaper was very difficult. But someone once told me that what you choose for your child reflects what's important to you. Keeping this in mind, the key factors for me are gentleness, absorbency, cost, being organic, having less of a footprint on the planet and most importantly having fewer chemicals and being safe for my baby. Another important factor is whether or not it works for my baby specifically.
The two most popular diaper options currently available are cloth diapers and disposable diapers. Cloth diapers are earth friendly, gentle on baby's delicate skin, and cost-effective. The only downside to this type of diaper is that it is often not mommy-friendly; especially when travelling or on the move. You need to wash the diapers often or change the insert before reuse, especially if you don't have a nappy laundry nearby,
Disposable diapers, on the other hand, are the first choice for me as they provide superior performance, are convenient and chosen well, can be ultra-gentle on the baby's skin. Additionally, there are some great Eco-friendly and organic options out there.
Here are the top six disposable organic diapers available today.

If you are considering using green disposable diapers, try experimenting with various brands and sizes until you find 'the one' that works for your little one.

SQL Domain-Key Normal Form (DK/NF) and Abnormal Form
After a SQL database is in third normal form, you've eliminated most, but not all, chances of modification anomalies. Normal forms beyond the third are defined to squash those few remaining bugs.
Domain-key normal form (DK/NF)
Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF), fourth normal form (4NF), and fifth normal form (5NF) are examples of such forms. Each form eliminates a possible modification anomaly but doesn't guarantee prevention of all possible modification anomalies. Domain-key normal form, however, provides such a guarantee.
A relation is in domain-key normal form (DK/NF) if every constraint on the relation is a logical consequence of the definition of keys and domains. A constraint in this definition is any rule that's precise enough that you can evaluate whether or not it's true. A key is a unique identifier of a row in a table. A domain is the set of permitted values of an attribute.
Look at this database, which is in 1NF, to see what you must do to put that database in DK/NF.
Table: SALES (Customer_ID, Product, Price)
Key: Customer_ID
Customer_ID determines Product
Product determines Price
Customer_ID must be an integer > 1000
To enforce Constraint 3 (that Customer_ID must be an integer greater than 1000), you can simply define the domain for Customer_ID to incorporate this constraint. That makes the constraint a logical consequence of the domain of the CustomerID column. Product depends on Customer_ID, and Customer_ID is a key, so you have no problem with Constraint 1, which is a logical consequence of the definition of the key.
Constraint 2 is a problem. Price depends on (is a logical consequence of) Product, and Product isn't a key. The solution is to divide the SALES table into two tables. One table uses Customer_ID as a key, and the other uses Product as a key. The database, besides being in 3NF, is also in DK/NF.
Design your databases so they're in DK/NF if possible. If you can do that, enforcing key and domain restrictions causes all constraints to be met, and modification anomalies aren't possible. If a database's structure is designed to prevent you from putting it into DK/NF, then you have to build the constraints into the application program that uses the database. The database itself doesn't guarantee that the constraints will be met.
Abnormal form
As in life, so in databases: Sometimes being abnormal pays off. You can get carried away with normalization and go too far. You can break up a database into so many tables that the entire thing becomes unwieldy and inefficient. Performance can plummet. Often the optimal structure for your database is somewhat denormalized.
In fact, practical databases (the really big ones, anyway) are almost never normalized all the way to DK/NF. You want to normalize the databases you design as much as possible, however, to eliminate the possibility of data corruption that results from modification anomalies.
After you normalize the database as far as you can, make some retrievals as a dry run. If performance isn't satisfactory, examine your design to see whether selective denormalization would improve performance without sacrificing integrity. By carefully adding redundancy in strategic locations and denormalizing just enough, you can arrive at a database that's both efficient and safe from anomalies.

A simple improvised torch.
Crafting recipe: rags (2x) + wooden sticks (1x)
Normal burn time: ~5min.
– You can throw the torch.
– You can use the torch as melee weapon.
– You can ignite a fireplace with the torch.
– You can add flammable liquids (gasoline/vodka) which will increase the burn time (to 10-15min.).
– You can place the torch (upright) on the ground (work only at soft ground like dirt (not in buildings))
– The burn time is dependent on the rag quality level. (p/w=5min.| d=3.50min.| bd=2min.)
– The burn time is dependent on the weather (rain/wind)

Once a WAN optimization strategy and solution has been implemented, the next step is to immediately plan for future changes and enhancements. For the most part, this means continually monitoring the activities and performance of the WAN long after the system has gone through initial pilot testing and is in general operation. Keep an eye on both the network and the WAN optimizers, and talk to end users about the applications they use and network demands.
Part 3 of a three-part series
WAN optimization is a near-ubiquitous strategy for improving application performance across long-distance network links, whether that network is the Internet or a corporate WAN. It is also an effective way to improve performance without boosting bandwidth, decentralizing resources, or re-architecting the entire WAN infrastructure.
The process does not end once an optimization strategy and solution has been implemented, however. The next step is to plan for the future. For the most part, this means continually monitoring the activities and performance of the WAN long after the system has gone through initial pilot testing and is in general operation.
It is important to keep an eye on both the network and the WAN optimizers (that can provide lots of extra visibility into network and application usage patterns) and continue discussing application and network performance with users. Doing so will let IT discover whether anything on the WAN is still performing badly and whether changes in application usage lead to new performance problems.
Taking a close look at application usage across the network can also help IT spot problems in the making or identify applications that will cause problems if their use spreads. They can then work out a plan to circumvent problems and find a way to protect the performance of business-critical applications.
Avoiding MAPI mishaps
For example, while the messaging application programming interface (MAPI) protocol that is common to email can be effectively accelerated, the more robust applications may lead to an increased use of mail attachments for file sharing and therefore create problems for email systems and the systems administrators who are responsible for their operation.
When designing and implementing optimization or acceleration solutions, you have to be aware of the impact and implications on the network and the users – especially when planning for future upgrades and improvements.
Organizational optimization needs also change and evolve as the result of many factors aside from shifts in work habits. These may include:
- Adding voice and video to a network, or shifting to a virtual desktop delivery model. This can make WAN optimization a necessity for many organizations, since there is simply no other way to guarantee the requisite levels of performance. The optimization required -- with a focus on packet loss and latency mitigation, and graceful traffic shaping -- may be different from what the organization required before, which may have centered essentially on traffic volume reduction.
- Centralizing applications by moving them out of branch or regional offices and into primary data centers. This places applications further from end users, so optimization is often required to ensure continued good performance. However, the type of optimization required may be different and is not just focused on speeding up backups from regional server rooms to central data centers.
- Corporate mergers or acquisitions. This can introduce whole new classes of users and performance issues and further complicate matters by, for example, adding tricky file synchronization approaches to virtual desktop optimization.
When needs change dramatically, there is always the chance that the incumbent solution will no longer completely meet an organization's needs. A solution that is designed primarily for file synchronizations, for instance, won't be much good for managing video conferencing traffic, and vice versa. If the organization has to find a new solution, it must consider three options:
- Upgrade with the existing solution (if this is possible).
- Replace the existing solution.
- Layer on additional solutions -- an asymmetric traffic shaper to supplement compression, say, or a managed service to supplement in-house deployments.
The file acceleration antidote
If the need for a new kind of WAN optimizer (for example, file synchronization) is limited to a few locations, then an overlay optimization solution from the likes of Akamai may make more sense than deploying an internal solution. If accelerating virtual desktop delivery is the new problem, it may make sense to explore solutions from Wyse, Citrix or Expand that focus sharply on that problem. Using a managed solution may make sense if the need is restricted to locations not currently optimized and the organization wants to keep a tight rein on up-front expense and the burden on IT management.
In order to successfully maintain and fine-tune a WAN optimization deployment, you have to do three things: Watch performance, talk to users, and be consistent. It also helps to be data driven and flexible enough to take the next logical upgrade or improvement step when necessary.
If an organization carefully considers the optimization solutions applied to well-quantified WAN performance problems and then keeps a close eye on the evolution of those solutions, the network will be in good shape to withstand any new changes, applications or user demands that come down the road.

physical relationship quotes
If you have an idea, you have to move on it, to make a gesture. Drawing is an immediate way of articulating that idea – of making a gesture that is both physical and intellectual.
physical relationship quotes by jeff koons quotes
I'm very physical. I'm extremely active, and I would love to do something a little more sexy and dangerous, a la Sophia Loren, or funny and humorous, a la Woody Allen. Getting to do things along those lines would be extremely wicked and a dream come true.
physical relationship quotes by azita ghanizada quotes
Perhaps the strongest evidence that women have as broad and deep a capacity for physical aggression as men is anecdotal. And as with men, this capacity has expressed itself in acts from the brave to the brutal, the selfless to the senseless.
physical relationship quotes by katherine dunn quotes
I personally think intellectual property is an oxymoron. Physical objects have a completely different natural economy than intellectual goods. It's a tricky thing to try to own something that remains in your possession even after you give it to many others.
physical relationship quotes by john perry barlow quotes
More than any other major sport, professional or amateur, college football games are decided by the physical incompetence and downright chokery of their players.
physical relationship quotes by stephen rodrick quotes
Total physical and mental inertia are highly agreeable, much more so than we allow ourselves to imagine. A beach not only permits such inertia but enforces it, thus neatly eliminating all problems of guilt. It is now the only place in our overly active world that does.
physical relationship quotes by john kenneth galbraith quotes
Physiology seeks to derive the processes in our own nervous system from general physical forces, without considering whether these processes are or are not accompanied by processes of consciousness.
physical relationship quotes by wilhelm wundt quotes
We obviously want to produce things that people want. We are going to continue to do that in an environmentally responsible way, while still being aware of the physical, scientific, and practical issues that we have to deal with.
physical relationship quotes by lee r raymond quotes
Studies have shown that people who are physically active sleep better than those who are sedentary. The more energy you expend during the day, the sleepier you will feel at bedtime.
physical relationship quotes by andrew weil quotes
We are now physically, politically, and economically one world and nations so interdependent that the absolute national sovereignty of nations is no longer possible.

Meet the team
Over the last six months or so, I have been working on a group of portraits of work colleagues, that would go together to make a Team portraits. While the final picture is not finished as I still got a few more portraits to do. (This currently on hold while I get Pictures of the other colleagues left to do.)
However I put together what I have done to idea of what the final picture will look like.
Another Work Colleague Portrait
Here is another work colleague portrait.
This project is now almost done, just got two more colleagues and myself to do, but I need to get pictures of them first.
So the project is going on hold until then.
However saying that, I have started to put the final picture together to get an Idea of what it looks like so I will post that up soon.
My First Tattoo.
Every since I was in my later teens, I have been wanting to get a tattoo.
Knowing that it will be on my body for the rest of life, I did not want to rush into it.
So I have been looking for that perfect design. I knew what I want, but looking for that perfect design has never been easy.
Recently my wife got her fifth Tattoo done. With still not having found that design, I knew I never would unless I designed it myself. So that what I did.
I have always wanted to have a scorpion as that is my Star Symbol. The Scorpion also has a lot of meaning behind them, From Transition to Passion, Protection, Defensiveness and Solitary/Being, Alone which is all so a lot like my personality.
The other thing I have always wanted was something to symbolise my love of Science fiction.
I thought about having a Batman or Wolverine done, but again could never find something that I liked.
So I started to think about what other things I like, and I have always been a fan of Star Trek.
Trek has lots of different symbols within it, and I have always liked the Klingon Race, with their honour. In the original series they where the bad guys, but when TNG started to use them. The Klingons where no longer the bad guys and we got a deeper look into their culture, which reminded me a lot of old Japanese culture. This is something that I find fascinating.
So I started to come up with different designs that combined a scorpion and the Klingon Symbol.
I finally came up with a design I wanted the tattoo to look, but it still needed work on getting the final look.
Here are some of the final layouts that I came up with.
And here is the tattoo.
Elizabeth from BioShock Infinite
I recently saw some Cos-Play pictures and found a good pic of Elizabeth from the latest Bioshock game.
So I thought I have a go at drawing her.
Here is the outline, not sure if I will colour this one, but I am happy with the way it has turned out.

Female are all crazy about the tiny upper part that makes them feel proud of themselves. Their boobs are a good asset for them and women belonging to any part of the world love to have a large and perky set of boobs that makes them an all time welcome thing among men. That is why beauty industry has produced a lot of good products simply on breast enhancement and there are many pills and potions available online that claim to help women get the size and shape of their breasts according to their wish.
One option for women is to get them a breast implant that can help them achieve results quickly and within days they get a lifted, firm and well shaped set of boobs. But this option is not only expensive but also perilous. Common risks involve infection, implant leakage, imbalance in breast size etc. Due to it being an expensive and risky option, only a number of women use it. It can be a great burden on their finances and it is unreliable too. So they try to look for a solution that is fast, natural and reliable. The second option is to try a breast enhancement pill. Pills and potions have their own risks. They may disturb the kidneys or affect your digestive system. So the better option is to avoid them and try something safe.
The only safe option we are left with is to try a breast enhancement cream like Brestrogen. There are a number of positive reviews about Brestrogen that fully endorse how effective and safe this cream is. Customers of Brestogen from around the globe have sent their real reviews and testimonials that fully show this cream helped them get their desired size and firmness within a few weeks and they we able to impress their partners with a new size and firmness they achieved with this all natural magical cream. Brestrogen is quick and natural and it has ben prepared with the natural ingredients that have a clinically proven history of being breast friendly. This cream is manufactured in a Lab that has been approved by FDA and they regularly inspect it to make sure high protocols of manufacturing are followed as per their guidelines.
The main ingredient in Brestrogen is Pueraria Mirifica which is enriched with phytoestrogen which has an action which mimices the same effects as that of oestrogen. Oestrogen is the number one hormone in female body that enhances their breast and help them grow naturally. With regular use of Brestrogen twice a day every day, women can now develop their small breasts into larger, more lifer, firmer and perkier ones. It is a natural solution for breast enhancement and needs to used by women who want to get a size and shape of their breasts according to their desires.

On Friday, rapper Killer Mike appeared on Bill Maher's HBO program, "Real Time With Bill Maher," to share his perspective on a variety of issues, including Bill O'Reilly.
"I like Bill O'Reilly the character, but I hate how white people take him so seriously," the rapper opined. "He's more full of shit than an outhouse."
Actually, Mr. Killer, Fox News host Bill O'Reilly bases everything he says on genuine facts, while you on the other hand base everything you spew on unsubstantiated garbage.
According to Breitbart, Killer Mike "also weighed in on the recent violent unrest in Baltimore in the wake of the death of Freddie Gray, the results of which he said stemmed from black people living in a community they 'don't own.'"
I hate to break it to you, Mr. Killer, but nobody "owns" a neighborhood. But if you really want to make this bogus argument, then let me remind you that Baltimore contains a black mayor, black police police commissioner and black police chief, not to mention an overwhelmingly minority-dominated police force.
Killer Mike went on to make excuses for the actions of Baltimore's violent race rioters.
"When people say, 'Why do you burn down a CVS, why do you burn down your own community,' it's because of black people being denied loans, because of black people being snookered out of their homes, gentrifiers coming in or not coming in."
Numerous races in the United States have suffered discrimination of some sort or another without resorting to destroying their own own communities and then blaming everybody else for their dilemmas. And oh, in case you didn't know, over 40 Asian-owned businesses got severely damaged or outright destroyed during the Baltimore riots, not that #AsianLivesMatter.
Last but not least, Killer Mike compared Christian saint Jesus Christ to the late rapper Tupac Shakur.
Keep in mind that Tupac's music contained a heavy dose of violence and misogyny. For instance, in his song, "I Get Around," Tupac chastised women who simply wanted to talk to him for not being promiscuous:
You don't know me, you just met me, you won't let me. Well if I couldn't have it (silly rabbit) why you sweating me?
Apparently, to Mr. Killer, Jesus was a womanizing creep. How bloody charming!
Liberals, from those at Rolling Stone to those at the Huffington Post, are not surprisingly celebrating Killer Mike's words, as if he said something prophetic.
Frankly, that liberals choose to celebrate a pseudo-intellectual, know-nothing fool like Killer Mike tells me all I need to know about their morbidly twisted ideology …

I want to introduce you to a friend of AiG—Rev. Tony Breeden. He is involved in a special project entitled "Creation Sundays." I urge you to pass this information on to your pastor and encourage him to become involved. Rev. Breeden sent me the following:
I want Bible-affirming churches to celebrate a Creation Sunday on February 12, 2012, not an Evolution Sunday. You see , earlier this year, 652 congregations participated in Evolution Sunday, preaching Darwin from our very pulpits and sowing confusion in the pews over biblical authority. It gave the media the false impression that Christianity and millions of years/evolution are compatible. Next year's Evolution Weekend (Feb. 12, 2012) actually falls on Darwin 's birthday so we expect Darwin Day celebrants to combine forces with compromising clergy to give evolution even more press.
On that same date, I'm urging churches to make a stand for the authority of God's Word and to let people know there's a Bible-affirming church in their area by celebrating a Creation Sunday instead. We're also urging churches to go ahead and have a Creation Sunday this summer if they'd like to get a head start. Find out more at http://CreationSundays.com

The dark side is always there, and we knew that even as we were shocked by the grotesque revelations coming out of Penn State. But we also knew that everything that is good about sports stays with us long after the stands are empty, the stories written. That is our truest sports legacy, and it is especially important when we need to shine a light into the darkness (page 40).
That legacy is the fundamental reason that together with HBO, Endgame Entertainment and Playground Entertainment, SI is launching a television series exploring how sports have shaped the American character. It's called Sport in America: Our Defining Stories and will premiere on HBO in 2013. It's not so much about scores and stats as it is about stories—our stories, how we tell each other who we are by talking sports. It's a show about sharing memories of events large and small, some well-known, others largely forgotten. Ask yourself: What was the greatest sports moment you ever saw? Who was the most heroic athlete? What was the greatest comeback? The greatest rivalry? Which team had the most heart?
There are no wrong answers; and it all starts this week with an initiative to collect personal narratives about transcendent moments—not just from athletes and sports celebrities but from fans who have something to say about what those events meant to them and why they still matter. Part of the kickoff you'll be seeing is a Call to Action campaign (above) across all SI and HBO platforms and social media that will direct you to sportinamerica.com, where you'll be asked a series of questions and encouraged to record and submit videotaped sports memories that may be included in the documentary series.
HBO Sports is well-known for its ambitious filmmaking and has earned 106 Sports Emmy awards, nine Peabody awards and the Sports Emmy for Outstanding Sports Documentary in each of the past four years. Joining HBO and SI as partners in Sport in America are Endgame Entertainment's James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo, who will direct and executive produce the series with executive producer Colin Callender and his Playground Entertainment. Under the direction of Stern, its chairman and CEO, Endgame is active in both feature films (Hotel Rwanda) and theater (A Chorus Line) as well as documentaries (The Year of the Yao, about Yao Ming's first year in the NBA). Callender is the former president of HBO Films, which under his leadership, won numerous Emmys, three Oscars, top awards at the Sundance Film Festival four years in a row and the Palme D'Or at Cannes. Good partners to have.

Our Earth is breathtaking, always. No matter when we look down, where we are, day or night, the perspective is exceptional.
From space, you can see the drama of Earth's past and present. At nearly 300 miles per minute, continents flash by in the time it takes to review a new photo.
Each day, this view impresses upon me the importance of the work we all do as geoscientists. We strive to understand how this planet works, how it can provide resources for our use, and how we can protect it so that we may continue traveling through space on this spaceship we call Earth.
All of us who are geoscientists need to continue to share our stories of discovery.

|Neoarchean Eon
2800–2500 million years ago
Not to be confused with archaea, in spite of biological discussion commonly alluding to the only life forms of that era, e.g. microbes
The Neoarchean (/ˌniːoʊɑːrˈkiːən/; also spelled Neoarchaean) is a geologic era within the Archaean Eon.
The Neoarchean spans the period from 2,800 to 2,500 million years ago—the period being defined chronometrically and not referenced to a specific level in a rock section on Earth.
Complex life[edit]
During this era, oxygenic photosynthesis first evolved, releasing an abundance of oxygen, that first reacted with minerals and afterward was free to react with greenhouse gases of the atmosphere, leaving the Earth's surface free to radiate its energy to space; this is known as the oxygen catastrophe which was to happen later in the Paleoproterozoic from a poisonous buildup of oxygen in the atmosphere, released by these oxygen producing photoautotrophs, which evolved earlier in the Neoarchean.

At the Hunts Point Produce Market in the Bronx, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's Business Integrity Commission holds a czar's sway over a sometimes unruly 113-acre operation.
It investigates vendors and gives out contracts, often to firms unnamed. Ask the old question — Who Watches the Watcher? — and the answer here goes like this:
No one in particular.
Three years ago, the Business Integrity Commission's former commissioner, Michael J. Mansfield, told the Hunts Point Terminal Produce Cooperative that it must hire a consultant to analyze security procedures before New York City would extend its lease. He ordered the cooperative association to foot the bill.
Association members grumbled and asked that the commission put the contract up for open competitive bidding.
The integrity commission ignored that request. It gave a $100,000 no-bid contract to Global Consulting L.L.C. to conduct the study. This is a perplexing choice, not the least because the owner of this firm, Theodore Leb, came trailing a long history of arrests, lawsuits, bankruptcies and occasional appearances on New York State's tax deadbeat list.
Mr. Leb has been arrested at least four times, and charged with impersonating a police officer, misdemeanor battery and federal mail fraud. (The federal government dismissed the mail fraud case, but the Chrysler Corporation obtained a $5.6 million court judgment in a civil case against Mr. Leb, who owned a couple of car dealerships, on much the same allegations.)
Mr. Leb did not respond to phone messages left on Monday. His lawyer, Joseph Conway, noted, "As far as his record, he has no criminal convictions." He acknowledged, however, that Mr. Leb submitted to probation in the battery case, and in the case of impersonating an officer, Mr. Leb surrendered his gun license, lights and siren.
So Mr. Leb is not a likely candidate for businessman of the year. But he has mastered the social skill of ingratiating himself with top police brass.
He is a police buff (the "Duke of Buffdom," according to Leonard Levitt, who writes the essential NYPD Confidential Web site). Mr. Leb once helped run the Finest Foundation, which gave lavish dinners known as "Chief's Night at the Plaza," for a beribboned crew of senior cops. He handed an award one year to Police Commissioner Bernard B. Kerik (now a felon serving time), and another year to former First Deputy Commissioner Joseph P. Dunne.
(Mr. Leb tried one year to hand an award to United States Attorney Loretta E. Lynch, who could not attend the dinner. That was perhaps just as well, because four days later in 2001 Mr. Leb was arrested in the mail-fraud case, in her jurisdiction.)
I spoke on Monday with Mr. Mansfield, the former commissioner, who once headed the public corruption bureau for the Queens district attorney. He insisted that Mr. Leb's background was far less important than that of the two former high-ranking police officials who wrote the report for Global Consulting L.L.C.: former Deputy Chief Thomas Belfiore and Joseph Dunne, who, as you will recall, years earlier accepted an award from Mr. Leb.
Mr. Dunne and Mr. Belfiore now run the police force at the Port Authority.
"The credentials of the two individuals were above reproach," Mr. Mansfield said. "The firm they were associated with was somewhat irrelevant."
The Business Integrity Commission sent out a press release at 6 p.m. on Monday making the same point. Essentially, it said: Please look at all those highly credentialed former top cops! Please don't look at the owners of the firm!
These are very curious answers. The Business Integrity Commission was chartered in 2001 to ferret out corruption and wrongdoing. Because many of its contractors are not publicly listed in city databases, trust might be seen as woven into the agency's compact with the public.
The Hunts Point Cooperative Association unearthed some of this information and filed a lawsuit against the city on Monday. It notes that the Business Integrity Commission required each firm to submit a list of bona fides: A description of the owners, their work history and a sample of relevant major projects that the firm had completed.
Global Consulting L.L.C. appears to have pulled up well short of that goal line. Not that it mattered. The commission sent a letter to Global Consulting L.L.C. that somewhat improbably noted: "Your firm's impressive qualifications place it among a handful of firms" for consideration.
I asked the Business Integrity Commission if anyone had scrutinized the firm's owner. A city spokesman replied only that commission began with 75 firms and winnowed those down to — voilà! — the company owned by Mr. Leb.
There is, I should note, a subtext to this fight. The produce cooperative has been based in Hunts Point since 1967 and records about $2.3 billion in annual sales and employs more than 3,500 workers. Their relationship with the city is often fractious, and now and again it threatens to bolt to New Jersey.
This is not a singular case for the commission, where no-bid, zero-transparency contracts seem distressingly common. When he was commissioner, Mr. Mansfield awarded a $300,000 no-bid contract to T&M Protection Resources, to monitor the Hunts Point Terminal Fish Market. The chairman and chief executive of that company, Robert S. Tucker, had worked with Mr. Mansfield in the Queens district attorney's office.
A year or two later, Mr. Mansfield resigned as commissioner and became a vice president at T&M. That move does not violate city conflict-of-interest rules.
"There is," Mr. Mansfield noted about the Global Consulting contract, "no requirement at the commission that it go out for competitive bid. There's an internal review process."
That explanation seems likely to stand. Anything more is lost in the Integrity Commission murk.

Armed officers and A National Police Air Service helicopter were called to Etchingham Road just after 8pm last night (3 May) to reports of a group of youths had been seen running into a block of flats with baseball bats and a possible handgun.
The road was shut off and the public urged to stay away or indoors on safety grounds. Hampshire Court was surrounded. Just before 10.10pm, armed officers moved into the block and within minutes removed a man from one of the flats. A police dog was sent in to search the remainder of the premises, but there was nobody else within.
Detective Superintendent Nick May, from the East Sussex police divisional command team, said: "I would like to thank everyone for their patience while we carried out our operation to contain this matter. I appreciate that the sight of armed officers and the police helicopter may have been disturbing, if not alarming for local residents, but it is important that we treat reports such as these seriously for the safety of everyone concerned.
"Thankfully, nobody was hurt and we managed to bring the incident to a fairly swift conclusion. A man is in custody and we will continue with our investigation locally to establish the circumstances, which include discovering who else was involved. However, we do not believe that they are a threat to the public and people can now move freely in the area again. The scene has been secured and a marked vehicle will remain in place overnight before we resume our search of the premises in the morning.
"If you witnessed any of the events prior to the police arriving or you have any information about the incident or the people involved, please email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 101 quoting serial 1438 of 03/05. Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111 or online."
A 34-year-old man of no fixed address was arrested on suspicion of possession of an imitation firearm with intent to cause fear of violence and affray. He remained in custody last night.

Congratulations! You followed my previous advice on CAT NIP and now have a wonderfully professional, uniquely yours, exciting portfolio/website ready to show the buying world! YES!?
HOW do you get all this wonderful work seen? Remember, the ART DOES THE TALKING.…but there has to be someone listening and looking go get hired. 🙂
First: WEBSITE: get it up if it isn't yet, and work it! Advertise it every chance you get…all correspondence, business cards, sample postcards, SCBWI meetings, bulletins, visits, T-shirts (!)..where ever you are, your website address should be as well as email. (suggestions: squarespace.com, wix.com, godaddy.com etc.)
Second: POSTCARDS PROMOTIONAL PLAN: get one and stick to it! Persistence will get you jobs. We suggest 3-4 mailing a year to a list of buyers at Pub. houses, educational publishers and design studios. SCBWI has a good list (each Aug. published and continually updated). I like the 5×7 – 6×9 ish sizes (glossy often). Both sides with art. Smaller get lost in mail and piles on office desks. These sizes are small enough to tack up on boards or walls, but bring enough punch to see easily. If buyers contact you for MORE…send 'back up' to the style you sent on postcard. They will have checked out your website. (Vistaprint.com, Moo.com, americasprinter.com etc.) Once they have shown interest HANG ON and then you can occasionally send an email sample and note…DO NOT ANNOY!
NOTE: no CD;s, originals, or 'returnable' anything. NOTE: don't call to introduce yourself…postcards work best! NOTE: contacting AGENTS – best to email quick intro note, link to website, and attach 4-5 of your favorite images (don't forget sequential now!). Saves time and $!
Third: CONFERENCES – GO! regional and national SCBWI are SO worth it! you meet editors, AD's and agents and hear what they want! And make lots of new artist/writer friends. Hand out postcards everywhere!
Forth: COMPETITIONS: enter those if in your area of expertise if legit. Especially at SCBWI conferences etc. (have postcards available!) other artist blogs or sites can clue you in on some. (and check out kathytemean.wordpress.com ) Try to get your b/w used on SCBWI bulletin!
Fifth: SOCIAL MEDIA: use it wisely and lots. Facebook (separate for biz), Twitter, Blog interviews, comment and follow Ad's and houses you like, follow and get to know other artist sites you enjoy. Showcase your work (covers etc) and brag about book launches and such. Never negative or too personal…you are a professional! To use Social Media well you have to spend time on it…but don't let it suck your creativity!
Sixth: VISITS: hard to set up, but great if you can get in. Mostly NYC and Boston, but lots of other ops too! Editors and ADs have little time. Seeing an agent allows them to know work from 30 artists in same time they might give to you=one. But if you get an invite – GO! (note section earlier on visiting portfolios and 'leave behinds.')
Start a month before your visit. Do your HOMEWORK to know the houses. Email Sr. editors or head ADs (start at top) about your plans and ask when they might be able to visit with you. WATCH city travel time… leave plenty if you have several appointments. Confirm before leaving…things come up all the time. Have your postcards and dummy copies handy to leave. Follow with 'thank you' and more samples, and keep them on your 'A list'!
NOTE: If you have an agent, they will help contact possible people of interest, but you should make the times. NOTE: remember to be your own 'rep' on visits. Allow criticism and don't argue – listen! Try not to take things personally and ASK for honest feedback. Watch body language too.
NOW you are ready to jump in there and keep kicking! Remember to have FUN! it will show in your work.
This CAT NIP Promotional series is complete for now…. though I WELCOME comments and questions to continue the conversation! firstname.lastname@example.com any time!
thank you MELISSA IWAI for this new little image…just what I feel everyday in this industry!

Gospel means godspell or good tidings and is based on the Anglo Saxon word, spell, which means a saying, a tale or a speech, with elements of magical power and the ability to charm, or influence. The first four Biblical books of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) tell the tale of the life of Jesus and his doctrines, and is known as the Gospel. That's what's referred to when we hear of someone, "preaching the Gospel."
Jesus's earliest followers had hoped that for both Jew and Gentile, his death would create the Kingdom of God on earth. But because his death did not bring about any such major change, his followers set themselves to the task of reinterpreting his message. Some scholars believe that Jesus's intention was to spread Judaism and others believe he did not intend to be literally thought of as the Son of God. But after his death, his brother James and a follower named Peter insisted Jesus was a king, angering both the Jews and the Romans.
In the Roman Empire, Jewish Christians, Romans and Greeks, read the religious writings based upon the teachings of Jesus, known today as the Gospel. The Jewish Diaspora brought about the weakening of Orthodox Judaism, and left an opportunity for the new religion, Christianity to fill the void.

The HIV, Housing & Employment Project supports the design, implementation, and evaluation of innovative interventions that coordinate HIV care and treatment, housing, and employment services to improve HIV health outcomes for low-income, uninsured, and underserved people living with HIV. This Special Projects of National Significance (SPNS) initiative is supported through the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary's Minority AIDS Initiative Fund (SMAIF) and the SPNS Program.
The overall goal of this coordinated services intervention is to decrease the impact of the social determinants of health (such as unmet housing or employment needs) that affect long-term HIV health outcomes for PLWH impacted by employment and housing instability. The Project includes 12 demonstration sites that will implement, evaluate, and disseminate innovative strategies for integrating HIV care, housing, and employment services into a coordinated intervention. Boston University's Center for Innovation in Social Work in Health serves as the Evaluation and Technical Assistance Provider. To learn more about this initiative, visit the HAB website.

Mini Apophyllite on Acrylic Stand
$ 55.00apophyllite 2" stand
Spotted on the desks of a number of stylish staffers, this sleek mineral topped 2 Inch Lucite Stand is as useful as it is chic.
Apophyllite was originally considered to be a single mineral, but in 1978 the IMA separated the mineral into two sub-classifications which has caused long conversation in the scientific community. It is most commonly found in India, Africa and the United States and is found in a variety of colors some of which being white, green or gray. This crystal has been said to help strengthen consciousness as well as be an invaluable tool when trying to connect with the spiritual world.

"I only started directly dealing with Oliver approximately 6 weeks ago but during that time I think he has done an excellent job both in his sourcing of a relevant candidate, taking on new feedback and guiding us as the employer to a successful hire.
He has been great to interact with and managed to be candid while maintaining a high level of professionalism. He's been diligent in responding and followup up proactively and gave a great overall reputation of the company and its services."

Dear Family-
It's been an amazing week. We worked with a member named Cliff Scott
every day this week. Cliff has amazing faith and helps others
understand how the Gospel can help them personally. He really invites
the Spirit strongly. I'm so glad that I had a chance to do something
like this. Cliff started the day with us picking him up at 6:30 in the
morning. Then we studied from 8-11. The first hour is personal study,
the next is companion study, and the last is language study. After 11,
Cliff came to all of our appointments and did everything else we do.
We dropped him off at 9:00 at night and planned for the next day at
his house.
The people I work with are great. My companion, Elder Berry, teaches
really well. He does well at involving people in the lessons rather
than just preaching. He's also a pretty fun guy to be around. I hope
all is well for you. I love you.
-Elder Emery

Becoming a teacher
Perhaps the best way to find out if teaching is for you is by volunteering in a school.
You could contact your child's school or your local school and offer to help with something in particular. You need to be good at working in a team, have a sense of humour and really care about the children and teenagers you are working with.
Teacher training courses
Teaching is a graduate profession so you must have a first degree, and then a post graduate certificate of education (PGCE). If your first degree is in education, then you will not need a PGCE.
There are many routes to attaining qualified teacher status (QTS). To achieve qualified teacher status you need to complete an initial teacher training (ITT) course. There are a number of options available so you can choose the one which most suits your needs.
All ITT courses include the opportunity to spend time in school to help develop your teaching skills and they are designed to build your confidence as you learn about key teaching methods. Learn more about the options for ITT courses on the Department for Education's Teaching Agency website.

Qualifications from overseas
If you have a degree or qualification from another country, you can check for the UK equivalent on the UK NARIC website.
UK NARIC is a National Agency managed on behalf of the UK Government, providing the only official source of information on international education and training systems and qualifications and skills attained outside the UK.
