Part Time Receptionist Jobs Near Me
If you are looking for part time receptionist jobs near me, then you are not alone. Many people are looking for a career in this area and have been searching for a suitable opportunity for quite some time. However, there are many things to keep in mind before you start your search. Whether you have the necessary skills or not, you must prepare a strong resume. The skills required include computer knowledge and experience in customer-centric environments.
Job duties of a receptionist
A part-time receptionist is a job that requires excellent communication skills and competency in Microsoft Office applications. Previous experience in a similar role would be a plus. Job duties include greeting and directing clients, taking phone calls, processing incoming and outgoing mail, and coordinating office security. In addition to these duties, receptionists may also manage a small team of junior administrative staff members. They are responsible for greeting and directing customers, processing incoming mail and scheduling appointments, and preparing office documents.
A part-time receptionist's duties may be varied depending on the type of business and professional they work for. In addition to answering the phone and distributing mail, receptionists may be required to issue visitor badges and maintain a professional demeanor. They should also be knowledgeable about computer applications and office equipment. Good organizational skills and the ability to multitask are also required. Once hired, the receptionist can expect to be paid between $15 and $30 per hour.
Computer skills required
Receptionists perform several administrative tasks, including greeting visitors, answering phones, and scheduling appointments. Since the work entails constant contact with clients, it's vital to have computer skills, as many positions require the use of computers and software. Experience with MS Word, Microsoft Excel, and printers is helpful, as is knowledge of specialized industry software. A strong understanding of Microsoft Windows is advantageous, but it's not a must.
Receptionists must be capable of managing tricky calls, keeping track of information, and being a good communicator. They should also have excellent interpersonal skills, as their job requires them to be courteous and polite. Strong communication skills are essential, as the receptionist is often the first person customers interact with. Besides being a good listener, receptionists must have good grammar and spelling skills. They should be able to write and edit correspondence clearly.
Experience in customer-centric environments
Receptionists are responsible for greeting patients, coordinating appointments, distributing correspondence, and taking payments. The role also includes coordinating front desk activities, answering phones, and filing documents. Experience in customer-centric environments is a plus, as are strong interpersonal skills and attention to detail. To land one of these part-time receptionist jobs near me, consider applying for one of several entry-level positions in the medical field, including hospitals, clinics, and medical offices.
A good resume should highlight the skills you've acquired from a variety of customer-centric environments. Receptionists can also highlight their ability to multitask. Some companies are hiring for experienced receptionists with experience managing multi-tasking, while others are looking for someone with less experience. While writing your resume, remember that your qualifications are more important than your education. While a degree in marketing or business administration is a plus, experience in a customer-centric environment will definitely land you a higher paying job.
Ability to multitask
Most part time receptionist jobs require the candidate to have excellent multitasking skills. Many job descriptions will ask for examples of times when you have successfully managed multiple priorities at the same time. Even if you're a recent college graduate, it's a good idea to be prepared to give examples of times you've managed multiple tasks at once. In addition, be sure to prepare examples that show you can multitask while working with varying priorities.
Receptionist jobs aren't for everyone. Those who prefer quiet and creative working space may not want to consider this profession. Receptionist jobs are high-pressure, multitasking jobs that require excellent communication skills, organizational skills, and a positive attitude. If you are looking for part time receptionist jobs near me, consider a position in a fast-paced environment and work with a great team.

A Hamptons House Reimagined with Bold Style
In a Sagaponack spec house, designer Carol Egan emphasizes rad over trad.
Building a new home from the ground up can be filled with challenges, but so can reinventing one that already exists. Interior designer Carol Egan faced the latter circumstance when longtime clients in Sagaponack, she says, "decided it was time for something new after living in their house for almost 15 years."
Egan, a master of transformation, took on the charge with aplomb. Known for her curatorial eye and deep knowledge of comfortable materials—even when said material might be tempered steel—her sophisticated taste is energizing and unique. "We wanted the house to be fun," explains the Dublin-born, New York– based designer, who is partial to neutrals but spun the color wheel with a bit more gusto this time around. "Most people find bold and unexpected color choices to be a lot of fun."
The 7,500-square-foot house, which the clients bought new in 2006, has six en suite bedrooms, a full basement, and a pool pavilion on 3.2 acres within smelling distance of the ocean. "It's a typical shingle-style Hamptons home," says Egan, who decided to upend any expectations about the interiors by making some notable adjustments to the exterior, painting the cedar shakes a non-Hamptons "deep indigo" and the trim a medium gray.
Another aim of the renovation: Make the house function better for frequent visits from close family members. "If the bedrooms are all full, as they often are on weekends in the summer, the common rooms can't easily accommodate guests," the designer says. "We went with a lot of banquettes for maximum seating and multiple indoor and outdoor tables and lounge areas." Egan also broke down the hard division between the living room and adjacent library, creating a more open great room semi- separated by a two-sided fireplace in a floating wall of Douglas fir, a material put to extensive use in the revamp. She reclaimed some square footage by replacing one of the existing staircases with a sculptural version of her own design, and made everything light and airy by substituting wide planks of warm light oak for the house's preexisting "dark Jacobean" floors.
The living room envelope was kept soft and neutral, thereby allowing the furniture to tell a vivid color story, notably via an Yves Klein blue in both a Pierre Paulin banquette and Donald Judd side tables. Egan left the kitchen and dining rooms intact, but enlivened them with pale dove-colored paint and new furniture and fixtures, including a chromed-brass Kinkeldey Studio "lighting structure" originally designed in 1970. It gives the kitchen a science lab vibe, whereas the Eric Schmitt Studio chandelier in the dining room harks to even earlier roots. "Whatever the architecture," Egan muses, "you can update a room with a fresh coat of paint and a single statement piece."
To expand and brighten the master suite, Egan raised the roof and added a large window, then bisected the room with a wall of Douglas fir, one side of which anchors the bed in the sleeping area, and the other a suite of closets and a commodious bath. Color-blocking plays an important role in defining the look of the guest rooms. One features a muted yellow leather headboard that is matched by "wainscoting" painted on the walls; a teal canvas wall treatment in another intentionally mirrors the custom bed and linens. In the terra-cotta-hued sitting room on the second floor, Egan wrapped one shade up the walls and across the ceiling, but switched to a darker tone below an imaginary chair rail. "Creating a wainscoting with paint brings more traditional architecture forward, allowing it to have greater harmony with modern furniture," Egan says. "Color is a limitless world."

Composition Assignments
Each week a new concept, either aesthetic or technical in nature, will be presented in class. Compositions based on these ideas will be assigned each Thursday and will be due the following Thursday before class via Blackboard. Students will play their creations for each other in class each week and offer positive criticism. Emphasis is placed on nurturing an inclusive, supportive environment.
Over the course of the semester, each student will have the opportunity to demonstrate to the class a specific technique that is useful in their own composition practice. At the end of a successful presentation and the class discussion surrounding it, every student should be able to replicate this technique and incorporate it into their own artistic practice.
Concert Reports
Students will observe at least three performances of electronic music chosen from the class concert calendar and submit a concert report for each. Performances may be added to the concert calendar with prior permission. Concert reports should briefly answer the following questions:
- Discuss a specific memorable moment in the performance. What effect did it have on you? What musical techniques contributed to the creation of this effect?
- Discuss a moment or an aspect to the performance where you believe the composer's intent was not effectively communicated to the audience. How might they have better communicated their intent?
- What specific takeaway from this performance can you incorporate into your own artistic practice? What effects do you anticipate this will have on your own practice?
Final Project
The culmination of the course will be a final composition project, to be presented at the Electronic Music Marathon on Saturday, December 3, 2016, 6 – 10pm. This presentation of works will comprise the final exam for the course. Attendance is mandatory and the public will be invited.

Planning to buy that long cherished dream home?? Well congratulations, in today's day and age, just talking about buying a home can be a great source of excitement for a first-time homeowner. However often the reality of the situation overshadows the magic of the experience. Getting to understand all the options available and choosing the one most suitable can be a daunting task. Unlike before the availability of different sources of finance, in itself is one of the chief reasons people prefer to buy homes as opposed to rent them.
A good home loan scheme can really smoothen the way between you and your dream home. It is therefore crucial that you as a buyer have your basics on home loans clear. This will keep you from making some very expensive oversights during the purchase of a first home. Here are some basic "must-knows" about home loans.
What kinds of home loans are there?
Home loans, home extension loans, home improvement loans, land loans, NRI loans, home equity loans, short-term bridge loans, converting high-interest loans, and low-interest housing loans.
Who can get a home loan?
If you are an Indian resident or a non-resident individual, you can apply for a housing loan. In fact, you can also apply for a loan even before you've selected your property.
How much can I get as a loan?
Housing finance companies do not bankroll the entire value of the property; you will need to chip in about 15-20 per cent of the total amount. Besides, the loan amount a finance company will agree to will usually range between two and three times your annual household income. If you were married, a good idea would be to add on your spouse's income with your income to improve the chances of receiving a larger loan. While you're figuring out your ideal loan size, it's a good thing to think about your repayment capacity: loan borrowers have to repay a part of their loan every month in what are called 'equated monthly installments.
Usually, it doesn't exceed 50 per cent of your monthly household income.
Don't be timid when trying to understand the nitty-gritties of taking a housing loan. Ask questions if there are details you don't clearly understand, especially about legal matters such as what the company can do if you don't pay up on time (even once) or if you don't take up the loan before the stipulated time-frame.
What factors do housing finance companies/banks look at before sanctioning a housing loan?
In one word, credit-worthiness. Your credit-worthiness will depend on various factors such as age, qualifications, employment, work experience, dependents, previous track record of repaying any earlier loans you may have taken, etc. You will also need to provide a variety of personal and property documents. These could include salary slip, copy of income tax returns, etc. Property documents include original sale agreement, original receipts of payment made by the property to the builder, and other legal documents. The age of the property is also important - if it's more than a decade old, not too many companies will be in a hurry to finance it.
How do I pay the installments?
Loans can be repaid either through a deduction against salary, post-dated cheques, cash or demand drafts, or any other mode decided by your loan providing company.
What is 'interest rest'? What is the difference between an annual and monthly rest?
Interest rest can be defined as the principal outstanding on the date, which is considered to calculate the interest. When we say monthly reducing balance, it would mean that interest is calculated on the principal outstanding at end of every month after taking into consideration payment of the EMI. For the same loan amount, tenure and interest rate, EMIs for monthly rests are lower than they are for a plan with annual rests.
Other than the interest, what are the other costs I have to take into account when considering a housing loan?
There are many fees and charges that add on to your effective cost of taking a home loan. The important ones include:
Besides, some housing finance companies insist on the borrower taking out an home insurance policy -- with the loan provider being made the co-beneficiary-- before agreeing to hand down a loan.
Not all housing finance companies will refund the fees if you cancel the loan after accepting the offer letter -- some may retain a portion of the processing charges. You can request an increase/decrease from the original loan at any point of time.
If you've asked for an increase, you may be charged a fee. If you're looking at reducing your loan amount, the higher fees paid earlier is usually adjusted in future payments.
Well that's all for now, hopefully these tips will go a little way towards helping you get that dream home soon!

American style high end steak houses were until recently relatively unknown in the UK. One of the first to arrive was STK and when it comes to steaks, you get what you pay for. This real American steak experience is worth every penny, testament to the STK footprint which is now in cities including Dubai, Doha, Milan and beyond.
Located on the ground floor of the ME Hotel on the Strand, you enter the opulent surroundings of the dining room and find yourself in an elegant Anglicised version of an American Steak restaurant. For example, banquets are in grey or light pastel shades instead of being dark red or green, reflecting that this is STK with a London twist. The ambience oozes sophistication and the room has an almost club like feel to it with music and drinks to match.
A truly sublime steak experience awaits you if you ask for your steak to be prepared for you in the traditional American Steak House style. This involves cooking the steak at extremely high temperatures so that the outside of the steak becomes charred and forms a hard protective (and tasty) protective crust while the meat inside remains soft and moist.
I had visited STK when it first opened and was surprised then that the steak was not served this way. Little did I know that I only had to ask. On my most recent visit this is exactly what I did, and the result was heavenly. The higher the heat the less time the steak is on the grill and simultaneously there is a harder crust and softer, tastier meat inside.
To add to the true authenticity of the American steak experience at STK, most of the beef served is imported from America and is as such certified by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). This ensures that the flavour and texture of the meat is exactly the same as it would be stateside. After all what a cow eats has a direct effect on how it tastes, and rather like the terroir of a fine wine, where the beef comes from has a direct effect on its taste and texture. All beef is fed on grain for at least 120 giving that unique flavour profile and is cut in house by an STK master butcher.
Apart from USDA beef there is also a selection of Canadian and British grown steaks and there is a sirloin of Wagyu beef from Australia. For any of your dining companions who would like something other than steak there is lamb, chicken and numerous fish options on the menu. And given the carnivorous nature of the restaurant there is also a vegetarian option of sautéed mushroom and truffles.
Side dishes and steak toppings are very much worth a mention as they are generous and punchy. A smoked bacon and blue cheese topping is a must for those in search of big flavours. On the sides, black truffle mac n cheese and a mushroom pot pie went well with everything.
With the resident STK DJ now spinning tunes in the corner, who needs conversation when the magic of a beautifully cooked steak says it all?!

jordan's desert sand dunes
Publication: Lonely Planet Magazine
Edition: July 2012
Scale and positioning: Double page spread, pages 10 and 11
Subject: Desert sand dune in early evening light, Wadi Rum, Jordan
Date taken: February 19th 2012
Device: Sony Cybershot DSC-H55
My writing published: "The desert in southern Jordan was awe-inspiring. We went on a Jeep safari around the sights of the Wadi Rum desert - of Lawrence of Arabia fame - camping out one chilly night at the foot of some huge red mountains. Careering crazily around the desert in a Jeep, I saw this, my first ever sand dune. I love the water-like ripples in the sand and the way the dune snakes its way to the mountains in the distance. It was brilliant timing as the sun caught the outlines of the sand, creating shadows in all the right places. Within minutes of coming across the dune, the wind picked up and it was swept away. I feel privileged to have seen it."
Travelling brings you face to face with so many sights - some bordering on the sublime and others which, in their own way, manage to perfectly encapsulate a sense of place. Having taken thousands of photographs across many countries and continents, the question is what do I actually do with them next? To have them sat on a hard drive at home unseen by the world is a wasted opportunity - especially when I spent so much time composing them. The obvious answer is to share. Like myself, many travellers take to social media to share their snaps. Others, like myself, choose to set up an independent travel website or blog as a way of getting their photography out there. On two occasions now I have been successful in getting my photography out into the world using more traditional methods: the printed travel magazine.
I'm not a professional photographer nor do I travel with fancy camera equipment, preferring to opt for a small, compact camera which is both discreet and practical: for me a camera's ability to be quickly shoved-in and yanked-out-of my pocket is an essential requirement. I have never read my camera's manual to take advantage of its advanced functions and often have my camera on the automatic adjustment mode letting it do the work instead of me. With all this in mind I am especially happy to have had my photographs published in an edition of a respected travel magazine available in eleven countries around the world - the resultof which you see below. The opportunity to write a small description for each was an added bonus.
The Original Photograph
As Published in Lonely Planet Magazine
travel tips, links & resources
- Photography is a very personal art form; what one person sees another misses.
- Taking the perfect photograph doesn't need expensive camera equipment. I have achieved very many thousands of photographs of my travels which I am more than happy with - and which many people seem to like - using basic, compact devices. This is partly due to sheer practicality; I do not wish to be lugging tripods, additional lenses and lighting equipment anywhere on my travels.
- I opt for a basic (and rather old) zoom camera from Sony and my mobile phone which, admittedly, has a very impressive 18MP camera. Both of these pretty much cover the variety of scenarios where I am likely to want to photograph. For me, portability and practicality is key.

It has been recorded many times by artists such as Vera Lynn, Frank Sinatra and even Rod Stewart. This was my very first arrangement for 'Copious Notes' and I was just beginning to test my close harmony skills so it comes across as quite a conservative version – it may turn it quite different if I was to do it today!

Azure is now very much at the heart of Microsoft's enterprise strategy, providing a place to build the next generation of applications and services. It's easy to focus on it as a platform and as a host for virtual infrastructures, forgetting one if its other roles: a host for software as a service (SaaS).
Over the last few months, I've been talking to a lot of companies that you'd think of as traditional infrastructure or software providers. They're the type of company you'd talk to about adding storage hardware, security platforms, or hefty pieces of enterprise software. But now, as well as hardware and software for your datacenter, they're also providing software implementations in the Azure Marketplace. So can you.
Introducing the Azure Marketplace
For example, if you've been using a NetApp storage appliance in your on-premises applications, you may well want to use the company's Ontap storage management platform to link your cloud storage to your own datacenter. Using the Azure Marketplace, you can drop a virtual appliance into your virtual network, linking the two environments without having to change your management tool. Other well-known vendors in the Azure Marketplace include Barracuda, Chef, and Oracle.
There are two reasons this is happening:
- There's long been in a trend in the datacenter hardware space away from specialized processors to building on cheaper x86 systems. That's made it a lot easier to deliver virtual appliances for use in cloud-hosted virtual infrastructures, working with software-defined networks and storage.
- The growing maturity of Microsoft's ARM (Azure Resource Manager) templating language, for defining and deploying Azure infrastructures.
In the Azure Marketplace, you'll see a mix of solutions, free tools and virtual machine images, subscription services that work as part of your own Azure applications, and hosted services that can be used as part of a virtual infrastructure or on their own. The service catalog sorts Marketplace services by role, either as specific functions like databases or management tools, or as compute, storage, and networking services.
Adding a service to your Azure account is easy enough: Choose the service you want to use and then pick the subscription options, as well as choosing the Azure services you want to host the service instance. Generally, Azure resources are priced separately from a service, so you'll need to consider them as part of any budget. That's a different model from traditional SaaS plans, where you pay only for the licenses you need. Some services also require you to have existing on-premises licenses, so check before you deploy them into your applications.
Building and selling your own services on Azure
Microsoft provides a route from your own ARM templates to an Azure Marketplace service offering. That way, you can package existing software and services and sell them through Azure, giving you a new revenue stream. To sell on the Azure Marketplace, you need to be a certified, a process that starts with building the appropriate virtual machine images and templates for your application. Certified organizations also agree to various Azure Marketplace policies, along with publishing company information.
Once certified, you get access to the Cloud Partner Portal, where you can put together marketing materials and code, either as VMs or complete virtual infrastructures. The approval process for code is relatively quick; VM-based applications are usually approved within three business days, but more-complex services can take longer.
Describing infrastructure with ARM templates
ARM is the basis of much of Microsoft's infrastructure-as-a-service tools, and an essential tool if you're planning on using devops practices on Azure. With simple service descriptions for all the elements of an Azure virtual infrastructure, from servers to networking to storage to Azure platform services, it's an important part of working directly with Azure and integrating it with existing devops tools and services.
Once you've built an Azure virtual network, you can take all the elements you've used, turn them into an Azure resource group, and use that as the basis for an ARM template. ARM templates are JSON files, declarative descriptions of the contents of a resource group that can recreate it as and when required. They're a useful tool for developers and admins, allowing repeatable deployment of proven environments stored in configuration management systems and used as part of a continuous integration build process.
With Azure Resource Manager, there's a single consistent view for all the elements that go into building an Azure application. It's accessible from the Azure Portal, from the command line (using PowerShell or Bash), and through Visual Studio. By wrapping them in a resource group, all those elements also have the same life cycle: They're created and destroyed at the same time, as well as replicated in other regions.
Building ARM templates
You make your first an ARM template from existing resource group by exporting its current state. The resulting JSON file is ready for editing, using any text editor, though there is an ARM syntax tool built into Visual Studio and available for Visual Studio Code. It's easy to see how ARM templates describe each aspect of your virtual network, and you can quickly build a library of components that assemble into whatever infrastructure template you might need.
When a template loads into Azure, it's parsed and checked before running as a series of Azure API operations. These operate in parallel to build, configure, and deploy your application, including setting up Azure services.
Complex applications don't need to be in a single file, where it's easy to make mistakes that can affect deployments. Instead, you use a series of templates, wrapped in a single master template. That way, you can keep specific functions separate, with one template handling Azure databases, one storage and another for VMs. The master template handles the application life cycle, controlling the functional templates. Alternatively, you can have separate templates for separate parts of an application or service, where you're managing each part's life cycle separately.
Because ARM templates can wrap other ARM templates, if you're using an application from the Azure Marketplace, you can make it part of your own resource groups. This ensures that any future deployment accesses the same resources and services.
Mixing third-party services and virtual appliances in your Azure applications makes a lot of sense; such mashups let you take advantage of familiar tools or use features that would otherwise require significant configuration and management. With Microsoft certifying code and offering it through the Azure Marketplace, you've also got the assurance that it's been tested—as well as access to support services and a single billing platform.

Fortnite: Season 8 Start Date And Time Confirmed [Update]
A new season of Fortnite: Battle Royale is here.
Season 8 of Fortnite starts in just one day. Developer Epic Games recently confirmed that the new season of the battle royale game kicks off across all platforms this Thursday, February 28, when we'll likely get a sizable update introducing changes to the map, a new battle pass, new skins, challenges, and a whole lot more. [Update: Season 8 of Fortnite is now live across PS4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices. You can read all about what's new this season in the full Fortnite update 8.0 patch notes.]
New season changes are the biggest event in Fortnite, and with the game facing new competition from the likes of Apex Legends, we aren't expecting Epic to hold back. Specific timing regarding the Season 8 patch has now been announced: server downtime will begin at 1 AM PT / 4 AM ET / 9 AM GMT / 8 PM AET. There's no word on how long it will take, but given this is a larger-than-average update, it might be on the long side. Epic warns that the size of the patch itself "will be larger than normal updates."
Just as it has done in the run up to previous seasons, Epic has been releasing teaser images in the days leading up to Season 8. Each of the hints has come in the form of a poem that suggests the new season will have a pirate theme; the first references "X marks the spot" and treasure, while the second warns players to beware "those who arrive on the waves." The third and fourth each continue the trend but also contain what might be new skins for Season 8. That includes what appears to be a banana with a face, which would show that not everything in the new season will be directly tied to pirates (or especially serious).
What this means as far as gameplay goes remains to be seen, but it'll presumably somehow tie into the earthquakes that have been occurring in the game. Players first began experiencing these tremors earlier this month following the release of Fortnite's 7.30 update, and they've been growing in intensity since, so much so that cracks are now appearing in the island.
We'll find out soon enough what all this means for Season 8, but in the meantime, players still have a few days to complete any remaining Season 7 challenges, including the new Overtime challenges. Epic is giving the Season 8 Battle Pass to players for free if they finish these Overtime challenges, so you'll want to complete them before the season ends to get your hands on the pass without having to shell out any V-Bucks.
You also have until the end of Season 7 to unlock all the variants of the Prisoner skin. If you need help finishing any of this season's challenges, you can find all of GameSpots tips and guides in our complete Season 7 challenges roundup.

Why should you be concerned about preventing falls? In active people over 65 who fall and break a hip, more than half never return to their previous level of activity. Falls are the number one cause of accidental death in adults over 65 years of age.
What causes falls?
There are many reasons why people fall – many are preventable. Sometimes medical problems or medications can cause falls. Other times, people can fall rushing to the bathroom, or tripping over cords or throw rugs. Balance problems or muscle weakness can also lead to falls.
Am I at risk of falling?
* Answering YES to any of these questions indicates that you may be at risk for falling. If you are at risk, or you are concerned about taking the sit to stand physical test, proceed directly to the action steps to reduce your risk.
Take this test to determine your risk of falling:
For this test you will need:
- A straight-backed chair
- A stopwatch or clock with a second hand
What to do:
Record your fall risk score:
Action steps to reduce your risk:
High Risk:
Individuals that fall within the high risk category have a higher chance of falling that could lead to injury. It is recommended that if you fall within this category, you consult with your physical therapist and/or doctor for advice and instruction to improve your strength and balance.
Medium Risk:
Individuals that fall within the medium risk category have a slightly less risk of falling, however, there is still the potential that a fall could occur. If you fall within this category, you may consider adding adding strength and balance exercises to your workout or activity routine to decrease your overall risk. Additionally, you may also consider talking with a physical therapist and/or doctor for additional guidance.
Low Risk:
Individuals that fall within the low risk category generally have a low chance of falling. We recommend adding strength and balance exercises to your workout or activity routine to keep your risk low.
How can a physical therapist help decrease my fall risk?
A physical therapist can conduct a thorough fall risk assessment. If the assessment shows that you are at risk, the therapist will perform a thorough evaluation. Based on the evaluation results, your physical therapist will design a plan that is tailored to your needs to improve your overall balance and strength.
If your fall risk score was high, or you feel working with a physical therapist would help you reduce your risk of falling, contact us today.

Mutual Inspirations Festival Launch
On September 5, at 6 pm, the Embassy of the Czech Republic presented Václav Havel's Evening. This very special kick off to the festival explored the many nuances of Havel's personality. See the official video from the festival launch.
The program featured the presentation "Prison Experience of Václav Havel in Memories and Documents", with special guests Petra Čáslavová (Political Prisoners.eu) and Tomáš Bouška (ASPEN Prague). The screening of Jan Novák's film "Citizen Havel Goes on Vacation" (Občan Havel jede na dovolenou, 2004, 90 minutes, Czech with English subtitles) followed the presentation. The documentary recreates Václav Havel's trip across Czechoslovakia in 1985, when he was still the country's most prominent dissident. In the course of one week, he was twice thrown into jail for 48 hours of preventive detention and followed by over 300 plain-clothed policemen.
The event concluded with the opening of the exhibition Olga Havlová: In the Memories of Her Friends and in the Photographs of Bohdan Holomíček (sponsored by ÚSTR Prague and PANT Ostrava).
In 2013 the Czech civic organization Political Prisoners.eu launched a new project aimed at exploring Václav Havel's prison experience. The newly developed website dedicated to this project under the domain prisonerhavel.eu / vezenhavel.cz will gather different sources of information such as documents from institutions of repression, documents of human rights organizations defending Václav Havel, documents regarding the reception of Havel's situation in the official media, samizdat as well as international media, prison correspondence, expressions of solidarity within the dissent and prison memories of Václav Havel, his friends, relatives, and cellmates.
YOU CAN SUPPORT THE PROJECT by sending us financial donation.

Coyotes once lived only in prairies and deserts of the western United States and in Mexico. Today they thrive almost anywhere in North America.
- Common Name:
- Coyote
- Scientific Name:
- Canis latrans
- Type:
- Mammals
- Diet:
- Omnivore
- Group Name:
- Pack
- Average Life Span In The Wild:
- Up to 14 years
- Size:
- Head and body: 32 to 37 inches; tail: 16 inches
- Weight:
- 20 to 50 pounds
Adaptability—that's the main reason for the success of the coyote. A coyote is naturally adaptable because it eats such a wide range of food. If it can't find mice or voles to eat, lizards, insects, or even garbage will do.
In Native American stories coyotes are clever and tricky. Some coyotes kill calves and lambs on people's ranches and farms. For a century people have tried to kill coyotes by using poison, traps, and guns. Still coyotes continue to thrive. This trickster of Native American tales often gets fooled—but it always bounces back.
Coyotes vary in body size from 32 to 37 inches (81 to 94 centimeters). Their tails can be up to 16 inches long (41 centimeters).

Collagenolytic proteinases play an important pathological role in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells. However, little is known about the role of interstitial collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1; MMP-1) in this process. To investigate the expression of the MMP-1 gene in cancer tissues, an in situ hybridization study was carried out in gastrointestinal tract cancers (one esophageal cancer, five gastric cancers, and four colorectal cancers), using a35S-labeled MMP-1 cDNA probe. The MMP-1 gene was expressed in the stromal cells of fibrous tissue around cancer nests, especially at the margin of invasion and/or within the cancer nest; however, no definite expression within cancer cells was observed. Expression of the MMP-1 gene in the stromal cells was more common in well differentiated gastric adenocarcinoma than in poorly differentiated adenocarcinomas. These findings indicate that expression of the MMP-1 gene is greater in stromal cells that are closely associated with cancer cells, suggesting a pathophysiological role of MMP-1 in the invasion and metastasis of cancer cells.

No matter where and how far you fly, with the ION 6 nothing stands in the way of a personal best flight. But on this journey the fun does not fall by the wayside, because simple launch behaviour, pleasant handling and an effective speed system are included as standard. Or put differently, with the ION 6, both pilots new to the EN B class and (XC) professionals are well-equipped for every adventure – be it at the local site, when chasing kilometres or on paragliding trips
The line length and thus the distance between the pilot and the canopy is significantly reduced on the ION 6. This results in more direct handling in the air as well as advantages during take off. For example, it requires less room to lay out the canopy and the wing inflates quickly and reliably. Additionally, the curvature of the wing has been reduced, meaning the canopy is "flatter". This increases the roll damping and ensures stable flight. Due to the short lines, and despite the high roll damping, the ION 6 reacts precisely to brake inputs – and the pilot can feel what is happening above them without delay. Another consequence of the reduced curvature is the increased projected aspect ratio (3.84) compared to the ION 5 (3.52). However, the flat aspect ratio has increased by only 0.6%.
Successful cross-country flying requires complete concentration. The ION 6 makes this easy to do with its high level of passive safety, leaving you time to enjoy the view on the way. In flight, it quickly becomes clear that it can be turned particularly fla– i.e. you can't "overcook it" when you want to fly a tight turn. This means you lose less height and can use even weak thermals effectively. But banking it higher, if you want a little more dynamics, is easily possible and this requires little brake travel and moderate brake pressure. In addition, the ION 6 has mini-ribs with internal seams, which increase the performance of the glider and ensure a smooth trailing edge. The other features built into the wing are a Mini-Rib Vector Tape and 3D-Shaping at the leading edge.
The ION 6 has specially designed adjustable risers. This system is also used, for example, on the MENTOR 6 (EN/LTF B) and the SECTOR (EN/LTF C). What does this mean? The A3 line is shortened less during acceleration than the A1 and A2 lines. This increased the stability of the wing during accelerated flight. Apart from that, the risers are standard and are very user-friendly on launch and during ground handling. The coloured markings for right and left, which also continue on the brake handles and the carabiners of our harnesses, make it easy to check whether you have hooked in correctly. By the way… line sorting is also easy, because the ION 6 has sheathed main, brake and stabilo lines and follows the colour scheme recommended by the PMA: A = red, B = yellow, C = blue, brake = orange, stabilo line = green.
For six generations, the ION has enabled both talented beginners (in countries where training with EN B gliders is permitted) and recreational pilots with cross-country ambitions to further refine their skills. It offers high passive safety, direct handling and performance in one - which gives it great potential to assist pilots in their development. If you want to increase both XC duration and distance, you will find that there must be a match between your own ability to concentrate and the attention that the glider itself demands. This is where the ION 6 really shines and enables relaxed flights. The target group of pilots for whom this glider is suitable is correspondingly broad.
In addition to the standard 3D Shaping there is a Zig-zag 3D Shaping seam on each cell. The advantage is that this seam doesn't run in the direction of the spanwise force. This means the seam runs more cleanly and is more aerodynamically advantageous. This innovation reduces the creases in the leading edge.
Mini-ribs Mini-ribs increase the number of cells in the rear wing area and thus provide an aerodynamically optimised trailing edge. The necessary seams are on the inside. The mini-ribs also help to keep the brake pressure moderate.Mini-Rib Vector Tape In the ION 6, an additional vector tape runs through slots in the mini-ribs. This tape reduces the crease that is created when braking. This markedly increases climb performance and handling. Additionally, there is a brake gathering system on the trailing edge. These features mean the ION 6 has a beautiful, smooth trailing edge, even when the brakes are applied.
We not only test the cloth for durability (high porosity or reduced tear resistance through UV damage or wear) but also for mechanical robustness, for example stretching. For quality control purposes we regularly take samples during serial production. Good to know: regardless of whether particularly light or regular cloth was used, we give an extensive warranty on every new NOVA paraglider. A condition for this is timely registration.

What's up my beloved followers? What are you doing this weekend?
I am chilling this Saturday and tomorrow I am going with my mommy to see my grandma and my family. Today I published on IG this outfit that I wore to my friend's wedding. I fell in love with it when I saw it in a shop and just had to buy it but… I had a little accident during the wedding.
So there I was in my new, red jumpsuit having fun. I got to the dancefloor, the music was great and then all of the sudden I just felt my mother literally grabbing my ass and whispering in my ear that my jumpsuit ripped.
That's right. The jumpsuit has a very long zip on the back and right underneath my zip and above my ass the jumpsuit ripped. The problem with the hole was that it was just getting bigger. That sounded wrong, but you know what I wanted to say.
I had to leave the wedding and go to my apartment and change clothes. I laughed the whole situation off and still had a blast at the wedding. There you have it, the story about this jumpsuit. And hell yeah, I'm taking it to the tailor to fix all the seams, just in case!

The Biggest Casino Bonuses Offered to High Rollers
Online casinos offer several different types of bonuses to different kinds of players. All players in top online casinos are treated equally, but the players that deposit and wager huge amounts of cash, who are known as high rollers, often receive special rewards and incentives. High rollers receive the biggest casino bonuses and rewards since online casinos earn most of their profits through their activities.
What Is the Biggest Casino Bonus Offered to High Rollers?
The biggest casino bonus offered to high rollers, which is also referred to as a high roller bonus is a type of casino bonus offered exclusively to players that deposit and wager massive amounts of money. The high roller bonuses are part of the VIP package offered to such players that includes both bonuses and other perks. Still, high rollers are required to wager the bonuses received several times before they can withdraw any winnings.
What Are the Different Types of High Rollers Bonuses?
High roller bonuses are of the following types:
- High roller no deposit bonus
- High roller match deposit bonus
- High roller bonus spins
High Roller No Deposit Bonus
A player is automatically credited with a specific bonus amount even without making a deposit into their casino account. The reward is instantly triggered once the players signs up for a casino account. The high roller no deposit bonus can be used to play various casino games. It is worth noting, however, that the high roller no deposit bonus is rather rare and is almost always offered to players with a history of placing massive wagers at various gambling establishments.
High Roller Match Deposit Bonus
A high roller match deposit bonus is often offered as part of a welcome bonus by an online casino for choosing to come play there. The bonus varies from one casino to the next. For instance, many casinos may offer a 100% match deposit bonus up to $3,000, which means that any deposit the high roller makes of up to $3,000 is matched by the casino.
High Roller Bonus Spins
High roller bonus spins are offered to players that love placing massive wagers on various slot games. Just as is the case with the bonus spins offered to regular players, the high roller bonus spins can be either part of the welcome package offered to new players or it can be offered to existing players as a promo code that can be redeemed for various rewards at an online casino.
How to Claim the Biggest Casino Bonuses
To claim the biggest casino bonuses offered to high rollers, you will typically be required to meet the following criteria:
Minimum Deposit
A high roller is required to make a certain minimum deposit to show his/her commitment to playing high stakes. The minimum deposit could be $1,000, $2,000, or $5,000 and playing such massive amounts regularly. Making the minimum deposit is the equivalent of a sign-up fee to become part of the high rollers club.
Point Accumulation
Every time that you play casino games at a particular online casino, you build up loyalty points, which are calculated on the basis of $1 = 1 point. If you finally accumulate a certain number such as 10,000 or even 20,000 points, you will be automatically be considered a high roller since you have demonstrated loyalty with the brand and have wagered a significant amount of money.
Invitation or Referral
You can also become a high roller through an invitation-only offer. It could be a promotion or incentive for other high rollers to introduce likeminded people to the casino and receive benefits, rewards, and bonuses as a result of introducing someone. However, it is worth noting that this isn't the case in all casinos and that rules can vary from one casino to the next.

In China, around 20 cities have been locked down and over 56 million people have been quarantined and at least 106 people have died after the outbreak of a new form of coronavirus was reported in Wuhan.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), over 4520 cases have been reported globally.
The virus has infected several persons in India as well and till Sunday, over 100 people were kept under observation in Kerala and Maharashtra.
Let's know coronavirus
World Health Organization (WHO) identifies coronaviruses as a family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases including Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
The viruses were originally transmitted between animals and humans.
There are several known coronaviruses which are circulating in animals and are yet infect humans.
Coronavirus is derived from the Latin word corona, meaning crown or halo and under an electron microscope, the virus looks like a solar corona.
Symptoms of coronavirus
Signs of infection include fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties.
WHO further identifies pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome and kidney failure as some of the other symptoms of a coronavirus infected person.
WHO sources identify 10-14 days as the incubation period for the virus, however, the exact period still remains unknown.
Coronavirus precautions
- Maintain good hygiene by constantly washing hands with soap and cleaning them with hand sanitizers, especially after coughing, sneezing to prevent against coronavirus
- Avoid direct hand contact with eyes and nose as much as possible
- Wear masks in the heavily crowded areas
- An advice for the doctors too – Avoid as much as possible contact with patients and their personal tools and use masks
- When coughing and sneezing, use tissues to cover mouth and nose. After that, dispose of the used tissue in the trash can and then wash your hands thoroughly and properly
- When you sneeze and there are no tissues available, use the upper part of your arms to cover your mouth and nose and avoid using your hands
- Maintain good hygiene habits, in general, to prevent coronavirus
- Wash vegetable and fruits very well before eating them
- Keeping a good healthy diet and exercising along with other healthy habits, in addition to having enough sleep, will enhance the body's immunity system.

What I am making an attempt to say is, your diet plan is equally as vital as your exercise routine (if not more so) in terms of getting the outcomes you wish to get. Fats restrict on diet: Guantee that not more than 30% of your dietary intake is in the form of fats. If a patient's response to a weight reduction treatment is deemed efficient (weight loss of 5% or extra of physique weight at three mo) and secure, it is suggested that the medication be continued.
Particularly,†Anne defined, our Keto diet product relies on scientific research showing that when completed right, the low-carb, high-fat diet does not only obtain amazing ends in the short-term however results in even better success in the long run.†Susie Burrell, a dietitian based in New York agrees with the assertions of Dr. James and his colleague.

The 2016 MLS SuperDraft is an opportunity for the San Jose Earthquakes to add to their roster depth. With the eighth selection in the draft, it is unlikely the Quakes will find a player that can step right into the starting line-up, but it is expected that the pick will be more than a project.
In 2015, the Earthquakes selected Fatai Alashe with the #4 overall pick, and the Michigan State midfielder excelled at the professional level. In addition to scoring the first San Jose at newly christened Avaya Stadium in a home-opening 2-1 victory against the Chicago Fire, Alashe went on to receive runner-up honors in the voting for MLS Rookie of the Year. 2015 also saw the defensive midfielder's first ever call-up to the U.S. men's national team, where he featured prominently during the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.
Previous picks by the Quakes in Round One of the SuperDraft have not always panned out. In 2010, San Jose chose defender Ike Opara with the #3 pick and in 2012 went with midfielder Sam Garza at #6. Both players were on Generation Adidas contracts, making them a bit more attractive in a salary-cap league, but neither really made an impact with the Earthquakes. Opara suffered numerous injuries and was eventually traded to Sporting Kansas City. Garza lasted a couple of seasons before being released outright from MLS.
Pre-draft speculation has predicted that the Earthquakes will look to select a defender with the #8 overall pick. Stanford University left back Brandon Vincent, a local player with a huge upside at the professional level, would have been a great choice for San Jose, but the sought after senior recently was called up to the U.S. men's national team and will likely be chosen in the top-three of the draft. It is not implausible to imagine the Quakes trading up the selection chart in order to grab Vincent -- the Quakes almost landed in the top-three in last year's draft, but a trade fell through at the last moment.
The 2016 MLS SuperDraft will be televised, but only briefly. The first overall selection will be made live on SportCenter on ESPN via a cutaway to Baltimore. The remainder of the draft will be broadcast online through the league's official website. Click here to watch the San Jose Earthquakes selections.
In addition to the #8 overall pick, the Quakes will have a second-round selection at #28. Rounds three and four of the SuperDraft will occur via conference call on January 19.
Should the Earthquakes make a trade and move up in the draft? Will the Quakes find value simply staying at #8? Who would you pick if you were playing general manager? Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

In summary
Justice in debt-collection cases is one-sided. Borrowers almost never have legal representation in court — the state should guarantee the right to a lawyer.
By Prasad Krishnamurthy
Prasad Krishnamurthy is a professor of law at the UC Berkeley School of Law, firstname.lastname@example.com.
Emma Elizabeth Gonzalez, Special to CalMatters
Emma Elizabeth Gonzalez is the directing attorney at the Public Law Center in Orange County, email@example.com.
In principle, a court is a forum in which the parties resolve disputes by discovering the truth. In practice, by rubber-stamping hundreds of thousands of creditor judgments against unrepresented or even absent defendants, California's courts have become a pliant arm of the debt-collection industry. With many legal protections for California's borrowers because of COVID-19 set to expire, better regulation and representation are urgently required to reverse this disturbing practice.
Justice in debt-collection cases is one-sided. According to a study by the Center for Responsible Lending, defendants were represented by attorneys in only 2% of debt cases in California. In two-thirds of these cases, the plaintiff creditor obtained a default judgment because the defendant did not show up to court, often because they were never properly served.
In recent years, the dockets of California's courts have been dominated by debt collection. From 2012 to 2017, the top 20 debt buyers in California filed nearly 440,000 collection cases in the 10 largest counties in the state. These numbers could accelerate as a result of COVID-19, further imperiling low-income and minority borrowers.
Because they are unlikely to face an opposing attorney or any defendant at all, creditors rarely obtain the required information under state and federal law to win a litigated case. For example, the California Fair Debt Buying Practices Act requires debt buyers to document and establish the chain of ownership of the debt, the amount and age of the debt, and the identity of the borrower and the original creditor prior to filing a complaint in court. Yet 60% of cases by debt buyers are filed without this legally required documentation. Even when plaintiffs do submit documentation, their documents often do not refer to the facts of the case or do not match those facts.
These shoddy practices are usually a result of robo-signing. Debt buyers and their attorneys submit sworn statements that are prepared in bulk but do not establish, with any particularity, the validity and ownership of the debt.
We suggest one modest reform and one more ambitious one to protect Californians from illegal collection practices and lawsuits.
The modest reform: Prohibit these illegal collection practices. Under the Debt Collection Licensing Act, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation is responsible for licensing debt collectors. The department also has the authority, under the California Consumer Financial Protection Law, to prohibit unlawful, unfair, deceptive or abusive acts or practices.
The financial protection department should declare the systematic filing of complaints by debt collectors, with documentation that is insufficient under the law, to be an abusive practice. Using electronic court records, regulators could obtain a random sample of every debt collector's filings and determine whether they are abusing the legal process through insufficient or inaccurate filings. Abusive filing practices should result in the loss of a license if they are not corrected.
The ambitious reform: Low-income defendants should be entitled to legal representation in civil cases. For the legal system to work, defendants need a competent lawyer. The right to civil representation is far from a revolutionary concept. For decades, Article 6(1) of the European Convention on Civil Rights and Article 47 of the European Union Charter of Fundamental Rights have guaranteed such a right. At least 20 EU member states now mandate either free or subsidized legal representation in all civil cases.
California could set an important precedent by becoming the first state to guarantee legal representation in civil cases. As in Europe, low-income defendants would receive free representation, with a sliding scale so that defendants' payments increased with their income.
Momentum for this change has been building. California already provides a right to counsel in certain civil cases affecting health, safety, child custody, due process, equal protection and proceedings involving prisoners. In addition, the Sargent Shriver Counsel Act has created a number of highly successful pilot programs implementing the right to counsel in civil cases affecting basic human needs.
Whether it's to buy a home, a car or an appliance, attend college, or cope with sickness and unemployment, debt is a part of life for most Californians. California borrowers deserve a system in which creditors follow the law, not one in which they obtain faulty judgments against absent defendants.
Better regulation by the financial protection department can curb some creditor abuses, but only when California enacts a right to legal representation in civil cases will we approach justice for borrowers in California's courtrooms.
Both authors are members of the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation's Debt Collection Advisory Committee. Prasad Krishnamurthy has previously written about student diversity at the University of California.

Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh has promoted linebackers coach Don Martindale to defensive coordinator [url=http://www.officialoilers.com/authentic-adidas-olivier-rodrigue-jersey]Authentic Olivier Rodrigue Jersey[/url] , assuring a seamless transition in the wake of Dean PeesÆ retirement.
Martindale has been coaching Baltimore linebackers since 2012. The 54-year-old was the defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos in 2010.
After Pees ended his six-year run as the RavensÆ defensive coordinator on Jan. 1, Harbaugh said he wanted to maintain continuity with his new hire.
öIÆm a believer in this system,ö Harbaugh said last week. öThis system has been something thatÆs been developed for a long period of time, and we have worked really hard every single year to make it better.ö
Martindale has been part of that process. He coached the Ravens inside linebackers from 2012-15 and spent the past two seasons as the teamÆs linebackers coach.
In announcing the move Tuesday, Harbaugh said MartindaleÆs öaggressive mentality will serve to take our defense to new levels.ö
Harbaugh said Martindale öknows the ins and outs of what we have been about on defense and has been an important contributor to our success on that side of the ball.ö
Also on Tuesday, Harbaugh promoted Mike Macdonald to linebackers coach and Sterling Lucas to quality control defense.
The 30-year-old Macdonald joined the Ravens in 2014 as a coaching intern on defense. He served as a defensive assistant in 2015 and 2016, and this season was the defensive backs coach. Baltimore led the NFL this season with 22 interceptions and forced a league-best 34 turnovers.
MILWAUKEE Ś Despite bolstering their lineup by adding Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich over the winter, runs have been hard to come by for the Milwaukee Brewers this season.
Except against the Philadelphia Phillies, that is.
Through the first four meetings between the two teams this season, Milwaukee has scored 40 runs and surpassed the 10-run mark in three of those contests, winning all three including a 13-2 decision Friday night.
The BrewersÆ only loss to Philadelphia this season came last Sunday when right-hander Zach Eflin (3-2, 3.63) held them to a pair of runs over six innings as the Phillies avoided a sweep with a 4-3 victory at Citizens Bank Park.
ōI go out every outing with the intent for it to be my best [url=http://www.officialoilers.com/authentic-adidas-ryan-mcleod-jersey]Authentic Ryan McLeod Jersey[/url] , but especially when you have a team that beats us twice in a row, you really kind of bear down,ö Eflin said afterward. ōI wouldnÆt say try harder, but you want to make sure you limit your mistakes and put a stop to whatÆs happening.ö
HeÆll get another shot at holding MilwaukeeÆs offense in check Saturday afternoon when the Brewers (42-27) and Phillies (35-32) resume their three-game weekend series at Miller Park.
EflinÆs performance against Milwaukee helped solidify what had been a somewhat tenuous hold on rotation slot. The 24-year-old got off to a good start, posting a 1.56 ERA through his first three outings then scuffled in a pair of five-run efforts against the Blue Jays and Dodgers.
He stabilized himself by holding the Cubs to a run over 7 2/3 innings on June 5 and followed that with his strong showing against the Brewers, striking out nine.
ōI think the biggest change is him being responsible for taking that step forward, him deciding how heÆs going to get swings and misses,ö Phillies manager Gabe Kapler said. ōItÆs explosive fastballs up to left-handed batters and using his four-seam (fastball) instead of the two-seamer, sometimes, to left-handers has made a huge difference.ö
Right-hander Junior Guerra (3-4, 2.71) takes the mound for Milwaukee, looking for his first victory since May 14. Guerra has pitched beautifully during that stretch [url=http://www.officialoilers.com/authentic-adidas-evan-bouchard-jersey]Authentic Evan Bouchard Jersey[/url] , though, posting a 2.22 ERA with 23 strikeouts and only five walks in 28 1/3 innings of work.
He is looking much more like the pitcher who had a breakout campaign two years ago as a 31-year-old rookie, than he does the Guerra of last season, who was hindered by injuries, inconsistency and command issues.
ōIÆve been working a lot with (pitching coach Derek Johnson),ö Guerra said after holding the Cubs to a run over six innings in his last start. ōWeÆve been working a lot on rhythm, throwing strikes. ThatÆs one of the biggest factors for me in doing this well.
ōI just feel like IÆm healthy, and thatÆs the most important thing. When IÆm healthy, I feel like I can contribute to this team. ThatÆs the most important thing compared to last year.ö
