Cigarette smoke has more than 2000 different chemicals in it. Electronic cigarettes have only one, nicotine or none at all.
Electronic cigarettes come in different strengths of nicotine. You can slowly decrease the amount of nicotine intake you have. Than, use an electronic cigarette that doesn't have any nicotine at all. Electronic cigarettes come in a verity of different flavors; from all types to fruit flavors to all types of candy flavors.
Electronic cigarettes are becoming highly recommended by doctor as a healthier alternative to smoking. Even though, the industry is new, and still not properly regulated or tested, yet. The fact, you can get one without any nicotine makes them a much better alternative, to smoking cigarettes.

By Katy Tynan
Times were tough – they still are. So you cut back on your training budget and you backed off your employee development programs because, let's face it, it was that or layoffs. Your employees understood – they all nodded their heads in the company meeting when your CEO said it was time for everyone to tighten their belts and work through this difficult year. No one resigned. No one even asked any questions.
But now they're sitting in their cubes reading the news and seeing the glimmers of recovery. They're starting to get calls from recruiters again. The grass is getting greener – and not just because it's spring.
Back in August, Forbes.com published an article on preparing for the upturn, but so far there has been little evidence that companies are making the changes they need to retain their high performers. So in case you've decided to take a wait-and-see attitude with respect to making sure your best workers aren't eyeballing the exit, consider this quote from Richard Martin in The State of HR: From Recession to Recovery:
"Pressure is building, and there are indicators throughout the survey findings that 2010 may see a huge release in pent-up discontent and a surge in employees looking to move on."
The recession has fostered a "hunker down" mentality which, while it has nominally resulted in less turnover, doesn't translate into engaged employees who feel strongly connected and committed to their jobs and their employers. Most managers have accepted a drop in enthusiasm and engagement as a sign of the times, but without a proactive plan to re-engage your people, attitudes and engagement won't rebound on their own. How can you drill down into the mindset of your team members and find out what makes them feel engaged and enthusiastic about their roles? The answer is simply to take the bull by the horns and have an open conversation. Schedule a meeting with each member of your team and ask them these three questions:
I can see you rolling your eyes. Most companies and managers don't ask these questions because they don't want to hear that their employees are unhappy – and because they don't have resources to offer training or compensation increases. Why ask the question if you can't do anything about it? Here's why:
The most powerful tool in your arsenal as you approach the task of boosting the engagement of your high performers is your ability to listen. So whether you're sitting in the boardroom or just the nicest cube in your row, if you manage people, now is the time to find out whether they're comfortable where they sit or if they're perched on the edge of their seats.
Take the time to develop and communicate an employee engagement strategy that focuses on retaining your high performers. Make a concerted effort to reinvest in the people that make your team great.

Connected and Automated Vehicles (C/AV) will present new opportunities and challenges for planning agencies with respect to identifying, prioritizing, and evaluating projects and programs. The resources below are a starting point to help planners better understand C/AV technologies and their potential impact on transportation planning. The FHWA Office of Planning is currently developing a separate web page that will provide a comprehensive look at C/AV and Planning.
Planning Techniques to Address Connected and Automated Vehicles
Connected Vehicles
Connected Vehicles (CV), implemented for example through Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technology, apply emerging communication and intelligent transportation technologies to improve safety, mobility and efficiency of the transportation system. V2I investments are under consideration today by many planning agencies. Planning techniques for evaluating investments in CV include Planning for Operations, Performance-Based Planning, and Scenario Planning.
Automated Vehicles
Automated Vehicles (AV) are finding their way onto our highways in increasing numbers. There are many uncertainties in what AVs will be able to do, how they will be deployed, and how the public will use them. That makes it impossible to know today whether AVs will call for new investments, or whether AVs will make certain future planned investments obsolete before they are built. In addition, regulatory decisions made outside the planning process will have a significant (and still unknown) effect on how AVs are deployed. Key planning activities include discussing AVs during the planning process, revisiting the discussions regularly during planning document update cycles, and regularly re-assessing what we are learning from pilot projects and on-road testing. Planning techniques that can be used to develop responses to AVs include Scenario Planning and Performance-Based Planning and Programming.
The TPCB peer program is a free resource for agencies in need of transportation planning assistance.
Visit the peer program page to learn more or apply for a peer event.

Finnair to nix special A330 paint job for 'indiscretion'
HELSINKI (AP) - Finnair says it will remove a Finnish artist's painting adorning one of its Airbus aircraft after the designer acknowledged she copied the theme of her work from a Ukrainian folk artist.
Finnair spokeswoman Paivyt Tallqvist says the design will be painted over as soon as possible. The Airbus 330, used on routes to New York and Asia, was due to leave Wednesday for Osaka, Japan.
PHOTOS: Other unique aircraft paint schemes
The design, known as "Metsanvaki" (forest folk), was drawn by Kristina Isola in 2008 as a design for Marimekko, a Finland-based international textile and clothing design company.
Isola has apologized for her "indiscretion" in copying a work by Ukrainian Maria Primatshenko.
Tallqvist said Finnair will continue collaborating with Marimekko, which provides the national carrier with designs for textiles and other products.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 3, 2016
"The governor and the speaker have a choice to make. Today can do go down as the worst day of Sheldon Silver's life, or today can go down as the day when ethics reform stopped being an abstraction. Under Leader Kolb's direction, our conference has already made it clear where we stand. We stand for a government that works for real people, not shell corporations and special interests. We want to craft legislation that serves mothers and fathers, not New York City lobbyists and wealthy donors. We want to build a government that's an inspiration for our sons and daughters, not a cautionary tale of misplaced trust and misguided values."

Schoenberg and serial music
Schoenberg being a lover of order in music (he used traditional forms) created a set of rules that composers could use. Also he was influenced by the socialist belief in absolute economic and social equality and gave the notes absolute equality or "socialism in music". Also I know this is annoying but Schoenberg's opera was published as Moses und Aron Schoenberg changed it because Moses und Aaron had 13 letters a number he feared deeply. (not kidding)

Obedience and Agility Training
Due to trainer availability, we are not looking to run a foundation agility course at present.
Agility training can not be started until your dog is 12 months old. However we now offer a foundation agility course for dogs aged 6 months+. This course will teach you and your dog the basics needed for future agility training and will introduce your dogs to the equipment.
The Foundation Agility Course is designed for young dogs from 5 or 6 months to 12 or 15 months. All of the training takes place on the ground – there is NO height involved with the jumps thus avoiding undue pressure on young dog's joints. The following foundation skills will provide a good grounding for adult Agility classes or will just benefit you and your dog for basic training and obedience.
Dog agility and obedience training in Somerset and Dorset. Classes in Mudford near Yeovil and Milborne Port near Sherborne. A fun and friendly club.

Atlanta, Ga. – April 6, 2016 – On Saturday, April 30, dozens of local Comcast NBCUniversal employees and their families, friends and community partners will "make change happen" as they volunteer to beautify the Ben Hill Recreation Center and Park in Atlanta as part of the 15th annual Comcast Cares Day. The facility is located at 2405 Fairburn Rd SW in Atlanta.
Comcast Cares Day, which takes place each April during National Volunteer Month, is Comcast NBCUniversal's companywide celebration of their year-round commitment to service and the nation's largest single-day corporate volunteer effort in the country. This year, the Comcast South region will host nearly 119 projects, with 36 initiatives scheduled to be held throughout Georgia.
Starting at 8:30 a.m., volunteers at Ben Hill Recreation Center and Park will handle trash and debris pickup and removal; clear walkways and brush to assist with pedestrian traffic; paint the pavilion and seating area; repair and paint the wooden bleachers; mulch various areas throughout the park; and beautify the area's playground.
This year, Comcast expects more than 100,000 Comcast NBCUniversal volunteers to participate in more than 800 projects across the country and around the globe. To date, volunteers have contributed more than
4 million service hours to improve nearly 7,000 projects in the U.S. and around the world since Comcast Cares Day started in 2001.
"As we celebrate our 15th annual Comcast Cares Day, we are so proud to partner with the Ben Hill Recreation Center and Park in Atlanta to make a difference in our community," said Andy Macke, Vice President of External Affairs at Comcast. "It's truly amazing what's possible in a day, when volunteers donate their time to make a difference in the lives of others. I'm inspired by the community's response to Comcast Cares Day 2016, and I thank the participants who help to make this effort a success."
The Comcast Foundation will also provide grants to local community partner organizations across the country on behalf of everyone who volunteers on Comcast Cares Day. The grants will help Comcast's community partners continue their mission of serving the community throughout the year. To date, the Comcast Foundation has awarded more than $18 million in grants to local non-profit organizations who have partnered with us on Comcast Cares Day.
Additionally, this Comcast Cares Day the Company is folding in the broad support and amplification of two other Company partnerships: Global Citizen, who organize the annual music and advocacy-focused Global Citizen Festival curated by Coldplay's Chris Martin that has aired on MSNBC for the past few years, and Red Nose Day, a special television event with top musical and comedy performances that debuted on NBC last year. These initiatives aim to end extreme poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and tackle climate change globally and in the United States. By amplifying our support of these initiatives on Comcast Cares Day, Comcast NBCUniversal is providing additional ways to help drive positive change in our communities.
Comcast has been committed to serving local communities since our founding more than 50 years ago. For more information on Comcast NBCUniversal volunteer and community investment initiatives, visit www.comcast.com/community.

Muriel T. Fleming
Muriel T. Fleming, nee Titus, 93, of West Bend, passed away on Monday, Feb. 12, 2007, on the day that would have been her 69th wedding anniversary, at the Kathy Hospice in the town of Polk.
She was born on June 27, 1913 in Paterson, N.J., to the late Walter and Florence (nee Mills) Titus.

In 1999 Muriel moved from New Jersey to West Bend to live with her daughter, Bev and family. She spent many happy years in Wis-consin enjoying her family and the love that they gave her.
Muriel was the consummate lady and the world's best mother-in-law.
She enjoyed being outside in her garden, and she also enjoyed sewing, baking and was an incessant reader.
She was blessed with a gift of service and enjoyed sharing her gift through countless hours of volunteer work with the Women's Club of Wyckoff.
Muriel will also be remembered for her love of hot fudge sundaes and chocolate chip cookies.

(Vicki) Fleming of Lake Tomahawk, Bev (Don) Smith of West Bend and Jane (Dave) Hitchcoff of Montville, N.J.; eight grandchildren, Jamey and Lissy Fleming, Jason (Lindsay) Gould, Dan Smith, and Amy, Jeff, Michael and Alison Hitchcoff; and a sister, E.

Madonna: The Material Anglobitch
That this arrant propaganda should be so cheerfully received speaks volumes about Anglo-American culture. Far from being the 'rebel' she so often claims to be, Madonna merely enacts a heightened form of existing Anglo-American values.
Paradoxically, the mythopoietic entity Madonna projects has become a parody of the Anglo-American female outlook. This relates to the fact she is herself not Anglo-American at all. Her songs and self-presentation are turgid with Latin bombast. However, as part of her infiltration of the media she has craftily honed a heightened image of Anglobitch values with incisive appeal to Anglo-American females. Indeed, this imago has become a standard behavioural model for young Anglo-American girls, indicative of our culture's inevitable slide towards gynocracy.
The principal myth projected by Madonna is that Anglo women are intensely sexual beings. In fact, all credible research strongly indicates that Anglo-American women are the most sexually anaesthetised in the world. Yet the Anglo media continually bombards us with a stream of palpable nonsense claiming that women are as sexually preoccupied as men. In Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right (2002) Anne Coulter argues that this theme is a 'liberal myth' demonstrating liberal detachment from consensus reality.
While there is considerable truth in this, from the standpoint of the Anglobitch thesis the inane projection of Anglo females as hypersexual beings is all part of the Pedestal Syndrome. Because Anglo culture is puritanical and class-bound, sex is a scarce commodity. Anglo women as 'owners' of sex are thus imbued with an intrinsic status that explains their arrogance and hypocrisy. A major result of this is the deification of women on pedestals as paragons of virtue, intellect and ability. The tendency to inflate Anglo women's sexual prowess is part of this process. Indeed, by a process of conceptual inversion, the area where Anglo women are most lacking is the very area where their prowess is most absurdly exaggerated. Madonna's mythopoietic identity is calculated to maximally exploit this niche.
Material Girl is a term that describes most young Anglo-American females effectively. Of course, as in Madonna's chipper video, Anglo-American women think the world 'owes' them something as a perpetual favour for having been born female in a repressive culture. As Adam Smith wrote, value is determined by scarcity. Anglo women, as 'owners' of sex, therefore acquire a sense of existential entitlement that they utterly lack in libertine societies.
However, the Material Girl is also a specific Anglobitch type with particular values. Reared in the post-Madonna era, she grew up surrounded by cultural imagos extolling the virtues of female selfishness. Consequently, she is amongst the most unpleasant Anglobitch types known to observation. The Material Girl is not only especially selfish; she also reaps the benefits of years of 'emancipation'.
Contemporary Anglo-American teenaged girls are so insufferable because they are recipients of both enormous privilege and staggering advantage. The Material Girl resembles a lifestyle prostitute, for whom prostitution is not merely an aspect of life, but an all-pervasive lifestyle option. Since her whole status hinges on sexual barter for material reward, she is supremely mono-dimensional and utterly bereft of empathy.

As usual, a splendid article. Muzalon, my only quibble with the Anglobitch Thesis is that it is drawn too narrowly.ReplyDelete
These "Anglobitch" characteristics that you speak of can be readily explained by a combination of evolutionary psychology, modern capitalist industrialism, and the rise of modern courtship rituals and the heterosexual marketplace since the end of the late medieval period. These factors have influenced all Western societies and, to a certain extent, numerous Third World societies as well (through European colonization, settlement, etc). Because of this, all Western/Westernized women are cold, selfish, egotistical cunts in need of a good beating; however, amongst Western women, females of Protestant Anglo-Saxon origin are some of the worst cunts in existence. No Western woman is as nasty, rude, or ignorant as an Anglo-Saxon fuckface whore.
Although Anglobitches are some of the worst cunts in existence, Western females can be just as bad, if not worse. I'm thinking that a "Westernbitch Thesis" might be more appropriate in this instance.
Westernbitch Thesis... that's a profound one.ReplyDelete

Impressive. 40% renewable energy. I'd like to look into Iowa's process and reasons for this direction as well as their electoral preferences, and utilities, to understand why we here in Michigan have such a resistance to clean renewable energy.
MidAmerican Energy, Iowa's largest utility company, has announced its plan for 40% renewable energy by 2015. Compared to Michigan's goal for 10% renewables by 2015, Iowa has set a high standard, and forces Michigan policy makers to start thinking ahead. Iowa already receives about 25 percent of its electricity from renewable energy sources, mainly wind and solar power, much higher than Michigan's goal.
"By doing this, we're not only setting up our customers for the long term to have a strong supply of renewable energy, but we're able to do it in a very competitive manner," says President of MidAmerican Energy, William Fehrman.
Michigan Energy Michigan Jobs is encouraging policy makers to start taking action in the end phases of the current plan for 10 percent by 2015. Although an estimated $1.9 billion investment is needed to fund Iowa's new energy plan, it's expected to implement 656 wind turbines and create…

Panel: S.C. utilities' flat rates encourage electricity waste
South Carolina state regulators ruled Friday that the state's two biggest utilities must immediately close a popular billing option to new customers because the programs encourage households to waste electricity.
The ruling didn't go as far as the state's attorney general and other critics had wanted when they asked the commission to discontinue the billing programs.
The decision by the N.C. Utilities Commission exempts more than 175,000 North Carolina households who are already signed up for the programs — called "balanced billing" by Progress Energy and "fixed payment plan" by Duke Energy. The ruling lets the existing customers continue and also re-enroll for additional years when their annual contracts expire.
Nevertheless, the commission said its ruling spells a slow death for the billing programs, because the utilities won't be able to replace dropouts with fresh recruits. The utilities say few people drop out.

I woke up at 6:45 am and ate my English breakfast at 7.00 o'clock. It was 8 o'clock when all the group met at the usual meeting point, then we went to a bus station and took the bus for a very popular London tour and we saw all the monuments and Buckingham Palace. I was excited during this trip and my friends too. I was very impressed by Buckingham palace which is a massive castle like Versailles. The traffic in Londonwas not as important as in Paris. During the trip we sat on the second floor of a typical London bus where there was a strong wind. The weather was sunny and the temperature was 18 degrees. In the bus a woman gave us all the information about the monuments. At noon we sat along the Thames and ate our packed lunch.
Then we went on a boat and enjoyed a mini tour during half an hour. Next to Tower Bridge, there was a souvenirs shop but it was too expensive for me so I didn't buy anything. In the evening we all went back to our families'. I was so tired that after dinner I went to my bedroom and slept immediately.

Ashley is a young woman from Brighton, Majid is a young man from Iran – both carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders. They live in the same block of flats, and don't see eye to eye. Ashley is a tough talking vandal, who doesn't care for Asylum Seekers and has enough problems keeping her alcoholic mother happy. Majid has travelled across the world to seek refuge in the UK; trying to hold his family together by day and keeping watch for the immigration officers by night. Follow Ashley, Majid and the lives of their families, neighbours and friends as they are thrown together by a broken lift.
Ignite Youth Theatre
True Colours - By Aileen Ritchie
Glasgow based multi-cultural theatre group Ignite Youth Theatre, will be visiting Brighton in an exchange project with BandBazi Youth Circus Theatre to double bill with us at this unique event.

Didn't see anything on a search. The Cleveland zoo's rules state the following:
Concealed Carry Permit Holders: Pursuant to ORC Section 2923.126, weapons are NOT permitted in any of the buildings or on Cleveland Metroparks Zoo grounds, and there is no place to store weapons on Zoo grounds. It is recommended that weapons be lawfully stored in a locked compartment or locked container within vehicles.
I thought metro parks couldn't prohibit carry. I get the buildings thing but the grounds themselves?

In the past year, an effective but under-utilized search engine technique to bait other websites to link to you is to create infographics (short for information graphics). According to Wikipedia, "infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data, or knowledge". "These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly." An example of infographic is history of the food blender and combating global warming.
In exchange for the use of the infographic on a website, the creator requests a link back to their website. This can create an enormous boost in social medial signals generating tool and also Google PR. The only problem is infographics are very difficult to produce. It requires a great idea, strong research and fact gathering, great visualization and a decent graphic artist to create it.
There is a great DIY Infographic Process that's a great read for anyone wanting to create one. The graphic explains the process in detail but can be summarized in the following 6 steps:
1. Ideation - select an idea that will generate interest and research
2. Idea Selection - find and flesh out your idea
3. Research - fact gathering to support your idea
4. Conceptual Visualization - graphic direction
5. First Full Draft - self explanatory
6. Revisions - polish and revise as needed
