text: So I have been an unloader at UPS for 3 months and some change now, and I love this job. Unloading is super fun and I was really looking forward to my first peak season. However, about a month after I started I developed pain in my elbow, I know the injury is UPS related because i've had no history of joint pain until I started this job and don't do anything physically exerting aside from the unload(sunrise shift). When I first experienced pain I visited a doctor who recommended 5 days off and meloxicam(NSAID) to alleviate the pain but he advised me when I went back to work the issue would arise again and suggested to try lifting differently... but how on earth do you lift without using your forearms and moving your elbows?(anyway I digress). Afterwards I let my FT sup in on what was happening and he offered to move me to wallsweep on any given day thinking that would help if my arms got too bad. I appreciate how strict my sups are on safety becasue I am very concerned with my safety as are they in the unload. So as I religiously adhere to the 8's and 5's this pain in my elbow develops regardless. At first it was a nagging pain but now 2 months later it has developed into pain that hinders my performance(pph). Now I have a similar pain in my wrists which makes it hard to do simple things like steering my car, pushing doors open or lifting any packages over 30 pounds. So of course after struggling to finish my shift today I brought it to my sups attention again and he said he would have to talk to his boss and advised me to show up tomorow and i'm hoping I will have a chance to explain my situation to them then. My problem is I don't have health insurance, nor will I for some time and i'm not certain I can last that long. I know the timing could not be worse with peak and all that but the only thing more important to me than this job is my health. If I have to choose I will choose my health, I really don't want permanent joint or ligament damage by the time i'm 25(2 years from now). My own safety is not my only concern, with my grip strength the way it is, its possible I could drop an irreg on myself or my wallsweeps or coworkers or w/e and not be able to announce in time etc. 1. I love this job and its the best thing to ever happen to me and I don't want to lose it. 2. I don't want to leave my sups and co-unloaders to pick up my slack So i guess what i'm asking is, from all your experience with UPS, does anyone know how this might play out for me? Should I try to get through the unload tomorow if they ask me?(Since peak is around the corner I fear they will try to get me to work[yes, I understand how important attendance is during this time] despite my ligament weakness.) Will my bosses try to accommodate me and move me to another position? If not will they try to fire me on the spot assuming i'm a liability? Are there any moves i can make through my union steward to get in front of this?(Not familiar at all with the Union stuff as I haven't had the need to involve them yet.) --Thanks in advance for helpful responses-- P.S. I have experienced no pain otherwise in the unload except for what i've outlined in this post.

Projects require time, scope and cost estimates. Before you can start anything, you have to know what it will take.
Project estimations are a critical component to any project. It is a skill that all project managers need to acquire at some point in their careers. As any veteran project manager will tell you, taking time in the beginning to get it right will save you a lot of time and heartache of getting it wrong!
To make a proper estimate, you will need support from your project team. You can't possibly know everything. Rely on those who know more than you.
Here are three suggestions for preparing your project estimates effectively:
1. Parametric estimating
Parametric estimating is used to calculate both cost and time. It deterimes the project budget in terms of time and money. It works because budget and duration are linked and scalable. In fact, even if you have never heard of it, you probably already use it.
Assume it takes 30 minutes to bake a pie. In 4 hours I can make 8 pies. If I need to make 16 pies for a project team bake-off, then I'll need to set aside 8 hours. In this scenario, you need to determine the number of units required and how long it takes to do one, then multiply one by the number of units to identify the overall task duration.
The same applies for budgeting too. If one pie costs $4 to make, then my team can be fed 16 pies at a cost of $64, assuming that they all have the same ingredients.
2. Bottom up estimating
Bottom up estimating is based on breaking down a project into bite-sized pieces. It is best applied when you've got lots of input from team experts who identify the cost of each piece. Do the math by adding them up and you have your project estimate at the ready.
Subject matter experts are likely to have a great insight into how much time or money something will take to do, so use their expertise to prepare your estimates.
Although it can be time-consuming to gather exeveryone's input and estimates, it does minimize risk. It's easier to estimate the cost or duration of a small piece of work at the micro-level than to estimate at the macro-level.
Even if someone makes an error and gets their bit of the estimate wrong, it will only affect one task instead oft he entire project. Adding the appropriate contigency to the budget or schedule will ensure your estimate remains on point.
3. Analogous estimating
The final suggestion involves analogous estimates. This approach requires taking a blueprint from another project and overlaying it onto your new one.
It's helpful in particular if you and other experts have had experience in the area of work already. It is better to rely on the archives than on people's memories. So pull that historical data as the framework for your current project's estimate.
Rely on the PMO's records to determine how long tasks took or how much they cost and then validate that with your own professional judgement based on how close a match those tasks are with what you would like to attempt now. Cross-check with your team to be ensure you are including relevant data.
None of the above techniques is exceptionally difficult. Most likely, you have already used each oft hem at some point in your career without even knowing it.
Base your approach on the appropriate project. Because every project is different , select the estimating technique that matches your project, style and team preferences. You can even use a blend of techniques. Perhaps you will want to adhere to bottom up estimating for some, but not all, of your project tasks because it may be better to use analogous estimating for some of it as well.
A tailored blend of techniques will help you get the best, most accurate result, leading you to plan your project more effectively because of it.

It's been a long time since the conditions have been as ideal for investing in real estate in Kelowna as they are now. Prices and interest rates are low while rental rates and demand for good rental units remain high. If you've always thought of investing in residential real estate but you thought the time would never be "right" in Kelowna, now may be the time to start looking. You don't have to pack a bunch of illegal suites into a rental property or pack twice as many students into a house than the number of bedrooms just to make the numbers work on a property. If you're patient in choosing a property and "jump" when the right property comes along, it's becoming more common to find good rental properties with returns that more than cover the monthly costs. This creates an excellent long-term investment scenario; with an initial input of 20% and a tenant paying the mortgage payments and expenses, you will see your investment paid off in 25 years or sooner - not to mention increases in market prices over the period of time. With a careful property choice and some work to manage the property over the long run, and relatively small initial investment could have a big payoff in the long run. Call Grant Wiebe at 250-869-2279 to get your property search started.

recipe found on www.joythebaker.com
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flours, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, fit with a paddle attachment, beat together butter and sugars. Beat until well incorporated. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl. Add the egg. Beat on medium speed until mixture is glossy and fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Stop mixer and add the dry ingredients all at once. Mix on low speed until all of the flour is incorporated Stop mixer and finish incorporating ingredients with a spatula. Spoon batter out onto a sheet of waxed paper, and form loosely into a log. Roll and seal cookie dough and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Once chilled, divide dough in half and place one half on a lightly floured counter surface. Lightly flour a rolling pin and roll out dough to a 1/4-inch thickness. Use a heart shaped (or whatever) cookie cutter to cut out cookies and place dough on prepared baking sheet. Very lightly brush cookies with water and sprinkle with granulated or turbinado sugar.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Roll and cut cookies, re-rolling the dough once or twice, until all cookies are cut and baked.
Cookies will last, in an airtight container at room temperature, for up to five days.

text: My taste in bags (and my budget) has changed so much since I started out in the purse world. I sometimes think I should go through my collection and really weed some out so I can make room for new ones. There are a couple bags I have and truly love (my LVs, for starters), but the majority I just tolerate and that isn't how things should be. I have a lot of Coach, Fossil, Banana Republic bags from my early twenties... nothing wrong with them but I want better ones now, you know? Ones that would really make me happy. I'm thinking of just giving away or selling most of them and starting from scratch. Anyone else ever do this?

The reduction of material reception conditions is not possible under the law. Withdrawal is admissible under the law in cases of disappearance of the asylum seeker when the procedure is suspended.1 The SAR applies this in practice to persons returned under the Dublin Regulation.
Bulgaria does not apply sanctions for serious breaches of the rules of accommodation centres and violent behaviour, except for destruction of a reception centre's property, which is sanctioned with a fine between BGN 50 to 200 (€25.50-102) plus the value of the destroyed property.2 The grounds laid down in Article 20(2) and (3) of the Recast Reception Conditions Directive are not transposed into national legislation.
Under the law, the directors of transit / reception centres are competent to decide on accommodation.3 These decisions should be issued in writing as all other acts of administration.4 However, in practice asylum seekers are informed orally. Nonetheless, the refusal to provide accommodation still can be appealed before the relevant Regional Administrative Court within 7 days from its communication to the respective asylum seeker. Legal aid is available with respect to representation before the court once the appeal is submitted. In this case, however, asylum seekers face difficulties proving before the court when they have been informed about the accommodation refusal, which may result in cessation of the court proceedings.
Relating to subsequent applicants, see Criteria and Restrictions to Access Reception Conditions.

In a Cask of Amontillado, what is the irony?I need to know the irony of: his toast to the dead His pride in knowledge of good wine "May he rest in peace"
- print Print
- list Cite
Irony is one of Poe's many stylistic triumphs in his body of works. This story is no exception.
Your first example of Fortunato's toast to the dead is ironic because of the nature and tradition of toasts. People make toasts to celebrate happy occassions such as marriages, birthdays, graduations and promotions. They are made to give encouragement and to wish luck upon very living recipients. The dead do not have any use for luck or for encouragement. The only two living people there are Fortunato, who will soon be joining the dead, and Montressor, who will be killing him.
The second example is the pride of the knowledge Fortunato has of good wine. The rare cask draws him toward his death. It is his own pride in wanting to see this rare gem, or perhaps to prove Montressor wrong, that lures him to his doom. Pride is a classic tragic flaw which has caused the downfall of great men in literature and in life.
"May he rest in peace" are the words of Montressor as he is concluding his tale of revenge to an unknown audience. He shows no remorse at the cruel death he has inflicted upon Fortunato and utters these words knowing that Fortunato will NOT be resting in peace. In fact, he will be dying a very slow and frightening death cemented alive in the walls.
Some examples of irony in the story are Fortunato and Montressor's name, Montressor's coat of arms, and "I shall not die of a cough".

Eskdale is a tranquil valley, with a very small population. It is blessed with dramatic mountain scenery and utterly beautiful rivers and waterfalls. The valley has five good pubs and endless walking and cycling opportunities. The steam railway links the valley with the coast and maintains the links with the Roman past from the hill fort at Hardknott to the bathhouse at Ravenglass.

I don't dare call it cornbread. After all, it has molasses, brown sugar and applesauce in it for heaven's sake. But what it lacks in tradition, it makes up for in flavor. I've been messing around with lots of recipes using grits as a grain, and not as a finished dish. One of these recipes was made from whole cloth and is still being refined as we speak, but so far…so good. It's taken some tweaking to get the moisture levels and acid levels and leavening levels to work out just so, but I think I'm getting close to the final edition.
I've tried it with chowchow, as a breakfast bread with peach conserva, as a sopping vehicle for potlikker and on its own. Kitty likes it hot with added butter and my favorite has been just direct from the pan, still warm from the oven.
Here are a few pics of what I've been up to. If you want the recipe, send me an email and I'll send you the latest version for you to test.

Final chapter... I think. Unless the Tardis wishes to make an appearance. Perhaps an epilogue may make itself known. But for now, this is it. Hope you've enjoyed :)
Rose Tyler opened her eyes.
Shock, disbelief, hope… Agony.
Her eyes scrunched tight once more.
No more, please I can't bear it anymore. Enough.
Yet when she opened her eyes once more, she knew she'd finally lost it.
For before her very eyes was the walls of her room… On the TARDIS.
Impossible didn't begin to cover it.
She pinched herself and was rewarded with a sharp burning pain on her skin, yet the scene before her did not waver.
Well, when had that ever worked anyway?
Pulling herself to her feet, Rose glanced around the room she used to call home, before torchwood and the daleks and the cybermen and… Norway.
Before the 117 years she had spent 'living' in Pete's World.
Shaking her head to clear it of the fog of sadness that had become a familiar presence in her thoughts in the past century, she took a tentative step forwards hoping the movement wouldn't disturb her clearly wonderful delusion.
I really ought to give that imagination of mine more credit…
She had the sudden, rather ridiculous urge to laugh at the absurdity of it all. It felt so real.
Her giggle bounced around the cavernous space and she clapped her hand over her mouth.
Silence greeted her. Even the TARDIS was without her usual tingling hum as if she to was holding her breath.
Well, if this was truly her imagination, she wondered when her Doctor would make an appearance. Usually he was there waiting for her in these situations. Bit odd that really.
What if…?
No, not possible. Nope. No, no, no, absolutely not. No chance. Zilch, zip, nada.
She laughed again.
"Bad Wolf."
"Indubitably this is the 'Bad Wolf' scenario."
"The things you've seen… The darkness…The Big Bad Wolf!"
"The UN's decision, Mal Loup..."
"Bad Wolf One descending."
"And on BADWOLFTV..."
Schlechter Wolf
"Blaidd Drwg."
Bad Wolf Corporation.
"Two words, following us across the universe…"
"A message, to lead myself here… I am the Bad Wolf."
"I see something of the wolf in you… You burnt like the sun."
"Corrupted by a bad wolf virus…"
"Dårlig Ulv-Stranden, it means Bad Wolf Bay."
But that meant…
Suddenly, the song of the TARDIS filled her mind, it was like 'welcome back', I've missed you', and 'you're finally home' all rolled into one. Her heart swelled, filling her chest like a balloon.
She was here, on the TARDIS, and her Doctor was-
Standing in the doorway.
Just standing there. No 'Rose Tyler!' or 'nice to see you' or 'I've missed you' or even 'I lo-
Let's not go there again.
Suddenly feeling out of place and out of her depth, Rose gave a tentative smile. After all, she'd been gone a while. He was sure to have had other companions. Perhaps he'd moved on… Her heart constricted at the mere thought and yet he was still standing there in the doorway with that Look on his face. Whatever the Boe that particular Look was, Rose wasn't sure if it was good or bad.
"Hello Doctah. S'been a while, yeah?" He was still standing there, as if the words had to travel across the void to reach him. It was so strange to see him speechless. Perhaps more had changed than she thought.
Finally, he spoke. "Rose? Are you… I mean you're not…You're can't actually…But that's impossible." He shook his head and her heart sunk slightly.
"Someone once told me nothin's impossible, ain't that right Doctah?" She couldn't help the sad sense of irony. She finally made it back and he didn't believe it. What if didn't want to?
"But I tried! I did everything. There was nothing else! But you… You're… And I…" His hands were in his hair, which had been sticking up in so many different directions already that it no longer mattered what he did. He was the epitome of a mad scientist.
"Jus' can't seem to get rid of me?" Rose couldn't help but smile at his face, the face that had plagued her dreams for the past one hundred and seventeen years. She allowed herself to feel just how good it felt to be back in the right universe, on the TARDIS, with her Doctor.
Apparently, her smile was all the Doctor needed.
He was across the room in less than 2 strides, pulling Rose into his arms as if he were pulling her home. The hug was everything their hearts had waited for wrapped in arms and sighs.
Rose Tyler was no longer lost.

Alex Salmond is right to commit to a sterling zone, rather than rush ahead with a Scottish currency, writes Peter Jones
Impatience is understandable if you are a nationalist. You are itching to get your country out of the blight of London misrule, thirsting to get to work righting all sorts of wrongs, hungry to begin building the new and better nation. But the impatience some in the SNP are showing over what currency an independent Scotland should have is entirely mistaken.
Alex Salmond has set out the Scottish Government's commitment to a sterling union very clearly.
"An independent Scotland will keep the pound because, first and foremost, sterling is Scotland's currency every bit as much as it is that of England, Wales and Northern Ireland," he wrote in a Sunday newspaper.
The argument is a bit specious – suppose the SNP was in favour of Trident missiles and he had written: "An independent Scotland will keep nuclear weapons because, first and foremost, Trident submarines are Scotland's defences every bit as much as they are of England, Wales and Northern Ireland."
It doesn't take two seconds' thought about political command structures and nuclear non-proliferation treaties, to realise that doesn't work. And the argument doesn't work with the currency either. If you want to leave a political union, you must face the prospect of leaving everything that is part of the union and not just the nasty bits you don't like.
You can only hope to continue sharing the good stuff where it is also in the interest of the people to whom you are waving goodbye to carry on sharing those nice bits.
Here, the First Minister is on much more solid ground. A sterling area which encompassed Scotland would gain the benefit of not having to import the oil that the North Sea currently produces – worth about £40 billion on the positive side of the zone's balance sheet – plus the £8bn export earnings of Scottish oil equipment and service suppliers, and another £4bn from whisky distillers. Then there is cross-border trade – about £36bn of Scottish exports to the rest of the UK (rUK) in 2011 and about £49bn of rUK exports to Scotland. Why would an rUK government want to erect a trading barrier by refusing Scotland the use of sterling, imperilling those rUK exports, which are about a tenth of total UK exports?
So Scotland would have some good cards to play at the negotiating table. They are not ace cards that trump everything, but they are good ones. And if you think about it a little longer, intriguing questions start to arise. How would Mr Salmond react if a negotiating rUK government said: All right, we'll agree to a sterling zone, but only if you agree to keep the Trident subs where they are at Faslane?
The point, while it is getting ahead of things, illustrates the necessity of the Scottish Government having a fall-back position if the terms demanded by rUK for a sterling zone are unacceptable.
Which is where the argument for having a separate Scottish currency, pegged in value to sterling in the same way as the Danish krone is pegged to the euro, comes in. The other alternatives – unilateral use of sterling or joining the euro – are either economically or politically unacceptable.
Various old guard nationalists – former leader Gordon Wilson, ex-deputy leaders Jim Sillars and Jim Fairlie, and Dennis Canavan, chairman of the Yes campaign – have argued that having a Scottish currency should be Mr Salmond's first choice.
Their argument is relatively simple. A sterling zone would leave monetary policy in the hands of the Bank of England, which is geared to the economy of London and the south-east of England, and fiscal policy would also be under the thumb of the Treasury.
A Scottish currency, on the other hand, would mean tax and monetary powers would be in the hands of Scots. So there would be freedom, real independence and an immediate start to all that vital nation-building work.
Actually, no, there wouldn't. It is true that various non-aligned currency experts, such as DeAnne Julius, a founding member of the Bank of England's monetary policy committee, have written favourably about a Scottish currency, correctly divining that it "does not depend on uncertain negotiations and probably has the most emotional appeal to those inclined to vote for independence".
There are one-off transition costs, such as setting up a central bank, but as she, and indeed the Treasury in its currency paper, acknowledge, other countries have successfully done that in the past 20 years. There would also be transaction costs, adding perhaps between 1-2 per cent to cross-border trade flows and to currency purchases every time people crossed the Border. But this is not an insuperable onstacle.
The problem comes from Scots themselves, and from the financial markets. Since the majority of Scots are not nationalists and don't share the nationalist faith that everything under independence will be fine, they might fear that the Scottish currency will lose value relative to sterling and shift their bank accounts south of the Border.
So capital controls would have to be introduced to stop that, as indeed they were with every other example of a new currency in recent decades. The markets may have the same worry, forcing abandonment of the peg to sterling as they forced sterling out of the European exchange rate mechanism in 1992.
The only way to prevent these bad things would be to run very tight fiscal and monetary policies, with negligible public spending deficits. Tax and spending would have to be set to allow for surpluses in years when there were strong oil revenues, a problem since they are also needed to pay for current spending on things like teachers' salaries.
Mr Salmond, being a smart guy trained in economics, knows this. He also understands what other nationalists seem to refuse to accept – that independence is not an event, but a process. Under any currency choice, Scotland would start with extremely limited freedom and then over, say, two decades would gradually accrue more power to change things.
A sterling zone is the only option with the virtue of imposing few costs on the people being liberated and makes it more likely that those people will vote for independence. It would initially severely limit political freedoms, but surely, if you are a nationalist, the main point is to gain those political powers for future use, rather than to reduce the chances of getting them at all.

text: I can only hope for my working Colleagues that they will never have to carry unaccompanied children any more. It's harder on the families but with the problems caused by the kids, minimal, the parents, irresponsible at times but the company waffling on this issue and blaming the Conductors when things go wrong makes it impossible for us. Examples are: When parents buy full fare tickets and then get on with the kids and then get off again real fast and Conductor put 8 and 6 year old in custody of next station Agent, Conductor was told should have carried them anyway; Delaying trains while explaining policy with parents who don't have paperwork, management said should have carried them anyway; Child says parents called him and said to get off at a station before his destination or after it and Conductor took child passenger off at proper station, management said should have let the child go where he wanted just prove the right parent picks him up, did so next time this happened and train was . All of these and many other situations that are similar and worse and the company is afraid to back the Conductor who is slam with more important things than babysitting is why the children are at risk traveling unaccompanied. I'll bet it turns out the kids on Jet Blue switched their ID's just to see what would happen. Parents need to be in charge of their kids when traveling and the parent who moves away from the child needs to buy a Prius. At one point in my career I had to show two Asst. Superintendents and a Road Foremen a copy of the "Release" parents sign to prove the Conductor was responsible if the paperwork wasn't signed and "Release" was not fulfilled. FYI...CYA!!!

Cap Gemini Ernst & Young LLP has said that it will cut 2,700 jobs across its global operations due to an economic downturn and overlap issues arising from the merger between Cap Gemini and Ernst & Young's consultancy practice. Worldwide employment at Cap Gemini totals approximately 60,000.
Jobs will be cut in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Scandinavia, and across the firm's telecoms operations. In addition to the job cuts, another 700 employees are to be transferred as company divisions are overhauled.
The firm will absorb a $73 million restructuring charge to implement a cost-cutting plan that includes the staffing layoffs. It is expected that the restructuring will produce an increase in the operating profit margin for the second half of 2001. Shares in the consulting firm, which are listed on the Paris stock exchange, fell 21 percent with announcement of the cutbacks and an accompanying revised projection for a downturn in revenue.
Cap Gemini was formed in February, 2000 from the acquisition of Cap Gemini SA by Ernst & Young's consulting business.
The downturn in the technology and telecoms sector has resulted in delayed and cancelled orders for hardware and software sales and consulting services, particularly in the United States.

The SEC announced a modification to its filing review correspondence program on Dec. 1, 2011. Since a policy change in 2005, the SEC has been publicly releasing its correspondence, including comment letters and response letters, "no earlier than 45 days" after completion of the disclosure filing review process. The SEC will accelerate its release schedule to "no earlier than 20 business days" after review completion effective Jan. 1, 2012. The SEC's stated purpose is to enhance the transparency of the review process.
OUR TAKE: While reporting companies have become accustomed over the last six years to the availability on EDGAR of comment and response correspondence, this policy change means that the temporarily private exchange between the SEC staff and the reporting company will become available to the public more quickly than ever. Depending on the nature of comments and responses, this may have an impact on a company's public disclosures. And although not quite real-time, it will also give other issuers and the public generally quicker insight into staff positions on filing issues and the resolution of those issues.

I read that about the slow growth rates not responding as well and that is one of my questions if they recommend chemo. As far as the tumor size, mine was 2.4 cm so not sure that is why either. Most everything that I have read on the net to do with the size, age, growth rate and the little amount of information that I have dosesnt seem to indicate chemo...thats why Im so confused. Also I try to factor in that it was the surgeon who told me he thought they would do both and Im not sure treatment is his field of expertise here, but I still wonder.

ECED to deliver outstanding textbooks to Schools
Posted on Friday, 27 January 2017
Category: Latest News
The Eastern Cape Department of Education will accelerate the delivery of outstanding learner, teacher support material which is expected in various schools in the province. The department is aware of the delays that have occurred as a result of procurement processes which were concluded late in 2016.
As a result deliveries commenced on the second week of January thus affecting learning and teaching in some schools. The department has increased capacity in warehouses to ensure that sorting and packing happens much quicker than usual.
The operations in all our warehouses have been heightened to ensure that schools receive their textbooks as s oon as possible. The department has been delivering top up textbooks to schools which could not retrieve books from learners or where learner enrolment increased beyond what was projected last year.
We urge parents and learners to ensure that text books are returned at the end of the school year for the benefit of other learners. A textbook has a life span of 5 years and if all books were returned it would save the department millions which would be used in other priority areas.
The department has urged schools to report any shortages of textbooks to district offices. We will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that all deliveries take place.

It is good hear from your side that you will expedite the delivery of textbooks. I'm becoming concerned with the availability of "My children, My AFRICA", English drama book. I so wish to have it soon.

British Airways crew Christmas strikes suspended
Planned strikes by British Airways cabin crew on Christmas Day and Boxing Day have been suspended, said the union Unite.
Members of Unite were due to walk out over Christmas in a dispute over pay.
The union said workers employed in the so-called mixed crew - who have joined since 2010 - were on lower pay than other staff.
Lengthy talks at conciliation service Acas have led to a revised offer which will be put to a ballot of union members.
The union is recommending the renewed offer to its more than 2,700 mixed fleet members at BA.
Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: "Over the past four days, and indeed the past two years, this union has worked tirelessly to find a resolution to the issues causing our members concern.
"We now have a new offer from the company which we will now put to our members. The two-day strike over Christmas and Boxing Day is now suspended.
"It will be for our members now to decide if BA has done enough to meet their concerns.
"I want to pay tribute to our cabin crew members who have been determined to achieve a negotiated settlement.
"Their commitment to secure a better deal for all their colleagues is something we should all admire."
On Tuesday a planned 48-hour pay strike by baggage handlersand check-in staff at 18 airports across the UK, including including Belfast International and Belfast City, was been called off.
Members of Unite employed by Swissport were due to walk out from Friday, threatening disruption for families and other travellers leaving the UK for Christmas.
They voted for industrial action in protest at a 4.65% pay offer over three years.
The strike was called off following talks at the conciliation service Acas.
Meanwhile, a ban on overtime by drivers on Southern Railway continued to cause delays and cancellations to services, which are likely to continue over Christmas.
Members of Aslef went on strike for three days last week, which halted all Southern's services, and are due to stop work for a week from January 9 unless there is a breakthrough in their deadlocked dispute over driver-only trains.
Rail, Maritime and Transport union members on Southern ended their latest 48-hour stoppage at midnight and are set to strike for three days from New Year's Eve over changes to the role of conductors.
Pilots at Virgin Atlantic are due to start a "work to contract" from Friday in a dispute over union recognition.

What is it about apple juice that just gets a body feeling so happy, happy, satisfied?!
When I was a little girl, the old saying, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away", was probably old even then – yet the advice is good. And nowadays, there is study after study that corroborates that saying with scientific proof.
There are many, many benefits to juicing apples. Having that luscious, pulpy, cloudy liquid waiting for you in a cup (or jar) is anticipation at its best. First of all, there is the aroma – and then POW there is a taste that cannot be described. It is heavenly manna – and our picture here shows Amara with her cup of fresh apple juice. She LOVES fresh juice. She can even use ASL and ask us for her favorite juice when she wants it. Smart girl.
During allergy season, allergy inflammation flares up and can create asthma attacks. One son is an asthmatic. What to do?! I was relieved to find out that I had already been doing many things to keep his inflammation down, and I hadn't even known it. There is quercetin in apples, known to reduce allergy flare ups. Does it replace his inhaler? No, but it seems he needs it less when he's eating salads and drinking fresh juices.
My other son is allergic to just about every grass and tree on the planet. We give him quercetin and nettle. Believe me, we wouldn't get through allergy season without these wonderful supplements.
Fresh Apple Juice can be taken: Straight: in small sips, in large gulps; Mixed: in smoothies as the main base, in smoothies as the hint of tang; Frozen: in ice cubes as the cooler in lemonade, in popsicles (the varieties here are endless). Have fun with your Apple Juice – and have a healthy snack!

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I know that wcf does the serialization and dezerialization of request object before it comes to the service. Is there a way to get the xml format of the request message object in public functions of service.
Basically i have different name value collection pairs in the request object. I need to apply xslt to this xml to get the required output xml.
So the basic point is to get the xml message of request apply xslt and proceed further in the implementation part.
Any ideas?
You may get teh xml message content with someting like this:
public class CustomerService : IUniversalOneWay
#region IUniversalOneWay Members
public void ProcessMessage(Message msg)
Console.WriteLine("Message received...");
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
Console.WriteLine("Customer: {0} ({1})",
If your operation parameter is not of Message type, you can get the current message object from "OperationContext.Current.RequestContext.RequestMessage"
You can also find further info on WCF Serialization here:
Or some msg extensibility here:
Thanks for the info Hernan.
I saw the links sent by you. So i think i need to serialize the request object back after wcf has deserialized based on my requirement. correct me if i am wrong.
Also, can i know whether there is any performance impact if i serialize the object into xml apply an xslt and get the transformed xml. Otherwise i can look into getting the data from SQL data base or Sharepoint list instead of applying xslt.
When using XML serialization (even XmlDoc) you may get a perf hit (with transform as well). The best way to be sure about the scope of the perf impact is to actually test with
and without serialization or profiling the different parts of your serialization process.
On the other hand, using DB may also introduce some latency/perf degradation but that me be mitigated by connection and data caching (something similar may be applied to serialization).
So at the end, the best way to deal with perf decisions will be to perform the required tests and evaluate accordingly.

I got the news that Dan Wastler passed away yesterday, and I was immediately filled with regret…
Although I worked for Dan for almost 8 years at Q104, I never really got to know him very well. I hosted the crazy, carnival morning show on Q104, and he was the straight arrow, kept-at-arms-length general manager. We battled weekly, and celebrated daily.
Dan was always the first to congratulate me on great ratings, but also the first to call me on the carpet for whatever offense he or CBS deemed had crossed the line.
In fact, Dan ran the only station in the Midwest to install what CBS called a "dump button" for my show. A switch that could be thrown from Dan's office that could automatically delete the previous offensive seven seconds of my show, so it never would go live.
He used it once in 8 years and that was because of an offensive caller!
I admired Dan's ability to somehow stay above the fray, and maintain a professional attitude in any situation. I even admired Dan when he and CBS took me to court to side against me in a listener lawsuit involving a naked painter (more on that in future columns).
Dan was always somehow able to keep his sense of humor, as well…..even when, during our annual Q104 golf tournament, I supplied everyone playing with complimentary golf balls..,with Dan's picture on them.
Dan was one part Ted Baxter and one part Mr. Carlson from WKRP.
I played golf with Dan, laughed with him at parties and avoided him at work.
The last time I saw Dan was after his heart transplant was in the mens room of the Midland during the Jersey Boys show. He strode over, shook my hand and told me he felt great. I was genuinely glad to hear it.
Dan was the only radio guy I can remember that could fire you and still make you happy to see him!
My prayers go out to Dan's wonderful wife, Beverly and his great family that he loved so much.

The Good Acer's new attention to look-and-feel shows in the Aspire 7600's clean appearance and responsive touch input.
The Bad The Aspire misses on price vs. performance, and Dell's 2,560x1,440-pixel resolution XPS One 27 makes 1,920x1,080-pixel screens like this one feel pedestrian.
The Bottom Line Subpar computing components and a dominant high-end all-in-one from Dell hurt Acer's high-end, visually compelling Aspire 7600U.
|Acer Aspire 7600U
|Toshiba LX835-D3380
|Sony VAIO L All-In-One
|Samsung Series 7 All-in-one (Windows 8)
|Asus ET2300INTI all-in-one PC
Acer's high-end all-in-one can't justify its cost
Acer demonstrated a new focus on high-end PCs last month when it announced the Aspire S7 Windows 8 laptop and this $1,899 27-inch Aspire 7600U all-in-one desktop. Despite improving its typically bargain basement product aesthetics, at least for this all-in-one, Acer has not matched its price tag with correspondingly high-end components. You might make a case for the Aspire 7600U as a Windows 8-based vanity object, but Dell's updated XPS One 27 is a better all-in-one at this price.
Acer deserves some credit for the look of the Aspire 7600U. The system mostly has a clean and tidy appearance, with a familiar edge-to-edge display framed in glossy black plastic. The chromed plastic trim is clean enough, and the ports on the back sit neatly under a straight-lined overhang. Even the power cable received some attention, connecting directly into the chromed kickstand.
Running the power circuitry through the kickstand keeps the cable from cluttering the back of the system. The kickstand itself also deserves praise for its smooth, sturdy design. Anyone can recline the display back and forth along its 60-degree range of motion. I would always prefer that an all-in-one recline a full 90 degrees, but its easy adjustability makes it easier to accept the more limited travel.
Acer adds AMD Ryzen power to budget gaming desktops
New updates to the Aspire GX-281 mean better options for gamers on an entry to mid-level budget.
iMac 2017 and old iMacs compared: Needed updates, one bummer
Apple could have gone further on the consumer models, and the iMac Pro might go too far.
Next-generation gaming PCs put to the test
These new desktops all feature powerful new Nvidia GeForce 1080 graphics cards for unmatched gaming and VR performance.
Get a Lenovo C355 all-in-one PC for $349.99, shipped
That's $100 off the regular price of this nicely appointed 20-inch desktop. Plus: a $99 Chromebook!
Acer adds a low-cost all-in-one hardly bigger than a laptop
The $599 Acer Aspire ZC-605 has a 19-inch screen and an Intel Pentium CPU.
Acer's budget Z3 all-in-one comes to the U.S.
The 1080p 23-inch touch-screen Z3, which was first seen at Computex, will be $800.

The Village of Clontibret (Cluain Tiobrad)
The Wildlife and Heritage Centre is located in Clontibret, Co Monaghan.
Cluain Tiobrad meaning "Well of the meadow" is a charming townland made up of farms surrounded by winding roads, streams, bogland and woodland. It's a prime example of what is reffered to as 'Drumlin Country' which Monaghan is famous for.
With an extensive variety of habitats, Clontibret is rich in Wildlife and provides both walkers and nature lovers alike to get lost in it's charm.
It's also played it's part in Irish History, providing the setting for the famous Nine Years War, in the form of the Battle of Clontibret (1595).
The battle was fought between the crown forces of England's Queen Elizabeth I and the Irish army of Hugh O'Neill, 2nd Earl of Tyrone. It ended in victory for Tyrone, and was the first severe setback suffered by the English during the war.
The Wildlife & Heritage Centre is located on Listinny Hill, which is right in the heart of the famous route used throughout the battle (see map below). Visitors to the centre have enjoyed walking through the route of the battle.

Upgrading Bolt
This is the step-by-step process of upgrading Bolt, always make sure to backup your project before upgrading.
- Import the new package into your project (Importing the bolt.user.dll and project.bytes will overwrite your Bolt assets and settings. You may also want to uncheck the sample folder if you don't want the samples in your project.)
- Close Unity
- Start Unity
- Run "Assets/Bolt/Install"
- Run "Assets/Bolt/Compile Assembly"
Switching between Debug and Release builds
The processes described above also apply when you want to switch from DEBUG to RELEASE builds or vice versa.
If you encounter an issue when importing the version of Bolt you want, check the GUID of the Bolt.dll.meta file in each project. If they do not match you will lose all Bolt references.
Migrating Bolt Settings and Assets
Bolt saves all of its settings, states, commands, events, etc. in the
Assets/bolt/project.bytes file.
To migrate to a new project, simply copy this file to the same location in the new project. This is also useful if you need to share Bolt data with other team members.

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.
It can be really hard to motivate kids to clean their rooms and pick up their toys around the house. My 7-year-old would rather do anything else. Let's be honest, I feel the exact same way.
To turn a monotonous chore into a fun activity, I play her favorite music while we clean up. She loves to dance around the house and pick up her things. Until recently, I would play her favorite songs on a Bluetooth speaker. This wasn't exactly ideal. First, the sound quailty was not very clear. Secondly, we either had to take the speaker with us around the house or leave it on in another area.
When I heard about the Google Chromecast Audio, I couldn't think of a better way to stream music all over my house! Not only can I get an amazingly clear sound quality, but I can stream the music to multiple speakers all over my house. Thanks to the multi-room feature, you can fill every single room with synchronous music on multiple speakers!
Sometimes, you come across a product that you can no longer live without. The Google Chromecast Audio is one of those products. This revolutionary gadget allows you to bring your home into the modern era of Wi-Fi connectivity.
It is really easy to set up. You simply plug the device into your speaker. Next, you can use your device to stream your music to the speaker.
When you open the box, you will find a charger and the speaker input.
Can you imagine being able to stream music to speakers over Wi-Fi? Take your favorite music on your phone, laptop or tablet and play it on any speaker. I love this product. I appreciate that it can bring old speakers useful again. It makes me look at something like a portable speaker in an entirely new way.
If you've ever tried to stream music over Bluetooth, you know that it isn't exactly the best quality. Thanks to Chromecast Audio, you can enjoy high resolution sound that is completely clear!

* Top 6 utilities to raise coal use by 24 pct in 2013/2014
* Oil, LNG use to drop slightly, displaced by rise in coal
* 3 out of 5 analysts expect more nuclear restarts by end 2013
By Osamu Tsukimori and Florence Tan
TOKYO/SINGAPORE, March 28 (Reuters) - Japan is boosting its use of cheaper coal at the expense of oil and LNG to counter a jump in energy import costs that are rising because of a weak yen and with little prospect of a near-term return of nuclear power after the Fukushima crisis in 2011.
New Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's policies aimed at raising exports have weakened the yen, making energy imports priced in dollars more expensive. At the same time, the nuclear industry enters a third year of near total shutdown, meaning Japan needs the lowest cost option to cap a trade deficit.
"Coal remains the cheapest fuel to burn in Japan given the high prices of oil and LNG," said Amrita Sen, chief oil analyst at London-based consultancy Energy Aspects.
Strong Japanese demand during seasonal peaks of summer and winter have helped oil and LNG prices to spike in the past two years, but the world's fifth-largest energy consumer may catch a break this year due to ample coal supply - which may mean leading suppliers Australia and Indonesia cannot necessarily expect a price boost from the extra demand.
The Newcastle spot coal index, a benchmark for Asia, has eased to about $90 a tonne from around $100 a year ago, and in the 1-1/2 years prior, prices ranged from $100 to more than $136 a tonne.
Though demand from Japan, the fourth-largest user of coal in 2011, may help to support Asian coal markets, coal stocks are still high and higher imports may not come straight away, said Sen.
Japan's top six utilities expect to raise coal consumption by 24 percent in the fiscal year starting April 1 from calendar year 2012, with two new coal-fired power units expected to reduce the need for imports of expensive liquefied natural gas (LNG) and oil.
Warmer weather may also result in a bump in coal and fuel demand, with Japan's meteorological agency expecting higher temperatures than average from April to June, and mostly normal to hotter-than-average temperatures this summer. Electricity use usually increases during warm weather to power air conditioners.
Greater use of dirty coal, however, risks raising carbon emissions from the fifth-biggest greenhouse gas emitter as it puts a hold on environmental goals to revive its economy.
"Japan is already very aware of environmental concerns and is investing in renewables, both solar and wind, although the effects don't come through till 2015," Sen said.
Coal will make up just over a fifth of the top six utilities' fossil fuel mix in 2013-2014, up from a 16.3 percent share in 2012, Reuters calculations based on trade ministry and industry data showed. Data for fiscal 2012-2013 is not yet available.
LNG's share of the mix will fall from 62.7 percent to just below 60 percent. Crude and fuel oil will slip from 21 percent to 19.4 percent.
Even with falling imports from the more expensive fossil fuels, energy costs won't necessarily fall if the yen continues to weaken, and that should keep interest in coal strong.
In January, Japan's volume of crude oil imports fell 4.7 percent from a year earlier but the value rose 5.9 percent, and that was while average benchmark Brent crude prices in the month were only 0.8 percent higher than a year earlier.
The drive to use more coal comes as Japan did not renew its commitment to emissions cuts for the Kyoto protocol's second round that started this year, instead saying it would decide on a new reduction target for 2020 by November.
The bulk of the coal demand increase will come from two coal-fired power units built by Tokyo Electric Power Co that have a combined capacity of 1,600 megawatts in northern Japan, where the nuclear crisis took place two years ago. The two new units are scheduled to start trial operations in April in Fukushima and Ibaraki prefectures.
Japan's second-biggest thermal coal user after J-Power , Chubu Electric Power Co, will keep its demand steady in 2013-2014.
Total fossil fuel consumption is forecast to drop 2.9 percent in the next fiscal year from 2012 as the six utilities expect 11 nuclear reactors to restart.
That could be an overly optimistic view, according to analysts. Japan's two operating reactors - out of a total of 50 - are due for maintenance in September and tough new safety checks still may make it difficult to bring units online.
Of five analysts polled, three expect a couple of the idled nuclear reactors to restart by end of this year in line with the government's push, despite public opposition.
HSBC economist Izumi Devalier said as many as 10 reactors could be restarted by the end of 2014, which would save around 500 billion yen ($5.31 billion) in fuel costs and reduce pressure on the current account.
"Public opinion is divided on the nuclear revival," Devalier said in a March 6 note. "But with a weak yen pushing up the import bill, energy-starved Japan might not have a choice."

"None of the furtive shabby manoeuvres of a younger son. I have sold my soul or you have sold it"
by Katharine
According to the British laws of primogeniture, all the father's property would be inherited by the oldest son. Younger sons could not depend upon inheritance, and had to earn their own living or marry well.
Rochester refers to the Faust legend – Faust sold his soul to the devil for knowledge. Christopher Marlow's Doctor Faustus and Goethe's Faust are reworkings of this legend.

God Doesn't Need You, but He Wants You
By Shane Pruitt
Edited by Cooper Taylor
Every single one of us carries a bit of a savior complex in us, and we all love the idea that someone else needs us. Often, we long for the moments where the "bat signal" goes up and we can swoop in with our cape on to save the day. There are even times, where I believe that I'm so awesome, that the Creator of the universe needs my help to accomplish His will! I like the idea of thinking that God somehow needs me.
The problem with believing this, of course, is that a "need" implies a lack of something. So, if God were to need me, then that means that He must lack something in some way. And by definition, if God is lacking in anything, then He is not God.
So what about the character of God demonstrates that He needs nothing, and is self-sufficient in every way? In particular, here are four characteristics of God that demonstrate why He needs and requires nothing outside of Himself:
- Omnipotence: God is all-powerful. There is nothing that He can't do on His own. "But Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."–Matthew 19:26
- Omniscience: God is all-knowing. There is nothing that anyone can teach Him. "…for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and He knows everything."–1 John 3:20
- Omnipresence: God is all-present. God is everywhere, so He doesn't need anyone to go anywhere. "Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your presence? If I ascend to heaven, You are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there!"–Psalm 139:7 –8
- Omni-benevolent: God is all-loving. He doesn't need a relationship with us. We have the perfect example of a complete unified relationship in the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit; a complete relationship within Himself. "Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love."–1 John 4:8
However, the truth is that even though God doesn't need anything in all the world, He still wants me.
The Gospel is proof-positive that He wants me. He paid the highest price for me. He gave His absolute best to purchase me. Not because I'm awesome or worthy of his redemption, but because of His amazing grace.
Many, many people feel they are of no value, or that they're some kind of cosmic accident. I've heard far too many stories shared with me by people who felt useless or unwanted. For example, after speaking at a camp, a 17-year-old boy shared with me that his mom told him that she had considered aborting him, and that she wished she would have gone through with it. Or, consider the 13-year-old girl who told me about the time her father described her as "nothing more than an accident in the back seat of a car."It is a perfectly human reaction to take these kinds of things and feel useless, purposeless, and unwanted.
However, Scripture paints a different picture for us: "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God" – Galatians 4:4-7.
What a beautiful reminder of the truth that God wants me! He wants us so badly that He was willing to go to any length to redeem us. According to these verses, redemption means that I was once a slave. In fact, I was a slave to sin. There was a ransom or price tag on my head that had to be paid in order to set me free. The price tag was death. Jesus paid that price for my ransom to grant me freedom by dying on the cross, and the resurrection was my receipt that the payment was accepted. I have been set free by the blood of Jesus, and there is nothing more valuable than that. That fact alone places extreme value on my life! Because of Jesus, I am worth something!
But this good news doesn't stop there. Not only did God pay the ransom to set me free from slavery. . .He went one step further by also giving me a family to come home to. God could have granted me my freedom, then said, "Good luck out there"! But, no! He adopted me and made me His son, He brought me into His family forever. He chose me long before I ever chose Him! He loves me! He wants me!
I am not needed by God. But the glorious truth is that I am wanted by God, and growing to understand the depth of what that means is one of the greatest needs of my life.
