Recipe: The Easiest Asparagus
For Thanksgiving, one of the sides that I made that was a hit with the family was a Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus. It was so delicious and honestly super simple to make -- here's the recipe so you can try it yourself!
Garlic Parmesan Roasted Asparagus
You Will Need:
- 1 lb. of asparagus
- Olive oil
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1/3 cup of parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A 13X9 baking pan
- A garlic press (if you don't have one you can buy minced garlic at the store or you can mince the garlic cloves yourself)
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees
- Wash the asparagus thoroughly. Cut about an inch off the ends of the asparagus, then using a vegetable peeler, peel the bottom of the stalks, which will make it more tender.
- Spread out the asparagus into a 13X9 baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil, crush the garlic on top, then sprinkle with the parmesan cheese. Make sure to spread all over the asparagus so you coat it evenly with each ingredient.
- Bake in the oven at 425 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Enjoy!
One of the great things about this recipe is how easy it is and how adaptable -- you can use grated parmesan or shaved parmesan, you can use pressed or minced garlic, you can squeeze some lemon on top for a little extra kick, or you can even sprinkle some breadcrumbs on top to add a little crunch! In the end it'll taste yummy regardless!

There are numerous books and articles written about relationships because most relationships need help in one way or another. Not a one can be considered perfect. Don't get me wrong,I can't say that I have the perfect relationship, but being in bad ones has taught me what works and what doesn't. All couples go through rough patches and all couples fight but here are a few tips that may help make your relationship healthier and happier.
1. The number one thing that builds a strong relationship is trust, and trust stems from honesty. Everyone has their little secrets, and that OK, but don't lie about the big things. Here is a simple rule to follow: I you are some where, with someone, talking about something that may cause problems if your partner was in the room, perhaps it's not a great idea.
2. Pick your battles, not every little thing is worth fighting over. There will always be something that bothers you about your partner but nit-picking can lead to fights. There is a reason we have the saying "Don't seat the small stuff"
3. Communication is so important. We get so busy in our own lives that we forget to take the time to talk. Even a simple "How was your day?" can brighten a mood and let your partner know that you care.
4. Pick a night every few weeks and go out with your partner, without the kids. Alone time gives you the chance to reconnect, gives you time to talk without the kids screaming or the t.v blaring in the back ground. Maintaining a health relationship takes work and time, it needs to be fed in order to grow and flourish.
5. Take time apart as well. It's OK to spend a weekend away from each other every now and again, it gives you time to miss and be missed.
6. Show affection. I'm not talking about graphic public displays of affection but sometimes just a comforting hand on a shoulder can be enough. Everybody wants to know they are loved and even though you might not be into all the touchy feeley stuff you would be surprised at how much you can say with a single touch.
7. Say thank-you, and say it often. Saying thank-you lets your partner know you appreciate him/her. It could be for a job you have asked them to do, or just for being your support on a bad day.
Every relationship is unique, with different obstacles to overcome and different personalities, the key is not to compare yours with anyone else. Even though these tips may be just a guideline, all relationships have one thing in common, all require time and effort in order to grow.

Dental Bridge Procedure in Lincoln, Nebraska
You're probably wondering, "What is a dental bridge?" This is an important question to ask, as dental bridges are one of the most commonly used dental techniques in modern dentistry. If you have missing teeth, it's likely you may need a bridge.
At Preserve Family Dentistry, we want to make sure you're comfortable and confident going into any procedure. That's why we've made it a primary goal to open discussion with every patient. We've found that an easy solution for nervous and anxious patients is to talk openly about the procedure and any concerns. We also have a handful of other options to help you feel comfortable. You can find these below. But first, you may still be asking yourself: What is a dental bridge?
What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a permanent set of crowns that bridges the gap made by a missing tooth or teeth. Using abutment teeth, or the teeth around the gap, a bridge stands fixed over the spot where a person's teeth once were. These abutment teeth hold the bridge in place. Dentists will place dental crowns over the bridge, so they'll appear like real teeth although they aren't. The pontic tooth, or the fake tooth, replaces any teeth that used to be there. Further, it will look real and blend in color and shade with a person's other teeth.
Some worry about dental bridges looking unnatural before getting them. However, the false tooth rests near the gums, so it won't appear to be floating or look fake in any way. Dr. Kathryn Alderman, our lead dentist, typically recommends a three-unit bridge, rather than larger alternatives. Bridges that span multiple teeth tend to put a lot of pressure on the supporting teeth. This often causes trauma and damage to the surrounding teeth.
What Is a Dental Bridge Procedure Like?
Similar to a dental crown, a dental bridge usually takes two appointments. At the first appointment, Dr. Alderman will give you a local anesthetic to make you numb and comfortable. Then, she'll take an impression of your mouth. Using this mold, our office will make a temporary bridge for you. Then, Dr. Alderman will prepare your surrounding teeth for dental crowns. She'll need to remove a small amount of tooth structure to ensure a perfect fit for the crowns. After this, they'll take a final impression, which our dental lab will use to make a permanent bridge. The temporary bridge will be complete before you finish your appointment. We'll place your temporary, and you'll keep it on until your second appointment. Finally, Dr. Alderman will put on your permanent bridge at the second appointment, and you'll be all done!
What Is a Dental Bridge vs. an Implant-Retained Bridge?
An implant-retained bridge is a little different than a traditional bridge. An implant-retained bridge is held in place by a small dental implant instead of surrounding teeth. The implant looks like a small screw. An oral surgeon can secure this screw into your jawbone to hold up the bridge. The bone will heal around the implant over the course of a few months. After that, Dr. Alderman will place a crown on top of the implant.
If you have more than missing tooth, all in the same area, an implant-retained bridge is often a better option. It'll usually be more affordable than replacing each tooth with a single implant. In the case of three missing teeth beside each other, the surgeon can place two implants instead of all three. These implants hold a false tooth in the middle instead of utilizing three different implants. As your implants heal, you can usually elect to have a temporary denture of sorts. Most patients choose this option, as it allows them to continue smiling brightly without gaps in their teeth.
What Is The Cost of a Dental Bridge?
At this point, you're probably wondering about the cost of a dental bridge. A traditional three-unit bridge usually costs about $800 per crown. It will usually cost a little bit more if the tooth still needs to be removed. Extraction can vary but on average costs about $200. For an implant-retained bridge, it will usually cost about $1200 per implant on top of the cost of the crowns.
If you're concerned about affording a dental bridge, don't worry. We know that it can sometimes be hard to pay for dental treatment. Unfortunately, dental insurance rarely covers the whole cost of a dental procedure. That's why we have our own payment plans in case you need work done and can't pay for it all at once.

We have all heard stories of mysterious phone calls and e-mails begging for personal information or help. It is important to know which calls to avoid and which e-mails to delete and report immediately to ensure the privacy and protection of your personal information.
1. Suspicious e-mails from friends requesting money
This is a method increasingly used by Internet scammers, especially since some people do not think twice before sending help to their "friends stuck in foreign countries." Make sure to call your friend about this so they can contact their providers and make their other friends aware of the scam.
2. Unofficial calls from the federal government or the bank
Someone may call posing as the IRS or a bank teller, requesting your personal information. If you receive a call like this, contact your bank immediately and do not share any of your information with unauthorized individuals.
3. Unusual Pop-Up windows on your computer
Recently, a number of well-known software providers have had scams with pop-ups on their users' computers, suggesting a virus or problem that needs to be fixed immediately. Do not click on these pop-ups or call the number indicated. If someone was to reach you on the phone about this problem, do not give any information to them.
4. Wiring money to Facebook "friends"
It is possible for scammers to pose as a user's friend on Facebook, making a fake profile using the name and photo of that person. Do not agree to pay anyone through this medium. In recent cases, a fake user generated over $1 million by offering fake grants to users in different states.
5. "You're a Winner" e-mails and calls
This is another popular form of scamming. If you receive e-mails or calls suggesting that you have won a sweepstakes or a free vacation, do not speak with the individuals or e-mail back any personal information. Report e-mails as spam, and block the caller from calling back again.
Stick to falling into leaves, instead of falling for these common schemes.

Common carp are an invasive species and are prevalent in Upper Prior Lake and previously in Spring Lake (prior to a very successful seine in 2017 where roughly 70% of the population (17 tons) was removed). Carp can live over sixty years and grow to a length of more than 3 feet! They mature when they are 2-3 years old at which time they are roughly 1 foot in length.
Carp adversely impact water quality by uprooting aquatic plants, stirring up sediments from the lake bottom, and releasing harmful phosphorus, which can lead to algae blooms as well as reduced water clarity. Studies estimate the carp population in Upper Prior is approximately 3.5 times higher than the management level (recommended ecological threshold value for carp is 100 kg/ha).
After the successful seine of Spring Lake, the current carp biomass was calculated at 84.9 (±27.3) kg/ha, which is below the ecological threshold value of 100 kg/ha. Based on electrofishing by the Watershed District, the estimated carp population for Upper Prior is 342.45 kg/ha carp biomass and the estimate for Lower Prior is 9.72 kg/ha carp biomass.
Several important methods are underway to control carp including barriers, physical removal and biological control.
In 2016, the Watershed District began a Passive Integrate Transponder (PIT) tagging project that helped track carp movement. The small, coded wire PIT tags have been implanted in approximately 300 carp. PIT tags allow the District to track carp at all times of day and varying size/age of fish as they travel into or out of specific areas where receivers have been placed. The tags have also allowed the District to identify key areas carp enter during spawning season. The District now installs seasonal barriers in these areas to prevent carp congregation for spawning.
Adult Carp Removal with Seine Nets:
The PIT tagging project has helped to identify carp favorite hangouts during ideal seining seasons. The District anticipates that it will have one or two seine events in Upper Prior Lake over the next year in an effort to remove a significant portion of the population. This should help provide some significant water quality improvements in Upper Prior Lake.
Biological Control:
Young carp survive poorly in lakes that have abundant bluegill population. In fact, the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center (MAISRC) has identified that bluegills can control carp populations by consuming carp eggs and larvae, and thus limiting survival of offspring. The University of Minnesota is conducting studies on the relationship between bluegill and carp in hopes of determining appropriate bluegill stocking levels as an ongoing potential carp management tool.
Carp Management is a multi-level and multi-organizational effort. The Watershed District hopes to successfully seine carp during the winter months. Barriers will be in place during spawning season and, ongoing research will provide us with data regarding the appropriate levels of bluegills for ongoing efforts of keeping carp levels well managed. Data from water quality monitoring of a nearby wetland area shows that the water going into this body is cleaner than the water going out during carp spawning season. The Prior Lake Association will continue to provide the community with updates on this massive effort as well as others that are implemented with the goal of improving the quality and clarity of our waters.

On the FREE Shoplifting Prevention Webinar recording, you will learn:
Dear Friend,
The emergence of Organized Retail Crime into the world of shoplifting has introduced a completely new dynamic into the question of shoplifting prevention.
Traditionally, shoplifting was committed by individuals seeking survival, personal gain, or support of their habits.
Today, shoplifting is mostly carried out by Organized Retail Crime gangs.
Organized Retail Crime gangs are well-organized, professional thieves who exhibit a level of sophistication never before witnessed in the retail industry.
A BBC report on Organized Retail Crime gangs aired on 11 January 2010 (Crime gangs 'dominate shop theft') illustrates just how lethal Organized Retail Crime gangs can be.
They are capable of stealing up to £7,500 ($11,200) worth of merchandise from your store within four minutes and almost £100,000 ($150,000) worth of merchandise daily.
Imagine what will happen to your business if Organized Retail Crime gangs decided to target your store.

What Our Trainee Say
Retailers pay £397.00 ($597.00) to attend this shoplifting prevention workshop.
Furthermore, our daily consulting fee to dispense this information I am offering you for FREE is £250,000 ($3,759.00).
I am doing this because the current shoplifting prevention regime in the retail industry is flaw.
As a result of this flaw approach to shoplifting prevention, many retailers are suffering unnecessary losses.
The majority of retail loss prevention/asset protection managers are ex-service personnel who bring the law enforcement approach to a problem that has little to do with criminality.
Shoplifting is a crime of opportunity, when you remove the opportunity, you remove the possibility.
At the Shoplifting Prevention Webinar, I will show you how to remove the opportunities that are causing shoplifters to have a field day in your store.
What Our Trainee Say
I promise you, it is not one of those sales pitch webinar, where they invite you for free webinar only to bombard you with sales message throughout the session.
I have had such unpleasant experience, therefore, do not wish to inflict the same on anyone.
The 'Shoplifting Prevention' webinar contains valuable practical information you can immediately implement in your store to reduce shoplifting from your store by 84%.

What Our Trainee Say
At the end of the webinar you will be able to:
Retail shrinkage has always been perceived as shoplifting or employee theft.
As a result of this perception, the approach to loss prevention in many retail organisations is focused on catching customers or employees suspected of theft.
Consequently, the majority of loss prevention training heavily lean towards providing participants with the skills required to recognise and catch thefts.
The Business Education Center understands that retail shrinkage goes way beyond theft.
We are aware of the fact that retail shrinkage is caused by process & systemic failure, opportunity and human factor.
Therefore, we are the only training organisation in Europe that has designed a loss prevention training programme to encompass all of those challenges.
Our trainers have been on the frontline of retail loss prevention for many years, therefore all the case studies and examples provided during the training session are based upon practical experience.
Romeo Richards' first-hand experience within the retail industry and extensive knowledge of working in the security industry for many years, enabled him to develop the concept upon which the training modules are based.
Romeo has worked with Marks & Spencer, Tesco and Brantano.
Romeo's extensive knowledge of the Theory of Constraint (TOC) adds a new dimension to the presentation of retail loss prevention.
Romeo holds a Masters Degree in International Relations.
He has written 23 books, numerous articles, whitepapers and best practices on retail loss prevention, store design, visual merchandising display and how to increase retail sales.

Apart from her successful career, the personal life of Lucy Punch also has been searched widely by people around the world. Lucy Punch boyfriend list is a short one as she has only been in one serious, known relationship up to date. Lucy was dating actor James Darcy on 2002. The couple fell in love and was together in a relationship for five years up until 2007. After this they split up due to several issues and have not re-kindled their relationship. Apart from being with James, the affairs of Lucy Punch have not been known. She seems to be focusing more on improving her already successful career rather than dwelling upon the details of her personal life. She seems to be happy working as an actress in several television and film roles and does not seem to need a boyfriend now.
Lucy Punch has not been dating anyone since 2007 and even if she has, she has managed to do a pretty good job of hiding the details regarding it. Fans of this pretty beauty with a huge net worth can only hope that more details about her and her boyfriend and affair becomes available as time comes.

The Groove Music app in my Windows 10 PC automatically picks them up and gets them all organized for you.
They also nicely show up in Groove Music app on my iPhone as well.
Let's take look if they are working on my Nexus 7 tablet. Sure it does.
And of course, if you don't have these devices handy and are only on a computer that has a web browser. Well, in that case, you can enjoy your music with Groove Music web app too.
Heck, it even works on Xbox Music app on Windows 8.1 computer or Windows Phone 8.1.
And what's even better, you can get all these for free. Now if you are still using iTunes for your music sync after seeing this, you are so web 1.0 just like iTunes.
I am officially moving away from iTunes to warmly embrace Groove Music and OneDrive.

But, since A ∩ B ⊆ A for all A and B, it is sufficient to prove that A ⊆ A ∩ B. So, if x ∈ A, it follows from (i) that x ∈ B and therefore x ∈ A ∩ B. Hence, A ⊆ A ∩ B. 38 SET THEORY To prove that (ii) implies (iii), let's assume that A ∩ B = A holds. Then, A ∪ B = (A ∩ B) ∪ B = (A ∪ B) ∩ (B ∪ B) = (A ∪ B) ∩ B = B Finally, to prove that (iii) implies (i), we assume that A ∪ B = B holds. Then, since A ⊆ A ∪ B for all A and B, it follows that A ⊆ B. 29 Determine (A ∩ B) ∪ (Ac ∩ Cc ) Solution If A = [0, 1), then Ac = (−∞, 0) ∪ [1, ∞).
19 A set of all natural numbers N is infinite. 20 A set of all integers Z is infinite. ◾ We will discuss the intricacies of infinite sets in a little while. 10 We say that two sets A and B are equivalent (or equinumerous) or that they have the same cardinality, and we write A∼B iff |A| = |B| Following Cantor, we say that cardinal number of a set A is what A has in common with all sets equivalent to A. 21 Given sets A = {1, 2, 3}, B = {a, b, c}, and C = {b, c, a}, we say that A ∼ B, and A ∼ C, but only B = C.
3 (ii). 3 (i). 8 (i) We need to prove that for every x if x ∈ (A ∩ B)c then x ∈ Ac ∪ Bc Suppose x ∈ (A ∩ B)c . By the definition of complement, x ∉ A ∩ B. But this implies that x ∉ A or x ∉ B. Saying that x ∉ A means that x ∈ Ac . Similarly, if x ∉ B, then x ∈ Bc . Hence, x ∈ Ac or x ∈ Bc and by the definition of union this implies that x ∈ Ac ∪ Bc So, we have proved that (A ∩ B)c ⊆ Ac ∪ Bc (*) Let's now consider the converse, that is, let's show that for every x if x ∈ Ac ∪ Bc then x ∈ (A ∩ B)c Suppose that ∈ Ac ∪ Bc .

India has delayed a ban on certain BlackBerry services for 60 days while it studies mechanisms proposed by the handset maker Research In Motion (RIM) enabling "lawful access" to encrypted data.
The ban on the instant messaging and corporate email services was to start today. Last-minute talks between RIM and government officials, reported by Business Traveller yesterday (see news), helped avert the move.
The government issued a statement early this morning (Hongkong time) saying: "The Home Ministry will review the security issue relating to Blackberry services within 60 days, by which time the Department of Telecommunications will submit its report."
It mentioned that RIM made "certain proposals for lawful access by law enforcement agencies and these would be operationalised immediately".
Indian authorities, along with others the Middle East and Asia, believe that BlackBerry's secure services are a threat to national security as data is encrypted and transmitted via overseas servers that cannot be decoded or intercepted.

Webcomic Good, if not somewhat Preachy
Let me establish that I'm a cisgender, heterosexual male, so I'm going to try and talk about this as just a webcomic, and nothing else.
Now as a whole, this comic is quite good. Its greatest strength is its characters, and chances are, any reader of any orientation or identity can find a character to relate to in someway. All the characters are memorable, and have their own distinct personalities. Some of them might be a tad cut out at times, but even so, they're still good. The artwork isn't the greatest, but its by no means bad, and it does convey plenty of emotion.
The story is rather basic, its just Rain going about her life as a transgender woman, dealing with the issues as they come. Nothing really spectacular, but its, in many respects, sort of a slice of life story. There are no exaggerated storylines or conflicts, and its fairly grounded in reality. The writing is also good, if not occasionally a tad cliched, but that's a minor note, and isn't really an issue.
Now this may be a personal hang up but, in all honesty, I think the story can be preachy. Almost every chapter, there is a long monologue, you'd almost swear the characters wrote and rehearsed about the issue's the LGBT community faces. Now don't get me wrong, I understand they face too many issues other's don't, but we don't need to be reminded every single chapter. Another personal issue I have with it, is that at times (and I don't think the author is doing this on purpose), the LGBT characters, who make up most of the cast, can seem slightly infallible. Rain only occasionally makes mistakes, and things often to seem to go her way, even issues not related to her being transgender. Gavin, the only main character who is not LGBT, generally gets the short end of the stick, with the story often showing deference to the wishes of other characters. That's not to say it always happens, just more often than not. And while the main characters are good, the side characters are okay at best, they're often Innocent Bigot, but the series treats that the same as regular bigotry.
Now this part isn't a problem so much as an observation, but since this story is released by page, occasionally it will cut off at an awkward scenario, and you can almost hear the Seinfeld music playing.
Alright, but with all that said, this series is good, and I do recommend it.

These are the wonderful people who serve at Promise 23 Ranch Ministries.
Jennifer – Founder, Board Member, Session Leader
Having grown up with horses, I have always known the amazing animal God created them to be. As an early teen, I made some bad choices and spent a couple years trying to ruin my life. During that time, horses were the only thing that kept me coming home and kept me grounded to reality. Horses don't judge, they don't tell you how to live your life, they are powerful enough to take your breath away, and gentle enough to capture your tears in their manes. There is no creature quite like the horse, God made them special.
When I was 16 I became a Christian, which drastically changed the course of my life. Around 18, I began professionally training horses and spent the next 10+ years training and instructing. But I often felt God had more planned for me than making money with horses or winning ribbons. I began to pray for God's will for my life. What would He do with the lifetime of knowledge I had accumulated?
In 2013, He began to reveal His plan for me to start a horse ministry and get the horses to the people who need them most. Shortly after, doors began opening and Promise 23 Ranch Ministries was formed. God has brought together an amazing team of women to serve in this ministry and I am honored to be ministering beside them. I am also deeply blessed to walk with the Engedi ladies in their courageous path to freedom and a new life in Christ.
Mary Beth – Board Member, Financial Guru, Session Leader
I have been a lifelong equestrienne, going on my first solo ride (at a full gallop) at the age of three. Growing up I spent many hours on my pony sharing all my joys and sorrows. As an adult I realized my dream of owning and operating a boarding stable for many years. I became a Christian at age 13.
When Jennifer told me of her dream to launch a ministry using horses, I thought "I can help with that!" And so it began. That was a in 2013, and since then I have become more and more involved and God has ignited a passion in me to share His love in this very meaningful way.
Vanessa – Board Member, Session Leader, Prayer Covering Team Coordinator, Webmaster
I grew up as a missionary kid in Hong Kong, and met Jesus for myself around age 6. In traveling across much of Asia, encountering great wealth and extreme poverty (most of the time within the same square mile), I learned that people are hurting and broken everywhere. I've seen that in the face of the most intense oppression and most unjust situations, the love, grace, forgiveness, and acceptance of Christ breaks down every wall and releases every chain that binds.
I've always loved furry-four-legged-creatures. I've experienced for myself how animals provide a safe place to engage in a healing process – they never expected me to perform for them but allowed me to just "be", and offered love and acceptance in return. I started taking riding lessons and joined the Hong Kong Pony Club in middle school. Horses brought joy and developed strength and confidence like nothing else did.
After 10 years in the marketplace where I taught English, music, and horse riding (not all at once!), managed a boarding farm, worked in tech support/customer service, marketing, project management, I moved into full time ministry as worship director at Light of the World Prayer Center. We've been praying for the ending of human trafficking in our area for 5 years and specifically pray for the ladies at Engedi Refuge. When I met the team at Promise 23 Ranch Ministries, I saw a dream of my heart realized. It's a complete joy and privilege to support and serve with Promise 23.
Rochelle – Session Leader
I am a student. I am forever in awe of the mysteries of love and grace that our Jesus Christ has for us. A student of the mysteries of the horse and his ways, a student of the broken hearted and the compassion that heals, a student of relationships and the power that lies within them.
I'm Rochelle, wife of one wonderful man and mother of four beautiful children. In a nutshell, my life has revolved around living a faith filled life while I tackle the blessed opportunities of homeschooling our kids and teaching the beauty of the horse either in one form or another while in the classroom or in the barn. I am humbled by the opportunity to hold the sacred space of human (broken) heart with the equine (restored) heart and watching the healing unfold between them. For God is Power, and he works through those who seek him.
Allie – Event Coordinator
I have grown up in a Christian home and accepted Christ at a very young age; I have always been involved at my church, but struggled to find an area that I was truly passionate about. I also grew up around horses, and started riding around the age of 4. Horses have always been my go-to for relaxation and as a way to get out into nature and reconnect with God. I have seen them help so many people through some of life's toughest moments, especially in my own life, and fully believe that God created them in a special and unique way. So when Jennifer approached me about working on the ministry team, I was ecstatic and completely on board. Promise 23 is a true answer to prayer for me. I cannot wait to see how God continues to use this ministry and where He takes us next!
Jodi – Session Leader
Jodi is the newest addition to the Promise 23 team, and we are so excited to have her on board!
"I never imagined that I would some day be involved with this ministry. Our children are grown and I've been asking God what's next. He kept putting people in front of me that told me about this ministry and when a friend told me about Promise 23 Ranch Ministries and I found out I could help survivors of trafficking with horses… how could I not follow His lead of using my passion (horses) in ministry?! Excited to see where he leads me!"
Psalm 31:3 (NIV)
"Since you are my rock and my fortress, for the sake of your name lead and guide me."
Prayer Covering Team
Prayer covering is absolutely crucial to the ministry at Promise 23. This team has committed to covering and supporting Promise 23 in prayer. A special thanks to our intercessors who faithfully pray for us! Please contact us if you'd like to commit to praying regularly for the team and participants at Promise 23.

- Push-out Score suggests push-out forces
- After almost 15 years in the position
- Accolades, praise, thanks and words of regret for Federici
- Search for a successor
- Federici spoke at length and said 79 words
(exechange) — Exton, Pennsylvania, March 2, 2018 — Bill Federici, finance chief of West Pharmaceutical, leaves. As announced by West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. in a news release and in a regulatory filing published on Friday, March 2, 2018, William J. (Bill) Federici leaves his post as Chief Financial Officer at the pharmaceutical company after almost 15 years in the position, effective later this year.
It is the end of an era.
Among the 3,000 largest publicly held companies incorporated in the U.S. based on market capitalization, the average tenure of the CFOs who departed over the past 12 months was 6.1 years, according to data compiled by exechange. Only 22 percent of the CFOs who departed over the past 12 months left the position after more than 10 years.
West Pharmaceutical will undertake a search for a successor.
"It is the right time to begin this important chapter for my family and me"
Federici's departure from the CFO post is explained as follows. Federici said: "With our company in a strong financial position and well-poised for future growth, and with the close of the 2017 reporting season, it is the right time to begin this important chapter for my family and me."
The phrase "it is the right time to begin this important chapter for my family and me" opens the door to speculation.
Precise information about Federici's future plans was not immediately available.
West Pharmaceutical said: "William Federici, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, has communicated his intention to retire later this year."
West Pharmaceutical further said: "On March 2, 2018, William J. Federici, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer & Treasurer, announced his intention to retire later this year."
Chaired by Patrick J. Zenner
West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. is chaired by Patrick J. Zenner.
Zenner was elected Chairman of the Board effective July 1, 2015.
In the position of CFO since 2003
William J. Federici serves as the Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of West Pharmaceutical Services Inc. since August 2003 and has been its Treasurer since January 2017.
Federici joined West in 2003 and currently serves as Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Additionally, he serves as a member of the Board of Directors serving as Audit Committee Chair for Zynerba Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and is a member of the Board of Directors of the American Oncologic Hospital and Affiliates including the Fox Chase Cancer Center.
Federici holds a BA in Economics and an MBA in Professional Accounting from Rutgers University.
As a general rule, when a top manager announces to step down with no successor available, it is a signal that the move was unexpected and too early.
Push-out Score suggests push-out forces
It is not completely certain what forces eventually triggered Bill Federici's move.
The Push-out Score™ determined by exechange suggests that push-out forces may have contributed to the change.
Read the full story in the exechange report 10.2018 ($).

Although 6 hours might seem excessive this will result in soft, tender, pull-apart pork! You wont be able to carve this – it'll fall to pieces. I once did this in a closed BBQ – it left it with a lovely smokey flavour, but its quite tricky keeping it burning for that length of time, even more so at a low temperature!
6hr Roast Pork
- 2kg shoulder of pork, skin on, bone in
- salt and pepper
- 2 onions, halved
- 2 carrots, peeled and halved lengthways
- 2 sticks of celery, halved
- 1 bulb of garlic, unpeeled broken into cloves
- 6-8 fresh bay leaves
- 350 ml (about 3/4 of a pint) of water or vegetable stock
- 250 ml (about 1 cup) of wine
- Preheat your oven to 220°C/425°F/gas 7.
- Get a small sharp knife and make scores about a centimetre apart through the skin into the fat, but not so you cut into the meat. Rub all over with a generous amount of salt – getting it right into the cracks.
- Brush any excess salt off the surface then turn it over. Season the underneath with a little salt and pepper.
- Place the pork, skin side-up, in a roasting tray and pop in the preheated oven. Roast for 30 minutes.
- Next point, turn the heat down to 170°C/325 F/gas3, cover the pork with a double layer of tin foil, and roast for a further 4 and a half hours.
- Take out of the oven, take the foil off, and baste the meat with the fat in the bottom of the tray. Carefully lift the pork up and transfer to a chopping board.
- Spoon all but a couple of tablespoons of fat out. Add all the veg, garlic and bay leaves to the tray and stir them into the fat. Place the pork back on top of everything and return to the oven without the foil to roast for another hour.
- Move the meat to a serving dish, cover again with tin foil and leave to rest while you make the gravy.
- Spoon out as much fat as possible. Then add the water or stock, and the wine and place the tray on the hob. Bring to the boil and simmer for a few minutes, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to scrape up all the bits on the bottom of the tray.
- Pour it through a sieve into a bowl or gravy boat, using a spoon to push the veg through the sieve (or blitz in a blender / mixer and then strain through a sieve). Add a little more salt and pepper if it needs it.

Unfortunately, a lot of these people are wrong, and their family suffers as a result. The following article will assist you in getting the best life insurance for your needs. You will garner much peace of mind by planning in advance to cover your family's needs in the event of tragedy.
Figure out the amount of life insurance you will need, then purchase that amount. If you buy too much insurance, it can be costly, and if you buy too little insurance, it could leave you in dire straights if something happens. You will have peace of mind once you have make the right decisions concerning your life insurance needs.
Compare prices from different companies when buying life insurance. The price differences between companies can vary widely, as much as 50%. Check the coverage prices online at comparison websites as well as the insurance companies' official sites. You should only compare quotes that take in consideration your previous medical history.
Work on improving your lifestyle and health before subscribing to a policy. The cost for life insurance coverage can be somewhat steep. When your health is compromised or you have made poor life choices, the costs can increase even more. Get in shape before you start shopping for a policy. Adopt a healthier diet, and shed some of your excess weight. Do whatever you have to. Doing so can substantially decrease your insurance costs.
If you have a hobby or occupation that may be thought of as high risk, you need to let the insurance company know about this. While it may cost you more in premium cost, it's better than having a claim declined by the insurance company. If you do decide to withhold this information, it could be considered fraud and thus, you will subject to stiff penalties.
Get a policy from a large company with a great reputation. If the company providing your life insurance is not large and reputable, you will not have the security of knowing they will pay if there is a loss.
When you are looking for life insurance, get a few quotes. Each company rates its customers based on many factors, assigning different weights to each. If you smoke, you should take special note of the variation in quoted premiums, and do what you can to find the best deal by consulting with several agents.
Decide how you'd like to buy a policy. You may do it through your work employer or by yourself. Other options include consulting a fee-only financial advisor, obtaining a policy from a commission-based financial consultant, or buying it directly from an insurance agent.
For more personalized service, consider meeting with an independent broker instead of someone at a larger firm. The reason is because an independent broker will usually have the ability to provide you with lots of different products from lots of different firms, but a specific firm will only have the ability to provide you with their particular products. Because life insurance results in a long-term commitment, be sure to compare prices before coming to a final decision.
Clearly, it's a good idea to pre-plan when purchasing insurance, even in situations in which it seems unnecessary. By reading this article and applying its advice, you could prevent your family from suffering possible hardships.

7 Are Creative People Different? There is a widespread cultural notion that creative people are, well, odd. Studies of the traits ascribed to creative people by conventional wisdom, according to the research of Mihaly Czikszentmihali, includes being impulsive, nonconformist, making up the rules as he or she goes along, liking to be alone, and tending not to know their own limitations. " This misperception that creative people are lacking in basic character values in fact has nothing to do with their creativity and may be as true for people who choose to be less creative as well.
He says that horror movies and divisive social trends predominate during bear markets, while upbeat movies and new social gathering places correspond to bull markets. Preschter is convinced that there is a general "knowledge" that we can learn by being attuned to the popular culture that helps to determine stock market swings. This theory is very similar to the theory of Carl Jung, who believed that there is a collective unconscious surrounding and enveloping us and that everyone can tap into it.
Eventually, with practice, we will learn how to spot the differences and know when and if the signals we receive are actually in our best interest.

Think little in size, big on style – that's how you design the best espresso cups. We did just that with our Iconic Porcelain Espresso Cup set, which we've created to be just the right size for your favourite Dolce Gusto® espresso pods.
The addition of a splash of deep purple, which brings together the cup and saucer, gives the finishing touch – a pop of colour that makes your drink look as good as you know it tastes.
These espresso cups stand out while effortlessly blending in to the style of your kitchen. Modern but not too loud, and made of white porcelain, we think these are just right for the style of your Dolce Gusto® espresso moments. As the cups come in a pair, they're great for sharing a drink with friends, or for when an unexpected guest pop around. They're happy in the microwave and dishwasher, so they're practical too – while still showing off your coffee at its best.
These fantastic little cups look great in the kitchen stacked next to the Iconic Porcelain Lungo and Iconic Porcelain Cappuccino sets, so if you're a fan of great-looking, stylish coffee, they might be just the things to add to your Dolce Gusto® collection.

MANY PROFESSIONALS, even seasoned professionals, struggle to negotiate a promotion. And this is the case even when they know that they deserve it!
A 2016 PayScale survey of 31,000 people found that only 43 percent of respondents had ever asked for a raise. Those who hadn't cited reasons such as discomfort with negotiating and fear of seeming pushy. These are obstacles everyone needs to overcome. The labor market is strong, with the lowest unemployment rates in 18 years, so now is a great time to ask for a promotion.
A previous article discussed five steps you can take to put yourself in line for a promotion. This article reviews how to ask for the promotion, from scheduling the meeting to preparing and closing your presentation.
[Read: How Do Promotions Work?]
How to ask for a promotion:
Show that you're a leader.
Schedule a meeting with your boss.
Prepare for the meeting.
Be confident.
Respond well to constructive criticism.
Clarify next steps.
Show that you're a leader.
Before scheduling a meeting for a promotion, show that you are a leader. You may have a strong work ethic and get along well with everyone on your team, but that isn't enough to get a promotion. Superiors look for people who show leadership potential to advance them within an organization.
Ask yourself if you are truly being a leader in your current position. Are you being your best self on a regular basis and demonstrating leadership strengths consistently? It's not about perfection every single day, but we all know if we're stepping up to the plate or not. Bottom line: You know your potential. Are you living up to it?
Consider whether you need to do more of the following:
Motivate your fellow co-workers or employees.
Take a greater leadership role in meetings.
Offer suggestions to improve processes in your department.
Demonstrate that you are able to manage conflict, handle change and deal with difficult employees.
Take stock in the new year. Are there times when you're doing the bare minimum rather than going the extra mile? Make a commitment to evaluate each week what worked, what didn't and what you could have done differently to improve your leadership potential.
You can also make an effort to sharpen your soft skills. Identify the top three soft skills that you think you need to work on and create an annual goal and plan to develop them. Track your performance on an accomplishments document.
[Read: How to Negotiate Your Salary and Succeed.]
Schedule a meeting with your boss.
When you are ready to talk with your boss about a promotion, let him or her know you would like to schedule a meeting. Make sure that he or she isn't overwhelmed with other tasks. Let your boss know that you would like to talk about your performance and the possibility of a promotion.
However, don't go into details at this point. Give your boss time to prepare so he or she won't feel ambushed.
Prepare for the meeting.
To prepare for the meeting, you should do the following four things:
Update your resume and print a copy to give to your boss.
Review your accomplishments document and choose the key points you want to review during your meeting. Make sure to show measurable results with each point to prove your value and your ability to assume additional responsibilities.
Research the market value and average salary for the position you are asking for on sites like Salary.com and PayScale.com. Take into account your experience and location. Include your suggestion for your new salary within your presentation. Provide a range of between $2,000 and $5,000 to give the company wiggle room. Be prepared to ask for other perks you may want to have, such as flex time or the ability to work remotely, in case the company will not meet your desired salary.
Prepare a presentation for the meeting. This could be a PowerPoint or a "brag book," which is a bound document you prepare to showcase special tasks and projects you completed over the past two years, new skills you have acquired, kudos from customers and rewards you have received. The idea is to present your manager with tangible, measurable results you can review together to validate why you should get a promotion.
Be confident.
During the meeting, be confident. Your attitude affects your actions, which affects the overall outcome. If you think that you don't deserve a promotion, or that the organization you work at won't give you a promotion, this will prevent you from asking for a raise with confidence.
Your body language communicates a lot. For example, do you stand up straight or do you tend to slouch? Do you cross your arms most of the time while talking or do you keep them at your sides? Do you make eye contact easily or do you tend to stare at the floor? The key is to practice your body language so that you indicate by your actions that you are open and confident.
[See: How to Change Careers Successfully.]
Respond well to constructive criticism.
While you are meeting, invite your boss to be open with you about your chances for a promotion. When you talk to your boss about advancing, ask for constructive criticism about areas where you should improve or skills you should enhance.
When asking for constructive criticism, it's important to handle it well. If you seem to respond poorly to feedback, either by defending your actions, blaming someone else or dismissing comments, this will not help your case for a promotion. Take the feedback well, and be sure to implement improvements over time.
Clarify next steps.
After you have made your case for a promotion and an increase in salary, close the loop. No matter what the end result of your meeting is, make sure that the next steps are clear. Do you need to schedule a follow-up meeting to track your progress in a few months? Do you need to fill out an application? Do you need to have an interview with someone else in the organization for an open position you are interested in? Don't leave the meeting without being clear on what needs to happen next.

As a day of teaching ends, the preparation for the next begins. It's the circle of teaching.
With all this prep, marking, reporting and planning to do, it's important to maintain a work-life balance – but what does that mean exactly? Teacher burnout is a commonly used phrase in the education world which doesn't really have a proper definition, it's subjective from person to person. One person may be exhausted physically, another may feel unmotivated. While it's great to love your job, it's important to realise that you need to give as much as you take.
Here are a few ways to prevent teacher burnout:
Identify what matters to you the most; family, work, friends, health, interests and hobbies. This is a great exercise to look at the bigger picture about what you're focusing your time on. Do you want to make sure you have a healthy dinner tonight and prepare a decent lunch for tomorrow? The solution is simple: head home on time and get cooking! If you've been feeling lethargic during the day, why not set your alarm earlier and head to the gym or for an early morning run? Are you missing your friends because you're 'always busy'? Set a date for dinner and stick to it!
'Me time' is so important – this is the time you can really zone out, forget what's going on at work or in your social life and focus on yourself. Take a long bath, read a book, meditate, watch your favourite movie. You've got to give back to yourself for giving so much each day to your students!
Understanding your body and mind's' reaction to stress is one of the key factors to minimising it. Do you sweat when you're stressed? Do you tend to give up when you're stressed? Do you take it out on your colleagues, friends or family? Identify, decide, action and maintain – what is in your control and what's not? If you're really feeling it, tackle your work in digestible bits.
Being positive can be tough when you're stressed, but by taking small steps to allow yourself more of a work-life balance, you'll start to understand how important it is. Having a positive attitude is half the battle! If you look on the bright side, have a 'glass half full' mentality towards your problems, you'll be much more open to solving them.
Remember – you're not alone! Friends and relatives are a phone call away, join teacher support groups on Facebook, read forums. It'll become apparent that you're not the only one feeling stressed. Speak to the management in your school, or your peers. Sometimes, the best remedy is a good old moan!

The Five-Step Therapeutic Process
Soil preparation for your psychological garden.
Without question, the most effective form of therapy is behavior therapy. If we can change our behavior with consistency, then we will be able to, at least theoretically, overcome any sort of neurosis if not psychosis.
Behavior therapy of course changes our behavior. And since the mind-body dichotomy is as unscientific as phrenology, it eventually changes our thoughts and emotions too.
Paradoxically, however, the least effective way to get people to change their behavior is by getting them to change their behavior. Likewise, the worst way to change our thoughts and emotions, in the long-term, is to replace our thoughts and emotions with more "helpful" thoughts and more "positive" emotions.
This is the instruction method brought to prominence by the CBT conflagration that is ruining psychology. The satire of this sterilization of the field reached its zenith during an infomercial for Brad Goodman's self-help program in which Troy McClure tells the viewer to "be confident, stupid."
If this sort of therapy worked then there would be no point of psychology. After all, psychology exists because we cannot bring ourselves to do what we want to do. If we could make ourselves change every behavior through conscious will alone, then psychology would simply be philosophy.
As we prepare soil for a garden, proper therapy involves the submission of the patient to a process through which the cherry tomato of consistent behavior change emerges. We may still need to focus and discipline ourselves to some degree, but this conscientiousness only influences our actions about five percent in the moment, and only when the soil of our psychology is fertile. Whenever someone is able to discipline themselves and focus their effort over a long period of time, it's only because they have accidentally submitted themselves to the therapeutic process. This is mostly accomplished through healthy family, good relationship with mom and dad, and community support.
So to get the golden egg of consistent, intentioned, abiding behavior, it's helpful to start with the therapeutic process.
1. Education
The first step is to learn how we work—specifically, to learn about emotions, how they work, and what they're telling us. This is fortunate for me because you, the prospective patient, will not get this education anywhere else. And it's fortunate for you because Providence has, for whatever reason, brought you to my site so you can get an education about psychology.
Without proper education, then the next four steps will be, at best, unhelpful. What could awareness possibly mean if we're not even sure what to be aware of? It's why cognitive behavioral therapy can only focus on fixing thoughts and behaviors—these therapists simply don't have the right knowledge.
2. Awareness
To become aware, psychologically, is to first see how our emotions manifest outside of our control. When we're undisciplined, we no longer see it as a problem with discipline in itself, rather as a problem with anxiety.
When we're apathetic we understand it's not a problem with the apathy but the low-grade anxiety that causes the apathy.
When we have trouble sleeping, we know it's not a sleep problem so much as a symptom of avoided emotions that arise as our consciousness rests.
When we feel like a victim, we no longer chastise ourselves for being a victim; rather we investigate our maladaptive relationship with anxiety that causes us to feel like a victim.
When we feel jealous, we no longer decry the jealousy as irrational; rather we look at our relationship with anger and what needs we can get met in a mature way.
3. Accept
The word acceptance has been co-opted by the fat crowd and their social-constructivist ilk to use it as an excuse from the difficulty of change. Hence we have atrocities like fat people who now believe their disorder is only a problem because society has a problem with it.
Here, I use "acceptance" only as part of the process of change but it's not the end result.
(Acceptance, furthermore, requires us to accept that which we cannot control, on a metaphysical level. Another's life, for instance, isn't ultimately in our control so if we're trying to change someone else, "acceptance" can be a useful word to consider—preferably as we develop our identity, which would make it more likely for us to focus on our own life instead of someone else's.)
If we're lost in obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, we may want to shoot right up to confidence by thinking confident thoughts, but this isn't how our psychology works in the long-term. It's a fact of our nature that anxiety has a deeper cause we must address if we're truly going to transform OCD into capability.
4. Process emotions
This step comprises talk, meditation, listening, and elucidation, preferably with another person or people and their faces right in front of us. And it's important to talk about emotions while taking responsibility for them and not seeking consolation.
We've perhaps learned it's not masculine for men to talk about their emotions. But this is only because talking about emotions has been conflated with indulging emotions and seeking solace for them.
However, if we talk about emotions while taking responsibility for them with the intention of making it more okay for other guys to do the same, then it comes off as uber masculine. Think Mickey Rourke doing anything.
A refrain I hear is "I don't feel like talking," or "I don't think this is going to work." This goes back to awareness and acceptance in that it's your anxiety coming up with objections because you're afraid of emotions. It's okay, simply admit it and talk for the hell of it. Then listen and identify when someone is talking with you. If this is lame then, oh well, psychology is lame I suppose Stallone movies are lame too.
The goal of processing our psychological issues is psychic objectivity. This means we can see other people seeing us. We bring the awareness of others to our inner lives.
5. Act
Once we've completed steps one through four, then we have at least a chance of acting with consistency and intention. If we feel like we're falling off the wagon and regressing and we don't want to keep taking the actions that we know will master our psychology, it doesn't help to keep beating our head against the wall. The "grit" approach may work for push-ups and algebra problems, but it doesn't work—not for long, at least—when it comes to emotion. And if we do develop motivation, it's only going to come, again, from accepting psychology for what it is and using it to our advantage.
Instead of willpower, take a deep breath and go back through steps one through four.
We go back to education and remind ourselves the truth of our psychology and how it works. We look at the direction of the arrows on the map of emotion and don't try to insert new arrows. We become honest when confronting the omnipotence of our inner lives.
We become aware of how emotions manifest outside of our control and conscious awareness. We accept it without self-criticism. If we are self-critical, then we recognize it as an anxiety and work on that. We talk and write and meditate, even when it feels stupid to do so because we know by doing so we become ever more acclimated to the stress of emotions, which makes it much more likely for us to act with consistency and intention.
The pilot hole
Ever try to drill a screw into a wall, especially mortar? It's difficult if not impossible. Sure, the goal of the project is to drill a screw in the wall, but we cannot simply focus on getting the screw in the wall since it's neither the nature of the screw nor the wall.
Instead, we drill a pilot hole. Though it takes more time in the short-term and we may need more tools, it saves us time eventually. This pilot hole is steps one through four of the therapeutic process.
Though, based on our level of neurosis, and the amount of issues we have stowed away in our unconscious, the pilot hole of our psychology keeps closing up. If we cannot get the screw through, we don't drill harder. Instead, we go back to previous steps, and without referencing the obvious sexual symbolism here, we loosen the hole a little more to make it easier to get the job done.
