I know exactly where that park is. It's right down the street from the house where I grew up! We used to play in that pond when way back when it was just in an undeveloped field. It was surrounded by huge trees. How funny!

Raquel, I absolutely love these shots. They are so beautiful. Tulips are my favorite flowers and I love them in the background. These photos have such a soft, glowing feel. Amazing work. And cute family, too. That little Gabriel needs to be in commercials, he's so cute.

What a darling family! You are lucky to have such cool people related to you.
But I must confess I've checked your blog like once an hour hoping it would be MY cute family at the top. No pressure and I know you probably have a zillion shoots before that one, but I knew you'd find it funny that I keep checking and checking and checking....!

ay ay ay!!!!!!! They look so great Raquel! I love these pictures, that Gabby is a handful and you can tell even in still pictures! He's precious. What park is this? Ray & Jessica look awesome. You are such a great photographer Raquel!

Students frequently ask me how to prepare for current affairs for exams such as Bank PO, SSC, UPSC, IBPS Exams, Railways, Interviews and other competitive examinations.
Current Affairs preparation is very important for competitive exams. Particularly in exams such as Bank PO, SBI PO, Insurance exams, the current affairs questions are being asked frequently. In SSC and UPSC exams also current affairs are an integral part of the General Awareness paper however in SSC and UPSC number of current affairs questions are less.
Current affairs are also very important for your interviews as in interviews questions are asked frequently on current affairs.
Therefore it is obvious that preparation of current affairs is very important if you are preparing for competitive exams. The best way to prepare for the current affairs is the regular reading of the news paper and noting down the important points.
One should also read the monthly magazines such as Competition Success Review, Pratiyogita Darpan, Banking Services Chronicle etc.
I am also preparing point to remember series for my students in which I am providing point wise questions for competitive exams. You can download these questions month wise in PDF also. I have also given links for the same at the end of the post. You can download the same from the given links.
Quite often students ask that how many months current affairs should be prepared for competitive exams. There is no set norms however based on the experience it can be safely said that current affairs of the last six months before the date of the exams should be prepared.
In competitive exams such as Bank Probationary Officer in-depth preparation is required. Apart from knowing about the event you should have through knowledge of the important current affairs topics which will help you both in your written exam as well as in your interview.
For best preparation of the current affairs you should study on a regular basis and should have a habit of preparing notes from newspaper and competitive exams books which I have mentioned above. Every day you should devote some time towards revision of the same.
In such way you can build your knowledge of current affairs. Discussions with friends and colleagues also help a lot in preparation of current affairs.
If you can follow the methods which I have told you will be able to solve more than 90% of the current affairs questions appearing in competitive exams.

How to block specific websites in all web browsers
March 4, 2016 | How To, Internet, Recent, Website, Windows Tricks | No Comments|
There are parental control software and by using it you can easily block any websites that you desire, but you have to pay for it. So by manually editing your host files you can block several websites, no worries we will guide you in easy steps.
A host file is a normal text file used by your OS (windows) to map host names and IP address. By using host file you can redirect a website to your local computer, in simple you can block any website that you wish. This topic is really more useful for parents who are concerned about their child's online activities. Mainly used to block pornographic websites and note that this method is only for windows users.
How to block specific websites in all web browsers – Windows computer
- Go to c:/windows/System32/drivers/etc or simply run this textc:/windows/System32/drivers/etc from start menu. If it's not c: then choose the appropriate drive where windows is installed.
- Now you will see a file called hosts, note that to edit this file you need to have administrator privileges. If you don't have administrator privileges then you will simple end up seeing this window.
- Right click on the hosts file and click run as administrator. If you don't see this option then click start and right click on notepad and then run as administrator.
- Now in notepad go to file >> open and then enter the following textc:windowsSystem32driversetchosts in file name filed and open.
- You will now see several lines in notepad and all that is used for mapping.
- Just after the final line that is #127.0.0.1 localhost # ::1 localhost enter the list of sites that you wish to block.
- Start with 127.0.0.1 leave a space and then add websites. You can enter list of websites each starting with WWW or non WWW or http://.
127.0.0.1 www.facebook.com
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 http://youtube.com
127.0.0.1 facebook.com
127.0.0.1 http://youtube.com
In the above line where 127.0.0.1 is the IP address for local host (local computer).
Other than adding domain names, you can block websites by using their IP address like this.
127.0.0.1 126.96.36.199
127.0.0.1 22.214.171.124
127.0.0.1 22.214.171.124
Tip: Go to who.is site, enter any website name and you can see its IP address in name servers area.
Save the hosts file when you are done and now go and open any browser (chrome, firefox, iexplorer) and check all those blocked websites. It simply shows a blank page.

when you try to act tuff n' stuff
out of the many music blogs that i read religiously, neongoldrecords, is by far the most "up-to-date", hip and trendy with their taste in "cool listenings". neongoldrecords is responsible for introducing me to great bands like:
- Passion Pit
- Two Door Cinema Club
- Ellie Goulding
- The Golden Filter…etc
however, one of the most catchy and musically talented groups showcased on the blog has got to be: Giantess. having labeled themselves as 'Healing & Easy Listening' on their myspace page (which i find clever/hilarious), Giantess proves to be different and catchy from the rest of the 'game'. also, the fact that they "sound like: overworked synthesizers (also displayed on the page)" leaves me loving the band even more. what's going to attract people to the band's distinct sound is the "pop-like" 80's synthesizers and antsy drum beats/hand claps that will have your head nodding in deep self-gratification. the group remains currently "not that well-known" with a self-entitled EP already released all over the internet. yet, plans of releasing another EP entitled 'Deceptive Man' in early 2009, is bound to make Giantess blow up. that this is the truth, y'all.
+(below you'll find a small added bonus for the holidays [since all of you are great dedicated readers] of my favorite remix to Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead" featuring Giantess, ENJOYviaDANKVIBE)
holiday timez
so for all of you readers out there that celebrate something like: hanukkah/christmas/kwanzaa/'thrumore', the tri-annual celebration of the witches circle… i'd just like to know if any of this holiday business actually holds any meaning to you? i personally, have a great love for christmas since as a 'wee babe' my family has hosted a huge feast for my entire family. each year this feast allows for me to see the familiar faces that have 'brought me up' and have given hand to what i have become today (cool, intelligent, great-at-things, etc). it's quality. but what i want to know is what holiday's like christmas means to other families? is it more about gifts for other families than actually coming together and spending time with one another? i think it's extremely important to be with the ones you love as often as you can since the recent passing of someone close to me as well as a relative of a very close friend of mine has opened my eyes and brought me to a realization that life's too short to be worried about things that shouldn't matter but somehow still do. this gets me thinking. since its the holiday season, we should be more focused on enjoying one another than stupid materialistic things like: ipodz, hannah montanna cd's, new cool leggings with diamond shaped stitching, those 'kewl' new jeans with rips in them from abercrombie, etc..you get my point. all in all, enjoy your holiday y'all. even if you do happen to practice that witchcraft business..god bless you all, happy holidays.
on the other hand, musically speaking, i've been mixing alot more on my set of turn tables (AKA ONE-N'-TWO's, if you're cool enough) and a few days ago i took a train into NYC in search for some cool/hip and happening new musics. i picked up a few vinyls from this reallllly cool underground music store that you had to walk down 3 flights of stairs, confront a man named "bo" with an eyepatch, and knock on the front door 6 times to get into. group #1 of my discovery calls themselves LMFAO and have a track called "I'm In Miami Bitch" that i'm sure is bound to hit the club scene very soon (if it hasn't already). it sounds similar to Kid Cudi's "day n' night" with clever hooks and hip hop beats, and is above all most definitely a catchy track. the other vinyl that really jumped out at me consisted of two songs by the french house duo The Youngsters. "Phoenix" and "Rock 2 The Bit" are the two upbeat and extremely fun songs featured on the vinyl that are sure to get you in the dancing mood. infact, i highly suggest checking out these three tracks since they're extremely hotttt right now. hopefully i can get them posted up here on DANKVIBE as soon as i get ahold of the mp3 files, myself. enjoy.

p.s. – for all of you people who continue to: check/read/talkabout/dreamabout/make love to DANKVIBE, thank you. you are all beautiful people for reading this and i can guarantee that you are 'getting better' (characteristcally speaking) each moment you spend time on this blog. stay up.
rest in peace
what's next, world?
what can we expect from the world (music wise) after these "electrowars" are over? many blogs have already determined that australia and all the kangaroos or whatever else they got there are in fact the winners of said 'war' yet what i, the creator of this amazing blog, want to know is: "who//what//when//where//and sometimes why" will be next to put out something 'hip' 'trendy' and above all 'quality listening material'? or will it even be of this world? i mean come on do you really think that we are the only inhabitants of this universe? nah, stop kidding yourself. we aren't. or will it be the scottish? how about the mexicans? who knows (if you know this information, e-mail me). see, i'm on a personal quest to discover what's going to be big next because i like to stay on top of things that are cool and spread the wealth to other cool people like you out there who are deserving and need to be cooler/better/more cultured even(?). in any sense before my head explodes from gloating, below you will find 1 mp3 file containing music by Meursault which essentially is a combo of a ukulele, drumkit, awesome scottish vocals and whatever else you want in a 'different sounding' indie/electric song. as for the 2nd mp3 (i know, i'm generous…no need for thanks) a band named Hello Seahorse! also wields with them a very peculiar sound hailing from the lush lands of Mexico (does mexico have lush green lands? go figure) featuring a very relaxed bubbly synth bass-line with foot tapping drums in the back and a beautiful female voice speaking spanish to you via your computer speakers or headphones (or whatever else you use to hear things). enjoy.
cuz it don't make a difference anyway
i must admit that i feel kinda guilty for breaking my "post everyday" streak i had going (since believe it or not, i actually have a few dedicated readers… you guys are really cool for reading this, i just want to let you know that. it's ALSO clear that you know what is good reading material AKA DANKVIBE). anyway, enough gloating for now (gonna keep this post short and sweet), to make up for my neglecting you the night before, i'm going to provide you with a pretty sickk song which i can gurantee not many people know about yet. this track is still indeed very hot and fresh out the oven. enjoy. keep reading. keep commenting. church
more readers?
so it just so happens that there are actually a bunch of you out there on the internet who actually read my blog. this isn't too much of a suprise to me however, considering it's one of the more realistic/meaningful and interesting blogs on the internet available for people to read (so far DANKVIBE has not ALWAYS been about music as i originally thought it would be, i have yet to talk about fashion/whats hip//cool). what's cool though is that it turns out there are enough people i don't know who care enough to listen to me ramble about things that are meaningful/important to me. speaking of which, y'all remember the problem i had with that person/place/thing of mine (CAUTION: i use noun participles to describe people simply for anonymity, and out of my own sheer brilliance)? well it seems that my only commenter was in fact right: (CAUTION x2: meaningful message/lesson coming up..) talking about things was the best way to work 'it' out…especially if they mean enough to you in the first place to try and fix things. alright alright alright, enough of my own personal matters. i don't wanna push away all of the few readers i have already with annoying personal problems since this isn't just a journaling blog talking about meaningful things in my life. i do intend on spreading knowledge of what actually is cool out 'there' in hopes to improve your own personal image and make you feel better about yourself (if you ever did feel bad about your personal image prior to reading) since what i like is generally really cool in the first place. first off, if you haven't heard//are deaf//live under-a-rock, electric music is where it's at right now and there are quite a few bands that are making this genre of music thrive and continue to be the most legit type of music available (for easy illegal downloads too, might i add) at this very moment. i'm currently loving this song called Far Away which is one of Cut Copy's new singles and was remixed by The Golden Filter. i think from now on i'll keep you updated more often with good music… or i might not… because this thing (dankvibe) is still fairly young in it's age so i haven't completely decided what i plan on basing most/all/some of my posts on. we'll see.
All in all, continue to read this amazing piece of internet journalism and tell others about it because it is what it is and that is high quality reading material.
if i had a band…i'd play free shows in open lots too
so upon my daily reading of "hipsterrunoff" today, I stumbled upon a post dedicated to a band straight outta Portland OR cleverly named "Starfucker". the website showcased two curious videos of the band playing in an open lot with various 'pool party' toys being tossed about in the background. it was also interesting to see that the band consisted of a guitarist/lead vocals a drummer/vocals and to my surprise a bassist who also happened to be a 2nd drummer for the band (which is awesome if you ask me). i highly recommend checking them out if you haven't listened to them already.
Also, incase you were wondering (which i know all of you interested readers out there were) my issue has yet to be resolved for the better with the person/place/thing i have been quarreling with, but i must say that humiliation and "putting one (deservingly)" in their place can really make you feel a wholeeee lot better about the situation. keep reading, keep commenting, stay up.
p.s i know that all of you out there have to be lovvvvving DANKVIBE, shit's legit. church.
perhaps…not so guilty
see, when people act impulsively they are 50% wrong most of the time for committing the act that they think is right (meaning that they should have either done ______ or not done _______ ). in my previous post, I decided that perhaps patching things up between the 'person' i'm having trouble with and myself would be the appropriate and mature thing to do. HOWEVER when that person/place/thing attempts to f*&k with you, it is also appropriate to take a different approach toward things like:
-embarrass (them)
-confront (them verbally/or otherwise)
In my case ladies and gentlemen (or whatever you are), I choose not too make that meaningful noo0oo000dle necklace nor do I choose to recreate one of my favorite childhood hobbies of finger painting (in order to 'patch' things up) but instead I choose one of the more aggressive strategic measurements listed above. this means war. stay tuned for outcome (?) in any case, continue to read DANKVIBE y'all cause I keep it real. you feel me?
currently listening to: Half In Love With Elizabeth by Mystery Jets
guilty as charged
have you ever taken someone's feelings less serious then you should have? I've been feeling a little guilty lately because I said a few things/ended a few things/closed some doors to some people when maybe I shouldn't have. I'm personally a very impulsive person and I think it's safe to say I share that quality collectively with most of my generation. We act without thinking, we act impulsively and in under-minding the circumstances of our actions we lose: important things/people/love/life/friends/pets/ipods/lunch/chapsticks because of it. If you were in my position, what would you do to 'patch things up'?
Perhaps I should go out and be mainstream/materialistic and buy that friend/person/thing of mine a nice gift to 'fix things' between us. Or make something from the heart like a nice noooodle necklace or a finger painting (that took approx. 10 minutes to create but counts for more meaning than anything else). god, things used to be so much easier when I was younger. I lived a meaningful life as a kid, why do great things like that have to change?
…comments are nice too
p.s – how great are sick days from school? answer: extremelygreat.
currently listening to: Make This Work by The Magistrates
why can't i be popular?
as we all know, there are a shit load of blogs out there directing you on what's cool/what to listen to/how to dress etc. but what separates those sorts of blogs apart from its identical blog brother? Is it really relevant to create 10,000 blogs about the same thing? why is it that numerous blogs can be more popular than others when discussing the same sort of thing? why cant i be popular? should i be searching for popularity in the first place or just enjoy writing from the "heart" about necessary topics to in hopes improve you're personal image and give to the world some memorable quotes and words of wisdom with each and every one of my gracious posts (to you, the reader). I mean it's human nature to appreciate being liked by others, no?
Maybe I should stop searching for popularity at such a young age in my blog and earn the respect from others through meaningful posts. yeah. that's what i think i'll do. but in the meantime, if you are reading these, do tell your friends to make a stop at DANKVIBE. I would definitely appreciate/be more motivated to write for a larger audience of readers.
currently listening to: Solid Gold by the Golden Filter
cool thangs
alright, i figured i'd start off the blog by creating a reeaallllllly long list of things that I like so you can kinda get a sense of the things that I will soon write about (even though I can gurantee most of everything I talk about on this will be utterly random and entertaining). Anyway, I like a lot of cool things and if you'd like to improve yourself and your personal image you should try to like things like me:
music/electronic music/indie music/thrash/techno/bloghouse/the sound of things shattering/bird calls/awkward silences/hip clothing/ipods/dominoes flat-bread pizza/Macbooks/ur mom/intelligent conversations/pretty girls/hipsterrunoff.com/asian dj's/flannel shirts/nike sneakers/cool people/winning free things (not including those internet scam things, those really suck ass and give my computer viruses)/being original/music blogzzz/comic books/drawing/cool art/learning from mistakes/getting better at things/funny things/life
What sort of thing is important to you? I think it's important to find your on niche in life (whatever that may be) and become happy with the "kewl/cool" person that you are (?).

A New Automated Method and Sample Data Flow for Analysis of Volatile Nitrosamines in Human Urine
A New Automated Method and Sample Data Flow for Analysis of Volatile Nitrosamines in Human Urine - Descarga este documento en PDF. Documentación en PDF para descargar gratis. Disponible también para leer online.
Volatilenitrosamines VNAs are a group of compounds classified as probable group 2Aand possible group 2B carcinogens in humans. Along with certain foods andcontaminated drinking water, VNAs are detected at high levels in tobaccoproducts and in both mainstream and side-stream smoke. Our laboratory monitorssix urinary VNAs—N-nitrosodimethylamine NDMA, N-nitrosomethylethylamineNMEA, N-nitrosodiethylamine NDEA, N-nitrosopiperidine NPIP,N-nitrosopyrrolidine NPYR, and N-nitrosomorpholine NMOR—using isotopedilution GC-MS- MS QQQ for large population studies such as the NationalHealth and Nutrition Examination Survey NHANES. In this paper, we report forthe first time a new automated sample preparation method to more efficientlyquantitate these VNAs. Automation is done using Hamilton STARTM and CaliperStaccatoTM workstations. This new automated method reduces sample preparationtime from 4 hours to 2.5 hours while maintaining precision inter-run CV <10% and accuracy 85% - 111%. More importantly this method increases samplethroughput while maintaining a low limit of detection

What's happening at Maisha Na Maji (Living Water), a United Methodist Mission in Tanzania.
Monday, August 8, 2011
The group that left yesterday is back in the U.S. except for Carl who is sitting in Bahrain waiting to get his Afghan visa stamp. The group here now is a delight. They leave every morning at 8:30 am to teach seminars, one at the Baptist church and one here at Martha's Place. They have a worship service every day at 4:00 pm that runs to 6:30. Then they come back here to eat, talk about the day and go off to bed tired from a good day's work. They will do this tomorrow and Wednesday and then Thursday morning they leave for a Serengeti safari and back to the U.S. and we will back to just the three of us. Our Anglican missionary friends are in Nairobi trying to get their car fixed and a passport for their newest child, but they should be back by the end of the week. We will be sanding and varnishing and delivering the six desks to St. Wiggins Academy. We still have clothes for the orphans in Kabasa that we will deliver next week. We also have a suitcase full of baby clothes for the orphanage run by Lisbeth in Bweri. Will be delivering those next week, as well. If all goes well, we will have our resident permits renewed by the end of the week. Keep us all in your prayers.

Chapter 11: Homecoming
As Homecoming approached, Veronica and I made plans to go shopping at the mall for dresses. Veronica claimed she had a date but wouldn't tell me who it was. "Come on V! Tell me who the mystery guy is." I said as we looked into a window display.
"Nope." Veronica said dragging me to another shop. She had already picked out a dress but I hadn't found one I wanted just yet. As soon as we entered the shop she scooped up a half dozen dresses and pushed them into my arms. "Try these on!"
From the dressing room, I called out; "Give me a hint. Upper or lower classman?"
"Upper." V said nonchalantly, though I knew she was about to burst.
I poked my head out from behind the curtain with my eyebrows raised. "Junior or Senior?!"
"Junior." she said with a grin.
I slipped the curtain back and finished putting on the dress. Then I stepped out and grinned. "Okay V, truth time - who is it?" I asked.
"I don't like that one." V said dodging. She pushed me back into the dressing room.
I rolled my eyes but changed dresses. "Soooo....is he on the football team?" I asked as slipped on a slinky silver dress. "Basketball?" (although it was muffled by the dress)
"Football." V answered. I could hear her tapping her foot waiting for me to come out.
When I came out she smiled. "That's the one." she said.
"If I buy this one will you tell me who you're going to the dance with?" I asked already planning to get the dress. I returned the other dresses and walked up to the counter with my dress. As it was rung up, I turned back to V - "Well?" but she stayed silent.
"Come on, let's get something at the food court." she said snatching my bag from the counter.
After we finally sat down drinking our sodas, I caught her eye. "Enough dodging V! Who are you going with?" I asked.
Veronica took several minutes to concentrate on her soda and fruit bowl and then finally looked at me and smiled. "Adam Williams" she finally said practically bouncing in her seat.
"Ooh! Nice!" I said with a grin. He was a snob and way to smug about his own looks but he did look great. "Well done V."
A few days later was the Homecoming pep rally. One of the cheerleaders had come down with mono and was out of school, so Veronica was called in as an alternate. She tried to look annoyed by the inconvenience but I knew she was excited.
Carson High hadn't beat Crestview High at our Homecoming in the last five years so there wasn't a lot of pep to the pep rally in the beginning. We had a good team this year but still, five years of history were fighting against us.
The cheerleaders had their work cut out for them raising the spirit of the crowd.
Veronica was even "cheer-tastic"; more so than she had been at try outs.
Their spirit was infectious and the crowd jumped to their feet toward the end when the football players did their runs across the field.
When Spencer Ryan, the captain of the team and the most likely candidate for Homecoming King, stepped up to say something, the roar of the crowd drowned him out. Just as well, I've heard him speak....
Well we won the game, it was very close but we won!! The dance had the best attendance in years from what I understand and everyone was full of energy riding on the win.
When it came time for the presentation of the King and Queen, the room fell silent. Everyone knew that Spencer and his long term girlfriend, Anya, had broken up very publicly a couple weeks ago. She had rebounded quickly but the school still selected them as King and Queen. When they were crowned at the game, they'd glared at each other, when they walked to the dance floor together for their "Royal" dance, they were arguing....again.
Everyone looked away and then back again, we all danced but most of our eyes were on them. Spencer looked toward his date helplessly. Anya had always had a bit of a temper.
Needless to say, the King and Queen's dance did not last long before Jeremy Malone cut in to "rescue" Anya and Spencer beat a fast retreat to his own date.
Before the night was over, we all made our way to the photographers station to get pictures with our dates.

I was recently diagnosed with MS on June 1st 2016. I had a severe first attack that affected my four limbs. I was referred to a physical therapist, but she did not really help me out all that much. I want to move forward and I would love to find a physical therapist that specializes in MS that can work with me. I don't even know if I can find one where I live since I live in a small town, Bakersfield, California. Can you help me find a physical therapist that specializes in MS near where I live?
Thank you
I am not too familiar with providers in that area of California. However, here is a great blog with information from a physical therapist who specializes in MS... READ BLOG.
Also, the National MS Society identifies providers that have demonstrate competence in MS care that they call "Partners in MS Care". You can go to the following link to search for providers (including rehabilitation experts) in your area:

TOKYO (CBS.MW) -- Stock markets in Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong failed to hold onto early gains Tuesday, with investor sentiment damped by another tumble in U.S. markets overnight.
Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei Average erased early gains to end the session down 67.28 points, or 0.41 percent, at 16,318.73, reaching a fresh 11-month low. The Nikkei has lost almost 1,200 points during the past four trading days.
Investors continue to seek out bargains in lower priced old-economy shares such as paper makers and gas utilities, analysts said.
Tokyo's broader TOPIX of all first section issues fell 0.17 percent to close at 1,519.84 points.
South Korea's market also swung between losses and gains on opening then moved toward selling of big-cap stocks. The Kospi Index dropped 1.71 percent, or 11.85 points, to close at 679.76, led by a 4.3 percent decline in shares of Samsung Electronics Co. (SSNGF).
In Hong Kong, the benchmark index bounced 150 points in early morning, but quickly ran out steam, led by selling in heavyweight telecom stocks such as China Telecom (CHL). The stock lost 2.5 percent. By midday, the Hang Seng Index was down 0.69 percent, or 97.24 points, at 140.43.49.
Taiwan's stocks fell for a second day after Saturday's 300-point drop on the inauguration day of President Chen Shui-bian. The Taiwan Weighted Index fell 1.55 percent, or 136.56 points, to end at 8,671.01.
Elsewhere in the region, Singapore's Straits Time Index sank 2.19 percent to 1,887.68 points and Malaysia's key gauge was down 1.52 percent at 919.29 points by the mid-afternoon session. The Philippines' market closed down 0.53 percent at 1,404.67 points.
Australia's key All Ordinaries Index added 11.60 points, or 0.39 percent, to 2,980.60 by late afternoon, helped by gains in the resources sector. New Zealand's NZ Top 40 also advanced 0.36 percent to end the session at 2,000.43 points.
In currency trading, the dollar was little changed against the yen and was trading recently at 107.05 yen compare with 107.12 yen in New York late Monday. T was at 106.34 yen on Friday -- the lowest since April 27.
Japan's Finance Minister Kiichi Miyazawa said he is unconcerned about the recent drop in Japanese equity prices. "Cleary, the economy remains on a recovery path. I'm not worried about it," he said.
"Yes, there're still are buying interests in Tokyo's market and the recent plunge is not due to fear over the economic recovery," said Teruhisa Ishikawa, deputy manager of the investment products planning section of Izumi Securities Co.
Ishikawa added the recent declines in the Nikkei are mainly due to selling of big-cap stocks by foreign institutions, which may be trying to intentionally lower the index, as some of their index-linked bonds are soon to mature.
Among large-cap technology shares, Canon Inc.(CANNY) sank 8.7 percent to 4,190 and the industry leader Sony Corp (SNE) slipped below 10,000 yen at one stage before closing at 10,000, down 2.7 percent.
NTT Data crumbled 13.8 percent after the company on Monday posted a consolidated net loss of 18.1 billion yen ($167.6 million) in the year ended March 31, marking the first net loss on a consolidated basis since the company was listed in 1995.
Internet-related shares faced heavy selling, with shares of Softbank Corp. tumbling 7.2 percent to 15,400 yen. Internet portal Yahoo Japan lost by its daily limit of 5 million yen to 27 million, down 15.6 percent.
But troubled Internet investor, Hikari Tsushin Inc. rose for the first time in six trading days, ending at 7,200 yen, up 700 yen after hitting a record low of 5,800 yen in the morning.
Among gainers, Tokyo Gas rose 2.3 percent and Osaka Gas closed up more than 2.5 percent. Oji Paper Ltd. (OJIPY) jumped 2.6 percent to 757. The Nihon Keizai daily reported that the company plans to boost group pretax profit by 500 percent to 100 billion yen ($925 million) in the next five years through corporate restructuring measures.
Hong Kong stocks edged lower Tuesday morning because of lingering jitters about an interest rate hike and Nasdaq's overnight decline.
"Last week's reshuffle in the MSCI indices means that Hong Kong's weighting in many portfolios will decline," said Adrian Ngan, head of research at BNP Peregrine Prime Securities in Hong Kong. "And we see that the Nasdaq is weakening further and trying to find a bottom. That means we may see more volatility, which will put pressure on local TMT [technology, media and telecom] stocks," he added.
City Telecom (CTEL), a local telecom carrier, swooned 14.09 percent to 1.89 Hong Kong dollars. On Monday, the company posted its first net loss in eight years of 52.53 million Hong Kong dollars for the six-month period ended February.

Shares of Compal Electronics (CMPXF) slumped 3.4 percent to 70.50 Taiwan dollars.

In honor of my beautiful daughter's recent birthday (Jan. 2) I'm sharing photos from her fourth birthday party. That girl has never enjoyed being the center of attention - which was evident even at age four at her own birthday party.
And she's still in love with Winnie the Pooh.
Her pinafore dress was sewn by her mama (me) from a cotton floral print. The primary color was blue, but I choose to trim it with pink ribbon to help draw attention to the pink flowers in the print. Completing the ensemble was a blue button front blouse (also sewn by mama) and matching blue tights.
Oh gosh, look at that horrible gold chair in the background. I had forgotten all about that chair; it was old and falling apart but I was so grateful to have a chair to sit on. You know, until I look at these old pictures, I forget how poor we really were. We owned so little and much of it was cast offs. I should reflect back on the hard times once in awhile as it helps me to be thankful for the good times I now experience.
By the way, if you haven't read her story yet, click on last year's birthday post. This little one entered the world way too early and way too small yet survived with no side effects.

Happy birthday to your daughter! I've got my Winnie The Pooh sitting on my armoire--Jamee, Antoinette and I all three got Winnie The Pooh's at 6. And he is special, albeit a little grey now from all the grime and love, and I do believe there's old gum on one of his paws. But I take him down from time to time. xoReplyDelete
I remember reading the birthday-birth story last year. It brought tears to my eyes then, and does now just remembering it.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday to her, and to you as her mom.

King Gustav Vasa is buried inside the cathedral with his 3 wives but only 2 are depicted on the sarcophagus. I haven't found anything explaining why they're all buried with him or why 1 of them isn't depicted, but it's an interesting tidbit of history.
When you're ready for a fika, I definitely recommend Ofvandahls Hovkonditori at Sysslomansgatan 5. It's from the late 1800s with old style dining rooms. It has wonderful coffee and treats to enjoy!

(a) Transfer—U/s 2(47) of Income-tax Act 1961, the term 'transfer' has been defined as Transfer in relation to a capital asset includes :
(i) the sale, exchange or relinquishment of the asset; or
(ii) the extinguishment of any rights therein; or
(iii) the compulsory acquisition thereof under any law; or
(iv) in a case where the asset is converted by the owner thereof into, or is treated by him as stock-in-trade of a business carried on by him, such conversion or treatment; or
(v) any transaction involving the allowing of the possession of any immovable property to be taken or retained in part performance of a contract of the nature referred to in section 53A of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882; or
(vi) any transaction (whether by way of becoming a member of, a acquiring shares in, a co-operative society, company or other association of persons or by way of any agreement or any arrangement or in any other manner whatsoever) which has the effect of transferring or enabling the enjoyment of, any immovable property.
(vii) maturity or redemption of a zero coupon bond.
Clarification of the expression "Transfer" [Explanation 2 to Section 2(4 7)] [w.r.e.f. 1-4-1962]
"Transfer" includes and shall be deemed to have always included disposing of or parting with an asset or any interest therein, or creating any interest in any asset in any manner whatsoever, directly or indirectly, absolutely or unconditionally, voluntarily or involuntarily, by way of an agreement (whether entered into in India or outside India) or otherwise, notwithstanding that such transfer of rights has been characterised as being effected or dependent upon or flowing from the transfer of a share or shares of a Co. registered or incorporated outside India.
In this definition the word 'transfer' represents the sale, exchange or relinquishment of the assets. The ownership of the asset has to change to make a complete transfer. Eric L. Kohler has defined transfer as "The passage of property usually with title, or of services from one person to another." The asset may be transferred under free-will or under compulsion. The scheme of capital gain taxation includes both the types of transfer, voluntary or involuntary. As such any sale of asset of debtor under the court order will be 'transfer' under the provision of this Act.
It is immaterial whether the assets are transferred by the owner himself or on his behalf by some other person. Assets of the firm under dissolution are sold by a commissioner or receiver under the order of court and if there is capital gain, the firm under dissolution will pay tax on such capital gain.
The compulsory acquisition of an asset by Government also constitutes 'transfer' and any gain arising from such transaction will also be considered as 'Capital Gains'. The meaning of word 'transfer' is not restricted only to transfers by act of parties : compulsory acquisition of the property also amounts to a transfer. [Vadilal Soda Ice Factory v. CIT (1917) 80 I.T.R. 711]. "A running concern's sale by a firm to a company (newly formed) will also be considered as transfer."

This palette is perfection. It comes in a nice, sturdy tin case (super adorable, by the way) with a dual ended brush/sponge. On the back is a full list of all the colors' names. The ultimate dupe for Urban Decay's Naked 2, its colors are nearly identical to the higher end product and apply just as intense and buttery. This really is a perfect nude palette with a mix of shimmer, metallic, and matte shadows. I got mine for 7 USD on eBay and have since ordered both the In the Nude (Naked 3 dupe) and In the Buff: Lightly Toasted (Original Naked dupe) palettes. This affordable brand has seriously outdone themselves!

After hearing many great reviews all over the internet I decided to try this product.
I have wanted a Urban Decay palette for a while but with no cash to splurge on such expensive products. This is supposed to be similar but at a much smaller price.
I grabbed mine for around 5GBP on eBay.
The product itself is great, the eye-shadows can be creamy, striking and dark. You can also use the more natural shades within the pack. I was going to buy the pack In the Nude but paid a little more for the In the Buff as it seemed more of a mixture, as I didn't want to be stuck with just nudes on say a night out.
I am extremely happy with the product, the brush that it comes with isn't very good though but what do you expect for a cheap price? the product itself looks and feels much more expensive than what it is.
In this case, you do not get what you pay for. You get more.

I saw a review by LetzMakeup and bought it off of Amazon, price and shipping were very reasonable. My eyes are very sensitive and many brands make them water, but this palette did not. I highly recommend, colors are great.

I picked this up through a seller on Amazon when I ordered one of Sleek's latest palettes. I had to go through a reseller since Sleek was sold out on-line and am honestly happy I did since I picked this palette up as well!
I was pleasantly surprised over the quality of the shadows and packaging. The texture and pigmentation of these shadows are right on; they are buttery, apply well, blend like a dream and have great color pay off. I paid a whopping $8 for this one and think its worth much more. The packaging is a nice hard plastic shell which is very protective of the eyeshadows for travel. The only con I found was the applicator was a cheap brush/sponge tip applicator but I rarely use any applicator provided as I like to use my own brushes.
Overall, this is a winner and you can't beat the price. I will definitely be checking out more from this brand.

This most definitely THE dupe for UD Naked 2. Nice variety of warm & cool shades, which blend very well! It also stays on pretty well with a primer, just slight fall-out during the day. The price is ridiculously low, I paid something like 7 euros for it. This has taken a permanent place in my daily wear stash! Nothing but LOVE!

I'll keep this brief. I'm homeless, but I have an office and a fledgling business. I'm living rough in one of the most affluent cities in the U.S. of A. I want to be taken seriously by my prospects… And I'm not going to advertise to the world how tenuous is my continued presence in Santa Barbara.
I'm figuring it all out. If you are in this position (millions of people in America are), or wonder about the people in this predicament… I hope you find this blog useful. Perhaps in the future, say six months from now, when I'm successful… I may come out of the figurative homeless closet. Until then, if you live in Santa Barbara, you could pass me on the street and never know my story.

I like to pride myself on being a smart gnome. Well, no, that's the king of understatements. I like to pride myself on being a genius gnome. To that end, I'm always impressed when someone is able to conjure up an idea that had not occurred to me. Generally I just feel angry and envious but this time around was different. Werevolt. The big lummox has a head on his shoulders after all, at least when he's pressed. He may have dropped me down a pit like a moron but now in the eleventh hour he comes through and concocts a plan to save Brian's father and his own slave lovers life, the Foe's supposed ultimatum be damned. Perhaps that dragon blood is starting to do some good and getting the juices flowing upstairs as well as through those rippling muscles of his.
It will take all of my teleportation magic and it depends on that unreliable spell not backfiring but if we can pull it all off we should be able to save two lives instead of just one. I know that should be the big selling point on this whole endeavour. Perusing Pelor's holy book, having Brian back, I'm beginning to more fully understand the utility of the whole righteous thing. It's especially true when you are going against the biggest of all bastards, the Foe. Despite that, the big perk in my mind to pulling off this plan is not saving lives but giving a big towering middle finger to the bastard who thinks he can control us. I always knew magic was the solution to our problems and I'm vindicated. We can disrupt the Foe's plans and keep Brian and Werevolt happy. It sounds like a win-win to me.
I'm beginning to feel tired. I feel like each day that passes is a few decades off my life. The New Year is just around the corner and we still have to pull of this crazy teleportation plan, rush into Helm's Grave, and hope that it is the end point. Then we have to hope we can beat whatever the hell the Foe actually is and come out of this alive and sane. I want to have faith in Pelor that he will deliver us through all this. Having that kind of faith in Boccob is pretty pointless since he doesn't give a damn either way, but Pelor has shown he's a different sort. He brought Brian back as a saint which, as divine decisions goes, is about as sound as any idea I've heard before or since. I'm afraid to place my faith in that way though. I need all my energy driving toward my magic, toward my reasoning. I need every resource at the ready to pour into this coming confrontation.
There have been plenty of times in the past months that I've worried if I would live. The Zern, the crypt, even way back in the forest. Yet I've never felt this heavy dread before. I didn't understand it at first but Timbertope saw to the heart of the matter. This death means something more than my own. It means the endangerment of Karsis. The endangerment of the world. It means Ypes will die. It means Jimpy will be forced to flee or go down in a blaze of glory (again). It means that everything that myself and the Big Guy have worked for were ultimately for nothing. I'm not used to feeling that kind of responsibility on my shoulders. Not in this way. The thought wearies me but all I can do is stand strong and see this to the end.
I'll kill the Foe or I will die trying. It is odd to accept that conviction.

Videos On PFRE Tutorial Page Now Full Screen HD
September 17th, 2008
I just got finished converting all the screen capture videos that I have on the PFRE tutorial page from youtube videos to vimeo videos. This makes the tutorials much higher quality because vimeo is HD capable and if you click on the full screen control in the lower right corner as illustrated in the photo to the right, the video will fill your screen. I think this makes these screen capture videos much more useful and easy to see.
Back when I made the 10 essentials videos I was targeting the video for youtube so the videos are not quite high quality as they could be. I'll be re-shooting these videos to add more content in the future, so the next time I shoot them the quality will improve.
Watching these videos may tax your internet connection. They look good running on my 6 Mb/sec Comcast cable, 26″ monitor, on a MacBook Pro. They do have a consistant little "hic" every 45 secs or so, but I think the quality is preferable to youtube for this kind of video. So far I've on had one person tell me they didn't look good. I assume the look good to the majority. What do you think? Is this an improvement? Or are they a problem to watch? Perhaps I should add links to the youtube versions for those with slower connections.

MULTAN/MUZAFFARGARH - The health workers kept almost all public sector health facilities locked-up except emergency wards here on Thursday as a protest against proposed privatisation of health sector.
The protesters locked up the local health offices, rural health centres, tehsil and district headquarters hospitals, Shahbaz Sharif General Hospital and City Medical Centre. They shouted slogans against the government and warned that they would not flinch from offering any sacrifice to thwart the government's attempts to commit financial murder of health staff.
Speaking on the occasion, their leaders said that the government had planned to give the charge of health sector to a private company which was an unlawful act. They included lady health workers leader Madam Rukhsana, Secretary General of All Pakistan Paramedical Staff Punjab Maqbool Ahmad Gujjar, Dr Nasir Siddiqui, Dr Asif and others.
They added that the company had already taken charge of a few hospitals where healthcare cost had gone seriously up while recruitment of medical staff had either been halted or they were employed on daily wages.
They demanded the Punjab government should immediately stop privatisation process and increase health budget. They declared that all rural health centres, THQs, DHQs and town hospitals would be locked up today and the staff would not mark their attendance on biometric system. They added that the health workers would stage a sit-in at health office.
Likewise, Health workers went on strike against the proposed privatisation of health facilities to a private company namely Punjab Health Facilities Management Company (PHFMC). The employees of health department launched a protest against the handing over health facilities to the PHFMC. The employees have stopped working except in emergency till the reversal of the decision by the govt of the Punjab. Speaker said that the plan was aimed at promoting corruption and nepotism. A large number of employees were assembled at CEO (DHA) office and raised anti-Punjab govt slogans. They also requested to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take immediate suo motu action against the plan.
ONLY 75PC WHEAT TARGET ACHIEVED: The food department has achieved 75 per cent of wheat procurement target in Multan division, disclosed food sources.
Similarly, over 90 percent of jute bags have also been distributed. Food sources said that the procurement process got slow as major portion of the target had been achieved. However, the growers accused the staff appointed at wheat procurement centres of doing illegal deductions from their produce.
"As the wheat procurement operation is about to end, the food officials have increased illegal deductions. They're forcing us to sell wheat to the middlemen on throw away price," farmers added. They pointed out that the country had produced a good yield of wheat, demanding the government to increase wheat procurement target.
On the other hand, the pace of wheat procurement operation has gone slow as about 75 per cent of total target has been achieved.

St Malachy's runner Joe McAllister topped the field at Friday night's Mallusk Hariers Five-Mile Road Race.
The experienced McAllister battled it out with Brian Campbell for top spot. The pair were among 208 competitors, representing 32 clubs, who put their best foot forward at the Wilsons Auctions sponsored event.
Last year's winner, Campbell (Willowfield Harriers), who has been in sparkling form, notching up numerous wins throughout the season, went head-to-head with McAllister over the first 4.75 miles until McAllister edged in front.
The St Malachy's man kicked on in the final quarter of a mile to claim the honours by six seconds in a time of 26:37. The front two both beat last year's winning time of 27:00 minutes.
Campbell's Willowfield team-mate, Neill Weir, took third in an impressive time of 27:38. Fourth spot went to Andrew Considine (North Belfast) who clocked 28:19. He was followed home by his North Belfast team-mate and first junior, Conal McCambridge 28:31.
The ladies' race was equally as competitive.
It was won by Newtownabbey's Geraldine Branagh in a brilliant time of 33:57 minutes, followed in second by Dublin's Yvonne MacAuley (Crusaders AC) 34:16. Sarah Jane Guiney (Albertville Harriers) was third in a time of 34:44.

In 2007, I researched the practice of bibliotherapy as part of a Master of Science degree in Information and Library Studies. The aim was to provide a basis for a bibliotherapy service in collaboration with Glasgow Women's Library (GWL). In particular, I investigated the extension from the self-help or Books on Prescription schemes into imaginative literature or creative bibliotherapy models in the UK. Read the dissertation, Creating Bibliotherapy for Women:To Every Reader her Book, here.
My results showed that for the use of text for well-being, an element of discussion is essential. Across the UK and worldwide, various models of bibliotherapy showed how the range of texts can be used. It was particularly important to extend the self-help Books on Prescription schemes to include creative works and tailor them for those with literacy and other needs. To improve on self-help services it was also necessary to look at a more joined- up approach with NHS and public libraries. There was a need for public libraries to provide more patient information for customers and to be involved in the provision of information sources for health.
Useful examples for developing further use of creative reading were :Reading And You Scheme (RAYS) in Kirklees and Calderdale district – now called 'well into words'. and The Reader Organization's Get Into Reading scheme.
Researching Shared Reading Experiences
Easterhouse Women's group
The group setting was within a project for alcohol recovery that had for many years been meeting for two days a week for lunch, friendship and various activities.
The group was encouraged to listen to and discuss short stories and poems that the facilitator read aloud. The great benefit of reading aloud is that it gives access to those unable to read or write. The aim was to bring in something new for them that could develop conversations and allow for personal reflection. The texts were chosen by the facilitator along with the development worker who asked for themes on inter-generational, family relationships, in particular. The members were asked for their suggestions on what to read – and they asked for some short inspirational sayings, quotes and aphorisms . A focus on women writers and Scottish writers influenced the selection. The members were given copies of the text and were encouraged to read aloud when they wished to throughout the sessions. On only 2 occasions were they very keen to do this, and we heard them several times- the first was on hearing Tom Leonard, in Glasgow dialect, in' Unrelated Incidents – No. 3′, or 'the six o'clock news'. The excitement was tangible, some women wanted to take the poem home to their family. The second wow poem was 'Still I Rise' by Maya Angelou. The women felt empowered and excited.
Their long friendships were deepened through talking with one another about the stories and poems. In so doing, they also saw new things about each other. They were a very thankful group and we had a really enjoyable time together. Some women said they would now read more. A comment was "When ye read,…it gets ye through the hard times".
Wellhall Care Home
At Wellhall Care Home, I read stories, poems and newspapers to a group of residents. I took a range of resources, such as,
the local newspaper;
a magazine with interesting pictures;
old Scots sayings;
poems and a story.
I started the session with an old Scots song, 'Three Craws sat upon a wa' and we often closed with it or another song. The participants could be challenging, with strong opinions about a poem or story. Dementia and forgetfulness was addressed by repeating the song. In addition, I brought a variety of types of resource, all chosen to stimulate conversation. Other projects like Living Voices have worked with dementia sufferers such as in this care home.
Small Results from experience
For these two example groups, there were problems in reading, due to lack of concentration and dementia.A lot of my lessons were about patience and selecting the appropriate piece of writing to suit the needs of the people;
Some hints and tips for presenting sessions:
Prepare by reading your selected texts, thinking of questions, interpretations and possible discussion points. Always go over-prepared with extra stories and poems.
Prepare your attitude and presence. This work is more than delivering a presentation. It demands authentic interaction and one thing that carried me through any challenges was my passion for the poem, or story and for the people I was with. I wanted them to gain from it, to enjoy it!
Think of how you can respond to someone being upset, crying, angry, or emotional. Develop confidence in what you are doing, as well as patience and kindness.
Always have a co-worker with you e.g. for both above groups we had a worker present. This helped because the staff knew the participants and how to behave with them. They could take them out of the room if that was needed.
Ask participants to suggest material to bring to the group.
Recent Work Developing Bibliotherapy with NHS
The breadth of the NES work on models of bibliotherapy has included : the self-help model books on prescription; health literacy; patient information; a range of pilot projects including creative writing and a guided self-help lifeskills course (Living Life to the Full).
In Scotland, there is a growing interest in bibliotherapy and the Scottish Health Information Network (SHINE) presented an event in 2008.
Current work by NHS Education for Scotland Knowledge Services (NES) has developed networking and training events organised in partnership with SHINE and Lapidus Scotland.
A pilot study, based around building bibliotherapy networks around Scotland was designed and a proposal outline can be found here.
Nine pilot projects tried a range of support and the report can be read here.
Funded by NES a new toolkit – Words Work Well builds on existing activities and gathers hints for newcomers who want to learn how to facilitate groups using reading or writing. You can read it here.
We hope that the toolkit will enable a hub of activity with both practitioners and members of the public who wish to look into words and wellbeing.
Please come to wee read to be kept up to date with news and events!

Bioelectronics is a field of research in the convergence of biology and electronics
At the first C.E.C. Workshop, in Brussels in November 1991, bioelectronics was defined as 'the use of biological materials and biological architectures for information processing systems and new devices'. Bioelectronics, specifically bio-molecular electronics, were described as 'the research and development of bio-inspired (i.e. self-assembly) inorganic and organic materials and of bio-inspired (i.e. massive parallelism) hardware architectures for the implementation of new information processing systems, sensors and actuators, and for molecular manufacturing down to the atomic scale'.[1] The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), an agency of the U.S. Department of Commerce, defined bioelectronics in a 2009 report as "the discipline resulting from the convergence of biology and electronics".[2]:5
Sources for information about the field include the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) with its Elsevier journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics published since 1990. The journal describes the scope of bioelectronics as seeking to : "... exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics."[3]
Electronics technology has been applied to biology and medicine since the pacemaker was invented and with the medical imaging industry. In 2009, a survey of publications using the term in title or abstract suggested that the center of activity was in Europe (43 percent), followed by Asia (23 percent) and the United States (20 percent).[2]:6

Have you hugged a librarian today? Celebrate libraries this month
April is School Library Media Month, with emphasis on April 11-17 as National Library Week, a time to celebrate the contributions of libraries, librarians and library workers in schools, campuses and communities nationwide, and the perfect time for "Communities to Thrive @ your library," the ALA's 2010 theme.
The John B. Coleman Library at PVAMU will host a series of events, including the National Library Workers Day on April 14 in the public events room. For more information, visit the library or call Marion Williams at 936-261-1519 or check them out at pvamu.edu

The saying "when one door closes another one opens" became evident in the city with the closing of Williams Chicken on March 13 and the opening of Brubakers' Bar-B-Q and Sandwich on March 22, both on University Drive. Williams, PV's first franchise, bowed out after four years due to low patronage. It's left to be seen if Brubakers, a new venture, will pick up for the lack of eateries in the city. By the way, they make some great Super Baked Potatoes and Hamburgers! The Economic Corporation 4-B is working diligently to attract other businesses for the community.
Kudos to Lauren Kelley, Ann Johnson, and Tracey Moore in the recent PV Women in Art lecture on March 31 at PVAMU. The lecture and the works were both outstanding. Kelley is the university's curator, while Johnson and Moore teachers in the school of art/architecture.

Asia Bibi filed final option in SC filed
By – Shamim Masih
ISLAMABAD: Christian woman, Asia bibi, filed an appeal in the Supreme Court after being rejected from the Lahore High Court – LHC, last month. On behalf of her Saif ul Malook, attorney to Asia Bibi have filed a petition in the apex court on Monday in Lahore.
According to details, Asia Parveen known as Asia Bibi was sentenced to death on November, 2010 after the court declared that she has committed blasphemy during an argument with Muslim women over a bowl of water.
The request was filed to reconsider deficiencies in the case which include poor investigation and manipulated evidence by the local police.
Sohail Johnson, chairman Sharing Life Ministry Pakistan – SLMP said that we are providing legal assistance in this case as well as her family and hoping the early hearing of the appeal and believe that SC will review the case on the basis of fact. He requested the Christians community around the world to pray for her early hearing.
Earlier this month, Aashiq Masih, husband of Asia Bibi asked President Mamnoon Hussian for her pardon and allows her to move to France. He also wrote an open letter which was published in the New York Times on November 17.
Blasphemy has become highly sensitive issue in the country; Salman Taseer Governor Punjab was killed by his own official security guard in the same issue. Saif ul Malook have also been to attorney in the Salman Taseer case.
Despite the fact that Pakistan has never put to death any individual for blasphemy even if court declared individual guilty but anyone convicted or even just accused, of insulting Islam, hazards the violent along with the bloody death at the hands of vigilantes.

How to Make the Office Lobby Customer Friendly
Christine McDade is an experienced human resources manager.
Lobbies make an impression on visitors.
An office lobby is a place where people often find themselves waiting for the person they are scheduled to meet. Whether it is a place for a business or personal meeting, lobbies become an expression of the office and the people who work there every day. In many instances, a lobby is that place of "limbo" where people must wait for that job interview, the doctor or just a co-worker who is meeting them to discuss an issue. Staring at the tacky pictures on the walls or the outdated magazines can make the wait seem like an eternity. Thankfully, many office managers and administrative staff recognize the need to make this place warm and inviting to visitors. Those "special touches" that add an appeal to the ambience of the room make lasting impressions on the people who must spend time there.
"Special Touches" make a lobby customer friendly.
Warm and inviting lobbies are places where waiting is not a problem for customers because he/she simply do not mind being there. Office managers and staff who are responsible for maintaining the lobby will want to ensure the look of the room is warm and comfortable. The "special touches" that make lobbies nice are:
- Coffee and drinking water - Some offices offer coffee and/or water to visitors who wait for their appointments. While there is certainly a cost to the business to provide these beverages, a visitor will appreciate having a cool drink from a watercooler and a cup of coffee for that boost of caffeine that they need to get through the day. These beverages are a nice perk that will impress the visitor.
- Magazines and periodicals - Lobbies are known for their magazines, newspapers, and flyers that are available to visitors while they wait. Unfortunately, they are often out-dated and worn out from continued reading. No one wants to read about Halloween crafts when Easter is just around the corner. In addition, it is not unusual to have magazines with missing recipes and articles because someone over time has taken them. Office staff should periodically remove old magazines and replace them with current issues that will be of interest to the people who read them.
- Hand sanitizer - Like grocery stores and other public buildings, lobbies are often equipped with hand sanitizers for visitors. Since offices are infamous for handshaking and introductions, visitors appreciate the hand sanitizers that are available for everyone's use.
- Furniture - Because the cost of furniture is certainly a hefty investment for the business, many offices do not spend much money on the furniture that is put in a lobby. While it is not necessary to spend a lot of money to purchase furniture, it should be a priority of the office staff to keep the furniture clean and free of stains. Periodic cleaning of the furniture will keep the furniture presentable.
- Plants and flowers - Lobbies are often decorated with live plants and fresh flowers to add some color and life to an otherwise boring place. Staff should water plants regularly to give them proper care. During the winter holidays, poinsettias make a nice addition to a lobby.
- Telephone - Some lobbies have a telephone available to visitors for their use. While cell phones are common, it is still convenient to have a telephone available on a desk or counter for customers to use for local calls. Some lobbies will have a phonebook available to visitors as well.
- Television - Many lobbies these days also have televisions with cable or satellite to keep customers occupied while they wait. Doctor and dental offices often have TV's in their lobbies to help pass the time for their patients.
Keeping the Lobby Clean
Cleanliness of the lobby is a priority for office staff who maintain its appearance so that it is inviting to visitors. In addition to the furniture mentioned above, floors must be swept and carpet vacuumed regularly. Coffee pots should be emptied and cleaned throughout the day. Dusting of the blinds and furniture should be done consistently. Messy lobbies are a poor reflection on the company as people will not be comfortable in such an untidy place. The overall cleanliness is important to maintain a positive impression on visitors.
Some Closing Thoughts
Lobbies make a great place for businesses to showcase how they care about the customers who visit their office. Expressions of gratitude for the customers' business are made by providing a friendly and inviting place for visitors to wait. Taking a little extra care in how a lobby is decorated and maintained is an expression of how they handle all of their business. Offering beverages in a clean, attractive lobby will make visitors comfortable as they wait for their appointments to start. As a lobby is often the first impression of a business, there is good cause to make it a positive place to visit.

The newly published book Back in the Day: a collection of Holiday Stories, was written by students in one of the Literacy Council of Tyler's classes. The book was the idea of teacher Tracy Wellington. In the book, students share memories of their childhood holidays. Many students in the class have only recently learned to speak and write In English, so there is extra pride in being authors of a published book.
