File Extension NEF
File Extension NEF or commonly known as Nikon raw image file is the file extension used for raw photos captured by a Nikon digital camera usually a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) cameras. This file type stores data exactly as it was captured by charge-coupled device (CCD). This is to retain the original settings such as exposure and white balance of the image and later stored into the computer. When it's on the computer, further enhancement can be made to the picture using any graphic manipulation software such as Adobe Photoshop.
Where File Extension NEF is used ?
NEF file extension are used only in Nikon digital camera as the file format extension for raw photos captured using Nikon DSLR cameras and this is an uncommon file extension used in only Nikon DSLR cameras.
File extension TIF
File extension TIF or also known as Tagged Image File Format is a file format that is used to store images like other picture file format like JPG, PNG and GIF. Originally developed by Aldus and as far as 2009, Adobe Systems has gain control of the file format and holds the copyright to the TIFF specification although there's no major changes since it was first introduced in 1992. The latest version reported of the TIFF file extension format is TIFF 6.0.
Where File Extension TIF is used ?
Basically TIF file extension is used in pictures in the computer and over the internet. Although it's not as popular as JPG file format or GIF file format, it's still used widely across the world.
Which Application Needed To Open File Extension TIF ?
Basically there's a lot of programs that can be used to open TIF file extension. Since this is a universal file format, most graphic editor and viewer program can be used to open the file format. Applications that can be used to open the TIF file extension files are like Microsoft Paint, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Picture Viewer, Irfanview, The GIMP and ACDSee.
Satellite TV Competition in America
I talked about satellite television in a few post before this one and here again I will be talking about satellite television or dish network. I covered almost every aspect of it from my frustration on the satellite television provider here in Malaysia, from the monopoly of the certain company, comparing it to the similar satellite dish television in US, how we can use the satellite equipment to access internet, how satellite network is winning the competition from cable TV companies as well as some GPS related articles. Now let's talk about the competition in US which is the main competitor for another satellite television provider which the San Francisco Satellite Television company.
Basically, this company is running a different satellite television network from Direct TV. The company is providing satellite TV provider from Dish Network, which is the main competitor for Direct TV at the moment. San Francisco satellite tv claims that they are giving more than their competitors and which much lower cost. For starters, they are offering free HBO for 3 months when you subscribe to their satellite television service and giving you a HR-DVR upgrade for free too! They guaranteed a 100% digital programming for all their channels starting from $9.99 per month.
Getting the most out of Direct tv
I talked about satellite TV a while ago comparing their services and our made in Malaysia satellite TV services of you know who. Anyway, many people come to ask this question. How much better and reliable dish TV compared to cable TV? Well, I'll try my best to put your questions into the answers that you want.
There's no doubt the satellite tv is the winner in this area. The fact that cable users are usually limited to urbans and suburbans area, while dish TV can be used even in the rural areas. Satellite TV doesn't require expensive cabling cost that the cable providers will bear if they want to expand to rural areas. High cost without high returns means absolutely no chance for the rural areas to get paid channels.
The direct tv packages are cheap compared to the cable providers and is very competent. Plus, you have real HDTV experience when using satellite connection instead of cable TV. The picture and sound quality of dish TV is much clearer and better than cable TV. There's no doubt about packages offered by direct tv.
Channel programming
The channels offered by direct tv programming ranges from few packages and totals up to 265 different channels with HDTV experience and at unbeatable price. Cable TV can't compete with that many channels and not all of them supports HDTV. Furthermore, with a little upgrade cost, you can record the shows that you love or missed.
From what I can see, dish TV is gaining ground and it's a tough competitor for the cable TV provider. Soon in the future, it might become the most sought service anywhere. You can watch TV, connect to internet and practically, you can do it wherever you are because it's using the satellite connection! Remember to carefully read the terms before subscribing to any service!

As you may recall, awhile back ASHA decided to "go green" and migrate all of the Division member publications to an Internet format. If you've been following this transition, you may remember that the online publication of Perspectives was piloted with sub-groups of a few divisions in 2006 and 2007. Members gave input on their preferences. While there were differing views, the majority preferred the online option for several reasons. One was the convenience of the online option; those affiliates found online content easier to access and store than paper copies. Also cited was the ability to search content more easily and the ease with which prior issues can be accessed. Some affiliates noted that the electronic versions are often more accessible to people with disabilities who use assistive technology (e.g., screen readers) to access information. Finally, some affiliates preferred the online format for environmental reasons, understanding that some, but not all, affiliates will go on to print paper copies. Member feedback indicated that having both formats available was not a preferred option given the added costs associated with printing and mailing a paper copy in addition to providing online access.

After overloading my classes one fateful semester in my college days, I ended up dropping my algorithms course and never taking it again.
I'd like to finally fix this by doing some self study, but I'm wondering how best to approach it.
I've got a few algorithm texts, notably the CLRS book and Skiena's book, and links to various online sources.
Should I read both books cover to cover? Read one? Just check out some online lectures? How would you do it?
Edit: I had trouble finding a question like this, hence the post. Sorry for the dupe. Good info in that other question too.
Algorithms are mostly about intuition, and to get one you have to practice writing them.
Choose your favorite language, better an easy to use one (Python for example). And start by implementing the examples in the book, you will be surprised how much better you will understand things by implementing them. Try to modify the examples and try to add some new functionality to them. After you get familiar with the particular algorithm/data structure, go and do some exercises!
That's what I did, and after a lot of frustration I finally managed to learn it all pretty well.
I studied algorithms with the CLRS and found it to be great. Also search the internet for some interactive demonstrations of algorithms, there are plenty of them.
I would also recommend going to Project Euler as well. Especially in the forum, there is lots of algorithm discussions, and the problems encourage this pattern:

In an effort to further illuminate the entire filmmaking process, over the course of the next few months we will be covering all facets of production of the independent film Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party, from conception up through it's current festival run and eventual distribution.
We've said it before and we'll say it again - producing an independent film is a difficult process, made all the more difficult when the budget is small.
Stephen Tobolowsky's name may not leap off the page at you like a Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, or a Mel Gibson, but rest assured you've seen his work - probably dozens of times, in numerous films&#Array; Films like Mississippi Burning, Groundhog Day, Spaceballs, Sneakers, Memento, Thelma and Louise - The list literally goes on and on.
Director/Producer Robert Brinkmann has placed his cameras in front of Stephen as he prepares for, and hosts, his birthday party, capturing some amazing stories in the process. Essentially a series of monologues, the film is able to hold its grip on the viewer through the sheer power of Tobolowsky's abilities as a storyteller, as he tells tales as wide-ranging as a dolphin encounter off the California coast to being held at gunpoint while shopping in his hometown grocery store.
Each week, Brinkmann (who has worked as a cinematographer on films ranging from U2's Rattle & Hum to The Cable Guy) will take you behind the filmmaking process of this unique picture.
You can visit the official site for Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party here, and be sure to check back each week for a new journal entry&#Array;
Bon Jour from Montreal!
It's been quite a while since my last entry and many things have happened on the STBP front. Now that I have found some time to write again, I will do my best to update you on the events that transpired during my absence and keep you informed about current goings-on. From reactions to previous diary entries to good and bad festival experiences, new festival admissions and festival rejections, distribution offers and much, much more - events during the past four months have not slowed down. All the while I was too busy to report them, while working on the Tenacious D movie and experiencing havoc in my personal life. Let me start with the good and tell you just a little bit about a different movie: Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny. ()
The Amazing Liam Lynch
One film, which was at virtually every festival Stephen Tobolowsky's Birthday Party was at, is Jesus is Magic. Coincidentally, that film was directed by an extremely talented young director, Liam Lynch, who also directed the Tenacious D movie and ended up hiring me to shoot it for him. Neither one of us was aware of the other's movie and we met strictly as director and DP and hit it off. It wasn't until well into pre-production, when we realized that our small films had played next to each other all year. Liam, who is one of the nicest, most creative and multi-talented people I have ever met, was a joy to work with and is responsible for a film which I'm convinced will make every one of you who hasn't heard about Tenacious D yet into a die hard fan. We had a fabulous shoot, the kind of experience which makes all the difficult experiences you have to go through in this business worthwhile, or, as we liked to say on the set, "The best shoot ever!" I guess things just fall into place when you have Satan on your side&#Array; Check out the outstanding web site and look for a summer '06 release.
A Festival of Film Aficionados
I decided at the last minute to hop on a plane and attend the Festival des Filmes du Monde, the World Film Festival, in Montreal. The Montreal Film Festival is a truly independent festival, which offers a huge variety of films from all over the world. In my stay here, I met people from all over Canada and the United States, who come to Montreal with the explicit purpose of expanding their filmic horizons by finding films which they might otherwise never see. Between the regulars, who travel far and wide to attend, and the natives, who seems to relish the culture, attendance at most screenings was extremely good. Though we did absolutely no publicity for Montreal - there were no flyers or posters, and I just showed up at the last minute - there was as good of a turn out at our three screenings as at any other festival. It seemed to me that, rather than trying to figure out what's "hot" and following trends, the Montreal audience was intent on exploring and connecting with the unfamiliar.
The World Film festival is quite huge and difficult to get an overview of. I can only recommend to jump in and let yourself be surprised by what you find. 180 feature films and 148 shorts are shown in theaters all over town. At night there are open air screenings, and generally the crowds mix with the throngs of people who come there or live there and like to party. You can walk down the street in the middle of the night and feel like it's mid day in most other cities. What better place to come and show your film than to a town which loves its festivals and knows how to throw a party.
Charm Schmarm
I opted to stay in one of the many B&Bs in Montreal, which I thought would be cheaper and more charming than a hotel. The charm wears off a little, though, when you have to traipse through the kitchen in the morning, where the other guests are having breakfast, in order to reach the shower. Though I had been promised a "private" bathroom, they failed to inform me that it wasn't actually "in" my room. After a few days with only one towel, which could not be replaced because it was the only one for that room, I was ready to trade my charming garden room for a shoebox at the Hyatt. Though the panhandlers probably would have been happy to take Visa or Mastercard, the B&B was definitely not, and, after I pointed out a billing mistake, they were very unhappy about having to handwrite another bill. Have these guys not heard of computers?
Need to Know News
In the months during which I was gone, the film had also traveled to a few other festivals. Stephen went to Atlanta for the Atlanta Film Festival, which was both great and disappointing, at the same time. For weeks I had been on our fantastic publicist, Amy Gorton, to get Stephen on CNN. I didn't really think it would work. After all, why would they interview an actor who is not a household name for a film which has no distribution? But, being in Atlanta, the headquarters of the 24/7 news channel, was simply too tempting. It should come as no surprise to faithful readers of this diary that Amy came through - again - and booked Stephen not only on CNN, but on CNN radio as well. It was a sweet day for me to get up and watch Stephen on CNN during my breakfast before driving to the Pick of Destiny set.
Not Together
Unfortunately, the rest of the Atlanta experience was not as pleasant. Stephen had been asked to be on the jury for the festival and participate on a panel, to which he graciously agreed. I had requested a schedule for him so that we could plan our interviews and his visit with family around the requirements of the festival. Like every other simple request, this one was never answered and we didn't hear from anyone until two days before his departure, when it became all too clear that he couldn't possibly view all the films he was supposed to judge. Aside from the films the festival had scheduled in a way that no juror could watch them all, a number of conflicts had developed between our schedule, which had to advance in the absence of any input from Atlanta, and theirs. The festival seemed incapable of getting even the screeners out they had announced, let alone the extra ones we had requested. From what I heard, the festival was not a very organized affair and we had to suffer the ultimate indignity of having technical problems in the middle of our screening, during which Stephen actually got up to entertain the audience.
Bitch at Your Own Risk
I'm certain I will get some nasty emails from Atlanta for writing this. At least that was the reaction of the San Francisco Documentary Festival. After first sending me a glowing, "Just wanted to thank you once again for the pleasure and privilege of showing STEPHEN TOBOLOWSKY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY. Your film had the third largest turnout of the festival and a very enthusiastic reception." I received a somewhat less enthusiastic, "Well, if I'd read your blog before I sent my last email, I wouldn't have been nearly so effusive. Trashing us in public is so very not cool. Oh well, I guess you have to blame somebody for the lack of press interest here in SF. Most filmmakers -- gosh, all of them, in fact -- I've dealt with have been much more gracious, I dare say." As I pointed out to them, I had been very up front about my problems with the festival and lack of support (remember they had press screenings and wouldn't tell us which reporters attended, so we could follow up for press coverage, and they didn't manage to get much themselves) and complained repeatedly. Since I had given them plenty of opportunity to address my concerns, I thought it would be entirely appropriate to discuss this in my diary, as there would be very little reason to read it, unless I gave other filmmakers an honest impression of my festival experience.
The Atlanta experience was very different and much nicer. The problem for us was simply that it was rather disorganized. Also, Stephen ran into many people in Atlanta, including the reporters at CNN, who had no idea that there was a film festival going on only a few blocks away. I'll let him express this in his own words in this diary entry, which he dutifully filed back then:
Stephen's Diary
I had never spent any time in Atlanta before. It is like New York and Austin in that it is a "combination city". Like "combination skin" it is hard to figure out. Part of it is very old, part of it is moderately old, and large sections are just being built. Cities like these are filled with unexpected ironies. Vestiges of the slave trade stand side by side with CNN headquarters.
The festival is mainly taking place at a large 800-seat theatre called the Rialto. The area is heavily populated with streetwalkers and panhandlers. Perhaps that is why the attendance is sparse. The bums have developed an innovative twist. Instead of asking for loose change, they just ask for spare alcohol. This shows really advanced thinking and a creative step in time management.
Heat and humidity. These two words have affected hotel architecture. The Omni Hotel has a large, air conditioned courtyard. It extends several city blocks and has all sorts of food courts and Starbucks. The purpose is two fold. One - you never have to go outside - which can be a good thing. Two - the hotel does not have to have a "Ballroom" for events. They just hold the events in the Courtyard. This can be an irritating thing. If you consider there are always conventions in Atlanta you can also figure that the courtyard will always be filled with beer drinking conventioneers. The courtyard acts as a perfect conductor of sound, making it hard to sleep - not to mention all the hurt feelings of knowing that there is yet another party you haven't been invited to.
I got really used to the walk from the Omni Hotel to the Rialto Theatre (the primary film venue). To say attendance was sparse at some of the films was an understatement. The Rialto was an 800-seat theatre and there were about twenty people at each screening. A physics project could probably be conducted on the way bodies align themselves in an empty theatre. Patterns established themselves. People would clump with large distances in between clumps&#Array;like interstellar matter. People also felt more free to read books and use cell phones when they were confident they had room to stretch out.
There were many young men in Atlanta who shaved their heads. I could tell that this was an actual style choice as opposed to preparation for shock treatments at a local hospital. I used to consider this a fashion born of desperation. Bruce Willis and NBA players have popularized it. What good are mirrors? I honestly think most these men believe they looked like Vin Diesel. Most of them actually looked like cancer patients or waiters in a sea-food restaurant.
I spent some time in the Georgia woods. The wildlife was horrifying. They should put the tick on the new state nickel. Ticks will jump on you from trees. They will jump on you from bushes. They want your blood. They carry diseases. Deadly diseases. You are even warned not to crush them with your fingers because they are so vile and the microbes on them so small - you can get infected by smushing them. Ahhhhhhhhhh yeachhhhhh.
Don't be fooled by the Southern charm. Atlanta has found more ways to rip you off than New York. A baggage man in uniform at the hotel asked if I wanted help with the luggage. I said yes and he wheeled around his cart. He took the bags out of the car and pushed them ten feet to the door of the hotel. He said, "This is as far as I go. Someone else will help you to your room." He held out his hand. I tipped him and waited for his tag team partner to finish the job. I tipped him also.
We went to a restaurant that advertised "Free Validated Parking." I assumed this meant my parking would be free if I got a validation. But this was Atlanta. They charged me $4.75 for parking explaining that the validation was free but you still had to pay for parking.
The drink of choice in Atlanta was the large, large beer. The cup for this beer is a big as a human child's torso.
From the looks of it, everyone in Atlanta wears lanyards. Those are the strings around your neck that show your badge or ID or clearance level. And they wear them all the time. There was a function at the hotel and a man was there in a tux wearing his lanyard. A bad style choice on any day in any situation.
The people who run the festival here are all nice and full of energy. It was hard to figure that this fest has been around for 29 years... CNN asked me why I was in Atlanta. I told them about the festival... they were unaware - and the Rialto was only five blocks away. I would say more needs to be done on the awareness side. The screening itself was lots of fun and I had a great audience for my panel afterwards. Lots of interesting questions about theatre, television, and film. We even talked about college, which actually brought a tear to my eye. Here's to you, Jack Clay... a great man and educator.
Yin & Yang
There are many more things, which I will share with you in the upcoming installments of this diary. It's simply too much to catch up on everything in one week. There are new festivals, a complete rethinking of the approach to distribution, and upcoming events. What I will not go into detail about are the events in my personal life, since they have been made quite public already. I do want to say, though, that I have now experienced the other end of the publicists' universe. After working with our wonderful publicist on STBP for the past 9 months, I experienced just how unpleasant a bad publicist can be. Less than two weeks after I found out for the first time that my wife of 5 years was leaving, her eager publicists at PMK put out a press release to that effect. Apparently, the option of not commenting is entirely foreign to them, as they told her this "had to be done." Having this news released led to all of my friends and family finding out about it from the press instead of me. And if that wasn't enough, to make things even less pleasant, some genius at the PMK office failed to realize that when Mena moved out of the house, her fax number might have changed as well, so they kept sending me stacks of faxes of all the tabloid coverage of the beach vacation she went on with her Pilates instructor/boyfriend. Why they even think she's interested in that is beyond me. It seems to me as if the universe has brought the worst of the publicists into my life to restore balance and make up for the amazing Amy Gorton, who has been such an integral part of the success of this film.
Back On Track
In any case, now that I am finished with the photography on Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny and am settling into my new life, my focus is on the future and the plans for distribution of STBP. More on that next time&#Array;

text: Athabasca Tar Sands are not the topic of the conference (on urbanism) that I am attending but oil, I suspect, is financing it, as it finances pretty-much everything here. The subject of the meeting is the expansion of the University of Calgary into a now-undeveloped part of the City of Calgary known as the East Village. It's an interesting situation and raises again the question of how institutional buildings can be good urban neighbors.

ANNAPOLIS -- An assault weapons ban in Maryland propose by the Schaefer administration would be placed under the authority of the state Handgun Roster Board rather than the state police superintendent if amendments to be presented to the House Judiciary Committee this week are adopted.
The amendments were requested by Judiciary Chairman John S. Arnick, D-Baltimore County, and are supported by the governor. Mr. Arnick said he was acting in response to concerns by committee members about vesting the authority to ban weapons in a single law-enforcement officer.
"It takes all the power away from one man, which none of the opponents like," Mr. Arnick said.
The nine-member Handgun Roster Board, created in 1988 to decide which handguns may be sold in Maryland, includes representatives of the gun industry and gun users.

While A$AP Rocky's debut album LongLiveA$AP unfortunately leaked today, some vital information may have also leaked about Joey Bada$$ signing with Jay-Z's Roc Nation. During Joey's verse on the posse cut "1 Train," he raps, "Just got back to the block from a 6 o'clock with Jigga/And I'm thinking 'bout signing to the Roc/But my ni**as on the block still is signed to the rocks."
Though nothing has been confirmed, but this line does suggest that Joey and Jigga have met, and that a Roc Nation deal could be in the works. Could this be Jay-Z passing the torch to the next great Brooklyn MC? We'll have to wait and see if there is any truth behind Joey's bars.

The holidays are here, the kids are graduating, Dad's birthday's coming up, or maybe Friday has just finally rolled around. Whatever the occasion may be, you're feeling the urge to celebrate. But who has the budget to throw a big bash?
Good news: You can still throw a great party, and share a good time with friends and family without breaking the bank.
Here are six suggestions for ways to throw a budget-friendly party:
1. Don't waste money on invitationsSend digital invitations. You'll conserve paper and save money on postage. Plus, with the prevalence of mobile devices, a digital invitation is virtually guaranteed to reach guests on at least one of their many devices – smartphone, tablet, laptop or desktop!
2. Feast frugallyFood is the highlight of any gathering, but you don't have to drop a lot of dough on a big sit-down dinner in order to feed your guests well. Try an hors d'oeuvres or appetizer dinner that features an array of yummy finger foods. Or, get guests involved and fall back on that old standby, the potluck. Invite each guest to bring a seasonal dish; they'll feel involved and you'll have less work and lower costs.
3. Let them eat cupcakesCupcakes are a fun and always popular tradition. Rather than spend hours making homemade cupcakes – or spending a lot on premade ones – head over to the club store and purchase cupcakes with plain vanilla or chocolate icing. Take them home and add your own decoration.
4. Spice up your centerpiecesFloral arrangements can be pricey, especially if they feature out-of-season blooms. Instead of spending a lot of money on centerpieces that will die quickly or that you'll never use again, create your own by filling dishes with fresh fruits and nuts that can also serve as a snack for guests. Accent centerpieces with bows and some fresh springs of fragrant evergreens.
5. Make your spirits lightHard liquor is costly, so stick with lighter options like wine and beer. Many wine stores will offer a discount when you buy by the case. You can find one or two very good vintages for a reasonable price and stock up. Instead of strong cocktails, serve juice-based ones. The bright juice colors add a festive flair, and the fruit juice allows you to stretch your hard alcohol further.
6. Set the stageLighting and sound can create a perfect mood. For an evening soiree, dim the house lights, add some strategically placed light strands and play some music in the background.
For your next event, tap these savings secrets to help you balance your budget and avoid relying on credit usage to pull off a stupendous soiree. Your guests and credit will thank you in the long run.

This photo is of Broadway in the early 1970's, as you can see from the photo it is still not a pedestrian precinct, also in the back ground is the old ABC cinema and Lotus, and you can also see a Singer van dropping a delivery too. All these buildings on Broadway no longer exist today.

According to The Westerly Sun, Dr. Jeffrey Feldman, who is facing felony charges for driving under the influence, drug possession and attempting to escape from a police officer, among others, entered his pleas August 17, at a hearing in a New Hampshire court, following an incident in Tilton, New Hampshire earlier this summer. He pleaded not guilty to all misdemeanor charges, which included moving violations and resisting arrest. Felony cases, namely drug possession in the doctor's case, are not pleaded.
Feldman, 52, is an eye, nose and throat doctor at ENT Associates of Westerly, Rhode Island. He was stopped for speeding on June 16 by a New Hampshire state trooper who claims he was intoxicated, had cocaine on his person and attempted to flee when the officer tried to arrest him. After spending a night in Belknap County Jail, he posted bail and returned to Rhode Island. Since the incident, he has continued to practice at ENT and Westerly Hospital, according to the source.
The president-elect of the hospital's medical staff, Dr. Bill Conlin, told The Westerly Sun in a statement, "We take these allegations seriously and follow the developments with concern. As physicians, our primary interest is to assure the community that patient care is not compromised. On this count, we feel complete confidence in Dr. Feldman."
The newspaper reported that Feldman's lawyer filed a motion to bar any blood and Breathalyzer test results that immediately followed the doctor's arrest from being exhibited, which the judge will decide upon in a hearing set for October 9, when he will also be tried for the misdemeanor charges.
If you have been charged with driving under the influence or accused of drug possession in the Granite State, a New Hampshire DUI attorney can discuss your options with you and ensure that you receive the justice you deserve.

For years, women have been told that eating and drinking during labor will just make them vomit, make labor longer, or worse. But that restriction is starting to become an outdated maternity practice. New research shows that eating and drinking helps women during labor. And some hospitals have already changed their policy to allow this choice.
For most hospitals there are two main factors:
- Being low-risk
- Having a single baby instead of multiples.
As you plan your birth, ask your care provider about their policy regarding intake of food during long labor hours. Talking with your hospital, too, will tell you whether you can include eating and drinking during labor in your birth plan.
Most midwives understand the importance of keeping up your strength, and allow women to eat or drink at will.
According to Evidence-Based Birth, a recent review of 10 research trials[1] found significant benefits in eating and drinking. Those low-risk women with single babies who ate and drank at will had shorter labors than comparable women who weren't allowed anything by mouth.
Why does eating and drinking matter?
Labor is as demanding as running marathon. Would you run a marathon without ever drinking? Or eating?
Your uterus is an organ largely made of muscle tissue. By weight, it is the largest muscle in your body. And muscles need food to work hard for hours.
When we go too long without eating or drinking, we suffer from low blood sugar that makes us weak, fuzzy-thinking, irritable, or even unsure.
Consider this: first time labors are often at least eight hours (sometimes more).
Throughout all that time your uterus contracts hard to push baby through the birth canal. It only makes sense that it needs food or drink to keep working well.
A study[2] done in Iran showed that restricting fluids caused women stress and made labor harder. And another[3] found that women "felt out of energy," "had no more strength," and "felt hungry from going so long without eating."
So what's the reason for the restriction?
Back in the 1940s most women received general anesthetics or a morphine-induced "Twilight Sleep" for labor. A doctor found that a few (66 out of 44,000+) who had eaten or drank after getting these died from aspiration. So he concluded that restricting "nothing by mouth (NPO)" would prevent that, and it became a standard hospital practice.
But modern techniques are more sophisticated, the amount used is less, and the dosage is more precise.
Since 2007 the United Kingdom (UK) has allowed low-risk women to eat and drink throughout labor. They found that light meals and drinks for low-risk women help both labor and maternal satisfaction with their birth process.
More and more major health care organizations agree with the UK. These organizations recommend eating and drinking at will during labor :
- The World Health Organization (WHO)
- The American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM)
- NICE Clinical Guidance for the United Kingdom
- The Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada (SOGC)
And these organizations recommend drinking water, soda, black coffee, tea, juice, and sports drinks (but don't allow eating food):
- The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
- The American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA)
What should I eat or drink?
Light foods are best—carbohydrates give slow-release energy that can sustain you for hours.
Here are some suggestions you can include on your hospital bag checklist:
- fruit
- light soups
- toast
- light sandwiches (no large slices of meat)
- juice
- water
Babycenter in the UK suggests:
- toast, naan or chapati
- sandwiches
- cereals
- pasta
- yoghurt
- plain biscuits or crackers
- soup
Hospitals using the NPO policy are still common in the United States.
But as people advocate for themselves, this will change.
You can state in your birth plan that you plan on eating and drinking at will throughout labor.
Perhaps your birth plan will be the one that helps your hospital shift from outdated restrictions to allowing women what they need to do their best during labor and birth.

Let's Talk contains spoilers
Synopsis (Goodreads):
Everybody gets to be supermodel gorgeous. What could be wrong with that?
Tally Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait. Not for her driver's license — for turning pretty. In Tally's world, your sixteenth birthday brings an operation that turns you from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to have a really great time. In just a few weeks Tally will be there.
Anticipating this happy transformation, Tally meets Shay, another female ugly, who shares her enjoyment of hoverboarding and risky pranks. But Shay also disdains the false values and programmed conformity of the society. She'd rather risk life on the outside and urges Tally to defect with her.
When Shay runs away, Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world — and it isn't very pretty. The authorities offer Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.
Well, it wasn't as amazing as everyone made it out to be.
I think the reason this book did so amazing is because it is all about loving you for yourself.
While that is a great message that I do encourage, that does not make this a good book.
It wasn't bad, it was enough to keep me interested and finishing it very quickly for a 400 page book.
One of the reasons I disliked this book was because of the main character, Tally. I understand that she grew up in this community where it is normal to think yourself ugly but come on. She is always insulting herself; you know what: go right ahead. But that doesn't mean she can go around and insult Shay constantly because Tally feels bad about herself.
How does Shay even stay friends with her? If Shay could understand the wrongness, I believe Tally could have to.
Tally has the chance to leave with Shay and go to a place where people are ugly always and forever. Well that just doesn't sit well with Tally.
So Tally stays behind and decides to become pretty. But they tell her that she can't until she catches Shay and everyone else who ran away to stay ugly.
One thing I like about this was the new technology. I like in the beginning when Tally saw Peris and she jumped off the building with the catcher.
I also like the part when they ride on the roller coaster with their hover boards.
The parts I didn't like was anything that had to do with Tally and her having to actually think about her world. The parts when she was on the roller coaster, running from the people who make you pretty (I can't remember the name); and when she first ran off to see Peris.
Just a question:
- If you go to Pretty town when you turn Pretty, do your children live by themselves in Uglyville for 70% of their adolescence? Because only Pretties have children.
And David... what to say... So Shay was jealous of Tally for being with David. Well, to be honest, that was deserved, but David just didn't do it for me.
The story I'd like to see is of David's parents.
Come on people, they unprettied themselves and are in love! How can you not what that story?
I like the little twists. Especially the ending because would you really see that coming?
And finally, the noodles.
And then this flew through my head because when I was younger I remember having to clean this:
That's why you always add water.

Some interesting deck layout plans include the one with two-stories, one with an open space, partial pergola covering a hot tub and a built-in sauna space and a deck design with a separated fire pit and conversation area. All of these and many other plans are available online for a fee as of 2016.
One interesting deck plan includes two stories. This plan is designed for a two-story home with the first level of the deck outside of the second story. Stairs descend half of a story, and then there is a second deck area with a wide open space underneath the decks. The upper most deck is shaped like a square while the second, smaller deck is octagon shaped.
Another interesting deck layout includes an open space, partial pergola covering a hot tub and a built-in storage space. This deck is designed for a single story home with the decking built on the ground. In the open space area, there is built-in wooden seating. The hot tub and sauna are placed next to each other.
An interesting layout for a deck includes a separated fire pit and conversation area. The conversation area and the fire pit are both octagon shaped. There is a single step up to reach the conversation area and three steps down for the fire pit.

The swirling illustrations created by artist James R. Eads aim to explore humankind's relationship to the natural world.
The vibrant multi-colored pieces of art reflect a world run by imagination in which space is combined with architecture, animals are used to reflect music and the moon sits peacefully among nature and man-made objects. The "swirling" effect the artist uses to represent the body of a dragon and wind in the night sky is clearly reminiscent of Van Gogh's 'The Starry Night.' The use of these "swirls" are both inspired by and a salute to the famous artist. Based in LA, the artist is heavily influenced by music and is sought-after to create posters for popular rock bands.
The swirling illustrations created by James Eads beautifully represent a world that exists solely in his imagination.

The large and wide ranging wholesale sector seeks constant efficiency improvement in order to compete with rival merchants and high volume retailers. The need to operate efficiently and minimise cost are key to survival in a low margin, commoditised marketplace where availability, price and service are the key drivers.
WMS systems for this sector must offer the stability to cope with volatile conditions like fluctuating throughput and storage needs caused by industry dynamics. Seasonality, long lead times for outsourced manufactured goods and speculative buying patterns place a strain on administration systems and physical resources. These and other factors require advanced integration to merchandising systems and extensive warehouse controls over batch and product availability

If you or a friend/family member has a real and active US facebook account then you can make $100 for literally 10 minutes of work.
I'm paying $100 to make a facebook page and post some health ads on that page. I don't need your account information so you're account is 100% safe.
I recommend that you contact a family/friend who doesn't advertise on facebook.
Here is a checklist to know if you qualify:
- You live in the US
- Facebook account is more than a year old
- Real friends and active
- Don't have a suspended ad account
- Have a paypal account to receive payment
Here is the process:
- I use teamviewer to connect with you and setup the page (less than 5 minutes)
- I add my card to the page for the ads
- you get paid $50 to paypal right away
- 3 days later I'll reconnect to properly stop the ads and remove the card
- You get another $50 immediately
This is the easiest $100 you can ever get and I'm looking for many accounts! Limit one per household.
P.S. You can tell your friends about this and take a cut of the payment.
I'll be running health ads that begin to push facebook fitness ad limits. For example, Facebook doesn't want health ads to show a "perfect body image" or talk about losing a lot of weight quickly.
Stretching these rules a little bit result in high profits but they are risky so I like to work with many different accounts and do it on a small scale on each account mixed in with fully compliant ads. Also, I only run ads for a few short days on each account to limit the chance of suspension of your advertising abilities.
There is a risk of losing the advertising function of your facebook account (it has happened 5 out of 23 times). Only work with me if you accept the risk that you may lose the ability to advertise until you contact support and sort out the issue.
If you don't want to risk your account then you can get a family member who would never use their account to advertise.
I DO NOT want to buy facebook accounts. Facebook account suppliers please don't contact me.
PM me your Skype info or post it here to speak further.
-If this is in the wrong section please let me know. I couldn't find a section that was a better fit for this thread.-

Years following year 0 were designated AD, for the Latin anno Domini, "in the year of the Lord. Years counting backward before year 0 came to be designated BC, before Christ."

Weights & Measures Tips For Consumers
Getting What You Pay For
Q. Why
Weights & Measures?
Almost everything we buy is sold by weight, volume, length, count, or measure. Think of examples--a dozen eggs, a gallon of milk, a liter of wine, a yard of cloth, a pound of hamburger, 128 cu. ft. of firewood.
Without standard measurements, it would be difficult to do even simple things like use cookbooks or buy carpeting, laundry detergent, and fabric.
Q. How
do we know we are getting what we pay for?
Weights and measures officials work in agriculture departments, consumer protections offices, and other state and local government agencies.
These men and women use highly accurate equipment to inspect scales, meters, scanning equipment and packaged products at supermarkets. They also inspect weighing and measuring equipment and packages at warehouses, packing plants, feed mills, shipping companies, lumber yards, and gasoline stations. They act as a third party to help maintain fairness and keep the marketplace in balance.
What does "Net Weight" on a package tell me?
In many stores, the electronic or computerized scales used at the check-out counter are set to automatically deduct the weight of the packaging. On other scales, the sales clerk must adjust the scale, setting it under the "0" mark to deduct the packaging materials.
Scales must be placed so you can see the weighing process. If you have a question about a packaged item, you have a right to have the package weighed again before you buy. Make sure the weight of the packaging has been deducted.
Weights and measures officials often visit stores to inspect and reweigh prepackaged products. The same officials are required by law to check the accuracy of all commercial weighing and measuring devices at least once each calendar year. If you see a weighing or measuring device that does not have a dated seal from the current year, or the previous year, contact the Massachusetts Division of Standards at (617) 727-3480 for assistance. You will be helping yourself and your neighbors.
can I do to lessen the chance of being cheated?
Second: Make sure the scale shows
a zero condition before anything is placed on it. The weigher
may enter information that will cause the scale register a minus sign
on the display. This is called "entering the tare", which
is a process of deducting the weight of the packaging.
Fourth: State law states that you have the right to have a pre-package item weighed again in your presence. If a scale showes a zero on the display with nothing on it, and you place a pre-packaged item on that scale, the scale should show a weight that is greater than the net weight stated on the package. This greater weight is called the gross weight, and is the sum of the tare weight, plus the net weight.
If you have any questions about how a store weighs or measures its products, ask the manager for information first. He or she should answer your questions.
If the problem is not resolved, contact your local weights and measures office, or the Massachusetts Division of Standards at (617) 727-3480 for assistance.
Make sure the scale shows a zero or minus sign before anything is weighed. Pay ONLY for the product. NOT for the packaging.
If you have any questions about how a store weighs or measures products, ask the manager for information first. He or she should answer your questions.
If the problem is not resolved, contact your local weights and measures office for advice or assistance.

Americans like to believe they do not tolerate discrimination against blacks, gays, women, the elderly, or the disabled — we wear that belief as a badge of pride. So why does the persecution of Christians go ignored? Here are 9 things everyone needs to know about the persecution and discrimination of this religious group:
1. Christian persecution is the largest-scale human rights issue in the world.
According to a report released in March by Gordon-Conwell Seminary, one in four of the world's Christians live in countries hostile to their faith. At any given moment, 100 to 200 million Christians around the world are being persecuted for their faith. The Center for the Study of Global Christianity reports that 100,000 Christians die every year (11 every hour) because of their faith.
Presently, Christians in more than 60 countries face persecution from their governments for their beliefs, according to the U.S. State Department. This is the biggest human rights issue in the world, but seems to be the least reported on, talked about, or protested against.
2. The world's largest country is the greatest persecutor.
In China, persecution against Christians is at all-time highs. In Zhejiang Province, crosses have been removed or demolished from more than 300 churches. In Henan Province, restrictions and arrests are made at Christian meetings. Last month, a pastor was sentenced to 12 years in prison for "gathering a crowd to disrupt public order." Authorities have explicitly banned Christians from sharing the gospel with anyone under 18 years old. In these and many other ways, Chinese authorities wage an ongoing campaign to curtail Christianity's influence.
3. Iran's many abuses include persecution of Christians.
The United Nations has found that Christians are persecuted more than ever in Iran. At least 49 Christians are presently held in Iranian jails. The lawyer representing them was recently denied access to even meet with them. To claim Christian faith can mean harassment and brutal beatings, and charges of "coercion" (for suspicions of evangelism) can lead to arrests and imprisonment. American citizen and pastor Saeed Abedini was sentenced in 2012 to eight years in an Iranian prison on charges related to his Christian faith. This Christmas, his wife and two young sons face another year without their husband and father.
4. Radical Islamic Jihadists target Christians for persecution.
In Iraq, ISIS has targeted Christians for discrimination or even death. They have raped Christian women, sold them into slavery, and caused many to flee. Where there were once 1.2 million Christians in Iraq, there are now less than 200,000. Some of the oldest Christian churches in the world have been abandoned because of ISIS attacks. Cities where Christians have continually worshipped for almost 2000 years no longer have a Christian presence. Likewise, in Kenya, Al Shabaab recently executed 19 Christians and actively seeks to persecute more Christians.
5. Persecution impacts the entire family.
These millions of discriminated Christians face similar realities. For men, discrimination means living with violence and intimidation. Their houses and businesses are raided, and they are often arrested and held without charge. For women, discrimination means experiencing vulnerability and being beaten and raped. They are left without a place to live and no income to provide for their children. For children, discrimination means a life of uncertainty. Some are orphaned; many are denied education. Socially excluded, they are doomed to menial jobs.
6. Discrimination against Christians exists in American culture and government.
When Franklin Graham, Billy Graham's son, spoke out in support of the ban on gay marriage in North Carolina's 2012 election, he says the IRS audited the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan's Purse, a Christian relief ministry of which he is president. Discrimination of Christians is also endemic in television and movies. Though over 100 million Americans attend church each Sunday (a practice unlike anything else in America), representation of basic Christian practices in pop culture, where it happens at all, remains ill informed and negatively biased.
7. Christians are being persecuted in academia.
Since Gordon College's president co-signed a letter asking President Obama for an exemption from an executive order on hiring LGBT people, this evangelical college outside of Boston has faced discrimination from the city of Salem and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges. Salem terminated Gordon's contract to manage their Old Town Hall, and the NEASC is questioning whether Gordon's policy on homosexual practice as a forbidden activity (the historic Christian norm) is in violation of their standards for accreditation. Likewise, many Christian scholars feel they must hide their faith if they are to find or keep their jobs, and Christians are under-represented in many campuses nationwide.
8. Discrimination against religious people is not tolerated — except for routine discrimination of Christians.
Here is one recent case in point: a student petition at the University of California-Berkeley sought to stop Bill Maher from speaking at the school's fall commencement. Maher is called a "blatant bigot" in the Change.org petition for his recent remarks criticizing Islam as violent and anti-women. Yet, there has never been a boycott of Maher for his discriminatory statements against Christianity. He has called God a "psychotic mass murderer" for drowning the world in the Great Flood. (He also mocked the whole concept of religion in his 2008 movie Religulous.) On his HBO show, Maher regularly ridicules various Christian beliefs, but this has never resulted in a call to have him removed as a speaker.
9. Christian kids are persecuted in American schools.
Children who have Christian beliefs are increasingly threatened, punished, and silenced. Consider two recent cases: in Sacramento, California, a 12-year-old girl shared invitations with two classmates to a "biblical creation" event — and was "forced to confess her wrongheadedness about evolution." She was called to the principal's office, reprimanded, and directed to write an "Incident Report" confessing her wrongdoing. The acting principal then summoned her back to the office several more times to re-write her confession until it was satisfactory. Just last month, officials in Long Island, New York denied Liz Loverde the right to form a Bible club and join 30 other existing student-led activities at her school.

It's pretty but there is just too much glitter in it. And I'm oily so... just no. The cap doesn't like to stay on and the brush is scratchy. They should repackage this into a jar with a sifter, and take out the sparkles.

i like this product for contouring and highlighting but i have the one in warming glow so its a bit darker than my skin tone so it works well as a contour. sometimes i feel as if I'm not getting enough out of the bottle as i should be so I unscrew the lid and dab some of the powder on the brush to add more colour. When you open it though be careful to open over a sink as they do put a lot of product in the bottle It sparkles a lot and i have gotten heaps of compliments so overall i like it but not for what its meant to do.

I guess this works for those who likes sparkles all over their face. Otherwise, I can't see how it can look flattering on anyone. Perhaps with costume make-up or in a really dark club?
Overall, I would not recommend this veil. I don't think it's very illuminating...just very shimmery. It doesn't look good in natural light and unlike other illuminators, it LOOKS like you applied shimmer all over your face.
If you're looking for a good illuminator, I'd recommend Clinique's Up-Lighting as it actually creates a glow for your skin.

The highlighter I REALLY wanted was Nars, but I wasn't willing to pay that much, so I bought this....and I got what I paid for. :/ This powder is barely noticeable. It's pretty much invisible.

Love this stuff, I love shimmer, but this isn't too much. I just don't like how it comes out of the brush. It would be better if it were less expensive, but I will repurchase :-)

YOu know how everyone goes on about the way Guerlain meteorites makes your face glowy with JUST the right amount of sheen without looking too sweaty/oily/glittery?
I've tried it & despite the hyped-up praise heaped upon the product - it was a disappointment.
This, on the other hand, is seriously the BEST discovery in cosmetics that I have come across so far. It has the PERFECT amount of glow and sheen...never tried anything like it. I get compliments I never got before...thank you Physicians Formula. I cannot understand how this is not more loved. Everyone should get out there and buy one NOW.
DIRECTIONS: don't use it as a setting powder as the glitter's too over-powering. This is a "veil" and should only be used to set your entire base makeup (after foundation, concealer & powder). This way, you apply less and get the PERFECT GLOW of fine beige shimmers. Just watch your cheekbones pop. It is so natural that I vowed to go buy another 2 at least. Another note; this is not a pin-point highlighter (e.g. cheekbones, nasal bridge, philtrum), it is an all-over highlighter veil so should be used sparingly across the entire face.
Ladies, you will not be disappointed. Move over, Guerlain!

I think this is being discontinued. WHY? The package is perfect to place in a purse, brush is great. and it leaves a beautiful dust of shimmer that at my age, some of it does me good-not a disco ball but a pretty shine
why why why discontinue? so I went and bought two. hope it's freshI
i'm keeping in dark cool place
i don't understand why this and other drugstore. brands are discontinuing some great products and redesigning the packages, something as simple as the old tortoise shell round smooth compact powder has been turned into a cheap brown plastic cumbersome package- who thought of this?
if ivory soap and johnson's baby shampoo has stood the test of time, why can't these. I am so tired of going to look for something perfect and that someone in a marketing department wants to change and conjured up somtheing to get promoted!!

First of all I hate the packaging so I never use the brush.
I mix my own mineral wear foundation shade using 2 shades of Mineral Wear� Talc-Free Mineral Loose Powder. Translucent Light and Buff Beige. I mix them in roughly equal amounts, in my MMU bowl and here comes the magic part. While the blend of the two colors above give me exactly the color of MMU i'm looking for, it is a pretty flat, matte look which sometimes makes me look more tired than I am. I'm not a blush wearing person so I needed something to warm up my overall tone.
In comes Mineral Wear� Talc-Free Illuminating Veil� in Nude Glow. I remove the screw off container top and the sifter and scoop an amount about twice the size of this capital letter "O" into my approximate teaspoon sized Loose Powder mix. I mix it really really well so that it's all blended and Voila! I have my perfect warm glowy but natural MMU. I look so much fresher and even younger with this mix that I don't think I can try anything else. It goes perfectly with my Maybelline - Color Sensational - Park Ave. Peach lipstick which is my favourite lipstick colour ever!!! and my PF Shimmer Strips Custom Bronzer, Blush & Eye Shadow in Vegas Strip-light bronzer used as eyeshadow.

I was so disappinted by this product. First of all, packaging usually isn't a major deal for me, but the packaging on this is so terrible that it's pretty much a deal breaker. It is supposed to be an on-the-go type powder with built in sifter and attached brush, but the brush is so stiff, it scratched my skin, and i found it was impossible to get the right amount of product out of the sifter. The powder itself is not subtle enough for my light skin tone. The glitter in this is way too obvious. In the trash it goes :(

text: Panama City: The expanded Panama Canal is expected to bring in over $2 billion in annual revenue by 2021, official reports showed. The canal's larger lane, made to accommodate gargantuan Neopanamax container cargo ships, was inaugurated on Sunday, witnessed by thousands of Panamanians and representatives from the China Ocean Shipping Company(COSCO), whose ship made history by becoming the first to sail through the expanded waterway, Xinhua news agency reported. At the ceremony, Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela presented COSCO with an award commemorating the historic event, and received in return a model of the Chinese vessel. The Chinese cargo ship, renamed Cosco Shipping Panama in honour of the event, is the first of some 160 vessels that have booked their passage through the canal, the state-run Panama News Agency reported on Sunday citing the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) as saying. The canal's expansion work, which began in 2006, was delayed by the 2008 financial crisis for some two years. Its total cost reached at least $5.5 billion, the canal authority said, believing the investment will be recouped. The canal will have more precise mid-term projections in another quarter, once the routes of Neopanamax ships through the canal and services are normalized, ACP's financial chief Francisco Miguez said.

Computational modelling of biological processes and systems has witnessed a remarkable development in recent years. The search-term (modelling OR modeling) yields over 58000 entries in PubMed, with more than 34000 since the year 2000: thus, almost two-thirds of papers appeared in the last 5–6 years, compared to only about one-third in the preceding 5–6 decades.
The development is fuelled both by the continuously improving tools and techniques available for bio-mathematical modelling and by the increasing demand in quantitative assessment of element inter-relations in complex biological systems. This has given rise to a worldwide public domain effort to build a computational framework that provides a comprehensive theoretical representation of integrated biological function—the Physiome.
The current and next issues of this journal are devoted to a small sub-set of this initiative and address biocomputation and modelling in physiology, illustrating the breadth and depth of experimental data-based model development in biological research from sub-cellular events to whole organ simulations.

After which, surgeon establishes, regardless of whether any reconstructive function remains remaining to get done. Interior section of damaged part needs to be fastened following which, a surgeon will address the broken spot along with the support of tough layer. This way a plastic surgeon commonly conducts an procedure.

text: Many years ago when I went to school in the Bay area, a company called Granny Goose made unusual, thick corn chips (called, I think, Native American corn chips) that came in a shiny silver bag. My father was obsessed with them and I always had to bring a bunch home to Boston for him. The last time I was out there I couldn't find any. Are they still around, and if so, can you suggest a place to buy them within striking distance of Palo Alto? Thanks in advance!

Goals are like a map. You get out the map, plot your journey and off you go, hoping to reach the place you intended to go. Sometimes you end up in a different place and that's okay. With art, things have a way of evolving on their own journey.
Once I set a goal, I then think about the steps I need to take to get me there. After all, a goal with no action is just a word.
So here we go:
- Finish my new doll costume pattern
- Make a fox hound to go with my fox figure
- Finish my Steampunk journal
- Start my Spring journal
- Get 500 more followers on my blog
- Write for other blogs
You see? Goals are the start of the journey; the map. Now I will fill in the map, with a few steps towards those goals. It was Confucius who said "A journey of a thousand miles starts with the first step."
What are your goals for your creative self?
