What's interesting about the law is that is was the result of lobbying by the Illinois Coalition of Community Blood Centers to increase the number of potential blood donors by allowing people to donate blood within a year of getting tattoos or piercings. The blood will still undergo rigorous testing, but abolishing the current year-long wait will no longer discourage the tattooed and pierced from donating -- and, overall, no longer make people feel like social pariahs.
Nice. I've been annoyed by the 12 month waiting period between getting a new tattoo and giving blood pretty much since I got my first tattoo. I have a semi-rare blood type and actually like to give blood. However, I also plan to continue getting tattoos (probably at least annually) for the near term.
I'm glad to see some lawmakers initiating a change. Hopefully Illinois will start a trend.

How to edit newborn photos in Lightroom
One of the most precious, and at times challenging, portraits any photographer can take is newborn photography. You will need to a dose of patience but a larger dose of editing skills. Most photographers find that Lightroom will work perfectly for this type of photography. Its tools are ideally suited to making the necessary edits while saving time.
In most cases, the easiest part of a newborn photo session will be posing the baby for their picture. After all, newborns sleep a lot, and you can position them as you like for the picture. However, newborns also often arrive with minor skin imperfections typical in the days following birth. No worries! Lightroom's tools make it relatively straightforward to end up with the flawless photo your clients (and you) want.
Here are some tips to help you along:
We recommend you start with slightly overexposing your shot. Overexposure will brighten the baby's skin to give it a more natural, glowing appearance. If you over expose the shot, you'll be able to adjust it quickly during the editing process.
To set the exposure, open the Histogram page. Go to the exposure setting and play around with the Stop. You'll likely need also to add a little Fill Light as well. Play around with both to achieve what you want.
We recommend shooting RAW because it helps maintain the color tones close to their natural tones making it easier for you during the editing process
Adjusting skin tones is par for the course, even with these newborns.The HSL sliders in Lightroom are essential. You have two options for making skin tone corrections: you can adjust each color individually, or you can use Lightroom's Targeted Adjustment Tool to change element: saturation, luminance, and hue, and Luminance. Some photographers find prefer to adjust the White Balance to get a more accurate skin tone. However, if that doesn't work, then use the Targeted Adjustment Tool. Move over the part of the skin on the image you'd like to correct. Click, hold, and adjust by moving the mouse vertically. You should see the sliders changing while you move the mouse.
It can sometimes be helpful to make the adjustment, then step away from the image for a while to have a better perspective on the color. Staring at the same picture, same spot, and colors can make it difficult or tricky sometimes to discern a difference!
To reduce or remove the redness so common in newborn skin, you can try the following:
- Adjust the hue using the mouse to change the red and orange.
- Move color sliders to the right to affect brightness.
- If you need to change the saturation, then lower the mouse to reduce saturation.
While still on Histogram, you can adjust clarity or contrast of a photo. When it comes to newborn photography, these two can be critical in the overall feel and look of the picture to achieve the effect most people come to expect in a newborn photo because they lend themselves to an ethereal, softly focused look - especially in a curled-up, sleeping baby! These sliders can help you adjust and achieve that look in an image.
Two things to keep in mind. The contrast slider can sharpen the contrast to an image's edges. The clarity slider, on the other hand, when adjusted down allows you to create more of that "creamy" factor which makes newborn images so dreamy! Finding the right balance is important if you want to create that soft focus effect typical with newborn pictures!
Some photographers prefer to adjust the contrast by using the Tone Curve tool instead because it allows for more precision during the adjustment. It can be a little trickier to do sometimes. So if you're not achieving the results you want with the Tone Curve tool, we recommend you try the clarity and contrast tools. As always, use whichever is most comfortable for you - that's the beauty of digital photography and the ease of Lightroom and other photo editing software programs!
Once you arrive at a balanced look you love in Lightroom, you can use their fabulous Presets to save the look for future editing. The amount of time you save will be valuable! Once you have some practice using Lightroom for newborn photos, we recommend creating a set of various looks you like and saving them as Presets. On your next editing job, try them out. And of course, you can use our Newborn Collection for Lightroom and Photoshop, that we especially created for Newborn photography. It can simplify your time and editing hours.
Practice can make perfect images or close to perfect! Practice with Lightroom when you're not under a time crunch or working on a client project. Take some pictures and play around with them in Lightroom. We recommend you use different looks and different images to broaden your experience. While it's an invaluable tool for photographers, Lightroom can also be a lot of creative fun. Give it a go!

Carolers sang and marshmallows roasted. The smell of bonfires and evergreen trees lingered across downtown Fargo, while visitors wandered into a parking lot that had been transformed into a winter wonderland for the Christkindlmarkt event. You can measure the success of an event in many ways, here are some of our favorites:
Bringing in the traditional elements of a German inspired Christkindlmarkt, the event was filled with mulled wine, live music, art demonstrations, and booths with makers of gifts and treats. Like the markets of Europe, we encouraged visitors to take time to slow down during what can be a busy holiday season. Christkindlmarkts are focused on spending time with friends and family both indoors and outdoors. On average, visitors spent one to two hours at our event, eating, drinking, shopping, or just being.
Folkways aims to bring people together from ages 8 to 80 in multigenerational settings. From crafts for kids to polka dancing, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Looking after children between the ages of 10 to 14, ensuring they had everything they needed. I taught them how to play guitar, I do so still regularly. I also taught them how to use stage lighting and electronics, along with the sound equipment. I worked with some children that have wanted to make bands so I helped them with learning other instruments and recording their music to put onto a CD. I also created the covers for the CD's.

Trekkers, an outdoor-based mentoring organization based in Thomaston, has accepted 40 new 7th grade students into the Teen Trekkers program. Trekkers' unique model follows students over a six-year period that starts when students are in the 7th grade and ends at high school graduation. Through an extensive network of mentors and community leaders, Trekkers connects young people with caring adults through expeditionary learning, community service and adventure-based education.
Trekkers then divided the 40 new students evenly into two separate teams based on school and gender balance. Each team has its own separate program and educational expedition each year throughout their school experience. The two groups, Team Osprey and Team Albatross, will operate independently from one another; each with their own assigned Program Manager, as well as their own meeting and expedition schedules over the entire six years.
For two weekends in May, Trekkers offered these 7th grade students the opportunity to explore Acadia National Park, with a traditional wilderness and adventure component. Students and adults who participated in this expedition took part in a pre-trip, three-week orientation program where they were involved in team-building initiatives, small group discussions and an extensive canoe orientation. While at Acadia, each team went hiking, rock-climbing and canoeing and was given a chance to share their experience in small group discussions throughout the weekend. The goal of the Teen Trekkers program is to provide a shared wilderness experience for students and adult leaders as a way to lay the foundation for ongoing relationships throughout the rest of their time in Trekkers.
One student shared, "I realized that I really don't talk a lot even when I have a huge opportunity to, and because of being here I've been more open with everybody." Another student wrote, "At some points, it was scary because of new people and surroundings, but because of the people here being so nice and thoughtful, I thought it was amazing."
Eligible students who complete the 7th grade Teen Trekkers program are invited to participate in every program offered to their Trekkers class for their remaining years in middle school and high school, as long as they are enrolled in some kind of formal education. Each year, the students collectively plan, design and implement an experiential learning expedition that incorporates five educational components.
To learn more about Trekkers or its expeditionary learning programs, please call (207) 594-5095 or visit www.trekkers.org. Trekkers is a non-profit outdoor-based mentoring program that connects young people with caring adults through expeditionary learning, community service and adventure-based education. This year, Trekkers will serve more than 240 7th through 12th grade students from the communities of Cushing, Owls Head, Rockland, South Thomaston, St. George and Thomaston.

Learn how a Canadian city government created a data-sharing hub for its city systems across all different governmental departments and achieved a common view of all shared information and entities.
The original mode of operation at the city government was characterized by data duplication in different departments and their systems, ineffective data sharing between systems, a lack of formal data governance, and duplication of business logic.
The city government aimed to overcome these limitations by implementing an effective Master Data Management solution with Ataccama.
Data duplication: Duplicated data was a common issue across all main data entities and departments. Some attributes were shared, while others were specific to the department or system.
Ineffective data sharing: Difficulty and a lack of formal processes to share information across departments in a seamless manner. Shared data was not synchronized with the original source of the data, and additional checks and updates were required.
Lack of formal data governance: Given informal data sharing procedures and the fact that common entities are authored and managed in multiple processes, the lack of formal data governance presented a problem when trying to share data among departments.
Application/function/business logic duplication: A common resource for accessing data did not exist, and the replication of function and business logic to support local instances of the data was necessary. Data was replicated even at a local level.
Complicated service structure: Hundreds of municipal services within a dozen departments—some of them similar from the operational perspective. A substantial number of these services relate directly to data management and IT deployment.
Complex organization: Services share similar data models with common entities and similar attributes, but some values are local to the specific service. This caused an inclination to replicate common data entities and their attributes.
Corporate applications: Large software solutions deployed without support for data sharing between various systems.
Distributed IT governance: Each department assumed responsibility for managing the acquired data, as well as deploying and supporting its own services.
Ataccama's solution created a data-sharing hub for the city systems (across all different governmental departments) by implementing transactional Master Data Management (MDM) for all identified entities. The solution enabled an efficient and effective common view of all shared information and entities, ensuring consistency and completeness of this information while avoiding redundancy.
Ataccama Master Data Center (MDC) – a high-performance platform that makes consistent, accurate, and up-to-date data instantly available across a broad range of enterprise applications and systems.
Ataccama DQ Issue Tracker (DQIT) – a user-friendly web app offering manual correction of data quality issues that cannot be resolved automatically.
Central data model: Defining a common central data model for core, shared entities in the city systems.
Automatic cleansing and consolidation: Enabling automatic processing of all information in the MDM, and ensuring a common view of this data for all systems. All entities go through cleansing and enriching processes to improve the quality of the data, and a matching and merging process to create golden records for the mastered entities. This maximizes the quality of data used in all processes for all departments and systems.
Easy management of an MDM repository: Enabling an MDM repository for storing master data (including the original source data, i.e., instance data) to be effectively managed and shared across all city systems.
Compatibility with legacy systems: Enabling batch interface development to interact with legacy systems.
Application integrations: Leveraging centralized logic, modular components, and shared services—e.g., validations, DQ firewalls, value providers. Reducing application size and complexity by simplifying integrations.
Service-oriented architecture: Providing a set of native core services to interact with the data in MDM, thus complying with the SOA requirement.
Manual issue resolution: Using Ataccama ONE's MDC and DQIT to enable the correction and control of data quality at an instance level, with the ability to propagate results to the source level. The solution offers administration, reporting, advanced management, and workflow for issues based on predefined rules.
Data monitoring: Providing a shared presentation tool and a dashboard for data quality monitoring.
Security: Centralizing security and privileges when accessing data in MDM.
Scalability: Scalability of the proposed SOA using adequate load balancing, and reliance on web services for common operations.
Easy access to information: Alignment with the Open Data concept by enabling easier access to information.

Emory Reflects on Youth Homelessness and The Homestretch/
Emory University's Homeless Outreach and Awareness Project is a student group that strives "to break the social barriers and prejudices associated with homelessness." As part of their year round programming, the organization screened The Homestretch on campus, pairing the viewing with a discussion about the issues raised in the film. From this came an incredible reflection written by junior Tracy Li, which we've featured below.
By Tracy Li
Homelessness. Close your eyes and think of the word homelessness. What is the picture that first pops into your head? What are the stereotypes that you first think of? What are the feelings that you first experience? At a group reflection that I was participating in, we were asked these questions. The responses that people gave varied but an answer that I didn't hear was that they had imagined a young person. The issue of homelessness in youth is a problem that not many people are actively aware about. Yet youth make up a significant portion of the homeless population. In fact, children under 18 account for 39% of the homeless population*. The documentary, "The Homestretch", shines light on the experience of three distinct young adults in their struggle against being homeless. What is important to note though is that this movie documents the stories of just three homeless youth. Their reasons for becoming homeless, the obstacles they face, and the success they did or did not have at rising out of homelessness is just a slice of the overall picture. This documentary serves to emphasize the point that the face of homelessness can't be categorized into one neat box. In fact, the story of homelessness is extremely diverse and especially in the case of youth, there is not a short and succinct solution to the problem.
The stories of Anthony, Kasey, and Roque are the three individuals that have been chosen to be highlighted in this documentary. They each have unique backstories, personalities, and circumstances. Anthony really stood out to me personally. He made bad decisions in the past, but because of his hard working mentality, he was determined to remedy them, move on and make his life better. Throughout his entire story, he kept emphasizing that his motivation to succeed and become independent was all so that he could regain custody of his son. In the end he got his GED and was accepted into Chicago's Step Up program. Anthony's story shows how there are young and motivated individuals, who are able to push on from unfortunate circumstances, and move up in life when given the opportunities and resources.
It was interesting hearing the reasons behind why Anthony, Kasey, and Roque were homeless. For Anthony it stemmed from traumatic foster care systems and abusive guardians, for Kasey it was from unsupportive parents and her preference for female partners, and for Roque it was due to immigration complications. This demonstrates how homelessness can stem from a variety of reasons and circumstances, and it is often not the "fault" of the young person that they are in the situation they are in. The fact that there are a lot of young people who have to go through the experience of homelessness is a pressing issue. Especially since youth is the time where we start to establish who we are and who we are going to be in the future, it is pertinent to give these youth experiencing homelessness the resources and opportunities to make their lives better.

Who we are
We are people who feel a sense of love and connectivity when surrounded by nature.
We are conscious about our thoughts and understand how our actions ripples beyond the here and now. We want to impact the world in a positive light to collectively save the bees and life on our little blue planet.
We aim to bridge the gap between bees and agriculture. If not for the bees, most surface life on our planet would die off. We want to encourage people to start taking immediate action for change. Through beautifully informative and creative content, it is our goal to inspire and encourage an agricultural revolution of sustainable beekeepers and organic farmers worldwide.
We want people to take action into their own hands as individuals while working remotely together as a collective.
Why we save bees
Food binds every living thing on our planet together. We need a variety of foods to say healthy and every living thing eats. Countless numbers of species rely on the bees to pollenate plants on our planets surface. If the bees were to become extinct, so would the human race and most surface life on earth.

Best of the Best
They say, "Save the best for last.", and that works in a lot of cases, but not with photography. Always show your best work first. If you only have the chance to show off one image, make sure it's good enough to grab and keep a person's attention long enough to show more of your work.
15 Second Elevator Pitch
It's just like the elevator speech. Can you impress them before they reach their floor and exit the elevator?
If you only have 15 seconds of a person's time, you'd better blow them away. I have a picture that I always show first, no matter what. It's a photo of Janet Jackson. The colors are really vibrant, it's in-focus, the composition is nice, Janet's cleavage is present, and after all, it's Janet Jackson - she's a legend. That photo always keeps the person's attention, and they always want to see more.
I actually keep my phone, in my back pocket, open with my photo galleries ready to show. If I'm backstage at a concert, I have the "My Concerts" folder open with the Janet Jackson photo highlighted, and ready.
Online Portfolio
When showcasing your work online, limit the amount of content you post per event. If it's a photo recap from a concert, don't post 47 pictures of the performer, when 6-10 images can tell the story enough. Unless of course, you're telling the entire story, including images of the band members, if the performer changes outfits, the crowd, signage, etc.

The Internet won't stop talking about this veteran's shirt
In the United States, veterans are for the most part respected for their services. They've fought for the country -- and in some cases, were injured or killed for it.
One veteran's photo of herself was posted on Reddit with the caption, "Puts it all into perspective":
Puts it all into perspective from pics
The shirt reads, "Transgender veteran: I fought for your right to hate me." This references the discrimination many in the transgender community face, such as losing a job or denied housing due to being transgender. The veteran fought to protect Americans, even ones that discriminate against her.
RELATED: See photos from the North Carolina gender neutral bathroom debate
See Gallery
The photo has gone viral on the site, garnering thousands of comments. Others seemed to agree with the sentiment that the shirt put their views into perspective.

Anyone can face extra pounds at some point in their lives, but unfortunately not everyone can do diets and subscribe to the fitness room. To lose weight, it is advisable to have a diet based on low calories consumption, which does not provide the necessary energy the body needs in a day.
Let's also think of 45-year-olds who want to keep their weight under control but feel overwhelmed by the situation. It is certainly more difficult for an elderly person to have strict and tiring diets. Thinking about all these aspects, I tried to find the best supplement for weight loss and I came across Purple Mangosteen, which is 100% natural and does not bring any side effects.
What exactly is Purple Mangosteen?
I have appreciated from the very beginning that it is a supplement of natural ingredients based on antioxidants that not only help to lose weight, but it also improves your health in general. Know that the product is clinically tested and certified, and customers confirm its effectiveness.
With the accumulation of a few kilograms, various health-related conditions may appear, such as bad cholesterol that is closely related to cardiovascular disease, visceral fat or fat around and inside the internal organs, diabetes, liver disease and the list may keep going.
Why choose Purple Mangosteen in you are from Uganda? Well, everyone knows how good it is to eat vegetables and fruits, because they contain soot antioxidants that accelerate metabolism and prevent inflammation and disease in the body. But how many of us are taking care of their daily portion of antioxidants in the right amount? The present product is a drink and is more practical for consumption.
Purple Mangosteen on the forums in Uganda
It's easy to find a product that a lot of people from all over the world talk about and I was surprised to find no negative opinions so far. It's just a product full of antioxidants and natural. Another aspect I've appreciated is that it suits everyone's needs. It is practical, it ensures effective and riskless weight loss at any age. Women over 55 have managed to lose weight with him!
Discover the ingredients of the Purple Mangosteen drink and how to use it!
I was saying in previous lines that there is nothing complicated or dubious about this supplement. No wonder it has this name. It is actually the name of the fruit that the product contains. A particularly appreciated fruit in the specific areas where it grows and is not so popular in the world.
Because it's a purple drink like juice of beet, for example, know it's very delicious, and the strong color is due to the high content of antioxidants called xanthin. They regulate everything in the body and so you can lose 10 pounds in just 2 weeks.
The purple drink is simple. The product is in the form of a powder and you need 1 tablespoon of the product to dissolve in a glass of water. Mix well and it's ready! It is only consumed in the morning, but the cure is kept as you wish.
You certainly did not know that the Purple Mangosteen drink has such a low price!
I'm glad I can give you good news. A cure can be kept for a long time and this with a small budget, because producers offer periodically 50% discounts and promotional packages. The order is made from the official website and the transport is free in any corner of the world. So, hurry up!
About the manufacturers
I was impressed by the manufacturers' website because everything is well presented and safe for online orders, but I did not like that they just mentioned an email address and not a phone number. I find it more convenient to call if you have any questions, but you can do this when the operator calls you to confirm the order.
Customers are satisfied with the Purple Mangosteen drink
When a lot of customers are satisfied it means the product is truly unique. Know that you can have stunning results with Purple Mangosteen if you care about your lifestyle. What do you think of it?

Forget the man cave: 'She shed' is latest home improvement trend
CLEVELAND, Ohio – After months of planning, the 2016 NARI Home Improvement Show is finally here.
The big event is held at the IX Center every year, and as you can imagine, there's a lot of homeowners to check out.
There's all the classics like floors, siding and of course windows, but there's also the more unique, like "she sheds." They're kind of like the female version of a "man cave."
"The whole idea behind these is to take a regular garden shed, any old garden shed really, and turn it into an outdoor oasis," explained Chris Kamis, Owner of Absolute Roofing and Construction.

He and his brother built a "she shed" for the show. It's not for sale though. He said they just wanted to show people how easy they are to make.
"This particular one is called the 'happy hour,' where you can come out here and grab some wine, grab some cheese, it's got a full wine cooler in it. We have some books, a nice fire place, it's just a beautiful place to sit and relax," he said.
If you can't afford to build one of these, then you may want to sign up for a special raffle the show is offering. Someone will win their very own "she shed." It will not come furnished.

Tickets cost 10 dollars and all of the proceeds will benefit the Breast Cancer Fund of Ohio.
Janet and Skip Baran of Medina had a good laugh about the "she shed." Janet said she'd love to have her own.
"I don't even have a man cave, but she's going to have a studio on the main floor plus a 'she shed'?" joked Skip.

Before you start working out on a treadmill, you should try to find out about the various pros as well as cons of running on a treadmill. You can read here about the various uses and drawbacks of running on a treadmill. It has been stated by a number of well-known and reliable online sites such as huffingtonpost.com that running on a treadmill can be better than running on the road if you plan your workout in a smart way. The increase in sales of various brands and models of treadmills indicate that more and more people prefer it now.
If you buy and use a treadmill, then there is a very good chance that you will be able to stick to the workout regime that you have planned. There are a number of people who prefer to run on a treadmill at home rather than going to the gym. The fact is that on a number of occasions people stay away from workouts because they find it hard to hit the gym on a daily basis. The commute from your home to the gym is among the things that you may have wanted to avoid. After a hard day at work, the commute to the gym is very tough.
So, a treadmill will allow you to overcome all such issues and problems. The other huge benefit of running on a treadmill either at home or at the gym is that you will be running in a very controlled environment. If you are running on the road, then you are not running in a controlled environment. So, when you are running on the road, then there is a very good chance that you will breathe in polluted air. In the times to come, this can raise a number of health related concerns. With running on a treadmill, you will not have to worry about this.
There are not too many cons of running on a treadmill on a daily basis. You may feel a little bored at times if you run on a treadmill because of the fact that you will not be able to view and see sceneries from outside. Some people fail to increase the distance for which they run on a treadmill on a daily basis. But this is just a mental block. At other times someone may fail to increase the speed at which they run on a daily basis. Even this is a small mental block that you can tackle. Running on a treadmill is costlier than running on the road.
The reason behind this is that in order to run on a treadmill you will have to buy a treadmill or you will have to join a gym. In both of these cases you will have to shell out some money but running on the road is free of cost. So, assess the pros and cons before you choose where you will run. It will be better for you if you take your comfort as well as your priorities into account before you make a choice. An informed choice is always a better choice.

Teen Social Problems
For many teens, the adolescent years are spent socializing and building a network of friends. Some teens, however, struggle with socialization or experience challenges that make this potentially enjoyable time in their lives difficult. Making friends isn't so easy for some. Teens who struggle with shyness avoid approaching peers or striking up conversations. While for some this shyness is a temporary struggle that they ultimately overcome, other teens go through their entire adolescence struggling to make or maintain friendships due to their shyness. Family Bootcamp can help shy teens.
Shyness can become a significant social problem for many teens. Unsure of how to interact with others at school, church or in the community, shy teens feel awkward, uncomfortable and simply say nothing at all and flee the situation rather than attempt to talk their way out of discomfort. For shy teens, being coached and encouraged to talk, share emotions and connect with others is crucial. Time in the wilderness at Family Bootcamp provides shy teens with the chance to work on talking, sharing emotions and connecting with others in the safety of a controlled setting.
Another social problem that many teens struggle with is aggression. Fighting at school, a fascination with violent movies or video games or a profane and foul vocabulary suggest that the teen is struggling with aggression issues, or even a more pathological issue. The Family Bootcamp experience is a great intervention for teens struggling with aggression as it helps funnel aggressive tendencies into positive social experiences with peers. Parents come to recognize that limiting access to violent movies and video games can encourage appropriate face to face socialization and interaction with others. Family Bootcamp provides teens and parents with the chance to engage in straight-forward dialogue about the possible negative consequences of aggressive behavior on a teen's life.

Its been a while since the drama ended. But one thing that I need to say is that,if I ever need to choose the best korean dramas 2013, reply 1994 would be a clear cut answer.
whats so special about the drama? Everything. Every single thing. Okay, I may sound a bit exaggerating but trust me. As a someone that went completely head over heels with Reply 1997, this spin off took me by storm.
Never in my life would have thought that I would be so much in love with a drama. From the complicated love-line of Na jung, Trash and Chilbong. To the very brusque but cute couple, sam cheon po and yoojin. And those unforgettable dorks, Binggerae and Haitai. They made this drama worked big time. Every potrayal of the characters was done meticulously and beautifully. I even love the parents of Na jung! They are too funny!
Reply 1994 has everything that I search In a good drama. The plot was amazing, every inch of it. I watched it almost 5 times(or more) and I could not find any single flaws.
Remember, this is a drama where it will bring the viewers back to the year of 1994. Some viewers( like me) may never felt what does it like to be in that year and the way koreans went passed that era. But the directors and the writers must have been through a lot of works just to make sure that they did not miss even a single details. The reason I said that is because as I watched and went over episodes by episodes, I felt like, im there. During that moment, its just like watching from an invisible - bystander's view that are there, right beside na jung when she screamed over her favourite basketball players.
this is a drama that I really recommend for everyone to watch. Maybe, 20 years from now we will be just like the people in the drama. Reminisce over the memories the of our youth and happiness.

This paper examines a simple statistical method of managing inventory levels that allows the manager to establish confidence levels regarding product availability while maintaining the highest possible levels of available cash. The model is examined in detail without the need for training in statistics, and is supported by an Excel® spreadsheet that embodies the model. All of the statistical terms and concepts that are needed in order to understand the model are explained in plain English within the paper. The spreadsheet includes stock confidence levels and a cash analysis including inventory holding costs, cost of a lost sale, and gross profitability.
The spreadsheet also includes a Monte Carlo simulation of uncertain demand as a means of testing the inventory control methodology and of establishing expected available cash levels. Finally, the spreadsheet includes a section where various manual inventory control policies can be tested relative to the statistical model in order to establish the relative performance of each. The following graphic shows a comparison between the statistical method implemented in the model and a typical manual inventory control method.

Nuclear Sites
Browse Sites
Nuclear Sites
In the November 2011 IAEA Safeguards report on Iran, the IAEA disclosed that information from member states indicated that Iran constructed a large explosives containment vessel or chamber at the Parchin military complex in 2000 to conduct high explosive and hydrodynamic experiments related to the development of nuclear weapons. After constructing the chamber at the Parchin site, some 30 kilometers southeast of Tehran, Iran constructed a building around the large cylindrical object. According to the report, "a large earth berm was subsequently constructed between the building containing the cylinder and a neighboring building, indicating the probable use of high explosives in the chamber." The IAEA obtained satellite images showing this chamber before the roof was placed on the building.
The large Parchin complex is dedicated to research, development, and production of ammunition, rockets, and high explosives. The complex is owned by Iran's Defense Industries Organization, and has hundreds of buildings and test sites. It is a logical site to conduct high explosive work related to nuclear weapons development, which can be hidden among the conventional high explosive activities. This strategy has been pursued by other proliferant states seeking to hide nuclear weapons development work.
ISIS has closely monitored satellite imagery of the building, as Iran apparently engaged in clean-up activities at the site in multiple phases of activity. The IAEA continues to call on Iran to grant inspectors access to the site, although as of the spring of 2013, Iran had refused IAEA access while continuing to reconstruct the site.
The IAEA has provided partial information on the type of tests that Iran may have conducted and the media have reported on additional possibilities. As best as can be determined, three types of tests could have been conducted, each with appropriate diagnostic equipment, although the IAEA has never confirmed such a list and still other types of tests are possible. The three most commonly discussed tests have been:
- A test of the spherical symmetry of the initiation of the high explosive components of a nuclear warhead, which could have involved up to 70 kg of high explosives. This test would not involve any uranium. The November 2011 safeguards report noted that the explosive chamber at Parchin would be suitable for carrying out this type of test.
- A test to ascertain the symmetry of an imploding hemispherical shell of high explosives, surrounding a natural uranium metal hemisphere, in a scaled down experiment of an implosion package. A technical advisor to ISIS with decades of involvement in the experimental study of nuclear weapon mock-up explosions evaluated this case. He assessed that based on the constraints of this chamber and the use of powerful high explosives, the explosive shell would contain about 50 kilograms of high explosives, an amount within the constraints of the chamber.
- A test of a uranium deuteride neutron initiator. Such an initiator, which is difficult to develop, must be adequately compressed by high explosives in order to produce a small burst of neutrons which initiate the chain reaction and the nuclear explosion. In a test that could have occurred in the explosive chamber, the initiator would be located at the center of a high explosive compression system involving a sphere of high explosives and possibly a non-nuclear surrogate material for the weapon-grade uranium core. The goal of the experiment is to compress the initiator, causing the fusion of the deuterium and a spurt of neutrons that could be measured by highly sensitive detectors located outside the chamber. This test would involve only a few grams of uranium and deuterium with variable amounts of explosives.
Parchin South
This more recent case is not the first time Parchin has aroused suspicions of secret nuclear weapons work. The site first surfaced publicly in August 2004 when ISIS was alerted by ABC News to allegations that the complex was being used for high explosives testing that may be consistent with those conducted for nuclear weapons research. Commercial satellite imagery of this collection of potential high explosive test bunkers and buildings was released publicly by ISIS in September 2004.
Within the larger Parchin complex, there is an isolated, separately secured site at which it was believed the weapons-related research could have taken place. Prior to public release of the imagery, the IAEA was aware of the facility through analysis of commercial satellite imagery and its potential for nuclear weapons-related work. Iran initially rebuffed IAEA requests to inspect the site, eventually allowing access to parts of the facility in early 2005.
On November 1, 2005 Agency inspectors were given access to a subset of the buildings at Parchin and were able to take several environmental samples. The IAEA's February 2006 report notes that "The Agency did not observe any unusual activities in the buildings visited, and the results of the analysis of environmental samples did not indicate the presence of nuclear material at those locations." On the ground inspections showed that certain sites were not as capable as suggested by satellite imagery. Nonetheless, the IAEA was unable to visit all the sites it wanted to inspect and the issue about nuclear weapons related work at Parchin remained unsettled.
At the time, the IAEA did not know about the high explosive test chamber mentioned above, which is located in another section of the Parchin site. The buildings it wanted to visit in 2005 are far from this chamber. Moreover, the inspectors were unlikely to have asked to visit the building housing the chamber, given its non-descript nature in a complex routinely testing high explosives and the large number of buildings at the Parchin site.

October 8, 2018:
Comet has gone to the Rainbow Bridge. She spent the last year and a half dealing with vestibular disease. She would have episodes and bounce back, but unfortunately it didn't happen as quickly the last few times.
She came into foster care two years ago. We found out quickly that Comet liked barbecued food. Like a magic elixir, the hard years disappeared completely in those moments.
With a late start in life no fault of her own, she charged into the remaining time armed with love, forgiveness, healing, and cuddles that rivaled the best in history. How she could give spoke to her unending faith in the good. She was rewarded time and again with love from young and old, human and creature alike, and respect for her frail condition. Just seeing the wind blow in her hair, you knew no matter what happened, it was going to be all right.
She loved going to the beach and laying in the warm sun. Toward the end, on her own, she thought she'd give the water a try and liked it. We will always remember that big smile, as big as Texas, when a wave said howdy, pleased to meet you. Also in the never forget category: how fast she could eat an ice cream cone. Those memories comfort when her loss brings tears.
Comet helped pay it forward at GRRoW events. For the past year she has also visited residents at an assisted living facility. We hope she knew how much she was loved, but know she knows how much she is missed. Sweet Comet, baby cakes, run free. We can't wait to see you again.
Please help us remember Comet by purchasing a 2019 GRRoW calendar. If we sell all 200 by midnight on December 15, 2018, the invoice will be torn up, and GRRoW won't need to pay it. Please tell your family and friends too. Here is a link to the page https://www.grrow.org/shop/2019-grrow-calendar. Thank you for supporting Comet's Challenge.
September 11th, 2017:
Comet surprised us a few weeks ago. In the year she's been with us, she has shown no interest in the different dog toys we have around the house. The closest was wanting to play with a stuffed Golden that is almost the size of her. We were recently at an art fair, and Comet spied a basket of knit toys. She stuck her head into the basket and pulled one out. The vendor probably didn't intend it to be a dog toy, but she was excited to hear Comet's story. Guess who has a new toy? Because her sister destroys toys and we want to make sure she has it for a long time, Comet gets to play with her toy when we can watch the two of them.
The past few months have not been the easiest for Comet. One day she just collapsed and wouldn't move. We rushed her to the vet where they ruled out cancer. Though she wasn't exhibiting the usual symptoms, they diagnosed it as vestibular disease which affected her balance. It took two days for her to be able to stand, and she slowly regained her strength.
A few weeks ago she became unsteady on her feet once again. Her recovery is slower this time around, and short walks seem to help with it. Her head is now tilting, one of the noticeable signs of the disease. She's back to eating normally, so she is feeling better. We're taking a wait and see approach and making sure she is living the best life she can.
March 11th, 2017:
Comet is up to 59 pounds! That's a 10 pound weight gain since she was surrendered at the end of August. She has evolved into a good eater and has started hanging out in the kitchen while meals are being prepared to be available to assist if something drops. She continues to add foods to her diet and ate lettuce just the other day.
Her diet has also helped Comet's coat fill in, and it's very thick. Her belly was completely bare when she first arrived (probably due to her allergies). It's now covered with fur.
Comet recently underwent surgery to have a cyst removed. While she was under anesthesia, the vet checked her mouth and found a growth. After having it tested, we found Comet has melanoma. It isn't aggressive at this time, and we're going to watch its progression.
Comet loves other dogs and recently met some larger than her at the dog park.
Comet continues to engage more with her sisters and to become part of the family. She's already done that to our hearts.
December 28th, 2016:
Guess who just turned 12 on the 26th?
Comet continues to settle in with her new sisters. Once the adoption was final she began sleeping with them like she knew she was home. She's gained 8 pounds since she came to us too!
She's been busy since her last update. Comet healed quickly from her tooth extraction during her dental in November. She really enjoyed the canned food she got to eat while she was healing. Surprisingly, she switched back to the kibble version very easily. She's a very good eater and is learning to eat vegetables. Sometimes they'll find their way next to her bowl, but she's trying different ones. She's also eating fish oil capsules and coconut oil to help with her dry skin and a probiotic because an animal communicator said she had a "grumbly tummy."
Comet sold a bunch of Community Days coupon books at Brookfield Boston Store and won the hearts of many people while she was there. She soaked in lots of love during the visits too. She is looking forward to selling more books for the spring sale beginning in January.
Her cage reactivity continues to appear, and it is inconsistent when it will happen. We're planning on speaking with the animal communicator to see if Comet can get passed it. We remind her she's safe and nobody will hurt her.
Comet met a friend named Santa Claus when we were taking holiday photos. She would wander by him every chance she had. We're glad she didn't go back to the North Pole with him because we love her dearly.
December 7th, 2016:
Comet got a clean bill of health and was adopted by his foster home. He is learning to bond with his two golden siblings.
October 12th, 2016:
It's amazing how far Comet has come in the five weeks she's been with us. She tagged along on her foster sister's vet appointment the other day, and she's gained four pounds! You can no longer see her ribs, and her belly area is filling out. The vet said her coat is feeling a lot better too. Comet even approached the vet and sat between her legs. She's definitely starting to trust again.
We are continuing Comet on her limited ingredient diet, and she's on the maintenance dose of Apoquel. Her scratching is almost nonexistent.
Comet's cage reactivity still appears, but it a lot less severe and less often. We found if we turn our backs toward her, she will stop. We will continue to work on this.
Comet attended GRRoW's volunteer thank you event and ran around with the other dogs in attendance. It was a happy sight to see her run for the first time. She did great with everyone, two or four legged! We took her swimming, and though she did some paddling, it wasn't her thing.
Comet is scheduled to have her teeth cleaned at the beginning of November. The vet still wasn't able to get a good look at her mouth, but we know at least one tooth is going to be pulled. She'll need to heal from that, and then she'll be able to go to her forever home.
September 12th, 2016:
Comet has come so far in the two weeks she's been with us. She received a haircut and a bath on her first day to help with her scratching.
She came to us underweight, so the vet ran a number of tests to make sure she was healthy. Everything was fine, and the vet gave us medicated shampoo, an antibiotic, and Apoquel to help with the itching. We switched her to a limited ingredient diet in case she's allergic to anything in her food. These have helped immensely, and it's amazing to see how much better she must feel.
Comet is slowly coming out of her shell and fitting in wonderfully with her four-legged foster sisters. She's starting to seek attention and affection too. She even picked up a toy and retrieved after it when it was tossed. Hasn't since, but it was a good sign.
Though we found that Comet rides well in the car, we found Comet sometimes has a cage aggression issue when it's time to exit the car. She will sometimes bare her teeth, growl, or bark. We're working on this with some positive reinforcement exercises.
We're heading back to the vet this week to do a follow up. The vet is also going to check her mouth to see if she requires a cleaning. There were a lot of tests being done the first visit, so she might be more amenable to it this time.
With some stability and other exercises, Comet will hopefully be ready for her forever home soon.

Hat: Vintage, Dress: Vintage, Cardigan: Vintage, Belt: Forever New, Bag: Vintage, Nude tights: from my mum, Socks: some random local store, Boots: Vintage
This is what I wore to uni a few days ago (minus the hat + a bigger bag!) I was feeling pretty enthusiastic in doing some mass layering at 7am in the morning that day haha.
My belt is from forever new, socks are from a random store, and my nude tights are from my mum. Everything else is vintage! :):) The belt actually was a M/L (there were no S/M's left), and I made it smaller by cutting off some of the elastic, and then sewing it back up again! A good trick for when there's no smaller sizes left!
I am currently in the process of fixing up the side bar area of my blog. I've noticed that it is rather cluttered and disorganised, with headings that don't even relate to what's underneath it! Procrastination has gotten to the better of me, as this was something I always planned to fix but never got around to doing it.
My friend and I were browsing Urban Outfitters the other day, and I was somewhat tortured to view all these moustache items she was drooling over. She's since won me over – check these out, they are seriously pretty funny!
From Top to bottom, left to right: Moustache mug, mirror clings (these stick onto your mirrors!), wallet with an moustache sticker for your photo, snowglobe (hahaha!! for those who worship their moustaches), bandaids, fingerstaches and a bendable party moustache! ♥
The other day, my sister told me that I was on the entry button of the Chictopia TeenVogue Wardrobe Remix competition! I didn't know about it as the button never loaded on my computer when I entered the competition ..it would have felt funny if it did cause then I'd have to click a button with me on it to enter the competition LOL
Also, just wanted to share that I happen to be on the Dotti front page! So exciting, as Dotti is one of my fave chain stores :)
Today I reached 500 followers on my blog! I just want to say thankyou for following my posts, it really gives me motivation to keep things going! I'll be doing a headband giveaway soon to coincide with the opening of my store, so be sure to look out for that in the next month-ish! Hopefully everything goes to plan so I don't have to push it back again :):)
I've been receiving quite a few emails with questions ranging from 'Where in Australia do you live' to thrifting advice! So I thought I'd do a little 'get to know me' post in the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions about me/stuff you'd like me to answer, just leave a little note in the comments section, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com! ♥
I hope everyone has a great weekend! I've actually caught a cold after going back to uni and will probs be doing nothing much interesting :)
PS. A shout out to Cool by Association: Thanks for tagging me, hopefully I'll get round to answering your questions soon after I devour all this homework!
PPS. This has gotta be almost the longest blog post I've ever written!

Now that is big time breakfast! Nice!
I have been struggling with sweet breakfasts with this pregnancy, so this sounds just perfect!!
Not sure if I can finish this all for breakfast, but I might try it for a lunch!
Being from Southern California we are into Mexican food big time. I miss all my awesome Mex food here in Oregon so we have to make it ourselves. This looks like a little slice of home!
Such beautiful pictures!
Yes, yes, and YES some more. I love the combo of eggs, beans, steak and heat via the ancho chile. Lovely breakfast dish!!
That looks awesome and so so so delicious!!!! Lovely breakfast I would say, something I would die having.
I think your quantity of eggs might be wrong. One egg for a 4 serving breakfast doesn't sound right. 🙂
Also, what constitutes a breakfast steak? Is there a specific cut I should be looking for?
[…] Hope you enjoy! Read the rest of Ancho Grilled Breakfast Steak Over Fried Egg and Beans […]

Darlene Boyd
I am a sculptor, who also enjoys painting and drawing. I am not tied to any particular medium, and I thrive in experimenting and blending many materials. I am interested in forms, surfaces, visual metaphors and the emotional responses that my art work evokes. I particularly enjoy teaching art and using these processes both as forms as self-expression and as a means to heal oneself.
Born in Lodi, California, Darlene S. Boyd, a fourth generation Californian, grew up in the local wine vineyards. She was nurtured, at an early age, by Constance M. Darden, who gave studio art lessons for local children in Lodi. These experiences set many of Ms. Boyd's expressive anchors and eventually led her to study of visual art in college. She is a1973 Honors graduate of Brooks Institute, School of Fine Arts / Santa Barbara Art Institute. She majored in sculpture, along with a strong emphasis in both drawing and painting. She was privileged to have studied under the notable and esteemed professional artists: Alice Carr DeCreeft (sculpture), Duane Loppnow (sculpture), Ray S. Strong (landscape painting), Richard Barrett (figure drawing), Priscilla Bendershore (drawing and painting), Douglas Paschal (portrait drawing).
She moved to Fresno with her husband, and family in 1981. She continued to enjoy teaching art at Bullard TALENT and Camp Shalom as a Director of Fine Arts, among other venues. She expanded her exploratory studies of fiber media under the mentorship of Kathy Wosika, a locally celebrated, Fresno artist. Recently she studied portrait drawing under John Robrock, an award winning artist and teacher of art in Hollister, California.
Ms. Boyd is now the Chief Creative Officer of The ART Experience, LLC studio, nestled in the pastoral mission town of San Juan Bautista, California. She is currently working on figure sculptures in clay for bronze casting. She also creates landscape, floral, still life, portrait and architectural paintings. She finds time to occasionally work on projects in other contemporary media and genres. Her work is currently on exhibit in several California Central Coast venues, including Stone Griffin Gallery at 416 E. Campbell Avenue, Campbell, California 95008. Various on-line galleries showcase her work, such as sbawca.org. Her work is enjoyed by many private collectors, nationally and abroad. To learn more about Ms. Boyd and her art please visit her on-line gallery at www.darleneboyd.com, or you are welcome to make an appointment to visit her studio in San Juan Bautista, by calling 831-623-2750.

The Church in China: A Constant Teacher over Thirty-Three Years
by Jeff Ritchie
Next month I make my 25th trip to China. This blog is a reflection on what I have learned about life and following Jesus from Chinese believers since 1983.
Devoted to God: One of the constant factors in the witness of Chinese believers whom I have met for over thirty years is their desire to know God, to praise God, and to serve God by making him known to those outside the church. The witness literally bursts out in the welcome our groups have received as we come into a church yard on the way to worship. The above photo depicts one of those warm welcomes, in this case from Christian women in Weifang, Shandong Province.
The hunger to be like Christ and extend his loving rule shows through the graduation services I have attended at two provincial seminaries. Often through tears, the graduates profess their commitment to be the Lord's servants as they go back to serve the churches that sent them to seminary.
Good Chinese Citizens: Another constant factor in the witness of Chinese believers is their desire to be good citizens. They often speak of being "patriotic." While that phrase has overtones of what we Americans mean by being patriotic, the connotation is much deeper than that. In the pre-Communist era, Chinese Christians were often criticized as not "Chinese" enough. The saying went, "One more Christian, one less Chinese." That is not the case anymore.
So how do Chinese Christians demonstrate their being good citizens of China? One government official told a visiting group, "The Christians are among the first to help out in a disaster." Another official in a different province said, "They are honest and pay their taxes." The new descriptions of Chinese Christians as government officials see them are "other-oriented" and "trustworthy" – good citizens.
In addition to these things, Chinese Christians have a particular way of demonstrating that they are good Chinese citizens. The greatest Chinese philosopher, Confucius, once told his disciples, "I wish for the old to live in peace and comfort." Chinese Christians have taken this to heart and made the care of seniors a special focus of their outreach. The woman shown in the photo is part of a senior citizens home in Zhejiang Province. In each of the provinces where The Outreach Foundation has church relationships, there are church-run senior citizens homes.
A Larger Understanding of What "Church" Means: When Americans hear the word "church," we have tended to go in one of two directions. We think in terms of our local church or we think in terms of our particular denomination. Chinese Christians have a different understanding of church, one that is more like what we read in the New Testament epistles. Paul wrote letters to the church in Corinth, the church in Rome, etc. The "church" in each of these places was distributed among many house churches.
This is how it is in China. One can speak of the "Church in Suzhou" which is distributed over many congregations and house fellowships. One also can speak of the "Church in Jiangsu Province," again one church distributed over many municipalities and rural counties. Finally, one can speak of the "Church in China," distributed over the provinces of that country.
The most vivid example of this larger understanding of the church for me was the first big project of The Outreach Foundation in China. The church in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang was building what would become a mega-church in the provincial capital of Harbin. It would seat 3,000 in the main sanctuary and was going to cost $750,000, an astronomical figure for the church in that part of China in the late 1990s. We helped as we could from the U.S., but the real story was that of the believers in the entire province (think of an area larger than Texas) who joined as one to build this place of worship and training. In subsequent years the Church in Heilongjiang continued to build one church after another with the same "one for all, all for one" spirit. They saw the Church as one even though scattered over many locations.
I give thanks to God for the Chinese Christians I have met. They are in love with Jesus, devoted to caring for "the least of these," and sense their oneness with believers in the same locale – city, province, country – who worship in different places. It is a privilege to introduce others to my Chinese friends, and I look forward to one more opportunity to do this.
