Proper and effective internal controls are key to maintaining good governance.
The water contamination scandal in Kai Ching estate is a good case study.
A proper internal control regime means the cost of maintaining it is lower than the potential risks.
The Housing Authority is responsible for making sure public housing estates have safe drinking water.
Tests are carried out at regular intervals but rarely on a daily basis because these are too expensive and difficult to execute.
Effective internal controls will bring potential risks within expectations.
These could include using lead-free water pipes or cleaning water tanks and checking the water supply system regularly.
There are three main internal control measures — preventive, detective and corrective.
In addition, there are strict regulations on the construction and installation of water supply and plumbing systems.
The Waterworks Ordinance prohibits anyone other than licensed professionals to carry out these tasks.
They are required to obtain regulatory approval for the materials they're going to use.
Non-compliance could make them liable to severe penalties, even revocation of their license.
And their work has to be inspected by other professionals.
These various measures are aimed at preventing problems and are deemed most effective.
The effectiveness of these measures will be confirmed through detective controls.
These are carried out by inspectors who will test water samples in various areas of the housing estate.
In the case of Kai Ching estate, both preventive and detective measures failed.
That led to corrective measures such as setting up a special team to investigate the water system in the entire complex, expand the area of water samples and replace water pipes.
Also, there are multi-tier internal controls including entity-level controls and transaction-level controls.
A complete internal control system should cover both.
Supervision of licensed plumbers is entity-level control while sample testing, construction materials declaration and system checks are transaction-level controls.
Secretary for Transport and Housing Anthony Cheung has appealed for more public understanding, saying the agency does not have enough manpower to deal with the crisis.
Meanwhile, Kai Ching residents are wondering how much longer they have to put up with it.
A man said the first thing he does in the morning is look for safe drinking water. A mother said she is afraid to breast-feed her baby for fear of lead in her body.

A pilot who has completed the world's shortest scheduled flight more than 12,000 times is to take to the skies over Orkney for the last time.
Stuart Linklater, 59, will retire after making his final trip on the route between Westray and Papa Westray.
It takes just two minutes – including taxiing – to complete the 1.7 mile flight, which is about the same length as the runway at Edinburgh Airport.
Mr Linklater, a pilot with Loganair, has spent 24 years in the job.
During his time on the inter-isle routes – which also includes flights to Stronsay, Sanday, North Ronaldsay and Eday – the Orkney-based pilot has chalked up more than 1.3 million miles in the single-manned, eight-seater Britten-Norman Islander aircraft used on the service.
Flying the Islander in some of the most challenging weather conditions in Scotland means I've had my fair share of turbulence over the years"
Mr Linklater, who will continue working part-time for Loganair operating aircraft out of Glasgow, said: "I've thoroughly enjoyed my time on the Orkney inter-isle service and have worked with and carried so many interesting people over the 24 years I've spent piloting the Islander.
"There's nothing quite like the experience of taking the Islander up and I will look back fondly on my years spent flying between the islands over the years.
"Flying the Islander in some of the most challenging weather conditions in Scotland means I've had my fair share of turbulence over the years, but I've enjoyed every minute of it.
"Although I have other interests I'll still continue flying, albeit on a part-time basis, on the Glasgow services to Barra, Tiree and Campbeltown."
Mr Linklater joined Loganair after gaining his private pilot licence in 1982 and his commercial pilot's licence in 1988, and has worked with the airline for 25 years, 16 of them as part of the company's then air ambulance service contract.
He has flown enough miles to circumnavigate the globe 50 times.
'Ambulance missions'
Loganair said he can also lay claim to the record for the number of times he has flown the world's shortest scheduled flight and holds the record for the time taken to travel between the two islands – 53 seconds.
The pilot, who will turn 60 on Monday, became a grandfather for the first time in December.
His final day of flights will include trips from Kirkwall to Papa Westray and North Ronaldsay. He will also pilot a service from Kirkwall to Westray, then Papa Westray, before returning to Kirkwall.
Loganair president Scott Grier said: "Those of us based at Loganair's headquarters in Glasgow always had peace of mind knowing that Stuart Linklater was very much in control of the specialist flying operations in Orkney, whether North Isles scheduled services, or the many years of ambulance missions."
Councillor Steven Heddle, convener of Orkney Islands Council, said: "It's the end of an era for the North Isles with Stuart's retirement.
"He has served them fantastically well on countless regular flights, and on ambulance flights in the past, and his skill and relaxed approach always made travelling on the Islanders very enjoyable on all the times I have flown on them."

I've just discovered and started listening to The Moth podcast. The Moth, for those of you who don't know, is a non-profit storytelling organization that brings in people - actors, playwrights, comedians, poets, personalities, and the average Joe - to tell a story from their own lives. No notes. Just a performer, a story, a microphone, and an audience. The Moth has several different live performance series and programs around the country. Now, The Moth has been around since 1997, but I'd never heard of them until a few days ago. Why? Because 1) I live in Pittsburgh, instead of New York or LA, 2) I'm not hip, and 3) I often struggle to get my recommended daily allowance of culture.
Point is: I found them eventually. I found The Moth through iTunes. I found them through their podcast.
And now? I know for a fact that I will continue to listen to the podcast. I've enjoyed their podcast so much, I'm considering buying CDs and other schwag through their site. I'm writing a blog about them. I've told two friends about them. And so on...
It is so very important to have as many points of entry into your organization and its services as possible, and a quality podcast can be one. We've got a podcast tutorial here on Technology in the Arts. There are tons of resources and guides out there. It is worth the effort, the equipment, the navigation of the waters of rights and copyright, and the time to create a new point of entry to your organization to gather fans you never knew you had, like moths to a flame.

A place to call home had been a long-held dream for ATC, says general manager Lester McGrath. "We wanted to create an open, inviting environment that would encourage people to utilise the street-level areas of the theatre outside of show times – something that would add to the invigorated Wynyard Quarter, which would in turn invigorate the theatre company and the way we make theatre," he adds.
What we did:
With such a confined footprint for the building and restricted access, innovation was at the forefront of every process. The column-free auditorium is supported by massive cross-beams and columns, with Grayson Engineering providing the trusses and steel bracing – all prefabricated offsite and trucked in during night-time deliveries.
The roof too was prefabricated over the road on the vacant site for the Park Hyatt. Constructed in three 20 tonne sections, the roof was lifted into place during one day-time closure of Halsey Street. Such innovation has been recognised with a nomination for an NZIOB Award for Excellence
And in a first for the Southern Hemisphere, the theatre is on track to be the first to achieve a 5 Green Star rating – a feature in keeping with the Wynyard Quarter's sustainable development framework.
"Given that theatres are not generally particularly energy-efficient facilities, a lot of work has been required to achieve this," Project Manager Alun Larsen notes.
"We employed high standards of waste and environmental management during the demolition and construction phases, and we have used durable and, where appropriate, environmentally friendly materials that are suitable for a public building."
Unique Challenges:
Hawkins worked extensively to find workable solutions within the very tight budget. For example, the ground for the site was contaminated reclaimed land, so the piles from the old Moana Pacific Fisheries building were reused which cut down the costs for the foundations.
Constructing the auditorium was a massive challenge. Structurally, it's very difficult to build a theatre which isn't on the ground floor, especially a hollow one. Essentially, we had to create a rigidly braced box that would provide an intensely flexible open space. A lot of temporary bolting was used – which is normal in a building of this size – but then onsite welding, rather than just bolting, was used to ensure rigidity.
Another problem was getting all the materials into the building. With the project starting to run over time, Alun and the team hit on the idea of constructing a hung 'birdcage' scaffold gantry around the upper levels of the auditorium which meant the materials for the various services (lighting, air-conditioning, sound and power) and ducts could be lifted in using a 10 tonne winch and installed at the same time as the theatre floor, stage and risers for the seats were being installed.
"We spent lots of time on detailed planning and strategizing on how to make sure optimal work was achieved within the confined working space," Alun says. "We craned 16,000 m of timber into the building before the tower crane was dismantled. This saved subcontractors a substantial amount of time and avoided the potential for damage as the materials didn't have to be carted through the building."
The Outcome:
The ASB Waterfront Theatre includes an enormous level of detail and an extremely high finish. The overall look is 'sophisticated industrial' with extensive use of polished aggregate and concrete, natural timber cladding and exposed services. Architect Gordon Moller calls the auditorium his 'cedar crucible'. Even the bathrooms are beautiful. The theatre is on the first floor, suspended within a glass box, and the ground-floor foyer opens up onto a courtyard shared with the adjacent ASB headquarters.
Alun Larsen attributes the successful outcome of the project to the collaborative approach by all parties which was adopted right from the start. "It takes a community to build something like this, and this project truly relied on a community of stakeholders, as well as a huge amount of community funding."
In a touching gesture, the names of the 1200 contractors involved in the construction of the theatre will be commemorated on glass panels lining one of the staircases in the theatre.

Top 10 Most Delicious Natural Appetite Suppressant Foods
Eating is the best thing in life. When you are looking to lose a few pounds, what better way to rid the weight from the body than by eating natural appetite suppressant foods that still give you the essentials you need. Looking at the superfluity of diets that can be undergone such as the Atkins diet, or the Cambridge diet, it is important to choose the right balance of foods. All diets try to incorporate some calorie burning foods into them. Here is a list of some of the best fat burning foods which are also natural appetite suppressant foods too:
1. Almonds – these nuts reduce the cravings for food throughout the day and are found in many Atkins diet snacks.
2. Salmon – the fish that can be cooked in a myriad of ways packs a mean punch in the curbing of food cravings.
3. Oatmeal – full of fiber and carbohydrate balancing, this breakfast food is one of the most powerful natural appetite suppressant foods. Add a hint of cinnamon and a sprinkle of toasted almonds to bring this breakfast staple up a notch.
4. Soup – makes you feel full, soup livens the spirit and keeps the pounds away. Make sure your soup does not contain cream, butter or bacon.
5. Wasabi – the spicy delicacy is a resolution to weight problems and stops cancer in its tracks.
6. Water – this cool clear beverage keeps the body hydrated at all times and fills up the space in the stomach where food would otherwise inhabit. This is one of those zero carb foods as water can be consumed all day, every day. Adding just a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, or a slice of cucumber turns a boring drink into a Spa favorite.
7. Caffeine – a nervous system stimulator, caffeine often found in coffee and hot chocolate has the ability to make sure you don't break your diet with a binge.
8. Flax – fiber that comes in the form of seeds. Add them to smoothies, your morning yogurt or salads.
9. Apples – "an apple a day, keeps the doctor away." Keeping you full for awhile, apples are rich in fiber that the body needs.
10. Eggs prepared a thousand different ways pack a protein punch that keeps you full for hours. Just season them with some paprika or dill to enhance the flavor.

Farro & Veggie Stuffed Peppers
Fall=Pepper Palooza at the farmers market. This is the first season I'm really paying attention to the different varieties and there are so many that there's no way I can tackle them all. I would love recommendations if you have any favorites!
While I want to experiment with some of the funnier-looking ones and ones of different spice levels to amp up some of my favorite dishes, I was drawn to this one farmer's gorgeous abundance of good old bell peppers.
So mad I didn't take a photo of that whole assortment, but all the peppers weren't just perfectly colored plain red, yellow, green, and orange like the standard ones at the grocery store. They were all primarily one color but had tinges of the others- I love me some odd-looking produce. Does this surprise you at all at this point though?
Anyway, I hadn't made stuffed peppers in a long time, and I had some farro that I had cooked as my grain of the week- and voila. Stuffed peppers are somewhat of a foolproof thing- you can make them with meat like ground turkey or chicken or you can do just plain veggies. I went veggie heavy to use some leftover dino kale and onions I had on hand, and then I picked up a zucchini, because well why not. This might be a weird combination to some, but I loved it. It's like a vegetable party on every forkful, and it's honestly kind of hard to go wrong with how to stuff peppers. Feel free to swap in any types of vegetables!
Also because of its flexibility, it's easy to keep things vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free if you wanted to sub in quinoa or rice as a different grain.
Stuffed peppers are also pretty hassle-free to make- if you already have a cooked grain, all you need to do is chop some veggies, throw them into a pepper, and stick it into the oven and do other things while it cooks. Cleanup is easy too, considering you eat the whole thing!
Farro & Veggie Stuffed Peppers
*serves 2 hungry people
2 large Bell Peppers, colors variable
1/2 cup Farro, cooked
1/2 Zucchini, diced
1/2 heaping cup of Tuscan Kale, chopped
2 small Spring Onions, sliced
~5 sprigs of Chives, diced
Spice measurements used to taste:
(I just used a generous sprinkle of it all)
Garlic Powder
Cayenne Pepper
Himalayan Pink Salt
Black Pepper
*optional: add a sprinkle of grated parmesan in the stuffed mix and on top to help bind mixture- but it's not necessary!
1. Preheat oven to 375º F and line a baking dish with aluminum foil or lightly grease bottom of the dish with EVOO.
2. Combine farro, zucchini, kale, onions, chives, and spices (and parmesan if you choose) in a medium mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.
*Optional: you can cook this mixture for a few minutes on a pan on medium heat to get some of the veggies cooking- I did it to reduce the volume of the kale in particular, so I could make it all fit inside the two peppers!
3. Cut out the tops of the bell peppers, and remove all seeds from the inside. If your peppers aren't stable standing upright on their own, gently cut a sliver from the bottom to make it flat- but be careful to not cut a hole in the pepper.
4. Spoon farro mixture into bell peppers until packed tightly. Place bell peppers on baking dish and pop it in the oven.
*Optional: You can "tent" the baking dish with an additional piece of aluminum foil to speed up the cooking process if you're shorter on time- you remove this tent about 25 minutes in, then resume cooking for another 10 minutes so the outside of peppers will begin to roast and brown
5. Cook in the oven for about 40-50 minutes or until desired tenderness. Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve!
I also roasted these little babies by throwing them on the baking dish alongside the peppers. Yum.

Hey, folks.
As you know, I am trying to transition this page to a different site, as well as somewhat change the format. It is going really well right now (although slower than planned), but I could use a few beta testers before I switch the domain name over and archive this blog from it.
You wouldn't need to dedicate a lot of time. I'd send you the direct link, you would have a look around, and then let me know what sucks about the page, what you liked, and if you would change or add anything.
Any takers?

Praise Be to Kin for Loved Ones!
Horn brim with longing-to-flow-over froth raised arm-high to ale-reflect the moon, I offer thanksgiving and celebrations of victory! Sky-wizards, earth-witches, elves and deep nornir, you have warped the woof and bent the bast-threads to grant my gift -- nourishing my need -- and I declare your magic before all nine worlds! Burdens of sorrow, and great, melancholic weights you have lifted! Praise Be the Holy Powers! Not my false entitlements to excess, but my genuine soul-needs you have honored! You have looked deep into my heart, which I have opened wide, and heard my cries! You have felt my poetic Tai Chi reaching to pull and push aside the web's threads, to play the world's taut bowstrings rather as a harp than bolts of dart. You have sensed my wizard-prayers in kinesthetic surfing, miming prayers on the moon's ether, and slow-motion dance-calligraphing need on the energetic tides! I weep and kiss the earth in praise, encomiums of fallen friends and ancestors on my lips, deep devotion to the High Gods in my heart! Victories, often being rare, deserve celebration! Praise Be the Gods for the precious gift of life! Praise Be to Urd for secret stitches stashed in larger knots to let loose slips of good surprises! Praise Be to Kin for Loved Ones and their Health and Happiness! Hail!

When we are firt contacted by someone out of the area with a description of their eye floater problem, it is usually followed by the question "Do you think I'm a candidate for treatment?". Our first question to them is: "How old are you?". Without knowing anything else, the age of the floater sufferer is the most important predictor of the type and location of the eye floater and consequently the potential for candidacy for treatment with the YAG laser.
Common vitreous degeneration, resulting in the subjective awareness of eye floaters, is not a well studied topic in the field of ophthalmology. Particularly regarding the types of floaters in younger people, which will be explained below. Fortunately, Dr. Johnson does not need to know why or how the floaters formed in their particular situation, but he does need to know what can or cannot be safely and predictably successfully treated. Please read through the following generalizations, but understand that there is overlap of characteristics and the age groupings are broad generalizations.
THE YOUNGEST GROUP: THE TEENS TO THE EARLY 30's
In this medical practice, the youngest group is the most frustrating group to work with. They do have real vitreous floaters as defined by some condensation of the otherwise and preferably clear vitreous fluid. Their floaters tend to be microscopic filaments, threads, and small clumps and more important is that they are very consistently physically located too close to the retina to safely and successfully treated with the YAG laser.
The YAG laser that Dr. Johnson uses in treating floaters has a very specific focal point where all the energy is focused. That focused energy needs to be kept away from the delicate structures of the eye, such as the lens towards the front, and the retina and optic nerve in the posterior portion of the eye. The floaters in young people tend to sit less than 1-2 millimeters from the retina. Any movement of the floaters tends to be translational and not away from the retina. So although Dr. Johnson uses the eye movements to his advantage, these fine, delicate and microscopic floaters generally do not move away from the retina. In addition, because these floaters are so close to the retina, the shadows cast on to the retina are usually quite distinct which makes them so bothersome to the patient. The laser operator has many more optical obstacles in his way. The light reflected from these microscopic entities has to pass through many optical tissues as well as multiple lens elements in the microscope before they can be seen. Floaters in young people are often something that the patient sees, but the doctor doesn't see. It is impossible to simply just increase the magnification. Microscopes don't work that way.
So here's the question that we are asked by young patients over and over again: "Do you think I'm a candidate for treatment?" My usual answer is "probably not based on your age alone". That said, there have been some notable exceptions of younger patients that I have been able to treat. But these situations are exceptional. Dr. Johnson will not turn any one away from the door because of their age, but we feel it is simply being respectful to convey the statistical likelihood as to the potential for treatment in younger patients. Ultimately, it does take an in-person evaluation to determine it for sure. READ OUR FAQs FOR YOUNG PEOPLE WITH EYE FLOATERS
In our experience, age group commonly has generally clear vitreous fluid with multiple, cob-web like strands of condensed vitreal collagen. These strands (or groups of strands) typically reside in the posterior 1/3 of the globe. They move quickly like they are tethered by elastic fibers. In other words, they will move across or near the central vision with head movement, then return to its preferred, stable position.
As far as the "treatability" of these floaters, it is difficult to predict. They are more treatable than the typical 20 year old, but not as treatable as a group compared to a 60 year old who probably has much more material, mass, and volume to treat. In addition, the fibers tend to be fairly dense and 'rubbery', requiring good energy delivery which is sometimes difficult working in the posterior 1/3 as well as peripheral regions of the vitreous space.
That all said, we have enjoyed some notable successes in this age group with greater than 50% treatability and success. We find that many of these otherwise healthy patients with long careers ahead of them do appreciate the improvement in the quality of vision when they are treatable.
The age group that is by far the most successfully treated is the older patient. This group makes up the bulk of our patient base. They have often experienced a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) or have more widespread degeneration of the vitreous larger clumps and masses.
The vitreous detachment may occur quite rapidly as there is a posterior movement and shift of this fluid. As this occurs, the vitreous body moves forward separating from the retina. The patient may experience a sudden onset of a large floater, or multiple scattered floaters, or thousands of small round specks scattered all throughout the eye.
Weiss Ring Floaters
A Weiss ring floater is a particular sub-type of floater that is always associated with a PVD, but a PVD does not necessarily produce a Weiss ring floater. These floaters are classically ring-shaped, but quite often they are not. These floaters are the most consistently, predictably, safely and successfully treated floaters.
Treatability of Older Patients
The good news is that even though the floaters associated with a PVD are typical larger and more extensive than with the younger age groups, these floaters are more successfully treated. They are usually clustered away from the critical eye structures (retina and lens), and the density of the Weiss ring-derived floaters absorb the laser energy readily and are definitively vaporized. There is some fragmentation of the floater into microscopic pieces that may benefit from further treatment or they may be so small as to be optically invisible. As with all patients, the other, cloud-like floaters that may also be present can be treated, but tend to have more of a tendency to regress or reform. This effect is described in detail on the Expectations of Laser Treatment page which may require more overall treatment effort.

Just leaps & Bounds
By Johnny Appleseed on Thursday, May 23, 2019So I optioned first a 2019 Ram Bighorn,8.5 inch nav loaded screen,Level II package,4x4,3:92 axle ELocker,6ft bed.Got pricing from 5 Ram dealerships.Went to 3 Ford dealership's and all of them never beat the price of the Ram 1500.And these were either ordered or on lots F-150 XLT trim with upgraded to 5.0L V-8 I did not want the V-6 TT turbo engine option to much money with 10 speed.Chevy's trucks interior was even close in terms of comfort and center-stack just look old schooled.Both the Ford and the Chevy were more money or with in 900.0 dallors of the Ram 1500 but the styling and interior was just way better than the Ford F-150,and the Silverado...GM was not discounting hardly at all so the dealers were bring the price down on there side..Ford F-150's interior was well just cheap looking with the small screen and hardly had no center storage because the shifter was there,not like the Ram 1500 had. The Ram 1500 center console is just way better design by a mile...Test drove all 3 and the Ram with the coil spring rode the best hands down and was far quieter inside while driving in city traffic during rush hour..My previous truck was a 2014 Ford F-150.I was a brand loyal kinda guy but after all the trips to these dealerships it became evident the Ram 1500 was the easy choice with my hard earn dallor..

Best ram I have ever owned
By big red on Monday, December 31, 2018I don think there is a truck on the market today that can match the 2019 ram I have the Laramie 4x4 I have had many rams 1500 in the past.I have also had GMC and CHEVY and FORD this 2019 ram is by far the nicest and most comfortable and best looking truck i have had

best driver of the big 3 by far.
By Jay on Monday, August 19, 2019I traded my 2018 GMC Sierra SLT premium plus for this truck. For the drive and the quality, my 2019 Ram beats the GMC. it has a more powerful engine that feels effortless in comparison, and the interior doesn't seem as cheap. Drivetrain definitely feels far superior out of the big 3.

Attn Blogshop owner
Re-Cycling Hearts Carnival will held in Monash University campus (Date: 25th May, Time: 8.00am-6.00pm). There are calling for blogshop owner who are interested in having a booth at RM65.
Re-Cycling Hearts is a charity event organized by Monash University Medicos Society (MUMedS) with Monash University Pharmacy Society (MUPhaS) in collaboration with Institut Jantung Negara Foundation (IJN Foundation).
The aim of the event is to raise awareness regarding organ donation, as well as to raise funds which will be donated to the 'Patient Assistance Programme' run by IJN Foundation that helps fund the treatment charges and provides financial assistance to the needy and less fortunate heart patients.
There won't be much competition as there is only putting 10-15 stalls for that carnival as the main thing is still Organ Donation (Pledging) and Health Awareness Campaign. They also have great publicity. Thus the blogshops will create a more lively atmosphere rather than solely Health Related.
The deposit is RM100 (will be returned on that day after the event)
The rental fee (RM65 per booth) will be donated to IJN foundation btw.
For more information, please join the event group on Facebook.http://www.facebook.com/group.

Lyaxtin Male Enhancement is a male sexual enhancement supplement. Various distinct elements influence the operation of a person from the bedroom, using their era. This is of extreme concern to the majority of guys, since they don't want to shed their manly art. The formulation promises to become an all natural remedy due to their hormonal worries.
Business Behind Lyaxtin Male Enhancement
The maker name instils great religion in almost any item. But, there's hardly any reliable information regarding the business that produces this item. That may sound somewhat unfair for the men and women who'd put money into the nutritional supplement, as they wouldn't know whom to get within an hour of need.
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement Claims
Lyaxtin Male Enhancements asserts are like nearly all other nutritional supplements :
An all natural formulation
same day outcomes
greater libido
enhanced energy
better sexual capacities
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement Ingredients
They assert that their product Is Made of all natural dietary supplements which balance the improper Wellness lifestyle of these people :
Ginseng, that is a generations old aphrodisiac
Pepper, an anti inflammatory
Citrus Extract
Rosemary and comparable blossoms
How Can Critical Khai Function?
One must take one serving of Lyaxtin Male Enhancement using just two glasses of plain water. Since the ingestion starts, the formulation spreads through ones body, also asserts to take instant effect. One will feel energized up along with also a better sexual drive. The product aims at fulfilling the guys who lack confidence in the sexual department. But, there are no magic formulas which may turn a normal man to a demi god inside a couple of minutes. It's thus highly advised to seek advice from a physician prior to consuming this supplement.
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement Experts
It supplies a daily diet nutritional supplement
Increases Libido and enables one to survive longer in bed
Boosts Power and increases sexual art
A natural formulation
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement Cons
Despite the promises of having an all natural ingredient, Critical Khai's promise for same day effects looks somewhat far fetched.
No particular ingredient that shows promise of getting immediate effect.
Ginger, Watermelons, Garlic are absorbed by nearly everyone as component of the normal diet, so, Lyaxtin Male Enhancement brings nothing special to offer you.
Hormonal imbalances may be improved with appropriate exercise and a healthful diet.
An excessive amount of usage may result in complications.
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement Outcomes
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement is a male enhancement supplement that claims to possess same day outcomes. However, this claim is very questionable, because the formulation lacks some highly effective ingredient. For the most advocated supplements from the doctors, it requires regular exercise to accompany the ingestion of any formulation, and quite a while before any results are attained.
Where to Purchase Lyaxtin Male Enhancement?
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement is only available through their site. They send out the product instantly after the order is placed. This enables rapid incorporation of this formulation, by the individual ordering it, into their everyday routine. The pricing details are available upon ordering this item.
Is Essential Khai a Scam?
According to recent studies, 60 percent of the men confront sexual troubles and feel inferior to other people, in regards to their sexual masculinity. Since Lyaxtin Male Enhancement guarantees same day results, the consumer will know straight away if the item works for them or not. Nobody should lose their assurance of being a guy, however, shortcuts never actually do work out at the long term.
Lyaxtin Male Enhancement Side Effects
Though Lyaxtin Male Enhancement doesn't mention any notable side effects. It boosts its pure formulation. Even then, the prospect of an allergic reaction occurring is extremely significant. Another effect that someone may face is more sexual difficulties cropping up, because of a sudden gain in the testosterone level. Therefore, an individual needs to consult with a physician, not follow self medicine regimes.
Final Verdict
No dietary supplement is a magical potion. Adequate exercise is crucial for any formulation to take effect. Male enhancement is a problematic issue too, because it's mainly a biologically designed variable. Decline in the effects of aging cannot be countered so readily, due to simply swallowing a glass of juice. Moreover, when was the last time anybody lasted more in bed by ingesting a ginger or watermelon? In addition, the proof of Lyaxtin Male Enhancement really functioning, is very scanty. Therefore, it's most likely not the very best that medical science offers.

Screw megapixels. Apple's done a fantastic job. These are raw photos taken with HDR enabled. Between the depth of field & awesome color representation, i'm really, really digging the new camera. You can also really feel the 40% bump in snappiness. Stay tuned for a more in depth camera test this weekend from Kings Canyon National Park.
(Side note, there's a drunk man in the first photo, and i have no idea who's dog this is.)

US high school group to perform concert for charity in Limerick
Members of Traverse City West Senior High Orchestra, from Michigan
A GROUP of US high school musicians will perform a concert in the city in aid of Cliona's Foundation on Thursday.
The Traverse City West Senior High Orchestra from Michigan will perform a concert of American and Irish music in Dance Limerick, St John's Church, at 8pm, making their debut appearance in the city as a result. Tickets are €5.
Twenty one musicians, aged between 14-18 years, will perform a programme of rock n roll, folk music, jazz and contemporary original music and director Ann Marie Jones said the group was "excited" to be performing in Limerick.
"For many of our young members, this is their first time to perform outside the US and they, along with their families and the whole school community, are excited to be sharing their music with new audiences in Ireland," she said.
"We're looking forward to the cultural and musical connections we will make and we're especially pleased to partner with Cliona's Foundation for our concert.
"Our young members are very proud to think that their talents will help to raise funds for such a worthwhile cause, supporting critically ill children and their families."
Terry Ring, co-founder of Cliona's Foundation, along with her husband Brendan, which was founded in 2007 to provide financial assistance for critically ill children, said the charity was "delighted" to be chosen as a partner by the orchestra.
"As we support children and their families, teaming up with these talented young people is a lovely fit for us," said Terry.
"Cliona's Foundation understands that the ordeal of a child's grave illness or injury tests families far beyond their endurance, taking an enormous toll financially, emotionally and physically. While we cannot cure a child, we want to help families to cope by providing financial assistance when all other resources have been exhausted.
"We hope that Limerick audiences will join us for a wonderful evening of music while, at the same time, supporting the work of Cliona's Foundation," she added.

Getting Started with Nuisance Call Blocking
Protect Yourself from Nuisance Calls
Nuisance calls are on the rise, and it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep them away, but home phones and broadband suppliers are fighting against them. BT have always been in the lead when it comes to Nuisance Call Blocking, let's take a look at your options, and what you should pick for your situation.
Call Blocking Software
There are many home phones out there with software built into the phone itself to help block out nuisance calls, there are 3 main types of call blocker that you will find in BT phones, however you will need caller display enabled on your line for these to work:
Nuisance Call Blocker
This is the most basic level of nuisance call blocking you will find in BT telephones, and easily identified with the blue shield icon. It allows you to maintain a small list of numbers, usually 20 numbers, which will be completely blocked and not cause the phone to ring.
Nuisance Call Blocker Plus
This version is slightly more advanced than the one above, which adds a very useful feature, this time you have a 50 number block list with the facility to also add groups of caller categories which will be automatically blocked, such as withheld numbers, international numbers or calls from an unavailable number. This system allows the freedom to block calls from an unwanted origin.
Premium Call Blocking
This is BT's top level call management, identified with the red shield icon with 3 stars, this includes the two preceding call blocking systems, this time being able to block 1000 individual numbers, with another amazing feature to get every call, even if it manages to sneak past the origin settings. You can set it to make callers announce their name before your phone rings, so you can decide from that short message if you want to take the call, you can set all people not in the contacts list on the phone announce or get diverted automatically to the answer phone, you can set up all sorts of combinations.
Examples: BT 8600, BT 8610, BT 4600, BT Decor 2600, BT Halo
BT's Call Protect Service (1572)
BT are now offering new a service that's free to their customers, called BT Call Protect. This is a feature that can be enabled on your line to help block out Nuisance calls without the need a home phone that has the software for it. Once it's activated on you line, all you need to do is dial 1572 to take you to the Call Protect Settings. There are 3 main things BT Call Protect does to help block out them Nuisance calls:
BT Blacklist
BT are always on the lookout for the worst nuisance call offenders, and once BT have identified them, they will automatically divert them for you.
Personal Blacklist
You are able to add any number you like to your personal blacklist, including the last call. Then any future calls from those numbers will go straight into BT's junk voicemail.
Types of Caller
You can send certain types of call to BT's junk voicemail. You can block any international numbers, withheld numbers or unrecognized numbers.
What do I need?
Making a choice on your nuisance blocking can be difficult, but that's what we're here for. Let's start by comparing BT's Service, and BT's software in the phones themselves, BT's call protect service would best compare to Nuisance Call Blocker Plus, both allow you to block a certain list of specific numbers, and also allow you to block groups such as International or Withheld.
Advantages of BT's New Call Protect
- Phones that don't have nuisance call blocker are much cheaper
- Many groups and collections of numbers are already blocked for you by BT's expanding list
- Swapping out your phone for another one won't delete your blacklist or settings
Advantages of Nuisance Call Blocker PLUS
- Everything is stored on your phone directly, making it very easy to manage
- You do not have to be a BT customer to use these BT Call Blocking phones
- The ability to white-list numbers, so they can get through, no matter what your settings are (With Call Protect, you would need 1571 to do this)
I have Call Protect, but i'm still getting Nuisance Calls
If Nuisance Call Blocker PLUS or Call Protect is not enough to stop the Nuisance Calls, then you should consider upgrading to a phone that has BT's Premium Call Blocker that I described just above. Using the virtual assistant to have the caller announce who they are means many callers may just hang up before they even bother, and even if they stay, you can block their number with a single button before they even start talking to you. Some suggestions for the Premium Call Blocker would be BT 8600, BT 8610, BT 4600, BT Decor 2600, BT Halo.

Apple's Beats brand in April unveiled the Powerbeats Pro, a redesigned wire-free version of its popular fitness-oriented Powerbeats earbuds.
Samsung Said to Follow Apple's Lead with Fingerprint Sensor, No Iris Scanner in Galaxy S5
"Among the different types of biometric sensors that Samsung is testing for its Galaxy S5, the tech giant will go for fingerprint authentication rather than unintuitive user experience of iris recognition," said an industry source who declined to be named.
"Who would want to put their handset up close to their eyes for authentication in places like movie theaters and bed, or even while they are driving?," the industry source added.
Samsung Vice President Lee Young-hee said in a recent Bloomberg interview that the company was looking into the possibility of using an iris scanner, but can't confirm that the technology would be incorporated into the Galaxy S5.
"Many people are fanatical about iris recognition technology. We are studying the possibility but can't really say whether we will have it or not on the S5."The Korea Herald report cites industry sources who claim the iris scanning technology would provide an unfamiliar and uncomfortable user experience. It also is technically challenging as it would require a long-range camera, in addition to a rear camera and a front-facing camera. The inclusion of three camera modules would force Samsung to redesign both the internal layout and form factor of its Galaxy S phones.
Apple has also been rumored to be working on iris scanning functionality, but industry insiders predict it will take several years before a single camera module will be able to serve dual functions as a front-facing camera and an iris scanner. In the interim, manufacturers like Samsung are expected to adopt display-wide fingerprint scanners that would unlock a phone by allowing a user to tap on the screen. Apple has revealed its own interest in such technology, including the ability to turn display areas corresponding to app icons such as those for banking or email apps into fingerprint sensors.

You think Apple invented fingerprint scan security?
No, but just like multi touch, App Store, Siri, and dozens of countless features, they were the first to put it in a useful package rather than geeky proof of concepts, and that's what samsung copies; not technology itself as much as practicality of technology
"Who would want to put their handset up close to their eyes for authentication in places like movie theaters and bed, or even while they are driving?," the industry source added.
Using the phone in a movie theatre or the car? these are the people that should be restricted from all forms of technology!
You think Apple invented fingerprint scan security?
That's pretty unfair as a comment: I agree with you that there is no way that Apple will actually be able to sue over Samsung playing copycat with a fingerprint sensor, but just look at the first Android implementation of a fingerprint scanner. Its clumsy, on the back, smudges the camera every time you use it, inaccurate and pretty unpleasant to use.
At the same time Apple brings out a solution which is always there, working in the background, very easy to set up and impressively accurate. All of a sudden Android manufacturers are like "oh yeah, that's obviously how we would have implemented a fingerprint sensor in an intuitive, non-gimmicky way" and bring it straight to their phones. HTC will pretend their first fingerprint phone never even happened and that Apple's way was always what they planned to do.
I like competition, I like certain things that Android manufacturers do, less so Samsung but the HTC One is a gorgeous phone and the Nexus 4 and 5 are both outstanding value for money, but its things like this, like that internal Samsung document that leaked showing Samsung trying to make their user experience more iPhone-like that REALLY hacks me off.
Heres a photo of their prototype:
Apple's legal team is the big winner here?
You think Apple invented fingerprint scan security?
Given a choice, I would much prefer a device with no biometric systems in it at all.
Right, Xerox management took the R&D ideas their own team developed and created a sales winning personal computing revolution that swept the world over the last thirty years. Changing how everyone on the planet interacts with their computing devices. Yup, i still recall the early days of the Xerox PC, how it made inroads in all other computing platforms. How even early scoffers later adopted the interface as their own. And how today Xerox is a world leader in computing devices. .........Steps back into multi universe phase shifting portal .......presses return to reality button and disappears .......
You know, the first GUI computer made by Apple, The Lisa, cost almost exactly the same amount as the Xerox Star, and didn't sell that much more. The Macintosh also didn't set the world on fire saleswise. It was a modest success for its first year, then sales dropped sharply for it afterwards.
When you look at the first Mac from outside Apple world, it was a great precursor device, but not the world changing machine it's made out to be.

Mood: Somewhat happy and tired
After nearly 7 years, our heroine, Lina Inverse is back in action!! Applause please~! Haha!
Yes, you heard it right! Slayers is back with more action. Though this new was announced early this year, almost all Slayers fans are welcoming it for a long time. Slayers Revolution!
Title: Slayers Revolution
Number of Episode: To be announced
Main Cast:
- Hayashibara Megumi as Lina Inverse
- Matsumoto Yasunori as Gourry Gabriev
- Midorikawa Hikaru as Zelgadiss Graywords
- Suzuki Masami as Ameria Wil Tesla Saillune
- Ohtsuka Akio as Wizer (some inspector)
- Katou Natsuki as Kuppy(I think she is also the main character....)
- Kobayashi Yumiko as Pokota (No sure what kind of a character this is...)
Opening: Plenty of Grit by Hayashibara Megumi
Ending: Revolution by Hayashibara Megumi
So let's get down with the first episode!
It started off with a group of pirates having celebrating their victory. Unfortunate for them.... FIREBALL!! Yep~! That's our heroine, Lina entering the scene with her famous killer move, fireball! Well, not forgetting our dear jellyfish head Gourry! While the pirates are still unfamiliar with Lina, demanding to know who she was, and as per usual, Lina started her extremely long and self-center introduction. (Yeah, her genius beautiful sorceress speech but in a rather long version.) Gourry added a bad comment about her appetite and earning himself a punch.
And we have a cut scene about an army of ships with Saillune flag just a few miles away from Lina(Oh do I even need to say more?). For those who knew, yep, our favourite justice-speech princess of Saillune, Ameria is on board of the ship with our all time life-is-miserable, Zelgadiss. ^^ I wonder why they are together in the first place... Hmm... But anyway, they appeared to be searching for Lina. No. I rephrase that. They ARE searching for Lina. Our new guy, what's his name... Er... Oh yeah, Wizer is also with Ameria.
Back with Lina, after a few rounds of punching up the gang, (In the process, Gourry's sword broke into half and he cried and tried to repair it.) the leader of the gang wanted to use a lady as a hostage but... It turns out the lady is a fish... er... No... I mean mermaid? Anyway, so they tried and it failed as badly it seems. The fish... No... I mean the mermaid, who heard Lina's name got a shock of her life and explain to the rest of the people on board above her killing and destroying of the towns and everything which eventually freaking everyone on board as they heard these tales before. Lina... Well... She isn't that pleased... No one knew her name until then...
While the pirates pleased for forgiveness from Lina, Ameria started her... Well... Attack. Lina, who saw the flag on the ship, immediately recognized it. A short reunion. And during that short period, the pirates tried to run away and calling Lina flat-chested as per usual, pissing her off. And... You know next. Lina busted them off. ^^ Not with Dragon Slave with less delight.
With that, a short break. Returning to us, is Lina and Gourry eating in the inn, waiting for Ameria and Zelgadiss to arrive. And... Look at the plates! Lina just doesn't change does she? And then, Ameria and Zelgadiss arrive and they start greeting each other. Well, not for Gourry. He is still wondering their names which make everyone unbelievable, even Lina. (Jelly Head) And returning to us, Wizer, who... Came here to capture Lina. Her crime? For being Lina Inverse. ... Yeah. For being Lina Inverse. -__-" Er... Then... Well... Ameria and the others went to their own group and start some weird conversation about Lina being Lina Inverse is seriously a big crime or something and Lina kicks them hard. Then, Wizer tells them about not to resist the arrest or they will meet with the army outside. As we understand Lina's personality, she will not be taken down this easily. She took on the army and finished almost half of them with one blast. ^^
While Lina wanted to fight on(Which that's what I believe), Zelgadiss suggested for them to get away. Well, they did ran away. (I realized I switch to past tense.) Until they met up with a magical switch... Er... Correction... A magic machine... Er... Turtle? Lina and the others ran away, realizing that the weakness of this machine is its speed(I am not sure, that's what I guess.). But they were caught up with the army and the machine eventually and they were force to battle.
Gourry wanted to take on the machine but his sword broke again. (And he tried to repair it again.) It was then the machine caught and attacked him and Zelgadiss actually came in as well. He proudly told the others that the machine attack is not effective to him due to his special bod while Gourry got burnt. Then, Zelgadiss analysis the weakness to be the bottom of the machine and Lina, along with Ameria attacked the machine. They managed to make the machine spin... towards them... ^^; Destroying parts of the town and the army.
When you were expecting Lina casting Dragon Slave, we heard someone else already started chanting. Yep, another new fellow... I still have no idea which is the name to it but... Hey, isn't it a stuff anime?! And this fellow destroyed the town. Isn't it like Lina? Well, with that, Lina is really pissed off. And it ended here.

Unrealized public project for Stanford University and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, 2007
A think tank about a think tank. The Bastard Academy is a site and situation for research about Stanford University's right-wing think tank The Hoover Institute.
From the proposal:
The Bastard Academy is a research center dedicated to the pan-ideological study of the Hoover Institution (a legendary right-wing public policy think tank located on the Stanford campus). The Bastard Academy will be sited for one year adjacent to the Hoover Institution in a custom-designed temporary structure that will host ongoing meetings, presentations and research distribution. The goal is to contemplate, through broad, unexpected, and even contradictory inquiry the influential and historical role of the Hoover Institution on campus and in the world. The Bastard Academy encourages multi-disciplinary and pan-ideological research and will therefore invite (through open call and direct solicitation) a wide range of individuals and groups throughout the campus community and beyond to act as research fellows and guest speakers.
The Bastard Academy takes its inspiration from:
-Stanford's influential free school movement of the late 60s, particularly a temporary school organized on campus in 1967 whose mission was to explore the relationship between the university and the military industrial complex.
-The current frenetic building boom all over campus where each new building is designed around the area of study housed within;
-The paradoxical identity of the Hoover itself as a private institution (it is technically a renter on campus) within a larger private institution.
-The ironic function of the Hoover as both an open federal public archive with the largest collection of post WWII leftist propaganda in the country and a semi-secretive right-wing public policy production center. (Each fellow will be responsible for publishing their research in the form of a poster which because of the nature of its focus will be entered into the Hoovers own archives.
-Rodin's Thinker, located on Stanford's campus next to his equally famous piece the Gates of Hell, which is the figurative embodiment of the poet/philosopher. But unlike Rodin's sculpture and others artworks on campus, the Bastard Academy is not figurative (or abstract), but literal, designed to function as a dynamic platform for thinking about thinking, the fundamental labor of the philosopher.

February 2017 by Dr. Sara Pizano
Audience: Executive Leadership, Veterinary Team
"Best practices" isn't a buzz-phrase that has nothing to do with animal shelters. It's a set of programs, procedures, and partnerships proven to increase lifesaving in communities across the country.
Please join Dr. Sara Pizano of Target Zero on Tuesday, February 7, 2016, at 4 PM Eastern Time for Best Practice Strategies for Redefining Animal Sheltering. This free webcast will help offer a fresh perspective with regards to the way animals may enter the shelter and key practices that help the most leave alive, all by working smarter, not harder.
This course has been pre-approved for Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits.
Attendees will learn:
- Studies and data on how we know implementing best practices works to save lives
- What progressive shelters are doing, including collaboration and public-private partnerships
- Funding and responsible financial management
- Ordinance and state law reviews
- The value of subsidized and safety net programs in the community, great customer service, open adoptions, rescue partnerships, foster programs, community cat diversion, and more!
Target Zero has worked with communities around the country, helping them solve problems, save taxpayer dollars, and decrease euthanasia, which animal lovers in those communities believe is no longer acceptable as a form of population control.

This board of the highest price range (even without a wireless adapter) has a good bundle and excellent features.
The company hasn't changed the traditional board design and hasn't moved memory sockets to CPU realigned, as seen on some prototypes. Therefore it has no unusual circuitry, but a number of usual disadvantages peculiar to higher-end motherboards: some slots to the left are not very suitable for installation, audio connectors are located in front of PCI slots, while FDD and SATA/IDE RAID are behind them (still you can lay the former sideward, so it doesn't impede). In their turn, cabling might impede memory modules manipulations. And some jumpers might be hard to access during the installation. +5V Standby is indicated by a green LED. The 3-channel CPU switching regulator has 6 x 1500 microfarad and 3 x 1200 microfarad capacitors. There are also AGP (2 x 1000 microfarad and some of less capacity) and memory (4 x 1000 microfarad) voltage stabilizers.
Circuited, but unsoldered are: CPU clock switches, IrDA and SMBus. We don't know in what model these should be present, as today it's company's only solution on VIA K8T800 (it seems like a legacy of samples or even the previous chipset). The board is sized 305õ245 mm (full-size ATX, 9-screw mount to fix all parts). Winbond W83697HF chip is used for hardware to monitor:
Ports, connectors and slots
Back panel (from left to right, blockwise)
Integrated controllers
The integrated audio quality was estimated in the 16bit/44kHz mode using RightMark Audio Analyzer 5.1 and Terratec DMX 6fire:
General performance: Good (details).
Proprietary technologies
We used BIOS 1003 beta 012 as the latest available at the moment of testing.
According to the preliminary tests, this model is very close to the leaders as well as almost all other solutions on VIA K8T800 (<2% difference).

Facebook Plays With Online Gambling
It's genius. In the United Kingdom, Facebook is experimenting with legal gambling online by launching a real-money gambling app. Like I've always said, if you cannot make money the old-fashioned way, open a casino or go into porn. I suspect that porn will be next for Facebook. But first, it has to take this gambling idea as far as possible.
In the United States, Facebook hasn't announced plans for any such gambling initiative, but I can assure you that someone is working on it now. Just think about the possibilities. You can go on Facebook and check in to see what your close friends (who you would not care about if it were not for Facebook) are doing or what they are gossiping about. You can post a few things on a few walls. You can complain about the government. Then, you can go into the Facebook Casino and blow your whole paycheck on video poker. Fantastic!
Facebook is a somewhat disappointing company from the perspective of investors, who cannot see real revenue growth anytime soon from traditional advertising. It could, however, become a juggernaut in the online gaming world. This all coincides nicely with numerous attempts to legalize online gaming, be it poker or sports betting.
Reaching nearly a billion users, Facebook should be able to rally the masses to promote gaming legislation that would benefit the company. Just think of it. You can have gambling and Gamblers Anonymous groups on the same site.
If you are looking for a rationale, look no further than the state governments and their various lottery scams. "Win $100 Million! Play Powerball!" These stupid games pay out poorly and seem to generate very little income for the states after the middlemen take most of it for administration purposes. I'd guess that if the states see Facebook gaming as a new income stream, they'll jump at the chance.
Facebook is headquartered in California, which is essentially bankrupt. The state should welcome this genius idea.
I'll give the credit to Zuckerberg, although I'm sure some underling suggested it first. The company has seen how well the various Zynga games have done on the site. Now, just add a pure gambling component with real money and real payouts and you have the money grab of the century. Facebook stock will skyrocket.
I should mention that, as far as I'm concerned, gambling is bad for the spirit and should be avoided. Too many people become addicted to gambling and by its nature, those people end up ruined. It's too common to ignore. I like the idea of isolated outposts of rampant gambling like Las Vegas or Reno. At least you get to enjoy the spectacle. There will be no spectacle with Facebook gambling. You'll only hear the sound of money being sucked from the Facebook users' bank accounts.
After that, I expect to see the Yahoo Casino and the Google Gambling Palace, where they have "Guaranteed Winners!" and "The BEST Odds!"
None of this is good.

Perhaps you are looking for a Ponte Vedra Beach limo to make your even look colorful.Be advised that getting a trustworthy company with good limo services can be stressful.There are so many companies and a variety of cars to choose from and you don't know how to go about it. You will find a good company and so; you do not have to worry. You will get to know more about searching for limo services in this article.
As you embark on your search, you need to know that every limousine service must have a license number. Note that the certification is normally given by the state allowing it to run lawfully. You will know a good company if it is registered with a bigger union. It is good that you get to know if there have been some issues that had been reported by former customers.
Note that experience in business is highly important.The companies that have been in the business for quite a number of years are better than the new ones. It is good that you know the background of the limo service before you hire them. Note that there are numerous limo companies and they are managed by professional managers and drivers.
Note that each car should have a profit-making vehicle cover. Ensure that you inspect the limo in person. It is good that you ask for photos of the car if it is not at the company.It is significant that you examine the car and confirm the make, model, and facilities inside. It is highly advisable that you seek for advice from those close to you on where to find the best corporate travel Ponte Vedra Beach limo services.
Maybe a friend contracted a service provider and he or she loved their services; it is good that you hire it.Note that positive referrals are the ones to go for. Do not worry because they have competent workers who are on call day and night.If you are dealing with a limo service that handles airport assignments, correspondents must be in the office at all times.
Note that the service provider always has an emergency number if they deal with clients who go out at night, proms and many others. Note that the limo service company should always be there for you whenever you need them. The service provider might have countless cars but their services are poor. Note that a competent limo service company ensures that their drivers are free from drugs. Respectable companies cannot employ a person without knowing about them deeply.

This silence is a
standing in, metaphor for both
agency and imposition
bundled up in a body
that is caught in
This silence is
both the privilege of savarna body and
unease of a woman's body.
This silence is ugly for what implies --
This silence protects me
and demolishes me
at the same time --
this silence is both my
privilege and my pain.
This silence is an uncomfortable woman:
walking out of a metro at the wrong station
just because a man is staring at you.
This silence is an uncomfortable savarna:
walking out of a debate about reservations
because i had the privilege to be able to.
This silence is more than
what meets the eye:
pleasure, pain, hiding, seeking,
sometimes loving.
I am a quiet person.
I don't explain what I'm thinking,
I don't talk about what hurts.
I am a quiet person,
but sometimes this silence
does more harm than good.
To me, and to the communities
who have been oppressed by this kind of silence
for years.
To me, and to the communities
who have been oppressing with this kind of silence
for years.

Thumbs up for the Grand Rapids City High School students from West Michigan. These kids proudly stood up for the LGBT community.
The Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education West Michigan Chapter, The Fountain Club and Fountain Street Church high school youth group were happy to sponsor the 4th annual West Michigan Alternative Prom on Saturday, May 3. Every single high school student was welcome to The 'Great Gatsby' dance.
For those of you who haven't heard of this initiative yet, it's actually pretty cool. The alternative prom is created to give that typical and classic high school experience for gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual youth and allies. It's organized in a safe environment where they can feel happy and accepted instead of uncomfortable or unwanted. This is the reason why Isabel's (a junior at the high school) sister organized the first alternative pro m in 2011. Why shouldn't students with an alternative lifestyle be able to experience everything that other students do as well?
I think it's a great initiative. It gives these students a sense of acceptance and they can connect with other LGBT youth. They shouldn't feel excluded and by taking part in the alternative prom, they don't. So, yay to Alternative Prom and yay to Isabel's sister.

We started a new series on the First Epistle of Peter on Sunday, but who is the author?
Here is Steve's intro about the person of Peter.
Peter identifies himself as Peter, the Apostle of Jesus Christ. An apostle was a witness to the resurrected Jesus of Nazareth, someone who had been called and appointed by Jesus to lead this first generation of the new thing called the Church.
This means, Peter isn't writing this as "friend" or even "pastor" or "leader". He's writing this letter under an immense weight of authority - he's writing it as a called out, appointed, chosen witness of the most disruptive person and event of human history: God become flesh, God dead, God resurrected, in the person of Jesus.
Peter had been with Jesus since the beginning. Jesus came along and called him out of his career as a fisherman.
Peter's the one who always spoke first among the followers of Jesus. Peter's the one who, through the revealing work of the Holy Spirit, spoke the words that Jesus was God's Messiah, the chosen, anointed One of promise that the Jewish nation had been longing for.
Peter is the one who has the audacity to walk on water, and the failure of nerve once he's out of the boat. Peter is one of three who experienced the transfiguration of Jesus, when the primary prophets of Israel appeared, talking with Jesus, when the voice of God thundered across the mountain that Jesus was his beloved Son, when the appearance of Jesus was changed and made radiant with the glory of God. Peter was there.
Peter was the one who upon hearing Jesus speak of the death that awaited him in Jerusalem vows that it should never be so. The one to whom Jesus says, get behind me satan--you do not have the concerns of God.
Peter was the one who refused to let Jesus wash his feet, but upon hearing that without this washing he'd have no part of Jesus, begs for his entire being to be washed. Peter was the one who vowed never to desert Jesus, even if it meant death.
Tradition has it that Peter was the one who struck off the ear of the High Priest's servant at the arrest scene of Jesus. Peter was the one who fled, but followed at a distance. Peter was the one who denied Jesus three times, fearing even the penetrating stare of a young girl, cursing up a storm in an attempt to distance himself from the strange God-Man Jesus.
Peter was the one who wept bitterly at his own failure, his own disowning of Jesus. Peter was the one who ran to the empty tomb. Peter was the one who encountered the risen Jesus and was asked, "Peter, do you love me?" Do you love me. Do you love me. Feed my sheep. Feed my sheep.
Peter was the one that Jesus said would be the stone upon which the Church would be built. Peter was the one who, filled with the Holy Spirit, stood up among his brothers and preached the gospel of Jesus crucified and risen.
Peter was the one who had a vision of unclean things being made clean, the one who was told to speak the name of Jesus to Gentiles. Peter was the one who would eventually be dragged to Rome and crucified upside down, a final, gruesome testament to the upending of his entire life by Jesus of Nazareth.
From Pentecost on, Peter wandered among his own people as a stranger, embodying the very exile that he now attributes to the churches scattered throughout Asia Minor.
Peter, the one who's entire life has been marked by reconciliation to Jesus, the one who's entire life is now wrapped up in the task Jesus has given to him: to feed the sheep of God, begins to kneed the dough of spiritual bread in this letter to exiles, dispersed throughout the empire.

Flattered doesn't even begin to describe how I feel about my recent appearance on the missed connection forum.
Whoever wrote that, Thank you, it truly did brighten my day, and by that I mean my year.
It makes me smile that someone would take the time to write out such a sweet note for/about me.
I hope one day he breaks his anonymity and I could have a new friend at shows (i'm no home-wrecker).
The missed connection:
Cold World... - m4w - 23 (Canal Club/Alley Katz)
Date: 2008-09-22, 5:43PM EDT
You- Cutest face with light brown hair, tight jeans. You have a great smile. You knew all the words and you were so pretty up on that stage.
Me- Seriously impressed and wishing my girlfriend was as awesome as you seem to be.
I just had to get this out there; I hope it brightens your day because you certainly brightened my Saturday night. Maybe we'll cross paths again when the time is right...
Thank you. E>

Refuse to Lose
It's so awesome watching peoples faces at shows.
After waiting 2 hours through shitty rock bands, Cold World got on stage.
All of us, grasped to every note they played in the warm up, trying to catch the opening riff to that song we've waited all night to see.
Everyone's faces show the wheels trying to pair each note with the right song.
I was on stage and danced my cute little self with every down beat.
Lovin' it.
Best Cold World show EVER.
Still got my digits.

Le Sigh...
Nothing makes me more frustrated then coming home to a dark house...aka sans electricity.
So instead of squinting over homework, I went and bought tons of things to bake.
This mixed with the fall weather outside has turned my sour mood into a content smile.
Yay Fall.

The lunchtime quest for a great sandwich seems to never end in this town. But add another — and might I say higher quality — option to the choices available to hungry Gallery Place/Penn Quarter dwellers.
Cowgirl Creamery is now offering two pre-made sandwiches each day using the fabulous cheeses they sell and soft rolls from Breadline. Last week, the offerings were prosciutto with cave aged cheddar, dijon and tomatoes for $6.75 (pictured) and Cypress Grove chevre with olive tapenade and tomatoes for $6.25. Both the bread and the ingredients made for a great combination.

Purses: Pacquiao - $12 million
Bout Summary
Hatton came out in the opening round looking to apply pressure and make it a physically rough fight. Pacquiao, however, was able to land effective counters and caught the visibly slower Hatton with big punches upstairs. It was evident that Hatton wanted to rush his way in and work mostly on the inside, but failed to move his head effectively and was repeatedly caught as he came forward. Hatton was put down twice in the opening round. The first came by way of a right hook. Hatton remained one one knee until the referee's count of eight. After making it to his feet, he was clearly shaken and spent much of the remainder of the round in survival mode. The second knockdown took place in the last few seconds of the round from an accumulation capped with a straight left that sent Hatton falling backwards. Hatton landed a few decent punches in the opening of Round 2 and for a split second it appeared that he might have regained himself enough to make it a competitive fight. A sudden and perfect left hand, however, put Hatton out and sent him straight to the mat. He remained lying flat on his back in the center of the ring as the referee, kneeling beside him, waved the finish rather than count to ten. Hatton, who looked to be in bad shape after the knockout, was down in the ring for a few tense moments as he was attended to by the ringside physicians.
- "The fight was no surprise to me. We know he always pumps his hands before he throws a punch. He's a sucker for the right hook."
- Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach [6]
- "I didn't think it would be so easy, but I worked hard since the beginning of March in training camp. He was open for the right hook. I knew he'd be looking for the left. This was nothing personal. I was just doing my job. This was as big for me as the (Oscar) De La Hoya victory."
- Pacquiao in the post-fight interview[7]
- "I would suggest he retire. At the end of the day, it's his decision. He tried twice. He failed twice. He lost to my son and to lose to someone below that, it's time to leave the ring. He made a good profit. Sometimes you have to go when your prime is still there." - Hatton's trainer Floyd Mayweather [8] (Of note, there were previous mentionings that the camp leading up to this fight would likely be the last partnership between Hatton and Mayweather regardless of the outcome.)[9]

Can't find what you're looking for?
content syndication services can help you reach a larger audience of buyers
Content syndication is a lead generation tactic whereby your marketing content is distributed on third-party sites. Users who want to view your content must provide their contact information before downloading or viewing it, thereby providing you with their details as someone who has an interest in what your company sells. These leads are sometimes referred to as Marketing Qualified Leads (MQL's).
Your marketing content is the content you have developed for consumption by potential prospects. These would be items such as white papers, research reports, guides, eBooks, infographics, webinars, marketing events, case studies, videos.
A marketing qualified lead is a potential customer that has shown an interest in what you are offering to sell.
MQLs are typically passed on to sales teams once they have shown intent to buy, thus becoming sales qualified leads (SQL's).
Firmographic data allows marketing teams to segment their target markets into an ideal audience that they can then use to target specific groups of companies or individuals who are most appropriate to these enterprises. This data usually includes the geographic location, number of employees, industry type, job titles, and other data.
In the simplest terms, intent data demonstrates when a prospect or account is exhibiting the most propensity to purchase.
As business people, we all research topics that are of interest to us. B2B buyers and decision makers do the same. Your Contact Form on your website is one example of intent data. It is called first-party data because it happens on your website. The person contacting you is openly revealing their intent – that they want to know more about your products & services.
Another type of intent data is knowledge about what business-related topics companies are researching and reading across the internet via video views, white paper downloads, webinar attendances, search activity, and so on.
This type of intent data (also called third-party data), which is collected in enormous volumes globally, provides insight into the topics of interest to companies.
What follows is the capacity for a prospect to engage with a company that provides solutions relevant to the topics they are researching.
Marketers can leverage Internal Results' intent data to create customised campaigns for specific customers based on demonstrated levels of interest in a particular topic.
Surge data identifies which companies are actively researching your products and services, signalling when and what they want to hear from you. Many companies have buying committees, meaning there are many decision makers across an organisation.
By recognising a "surge" on a particular topic from that specific account helps you know that many people within that company are searching for products like yours.
Also called 'install base' data, our competitive intelligence data is the information about the different technology platforms that an organisation may have installed. Therefore, we can tell you what companies are using what technologies.
Some of our popular install base list categories are:
- Analytics & Tracking
- eCommerce Platforms
- e-Learning
- Email Technologies
- Enterprise Content
- Enterprise Applications
- Marketing Automation Technologies
- Network Computing
Sales and marketing teams can use this competitive intelligence data to upsell, cross-sell, find complimentary products, or run competitive displacement campaigns.
Depending on which service you choose, we use an email marketing approach or a blended approach of both email marketing and telemarketing. Other filters that can be applied are intent data & surging topics and installed technology data (competitive intelligence).
A blended approach is an email marketing campaign followed up with a telemarketing campaign. Our telemarketing team asks each prospect that has opted-in to receiving your content a series of up to 4 additional questions, set by you, during the campaign.
We confirm that each prospect we contact is happy to receive your marketing content. In doing this, we ensure that you can add this contact to your CRM database for additional email campaigns direct from your marketing team in the future.
Highly experienced! We work with some of the largest online publishers in the industry, along with a significant number of the biggest firms in the information technology sector.
Pricing is based on the following criteria: The number of leads required; the type of campaign (email only or blended); the different criteria set, such as intent data & competitive intelligence; and whether you require A/B testing.
Yes, we can. We can A/B test a variety of areas such as subject lines, images, content. We can also send email in both HTML and text formats. Simply tell us your preferences, and we will organise it for you.
