The Gambia Police Force on Thursday 21st September 2017, sensitized the community of Brufut on Community Policing.
The event which attracted scores of participants from a cross section of the community, was organized by the Community Policing Unit in collaboration with the Human Rights Unit, Complaint and Discipline Unit and the Press and Public Relations Office of the Gambia Police Force. The Alkalo of Brufut, Alh. Malamin Manneh, had expressed profound gratitude and delight to be associated with such an educative and productive event.
According to the Alkalo, such events will surely raise the awareness level of communities on policing and Community Police matters. He appealed to the Office of the Inspector General of Police, through the visiting team, to embark on more nationwide sensitization programs and events like the one held in Brufut.
The officer commanding Community Policing Unit at the GPF, Superintendent Lamin Jaiteh, had stressed the need for community policing to be re-enforced and strengthened in all the communities within the country. He tasked communities to establish Community Policing structures for implementation at the grass root. "Community policing is one of the surest ways of making the Gambia a crime free country," he said. He underscored the need for communities to share timely and relevant information with the Police. This according to him, is vital in combating crime and criminality. The Community Policing Commander, used the opportunity to encourage other communities to emulate the likes of Farafenni and Brufut in their fight against crime and criminality.
The Imam of Brufut Ghana Town Alh. Ismaila Jagne, on his part prayed for the Gambia Police Force under the leadership of the Inspector General, Landing Kinteh, and all the Senior Management of the GPF, for Allah's guidance and protection, for coming up with such a noble initiative. Imam Jagne said this is not the first time the police have sensitized the community of Brufut on community policing. He was however quick to add that this particular event was an exception because of the approach and positive dimension the police took. He said the session has enlightened them to have a better understanding of the law which according to him, is important in operating a community police structure.
Mr. Yahya Sarjo, a teacher from Brufut village, reminded the elders to put more effort in the discipline and home training of their children. According to him, most problems that the community is faced with is as a result of the indiscipline nature of our children and he blamed the parents for not taking their responsibly. He expressed the need for members of the village to put aside their differences and concentrate on the interest of the community first, for a sustainable and meaningful development.
Speaking on behalf of the women, Mrs. Olley Jammeh reminded the gathering especially women, to be caring, steadfast and ready to inculcate discipline in their children. According to her, since most women spend more time with their children at home, they must endeavour to see to it that children are disciplined, and distanced from criminal activities and the use of illicit drugs to avoid them being liabilities in the community.
Superintendent Musa Camara, who is also the Officer Commanding the Human Rights Unit of the GPF, urged the people of Brufut to be good law-abiding citizens. According to Supt. Camara, the law has provided rights to every citizen but was quick to remind the gathering that each right goes with a corresponding responsibility; that one's rights ends where another person's rights starts. He said people playing music on loud volumes, playing football in the streets etc., are acceptable activities but if they come to disturbance, they should be stopped or allowed to do it in a manner that will not infringe on the rights of others.
Concluding, Supt. Camara challenged the people of Brufut to take ownership and be responsible for the peace and security in their communities, through Community Policing.
The ceremony which was chaired by the Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of Police Foday Conta, emphasized on the negative effects of criminal activities and the use of illicit drugs by the youth.
According to PRO Conta, criminal activities and the use of illicit drugs leads to the imprisonment of many of our youthful population as well as drives them to insanity. According to the police spokesperson, this becomes a big disadvantage to the nation because the lives of the cream and future of our nation would be at stake. ASP Conta advised the community to be very vigilant and be aware of happenings in their environment so as to quickly report crimes and criminal activities to the police; that this is the only way to combat crime. PRO Conta further reminded the people of Brufut and satellite villages, that they have an important role to play in the security and policing of their communities; that peace building and security should be the business of all since the police cannot do it all alone. Other speakers from the police included Cadet ASP Suwaibou Bittaye and Sub Inspector Binta Njie-Jatta, of the Public Relations Office also re-echoed similar sentiments.

Wedding Bells Ring Out on Pinterest.com
If you're involved in the wedding business in any way then I urge you now to hot foot it over to www.pinterest.com. So why is that you may ask? In the PInterest world, it's all about style, beauty, inventiveness and creativity expressed in millions of luscious outcomes. And fashion, food, interiors, gardens and weddings are particularly hot topics. I call it the glossy, lifestyle magazine of social media. Pinterest is definitely not the place where you are assaulted with fuzzy photos and candid shots of late night meandering.
Also, unsurprisingly, Pinterest is the social media channel with the biggest proportion of female users worldwide. Figures from 2012 show a massive 87% of users are female. And interesting, according to a report issued earlier last year, 29% of UK users are in the highest earning bracket. Of course, that figure may have changed over the year, but I suspect there is still a valuable group of high spenders to target on Pinterest in the UK.
So if you're a restaurant, hotel or venue that specialises in weddings it's time to get pinning! In a nutshell the website allows users to upload images or collect pictures from around the web and pin them to virtual notice boards within their Pinterest account. So for example, brides-to-be can collect together images that visually represent their perfect wedding look or their must-have suppliers. These images also appear in the Pinterest newsfeed and can be commented on, shared and repined by other users. An eye-catching image can end up being shared or commented on by hundreds of users.
For wedding suppliers, you have an opportunity to showcase beautiful lifestyle images of your wedding location, flowers or food across a series of themed boards.
If you are a business, you should also setup on Pinterest using their business account option. For more info on how to setup a business account check out this Pinterest blog post.
Ready to get pinning? Then here are my top 7 recommendations when marketing your business on Pinterest.
- When you first create a board make sure to associate it with the 'Wedding' category.
- Use keywords potential brides or wedding planners may use as search terms on Pinterest across your file names and image descriptions.
- For better visibility keep your keywords quite specific. General keywords will get lost in the fray. Have you got a niche? Then mention that in your description copy.
- Keep your text short and your copy lifestyle magazine in tone to avoid looking like a quick win spammer.
- You can also add a link to the image description once the image has been added, by using the Edit image function. Unfortunately you can't add a link when you first upload or save the image.
- Include boards and images that inspire you, so your pinned images are not all about the sell and spread the love by liking and re-pinning other great images to your business's creative inspiration boards.
- For copyright's sake, watermark your images so they are always retraceable to you.
As an added bonus, you'll be glad to hear that Pinterest content is searchable by Google (unlike Facebook), so your images also have the potential to show up in search results.
For more advice on using Pinterest for your business, why not book a Social Media Advisory session, and I'll be happy to advise you on strategies and tactics that will work specifically for you.

Who is Usain Bolt's girlfriend? Kasi Bennett stayed with Soccer Aid star despite Olympic romp with Brazilian Jady Duarte
Furious Kasi Bennett at the time compared Bolt's cheating to 'shopping at Primark'
USAIN BOLT made headlines for his behaviour both on and off the athletics track in his final Olympic Games in Rio.
In 2016 he once again won the Olympic 100 metres, 200 metres and 4x100 metres, but also made the news for the wrong reasons after a romp with Brazilian student Jady Duarte.
Only a couple of months earlier, Bolt had gone public with his relationship with Kasi Bennett,
In an interview which took place in July 2016, with The Telegraph, when asked about his love life the athlete admitted to having a girlfriend of two years.
He said: "But I'm not going to tell you who she is, I want to keep it small for now, because I know when it gets out there's going to be a lot of things to say, and I told her she can't handle it.
"Because I've been through the media. I understand how you guys are – especially the British media."
Despite this, Bolt shared a photo with his beloved to his Instagram before the Olympics, captioning it 'President and First Lady'.
Kasi, who lives in Jamaica, is 29 years old - four years younger than the Olympic sprinter - she stands at 5ft3 a whole foot smaller than her other half.
She is an avid social media user and fashionista, currently boasting 279k followers on Instagram.
Her following has rapidly increased since the news broke about Bolt's night of passion with Rio local Jady Duarte.
During the Olympic games, Kasi increasingly supported her other half over on Twitter, posting messages of support before the athlete took to the track.
So what does she think of Bolt's bedroom antics?
Kasi compared Bolt's behaviour to 'shopping at Primark' - the UK discount retailer.
She hit back by 'liking' a picture on Instagram that said: "When your girl is Selfridges, and you cheat on her with Primark."
She then liked a tweet directed at boyfriend Bolt which said: "You traded your life with a goddess for a one night fling with someone who will never even come close."
Jamaican superstar Bolt whisked Jady from Rio nightclub All In after swapping sexy messages using Google Translate.
However his antics didn't stop there, on return from Rio, Bolt landed in London and didn't hesitate to hit the town once again.
He was spotted partying and leaving the nightclub with a number of females, who said Bolt rapped on stage before whisking them back to his hotel after a night of champagne and shots.
Office worker Soumia Ghouini admitted her boyfriend was annoyed by the pair's antics.

Apple co founder Steve Wozniak to become an Australian
Sydney may be a long way from Silicon Valley but Steve Wozniak, the Apple co-founder, has said that he plans to become an Australian citizen and move to the country because he is impressed by plans for a national broadband network.
"I actually like this country and want to become a citizen," he told the Australian Financial Review.
Mr Wozniak cited the Australian Government's plans for a A$43 billion (£24.6 billion) national broadband network across the country as one of the reasons for his fondness for his new adopted home. The ambitious plan aims to connect all Australians to superfast internet by 2021.
"I am . . . on the way to become an Australian citizen, that's a little known fact," Mr Wozniak told the Brisbane radio station…

Unfortunately, there is often no alternative to paying TM's absurdly inflated 'convenience fees' when buying tickets for many types of events -- if you want to buy a ticket to see 'Wicked' here in Chicago this week, a $92.50 ticket will cost you $106.71, an upcharge of more than 15%.
They are an unregulated monopoly, but it looks like perhaps they are about to get some competition.
ScoreBig Inc., which has raised $8.5 million from investors including private-equity firm Bain Capital and media executive Shari Redstone, has been quietly testing a system that aspires to do for concert and sports tickets what Priceline.com does for airline seats and hotel rooms: Allow customers to buy them at cut-rate prices, while avoiding the whiff of desperation that typically accompanies discounts.Granted, it's only the left-over seats, but it's a step in the right direction. Anything that puts pressure on pricing, even in one area, should (I hope) have the effect of bringing down prices overall.
Unsold seats are a major problem for the music and sports industries alike. "We have 35% to 50% of total industry capacity that goes unsold each year," said ScoreBig Chief Executive Adam Kanner, "and fans that can't afford" the events.

Floating Letters Children's Blessing Plaque by Dorit Judaica
Floating Letters Children's Blessing Plaque by Dorit Judaica
Dorit Judaica has created this breathtakingly beautiful wall plaque of laser cut letters with a quotation from the intensely moving prayer silently uttered by Jewish mothers through the ages after they kindle the lights of Shabbat. The woman begins by requesting blessings for herself, her husband and fellow-Jews. She asks for G-d's Divine Presence to shine on her home and then – the words on the plaque – "Give me the merit to raise children and offspring who will be wise and understanding, loving and fearing G-d, holy people of integrity, who will illuminate the world with their Torah, good deeds and Divine service".
When a woman lights the candles of Shabbat and prays for the welfare of her husband, children and dear ones, she is not only illuminating her home and also the lives of her family and dear ones. Shabbat is a STOP sign that provides an oasis of peace and harmony in our pressure-ridden lives. How blessed is the Jewish woman that she carries the great privilege of ushering in the holy Shabbat day.
Size: 30 X 19 cm / 11.8 X 7.4 in.

Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law is a unique process that is sometimes referred to as 'no court divorce' as avoiding court proceedings is the fundamental aim of the Collaborative Law process. It recognises that the breakdown of a relationship is one of the most difficult and painful times in a person's life and that communicating to resolve issues is often a far more beneficial approach for both individuals than fighting through the court process. Collaborative Law is generally a faster and more family-focused approach than the traditional approach. The collaborative process ensures that the divorce or separation is dealt with in a dignified and respectful manner for the benefit of the entire family, and is particularly beneficial where there are children of the family.
Collaborative law involves a series of roundtable meetings with the couple and their respective collaborative lawyers, allowing honest and open negotiations and avoiding heated solicitor correspondence and the threat of court proceedings. The meetings are tailored to the specific circumstances of the family and the process is extremely flexible so as to enable the best resolution for the entire family, including any children of the family. At the same time, you will have your lawyer on hand to advise you throughout and to protect your interests, whilst negotiating a fair and reasonable settlement of the issues within the meetings.
How does the Collaborative Law process work?
- There is a commitment at the outset to work together to resolve issues and not to commence or threaten court proceedings.
- Information is shared openly and honestly in a series of meetings with the couple and their respective collaborative lawyers.
- There are negotiations aimed at reaching a fair and reasonable agreement for the family as a whole.
- The couple set the agendas for the meetings meaning that they are in control of the process as opposed to the lawyers.
- Whilst the success rates are high, should the process break down the couple will have to instruct new lawyers to commence litigation.
Due to the flexibility of the Collaborative Law process, tailored and creative solutions can be achieved that will benefit the family as a whole. As all meetings are conducted in a dignified and managed way couples are much more likely to be on better terms at the conclusion of the process than if they had chosen the traditional route.
It is however fair to say that the collaborative approach is not right for every couple as both must have a genuine desire to resolve matters, as well as being able to listen to and respect the views of the other.

UPDATE: A six-week performance test was recently completed on the MEADS' MFCR where it successfully demonstrated several capabilities including tracking and cancelling jamming signals, searching, cueing, and tracking in ground clutter, and classifying target data using kinematic information. The testing occurred at Pratica di Mare Air Base near Rome, Italy, and at MBDA Germany's air defense center in Freinhausen—marking the first time the MFCR has been operated in Germany.
PREVIOUSLY: To provide system capabilities not met by current air and missile defense systems, the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) is being developed to meet International Common Operational Requirements. To enable coverage with no blind spots, this next-generation system incorporates netted and distributed battle management, easily transportable launchers, a PAC-3 missile, and 360-deg. radar capability. As part of a recent demonstration, the MEADS Multifunction Fire Control Radar (MFCR) acquired and tracked a live tactical ballistic missile (TBM) for the first time. The system also was tested for its ability to intercept and destroy two simultaneous targets attacking from opposite directions.
Both presentations were completed at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico. The first demonstration showcased the radar positively detecting the missile shortly after launch. It maintained dedicated track mode until shortly before ground impact. The MEADS MFCR is a 360-deg., X-band, solid-state, active electronically steered array (AESA) radar. It can provide tracking capabilities against highly maneuverable, low-signature threats including short- and medium-range ballistic and cruise missiles and other air-breathing threats.
The second test put all MEADS system elements to work including the surveillance radar, a networked MEADS battle manager, two lightweight launchers firing the missiles, and the MFCR. A QF-4 air-breathing target approached from the south as a Lance missile attacked from the north. The surveillance radar successfully acquired both targets and provided cues to the MEADS battle manager, which generated cue commands for the MFCR. The MFCR then tracked both targets and guided missiles from launchers in the Italian and German configurations to intercept them.
To provide enhanced operational flexibility, MEADS' netted-distributed architecture utilizes distributed sensors, launches, and tactical operations centers (TOCs). Its "plug-and-fight" capability enables all of the sensors, shooters, and other TOCs to act as nodes within the MEADS network. From there, a commander can dynamically add or subtract elements without shutting the entire system down. That flexibility—in conjunction with the radar's 360-deg. Tracking—reportedly allows MEADS to defend up to eight times the coverage area with far fewer system assets compared to previous approaches.

|Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities analysis
based on CBO estimates.
Of course, anyone with even a loose grasp of facts knows why this is bullshit. But, apparently, some people still need help with the facts. So, occasionally, I set people straight. It's especially fun to set wingnuts straight, although it gets old when you point out how wrong they are, and they just disappear, only to come back some other day with more bullshit that shows that they just ignored the actual facts.
Today, I see that Bloomberg has a poll that illustrates this break with reality that Tea Party Republicans have suffered, and continue to suffer, because they believe the BS from the people they elected. They allow the impression being made by the bullshitters to take root in their walled off minds, and they pick and choose the information they need to feed that impression until it festers into a boil that sorely needs to be lanced. If only they weren't so afraid of needles.
Two-thirds of regular Republicans believe the federal budget deficit has grown this year and 93 percent of Tea Party Republicans agree. Both are wrong; the budget deficit is projected to fall this year from $1.1 trillion to $642 billion.That's just this year. Go back a ways, and their delusion gets even stronger. For example, tell them Obama has cut the deficit in half since he took office from GW Bush, and they often become apoplectic, if they don't just leave and avoid the subject. They'll wail about how Obama sent the deficit soaring to such heights that even he could keep it up.
So, the real kicker is when you show them what the money is for. Like any good bullshitter, they'll say I'm a weak, pathetic libtard for blaming Bush. When the truth is, for centuries in this country, those described as weak and pathetic were the ones who knowingly chose to believe fantasy over reality. I'm looking at you, Confederate States of America.
The chart at the top of this post lists the sources of the current deficits that are adding to our debt. It is a stark reminder of the fact that any Republican who claims they are the party of limited government is bullshitting you and will probably ask for a campaign contribution right after doing so. The entire GOP has become a country club of con artists, and their base is the mark.
|Source: ZFacts
One last fact to keep in mind on this last graph: When calculating debt as a percent of GDP, it's important to remember that GW Bush's final GDP, in 4Q2008, was negative 9%. When GDP spikes down like that, and emergency spending goes up (job losses were at 800,000 per month when Obama took office and in the three months before the stimulus passed, the economy cut loose 2.2m workers), the debt as a percent of GDP will, of course, go up. To blame that on Obama is the ultimate in bullshit.
|"Private fixed investment as a percentage of potential GDP.
When it gets back to historical norms, the free lunch
on infrastructure investment will be over."

Charity organizer accused of hoax
Not even the investigating officer knows just how deep the rabbit hole goes in the case of a charity event gone awry.
Karen Gillespie, 44, got local businesses, law enforcement and even an air ambulance together at Burlington Square Mall on June 28 for an event billed as Community Awareness Day.
The problem is that the North Star Foundation, the group Gillespie was supposedly representing, doesn't exist as a nonprofit in North Carolina, at least according to the Internal Revenue Service's Web site. Gillespie, who lives in Whitsett, has been charged with writing worthless checks and obtaining property under false pretenses.
Police say she conned at least 100 people into giving her money or donating their services.
"She claimed that it is a foundation and it is legit, but she never could provide any information about it," Officer Tanya Taylor said. She and other Burlington police officers worked the event by escorting a parade down International Street and setting up a booth.
"We were excited about the cause and helping out with the foundation until we found out it was a hoax," Taylor added.
Although Gillespie seemed legitimate, authorities said she didn't keep her story straight. She reportedly told some people her charity fought child abuse and others that it was to combat children's cancer.

text: Relationships Violence and Abuse Print Super Sunday Violence By Buddy T Updated March 31, 2019 Getty Images More in Relationships Violence and Abuse Spouses & Partners LGBTQ Recently, Verywell.com's Urban Legend Expert David Emery, who does an excellent job of tracking the latest myths and hoaxes perpetrated on the Internet and beyond, promoted an article on Super Bowl Sunday Folklore in which he referred to the fact that more women are abused on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day as one of those "larger-than-life 'urban beliefs' in the U.S." Emery's article pointed to Cecil "The Straight Dope" Adams' column that supposedly "debunked" the claim that domestic violence increases on Super Bowl Sunday, a story that has been making the rounds since the Super Bowl of 1993. How did all of this controversy begin and what is the truth of the matter? Does domestic violence increase during America's unofficial national football holiday, or not? The story began in 1993 when Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR) convinced the NBC Television network to run a public service announcement prior to the start of the Super Bowl broadcast. The announcement warned: "Domestic violence is a crime." Debunking the Debunkers Shortly after the game ended a bevy of reporters, from Ken Ringle of the Washington Post to Rush Limbaugh, attempted to "debunk" FAIR's effort to call attention to a crisis that, according to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, claims thousands of women's lives per year. The debunkers charged that FAIR had claimed that "national studies" supported their assertions, that FAIR made "predictions" of Super Bowl Sunday violence using false statistics, and that FAIR had "acknowledged" that its evidence was largely "anecdotal." But FAIR denied any accusations that it distorted the facts and figures. In an article by Laura Flanders headlined "Super Bowl Success Sparks Good Ol' Boys' Backlash," FAIR said when negotiating with NBC to run the PSA they referred to no national studies or statistics on the subject and made no predictions. In fact, FAIR told NBC that studies on domestic violence are gravely underfunded and understudied. " 'Anecdotal' was the word used in countless interviews by FAIR; stories from women on the front lines were something that made the campaign stronger, not something anyone was forced to 'acknowledge,' " wrote Flanders. What is the bottom line on this issue? Flanders' article spelled it out: "Workers at women's shelters and some journalists have long reported that Super Bowl Sunday is one of the year's worst days for violence against women in the home. FAIR hoped that the broadcast of an anti-violence PSA on Super Sunday, in front of the biggest TV audience of the year, would sound a wake-up call for the media, and it did." That PSA saved lives, Flanders said. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback! Learn the best ways to manage stress and negativity in your life. Sign Up You're in!

Eleven 20sec exposures were needed to capture tonight's pass of the International Space Station, from when it first appeared just above the horizon until it faded into the shadow of the earth.
I'd already fired off a few test shots before the spacecraft appeared, checking for focus (because it's pretty much pitch black this has to be done manually, but the focus-peaking system on the Sony helps with that) and that no shadows or highlights were clipped. When you're in the dark, and relying on checking an the shot on screen, what looks pretty evenly exposed can be a fair bit off if your eyes have adjusted for the lack of light. Using the histogram and any clipping warnings is a better bet. Glad I did that too, as I'd forgot to switch back to RAW capture after shooting some lower resolution JPGs for a task earlier in the day; less wriggle room for pulling out the shadows or holding in the highlights with those.
As the station flew over I used a remote control to fire each shot, trying to leave as little a gap as possible. But, when something's travelling over at 17500mph, there's going to be gaps.
To fix that, I set all the images to edit from Lightroom, opening them all as Layers in Photoshop. Masking off each layer then using a brush not much wider than the light trail, the track of the ISS can be brought back into view across the whole scene, albeit with the gaps from between frames.
Using Photoshop's Content-Aware Move tool I selected a small section of the trail, near each gap, and slid this over each missing section. PS does a good job of matching the direction of line as well as the colour and luminosity of the pixels, much better than would appear if, for example, you used just the Clone Stamp tool.
Layers are then all flattened to create a composite image, recording the near 3 minute pass in one single frame.

Moonlight Buttress
The past two days I climbed a route in Zion called "Moonlight Buttress" with Andrew Fitzgerald, a ranger at Zion National Park. This route is considered one of the classic climbs in Zion. We started early the first morning having to cross the Virgin River during spring runoff. It was cold and tricky to get across thus we had the whole route to ourselves during the climb. It was slow going as we brought a "haul bag" with extra water, food and sleeping gear. The climb is almost 1400 vertical feet. We had good weather except for some gusty winds during the night which made sleeping difficult. The upper pitches of the route were stunning. Mostly a finger wide splitter crack extending to the top of the cliff. This was a very steep line with few ledges. We finished a bit early in the middle of the afternoon on the second day. The hike down the Angels Landing Trail was surprisingly difficult considering it was all down hill, but all the gear was rather heavy and our muscles fatigued. This climb was another one of my great adventures in Zion. I have done many in this park and hope to do many others. As I looked across the valley towards the Great White Throne I realized I had not stood on top of the great monolith. In fact, I personally don't know anybody who has done so. Maybe some day I'll do that one!

PhD3; Mann, Mark E. BS4; McBride, Michael BA4Menopause: June 2012 - Volume 19 - Issue 6 - p 610–615 doi: 10.1097/gme.0b013e31823a3e5d Original Articles Buy Abstract In Brief Author InformationAuthors Article MetricsMetrics Objective The results of the Women's Health Initiative led to a sharp decline in postmenopausal hormone therapy use. Subsequently, treatment guidelines were revised to recommend hormone therapy at the lowest effective dose for the shortest possible duration. The objective of this analysis was to assess trends in nationwide hormone therapy prescription claims from 2002 to 2009. Methods This study was a retrospective database analyses of pharmacy claims from MedImpact Healthcare Systems Inc. Data from women with claims for oral or transdermal hormone therapy were analyzed to assess trends in hormone therapy claims, including route of administration, dose, and physician specialty. Results By the end of 2002, the total number of hormone therapy claims dropped approximately 30% from 2002 second quarter claims. This trend continued during the next 7 years, and by 2009, hormone therapy claims were reduced by more than 70%. The proportion of low--dose oral claims rose fourfold, whereas the proportion of standard/high-dose claims decreased 30%. The proportion of claims for transdermal formulations more than doubled, and the proportion of claims for low-dose transdermal hormone therapy increased 10-fold. Although reductions in overall claims, routes of administration, and dose categories were similar between physician specialties, obstetrician/gynecologists prescribed transdermal hormone therapy nearly twice as often as all other types of providers. Conclusions Since the publication of the Women's Health Initiative results, there has been a sustained decrease in hormone therapy claims. The proportional use of low-dose oral and transdermal formulations has increased, but as of 2009, claims for these formulations accounted for approximately one in four total hormone therapy claims. Between 2002 and 2009, 70% fewer hormone therapy prescription claims were received by a large pharmacy benefits management organization. Lower dosage and transdermal hormone therapy options have taken a larger share of prescribed hormone therapy.

I believe you need to end up with zero net horizontal force at the attachment point on the tower of each set of guys (i.e., guy tension X sine of angle between guy and vertical is equal), not equal static tension. If you have something other than 120 degree spacing it gets a bit more complicated, but you still want to have zero net horizontal force component on the tower. Bob, N7XY

A guide to clipping your horse
Before you fire up the clippers, think carefully about how much hair you need to remove. Take your horse's workload, lifestyle and age into consideration – can you keep him well-rugged and warm enough if you clip out his body completely, or would a partial trim where he sweats most frequently be sufficient? The horses I work with need short coats, but a leisure horse won't have to be so closely clipped, and most don't need their head clipped right out.
An underside trim, ideal for the horse in light work who is turned out.
This popular clip is not too involved: mistakes aren't obvious and it still leaves your horse with plenty of coat all over. It's also called the 'sweat clip' as it takes off hair only where the horse sweats most. You can also remove hair over the tops of his front legs.
How to clip a belly and gullet clip
1. Chalk your guidelines. For the belly, take a line from his elbows, horizontally back to his stifles.
2. Clip as for a bib clip, or an apron clip if you're taking off the hair over his forelegs, too.
3. Move to the belly: if he's wary, stroke along it with your hand in long, firm strokes first.
4. Don't be too light with your clippers as it tickles him more.
Clipping over and inside the elbow
1. Have a helper pull the foreleg forwards to make the area you're clipping flatter and firmer. Pull any loose skin taut so you don't nick it.
2. Follow the muscle that runs diagonally along the top of the foreleg to get a neat angle.
Remember, a horse's winter coat provides protection from the elements, so if you clip any hair, rug up accordingly to keep him warm – especially if he's spending time in the field. Remember, too, that he'll be pretty fresh to ride on a frosty morning if you remove all his winter woollies.
Suitable for the horse in light or medium work. A higher trace can include the whole or part of the head.
Named after the traces of a carriage, this clip follows straight horizontal lines along the horse's body and demands accuracy. Trace clips can be low, medium or high. A high trace clip also takes off hair from the horse's head. High trace clips give the illusion of making the legs appear longer on a short-legged horse.
How to clip a trace or chaser clip
1. For a low trace clip, take a line around 7in below where your saddle flap lies; for medium, use the bottom of the saddle flap as a guide; for high, take a line about 5in above the bottom of the saddle flap.
2. Make your guidelines clear, straight and symmetrical on each side, especially over the backs of the hindquarters.
3. To neaten up a horizontal line, turn the clippers side-on so the blades cut neatly across the jagged edge.
4. For a chaser clip, take a line from behind the horse's shoulder up to behind his ears. Take off more neck hair and all the head hair.
Suitable for the horse in light or medium work. A higher trace can include the whole or part of the head. For hunting or athletic activities, the legs and saddle area are left on for protection. For a full clip these can be removed completely.
The hunter is a variation of the full clip, but with leg and saddle patch hair. It's good for horses who work hard but are likely to pick up thorns, knocks and cuts. Leaving the hair over the saddle patch helps keep sweat away from the skin.
For a full clip, the whole coat is taken off. It can be used as a first clip and swapped for a different one later in the year. Great care must be taken to keep horses with a full clip warm, especially at night.
How to clip a hunter/full clip
1. For a hunter clip, mark neat diagonal guidelines on the tops of his front and hind legs. Place his saddle on and draw an outline around it, with a 2in margin all around. Clip all other hair apart from the legs and saddle patch.
2. For a full clip, take off all hair.
3. When clipping the inside of the hind legs, move the tail out of the way and clip from the opposite side.
4. Leave a neat 'v' of unclipped hair above the root of your horse's tail. Take a point about 6in from each side of his tail and take a line up to his spine.
The blanket clip offers warmth over the back but allows efficient cooling during and after harder exercise.
A 'blanket' of hair is left over the horse from wither to tail and on his legs. It's good for horses in medium to hard work but still leaves leg and hindquarter hair, which is good for warmth and protection. You'll need warm rugs and neck covers if you use this clip and want to turn your horse out in winter. Blanket clips give the impression of your horse's back being shorter, so can flatter a long-backed horse.
How to clip a blanket clip
1. Be guided by your saddle: the front edge of your blanket should sit just in front of the saddle, and the bottom edge in line with your saddle flaps (you can come a little higher if you like).
2. Take off the hair from neck, chest, head, belly, and the tops of his hind legs, taking care to go over straight lines with the edge of your clippers: this clip needs to be neat.
3. You'll take off all the neck hair: brush the mane over to the wrong side and then clip up to a centimetre below the roots of his mane. Repeat on the other side. Don't come up too high or you'll clip into his mane, which will result in messy regrowth.

It's technically Saturday, but I'm counting this as Friday's post because I haven't gone to bed yet.
Betsy, Leah, the brother, and I did pizza and games this evening.
Have you played Whoonu? People choose cards, and then you have to rank the cards by how much you like what's listed on them, and people get points based on how highly you rank their cards.
But these kiddos obviously know me too well because they gave me chocolate cake, surprise parties, celebrity gossip, reality TV, and weddings in the same round. How do I rank those?
Another round I had to rank road trips, pepperonis, bicycling, convertibles, the internet, and air-conditioning. HELLO!? I love all of those things.

Business Owners: Why Should You Implement Sales Projects?
You are busy enough already. Now, here comes this Mike Goss character, telling you that you should implement yet another sales tool.
The reason: the structure to grow your business to the next level.
You need greater sales.
You already work hard all day.
Imagine what will happen when you apply more structure to your activities.
- You are more productive each day.

Sales project management is the next wave in selling. It doesn't magically show up in your daily activities. You have to build the structure that will put more money in your pocket. It will be worth every minute of your time.
Don't Look Back - Look Ahead to Greater Sales
Do you spend time looking in the rear-view mirror , instead of looking ahead? Here's the cure.
The more time you spend looking back, the less time you have to look forward and close more sales.
You look back because of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, the FUD Factor.
You can eliminate uncertainty by applying structure to your selling time.
Sales Project Management gives you the structure you need to always be looking ahead.
What Kind of Goal is "Do Your Best?"
If you do your best to close sales throughout the year, how will you know if it's enough? When your instructions are, "Try hard, and do your best," what does that mean.
In a construction project, a Project Charter states the purpose of the project, the due date, the funding amount, and the accountable person: the project manager. Why wouldn't you apply this tool to your sales project?
Your Sales Project Charter contains three points:
- Deliverable: your sales goal.
- Due Date: the end of your sales year.
- Accountable Person: guess who? It's you.

WASHINGTON, May 28, 2009--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) will hold additional listening sessions on the National Animal Identification System (NAIS). The meetings will take place next month in, California, Florida, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina and South Dakota.
"We would like to hear from a wide variety of stakeholder audiences, so we are bringing the listening tour to six additional cities," said Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack. "This offers additional opportunities for the public, and in particular limited-resource farmers, to voice their concerns about the current NAIS system and offer potential solutions."
APHIS seeks to gather not only producer comments and concerns, but also potential solutions to create a program producers can feel comfortable supporting. The sessions will include information about the current program, as well as an opportunity to give public testimony or ask a program-related question. Discussion sessions relating to the following areas of concern will allow producers to provide their input on ways to make the program into something they can support: cost, impact on small farmers, privacy and confidentiality, liability, premises registration, animal identification and animal tracing.
The public meetings will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. local time, with registration one hour prior to each meeting. The meetings will be held in the following locations:
Tuesday, June 9: Jefferson City, Mo.
Thursday, June 11: Rapid City, S.D.
Tuesday, June 16: Albuquerque, N.M.
Thursday, June 18: Riverside, Calif.
Thursday, June 25: Raleigh, N.C.
Saturday, June 27: Jasper, Fla.
Additional information on the meetings can be found at : www.usda.gov/nais/feedback.
In 2004, APHIS began implementing NAIS, an animal traceability system that would enable producers and animal health officials to respond quickly and effectively to animal disease events in the United States.
This notice was published in the May 22 Federal Register.
Note to Reporters: USDA news releases, program announcements and media advisories are available on the Internet. Go to the APHIS news release page at /newsroom. Also, anyone with an e-mail address can sign up to receive APHIS press releases automatically. Send an e-mail message to firstname.lastname@example.com and leave the subject blank.

I sent out a request on Twitter asking to see Dark Shadows fan "shrines" and got some pretty fast responses. First up is Frank, who is a big fan of Dark Shadows and Planet of the Apes. As you might imagine, he's not all that fond of Tim Burton.
Anyhoo, here are photos of his Dark Shadows collection. I think the signed photo of Chris Pennock will qualify him for entry into Valhalla.
If you want to show off your Dark Shadows shrine, hit me up at my Facebook page, Twitter feed or leave a comment anywhere on this site.

New York—As recent retail earnings reports show, consumers are being quite discerning about spending their dollars. Loyalty and rewards programs are a proven way for retailers to spur interest in shopping.
In a new survey of affluent consumers released this week by the Luxury Institute, wealthy shoppers earning at least $150,000 a year share are just as enthusiastic about loyalty and rewards programs as their mass market counterparts.
Affluent Women Like Rewards' Free Gifts
Overall, 72% of wealthy consumers participate in some kind of loyalty program, with the most popular ones connected to credit cards, airlines, hotels and grocery stores. Men are significantly more likely to be members of airline and hotel rewards programs, while women are disproportionately represented in programs sponsored by grocery stores, drugstores and department stores. Previous Luxury Institute research has shown that Sephora, American Express and Amazon are the top three favorite rewards programs among affluent consumers.
"Loyalty Programs combined seamlessly with one-to-one customer relationship building can be highly effective in driving conversion and retention while making data collection easier," said Luxury Institute CEO Milton Pedraza.
Very few respondents say that they belong to a luxury brand rewards program. The main perceived benefits of luxury brands' loyalty programs are special offers and rewards, earning and redeeming points, and free goods and services. Free gifts carry more importance among women, shoppers under 50, and those with net worth less than $1 million.
Satisfaction with existing loyalty programs is high and most high-income shoppers say that they have had positive experiences with their memberships. The vast majority of shoppers report that loyalty programs exert a strong influence over purchasing decisions. www.LuxuryInstitute.com.

The New Health Care needed a new way to communicate.
Steward had a huge idea: changing the way health care is delivered in America.
And they were showing big results – growing at a meteoric pace and garnering national press attention to their every move. But at the heart of it, health care is a deeply personal, high-touch business: we needed to portray the authentic face of both Steward's success and the customers they care for.
So we built our campaign on a simple concept: every person at Steward is a committed steward of The New Health Care. And while most advertisers continued to portray people 65+ (the largest segment of Steward's patients) with outdated generalizations and clichés, we showed them differently—as they really are. Add all this up, and we had a fresh way to announce a new kind of health care.
Finally, we launched in an unexpected place for hospital advertising: the Olympics—immediately putting the brand in a high-quality, blue-chip environment and associating the people of Steward with the heroic, uplifting personal drama of the athletes.
RESULTS: Established as a brand in 2011, in just four years Steward earned a 37% awareness. In 2016 this success led in part to a $1.2 billion recapitalization, setting the stage for national growth.
