KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Australia's acting prime minister says nothing of significance has been spotted so far by search planes flying deep into the southern Indian Ocean looking for possible debris from the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.
Warren Truss, who is acting prime minister while Tony Abbott is in Papua New Guinea, told reporters that "nothing of particular significance" had been identified in Friday's search.
Five planes were sent to look for objects that may be from the missing Malaysian jet, and an Australian official said the hunt would be extended for another day.
The search is part of an international effort to solve the nearly 2-week-old mystery of what happened to the jet, which disappeared with 239 people aboard.

Sako7 - Mondrain V4
Mondrian comes from the AVANT-GARDE art movement which is experimental, radical, or unorthodox, with respect to art, culture, and society. It may be characterized by non-traditional, aesthetic innovation and initial unacceptability, and it may offer a critique of the relationship between producer and consumer – this is Avant-Garde, this is Mondrian.
Since the establishment of SaKO7 in 2014 our socks have been made from specific materials that offer a cool and comfortable fit. Being the 'best in socks', we continue to make tweaks as we go along to keep it that way. Today we present a sock, that by simply incorporating a specific yarn, offers a little more give while being more snug and soft. There is no question that the Socks Maketh the Kit.
- SaKO firmly believes that socks should have a leg + welt height of no less than 4", so with that in mind our socks are made with a leg + welt height of closer to 7"
- SaKO7's signature no slip 6'' cuff enables that perfect fit and form fitting perfection while the breathable upper mesh helps your feet feel cool..er.
- We offer 4 size curves because when it comes to socks we believe in the optimal fit… and of course because nobody does socks like we do !

07 Feb Can I get married again?
Ok, don't be confused about the title, because I'm happily married to the love of my life, Simon Vogt! As some of you may know, he's the man behind most of these beautiful pictures. Time seems to have flown by—Oct 2017 is our five-year anniversary!
Ok, so what I'm about to share is going to make me sound a little crazy and obsessive. My husband and I had not one, but THREE weddings—the first at SF city hall, then off to the Bahamas for my dream beach wedding, then back home for a big wedding with all our family and friends. I loved every minute of it, but maybe the real reason behind the craziness of three different occasions was that I just wanted to wear three different wedding dresses. Seriously, this passion is why I'm so excited to share some photos with you today… I got to try out some of the latest styles from Maggie Sottero, and I kinda want to do the whole wedding dress thing all over again. OMG, my husband is going to kill me. Oh, hang on, what about renewing our vows? YES!
Finding the perfect wedding gown.
This is such a dilemma when Maggie Sottero has so many beautiful gowns to choose from. So when you're shopping for that special wedding dress, it helps to sit down and think what you want to feel like on your special day. For me, elegant but wow-so-beautiful lace with intricate detail is a must. Another thing that I want is to look slender and tall, which is why the Nola gown was a perfect fit. When I first tried on this gown, I was like, "YES!" This soft fit-and-flare makes me look so slender and lengthy, and yet it still shows all the right curves. And seriously, the lace detail just leaves me in awe.
Thank you to Maggie Sottero for sponsoring this post.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'PTC - PRS Tech Center' started by claythomas, Jul 9, 2018.
Hey guys, any idea of the pricing for a grind and polish/crown and polish/fret job?
A fret dress at a local luthier cost me $125. A fret level and dress at the PTC cost me $225. The PTC was a better deal.
When you compare the coast of a level/crown/polish to a refret, the refret is generally the better value.
mixing terms up here, a full fret dress includes leveling, crowning and polishing (and any end work you require)
And Drew that's not true everywhere, where I live a dress with a setup is 150 dollars, a good quality refret is between 350 and 500 dollars. It's regular responsible maintenance for a good guitar to have the frets dressed before they get to the point that requires refretting.

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
-- Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865)
Most economists but not all politicians admit that we are in the midst of a recession, at the very least. Some call it the Great Recession and some call it a mini-Depression. According to Bernanke and Geithner we are on the mend and while somewhere between 10% and 25% are unemployed (if you calculate the various categories of Not Working), the government's standard line is that we are on track to recovery. Maybe later this year, maybe next year at the latest. Of course, if you are a Federal or State Civil Service employee, you are more likely to be unaffected by economic events around you. Federal and State governments have so far been loath to fire or lay-off civil service workers. But, that too could change if things get bad enough. To wit, California.
Then there's Lloyd Blankfein and the Goldman Sachs "Bank," formerly known as an "Investment Bank." The latter gets no government bailout money; the former can take whatever it can get. And, it certainly did.
Obama's big mistake was in not sweeping out the Goldman Sachs employees (current and former) so as to emulate FDR's clean sweep of the crooks. Instead we have Geithner and Bernanke in the shadows of the biggest con man, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, who saved Goldman but killed Lehman and Bear Sterns. Of course, as a former CEO, he knew where the stock warrants were buried. While all of us were getting the picture on Main Street, Washington was still under Blankfein's control. At least when Joe Kennedy was picked to run the S.E.C., he was known to be a crook who would catch the others.
What was on the horizon last year was the possibility of a double-dip or, even more ominous, a VW. The first refers to a second downdraft and the second refers to yet another uptick after the double-dip, followed by still another drop in economic activity.
Somewhere along these lines comes the possibility of Depression.
There were numerous drops in the Dow back in Depression number one and the last, which occurred in 1933, was the killer. At that point, the Dow had lost 90% of its value.
Recently, in addition to the bad news about Dubai's default on its Sovereign debt, there is speculation about a default in Greece. The Greek economy is now saddled with debt totaling 133% of GDP. Souvlaki can't solve that alone. And, Germany is entering double-dip territory. Recently, there have also been figures in the U.S. that belie a cause for concern that we may also suffer that fate. We now may be heading down again.
The fact that China is now tightening its belt while our own banks take more of the remaining credit off of the table, does not bode well for small businesses or their shrinking employment roster.
If we are entering a double-dip recession (which to some appears to be a Depression), some trends will accelerate.
In Manhattan, restaurants, clothing stores and real estate agencies continue to tout their special sales while beginning to close up shop.
Several condo developments have been abandoned in favor of hotel projects but the sluggish sales at locations like Trump SoHo, 350 West Broadway, and 311 West Broadway – are a signal that brokers still manipulate the truth. There is money around but the number of sales is off significantly and the discounts are deep.
In the Hamptons, as the new government takes shape under Anna Throne-Holst in Southampton, the Town is still struggling with anemic property tax receipts and evaporating transfer taxes. Available funds are becoming harder to come by.
The investigation into what happened to the missing $13 million in Town coffers is shifting from Linda Kabot to former Supervisor Skip Heaney – according to a lengthy document she forwarded to the investigating team. For the first time, Heaney criticized the Southampton Press for its coverage in this regard – a highly unusual complaint given its heavily pro-Heaney and pro-Republican history. With a Republican Party that is fractured and a Democratic Party that has never had a strong grip on reality, both the Independent Party (led by Al Gregor) and the Conservative Party (Frank McKay) have become more important.
Wherever that $13M investigation leads, the Town now needs the money. Loss of numerous Town jobs and a further contraction in available cash is now more of a possibility.
Restaurants have closed, real estate agencies have gone out of business and more and more shops are for rent.
Sales of properties beyond the upper limit of $750,000 are scarce and prices are still dropping.
Look for Bridget Fleming to fill the vacancy created by Throne-Holst who was elected Southampton Town Supervisor – and keep an eye on Regina Calcaterra for State Senator, who is challenging Ken LaValle. She is strong on gay rights and has the bona fides to pull off an upset over the incumbent.
Times really are a'changin.

text: De facto president Micheletti said the US would offer millions in aid to Honduras if he stepped down [AFP] An army spokesman told local radio that Vasquez had called on military lawyers to take on the case. Zelaya, who has been holed up in the Brazilian embassy since returning to Honduras in September, immediately dismissed the charges as superficial and accused the de facto government of using new tricks. "Today, using a new stratagem, the attorney-general who has equal or more responsibility as the soldiers, is presenting accusations ... to achieve impunity for the soldiers by accusing them of minor crimes," Zelaya said in a statement. The Honduran congress is set to to debate an amnesty for those involved in the coup, which could be approved next week. Micheletti's statement Roberto Micheletti, the country's de facto leader, said on Wednesday he would step down on January 27, when conservative Porfirio Lobo, who who won controversial November presidential elections, is due to take office. Micheletti also said, in a television interview cited by the Honduran national media, that the US had offered "millions of dollars in aid" to the country if he would step down. The US along with the European Union and international organisations, froze millions of dollars of much-needed aid to Honduras after the coup. Many critics of the Micheletti's military-backed government, particularly in Latin America, said November's poll were an endorsement to the coup in a region with a painful history of dictatorships. They have sought for Zelaya to return to office to finish his term as a possible solution to the crisis. SOURCE: Agencies

So, if you think that your body muscles are not as toned as you would like, do not call the plastic surgeon, but follow, for six weeks, the program that we propose today.
I suggest two exercises, the first consists in a series of pushups, to begin make it just half way until your body gets used to the effort, once that happens, go to full pushups in series of 12-15 a day. The pushups have to be slow and controlled and do not forget to breath deep.
If you do not think you are fit enough at first, you can make wall pushups until you get used to it. Keep you hands apart, and push against the wall at a 45 degree angle. Soon you will be able to do floor pushups.
As a second exercise, take the two dumbbells that you used for the arms workout. Lie down on your back and lift the dumbbells up and down bending your elbows. Their weight is established by you, or by your "courage" and determination, but they do not have to go over nine pounds if you are out of shape.
Like for the first body workout exercise, I recommend you do 12-15 repetitions a day. Your body will get a fabulous workout.
These exercises can be made even if you already have a beautiful and toned torso. Nothing lasts forever and we all know that it is easier to prevent than to treat.
You should also check out this article: Pushups are great breast exercises for women.

Nodes representation
(U)AST in Babelfish is stored in a generic schema-less representation similar to JSON, but that preserve all the primitive value types that AST can express.
Babelfish's parsers will provide an AST in this form, which allow to process them with the same transformation pipeline.
For the specific list of UAST types, see Semantic UAST.
The representation defines four high-level node kinds:
Null nodes are used to represent an existing property with an unspecified value.
Objects and Arrays are composite node kinds, in the sense that they can refer to other nodes in the UAST.
Values, on the other hand, are always leaf nodes.
This type system might remind the type system used in JSON and it is in fact a more strict subset of it.
Object nodes are defined as an unordered set of key-value pairs. This kind is used for nearly all UAST node types defined by the Semantic UAST.
Keys can only be strings, similar to JSON encoding.
There can be only one key-value pair for a given key. Nodes that have multiple children of the same type should store them in a single key-value pair that refers to an Array node.
There is only one special key defined by this spec:
@type- a type of the node. Used to enforce a specific UAST schema.
In general, all fields starting with
@ should be considered internal,
if not stated otherwise.
Arrays are ordered lists of other nodes. Similar to JSON arrays, they can contain nodes with different types and even kinds.
Values are leaf nodes and can have one of the following type:
String - UTF8 string value.
Int - 64 bit integer.
Uint - 64 bit unsigned integer.
Float - 64 bit floating point value.
Bool - boolean value.
The type system remind JSON, except the fact that the kind of a number is preserved.

There is a LOT of bad stuff that happens in Ether 13-15, and most of it is not very fun to read about. The prophet Ether Coriantumr, a Jaredite king, that his people would be destroyed because of wickedness, and he admonished Coriantumr and his household to repent. When Coriantumr and the people refused to repent, war and wickedness escalated for many years until the entire Jaredite nation was destroyed. Only Ether and Coriantumr survived to witness the fulfillment of Ether's prophecy.
The prophet Ether's record of the Jaredite civilization serves as a witness that those who reject the Lord and His prophets will not prosper. These chapters are also a fulfillment of God's decree that "whatsoever nation shall possess [the land of promise] shall serve God, or they shall be swept off" (Ether 2:9).
What I would like to focus on in these chapters though IS fun to read about–NEW JERUSALEM (Ether 13:1-12). I love to learn and teach about New Jerusalem! The Guide to the Scriptures, one of the study helps of the LDS scriptures, teaches the following about New Jerusalem:
The place where the Saints will gather and Christ will personally reign with them during the Millennium. Zion (the New Jerusalem) will be built upon the American continent, and the earth will be renewed and receive its paradisiacal glory (A of F 1:10). It also refers to a holy city that will come down out of heaven at the beginning of the Millennium.
New Jerusalem is mentioned in each of the books of scripture used by the Latter-day Saints–Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. In order to get a good understanding of New Jerusalem it is important to see what each book teaches about this holy city.
- The law shall go forth out of Zion: Micah 4:2;
- The name of the city of my God is New Jerusalem: Rev. 3:12;
- John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem: Rev. 21:1–5;
- This people will I establish in this land, and it shall be a New Jerusalem: 3 Ne. 20:22;
- A New Jerusalem will be built in America: Ether 13:3–6, 10;
- The city of the New Jerusalem shall be prepared: D&C 42:9, 35, 62–69;
- Saints are to gather and build the New Jerusalem: D&C 45:63–75;
- The New Jerusalem is to be built in Missouri: D&C 84:1–5; ( D&C 57:1–3; )
- The Lamb shall stand upon Mount Zion and upon the holy city, the New Jerusalem: D&C 133:56;
- My tabernacle shall be called Zion, a New Jerusalem: Moses 7:62;
Where I find real relevance and immediate personal application for New Jerusalem–the City of Zion–is in the plat that was created by Joseph Smith for the organization of the holy city (History of the Church, Vol. 1 Chapter 26 [June 1833- July 1833]). This plat became the model for the early Saints as they built their settlements. At the center of New Jerusalem there are several temples. Everything in the city is built around and focused on the temple.The temple is a symbol of the Savior.
I live in Salt Lake County. Salt Lake was surveyed and laid out according to this patter. The base and meridian points are found at Temple Square. When I give people my home address I am actually telling them how far my home is from the Salt Lake City Temple. For those who are not familiar with Salt Lake City, I will use the words of a visiting tourist who posted the following on his website:
When the Mormon pioneers arrived in the Salt Lake Valley after their epic journey across the continent, and Brigham Young proclaimed that "Here we will build a temple to our God" in 1847, it was at this exact spot [Base & Meridian stone]. A stake was placed into the ground immediately and it became the anchor for the LDS headquarters and all of their activities thereafter.
This same method also allows me to find my way to the temple by simply reversing the cardinal directions of any address. If I am at Rice-Eccles Stadium (451 S 1400 E, Salt Lake City), then I just need to travel four-and-a-half blocks North and then 14 blocks West.
Have you ever noticed what is on the cover of each of the booklets prepared for latter-day youth? The temple is on the cover of the For the Strength of Youth, Personal Progress, and Duty to God booklets. Once again, the temple is a symbol of the Savior.
The City of New Jerusalem "sets forth an orderly pattern intended as an earthly reflection of the ideal religious community" (Far West Plat Reflects Inspired City Plan) as well as a pattern for a Christ-centered life.
THE SAVIOR IS AT THE CENTER! Those who will build their lives around the temple will find that they have centered their lives on the Savior. They will be citizens of New Jerusalem before it is built and they will receive the wages of the "laborer in Zion".

The Last of the Jaredites: Coriantumr and Shiz
CAUTION: This short film would probably be rated PG-13
IF you watch this film about the last battle of Coriantumr and Shiz, you will notice a content-error at the end. Understandably, it was probably an intentional artistic edit to increase the drama of an already dramatic battle.
ON THIS DAY IN 1844: 170 years ago today, the Prophet Joseph Smith, and his faithful and beloved brother, Hyrum Smith, were martyred at Carthage Jail. May we honor their lives by living our lives the best we can today! PRAISE TO THE MAN!

Complications After Hammer Toe Surgery
Hammer toe is a deformity of the toe, in which one or both joints bend abnormally into a "C" shape. Hammer toe can develop in any of the lesser toes, but most often affects the second toe, according to the Merck Manuals. Hammer toes can become painful over time, as the joints lose flexibility. It is also possible for a corn to develop over the prominent joint. When a hammer toe becomes problematic, surgery can be performed to remove part of the bone and release the contracted tendon.
If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.
Pain and Swelling
Hammer toe surgery requires the cutting of skin, nerves, tendon and bone, and as such, pain and swelling are not unexpected following the surgery, according to Premier Podiatry. Pain can be controlled through the use of pain medications dispensed by the surgeon. Keeping the affected leg and foot elevated can reduce swelling. Ice placed just above the surgical site can help keep swelling to a minimum. Rarely, the pain and swelling can become permanent.
After hammer toe surgery heals, it leaves a small scar that becomes less noticeable over time. In some cases, a keloid scar can form. According to MedlinePlus, a keloid is an overgrowth of scar tissue that appears red and inflamed, and possibly painful. Keloids are more likely to occur in African Americans. Sometimes, nerve tissue can become trapped, creating a painful scar called an adhesion.
A surgical site creates a wound, so there is the small possibility of developing an infection afterward, according to Premier Podiatry. Infection following hammer toe surgery can usually be handled with a short course of oral antibiotics. In rare cases, the infection can reach the bone, causing a serious infection called osteomyelitis. Osteomyelitis needs to be treated in the hospital with an extended course of intravenous antibiotics, followed by another course of oral antibiotics.
Delayed Healing and Dehiscence
Before having hammer toe surgery, the surgeon will test the circulation through blood tests and vascular studies, but delayed healing can still occur in some patients, according to FootDoc.ca. This happens more often in smokers, diabetics and those with metabolic diseases. In some cases, a wound dehiscence may occur. A wound dehiscence refers to a surgery that does not heal or breaks open after healing. The most common cause of a wound dehiscence is infection.
Recurrence of Deformity and Floating Toe
After having a hammer toe corrected through surgery, there is the chance that the deformity will return. According to Podiatry Today, this complication is usually due to the surgeon failing to isolate the exact underlying bio-mechanical cause of the deformity and correct it. There is also the chance of developing a flail toe, one that does not sit flat on the ground. A flail toe sticks up in the air a bit and can be either stiff or floppy. After surgery, it is important to avoid wearing high heels and to get well-fitting shoes that give the toes plenty of room, to lessen the chance for recurrence.

Unless you have a crystal ball, second sight or otherworldly connections it is impossible to predict the result of a football match, the exact score, who will (or won't) score, when the goals, if any, will come etc etc.
Fortunately with Betfair we can benefit from being able to adjust our position in the market whilst the game is being played. We can react to what happens, and we can prepare for what might happen. With experience and skill we can look to maximize our winning trades, and minimize the inevitable losing ones.
Trading football in-play is effectively about two things: the current score and the amount of time left. Everything that happens in all the in-play markets (and in a big game there are loads of in-play markets per match!) is linked to these two factors. Other things - bookings, injuries, substitutions etc have an effect, but those two are the key driving forces of the markets.
The simplest way to illustrate this is with the 0-0 scoreline. At kick off in a typical reasonably well matched game this will be available to back somewhere between 10 and 14 depending on who is playing. There are 90 minutes plus injury time left to play, so there is quite a large chance that 0-0 will not be the final score. If we fast forward to half time and neither team has managed a goal, half the game has gone! The chances of the final result being 0-0 is now considerably smaller than it was at kick off. The 0-0 score might now be available to lay at between 4.2 and 6.3. How can we potentially profit from this?
If we backed 0-0 with £10 at odds of 13.5 we stand to profit by (£10 * (13.5-1))=£125. If it stays 0-0 we win £125 - if a goal is scored we lose £10. Simple! The screenshot below shows this initial position (always make sure the 'What If' facility on Betfair is turned on - this isn't an actual trade - it just demonstrate the outcomes if you make this bet!). The green figure by 0-0 is our profit if that is the result, the red £10 by all other scores represents our loss if any of those is the full time outcome.
If, at half time, we LAY 0-0 at 5.9 for say £20 our position will be shown in the following screenshot:
Suddenly, our profit on 0-0 is now only £27, but on every other score we now stand to make £10! We have effectively sold our bet back to the market for more than we paid for it, and the profit is ours to keep. How cool is that? I can turn the computer off and disappear to the pub for the rest of the evening knowing that whatever happens in that game I am £10 minimum better off than I was at kick off!
What about if it is still 0-0 at 87 minutes, and you hadn't laid at half time? The odds on 0-0 now, with relatively little time left will be around 1.2 - which means that for every £100 backed the potential win is £2! Amazingly people still bet thousands of pounds at low odds every match. How does that affect the position? The screenshot below shows us that if we lay 0-0 for £100 at 1.2 we would win £105 if the game stays 0-0 or £90 with any other result!
Please understand I'm not recommending this as a trade! Only 11% of matches finish 0-0 - I just want to illustrate how trading works. The key thing to understand is that we aim to buy low and sell high! The last two screenshots show football trading nirvana - the magical and sought after 'all green screen' - i.e. all bases covered and not a negative red figure in sight! If you see the phrases 'greening up' or 'greened up' (which hopefully you will!) this is what is being referred to.

Ear-Tip Technicians work together to prepare the cat for surgery by administering antibiotics and tipping the cat's left ear. This position requires a rabies vaccination.
Safety First
- Monitor the cat for complications resulting from the anesthesia, in particular, irregular breathing or not breathing.
- Respiration should be >6/minute, heartbeat should be >100/minute, and gum color should be pink. If the cat is not breathing well, or its gums are blue, take the cat immediately to the Emergency CPR Station. Speaking loudly and calmly say "cat not breathing" to alert vets to converge at the Emergency CPR Station. Note: Xylazine causes pale gums.
- Dispose of all needles and syringes according to protocol with no exceptions. Do not recap the needles. Place the needle/syringe combination into a sharps disposal container. The needle cap can be disposed of in garbage or the sharps container.
Special Handling
- When transporting, do not hold the cat from the scruff of its neck alone. Always support its back and bottom too. Support the cat's head without flexing its neck, so that the airway remains straight and open.
- Keep the cat entirely on its fleece, including its tail, head and all of its feet. Do not allow any part of the cat's body to contact clothing, skin or anything except the fleece, in order to prevent any contamination from cat to cat.
Station Alert
- If a cat's ear has already been tipped, notify the Pre-Prep Recorder and send the cat to the Vaccinations Station for booster vaccines.
- If a cat has already been sterilized, but the ear has not been tipped, tip the ear with the Clinic Supervisor's approval and direct the cat to the Vaccinations Station for booster vaccines.
- Do not remove any alert tags.
Ear-Tip Technicians Instructions
Prepare approximately 50 doses of penicillin at the beginning of the clinic and as needed throughout the clinic. Avoid drawing up excessive doses of penicillin, since it must be discarded if not used by the end of the clinic:
- Shake the penicillin bottle to mix the antibiotic.
- Use a 3 cc syringe with an 18 ga needle that remains in the bottle to draw up multiple doses of the penicillin antibiotic upon arrival.
- Adults receive a 1.0 ml dose, and kittens receive a 0.5 ml dose.
- Place a new 20 ga needle on each syringe for administration.
- Place the filled syringes in the containers provided with a towel between the syringes and the ice packs to prevent freezing.
- Keep the penicillin vial in the cooler with a towel between the vial and the ice or ice packs to prevent freezing.
Compare the Paw Tag and the Medical Record to be sure the ID# matches
Administer the penicillin subcutaneously in the left shoulder. Aspirate prior to injection to be sure the injection is not accidentally intravenous.
Dispose of the used syringe and needle in sharps container. Do not recap or reuse.
Tip the left ear:
- Use the plastic ear-tipping guide to draw a line on the left ear where the hemostat should be placed to expose 3/8" of the tip.
- Place a straight hemostat directly below the line with crushing pressure.
- Using the flat tip on the cautery tool, run the edge across the top of the hemostat, removing the tip of the ear. When the tip of the ear is removed, run the flat side of the cautery tool across the top of the hemostat several times to ensure complete hemostasis. Remove the hemostat and place in the soapy water bucket
- Use new hemostats for each cat, and deposit the used hemostats in the instruments bucket containing warm soapy water.
- Clean the tip of the cautery tool with a brass brush in between cats.
- Save the paper towels from the instrument pack for spay board cleaning.
Check the Veterinary Examination Form for gender status to see where the cat goes next.
Transfer the cats to the appropriate station when they are ready to leave the Pre-Prep Station:
- Non-pregnant females and cryptorchid males are taken to the Bladder Express Technician.
- Pregnant females are transferred to the Spay Boards Station.
- Normal males are taken directly to the Surgery Prep Station.
All Station Images
Station Closing and Cleanup
When the clinic is concluded all station volunteers are expected to assist in the following:
- Inventory the remaining supplies and record shortages on the Inventory Reconciliation included in the kit.
- Repack the kit, including station instructions.
- Empty the ice in the small cooler and dry the cooler. Return the Penicillin to the Clinic Supervisor. The small cooler is placed on the pre-op rolling cart and returned to the storage room.
- Clean both rolling tables, ensuring all tape is removed, including undersides of the tables and return them to Anatomy Lab or Prep Room as appropriate.
- Clean the surgical table, including all tape, and return to proper location, ensuring that the table is lifted entirely and does not scrape on the floor.
- Wipe as much of the surgical lamp as can be reached.
- Place the kit on the pre-op rolling cart in the proper location.
- Clean the area and dispose of all trash, including plastic covering from the tables.

San Francisco taps open data for city apps
San Francisco taps open data for city apps
In October 2012, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee announced proposed revisions to the city's historic 2009 Open Data legislation. This proposed legislation strengthens San Francisco's position as a national leader in Open Data.
Open Data increases government efficiency and civic engagement, leading to social and economic benefits as a result of citizen interaction with government. Opening city data allows residents to use that data in innovative ways -- to identify trends, create solutions and build products and companies. Open Data creates positive environments that support early stage entrepreneurships and contribute to workforce development and job creation.
Recognizing these benefits, in 2009, San Francisco became one of the first cities to share its data publicly through its open data effort, DataSF. DataSF now has over 200 datasets from dozens of city agencies available and dozens of apps have been created from this data. There have been some great examples of what Open Data can be used to do.
Local company Appallicious used park data to build the SF Rec Park app which allows locals and tourists alike to discover the wonder of San Francisco's green spaces.
Among a plethora of features, users can use the app to find park information, search parks based on facilities, and discover volunteer opportunities.
"Ninety-six percent of San Franciscans live within a ten-minute walk to a park," said Phil Ginsburg, general manager of the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. "Access to recreation is so fundamental to the quality of our lives. It's important and noble to give people easier tools to use the park system."
Another great example of an app using Open Data is 100Plus, which prompts users to focus on making small, healthy lifestyle changes. The app uses open data sets from DataSF to map out San Francisco walking destinations.
Users are then encouraged to walk to, and discover, new destinations. Each time a user completes a route, their "life score" increases, encouraging further healthy activity.
While many of these companies are using Open Data to develop their products, Mayor Lee also announced that the city will begin to look to private sector partners to start releasing some of their private data to the public.
San Francisco-based Motionloft set historic precedent when they agreed to release some of their data to the public. Motionloft uses sensors to collect information on how many pedestrians, cyclists or cars pass by a certain location. This information is useful to a wide range of individuals from urban planners to small business owners.
"Making city data available to everyday citizens will help government explore new solutions to old challenges," said Mayor Lee. "Changing Open Data policies can unleash the creativity of the private sector so they can help us improve City services that impact our lives, from transportation, to how we access our parks, to how we request city services, making San Francisco the leader in Gov 2.0."

A mid-segment womenswear specialist, we connect with our consumers using an omni-channel distribution strategy that includes wholesale, shop-in-shop, franchise, retail and e-tail. Today we have more than 1500 sales points in more than 20 countries, and employ over 1200 people.
Founded in 1950, we remain privately owned, which enables us to maintain our commitment to the highest quality, timely deliveries, and building our authentic in-house brand, Sandwich.
2017 marks the start of an exciting new journey as we finalize a comprehensive renewal program designed to return us to our strengths, and serve our customers and consumers with passion, dedication and integrity.
Casual Contemporary Fashion for Open-Hearted Women
Open-hearted, real, caring and spirited – Sandwich is VeldhovenGroup's enduring brand, founded in 1981.
An effortless blend of smart femininity and comfort, Sandwich's casual contemporary signature is trusted by women worldwide to make every day special. Sandwich clothes feel beautiful and confident, helping the women who wear them to make real connections and radiate joy to others.
The Sandwich success story speaks to the group's heritage in mid-segment womenswear. As our original in-house brand, Sandwich is a part of the DNA of our company – and of our bright future.
Our story
Founded by independent entrepreneur Rudolf Veldhoven in 1950, our company began life as an importer of textiles and clothing to the Netherlands. We soon expanded to private label wholesale production as a supplier of European fashion.
Family ownership provided continuity and independence as the company introduced its own womenswear fashion brands Sandwich, Stills and NoNo in the 1980s and 1990s, and continued to expand in the 2000s.
The 2010s has seen the group place greater emphasis on strategic brand portfolio management as it strengthens in mid-segment womenswear. We acquired brands Turnover and DEPT – later divested with Stills and NoNo – and German brand Olsen, which was acquired by a local investor after significant growth.
Today the focus continues on building the business and growing the influence and success of the Sandwich brand.
Our values
Personal, Authentic, Loyal and Design-driven – these are the founding principles that continue to drive all we do. As an independent family venture, we apply our values from source to shop.
Our company culture has always been about honest, traditional values like hard work, enthusiasm, optimism and social behavior. Our people are passionate about designing, creating and selling great clothes. Our shop managers and retail staff love to talk fashion with a customer over a cup of tea or coffee. Our design teams obsess tirelessly about finding the perfect quality or weight of a fabric.
All of us put the consumer at the heart of everything we do, and take pride in working for a company with an authentic heritage of more than 60 years.
We believe in managing our business fairly and professionally. We serve our partners with integrity, quality and care. We work with the right suppliers who help us to achieve our aspirations. We pursue operational excellence in every step of the value chain, and place the highest value on long-term relationships.
Our partners depend on us season after season to deliver consistent quality, timely deliveries and a world of knowledge. Everything we do benefits from a company culture of talent and excellence in which each team member is valued for their contribution.
Our business approach
When you work with passion like we do, you set the bar high – with beautifully-made garments, timely deliveries, attractive sales margins, and attentive sales support.
We take a proactive, secure and sound business approach, which allows us to be creative and form inspired business relationships. With our dedicated expertise, we look forward to helping our business partners realize their objectives.

The Multistory Project aimed to address the key issue of providing a space for inter-generational and inter-cultural exchange and dialogue. The purpose of this space was to break down barriers between cultural groups and increase acceptance and tolerance across all cultures of Wagga Wagga. The space would enable cultural groups to develop their social voice to counter stereotypical and negative portrayals, or the lack of portrayal, in mainstream media, in addition to misinformed views that are promoted within physical and virtual communities.
The project provided Wagga Wagga with a community-owned and maintained media portal that allowed for communities and cultural groups to own the way in which they are portrayed in their community. Additionally, The Multistory Project helped to build the skills and capacity within the community to engage with new social media tools. This ensured that communities aren't disenfranchised by the lack of access to the Internet and new technologies that can be used not only promote themselves, but to enter into dialogue with the local community and the global community.
I learned computer skills, team work, digital skills, work experience, speaking skills improvement and how to meet new people"
– Jenelyn, a participant in Multistory digital literacy workshops
The project was most successful in generating content that displays the diversity of Wagga's population and promotes greater understanding of each other. Many of the workshops involving young people provided opportunities for cross cultural exchange. Another of the project's successes was in identifying a number of artists, who became involved in The Multistory Project through our Harmony Day events, the project launch and other workshops. These artists, through promotion on the website and the events, have gone on to develop more public awareness, employment and performance opportunities.
"I Write," Zohab Zee Khan:
Content created during The Multistory Project included: a dance video, a music video, cooking videos, performance poetry, Drawn Together digital storytelling workshops, and Bridges to Learning animation/digital literacy workshops.
This content was presented at numerous community events including: Harmony Day, The Multistory Website Launch, Ngiyaginya Festival, Refugee Week and Fusion Multicultural Street Festival.

Here is a quick post of some pictures of Kyce. I was babysitting and he was just so darn cute! He is just starting to crawl, sorta of:)) He actually scoots or drags himself, either way he is growing so fast. He also loves to eat as his big old fatty belly, and those ham hocks of thighs show! He has 3 teeth now, and is on solids for breakfast, lunch and dinner. His adopted Nanny Susan wanted to see him, and since I adore Susan it is easy to do as she asks.
Hugs, to Susan and all the rest of my blog blends who are such marvelous blessings in my life, Pam

Activity 1.4: Students engagement history. Main events.
The video is quite dynamic and I think it is a good synthesis of what have happened in relation to this topic of students' engagement.
More than naming them, as I do think it is clear in the video and writing them down wont be of much value for me, what I think is relevant to mention is, in my view, the shift from the idea of the 'corps' in the Greek era where the driver was to recognise the quality and reputation of the teachers to then shift to "defend" students rights. Two very different drivers. Although in Padua the situation of the majority of students as foreigners is what triggers the movement. The idea is that they need to take care by themselves of their rights, they need protection I guess. Then students start demonstrating against social issues like the Vietnam war or the massacre of Tiananmen amongst others. When the fees are introduced the philosophy is completely different and students are seen as 'clients' that are paying for a service and that turned the attention to a different aspect which is the quality of the experience of students at the university and how can they be part of that experience in a productive way. Which is what started in 2005 until now.

Educational Refund Check
After successfully passing his Prac-
tical Bookkeeping exams at the De-
partment of Education some time ago,
Luciano O. Krosendijk was awarded
a two-third refund check under the
Company's Educational Refund Plan
on October 4. The check, which co-
vers the greater part of his expenses
towards study books and tuition fees,
was presented to him by Chief Ac-
countant A. Randy Tappin in the pre-
sence of Crude & Products Section
Head Vic D. Tjin Tham Sjin. Lucia-
no, who enrolled in a one-year Mo-
dern Business Administration Course
without even awaiting the results of
his exams, will be using his refund
check to help pay for the new course.
Currently assigned in the Control-
ler's Facilities Accounting/Financial
Analysis Section, Luciano joined La-
go five years ago as a Trainee in the
Financial Section where he advanced
from Jr. Accounting Clerk and Ac-
counting Clerk 2 to Accounting Clerk
1, his present position.
Having previously achieved straight
A's in a Company-sponsored General
Accounting Course from the Interna-
tional Accounting Society of Chicago,
Illinois, Luciano, who is a 1965 Cole-
gio Arubiano HBS-A graduate, became
more interested in advancing in his
field of work through study. He fol-
lowed the Practical Bookkeeping
course from the Praehaep Institute,
Holland, by attending evening clas-
ses once a week at the John F. Ken-
nedy School, putting in an average
of three hours a day to complete the
extensive homework assignments.
Luciano, who is newly married, is
receiving full support from his wife,
Maria, in getting ahead. When he
completes the Modern Business Ad-
ministration Course, which he has al-
ready begun, he plans to study to-
wards the Dutch SPD diploma, the
equivalent of a State Administered
Accountancy diploma.

Process & Mechanical Personnel Trained on Use
Of New Model Scott Air-Pak Breathing Apparatus
A new model of the self-contained
breathing apparatus at Lago is the
Scott Air-Pak II with pressure-de-
mand hose line unit. Lago, having
constant interest in employees' safety,
has purchased three such models -
while others are on order to re-
place the six old fresh air hose masks
in use at Lago for more than 25 years.
Like the outdated equipment, the
new breathing apparatus is for use
on planned jobs in confined areas
where normal ventilation is in-
adequate and where the air could be
contaminated. The other Scott Air-
Pak models at Lago are used solely
in emergency situations.
To demonstrate the new equipment,
fifteen-minute training sessions were
held for Process and Mechanical per-
sonnel and supervisors at different
job locations throughout the refinery.
A total of 150 employees attended the
introductory sessions conducted by
Mechanical Training Coordinator Jer-
ry Francis, who was assisted by Safe-
ty Inspector Bill Geerman. At the end
of each training period, a volunteer
was called from the group to assem-
ble, don and try out the equipment.
Each session was concluded with a
question and answer period.
With the fresh air hose masks used
at Lago until recently, the user was
dependent on another employee who
had to supply him with fresh air by
manually cranking the air from a box,
popularly known as the tingilingi box
because in its operation it resembles
our typical Aruban barrel organ.
The new Scott Air-Pak II equipment
gives the user total independence and
is worn similarly to the other models.
Instead of carrying a cylinder on his
back from where he can get up to 30
minutes' supply of fresh air, the em-
ployee is now linked to a pressure-de-
mand hose line unit. This unit is com-
posed of a 50-ft long supply hose
connected to a cylinder containing
2000-lbs of compressed air, enough
for eight hours of continuous fresh
air supply. This cylinder is brought
to the job site and after each use it
is returned to the Central Tool Room
along with the rest of the equipment
where it is carefully inspected, rechar-
ged with filtered pure air and stored
for future use. No contamination is
possible in this very reliable unit and
the employee controls the air supply
from a pressure-reducing regulator at-
tached to the harness on his chest.
A special feature is a 5-minute sup-
ply egress or reserve cylinder
attached to the Scott Air-Pak II har-
ness on the employee's back which

"It is not enough to envision change, you must be the agent for change." Our hosts from the Global Summit of Women in Hanoi have spent the last three days building the spirit and promoting global women and celebrating their advancement. It was an inspiring event through each speaker, delegate and participant. I feel honored to have been a part of it. I look forward to nurturing the new friendships and connections made in my time here. I will write more as I process all my notes, and sort through the pictures and video on my flight. As I prepare for my departure. I just felt the need to thank the wonderful women of Hanoi for being such delightful and gracious hostesses. Kudos for a successful Summit!
