Microsoft Web Client Applications / Smart Client Applications
Microsoft Smart Client Applications combine the ease of use of MS Office Desktop Applications, the performance of Client-Server applications and the reach of the Internet. The result: unparalleled ease-of-use and performance within a secure, multi-user SQL database environment. Smart Client applications are built on the standard Microsoft SQL Server/.NET platform, and
cost far less
to build and maintain vs. browser-based business-to-business applications.
Smart Client applications (aka "Rich Internet Applications") look and perform just like Microsoft Office/Desktop applications — but they are deployed, automatically maintained, and enable real-time SQL Server Database sharing directly over a secure Internet. A true merger of the desktop and the Internet, Smart Client applications are ideally suited for business-to-business application needs, and are viewed by many as the next major wave in computing platforms.
Smart Client Application Advantages
There are no trade-offs. By merging the usability, performance and integration of Desktop applications with a centrally-managed, secure, easy to maintain system, Smart Client applications support I/T needs for centralized control and security — internal hosting and Active Directory integration is straightforward — and End Users' needs for power and flexibility. The results are robust business solutions that use the Internet to connect private business ecosystems.
Smart Client capabilities
appeal to the needs of both IT administrators and End Users. Smart Client applications are built on the standard Microsoft Business platform, and cost far less to develop and maintain than Browser-based applications
(see a comparison
), so the Smart Client approach makes good economic sense as well.
PCA has reduced the Smart Client Platform to an extensive library of re-usable software templates, modules and controls that are designed to drive high quality, low-cost business solutions.

The largest social protests in Israel's history were famously ignited in 2011 when 26-year-old Daphni Leef pitched a tent on Tel Aviv's Rothschild Boulevard, saying she could not find an affordable apartment. This move highlighted a problem that affects a wide swath of Israeli society: According to the Bank of Israel, the price of the average Israeli home has risen nearly 50% since December 2007 with rent prices also climbing sharply. Shatil has been fighting for affordable housing since before the protests began and continues to take a leading role in the struggle, working at both the national and local levels to influence policy and nurture local activism.
Coalition for Affordable Housing
In 2009, NIF established The Coalition for Affordable Housing, and Shatil continues to play a leading role in it. The Coalition aims to promote innovative solutions for affordable housing that will also address the needs of mixed-income neighborhoods. Shatil also regularly consults with groups across Israel who are working towards increased public housing, and in this regard has worked hard to connect the Coalition for Affordable Housing with grassroots activists. Shatil has offered many trainings on these issues tailored to the needs of different communities throughout the country, Haifa residents who are protesting the building of a stadium that would cause them to be removed from their homes, and older immigrants from the former Soviet Union in Rishon Letzion who want to live out their senior years without having to move out of their current homes.
Forum for Public Housing
Shatil coordinates the Forum for Public Housing and, together with the Forum, helped create a Knesset caucus for public housing, made up of Knesset members from across the political spectrum. Recently, the forum led a successful struggle against a government decision to annul Israel's Public Housing Law, which enables public housing tenants to buy their apartments for a considerably reduced price, after renting them for many years.
Promoting Sustainable Housing Solutions
In addition to seeking changes in policies and regulations, Shatil works with residents of many different communities, assisting them to undertake proactive initiatives to find or build sustainable housing. For example, Shatil-facilitated groups in Lod and Haifa have created the first socially minded housing cooperatives in Israel's Arab community.

(1996) Inferred that
Further and Higher Education Act (1992) support the Further Education
Funding Council (FEFC) to take regard of the requirements of students with
disabilities by providing additional funding to individual colleges. In this
way FEFC encourages students with disabilities to opt for higher educational
programs. These initiatives require individual institutions to competitively
bid for money to fund provision for students with disabilities.
and Hall (1999) found that disabilities in higher
education depends on good understanding, mind-set and acquaintance about disability
among staff and students more than the
institutional policies.

& Hartas, (2008 In recent years the number of students
with disability are interested in attending higher education is increasing.
Still then they have barriers in accessing and participating in higher
education courses.
et al. (2002) Pointed out that students with learning
difficulties in higher education should be taken care at three levels namely –
personal, organizational/institutional and political/ideological. Personal in
terms of providing counseling services and making students with disabilities to
understand the prospectus of the program, explaining the new teaching methods
and other necessaries related to the higher education. Organizational (HEI) in
terms of training the staff and modifying the physical environment. Finally,
ideological in terms current political policies which changes from time to
time, striving for equality and making them understand about the emerging
opportunities and entitlement to education.
et al. (2001) Listed few obstacles in recruiting students
with disabilities in higher education such as diversity, lifestyle, non
friendly to the surroundings and legal obligations. In his study, a number of Heads
stated that they did not actively recruit students with disabilities although
they "don't turn them away when they are registered". In certain subjects,
such as engineering, it was said that, for safety reasons, students with
disabilities were being discouraged from registering, raising issues regarding
equality of opportunity and participation of students with disability in
2008. At times staff may exhibit, either
implicitly or explicitly, negative attitudes regarding students with a particular
disability. They intend to have a negative attitude towards student with a disability
and vice versa – this affect the studies of student with a disability. Teachers
with positive attitude and flexible in teaching methods can handle students with
disability in a better way. Perceived power differences can be improved through
the development of a good rapport with students, having tolerance, good communication
skills, a flexible and concerned approach, an understanding of nature of different
disabilities and the different needs of students.
Dutta et al., (2009)
In spite of changes in many Western countries'
legislation and the development of programs for students with disabilities, in
recognition of the importance of higher education for individuals, families,
and society at large, low enrolment and high first-year dropout have been found
and initiatives have been taken according to the difficulties faced by the students
with disabilities. Below are the cases which the students with disabilities
often face it. Low enrolment and high dropout can be understood as the result
of inadequate accessibility of higher education institutions, lack of support,
adverse social attitudes and social isolation, as well as low financial
Rimmerman & Araten-Bergman,
(2005). A public committee in Israel examined the
implementation of the Equal Rights for Persons with Disabilities Act, emphasized
the crucial role of higher education in the inclusion of people with
disabilities into society and in employment. Israel's National Insurance
Institute allocated resources to making academic institutions accessible, as
well as granting individual students with disabilities scholarships and support
services. The recent study was initiated to estimate the outcome of these
social and legal developments on the inclusion of students with disabilities in
higher education. The improvement in the research, for the students with
disabilities to participate in a wide range of student activities, in addition
to conventional academic outcome.
(Burgstahler & Cory, 2008) When Anti-discrimination legislation for
students of disabilities was established and it pointed out the social barriers
faced by them in the day to day life. Anti-discriminatory legislative caveats
specifies that society and educational institutions should take special care in
serving the students of disabilities various requirements.
2007; Watson, Kearns, Grant & Cameron, 2000
In general students
with disability do not possess the context of multi- lingual, when it comes to
higher education and surveys suggest the importance of the major role played by
this area. The key point for the development of student disability is to
identify and understand the view and experience of disabled students,
specifically in academic theory. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) should
take steps in understanding the obstacles of disabled students.
and Ngoepe's study (2016)
Stated that students
with disabilities were not fulfilled with a purpose-built library service unit
which was established with international best practice. Only very little
material has been translated into accessible formats. Moreover, only one
librarian was consigned to administer and run the entire library service for
all the students with disabilities.
et al., (2002)
It is unenviable
(difficult) to consider disabled students as a separate group, as they fall
along a continuum of learner differences and share similar challenges and
obstacles that all normal students face in higher education. At times the
obstacles faced by disabled students are more when compared to the normal
students, but sometimes not. To avoid these issues, the main beneficiaries of disability legislation
should take necessary steps by providing
well-prepared handouts, instructions given in writing as well as verbally,
materials should be updated in online from time to time and different types of assessment forms.
& Hartas, (2008)
Globally there is a
rise in the number of students with disabilities entering higher education
institutions which show the interest of disabled students. Equal opportunity
and admission for disabled students are sponsored by higher education
institutions with the policies created
for non-discrimination by the Legislation.
et al. (2005)
Observed that UK higher
education system made changes in education system for disabled students which
attracted them for education. The changes were useful for both the staff and
students, this paved a way for an increase in number of disabled students for
UK higher education (Hopkins, 2011). Students with specific learning
difficulties (SpLD) such as dyslexia and dyspraxia shows more interest for UK
higher education in recent years.
Illustrates the
personal difficulties connected with studying disability in Higher educational
settings. A collection of legislative and policy instruments have been
specially developed to restore the difficulties connected with education for
learning disabled students.
Ebersold and Evans 2003
ecological definition should be adopted that accepts disability as "a product
of strengths and weaknesses of the individual and the environment in which
he/she functions, and not due solely to his/her intrinsic characteristics. Thus
many SWD can be successful if the learning conditions are supportive and meet
their particular needs."
Prospects of higher
enrollment of students with disabilities have prompted academic institutes to introduce
innovative programs to meet these students needs. Special programs have been
opened for students with visual impairments, students with learning
disabilities, and students with psychiatric disabilities.
et al., (2001)
Western countries
legislation has come out with many development programs in higher education for
students with disabilities. But still then there is a low enrolment and high
first-year drop out as been found. This happens due to lack of moral support,
social isolation, inadequate
accessibility of higher educational institutes and low financial capacity.
Long with the
supporting factors, researches have inferred that faculty attitude towards
students with disabilities plays a vital role. Faculty should understand the
point that disabled students are entirely different from one another (need,
understanding power, knowledge etc). Entire success or failure of a disabled
student depends on the teaching staff. Any negative attitude of the staff as a
very bad effect on the student. . In a survey, 50% of students with
disabilities indicated that faculty members understood their needs, but only
25% of faculty members were willing to change the material covered in their
courses to suit these students& learning needs. Most (82%) of the students
indicated that faculty members needed to learn more about disabilities.
Learning Disability
(LD) is developmental disorder typically identified in childhood. Even though
many students with LD continue to show weakness in academic skills in
adulthood. In recent decades students with learning
disabilities shows interest in enrolling in colleges and universities as postsecondary
institutions have developed a wide range of services to meet these students'
Studies have defined
disability in different ways, hence there is no approved definition. The
subject of disability has been widely debated by scholars both inside and
outside the discrete field of disability studies. In the Preamble to the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, the lack of an
agreed definition is evident as signatory nations, including Australia, agree
to "Recognizing that disability is an evolving concept"

Namaste Narasimhaya: Black Metal versus Postmodernity
by Colin Liddell and Francisco Albanese
Several years after the rise of National Socialist Black Metal (NSBM), it is time to finally realize that a true Black Metal sense has been lost. This has come about through a number of events and developments, including the imprisonment and release of Hendrik Möbus, the emergence of a depressive strain of Black Metal, Jon Nödtveidt's suicide, and a symbiosis between the underground and the mainstream.
The uniformity of the post-modern world pushed Black Metal towards the abyss of recursiveness, to reinvent itself, to be both product and producer – a complex construction that, despite its message, tends to its own destruction and devastation.
The primeval spawn of the NSBM movement started with its adoption of Hollywood nazi-fascist elements that were designed simply to shock and scare, but this later evolved in a more 'positive' direction that became tied to the goal of explicitly affirming racial survival. This created the ultimate irony of a musical genre that had been focused on the metaphysical aspects transversal to life and death becoming instead focused on life.
In place of totemic National-Socialist aspects, there was an incorporation of ideological National-Socialism and identitarian elements, usually of a nostalgic and anachronistic nature. This also tended towards a domestication and softening of the movement, as well as some loss of spirituality in the counterculture (or "occulture").
What was once frightening and radical thus became focused on the technical and accessible to the masses, effectively becoming a demystified and 'secular' Black Metal. This move, which separated the music from its roots, was welcomed and supported by the audience. But as the 'positive' aspects were highlighted, Black Metal also lost much of its primal nature – its fundamental negativity, the abyss from which it drew its energy, as, in essence, Black Metal was the glorification of death as a core of transcendence, not an ultima ratio.
Through this reinvention, this so-called counterculture and attack on society, underwent a process of beautification, selling out its mythic power in exchange for banalities like brotherhood and philanthropy. From existing as a heresy in the contemporary music scene, it mutated into something more like folk music. The true Black Metal spirit was lost under layers of flutes, ocarinas, and good wishes for all.
Some argue that the decline of the West lies in individualism, and that we should therefore strive to escape from it and turn towards such collective bonhomie, but at the same time there can be no place for socialism in the Black Metal domain.
How, then, can we create an potent individualist antithesis in Black Metal to oppose to the atomization of modernity that is turning the world into an effeminate cage focused on human rights beloved by leftists? To answer this I will use a metaphor from the Narasimha Purana, one of the Upapuranas, a genre of Hindu religious texts, and invoke the Dionysian thought of Nietzsche. Let us make the following equations:
- Hiranyakashipu = the post-modern world (a consequence of the modern world)
- Vishnu = the true Western ethos
- Narasimha = the form and function of Black Metal
In the Narasimha Purana, Hiranyakashipu (the post-modern world) cannot be killed by a human, deva, or animal. Vishnu (the Western Ethos), takes form through Narasimha, a beast/man deity. In a cruel world, Vishnu makes his avatar crueler, so Narasimha (Black Metal), if it is to have a meaningful existence, must go beyond all parameters and acceptable boundaries, and not be limited to established standards, which merely lead it into anachronism.
This reliance on a degree of individualism may seem paradoxical, but rather than the self-seeking narcissism of the post-modern world, it is actually a pure negation of the Self and a pulverization of all human aspects. It is pure desire separate from reason because in an Apollonian world, the Apollonian man has become mass-man.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law: this Will-to-Power must deny the main rule of the Modern World, i.e., reason.
Because progressive values and science go hand in hand, there is no real separation between State and Religion. This is despite the view of atheists that only a religion with explicit gods is an actual religion. In fact, the secular rational atheist liberal has many other "gods." To move away from such spiritual banality it is important to conceive of the world as it truly is, as something more irrational, superstitious, sinister, amoral, and transcendent.
The religiosity and fanaticism expressed by sectors inside Black Metal go beyond mere aesthetic elements or devotion as an end in itself. They open up an attack on post-modernity from two time flanks: past and future.
Black Metal has served not only as a tool of apostasy – a means to opt out – but also as an archeofuturistic precursor of old and new spirituality. But even the elements of resentment have acted as a catalyst of knowledge/wisdom. Without Black Metal to blast the scales away, many would not have been able to investigate more enlightening avenues.
On the basis that all the great civilizations and their manifestations, except those of the East, have been product of Indo-European peoples, it is not hard to understand the reason why the occult – that is religions and spirituality of past ages – tends to evoke degrees and forms of racial awareness and white nationalism that focus on cultural and identitarian claims (Kultürkampf) rather than the defence of the modern nation-state (an ideological polity). This points to the awakening of archetypes as small islands in Modernity, tribal islands in a uniform world.
Rock, the 'grandfather' of Black Metal, also, just like Black Metal, appeals to the basic, carnal, awakening aspects suppressed by centuries of Apollonian white music. The emergence of Rock marks a return of the Dionysian that rejects, mocks, disrupts, and destroys the neat, rational pop sound (a celebration, embodiment, and stasis of the banality of modern life). It is an impulse to overthrow the universal order rooted in the catacombs of Rome that has castrated the beast in man.
I will finish this brief commentary with a quote from Friedrich Nietzsche, who we could perhaps claim as a proto Black Metaller, drawn from The Birth of Tragedy:
"[L]est the Apollonian tendency freeze all form into Egyptian rigidity, and in attempting to prescribe its orbit to each particular wave inhibit the movement of the lake, the Dionysian flood tide periodically destroys all the little circles in which the Apollonian will would confine Hellenism."
[Birth of Tragedy 9.]
Id est, "Against the odds, black metal gods."

1. Start on one side of your head and curl a section of hair that is around two inches thick.
2. Roll into a pin curl and hold in place with a duckbill clip. Notice that the curls are going in the direction away from your face.
3. Continue curling and pinning. You'll ultimately create your five rows of pin curls around your head: One on each side of your head, then one next to each of those sections and one directly in the centre of your head. Keep the curls in place for at least 15 minutes.
4. Pull out the pin curls and comb through your hair with your fingers to shape the curls.
5. To get your hair completely ready for the up do, pin your bangs or the front section of your hair back to help shape this section of hair, or to make it easier to go back to this section to style later.
Before starting the curling process, make sure you've found the right hairspray and mousse for your hair to give it that extra wedding glam.
1. Start with wet hair, and brush in a nice handful of mousse, concentrating on the ends and bottom layer of my hair (since the bottom layer is next to the warmth of your back, and has the weight of the rest of your hair on it, it usually doesn't hold curl as long as the top layers).
2. Then blow dry, being sure that it is completely 100% dry. Any wetness left will just make your hair not curl as well, so give it a minute or two of blow drying after your hair has dryed
3. Once hair is completely dry, clip up the top layers, so that only the bottom is exposed. You want to be sure you're getting all the layers evenly curled, and it's much easier to grab them if the higher layers are out of the way
4. Take about 1 to 1.5 inch section of hair, and lightly spray it with hairspray. Again, this is something you'll want to experiment with, if you have more delicate hair, and your curling iron is turned up too high, this could cause burning.
5. Finally, after spraying the section of hair, quickly wrap it around the curling iron. Don't grab the bottom of your hair with the iron and curl up, as this will just concentrate the curl at the bottom, and it will go flat more quickly. Instead grab the strand of hair with the iron about half way up, twisting the iron in your hands, and work your way down until the end is wrapped around the iron, and hold for a minute or two.
Medium to long, curly or wavy hair works best for this style: You'll want the ends of your hair to curl up and around the bun
1. Part your hair as desired. Don't define your part past the crown of your head. On one side, separate your hair into three sections at your hairline and begin French braiding until you reach the nape of your neck. Complete the same process on the other side.
2. When you reach the nape of your neck, combine the two braids and complete the braid so that it becomes one braid when it's below the nape of your neck. Secure the ends with a ponytail holder.
3. Twist the braid and hide the ends so it looks like a bun. Secure it to your head using bobby pins.
4. Spray everything with a light finishing spray

'Planet of the Apps' Star Gary Vaynerchuk Blames Show's Failure on Apple's Poor Marketing
Entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk, who starred in Apple's first original TV show "Planet of the Apps" as a mentor and investor, recently shared some insight into why he thinks the show ultimately failed, blaming Apple's marketing efforts.
Vaynerchuk made the comments in a recent episode of AskGaryVee, where he spoke with The Grill Dads from Food Network (via Business Insider). In the video, Vaynerchuk says that Apple did "everything" wrong when marketing "Planet of the Apps," and that he sat through Apple marketing meetings metaphorically "bleeding profusely from his mouth" from biting his cheeks to keep quiet on Apple's decisions.
I was on an Apple show, right? Planet of the Apps? Gwyneth, Will, Jessica Alba, and me and Apple didn't use me or Vayner[Media] to do the marketing and did EVERYTHING wrong. Apple. [...]
I don't trust anybody in marketing today. And I feel like when you have the misfortune of also knowing production and marketing you're sitting there -- and I did the same thing -- for all my bravado, I'm a real tough guy when it's in my home, this is my home. When I do content, it's my home. But when I'm in somebody else's house, I was taught to show respect.
You'd be blown away by the way I handled myself in the Apple marketing meetings. My cheeks were bleeding profusely out of every meeting because I was biting them. My tongue completely fell out of my mouth. You're also there with Jimmy Iovine and Jimmy is like 'I got it, we got it,' and I knew he wasn't in the trenches, I know Jimmy's no dope, clearly, but I was like f**k this.
Vaynerchuk didn't go into specific detail on what he thought Apple did wrong, but he did say that he felt Jimmy Iovine was not involved enough in the marketing of the show. Apple limited "Planet of the Apps" to its Apple Music subscribers as a perk, which undoubtedly had an impact on its popularity, but given the response to the show, it's doubtful more expansive marketing would have improved the ultimate outcome.
"Planet of the Apps" launched in the summer of 2017 and received rather mixed reviews. Engadget, for example, called it Planet of the Naps and said it was lousy TV, The Guardian said it "won't be a fun watch for anyone except maybe venture capitalists," and Variety said it was a "bland, tepid, barely competent knock-off of 'Shark Tank.'"
The unscripted series was meant to be about apps and the developers who make them. It featured several app developers who pitched different app ideas for a chance to be mentored by influencers and entrepreneurs that included Vaynerchuk, Gwyneth Paltrow, Will.i.am, and Jessica Alba.
Mentors helped their chosen candidates build out their apps and prepared them to ask for funding from Lightspeed Venture Partners.
"Planet of the Apps" wasn't universally hated and some viewers did enjoy it as it earned 3.5 stars on iTunes, but unlike Apple's second original TV show, "Carpool Karaoke: The Series," "Planet of the Apps" did not get renewed for a second season and Apple has not continued on with the series.

Gary Vaynerchuk is annoying. Nobody can figure out what he does or why he thinks he is the man. Whenever his videos come up on social media I just hit the 'Report' button and choose the 'Spam' or 'Scam' option.
Gwyneth Paltrow is privileged out-of-touch rich chick who used her fame to build a brand that defrauds women and encourages women to be stupid by selling complete quackery like Jade Eggs to strengthen their vaginas.
Same as above with Jessica Alba. So far this casting is a disaster and would offend most real entrepreneurs who had no fame and worked to the bone from poverty.
Then we add Will.I.Am to the mix. Overexposed, overrated, overpaid, and has an annoying name.
The only way this show could have been a bigger failure would be to add Ashton Kutcher to the mix.
Apple should had muffle it more.
No, it wasn't Apple marketing, and he never was in a successful show and never will be.
This is true. Many people think it was a bad show, and those people happen to not fit into the target audience and viewed the show as Apples touted competitive original content designed to go against Netflix.Or that target demo was just too small. I can only speak for myself (crazy on the internet, I know), but I had no interest in the show, I thought the cringeworthy name telegraphed even lower expectations, and it didn't matter who was starring in it. The marketing had no effect either way.
I am looking forward to some of the other announced shows, however, especially Foundation.

Healthcare data analytics plays a pivotal role in redefining the quality of care patients receive. We have all heard of big data. What does big data comprise of in healthcare? When it comes to healthcare, big data includes everything from emergency correspondence and journal articles to web pages and social media posts. Data is available in bulk. This data needs to be understood and utilised to improve the quality of care that patients desire. Data analytics allows proper understanding of trends, identifies patterns, creates connections, and finally takes advantage of the data explosion by deriving actionable insights.
Healthcare analytics is highly prospective in augmenting future healthcare opportunities. When it comes to emergency care, data analytics allows emergency teams to quickly determine the basic technicalities like the 'When and Where' aspects by sorting through various news feeds and raw data traffic. Data analytics also identifies trends and patterns and spots outbreaks in advance that prepares doctors to deal with the complications beforehand and prevent a disease altogether.
Types of Data Analysis
It has to be understood that data analysis does not entail to a mature and educated guess. It is the determination of highly probable future happenings based on facts that are trending currently. Data analytics can be classified into two spectrums. Exploratory data analysis and Confirmatory data analysis.
Exploratory data analysis (EDA) is primarily used to determine new trends in the marketplace. Usually, businesses apply EDA when they want to find out what the next big trend in the industry is likely to be. From predicting things like the future consumer electronic device of choice by analysing consumer buying behaviour SEO, to determining the kind of disease that might be prevalent next summer, Exploratory data analysis is used.
Confirmatory data analysis (CDA) is a bit different. CDA is used mainly to support or dismiss an already existing hypothesis. CDA is of great use especially in the medical field, as it determines everything from the reason and origin of a flu or disease, to the kind of medicine that is perfect to eradicate the same. This is exactly how drugs and medicines are developed overtime, as various researches use a plethora of product combinations to finally determine what the best medicine is for a particular disease.
Thus, it's safe to claim that the scope of healthcare data analytics is truly immense.
Modern Data Analytics – Making the job easier for researchers and analysts
The rapid advent of modern healthcare analytics has indeed made life easier for researchers. Earlier, researchers and analysts had to go through a huge amount of data in terms of pages, including terribly long hours of labour to arrive at the basest of conclusions from the data available. But this kind of analysis meant that there was hardly any kind of methodology that allowed the relational study of huge chunks of data. As a result, there existed a high chance for one to miss out on information. The most valuable method would probably be insights generated out of sample group meetings. However, this only provided a faint idea of what the larger contingent might want, but too concretely determine what's probable over thousands of individuals, no mechanisms were time and cost effective.
Today, healthcare data analytics has transformed into a highly flexible system that easily creates understanding from multiple data-sets with the ability to search information by relationships between various entities.

TNA No Surrender 2007 Breakdown
How can you honestly say hard justice was bad. Here's the facts. hard justice was amazing! The opening x division match is a motyc this match was nuts it had all those cool spots. senshi did a freckin double stomp from the top rope you are delusuional for only giving it 2 and a half stars it shows how biased you are. raven vs kaz was way better then i expected raven can still go he did a hurricanrana from the outside of the ring. the steiners match was awesome these 2 teams show'd they still have it. and everyone critisized rhyno drinking beer let me explain this so you can understand because i know your not very smart rhyno was drinking beer because storm made him that way rhyno was showing how crazy he was to storm. and the main event was awesome this match had all kinds of cool spots. and everyone wants to critisize the finish well wwe does finish's like this all the time so fuck you. tna is awesome wwe sucks end of story. you should go watch my videos that me and my friend bill do on youtube that'll set you straight

Scheduling has prevented me from seeing Impact for the last month or so, but I generally don't need an explanation as to why two guys who were feuding are suddenly teaming up when Russo is booking. And don't give me the "Russo is only a consultant" argument. What I do need an explanation for is that last PPV Killings pointed out that Pacman's contract wouldn't allow him to be touched. Why would he be surprised that Pacman doesn't want to get in there (which is exactly what happens throughout this match)? Karen Angle (hoo-ahh!) runs down and starts an argument with Sting, and then she slaps him. Sting yells at her, so she falls down clutching her face, selling like Sting slapped her. Angle tags out and sees Karen lying there. She explains that Sting did, in fact, smack her around. In the ring, Sting hits a Scorpion Deathdrop on Killings. Killings takes a Stinger Splash and falls into the tag to Jones. OFF COMES THE SHIRT! Angle slides in and gives Sting an Angleslam in retaliation for slapping Karen. Pacman apparently gets the pin, which is missed by the crack production staff because they're looking at Karen. So Pacman get the win and the titles at 5:33. I suppose there are dumber ideas. I'd have to really think about it, though. But hey, they got a BLURB written about them for this! A BLURB, PEOPLE! You can't buy publicity like that. Most of the action took place off-camera, but it didn't look like anything interesting happened. 1/2*
Rhino storms the ring and chases Storm out into the crowd. Funny spot as Storm tries to hide behind a fan, but everyone's pointing to him. Fan interaction: I like it. Rhino takes a nasty spill (looked like an accident) down the stairs. He catches Storm coming off the second tier, though, and slams him into the wall. Storm reverses a suplex and gets one of his own, something that was almost missed as the production staff cut to a shot of the empty portal at the top of the ramp. Oooh, how existential! It represents the hole in Rhino's soul that has been left by alcoholism! Finally, they get in so the match can start. Jackie breaks up the Gore, which is good because Rhino doesn't like doing a move that requires 12 steps. BWAAHAHAHAHHAHAH! **ahem** Storm hits an enzuigiri to take over. He hits a swinging butterfly for two, but Rhino comes back with the belly-to-belly and the GORE, GORE, GORE! ONE, TWO, THR-NO! Rhino tosses some chairs in, but Storm takes him up and hits the ACE CRUSHER ON THE CHAIRS! ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! Rhino sets up a table but hits a TKO. Then, he decides to set up the table in the corner. Storm hits a superplex and goes for the superkick, but Rhino ducks and gores him through the table. That's enough for the win at 9:26. After the match, Rhino tries to give Storm a Budweiser colonic, but the little keg malfunctions. Jackie saves the day by taking a gore. Way to be a trooper, Jackie! Fun little brawl to (hopefully) end the feud. ***1/4
Quick exchange to start, and they tumble over the top to the floor. Roode uses Miss Brooks as a weapon to take over. Back in, Storm targets the leg. Nice, solid midcard match follows. Kaz scores a rollup and an enzuigiri, but he runs right into a spinebuster. Roode pulls out a chain, but Kaz kicks it away from him. Miss Brooks picks up the chain and kicks it under the ring. Meanwhile, Kaz hits a missile dropkick, but his springboard is cut off. Roode wants the chain, but Miss Brooks tells him she hasn't seen a chain. Kaz readies for a plancha, but Roode pulls Miss Brooks in the way. Kaz puts on the breaks but hits Roode with a dropkick. THAT sets up the rolling suicida. Big pop for that, and Miss Brooks seems pleased. Back in, Kaz slingshots into a DDT. The Future Shock (or whatever he calls that move) is blocked, so Kaz hits the waterwheel piledriver (á la Dr. Death). ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! That probably should have been the end. Instead, Kaz takes him up and hits a Super X-Factor for two. Kaz goes up but misses a cannonball legdrop and probably shatters his tailbone. Roode finishes with the Payoff (Fisherman's Suplex) at 13:49. Good competitive match-up (which is exactly what Tenay calls it). ***1/2
Angle hiptosses Lethal and gets all cocky, so Lethal hiptosses him right back and hits a dropkick. Macho jabs in the corner, but Angle boots him in the gut and powerbombs him into the turnbuckle. Kurt gets rough, knocking Lethal around with uppercuts. They collide with clotheslines for a double KO spot. Angle stalks Lethal for the Angleslam, but Lethal counters to a DDT. Lethal goes up, but Angle jumps up and belly-to-bellies him for two. Machismo shoves him away and small packages him for two on the rebound. Angle pops up, though, and hits ROLLING GERMANS! Lethal armdrags out of an Angleslam and hits the Lethal Combination. ELBOWDROP! ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! Lethal goes for an Angleslam, but Angle counters to the Anklelock. Lethal rolls through that and rolls up Angle for the upset win at 12:19. Good match with Lethal basically copying all of the stuff everyone else has done to have a good match with Kurt Angle. It worked, even if we've seen it all before. ***1/4
Harris clobbers Reign with a pescado. In the ring, he tries to toss Dustin into the post. Sadly, Reign's man-boobs won't let him fit in between the buckles. Reign hits an Ace Crusher for two. Harris slams him off the top and bulldogs him for two. Reign picks up Darkness Falls (his stick), but Earl Hebner stops him from using it. Why? Harris rolls up Black Reign for the win at 5:14. Well, this certainly sucked. After the match, Harris cuffs Black Reign to the buckle, but Black Reign has a key (duh). He knocks Harris out and unleashes the rat on Harris' face. Oh my God! The rat is crawling in the general vicinity of Chris Harris! Yeah, Damien she ain't. 1/2*
It's like the Royal Rumble only the winner gets his partner back for a tag match right after. AJ Styles is #1. Christopher Daniels is #2. They do their usual match until Homicide comes in at #3. Styles and Daniels team up, but Homicide cleans house on them early. Chris Sabin is #4. EYEPOKES FOR EVERYONE! Havoc is #5. He goes after AJ but gets hit with a flying clothesline by Sabin. Petey Williams is #6. Homicide gets backdropped over, disappointingly. Williams hits Havoc with the Canadian Destroyer. Sabin tries a DDT on Styles, but AJ powers him over the top to the floor. D-Von is #7. He destroys everyone. Big chant for D-Von. Jimmy Rave is #8, representing Christy Hemme's new team. THE CROWN JOO-ELL! He goes after AJ and tilt-o-whirls into the armbar. Brother Ray is #9. There goes Havoc. Raven comes in at #10. He nails AJ styles with the discus clothesline and smothers Daniels with the snot rag. Team 3D teams up to toss Raven. Shark Boy is #11. He bites D-Von in the ass but stumbles back into Brother Ray. Ray tosses him over. Sonjay Dutt is #12. Rave and Petty Williams get eliminated by Team 3D. AJ and Daniels team up for the Double Goozle. BG James is #13. He goes after Brother Ray. Hernandez is #14. Sonjay tries to sunset flip him and gets tossed. AJ avoids the Border Toss but gets clotheslined. Tomko is #15. He tosses D-Von to the apron. Brother Ray charges and winds up eliminating his own partner. Tomko tosses Ray. Elix Skipper is #16. Aren't Skipper and Daniels supposed to be banned from tagging together? Alex Shelley is #17 (and hugely over). He spits in Sonjay's face, and Sonjay proceeds to oversell like a maniac. Shelley tosses BG James. What an honor. Lance Hoyt is #18. He chokeslams Skipper, knocking his head on the apron on the way down. That looked brutal. Kip James is #19. He cleans house on everyone before Sonjay gives him a hug. Kip tosses him. Eric Young is #20. HEADLOCKS FOR EVERYONE! Hernandez charges but gets tossed by Tomko. Tomko stands there gloating, so Young tosses him. Kip dropkicks Hoyt out. Kip tries to backdrop Daniels out, but Daniels holds on and takes him out too. That leaves Styles, Shelley, and Eric Young. Both guys suck up to him, but he unloads on both of them. AJ nearly gets eliminated, but he and Shelley team up to toss him out about 22 minutes in. So we get…
The MCMG blitz Tomko with doubleteams, AWESOME doubleteams. Finally, he gets sick of selling and just tosses them aside. AJ tags in and hits the Quebrada DDT. Sabin ducks out of the Clash and enzuigiris him. More doubleteams from the Guns. AJ hits the Pélé (out of nowhere, of course). He and Sabin take turns reversing each others rollups, but Styles winds up on top with a handful of tights for the win at 2:55. Could have used more of this. ***3/4 for the whole thing.
Joe storms the ring and wins a slugfest. He clocks Christian with a lightning legline. The Facewash sends Christian to the apron, and Joe slings him into the rail. Yeah, Joe's pissed. He whips Christian into the rail. Back in, Joe just walks away from a dropkick attempt. SUICIDA! Christian goes after Joe's ankle and snaps his throat on the top rope to get some offense in. Joe blocks the Facewash and hits the STJoe. Joe gets two off a DVD. Christian misses a frogsplash and gets powerbombed for two. He kicks out, but Joe segues to the STF. Christian squirms out of it and out of the Musclebuster as well. Joe catches him with a snap powerbomb for a close two. Christian catches Joe on top and delivers a Super Samoan Drop. Joe recovers and locks in the Coquina Clutch. Christian pushes him over and puts his feet on the ropes, but this time he gets caught. Nice play on their match at Destination X. Joe reapplies the hold and maintains the hold even after Christian makes the ropes. The ref pulls him off, so Joe goes nuts and destroys the ref. He adds a Musclebuster to Christian, but another ref comes in and disqualifies him at 15:01. The X-Division jobbers come in and quickly get tossed aside. Well, Angle looks silly for getting pinned by Lethal now that Joe is able to casually toss him aside. They probably should have had Lethal successfully pull him off, setting up Joe vs. Jay with Jay finally getting a clean win over Joe (the guy who took the title away from him in the first place). Instead, Matt Morgan pulls Joe off Christian as he's hanging him over the top. Joe and Morgan go face-to-face, presumably setting up a match between the two. This was legalized slaughter. Not as good as Destination X, but it had a different story and told it well. ***1/4
Kurt takes Abyss down, so Abyss powers him up and sets him on the top turnbuckle. Kurt tries to run away, but Abyss has him by the doublet. Abyss clotheslines him over the top, allowing some idiot in the front row to get on camera the gayest laugh in the history of male laughs. Angle goes after Abyss' ankle, for obvious reasons. He clips Abyss' leg out from under him. More clipping. He wraps Abyss' leg around the bottom rope. Abyss comes back with a ginger avalanche and a spinebuster for two. Angle charges but goes into the post. SHOCK TREATMENT! ONE, TWO, THRE-NO! Angle counters a chokeslam to a rollup for two. GERMAN SUPLEX! The Olympic Slam only gets two. Angle gets pissed and goes after Abyss' boot. He starts stomping Abyss' exposed ankle. Angle comes off the second-rope right into a chokeslam attempt. Angle kicks his way out of it but runs into the Black Hole Slam. ONE, TWO, THR-NO! He goes for a Tombstone, but Kurt rolls through to the Anklelock. Abyss crawls toward the ropes, so Angle pulls him back and applies the legscissors. Abyss finally has to give up at 19:27. Angle retains at least one of his titles – the important one. The match was a good technical heel versus monster babyface contest with Abyss trying to use his power in the face of Angle's strategy. ***
The 411: A welcome rebound after the horrid Hard Justice PPV last month. In fact, this is one of the better PPVs of the year. The only really bad matches (and they were *really* bad) were the tag title match and the Black Reign grudge match. Granted, there was a lot of idiocy in the booking, but there was more than enough good wrestling to make up for it.

In the allied health professions there is a continuous trend of professionals stacking, or obtaining more than one credentials. Medical assistants getting their Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA) credential and stack it with a Certified Phlebotomy Technician (CPT) credential. Medical administrators, get both credentials as a Certified Billing and Coding Specialist (CBCS) and a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA). But, what is the value of stacking credentials for allied health professionals?
Sickness doesn't take a holiday ... which means many healthcare professionals can't take one, either.
Every October, Medical Assistants Recognition Week celebrates medical assistants who are at the heart of healthcare. From October 15-19, 2018, employers and educators of medical assistants have an opportunity to honor the contributions these valuable healthcare professionals make in the lives of their patients, healthcare teams and greater community. Here are a few ideas of ways to observe MAR Week in your office or classroom.

Hospital Partnership Propels Success
Career & Technical Education (CTE) in high schools is gaining momentum, and it's easy to see why. It's been proven to reduce dropout rates, increase graduation rates and even increase the likelihood of graduates going on to further their education after high school.*
Plus, the demand for healthcare continues to rise. Getting students career-ready earlier can help students gain employment upon graduation. And if they want to further their education, that job not only can help support their tuition, but can also give them real-world healthcare experience to help them on their career journey.
There's no arguing that CTE works, and that health science in high schools is needed. But what makes a health science program successful?

When the Alabama Department of Education set out to improve their CTE programming, they started with research, gaining insights from business and industry to determine what employers are looking for or lacking in potential candidates.
"We want to make sure that students who exit secondary career tech programs are actually prepared with skills that are going to help them get employed," says Collie Wells, Interim Deputy State Superintendent of Education, Career and Technical Education/Workforce Development Division. "We started having lots of conversations with business and industry throughout the state to find out, 'What do you really need from potential employees? What are you missing? What are they lacking?'"

text: Linda Mah / Wednesday, August 22, 2018 / Categories: Communications 2018 Graduates: Judith Castaneda Going From Student to Teacher Education matters. That's what Judith Castaneda believes as a student and what she's planning to preach as a future teacher. "Education is the key to success," she said. "Students have to value their educations more. With our education we have everything we need to succeed in life." Castaneda is a 2018 graduate of Loy Norrix High School. She was named Outstsanding Senior in the Education For Employment's (EFE) Teacher Academy. EFE is a program of the Kalamazoo Regional Educational Service Agency that provides students with hands-on experience in various careers. Castaneda and her twin, Jenny, plan to enroll in Kellogg Community College this fall to earn associate's degrees in early childhood development and to then earn bachelor's degrees in education from Western Michigan University. As a senior, she participated in the KRESA program to explore her interest in teaching and found that she loved it. She worked at El Sol Elementary School, which happened to have been her first elementary as a child. "It has been the greatest experience I've ever had," she said. "These children are my motivation. When I'm down or sad, they are my reason to be. They make me happy. They make me forget about the little things and make me value the love and smiles. I love to see how they learn on their own and it makes me want to help them." She enjoyed working at El Sol for numerous reasons. Her little brother Willie was in third grade at the school, she had the chance to work with teachers who influenced her as a child, and she was able to use her dual language skills. She appreciated El Sol's focus on bilingual education — English and Spanish. Her own family, with mom and dad Aurora and Nicolas, twin sister and little brother — is bilingual. She was excited to help children learn in both languages. "There's a bene t to having two languages," Castaneda said. "You're able to express yourself in two languages. It's something to take advantage of." First-grade teacher Danielle Jn Baptiste served as Castaneda's teacher mentor at El Sol was impressed with Castaneda's enthusiasm for the classroom. "Judy is a driven young woman who is an exemplary EFE student," she said. "Her natural talents to be an educator shone through as she worked with small groups of students, redirected students, and planned lessons and activities for them, as well. I was extremely impressed with her professionalism." Castaneda's inspiration to pursue education comes not just from her love of children but from the many positive experiences she's had as a student. "I love the way my teachers teach, the way when I need help they're there for me, to support me, to explain things to me," she said. "They won't let me struggle by myself. They'll keep teaching until you get it. They won't just leave and move on." She has trouble citing the most influential teacher in her life, but among the standouts at Loy Norrix have been Lisa Jensen, Jameeka Johnson, Randy Rowe, and Sally Wagenaar. "I have like 10 favorites," she said. "They made me realize I have to love the education I have." Two other people have inspired her as well: her parents. "They've been the biggest supporters for me and my sister. I feel this now more than ever as we're finishing high school. I know they won't always be there with me, but they'll always be in my heart. They've been the biggest blessing that God could have given me, and I want to make them proud." Cutline: Judy Castaneda poses next to the mural in El Sol Elementary and points to a picture of herself that she painted when she was a third grader at the school.

As the Order of the Golden Shillelagh celebrates its 30th anniversary, it's tempting to relive the past and reminisce about how individuals "picked up the shillelagh" to provide financial support for the university. After all, that group of concerned individuals, like a grain of sand to an oyster, supplied the foundation for what became a lustrous organization.
The numbers almost speak for themselves. Since its founding in 1977, members of this generous group have:
- Funded $42.5 million in scholarships
- Donated $20.1 million for program support
- Contributed $23.1 million to new building construction and renovation
- Funded more than $10.6 million for endowed professorships and chairs
- Donated more than $12.7 million to unrestricted accounts to be used as needed.
OGS members make a minimum commitment of $10,000 over five years to the university or the MSM-UMR Alumni Association. These numbers total more than $109 million in cash and pledges over the last 30 years, including more than $13 million in deferred pledges.
That's impressive. But behind these figures are more timeless stories – about leadership, loyalty and sacrifice. Natural pearls, the most elegant and sought-after kind, begin with a disturbance, take years to mature, and maintain their strength and magnificence for centuries. Likewise, OGS was formed after alumni and friends recognized that – without their help – the university would struggle to maintain the high quality of education that has been associated with the school since its beginnings in the 1870s.
As the university embarks on another journey, under a new name, it will again rely on others to come together and add their layer, making the organization stronger and even more precious.

Podiatrist in Fort Belvoir and Newington, Virginia
The communities of Fort Belvoir and Newington are home to many members of the military, their families, retirees and civilians alike, many of whom love the outdoors. Luckily, there are quite a few nature preserves on and around the area that are quite popular to explore. The Accotink Bay Wildlife Refuge, in particular, is a distinct treasure with eight miles of hiking trails, enjoyed by both residents and tourists alike. The mix of small shops and businesses in the community of Newington are also worth a quick stroll around the area. But those who suffer from limited mobility due to problems in their feet or ankles may find themselves unable to participate.

Lastly, I've always felt that it was a bit … Continue reading

Since the Department of the Environment introduced Planning Policy Guidance Note 16 (PPG16, 1990) the protection of archaeological remains has been incorporated into the planning system. As a result, planning conditions may be attached to proposed developments were the presence of significant archaeological remains is suspected or demonstrated. In this event the services of an archaeological contractor, like Benchmark Archaeology, are required.
We have the expertise to carry out all forms of archaeological excavationof any period and in any environment, from inception to production of a comprehensive report. For instance, we can provide archaeological monitoring for smaller developments requiring a Watching-Brief; perform limited excavations involving trial-trenching and test-pitting/sieving exercises for Evaluations, and carry out major open area Excavations for larger developments. We also undertake archaeological investigations in Historic Gardens and environs.
We specialise in working on logistically
complex and sensitive projects where especially close co-operation with
contractors, consultants, curators and the public is required. Benchmark
Archaeology understands the pressures facing the developer and we aim
to minimise any delays caused by archaeological constraints, whilst
ensuring the highest professional standards in archaeology.
All projects are carried out in accordance with PPG 16 (DOE, 1990) and the guidelines and recommendations issued by The Institute of Field Archaeologists and English Heritage.
