Endlich: EU will Tatoos regulieren
Brussels intends to make its mark on the world of tattoos. If you're getting a tattoo, you probably care most about the quality of the design — and how much it will hurt. But the European Commission is also concerned about the potential health impacts of becoming a human canvas. At present there are no EU-wide standards on what a tattoo artist can inject into the skin. Colorants must satisfy strict safety regulations if they are used in cosmetics or textiles — but there are no such official barriers if used in a tattoo parlour. (weiter hier)

Years before meeting Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell met Lizzy, a little girl with a steadfast belief in the power of pixie dust and the magic land of fairies.During the fairies' summer visit to the flowering meadows of England, two very different worlds unite for the first time and Tink develops a special bond with a curious child in need of a friend. As her fellow fairies launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of all fairy kind in jeopardy. Join us as we work together to create the magical world of the fairies of Pixie Hollow and then perform this high flying tale for parents and friends on the final day of class.

2015 was a breakout year for online reporting in New Zealand. And as the champion of New Zealand's entertainment content, including television, music, digital, and radio productions, NZ On Air knew they needed to be at the front of the trend.
Working with an external design agency, we were instrumental in the design, strategy and creation of their first-ever online annual report. Like other government agencies, they also needed to ensure that the statutory printed document to be tabled in Parliament would be synchronised with — indeed, generated from — the material data that would appear online. Using our new online-to-print plugin, we were able to integrate the two delivery platforms to present the report beautifully in both forms.

Diana Hennessey became a mom on Sept. 4, 2016, when her daughter, Dahlia, was born. She was determined to breastfeed, but didn't know the challenges she would face.
With help from the breastfeeding support group at Sharp Chula Vista and the "Sisterhood of the Milky Mamas" — as she calls her support system of friends, family and community resources — Diana did what she set out to do for her daughter.
Here, in her own words, Diana shares her breastfeeding struggles and triumphs.
Baby Dahlia visits the Sharp Mary Birch nursing lounge at Petco Park.
As a first-time mom, I prepared myself as much as I could. Classes, workshops, books, blogs, Facebook groups — you name it, I studied it. When I found out I was pregnant, I was terrified. I'm scared of pain, so you can imagine what the thought of childbirth did to me. Nevertheless, I was determined to give my baby the best start in life. I took a course about natural childbirth and realized I wanted to breastfeed — no, I needed to breastfeed. I decided there would be no other choice (I can be stubborn). I took classes offered throughout San Diego, one of them at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center.
Flash forward to Sept. 4, the day my Dahlia was born (a few hours after her baby shower, but that's another story). Her first latch was perfect. "Look at her! She's a pro!" my nurses said.
Discharge day came and we went home. The struggle began a couple days later when she had her first pediatrician appointment. She had lost a lot of weight and had slight jaundice. The doctor put her on formula until "my milk came in." My milk came in a few days later, and that's when the real struggle began. My baby had gotten used to the bottle and was refusing my breast. She would work herself up so much that she didn't want to eat. I was struggling, too. I would cry with her — many times all day (those darn baby blues) — and the thought of quitting breastfeeding crossed my mind many times.
At two weeks postpartum, I reached out to La Leche League. They sent someone to my house to talk with me and give me resources. I pulled out the booklet of resources given to me at the hospital and at my baby's first checkup. There I saw the breastfeeding support group offered at Sharp Chula Vista. I was terrified and not ready to leave my house. Still, I knew I needed help.
The La Leche League support leader left my house that day having convinced me to attend a support group meeting; I was there the next day. Thank goodness my husband still had a few days before going back to work as he drove us there and waited. Bless his heart; he says he didn't know how to help, but he did just that by taking me. I got there late, but the lactation educators were so sweet. Kika (Sandoval) greeted me and assured me it was OK when I walked in late. Marci (Escobar) was there as well. They helped me settle in. After an initial assessment, they helped me get Dahlia latched.
That first meeting gave me a feeling like a ton of bricks had been lifted off my shoulders. My sister drove me to the next few meetings because I was afraid of driving with my newborn. Eventually, I drove myself; by then, I was attending the support group every day it was offered — three days a week. Day by day, week by week, nothing but progress. Dahlia was improving her latch, gaining weight and slowly weaning off formula.
The lactation educators are heaven-sent — so patient and caring. They gave me my confidence back, cheering for me and celebrating every time my baby gained a few ounces. I made friends with a few moms, all of whom were also first-time moms. We shared our birthing stories and talked about our lack of sleep, the struggle to latch, how we always felt hungry and how much we disliked pumping. We asked each other questions and laughed about missing being able to enjoy a beer. We bonded over how we loved having our babies, but missed our pregnant bellies. It was our own "Sisterhood of the Milky Mamas." We all looked forward to seeing each other. It's what kept us sane and was sometimes our only adult interaction of the day. Life with a newborn had become a little less challenging, and we were finally out and about without fear, and so our weekly trips to our "boobie class," as I referred to it, were over.
I am forever grateful for resources like these being readily available to all mothers, first-time or not. My breastfeeding journey is still successful at almost 11 months because of it, and because of them.
Sharp offers free breastfeeding support groups at Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center, Sharp Grossmont Hospital and Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns. Call 1-800-82-SHARP (1-800-827-4277) or visit sharp.com to learn more.

Set in 10 acres of headland, with sensational views of the North Cornish coast, sits one of Newquay's best kept secrets.
Just a short stroll to the centre of Newquay, and minutes from some of the UK's finest surf beaches, our iconic AA four star hotel blends classic glamour with modern luxury and a warmhearted welcome.
Packed with gorgeous original features (think marbled entrance, sweeping staircase and chandeliers) the hotel itself is just as stunning as the views. And every single room has a sea view, with the sound of crashing waves below to lull you to sleep.
Lounge by our sun-trap pool, dine at our award winning AA Rosette restaurant and then watch the sun go down over the Atlantic ocean with a cold glass of champagne on our fabulous terrace.
With all this and more, the Atlantic Hotel is the perfect choice for a decadent romantic getaway, storm watching weekend or seriously stunning wedding.
Treat yourself to a stay and let us transport you back to a time when leisure, luxury and elegance were everything
North Cornwall
Embark on clifftop wanderings along the South West Coast Path to discover ancient myths and legends; King Arthur at Tintagel Castle, or the giant at the Bedruthan Steps. Surfers flock here to ride the famous swell that carved the dramatic coastline, and Bude and Newquay are havens for the sport. From sandy bays and beaches to the seafood delights of Padstow or thrills of Camel Creek Adventure Park, North Cornwall is brimming with things to do; trails to trek, cream teas to gobble, and adventure to be had.
West Cornwall
Let the history, romance and raw beauty of West Cornwall whisk you through time, into rocky coves and along sweeping sands to Land's End where the UK slips into the Atlantic. Discover an oasis of flora owed to the rare geology of the Lizard peninsula. You can kayak around Godrevy Island, wander the galleries of St Ives, catch a performance at the open-air Minack Theatre, and still make it to Marazion for dinner: St Michael's Mount makes the ultimate backdrop.
South Cornwall
Tucked away from the swell of the Atlantic pretty fishing harbours sleep, and lush carpets of greenery roll up to craggy cliffs. Discover the fishing and smuggling history in Kingsand and Cawsand, or walk the South West Coast Path from Fowey to the tiny tidal beach at Readymoney Cove. Sample local ales in St Austell before visiting Charlestown's tall ships, the enchantments of the Eden Project, or The Lost Gardens of Heligan. From vibrant towns to secret beaches and exhilarating days out, the south has it all.

Performance Expectations (in public management)
Performance expectations are predictions of what is hoped for in the future and are understood to be met most of the time.
(Mayne 2002, 42-44)
The following is drawn from J. Mayne's "Reporting on Outcomes: Setting Performance Expectations and Telling Performance Stories" in the Canadian Journal of Program Evaluation:
"There are two concepts of performance expectations. More traditionally, expectations are seen as predictions (targets) of what is hoped for in the future given the resources available, with the understanding that they will be met most of the time. Alternatively, expectations can be seen as challenges to rise to. These are often referred to as stretch targets, set to provide clear direction on where the program is striving to be in the future. Stretch targets are set at a high enough level that they cannot easily be met with existing resources, and thus it is understood that they often will not be met. Their purpose is to set results to be strived for rather than results to be met with reasonable certainty. There is an expectation that in stretching, innovation will be encouraged and opportunities to learn and improve will be sought.
Performance expectations set as predictions (targets) can play a positive role, but they also have a number of shortcomings:
Performance reporting can be as much a report on how good a prediction was as on how well a program is performing.
Readers of a performance report, and many staff, still do not really know what is being reported: Are these stretch targets or safe predictions? Are they supposed to be easily met?
Uncertainty about achieving outcomes, given the various factors not under the program's control, can result in setting targets only or mainly for outputs.
Predictive targets are set with a view to reporting zero variance. This is not really reporting on how well the program is performing; the question remains - could the program have done better? It is also less likely to encourage innovation and learning; a manager may wonder - since the target has been met, why try harder?
The predictor model of setting expectations probably works better for output-based reporting than outcome-based reporting, since considerably more certainty can be established about the levels and quality of outputs produced. It could be argued that reporting on outcomes as part of performance reporting ought to mean using expectations as challenges - that is, stretch targets. This type of expectation reflects the learning model underlying the concept of managing for results. One of the many advantages of using stretch targets as expectations is the recognition upfront that many of these expectations will probably not be met, but that much learning will have taken place. This learning should be reported as achieved performance.
In between predictive and stretch targets might be predictive targets that are increased each year and the planned increases in levels that are set out beforehand publicly, so as to stretch an organisation. Also in between would be targets that are quite challenging but, with enough effort, can be met. Left on their own, most organisations would probably opt for the safer predictive targets to avoid having to explain why (stretch) targets have not been met. Challenging targets - as in the case of many of the Public Service Agreement targets in the U.K. (HM Treasury, 2002) - are usually set as the result of pressure on departments from a central budget office. The Auditor General (2000a) in Canada has pointed to the limited role played by the Treasury Board in requiring departments to set clear and concrete, much less challenging, targets."

A positive change for members who work part-time or on contract will take effect on January 1, 2019.
DBplus is the new way members who work part-time or on contract will build their valuable defined benefit pension. It offers the valuable features members want, such as predictable lifetime income in retirement, inflation protection, survivor benefits and allows for early retirement.
All CAAT Pension Plan members who work part-time or on contract will automatically start earning their future pension with DBplus, effective January 1, 2019. DBplus is designed with a focus on maximizing the lifetime pension that members who work part-time and on contract collect in retirement. Benefits earned before January 1, 2019 will remain under the current Plan design.
DBplus provides similar lifetime benefit value for contributions to the current Plan design. With DBplus, the average member can expect over a typical career $8 in lifetime pension payments to them and their eligible surviving spouse for every $1 they contributed.
Who does DBplus apply to?
Members who work part-time or on contract (referred to as "other than regular full-time" or "OTRFT") will automatically start earning DBplus benefits, effective January 1, 2019.
A member is OTRFT if they are an employee of a participating employer, but do not hold a regular full-time position. Generally, that is someone who is employed on a part-time basis, or employed on a contract with an end date. Note that while on a contract, you may work full-time hours, but would be considered an OTRFT member.
When you retire, your total pension will be a combination of the pension you earned in the current Plan design plus the pension you earned in DBplus, plus Average Industrial Wage (AIW) enhancements. In addition, for every year you contribute to DBplus, you earn an additional year towards your early unreduced eligibility in the current Plan design. Learn more about the features of DBplus.
Do I need to do anything?
If DBplus applies to you, you'll receive a letter from the CAAT Plan before the end of the year. It will provide you with information about the transition to DBplus, and the pension benefits you'll earn under this new design. Be sure to visit the new DBplus Estimator, so you can estimate your combined pension from the current Plan design, and DBplus, at any retirement date you choose.
As of January 1, 2019, employees who work part-time or on contract who haven't joined the CAAT Plan still have the option to join DBplus at any time during their employment.
Join us for a webinar on October 10, 2018, at 12 pm.
Register here to learn about the features of DBplus in an hour-long online information session. It is a great way to have your questions answered by a CAAT pension expert.
Learn more on our website!
Learn more about DBplus. Watch the videos and estimate your pension with the DBplus Estimator.
Are you full-time? If so, you will continue to earn a pension under the current design.
Full-time employees joined under the current Plan design when hired. If your employment switches to OTRFT, you will begin earning pension benefits in DBplus. The Pension you earned in the current Plan design will continue to increase alongside your DBplus pension for as long as you are a contributing member.
DBplus is the result of amendments to the CAAT Plan text that were filed with the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) – you can see the text here. The CAAT Plan is registered with FSCO under Registration No. 0589895. If you have any comments on the amendments to the CAAT Plan, you can submit them to the CAAT Plan at 250 Yonge Street, Suite 2900, P.O. Box 40, Toronto ON M5B 2L7 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com. Or you may submit your comments to Ontario Superintendent of Financial Services at 5160 Yonge Street, P.O. Box 85, Toronto, Ontario, M2N 6L9 (please note the CAAT Plan name and registration number in any correspondence with the Superintendent).

Five world titles, two King Of The Air titles and a trophy cabinet that's got more bling than Jay-Z, Aaron Hadlow is one of the most accomplished kitesurfers on the planet.
His board reflects everything he needs to compete at the very top level of the sport. It's incredibly stiff for maximum pop and thanks to a new top mould and stringer has almost no reverse flex for the ultimate in controlled landings.
The Slick Base is perfect for hitting obstacles, and the deep channels mean the board performs impeccably without any fins.
For 2018 the board has a new bottom shape with wider channels for softer landings, and the tips have been softened to help absorb chop.
The Hadlow TS is a competition winning board built for the multiple world champion that is also available to you; the sky is now the only limit!

Most of us are experts on waiting for a better day or state of mind to start a healthy habit, make a difficult decision, or have a difficult conversation. The truth is, that better moment or feeling isn't coming. The only moment you are guaranteed is the present one, and there is nothing like the present to take that next step. As that very wise Chinese proverb says, the best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, but the second best time is today. Go ahead, plant your own tree today, now. There is no better moment.
You probably have a list of things you really want to change about your life and yourself, ideally all at once. However, long-lasting change is sure to stick when attempted one step and one day at a time, so don't start everything at once or you will soon become overwhelmed and quit.
When attempting change there is one aspect of our lives that we often overlook, a side to our lives that we should think about every day for a better perspective and a healthier state of mind. That aspect is gratitude. Do you ever deliberately think about all the good that surrounds you? In our world full of distractors and perfect images it's easy to become fixated on our faults, flaws, and missing material possessions.
Regardless of what you'd like to be different in your life there are people, memories, circumstances, and places to be appreciated for all of the good things they contribute to your life. Especially when life brings difficult challenges that take you down dark paths with no light in sight, it's the little things that make it worth getting out of bed for. Take a little time out of your day to be grateful for all the things you appreciate in your life, be they small or large.
One of the most meaningful ways to feel appreciative of your life is to write a list of things you're grateful for. Really reflecting on the good parts of your life will make for a more positive outlook on all areas of your life.
When you're struggling with productivity or procrastination you'll be more likely to start your day off right if you end the night before with a plan for the next day, as many successful people do. This is also a great way to include a daily gratitude practice where you jot down a sentence or two about what went well in your day or what you're most grateful for.
What are you passionate about? Connect with something that gives you a sense that you're a part of something larger than yourself. For some this may be volunteering, for others a hobby, or even a sport. Open yourself to new possibilities and new people.
There are many things in your life that you do not have control of. Your thoughts are not one of them. When you're in the middle of berating yourself take a deep breath, stop, and find a slightly more positive thought. Talk yourself down from the proverbial edge. Is this stressful thing going to matter in five years, in one year? Would you allow a friend to talk to you this way? When you're aware of your thoughts you can learn to better react to stressful situations.
Sure, you've heard this a million times before, but exercise is not just good for your life expectancy, immune system, and energy levels, it is just as important for your mindset and mental strength. When your body moves you can feel its strength, its amazing capabilities, and you can better appreciate all it has done for you and the life it has allowed you to live. Exercise doesn't automatically equal sweat – you can easily start a daily guided yoga session at home (see YouTube), which is a wonderful way to really stretch and tone without the need for equipment, space, or sweat.
Making better decisions and choosing a better life can start in the present moment. Start where you are no matter where you are. Start now.

And when you need a physical, wearable reminder that you're loved and in control and taking your life in a more positive direction, choose one of our stunning, sentimental necklaces or rings.

Kris Gray
Passionate l Personable l Negotiator
Kris's passion, market knowledge and dedication combined with the support of the Wei Sen Chow team ensures his clients have the premium experience.
His clients are rewarded with his uncanny ability to consistently negotiate premium results whether its on the open market or in a very discreet manner through his client relations network.
A high percentage of Kris's business is referral clients who he is in constant contact with, He is very humbled by referrals and he operates on his father's old style values that people, trust and relationships come first.
"It has been a pleasure working with Kris and the Wei Sen Chow Team. They ran a very professional and slick operation that was seamless. All key players in their team had clearly defined roles and communication was excellent. We followed all the advise given to present our house and because of this, all feedback from other agents and prospective buyers was very positive. They are all lovely people who work very hard behind the scenes for their clients. We placed a lot of trust in Kris and the team and were thrilled with the results of our sale. We have no hesitation in recommending them to other people and would definitely work with their team again in the future."
- Grant & Sarah Shearer
"Kris and the Wei Sen Chow team came highly recommended to us from family, yet still managed to exceed our expectations with their enthusiasm, commitment, professionalism and results. We had really tight timeframes that we needed to meet with selling our home and the team took it all in their stride and made things happen. Kris and the team eased so much of the stress and worry that naturally comes with selling a home. We didn't feel like just a number and Kris was genuinely invested in getting to know us. Communication was excellent - Kris was always approachable and available and we felt like we were the only clients Kris was working for. He never missed a phone call and whenever we'd send him a text, he would ring back within seconds, regardless of the time of day. We couldn't be happier with our experience and will definitely be looking to Kris and the team again for future property sales."
- Jess & Hamish Forsman
"Selling your house can be a very stressful experience. In my case, this was not only my first home and biggest asset but also I needed to sell it while living in Switzerland. Well in advance I researched agents in Hamilton long and hard and soon became apparent that the Weisen Chow team was the best at achieving high sale prices. Then looking through reviews I decided it was the team I wanted for me. I was lucky I could travel briefly to NZ and have a couple of meetings in person with Kris before listing. My concerns about my house not being "expensive enough" for their portfolio or how things will work out once we were 12 hours apart completely ease after our meetings. I am an OCD type of person so it is quite difficult to please me. However, I was very happy and relaxed throughout the entire period. Louise (so helpful!) was always at the end of the line to organise things for me and Kris kept me updated on the whole process; even when it meant calling very late or very early to bridge the time gap! I can only recommend the team if you are considering to sell your home, it will sell well, quickly and with no stress. What more can you ask for!"
- Mercedes Santos
"I'd like to take some time to endorse Kris and the Team at Lugtons when you are thinking about selling your most important asset. Their entire approach was professional, yet tailored towards Steph and I as people. Kris ensured that we understood what was happening every step of the way, and took the time to make sure we were happy with any decisions. He communicated exceptionally well and understands what it means to represent a client and their own identity as a Real Estate person. Louise was also amazing in the way in which she related to us and ensured that everything ran smoothly. What really makes their approach work, is that they truly work for the client. I have dealt with many Real Estate agents over the years, but have found their approach to be the most successful and stress free one. I have no hesitation in recommending their services to those deciding upon how and who to market their property, as the result with these guys is more likely to be a successful one."
- Paul & Stephanie Marshall
"Kris and his team made the process of selling easy and straightforward for us, which as first time sellers was very important. He took the time to meet with us face to face, driving over to Tauranga to meet, where he then walked us through the process step by step. It was clear to see Kris's passion and knowledge of the process, he gave us a confidence that he would sell our house. His service and knowledge was streets ahead of the other agents we spoke to. Kris was very personal with his approach, always asking after the little one and taking a genuine interest into who we are. Always maintaining contact Kris, was sometimes the first and last person we spoke to in the day. We were treated as if we were Kris's only client and this was reassuring as we always knew where we were in the process. We would highly recommend working with Kris and we would 100% work with him again. He is a genuine and trustworthy Agent and we really appreciate his hard work."
- Darren & Tiffany
"Thank you so much for the manner in which you completed the process of selling our investment. At all times you were focused, professional and came through over, and above, all our expectations. Timelines were adhered to, promised updates were delivered - you are part of a well oiled machine. To have our investment have one open home with six offers produced, is testament to your marketing, and salesmanship, on all levels. Kris, we enjoyed getting to know you, loved your enthusiasm, your commitment, and your sense of humour. We have had many comments from folk who expressed surprise that the Sold sign had gone up so quickly and we have suggested anyone wanting to sell, or buy, a property contact you."
- Alan & Jan Duggan
"From our very first contact with Kris, Wei Sen and the team, we were confident that we had chosen the best team to get us the best result for the sale of our home. Their systems were fantastic and communication was outstanding, with a unique sales strategy that achieved a result better than we could've imagined. But above all else, what we loved the most is their genuine and honest approach, the way they made an effort to really get to know us as a family, and not just another listing. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kris, Wei Sen and the team to anyone we know listing a property. (and they'll be good to you if you bribe them with avocados, lol)."
- Shane & Briar Virtue
""What we loved the most is their genuine and honest approach, the way they made an effort to really get to know us as a family, and not just another listing."

Occupational skin diseases and conditions, like occupational eczema, have the same symptoms, treatment and prognosis as the same diseases acquired in other ways, but what differentiates them is the fact that they are acquired at work. Certain jobs include exposure to substances and agents that may cause the onset of a dermatological condition, and diagnosing them may require some detective work from both the doctor and the patient. Once the cause is determined, the patient is advised to avoid it and the adequate medication is prescribed by the doctor.
The most frequent occupational eczema and eczema-like conditions are irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, contact urticaria, skin infections, acne and prickly heat.
Irritant contact dermatitis
In irritant contact dermatitis, the symptoms can vary from mild, like red, chapped skin, to moderately severe and severe, like blisters, cracks, lesions, severe itch, and pain. The onset of the condition is caused by contact with irritants at the workplace, and aggravated by environmental factors like hat, humidity, friction and others.
The most common on-the-job irritants include acids, glues and adhesives, bacteria, fungi, aromatic chemicals and their salts, metals, glass fibers, oils, greases, sawdust, plants, solvents, soaps, tar and asphalt. Long periods of exposure can cause eczema, but in people who are genetically predisposed to exaggerated response to such irritants the reaction may be instant.
Allergic contact dermatitis
This skin condition is similar to irritant contact dermatitis, but the substances and agents that act as triggers are allergens and not irritants. Some chemicals seem to act as allergens more often than others. Those usually belong to a group called heptens, although there are others, considered hepten-like, for example nickel, that can trigger an allergic reaction.
The reaction can be local or systemic. Locally, it usually involves face, neck, ears, hands and feet. Triggers or allergens can be cosmetic products, jewelry, latex and rubber products, dyes in clothing, shoe liners, adhesives in shoes, and many more.
In order to treat this type of occupational eczema, it is necessary to identify and substitute the allergen. The treatment may consist in topical corticosteroids, emollients, oral antihistamines and ultraviolet radiation.
Contact urticaria
Contact urticaria involves hives, and it can be allergic, non-allergic, combined, and combined eczematous and urticarial. Hives, which are red and raised itchy lesions, occur in the middle layer of the skin after coming in contact with certain substances at the workplace. Contact urticaria should be evaluated by a doctor who will determine what is causing it and how to treat it.
Other skin problems that include eczema or are similar to eczema, like skin infections, acne, prickly heat and frictional dermatitis are also common in certain lines of work. For example, people who wear hard hats, helmets and gear straps may suffer from acne, just like actors who wear a lot of makeup. Skin infections are seen in agriculture, veterinary medicine and food processing. Frictional dermatitis is common in people who handle tools, fabrics and paper, and so on.

We eat chinese buffet as often as we can afford it. I love checking off the number of different species in my belly when we are done. Then, the cookies.
Ten or twelve years ago, we started adding the words "in bed" at the end of every fortune. It is really fun to play in large groups after a good meal. Laughter helps the digestion. Today I play with you. Let me share the last thirteen slips of paper we pulled from our fortune cookies. In bed.
1. "The stars appear every night." … in bed.
2. "Consider gain and loss, but never be greedy." … in bed.
3. "This is a good time to consider formally helping others." … in bed.
4. "You'll have all sorts of chances to make a happy encounter." … in bed.
5. "You can depend on the trust of the collective." … in bed.
6. "Happier days are definitely ahead for you, struggle has ended." … in bed.
7. "Rely on your own good judgement to lead you to success." … in bed.
8. "Sincerity is the finest point of communication." … in bed.
9. "Set high goals." … in bed.
10. "Take the initiative and others will support you." … in bed.
11. "The last thing you need sharpened is your tongue." … in bed.
12. "Aspire to be great, then give everything you have." … in bed.
13. "Grasp the opportunities that are coming your way." … in bed.
So that's what happens when the crumbs hit the sheets in our house. You can grab a fortune online right now by clicking around in here, and then you need to make your own list of recent prophecies and link it to: www.thursdaythirteen.com … in bed.

Researchers have pinpointed a specific place in the human genome that raises the risk of erectile dysfunction.
The breakthrough marks a significant advancement in the understanding of genetics—and another win for men.
The inability to get it up is a common condition among middle- and older-aged penis owners; the "disease" is linked to various causes, including neurological, hormonal, and vascular factors.
Genetics are also suspected in about one-third of impotence cases, according to managed care consortium Kaiser Permanente, which pointed out that there is no known association with any specific genome locations.
Until now.
A new study, published this week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that variations in a specific genetic locus near the SIM1 gene are significantly associated with an increased risk of erectile dysfunction.
"Identifying this SIM1 locus as a risk factor for erectile dysfunction is a big deal because it provides the long sought-after proof that there is a genetic component to the disease," study lead author Eric Jorgenson, a research scientist at Kaiser Permanente Northern California's Division of Research, said in a statement.
The team conducted a genome-wide association study using two groups:
The first consisted of 36,648 men from the Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging; the GERA cohort included male members of Kaiser Permanente who had a clinical diagnosis of ED and had used drugs other other treatments.
The second comprised 222,358 men from the UK Biobank—a long-term biorepository study investigating contributions of genetic predisposition and environmental exposure to the development of disease.
Final results pointed to variations in the SIM1 locus associated with a 26 percent increased risk, independent of known causes.
"Identifying the first genetic risk factor for erectile dysfunction is an exciting discovery because it opens the door for investigations into new, genetic-based therapies," Jorgenson said.
"The different bits of evidence that we present in this study fit together like puzzle pieces to create a picture of how the SIM1 locus can control erectile function," he added.
Often ascribed to cardiovascular diseases and diabetes, neurological problems, hormonal insufficiencies, and drug side effects, impotence can be hard to study because of the differences in how patients report their symptoms (if they do at all).
But that may soon change.
"This study points to a new research direction for erectile dysfunction that could help us identify other key genetic variants that trigger the disease and lead to investigations to better understand the precise mechanisms by which they operate," according to Hunter Wessells, chair of urology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, co-author, and one of the study's principal investigators.
The report calls for development of new treatments for the nearly 50 percent of men who don't respond to pharmaceutical treatments.
"Hopefully, this will translate into better treatments and, importantly, prevention approaches for the men and their partners who often suffer silently with this condition," Wessells added.
