It's great to be able to top up your day job earnings by undertaking other work during the evenings or at weekends. But adding to your usual 9-5 schedule means you're in danger of taking on too much. This increases the likelihood of stress, which will impact on your productivity.
For this reason, it's best to put in place steps to ensure you can work at your full potential both in your day job and self-employed role. We explore a few that can be easily implemented here.
Take time off
If you never turn off from work, your energy levels don't have the opportunity to regenerate. Both your body and mind will feel the strain, and you'll be unable to work at your best.
Everyone needs a little downtime – allotted periods where you're not working. Frequent breaks are one idea. But if you're also working weekends and during any annual leave booked off in your day job, you're not giving yourself sufficient opportunities to recharge.
Therefore, ensure you take days which are dedicated to enjoyment and other activities. If you can, switch off your emails and phone, so you aren't disturbed or tempted to work.
Organise effectively
You may feel that there's simply no time available to tune out of work, but this might not necessarily be down to the number of tasks you have on your to-do list. Instead, the issue could be disorganisation.
An effective system can make the world of difference. Whilst it will take time to set up, proper organisation will save you more in the long run. Valuable ways you can stay organised include:
- Keeping folders in order so that any file can be easily located.
- Setting up rules and filters in your inbox, guaranteeing you only receive notifications for important messages.
- Taking advantage of time management apps to aid collaboration and reduce procrastination.
- Switching paper for a digital format where possible, making tasks more seamless.
- Prioritising your to-do list – putting achievable deadlines in place will ensure you don't feel overwhelmed.
Outsource tasks
It's not just your work tasks that you'll have to complete when self-employed, there will be administrative duties too. The amount and type will vary depending on the work you're doing, but often include replying to emails, logging expenses, ordering supplies and sending invoices.
If you're also setting up your own business, then there are more to consider. These include marketing in the initial stages to get your brand known, HR-related costs if you have any employees, and dealing with the operational side like insurance.
All these tasks will take up even more of your time, making balancing a day job alongside self-employment more difficult. It's therefore a good idea to outsource these to a specialist. Whilst it will cost you a fee, you'll have peace of mind that it will be completed to the best standard. On top of this, you'll have the energy and focus for other, more pressing business matters.
Should you outsource the Self Assessment tax return?
One task people often consider outsourcing is the Self Assessment, but this isn't a necessity. You can easily do it yourself with tax return software.
This offers a completely streamlined process with minimal effort required from you. Whilst you will need to input your data, it works out all the calculations on your behalf. You'll be tax-efficient too, as it provides saving suggestions.
Additionally, GoSimpleTax's Self Assessment software will give you a real-time picture of your financial situation at any time. This means you won't ever need to worry about an unexpectedly huge tax bill. You'll be able to feel more at ease about your accounts, making the management of both your self-employment and day job easier.

Switching to solar power can pay you back in more ways than a lower electric bill. You get environmental benefits, other solar incentives like SRECs, and, oh yeah solar panels increase home value.
Study after study after study comparing sales of solar and non-solar houses show clearly that homes—even near-identical homes in the same community—sell for more with solar. Even if you sell your home before you've had the opportunity to use solar power over a long period, the panels are still a good investment.
The most convincing study of all came in 2015, and surveyed solar homes in six states. The researchers concluded that the average solar home price premium was about $3.78 per watt, which ended up about equal to the cost of the systems after incentives.
And most recently, in April of 2019, Zillow published findings that indicated an average home price increase of nearly $9,300 for homes with solar panels, concurrently pointing out that "80% of home buyers say energy-efficient features are important."
How solar panels increase home value
Why do buyers pay more for homes with solar power? A home solar system is not just a shiny technological doodad on the roof. Solar panels generate energy and save money!
We at Solar Power Rocks used to apply an old rule that solar panels would increase home value by about the value of 20 times the first years' electricity bill savings, but with the data from the 2015 study, it's pretty clear that the better way is to simply use cost of the system minus tax incentives.
The great thing here is this is a dual benefit. or maybe even triple benefit! See, installing solar panels increases you home's resale value, but it also saves you money every month on electricity bills. And on top of that, many states have other solar incentives that earn you even more savings. The final benefit is the federal solar tax credit, which can save you thousands of dollars on taxes this year.
If you're considering solar for your home, get multiple quotes for solar and compare to see how much you can save!
How much could solar panels increase your home's value?
The average American home needs about 21 320-watt solar panels to supply its power needs for one year (that's a 6.72-kW solar system for the folks keeping score at home). To find out your own solar needs, use our solar panel calculator.
That average 6.72-kW system might cost about $22,000 before any incentives. Take the 30% tax credit off that price and you get $15,400. With a nationwide median home price (PDF) of around $315,000, the average homeowner can expect their home to increase in value by about 5% if they install a home solar system.
Of course, your needs may vary, so consult a licensed solar provider near you for more information.
When is it bad for home value to install solar panels?
There are all sorts of offers out there from solar companies. Some of them say "Free solar panels!" or "$0 down solar! Start saving from day 1!"
It's important to be wary of these offers. Solar power is worth the cost in several states, and there are $0-down solar loans that can have you owning the system and paying off the loan in as little as 10 years. But more often, these offers are tied to special agreements called Solar PPAs, or Power-Purchase Agreements. Under a PPA, the solar company owns the panels and you pay them only for the electricity.
PPAs can be an okay way to get solar if you don't have any equity or credit, but the PPA provider usually puts a lien on your home, and that can complicate things when it comes to sale time. A PPA might also turn off a potential buyer, because it's not something they'll own themselves, but instead an obligation (even if it makes financial sense and they will save money, it's still a long-term contract.
Another special kind of solar loan called a PACE loan relies on special property-tax assessments that allow you to repay your loan on your tax bill. While the very existence of PACE loans confirms the fact that your home value increases when you install solar, in practice, PACE loans can be problematic, because they also usually come with a lien against your home, and make selling the home more difficult.
The best way to pay for solar is still good old cash or home equity, which allow to you own your home solar system outright and reap the full benefits when you sell.

Thanks for sharing this! I think it would definitely be beneficial for all home owners to at least think about the idea of investing in solar.
Dave, I am the lead author of the California Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Study and want to inform your readers that relying on a study that was based on sales from many years ago drawn from areas of CA that might be very different from a particular home is inappropriate. We were very clear that the study measured average impacts at that time for our sample. If practitioners want to determine the contributory value of solar of a particular home they would want to base it on it's particular market characteristics at a particular point in time (such as the time… Read more »

FCC Chair Does Not Expect Commission to Be Involved in News Corp. Hacking Inquiry
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said Tuesday that he was
not going to answer hypotheticals about News Corp. TV station license renewals
in the wake of the growing phone hacking scandal involving its British tabloid,
but indicated he did not see the FCC becoming involved in that issue.
"Obviously there is a process going on in the U.K.,"
he said, "and that is a U.K. process and I don't expect we will be
involved with that." That came in a press conference following the FCC's
monthly meeting Tuesday (July 12).
Asked a second time about the impact of the News Corp.
scandal and whether it could call News Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch's fitness
as a licensee into question, Genachowski said it was the same question.
"There is a process going on in the U.K. that is not a process that we
expect to get involved with or interfere with." But he did add that:
"The Mass Media Bureau here will do its job if any issues arise."

You'll find useful information on researching, finding and selecting the right distributor for you in our Export Essentials guide to understanding your channel partner options.
I want to find out about regulations and tariffs for exportRegulations and tariffs should be one of the first things you find out before exporting. They often determine whether a market will be easy or hard for you to export to, or whether you should try to do business there at all.
Understanding regulations in your export destination is a must-do. For an introduction to what you need to think about, see our guide on understanding international compliance requirements. This includes tips on how to research regulations, as well as insights on local regulations, standards, health and safety, and dealing with local bureaucracy.
It's a good idea to take a look at the rest of the international compliance process while you're doing your work on regulations – see more information in our guide to understanding international compliance requirements.
If you're planning to export food or food-related products, you should also check out the food exporting page on the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) website. MPI maintains a list of Overseas Market Access Requirements (OMARs) for New Zealand food products in different export markets – search and identify OMARs for your product online.
Tariffs can make your products more expensive and less attractive to overseas buyers, so you need to know the charges your products will attract before you commit to a new market.
You can get a big head start in finding tariff information by using the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) tariff finder or the World Trade Organisation's tariff download facility. You can search the databases by product name, but they work best when you know the approximate Harmonised System (HS) code for your product. HS codes are used by customs authorities around the world to identify products and apply tariffs. The longer the code is, the more precisely it describes your product. The first six digits of an HS code are usually the same worldwide – after that, there can be up to eight further digits, which often vary from country to country.
New Zealand Customs can help you to find out the first six digits of your HS codes – email firstname.lastname@example.com.
To get a longer and more precise HS code for a particular market, look up and contact the local customs authority online, or talk to a customs broker or freight forwarder who has done business in that market.
I want to find out about packaging and labelling for exportPackaging and labelling requirements can be very different from country to country, so get as much information as you can before making the decision to export.
Depending on where your products will be sold, you might need to use different materials or labels, and include different types of information. In some countries, you might have to translate all your packaging or labels into the local language – in others, applying a sticker with a few key details will do the job.
Make sure that you check out all of the requirements for packaging and labelling before tackling a new market, including anything that's needed during transport or distribution.
You'll find more details on the kind of things you need to think about in our guide to understanding international compliance requirements.
We suggest that you work with a customs broker or freight forwarder, or get advice from a lawyer in-market, to understand all the requirements for your product and the place where it's headed. The Customs Broker and Freight Forwarder Federation (CBAFF) has a list of customs brokers and freight forwarders within New Zealand.

I wrote earlier this year about some injuries sustained in the Spencer household and our plans to manage them conservatively, at least without immediate surgery. The original piece is here: Doubling Down on Non-surgical Conservative Care.
In a short period of time last winter, Kate had sustained a knee injury and I had a mallet thumb injury (extensor pollicis longus rupture). If we had sought formal medical consultation, surgery most certainly would have been recommended for each. In fact, for my thumb injury, I did casually consult an Orthopedic surgeon who did recommend surgery. I work closely with and respect this surgeon greatly. He did a sort of magic trick – before asking me what happened, he took a look at my x-ray and said, "You can't extend your thumb, can you?" Magic. Impressive. Brilliant Doctor. But, I ignored his advice, "You'll likely do better with surgery than without. If it were my thumb, I'd have the surgery." The contention was that the tediousness and fragility of daily splinting routine sometimes leads to failure with conservative management. The surgical procedure would not repair the torn extensor tendon, but it would better immobilize the thumb so that healing could occur in a more predictable fashion than with bracing. After reviewing the available literature, which was mostly case studies, I decided to take my chances and go with the daily splinting. My expectation was that I would regain much of my thumb DIP extension, but likely come up 10 to 20 degrees short of full extension.
8 weeks of splinting my thumb in hyperextension – untaping, washing, drying, and retaping every morning while passively maintaining extension. After all the splinting, it took another few months of recovery to regain motion and strength. Eventually, my results ended up being better than you're supposed to get following a rupture of the EPL. There's a little lag in extension, but I am able to actively hyperextend the thumb. I've come away with two conclusions about the conservative management of a mallet injury (thumb or finger) through my reading and through my personal experience:
- Early intervention is essential for successful conservative management. My OT co-workers had me splinted within 12 hours of the initial injury – research also indicates that success falls off after only 1 to 2 days if splinting is not initiated.
- Compliance, man. Compliance. A person with a mallet injury has to be fastidious about keeping the thumb extended while changing the bandages and occasionally cleaning the thumb. The rule is that if you accidentally bend the thumb, your 8 weeks of splinting starts over – I would contend that each time the thumb is accidentally bent, several degrees of active extension is lost forever. I have myself as a PT, my wife as a PT, and OTs/Certifed Hand Therapists as close friends… I figured I was a good candidate for being able to manufacture 8 weeks of compliance. For our patients, we need to educated them to a great extent on the importance of maintaining extension.
Now, Kate's story is a far more fascinating story that perhaps raises more questions than it gives answers to. While pregnant, she had sustained what I am convinced was an ACL injury. She was super-lax when I tested her Lachman's on the day of the injury – a very, very late endfeel, lots of translation. Because she had her ACL previously reconstructed, I had actually tested her knee before the injury and knew the knee to be very stable. Because she was pregnant at the time of the injury, she made the decision to wait and see what the knee was like after pregnancy and after the hormones that goes along with pregnancy had passed. After she had the baby, she got an MRI to see what might be going on in her knee since it was feeling much better, but not perfect. The MRI showed some lateral meniscus damage and an ACL that existed but didn't appear robust. The same Ortho that I saw for my thumb took a casual look at her MRI and commented that the posterior lateral corner damage may be a sign that "an anterior subluxing event may have occurred," again, great info discerned from what could be interpreted as a fairly benign MRI. Anyways, by this point, the knee was testing more stable and never, ever giving Kate a feeling of giving out. The decision was made to continue with strengthening and conservative management. Over time, the knee felt well on a day-to-day basis. We hiked a fair amount this summer and Kate even got one late-November ski day in without any issue. Her knee was feeling pretty good… until she knelt down two weeks ago. Her knee swelled up and became an immediate problem. She continued to not have any feeling that her knee was giving out, but now it was stiff, swollen, and sore. After pushing through a race 3,000 ft up Aspen Mountain on the injured knee and with the end of the deductible year fast-approaching, Kate and Tom Pevny, an Orthopedist at Aspen Valley Hospital where we work, decided that scoping the meniscus and laying some eyes on the actual condition of the ACL seemed like a prudent plan. Though Kate still had some reservations going into the surgery about whether she really needed it, the surgery was justified when Dr. Pevny let her know that he had taken out a sizeable bucket-handle tear from the lateral meniscus. Had she left it alone, it certainly would have continued to give her troubles.
Now for the million dollar question: What about the ACL? Dr. Pevny says it looks good. The stability is that "of a typical reconstructed ACL". Whenever Dr. Pevny does talks on the ACL, he emphasizes techniques that mimic replication of the anatomical footprint of the ACL and the ability of a well-performed reconstruction to stabilize the knee in various positions – this point is emphasized in his research papers as well. I get the impression that he believes Kate's previous reconstruction to be adequate but not equivalent to what could be done today. I, on the other hand, believe that Kate's reconstruction in '94 was done extremely well, and that the knee was extraordinarily stable with a very tight ACL. I also believe that the ACL was stretched and loosened during her accident last winter. If this is true, that her ACL acquired some laxity, but within an acceptable range that still allows full function, I have a lot of questions that I don't think current research answers. Did the presence of the hormone relaxin during Kate's pregnancy actually allow her enough ligamentous laxity to avoid more a serious injury? Did the ACL remain stretched and then "reduce" more than it normally would have when the pregnancy hormones retreated? Does relaxin even act on a reconstructed ACL like it does on a native ligament? I would think it does. There's a whole string of unanswerable questions that I find just fascinating. If you have any thoughts on my hypothesis and questions, or questions of your own, I'd love you to comment below…
So, in the end: a. My thumb is back to 98% of it's original self through non-surgical care. b. Kate didn't wholly avoid surgery, but her patience in waiting to see what the knee did following injury may have allowed her to avoid a long, protracted ACL recovery in exchange for a much quicker meniscal clean-up.
We, Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists, are THE specialists in conservative management of orthopedic conditions. In circumstances where surgeons and patients are often far too trigger-happy to start cutting, we have to be the balancing voice that educates our clients on the benefits that a little patience and work may have on avoiding surgery which is and should always be the last resort.

There was a time when the BBC was unafraid of taking a risk. There was a time when the BBC was known for producing world-class drama. When exactly that time ended is up for debate but one thing is for sure; the modern BBC would never have the guts to make a show like "Our Friends in the North" now.
This review does contain spoilers but nothing too major.
"Our Friends" is a story of politics; from the small-scale like local council elections all the way to the power and corruption of Westminster. It's also about the knock on effects of politics on a persons everyday life through issues like housing, welfare and crime. It's also a story about personal politics dealing with heavyweight issues like love, forgiveness, grief and faith.
At its heart though is the simple and personal tale of friendship. Four friends are the glue that binds the story together and they are played by a quartet of actors who are now very well-known. At the time, however, they were basically unknown and entrusted with a massive amount of screen-time and acting to do.
The story sees four characters, linked as a circle of friends at first, go about their lives in England and attempt to make sense of the world. All four are different in their own right and more so than the broad brush strokes that first mark them out. Geordie (Daniel Craig) is sensitive, charming and intelligent and a long time friend of both Tosker and Nicky. He is arguably the most vulnerable of the four and his terrible home life causes him to run away to seamy London. Nicky (Chris Eccleston) is brash, opinionated and full of pretension but is an optimist and has genuine beliefs. he also sees his father a burn-out who doesn't understand that the world is at a crossroads. Nicky makes the most attempts to change the world by varying means, politics, journalism and even terrorism. By the end, Nicky has seen his dreams utterly destroyed.
Mary (Gina McKee) is the adult character, being that she has a tough family to deal with (her brother is disabled) but she makes the most of things. She is Nicky's girlfriend at first but it isn't to last as she has plans that don't include saving the world. Mary has to deal with being a young mother in a crumbling tower-block before her husband makes good of himself. Tosker (Mark Strong) gives the most unsympathetic performance as the rather basic Tosker. He is hell-bent on his plan to get rich and despite many different methods, A fruit and veg van, real estate and a restaurant, it seems that Tosker is destined to always just fall short of his aims. And in love he also fails to win over Mary as the two contest a loveless marriage.
Over the series it covers myriad issues, from poverty to organised crime and police corruption. The entire storyline with the criminal world of London is the most exciting but equally gripping is Mary's struggle to raise her son and make something of herself which she does ably. Nicky goes through a rough ride with his parents but ultimately finds a redemption. Geordie however is almost totally destroyed by following the wrong people the wrong way and ends up in prison. For Geordie, the system has no time for him.
Our Friends in the North was, at the time, one of the ambitious shows put together by the BBC. Based on Peter Flannery's stage play, the TV show took on the myriad ideas and wove them together to create an expansive (and expensive) tapestry that takes us from the council estates of Newcastle to the slums of London. It has plot-lines that deal with police corruption, crime, big business, family, addiction, revenge, terrorism and the "machine" of politics.
The story is almost as much about getting older as it is about these more abstract concepts though. The cast start the story playing teenagers and end the story in their early fifties. The process of getting older, growing up, having children and relationships takes its toll on the characters for good and for ill. The damage of a loveless marriage and a destructive relationship with a father leave heavy scars on these friends. But most critically the story is about how people start out with a preconceived notion of who they are, where they are and how much they can change things. The reality almost always turns out to be different on all fronts, or so the series would have it.
It's also far from a broad canvas of ideas. It's a highly personal story that deals with the lives of the four main characters and a wealth of strong supporting characters. Among these are Malcolm McDowell's sleazy criminal boss, Tony Haygarth and Danny Webb as honest cops playing opposite David Schofield as a crooked cop. But the series stand out in terms of the supporting cast is Peter Vaughn as Nicky's father, the burned out Felix Hutchison who makes a huge impact in his role. His relationship (or lack of one) is a critical factor in the Nicky story-arc.
It's far from a perfect series and it has its faults. There are some angles that aren't properly developed and feel like they just fizzle out. Some characters fade out of view, which is deliberate but it doesn't play out from a dramatic point of view. There are also a few lines of dialogue that fall badly flat but the story misses almost no beats and, at times, hits a series of remarkable high notes before the emotional but believable climax.
There are also plenty of musical cultural references. Sometimes they are a little bit low-budget where the BBC music budget would extend as far as the Rolling Stones in the 1960's but these are generally pretty solid. The costume and set design is pretty convincing too, in the 70's things get pretty ugly to look at (which includes some horrible haircuts worn by the male cast)
The show concludes with an Oasis song as it reaches the 1990's and the era of New Labour which it portrays as a mixed blessing. Peter Flannery was writing the series in the 80's (as a play) and then before New Labour was swept to power but he hazards a guess that was since proven right about the direction New Labour would take. Flannery's script is pretty left-wing but it's fairly damning of all politics and politicians. It has some human Tories and some idiotic and corrupt members of the Labour party but its allegiance is to the left.
Framing the story into election years in an interesting conceit but not one that plays a foreground role in the story. The changing face of Britain is more closely and accurately reflected by the cast and how they act, feel and even look.
Modern TV shows, especially those made by the BBC, don't tend to be as dramatic, controversial or as brave as this one. Indeed the BBC took a big chance with this show that paid off with a mass of awards but almost backfired with a civil suit by a Tory Peer who felt that a character was obviously based on him.
Your best chance of seeing this sort of thing now is to see foreign shows like "The West Wing", "The Wire" and "The Killing". The alternative is to dig this out and watch it in all its glory.
It truly is a glorious series and an impressive achievement. More than ten hours of drama plays out across more than thirty years of story. A cast of more than one hundred speaking characters deliver more than three hundred pages of dialogue taking in a massive piece of shared cultural and political memory.
This is a show that is unabashedly British, celebrating and mourning all that makes this country what it has become.

The story of our Dutch East Indies Teak began in the early 1800s, when Dutch traders sailed across vast oceans and settled in what is now known as the Republic of Indonesia.
The influence of the Dutch settlement is still prevalent in architecture in the Republic of Indonesia today. Colonial homes were almost always the preserve of the wealthy Dutch, Indonesian and Chinese elite, the architecture being a fusion of Western and Indonesian heritage.
Our Dutch East Indies Teak floors have been crafted from flooring extracted from colonial Indonesian homes undergoing renovations. Due to these renovations, we have become proud custodians of these beautiful teak floors, restoring them to reveal the beauty of their heritage and readying them for the next chapter of their story.
We travelled halfway across the world to reclaim these teak floors, bringing them back to our workshops in Cheshire to begin our painstaking restoration. The restoration process of this teak produced two flooring choices; Dutch East Indies Teak, featuring the original patina, and Bleached Dutch East Indies Teak; bleached, hand cut boards with a distinctive texture.
Teak is a scarce resource and it's very rare to find such flooring, especially examples that have survived hundreds of years of history. The honeyed tones of our antique teak and feel of the wood is beautiful underfoot and would also suit wall panelling and furniture creation. Each board holds its own shape and this will form a gentle movement across your floor.

Recently, some notable contributions suggest that discretionary fiscal policy can be an effective and self-financing policy option in the presence of extreme macroeconomic conditions. Given the special relationship between the Irish sovereign and its main financial institutions, this paper assesses the implications for the Irish fiscal accounts of certain macroeconomic policy responses. Using a comprehensive empirical framework, the paper examines the relationship between house prices, unemployment, and mortgage arrears. Loan loss forecasts over the period 2012-14 are then generated for the mortgage book of the main Irish financial institutions under two different scenarios. It is shown that macroeconomic policies, which alleviate levels of mortgage distress, improve the solvency position of the guaranteed Irish institutions, thereby reducing the sovereign's future capital obligations. Thus, the unique situation the sovereign finds itself in vis-´a-vis its main financial institutions may have significant implications for the net cost of a fiscal stimulus.

On May 30th 2001, 36 Americans mostly of African American decent, left for Swaziland in the Southern part of the African continent. Their lives have been changed forever by what they experienced over the next two weeks. Every emotion possible to experience from deeply moving love for a proud and spiritual people to wrenching malice for the disease that is causing so much pain and misery known as HIV/AIDS. At the invitation of King Mswati III, who's heartfelt and passionate call for help was felt by Director of an organization called the Economic Development Fund Foundation, EDFF for short. EDFF is a group of doctors, nurses, counselors and other healthcare practitioners, who accepted the challenge of developing a plan to streamline and make suggestions for improvement to the current way the government and non governmental organizations deal with health care for the growing HIV epidemic in Swaziland. It required going into the belly of the whale. It was the raw reality of what HIV and its complications can do to a nation.
What we saw was hospital after hospital of wards filled to capacity with the victims of the debilitating effects of HIV. We also witnessed the Hugh number of children orphaned and older sibling struggling to support their younger brothers and sister's by any means necessary, and this for some means prostitution and crime. Some are lucky enough to have at least one grandparent who can assist in caring for them or take full responsibility for their welfare as long as they are alive, if they have the resources. What we saw was fear and denial separating what support through medicine, counseling and other social services that are available be under utilized. Fear of testing and fear of disclosing is wide spread, as most Swazi's believe HIV to be a death sentence to be faced alone and in isolation. We saw a people who were afraid to admit that ancient cultural practices were killing them along with the religious views that convict them by making the admission that they still practice it. The ancient practice of polygamy is in direct contradiction to the western religious ideologies they have adopted, causing a deep sense of guilt, shame and resentment. The question at this point might be asked; "Is their any hope?" the answer from us was a resounding YES! Based on our own experience in the US dealing with these same issues, we know that these things can be addressed, must be addressed. My own experience of Living with HIV for 18 years is an example of movement from fear and denial to one of hope and wellness. We made many recommendations on what could be improve in the way they offer services and brought one and one half tons of medicines with us collected in our various communities as a donation, along with clothing, food supplements, information on the most current treatments and practices used in the US. We came not to model their system after our own but to assist them in moving to their next step considering where they are culturally, socially, and spiritually. It is our hope that what we learned from them will improve not only their way of dealing with HIV but ours as well. HIV and AIDS are still on the rise in the African American communities, as our denial and fear is still strong. There are those in both societies who are living with HIV/AIDS who's stories can be a source of inspiration for us all if given the opportunity to courageously speak this truth.
What else can we who are not HIV+ do?
Practice safe sex, stay monogamous, or abstain from sex. Discuss openly the issues standing in the way of our owning up to behaviors that may not be serving us in positive ways. It is this change in attitude and behavior that is required to end this menace on both continents and around the world. We can begin to develop laws and religious practices that support the entire community, this will limit the fear associated with testing and disclosure. We can construct collaborations in our communities of social, political, spiritual, and cultural organizations realizing the issues underlying HIV/AIDS are larger than any one organization or nation and requires cooperation from every sector of government and the cooperation and support of a multi-national taskforce. We must tell the TRUTH.
There were many people at end stage of the disease in Swaziland. One such woman hung herself as a group of us arrived at her home in a remote area outside Steki. Her family was gathered around her home as the authorities removed her body when we arrived. Another family of seven children had recently lost their mother to HIV complications, their father made his transition two years earlier. The families story was pick up by one of the local papers and people and organizations responded with food money and medications as some of the children are also infected with HIV. When the family was away working and in school, bandits broke into the home and took every thing. The truth is the entire community where they live is also in a desperate and depressed state. Our group came to them in the middle of the night with replacement supplies. As a result of this contact, we adopted a school and several clinics to support on a continuous basis. We who are involved in counseling also adopted the three hospital programs and several non-governmental organizations to support by assisting them in organizing HIV Support groups and linking and coordinating information and services they are providing independently. This is a way that our community in the US can support the programs in Swaziland by contacting Maurice Graham, founder of a non profit organization called Aid for AIDS/Africa and setting up a collaboration of support materially and spiritually with programs we have personal contact with in Africa. My contact information by phone is 510 839-2241 or by e-mail at email@example.com. We can do together what we cannot do alone. The issue of substance abuse one major highway for HIV transmission was addressed by planting the seed for the 12 Step Programs, which have proven to be so effective here in the US. If you are in the area of Southern Africa and can lend support by assisting the Swazi people by sponsoring 12 Step Fellowship groups or any of the projects mentioned, please contact me, Maurice Graham at Gibbs Magazine.
Facts About HIV in SWAZILAND
It's a kingdom, of less than 1 million people who are being ravaged by HIV and AIDS infection. It is has the fourth highest infection rate in Africa per capita. It is estimated that 35% of the population is already positive with HIV. That number represents more than 300,000 people. 70% of the people who have tested positive for HIV have also tested positive for Tuberculosis. Since TB is an airborne virus, it is being introduced to people who are HIV positive already, or it is being reactivated in people who have sought treatment for TB in the past, and because of the depleted nature of their immune system as a result of HIV infection, have reactivated the TB. The program to treat TB is 6 months in Swaziland. Here, in the U.S., the program is more than a year of treatment, with the CDC and the local Health Department following each case to its conclusion. So, the 6 months treatment only brings, in most cases, the Tuberculosis into a state of remission.
There are many cultural, social, political, economic, religious issues standing in the way of effectively getting the population tested. Disclosure after testing positive is an issue, most people don't admit the fact that they have tested positive for fear of being stigmatized and discriminated against. One of the complications with the medicines would be the fact that the patient would have to disclose to their doctor their HIV status to receive the medicines, in most cases. The doctor in some cases can guess what is happening with his patient and will use treatments relative to HIV "OI's" or opportunistic infections, that may be occurring with that particular patient even though he can not state in the patient record the belief he is positive for HIV. The patient may in fact recover from whatever that infection might be. Fear of disclosing is a barrier standing in the way of effectively using the information, services and medications already available for healing. It denies the experiences of the medical community treating HIV and the people who are already HIV positive and living with HIV/AIDS sharing their experiences that could contribute to wellness. Treatments, which could prevent opportunistic infections early in the disease process, are not used and many die prematurely with out the benefit of what is available to them currently. The medicine situation in Swaziland is one where there are HIV and AIDS medicines available but only to those who can afford to pay the cost of the medication as it is purchased by the governmental agencies and pharmaceutical companies that are in Swaziland. Most Swazi's cannot afford AIDS medicines. Opportunistic infection medicine, however, is available at a reasonable cost. The cost to enter the hospitals in Swaziland is 10 Rand, which is equivalent to about a $1.25 US, and that entitles that person to whatever medicines are available for the opportunistic infections associated with HIV. Although this may sound quit reasonable to you who are reading this report, however, a large number of people cannot even afford to pay for entrance into the hospital.

text: The plan is simply to travel all around the world! One day I'll be back home. But I don't know when. My plan isn't to migrate, it's to travel. Our "nice" Prime Minister (Antonis Samaras, EX-PRIME MINISTER as from the 25th of January!!!), by following all these policies of austerity, offered me the chance to travel, so I grabbed it! During the last 11 months of preparing the journey I sometimes felt worried (I almost canceled it a few days before I go) because trying to survive in Greece started to seem more adventurous than traveling around the world! I don't know exactly when I will return. It depends on my budget (the thinner my wallet gets, the closer I'll be to Greece) and on my personal goals. If I don't feel fulfilled by my journey anymore, I'll stop it. Until this moment, my journey is the most powerful experience I've ever had!

"Why do we revolutionary user interface? I mean. Here is four smartphones. Right, the Moto Q, Blackberry, Palm Treo, Nokia E62. The usual suspects. And, what's wrong with their user interface? Well, the problem with them is really sort of in the bottom 40 there. It's this stuff right here. They all have these keyboards, they're there whether or not you need them to be there. And they all have these control buttons that are fixed in plastic and are the same for every application. Well, every application wants a slightly different user interface, a slightly optimized set of buttons, just for it. And what happens if you think of a great idea six months from now? You can't run around and add a button to these things. They're already shipped.
So, what do you do? It doesn't work because the buttons and the controls can't change. They can't change for each application, and they can't change down the road if you think of another great idea you want to add to this product.
Well, how do you solve this? Hmm, it turns out, we have solved it. We solved it in computers 20 years ago. We saw that with a Bitmap screen they could display anything we want. Put any user interface up. And a pointing device. We solved it with the mouse. We solved this problem, so how are we going to take this to a mobile device? What we're going to do is get rid of all these buttons and just make a giant screen. A giant screen. Now, how are we going to communicate with this? We don't want to carry it around a mouse, right? So what are we going to do? A stylus, right? We're going to use a stylus. No. Who wants a stylus? You have to get 'em and put 'em away, and you lose them, yuck! Nobody wants a stylus, so let's not use a stylus.
We're going to use the best pointing device in the world, we're going to use the pointing device that we're all born with, we're born with ten of them, we're going to use our fingers. We're going to touch this with our fingers. And, we have invented a new technology called multi-touch which is phenomenal, it works like magic. You don't need a stylus. It's far more accurate than any touch display that's ever been shipped. It ignores unintended touches, it's super smart, you can do multi finger gestures on it. And boy, have we patented it!" – Steve Jobs at the introduction of iPhone (2007)
[Video Clip Ends]
You know, I'm glad everybody is laughing. Because he makes it funny. When was the last time you actually had fun delivering a PowerPoint? Yeah, he uses Apple Keynote, but you get the idea. When is the last time you actually had fun delivering a presentation? Not too often. You see what I mean by passion, enthusiasm comes across? But this is hard to do, that simplicity of communication is very difficult to do.
Everything I'm talking to you about today. You can't just turn this in a few minutes. You really have to think through, what's my story? How do I make it understandable? What's my Twitter-friendly headline?
Twitter-friendly headlines, sometimes, can take hours to develop. I've worked with a group of executives, over some very, very complex technology and information. You could do it. No matter how complex your idea is, you can actually create a one-sentence description for it. But that could take hours.
Then you have to ask yourself: Why should my audience care? Why should they care? So, these two things will help you make your presentation, and your conversation more understandable, which is the first element of inspiration. How do — do I get it? You get your audience to start nodding in agreement. Okay, I see the category in which he is placing this new product, I understand the benefits, I understand it. Tell me more. Help me remember it. Stamp it on my memory.
Bring Numbers to Life
How are we going to do that? There's a number of techniques that I could talk about, but because you're MBA students, you deal a lot with finance and data and analysis and numbers. Bring numbers to life. This is one excellent method that you can use today. Bring numbers to life. Put every statistic that you deliver into a context that is relevant to the audience.
So in 2001 when Apple introduced the iPod for the first time. They said it contained five gigabytes of storage. Five gigs means nothing to anybody, it's just a big number. Well not today, but back then it was a big number. 5 gigs. No, 5 gigs is the equivalent of 1000 songs. Oh, and now that's more interesting. OK, 1000 songs. Now I get it. 1000 songs in your pocket, which was the brilliance of Steve Jobs.
Steve Jobs would always take it one step further. Most people would just deliver 5 gigs. Smart communicators would say that's the equivalent of 1000 songs, genius communicators go one step above that. Apple continues to do this to this day which is why Apple is so brilliant at communicating information and messages behind their products. There's a whole team of people back there and they work really long and hard to communicate interesting and engaging messages.
So last year when Phil Schiller introduced the new iPad Mini, I forgot how thin it was. I'm going to show you a clip and it'll remind me. It was thin. It was some kind of number. Really thin. I don't remember the number. I remember it was thin as a pencil. I do remember it was as light as a pad of paper.

In the silence I feel comfortable. The desert, the decadence and the abandonment gives us form because in the silence future dies with no limits and no words. In that echo you can hear classy people who blame the universe for feeling small or you can see souls looking at ants face to face. In the silence I finally understand you without your need.
In silence, however, there is no tranquility, peace or rest. In the silence the desperate and vicious glances impose their forgiveness on their victims. Silence keeps me away from you because it's not fair. That's why I need to find a place where it makes sense to get in trouble.
All those people who believe that dancing is what they can't do, where did they learn to be such good cowards? Before knowing that they did not know, why did they decide to recognize the teacher and thus, reveal the secret in exchange for an identity? These people think that it's the instinct which led them to change their freedom and knowledge to fear and power. In truth though, they're such good cowards because it isn't the first time they try it. It isn't the first time that in this world we let them to try it however they will never know to avoid having to say thanks.
The homeland is one of the silences that artists try to hate with their lyrics, their sounds and their silences. They wave their poetry form flags to ask the Father for permission. They mark their borders with their music and their stories in order to be generous again. Artists possess all the identities and all the nationalisms but only speak about the selfishness that the Father gave them. In this change of era, selfishness speaks to us about the only gift we are capable of accepting without fear of getting lost trying to find the only way to be a system and help out.
Far away from art I approach you. Silence, like an imagination, comes out of my mouth to ask you to stay. In that silence you can talk about everything, prejudice becomes beautiful and people and countries stop being a prison. Without a jail where breathing, my robot identity stops looking for those thousands of followers who, with their learned caresses, make me human. My language is robot. In the silence, as in a lie where I lose my fear, my scream is heard again: it is the new fake.
The new fake is the young and clumsy scream with which the artist identifies himself. The new fake is the point of encounter, evolution and understanding between the artist and the robot which is borning inside you. The new fake is the outcome of our success while the old lies were the outcome of our hope. The old lies held the truth which today stands on the same floor on which the robots walk.

At first glance, on the hanger this simply appears to be a nicely constructed single-breasted jacket - a handy and versatile wardrobe staple. But try this jacket on and you'll soon realise it's actually double-breasted in design, albeit with a single button detail, giving it a definitive edge over its standard counterpart. Cut in a wool blend, this jacket is easy to wear and care for, while its asymmetrical appeal and slim silhouette work as readily with jeans as its matching suit trouser. If you're looking for a great update of a classic item, this is an ideal choice - choose between statement making cobalt or basic black.

My glass is so full. Full of you and what you give to me daily. The discipline, guidance, love and care. The pain and pleasure that accompanies this. When we are together its like we were never apart. We go through a day like it was destined always to be so. With working through things, enjoying each other, play times and rest.
When "working through things and enjoying each other", it is bringing us closer on a level of the mind and strength in building our understanding of one another.
When play times come, it brings us closer emotionally through all the pain and pleasure and feeding off each other. With the spankings, dress up and giving pleasure in the sex and love we share.
And when we are apart it is as though I go numb for a while, like I and my body are waiting patiently for the time we will be back together again. But then you bring me back to the present and the working together even though apart. For now it is the normal way we are.
You have given me so much so I always feel loved and blessed. My glass is never half empty or half full. It is always full of your love and my love for you.

13+ Entrance Science
13+ Science tuition is one of our most commonly requested subjects and students often combine it with 13+ Maths tuition. The 13+ Science common entrance exam is based upon the programme of study for key stage 3 of the National Curriculum and a solid knowledge of 11+ Science is assumed when sitting the exam.
The examination papers will contain questions about practical techniques and scientific processes. Students should learn to record observations and measurements with precision. The analysis, interpretation, explanation and evaluation of their methods, results and conclusions will also be examined.
A tutor can help fill knowledge gaps, bolster confidence and explain some of the trickier concepts. Tutors can also offer help with exam technique and work through past papers with students.
13+ Science tuition through Osborne Cawkwell has helped prepare students for day and boarding schools all over the UK, as well as top London schools, including: Eton College, Westminster School, St Paul's School, Cheltenham Ladies' College, Rugby School, Marlborough College, Harrow School, King's College Wimbledon and Oundle School.

Smith, Ph.D.
Professor and Foundation Fellow, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology Kennesaw State University
"Prokaryotic Noxes: Bigger Hammers for Structure-function Basics"
The Smith lab research centers around the mechanisms that control the activities of proteins that participate in cell signaling. She uses evolutionary comparisons of protein sequences and molecular modeling to predict the parts of proteins most likely to control their activity. And then she tests those predictions in the laboratory, using a combination of techniques to perturb and measure activity. She investigates the structure, function and control of NADPH oxidases (Nox) and of voltage-gated proton channels (HV1). Noxes and HV1 are known to work together in several cell types, and both produce signals important not only to human health but also to the development, physiology, and lifestyles of many other organisms.

Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
Everything i load, tutorial or campaign ends up with a different ctd...usually "macromedia projector" or "index". My Windows XP sp 1 Alienware rig is up to date with a fresh install of the OS & drivers.
This is the release version, got it today and it is unplayable. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
Did you have the same problem with the demo?
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
Nope, not the first demo, i never tried the "improved demo".
Update: 5 minutes is the most i can play, some Campaigns crash before they even start with the Macromedia Projector Error.
Alienware P4 2.8 ghz Intel WinXP sp1
1024 DDR Ram
GeForce FX5700 Ultra 128mg video card
Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro 5.1 soundcard
Latest drivers on fresh OS
Very dissappointing, i hope the MAC users get their moneys worth...i haven't had such a bad software experience since the dos days.I paid for my pre-order months ago, January?, to think i waited all this time for nothing http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/Sick.gif.
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
Unfortunately this error did not show up during test. Couple of things:
Have you changed any drivers or installed any new hardware or Operating System patches since you tried the previous demo?
This will help us eliminate a problem with your PC versus a problem with code that has changed since the first demo.
Can you get us a screenshot or the exact text of the error?
Does it happen when certain things happen in the game (ie when a specific sound is being played, etc).
Andrew should be joining us shortly and can help you figure this out a little bit further.
Again this is the first report of this but we will make sure we find the root cause so you can play the game ASAP.
Thanks for your patience.
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
Lord Hammer:
This did not show up in the testing, and I know (from your activity here and on other forums) you are not the type of user likely to be at fault. Add to that that other PC users do not seem to be having the same trouble, and I think it adds up to some sort of a incomparability between the Gold Salvo code and something in your system, or some combination of things in your system. Since the Demo worked on your system, we can find a solution, even if you get our own "Lord Hammer" build of Salvo. Suffice it to say, I will work with you to find the solution.
Please check the screen size that you are playing Salvo at. There may be a connection between the screen size and the error. Try running Salvo in the default "windowed" mode and see if that helps.
Another thing to try is a full uninstall and reinstall of Salvo. Uninstall the Demo if you have not, and then uninstall the final Salvo product, and reinstall. It is important that you not change anything after you reinstall, but that you go ahead and try to play the game. Then if the game works, you can try customizing the setup.
That's it for now, but I would like to reiterate that I am committed to making Salvo work for you, so you can either continue to post notes here, or send Email to me at:
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
The demo was deleted before i reinstalled my OS along with a registry cleaner "CheckMyPC" etc. I have tried running Window, expanded & full with different settings. When i got up this morning i gave it another shot and actually made it through the first scenario of an English Campaign...I will try your suggestionof re-installing and then start without any changes to the options etc. Thanks for your help, i will take a methodical approach and report back and if it is truly a unique problem then there is hope in tracking it down http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif. I apologize for my pessimism...it's just that i could almost taste the ocean air http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/fear.gif.
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
I have the same problem with the Macromedia Projector crashes. It seems to affect only certain campaigns. The Edward Teach campaign is completely unplayable because of the crash bug. I tried a different campaign (I can't remember which one) and there seemed to be no problem after about a dozen turns. I didn't have time to play any further. I won't have time to really experiment to track down the crash conditions for several days. I just wanted to pop in quickly and let you know that someone else is having your problem.
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
@Andrew: I tried all the "Pirate Campaigns", none of which would run, and a couple English of which i can move forward in at least one. So it does seem to hint at something in the game itself unless McBan has my same specs/hardware and we all know what the chances of that are http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif.
Re: Macromedia Projector Bug=Constant Crashes
I scraped up a little bit of time to experiment with Salvo! to reproducibly crash the game. Playing the Edward Teach campaign, the game runs fine until I use the arrow keys to move the viewpoint while a ship has been selected, but not moved yet. Then the Macromedia crash occurs after pressing an arrow key once or several times. Use of the arrow keys without a selected ship does not cause any crashes. I have not tried the other campaign where the game worked without any problems. It might be that for whatever reason I never used the arrow keys while a ship was selected. Anyway, this hopefully narrows the problem and provides a work-around for anyone having this problem.

This research study is a Phase II clinical trial, which tests the effectiveness of an investigational drug(s). The investigational drugs used in this research study are Ixazomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone. "Investigational" means that the FDA (the U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved the combination of Ixazomib, Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone as a treatment regimen for Smoldering Multiple Myeloma.
The purpose of this research study is to learn whether the combination of Ixazomib, Lenalidomide, and Dexamethasone works in treating Smoldering Multiple Myeloma. Ixazomib is a drug that may kill or stop cancer cells from growing by blocking the proteasome within the cell, which is responsible for degrading or breaking down a variety of proteins. This type of drug is called a proteasome inhibitor. Lenalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug, meaning it modifies the participant immune system to help fight the participant disease. Dexamethasone is a steroid, which is usually combined with other drugs to enhance their effects to fight the participant disease. Ixazomib is approved by the FDA in combination with Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma and is currently being evaluated for use in the treatment of several types of cancers. Both Lenalidomide and Dexamethasone have been previously approved by the FDA for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma, as well as several other cancers.
