Theodora Ihuarulam shares her typical day at work at ETX-NGFriday, 2015/12/18
Hearing this familiar tone at 4:30am every morning makes me wish everyday were a Saturday. Staggering out of bed, heading straight to the kitchen to prepare my meal for the day then to the bathroom. At 6:00am my day starts proper, having to fight my way through the crowd to get on a bus, and staying in the traffic that lasts for almost an hour and thirty minutes, quite a handful. At 7:20 or at most 7:30am I arrive at my office building faced with another dreaded task (taking the stairs). My office is on the 8th floor and the only way I can get there is by climbing the stairs. This is because the generator power comes on at 8'oclock and that's when the elevator comes on too. The aftermath of this exercise is not something to joke about. My first few weeks at my office were not eventful at all, having most of my colleagues stare at my sweaty face and my breath pondering so loud like my church drum. Funny, but hey, I survived.
At 7:35am, done with my jogging exercise (that's me taking the stairs), and of course I always have my colleagues Rachael (at her desk catching a quick nap before the start of business) and Michael (on his phone as usual). Taking my seat to calm my nerves, my right hand on my computer turning it on. After which I run through my previous task from the previous day and draft my task for the new day while waiting for my bosses call. My boss being an early bird, calls in everyday from 8:10 to 8:30am, making us review our duties and tasks from the previous day and appointing new ones to each one of us or few of us on rare occasions.
As a customer service personnel, my job entails making/receiving calls, providing solutions to customers' complaints, receiving/replying mails and channelling them to the appropriate quarters, posting comments and replying to customer's questions on our social media platform (Twitter, Facebook, Linked in), etc. Knowing how at ease our youths are on the social networks, we made it our duty to create an avenue whereby we connect and attend to their transcript processing needs. Here we find questions like," I wish to make an order but your site is not accepting the recipient's details" .In a situation like this, I will simply apologise for every inconveniences caused and with the help of our IT department, I will put them through on how to go about the completion of their application. Also questions about the services we render and maybe assist them in registering on our website. And my response will be thus ''ETX-NG is a technology platform that enables Students/Alumni's request, transfer and deliver their academic transcripts between universities, polytechnics and educational institutions in Nigeria as well as within universities in USA and Europe, and to apply you simply log on to our website www.etx-ng.com, click on students/alumni, on the drop box you click on order transcript, then you make your registration from there. It's easy and direct.''
From 8:30am our phone lines are already buzzing with calls ''Hello, good morning my name is Theodora, you are on to ETX-NG, how may we help you" feeling like a superhero, out to save the world (laughing). Most times our customers call in to follow up on the status of their transcript, which we highly appreciate, I simply request for his/her Reference ID as a means of identification to check on the status and relating it to the customer. The next thing that follows it's either the customer is complaining about the delay of his /her transcript which is normal in some cases (where by students files are not found in the school archive). What I do first is to confirm the date of application to see if it has gone past the standard processing time, if yes, I quickly alert my colleague to chase Reps in that particular school for new updates. One thing I love about my job is being able to put smiles on our customers' faces, it gives me this self-fulfilment. On this job, there are people who make you smile, sad, and others that make you wish the earth could open up and swallow you, but with all these I wouldn't have wished for a better job.
Fast forward to 1:00pm, which is everyone's favourite time (lunch time). The microwave is always ready to make my meal warm and fresh again, I and my colleagues doing some catch ups from the previous day, at the same time munching on what we have in our plates. And before you say jack, its 1:30pm already, back to my desk to continue my task for the day. But first, one crucial part of my job is calling some of our customers who couldn't complete their orders due to one reason or the other, this is to enable us connect with our intending customers, know what their setbacks are in applying and convincing them on how stress free and less time consuming our services can be to their advantage. And so far, it's been helping in the companies growth, in the sense that I get to hear customers say "oh I love what you guys do, and because of this I will consider reapplying" or you hear comments like " I thought it was too expensive at first, but I will go finish it up". There are other times when I get turned down no matter how hard I try to convince a customer, but it still doesn't pull me down, it just means better luck next time. At 4:00pm I start putting my reports together (which contains my daily incoming and outgoing call logs, call purpose, call description, their phone numbers and Reference ID), which goes out at exactly 5:00pm daily. Then at 5:00pm I hear my home beckoning on me (laughing).
Having stated all of the above, some days are super hectic while others are fun filled that I wish they never ended. However, I will simply say that my typical workday has a mix of stress, fun and excitement.
In a nutshell - It's simple how we help.

Growth of Weyl semimetals and their magnetotransport study
The SKYTOP project exploits the cross-fertilization between the topological class in real space associated with skyrmions and that in the reciprocal space associated with topological insulators and Weyl semimetals, to develop new concepts in nanoelectronics based on topological matter.
The successful candidate will develop processes for the growth of the Weyl semimetals WTe2 and MoTe2 by CVD. She/He will be in charge of validating the semimetal behavior of the layers through magnetotransport. Target: production and functional validation of Weyl semimetals on large scale to allow future manufacturability.
Attached is the official call (DEADLINE 31 May 2019). It is in Italian. If you need any support in order to apply, feel free to contact Dr. Roberto Mantovan

List of baby poncho knitting pattern ideas available on the Internet.
Baby ponchos are great layering pieces for young kids. There are no sleeves to work through. Easy to put on and pull off. The babies have space to move their limbs around.
Those with hoods can even protect the precious heads. If it is too hot, the hood can be removed and you don't have to worry about losing them since they are attached to the poncho.
1. Bernat's hooded baby poncho
This baby poncho is like a kiddy version of the little red riding hood. I think learning how to knit a hooded poncho would make me popular.
Pattern: Bernat's baby poncho
2. Lionbrand's h
ooded baby poncho
This hooded baby poncho is knitted from front to back. The neck opening is created by casting off and casting on more stitches. The hood is created by picking up stitches at the neck and the top of the hood is shaped by stitching by folding the top edge of the hood piece into half and stitch together.
The little pocket in the front is so cute.
Pattern: Hooded baby poncho with pocket
3. Little Peach Hooded Baby Poncho
Knitted from the top beginning with the hood. The hood is made up of garter stitch while the body is made up of stockinette stitch, ending with a moss stitch hem.
Garnstudio's patterns are known to need a bit more time to understand but this is one of the simpler ones.
Pattern: Little Peach Baby Poncho
4. Two-colour poncho
What a unique baby poncho design. Classic looking. The usual poncho is knitted in the round, this one is knitted flat. The back and front pieces are knitted separately before being sewn together. The turtleneck collar is then knitted from picking up stitches.
Pattern: Two-Colour Baby Poncho
5. Kaya's Poncho
A sweet poncho with a crochet edging and a crochet flower brooch.
The poncho is knitted in 2 rectangles and joined together to form the poncho. The collar is made from picking up stitches and a single ribbing.
Pattern: Kaya's Poncho
6. Poncholino
This is the first poncho I came across that is made up of 2 garter stitch squares joined together. What a great idea because I like making garter stitch squares on a bias. LOL!
I would consider this the best project for a beginner. Unfortunately, the pattern isn't in English but I don't think this is a deal breaker. You can learn how to knit a garter stitch square on a bias from my garter stitch dumpling bag pattern. Make 2 of these to a suitable size and join them together. Embellish away.
Pattern: Poncholino
7. Kiddie Capelet
Although this pattern is titled the Kiddie capelet, it is actually more like a poncho. Knitted from the top to the bottom with yarn over eyelets.
The instructions are quite simple although I didn't know what BOR mean. It doesn't take too long to figure it out though. 🙂
The pattern might be straightforward but I really like it. A nice idea for a spring or autumn poncho.
Pattern: Kiddie Capelet

Understanding Brain Damage Locations
Published: 15 March 2017
Published: 15 March 2017
It is who we are and although we all have one, it is the one thing that makes us unique.
So, it makes sense that when damage occurs to the brain, changes also occur to the person. These changes vary considerably and could include alterations to the person's speech, their mobility, their memory and even their personality.
Our brains can become damaged in many ways: maybe from a stroke, a tumour, or a knock to the head. And, any symptoms that the person displays is all dependent on where their brain was damaged and the extent of the damage.
Generally brain damage is described depending on location of the injury, so it may be which lobe the site of the injury is located at or which vessel has been damaged, for example: a glioblastoma in the left parietal lobe or a middle cerebral artery (MCA) stroke.
When people think of the frontal lobe, they think of it as the lobe that makes us who we are and gives us our personality.
It is also the lobe that gives us our concentration, memory, affect, judgment, inhibitions, abstract thought and motor function, including our motor control of speech. It is also important to note that it is where Broca's area for language production is located (Farrell & Dempsey 2013; Mauk 2012).
Damage to our frontal lobe can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002; Lehr 2017)
The parietal lobe assists in the coordination of all our sensory information that is coming into our brain and is where our sensory information is analyzed and interpreted.
The parietal lobe is also the area in which we have our centre for memory so we are able to identify objects. And, as if it doesn't do enough already, it is also an important area that allows us to have spatial awareness (Farrell & Dempsey 2013; Mauk 2012).
Damage to our parietal lobe can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002; Lehr 2017)
The name of this lobe says it all; the occipital lobe is primarily responsible for our visual interpretations and is where our signals from the retina are perceived (Farrell & Dempsey 2013).
Damage to our occipital lobe can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002; Lehr 2017)
The temporal lobe not only contains our auditory receptive areas but is also an interpretive area for the integration of the visual, auditory and somatic information our brain is receiving.
It also holds a very important area for us that allows us to understand words, speech and language, called Wernicke's area (Farrell & Dempsey 2013; Mauk 2012).
Damage to our temporal lobe can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002; Lehr 2017)
The thalamus is important for maintaining our level of alertness, and is also where all of our sensations (except smell), pain impulses, sensation and memory pass through. (Farrell & Dempsey 2013; Mauk 2012).
The hypothalamus is an area that has many functions: it assists with the regulation of hormones, helps maintain fluid balance, controls the sleep-wake cycle, regulates blood pressure, controls emotional responses, maintains temperature regulation, and controls and regulates the autonomic nervous system (Farrell & Dempsey 2013).
Damage to the hypothalamus can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002)
The pons, along with the midbrain and medulla oblongata, make up our brain stem, which control our most primitive functions and is what keeps us alive.
The pons controls our heart, respiration and blood pressure. Additionally, it contains some motor and sensory pathways (Farrell & Dempsey 2013).
Damage to the pons can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002)
The midbrain is our centre for auditory and visual reflexes and also contains sensory and motor pathways (Farrell & Dempsey 2013).
Damage to the midbrain can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002)
The medulla oblongata connects our brain and our spinal cord with most of our sensory and motor fibres either crossing into the brain or finishing at this level (Farrell & Dempsey 2013).
Damage to the medulla oblongata can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002)
Our cerebellum is responsible for our coordination of movement and controls our balance, posture, muscle tone and awareness of each part of our body. It is also an area for some of our cognitive functions such as attention, language and emotion, and furthermore helps to integrate some of our sensory input (Farrell & Dempsey 2013; Mauk 2012).
Damage to the cerebellum can result in:
(Kowalak & Hughes 2002; Lehr 2017)
As you know, our brain controls who we are, what we do and how we do it. Everyone's brains are different and because of this, damage to one area of the brain will show certain symptoms in one person but may not be the exact same to the next person.
It is also important to note that for some brain injuries, there will also be secondary injuries occurring as well as a result from the swelling and homeostatic response to the initial injury (Mauk 2012). Caring for someone following a brain injury will be dependent on the injury and their subsequent deficits, and often involves rehabilitation from a multidisciplinary team.

Wednesday, 25 August 2010
The one above is the 2nd of them which came out on Wednesday 17th August 1966, the day before the official opening.
Inside it has lots of information about the building of the bridge, technical details, a bit about the guys who built it, the workers who died and an optimistic outlook for how Dundee would prosper in the future.
There are also loads of local ads, some of which I'll put up next.
The face on the front of the supplement is one of the men who worked on the bridge, Tony Curran of Inverkeithing.
It also features some of the Fifie workers who would be losing their jobs at Craig Pier's Ferries, but were given work on the bridge as toll collectors, patrolmen and so on.
You can see on the film clip below, some of the construction work being done.

Just shows you what they say about people of yesteryear looking old as Tony Curran of Inverkeithing looks older than a 62 year old would today BTW Retro thanks to you and your suppliers of these clips its keeping this bit of Dundee history alive and out there for the future I wonder if any of the schools look in to thess pagesReplyDelete
- Anonymous25 August 2010 at 03:44
Interestingly, the bridgehead looks no different today due to the work going on there at the moment...ReplyDelete
Notice none of the workers had much in the way of safety gear then!ReplyDelete
The 5 guys who died were - Benjamin Bowness (27) - Archibald Kerr (20) - John McQueen (25) - Donald Ross (25) - James Lennie (50).
The last 3 all died in the same accident and their bodies never recovered, so were still down there somewhere when the bridge opened...and they may very well still be!
Absolutely Brilliant video GG, thank you very much. Talking about safety, can I see a guy standing on top of the moving wagons? There isnt much if any safety rails in view either...ReplyDelete
- Anonymous23 October 2011 at 05:13
@ Retro DundeeReplyDelete
Benjamin Bowness was my uncle (I am Stanley Bowness's son, Alan Bowness). I had never met him I dont think, I was 7 months old at the time of his death.
There is a memorial somewhere near the bridge I think, for all those that died. We used to have a newspaper clipping of Benjamins mother (Alice) at the memorial.

The Supreme Court of Western Australia recently handed down the decision of Clough Projects Australia Pty Ltd v Floreani [2018] WASC 101 in a dispute between Clough Projects Australia Pty Ltd (Clough) and Oceanic Offshore Pty Ltd (Oceanic) arising out of works to upgrade the Mundaring Weir.
Clough applied to the Supreme Court of Western Australia for a writ of certiorari to quash a determination made by the adjudicator under the Construction Contracts Act 2004 (CCA) that Clough was to pay Oceanic the amount of AU$465,658 for payment claims under the subcontract.
The Supreme Court granted Clough's application and quashed the adjudicator's determination, on the basis that the adjudicator failed to afford Clough procedural fairness and made a jurisdictional error by exceeding his jurisdiction by adjudicating payment disputes that had not arisen under the subcontract.
The Supreme Court held as follows:
The Supreme Court found that section 32(3)(b) would be the source of the adjudicator's jurisdiction when the parties consent, but section 32(3)(c) would apply where the consent of one party is not forthcoming. Further, the Supreme Court held that it is unlikely that the legislature intended to allow adjudicators to adjudicate simultaneous adjudications between different parties but not between the same parties, and that this interpretation is supported relevant extrinsic materials, including the explanatory memorandum to the Construction Contracts Amendment Bill 2016.
Accordingly, the Supreme Court held that the adjudicator acted within his jurisdiction in adjudicating more than one payment dispute between the parties simultaneously even without Clough's consent.
The second issue the Supreme Court had to consider was whether the adjudicator determined the payment disputes on a basis not argued by the parties, thereby denying Clough procedural fairness. The adjudicator's determination was based on findings of implied contracts, on which there had been no submissions from either party.
Section 32(3)(c) of the CCA gave the adjudicator the power to adjudicate more than one payment dispute between the parties simultaneously without Clough's consent
The adjudicator determined the payment disputes on a basis not argued by the parties, and denied Clough procedural fairness by not inviting submissions
The adjudicator exceeded his jurisdiction by determining the payment disputes on findings that one or more implied contracts had been formed between the parties
The Supreme Court held that the adjudicator denied Clough procedural fairness by failing to disclose that he proposed to find that implied contracts had been formed and that he proposed to allow Oceanic's claim on that basis. The Supreme Court found that Clough could not reasonably have anticipated that the adjudicator would determine seven (out of nine) of Oceanic's claims on that basis and was not given the opportunity to make submissions that may have affected the adjudicator's determination. Accordingly, the Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari quashing the determination.
Firstly, the Supreme Court had to determine whether section 32(3)(c) allowed the adjudicator to determine one or more payment disputes simultaneously between the same parties. Clough submitted that section 32(3)(c) only allows an adjudicator to determine payment disputes simultaneously if they are between different parties. Oceanic submitted that there is nothing in the wording of the section which limits the discretion of an adjudicator in that way.
The Supreme Court agreed with Oceanic and held that section 32(3) (c) gives the adjudicator the discretion to adjudicate a payment dispute simultaneously with one or more other payment disputes between the same parties, if the adjudicator is satisfied that doing so will not adversely affect the adjudicator's ability to adjudicate the dispute in accordance with section 30. There are no words in section 32(3)(c) that limit its application to payment disputes between different parties.
The third issue the Supreme Court considered was whether the adjudicator exceeded his jurisdiction by determining the payment disputes on the basis of findings of implied contracts between the parties. The Supreme Court agreed with Clough's submissions that the adjudicator's jurisdiction was limited to adjudicating payment disputes arising under the Subcontract. Accordingly, as the adjudicator was adjudicating payment disputes arising under implied contracts that he determined had been formed (which arose outside of the Subcontract) he had exceeded his jurisdiction.
The Supreme Court also noted for completeness that if instead the adjudicator was determining Oceanic's claims on restitutionary principles instead of concluding that a separate and genuine contract had been formed then he would still be exceeding his jurisdiction based on the principles in Delmere Holdings Pty Ltd v Green [2015] WASC 148.
The adjudicator made a jurisdictional error by exceeding his jurisdiction and the Supreme Court quashed the determination on that basis.
This is the first time that a court has considered the interpretation of section 32(3)(c) of the CCA since it was amended. The Supreme Court's decision gives adjudicators a broader discretion to determine disputes, as it confirms that adjudicators have the power to adjudicate one or more payment disputes between the same parties (as well as different parties), even where a party does not consent. The qualification is that the adjudicator must be satisfied that doing so will not adversely affect the adjudicator's ability to adjudicate the disputes fairly and as quickly, informally and inexpensively as possible.
The Supreme Court also confirmed that a failure to accord procedural fairness will arise if an adjudicator finds on a basis not advanced by the parties, without first giving the parties an opportunity to put forward submissions.
Finally, any party applying for adjudication must ensure that the relevant payment dispute has arisen under the terms of the construction contract, and not a separate implied contract, which will be outside an adjudicator's jurisdiction under the CCA.

Playqiquiq.com, Sports – Manchester City vs. Burton Albion's game turned into a CIty goal party in the first Premier League Cup semi-final match at the Etihad Stadium, Manchester, England, Thursday morning WIB, 10 January 2019.
The victory was supported trigol Gabriel Jesus, dwigol Phil Foden, as well as a one-goal contribution from Kevin De Bruyne, Olexandr Zinchenko, Kyle Walker and Riyad Mahrez that made one leg City had been tracking the English League Cup final.
The results at once relieved the burden of the team made by Pep Guardiola when visiting the Burton headquarters at the Pirelli Stadium in the second match on January 23 local time.
Burton started the match very positively when they made the first attack. Lucas Akins fired a shot on target that City's young goalkeeper Arijanet Muric could anticipate.
The hosts responded quickly when De Bruyne managed to win the air duel despite flanked by two defenders Burton to head the ball bait David Silva's post. De Bruyne brought City ahead 1-0 when the game had only been running for five minutes.
The visitors tried to match City's game and create a dangerous attack when Akins handed the ball in front of the goal which was completed with a bouncing shot from the target by Marcus Harness.
In the 19th minute, Mahrez managed to hit Burton's goal with a volley. But the goal was disallowed because he was already in an offside position when Ilkay Guendogan released the ball.
The defending champions then doubled their lead in the 30th minute through Jesus' first goal in the match with an easy header from close range completing a Leroy Sane shot which hit goalkeeper Bradley Collins.
Four minutes later Jesus scored his second goal utilizing feedback from David Silva. The referee briefly reviewed the technology of the video referee assistant (VAR) to ensure the goal was legitimate and the score changed to 3-0 for City.
City did not need a long time to confirm they were holding a party goal to Burton's goal. In the 37th minute it was Zinchenko's turn to score from his failed cross to meet Jesus and Collins was unable to anticipate the ball into the net.
Two minutes before the normal time of the first half, Mahrez almost took his name on the scoreboard earlier when he received a pass from Sane with a volley. But this time Collins could beat the ball that came.
Left behind by four goals in the first half, Burton did not lose their fighting power. They created an opportunity in the 53rd minute when Scott Fraser finished a one-two-touch bait joint with Akins with a curling shot from the edge of the penalty box, unfortunately the ball still soared from the target.
Four minutes later, City even confirmed their superiority when Jesus completed his triggers in the match by jumping to head in the pass for Mahrez.
Not satisfied with the five-goal advantage, City added again to 6-0 through Foden's goal, which was only four minutes away after replacing De Bruyne, in the 62nd minute.
Three minutes later, City scored their seventh goal through a high-scoring goal Jesus who easily cheated the ball in front of the goal to finish Sane's pass.
City's eighth goal in the match was created in the 70th minute when Mahrez's acceleration was ended by a lure which was greeted by Walker.
Collins's ill-fated fate under the Burton crossbar was apparently not over. Seven minutes before normal time was over, Mahrez finally listed his name on the scoreboard with a second chance kick after receiving feedback from Bernardo Silva.
Manchester City vs. Burton Albion's match ended 9-0 at the Etihad when referee Mike Dean blew the whistle the game was over.

Undeniably, social networks play a key role in the current citizen movement in Algeria.
First of all, it should be recalled that the demonstrations currently shaking Algeria began following anonymous calls on the Internet for a march on February the 22nd before spreading everywhere in the country to happen repeatedly ever since .
However, the political impact of social networks in Algeria cannot be reduced to these anonymous calls. In recent years, debates are recurrently launched on the political situation of the country, on the authoritarian nature of the regime and, to a greater extent, on corruption scandals splashing people close to the ruling clan. People of all ages began relaying information, more or less verified, on ill-gotten wealth by Algerian political figures, especially in Europe, and discussion forums around politics began to flourish, in particular among young people.
In other words, a cyberspace of political discourse has been given shape. This coincides with the generalization of Internet access through 3G technology, the rise of social networks, and the large-scale use of smartphones.
Among all social networks, Facebook takes the lion's share. According to StatCounter Global Stats[i], during the period from January 2018 to February 2019, Facebook, amounting to 55.61% of users, is the social network most widely used by Algerians, closely followed by YouTube with 33.21% and such other networks as Twitter (5.85 %), Pinterest (4.03%), Instagram (0.52%), and Google+ (0.37%).
During the same period, the predominance of Facebook is even more accentuated on smartphones, which has now became the most used connection platform as these figures clearly show: Facebook 65.79%; YouTube 24.73%; Pinterest 4.29%; Twitter 4.18%; Instagram 0.72%; Google+ 0.22%.
Moreover, in a country where the authorities do not hesitate to block the Internet access to prevent students from cheating in the Baccalaureate examinations, it should be noted that with the exception of the march of February the 22nd during which the Internet has been considerably slowed down by the authorities, no significant blockage can be reported. Videos, calls, debates, lives, … continue to be relayed freely on all social networks, especially on Facebook. Algerian Internet users, particularly young people, spare no effort or ingenuity to combine humor with creativity.
How are Algerians setting up a space for exchange and communication with the aim of achieving democratic change?
In The Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere[ii] (translated into English in 1989), Jügen Habermas claims that during the 18th century a sphere emerged between the State/economy and the private sphere. According to him, a public sphere was the site where people shared their opinions and were able to change or influence decisions apart from the state and economy. He further claims that during the 18th century people were able to meet in various places in face to face forums to discuss politics and trade news. This acted as community meeting points where individuals could engage in civic activity.
This model of a public sphere was conceived of as a space in which everybody was given the right to have their voices heard and discuss democratic issues. Having created journals, newspapers, pamphlets, and books of opinion to help spread knowledge to all, the press soon established itself as a full-blown function of society, which helped create a strong civil society detached from the state in which journalism was seen as the fourth estate of society. In opposition to the state-controlled forms of communication, the fourth estate was portrayed as a benevolent form of free expression.
In a later writing (The Theory of Communicative Action)[iii], Habermas extended the concept of public sphere and added that new social movements emerged to counter attack the system by creating a space in which participants used debates in order to question the legitimacy of the state.
To what extent can
this model of public sphere apply to the Algerian case? What are its
limitations in that case? What other model(s) could apply to the Algerian case?
All these are questions to which appropriate and timely responses need to be brought by specialists.

Ted stood above the body of his next victim machete in hand.
Just do it you want this right?
He slammed it down on the sleeping person with more and more force.
You didn't make the cut! haha! HAHA!
Then he left out of the window. He made it home and took a shower clearing off the evidence.
You can do it. Just keep cool okay.
The next morning he sat at the breakfast table when his brothers came down calling him mean names like gay and queer.
After eating he left and walked to school with his friend Jeff. When they reached school he pulled his secret weapon. A knife.
Just do it it will pay off!
He then shot anyone who looked like a bully.
Then his existence stopped.
Andrew sat at his computer. He wanted to be famous. Just not like this. He moved Ted the recycle bin and deleted it forever. Some day but not today. And not like this.

Lake Bracciano (Lago di Bracciano), Italy
Lake Bracciano is a lake of volcanic origin in the Italian region of Lazio, 32 km (20 mi) northwest of Rome. It is the second largest lake in the region (second only to Lake Bolsena) and one of the major lakes of Italy. It has a circular perimeter of approximately 32 km (20 mi). The lake owes its origin to intense volcanic activity from 600,000 to 40,000 years before present, which created many small volcanoes in the Sabatino territory. The main magma chamberwas situated under the present lake of Bracciano. Its collapse created the caldera now occupied by the lake, which is a crater lake. Some small craters are still recognisable around the lake and in the immediate vicinity. Three towns border the lake, Bracciano, Anguillara Sabazia and Trevignano Romano. The lake is an important tourist attraction situated near Rome. As it serves as a drinking water reservoir for the city of Rome it has been under control since 1986 in order to avoid pollution of its waters. The use of motorboats is strictly forbidden (exceptions being made for a few professional fisherman and the authorities), and a centralised sewer system has been built for all the bordering towns in order to avoid any spoiling of the water quality. This makes Bracciano one of the cleanest lakes of Italy. The absence of motorized navigation (apart from police boats) favours sailing, canoeing and swimming. In the last few years the lake and its surroundings have been brought under further protection by the creation of a regional park, the Parco Regionale del complesso lacuale di Bracciano Martignano.

Designer Brands Olive Lip Butter
If you are a fan of The Body Shop lip butters then you are going to love these. They're better than The Body Shop version and they're a fraction of the price! Designer Brands Lip Butters only cost $4.99 (AUD).
At the moment I have the Olive flavour. It sounds like a strange flavour but it smells and tastes like fresh green apples. I find my Olive Lip Butter to be a lot more moisturising than The Body Shop Version. It gives my lips a lovely shine and lasts for a few hours before I need to reapply. It also does a great job of keeping my lips hydrated, soft and smooth.
There are four flavours available, coconut, mango, pomegranate and olive.
Would I buy this? Yes, I'll be repurchasing this when I run out.
Ingredients: glycine soja oil, cocos nucifera oil, ricinus communis seed oil, cera alba, peg-8, eeswax, aroma, silica, hydrogenated castor oil, butyrospermum parkii butter, mangifera indica extract, theobroma cacao butter, sucralose, tocopheryl acetate, ci 77891, aqua, pentaerylthrityl tetra-di-t-butyl, hydroxyhydrocinnamate.
3 comments :
My lips become dry even in summer. I like the product review. I will try this Lip butter.ReplyDelete
Are the scents very strong? Because the lip balms from the Body Shop always had a horribly strong scent that made me nauseous D:ReplyDelete
I don't find the scents of Olive to be strong, and it fades pretty quickly once I've put it on.ReplyDelete

Higher seminar in theoretical philosophy: Markku Leppäkoski
Plats: D700
Aristotle's modal syllogisms, metaphysics and modal logic
Contemporary interpretations of Aristotle's modal syllogisms frequently employs tools of modern modal logic. But do these devices really represent what Aristotle meant by "necessarily" and "contingently (possibly)"? A significant source of confusion is Boethius's translation of the Prior Analytics into Latin about 500 A.D. In the translation, Boethius gives a fatally misleading interpretation, which has formed the understanding of Aristotle's modal syllogisms ever since. I try to make clear what Aristotle's modal syllogisms are about. It is a logic of predication – and nothing else – which can only be understood against the background of Aristotle's essentialist metaphysics, and the epistemology based thereupon.

To Get The Job Done
How to Keep unwanted weeds Out of Your Duarte Garden This SummerNothing is more annoying than working hard to keep your garden and yard looking perfect, only to get overrun by weeds. Whacking and pulling unwanted weeds by hand is backbreaking work that can take several hours to complete. What's worse, just when you think you have dealt with the problem, the unwanted weeds grow back. These tenacious pests are resistant by nature, so in spite of your best efforts, they often find a way to sprout up again and again. There are other methods you can try to clear aggressive your yard, but not every form of weed control is created equal. Here are some tips on picking the treatments your lawn or garden:
Spray Weeds AwayFor weed problems that aren't too extreme, you should be able to find a weed killer that is a helpful product wherever you typically buy your landscaping supplies. The more popular synthetic chemical weed killers come in the form of sprays. It is important that you consult a store associate before choosing a weed kill product. Some products can be harmful to other plants, native animal life, or pets so you will want to be careful not to introduce these products into your yard.
Hire a Professional in DuarteYou might consider hiring a professional weed control service if you're dealing with a substantial weed problem in your yard. A reputable weed control company in Duarte has access to a number of broad leaf weed control treatments and other products that you will not find at your local hardware store. Upon hiring a professional, you might want to discuss creating a fertilization schedule for your lawn as well. A flourishing lawn is better able to defend itself from intrusive plants. Dandelions and other unwanted weeds simply are not able to complete with grass that has thicker, healthier roots.
Soil SterilizationSoil sterilization is an intriguing method of cleansing soil of unwanted weeds, fungus and insects. The process includes heating the soil to a very high temperature, essentially killing off any seeds, insect eggs, and other unwanted elements. This method is applied in large-scale farming by utilizing UV rays, or in some cases, a slash and burn technique. However, you can practice soil sterilization at home on a much smaller level. Potting soil can be heated in an oven or microwave prior to being used for planting. This will ensure that any pests present in the soil, including weed seeds, will be neutralized giving your plants the best possible chance to thrive.
Weed Prevention is the medicine that is bestLast but not least, you can help prevent unwanted weeds from sprouting up by incorporating ground cover in strategic areas of your garden. Before you begin planting in a new area, consider incorporating a layer of landscaping fabric underneath your topsoil. Cut a hole in the fabric for each plant that allows them ample room to grow. Garden fabric will prevent weed seeds hiding in your soil from germinating. Other options for ground cover include mulch and wood chips. When laid generously around plants and shrubs, they help prevent weeds from growing with the added benefit of adding some interest to your garden's aesthetic.
Weed Control
Weed control is the application of EPA-approved chemicals to kill existing weeds and to prevent new weed growth.

"If you are the smartest person in the room, then you are in the wrong room." - Confucius
"Tomorrow will be better day" <- that mantra carried me for my whole childhood. I never lost my whole hope. Sure there was points when i was ready to give up. But cause my life has not been the easiest one, i needed something what i can say to myself over and over again and "tomorrow will be better day" was the one, what i picked. Also i made deal with myself that every day is good day. If someone ruined my day, it was just that day. Next day is always good day (well doesn't work 100%, but helps). So yeah, happiness isn't just there, you need choose it. You need work for it. It doesn't just come to you, without any effort. If we just wait for better times without trying, we can't reach it.
And depression is something what comes without reason, so don't worry. Your down mood has reason and that's why it is easier to fix. Depression rarely has reason, it is metal health issue without reason.
So, talk with someone, talk here, talk with family member, talk in some online help place what your country has. Just don't stop talking and you will get through for this. There is always better day in future. Maybe you can't see it rn, but believe me, there is. It could be far away rn, but some day you will reach it. And yes, it is worth of waiting.

Growtopia is a cruel game and I learnt that lesson way too many times to count. You know what I did when my 'bestest friend' in gt scammed me? I took a break - Meaning I left the house, I went to eat, I went for a walk in a park that's close to my house, I called up my closest irl friends who actually care about me and I hung out with them. We went to bowl and watched movies. So for 2 years( plus or minus a few months) I didn't play this game and life felt great. So the moral of the story here is get off growtopia and do other things that are make productive. Gws <3
royal locked trade world owners are big dumb
don't change my mind
kinda common is this new, stressful generation. I myslef know quite few of my close buddies who also suffer from it, and it can be quite troublesome for most people. Try consulting your parents, friends or anyone you feel confident sharing your problems with. If that doesn't work, try taking it easy from all the stress in life, and go on a vacation or feild trip with your family or your close buds. That amount of fun is sure to put your mind back in it's place! .
Depression is a serious problem that can also lead to far worse cases if not treated immediately, so try your best to get rid of it before it's too late, and it becomes too hard to deal with. Good luck bruh, and may the force be with you!.

Consent for Dermal Filler (Juvederm, Restylane, Radiesse) Injection
Indications – Dermal filler injections are given to correct facial wrinkles and/or for lip augmentation. Juvederm, Restylane (Perlane) and Radiesse have been approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for correction of facial wrinkles. I understand that the safety and effectiveness of treating facial areas other than the nasolabial folds has not been studied; however, dermal fillers have been used to enhance the appearance of lips and other areas in over 60 other countries. This "off-label" aspect of the treatment has been explained to me.
Alternatives – There are alternatives to dermal filler injections, including no treatment, collagen for lip or other facial soft tissue augmentation, and cosmetics, Botox / Dysport, laser skin resurfacing, chemical peels, or plastic surgery for wrinkle reduction.
Results – I understand that the actual degree of improvement cannot be predicted or guaranteed. Furthermore, I understand that the effect will gradually wear off and additional treatments may be necessary to maintain the desired effect.
Side effects and complications include but are not limited to:
• Potential allergic reaction. As with any product, allergies can develop during or after injection.
• Injection site reactions: a lumpy or "thick" feeling at or just under the skin, bruising, redness, itching, pain, tenderness, or slight swelling.
• Injections into the lip area could trigger a recurrence of facial cold sores (Herpes simplex infections for patients with a history of prior cold sores.
• Ulcerations secondary to arterial occlusion, and resulting scarring
• Permanent BLINDNESS
Precautions and contraindications:
• Dermal fillers are not recommended for patients with severe allergies, previous history of dermal filler allergy, or a history of anaphylaxis.
• The risk of bruising or bleeding may be increased by medications with anticoagulant effects, such as aspirin and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (e.g., Ibuprofen, Aleve, Motrin, Celebrex), high doses of Vitamin E, and certain herbs (Ginkgo Biloba, St. John's Wart).
• The safety of dermal fillers in pregnant or breast-feeding women has not been established, and is therefore not recommended for these women.
I understand the need for local anesthesia to reduce the discomfort of the procedure and consent to the topical application of anesthetic gel and/or injections for a nerve block or local infiltrative anesthesia. I understand the above, and have had the risks, benefits, and alternatives explained to me, and have had the opportunity to ask questions. No guarantees about results have been made. To the best of my knowledge, I am not pregnant, and I am not breastfeeding. I give my informed consent for Juvederm, Restylane (Perlane), or Radiesse injections today as well as future treatments as needed.

Metabolism, also known as Basal Metabolic Rate, is defined as the energy needed to sustain the body while resting in normal temperature conditions. The digestive system is not very active when the body is at rest. Therefore an increased metabolism makes the body an efficient fat and calorie burner. Metabolic boosters assist in enhancing the metabolic rate of the body.
Foods that help boost metabolism
- Vegetable such as asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, cucumber, tomatoes, spinach, spicy peppers, jalapeno's, sweet potato and avacado
- Fruits such as apple, berries, grape fruit, oranges, lime, lemon
- Beans, chick peas, lima beans,
- Spices such as garlic, curry powder and cinnamon
- Other foods include flax seeds, olive oil, fish, eggs, oats, almonds, yoghurt, soymilk, peanut butter, cottage cheese, cocoa, coffee, soups, turkey and green tea
Food and their properties
- High fibre non starchy vegetables such as cabbage, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, asparagus, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, celery, and peppers are the best metabolism boosters as they have the most thermogenic (heat producing) properties. These foods that burn fat and calories also aid in regulating metabolism.
- Green tea is rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Polyphenols have antioxidant like characteristics that is believed to be the main ingredient that helps boost metabolism and aid in fat loss. The caffeine in green tea acts as a powerful stimulant that speeds up the heart and boosts metabolism.
- Cinnamon helps weight loss by controlling and lowering the blood sugar levels and also has thermogenic properties that speed up metabolism. When the metabolism speeds up, more calories are burnt consequently.
- Staying hydrated is essential as water is a great metabolism booster.
- Some of your metabolism is genetic but the rate can be effectively enhanced by exercising.
- Fasting for more than 12 hours can increase this rate by 40%.
- Proteins help in boosting metabolism.

It's not often we hear about an anniversary event for a DLC pack, but that's just what The Elder Scrolls Online is doing with the Orsinium anniversary event, which will mark the release's second year with a sale on the DLC as well as extra bonuses for players in the Wrothgar region.
The Orsinium DLC itself will be discounted for both editions, with a 75% price cut for the standard edition and 60% off the deluxe edition. The deluxe edition adds a Cave Bear mount, a Cave Bear Cub pet, and five Experience Scrolls on top of the Orsinium content.
For those who buy in or already have, the Wrothgar region will be host to a variety of increased rewards. Players can expect double rewards for completing dailies in the region, double rewards in both Normal and Veteran modes of Maelstrom Arena, and double items from crafting nodes in the area excluding those spawned from Survey Reports.
The frosty celebration will run from Thursday, November 16th starting at 10am EST until Monday, November 27th. More information can be read on the website and a trailer for the event is below.
Our Thoughts
It's a little bit baffling to mark the anniversary of DLC packs, but perhaps players of ESO feel that strongly about the Orsinium region? In any case, we're certainly not ones to balk too loudly at DLC discounts and ramped up in-game rewards.

Most of Minecraft fans dislike creepers as these creatures always destroy their achievement. But, there is a good chance for them to vanquish this creature forever! Kill the Creeper 2 comes back with more interesting traits that surely attract players at the first time! Discover now!
Of course, there is nothing more important than exploring the blocks and lead your enemy – the creeper – to the Lava water! You are allowed to break a number of blocks until the enemy falls down to the Lava. However, what makes this version slightly different from its first one is that avoiding Steve is also important. If you collide with him, the game stops and you must reset it. How cool it is!
Kill the Creeper 2 comes with 20 levels for players to challenge themselves. This is a wise opportunity to say goodbye to this creeper forever!

Buyout firm Carlyle Group LP on Wednesday posted quarterly earnings that topped expectations while rival Apollo Global Management LLC's profits matched estimates as risk-taking investors facing a low-interest rate environment poured more money into their funds.
The strong results from Carlyle and Apollo mirrored a broader industry trend as a rising stock market boosted overall returns, offsetting a 9 percent fall in oil prices last quarter that dragged on the performances of some funds.
Even though U.S. buyout fund returns have fallen to around 15 percent after accounting for manager fees, from the 20 percent range seen in the 1990s and at the turn of the century, the low interest rate environment has reduced returns elsewhere and left private equity as a stand-out investment.
"Why are people giving so much money to us? Because they see everything else as less attractive," said David Rubenstein, co-chief executive officer of Carlyle, which attracted over $8 billion in new money in the second quarter.
Washington-based Carlyle said its funds gained 5 percent between April and June, outpacing a 2.6 percent increase in the S&P 500 stock index .SPX.
That helped to lift performance fees, or fees earned from generating investment returns, to $299 million on a net basis, more than twice what was posted a year ago.
As a result, Carlyle's economic net income (ENI) more than doubled to $274.8 million after taxes from a year earlier.
That translated into ENI of 81 cents per share after taxes, well above analysts' estimates of 41 cents per share, Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S showed.
ENI is a crucial performance measure for U.S. private equity firms that accounts for unrealized gains or losses in investments.
Distributable earnings, which show cash available to pay dividends, stood at $199 million, or 56 cents a share, down from $288 million a year ago but up from $55.4 million in the first quarter.
Carlyle peer Apollo reported second-quarter ENI of $183.5 million after taxes, or 46 cents per share, matching estimates, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Apollo said its private equity investments only gained 1.9 percent in the quarter, partly because the fall in oil prices hurt performance.
Still, the New York-based fund managed to raise $24.6 billion for its ninth flagship buyout fund last quarter, the largest ever for a private equity fund by any firm.

ICC Global Survey on Trade Finance 2016
A detailed statistical analysis of the regional and global trends in trade and trade finance, followed by a digest of the latest trends in the support of trade operations by export finance, export insurance, forfaiting, factoring, as well as multilateral development banks, and views on the growing relevance of digitisation developments and the importance of financing trade sustainably.
The report findings portray a worsening global shortage of trade finance, in particular due to a growing number of banks concerned about ability to finance global trade, SMEs taking up almost 60% of the total trade finance transactions rejected and the perceived acute shortages of trade finance in Africa.

Schwartzel cards sparkling 63 to lead SA Open
A sparkling eight-under 63 catapulted Charl Schwartzel into the lead halfway through the second round of the SA Open on Friday.
The score he posted proved so competitive the late starters made little impression as Schwartzel held on to the lead by the completion of the round.
He put the Bushwillow layout to the sword with a blemish-free round that included six birdies and a dramatic eagle.
"It was one of my worst tee shots of the week so far'" Schwartzel said about the tee shot on the 17th.
"I figured if I could walk off with four or five that would be good. I managed to hit a good little third shot there. They don't happen very often'" he said about his 70m chip.
Schwartzel who had been at a loss to explain why results of late have not been commensurate with the quality of this play' still shrugged his shoulders at the completion of a round that was by some distance the best among the men at the top of the leaderboard.
"I still haven't figured it out. I've played well and I'm not going to talk too much because I have lots of golf to play.
"All I know is I'm playing well and I'm driving the ball well. I haven't been doing that consistently. I played better yesterday than today but then conditions were harder today.
"It is always nice to be in contention. It's nice to feel that I'm playing well on courses that I am familiar with. I'm looking forward to the weekend."
Schwartzel is shot clear of Zambia's Madalitso Muthiya' who followed up his impressive opening round 63 with a 68 on the Bushwillow layout.
One shot further back were American Kurt Kitayama and the South African pair Zander Lombard and overnight leader Louis Oosthuizen.
Kitayama' who tied the course record with a 63 on Firethorn in the opening round' could not replicate the magic.
He negotiated the Bushwillow course in an underwhelming 69. He however would have been mightily relieved to drain a long range par putt on the last after overcooking his escape from the greenside bunker.
Despite the fact that he has hit 40m longer than the average drive this week' the blustery conditions frustrated the American.
"It's playing pretty tough with this wind. I had trouble getting it close' you know' finding the right distances' it was just tough to adjust'" he said.
"I was able to grind out a couple under' stay in it and get into the weekend. That's where I want to be.
"Mentally' you just want to stay in it' even though you're mentally tired' after last week. It was nice to stay in it and not let the bad shots affect me too much and eventually pull out a decent round.
"It's a great position to be in but I still have 36 more holes to play. But right now I'm just trying not to think about it too much."
Lombard played himself into contention despite a poor start.
"My start was an absolute shocker. I was up against a tree and I chipped out and hit it short from 80 yards and it spun 15 yards into the water'" he said.
"It was downwind' I couldn't believe it. But I hit a poor chip but at least I kept my cool and had a bounce-back birdie and had a solid round from there.
"I think the biggest thing is that old cliché of sticking to your process."
Unlike Schwartzel he eagled the 17th in more conventional fashion after a booming drive and a pinpoint cut three-iron onto the green.
South Africa's Jbe Kruger and Zimbabwe's Mark Williams are three shots off the pace' while South Africa's Branden Grace and England's Matt Wallace are four shots adrift.
The cut was set at two-under' which means the youngest ever player in SA Open history' Yurav Premlall' will play over the weekend. The 15-year old shot an impressive 67 on Friday.
