Our Services
NYC MEDP aims to help promote local materials exchanges and reuse centers, and encourage their long term sustainability by providing a wide range of free services, including:
Donation Referral Service: NYC WasteMatch
NYC MEDP's WasteMatch program is an online materials exchange service that matches generators/donors of reusable "waste" and surplus materials to users/recipients. Often, the WasteMatch program works to match businesses looking to donation with nonprofits looking for donations. In the process NYC WasteMatch helps clients reduce disposal costs, generate revenue, and/or obtain raw materials for free or at low cost. As member service, organizational members of NYC MEDP are provided with managed account, which includes one-on-one service for those organizations looking eliminate excess inventory, or locate those hard to find donations. For more information, visit wastematch.org
Professional Development & Training
As per member suggestions, NYC MEDP has developed and implemented a variety of workshops and professional development training designed to assist reuse professionals and organizations in developing and improving their operations. These include:
The NYC Materials Exchange Certificate Program
This program is a series of eight interactive workshops that provide FREE professional development training for administrative staff and associates of reuse programs. This program includes sessions on: Goal Setting & Program Design; Board & Volunteer Management; Marketing; Tax, Risk and Liability; Budgeting & Fundraising; Warehousing & Logistics; Reuse Retail Management; and Program Evaluation & Outcome Measurement.
The Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act
As of August 14th 2009, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) signed into effect the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in response to hazardous materials found in the making of toys. This piece of legislation specified the unlawfulness of selling recalled products. Additionally, children's products cannot be sold if they contain more than 300 parts per million (ppm) total lead, even if they were manufactured before August 2009.
How familiar are you and your organization with the CPSIA? Are you aware of what kinds of screening you need to ensure compliance? Because resellers that sell products in violation of the new limits could face civil and/or criminal penalties, the effects of this law on the reuse sector can be potentially great. This workshop is intended to educate Sector Members on the existing laws affecting materials donations and sale and the ways to protect their organizations from violations.
Don't Let the Donated Bedbugs Bite
Bed bugs have increasingly become a topic of concern throughout the reuse sector, yet very little is known about them. While their name implies the habitat of these pests, the name may be misleading. These blood-feeding insects do not inhabit strictly mattresses. Bed bugs are most commonly spread, unknowingly, by the transportation of clothing, luggage, furniture, and bedding; even inhabiting small cracks in walls and flooring. In addition, according to the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, bed bugs can even live for several months without feeding. This educational workshop, developed by NYC MEDP in collaboration with the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, will focus on the NYC bedbug epidemic, as well as preventative practices and extermination methods, and what every Reuse Sector Member needs to know in order to protect themselves and their organization.
OSHA Warehouse Standards Seminar
This interactive workshop is co-facilitated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and NYC MEDP will review the safety standards that all materials reuse programs need to know about safety standards, code compliance and best practices.
Promotional Services
For it's members and affiliates NYC MEDP offers a series of services and resources for the purpose of promoting, educating and generating awareness of both the benefits of materials reuse and related environmental issues, as well as on the ceaseless work carried out by the organizations that manage the City's reuse, recycling and environmental education industry.
Such resources include:
The NYC Reuse News
NYC's only newsletter dedicated to all things reuse
The NYC Reuse Directory
An online resource profiling members of NYC MEDP's Reuse Network
NYC MEDP's website & social media, which provides valuable up to date information about regular news, events, job opportunities, and a catalog of online resources for members
Research & Development
NYC MEDP began in 2004 as venue for Research & Development on the NYC Reuse Sector, an activity which continues to be an integral part of its operations. Beginning with the comprehensive first-of-its-kind assessment of the NYC Reuse Sector in 2004, NYC MEDP helped highlight the wide range of organizations which facilitate the redistribution of reusable materials and the vastly diverse material handled within NYC. This assessment also helped NYC MEDP more fully understand the diverse venues by which the sector redistributes materials, including virtual and onsite materials exchanges, thrift stores, creative reuse centers, social services, and charitable donations programs. In additional, this initial research project established the foundation for development of NYC MEDP as a membership network, providing programs and services which a designed to support the NYC Reuse Sector.
NYC MEDP currently continues its Research & Development in two of its major ongoing projects:
NYC Reuse Sector Data Management Project (DMP)
The goal of NYC MEDP's Data Management Project is to develop a system that will use data provided by individual NYC MEDP Members to describe their environmental, social and economic impact. This is a FREE service for members in order to provide them with a resource for their marketing, reporting and advocacy endeavors. For more information contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
NYC Reuse Sector Transportation & Logistics Project (TLP)
As with the DMP, The NYC Reuse Sector Transportation & Logistics Project is a result of consistent member feedback from NYC MEDP Members regarding sector-wide challenges and needs. An ongoing collaborative project, the TLP is aimed at creating an informational and technical resource for the purpose of expanding the transportation capacity of NYC Reuse Sector. This project, central to NYC MEDP's activities, encompasses collaboration with member organizations, members of the Department of Civil Engineering at the City College of New York, the Department of Sanitation's Bureau of Waste Prevention, Reuse and Recycling, and members of the commercial trucking industry. For more information contact: email@example.com
Networking Opportunities
NYC MEDP is home to New York City's Reuse Network, a community of organizations working together to facilitate, educate and support the redistribution of second-hand or reusable materials within NYC. These organizations range from thrift stores to green building and deconstruction companies; as well as, advocacy groups; charitable drives; social service organizations; ecology centers; and creative arts programs. While network members may vary widely in their overall missions and size, the commonality of all these organizations is their work in preventing valuable resources from ending up in the waste stream. NYC MEDP provides a center for this community to meeting and network in a variety of different venues, including:
Annual NYC Materials Reuse Sector Conference
The Annual NYC Reuse Sector Conference is the first city-wide conference dedicated to materials exchange and reuse. The purpose of this event is to provide an opportunity to discuss best practices, weigh in on sector strategies, and network with other organizations.
NYC Reuse Directors Roundtable
The Reuse Directors Roundtable is a quarterly meeting, seeking to bring together leaders of the NYC Reuse Sector in order to discuss the issues facing us both as individual organizations and as a group, and to work on mutually-beneficial solutions
NYC Reuse Bussiness Collective
The NYC Reuse Business Collective is a network dedicated to developing, connecting and improving organizations that help support their missions from the retail sale of reusable items. Chaired by Robert Crocker, Director of Catholic Charities Community Services Thrift Store and Materials Exchange, the NYC Reuse Business Collective focuses its efforts on sharing best practices; increasing foot traffic and profitability; strategic partnerships and collaborative marketing.
Focus Groups & Strategic Partnership Committees
A platform for interested members to discuss best practices and organize partnership committees within the sector ultimately to strategize collective solutions and program. These groups form the strategic base and core of reuse sector collaborations, and many of NYC MEDP's city-funded programs and services have begun as member driven committees.

"There is a terrible desperation to the increasingly pathetic rationalizations from the climate denial camp. This comes as no surprise if you take the long view; every single undone paradigm in history has died kicking and screaming, and our current petroleum paradigm 🐉🦕🦖 is no different. The trick here is trying to figure out how we all make it to the new ⚡ paradigm without dying ☠ right along with the old one, kicking, screaming or otherwise." - William Rivers Pitt

Subgingival calculus formation in these populations occurs coincident with periodontal disease (although the calculus itself appears to have little impact on attachment loss), the latter being correlated with dental plaque. Despite extensive research, a complete understanding of the etiologic significance of subgingival calculus to periodontal disease remains elusive, due to inability to clearly differentiate effects of calculus versus "plaque on calculus". As a result, we are not entirely sure whether subgingival calculus is the cause or result of periodontal inflammation. Research suggests that subgingival calculus, at a minimum, may expand the radius of plaque induced periodontal injury. Removal of subgingival plaque and calculus remains the cornerstone of periodontal therapy.Full Abstract.
Most of the periodontal pathogens are anaerobes but the biofilm can also harbour facultative aerobes, capnophiles and microaerophiles whose number depends on the environment in the developed biofilm and periodontal pocket. Most periodontal pathogens represent the true periodontal infection. Some bacterial species in the periodontal environment that are part of the commensal flora (Actinomyces, certain Streptococcusand Staphylococcus spp.) can provoke opportunistic infections in case of ecosystem disturbance. There is evidence that detection of certain enterobacteria, viruses and Saccharomyces spp. in the periodontal pockets could indicate superinfection associated with a periodontal destructive process. It has recently been generally recognized that periodontal diseases are mixed infections. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.5504/BBEQ.2013.0027

Through an interview with Mikio Ikemoto, Hiroyuki Nakano and Mr. Taguchi we learned that:
- Boruto takes inspiration primarily from Naruto Part 1.
- Ikemoto had freedom to handle character designs like he wanted to.
- Kishimoto is heavily involved with the series and defines most concepts and initial ideas while also supervising the work.
- The anime's stories are considered canon and are additional material until it is safe to adapt the manga. While Ukyo Kodachi is responsible for the anime's screenplay, Taguchi will supervise if anything that threatens the characterization of story occurs.

1 teaspoon salt
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, and 1/4 cup for sprinkling
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 large eggs
7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus 1 tablespoon for skillet
2 containers fresh blackberries (5.6 ounces each)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar. In another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and melted butter; pour over flour mixture, whisking to combine.
In a 10-inch skillet (preferably cast-iron), heat remaining tablespoon butter in the oven until melted and skillet is hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven; swirl to coat bottom of pan. Pour batter into skillet; scatter blackberries on top, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup sugar.

Taking a break from vacuum cleaners, Dyson has unveiled its new product, a hairdryer called the "Supersonic", launching it with online videos that fuse technological and design innovations.
By capturing the sensational first encounter between Dyson Supersonic and its users, a series of online videos were created in order to demonstrate such unique moments.
Personalities from various professions are blown by the Dyson Supersonic for the very first time. They include Jaycow the talented hat designer, Wyman Wong the lyric writer, Tina Liu the image guru, Kearen Pang the cross-media creator, Sev Tsang the hair styling master, Hilary Tsui the fashionista, AKA the alternative model, and Keen the Afghan hound.
"Hair dryer has gone unchanged since the 1960s, Dyson Supersonic is the hair dryer re-thought and it is only made possible with our perseverant invention spirit," said Tammy Ng, marketing director of Dyson Asia.
In addition, the campaign features other personalities such as yoga teacher, photographer, cake designer, makeup artist, editor, cat, dancer, Labrador, etc., each of them has at least two seconds of fame in the thematic video.
The videos are exclusively broadcasted on the official Dyson Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Starting today, the campaign is launched by introducing two 15 seconds video of two individual personalities, four days in a row. After stirring up the hype and anticipation, the campaign was followed by a 45 seconds all-star grand finale on Friday.
"What we want to create via the campaign is the genuine reaction when people interact with this Supersonic for the first time and how Dyson technology transforms our lives," added Ng. "As we are told on the first day of work - at Dyson we are all engineers, not marketers."

Whenever someone would ask me over the last few weeks, "Why are you going to Paris?", I'd almost always reply "to write". That much is true, a big part of coming here was to get away from the habits and distractions I would face at home. The greater reason, though, was a little too personal to interject into small talk.

I guess the whole point is, we can never know.
Are the little coincidences really coincidences? Or are they the universe trying to talk to us the only way it can, short of mailing us a FedEx package with a return address of "Universe" containing a note that says "Here's something you need to know…" ?
I suppose that's where faith comes in.

JWOC live with Lisa Risby.
Junior World orienteering championships
Junior World orienteering championships
Here we come with another champion, Lisa Risby, winner of long, second at middle. Another champion who had her ups and downs during JWOC and experienced a varied week here.Born: 6 July 1993
If I say JWOC 2013, what will come as the first thing to your mind?
That's a really hard question. Actually, I think, it will be the team. Maybe it's a standard answer, but actually, yes, it is the team. Sara (Sara Hagström – note), when she came into the finish after the long distance, said: "Lisa will win this!" They believed in me and that helped me really much.
Did they believe in you even more than in Frida? I think that she was said to be favourite more frequently, but surely it is difficult to make such judgements in advance and without good knowledge of the runners. And in the end, it might be a question of seconds or good luck ...
Frida has been more stable then me before, so she has had better results. But this spring I had a better flow in my orienteering so we became more or less on the same level. So I don't think that either of us was a greater favourite than the other; we both had the chance.
With what ambitions did you come to the JWOC? Did you believe you could take a medal?
Maybe I believed that I could do it, but at the same time I was really, really uncertain of what I was capable of doing, because there are people you never meet at competitions, so you can never be sure of anything. But I absolutely had it in my mind beforehand that I wanted it.
How many times have you visited Czech terrain during the preparation stages and how many times before (if ever)? Did you feel some of the types of terrain, and hence some of the disciplines, as more suitable for you than the others?
I was on one training camp before JWOC. When I first saw the terrain for the long distance I thought that it could be something for me; I'm used to a lot of hills from my home town Falun. I was more insecure about the middle distance because it demanded more technical skills, and I had been a bit up and down in my orienteering.
Did your training before JWOC pass according to your plans, with no injuries?
I could do exactly as I wanted to without any problems and soukroma inzerce prodej aut.
What is your strongest memory from the gold race in long distance?
:-) It must be the finish because the terrain was so hard and therefore you never thought you were running fast, so I was totally surprised when they said I was first. It was a complete shock! And it was a really nice feeling!
But having looked at the split times and route choices, there were some mistakes, not so small on posts 1 and 8, and smaller on some others (e.g. 3, 9, 10). So did the others make more mistakes - or are you stronger, do you think?
I think that it's easier to make mistakes in a JWOC than in competitions back at home. That's how I feel, because I'm more tense then usual and I want more out of it. But I think that my strength was that I didn't focus on the mistake and I didn't give up. I just ran as fast as I could.
After the gold race you said it would be very difficult to re-focus for the next races. So how did you manage to re-focus?
I really don't know, but I think that I just used the thought "I did it once and I want to do it again". And I just focused on that, and I used the gold medal to improve my self-esteem.
And the silver race in middle? It didn't seem from the beginning that you were running such a good race.
No, I wasn't, actually. To the fourth control and second control, I was quite well down. At the fifth control I saw Lucy Butt (she started 2 minutes after Lisa), and then I thought that if I don't run faster now I have no chance at all, so I just speeded up :-) .
And so what went wrong at the beginning? In some other interview you said that you were too passive, so were you not careful enough with the map reading at the beginning?
I was too passive at the beginning and made safe route choices, so my speed was just too low. If I could do it all over again I would focus less on small details and choose some big ones to be able to speed up. So I think that I had the wrong technical plan from the beginning.
It is just a speculation, but do you think that if Lucy hadn't appeared behind you, you really would have been slower and perhaps without medal?
Yes, that's probably true. If she had never appeared, I would have continued on too slowly.
What was your feeling on the start line of the sprint race? Did you want to increase your collection or in contrary, were you relaxed because you had already achieved big success?
Of course I wanted to have another good race. But I have never had good results in sprint, so I planned not to look at the definitions, to get more time for route choices and running. So now I've learned not to test something new at a championship!
Well, and so what happened there? We were quite unsure after looking at your map with your route choices ...
After the spectator control (13th) and passage through the arena I ran the course backwards (15th and then 14th) and I missed going to the 16th control. Sara did almost the same. I don't know what time I would have had if I had run correctly, but it would have been slower than what my time actually was at the finish. I think I became too stressed when I heard that I was 10 seconds behind the lead at the spectator control.
When did you realise that you had done something wrong - not until the finish, or did you conclude that it would take too much time to return, so that the result would anyway be useless, and you knew that you were not running to the 16th anymore?
I didn't know that I had done something wrong until I reached the finish.
I read on the OK Kåre website that sprint is your favourite discipline.
No, I think they hoped that I would have a good race so that it could be my new favourite distance :-)! I have not done anything good in sprint before. I was third in the Swedish championship, but I was almost half minute after the winner. So I was totally surprised at the spectator control in the JWOC race – it was amazing to hear it. And then I was quite mad… but it's all about those first ten minutes for me. Then I just thought "eleven seconds behind at the JWOC, I've never done anything like that". It just feels like I've improved very much this week, and I couldn't be sad.
Unfortunately, just on the day of the relay where Sara missed a control, you had your 20th birthday … but all was forgotten by the evening with the banquet, so you enjoyed a celebration?
Yes, of course I did. It was a pity that I couldn't run, but I was quite satisfied with the week overall. It was just sad for Sara that it happened. But in relays that kind of thing can happen.
Which terrain did you like the most?
That's hard. I really like it when it's hilly, and that's my favourite, but still it was really fun to run the technical middle. But I think the long, because I like to run and not to have to think all the time.
This was a huge improvement in your results from the JWOC 2012 to JWOC 2013. Last year 22nd place was the best for you. What have you done differently in preparation for this JWOC?
I think last year I was in really good shape, but I hadn't the mental part in place. I think this year I knew what to expect, I knew everything: I never needed to think of how the pre-start, the start and everything works. It went back to normal and it was just a regular race again. I just did everything as I am used to doing, whereas last year I thought I had to do something special…
Therefore was it enough that you simply did not need to face new situations during (or before) the race, or did you go through some mental training after the JWOC 2012? In some other interview, you said that you felt blocked in those matters in which you thought that you could be weak (for example plain running on track). What helped - just change of mental approach or did you improve physically in your weak points too?
I've got help from someone in my club to improve my route-choice skills and to be calm mentally. So I've worked hard with both the technical part and the mental approach. And I feel that I've made progress compared to last year.
How did you like the atmosphere here?
:-) Yeah, it was really nice. Many more people than last year. I liked it. I have enjoyed everything. And I really liked that it was on TV, I really liked it. It was really fun to see it afterwards.

This dress is my staple. Ask anyone in UBUD and they'll tell you I'm in my wings or I'm wearing this TUNIC or my 'Gone to GOA' Kaftan which is very similar. This dress is soooo good I have made it in 2 options for you – a beautiful soft Indian cotton crepe in white and also a gorgeous rami blend in off white/cream.
This dress is designed to uplift you and others and get you into your higher self – hence the name 'Be There With Bells On'! The style of this dress is simple and sophisticated and I originally created it because I am a kundalini yogi and we like to wear white! Why?

Its the perfect dress to say your prayers in and also to wear to kirtan. I featured little indian bells on the sleeves so you can shake along at kirtan – even if no one will give you a shaker!
Made ethically with love, this divine 'Be There With Bells On' Tunic also features hand sewn Swarovski crystal detailing on the right hand side to help you keep your chakras in balance. There's also a mala bead for you to set your own mantra and intentions for yourself so every time you wear your tunic you can be reminded to tune into the vibration you wish to create.

May, 1946. America is basking in hard-won peace and prosperity. The OSS has been disbanded, CIA does not yet exist. Rumors swirl about the Red Army massing tanks along the Elbe in East Germany.
Former OSS agent Hal Schroeder gets an offer from Global Commerce LTD to be a trade rep in Berlin. He flies to New York to meet his new boss. Hal's jaw drops when former OSS Chief Wild Bill Donovan strides in. Schroeder, who survived perilous duty behind German lines, says he is no longer interested in being a spy. General Donovan assures him that's not part of his job description.
Hal comes to doubt that when he meets his immediate superior in Berlin. It's Victor Jacobson, the case officer who sent him on repeated suicide missions in WWII.

What I didn't like about the book was the author's choice of words. I am a Christian and taking my Lord and Saviors name lightly I don't & I don't care to hear or read others do it either. Too many times in the book did the author use language that I very strongly feel was poor choice. Other than that is was a very good book.

2018 Tech Tip #9- Google Sheets
Tech Tip #9 - Google SheetsWhat is it?
Sheets is one of Google's many collaborative productivity tools, but it is for spreadsheets. Maybe it's because I am in the sciences, but spreadsheets have always been a personal favorite of mine. I love using Sheets to organize data, make data visualizations, create digital sign-in sheets and more. It is easy to use and like the rest of Google's suite, collaboration is at the core.
How do I get started?
- On a mobile device? Download the Sheets app. On a Chromebook/Mac/PC? Go to sheets.google.com
- Create a new Sheet using the plus sign.
- Give your Sheet a name and you can get started. There are some additional graphing features that work more effectively when you are not on a mobile device, but overall it is very robust.
- Tip - Start by using it to organize data. Once you get comfortable with that, dive into the advanced features.
- If you are a Docs user, try adding your Sheet into your doc rather than making a chart in Docs.

Yoho Statement on Obergefell v. Hodges Ruling
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Ted S. Yoho (R-FL-03) issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges:
"The Supreme Court's 5-4 decision today is a clear demonstration of legislating from the bench. The ruling today is disappointing not only for the fact that the court has now forced states to redefine marriage but it removes millions of Americans from the democratic process of choosing - for themselves - what defines marriage. While I personally hold a traditional view of marriage - between one man and one woman - the Constitution grants the People the ablity to decide whether or not to recognize same-sex marriage.
"Chief Justice Roberts makes a valid point in his dissent that I am sure is shared by many Americans, "Those who founded our country would not recognize the majority's conception of the judicial role…And they certainly would not have been satisfied by a system empowering judges to override policy judgments so long as they do so after a quite extensive discussion."
"With this type of legislating from the bench, what is the point of States' rights? If we continue to go down this path what would be the point of state elections and state legislatures? I'm deeply disappointed that the Supreme Court ruled against the Constitution twice in the last week. I agree with Justice Antonin Scalia when he stated in his dissent, "A system of government that makes the People subordinate to a committee of nine unelected lawyers does not deserve to be called a democracy."
"We cannot allow our Constitution to be eroded. I will continue to fight for States' rights and to stop this continued Federal power grab."
Congressman Ted Yoho serves on the Foreign Affairs and Agriculture Committees. He represents North Florida's 3rd Congressional District

Pro-market Macri wins Argentina presidency: exit polls
[BUENOS AIRES] Pro-market leader Mauricio Macri won Argentina's presidential runoff vote on Sunday, according to exit polls, heralding an end to 12 years of leftist government.
Exit polls broadcast by several television channels just after voting closed at 2100 GMT indicated that conservative Macri, 56, had beaten his left-wing rival Daniel Scioli, without giving a breakdown.
If the result is confirmed, the former chairman of Boca Juniors football club will become the most economically liberal president since the 1990s at the helm of Latin America's third-biggest economy.
Official results were due in the coming hours, but cheering, dancing crowds of Macri's supporters were already celebrating at his rally in a conference center on the outskirts of Buenos Aires.
"We have enormous expectations and 100 per cent confidence," said 27-year-old Sofia Matricali, a supporter at the rally of Macri's Let's Change coalition.
"The current government has run its course." Leaders in Scioli's camp had yet to react publicly, but the mood was downbeat at the city center hotel where his supporters were gathered.
Mr Macri climbed in the polls after losing closely in the first round vote on October 25 to Scioli, an ally of the combative outgoing president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.
That result forced Argentina's first ever presidential runoff.
Macri has capitalised on discontent among voters who said they were fed up after 12 years of rule by Kirchner and her predecessor and late husband, Nestor Kirchner.
With social welfare programs and protectionist economic policies, they won affection among poorer Argentines and mistrust among foreign investors.
Mr Macri has vowed to free up trade, liberalise the economy and negotiate with Argentina's foreign debtors.
His apparent victory would break the grip of Peronism, the broad populist movement that has dominated Argentine politics for much of the past 70 years.
"We have lived too long with Peronism," said Luis Nizzo, an 81-year-old retired engineer, after voting for Macri at a school in Buenos Aires.
"This has been the most corrupt government in Argentina's history." But Guillermo Juarez, 25, said he voted for Mr Scioli "because of everything they say about Macri - that he will take away support for working people and cut social welfare programmes."
Voting earlier, Mr Macri told a crowd of reporters and supporters: "It is a historic day that will change our lives."
Mr Scioli, an ally of Kirchner but closer to the political center, said that Macri's proposals threatened Argentines' welfare payments, salaries and industry.
Yet he too has admitted the need for certain financial reforms.
He called on voters to "choose the best path for social, economic and political stability," after casting his ballot.
The increasingly tense campaign was fought on shifting political ground in the vast South American nation of 42 million people.
Mr Macri proposed to immediately lift restrictions on imports and on US dollars. Analysts say he might struggle to push reforms through a hostile Congress.
His rise raised hopes among financiers, but fears among domestic businesses and poorer Argentines who have benefited from the social and trade policies of the combative outgoing president.
Cristina Kirchner had sharp words at times for foreign powers including the United States, and for Britain in the territorial dispute over the Falkland Islands, known in Spanish as Las Malvinas.
After a 2001 financial crisis in which Argentina was bailed out by the International Monetary Fund, the Kirchners presided over a spectacular turnaround, but the economy now seems to be flagging again.
Growth was relatively slow at 2.2 per cent in the first half of this year and inflation exceeds 20 per cent.

After a lifetime of being exposed to the sun, you're bound to have multiple consequences, including brown spots on your hands and face. Age spots, technically known as "solar lentigines," are well-defined, uniformly colored areas of brown or grayish pigment that generally show up on the hands, face, neck, and chest. Despite the name, these spots are not caused by age. Rather, they come from sun damage.
You can treat age spots several ways. Our Dermatologists use microdermabrasion, chemical peels, chemical spot treatments, laser treatments, and light therapy to lighten age spots. Some of these procedures require just one treatment; others take two or three sessions.
Always wear sunscreen after treatment to protect your healing skin from UV damage.
Age spots are the result of an excess production of melanin, or skin pigment. Skin aging, sun exposure, or other forms of ultraviolet (UV) light exposure, such as tanning beds, are all possible causes. You're most likely to develop age spots on the areas of your skin that receive the most sun exposure, including:
• your face
• the back of your hands
• your shoulders
• your upper back
• your forearms

You are hereNYT: OpEd: Our Unpaid, Extra Shadow Work
NYT: OpEd: Our Unpaid, Extra Shadow Work
-By Craig Lambert
October 29, 2011- The other night at the supermarket I saw a partner at a downtown law firm working as a grocery checker, scanning bar codes. I'm sure she earns at least $300,000 per year. Even so, she was scanning and bagging her purchases in the self-service checkout line. For those with small orders, this might save time spent waiting in slower lines. Nonetheless, she was performing the unskilled, entry-level jobs of supermarket checker and bagger free of charge.
This is "shadow work," a term coined 30 years ago by the Austrian philosopher and social critic Ivan Illich, in his 1981 book of that title. For Dr. Illich, shadow work was all the unpaid labor — including, for example, housework — done in a wage-based economy.
In a subsistence economy, work directly answers the needs of life: gathering food, growing crops, building shelters and fires. But once money comes into play, a whole range of tasks arises that do not address basic needs. Instead, such work may enable one to earn money and buy both necessities and, if possible, luxuries.
To do the work requires extra jobs, like commuting. The commuter often has to own, insure, maintain and fuel a car — and drive it — just to get to work and back. These unpaid activities ancillary to earning one's wages are examples of shadow work.
In the industrialized world, few of us live in a subsistence mode, so shadow work is ubiquitous: shopping, paying bills, housework. Digital technology — with its spam, e-mail, texting, smartphones and so on — is steadily ramping up the burden of shadow work for all whose lives revolve around its magnetic field.
Science fiction novels of a half-century ago dramatized conflicts between humans and robots, asking if people were controlling their technologies, or if the machines were actually in charge. A few decades later, with the digital revolution in juggernaut mode, the verdict is in. The robots have won. Although the automatons were supposedly going to free people by taking on life's menial, repetitive tasks, frequently, technological innovation actually offloads such jobs onto human beings.
The conventional wisdom is that America has become a "service economy," but actually, in many sectors, "service" is disappearing. There was a time when a gas station attendant would routinely fill your tank and even check your oil and clean your windshield and rear window without charge, then settle your bill. Today, all those jobs have been transferred to the customer: we pump our own gas, squeegee our own windshield, and pay our own bill by swiping a credit card. Where customers once received service from the service station, they now provide "self-service" — a synonym for "no service." Technology enables this sleight of hand, which lets gas stations cut their payrolls, having co-opted their patrons into doing these jobs without pay.
Examples abound, helping drive unemployment rates. Airports now have self-service check-in kiosks that allow travelers to perform the jobs of ticket agents. Travel agents once unearthed, perused and compared fares, deals and hotel rates. Shadow-working travelers now do all of this themselves on their computer screens. Medical patients are now better informed than ever — as a result of hours of online shadow work. In 1998, the Internal Revenue Service estimated that taxpayers spent six billion hours per year on "tax compliance activities." That's serious shadow work, the equivalent of three million full-time jobs.

text: EucharistIn the Catholic Church, the Eucharist is one of the 7 Sacraments. It entails partaking of bread and wine which are believed to be body and blood of Christ. The extent to which this is to be taken literally via Transubstantiation or symbolically has been a realm of debate in both the Catholic and the protestant church. One version of the Eucharist (Q) made allusion to fire and water: Sanguine namque agni servatur domus a percussione angeli, et aqua maris rubri extinguuntur inimici que sunt mysteria ecclesie Christi. http://info.wlu.ca/~wwwhist/faculty/cnighman/Eucharistia.pdf

Microsoft compares Natal to futuristic devices
Chris Lewis, VP of interactive entertainment business at Microsoft feels that the future is now, thanks to Natal.
According to Lewis, Natal is sort of like one of those things you saw in futuristic films. Yet, unlike those films – Natal is real, and will be here before you know it.
"Ten years ago we launched the original Xbox, and ten years on we are launching Project Natal, which will free people from the controller for gaming and entertainment," Lewis told MCV.
"It will work with every Xbox 360 and when you get to use it across different games and entertainment experiences it really is revolutionary. We've all seen similar things in films set in the future, but that future is here and will be on the shelves for Christmas."
Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together… mass hysteria!
Sorry. Lost train of thought there for a moment.
Natal will be on hand at E3, and Pat will be in the audience during the reveal so we should know in about three days time just how revolutionary it will be.

Who owns social customer service: Contact centers or social teams?
Do contact center agents have the right skills to handle social customer service or not?
The high-stakes realm of customer service now requires companies to map out a coherent strategy for social media-based customer service.
For some companies, this may mean re-evaluating the traditional role and responsibilities of call center agents. While they have traditionally been responsible for providing customer service over the phone, social customer service has often been handled by separate teams.
But increasingly, customers want real-time, high-touch, high-quality service wherever they are -- on Facebook or Twitter, on a company website, and from their smartphones.
"It's the age of the customer," said Forrester Research Inc. principal analyst Kate Leggett. "They control it by the touchpoint that they use, whether it's mobile or tablet or regular phone ... and social is part of that mix."
While social customer service is still a fraction of customer interaction in the contact center -- the average is about 10% for the companies interviewed for this story -- the fast-moving train of social customer interaction is growing. In mid-2012, Gartner predicted that engaging with customer inquiries via social channels would become "as important as phone and email" by 2014.
Those that don't, said Carol Rozwell, vice president and distinguished analyst at Gartner Inc., "will face the same wrath" as those that ignore phone calls today. And there is a real question about whether a division of labor between contact center agents and social teams could create too fractured a view of the customer.
A division of labor for customer service
Companies have made different decisions about how to bring social customer service into the contact center. Some see phone-based and social media-based customer care as requiring fundamentally different skill sets.
"Contact centers want people to do everything: answer texts to social media to phone calls," said Alesia Stochel, general manager at Viator Inc., a travel booking company with a global call center in Las Vegas. "I'm not a believer of that. I think it's a totally different skill set. My social media department handles social media. My contact center agents handle phone calls."
The call center uses a homegrown CRM system to document customer service interactions that include social media, email and phone calls. Stochel said that while teams are separate, the social team is embedded in the contact center so that agents can collaborate with them on customer service. "That's why the customer service social media team is in the contact center," she said. "So there is room for discussion and closely monitoring it so there's not that separation."
Because the company puts primacy on customer service and sees social as a growing channel, even executives have an eye on the social stream. "From the CEO to myself, we're monitoring it very closely to make sure there are no blunders going on," Stochel said. "We have all eyes on it."
By the same token, Viator's data from social media platforms is not yet integrated with its homegrown CRM system. And this may be the direction in which successful companies head to get a 360-degree customer view.
"It isn't bad to have different agents on different channels as long as the history is properly recorded and available to all agents irrespective of the channel," Forrester's Leggett said. "You need documentation of the whole history of any interaction," she said.
A combined view of the customer
Other companies see social customer care as part of a large company vision; they want to create a seamless customer experience regardless of channel. They combine contact center and social communication to create consistent service among channels, to build more passionate advocates for their products and because they can report back to the business using social metrics.
At Columbus, Ohio-based JackThreads, an online site for discounted private-label menswear, members of the contact-center agent team are also part of the social media customer-service team. According to David Tull, customer engagement manager at JackThreads, creating a consistent, engaged experience for customers has resulted in some agents -- though not all -- being trained to interact with customers regardless of the channel.
David TullJackThreads
JackThreads uses Conversocial, a cloud-based platform that aggregates social media interactions, which gives agents a consolidated view of all the interactions on various social platforms and prioritizes agents' follow-ups. "We don't have to hop around between different channels to find what we need," Tull said. It also "allows us to prioritize certain types of interactions based on keywords ... so it brings important service inquiries up to the top and prioritizes them," he said.
According to Tull, centralizing social customer service with other functions in the contact center creates a more unified and consistent customer experience and, ultimately, better customer service. "We don't want them to have such a wildly better experience on social than they do over phones that they stop trusting one channel," he said.
Delivering value to the business
According to Tull, agents' ability to tap into social media analytics, such as metrics on customer preferences and product suggestions, has been invaluable. He said that with analytics, the call center can provide invaluable data on customer preferences, products and the brand as a whole. JackThreads aggregates data from all its channels to identify opportunities, including sizing and fit adjustments to its private-label menswear, for example.
Forrester's Leggett agreed that the social environment can be a critical source of feedback in product innovation and crowdsourcing. Social media-generated data, she noted, can also address broken processes and make companies more customer focused. Customers can even take a product in a new direction.
While distinct roles and blended roles for contact center agents may continue to exist alongside each other, experts like Leggett said that there is no turning back from social customer care. Like it or not, social has permeated the contact center. "I see social agents moving more into the contact center -- whether you have specific teams of social agents dedicated to the social channels or blended agents," she said.
This reality may be partly because executives are finally deriving ROI from social platforms and their data. By feeding information about customer preferences to executives, JackThreads can potentially improve its business.
"We're not just a cost," Tull said of the contact center. "We want to be a revenue driver and a way the business can learn."

MoonAttic is a project crafted from love and will, a team of developers based all around the world, designing games that combine our melting pot of diverse cultures, influences and passions. Our challenge is to deliver new, breathtaking experiences for the players to lose themselves in; from the gamers for the gamers. MoonAttic is unlike anything you've ever seen: we focus on you, and we strive to create different, engaging environments filled with more adventures than you have ever dreamed of.
This job was posted over 30 days ago. This means the position is now most likely filled & no longer available.
Artists located Anywhere.
Posted by MoonAttic Games on
Hello! Right now i am looking for a game writer.
I am developing a horror game, still there is no team. Because from my many previous experiences the team fells apart for one reason - the story isn't even started and many people don't even have work to do for so much time, and they leave.
So now, my idea is to build the story and then get the team. But I'm really good at hiring, as I said, so it wont be a problem.
In my previous team there were only professional people.
But as soon as we are ready for development, even if the story isn't fully ready ill get the team. Because its not necessary to have the full story document. We just need something to develop.
My previous team was called MoonAttic Games, but I'm creating a completely new one
Also I have made a rough draft for the story, which you need to clean up, because im not a writer and maybe its written badly.
You mustn change anything, just clear it, and then we can start developing the story further.
The game will be a 3D first person, with high quality graphics.
Genre: horror-survival, adventure, action (the game will involve a lot of thinking so it should have sort of puzzles to solve)
We are aiming for 5+ hours of gameplay.
The game will have sequels (maybe prequels)
The game will have horror aspects like in Resident Evil 7
So the idea here is to deliver a true horror experience to the player.
As well as an emotional one.
What i mean is that the player should remember this game and not be able to wait for the sequel that will come.
We are aiming for a whole franchise.
The player should be confused and scared all the time.
I am looking for people with some experience in writing for games, but even if you havent written for games but feel confident in your game writing skills it is still okay.

Group A Review: Enough talent for Oman and Kuwait to bounce back
With the group stage now over, ESPN FC runs the rule over the teams that failed to progress to the quarterfinals of the 2015 Asian Cup.
Oman had a real mixed bag this tournament, but ultimately finished in third spot in Group A -- exactly where pundits predicted they'd be.
Kuwait had few moments to savour as the Asian Cup proved a continuation of the generally awful form they displayed at the Gulf Cup of Nations.
Star Men
It could have been such a different tournament had Abdulaziz Al-Muqbali buried his chance at the far post for Oman late on against South Korea. It was a moment which at once captured the potential and frustration of The Red Warriors during their time in Australia.
As it was, Al-Muqbali's strike against Kuwait earned Oman third spot in the group, which was where they deserved to be, so he gets the nod as the nation's best.
For Kuwait, it would seem strange to select an attacking player as the star of a team which scored just the one goal, but Aziz Mashaan caught the eye for his performance against South Korea.
Though he toiled without success against Australia when played out of position, the attacking midfielder posed plenty of questions of the Taeguk Warriors defence.
Oman -- Of course defeating rivals Kuwait to finish third was an important moment for Paul Le Guen's side, which makes it a clear highlight. However, Oman beat Kuwait 5-0 in November, so it came as no surprise. The organisation they showed against South Korea before succumbing to defeat was something they can take a lot of pride from.
Kuwait -- Similar to Oman, Al-Azraq performed so admirably against the might of South Korea, and really should have pinched a point from the game. Ali Al Maqseed only missed out on earning a draw by the width of the post in that clash.
The Kuwaitis also started the tournament brightly, snatching an early goal against the Socceroos to take a shock lead. Though they failed to hold on to their advantage, it was a bright point in an otherwise bleak time for Kuwaiti football.
- Duerden: Was this the best Asian Cup ever?
- Brooks: Brave Australia win maiden title
- Australia win first title defeating South Korea
- Wise: Milligan stars for Australia in the final
- Parkin: Son tops South Korea ratings
- Asian Cup Team of the Tournament
Low Points
It was a real shame that Oman did not test Australia when they had the chance. Not to take anything away from the energy and skill of the hosts, but Oman really failed to offer any sort of resistance or threat in going down 4-0.
Finishing was also a weak point, with numerous goalscoring opportunities wasted across the three games.
They could have caused the upset of the tournament had they held on against the Socceroos. Instead, Kuwait really did collapse in a heap, conceding four -- which, in honesty, could have been more.
Returning home without a point will also be a demoralising blow for this side, who would have taken so much from a draw with either South Korea or Oman -- instead they were on the end of harsh 1-0 lessons.
Where to from here?
One suspects the 2015 Asian Cup was one big lesson in taking chances for Oman.
After not capitalising on some really fierce work in their opening game, their campaign was soon over when they failed to put that same tenacity and discipline into their match with Australia.
In Al-Muqbali and Qasim Said, they have a couple of very talented players. In order to be a threat at this level, they will need to remain switched on at all times.
There's simply no hiding it: now is a tough time for Kuwait.
Murmurs of interference in Kuwaiti football from the royal family persist, while Nebil Maaloul was only appointed coach a few weeks before this tournament began.
There is plenty to fix, and the fact that the talented Bader Al-Mutawa saw so little game time did not help. A re-build is required here -- and that likely starts by improving their team spirit.

Build Reactive Websites with RxJS: Master Observables and Wrangle Events, in beta
June 27, 2018
Still struggling with front-end web development? Want to simplify your codebase, speed up your app, and cut down on a whole lot of headaches? Come get your copy of Build Reactive Websites with RxJS: Master Observables and Wrangle Events today, and master Observables in RxJS.
A note concerning versions: This beta version of the book covers RxJS 5, and all code is compatible with version 5 and previous. The book is being updated to RxJS version 6 before its final release, and a new beta with RxJS6 updates will be released shortly. As with all beta ebooks, you get all updates up to and including the final release, and all errata printing and updates for the life of that edition!
Build Reactive Websites with RxJS: Master Observables and Wrangle Events
The front-end world can be fraught with complexity. The RxJS library offers a solution: Observables. Observables merge other JavaScript asynch mechanisms such as callbacks and promises into a new way of looking at data. Instead of dealing with objects and keeping track of their state, Observables view asynchronous events as a stream. RxJS provides you the tools to manage, manipulate, and process Observables to simplify and speed up your front-end applications.
Never fear, you're in exactly the right place. Don't worry about getting stuck in a mire of theory. Start off with the basics, building small applications that illustrate deeper points. Take those building blocks and apply them to much more complex problems like handling asynchronous state and dodging race conditions before they happen. Once you've got a handle on complex problems, take a leap into architecture, discovering how to structure an Observable-based application both without a framework and in the land of Angular 2. After mastering Observables, switch gears to building a canvas-based game, demonstrating your deep understanding of the flexibility of Observables.
Master the Observable with RxJS, and make your asynchronous JavaScript code that much cleaner and simpler.
