More rejections over the last few days. But this morning, I got a rejection that made me a little happier - they enjoyed the writing, but they didn't feel they could work with the book. Still, they'd like me to send them future submissions.
I'm starting to wonder if some of the problem with The Dead Rise is the atheist aspect. Maybe that's a risky sell, especially now. I'm going to pull it back from querying for now and try focusing on the next two books; they're far more mainstream (and, according to Rebecca, reader-friendly. Which is another problem with The Dead Rise; it's a first novel by someone who majored in computer science. It's a little clunky.)

Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides district general hospital services to 390,000 people across two sites, Royal Preston and Chorley Hospitals.
The Trust required a reliable point-of-care (POC) service that had:
- an extensive range of blood gas parameters
- accuracy and quality of results
- high uptime and low calibration and verification times
- remote access (an essential component given that the Trust had two sites for the POC analysers)
- user training and eLearning
- and was cost-effective.
Radiometer was able to meet those requirements. The Trust subsequently awarded Radiometer with the contract to provide 17 ABL90 FLEX PLUS blood gas analysers and AQURE Enterprise POC data management system to the Lancashire Teaching Hospital's NHS Foundation Trust.
Quick, confident results 24/7
The 17 new ABL90 FLEX PLUS analysers are portable and quick to calibrate, and they deliver lab-accurate results in just 35 seconds from only 65 microliters of blood.
The fast results from small samples is a real benefit to patients and clinicians.
Robert Bolton, Lead Biomedical Scientist and POC Coordinator for the Pathology Directorate at the Trust, has been delighted with the speed of Radiometer's sampling and reduced calibration time since installation.
He states that, "Radiometer's solution has enabled us to process 300% more samples than expected. We are now able to handle an 11–12% increase in blood tests per 6 months."

text: Oh. My. Gosh. Today was wonderful. So relaxed and gorgeous. We woke up on time again, thank goodness! Ate breakfast which consisted of Nutella on rolls. And walked to The Accedemia to see The David! We sat and sketched at the Accedemia for an hour or so before heading out to the market. Brandy and I got some great leather goods and I practiced my bartering skills! Later we walked and met the group outside the Uffizi Gallery and enjoyed some time catching up. After visiting the Uffizi Gallery Brandy and I walked back to the hotel, and let our feet rest while talking about the trip and looking at photos for hours. We were laughing so hard at the ridiculous candid photos Sean likes to take of us, which usually involve one eye being closed or my tongue sticking out. Haha. After my feet stopped crying in pain we went to go look for notes that one of Brandy's sweet friends had left for her around the city! It sounds like something out of a movie. Hunter (Brandy's friend) sent her clues to where the notes were hidden for her to find. It was a neat idea and kind of reminded me of the "you are beautiful" installments Slagle had told us about earlier. The piazzas were too crowded to properly search for the notes so we decided to head back towards the Uffizi to get dinner overlooking the Arno river. After much walking and scoping out the best restaurant we sat down and enjoyed the breeze and Italian food. I got chicken and mozzarella which was delicious. Oh my goodness. I ate everything on my plate which, if you know me at all, rarely happens. After we got our check paid we walked back over the Ponte Vecchio and watched the sunset over the Arno river. How romantic ;) we enjoyed some gelato and met a nice couple from LA who happened to have relatives in SC. We took turns taking photos of each other and had a nice conversation! There was a wonderful little local band playing on the bridge, they played American songs that reminded me of home and made Brandy and I remember how much we love the states. On the way back from dinner and watching the sunset, we found one of Hunter's notes! It was exciting and sweet to find. Today was a good day. (Ice T reference, anyone?)

text: Helium 22 Report post Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Ok, I checked BOM and availability of parts here and there and it seems feasible to build but at enourmous price, almost prohibitive for own use. I guess ttl quantity of listed obsolete parts in whole universe is enough to build 10 units more of this thing. Maybe 15 (provided they are not 'wasted' for other projects). Then they will be depleted forever. I may be missing somehow but last year you mentioned: ===== diy-t2 with current production parts testing now obsolete fets 2sj79/2sk216 replaced with ksa1220/ksc2690 and 2sa1486 replaced with stn9360 ===== How about the progress? I guess board have to be redesigned to accomodate new parts. Edited September 27, 2017 by Helium 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the organizational the maintenance of the employment relationship is the key practice that is governed under the Human Resource Department. It is the duty of the human resource department to maintain employment relationship in organization and securing the employment rights of individuals (Kibling and Lewis, 2000). The scope of employment relationship is quite vast and it has legal and organizational context both in interrelated manner. In order to maintain the employment rights this report is developed on behalf of a Human Resource Assistant who has been recently employed.
The report is to be submitted to the line manager in order to advise him on the subject of employment relationship and its impact on organizational activities. In the report legal advice has been proposed in relation to termination of employment and discrimination related issues. In the end of the report some crucial comments have been made related to health and safety aspects of employees and impact of the human rights on the employment relationship.
Employment law of the UK can be considered as wider aspect, which can be considered originated from differentiated sources. In the UK, basically there are three major sources of employment law, namely the common law, statute and European law (Kidner, 2014). The European law can be directed to be in the form of both European Directives and decisions of the European Court of Justice. The discussion and examples of these sources of employment law can be presented as below: Common Law
The prime source of the employment law in the UK is the common law. It is because that almost all the employees within the UK, sign contract with their respective employer before getting into the employment contract. For the purpose of providing legal basis for this contract, as well as, relationship between employee and employer on the basis of this contract, the role of common law becomes quite vital (Kidner, 2014). Under the span of common law, the law of trot is liable for addressing issues such as liabilities of employers and responsibilities of employees in the UK.
Another crucial sources of employment law in the UK are statues. After the year 1970, there were many statutes, which are directed to protect the rights of employees. Some of the major example of statues which can be considered as the sources of employment law of the country can be illustrated as below :
The European law can also be considered as one of the major source of employment law within the country. This law comes under the actions in the conditions when the domestic laws of the UK are not able to address the issues or the case conditions falls under the territory of the EC treaties. In the case in which, one party belongs to the European Union; the decision of the case directly comes under the territory of European courts.
As per the conditions of the case, it is the legal and contractual right of the plumber to get adequate amount of remedy or compensations for his injury.
Employment institutions where the trial can be held for the individual:
As per the employment law and its related structure prevailing in the UK, the employee can take action against the contractor in Employment tribunals. This institution is the effective avenue for the employee to register his case as this the first milestone for the hierarchy of court and legal system. All the individual employment rights related cases are held within in employment tribunals of the country. It is an efficient place, as the employee can also appeal against the decisions made by such tribunals in Employment Appeal Tribunal (EAT) (Turner, 2013).
Further appeals can be registered at the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. However for this purpose, there is a need of having permission of EAT.
Employment is an agreement between an employer and an employee which bond them in an employment contractual relationship. In a contractual relationship, there are considered several processes and practices. For employees, it is the duty of an employer for having contractual relationship to provide the appropriate and required training. In the contractual relationship, the employer holds certain obligations under the Employment Relations Act that the employer has to meet. For instance in the first case, John was provided proper training by A/C company to help him accomplishing his duties, while in the other case, BBM company does not meet the obligations defined under the employment contract.
The Employment Relations Act in this relations governs that the first company named A/C has not meeting the contractual relationship in a good manner with John, while BBM company does not following the guidelines of this act and hence violating it and not securing its employment relationship in legal premise (Constantinos Parissis, 2000). The contractual relationship of both the companies is different in nature as one is fully abide with the legal for maintaining the contractual relationship, while the other company does not abide with them and hence maintain no contractual relationship with employees.
There are two forms of employment relationships that is the employee and the contractor
After being a member of the European Union in the 1973, Britain has to make some significant changes in its overall legal status. In regard to this, there are several crucial acts and legal obligations that have been added within the legal infrastructure.
For example, The Working Time Regulations 1998, The Equality Act 2010, The Agency Workers Regulations 2010, The Part Time Employees (Prevention of less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000, Equal Pay – rights under The Equality Act 2010, Health and Safety Act, TUPE (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) regulations 2006, and Collective Redundancy Consultation in the Trade Union and Labour Relations Act 1992 have been introduced after the inclusion of Britain in the European Union (Foster, 2014).
These all the crucial European Union legislation can be considered quite crucial in making the employment relationship within the country more effective and positive. These all the legislation has directed all the activities undertaken by employers within the country towards making the relationship stronger with employees. In this regard, the employment relation within the country has also become quite systematic and regulated. Now, the laws and legislation have changed policy directions for the organization in order to remove all the critical issues related to employee relations within the country.
A contract between employee and employer can be terminated due to several crucial reasons. In different situations, the reasons and methods of the termination of employee contract can be differ from the other one.
|Gross Misconduct
|Cession of work or business relocation
|Constantly degradation by the employer
|In the case of gross misconduct, employee will be on faulty side. In this case, if the employee found indulged with any kind of misconduct such as Theft or fraud, Sexual harassment, Violent behavior, and Criminal activity, the employer can terminate the employment contract on the spot without placing any notice. In the case of employee misconduct, the employers do not have any liability to provide any legal justification to the employee for this termination (Small Business.co.Uk, 2014).
|In the case of cession of work or business relocation, there is no fault from the side of the employee. In this case, the employer needs to give legal notice with proper legal justification of termination. Along with this the employer also needs provide any financial remedies and compensation for the losses borne by the employee due to the termination of the contract. In this case the prime reason behind the termination is from the side of employer as due to the cessation of the work or relocation of the business, it is not able to hire the employee. In the case of not providing compensation, the employee can take assistance of employment law and go to the employment tribunals in order to have their right (Estreicher, 2010).
|In the other scenario, in which the employee is subjected to be degraded by employer constantly and having undermining behavior with him, he or she can resign from the job without given any prior notice to the employer. The employee can sue the employer for the terminating the employment contract on the ground of discrimination act of employment law. In this regard, the prime reason behind the termination of the contract is the misconduct or misbehaves of employer, which can be dealt by the court under employment act. In this case, the court provides judgment in the favor of the employee (Hor and Keats, 2009).
In this case, Amina has applied for bus driver; however, her employment was canceled Rockman Bus Company on the ground that she is a women and bus driving is the core job of men. In this regard, although Amina pursue all the necessary qualifications and abilities to be a good bus driver, yet she was refused only on the basis of her womanhood and orthodox mentality of the company. Amina can challenge this refusal on the grounds of the provisions mentioned under the sex discrimination act 1975.
The act completely prohibits any gender reassignment and discrimination in employment opportunities on the basis of the gender of the applicant. The Sex discrimination act 1975 provides the opportunity Amina to make claims against the company in employment tribunals (Sargeant, 2013). Amina can register the case within three month of the incidents. In this case the tribunal can ask the company to provide written explanation regarding the case and the company's stand over this issue. After having successful uphold of the claim, Amina can have award of compensation from the side of the company for 'Injury of feeling' faced by Amina.
In this way, it can be reflected that law on discrimination can directly affect the human resource management regimes followed within the business organizations. The legal provisions available in the country are directed to make the practices of the companies non discriminated and effective.
The employment law of the UK is having quite specific and effective directives on gender and other types of discrimination within an organization. The legal orientation of the country regarding the discriminatory behavior of business organizations is also quite enhancing and incrementing up to a significant level. This phenomenon can be directly linked up with the human resource practices of business organizations in existing time period. The law related to discrimination has become quite strict which has guided the organizations to realigned practices related to recruitment and selection, employee performance evaluation and appraisal, employee retention policies and grievance handling measures adopted by the organization (Estreicher, 2010.).
In regard to this, it is also quite essential for the management of the organization to have keen watch over it human resource management practices for the purpose of being ensured that any kind of discrimination within the organizational practices is avoided in the most efficient and effective manner. The development in the employee law perspectives against discrimination within the organization is directly and positively correlated with the human resource management practices as with the development of the law, the human resource management practices of the companies have also became quite refined and transparent so that it can be aligned with legal requirements (Sargeant, 2013).
|Best practices in employment relationship on discrimination
|Human Resource Management Practices
|1. Best practices related to discrimination legislation also included prohibition of discrimination with the employees on the grounds of their religion and beliefs. The law has established a separate commission for governing the matters related to racial equality and disability (Hedley, 2006).
|1. In comparison to this, the prime aspects of the human resource management practices are directed to identification of talent among employees and selecting the most efficient talent within the organization
|2. Best practices in employment relationship on discrimination also indicated the implication of The Equal Pay Act 1970. This act also has the key principle that all the employees can claim having equal pay for the same job which is offered to the employee of opposite sex (Hedley, 2006).
|2. In contrast to this, the human resource management practices are directed to oppose this equal pay regime. As per the HRM practices, there should not be equal pay within the organization rather the pay should be based on the performance level of the employee (Hedley, 2006).
|3. The best practices in employment relationship on discrimination states that none of the employee should be discriminated by the employers on the grounds of gender, race and age. The Disability Discrimination Act 1995 also provides a clear specification that the employer is an organization is libel legally to make reasonable adjustment for having accommodation of the employee's disability. The employer can even also not discriminate employees on sexual orientation while giving them employment for full time or part time.
|3. In comparison to this, the company's HRM practices are also directed to ensure the equal and effective opportunity to each and every employees within the organization.
In the UK, all the business organisations require to follow health and safety practices in the premise of the UK employment law. These practices are also followed in the UK retail sector, in which Tesco Plc has a great place. The company is well recognised for its health and safety practices in the entire industry. With the evaluation of the key health and safety practices of Tesco and its current status, it has been reviewed that Tesco ensures the management of health and safety and welfare of the employees to a good level. The company has made significant arrangements for safety of its employees and has developed a specific health and safety policy for the same purpose.
In the health and safety policy, the company has key practices including keeping the workplace clean and tidy in order to avoid any kind of infection and accidents. It has key focus on equipment safety and specific instructions are provided for their use. It is evident in the question that Andrew met with an accident while working as a butcher for David due to mishandling of the machine. The employees are not allowed to interfere in the electrical equipment and only trained and expert mechanical people are allowed to have authorized used of these equipments (Dransfield, 2005). Any kind of acts that can cause injury are prohibited at the workplace of Tesco. The company provides proper learning to do the jobs with safety by the employees.
The company has also developed a well organised and efficient reporting system as per which all the employees can report for any kind of safety related issues to the immediate managers on instant basis. The company also keeps the records of all the accidents and injuries held during the work process in order to investigate their reasons and update them in the Accident Report Book (Dransfield, 2005). All these facts and their evaluation related to the health and safety policy of the company depicts that it has a good concern with the health aspects of its employees and follow good practices to protect them from any kind of life-threatening issue.
The company also runs the safety awareness programs and have regulation safety communication with the employees at its stores. This has been evident that the company initiated a contest in Poland in 2010/11 where it had good degree of engagement with the employees to make improvements in the standards of the safety and hygienic aspects of employees. The company has even won safety awards for the same act.
The human rights provisions have direct impact on the employment contractual relationship. There has been developed a single commission for equality as well as human rights. The Human Rights Act 1998 in relation to contractual relationship states that in order to relinquish the trade union rights of employees that European Court of Human Rights offer financial inducement to employees for securing their contractual relationship with the employees. The employees have the rights to take part in the activities of the trade union when the employer recognises the trade union (Kibling and Lewis, 2000). On the basis of their membership and non-membership, the employees can have protection from dismissal and action short of dismissal.
The Human Rights Act also secures the privacy rights of the employees and secures their membership in the trade union. This discussion reflects that human rights provision that are defined under the Human Rights Act have good impact on the employment contractual relationship and the same practices are evident in the real world organisations of the present date where the employers are abide with this act while making contractual relationship with the employees. This law is equally applied on all the UK based organizations.
In relation to Pride & Company's case related to disclosure of personal information of an employee David to other parties, the data protection principles and their application specifies that employers have to keep abidance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and thus need to have compliance with the certain principles to process the personal data of employees (Kibling and Lewis, 2000). With the application of this law, the employer has a prohibition to disclose the personal information of any employee without taking his consent. This is legal obligation under the contract of employment that was violated by Pride & Co Company that was a kind of legal issue in the eye of the UK employment law.
The principles of the Data Protection requires that an employer must ensure that personal data hold by the company should be accurate, secured and processed for certain specific purpose. In context to right of data subject there are three conditions only in that the employer has right to disclose the information to other parties including the employer or the person who is involved within the conduct, the legal adviser of the individual for taking legal advice on an issue and the listed public bodies in the Order 1999 of the Public Interest Disclosure and same is applied in the case of Pride & Co company, but there was not of the person from this category to whom the data of David was disclosed.
On the basis of the above facts and findings and case analysis done in relation to employment relationship, it has been evaluated the employment relationship legislation of the UK provides a strong base for dealing the case issues related to employment law. The report has provided a clear rationale for different case issues related to employment relationship and contractual agreement. This has been evident on the basis of the case evaluations and conceptual aspects that in the UK, the law deals with the cases of employment law with the implication of health and safety related regulations and discrimination and equality matters. The UK employment law also provides a clear description of the sources of employment relationship and provisions for employee termination. In this way, the employment law provides a good understanding of the employment relationship and its related cases.

Actress Han Ye Seul will venture into voice-over dubbing in "Monsters vs Aliens," which opens this year on April 23.
Han Ye Seul plays the role of Ginormica, who one day suddenly obtains great power, and Han Ye Seul will put her own bubbliness into the role.
Han Ye Seul didn't lose her smile as she interviewed with reporters with a flushed face, and she was said to be excited for the first time she did voice dubbing. When talking about when Kiefer Sutherland praised Han Ye Seul, she was so embarrassed that she covered her face.
How was doing dubbing for the first time?
Back in the day, the audio on the filming set wasn't good, so we had to redo the voicing, so dubbing wasn't unfamiliar to me. However, this wasn't me acting, and dubbing an English movie into Korean felt like homework to me. I was devoted to my role despite its difficulty.
How was working with Kiefer Sutherland?
It's something that will last with me for a lifetime (Laughs). I have been a fan of his for a long time. Back then, I couldn't even imagine myself become an actress and standing on the same stage next to him. It's very honoring. Though this was the first time we met, he was very gentle. It made me feel very good that he complimented me (that I resembled Reese Witherspoon) (Laughs).
How do you feel about dubbing?
Honestly, I worried that I would be in tune with a character's movements by only acting with my voice. Just hearing my voice is really strange. In the beginning, I even thought that I ruined this big project. However, after dubbing my voice, I saw the characters live and move, and I thought it was charming and amazing.
If you had to guess the number of viewers…
It would be good if the number wasn't less than "Shrek" and "Kung Fu Panda" (Laughs).
If there was another offer to do dubbing for a Hollywood movie…
Of course I would want to do it. Even if it's a small role, it seems like it would be fun. Even at the agency they are reviewing roles like that. It would be fun to dub roles into English as well. Back then, I saw Zhang Ziyi do dubbing. That was nice seeing an Asian actress do it first.
Forget dubbing, are there any plans to advance into Hollywood?
If an opportunity came, I would grab it without wavering. Though I would be under an incredible burden, my personality is the time to do something first and then see it (Laughs). No matter what I would do about the burden I feel, I would grab that opportunity with a whip. I would first start and then later work hard like crazy (Laughs).
What kind of side of yourself do you want to show in the future?
I will continue to attempt to play different characters. Though I have strong points, there are areas that I can improve upon. I want to show an appearance of myself improving and shattering the preconceptions about me. It's like a game to me. I am fiercely competitive for a year and as my ability increases, I want to feel the satisfaction of leveling up (Laughs).

Love Unrehearsed (2012)
About book: I truly truly loved this book... It was great seeing Ryan and Taryn grow and really become strong partners... Chapter 11 is just hot! And the story really went into some unexpected story lines which was really refreshing. Here is my only gripe... After living and loving these character through 2 books, and highly anticipating their joyous union in marriage, their honeymoon and life afterwards... I felt 100% cheated that the book just fast forwards like 3 years! I feel like I missed sooooo much love and depth and great moments with these two. I know it might have added 1000 extra pages, but still, it just seems that lots of authors are adopting this "fast forward" process near the end of their books. And it just doesn't feel right.... Regardless of that the ending is still wonderful and the book is truly amazing and a great "happy the end" for these characters... I WANT TO FUCKING MARRY A GUY LIKE RYAN. PLEASE WHOEVER MAKE THIS HAPPEN PLS.I loved the book so much, for me it was a lot more consistent than the first one but the ending, I cant give it 5 stars because of the ending. It was so rushed. Don't get me wrong, I loved how it ended but it was a little too much information in a so little pages. And I missed Marie. I mean Taryn told us about Pete and Tammy but nothing about Marie. I guess she was was setting it up for the book about her but anyway. Oh how I would love another book about their life with the little baby and the producing company. Dont think its ever gonna happen though.
Loved the first book.... Wish I stopped there.
Liked this, definitely want to read #3.

- The was a former personal car of Bill Harrah.
- Harrah modified it with a Chrysler Hemi engine producing 400 hp.
- It was the most expensive American car on the American market.
- It was built for those who wanted and could afford the best.
The original Lincoln Continentals produced between 1939 and 1948 created enough interest that postwar public demand brought them back in a restyled form in October 1955, designated as the Mark II. The Continental Mark II was built by the Lincoln Division of the Ford Motor Company. Among those who contributed to its design were Gordon Buehrig of Auburn and Cord fame, and William Clay Ford, grandson of Henry Ford. It was truly a personal car built for those who wanted and could afford the best.
The Mark II, besides being the most expensive American car on the market that year, was also the heaviest, weighing 5,190 pounds. The car was completely outfitted with all the deluxe equipment generally considered to be optional, the only extra cost item was air conditioning. The Mark II carried its spare tire mounted within the deck lid, reminiscent of earlier Lincoln Continentals. The wheel covers gave the appearance of wire spokes from a distance, but were full covers with slotted openings to aid brake cooling. Powering the Mark II was an 8-cylinder engine developing 300 hp. During its 18 months of production, 3,000 were built.
This 1956 Continental Mark II was purchased new by Bill Harrah. Though it looks stock from the outside, it was modified by installation of a 1958 Chrysler Hemi engine, producing more than 400 hp.

Danielle 'Nolli' Waterman is one of England Rugby's leading lights with over 15 years playing at the senior elite level, gaining 82 International Caps and scoring 47 tries. Her achievements across men and women's rugby are unrivalled being the only player in the world to have played in four rugby world cups – one of which they won – and the Olympic Games.
Her achievements do not stop there. Nolli has received nominations for World Player of the Year, IRPA Try of the Year, won BBC Sports Personality Team of the Year and most recently has been named Women's Players' Player of the Year.
Unsurprisingly rugby has always been in Nolli's blood. Her father Jim, a Bath Rugby legend, is the fourth most capped player in their history, having played over 400 games for the West Country giants in the 60s, 70s and 80s. Both her older brothers have played county level rugby for Somerset, with one also having schoolboy England honours.
Nolli started her rugby at Minehead Barbarians, and was one of a few girls playing mini rugby in the South West. She was forced to stop playing mixed rugby at the age of 12, but her rugby career was only just starting when she was spotted by England as a teenager. Nolli made her full England debut in 2003, having spent three years developing in the Academy and "A" sides; captaining England A at the age of 17. She became the youngest player, at the time, to be fully capped by England whilst studying her A'levels at only 18-years-old; and when she announced her retirement from international rugby in the summer of 2018 she was the longest serving England player.
Her 7s career is equally as impressive as her 15s having represented England 7s for 14 years. At the tender age of 19 Nolli was captain when England won the Europeans. She played in 7s RWC2009 and was selected for 7s RWC2013, however, an injury sadly prevented her from playing. In 2016 Nolli was one of just 12 players who made history by being named in the first ever Team GB Rugby Sevens squad to compete at the Olympic Games in Rio, a team that made it to fourth place. That same year Nolli was named in the 'Dream Team' for Langford Tournament.
Having competed in four Rugby World Cup's and one 7s World Cup, Nolli has been part of a long journey with England Rugby. In the 2006 and 2010 Rugby World Cups, the team placed second only for them to go on and win the Rugby World Cup in 2014, demonstrating their drive and persistence to achieve at high performing levels.
Having represented England at every level, coached professionally and returned from potential career ending injuries, Nolli has experienced everything elite sport has to offer.
As well as being a professional rugby player, Nolli has made multiple appearances on our TV screens. She has often provided expert analysis and commentary for the likes of Sky Sports and England Rugby TV, while providing her professional opinion for media outlets such as the BBC.
In 2019 Nolli was announced as an ambassador for Gallagher, Title Partner of the Premiership Rugby.

QIAGEN Diversity & Inclusion Ambassador Program
QIAGEN, as a world leader in molecular testing with activities in 35 countries around the world, understands that diverse teams create successful behaviors that drive better business results. We have sound representation in our global workforce of 5,000 employees in terms of age, gender and nationality. However, we are striving for more diversity at senior management levels. This involves fostering a culture where diversity is embraced and appreciated for the career opportunities we are creating as well as for the advantages created to achieving sustainable business success. We realized the messages about the importance and benefits of diversity to QIAGEN were not reaching all of our employees.
Determining that catalytic actions were necessary, QIAGEN decided to seek out employees with a passion for diversity, and who could articulate the benefits to colleagues, to become local Diversity Site Ambassadors. We chose employees for this initiative from all levels of QIAGEN, across all of our seven global functions, and at all major sites. We have created a common team spirit to drive our message about the importance of increasing our diversity and empowering a "bottom-up" inclusivity movement.
Roles & Responsibilities include:
- Serve as local advocates of global initiatives
- Adapt global initiatives to site-specific needs
- Host local Townhalls and events
- Co-host EC Diversity Forum meetings
- Report on local actions and outcomes
- Share best practices
- Monitor local diversity data
After a company-wide review, 21 ambassadors were selected that represent 15 sites. A Diversity Site Ambassadors training program was held, with clear messaging about the importance of Diversity and Inclusion at QIAGEN to our future business success.
In the first six months, our ambassadors achieved the following:
- Held Diversity Forums with senior management as lead participants at various locations
- Created local videos on diversity topics
- Maximized the reach of Yammer (our internal social media channel with a 100% employee participation rate) to create a Global Diversity logo and hashtag and create internal discussions
As a leader in enabling our customers to gain valuable molecular insights from biological samples, our colleagues at QIAGEN understand the significance of diversity to the evolution of life and a key element of our DNA. I am convinced that a more diverse organization will be better positioned to address the needs of customers and, in our case, to achieve our vision of helping our customers to make improvements in life possible. Embracing diversity is essential to ensuring that QIAGEN continues to thrive as a global leader.

Introduction: Cigar Box Amplifier Case Mod
Parts required:
- An old battery powered amp that you want to increase the coolness factor on. I choose an older model Fender Mini Tone-Master.
- An old cigar box that you can fit the components into.
- 9 volt battery holder clips (Radio Shack part #270-326) $1.19
- Depending on the type of amp you choose, you may need a 9 volt snap connector. Radio Shack part #270-324 These are $2.99 for a 5 pack. If you need one, you'll only need 1, but the 5 pack is the only way The Shack sells them now. You could probably find similar parts online, but my local Shack was only a mile away and didn't have to pay shipping.
- Hot glue gun
- Jig saw with fine tooth blade and a drill
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Determine Battery Connector Type and Opening the Case
The first step is to remove the battery door and determine if you will need to purchase a battery connector. Newer versions of the Tone Master simply have a hole on one end of the battery compartment with a snap on battery connector with lead wires already attached. If that's the case, congrats, you'll get to skip a step and you won't have to buy a new snap on connector like I had to do. Mine is an older version with the battery terminals built into the case.
After you have determined which version you have, Open the case by removing the case screws. On mine there were five small phillips head screws. You'll need a screwdriver with a narrow shaft and a head that doesn't flare out at the head too much. The screws are about 3/4" deep.
Step 2: Dealing With the Battery Connector
If your case has the permanently attached battery connection like this one does, snip the red and black leads as close to the battery box as possible to give yourself plenty of room to attach the new connector.
If you have the new style, simply slip the snap on battery connector with wire still attached, out the hole in the end of the battery compartment.
Step 3: Removing the Controls
On the front of the case, pull off the knobs off of each of the controls and retain them.
Use a pair of pliers and remove the nuts holding each control, and the jack, in place.
Step 4: Removing the Components
With the nuts from the knobs and the jack removed, the main circuit board will be free. Remove the two screws holding the headphone jack/ AC adapter jack circuit board, and the two screws holding the speakers in place.
All the electrical components should now be free of the case. If not, look for screws you may have missed and remove them.
Step 5: Removing the Control Label
If you choose to reuse the original control label like I did, carefully peel it off. Mine was held on with glue, but not very tightly. The sticker is made of thin metal, and if you're careful and work slowly, you can peel it off in one piece to reuse.
Even if you choose not to use the original control label in your build, I would suggest removing it anyway as it makes a perfect template to use for drilling the holes for the controls in your box.
Place it on your box temporarily and trace the locations of the holes. Make sure that the location you choose gives you room for all the components and wires to reach where you want them to go. If you separate them too far, you'll just need to splice in extra wire. This Macanudo box was just the right size. Any smaller and everything would not have fit.
Step 6: Selecting How to Mount the Speakers
On my build, I choose to reuse the original speaker grill as the mounting point for my speakers. You could also just as easily cut round holes in your box and mount the speakers to the box. Simply personal preference. Mine speaker grill was also covered with a fabric grill cloth which I first removed, but retained the Fender logo. It could also be removed if you want a cleaner look.
For my build, I placed the speaker grill in place on my box and traced around it. Then, I used a straight edge to draw a line 1/4" inside the outline of each of the 4 sides of the grill. Using a jig saw with a very fine plywood blade, a sawed out an opening on the internal (smaller) lines that I had drawn.
Using the correct size drill bits (or ones that are close enough for you to ream the holes bigger), drill the holes for the controls, the jack, and the LED.
Step 7: Marking and Cutting the Holes for the Headphone and AC Adapter Jacks
Since on this amp the battery wires connect to the circuit board that also houses the headphone and the AC adapter jacks, you'll need to keep it intact, so why not reuse it too? Just use the old case as a template to mark the new holes. Make sure that where you place it doesn't interfere with where anything else will be placed in the cigar box.
Step 8: Adding the Internal Components
I was in a hurry and hot glue to secure my components. You could probably come up with a cleaner and neater way to do it, but if you are careful, and keep the glue away from any of the electrical connections, it works just fine internally. (Inside the box, not your body. Do not ingest hot glue internally.)
Start by placing the speaker grill in place outside the box and apply glue around the edges of the grill inside the box. Allow this a few minutes to cool and dry before hot gluing the speakers in place. Be careful to only apply glue to the speaker frame, don't get any on the speaker cones themselves.
Remove any loose paper the sides of the box where anything will be attached.
Secure the headphone/ AC adapter jack in place with hot glue.
Stick the control label in place outside the box, work the controls, jack and LED in place and secure with the nuts you removed earlier.
Attach the 9 volt battery holder with hot glue. They only come in two packs at Radio Shack (part # 270-326), so I attached the extra one to hold a spare battery at the ready. Plus it balanced out the weight of the box.
Step 9: Attach the Battery Connector
If the amp you used had a snap connector attached to the wire, and you were able to save it, congrats, you can skip this step. If not, and your amp was like mine, you now need to attach the new 9 volt snap connector.
The wires on these are small, probably 22-24 gauge. You could solder the wire from the new connector to the power lead wires that you cut earlier, but I used small crimp connectors with electrical tape. tape each crimp connection separately then tape them together. Unless you have an oddball amp or connectors, matching red to red and black to black should work just fine. If it doesn't, reverse them.

Ahh this is very pleasing. Something we'd try in our studio for sure :)
How did the sound quality change?
Not particularly. Maybe a little less tinny but not by much. Mostly a cosmetic change.

On Thursday morning, the advocacy branch of the Christopher LaVell Jones Foundation #TheirLivesMatter met with the Oakland Police Department to discuss demands raised the families of murder victims.
The group's demands include ensuring the privacy of eyewitnesses to murder cases and creating an oversight board that will have minimal access to the clients' files to answer routine questions about the case.
Lt. Drennon Lindsey, OPD homicide commander who was present at the meeting, said the department is doing its best to assist families and solve cases despite having limited resources.
"I am glad we've had a chance to address some of the concerns in the community," said Lindsey. "We have homicide officers on standby ready to assist families and have an officer assigned to each case."
The group's first meeting was held on Aug. 27, a joint meeting with representatives from Mayor Jean Quan's office, District Attorney Nancy O'Malley's office and the Oakland Police Department.
"We are now in the process of strategizing with each individual group to ensure they completely understand and comply with our demands – which publicly they have already agreed to adopt," said Brenda Grisham of the Christopher LaVell Jones Foundation.
The foundation was created in 2010 after Grisham's son was killed.
"We will be meeting with Mayor Quan next week to discuss OPD cooperating with families of murder victims and creating an oversight board where they can receive updated information," said Grisham.

Once you've developed your list of key words and phrases and gotten the big picture with Google Trends, you're ready to find out what the millions of internet users are actually searching for in your subject area. One of the best ways to do that is to use the Keyword Tool offered by Google's Adwords. Because it's offered by Google, and because Google is by far the most-used search engine, you get up to the minute results showing every imaginable search term. It even includes mis-spellings and words you may not have thought of. Most importantly, the results show what people are actually searching for rather than what you may think they're searching for. This is truly helpful ... we think it's better to be rich than to be right.
For most topics, the keyword tool will give you a huge list (around 800 results). You can sort the list by most searched, local searches (this is the one we use most often, because it shows what people in the US are searching for), and several other very helpful criteria. It's easy to download this list into Excel or some other data management format to help you collate the results.
So how are you ever going to optimize your site for 800 words and phrases? You're not. Almost nobody has the resources to optimize that many terms, and the good news is that most of us will do very well by focusing on the top ten or so words and phrases (more about that in a future post).
By the way, opening an Adwords account is free. Just Google "Adwords." You'll find the Adwords site in the organic listings at this address: https://accounts.google.com/ Pretty neat, huh?
At this point you should have a better idea of which keywords to use, based on the amount of traffic that each one is generating. Another tool to evaluate what keywords and phrases you should use is the Traffic Estimator within Google Adwords. We'll talk more about that in a future post.

In Toronto, Margot (Williams) is happily married to Lou (Rogen), but she feels that their relationship is only expressed through humour and that work interests divide them. So it's not surprising that, after a chance encounter with neighbour Daniel (Kirby), Margot starts to consider straying from her marriage. She holds Daniel at arm's length, but is intrigued by everything that's new about him, including his more adult way of talking about sex and relationships. Is taking this leap scarier than waiting around for her marriage to come back to life?
Continue reading: Take This Waltz Review
When Margot and Daniel meet on a plane, they have an immediate connection; their chemistry is intense and they can't shake off the feeling that they've met before. This movies isn't your ten a penny love story though as Margot is happily married to Lou, a cookbook writer. However when it turns out that rickshaw driver Daniel lives on the same street as the happy couple and begins to regularly pop up in Margot's daily routine when back home, their intensity blossoms and throws the certainty of Margot and Lou's domestic life into question. Call it destiny, whimsy or coincidence; the two begin to lust for one another more and more after their aeronautical meeting and this love triangle becomes an extremely passionate affair.

Coconut Oil Lip Balm
Customer Reviews
We used to go through all kinds of Chap Stick in this house. We took to buying it in bulk from Amazon. But no matter how often we used it, our lips were still chapped, dry, and even peeling. Ugh. Of course, part of the problem was overuse. But, more important, the ingredients weren't healthy. You sure can't say that about Wren Natural lip balm. First of all, it is made using coconut oil. Who doesn't like coconut oil? This lip balm is really great. It lasts a long time and it works. OH! It smells nice and it is healthy. Don't put garbage on your body. Go with this stuff. You deserve the royal treatment, for sure.
Love the texture for my dry chapped lips! I ordered 4 so I don't run out too soon!

5 Email Newsletter Metrics You Must Track
If you are an online entrepreneur and you have a website, you know that email newsletters remain a very effective tool for keeping in touch with your customers and selling products, particularly if you have special offers. Newsletters can work wonders for you, but you need to be aware of how well you are doing. Here are five of the most basic newsletter metrics you should keep in mind.
1. Your conversion rate. One of the most important metrics for newsletters is their conversion rate. This refers to the total number of Email recipients who click through the contents of a newsletter and actually end up making a purchase or responding to its call. The average conversion rate for newsletters is approximately 2.89%. If you are getting less than that, review your landing pages and make sure they are conversion-friendly.
2. Your open rate. This refers to the number of people who receive your newsletter and actually open it. Industry statistics say the average rate for newsletter opens is from 15 to 20%. If your rate is lower than this, try to find out if your subscriber list does not adequately target people to whom your product is relevant. See if you are sending too few or too many campaigns while not providing enough content. Then, examine your subject line and see if it needs to be more appealing.
3. Your delivery rates. Your delivery rate should not rate lower than 90%. If it is, then perhaps you need to check your subscriber list for dead addresses. Because people are so mobile today, the subscribers on your list may have changed their addresses; this affects the quality of your list.
4. Your spam complaints. All companies experience spam complaints. However, studies show that the average rate hovers around .05%, so the moment your spam complain rate moves close to 1%, it is time to find out if your newsletters are too long or if you are sending them too often. As a rule, sending newsletters more often than once a week can be a turn-of for subscribers. At the same time, check your opt-in process. Make sure you have a quality list that requires people to confirm their subscription by clicking on a link sent to their Email address.
5. Your unsubscribe rates. No list is ever able to keep its subscribers forever; that is one of the realities of online newsletters. However, if your unsubscribe list is in the neighbourhood of 5%, then you need to find out why. It could be that your Emails are not easily accessible on mobile devices, or it could be that the quality of your message needs to be improved.
Newsletters are a vital marketing method, and with a careful eye on metrics, a newsletter can drive sales and create a loyal customer base. Particularly for start-up enterprises and small businesses, newsletters can create a venue where people see that with your company, people get more than what they buy.
