Event to focus on teen driving safety
An event aimed at helping teenage drivers become better drivers will be held Saturday at Midland College.
Celebrate My Drive, hosted locally by the Permian Basin Regional Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse, is part of a larger State Farm nationwide campaign.
"The emphasis of this event is to celebrate oncoming teen drivers and focus on letting teens walk away with key elements that will keep them safe behind the wheel," said Carrie Bronaugh, PBRCADA prevention resource director.
It will be held from 3-6 p.m. Saturday in Midland College's Allison Fine Arts Center parking lot.
While the event focuses on educating teen drivers, Bronaugh said they want teens to attend with their families and other siblings.
"Teen driving is a huge issue in our community right now, and we want to equip kids with as much information as possible to help them make the right choices," Bronaugh said.
Ten partner organizations, including Stop DWI and the Midland Fire Department, will host booths that address different aspects of safe driving practices, Bronaugh said.
"We'll all be out there, on-hand, teaching how to stay safe on the roads," she said.
The fire department's rollover simulator will help teach kids what to do in an accident and how to remain safe and calm while waiting for emergency personnel to arrive, Bronaugh said.
Some car dealerships also will have officials present showcasing technological advances and safety features on cars, as well as discussing basic maintenance, Bronaugh said.
After teens visit all vendors, Bronaugh said they will be able to play driving-geared video games.
"If we can show these kids, adolescents and parents how important it is to pay attention and be sober and on task every time they get behind the wheel and save just one life, then we've done our job as far as prevention goes," Bronaugh said.
The afternoon also will include a balloon release in honor of teenagers who have died in a car accident. According to Reporter-Telegram archives, at least three individuals age 22 and younger have died in car wrecks since July.

It may not be a decision of vital importance...but it's still pretty important as far as the comic goes. I just advise (whatever it may be worth...) to stick with whatever you decide. It's your comic, and all, but I wanna see the next week in comic some time in the next decade or so.
(Only a joke...so please don't take it personally or anything. But I do mean the "stick with what you decide" part. Get something you're happy with, and stick with it. Small changes are great and all...but EGS doesn't need to be perfect. You don't need to majorly overhaul the comic's look every 6 months. Little changes as it goes along work well enough, if you feel the need to change something, instead of reinventing the wheel, so to speak.
Just one bunny's opinion, though...)

Does the Church have an official position on the American Civil War?
I think that the infancy narrative of Matthew and Luke was made known by Mary. Is there any support for this belief?
I was wondering if you could comment on whether or not you can hold your hands up during the Our Father in imitation of the priest?
I read in the Washington Post that the author of the Zealot said that Christ was not actually born in Bethlehem, could you comment on that?
Were the Evangelists the same age as Jesus? Who was the oldest?
How do we answer the criticisms that the prophecies answered in Matthew are fallacious and they don't relate the meanings of the original Old Testament prophecies?
I was at a Catholic wedding ceremony and during the Our Father I heard a phrase that I had never heard before "for thine is the kingdom…" where does this come from?
There's a part in the St. Leo prayer that speaks of Lucifer as being transformed as an angel of light…why? Does it mean that be pretends to be a good angel?
At the end of the world Jesus is going to take the people that are here with him to heaven. What happens to their purgatory time?
Did the Church change her position on salvation, because I thought the Church once believed that you would only be saved if you were Catholic and in the CCC it seems to have changed.

Waiting For the Piano Tuner to Die
Harriet Richards' almost uncanny gift for inhabiting the minds and personalities of widely different characters is as evident in this collection as in her award-winning first novel, The Lavender Child.
The men and women in these stories, and perhaps most of all the children, make their own sense of a world where "There are forces at play so simple, natural, and accidental that nobody can figure them out and see them coming." It is a world, too, in which "there's lots more sorrow flying around people's heads than there is joy." That sorrow may be heartbreaking, occasionally it is horrific; but the reader is constantly reminded, with the quiet, clear-eyed and sometimes mischievous irony of Harriet Richards' voice, that in this world and — in the least likely places — we may entertain angels unawares.

Microsoft has been keeping the renowned Anders Hjelsberg busy on a new language called TypeScript. Typescript is an open-source project (using the Apache 2.0 license) that allows you to write a super-set of Javascript that allows for a stronger typing system. You can watch Anders' original launch presentation.
You can actually do that today with Delphi using a very cool tool called Smart Mobile Studio. There is also the Elevate Web Builder tool from Elevate Software. Both have the same idea – leverage the power of Delphi to produce Javascript-based applications. Pretty cool, really.
Anders talked to Scott Hanselman about Microsoft's offering in the "Language to compile down to Javascript" arena in the latest episode of Hanselminutes. Anders is always a good interview – I love a guy who thinks and speaks as clearly as he does. (That's why I always loved a Danny Thorpe presentation. Danny is pretty quiet and mellow, but his talks were always so clear and well organized – every single word he said was worth listening to – that they were always excellent and enormously educational. Anders is the same way….) He does a great job discussing the notion behind TypeScript.
Here are some of my thoughts on what Anders said and on TypeScript in general.
Now one thing to note is that tools like Smart Mobile Studio and Elevate Web Builder offer pretty much all these features as well. There isn't any reason that Embarcadero couldn't make Javascript be something that is output by the Delphi compiler. Heck, there is even a project out there to get LLVM to produce Javascript. TypeScript would integrate well into HTML5 Builder. Whatever higher-end language you want to use, it seems pretty clear to me that Javascript will be the thing our compilers will be producing in the not-to-distant future.
Are you going to give TypeScript a look, or are you more interested in the Delphi-to-Javascript solutions? I'll probably check out both. Either way I have to use a different IDE, so I'm guessing I'll lean towards the Delphi-based solutions. Plus, I frickin' hate curly braces.
What do you guys think?
The views I express here are entirely my own and not necessarily those of any other rational person or organization. However, I strongly recommend that you agree with pretty much everything I say because, well, I'm right. Most of the time. Except when I'm not, in which case, you shouldn't agree with me.

It's that time of year again, school and college fees in India are due for payment. SOPW (as in previous years) are launching their 2014 annual project – Children's Education.
We all know the lengths that parents will go to ensure that their own children get the very best out of life – such as a good education to help them achieve their goals. These are our children too– they have already lost so much with the absence of one or sometimes both parents. Let's join together to help the children of today, become the leaders, scholars, entrepreneurs, scientists, etc., of tomorrow.
SOPW need your help to ensure this very rewarding and worthwhile seva can take place. We have collated the details of children of Sikh political prisoners as well as children from shaheed families, who need assistance to pay for school or college fees. These children often live in poor conditions, as the main breadwinner of the family is absent and paying for school fees, unfortunately, falls lower down on the list of essential needs. Why should these children suffer any longer, they too have aspirations. Their parents are an inspiration to the whole panth, so we shouldn't let their children be left behind by society.
If you wish to sponsor a child, we can supply you with regular updates on the childs progress, you may even wish to contact or visit the family yourself. There are many options on how you can choose to proceed with this seva, please contact us to discuss further...

I saw an interesting bumper sticker yesterday evening, a U.S. flag-like graphic with the stars in the blue field replaced by the word "Think" and below the stripes, the phase continues, "it's patriotic."
A quick check online shows it being marketed to the liberal/Democrat folks, but really-- I know it's fun to claim one's political opponent are unthinking, lock-step fools and dupes, but that's utter BS. "The science is clear..." "Anyone with half a brain will realize..." No. There are some smart cookies out there who have -- at least by their lights -- thought things through and yet they came to conclusions utterly at odds with your own.
We all like to think we're clever, smartest rats in the maze; and if there's a thing or two you're especially good at, you might be, at least with regard to those things. On everything else, you're just like the rest of us nekkid apes: you've got some information and you are making your very best guess.
Surprise, we don't all guess -- pardon me, reason -- our way to the same place. It's not necessarily due to stupidity, or conformity or lack of trying. It sure doesn't mean you shouldn't think.
Think -- and realize the other bozos on the bus are thinking too, at least as often as not. Think, and understand that even with the best will in the world and the greatest determination to be guided by fact, we still don't all end up with the same notions on anything more complicated than which way is down. And that's okay; we've got centuries of working out how to get along in a nation and world full of disagreement.
Think. It really is patriotic. It beats the alternative.

We have had the pleasure of working with the dozens of people over the last several years starting their own consulting business. All of them have come to us to create a new website and/or membership site. In many cases we have to stop and back up before we put pen to paper.
Before you can create a new website or begin a marketing campaign it's important to be very clear about who you are, what you do and the value you bring to your clients. Until you have this there's no point in creating website.
There are many questions to answer before you spend a nickel on your website. Here are a few of the most important ones:
Who are you?
Who do you best serve?
What sets you apart?
What pains are your potential clients experiencing that are signs I can help them?
List the three most important things you do for clients (keep it simple).
What value do you bring to your clients?
How much do you charge?
What are you revenue goal…do you have a profit plan?
Once you have the answers to these questions it's time to think about what you want your website to do. Here are some key factors to consider:
- How do my target clients find new information?
- How often should I write new blog articles?
- Do I have the time and interest to write regular blog articles?
- What format should my content be?
- What should be my "voice" or writing style?
- What platform should my website be on (like WordPress)?
- How much should I use social media and which service(s) are best suite to my market?
- How should I manage/track new leads whether generated online or offline?
- How do I qualify new leads to determine if they're a good fit?
- How to I use email marketing, if at all?
- Should I produce a newsletter and if so how does it fit into my overall marketing strategy?
- How do I find more business through referrals?
These are only a handful of questions to consider when starting your business. Helping you through this process and helping you implement the your strategy are exactly what we do at WebGuys. Professionals come to us when they're ready to start but need help with the learning curve.
If you're struggling with any of these questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

I wrote about the epidemiology of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) five years ago and I have now been asked to update the chapter. The only big change has been the publication of SEER figures. The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) is an authoritative source of information on cancer incidence and survival in the United States. SEER currently collects and publishes cancer incidence and survival data from 17 population-based cancer registries covering approximately 26 percent of the US population. The SEER population groups closely mirror the US population mix, though rural populations are slightly under represented and non-white populations slightly over represented.
SEER suggests that the incidence of MDS is 3.6 per 100,000 which is exactly the same figure that the British LRF study came up with some 15 years ago (this sampled 16 million of the British population), and the same as the German Dusseldorf study (looking closely at 1.2 million) concluded 10 years ago. So why do I doubt it?
The first reason is that I have had experience at diagnosing MDS and I know it isn't easy. In MDS, the abnormal cells do not come labelled, they have to be recognized through rather subtle changes. The neutrophils don't have so many granules in their cytoplasm and their nuclei don't have so many lobules. You get a ring of iron (or more commonly part of a ring) around the nucleus of the erythroblasts in the bone marrow - but this doesn't show up with normal stains - you have to stain for it in a special way. The megakaryocytes are too small or not lobulated properly. There are sometimes too many blasts in the bone marrow - but the blasts often don't look quite like blasts, more like promyelocytes. Just like CLL the patients are usually asymptomatic when they present and they are spotted because someone does a blood test. Often the blood count figures are normal, so it takes a close look at the blood film by an expert to make the diagnosis, and even then a bone marrow may be necessary to be sure. Until I learned how to recognize MDS in 1981, I had missed 76 cases in the past 5 years.
The second reason is that cancer statistics draw on cancer registries, and cancer registries rely on hospital admissions and death certificates for their figures. Since MDS rarely gets mentioned on death certificates and many patients are never admitted to hospital, the diagnosis is never recorded in many cases. The LRF study went to the only group of people who could accurately diagnose MDS, the haematologists. They were asked to record every case that they diagnosed over a five year period. The figure of 3.6 per 100,000 excluded patients over-80 years of age - the very people in whom it is commonest. When these were included in a later publication the incidence rose to nearly double what had been previously thought.
The third reason that I doubt the figures is a four-fold variation between different towns and cities. The highest incidence found was in our own laboratory at 12.7 per 100,000. The main factor that accounted for this difference was how interested the local hematologist was in the disease.
Even 12 per 100,000 is an underestimate of the true incidence because when we set about screening for the disease in people over 50, by undertaking an unnecessary blood count we found a prevalence of about 1 in 500! There is a lot more out there than one might expect.
Of course it doesn't really matter, because most of these cases will never be of clinical significance - just as cases of MGUS or monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis will never draw attention to themselves. Almost certainly most cases of prostate cancer picked up by PSA screening and many cases of breast cancer picked up by mammography would never have troubled the surgeon.

Hello, I'm Zoe.
I believe that stories and books have great power to connect, inspire and encourage us in our own narratives. Through sharing my story, God's story and inspiration from beautiful books, I want to bring both your imagination and your reality alive.
I've always loved both words and being creative, having grown up in a home where both of those passions were encouraged. My love of reading and words lead me to study English Literature at university, where a combination of inspirational literature and deeper study of scripture started my love affair with letters- drawing and writing quotes and pretty words. I started this blog as a way of sharing our everyday stories of which creating, faith and motherhood play a big part.
In 2014 I graduated and moved 'down South', finding myself at home with two young children and a dormant creativity. I soon found myself lettering my favourite verses and quotes, and later stumbled into weaving. Weaver fever soon hit, and I started designing book inspired wall hangings to bring books alive.
I'm at home with my now three littles, and love finding ways of inspiring them to read, dig deep into their own stories and to be creative. Decorating with meaningful art and words has been such a joy and a great way to bring books to life in our home. I decided to open up my little shop so that I can inspire you to let your own imagination take flight and celebrate the role of stories in your home and life.
My heart is for you to know that you are not alone, that your story matters, whatever part of the tale you find yourself in right now.
A few things about me:
- 'Zoeprose' is both an anagram of my name (Zoe Rose P) and a tribute to my love of words and flowers.
- I really don't like tea or coffee- I prefer cold drinks or sometimes a hot chocolate beneath a snuggly autumn blanket instead.
- I love Jesus, I love church family and digging into God's word to get to know Him more.
- I was 18 when my husband Josh and I got married– time has flown since- nearly nine years ago now!
- We both grew up in the countryside, then lived in York for a year, Sheffield for four, and now we're back to country life.
- I long for simplicity, minimalism even- but our house is usually an organised mess.
- Since I knew how to write I have written stories, inspired by the books I devoured. Words are wired into me somehow, and our study is a mass of books and notebooks which I have collected.
- My childhood ambition was to be an author, and a mummy.
- Libraries, bookshops and craft shops are some of my happy places. They are brimming with potential and my imagination runs wild!
- For years I suffered from wanting to do all the crafting- stockpiling supplies but never really sticking with anything, to my husband's dismay! Now weaving and watercolour are my favourites, as well as Bible journalling.
- I love to bake. Cooking isn't always so fun!
Please do stay awhile, grab your favourite drink, have a break and get encouraged. I would love to hear from you- you can use the social media icons to connect with me, or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Don't forget to sign up to the newsletter to get inspiration, encouragement and real life tales to help you in your own story.

Miranda Lambert takes over a small-town beauty shop full of colorful characters in her new video for "We Should Be Friends." Her spa day comes complete with a cut and color, a pedicure and one of her friends, songwriter Natalie Hemby, comes out of the waxing room looking a little green in the face.
Of course, one of Miranda's beloved dogs is by her side for her beauty day.
RELATED: Miranda Lambert and boyfriend Anderson East made quite a discovery during a recent Walmart run
"We Should Be Friends" is the newest single from Miranda's latest album, "The Weight of These Wings." It's decidedly more light-hearted than the lead single, "Vice," and Miranda made a point to write this one alone.
RELATED: Miranda Lambert gets real with this confession about her new music
She says, "That's actually the last song I wrote for the record. I woke my mom up at 1 a.m. and I was like 'Hey, I need you to hear this. It's the last one. I'm cuttin'. It's the last week in the studio.'"
Miranda says this song captures her life perfectly. "I wanted one that I wrote alone that was really reflective of the people in my life and me. It started as kind of a sad song, but then I just had a party all by myself with my guitar and it turned out to be that."

Ohio State field hockey freshman midfielder Adelaide Penzone said she was scared out of her mind as she joined her teammates on the field in overtime against the Miami University Redhawks on Sunday.
Little did she know that the period would end in roughly three minutes with her scoring the winning goal for the Buckeyes, securing a 2-1 victory.
Sunday's matchup was truly a battle between both teams. Miami outshot the Buckeyes 8-5 in the first half, but Ohio State junior goalkeeper Liz Tamburro kept the Redhawks off the board with two saves. Both the Redhawks (3-4) and the Buckeyes (3-3) emerged from the first half scoreless.
As the Scarlet and Gray took to the field in the second half, OSU head coach Anne Wilkinson said that she saw the Buckeyes put their overall fitness and commitment to each other to work, aspects that the team has progressively been improving upon over the last two weeks.
"Our communication went up 100 percent from the first half to the second half," Coach Wilkinson said. "They really were able to move and they covered for each other really well. They were patient and really trusting of their own teammates to finish the play."
Miami's Paula Portugal scored the first goal of the game nine minutes into the second half. OSU junior forward Maddy Humphrey was quick to even out the score around seven minutes later, with the help of an assist from redshirt junior midfielder Maggie Reddecliff.
At the end of regulation, Miami had two penalty corners but was unable to convert, forcing the game to overtime. Miami threatened with a scoring chance early, but Tamburro was able to slam the opportunity and keep the clock running.
Ohio State charged up the field, where senior forward Brooke Hiltz hit the ball from the left corner setting up Penzone for the game-winner, bringing the Buckeyes their third straight win.
Penzone, who is described by Coach Wilkinson as "a Buckeye through and through," was nearly at a loss for words after scoring her third career goal and her second game-winning goal.
"It's shocking, like it hasn't happened really," Penzone said. "I didn't expect to be where I am."
The Buckeyes' next game is set for Friday, Sept. 16 as they host their first Big Ten competition against No. 17 Northwestern (4-2).

When Europeans began to settle on the Samoan islands in the late 1700s, there was no single political structure that governed the people. Warfare among the islanders was made more violent when whalers and other outsiders introduced muskets and gunpowder. European rivalry for Pacific Island possessions led Germany to annex the western portion of the archipelago in 1900. In 1914, New Zealand took over what came to be called Western Samoa under a mandate from the League of Nations. That mandate evolved into a United Nations (UN) trusteeship after World War II. In 1962, Western Samoa became the first independent Pacific Island nation, joining the British Commonwealth in 1970 and the UN in 1976. Changing the country's name in 1997 reflected the pride in these early political achievements, particularly in contrast to the dependent status of American Samoa.
Samoa's Constitution combines European concepts and practices with those of fa'a Samoa (Samoan custom). Basic to the latter is an elaborate system of chiefly titles, the matai system. Holders of the two highest titles ( tama-a-'aiga ) became joint heads of state at the time of independence. The surviving title-holder, Susuga Malietoa Tanumafili II, has been sole head of state since 1963; it is not clear what will happen when the time comes for him to be succeeded.
The laws that govern the nation are enacted by the legislative assembly, or Fono a Faipule. An important constitutional change was made in November 1991. Until that time, only holders of matai titles were allowed to elect members of the Fono. This meant that most women and many young men could not vote since few of them were matai . Under the 1991 constitutional reforms, the vote was granted to all Samoans 21 years or older although only matai are eligible to run for Fono office. The term of the Fono was increased from three to five years and the number of cabinet members from eight to twelve. Two Fono members are elected by non-Samoans of European or mixed descent on a separate electoral roll.
The legitimacy of the matai electoral system had been a matter of controversy since the 1980s and led to the formation of political parties. It is not clear how the new system of universal suffrage will affect the composition of these parties, and there is still sentiment that all Samoans, not only matai , should be eligible to run for election to the Fono. Some object that the 1991 reforms were never voted on by all the people. So far the Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP) has been able to hold power for an unprecedented six terms against the opposition of the Samoa National Democratic Party, the Samoa Labour Party, and smaller groups. HRPP's dominance, however, has not been maintained without trouble.
In July 1999, Samoa's minister of public works, Luagalau Levaula Samuelu Kamu, was shot and killed at a political function hosted by the ruling HRPP, as it celebrated its 20th anniversary. A Samoan legislator, a cabinet minister's son, and a third man were charged with murder in the assassination.

Notes: The original version of this legendary soundboard show had a tracking issue with Xanadu and The Trees. In the original release, Xanadu was 11:43 and The Trees was 6:12, but the tail end of Xanadu carried over to the start of The Trees. This "fixed" version corrects that oddity. For the record, I converted the original SHNs to WAV using xAct, edited the tracks using Audacity, exported the tracks as WAV files and then encoded the two new WAV files (Tracks 2 and 3) as SHNs. I also created new checksums. In all other respects, the show is identical to the original release.<- Info taken from original info file>.

Angiogenesis supports tumor growth and facilitates metastasis, the leading cause of patient mortality in breast and other types of solid tumors. Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is an angiogenic factor whose overexpression is associated with increased tumor vascularity, metastasis, and decreased patient survival. We assessed the effects of Ang-2 on breast tumor vasculature by comparing vascular morphology and metastasis of orthotopically implanted metastatic breast carcinoma line MDA-MB-231 that either lacked or overexpressed Ang-2. Methods: Luciferase-tagged MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma cells designated hAng2 were engineered to overexpress human Ang-2. The control line expressed hAng-2 in reverse orientation. Stable production of hAng-2 was confirmed by RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, Western blot, and ELISA. Functionality of recombinant hAng-2 was assessed by migration and proliferation assays. MDA-MB-231 tumors, hAng2 and control, were orthotopically implanted into female Nu/Nu and SCID mice. Metastasis to lymph node and lung were determined by measuring luciferase activity in tissue extracts. Tumor blood vessel morphology was analyzed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using antibodies against MECA-32, smooth muscle actin (SMA-alpha), VEGFR-3 and Notch-1. Results: MDA-MB-231 hAng2 lines were stably generated to produce 0-370 ng/ml of hAng-2 while expression in control line was undetectable. Tumor-produced hAng-2 was functional as demonstrated by a dose-dependent induction of migration of lymphatic endothelial cells and mouse mesenchymal stem cells with a maximum increase of 3-fold. Overexpression of Ang-2 had no significant effect on proliferation of cultured MDA-MB-231 cells, growth rate of hAng2 tumors or blood vessel density. In contrast, we detected substantial differences in vascular morphology of Ang-2 overexpressing tumors including 1.7-fold increase in blood vascular area, 2.8-fold increase in number of vessels with open lumen, and 6-fold increase in lumens' cross-sectional area. Blood vascular pericyte coverage shown by SMA-α staining decreased (p>0.001) in hAng2 tumors, demonstrating vessel destabilization. Blood vascular invasion by tumor cells and pulmonary metastasis increased in Ang-2 overexpressing tumors by 500% and 1100%, as compared with control tumors. Blood vessels in hAng2 tumors, but not lymphatic vessels, displayed significantly upregulated Notch-1 and VEGFR-3 expression amplified by a 2.2-fold. Conclusions: These data suggest that Ang-2 increases metastasis because of suppression of pericytes' recruitment that leads to destabilization of the tumor vessels, which facilitates the entry of tumor cells into the vessels and increases metastatic spread. These effects are associated with up-regulation of Notch-1 and VEGFR-3 on tumor vasculature suggesting that signaling of these proteins underlie the morphologic changes in Ang-2 overexpressing tumors. This is consistent with prior data demonstrating up-regulation of VEGFR-3 on tumor blood vessels and association of both proteins with increased metastasis. This study demonstrates that Ang-2 plays a key role in hematogenous metastasis and suggests that Ang-2 might represent novel a target for inhibition of breast cancer metastasis.

Barclays' Strategy Plan Underwhelms
Barclays' chief executive Antony Jenkins laid out well-flagged plans to cut 1,800 jobs in the investment bank and shrink European retail banking by slashing another 1,900 jobs.
The new strategy will focus on the U.K., U.S. and Africa, and business activities such as U.K. mortgage lending, credit cards and wealth management that are easy to understand and palatable to politicians and regulators.
The ultimate goal is to shave 9% from the cost base and lift shareholders' return on equity over an 11.5% cost-of-equity hurdle.
So can he deliver on his plan by the end of 2015?
Analysts at Credit Suisse calculate that Barclays must grow revenues outside its investment bank by around 16% to hit its growth targets, assuming investment-banking revenue remains flat. Yet ex-investment bank revenue has actually declined in the past two years.
They also point out that Barclays' last strategic plan, rolled out by former CEO Bob Diamond in 2011, envisioned growing annual revenue by between £4.3 billion and £6.4 billion by the end of 2013, but that plan hasn't panned out. Revenue in 2012 was £2.4 billion lower than in 2010.
CS analysts said:
"Similar to the 2011 strategy plan the group appears to be targeting 55p to 60p of EPS [earnings per share] in 2015E with c.10% revenue growth from 2012 levels and 10% cost reduction at the same time. Whilst this appears significantly ahead of our estimates (35p EPS in 2015E and Bloomberg consensus of 44p), similar to the 2011 plan we will need to see evidence of delivery to become more constructive."
The tone is similarly subdued at Liberum Capital with analysts saying the proposed restructuring looks considerably less radical than many may have expected, with headcount reductions of only 3,700. They added that the cost-reduction target of £1.7 billion to £16.8 billion by 2015 is also less than some expected.
And what of Mr. Jenkins' plans for bonus payouts?

Tenant Fees
This article outlines the costs when applying to let a property from K&G Lettings Limited.
Holding Deposit
When you find a property that you like you will be asked to pay a Holding Deposit of £150 in order to process your application. For single applicants, half of this amount will be used to cover the costs of referencing and the remainder put towards your deposit, should you be successful in your application. If there are two or more tenants the entire holding deposit will be used to cover the cost of referencing. If you are unsuccessful you may be refunded part of the holding deposit (£75 for single applicants; £0 for joint applicants). The whole of your Holding Deposit will be returned to you in the event the landlord is unable to proceed. .
Dilapidation deposit
The value of the dilapidation deposit may vary depending on your personal circumstances, but will be equal to at least one month's rent. When the tenancy starts, you will be asked to pay the balance of the deposit less any Holding Deposit paid already. This payment must be in cleared funds to enable the tenancy to commence. For more information on Deposits, please read our article 'A Tenant's guide: what is a Tenancy Deposit?'.
Deposit registration fee
Government legislation requires that all deposits are registered with a Government backed Tenancy deposit scheme to safeguard the tenant or Landlord should disputes arise. We charge £30 to cover the administration costs of registering the deposit. This amount is payable at the time of signing your tenancy.
Tenant Referencing*
If your application to rent a property is accepted and you have paid your Holding Deposit we will commence referencing and initial checks. We ask you to pay a charge to cover the costs of referencing, initial checks, and a contribution towards the preparation of the tenancy agreement and inventory.
Our charges are:
- Single person: £75.00.
- Two applicants: £150.00.
- Additional applicant: £75.00 per applicant.
* This is a non-refundable payment, should you not proceed with the tenancy we reserve the right to retain your reservation fee to meet any reasonable costs or loss of rent whilst the property was withdrawn from the market. This may apply whether you withdraw from the tenancy or are unable to proceed due to adverse references.
Other charges
Depending on your personal circumstances and the progression of your tenancy, we may also ask you to pay other fees and charges. If we do, we will explain these to you at the time.
We always like a tenant to have a guarantor. We will charge a fee of £50.00 for carrying out reference checks on the guarantor.
The guarantor will be asked to read your tenancy agreement and sign a guarantor agreement before the tenancy starts.
Tenancy Renewal Charge
Tenancies are normally renewed every six to twelve months. Each time you decide to renew the tenancy for a further term, a charge of £25.00 will be made to cover administration costs. This amount is payable in advance, and must be received prior to a new contract being signed.
Check out
A check out fee may apply depending on the type of property, please check for clarification as this fee may vary.
Please note: at times we may accept payment for some of these fees by credit card. Should this be the case, there will be a charge added to reflect the amount that we will have to pay for the transaction. We will always tell you if we have to make any charges when accepting payments.

High above the land of Nymnelia is a sparse and scattered realm of floating continents, islands, cities and vast cloudbanks. Great storms swirl and fade. Heavenly radiance flares about. This realm is simply referred to as the Cloud Lands, a celestial realm of primal air. From high above Nymnelia, Ceila watches the world below unfold as she studies Her magic. She weaves the air and protects the blessed realms of Nymnelia with Her power.
She is also known as TululaRa.
Avatars Edit
- True Avatar: A titanic cloud of swirling divine magic in which Her beautiful, nude form rests within. From the cloud, lashes of energy whip out constantly, writhing with pure magical divinity. The lashes stem from her head and appear as extensions of Her own flesh. She speaks like a heavenly choir, the sound of which is enough to cause the souls of mortals to leave their bodies in a fit of rapturous joy. Though, as hate is so closely linked to love, She can turn into a raging storm that lashes out at the world with uncaring malice. As she moves across the land, mortal magic fails in here presence, except that of her devoted followers, who grow stronger.
- Ephemeral Avatars: A beautiful woman, perfectly proportioned, with deep green eyes, often under the guise of a commoner or even a soldier. Occasionally, She is seen carrying a star-shaped mace.
Dogma Edit
She preaches the necessity to love your family and friends and cherish each moment you spend with them, even if that moment is spent in misery. Those who practice this philosophy are rewarded with long, love-filled lives. The greatest spell that can be cast is the one that requires no mystical power, except that of the beating heart; love.
Clergy and Temples Edit
Temples of Ceila are built as marriage halls and gathering places of communities. Though not everyone worships Ceila, her marriages are universally recognized in the eyes of all the Sosha Genia. Clerics of Ceila often travel the land and perform marriage rites.
Her temples are easy to recognize from the outside. Two large, brass maces with waving golden banners attached to each (sometimes one mace above the other, sometimes side-by-side) are displayed prominently to be viewed from a distance. These brass maces with pennant banners represent her holy symbol, the twin shooting stars.

Going on Vacation with EDSApril 11, 2017 | Author: TMJ Treatment Center
Taking a vacation is meant to be relaxing and enjoyable. But for those who have been diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS), vacation can mean additional stress and frustration. While vacationing with EDS requires some additional planning and preparation, it can still be enjoyable and fun.
Working on putting together a vacation this year? Review these tips for prepping and planning before you leave:
Stress is the last thing you need when you're getting ready to go on vacation. If you're more stressed than usual, it can lead to increased TMJ pain. By learning to manage your stress, you can avoid physical pain and be productive while planning and packing.
No matter where you're going, make sure you planning for rest breaks. Vacations can be tiring since you're out of your usual routine, so be sure to build time into your daily schedule to take a nap, relax and take care of yourself.
Not only do you want to pack comfortable clothes and shoes, but you also want to think about extra things that will make your trip more enjoyable. Whether that includes cushions for your wheelchair or bed, a special blanket, travel pillows, or whatever else may make your time away from home as comfortable as possible.
Don't be afraid to ask for help or take extra assistance that's available. If your trip takes you somewhere that requires a lot of walking, take a wheelchair or another walking aid. You may be hesitant, but it could make all the difference to your overall comfort and enjoyment.
Before you head out on vacation, it's important to check in with your EDS and TMJ specialist to help you maintain your health and manage any pain. For individuals with EDS who need help with managing their craniofacial pain and TMJ disorder, it's important to find an experienced medical professional. If you're in the Dayton, Ohio, area, Dr. John E. Mitakides is dedicated to improving your quality of life.

When it comes to tracking, RFID chips may be as good as chocolate cake. So, what if this chip was located inside the cake?
Hannes Harms, a London art student has developed the NutriSmart system, including an RFID chip you can eat. Upon eating the food that contained the chip, information concerning the food is sent to either a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone or a personal computer.
The concept is that this can transmit ingredients and nutritional data for people with allergies, or count calories for dieting people, or even warn you of food that has spoiled. It may even be utilized as a marketing tool for organic products, telling people exactly where their food came from.
There are of course many questions and concerns, one of which is price. RFID chips could be manufactured in mass quantities at a low price, but adding even a dollar to an item you chose off the dollar menu is not something most people will volunteer to do.

"Returning again to where we began"
Sermon by Chris Moore.
When Rev. Shawn approached me about this sermon, he suggested that it would also be a good opportunity to update the congregation on where I am in my process of transformation into U.U. Ministry. So, here it goes…
Last year I completed my studies at Waterloo Lutheran Seminary. I graduated with an M. Div. I also graduated with a second master's degree in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy. In the course of my studies, I managed to collect two awards for my "Achievements in Theology". Over the past year, I have been serving as a Chaplain at The Grand Valley Institution for Women in Kitchener. This allowed me to complete a second "Pastoral Counselling Education Unit" through The Canadian Assoc. for Spiritual Care.
Until now, I have lived and worked in Toronto and commuted to Kitchener/Waterloo as needed.
But as of Tuesday September 4th, 2018, I will be serving as the Intern Minister between the Unitarian Congregation of Guelph and Grand River Unitarian Congregation. Commuting is no longer a viable option. And so, I have relocated to the Kitchener/Waterloo area. After being with First for the past decade, it is a bitter sweet moment indeed. I will miss First. But I am looking forward to a new chapter in both my vocation and life. I hope to share some of the lessons learned along the way - through this Sunday's sermon. So, if you happen to be in T.O. this weekend, I hope you can join me and the rest of our worship team Sunday morning.
If not, catch us online.
Many blessings, and thank you.
Chris Moore

Mass movements, Hoffer argues, are distinguished by a "facility for make-believe … credulity, a readiness to attempt the impossible." What, one wonders, could be more impossible than suddenly vetting every single visitor to the U.S. for traces of Islamic belief? What could be more make-believe than a big, beautiful wall stretching across the entire Mexican border, paid for by the Mexican government? What could be more credulous than arguing that we could pay off our national debt through a global trade war? In a conventional political party, and in a rational political discourse, such ideas would be laughed out of contention, their self-evident impossibility disqualifying them from serious consideration. In the emotional fervor of a democratic mass movement, however, these impossibilities become icons of hope, symbols of a new way of conducting politics. Their very impossibility is their appeal.
But the most powerful engine for such a movement — the thing that gets it off the ground, shapes and solidifies and entrenches it — is always the evocation of hatred. It is, as Hoffer put it, "the most accessible and comprehensive of all unifying elements." And so Trump launched his campaign by calling undocumented Mexican immigrants a population largely of rapists and murderers. He moved on to Muslims, both at home and abroad. He has now added to these enemies — with sly brilliance — the Republican Establishment itself. And what makes Trump uniquely dangerous in the history of American politics — with far broader national appeal than, say, Huey Long or George Wallace — is his response to all three enemies. It's the threat of blunt coercion and dominance.
Could this explain why Trump and Sanders are popular with the American masses these days?
Andrew Sullivan has written a brilliant article which appears in the May 2, 2016 issue of New York Magazine. It should be a must-read for anyone serious about American (and some western nations) politics where fascist tendencies are seemingly alive and kicking. I quote below a few excerpts from his writing.
And Socrates seemed pretty clear on one sobering point: that "tyranny is probably established out of no other regime than democracy." What did Plato mean by that? Democracy, for him, I discovered, was a political system of maximal freedom and equality, where every lifestyle is allowed and public offices are filled by a lottery. And the longer a democracy lasted, Plato argued, the more democratic it would become. Its freedoms would multiply; its equality spread.
And it is when a democracy has ripened as fully as this, Plato argues, that a would-be tyrant will often seize his moment.
Plato, of course, was not clairvoyant. His analysis of how democracy can turn into tyranny is a complex one more keyed toward ancient societies than our own (and contains more wrinkles and eddies than I can summarize here). His disdain for democratic life was fueled in no small part by the fact that a democracy had executed his mentor, Socrates.
Part of American democracy's stability is owed to the fact that the Founding Fathers had read their Plato. To guard our democracy from the tyranny of the majority and the passions of the mob, they constructed large, hefty barriers between the popular will and the exercise of power. Voting rights were tightly circumscribed. The president and vice-president were not to be popularly elected but selected by an Electoral College, whose representatives were selected by the various states, often through state legislatures. The Senate's structure (with two members from every state) was designed to temper the power of the more populous states, and its term of office (six years, compared with two for the House) was designed to cool and restrain temporary populist passions. The Supreme Court, picked by the president and confirmed by the Senate, was the final bulwark against any democratic furies that might percolate up from the House and threaten the Constitution. This separation of powers was designed precisely to create sturdy firewalls against democratic wildfires.
Over the centuries, however, many of these undemocratic rules have been weakened or abolished. The franchise has been extended far beyond propertied white men. The presidency is now effectively elected through popular vote, with the Electoral College almost always reflecting the national democratic will. And these formal democratic advances were accompanied by informal ones, as the culture of democracy slowly took deeper root. For a very long time, only the elites of the political parties came to select their candidates at their quadrennial conventions, with the vote largely restricted to party officials from the various states (and often decided in, yes, smoke-filled rooms in large hotel suites). Beginning in the early 1900s, however, the parties began experimenting with primaries, and after the chaos of the 1968 Democratic convention, today's far more democratic system became the norm.
And so after demonizing most undocumented Mexican immigrants, he then vowed to round up and deport all 11 million of them by force. "They have to go" was the typically blunt phrase he used — and somehow people didn't immediately recognize the monstrous historical echoes. The sheer scale of the police and military operation that this policy would entail boggles the mind. Worse, he emphasized, after the mass murder in San Bernardino, that even the Muslim-Americans you know intimately may turn around and massacre you at any juncture. "There's something going on," he declaimed ominously, giving legitimacy to the most hysterical and ugly of human impulses.
And while a critical element of 20th-century fascism — its organized street violence — is missing, you can begin to see it in embryonic form.
Trump celebrates torture — the one true love of tyrants everywhere — not because it allegedly produces intelligence but because it has a demonstration effect. At his rallies he has recounted the mythical acts of one General John J. Pershing when confronted with an alleged outbreak of Islamist terrorism in the Philippines. Pershing, in Trump's telling, lines up 50 Muslim prisoners, swishes a series of bullets in the corpses of freshly slaughtered pigs, and orders his men to put those bullets in their rifles and kill 49 of the captured Muslim men. He spares one captive solely so he can go back and tell his friends. End of the terrorism problem.
In some ways, this story contains all the elements of Trump's core appeal. The vexing problem of tackling jihadist terror? Torture and murder enough terrorists and they will simply go away.
The racial aspect of this is also unmissable. When the enemy within is Mexican or Muslim, and your ranks are extremely white, you set up a rubric for a racial conflict. And what's truly terrifying about Trump is that he does not seem to shrink from such a prospect; he relishes it.
For, like all tyrants, he is utterly lacking in self-control.
Those who believe that Trump's ugly, thuggish populism has no chance of ever making it to the White House seem to me to be missing this dynamic. Neo-fascist movements do not advance gradually by persuasion; they first transform the terms of the debate, create a new movement based on untrammeled emotion, take over existing institutions, and then ruthlessly exploit events. And so current poll numbers are only reassuring if you ignore the potential impact of sudden, external events — an economic downturn or a terror attack in a major city in the months before November. I have no doubt, for example, that Trump is sincere in his desire to "cut the head off" ISIS, whatever that can possibly mean. But it remains a fact that the interests of ISIS and the Trump campaign are now perfectly aligned. Fear is always the would-be tyrant's greatest ally.

"There are some ways development progress is easy to measure," MaineBiz reports Feb. 28. "For instance, a fully-occupied four-story, 22,000-square-foot building that had been mostly vacant for decades." The story also tells of the historical connection the building has to the community as well as noting that more changes to the downtown are coming, including construction of the Bill and Joan Alfond Main Street Commons. "This is going to be a really vibrant Main Street," Brian Clark, vice president for planning, told MaineBiz.Read full article

The world's last remaining sail-powered whaling ship, the Charles W. Morgan, conducted her 38th voyage this past summer traveling from Mystic, CT to the Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary (SBNMS) as a symbolic journey to one of the world's premier whale watching sites. This voyage captured the renaissance of the Morgan from a whale hunting ship to an emissary of ocean conservation. While in the sanctuary, researchers, historians, artists and authors on board the Morgan conducted research and outreach activities to highlight the sanctuary's role in whale conservation and ocean research.
The Northeast Underwater Research, Technology and Education Center (NURTEC) was asked to work with partners from NOAA, SBNMS and the Mystic Seaport to establish a comprehensive ship to shore broadband wireless network to support telepresence broadcasts from the Morgan as she sailed in the Sanctuary in the Gulf of Maine. The concept of telepresence as envisioned for the Morgan's voyage was not simply broadcasting a single camera feed, but to turn the Morgan into a mobile "news studio" that allowed multiple cameras onboard to focus on the business of sailing the ship, interviews with experts in maritime history and marine mammal biology onboard, and other onboard programming. The onboard studio was able to interact with historians, scientists and archaeologists across the globe (at other National Marine Sanctuaries for example) with interesting and associated content to offer.
NURTEC developed the capacity to conduct low-cost, broadband, telepresence broadcasts from ship to shore nine years ago in support of similar maritime heritage focused projects with the SBNMS. This capacity includes both ship-side and shore-side equipment and the know-how to design, install and operate this equipment to set up a ship to shore network with enough throughput to deliver compressed high definition video from ship to shore. In 2005 NURTEC and SBNMS conducted a "live dive" that featured live underwater video from the Center's ROV as it explored the wreck of the steamship Portland that was then sent from the RV Connecticut over 20 miles back to shore to the Pilgrim Monument in Provincetown, MA, and from there onto the Web. The Center conducted a similar, but more complex telepresence activity with SBNMS in 2006 to highlight from the wreck of the twin schooners the Palmer and the Crary.
The public was able to follow the Morgan's visit to the sanctuary on OceansLIVE (oceanslive.org) that broadcast three live shows daily from the vessel and other locations on July 11-13th. Each of the shows featured interviews and commentary with historians, scientists, authors and artists discussing the shift from whaling to watching in New England. The OceansLIVE website has archived the shows that are available for viewing at the oceanslive.org web site.

Why does your company only have 2 stars?I had a potential client ask me that the other day and that is hard to understand and explain. So let me shed some light into the answer for not only me, but my industry in general.
We are property managers and our phones only ring for two reasons: either someone saw one of our For Rent signs and wants to know the price and bedrooms, or something is wrong. Either something broke, their payment is going to be late or they got a late notice, their neighbor is too loud or parked in their spot, or the trash company is late. And when we won't waive their late fee, or their cabinet door being loose is not an emergency after hours repair call, or we don't let them move out 3 months into a 12 month lease, they go online and give us a poor review. How do we defend that?
To complicate matters the phone never rings when tenants are happy with service. 10 year tenants who live in good units with good maintenance never call and say " I love this, you were great" as satisfied tenants simply are quiet. So we only get negative remarks...and not sure how we can get good remarks without gift cards or fake tenants. And the larger you are the more tenants the more chances for unhappiness.
So its not just us, its the industry. Don't judge us on unhappy tenants who didn't get their late fees removed or their application approved with their 5 dogs and 3 evictions, but by the silence. If we manage 200 units and have 3 complaints that's pretty good!
Its in the quiet lies the truth.

text: The resurgence of the right in Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel wins a fourth term but her power is reduced. 25 Sep 2017 21:23 GMT Politics, Germany, Europe She was expected to win, and she did. But Angela Merkel's re-election victory in Germany on Sunday is bittersweet. The Chancellor's Christian Democratic Union won 34 percent of seats in the parliament or Bundestag - that's enough to be the biggest party, but not for a majority government. She'll start talks to build a coalition. At the same time, Merkel's contending with a surge of support for the AfD - the nationalists won the largest far-right representation in parliament since Hitler's Nazis in the 1940s. For the first time in decades, a right-wing party that's opposed her every move has a seat at the political table. Merkel says her party has a clear mandate. How will she govern this time?

Is there an explanation for the thousands of people who have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle? What can we learn from Charles Lindbergh, Christopher Columbus, and Bruce Gernon - the coauthor of The Fog --all of whom survived their frightening encounter in the Bermuda Triangle? Others have seen parts of this phenomenon and some have seen it, but vanished. Gernon is the only person to have witnessed its birth stage through the mature stage, to enter the heart of the Timestorm, escaping through a Tunnel Vortex and resulting in a time warp of 30 minutes forward in time, and 100 miles forward in space.
After 31 years of research Gernon discovered how he had flown those 100 miles in such a short time and never seen the Earth or sky around him. He was captured by what he calls Electronic Fog. There are dozens of planes and boats that have been in this fog through out history. And there are dozens more that have crashed because it can induce spatial disorientation. Many have disappeared and some have even disintegrated. All of the people that have been in this fog thought they were traveling THROUGH the fog. Until Gernon's theory, no one ever realized it is similar to Saint Elmo's Fire; it attaches itself to the vessel and travels WITH it.
Whatever happened to Flight 19-five navy bombers that vanished on a routine training mission-and the untold numbers of others who have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle? What we learn from intrepid adventures like Christopher Columbus, Charles Lindbergh, and Bruce Gernon-the co-author of THE FOG-who survived frightening encounters in the Triangle and lived to tell the tale?
THE FOG presents pilot Bruce Gernon's groundbreaking new theory of the Bermuda Triangle, based upon his own firsthand experiences, eyewitness reports from other close-call Triangle survivors, and leading scientific research. Gernon believes that a rare natural phenomenon may be behind many of the seemingly paranormal happenings in the Triangle, causing time distortions, pilot disorientation, and equipment malfunctions.
Gernon's exciting new theory of the Bermuda Triangle is based upon his firsthand experiences, reports of other survivors, and scientific research. The notorious Bermuda Triangle hasn't given up all its secrets. THE FOG explores the Triangle's connection to UFOs, a secret navy base on Andros Island, and a possible link to a vanished ancient civilization.
Both Bruce Gernon and Rob MacGregor live in South Florida, on the edge of the Bermuda Triangle. Bruce Gernon is a pilot who has flown extensively in the Caribbean. He has appeared in many documentaries about the Bermuda Triangle. Rob MacGregor has written several books, and has won the prestigious Edgar Allan Poe award in mystery writing.
