Horse for Sale, How to Buy a Horse or Sell the One You Have

A well-balanced horse has a better chance of moving efficiently with less stress. Balance refers to the relationship between the forehand and hindquarters, between the limbs and the trunk of the body, and between the right and the left sides of the horse.
The center of gravity is a theoretical point in the horse's body around which the mass of the horse is equally distributed. At a standstill, the center of gravity is the point of intersection of a vertical line dropped from the highest point of the withers and a line from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttock. This usually is a spot behind the elbow and about two thirds the distance down from the topline of the back.
Although the center of gravity remains relatively constant when a well-balanced horse moves, most horses must learn to rebalance their weight (and that of the rider and tack) when ridden. In order to simply pick up a front foot to step forward, the horse must shift his weight rearward. How much the weight must shift to the hindquarters depends on the horse's conformation, the position of the rider, the gait, the degree of collection, and the style of the performance. The more a horse collects, the more he steps under his center of gravity with his hind limbs.
If the forehand is proportionately larger than the hindquarters, especially if it is associated with a downhill topline, the horse's center of gravity tends to be forward. This causes the horse to travel heavy on his front feet, setting the stage for increased concussion, stress, and lameness. When the forehand and hindquarters are balanced and the withers are level with or higher than the level of the croup, the horse's center of gravity is located more rearward. Such a horse can carry more weight with his hindquarters, thus move in balance and exhibit a lighter, freer motion with his forehand than the horse with withers lower than the croup.
When evaluating yearlings, take into consideration the growth spurts which result in a temporarily uneven topline. However, be suspicious of a two-year-old that show an extreme downhill configuration. Even if a horse's topline is level, if he has an excessively heavily muscled forehand in comparison to his hindquarters, he is probably going to travel heavy on the forehand and have difficulty moving forward freely.
A balanced horse has approximately equal lower limb (front) length and depth of body. The lower limb length (chest floor to the ground) should be equal to the distance from the chest floor to the top of the withers. Proportionately shorter lower limbs are associated with a choppy stride.
The horse's height or overall limb length (point of withers to ground) should approximate the length of the horse's body (the point of the shoulder to the point of buttock). A horse with a body a great deal longer than its height often experiences difficulty in synchronization and coordination of movement. A horse with limbs proportionately longer than the body may be predisposed to forging, over-reaching and other gait defects.
When viewing a horse overall, the right side of the horse should be symmetric to the left side.
Proportions and Curvature of the Topline
The ratio of the topline's components, the curvature of the topline, the strength of loin, the sharpness of withers, the slope to the croup, and the length of the underline in relation to the length of back all affect a horse's movement.
The neck is measured from the poll to the highest point of the withers. The back measurement is taken from the withers to the loin located above the last rib and in front of the pelvis. The hip length is measured from the loin to the point of buttock.
A neck that is shorter than the back tends to decrease a horse's overall flexibility and balance. Be sure to look at the neck from both sides because the mane side often appears shorter than the non-mane side. A back that is a great deal longer than the neck tends to hollow. A very short hip, in relation to the neck or back, is associated with lack of propulsion and often a downhill configuration. A rule of thumb is that the neck should be greater than or equal to the back and that the hip should be at least two-thirds the length of the back.
The neck should have a graceful shape that rises up out of the withers, not dip downward in front of the withers. The upward curve to the neck should be more pronounced in a dressage prospect than in a hunter or western prospect. The shape of the neck is determined by the S shape formed by the seven cervical vertebrae. A longer, flatter (more horizontal) configuration to the upper vertebrae results in a smoother attachment at the poll (as if the neck is behind the skull or the head is attached on the end of a flexible balancing arm) and results in a cleaner, more supple throat latch. If the upper vertebrae form a short, diagonal line to the skull, it is associated with an abrupt attachment (as if the neck attaches below the skull or the head is stuck on top of the neck) resulting in a thick throat latch, lack of flexibility, and possibly a hammerhead.
The curve to the lower neck vertebrae should be short and shallow and attach relatively high on the horse's chest. The thickest point in the neck is at the base of the lower curve. Ewe necked horses often have necks that have a undesirable long, deep lower curve and attach low to the chest. The attachment of the neck to the shoulder should be smooth without an abnormal dip in front of the shoulder blade.
The upper neck length (poll to withers) should be at least twice the lower neck length (throat latch to chest). This is dictated to a large degree by the slope of the shoulder. A horse with a very steep shoulder has an undesirable ratio (approaching 1:1) between the upper neck length and lower neck length. The more sloping the shoulder, the longer the neck's top line becomes and the shorter the neck's underline. The muscling of the topline of the neck should be more developed than the muscling of the underside of the neck. A thick underside to the neck is associated with a horse that braces against the bit and hollow's the neck's top line.
The back should look like it has a natural place for a saddle beginning with prominent withers that are located above or slightly behind (but not exaggeratedly in front of) the heart girth. The heart girth is the circumference of the barrel just behind the front limbs. The withers should gradually blend into the back ideally ending just in front of the midpoint of the back. The withers provide a place for the neck muscles and ligamentum nuchae to anchor and they should attach at the highest point of the withers; there should not be a dip in front of or behind the withers.
The withers also act as a fulcrum. As a horse lowers and extends its neck, the back rises. Low, mutton withers limit a horse's ability to raise his back. A horse with a well-sloped shoulder usually has correctly-placed withers. The heart girth should be deep which indicates adequate room for the heart and lungs.
The muscles that run alongside the spine should be flat and strong rather than sloped or weak. The back muscles must help counteract the gravitational pull from the weight of the horse's intestines as well as support the rider's weight. The line of the back should be flat or level, not hollow (dipped or concave) or roached (bowed up or convex). A hollow back is associated with weakness and a roached back with stiffness.
The loin is located along the lumbar vertebrae from the last rib-bearing (dorsal) vertebrae to the lumbosacral joint. The loin should be well muscled and relatively short. Horses termed "long-backed" often have an acceptable back length but a long, weak loin. A horse with a weak and/or long loin and loose coupling tends to have a hollow back. (The coupling is the area behind the last rib and in front of a vertical line dropped from the point of hip.) A horse that chronically hollows its back may be predisposed to back problems.
The loin and the coupling are what transfer the motion of the hindquarters up through the back and forward to the forehand, so they must be strong and well connected. A short, heavily muscled loin has great potential strength, power, and durability yet could lack the flexibility that a more moderately muscled loin may have. Loin muscling (best viewed from the top) should appear springy and resilient not stiff and cramped or weak and saggy. A lumpy appearance in the loin area may indicate partial dislocations of the vertebrae.
The croup is measured from the lumbosacral joint (approximately indicated by the peak above and slightly behind the points of hip) to the tail head. The croup should be fairly long as this is associated with a good length to the hip and a desirable, forward-placed lumbosacral joint. The slope to the croup will depend on the breed and use. Quarter Horses and Thoroughbreds traditionally have round croups; Arabs and Warmbloods have flat croups.
The topline should be "short" relative to the underline. Such a combination indicates strength plus desirable length of stride.
The head should be functionally sound. The brain coordinates the horse's movements, so adequate cranial space is necessary. The length from the base of the ear to the eye should be at least 1/3 the distance from ear to nostril. The width between the eyes should be a similar distance as that from the base of the ear to the eye. A wide poll with ears far apart is associated with the atlas connecting behind the skull rather than below it. A wide open throat latch allows proper breathing during flexion; a narrow throat latch is often associated with a ewe-neck attachment. Eyes set off to the side of the head allow the horse to have a panoramic view. The eye should be prominent without bulging. Prominence refers to the bony eye socket, not a protruding eyeball. The expression of the eye should indicate a quiet, tractable temperament.
The muzzle can be trim, but if it is too small, the nostrils may be pinched and there may be inadequate space for the incisors resulting in dental misalignments. The incisors should meet evenly with no overhang of the upper incisors (parrot mouth) or jutting out of lower incisors. The width of the cheek bones indicates the space for molars; adequate room is required for the sideways grinding of food. The shape of the nasal bone and forehead is largely a matter of breed and personal preference.
Quality is depicted by "flat" bone (indicated by the cannon bone), clean joints, sharply defined (refined) features, smooth muscling, overall blending of parts, and a fine, smooth hair coat. "Flat" bone is a misnomer because the cannon bone is round. Flat actually refers to well-defined tendons that stand out cleanly behind the cannon bone and give the impression the bone is "flat".
Substance refers to thickness, depth, and breadth of bone, muscle, and other tissues. Muscle substance is described by type of muscle, thickness of muscle, length of muscles, and position of attachment. Other substance factors include weight of the horse, height of the horse, size of the hoofs, depth of the heart girth and flank, and spring of rib.
Best viewed from the rear, spring of rib refers to the curve of the ribs; a flat-ribbed horse may have inadequate heart and lung space. Besides providing room for the heart, lungs, and digestive tract, a well-sprung rib cage provides a natural, comfortable place for a rider's legs. A slab-sided horse with a shallow heart girth is difficult to sit properly; an extremely wide-barreled horse can be stressful to the rider's legs.
Substance of bone indicates adequacy of the ratio of the bone to the horse's body weight. Bone measurement is taken on an adult horse around the circumference of the cannon bone just below the knee. For riding horses, an adequate ratio is approximately .7 inches of bone for every 100# of body weight. Using that thumb rule, a 1200 # horse should have an 8.4 inch circumference cannon bone for his weight to be adequately supported.
Correctness of Angles and Structures The correct alignment of the skeletal components provides the framework for muscular attachments. The length and slope to the shoulder, arm, forearm, croup, hip, stifle, and pasterns should be moderate and work well together. There should be a straight alignment of bones and large clean joints when viewed from front and rear.
Both forelimbs should appear to be of equal length and size and to bear equal weight. A line dropped from the point of the shoulder to the ground should bisect the limb. The toes should point forward and the feet should be as far apart on the ground as the limbs are at their origin in the chest. (See Movement for deviations) The shoulder should be well-muscled without being heavy and coarse.
The muscles running along the inside and outside of the forearm should go all the way to the knee, ending in a gradual taper, rather than ending abruptly a few inches above the knee. It is generally felt that this will allow the horse to use its front limbs in a smooth sweeping, forward motion. The pectoral muscles at the horse's chest floor (an inverted V) should also reach far down on to the limb. These and the forearm muscles help a horse move its limbs laterally and medially as well as to elevate the forehand.
Front limbs, when viewed from the side should exhibit a composite of moderate angles, so that shock absorption will be efficient. The shoulder angle is measured along the spine of the scapula from the point of the shoulder to the point of the withers. The shorter and straighter the shoulder, the shorter and quicker the stride and the more stress and concussion transmitted to the limb. Also important is the angle the shoulder makes with the arm (which should be at least 90 degrees) and the angle of the pastern.
The length of the humerus (point of shoulder to the point of elbow) affects stride length. A long humerus is associated with a long reaching stride and good lateral ability; a short humerus with a short choppy stride and poor lateral ability. The steeper the angle of the humerus, generally, the higher the action; the more toward horizontal, the lower the action.
To evaluate the medial-lateral slope of the humerus from the front, find the left point of shoulder and (a spot in front of) the left point of elbow. Do the same on the right side. Connect the four points. If the resulting box is square, the humerus lies in an ideal position for straight lower limbs and straight travel. If the bottom of the box is wider, the horse may toe in and travel with loose elbows and paddle. If the bottom of the box is narrower, the horse will likely toe out, have tight elbows and wing in.
The way the shoulder blade and arm (humerus) are conformed and attach to the chest dictate, to a large degree, the alignment of the lower limbs. Whether the toes point in or out is often a result of upper limb structures. That is why it is dangerous in many cases to attempt to alter a limb's structure and alignment through radical hoof adjustments. When assessing the lower limbs, be sure the horse is standing square.
The knees should be large and clean, not small and puffy. The bone column should be functionally straight and sound, not buck-kneed (over-at-the-knee) or calf-kneed (back-at-the-knee). The calf-kneed horse suffers strain at the back of the knee and concussion at the front of the knee which can result in carpal chips and other problems. The buck-kneed horse is unstable as the knees shake and are on the verge of buckling forward.
The flexor tendons running behind the cannon bone should be even and straight, not pinched in (tied-in) at the back of the knee or lumpy (indicating possible bowed tendon) anywhere from the knee to the fetlock.
Normal front pastern angles range from 53 to 58 degrees. Exceptionally long, sloping pasterns can result in tendon strain, bowed tendon, and damaged proximal sesamoids. Short, upright pasterns deliver greater concussive stresses to fetlock and pastern joints which may result in osselets, ringbone, and possibly navicular syndrome. Fetlock joints should be large enough to allow free movement but they should be devoid of any puffiness. The hoof should be appropriate for the size of the horse, well-shaped and symmetric with high quality hoof horn, adequate height and width of heel, and a concave sole. The hoof angle should be the same as the pastern angle making a smooth continuous line. For more information on hoof conformation and management see
Maximum Hoof Power
Hind limbs
The bone structure and muscling of the hind limb should be appropriate for the intended use. Endurance horses are characterized by longer, flatter muscles; stock horses by shorter, thicker muscles; all-around horses by moderate muscles.
Hind limbs, when viewed from the side should exhibit a composite of moderate angles, so that shock absorption will be efficient. A line from the point of buttock to the ground should touch the hock and end slightly behind the bulbs of the heels. A hind limb in front of this line is often sickle hocked; a hind limb behind this line is often post-legged or camped out.
The hindquarter should be symmetric and well connected to the barrel and the lower limb. The gluteals should tie well forward into the back. The hamstrings should tie down low into the Achilles tendon of the hock.
The relationship of the length of the bones, the angles of the joints, and the overall height of the hind limb will dictate the type of action and the amount of power produced. The length and slope to the pelvis (croup) is measured from the point of hip to the point of buttock. A flat, level croup is associated with hind limb action that occurs behind the hindquarters rather than underneath it. A goose rump is a very steep croup that places the hind limbs so far under the horse's belly that structural problems may occur due to the over-angulation.
A short femur is associated with the short, rapid stride characteristic of a sprinter. A long femur results in a stride with more reach. High hocks are associated with snappy hock action and a difficulty getting the hocks under the body. Low hocks tend to have a smoother hock action and the horse usually has an easier time getting the hocks under the body. The gaskin length (stifle to hock) should be shorter than the femur length (buttock to stifle). A gaskin longer than the femur tends to be associated with cow hocks and sickle hocks.
Hind limbs with open angles (a "straighter" hind limb when viewed from the side) have a shorter overall limb length and produce efficient movement suitable for hunters or race horses. Hind limbs with more closed joints (more angulation to the hind limb) have a longer overall limb length and produce a more vertical, folding action necessary for the collection characteristic of a high level dressage horse. If the overall limb length is too long, however, it can be associated with either camped out or sickle hocked conformation. No matter what the hind limb conformation is at rest, however, it is the way which it connects to the loin and operates in motion that is most important.
From the rear, both hind limbs should appear symmetric, to be of the same length and to bear equal weight. A left to right symmetry should be evident between the peaks of the croup, the points of the hip, the points of the buttock, and the midline position of the tail. The widest point of the hindquarters should be the width between the stifles. A line dropped from the point of the buttock to the ground will essentially bisect the limb but hind limbs are not designed to point absolutely straight forward. It is necessary and normal for the stifles to point slightly outward in order to clear the horse's belly. This causes the points of the hocks to face slightly inward and the toes to point outward to the same degree. The rounder the belly and/or the shorter the loin and coupling, the more the stifles must point out so the more the points of the hocks will appear to point inward. The more slab-sided and/or longer coupled a horse, the more straight ahead the stifles and hocks can point. When the cannon bone faces outward, the horse is often cow-hocked; when cannons face inward, bow-legged.
Soundness problems can occur when the hocks point absolutely straight ahead and the hooves toe out; then there is stress on the hock and fetlock joints. The hind feet should be as far apart on the ground as the limbs are at their origin in the hip. Normal pastern angles for the hind range from 55 to 60 degrees.
Subj: Gait of Foxtrotters

Perhaps you could direct this question to Ms. Zeigler, who seems to have lots of knowledge on horse gaits, etc. A recently published article on Foxtrotting show horses said that when the show Foxtrotter walks, and foxtrots, it does not bend at the knee. Is that possible ? It seems that a stiff front leg would not give as smooth a ride, and would also subject those horses to be "stumbley" on the trail, or flat dangerous in rough terrain. It seems that in the long run, this type of movement would be detrimental to the breed as a trail and pleasure riding horse. Your thoughts....
In answer to the question on bending the knee at the fox trot. Of course they bend at the knee, they could not move their legs if they did not! I believe that what the writer was trying to say was that Fox Trotters do not have high knee action, and tend to reach "out" rather than "up" with their front legs. This type of leg use in front is different from that of the typical Tennesee Walker or Saddlebred, for example, but similar to that of a Tbred or good moving Quarter Horse.
For this reason, good conformation in the front quarters of a Fox Trotter should include a long, well sloped shoulder and a long, more horizontal than vertical humerus. This predisposes to reach rather than action. In a TWH, however, an upright shoulder and more vertical humerus are desireable because they will predispose to high, short action in front.
The humerus bone is; " the bone running from the front point of the shoulder to the elbow"
Hope this answers the question.

Croup. The croup is of fundamental importance in animal mechanics, because it is the corner-stone of the transmission of the posterior impulse (hocks) to the anterior, and its inclination (according to the axis of the coxa) is directly correlated to the length of the posterior muscles (gluteals and ischeo-tibials) and hence to their angulation. In fact, the femur forms an angle with the coxa which varies from 90° to 120°, and since the metatarsal is always perpendicular to the ground, it is obvious that the inclination of the thigh (femur) and leg (tibia) will depend upon the slope of the croup. We will discuss this further in the section on hindquarters.
A horizontal croup, typical of gallopers, presupposes long ischio-tibial muscles with a consequently greater ability to contract, and thus an ample oscillation of the limbs. An inclined croup, typical of trotters, presupposes shorter muscles. In the Cane corso the croup is slightly inclined: in fact, its typical gait is a lengthened trot.
The croup should be long, because it acts as the fulcrum of transmission; the efficiency of action is in relation to its length.
The width of the croup is in relation to the schelectric construction, and consequently to the development of the muscular mass. The croup of the Cane Corso must be broad because he must develop more power than speed.
A serious fault is a steep croup (over 35°) since it means an insufficiently angulated posterior, caused by the shortening and weakening of the ischio-tibial muscles; the dog, to avoid fatigue, puts one bone radius over the other as vertically as possible with incorrect articulation of the coxofemural and the knee. This pathology often goes with a croup which is higher than the withers and with an excessive weight on the anterior, causing a difficult and clumsy movement. Just as bad but rarer is a horizontal croup (under 15°) which determines a femur-tibial straightening and angles which are too open (If this is associated with a short croup, movement is seriously limited).
Tail. When the Cane Corso relaxes his tail it should look like the backbone of a fish. Being wide at the root and narrowing toward the end, the adipose tissues which cover the caudal vertebrae, resting on the buttocks, give it this characteristic "V" shape. A low-set tail usually goes with a sloping croup. If the tail is too narrow at the root it will be held candle-like in action, and this too should be penalized.

At least three people, two Egyptians and one US citizen, have been killed in clashes between Islamists and the wider opposition in Alexandria, in a situation that evidences that the Egyptian Revolution is not yet finished at all, as the reactionary President Morsi has become Mubarak's continuity, bowing to Israel in all and attempting to use the popular revolution to introduce reactionary measures such as legalization of genital mutilation of women (un-islamic but very traditional in many misogynistic societies, especially in Egypt, ~90% of women affected, Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia).
The clashes erupted as anti-islamist popular march reached the Islamist AJP's see in Alexandria, the second largest city of Egypt, where a rival concentration of Islamist militants had been organized as well. Two of the victims were killed by fundamentalist thugs apparently using knives as weapons.
A third person, also a secularist protester, was murdered in Port Said, as a bomb exploded as a demonstration passed by.
The protests are just a warm up for those scheduled on Sunday, anniversary of the crowning of Morsi as President of Egypt.
18 22 million signatures have been collected demanding Morsi's resignation, more than the 13 million votes he gathered in the presidential elections a year ago. Egypt has some 85 million inhabitants (incl. c. 35 million minors).
All this: the demonstrations and the signature collection have been organized by Tamarod (Rebellion).

Lithuanian and Poland Railways Will Develop the Transportation of Cargo via Intermodal Transport
The company "Lithuanian Railways", which intends to become the leader of mobility and logistics in Central and Eastern Europe, and one of the largest cargo transportation companies in Poland "PKP Cargo" agreed on cooperation regarding the transportation of cargo via intermodal transport. In this way, the negative impact on the environment is intended to be diminished and road safety is intended to be increased.
On 5 September, at the International Economics Forum, which is organized in Krynica, Poland, the heads of the companies signed an agreement envisaging this. Based on this cooperation agreement, "Lithuanian Railways" and "PKP Cargo" will strive to ensure the incentive of carriages between Lithuania and Poland, as well as the development of intermodal transport projects.
"It is symbolic that this agreement, by which it is intended to incite carriages in an environmental friendly and safe for humans' way, was signed in one of the most important economic events in the Middle and Eastern Region of Europe. Together with "PKP Cargo", we will develop cargo transportations via intermodal transport. This kind of transportation method will not only save the expenses, which the consignors and transporters incur, but will also diminish environment pollution, traffic jams, noise, traffic accidents and other negative impact, which the road transport has on the environment", - said Egidijus Lazauskas the head of the Cargo Transportation Management of "Lithuanian Railways".
"Lithuanian Railways" control intermodal terminals in Vilnius, Kaunas and Šeštokai, where containers and semi-trailers are reloaded. While "PKP Cargo" controls 25 reloading terminals in Europe, out of which 4 are intermodal. It is envisaged in the agreement that in the next year the companies will start to provide transportation services via the railroad on the "door to door" principle, by connecting "PKP Cargo" terminals with the intermodal terminals controlled by "Lithuanian Railways". "Lithuanian Railways" and "PKP Cargo" will strive to agree on specific carriage conditions until the end of this year.
"PKP Cargo Group" is the second largest company in Europe that transports cargo via the railroad transport. The annual income of it is 4.55B Zlotys and annually it transports 116M tons of cargo.

Will the cloud support cell phone agents to be added there? We would like to be able to add our cell phones to the cloud to get rid of the on-prem server used just for cell phones.
Hi AJ,
I assume here you mean something like Android devices or iPhones.
The answer is yes, but we don't yet know quite when we'll get there. The team is hard at work on a completely new and refreshed Mac agent which should be coming in a couple months, and we'll be looking at a refreshed Android agent next. As you know, we have support for these on the VIPRE Endpoint Server side but not yet on the Endpoint Cloud side.
So yes, the plan is to convert these over to work for Cloud but unfortunately I don't have a date for you yet. We are however tracking this as:

Estate Planning for Digital Assets
As more and more of our personal and professional lives move from paper to the realm of the internet and other electronic formats, the issue of estate planning for digital assets has become very important. While having access to social media accounts such as Facebook and Twitter are important for sentimental reasons, access to financial accounts is critical for a person trying to care for an ailing family member or settle the estate of that family member after they die.
The New York Times has reported that 45 percent of high-net-worth people questioned in a poll had not organized passwords and account information in a place where their families could find them. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/25/your-money/forgotten-in-estate-planning-online-passwords.html. The result is more time, money, and anguish spent by family members trying to settle a person's estate after they die. In some cases, the family of a deceased person may not even know that accounts exist.
While the scenario described above can be inconvenient, not having access to online financial accounts can be a matter of life and death in a situation where an ailing family member is being cared for. On top of having a durable power of attorney, it is critical that a caregiver be able to access online accounts to be able to pay for catastrophic illness or end of life care. If access to the digital accounts has not been planned for in advance, it may be too late once a person becomes ill or is in an accident.
There are several ways to address the management of online accounts in the estate planning context. First, the account information can be left with the attorney that has drafted other estate planning documents such as a last will and testament or powers of attorney. Care must be taken to update the document any time a password is changed or an account moved. Next, there are online services that allow people to create a "virtual safe deposit box" where they can document all accounts and passwords in one central location.
So next time you update your estate plan, be sure to consider how your digital assets will be accessed, maintained, and distributed once you become incapacitated or die. Contact an attorney at the McCleskey law firm for more information on estate planning for digital assets.

Is The UN Using Vaccines To Secretly Sterilize Women All Over The Globe?
Posted by EndlessMemories in Control Grid, Eugenics & Depopulation, News, Vaccines on November 12, 2014
via: TheEconomicCollapse
Michael Snyder
November 11, 2014
In some areas of the world, purposely cutting off someone's family line is considered to be one of the most wicked things that you can possibly do. But that appears to be precisely what the United Nations is doing. Two UN organizations, the WHO and UNICEF, have just been caught red-handed administering "tetanus vaccines" laced with sterilizing agents to girls and women in Kenya. And as you will see below, this is not the first time that this has happened. Apparently there is a well-coordinated international program to use vaccines to secretly sterilize women in poor countries all over the planet. The United States needs to immediately demand a full investigation of the UN vaccine program, but I wouldn't count on that ever happening under the Obama administration.
There have always been anecdotal stories of women all over the globe being unable to have children after receiving UN vaccines. But now we have scientific proof. Lab tests that were recently conducted found an antigen that causes miscarriages in the vaccines that were being given to girls and women in Kenya. A story that was posted on Life Site News about this caused shockwaves all over the Internet. The following is an excerpt from that report…
Kenya's Catholic bishops are charging two United Nations organizations with sterilizing millions of girls and women under cover of an anti-tetanus inoculation program sponsored by the Kenyan government.
According to a statement released Tuesday by the Kenya Catholic Doctors Association, the organization has found an antigen that causes miscarriages in a vaccine being administered to 2.3 million girls and women by the World Health Organization and UNICEF. Priests throughout Kenya reportedly are advising their congregations to refuse the vaccine.
"We sent six samples from around Kenya to laboratories in South Africa. They tested positive for the HCG antigen," Dr. Muhame Ngare of the Mercy Medical Centre in Nairobi told LifeSiteNews. "They were all laced with HCG."
So exactly what is HCG?
The following is how Natural News described what it does…
HCG is a chemical developed by the World Health Organization for sterilization purposes. When injected into the body of a young woman, it causes a pregnancy to be destroyed by the body's own antibody response to the HCG, resulting in a spontaneous abortion. Its effectiveness lasts for years, causing abortions in women up to three years after the injections.
This is an absolutely horrifying scandal, but the mainstream media is totally ignoring it.
Perhaps that is because they agree with what the United Nations is trying to do.
And should we actually be surprised at what the UN is doing? After all, the UN has publicly declared in writing that it intends to reduce population growth in Kenya…
The United Nations and its oftentimes barbaric population-control apparatus are under fire again after releasing a deeply controversial report claiming that the African population of Kenya is too large and growing too quickly. To deal with the supposed "challenge," as the UN and its "partners" in the national government put it, international bureaucrats are demanding stepped up efforts to brainwash Kenyan women into wanting fewer children. Also on the agenda: more taxpayer-funded "family-planning" and "reproductive-health" schemes to reduce the number of Africans to levels considered "desirable" by the UN.
Critics promptly lambasted the plot as undisguised eugenics, with some experts calling it a true example of the "war on women." Among other concerns, analysts outraged by the report noted that the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) and the establishment's fiendish efforts to slash human populations — especially those considered "undesirable" by self-appointed guardians of the gene pool — have a long and sordid history going back decades. Today, the agenda marches on, as illustrated in the latest UN report calling for drastically reduced numbers of Kenyans.
When very evil people tell you that they intend to do something, you should take them very seriously.
And without a doubt, the UN is evil. To use vaccines to secretly sterilize women against their will is almost too wicked to describe with words.
But the UN will keep doing this until we demand that they stop. Back in the 1990s, similar sterilization campaigns using tetanus vaccines were being conducted in Nicaragua, Mexico and the Philippines. The following comes from thinktwice.com…
Here are the known facts concerning the tetanus vaccination campaigns in Mexico and the Philippines:
* Only women are vaccinated, and only the women between the ages of 15 and 45. (In Nicaragua the age range was 12-49.) But aren't men at least as likely as young women to come into contact with tetanus? And what of the children? Why are they excluded?
* Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) hormone has been found in the vaccines. It does not belong there — in the parlance of the O.J. Simpson murder trial, the vaccine has been "contaminated."
* The vaccination protocols call for multiple injections — three within three months and a total of five altogether. But, since tetanus vaccinations provide protection for ten years or more, why are multiple inoculations called for?(3)
* WHO has been actively involved for more than 20 years in the development of an anti-fertility vaccine utilizing hCG tied to tetanus toxoid as a carrier — the exact same coupling as has been found in the Mexican-Philippine-Nicaragua vaccines.(4)
And these are just the incidents that we know about.
I think that it would be safe to say that wherever the UN is vaccinating people for tetanus all over the world there are probably sterilizing agents in those vaccines.
POLL: Monsanto Third Most Hated Company in the World
Posted by EndlessMemories in Big Agriculture & Big Biotechnology, Control Grid, GMOs, Monsanto, News on November 12, 2014
via: NaturalSociety.com
Mike Barrett
November 11, 2014
Back in 2011, we declared Monsanto to be the worst company of the year for threatening both human health and the environment at large. Our decision was met with massive support, even amid the still growing climate of understanding when it came to what Monsanto and mega biotech at large were truly doing to the food supply. In 2014, however, the global resistance is making even greater strides.
Now, a relatively new poll from Nielsen found that Monsanto's reputation ranked 3rd worst among 60 high-profile companies, right behind oil juggernaut BP (responsible for the worst oil spill in U.S. history) and Bank of America (known for being a key player in the meltdown of the financial market).
Monsanto, a major biotech corporation responsible for genetically modifying and taking over many of the nation's crops, isn't necessarily a consumer-facing company. Yet it faces public opposition unlike no other.
As reported by 247Wallst:
"3. Monsanto
> Reputation score: 57.27
> 2013 Reputation score: 61.70
…few businesses have had such a long-running negative public perception. The company's promotion of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) has been controversial because many consumers remain suspicious about crop engineering. Monsanto has also actively worked to protect seed patents, including suing farmers who have used its seeds without permission and proper payments. The company's opposition to proposed GMO labeling laws, which require that foods sold to consumers containing GMOs include a label, has also not helped its image."

Is The CDC Trustworthy? [Part Deux]
Posted by EndlessMemories in Abolishing The Blue Pill Matrix - TRPG Original Content, Agenda 21, Big Pharma & Medical Mafia, CDC, Control Grid, News, Pandemics, Vaccines on November 10, 2014
November 10, 2014
If the CDC's [Centers For Disease Control] credibility [or lack thereof] hasn't been teetering on the brink, then it has surely has fallen of the deep-end.
The CDC's ineptitude was proven – yet again – with the fact that they are admitting that Ebola can now spread through the air, despite them saying not long ago contradictory statements.
Of course, now that Ebola can spread through the air, 250,000 hazmat suits are to be sent to Dallas, TX.
There have many folks attempting to make this alleged pandemic [in which nigh nobody seems to get sick, and seems mostly composed of smoke and mirrors] seem far larger than it really is. Yet, even if it was real, one death in the amount of time that it's been here, as well as the level of exposure that has taken place [via incompetence, or worse] makes this seem rather weak considering how many other more notables issues such as diseases/prescription drugs that are killing folks in the thousands monthly.
That goes without saying, with flu season among us, and Ebola displaying 'flu like symptoms', it surely is quite convenient for vaccines pushers that Ebola's symptom's mirror those of the flu.
With that in mind, Johnson & Johnson has recently announced it plans to have 250,000 experimental Ebola vaccines ready to go soon. In conjunction with that, they will push to have 1,000,000 vaccines prepared by next year.
This entire ordeal seems like the dream scenario for vaccine pushers. There is:
a] an alleged virus that can prompt extreme fear [which debilitates the immune system] based on myriad symptoms;
b] which allows for a greater number of [false] possible victims to be established/quarantined;
c] conveniently taking place at the nascent stages of yet another hyped up virus, which mirrors the very symptoms Ebola is claimed to have;
d] being managed in a way that if it such pandemic really is taking place, the government seems to be doing everything possible not to stop, but to allow this to spread;
e] thus allowing Big Pharma/Big Medica to reap untold profits the longer this continues.
That is exactly the point. By this playing out over the long term this allows for calculated [incremental, perhaps, given Ebola's nigh non-existent spread rate] control and perhaps medical martial law of the populace, whilst simultaneously allowing those who own the patents for the vaccines to make untold millions.
Sure seems to be running like a script, doesn't it?
In fact, expect a huge propaganda campaign to be launched around thanksgiving, and also during New Year due to travel and such. Would not be surprising seeing a few more 'probables' popping up right before those holidays.
Don't forget the fact that with flu season among us, the amount of false-positives will also be high because of the flue, and also given the inaccuracies of the PCR test
Dream scenario for the vaccine pushers?
Yes indeed. Only if we allow it to be.

According to a new survey by RE/MAX Canada, a quarter of Canadians have a desire to purchase a vacation property in the near future.
As is the case with all real estate, a great recreational property starts with location. More than two-thirds of Canadians who currently own a cottage, or are considering buying one, are willing to travel up to two hours to get there. A shorter commute leaves more time for R&R, but particularly for those living in major urban centres, proximity to home comes at a price. Those willing to drive a little further for their piece of paradise could well find it at a lower cost. [RE/MAX Canada]
Some of the notable trends from the survey in regards to cabin or cottage ownership in Canada include:
- 64 per cent are looking for an affordable price
- 55 per cent want waterfront property
- 54 per cent want low maintenace costs
- 58 per cent want a vacation property to spend time with family and friends
- 46 per cent want a vacation property as a "getaway"
- 41 per cent want a vacation property to take part in recreational activities
When it comes to price for vacation properties, it really depends on the location and the province you choose has a lot to do with things as well. For instance, the BC property transfer tax for foreign buyers is causing a lot of issues for even Alberta property owners with places in British Columbia.
Regardless, here are a few other costs to budget for and be prepared for:
- Insurance
- Property tax
- Utilities
- Maintenance
- Transportation to and from
- Use and entertainment
We would love to hear from any Calgarians who own cabins or cottages and where they own them, so please reach out on social media!

JULY garden TO DO
Summer comes and I get caught up in weeding and harvesting and I sometimes forget that there are a few other items I should be taking care of as well, so I found this garden to do that I wanted to share with you. I have items from the zones above and below mine because depending on the weather these things may apply for a Zone 5 gardener like myself.
Zone 4
- Add one last planting of gladioli bulbs for flowers into fall
- Harvest veggies as soon as they're ripe to encourage further production
- Avoid the sight of a weed-infested garden: weed first before you leave on vacation
- Harvest sweet corn when silks are brown and punctured kernels produce a milky juice
- Prevent blossom-end rot on tomatoes by providing plants with at least an inch of water each week
- Let melons ripen on the vine--this is where they will develop their best flavor
- Start fall garden transplants from seed
- Pinch off the blooms on herbs to encourage more production of flavorful leaves
- Petunias, coleus and other summer annuals might be leggy by now. Pinch them back just above a leaf to encourage bushy growth and more flowers
- Leave faded flowers on those plants that form ornamental seed heads, pods, or berries
- Provide water in a shallow pan or birdbath for your feathered and fluttering friends
Zone 5 (northern Illinois)
- Remove annuals with stunted or unusual color; these are usually virus infected and the disease can spread to neighboring healthy plants
- To control disease on fruit trees, maintain a summer spray schedule
- Clean hummingbird feeders filled with nectar solution regularly to ward off mold and bacteria
- Consider drip irrigation and/or soaker hoses for watering in the flowerbed and vegetable garden
- Bats help control mosquitoes; attract these friendly mammals with bat houses
- Muskmelons and cantaloupes are ready for picking when the stem "slips" easily from the fruit with gentle pressure
- Harvest your flowers for pressing and drying just as they reach perfect bloom so you get the best from them for later use.
- Cilantro will bolt in July heat so be prepared to harvest quickly if you see one plant turn to fern-like leaves as they will all quickly follow. Sow a new crop for harvest in August.
- Pinch off the blooms on herbs to encourage more production of flavorful leaves
- Pinch your basil just above a node where two leaves (either side) are forming, this will make the plant more bushy and give you more leaves for a later harvest.
- Harvest veggies as soon as they're ripe to encourage additional production
- Sharp mower blades prevent leaf blade damage and lawn stress
- Prevent diseases on susceptible rose varieties: apply fungicide every 7-10 days
- Remove rose pedals from spent blooms, but be careful not to snip off the hips which will ripen in the remainder of summer.
- Watch for pests hiding on the underside of leaves, white fly, aphids and similar bugs are very active in the warmer months.
- Lanky annuals need your help! Pinch them back now to encourage bushy growth and more flowers
Zone 6
- Deadhead blooming annuals and perennials for repeat flowering
- Harvest veggies immediately when ripe; rotting produce attracts insects
- Avoid weed-infested gardens: weed before you leave on vacation
- Water hanging baskets and patio pots daily during warm weather
- Fertilize annual flowerbeds with an all-purpose fertilizer to encourage more blooms
- Harvest lavender stems for use in bath sachets or drying
- Sharp shears make quick work of herb and flower harvests
- Mow cool season grasses at 3 inches during the summer to shade and insulate the soil
- Enjoy a glass of tea flavored with mint, pineapple sage, or lemon balm from the garden
- Provide birds and butterflies with a shallow water source
Not sure of your zone? I found this awesome list from the Arbor Day Foundation, where you can put in your zip code and it will tell you the zone you live in and it is updated with the new climate info: http://www.arborday.org/treeinfo/zonelookup.cfm

Knowledgebase: Shared & Reseller Hosting
I need register_globals=On, how can I do that?
Posted by on 04 December 2011 11:05 AM
We run in all of our shared/reseller servers with suPHP enabled, so to enable register_globals on or off, or any other php.ini setting you require you can do so by uploading your own php.ini file
And upload this php.ini file into the directory which you require register_globals On, inside that file (php.ini) , just edit register_globals to make it look like: register_globals=On
Once this is set on the file, you should be able to upload the php.ini file, and register_globals will be enabled for whatever directory this file is on.

Shoes for Fashioclash
Form follows function
Fashionclash is an international and interdisciplinary platform for new generation designers and artists and it is a well-known event for the talents in Europe. I was honored to participate in Fashionclash 2015. Two pairs shoes of my design were shown in this event. Those shoes were supposed to be made in a simply and plainly to meet the styles of clothes of the models.
I planned to make the shoes stand out by its handcrafted feelings and artistic quality. For this reason, I chose to make both of these shoes by carving them out with a hammer and carving knives. But before that, I would have to use a 3D drawing program, in order to make shoes fully designed in my laptop. Each shoe was planned to be tied with one rough shoelace, which was made from thick fabric. When it comes to the shape, the shoe was made in an organic form. I wanted it to have a feeling of nature. In the design, the location and shape of the two slots follows the style of the lace.

Dear forum,
I'm having performance problems with glCopyTexSubImage2D on Intel graphics chips, and I can't quite figure out why.
I recently retired my usage of pbuffers (since they aren't supported on Intel hardware) and chose instead to render my off-screen stuff before I re-clear the screen and render my real scene, capturing my what I rendered "off-screen" to a texture with glCopyTexSubImage2D.
On the nVidia and ATi cards I've been able to try with, glCopyTexSubImage2D takes around 0.05-0.10 ms, which I think is reasonable, but on Intel hardware it tends to take 50 ms – three orders of magnitude more!
My first thought was that the framebuffer and texture formats didn't match so that it had to do some expensive conversion, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My framebuffer has 8 bits of red, green, blue and alpha, and I initialize the texture with glTexImage2D, using GL_RGBA for internalformat.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, or otherwise know what it is?

PPS 4 (Draft): Industry, Business and Distribution
Policy Context: New Targeting Social Need
1.16 The Department is committed to implementing the New Targeting Social Need (New TSN) Initiative, which aims to direct efforts and available resources towards those objectively assessed as being in social need. As part of this Initiative, it will be important to ensure that disadvantaged groups and communities are able to benefit from better access to employment opportunities.
1.17 Within the context of the PPS this will be achieved primarily through development plans which, in their role of facilitating economic development and creating a framework which will allow investment in job creation to take place, will be strongly influenced by New TSN considerations.

Rustic cabins will make you fall in love with Alaska all over again
March is a tough month in the Anchorage area. It feels like winter should be over, and it isn't. It feels like summer should be here already, and it's not. The weird, seasonal in-between makes for often-abysmal outdoor conditions, like icy and wet trails. Heck, Iditarod is one of the bright spots, and even that's been less than ideal in Anchorage in recent years due to crummy snow cover. Boo.
At certain times of year in Alaska, being happy and having fun isn't happenstance; it's a commitment. And sometimes we need a little motivation – and, perhaps a temporary relocation – to remember the unarguable truth that we live in a beautiful, wonderful place.
For a sweet getaway any time of the year, and for an especially special wintry retreat, head north to Hatcher Pass Lodge. It always surprises me how many folks are unaware of Hatcher Pass Lodge. It's a relatively nearby and fairly affordable spot for just about any Alaskan – from the backcountry skier to the snowmachiner to the lodge bunny whose idea of a good time is a thick novel and hot cocoa.
The resort consists of a main A-frame lodge that perches just downslope from the historic Independence Mine area. Its peaked chalet windows afford incomparable views of the surrounding mountain peaks and sweeping valley below. My favorite place to sit and sip a glass of wine is at one of the stools overlooking the bowling snowy landscape, with the woodstove warming my back.
The interior of the lodge is toasty, cozy and European, with various artists' portraits of the area adorning the wood walls. The menu covers the bases, with everything from full breakfasts to homemade soups to cheese fondue. Prices are on the steep side for food, but I cut them some slack there, considering the miles required to make a milk run.
In addition to your usual spirits, wine and beer, the lodge has a fun selection of drinks, too. A favorite was the adult twist on a hot chocolate, served piping hot with peppermint schnapps in a mug with a pillowy topper of melting whipped cream.
Accommodations at Hatcher Pass are found in one of nine A-frame cabins. Depending on the size, they can sleep between 2 and 6 guests on various configurations of queen and double beds, and sofa pull-outs. Rooms are basic but comfortable, with tables for playing cards or other games you'll find in the cupboards (our cutthroat game of 1990s Pop Culture Trivial Pursuit lasted into the wee hours!).
"Rustic" is an appropriate word for the cabins. They're simple and charming, and no-frills for sure. They'll provide a vessel of drinking water, and toilets are the kind you pump water into and flush by releasing a hatch – almost like you're on a boat. Lofts are accessible by ladders. There are no kitchens but you can plug in a hotplate to warm food prepared in advance or bring in a cooler packed with goodies.
The view is something to behold – and every cabin has some sort of spectacular view. An overnight here will remind you why you live in Alaska, and the elevation means delightful winter conditions last far into the spring.
Some other perks about these cabins: Many allow dogs for an additional fee, and most cost just $135 a night. You'll be hard pressed to find anywhere in Alaska where you can have this privacy, this view, and this unique outdoorsy experience for that low a cost.
One of Hatcher Pass' crown jewels is its wooden sauna. You have to notify the proprietors well in advance if you intend to use it, and then you and your guests will have it all to yourselves for an hour. The sauna sits on top of a creek, and you can lie back on the hot boards and hear the cool water rushing beneath. Want to take it up a notch? Dash out the backdoor, down the ramp, and plunge into the freezing creek, then scurry back in to enjoy the searing sensation of the sauna warming you again.
When you're not busy dunking crusty bread in gooey pools of cheese, sweating in the sweet sauna or ogling the magnificent surroundings, get out and play. Hatcher Pass is a recreational dream all year long, with areas for skiing, hiking, snowshoeing, biking, snowmachining and more.
From Anchorage, head through Palmer and hang a left on Palmer Fishhook Road toward Independence Mine State Park. About 10 minutes down, just before the road starts to ascend, you'll pass a gas station and minimart that's your last chance for snacks and beverages.

4 Ways to Use Guest Blogging to Build Links
When trying to increase your presence in the SERPs, it is not enough to buy a lot of low-quality links and set up a website. While this worked in the past, it is now more important to build relationships across the Internet. One way to do so is to make guest post blogs on other sites. With this, one will gain valuable links and plenty of followers. Of course, one must do this wisely and here are four ways to use guest blogging to build links.
Link to social media: Every website and business owner should have a social media account. Ideally, one should have an account at both Facebook and Twitter. With these outlets, a blogger can reach out to a lot of potential clients. At the same time, with these sites, one will not spend any money to find new leads. To capture this market further, when making a blog post, a writer should place a link or two back to the Facebook and Twitter page of the blog. Provided the piece is interesting and thought-provoking, a social media page should gain plenty of new followers.
Long tail keywords: Often, people will forget about long tail keywords. This is a mistake as some Internet users will search for a long and obscure keyword. For example, when searching for a bike, one may use the term "quality used bikes for sale in San Diego". To take advantage of this, one should try to think of their reader and place some long tail keywords in the text. Since they are usually not competitive, a site owner can rank on the first page with ease.
Avoid exact match: At the same time, one should try to avoid exact match keywords. While this may not seem wise, it is a good idea in the long-term. Think about it, with a competitive keyword, one will have so much competition, and they will have a hard time reaching the first page of Google. Instead, one should use the keyword, but in a different way. This way, a site owner will rank highly for plenty of organic keywords, all without stuffing the main words into the text and causing problems.
Blog on a relevant and quality site: Again, in the past, people would game the system and put guest post blogs on boring or irrelevant sites. At the time, this worked. This is not the case anymore, and a site owner should opt to guest post blog at interesting and relevant sites. With this, one will enjoy a high click-through rate and plenty of interest. Not only that, when determining organic keyword ranking, Google and the leading search engines will place a lot of weight on this, and the site will rank higher for the best keywords.
With a guest post blogging campaign, a site owner can improve his or her online presence. Remember, while Matt Cutts said that guest post blogging is going away, this is not fully true. Not, when posting quality content and offering value, one will still do well in the SEO game.

CSI: Criminal Surveillance Investigations from GPS-tracking to "pinging" your cell phone
My topic is a discussion about actual legal cases that deal with the use of modern day surveillance technologies by law enforcement to protect our communities against crime. More specifically, these cases address the legal issue of how current and developing surveillance techniques are used to fight crime and whether its use violates protections afforded to us under the provisions of the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. My qualifications to talk about and research this area include 25-plus years of practicing law doing trials and appeals of federal and state criminal cases that often involved litigation of Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues. Just as importantly is also my academic discipline at MOC teaching constitutional law related courses as well as criminal procedure related courses. The common concerns of the public for legal cases about privacy rights and new surveillance technology issues is evident, for example, by the recent June 27, 2011 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to consider arguments in an appeal about whether police need a warrant to use GPS devices to track a suspect's movements.
Spreading the word for Crossworks, Inc.: A North Carolina faith-based nonprofit that provides health education services about the value of nutrition in managing or preventing Diabetes and other chronic diseases
Crossworks, Inc. is a Rocky Mount, NC-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that provides health education and consulting services focusing on the value of nutrition to improve self management skills of chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease and cancer. In 2010, Crossworks' outreach efforts offered health screenings and educational programs to serve over 2,000 people. I am the Chair of the Board of Directors for Crossworks. As a faculty member who is actively involved in my community with a faith-based nonprofit that also recognizes like our University of Mount Olive the importance of Christian values, I want to expand my personal and professional leadership goals by spreading the word about Crossworks to other eastern North Carolina communities because the fight against diabetes, obesity, heart disease and cancer affects so many of us and our family, our friends and acquaintances, and our co-workers and colleagues.

The Great Highland Bagpipe and Its Music
What is the "Great Highland Bagpipe?" Most people associate the bagpipe with "Amazing Grace" at funerals or more festive pieces at weddings, but is that all the instrument can play? In fact, the history of the Great Highland Bagpipe goes back to 1600 Scotland, and its story is one of the truly romantic tales of civilization. Along with a lecture on the subject, Dr. Armstrong provides plenty of musical examples on his MacCallum bagpipes, and may even take a few requests.

Morality and Markets
Many people say that capitalism is all about greed. It's about getting money and not letting anyone or anything stop you from doing so. Many are afraid that a world of free markets will degenerate into some sort of anarchist, dog-eat-dog world.
Fortunately, such a world is just make-believe. A true free market economy is a moral system to its core. It is about service, honesty, trust, respect and ultimately love. In this talk, we talk not only about the foundations of economics, but we use a Christian perspective to honestly evaluate capitalism and its alternatives.
The Origin of Money
Money is one of humanity's the oldest inventions. We tend to think of its existence as a permanent measure of value. Unfortunately, money is neither permanent nor does it have intrinsic value.
In this talk, we look at the origin of money and how it has evolved from simple agricultural products to crypto-currencies, like bit-coin. Additionally, we will look at the problems that are involved with our current monetary system and some possible solutions to fix the messes we've made.

Planning for Long Range Futures
Futures Study is an emerging field where strategic planners integrate a wide variety of disciplines in order to contemplate possible high-impact changes in technology, physical and biological sciences, energy and natural resources, ecological sustainability, composition and migration of populations, global shifts in economic, military & political balances, and the competitive dynamics of economies, markets and industries. This presentation explores the methods of futures study as well as several possible future shifts that will, or could, change the world as we now know it. Several forecasts and alternative futures are examined in order to address critical issues such as: the economic and social impacts of dramatic increases in life expectancy; dependence on traditional versus new energy sources; shifts in global power balances; and radical changes in basic industries such as food production, electric power generation, water supply, health care, transportation, and artificial intelligence.
Making Strategy Happen
The rate of strategic plans' successful implementation has been estimated to be between 10% and 40%. Most estimates tend to be near the low end of that range. Indeed, weakness of implementation skills seems to be the most important pitfall of commercial planning – whether it is called strategic planning, corporate planning or business planning. Frankly, we know much more about how to form strategy than how to realize it. But, if plans aren't implemented successfully, they can't make much of a contribution to firms' performance. This presentation explains why plans usually aren't implemented successfully and how firms can build their capabilities to realize strategy more reliably.

ABOUT GLASS NAIL FILES: Ordinary nail files create tiny fractures in your nail which can weaken the nail and cause the nail to split and become brittle. Because the glass file is so hard and the filing surface so extremely fine, you can file in any direction without damaging the nail. It will leave your nails incredibly smooth! Amazingly the glass file works very well on extremely hard nails as well as very soft nails. Since the surface of the glass nail file is so fine and uniform, regular use will actually help grow more beautiful nails, they will be healthier and smoother.
OTHER USES FOR GLASS NAIL FILES: Glass nail files are also versatile. They can also be used to remove hardened skin around the nails, and on the heels and soles of the feet. Use on skin when it has been softened by water.
MAINTENANCE OF GLASS FILES: To clean the filings off the file, simply rinse with water. If overtime the filings build up, they can be deep cleaned with a brush and detergent or even the dishwasher. Also, for professionals they can be sterilized with disinfecting liquids, UV lighting, or heat. The filing surface will not be damaged by cleaning.
DURABILITY OF GLASS FILES: The file surface is permanent. Because the glass is the filing surface it will not wear out or wear off. Nothing is layered or built up on the file that will wear off. The glass has been hardened and it is also tempered so that it is not fragile. However, these little jewels are glass and can break, so take the same care as you would with any other glass object.
PROFESSIONAL USE: Glass nail files are great for professional use in salons. The excellent performance they give, and the ability to sterilize between customers is a great benefit. They are excellent on artificial nails. Because the glass surface is so efficient at filing it does the job quicker. When using on artificial nails keep dipping the file in water to clean off build up of filings.

At The Drive-In played their first UK show in over 11 years as they headlined the NME/Radio Stage 1 at Reading Festival tonight (August 25).
The Texan alt-punkers, who reunited earlier this year after a decade-long absence, played to a surprisingly sparse crowd. Taking to the stage at 10.15pm (BST), the band played a 13-song set, which included a cover of The Smiths' classic 'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore', which they mixed in with their own track 'Catacombs'.
The set began in bizarre fashion with frontman Cedric Bixler-Zavala arriving onstage with a broom and saying to the crowd: "What the fuck are you doing here? I'm trying to clean this place up." He then joked to the crowd about Prince Harry's recent Las Vegas indiscretions as the band launched into 'Arcarsenal'.
The band's performance focused heavily on their seminal 2000 third album 'Relationship Of Command, with eight of the LP's 11 tracks aired during the set. As well as this, they also played four from their 1998 album 'In/Casino/Out' and 'Metronome Arthritis' from their early 'Vaya' EP.
Bixler-Zavala, who was outspoken throughout the set, told the crowd that the UK "was the first place to really give a shit about our band. You guys saw something in us that no-one else did."
The singer made no comment about the band's reunion and, as predicted, they aired no new songs, ending their set with their much-loved single 'One Armed Scissor'.
At The Drive-In played:
'Pattern Against User'
'Sleepwalk Capsules'
'Napoleon Solo'
'Metronome Arthritis'
'Non-Zero Possibility'
'Catacombs'/'That Joke Isn't Funny Anymore'
'One Armed Scissor'
Reading Festival continues tomorrow with sets from Foo Fighters, The Black Keys, Bullet For My Valentine, Two Door Cinema Club and Kaiser Chiefs.
