Building large public facilities like stadiums and arenas involves ups and downs for the developers, owners, local governments and communities in which they are being built. Here are some of last month's ups and downs:
Rogers Communications has acquired the naming rights to the Edmonton Oilers' new downtown arena, which will open in time for the 2016 National Hockey League (NHL) season. Oilers' fans will be able to access a full range of communications options as Rogers uses the arena to showcase its services.
Keighley Cougars have unveiled a £5 million plan to revamp their stadium. The club is submitting a planning application for the first phase of the scheme to rebuild the main stand.
The Metrodome roof will deflate for the last time in January. Mortenson Construction, the contractor building the new Minnesota Vikings stadium will cut the Metrodome's power on 18 January. The roof fabric will be cut into small pieces and possibly recycled. The Vikings is using extra security at the last game to prevent looting.
One Systems, Inc. has been awarded patents by the United States Patent Trademark Office for its innovative horn and driver design, 'Equivalent Throat Technology' and 'Inside/Only Voice Coil' design. Both patents are the result of designs by Mike O'Neill, One Systems' Chief Engineer. See One Systems' unique mobile sound system at the Edward Jones Stadium in St.Louis in the Winter edition of PanStadia & Arena Management magazine.
Lisbon's Estádio do Restelo, the 19,300-capacity home of CF Os Belenenses in the Belem district, will stage the 2014 UEFA Women's Champions League final on 22 May 2014.
Action Floor Systems, one of the largest suppliers of hardwood maple sports floor systems in the US, has announced a price increase of 5-7 % on all maple flooring. Company President Tom Abendroth said:
Lumber costs have increased dramatically during the past two years due to constrained supply and greater market demand," Abendroth stated. "Increasing our pricing at this time is necessary to maintain the level of product quality and service our customers expect and to continue our commitments to new product development and sustainable forests.

When was the last time you saw scenery that was breathtaking or traveled to a new or exotic place?
When was the last time you felt completely connected to what you were doing or knew you were living your dream?
I hope that you can answer those questions with some positive, enthusiastic answers.
Four years ago, I would not have been able to answer those questions with much excitement. I was overweight, aching, stuck, and did not really have a clear dream or vision for my life.
This past week as I attended the Young Living convention in Utah, I was filled with gratitude for a new sense of purpose, for incredible health and energy, and for opportunities to meet wonderful people from all over the country and around the world. I have an incredible Young Living team that is striving for greater health and is excited to bring this message of hope and healing to others.


text: Nowadays models, rather than code, become the key artifacts of software development. Consequently, this raises the level of requirements for modeling languages on which modeling practitioners should rely in their work. A minor inconsistency of a modeling language metamodel may cause major problems in the language applications; thus with the model driven systems development the solidness of modeling languages metamodels becomes particularly important. In its current state the UML metamodel leaves a significant area for improvement. We present an alternative metamodel that was inspired by the RM-ODP standard and that solves the problems of UML. RM-ODP was mentioned in UML specifications as a framework that has already influenced UML. Our metamodel was formalized, thus its resulting models can be simulated and checked for consistency. So, our proposed solution with constructive potential towards improvement of the UML metamodel, may have a significant practical impact on the UML specifications.

Inside the Outsiders - Of Artists and Another Reality
Kunst von Innen - Von Künstlern und einer anderen Wirklichkeit
This film presents a history of Outsider Art through the examples of exceptionally gifted artists. It looks at workshops for handicapped people run by different welfare organizations, examines the lives and work of prominent Art Brut figures and enters their private studios. These workshops encourage psychologically disabled artists to focus on their talent and concentrate on the essential: the art itself. The psychologically handicapped artists are totally immersed in their personal work. Their art is pure, untouched by the styles and fashions that sweep the broader art world. Today, the works of disabled artists are creating a worldwide sensation. Their works fit seamlessly into the history of art and add to a deeper appreciation of Modernity.

Simply Human
My classic excuse. 'We are simply human.' That is the simplest-complicated explanation. We do things that people may condemn us for. Of course, there's always room for improvement, things you can do to prevent committing those "crimes". But it's not always easy, it's not always right there, and most importantly, it's not always possible. It just isn't. And it doesn't define us. Or at least I'm sitting here, hoping it doesn't. How could I live with myself otherwise? 'You'd be surprised what you can live with', my conscious says. So far, it's proven to be true, yes; but it comes back at times and it has enough power to completely destroy your sanity. So many times I'd be walking, and those memories would flash back, and I'd feel this undeniable crisp pain shoot through my whole body. Mostly right in the gut. I know that feeling - I know it well. And I know that it'll never go away. Then I start to imagine, what would happen "if"? So many ifs, of course, but the one I have in mind is terrifying. That "if" is enough to keep me up for hours and hours, night after night after night. I cannot allow it to transform into reality. The logical side in me tells me that I deserve the realization of that "if", but if I want to avoid it, I have to avoid committing this unspeakable act ever again. And I know that. And I knew it when it happened the second, third, fourth, fifth time - and beyond. It's not unlike two people, two different personalities. One being the good-hearted, wanting to live/eat well, works hard one. The other being the fill-your-heart-with-smoke, lying, cheating, workaholic, destructive one. I am powerless. And of course there are countless people who are ready to throw you in the fire and define you as the worst human being one could possibly imagine or be. But it is NOT THAT SIMPLE! The only explanation is that we are simply human. That's it. Simply not simple. It's not just a matter of actions. Most of the time, your actions are driven by logic. Some of the time, they're driven by emotions and feelings. And feelings are irrational; but even the best of us know it can be impossible to control such emotional responses. And in turn, THEY start to control our actions.
But it's best to forget. Pretend nothing ever happened. Separate those events into a third person - one who has left the premises forever. Hopefully forever, anyway.

A few months ago I took my beloved rescued 9 year old Yorki-Poo Allyson to the vet for a routine check-up. My vet shocked me when she said she felt a large tumor in her abdomen. She did an x-ray and confirmed two masses in her liver. She took blood and suggested an ultra sound. The ultrasound confirmed the tumors, and a needle biopsy confirmed cancer. She has recently had a successful surgery to remove these tumors. The next stage to improve the chances of her recovery is chemotherapy.
The costs of Allyson's tests and surgery has left me with severe financial difficulties. I was laid off permanently in May and my savings is depleted. Allyson has done so much for me I can't bear to see her suffer. I suffer from an illness and her companionship is part of my therapy. She is the love of my life and it is killing me that I am in a position that I can't do everything possible to save her. I appreciate you taking the time to read my story and thank you in advance for any help you may provide.
— Jennifer & Allyson
Due to an unfortunate lack of funds, CCA is not able to donate money in order to help pay the costs of Allyson's treatments. Please help sponsor this worthy cause. Any sponsor donations made on behalf of Allyson will be used to pay unpaid invoices and the checks will be sent directly to Allyson's vet.

Rule 4: Clubs
The number of clubs allowed in the bag is 14, which does include the putter. You can use any combination of clubs and they do not have to be the same fourteen clubs every time you play. An example is that you may want to add another wedge and take out a long iron if playing a short course or a course with small greens. Conversely you may want to take out a wedge and add a hybrid or fairway wood when playing a longer course or a course with long par 3's. Adjusting your bag is part of knowing your game and preparing for you round. If you play the same course over and over you are not going to change your bag too often. However, if you play different courses, it is a good practice to investigate the course online and adjust your bag accordingly. You do not want to continually say to yourself, "I wish I had that wedge" or "I could use that hybrid right now, if I only had not left it in the car."
If you find yourself with more than fourteen clubs you can declare the club(s) "out of play" without penalty, if the round has not started. If you discover this on the second or third hole then, in match play it is loss of the hole for every hole played, with the excess clubs, with a maximum of a two hole penalty. In stroke play, there is a two stroke penalty for each hole, with a maximum of a four stroke penalty.
If you have fewer than 14 clubs then, in match play partners may share clubs, provided that the total number of clubs carried by the partners so sharing does not exceed 14.
Count your clubs before every round and after every round, you do not want to start with 14 clubs and return to the club house with 13. You surely do not want to start any round with more than 14.
The characteristics of a club can not be altered during the course of a round, this means play the club the way you brought it to the course.
Foreign material can not me added to the clubface, at anytime, to influence the ball. Now, as far as this goes, I have not heard of any material that can be added to the clubface that can cause the ball to go straight or stop quick. Just wanted to let you know so you do not waste any time trying to find a magic substance for the club face.
Breaking a club during a round is a common occurrence. Your choices are to use the club in the damaged state; without unduly delaying play, repair it or have it repaired; or replace the club with any club without unduly delaying play. We are talking about a club that is damaged during a swing.
Now let us talk about a club that is damaged in other ways, most notably after a bad shot when the club goes flying or is slammed into the ground and the shaft breaks or is bent. When this happens the club cannot be repaired or replaced and may not be used. Do not let this happen to you. Stay calm!
We will address calmness in the mental game area of this site and etiquette here in the near future.
Good Golfing,

A copy of this game was provided by the publisher for review purposes.
PS Nation Review Policy
Grand Kingdom is a pretty unique tactical, turn-based JRPG where you take command of your own mercenary squad to fight wars between the four major countries on the continent of Resonail.
The core gameplay consists of creating troops of four characters and taking them into battle against enemy factions and monsters. As you begin the game, you get a brief history of the world you're about to enter and from there you're taken directly into a tutorial with four temporary characters.
Once you're past the main tutorial, you're allowed to form your own mercenary squad where you're able to choose a name for yourself and your squad. After that, you can hire four members to add to your first troop, and then you're pretty much set loose to do whatever you wish.
From your mercenary base, you can go to the quest screen where you can play through the story, play versus quests where you compete against other NPC squads, single player quests, and open world exploration quests.
The battle system is divided into two sections: a game board map and a 2D battle. The game board section shows your team as a little chess piece and there are enemies, hazards, and armaments set throughout the board.
The actual battles are carried out on a small 2D level with invisible boundaries on either end. Your characters start the battle at the left hand side of the area and can move left and right along three invisible swim lanes on the screen. Each of your characters has their own movement bar, so you're only allowed to move as far as the gauge allows. Once the gauge is depleted, you are no longer able to move.
You're allowed to reset your character after moving if you have not performed an attack or hit any of the traps or hazards that may be spread throughout the battle level.
The battle system is turn-based, and is sort of like a battle in Valkyria Chronicles, except it's in two dimensions. Once your character has performed their attack or action, their turn is over. If you cannot get close enough to an enemy, you can end your turn and you'll have to wait until your next turn to progress further.
The turn order is represented by a linear gauge at the bottom of the screen, and it shows whose turn is next. I haven't quite figured out how the turn system works, because some of the characters on the team will start, but then one or two enemies might be next. I think it has something to do with the agility stat on the characters, but I can't quite tell.
One thing to note is that each character gets only one turn. You cannot skip a character and use the turn for other characters, so you'll have to plan out your attacks wisely.
When you start the tutorial, you're granted a fighter, a medic, and two other characters. However, once the tutorial is over, you must build your own team from scratch. To fill out your squad, you'll have to hire your characters from a choice of about five or six different characters.
You are not able to choose the class, so you must pick one from the options presented. After each quest, the selection of the mercenaries for hire will change randomly, so you'll need to keep going back to the hiring screen if you're looking for a particular class.
Not only are the classes on the hiring screen randomized but the stats are as well. Each individual unit has their own stats such as strength, health, agility, etc., and each is labeled with a rating from F up to A – and possibly S, but I haven't even seen an A stat yet, so I am not certain. Also when you hire a unit, they'll have a bonus point value associated with them.
Each stat rating corresponds directly to the ease of upgrading that stat. So a rating of F takes more points to upgrade it to the next level. Likewise, higher ratings have lower amounts of upgrade points needed to upgrade them.
I say stat level since they're denoted by a number of stars that are filled up when you allocate a point towards the stat. When you use one point, the star will fill up and when you fill up all the stars, you will get an extra bonus point allocated towards the stat. After that, the stars are all reset and you will have to accrue upgrade points by leveling up your character.
When I hire characters, I look for higher stats that correspond to the character's class. So for fighters, I look for a D or C rating in the strength stat. Likewise, for magic users, I look for high stats in magic. This strategy makes it easier to increase the stats that make your units easier to upgrade effectively.
Unlike other tactical games like this, your characters won't permanently die or be lost if they're killed in battle. So if you have a favorite character, there's no reason to worry if they die.
Once the battle is over, any dead characters will be given one HP and you'll have to replenish their health. If all of your characters die in battle, depending on the quest type, you'll lose the quest.
Aside from the battles and quests, you have a shop in the mercenary guild base where you can purchase weapons, armor, character upgrades, and items that you can use during the battles such as health regenerating items, or items that help you dispel traps, among other things.
I found Grand Kingdom to be a really fun game. There are quite a few things to do in the game and I really liked all the variations in the weapons and armor for the characters. I'm not a big fan of strategy RPGs, so I was happy to learn that this one is more of a tactical turn-based RPG than a strategy RPG.
This is really a great looking game. I especially like the art style of the clothing and facial expressions of the characters. The hand-drawn art that is used to tell the story is also very well done.
There doesn't seem to be too much difference between the PS4 and PS Vita versions as far as graphics go, save for maybe some more detail in the backgrounds in the PS4 version. I expected the game to load faster and perhaps look a bit better, particularly in the mercenary guild base, but there really aren't any detectable differences.
The soundtrack is very well done, but there's not much variation to the music. Pretty much the same track plays during the battles, and it becomes fairly repetitive. The game features both English and Japanese voice tracks, and the voice acting seems very well done.
The online component of the game consists of the War functionality. Aside from the singleplayer quests and story, you can contract your squad out to one of the four major superpowers.
As you do your single player quests, some of them are actually contracted by these four countries. When you win a quest that's requested by a country, your reputation with that country will improve.
As you improve your reputation, the rewards that you gain from contracts with the country will improve. However, if you go to war against another country, your reputation with the opposing country will diminish. Also, some quests are against another country, and while you might gain reputation with the requesting country, you might lose reputation with the opposing country.
Signing up for a War contract is pretty easy. You just access the menu and sign up for a term from one to five wars. It's sort of tough to determine what an actual war is in relation to your contract.
Once you've chosen a side and signed up for a War Contract, you can then dispatch your troops and fight the war. This section features asynchronous online multiplayer, so as you fight battles, you are joined on the battlefield by other player's troops that are controlled by the computer.
You can either dispatch your troops and fight in real time, or you can choose the Troop Detachment option to send them off to fight automatically. Unfortunately, the game does not feature real-time battles between characters, so when you're fighting in the war, you're facing other player's dispatched troops and vice-versa.
Another way that you interact with other players is when you've dispatched your troops, other members can hire them to fill out their troops. Normally, a troop only has a maximum of four units, but in the War gameplay, you can hire up to two units from other players over the network. When you hire them, there's a set number of gold that it costs to do so, and that is then transferred to the other player upon their next logon.
This brings me to what I feel is the biggest missed opportunity of the game, which is the lack of Cross-Save functionality. Even in lieu of full Cross-Save functionality, I would have liked a way to at least transfer your character from one system to another.
So many games accomplish this – especially Musou games like Dynasty Warriors and the One Piece games. Since it takes so much effort to customize and build up your units, it seems like a no-brainer to have a way to transfer your play data across platforms.
But back to the Troop Detachment functionality, it's actually surprisingly complex. You can give your troops marching orders to go straight for the action, ambush other characters, head for the outlying forts that are away from the stronghold, etc.
You can then do a Combat Exercise to see how they perform so you can tweak your units to be more effective. And, if this is all too much for you, you can turn over all of the offline play to the AI and let them battle automatically.
I played the PS Vita version much more than the PS4 and I found my PS Vita characters were able to win many more battles and gain much more money. In addition to gold, there is a second currency called Royals that's used primarily to purchase weapons, armor, and materials from the shops within each Kingdom.
As you fight in wars and on quests, you'll gain materials throughout the map. These materials can be used to forge weapons, or they can be donated towards the war effort. As you donate materials for your contracted country, new weapons, armor, and accessories will be manufactured.
In fact, on the Vita version, I leveled some of my characters to fifteen and there was a message that said something to the effect of, you've reached the maximum level for weapons and armor. So to get more advanced weaponry, you'll either have to find them as rare items on quests or spend Royals to buy them in the shops.
I found Grand Kingdom to just be a fantastic game overall. It's got all the addictive components that make you want to fire it up and advance your characters.
I really love the art style of the characters – they just look so cool. There's so much variety in the character classes and it's really fun to mix and match the different classes within your troops to see how well they can do.
There's just so many more little facets to the game that I wish I could go into, but it's probably best experienced first hand. If you are a JRPG fan and like turn-based tactical gameplay, this game should really fill that niche for you.
If you're new to JRPGs or don't normally like them, I think I could safely recommend this game to you. It's not really heavy on story, and all sorts of subquests, so it can be easily picked up and played.
The multiplayer is also very enjoyable and a great addition to the game. The lack of Cross-Save or a way to transfer your characters, is a huge oversight, but if you have a PS TV, I would recommend getting the PS Vita version so you can play it on the big screen as well as on the go.
Even with the few problems I had with it, I think Grand Kingdom is a wonderful game and I've really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Geo Tracking – The Secret Behind Improving your Email Marketing Plan
One of the latest features of MessageFocus is the addition of Geo Tracking to your email campaigns. With the popularity of smartphones and the ability to receive email whilst on the move and not necessarily where you live, there is a school of thought as to how useful Geo Tracking actually is. While direct marketers often target customers with offers based on their location, it has not been so common in email marketing to segment data and target subscribers in this way. However, with more marketers understanding that their emails need to be ultra-relevant and more precisely targeted, it really couldn't be a better time to start and utilise the Geo Tracking functionality in MessageFocus.
What is Geo Tracking?
When you send out an email to your subscribers, MessageFocus tracks all the event data in the reporting to allow you to see a whole range of statistics on the performance of your campaign. Geo Tracking takes this one step further by plotting those events on an interactive global map to show exactly where those people are that have read your email.
It's this extra level of detail in your reporting which will allow you to gain a greater understanding of your active subscribers and the reach of your email campaigns. Creating targeted campaigns based on this information can massively improve the response and engagement with recipients and, as we all know, relevancy is the key to keeping customers engaged and loyal to your brand and products.
Essential or expendable?
Many email marketers are quick to cast aside Geo Tracking as simply a gimmick or a "˜nice to have' feature that doesn't add any real value. "Email can be opened anywhere on mobiles." and "We already have data on our subscriber's location." are common things I hear when discussing the new Geo Tracking feature with clients. These might be true statements, but it's worth noting:
- Geo Tracking gives you up-to date information on the location where someone has opened your email. People move around regularly which means your emails are always targeted to people that you know are highly likely to be opening at their place of work or home. Recipients don't always remember to update their location with you or if the data is provided by a 3rd party, it can quickly become out of date.
- Geo Tracking doesn't track mobile opens where users are accessing their email through cellular data on a phone network (such as 3G). This means you know that the report is giving you a good indication of the recipient's actual location – whether that is at work or at home, on a desktop or a Wi-Fi connection.
- Geo Tracking visually shows email engagement which was previously unavailable by just looking at your reporting data. It's all well and good knowing that 90% of your list is active, but Geo Tracking allows you to break this down further to see where exactly those active recipients are.
There is a lot of effort and focus by email marketers on trying to grow their data, but this can easily be negated by the loss of previously active recipients who no longer feel engaged. Growing your data is as much about the retention of existing recipients as it is the enticing of new ones.
How can I use Geo Tracking to increase relevancy?
There are a number of ways in which Geo Tracking can be used to increase relevancy to engage your recipients. Remember, it's about using all the tools at your disposal to give you the best chance possible of having your campaigns give the response you want.
- Improve your whole marketing plan – Geo Tracking is great for email marketers but the information is invaluable for other aspects of your marketing efforts – whether it be print advertising or local radio promotions. Knowing where your most active recipients are means you can target them in other ways besides email.
- Target potential event attendees – if you have an exhibition or event, why not send a targeted campaign to people within a radius of the event with a special offer to attend? Especially in the last few days leading up to a show, people local to the event who receive an offer are more likely to convert to a sale and attend. Bombarding your whole list will only mean a high percentage of the emails will be a waste of time, money and effort.
- Wow them with dynamic content – you may have created customised emails that display content based on a recipients preferences, but why not take this a step further and do it based on their location too? Targeting users with offers that are local to them will make them feel like a valued customer and that they are getting something exclusive to them.
There is so much more to be gained from Geo Tracking than is outlined above, but I hope that it gives you some useful food for thought when constructing your next campaign. As always, do not hesitate to contact your Account Manager for further information on how to use Geo Tracking in MessageFocus and how you can utilise it to improve your email marketing campaigns.

Liposuction is one of the very well known cosmetic surgery procedures. It involves removal of unwanted localized fat from certain areas of body.
Liposuction can be performed alone or along with other plastic surgery procedures, such as a facelift, breast reduction or a tummy tuck.
It should be noted that liposuction is a surgery for removal of fat but not a procedure for weight reduction. It removes excess fat from a particular area of body e.g., tummy, waist, thigh, in an otherwise mild to moderate obese person. Thus it tries to give a balanced figure to the person. Generally, one session of liposuction can remove about 6-10 litres of fat.
Liposuction gives best result in persons who are
Ideal liposuction candidates are:
Adults within 30% of their ideal weight who have firm, elastic skin and good muscle tone
Healthy individuals who do not have a life-threatening illness or medical conditions that can impair healing
Individuals with a positive outlook and specific goals in mind for body contouring
If you are bothered by excess fat deposits – located anywhere on your body – that don't respond to diet or exercise, liposuction may be right for you.
During your liposuction consultation doctor will discuss:

The liposuction procedure includes the following steps:
Step 1 – Anesthesia
Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. The choices include local anesthesia, intravenous sedation, and general anesthesia. Your doctor will recommend the best choice for you.
Step 2 – The incision
Liposuction is performed through small, inconspicuous incisions.
First, diluted local anesthesia is infused to reduce bleeding and trauma. Then a thin hollow tube, or cannula, is inserted through the incisions to loosen excess fat using a controlled back and forth motion. The dislodged fat is then suctioned out of the body using a surgical vacuum or syringe attached to the cannula.
Problem areas that can be addressed with liposuction:
Step 3 – See the results
Your improved body contour will be apparent once the swelling and fluid retention commonly experienced following liposuction subside. Get more information about liposuction results.
The patient can move around in 24 hours. Most of the patients can be allowed to go home. A change of dressing is required after 4 days. Dressing is also removed at that time.Stitches are self dissolving type and start dissolving around 10th day. The pressure garments are to be worn as long as the doctors feels it is necessary. Most of the patients will be advised to wear it for 3-4 months. Light duty can be resumed after 3- 7 days. Mild weight can be lifted after 2 weeks. Around this time one can resume full work.
Some swelling always occurs in any area of body that is operated. Thus the part which underwent liposuction looks somewhat swollen. About 80% of the swelling goes off in 2 weeks. It takes 6 to 8 week for remaining swelling to clear. Though the result of liposuction can be seen even on operation table, it is best appreciated after 16 to 24 weeks. Some areas of treatment will become stony hard, this will however,clear with local massage in about 4-6 weeks' time.
Local massage with bland cream will be advised to most patients about 2 weeks after surgery.
After operation the skin shows brownish discoloration and feels 'bumpy' that is uneven. It will clear on its own in 4 weeks.
Some patients feel a decreased sensation in the area operated. This is routine and clears off in about 4-6 weeks.
Fat tends to remain in the form of cells in body. Liposuction removes these 'storehouses' of fat. Thus in principle there is no recurrent deposition of fat. It has been seen however that when a person shows excessive weight gain, the area that underwent liposuction also shows some increase.
Risks associated with liposuction:
Liposuction like any other operation carries risks of anesthesia and surgery. Your consulting doctor will examine you and will explain the risks and severity as well as the Liposuction cost.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson concedes he is happy to continue rotating David De Gea and Anders Lindegaard despite the former's lofty price-tag and even loftier pedigree.
De Gea was brought to Manchester United in the summer for over £18 million in the hope the prodigiously able youngster would emerge as a worthy successor to the recently retired Edwin Van der Sar.
The Spaniard's career at Manchester United to date has been one of highs and lows, mixing eye-catching solidity with the occasional error, which although is inevitable given his fledgling career in England, it has certainly heightened the scrutiny which he was already under upon arrival.
While his promise is undoubted the 21-year-old has found himself in rotation with Anders Lindegaard, whose impressive form for Manchester United, with five clean-sheets in five games, has been a major asset for Sir Alex Ferguson this season.
The Manchester United manager has no concerns about the long term prospects of De Gea but believes the emergence of the aforementioned Dane is hugely positive for the club, and the Scot admitted he intends to continue with his rotation policy.
"It's not a problem because I think Anders has that little bit more experience. I felt his was the right time to change and we're going to do that with David." Ferguson told Manchester United's official television channel.
"He's only 20 years of age and is going to be a fantastic goalkeeper, there's absolutely no doubt about that.
"Having Anders as a back-up in terms of giving the lad a break at the right time, is proving its worth." The Manchester United supremo continued. "Anders is an outstanding goalkeeper and has a little bit more experience."
Lindegaard started Manchester United's 5-0 victory over Fulham in midweek but is likely to drop to the bench for the Red Devils' game against Wigan on Boxing Day.

Japan's trade minister resigns over 'insensitive' remark
TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's new trade minister resigned Saturday over a remark seen as insensitive to nuclear evacuees, dealing a blow to a government that took office just eight days ago in the hopes it could better tackle the daunting tsunami recovery.
"A series of my remarks caused serious distrust among the poeple, especially the people of Fukushima," Yoshio Hachiro said at a late-night news conference. "I seriously reflected on my remarks, and I made the decision to step down."
He said he informed Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda of his decision during an evening meeting. Noda, who took office and installed a new Cabinet on Sept. 2, accepted it after spending most of the day visiting Miyagi and Iwate prefectures, hard-hit by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
Noda, Hachiro and other government ministers were visiting the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant Thursday when Hachiro made his verbal gaffe. He called the desolate evacuation zone around the plant "a town of death" and later told reporters he just meant to convey the seriousness of the situation and his commitment to decontaminate it so residents can return.
Sweating heavily under intense questioning by reporters, Hachiro said the remarks "rubbed the feelings of Fukushima people the wrong way" but that he did not intend to be hurtful.
He explained that his words were his honest impression of the area around the plant.
"You can't find a place like that anywhere else but there," Hachiro said. "I couldn't think of any other word but that to describe my feeling."
Hachiro, 63, was less forthcoming about a second comment that also was criticized. According to local news reports, he joked with journalists that radiation he acquired on his clothing during his visit to Fukushima might be contagious.
"It was something I said off-the-record, and I don't want to talk about it any more," he said. The ministers wore protective bodysuits like those of the workers they met at the plant during their visit.
People affected by the disasters, political opponents and even members of the ruling Democrats had strongly criticized his remark.
After the tsunami struck the nuclear plant, three of its six reactors melted down, releasing massive amounts of radiation that have tainted the surrounding environment. About 80,000 people were forced to evacuate and may not be able to return for years because of radiation dangers.
While the earthquake and tsunami left about 21,000 people dead and missing along Japan's northeast coast, no deaths have been blamed on radiation.
The Democrats' policy committee chief, Seiji Maehara, told reporters earlier Saturday it will be important for Hachiro "to clearly explain today what his intentions really were," according to Kyodo News agency.
Political opponents were quick to condemn Hachiro.
"I must say Cabinet ministers are slacking off," said Sadakazu Tanigaki, a senior lawmaker of the largest opposition Liberal Democratic Party. "There is a serious lack of sense of seriousness."
With Hachiro out, Noda will now have to find a quick replacement to lead one of the most powerful ministries in Japan. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry oversees a vast portfolio of policies -- including nuclear energy -- and is a key player in reviving Japan's slumping economy.
Support for the new government started out strong, with an approval rating of 62.8 percent in a Kyodo poll released last Saturday.
Noda is Japan's sixth prime minister in five years. Past leaders have had honeymoon periods of relatively high approval ratings that declined steadily as the public grew impatient.
The honeymoon phase will likely take a hit with Hachiro's quick exit.
Noda's predecessor, Naoto Kan, had early approval ratings topping 60 percent that crashed to below 20 percent near the end of his 15-month tenure due to perceptions his government mishandled the tsunami disaster and nuclear crisis.

It has been a long time since I clipped into bike pedals, but I felt it was time to head in that direction. I ordered Shimano's PD-A530 dual platform pedals from Amazon and went to the local Bike Store, Bicycle World, to get the shoes. Shoes is one thing I don't want to order online because of sizing issues. I opted for the Mountain Bike type of shoes because I can walk in them. When finished my riding, I want to get off the bike and be able to walk normally. Not too much to ask for.
Installing the new pedals is a straight forward thing, take the old pedals off and mount the new ones. The shoes have two positions for the cleats, above the ball of foot and below. I went ahead and tried the top position and took the bike out for a spin. Clipping in and out seems fine, so I skipped the clip tension adjustment. At about mile five, my hands were going numb and my feet were feeling a little rough as well the need to stretch out some. Looks like some saddle adjustments are in order. I'll start with raising the seat a centimeter and see how that turns out. That is for another night to do.
Oh, yes, I have forgotten to unclip at an intersection and fallen. I hope to avoid that in the future.

Children with special needs require extra patience and care when it comes to helping them perform tasks that make them anxious or upset. If you're the parent of a special needs child and your child hates brushing and flossing, here are a few tips to make it easier.
Be Creative
Brushing and flossing is a twice daily necessity, but it doesn't have to be boring. Incorporate your child's favorite things into the mix.
If your child still requires your full assistance but doesn't like to cooperate, give them an incentive. Perhaps you don't like them to play games on your smart phone all the time, so save their daily allotment for when it's time to brush and floss. Let your child pick a favorite tune to listen to while you clean their teeth – they'll know that when the song ends, teeth time is over.
Give Them Options
Children like to be a part of their care routines, even if they still require mom and dad's help. To help them feel like they have a say in their dental hygiene, give them some options to choose from.
Bring your child to the store and let them pick a toothbrush or two. Buy multiple flavored toothpastes and switch it up every time it's time to brush. While some children can't handle options and will further meltdown, there are some who become more cooperative the more say they have in a matter. You know your child best, so give them the options you think they can handle.
Model the Behavior
As a parent, it can be easy to fall behind on self care. Remember that regular self care isn't just for you, but it also models good behavior to your child as well.
Not only should you model how to properly blush and floss, but also model how important it is to visit the dentist regularly. Bringing your child to your visit with a professional dentist, like HP Family Dental, gives them the opportunity to observe what happens without experiencing it. This allows them to comprehend it in a different light, and it may even make your child more interested in their own dental care.
The daily brushing and flossing routine doesn't have to be a time of anxiety and upset for you or your child. By implementing one or all of the tips above, even your child can begin to look forward to this time. Think outside the box and incorporate some of your child's favorite things into this routine to help them build positive associations and get them interested in their dental hygiene.Share
15 June 2015
The average dentist takes many client appointments each day and also deals with emergency situations on a regular basis. Dental emergencies are very common because people are likely to put off having tooth pain fixed until the pain becomes unbearable. Some people have anxiety about dental visits, and others are trying to avoid the expense of dental care. In either case, the end result is often a dental emergency. I have worked as a professional dental hygienist for many years and have seen all types of dental emergencies. I hope that this blog will help people identify potential emergencies before they become too serious and will allow people to know when to get help.

It is a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon in Whelan's when I meet singer/songwriter Lucy Rose Parton in the midst of her lengthy European tour promoting her debut album, Like I Used To. Somewhat surreally, the first thing the waif-like 23-year-old does is proffer a tupperware box in my direction and ask if I'd like a brownie. This, I muse through a mouthful of chocolate, isn't that incongruous coming from an artist who, along with the standard merchandise of CDs and t-shirts, is known to sell own-brand jam and tea ("Builder Grey" – two parts English Breakfast, one part Earl Grey).
The brownies are in fact a gift from a fan, but Parton concedes that selling her own tea is unusual as far as music merchandise goes. "It's nice to be able to sell different merch if they've got the CD already," she says, though of course – so the story goes – she started selling her tea at shows back in the days when she didn't have any CDs to sell.
That was a few years ago, when Parton secured a place to read Geography at University College London. "It was always a back-up plan", she explains, "I went to London to try and do music but I had a place at university in case things didn't work out. I didn't know if I was gonna like it or not but I really wanted to give music a shot . . . and then I loved it."
When she left her native home of Warwickshire, Parton played countless open-mic nights, tirelessly perfecting her craft and climbing the hefty ladder of London's music scene. Looking back on those early days, Lucy is quick to dismiss the idea that she is really that far removed from where she started. "It feels like I'm still right at the beginning, and I'm still working towards something . . . " She hesitates before continuing, "It's really good so far, but it's not like things are mad crazy or anything. It still feels like things are getting better and better – a really natural progression."
On the subject of her progression since she started out, at Bestival last September she noted the strangeness of seeing familiar faces from her old school among the sizeable crowd. "Yeah, that was weird. There was another gig recently, actually, and there was this girl who was like . . . the "cool girl" in the year above – and I remember her being like a "mean girl". And I was probably a geek in her eyes at the time but then she came to the show and queued up and she asked for a photo with me. And I just thought, that is hilarious." Former-Regina George cases aside, she is grateful for the support she's been getting: "I mean, people that I knew before are like, 'It's amazing that you're actually doing this,' and, y'know, it's really nice of them."
Her music is pretty and light, her vocals fluid yet powerful, but it is her lyricism especially that has captured attention – it feels a bit like eavesdropping on something very private. Did she feel awkward about playing such candid songs to people for the first time? "Definitely", Parton agrees immediately. "That's why 'Red Face' is called that – I was embarrassed. I mean, all of my songs, really. I don't write songs for anybody else but myself, as a release of my own emotions."
We discuss her musical influences (including Joni Mitchell and Neil Young) but she says that she's not really limited to a particular artist or genre: "I'm influenced by so many things – by good music – by powerful songs, true emotions, interesting musicality . . . Great art, in general."
The first time Lucy Rose came into the public consciousness was probably around the time she started singing with Bombay Bicycle Club, featuring heavily as a vocalist on both Flaws and A Different Kind of Fix, and touring with them before veering off into her own music. "I'd love to work with them again," she says of her time with the band, "It just felt like it was the right time to try and make music for me – I didn't want to be a backing singer for the rest of my life or constantly hanging onto the coattails of somebody else."
In person, Parton is a little more reserved than the openness of her songs might imply, but later that night when she gets on the stage, she really comes alive. She tells me earlier that the part of tour where she's happiest is when she gets to play to a new crowd every night. I ask her what I fear is a somewhat clichéd question: where does she see herself in five years time? Her response makes me glad I asked, however: "I don't want to be anywhere but where I am right now. If I'm still getting paid to make music then I'm gonna be truly happy."

Today's Look - 2.22.085:48 PM
This morning I had a buisiness meeting, so although I would usually go dark when I wear black clothes, I decided to do some neutral golds and browns on my eyes. I actually used this as an opportunity to try some of my new NYX eyeshadows (NYX Pearl Walnut and NYX Pearl Oro). I loved them! The texture is very smooth and even, the pigmentation is fantastic, and there is a great pearl shimmer to them. They remind me a lot of the MAC pigments, but they were a little easier for me to use, and the price is is much more managable ($0.99 at Cherry Culture)!

Neck Care "film" essential
Studies in humans the neck is a "troubled triangle", relatively thin neck, thin and fragile skin, the thickness of the face only 2 / 3, texture, deep and horizontal, less collagen content in cells, and thus likely to lack flexibility, less blood-red pigments that neck dull and more yellow.

Therefore, neck care "film" is very important.

Simple cooking coup to get rid of excess fat weight loss
Make peace with fat and delicious
Said "Food," Once the food and clothing lines, and that they would have become "food to taste at the head." Not great food, no matter how rich nutrition, after all, do not eat mayonnaise did not taste, the quality of life is significantly impaired. However, the taste and nutrition, often two indicators are contradictory. 40% no fat, no Huanen duck taste; not 40% fat, no fragrant stuffing Roubao Zi taste; not tablespoons tablespoon of cooking oil, the flavor of food is often disappointing.
Weight for fat and delicious peace, it is a profound subject of cooking them. However, although too difficult to obtain the whole solution, part of the breakthrough is still possible. As long as brains, it is possible to retain the delicious premise, effectively reduce fat content.
Weight Loss Method 1:
After cooking oil control. Cook pot diagonal two or three minutes, let the oil flow out of the dish, then put food dish. Some vegetable oil less, it is suitable for this method. I often use this method.
Weight Loss Method 2:
Weight loss and finally put a teaspoon of salad sesame oil, and then immediately eat. This fragrance can be effectively distributed it, but oil was not subject to absorption into the food needs of the oil is relatively small.
Weight Loss Method 3:
After the soup to remove the above weight oil. Chicken, ribs, beef brisket, stew, etc. After the bones are out of oil, the oil surface to write out, put another small bowl,LAUNCH X-431|Bmw GT1|diagnostic tool |auto diagnostic tools|Auto Testing Tools|Transponder Key|Alarms and Security|Auto Locksmith Tools|inpa k+can|xprog-m|upa usb|volvo vida dice you can eat a lot of fat in the soup.
Method 4:
Weight loss to the deep-fried, roasted, or non-stick oven can be used. Especially meat or fish cakes flavored frozen, in fact, in this way is not bad taste, but it can reduce fat from 22% to 8%.
Method 5:
Add spices to cook the meat and then sliced to seven mature speculation. This eliminates the need for a separate release of pork with an oil. Other raw materials until half cooked, then dropped to the meat without adding extra fat, like the very fragrant. Meanwhile, cook the meat inside when the oil came out in the part, inside and outside in the reduction of fat.
Method 6:
Not altogether to lose weight or less oil in cooking oil, such as steamed, grilled or raw food. Sashimi is not inferior to the delicious braised fish. Steam beans, steamed eggplant, steamed pumpkin are quite tasty. With very little oil to grilled fish, grilled meat, as long as the extra point spices, taste good.
Weight of oil used to be isolated
However, those who have been separated from the oil is not a meaningless waste. In the cooking process, the oil which dissolved carotene, lycopene, lutein, vitamin k, vitamin a nutrition and health, and many other ingredients, throw away is very unfortunate. How can they take advantage of it? Like some small way.
Use 1: the remainder of cooking oil used to make salad, substitute sesame oil and salad oil, the taste is often very good.
Use 2: the remainder of cooking oil used to make pancakes, fried bun film, films such as roasted sweet potatoes. However, remember that these foods and low fat salad mix to do.
Uses 3: Production of noodles and vegetables, top with the remaining oil or fat soup can.
Use 4: the oil used to make the above soup stew and soup, add lots of vegetables. In this way, the vegetables taste good, but vegetables can promote the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

Fitness training is mainly glycogen supply of energy. The most effective way to replenish glycogen stores, is in training or competition before or breakfast intake of food rich in carbohydrates.
Now, many fitness coaches and players started to eat rice as breakfast is the ideal energy supplementation. The reason is the digestion of rice in the human body (digestion of food) than slow, more readily absorbed, and blood glucose (blood sugar food) flat response, so that energy supply can be maintained longer. In contrast, other carbohydrates, such as bread, potatoes, etc., although the body's blood sugar levels can increase rapidly, but the blood sugar levels followed by a sharp decline in Youyi the same rate, so that athletes will soon feel hunger weakness. Best to eat less rice and eggs breakfast!
Fasting is not eating sweets
Training in response to hypoglycemia concentrated drink syrup is immediately effective approach. However, If you want to use in training before the fasting means eating sweets to increase the body's glycogen reserves, a serious mistake.
In theory, after eating sweets, blood glucose will rise. At this time, the release of insulin to glucose machine experience into glycogen, so that blood sugar back to normal. If the fasting to eat sweets, then make excessive release of insulin, so blood sugar decreased rapidly, and even the formation of low blood sugar, thus forcing the body's release of the second hormone - adrenaline, so that blood sugar back to normal. The role of these two hormones will make people dizzy, headache, sweating, exhaustion.
In addition, the dessert only to body heat, but the relative lack of vitamins (vitamin food) B, cellulose, Ge and other nutrients, causing the body can not convert sugar into energy. Food, too much sugar, cellulose (cellulose food) is also easy to make less than the normal intestinal flora has been cleared, and these normal flora to the production of vitamin B2, B3, B12 and folate (folic acid food). Therefore, fasting is not only sweet foods cause low blood sugar, and could lead to nutritional deficiencies.
British physiologist Anna. Firth and John. Hardin research shows that there is loss fasting eat sweets of various proteins in the human body absorption. They put all kinds of protein solution with high sugar content, sugar will be found to combine them with protein, thereby changing the protein structure, the decline in nutritional value of protein.

Travel tips for Madrid, Spain – part two
The blog post before this was about the main sites to see in Madrid. This post will cover two other interesting places to see that are off the beaten path.
My favorite location in Madrid is the Sorolla Museum and Gardens. If you are an art lover or a garden lover this is a must see!
In case you are unfamiliar with Sorolla and his work…
Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida was a Spanish painter known mainly for painting landscapes and portraits. Sorolla was born in Valencia and studied painting on his own until going to Rome, Italy after serving in the Spanish army and studying painting at the Spanish Academy. Sorolla went on to have exhibitions, portrait commissions, and received awards for his work.
Sorolla's paintings are full of light and warm colors. His portraits are graceful and inviting, portraits of well known individuals from Spanish Royalty to friends and family. He also painted many beach scenes, countless paintings of his family and his wife, and landscapes.
The Sorolla Museum in Madrid was his house and studio. The building is lovely with creaky wooden floors, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. Paintings cover every inch the walls and the rooms have the original family furniture.
The largest room was Sorolla's studio and in one corner there is an easel set up and a side table with old paint brushes and paint pallets – it feels as though Sorolla just stepped out of room. At the far right of the room there are small sketches framed and hanging on the wall that I always enjoy studying.
There is also a second floor with more portraits, some of them studies for larger murals. And then there is the dining room which is another favorite room of mine because of the painted border which Sorolla did himself. The dining room border consists of a garland with bunches of fruit being held by Sorolla's wife and children.
Aside from the house and the studio there is the garden. The gardens at the Sorolla Museum are so tranquil and beautiful at any time of day and any time of year!
Another interesting site is the Royal Tapestry Museum and Factory. The Royal Tapestry factory was established in the 18th century and is still functioning today and also restores old tapestries. You can tour the factory and see the craftsmen at work; the tour requires a guide.
I think any trip to Madrid should include these two places!

The digitalization of the economy is inexorably on the rise. It questions long-standing business models and is becoming a massive driver of economic upheavals. Not surprisingly, small service providers with limited budgets are still quite hesitant when it comes to the use of digital solutions. Hair Salons, restaurants, craftsmen and other service providers are often reluctant to use comprehensive digital solutions. There are two main reasons: A lack of technical knowledge and awareness of the opportunities they offer, and skepticism in terms of costs. But digitalization will unstoppably find its way into the small service provider's everyday business – thus opening the doors for new business models in innovative startups.
How digitalization opens doors
What are the reasons behind that? On the one hand, customers are increasingly active online. They search for information on their smartphone, shop online and organize as many things as possible using the internet – anytime and anywhere. Small service providers have to adapt this trend. They have to learn that digitalization is becoming an important instrument to make them stand out from their competitors.
Furthermore, another trend will increase the importance of digitalization for small service providers. The small learn from the big. Of course a hairdresser doesn't have to care about every new trend, like the semantic web. But the awareness that the digitalization is linked with great chances will increasingly spread. Most digitalization tools were first used by leading companies. Now they will find their way to small service providers. This trend will yet again accelerate within the next years.
Online Appointment Booking
An example of the advantage of digital solutions is online appointment booking. Online, in this case stands for independence from time and space. Let's take the example of a wellness provider. Imagine while sitting on the sofa late in the evening, you can check the availability of an appointment for a massage. For the service provider there is no disturbing phone call. Furthermore, other options are imaginable, for example the automated appointment reminder via short message or e-mail. The reduced number of no-shows alone is sufficient to cover the cost of an appropriate software solution. It is very likely, that online booking becomes mainstream within the coming years; especially service providers that are new to the market will rely on it.
Customer Management
A further example is customer management. Compared to the outdated index card systems, there are significant advantages that can be achieved with an intelligent software. For example, a hairdresser can have a comprehensive overview and will immediately know, when their customer was last in the salon, whether they prefer their coffee black or with milk, etc The hairdresser can take a picture of their customer being particularly happy with a certain hair color or the customer can send one. For example, if they are interested in having the same hairstyle of a certain celebrity. Taken individually, these options may not seem like a big thing, but in total they will cause a higher customer satisfaction and in turn more revenue.
New ways to provide feedback
Moreover, digital customer management offers new ways of providing feedback. For example, there is the possibility to ask the customers for feedback the day after their appointment – fully automated via e-mail or text message. Most of the customers feel more valued when asked for feedback on their degree of satisfaction. For the service provider, this has two advantages. Firstly, the provided feedback is often more honest, comprehensive and valuable than the feedback directly on site. Secondly, it reduces the risk of unhappy customers expressing their disappointment on an online platform. Moreover, by receiving negative feedback directly from the customer, the service provider can immediately get in touch with them.
Also in marketing, service providers can now break the mold, while in the past being limited to an ad in the local newspaper due to restricted budgets. Social Media is one thing, but, there are other ways to communicate with their customers. For example, they can be contacted by text message or e-mail. A restaurant could, for example, send out their lunch menus on a daily basis or call attention to special offers to make sure that the frequency of customer visits increases. There is a high potential for customer contact here just like when communicating with customers during dining.
Online Visibility and Reach
In this context, online visibility and reach is a factor that is strongly gaining in importance, especially for potential new customers. The number of consumers, that keeps tabs on special offers in the web is growing and growing, which is also related to the increasing number of smartphones. An appealing and mobile-friendly website is important, but, moreover, it is of great significance to appear in the top search results when people Google for a certain service. For example, there are solutions today, that make sure, that service providers are automatically present in the most important online partner directories. Thereby, improving their search engine ranking.
These are only a few examples that could be utilized unlimitedly. In 5 to 10 years the described digital solutions will be a crucial business factor also for small, local service providers. Those who seize the opportunity will be more successful in the future. Especially for aspiring startups, there are great opportunities to take advantage of this change by providing both innovative and affordable solutions.

OLYMPIA — A bill aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of criminals was signed into law by Gov. Jay Inslee Thursday, making Washington one of the few states in the country to pass new gun legislation.
The bill sponsored by State Rep. Mike Hope, R-Lake Stevens, would require people with felony gun convictions to register in a statewide database twice per year with local law enforcement. This practice, Hope said, would allow police to become more familiar with registered gun offenders.
The registry — similar to a sex offender registry — will only be accessible by law enforcement agents. The database will be used primarily when officers make a Terry Stop, made when a police officer temporarily detains a person upon "reasonable suspicion" that the person has engaged in a crime.
"A common factor in the majority of gun homicides is that perpetrators had previous gun convictions," Hope said. "If we can stop criminals now, before they escalate their behavior, then we can save lives."
The law will become effective July 28.
