Fabulous 8.8 From 130 reviews
Hotel is nice but room smaller than the room of the same category compared to other 5 star hotels
My wife and I decided to fly in for a quick event on Broadway. We chose the Mandarin Oriental because it was an upscale Hotel with an excellent restaurant and Lounge. We were disappointed in our stay in that on both nights that we were on property the restaurants and lounges we're completely booked up with private events. Could these parties or events not be held in a separate conference area or Ballroom? Instead we were left to try to find other nearby dining and incurred considerable fees ubering to other dining destinations. To add insult to injury, we had arranged for a car through the hotel to take us to our event at the theater. When we arrive downstairs, it was discovered that no arrangement had been made by the hotel staff. Needless to say, staying at the Mandarin Oriental was a bit chaotic and we will not be back until they choose to invest in providing advertised dining venues to their guests, rather than inconveniencing us through efforts trying to build additional revenue through private events.
Great hotel, amazing staff! we will definitely stay again!
Booked multiple rooms for "a" list movie star and executive producers. Hotel staff was amazing
The room was very quiet which was nice, the view was good, the bed was comfortable, and the location is great. The Women's spa was under construction or something so that was unavailable. The restaurant was reserved by a private party during our stay so that was unavailable to us as well when we would have likely gone. The lady that checked us in was over the top subservient followed later by staff that seemed inconvenienced that we were there. The pictures out the window on hotels.com are taken in such a way that you can't see Trump tower square in the middle of the view. We were on the 54th floor which is the top and it blocked a substantial portion of the view. We were also at the end of the hall so potentially rooms at the other end might have a better view. We could see both the Hudson river and Central Park from our room. It was still nice even with the Trump building in the way.
One of the best hotels in NYC.
Stayed in a suite with family overlooking riverside. Everything was as hoped it would be for 2 day 'treat' celebrating family birthday. Kids were spoilt!
Very good. But spa facilities are not good at all and the room equipment is updated. Today in-room coffee machine is a must for this kind of Hotels.

Switzerland - Suisse - Schweiz - Svizzera!
A hidden gem
Switzerland is a unique, beautiful destination that can be explored all year round and serves as the heart of Europe, with easy access to travel and explore European destinations. With plenty of outdoor activities on offer, as well as cities steeped in heritage, there really is something for everyone.
Switzerland's mountains, valleys, lakes and glaciers offer students year-round opportunities for individual and team outdoor activities. World-renowned exhibitions such as the Geneva motor show and festivals take place throughout the calendar year satisfying all cultural tastes in music from pop to jazz to classical. In short, Switzerland also offers an extensive range of sporting and cultural activities.
Summer Fun!
The Montreux Jazz Festival is one of the most famous music festivals in the world, and has just celebrated its 50th anniversary. On for two weeks in July, artists from all around the world gather here and, since expanding from its jazz roots, an eclectic mix of music can be heard!
The mountainous regions are also beautiful and perfect for outdoor adventures. There are many hiking and biking trails as well as:

Warning: no actual answers are given in this post 🙂
For a long time I've been fascinated what object-oriented programming is really all about. I've never talked to someone who could give me a closed definition, or could even give me the reasons why OOP is a good (or bad) idea. Lately I've been doing quite a lot of research, which led me to things as The early history of Smalltak, Smalltalk itself, a lot of work from Alan Kay, the Viewpoints Research Institute, Lisp, COLAs, Meta II and a lot more stuff. Very interesting, I can tell you, but while I learned a lot, I still don't have the answers. Nevertheless, I thought it would be time to write down my results/thoughts so far.
For a lot of people, OOP is mostly about classes, inheritance, polymorphism and modelling nouns from the real world. When you go back in history, however, you'll find that the term object-oriented programming was first used by Alan Kay, and he doesn't seem to mean the aforementioned things at all. Instead, he says the most important idea about OOP is messaging, and that the term OOP was actually not that well chosen since it puts the focus on objects instead. He also says:
OOP to me means only messaging, local retention and protection and hiding of state-process, and extreme late-binding of all things.
I'm specifically interested in this "definition". Why? If a visionary like Alan Kay finds this important, it probably is. And I like to know important stuff 🙂 So what do these 3 things mean, what problems do they solve and how does OOP relate to them. Spoiler: I don't have (all) the answers yet. Let's visit these three concepts, and how I understand them at the moment.
Messaging. Communication between objects is done through messaging only. Each object decides how to interpret and act on a message themselves. Objects need to decide how messaging works up front.
Local retention and protection and hiding of state-process. An object has private memory which no other object can access. If another objects wants access to some of the data of an object, this needs to happen through a message. An object itself is in control of actually granting that request.
Extreme late-binding of all the things. This is the one I have the most trouble with grasping the consequences. The idea is to bind everything to concrete stuff as late as possible. For example: compiling to bytecode binds your code to a particular machine later than compiling directly to machine code. The main idea here is that you can delay important choices until you have better understanding. In C# a lot of decisions are already made for you (everything is an object, no multiple inheritance, etc) and we bind early to those decisions since there is no way to change them later. If we later find out multiple-inheritance would help in some part of our code, we have no way to do that. The same goes for selecting which method is gonna interpret a message, in C# this is determined compile time which forces you to do all kinds of weird stuff should you actually want to do that runtime.
From a software development point of view, I've seen all three things being helpful in one context or another: it feels logical that combining them indeed yields a very powerful programming model. Why Alan Kay thinks these 3 specifically are that important, however, I'm still not sure. At one point, he talks about Real Computers All The Way Down (RCATWD), meaning that every object can represent anything. That's powerful, and I currently think it's related to that, but I'm not exactly sure in what way yet.
One thing I noticed on reviewing this post is that at no point I'm talking about programming languages. That's probably not coincidental, in the sense that OOP is not tied to any particular language; you can actually do OOP in a non-OOP language, and you can program in a non-OO style in OO languages.
So what is OOP? It seems safe to say that fundamental elements of this programming style are at least objects and messages, where objects communicate with each other through the messages. Objects have a private memory to store the data they need to carry out their computation. And that's where things get messy: does everything need to be an object? If it is, how do you actually represent data (something like church numerals?)? If it's not, where do you draw the line? Does it really matter, or is it fine to do just parts of your system OOP? How does functional relate to OOP?
All kind of questions I don't really have an answer to at the moment, but I'll get back to you if I find out..

Give your social media a spring-cleaning this year
Your bedroom floor isn't the only thing you should be cleaning this spring season. Social media needs yearly management, monitoring, and organization to keep both you and your business persona looking professional and appealing to visitors. It's hard to keep up with every single post, comment, and photo added to profiles, which means while you're avoiding dusting your furniture this April, sit down and give your social media a thorough spring cleaning instead.
When you finally sit down to clean out the ole profiles, here are a few pointers for brushing up your digital presence:
1. Photo Cleanse
There's no way you caught every single inappropriate or unflattering social media photo post this year. You're only human. Now is the time, however, to do some damage control and check your tagged and public photos on all of your social media profiles – yes, all of them.
2. Delete Accounts
If you have a ton of social profiles you barely use anymore, consider deleting them. The more profiles you own, the greater your risk of identity theft. If you haven't posted on that business Google Plus page in a year, you're not going to. Stop kidding yourself.
3. Security Settings
If you're a social media pioneer, chances are you made your profiles before all of the fancy security and privacy settings were added. You could be unknowingly publicly exposed on Facebook because you never took the time to check out your security settings. Please, go check them out.
4. Search Engine Test
It doesn't get simpler than this: type your name in Google and search the results. If you're already squirming and the results aren't even loaded, that definitely means your social media needs a cleanse. Check out the results. If you hate the photos you see, delete the source images.
It's as easy as that! Give your social media persona a little tender-love-and-care this spring season. You'll be happy you did.
Facebook launches an app for Virtual Reality goggles
Virtual Reality (VR) is all the rage today. Engineers are gearing up for what is going to undoubtedly be the next hottest thing for a decade or so, and Facebook wants to, of course, be part of the hype. As the home to over 25 million 360-degree photos and close to 1 million immersive videos, Facebook has decided they want users to be able to experience this content from a VR perspective.
To make it possible, Facebook got fancy and released an app last week, Facebook 360, that is compatible with strictly Samsung Gear VR and other Gear VR-related goggles. Though it doesn't resemble the normal Facebook app, Facebook 360 still provides users with the ability to "react" to the content, as well as share it to their Facebook 360 timelines.
Facebook 360 has four separate feeds at users fingertips: content from followed friends, saved content, an explore feed for finding new content, and a timeline option that strictly displays your own personal 360 content.
Facebook, this week, stated that they hope to bring Facebook 360 to additional headsets in the future. They plan to add more social features and improve upon the app experience every week until it wields the same power the main platform has today.
Are you interested in VR developments and industry announcements? Stay tuned right here with us. We'll keep you updated.
Why Video Marketing is an inexpensive way to secure clients today
You've probably received at least 10 annoying "Live" notifications from both Facebook and Instagram this week. Social media platforms are so high on Live Videoing right now… it's kind of overwhelming. There's a reason they're obsessing over the hottest interactive fad in the game today – they know it's what people want to see.
Video Marketing, both regular and Live, is an inexpensive way for your business to outshine the competition today. All you need is a camera or Smartphone, a creative idea, and a little encouragement to get in front of your business followers. The results can be big enough to compete with even the most known brands in the world. One "viral" video can take your small business to national status, and it really is as easy as that.
Though most people are camera shy, here are a few benefits of getting past your fear and pulling that camera out:
1. Showcase your services
2. Answer customer questions
3. Engage followers in contests
4. Ask for customer feedback
5. Introduce office staff
6. Give office tours
7. Read client testimonials
…And the list goes on. Video is an incredibly ingenious and affordable avenue to demonstrate your product or service for followers in an easy-to-understand way. Plus, with video, customers will have an authentic connection with you and your brand, making them more likely to purchase from you down the road.
The ultimate takeaway here is: don't be shy! Even if you botch your first Live Videos, they're going to garner way more traction and attention than sharing an article to your business page. People are fascinated with video – especially Live Video – so give the people what they want.
Generating leads on LinkedIn: 3 easy steps
LinkedIn is by far the most misunderstood social media platform in the game today. Though people understand it is a place to professionally connect with colleagues and employers, they fail to explore its lead-generating resources and tools available for growing a client base.
Simply put: LinkedIn doesn't get the love it deserves.
We're here to explain why you should love LinkedIn, and we're going to start by providing 3 easy steps to start generating leads for your business:
1. Article Publishing
Nothing legitimizes your expertise in a specific field more than publishing a free article for reading. Most people don't realize that LinkedIn has its own blog feature built into the platform, enabling you to publish articles that are then shared with your entire network. And since LinkedIn is considered the serious and professional place to interact with people, your articles are going to be read at a much higher rate than they are on more "fun" platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
2. Group Involvement
Be honest, did you even know you could join groups on LinkedIn? There are tens of millions of highly active groups on LinkedIn at this very second interacting, networking, and scoring clients. All you have to do is request to join a group, and once approved, start posting whatever content you want while communicating with other group members. This is a great place to connect with fellow industry professionals, or to immerse yourself in ideal client pools and start sourcing your leads list.
3. Individual Celebration
Sure, Facebook is full of clicking the Like or Love button to win over other's favor when they post the typical "look at me" photos and paragraphs. But, on LinkedIn, it's actually constructive to take time to celebrate others. To show the love on LinkedIn, it's done via recommendations, reviews, and skill endorsements. So, if you're chasing down a lead and want to get them to consider you more carefully, go over to their profile and endorse their skills while writing them a heartfelt review. It's impossible not to love you after that.
Feel a little less scared of LinkedIn? Though it has a serious tone to it, LinkedIn can take your business and build it a steady stream of leads with just 20 minutes of activity every day.
3 reasons why your business needs a chatbot NOW
It seemed like a fantasy of the future not too long ago when cartoons and TV shows poked fun at using robots for daily human support. There was Karen, Plankton's computer wife on Spongebob, the Jetsons, My Life As A Teenage Robot, and so many others throughout the last 30 years. Though we don't quite have teenager robots floating around our streets yet, we do have the creation of chatbots for human-to-robot conversational interaction on a business or brand's behalf.
What is a chatbot?
A chatbot is an artificial intelligence system that interacts with humans over an Internet-based text chat. The interactions can be straightforward, like placing a pizza delivery order, or they can be complex, like troubleshooting a problem with Internet service. The one-on-one business-to-consumer interaction potential just got a whole lot bigger with the implementation of these conversational bots.
Here are 3 reasons why your business needs a chatbot NOW:
1. Scalability
Up until now, humans were tasked with answering business questions and inquiries. That means only a certain volume of questions could be answered every single hour. With a robot, an infinite amount of questions can be fielded and answered in a single second, with perfect, preprogrammed accuracy. Wow.
2. Engagement
Social media may be to blame for this one. Consumers are spoiled today. They're used to a steady stream of optimized content, persuading them to make purchases. They're used to direct contact with businesses through social media profiles. Therefore, they expect this kind of engagement on apps and websites. Chatbots are the perfect way to provide them with personalized, instant engagement as often as they want it.
3. Millennials
Whether this word makes you laugh or cringe, millennials are the most powerful consumer group in the world today. How they go about acquiring their purchases is kind of important. It's no secret that millennials prefer text chats to any other kind of consumer support (we're looking at you, smartphones). By having a chatbot, you'll be catering to the most active consumers in the game today.
Still not totally clear on what a chatbot is? Fear not, we do offer comprehensive informational classes in which we teach you about chatbots, how to create them, and how to anticipate questions for your bot to answer. Check out our new teaching branch: http://socialmeuniversity.com/.

About Counseling
Many students experience difficulties including stress, depression, anxiety and relationship problems during their college years and find it's helpful to discuss concerns with a counselor. The CTC offers short-term counseling based on a brief treatment model to help students learn new skills to deal more effectively with problems interfering with their personal well-being and academic goals.
Undergraduate students enrolled in four or more credits are eligible for counseling, psychiatric services and psychoeducational assessment services. Students who do not meet the credit-hour requirements and prospective students are eligible for limited services.
Part-time graduate students completing research are eligible for services on a case-by-case basis.
Counseling services are free. A fee is charged for psychiatric and psychoeducational assessments and to cover the cost of some assessment services.
Yes. Counseling sessions are confidential.
Information cannot be released to anyone outside the CTC unless authorized by the student, faculty or staff member, or required by law. Idaho state law requires psychologists and graduate intern and practicum students to report limited information if there is reasonable suspicion that a minor, handicapped or elderly person is being abused, or if a person presents a serious danger of harming themselves or others.
Initial screening sessions usually last about 30 minutes. Individual appointments usually last 50 minutes.
Individual counseling is offered for students with personal concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship problems, suicidal thoughts or difficulties adjusting to college life
Career counseling is also available.
The demands of college can place strain on relationships. Counseling is available for couples who are experiencing difficulties or wish to improve the quality of their relationship. At least one member of the couple must be a student.

Forget those stuffy black- and white-tie hospital galas.
For the past 12 years, the Northwestern Memorial Hospital Auxiliary Board has put on one of Chicago's most buzz-worthy singles event, Summer Lovin'. But the evening isn't just about great food and conversation—it raises major money for medical research.
The event started with 300 people as a "beer and brats" party at Northwestern's law school courtyard downtown. But the following year, after it scored a partnership with Chicago magazine, the event expanded. For the past five years, it has garnered more than 1,000 people and several restaurant sponsorships and is held at the Museum of Contemporary Art. In addition, the editorial group from Chicago magazine picks the hottest 20 singles for its June/July issue; this year, a doctor and Northwestern board member were highlighted.
The goal for the board is to raise $100,000 in a two-year period. This money is given to a doctor who wants to do specific medical research. The majority of the $100,000 is from Summer Lovin', but the board does host another event in the fall, along with a few third-party events that might pop up.
More than 40 doctors submit their proposals to the board (a representative from Northwestern Memorial Hospital helps the board sift through the applications and doctor-lingo). The $100,000 from the board is "seed money" for the doctor, and its purpose is to help the doctor generate more money and bigger grants for research.
This year, the board is supporting Dr. Andrew Naidech, who wants to research new therapies for stroke patients. The board gave him $50,000 last November and will give him the additional money this year. He's been actively applying and receiving other grants for his research.
"For our board, it's really exciting for us to see how far our dollars can go," says Laura Beres, board president.
Mixing traditional and social media
The board ranges in age from 24 to 40. To hit its target demographic to market this event, it primarily goes where its audience is: online.
"We're pretty deliberate about our use of social media," Beres says. "Social media is the way most people in our age group find out about things. At our board meetings, our PR committee talks to us about how we can help drum up support."
Here are six ways the board markets the event:
1. Summer Lovin' has an active Facebook page. "All of our members, with the exception of one, are on Facebook," Beres says. "They are constantly given mini-updates that they can copy and paste on their own Facebook page, with a link back to ticket purchasing."
2. The website went through a major redesign this year. "Any time we send out any communication, we link to our website," Beres says.
3. The Twitter account is active, with more than 100 followers. Frequently, the PR team tweets information about restaurants that are sponsoring the event, and their reps RT those tweets in response.
4. Grass-roots marketing is not forgotten. For example, board members went to a popular Chicago art fair and passed out "save the date" cards. The board also went on bar crawls to talk about the event. "We put ourselves where our audience is," Beres says.
5. Traditional media still counts. Even though Chicago wrote a feature article about the event, there was also a full-page ad in the RedEye, an alternative daily tabloid. There will also be stories about the event on radio stations, Windy City Live, and a few other news outlets. "The week before the event gets a lot of press," Beres says.
6. Partnering with other young organizations has been successful. For example, the team gives away a few tickets to staff at Chicago Sports and Social. In return, this group emails Summer Lovin' info—twice—to its list of 20,000 recipients. "If two tickets are a $170 value, even if only two people buy from it, we'll have broken even."
To track which method works best, people are asked online how they heard about the event when they buy their tickets. Currently, it's too early to track where people have heard about it this year, but traditionally, the majority of people say they heard about it from another board member or a strategic partnership, Beres says.
Ultimately, what does Beres thinks makes this event so successful?
"It's for a great cause, most importantly," Beres says, "but we're combining the best things about Chicago—our philanthropic community, talented young singles, and our great restaurants."

The AlphaLISA® immunoassay kit for human S100A4 enables the quantitative determination of human S100 calcium-binding protein A4 in serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), buffered solution, and cell culture supernatants using a homogeneous AlphaLISA assay (no wash steps).
Item(s) added to cart.
For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Please enter valid quantity
Please log in to add favorites.
AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in buffer, cell culture media, serum and plasma in a highly sensitive, quantitative, reproducible and user-friendly mode. In an AlphaLISA assay, a Biotinylated Anti-Analyte Antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Alpha Donor beads, while another Anti-Analyte Antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads provokes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.
S100 calcium-binding protein A4 (S100A4) is a protein encoded by the S100A4 gene and is a member of the S100 family of proteins. In the cell, S100 proteins are localized mainly to the cytoplasm and the nucleus and regulate cellular processes. S100A4 has been well characterized for its role in cancer, particularly, enhanced cell growth and mobility leading to tumor progression and metastasis. This protein has been regarded a valuable biomarker since its expression level has been correlated with metastasis potential of many types of cancer, specifically, lung, prostate, breast and bone cancers. The S100A4 AlphaLISA kit was designed to detect S100A4 in serum, plasma, CSF, cell culture supernatants and cell lysates.

Liverpool have completed the signing of German midfielder Emre Can from Bayer Leverkusen, the club have confirmed.
The Reds agreed a deal in principle for the 20-year-old early last month but had to wait until the summer transfer window officially opened on 1 July to register his paperwork and complete international clearance.
The club are understood to have met his £9.75m release clause.
"Emre is an exciting young talent and I'm delighted he's chosen Liverpool for the next phase of his development and growth as a player," Rodgers told Liverpool's official website.
"He has recognised that we are a club that improves and nurtures exciting, ambitious players and I'm looking forward to seeing him take those next steps forward for us."
Emre left the Allianz Arena last summer in search of greater first team football opportunities with Bayern inserting a buyback clause into the deal that saw him join Leverkusen.
The versatile midfielder becomes Brendan Rodgers' third acquisition of the summer following the arrivals of former Southampton duo Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert.
"It was an easy decision for me to sign with Liverpool as I had a very good chat with the manager, which clearly showed that the club and he wanted to sign me. This was important for me. I can say it was an easy decision for me," Emre said.
"I just want to give my best and help the team as much as I can. I believe this season the team finished second in the league, so I want to be a Premier League champion next season."

Paul Loeb has just published a nice, thoughtful piece about the Greg Mortensen affair. I particularly liked the following couple of 'grafs, because they remind us that our fascination with Mortensen is part of a larger, unhealthy dynamic in which we fetishize "innovation" and "heroes" while ignoring systems approaches and long-term experience.
The arc of Mortenson's fame also reminds me how much our culture enshrines lone entrepreneurs as the ultimate change agents, while displaying a commensurate disdain for those who've long worked in the trenches. We see this in international development, where businesspeople or celebrities receive massive publicity for their glamorous new projects, while groups like Oxfam or CARE that work year after year in local communities are left invisible in the shadows, or presented as dull, bureaucratic, and retrograde in comparison. We see the same thing with America's educational debates, where those who talk glibly of solving poverty and inequality with the instant solutions of high stakes testing, charter schools, or eliminating the long-held rights of teachers receive massive attention, while the experiences of those who've actually spent 20 or 30 years in the classrooms are disdained and ignored.
Sometimes fresh approaches can shake things up, and Mortenson's focus on getting Pakistani and Afghan girls enrolled in school may well be one of those transformative ideas. But his books still feed the narrative that the best way to make change is to ignore pretty much anything that anyone else has been doing all along, and to charge ahead with your own Lone Ranger initiatives.

Hello and welcome to my website. Do take a look around and if you have questions, or concerns you can call or email and we can have a conversation without obligation.
I offer psychotherapy, creative art therapy and clinical supervision in a safe, confidential and non-judgemental setting.
Everyone experiences emotional difficulties at some stage in life and they can often be resolved without outside help, although sometimes they are too challenging to cope with alone. There are times when speaking with friends or family isn't possible, and these are times when seeking a therapist with training and experience can be an invaluable option and resource.
Are you:
- struggling with unwanted changes in your life?
- managing difficult feelings?
- feeling overloaded and burnt-out?
- affected by the uncertain times in which we live?
- has something unexpected happened?
- maybe you have recognised a troubling pattern in yourself?
- trying to make sense of something less defined that is
I have a wide range of experience so do make contact even if you don't see your particular struggles here:
Do you have ME / CFS, Fibromyalgia, EDS, or Chronic Pain Syndrome? I offer a body mind approach to managing pain and ongoing symptoms. If you are interested in finding out more then do call me for an informal chat to see if this is for you.
Sometimes it is helpful to work outside, reconnecting to nature can help us reconnect to our inner nature.
Everyone is unique and with respect to this diversity I work with people from all walks of life and cultures.

Clinical Supervision
I offer Clinical Supervision and work with both individuals and groups. My approach is reflexive and integrative and I work with students in training as well as qualified therapists, and anyone who works with people in a helping capacity, such as social workers, support workers, nurses, doctors, coaches and those who hold a spiritual or religious role. Creative art practices can be included in the supervision process if that is helpful. I am happy to have an informal conversation if you wish to discuss your clinical needs and the possibility of working together.

It's that point in the holiday when parents feel like it's been going on forever and wonder if we've had too much fun and kids realise there's very little time left before school starts and they need to squeeze in as much fun as possible. Also, the moment when the dreaded feeling we have to go on the school shoe shop occurs and everyone wonders if last year's shoes will be ok still (they never are).
In our house, we're facing the last year of school for the first time and the first year of school for the last time. Conversations are on how to keep motivated to study when the long term gain feels far away and there are other things that are much more fun to fill your time with. Lots of reassurance that friends will be made and fun will be had is required.
Everyone wants to know what I will do once I have no more preschoolers at home. The short term answer is "have a nap". Then after that organise a conference. But in the long term, I don't know. If I start to think too much I have to start managing anxiety. Which of course is wasted energy that's not going to help with anything right now while I can't do anything solid about it. So I'm learning (always learning) to focus on today, what I'm doing right now and stay present because when the time comes I will find the right path. For this time of parenting, I need to be focused not distracted with possible futures.
I had some pears that weren't being eaten fast enough so I looked for something to bake with some of them and decided to try out pear and honey flapjacks.
These have sugar in as well as the honey so I thought they might be a bit more indulgent. Turns out I'm so used to low sugar flapjacks now that I found them a bit sweet but the main issue for me was they use the same amount of nuts as oats which seems to be where they fall apart (literally) and I found them too chewy. The other member of the taste team to try them so far loved all the nuts though so I guess that's more of a taste thing.
Grating the pear was a bit of a faff but other than that it's a pretty simple recipe.
I made the mistake of thinking they weren't completely done at the end of the first 30 minutes and then getting a little distracted during the extra 5 minutes so they turned into an extra 10 minutes. Which is why there are a few 'caramelised' nuts, but overall they weren't overdone anyway.

The University of Pittsburgh is an internationally recognized center for academics and research. The Accreditation Review Commission on Education for the Physician Assistant (ARC-PA) has granted Accreditation - Continued status to the Physician Assistant Program sponsored by the University of Pittsburgh. Accreditation-Continued is an accreditation status granted when a currently accredited program is in compliance with the ARC-PA Standards.
Accreditation remains in effect until the program closes or withdraws from the accreditation process or until accreditation is withdrawn for failure to comply with the Standards. The approximate date for the next validation review of the program by ARC-PA will be March 2028. The review date is contingent upon continued compliance with the Accreditation Standards and ARC-PA policy.
Graduates of the professional program are eligible to sit for the Physician Assistant National Certification Exam (PANCE) administered by the National Commission on Certification of the Physician Assistant (NCCPA). All States and the District of Columbia have legislation governing the qualifications or practice of physician assistants. All jurisdictions require physician assistants to pass the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination. Only those successfully completing the examination may use the credential "Physician Assistant - Certified." To remain certified, PAs must complete 100 hours of continuing medical education every 2 years. Every 10 years, they must pass a recertification examination.

text: Friday, June 15, 2018 Collaborative Stop the Cap Efforts from APTA, AOTA, ASHA Receive National Award APTA has earned another national award—this time for collaborative efforts to push for an end to the Medicare outpatient therapy cap. The American Society of Association Executives (ASAE) announced that APTA, the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA), and the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) were the joint winners of a 2018 Power of A Gold Award for their combined "Stop the Cap" efforts. The work of the 3 associations was instrumental in a congressional decision to permanently end the flawed cap process. ASAE's Power of A (the A stands for "association") Awards, are the industry's highest honor, recognizing the association community's valuable contributions on local, national, and global levels. The award will be presented to APTA, AOTA, and ASHA at an ASAE awards dinner on October 3. As a Gold Award winner, the Stop the Cap program is 1 of 6 campaigns under consideration for ASAE's Summit Award, which will be announced later this summer. "This award underscores the importance and power of collaboration and coordination," said APTA CEO Justin Moore, PT, DPT, in an APTA news release. "For 2 decades our associations fought side-by-side for patients' rights to care and to tear down this arbitrary roadblock. And we did it. We stopped the cap. That accomplishment was only possible through teamwork. We appreciate this recognition and look forward to continued advocacy on behalf of the people we serve." The most recent ASAE award marks the fourth time APTA has been recognized by the association industry group in the past 2 years: in April, APTA's membership renewal efforts earned the association a Gold Circle award for an outstanding member retention campaign, and in 2017, ASAE recognized APTA's public service announcement video for its #ChoosePT campaign as the winner for best video of the year, as well as the entire #ChoosePT campaign as one of the nation's top public awareness campaigns. Comments It still amazes me that the APTA exec's believe they "stopped the cap." In reality, they sealed it in concrete to continue with limitations to beneficiaries and providers that will be difficult if not impossible to remove in the future. If grand-ma breaks her hip in the spring and requires extensive therapy to recover and then has a CVA later in the year shouldn't she be able to receive all the therapy that is indicated for her recovery? A revamping of the APTA interests needs serious consideration. Posted by David McLeary on 6/21/2018 8:57 AM David - not true. The hard cap on therapy services was eliminated. We won't ever have to go back to Congress on an annual basis to plead for a temporary patch or exception to the hard cap - its gone. All that is needed now is to use the KX modifier to denote medical necessity. So Grandma can get therapy for a broken hip and CVA in the same year.. Posted by Michael on 6/25/2018 5:58 PM

I often have people from Houston Texas and surrounding counties come in to see me, clutching a lawsuit that they were served with by a constable or process server. They seem surprised, that they can be sued for a credit card debt.
Yes, it does happen. And if you default on a number of credit cards, you could be served with several such lawsuits. Once you are served or handed the lawsuit and summons or citation, you only have a limited number of days to answer or respond to the suit, or a default judgment may be taken against you.
You can ignore the suit if you want, and let a judgment be taken against you, but I don't recommend it. With a judgment, a creditor can seize your bank account, and do other things like try to have a receiver appointed over you and/or your small business. If you try to ignore court orders, you could find yourself going to jail, not for not paying the debt, but for not obeying orders of a court.
That being said, some people are "judgment-proof" meaning that they have no assets that can be seized under that state's laws, and if the attorneys that are suing are not aggressive about collecting, they may never have to pay the judgment. But it is still an extremely derogatory item on your credit report, so I don't recommend just having an open judgment.
Of course you can fight the suit, particularly if the suit is brought by a "debt-buyer" or a company that buys Another option is to go to a legitimate credit counseling service such as Money Management International, but under those programs you typically have to repay 100% of your debt, which most people that come to see me, just can't do.
And once you are sued, forget about it, the plaintiff is not going to wait on one of those debt management plans to pay them. Another option is to settle the debt, but I wouldn't hire one of those debt settlement companies to help; many of them will just take your money and not do anything, or go bankrupt on you. Besides, once you are sued, they won't help you.
But it may be possible to settle your credit card collection lawsuit, particularly if you hire an attorney. But you have to have money, and to settle them without them taking a judgment against you, you have to have a lump sum, which most of my prospective clients just don't have. Besides, even if you can borrow the money to settle this one suit, if you have others come down the pike, what will you do then. You will have borrowed money from a friend or relative and then have to consider filing bankruptcy anyway.
Finally, bankruptcy may be an option for you. Either Chapter 7, which results in the complete cancellation or discharge of your dischargeable debts, or Chapter 13, where you pay part or all of the debt back over a period of time. In most cases, my clients report that they have a great deal of relief after the bankruptcy is over, and are glad they did it. If you are a resident of the Houston Texas metropolitan area, including Harris County, Fort Bend County, Montgomery County, Galveston County or Brazoria County, I'm happy to meet with you to review your options at no charge. Please call my main number at 713-772-8037 to make an appointment.

7 Ways to Pray for Translation and Linguistics Ministries [July Prayer Focus]
The ability to read the Truth in your own language is a powerful experience, but around 200 million people around the world don't have any Scripture in their native tongue. Further, many evangelistic materials are written in English or other widely-spoken languages, making them unusable for missionaries serving in remote areas with uncommon native tongues. Part of the Christian's calling is to take the Gospel "into all the world" (Mark 16:15). And part of this command means making sure all people groups can study the Truth for themselves. Because of this, many missionaries have dedicated their lives to translating the…Read More

The network science community has created a rich portfolio of network modelling and analysis techniques, which have become a cornerstone of data science. Most of these techniques build on simple graph abstractions, where nodes represent a system's elements and links represent dyadic interactions, relations, or dependencies between them. This simple formalism has proven useful to reason about the importance of nodes, the evolution and control of dynamical processes, as well as community or cluster structures in networked systems. However, they do not account for higher-order dependencies between nodes, which are present in many real complex systems.
HONS is the NetSci satellite for researchers that try to understand what we miss when we analyze graphs and network abstractions of complex systems. It focus is on cutting-edge higher-order network modelling techniques, which generalize network science techniques to models that account for higher-order dependencies in data on real systems. Continuing successful editions in Berkeley, Zaragoza, Seoul, and Indianapolis, and Paris, this year's edition will be held at NetSci 2019 in Burlington, Vermont, USA. The 2019 edition focuses on the challenge of learning and model selection, i.e. methods that allow us to select the "optimal" higher-order model to analyze a given system.
If you are interested to contribute a talk to the program, please get in touch with us. We look forward seeing you all again in beautiful Vermont in May!

A few weeks back we profiled a few upcoming titles from retro revival studio DotEmu after our meeting out at GDC 2011. One of the titles they had in the works that wasn't on our list is an iPhone port of the early '90s point-and-click puzzle adventure Gobliins 2: The Prince Buffoon [link], which launched in the App Store this morning, published by Bulkypix. Goblins 2 is the second title in Cocktel Vision's original four-part series to come to iOS, the first, Gobliiins [link], having arrived back in November.
Originally released for the Amiga and Atari ST, Gobliins 2 puts you in control of two different little goblins, each with his own set of abilities, on a quest across the colorful landscape to rescue poor Prince Buffoon.
The King's son, the Prince Buffoon, has been kidnapped by the evil Amoniak. What else is there to do but to call upon daring adventurers, ever ready to confront greatest evils in the name of honor and thus to save the Prince? Two talented gobliins volunteer to take of this grave task. FINGUS is a serious, polite and careful little fellow. WINKLE is an oddball and a joker, cheeky and reckless. They go seeking Tazaar's help in order to find the Prince. It is your job to help them on their way.
The game is divided into various sections, each containing a few different scenes. In order to move from scene to scene you must determine how to best interact certain marked items on the screen to solve that scene's puzzles. And, these puzzles are, for the most part, highly challenging. An example from very early in the game is the need to have one goblin steal a bottle of milk while the other goblin distracts the village onlookers by attempting to steal a sausage. In this example, timing is important, but it's not the case with every puzzle in the game.
The interface for Goblins 2 has been entirely reworked for the iPhone, and is an improvement over the control system of the earlier Gobliiins for iOS. You move an onscreen pointer about the screen, tapping on items to send your goblin over to interact with them. A button at the top of the screen switches focus from one goblin to the other, while a menu bar at the bottom offers access to your pack, as well as several levels of hints available for each scene. The whole thing just feels a bit more ideally adapted to the platform than the first release.
Gobliins 2 was well received when it was released back in the early '90s, in large part due to the witty scenarios presented and the amusing personalities of Fingus and Winkle. It's a humorous game with wild, colorful scenes and a jaunty audio track, but you'd do well to remember that it is a point-and-click adventure from decades past and, as such, lacks some of the flourishes we've come to see in such titles as they've evolved over the years. Certainly, for any fan of the original series, Goblins 2 is a no-brainer buy, but I'd doubt its appeal ends there.

What's going well?
In today's world most people only focus on the negative.
The "missing" pieces.
The "scary" stuff.
The stress-causing crap around us every day.
I just had to stop today and say, "Why is that?"
My belief is that 90% of that mindset comes from our mass media.
Mass media is all negative, especially the news.
Just stop watching that crap. They only put out the crap they do because it gets people watching.
Frank Kern once called it the "Rubberneck Effect."
People would MUCH rather watch car crashes than traffic flying down the highway successfully. The mass media knows this and manipulates your psychology so they can sell more ad space. I don't know about you, but that pisses me off.
I wholeheartedly do not believe this is "human nature" as many claim.
I believe its "human nurture."
Meaning, most of us are raised from birth in a small-thinking, scarcity mindset world.
That is all a lie but we buy into it because the "dark side" is so much easier to buy into.
The TRUTH is that the world has EXTREME abundance.
More than you can even wrap your mind around even at your most positive.
So let me ask you this:
What's working really well in your life?
Please let me know in the comments below.
Talk soon,
Matt "Abundance Thinking" Trainer
P.S. In case you are wondering, I have a LOT of things working really well in my life.
– I recently got engaged to the most incredible woman I've ever met
– My dog just responded really well to a brutal infection and surgery
– I'm launching the biggest project of my life over the next few weeks that's going to change Internet marketing in a huge way.
– I'm no longer living my life in depression and fear.
– My health is awesome!
– You are reading my emails! Thanks for that. I have immense gratitude for you.
Here's a positive video for you (ok its not THAT positive but you will laugh your ass off).

Forum Posters for Hire
There will be a day when forum posting is not only just fun for people, but also profitable. Profitable for both the forum posters and the forum owners who hire them. Paid forum posting is nothing new, but it just hasn't really caught on in a way that I think it will someday. Many forum posters are loyal to their own forums and simply post there because they enjoy the community and the level of quality that the forum draws. However, if these forum posters knew how much money their hard work was making the forum owners, they might think to themselves that they should be entitled to some of this money. Building constant unique content for a website is no easy task as any webmaster knows. It's tough to be both a technical guru and a prolific writer at the same time.
About the Author: Nate Brooks spends much of his day online stimulating discussions in forums. Visit Nate's forum posting exchange website Forumposters.org where you will find both forum owners and forum posters exchanging cash and hosting for posting.
