The classical and neoclassical schools of thought came into rise in the late seventeenth and eighteenth century following the enlightenment move that acted as a liberating force in the western world. The enlightenment thinkers came up with principles that acted as foundations for the American and French revolutions (Schmalleger, 2002).
The classical theory of criminology has its origin in the 18th century, a time in history when punishment for crime was severe and very intense. The philosophers of the classical school believed that people should be free to choose on how to act, secondly, avoidance is based upon the idea that human being is a hedonist who seeks delight and tries by all means to avoid pain and keeps weighing the consequences of his actions. The third assumption is that punishment can prevent people from committing crimes since the costs of crimes are more than its benefits. The fourth believe is that the more rapid is the punishment, the more effective it is in preventing people from committing the crimes that are associated with that particular punishment (Curran, & Renzetti, 2001).
The neo-classical view on crime was that since crime and recidivism (tendency to repeat the crime after the punishment) are thought to be a problem, the initial political reaction should be to increase policing, stiffen the penalties and increase the monitoring and supervision of those who have been from the punishment centers such as the prison. This is because the main reason was to prevent the commitment of crimes and that failed, what can be done to keep the society safe for a long time is to lock the criminals in prisons (Schmalleger, 2002).
How the concepts are applied in contemporary criminology
With their main idea being the use of punishment to deter people from committing crimes, this concept is also being applied in contemporary criminology. Different countries have adopted different methods of dealing with criminals. These methods include use of prisons and rehabilitation centers in order to help in correcting the behavior of these criminals (Berger, Free, & Searles, 2001).
For example, once one is caught committing a crime, he is charged in the courts of law and imprisoned. When one is in prison, he is denied of all the freedom that is required under normal circumstances. In some prisons, the criminals are beaten and subjected to harsh conditions as a means of punishing them for the crimes that have committed. This therefore prevents them from committing such a crime once one is set free. Another example is where punishment is given depending on the severity of the crime. Most of the justice systems have punishments ranging from small fines to death sentence depending on the severity of the crime (Reid, 1997). The contemporary justice system has adopted these theories to enable them understand human behavior and know how to deal with it.

The central point of view of classical criminology
The main point of view in the classical criminology was that since human beings are rational, they commit crimes knowing sin their efforts to search for pleasure or to avoid pain. Therefore the most effective method of preventing human beings from committing crimes is by punishing them.
This theory supports a social responsibility where the neoclassical say that to keep the society safe, the criminals must be locked in the prisons. It is therefore the social responsibility of the justice system to act on behalf of those who have been wronged and to protect the society by locking up the criminals in the prisons. However the main limitation of the classical thought of criminology is that it assumes that all criminals are rational. It dies not put into consideration the insane people who commit crimes and that may also not be aware when being subjected to punishment. Such people may repeat the crimes even after undergoing the punishment (Vito, Maahs, & Holmes, 2006).
Another limitation is on the idea of giving a punishment depending on the severity of the crimes committed. This may not help in ending the behavior completely since human beings, considering the fact that they area rational and seeking pleasure, will make choice between acts with heavy punishment and those with the light ones.

Last moments with my second family
After dancing together for about 9 years we finally decided to separate and concentrate on other things instead of dancing. Well it was probably one of the best choices in my life to dance with them. I got to travel around the world, around Lithuania every year, I also had a chance to dance in TV shows, contests and participate in various fashion events! It was so much fun! But everything has the end and our group also had. I'm sure, in the future we will meet up together many times, but still it wont change the past years we've spent together. These photos were taken in the farewell party which is always have been held in the end of the Spring. This was the last one we had.
What a lovely day
Mint color is back!
Yesterday the weather was so hot and good that we definitely had to go out to the city and then somewhere near the water of course. I want to believe that it's summer already, but damn those exams. Anyway for this hot Friday I decided to wear something that has a scent of summer and it happened that I grabbed my mint heels and my mint dress for a walk.
Moments from the first day in Palanga
So here is a promised second part of photos from my first day in Palanga. For the outfit details click here! And now enjoy some quick shots with a bunch of memories!

Trying to keep it simple
First day in Palanga: ootd
So after one year passed I had a great chance to visit one lovely place in Lithuania again. As weather got warmer a lot of people came to Palanga to relax or just simply have a great time.
Weather was definitely pleasant but that cold breeze... I just had to wear something warmer for my first day there. By warmer I mean pants, long/sleeve blouse and my fur coat if it's needed.
I have more photos than you think, I just decided to split this post into two parts. As one will be an ootd post, other just simply full of captures of moments from my first day.
Apkalbos 2014
Today I'm really happy to show you some photos that I have found in the internet.
Remember me telling about attending one fashion show? Well I haven't attended as a guest bus as a model this time! Darius Tarela did a great job in the backstage! I took these photos from him. There is also one photo from Deimante Dubauskaite! Thanks to her!
Now a little bit about how it all went. Well like always all models with no make up have been in Combo club since early morning. After we founded out who are our designers we went to the make up room where all the action was! The first collection didn't require any particular make up. It was natural like I wasn't wearing on my face anything at all. The second collection was a little bit more unique. I had literally a green face and black urban on my head with a ponytail.
Black and red shade
Lately it is really rainy in Lithuania so I thought Why not to pull out and wear my lovely beanie from Choies for today? Then I also decided to match together my tartan pattern trousers. It was my 'cozy spring look'. Hope you like it!
I noticed that lately I'm so busy with my school and after/school work so I haven't posted any ootd for a while so I guess I will have to work harder on that.
I have so much to tell you guys about the weekend that has just passed! I've attended in one fashion show which is quite popular in Lithuania so I'll have a lot of photos to show you! I have some plans for the coming weekend too. Well about that soon! Stay updated!
Tally Weijl New Collection
Finally I can publish these 'unseen' photos for you guys! You've already seen the magazine and the photos in it! In there you can see just a little so now I want to share some more photos from Tally Weijl new collection that can suit any festival girl!
Dressed by Kamile Bukauskaite
Make up by Ruta Juskunaite

Find us in Panele magazine
Today we finally received the new issue of Panele magazine! And you can find us in it. By us I mean me and my sister. We had a photoshoot of Tally Weijl new collection not too long ago, you can see backstage photos right there! And now the final article is published and I can't be more excited as I'm now! Wait for more photos on my blog!
Golden dress from Persunmall
Not too long ago I received an amazing dress from Persunmall! I was so excited to wear it for the first time! Um, sorry for the 'unhappy face'. It was really windy today, I kept fixing my hair all the time and it always ended up being on my face. Well, doesn't matter!

The Nashville Buddy Walk is a one mile walk taking place on Saturday, October 20, 2012 at Centennial Park. This is the first walk we will participate in. You're not familiar with the Buddy Walk? The Buddy Walk was started in 1995 by the Down Syndrome Society to celebrate Down syndrome awareness month in October and to help promote inclusion, awareness, and acceptance of people with Down syndrome. You know, people like Katie.
When I think about what I want for Katie, it is above all inclusion, awareness, and acceptance. We have been so incredibly fortunate to have an amazingly supportive group of friends and family. Katie is surrounded by people who have automatically accepted her and loved her unconditionally. We chose Katie because she has Down syndrome, and this Buddy Walk is such an incredible opportunity for us to support other friends like Katie. Obviously fundraising is fantastic, but more than that I would love to have a team of people who love Katie walking on our team, Katie's Crew.
The walk is one mile. Can't make the walk but would like to help support this fantastic cause? Please consider donating through our team page. I've set a very modest fundraising goal of $500. We raised almost $35,000 to bring Katie home - that's amazing! Remember Coins for Katie? We raised over $6,000 by people saving their spare change. Surely we can raise $500?!
Please join us either in person (which I would love!) or by donating what you can. As we saw with our Coins for Katie, literally every little bit helps.

Most health care reform efforts center on creating a single "medical home" as a means to provide efficient, high-quality care.
Analysts at PricewaterhouseCoopers say that the ideas about how to pay for health care involves using primary care doctors as the gateway to the system — proven by many studies as the way to provide the greatest value.
"Payment reform also focuses on primary care, early intervention, preventing those costly episodes," said Dr. David Levy, a health care analyst for PWC. "We also are going to see an increased focus on preventive services that don't bend the cost curve."
The focus on primary care doctors is going to converge around the patient as the center of the economic system, he said.
"Patients are going to demand the system be value driven," he said. "People with multiple, chronic conditions are going to see one person to coordinate all their care."
The shift to primary care will mean a change from treating chronic conditions using episodic acute care to a model of continuous care.
"Medicare enrollees with chronic conditions who have a single medical home show increased savings of $9 for every $1 spent," he said. "There's extreme pressure to make this happen, and it's hard to imagine that there wouldn't be a dash for this kind of coverage."
But the shortage of primary care doctors will have to be addressed for this kind of reform to be successful.
"The legislation provides $500 million for medical professionals, including $200 million for nurse training programs," Levy said. "And the Senate finance bill is focused on creating solutions to the nursing supply issue."
But just because medical schools are graduating more doctors and nursing schools are graduating more nurses — doesn't mean there is equal access.
"So the legislation is also going to focus on reimbursement incentives for doctors and medical professionals in rural areas," he said. "There will be a 10 percent extra fee for primary care doctors from Medicare."
And there will be a financial incentive to promote the use of technology to connect with patients — something the medical industry has not fully embraced.
"Fewer than 6 percent of doctors say they use e-mail to correspond with patients. And studies show that patients will embrace that type of virtual service," Levy said. "Just look at the immediate success of WebMd. There is a $2 billion investment into electronic health records and medicine, and it is going to pay off."
WebMD has 61 million visitors every day, providing information to people who want to learn more about their diagnosis and about their health. It's the type of technology that can both free doctors' time and save money.
Access to care is going to be solved in innovative ways — a combination of preventive measures, retail and worksite clinics, and using Internet and smart phone technology.
The market for telemedicine devices and services will generate $3.6 billion in annual revenue within five years, according to a study by Pike & Fischer. Both the need to control costs and advances in wireless broadband networks will fuel the growth.
"With respect to care models, we're going to see care given in new and different ways — we're going to see an un-jamming of the system through new partnerships, new technologies," Levy said. "There are going to be alternative ways to access care — the Internet, phone, online forms."

Harbours Of Norway sound library features 25 files with ambients recorded in Myre, Sto and Nyksund, very small towns with direct access to the sea. Most of the sound effects were recorded at night, but since it's a polar day time of the year, it was very pleasurable to walk and look for convenient places to set up my gear. Everything was recorded with an ORTF setup built from two Sennheisers MKH 8040.
Inside this library, you'll find a lot of seagulls, waves crushing on the rocks and plants, windy ambients from the cliff, industrial sound from port in Myre with ship unloading the cargo, walla with steam engine boats and additional sounds from the boat engine market, and air cooling aggregates from food containers.
Every file was recorded in 96kHz, edited (I removed any unintentional bumps, pops and unwanted sounds). I limited EQing to removing harsh frequencies, or enhancing a little bit the good sounding ones. At the end of the chain there is a small compression, for louder sounds.
There are no reviews yet!

Country Star Trace Adkins Releases Highly Anticipated New Album COWBOY'S BACK IN TOWN
Adkins' First Project for Show Dog – Universal Music
Arrives In Stores Tuesday, August 17
Deluxe Package Featuring Four Bonus Tracks Will Also Be Available Same Day
(Nashville, TN – June 28, 2010) — One of Nashville's most storied careers will take another step forward on August 17* as country star Trace Adkins releases the eagerly awaited Cowboy's Back In Town. The latest CD by the acclaimed singer, author, actor, commentator, and reality show star is the first for Show Dog – Universal Music, the new label headed by fellow superstar Toby Keith and producer Mark Wright.
The album is vintage Trace Adkins, with songs ranging from those celebrating love, like the tender "Still Love You," to those showcasing the rowdy side of country living, like the hilarious "Hold My Beer." Adkins is at the top of his game vocally, and the album shows him re-emerging as a top-flight songwriter, as he penned the title track, "Cowboy's Back In Town," with friends Jeff Bates and Kenny Beard, who co-produced along with Michael Knox (Jason Aldean). He is joined by special guests Trailer Choir, whose cool-as-a-breeze vocals add the perfect touch to "Don't Mind If I Don't," a song celebrating love as the perfect excuse to take it easy.
In addition to the traditional CD release, Cowboy's Back In Town is being released in a delux version featuring four additional tracks, offering Adkins' fans the opportunity to dig even deeper into his music.
The project's first single splits the difference between love and humor, with Adkins' classic tongue-in-cheek delivery on a song about what may or may not be a country boy's romantic declaration.
Adkins' debut on Show Dog – Universal grew out of his friendship with Toby and their highly successful collaboration on 2009′s "America's Toughest Tour." Both were enthusiastic about the chance to work together.
"There's an excitement surrounding this whole new chapter in our lives," says Adkins, "and it's reflected in the work I've done on this record. The musicians I brought together are long-time friends, and it doesn't get much better than that. I had a great time making it, I'm in a great spot creatively, and I think all that shows in the way it sounds."
Adkins has sold more than 10 million records, scored three #1 hits and 14 Top Tens, earned four Grammy nominations, and given us classics including "You're Gonna Miss This," "This Ain't No Thinkin' Thing," "Honky-Tonk Badonkadonk" and "Ladies Love Country Boys," to name a few.
In addition to headlining his own concerts, Adkins and Toby Keith are pairing up once again for the high-powered American Ride Tour that continues through September. For a complete listing of all Trace Adkins concert dates, visit www.traceadkins.com.

Weekend visit to Chester and Tatton Park, July 2006 Weekend visit to Chester and Tatton Park, July 2006
We set off at 8.30 a.m. on Friday 21st July – temperatures already well into the 70s – in the capable hands of our driver, Andy from Simonds Travel on our trip to Cheshire. Fearing a hot and sweaty journey, we were pleasantly surprised by the very efficient air-conditioning and made our first stop at the services somewhere in the Fens (the name of which now escapes me) but which serves huge slices of cake (enough to feed at least 2 or 3 people) and mugs of tea and coffee. The next leg of the journey was rather slow going due to roadworks, but we finally arrived in Buxton for a late lunch and a chance to look around. Then through beautiful countryside we continued to our hotel, Hollin Hall, near Kerridge arriving around 5 p.m. where a wedding party was in full flow. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, if rather hot, and we all met up in the conservatory dining room (thankfully air-conditioned) for dinner at 7.30. The food was good, and the service prompt and friendly, and we were able to continuing watching the progress of the wedding party from the window – so unexpected entertainment thrown in!
On Saturday morning (promising to be another scorcher but with the threat of thundery showers) we set off in our coach for the first drop off at the Tatton Park Flower Show, and the remainder of the party went on to spend a day in Chester. In the event, umbrellas were only needed briefly in Chester, and only at Tatton Park to keep the sun off. A rather tired but happy group arrived back at the hotel for dinner, with wedding no. 2 in progress (bets had been placed on the coach on the colour of the bridesmaids' dresses at this wedding – we were all wrong! They were almost the same dusty pink as the day before.)
A later start on Sunday morning gave us time to linger over breakfast (an excellent choice of cereals, fruit, croissants, waffles, muffins etc. plus a full cooked breakfast) before setting off on our travels through more stunning scenery to the Denby Pottery Visitors Centre. After lunch there, we set off on our journey back to Norwich.
All in all, a successful weekend trip – good hotel, good food, great Flower Show and visit to Chester and the Denby Pottery, and last but not least, good company.

Archeological Discoveries at Valley Forge
Atlas Obscura just reported on a striking discovery at Valley Forge. Specifically, on property next to Valley Forge National Park, when Daniel M. Sivilich (author of Musket Ball and Small Shot Identification, discussed here) was overseeing an archeology dig for the Battlefield Restoration & Archaeological Volunteer Organization (B.R.A.V.O.).
Quickly, one of the volunteers, who use metal detectors to locate artifacts and guide excavations, located a nine-pound cannonball hidden underneath a walking path. "He was so excited," says Sivilich. "But he was the man of the day for about five minutes." Bill Hermstedt, a long-time volunteer and charter member of BRAVO, also found something new—a bayonet. And then another. The signal from the detector told him that there was a lot more metal down there.The photo above was taken by Glen Gunther, and comes courtesy of B.R.A.V.O. and Atlas Obscura.
When archaeologists methodically opened the ground, they found a cache of 30 bayonets, stacked together—a remarkable find for a Revolutionary War encampment.

NBA: Mavs win 12th straight game
DALLAS (AP) – Dirk Nowitzki had 31 points and 15 rebounds, and the Dallas Mavericks extended their winning streak to 12 games with a 103-97 victory over the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.
The Mavericks rallied after wasting a 25-point first-half lead. DeShawn Stevenson added a season-high 17 points, going 5 of 7 from 3-point range, and Caron Butler had 16 points for Dallas.
The Mavericks put on a long-range shooting clinic, hitting 14 of 26 from beyond the arc to prevail in a matchup of Western Conference heavyweights.
Dallas-area native Deron Williams scored 19 of his 34 points in the first half and paced the Jazz, who had won nine of 11.
The Mavericks (19-4) are off to their best start since 2002-03 and own the NBA's longest current winning streak.
Celtics 93, Bobcats 62
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) – Ray Allen and Glen Davis scored 16 points apiece and Boston overcame a thin front line with smothering defense, cruising past listless Charlotte for its 10th straight victory.
Kevin Garnett had 13 points and 11 rebounds and got to sit out the fourth quarter as the Celtics weren't threatened after halftime.
Boston played its second straight game without Shaquille O'Neal, who rested his sore right calf. With Jermaine O'Neal (knee) still sidelined and Kendrick Perkins (knee surgery) out until February, rookie Semih Erden started at center.
It didn't matter, not with the Celtics allowing no more than 16 points in any quarter. The Bobcats shot 34 percent and committed 22 turnovers in an ugly effort.
Raptors 120, Pistons 116
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) – Jerryd Bayless matched a career high with 31 points and Toronto pulled off the biggest comeback in franchise history, beating Detroit.
Toronto overcame a 25-point second-half deficit to end a four-game losing streak. The victory was just the Raptors' third of the season on the road.
Andrea Bargnani added 22 points, including a pair of key 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, and Leandro Barbosa scored 20. Ben Wallace had a career-high 23 points and 14 rebounds, while Rodney Stuckey also scored 23.
Detroit led by 25 midway through the third period, then faltered on defense.
Bulls 113, Timberwolves 82
CHICAGO (AP) – Derrick Rose had 21 points and seven assists, leading Chicago over Minnesota for its season-best fifth straight victory.
The Bulls (14-8) are six games over .500 for the first time since finishing the 2006-07 season with a 49-33 record.
Rose set a career high with five 3-pointers and finished 8 for 10 from the field. It was the third time this season he has made four or more 3s. He made that many just once during his first two NBA seasons.
Luol Deng added 19 points and Carlos Boozer 17 for Chicago, which outrebounded Minnesota 53-36.
Kevin Love had 23 points and 15 rebounds to lead the Timberwolves. Grizzlies 84, Clippers 83
LOS ANGELES (AP) – Zach Randolph had 18 points and 13 rebounds, Marc Gasol added 17 points and Memphis held off Los Angeles when Baron Davis missed an 18-footer at the buzzer.
Randolph was 9 for 20 from the field against his former team after posting season highs of 34 points and 17 rebounds Wednesday in an overtime win at Phoenix. The Clippers held Grizzlies leading scorer Rudy Gay to 12 points – 9.6 below his average – on 5 for 12 shooting in 44 minutes.
Eric Gordon scored 25 points for the Clippers, who were coming off an 87-86 loss to the Lakers on Derek Fisher's driving layup at the buzzer. Blake Griffin had 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Los Angeles, off to an NBA-worst 5-19 start, committed a season-high 27 turnovers against a defense that came in having forced a league-leading 16.8 per game by its opponents.
Rockets 110, Cavaliers 95
HOUSTON (AP) – Kevin Martin scored 32 of his season-high 40 points in the first half, Luis Scola added 14 points and 14 rebounds and Houston handed Cleveland its seventh straight defeat.
Shane Battier scored 16 for the Rockets, who outrebounded the Cavaliers 48-34 and went 12 for 26 from 3-point range. Martin finished 12 for 19 from the field, sank three 3-pointers and hit 13 of 14 from the free throw line.
Antawn Jamison scored a season-high 24 points and Mo Williams added 18 points and nine assists for Cleveland. The Cavaliers' seven-game skid matches their longest since they dropped seven in a row from March 29 to April 9, 2004.
Hawks 97, Pacers 83
ATLANTA (AP) – Josh Smith took care of his sore hamstring and then took care of the Indiana Pacers, scoring 21 points to lead Atlanta.
Smith was treated for cramping in his right hamstring before the game and showed no sign of being limited against the Pacers. He had consecutive three-point plays late in the fourth quarter, each time after Indiana cut Atlanta's lead to seven points.
Jamal Crawford led the Hawks with 25 points. Al Horford finished two assists shy of a triple-double with 16 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists.
Crawford and Smith combined to make 18 of 21 free throws. Smith had seven rebounds and blocked two shots.
Mike Dunleavy had 16 points for Indiana.

March 16, 2016 — Jesuit High School in Portland, Oregon, has selected Thomas D. Arndorfer as its twelfth president. He will assume duties on July 1. The school's current president, John Gladstone, will retire after 11 years at Jesuit High School and a total of 49 years in Jesuit education.
"It is a tremendous honor and privilege to have the opportunity to serve as president of Jesuit High School, a community that has meant so much to my entire family and me. I am very grateful to be able to partner with the school's faculty, staff, administration, board of trustees, families, alumni and friends to fulfill Jesuit's mission in the years ahead," Arndorfer said.
Over the last seven years, Arndorfer has held several roles in the governance of Jesuit High, including serving as chair and vice-chair of the board of trustees, as well as chair of the finance, nominating and executive committees.
Arndorfer attended high school at Jesuit High School in Sacramento, California. After graduating from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in accounting, he worked as a certified public accountant for KPMG Peat Marwick in Chicago. He earned his MBA from Harvard Business School. After two years as an investment banker at Merrill Lynch, Arndorfer moved to Oregon to begin a 20-year career at Nike, Inc., where he served in senior leadership roles in finance, strategic planning and general management.
In the community, Arndorfer has served the Catholic Church through roles on the University of Portland's board of regents and the Catholic Relief Services' board of directors. He and his family are active members of Our Lady of the Lake Parish in Lake Oswego, Oregon.
"Among his many talents, he has deep roots in Jesuit education and is committed to Jesuit's Ignatian mission; he is an engaging leader who cares deeply about others, including the broader community," said Brian Maag, Jesuit High School board of trustees chair. "He has a proven track record of dynamic, ethical, collaborative, effective and strategic leadership. We are confident that he will build on the successes of our great presidents who have served before him."
Arndorfer and his wife, Julie, are parents to Katie, a member of the Jesuit High class of 2013, as well as current Jesuit High students John and David. [Source: Jesuit High School Portland]

Just west of Loch Lomond, on the hills overlooking Endrick Water, is the picturesque little country village of Drymen, where the hotel proudly stands. All the main roads through the Campsie Fells meet here and Drymen is an extremely popular visitor destination.
The village has a pretty little 18th century parish church and is the start of the Rob Roy Way, unofficial long distance footpath to Pitlochry, and the West Highland Way, reaching from Milngavie to Fort William.
Remarkably central, yet very much nestling in the stunning Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. Being less than 30 minutes drive from Glasgow makes it a superb city getaway and weekend break destination.
Read on now and appreciate just how superb a touring and sightseeing destination Drymen really is.


text: My friend on Long Island was repeatitly told he could do the cards himself, even cancelled the install visit. He was told to go to the local office. He even called the office and they said yes they had cards. Nope, went there and they looked at him like he had two heads. Cards had to be installed by their tech's with a truck roll. Good luck, and I hope it isn't another "Check is in the mail"

If you suspect a mold-related issue or an underlying moisture problem that could be contributing to mold growth, your first step should be to consider a mold inspection with mold testing. A trained and certified mold inspector in South Carolina will be able to identify the mold problem, determine the cause of the problem and prescribe an effective cleanup solution.
Through mold testing we will be able to determine if you have elevated indoor mold counts, how elevated and what species of mold is present. If you suspect indoor mold growth in your home, basement, attic, crawl space or commercial building, or if you are concerned about black mold or toxic mold, call Mastertech of Myrtle Beach today! 843-236-3399.
Our mold inspectors are fully trained, licensed and certified to perform mold inspections and mold testing throughout the Myrtle Beach SC area and parts of North Carolina. If you need a a professional mold inspection in Myrtle Beach SC, our trusted mold inspectors have the necessary skills, tools and knowledge to help.
First, our inspector will conduct a full visual inspection of the interior and exterior of the residential or commercial property to identify any conditions that could be contributing to mold development.
Thorough documentation is important for the both our inspector and our client. Detailed documentation will provide a clear reference for the findings. Digital imaging is the easiest way for your mold inspector to relay his or her findings. We'll take pictures of all the areas of concern so you see exactly what we saw during your mold inspection.
Damp or wet building materials are almost always cooler than dry materials. Our inspectors will use thermal imaging cameras (or infrared cameras) to detect temperature differences in (and often behind) building materials. With this information, your inspector will be able to map out moisture patterns and trace the moisture source.
Since mold needs moisture to develop and thrive, finding that source of moisture is very important. Moisture mapping with the use of moisture meters will allow us to trace all damp building materials to gain an understanding of moisture patterns. Testing for moisture also helps us determine if water leaks have been resolved or if they are actively leaking and can locate where water damage starts and stops.
Airborne Mold Testing
Your mold inspector may need to collect air samples to determine if your indoor mold spore levels are higher than they should be.
Is it just water staining, or is it mold? Surface testing with mold swabs or bio tape lifts will answer those questions. In many cases, surface testing isn't necessary if mold growth is visibly obvious.
When mold is suspected behind a wall or above a ceiling, those areas should be tested. Today's mold testing technologies and techniques allow mold inspectors to take air and surface samples from wall or ceiling voids without causing unnecessary damage to the property.
Your inspector will compile all of the findings, including all the information gathered on site and a detailed discussion of the mold testing lab report, to generate a clear, concise and easy to read report.
Upon request, your mold inspector will design a mold remediation plan specific to your property. Your scope of work will include cleanup suggestions as well as preventative measures that are necessary to keep mold from returning.
Also referred to as clearance testing. This is a mold inspection after the remediation is complete. Since we're removing a bio hazard, It's important to know that the job was done right – the first time. PRV Testing will determine if cleanup efforts were successful or if further cleanup is necessary.
Our inspectors at Mastertech Environmental are carefully trained and certified to conduct mold inspections and mold testing throughout South Carolina and parts of North Carolina. We take pride in our detailed and thorough approach. Each Mastertech mold inspector must undergo intensive technical and safety training to ensure the best services possible.
Georgetown County SC, Horry County SC, and Brunswick County NC

How To Spot When Someone Is In Hypnosis: The Little Known Hypnotic Trance Signals
By Covert Hypnotist | December 5, 2008
Photo by Look Into My Eyes
Recognizing the signals that happen around us everyday is important in itself. Accurate signal recognition is used to help us to see what is really happening around us and to realize the signals that tell us we are being successful in the things we do.
It is important to hone these signals in the field of hypnosis as well. If you are not attuned to the signals of trance then there is the possibility that you will be doing more work than you need to in order to alter the state of mind of the people around you. It is equally important to see things as they really are which will aid in your success of seeing the minor signals that light the way to trance
In hypnosis there are very obvious signs that a person is entering an altered state of mind and there are subtle less obvious signs too. The most obvious signs include changes in breathing, a smoothness of facial features, attention absorption, involuntary muscle movements, lack of mobility and increased passive responses.
In this article we will go over the less obvious signs that you are putting a person into trance. These are the signals that will be more difficult to spot and will require a more focused sense of accurate signal recognition.
Always remember when you are looking for signals of trance that you are not looking for one specific item, you are looking for changes from the normal state of the person you are currently dealing with.
The first trance signal we will discuss is the change in pupil dilation. Change in pupil dilation is the change in size of the black center of the eye. This signal is harder to see for several reasons. There are outside influences that can tamper with the accuracy of your judgment in this signal.
The first being that the subject's eyes may not be in your view, some people close their eyes when they are relaxed and others may be avoiding eye contact as they are feeling that they are in a vulnerable state. Another reason this is a more difficult signal to detect is the amount of observation it requires to see a change in something so small.
Changes in a person's pupils can also result from changes in light, for instance sunny days and darker rooms will cause the pupils to change their dilation. This is an unavoidable interference as it is just the nature of the way the eyes react to the lighting around them.
When a subject's pupils are reacting to hypnosis or an altered state of mind they will usually become larger.
Another little known trance signal that is difficult to spot is the pace of your subjects pulse. The heart rate of the person you are trying to put into trance will usually slow down as they are entering the altered state of mind. However this may also depend on the story you are telling or the mental pictures you are creating.
If you are using a relaxing set of suggestions the person's heart rate will usually slow down. If you are using an exciting, dangerous, or suspenseful story the heart rate of the subject may increase due to the feelings you are producing with in them.
No matter which way the heart rate goes, if it is changing you can begin to believe you have successfully helped your client into the beginnings of hypnosis. The question in your mind now is going to be, "How can I tell the heart rate of my subject without touching them to feel it?"
This is the reason that this trance signal is harder to spot than some others. You typically don't want to touch a person when they are totally relaxed and trusting you to guide them with conversation alone.
The only way to monitor their heart rate without physically touching them is to know where to look. There are specific areas on the body where the blood vessels are close to the surface under the skin. If you watch these areas closely you can usually see the heart beat of your subject. The best places to see this is at the side of the neck and across the ankle bone. Both of these areas generally have a visible heart rate.
Trance signal number three in the list of least obvious signs is to see a change in the blink reflex of your subject. This signal is easy to spot once you know it exists. The reason it is considered less obvious is simply because many people do not know about it.
The only reason you would have trouble monitoring this signal would be if you can not see your subject's eyes or they have closed them, which could be a signal in itself. If you can see your subject's eyes, however, you will be able to monitor how their blink reflex has changed from the way they normally blink.
Here you are looking for a rate of faster or slower blinking of the eyes. Some people stop blinking altogether, this is due to the eyelids becoming cataleptic. The eyelids simply become frozen for extended periods of time.
Similar to the blink reflex you will also want to watch for a change in the swallowing reflex of your subject. If there is a change here you can count it as a trance signal that the person is experiencing an altered state of mind. In this signal you are again looking for a slowing of the swallowing. Some subject's even stop swallowing altogether.
The swallowing reflex is again is easy to recognize once you are aware that it signifies the beginnings of a trance, you simply watch their throat to see signs of swallowing. In this trance signal you may also notice that the eyelids grow heavy or the eyes close completely.
Often your subject will grow sleepy as they enter trance but many people will not close their eyes as they find it embarrassing to feel as though they have fallen asleep in front of another person, especially if that person is speaking to them.
Little known trance signal number five is a change in the skin color or tone of your subject. As many people start to relax the blood vessels in their bodies change as well. This allows the blood within to flow more freely through the body and causes slight changes in skin color and tone.
Some people get darker and some people will grow paler, this simply depends on the person. Either effect is completely normal and is the result of a physiological change that is also very natural.
Finally the last little known trance signal number six it the change in voice. This signal can be hard to detect if your subject is not speaking. Many people will have slower speech or a slower rate of talking when they are in an altered state of mind.
Another aspect of the voice that can change when in trance is the tonality of voice. There is not set standard of whether this goes up or down, you just need to listen for a difference from normal tones. Some people who have entered trance will just stop talking altogether; again look for signals that are different from the normal state of the subject.
These signals are less obvious than other signals and signs of trance that we have talked about previously. Some are harder to see and some are just lesser known than the others. At any rate they are good identifiers that you have succeeded in altering the state of mind of the people or person you are with.
Watch for them closely and keep your sense tuned for these minute changes in your subjects. Remember that the sooner you can conclude that your subject is in trance the sooner you can move on to the next steps in your hypnosis.

The entire country nigh stopped late Monday night when news broke that the children had been found safe after days of continual updates on the support from every corner of the Kingdom to help with the search-and-rescue effort.
Hearts warmed as people watched with deep emotion the video showing the moment when the rescue divers finally discovered the team sitting on a rock shelf above the waters inside the cave.
Not lost in the moment was the candid conversation between the rescue team and the children as they answered that they were all safe and in relatively good health.
The children's light-heartedness on being found by the rescue team was a delight to hear, including the great question from Thais in English, "Where you come from?" Even more marvellous was the request from one of the children, "Tai roop gorn", simply "Take a photo".
Yet, even before this issue of The Phuket News hit the streets questions were being asked about the poor co-ordination among those joining the rescue effort. Likewise, serious doubts were voiced about the quality of information being relayed to the public during the continued search.
Those doubts lingered throughout Tuesday as unclear information about what strategy should be employed to get the children to safety became a matter of public debate.
All media coverage and the incredible level of interaction by people from all walks of life has highlighted just one point: that each person in the country had an emotional stake in the survival of the team and their coach. Their safe discovery felt like a collective victory that everyone could share.
The collective state of the nation focused on one single issue: safety and survival. And while the fate of just 13 quite rightly deserved the huge efforts to save their lives, amazingly so little is done and understood by the nation in preventing deaths on Thailand's roads - and as this week presented, in Phuket, the deplorable state of marine safety when it comes to tour bouts.
One bus crash alone in March this year killed 18 people, while the seven days during the New Year week of holidays at the start of the year killed 423 people - and at the time of posting this report, the boat disaster in Phuket killed more than 33 tourists in one fell swoop.
With a little more concerted effort, maybe - just maybe - we can start to save a few more of those lives that are about to be lost.

Four law graduates have been recognised for their work after picking up awards from regional firms during Teesside University's graduation ceremonies.
Four law graduates have been recognised for their work after picking up awards from regional firms during Teesside University's graduation ceremonies.
A number of law firms sponsor annual awards at Teesside University, offering cash prizes and work experience opportunities to high flying graduates.
Over 3,000 graduates recently celebrated their success during the annual academic award ceremonies.
And four students graduating from LLB (Hons) Law got their careers off to the perfect start by picking up additional awards during the week.
Lucinda Smart, 23, won the Toby Tilly Memorial Prize from the Endeavour Partnership, named in honour of former partner Toby who sadly passed away.
Nazia Aftab, from Endeavour, presented the award to Lucinda and said: 'Toby was a very talented and well respected solicitor. He would be very proud of Lucinda who has done exceptionally well in her studies. I am sure she will go on to enjoy a fantastic career.'
Lucinda said: 'It is overwhelming – I was not expecting to win the award but it is a really proud day.
'To receive an award in Toby's name gives me something to live up to as I plan my future. I will do the best I can to make him proud.'
Anna Aldred, 21, won the Outstanding Achievement Award from Freers Askew Bunting Solicitors and will gain one week's work experience with the firm. She said: 'I feel very proud and very emotional and I am looking forward to the future.
'Studying at Teesside University has been a life-changing experience which has enhanced my personal and professional skills in ways that I could not imagine.'
Director Rachel Dyson said: 'We have been working with Teesside University for a number of years but this is the first time we have offered a graduate prize.
'We were really impressed with the calibre of students and delighted to be able to help somebody who is extremely talented and at the start of what I am sure will be a successful career.'
Andrew Winn, 21, and Shannon Cranston, 22, received prizes from Watson Woodhouse and Macks Solicitors for Outstanding Contribution to Teesside Law Clinic and the Macks Solicitors Prize for Best Legal Research Project. Both received the opportunity to complete valuable work experience.
'I am hoping to eventually get into employment law so the work experience will be invaluable,' said Shannon.
'Teesside University has been a great experience, you get so much support from the staff and to graduate is a really proud feeling.'
Andrew, who is particularly interested in civil litigation and family law, added: 'I am really happy, but also relieved to have completed the degree. To win the prize is a proud achievement and I am sure the placement opportunity will be extremely useful.'
Anthony McCarthy, Macks Solicitors, said: 'It was a real honour to attend the graduation ceremonies and to meet the winners of our awards. It is clear that the graduates of the Teesside University law department are amongst the best and the brightest in the country and we are proud to be associated with them.'

Previsously on this blog, I've spoken about music 2.0 by Gerd Leonhard, and about his idea about the fact that in the future, access to music will be free, but we will pay for filter to access it.
I think he's right.
The evolution we've seen in musci business since 25 years is amazing.
Here's my own experience.
1 – The 80's.
I remember in the 80's when only a few computers were able to produce (bad) sounds that we called music.
At this point of time, I did not listen any music on PC, but all my music (I was so young…) was on vinyl disks or tapes.
Buy a new disk or tape was a big deal : need to decide, go to the shop. We used to buy small disks with 2 songs on it.
2 – The 90's
Then came the CDs, a first revolution :
- quality was very good (we called it "perfect")
- it became very easy to go from a song to another, no "rewind" needed !
- it was supposed to be "indestructible", especially compare to vinyls or tapes.
- it was possible t copy them with no loss, even if at the beginning it was very expensive to buy the blank disks.
Today I still have around 300 CDs, that I've bought in the last 20 years.
3 -And then internet…
When peer-to-peer networks became famous (kazaa, napster), I started to used them in the early 2000, to download a lot of music, especially some songs I'd never buy because music was too expensive, but were very famous.
It was amazing to see the speed for a download (even using the poor phone connection).
I started to buy music online in 2005.
Why buy when it's possible to just download it ?
Main reasons for me were :
- I do not like to stole (maybe old fashion.. but true)
- the music I can find on peer to peer networks is not always high qualitiy, and the mp3 tags are not always up to date. This is very important for me to be able to manage the music
- the price. At this point of time, in Europe, the price of a CD was about 20 Euros (30 usd), and online, the price was 9.9 Euros( 15USD)
- you get the music immediately : you hear something, you like it, you can buy it immediatly (I know you can also stole it, but i prefer to buy !)
The main problem I've with this downloaded music is the protection embebded.
I use wma files with DRM. I encounter time to time issues (for which I need to call the vendor).
Every time my PC crash … it's a new story to find again the licenses
Until now, I've bought around 500 songs (ie around 40 albums)
In the mean time, I still continue to buy CDs, when I found cheap ones (in fact I buy them if the price is lower than buying online).
When I buy a cd, the first thing I do is to put it in the PC to extract the mucic in mp3 format to have it available on all my devices.
Today , the situation is quite nice :
– all my music is on 1 PCs in a nice library, well organized.
– from this PC I can update all my mp3 devices
– I keep the CD, but seldom access them (only to play them on my old CD machine).
Finally, I started to used the new online music systems : deezer, and now spotify.
I really love spotifiy. Now I use it to listen music at home.
I like to be able to find a lot of different music, and to have it available for free, immediately, even if it s only streaming.
So, what is next ?
For me, system like spotify is perfect, but I need few enhancements to only use it :
- to be able to "download" the music I like on some mp3 devices to be able to listen to them not connected to the internet.
- to have a better management of my library (not just simple playlist).
- to imporve the social part of it : having my friend using it and sharing new songs / artists we discover
To be followed….

This poster was one of two designs made by German artist Martin Kippenberger to accompany his exhibition of the same name, held at the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in the summer of 1993 (see also Candidature for a Retrospective 1993, Tate P79161).
Though prolific as a painter, sculptor, musician and writer, the 178 posters created by Kippenberger throughout his career form a significant body of work. Normally created as screen prints or lithographs in standard advertisement sizes, they were used to promote a wide variety of events from art exhibitions to upcoming parties. From 1986 Kippenberger began to group his posters into folios, though these were united more by date than by similarity of style or function. This work, however, was never included in such a folio.
Kippenberger's posters belong to the mass of apparently supplementary material produced by the artist throughout his career that parallels his work in painting, sculpture, installation and performance. However, like his books, pamphlets and literary and musical projects, the posters share with his more conventional artworks the desire to undermine the accepted structures of the art world by defying attempts to understand his artistic output as a whole, by blatantly embracing collaboration, and by actively involving himself in the promotion and reception of his work. As the artist Jutta Koether wrote on the occasion of the 2006 Kippenberger exhibition at Tate Modern:
Martin's posters best represent him and sum up the range of his ability: the humour, the social critique, the clever combination of provocative images and allusions. They were critical and politicised, perfectly expressing his ideas and his personality.
(Jutta Koether in Tate Etc., no.6, Spring 2006, p.36.)
The exhibition Candidature for a Retrospective constituted a critique of how artists are traditionally valued and how their works are categorised. The show was curated together with artist Roberto Ohrt, who described it as follows:
The show occupied three halls. The first section was Paris, connected to his personal history when he was living there in the early 1980s. The second was about the deconstruction of painting, which included his painting series Invention of a Joke – nine canvases that you couldn't piece together. The third was Martin's collection of erotica that consisted of works by friends. Running through all three rooms was this large display cabinet packed with all of his books and printed material. The case went through one of the walls and really formed the spine of the show. The mass of material on display was confusing, and purposefully so. He did everything he could to divert, confuse and make it difficult to decode his work. This was part of the joke.
(Roberto Ohrt in Tate Etc., no.6, Spring 2006, p.34.)

dave, I'm suprised you can't see the jealousy through the computer. I body surfed a little of that swell but have been too busy to source the materials to shape a board as of yet. Good news is that when I'm back in the US I might be able to produce a reggae show to cover my expenses to hit Puerto Rico Mid-May (I pulled the same thing off last year)! I don't know if you will be around after August 1st but we should meet up and catch some dawn patrol.

Hey Dave - Man did you go back to the U.K for good? Maybe I should look back through the threads. We had some great swell this week - my body surfing is reaching new hights - I can now go down the line and make a bottom turn up over the top - how depressing! Though I did discover a couple great new point breaks that look like they will be sheltered during the monsoon. I leave for the U.S on Thursday and will be back here August 1. Catch up with ya later.

Not long to go and I'm being made to wait for it! The days are getting slower and slower, dragging their heels through the pain of a wet English spring day.

The sky outside is grey; the roof tiles are grey; the road should be black, but the puddles reflect the sky and so they are grey; my colleagues are wearing every variation of grey - there's Jon's shirt - grey with a thin blue stripe; Laura's tight v neck, long sleeve, figure hugging shirt - dark, muddy, grey;

there's Paul's suit jacket hanging off his chair - light grey, with grey stripes, and grey button's; Hao's shoes are smiling at me - grey laces; Sam is gliding around the office, with her locks of red hair bobbing of her shoulder - her grey skirt, with specks of red and gold, rising suggestively up her thigh as she sits down at her computer.

Everyone is sat on dark grey office desks, at light grey computers, with charcoal grey telephones, and silver-grey notepads, and purplish-grey screens dividing our attentions.

The energy draw of smartphones and tablets are dwarfing what we traditionally think of as energy hogs in the home, according to a new study. And all those data centers, wireless base stations, and wired networks are largely powered by coal. IEEE Spectrum reports.
A phone -- and other information-communications technologies (ICT) -- plugged into the wall draws a negligible amount of energy. But:
Add in the amount of electricity it takes to move data across networks to deliver a total of, say, an hour of video to your smart phone or tablet each week, and over a year it adds up to more power than two new Energy Star refrigerators consume in a year.
And while electronics are becoming more and more efficient, their efficiency doesn't offset their explosion around the world.
Some highlights:
- The global ICT ecosystem uses about 1500 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, which is equal to the electricity used by Japan and Germany combined. That figure will increase as cloud architecture overtakes wired networks.
- This growth is also driven by "revolutions in everything from healthcare to cars, and from factories to farms."
- A 50-megawatt enterprise data center in Iowa that gets 70 percent of its energy from coal and 25 percent from wind will cost $350 million less to run over its lifetime compared with one in California, with no coal in its energy mix.
- However, environmental regulations could eliminate the favored position coal enjoys because of its low cost. For instance, U.S. President Barack Obama has called for existing coal-fired power plants to meet more stringent greenhouse gas emissions standards.
- In India (the second largest mobile market after China), 75 percent of rural and 33 percent of urban cellphone base stations will need to run on alternative energy by 2020.
Some work is already underway. By 2015, the GreenTouch Consortium plans to make ICT networks 1000 times as efficient as those that were in operation in 2010.
The study [pdf] was sponsored by the U.S. National Mining Association and the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.

Turns out other countries just like having an American leader they can push around:
G-20 refuses to back US push on China's currency (AP)
Leaders of 20 major economies on Friday refused to back a U.S. push to make China boost its currency's value, keeping alive a dispute that raises fears of a global trade war...The G-20's failure to adopt the U.S. stand has underlined Washington's reduced influence on the international stage, especially on economic matters. In another setback, Obama also failed to conclude a free trade agreement this week with South Korea.
Here's where the scary gets funny:
Obama made a case that he had a stronger hand on the world stage, despite his failure to push through a tougher stance on China's currency...He contended he has now developed genuine friendships with leaders including Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and South Korean President Lee Myung Bak — and even China's Hu.
I never thought I'd hear "Yeah, she dumped me, but I came out ahead because I still have her phone number" from the leader of the free world.
Even The New York Times is heckling Obama's international impotence.
Obama's economic view is rejected on world stage (New York Times)
After five largely harmonious meetings in the past two years to deal with the most severe downturn since the Depression, major disputes broke out between Washington and China, Britain, Germany, and Brazil.
Each rejected core elements of Obama's strategy of stimulating growth before focusing on deficit reduction. Several major nations continued to accuse the Federal Reserve of deliberately devaluing the dollar last week in an effort to put the costs of America's competitive troubles on trading partners, rather than taking politically tough measures to rein in spending at home.
The result was that Obama repeatedly found himself on the defensive. He and the South Korean president, Lee Myung Bak, had vowed to complete the trade pact by the time they met here; while Obama insisted that it would be resolved "in a matter of weeks,'' without the pressure of a summit meeting it was unclear how the hurdles on nontariff barriers to US cars and beef would be resolved...
...The disputes were not limited to America's foreign partners. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner got into a trans-Pacific argument with one of his former mentors, Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the Federal Reserve, after Greenspan wrote that the United States was "pursuing a policy of currency weakening.'' Geithner shot back on CNBC that while he had "enormous respect'' for Greenspan, "that's not an accurate description of either the Fed's policies or our policies.''
Much of the rest of the world seemed to share Greenspan's assessment. Moreover, Obama seemed to be losing the broader debate over austerity. The president has insisted that at a moment of weak private demand, the best way to spur economic growth is to have the government prime the pump with cheap credit and government stimulus programs. He quickly found himself in an argument with Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain and Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany.
