Videos are the preferred method of gaining knowledge and sharing information in the medical world.
ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. (PRWEB) December 07, 2017
MedTech Momentum, Inc. (http://www.MedTechMomentum.com) a full-service Medical Marketing Agency, with a unique expertise in emotional branding and inbound marketing, announced today that it has launched a new Video Production Studio, dedicated to serving the needs of Medical Companies in the US and around the world, looking for high-quality video content.
The MedTech Momentum Video Production Studio covers the whole range of videos, from clips to long-form features, including corporate videos, sales or scientific events, content videos series, case studies, testimonials, training videos, social media campaign videos, explainer videos, product videos and more.
"Medical Device companies already know that to scale and succeed, they need to deploy a marketing strategy that educates and informs their audience with an emotional touch; nothing does that better than Video Marketing", said Guillaume Viallaneix, MedTech Momentum, Founder and President. "With the online and social media revolution, sustainable success is not about pitching "features & benefits" over and over; it is about nurturing your audience with a marketing engine fueled by helpful content across the full marketing spectrum. This is what Video Marketing is about… this is why we created the MedTech Momentum Studio. Our goal is not just to produce high-quality videos, it is to ensure that they will be used strategically to achieve our client's business objectives."
People love videos! In 2017, they have become the preferred method of gaining knowledge and sharing information in the medical world. The numbers speak for themselves - YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world behind Google, with over 30 million visitors per day; videos are shared 1,200 more times than links and text post combined; and integrating videos into email marketing campaigns increases the click-through rates by 96%.
"Up to now, medical companies had very limited options in terms of videos," said Douglas Loran, Director of the Video Production Studio at MedTech Momentum. "They either worked with low-cost, but amateurish, local production companies, or cost-prohibitive national studios – in both cases, production houses with limited or no understanding of the intricacies of the medical world. Our production studio solves those problems! MedTech Momentum comes with over 20 years MedTech Industry expertise; I personally have over 15 years of experience working with MedTech companies, hospitals and surgeons. I also would like to add that our video production team is made up of seasoned professionals with over 30 years of combined experience in all aspects of video production. Equipped with up to 1 million dollars of cutting-edge video equipment, and prices that are the most competitive in the market place today - we simply have the best value proposition in the MedTech space."
We invite you to contact us for a free consultation about your video marketing needs. Click here to set up a meeting.

Product Reviews

I WAS HESITANT TO ORDER ON LINE, BUT EVERYTHING TURNED OUT PERFECT. I received so many compliments! I paid the extra for a custom fit and it was well worth it. The dress was very flattering. The quality was excellent. It arrived sooner than I expected. After I removed it from the box, there were no wrinkles. I ordered the dress to renew our wedding vows and celebrate my husband's birthday. I would not hesitate to order another dress from JJ's House!

The dress looks even better in person. I had it custom made and it fit to a tee!! That was certainly way better than having to pay a small fortune to get it altered. I really like the fact that it has a built-in bra. They got the dress to me even before the scheduled time. It was a great experience!! Thanks JJ House.

Love this dress. Beautiful dress. Shipped quickly & packed nicely. Got a lot of compliments. Will order again.

This dress is just stunning! The craftsmanship is outstanding! The color is just what I expected and the sequins are very subtle, but elegant. Thanks for a great product, and super delivery in the time promised!

This dress is beautiful. Unlike the first dress I ordered, this didn't disappoint and as pictured. I am excited to wear it for the wedding of my niece . Just be careful when ordering because if you order wrong, it's too expensive to return since goods are made in China. I will order again from JJ House. They are reliable and fast.

I had this dress made custom fit after a previous dress disaster. It was perfect. I was looking for something modest but not too much mother of the bride and it turned out to be the best dress decision I could have made. Even better I was the only one in the room (of 500 people) to have a dress anything like this. I wasn't crazy about the bead work when it came in (I'm not a fan of bead work in general - there was nothing wrong with the quality or pattern) so I carefully removed the beads myself. I think if you are having custom sizing done you could probably request they leave them off if it's not your thing either.
Seriously loved this dress and I got so many compliments on the dress and the color.

Very happy with my dress. I have never bought a dress online before and was a bit nervous. The fabric is lovely, the fit perfect.
Thank you very much.

I ordered this dress for a wedding. Everybody complimented me on the dress. My only discomfort was on my arm sleeves. It was a little tight. I did not know I could put the measurement of my armhole as extra instructions. I love the dress though. Also It comes with instructions of do not dry-clean or wash, so I don't know how to clean this for reuse.

I was so excited when I got home and saw my dress was here. I was on a time crunch and they got it to me VERY FAST. Less time than what I was expecting. I had sent in my measurements, and it is PERFECT. The dress is beautiful, mush better than I would have found at some store. Thank you so much for such a BEAUTIFUL dress.

Vegan pizza with peppers, mushrooms and onions;
Kidney bean, chickpea & balsamico salad;
and some plain lettuce.
So lucky to have vegan options on my meal plan! 🙂
Also, I just told the staff at our kitchen that I am vegan (which I am not entirely yet). This means that from now on, I will eat only vegan meals at our cafeteria. Also, it means that there are now 3 vegans in our cooperative, so hopefully they will start incorporating vegan desserts as well.
To give them credit, a lot of the vegetarian meals are vegan as well. While I was registered as 'vegetarian', I tried to pick only the meals that "seemed" vegan – but now I can be sure. I was hesitating to do this step for a while since it meant I wouldn't take any muffins or cake anymore since technically I wasn't calculated in for it. But today was the day. Feels so good to have done it now. SCORE!
Do you ever hesitate to tell others about your dietary choices like I did?

Great Tips About Leadership That Anyone Can Use
It is important to select your educational resources very carefully if you are trying to improve your leadership skills. This article can give you some tips so you are able to be the great leader you have to be. You should have a much better idea of how to become a leader after reading the following article.
Don't assume that your staff can read your mind. Clearly communicate expectations if you want tasks to be carried out correctly. Maintain and open-door policy. If they don't understand the instructions you give, they don't need to hesitate about coming to you for help.
Good leaders inspire creativity. When you're using creative thinking and taking risks, you can have a greater outcome. Always be curious and explore new possibilities. New ideas should never be frowned upon. Allow others to have some say within the big picture.
Honesty is probably the most important leadership quality to have. Effective leaders are trustworthy. When you work on your leadership skills, try to set a standard of trustworthiness and honesty. Once people know you are reliable and trustworthy, they will have a higher level of respect for you.
Recognizing talent is important as a leader. When you seek others to assist in your business efforts, it should start becoming clear which folks can help the most. This is also good when you want to hire someone.
Listening to your team is one of the more important skills to have as a leader. Employees can take goals and ideas and expand on them in ways you might not have considered. After you are certain they have heard your goals, listen to their responses. These may be future leaders of tomorrow.
Don't become obsessive with winning. With the current technology available, you can create stats, goals, and spreadsheets. Managers do this so they can keep track of the team's progress. As you're doing this, however, be sure you're focused on an overall culture of team success. Do you know what it takes?
Become an effective writer. Your personality is vital to good leadership, but there is more to it than that. It has to do with how good you are with words. If your writing is sloppy and filled with misspellings and bad grammar, it won't be easy for your partners or employees to think of you seriously. Take note of this, and pay attention to what and how you write.
Your leadership skills can assist you in structuring a great team that is productive together. Be a team member yourself: talk with your colleagues and respond to them honestly about issues they may have. Your employees should be able to handle their day-to-day positions without too much interference from you.
You need to be sure that you pay attention to the great leadership qualities of other people. There are plenty of different leadership styles, and you can mix and match the techniques that best fit your needs. Keep all of this knowledge in mind to become the best leader possible.…

Hi Guys,
this is my 1st project post, so please feel free to critique how I have laid out the story of this project.
Three years ago I did a partial loft conversion and kept the off-cuts from the collar ties with the intention of "making something" at a later date.
Since recently joining Lumberjocks, I have renovated my workshop and finally "made something" with the timber from my loft.
I always felt as I was re-cycling the wood it was appropriate that it should go full circle and return to the loft; as a pair of Bedside Tables.
Taking into account the materials I had at my disposal the dimensions were as follows,
Height 575mm x Width 365mm x Depth 365mm.
The wood used was Scots Pine and was well seasoned.
As I had not made a piece of furniture for 7 yrs. I made a conscious decision to stick to traditional methods of construction, as I felt this was an opportunity to get re-acquainted with some hand tools.
All of the main joints are mortise and tenon, apart from the top-rail into the leg which is dovetailed.
This is a pic of the turn-buttons I used to attach top to frame.
After the initial machining I decided to stain the wood as I did not want a new Pine look.
I applied 2 coats of walnut stain, 2 coats of Satin Poly Varnish, and finally 2 coats of furniture wax to give a more aged look, and also because I love the smell of wax.
The chamfered mouldings you see on the sides (outside) act as a runner-kicker system on the inside for the drawers.
The only component not made from my "LOFT" wood are the drawer handles.
These are shaped from some Walnut I had available.
There were some scary knots to contend with and I made up a paste of some Walnut-dust mixed with 2-pack epoxy resin.
This seemed to act as a stop and an excellent dark filler, time will tell.
Thank you for taking the time to have a look, and I would be grateful for any feedback/questions on any of the aspects of my 1st Lumberjocks build.

Joinery must have been time consuming. That table will last for centuries with those joints. Good work.

Today, on the 47th anniversary of Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King's famous speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, there are many who want to wrap themselves in the aura of a struggle for justice that has been blessed by history.
Since we have short memories and the truth is not always comfortable, it's important to remember that Doctor King was not murdered for having a dream. He confronted and provoked the powerful and goaded the consciences of many who would gladly have stopped at the gradual advance of racial justice in our own country, and rested on that. Doctor King was fiercely criticized for his stand against the Vietnam War and the politics behind that war.
Before we tie another yellow ribbon, and have another picnic to honor our troops, we should read his speech, 'Beyond Vietnam–A Time to Break Silence'. Here is Doctor King on 'the troops'…
A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.
Compare and contrast. How do we restore America's honor? By seeking some standard of political and religious 'purity' that makes enemies of our fellow Americans and chases around the world to defeat an enemy that has no uniforms or borders? An enemy that is not a nation, but an idea?
Or do we restore honor by ending the hopeless foreign wars that entangle us? By restraining our corporations from playing robber-baron here and abroad? By working for justice so that our troops will come home to a country that values its citizens? By restoring our safety net so that there will be no more homeless veterans?
Doctor King said in a speech that he had a dream, but in his life's work he was wide awake, too awake for comfort and hated by many. He was considered a threat to the white race, and after many attempts on his life a white man succeeded in taking him away.
Now others claim to speak for him, but his words remain. Compare and contrast.

Denmark's Jewel in the Crown
It was afternoon. In Copenhagen. A charming, too-handsome-for-words mutual acquaintance relayed the news that Denmark had been crowned the richest country in the EU. I couldn't vouch for this, but its capital appeared to be the most sustainable of all the conscientiously green cities I'd visited in northern Europe. Of course I wasn't travelling all the way from America to Scandinavia for wind farms, organic elderberry juice, or even the first-time thrill of ordering drinks at an honest-to-God Ice Bar.
I came nearly 4000 miles to visit the Louisiana, Denmark's jewel of an art museum located about a half hour north of the capital. After a comfortable train ride from Copenhagen's central station, I ambled through the quiet, verdant (but rainy--bring umbrellas...) village of Humlebaek to reach my destination. What a spot! Suddenly, one or two low-slung buildings appeared, meandering across acres of lush green landscape in a glorious sculpture park overlooking breathtaking views of Oresund Sound and the distant Swedish coastline. This is the very site Wal-Mart heiress Alice Walton and architect Moshe Safdie explored while planning her new Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art which, much like its Louisiana inspiration, rambles today through meadows and forested areas of the Ozarks in Arkansas.
Where the curious appellation Louisiana comes from, it turns out, has nothing to do with America's proud and beleaguered southern state, or indeed anything at all to do with US matters across the Atlantic. The museum's name is inherited from the first owner of the property, Alexander Brut, who decided to name his villa in honor of his three wives--all of whom happened to be named Louise!
The museum itself was created in 1958 by its founder and first director Knud N. Jensen, who hired architects Vilhelm Vohlert and Jorgen Bo to complete the first three buildings that were connected by a series of covered glass corridors.
Today, as I weave my way through these same sleek corridors I see clumps of weary pilgrims nearing what I imagine as a last lap of summer's grueling art-fair circuit. I spot a more cheery sight--a tall, happy-looking family in hiking gear clustered around a museum diagram. I decide to introduce myself and tag along as we make our way from the South Wing to the East Wing via part of the Underground Graphics Wing, until pausing above ground in a sudden burst of luxurious sunlight that flooded the Sculpture Park. The happy hikers and I have been full of good cheer and grateful for our many meditative moments during the nearly two hours we've spent together exploring PINK CAVIAR, the museum's impressive presentation of more than 180 new acquisitions and donations to the collection.
Over fifty artists from around the world are represented here with works in all the genres--sculpture, painting, installation, photography and video. Here are some personal favorites.
Video leads off with New York painter, photographer Marilyn Minter, who toiled for decades as an outspoken feminist/activist provocateur before becoming today's You Rock art sensation. She has noted in interviews that much of her work deals with the "hunger and insatiability" of contemporary culture and to that end her now-famous HD video Green Pink Caviar has become emblematic. Here is a hypnotic eight-minute study of eroticism (or carnality, take your pick) with a luscious-lipped model licking and swirling her tongue over a pane of glass the artist has smeared with sparkling, candy-colored goo. The entire scene is filmed from underneath the glass. Minter's pointed critiques of fashion and glamour succeed in making viewers squirm at the same time they're being seduced, over and over again.
Erwin Wurm, (modified R25 Renault). Courtesy of Louisiana Miuseum of Modern Art.
Sculpture/installation is well represented in the show with two standouts, Austria's Erwin Wurm and Shilpa Gupta from India. (It must be noted that many of the superb en plein air Henry Moore sculptures, a classic Dubuffet behind the cafeteria and one of Richard Serra's sublime rusted iron works, wedged into a leafy ravine, though not part of the Pink Caviar collection, are all works not to be missed.) First up is conceptual prankster Erwin Wurm, who always surprises and often perplexes me with his sly, absurdist pieces. The wickedly skewed blue Renault on view which he fabricated in 2009-2010 must be the anorexic flip side of his bloated, tragicomic "fat sculptures" such as Fat House, Fat Car. Haven't we been squeezed? he seems to be asking. Are we not lost today in a global depression and feeling pretty twisted ourselves? I have the mad urge to try and contort myself into a pretzel, wedge myself behind the wheel of his Renault and drive right out of the gallery.
After lunch I come upon Shilpa Gupta's sculptural piece Singing Cloud to see that this work was already establishing itself as a hands-down museum favorite. There looked to be a parade of adults along with throngs of children huddled around (and beneath) the artist's hanging mass of 4000 black microphones that had turned into speakers. At first, as I stood amidst the bizarre sounds emanating from its 48-channel audio, it felt like a giddy, we are the world experience, perhaps suggesting a standard for our multicultural age. But the message I heard repeated, "I want to fly high above the sky," felt a bit mysterious and disconcerting. Gupta comes from Mumbai--a female artist working in a country with a population topping 1.22 billion. I learned that for twenty years she has been exploring questions critical to an evolving India in our age of massive global change--matters of identity, diversity, of navigating borders. Her insistent notions about free will and connectivity have frequently become the underlying messages of her interactive art. These days Gupta's work can be seen in major exhibitions around the world and it appears that she will continue to keep on asking the big questions. I scribbled in my notebook, "New favorite! Find out more!"
In 1981 American photographer Francesca Woodman took her own life by jumping off a building in Lower Manhattan at the age of twenty-three. From the start, she displayed confidence as an artist, full of bravura as she put her own body on display as the central subject of her work. For years, a cult-like fetishistic admiration of Woodman grew. Now, thirty years later, full-blown exhibitions of her intense black-and-white photographs are being praised all over again. The Louisiana Museum adds Woodman to the roster with striking results. Her body would often appear sylphlike and half-hidden in abandoned, often derelict interiors--her figure emerging from a piece of peeling wallpaper, for example. Woodman never saw herself as a feminist but used her body as a device to set up the often creepy, Surrealistic scenes she had in mind. (Man Ray and Hans Bellmer would be proud.)
Her father, artist George Woodman, declared in a recent documentary "The Woodmans," that his daughter had taken the "psychic risk of being an artist."
Now there's an understatement.
I have saved the best/worst/most horrifyingly impressive work for last.
Edward Kienholz, Five Car Stud (1969–72), Mixed media installation. Courtesy of Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
Edward Kienholz's Five Car Stud (1966-72) is displayed in a dark space lit by the headlights of four cars and a pickup truck encircling a life-size tableau spread out before you. I'm not sure anyone is prepared for this as you walk down a steep ramp. Like a punch in the stomach. I overheard one father tell his approximately ten-year-old son before we entered, "Oh, this is the scene of a car accident." I wondered how that boy interpreted such a graphic display of racial violence. A group of white vigilantes wearing grotesque clown masks are holding down a black man in order to castrate him for drinking with a white woman in his truck. Get closer and you see that the victim's torso lies on the ground in the form of a pan of used oil with letters floating around, eventually spelling N-I-G-G-E-R. The original Five Car Stud was seen only once, at Germany's Documenta V in 1972. Before its recent presentation (jointly organized by the Louisiana Museum) earlier this year in Los Angeles at LACMA, it had been in storage in Japan for almost forty years and had never before been shown in the United States. Kienholz was showing us a shameful part of American history whose traces we're still discovering today in a US election year.
The Louisiana Museum of Modern Art is quite an extraordinary experience. A true jewel in Denmark's crown. And a 4,000 mile journey I'd gladly repeat any time.

What happens if my job is transferred to a private contractor?
If your job is transferred to a private contractor, the contractor will normally be required to provide you with continued access to the LGPS or to offer you a pension scheme that is broadly equivalent to the LGPS.
The contractor may become an admission body [1] in the LGPS and this would allow you to stay in the LGPS so long as you continue working on the delivery of the contracted out service. If the contractor becomes an admission body your LGPS benefits prior to the transfer of your job to the contractor can be joined with your post transfer pension account.
Alternatively, the contractor may be able to offer you a broadly comparable scheme. This does not mean that the new scheme must mirror the benefits of the LGPS, but the value of the package offered by the new scheme must be broadly equivalent to the LGPS.
If you are offered a broadly comparable scheme you would have the same options available to you regarding your accrued LGPS benefits as anyone else leaving the LGPS before retirement.

Malta Accountants & Auditors (CPA)With over 25 years of experience in the finance sector, NM Group has carried out auditing services to a variety of companies and businesses in several industries and sectors.
External AuditsWe offer external auditing services in collaboration with our long-standing business partners Silvio Muscat & Co, and in-house auditor, Beppe Muscat.
Statutory External Audits - External audits are required to ensure that a company's financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position and performance of the entity. Whilst required by law, this is also value adding as an audit will likely also uncover weaknesses in company's internal controls and/or its accounting practices.
Other Assurance and Review Engagements - We have also been involved in other engagements, non-statutory by nature. Such reviews can also be undertaken voluntarily in order to obtain an opinion on the basis of work performed by an independent third party, to provide company shareholders with assurance over the financial results, to facilitate the sale of a business, to provide assurance to the tax authorities and those financing the business such as banks. Other such engagements include determining the reliability of the financial information of other businesses and being engaged to audit specific sections or units within an organization.

Is your project in maven? If you run "mvn dependency:tree" then you should see which dependency gets bad version of jboss-logging to classpath.
Hi Victor and thinksteep, I am also facing the same problem. Please let me know how you were able to resolve this problem. I copied the jboss-client.jar from AS7 but I am still getting the error. Please help.
The only reason I know of that you could get "java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.tracef(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)V" is if you had an old version of JBoss Logging somewhere on your classpath (perhaps buried in another jar). Removing everything from your classpath except jboss-client.jar from AS7 and see if you still have the problem.

On The Money;
Economic Advice for the 99%
The View From the Top
So who are the 1%, and why do they want all of your money? Don't they have enough already? Why do they always want more, and why don't they do something about global climate change or the rest of the environmental crisis? The fact is, the world looks very different from the top of the economy, than it does from the bottom, or even the middle, so let's try to see it from their perspective.
The 1% take opulence for granted. Their consumption is limited only by their own imagination, not lack of resources. These people all have way more money than they can spend, and most of what they own, makes money, so they keep getting richer, no matter how much they spend. Still, they need a robust economy way more than you do. They need the economy, because the economy protects them from us. They use it to keep the riffraff in line. At the top of the economy, profit has less to do with making money, than it does with maintaining order, stability, and growth.
Order matters at the top. As solid, and resilient as our economic system seems, the 1% knows that without strict discipline, the capitalist system would collapse like a house of cards. Those 1%ers, who have become accustomed to opulence, know that the rest of us would lynch them if we knew how bad they were fucking us. So we must have cops, and standing armies, who will shoot to kill anyone who steps out of line. That's what "order" means.
That's why the military industrial complex, and the prison industrial complex form such a large part of our economy. Even though these endless stupid wars we get into, and the money we spend keeping millions of people in prison for drugs, seems like a tremendous waste of resources to the rest of us, to the 1% who control this economy, it is more important to punish disobedience, no matter how pointless and arbitrary the rule, than it is to reward obedience. The 1% never skimp on the guns, bombs, soldiers or cops.
All of those cops and soldiers need to get paid. That gets expensive, even for the 1%, so they make sure that we pay them. When the government has enough money from taxing working people to pay for enough cops, guns and soldiers to keep everyone in line, they call that "stability". When we pay for our own oppression, and their protection, "order" becomes profitable, and self-sustaining, resulting in "stability".
Even though we, the 99%, pay for those cops, soldiers and armaments, they invariably serve the interests of the 1%, and the 1% always find something for them to do. It's not pretty, but it keeps them busy. The 1% likes to keep the rest of us busy too, and that isn't pretty either. Whether its drilling for oil in the Gulf of Mexico, contaminating groundwater in rural PA with fracking chemicals, or removing mountaintops in WV, its all ugly work, and doing it doesn't make us any more attractive.
The 1% need to keep this economy growing, because that's how they keep us busy. They give us jobs and incomes to keep us from killing them, and turn us into obedient servants. As the population grows, as unrest grows, as dissatisfaction grows, as anger grows, so too must the economy. Every year the pressure to earn money must increase, because that pressure, more so than the cops and soldiers, serves to maintain order and stability, by keeping us busy. As more people compete for fewer resources, the amount of resources necessary to maintain order and stability increases as well, so growth insures stability.
You see, to the 1%, the rest of us just look like so many goats and sheep. We are just livestock to them. For them, the economy acts as a domestication program. As long as they can keep the economy rolling along, we will do whatever they want. We'll go to school to learn the material, at our own cost, then take an unpaid internship to acquire the skills, and then beg them to hire us, and accept whatever they offer. It took no small amount of effort to reduce us to this level of submissiveness and obedience, and they've been at it for some time.
"Flexibility" they call it. We have a very "flexible" workforce here in the US. We'll do pretty much anything for a job. Relocate? No problem, Pay cut? Sure, I'm a team player. No benefits? OK, I'm healthy enough. Unpaid overtime? Yeah, I always give 110%, just because I love my job, no matter how bad it sucks. How did it come to this? When did Americans turn into such pathetic little boot-licks, and why?
The economy did this to us. The 1% uses the global economy to make us more obedient, docile, and trusting, all of the traits you might look for in a dog. The 1% has exploited the resources of the world, laid waste to the global ecosystem, and expropriated the content of our lives, for the primary purpose of domesticating the human race, to make us into obedient servants. The 1% uses the economy to turn us, the wolf at their door, into the dog tied up in their yard..
It takes a lot of energy to keep us all busy, and we destroy a lot of the environment in the process, but to the 1%, that is a small price to pay for the order, stability and security that a robust economy provides them. That's why the 1% completely fails to address global climate change. We don't burn so much energy because we need it to live decent lives, we burn so much energy because they need it, to control our lives. To the 1%, the 99% represents a much more immediate threat than global climate change. So, for the 1%, order, stability, and growth will always take precedence over the environment.
Despite the fact that all money flows toward the 1%, we must understand that the vast majority of economic activity in the world is not about making the 1% richer, the purpose of most economic activity is to keep us all too busy, and too dependent, to challenge or even question their power. As long as we stay focused on money, and will settle for a paycheck, we remain loyal servants of the 1%.
That's why the 1% get so concerned about the unemployment rate. None of them work at jobs, but for them, full employment means order, stability, and growth. Order, stability and growth may sound like good things, but you should always remember what they mean. "Order" means everyone does what they are told, and almost nobody dares to step out of line. "Stability" means that tomorrow, everyone will get up in the morning and do it again, just like today, yesterday, last week, last month or last year, even though we all hate doing it and its destroying the planet. "Growth" means that every year you will pay more, and work harder for less.
This human domestication program they call "the economy" produces order, stability and growth, for the 1%, at the expense of the environment, our quality of life, and our humanity. Neither our lives nor our environment will improve as long as we continue to serve their interests. That's a view of the economy, from the perspective of the 1%, that's On The Money.

Picking a gift for someone can take hours, and yet, it still may not be the right choice for the person. But if they're an Android user, there is a range of items you can select from that will be both meaningful and fit right into their digital lifestyle.
Here are the best gift ideas for Android users you can buy right now.
Google's smart display, the Nest Hub Max is an ideal device for someone who's already used to talking to the Google Assistant or calling through Google Duo. The Nest Hub Max will make it easier for the person to access and perform all these actions with a set of far-field microphones, stereo speakers, and a 10-inch touchscreen.
The Nest Hub Max's fabric exterior and clean design also goes well with any decor. Plus, it can function as a home security camera, and you can remotely check the camera's live feed from your phone. Google offers an affordable alternative called the Home Hub in case the Nest Hub Max is out of your budget. It has almost the same abilities, except for a smaller 7-inch display, entry-level speakers, and no camera.
The Google Chromecast Ultra is another potentially worthy addition to an Android user's home. The media streaming stick works seamlessly with Google's mobile operating system and allows you to stream video content from your phone to a TV in an instant. In addition, you can cast an Android phone's screen and employ it for mirroring just about anything such as presentations or games.
The Chromecast Ultra is capable of streaming in up to 4K resolution and supports Google's cloud gaming platform Stadia too. Similar to the Nest Hub Max, the Chromebook Ultra has a cheaper counterpart simply dubbed Chromecast. It has all of Ultra's features minus the 4K hardware and Stadia compatibility.
If you aren't quite sure which apps, movies, or subscriptions your recipient already has, a Google Play Gift Card is your best bet. It enables them to buy a digital item of their choice, including a music streaming subscription, movies, ebooks, apps, and games on the Google Play Store.

A native of Oklahoma, Ti'Sharon Thompson moved to Indiana to live with her aunt as a teenager. She discovered Indianapolis Metropolitan High School her junior year.
On a typical day, Ti'Sharon carries a full schedule at school, attends basketball practice, then goes to work – often arriving home late. She is also actively involved with her church.
"When I'm struggling to balance everything, I try to stay focused on why I'm doing it," said Ti'Sharon, who plans to major in biochemistry next year. "I know I have a future ahead of me, and it's all just part of the daily push of getting through high school to get to college."
An accomplished student, her teachers quickly recognized her work ethic and natural abilities.
"Ti'Sharon really excelled in my chemistry class," said Eric Sprague, teacher at Indianapolis Met. "She was a great student leader."
With guidance from the leadership team at the school, Ti'Sharon was awarded a Lilly Endowment Scholarship, which will pay her full tuition for four years at Indiana University, plus an additional $900 per year for books and supplies.
"Many students have to work while they go to college, but the scholarship allows me to focus on school," said Ti'Sharon.
"We know our students very well," said Christina Lear, Indianapolis Met's Assistant Principal. "We know their academic profiles, their goals, and what motivates them, so when an opportunity comes up, we can target the right students and guide them in the application process."
Ti'Sharon will be the first person in her family to attend college. Inspired by her twin nephews, born at low birth weights, she plans to become a pediatrician.
"I consistently choose to do better and challenge myself," said Ti'Sharon. "I'm going to miss high school, but I'm ready to experience the next stage of life."
Ti'Sharon encourages other students seeking a college- and career-focused high school experience to consider Indianapolis Metropolitan.
"Indy Met is open to everyone," she said. "Stay focused and try your best, and Indy Met will help you be successful."

CARS Residential Addiction Recovery Center (RARC) is a 60-bed, co-ed SUD (Substance Use Disorder) treatment program located 90 minutes northwest of Binghamton and 90 minutes southwest of Syracuse in Trumansburg, New York. At CARS RARC we focus on transformation and hope. We focus on the development of two "core skills." We believe our role is to use these core skills to partner with the recovering individual to build the foundation for lifelong recovery. We also know this quest for a new life free from addiction is not an easy one. We believe a clear focus on the "why" and "how" of transformation is the single most important factor for success in our program.
We believe every addicted man or woman has a destination in mind when they think about recovery from addiction. We believe that destination might be summed up as the legacy of a decent, sober and upright life well lived and all the wondrous things that come from that, such as a warm and loving home, good and robust health, a supportive and caring community, and an enriching and meaningful purpose.
We will maintain our direction and focus by using the compass of recovery. Recovery is "a process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential." - SAMHSA Recovery Strategic Support Initiative, 2012
We will use the "map" of core skills to keep us on course. Learning and practicing the two skills and six methods below, we will focus on learning and practicing in the six to 10 weeks (average stay; yours may be a bit longer or shorter.)
These two "core skills" are:
We are dedicated to providing the most effective services to our clients to aid in their recovery. CARS treatment services are based on the evidence-based Matrix Model.
A variety of clinical approaches are utilized within our treatment programs which include: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Strengths Based Therapy, Trauma Informed Care, Crisis Intervention, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, among others.
All the work at CARS RARC happens with the community of recovering men and women partnering with the staff to succeed in this work of transformation. As a community member you will be expected to adhere to the following pledge:
We extend grace and generosity of spirit
We welcome strangers
We listen
We laugh and cry
We make mistakes
We show mercy
We give thanks
We celebrate life
We believe in love and possibility
We are a community committed to recovery
Finally, to live and work together there must be common agreement and understanding of what is acceptable and positive behavior and standards. We have only five rules at CARS RARC. They are:
In general, if you follow 5 main rules while you are here all of the others will take care of themselves, they are:
Some practical information:
Insurance and payment information:
We believe that our program is best defined by our mission statement. CARS is "A professional community resource providing caring and effective recovery services dedicated to improving quality of life by promoting individual dignity and respect for all."

What You're Saying About Rosie's Relationship With Jasper Ames
What was the nature of Rosie Larsen's relationship with her ex-boyfriend, Jasper Ames? Fans of The Killing have been discussing that topic with one another on The Killing Talk forum. Here's what some of them had to say:
• "Is there any chance Rosie was hanging around Jasper to get some dirt on his dad? Sterling mentions that Rosie had a secret relationship. Perhaps the secret relationship had Rosie doing some info gathering for one of the politicians." — Lan_Man
• "Let's not forget her $2000 Italian shoes. Did she try Jasper out because he's wealthy, and then dumped him because he's a schmuck and she's far more intellectually advanced than he is?" — Tom L.
• "I think Kris is a drug connection and Rosie buys drugs from Jasper. She is not dating Jasper." — Prvteye

I have a feeling you might have to already be a Blues Control fan to appreciate this one but I guess you never know.
Both of the tracks on this single are really orchestral and delicately hypnotic, and if you're into really intricate and experimental instrumental stuff then this might just be for you. Personally, I think I'm going to have to give this one a few more chances since it doesn't have as much of a backbone as I'd normally like and I lack the immediate patience for it - although this is probably due to my fetish for epic doom metal as of late so don't let me stop you from checking this out. I realise my description was less than convincing but there's something strangely beautiful about these tracks so take of it what you will.

World Bulletin/News Desk
Suspected Boko Haram gunmen kidnapped eight girls from a village near one of their strongholds in northeastern Nigeria overnight, police and residents said on Tuesday.The abduction of the girls, aged 12 to 15, follows the kidnapping of more than 200 other schoolgirls by the militant group last month.
Lazarus Musa, a resident of the village of Warabe, told Reuters that armed men had opened fire during the raid.
"They were many, and all of them carried guns. They came in two vehicles painted in army colour. They started shooting in our village," Musa said by telephone from the village in the hilly Gwoza area, Boko Haram's main base.
A police source, who could not be named, said the girls were taken away on trucks, along with looted livestock and food.
The United Nations warned Boko Haram militants on Tuesday that there was no statute of limitations if they carried out their leader's threat to sell more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped last month.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau said in a video released on Monday that he will sell the girls taken by his fighters from a secondary school in the village of Chibok, in northeastern Borno state, on April 14.
"We warn the perpetrators that there is an absolute prohibition against slavery and sexual slavery in international law. These can under certain circumstances constitute crimes against humanity," U.N. human rights spokesman Rupert Colville told a news briefing in Geneva.
"That means anyone responsible can be arrested, charged, prosecuted, and jailed at any time in the future. So just because they think they are safe now, they won't necessarily be in two years, five years or 10 years time," he said.
He also urged Nigeria's federal and local authorities to work together to rescue the girls.
Local states have a lot of power and control over their territory, and the authorities in Borno are not of the same political party as the president, Colville said.
"So it is particularly important that there is close cooperation for the greater good, if you like, in this case, which is the release of these girls," he said.
Any buyer could also be held liable, Colville said, noting that enslaved girls are likely to be exposed to "continuous physical, psychological, economic and sexual violence" and that forced marriage can have a "devastating" impact on victims.
"The power differentials between girls and their 'spouses' is likely to undermine all autonomy, all freedom of will and expression of the girls. The situation they will be in will be tantamount to slavery, or slavery-like practices within the so-called marriage," he said.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay said after a visit to Nigeria in March that abuses by the security forces are boosting support for the group which has waged an increasingly bloody five-year-old insurgency in the north.
Pillay, a former U.N. war crimes judge, also said at the time that Boko Haram's actions were more and more monstruous.
She wrote to President Goodluck Jonathan on April 28 urging him to spare no effort to ensure the girls' safe return.
Any rescue attempt must be made in line with international human rights standards, Colville said, noting previous "allegations of excessive use of force by the Nigerian military in anti-Boko Haram operations".
Civilians should not be endangered, nor should there be summary executions or arbitrary detentions of suspects, he said.Last Mod: 06 Mayıs 2014, 17:09

GPA Marks 6.5% November Growth
"Last month capped an active peak season, with November import and export cargo growing significantly," said GPA Executive Director Griff Lynch.
The Port of Savannah moved 167,333 containers, an improvement of 10,210 over November 2015.
"An increasing demand for America's exports abroad and strong consumer confidence here at home are helping to boost cargo throughput," Lynch said.
Measured in loaded containers, an indicator of overall economic strength, total trade increased 11 percent in November. For the month, the Port of Savannah handled 246,877 loaded twenty-foot equivalent container units, a record. Loaded export TEUs totaled 107,145, an increase of approximately 10 percent, or 9,603 TEUs. Import loads grew by 12 percent, to reach 139,732 TEUs.
From September through November, the GPA moved nearly 920,000 total TEUs.
Total cargo across all GPA terminals in November reached 2.55 million tons, an increase of 2 percent, or 46,000 tons. Of that figure, container tons totaled 2.25 million tons, with breakbulk at 198,596 tons and bulk cargo totaling 100,802 tons.

The Divergent Tour stopped by Seattle with two of its stars Jai Courtney and Miles Teller. The two talked to me about preparing for the film and what to tell a guy to get him to see Divergent.
Did you give Miles any tips on how to shoot the action scenes in Divergent?
Jai Courtney: I tried, but Miles seems to know everything [laughs]. I don't think he listened.
Miles Teller: Jai's the experienced action star and I'm the funny indie drama kid so I took a few notes from him. We did a boot camp to prepare. I did a lot of push-ups, a lot of sit-ups, some knife throwing, and tactical gun work.
What would you tell a guy to get him to come see Divergent?
JC: For a start, there's plenty of hot girls in Divergent [laughs] and some good action. I really think this is a film for everyone. I think because there's a young female as the protagonist it might sway some males from checking it out, but they'd be making a big mistake. It's a great action adventure story with a cool moral journey at the center of it.
MT: It's cool. There's a lot of guys in the film so it's not a mushy movie. The romance isn't at the center of the movie. There's a lot of fun, fighting, and a lot combat. Plus the action sequences look cool. A guy shouldn't be ashamed to tell people he's going to see Divergent. Actually, he should take a girl to it. That's the smart thing to do.
Was there a scene you liked in this film.
JC: I really liked seeing the worlds of the different factions. My character is a fixture in his faction so he just stays there. But when I saw the landscape they created with Chicago and seeing these other groups, they really did well with defining the different groups.
MT: I liked when I beat up Tris (Shailene Woodley). It was fun. At first I didn't want to beat up a girl but Shaileen started talking crap to me so….
And [Miles] is signed up to play Mr. Fantastic in the Fantastic Four reboot. I couldn't be happier.
MT: Thanks man! [smiles]. Thanks for not trolling me like the rest of the internet. I appreciate that.

Unveiling at old forge: Coon monument will pay tribute to those who worked and used forge over the centuries
The annual tractor run in Coon, North Kilkenny will be held on Sunday. It attracts huge crowds every year and will gather from noon onwards and following what has become a tradition, Fr John Delaney will bless the participants and their machines before they take off.
The route will take them from the village, through Cruttenclough to Dunne's Cross. From there it will be on to Clogh and down into Castlecomer. Those involved should arrive back in Coon just in time for the All-Ireland football final.
This year's event is also marking the unveiling of a monument at Lyng's forge Cruttenclough.
While the forge closed in 1978 it was operational for generations. Different types of iron work from shooing horses, to making gates and banding wheels were preformed at the forge. The binding platform for horse cart wheels is being relocated to its original location. A monument will be unveiled paying tribute to all those that worked and used the forge over the centuries. The monument is happening in conjunction with Kilkenny County Council who has done great tremendous work getting the project completed.
This event is one of the major fundraisers in the area. Monies raised will go towards the maintenance of the village particularly the stone walls and playground.
Sean Haughney, chairman of Coon Development said "it's our main fundraiser for the year. This year the path towards the village and the school is completed along with the street lighting".
Sean also said that working with Kilkenny County Council is proving successful and the co-operation they have shown and given towards the development is first class.
Over the past decade this organisation has been one of the leading rural development groups in Kilkenny. Delivering on projects sewerage upgrade, playground and village overlay.

If you work outside a great deal or have responsibilities for public places, you will know the great amount of stress which can be caused by the loss of a set of utility keys. utility keys are needed to open service cabinets, drain the radiator, set the taps, and to open communal cupboards and doors.
Here at Fast Keys we understand the importance of having the right key at the right time. We stock a number of keys manufactured by Easyturn and UK Imports. The keys within this range will cater to a wide variety of utility locks. Rest assured that each key is crafted to a high standard, designed for lasting durability and strength.
Fast Keys offers an affordable and speedy replacement key service. Rather than having to spend time and money visiting the locksmiths, simply go online and find your replacement lock. It will save you both time and money, as Fast Keys are almost sure to have the key you need in stock, or will be able to make it. In simply no time at all we will be able to provide you with replacement keys.
Utility maintenance is a vital part of the organisation of any public place or organisation. Keys are required to open communal doors, rooms, toilets and safes. You may also need keys to fit stop cocks, large taps or outside taps. Hence, having the right keys is essential to the smooth running of your organisation. We at Fast Keys understand this importance and will endeavour to cater to your needs.
It's not only in public work places that keys for utilities are vital. Sometimes keys may even be required for utilities within the home, such as gas, water or electricity cabinets. It may surprise you to know that there are probably at least two utility locks within your house which you may need to work one day. You may not have yet come across them, but at some point you will need to open these locks.
Choosing a replacement key couldn't be easier. Either browse the selection of keys we have available online, or look at the lock face of the utility lock and identify the code numbers. Give these to Fast Keys and we can do the rest. We use special key-cutting tools to ensure we create perfect keys. Should you be unsure as to specifically which type of key you require, you can email or post a picture of the lock to us and we will endeavour to identify it for you.
Once you receive your key, you can be assured that it will work straight away. You will not need to go to the locksmith and waste valuable time. Simply call Fast Keys and put in your order. If you order before 3pm, we can almost always guarantee that your key will be put in the post on the same day.

It is urgent that you call both your Senators and your Congressperson today and tell them to vote against this outrageous bill. You can read the bill here. It ignores the conclusions of the Goldstone Report and simply parrots Israeli government denial."Click here to learn more and take action.

From the Gaza Freedom March organizers: Tell Congress "Don't Bury Goldstone"
We'll have more information on how to engage Congress on this over the next week, but here is a call from the organizers of the Gaza Freedom March to pressure Congress to oppose a resolution condemning the Goldstone Report: "The US Congress is a considering a bipartisan resolution which would officially reject the findings of Judge Goldstone's report on the Gaza war and call on President Obama and Secretary of State Clinton to use the US veto to prevent a vote on the report in the United Nations Security Council. A vote on the bill, House Resolution 867, is expected by this coming weekend.

> Not strictly Christmas baubles, but this is the Christmas cover of our winter magazine. It was printed on Thursday and should have been delivered to IJmuiden on Friday. We should get ours by Wednesday at the latest. I asked the designer for "a sprig of holly or something", and he chose this lovely Christmas rose. Don't these girls look like they're having fun?
It was nice and frosty yesterday on the drive to work, so much so I felt like parking up and going for a tramp across the fields. But I was due at the office. Depending on what I end up doing tonight, and the weather of course, I may go walking tomorrow, or I may go to an afternoon gig, or I may go to a teatime gig, or I may go to an evening gig, or I may stay in and work.
Today I have an errand to run, I have a choice of 2 gigs this evening, one in Leeds or one in Sheffield, then again, there's always X-Factor …
Yesterday I did my shopping on the way home, filled the petrol tank, then slobbed and read and watched telly.

Each of the three species native to the Beta Rigel (Tau-3 Eridani) star system possessed a different reproductive system. That led to confusion among outsiders about the number and nature of Rigelian sexes. The Chelons of Beta Rigel III were hermaphrodites, the Jelna of Beta Rigel V included two varieties for male and female each, and the Zami and Kalar of Beta Rigel IV and Beta Rigel VII, respectively, were typical binary-gendered. Combining all three species, there were a total of five different sexes among the Rigelians. (ENT episode: "Cogenitor"; ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Tower of Babel)
Chelons were a hermaphroditic species, like the Hermats, i.e possessing a single sex. Unlike them, most of them assumed a binary gendered identity, choosing to present themselves as either male or female. The more traditional inhabitants of the Hainali Basin on Beta Rigel III rejected that notion and were proud of their hermaphroditic nature. An openly hermaphroditic Chelon was addressed as Velom. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Tower of Babel) Examples for differently gendered Chelons include Velom Ganaiar, the female Federation Councilor Kishkik Sajithen and the male Federation Ambassador Jetanien. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Tower of Babel; VAN novel: Harbinger)
The Jelna had four visually distinguishable sexes. The exosexes possessed an extra Z chromosome and outnumbered the endosexes by 2 to 1. Endosexes were comparable to the male and female genders of typical humanoids. From an evolutionary standpoint, the exosexes were more robust and aggressive than endosexes, and better adapted to handle hunting and gathering while the gentler endosexes stayed in the camp to defend and nurture the young. Exosexes were sallow-skinned and had a variety of eye colors. Endosexes were red-eyed and silver-skinned. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Tower of Babel)
Rise of the Federation: Tower of Babel author Christopher L. Bennett postulates that Jelna have three sex chromosomes X, Y and Z. The four different types of resulting sex are endofemale (X), endomale (XY), exofemale (XZ) and exomale (XYZ), which defined the their prehistoric gender roles: child rearing (endofemale), defending (endomale), gathering (exofemale) and hunting (exomale). Unlike among the four-gendered Andorians and Aenar, only two Jelna contribute genetic material during mating. (Tower of Babel annotations page)
Zami and KalarEdit
The Zami and their racial sub-group, the Kalar, were a vulcanoid species and as such two-gendered like most baseline humanoids. The Zami sexes were limited to male and female. (ENT - Rise of the Federation novel: Tower of Babel)
The issue of Rigelian sexuality first came up in the ENT episode: "Cogenitor" when Doctor Phlox stated Rigelians had four or five sexes.

Was that one lovely week really all that July had to offer? Crikey. Bring on August, but let's see this latest disappointing month out in style. Here's what to get up to this weekend.
Jason Bourne or Finding Dory? Two films at opposite ends of the spectrum, but equally enticing. Depending on your attention span, anyway.
In terms of reviews, Dory's blown Jason out of the water, with the amnesiac regal tang picking up almost universal praise for its wit, humour and... emotion. Jason Bourne, meanwhile, is generally considered to be decent, but nothing on the magnificent originals (the Jeremy Renner disaster doesn't count).
This week's must-play: Hyper Light Drifter
Don't be fooled by the pretty pictures, this is a bloody difficult game. In fact, that's the only real criticism we have of it. Hyper Light Drifter is hard. It's landed on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 this week, and is well worth getting to grips with. It's okay to swear excessively on the weekends, you know. Read the Kotaku review here.
Don't forget about Comic Con! The geekfest comes to London this weekend, and it needs no introduction. If you've already made alternate plans, go and take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror. If you haven't, have a great time!
For any of you too cool for make-believe characters and racy costumes, there's always the Prudential RideLondon FreeCycle event and the Alpamare Water Park in Scarborough. It's really all about Comic Con though.

Many IT specialists will agree that Ruby On Rails is one of the best tools for startups. Here are a few good reasons why choosing RoR for your startup.
It is Really Cool
Though it is not the most professional argument, but RoR is just cooler than many other frameworks. Working on old technology is boring, so why not shifting to a new powerful framework that gives more opportunities for experimenting.
Reduced Development Costs
Many agile developers companies nowadays are obsessed with Ruby On Rails and take every opportunity to work with this framework. Therefore, many are ready to work for less money only for getting a chance to use Ruby On Rails. So, why not use this obsession for your own benefit and hire cheaper programmers.
Better Programmer Productivity
The sooner the product gets to the market, the higher your chances to receive a good revenue. The use of Ruby On Rails significantly reduces development time and therefore you get a chance to start selling your product earlier than your competitors. Who knows, maybe someone is already working on a similar project, so do not let them be the first.
Guarantees Perfect Results
As a MVC (model–view–controller) framework, Ruby On Rails provides default structures for web pages, web server and database. The main benefit of MVC pattern is that it keeps developers from making fatal mistakes. By using standard default choices, even beginner RoR developers are able to create flawless products that are highly competitive with products developed by programmers, having a more ample experience in other frameworks.
Understanding of Potential Risks and Rewards
There is no need finishing a business school to understand that the greater risks you take, the greater reward you may eventually get. Launching a business on a comparatively new platform technology is undoubtedly a risky adventure. On the other hand, every startup is a risk to some part. Though you are not able to predict and avoid all potential risks, you can always take risks on something you are able to control, like for example, your technology platform.
The right choice of a technology platform is half the battle for any startup. Before making a final decision and choosing the newest technology that promises to give excellent outcomes (which Ruby On Rails does), make sure to learn what pitfalls are awaiting for you. Be wise and never make a hurried decision.
