Why should I pursue certification in behavior analysis?
The answer is marketability. ABA practitioners know that certification is the key to job growth and security. There is a growing need for well-trained board-certified professionals in behavior analysis, in schools' early intervention programs, day programs, residential settings and home-based programs. Certification in behavior analysis will provide the opportunity to access a wide range of career options.
Florida Tech offers a comprehensive professional development program in behavior analysis with a flexible and supportive online environment. For your convenience, all courses are offered completely online and do not require any travel to the Florida Tech campus. With the Florida Tech ABA Online course series, you have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of behavior analysis from the comfort of your home or work at a time that best fits your schedule.
The ABA Online Fourth Edition program courses meet the instructional requirements toward certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst® (BACB®) or Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst® (BCaBA®) defined by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, Inc.® (BACB®).
There are five courses taken over four terms required for the BCaBA level of certification and eight courses taken over six terms required for the BCBA level. All courses are taught and graded at the master's level and require master's level coursework to be completed.
Which courses do I need to complete to become certified?
If you are interested in becoming certified and have not taken any courses that meet instructional requirements for certification, you would need to take courses BEHP5011 through BEHP5018 for BCBA-level certification or courses BEHP5011 through BEHP5015 for BCaBA-level certification.
I took Third Edition Task List courses. What courses do I need to meet the current Fourth Edition Task List requirements?
If you completed your Fourth Edition coursework at Florida Tech, you will need the courses BEHP5013 through 5015 for BCaBA-level certification and courses BEHP5013 through 5018 (except for BEHP5017A) for BCBA-level certification. (Note: If you did not complete an entire course sequence under the old task list, then you may need additional courses.)
If you you took your Third Edition Task List courses at another university, we will be happy to help you determine which of the courses in the ABA Online program will meet the current coursework requirements for your level of certifcation. To do so, we will need you to submit the course content verification form from your previous program. The course content verification form is the only means by which we can make this determination. Course descriptions, transcripts, and course syllabi do not provide the information needed to advise you. For an example of a course content verification form, or course grid, please visite http://www.fit.edu/bst/documents/FINAL_BACB_BCBA.pdf.
When is the next certification exam?
What is the difference between BCBA certification and BCaBA certification?
Will I be certified in behavior analysis when I complete all the courses in one of the two professional development programs?
Only the BACB can certify behavior analysts. In order to be certified in behavior analysis with the BACB, one must first meet all certification requirements, including:
How do I apply to the ABA Online program?
Do I need a bachelor's or master's degree to take the courses?
To enroll in the ABA Online Fourth Edition program for professional development credit, a bachelor's or master's degree is not required. However, to meet the certification requirements of the Behavior Analyst Certification Board, individuals must have either a bachelor's or master's degree, depending on the certification they are pursuing.
Please visit the Behavior Analyst Certification Board's website at http://www.bacb.com/ for the current requirements for certification.
Is the schedule at all flexible?
Each of the ABA Online terms is 10 weeks in length, with four terms offered each year. Individuals taking the ABA Online course series are not required to maintain continuous enrollment, so it's easy to take a term off when needed. All eight courses are offered every January (spring), April (summer), July (fall) and October (winter) term, so that you can begin a course when it is most convenient for you throughout the year.
Most courses have one orientation unit and nine instructional units. With the busy professional in mind, we've created instructional units that consists of an average of five to ten hours of video broken into smaller sections. This allows you to fit study time into your busy schedule.
The instructional videos are available on demand, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. A computer with better-than-dial-up Internet connection is required to run the ABA Online program courses. These videos can be stopped, rewound, watched and rewatched as necessary. For the student on the go, the videos are also compatible with most mobile devices!
What if I'm nervous about taking tests?
There is no need to travel for the ABA Online unit or final exams (or tests). While all of the course tests are closed-note and closed-book, they may be taken online from the location of your choosing with reliable Internet connection. There are two exams for each unit, as well as the course final. The best score of these two exams is used as the final score for that particular exam. Students are given time between the two exams to study and further review the course materials.
What if I have questions?
In addition to the email contact with your co-instructor, there are also easy-to-use online discussion boards that are checked a minimum of twice daily to give students an opportunity to ask questions or discuss topics and get quick assistance. They are a great tool for collaboration with fellow students around the world.
How can I get the most out of study time?
Students are provided with an array of online study materials to facilitate learning in the courses and assist in passing the BCBA or BCaBA exam. Detailed study guides are available for use while watching the course videos. This is a great study aid not only for the course, but also when studying for the certification exams. Students are also provided with printable PowerPoint presentations for each lecture and other study materials. Best of all, these materials are available online whenever you need to access them throughout the course.
Will I have the chance to interact with others in the field?
Students meet, along with 10 to 15 other students, online with an instructor for one hour each week. Upon registration, there are many different times you may choose for your weekly online meeting. Because the ABA Online program has students all over the world, these sections are available from early in the morning to late at night all week! Students access a live, online classroom where they can see and hear their co-instructor. Students can ask questions, take part in discussions and answer polls, just like in a physical classroom.
Want to learn from the best?
Dr. Martinez-Diaz is the program director and lead instructor for the ABA online courses. He has worked as an ABA practitioner, professor, and administrator. Dr. Martinez-Diaz is a respected member of the ABA community, and among his many other roles, he served as the president of the Florida Association of Behavior Analysis. Dr. Martinez-Diaz is highly experienced in focusing on people with diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders, mental retardation, disruptive behavior disorders, schizophrenia and traumatic brain injury. His classes are fun and filled with his stories to help make the concepts come to life for students. Most of all, Dr. Martinez-Diaz is passionate about ABA and the powerful impact it can have on the lives of clients, caregivers and the community as a whole.
In addition to lectures delivered by Dr. Martinez-Diaz, students will also be exposed to other respected experts in the field in some units. This way, students are learning from the best.
Is there financial aid available?
The ABA Online Fourth Edition program does not offer scholarships, grants or government loans (such as the Stafford Loan) at this time. The types of aid our program is eligible for are Sallie Mae loans, military education aid (MyCAA) and Americorps. We also suggest that potential students contact their local bank to request a career training loan.
To view more information about our financial aid options and how to apply, please go to our financial aid page.
Our school code is 00146900.
Where do I sign up?
The ABA Online Fourth Edition program does not require an application since it is offered as a professional development, and not a degree, program through the office of Continuing Education. To sign up for class, use the registration page of our ABA Online program website at http://www.fit.edu/bst/programs/aba/registration/.
The registration website contains all the information required for registration in our program. We do not require copies of your transcripts; you will need to send them to the BACB when applying to sit for the certification exam.
I've taken similar courses before. Do I still have to take all the courses offered by Florida Tech?
This question will be best answered by emailing the BACB at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The outcome depends on:
Students with course content grids from previous courses taken at other institutions can email them to firstname.lastname@example.com to see if any of the courses can substitute hours for our course series.
Do these courses count toward a bachelor's or master's degree?
These courses are offered as professional development continuing education courses and are not part of Florida Tech's degree programs. This program is not an online master's degree.
Courses can be taken for either transferable or nontransferable master's credit. Nontransferable master's credit costs less than Florida Tech transferable master's credit. For transferable masters' credit, the student pays the current Florida Tech graduate on-campus tuition rate. The application and registration process is different for these students.
When and where will the four- or six-term course sequences be offered?
The ABA Online courses are offered four times a year. Please see our Registration page for exact dates and registration prices.
Our program posts weekly updates with all of our upcoming courses, which can be found online on our course front page at http://aba.fit.edu/.

ABA Online Program Holiday Policy for Students
We would like to encourage our students, co-instructors and staff to spend university-approved holidays with their friends and family or just take some personal time. In addition, we want our co-instructors to have the opportunity to take advantage of specific continuing education activities and conferences to ensure they remain current on recent advancements in ABA. However, we strive to maintain exceptional instructional practices and provide students with much-needed contact with their co-instructors in the form of weekly online meetings. In keeping with these goals, the following policy was drafted regarding holidays and make-up sessions.

Platform Confusion
Three years I spent writing and polishing my first novel. I was so excited once the manuscript was finished. On to the agent search! But wait…what's this I'm reading? I need a "platform" and if I don't have one, I may not be able to draw in an agent's attention? Surely that can't be true. I've never even heard of a "platform."
When I think of a platform, I imagine someone on the street corner, standing on a rickety box, holding a bullhorn—shouting at passersby, trying to draw folks in to hear their rehearsed message.
So, a Googling I go! I even hit the library for this one. Instantly I'm inundated with information that seems so far out of reach that I feel the urge to scrap the whole idea of becoming a writer.
Take a breath.
I've worked too hard to let a platform get in my way. Reading through the suggestions, I find the need to break it down into digestible chunks. Where to start…ah ha, the internet! Let's see: facebook, have had an account for a while, check; Twitter, have an account, never tweeted, check; blog, called on a niece for help, check; LinkedIn, called on the husband for help, check; MySpace, Google +, tumblr…..whoa! How many hours do these people think I have a day?
LinkedIn's as far as I go. What's next? Find like-minded people. Sounds simple, but it's not as easy as I thought it would be. Upon searching, I find that I have to "ask the right question" so to speak. "Suspense writing" gave me tips, tricks, and romance writing. Hmm, how about "suspense writers?" Romance, tricks, and Amazon…nope! You get the idea. Finally, I try "list suspense writers." My hope was that published authors would have sites I could rummage through, and I was right. Finally.
The list becomes more outrageous as I read so here's where I stop, at least for now. My personal suggestion to anyone, like me, who's new to the writing world: Work on a platform, but don't get too hung up on it.

Wind River advances IIoT with secure device lifecycle management
Industrial IoT can only generate value for customers if connected devices are actively monitored and managed. To ensure these devices are secure, operational, and performing at the highest possible level, device management should be designed in as part of an IoT system architecture from the start, as it is a key IoT enabler and critically important component in IoT deployments today.
According to IDC, 85% of existing embedded industrial devices are not presently connected. With only a small fraction of the market currently benefiting from IIoT, there is a significant amount of work to be done across the ecosystem to advance IIoT. Many of these devices have been in service for a long time, and were not designed to support IoT, so connecting these legacy devices will present new attack surfaces that compromise a company's security and privacy. With that in mind, Wind River introduced the latest version of our secure device lifecycle management platform, Wind River Helix Device Cloud, with the following new features and capabilities:
- Enhanced Security: Zero touch onboarding for instantly-connected, manageable, hardened devices with Intel technology
- Enhanced Device Management Capabilities: Remote monitoring, software over-the-air/firmware over-the-air updates, alerts, rules, update campaigns, data management and monitoring leveraging foundational IoT technology from Telit
- Flexible Deployment Options: Support for public, private and hybrid cloud deployments, as well as expanded regional public cloud hosting options
- Broad OS Support: Ease of connecting devices utilizing a new Python Agent that simplifies managing a large range of intelligent gateways and devices running different operating systems
- Expanded set of APIs to simplify contextualizing device data and device applications with business processes and business systems
Device Cloud is also integrated with the recently launched Intel Secure Device Onboard. By combining Device Cloud with Intel SDO, device manufacturers have the pre-built tools necessary for automated device onboarding, management, connectivity, and security at scale. This includes zero touch onboarding, designed to mitigate the risk of security attacks to a device, ensure privacy, and deliver automation that dramatically reduces installation and onboarding time to seconds.

A senior Turkish official at the Foreign Ministry confirmed that the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi was carried out within two hours of his arrival, the New York Times reported.
A senior Turkish Foreign Ministry official said on Tuesday that Turkish security officials had concluded Khashoggi had been assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on orders from the highest levels of the royal court.
The official described the killing as swift and complex. He arrived within two hours of his arrival at the consulate by a team of Saudi agents and then cut his body with a bone saw.
"It's like imagination," the official said.
Saudi officials, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, denied the charges and alleged that Khashoggi left the consulate freely after his arrival shortly.

Field Fabrication of Piping spools
The installation of pipe systems follows its fabrication and is very frequently a part of it. The installation of pipe can be accomplished in the following two primary ways, or combinations thereof:
- Field fabricate and install
- Shop fabricate and field erected
Some contractors prefer to do most, if not all fabrication in the shop, others prefer to set up at the job-site, while others are flexible enough to utilize the best of both methods.
Field fabrication and installation is exactly what it means. The pipe is fabricated on-site, either directly at the place where it is mounted, or in a temporary accommodation in the field.
A number of factors will determine whether it is profitable to fabricate pipe on site:
Type of project, size and scope of the project, pipe size and material, accessibility of the equipment, surface treatment after fabrication, weather conditions, availability of qualified personnel, time available to do the job, etc..
Pros and Cons of Field fabrication
Advantages of Field fabrication
- Only raw material (pipe, fittings, valves, etc.) need to be shipped to the site location. This is much easier to handle and store than multi-plane configurations of pre-fabricated pipe.
- No time-consuming need to carefully crib, tie-down and chock pre-fabricated *spool pieces for transport to the job site.
- Reduced risk of damage to spool pieces.
- More efficient opportunity to fab around unexpected obstacles (structural steel, duct, cable tray, etc.)
- Fabricate-as-you-install reduces the rework risk assumed when pre-fabricating spools, or the cost related to field verification prior to shop fabrication.
- The field routing installation of pipe through an array of insufficiently documented locations of existing pipe and equipment, on a retrofit project, is quite frequently more effective than attempting to pre-fabricate pipe based on dimensional assumptions.
Disadvantages of Field fabrication
- Weather is arguably the biggest deterrent. If the facility under construction is not enclosed then protection from the elements will have to be provided.
- When welding has to be done in conditions that are not environmentally controlled then pre-heating will be required if the ambient temperature (not the metal surface temperature) is 0° F or below.
- In a new facility, as opposed to having to route piping through an array of poorly located existing pipe and equipment, field fabrication of buttwelded pipe is not as efficient and cost effective as shop fabrication.
- Concerns about safety and efficiency when working in a facility while it is in operation in advance of a turnaround or to begin advance work on a plant expansion.
Generally speaking, threaded, socketweld, grooved, and other proprietary type joints that do not require buttwelding are field fabricated and installed. Buttwelding of small (bore), NPS 1½ and less, are very often field fabricated and installed because of the added risk of damage during transport, in pre-fabricated form, from the shop to the site.

Existing (in operation) or a new production plant?
A very important aspect is where the work must be done: Into a existing (in operation) or a new production plant?
During the construction of a new plant, the work can generally be carried out in the same way as for example in a fabrication shop. Installation and making field welds require no special authorisation. Transports with, e.g., a forklift truck and lifting with cranes require no special permits, etc.
In an existing plant in operation, the conditions are totally different as during construction of a new plant.
In general, for all activities work permits are necessary. For activities with open flames (welding, cutting etc.) and also for combustion engines, so called Hot-Permits are required.
The contractor often can not determine when a scheduled task can be performed, because it depends on plant operators, who should or should not give permission for a particular job.
In short, in an existing plant in operation, high risks are present, and the contractor can probably scheduled tasks do not always perform according to his planning.
Shop fabrication and install
Shop fabrication is, generally speaking, any pipe, fittings and components that are assembled by welding into spool assemblies at the fabricator's facility. The spools are then labeled with an identifier and transported to the job site for installation.
Each spool piece needs its own identifier marked on the piece itself in some fashion that will make it easy to know where its destination is in the facility and/or where it belongs in a multi-spool system of pipe. This will allow the installer to efficiently stage the piece and ready it for installation.
As part of the process of developing spool sections field-welded joints need to be designated. These are welded joints that connect the pre-fabricated spools. In doing this the designer or fabricator will identify two different types of field-welded joints.
One is a Field Weld (FW) and the other is a Field Closure Weld (FCW). The FW indicates a joint in which the end of a pipe segment is prepared for the installer to set in place and weld to its connecting joint without additional modification in the field. This means that the length of pipe that is joined to another in the field is cut precisely to length and the end prepared in the shop for welding.
The FCW provides the installer with an additional length of pipe, usually 100 to 150 mm longer than what is indicated on the design drawings, to allow for field adjustment.What has to be considered, and what prompts the need for a FCW, is the actual, as-installed, location of both the fixed equipment that the pipe assemblies may connect to and the actual installed location of the pipe assembly itself. Odds are that all equipment and piping will not be installed exactly where indicated on design drawings.
The dimensional location of the equipment items given on design drawings is not a finite location, they are merely intended locations, as are drawings for building steel, pipe supports and others. What factors into the installation of shop fabricated pipe is the actual location of the equipment nozzle it will be connecting to in relation to the pipe's installed location.
In connecting to equipment there is a build-up, or stack-up, of tolerances that will effectively place the actual, or final, location of the nozzle at some point in the xyz geometry of three-dimensional space, other than where the design drawing indicates. The tolerance stack-up comes from the following:
- Manufacturing tolerances in material forming, nozzle location, and vessel support location.
- The actual set-in-place location of the vessel.
- Load cell installation (when applicable).
- The actual set-in-place pipe run-up location.
In order to allow for these inevitable deviations between the drawing dimensions used to fabricate the vessel, set the vessel, and install the pipe assembly, and the actual installed location of the connecting points, a field closure piece, or two, will be required for that final adjustment.
The field closure piece is a designated section of the pipe assembly in which a field weld has been indicated. The section with the field closure weld would be the length required to agree with that indicated on the design drawing, plus an additional 100 to 150 mm (more or less depending on fabricator's comfort level with the equipment locations). What this does is allow the field to make the final determination in the adjustments when connecting to fixed equipment.
Field installation of Pipe Spools
The environment is only a factor when work has to be done in an open-air structure or other outdoor installation (tank farm, pipeline, pipe rack or yard piping, etc.). Working in an open air structure will require protection from the elements (rain, snow, wind, cold, etc.). There may additionally be a requirement to work in elevated areas on scaffolding and otherwise. All of this can have a potential impact on safety and efficiency.
Pipe rack installation consists mainly of straight runs of pipe, and will not necessarily have a requirement or need for pre-fabrication. That is, unless it is pre-fabricated as modular skid units. Depending on the project it could be cost effective on an overall strategic basis to modularize the pipe rack, steel and all.
The big advantage to shop fabrication is the controlled environment in which it's done. This includes the Quality Control aspect, better equipment (generally speaking), a routine methodology of how a piece of work progresses through the shop, and better control, through a developed routine, of required documentation.
Range of Pipe Material and Sizes
Shop fabricated spools need to be transported to the job site. This requires handling. Handling and transporting small diameter pipe and/or thin-wall tubing spools creates the potential for damage to those spools.
If you are shop fabricating everything and the distance from shop to site is simply across town the risk to damaging small diameter pipe spools is a great deal less than if they have to be shipped half way across the US, Europe or Asia. Or even across an ocean.
In transporting spools over long distances, unless there is a great deal of thought and care given to cribbing the load of spools, it may not be beneficial to transport buttwelded pipe spools NPS 1½ and less. It may be more practical to fabricate these sizes on site, unless you are fabricating hygienic or semi-conductor piping. These types of systems require a great deal more control and a cleaner fabrication. Meaning that pipe fabrication will require a clean shop area on-site, or the pipe will need to be fabricated at an off-site, better controlled shop facility.
Petroleum refining and bulk chemical projects are generally open air projects in which field fabrication and installation of pipe is exposed to the elements. While a clean build is not a requirement on these types of projects efficiency and, above all, safety is, as it is on any type project. Because of this, it would make sense to utilize shop fabrication as much as possible.
Fabricating pipe spools under better controlled shop conditions will provide improved efficiency and safer per hour working conditions over what you will generally find in the field. This translates into fewer accidents.

A bit tight but I'm dieting as I love them!
The sowing in front is off. The zipper and button don't align with my belly button. It is off to the right. Will return.
Was a bit doubtful initially, but pleasantly surprised with fit and style and more so great price! Pleased overall LTS
These jeans fit good, but I found the crop length to be much too long and the frayed hem too weird. I had them alter to suit and now they're awesome! Which is totally reasonable considering they were next-to-nothing on clearance! Thanks, LTS!
These are really cute, fit is good too. Great price on sale.
My fault as I didn't notice the frayed hemline - not for me so I returned it. M&S do a non frayed longer length cropped jean for £15 instead.
Sizing in lts is off, had to go up a size to get them to fit across the hips.
These look wonderful when on but I'd say these aren't so generous on the sizing as other LTS products. I found these to be just a bit top tight, though they are still wearable.
I found this jeans too small for casual clothes. They are not comfortable and well designed. I had to return them back unfortunately.
I am 5"11", 165 pounds, ordered a size 10 which fit around the waist/hips/butt, but the legs were very very wide, thought they would be more fitted in the thigh and calf based on the pics. Thought they would be tight then with a flare at the bottom as in the pic. Instead were straight and wide all the way to the bottom. Denim is relatively cheap - buy on sale.
Love these jeans! Very comfortable and "fun". I love the fringed edge. I got them on sale. I would not have paid $89 for them but for $29, they are great! Wish they came in more colors.
Had hoped for higher waist rise, but it's not disturbingly low...
The flare was non existent. I returned them
These were a bit short waisted, therefore inch their way down on my hips unless I have a belt on with them, and I wish they were hemmed. But all in all a good pair of summer shorter jeans, I will wear often.
Nice - but wish they were hemmed. Also, the rise is a bit short for me, however, they will get me through the summer.
I love the way these fit the model but they just don't fit me the same way. I have a long lower abdomen and that's why I buy at LTS. Other tall jeans often don't add that extra body length. Having said that, these sit at a strange spot on me and the leg length is a tad strange, not quite crop. I did however get a good deal on them and it's worth taking to my tailor to have them fixed up.
Nice, unfinished hem so designed to unravel on the bottom. Looks like you need to hem at first, but once washed actually looks great unfinished. Love the fact it annoys my Grandmother having a raw hem.
Love these jeans. I have been looking for a pair of crop jeans that doesn't end at my calves and these are between the ankle and calf. The material has a nice stretch to it but doesn't feel like it'll stretch out too much after wearing them. I ordered a size 16 and these fit true to size.
Super comfortable. Low rise so won't hold in problem belly. Dark colour means I can dress up or down.
This crop jeans are very smart, except for the length. If your usual size is 34, then they will be long..... They are okay if you wear high heels.

Four geezerhood ago I was animate in a alliance near a big charge of unwished-for animals. During the summer, the inner-city construction was guarded to euthanize 14 to 17 thousand animals each month. Feral cats and cats that had Feline Aides (FIV) were euthanized at once. At the clip I did not have familiarity or endure beside untamed cat set-up and acquittal programs. I was division my residence with six sanguine cats when I met Scruffy, a sweet, adorable, fit wild cat, that proved bubbly for FIV.
I proven to brainstorm a home for Scruffy where he would be the solitary cat in the household, but no one was interested in adopting him. After that my choices were limited, I could have Scruffy euthanized, I could have him altered and give notice him as an open-air cat knowing he may well infect otherwise cats, or I could mingle him beside my red-blooded cats (I had cardinal otherwise reclaimed cats at the example). There was and inactive seems to be an ongoing word give or take a few how cats licence FIV. Some veterinarians consider FIV can be passed by equal grooming, and consumption out of a provisions dish. Others feel FIV can lone be passed through blood; a lesion or during biological time from a female parent to her daughter. All my investigation led me to feel that FIV cats can lead a plausible native life, provided they have worthy nutrition, and a safe, informal indoor situation. Dr. Mike Richards says, "Feline immune demand virus corruption does not pb to noninheritable immunological disorder syndrome in cats as frequently as human immunodeficiency infectious agent leads to AIDS in people." The large hazard to FIV-positive cats is alternative infections, such as bladder, skin, and upper metabolic process infections. Kidney end is too prevailing in cats beside FIV. So keeping all this in mind, I made a finding to neuter seedy and unify him with my separate cats. My deepest horror was that I would discover my otherwise cats to FIV. The immunizing agent for FIV had a short time ago been placed on the market, but it was disputable so I make up one's mind not to give a vaccination against the sanguine cats.
Four years later, Scruffy is motionless a sweet, adorable, good at sport cat beside FIV. My new cats are all flushed and nonmoving testing destructive for FIV. Maybe I was lucky, or peradventure this is substantiation that the illness is not transferred done common training. It's inexact around 12% of cats in the United States have FIV. Many never work on symptoms of the malady. I ponder sector of the aim that Scruffy and my opposite cats remain anicteric is that my edifice is a well brought-up position for animals; habitual bedtimes, well-mannered prize food, perpetual availability to unspotted water, and a insufficiency of surface stress-my edifice is muted and passive supreme of the occurrence. If you select a cat with FIV, aim on conformation it inside. Also, brainstorm out how far the sickness has progressed. A cat beside FIV vulnerability is far different from a cat next to utmost FIV symptoms, or secondhand symptoms of the condition. Many FIV naked cats can have your home a comparatively regular time provided they are in indoor pet, and receive well brought-up pet vigilance.Post ads:

VeganMoFo: Thanksgivingz!!1!
What a fantastic Thanksgiving. I hosted a lovely vegan meal for the third year in a row, and lemme tell ya: it gets better each year! Here's a pic of my wonderful family, we have me, brother, mother, father, and step-dad who's taking the pic:
My finalized Thanksgiving 2010 menu:
Olive Antipasti
Hot Artichoke
Butternut Squash
Mixed Greens with Dried Cranberries, Pecans, and a Maple-Dijon-Balsamic Vinaigrette
Crescent Rolls
Lentil Loaf with Homemade Vegan Gravy
Portobello Green Bean
Mashed Potatoes
Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Mashed Rutabaga (special request from my step-dad)
Mom's Homemade Stuffing (so thankful for her help!)
Maple-Dijon Roasted Brussel Sprouts
with Brown Sugar Syrup
The best soup in all of womankind.
Second course.
Lookit that plate! Mmm... I'm gonna go get me a plate of leftovers eerily similar to this one pretty soon...
A gorgeous pic of the cheesecake taken by my photographer-roomie. After pouring the mix into the pie crust I sampled the leftover mixture and noticed that it wasn't very sweet at all... and then realized the recipe didn't call for any sugar. Too late to mix any in, so I decided to top it with a simple brown sugar syrup and it made all the difference.
My wonderful family told me they loved the meal, dessert, and company - I was on cloud nine. I hope everyone had as lovely a holiday as I had. :)

Bluerock Diamonds PLC (LON:BRD) operates the Kareevlei diamond mine in South Africa, one of the top 10 highest value per carat diamond mines in the world.
Kareevlei, a highly attractive mining proposition
The Kareelvei mining licence covers 3,000 hectares and lies 120 kilometres northwest of the historic diamond mining town of Kimberley.
It contains at least five known kimberlite diamondiferous pipes containing a combined eight million tonnes of ore.
The leading pipes, KV1 and KV2 and KV3 boast combined inferred resources of 7.99mln tonnes and 359,00 carats.
Mining already producing attractive stones
To date, 4.3% of the in situ tonnage resource has been mined. Bluerock is currently mining at KV2 and KV1, conducting ongoing evaluation work on KV5, and developing plans to start mining the higher grade section of KV3 in the medium term.
At KV2 Bluerock has mined 380,000 tonnes to date, and plans to open up a second pit to de-risk the supply of ore.
At KV1 a second pit will also be opened up to capitalise on the 1.59mln tonne resource. The resource was modelled to 50 metres below the surface, but it could go deeper and the total mineable resource is likely to be much greater.
As it stands, the inferred grade of 6.3 cpht at KV1 is 40% higher than KV2. A recent highlight was the discovering of a 10.58-carat diamond, estimated to be worth US$50,000.
This was the second largest stone by size and estimated value ever mined at Kareevlei.
Future growth will run on a clear path
The historic average monthly tonnage across 2017 and 2018) ran at around 15,000 tonnes, but the plan now is to boost that considerably.
An evaluation by the company's technical team is nearly complete, and the plan is straightforward enough. The idea is to move to a 24/7, 7 day a week operation in the first quarter of 2019.

I'm covering a lot of the restaurants in Pavilion. I know. I'm sorry. But it's right across the road from me and the food is really pretty good most of the time! I find it such a curious culture that in Asia, a lot of people go to malls, or plan to go to a mall to go to a specific restaurant. I feel in western culture and particularly in Melbourne, that is not so much the case, of course the malls are trying to make it more so, but the emphasis in a mall is always on shopping. Not so much the food and the restaurants within. Put a couple of Nando's, Grill'd and at least a McDonalds somewhere and most customers are pretty happy pretty.
This time, per my brother's request for Thai, we found ourselves in the very plush surroundings of Celadon - Royal Thai Cuisine. Quite aptly dressed to fit it's name. There was a little private section with the gorgeous clear Philippe Starck chairs, whilst the main dining room had cushy white seats with cute little faces printed on them. And I absolutely loved the burst of colour from the rainbow cushion wall, a fun way to inject some colour. All in all, very, very chic.
The cutest named bottle water I think I have ever seen...
Cool, fresh coconut juice for me, this coconut was absolutely full to the brim! I find these so easy to drink, if they're not generously sized then I tend to finish them within a few minutes of it being placed on my table....
Mum's awesome looking blended coconut drink. Whilst nice, I feel like they shouldn't have added the sugar or sugar syrup they used, was much too sweet and I ended up enjoying my fresh coconut far more!
We started with an assortment of entrees, aren't they just darling? Included were Thai fish cakes, Thai prawn cakes, chicken money bags and a wrapped deep fried prawn. Everything was fried just gorgeously, no excess oil or anything with these guys and the money bags and prawns in particular were lovely and crisp. The Thai fish cakes were a little bit bland, but the prawn cakes made up for this with a bit of spring onion and chilli, which really packed a punch!
We got a salad to start off with, I can't remember exactly what was in it, there was clear rice noodles, prawns, onions, peanuts...chilli....lots of it. I was a bit put off by the presentation, it does kind of look like it's just been scooped from a pot and dumped on, but was pleasantly surprised it was a nice warm salad. For some reason the clear rice vermicelli led me to believe it would be cold.
Next we got a green chicken curry, there was the option to have salted fish or something else on the side...we jumped onto the fish, which was good ol' crunchy goodness. I really enjoyed the curry flavour itself, not flaming in your mouth, but a nice warm savoury bite. The chicken was sadly a bit dry, but this was definitely made up with the eggplant that was included, it was soft and tender and just absorbed all the curry gravy. I very promptly nicked them all from the bowl and left my brother with the less desirable chicken!
I insisted on a pad thai, it's one of my weaknesses when it comes to thai food. Flavour was good, but the noodles were quite gooey and sticky, more so than usual. Wouldn't have minded if they were a bit drier!
Another coconut?! Nope, this was the 'seafood souffle' which was presented completely differently to the picture in the book! (which doesn't really annoy me, but I have worked with some restaurants who do apparently have customers who make an absolute scene when they're presented with something different to what's in the picture. Isn't that silly?)
I think the idea of it was supposed to be like a Malaysian 'Otak otak', which essentially a steamed fish mousse, which is what I was somewhat expecting. Instead, it was really more like a seafood soup, with a lot of liquid and bits and pieces of fish, prawns and mussels. Whilst not bad, not memorable either.
The last time I was in Kuala Lumpur, I was taken to a really love Thai restaurant, that was owned by a group who had a couple of other Thai restaurants as well, Celadon being one of them. The entrees were pretty much the highlight of the meal with everything else being just a little bit disappointing. If only they could dress up their food as pretty as the restaurant's interior...

Lillian Lamunu and her husband are both out of work and are struggling to look after their six children who all have Sickle Cell Disease. Lillian is worried that if she doesn't do something soon she might end up having another baby.
She spoke to one of RHU's clinicians who told her that they saw she had a lot of problems and a lot of children. The clinician suggested that she went and got family planning but Lillian wanted something more permanent.
"I want them to remove my tube. Let me remain with these six children. Because my children were all born with Sickle Cell Disease and keeping them is very difficult," said Lillian.
She opted for tubal ligation but her husband was yet to grant her permission to undergo the surgery so that she stops giving birth. "I know that he might be convinced but I don't know when" Lillian added.
One Ugandan commentator said that in Gulu like the rest of Uganda, contraceptive use was still too low and their uptake was still largely driven by male dominated culture and patriarchal values.
Lillian said that it was very expensive looking after her six children who all need daily medication. "I don't have enough money for keeping them," she said. Much of her time is spent in hospital with her sick children so she says that she is unable to get a job.

Dear Kim,
We're a small group with limited staff and resources, but we know that properly welcoming new donors to our organization and thanking them for their gift will greatly increase the chances of them giving again. What do you recommend including in donor welcome packets that is not too labor or resource intensive?
~Small but mighty
Dear Mighty,
The sophisticated nature of your question shows me that you are already way ahead of the game. Knowing that first time donors need to be treated differently from long time donors is a lesson far too few organizations have learned. The most important strategy for getting any donor, but especially first time donors, to give again is an authentic thank you note. While each note does not need to be handwritten, it does need to have some personalization. More important, the note needs to have some new information: "just today I learned…." Or "Your gift helped bring our campaign to a successful end, which means we can …." Or, "I am excited to share the news with you that…." For new donors I also like to call and say something like, "Welcome to the community of people who make … possible" or "I am so happy to welcome you to our community of support…." In other words, some language that shows that you know they are giving for the first time.
Unless you are a membership organization or doing some kind of community organizing, you don't really need a full scale welcome packet for new donors. A bookmark with your logo, mission and some information is easy and inexpensive. The most important element, after a good thank you, is follow-up. The eNewsletter, more appeals, invitations to events or to offer opinions, are all good ways to insure that donors stay with you. (Remember also that most people who give one gift do not give again, so don't worry if you only keep 20-40 percent of first time donors. That is normal.) If you are a membership or organizing group, then a 'welcome packet' will be appropriate and will describe ways people can engage in your work.
In the end, you have to keep in mind that donors are not drought tolerant succulents that need little attention. Although more attention is more labor intensive, it is also creates loyalty and loyal donors talk to other people and invite them to be donors. Weighing the life time value of the donor against the effort it takes to make them feel welcome in the first place may help you decide what resources to devote to first time donors.
Good luck.
~Kim Klein

I wanted to personally tell you how much I enjoyed participating in this year's postcard poetry event. I feel my work has grown from where it was a year ago.
I am coordinating the reading of Strange Fruit at Elliott Bay on November 17th. Could you plug the reading? There will be a box for dictionary donations for Books to Prisoners at the reading. I am personally delivering the dictionaries to Books to Prisoners.
If someone wants to donate dictionaries in good condition before the reading, there are two local coffee shops that are accepting donations— Katy's Corner Cafe at 20th and E. Union and Cortona Cafe at 2425 E. Union.
Sally Hedges-Blanquez
Books To Prisoners is a Seattle-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to foster a love of reading behind bars. We believe that books are tools for education, empowerment, and connection. We provide books to more than 10,000 people in prisons across the country every year, and the #1 request made to our organization is always for a dictionary. Our organization relies on donated books; with more than 2,000 annual requests for dictionaries, we unfortunately fall chronically short of being able to provide this basic instrument for self-help to all who are in need.
The Strange Fruit reading is for a new anthology of poems AGAINST the Death Penalty. Sarah Zale is the co-editor and the poster looks like this:
Your humble narrator has a poem in said collection, so buy two copies and give one to a prisoner or a friend.

ACCRINGTON boss John Coleman thinks football needs to change to avoid further situations like those at Bolton Wanderers and Bury.
The Stanley manager can sympathise with the two clubs, who will both start the League One season on minus 12 points, after the Reds found themselves in a similar situation.
With Bury's season opener against MK Dons tomorrow suspended, the EFL will decide today if the Shakers' game at the Wham Stadium on August 10 can go ahead.
Colemans admits he feels most for the fans of the two clubs with Bolton being in the Premier League in the not-too-distant past and Bury celebrating promotion just a matter of months ago.
Stanley were founded in 1891 but folded in 1966. A new Stanley was re-formed two years later and returned to the Football League in 2006.
The club is now in a stable financial situation under the ownership of local businessman Andy Holt.
"We've been in those situations before, it's easy to criticise teams, but we've been in the situation where we've found it difficult and running a football club is very difficult," Coleman said.
"All we can do is wish them all the best and hope that they pull through and get playing football.
"No one wants to see teams suffer, no one wants to see fans suffer, who ultimately, do most of the suffering.
"I think football has to change the way it's structured if we're going to avoid a repeat of this. They won't be the only two teams who are feeling the pinch and heading towards financial trouble.
"There'll be lots of other teams who we don't know about yet."
Bolton were one of the founder members of the Football League while Bury have a 134-year history in the game and Coleman admits it's hard to believe the situation both clubs find themselves in.
"Especially a club of Bolton's stature who have been in the Premier League and you see their ground," he said.
"It's hard to take and hard to believe. Then you've got Bury, who last year were celebrating promotion and then the rug has been pulled from underneath them."

HarborCenter is a hockey-themed mixed-use development under partial construction in Buffalo, New York. The building occupies a full 1.7 acre city block formerly known as the Webster Block, directly across from and connected to the First Niagara Center and the Erie Canal Harbor or "Canal Side".[1] The building is also located near the southern terminus of the Erie Canal Harbor (Metro Rail) station. The building is part of an overall effort to improve the Buffalo Waterfront.
The beginning concept for the building, specifically the dual ice rinks and parking garage combo came after Buffalo Sabres chief development officer Cliff Benson led a group of team officials to Washington, DC to view the Washington Capitals practice facility, the Kettler Capitals Iceplex.[2] The complex, which is built on top of a parking garage, has seating for 1,200, a training center, proshop, and is home to many area teams. This trip helped the group form their ideas. The hotel and restaurant concepts were later added to the plan by Terry Pegula's wife, Kim Pegula.[3]
Construction of the 20-story HarborCenter began in March 2013,[4] the same month the Webster Block was purchased from the City of Buffalo for $2.2 million.[5] The building is being built by Mortenson Construction with ICON Venue Group serving as the project manager.[6] The building's hockey rink portion topped out on June 25, 2014, as the last structural beam for the hotel was put into place. The project is mostly complete after the rinks and restaurants opened on October 31 and November 6, 2014. The hotel is scheduled to be completed and opened in Summer 2015.[7]
HarborCenter is being financed by Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula.[8] The building contains indoor parking for 750 vehicles, and features two NHL regulation indoor ice rinks on the building's seventh floor, one with an 1,800-seat capacity and the other with a 150-seat capacity. IMPACT Sports Performance owned by the Pegulas operates HARBORCENTER's 5,000 square foot, high performance off-ice training facility located on the buildings 6th floor. The building also contains a classroom and RapidShot Hockey Training System.
The development is one of the most expensive for any privately funded single building in the city of Buffalo history. The project is designed to achieve LEED certification, with a goal of LEED Silver. The building was pledged by Pegula and others involved upon obtaining the property to open at the time by September 2014 making it one of the faster projects in the area.
Commercial TenantsEdit
The building will contain a 205-room full service Marriott hotel operated by Shaner Hotels, plus retail and restaurant space.[9] A two floor 716 Food and Sport restaurant, built in design much like Real Sports Bar and Grill in Maple Leaf Square in Toronto opened on October 31, 2014. Also, HarborCenter features a flagship Tim Hortons that pays tribute to Tim Horton, the Buffalo Sabres, and the former Buffalo Memorial Auditorium. [10] The restaurant opened on October 30, 2014. A Statue of Tim Horton was dedicated across the street the same day. The building also contains a pro shop.
Buffalo based New Era Cap Company will offer cap customization within The Rinks.[11]
The building will also have storefronts along Main Street for smaller street front tenants which are expected to be leased out. The first store that will open is Red Siren, which is a women's specialty store. It will feature gifts, jewelry, leather and clothing not currently found in the Buffalo area. Red Siren is expected to open in the Summer of 2015, around the time when the Mariott HarborCenter Hotel opens. [12]
In May 2015, it was announced that Advanced Care Physical Therapy will lease space inside Impact Sports Performance, located inside the HarborCenter. This will provide a complete range of sports medicine services to athletes and employees who use the facility. [13] In addition, local businesses Fowler's Chocolates, Clayton's Toys & Gifts, and Modern Nostalgia will fill the remaining retail space. [14]
Hockey TenantsEdit
The HarborCenter's two ice rinks, known collectively as The Rinks, is the home of the Canisius Golden Griffins, an NCAA Division I college hockey program in Buffalo, and the Buffalo Jr. Sabres.,[15] also make this building their home with both the Griffins and Junior Sabres playing in the larger rink 1 known as First Niagara Rink at HarborCenter with separate dedicated dressing rooms, as will Erie Community College Kats's NJCAA program. The Rinks are also the home to the Academy of Hockey and the HarborCenter Cup as well as serving as the Buffalo Sabres practice facility. The rinks were opened on October 31st, 2014 with the first of back to back games between Canisius and Ohio State which resulted in a 3–3 tie, and games involving the Buffalo Jr. Sabres 16U and 18U teams. The proposed National Women's Hockey League will include a team at HarborCenter, known as the Buffalo Beauts.[16]
On August, 18th 2014, it was announced that the National Hockey League would hold their annual Scouting Combine at HarborCenter in 2015 and 2016 moving the event from Toronto.[17] The 2016 NHL Entry Draft will also be held in Buffalo, with the HarborCenter expected to play a role. According to the league, it is a major reason why Buffalo was chosen for the draft.
The 2015 IPC Ice Sledge Hockey World Championships were held at HarborCenter in April and May 2015.

Train Your Dog With A Few Easy Tips
Are you frustrated by how your dog acts? If that is true, your pup needs more training. A little bit of extra time invested will help ensure you get the pet you want. The following piece will give you advice on how to train your dog properly.
Ensure your dogs are active and getting a lot of exercises. Almost all dogs have short attention spans. If your dog is not receiving enough mental stimulation, it may not respond well to training. When your dog is exercised and is happy, training will be easier. A long walk or a brisk run are great ways to get rid of some of your dog's excess energy.
By training your dog, you are helping him to become a rule follower. Many times, owners feel that since their animals have gone through training your dog, they can just forget about it. Pets, just like humans, need to be reminded of the rules now and then. Your dog must follow the rule system strictly.
Teaching any dog how to roll over can be pretty easy. Make sure you've got a few tasty treats handy before beginning. The first step is to get the dog to lay down. Then, put a treat close to the floor near the side of the dog's head, and gradually raise it over its head to the opposite side. His nose will follow the treat, naturally making him roll over. While he rolls, say "roll over" and repeat this action until he is able to roll over with only the command. Be patient while he masters this trick. He will be a star once he does!
You need to leash train your dog. This will ensure both his safety and yours when you take him on walks.
Begin your canine training session with something that your dog will be able to learn easily. You will both get instant gratification and establish a good foundation which you and your dog can build on. This way you will have better results throughout the course of your training experience.
Dedicating the time needed to train your pet properly will provide you with a lifetime of joy and companionship. Right now, you might feel as though your dog may never behave. But if you continue training it, you will eventually see impressive results. Remember each of these ideas as you set out to train your pet and you will be more likely to realize your goals.
