About half of all Americans have either diabetes or pre-diabetes,
according to a new report. And experts in the field say that's good news.
because the study finds that after two decades of linear growth, the
prevalence of diabetes in the United States has finally started to

obesity and Type 2 diabetes remain major clinical and public health
problems in the United States, the current data provide a glimmer of
hope," wrote William Herman and Amy Rothberg of the University of
Michigan in an article accompanying the paper.
Herman and
Rothberg, who were not involved in the research, said the study suggests
the implementation of food, nutrition and physical activity policies
and regulations by federal, state and local governments as well as other
efforts to curb obesity and diabetes have finally started to pay off.

study is based on data collected by the National Health and Nutrition
Examination Survey. The researchers report that from 2011 to 2012
between 12% and 14% of Americans had diabetes, depending on what
criteria were used to diagnose them. This percentage has remained
stable since 2008.
The research team also found that the
proportion of people who had diabetes without knowing it decreased from
40.3% in 1988-1994 to 31% in 2011-2012.
A previous version of this post incorrectly stated the beginning year in the period 1988-1994 as 1998.
This decrease, however, was not seen across all racial and ethnic groups.
proportion of Mexican Americans who were undiagnosed was higher than
their white and black counterparts, and this percentage had not
decreased over time. The authors suggest this result may be due to a
lower percentage of Mexican Americans with health insurance, leading to
lower access to healthcare.
The authors also found that Asian people were more likely than any other racial group to have undiagnosed diabetes.
prevalence of people with pre-diabetes has grown over time. Previous
studies show that between 1990 and 2002, 29% of people had pre-diabetes.
Between 2007 and 2010, that number grew to 36%. In 2011 and 2012, the
authors report the number grew slightly to 37% to 38%.
that means that in 2011-2012, 49% to 52% of the entire U.S. population
is estimated to have diabetes or pre-diabetes.
I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Nov., 1999. Surgery and radioactive iodine followed. In Dec., 2006, I found a lump in my neck that turned cancerous. Shortly thereafter, it was found to have metastasized throughout my body and to be untreatable and inoperable. I started a clinical trial with Sutent (sunitinib) since Apr., 2007. In Nov., 2013, the tumors began growing again and I was removed from the Sutent Clinical Trial. I started a clinical trial taking of CEDIRANIB on 04/09/14.

"Commitment to accountability, transparency and lay involvement"
By May 31, 2020, all dioceses are required to establish, a public, accessible and reliable system for reporting crimes of clergy sexual abuse and any cover-up of abuse. This includes establishing a 3rd party reporting system to address potential misconduct by Cardinals, Bishops, Auxiliary Bishops and Superiors. With the understanding that the implementation of a national system is months away, the bishops of the Boston Province (MA, NH, VT, ME) have agreed to act immediately and to utilize an independent 3rd party reporting system recently established to address misconduct allegations of bishops in the Boston Province.
This confidential and independent system is designed exclusively for the reporting of the personal misconduct of a Cardinal, Bishop or Auxiliary Bishop of the dioceses in the Boston Province. This may include allegations of sexual abuse, other criminal conduct, personal misconduct which is not criminal, or gross negligence in the function of their ministry. The system is independent from any of the Boston Province websites and intranets. It is specific to the conduct of bishops.
This webpage provides an option for anyone submitting information to remain anonymous. All reports will be reviewed by Office of the Cardinal Archbishop and forwarded to the appropriate authorities as necessary and to the Apostolic Nuncio, the Holy See's diplomatic representative to the United States.
If you wish to file a complaint unrelated to the conduct of bishops, please contact the relevant diocese to learn the most appropriate person(s) to submit information.
See the EthicsPoint FAQs for more information.
You may use either of the following two methods to submit a report:
After you complete your report you will be assigned a unique code called a "report key." Write down your report key and password and keep them in a safe place. After 5-6 business days, use your report key and password to check your report for feedback or questions.

House of Vision | FORM / Kouichi Kimura Architects
'House of Vision' is located at the foot of a hill where the fields and houses are mixed together.
The client's desire was "to live while feeling nature without being bothered by looks from the neighbors". To make the best use of the lot, the planning was designed to enclose the lot with the trench extended beyond the building, and to provide an interior courtyard as the center.
The enclosed space clips images from the surrounding landscapes, creating a comfortable outdoor living room that is not exposed to the outside world. The position of each opening is carefully designed in consideration of "what to take in and what to conceal". Specifically the position and form of the opening of the living/dining room with kitchen on the second floor is most effective in concert with the interior.
In this house, the most important theme is "how to close/open" in the open environment.

Over at The London Times, the author took exception to Catholic officials trying to block some leaders from receiving communion during Pope Francis' installation mass. She laments:
The Catholic Church portrays itself hypocritical…[It] is the most powerful religion in the world today but by making itself seem above others creates more harm then benefit.
The hypocrisy The London Times underscores during Pope Francis' short tenure has roots in his election. On March 12, the Archdiocese of Los Angeles settled four clergy sexual abuse cases for roughly $10 million stemming from allegations by victims that alleged former priest Michael Baker repeatedly molested them in the 1970s. Baker committed these acts under the watch of former Cardinal Roger Mahony, and many people are rightfully up in arms over the fact Mahony allowed this heinous criminal to continue as a priest. Disgraced, Mahony retired in 2011, was stripped of his diocesan duties in January, and formally rebuked in March. Somehow, the history of covering up for a pedophile did not prevent Mahony from continuing to play a significant role within the Catholic Church on a global level though. The day the settlement was reached, Mahony was at the Vatican helping to elect the Pope, the holy leader of one of the world's largest religions.
By itself, the above set of circumstances paint a disturbing picture, but they are not the end of the story. Not only did Mahony's actions reveal a flawed character, but his words also did the same. Mahony took to his blog to complain about being made a "scapegoat" in the church scandal. The ex-Cardinal believes he is somehow a victim in this episode, a horrific diminishment of the true trauma Baker's victims experienced. He is not a scapegoat, but a tacit accomplice who bucked all moral and ethical obligations to protect a fellow clergymen.
Furthermore, the church's statement after the settlement only worsened the situation. " The Archdiocese has always taken full responsibility for Michael Baker's actions, it was just a matter of agreeing on a number. We're happy to move past this," said J. Michael Hennigan, an attorney for the Los Angeles Archdiocese. Taken full responsibility? Move past this? Mahony continues to distance himself from the situation, and it's impossible for the victims to suddenly forget the abuses they were subjected to simply because the Catholic Church cut them a check. This kind of public relations garbage is to be expected from slimy organizations or individuals trying to save face, but we should expect more from the Catholic Church.
At the Papal Conclave, Mahony posted several blog posts about his wonderful experience. He also suggested that he would pray for his critics, a sizable portion of people who vehemently opposed his attendance in Rome. Quite frankly, Mahony should spend his time more wisely. Instead of praying for his detractors, he needs to reflect introspectively to understand why he has failed miserably to conduct himself in a morally acceptable matter becoming of reputable individual.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A local school employee needs help. She's experiencing major health problems but has no insurance.
Many of us have fond memories of our school days. We remember classmates, teachers, support staff, even the custodians. They're all invested in the success of each student.
April Hibler is our play maker. She wants to help Mrs. Nelson.
"Mrs. Nelson, she is our custodian, and she is the heartbeat of our school. She gives us a clean environment and is always in a great mood and smiling. But she's been having some health problems. She doesn't have any health insurance," Hibler said.
Actually, Mrs. Nelson just got out of the hospital.
"We're praying for her, keeping her in high spirits and we just want to help her any way we can," Hibler said.
It's time to 'Pass It On.'
We're passing on $300 from News Channel 3 and an additional $300 from our anonymous donor in Nesbit, Mississippi. We found Mrs. Nelson outside of the school.
She might not be ready but these teachers are.
"You ready pumpkin? Hold your hand out. One, two, three, four five, six. We love you," Hibler said.
"Thank y'all so much," Mrs. Nelson said.
Mrs. Nelson has obviously touched many lives.

Geezer Of The Month
Paul McGann has played some of the most iconic characters of the last 15 years - the lead character in The Monocled Mutineer, I in Withnail and I and as the eighth doctor in Dr Who. Now UK Drama is devoting a season to some of his more recent TV accomplishment. Elise Harris talked to him, and tried not to get too gushy.
Paul McGann is a bit of a chameleon. His career has been constantly surprising, and fairly consistently successful, but as he says himself, his roles are never the same.
Im March, 2001 UK Drama showed Paul's lawyer series
, along with
Nice Town
Nature Boy
"I'm geezer of the month or something, that s a bit swanky isn t it? " He says he enjoyed making Nice Town, the tale of a couple's struggle with infertility, and their novel approach to dealing with it.
Nice Town
, that's a good one. That's a funny old one. It's a strange old thing, but it's great. I remember well that we had a laugh because it was so bizarre. It s got a really good writer, a fella called Guy Hibbert. He writes very off-the-wall stuff, but quietly off-the-wall - it's very English. You have to see it twice, then you're hang on a minute - this is really spooky and weird . It's very clever. "
He's managed to make a mark in both film and TV, but Paul thinks there is something special about the small screen.
"Telly's powerful, telly can be great - it can be the best medium of all. I think in England we should look to it because we re really good at it."
There won t be another series of
, " They turned it down, disappointingly. Apparently the appeal wasn't strong enough to convince them that it was worth having another go. It's a shame. I fancied having another crack at it."
He says the same thing happened with
Doctor Who
: "It was in North America - not enough people watched, and the Americans are brutal in their business dealings. I think Fox and Universal were slightly frustrated at the time because they knew for a fact there were millions of die-hard fans out there who would have watched it anyway, but America's America and if you come second then that's it. "
Of course to some people he will always be one of the Doctors.
"Once you accept the mantle that's it - that's it forever. It's like being a pope - you re just there you re in the dynasty. It is amusing sometimes. And sometimes it isn't."
The Monocled Mutineer
, the series that launched his career, is one of his favourites, but
The Hanging Gale
which Paul and his brothers co-produced and starred in is very high on the list. "When we did
The Hanging Gale
, working together was a joy - it was easy - there s no professional rivalry. It would be silly because we re not even doing the same thing.
He's got a few things coming out soon. Most notably as David Talbot in the sequel to
Interview With The Vampire
- the 1994 Tom Cruise blockbuster.
" It's called
Queen of the Damned
. I play a fella called Talbot. In the book he s some 60 year old. America being America they couldn t handle some old git - because old gits aren't in - so they got some slightly younger git - me."
In the last few months he's also worked on a modern day reworking of
King Lear
with Richard Harris.
" I've got loads of stuff in the pipeline. I did one of those
things - that was such a laugh, I enjoyed that."
Perhaps most surprisingly he plays Andrew Morton (a writer still closely associated with his books about Princess Diana) in a film called
The Biographer
. He acknowledges he is a strange choice for the role.
"I don't look anything like Andrew Morton. It's terrible casting! We met on the set and I looked at him and he s like about a foot taller than me, he's got these glasses on and I'm thinking how did I get to play you".
"I tend not to stuff which is for one reason or the other very samey. Never playing the same thing twice - I don t know how I keep getting away with it."
Nature Boy, Fish, Our Mutual Friend and Nice Town were shown on UK Drama throughout February and March 2001. (interview conducted in December 2000)

A 22-year-old Jacksonville man pleaded guilty this week to being an accessory to a robbery and shooting death during a drug deal at a BP gas station because he was the driver.
Nicholas Justin Stoner came to police a day after the July 21 shooting at the Atlantic Boulevard gas station near Anniston Road. He told them he didn't know his friend 20-year-old Joseph Edward Tether was going to rob Nedzad Botonjic, also 20, when they met to buy marijuana from him. Botonjic fought back and was shot.
About a week later Tether was charged with murder, armed robbery and possession of a weapon by a felon. Stoner also had been charged with murder, but that was dropped in August.
Stoner pleaded guilty Tuesday and is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 25. Tether is awaiting trial.

It was a cultural explosion that still reverberates today. The 1920's Harlem Renaissance was a period of legendary creative output. A group of poets, writers, painters, sculptors, dancers and musicians that sprouted the likes of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston and W.E.B. Du Bois. According to Alain Locke, a writer, critic and teacher who became known as the "dean" of the Harlem Renaissance, the movement was a "spiritual coming of age" in which African Americans transformed "social disillusionment to race pride." Now a team of organizers and artists are bringing the Harlem Renaissance to Dallas.
With organizer and artist Niecee X at the helm, the QTPOC-focused pop-up Revolution Cafe & Bookstore will host Velvet: Nights in Harlem on Saturday, June 22 at The Speakeasy. The event is part of an effort to launch a summer series of Afro-centric and Afro-futuristic programming. Niecee X decided to launch the series with a Harlem Renaissance-inspired event after realizing parallels between our time and the Renaissance.
"A lot of artists are being seen because we're looking deep into the margins of society," Niecee X says. ""Folks like Lizzo and Frank Ocean are more popular and more accessible when they would have used to be on the margins. Things are becoming more eclectic, more inclusive.
But that inclusivity is not prevalent in Dallas. As with Revolution Cafe & Bookstore's other arts events, Niecee X hopes to provide a platform to others who often lack the local spotlight.
"A 1920s party is not what I want; I want something artsy, creative and mysterious," they say (Niecee X is non-binary and uses the pronoun "they.") "I wanted to curate a group that was intentionally queer, but not just sexually. Queer as in different, outside of what we usually get."
The organizer used their network to cultivate a group of artists that includes veterans and newcomers. Princess McDowell, a poet who has been writing and performing for 12 years, has missed events like Queerly Speaking, a poetry event previously held at the South Dallas Cultural Center. The event highlighted queer artists and artists of color, something McDowell believes Dallas sorely needs.
"I'm pretty selective about the performances I do, but when Niecee called, I knew I had to be a part of it," McDowell says. "It's the kind of thing we need."
Autumn McClain, a vocalist specializing in what she callas "trap jazz," concurs. The Greenwood, Mississippi, native has been searching for spaces to collaborate with other artists of color, but had yet to find anything until she learned about Velvet.
"Artists of color aren't getting love on the Dallas scene," she says. "That's why what Niecee is doing is so important."
McClain values the space Niecee and Revolution Cafe are giving artists of color, in part because she believes there are important stories that are not being told.
"Our stories are human stories," McClain says. "We need to talk about childhood trauma, and the PTSD people of color deal with every day. It's easy to get discouraged as an artist, but if your story can touch at least one person, you've made a difference."
Singer-songwriter Kerry D is excited about the opportunity to take the stage with fellow performers of color.
"The music scene has its moments where it's open, but it is also dominated by straight performers," he says. "This event brings queer people of color to the front, and it's not like other shows, where there's just music or just art. You can expect to see multiple art forms."
That includes poetry, spoken word, voguing, jazz, comedy and live painting. At some point, Niecee X hopes to have a jam session with everyone present. Their friend, singer Eye Moon The Experience, knows that Niecee's involvement means the event will be about so much more than art.
"Niecee is an activist focused on community," Eye Moon says. "So when Niecee selects someone, it's about more than art. Niecee is always thinking about the impact they can make."
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to the Observer's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Dallas's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
Niecee X hopes Velvet can become an ongoing series and help create the kind of community where artists can pool resources, attain venues and host recurring programming that spotlights people of color.
"Back then, art was supported and sustained," Niecee says, referring to the Harlem Renaissance. "Now, people are kinda out on their own in a way."
But for now, they are focused on Saturday's event, and the magic they hope happens when a diverse slate of performers unite for a night of creating.
"If you have a roomful of talented creators, something amazing is bound to happen."

Wileyfox Pro is the last one of a dying breed. The last Achilles standing. The last Windows-powered smartphone that you can find on the store shelves in 2019. And now when it's price has gone down, it's probably the best moment to snatch one for yourself. Before it becomes a museum curiosity.
Debuting in 2017, the device was priced at $257 (£199.99), which many thought to be an unpardonable robbery. However, in January 2019, the price tag went down to only $78 (£59.99). A pretty nice New Year's present, considering that the demand for the gadget saw a moderate rise throughout 2018.
But to be honest existence of Wileyfox Pro is already a miracle and insanity on its own, considering that Windows 10 Mobile support has been halted in 2017 and fully aborted in January of 2018. So is there any reason for this relic chimera to exist? Let's see.
What is it good for?
Wileyfox Pro is labeled as a business phone, according to the manufacturer. And just like almost all things that have "business" prefix in them, Wileyfox Pro makes a weak impression and leaves a bland aftertaste. Really, there's almost nothing to be loved about it.
The tech specifications can boast of:
- 16GB of expandable internal memory storage;
- 2 GB of Ram;
- Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor with 1.1GHz;
- 8MP rear camera/2MP front camera;
- Adreno 304 GPU for graphics;
- 5-inch HD display (Gorilla Glass 3);
- Micro SD/Micro Sim slots;
- Battery with 2100mAh.
It's an acceptable, but quite a humble tier, especially for the phone that used to cost $257. It has a decrepit micro-USB port, and it takes an eternity for the gadget to charge the battery. To use it successfully in the morning, you'll have to leave it all by itself absorbing the electric juice for the entire night.
The Gorilla Glass 3 display is resistant to slight scratches and even falling on the ground (to an extent). But at the same time, you can barely see what is going on this 720p screen, unless you're looking at it from the straight angle.
Performing a load of work, especially when running a couple of apps simultaneously, seems to be an impossible mission for Wileyfox Pro as well. Glitches, freezes, stuttering and the ominous "loading..." message will plague your workflow constantly. Which of course completely sabotages the "business phone" status of the gadget in question.
Another unavoidable drudgery is setting up all the Microsoft accounts: without them, you won't be able to download the last update patch, which wasn't preinstalled by Wileyfox. The process takes at least 1 hour (or even more) and demands truly satanic patience.
To top it all off, the battery life is short and miserable. Its "stamina" is limited to 1.5-2 hours of intensive work, after which it goes finally dead and can be reanimated only with another life-saving dosage of electricity.
On the brighter note, the phone is quite nice to touch and hold. You can operate it with just one hand. The plastic case is smooth and soundly built: it won't smash at least the first two times you drop it on the floor. Built-in access to Office 365 software and its components: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, etc. could make a great addition as well. If it wasn't for the costly fee — the cheapest package comes at $6.99 monthly ($69.99 annually).
Is it worth buying?
Considering how many defects and shortcomings the phone has and also the fact that its OS is completely out of support, the answer is: more likely no than yes. At least it is recommended to keep it as a backup/substitute phone in case your main gadget gets damaged.
The only redeemable qualities of Wileyfox Pro are its analogue control buttons under the display; its compact size good for holding in it in your palm; 8MP/2MP cameras, which are enough for some of the selfie-snappers and its budgeted price.
It will be a tough challenge to use Wileyfox Pro for business purposes and even a tougher one when it comes to entertainment, especially gaming. A big pile of popular Android apps won't be available. And the low technical performance of its hardware together with the dead operational system will make you want to search for an Android device of the same price. And that's the best what you can do.
Although the company claims that Wileyfox Pro isn't losing its "popularity" among consumers, the fact that the price was lowered that much says way more than any promo-statement. At the same time, the running joke in the community of smartphone enthusiasts says that Wileyfox will have to give out their Windows phones for free pretty soon. Storing units costs money too.
- Low price;
- Analogue buttons;
- One-hand size.
- Miserable performance;
- Unsupported OS;
- Weak battery;
- Outdated design;
- 2MP selfie camera;

NEW BRITAIN - It was a celebration of acronyms, of music and of art.
The New Britain Museum of American Art (NBMAA) hosted the Hartford Independent Chamber Orchestra for a concert Sunday.Members of HICO were joined by a guest vocalist from the Hartford Opera Theatre (HOT).
Soprano Michelle Fiertek sang with the guitar accompaniment of Thomas Schuttenhelm, who composed the piece.
Schuttenhelm also composed the program's finale, a piece inspired by one of the works inside the museum, artist Kim Keevers' abstract, "3062 B." Keevers' work is currently on display in NBMAA's "The Beyond" exhibition.
"I think a literary theory can help us come to terms with the abstract," Schuttenhelm said of his inspiration. "It's more of a second-order narrative. There is very little melody in this piece; it's mostly harmonies. Just like in Keevers' work, there is very little shape."
The event also represented HICO's world premiere of its newly formed brass quintet.
Executive Director Cathryn Cummings thanked the large audience for coming out to the concert on what was one of the first warm days this year. The NBMAA's Stanley Works Center was packed with at least 120 people.
"I'm happy you're all here," Cummings said. "We are really lucky to partner with such great people and organizations including the New Britain Museum."
As a former member of the U.S. Navy's Music Program, Cummings performed for Presidents George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter.
HICO comprises an ensemble of 16 accomplished musicians, who, like Cummings, are based in Greater Hartford. They perform under the baton of Artistic Director Daniel D'Addio, a trumpeter and conductor with a long history in music.
D'Addio is professor of music at Central Connecticut State University. He also serves on the faculty of the Hartt School Community Division and is music director of the Connecticut Youth Symphony.

More than 2,000 alleged gang members have been arrested across New York City in the last 18 months. Police say the takedowns have helped to drive the number of murders to historic lows. But there are questions whether police and prosecutors are unfairly sweeping up low-level offenders in the process. NY1 criminal justice reporter Dean Meminger has more in Part Two of his series on the city's gang crackdown.
Going after violent street gangs, as if they were the mafia by using federal racketeering and conspiracy charges. Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim defends the tactic.
"They do have individuals who are high-up and people who are lower down. There are folks who commit crimes at the direction of senior gang members. And so the idea that those organizations, those gangs are at not organizes is just not factually correct," Kim said.
The number of arrests has been surging - 2,200 alleged gang members taken into custody in the past 18 months.
And with arrests rising, prosecutors are increasingly using the federal Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, or RICO. It permits prosecution of gang members for being part of an enterprise that commits a series of crimes.
CUNY Law school professor Babe Howell says these RICO cases are too far reaching.
"The central players, the actual shooter, the actual drug seller, we don't need conspiracy, we don't need RICO. There's long sentences associated with those offenses," Howell said.
The problem, Howell says, is that with a RICO charge bottom players in a gang can be tied to serious crimes - even murder - committed by other gang members. Advocates and activists say hitting everyone with a murder conspiracy makes it appear as if all of them are among the worst criminals in the city. Professor Howell says conspiracy charges can even be brought against people who have already been convicted and served time for a past crime.
"A conspiracy charge is not barred by double jeopardy. So, if I sold drugs 5 years ago when I was 16, I was arrested I took a plea. I got a sentence or probation I am now in college. They can swoop back and charge that as part of a conspiracy," Howell said.
Taylonn Murphy's daughter Chicken Murphy who was a standout basketball player was shot dead six years ago in a Harlem gang war. His son Taylonn Jr. was arrested in 2014 in a bust of more than 100 gang members. Murphy is an outspoken critic of the large gang takedowns.
"My daughter was killed due to an altercation bewtween two housing developments and I think it is very unfair that you have these kids indicted on conspiracy to commit murder when it was two misguided individuals that actualy committed the act. It was not the whole Manhattan Avenue that committed the act," Murphy added.
NYPD Chief of Crime Control Strategies Dermot Shea doesn't see it that way.
"The misconception that you hear is that people were swept up in this gang takedowns, could not be further from the truth. Intelligence driven, data driven, working with our partners, we know exactly who is going to be arrested. We know exactly what charges they are going to be charged with," Shea said.
The advocates also complain about a common tactic, saying it's unfair for law enforcement to target low-level offenders to get them to turn against gang members responsible for the real violence.
Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim has this brutaly honest advice for gangs.
"Those who you think are your brothers in your gangs when they are confronted with criminal charges many times they will flip and cooperate and tell the truth about what you did. And you don't want to be on the other side of that type of prosecution or relationship either," Kim said.

morgan's golden egg
Last evening I learned about the two new bar complaints against Jose Baez; tonight I've learned that the video deposition that the Orlando Morgan and Morgan law firm conducted of the disguised Casey Anthony is going to be released to the public very soon.
The media is clamorous over this video, despite the fact that Casey Anthony's only response during the deposition was to repeat her Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. That doesn't sound very interesting, but since this will be the first we've seen of her since being released from jail, there is interest from the public.
Of course, Morgan and Morgan, who are sucking the Zenaida Gonzales case for every last ounce of media attention they can get, will surely use this video to their advantage. Will their press conference on this issue be "first at five?"
In regards to that civil case, I do have a problem with it. The problem I have with Zenaida Gonzales possibly profiting from a situation in which she claims her good name was sullied, is really a stretch. Granted, she lost her job as a result, hence her income – through no fault of her own. But, now that her name and face is commonly seen in the media, infers that Zenaida is not really concerned about being over-exposed in the media. She is now completely recognizable.
She will no longer be able to enjoy the favor of anonymity in the Orlando area. And, isn't her anonymity part of her complaint?
As a result of her law suit, and the dogged determination of Morgan and Morgan, her face and her name now ensures her notoriety.
Her claim that she was fired because her employer though she could be "the" kidnapper of Caylee Anthony, always seemed weak to me. If she was fired from her job as a result of being falsely accused, the agency to heal that issue is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). They would have ensured she regained her job.
You'd think if she was really harmed by her good name being associated with the Anthony case, you'd never know it now. The visibility that the Morgan and Morgan law firm has provided her ensures she will be always be exclusively aligned with the case. No more anonymity.
I can't really put my finger on it, but there is something disingenuous about the big and powerful Morgan and Morgan firm (Former Governor Charlie Crist is employed there), going to bat for this small civil case. No doubt the work they've done up to this point has been very expensive – I'd imagine their rates are not cheap! The transparency of what Morgan and Morgan is really after couldn't be more clear – I guess that's what bothers me.
The media attention and name recognition for Morgan and Morgan is golden.
Well, they act as if they've laid the golden egg, anyway.

Fathers who take the lead parent role. I have mixed feelings about this, on the one hand good for him and his wife and kids. On the other why are the thoughts and feelings about lead parenting more valid coming from a man than from a woman? Men need to man up, yes, equal parenting is hard, but so many men I know view their domestic tasks as 'helping' their partners, not just what adults do. My Ma used to say that women can have a career, children and a successful marriage but only two of the three. Certainly that was her experience although I once she had children with my Dad a successful marriage was out of the question, but that was about his issues, not hers. It troubles me that two income families are a necessity for most couples nowadays and that still seems to be the case.

First, good for you, you've found something you like doing in the midst of difficult circumstances.

Don't, for the love of God, assume that because you've found purpose in running that would work for others. My friend Jenny is a running fanatic and has written much (some of it even for the Guardian) about how running is helping her through chemo and cancer treatment, but she understands running works for her but might not for other people. Tina did not run, but being with people, being interested in them seemed to work for her. For other people, it's other things, I suspect I would get through something like that on a wave of Georgette Heyer, whatever it was I wouldn't be so bloody patronising about it.

Christian convert released from jail
KABUL — Under international pressure, Afghan officials have freed an Afghan man who had been jailed since May and faced the prospect of the death penalty for converting from Islam to Christianity.

Arrests Have Been Made in the Hacking of Washington D.C. Police CCTV Network
By Evan Stewart, Contributor
Two individuals, a man and woman, have been taken into custody in London after a search warrant lead to information regarding the hacking of storage devices used by the D.C. police to record data from surveillance cameras on January 19th, one day before the presidential inauguration.
The names of the suspects have not been released. Reports indicate that both the male, from Britain, and female, from Sweden, are both 50 years of age.
According to reports from the Washington Post, the hack seemed to be an attempt at extortion. This attack included 127 out of 187 network video recorders in the D.C. public area. Officials did not believe this incident would have any cause for concern for the public regarding their safety.
No ransom was ever paid in conjunction with the incident. Devices were taken offline, the malicious software was removed and the systems were restored.

Over the last decade, the IT landscape has shifted dramatically. CRM software is delivered from the cloud instead of on-prem. File storage is being delivered by Dropbox™ and Box™. Accounting software by online players such as Xero and Quickbooks Online.
Every legacy, on-prem piece of software is being reviewed and analyzed for whether it is a fit in a go forward, cloud-first world.
One area that had not been impacted by this move to the cloud, until recently, was Microsoft® Active Directory®. But just as file storage and accounting software has moved to the cloud, today, cloud directory services are taking over from their on-prem counterparts.
This blog post is giving you three reasons to replace Active Directory with Directory-as-a-Service®.
#1 Mixed Platform Environments –
Today's IT environment is not homogenous Microsoft Windows® as it was fifteen years ago. Organizations today are leveraging BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) programs and enabling their users with whatever devices they choose. Macs® and Linux® devices are extremely popular as evidenced by data that suggests only one in five devices is now Windows [Forbes]. Unfortunately, management tools such as AD struggle with Mac and Linux devices. That has IT admins wondering why they would use a directory service that only works with 20% of their device population.
#2 Move to the Cloud –
Just about every organization is making the leap to the cloud. Whether that is using Microsoft Office 365™, G Suite™ (formerly Google Apps for Work), AWS®, or web applications, the move to the cloud is a freight train and there is no stopping it. Even organizations that have strict compliance requirements are figuring out ways to leverage cloud infrastructure and applications. It's no wonder then as more of an IT infrastructure goes to the cloud that IT admins are working to replace Active Directory with a cloud-hosted directory service.
#3 Avoid Microsoft Lock-In –
After many decades of Microsoft lock-in, the past few years have maybe been the first time in the modern computer age that organizations don't need to be locked in to Windows-based platforms. With MacOS®, iOS, Android, Linux, and more emerging as viable alternatives to Microsoft platforms, there is no reason for IT organizations to get sucked back into the Microsoft vortex. Smart, modern organizations are leveraging Microsoft where appropriate, but leaving themselves open to other solutions that may better match their business. A key part of Microsoft's lock-in strategy has been AD. By controlling the platforms and applications that an organization can manage, Microsoft was able to push their agenda. By looking for alternatives to Active Directory, IT organizations are becoming more independent.
Replace Active Directory
As IT organizations look to replace Active Directory, many are turning to Directory-as-a-Service. Emerging as the only significant viable alternative to AD, this cloud hosted directory service is independent and open. As a unified cloud directory, it works with all major platforms and treats them equally. Macs and Linux are effectively equivalent to Windows. AWS, Azure®, and Google Compute Engine can all be controlled from the same virtual identity provider. G Suite and Office 365 are seamlessly integrated.
If you would like to learn more about these three reasons to replace Microsoft Active Directory, drop us a note. Or, alternatively, give Directory-as-a-Service a try for yourself. Your first 10 users are free forever.

The primary aim of this study was to develop an interactive Internet-based program (WeBREATHe: Web-Based Respiratory Education About Tobacco and Health) to train pediatric respiratory therapists and nurses to provide brief, hospital-based tobacco cessation interventions to parents of pediatric patients. The WeBREATHe program was based on a Phase I prototype which was evaluated with 50 pediatric respiratory therapists and nurses.
In Phase II, the investigators redesigned and expanded the program with input from 50 educators, nurses and respiratory therapists from Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Then the investigators evaluated the Phase II program in a randomized trial in which 215 respiratory therapists and nurses from two large, urban children's hospitals were randomly assigned within hospital to either the Intervention (Training) Condition, or to a Delayed Treatment (Training) Control condition.
Participants' demographic and tobacco use history were measured at baseline, and tobacco cessation intervention behaviors, attitudes, knowledge, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy regarding delivery of a tobacco cessation intervention were measured at baseline, 1 week post-training, and at 3 months post-training. User satisfaction measures were also collected at 1 week post-training from Intervention Condition participants. The investigators hypothesized that participants in the Intervention Condition would have increased tobacco cessation behaviors, positive attitudes and self-efficacy, and decreased perceived barriers than participants i the Delayed-Treatment Control Condition.
Following evaluation, the investigators developed a final version of the interactive training program and created the administrative infrastructure for a marketable product.

No Intervention: Control (Delayed Training) Condition
Participants in this condition were assessed at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months post-enrollment, and were provided access to the WeBREATHe training website upon completion of their 3-month assessment.
Experimental: Intervention (Training) Condition
In this condition, participants used the WeBREATHe training program website for 1 week, and completed assessments at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months post-training.
Behavioral: WeBREATHe Training Program
The WeBREATHe Training Program is a web-based, interactive training program to teach pediatric respiratory therapists, nurses and nurse practitioners how to help their patients' parents to quit smoking.
- Performance of Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist and Arrange Behaviors [ Time Frame: 3 months post-enrollment ]
14 items measured on a 5-point Likert scale of frequency. Ask = asking all patients' parents about tobacco use and documenting use in the patients' charts.
Advise = discussing health hazards of tobacco use and giving direct advice to quit.
Assess = determining parents' level of readiness to quit. Assist = discussing strategies or techniques to quit, setting a specific date to quit, discussing pharmacotherapy for tobacco cessation, giving written self-help materials to tobacco users.
Arrange = discussing local tobacco cessation resources and making a referral to a tobacco quit line.
- Attitudes towards provision of tobacco cessation interventions [ Time Frame: 3 months post-enrollment ]9 items. Level of agreement measured on a 5-point Likert scale on 9 statements measuring attitudes towards provision of tobacco cessation interventions to patients' parents in pediatric settings. For example, "It is appropriate for pediatric RTs and RNs to assess and document their patients' exposure to secondhand smoke (e.g., family members' tobacco use)."
- Perceived Barriers [ Time Frame: 3 months post-enrollment ]7 items measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Participants rate the level of routine barriers to provision of tobacco cessation interventions in pediatric settings, (e.g., lack of training, lack of time, lack of resources).
- Self-Efficacy [ Time Frame: 3 months post-enrollment ]6 items measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Participants rate their agreement to statements of perceived self-efficacy to perform Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist and Arrange behaviors (e.g., "I can ask my patients' parents about their smoking.")

Portrait median
The median trick with portraits. I deliberately resized and picked ones with about the same figure-to-frame proportions, and still we learn two things:
1. I do not have a compositional formula and mix up poses pretty well.
2. I love alizarin crimson a little too much.
Another thing we learn is that all portraits converge on the Mona Lisa.

Damn Yankees
Temporarily Out of Stock Online
4.99 Out Of Stock
Although the term "supergroup" doesn't quite apply to the Damn Yankees, they did manage to rekindle the spirit of 1970s (and '80s) rock with each of their talents, at least to some extent. Damn Yankees took the unblemished, radio rock ballad "High Enough" to its deserving number three spot on the singles chart, with its power stemming from the oily melody and the made-to-order guitar playing of Ted Nugent. Both Tommy Shaw and Night Ranger's Jack Blades give "High Enough" an even quantity of lushness and might, which helped the album itself climb to number 13 and gain platinum status. "Coming of Age" is the album's second-best track, which has the band rocking out without going over the edge and sounding too contrived. The rest of the album finds the group reliving their glory days, which is to be expected, and tracks like "Runaway" and "Come Again" come through as avid little rockers. Only "Piledriver" and "Rock City" sound silly and pushed, most likely influenced by Nugent himself. As the 1990s approached, the slick sound of guitar rock may have been dwindling, but Damn Yankees do a fine job at keeping it alive at least for a little while. By the time their next album was released, the decade had no room for their brand of arena rock, which sounded more passé than ever before, despite a decent sounding single which kicked it off.

Courtyard hotel coming to Tahoe Reno Industrial Center
Executives scoping out the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center (TRIC) currently have to journey back into Reno/Sparks for a night's lodging. That's about to change.
A Courtyard by Marriott is scheduled to break ground in the center within the next couple months, according to Scott Nadle, chief operations officer for Galaxy Hotels Group, the management group for Sparks Hotels, LLC., which has the franchise for the hotel. The four-story, 125-room hotel will be constructed at USA Parkway and Electric Avenue.
Courtyard by Marriott is an upscale hotel tailored for the business traveler. It's a welcome addition to TRIC, where numerous high-profile distribution and manufacturing companies have opened facilities in recently years, including Tesla, Panasonic and Switch.
"We couldn't be more pleased," said Kris Thompson, transaction coordinator for L. Lance Gilman Commercial Real Estate. Lance Gilman is a principal owner and operator of the center.
Thompson said the engineering plans for the Courtyard are drawn and the construction contract is out to bid.
Artist's renderings are not yet available, Nadle said, but the hotel will break ground in the next couple months and be open by the end of 2017.
"We're very excited about moving into that region," he said.
Nadle, who is a second-generation hotelier, noted that the activity at TRIC made it an attractive investment for Galaxy Hotels Group.
The Courtyard will be constructed at 505 USA Parkway, across from the Golden Gate Auto-Truck Plaza and near the retail center. A trailer for Gilman's office has been at the site. The real estate company has temporarily set up shop at the Storey County complex in TRIC.
Thompson said that to have a hotel development with the status of Courtyard by Marriott is an indicator of the high profile of the industrial center.
"I think this is a wonderful development, wonderful news that Marriott Courtyard is coming to the (industrial) park," Thompson said. "It's probably our biggest need in the park."
Marriott's Courtyard brand has been around for 30 years and is specifically designed for the business traveler.
Courtyards have a number of required amenities including The Bistro, a fast-casual restaurant with a fresh seasonal menu, cocktails and wine, plus the 24/7 Market for grab-and-go meals.
It will also feature an indoor pool and spa, and a business center.
The guest rooms include plush bedding, movable workspace and other amenities that business travelers appreciate.
Galaxy Hotels Group also operates franchises for other hotels such as Hilton, Fairfield Marriott and Homewood Suites.
The company is also expanding to other areas of the Great Basin with a Hilton Home2 Suites planned in Elko, a Marriott Fairfield Inn & Suites in Winnemucca, plus a Homewood Suites near the Salt Lake City airport.

Marconi Stallions begin their season with a match at home to a tricky Rockdale City Suns outfit, while Sutherland Sharks look to pick up their first points of 2019 when they host Hakoah Sydney City East on Saturday afternoon.
Any of Blacktown City, Sydney Olympic or Rockdale could top the table at the end of Round 2, and all will fancy their chances of beginning the season with back-to-back wins.
APIA Leichhardt's match against Wollongong Wolves is postponed until April.
Match of the Round: Marconi Stallions v Rockdale City Suns, Saturday 5pm at Marconi Stadium
With their Round 1 fixture against APIA Leichhardt postponed until the end of the month, Marconi will get their 2019 season underway against Rockdale City Suns at Marconi Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
They face a Rockdale side on a high following an impressive 1-0 win away over Sydney United 58 last weekend. The visitors have a chance to start the year with two wins from two on the road, before travelling back to Ilinden Sports Centre for their first home match of the season next week.
Rockdale come into this match with both recent and historical form, having won 2-1 at Marconi Stadium in 2018. Marconi will want to hit the ground running in their first fixture of the season or risk being stung by Rockdale again.
Sutherland Sharks v Hakoah Sydney City East, 4.30pm at Seymour Shaw
Sutherland Sharks will come into their match against Hakoah Sydney City East on Saturday afternoon eager to make amends for a disappointing loss to Sydney Olympic last weekend.
The reigning champions won this fixture 2-1 in 2018, and will want a result this week to give them confidence of retaining their title this season.
Sharks welcome a difficult Hakoah side to Seymour Shaw; Neil Jablonski's men eking out a 1-1 draw with Sydney FC in Round 1. With Sutherland set to bring a number of players back from injury, the visitors face another test of their credentials this week.
Mt Druitt Rangers v Sydney Olympic, 5pm at Popondetta Park
Mt Druitt were reminded of the level of the opposition on their return to the competition last weekend. Rangers were dealt a 3-1 defeat by Blacktown City, and come into Round 2 in eleventh place.
They will be keen to make sure they don't get comfortable at the foot of the ladder, and have a terrific opportunity to make a statement in their first home game of the year when they take on Sydney Olympic at Popondetta Park.
Olympic travel west after stunning Sutherland Sharks at Belmore Sports Ground in the first round; two set pieces leading to a 2-1 win over last season's champions. A match against newly-promoted Mt Druitt must surely present itself as a golden chance to start the year with six points.
Blacktown City v Sydney United 58, 1pm at Lily Homes Stadium
Blacktown City top the table after Round 1, and will be eager to prove that they're capable of staying there.
They begin 2019 with two matches at home, and welcome Sydney United 58 to Lilys Homes Stadium in Round 2 after a 3-1 win over Mt Druitt Rangers last weekend.
Sydney United face a tough task to avoid suffering another loss this week, having gone down 1-0 to Rockdale last Sunday.
Next week they take on a rested Wollongong Wolves side, with their match against APIA Leichhardt postponed. They will be desperate to pick up points against Blacktown to get a foothold in 2019.
Manly United v Sydney FC, 1.30pm at Cromer Park
Manly won this fixture 4-1 when these two sides met at Cromer Park in 2018, and the hosts will be hoping they're able to repeat history when Sydney FC visit on Sunday afternoon.
Manly were dealt a 2-0 defeat by Wollongong Wolves last weekend, and will see this match as an ideal opportunity to properly get their season underway.
Sydney FC play their second consecutive match on the road at the start of the 2019 season, and should be satisfied with a result at Cromer Park before travelling back to Lambert Park next weekend.
They picked up a point from a 1-1 draw with Hakoah Sydney City East in Round 1, leaving last season's losing finalists still looking forward to their first win of the year.

Ernest H. Wood, MD, In Memoriam
Ernest H. Wood, MD, was the first chair of the Department of Radiology at N.C. Memorial Hospital.
Dr. Wood was recruited as the first chair of the Department of Radiology at N.C. Memorial Hospital in 1952.Although Dr. Wood died in 1975 at the young age of 60, his legacy, including his contributions to UNC Hospitals and the greater field of neuroradiology, lives on. For the past 15 years, the Annual Ernest H. Wood Lecture has been presented in his honor at UNC, by various visiting radiologists. His tenure at UNC and his involvement as one of 14 founding members of the American Society of Neuroradiology are just two of the many roles Dr. Wood held as an educator, a writer, a researcher and a leader. It is fitting, then, that such an accomplished and distinguished individual be an integral leader of UNC Hospitals from the very beginning.

Tavis Smiley
Yesterday afternoon, on the Sean Hannity radio talk show, I heard PBS's liberal talk show host Tavis Smiley actually defend the Muslim savages in Libya and Cairo, who attacked the U.S. embassy in Cairo and the U.S. consulate in Benghazi; and tortured, killed, and dragged the body of our ambassador to Libya, Christopher Stevens, through the streets. Those actions are acts of war.
Smiley said that Christians in America do the same thing whenever Hollywood has a movie or TV show that Christians find offensive.
That's a scurrilous lie. U.S. Christians write petitions, letters, emails to the TV network or company in question, and launch boycotts of the offending businesses. U.S. Christians had NEVER stormed an embassy, torn down and shredded any country's flag, set fire to any building, or tortured and killed people.
Despite Hannity repeatedly pointing out that it is not true, and that Christians respond at most with boycotts instead of with violence, Smiley wouldn't change his obnoxious stance.
I don't watch Smiley's show and I most certainly will NEVER EVER watch or buy anything he does. If I ever see his face or hear his voice, I will throw up.
He is despicable. Evil.

|The relation between rearing environment on the development of gut microbiota in juvenile tilapia
|Verdegem, M.C.J.; Giatsis, C.; Sipkema, D.; Smidt, H.; Heilig, G.H.J.; Verreth, J.A.J.
Aquaculture and Fisheries
|Publication type
|Abstract in scientific journal or proceedings
|Publication year
|The effect of rearing environment on water bacterial communities (BC) and the association with those present in the gut of Nile tilapia larvae (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus) grown in either recirculating or active suspension systems was explored. 454 pyrosequencing of PCR-amplified 16S rRNA gene fragments was applied to characterize the composition of water, feed and gut bacteria communities.
Observed changes in water BC over time and differences in water BCs between systems were highly correlated with corresponding water physico-chemical properties. Differences in gut bacteria communities during larval development were correlated with differences in water communities between systems. The correlation of feed BC with those in the gut was minor compared to that between gut and water, reflected by the fact that 4 to 43 times more OTUs were shared between water and gut than between gut and feed BC.
Shared OTUs between water and gut suggest a successful transfer of microorganisms from water into the gut, and give insight about the niche and ecological adaptability of water microorganisms inside the gut. These findings suggest that steering of gut microbial communities could be possible through water microbial management derived by the design and functionality of the rearing system.

Well, today I finished my classroom based training for this role, which is great. I now have a couple of days off, in which I hope to catch up on some sleep before I start work again. What they don't tell you is that you will be spending a lot of your first week getting up at, literally, the crack of dawn to get to your classes. I've seen a lot of 5 and 6 am this past week, and it hasn't been the nicest start to the programme to be honest, but getting up early is also hardly the end of the world.
Settling in is proving slightly more challenging for me than for most people on account of the fact that I am the only UK Cultural Rep in my arrival group. To be honest, I might as well have been the only person in my arrival group in total, because after the first two days of paperwork, I've not seen a living soul in my training that has been consistent! It's making it pretty difficult to make friends when your relationship-building time is mere hours. Still, as of Friday morning, I will be on my on the job training, which means I'll be meeting and working with a lot more people and more consistent faces. Fingers crossed, I'll be making friends in no time! I've hardly had the most conventional programme as it is so far, so I'm hoping it'll normal out very soon now!
I've visited the Magi c Kingdom now, which was truly awesome – I don't think I'll ever get tired of it! I really want to see Hollywood Studios again, so I intend to head there on one of my days off over the next couple of days. Probably Thursday as I have some bits and pieces to be doing on one of the days, like laundry and food shopping, so Thursday seems like a better day to be hitting the parks. I'll have to go early though, as it will be Thanksgiving here so things will be PACKED!
I've also decided that I need to buy a wireless router – not be able to access the internet here whenever I want is driving me mental! They're pretty cheap in Walmart so I'm hoping with Black Friday that I might well be in luck for a cheap one! Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving in the US when all the shops sell things at tremendous bargain prices – some places go as low as 90% off. It's like the January sales but much much bigger. Apparently, there were people camping and queuing already yesterday.
I've unpacked everything into the apartment now, and it's just about enough. I need to build up my shoe collection – this has become very clear, but I'm sure that really won't take me very long. We have the Orlando Premium Outlets within walking distance, and free buses to the Florida Mall, for M&Ms amongst other goodies, so I'm certain that I will be spoilt for choice once the money starts rolling in!
Still, tonight is Glee night, and I think I'm going to head to bed early to make the most of tomorrow – who knows, I might pop by a park in the afternoon! Still, looking forward to a lie-in!

As a parent, you are aware of the need to limit screen-time. Naturally, you use your tech-savvy skills to set parental controls on your child's computer/phone/ipad to restrict the amount of time that your child is "glued" to a screen. Can you sit back, relax and feel comfortable that this parenting dilemma has been solved? Uh, sorry, but the answer is "no". Most likely, your child has figured out how to bypass whatever controls you set, because as knowledgeable you think you may be in technology, chances are that your child has surpassed your skills.
More importantly, though, the idea of setting parental controls for your child might not be the right approach to trying to teach your child about the unfavorable results of spending too much time on-screen. Your child needs to develop their own self-control in going online in order to prevent being distracted from completing homework or other responsibilities. Children need to understand when it is socially unacceptable and even harmful to relationships if they are staring at their phones during certain social situations.
Parents have a responsibility to educate their children on being digitally-wise. With their guidance, children will understand the benefits and the dangers of living in a digital world and develop healthy screen-use practices. An article in Psychology Today outlined some items that parents should teach their children:
- The risks of using your screen while walking or driving
- How using a screen right before bed may keep you from falling asleep
- The importance of balance
- The cognitive burden of continual interruptions that impact performance (from grades to basketball)
- How to navigate social relationships that flow from online to offline and back again
- How to recognize and withstand bullies, trolls, and other dangers
- How to identify misinformation (and our tendency to believe things that match what we already think)
- The illusion of digital privacy
- The permanence (and lack of control) over online information and images

Beautox Etc. of Medfield has opened a new medical spa business within the Nicholas Christies Day Spa at 77 North St.
In celebration of its grand opening this month, owner Mary Dealy, a Medfield resident and certified nurse practitioner at Massachusetts General Hospital, invited new clients to book a consultation.
"About two years ago, Dealy became interested in helping women feel beautiful through the practice of cosmetic dermatology," the company said in a press release. "After completing training with Aesthetic Medical Educators training, she was able to shadow renowned area experts and learn the latest procedures."
Dealy recently completed her Level 7 training in London at the Derma Medical training facility.
All services begin with a consultation to be sure each client's treatment is personalized.
"Every face is so different, and every client's vision of beauty is different," Dealy said. "My job is to bring them together to put their best face forward. This is where art and science come together - it's an exciting field."
For more information about Beautox Etc. services, contact 508-298-4824 or by email at email@example.com, or book a consultation online at www.beautoxetc.com.
"My approach is 'less is more," Dealy said. "Less Hollywood, more every day simple beauty. From soccer moms to supermodels, cosmetic injectables have something for everyone. My goal with every client is not to make people wonder if you have had work done, but to have people comment on how beautiful you look."
- If there is a business that you would like to see profiled, email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Purpose – This paper aims to present some of the persistent gender issues that cause inequities in teachers' professional development and keep women away from reaching higher levels of educational administration, although they are the majority of teaching personnel. The interest seeks to focus on the under‐representation of female teachers in leadership positions and to argue on the barriers which stall female advancement and exclude women from the main "leadership pipeline". The basic rationale is that women's role is crucial in order to face the new demands of school in a dramatically changing society carrying out a different style of leadership. Design/methodology/approach – The original study, conducted in 2009, examined in depth the professional experiences of 20 male and 20 female primary principals from schools located in different districts of the Greek continent. Open‐ended and semi‐structured interviews were used to guide the original research. Similar to Skrla's study, all participants were provided with opportunities to reflect on their experiences as primary school leaders and questions where they talk openly about them. Two research instruments were designed to examine the leadership attitudes of both women and men primary school principals. The first was a demographic questionnaire. The second method of investigation was an in‐depth interview with a smaller group selected on the basis of their responses to the questionnaire. In the interviews participants were asked 14 questions concerning the above central themes and a further set of questions that appertained specifically to their role both at home and at school. The interviews were subsequently transcribed and analyzed according to Giorgi's method. Findings – The literature points to a great number of factors which may influence women to remain in the classroom situation rather than seek promotion but few of these were reported in the data as being of powerful influence. However, several factors were identified as being very important to women: women usually became teachers because they liked working with children and to lose contact with this group was seen as a strong disincentive to seeking promotion; many women are very attracted to the social aspects of their work and would not choose to place themselves in a work situation where they would be unhappy; women's promotional chances are usually diminished by three main extrinsic factors: many have a break in service and may experience difficulty in gaining re‐entry, many women work either part‐time or have difficulty in gaining scale post status and as a result do not have the necessary experience to gain promotion, and family commitments sometimes make it difficult, and supply teachers are not generally eligible for this training. Furthermore, subordinates tend to view females in senior positions as emotional, sensitive and indecisive when they are facing difficult situations, and finally, women still face stereotypes concerning their management abilities, with the most important being the imposition of themselves. Originality/value – The present paper reviews literature on gender and leadership and recent quantitative data presenting the proportion of women and men holding leadership positions in primary education in Greece.

Faubourg Jarry - 8, 15 étages (2016)Finally the huge crappy industrial building on the southeast side of Jarry and Viau is either going down or it'll be part of a large redevelopment!! The block is completely fenced in and the walls are being stripped and all the insides are being gutted..Let's hope for the first 20+ storey tower for the east end...the project belongs to the very deep pocketed Saputo clan and their associates.

text: IEC 61850 is an international standard which was first published more than ten years ago after about another ten years of development. It has been recognized as a cornerstone technology for the Smart Grids and is running in tens of thousands of substations around the world. In many countries it has been accepted as the standard communications protocol and engineering environment for all future substations. However there are still many utilities that have not embraced it. And it is maybe because they don't see the business case for it. So the question that this article is trying to answer is "Why? What is the business case for IEC 61850?" More
