You can now use paid search to tell the public about awards and accolades your dental practice has received. Google has rolled out review extensions within Google ads. Your awards and reviews can now be featured within your paid search campaign. This is different from traditional consumer reviews. The online reviews featured within Google ads need to be from a reputable third party.
Active PPC management will increase the ROI of your Google AdWords campaign. Including this new feature can help you to acquire additional patients.
Using Reviews to Promote Your Dental Practice
• Better Business Bureau – Are you a member of the BBB with a high rating or special award? Feature your rating within your AdWords campaign so consumers can view you as a trusted resource.
• Best Dentist In Your City – Many local magazines and newspapers will publish a "Best" list that includes local dentists and doctors. If you have received one of these awards, feature it within your ad campaign. Awards like these add credibility within your local community. Including them in an ad that displays when someone does a local search, will increase your chances of gaining a new patient.
• Industry Accolades – If you have received an industry award, or your practice was acknowledged, you can highlight this recognition in your paid search campaign.
• Magazines and Review Sites – If a magazine or review site has rated you as #1 in the industry, the review extension will let you feature it and reference the site that gave it to you. By referencing the source, your online reviews are perceived to be more credible.
How to Include Reviews in Your Adwords Campaigns
• Log in to your Adwords account.
• Click the "Review Extensions" option under the Ad Extensions tab.
• Paraphrase the award or use the exact quote from the publication.
• Type in the text you want displayed.
• Identify the source.
• Past in the source URL.
You can decide whether you want the review to run for a specific ad campaign or in a group of ads. Evaluate your PPC management strategy to determine where it will have the greatest impact. For example if your dental practice is in multiple counties, and you have received various local awards, you should run a specific ad campaign for each local area. The award you received should match the area your campaign is running in. One thing to note is that you can include the review extension along with other Ad extensions, except for offers. You will have to run a different paid search campaign for your promotional offers.
Promote the fact that you are local, care about your patients, and the community has awarded you for your efforts. When you combine third party online reviews and endorsements with local patient reviews, your dental practice will stand out and you will have additional opportunities to engage new patients. Your PPC management strategy has a small window in which to make an impact. Use third party reviews to rise above the competition in your local area.

Researching the leisure activities of persistent offenders in Veenhuizen's Esserheem prison, Jeroen Heeren found a need for musical self-tuition. Current do-it-yourself programs require lots of additional cables, devices and control systems. Either that, or the keys have been replaced by a touch screen, which is far from the real thing. Jeroen designed a stand-alone keyboard that has it all: innovative software on the inside and real keys on the outside. Easy to borrow at the prison library and ready for instant use without help from a pro. Prisoners can practice by themselves in their cell by playing along with the tunes of the 'Edelhout' band or even try solos. If it gets too difficult, they can always hit the Escape key.

Chances are, you've never heard of Noni before, but this sacred Hawaiian fruit has such a wide variety of medicinal uses that it could just be the next big "superfood" trend. The plant can be ingested or applied topically as an incredibly effective regimen for health and wellness, inside and out. Many studies have proven Noni to be a powerful supplement for hair, skin, cardiovascular, liver, and immune health and I'm here to break it down for you.
Noni juice can be really good for overall heart health by preventing thickening or hardening of artery walls and lowers blood pressure and cholesterol in the process. It has the ability to protect your liver from exposure to harsh toxins and chemicals that cause damage over time.
Noni juice contains scopoletin, an anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-bacterial, antihistamine, and antifungal that makes it an incredibly effective skincare treatment for acne and when taken orally, boosts immune system better than any kind of vitamin C supplement alone. However, it does contain large amounts of vitamin C that contribute to its overall effectiveness. Native Hawaiians have sworn by Noni for centuries as the cure to the common cold.
The anti-inflammatory properties have been proven to be an effective treatment for ailments like arthritis and chronic pain because it can quickly lower inflammation and ease pain and sensitivity. According to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, Noni contains tumor-fighting properties and increases immunity so well that its an effective treatment for cancer when paired with traditional treatment.
When it comes to hair care and skincare, whether ingested or applied topically, studies suggest the anthraquinones found in the plant activate collagen production to help prevent the formation of wrinkles and helps hair grow longer and stronger. The ancient Hawaiians used Noni on burns and wounds because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties and the triggering of collagen production and hydroxyproline.
Noni is a savior when it comes to muscle spasms and PMS due to its high amounts of potassium. I'm sure you've always heard that eating a banana can be a great aid for muscle cramps and the same rules apply here, but with fewer carbs and higher nutritional value than a banana.
The plant comes in many forms from extracts, to powders, to capsules, to face serums and beyond. Be aware of packaged Noni juices though, manufacturers often add sugar and other fruit juices to mask the taste and smell of Noni, which I must warn you, is not very pleasant.
The list of uses for Noni is endless and taking it as a daily supplement in your tea or smoothies in the morning and incorporating products into your skincare routine is a good preventative measure to ensure maximum health and wellbeing. There are even some makeup products that include Noni extracts already. Some of my favorites are available below:
Multiple scientific studies have been done and many are still being conducted to truly understand this seemingly magical fruit, but those living in the more tropical climates that Noni is native to, have known the gentleness, yet effectiveness of the medicinal plant for thousands of years.

Sign up for my free email newsletter below to gain instant acccess! (I'll never spam you plus I'll send you lots of awesome weight loss freebies, gifts, and tips!)
Have you ever thought to yourself "I'd really love to have a hearty bowl of oatmeal for breakfast, but I want to lose weight so I'd better stick with a smoothie?" BREAKING NEWS! You can now have both! This creamy Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie is specifically designed to help you lose weight, while still giving you a filling and delicious breakfast! It has the nutrition of oatmeal with less carbs and more protein. Plus it includes some cool fat burning properties thanks to two secret ingredients (read on to find out more!)
As an ACE certified group fitness instructor, I am constantly trying to find the best healthy recipes that will help my clients lose weight without sacrificing taste. Breakfast truly is the most important meal of the day. Eating a filling and healthy breakfast everyday is key for losing weight (read more about it here). This Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie is an easy way to make sure you're getting a filling breakfast full of fiber, protein, and whole grain. Drink this healthy vegan smoothie for breakfast every morning and you'll lose weight in no time!
Here are the ingredients for your healthy and filling Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie for Weight Loss:
- Rolled oats
- Frozen banana
- Almond milk
- Creamy peanut butter
- Vanilla protein powder
- Ground cinnamon
- Cayenne pepper
- Sea salt
- Liquid stevia (optional)
And before you decide I'm crazy for including cayenne pepper in a breakfast smoothie recipe with oatmeal– hear me out! A pinch of cayenne pepper is one of the key ingredients that makes this a weight loss Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie. The main active ingredient in cayenne pepper is capsaicin, a thermogenic chemical that is shown to speed up metabolism, reduce cravings, and burn more calories (read about it here). Just a pinch of cayenne pepper in your morning smoothie can help you burn more calories throughout the day, which is great for weight loss. And since it's just a pinch, you won't even taste it but your metabolism will feel it!
The other secret fat burning ingredient I've included in this Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie is cinnamon. Cinnamon has been shown to reduce the effects of eating high-fat food and have a positive effect on your blood glucose levels (more information here). As a bonus, it's anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial which can help keep your immune system strong. Did you eat one too many slices of pepperoni pizza last night? A little cinnamon in your breakfast smoothie can work wonders!
While neither cayenne nor cinnamon is a miracle weight loss food (truthfully those don't exist) and the research on them with regard to weight loss is limited, it doesn't hurt to try right? When it comes to weight loss, every little bit helps! And cayenne and cinnamon aren't the only ingredients in this super healthy breakfast smoothie that will help you lose weight. Let's go through some of the other weight loss ingredients in this Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie!
Fiber and protein are extremely important for healthy, long-term weight loss and this breakfast smoothie with oatmeal has both! Oatmeal itself can help you lose weight because it has a high fiber content and keeps you full for longer. Oats are considered whole grains, which are recommended as part of a healthy diet. One half cup of rolled oats contains 2 grams of dietary fiber, 3 grams of protein, and 0 grams of sugar! The addition of oats to this breakfast smoothie gives it a higher fiber and protein content than most traditional smoothies, which will help you lose weight faster!
So can you put raw oats in a smoothie? Yes! There's no need to cook the oats for this Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie– just throw them in the blender and you're good to go! It's so easy. And what kind of oatmeal do you put in smoothies? Old fashioned rolled oats are great because they're minimally processed and so good for you! You can also use quick oats for this breakfast protein smoothie. A pinch of sea salt in the smoothie helps bring out the flavor of the oats!
And in case the protein and fiber from the oatmeal aren't enough for you, you're getting an extra boost from the peanut butter, banana, and protein powder! This Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie is guaranteed to keep full all day with 10 grams of fiber and 28 grams of protein. How's that for a healthy start to your day? As a weight loss bonus, this Peanut Buter Oatmeal Smoothie will help curve your sugar cravings because it tastes decadent without any added sugar. The banana adds a little natural sweetness, but if you need more, you can add a few drops of liquid stevia. Stevia is great for weight loss because it contains zero calories and won't spike your blood sugar.
This filling Peanut Butter Oatmeal Smoothie for Weight Loss has all the healthy ingredients you need to lose weight and feel great! If you're looking for an oatmeal smoothie recipe that's hearty, filling, vegan, and super healthy, this is the only one you'll ever need! You can even use the same basic oatmeal smoothie recipe and replace the peanut butter with cacao powder (chocolate oatmeal smoothie), 1/2 cup of frozen berries (very berry oatmeal smoothie), or anything else you can think of! You can also replace the peanut butter with almond butter or even sunflower butter for a nut free version. The sky's the limit! Enjoy! 😋

Sorry I have not posted in a few days ,I had been sick for a week ,then I just was not up to posting .I need to take new photos soon .These I had stored in my computer.
When Rexa & I went to Mom's before Christmas she had 6 of these rugs in her closet .
Every year she makes a bunch to give us
She told us to pick two each ,I did not lay them out flat enough when I took the pictures ,sometimes we have to tug and pull on them to get them flat.
Most of the time she makes them with cotton's from selvages & old clothes , sometimes she used old T-shirts ,there have been times when she even used old sheets (Tina's favorite) and I have one made from Flannel that I love ! She has also used lightweight double knit but those stretch too much,so she doesn't make those very often.
We always get at least one or 2 a year and always a different look !

There is no need in telling you that the Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Bag is a well-known name of a popular bag made by this fashion house. But, now we have the Saint Laurent Linen Rive Gauche Bag with Black Leather Handle. No, these two bags are not the same and as a matter of fact, they are completely different.
The name, Rive Gauche refers to the old part of Paris where artists used to live. It is special, like the bag we can see here. There is something special associated with the bag and it can be seen as soon as you use the bag for the first time. It is modern and minimalistic, so it has a lot to offer to its, new owners.
Precisely the minimalistic design is the main advantage of the Saint Laurent Linen Rive Gauche Bag with Black Leather Handle. You get one massive compartment, which is secured with buttons and that's it. You also get a massive handle with a drop of 17 cm. This model is made of cotton, so it is durable. In reality, it is more durable than leather bags, so you will like it a lot. It won't stretch either, so you can carry almost anything that can fit the bag. The bag can be carried in your hands or on a shoulder. It is up to you.
Beside the minimalistic design, on the front, we can see a logo and the Rive Gauche sayings which make the bag popular and leave the impression that it is special. It truly is and you will realize that the first time you use it.
The Saint Laurent Linen Rive Gauche Bag with Black Leather Handle is primarily designed for shopping and for everyday use. It offers plenty of space and simplicity so you can easily place anything you want in it or you can pull it out when needed. But, thanks to the simple design and practicality, we must add that the bag will be helpful while traveling and while needing the extra space. All of this in a small and compact bag made by Saint Laurent.
Don't forget that the Saint Laurent Linen Rive Gauche Bag with Black Leather Handle will look great on you, regardless of the fact what you are wearing at the time and where you are going.

IL He has been profoundly afflicted by their unfavorable opinion of himself; admiring at the same time the chaste and elegant language in which it has been expressed. And his life will hereafter be embittered by the reflection that he failed to secure the good opinion and applauses of a body of men so just and discriminating in their censures, whose opinions are entitled to so much weight, and who, by patriotically hurrying to their homes at the moment when a bleeding country besought them for their services, have deserved so well of that country, covered their own names with immortal glory, and added new dignity to human nature.
III. He deeply regrets that the gentlemen in question were, by his sole fault, forced into the service of an ungrateful country, which ought to be able to take care of herself; fight her own battles, and secure her independence without compelling any of her citizens to assist her in doing so. For what is liberty worth, if; to secure it, dangers have to be incurred, and hardships and privations undergone?
IV. He assures them that it was with the deepest sorrow he became convinced that he could not furlough all of them in April, until the end of the war, and permit them to remain at home until that time, still continuing to receive their pay, and forty cents a day for use and risk of each horse.
V. He particularly apologizes to every gentleman for not having been able heretofore to furlough men and grant leaves of absence to officers for more than fifteen days out of ten, and to indulge their burning ardor for active service, and their eager desire to be at home at one and the same time; and he is taking active steps which he hopes will enable him to effect all this in the future.
VI. The commanding general is utterly unable to find words in which to express his intense admiration of these lofty and heroic souls, who, leaving a little handful of their countrymen, unfortunately not thirty-five years of age, to aid our Indian allies in checking an overwhelming torrent of invasion, are returning exultant to their homes in Texas, furnished with those honorable certificates of discharge which their children and their children's children will in after years exhibit with a just and laudable pride, as in other countries men exhibit the patents of nobility of their ancestors; nor can he find language in which to express his conviction of the supreme injustice of those laws, ordinarily known among fools as the laws of honor, decency, and justice, which have not permitted him to take the moneys belonging to oar Indian allies to satisfy the demands of those patriots who are now retiring to the shades of private life, after a long term of arduous service, chiefly passed by them in cursing the officers over them, and yelling clamorously for furloughs, sick leave, pay, active service, horse shoeing, corn, and bacon.
VII. He condoles with them on the unexampled hardships that they have undergone, and which, such has been their patriotic devotion, they have borne, unmurmuring, with unexampled, unheard-of, and incredible constancy, patience, and cheerfulness.
VIII. He is deeply afflicted at the incredible privations which the men have had to endure, in the cause of a beloved country, in the way of food. Their sufferings in that respect have brought many tears to his eyes; and their heroic patience under these terrible privations totally eclipses the boasted constancy of the men of the Revolution, who starved and stood barefoot in the snows of winter at Valley Forge, and went into action with only a rag tied round their loins, to keep the belts of their cartridge-boxes from eating into their flesh.

Peter Vars, CEO of BME Associates, helps employees grow as company expands. (Photo by Kimberly McKinzie)
Peter Vars sees his career path as a natural evolution.
Vars, 52, is president and CEO of BME Associates, a Fairport engineering and surveying firm. Its projects range from housing subdivisions to Wilmorite Inc.'s planned $425 million casino.
He has spent more than 25 years at the business. President since 2010, Vars took the top spot in October 2014, succeeding Bruce Boncke after the firm's CEO and founding partner retired.
The leadership transition over the last year has been seamless, Vars says, noting a plan had been in place for several years.
"We didn't miss a beat at all," he says.
The company has 27 employees, and sales are projected to top $3.25 million this year, which is a 10 percent increase over 2014 sales.
Looking to the company's future growth, Vars calls the plan BME 2.0. The employees play a major role in that growth and Vars wants to be there to help.
"My goal is to empower people, to get them to recognize their potential and get the most out of it," Vars says.
Vars attended Clarkson University where he received a bachelor of science degree in civil and environmental engineering in 1985. While there, he saw a job posting at the former Sear-Brown Group Inc., now part of Stantec Inc. Vars liked the Rochester area and decided to talk to the firm.
It was Boncke—another Clarkson engineering graduate—who conducted the interview as Sear-Brown's site department manager. Vars reminded him of a younger version of himself, Boncke says.
"He was enjoying life and enjoying what he was doing," Boncke says. "I knew he was the one."
Vars landed the job and worked there until joining Boncke and Doug Eldred at their new business in 1988.
While it may have been a gamble to leave a well-established firm for a startup, Vars says the opportunities outweighed the risks. The decision proved to be the right one.
At BME, Vars' career accelerated.
"We were a small firm where you needed to learn quick and were expected to do everything necessary to complete the project," Vars says.
He credits Boncke and Eldred as mentors, noting both taught him what he now knows from an engineering and management standpoint.
"There is no doubt I am not where I am today if I did not work for Bruce and Doug," Vars says. "They saw potential in me and made sure they gave me the opportunity to achieve it."
Vars did not set out to run his own business, but it came naturally through his growth at BME.
Changing style
When Boncke speaks of Vars' evolving management style over the years, he notes that it went from being more hands-on—feeling the need to do everything himself—to a more empowering style focused on teaching and training.
"He's the perfect guy for the job," Boncke says of Vars' current role.
Vars, too, says his leadership style has changed. He believes that is how it should be, given that people and the work environment constantly shift.
"The management style of 1985, when I entered the workforce, would not work today in 2015," he says.
Vars spends a fair amount of time listening to employees and understanding what motivates them.
"I approach it from an individual basis. I take interest in each employee, which is a benefit of a small firm," he says. "My job is to partner this potential and motivation with the goals of the firm."
If employees have ideas or interests they would like to pursue, Vars is encouraging. Often those ideas lead to a better way of doing business.
"I say, 'If it's your passion, let's make it happen,'" he says.
Vars describes the past year as interesting, with key managers, including Boncke, retiring. That meant that, in addition to assuming CEO duties, Vars had to be more involved than normal in day-to-day financial and business operations. His typical day is split among projects, business and management.
"In a small firm, individuals are responsible for a lot of areas," Vars says. "I see to it that all of the bases are covered and that the people responsible for items have the resources and support they need to complete their assignments effectively."
Vars still goes out of the office a couple of nights a week to attend municipal meetings. It is something he enjoys.
"It keeps me active and connected to our projects, clients and communities we work in," he says.
It also keeps him up to date on areas such as public speaking, politics and economics. While some public meetings can be contentious, Vars stays calm and helps others, who may be presenting engineering plans for a project, do the same.
"I tell them, 'No one knows the project better than you do,'" he says.
And few know the communities BME works in better than BME, with its longevity in the field, he adds.
Some 90 percent of BME's business is in the Rochester-Finger Lakes region. The company's focus is primarily private development work, with a mix of residential, commercial and recreational efforts.
Among its notable projects, Wilmorite's multimillion-dollar casino project in Tyre, Seneca County, probably best sums up who BME is as a business and sets the table for its future, Vars adds. It is a smaller firm that can handle large-scale projects.
Other such projects include several environmental permitting projects for the Orleans County Economic Development Agency surrounding agribusiness, a growing industry, and several private developments such as Riedman Cos.' the Residences at Canalside, across the Erie Canal from BME.
Trevor Harrison, managing partner of HBT Architects LLP, first worked with Vars nearly 13 years ago when Vars served as the site engineer for the Bushnell's Basin Fire Department's new facility. Harrison immediately knew both firms were on the same page.
"He is a really great guy and has been so successful because of his personality and his care for his clients," Harrison says.
He describes Vars as creative, smart and focused on getting clients through the design and approval process efficiently.
"He is a relationship guy, and this is evident in every aspect of his professional life, from his work with clients, with other design team members and with the local municipalities," Harrison says. "This friendly, respectful and intelligent approach is what makes him such an effective leader."
The best part of the job is when a client or regulatory officials tell Vars that a BME employee has done a good job.
"That validates that we are taking the right approach and it is working," he says.
The worst part is managing government regulations, from both a business and project perspective.
"On the business side, we spend so much time on regulatory matters that it takes away from our core business and that can be frustrating at times, but I also understand it is what it is," he says.
On the project side, the regulatory environment has increased dramatically in the last decade, boosting the amount of time it takes to bring projects to completion, he says.
Both sets of regulation affect the business climate in Western New York.
The bigger industry challenge is a combination of the regulatory environment, making it more difficult for landowners and developers to bring new projects to fruition or to redevelop existing properties, and the competition for talent.
"They are inter-related; if the economic environment does not improve, talent will continue to leave the area," Vars says.
BME's plan is to get out in front of the regulatory issues, to advocate for the industry and be the best-informed firm on regulatory matters. This will ensure it can help clients go through the process quickly and effectively, officials say.
Growth areas include private development opportunities in multi-family and senior housing and in environmental services, he says. BME is looking to expand its services farther along the state Thruway corridor and the Finger Lakes region.
Off the job
Vars lives in Perinton. He and his wife, Amy, have a daughter, Madeline, 20, and a son, Adam, 17.
When not working, Vars enjoys golfing, reading historical books and watching Buffalo Sabres games.
He also enjoys bicycling. He completed a 42-mile bike ride through the five boroughs of New York City in May.
"What a great way to see the city," he says.
At BME, Vars plans to continue to work on growing the business.
"I have a real passion for what we do here," he says.

Tamer Nafar, a hip-hop star from the city of Lod, near Tel Aviv, produced the hit "Tamer Must Vote" in hopes of driving up Arab turnout.
By Associated Press
A popular Arab rapper released a fiery new song ahead of Tuesday's Israeli elections, encouraging fellow Arab citizens to push back against their community's calls for a ballot boycott that appear to be gaining steam.
Tamer Nafar, a hip-hop star from the city of Lod, near Tel Aviv, produced the hit "Tamer Must Vote" in hopes of driving up Arab turnout as Israel's tumultuous campaign draws to a close.
The Arabic-language music video, which has racked up hundreds of thousands of views online, features Nafar sparing with his pro-boycott alter ego in a boxing ring.
Nafar told The Associated Press that his chorus urges voters to "stop the fascists that have won in Israel" — a forceful response to boycott calls that run deep among Arab citizens who make up 20% of Israel's population.
Last election cycle, Arab factions united into one Joint List, boosting turnout and propelling Arab representatives to a record 13 seats in parliament.
But this year's climate looks stormier. Political infighting split the slate into two factions, embittering some constituents. Many Arab citizens are also alarmed over Netanyahu's campaign tactics aimed at shoring up his right-wing base, which they call racist incitement.
Polls are predicting dismal voter turnout in the Arab sector.
A recent survey from the Abraham Fund Initiatives, an Israeli non-profit dedicated to promoting equality, forecasts nearly half of Arab society electing not to vote.
It estimates turnout will drop to 51% from 64% in 2015, "spelling disaster" for Arab political representation.
But some hope recent tensions produce the opposite effect, fueling enough frustration to increase turnout.
"It doesn't make sense for me to give up this tool," Nafar raps, "So I'm going to vote."

HD Screen Caps by Mari ɞ
Here's CNBLUE's second comeback performance for 'RE: BLUE'. They perfromed 'Where you are' English version and 'I'm Sorry' ALL LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER!! By live, I mean LIVE with all LIVE instruments and vocals!! THEY ROCKED THE STAGE FOR REAL! I have never been prouder of our guys man. I was surprised to see that they all were hosting the show because I thought it was going to be just Lee Jonghyun having his debut MC job but when they first cut to the MC's and they were all holding the signature Music Core mic tags, I knew for sure! They looked well rested and very animated and that's how I LOVE to see my boys! I was so glad because the Music Bank appearance was not the same since they looked super tired. I guess they got a bit of rest and looked totally AMAZING! I noticed that they all have similar hair cuts and styles for the MC part which was the live portion of their appearance. They all were very handsome and charismatic as always.
I cannot begin to put into words how hot this performance is! You HAVE TO WATCH AND REWATCH TO REALLY GET ALL THE HOT BURNED INTO YOUR RETINAS! I really raped the shit out of my play button today re-watching it til the point that VLC kept freezing as if telling me I'd had enough, damn smart ass technology LOL 'Where you are' sounded AMAZING as usual but 'I'm Sorry' is EARFUCKINGGASM x10000! I can tell why Yonghwa was so tired after this performance recording, because he put so much into the vocals for both songs that its amazing he still has a voice!!
This perf is a definite DL and MUST HAVE, you will need to have the shower on standby for this one!! BTW, I made HD caps from this one cuz you need to see the captured SEX on those images!! Speaking of cold showers…..

On July 9, 2014, the 6th round of China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue was opened at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. Wang Yang, President Xi Jinping's Special Representative and Vice Premier and State Councilor Yang Jiechi co-chaired the Dialogue with John Kerry, Special Representative of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State and Jacob J. Lew, Secretary of the Treasury of the US.
Wang Yang said in his speech that the important speech made by President Xi Jinping at the joint opening ceremony of the 6th round of China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue and the 5th round of China-US High-level Consultation on People-to-People and Cultural Exchange had put forward expectations for the construction of the new model of major country relationship between China and the US as well as requirements for this round of Strategic and Economic Dialogue. The two delegations should make efforts to promote the Dialogue to achieve positive results and create more opportunities for cooperation between the two countries.
Wang Yang pointed out that the China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue is full of vitality and is a positive interaction between the two major countries with different histories, cultures, social systems and levels of development. The two sides sit together every year and conduct dialogues on overall, long-term and strategic issues, which itself is the best interpretation of the new model of major country relationship between China and the US featuring "no conflict, no confrontation, mutual respect and cooperation with win-win results" and is also a beneficial exploration to improve global governance mechanism.
Yang Jiechi said in his speech that in face of profound changes in the international situation, it's more necessary and urgent for China and the US to jointly construct a new model of major country relationship. The mission of this round of Dialogue is, focusing on the important consensus reached by the two heads of state on jointly constructing the new model of major country relationship between China and the US, to actively seek integrating points of common interests, reduce misunderstanding and suspicion, broaden consensus and expand cooperation so as to inject more positive energy and new impetus into the development of the bilateral relations.
John Kerry said in his speech that, the fact that President Xi Jinping attended the joint opening ceremony and delivered an important speech reflects the importance of the US-China relations. President Obama expressed in his written speech that, the US and China should take advantage of this round of Dialogue to make it clear to the world that, despite such complex bilateral relations, the two countries must ensure that cooperation is the mainstream of the bilateral relations. The US side is committed to constructing a new model of major country relationship of reciprocity and mutual benefit with China, promoting common interests through cooperation and properly handling differences in a constructive way. The US side hopes to enhance mutual trust and promote cooperation with China through this round of Dialogue. The US does not believe that the conflicts between the conservative major country and the emerging major country are inevitable and that the US can compete but never conflict with China. The US does not seek to contain China, but expects to see a peaceful, stable and prosperous China.
Jacob J. Lew said in his speech that China's economic prosperity is very important to the global economy. As the two largest economies in the world, the common interests between the US and China are more than their differences. They should turn challenges into opportunities, create better opportunities for cooperation between enterprises and the public of the two counties through this round of Dialogue, implement the consensus between the two heads of state to construct a new model of major country relationship and benefit the two economies and even the Asia-Pacific and global economies.
On the same day, Wang Yang and Jacob J. Lew chaired the Economic Dialogue. The two sides conducted in-depth exchanges on macroeconomic policies and structural reforms, deepening cooperation in trade and investment, the reform and opening-up of the financial sector, cooperation in cross-border regulation and other topics.
Yang Jiechi and John Kerry chaired the Strategic Dialogue and the two sides conducted candid and in-depth exchanges of views on the China-US relations, their respective Asia-Pacific policies and major international and regional topics of common interest.
Wang Yang, Yang Jiechi, John Kerry and Jacob J. Lew also jointly attended the Special Joint Session on Climate Change of the 6th round of China-US Strategic and Economic Dialogue.

The amended Condominium Act, 1998 allows condominium corporations to pass a by-law authorizing owners to attend meetings electronically and/or vote electronically. But what exactly does this permit? For instance, can the by-law allow owners to vote at any time (not necessarily during the holding of the meeting)? And can the voting be done without using a proxy? Continue reading "Electronic Meeting Attendance and Voting: What is Permitted?"
Summary of Draft Regulations under the Condominium Act, 1998 – Meetings and Voting
In this Blog No. 4, I explore what the Summary has to say about Changes to Meetings and Voting.
The Summary respecting the proposed new Regulations refers to some Changes to Meetings and Voting. In the case of owners' meetings, the changes will generally apply to meetings held at least 40 days after the Regulations come into force (unless the notice of meeting is sent before the Regulations come into force).
[Note: The target date for the Regulations to come into force appears to be July 1, 2017.]
Here are some of the highlights.
New Quorum Requirements for Meetings of Owners
Currently, the quorum requirement for meetings of the owners is the owners of 25% of the units (unless the corporation has passed a by-law to increase the quorum requirement to 33 1/3%).
Under the proposed Regulations, quorum for the third attempt to hold a meeting will be reduced to 15% for the following types of meetings:
- AGMs
- Turnover Meetings
- Any meeting to appoint a new Auditor
- Any meeting to elect Directors
Secret Voting
Condominiums will be deemed to have a standard by-law provision stating that owners voting by ballot, by proxy or by telephonic or electronic means must always be permitted to vote secretly – without revealing their names or unit numbers. (This standard by-law provision can only be amended after turnover.)
Recorded Vote
The Regulations will confirm the meaning of a "recorded vote" (also defined under the amendments to the Act).
There will be a mandatory proxy form to be contained in the new Regulations.
By-law Voting
The required vote to confirm certain NEW types of by-laws will be reduced to an ordinary vote – ie. a majority of the votes cast with a quorum of units represented (either in person or by proxy) at the meeting. The Summary says that this reduced voting requirement will apply to By-laws
- To add information to be included in a periodic information certificate, an information certificate update or a new owner information certificate.
- To specify more frequent time periods for sending a periodic information certificate.
- To specify additional disclosure obligations under subsection 29 (1) (f) and 29 (2) (f) of the Condominium Act, and any related time periods for those additional obligations.
- To govern the manner in which required information is presented at a meeting of owners, and identifying additional material to place before the owners at the meeting.
- To govern the manner in which an individual may notify the board under clause 45.1 (1) (a) of the act, and the manner in which an owner may provide material to the board under clause 45.1 (1) (b) of the act.
- To govern additional materials that are to be included in a preliminary notice or notice of meeting sent by the condominium corporation.
- To specify the method of electronic communication the condominium corporation can use in relation to communication by the corporation under the Condominium Act and the accompanying regulations.
- To govern the manner in which an owner may be present at a meeting of owners or represented by proxy.
- To allow for voting by telephonic or electronic means under s. 52(1)(b)(iii) of the Condominium Act.
- To specify additional records that must be maintained and to increase required retention periods.
Board Meetings by Teleconference
Boards will be entitled to hold Board Meetings by teleconference or other method of concurrent communication.
Stay tuned for our next blog in this series about the new Regulations.
Voting by Co-Owners
Section 51 (3) of the Condominium Act, 1998 deals with voting in the case of units owned by two or more owners, but Section 51 (3) is confusing. Section 51 (3) reads as follows:
Joint owners
The majority of the owners of a unit may exercise the right to vote in respect of the unit but the vote shall not be counted if there are two or more owners of the unit and they are evenly divided on how to exercise the vote.
Here's the problem: Suppose a unit is owned by two (or more) persons. If only one of those owners seeks to exercise the voting rights for the unit, it's not clear that he or she has the right to vote. This is because a "majority" is more than half. Therefore, one owner (out of two or more) would not constitute a majority.
In my view, one possible solution is to pass a clarifying by-law stating that any one owner of a unit may exercise the vote (for the unit), and the provisions of Section 51 (3) will apply only if two or more of the owners of a unit decide to vote.
What is a 'Recorded Vote'
Subsection 52(2) of the Condominium Act allows a person who is entitled to vote at a meeting of owners to request that a recorded vote be held (on any item scheduled for a vote). This section requires that the request be made either before, or promptly after, the vote is taken.
The term "recorded vote" is not defined in the Act, nor has it been defined by the Courts. It is therefore not 100% clear what is meant by the term "recorded vote". As a result of this uncertainty, it is important, in the event of a request for a recorded vote, that the individual making the request, the chair, and all other owners present at the meeting, agree on (or at least understand) the particular process that will be followed for the purpose of taking the recorded vote.
In my view, a recorded vote is any voting process that results in the recording (in the meeting minutes) of the voting results (ie. the numbers for and against the particular motion). For instance, a recorded vote could be taken by poll (ie. a roll call), a secret ballot (in which case the voter is not identified on the ballot) or an open ballot (in which case the voter is identified on the ballot). Depending upon the type of recorded vote, owners may or may not be entitled to know how each of the other owners voted.
Condominiums may pass bylaws to govern how a recorded vote is to be taken for a particular condominium, and the bylaw may specify the process to be followed. Often, this type of provision can be found in a condominium corporation's operational or comprehensive bylaw. If there is no existing provision, a condominium corporation may pass a bylaw to amend its operational bylaw by adding a provision to deal with the recorded vote.
Absent a bylaw, the process to be followed when a request for a recorded vote is made may be decided by the chair, or perhaps may be decided by the owners present (or represented) at the meeting, by ordinary resolution.
Regardless of the process selected, it is our general view that, if requested, owners are entitled to know the "number results" of a vote – in other words, owners are entitled to know how many individuals voted for or against a particular item, or how many individuals voted for each candidate in an election. If such a request is made, unless the person making the request agrees to be told privately of the results, the chair of the meeting would be required to announce the number results for the particular vote.
Notes on Board Voting
Decisions of the Board of Directors are made by vote, at meetings of the Board. Here are some quick notes about Board voting:
- For there to be a vote, there must be a quorum present.
- Condominium Directors can't vote by proxy.
- The general nature of the business (to be voted upon) must be stated or implied in the Notice of Meeting.
- Each Director has one vote, including the chair. The chair never has an extra vote. But the chair always has the right to exercise his or her one vote. [For instance, the chair's vote may break a tie or create a tie.]
- For a motion to be carried, a majority of the votes cast must be in favour of the motion. In the event of a tie (among the votes cast), the motion fails.
- Directors can abstain (and of course must abstain if in a conflict). An abstention is a vote that is not cast.

Magnet is the UK's leading kitchen experts with a number of branches and showrooms throughout England, Scotland and Wales.
Following the recession, Magnet made the decision to restructure and consolidate their business, which involved either relocating or closure of 10 of their stores in the Scotland and Northern England region.
Magnet appointed us to conduct dilapidations assessments on those leasehold properties and thereafter provide on strategy for dealing with the dilapidations matters with the landlord in order to permit the lease to determine or for break clauses to be validly executed.
Once the overall strategy had been agreed with Magnet, they provided a supplemental appointment to SW to design, commission and execute the repair works prior to the lease determination date concerning 5 of those properties. During the works we successfully negotiated the landlord agreement that all works had been satisfactorily carried out, therefore extinguishing the client's obligations.
We negotiated financial settlements with the landlord's agents in regards to the remaining 5 properties to a satisfactory conclusion. For example, we secured Magnet a £0 settlement in regard their property in Dumfries, releasing Magnet from their lease at no extra cost for dilapidations. At the Magnet properties in Elgin and Dunfermline, we were also able to achieve lower exit costs than it would have cost Magnet to undertake the dilapidations works.
This instruction proved our team's expertise in dilapidations both in England and Scotland (the law of which is different in both regions), but thanks to our previous experience of working in both nations, we were able to navigate the laws to reach the best outcomes possible for Magnet.

17 Jul 2018
A new partnership has been launched today to secure jobs and training for local people linked to Stevenage town centre regeneration plans and major investment in the town's council housing stock.
Stevenage Borough Council, North Hertfordshire College (NHC), and JobCentre Plus signed the Stevenage Works partnership agreement at North Hertfordshire College's Engineering and Construction Campus.
Stevenage Borough Council's Leader Sharon Taylor and NHC's Principal and Chief Executive Kit Davies also met with construction students at the Campus site.
The initial focus of Stevenage Works will be on construction and business administration skills. The partners will work together to provide training and jobs including apprenticeships for young people and unemployed adults. Jobcentre Plus, will identify local candidates and North Hertfordshire College will deliver training, providing new and long-term unemployed jobseekers with basic construction skills as well as CV and interview training.
Stevenage Borough Council is working with an international developer on an ambitious programme to regenerate Stevenage Town Centre. The council is also working with Wates and Mulalley on the refurbishment of 550 low rise flat blocks and the contractors have committed to providing jobs and training for local people.
Kit Davies, Chief Executive of Hart Learning Group and Principal of North Hertfordshire College, said: "At North Hertfordshire College and Hart Learning & Development, everything we do is about helping individuals get where they want to be in life and helping businesses to improve and grow. We're experts at delivering apprenticeships and other training locally and nationally. We're rooted in the communities of Stevenage and North Hertfordshire and I'm confident that Stevenage Works will help local people get back into jobs or further training."
Sharon Taylor, Leader of Stevenage Borough Council said: "We are committed to ensuring local people benefit from the major regeneration underway across Stevenage and with this exciting partnership we can maximise those benefits with jobs, training and community improvements. By working with North Hertfordshire College, JobCentre Plus and our contractors we will help develop future workforces to the benefit of the people trained, the local economy and employers who will have the trained workers they need."

New Organization Roles
Some new roles for have been added for organizations on VGMdb to help us represent organizations associated with releases more extensively, and also to try any make things more consistent between Japanese record companies.
For new submissions only the label or publisher (as appropriate) is required. The additional roles are something to be filled out by more experienced users and/or based on scans (similar to instrumentalists).
Currently available roles:
This refers to the label/imprint/brand the album was released under. It is generally represented by a logo present on the obi and the disc.
Record companies are not labels and should not be linked as such. For example the entity linked as a label should be Lantis (https://vgmdb.net/org/3), not Lantis Co., Ltd. (https://vgmdb.net/org/1373).
Not every logo on the release is necessarily a label. Logos often appear representing the distributor, copyright holder, manufacturer, artist management company etc.
On enclosures generally only the label present on the CD should be linked. Labels present only on the anime Blu-ray or game disc should not be added to the entry.
Publisher, Manufacturer and Marketer
The Publisher role is very straightforward in a lot of cases with no change from before. Generally it is the person, group or company who published the release.
For Japanese record companies assigning these roles is a bit more complicated. Japanese releases generally provide a credit of 発売元 available on the back and/or the obi. Most companies seem to use 発売元 to mean "Manufactured by", but some others like UNIVERSAL MUSIC LLC use it to mean "Marketed by". The role to which 発売元 is linked should be picked as follows;
- If there is a "Manufactured by", "Made by" etc. credit printed on releases then this company should be linked as a Manufacturer and no Publisher should be linked.
- If there is a "Marketed by" credit printed on releases then this company should be linked as a Marketer and no Publisher should be linked.
- If there is no English credit of Manufactured by or Marketed by printed on releases, then the company under 発売元 should be linked as the less-specific Publisher role.
- Sometimes the company credited as the manufacturer maybe explicitly different from the company credited under 発売元. In this case both Manufacturer and Publisher can be linked. An example is this release: https://vgmdb.net/db/covers.php?do=view&cover=417737
- Some companies like BANDAI NAMCO Arts only provide a English credit on some of their releases. However, the translation can be assumed to apply to all of their releases.
発売元 credit is available in advance from many stores (i.e. Rakuten Books, Yodobashi), so these roles can be added in advance to upcoming releases if desired.
This is the company responsible for distribution of the release, to different retailers and such. On Japanese releases it is usually given as 販売元.
販売元 credit is also available in advance from many stores (i.e. Rakuten Books, Yodobashi), so this role can be added in advance to upcoming releases if desired.
Phonographic Copyright
This is the entity which owns the copyright for sound recordings on the release. It is usually given as "℗ (year) (entity which owns the copyright)" on the back of releases. Some digital retailers, like iTunes, also provide phonographic copyright data. Most commonly phonographic copyrights are assigned to companies. However sometimes they are assigned to labels.
This role should only be assigned once the credit is available (do not add guesses in advance to upcoming releases).
Note: Phonographic Copyright (℗) is different from Copyright (©), companies only credited as © should not be linked as phonographic copyright holders.
This role should be linked for items sold exclusively by one retailer (or just a few retailers). For example a retailer bonus by GAMERS should have GAMERS linked as the retailer. A release sold exclusively on iTunes Store can have iTunes Store linked as the retailer. The distributor role should no longer be used for retailers.
Package Publisher, Package Manufacturer
These roles apply to enclosures only, and should be used when the CD and the enclosure are by different companies. An example is this release where the CD is by NIPPON COLUMBIA CO., LTD. and the package is by KADOKAWA CORPORATION: https://vgmdb.net/album/91065
Organizations: Columbia (Label), NIPPON COLUMBIA CO., LTD. (Manufacturer, Distributor, Phonographic Copyright), BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc. (Phonographic Copyright)
Organizations: SQUARE ENIX MUSIC (Label), SQUARE ENIX CO., LTD. (Publisher), Sony Music Solutions Inc. (Distributor), Tokyo RPG Factory Co., Ltd. (Phonographic Copyright)
Organizations: PULLTOP (Label), WillPlus, ltd. (Publisher)
Organizations: Lantis (Label), Lantis Co., Ltd. (Manufacturer, Phonographic Copyright), BANDAI VISUAL CO., LTD. (Distributor)
Organizations: SACRA MUSIC (Label, Phonographic Copyright), Sony Music Labels Inc. (Manufacturer), Sony Music Marketing Inc. (Distributor), Aniplex Inc. (Phonographic Copyright)

I'm all for this but the outlook on those entries looks too messy under the "organization" section. I don't know if this can be discussed as committee but as a suggestion how about putting breaks in between?
For example:
Label : COLUMBIA
Manufacturer, Distributor, Phonographic Copyright: NIPPON COLUMBIA CO., LTD.
Phonographic Copyright : BANDAI NAMCO Entertainment Inc.
New organization links are now open to all Trusted Editors, you can find them under the "Manage Orgs" link in the Edit Album menu.
@ᄐv๑–X²: sorry, missed the post. We have iterated a bunch of times on the design and the current one was the only one that looked good on both small and big albums that have a ton of performer credits, adding a lot of new rows on those one didn't look very good.
If I see "製作", do I need to mark the manufacturer?
Yes, I think adding 製作 as the manufacturer should be fine.
Edit: Ignore the above. 製作 is also often used for production companies (esp. on anime), so it's best not to add 製作 as the manufacturer if an English translation isn't provided on the release.

If the package from the included bonus or on a regular release does not clearly indicate "発売元", "販売元" and so on, then I can only mark the company as a label?
Only a brand/imprint should be linked as a label, not a company.
Even if isn't clearly given on the release, you can still link the publishing company when it's known from reliable online sources or otherwise.

I'll bet you're wondering how this blog came about? Well, I'll tell ya' all about it. Ron Schenone, author of The Blade here at Chris Pirillo's Lockergnome site, recommended me to Chris P. and Bob Fogarty as a potential new contributor.
This blog is going to be mostly about Linux (technical baloney, etc.) and a little about my everyday observations on whatever comes my way. I hope you'll stop by and read it occasionally… and comment, of course. We love comments!
Happy reading!
Addenda I – 30 December, 2010: At one time, I wrote articles about non-technical subjects here on this blog. However, I decided to separate that non-techie stuff out and write it on another blog entirely. That blog is Nocturnal Slacker v2.0 (at wordpress.com). If you liked my general topic ramblings and stories, stop on by over there. Don't forget to comment. We still love the comments. ; – )

What is significant?The explorations of Hamilton Hume and William Hilton Hovell into inland New South Wales and Victoria on route to the Port Phillip District in 1824-25 and the favourable reports of the land they had seen was a significant event in the colonization of Victoria. Hamilton Hume had taken up a pastoral property at Gunning near Goulburn in 1821, and in 1824 he set off from his property at Gunning near Goulburn with William Hovell on their famous and ground-breaking expedition to Port Phillip Bay. The explorations of the party were also undoubtedly of personal interest to the pastoralist Hume and no doubt influenced other members of the Hume family in taking up pastoral land in northern Victoria and southern New South Wales near to the Murray. Hume also had significant associations with the Port Philip district through his marriage to Elizabeth Dight, a sister of John and Charles Dight who built the water-powered flour mill on the Yarra River in the area which now bears the name of Dight's Falls.
John Kennedy Hume, the brother of Hamilton Hume acquired property near Gunning in New South Wales in 1823 expanded it with purchases in 1836. His pastoral run was originally known as Wooloowandella, but the homestead, which is believed to have been built between 1836 and 1839, was given the name Collingwood. Hume had apparently also intended to take up a run on the south side of the Murray River but before he was able to do so he was fatally wounded at Gunning on 20 January 1840 while assisting neighbours in resisting a party of bushrangers headed by the notorious Thomas Whitton. With the assistance of Hamilton Hume, John Kennedy Hume's wife Elizabeth took up the Yarroweya [later Yarrawonga] run in 1842 but it is not known when she first resided at the property. It has been assumed that Elizabeth Hume's house Byramine on the Yarrawonga property was constructed shortly after the run was taken up in 1842. This assumption is based on accounts of Elizabeth Hume personally travelling to the property in 1842 accompanied by a party which included skilled building tradesmen and carrying a plan for a house which had been prepared by an English architect for use in India. In correspondence dated February 1857, however, Elizabeth Hume indicated that 'my servants formed the Yarrawonga Station by placing my stock upon the same' and it is clear that Hamilton Hume managed the Yarrawonga property until at least 1849. Also, records indicate that Elizabeth Hume was still residing at her home Collingwood at Gunning until 1850. Unless Byramine was built for a property overseer, the house is unlikely to have been built prior to Elizabeth Hume's move to the property in the early 1850s.
Following Elizabeth Hume's death in July 1864, the pre-emptive right passed into the hands of James McCulloch and James Kennedy. In 1869, John Rutherford took possession and it was while in his ownership that a Survey of Country Lands first recorded the location of 'brick cottage-home station' and other farm buildings. Byramine passed through a number of hands before being purchased by James Clarke who covered the timber shingle roof of the house in corrugated iron. The house later fell into disrepair and was severely neglected by the time the property was purchased by the Dufty family in 1922. Recognizing its historic value, family member Alice Dufty resisted pressures for its demolition, returned it to a habitable state, and maintained it until the family disposed of the property in 1980. The homestead site was later excised from the pastoral property and run as a functions venue and tourist resource.
How is it significant?Byramine Homestead is of architectural and historical significance to the State of Victoria.
Why is it significant?Byramine Homestead is of architectural significance for its rare planning form generated by the octagonal principal rooms and entrance hall and is also significant as a distinctive example of the Colonial Regency style. The encircling verandah creates an appearance reminiscent of a colonial bungalow. It bears a close similarity to only one other house in Victoria, Habbies Howe near Seymour, which was probably built in the late 1840s. The claims that both the Byramine and Habbies Howe designs have Indian associations cannot be verified.
Byramine Homestead is of historical significance for its associations with the pioneering Hume family and the pastoral industry of the Murray region of Victoria. The property is significant for its association with explorer Hamilton Hume who managed the property on behalf of the owner Elizabeth Hume, the widow of his brother John Kennedy Hume who was murdered by bushrangers in 1840.

Mil-Spec is continuing to roll out modified Hummer H1s. Its latest wasn't built for a specific buyer, so as of the writing of this article, it's available to purchase by anyone.
It showcases some Baja-inspired parts, as well as another color available for the beast of an SUV. The new truck is simply named 004, as it's the fourth production-spec model from the company, and it started life as a convertible four-door truck model.
Among its Baja-inspired accessories are the rear sport bar and spare tire mount. It has massive 40-inch tires, suitable for use in sandy locations, and of course the beige color is very reminiscent of the desert.
It also has a large brush guard, fender flares and a light bar. The combination of parts is actually quite close to the company's first production-spec vehicle, the 001.
Interestingly, this truck does not feature the Baja Suspension Package, which increases suspension travel to 13 inches and adds remote reservoir shocks for high-speed off-roading. But it does have a 500-horsepower 6.6-liter Duramax turbodiesel V8.
It also includes some upgraded interior with more insulation and nicer materials. Mil-Spec is asking $249,000 for the 004.

The dining room
The Güell family dining room preserves the original dining table and twelve chairs used by the family, and a walnut fireplace designed by Camil Oliveras. Also noteworthy are the wooden dado rails around the walls, decorated with animals of an oriental influence, by the same architect.
The dining room is separated from the bay window room by a partition made of wood and wrought iron of Arab inspiration.

Today is National Health Care Decisions Day, when we are prompted to become informed on the importance of advance planning for end-of-life medical care.
A new poll shows that most New Jerseyans (97 percent) have discussed their end-of-life wishes with a loved one and 39 percent have talked about it with a lawyer or a financial planner.
But the gap between talking and taking action to record those wishes is substantial. "People are thinking about their end-of-life care wishes, but there's a real gap when it comes to discussing them and writing them down," said Ashley Koning, assistant research professor and director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling. "The gap is wider for some groups more than others, influenced by key factors like age, gender and race."
The poll shows that only 30 percent of New Jerseyans are pragmatic — and organized — enough to have a written document detailing their wishes. At the same time, the poll, by the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute in partnership with the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, also finds that six in 10 New Jerseyans (61 percent) have given a great deal or at least some thought to the issue.
"We know the best way to make sure your end-of-life wishes are respected and honored is to discuss and document them. And that's why we created Conversation of Your Life (COYL)," said Linda Schwimmer, president and CEO of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute. "We therefore need physicians, nurses and other health care providers to encourage patients to talk about — and then document — their wishes. And if health care providers don't bring the topic up, then patients should."

Josh Miller
PhD Student
- BA in Computer Science and Neuroscience, Colgate University
About Me
- Hometown: Hamilton, New Jersey
- Field of Study: Game user research, Games with a purpose
- PhD Advisors: Magy Seif El-Nasr and Seth Cooper
Josh Miller is a PhD student studying game-user interaction and games with a purpose at Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences, mentored by Professors Seth Cooper and Magy Seif El-Nasr. Josh's research focuses on synthesizing game design principles with the psychology of learning and motivation to create seamless and engaging user experiences in non-game contexts. He is interested in creating playful, flow-state experiences for educational contexts. Josh earned his bachelor's degree in computer science and neuroscience from Colgate University in New York.
What are the specifics of your graduate education (thus far)?
My research so far has focused on improving the tutorial of Foldit, the protein-folding puzzle game. By grounding the design in Self-Determination Theory and Cognitive Load Theory, I am able to craft a more intuitive experience for new players.
What are your research interests?
I am interested in game-user interaction, games with a purpose, game design, and the psychology of learning and motivation. Together, these interests become the discovery of playful elements of non-game contexts. I also focus on minimizing cognitive load while maximizing engagement and retention, by synthesizing grounded theories and industry practices and principles.
What's one problem you'd like to solve with your research/work?
Using games as a tool for formal and informal learning is currently an unsolved problem. How do learning and play relate? What is the core experience of discovering new things, and can we build a game or interface around that to enable players to explore new topics in an enjoyable and casual way? This work could unlock new questions into how we understand education, intrinsic motivation, play-ability, and playfulness.
What aspect of what you do is most interesting?
Games are one of the newest forms of art, and one of the only forms that are interactive. They are so nascent that no one has realized their full potential as a set of tools which enable problem-solving and human expression from a unique perspective. Truly, this field is the research of playful problem-solving, and it is so enjoyable to be a part of it.
What are your research or career goals, going forward?
I'm currently looking toward the design of transformational games: making games which are both transformational in their own right and help advance the theory of designing good transformational games.

Raising The Roof
By Jon Lewis
The removal of the downtown redding mall's roof (part 2)
Story: Jon Lewis
Mary Stegall moved to Redding in 1992 and quickly realized there was a problem with the downtown mall: it was on its death bed and threatening to take the rest of downtown with it.
"The heart of the city was being ignored," says Stegall, who made revitalizing downtown a central issue in her successful Redding City Council campaign in 2000. "It was apparent the mall was dying, but also that it's a central piece of downtown," adds Stegall, who was re-elected in 2006 and now serves as Redding's mayor.
"It was like watching somebody on life support," says Doni Greenberg, a former newspaper columnist who had long complained that the mall had become an obsolete and oppressive weight that had squeezed the life out of downtown Redding.
John Truitt, executive director of Viva Downtown, likens the mall to "the world's largest museum of house plants" and like Stegall, he complains that the mall is not much more than a bunch of walls that close off and lock up three blocks in the downtown core.
Others shared those concerns, including some downtown business and property owners who began to complain in the mid-1990s that taxpayer money intended for the redevelopment of the downtown area was being spent in other parts of town.
Larry Morgon, Redding's redevelopment manager and the city's point man for bringing downtown back to life, says then-city manager Mike Warren heard those complaints and asked the interested parties to come up with some options for Redding's Redevelopment Agency to consider.
Business owners got together with engineers and architects, including longtime downtown advocate James Theimer, and met over several months at Chocolat de Nanette's to come up with a downtown plan. Other stakeholders attended the meetings "and started getting their two cents in," Morgon says, and ultimately a downtown plan was presented to the council.
The council, which doubles as the redevelopment agency, accepted the report and promptly sat on it. However, the seeds had been sown – both for the mall's reincarnation and the establishment of the Downtown Business Improvement District and Viva Downtown, a nonprofit group that created the popular summertime MarketFest event.
Eventually, the mall claimed a higher spot on the city's priority list and money was made available for Mark Brodeur and the Urban Design Studio to produce the Downtown Specific Plan, which was adopted in 2001.
The upshot of the report: "You can't talk about downtown without talking about the mall, and you have to take the roof off or put the streets back through," Morgon says. The plan also suggested open space, a park and a theater where Rite Aid once stood.
Rite Aid, conveniently enough, had already decided to relocate to the corner of Eureka Way and Court Street and its old store was offered to the city at an attractive price. Morgon says the city didn't want to take on the building itself, but was interested in supporting a partner.
Looking for a spot to build a satellite campus and flush with Proposition 1A funds, Shasta College arrived on the scene in 2003 as a perfect partner. The college had been considering some property adjacent to Sequoia Middle School, but Stegall put Shasta College President Gary Lewis in touch with the Rite Aid people and a deal was struck. "I wasn't in on all the negotiations, but it worked," Stegall says.
Indeed it did. The Rite Aid building was demolished, the northwest corner of the mall's roof was removed and the spectacular, $18 million Shasta College Health Sciences and University Center was established.
With the northernmost corner of the roof gone, fresh air flowed in, and with it came new businesses and a new interest in downtown Redding. Next up is the rest of the roof, the rotted and leaky lid that is slated to come down by year's end at a cost of $1.7 million.
Removing the roof means the addition of "connectivity," the people-friendly notion that one will be able to take a nighttime stroll from the college center to the Cascade Theatre without having to circumnavigate a walled-off mausoleum.
"Everybody is happy the roof is coming off," says Michelle Goedert, the facilities manager of the Midtown Mall Benefit Corp., the organization representing downtown mall property owners. "It will be nice not to have 60 rain barrels out when it rains."
"It just feels like finally, one piece at a time, Redding is getting its downtown back," says Greenberg. "I'm really excited about it. Downtown was a gathering place for people and I hope that's what it becomes again." •
Editor's note: The possibilities presented by the 'new' mall and its role in defining downtown Redding in the 21st century will be examined in the September issue of Enjoy.

Does Dental Clinic Interior Design Matters?
Design is some of the thing which actually matters a lot in every of the field no matter it is about a pencil or from a simple tiny thing to a large buildings every of the thing is based and matters a lot on its designs because the more its designs is good the more it works. For an example you are staying in a five start hotel and the furniture you are using is not that much good not in material but in design like you like pure white color of sofa set but what you been offered is a regular brown color sofa which does not suits you a lot so instead of getting satisfaction even after paying much more than other hotel charges you are not feeling good and it is an obvious that you might not no longer wanted to stay in this hotel, isn't? Further, your lounge which is your normal sitting room with family and close cousins or friends and few days back due to heavy rainfall which caused a seepage and all your interior design got messed up so now you wouldn't like to sit in your lounge with your friends until and unless you get it fixed because you won't like any one to say you any of the thing about your interior design even you tried to fix it up as soon as possible and similarly when you interior design become very old and does not matched with the current designing.
In an addition, there can be any condition and you can take any example as you like and compare it with designing most importantly interior design even you can take an example of a car like take two cars of the same model and with every of the things same except the interior designing so you will love to drive the one which has a good interior design. So now let us discuss about the clinic specially a dental clinic interior design as it is our actual topic of today. A dental fitouts Melbourne interior design does really matters because many patients comes to visit a dentist and if they didn't found a good environment or a good dental clinic interior design so they would mind to come next time because cleanliness is something which creates a fresh environment, hygienic and a healthy environment.
Moreover, the dental clinic interior design is also very important because at the time of dental treatment you are in your conscious unlike in other health condition in which you are not feeling very well so you would not be able to care about the designing. So dental clinic interior design got more importance like when there are long procedure the patient has to laid and the only thing he can do is to see and noticed an environment and the dental clinic interior design so it the dental clinic interior design is enough user friendly and interactive which makes you busy and keep your mind busy and you didn't feel that where your time gone and at the end when you done with the dentist you feel like that you just came in and just got done.

I was just watching this video as the guy starts off with a translator, even though he can speak English, so that you do don't make assumptions based on his accent. He questions imitating others and failing and learning who you are as a person.
Who Am I?
Right now I would say I am a Muslim American but, I don't think I fit into one box.
When I was two weeks old I was adopted from Texas by a white American couple of mostly Canadian and European descent. My birth family according to the paper work was at least part Mexican. I've recently discovered from a DNA test my background closest is Mexican and Columbian, farther away is European, Asian, and North African.
As a child my parents were light skin and my mom had blond hair. During the summer months, I tanned very easily and had almost black hair. When I was out with my mom many would say you must look like your dad.
Once or twice on a trip to Canada my parents were questioned about my background being so much darker during summer months. Often as a child and through college people would come up to me and just start speaking Spanish.
When I was in eight grade a teacher took a census of our background. I don't really wear a sign that says I was adopted and I am Mexican or even hispanic. So you can imagine the confusion when I raised my hand to say so, when they knew my parents, but didn't know the rest of my background. The teacher ended up taking the poll twice.
As an adult who wears a hijab many have assumed I can speak Arabic, but unfortunately I only know few words. I even had someone who knew me before say I became Arab instead of becoming Muslim. Others assume I don't speak English and are confused when they hear me speak.
Once after I started wearing my hijab, I was trying to enter my apartment at the time and someone stood and blocked the door. They asked where I was from, I normally don't mind these questions, I said I was American, not satisfied asked no really where are you from, I said I was born in the United States. Still not satisfied asked where are your parents from, I simply just stated Mexican because I wanted to get in the door lol. He looked very confused and said "oh" and let me by. I shouldn't answer people so quickly, but I'm not always sure what to say. I'm also not always ready to give a lengthy answer, I could answer any number of ways. I could say the state I was born in or the state I was raised in, maybe there is even a philosophical answer. If I went with my parents and most of my grandparents almost everyone was born in the United States. My birth parents whom I've never met gave me my genetic makeup. I could just always answer I'm American and say my husband is Moroccan, for a simple quit answer. Sometimes I just say I'm from here, and just stop, I am proud of who I am, even if I don't always give myself a label. If you see me I never mind answering questions and no apologies for my confusing identity, as a famous cartoon use to say:
"I yam what I yam, and that's all what I yam."
― Popeye the sailorman
