In March 2015, homeowners approached onsite designer Penny Wright of Nottingham, New Hampshire, to design a replacement system, but she was too ill to work. Throughout the summer and fall, 17 other designers evaluated the property and walked away in defeat. The owners finally got their system when Wright recovered.
Wright established her reputation for tackling projects nobody else wanted to touch while working for New Hampshire Soil Consultants. As a sideline, she opened The Wright Choice Septics in 1997, designing a few systems a year for friends. In 2008, the economic downturn caused NHSC to lay off its entire septic department.
Wright switched her business to full time, and was hired three weeks later to design a replacement system for a hotel on a cliff that dropped almost straight down to a river. The structure was built on a slab, and all the plumbing ran through it to the tanks, which straight-piped to the water. "No other designer would look at it," Wright recalls. "That project launched my company, and I've remained busy ever since."
Wright spent 10 years becoming familiar with New Hampshire's varied climates and soils. The former ranges from temperate in the south and coastal areas to frigid in the northern White Mountains. Of the state's six soil groups, Group 3 (sand and loam) and Group 4 (ledges) are most common. The southern region where Wright works is densely populated, often with two- and three-bedroom cottages built after World War II on thumbprint lots, many on the back-barrier salt marshes.
"The homes had septic tanks straight-piped to the marshes," says Wright. "Homes not on marshes had holding tanks, which residents popped holes in rather than pay for weekly or even more frequent pumping."
In response to those environmental problems and the mid-1980s building boom, the state approved alternative products such as plastic leaching tubes and plastic chambers. But there were problems. "We're constantly replacing them," says Wright. Installers and septic evaluators report finding liquid in the leaching tubes and a biomat on the bottom.
"The aerobic bacteria were drowning and creating the biomat," says Wright. She removed them from the equation by turning to aeration pretreatment. While no product is a perfect fit for every site, Wright prefers the Clean Solution ATU from Advanced Onsite Solutions (formerly Wastewater Alternatives). "The shoebox-size air compressor plugs into a standard outlet, makes less noise than a refrigerator, and doesn't require a licensed electrician," she says.
While aeration pretreatment prolongs the life of leaching tubes and chambers, it doesn't prevent the chambers from failing prematurely because they have lost up to half their volume.
"Evaluators tell homeowners if they have septic problems, then a designer comes out to rectify them," says Wright. "I'm finding 13- to 15-inch-high chambers one-third to one-half full of coarse sand due to settling. What confuses me is I'm not seeing any above-ground depressions associated with their sinking, and no one I've talked to has heard of an answer."
Wright suspects the chambers were not installed correctly or a design flaw enables them to settle during backfilling and grading. In 2010, manufacturers widened the chamber lips and are recommending placing concrete sidewalk blocks under the corners where chambers meet to support them.
"The Granite State Designers and Installers installed five different drainfields at an adult day care facility in Stratford," says Wright. "The fields are monitored every few months by Tom Canfield, who runs the state septic evaluator certification program. In the next few years, it will be interesting to see which changes, if any, have made a difference regarding leaching tubes and plastic chambers."
Wright designs 30 to 35 systems per year, with 80 percent residential. Replacing those systems with 600 gpd designs equals 90 percent of her work. Whenever possible, Wright prefers pretreatment aeration with traditional stone-and-pipe drainfields.
"The state gives such systems almost a 90 percent reduction — 900 to 1,200 square feet down to 150 square feet," she says. "Stone-and-pipe is simple and reliable, while the smaller footprint enables people to use most of their yard."
Her design challenges frequently include access — the most expensive system required renting a crane to lift components over the house — tiny lots, property line disputes, tidal buffers, shoreline regulations, and local conservation commissions. Such projects drag out for three to 12 months, and involve surveyors and advising clients to hire an attorney.
"Attorneys are proficient at obtaining legal access permits and explaining grandfathered rights to neighbors and officials," says Wright. "In one instance, the abutter needed a replacement septic worse than my client. When the man's attorney explained my client's legal rights to the abutter, that person suddenly realized everything he would be up against for a septic repair and became much more cooperative."
Wright always consults with clients on-site before accepting projects. Her homework includes referring to the Army Corps of Engineers soil map to gain a feel for the land, and obtaining the property's tax card for a bedroom count. "If homeowners have a septic design or some other legal paper that shows a different number of bedrooms, then I'll design for that. Otherwise, I follow the tax card and not what clients tell me," she says.
Working in the onsite industry for 21 years has taught Wright a few tricks that aren't in the state technical college's curriculum. For example, many lots are on ledge, especially in New Castle. To locate suitable test pit sites, she walks around the backyard with clients looking for multiple chipmunk holes. "In winter, chipmunks need sleeping quarters below the frost line and above the water table," she says. "They burrow in areas where the ledge probably dips, and that's where we'll dig, too."
Wright often encounters situations where a family member is taking medications that will harm the system's microorganisms. She advises patients receiving radiation and chemotherapy to rent a commode throughout treatment and to continue using it two to three weeks afterward to maintain the system's healthy microbial colony.
"People should ask their county and hospital social workers or the local Visiting Nurse Association about obtaining home medical equipment," says Wright. "The VNA also will have information on who can empty the commode's storage tank and dispose of the waste." She advises asking the VNA about safe home cleaning products or to suggest a certified biohazard cleaning company, as bleach and strong detergents will kill the microbes in the tank and field.
Wright also applies her magical touch to designing 1,000 to 20,000 gpd systems for shopping centers, senior-assisted living communities or subdivisions. Although this comprises only 20 percent of her work, rapid turnarounds on cookie-cutter systems are the company's bread and butter. "Most commercial projects come from professional engineers," says Wright. "I'm extremely good at limiting their liability, which is a huge sales point."
The state requires a licensed designer and installer — Wright is both — a professional engineer, and a construction inspection report for systems larger than 2,500 gpd. Wright monitors those installations, then writes the report. It includes copies of invoices to verify specified components were installed, and photos of utility locations to aid future contractors.
"The reports limit liability for all parties by ensuring that systems are installed correctly, but I go a step further," says Wright. "I know which contractors have excellent reputations in each field and, depending on the site's requirements, I assemble my A-team from them." Such dedication produces brand loyalty. The owner of Nordic Village in Bartlett and Nestlenook in Jackson refuses anyone except Wright to touch his septic systems.
Another of Wright's specialties is keeping commercial designs below 20,000 gpd to avoid the state's perpetual ground discharge monitoring program. One example is Baxter Lake Campground, which had 365 lots, 321 of them with cabins. Only 110 lots were permitted for septic and 114 lots were permitted for community well water, with seven lots having both permits. The state agreed to permit the occupied lots, but the 44 unoccupied parcels were designated permanent green spaces.
"My 16,210 gpd design was based on six months of water meter readings from the four wells instead of sizing by soil," says Wright. "Most soils were Group 3, which are assigned 1,250 gpd per acre."
The five septic tank/pump stations, sized according to the number of lots served, pumped to a 3,000-gallon dosing tank, then to the original undersized drainfield. Wright's design specified repurposing the dosing tank to a buffer tank and building a new pump station. It pumped effluent to a distribution box feeding six 38.5-foot-wide by 100-foot-long drainfields in a large athletic field. Six fields enabled one to always be dormant.
Referrals from contractors and evaluators drive the business, but persuading local and state officials to consider multiple waivers and options requires involving them from day one. "Once they understand how a design will bring the lot as close as possible to current standards, they grant clients concessions they never thought possible," says Wright. "It just takes being 100 percent open and honest."
Magic act
By day, Penny Wright wore work boots to evaluate properties before designing new or replacement onsite systems. By night or on weekends, she transformed into a mysterious woman in high heels and an evening gown, introducing magic acts.
"I couldn't speak in public," says Wright, owner of The Wright Choice Septics. "Therefore, I wanted my children to be comfortable doing it and to master other skills they would need as adults."
A chance meeting with Wendel Gibson, owner of Gibson Magic Co., let the genie out of the bottle. "The kids went crazy, because years ago my father had purchased one of Gibson's first magic effects and later gave it to them," says Wright. Gibson introduced the family to the Society of Young Magicians and Phillip, then 8, and Arwen, 6, became members.
Through the years, the children's involvement with magic taught them public speaking, how to run a business and schedule bookings, how to interact with the public, and how to apply science when building props for their acts. Wright benefited as well. "Magic is nothing but science presented artfully," she says. "Helping the kids build props taught me different ways to look at things. It's responsible for my reputation for thinking sideways, which is a reference to magic."
A perfect example is the girl who climbs into a magician's box. When the audience views her straight on, she is much broader than when she turns sideways. "Creating magic effects taught me how to fit septic components into places deemed impossible," says Wright. "Every one of my creative septic ideas is based on a magic trick."

There is a paper Option pricing with transaction costs and a nonlinear black-scholes equation by Guy Barles and Halil Mete Soner. And there is a section about optimal (delta) hedging, which I do not fully understand.
The conclusion of optimal hedge section states that:
So what is g() here? I couldn't find it's definition previously. Can someone give a real (numeric) example of calculations according to this model? I mean something like: we sell a call/put with strike S, it's delta is d, T days to expiration, etc. And after calculation we get the interval [y1, y2].

Butterfly Kisses Quilt
This beautiful quilt, lovingly created by the Havanese Quilters Group, depicts beautiful Havanese enjoying the company of butterflies. The wonderful idea came from Leeann Karlson. It was put up to vote within the group and was the winner this time! It was nicknamed "Butterfly Kisses" and it stuck! The group loved the idea of the freedom the butterfly represents and they loved the outdoor/flowery type theme/colors this motif would generate. A video of the quilt, set to music, can be seen here.
This quilt is a very happy quilt with 3D butterflies adorning the sashing. The quilt measures 50 1/2" x 62"

Nintendo has reportedly pushed South Korean prosecutors to crack down on what the company says is blatant piracy of its Wii games. Korean pirates are allegedly uploading dodgy copies of Wii and DS games onto the web for people to download for free.
Nintendo battles pirates
"They infringed on our copyright by posting Nintendo's game titles through the internet without our permission," said a Nintendo spokesperson.
"The legal action was taken against only some sites and users this time but we will take further measures if such a violation continues to take place."
An unknown number of people have been named in a preliminary lawsuit and it is believed that there could be more to come. Bad news for those who like to download pirated Nintendo games. Good news for justice-lovers.

I used AmberLee Makeup for my engagement photos, boudoir photos, and my wedding day! My makeup was fabulous for all of the events and I received a lot of compliments! Amber is relaxed and easy to work with and is just a sincerely nice person! The airbrushing looks fabulous in person and in pictures and lasts all day. She made all my bridesmaids and my mother look beautiful for my wedding and spent extra time on me making sure I was the perfect bride. I highly recommend her for any photo shoot or wedding!Sent on 11/16/2013

She is AMAZING!!! If you want to look completely flawless, this is the girl for you. Stop looking and BOOK HER!!! I had quite a few people who needed to get ready, we started to run a little behind, but Amber kept her cool and worked non-stop to get everyone ready. She was wonderful! My family is still talking about how great everyone's make-up looked. Even my mother (who NEVER wears make-up) wants an airbrush gun because she loved the way she looked. I want to get my make-up done again by her just because! She is awesome and she is the first name I think of when someone is looking for a make-up artist.Sent on 10/15/2013

AmberLee did my makeup, 6 of my bridesmaids, my mom and mother-in-laws makeup. She came to our venue and set up in our villa. Her and her assistant Feda were great to work with! All of my bridesmaids were raving about their makeup and my makeup stayed put for at least 12 hours. Didn't have to worry about it one bit!Sent on 04/19/2013

AmberLee Make Up!! Awesome work! Hire them!
The Celebrations by Amy Bacon team had the pleasure of working with AmberLee Makeup recently. To say we were impressed would be an understatement. Our bride had booked and contracted a make up artist months before the wedding and the artist canceled at the last minute. Our bride did trials with 4 artists and no one seemed to get the look she wanted. Until AmberLee!! Once the bride did the trial with AmberLee she had no doubts and finally sounded excited about her make up again. On the day of the wedding AmberLee was so flexible with location, the amount of girls, split payments, etc. She really gets customer service and her work is AMAZING! The bride, the bridesmaids, mothers, and grandmothers all looked flawless.

A fresh update to the venerable CGEM mount, the CGEM II EQ Mount has a contemporary, attractive, bold appearance and is capable of carrying Celestron's higher-end SCT optical tubes (up to 11″) securely and vibration free, which is ideal for both imaging and visual observing. Capable of holding 40 lbs. of payload and slewing at 5° per second, you will be able to instantly point to any of the celestial objects in the database.
Your solar telescope comes with an aluminium case to protect your investment from being damaged. The components of your telescope fit in to a foam cut out to prevent movement inside the case.
Lunt Hat w/Flap
As a bonus, we have added a Lunt Solar Systems hat with a flap in the back to protect you when you're out in the Sun.
This package includes everything you will need to start viewing the Sun immediately. This scope will give you amazing views of the sun, especially in good viewing conditions. It will be an unforgettable experience.

Here's today's progression. sooo tired.. due to running up and down from my room to outside of my house ..like a boss... ah well. needed some exercise anyways. did some more spraying and also haven't finish the body xD. skipped the body and wanted to do the back pack first :3
here's the chest piece. placed the parts together
and repainted the black part with Flat black this time.
wanna use Flat Black for this banshee like my HGUC BAnshee Gundam
haven't put all the parts yet for the backpack. hehe
sprayed the horn as well with Brilliant Gold
probably not using the transformable V Fins :3
sprayed the beam saber.
and gonna touch the parts that weren't sprayed with a black marker because the blu tack masked it.
Something needs to hold it anyways :P
i think that's about it for today.really can't wait to finish this kit. been a week and i just started it .. hahas.
Thank You For Viewing

Any citizen of a free and democratic country should be outraged that its government would play with the safety of its population and its visitors for political purposes like this.
The fact that the Quebec Ministry of Transport has installed these electronic safety panels in the first place speaks to the need to inform motorists of serious issues ahead, on the road. The very nature of these messages is to alert, to warn, to safeguard motorists and passengers.
That Quebec would expressly restrict such messages to a single language speaks volumes of its intolerance of the English language and its contempt and disregard of English-speaking people, be they Quebecers or from elsewhere. This is totally unacceptable.
Join me in calling upon our government, through your MNA, to change this dangerous and discriminatory policy. I call upon my MNA, David Birnbaum, a principled man of goodwill, to speak with his colleagues in government, and to help them to see the serious error in this dangerous policy.

BeagleBoard xm and WLAN
I tried to connect an USB WLAN adapter to my board and thought it should work out-of-the-box like my cordless mouse (WLAN c'mon). But that was not the case. The good news is that it already works. The bad news is that it took hours to figure out how it works.
Maybe my requirements are too specific (I don't think so), but the documentation in the Internet about beagleboard stuff is not really good. I found a lot of old articles and most of them did not work or did not work with my software. It took hours to find information snippets for my requirements.
Are a fixed MAC address and WLAN support really too modern?
Anyway, I try to prepare my hardware before I start with development. I'm not totally happy at the moment because my touch screen does not work with JavaFX applications. It's an ELO touchscreen EL1725 connected via USB. I hope that this ticket solves my problem.
Some background information for my WLAN adapter
I read the manual before I bought an adapter and was suprised that only some specific adapters were supported (maybe the documentation is not up-to-date). I chose Trendnet TEW-648UBM Micro. It was not in the list, but I thought it could work...
After I plugged the adapter to my last free USB port I checked dmesg and saw no errors. The adapter was detected and I thought it should work. Typed
and got error messages. Checked dmesg and saw an information about missing firmware.
The adapter needs a firmware but it didn't find it on my SD card . I asked one of my best friends, google, and got a lot of results but no answer. So I tried
because dmesg showed me that my adapter has a realtek chip. I got results, but no firmware. The next try was:
I got too many results My next attempt:
I found my firmware and installed it:
Now the adapter was integrated but it was not configured. My WLAN is secured with a passphrase.
I tried to configure the wlan0 interface via /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf but without success. So I asked google again and found some "useful" articles:
Beaglebone WiFi
Beagleboard WiFi USB dongle
The second article was not bad but did not work. The last one was better but it did not work as described
Mabe I did not understand something that was written between the lines.
What I did:
I did nothing with /etc/network/interfaces because the connman has its own configuration! So I created a file with the name /var/lib/connman/wifi.config. To find out the SSID the following command was useful:
Set [WiFi] Enabled = true in /var/lib/connman/settings.
My wifi.config
Name = NetworkName
Description = Home WLAN
Type = wifi
ssid = 123456789
Passphrase = mypassword
Be sure that your Name is equal to the name in the service section. The ssid was taken from output of
mynetwork {wifi_<macaddr>_<sid>_managed_psk}
My /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# Wireless interfaces
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
# wireless_mode managed
# wireless_essid any
# wpa-driver wext
# wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
iface atml0 inet dhcp
# Wired or wireless interfaces
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth1 inet dhcp
After rebooting the board the connection was established automatically. If you have problems, use gnome to check your network settings or try to establish a connection with your network.
Sometimes during startup it was not possible to load the firmware for the adapter, but normally it worked without problems. If you have problems, simply use dmesg and journalctl to find error details.

In the immediate post-Cold War era the focus of naval operations changed from conventional open-ocean warfare towards maritime security, coastal operations and amphibious warfare. The possibility that fleets of warships might again have to slog it out against each other on the high seas seemed increasingly unlikely and even rather old-fashioned. Geopolitical changes manifest in the revival of the Russian Navy and the rapidly growing Chinese military are now driving western navies to seriously re-think their ability to sink warships.Read More›
Amongst informed defence commentators it has been an open secret for several years, but on 29th January a BBC report finally put the engine problems of the Type 45 destroyers into the public eye. The MoD has consistently played down the seriousness of the issue, that had on occasions resulted in total propulsion and electrical failure, leaving ships dead in the water. Even Parliamentary questions were met with vague assurances that "progress was being made". The media coverage has since been predictably excessive, giving the unfortunate impression that Type 45s are £1Billion cripples. Although these breakdowns have hampered their operation, all the Type 45s have completed major deployments and HMS Defender is currently on a 9-month Gulf and Indian Ocean deployment.Read More›

2015 saw the publication of the latest in a string of fascinating titles dealing with the Cold War history of the Royal Navy Submarine Service. Secrets of the Conqueror (2012), Hunter Killers (2013) and Cold War Command (2014) were essentially based on stories told by RN submariners.

Multilingual writers face the dilemma in finding a balance between two contradictory voices: one is the "authentic" American voice that is considered the standard in the eyes of professors and peers; the other is the voice that bears our own culture and identity that defines who we are. On the one hand, multilingual writers want to meet the standard and sound more "American" in their writings. On the other hand, as language is the carrier of culture, by learning to write in an "American" voice, multilingual writers fear that they will lose their own voice and encounter an identity crisis. As a multilingual writer myself, I constantly fight with the two voices during my writing process and struggle to reach a balance between authentic American language and my own voice. At the same time, as a tutor, I try to find and accept my voice and develop my tutoring practice, while still guiding multilingual writers who face the same dilemma as I do to reach a balance with which they feel most comfortable with.
I interviewed three multilingual writers who are international students from China: two undergraduates and one graduate student. In the following section, I will discuss the results of my interviews and refer to my own experiences as a multilingual writer. Specifically, I am going to discuss the main challenges that prevent multilingual writers from developing their own voice and how I try to handle those challenges through my writing center tutoring practices.
- The Sense of Insecurity: Seeing "American Voice" as the Norm
In their own countries, multilingual writers are taught to imitate American expressions and use them in their own writing. During my interviews, international students reveal that when writing English essays or papers, they fear that their expressions are Chinglish, which refers to Chinese English, so they learn to understand American thinking patterns in order to grasp the way Americans express ideas and thoughts. The education many multilingual writers receive in their own countries emphasizes the importance of "authentic" English. So, they get used to searching English expressions on Google to check the authenticity of their expressions. When coming to America to pursue further education, they become more afraid of not sounding "American," as they don't want to appear different in the American academic setting. The graduate student I interviewed relied on their American adviser or colleagues to proofread their language before submitting their paper to an academic journal. As a multilingual writer, I have the same fear of sounding foreign in my papers. There was a time when I couldn't submit my papers without first having my American friends proofread them to make sure that I was not so "weird" in my expressions. Many multilingual writers fear that their non-standard/foreign expressions will not be accepted in the American academic setting. They see their own voice as deviating from the standard and treat their American peers and advisors as the authorities, which causes them to abandon their own voices in favor of getting closer to a standardized language.
To address multilingual writers' sense of insecurity, which is caused by the fear that native English speakers will reject the presence of a foreign voice in academic writing, both multilingual writers and tutors need to accept diverse voices—both from clients and from tutors. The writing center should not be a "purified space," using a single authoritative discourse and excluding other foreign ones (Petit 111–112). Both tutors and multilingual writers need to focus on the value of differences, such as bringing in different identities to expand the inclusiveness of the writing center as well as of American academic settings (Kiedaisch and Dinitz 44).
- Order of Concerns: The Persistence in Grammar
Multilingual writers tend to classify grammar issues in their papers into the higher order of concerns. They are very anxious about grammar accuracy, and they further pursue standardized grammar to reach perfection. Their persistence in focusing on grammar issues is due to the education they receive in their own countries. The international students I interviewed revealed that they have been learning grammar since primary school and a large portion of their English tests were focused on grammar. So, the truth is that multilingual writers may not be deficient in grammar: in fact, they almost certainly know more about the parts that make up the English language than their native counterparts. Their problem is that they might simply not understand how to approach writing tasks in other ways, for example, the development of ideas and the structure. As a tutor, I know that being picky about grammar errors will make the matter worse. I try to begin by focusing on global aspects of the paper and then on local aspects such as grammar errors, so that gradually multilingual writers learn that there are things that are more important than minor grammar errors, such as the content and the structure of their writing. I repeatedly inform them that a good paper is not about grammar. In "What Makes Writing Good? An Essential Question for Teachers," good writing needs to take a lot of things into consideration, including good thinking, communication, structure, clarity, purpose, voice and correction (Nauman 322–325). So, tutors need to inform multilingual writers that grammar should not be the only concern we have in writing a paper.
- Writers' Request for Reformulation and Asking Tutors to Appropriate
Appropriation and reformulation are the two largest threats that prevent multilingual writers from developing their own voice. Appropriation is when tutors take control over the writers' text (Severino 53). And reformulation, as a tutoring method, is the act of correcting and revising multilingual writers' writing in order to make it native-sounding (Severino 52). So, if the majority of a text has been reformulated, we might say that the tutor appropriated it. By appropriation, tutors nativize the language and pose a threat to the writers' ownership and authorship of the text. However, during the tutoring session, multilingual writers may still ask for appropriation and reformulation, as they are willing to sacrifice their voice for "authentic" American language. The international students I interviewed said that they would feel so relieved and happy if the tutors could do the work for them so that they could save time and energy. Tutors' reformulation satisfies their desire for sounding native. In this case, do tutors still let writers take the directive role of the session and pay attention to their requests? Due to the different cultural backgrounds of multilingual writers—not all are the same—as well as their difference from American writers, tutors need to be flexible in deciding whether or not to take a directive role in the session with multilingual writers. As tutors, we need to understand the needs of multilingual writers rather than follow their requests and needs without scrutiny, meaning that we need to take the directive role when necessary. When writers ask the tutor to reformulate their language, we need to take the directive role and turn their attention from the language to the global aspects of the paper. Or, if the language is really a serious concern—that is, blurring or misleading the meaning of the text—we can point out some problems in their language as examples, offer them some rules or advice on handling specific errors, and let them improve the writing on their own, thus training them to become self-editors. The line is that we can't edit the papers for the writers, and we have to reject their request for reformulation and avoid appropriation when this request is made. By letting multilingual writers be directive in improving their own papers, we encourage the use of their original voice and do not deprive them of their authorship and ownership of their papers.
Other Strategies
Besides the above methods targeted to deal with specific challenges that prevent multilingual writers from developing their own voice, some other strategies can also be helpful in addressing multilingual writers' dilemma of voice and identity.
First, as I mentioned above, multilingual writers' obsession with sounding more "American" is related to their education, cultural background and beliefs; therefore, it is important to show empathy for their dilemma of being caught between different needs and desires. In order to have empathy, tutors need to understand the frustration and confusion multilingual writers are going through during their writing process and put themselves in the writers' place. Lu, a Chinese immigrant growing up in America, compares the academic discourse to a swimming pool, and language as a tool for surviving in the pool (444–445). For multilingual writers, they can either produce the tool, which means develop their own voice, or try to acquire and use the tool made by others, which means adopt "authentic" American voice (Lu 444–445). Either way, multilingual writers struggle hard in order to survive. This metaphor shows multilingual writers' great difficulties, frustration and confusion with American academic discourse. With empathy, tutors can better provide support by withholding judgment and comforting them so that they know they are not alone. Empathy gives multilingual writers' courage and strength to keep going on the way to find their own voice in writing.
Second, tutors who are also multi-language learners can help multilingual writers establish confidence and comfort in their own voice. During the tutoring session, besides discussing the expectations of academic writing in the U.S., tutors can act as culturally informed peers who note that diverse voices are accepted and it's fine for multilingual writers to be themselves and not use standardized English. Through multilingual tutors, not only do other tutors in the writing center understand more about multilingual writers and learn to accept diverse voices, but also multilingual writers can feel that they have a space at the writing center and feel more comfortable about their own voice. So, writing centers need to recruit multilingual tutors who understand different education systems outside the U.S.. Through staffing and training, the writing center can be a more inclusive and culturally-informed place for diverse discourse.
Tutors face a lot of challenges in helping multilingual writers develop their own voice in writing, including multilingual writers' fear of sounding different in American academic settings, their obsession with perfection in standardized grammar, and their desire for reformulation. While facing those challenges related to different educational and cultural backgrounds, tutors need to have empathy for multilingual writers and resist the temptation to appropriate their writing and, rather, accept different Englishes and even other languages in the writing center. In terms of the staffing and training, writing centers can recruit multilingual tutors as cultural informants for other tutors and for multilingual writers. By discussing the expectations of academic writing in the U.S. and assuring the acceptance of diverse voices, tutors give multilingual writers freedom to choose the writing style and voice with which they feel most comfortable.

Oscar Wilde once said, "The truth is rarely pure and never simple." He also said, "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
These two quotes seemed inordinately relevant looking at the new photo iBook published by FotoEvidence, featuring the work of photojournalist and humanitarian Anthony S. Karen.
White Pride is an examination of different segments among the white separatist movement in the United States, including the Ku Klux Klan (KKK), who -- more often than not -- we're solely used to seeing in full regalia of robes, hoods and overt white separatist symbolism, from swastikas and the Hitler salute, to the burning cross.
As revealed by Anthony Karen's photography, we are given a truly unprecedented look not just into the public faces of these groups, but into the private lives of members away from public demonstrations and the usual focus of most media attention, from photographs of members at home to ceremonies most non-group members are never allowed to see.
Photo Courtesy of Anthony Karen.
Svetlana Bachevanova, the book's publisher, in an interview featured at the book's end, asked about the reason for Karen's interest, during which he explained his reasoning for not taking the usual perspective:
"[I] came across Magnum [Photo]'s archives of Ku Klux Klan images and noticed most of the imagery all displayed in a similar context. I couldn't help but wonder why no one had chosen to document the Klan without the robes on or explore what went on when these people weren't marching during a demonstration or having a cross lighting ceremony."
Like some of his other work, such as his depiction of members of Westboro Baptist Church, his access has come because people have responded to his willingness to be open enough to see what is there, rather than having an openly combative or visible bias. Instead, as he says to Bachevanova, he feels an obligation "to observe without judgment."
Like many of Anthony Karen's subjects, these are groups of people who are often cast by both the public and the media in an extreme light because photographs such as the more extreme are, as he says in the interview, often more "marketable." This would make it seem that the everyday life of these groups is considered less interesting or even banal.
But ironically, it is the very human aspect of Karen's photography that has been the most controversial, because instead of depicting these men and women in the usual hyperbolic terms we're used to and more comfortable with, he allows us the discomfort of seeing them in their everyday lives. This more human depiction has come with accusations of racism, ignorance, or even naiveté, which based on Karen's personal and professional background, is more than patently clear could not be further from the truth, and too easy an accusation to make, often solely based on such discomfort.
In an Afterward to the book, Life.com's Ben Cosgrove recognizes this difficulty in reception, pointing out that "blanket statements" which "lump" American extremist groups together serve no one, and that the "variety of methods dizzying array of agendas associated with radicals on the extreme Right or the extreme Left" makes such encompassing statements "meaningless."
"Anthony [chronicles] worlds that most of us have never seen this close, this immediately. His pictures of self-marginalizing communities, whether of white supremacists or practitioners of Haitian Voudou, remind us that the world is not a quiet, simple, smoothly operating place. It is -- and has always been -- a huge, chaotic blustering sphere... Photojournalism, from the earliest, thrilling reportage of Cartier-Bresson, Capa and the rest has been about clarity of purpose. Show what is in front of you. Document what is happening. Do away with the extraneous. Illustrate the moment... We look, and look, and look again because we recognize something here and perhaps we're simply hoping that it's not ourselves that we see."
In this book there is no apology for its perspective in attempting to give an honest depiction of these groups, and nor should there be. As Cosgrove also points out, too often it is too easy to demonize others, which separates them, marginalizes them, and then makes it then impossible to understand them enough to address the realities they represent.
As we have learned from any extremist individual or group, including last week in the Boston Marathon bombings, this is dangerous. It is an illusion that such a tendency would make us safer, no matter how much safer we may more immediately feel in doing so. Instead it is more likely that we are just immersing ourselves in a more comfortable illusion.
White Pride is indeed unique in that it allows viewers to come to their own conclusions based on what is depicted. This is indicative of Karen having enough integrity in his work and faith enough in his audience to trust them to have their own views and determine for themselves what they see and why.
This is what ethical journalism should be, rather than it being indistinguishable from editorial, as it is most often in the current journalistic landscape in which editorializing content, instead of presenting information without bias, functionally controls the narrative rather than trusting others to think for themselves, for what they think might be objectionable to certain sensibilities.
In accepting this or in doing it ourselves, we are both lambasting individuals and groups for wearing a mask while at the same time encouraging them to do so for everyone else's sake, to make one group or another easier to distinguish, rather than accepting that all groups of one kind or another are indeed made of individuals, with individual histories, experiences, biases, and agendas.
In making such individuals or groups less human, truth will invariably get lost in the mix, and a good question may be, is that what we really want? More often than not, truth and comfort are antagonistic bedfellows, and as they should be should we refuse to see the world and humanity as it is. But it is only from that place of truth that we can walk forward, in whatever capacity, and deal with what is, rather than the illusion of what we want it to be.
Simple or complex, masked or unmasked, both individuals within and outside of a group dynamic, such as the KKK or white separatists, should be seen in the light of day, and they will be who they are, with or without our judgment.
"Society can't have it both ways," says Karen in the book's interview. "We can't pick and choose who has the enviable right to free speech. It's everyone's right. Disliking someone different from you is not a rights violation, it's just a lost opportunity."

Several of Karen's photographs of the KKK were also featured in a recent Discovery Channel documentary, KKK: Beneath the Hood.

Asymmetric Information and Remittances: Evidence from Matched Administrative Data
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 20986
Using new data matching remittances and monthly payroll disbursals, we demonstrate how fluctuations in migrants' earnings in the United Arab Emirates affect their remittances. We consider three types of income fluctuations that are observable by families at home: seasonalities, weather shocks and a labor reform. Remittances move with all of these income changes. Remittances do not move with an individual's growth in earnings over time. The slope of the relationship between earnings and time in the UAE varies across individuals and is not easy to observe by families. Thus, a key characteristic that drives remittance behavior is the observability of income rather than other features of these fluctuations. The results are consistent with a private information model where remittances are viewed by the migrant worker as payments to their families in an income-sharing contract.

Introduction to Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the abnormal development of the spinal canal. The spinal canal becomes narrow and compresses the nerves and spinal cord, as well. There are two main classifications of spinal stenosis, and these are cervical and lumbar stenosis.
Lumbar stenosis affects the lower back and is characterized by lower back pain, tingling, aching, and numbness which can be felt downward to the hips and legs. Cervical spinal stenosis affects the neck and could lead to severe symptoms developing in the neck, shoulders and arms.
There are various causes of spinal stenosis, and these could range from a herniated disc to a tumour or simply aging. You do not have to undergo surgery to gain spinal stenosis, and today we will be giving you tips on how you can avoid surgery as a treatment option for spinal stenosis.
1. Manage Your Body Weight
Your body weight pays an important role in alleviating pain and inflammation of the spinal nerves. Excess weight in the body can aggravate the condition and even increase your likelihood of developing conditions such as arthritis. You need to ensure that you do not apply unnecessary pressure on your already inflamed nerves.
2. Physical Therapy
Physical therapy can also help you alleviate pain related to spinal stenosis. Physical therapy exercises stretch and strengthen your spine and the surrounding muscles, hence reducing the pressure on the spine.
Physical therapy is usually administered along with certain pain relieving medications and treatments to provide greater relief. Undergoing a physical therapy program under supervision from a Las Vegas Pain Management Doctor could help you avoid surgery.
3. Epidural Injections
Epidural injections in Las Vegas are widely used in pain management and these injections work as a temporary solution. Epidural injections have proven to be quite useful when it
comes to treating spinal stenosis and other back pain conditions.
A patient can be put through a series of three epidural injections over a 4-6 week period and this can be repeated every few months. These injections do not necessarily cure the spinal stenosis, but can provide brilliant results thus reducing the need to undergo surgery.
4. Medications
There are various medications that can help you gain relief from spinal stenosis and usually anti inflammatory drugs are prescribed. Neurogenic stabilizing medications are also used in spinal stenosis and great examples of these are Lyrica and Neurontin. For chronic pain, Las Vegas pain doctors may use narcotic medication to provide relief when an acute exacerbation is seen. Narcotics are usually administered as a short term treatment option.
5. Spinal Decompression Therapy
Spinal Decompression Therapy, which involves intermittent spinal traction, has been shown to work well for spinal stenosis symptoms. The treatment involves a noninvasive pull through the spinal column that is intermittent and fools the spine into letting the spinal elements become decompressed.
Studies show over 85% of patients using spinal decompression therapy achieve relief from it.
With these 5 treatment options, most patients suffering from spinal stenosis are able to avoid surgery. It is an elective condition, and there are some small but real risks with surgery. So if it can be avoided with acceptable Las Vegas pain management that is best.
The top pain management clinic in Las Vegas is Innovative Pain Care. The clinics have 2 locations – a Las Vegas pain clinic and a Henderson pain management location. Over 30 insurances are accepted, call (702) 323-0553 for more information and scheduling!

|"Listen well, young kittypets. The history of our Clans is alive around you, preserved in the memories of every cat."
|— Dapplenose to the reader in Battles of the Clans, page 100
Dapplenose is a mottled gray she-cat[4] with blue eyes.[3]
Dapplenose was a RiverClan warrior that served under Leopardstar's leadership in the lake territories. As an apprentice, Dapplepaw was mentored by Mistyfoot and soon earned her warrior name, Dapplenose. She fought in the battle against ThunderClan and ShadowClan until StarClan stopped it by covering the sun. Dapplenose retired to the elders' den and helped bury Leopardstar when she passed. During the battle against the Dark Forest, Dapplenose was killed by Hawkfrost, a former Clanmate, and she ascended to StarClan soon after.
In the Power of Three arc
The Sight
- Dapplepaw is assigned to be Mistyfoot's apprentice. She is mentioned when Jaypaw enters Willowpaw's dream at the Moonpool. Willowpaw asks Mudfur if she was right to give Dapplepaw assurance rather than herbs for her bellyache. Mudfur replies that Dapplepaw will get better on her own and that the herbs will be saved for a cat that was worse off.
- In RiverClan, Dapplepaw earns her warrior name of Dapplenose.
In the Omen of the Stars arc
The Fourth Apprentice
- Dapplenose retires from her warrior duties to become a RiverClan elder.
The Last Hope
- At a Gathering, Dapplenose noses her way through a cluster of ShadowClan cats. Dovewing shuffles to make room for Dapplenose, beckoning to her with a flick of her muzzle. Dapplenose sits by Dovewing, who closes her mouth to block out the fish scent and thanks her. She mentions to Dovewing that they found footprints in RiverClan tracking around the camp. When the Clan leaders start to become distrusting it is said that she pulls away from Dovewing, her gaze suddenly suspicious. During the Great Battle, Dapplenose is killed.
In the Super Editions
Bramblestar's Storm
- When the cats who had died in the Great Battle appear as StarClan cats in front of Bramblestar at a Gathering, Dapplenose is one of the cats noted to be among them.
In the Novellas
Mistystar's Omen
- Mistyfoot finds Dapplenose and Pouncetail at RiverClan's favorite basking place, a sandy slope. She tells the two elders that they must find a place to bury Leopardstar. Dapplenose gets to her paws and tells her leader that she knows just the place. She leads them to a small clearing with a view of the surrounding areas and says that she had always thought that this would be the perfect spot for Leopardstar. Mistyfoot agrees and asks if the tom and she-cat are able to dig the hole. Pouncetail snorts, telling her that they could, and Dapplenose tells Mistyfoot to ignore Pouncetail, telling her that they could manage. She tells Mistyfoot to go back to camp to eat and rest, saying that Mistyfoot will need energy to travel to the Moonpool.
- Mistystar receives her nine lives and returns to the Clan. Dapplenose tells her leader that they were leaving to bury Leopardstar and asks if she'd like to join them. Mistystar does, and they bury Leopardstar in the spot that Dapplenose had chosen.
Mothwing's Secret
- Before the Great Battle, Mothwing spots the elders, Dapplenose and Pouncetail, looking fierce outside their den. She asks where the ThunderClan's warriors were, but Dapplenose remains skeptical since it was Firestar's idea. During the battle, Dapplenose, Pouncetail, and Duskfur face off a Dark Forest cat in front of the nursery. Hawkfrost confronts them and kills Dapplenose. After the battle, Mothwing watches Dapplenose's spirit ascend to StarClan.
In the Field Guides
Battles of the Clans
- At the Gathering, Dapplenose warns the reader not to sit in a particular place, saying that it is Pouncetail's favorite spot to sit. She points out three ShadowClan elders, Snaketail, Tallpoppy, and Cedarheart, telling the reader not to worry about them, adding that ShadowClan cats are always making faces. She also points out Mousefur from ThunderClan, she expresses pity towards Mousefur and tells the reader to talk gently to the old she-cat, as her denmate, Longtail, had died within the last moon when a tree fell into ThunderClan's camp.
- Dapplenose mentions that the last battle she fought in had been the Great Battle in ThunderClan's territory. She tells the reader about how StarClan stopped the battle by making the sun disappear, and the Clans were very scared for a very a long time afterwards. She says that Pouncetail was the only cat that brought honor to RiverClan that day and tells the reader that he would tell the story if you asked him nice enough. She spots Nightwhisper and tells the reader that Nightwhisper has a story that will haunt your dreams if you would dare to listen, adding that his ShadowClan Clanmates have said that the tom's sleep is haunted, and he often wakes up screeching.
- Dapplenose points Graystripe out to the reader and explains that not all of the Clans' battles had been against other Clans, that sometimes the Clans would unite. One notable time was when the Clans united against some troublesome foxes, Dapplenose tells the reader that Graystripe might tell them about the Clans uniting against the foxes later.
- Dapplenose is introduced as a new apprentice in The Sight,[2] but is retired by The Fourth Apprentice[5] due to old age.[6][3]

More Arts correspond with higher graduation rates[wealth culture]November 18, 2009
A new study by the Center for Arts Education has found that schools that have increased access to arts education programs also have higher graduation rates.Well, its kinda make sense, Arts has always been known to open minds, motivate for challenging opportunities.Listen Richard Kessler, CAE's Executive Director, and Doug Israel, Director of Research and Policy proving their point.Meanwhile, a study was published earlier this year out of Cambridge University coming to much the same conclusion in Britain. Focusing on math, science and reading — especially in the Test Test Test! framework that Arne Duncan espouses — and excluding the arts can have really detrimental effects on kids, emotionally and intellectually.This is what is needed to make the change we need to make – solid data to support the correlation between art activity and academic outcomes. Put this study together with the Cambridge study, do more and argue, argue, argue for the requisite funding.

Our favorites two famewhores who will use anything in their obsession for attention explained us that they were totally made for each other.Jon Gosselin and Levi Johnston appeared together in Times Square in NYC on Sunday. Levi was in town for his Playgirl shoot when he says he ran into Gosselin, who was in town filming commercials. The two posed for photos in near-identical pea coats. "You never know when celebrities turn up," one onlooker marveled.We might accidentally see in horror and amazement Jon Gosselin showing it all before the camera for the next Playgirl issue ;a prerequisite for landing a scary movie gig in Hollywood.
Rupert Murdoch says he wants one of his children to succeed him at News Corp. "I am sure one of them will emerge," he says. "It would be nice." His family, with about 40% of the voting rights, will "have a lot of say." Murdoch, 78, adds that he will step down "when I start to lose it."Meanwhile he told Sky News interviewer David Speers that he will remove his news sites — The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, The Times of London and many more — from Google's search index.Watch the interview

Andre Agassi is primarily concerned with Andre Agassi, according to a New York Times review of his ghostwritten autobiography Open. Reviewer Janet Maslinwrites that Agassi's interests do not extend far "beyond tennis, more tennis, the misery of tennis, the way sportswriters misunderstand tennis and the irritating celebrity that tennis stardom confers."
Other admissions from the book: Agassi took crystal meth in 1997, the worst year of his career; he's lied about his love of tennis to interviewers over the years; and his frosted mullets may have included portions of toupee. Maslin calls the book "anticlimactic" but says it is saved by "somebody on the memoir team" with "great gifts for heart-tugging drama.

How to Start your Own record LabelOctober 28, 2009
The 90s remaining the best decade of music ever for me and being tired of hearing the same boring formulaic muck on daily basis when its comes to R&B, I was wondering what if i start a record label? I went straight to google and was amazed by the quantity of information.God bless the internet..here's the few things you need to know…
People who have a real passion for music set up most small independent record labels. Often they are or have been artists themselves or are fans of a particular music genre or particular artist that they feel doesn't get enough attention from the music buying public. Invariably being in it for any other reason, like a quick return on a financial investment is likely to end in disappointment. The rewards of owning your own independent record label, certainly in the early years, are more social and emotional than economic. Yet it can be a great way of developing a professional reputation, opening numerous doors into the industry or simply meeting other likeminded people and filling your spare time. And of course every now again one of the thousand or so small indie labels in the UK elevates itself from the pack with a band or a record that everyone wants. There is no reason why that label can't be yours! The following guide will help you get all the basics right, the rest will be up to you.
Running a label is a full time job (on top of the full-time job you may well have already). Most importantly, it requires tireless determination. You may want to set up your own record label for a couple of reasons:
- The type of music you like is not readily available
- You know of an artist who has potential and doesn't have a record deal
- You believe in a record and think it's worth releasing
- You are a composer / producer with material and want to release your own music
- You may have been rejected by other labels but still believe your product is saleable
- Your band have a following and believe you can make some extra cash from a CD release

Stuart Truck Accident Lawyer
Caring personal injury law firm in Port Saint Lucie
Large trucks pose a significant threat to those traveling the roadways of the United States, especially in the state of Florida. According to statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for 2008:
- one out of every nine traffic fatalities in the United States involved a crash with a large truck.
- the passengers and drivers of the other vehicle died in 74% of all fatal truck crashes.
- 82% of all multiple vehicle accidents involving trucks were fatal.
- 90,000 people were injured in crashes involving a large truck.
- Florida ranked third among all 50 states for large trucks involved in fatal crashes.
Injuries could be catastrophic
Due to the weight of a large truck, the injuries a victim suffers often are much more serious than they would be if the accident occurred with another type of vehicle. Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries and broken bones that must be repaired by major surgery are very common, and victims often become permanently disabled due to their injuries. If you or a loved one are involved in a truck accident, you might suffer a significant loss of income during recovery. If victims are unable to return to work, they and/or loved ones could be entitled to compensation for the loss of wages due to the truck driver's negligence.
Top 5 truck accident causes
In 2009, Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles reported the top five causes for crashes involving trucks included: careless driving, failure to yield/right of way, improper backing, improper lane change and improper turns. Large trucks often have blind spots where the driver is unable to see a car traveling in the next lane. Truck drivers often face tight schedules to deliver their loads quickly. All these factors contribute to the frequency of semi truck accidents. The experienced personal injury attorneys at Ohle & Ohle, P.A. help protect the legal rights of truck accident victims throughout the Treasure Coast, including Fort Pierce, Port Saint Lucie, Okeechobee and surrounding cities and towns.

Damping function in the penetration/perforation dynamics of rigid projectiles X. W. Chen, X. L. Li & K. W. Deng Institute of Structural Mechanics, China Academy of Engineering Physics, P.O. Box 919-414, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province 621900, China Abstract This paper defines a third dimensionless parameter, i.e., the damping function, besides the impact function and geometry function of a projectile introduced by the author previously, in the penetration/perforation dynamics of a rigid projectile. It only depends on the interaction of projectile and target materials and is independent of projectile geometry. A general penetration resistance, which contains the terms of viscous effect and the dummy mass of a projectile induced by the deceleration effect, is adopted in the formulation. A dimensionless formula of depth of penetration is conducted with only these three parameters for general convex shapes of various rigid projectiles. Accounting for the influence of the damping function, the normal perforations of thick metallic plates struck by sharp nose rigid projectiles are studied further. Keywords: penetration, perforation, rigid projectile, damping function, metal, concrete, ceramics. 1 Introduction The experimental method is still one of the major means of penetration investigation. Usually, the empirical formulae are proposed by fitting normalization of a large amount of experimental data of different reduced or same scale firing tests, and are further applied to the prediction of other similar penetration problems. The Poncelet equation [1], i.e., 2 0( ) F A a bV = + , is the most venerable and classical empirical formula used to calculate the penetration

Shyann Crush Wednesday (#SCW) is a weekly feature highlighting the creatives, entrepreneurs and important influencers that's inspiring me these days. Let these articles inspire you as you embark on your journey.
When I moved to New York City at 21 as an editorial intern, my greatest dream was to become Editor-in-Chief. It was a goal too intimidating to even say aloud. I was convinced it was totally out of reach for someone with no connections, no trust fund, and no fancy clothes. I pursued the path anyway. Eventually, I started believing the vision placed inside of me. I learned to shrug off the fear of failure, and how to refuse the urge to shrink – even when I was asked to.
For this week's women crush series, I've chosen a woman that has brought so much inspiration to me in these past years – Elaine Welteroth. This week she announced her departure from Teen Vogue, so it was only right to show my appreciation. If you are not familiar with her, last year she made history by becoming the youngest Editor-in-Chief at Teen Vogue and the second black person to ever hold the position in Conde Nast. To give you a little background of Elaine's journey: she got her start at Ebony as an unpaid intern that led to a paid permanent position as the magazine's Beauty & Style editor. From there, she joined Glamour as a beauty writer and editor and was promoted as their Beauty and Health director – making her the first black director at the age of 25. At 29 is when she became EIC at Teen Vogue – a journalist dream.
I had an early love for magazines, at a young age, I subscribed to the majority of the top beauty and fashion magazines. My love for these magazines brought on fantasies of one day becoming an editor-in-chief but was discouraged because of the lack of representation. Elaine quickly became my inspiration as she reinvented Teen Vogue, making sure to embrace and respect diversity.
In addition to the fashion stories, pop culture, and beauty, Elaine brought the topics of politics and feminism to the magazine. With articles titled "Cultural Appreciation: Real Girls, Real Beauty, Real Talk" featuring Willow Smith and "I'm Biracial, and People Tell Me I'm Not Black Enough" Teen Vogue now provides readers with representation. The publication still has the fashion tips, skincare, and workout routines, but it is now progressive and empowering. Elaine did that. In her NY Times interview, she stated: "that Teen Vogue has as much right to be at the table, talking about politics, as every woman does in America right now."
Elaine accomplished a lot of "first" during her time at Teen Vogue. There was an increase on politics and social justice including critical coverage of the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The first-ever 'Teen Vogue Summit' was launched in Los Angeles featuring keynote speakers, hands-on workshops and mentoring experiences. The keynote speakers included director Ava DuVernay, poet Cleo Wade and actress Amandla Stenberg to name a few. In December 2016, Elaine invited Yara Shahidi and Rowan Blanchard to serve as guest editors, the first-ever in the history of the publication.
In my 20s, I still check Teen Vogue daily. Reading "A LETTER TO MY TEENAGE SELF" by SOLANGE KNOWLES gives me relief that "It's OK that you don't know what the future holds." Ebonee Davis provided real-life gems with her article "HOW TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE", a piece I go back to read quite often whenever I need some encouraging words. My favorite has to be Zendaya Coleman interviewing Michelle Obama about global education for girls. I admire Elaine for not only sharing African American stories but making it a priority to share the stories of women around the world. Without Elaine, we may have never seen these types of stories, and I am so grateful.
Throughout these years, I have seen Elaine WORK. From transforming a magazine to have a profound purpose, elevating her brand to open doors to speaking engagements and most importantly inspiring black women with her success. It is an honor to have Elaine as one of the leaders in this industry; I am very excited to see Elaine's next steps in her career because, without a doubt, they'll be great.

The Justice Collective's charity single 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' has beaten James Arthur to become the 2012 Christmas number one.
The track, released to raise legal funds for families of the victims of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, outsold the X Factor winner by over 45,000 copies after a tight mid-week battle. The cover of the Hollies hit features artists including Sir Paul McCartney, Robbie Williams, Rebecca Ferguson and the Spice Girls' Mel C.
Liverpool Walton MP Steve Rotheram, who first came up with the idea for the record, said of the news: "We have done in nine weeks what it normally takes nine months or more to achieve - working with a phenomenally dedicated team, all of whom have worked for free and displayed total professionalism throughout."
As a result, Arthur's 'Impossible' drops to number two, with will.i.am and Britney Spears's 'Scream & Shout' also falling a place to three.
Rihanna's 'Stay' climbs to four, while Bruno Mars's 'Locked Out of Heaven' completes the top five of the festive chart.
New entries in the Top 40 come from 23-year-old YouTube phenomenon Alex Day, whose 'Stupid Stupid' debuts at 25. Day previously had a number four hit with 'Forever Yours' in 2011 while remaining unsigned, following it up with 'Lady Godiva', which charted at 15 in April.
X Factor star and market trader One Pound Fish Man - aka Muhammad Shahid Nazir - also sees his debut single 'One Pound Fish' reach number 29. However, fellow novelty track 'The 12 Days of Christmas', by The Eddie Stobart Truckers, falls just outside the Top 40, charting at 47.

Our vision is to be the gold standard of health care in Montana by 2025.
Becoming the gold standard
Annual Performance Goals
We've established performance goals for the organization and individual departments that align with our core values: service, quality, safety, accountability and collaboration. The goals align efforts toward outcomes, create more transparency and accountability around performance and reinforce the importance of a values-based culture.
Operations Initiative (2017 - 2019)
We conducted a thorough examination of all business and clinical operations and are implementing a number of industry best practices from around the country to increase efficiency and generate more value for patients.
ISO 9001 Certification (2018-2022)
We've begun our journey to pursue ISO certification, a global standard for exemplary quality management systems. Having processes in place to drive continuous performance improvement leads to higher quality outcomes, employee engagement and patient satisfaction.
Electronic Health Record (EHR) Optimization
The ultimate goal is universally accessible health records to better serve the needs of patients and promote a more streamlined, coordinated delivery of care. We are enhancing our IT governance structure and will focus on optimizing our electronic health record system to best serve our patients over the next decade.
Prioritize Clinical Innovation
We are embracing innovation. We are committed to implementing new strategies that increase the community's access to health care services and identify ways to reduce health care costs for patients.
Master Facility Plan
Our Master Facility Plan helps us design our facilities for the future. The plan addresses how we should grow our physical infrastructure to support the community's needs for clinical services and programs in the coming years.
Key Engagement Initiatives
Effective collaboration with our employees, providers and the community is essential to our ability to transform the organization. Health and wellness extend beyond our walls. We are implementing key initiatives to align our health care experts with the most significant needs facing our community.
About the St. Peter's Health Transformation
Why is St. Peter's Health undergoing a transformation?
Several things are driving this transformation. First and foremost, we want to become a higher performing organization. There are many great things happening at St. Peter's, but we have a responsibility to our staff, patients and community to be better tomorrow than we are today. We know there are things we can improve on, and we wish to set the gold standard in Montana for how we care for our community We also must be proactive with so many changes on the horizon in health care.
Federal and state funding continues to decrease, but the cost of health care services to providers and patients only goes up. Every week, there is news of more health systems throughout the U.S. forced to take drastic measures like large scale layoffs, eliminating services or selling out to large national systems. For us to ensure the stability of health care for people in and around Helena, we must sharpen our focus and become more efficient now, while we're in a relative position of strength. Waiting to act won't allow us to work through thoughtful and well planned change on our own terms.
Who is involved in the St. Peter's Health Transformation?
Employees across the organization are directly involved in our ongoing transformation efforts to become a higher performing organization. Successful transformation will require everyone at St. Peter's to be committed to excellence.

If you blow dry the ringworm will that kill the ringworm fungus and go away? Or what about soaking in a hot bath tub; will that kill the ringworm fungus? What does ringworm look like when it is healing or healed?

Blow drying is not going to work. I doubt heat would kill it and if it did, you'd have to get the blow dryer so close to your skin it would burn it. There are ring worm anti-fungals meds at your local pharmacy (non prescription). Look for one that specifically says it kills ring worm (athlete's foot meds might not work). There are also home remedies, which I can't think of right now...in the internet type in "home remedy for ring worm" and I am sure you can find lots of methods. (I think tea tree oil might be one of them, available at health food type stores). If you have a bad case or a lot of them or one in your hair (head), I would go to the doctor instead of trying to treat yourself. What it looks like after it heals is the skin is back to normal looking, there is no "shiny ring".
Your physician is the person you should make an appointment with. And if you have any canine/feline animals please check them with your Veterinarian. Good luck
Ringworm is a fungus so it needs to be treated with a topical anti-fungal cream. Just ask the pharmacist which over the counter cream they recommend. You'll need to use the cream a couple times a day for two to four weeks depending on how stubborn the fungus is.
Please know that ringworm is contagious from direct contact with the rash or from the hands of an infected person who has been scratching the rash. It is interspecies contagious so any animals that have been come in contact with should also be checked for it and that includes, but is not limited to, dogs, cats, horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, mice, rabbits and birds.
Here is a photo of ringworm but it can also have/be a darker red rash circle. You can have just one or a large cluster of the circles.
