I Am Books, the country's first Italian American bookstore, opened this week in Boston's North End at 189 North Street across from the Paul Revere House.
Owner Nicola Orichuia and partner Jim Pinzino want the bookstore to serve as a cultural hub for locals and visitors interested in diving into the rich world of Italian and Italian American literature, history, research, art and more. Events will be a notable part of the store with book signings, small concerts and other happenings.
"Our goal is to offer a common space for all those who are deeply passionate about their Italian roots and heritage," says I Am Books President Nicola Orichuia. "At the same time, we want to open a window onto Italy, a country that fascinates and attracts millions of people from all over the world every year."
I Am Books sells primarily fiction and non-fiction by Italian and Italian American authors, as well as books on food, cooking, travel and history. The store features a children's section, with learning material, games and toys as well as books. Those who remember Officina 189 at the location will still find some watch, perfume and handbag offerings in the shop.
"I've had the opportunity to reconnect with my heritage and found it so personally rewarding," says I Am Books Vice President Jim Pinzino, a semi-retired executive and business owner who hails from the IT sector. "I wanted to offer that same opportunity to Italian Americans as well as the general public."
An Italian-born journalist, Orichuia launched bostoniano.info in 2011 and Bostoniano magazine in 2013 in an effort to celebrate Italian and Italian American culture and enrich and unite the Boston-area Italian American community. I Am Books is a bricks-and-mortar expression of that same mission.
I Am Books has an ongoing Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. More information about the project, as well as a short video is available here: iambooksboston.com.

The brainchild of author Cairn Rodrigues, #BlogCrawl was originally envisioned as a sort of Twitter happy hour for introverted writers running blogs. Hang out, make small talk, get tipsy, and then – at some point – everyone agrees on a writing prompt and runs off for about an hour to see what they can come up with. No pre-writing, no editing – just hit publish and come back to share with the rest of the crowd.
Give that it's kind of hard to drink and type and keep track of hashtags (even if all we're drinking is water, because fiction writers can fake "tipsy" with the best of 'em) we've toyed with the idea of moving the party elsewhere but never really had the impetus to do it before Cairn's inaugural blog book tour.
A book tour that got slightly sidetracked by life. Cairn started to beat up on herself for not being – what – a more scintillating author on the virtual book tour circuit? Ironically, she did some amazing writing on her blog that I think a lot of us can relate to, in some way:
Crumbling of a Caregiver
Gun Control
Collateral Damage
Slippery Slope
Let This Be The Last Battlefield
If ever there was an author in need of a little levity, it's Cairn. Here's a recap of her tour stops:

The Last Prospector by Cairn Rodrigues
My original idea was to interview her on camera about the names in The Last Prospector – to get her drunk and then see if even she could pronounce them. I asked Mitch Mitchell – who has been a friend since around 2009 or so, and who is a seasoned video blogger and interviewer, for advice. Somehow, that turned into Mitch interviewing me on the writing process – which was so not the original intent of the question…
Ultimately, the notion was so daunting, once I realized what it would involve, that I decided to crochet a book cover, which we dubbed The Prospector's Last Book Cozy, and give it away, instead. Congratulations to winner Marian Allen – I have renamed the accompanying bookmark the "Meadow of Flowers Boa" in her honor. Picture a teeny, tiny version of me, wearing it.
A funny thing happened along the way, though – I stepped out of my comfort zone and had a lot of fun doing it. My first reaction, when Mitch was done interviewing me, was "OMG, yay! I didn't DIE!" No, seriously, I was not joking. My second was, "When can we do it again?" I even got a better webcam and revamped my YouTube channel. Mitch created a little monster. Trockle was just rolling his eye over there, under the bed.
So of course it seemed fitting that I convince Cairn to have the next #BlogCrawl in a Google+ Hangout On Air.We did not spend the entire time on the pronunciation of names in her book, but we did talk about how she came up with them, how they're pronounced, and the etymology of one of the strangest names – that actually does exist.
We had so much fun that I'm envisioning a whole series, now, and if any other Science Fiction/Fantasy authors want to get in on this and take the challenge, let's go for it.
Barbara Walters Has Nothing to Fear from ME
As Cairn says, this is why no one's called to ask me to host the Oscars. Mitch may have put me at ease on camera, but I still feel like a deer caught in the headlights when it comes to "interviewing" anyone else. Oh, it sounds like a fine idea in my head – but that's just not how it works out. The following is an hour and a half of unscripted laughter and digression as Cairn tries to tell us about her book, The Last Prospector. Mitch Mitchell tries to mentor the unruly crowd — could this cherry soda swilling tea-totaller be the only one who's sober enough to do it? — but somehow manages to turn both Whovians and Daleks against him. Watch out for upside-down trash cans bearing toilet plungers, Mitch. Ron Reed pops up, now and then, to talk about the psychology of book cover design and remind us all to run with scissors. Wait, what? Though Ron never appears on camera, in person, he adds awesome insight, moral support, and levity.
We forgot all about the writing prompt. So here's one: Someone is called to do something that is way outside their comfort zone, but it turns out to be a positive experience.

Apple Watch is Selling for $100 Less, but is a New Model Coming?
Apple Watch is now cheaper, which is only fueling speculation over the future of Apple's wearable.
Customers who pick up an Apple Watch at Best Buy (BBY) will get the device for $100 off the respective model's regular price. Target (TGT), another major big-box retailer that sells Apple Watch models, is offering a $100 gift card with the purchase of a regularly priced Apple Watch. Apple's own retail stores, however, are still selling the smartwatch at regular prices.
A discount on a relatively new product—and one from Apple, at that—is notable. Apple is notorious for having an iron-like grip on pricing and retailers typically need to fall in line. The idea that both Best Buy and Target are offering deals suggests that they're either willing to swallow the $100 or Apple gave them permission to run a discount, says Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter.
"Apple is pretty strict on discounting," Pachter says. "It suggests that either Best Buy's taking all of the discount and is willing to forgo future supply of Apple watches, or that Apple is participating in the discount, and the new model is coming."
It's that second component—the possibility of a new model—that has fueled much of the interest in the Apple Watch discount.
On Tuesday, Apple-tracking site 9to5Mac reported that Apple is currently planning to hold a special press event in March. In addition to a long-rumored 4-inch iPhone, Apple will unveil a second-generation Apple Watch, according to 9to5Mac, which cited sources who claim to have knowledge of the company's plans. It's possible that the device would come with updated internal components, as well as new health-related sensors, the report claims.
That said, reports are always swirling about Apple (AAPL) and its plans for the future. In some cases, they may turn out to be true, and in others, they are completely false. Along the way, Apple remains tight-lipped, leaving all of the guesswork to analysts and industry-watchers. It's possible, therefore, that the site's sources are wrong and Apple isn't planning a second-generation option.
However, as Pachter notes, Best Buy's decision to offer a discount suggests that the rumor may be true. With nearly every recent Apple product launch, third-party retailers discount the company's products in anticipation of new models. The idea is to offload current inventory in preparation for new versions. By starting that process now during the busy holiday shopping season, Best Buy (and Target) could be indicating that a second-generation model is launching in March and they're using the holidays, when demand is heaviest, to rapidly reduce their inventory.
For its part, Best Buy isn't providing any clues. In a statement to Fortune, Best Buy spokesperson Carly Charlson said that the Apple Watch $100 discount is "good through Christmas." She didn't say whether Best Buy is reserving the right to change course and keep the discount in place after Christmas.
Trip Chowdhry, an Apple analyst and managing director at Global Equities Research, believes that there is little more to the discount than Best Buy trying "to get more customers in-store" and not an indication of a new model.
Regardless of the intent, there is speculation that the first-generation Apple Watch has not been the smashing success the iPhone maker had hoped it would be. So far, Apple has not announced sales numbers for the device, arguing that doing so could help its competition. Apple CEO Tim Cook has only said that the company has "shipped a lot" and expects to ship more this quarter.
Analysts, however, are concerned about Apple Watch sales. In Oct., after Cook made his comments, analysts reduced their average shipment estimates for the fourth quarter down to 3.95 million—20,000 units less than they had anticipated in the third-quarter consensus.
Earlier this month, research firm Wristly released a study on the reasons Apple Watch owners may stop using the smartwatch. Nearly 90% of respondents who had stopped using Apple Watch said that they "didn't find enough value," while 80% said that its features were "too limited." Two-thirds of respondents were concerned that the device was "too slow." Incidentally, the rumored second-generation Apple Watch is expected to address those issues.
So, as with anything else Apple-related, questions abound and few answers have been given. It's possible that the $100 discount is simply a way for Best Buy to sell more Apple Watch units, but as Pachter notes, it could also signal an upcoming second-generation model. For now, only Apple knows for sure what its plans are and the company isn't talking.
Apple did not respond to a request for comment.

What a strange few days it's been for me. It's 25°C today, and it's been about that for the past several days. And all the while, while sweating and cursing the unnatural heat, I've been working crazy hours and basically ignoring the goings-on on the intertubes. I honestly feel something like one of those Sims characters, whose Fun meter has completely bottomed out and is waving frantically at the camera and yelling about a video game controller or something. For some reason, I consider mocking ridiculous nonsense on the internet to be stress relief in a way.
But, where to start? There's just so much! I guess I'll just have to pick the most execrable piece of news I've come across; the piece of news that makes all my own personal travails seem like the first-world problems that they are. Something so damning of humanity that I can retreat comfortably into the crazy amounts of overnight work I need to do tonight as though it was a candlelit warm bath with a glass of wine.
Something like this story. Emphasis mine.
The suicide of Amina Filali, a Moroccan 16 year old instructed by a court to marry her rapist, has sparked outrage on the internet and protests in the streets of Barat, Morocco's capital. A law allowing rapists to escape prosecution if they marry their victims is an "embarrassment", campaigners say – which is one way to put it, although some might prefer "psychological torture" or "total disgrace".

New year's eve is usually the time for celebrations, drinks and partying. A few armed robbers in Paris thought that it also made for a great time to rob Apple Store in Paris. And they broke into the store and made away with $1.32 million worth of stuff.
The robbers had apparently planned their raid quite carefully. On New Year's eve, a significant crowd of thousands was busy in New Year celebrations at a place nearby. Most of the police's manpower was concentrated in the area to stop any untoward incidents from happening.
So the robbers thought this as a golden chance to make their way into the Apple Store which was at some distance from the site of celebrations. According to reported accounts, five men who were masked and armed entered the store at about 9 p.m. They overpowered a security guard or a janitor, the accounts vary on this much.
After nabbing their only resistance, they headed straight to the stock room and comfortably loaded all they could lay their hands on, in a truck. It took them nearly 40 minutes to do so. And then they took off, taking with them Apple goods worth $1.32 million.
According to Christophe Crepin of French Police, "They prepared their coup pretty well." And since "the essential bulk of police forces were mobilized to patrol the Champs-Elysées, the thieves clearly profited from the opportunity to make their move."

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded Review
A confusing number of Kingdom Hearts games have released over the last few years, and by jumping all around the timeline, series mastermind Tetsuya Nomura hasn't made it easy to keep track of the events. Re:coded is the first title to pick up after the end of Kingdom Hearts II and puts you in control of franchise hero Sora – well, a digital replica of him at least. The game originally released episodically on mobile phones in Japan, but Square tweaked and beefed up the title for its DS release.
Re:coded takes its cues from Tron, as Disney's Mickey, Donald, and Goofy get sucked into a computer copy of overused worlds like Aladdin's Agrabah and Alice's Wonderland. They originally summoned Data Sora to deal with the bugs in the system to help decode a mysterious message, but eventually get trapped inside and need his help to escape. Aside from the rehashed areas, Sora ventures into new areas called system sectors, techno neon code rooms, to quash bugs plaguing the worlds. These futuristic dungeons are essentially the only new areas in the game, but it's not long before layouts repeat and become as stale as the rest.
The devs thankfully spruced up these maps with new gameplay modes taken from other genres. For example, rather than serving as a battle arena, Olympus Coliseum is a refreshing turn-based RPG in the vein of the Mario & Luigi series. Other variants include a side-scrolling platformer, a Space Harrier-style shooter, and a battlefield command stage where Sora has to boss AI allies around rather than attack himself. The RPG segment is easily the best, teasing what a less action-focused Kingdom Hearts experience could be. The platformer plays like the auto-scrolling running games that are all the rage on smart phones. The only problem is that it relies on the standard movement set of the main game, which is way too imprecise to meet the needs of the genre.
Though Re:coded suffers from heavily recycled levels and enemies, at least Square Enix innovated on the character growth. The new leveling system replicates a computer motherboard where players place microchips to boost stats and unlock new abilities. It's annoying that you don't know what some abilities will do until you unlock them, but they all are useful in the end. I especially liked the "cheat" switches that allow you to tweak various elements of the game for a price. You can trade off your health for more loot, or increase enemy strength for more prizes. It's unwise to slide things too far out of the ordinary, but it's nice to have the option if you're shooting for something specific like more money or faster leveling.
Re:coded allows players to revisit previously completed worlds for additional fetch quests and more system sectors, but only completionists should bother. Near the end of the game you're going to have to run through all of these maps again anyway in a lazy move by Square to pad out the quest.
Despite the new gameplay types, Re:coded's mostly recycled content feels too stale to recommend to anyone outside of the most diehard fans.

Backed by a unique genre-bending beat that Cono is able to effortlessly flow on, the Pittsburgh to Chicago transplant proves to us that he's not only bringing a new sound to the table, but he's also ready to take over with it as well. Peep it below.

In his closing keynote at the Social Media Marketing World 2015, Jay Baer stressed how important it is to embrace your critics and "Hug Your Haters" by responding to every complaint on every channel basically all the time. By doing so, companies can significantly increase sentiment metrics such as customer advocacy and conversely, if you fail to do so, customer advocacy will go down according to recent research on "The Science of Haters" that he has conducted in partnership with Tom Webster at Edison Research. He even went so far as saying that "answering complaints can have massive financial impact on your business."
Reasons why companies do not respond to all complaints range from an unwillingness to dignify complaints to an inability to manage a large number of complaints or even find them in the first place. Still, Jay Baer suggests that with top management commitment and sufficient resources allocated, a company can, and should, respond to all complaints. He used KLM as a case study and mentioned that when the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano wreaked havoc on flights a few years back, their CEO committed to responding to every complaint. Now they have a full 150 full-time employees dedicated to responding to online mentions across all channels.
An interesting distinction made by Jay Baer was the one he made between so-called onstage versus offstage haters. Offstage haters are those who complain about an experience through a private channel first and herein lies the opportunity for companies to help them out before they go public with their displeasure. Offstage haters skew towards an older demographic and they don't complain as frequently as others and when they do so, they tend to do it from a computer, not from a mobile device.
Onstage haters, on the other hand, are younger, more mobile and tend to also complain more frequently. When they do so, they go to public channels first and expect not only the company to respond, but also that others will see and perhaps chime in on the conversation about the brand. For onstage haters, it is important to have an audience that is watching the duel between the complainant and the company and that is why many review sites are humorous, colorful, and bold.
"Hating is a spectator sport."– Jay Baer
One benefit of taking complaints seriously is that these can serve as an early detection system by which you can learn about customer sentiments that may become a bigger issue for more people down the road unless you do something about it. Jay Baer also pointed out that most complaints have at least some kernel of truth in them and studied carefully, complaints can provide extraordinary insights.

While Orlando is a diverse and intriguing city whose sprawling parameters open up plenty of options for exploration and fun, it has to be said that the vast majority of travelers that make their way this direction do so with Disney magic on their minds. Orlando's reputation for being home to Disney theme parks is one that it carries proudly and with good reason! Millions of visitors head this direction on an annual basis to enjoy encounters with characters that have long defined their childhoods, enjoy time with family and friends, or simply access that kid at heart feeling that's so specific to a Disney adventure. Whether you're excited to enjoy time in the Magic Kingdom, can't wait to explore Epcot, or are looking forward to encounters with amazing creatures at Animal Kingdom, Disney is definitely a must when you're in town.

This iconic area is known for its many savory hot spots that are worth enjoying as well as the fun museums and galleries that call it home.

Instead, incorporate it into your stay in one of our Orlando villa rentals that includes access to a private pool and hot tub, or even a property that's integrated into a community with features such as a fitness center, clubhouse, lounge, and more.

The concept of Anchor investors was introduced by Securities Exchange Board of India (SEBI) with the intention to improve the price discovery during initial public offers (IPO's).The process was aimed at improving the investment opportunity for retail investors with the company.
Anchor investors or cornerstone investors (as they are called globally ) are marquee institutional investors like sovereign wealth funds, mutual funds and pension funds that are invited to subscribe for shares ahead of the IPO to boost the popularity of the issue and provide confidence to potential IPO investors.
Since, anchor investors belong to the Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB's) category they would be in a better position to gauge the fundamentals and the future prospects of the company.
An anchor investor in a public issue refers to a qualified institutional buyer making an application for a value of Rs.10 crore or more through the book-building process.
The benefit for institutional investors applying in anchor quota is that they get guaranteed allotment. Allotment to investors applying in an IPO depends on the number of times the issue gets subscribed. Anchor investors, however cannot sell their shares for a period of 30 days from the date of allotment as against IPO investors who are allowed to sell on listing day.
All IPO's are split into sections such as retail, non-institutional, and so-on. QIB's are one of the investor group. A company can only hold 30% of QIB allotment and provide it to anchor investors. The minimum application size for each anchor investor should be Rs.10 crore.
Anchor Allotment is done a day before an IPO opens. Roping in anchor investors gives a lot of comfort to the issuer and banker, as nearly a third of the IPO gets covered even before the opening day. A healthy anchor book also gives lot of comfort to small investors as it indicates the faith shown by institutional investors.
Anchor investors will put up with margin amount of 25% of their application and the balance within two days from the close of the issue. These Anchor investors are supposed to apply for the shares like regular investors at the price they seem best fit for it.

Ethics Case
Essay by 24 • May 4, 2011 • 1,365 Words (6 Pages) • 1,574 Views
Essay Preview: Ethics Case
Erin Brockovich-Ellis (born June 22, 1960) is an American legal clerk who, despite the lack of a formal law school education, was instrumental in constructing a case against the $28 billion Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), of California in 1993. Since the release of the movie that shares her story and name, she has hosted Challenge America with Erin Brockovich on ABC and Final Justice on Lifetime. She is the president of Brockovich Research & Consulting, a consulting firm.
Brockovich was born Erin L. E. Pattee in Lawrence, Kansas, and attended Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas. She worked as a management trainee for Kmart in 1981 but quit after a few months and entered some potentially lucrative beauty pageants. After winning Miss Pacific Coast in 1981, she soon gave up pageant life because she found it shallow. She has lived in California since 1982.
Pacific Gas litigation
The case alleged contamination of drinking water with hexavalent chromium, also known as chromium (VI), in the southern California town of Hinkley. At the center of the case is a facility called the Hinkley Compressor Station, part of a natural gas pipeline connecting to the San Francisco Bay Area and constructed in 1952. Pacific Gas & Electric was in serious trouble. Four decades after the world's largest utility started dumping 370 million gallons of cancer-causing chemicals into unlined ponds in Hinkley, California, the company's actions had finally been uncovered. The case was settled in 1996 for $333 million, the largest settlement ever paid in a direct action lawsuit in U.S. history.
On December 7, 1987 officials from the company advised the State of California they had detected levels of hexavalent chromium (chrome 6) in a groundwater monitoring well north of the compressor station's waste water ponds. The levels were ten times greater than the maximum amount allowed by law.
Known as a cancer-causing chemical since the 1920s, chrome 6 is especially dangerous to lungs. Since many of the Hinkley residents were reporting respiratory problems, a link to chrome 6 contaminations seemed possible.
PG&E distributed flyers discussing the company's use of "chromium" to local residents. Nowhere in the flyer was there any mention of the type of chromium PG&E had used. In fact, one could make a strong case that carefully selected words were deliberately misleading:"Chromium occurs in two forms…. In fact, chromium in this form is a naturally occurring metal that is an essential ingredient in the human diet, one that is often included in multiple vitamin/mineral supplements". Reading these words, one could reasonably think PG&E's hexavalent chromium was almost beneficial. As the plaintiffs' trial brief wryly commented, the flyer might have invited a person to "sprinkle some on your morning cereal."
Ð'ÐFailure to properly identify the dangerous type of "chromium" it had dumped into the environment wasn't PG&E's only omission. The flyer made it sound like detection of contamination at the compressor station was a new development. It wasn't. PG&E first knew about plant contamination by at least 1965.
Ð'ÐPG&E records revealed people at the company were concerned about chrome 6 contamination of Hinkley's groundwater "by at least the summer of 1965." (Plaintiffs' Trial Brief). Ð'ÐInvestigating what PG&E officials knew about the contamination - and when they knew it - Fox TV (local channel 11) ran a series on May 23, 24 and 26, 1994.
The Station compresses one third of the natural gas required by PG&E's customers in northern and central California. The purpose of the Compressor is to boost pressure and to send the natural gas northward. As part of the plant's operation, heat is generated during the gas compression process, and the heat is removed with cooling water. The water, in turn, is cooled by the passage through cooling towers."
Ð'ÐIn the flyer PG&E distributed to neighbors of the compressor station, the company talks about adding chromium to the cooling process: Ð'ÐSmall amounts of chromium were commonly added by industries to cooling towers to prevent corrosion and scaling. "Small amounts" wouldn't cause neighbors who owned ranches and dairy farms to worry much. Chromium (VI) is known to be toxic and carcinogenic, and the 0.58 ppm in the groundwater in Hinkley exceeded the Maximum Contaminant Level of 0.10 ppm currently set by the United States Environmental Protection Agency By 1966 an estimated 65 tons of chromate-based corrosion inhibitors were discharged into the unlined ponds
Once the toxic material was in the unlined ponds, there was nothing to stop it from migrating to the wells that supplied nearby homes, farms and ranches. Once it was in the aquifer that supplied Hinkley residents with all their water, nothing stopped the toxic material from getting into the peoples' wells. Wherever the plume traveled, the corresponding wells in its path were contaminated.
Knowing full well how much chrome 6 the company had used for so many decades, PG&E told neighbors of the plant to Ð'Ð...avoid drinking your well water, but it is safe to use for all other domestic purposes such as bathing and watering animals and plants. It is difficult to comprehend how anyone could have made

The American College of Medical Toxicology will sponsor the Natural Toxins Academy:
Clinical Applications of Cutting-Edge Research in Phoenix, Arizona on March 27, 2014. Topics
will include plant toxins, venoms and antivenoms, and economic concerns related to antidotal
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) January 21, 2014 -- The American College of Medical Toxicology will present the
Natural Toxins Academy: Clinical Applications of Cutting-Edge Research in Phoenix, Arizona on March 27,
2014. This educational conference will highlight the actions and clinical consequences of exposure to a variety
of natural toxins, including plants and herbal preparations, snake venoms, and insecticides.
Toxicity related to both the medicinal and recreational use of herbal products will be discussed. Invited
speakers include Fire and Earth Erowid, who will review current trends in the use of herbal products as
recreational drugs. Breakout sessions will provide an opportunity for in-depth discussion of the medical effects
of hallucinogens and the options available to health care providers for treating adverse effects related to the use
of emerging 'natural' drugs. Ram Subramanian, M.D. from Emory University will provide an update on the
mechanisms, diagnosis, and treatment of liver injury resulting from use of dietary supplements.
Christina Hernon, M.D., a member of the conference steering committee, explains: "We assembled a group of
expert faculty to offer state-of-the-art management strategies for human toxicity resulting from uncommon
plant poisonings, insecticide exposure, and snake and scorpion envenomation." A panel discussion deliberating
the cost versus the benefit of antivenom to treat venomous bites and stings will conclude the course. According
to Lewis Nelson, MD, moderator of the panel, "Whether or not to treat a patient with antivenom is often a very
difficult decision for health care providers in the United States, especially when they consider the staggering
bill that the patient may ultimately receive. Our esteemed panelists will consider some of the complex issues
that affect decisions to use antivenom, and will examine the factors that lead to its high price tag."
The day-long Natural Toxins Academy will take place a day before the start of ACMT's Annual Scientific
Meeting, entitled Technotox: The Intersection of Technology and Toxicology. The Annual Scientific Meeting
will be held at the Arizona Biltmore Hotel in Phoenix, Arizona from March 28th to 30th. All health care
providers wishing to expand and update their knowledge of natural toxins and the use of recent technological
advances to improve toxicology patient care are encouraged to register for these cutting-edge conferences.
ACMT is a professional, nonprofit association of physicians with recognized expertise in medical toxicology.
The College is dedicated to advancing the science and practice of medical toxicology through a variety of

Warning: Rant. Pen Unusable Out Of Box
FloatingFountain posted a topic in Fountain & Dip Pens - First StopJust a rant... skip if you want to. Yesterday I acquired a Sailor Professional Gear Medium as my second "big pen," alongside a Parker Duofold Fine. It was the replacement for my attention-w***** Sonnet. ("If you don't use me for 16 hours, I'll punish you by drying out.") As I'm very happy with my Sailor Sapporo since day one, I expected epic goodness of its bigger brother/sister. Uh... no. I did what I would normally do: open the box, flush the pen (soapy luke-warm water, then clear water, thoroughly), and then I inked it. No dice. It wouldn't write. *ZILCH.* "Hm. Maybe I clogged it with iron gall ink sediment..." Flush, clean, dip the pen and write: still nothing. When pressing harder, the pen would suddenly start to write, but it was somewhat scratchy. So, I cleaned it out again, and decided to take my 20x loupe to it. Diagnosis: - Right tine misaligned, a fraction of a millimeter downward. - No slit: tines were completely clamped shut. Remedy: - Align tines. - Separate tines like SBRE Brown shows in some of his video's on how to make a pen wetter. Result of the next dip test: - Pen would write, but it showed baby bottom behavior: hard starting and skipping as soon as pressure diminished. So, lastly, I wrote a few number 8 and infinity signs on 12K micromesh paper, flossed the nib using a brass sheet, cleaned the nib thoroughly, and tried another dip test. AAAH, normal writing! Finally! I then refilled the pen, and did a normal writing test. It now writes as well and as smooth as my Sapporo (and Duofold). If I post the pen and then keep it between my thumb and index finger at the very end, I can drop the nib onto the paper, and drag the pen across. It will write under its own weight, as (IMHO) a good fountain pen should be able to do. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed that a company, famous for making 'the smoothest nibs ever created' sends out a pen that doesn't even put ink onto the paper right after unboxing. That's ridiculous. This is a pen costing almost €300 (at least in the Netherlands), and I shouldn't have to fix the nib myself. (This was fixing, not tuning, IMHO.) It's fortunate that I restored a number of vintage pens and tinkered with a bunch of cheap Chinese pens (all are sold/traded by now), so that I do have the basic knowledge and experience to do small nib adjustments. I'm sure that any 'normal' customer would have sent this pen back within 5 minutes after unoboxing. /End Rant

Full Arch Replacement
Benefits of a fixed bridge on implants
When all teeth are missing or in such condition that they need to be replaced, a fixed bridge anchored to dental implants is the best permanent solution
Before dental implants, there were no fixed solution available for people who lost all their teeth. Today, it is possible to replace a full jaw with dental implants and a fixed bridge that results in a permanent, stable and high esthetic solution.
The treatment procedure and number of visits is largely dependent on the specific conditions. But all in all, 8-10 visits should be enough to have a fixed bridge installed. Most patients report that they were much more comfortable following the procedure than they had anticipated.
The course of treatment described here is one of several options available. Consult your dentist to find out what the best solution is for you, given your specific condition.
I have been a patient of Dr. Brady for many years now, she's an excellent dentist and very thorough as she cares for her patients. I recommend Dr. Brady; The staff at her office are all very nice and caring as well.
Brian Sladovich
After decades of living in Bergen County, I moved to central NJ several years ago. I went in search of a local dentist, but couldn't find one that gave me the confidence I felt with Dr. Brady. She gives a thorough explanation of any treatment she is recommending, and has such a gentle way about her. Her staff as well makes you feel comfortable from the time you enter the waiting room. It is well worth the travel time to have her as my dentist.

Chest of Drawers
A smart chest of drawers is an essential component of the fashionable bedroom, so it's good to know we've got the complete range of styles to suit every possible taste. If you're aiming for a cottage style bedroom with olde worlde furniture all around, you're spoilt for choice. But if you want your bedroom bedecked in straight edges, shiny surfaces and nothing there that doesn't serve a purpose, we've got pages of modern chests of drawers too.
Your first option is the height and width. We've got all sizes of chests, from waist height to head height, with two, three, four, five or more drawers. If you've got the space, a low, wide chest retains the spacious feel of the room by exposing more of the walls and helps with light distribution. If space is at more of a premium, a higher chest of drawers gives you the same capacity but with a much smaller footprint. Of course, it's all down to personal taste, and how much you need to store away, but make sure you look at all the options before deciding.
A chest of drawers also serves a secondary purpose as being a table or display unit and usually ends up carrying lamps, photos, cosmetic products and other things to make your bedroom more functional and homely. That's also a consideration when choosing your chest of drawers, as the surface area of the top determines how much you can keep up there, and the height plays a part if you want things to be accessible and visible.
Style comes into play when you're designing your room. An older home can be set off perfectly with an ornately decorated bedroom, so it's just a case of picking a period to be inspired by. Everything from Victorian to Art Deco is covered in our chest of drawers collection, so you've got plenty of choices.
Some styles are neither traditional nor modern, so fit in all sorts of spaces. Chunky wood with an untreated look can go with more or less anything in the bedroom, which is probably why it's so popular as a material for a chest of drawers.
Modern bedrooms tend to be all about minimalism and straight lines, with smooth, reflective surfaces. If that sounds like your bedroom or your aspirations for it, You're going to love our collection of fashionable chests of drawers. From polished painted wood to metallics and mirrored surfaces, whatever modern look you're aiming for, we can satisfy it with your bedroom furniture.

This is the latest version of this item.

A major classificatory division of the Arabic vernaculars spoken throughout much of the Arab world is that of the socially-based Sedentary (S) versus Bedouin (B) division. In studies of the Omani dialect area these terms are used to distinguish between the speech of the traditionally settled populace concentrated in and around the mountainous interior of the country (S type), and that of the nomadic and recently settled communities of the deserts (B type). However in some transitional regions the distinction between these dialects is blurred, as the spoken Arabic in these regions contains characteristics of both types. The present contribution examines important structural features of the spoken Arabic of al-Darīz and places the findings within the broader Omani typological context. It is shown that although the dialect exhibits some characteristics of accommodation to the speech of nearby Bedouin communities with respect to certain phonological features, the dialect of al-Darīz retains most of the distinctly S-type features which characterize the traditionally settled communities in and around the mountain region to the north of the country. This is in striking contrast with the situation in the town of al-Mintirib, which is located to the south of al-Darīz. The speech of the sedentary population of al-Mintirib has acquired most of the features which characterize the speech of the surrounding B populace. The differences in the speech of the population in the two towns can be explained by the contrasting socio historical circumstances in which the dialects of each town has developed.

Earlier this year, more than 800 DC residents' Medicaid home health benefits were reduced or terminated after the District hired a new contractor and started using a new assessment tool to determine eligibility.
Leticia Flores*, a 92-year-old DC resident who has been honored for her public service and activism within DC's Latino Community, was one of them. Through the Medicaid EPD Waiver Program, Ms. Flores receives Personal Care Aide (PCA) in home services for 16 hours a day, seven days a week. These services are essential to her health and dignity. However, she was recently reassessed by the Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) for PCA services and her hours were reduced to 12 hours a day.
After her assessment, Ms. Flores came to Legal Aid to seek assistance with challenging this reduction in services. She was part of a wave of clients who came to Legal Aid seeking help, alerting our attorneys to how the new process was making a significant impact on our client community. With the help of Public Benefits Unit Staff Attorney Aida Fitzgerald, Ms. Flores requested a fair hearing challenging the reduction and asked to continue to receive her original allotment of services pending a hearing.
After Aida helped Ms. Flores navigate a series of legal obstacles that included reviving her case after dismissal, DHCF changed its tune and agreed to provide Ms. Flores with in home services a full 16 hours a day, seven days a week.
Legal Aid and our law firm partners are representing dozens of clients like Ms. Flores in these cases and will continue to explore systemic solutions to DC's new home health care crisis.

Tourism can be a blessing or a curse. A blessing when it can be sustainably developed. A curse when a country's economy is fully dependent on this paranoid industry. The former is the path that the Colombian government is fixated on. The controversial campaign of "Colombia is passion" and the desire to turn Colombia into medical tourism hub are testament of this. The potential is phenomenal and unlike many other countries Colombia can develop many different types of tourism industries; among them some never before conceived, but potentially beneficial.
Tourists are always drawn by the exotic, by whatever they can't find in their own countries. Be it astonishing natural settings, distinctive cultures, rich histories, smiley and friendly peoples etc. Colombia has the ability to meet any of those touristic needs and more.
Yet, most Colombians have been programmed to promote the country in the same way. The typical answer that a foreigner will hear when asking a Colombian about the country is that "Colombia is a beautiful country with wonderful beaches, mountains, friendly people, and of course with the most beautiful women." There are even businesses specializing in teaching people how to promote the country. For a fee of US$ 110 anyone can become a "multiplier" able to give conferences on "why to believe in Colombia."
When promoting the country, most Colombians consciously avoid mentioning other areas that Colombia is well known for: violence, druglords, massacres, guerrillas, paramilitaries, internally displaced, cocaine, kidnappings, corruption, etc. Naturally, any person that actually promotes the real Colombia would be called unpatriotic to say the least. After all, Colombians are tired of hearing all the negative stereotypes that the country has deservedly gained.
Nevertheless, these so call negative areas give Colombia a comparative advantage. As any economist would argue, comparative advantages are there to be exploited. This is something that Colombia has done extremely well as the export industries of cocaine and paramilitaries can attest. But appropriate touristic attractions that seek to exploit the real Colombia would certainly attract a wide range of tourists and may pioneer a change in attitude of locals and foreigners alike. The idea is not as insane as the readers may be thinking.
Let's take for instance the obvious industry: cocaine. It's futile to hide that Colombia is the source of over 90 percent of the cocaine entering the U.S; as it's pointless to conceal that the US$ billions of the cocaine trade are funding crimes by paramilitaries, guerrilla, army, as well as contributing to endemic corruption in all sectors of society. But Colombians continue deluding themselves by focusing on other more positive attractions that the country has to offer or downplaying the negative stereotypes that country is known for.
Other more realistic approaches are based on explaining foreigners of the negative effects of cocaine for the country. For instance, Casa Kiwi, a hostel in Medellin, widely visited by backpackers, states in its website that, "If not for your own well-being, we would encourage you to refrain from supporting violence against the Colombian people by purchasing cocaine." Another example is the Colombian Vice President, Francisco Santos, who travels around the world explaining that, "every gram of cocaine you inhale destroys four square metres of rainforest."
These are of course important announcements. But they do not achieve their purpose of dissuading the consumption of cocaine or explaining the complex effects that cocaine has in the country.
The correct approach may be based in creating real life scenarios that provide first hand experiences to the effects that cocaine has in society; something similar to what museums are for culture and history. In Colombia there are museums devoted to coffee, gold, sugar cane, indigenous culture, even bullfighting. Therefore, something resembling a cocaine museum should not be such an absurd proposition, more so when there are tourists visiting drug labs already.
The importance of a cocaine museum is the educational purpose that it would have. It can explain the process of making the coca leaf into cocaine, which includes adding sulphuric acid, sodium carbonate, acetone, ammonia and potassium permanganate. It can then illustrate the extensive social, ecological, economic and political problems that entail the production and consumption of one gram of cocaine. It could offer, therefore, a crash course to understand the realities of the country.
A cocaine museum would not encourage cocaine consumption. Rather, it could become a powerful deterrent by raising the consciousness of local and foreigners alike. Foreigners would be more aware of what lies behind that innocuous line of coke. For locals it would be even more significant since they would have to accept the realities of the country. Only by accepting those realities would they be able to change the catalysts of the trade. A cocaine museum would only be the start.
Colombia may potentially rival other country's particular touristic attractions. For instance, instead of going to Germany to see the remnants of concentrations camps, people could visit abandoned FARC's camps; instead of going to Vietnam to observe the atrocities of the U.S. sponsored war, people could visit Colombia's deserted towns and dead agricultural fields due glisophate fumigation; instead of going to Cambodia and Rwanda to learn about genocide, people could visit the mass graves of the paramilitaries; instead of going to South Africa to learn about apartheid, people could experience the geographical apartheid and institutionalized racism in Colombia; instead of going to parts of Africa to get a glimpse of children dying of hunger, people could visit particular towns in Colombia.
Only by showing the real Colombia to tourists and locals alike can Colombians accept and start taking actions to change the country; a country that everyone knows, but everyone conceals.

Apert syndrome is a complex condition caused by premature fusion, or early closure, of one or more of the sutures (specialised joints between skull bones that expand during normal brain growth) that separate the bony plates of the skull.
Apert syndrome (AS) is a frequent form of acrocephalosyndactyly*, which is a group of rare genetic syndromes. It is characterised by craniosynostosis, midface hypoplasia, and finger and toe anomalies and/or syndactyly. Orphanet
Apert syndrome is a condition that affects the craniofacial structures and the limbs.
A syndrome is a disease or disorder that has more than one identifying feature or symptom.
Children with Apert syndrome have bicoronal synostosis, midface hypoplasia and complex syndactyly of the hands and feet.
- Bicoronal synostosis means that both of the coronal sutures of the skull have fused together, causing an abnormal head shape and potentially increased pressure on the growing brain.
- Midface hypoplasia means that the upper two-thirds of the face do not grow normally, causing an abnormal appearance, dental problems (an abnormal bite) and maybe other problems such as sleep apnea.
- Complex syndactyly is a condition in which the fingers and toes are joined together, or webbed, because the bones in the tips of the digits are fused.
- Most children with Apert syndrome have delayed developmental milestones, though this varies from child to child.
- Apert syndrome requires highly specialized treatment by a team of craniofacial medical and surgical subspecialists.
How rare is Apert syndrome?
The estimated incidence of Apert syndrome is reported to be 1/100,000 to 1/160,000 live births. This means it is very rare.
Children generally have extensive structural and functional impairments/disabilities as a result of the malformations of the head and limbs.
Craniosynostosis can lead to acrobrachycephaly or turribrachycephaly with large, late-closing fontanels with a possible impact on brain growth and neurological development. Macrocephaly (increased head circumference) is also found.
Limb involvement in Apert syndrome
Limb malformations mainly consist of soft tissue and bony syndactyly of fingers and toes (involving variable number of digits). The anomalies in the hands are mirror images of each other and are characterized by the following 4 common features:
- Radial deviation of a short thumb as a result of an abnormally shaped proximal phalanx (ie, delta phalanx);
- Complex syndactyly of the index, long, and ring fingers;
- Symbrachyphalangism of the central segments of the index, long, ring, and small fingers; and
- Simple syndactyly of the web space between the ring and small fingers.
Read more about syndactyly in Apert syndrome here.
Other common features of Apert syndrome
Facial findings include midface hypoplasia (where the centre of the face develops more slowly than the eyes, forehead, and lower jaw). In Apert syndrome, the hypoplasia is generally moderate to severe with hypoplasia of the maxilla, shallow orbits, strabismus, hypertelorism, down-slanting palpebral fissures, proptosis, as well as depressed nasal bridge and deviated nasal septum.
Dental findings include delayed appearance of the teeth which may also be impacted and crowded in the mouth with thick, swollen gums. Unilateral and bilateral posterior crossbites are frequent. A posterior crossbite occurs when the top back teeth bite inside the bottom back teeth
Common associated complications include chronic otitis media (ear infections), hearing loss, and increased ocular (eye) pressure that can cause blindness.
Moderate to severe intellectual disability and variable developmental delay are also common in AS (more than 50% of cases). Some patients are also reported to have agenesis of the corpus callosum (see this term), ventriculomegaly, hydrocephalus, fused cervical vertebrae (usually C5-C6), and occasionally cardiac and gastrointestinal defects, radiohumeral synostosis, or ceft velum (see this term).

2017 CMM Learning Exchange
The program for this year is being co-constructed under the theme "Minding the Gap – Creating New Space for Coherence". Given the current climate in different contexts and public discourses we are interested in ideas for acknowledging and transforming the patterns of communication in ways that may foster the desire and capacity to build bridges across and within communities, families, institutions, organisations and our global communication networks.
The CMM fellows for this year's LE will be talking abut the theme in two quite different, but very significant, ways:
- Don Waisanen, a professor of Communication at CUNY
"Improv for democracy: How to develop the communication, leadership and civic skills our world needs"
- Tracey Jane Johnston & Peter Robinson, family therapists, Scotland
"Continuing bonds and re-connecting identities as resources for living and enduring legacies within families and communities"
We also have other keynote speakers and special sessions:
- John Burnham: The levels are not fixed in name or number: the use of CMM hierarchy model
- Yasmin Alibhai Brown: Mind the gap: The contradictory realities of the inner and relational lives of troubled young Muslims.
- AC4 Fellows: "Stories to Bridge Divides": AC4 Fellows' Presentations and Panel Discussion
And we have a number of dedicated workshop sessions that include:
- Alastair Pearson: CMM and the art of spiritual bridge building
- John Burnham: The levels are not fixed in name or number: a practice application.
- Jukka-Pekka Heikkila, Humap Consultation Ltd: Practices to use art and digital solutions in organisational consultation
- Kim Pearce, Marit Haavimb & Pastor Chipps Taylor: Minding the gap using cosmoKidz: Teaching young children relational response-abilities about their social worlds
- Kazuma Matoba: Theoretical foundations on cosmopolitan communication: Integrated model of science and mysticism
It's not too late to register for the Learning Exchange and you can do so directly through

Because Steve Phillips' mock press
conferences weren't cringe-inducing enough, ESPN will feature a series
of "Santa Kruk" segments during SportsCenter next week, in which he
will present gifts to some major league teams (watch them all here, if you dare). Among them, a "goat
catcher" for the Cubs, a rocket scientist for the Astros and tickets to
a Sister Sledge concert for the Pirates. It has all the trappings of public access television, but with the reach of tens of millions of homes.

As The Big Bang Theory is heading into its 10th season, the show will get a special recognition at CBS' upfront presentation. I hear the cast of the network's flagship comedy will get to the stage at Carnegie Hall on Wednesday for a skit. Details are being kept under wraps, but I hear everyone from the cast will be attending except for Kunal Nayyar, who is doing a play in London. Different configurations of cast members from the show have attended the CBS upfront party through the yours (above is the group from 2011), and Mayim Bialik appeared as her character Amy in the presentation a couple of years ago. But this is said to be a bigger thing.
It is expected to be among the highlights of CBS' presentation, which will showcase the network's 2016-2017 schedule. Among the questions that the schedule will answer: Will Kevin James return to his old Monday 8 PM turf where his previous CBS sitcom, The King Of Queens, spent most of its run? CBS has eight new and returning comedy series for next season, so it will likely expand beyond its current two-hour Thursday comedy block.
That Thursday block was launched in 2010 with the move of The Big Bang Theory to anchor it at 8 PM. Here is a throwback to upfronts 2010 when the network announced the scheduling move and my story, Is 'The Big Bang Theory' the Next 'Friends'?
And one more question for the presentation: Will CBS showcase late-night host James Corden' viral hit Carpool Karaoke? Who wouldn't want to see Carpool Karaoke with Les Moonves?
