Pike County, Ohio murders have aspects of 'professional hit,' expert says
The brutal, unsolved murders of seven adults and one immature in Ohio in 2016 have the "aspects of a professional hit," an expert said in the week.Dr. Jennifer Murray's analysis builds on the results of an autopsy report discharged last week within the notorious slayings. while there are no arrests within the case, Pike County authorities have long believed the deaths were tied to the drug trade.
All eight folks shot were members of the Rhoden family.
"It has aspects of a professional hit, however i do not assume it was a combine hit or something like that," Dr. Jennifer Murray, a mass killings expert and associate professor at Indiana State University, told WLWT-TV on Th. "They're not usually this cleanly done. Usually, you'll see quickly who did it."
Despite characterizing the murders as a drug-related crime, authorities haven't named a suspect or suspects within the slayings. lawyer General mike DeWine previously said christopher Rhoden Sr., 40, oversaw a "large-scale marijuana grow operation."
The autopsies describe in detail what number times the victims — christopher Rhoden Sr., 40; clarence "Frankie" Rhoden, 20; Dana Lynn Rhoden, 37; gary Rhoden, 38; Hanna may Rhoden, 19; Hannah Gilley, 20; Kenneth Rhoden, 44; and christopher Rhoden jr., 16 – were shot.
The new information reveals that almost all of the Rhoden family victims were shot multiple times.
Christopher Rhoden Sr. was shot nine times. His ex-wife, Dana Rhoden, was shot 5 times within the head. anyone of the shots would seemingly have killed her.
"When you get that when they are dead, that is showing even more aggression," Murray said.
Investigators haven't named a suspect however said they were targeted on the Wagner family, who knew the Rhodens and had a association through a baby of 1 of the victims.
"The authorities using the media wish the general public to believe that the Wagners are accountable and have absconded," Clark told the Cincinnati enquirer. "If that were true, why would the Wagners have step forward on their own and agreed to administer no matter limited info they had?"
While the autopsies revealed members of the Rhoden family were dead in a sadistic manner, Murray said professionals might have helped whomever was behind the slayings.
"It's 2 years later and that they haven't indicted anybody. so they did a pretty smart job and i do not think the average family usually knows the way to do that. thus there is a potential they may have hired somebody," she told WLWT-TV.
Authorities suspect there have been multiple attackers in the slayings and that they were familiar with the area. Piketon is found 70 miles south of Columbus. The killers are believed to own worked to cover their tracks, authorities have said.
"Nobody's seen something like this," Pike County public prosecutor Rob Junk said last week.

Radon in Your Home
Radon is once again in the headlines and just this past week, I heard several radio commercials related to radon and have had a couple of calls. Compounding the need for today's article is also the concerns related to granite countertops and radon exposure.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas, produced by the normal decay of uranium in rock and soil. As uranium decays, it produces radium, which in turn, releases radon gas. You cannot see, smell or taste radon. Once released, this gas rises to the surface of the soil and escapes into the atmosphere or into a building. Radon can seep through dirt floors, cracks in concrete walls and floors, floor drains, sump pumps, joints and hollow block walls to enter your home.
When inhaled, radon particles tend to lodge in the lungs and emit radiation, which damages surrounding lung tissue. The health risk of excessive exposure to radon gas is an increased risk of lung cancer. Radon gas exposure has been estimated to contribute to 20,000 lung cancer deaths each year. Smokers are at higher risk of developing radon-induced lung cancer.
Radon can be found in all fifty states. While radon problems may be more common in the upper piedmont and mountain counties of North Carolina, any home may have an elevated radon level. New and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements can have a problem. The only way to determine the level is to conduct a radon test. The amount of radon in the air is measured in "picoCuries per liter of air," or "pCi/L." Sometimes test results are expressed in Working Levels (WL) rather than picoCuries per liter (pCi/L). The EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that all homes be tested for radon and homes with radon levels at or above 4 pCi/L be repaired to reduce the amount of radon entering the indoor air. Indoor radon levels can vary from home to home so don't rely on radon test results taken in the neighborhood, even ones next door, to estimate the radon level in your home. In 1990, seventy-three homes in Lee County participated in a radon test conducted by Cooperative Extension. Our county did not have one home testing over 4pCi/l. The EPA Radon Zone Map for NC shows Lee County in zone 3 with the average predicted indoor radon levels of less than 2 pCI/l.
There are many kinds of low-cost "do-it-yourself" radon test kits you can get at local hardware and home improvement stores. The cost runs around $15 to $25 and includes lab and mailing fees. The NC Radon program was distributing free kits, but that supply has been exhausted. Their website does have a source for purchasing radon meters. If you should have a reading greater than 4pCi/l, additional testing is recommended with possible mitigation. For this you will want to consultant a certified radon professional. A list of these testers can be found on the NC Radon website at http://www.ncradon.org/
There has been an increased interest in radon related to granite counter tops. This concern is nothing new; radon in granite countertops has surfaced several times over the past ten years. While it is possible that granite counter tops can release radon, the NC Radon Program reports the instances of this happening are very infrequent. The program suggest homeowners focus on testing the radon in the air rather than trying to test the granite counter tops as the health risk comes from breathing the radon and there is not an easy and inexpensive way to test granite counter tops. Testing for radon in the air would be the first step, then if it appears that radon is higher in the kitchen than the basement (the more typical area for radon entry), you could begin focusing on the granite counter tops as the source of the problem. Radon coming from granite countertops quickly diffuses into the air. In July of 2008 EPA confirmed that granite countertops are not a realistic source of radon gas and the general pubic should not be concerned about having granite countertops in the home. If you would like more information on this topic, give me a call at 775-5624.

Admit it…. You want them. Full, plump, juicy, sexy lips. You see them on TV, in the movies, and in fashion magazines. All the stars seem to have luscious lips and you want to know the secret. Right?
Unfortunately, many of us do not start out with full lips and as we get older, our lips start to shrink and get thinner. So what is a girl to do? Well, there are some temporary ways to either make your lips a bit larger or use make-up as an illusion to create bountiful beauty.
One way to make your lips a bit bigger is to slough off the dead skin by brushing your lips with a soft toothbrush or rubbing with a facecloth. This will remove any dry tissue and aggravate the lip tissue which will respond by becoming inflamed. You can then apply lipstick or gloss and be on your way.
Or, try a little cinnamon oil or black pepper to irritate the lips and cause them to swell slightly. Only problem with this method is that it can backfire over time and dry the lips out. This will ultimately speed the rate of aging and make your lips smaller without the constant stimulation. Another method is to use an over the counter plumping product that contains chemicals to induce inflammation. These can work short term but need to be used frequently and can be expensive depending on the brand.
The other suggestion is to use makeup to add dimension and make your lips appear bigger. Some make-up artists recommend simply using a lighter shade of lipstick. Others advise that you add a little clear gloss in the center of your top and bottom lip (over the lipstick) to give a poutier appearance. Or you can add a little eyeliner below your lower lip to give the illusion of a shadow that makes the lips look larger.
While all of these tricks can work short term, most of us know that the stars are really not going through this process daily. The reality is that unless born with beautiful, puffy lips, there is a strong likelihood that there has been some chemical enhancements. Many women that are in the entertainment or fashion industry have learned long ago about the secret of dermal fillers for creating the look they want.
There are all sorts of dermal fillers on the market today that can plump up the lips and reduce wrinkles at the same time. Unlike the fillers of the past, today's smooth gel formulas can give anyone a natural look and not a case of "fish lips." The real trick is to find the right plastic surgeon that has the experience and knowledge to make the lips fuller without overdoing it.
According to Dr. Dominic Castellano, a board-certified facial plastic surgeon in Tampa, Florida, it is a combination of skillful injection of the best fillers in exactly the right quantities that craft the most natural look. Dr. Dominic uses either Juvederm or Restylane Silk to add volume to the lips while keeping a normally smooth appearance. "There is an art to injecting fillers in such a way that the outcome is attractive, not abnormally plump." Smooth gel fillers such as Juvederm or Restylane Silk will work to add volume for up to 4 to 6 months at a time.
These medications also help fill in the small wrinkles around the lips which will make the patient look younger as well as more attractive. The chemicals in the fillers are similar to substances already produced by the body and so fillers will be safely absorbed over time. When the product wears off, another treatment can be done to reproduce the desired form.
If you would like to enhance your appearance and want to learn more about how dermal fillers can work for you, make sure that you work with a well-qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon. There are many different types of providers that offer discount injections whether in a party like setting or as an add-on to their regular business (think hair or tanning salons). The problem is that these non-medical personnel are the ones that give the plastic surgery business a bad name with the abnormal results of adding too much filler, incorrectly placing filler, or using the wrong type of product.
At Elite Facial Plastic Surgery in Tampa, Florida, all procedures are done in an accredited medical facility by well-trained personnel operating under the direction of the renowned Dr. Dominic. You can schedule a complimentary consultation to learn more about procedures to enhance your lips and facial features by calling (813) 975-3223 or visiting our website today.

DARLINGTON MWENDABAI, Chipata
AVAIDA Sakala, 54, a Petauke mother of seven, is thankful that her daughter has an opportunity to deliver safely as she waits at Petauke District Hospital.
Having delivered six of her seven children at home with the assistance of traditional birth attendants, Ms Sakala knows all too well the risks that women who have no access to qualified medical personnel face.
"I could have died in labour and so I thank God I'm alive today," she says.
Speaking in an interview outside the maternal ward, Ms Sakala says she does not wish for any woman to die in labour and appreciates the benefits of delivering in health facilities instead of homes.
"Hospitals have skilled manpower to handle maternity cases as opposed to traditional birth attendants," Ms Sakala says.
Ms Sakala urged every pregnant woman to visit health facilities for antenatal and post-natal services especially that they are now available even in rural areas.
"During our days, there were few health facilities accessible to rural women hence many resorted to giving birth at home under unskilled hands of traditional birth attendants," she says.
She urged women to take advantage of the increase in health facilities such as health posts, clinics and hospitals.
The same sentiments were echoed by a 39-year-old mother of six, Jennifer Zulu, who urged women to embrace the call by Government to give birth at health facilities.
"Some women lose a lot of blood during labour, so it is better when one is at a health institution where blood transfusion facilities are available," she says.
These women are in a district that lies about 420 kilometres east of Zambia's capital city, Lusaka and 180km west of Chipata City. The district borders Nyimba in the west, Sinda to the east, Serenje in the north, Mambwe in the North-east and the neighbouring country of Mozambique in the South.
The two Petauke women can consider themselves lucky. According to a World Health Organisation (WHO) 2014 report titled, 'Trends in Maternal Mortality:1990 to 2013,' estimated life time risk of maternal deaths in Zambia stands at 1 in 59.
"It should be noted that each year, more than 208 million pregnancies occur globally; 185 million occur in the developing world alone. More than 500,000 women die annually due to pregnancy-related complications," the report reads.
The report further observes that in many low-income countries, the maternal mortality ratios are 100-fold greater than in high-income countries. For instance, the adult lifetime risk of death due to pregnancy was 1:39 in Sub-Saharan Africa against 1: 3800 for developed countries.
According to a United Nations Development Programme 2013 report, Zambia continues to face high levels of maternal mortality with an average of 38 women dying every month due to pregnancy and childbirth. The central statistical office (CSO) 2012 figures indicate that close to 500 women out of every 100,000 die in the process of giving birth. The report also indicates that Zambia has sought to reduce maternal mortality by ensuring universal access to family planning, skilled attendance at birth, and basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric care.
Petauke health district director Charles Fanaka said one of the measures include engaging traditional birth attendants in community awareness programmes on reproductive health and importance of delivering in health institutions.
"Sadly, eight maternal deaths have since been recorded in the district compared to six last year," Dr Fanaka said in an interview.
Dr Fanaka says partners such as Churches Health Association of Zambia are supporting the district through the SM360+ project in reproductive maternal new-born adolescent and child health (RMNACH) activities as a measure to reduce maternal deaths.
He said the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA) is also supporting RMNACH while Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia is supporting HIV/AIDS activities.
He says other measures taken include training staff in emergency obstetric and neonatal care (EmONC) to manage complicated maternal cases.
"So far, 140 community- based volunteers have been trained through the safe motherhood action groups in Refuge, Mankhungwe, Mwanika, Merwe, Chikuse, Satellite 30 and Satellite 18 Rural Health Centres. He says the health facilities will be supplementing the existing two first level hospitals: Petauke district Hospital and Minga Hospital," he said.
Dr Fanaka says the rehabilitation and extension of health facilities as well as construction of a mothers' shelter and maternity annexes have been undertaken since 2015, resulting in an increase in institutional deliveries in the province.
Provincial medical director, Abel Kabalo said the province also recorded a reduction in child mortality from 32.3 per 1,000 births in 2013 to 31.4 per 1,000 births in 2014. He also said maternal deaths dropped from 81 in 2013 to 71 in 2014.
Speaking in an interview in Chipata, Dr Kabalo said in 2014 Government procured ambulances and motorbikes in line with the 2010 campaign on accelerated reduction of maternal death with one objective captured in the phrase – No woman should die while giving life.
He said as at December 31, 2016, the province had recorded 92 maternal deaths while 47 had been recorded from January to July 2017. In terms of districts, Dr Kabalo said Chipata recorded 15 cases, Katete 8, while Petauke recorded 6.
And provincial permanent secretary Chanda Kasolo said health facilities will continue to be constructed and fitted with medical equipment to ensure women have access to needed services. He said so far 20 ambulances and 105 motorbikes have been procured with support from SIDA to promote maternal health.

As we all know, there are many types of vending machines that are easy to start up. One of them is the combo vending machines that sell both drinks and snacks. Some vending machines also sell single item products like drinks, candies, and snacks. In a vending world, most owners use the combo vending machines as it is in this way where they can have a bigger opportunity to earn money from the customers. This article shows the good things that we can get by running a vending machine business as well as some disadvantages that should be considered and worked on.
Guaranteed steady income
As most of the business takes longer to become profitable, it takes just several months for a vending machine business to become profitable. With the right location and route, it will be so easy for one to put up a vending machine business and earn from it. Vending machines that are more accessible get more earnings than those vending machines that are placed in an exclusive market place like a school and a big company cafeteria.
Less effort on operations
It will be easy for a business man to operate a vending machine business once the route has been established. A vending machine business owner should be focused on the route, restocking the products, and visiting the machine. It is also very essential to ensure that each product served is fresh and if not, then it needs to be removed immediately to avoid big damages caused by an unsatisfied and angry customer.
Low cost capital
Yes, putting up a vending machine business can be a bit pricey but compared to putting up a different and usual business in which there is a need to rent a bigger place and hire a staff or two; then we can say that the capital to start up vending machines are more affordable. If the budget and time permits, multiple machines purchased guarantees a significant income.
Finding good locations
One of the biggest challenges of putting up a vending machine business is finding the right location. If vending machines will be placed in a place where there are less people passing by, then it will surely results to a not so good income. Again, if the budget permits, one can hire a professional to find a good location for vending machines. Location finders get to deal with the stores when discussing about the amount that they are going to get by the time that the vending machines start to earn money. It will be also best to check each location first in the Better Business Bureau to ensure that the vending machine business will be scam free.
Repairs and Theft
One of the disadvantages of operating a vending machine business is the risk to theft. It can be workable though, by placing the vending machines in an area covered by security services or to install CCTV cameras to intimidate the thief. Expensive repair services for the machines also eat a lot from the budget and also time. Spending while the operation is being stopped due to damages is never a good idea on making profits. Investing on tutorials or books about repairing the machines on your own will be a big help to save up time and a big amount of money. A lot of online articles and instructions can also be found on the internet.

Pretty Pictures Bio:
Pretty Pictures is a splendid musical montage from Buffalo, New York. With countless musical influences being brought together, Pretty Pictures is jumping forward with advancements in innovation. The band's birth was conceived in the autumn of 2010 when the group formed in a college music class. Initially, guitarist Tyler Gagliardi was going to be the band's front man; upon meeting Jen Palmer their current vocalist, Tyler felt obliged to switch over to guitar after hearing her voice. The switch over to guitar made Tyler the third guitarist in the band. This decision at first seemed unnecessary, but with time the three guitarists worked in multiple layers of guitar parts that fused many different styles. Thus, a wall of unearthly tones and dimensions emerged. Guitarists Nate Rosenburg, Anthony Fadale and Tyler Gagliardi all have their own unique blend of influences that give the band a very unique sound. With lots of post-rock, post-hardcore and ambient influence, the guitar layers are all brought together in a rich orchestration of sound. Bassist Rich Robinson adds a complete dimension of groove to the concoction which complements the compositions significantly. The band recorded their first demo at Watchmen Studios in Lockport, New York where artists such as The Gym Class Heroes recorded, and many others. The band plans to finish up their album and get immense recognition locally and worldwide.

It's been a good day. A nice, quiet, relaxing day of just plain old pottering around my house.
My niece had a dance performance today and unfortunately we were unable to attend, so my brother and sister in law and niece and nephew left around noon and have yet to return. It means my little family and I got some much needed alone time.
You know, you never really understand how much family time is important, until you no longer have it.
We love having my brother and his family here, but I think it's so imperative that both families carve out some alone time, even if just for a day....and we were needing this so very badly.
Did we do anything fantastic? No. We did what we always do, we just hung around the house, puttered here and there, ate a simple lunch, laughed, talked, sat down just the four of us for dinner and enjoyed the quiet moments.....because you do know that a household full of people is a constant buzz of noise.
I wanted to share my day with you and just show you a little here and there. I haven't done it in a while.
Remember those posts I would do, the daily ones where I showed you pictures of some corners of my home? I've missed those, so this one is kind of like that, just a bunch of pictures that will give you a little insight into my corner of the world.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Changed out the kitchen curtains, removed my little pumpkin garland and added my dried orange slices again.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Turned on my beautiful Scentsy holder and enjoyed the wonderful scent that permeated through the house.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ A quick, easy, filling lunch of Asian Wraps.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Watered all the plants in the house and smiled at this little Christmas tree that is still thriving and looking ever so pretty.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Rearranged some of the items on my baker's rack and added the pumpkin garland to it. At first I just hung it there until I decided where to place it permanently, but I love how it looks, and so it stays.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Some housecleaning, which of course includes the not so popular bathrooms. One of my least favorite chores in the house.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Stepped out front for some fresh air and smiled at the flags, all lined up, standing at attention. A welcome pop of color on a dark, grey foggy day.
♥♥♥ ♥♥♥ Dusted the shelves and shook out all the crochet blankets, then set them back on the shelf and sat back to smile. I do love how crochet items look all neatly folded.
This afternoon, I turned the fire on, made myself a cup of coffee and sat down to work on the Period Drama Lists. You can now look through either the Period Drama Documentaries, Period Drama TV Series or Period Drama Movies.
I think it will make it much easier for you all to find a specific show to watch, so I hope you enjoy these :)
And now, my crochet is calling my name, so I better skedaddle on out of here.
Have a wonderful night!

Two men debating the platforms in the Democratic and Republican conventions during 1968 would set the stage for decades of argument over foreign policy and fiscal politics. Like fortune tellers, they prophesied a polarizing, ideological divide in American society: one an Anglo-Saxon Christian with firm conservative convictions, the other an influential liberal who shaped the discourse on sexual, gender, and economic politics. Their beliefs could hardly be any different, but they shared one concern: America's growing divide between rich and poor, rising racial unrest, and developing chaotic wars around the world; these should not continue.
Robert Gordon and Morgan Neville's documentary on the public feud between conservative National Review editor William F. Buckley Jr. and uber-liberal playwright and author Gore Vidal is about that specific time in America, but more intriguingly, how that period shaped contemporary politics and television. The recounting of the ten debates that aired on ABC in 1968 are examined through three clear layers: (1) a history of network television news, (2) a metaphor of the hostile divide between the political right and left through Buckley and Vidal, and (3) a time capsule of the political turmoil from then to now.
As a struggling network, ABC couldn't afford to do wall-to-wall coverage of the GOP and Democratic conventions like the other TV stations, so they decided to take a chance by airing live debates between Buckley and Vidal. Little did they know that the eccentric mannerisms, witty insults, and tension-filled anger in these two intellectuals would sky-rocket their ratings and change the way news was done: two pundits arguing over an issue. Best of Enemies deals with this history efficiently and humorously.
Best of Enemies does a good job of framing the ten debates with modern talking-head interviews from friends of Buckley and Vidal who stage the ABC coverage in their socio-economic context while relating it to ours. Sometimes the film just shows lengthy excerpts from the debates where the two men sling mud, like an infamous instance where Buckley calls Vidal a "queer," telling him "I'll sock you in your goddamn face and you'll stay plastered." The quick editing and precise but sometimes frantic score builds the fiery tempers while staging the clips from the debates in a way that accentuates their energy, passion, and wit. The lead up to Buckley's infamous meltdown is developed as if it were the final shootout or the championship game.
In almost every way, excluding a section at the end which strays from the three distinct layers in the film to examine allegations that Buckley was a homosexual, Best of Enemies is full of fast-paced theatrics–the kind ABC was trying to harness to boost ratings. But like this style of news, the film feels like a play of sound and fury without much deep thought, because it focuses more on the ad hominem slurs and Buckley and Vidal's back-handed comments than the actual issues. The film only references these mens' ideas rather than engaging with how they relate to the vague portrait of American politics that is painted.
One thing that makes these debates so striking in contrast with today's political coverage is Vidal and Buckley's precision and articulation. They speak with depth and clarity. They may resort to ad hominem attacks, but they are still dealing with ideas in ways that are thoughtful and uncommon today–where whoever yells the loudest wins the debate.
From the way these two sides have remained static on their proposed solutions to the frustrating lack of a consensus on the issues, the more the world has changed the more these issues have remained the same, slowly inflating like a balloon just waiting to pop. As long as we continue to argue with personal attacks and ignore the issues with shallow news coverage, we will still be waiting. Best of Enemies feels like its own worst enemy; it recognizes the problems in America, offering two different perspectives, but it does little to weigh the solutions.

All road construction materials offer various advantages and disadvantages. But asphalt has proven to be one of the best road construction materials in the market today. The main competitor for this prestigious position is concrete. But asphalt offers too many advantages that concrete is really losing the supremacy battle in the road construction industry. Asphalt is a semisolid material composed of sand, stone and gravel all bound together by asphalt cement, which is a petroleum byproduct. Today we are going to look at the many advantages and the few disadvantages that make asphalt such a great road construction material.
Asphalt offers so many advantages that it's quite clear why it's regarded as the most superior material in the road construction industry. Let u now look at some of the major benefits of using asphalt in road construction.
Easy To Install
Asphalt pavements, parking lots, and driveways are far much easier to install than any other material. When compared to the concrete, the second most popular material in road construction, asphalt takes up less than half the time it takes to install concrete. Concrete requires time to set and cure. Whereas an asphalt pavement can take just two days to install, you will need a week or more before you use a similar concrete pavement.
Cheaper To Install
Asphalt pavements are cheaper to install than concrete pavements. A concrete pavement costs more than double the amount it costs to install a similar asphalt pavement. You will also take more time to install a concrete pavement, which makes it less cost-effective than asphalt.
Beautiful To Look At
Asphalt has a rich shiny black color after installation. A newly installed asphalt pavement will take your breath away. And even when your asphalt pavement is several years old, you can request for Anderson asphalt sealing services to have the whole surface sealcoated with a rich glossy dark sealant.
Another reason why asphalt is super popular in the road construction industry is because it is recyclable. You can recycle all your old worn-out asphalt pavements. This means that asphalt is eco-friendly. Instead of buying new road construction materials, you can reclaim asphalt using the asphalt milling proves and reuse it in other construction projects. This makes asphalt both eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Withstands Cold Weather Conditions
Asphalt can withstand extreme temperature variations. When installed, an asphalt pavement sets in just fine. It does not shrink and expand as the weather changes, which means that it doesn't crack and fold like concrete. This is why asphalt pavements last for a very long time even in extreme weather conditions.
Easy To Repair And Replace
Asphalt is very easy to repair and replace. You can have your damaged asphalt surfaces patched or resurfaced. The good news is that you only have to mill the top layer and replace or repair it while leaving the bottom layers intact.
Preventive Maintenance
Asphalt requires regular preventive maintenance to remain functional. You need to repair your asphalt surfaces if you have cracks or holes. You also need to sealcoat and to reseal your asphalt pavement after every 2-5 years. By maintaining your asphalt pavements properly, they will uphold their beauty and be very long-lasting.

S.F. Giants Community Fund hits a home run
The faint scent of grilled hot dogs is co-mingling with a whiff of hope as this even-year spring unfolds amid blue-sky days for the San Francisco Giants. And the beloved boys of orange-and-black are back, batting like the three-time World Series Champs they are.
Also at bat: fans of all ages who recently turned out at the Fairmont hotel, where the S.F. Giants Community Fund and Blue Shield of California hosted the annual Play Ball Lunch.
Following snaking lines of selfie snaps with our hometown heroes, this gang raised $450K for the fund's free Junior Giants Baseball program as it inducted Mount Shasta volunteer coach Mike Rodriguez into the Junior Giants Hall of Fame.
Like the Giants players, the fund, led by Sue Petersen, is posting some nice numbers, too: This year marks a quarter-century of providing character development, healthy lifestyles and baseball instruction to more than 25,000 underserved youth in 91 leagues across California, Nevada and Oregon.
Over those 25 years, the fund has raised $24 million and was honored last fall with Major League Baseball's Commissioner's Award for Philanthropic Excellence.
Ticking off season stats, Giants President-CEO Larry Baer noted that 2016 marks the franchise's 134th season as a team; its 59th year in San Francisco; and its 17th year at AT&T Park: "Or, as we still like to call it around the office, 'our new ballpark.'"
But it was no joke as he praised the generosity of these 1,000 Junior Giants supporters.
"Because of your support, every child in our community has the ability and opportunity to challenge themselves, stay connected with mentors and learn the many life skills that baseball can teach," he toasted. "I look forward to seeing all of you at the ballpark."
Grade A: Regaling the crowd at the Four Seasons Hotel during the recent Chef's Lunch for Mission Dolores Academy, founder Father Charles Gagan recalled his 2010 pitch to stalwart San Francitizens who helped him create this private K-8 charter school (amalgamated from struggling Catholic schools) serving low-income families.
"It's going to take a lot of faith and a lot of financial support to make this school run well. But we'll divide the effort," he recounted. "I'll bring the faith and you bring the cash."
Cash was king again as supporters raised $977K for the academy's programs and students, 90 percent of whom graduate into top city high schools.
This gourmet fete, led by event chair Sara Duryea, featured delicious menus by top toques Craig Stoll (Delfina); Gerald Hirigoyen (Piperade); Mourad Lahlou (Mourad); Salvatore Cracco (Trou Normand); Alexander La Motte (the Four Seasons) and founding event chef Slanted Door's Charles Phan.
The event also honored Millicent Lalanne and her husband, UC Berkeley's Real Estate Vice Chancellor Bob Lalanne, who served as Mission Dolores Academy board chairman and lent their development expertise to renovate the academy's campus.
"Virtually every MDA student receives financial aid. And almost all these kids will be first-generation college-bound students," said Bob Lalanne. "They will have developed a very sharp mind, a big heart and healthy body. But most important, because of you, they will have the gift of self-esteem and purpose in their life."
Bear hugs: Well-dressed kiddos careened around the Getty manse, where philanthropists Ann and Gordon Getty turned their stately digs into a kids' carnival replete with face-painting and corn dogs served from silver platters.
The kids' grateful parents responded by raising a record $265K at this 10th Snuggly Soiree in late March supporting the Glogau Teddy Bear Rescue Fund at UCSF Benioff's Children's Hospital.
Dreamed up by Dr. Richard Glogau and his wife, Pam Baj Glogau, when their son, Gordon, received treatment at UCSF in the first year of his life, the fund affords comforts both large (hotel rooms; gas money) and small (cafeteria meals; teddy bears) to the low-income families of patients receiving treatment at the Mission Bay hospital.
UCSF Benioff Executive Director Kimberly Scurr, joined by CEO Mark Laret and Chancellor Dr. Sam Hawgood, praised the Glogaus for recognizing the extra amenities these families require to make their stay less stressful.
"When we started this fund 13 years ago, we didn't know where it would lead. We did know that some of these items aren't things you can can put on your Anthem Blue Cross card," said Dr. Glogau. "We've also paid for seeing Eye dogs, rents, tutors and life-saving medicine not covered by insurance. Thanks to UCSF's staff and nurses, the range of needs we've been able to provide is remarkable."

2010 saw the return of the Mustang Boss 302R at Daytona, and the unveiling of the 2012 Boss 302 production Mustang. And now, Ford Racing has announced the latest addition to its turn-key ready-to race-Mustangs - the Boss 302S.
Building on the race history of the Boss 302, Ford Racing is providing Mustang enthusiasts an affordable way to road-race with the introduction of the Mustang Boss 302S.
The limited production Boss 302S will be the third competition car in Ford Motor Company's history to be built at a Ford production facility and made available for racers to purchase through authorized Ford Racing dealers.
The Mustang FR500S was the first racecar built on a modern Ford production line, followed by the NHRA legal FR500CJ, aka. 'Cobra Jet.'
The 440hp Ford Mustang Boss 302S was developed by Ford Racing engineers, and will be built at the Auto Alliance International (AAI) assembly plant in Flat Rock, MI, the home of the Mustang.
The car is based on the street-legal 2012 Mustang Boss 302. The 302S is powered by a Boss 5.0-liter 4-valve Ti-VCT V-8 engine and includes a 6-speed transmission sourced directly from the Boss 302. Power is transferred to the rear via a T2 Torsen differential and 3.73:1 gears. The Boss 302S suspension features two-way adjustable coilover dampers and Ford Racing anti-roll bars front and rear.
The Boss 302S unibody starts as a Mustang body-in-white. To reduce weight, the factory seam sealer, sound deadener and interior panels are deleted prior to body build.
In addition to body reinforcement, a 6-point FIA-legal rollcage is installed for driver safety and chassis rigidity. The interior features a Recaro Hans Pro-Racer lightweight race seat, 6-point harness, quick-release steering wheel and AIM data acquisition system with GPS.
Boss 302S aerodynamic updates include a unique fiberglass heat-extracting hood, adjustable front splitter and adjustable carbon fiber rear wing.
A "retro" styled Boss 302 graphics package is included with each car and mimics the graphics from the original 1969 Boss 302 program.
Production is scheduled for the second quarter of 2011 and orders are now being taken by Ford Racing Performance Parts dealers by ordering part number FR500-B302S (performance white paint) or M-FR500-B302SO (orange paint).
The MSRP for the Boss 302S is $79,000.

(Spanish name, Progyluton) Composition: Valerate Estradiol 2 mg (11 white Pills), Valerate Estradiol 2 mg and Norgestrel 0,5 mg (10 light-brown Pills).
Cyclo-Progynova belongs to a group of medicines called hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Cyclo-Progynova contains two hormones called estradiol (an oestrogen) and norgestrel (a progestogen). These act in different ways in your body.
During the menopause (sometimes called "the change of life") a woman's body slowly produces less oestrogen. This may cause hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and dryness in the vagina.
Over a long time it may also cause a thinning of the bones, which may be more likely to then break (osteoporosis).
Cyclo-Progynova works by replacing the oestrogen you lose during the menopause and therefore
improves the unpleasant symptoms you may get. Oestrogen can also make the lining of your womb grow more than usual, which may lead to cancer developing there. The other hormone in Cyclo- Progynova called a progestogen reduces the chance of getting cancer of the womb.
•Treating symptoms of the menopause. This includes hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and dryness in the vagina •Preventing thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) in women who are not allowed to take other types of medicines to prevent this from happening.

momondo inks a deal for World Piece
61 strangers from across the globe are united by tattoos in &Co's powerful social campaign.
Remember that time when, after one too many Jägerbombs in Magaluf, you and your mate got matching tattoos to swear your everlasting friendship?
Well, travel search engine momondo and its agency, &Co, have gone one better with their latest campaign, The World Piece, and persuaded not two, but 61 strangers from around the globe to get inked with a massive connecting design in the name of unity.

A follow-up to 2016's award-winning The DNA Journey, which saw a group of people from different cultures and backgrounds question their notions of nationality after taking an ancestral DNA test, the new campaign film, directed by Smuggler's Joshua Neale, has gone viral on social media, sparking a global conversation around how we create more openness and tolerance in the world.
Below, we caught up with &Co's Creative Director Robert Cerkez and Senior Art Directors Cliff Kagawa and Silas Jansson, to get under the skin of the campaign.
What was the inspiration behind the campaign?
Cliff Kagawa: On the back of momondo's global study The Value of Traveling 2019: Opening our World, 49 per cent of people believe that the world is growing more intolerant and people are less accepting of other cultures than they were five years ago. There's a real sense of the world getting more divided. Us against them. We reduce our sense of belonging to even smaller tribes and our challenge was to reverse that - to create one big global tribe. So, it felt natural to try to bring the world closer together through a tattoo.
Silas Jansson: We wanted to show the world that there are people out there willing to go the extra mile, in order to prove that there are more things uniting us than dividing us. In order to do so, we needed the participants to feel a certain sincerity about this project – to put a little bit of sacrifice into it - and getting a uniting tattoo fitted that perfectly.
How much pressure was there to come up with another viral campaign, following the success of The DNA Journey?
Robert Cerkez: Not much really. People out there don't care. Except for advertising people. So, we always try to think of something new and fresh. This project took more than a year to realize - a project like this can't be driven by pressure. It must be passion.
There is so much goodwill out there in the world. All we have to do is give that a direction.
How did you go about selecting the individuals to take part?
RC: We wrote a manifesto that all participants had to read before entering the project. And then tell their own personal reasons for taking part - which was amazing and touching to hear. We got over 6,000 replies from all over the world. But due to practical reasons, we couldn't accept everyone, even if we wanted to. 61 people were chosen based on their personal stories and the regions they live in.
SJ: It was an incredibly comprehensive casting process. We wanted to obtain the biggest diversity in nationality, gender, and age so that we would show the widest range of humankind. We partnered with the world's leading tattoo-community, Tattoodo, to find applicants.
Tell us a bit about the design of the tattoos - were these agreed with people in advance? Did anyone get cold feet at the last minute?
RC: We got our inspiration from the stories we were sent. Mo Ganji, the tattoo artist, based all his work on these beautiful stories – and the full World Piece was strung together by each and every one of them. The designs got cleared in advance with each participant – and then they got tattooed locally.
These people arrived as strangers and left deeply connected – not only by the tattoo but by their common belief in humanity.
What was the most challenging aspect of the campaign?
SJ: There were over 6,000 people that signed up for this project. Each one of them brought their own personal story of why they wanted to be part of The World Piece. Reading these stories was an immensely emotional experience.
RC: The logistics and planning. There was so much that could have gone wrong. But all involved were so understanding of how gigantic this project was, so everyone worked really hard to make this a wonderful experience. It was an exhausting process, but the extraordinary pure energy from people all over the world coming together like this gave us energy in return. There is so much goodwill out there in the world. All we have to do is give that a direction.
And the most rewarding part?
RC: The message these people in The World Piece sent to the world. If we dare to connect, the world can't fall apart. It's so simple and powerful. These people who have never met each other share a passion and willingness to make the world a better place. And seeing people out in the world getting inspired by something bigger than religion, nationality and politics were quite rewarding as well.
SJ: Experiencing friendships and connections being made on the day were very touching. These people arrived as strangers and left deeply connected – not only by the tattoo but by their common belief in humanity. Knowing that the participants still talk and interact today and are willing to go on and spread this message to the world is hugely rewarding.

Hi everyone, I am SHiftt87 and I am the Community Ambassador for KTAM Radio. Perhaps you have heard that name before? We started 5 years ago when Defiance launched and thought the in game location could offer more opportunities for community involvement. You may not have seen us around publicly to often in recent years, we have never stopped playing and enjoying the game and the lore.
K-TAM Radio is a community of Gamers like you and we want to relaunch with 2050 with new commercials, hosted shows and stories created by the community.
My goal is to be a go between you and the greater K-TAM community which extends into various other games as you might tell by our in character themed fake commercials. If you would like to know more, let me know, if you would like to become part of our volunteer staff we would be interested in getting to know you.
Anything you want to know about K-TAM Radio and our Defiance Operations, let me know. I look forward to getting to know the new members of the Defiance community and the new Dev Team & Community Management team as well as reconnecting with those old Arc Hunters who will hopefully be making a return to give 2050 a chance.
I'm a streamer and one of the original voices on K-TAM and a Beta player. You can find me on Twitch where I play a variety of games and sometimes hear me on K-TAM. Feel free to add me as a friend and follow me. I'd be great to get to know you too.This is a fun game, I look forward to a more bug free experience and the new content in 2050. Let's Play.
If you would like to know how to tune in, click the link in my signature. K-TAM is 100% volunteer staffed and donation funded. Currently playing a lot of parodies and we will start adding other types of music as we get feed back from this and other communities. We try to keep our playlists relevant to our listeners with your feed back.
If any of the CM's would like to chat with me about K-TAM, hit me up. I look forward to working with you and maybe having you on for some live on air interviews in the near future.

"Everybody knows these disruption stories don't start with the strongest players," says Rich Lyons, dean of UC-Berkeley's Haas School of Business. Lyons believes that that half the business schools in the world could be out of business over the next 10 years. "What has always struck me is that the research at the AACSB (the primary accreditation agency for business schools), shows that there are 13,000 business programs in the world. Many of us play in the upper 1% of the market where there are only a little more than 100 MBA programs.If you sucked the part-time revenues out of the schools, they won't have a viable financial model. At the edges, programs that are offering more flexible formats are starting to pull people away (from full-time programs)."
While overall MBA applications have fallen at U.S. schools overall in the past three years, with more programs being run as loss leaders, there's been little to no disruption at the upper end of the MBA market. Of the Top 25 MBA programs in the U.S., for example, only five have experienced a decline in applications to their two-year, full-time programs (see table below). In two of the four, the dropoffs are inconsequential, less than 3% at Dartmouth College's Tuck School (2.6%) and Emory University's Goizueta School of Business (1.9%). The biggest fall—29.8%—at Cornell University's Johnson Graduate School can largely be attributed to upheaval in the recruitment and admissions office.
Application increases at many of the Top 25 programs suggest a flight to the highest quality and reaffirm the perceived value of the degree. At Yale University's School of Management, applications have climbed by 45.0% in the past three years to new records. At the University of Michigan's Ross School, apps are up 31.7% since 2013. At UNC's Kenan-Flagler Business School, they are up a healthy 44.0%. Applications to Harvard Business School are at near record levels, up 11.1% in the past three years.
Yet even among the most elite and highly selective MBA brands, there are some disturbing trends. Schools that have long been known as primary feeders to the world of finance, including Wharton and Columbia Business School, have seen their applications grow far more timidly in the past three years. Wharton is up a mere 3.0%, Booth 5.5%, Columbia and NYU Stern, both up 7.3%.
Schools that are funnels to the more dynamic part of the economy, the big tech firms and the startups, have done considerably better. In the past three years, for example, the University of Washington's Foster School in Seattle—home to Amazon, Microsoft and a thriving ecosystem of tech startups—has flourished. Foster applications are up a whopping 74.2%. Applications to the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business in Austin, another entrepreneurial hotbed of tech players, have jumped 47.9%. At Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business, full-time apps have risen by 29.9%, at MIT Sloan by 28.0%, at UC-Berkeley Haas by 20.7%, and at Stanford Graduate School of Business by 15.0%.
Those increases, moreover, have occurred at already highly competitive MBA programs with far more applicants per seat than is necessary. A likely outcome is that there will be less expensive, more flexible MBA options and fewer full-time, residential two-year programs. "A Porsche is a better car than a Kia but there is a reason why more Kias are sold," reasons Darden's Lenox. "A pure online degree is inferior to a residential degree but for many people it may not make a difference. They will go for the cheaper, less valuable experience. So there will be cheap and affordable MBA programs and there will be elite, branded MBAs"
At Iowa's Tippie College, meantime, the final class of full-time MBA students will graduate in May of 2019. By that time, don't be surprised to find quite a few more schools scrapping their MBA programs.

Finally, I can announce on the launch of a new feature, that was long being in the making. Paid blog posts. Why?! Because blog posts are one of the best ways to get a back link. They are natural looking links, embedded into relevant text, and if you choose correctly, within a blog that relates to your niche. If the blog is good, and the post, it is almost impossible for Google to differentiate a paid blog post from a natural (real) blog post. That makes it so appealing to SEO, that you just can't resist it.
We assimilated about 10,000 blogs, in multiple niches, that could serve you. All those blog post provide a do-follow link with an anchor text and target URL of your choice. Not only that, but you have all the blogs, come with the score for the blog from Majestic SEO, which includes Trust Flow and Citation Flow (scores for the reliability & popularity of the blog) , so it makes it easier to pick the right blogs. Then, you just need to pay, and we'll take care of the writing of the post and the communication/payment to the blog owner/admin. So, the entire process is easy and reliable. Good link building never been so easy!
Let's go over the steps for creating a paid blog posts order:

We present an analysis of Fourier-transform arrayed waveguide gratings in the Fresnel diffraction regime. We report a distinct spatial modulation of the interference pattern referred to as the Moiré-Talbot effect. The effect and its influence in a FT AWG device is explained by deriving an original analytical expression for the modulated field, and is also confirmed by numerical simulations using the angular spectrum method to solve the Fresnel diffraction integral. We illustrate the retrieval of spectral information in a waveguide Fourier-transform spectrometer in the presence of the Moiré-Talbot effect. The simulated device comprises two interleaved waveguide arrays each with 180 waveguides and the interference order of 40. It is designed with a Rayleigh spectral resolution of 0.1 nm and 8 nm bandwidth at wavelength λ~1.5 µm. We also demonstrate by numerical simulations that the spectrometer crosstalk is reduced from -20 dB to -40 dB by Gaussian apodization.

With the days ticking down before the official launch of Verizon's 4G LTE network, pricing plans and details have just been announced to the public. On December 5th when 4G LTE goes live, it will be available in 38 markets, with an additional 60 airport locations available as well, for an estimated combined coverage area of around 110 milion people this year alone. Verizon CEO Lowell McAdams has said plans are in place to double that coverage in 2012, and to cover the existing 3G area with 4G LTE by the end of 2013. Below is the coverage map where 4G LTE will be available at launch.
As for that pricing, at launch two USB modems will be available for purchase costing $99 after a $50 rebate and two-year contract as always. Customers will then have the option of two different data plans, $50 for 5 GB, or $80 for 10 GB. Any data used over your plan will result in $10 overages per gigabyte. The 4G LTE (Long Term Evolution) network is said to provide speeds 10 times faster compared to 3G speeds, so depending on your individual needs, the price may well be worth the ability the network will offer. As for handset devices running on the 4G network, Verizon does have plans to introduce something early next year. For more information, you can head over to Verizon's official 4G LTE page to learn more about it, and be sure to check out the promo video for 4G in Boston below.

How does AI affect dynamic retail pricing? | ITProPortal
Let's look at the ways that AI and machine learning affect dynamic pricing in the retail industry and how this model differs from personalised pricing.
Today's consumers will be familiar with Uber's 'surge' pricing at rush hour, increased electricity costs during peak usage periods or fluctuations in hotel room rates over the Christmas or summer season.
This model of variable or 'dynamic' pricing, in which a business alters its prices according to market conditions, is nothing new. It has played a role in consumer-facing sectors for decades – mainly in the airline industry – and is based on simple principles of supply and demand. However, the internet, and the subsequent growth of e-commerce, has propelled it into mainstream use.
Dynamic pricing is particularly crucial for the retail industry. Online shopping has brought about wider product ranges and uplift in market competition, with prices now available for comparison and scrutiny 24/7. Pre-internet, retailers may have only needed to account for the prices of one or two competitors in a 10-mile radius and across a handful of products. But e-commerce has changed everything.
Businesses now need to consider over 60,000 daily marketing and pricing decisions. Large retailers such as Amazon, for example, change their prices as often as every 10 minutes – making it far more complex and time-consuming to keep up. Indeed, our recent research found that UK retailers lose 246,000 working days every week trying to do so.
AI-powered systems can combat this by automating dynamic pricing strategies. Automation helps retailers to maintain margins and avoid a damaging 'race to the bottom,' thus providing a powerful way to combat the current, challenging retail climate.
Dynamic pricing is often confused with personalised pricing, something which has recently sparked a government inquiry. However, intelligent algorithms make it possible to price elastically, based on product, rather than customer data.
With this in mind, let's look at the ways that AI and machine learning affect dynamic pricing in the retail industry and how this model differs from personalised pricing.

TO READERS of a certain age, you'll agree that if it's Christmas it must be time for the Andy Williams Christmas Spectacular.
For so long the American entertainer (and his knitwear!) was synonymous with the festive season. Now he's sadly no longer with us, The Osmonds have taken over his mantle.
Jimmy, Jay and Merill Osmond – who all appeared on Andy's TV show and were good friends of his – will bring the Andy Williams Christmas Spectacular to Guildford's G Live this Wednesday.
"Whenever an artist passes away, there's a huge demand for their material," explains Jimmy Osmond, still best remembered in the UK for his 1972 Number One hit Long Haired Lover From Liverpool.
"We've found there's a real thirst and craving to see a traditional style Christmas show, like Andy presented. He taught us how to do that and I think my brothers are the right people to keep that tradition going and keep his legacy alive."
The Osmonds were regulars on Andy's TV show; Jimmy first appeared aged three.
"Of course, I remember being on the show," he says. "I was the one doing the skits with Cookie Bear. It was live TV in those days and you remember those pressure moments! Sometimes I can't tell if it's a real memory or memories I've got from watching videos about The Osmonds; our lives are so well documented."
Jimmy and his brothers remained friends with the Moon River singer, he explains: "Andy was a close friend and also my neighbour when we lived in Branson [Missouri]. He went there first and encouraged me to come to town and build my Osmond Family Theatre. I'm honoured and humbled that I now own his beautiful Moon River Theatre."
The Andy Williams Christmas Spectacular will include seasonal classics like Silent Night, Last Christmas, Merry Christmas
Everybody and Sleighride, as well as Osmonds hits like Love Me for a Reason, Crazy Horses, Down By The Lazy River and more.
Jimmy says his personal favourite is It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year, adding: "We sang it with Andy and everywhere you go at Christmas: airports, shopping malls, it's being played, it's such an iconic song."
The Osmonds will finish the tour before Christmas and head home for the celebrations.
The Andy Williams Christmas Spectacular starring The Osmonds will be at G Live in Guildford on Wednesday, December 9.
