It's ironic how a wrong can right another wrong, especially while selling online. It is easy to source inventory through liquidation stock. You can earn large profits if you buy cautiously.
So, if you are going to sell liquidation stock on Amazon, you might as well buy the much-in-demand product. At times it does happen that goods show up without a closeout dealers and it wouldn't sell.
1. Avoid picking up such goods listed below for selling under "New" tag.
- Biennial goods
- Stocks closing or liquidation
- Out-Of-Date products superseded by distinct products
- Dealing with returns post-holidays (not warranty or defect returns)
You can find great deals on merchandise through, otherwise known as "Liquidators." You can find liquidation stock on both brand new and the overstock from Wholesalers.
It also depends on how and when you want to liquidate merchandise. It works best against counterfeit products.
Amazon liquidation stock is one way to source inventory. Knowing your buying behavior is the second best thing that comes out of this. However as sellers, what matters is how you sell this and what to keep in mind while selling these items.
Another factor that plays a crucial role here is to group your inventory into different batches. If you are selling the products across multiple channels, it is always better to implement a multi-channel inventory management software.
2. Avoid falling prey to counterfeit products
Fake products have taken online sale by storm. Amazon too has faced quite a backlash for counterfeit goods sold under brand names. With such vast marketplace, it may happen that sellers sell under newly launched products or a brand name and your customer might get it fake one or does not get it all.
Hence you have to be on a constant lookout that you do not end up buying from such dealers who sell counterfeit goods.
Manufacturers are likely to get rid of merchandise that has been returned from their customer for whatsoever reasons. Maybe a fraudulent product, damaged goods, etc. Usually, liquidators do not bother from where the goods come as long as they are insured and sealed and in good condition
3.Inspect your Goods before selling it Online
Before selling any liquidations stock on Amazon as a brand new make sure of the followings things
- Is the product authentic?
- How is the packaging, pristine and the product condition?
- When was the product released
- Does it have a warranty claim to offer?
- But, most importantly. Is the product discontinued? If so, is the replaced item larger, faster and cheaper?
You need to ponder upon several issues before selling the liquidation stock on Amazon. Why was the product dumped? Where does it stand regarding its competitive products and how it ranked. Before selling any such liquidated stock, it is important to do your homework accurately.
For instance, if you were to sell any item that is low on reviews or say rejected by all the main retailer, you need to research well on the kind of product it is. If it's an electronic equipment sealed, sell it on 20-25% less under "Brand New" label and within no time you'll have it sold.
But if you hadn't done your homework well, you could have tons of returns and unhappy buyers which you don't need at this point. Instead, you make a modest profit.
4. Stick to Pricing and Listing.
Mostly the product is immediately shipped to Amazon FBA and liquidator never see the product on hand. Interest for liquidation stock is high to the point that numerous vendors can't purchase at a value which enables them to make an expert showing with regards.
The issue with exchanged stock is that you don't have the foggiest idea about its history. It's all there because it had an issue. Knockoffs, returns, missing parts, awful guarantees, and so forth.
It is composed off by retailers and makers and dumped out the indirect access. Manufacturers often would want to get rid of such inventory by any means.
For buying at a cheaper rate and selling at higher, if you get caught up in whirlpools of fake products or underpricing/overpricing your accounts get suspended and its tough to retrieve again.
It not only takes a toll on business but also at the established trust between your customers.
Final Thoughts:
Usually, sourcing goods through a traditional wholesaler or distributor, you pick out the products you want to sell, buying by item in case pack quantities. It isn't same with liquidated goods.
While purchasing a pallet or a truckload of a store excess, you'll often buy an indefinite hotchpotch of stock. Some pallets and trucks come with a patent but not necessarily with precise conditions of items.
This does sound crushing and working with liquidation goods can be such. However, don't let this discourage you from sourcing within the secondary market- if done right it can turn out to be highly profitable.
The best is to take your own time and research on what merchandise you want to purchase. Go for less hazardous products. Start with favorite products and small ones.

National Primate Research Center
Annual Progress Report 2003-2004
The Tulane National Primate Research Center competes
with the Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research for the dubious
"honor" of imprisoning the largest monkey population among
the eight National Institutes of Health's Regional Primate Research
Centers. Tulane has over 4,500 monkeys of eleven species. Rhesus
macaques form the overwhelming majority with at least 3,500 on hand.
A drive through the facility offers a rare glimpse of caged research
monkeys with only a hedge and a barbed-wire fence separating acres
of pens from the road.
In mid October of 1998, two dozen rhesus monkeys escaped from cages
in this outdoor area. Tulane officials were quick to assert that
the monkeys were not infected with any disease and posed no risk
to the public. But consider the Blanchard report below. At least
70% of the TRPRC's monkeys are infected with herpes-B, a disease
fatal to humans. This disease has been used as a club against macaques
for some time. In Wisconsin, primate center officials used the high
incidence figures (common in all captive macaque colonies subjected
to regular high stress) to argue that the macaques at the county
zoo were a grave risk to the public's health and could not be safely
maintained on public display. More recently when rhesus monkeys
escaped from an island in Florida, Kirk Boehm, a Wisconsin primate
center minor official, once again publicly asserted that macaques
pose a risk to the public. The NIH RPRC officials want it both ways.
When the public is worried, the monkeys pose no risk; when the public
is concerned for the monkeys' well-being, the monkeys are too dangerous
to have around. This is the mentality and logic consuming our limited
tax dollars and subjecting thousands of monkeys annually to grievous
of the the
experiments being funded by the National Institutes of Health conducted
at the TNPRC are listed below. Most researchers (e-mail addresses
provided) are conducting many studies at any one time.
As with other very large primate experimentation sites, it is impossible
to keep completely up to date on all the experiments taking place.
This snapshot was compiled at the beginning of 2002.
BAGBY, GREGORY J. "Ethanol suppression of this response
was similar in cells from both control and SIV-infected animals.
These results suggest that alcohol might cause a further impairment
of host defense in SIV-infected animals and result in an earlier
and/or increased incidence of opportunistic infections in these
animals....The close similarities between HIV disease in people
and SIV infection in rhesus monkeys, together with out initial findings,
demonstrate the appropriateness of the rhesus monkey SIV model for
the study of the potential impact of alcohol on HIV/AIDS."
If the "close similarities between HIV disease in people and
SIV infection in rhesus monkeys" had really been demonstrated
or were menaingful, the tens of thousands of monkeys killed from
experimental SIV infection would have led to some benefit to humans
with HIV by now, but it hasn't. Bagby's initial findings are meaningless,
as is demonstrated by the relative dearth of other researchers around
the country using the same model.
BASKIN, GARY B. (a senior veterinarian) <email@example.com>
writes: "The objectives of this grant are to maintain and propagate
a colony of rhesus monkeys that are carriers of globoid cell leukodystrophy
(GLD) and to characterize GLD as it occurs in homozygous affected
individuals. The long-term goal of this project is to develop a
nonhuman primate animal model for gene therapy of inborn errors
of metabolism. This colony of rhesus monkeys is the only colony
of nonhuman primates in the world in which an inherited lysosomal
disorder has been recognized, propagated, and is available for study.
No other nonhuman primate model is available in which to test the
actual clinical effectiveness of various therapeutic interventions
in animals with a genetic disease." Baskin has explained, "An
infant rhesus monkey with this disease was diagnosed at TRPRC in
1989. Since then, we intentionally inbred this group of animals
and in 1996 observed two additional affected infants."
GLD is also called Krabbe's disease. Baskin studiously fails to
mention that the disease is well-known in West Highland White Terriers
and Cairn Terriers. We wonder whether he believes monkeys are good
models of dog diseases.
GLD is a rare disease in humans. Baskin also fails to mention that
human clinical studies are underway. Clearly, studying and trying
to cure humans with the disease is much more likely to lead to a
cure for humans than trying to create and study the disease in an
alien species. Baskin also fails to mention the suffering that his
breeding scheme will create. Symtoms may include loss of previously
attained developmental skills, fevers, irritability, myoclonic seizures
(sudden shock-like contractions of the limbs), blindness, spasticity
(stiffness of the limbs), and paralysis. Prolonged weight loss may
occur also. Onset of the disorder in humans is generally between
3 and 6 months of age.
BEILKE, MARK A. <firstname.lastname@example.com>
or <email@example.com>
"This collaborative project established an animal model of
HTLV-I associated disease in nonhuman primates with a primary HTLV-I
viral isolate, derived from a human patient with HTLV-I associated
tropical spastic paraparesis (TSP). Two of three inoculated rhesus
macaques became infected and showed signs of disease. One animal
presented with a findings identical to that in the original patient,
with muscle atrophy, polymyositis, and arthritis, (manuscript published).
The second animal was dually infected with SIV and developed signs
suggestive of smoldering HTLV-I induced leukemia in the presence
of SIV immunodeficiency disease. Four of five additional HTLV-I
inoculated animals are asymptomatic but show evidence of persistent
infection by HTLV-I PCR and increased lymphocytosis. The fifth animal
is culture and PCR negative with an associated strong humoral response,
as determined by western blot analysis."
BLANCHARD, JAMES L. (Executive Director) <email@example.com>
"The single specific aim of this application is to establish
a colony of Indian rhesus monkeys, free of Simian Immunodeficiency
Virus (SIV), simian retrovirus (SRV), herpes b virus, and simian
t-lymphotrophic virus (STLV 1). This will be accomplished by recruitment
of 100 specific pathogen free (SPF) female rhesus monkeys and 15
SPF males in the first year. An additional 50 SPF females and 10
males will be added to the founding colony in each of the subsequent
4 years. We project that by the end of the grant period the colony
will have 625 animals."
RUDOLF P BOHM, JR <email@example.com>
"This study is a continuation of previously reported work
to develop a rhesus monkey model of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
(PCP). This model will be important to study the pathogenesis and
novel drug compounds that may be used to treat PCP. Four rhesus
monkeys were chosen for this pilot study. Three animals received
alternate day dosing of prednisone and cyclophosphamide to induce
immunosuppression. The fourth animal was used as a non-immunosuppressed
control. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed one week prior
to immunosuppression and weekly thereafter. All four animals were
inoculated via a bronchoscope with a homogenate from P. carinii
frozen lung tissue derived from three SIV infected animals."
COGSWELL, FRANK B. <email@example.com>
"Cerebral malaria, a syndrome found in patients infected with
Plasmodium falciparum, kills an estimated 2 million children a year.
The lack of an animal model has been a barrier to research into
supportive therapies and treatment."
Frank is profoundly ignorant of the problems associated with health
care in the developing world where malaria is common. In these regions,
most who contract malaria receive no treatment whatsoever.
His claim that the rate of death among children is linked to "the
lack of an animal model" is indicative of life in a very lofty
ivory tower.
Cogswell continues: "We are developing a model of this condition
in rhesus monkeys inoculated with P. knowlesi, a simian malaria
parasite....We have now selected a population of parasites that
consistently adhere to brain endothelium and we will next put these
parasites back into a rhesus monkey to produce cerebral malaria.
Once this sydrome has been seen in the experimental animals, we
will be able to test treatments and supportive therapies that can
be taken to endemic areas for use in children afflicted with this
Hey Frank, the children in these areas don't have access to the
simplest theraputics, like aspirin or clean water. Why not start
with the known treatments and cures before trying to invent more
therapies that the kids won't get? Does it have anything to do with
CUSICK, CATHERINE G. <email@example.com>
"The long term goal of this research is to understand the neural
substrates of certain forms of complex visual behavior and other
higher cortical functions. To this end, the proposed studies will
examine the functional organization of the superior temporal polysensory
area (STP) in the superior temporal sulcus (STS) of the rhesus monkey."
Cusick plans to place electrodes in the monkeys' brains, shock them
to see what happens to their eyes, then inject chemicals into their
brains and try to figure out how their brain controls their eyes.
DAVISON, BILLIE B. <email@example.com>
"In studies at TRPRC utilizing simian immunodeficiency virus
(SIV)-infected pregnant macaques, chorioamnionitis (CA) [Infection,
of the chorionic and amniotic membranes caused by bacteria.] and/or
increased inflammatory infiltrates within placental tissues was
associated with increased SIV antigen within placental tissues,
early fetal demise, and SIV transmission to the infant. During year
one (1998-99), this project will develop a primate model of chorioamnionitis
by introducing 2 different species and 4 doses of bacteria into
the choriodecidual space during pregnancy. During years 2-5, CA
will be induced in a group of SIV-infected monkeys and the transmission
outcome in this group will be compared to a group of monkeys infected
with SIV alone to directly test the hypothesis that increases in
inflammatory cell infiltrates within placental tissues increase
the rate of transmission of immunodeficiency virus from mother to
Besides being simply cruel, Davison appears to be just simple.
SIV (simian immunovirus), like HIV, is a disease that damages the
immune system. Chorioamnionitis is a bacterial infection. If a bacterial
infection has become established, the victim's immune system must
be compromised. It can be no surprise that when ill, it is easier
to become even more sick when exposed to another pathogen or that,
when additionally infected, that the immune system will be further
incapacitated. And, his hypothesis is meaningless as well. Few HIV-positive
pregnant women can forsee, and thus prevent, acquiring a bacterial
infection of the amniotic sack.
In another publicly-funded study, this time of malaria's impact
on babies, Davison claims, "The information derived from these
studies will allow [not might allow, or could allow, but will
allow] effective interventions to be designed which will prevent
[there's that certainty again] the devastating effects of malaria
in pregnant women and their children." Obviously, Davison believes
he can see into the future. In this series of monstrous experiments,
Davison will: "[D]etermine the effects of parity and prior
exposure to Plasmodium [the malaria causing organism] on the course,
severity, and outcome of clinical malaria in the mother, fetus,
and newborn and to test the hypothesis that macrophage-induced cytokine
imbalance causes morphologic and physiologic placental lesions that
result in fetal damage, post-natal failure to thrive, and congenital
DIDIER, ELIZABETH S. <email@example.com>
"Microsporidia cause opportunistic infections in persons with
AIDS, organ transplant recipients, children, and travelers. Enterocytozoon
bieneusi is the most prevalent microsporidian but attempts to establish
a tissue culture system for generating organisms has been unsuccessful.
The only nonhuman hosts known for E. bieneusi include pigs and nonhuman
primates (eg. Macaca mulatta). Ten SIV-infected rhesus macaques
were inoculated orally with E. bieneusi harvested from the stool
and duodenal lavage aspirates of human AIDS patients. Spores were
detected in stools one week later and continued sporadically for
approximately two years or until death of the monkeys, but the inconsistency
of spore shedding presently renders this model inadequate for testing
antimicrosporidial compounds. However, the monkeys did become infected
with E. bieneusi and parasite-associated lesions were identified
in the gall bladder, liver, and small intestine. Attempts to infect
small animals (eg. gerbils, at hymic mice, immunesuppressed mice)
with E. bieneusi also have failed to date."
DIDIER, PETER J. (a veterinarian) <firstname.lastname@example.com>
"The objectives of this pilot project are to establish the
source of Mycobacterium avium infection in SIV-infected monkeys,
characterize immune correlates of disease, and determine the feasibility
of vaccination to prevent opportunistic infection of SAIDS animals
with M. avium. The incidence of M. avium infection (MAI) in the
SAIDS colony has increased from undetectable levels in 1988 to 18-25%
in recent years....We have demonstrated that animals infected with
SIV and severely immunodeficient can be infected with our pathogenic
strain (MavK128) while inoculation with a human strain of M. avium
(Serovar 4) fails to infect immunodeficient monkeys."
In another study, Peter Didier says: "The objectives of this
pilot project are to evaluate changes in ovarian morphology, serum
estrogen, bone density, and DNA deletions over time in female rhesus
monkeys. Preliminary results indicate that bone strength from young
monkeys 3-5 years of age and aged monkeys 22-25 years is different
and that breaking strength of femurs decreases substantially with
HARRISON, RICHARD M. <firstname.lastname@example.com>
"This is a continuation of services to other investigators
to provide pregnancies of known gestational ages and to provide
synchronized menstrual cycles in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).
For timed breeding, the monkeys? cycles are controlled by the daily
injection of progesterone (5 mg/day) for10 days. Females are paired
with males on days 14 to 21 after the last progesterone injection.
Ovulation and conception occurs on day 16 to 18 after the progesterone
injections. Success rate, based on viable fetus at 21 days gestation,
remains at 60% to 70% for first cycle matings. Fetal development
is monitored using ultrasonography. For synchronization of menstrual
cycles monkeys are examined twice daily to detect menses. On the
16th days of the cycle daily progesterone injections begin. Injections
are continued until all the monkeys to be synchronized have received
a minimum of 10 injections. At that point all injections cease.
Menses occurs on day 1 or 2 following the last progesterone inj
ection. If the investigator wishes to treat the monkeys in the luteal
stage of the cycle, progesterone injections can begin again on day
16 - 18 and the monkeys can be maintained in a luteal stage for
the study."
Few women and few infants (assuming that the monkeys are intended
to be models of humans) will be exposed to such a chemical bath.
Such unnatural conditions are likely to confound any experimental
data and thus render any conclusions meaningless.
In another project, Harrison writes: "Reports in the literature
suggest that soy-based [infant] formulas may be associated with
an increased incidence of goiter and thyroid disease." But,
in an experiment that could seem logical only to primate vivisectors
and to those who fund them, Harrison placed monkeys in two equal
groups. "The experimental group received 8mg/kg body weight
of genistein [a chemical found in soy believed to offer protection
from some forms of cancer] each Monday through Friday. Dosing continued
until day 155 of gestation, at which time a Cesarean section was
performed to collect the fetus and placenta. Blood was collected
from the maternal peripheral circulation twice weekly during the
study period. At delivery blood was collected from the maternal
peripheral circulation, the uterine veins, the ovarian veins, and
the fetal heart." He discovered more genistein in the blood
of the fetuses of mothers who had been given the genistein!
LACKNER, ANDREW A. <email@example.com>
is continuing to study the monkeys he is killing with SIV.
LEVY, LAURA S. <email@example.com>
"Since 1984, over 1200 necropsies on SIV-infected rhesus and
cynomolgus monkeys have been performed at the TRPRC. Lymphoid malignancies
[cancer] were detected in a proportion of SIV-infected animals."
She seems hopeful of producing more of these cancer infected monkeys.
writes: "Regions where HIV infection is prominent frequently
overlap malaria endemic regions. However, the impact of coinfection
with HIV and malaria is not clear." What is abundantly clear,
however, is that in regions of the world where HIV is prominent,
almost no medical care is available. Those with HIV in these areas,
such as central Africa, will receive no benefit from martin's work.
It is doubtful whether anyone will other than Martin and those who
are funded through his grant.
Martin writes: "We inoculated a monkey with Plasmodium knowlesi.
57 days after SIV inoculation, a time when the SIV infection had
already caused a decrease in the percentage of CD4+ cells. Maximum
parasitemia (11.6%) occurred 9 days after malaria inoculation and
was treated by chloroquine. After treatment the hematocrit recovered
steadily through day 26, when malaria re-emerged and a single chloroquine
treatment was given. The parasitemia and accompanying decrease in
hematocrit rapidly resolved. Malaria re-emerged on day 46 and was
again treated. After this third recrudescence and treatment, the
parasite did not reappear, so the monkey was reinoculated with malaria.
Nine days later the parasite was detected but did not require treatment,
remaining a chronic low level infestation. The coinfection with
malaria did not affect the progress of SIV infection. The percentage
of cells expressing CD4, CD8, CD2, or CD20 did not differ in the
malaria-infected monkey compared to other monkeys inoculated with
SIV at the same time. No conclusions can be drawn based on 1 monkey,
but the feasibility of the SIV/malaria coinfection has been demonstrated.
An additional SIV-infected monkey was recently inoculated with malaria
327 days after SIV, a point when the percentage of CD4+ cells had
declined markedly. A naive control monkey was inoculated at the
same time. It will be interesting to see if the SIV-infected monkey
inoculated with malaria at a much later stage of SIV infection will
still be able to contain the parasite after 3 treatments, and to
see if the ability to control the parasite differs in the control
monkey. FUNDING NIH-N01-AI-65310 PUBLICATIONS NONE."
MARX, PRESTON A. <firstname.lastname@example.com>
"We ... propose to examine several of the issues concerning
sexual transmission in a rhesus macaque model using both SIV and
SHIV chimeric viruses. Specifically, we will attempt to define the
identity of the first cell(s) infected by SIV in the vaginal and
cervical mucosa of macaques....we will also track the kinetics and
the pathway of SIV spread from the genital mucosa to the draining
(internal iliac) lymph nodes before systemic dissemination. In addition,
we will perform a series of experiments to examine directly the
issue of selective transmission. Mixtures of SIV variants with known
differences in their biological phenotypes will be inoculated both
mucosally and intravenously into macaques to determine whether virus
with a particular biological prop erty (e.g., macrophage-tropism)
will be preferentially selected in animals inoculated mucosally.
Similar experiments will also be performed using mixtures of SHIV
chimeric viruses...."

Sometimes, the abstracts found at the CRISP site are written by
persons other than those doing the experiments. Such is the case
here. It is clear that whomever wrote the abstract is enamored with
Dr. Philipp: "Abstract: DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's
abstract): This project, presented by an outstanding group of investigators
that includes Drs. M. T. Philipp as P.I. and M. S. Klempner, is
designed to complement and expand a human study already in course
directed to probe the efficacy of an antibiotic regimen designed
to treat chronic Lyme disease." Thirty monkeys will be killed
altogether in this study. It remains to be seen: If the study is
underway in humans, why use monkeys? If the therapy is successful
in humans, why kill monkeys?

"A large RSV vaccine study using a Praxis Biologics, formalin-inactivated
(FI) RSV vaccine was conducted. Twenty-one seronegative rhesus were
divided into seven groups of three monkeys each. Four groups (Gp)
received IM injections of the FI-RSV vaccine, ranging from high
(250ul) to low (50ul of a 1:25 dilution), in five-fold dilutions,
while Gp 5 received the Praxis prepared FI-sham vaccine. An independently
prepared, Prince FI-RSV vaccine was used to inoculate Gp6, IM. Finally,
Gp 7 was intranasally infected with live RSV. Twenty-one days later,
a booster vaccine was administered to the first six groups. Finally,
on day 56 post inoculation, a live RSV challenge was administered
to all 21 animals....On day 8 post challenge, the animals were necropsied.

"The objective of this proposal is to carefully define developmental
changes in the immunophenotypic composition and function of the
systemic and mucosal immune system from neonate to adult in normal
and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV)-infected macaques. In this
model, SIV serves as a useful tool to determine which differences
between the immature and mature immune system are responsible for
the increased susceptibility to SIV."
In other words, Ron infects baby monkeys with SIV and then takes
notes as he watches them die.
WHELTON, PAUL K. <email@example.com>
explains the overall vivisection program at the facility: "The
score (sic) of the research projects, although primarily
in the area of infectious diseases, covers a range of biomedical
disciplines. The proposed AIDS research will include studies of
vaccines, the interaction of the IDS virus with other infectious
agents, the pathogenesis of disease in the monkey including the
transfer of virus form the mother to the fetus, the role of alcohol
in the infectious process, and the role of the mucosal immune response.
Gene therapy studies will test strategies for correcting globoid
cell leukodystrophy, hemophilia B, cystic fibrosis, liver disease,
and as a treatment for AIDS. Other infectious disease research will
be done on Lyme borreliosis (antibiotic treatment and autoimmunity),
malaria (severe cerebral disease and disease during pregnancy)<
lymphatic filariasis, and pyelonephritis in diabetics. Other, non-infectious
disease research projects will be done on neuropeptides, aging,
opioids, and vascular injury with balloon catheters. In addition
to the research junction of the Center, this grant will support
breeding colonies of macaques. It will also provide support for
this Center to serve as a resource for investigators from other
institutions who have need to conduct research in non-human primates."

Chin Implant or ChinPlant?
American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) President Malcolm Z. Roth, MD commented that:
"The chin and jawline are among the first areas to show signs of aging. People are considering chin augmentation as a way to restore their youthful look just like a facelift or eyelid surgery … We also know that as more people see themselves on video chat technology, they may notice that their jawline is not as sharp as they want it to be. Chin implants can make a dramatic difference."
Surgical Issues
Actual implants require surgery and don't come without possible problems like shifting, visibility and post-implant infections. But they are permanent and you can be asleep while they're placed beneath the skin.
Why not "try one on"?
Even if you think you really want a chin implant, a simple "try on" with an injectable product (either temporary like Perlane – or long term like Radiesse or new Voluma) can be a good way to see if you like that new look. And also a great way to gauge just how prominent you want your new chin to be.
Instantly strengthen the jawline
An injectable "chinplant" can't correct a severe receding chin, but most certainly can strengthen the jawline and minimize the visual impact of excess or loose skin in the neck.
Radiesse, Perlane or Voluma can be injected with smooth tip cannulas for painfree treatment with no bruising.

In all situations, act in the best interests of our customer, even if it's to our own short-term detriment. You're empowered to do what's necessary, so create extraordinary experiences they'll tell others about. Amaze our customers, and create customer loyalty by doing the unexpected.
What does legendary service mean and why is it important to Field? The most appropriate definition of the word "legendary" I found is "remarkable enough to be famous; very well known". We need to strive to deliver this level of service to our customer's and we need to understand that our internal customers are as important as our external customers. Providing legendary service is one of the best ways to ensure that our customers "Love us", our mission as a company. Another important aspect of this Fieldamental is to focus on the long term aspects of our relationships with customers. There are times when we need to make decisions that could have a negative short term impact on Field but provide the best long term solution for the customer. This could be agreeing to pay expedited freight, shipping replacement parts, coming in early or staying late and many other examples. Field team members are empowered to make these decisions! We share our vision, plans, and progress so the entire Field Team knows what we are striving for. The team members at Field are in the best position to make the daily decisions that support our long terms plans, even if there is a short term, negative impact on Field. Providing legendary service does not come easy, and sometimes has a cost to deliver.
The last component of this Fieldamental refers to doing the unexpected to amaze customers. I think this is really the key to being viewed as being different. How can we anticipate what the customer would really like? What can we do to proactively prevent something from going wrong? What can we give to our customers before they ask us for it?
When we deliver legendary service to our customers, we create a vivid image and "story" of what it is like to be a Field customer. Our goal is for our customers to share this "story" of the legendary service we've provided them. Sometimes the best opportunity to provide legendary service is when things don't go as planned or we are dealing with a real problem. This is the time to "pull out all the stops", do whatever is necessary to make things right. Find a way to take care of the customer. The true test of the character of a person, or an organization, is what happens when there is a problem or set back.

Month: September 2016
20/30/40m trapped end fed. Nice!
Because of the purchase of the MTR-3B, the ultimate portable HF radio, I decide to make the lighter station as possible.
So, I have the MTR-3B, the Pico Palm Paddle, a small pack of NiMH batteries. I miss a friendly antenna that could transported in a small bag.
The trapped dipole and a light phishing pole were the solution !
After a few activations with this set I wonder if I could make it simpler.
The dipole needs to be in rolls to transport, so, why not a light "one-roll" antenna ?
Why not an EFHW ???
I don't want use an ATU. So, it should be ressonant.
Based on a 1:8 Unun (offer of CT1DTE) I decided to try it.
On the sunny afternoon of sunday, Sept 18, at my brother-in-law home (wonderful place near river Vouga, Aveiro), I installed the pole and the wow factor started to appear…
The trapped EFHW work flawless and the bandwith is great.
As usual, I used Sotabeams pico traps. They're great! 🙂
And light (5 gr) and small:
I started with the 20m band wire. I made it long…
After trimming, the length is 9.9 m including the turns for the banana jack (unun side) and turns for tie and solder (pico trap side).
The SWR, measured on the antenna analyser of my friend CT7ABE, is the following:
Great start! 🙂
Then I installed the 30 m band pico trap. After soldering it to the 20 m band wire, i started triming. Always make it longer….
I notice something interesting, that I noticed as well when I builded the trapped dipole. The measure in the 20 m band doesn't change. This is good because it's much simpler to build such antenna.
So, after trimimg, the wire length is 3.4 m, including the turns for tie and solder (pico trap side). The SWR is:
So far so good! SWR stable in both bands. So let's solder the 30 m band pico trap.
Again, I noticed the measure in the 20 m and 30 m band doesn't change.
Good job Sotabeams! 🙂
So, after trimimg, the 40 m band wire length is 5.1 m, including the turns for tie and solder (pico trap side) and a small loop to attach the antenna to a rope.
After trimming the 40 m band wire, the SWR is:
I double checked the SWR, just in case, but everything is ok. 🙂
So, I connect the Elecraft KX-3's BNC to the RG-174 and we are on the air. Some QSO were made with good signal report.
I even tried to tune the KX-3 on other bands, with the help of the internal ATU. Success!
It's nice for the MTR-3b but it can be used with other rigs and frequencies, if an atu is avaiable.
The final dimensions of the end fed half wave (in 3 bands) is :
2 photos of the testing of the actual antenna
To tie the wire to the pico traps I used heat shrink sleeving.
This is more than enough to have a loop in the trap side and do not stress the trap's PCB.
The wire is also from Sotabeams (yellow hi-viz).
Unun 1:8
Like the one of PA3HHO or the one of N4SPP but made by CT1DTE, Luis Valadas.
The end fed halfwave connects mechanicaly to the UNUN as follow:
Phising pole
6m pole. Only 5 m usable (top section to thin).
From Decathlon, Pole 600 Carpelan
Nice, cheap and durable.
8 m of good quality RG-174U.
BNC's from Amphenol.
It seems that my portable portable SOTA station is lighter and more and more transportable, below 1 kg! 🙂
Big thank you to CT7ABE and CT1DTE.
CT-BA-009 – Nice views and weather
CT/BA-007 – 360º view !
dB or not dB? Everything you ever wanted to know about decibels but were afraid to ask…

Batteries ? Learning from the amateur radio operator that have the experience…
Today I'm looking surfing net and this excellent article called my attention.

Well done, James! 🙂
A friendly SOTA place with excellent landscape! CT/BL-008, Serra da Boa Viagem
31AGO2016 PM – Photos by mrs DBS
Taking advantage of some time to spare due to a hospital treatment of a family member, we cross the forest of Serra da Boa Viagem under a nice shining sun.
This is a drive on summit with a large AZ.
So, I chose the viewpoint to install the shack and make a quick activation.
After morning experience, I started in the 20m/cw, at 1412z.
10 min after I had 7 QSO.
Because any delay would be very annoying to the family member that was receiving treatment in the hospital, I changed to 2 m/cw where I've done a quick QSO with CT7AGT.
Knowing that EA/CT2GSN/p would be in an EA summit I listened 7.190/ssb. Nothing but QRN/QRM
For the final I called 2m/ssb – CT2IUV could be listening in any summit – but no answer.
So, at 1430z I run away from viewpoint, which was packed with people and very hot.
And nobody asked what I'm doing in such place using a fish rod….

Did you know that Albany became a hospital during World War 1?
Some year 6 pupils have been working to explore a range of photographs and a floor plan of the school from 1914 as part of the commemorations of then start of World War 1. The BBC have also visited the school and interviewed some pupils as part of their War at home project. The children have really enjoyed learning about the history and we are looking to develop a learning project for our pupils to learn about this history each year in the upper juniors. We are also working with Roathcardiff.net website to develop a community wide project.

Hello, and welcome to my classroom! My name is Rachel Stull, and I have had the priviledge of teaching English at Millsap ISD for the past 8 years. I graduated from Tarleton State University in 2008, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in English. I feel like I was born to be a secondary teacher, and I absolutely love working with teenagers. I have a wonderful husband, Patrick, one son, Ryder, and another baby girl on the way! In fact, most of my free time, which isn't a lot, is spent hanging out with my son and my husband, but when I do have free time I enjoy shopping,scrapbooking,watching movies,reading, and spending time with my family and friends. My husband is a cutting horse trainer, so we also spend a lot of our time at horse shows, and my son is invloved in all sports so his games and practice take up most of our weekends. We definitely stay busy, but we wouldn't have it any other way! As a family, we also love to travel, and the horse shows and the sporting events take us all over the United States; however, my dream vacation would be to backpack through Eurpoe, and I WILL do it one day.
My personal goal as an English teacher at Millsap High School is to be committed to the development of life-long learners by equipping students with the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently meet life's challenges as a responsible, productive citizen. I have a deep passion for what I do, and a love for learning that I hope to instill in each student who enters my classroom. By doing this, my dream is that each and every student would be able to develop an overall appreciation for literature and all of its fundamental components. I am positive that this is going to be a great year!
No obstacle is beyond our reach, but we MUST Dream Big!

Can bed bugs go away on their own?
When you have a nightmare while you're sleeping, you can just hope it to end as soon as possible. Because you don't have any way to stop it. So, when you have to deal bed bugs, can you just hope bed bugs to go away on their own?
What is a bed bug?
Bed bug is a kind of insect which is actually a common name used for more than 70 insect species. But bed bugs have some certain physical features to recognize them:
- Their bodies are oval-shaped
- The are 1 to 5 mm sized
- They have no wings
- They are blood-fed
To make sure if you have bed bugs or you don't, you can just check this post: https://bedbugdetected.com/what-do-bed-bugs-look-like-to-the-human-eye/
What brings bed bugs to your home?
There are hundreds of possibilities those can bring bed bugs into your home. You can check this article to learn about them: https://bedbugdetected.com/what-do-attract-bed-bugs/
But bed bugs usually come from a friend of you, a second hand book or furniture or in your baggage after a travel.
Do bed bugs eventually die?
I can understand why you ask this question. You just wonder their life time, so they will die and leave you alone!
Here's their life time: https://bedbugdetected.com/how-long-can-bed-bugs-live-without-a-host/
As you can see on that post, they can survive for months even without feeding or hosting. But this isn't the real problem. The real problem is how they multiply: https://bedbugdetected.com/how-do-bed-bugs-multiply/
Yes the are mortal too and will die eventually. But this will have no meaning as they can multiply so fast.
Do bed bugs go away?
There is no way to this. Yes, this may happen once in a thousand and they can go. But this is very low possibility to bargain on.
If there are some people inside the house, they won't prefer to go anywhere until they starve to death.
Do bed bugs go away in winter?
Ae bed bugs migratory insects? Sure, they are not. They have no wings to fly or no strong legs to walk for a very long time.
Beside this, they have resistance to cold and hot so, they can keep living in low or high temperatures: https://bedbugdetected.com/does-cold-kill-bed-bugs
How long after a treatment do bed bugs go away?
This is a wrong question. Because after a treatment, you will need time not for bed bugs to go away on their own but only to die.
Any treatment will need some time to kill bed bugs: https://bedbugdetected.com/how-long-does-it-take-for-bed-bugs-to-die-after-an-extermination/
Do bed bugs go away on their own? No way to this. They are not migratory or adventure addicts. Even if they don't have food near their hosts, they will still be waiting to the end for a new food source and won't leave their host.
So, bed bugs won't go away on their own. You need to make an extermination or treatment for bed bugs and kill them all.
Because of this, even if you already think that you got rid of them after a treatment and didn't see them around for a few months, you must still keep your eyes open for bed bugs.

Blossoms on
Nanking Cherry
Getting around the world when it's often difficult getting around the house.
I don't have a tulip left in my garden, Kay! As our blossoms in BC are waning the Alberta blossoms are just beginning. Late bloomers are a sweet reminder that spring really has come. Glad you are warming up to the season. :)
Beautiful blossoms they are and isn't it wonderful to finally see some color -- other than gray!! Terrific captures as always, Kay! Hope your week is off to a great start!
Great to see those blossoms!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Your blossoms may have arrived later than ours, but they are beautiful!
the blooms are so pretty
I have to also mention, every single time I see Lindy on the sidebar I smile :)
Hi - very nice set of flowers.
Thanks for spotting the missign "marsupial" predator in my post - all fixed. If a Tasmanian Devil was really larger than a Polar Bear I think I would be a bit less comfortable on walks in the bush!
Cheers - Stewart M - Australia
My mom love the cherry bushed..it's so beutiful
Hey Kay!
Love your pics of blooms! Very pretty. Thanks so much for always taking the time to stop by my blog. It is so very appreciated.
Take Care,
Jottings From Jersey
the blossoms are beautiful. and the tulips are finally arriving in our COLD part of the world!
Pictures of blossoms are always so beautiful! These are great, anhd I love the white and yellow color scheme.
Such lovely blossoms - a sure sign of spring!
Beautiful shots of flowers. Very colorful.
Nice flower shots, but I still prefer "the happy dog" in your sidebar, lol !
Spring has arrived at your house, beautiful blossoms
Spring is definitely in the air in your part of the world. pretty blooms!
It's such a magical time when the cherry blossoms start to bloom. I love how soft and gentle those cherry blossoms look and how bright, cheerful and promising those tulips are smiling at us. They are the harbingers of good weather - a time to celebrate. Enjoy!
Hurrah! All that patient waiting was worth it for such a reward:-)
Dear Kay, thanks so much for these lovely pictures, flowers bringing good energies for our day here, a show of colors!
Beautiful flowers, Kay. I have never seen a Saskatoon Berry bush though I have eaten the jam.
i love blogging - it lets me take part in spring over and over and over... LOVE those yellow tulips... and the name "Saskatoon Berry."
I missed the tulips this year at my favorite Botanical Gardens. The yellows really brighten our gloomy day today, weird Spring weather we have.
Love the shot looking down the flowers.
The flowers are lovely.
Our human did not feel like blogging this week. We may be back next week, hopefully.
Gotta love it when nature struts her stuff!
lovely blossoms!
Hooray for Spring. Makes my heart start dancing for you. Beautiful flowers. (I have asked our daughter to hold on to her spring flowers until July when we're back in Oregon...I'm sure she'll try! ;>)
Oh, I bet that feels really good. My Mom's tulips sprouted early and then we got a bad freeze. They all died back and never had any blossoms. There were lots of tulips at the Skagit festival, so they must do something to protect them. - Margy
Yae for spring! I love all your flowers.

The ketogenic diet is the new in-thing for fad dieters across the globe lately. The fad has become so popular that anyone and everyone who knows about this diet is supposedly an expert in nutrition now.
It makes dubious claims like there is no other diet you should follow, it treats diseases medical science has spent decades on researching and they are still finding a way out, it has magical superpowers, you will spot unicorns if you go on this diet and so on. I do not hate the dietary pattern as such but it is promoted as the only thing that works and that is my problem. And then there is a certain section of hardcore fad fanatics who take it to the next level of stupidity. In the nutrition world, we like to call them keto-tards.
What are the five signs that someone has become a keto-tard?
These supplements suggest that they induce dietary ketosis and thus you will end up burning more fat as fuel. This makes keto-tards stick to their ketone supplements like a bee to honey. Maybe the analogy is pointless as honey is not keto friendly. Getting back to the point, dietary ketosis does not mean anything unless you are in a caloric deficit. You can have all the ketones running in your blood and still get fat if you eat more calories.
© YouTube
Coffee? Add butter and coconut oil.
Eggs? Add heaps of butter to it.
Meat? Have the fattiest portion and cook it with more fat.
That, right there, is a logical fallacy. How so? The idea that someone had to go on a diet was to cut down their caloric intake and lose some weight. By just adding a lot of fat to every meal of theirs and not accounting for it, they are inviting more trouble to their bodies.
This is the epitome of stupid by keto-tards. Just because they can induce self-suffering by cutting out an entire macronutrient from their diets, they think they supersede the laws of thermodynamics and become some special beings.
Calories do not count on keto? Yeah, and earth is flat.
© YouTube
These fad fanatics create keto version of every possible food on the planet. They will add either some very expensive ingredients or will create some magical concoction of food items just to get a taste similar to that of the normal and easy to prepare recipes out there. And the funny part is, most of these recipes are twice the caloric value of the original recipe, thrice in the cost of preparation, and taste something that is not even close to the original delicacy.
How is that helpful?
Why is there a world war? Because not everyone follows keto.
Why are there natural disasters? Because people were not on a keto diet! That may be exaggerated but these keto-tards do end up preaching keto as the tell-all solution to health and lifestyle disorders.
Which, clearly, is not the case and there is evidence suggesting otherwise. But again, they have a moral responsibility to push their keto-tardness on everyone in sight. To conclude, follow a ketogenic diet if you want to. Time and again it has not shown to be beneficial, sustainable or performance friendly. If you still think it suits you better, more power to you.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Gov.-elect Tony Evers is naming a former Obama administration official to head the Wisconsin Department of Health Services.
Evers' transition team said Thursday that Andrea Palm is his pick to serve as secretary of the department with a $12 billion annual budget that oversees the state's Medicaid and other public benefits programs.
Evers was to officially announce Palm's appointment at a news conference Thursday where he was to name other Cabinet secretaries. Evers takes over for Gov. Scott Walker on Monday.
Palm is originally from New York state. She most recently served as senior counselor to the secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services under President Barack Obama from 2014 until 2017.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, she worked five years as a health policy adviser to then-U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton.

MPL – Round Nine v Western AFC
Vital Game
On Saturday we played against our local rivals at Home in the Mainalnd Premier league. Sitting just above us in third spot I felt not only a win would put us in the top 3 ahead of them but would also be one foot in the door to qualify for the South Island league.
Experience in the lineup
We were a much more experienced team today then the one that played against Western 7 or so weeks ago in a 2-1 loss. We started the game ever so brightly with two quick fire goals from two of the cities hot prospects. The first was a finesse top bins cracker from Jacob Richards. Jacob started on the left to take advantage of a weakness we could exploit and its paid off today. The goal started from Haris dribbling through 3 players before dishing it off to JJ to go inside his man to finish.
Our second goal started from some great combination play that seen Spain 1 on 1 with the Western keeper. It was a great save but the follow up had some confusion and Haris pounced on it. After 12 minutes we were 2-0 up and loving it.
Western Responded
Just 3 minutes later Western scored after our keeper has punched a corner which fell nicely to Thoms who volleyed it above a scramble of players to score. After this our reaction was class. Smiley was through own goal but taken down just outside the box. What could have been a red was a yellow in the end. It was that free kick that we took quickly and scored but for some reason the referee said it needed to be retaken. After hitting the bar and squandering more chances Western then scored of a free kick scramble. Bodies flying everywhere resulted in a tap in for Stanley.
Half time
2-2 at halftime and we are thinking surely if we just do what we have done the first 45 minutes we win the game 4-2. We started the 2nd half brightly as we continued to play out from the back pretty comfortably and dominate possession 65%. But we knew if we didnt score and we give away a silly foul in our own half Western were capable of scoring.
Late Goals to Win
It took us 86 minutes to finally score our 3rd goal. Spain has won a header and super sub Brett has raced onto it nodding it beyond the tiring Western defenders and striking it past a formidable Hinton in goal. After the goal Western come out of their shell a bit more in search of a goal and we managed to get another. This time Haris must have run past 5 players and squares it to JJ in an exhilarating counter. JJ finds Spain at far post for a tap in.
We won the game 4-2 and far out we had to work hard for it. Western played with their heart and soul to get a victory today and you need to commend their effort. In the end they were very close to earning themselves a point. I think the fact that they have scored 4 goals against us from set plays shows a real determination thats hard to match. Maybe if they hadnt got a player sin binned in the last 10 minutes things could have been different. I know we would have created chances in that time either way.
Stats and MOM
A big win for our boys and a real confidence boaster that we needed. 17 shots to their 6 and 64% possession tells me we played pretty good against a team that sat 3rd above us. Finally we converted some of our chances and hopefully we can continue to do so.
We had some great performers today. Connor Lidstone was winning nearly all of his defensive challenges. JJ was threatening as hell but you cant go past that performance from Haris Zeb. 18 dribbles today and over 60% successful. If he keeps developing on when to pass and when to take a player on he can go professional.
Our next two games are against Cashmere Tech and we are super keen to play the way we have been playing against the table leaders. Another opportunity to measure how where we are at. Hope to see you there.

February 3, 1996, Section 1, Page 6Buy Reprints
Guarding his post on the Brotherhood and Unity bridge, Sinisa Jovic, a Bosnian Serb policeman, had a message for his best friend, a Muslim in the part of the city the Bosnian Serbs had shelled and besieged.
"Go tell him that if he comes here I will guarantee that no one will touch one hair on his head," said the 31-year-old former soldier. "And ask him if it will be safe for me to come there, so we can again drink coffee together and talk about the old times that were. He is my friend and I have no other."
Where once armed Serbs sat stony-faced, 60 feet from their enemies in the Bosnian capital, they now drink toasts to the end of the war and daydream about the cosmopolitan city they fled.
It is a reflection of the change they see across the Miljacka River, in the Government-controlled center of town. From their perches over the last two months, they have watched Sarajevo come alive with the bustle of people and the rush of trams. They have heard the distant thumping of discos and have seen empty buildings turned into shiny coffee bars.
Their neighborhood, Grbavica, sits in stark contrast to this economic regeneration. On the southern edge of the city, it remains a chilly grouping of damaged high-rises and former sniper nests, where all streets are marked by rows of protective shields. Under the terms of the Dayton peace agreement, even this dismal sanctuary will soon be lost, formally coming under Government control next month.
The peace accord guarantees the rights and property of Serbs who remain in Grbavica, but few say they will risk staying. Where to go remains a problem.
Most of the Bosnian Serb republic is composed of villages, where foreign languages and university education are not prized, where the main export is wood, not art, music or education. And for the men on the bridge -- like many residents of Sarajevo's suburbs, well educated and accustomed to urban society -- a sadness has crept from the peace, a longing for the eclectic trappings of the city they tried to kill.
"Before the war, I had a country," said another Bosnian Serb policeman, 28-year-old Risto Bebarovic. "Now I have nothing. Over there, they have cars, apartments, culture and a country. I have the Bosnian Serb republic but I have no heart for this place.
"During New Year's Eve, I could see the tram moving in the night picking up people in what was once my neighborhood and I began to cry. Sometimes I regret crossing the bridge."
Mr. Bebarovic grew up in Sarajevo, learned English, became an electrical engineer, and fell in love with a young Muslim girl. He never planned on leaving. But in 1992, as war broke out, he and his Serbian friends said they were pushed to chose sides.
Some Bosnian Serbs took up arms and sowed terror in their own city. Others just left, overcome by worry that they might become victims of Muslims. They now have a wasteland to ponder.
Shaking his head at his dismal prospects, Mr. Bebarovic recalled the day he slipped away across the bridge into Grbavica.
"I had gone down to the coffee bar, 20 feet from my home," he said clenching his jaw. "But when I asked for a brandy, the waiter told me he had none. I tried to get a beer, then a coffee. He had none for Serbs. After that I stayed awake all night, worried that they would come for me. Finally, by the morning, I had crossed to the other side and lost everything."
Mr. Jovic and Mr. Bebarovic are now trying to rekindle their connections in the city, hoping that old friends will guide them back into the lives they once had. But their return is fraught with difficulties. The Bosnian Government has yet to offer amnesty to its former enemies. It also keeps records on all Serbs who left Sarajevo and has put together lists of complaints against those who might have committed crimes.
The war has left old friendships tattered and vague, more things of suspicion than cherished memories. And there is plenty of hate to go around.
Mr. Jovic's friend, 31-year-old Mevludin Kaljanac, now sits in the Dayton Cafe, covered with scars and hobbling to the cash register on an artificial leg, a replacement for the leg he lost in a battle for a hill near Sarajevo. Tapping his prosthetic limb under the dim fluorescent light, Mr. Kaljanac said he was once a soccer player and judo expert, sports he played with Mr. Jovic as a boy. But now, he said, people who left the city and then fired on its people are no longer welcome.
"I am not the President, so I can't decide who comes into the city," he said. "He can come if he wants. But I think it's better if he just stays away."
Where Mr. Jovic grew up, less than a mile from his post on the bridge, houses sit largely vacant due to shells and sniping from Grbavica, and his neighbors while away hours talking about close calls and the young dead. They recall Mr. Jovic as a good youth who one day abandoned them. They wonder if over the years he fired some of those deadly shots into their midst or committed crimes in Grbavica. If he didn't, they know his compatriots did.
"I have lost a lot in this war," Mr. Kaljanac said. "Look at me, I don't even have my leg. Sinisa was my best friend but I can't remember the good friendship anymore. All things are different now."
Windows for Sarajevo
GENEVA, Feb. 2 (Reuters) -- The United Nations refugee agency announced plans today to replace many of the window panes of Sarajevo and said it was increasingly hopeful that thousands of Serbs would choose to remain in their homes in the city.
A spokesman for the group said it would replace about 70 percent of the windows smashed in more than three years of shelling and sniper fire.
The agency will also be buying large amounts of concrete, timber and roofing tiles to help displaced people elsewhere in Bosnia reclaim and repair their homes.
The cost of the operation is put at $5 million, part of a $30 million emergency shelter program that the agency will present to donor governments in the coming days.
When possible, the materials will be bought in Bosnia itself to help kick-start local industries, but the agency said the glass for Sarajevo will have to come from abroad.
The vast majority of windows in Sarajevo have been replaced by plastic sheeting during 43 months of war.
A spokesman for the agency, Ron Redmond, said the group welcomed the opening to unrestricted foot traffic opened on Thursday of Sarajevo's Brotherhood and Unity Bridge, linking central Sarajevo with the Serb-held suburb of Grbavica. The bridge was a hotly contested passage during the war.
The United Nations estimates that 12,000 Serbs have already packed up and left Sarajevo suburbs, which are due to come under the control of the Muslim-led Government by mid-March.

For two nights only infamous rock-star group AC/CD are smashing out hits with the Brisbane crowd.
Wild wonders AC/DC are finishing their Rock or Bust World Tour in five major cities of Australia.
Opened by special guest bands The Hive and Kingswood, AC/DC rock group belted out songs from their fifth number one album in Australia on Thursday night.
Vocalists Brian Johnson and Bon Scott belted out Play Ball, Rock the House, Emission Control and more while fans were heading banging in the pit, giving the sign on thorns from another's shoulders and thumping down on the grand stand with an encore for more.
However it was the classic hits Highway to Hell and Have a Drink on Me that made the crowd wild. Their rock vocals could be described as nothing less than encouragingly loud, intense and high voltage.
Scottish born Australia guitarist and classic devil horn adopter Angus Young kicked the energy up by more than one notch with his outstanding skills and his ability to outlast any young rocker on the open air stage.
The sold out concert had wrangled in a crowd of flashing red devil horns, black branded T's and blue jeans worn by hardcore fans in spectacular rock n roll style.
AC/DC Rock or Bust was the ultimate and classic rock concert with electrifying concussion blasts reverberating through 45,000 die-hard fans.

I am very happy that fall is around the corner. With the fall season, I plan to eat everything pumpkin flavored. For a few years now, I have enjoyed the pumpkin flavored bagel from Einstein Bros. Bagels. In fact, I even look forward to it every year. I also like Einsteins because the bagels are always fresh, and they have many interesting flavor combinations.
They also have pumpkin smear for your pumpkin bagel (which I have not tried yet). I get my pumpkin bagel toasted with peanut butter on it. I feel like peanut butter keeps me going longer in the morning hours.
We also love their cinnamon sugar bagel poppers. I love the idea that these are what's left after the bagel is made.
I would recommend everyone to visit Einsteins because they have a large selection of bagels, smears, coffees and baked goods. The whole family will be able to enjoy a meal together for once, even the picky eaters will be happy!
The Einstein Bros. Bagels location that I visited is 3750 Beltline Road Suite 118, Addison, TX 75001.

#1 How to turn off FaceTime and avoid Apple's eavesdropping bug01-29-2019, 11:25 AM

London (CNN Business)A newly discovered privacy bug in Apple's FaceTime software allows users to hear and see the person they are calling, without the recipient even picking up.
The glitch impacts iPhones and iPads running iOS 12.1, and Apple PCs running macOS Mojave with the newly added Group FaceTime feature.
Apple (AAPL) confirmed it started disabling the Group FaceTime feature for all users, but the issue may still impact one-on-one FaceTime calls. Until the company rolls out a fix later this week, here's how to disable FaceTime on your Apple device:

Pro bowling makes TV comeback
Fox Sports started its Professional Bowlers Association coverage with something of a whimper, showing the PBA Clash on the Sunday before Christmas after the National Football League's 1 p.m. games.
I knew the PBA was coming to the Fox networks, but I never saw a promo for this event.
Instead, I just happened to be flipping channels looking for more NFL games … and boom! there were the pro bowlers.
I figured later I probably missed the first 10 or 15 minutes, which had to be mostly promo anyway.
My Charter Communications listing showed this 90-minute event ending at 6 p.m. (I could tell it was taped, so it definitely fit in the time slot), but it was obvious as 6 p.m. neared it wasn't anywhere near finished.
It actually ran until just about 6:40 p.m., meaning it must've started 40 minutes late.
I wonder if many viewers who tuned in for the start gave up on them ever showing it?
I also saw a replay listed for this event last week on Fox Sports Detroit, and with more replays possible, I won't spoil the ending by telling you who won.
But it was an interesting format, though I prefer real games of bowling. They started with eight guys handpicked for the show throwing a 10th frame, eliminating the low man.
The guys involved, and I'll list them in the same order that the Fox Sports website listed them as to not give away who did well, were Jason Belmonte, Anthony Simonsen, Dom Barrett, Andrew Anderson, EJ Tackett, Marshall Kent, Stuart Williams and Jakob Butturff.
Each subsequent single-ball round knocked out the low man until the final two, who bowled a full game to determine the winner.
There wasn't a new show on Fox this past Sunday, though they'll be moving to FS1 for a show at 11 a.m. this Sunday. That's the PBA Hall of Fame Classic finals, and it will be live.
Starting this weekend, Fox (twice) and FS1 (eight times) will have PBA shows each Sunday through March 10, with seven of the 10 shown live.
Then they go nuts in mid-March with five straight nights of coverage from Monday through Friday, March 18-22, on FS1, the first four live, before picking up nearly weekly coverage into July.

RIFLE, Colo.—A Glenwood Springs man has proposed building a 100-unit camper park near here to house energy workers after hearing about the growing number of requests from natural gas companies for temporary workers' camps.
The county is considering giving blanket permission for small numbers of essential personnel to live at such sites. Critics say that could infringe on landowners' rights.
Jimmy Sills, who rents buildings on his property to energy companies, wants to build a camper park southeast of Rilfe to help meet the need.
"To me, that's not the right thing to do, to force people to have workers live on their property," Sills said.
Sills wants to build the park on nearly 36 of some 125 acres he owns about a mile south of the Garfield County Airport. Each site would have water and sewer hookups. Only campers and recreational vehicles could stay there; no tents would be allowed.
County staffers said that the camper park would affect traffic and visibility for the area's growing population in the area. They've also noted the demand for more affordable housing in the county.
The county's camper-park regulations cap the number of days a recreation vehicle can stay on a site. Sills said he hopes the county will waive that requirement.
"What's important to us is that maybe some of these workers can bring their family with them and live in an environment that's safe," Sills said.
Housing for gas-field workers and other residents has become a big issue in Garfield County because of the natural gas boom in western Colorado.

Transitional periods are never fun, and ProAssurance (PRA) is likely looking at a couple of years where core earnings and book value growth will be pressured by rising claims costs. This is a sector-wide phenomenon, though, and many of ProAssurance's competitors have been less conservative with their accounting assumptions and lack the same quality of reserves, which should lead to stronger industry-wide pricing.
Valuing ProAssurance is complicated by the likelihood that the near-term results aren't really representative of the long-term earnings power of the business. Although there is a practical reality that insurance companies don't usually outperform without underlying earnings and book value growth, I believe there is worthwhile long-term potential here.

A judge has ruled against the NCAA in a federal antitrust case, opening door for players to receive more compensation. On Friday night US District Judge Claudia Wilken said that the NCAA cannot "limit compensation or benefits related to education" for athletes playing Division I men's or women's basketball or Bowl Subdivision football.
Wilken said these athletes may receive are scholarships to complete undergraduate or graduate degrees at any school. The judge also appeared to open the possibility of athletes being able to receive cash or cash-equivalent awards based on academics or graduation, albeit under some constraints.
At the same time, however, her 104-page ruling prevents athletes from receiving unlimited benefits, as the plaintiffs had hoped.
The NCAA "may continue … to limit compensation and benefits that are unrelated to education," Wilken ruled.
She also said that the association may adopt a definition of compensation and benefits that are "related to education."
Wilken wrote that the changes to the NCAA's current system will take effect in 90 days, but will be stayed if either side appeals.
The outcome represents a partial victory for plaintiffs who were seeking to have the association's limits on athletes compensation in favor of allowing conferences to determine what athletes can receive.

The best graphs are both beautiful and informative - a smooth blend of art and analytics. But more often than not, the two collide rather than blending smoothly...
Here is a link to a artistic infographic I recently saw posted by Vendavo on twitter. Their message (80% of your profit is generated by 20% of your customers) seemed 'plausible' ... but something just didn't seem quite right about their infographic. Upon closer scrutiny, I noticed that the slices in their pie charts did not seem to accurately represent the numbers (80% and 20%) in the text.
So, of course, I decided to make a SAS version that was both beautiful and informative (... with correctly sized pie slices!) Here's what I came up with, to show that an infographic can be both artistic and accurate!
Technical Details:
For most infographics, I like to use SAS' annotate feature. Annotate allows me to programmatically place custom graphics and text anywhere on the page, and do so in a data-driven way (that way, I can make sure my 80% and 20% pie slices occupy 80 and 20 percent of their respective pies, for example).
To produce the donut pies, I first created a full/solid pie of the non-slice color:
And then added a bright slice of the desired percent (with the angle calculated using a data-driven equation, of course!):
And then overlay a smaller solid pie, the same color as the background:
And, for the finishing touch, I added the text labels:
If you'd like to create a similar infographic, here's a link to the exact SAS code I used.
Now it's your turn - what's the worst clash of art and analytics you've seen? :)

Nominated for an LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Building Excellence Award celebrating constructional and architectural excellence, construction of the new Malvern Crossing Care Home has recently been completed on a site in Gloucester Road, Tewkesbury.
LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Building Excellence awards are all about excellence achieved through building standards, technical innovation and sustainable designs.
Local, regional and national award ceremonies are held throughout the year with categories incorporating every class of building from domestic extensions, social housing, apartments, schools, hospitals, commercial and retail to industrial properties.
The care home project was carried out for Aspirations Care by Developers ME Wynn & Co, with Longlevens Building and Roofing Services as Main Contractors, with whom ME Wynn & Co have had a very successful association. The Architects were DSW Designs.
"This is the second independent care home we have built for Aspirations. The first was Abbeymead in Gloucester, which was completed last year and was also recommended by Gloucester City Council Building Control inspectors for an LABC award.
"The final result was that we were highly recommended for the quality of our work on the scheme and came third out of 30,000 entries" said Mr Ted Wynn of ME Wynn & Co Ltd, who was delighted that the company has again been nominated for an LABC award for the current project.
"It's a real feather in our cap and quite an achievement. I feel that we have further improved our work with this contract – the home really is like a five star hotel" he added.
The inspectors were not the only ones impressed by the new development.
"The clients are absolutely over the moon with it – the directors (Sharon Workman & Ian Salter) say that yet again the standard has passed their expectations, and they are delighted to include the new property into their care home group" said Mr Wynn.
It is designed to accommodate adults with profound and multiple disabilities. Facilities at The Malvern Crossing Care Home include seven ensuite bedrooms equipped with special hoists, as well as a lounge, dining room and a kitchen with specialised tables for wheelchair users so that residents can cook if they wish (although a catering service is provided).
The home is designed to allow wheelchair access throughout. A rainwater harvesting system has been installed to provide water for flushing toilets and for washing machines.
The two storey building features external elevations in brick and render, with UPVC framed windows and a pitched tiled roof. External works included the creation of landscaped gardens with seating and patio areas, as well as a car park.
Longlevens Building and Roofing Services are a well respected Gloucester-based company who have been established for over 20 years. Collectively, the directors of the company have over 50 years experience which they feel shows in the quality of their construction work.
The company offers a full range of construction services; from brickwork and patios, through to loft conversions, extensions and new building. Longlevens Building and Roofing are well practiced in many forms of construction and are able to build bespoke or traditional designs, commercial or domestic projects.
Every year the company takes on apprentices through CITB, so they also support local young people's careers whilst getting the job done.
