Have any questions?
How do I benefit from the Clinic Toolkit™?
The Child Nutrition Clinic Toolkit™ is an online, intelligent solution that is going to help you enormously with your business. It enables you to grow your practice through client questionnaires online, smart forms doing the calculations for you, and pre-populating results and nutritional recommendations! This is a solution that you can integrate into your own branding and workflow, saving you time, eliminating calculation errors, and helping you to look much more organised and professional.
How can it help grow my practice?
Your Clinic Toolkit™ will help present your services in a proficient way, setting yourself further apart from the competition! The smart forms are meant to surprise and delight your clients in their journey, making them feel special and well looked after by you. For example, your client won't need to scan anything or bring paper copies to their session with you. Plus it eliminates the problem of not understanding your client's handwriting. More importantly, this level of automation removes your own manual calculation time. The smart forms will calculate the formulas for you. This way, you can
support a lot more clients
simultaneously! And your clients learn just by filling out the forms as we include (very subtle) guidance. This will reflect well on you, and will inspire clients to recommend you to their friends!
How does it work?
You would invite your clients to set up their own account and to complete their forms and journals online. You would receive your client's completed forms before each session, for you to review and analyse, allowing you to prepare in advance. The forms can also be completed during (or after) a session with you. All online assessments
automatically calculate the results
for you, which removes any calculation errors and saves time. Plus, you can finish up your
meal plans online!
The forms are based on the same structure as your Advanced Child and Brain Development Nutritional certification – remember, you have lifetime access to your certification content, so you can always log back in to access it for a refresher. All future additions to your certification materials will also be updated in your Clinic Toolkit, so you and your clients won't miss out on anything!
How do I integrate the forms into my workflow?
Because all your client questionnaires and journals can be completed online, it means that you can deliver your client sessions in many formats, even
remotely from the comfort of your home:
face-to-face, via Skype, over the phone, or small groups – in person or online! You get a copy of the forms completed by you or by your client, which you can save, email, or print as a handout.
Will you be in touch with my clients?
No. We won't be in touch with your clients. All communication goes through you only. We don't see your clients' form submissions, and anything you submit via our platform is strictly confidential between you and your clients. We have strict procedures for any client-specific data retrieval, which requires your explicit request. It goes without saying that we take data protection and client confidentiality seriously.
What's the Clinic Toolkit™?
It's a new online platform with automated, intelligent digital forms. It operates on its own independent environment (no links to our educational platform). You can invite your own clients to fill their questionnaires, assessments and food diaries online. And you can prepare their meal plans online too! This optional service is only available if you're a graduate of the relevant certification with The Health Sciences Academy.
When should my client complete each form?
Some smart forms can be completed in-session (making you look more professional and organised as you sit with your client), while other smart forms can be filled out by the client at home, as homework between sessions.
Are the sample meals automatically populated?
Yes, they are! The toolkit
pre-populates the sample meals
where applicable, and the information is completely changeable by you, so you can tweak the output before you sent it to your client! It also pre-populates formula results, tailored goals, and personalised recommendations. This will save you loads of time. Plus, all text is
fully editable
, giving you complete freedom to adjust a plan before emailing or printing it. Preparing individualised meal plans has never been this fast and easy! Everything is based on the scientific knowledge you gained throughout your certification, helping you further stand out from your competitors.
Will you charge my clients?
No, clients who are invited by you are not charged by us. This is part of the service you get, so YOU can charge them independently. Once your Clinic Toolkit account is active, you can invite your clients to fill their forms and food diaries online. This way, you can analyse their submissions before, during or after each session. You are 100% in control!
Can I contact you if I've got more questions?
Of course! We will answer any other question you may have. And fast. Feel free to drop us a line

Landmannalaugar Winter Expedition
Trip difficulty 3 out of 5 possible.
A truly remarkable winter adventure lies ahead. In the morning everybody boards their own Super Defender (big 38 tires) with the guiding vehicle leading the way out of town and towards the Icelandic highlands. Our aim is to reach Landmannalaugar* in the southern interior a place unreachable during winter for normal cars. With our modified cars we are driving and floating over snow covered plains far away from any civilization. On our way we stop at unique natural sights such as the spectacular Hjálparfoss and Háifoss waterfalls as wells as taking a peak at the restored Vikinghouse, Þjórðveldisbærinn that lies close to the Búrfell Hydro station. We reach the remote hut of Landmannalaugar, Icelands most popular summer highland destination, which in winter we are likely to have all to our selves! There the group will have some teambuilding trials to solve. Each program is customized for each group in accordance with the composition of the group. Trials will take place in the hut as well as outside, so make sure that every one comes prepared for the harsh conditions. Then we barbecue Icelandic lamb in the evening and unwind in the famous natural hot pot right next to the hut.. In morning and after a good breakfast our arctic adventure continues as we make our way back into civilization. On the way we stop Gullfoss waterfall and Geysir hot springs to crown this magnificent winter expedition. We should be back in the capital in the early evening but no one can say for sure, the Icelandic winter always has the last word!* In case the hut in Landmannalaugar cannot be reached we will use theaccommodation at Hrauneyjar or Holaskogur as a backup location.
DetailsDistance from Reykjavik: 150 km.Duration of trip: approx 10-11 hours.Available: All year (depending on weather).Minimum: 8 pax.Maximum: 40 pax.Age limit: 14 years.Bring with you: Very Very Warm outdoor clothing, waterproof jacket and pants. Warm gloves, warm socks, warm sweater and warm undergarments. Dress like you are going to the North Pole! Good hiking shoes are necessary! No knowledge of the sport required. Drivers have to be over 25 years old and have valid drivers licenses.
Includes: Pick up from accommodation, self drive super-defenders including fuel for 2 days, teambuilding expert, mountain and super-jeep guides and all necessary equipment to sleep in a mountain hut including sleeping bag.
Food included
- Day One: Lunch and dinner.
- Day two: Breakfast and lunch.
NOTE! Allow for an extra day in Iceland after this trip, i.e. never book a flight the morning after a winter expedition, sometimes conditions and weather can make us late getting into town!

Jill Duggar and Derrick Dillard have embarked on their mission trip ... with baby Israel in tow! Talk about a crazy trip for their young'un, getting to see the world so early.
Jill's sis Jessa Seewald made this announcement via Instagram on the couple's behalf while also snapping this sweet pic of the family right before boarding their plane. She included the following caption:
So excited for @jillmdillard & @derickdillard! They've been praying about and working towards this transition since late last year, and are so excited to finally be heading to the mission field! Please continue to pray for them! And be sure to check out their blog at www.dillardfamily.com "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16:15
While it's unknown exactly where the couple is going (in an update on their blog, the couple said they're keeping their destination private over security concerns) many theorize they're heading to Nepal. Regardless of where they go, it will likely be an area that's a little rough around the edges that needs missionary help -- which has some fans wondering whether their infant will be okay there.
As one commentator asked, "Who's gonna care for baby? They don't know anybody."
More from The Stir: Derick Dillard's Future Plans for Israel Could Cause Trouble With the Duggars
But I say good for them! We treat babies way too delicately in this country -- in my mind, that baby will be fine.
Plus, parents can't just stop their life and careers and callings for a baby's sake: Whenever I see people putting their own passions aside to focus entirely on their family, I tend to see rumblings of regret in them later on.
Because let's face it: Soon enough, kids grow up, and want nothing to do with their parents (or so I hear...). And at that point, if the parents have put their passions on hold for, say, two or even ten years, it's not easy to just pick up where you left off!
There's no doubt that parenting is a sacrifice. But that doesn't mean parents have to sacrifice every single scrap of their identity pre-family. Because that will only make parents unhappy, and unhappy parents aren't good for kids.
And I'm not just talking about mission trips. I'm talking about date nights, drinks out with your friends, hobbies, travel, you name it! If it makes you happy, be sure to keep it in your lives even once a baby arrives.
In other words, I think both baby Israel and his parents will end up better for this trip. Bon voyage!
How old do you think a baby should be before flying overseas?

Notice: This is the official website of the All Empires History Community (Reg. 10 Feb 2002)
We all know how Armenians have been forced away from Eastern Turkey, and the region today is virtually free of Armenians, i.e. by the modern definition it is ethnically cleansed.
What is little known in the West is that the Turks and Tatars of the terriories of modern Armenia have met a similar faith.
Yerevan, the capital of modern Armenia, was once a thriving muslim city with an overwhelming muslimg majority until the year 1914. Some 260,000 Turko-Tatars lives in Yerevan around 1830. By 1921 the muslim population had dwindled to 89,000 people. Today the town is virtually free of Muslims, but the traces of the lost community can still be found if one looks carefully enough:
For instance I came accross an interesting blog:
Kond is all that is left of old Yerevan from the time in the 19th Century when the Armenian capital was a predominently Moslem village. Even the local secondary school still displays old photographs of minarets towering over the district, and a careful search can still yield discoveries testifying to Kondĺs Islamic past.
Indeed, one of the mosques still stands, albeit stripped of its minarets. Since the 1920s, when the last Azerbaijani Moslems left Kond, it has been used for housing by [Christian] Armenian families that still live there, inhabiting the rooms that surround the mosqueĺs inner courtyard.
Another landmark testifying to Yerevan's islamic past is the only remaining mosque today - the Blue Mosque:
When Turks are deported, this means "liberation", but when Turks deport the others, that means "genocide". This mentality is the cause of the ideology which still continues shaping western point of view. This is rewriting history, or simply taking out the parts which conflict your myths, or your norms of neighborship.
Which part of Armenia did the Azerbaijanis live before the conflict?
The total number of Azeri refugees, which apart from those from Armenia, also includes those from NK and surrounding territory is around a million.
Kemal Karpat, Justin McCarthy - I think they base their numbers on the Ottoman census.
Thanks for the map.
Concerning the figures of muslim inhabitants, I do not know on what basis you dispute the results of the Ottoman census, do you have more reliable figures?
I believe the Ottoman census is the primary source for the number of muslims. Unless you claim there was doublecounting I do not see how it is an overestimate. If anythink it is an underestimate since it is possible some muslims were simply not on the official record.
Also the ottoman census of armenians is a lower bound, not an upper bound as you claim. many armenians were simply not counted, and usually only the head of the family was included.
Yes, probably you are right.
A nice picture.
Kurds of the Yezidi sect - they are not muslims.
Armenia is virtually free of muslims nowadays. Who uses that mosque in Yerevan? Do you know?
sorry, the thing about the ottoman census was my own speculation. You are right Yerevan was occupied by the Russians in 1828. I do not know what Prof. Karpat bases his estimates upon (maybe a previous census, just before the occupation?), but in any case if you believe the figures are inaccurate, I would be interested to hear what the correct number of muslims in the province was according to you?
I know that Yerevan was occupied by Russia by the beginning of the 20th century. I simply did not know what the exact date was.
By the way I took the numbers from the sources that I pasted before:
http://www.allempires.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=10040&am p;PN=3
Concerning the Ottoman archives it is very easy to check what they say as long as you speak turkish. Many documents pertaining to the Russian agression during and after 1915 can be accessed online at
Some of them have english translations too.
It is 5.5 million and it is not the number killed, but also inclues those that have died from disease and starvation as a result of the forced migration from the lost provinces of the ottoman empire. But anyway that is not relevant to the topic.
So what in your opinion was the number of Muslim residents in Yerevan province before the Russian agression?
Concerning the period under consideration, i.e. the fall of Yerevan - Russians were nothing but expansionist agressors following their imperialist interests.
During the fall of Yerevan the agression was not against the Ottoman Empire, but against Persia.
Here, from an Armenian source:
These provinces were conquered by the Russians during the fourth Russian-Persian war, between 1826 and 1827. This war was initiated by the rapid advance of the indefatigable Prince Abbas Mirzaĺs forces, numbering around 35,000 men, who made a lightning attack on the cities of Gyumri (Alexandrapol) and Ganja (Elisavetpol). These two cities fell almost immediately into the hands of the Persian forces. The wind of danger blew towards Tbilisi and the city was expected to fall at any moment. But the tables were turned after six weeks of intensive and courageous defence of the fortress in -Shushi, where the Armenians in the city, together with the garrison of the city which was limited to only 350 men under the leadership of colonel Reout, withstood the Persian army. 17 The resistance was reinforced with the brilliant victory in September 2, 1826, in Shamkhor, masterminded by General Madatian. This Armenian general defeated the 10,000 strong Persian army with his 2,000 men and retook the city of Ganja. 20
Then, General Paskevitch, who had been appointed chief commander of the Russian army instead of old Yermolov, and his 8,000 men joined the Armenian forces of Madatian. The new commander attacked the forces of Yerevan and defeated them in the vicinity of Ganja.
One year later, in 1827, Paskevitch occupied the city of Etchmiadzin and besieged Yerevan. He subsequently marched towards Nakhichevan and took the province in June. In August the Persians, led by Prince Abbas Mirza, arrived at the plains of Yerevan in an attempt to force the Russians to end their siege, but were defeated in battle near the city of Astarah. Finally, on October 2, the garrison of Yerevan, consisting of 4,000 men and 50 canons, surrendered. Volunteer Armenian infantrymen and cavalrymen participated during the entire campaign and fought side by side with the Russian soldiers. 22
and it continues
The Russian conquests in the Caucasus and Eastern Armenia from Persia brought her in direct contact with the Ottoman Empire in Asia.
The Bosporus still attracted Russian attention in regard to the Orient, and Armenia was naturally part of this concern. ôFrom this moment on an Armenian Question was created between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, a question which for a long time had remained hidden and unclear, but which eventually was forced into the light.ö 26
In addition, the new border between Russia and the Ottoman Empire which ran through Armenia, resulted in the 19th century in a war in Armenia alongside the chief Russian-Ottoman war in the Balkans and Crimea.
The first Russian-Ottoman war during the 19th century (not taking into account the war between 1808 and 1812) was ignited between 1828 and 1829. The basis for this war was the Russian involvement in the Greek revolt against the sultan. This war finished in a Russian victory in the Balkans which forced the sultan to sign a peace treaty and officially recognize an independent Greece, and was followed by yet another brilliant coup in Armenia where Marshal Paskevitch led the Caucasian forces, in which the Armenian units participated, to victory. 27
The Russian chief commander, who led an army of 25,000 men (leaving behind 15,000 men in the Caucasus for the defence against an eventual Persian assault), started from Gyumri and took the city of Kars. He then went north and conquered the cities of Akhaltsikh and Ardahan.
During the Crimea War (1855-1856) Armenia once again became the second stage of war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire. A Russian army of 6 000 men, led by the Armenian General Behboudian, achieved its first victory on November 14, 1853, by the Arpa River, near Gyumri, crushing the 12 000 strong Turkish army which was led by Ahmed Pasha.
Through a circling offensive of his left flank, led by Lazarian, he surrounded the right flank of Mokhtar Pasha and defeated it by the shores of Arpa River. THus Loris Melikian was able to rapidly retake the Kars fortress, which fell during the night of November 18 to the Russian attack. For this he received the St Georgeĺs Cross from the Russian tsar and the Order of Merit from the German Kaiser Wilhelm I. The battle ended with the conquest of Erzurum.
As a result of the negotiations in San Stefano and Berlin, Russia received Kars, Ardahan and Batum among its conquests in the Ottoman Empire
http://www.armenica.org/cgi-bin/history/en/getHistory.cgi?1= 999=224=999==1=3=A
You can clearly see the instrumental role Armenians played in the Russian expansion into the region. It was a century marked by defeat after defeat for the Muslims forces.
Hundreds of thousands of muslims were displaced and flocking towards the lands that were still under Muslim control. The distrust against the Armenians was rising.

Screenshot of a breaking news alert e-mail from Q2 2017
After China announced its ban on domestic exchanges trading Bitcoin, South Korea is the next country that also came out with the news that it is going to ban Initial Coin Offering (ICOs).
With the popularity of ICOs going through the roof, with some estimating that the total market value of the ICO market is now $2.5 billion in funds, some governments are backing off the "craze" by imposing strict regulations on their domestic exchanges.
According to Reuters, South Korea will be banning ICOs and the method of raising money through them. The scrutiny with which the ICOs will be monitored will be very strict, as reported by their Financial Services Commission. The financial regulator shared its thoughts that the digital currencies may pose serious implications for South Korea's regulation of money and the whole economy, as reported by Adnan Farooqui from Ubergizmo.
Ubergizmo also reported:
"Raising funds through ICOs seem to be on the rise globally, and our assessment is that ICOs are increasing in South Korea as well," the regulator said in a statement, adding that it will issue "stern penalties" to parties or financial institutions found involved in ICOs."
One of the greatest fears of governments and central banks is the actual scale and popularity of Bitcoin and the digital currencies among people. As some of this cryptocurrency cannot be traced and monitored properly, governments may be losing power over their economies, especially with the advancement of "cashless products" such as Ethereum, ICOs, Bitcoin, Litecoin etc.

Werewolf teen Taylor Lautner may be able to keep his sexy role in the Twilight sequel, New Moon — he's just gotta pack on 29 pounds to seal the deal.
Entertainment Weekly hears that things are looking up for little Taylor Lautner. Apparently all of his campaigning might have paid off, as rumor has it he may stay on for the next movie.
This week, the hammer is supposed to drop on whether or not he is in or out, and EW says Lautner is in, along with Kristen Stewart (returning as Bella Swan) and Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen).
The big issue surrounding Lautner is his weight. In New Moon the werewolf boy is supposed to grow up much more physically and look akin to a 25-year-old. Supposedly Lautner has already packed on 19 pounds and promises to gain 10 more. Because that's what I want in my teen urban fantasy movie about vampires and werewolves: realistic-looking body types. Come on, Summit, just let the kid have the part. Enough is enough.

Hundreds and thousands of children are thought to be involved in picking and processing cotton around the world. Many are kept out of school, work in dangerous conditions, and some are not even paid and sometimes work ten or twelve hours a day. Their parents stop them from going to school because they need them in the fields, where farmers like to employ children because they have nimble fingers and are the same height as the plants they are picking. When it rains they are given plastic sheets, which they put on their heads, and then carry on working. Apparently the girls work much harder than the boys who run around and, if beaten, they stop work. Boys' behaviour then seems pretty universal! While pressure from the West is making a difference to the cotton supply chain in India, there is not the same pressure from within the country. Rampant poverty, high inflation, unemployment, and a lack of regulation of the industry make it difficult to see how things will change. I have never felt guilty about wearing cotton clothes, but knowing now what I have just learnt, perhaps I should.
Only Cotton
In the Southern Punjab
the sun scorches, the insects hum,
small pieces of cotton dust
fill the air,
whirl, suffocate, poison.
Aruni and Paloma, ten and twelve,
bend and pick, bend and pick,
hour after hour.
Scratches on their arms
scab and bleed,
their heads ache,
their vision blurs,
their drinking water canisters
contaminated with lethal spray.
At dusk they crawl home.
At dawn, they start another day.
Mrs Anne Hudson-Berry
selects a cool cotton dress
adorns herself,
hails a taxi,
has lunch at the Ritz.
Very best wishes for 2017, Patricia

Real Estate Purchases
We have a true passion for real estate, and our personal experience has shown us that real estate is a solid and proven way to build financially for our future, and as such it is our preferred investment. Here are a few ways we can help you add real estate to your investment portfolio:
- We help investors find and purchase a fixer upper. We can then assist in creating order and adding equity to your investment, and finally we can help you lease or sell the home through the local MLS.
- We work with potential homeowners who are searching for a home to make their own. Once we've found your place, we establish plans together to rehabilitate it according to your needs and dreams! Often homebuyers need help with financing and vision, and that's where we help make things happen!
- For very passive real estate investors, we provide the resources {such as financing, procurement, repairs, property management, etc.} for those of you who do not have time to search for, remodel, and resale or lease your own properties. We equip you with our time and tools so that you can add real estate to your investment and retirement portfolio without having to be hands-on.

Sometimes it's best to keep it in the family, so when our creative director needed a marvellous marketer to join the Mo Works team he knew just who to call.
Aiman Hamdouna grew up in a driven and creative family in Jordan, where his imagination was allowed to run free and became an unstoppable force that carried him all the way to Melbourne. Whilst studying a Bachelor of Business with a major in Human Resources and minor in Marketing, Aiman worked his way up the ranks in the hospitality industry by turning his role as a dishwasher in a small cafe into a food and beverage attendant at the Hyatt Coolum Resort. Working with event organisers, high profile guests and VIPs gave him a great sense of pride and sparked his interest in event management. Aiman went on to complete an internship as an assistant event organiser and then successfully landed a position on the management committee responsible for organising an event for Coloundra Music Festival. This experience set him on the path to becoming a marketing consultant whose upmost priority is delivering the best outcome for his clients.
Fast forward a few years and Aiman has an impressive list of skills under his belt, including experience in online community management and identifying marketing strategies and messages, which he is now putting into practice in his role as Strategic Marketing Manager at Mo Works. We probed Aiman for a few of his insights so you can get to know the man behind the marketing a little better.
Mo Works: Hi Aiman! What is the role of marketing in a company?
Aiman Hamdouna: A well-constructed and thoughtfully implemented marketing strategy gives great power to a company. It puts your business in the public eye and lets people know you exist, so when they are searching for information to fulfil a need or desire you will be in the running for the job. If you're not there, they won't be able to find you and you'll most likely miss the opportunity. One of the best benefits is that money you spend on marketing and sales should initially return a profit to you, and what is better than utilising a toll that will make you a profit?
MW: How do you keep up-to-date with developments in the marketing industry?
AH: Self-teaching, training and on the job experience are key components to staying up-to-date. Therefore, in addition to completing educational modules such as obtaining my Google Adwords Certification, I always keep myself busy by reading online so I stay on top of new trends, channels and tools. I find most of the strategies we use in the industry are clearly explained online, making them freely available to any marketer, and all you have to do is search for the information.
MW: What is the best marketing practice in your opinion?
AH: In my opinion Integrated Marketing is the way to go because it enables you to recruit all available channels to grow your company. This means using a mix of digital and traditional marketing strategies to get the job done. Traditional marketing channels will work to increase brand awareness and brand loyalty, and should decrease perceived consumer risks such as post purchase regret. It works hand-in-hand with digital marketing, however, digital marketing works slightly differently by attracting ready-to-buy customers and generally converting sales faster.
MW: What is digital marketing?
AH: Digital marketing uses a combination of written content, images and videos to engage consumers through email marketing, search engine optimisation (SEO, both on-page and off-page), and search and display paid advertising. As we speak there is also the new channel of social media optimisation (SMO) emerging, which aims to increase website traffic and conversions. The goals of a digital campaign could be impressions, clicks or conversions, however, I am confident that most marketers would agree that delivering a click is no longer the final stage of the job.
MW: What are the advantages of using digital marketing?
The great thing about the digital marketing tools of this day and age is how insightful they are, delivering us basically any information we need about a target market. We are also lucky that we have a virtually limitless number of channels and the data we have access to is huge, so we can test and analyse any campaign using the accurate reporting systems available. But we have to bear in mind that finding the right content distribution matrix to reach a specific target market for a product or service requires extensive work and research. For example, the B2B digital marketing strategy for a product such as ink toner will be vastly different from a service such as office cleaning, so we need to respect these differences.
MW: How important is social media optimisation (SMO)?
AH: SMO is important because it enables you to use social media to manage your company's reputation, engage the community and most importantly, generate direct sales. The main social media channels to be aware of are Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, YouTube and Google+. These channels hold great selling power, especially the new Instagram and Pinterest ad formats that are designed to support e-commerce. This is exciting because we Marketing Managers are always looking for ways to link social media directly to sales, and we'll have to wait and see if SMO overtakes SEM or whether they will complement each other.
MW: What are you keeping an eye out for?
AH: To be honest, it's not a specific technology that I have taken interest in, but the new audience of Generation Z that I have been reading a lot about. We have to understand them because they are our future audience, and they are coming and coming fast! What we know so far is that they influence their parents' purchases, prefer to shop online, use social media as a research tool and can multitask on 5 screens. Their attention spans are shorter than we are used to, and they are the ultimate consumers of social media. How well we perform in the marketing space in the future will greatly depend on how we can cater to this new breed of consumers.
MW: What advice would you give to a business who is looking to outsource their marketing?
AH: If they are thinking about outsourcing their marketing then I'd say that they're on the right track. It doesn't make sense to hire an in-house team when you can use a specialised team that are experienced in the area, and may complete the job more efficiently and effectively. One word of advice I do have is to choose your team wisely. Make sure you ask the right questions before hiring an external team, such as whether their company culture matches with yours, and whether they have all the specialists you need which may include designers, copywriters, marketing strategists, data analysts and technicians.
MW: What do you love about working at Mo Works?
AH: Mo Works Creative Agency has an awesome business model and culture because what matters above all else is our passion. Being part of such a driven team is so fulfilling and exciting, and the best part is that this is only the start of the journey and I look forward to the challenges to come.
Thanks for chatting to us Aiman, now get back to work! Hehe.
There's a lot more wisdom where that came from, so head to our Marketing page for more information about how we can draw up an effective marketing strategy that's tailored specifically to your business.

So today was weigh day for the first time since I've started my new eating plan and excercising. I've lost 1.4kg so far. Rudi has lost 1.8kg in the same period of time.
I am a bit annoyed that he lost more than me despite the fact that he drank BEER and COKE on Wednesday night and drank on the weekend. Not only that when we went to the Spur last night he enjoyed chips, onion rings and a burger while I had a slimmer's steak with green salad. He also didn't walk with me on Saturday.
It's SO unfair that men lose weight faster than women and don't have to work so hard at it. Even though they aren't really pressured to be 'thin'. I know. I'm competitive. WHATEVER!
I'm not going to let that get me down though and I'm going to keep on keeping on. We've decided that we're going to take Valentine's Day off for dieting and going to eat out and eat whatever we want. I look forward to it!

Bank hold up at Wells Fargo on Shelton's Coram Avenue
Two or three men reportedly held up the Wells Fargo Bank at 320 Coram Ave. around 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 10.
The suspects are described as black men — one dressed all in black, one wearing a gray hoodie. They fled on foot, according to police radio.
One witness told police there were three suspects who ran toward Cornell Street.
"We have no comment at this time. It just occurred not too long ago," according to police dispatch. Officers are still investigating on scene.
The branch is in downtown Shelton, between Center Street and City Hall on Coram Avenue.
More information will be posted as it becomes available.

This is my first go making a strip with Magiq, a new and pretentiously spelled comic program. There are some things I like, and others I really don't. We'll see how it works out.
Okay, in between this paragraph and the last I've had to remake the strip, because Magiq exports the image file with the same name and extension as the program file, overwriting it and then being unable to open the image it's just made. That's a bad design.
Not that any of this should mean anything to you, the worst case is that I keep on the way I've been doing things, and that's no problem. I still have 29 days of demo left and if I can get used enough to the dumb things be able to better appreciate the smart ones, then great. If not…? No real harm done, I suppose.

Jimmy Choo's I Can Afford
June 18, 2009 at 9:54 am 2 comments
It's everywhere on the net today, but I feel like sharing it anyways. Actually, what I really want to do is scream it to whoever want to listen and hope that I can get a hand on those shoes early. The only good thing coming out of the recession is the new Tamara Mellon collaboration with H&M. On November 14 all of us with access to one of the 200 H&M's (and the will to fight, scratch, kick, punch and slap for a pair of shoes and bag) will get their hands on one of these. I can't wait for them to come out!

Images to follow but the LBT is coming along well. The motor had its tails cut down (protecting the inside from stray bits with masking tape) and the wheels were assembled using the vice technique. Then the worms were reamed slightly to fit the layshaft and all installed. A few drops of 603 and then the test. All works fine. A little noisy but it needs to be oiled yet.
The body has also come on including cab details and the construction of the driver too. The buffer beams and cab roof remain to be fitted but all looks good.

Killer Inside Me director swaps
Not only has the director been swapped again for the big screen adaptation of The Killer Inside Me from Jim Thompson's novel (Amazon.co.uk / Amazon.com), which I enjoyed reading, but there's a new name associated with the casting, and I think it's a better choice for the lead than Casey Affleck.
I don't really want to go into the plot just yet because the film version may change slightly and make the non-novel reveal into a big plot twist. So on with the casting and director story.
The word is that Elias Koteas has joined The Killer Inside Me, according to Bloody Disgusting, and joins Casey Affleck and Jessica Alba. I so hope that Koteas is going to be playing Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford, or the film equivalent of the novel's lead anyway, because judging by his previous performances he could really get that character.
For me Affleck is far too young for the role, but I fear he's the lead already, especially considering that Alba is on board, presumably as the love interest.
Anyway, they also have the news that the director has been changed again, this time to Michael Winterbottom, and what that says to me is that the production is stepping up a few notches. Previously we heard that the original announcement of Marc Rocco was incorrect and the producer was trying to get a retraction from Variety for the story, in fact he was talking to John Curran.
Regardless, Michael Winterbottom is now on the case and there's an interesting line up of names beneath him now.
One thing is very clear, Jessica Alba is trying to beef up her acting resume and trying to do more than just prance around in penguin pants. Oh I miss Dark Angel, I really do. Can't they make a film version of that?

text: MARKS & SPENCER has landed itself in trouble with church leaders after asking celebrities to sum up the meaning of Christmas in three words for their latest television advert. The likes of ** Zoe Ball, ** ** Amanda Donahoe, ** ** Julian Clary ** and Olympic gold medallist ** Steve Redgrave ** all star in the ad, but since none of them mention Jesus in their answer, M&S has been accused of ignoring the true significance of the festive season. Former Coronation Street actress ** Angela Griffin ** generated the most indignation by defining Christmas with the words "last minute shopping". A spokesman for the Church of England later accused M&S of exploiting Christmas for advertising purposes. "It is wrong and gives out the impression that Christmas is just a materialistic event and denies the true religious meaning," he tells this morning's * Daily Express. * "To have the phrase last minute shopping to sum up the Christmas period is completely unacceptable. To very many people the most important meaning of Christmas is its religious significance in celebrating the birth of Christ. Three simple words which should sum up Christmas are 'Christ is born' but sadly Marks & Spencer has chosen to ignore that." (18 December 2001, AM)

It's half term week and my house is full of teenagers. I have been very much alone in my stand on the Brand/Ross issue.
I had to pull the car over last night to give a radio interview whilst four of them glared at me in the rear view mirror. If looks could kill I would have croaked it before I got to the end of the first sentence.
I tried to justify my position as I started up the car and was accused of trying to dumb down creativity. I explained that I was all for freedom of speech, as long as I wasn't paying £140 per year for it to offend me.
Silence from those who have never bought a TV licence and until that moment, didn't know how much one costs.
All has changed this morning as I walked into the sleep-over bedroom, a gaggle of girls laid on the bed huddled around my daughters lap top looking up the transcript and the Brand/Ross interview.
Sophie was the first to crack, an unusual occurrence!
"You were right Nadine" she said to my back as I left the room (defeat is so much easier minus eye contact). "They have been really disgusting and awful and we shouldn't be paying for that."
The rest chimed in with support.
Looks like I'll live to cook another slap up breakfast then!
Mmm, who has won here exactly?

#76 Role of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of the pancreatic and hepatic lesions
Introduction: Contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) is a new promising tool for the characterization of pancreatic lesions. This technique allows for highlighting the micro-vascularization of a lesion, especially with the use of second generation contrast media, characterized by harmonic responses at low acoustic pressures. Pancreatic endocrine tumors (PET)s were reported to have a peculiar behavior at CEUS, consisting of a higher enhancement compared to normal pancreas in the arterial phase and a rapid washout.

#1042 The Challenge of Differential Diagnosis of Solid Pancreatic Lesions in Von Hippel-Lindau. Case Report
Introduction: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) is an hereditary syndrome, characterized by a predisposition to develop benign and malignant tumors. Pancreatic involvement is present in 35-70% of cases and include cystic (simple cyst, serous cystoadenoma, mucinous tumor or IPMN) and solid lesions (neuroendocrine neoplasm (NEN), metastatic mass or pancreatic adenocarcinoma). Finally, a solid-type serous cystoadenoma (SSCA) has been reported. Differential diagnosis of these lesions may be difficult.

The Ozark Turkey Drop
Since 1945, the people of Arkansas have flocked once a year to the little town of Yellville deep in the Ozark mountains. The great attraction of this otherwise unremarkable community is its annual sporting event - the Turkey Drop.
Turkeys are tossed from a small, low flying aircraft to glide down to Yellville's central square, where the locals stand ready to give chase. By tradition, the plane swoops several times over the little town, and with each swoop, a turkey is released. The event ought to be a graceful and exhilarating affair.
Unfortunately, it has not always proved to be so.
Turkeys are not very good at flying and they are not very sharp-witted creatures. With melancholy regularity, they plummeted to their deaths or sustained fearful injury.
In the 1950s, bird-lovers began to object, and the turkey lobby managed to get the rules of the event changed. Instead of dropping live turkeys, the Yellville plane released frozen birds attached to small parachutes - a more humane practice which had unforeseen consequences.
The frozen turkeys, hurtling from the sky, were a menace to property. One smashed through a front porch, destroying the roof. Another badly dented a car. The locals, moreover, had lost the thrill of the chase; the practice of dropping live birds resumed.
Many and various are the horrors which have attended the Ozark Turkey Drop. Once, startled locals saw the first bird fall like a stone, without a single flap of its wings. The man responsible for pushing the birds out of the aircraft had wrung its neck when the unfortunate fowl loosed its own little droppings all over him.
This unpleasant incident was surpassed for grim horror when the local Chamber of Commerce mistakenly bought a batch of turkeys whose wings had been clipped. The discovery was made too late to do anything about it. Not many turkeys survived the 100 foot fall.
In 1981, officials threatened to close down the event, causing much consternation in the Ozarks. Curiously enough, objections had not come from bird-lovers, but from the Federal Aviation Authority which considered the flights over Yellville to be too low for safety. That year, the inhabitants evaded prosecution by using a disguised registration for the 'plane. The subterfuge, however, offered no long-term solution. In 1982 it was decided that the aircraft would swoop down over Crooked Creek, rather than the town square; the drop would be 500 feet.
This worried some of the locals. The Guardian, reporting the whole affair, noted: 'They fear that this will give the turkeys time to rediscover the secrets of flight. The 17 birds in the weekend's drop may then glide into the nearby forests for a life of freedom and happiness.'


text: brassmonkey Posted January 6, 2016 Hi Songbird-- It good to hear that you're doing pretty well in general and have been able to get back to the singing. Sorry to hear about the injured wing. They take for ever to heal right but if you keep up the physio it will happen. A few years ago Monica fell off of a table and broke her shoulder. Took just over a year and a lot of painful work but it's back 100%. Cortisone shots are a temporary fix for pain relief that work sometimes and sometimes cause more pain. They are designed to take the edge off for a week or so, so that the healing process can get going. They help to break the pain cycle. The one I had for my back caused me to pass out at the time I got it and not much else. Now that I think about it most people I know of who have had them didn't experience much relief. I have been taking curcumin, a derivative of turmeric, for my hands and have been having good luck with it as an anti-inflammatory, might be worth a shot. It took several weeks to really kick in. 0 Share this post Link to post
