Dianabol is a fast acting steroid, raising questions about the best time of day to take Dianabol.
According to some experienced PED users, ダイアナボルを取ってください。 10 mg 4 1 日に数回 (40 mg total) と 4-6 hours in between doses is the way to go.
In all of the cycle suggestions you come across, performance users recommend starting low and increasing once it is clear the body can tolerate the potency of the steroid.
The exact time of day isn't felt to be critical, but a lot of users take this steroid on an empty stomach in doses that are split and spread throughout the day because of its short half-life.
Bodybuilders who take Dianabol are exposed to a number of risks to their health and well-being.
These include potential legal troubles, wasted money because of counterfeit product, and dangerous side effects like cardiovascular disease and liver damage.
これらの理由から, natural bodybuilders advocate natural steroid alternatives like D-Bal, which seek to mimic the effects of Dianabol without the legal or health risks. ここでは、オンラインでD-バル購入.
Dianabol is a potent oral anabolic steroid which is known to harm the liver with long-term use and is thought to be best administered for performance purposes in short cycles of 4-6 週間.
The drug is administered daily, and the daily dosages are sometimes split up throughout the day to try and maintain consistent blood plasma levels of the drug all day.
Exactly when you take Dianabol, or whether you take it before or after a workout, is not held to be important.
What performance users do stress is taking dosages 4-6 時間間隔. This is because Dbol has a half-life of 4.5-6 時間.
Half-life is the total time a drug remains active in the body. It is the time it takes the body's metabolic processes to reduce the drug to half in your system.
Some physique builders also swear by the method of taking Dbol on an empty stomach.
A daily dosage schedule for a 30 mg Dianabol dosage per day might look like this.
Some bodybuilders might shift this Dbol dosage timetable up, allowing them to take their Dbol before bed.
Bodybuilders suggest taking Dianabol to either kick-off an on-cycle or to help push through a plateau.
、 "サイクル" is the period when you are taking steroids. A plateau is a period during a cycle when a bodybuilder is unable to increase weight. They may feel muscle fatigue.
いずれの場合で, the steroid is used to help rapidly bulk muscle.
Some Physique builders suggest using Dianabol in the first four weeks of a bulking cycle by starting with 20 mg a day divided into a morning and afternoon dose.
After the first week of this cycle plan, the dosage is often increased to 30 mg a day for weeks 2 宛先 4, and the daily dose is split into 3 portions.
Bodybuilders commonly report gaining an average of 15-20 pounds with just a few weeks of use. Some of the weight gains will be from water retention.
When including Dianabol in a cycle with steroids, bodybuilders suggest that it is included as one of the drugs in the first weeks because it will deliver a burst of power that can be carried the rest of the way with Testosterone.
Sometimes this is referred to as priming or "kick-starting" the bulking period.
Bulking cycles can last many weeks, but because of its high hepatoxicity Dianabol cycling ends after 4-6 週間.
Plateaus are a very frustrating part of bodybuilding.
Introducing Dianabol as a reinforcement in the last weeks of a cycle when the body is showing signs of having adjusted to the increased muscle mass is said to reinvigorate the bodybuilder to push through with new intensity.
The introduction of this steroid can also increase the nitrogen in the blood levels and feed the muscles better helping them to grow instead of staying in the plateaued state.
Dianabol is both an anabolic and androgenic steroid.
It increases male characteristics similarly to Testosterone, and enhances nitrogen retention feeding the muscles so that they can bulk up.
このため, many refer to Dianabol as "the King of oral steroids."
Dianabol is also held to be effective in boosting a bodybuilder's power at any point in a cycle as it increases red blood cells production.
The steroid feeds the muscles when it binds to and activates the androgen receptors in target muscle cells. Users often report that the effects of taking Dianabol can be seen and felt within a few days.
Bodybuilders recommend starting with a 10-20 mg a day divided between 2-3 用量.
の半減期を有します 4.5-6 hours reported, splitting doses throughout the day is done to help keep blood levels of the drug from spiking or dropping rapidly.
Since Dianabol is hard on the liver, the lower doses throughout the day are also believed to protect the organ from having to filter more substantial amounts of toxins and impurities all at once.
Split doses are also taken to help the blood produce increased amounts of red blood cells through the day to feed the muscles higher levels of nutrients needed to help the muscles grow.
Most bodybuilders do not suggest Dianabol usage for women because it can cause virilization.
Side effects are similar to those of Anadrol. Androgens are an essential part of the development and maintenance of male sexual traits.
Too many androgens in a female body can provoke male secondary sexual traits such as unwanted body hair growth, 声の深化, 陰核肥大.
Side Effects of Dianabol Usage Include:
The bloating and high blood pressure listed can run together due to water retention.
Estrogen spikes can develop which increase weight and give a "パフィー" look due to water retention.
Because the side effects of Dianabol are so severe, most bodybuilders suggest stacking the steroid with products to protect the liver, keep blood pressure from spiking, and maintain adequate levels of testosterone.
Following a Dianabol cycle, post cycle therapy is often used to restore HPTA function and restart endogenous testosterone production.
Crazy Bulk offers a safer alternative to Dianabol that will still provide moderate results for physique builders planning a cycle.
D-Bal tries to mirror the effects of Dianabol.
It is taken to increase nitrogen retention in the muscles. More nitrogen equals more protein retained in the tissues.
Protein feeds the cells and aids the bulking process. D-Bal claims it can help bodybuilders gain in both size and strength rapidly. This safe and legal alternative is also reported to help increase stamina while lifting.
For the best bulking results Crazy Bulk recommends stacking D-Bal with
These alternatives may slow the bulking process slightly compared with steroids. But by choosing these legal options, users avoid medical dangers.
Slightly reduced bulking results is a small price to pay for a healthier body.
Any supplement will be most effective when taken properly in combination with a healthy diet.

Ages: 6 weeks to 12 years
Cherry Creek
Elementary Schools Bussed To:
Prairie Lincoln Elementary Prairie Norton Elementary Stiles Elementary Darby Woods Elementary Holt Crossing Intermediate Galloway Ridge Intermediate Imagine Great Western Imagine Sullivant Columbus Prep Academy
Our center is accredited by the National Accreditation Commission.
We're so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited - nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That's a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here's why.
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America in an effort to offer fee assistance for Active Duty military families and solutions to their child care needs when care at a Child Development Center on the installation is not available.
Elementary School Distance Learning
Healthy bodies, happy hearts, growing minds. We make distance learning easy on your whole family! Our teachers are trained to facilitate safe and dynamic learning experiences online and in-person. Since every school has their own learning plan, we've added flexible enrollment options to meet your family's needs. Whether you choose to enroll full-time, part-time, or before and after school, we're here for you!
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)
In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and develop a healthy relationship with food. Kids in this delightful and delicious program whip up everything from Southwest rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication, and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!
Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)
Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program. From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we have the data to prove it.)
Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with the Spanish language. Music, games, children's Spanish literature, and other tools give children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language for vocabulary and conversational development. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers, colors, animals, family, body parts and pets as well as how to get engage conversationally during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo. Qué pasa?

I am writing in response to Vincent Arcuri's letter in the Dec. 7th issue. Vincent asked Council Member Dromm, "What country allows non-citizens to vote?"
The answer is that in forty-five different countries around the world non-citizens are allowed to vote in local elections, and right here in the United States of America, legal residents in several towns enjoy their right to participate in decision making at the local level as well.
Legal residents from Ecuador can vote in Madrid; Mexicans can vote in Amsterdam, Bolivians can vote in Brussels, Nigerians can vote in Dublin, and Argentineans can vote in Barnesville, Maryland. Brookline, MA just last month voted to allow their legal immigrants to vote, and towns and cities across the country are in the process of joining this movement for the expansion of democracy.
Regarding Mr. Acuri's claim that Dromm is disregarding the laws of our nation by supporting Intro. 410, which nine of his fellow Council members introduced along with him, there is absolutely nothing in the state or federal constitution to preclude non-citizens from voting.
In fact, non-citizens voted for the first 150 years of our history.

SEOUL, South Korea -- The commander of U.S. Forces Korea says the consolidation of the vast majority of American troops to regional hub bases south of Seoul is on schedule for 2016, despite hints to the contrary.
"We are moving out of this place, alright?" Gen. James Thurman told a community meeting last month at Yongsan Garrison in Seoul. "Everybody thinking they're going to be here for years and years to come, I think that's not going to be true."
Construction and preparations for the move at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek are "moving forward now, and I need everybody to understand that," he said.
While elements of the move from Seoul and areas near the Demilitarized Zone could run into delays, the commander said, "In 2016, we're going to be pretty much down there."
Thurman's comments provided a rare glimpse into the status of what are known as the Yongsan Relocation Plan and the Land Partnership Plan.
USFK has for the past nine months declined numerous requests from Stars and Stripes to provide an update on preparations for the massive move and detail what -- if anything -- is running behind schedule. Information has been essentially limited to occasional leaks by South Korean government and military officials and periodic features about ongoing construction of facilities at Camp Humphreys on the Armed Forces Network.
There are 28,500 U.S. troops stationed on more than 100 bases stretching from the DMZ south to the port city of Busan. Plans call for consolidating the troops onto fewer than 50 bases, with the majority stationed in regional hubs in the areas around Pyeongtaek/Osan and Daegu.
The vacated bases will be turned over to South Korea, and municipal officials in those areas have grown increasingly impatient because they have plans to develop the properties once the U.S. troops are gone.
For example, Dongducheon officials have complained about a media report that the U.S. military is lobbying to leave the 210th Fires Brigade behind at Camp Casey when troops are consolidated.
In nearby Uijeongbu, officials have expressed concerns about the Pentagon's open-ended announcement in October that the 23rd Chemical Battalion was moving back to South Korea, initially to Camp Stanley in Uijeongbu, then to Camp Humphreys once facilities there are ready.
The massive move south is part of a multi-faceted plan to give the South Korean military a higher profile in the defense of its country. It is scheduled to take place after the 2015 transfer of wartime operational control to the South in the event that hostilities with North Korea heat up.
The construction of housing, schools and medical and recreational facilities on bases south of Seoul has long been considered a key element in the U.S. plan to allow more troops to bring along their families to South Korea, allowing for longer tours and greater stability among the ranks on the peninsula.
Servicemembers have historically served one-year unaccompanied tours here. In 2008, the military announced it planned to eventually make about half of the billets command-sponsored.
By 2010, the number of command-sponsored troops had more than doubled, from 1,800 to 4,400, but the influx of families has since stalled at about that level because the existing infrastructure on U.S. bases is maxed out.
Almost a year ago, Thurman told Congress that the Department of Defense could not afford tour normalization, and he was "content to remain at the currently authorized 4,645 command-sponsored families."
In early January, USFK reiterated that in a statement saying, "Tour normalization is not affordable at this time," leading to speculation there could be yet another postponement to the base consolidation plan.
The massive move was initially scheduled to happen in 2008, but the target date was moved to 2012, and eventually to 2016.
At the Yongsan community meeting in January, Thurman pointed out two units have already made the move south, or are in the process of moving.
"I keep hearing that we're not moving and all that," he said. "That's not true. I need everybody to understand this place is going to move."
Referring to a potential change to the original consolidation plan, he said a 200-person residual force will be left behind in the capital because, "Whoever's in this job needs to stay here in Seoul.
"I do business in Seoul," Thurman said, explaining that would be difficult if the USFK commander were based to the South, given that "every two or three weeks you get a crisis of sorts around here."
"We're working through that right now," he said.
When the construction and expansion work is done at Camp Humphreys, planners are promising a base that is part college campus, part small town.
According to a video posted last summer on YouTube, most families will be within walking distance of schools and child development centers. The base's central park area will feature a bicycle and pedestrian corridor.
"The downtown shopping area creates a familiar hometown feel," according to the video. "Soldiers stationed here can experience all the comforts of home while protecting freedom in Northeast Asia."
Seoul officials have said they are looking forward to developing the Yongsan Garrison property into a world-class park in the center of the city, akin to New York's Central Park.
"It will have a major impact on the ecological and cultural aspects of the lives of Seoul's residents," an official with the city's Urban Planning Department said.
In Pyeongtaek, an official with the city's U.S.-South Korea Cooperation Department said residents are divided over the consolidation of American troops there given the economic boost it will give the city and the increase in crime that will likely accompany the move.
"I think half the people like the relocation, and the other half hate it," he said.
Stars and Stripes' Yoo Kyong Chang contributed to this report.

With the term rigorous methods, I refer to cryptography and formal methods (there are others, I don't mention).
I use both kinds of methods to reach security and privacy goals.
Both areas have in common that they establish security properties with respect to a system model, adversary model, security specification and proof methodology.
Other Interests: [Information Security] [Identity & Privacy]
Let's have a crude and certainly incomplete comparison of their methods.
I'm mostly considering asymmetric cryptography (cf. [Menezes1996] and [Goldreich2007]) and then mostly primitives close to anonymous credential systems.
Formal methods is a wide field, whereas I'm only looking at the analysis of security and privacy properties of protocols and systems (cf. [Ryan2000]).

In the colorful world of Nintendo's Mario franchise even the tortured spirits of the undead are cute and cuddly. Let's see how they react to a real restless torture spirit.
Well that didn't go well. This is why you never hire someone supremely overqualified for the position. They'll do the job so well it never needs to be done again.

Consider a path of length 3. Any graph G which contains this graph as a minor must also contain it as a subgraph. For paths of any length this is easy to prove.
In general this happens for any graph in which each connected component is either a path or a subdivision of the claw grah. (The claw graph is the star graph on 4 vertices, or the complete bipartite graph $K_{1,3}$.)
Does anyone know where I can find a proof of this fact? I know how to prove it, but if it has already appeared in some book/paper, it's easier for me to cite the result instead.
I am also interested in the following more general question, whose answer I do not know: How does one characterize sets of graphs H={H1,H2,...,Hk}, such that containing any of the Hi as a minor is equivalent to containing some graph from a finite set G={G1,G2,...,Gm} as a subgraph. In other words, for which sets H is H-minor containment equivalent to G-subgraph containment for some finite set G. (Note that this is trivial if we allow G to be infinite.)
For example, containing any graph from the set {path of length 3, claw} as a minor is equivalent to containing any graph from that set as a subgraph. As a non-trivial example, containing any from from {path of length 4, cycle of length 3} as a minor is equivalent to containing one of {path of length 4, cycle of length 3, cycle of length 4} as a subgraph.
Edit: For the single graph problem, I think I have stated a complete characterization of such graphs. I only wish to know if this appears in the literature somewhere. For the second problem I do not know a characterization (other than some special cases), and would welcome any information about the problem.

Back in May, Strikeforce and Bellator vet Rudy Bears returned home to Kansas City for an intriguing bout with fellow Missouri middleweight Darryl Cobb at Titan Fighting Championships 18.
If you like slugfests, this is the fight for you.
In this week's installment of HDNet Fights Video Vault, we present the full fight video.
Each week HDNet and MMAjunkie.com release a new and exclusive fight from
the ever-growing HDNet Fights video library. Stunning knockouts, slick
submissions, shocking finishes and legendary brawls are the norm for
this weekly feature.
Bears vs. Cobb is no exception.
Bears (12-7 at the time), who moved up a weight class, entered the middleweight fight as the favorite and looked to snap out of a tough 2-4 skid, which included a four-fight run in Bellator and a Titan Fighting 16 loss to Jason High. Cobb (6-2), meanwhile, had recently snapped a five-fight win streak and looked to get back in the win column against a high-profile opponent in an HDNet-televised bout.
Would Bears dazzle in front of a hometown crowd, or would Cobb play the role of spoiler?
Check out the embedded clip for the answer.

President Obama's "Ask Me Anything" on Reddit drew more than 5 million views, and now Vice President Joe Biden is going to try his hand at a different newfangled social-media real-time electronic telegraph technology.
In an event dubbed a "Fireside Hangout," the vice president will be hanging out in Google+ starting at 10:45 a.m. PT tomorrow to discuss the recently released White House policy recommendations on reducing gun violence in the wake of a downright awful 2012 that was plagued by a number of mass shootings in the United States.
Joining Biden for the 30-minute Hangout will be social-media gurus Guy Kawasaki and Phil DeFranco, with Hari Sreenivasan from "PBS NewsHour" moderating. Hmm, wonder if Biden really knows what he's got himself into this time?
You can join the Hangout via the White House Google+ page or YouTube channel. It will also be streamed on Whitehouse.gov.
Judging by the agenda for the Hangout, I'm thinking this is not the time to appeal the recent White House response to the popular petition to build a real-life Death Star. Good news is that Google says Fireside Hangouts will continue with other members of the administration, so perhaps save it for the new defense secretary.

How long has it been since I've made out with a women! The trauma of my past as stopped me from any growth of interest in anything other then dealing with the nightmares inside me! Making out with women is a state of independence! I can feel it, or start to feel it; it means Im free in the present! and Im not their yet!
Im starting to see myself making out with women; altho I dont know how this is going to happen; to step back into life and be that free! I really dont know; when Im trapped with the trauma of my past within me; dissociatively!
I have tower with the universe for quality women to show up.
quality women showing up; I have to work with the universe to either attract them or be in the right place for them to find me! I have to be a quality person; that I am; I am a quality person! But not a fake; I cant be a fake; Have to be myself and then attract intelligent people around me!
I have allot of work to do with the universe!
IVe had women at the meetings like me; but they never show up anywhere else! I never see them anywhere else! I dont want to pick women up at the meetings! and I have the sick sinister feeling about them; their not thinking about me; only themselves; I can tell this by many examples! they are searching to get fed! They are not interested in me! and their not interested in their children; and they continue to be in relationships as before; nothing has changed; they find a new man; have a new set of children by that man and then things fall apart; of course it has nothing to do with them; and they never mention the condition of the children; only that their own lives are hurting; they mention nothing about the damage of the child because their is no mother; its ######6 sickening! People like this should get 20 years in the prison system! no conscious! and most of the time; Im dealing with women who have no conscious! In fact; my next soulmate search; meaning; when I reach out to source energy; should include as the main theme; a conscious; and see who I attract!
What am I looking for in a women; An Asian-soulmate from Hawaii with a conscious!
Im looking for a decent person of quality! Im a decent person; but a messed up person; Im scared because Im afraid others will not see my quality; they will judge me by my economic limitations! So; why bother! However, Im understanding that its more about trusting the universe!
I have to work with the universe! This is where the fear is; its the universe that I do not trust; I see the universe as my mother the psychopath; and I see the universe as my father the sociopathic potential serial rapist; thats who I think is answering me every-time I reach out to the universe!

Let's Make Pumpkin Mug Cake!November 14th, 2012 | by Sarah
Posted In: Comic
So, I had no idea that easy, quick microwave mug cakes were a thing until I saw this guest post on Lucy Knisley's tumblr, by Lani Fernance. Since then I have made at least five mug cakes, because they are SO EASY.
I haven't tried this one yet, but it seems like it'd be just delicious. It's also a super easy recipe to convert to paleo and vegan. I still have a cup of the acorn squash I roasted left over, and it's highly likely it will end up becoming toasty warm mug cakes!
PS. I'm tired of pumpkin recipes. I mean, I'm not really tired of pumpkin recipes, but I'm tired of using this color scheme. I'll do one more pumpkin recipe! I'm thinking the pumpkin shrimp curry, how does that sound? Then we can move on with our lives.

If I hadn't seen Giada make these delicious cookies on The Food Network, I would have never made this recipe. I thought it just sounded strange- a ricotta lemon cookie? But after I saw her make them I knew this recipe was a winner. So I got out my Kitchen Aid and started baking. And the cookies were fantastic. The ricotta cheese gave the cookie a fluffy inner texture, and the glaze with the lemon zest in it really looked very pretty.
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 (15-ounce) container whole milk ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 lemon, zested
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the large bowl combine the butter and the sugar. Using an electric mixer beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating until incorporated. Add the ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat to combine. Stir in the dry ingredients.
Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Spoon the dough (about 2 tablespoons for each cookie) onto the baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges. Remove from the oven and let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 20 minutes.
Combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small bowl and stir until smooth. Spoon about 1/2-teaspoon onto each cookie and use the back of the spoon to gently spread. Let the glaze harden for about 2 hours. When cookies are cool they can be frozen, but make sure glaze is fully hardened.

Help us build a better Appalachia by giving the region's young people a brighter future!
Our founder, Alice Spencer Geddes Lloyd, realized that a strong education was necessary for the Appalachian people to create economic growth and a better future. What greater investment could one make? By planning a gift to us, you will not only have an impact on the lives of our students, but also on the number of other lives that theirs will touch. Your gift is priceless, because it will not only change lives, but it will also work to shape the future of an entire region. The only thing preventing Appalachian students from gaining the promise and power that a high-quality education affords is an opportunity. Alice Lloyd's tuition guarantee gives them that opportunity. Will you help us?
What is a planned gift?
June Buchanan, co-founder of Alice Lloyd College, once said, "Put us in your will, and we'll pray you live forever!"
Many philanthropic-minded men and women include among their financial plans a program of planned giving to causes and institutions they hold dear — like Alice Lloyd College, for instance — in whose work they believe. Alice Lloyd College has received many thoughtful gifts from friends who give because they believe in our work, but who also realize that through careful planning they can achieve tax advantages that will cause their gifts to have even greater impact for the receiving organization as well as family.
Perhaps you are one of those philanthropic-minded people who have helped Appalachian students attending Alice Lloyd College, and you are now considering a "planned gift" to continue your support even after you are gone.
A planned gift is making a decision to set aside some of your monetary assets to become a future gift — usually a generous amount that would not be feasible during your lifetime — to a charitable organization such as Alice Lloyd College. Ultimately, a planned gift comes through some vehicle of estate planning: a will bequest, a trust fund, a life insurance policy, or a charitable gift annuity. Find out more about these types of gifts here.
Planned Giving Assistance
We would be happy to discuss personally with you the variety of planning opportunities which can benefit you today while impacting the lives of Alice Lloyd College and June Buchanan students tomorrow.
Questions? We have several booklets and sample documents that we would love to share with you. Please contact:

SMF 2.0.17 has been released! Please update. Read more.
But it's not a completely new version and calling it 3.0 is mispresentative.2.1's theme is an evolution on top of 2.0's, so much so that it is literally called 'Curve 2'. I also suspect that someone will remake the 2.0 theme for 2.1 with all the goodies and shiny things like much improved mobile support (like 2.1 already has out of the box and that 2.0 can't do with its current theme)2.1 is also built directly on top of 2.0, in a way that a 3.0 wouldn't be.Though I find it interesting that the look is the only comment, and not any of the new features, like draft posting, or alerts, or new CAPTCHA to improve registration or... but that your only observation is how it doesn't look like something that was designed 10 years ago and was already out of date when it did finally appear in the first place.
Anyway, maybe someone can tell where people can see currently % how much till finish Beta3? I'm not asking for date.
No hack nor blackhats, just persistent asshats.
It's 1% left and it has been that for 1,5 month.https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/milestones
99.9%. We want to get our 2.0.14 first and then shipping Beta 3 is next in line.
99.9%. We want to get our 2.0.14 first and then shipping Beta 3 is next in line. There has been a lot of good progress and we are nearly there. Hang tight.
Beta3 is now 100% complete: https://github.com/SimpleMachines/SMF2.1/milestonesDoes that mean that it is finished and no issue will be added??

The series also features two-time Emmy and three-time Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin as top network executive Jack Donaghy and Emmy nominee Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan, the unpredictable star of Lemon's variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." Lemon constantly has her hands full, juggling corporate interference from Donaghy and off-the-handle star antics from Jordan, all while attempting to salvage her own personal life. Also rounding out the cast are three-time Emmy nominee Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney, the co-star of "TGS"; Scott Adsit as the variety show's producer Pete Hornberger; Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer as Kenneth, the over-eager and effortlessly endearing NBC page; Judah Friedlander as Frank, the sardonic slacker on the writing staff; and Keith Powell as Toofer, the sophisticated yet sarcastic, Harvard-alum writer. "30 Rock" has welcomed an impressive array of guest stars, including Elaine Stritch, who garnered a 2007 Emmy Award for her performance as Jack Donaghy's mother and Tim Conway, who won in 2008. Other Emmy-nominated guest stars include Alan Alda, Jennifer Aniston, Will Arnett, Elizabeth Banks, Steve Buscemi, Margaret Cho, Matt Damon, Edie Falco, Carrie Fisher, Jon Hamm, Steve Martin and Rip Torn. Throughout the seasons, "30 Rock" has garnered 90 Emmy nominations, resulting in 14 wins. In 2009, the show won its third consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series and also held the record for most comedy program Emmy nominations in a single year with 22 nominations.

Stock investors who watched the Dow drop by nearly 50% between August of 2008 and March of 2009 were put to the ultimate risk tolerance test. As they saw their retirement dreams dissolve with their account balances, individuals pulled record amounts of money out of equity mutual funds. According to the Investment Company Institute, net equity fund flows were minus $28 billion in January 2009, minus $29 billion in February and minus $25 billion in March. A lot of equity investors freaked out during the great recession. And they paid for it big time.
Much of this money flowed into money market funds. An investor who freaked out and sold $100 in stock in early March 2009 would have earned about a dollar on her money market investments by the summer of 2013. The patient investors saw their stock investment climb to about $244.
This is a boon for those of us who study investor decisions, but it was a nightmare for many advisors and their clients. The great equity market freak-out of 2008-2009 battered the accounts of weak-stomached investors. More resolute investors survived the crisis unscathed. So who bailed and who sailed through the storm? New research provides some surprising insights into which clients might be most likely to stick with their investment plan.
It's hard to anticipate who will abandon their asset allocation policy during a recession. One way is to ask potential clients a battery of risk-related questions. These risk-tolerance assessment tools are a great way to both get the client thinking about the meaning of investment risk and also begin to assess how much volatility they can bear. Texas Tech graduate student Michael Guillemette and I looked at how questions from a commonly used risk tolerance questionnaire predicted whether someone shifted investments to cash during the Great Recession.
We find that questions that measure loss aversion are good predictors of cashing out stock investments. Examples include whether someone focuses on the possible losses or the potential gains from a risky opportunity. If you dwell on the negative, you tend to react badly when your fears are realized. Loss aversion is different from risk aversion because it predicts that investors will overweight losses (seriously—Daniel Kahneman won a Nobel Prize for, in part, pointing out that people really don't like to lose money). An even better predictor was simply asking people how much risk they've taken with investments in the past. General questions about things like salary risk didn't do a great job of predicting response to a bear market.
Even though risk tolerance questions do predict actual behavior, they're not perfect. Many clients who say they understand that equity investing involves potentially losing money aren't as brave when the losses start getting real. According to Texas Tech neuroscience expert Russell James, this is because who we are when we project our risk tolerance is different than who we are when faced with losses in the present.
"A common behavioral bias is referred to as projection bias," says James. "When you are in a rational 'cold' state, you plan for the future as if you will always be in a 'cold' state." When we make decisions in the present, we're using the rational prefrontal cortex. But when we experience a loss, we tend to use a part of the brain associated with emotion. Since we make decisions about how we will act in the future with a different part of the brain than the one we use when we experience a loss, it's hard to project how our emotional, irrational brain is going to respond.
A client guessing how she will behave when her portfolio takes a dive believes she will be rational in the future. But when the future comes and things start getting scary, emotions kick in. According to James, "when investors actually start seeing their accounts losing massive dollars in a downturn, this triggers the 'hot' state emotions." And when the emotional part of the brain starts firing up, it can take over.
In order to withstand the heat, we have to tamp down our emotions with reason. This can get easier after we've experienced a few bear markets and subsequent recoveries. One might expect that more experienced investors will do a better job of talking themselves down from the ledge. This is exactly what we find when we investigate who shifted their money out of equities during the great recession.
A new study by East Central University professor Chris Browning and me looks at how households over age 55 shifted their portfolios between 2008 and 2010. After correcting for equity market movements, we find that, on average, stock investors in this age group decreased the equity share of their investment portfolio by 12%. This is a particularly important group, since equity ownership is actually much higher among those over 65—mainly because they have more wealth in general.
So who moved to cash during the great recession? Unsurprisingly, wealthier and more experienced investors stuck with their portfolio. We also find that whites were less likely to move to cash than non-whites. Investors with less than a one-year planning horizon freaked out, but long-term investors didn't. In a separate study, Vanguard's Stephen Utkus and his co-author Jean Young found that only about 3% of Vanguard accountholders (who tend to be long-term investors) abandoned stocks between 2007 and 2009.
A strong and unexpected predictor of shifting to cash was a decline in cognitive ability. Browning and I mapped portfolio changes against the decline in cognitive scores during the two year period. Numerical cognition is measured by asking respondents to count down from 100 in units of 7 (93, 86, etc.), and working memory is measured by their ability to recall a list of 20 random words. Those with high numeracy scores were 40% less likely to shift to cash. Higher word recall scores meant respondents were 25% less likely to shift to cash. (See table.) Those whose cognitive abilities are beginning to slip begin to lose their taste for stock volatility.
James isn't surprised that lower cognitive scores might lead to a stock freak-out. "It takes a lot of rational cognitive 'horsepower' to overcome the aversive emotional reaction," notes James. "To the extent that a person has less cognitive strength, overcoming the emotional fear reaction becomes more difficult. This may be of particular concern for those experiencing mild age-related cognitive decline, as the fear emotions may become more difficult to counteract with rational effort."
Reducing the consequences of a big investment loss can also help reduce anxiety. Texas Tech doctoral student Andy Oumtrakool found that retirees with private health insurance and an adequate emergency fund were a lot less likely to freak out about portfolio volatility. This makes perfect sense, but it is also a reminder that insurance can not only put clients at ease but also help them manage investment turbulence. If I know I'm protected against a big unexpected loss, I'm less likely to feel threatened by a drop in my portfolio.
Another thing we can do to help reduce the anxiety of a bear market is to talk with someone else. This is because while we may be thinking emotionally, others can assess our situation using the more rational parts of their brain since it's not their money and they are not experiencing a loss.
That's one of the benefits of using an advisor to help make financial decisions—drawing on someone who's better than you at making decisions that may have emotional consequences that can trigger the less rational thought processes. In a study using the Advisor Impact Survey, professors Danielle Winchester, Sandra Huston and I found that one of the strongest predictors of maintaining one's portfolio allocation was using a financial advisor. Even when we controlled for wealth and investment experience, the use of an advisor increased the likelihood of staying the course by 50%.
Even more valuable than using an advisor was having a written financial plan. The process of writing an investment policy statement forces a client to work with the advisor to select the right mix of risky assets. Setting an investment policy activates the rational part of the brain and links our portfolio with our long-term goals. That's another advantage of weaving investment policy into a written plan—it forces us to extend our investment horizon so we can relax in the face of inevitable swings in the value of risky assets.
We found that the creation of a written plan means that a client is twice as likely to avoid the equity market freak-out. It also gives advisors two powerful tools to manage client anxiety. The first is to remind clients (who presumably were coached about investment risk) that they have an optimal portfolio that is part of a plan. The second is to help them focus on long-run goals so they have an answer amid worries about whether they'll be O.K. after a rough quarter.
All stock investors are going to lose money. Pulling out of stocks at the wrong time can erode portfolio performance and get in the way of reaching long-run goals. While finding the right client helps, finding ways to manage emotions through a well-articulated investment policy statement might be the best way to help clients avoid the freak-out.

Catalogue No: CSAPD12516 tracks - AVAILABLE ONLY FOR DIGITAL DOWNLOAD streaming from our® channel, or listen now on Spotify®:Toyah Live & MoreLive Favourites and RaritiesBack in 1982 we first thought of putting out a Toyah "Best Of" collection. She had a string of hits from It's A Mystery to Brave New World from her then newest album "The Changeling". But the hits only told one side of the story. Toyah (the band) had been gigging solidly for several years before the big breakthrough and had built up a devoted live following. There were songs in the set that had never been hits yet were so crucial in the development of the band that they should be considered as important as chart entries, especially in the eyes of the fans.So we decided to record the last dates of Toyah's 25-date UK tour, at Hammersmith Odeon (now the Labatts Apollo) on July 17 & 18, 1982. The best of these recordings, the chart hits plus the live favourites, are included here. There are live recordings of Jungles of Jupiter (co-written by Toyah and ever present guitarist Joel Bogen with bassist Phil Spalding) and We Are from Toyah's most successful album "Anthem" and Angel And Me which although only just released on "The Changeling" album had already become a centrepiece of the stage show. From the same era came Warrior Rock, previously only available as the B-side of "Brave New World", Toyah's chart hit earlier in the year. Brave New World is featured here along with live versions of four other top ten hits: Good Morning Universe, Thunder in the Mountains, I Want To Be Free plus the singalong It's A Mystery, whose writer, Keith Hale, was the featured keyboard player on the tour. The live line-up was completed by drummer Simon Phillips.But we thought we should surf back through the archives and find some rarities which had yet to appear on CD. So, for the first time in this format, here is Urban Tribesman from the 1981 Christmas EP "Four More From Toyah" (which contained the studio version of the hit Good Morning Universe), To the Mountains High (only available as the B-side of the 7" single remember them? "Rebel Run"), and some earlier live versions of Victims of the Riddle and the old favourites Neon Womb, Danced and Toyah's 'theme song' Ieya. Perhaps most fascinating is Toyah's version of I Believe in Father Christmas, recorded especially for an ITV Christmas Special in 1982 featuring Toyah, Joel and Keith, and unreleased other than on a very limited edition album in 1985.In 1982 we thought we would produce a greatest hits album with a difference. Now, in 1998, we have reproduced the album, digitally enhanced on compact disc, and with bonus tracks, to make that difference again.Chris Rayner

The first tip is so crucial! Researching the company ahead of time will save you lots of frustration down the road. This is especially true if you are looking for telecommuting or flexible work opportunities.
My best suggestion related to this tip is to do a keyword search for the company name AND words like "complaint" or "scam" to see if anything negative comes up. Also, check with the Better Business Bureau website to see if the company is rated. The more research you do before accepting the job, the less frustration you'll run into as an employee.

Nokia has created a cellphone that disassembles itself in two seconds when heat is applied to it, making it easier to dispose of when it becomes obsolete two weeks from now. No, it's not going to be falling apart in your hot little pocket, but if laser heating is applied, the thing literally comes apart, making it easier to recycle instead of the shredding that goes on with current cellphones and small electronics. It's called "active disassembly." According to Nokia:
"The idea is to disassemble a mobile phone by a heat-activated mechanism without any contact. By using a centralized heat source like laser heating, the shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator is activated, and the mobile phone covers are opened. The battery, display, printed wiring board (PWB) and mechanical parts are separated and can then be recycled in their material specific recycling processes. The required temperature for the disassembly is 60-150 C. If it were lower the phone could dismantle by itself, for instance in a hot car, and if it were higher the plastics would melt."
Finally, someone is thinking about what will happen to all these shiny toys after the thrill is gone.
