Presentation Folders are a great way to let customers know you mean business!
Do your custimers percieve you and you business as professional? Do they perceive you as a business that pays attention to detail? Whether you want to believe it or not, a prospective customer is watching your every move and they notice a buttoned-up professional presentation vs. a hodge-podge, disorganized one. They appreciate the extra effort in providing them with well-organized marketing materials.
Organization - You provide your cutomer with a "holder" for the marketing materials you provide them with. This enables them to keep information about you and your company all in one place fro future reference and there is little chance your materials will get lost in the shuffle.
Dynamic Use - Pocket olders can be use for a variety of branding and marketing purposes. You can submit your marketing materials, provide a hardcopy proposal, and provide follow-up paperwork all with one branded piece.
Long-Term Service - Pocket folders literally become file folders for customers. By providing them with a place to keep your information, you will likely stay around the office long after the tri-fold brochure is gone. customers will also use the folders you provide to add future materials they recieve from you.

To address this significant public health concern, the NIH investment into discovery research has contributed to unprecedented opportunities to translate scientific advances into better treatments. Gene therapy and related approaches are an example of opportunities that have resulted from technological advances. However, to evaluate such potentially transformative treatments, researchers, biopharmaceutical companies, and regulators need high quality, natural history data, as well as biological and clinical outcome measures fit for the intended purpose. The absence of such information often represents a bottleneck in therapy development for many rare diseases.
Validation – A process to establish that the performance of a test, tool, or instrument is acceptable for its intended purpose. For this FOA, the intended purpose should be the collection of data in a clinical trial that will be used to determine whether to move forward with the intervention being tested to a later stage trial or for regulatory approval. Applications to this FOA should focus on clinical validation. Biochemical and molecular biomarkers should have substantial data supporting analytical validation collected prior to submission of an application to this FOA.
The proposed studies should have a research question able to be addressed within the defined timeline. The projects should not include clinical trials. If considering clinical trials, then please reference the NCATS website for other open opportunities.
Projects appropriate for this initiative need not be high risk/high reward studies; however, they should advance the field by facilitating clinical trial readiness through the development of missing components that are essential for rigorous clinical trials. Projects should be distinct from those supported through the traditional R01 mechanism and should have a broader scope than those suited for an R03.
1) Those that define the presentation and course of the rare disease (e.g., natural history studies including retrospective projects, and longitudinal or cross-sectional approaches), in ways that are essential for the design of upcoming clinical trials.
This FOA will support applications for testing of biomarkers or outcome measures so that they are ready for use in multi-site studies. Biochemical or molecular biomarkers should include justification that describes accuracy, precision, analytical sensitivity, analytical specificity including interfering substances, dynamic range, and expected normal values. For imaging, radiological, or physiological biomarkers, the justification should provide preliminary data on the accuracy, reproducibility, sensitivity, and specificity as determined by study of a patient cohort (but not necessarily in the same rare disease). An appropriate study could start with a small manageable set of candidate biomarkers, and based on data acquired during the study, be narrowed down to one or a few appropriate biomarkers for use in a clinical trial.
Studies to develop or incorporate patient-reported or patient-centered outcomes.
Studies evaluating the responsiveness of biomarkers or COAs through the observation of patients who are receiving treatment as part of their clinical care.
Applications can request budgets that are up to $275,000 direct costs for the 2-year project period of the award. No more than $200,000 direct costs may be requested in any single year.
Applications may request no more than 2 years.
Need for Clinical Trial Readiness - The Significance section of the Research Strategy should also include a subsection with the heading "Urgent Need for Clinical Trial Readiness". This subsection should describe the need for conducting the trial readiness study at this time. Applicants should describe the clinical trial design issues (e.g., biomarker or COA validation or qualification, data for power calculations, defining inclusion/exclusion criteria, determining the duration of the trial, etc.) that will be addressed by this trial readiness study. Describe the potential impact of the proposed studies in addressing significant needs in the design and increasing the likelihood of success of upcoming clinical trials.
Projects appropriate for this initiative need not be high risk/high reward studies; however, they should advance the field by facilitating clinical trial readiness through the development of missing components that are essential for rigorous clinical trials. How is this project moving the field forward and making a difference for clinical trials?
How likely are the proposed studies to establish clinically validated biomarkers and/or COA measures with well-defined contexts of use, or to fill gaps in understanding the disease natural history that are currently obstacles for the design of upcoming clinical trials?
As appropriate, how clearly does the application describe the COU of the biomarker or outcome measure such that it will enable the design of upcoming clinical trials?
For studies that are ancillary to an ongoing clinical trial or longitudinal study, how will it advance the design of future trials beyond that of the parent study? How will the additional burden of the ancillary study affect the participants in the parent study? How well does the consent obtained for participation in the parent study relate to consent for the ancillary study?
How well characterized are the assays for biochemical or molecular biomarkers in terms of accuracy, precision, sensitivity, selectivity, dynamic range, and expected normal values?
How well optimized and ready for implementation in a multi-site study are the methods for measuring imaging, radiological or physiological biomarkers, and/or COAs?

HV/LP Reopening Strategies Webinar: Your Questions Answered
We have more answers to your cleaning & facilities, staffing, and membership questions.
Rick Caro
Recently, I moderated an IHRSA webinar, sponsored by Zeamo, on the topic of reopening strategies for high-volume/low-price (HV/LP) facilities. We received so many questions during the session that we went back to our HV/LP market experts to answer them. The panelists in the webinar were:
Todd Magazine: CEO of Blink Fitness
Ben Midgley: CEO of Crunch Franchises
In addition to our panelists, another source for this article is Al Noshirvani, chairman of Motionsoft and moderator of a CEO/COO group of 45 leading club companies dealing with the challenges of COVID-19.
Ultimately, attendee questions targeted the following areas: cleaning and facilities, staffing, and memberships. We asked these three industry experts about these areas—and your questions.
During the webinar, it became evident that the challenges for all clubs right now are to reopen soon, create a safe and extremely clean environment, offer the features of the club permitted by local regulations, and communicate that the club is open and available to the local community. The two biggest variables are:
activating current members to start using the club soon after the reopening,
recruiting previous employees right away who may have been furloughed or terminated.
HV/LP clubs have some key learnings as these clubs serve fewer members with bigger physical locations. Take a look at the answers to some questions we didn't have time to answer during the webinar.
Each club now has to meet new county and state regulations and protocols regarding the cleanliness and safe environment for both the members and the facility's employees. Because of the public's sensitivity to the spread of COVID-19, the image of gyms is one of great concern.
Q: Are you asking members to clean equipment? What does the cleaning schedule for staff look like?
Clubs that have reopened have begun social campaigns to display their new, enhanced cleaning techniques and show the elaborate equipment used to clean at intensive levels. These systems do not depend on members as the main source of deep cleaning. The concept is to educate members to clean after each use, but the assumption is that they will not do deep cleaning well.
Many clubs are now going to be using electrostatic handheld and backpack sprayers to disinfect the club. This type of cleaning may be scheduled at several intervals throughout the day. In all cases, this most thorough cleaning process would be done at night when no members are in attendance.
The staff has to be retrained to clean throughout the day—even more so than previously. In many cases, job descriptions have been changed to ensure that all staff from the front desk to personal trainers and managers will be dedicated cleaners. This involves stretching mats, all parts of upholstery on strength equipment, and even the pins on weight stacks. All areas of a treadmill (the deck, the cardio screen, the arms, etc.) would be cleaned fully after each use. Members would be taught to do so.
The goal is to meet U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention regulations and achieve consistent levels of cleaning. This may involve the use of zone cleaning, where equipment and free weights are cleaned by separate areas in a scheduled format. Based on experiences in clubs in Asia, the actual club may be closed to the membership in half-hour time slots to do a thorough cleaning and disinfecting of the entire club.
Q: What are you doing about members that violate the rules?
Some clubs may have a staff person to monitor such behavior and "coach" the member to be responsible for proper cleaning. Some clubs have spent time role playing how to communicate with non-compliant members.
Q: Do you have signage of how to clean the equipment? Are you looking at staff during the day to also clean high-touch areas such as door handles?
Signage should be pervasive regarding cleaning protocols. All users should be made aware of the expectations of members and the processes of the club staff. In group fitness classes, some time slots may be altered, so classes might be shortened to allow a full cleaning of the area, mats, fitness accessories, etc., between classes. The cleaning protocol may extend to even door handles with the use of protective wraps that are disinfecting mechanisms. Air quality may be improved with the installation of UV lighting in the air conditioning systems. Clubs may also post signage to show the last time a specific area was cleaned.
Obviously, clubs now furnish a bevy of hand sanitizers and wet wipes in each area and place near each piece of equipment. More spray bottles are now provided. Some have chosen to even brand their cleaning levels as "XYZ Club Clean," "XYZ Club Standard," or "Member Shield."
Providing confidence to members—and to club staff—is critical at the immediate reopening of a club and onward.
Clubs have had to reorganize their club to meet social distancing rules and local regulations. The concept of how a member uses the facility is radically different, especially in the initial stages.
Q: In addition to cleaning signage, will there be any additional signage throughout the facility?
Many clubs are requiring members to check-in via a mobile app, allowing for a more contactless experience. If there is a keypad and stylus for signing in, a staff member sanitizes them between users. Floor markings have been added throughout many facilities—or even in the outside entryway—to provide visuals on new 6-foot proximity rules.
Q: What are the trends on using a thermometer to monitor staff prior to entering the facility?
In many states, temperature checks or screenings are required. Staff wear personal protective equipment (PPE) to avoid any virus transmission. Frequently, plexiglass shields are created at the front desk to protect the staff.
Q: What does the new member experience look like in your space?
Social distancing is paramount in the fitness equipment area. In the cardiovascular equipment area, many pieces have been moved farther apart. Many are still there but unplugged with a sign indicating it's out of service. Some have even been moved to other areas with greater spacing.
The strength equipment area also needs to be compliant. Some machines have signs of nonuse. Some now supply alternate days if there are no duplicate machines. All users are separated out. The free weights area now may involve fewer benches, some bolted in place to avoid movement and proper spacing. There's signage on how to deal with dumbbells and free weights to limit sharing germs.
In some states, an overall number of users is limited by regulations. This can be monitored by the mobile app for the gym. As regulations ease, the use of the app can monitor the given limits. In many cases, the app will control how many users there can be in a given area, a class or a club service area. This is critical for clubs to comply with strict early limitations and the process of sequential openings of each part of the club.
Q: Should our pool/locker rooms/water fountains be open? What about personal training or group exercise?
Typically, most states have not permitted clubs to open up all of its facilities and services at its initial stage. So, it is likely that group exercise studios, childcare areas, basketball courts, locker rooms, and use of other social areas would be banned until further notice. If a locker room can only be used for its toilet area, it must be cleaned immediately and frequently. Once any of these social areas are open, systems for distancing, cleaning, and hallway traffic must be enforced. For example, many are removing benches in the locker rooms, tying off some of the lockers to create spacing, removing all toiletries on counters, removing towel service, etc. Water fountains are closed off, but water refilling stations are still in use.
Q: Do you think it could be helpful to have a friendly PA system to communicate with your members when they are at the gym, guiding them with the new protocols, making it friendly and lively etc.?
To help teach the members proper behavior, regular announcements are being made throughout the gym, typically through a public address system. In some cases, clubs have taken advantage of turf areas to move equipment around. In a few cases, outdoor space—even in club parking lots—is contemplated for member use.
The initial challenge is to re-engage key club employees who were furloughed or terminated. This is critical prior to opening, as club management has often re-evaluated roles of staff. This certainly involves the critical additional task of cleaning. Some clubs now have created a "generalist" position that involves the combination of duties from the past with additional functions.
Q: Did you have to change your sales stations due to social distancing measures? We asked about staff temperature monitoring, but what about members prior to entering the facility?
The way staff interacts with members has changed, beginning at the check-in point. Members have to be screened for health risks and often—by ordinance—have their temperature checked. Likewise, staff have to also undergo the same screening.
Q: How do we get staff back at the same rate of pay vs. new roles & responsibilities?
In some cases, clubs have maintained the same pay scales, while in others, increases were required. Not all of the staff will return, so many of the staff functions are still closed. So, a plan to recruit needed staff before the expanded set of club facilities will reopen is critical. A proper retraining period will be needed.
Q: Will you provide masks for your staff? If so, are they able to bring their own masks? Should trainers wear masks?
Typically, regulations will require staff to wear masks at all times, including personal trainers and group exercise instructors. This may take some adjustments for them. Many authorities may also require gloves. These will all need to be supplied by the club.
Q: What kind of marketing will be done to retain members and to get new prospects?
Because the initial focus is to bring back existing members as soon as possible, many clubs are not gearing up their marketing function right away to previous levels. There are walk-in prospects, so sales staff will be required to revise their locations in the club, wear PPE, and have a plexiglass shield to separate them over a counter or at a desk. New members will need to be signed up via an app or an electronic signature. The use of paper is limited. Touring of the club needs to be revised and careful to maintain the proper distancing.
Some clubs are finding it difficult to recruit key staff back, due to a variety of factors. This seems to be especially critical for experienced housekeeping and cleaning staff.
Q: What are best practices for the current member coming back? What is the strategy to reduce freezes & cancellations?
The goal is obviously to activate the current club members to start using the club immediately. Some will choose to sit on the sidelines, so continuing to offer virtual content is recommended. Some will be encouraged to simply take seven to 10 days to visit the new experiences of a fitness environment and make a decision. Many will continue to stay on frozen memberships in a few clubs, there will be a deadline for a decision—to activate or cancel. Open houses and special reopening events are planned. More communication with members at this time is highly recommended.
Many clubs are using videos as a tool to welcome members back. They also feature the new, enhanced cleaning procedures in their videos, as well as an advanced peek at the physical changes within the club.
Members are getting instructional messages to use their club's mobile app to check in when they come to the club and for advance reservations where required. This can be for a time slot, for a particular class or activity, for a personal training session, and more. Members are also educated about the need for wearing a mask (either required or recommended by local regulations), the need for being responsible for cleaning after use, the areas not yet available at the club and the new rules and procedures. Sometimes, clubs are providing extensive FAQs online.
Q: For the clubs that have been open what have the attendance/usage look like in compared to pre-shutdown? It's fine that the government has told us to reopen, but what is the customer ready to come back?
Clubs are finding the first few weeks that usage is lower than in the past. This can be attributed to fewer available areas of the club and members' reluctance to return. Sales at some clubs have been initially surprising, because there has been no real marketing going on and because of perceived "pent-up demand." Attrition is high but not as high as owners initially expected. This may be influenced by the lack of new operating history and the large numbers still in the freeze category.
Q: If annual fees were not billed while shut down, will you bill those after reopening?
Normal dues are being charged once the club has opened. Where HV/LP clubs normally charge an annual fee, the imposition of such a fee has been delayed a month after the club's reopening.
Q: How are you doing virtual personal training/classes?
Digital content is still being offered to members for free. In some cases, clubs are adding to it and looking to increase the quality with a future idea of charging for it. Some have created virtual personal training services and are imposing a fee. Clubs are continuing to communicate with members via emails and their website updates. Members are being informed of what is expected of them when they return in terms of conforming to the new club regulations and protocols—with the idea that all is created to protect them. Initially, no new guest passes are permitted in order to protect the current membership.
Club owners are worried about a variety of things such as getting their members back early after reopening, the impact of closures for those whose main interests and activities are not permitted to be open yet, length of time current members stay on freeze, and those who have bought home fitness equipment and benefitted from at-home virtual content. Due to these factors, they are reluctant to gear up the old level of marketing right away.
So, club owners are excited about finally reopening, but perplexed about how the marketplace will behave. Without extensive real data, club owners are concerned about how long the club will take to get back to its previous bottomline given the closure and limited reopening offerings. Club owners are confident in their long-run vision but are not sure of the timeline to get there.

13 Chapter 13 – Alexander the Great
ALEXANDER THE GREAT (p. 74)
Alexander the Great, the king of Macedonia, was a military conqueror. In 331 B.C.E. the whole Persian world
was in his power. Alexander may have passed through
Palestine on his way to Egypt. The historian Josephus
claimed that Alexander visited Jerusalem and paid
homage to the high priest Jaddua, whom he credited
with his victories over the Persian army.
Josephus transmits what must have been an old
tradition regarding early contacts between the Jews and
But when the seven months of the siege of Tyre were
over, and after two months of the siege of Gaza, Sanballat
died. Now Alexander, when he had taken Gaza, made haste
to go up to Jerusalem. Jaddua the high priest, when he heard
that, was in agony and terror, not knowing how he could meet
the Macedonians since the king was displeased at his former
disobedience.
Then God warned him in a dream, which came upon
him after he had offered sacrifice, telling him that he should
take courage, adorn the city, and open the gates; that the
people should appear in white garments, but that he and the
priests should meet the king in the garments proper to their
order, without the dread of any ill consequences, which the
providence of God would prevent. Thereupon, he rose from
his sleep greatly rejoicing and declared to all the revelation
he had received from God, according to which he acted
entirely and so waited for the coming of the king.
When he understood that Alexander was not far from
the city, he went out in procession, with the priests and the
multitude of the citizens. The procession was venerable and
the manner of it different from that of other nations. It reached
a place called Sapha; which name, translated into Greek, signifies a lookout," for you have a view from there both of
Jerusalem and of the Temple. The Phoenicians and
Chaldeans who followed him thought that the king in his
anger would naturally permit them to plunder the city and torment the high priest to death, but the very reverse happened.
For Alexander, when he saw the multitude at a distance, in
white garments, while the priests stood clothed with fine linen
and the high priest in purple and scarlet clothing, with his
miter on his head with the golden plate on which the name of
God was engraved, he approached by himself and bowed
down before the name (of God), and first saluted the high
priest.
The Jews all together, with one voice, saluted
Alexander, and surrounded him, whereupon the kings of
Syria and the others were surprised at what Alexander had
done and supposed him disordered in his mind. However,
Parmenio alone went up to him and asked him how it came
to pass that when all others bowed before him, he should
bow before the high priest of the Jews. He replied to him, "I
did not bow before him, but before that God who has honored
him with the high priesthood; for I saw this very person in a
dream, in this very apparel when I was at Dios, in Macedonia.
When I was considering how I might obtain dominion over
Asia, he exhorted me to make no delay but boldly to pass
over the sea, for he would lead my army and would give me
dominion over the Persians. Since then, having seen no other
in that clothing, and now seeing this person in it, and remembering that vision and the exhortation which I had in my
dream, I believe that I bring this army under divine guidance
and shall therewith conquer Darius and destroy the power of
the Persians, and that all things will succeed according to
what is in my own mind."
When the Book of Daniel was shown him, wherein
Daniel declared that one of the Greeks should destroy the
empire of the Persians, he supposed that he himself was the
person intended. As he was then glad, he dismissed the multitude for the present, but the next day he called them to him
and bade them ask what favors they wished of him, where-
upon the high priest requested that they might observe the
laws of their forefathers and might pay no tribute in the seventh year. He granted all they requested. And when they
entreated him that he should permit the Jews in Babylon and
Media to enjoy their own laws also, he willingly promised to
do what they requested.
Josephus, Antiquities 325-329

2. What changed Jaddua's mind?
3. Who wanted to plunder Jerusalem?

the Jews?

12-Year-Old Scientist Develops a Plan for Stopping Allergies
BY Caitlin Schneider
Iris Gupta knows something about how necessity is the mother of invention. Inspired by a friend's terrible peanut allergy and her own problems with cats, the 12-year-old Maryland resident brought some critical thinking to the issue of allergies. The resulting project landed her a spot as one of 10 finalists at the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge earlier this month.
The Challenge is a nationwide competition for middle schoolers interested in science. The grand prize is $25,000 and an "adventure trip."
Gupta's anti-allergy project was all about stopping allergy symptoms before they start, rather than simply treating them once they've arrived. To do that, the sixth grader proposed injecting or inhaling gold nanoparticles to block histamines that are released when a body comes in contact with an allergen. If the nanoparticles can stop the release, they can alleviate reactions before they begin. The idea still needs to be tested, but Gupta's mentor in the competition, 3M scientist Raha Been, told The Washington Post that she was impressed.
"Allergies really affect the quality of life that people have. It's really important to see the passion that Iris has for solving a problem that can really impact people's lives," Been said.
Watch Gupta's proposal video below and visit the competition site to see all the young scientists who made it to the finals, including overall winner Hannah Herbst.

DA Craig Watkins: Punishment or Treatment For DWI Offenders is a "False Choice"
Robert Wilonsky
Robert Wilonsky | August 20, 2010 | 9:27am
No doubt you caught at least some of The Dallas Morning News's recently wrapped three-part series on Texas's trouble with properly punishing drunken drivers. Probation instead of prison; back behind the wheel instead of behind bars. Says Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins in a missive his campaign sent out this morning, prosecutors are stuck with a "false choice" -- treatment or time, that's that. And, says Watkins, enough's enough.
The whole letter, intended as a campaign fundraiser, follows. But an excerpt before you drink and drive to the jump:
I believe it's absurd that prosecutors and judges are forced to make this false choice. Punishment and treatment shouldn't be mutually exclusive. We know drunk drivers have to get treatment to increase the chances they won't get behind the wheel drunk again. But we should be able to lock up drunk drivers and know they can get that treatment. To make Dallas County safer, we need that to happen. That means lawmakers in Austin have to step up and better fund those programs we know work.
The rest of his thoughts on the other side. But, might as well: Watkins is on a barbershop tour tomorrow. But isn't King of Cutz at 3109 Grand Avenue? Eric Celeste -- still needs fact-checking.
This is what Watkins says in his campaign fund-raiser:
The paper noted that prosecutors would like to send more intoxication manslaughter defendants to prison, but say the lack of substance abuse programs in Texas prisons forces them to pick between punishment and probation with rehabilitation.
Because treatment for drug and alcohol abuse is too rarely an option in the Texas prison system (due to inadequate funding), my prosecutors often find themselves suggesting probation, since that sentence usually includes mandatory drug and alcohol rehabilitation as a condition to completion.
Just look at the statistics: According to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, barely one in five prisoners convicted of intoxication manslaughter who were released in 2009 had undergone substance abuse treatment while in prison. Less than half of those convicted on DWI charges three or more times who were released in 2009 had themselves undergone substance abuse treatment.
I think Texas lawmakers must make more treatment slots available to those in Texas prisons so Dallas County judges and prosecutors don't have to make "all or nothing" choices.

Media Points, 12-14-2003
He was not exactly Thomas Jefferson, but he did have an illegitimate child by a black woman. No, I'm not talking about Bill Clinton, I'm talking about Strom Thurmond. Apparently, about 79 years ago or so, Strom, then about 21, had a bit of a thing with the family maid. About a quarter of a century after that, Thurmond reportedly took legal responsibility for his child, giving her financial support since 1941–though publicly, he revealed nothing.
Apparently, Thurmond was not segregationist about everything, like DNA and stuff.
Nobody needs to tell me that PowerPoint can make you dumb. I teach the darn program to my students, and the first thing I point out to them is how dull, insipid and meaningless those presentations can be if you allow yourself to get boxed in by their style. I don't even teach the templates or ready-made slides, rather I make them begin with blank presentations and slides upon which they much build it all themselves, which helps to foster creativity and diversity in their projects. I also carefully monitor their subject matter, letting them know that not every subject is helped out by a slide show.
While I did not suspect that Bill Gates' bloated program was responsible for the destruction of the space shuttle, I must say I am not too surprised.
Coming back to the U.S. just now, I was of course concerned about the flu, and figured it might not be a bad idea to get shots. Yeah, right–if you're able. Pretty much every last person in the U.S. seems determined to get shots right now, and few if any physicians have any vaccine left. Meanwhile, the media is whipping the public into a frenzy about how many people have the flu and are dying from it. We love to frighten ourselves, don't we?
In lighter news, Dave Letterman and Oprah Winfrey seem to be overcoming their long, simmering feud–all Dave's fault, you gotta admit. I recall one bit many years back when Oprah was losing weight in which Dave introduced a gag game called "pin the tail on the Oprah" which presented an ever-increasing challenge as the 'target' diminished. More recently, Dave has targeted "O" Magazine, as well as Oprah's "former husband," Dr. Phil.
But now, though few take seriously Dave's proposed "Super Bowl of Love" in which Dr. Phil would counsel Dave before Oprah came on stage and the "love would explode." But Oprah, more reasonably, wants Dave to come as a guest on her show (she has, after all, already done his). Dave, very seldom a guest on someone else's show, is not too hot on the idea, saying, "here's what would happen: I would go on the Oprah show and I would break down and sob like a little girl." So time will tell.
That didn't stop Julia Roberts from getting the best of Dave. Having gotten "deeply" married herself, she both congratulated Dave on his new son, and teased him endlessly about not marrying "the mother," as she was then referred to, Roberts noting how inappropriate that sounded. Dave, trying to change the subject, asked Julia how her married life was going. ""You know," she replied. "You're married . . . oh wait, no you're not."
Finally, Josh Marshall points out how completely hollow Bush's promises to crack down on Halliburton's overcharging are. "If there's an overcharge, like we think there is, we expect that money be repaid," he told reporters. Like he cracked down on Enron? Let's see, Ken Lay, Bush's biggest donor, still has his stolen billions, and the shareholders are still out in the cold.
But Bush is serious this time! "[The Pentagon's] investigation will lay the facts out for everybody to see," he said. Just like John Ashcroft's investigation into the treasonous Valerie Plame affair? Marshall is perhaps the only American journalist who is pointing out that a senior White House official is boasting about having buried that investigation.
Despite his current promises to clean things up, there are a few things you can be assured of: Halliburton is doing far worse than is being revealed, Bush's "investigation" will be weak and ineffective, and the press will dutifully forget all about this in a week.
And Marshall points out how this playing: Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz gutted Congress' plans to oversee fraud in the use of the $87 billion Bush demanded for his failure of a war. So if things like overcharging occur with this new cash deluge, we won't know about it, thanks to the Bush administration.
Par for the course.

Islamabad, Jan 11: The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) in collaboration with Higher Education Commission (HEC) has launched USAID Merit and Needs Based Scholarship Programme for the financially disadvantaged students to study Business Administration, Agriculture & Veterinary Sciences, Social Sciences, Medical/Nursing and Engineering & Technology Programmes. Students across the country are strongly encouraged to apply for these scholarships.
There are 31 partner universities/institutions for this scholarship programme. The students can get admission in under-graduate and graduate programmes of participating universities/institutions. The scholarship provides funds for tuition fee, books, transportation, boarding & lodging and other academic costs.
"Sir kindly muje scholarship k liye bata dain social science me."
Rawalpindi: The library of Fatima Jinnah Women University (FJWU) organised a two-day Annual Bookfair within the premises.
The bookfair was inaugurated by acting Vice Chancellor Professor Dr. Naheed Zia Khan.
Speaking on the occasion, she said that bookfair is very important and highly remarkable intellectual activity specifically for the promotion of higher education. It's a regular feature of FJWU and very well organised activity. "We are obliged to the vendors who participated in the bookfair and provided exposure to our students and faculty members who may not have enough inspiration to go to bookshops," she said.
Dr. Naheed Zia Khan called for promotion of the culture of book reading. All educational institutes must arrange bookfairs. She added that it's encouraging to see that students purchased books and faculty recommended books to them in their respective disciplines. Thirteen registered book vendors participated in the fair and exhibited their books.
Prospectus and admission forms for Spring 2014 Semester can be obtained from the sale points of university's main campus in Sector H-8, Islamabad, and country-wide Regional Campuses and Coordinating Offices.
The admission forms along-with prescribed fee can be submitted in countrywide branches of Bank Al-Falah, Habib Bank Ltd, First Women Bank and Allied Bank and in the nominated branches of National Bank of Pakistan and Muslim Commercial Bank. This was announced by Director Admissions, AIOU Syed Zia-ul-Hasnain.
Director admissions said that the admission forms and prospectus of Matric, FA and BA level programmes for Pakistanis in the Middle-East can be obtained/download from website del.aiou.edu.pk of the university. Computerised admission forms have been sent to all the continuing students as well as they can also download the continuing admission form from website www.aiou.edu.pk of the university.
Islamabad: The Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) would set up model tele-study centres at each district headquarter in the country to facilitate its students for the easy accessibility to quality education.
This was decided at a meeting of Special Task Group (STG) on Tuesday under AIOU Vice Chancellor Dr Nazir Ahmed Sangi.
It was also decided that these centres would be electronically linked with the university's main campuses to help students acquire knowledge through video-conferencing and e-learning system.
This arrangement would mainly facilitate students living in the country's remote regions, said the vice chancellor while addressing the meeting.
It was also decided that part-time coordinators and other necessary staff would be appointed to run the study centres. The staff, mainly AIOU's own students, would be engaged under "Earn to learn" scheme.
The vice chancellor briefed the participants about his recent visit to regional offices in Sindh and Balochistan and said that infrastructure network in remote regions was being upgraded to ensure accessibility to the quality education across-the-board.
He said a technical centre would be set up in Gwadar to provide skill-based education to the local people and the Balochistan government had agreed to provide a suitable building for the purpose.
Ten acres have also been acquired to build university's own campus in Gwadar while an information office has been set up there at a girls high school for the time being.
The meeting also reviewed matters related to admissions to new semester, mailing of books and timely declaration of results.
Those who attended the meeting included Faculty of Social Sciences Dean Dr Rashid A Naeem, Registrar Bashir Muhammad Chaudhry, Controller of Examination Dr Hamid Khan Niazi, Director (Admissions) Syed Ziaul Hasnain and Students Affairs Director Mian Muhammad Aslam.
Separately, a group of 12 selected scholars of National University of Modern Languages (NUML) would proceed to University of North Texas (UNT) on January 15 to attend a two-month UNT-NUML Research Fellowship program at UNT, USA.
This was announced during a ceremony where six male and six female PhD and MPhil scholars of English Studies Department of NUML were handed over tickets and health insurance cards by NUML Rector Maj Gen (r) Masood Hasan and Director General (DG) Brig Azam Jamal.
This second cohort of scholars is proceeding to UNT under Research Fellowship Program which is part of a three-year academic partnership between NUML and UNT to boost the research and academic culture in the university. The first cohort consisting of faculty members attended the fellowship programme in August 2013.
Talking to faculty members, Masood Hasan said this would be a golden opportunity for scholars to learn and assimilate latest research and pedagogic practices at UNT and then apply them to their own environment and class.
"Moreover, you would be representatives of your culture, society and nation and it is up to you that how you make them to see your country through your eyes", he added.
Asma Zahoor, a scholar proceeding to UNT, said, "Getting the UNT-NUML Research Fellowship offers me the unique opportunity to continue developing as an academic researcher."
"It will undoubtedly help me cultivate the skills necessary to be a researcher and teacher by interacting with some of the most experienced people in the field of research from the US and around the world," she said.
The scholars, who are at advanced stage of their PhD/MPhil programmes, would conduct their dissertations or research projects under the supervision of American supervisors at UNT. They would observe graduate and undergraduate classes studying research, have extensive interactive sessions, and participate in cultural events under this programme.
Islamabad: The Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) has announced the final results of its matric programme for the Spring Semester, 2013, and placed the results on its website, www.aiou.edu.pk.
AIOU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Nazir Ahmed Sangi pushed a computer button to declare the results. Controller of Exams (CE) Dr Hamid Khan Niazi was also present on the occasion. He said the results cards of the matric programme are being sent by post to all the candidates, and the students who do not receive their result cards by January 15, they should contact the superintendent exams personally or at phone number 051-9057323.
The students can also download their results from website www.aiou.edu.pk.

A HELLISH NOISE, 2015
screenplay, editing: Tatiana Lecomte
camera, sound: Robert Schabus
with Julien Baissat and Jean-Jacques Boijentin
production: Tatiana Lecomte
commissioned by the Bundesimmobiliengesellschaft
in French with English subtitles
Eye-witness Jean-Jacques Boijentin with foley artist Julien Baissat on set, 2014
Insofar as it relates to the crimes of the Nazi era, the culture of commemoration is currently in a critical phase. Soon we will have to go without eyewitnesses capable of entering into a dialogue with younger generations based on their own experiences. Individual narratives of suffering will only be available in categorised, museum-processed form. Keeping memories alive is a historical, political and moral imperative. Finding ways to achieve this today and in the future is a challenging issue, and still unresolved.
This issue has accompanied the artistic production of Tatiana Lecomte for some time. She views existing methods of processing the past with scepticism. The 'strong image', the 'authentic setting' and 'decisive documentation' remain areas of hope for one representation of history intended to engage those born later. So too, the account by one person who experienced those terrible events and survived is intended to engage people with occurrences that are receding deeper into the past.
Jean-Jacques Boijentin is such a person. Born in 1920 in Rouen, in the North of France, he lived as a mechanic in the rural town of Mussidan in the Dordogne. On 16 January 1944 the village was surrounded by the Gestapo and the Milice in retaliation for the shooting of a Vichy spy by the French Resistance. 36 people were arrested, among them Jean-Jacques Boijentin and his father Maurice. They were taken to the Compiègne internment camp north of Paris, and subsequently deported to Buchenwald concentration camp, then to Mauthausen, and ultimately to Gusen in Upper Austria on 11 March 1944. Maurice Boijentin was murdered in Gusen; Jean-Jacques lived to see the liberation by American troops on 5 May 1945 in Mauthausen, and was able to return home to Mussidan. After the war he chaired a society providing support for homecoming concentration camp inmates, and was active until his retirement as an electrician, a film projectionist and the owner of two firework shops. He now lives in a home for senior citizens in the Dordogne.
Gusen concentration camp in St. Georgen an der Gusen (East of Linz) was a satellite camp of Mauthausen concentration camp. Under the codename B8 Bergkristall, prisoners were forced to work on the construction of a secret underground factory for Messerschmitt jet fighter planes. Conditions in the camp were inhuman and working conditions during the day even worse. Jean-Jacques Boijentin worked in the tunnel. His experiences provide the basis for Lecomte's film.
The structure that is accessible to the public today gives no impression of conditions at the time. The artist was particularly struck by the silence. Eyewitnesses talk about the unbearable noise of the heavy machinery employed in the construction of the tunnels. Lecomte sets out to capture this noise on film.
To this end the film moves far from the scene of terror to visit Monsieur Boijentin in France. A second person joins them, a young man called Julien Baissat. The normal allocation of roles — the eyewitness speaking while somebody else listens with understanding — is dispensed with in favour of a working situation where both parties are contributing their own experiences and their own knowledge. Preoccupation predominates over emotional responses, allowing a certain distance to the awfulness of the scenario they are recreating. The reduction to one aspect of the whole situation for the senses shifts the perspective: Memories appear as the action, as a working process, as something to be given a final manifestation, although it is one that always falls short in engaging with what happened. At the same time the artist provides a means of expression beyond words, which invariably rob the unspeakable of its intensity.
Tatiana Lecomte leaves out much of what we generally think of under the heading of 'Commemoration'. Her approach creates an awareness of the sense in and limitations of remembrance without losing sight of the terrible events being remembered. She does not deliver final images but suggests, instead, that we should never cease to make our own picture.

Interviews With People Who Have Interesting or Unusual Jobs
Kameron Bashi, Pharmaceutical Guinea Pig
by Suzanne Yeagley
Q: Your sole income is from participating in pharmaceutical tests. Is that correct?
A: Yeah.
Q: And you are able to make a fair amount of money this way?
A: They usually pay between two hundred and five hundred dollars a day.
Q: How much would you say you made last year?
A: Around $20,000-$25,000.
Q: Where do you find places that pay you to do this?
A: On Craigslist, in the "Etc." section. There will be an ad like: Come try this drug, 100-something dollars a day.
Q: Where do you go to participate in the tests?
A: There are a number of different places where I do these things. Sometimes it's part of a hospital, other times it's in a hospital-like setting.
Q: What is the typical length of a study?
A: I guess three or four days for short ones; longer ones are three weeks. I once did one for 35 days, and that is like the Holy Grail of studies, because they pay so much.
Q: What do your friends think of this?
A: They think it's great.
Q: Are they jealous?
A: They might be a little, but I don't drink or smoke or do drugs. All of my friends smoke weed, so they couldn't do this. You also can't have caffeine, chocolate, and, for some reason, grapefruit.
Q: How does a test work?
A: They give you a physical, take blood, blood pressure, urine.
The first test I did was for athlete's foot. Most tests are for more serious conditions, though, like HIV, cancer, or diabetes.
Q: So you put the lotion on your foot and then what happened?
A: Athlete's foot was a pill. Each drug is different, but it's almost always pills. I was injected once, and had intravenous once, but it's usually a pill.
Q: Is there a chance you'll get a placebo?
A: Yeah. For each test, there are about 10 people, and two will get the placebo.
Q: So you take a pill and then they monitor you?
A: Yes. You might take the drug once, or every day for weeks.
Q: Are you hooked up to machines?
A: Sometimes. Usually you take the drug and they watch you for an hour or two. They make sure you don't go to the bathroom, because you might try to throw up the pill.
Basically, then you talk to people, watch TV, that kind of thing. You see the same group of people all the time. I've seen the same people for the two years that I've been doing this. We all sort of know each other. We talk about where we've been—how you can get $8,000 for a study here, $4,000 for a study there.
You can never leave; you're stuck inside. It's a cross between being in the hospital and being in jail. It definitely has a confinement feel to it.
Q: So they feed you?
A: Yeah. They feed you school-cafeteria-type food.
Q: Once you did the first test, did you decide you liked doing this kind of thing?
A: I wasn't completely convinced the first time. It was a whole world I knew nothing about. You get a number and then they refer to you by it the whole time. Like, "Number 10, come in."
During the first test, I was getting stuck by a needle every 15 minutes for two hours, then every half-hour, then every hour. I didn't like the constant needle-sticking. So then I went to other places and they don't do that. They give you a blood catheter.
Q: What is that, exactly?
A: They put a needle in your arm and leave it there and whenever they want blood they can just connect a tube to the thing.
Q: Don't these places think that you might have a bad reaction to their drug because you've taken so many other drugs previously?
A: You're supposed to wait 30 days between tests. There are a few of these places on the East Coast—some in New Jersey, in Baltimore, and in Philly. These places don't communicate with each other, so you don't necessarily have to really wait 30 days.
Q: Are you participating in anything right now?
A: I have to go to New Jersey tomorrow (Wednesday) and then it starts on Sunday. I'll go in on Sunday, then leave on Friday.
Q: What do your parents think of this?
A: They are sort of apprehensive. They think I'm strange, but they know I don't want to work.
Q: Can I ask how old you are?
A: I'm 24 years old.
Q: How long do you think you'll do this?
A: I don't know. I'll probably get a job at some point.
Q: Do you worry about side effects?
A: No. Maybe I should but I don't.
Q: Is it a good place to meet girls?
A: There actually aren't many women who do this. There is something about dangers to a fertile woman. I suppose if you're menopausal or have had a hysterectomy you can do it. But it's about 98 percent guys.
Q: Have you ever had anything bad happen?
A: I've had some mild side effects. I've been nauseous and I've vomited twice. Once I took a painkiller, which was an opiate, and I was constipated for a week. But I've never had anything really bad happen.
Not all of the drugs that I try have been tested in man. But if you take prescription drugs, this is part of the reason you're able to do it.
Q: Would you recommend this as a way to earn a living?
A: I would recommend it. It's been great having free time for the last two years.

that Craftsy has done and I am super excited to have been asked to host it! I must say, the project is one that is a staple in pattern repertoire. The big reveal is set for Nov. 1st (so check back for pictures) but until then it is not too late to sign up.
But what are you signing up for you ask?
The workshop includes the pattern, along with in-depth instructions and high quality close-up photos of each step. Yarn will be delivered to you by November 1st, when your workshop access is activated on Craftsy and the surprise is revealed. Plus, Marly will be responding to questions and providing help along the way. With her guidance, beginner and above knitters will be able to participate in and enjoy the workshop. Won't you join the fun? Learn some new crocheting techniques with this warm winter project from Marly Bird!
In my family hats are an essential winter-wear accessory. The more hats the merrier and the funkier the hat the happier my kids are (they are 7, 9 and 11). Not to mention all of my friends ask for their own hat to match their coat or gloves or boots or whatever they think might make me see their need to have one of these fantastic and fashionable accessories. Well, since crocheting hats that all look the same is a little boring for both me and my family (we all don't want to look matchy-matchy) I have found that using a basic hat pattern for the hat itself and then making/adding different embellishments or finishes really allows me to create a variety of truly unique hats! It is a win-win!
Now it is your turn, I am going to share with you my basic hat pattern (shhhh don't tell anybody). Not only will I share it with you but I will take you along step by step throughout the whole process from beginning with the magic loop to adding ear flaps without seams! Pictures are added to show you precisely what your hat should look like and how to do specific techniques. Not only that, I give you a couple of my tips and tricks to help you in all of your future crocheting adventures.
After you make the hat you have a choice to make: You can just keep the hat as is or add a little something! I show you how to add a mohawk-type fringe that I call the "mane" event, how to add tassels to the ear flaps, how to crochet a flower and how to add corkscrews to the top of the hat. These different embellishments are perfect for the boy, girl, man or woman in your life.
That doesn't sound too hard does it? Plus, you get me along the way answering your questions. It cannot get much easier than that. Let's do this!
SIGN UP TODAY for a little holiday fun!

Siamo stati qui un sabato sera. Aveva il guacamole per i principianti - - molto buono. Il mio mojito era deliziosa. Per antipasti avevamo le Yucatecas e mi mancano anche le enchiladas... Encocao de Camaron. Entrambi erano molto buono!
Io e i miei amici siamo andati a festeggiare il compleanno con un tardo pranzo / cena presto. Il servizio è sempre fantastico, l'atmosfera è sempre piacevole e il cibo è sempre deliziosa.
Questo si è rivelato un ottimo posto per festeggiare il compleanno di mia figlia. Abbiamo fatto una prenotazione e il nostro tavolo era attesa per noi. Ottimo cibo! Servizio cordiale! E, in effetti, come il nostro server promesso: " il MIGLIOR Flan " !

Wow! Although I had only a short reading I feel like he connected with me right away and was able to give details about my situation that weren't generic. I don't often take time to write reviews, but I felt I had to share my wonderful experience. It felt like talking to a friend who knew me and understood what I've been going through. He gave me predictions but more importantly guidance which I can use the for future. So happy that I found him! Such a great personality, can't wait to talk again!
Leo ,Is the real deal ! I am happy to have meet him . His reading was very accurate on both readings! Love Ya!
Leo was friendly from the start! It was like he could feel my thoughts. He talked about things I was doing that he wouldn't have known. And he was so animated, especially when he felt my sister and my dad and uncle and my mom who came to him with a message for me. I felt renewed by the reading and ready to move in new directions with more purpose and surety.
Talking with Leo was like talking with one of my girlfriends He was so insightful and kind. Love love love him to pieces!!!!! I will be a regular!!!!
I received my reading via Youtube recently, and I was starstruck by how much Leo's clear wisdom and vivacious personality shines with compassion and loving light. I encourage anyone looking at this page to make an appointment with Leo, as he inspires realization of all blessings already in our lives, and self-examination of what fruits our actions are really bearing.
Had a reading with Mr. Leo this afternoon. He was dead accurate on pretty much everything, and gave me a food good leads to hunt down.


LAUDERDALE COUNTY, Ala. - Authorities in Rogersville call it one of the most violent crimes they have ever seen in the small town, and they are still seeking justice.
On October 23rd of 2015, 58-year-old Connie Ridgeway was found stabbed to death inside her residence at Meadowlands Apartments.
Neighbors and community members have left memorials on the door-step of apartment four.
Ridgeway was known for caring attitude and always helping neighbors, which has made this case so difficult for investigators. How could someone so loved by the community, fall victim to such a gruesome crime.
"It might be the case that the person who killed Connie is watching right now. I want them to understand that we're standing against you. We're going to do what we can to find you. And I would like for you to turn yourself in and do the right thing," stated family friend Mark White, shortly after the murder occurred.
The State Bureau of Investigation and Lauderdale County Sheriff's Office is continuing to actively work the case.
They say they are waiting on some key pieces of evidence to return for analysis from state forensics.
If anyone has information which could help lead investigators to an arrest in the Connie Ridgeway murder case, contact the Shoals Area Crime Stoppers tip line. Operators for the tip line can be reached at (256)386-8685, or text your tip to 274637 (CRIMES), in the message type "tip1293" and your information.
Your identity is protected, and worth a cash reward of up to $1,000.
A memorial for Connie Ridgeway is planned for this Saturday at Rogersville's Heritage Park from 2 until 4pm. The community is encouraged to attend.


What changed my mind this year? Life. The beginning of 2018 launched a slide of lost jobs (me), a broken arm (my daughter), a fender-bender (me), a shattered knee with no walking for two-plus months (my husband) and weird unexpected worries and conflicts I can't get into here — countless emotional, mental and physical pitfalls to figure out and get past. Reinventing my usual holiday formula will surely usher in a renewed energy and spirit, right? Right.
Our most important jobs as moms is to keep getting up, solve problems quickly and create family happiness through stability — this includes being gentle with ourselves when we most need it, regardless of what our opinion may have been about something previously. I used to smack-talk fake Christmas trees, but a sparkling, plastic winter-white sapling (with 800 lights already on it!) proved to be one of my best solutions this year — for my sanity.
We popped it up and my girls and I decorated it together, at night, with our best Christmas music blasting — our tradition. "So we're not going to pick out a real one, Mommy?" they asked, after we all oooh-ed and aaah-ed about how beautiful and easy and fun our new tree was. "Maybe we can find a small one, for old time's sake..." I smiled. And I meant it.

Q: YouTube not working on 32 Bit Ubuntu 14.04 I am using Ubuntu 14.04 on a 32 Bit PC. For the past two or three days neither of my browsers (Firefox & Chromium) is able to play Youtube.
I see this message:

"pubads.g.doubleclick.net refused to connect"
How can I fix this?

A: The 32-bit of these browsers and the back-porting to 14.04 is pretty limited. My guess is that at some point some sunset dates on various technologies like what types of ciphers used to encrypt the HTTPS connection have passed and now those ciphers or certificate algorithms are no longer allowed by the server.
If you open the Inspector and go to Console (in both Firefox or Chrome it's almost the same) and try to load the page you should see an error or warning in the console explaining what support is no longer present.
It's a real pain too because 32-bit systems are left mostly just needing to be updated to 64-bit systems, even if they don't use more than 4GB of RAM etc. It's mostly because developers don't want to support both 32-bit and 64-bit and package managers also don't want to.
EDIT If you think this answer is wrong please explain why. I have multiple 32-bit systems I very much want the browser supported, but they aren't.
