Let Amanda Weitzman's Design Rejuvenate Your Table Top!
Amanda Weitzman's designs encapsulate the Zeitgeist Lifestyle—simple, functional and beautiful pieces that effortlessly blend style and modernity.
Teeming in luxury and style, Amanda Tisch Weitzman's elegant line of placemats and coasters will make the table top the focal point of any room. Noticing a need for functional and sophisticated design in a specialty-market, Amanda took her passion for quality design and launched Tisch New York in 2014. Amanda's path has been unique. Serving as former Fashion Editor at both Harper's Bazaar and Town & Country, and Design Editor at C Magazine, her work is influenced by her eclectic background. Despite her prestigious resume in the editorial world, it was in New York City that her fascination with table top design was born. Although she lives in Los Angeles now with her family, Amanda spent two years in New York working in interior design with a focus on "finishings" when she began to notice a need for more sophisticated table top design. With a desire to fill that void in the market, she set out to create her modern and stylized line of place-mats and coasters.

Split Screen Will Return To Rocket League On Switch
Rocket League AlphaCoders
A week before going free-to-play, Rocket League received a new update on all platforms. It also resulted in some surprising changes for Nintendo Switch players. The update caused the disappearance of split-screen mode, and players have been voicing their complaints regarding the issue online. Fortunately, developer Psyonix Games is working on the issue and promises to bring a fix very soon. Rocket League also went free-to-play earlier this week, which caused a huge spike in players logging into the game. As a result, servers were bogged down and Psyonix had to work on fixing them. The same happened when Grand Theft Auto V went free for a week on the Epic Games Store.
Even though many may think that the time for split-screen gaming is over, the Rocket League player base suggests that it is not. Many friends and family love playing video games together, and split-screen allows them to enjoy playing together on a single TV. Fans are upset about the split-screen mode disappearing from the game, but the same would likely have happened with any other important feature disappearing without any prior announcement. Nevertheless, fans will now feel comforted to know that Psyonix is indeed working on bringing split-screen back to Rocket League on Nintendo Switch.
It is understandable that whenever a game makes a major change like going free-to-play or launching new content, issues like this are common to occur. In the case of Rocket League, however, the game currently has to meet several challenges like improving server stability as well as meeting specific requirements for Switch players.
On a similar note, Rocket League also crossed over with Fortnite. Both these games will have a special Llama-Rama event that starts tomorrow. The event will run until October 12.
Rocket League is free-to-play on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.

In a world that is constantly changing, ERP software has also had to evolve to meet customers' needs and stay competitive. There have been significant changes over the last five years with some being more of an improvement than others. Here's a quick look at some top improvements to ERP software since 2013.
Without a doubt, one of the biggest improvements to ERP software involves a company's ability to switch to the cloud. There are several reasons companies have had such a positive response to the cloud. For example, it offers greater security by frequently testing for vulnerabilities and making certain data is securely backed up with a disaster recovery plan in place. The cloud also offers anywhere access to information by partners, staff, and customers and eliminates the need to purchase additional storage/server hardware. As a bonus, the up-front costs tend to be less expensive. In fact, in Panorama's most recent 2018 ERP Report shows cloud deployments increased to 85%. This was a surprising increase from the previous year which shows more and more companies are taking advantage of this type of ERP software system for their business.
Over the last five years, more and more small businesses have adopted ERP systems. The reason for this is simple. There have never been more ERP software options. From niche and industry-specific software to software geared specifically to small businesses. Whether on-premise or cloud solutions, small businesses have tons of options to choose from. They even have the ability to customize their solution. This has led to more small and medium-sized businesses to consider implementing ERP software.
Vendors have made every effort to shorten integration periods. For example, interfaces are cleaner, faster and more accurate. At the same time, the introduction of simpler applications has not only reduced integration times, but also decreased setup costs and improved effectiveness. Check out the video "How to Develop the Right ERP Strategy for Your Organization" to help with this process.
Security is an increasing concern for both individuals and companies, especially since data breaches have become increasingly sophisticated. This is why ERP vendors have put so much time and effort into offering top-notch data protection with highly advanced permission protocols, encryption and high-quality firewalls.
As SaaS (software as a service) applications and cloud solutions have merged into existing ERP systems, they have given businesses the ability to run operations using a single, end-to-end platform. This has eradicated the need for different systems and greatly enhanced interconnectedness between various departments. This has resulted in instantaneous department communication, quicker response times and operations that are quicker overall. For many companies, this has led to a substantial boost in both production and revenue.
In recent years, there has been a huge push to incorporate big data into ERP software. The reason for this is simple. Big data has the potential to be a game changer by improving information density, providing greater predictive analytics to potentially uncover hidden patterns and shortening decision making processes. Plus, it allows companies to effectively track incredibly detailed production data, which has resulted in enhanced processes, productivity and overall quality.

Triggers for market volatility can come in many different shapes and sizes–policy uncertainty in Washington, earnings reports, geopolitical unrest, the list is almost endless. And market swings can rattle even seasoned investors' nerves. But volatility is part and parcel of investing.
"Market volatility should be a reminder for you to review your investments regularly and make sure you consider an investing strategy with exposure to different areas of the markets–U.S. small and large caps, international stocks, investment-grade bonds–to help match the overall risk in your portfolio to your personality and goals," says Dowd.
Market downturns may be upsetting, but history shows that the stock market has been able to recover from declines and can still provide investors with positive long-term returns. Since mid-2015, this general pattern played out. U.S. stocks experienced sharp drops in Q3 2015, when China devalued its currency; in Q1 2016, as oil prices dropped; in Q2 2016, after the "Brexit" vote; in the run-up to the 2016 US presidential election; and in 2018, concerns about trade rattled investors. Still, during the 3-year period, the market was up more than 30% cumulatively.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The S&P 500® Index is a market capitalization-weighted index of 500 common stocks chosen for market size, liquidity, and industry group representation. S&P and S&P 500 are registered service marks of Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC. The CBOE Volatility Index is a key measure of market expectations of near-term volatility conveyed by S&P 500 stock index option prices. You cannot invest directly in an index.
If you are nervous when the market goes down, you may not be in the right investments. Your time horizon, goals, and tolerance for risk are key factors in helping to ensure that you have an investing strategy that works for you.
Even if your time horizon is long enough to warrant an aggressive portfolio, you have to be comfortable with the short-term ups and downs you'll encounter. If watching your balances fluctuate is too nerve-racking for you, consider working with your advisor to reevaluate your investment mix to find one that feels right.
But be wary of being too conservative, especially if you have a long time horizon, because strategies that are more conservative may not provide the growth potential you need to achieve your goals. Set realistic expectations too. That way, it may be easier to stick with your long-term investing strategy. Choose the amount of stocks you are comfortable with.
If you could avoid the bad days and invest during the good ones, it would be great–the problem is, it is impossible to consistently predict when those good and bad days will happen. And if you miss even a few of the best days, it can have a lingering effect on your portfolio.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The hypothetical example assumes an investment that tracks the returns of the S&P 500® Index and includes dividend reinvestment but does not reflect the impact of taxes, which would lower these figures. There is volatility in the market, and a sale at any point in time could result in a gain or loss. Your own investing experience will differ, including the possibility of loss. You cannot invest directly in an index.

If you invest regularly over months, years, and decades, short-term downturns will not have much of an impact on your ultimate performance. Instead of trying to judge when to buy and sell based on market conditions, if you take a disciplined approach with an advisor to make investments weekly, monthly, or quarterly, you can avoid the perils of market timing.
If you keep investing through downturns, it won't guarantee gains or that you will never experience a loss, but when prices do fall you may actually benefit in the long run. When the market drops, the prices of investments fall and your regular contributions allow you to buy a larger number of shares.
In fact, what seemed like some of the worst times to get into the market turned out to be the best times. The best 5-year return in the U.S. stock market began in May 1932–in the midst of the Great Depression. The next best 5-year period began in July 1982, amid an economy in the midst of one of the worst recessions in the postwar period, featuring double-digit levels of unemployment and interest rates.

There may be a few actions that you can take with your advisor while the markets are down to help put you in a better position for the long term. For instance, if you have investments you are looking to sell, a downturn may provide the opportunity for tax-loss harvesting–when you sell an investment and realize a loss. That could help your tax planning.
Finally, if the movement of the markets has changed your mix of large-cap, small-cap, foreign, and domestic stocks, or your mix of stocks, bonds, and cash, you may want to work with your advisor and rebalance to get back to your plan. That could provide a disciplined approach that helps you take advantage of lower prices.
To help ease the pressure of managing investments in a volatile market, work with your advisor to determine a strategy that fits your risk tolerance.
Rather than focusing on the turbulence, wondering whether you need to do something now or wondering what the market will do tomorrow, it makes more sense to focus on developing and maintaining a sound investing plan with your advisor. A good plan will help you ride out the peaks and valleys of the market and may help you achieve your financial goals.

Programmatic advertising is a word jumble of often-confusing terms and uncertain definitions.
Perhaps you've found yourself nodding along in a meeting, too afraid to ask "What's that mean?" The space, which at the most basic level concerns how digital ads flow online, is constantly evolving. What was programmatic yesterday is not the programmatic of today or tomorrow. Here's a look at the terms and practices that are essential to know as a digital marketer on the way to 2020.

Writer's Thoughts: Not Doing NaNoWriMo This Year.
This is the first day of NaNoWriMo.
Might as well get it out now: I'm not doing NaNoWriMo this year.
I've done it four years, won three of those years. The three novels I won with were the "Treasures of Space" novels (Treasure of the Black Hole, Treasure of the Pirate Planet, and Treasure of the Rogue Moon). The novel I didn't win with was Book of Death, which I did eventually finish. What stopped me from winning was I realized I needed to do a lot of research on Romania (where most of the novel is set) and I didn't have time to do that and finish the novel by the end of November.
Last year I didn't do NaNoWriMo because I had nothing to write. I was trying to write a novel, had writer's Hoover Dam (not just a block, but Hoover Dam). This year I started a short story which is now around 25,000 words. I'm not going to stop writing it to do a NaNo novel. And I don't think I'll get 50,000 more words out of it (I'm hoping for 35,000 more).
So no NaNo for me. I'll just keep plugging away at my current work in progress. It's working title is Chumba of the Intelligence Corps: The Smugglers of Mars. It's a prequel to the "Treasures of Space" novels.


Health and care environments are carefully designed to offer residents and patients the maximum possible benefits and promote recovery. Infrared heating systems can be used to enhance these environments in numerous ways.
In healthcare and residential care settings, temperature can be a fundamental factor in the treatment plan for patients and residents. Inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures may complicate recovery programmes or result in patient discomfort - the more accurately temperature can be controlled, the better. Health and care environments also frequently require specialised equipment and apparatus - clunky heating systems only serve to make a the space feel cluttered and crowded.
Beyond comfort and warmth, many individuals in healthcare environments are vulnerable to infection, which means hygiene and cleanliness take on new levels of importance. Older convection heaters generate dust and bacteria, making them difficult to clean and likely to irritate asthma sufferers or anyone struggling with chest complaints.
The focal point of health and care environments: Redwell infrared heating panels can enhance comfort of the treatment experience, generating positive feedback from patients and visitors.
Waiting rooms, reception areas: infrared heating can keep patients or residents comfortable and happy as they wait for family or friends.
Staff rooms, changing rooms, lunch rooms: comfortable staff facilities help keep your premises running. Ensure employees don't feel the chill as they carry out their roles.
Hallways, corridors: remove drafts and keep patients and visitors consistently comfortable as they move between areas within your premises.
Redwell's infrared panels are controlled via thermostat and offer unprecedented accuracy - patients and care residents can adjust temperatures quickly and easily to suit their specific health needs.
Unlike radiators and convection heaters, infrared heating systems attract less dust and moisture making the environment more comfortable for anyone with chest complaints and allowing for much easier cleaning - a huge benefit for healthcare settings.
Redwell's flat infrared heating panels offer numerous space-saving possibilities. Panels can be installed on walls or ceilings leaving room for important equipment and apparatus in healthcare and care homes.
Infrared panels contain no moving parts meaning they require minimal maintenance. We offer a 90 month warranty on our products but when necessary, repair work is as simple as disconnecting the panel from the mains and removing it from the wall.
Redwell infrared panels are customisable with printed artwork or colour - in care environments maintaining bright, attractive and interesting decor and creating a pleasant work environment is a huge benefit for patients and staff.
Research has shown that radiant infrared heat has the potential to ease bone, joint and circulation problems - and help in the treatment of conditions like arthritis and rheumatism.


March 2018: Over the next 12 months this committee will work to provide clear and accurate information as well as resources and guidance related top the work of adopting Human Growth & Development curriculum in Deer Park Schools.
Achieving healthy sexuality is a developmental process from birth to adulthood; so is learning about sexuality. In the early years, the foundation for mature adult sexuality is laid with such building blocks as healthy self-esteem, positive body image, good self-care, effective communications, respect for others, caring for family and friends, and a responsibility to community. As an individual matures, other essential elements are added such as understanding body changes, sexual intimacy and commitment; knowing and using health-enhancing measures, such as health exams, abstinence and protection; and recognizing the joys and responsibilities of parenting.
The committee is tasked with selecting units and materials that allow for an accurate, factual, healthy, positive, safe, and age-appropriate approach to Human Growth & Development. In no way does the work of the committee encourage, condone, or advocate for sexual permissiveness or activity. Rather, we believe that factual information and a deeper understanding of human sexuality equips young people to make healthy choices.
We have worked to align our review and adoption schedule to match OSPI's curriculum and standards review timelines, as OSPI periodically conducts formal instructional materials reviews in various subjects as a service to school districts. Washington is not a state-mandated instructional materials adoption state; the cycle by which the state reviews materials is largely dependent on the availability of state resources. Likewise, the district's review and adoption schedule is always subject to change based on availability of funds.
Using the following link, you can access the last Washington State Learning Standards Development and Revision Cycle document published by OSPI. The results of state-led reviews are meant as resources for school districts undergoing their own local review and/or adoption processes. State law requires school districts to have policies and procedures in place that guide their selection and adoption of instructional materials for use in classrooms.
Each year, Deer Park School District forms an Instructional Materials Review committee to review curriculum and make any necessary recommendations for adoption of "core" classroom materials (and discuss/explore alternative core and supplementary materials). The district's goal is to provide the most up-to-date, research-based, and appropriate learning materials for teachers and students. Standards-aligned and modern curriculum materials are critical tools for classroom learning. In the hands of our teachers, such materials are intended to move the vast majority of students through mastery of fundamental concepts to deeper thinking. Review committees are composed of certified staff and subject-matter experts to help the district meet this goal.
The adoption process is defined by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW 28A.320.230), DPSD Board Policy (in conjunction with Board Procedure) and the Deer Park Education Association's contract (Article VII, Section 7). The Instructional Materials Committee (IMC) is made up of administrators and teachers – as well as qualified community members – and a non-voting chairperson (superintendent or designee…typically, the Director of Teaching and Learning). The committee is generally convened annually to evaluate instructional materials, ensuring that adopted curriculum fits with the District's mission and outcomes for student learning. The review and adoption schedule is always subject to change based on availability of funds.
The IMC process is legally required and the committee is the only body authorized to send an adoption recommendation to the School Board.
Materials undergo an initial intensive review process, lead by the IMC. The committee evaluates the instructional content of recommended materials according to specific selection criteria. This ensures they comply with state law and district policy (for example, no bias or prejudice) and that the content is developmentally appropriate and covers necessary standards. Next, the committee selects its top choices (generally 2 or 3) and engages in extensive field testing. The IMC's final decision kicks off a formal public review of the materials with opportunity for comments. The IMC's recommendation and public comments then go to Deer Park's School Board, which has the option to approve the adoption. If not approved, the District retains the current curriculum until the adoption process can be repeated.
The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction maintains a webpage with up to date information about instructional materials – OSPI: Instructional Materials Reviews and Supports – as well as information about OSPI's legislative mandate to develop a library of Open Educational Resources (OERs) aligned with the Common Core State Standards Open Educational Resources (reviewed library). If you have questions regarding anything in relation to Teaching and Learning in Deer Park, please call (464.5500).
OSPI's K-12 Learning Standards website provides quick access to Washington's adopted learning standards (including dates of adoption). As required by state law (RCW 28A.655.070) OSPI adopts and oversees the development of learning standards. Learning standards in Washington define what all students should know and be able to do at each grade level. The Grade Level Standards & Resources website provides quick access to all content standards with aligned resources to support curriculum development, instructional practices, and assessment of student learning.
Additionally, OSPI's Learning and Teaching Dept. provides support for schools to ensure engaged and effective teaching and learning for all students in Washington's schools. The work of the dept. focuses on learning standards development and professional learning, and content support for state assessment systems and K–12 education policies.
In Washington, Common Core State Standards provide the guidance as to what students should know and be able to do in the areas of English Language Arts and Mathematics. In other subjects, Grade Level Expectations (GLEs) provide detail about what students should know and be able to do by grade level. GLEs are aligned from kindergarten through grade 10 – so that parents, students and educators can see how skills and knowledge build from year to year. Grade level expectations have been developed or are under review/revision in each content area.

Mike Finlay
Co-Chair of the Governing Body
I am currently interim Head of Inclusion and SEND at Northumberland County Council and passionately advocate for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Before joining NCC, I was Deputy Head Teacher in a Trust of special schools, initially having trained and worked as a Secondary Art Teacher.
I am passionate about improving provision and outcomes for those with differing needs and increasing the number and quality of meaningful pathways for young people with SEND. I am dedicated to advocating with and for young people and to improving opportunities available to them.
I currently live in County Durham with my wife and 2 daughters, aged 1 and 4. We love to spend time outdoors, often visiting the beautiful places Northumberland has to offer each weekend. I'm delighted to have joined Morpeth First as a governor and look forward to supporting and challenging the school to deliver the best outcomes for its pupils.
Craig Appleby
My name is Craig Appleby and I am currently a senior leader in secondary education with 14 years teaching experience. My background is predominantly centered around pastoral care and support, behaviour, attendance, Pupil Premium, internet safety and transition. I hope I can use these skills to support and challenge the school accordingly to be the very best it can be in these areas. I am a proud parent to one girl who currently attends the school and I look forward to watching her and all of the other children grow and develop in such a thriving and positive environment.
Nicola Darrington
I am a mum of two boys at the start of their school experience with Morpeth First School. We live locally and I am a part time GP at one of the local surgeries. I enjoy spending time with my family exploring new things and laughing together. I love nature and enjoy spending time outdoors, but if inside I also enjoy craft and baking. I am passionate about ensuring every child is given the very best opportunities to learn and develop and I am therefore very grateful for the opportunity to be on the governing board for Morpeth First School.
I have the pleasure of being a Governor Lead in the areas of Nurture and Eat Well to Learn Well. These areas dovetail together nicely with oversight for how school meal provision and how nutrition/healthy living is embedded within the curriculum; as well as emotional wellbeing provision within the school. I am fortunate also to be a Governor Lead for Character Education, something in which I believe passionately, as it supports the qualities I hope my children and in fact future colleagues/neighbours would possess, for the enrichment of society.
Rachael Blackett
My name is Rachael Blackett. I am a Parent Governor with two children in Morpeth First School, and a younger child who will hopefully follow. I live in Morpeth, and having also grown up here, I am keen to support the school.
I work as a Planning Consultant for a global engineering firm. I believe in being able to use my professional workplace skills for the benefit of the school. I have a wide ranging interest, and I am currently a Governor Lead for both Maths and Nuture, which gives a balanced overview of academic and wellbeing elements within school. I also sit on the school's Resources Committee.
Bryony Roff
I am an architect working mainly on historic buildings in the North East. I am a parent to two boys, both of whom went to Morpeth First School, one is now at KEVI, the other attends Newminster Middle, so I have had many years of association with Goosehill. I have been a governor since 2016, first as a parent governor, now as a co-opted governor.
John Ryder
Originally from Teesside, I fell in love with the area and settled here in 2008. I have deep rooted interest in the school because two of my children attend Morpeth First School, with a further two to follow. As such, you'll often see me in the playground during school pick-ups and drop-offs.
As an entrepreneur, I bring 20 years of business and technology experience to the Governing Body, and I'm particularly interested in how culture & values can play such an important part in the education and development of children. I enjoy exploring and developing this interest as one of the Governor leads for character education.
Jean Stafford
My name is Jean Stafford. I became a Governor at Morpeth First School because I am interested in the education and nurturing of young children. I believe a positive foundation in a cooperative and caring environment will enable a child to grow emotionally and physically towards responsible adulthood.

Building for 2022: Get to Know New Defender Lee Desmond
By Emile Guzman, 12/29/21, 1:00PM PST
Catch a glimpse of the defender's career accomplishments ahead of his first taste of North American football
Last week, Republic FC officially welcomed Lee Desmond to the Indomitable Club after seven seasons in his native Ireland.
Desmond brings a ton of experience at many levels of the game to Sacramento's back line, logging over 20,000 minutes in league and tournament play with his club sides, and making three U21 national team appearances since entering the pro ranks in 2013. He's been an iron man for his clubs throughout the years, logging over 20 appearances in every season but an injury shortened 2016 and the pandemic shortened 2020.
In Desmond, Sacramento gets a defender strong in one-on-one situations and capable of moving up to help the attack night in and night out. This past season, the center-back emerged victorious in 75% of his one-on-one duels and played away 116 opposing threats. Throughout his career in Ireland, he disrupted opponents' chances with nearly 500 interceptions – an average of just over five per match.
On offense, he tallied four scores and ten assists, and since 2016 has completed 84% of his passing attempts. That attacking presence from the back line will meld well with Sacramento's existing defensive core, which generated regular chances on goal this past season.
His experience in big competitions shines bright as well. He was named the Man of the Match in 2021's FAI Cup Final, a contest that saw his squad secure the title for the fourth time in their history following a penalty shootout. Desmond helped lead St. Patrick's Athletic to consecutive EA Sports Cup titles in 2015 and 2016, and he's appeared thrice for his country's youth sides, logging minutes in three international friendlies against Russia, England, and Norway in 2014 and 2015.
Sacramento only stands to benefit from Desmond's addition come 2022. His presence in the back should further strengthen an already stout defensive unit in the Indomitable City, one ready to anchor a squad looking to return to the upper echelon of USL clubs on the pitch.

Effexor xr $0.72 - pills Per pill
Effexor in the uk 's drug abuse statistics I had a talk on this at an e-waste event here in the UK, I'm sure you can see it on YouTube It's a well-known fact that there are more than 500 different illegal drugs available to buy legally in the UK, and that at least 8 million people use them - some estimate that there are over a million users, and some think it's closer to 10 million The numbers have been rising rapidly and are now estimated to be over a million year - which means an estimated is there a generic for effexor xr £1 billion is spent a year on illegal drugs However, no government figures exist for the amount of money that is spent on treatment for each of these users The government wants to tackle this and says it may give £1.5 billion a year to treatment over the next five years - or double the amount of funding it spends today However, the money it spends every year is only a fraction of what it would cost and will end up actually subsidising illegal drugs They estimate that it will cost around £250 million a year to run the health service for drug users, and the government doesn't want to spend that money on drug addiction So there we have it - if the amount spent on treatment is to be increased we should increase our spending on illegal drugs too. There's a lot more to the story of drugs than I can fit into a blog post, but these are the two key points. How much money is spent by generics pharmacy branches in mandaluyong the government on drug misuse? The government doesn't really know - the figures simply haven't been published. There are various attempts around to publish this money - one of which was announced just a couple of months ago. In October a Freedom of Kamagra uk pharmacy Information request to the Department for Communities and Local Government was directed to the and Home Office asking for the amount spent by Home Office on drug misuse. It's worth repeating what was said a few months ago: The Home Office is committed to tackling drugs in all their forms for the public, whilst protecting wellbeing of its own staff and those involved in its work. The home secretary believes that public money should not be used for the illegal purchase of drugs. When that money is spent on drug is effexor generic misuse, the government does not know exactly what is being spent, as the funds are not included in the financial reports which are published on a quarterly basis. The Home Office would not be able to provide a full report if the figures were published in regular financial reports because they would have to include the money spent in context of other drugs expenditure. It's very difficult to get the full figures, it's extremely difficult to see how it could be argued that it's wrong to release the information; however, Government have said they will not be able to publish the actual money spent, they will only be able to publish how much of the other £11 billion they spent is on drugs. Where does this money effexor xr uk come from? If you look at the Home Office's budget (which includes money from the various government departments) for drug misuse, you'll see that money is set aside to deal with these problems, which means that when the money spent is around £50 million a year, the money saved goes towards reducing drug misuse. However, money from central government (for example, money from the Drugs Strategy Board) is then also set aside to deal with the problem.

Generic effexor names, such as "pyrimethamine"). If you follow this guide to ensure a high chance of success with any new medication, I must acknowledge that it is likely you will have to start over with a new product because the medication you took last time is no longer available. If you already knew that was going to happen, I will still give you the benefit of doubt that you can use a Effexor xr $0.77 - pills Per pill completely clean and brand new batch of medication. However, if this should happen, do not despair because it is possible to reprogram the biosensor. You can do this within seconds, and the results should be identical to a new drug. Also, while this guide is meant for generic names, I have not found a way to avoid generic names when purchasing these new drugs. To be able make this guide specific to each drug, it is recommended that you read the drug's data sheets prior to drug purchasing. There may be some medication from the same manufacturer that uses different name, dosage, frequency/duration/drug form, etc. There is a possibility that your pill will contain a different dosage form than that shown on the drug data sheet. Part 2: How to Read a Drug Label Before attempting to figure out if something is safe, a drug label the only document you will have which be able to answer all your questions if you ever get sick. I cannot emphasize this enough. When you purchase a pharmaceutical product, the label should be presented to you with all the pertinent information on product. If you have missed a label, no way of knowing if this information is current, or if there are side effects of using different medications. Also, the most basic statement of "drug contains X", often appears on these drug labels. The most popular brand names of medication contain medications that in most cases have been shown to be of significant benefit for patients over their age. example, aspirin is a commonly used treatment for high blood pressure. However, an FDA study published in the British Medical Journal showed drug was effective when given with a diet high in fruits and vegetables. This drug manufacturer was forced to stop marketing this drug for use in pregnant women after the FDA showed it to cause birth defects in the exposed children. What other drugs do not have product information printed on their labels? Other commonly used medications such as pain relievers, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs, weight loss medications, etc., usually have information on their label about common side effects of their product. However, many these medications contain other substances, such as alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and prescription drugs. This is a very important point because some of the medications you take can have adverse consequences when taken with each other as well your prescription drugs in particular. Most doctors and researchers are only able to use information from drug trials and which are carried out in very controlled conditions. Studies the lab that have been done in a patient population of less than 10 patients to date, are not necessarily representative of the effects that would be seen in the real world when prescribing these medications to the general population. Therefore, it is possible that the adverse effects listed on a drug label only apply for a small window of time. For instance, in the case of amitriptyline, its side effects when used on a daily basis are primarily muscle weakness, sleep problems, stomach upset, or diarrhea. The side effects listed on drug label only apply to a drug be used for single week or less, with each drug containing different doses on a drug label. In other cases, side effects listed on Cialis cost usa the drug label have become much less effective as a means of giving the patient a prescription for drug than it was originally intended to be used for. These side effects have become "normal" to the population of United States (which is a lot of people, to be sure). The new medication that patient was prescribed is typically a lot different from the drugs your doctor prescribed previously (as a person's health goes through many changes - sometimes it even goes away completely!). The older medications are often replaced with the new medication as soon it is available. In contrast to a patient's prescription drug list, label can provide important valuable information about the safety and side effects of a brand new medication. One of the most recent examples a drug that uses an older treatment method as a new therapy comes from the drug for smoking cessation called bupropion. According to the FDA, drug's manufacturer used two older drugs in the first-to-market studies, but then removed these old medications and replaced them with an even newer substance. These two drugs were used to treat nicotine addiction, withdrawal, and quitting smoking. Both the older medications worked by blocking a chemical called delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) that is not produced naturally in the body. "new" medication, marketed by Bristol-Myers Squib.

Militants Kill 2 in Attack on Foreign Compound in Afghanistan
This is the 11th attack against foreigners in two weeks.
By MUHAMMAD LILA and GEETIKA RUDRA
Taliban Storms Guesthouse in Kabul
It's the latest attack in Afghanistan.
— -- Militants attacked and stormed a foreign guesthouse in Afghanistan's capital of Kabul today, setting off a deadly exchange with police and Afghan commandos that left at least two people dead.
The attack began after sunrise when a suicide bomber detonated outside the compound. Afghan police officials say the compound belonged to a foreign aid agency, but declined to give the agency's name or say where it is based.
The attack took place in the Karte-Se, a quiet neighborhood in western Kabul that's home to a series of low-profile, western guesthouses.

US Broadens Military Mission in Afghanistan Next Year
After the suicide attacker detonated, at least two other militants stormed the building, eventually holing up inside the compound while Afghan commandos and police surrounded them outside.
For the next two hours, gunfire and periodic explosions rang through the cold Kabul night, as Afghan security forces attempted to get the militants out.
"We were playing football on the street. Suddenly we heard gunfire," Mohammad Idris, a local resident, told Reuters. "Right after the gunfire, police forces arrived, and I don't know what is going on."
All three militants were eventually killed, along with two NGO staff. It's unclear whether the staff killed were locals or foreigners, or how many people were inside the compound at the time of the attack.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the compound was a Christian missionary center that was a front for intelligence gathering. The Taliban say the attack was timed to coincide with a meeting that included Australians who were visiting the compound.
This is the 11th attack in the last two weeks against foreigners in Kabul. Previous targets included a British vehicle convoy, a compound belonging to the aid agency International Relief and Development and a compound mostly housing foreign security contractors called Green Village.
The spike in violence is taking place ahead of the formal end of NATO combat operations in December. Earlier this month, President Obama signed an executive order that allows U.S. troops to engage the Taliban and other militants directly, without a request from Afghan officials to do so.

Teaching students about climate change can be challenging; it's a broad, interdisciplinary topic, and it's not always part of an established curriculum. However, teaching students about the impact of climate change can be relatively simple.
Climate change is a global problem that requires global solutions, but your students don't have to travel far to learn about ways to fight climate change, such as energy conservation. In fact, students can learn about these topics from their very own homes.
Today's college students are highly engaged, equipped with new digital technologies, and committed to tackling the world's biggest challenges—including climate change. These digital natives, social media experts, tinkerers, creators, and activists are organizing student-led programs to encourage sustainable behaviors across college campuses. One such program is EcoReps at the Seattle campus of the University of Washington (UW).
In August, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (a body of the United Nations) released a report that the UN secretary-general described as "a code red for humanity."
Empowering Ideas for Engaging Latinx Students in STEM
Boosting STEM exposure, opportunities, and engagement all go a long way in creating STEM-literate students and supporting the next generation of Latinx STEM leaders. But, outside of the classroom or lab, where can students go to receive STEM support? And where can they learn more about potential careers and research environments they could pursue in the field?
Supporting Educator Diversity in Today's Classrooms: Three Teacher Preparation Programs to Check Out
With young Latinx learners representing a large percentage of the student population, more Latinx educators are needed in today's classrooms. The Latinx student population is expected to continue to grow, and "research shows that schools and districts with teachers that reflect the cultural, racial, and/or linguistic backgrounds of Latinx students are better equipped to support them," according to the education policy report Paving the Way for Latinx Teachers: Recruitment and Preparation to Promote Educator Diversity from New America.

"The more hands-on engineering experiences students receive at a younger age, the more they'll understand that STEM careers are accessible to them," said Bayonet. "I know I personally would have flourished if I had this type of learning opportunity and exposure to technology when I was in elementary or middle school."
The Caliper started as a printed, biannual newsletter in 1984. See the evolution of STEM education over 38 years.


(Newser) – Sure, the digital revolution has brutalized video-rental stores and slashed newsstand numbers in half—but consider the poor one-hour photo shop. Those friendly kiosks and stores have fallen off by a stunning 94% since 1998, the worst decline of all business categories in the US Census. "The photo business is dead," says Dae Kim, whose Happy Photo in Queens, NY, still offers one-hour processing. But things looked rosy back in 1968, when color photography became popular and US entrepreneur Preston Fleet started Fotomat, Bloomberg reports. Americans loved dropping off photos at those kiosks before going shopping, so much so that 1,800 locations popped up within two years and Fotomat eventually got listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
I agree with one thing, negatives are better for photo storage than saving one hard drives. Hard drives go bad after time, they become obsolete,etc, then all those photos will eventually be too hard to access, unfortunately.
My husband worked for the former photographic giant Eastman Kodak, which is now doing business printing and not much else. He is now working for another company. Very hard on us and the entire city of Rochester, NY. Many jobs have been lost because of this, but manufacturers can't keep making buggy whips or paying the makers. One store closes and another one opens.


Increase the starting salary for graduates ASAP!
I would not expect a graduate starting to work today to survive on the starting salary that I received almost two decades ago.
The systematic affirmative action that is implemented in the country ensures that there are more bumiputeras in universities.
Liberalism and democracy are threats to the nation?
By the very fact that Umno holds the majority and authority in the government, it is by default its policies that become national policies.
Why break a perfectly decent public healthcare system?
We already have a model healthcare system that is working well for the people, so let's not try to worsen it.
Hey sexual predators, come to our safe haven!
Paedophiles, sexual predators and offenders can all find safe refuge here in Malaysia if we go by how we have been treating recent cases here in Malaysia. The empathy that we have for these people is amazing.
The reason for cutting the budget for public universities is so can be more sustainable and independent from the government. That may sound like a good idea but it isn't.
I am disgusted to think that Malaysians have been regularly eating dogs all this while without knowing it.
The world should go entirely cashless to prevent corruption and crime.


In fact, I'd venture to say that we would do just about anything to never, ever have to join.
That said, it's very important to recognize the very special gift that Sisters (and Brothers)-in-Loss become in our lives. How much harder would this journey be without those special people to mourn with you and celebrate with you as you walk this path?
So, here are four things that make your Sisters-in-Loss AMAZING.
Don't feel like faking a smile today? Don't. Feel bitter about the latest baby announcement on Facebook? Vent about it. Sisters-in-Loss won't judge. They "get it." They get you, even on those days when you can hardly understand yourself. They know that it is okay for you to be laughing one day, and hard grieving the next, and wherever you are in your journey, they walk with you, side-by-side, without judgement.
I am so blessed by my Sisters-in-Loss, some of whom have walked this path with me for the last seven years. We trudged through the early, angry stages of grief, together. We took those first few breaths that made it feel as though we might survive, together. We celebrated milestones together, embraced new beginnings together, and learned to celebrate life again, together. And as you grow and heal, together, there is this overwhelming sense of gratitude to your child who you know played a special part in making sure you had the right people by your side through this. Your child is an integral part of your relationship, and celebrated as such. Sisters-in-Loss never urge you to "get over it," but hand in hand you find the power to survive… together.
I refer to us as Sisters-in-Loss, because sisterhood is the only way I can think to describe such a deep connection. Just as genetics may bond you to your biological family, the shared experience of loss, and the changes that loss causes in your mind, body and soul bonds you to other parents going through the same trials, tribulations and emotions. Through shared experiences you have an understanding of one another in a deep, connected way that even your closest life-long friends could never truly understand. When your Sister-in-Loss tells you she understands what you are going through, she truly does.
Go ahead, talk about the cute fist your child made in her ultrasound picture, or the way you imagined how it might feel to put them on the bus for first grade this year. Your Sisters-in-Loss will listen, and acknowledge your child. Hearing about your child won't make them uncomfortable. They know that all of your children are loved, and important, and they want to celebrate and honor their life, no matter how brief, with you, just as you want to honor their children with them. Embrace this. Get together to celebrate this unique form of motherhood. Talk about the way your baby had your mother's hands, or her father's cheeks. Sisters-in-loss don't get uncomfortable. They embrace, love and celebrate. They remember your child because they WANT to, not because they feel obligated to. They understand that a mother's heart will always beat for all her children, and they can truly, truly empathize with your need to keep your child's memory alive.
