A classy evening of music, dance, art and sit-down dinners is reason enough to block the date for the annual Taj Black Tie Charity Ball, which has been announced to take place exactly one month from now, on 6th September, 2015 at the Taj Palace. Adding to the elegance, and an urgency to participate, is the cause that this event supports – India's Unsung Heroes in Uniform.
The cause manifests itself annually as a gesture of gratitude towards our soldiers, who have made sacrifices and fought valiantly to safeguard our nation. It has been founded around the concept of contributing meaningfully through opportunities provided to their families or by addressing the soldier's needs in more than simply monetary terms. It is an occasion that addresses a significant cause of public concern by engaging the guest, the capital's crème de la crème, in support of a truly worthy cause-through contributions and promise of engagement.
The Taj Public Service Welfare Trust has interacted directly with the Commanding Officers of the Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre (PRC), Mohali and the PRC – Kirkee, Pune, which are administered by Integrated HQ of Army, through the managing committee of respective Commands. Presently there are over 104 inmates staying with families, with an aim to support the patient and instil an urge in them to live.

Episode 73: "Big is Beautiful" with Robert Atkinson
What do you think about the following statements? Small businesses are overwhelmingly responsible for job creation, innovation and American prosperity. Small businesses are more productive than big companies. And small business owners are the core of democracy in America. Yet Washington, controlled by big business and engaged in "crony capitalism," systemically discriminates against small business. We all know this is true, right? Well, no, these things are not true. Or at least, mostly not true. Joining me to explain why is Robert Atkinson, author of "Big is Beautiful: Debunking the Myth of Small Business" and Ron Nicol who led Boston Consulting Group's Americas Practice and was global leader of its Media, Technology and Communications Group. Rob, founder and president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, is one of the country's foremost thinkers on innovation economics.

Episode 52: Part 1: Ed Meese on the Mueller Report with Ron Nicol
We had the good fortune to have Ron Nicol and Edwin Meese on The Bill Walton Show the day the Mueller report was released. Meese, a former U.S. Attorney General, says Robert Mueller should have made a decision on obstruction of justice by the president and that at least one of his attorneys was a "totally irresponsible, unprofessional, unscrupulous lawyer" whom "should not be in any part of the Department of Justice." There's much more in this penetrating analysis by one of our foremost Constitutional authorities."

Caribbean stud poker is a table game similar to five card stud, except it is played against the dealer and the player has no opportunity to bluff. The player must ante at the beginning of the game and then decide if his hand is strong enough to place his bet and play his hand against the dealers. The dealer's cards are all dealt face down with the exception of a single card. If the player wins the bet and the dealer doesn't qualify, the player is returned his bet and wins even odds on his ante. If the player wins the bet and the dealer qualifies, the player is paid out a multiple of his bet based on a pay table, as well as even odds on his ante. If the dealer wins, the dealer takes both the ante and the bet.
Just relax and have fun while playing because this game is not a gambling game. It should not be considered an accurate simulation by the player. All credits assigned in the game have absolutely no cash value, so don't sweat it.


It's a tough job market for college graduates, but far worse for those without a college degree.
That's the main finding of a new report based on a study by Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce. According to the new report, The College Advantage: Weathering the Economic Storm, workers with high school diplomas or less were impacted the most by the recession's job losses.
With skyrocketing college tuition and fewer job prospects for those who do graduate, many are questioning the benefits of a college education. Is a college degree still worth it? The new report — which analyzes the effects of the recession and recovery by education level, gender, industry, and occupation — paints a very clear picture.
For more information, read the full report, The College Advantage: Weathering the Economic Storm.

Near-exhaustive Precomputation of Secondary Cloth Effects from Doyub Kim on Vimeo.
ACM Transactions on Graphics (Proc. SIGGRAPH 2013) Vol. 32, No. 4, 87.
The central argument against data-driven methods in computer graphics rests on the curse of dimensionality: it is intractable to precompute "everything" about a complex space. In this paper, we challenge that assumption by using several thousand CPU-hours to perform a massive exploration of the space of secondary clothing effects on a character animated through a large motion graph. Our system continually explores the phase space of cloth dynamics, incrementally constructing a secondary cloth motion graph that captures the dynamics of the system. We find that it is possible to sample the dynamical space to a low visual error tolerance and that secondary motion graphs containing tens of gigabytes of raw mesh data can be compressed down to only tens of megabytes. These results allow us to capture the effect of high-resolution, off-line cloth simulation for a rich space of character motion and deliver it efficiently as part of an interactive application.

How weird can weird be? Well, just like beauty, weirdness doesn't have any limits too. You might find one thing in life weird and next day you will be coping with something weirder.
When it comes to foods travelers get to see a lot of weird stuff when they travel to different countries and try the many different cuisines of those places. These things could be weirder than your weirdest imaginations but eventually they are the specialties of those places and highly regarded too. For the 10 items given below you must have a strong gut and huge will power. If you don't have those two things, you might want to abstain from trying these items.
Have you ever been accused of stealing someone's heart? If you have done that already here's something new you can try – eat a beating heart. When in Vietnam you will be served this delicious food in style. The cobra is sliced in front of you and from the ripped chest of the cobra comes out the beating heart that you have to eat before it stops beating.
Enough with the walnuts and peanuts; it's time to chew some butts – actually ant butts. Yes, when you are in Columbia you will love to enjoy this delicacy. The ants with their big behinds are soaked in salt for a night and presented to you for eating. You chew and pop them and the lemongrass flavor fills your mouth.
Japan is known for taking things to a new level and this time it's the sushi that has been experimented with. The fish sushi is old and now is the time to enjoy the cockroach sushi. Want to try?
You have eaten eggs no matter how much you deny. If not in their entirety or in the most famous omelet or half fry form, you have had them in baked stuff. In china you find this new delicacy of eggs that are soaked and submerged in the urine of young boys. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?
Running away from spiders is quite common but having them stir fried on your table for you to eat is something different. When you are in Cambodia you don't want to miss this delicious tarantula stir fried with some taste of salt, oil and garlic.
When in Mexico you can't refuse from having one of these tacos containing the crunchy and crispy grasshoppers and worms. They have their own unique tastes and that's the reason they are getting pretty popular in Mexico these days. Cooked in the local spices and served in tortilla they will make your taste buds go crazy.
Some people describe it as the worst and the most disgusting thing they have ever had. This fish, which cannot be eaten by humans when it is fresh, is put in the ground for decomposition for more than 3 months and then frozen before serving to make it taste like a popsicle. The worst thing is that it tastes like rotten food and the taste never goes away even after weeks of brushing at times.
You think of eggs as soon as you hear the name omelet. Well, this time it's something similar to eggs but not eggs. It's pig brain that is served with some additional ingredients such as carrots and aubergines. That's the food from Philippines.
You have seen the coxcomb on the head of a hen but you would have never thought of eating it. Visit France and Italy and you will get some tasty sauce made with this particular item. At times it will be used as a garnishing item as well.
The word is quite fascinating and brings thoughts of different things in different people's minds. If you order this item in Argentina, where it is actually a delicacy, you will get sausages on your table. These sausages are made from blood and contained in a cow intestine firmly.

As part of the legal proceeding involving Virginia Giuffre's charge that Prince Andrew was one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends that she was pressured to have sex with as a minor, a federal judge yesterday released the sealed agreement that was reached about a decade ago between Epstein and Giuffre in settlement of her case against him.
The unsealed settlement states that upon receipt of the stipulated sum, Giuffre, referred to under her maiden name, agrees to "remise, release, acquit, satisfy and forever discharge the said second parties and any other person or entity who could have been included as a potential defendant … from all, and all manner of, action and actions of Virginia Roberts, including state or federal, cause and causes of action".
It looks like Epstein was taking care of his friends to insulate them from legal actions by those they abused. Of course, I doubt that he did this purely out of a sense of friendship. More likely it was to prevent them from buckling under the threat of prosecution and revealing damaging information about him.
It is interesting that Andrew and Alan Dershowitz, neither of whom is specifically named, wanted this agreement to be released since they seem to feel that it will take the heat off them.
Andrew filed Giuffre's settlement with Epstein as part of his attempt to dismiss her case, arguing that it shields him. Lawyers for the prince contend the settlement contains provisions that bar Giuffre from taking legal action against many of Epstein's associates.
Andrew is not mentioned in the released settlement. Nor is the lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who Giuffre has accused of sexual misconduct facilitated by Epstein, which he has repeatedly denied.
In a court filing on 29 October, Andrew's attorneys said: "Giuffre settled her sex-trafficking and sexual-abuse claims against Epstein in 2009. In doing so, she provided Epstein with a general release of all claims against him and numerous other individuals and entities.
"To avoid being dragged into future legal disputes, Epstein negotiated for this broad release, insisting that it cover any and all persons who Giuffre identified as potential targets of future lawsuits, regardless of the merit – or lack thereof – to any such claims."
The attorneys also said: "Because Prince Andrew is a senior member of the British royal family, he falls into one of the expressly identified categories of persons, ie, royalty, released from liability under the release agreement, along with politicians, academicians, businessmen, and others allegedly associated with Epstein.
It is not exactly a ringing assertion of innocence. Basically, they are saying that this is a get-out-of-jail-free card that can be used to prevent any legal action "regardless of merit" against them by Giuffre.
All these powerful people are trying to close ranks against powerless young women who were sexually abused by the pedophile Epstein and his enabler Ghislaine Maxwell.
Law, Politics
cartomancer says
Is it actually legal to produce an agreement like this? Sounds very dodgy to me. I wouldn't think anyone had the capacity to sign away legal standing to prosecute or sue for other people's crimes.
Intransitive says
cartomancer (#1) --
A quick perusal of legal websites (governments, law firms, etc.) repeats the same thing in every country where it's mentioned: NDAs do not cover criminal acts. People who witness and report crimes cannot be penalized under an NDA. Only "spousal protection" (which shouoldn't exist) obviates people from testifying and protects criminals.

John Morales says
I'm reminded of Bill Cosby's release:
On June 30, 2021, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court overturned Cosby's convictions. The decision stated that, prior to testifying in the Constand case, Cosby had been reliant on an unwritten promise that district attorney Bruce Castor had made to not prosecute him.
cartomancer @#1,
As I read it, Giuffre seems to have signed away her own rights to pursue civil actions against anyone who falls into the classifications listed. I suspect that that may be legal since she is only binding herself, unless she can show that there was some level of coercion involved.
But I don't think it will shield Andrew, Dershowitz and others against criminal charges brought by the state or by civil suits brought by other victims.
Intransitive @#2,
I am not sure if this agreement constitutes an NDA, since it is part of a court-approved settlement.
lanir says
So… Why did the very first detail the article mentioned about the suit have to do with how much money she got? Is that really the most important or relevant thing about it that would apply to current events? Of course it isn't. It's just a sneaky way to influence how you read the story.
If they really wanted to include that it could have been listed in the last few paragraphs where they summarize details to make sure you have the whole picture, such as the verdict in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell. Instead, they want you to filter the whole story through a lens of greed. The extremely ugly implied question is whether she's been paid quite enough already for being abused. It starts you out on a footing of judging her rather than the people she's accusing or the evidence she's presenting for her claims.
Nothing presented in the article justifies promoting this viewpoint.
As far as the Prince and his legal defense goes it looks like he chose to look like he's almost certainly a pedophile to anyone with sense rather than support his frankly bizarre claims of innocence, spending time with his family (of course *eyeroll*), and non-sweatiness. I guess he thinks there are enough people lacking sense about to justify that approach.

" I don't think it will shield Andrew, Dershowitz and others against criminal charges"
The day Andy faces criminal charges for anything, anywhere, I'll show my arse on Oxford Street
He clearly doesn't care how it looks any more. Avoiding civil liability is all that matters.
@lanir, 5;
Why did the very first detail the article mentioned about the suit have to do with how much money she got? Is that really the most important or relevant thing about it that would apply to current events?
Actually there is a reasonable answer to that, which is -- the dollar amount she got is about the only detail of the "secret" agreement that wasn't already common knowledge. It's literally the only bit that's "news", tacky as that may seem.
Crip Dyke, Right Reverend Feminist FuckToy of Death & Her Handmaiden says
@Intransitive:
The provision in question isn't an NDA.
If you slip and fall on ice at the doorstep of a hospital, you actually have a decent case for a negligence tort against the hospital. If you're bumped into by the chief of surgery on his way out to lunch and then slip and fall on the ice, you have a decent case against the CoS.
BUT… you can only get paid for your injury once (generally). So most people will sue naming all potential defendants (after all, after you go through discovery looking for evidence you might have a better case against one defendant than another).
HOWEVER, the defendants can agree between themselves that only one of them will pay -- in this case, it's actually fairly likely that a hospital would cover the case costs for one of their employees, so long as its an employee in good standing and the case is for negligence, not, say, assault or other truly bad action.
Now… that agreement isn't binding on the plaintiff, but if the plaintiff decides to settle and accepts the wording suggested by the hospital indemnifying the CoS, then the plaintiff can't later sue the CoS and claim that they only settled with the hospital. The informal (or formal) agreement between defendants isn't binding on the plaintiff, but the signed settlement agreement is.
THAT SAID… no contract, not even a settlement agreement, can successfully enforce a contract provision that is manifestly contrary to the public interest. People have a very wide range of latitude to negotiate their own contracts free of government interference, but they don't have infinite freedom. The court will simply not enforce some contract provisions.
Now is it manifestly against the public interest to protect Andrew from the consequences of his (alleged) wrongdoing? I honestly don't know. This is a case at US law, not Canadian, and even in Canada I wouldn't know (though at least in Canada I would know where to start looking).
This provision might very well be enforceable against Giuffre in this case, but it's also possible that it may not be. Whether the provision is unconscionable might even be a multi-faceted question. For instance, the substance of the provision might be within the scope of the public interest, but I heard that there was some squirrelly shit with lawyers in business with the lawyers representing Epstein taking up representation of his victims without telling them that they were in cahoots with Epstein's lawyers. Now I think I remember this more or less correctly, but the details are fuzzy. Imagine for a moment that I do have this correct. The court could rule that the contract is unenforceable if Giuffre's lawyer had divided loyalties that he did not disclose to Giuffre, as that double-dealing is contrary to the public interest even if the substantive provision within the contract is within the public interest (which we stipulated just for this hypothetical, I'm not saying it is).
So the provision could be
Substantively manifestly outside the scope of the public interest,
Procedurally manifestly outside the scope of the public interest.
In either case, such a provision would be unenforceable, and each possibility would require a different line of inquiry & argument. As I said before, I have no idea whether Giuffre would prevail, but I think it's obvious from what I've read that her lawyers knew about the provision and thought it was worth trying. Given that, and given that they're licensed to practice in the USA, I'll just assume that they know far better than I do and that there is actually a reasonable chance that Giuffre's suit against Andrew can go forward. I'm wishing her luck, but you'll have to ask someone else for the odds.

Gabrielle Union Recalls the Time Her Twists Were Called "Unprofessional"
Gabrielle Union On Her Hair Being Called Unprofessional
3 June, 2018 by Perri Konecky First Published: 5 December, 2017
Whether she's rocking braids, twists, a ponytail, blonde highlights, long extensions, or her gorgeous natural hair, Gabrielle Union is constantly inspiring women with her array of looks. But, even as a successful actress and business woman (she created her own hair care line, Flawless), Gabrielle has faced scrutiny over her hairstyles being accepted as "professional." In a recent interview with Byrdie, she opened up about her experience as a woman of color in entertainment and society's beauty standards.
"There's a larger conversation with people of color when it comes to our hair and our skin color," Gabrielle said. "People will try to lighten our skin tones and alter our hair, which says a lot of about how we feel about ourselves versus how other people feel about our blackness and textured hair. We need to showcase the fullness of our beauty."
In a role where she was playing a "professional woman," Gabrielle wanted to wear twists, and producers dismissed her saying the style wasn't "professional" or "polished," but Gabrielle wasn't letting this one go.
"I was doing a project and with the character the producers were coming up with what they wanted to do for her hair," she recalled. "And they were like, 'She's beautiful, sophisticated, and professional.' I was like, 'Well, I want to wear braids.' And and they were like, 'Well, I mean, she's beautiful, sophisticated, and corporate America.' I responded, 'Yes, and specifically I want twists.' And they went on to say, 'We just really want her to look more polished.' I said, 'You all really don't understand what are we talking about here?'"
She continued, "The idea that how you wear your hair somehow relates to your character, your intelligence, or your wokeness is bullsh*t."
Miss Jamaica Wore an Afro at Miss Universe 2017 and We Are SO Here for It
In an essay she wrote for Glamour earlier this year, Gabrielle got real about her struggle to embrace her natural hair at an early age. After 20 years of her hair "being used and abused," she knows what makes her happy. "I've finally gotten to a place of self-acceptance and recognizing that my natural hair is beautiful — and so is whatever weave I may wear," she wrote. "I'm perfectly happy rocking an Afro puff, my French braids, Senegalese twists, a faux-hawk, or an ombré wig, or heat-styling my natural hair with extensions. . . and that makes me a happy person in my life."

In addition to the professional DVM program, which prepares students to become veterinarians, the UF College of Veterinary Medicine offers a variety of degree programs in Veterinary Medical Sciences.
Specialized graduate study is available via distance learning in a growing number of fields, including Forensic Toxicology and Veterinary Forensic Sciences.
The College of Veterinary Medicine (CVM) offers a graduate program that provides extensive training in veterinary medical sciences to qualified students. Various options exist for students who already possess a professional degree in veterinary medicine or an undergraduate degree with preparatory coursework in the biological sciences, mathematics, chemistry, and physics.
Non-degree seeking students can enroll directly in a distance learning program leading to a Certificate. Most certificates require one year for completion. Up to 15 credit hours taken toward these UF certificate programs can later be applied to a CVM master's or PhD program.
Degree-seeking students must: obtain the personal financial resources needed to complete the degree (self-funding to cover tuition, student fees, living expenses, and costs for research projects); identify a CVM faculty mentor who will agree to supervise a new thesis student; and apply for admission to the UF Graduate School. Most master's degree programs require 2 years and most PhD training programs will require 4 years for completion. The enrollment process takes several months (even longer for international students) and begins by submitting a letter of interest to the CVM Graduate Studies Office.


Bugsy was sixteen years old when he took over the Azalea Gym. The handover happened on a day no less important than his birthday the same year; the previous leader wanted to retire but couldn't until someone else was able to take his position. Bugsy had been studying at the Gym since he could read, working as a Gym Trainer since he was nine and was well on his way to becoming an established researcher by age fourteen.
While the boy was still young, he had already developed a healthy amount of charisma. For the weekend of the handover the Gym was closed to trainers, simply so that Bugsy had the opportunity to get used to the idea that he was in charge; the League were going to be monitoring him closely for his first year as Leader, simply because Johto had never given such a position to someone of his ages before. With the Gym open only to visitors, Bugsy was able to speak with potential challengers for when they reopened, he couldn't think of a better way to spend his first weekend as the Azalea Gym Leader.
It was on Saturday evening that he noticed them. He had been talking to a few trainers that promised to visit on Monday and preparing to close up for the night. Standing only a few feet away from him, Bugsy had no idea how they had managed to end up where they had without him noticing earlier. He recognised the smaller one, Falkner of Violet. He was with another man that Bugsy didn't know, talking to him in what seemed like, from a distance at least, a noticeably stern tone of voice. Bugsy stood watching them for a moment; Falkner seemed less stern the longer he watched, more caring. The taller one appeared to have given in, he shrugged and leant forward to kiss Falkner's head; Morty. He must be Morty, Bugsy realised. He had no idea how he'd never met the Ecruteak Leader when he'd spent what felt like his whole life preparing to take over the Gym in Azalea.
Finally, Falkner and Morty approached him and introduced themselves. Or rather, Falkner introduced them both while Morty walked his fingers up and down his arm and laughed into his hair from behind. It was a simple conversation, full of questions about Gyms and towns and families. It took a more serious turn when Morty led Bugsy aside and told him something that he could never repeat to anyone; he wasn't to ask questions. 'I have to be able to trust you, can I do that?" Morty said. Bugsy had simply nodded.
Bugsy didn't know what he'd been expecting as Morty led him through some of the trees towards the back of the greenhouse. Of course, he was wary but Morty seemed too far off in his own world to do anything dangerous. His minimal expectations, however, left him entirely vulnerable to surprise when Morty revealed the purpose of their walk, hidden between a variety of other plants it was easily overlooked unless you knew what you were looking for.
'I don't sell it, I don't send it out onto the streets,' Morty explained. 'The Leader let me grow it here so I didn't have to keep getting it from the streets.' Bugsy had simply nodded again, still in mild shock. Morty was also happy to share, if he wanted. He had declined that offer but made it clear that he wanted no responsibility for the plants, Morty had agreed.
So Bugsy's first official duty as leader of the Azalea Gym was then, by default, to become caretaker for Morty's illegal plants. Morty, on the other hand, felt a weight off his chest; Bugsy was young enough to see the novelty in a secret crop. Morty had never told the previous leader what it was he was growing, simply that he wanted to make a hobby out of growing plants and needed a place to do it. It was just as well that a friendship grew rapidly, or Morty's continued visits to Azalea Town would have begun to look suspicious.

Q: Disable OutputCaching in MVC3 when running in DEBUG or under Debugger? I am trying to disable output caching in a MVC3 app when in debug.  I am specifying output caching in the controllers (via the attribute) but don't want to have to #if DEBUG all over my code. I expected this to work:
// In Web.config.debug
  <system.web>
    <caching>
      <outputCache enableOutputCache="false"
                   xdt:Transform="Replace" />
    </caching>

But this seems to be ignored.  Any other ideas how to do it system wide without nasty global.asax code or #if DEBUGs everwhere?

A: The web.config.debug file is used only when you build a deployment package. If you run your site locally in Cassini for example it is completely ignored. So you may try disabling cache in your web.config:
<system.web>
    <caching>
        <outputCache enableOutputCache="false" />
    </caching>
</system.web>

and in your web.config.release enable the cache. Note though that if you don't use the web deployment package feature those files are completely ignored.

A: I would think that would work as well. You may want to also try setting enableFragmentCache to false. Per this link:

the EnableFragmentCache property is
  set to false, no page is cached on the
  server, regardless of the settings in
  @ OutputCache directive or caching
  profile used by the page. For more
  information, see
  OutputCacheSettingsSection and
  OutputCacheProfile.

A: If you use IIS version > 7
You should:
  <system.webServer>
    <caching  enabled="true"/> //false in webconfig.debug
  </system.webServer>

The iShares MSCI Indonesia ETF (NYSEArca: EIDO) and the VanEck Vectors Indonesia Index ETF (NYSEArca: IDX) have both tumbled this year, losing an average of about 6.5%. However, investors remain enthusiastic about Southeast Asia's largest economy while acknowledging some lingering risks.
Improving domestic consumption, government capital spending and further structural reforms, along with potentially loose monetary policies, could help support the Indonesian market.
The $540.4 million EIDO tracks the MSCI Indonesia Investable Market Index and holds 86 stocks. That ETF allocates 38.3% of its weight to financial services stocks, more than double its second-largest sector weight. Consumer staples and consumer discretionary stocks combine for 26.6% of the fund's roster.
"The government has limited fiscal space to increase direct infrastructure spending, in part because the central government's revenue-to-GDP ratio is among the lowest of Fitch-rated sovereigns, at under 13% in 2017 according to Fitch's definition. Local governments, state-owned enterprises (SOE) and private investors will be relied on to fill the financing gap. To this end, the government has increased financing options for infrastructure projects, which now include komodo bonds," according to Fitch.


The first question that needs answering when it comes to journeying down the path to creating a social media endeavor like a corporate blog is "Why?" For business, it is already expected that a company have a website presence, but what do consumers really want to see when they try to research you or your company online?
The truth is, when consumers and other people begin to research you online, they are preferring to read what other people are saying about you, or they are looking for a chance to see you in action, reading about your expertise, how you solve problems, and so on.
Newsletters, testimonial ads and standard website content are excellent at getting the word out about your company, and they will never be completely replaced by blogging, but they are all clearly one way forms of communication. If you send out too many newsletters, your readers may stop paying attention, or they may regard your correspondence as spam outright.
On the other hand, for those who prefer to receive information via e-mail, blogging is still quite the viable option.
– Distribute your content on a much greater scale thanks to search engines and RSS feeds.
– Find you more easily through search because of tagging and keywords.
Chances are, your customers are finding new ways to become connected now than in the past. Blogs will give you more juice with Google, and they will also allow you to differentiate yourself much more clearly from other businesses, and all it takes is a little bit of personality, and a little bit of work.
Corporate blogging is all about pouring your passion for your company into a medium that your customers will gladly respond to. Internet users love blogs, and are attracted to blogs, so by writing in a blog, you can touch your customers past, present and future in new ways, giving them a reason to work with your company.
Now that you know why blogs are so important, and now that you understand what they can do for you and your company, the next step is obviously going to be to create your own blog. Your business can benefit in a number of ways when you run a corporate blog, so now is the time for you to implement corporate blogging in your marketing strategy for better business.


Fernando Meisenhalter is of German ancestry, but was raised in Mexico City, therefore, he grew up up under great stress. He still loves both sauerkraut and guacamole. He's MFA-free, and a full-time immigrant living in Northern California since 1995. He became a US citizen in 2002, and his only regret is that his naturalization certificate was signed by then president George W. Bush.


Dr. Anthony L. Rostain is a Professor of Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine. He and Dr. B. Janet Hibbs are co-authors of The Stressed Years of Their Lives, a guide for parents who want to support the mental health of their college students.
An internationally renowned speaker and educator, Dr. Rostain has lectured throughout North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East on a variety of topics ranging from neurodevelopmental disorders across the life span, child and adolescent mental disorders, stress in college-aged students, and parenting in the new millennium, to professional development, ethics, communication skills, wellness and resilience education. He has led dozens of career development workshops for research and clinical fellows in medicine and has facilitated retreats for pediatric and medical residents for over 35 years. An energetic and engaging speaker and workshop leader, Dr. Rostain is highly valued for his ability to engage his audiences and stimulate discussion regarding salient topics. He has appeared frequently on local NPR radio shows ("Voices in the Family" and "Radio Times") and local television stations, and has been quoted in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Dr. Rostain's clinical focus is lifespan neurodevelopmental psychiatry, which includes patients of all ages with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Tourette Syndrome, Learning Disabilities (verbal and nonverbal), and related social learning disorders. He treats patients at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and at Penn Medicine Behavioral Health, where he is Medical Director of the Adult Development Disorders Unit. He is also the Co-Director of The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Neurodevelopmental Psychiatry Program. Dr Rostain's research interests focus on improving clinical outcomes for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders of all ages, and creating effective service systems for these patients and their families. In addition to The Stressed Years of Their Lives, he has co-authored two books on adult ADHD, entitled The Adult ADHD Tool Kit: Using CBT to Facilitate Coping Inside and Out, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Adult ADHD: An Integrative Psychosocial and Medical Approach.
Childhood is evaporating into a life filled with over-scheduled activities and screen time, and adolescence has become a high-stakes, time-starved pressure cooker of stress, fear, and perfectionism for kids, while many parents experience anxious over-involvement. Educational leaders must balance the traditional emphasis on academic excellence with the value of non-cognitive, resilience-building instruction. Together with Dr. B. Janet Hibbs, Dr. Anthony Rostain reviews the unique stressors of this age, reveals the keys to health promotion and harm reduction, and discusses how educational leaders can advance social-emotional health and resilience in students, through practical "emotional prep" and other initiatives designed to prepare students for a successful launch to college and healthy young adulthood.
Drawing on over 35 years of clinical experience and research, Dr. Anthony Rostain explains how to improve clinical outcomes for patients with neuropsychiatric disorders of all ages, and how to create effective service systems for these patients and their families.
Dr. B Hibbs and Dr. Rostain talked with BYU Radio on why Generation Z is stressed.
Read Dr. Rostain's commentary for Thrive Global on the need for increased campus resources for mental health.
Healio interviews Dr. Rostain about prescribing stimulants to treat ADHD.
Listen to Dr. Rostain discuss ADHD in adults on Voices in the Family.
Listen to Dr. Rostain talk about kids and meds on Voices in the Family.
"Tony and B did a wonderful job sharing with our attendees! Their slides and commentary were right on target for what our educational leaders needed to hear and take back to their schools for impact. Indeed, mental health is so incredibly important as we teach and develop students for college and life."

Gooseberry Hill Primary School is located approximately 20 kilometres from the CBD in a unique bush setting with nearby national parks and local reserves and it is often frequented by a range of bird life and native wildlife. The school was established in 1972 and during this time has created an enviable record of being a nurturing school, committed to excellence and supported by a caring community.
The School became an Independent Public School in 2012 and this has given the school community some measure of autonomy to steer its guided path in the government school system. The School caters for students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
The experienced school staff members have developed a real sense of community and commitment to the school and assist in developing and coordinating programs which assist students to learn.
Once again it has been an amazing term filled with lots of activities and events that just add to the whole school culture that exists at Gooseberry Hill PS. If we look at the list it is extensive with swimming lessons, parent evenings, leadership incursions, Sculptures by the Sea, Interschool Cricket, Faction and Interschool Swimming, Gina Williams, Just Dance Friday's, the Year 3 sleepover and of course the Easter Hat Parade, Harmony Day and ANZAC Service to finish off the term.
The school will hold its annual ANZAC Service this Friday at 9am in the courtyard outside the Keene Undercover Area. This is a great opportunity for all students and their families to pay their respects and remember why ANZAC Day is still a very significant part of our culture.
As announced at the assembly yesterday, GHPS has been successful in attaining a $5000 grant from Bendigo Bank to go towards STEM resources. Specifically, the grant will assist the school in training and nominating in the regional First LEGO League which is an upper primary program where students build, program and compete with a robot, whilst also learning about modern problem in science and engineering and developing solutions for it.

We do not recommend that you treat breast tumors without an appointment from the Ayurvedic physician so that you can understand the multi-therapy approach that would be right for your specific constitution and condition. The following formula comes from the ancient healing system of Ayurveda. It should be accompanied by either Kalmegh or Astragulus and Ashwagandha according to your constitution. You will receive a diagram of reflexology points as well as the formula. Frankincense resin is sometimes indicated for this imbalance as well.
At the end of the medical descriptions are the sources of western research confirming the use of these plant medicines. As western medicine continually looks to Ayurveda as a source of making new drugs and more profit, the wisdom of Ayurveda is confirmed.
96 capsules of organic: Chitrak, Musta, Shatavari, Tulsi, Ashwagandha, Bhringaraj.
Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica) is an Ayurvedic plant medicine used for thousands of years for breast tumors or pancreatic cancer. It contains plumbagin which is able to modulate RANKL (a tumor necrosis factor associated with cancer-associated bone re-absorption), osteoclastogenesis and breast cancer-induced osteolysis. The study showed how Plumbagin was able to suppress also differentiation of these cells into osteoclasts.
The overall results of this study indicate that active constituents found in Plumbago zeylanica are potent inhibitors of osteoclastogenesis induced by tumor cells and of breast cancer induced osteolytic metastasis through suppression of RANKL signalling.
Musta (Cyperus rotundus L.) "is a well documented traditional medicinal herb. Its rhizome has been reported to possess wide spectrum pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms of the anticancer activity have not been elucidated. In the present study, we investigated the pro-apoptotic effects of C. rotundu rhizomes in a human breast carcinoma MDA-MB-231 cell model....provide important new insight into the anticancer effects of an ethanol extract of C. rotundu rhizomes" (basically a tincture).
Shatavari is known to inhibit tumor incidence, helping to prevent cancer. Laboratory studies have shown that animals feeding on Shatavari extract diet could avert the incidence of tumor and chemical-induced cancer of mammary glands."

Is the U.S. Wind Industry Losing Ground?
October 8, 2010 by Taylor Johnson
We've all read the news that the United States has, after four years of remarkable growth, relinquished its' position as the most attractive country for renewable energy investments. But rather than state the news, I want to discuss why we are slowly slipping behind our foreign competitors.
One key factor in the U.S. decline is the failure of congress to provide any form of certainty to the market. You've no doubt heard that the pleas for a national Renewable Energy Standard (RES) have fallen on deaf ears as senators and representatives shy away from legislation that may negatively impact their re-election chances in November. Several pieces of pro-renewable energy legislation have been proposed and brought before Congress, but in the spirit of partisan behavior our beloved congress has failed to produce any results. As such, the tax credits and cash grants that have led to a booming renewable energy economy over the last four years are coming to an end, and no legislation is in place to support the industry afterward. On top of this (and a bit of a side note) the "Bush Tax Cuts" are coming to an end as 2010 concludes. Although this is not directly related to renewable energy, increasing tax rates also increases the level of investment uncertainty in our country.
So why is Congress having such a hard time passing a bill that will both improve our economic future and decrease our dependence on foreign energy? In a word: Money. It all boils down to money, cold hard cash. Businesses and their lobbyists are working away on Capitol Hill, whispering in the ears of our representatives, planting the idea that if the federal government supports renewable energy development than energy prices will jump to a level that is too high for businesses to maintain their global competitive advantage. Unfortunately this is just not the case. In fact, the U.S. has by far the lowest energy costs in the world. Our national average (commercial) price is under $0.05/kWh whereas our nearest competitor, China, spends roughly $0.11/kWh. Though, even if we were to put that point out of the way, there is still enough evidence to refute these anti-renewable energy lobbyists in just one point. The implementation of a national 15% Renewable Energy Standard will only increase our energy costs by a fraction of one cent per kilowatt-hour.
Furthermore, this discussion of costs is only looking at the short-term cost increases and brings into account the possible decommissioning of old and heavily polluting coal-fired plants. However, if we were to look at the long-term outcome we would find that the costs level out, or hit an equilibrium point, after somewhere in the neighborhood of 30 years. As we look further into the future, say 50 or 60 years, renewable energy and the hedge that it provides will likely prove beneficial on a national cost perspective.
Now, to wrap up my thoughts, I'd like to address the issue of infrastructure and innovation right here in the U.S. of A. Though we as a nation have among both the highest wind and solar potential in the world, we are severely behind in manufacturing infrastructure and innovation advances. Often we make the mistake of assuming that the U.S. is the world's thought-leader, and that we inherently have (almost) the right to innovate while other countries will manufacture and produce. Though this may have been the way of the past, countries like China, India, and South Korea are stepping up to the plate while simultaneously we as a country are withering away, unsure of our future, and afraid (at least Congress is) to take a stance and become the leader in renewable energy.

The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation is a privately funded, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides academic scholarships to children of United States Marines and Navy Corpsmen.  The Scholarship Foundation is the Nation's oldest and largest provider of need-based scholarship to military children. Their funding is provided by private supporters, including individuals, corporations, and other nonprofit foundations. The organization's mission is to "Honor Marines by Educating Their Children."

Work

Since its founding in 1962, the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation has provided more than 40,000 scholarships, valued at over $125 million. Their scholarships provide access to affordable education for the children of Marines and Navy Corpsmen attending post-high school, undergraduate, and career technical education programs.

The Scholarship Foundation's scholarship reports that:
•	45% of recipients majors in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and health science majors (compared to 33% nationally)
•	50% are first-generation college students (compared to 33% nationally)
•	90% of recipients graduate or are on track to graduate (compared to 53% nationally)

In addition, the Scholarship Foundation has been recognized by the Better Business Bureau for satisfying 20 out of 20 standards for charity accountability, transparency, and sound financial management.

The Scholarship Foundation's awards are primarily need-based. Qualified applicants must be the child of a Marine or Navy Corpsmen, and their maximum family income must not exceed that of the current pay scale of a sergeant major.

The Scholarship Foundation cites the mounting toll of the War on Terror, the rising costs of education, and the maturation of a new generation of Marines as an urgent call for increasing support.

Scholarship applications are accepted January 1 - March 1, annually, via the Scholarship Foundation's website: www.mcsf.org

Origin

The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation began by helping one child. In New York City in 1962, a group of service-minded Marines, led by Brigadier General Martin F. Rockmore, learned that a Marine World War II Medal of Honor recipient could not afford to send his child to college. Concerned, General Rockmore and his peers organized a charity ball that December, which raised $1,500 (1962 dollars); at the Ball, these funds were awarded as a scholarship to a single student. The annual charity ball, known as the New York Leatherneck Ball, continues to this day, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2012. The original event has inspired numerous balls, galas, golf tournaments, and other fundraisers across the country.  Today, the Scholarship Foundation, with the assistance of volunteers across the country, hosts more than 35 fundraising activities annually.

Special Commitments

Through its "Heroes Tribute for Children of the Fallen" and "Heroes Tribute for Children of the Wounded" scholarship programs, the Scholarship Foundation has made special commitments to the sons and daughters of Marines and Navy Corpsmen whose parent has been killed or wounded in combat.

Leadership

The Chairman of the Scholarship Foundation's  Board of Directors is Lieutenant General George J. Trautman III USMC (Ret.). Lieutenant General Robert R. Ruark USMC (Ret.) has served as the President and CEO of the Scholarship Foundation since 2017. Lieutenant General Stephen G. Olmstead served as Chairman of the Scholarship Foundation's in 1990s.

Location

The Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation is located in Alexandria, Virginia.

Everybody likes free stuff. I do too, but there is no free lunch in life. That's exactly how I feel about reward and cash back credit cards. I know people who will charge thousands of dollars per year just to get a $250 plane ticket. Think about it, 1% cash back requires you to spend $5,000 to receive a $50 gift card or check. Seems silly.
Here are some reasons to reconsider these cards.
This is ingenious on the part of the bank issuing the credit card. A small reward to encourage you to carry a balance or to collect those swipe fees. This is my number one reason for not liking these cards. They encourage spending, which can encourage credit card debt. The average American's credit card balance is over $15,000. The misery of debt can interfere with any well constructed financial plan.
Here's where the free lunch part doesn't hold water. Most of these rewards and cash back credit cards have interest rates that are typically higher. Usually around 2-3% higher to pay for all those rewards you're getting. Why not just get a low-interest rate card to begin with?
One in four credit cards have an annual fee. That annual fee averages about $50. Ironically, this is the average reward if you don't carry a balance. Of course, you could always give the credit card company a call and get this fee waived.
I'm not sure what the statistics are regarding unused credit card rewards and points, but many people never use them. There are a variety of reasons, but one would be switching cards before using the points. Another reason is some people just don't have a lifestyle that fits the type of card they are using.
Look, the main reason that every other credit card commercial is about rewards, is because it is such good business for the bank or card issuer. So that probably means it's not good for your overall financial health. So the next time a credit card company argues, "but it's more money", do what the baby does and throw it back in their face!

Q: Javascript confirm dialog in iOS UIWebView freezes app I have an iOS app which has a UIWebView in which I have a javascript opening a javascript confirm dialog. Once this opens the app "freezes". It's not completly frozen, the debugger says everything is fine, rotating the screen will work once, then not anymore. But most importantly I just can't confirm the dialog or do anything else.
I can't really give code for that. It's just a javascript confirmation box called like this
 if(!confirm('String')) return;

Does anyone have an idea where this could come from? I'm open to any suggestions.
Thanks

A: I had this same issue when I had the alert/confirm dialog inside of an onchange event. The solution was to wrap the code containing the alert/confirm statements inside a setTimeout function.
