Laparoscopic Novel Technique of Developing a Normal Vagina: The Role of Stem Cells and Genes


I have recently discovered yet another dippy hippy activity – my husband's words, not mine. I am talking about Hal Elrod's Miracle Morning.
Now the idea behind this is to raise early and to carry out six activities before you start your day.
The morning starts with SAVERS (an acronym to help us to remember the daily routine).
S is for Silence – Meditation, quiet time.
S is for Scribing – journalling about the day ahead.
So, I thought I would give it a go as my New Year New Me thing. Yes, we all do it, don't pretend you haven't. Miracle Morning here we come.
So on New Years Eve, after saying Goodbye to 2015 I set my alarm for an early start to give this a shot.
However, we had a problem. As often is the case, some people want to keep celebrating until much later (I was one of them before Children) and some people thought this had to involve fireworks of the large bang variety at 3.30am.
Now this would have been a tad annoying but bearable if we didn't have the big issue of our dog. Berts is fab and a great family dog but Berts and fireworks are not a great combination.
When Berts hears fireworks, like most dogs he likes to bark very loudly.
Again, this would have been ok but Berts also has a personal issue and when he is scared, he likes to pass wind.
Now, this does not produce a "oh that's a bit whiffy" aroma. Oh no, this produces a "OMFG what has crawled up your backside and died" aroma; a "please pass me a gas mask now" aroma. And the aroma lingers. And he wags his tail to ensure maximum distribution.
For a small dog, he can produce the most toxic evil fumes known to man, in great quantity.
So, at 3.30 this morning, we had to wake up and put the TV on loudly until 5am when the young people without children or dogs finished their impromptu firework display.
When my alarm went off, I quickly turned it off and rolled over.
At 9am I decided to join the brave souls who were up and of course, my eldest was wide awake.
Trying to meditate for 10 minutes was a challenge. We got there eventually but I think we did it in 5 x 2 minute sessions. I managed the Exercise and Affirmations at the same time – Couch to 5K in front of the sofa whilst chanting about my love for myself (oh well I will try anything once) and I managed the Visualisation whilst hiding in the loo. The Reading and Scribing came later but I did manage to fit it all in before lunch time.
I think perhaps Hal did not have dogs, or kids, or New Year's eve fireworks to battle with when he came up with the idea. But I do confess that managing to achieve the six steps (albeit over a three hour period) did make me feel much more productive than normal. Water filters have been changed, tumbler condenser cleaner, kitchen has been scrubbed, shopping has been ordered, three loads of washing are complete and so I am now thinking that there may be something to this. I may feel differently tomorrow morning but I am going to stick with it for January just to see what difference it makes.
I think I will either have to complete it after children have left for the day or try to get up before my eldest (not a challenge I fancy to be honest) but I am going to give it my best shot.
What new habits are you introducing in January?
I am always keen to learn about new ideas and goals – so let me know what your goals and plans are.
Don't forget to sign up for updates so you can join me in my attempts to have my Miracle Morning for the next month (and hopefully year).
I will keep you posted. Four days in and so far, I'm certainly seeing some small improvements but the test will be once all the children return to school and our routine reappears.
Hilarious! I just succumbed to the hype and ordered this book. My husband gets up at 3:30 to go to work every morning, meanwhile I go back to sleep and then there is intense chaos trying to get out the door. I think a morning routine might balance some of that out. Or not lol.
Four days in and a mixture of success and chaos, I can say it does make a difference. I certainly feel more productive and ready for the day.

Pittsburgh - April 27 - 30, 2023
Camp Fee: $875
Deposit Amount: $200 (Balance due 45 days before camp)
Camp Description: This camp is at the brand new, state of the art, UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex! This is the practice facility of the Pittsburgh Penguins. It is truly an amazing facility. Don't miss it.
At Weekend Warriors we have something for every player. Whether you're a new player who needs proper guidance through the crucial early development phases, or an experienced player who has been playing for 30 years, our coaches will ensure that you get the training you need!
Goalies get special treatment, with our goalie specific curriculum led by one of our dedicated goalie coaches.
Women don't be intimidated. We have women players at all of our camps, and also have a number of female coaches on our talented staff.
"It was intense, but flowed such that everything built upon the last thing and I never felt overwhelmed. I learned more in 4 days than in a year of taking classes. Every single coach gave me actionable feedback that I could directly apply to improve my skating/skills immediately as well as advice on things to work on for longer term goals." – Mary Jo S.
"I can honestly say I learned more in one weekend than in 10 months of weekly group classes. Skating and passing are definitely improved. I felt like coaches made a real effort to get to know all the players, and work with them individually in each and every drill. It was fantastic - great coaches, great fellow players, fantastic drills. It's cliche, but I seriously can't think of a single thing that could have been done better!" - Jason M.

"This camp was amazing. It really has elevated my game as promised! " – Zoe U.
Coach Mox explains a drill
"Considering my age (50) and my experience (Limited), I'll admit I was really hesitant to do this. I figured I'd be in way over my head. I'm so glad I didn't let my fear keep me from coming because this camp was great. I felt welcomed by everyone (coaches and fellow players), there was no judgment at all, and I learned and improved a lot. I've taken classes before but never have I had so much feedback and individual help and I feel like it really helped me in so many areas. I still have a long way to go, but for once I feel like I'm headed in the right direction and the coaches gave me enough that I can now practice on my own and actually improve. I"d recommend this camp to anyone who is looking to improve their skills." – Lisa R.
Photo: Coach Nick helps a player with her crossover
"I'm so appreciative of the coaches. Sure, they show up to the camp, but no one is making them care about me and my game. They bring that themselves, and it really shows in their interactions with attendees." – Steven "Cap" P.

Union is een amateurvoetbalclub uit Malden die is opgericht in 1914. De voetbalclub maakt gebruik van Sportpark de Kluis en beschikt over een hoofdveld van kunstgras.

Geschiedenis
Union is een statutair Nijmeegse vereniging die speelt op het grondgebied van buurgemeente Heumen. De club maakte zich, om tot de KNVB toe te treden, in 1934 los van de R.K. Sportvereniging Union die in 1914 opgericht werd aan de St. Josephschool aan de Hertogstraat en tot wasdom kwam aan het Nijmeegse Canisius College om haar externe leerlingen, die niet in het internaat zaten, aan sport te laten doen. Onder dit groot Union viel ook een hockeyafdeling, het huidige RKHV Union, een tennisafdeling, de huidige Union Lawn en Tennisvereniging Union en er werd ook aan cricket gedaan. Er werd gespeeld aan de Groenewoudseweg.

In 1920 werd voetbalclub Juliana opgenomen en van 1923 tot 1926 werd als Keizer Karel gespeeld. In 1934 sloot de club zich aan bij de neutrale NVB en ging uit het katholieke verband. Het Canisius College ontnam de club het RK voorvoegsel en richtte een nieuwe club V.C.C. op. Toch bleef de band bestaand. In 1950 kocht het Canisius College voor zowel de voetbal- als de hockeyclub, die naar de Driehuizerweg verhuisd was, het terrein De Kluis omdat de gemeente Nijmegen het terrein aan de Groenewoudseweg wilde gebruiken en de universiteit het terrein aan de Driehuizerweg. Het nieuwe terrein was aan het einde van de Tweede Wereldoorlog in gebruik geweest als tijdelijk Brits vliegveld airstrip De Kluis, genoemd naar een oude boerderij op die plaats. In 1952 werd het complex in gebruik genomen.

Today on This is Horror — Meet the Writer: Mike Thorn
What first attracted you to horror writing?
Reflecting on my earliest childhood encounters with horror, I remember being initially attracted to the genre's visual iconography, above all else. It seems impossible to separate my desire to write horror from my interest in reading horror. These two things are inextricably bound.
Read the full interview.
Influences on Shelter for the Damned: Novels About Obsession (Guest Post on Where the Reader Grows)
Obsession is a primary driving force in Shelter for the Damned, as the novel's protagonist, Mark, becomes intensely fixated on a shack he discovers in a suburban field. As the Shack begins revealing its weird sentience, Mark's interest grows. His relationship to the Shack eventually becomes horrifically parasitic, evoking the nature of debilitating addiction.
While writing Shelter for the Damned, I was conscious of several other books focused on obsession and dependency. I was especially interested in novels that used first-person or quasi-omniscient style to depict their protagonists' experiences. I have provided snapshots for some of the most overt influences on Shelter for the Damned below…
Read the guest post.
Q&A with Mike Thorn on Hellnotes
What authors influenced you growing up? Who are you reading now?
As a young kid, I was really excited by J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and R. L. Stine. Discovering Stephen King as a preteen was a big deal, and the same goes for encountering Hubert Selby Jr. in my teens.
These days, I try to read as widely as possible. I'm currently making my way through Drawn Up from Deep Places, by Gemma Files, which is terrific. I was recently floored by two Henry James novels—The Portrait of a Lady and The Bostonians.

Second All-Girls Charter School to Open
By Brittany Wagner on Sep 21, 2015
This school year, Hawthorn Leadership Academy opened its doors as the first all-girls public charter school in Missouri. Now, the state Board of Education has approved an application for a second all-girls public charter school—Tessera Hall.
Tessera Hall will open to sixth- and seventh-graders, but will expand to include grades 8 through 12 in South St. Louis City during the 2016–2017 academic year. As the Post-Dispatch reported, a group of St. Elizabeth Academy alumni started working to build the school after St. Elizabeth closed in 2013.
Like the once private, religious De La Salle Middle School, which reopened this year as a public charter school, St. Elizabeth struggled with enrollment. Mike McShane, who recently joined the Show-Me Institute as the Director of Education Policy, wrote about this phenomenon in Sector Switchers: Why Catholic Schools Convert to Charters and What Happens Next. While charters like La Salle no longer deliver a religious education, access to public dollars allows them to remain open, ultimately carrying on their mission—providing a quality educational service to a low-income population.
Tessera Hall's charter school application says it plans to recruit young women in low-performing schools like Roosevelt High School, where 70% of girls score below basic in mathematics. The application reads:
The proposed mission, curriculum, teaching methods and services of Tessera Hall Academy are designed to meet the particular needs of the adolescent urban girls of St. Louis by providing an inclusive and academically challenging experience in a safe, affirming, and empowering environment that enables these young women to achieve success in college, become civicminded leaders, and be resilient life-long learners.
I look forward to hearing more about the state's second single gender public charter school, as well as other future charter school options. The Missouri State Board of Education accepts charter school applications up until the December board meeting.
Single gender or mixed, students need more quality educational choices.

Hey Jammers! Puppy99NMS here. Sorry Gold I didn't post for the following two days, I was on a trip. Anyways, I know Goldy didn't want these kind of posts on her blog, but I just want to let my fans know as well. KaelynKaelyn and I won't be getting on at all anymore. Yes, we're quitting. I don't care if we have haters out there that don't believe us. However, here are some extrodinarily great reasons why we're qutting. I name them A-Z, just when Free quit.
Yep, These are all Good Reasons We're Quitting. I hope I don't upset any of our fans. I'd Also Like to tell all those people who have blamed kaelyn and I for things we didn't do and having to say sorry over and over.
You spelled pity wrong. You spelled it like 'pitty.' Lol that sounds like a nut or something like the inside of the apple where the seed is.
And the first comment doesn't even care.


History: The Barber coinage consisted of a dime, quarter, and half dollar designed by United States Bureau of the Mint Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber. They were minted between 1892 and 1916, though no half dollars were struck in the final year of the series.
By the late 1880s, there were increasing calls for the replacement of the Seated Liberty design, used since the 1830s on most denominations of silver coins. In 1891, Mint Director Edward O. Leech, having been authorized by Congress to approve coin redesigns, ordered a competition, seeking a new look for the silver coins. As only the winner would receive a cash prize, invited artists refused to participate and no entry from the general public proved suitable. Leech instructed Barber to prepare new designs for the dime, quarter, and half dollar, and after the chief engraver made changes to secure Leech's endorsement, they were approved by President Benjamin Harrison in November 1891. Striking of the new coins began the following January.
Public and artistic opinion of the new pieces was, and remains, mixed. In 1915, Mint officials began plans to replace them, after the design's minimum term expired in 1916. The Mint issued Barber dimes and quarters in 1916 to meet commercial demand, but before the end of the year, the Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Walking Liberty half dollar had begun production. Most dates in the Barber coin series are not difficult to obtain, but the 1894 dime struck at the San Francisco Mint (1894-S), with a mintage of 24, is a great rarity.


So, now you're looking at the 'clean' space that was once a massive to-do list of doom, what goes back ON it?
The short answer is, whatever you prioritize.
One of the major things many people need to think about is what they want to prioritize – it is, in most cases, physically impossible to do everything, and a lot of the problem with old to-do lists is knowing what's really, truly important and what you've picked up and can let go.
In general, the most important things for many people are items that further their overall goals – but the problem with stating it that baldly is that many people struggle to name their actual goals.
Sometimes the most difficult things to decide when setting your overall goal is what you're actually hoping to do. Especially for writers – it's easy to look at our list of wants and think they're goals – good sales, strong publication results and great reviews aren't actually goals – they're results.
You should set your goals easily and within guidelines that make sense to you. These goals should encompass where you want to be, not the resources that are out of your control.
My goal as an indie writer, is to be known and to share my books with the world. The problem is, I've not done much towards that as yet. I'm 'known', but not as an indie writer, not really. Instead, I'm tech support, I'm a writer who helps out on other groups, I've ghostwritten.
All of those are great and do contribute to the first part of my goal at least. So, I need to keep that balance and find time for writing too.
Whatever your goal is, remember there are communities out there that will help you. Dealing with overwhelm is something that many of us struggle with, but a supportive indie community, like The Indie Author Group is a great place to get support and feedback and see what you're doing, what you should be doing and how you'll get there in the end.
How to set your goals and actually achieve them.
To-do lists are very helpful.

Sony Announces FirstPlay – SCEE's Answer to Qore
February 15th, 2010 / Niraj Shah / News
Future and Sony Computer Entertainment Europe have today announced the launch of FirstPlay – Europe's answer to Qore and the first HD interactive show for gamers, exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and available to those living in Europe. Like Qore, FirstPlay aims to bring gamers HD reviews of previews of the latest games and content, including exclusive PSN downloads. FirstPlay will have it's own unique menu system and interface – different to that of Qore.
Weekly episodes of FirstPlay will be rolling out across selected European countries in March, and will expand to other PAL territories later in 2010. Gamers will be able to buy three-month subscriptions for £8.99 or purchase single episodes from 99p. With 13 episodes per quarter, £8.99 seems like a pretty good deal, saving the average gamer over £3.
FirstPlay's bespoke content is being created by a hand-picked team of TV and gaming veterans with the reviews and previews coming from the team behind the respected Official PlayStation Magazine team. FirstPlay will be supported by advertising, just like Qore so you can expect banner and pre/post-roll adverts.
"As PlayStation 3 moves the gaming experience to a more social and competitive online environment through the PlayStation Network, so it becomes critical that we're offering gamers the very best content and services through this channel. FirstPlay is a great example of this. Future has an outstanding track record in producing content for gamers that is informed, impartial, relevant and with the right production values, so we see them as a natural partner to work with as we move to on-console media development." – Ray Maguire, Senior Vice President of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Managing Director of Sony Computer Entertainment UK
"FirstPlay is a ground breaking development, not just for gamers, but for the media industry, and we are delighted to be partnering with Sony on this pioneering project. On-console delivery is an exciting next step in Future's strategy of providing high quality content for readers and integrated media solutions for advertisers. We believe that we've created a product that will appeal to gamers in a uniquely effective and targeted way." – Robert Price, Chief Executive of Future UK

WOW if they introducing this that means the Yearly Pay Thing Will Not Come Soon or It Will Only Be for countries like NA
ice2kewl says:
This sounds good. Although i'm currently deciding whether to go with a subscription for Playstation Official Magazine – UK. Anyone get these mags? what's the blu-ray content like? Any exclusive demos that you can't get on PSN?
FIRSTPLAY: European Qore Alternative Walkthrough | Playstation ThEvolution says:
[…] FirstPlay is Europes answer to Qore and the first HD interactive show for gamers, exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and available to those living in Europe – XtremePS3 […]
@ice2kewl I subscribe to the magazine but the content on the blu-ray isn't exclusive to the mag. Most of the demos are old and have been on the store for weeks. The demos also don't change that often. Its just easier to install from the disc so you don't have to download them.
February 17th, 2010 at 12:43 PM
@Niraj Shah Thanks for the info. I'll pass on the mag n wait for FirstPlay.

On average small businesses spend between two percent and five percent of their gross sales on marketing. Unfortunately, much of those funds are wasted in poorly planned and directed advertising efforts. Direct mail is one of the best ways to speak to your audience one-to-one. If done correctly, it allows you to target only potential customers…those consumers you are fairly sure want what you have to sell. As a direct marketer, you choose who you want to reach without your competition having knowledge of your message. There are three major components of any direct mail piece: format, message, and list.
Direct mail pieces can be formatted in a number of ways: letters, color brochures, free samples, and my favorite choice, postcards. Why postcards? They come in a variety of sizes, are easy to read and there's no envelope to open. Your message is in plain view, and best of all, they are relatively cheap compared to other forms of direct mail. There are many online retailers of direct mail postcards. One I recently used successfully was www.USAmailnow.com. You actually design your own postcard online. There are several sizes and design templates to choose from, and you can easily upload your own art work, logo, or picture of your product to use on the face of the postcard. You can even use one of their professionally done images, but in my opinion, using something more specific to your company is better. Simply upload your mailing list in Excel format, and you're done! USAmailnow prints, addresses, and mails your postcards. The cost of producing, printing, and mailing 1000 large postcards, first class, is approximately $650. For such a relatively low price, I was pretty skeptical of the quality of the cards. However, I was pleased to find that these postcards were full-color, 8 ½ x 5 ½, heavy card stock. I was impressed.
Direct mail postcards can be designed to achieve a variety of marketing objectives, such as promoting special events and offers to your existing customers such as sales or special discounts. Communicating special deals directly with your customers may make them feel they are receiving something that the general public is not. That's called "perceived value." Post cards can also be used as a follow-up method to maintain your customer base or introduce a new product. Research has proven that keeping your company name in front of existing customers will significantly increase the chances they will return. The use of certain key words in your message such as "free" will also increase your response rate.
Another key variable that affects your response rate is the quality of the mailing list you've compiled. A well developed, meaningful mailing list means the difference between junk mail and direct mail. You may be asking, "Where do I get my "list?" Hopefully, you've been compiling a database of your existing customers. If not, there are list brokers that sell mailing lists. The costs of these lists can range from six cents a name to thousands of dollars. Lists based on general demographic data such as age, household income, and geographic location are readily available and inexpensive. In fact, you can purchase this type list from www.USAmailnow.com, as well. More specialized lists consisting of people's buying habits, lifestyles, and recent purchases are available but more expensive.
According to a response rate survey done by the Institute of Direct Marketers, the average response rate for consumer-based mailings is 6.8 percent; and those that do respond do so based on the need for the product, seasonality, or the perceived value of the offer. By tracking and analyzing your responses, you should quickly be able to tell if your direct mail piece is paying for itself and if it's a worthwhile effort. Thanks to technology and the Internet, creating and using direct mail is easier than ever. Good luck!


Home|Bottle Warmer|How to Use a Baby Bottle Warmer?
When utilizing icy bust milk or home heating up the formula, using an electric bottle warmer can aid quicken the procedure as well as lead to also, slow-moving heat– perfect for obtaining the warm temperature that many babies like. Before you plug in your bottle warmer, make sure you review the manufacturer's guidelines to guarantee you're making use of the warmer both safely and properly.
Set up and also fill up the baby container with either icy or refrigerated breast milk or formula made when it comes to cleansed water. Place the assembled container in the bottle warmer while the warmer is both unplugged as well as empty.
Load the warmer with water– the warmer will have the ideal fill lines suggested for the dimension of the bottle you're making use of. Never load over the proper fill lines approximately that water is spilling over the sides of the warmer.
Plug in the warmer. You may additionally need to establish a degree of temperature. Child bottle warmers don't heat to high temperatures as a security precaution, yet you might have two or three different degrees of warmth to choose from, relying on your baby's inclinations.
Leave the bottle to heat. Some will shut down instantly, while others could specify times in the manufacturer's guidelines outlining the length of time to leave the bottle in the warmer to accomplish particular temperature levels. The temperature your baby prefers could need some trial and error– as the Kid's Physician Network points out, some prefer cold milk, while others like warmer milk.


Whenever somebody who is new to The Hobby asks me what they should collect, inevitably I recommend the same handful of products: Topps, Bowman, Upper Deck, Fleer Tradition, Topps Gallery, Stadium Club and Ultra. (For the record, Donruss and Leaf used to be on this list, that is until Playoff managed to butcher them up with short-prints and other collector unfriendly gimmicks). Although the 2004 edition bears little, if any, resemblance to the great Ultra sets of the mid-90s, it is still a "must have" addition to any serious baseball card collection.
Like I mentioned in my review of 2003 Fleer Tradition Update (see my website, I'll get around to posting it here soon), "retro" is now officially "played out." More proof of this: The design of the 2004 Ultra base set. It's one thing to rip off the design of a 1960s card set for a 2003 product, but quite another to rip off a 1999 design for a 2004 set. This year's Ultra base set is virtually indistinguishable from the Ultra set released just five years ago with the only difference being a "swipe" underneath the player's name. But that's not all! Oh no. The backs are virtual carbon copies of the 2002 Fleer Premium set!
Other than the design, the composition of the base set is pretty much consistent with what Fleer has been offering with Ultra over the last couple of years. The single series set features 200 cards of all the usual suspects and a 20 card "All-Rookie" subset that appears to be seeded one in every other pack. I say "appears" because, while the last couple of Ultra sets have had SPs, this year Fleer took a page from the Donruss deceptive marketing playbook. Nowhere is it mentioned that the All-Rookie subset cards are, in fact, short-printed. Granted, there are fewer of them to chase (20 as opposed to the 35-50 in previous years) and they are seeded at a little more generous ratio of 1:2. (as opposed to the 1:4 that the SPs were in previous Ultra offerings). So in theory, this year's Ultra set should be easier to build than in years before. Still, for a card company to include short-printed base set cards and fail to mention it to the collector is fraudlent, not to mention extremely unethical. They pulled a stunt like this two years ago with 2002 Fleer Tradition baseball (not coincedenitally the worst Fleer/Fleer Tradition set in ten years), and they did it again this year with Ultra. Hopefully, Fleer will come to their senses and not repeat this mistake in the future.
The Gold Medallions, one of the few one-per-pack parallels left, return for another year, with a Platinum version (each numbered to only 66 copies), coming every thirty-sixth pack. Each Medallion has one of it's corners clipped off to differentiate it from the base cards, as if the Gold and Platinum foil fronts wasn't enough. Also, it appears that the All-Rookie Gold Medallions and Platinum Medallions were seeded separately from the short set GMs. In every pack that produced an ARGM or a PM, I also received a short set GM.
Ultra's non-parallel insert program includes the 20 card "Ultra Performers," 30 card "Kings," and ten "Diamond Producers," all of which have a game used parallel version (more on those later). The Kings are actually three different 10 card sets in one (Home Run, RBI and Strikeout Kings), and are modeled after similar themed inserts from Ultra sets gone by. There's also a Gold version that's numbered to 50 copies each. The Diamond Producers are seeded at the rate of 1:144 packs (that's one in every six boxes), and are actually a tougher pull (or is it "tuffer pull?") than the game used quasi-parallel version.
Speaking of which, all of the autographs and game used cards are de facto parallels, or in the case of the 50 card Season Crowns, de facto partial parallels. The SCs take the design of the base set and add either an autograph or a jersey swatch. Both come in regular and Gold flavors. The Ultra Performers and Diamond Producers game jersey cards come in both regular and Gold "UltraSwatch" versions as well. Like I previously mentioned, the game used Diamond Producers are easier to pull from the packs than the non-game used version. A pretty novel concept if you ask me. The UltraSwatch cards have a piece of a uniform patch and are serial numbered to the respective player's uniform number. The showcase inserts in 2004 Ultra though, are the Ultra Kings Triple Swatch cards. These cards feature game used patches from one player from each of the three different Kings sets, and each are limited to only 33 serial numbered copies.
The box delivered just about everything that was promised. I received 70 percent of the base set (including 60% of the short-printed All-Rookies). Inserts and parallels came as listed and I received an extra game used card. What curious about the game used cards is that, although I did receive three gamers (as opposed to the two promised), I one the three was not from the one-per-box Season Crowns.
1) Wait a couple of months.
2) Release a second series.
The first option, waiting until 2004 to release a "2004" product, other than making much more sense, would also allow more than enough time to include free agents and traded players. Also, one of the worst things Fleer did to the Ultra brand was to make it a single series. This is a product that deserves to a second series or update series made. Besides, I'd much rather purchase a box of 2004 Ultra series 2 than crap like Box Score, Hardball or Authentix. My recommendation to Jim Stefano, Lloyd Pawlak and the rest of the gang is to hold off on releasing the first series until January (at the earliest), and to replace one of the aforementioned mid-summer premium price-point products (try saying that five times as fast as you can), with a second series of Ultra.
Product Rating: 2 1/2 Gumsticks out of 5.
I would have given this 3 1/2 if they had only listed the short-prints on the packaging.
Collation Rating: 4 1/2 Gumsticks out of 5.
Do I recommend this product: Yes. Despite it's flaws, it's still Fleer Ultra, and it deserves to be in your collection.

"Considering Behaviour Of New Owner…": Political Party Leaves Twitter
Freedom Movement party holds 41 of the 90 seats in parliament. (Representational)
Slovenia:
Slovenia's ruling Freedom Movement party (GS) said Saturday it had decided to stop using Twitter over concerns the social network was being used to spread fake news and hate speech.
"Considering the behaviour and announcements by Twitter's new owner and management, we can expect they will further open its doors to indecent communication and hate speech," GS said in a statement, referring to the platform's recent takeover by billionaire Elon Musk.
Liberal Prime Minister Robert Golob's party won April's parliamentary elections with a programme that promised restoring decency in politics and strengthening the rule of law, which critics say was undermined by former conservative prime minister Janez Jansa.
Jansa, an avid user of Twitter with over 100,000 followers in a country of two million, used the platform to attack critics and media — while Golob said he would not use Twitter "to avoid the temptation of fast fingers".
The GS – which holds 41 of the 90 seats in parliament – said its Twitter account had been blocked for three weeks due to technical problems and over time it had realised it did not need it to efficiently address citizens.
"At the same time, the platform has been abused by members and supporters of some political parties to polarise society, spread fake news, manipulate, discredit, offend or even to use hate speech," the GS said, adding it does not want to be part of it.

Home / Features and News / What Microsoft's Downbeat Outlook Means for Tech ETFs
What Microsoft's Downbeat Outlook Means for Tech ETFs
An earnings beat from Microsoft Corp. was overshadowed by disappointing guidance for the tech giant's cloud unit, sinking shares of the Redmond, Washington-based firm as well as other cloud-related stocks and exchange-traded funds.
After the bell on Tuesday, Microsoft reported its fiscal 2Q earnings came in at $2.32 per share, edging ahead of the $2.30 analysts were expecting based on Bloomberg consensus estimates.
Microsoft reported revenues of $52.76 billion, slightly below the $52.93 billion analysts were anticipating.
On a year-over-year basis, revenues were up by only 2%—the slowest pace of growth since 2016. Adjusting for currency fluctuations, Microsoft's revenue growth was 7%.
Low Bar
As tepid as Microsoft's growth was in the second quarter, it seemed to have cleared the low bar that the company set in its first-quarter earnings conference call. The stock's initial reaction—up as much as 5% in the after-hours market—reflected investors' relief that the 2Q numbers weren't worse.
The 38% constant currency revenue growth in Microsoft's Azure business unit was also seen as relatively robust, helping to offset the 16% plunge in sales at the company's personal computing division.
The cloud unit is the linchpin of Microsoft's ambitions to capture a significant portion of the growing value of digital technologies. Everything from enterprise software-as-a-service to AI models to streaming services runs on cloud computing platforms like Azure.
That's why when Microsoft CFO Amy Hood told analysts on the 2Q earnings conference call that Azure growth would decelerate to around 30%, the stock gave up all of its gains and more.
The stock fell as much as 4.6% on Wednesday morning, though as of this writing, the stock had recovered nearly all of its losses.
ETF Impact
As the second-most valuable company in the U.S. behind Apple Inc., movements in Microsoft have an outsized impact on many ETFs.
The stock's weighting in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) is more than 5%, and nearly 12% in the Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ).
Aside from the direct impact of Microsoft's stock performance on these ETFs, the company's comments carry a lot of weight for the tech sector in general.
When Microsoft noted that customers are exercising caution and the firm's results weakened through December, that was interpreted as a bad omen for other tech companies—particularly those selling software and cloud services.
Everything from Amazon.com Inc. to Salesforce Inc. to Datadog dropped on Wednesday morning, pulling down ETFs like the WisdomTree Cloud Computing ETF (WCLD) and the Global X Cloud Computing ETF (CLOU).
Bottoming Out?
Yet as downbeat as Microsoft's near-term outlook was, the impact on the company's stock and the broader tech sector was relatively limited.
A few months ago, the type of guidance Microsoft provided would have led to much heftier losses for stocks in the industry, suggesting a lot of bad news has been priced into these names.
Stocks are forward-looking and tend to move ahead of the fundamentals. So if the next quarter or two mark the bottom for the growth in tech spending, it makes sense that tech stocks and ETFs would rise ahead of that.
But that assumes that the bottom is around the corner.
The deceleration in revenue growth for many tech companies over the past few quarters is largely a function of tech spending reverting to the mean after two years of gangbuster growth in the aftermath of COVID-19.
It's the same reason all of these companies are laying off workers and their stocks have collapsed. The tech sector essentially went through its own boom/bust cycle that's been separate from the broader economy.
The broader economy is still important, and if Fed rate hikes push it into a recession, spending on tech products and services could dip further, taking tech stocks and ETFs down with it.
Yet if a recession can be avoided, maybe we've already seen the worst for this group.

There are certain types of exercises that can greatly assist in keeping your heart healthy and strong. Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in Australia, so it's important that we take care of our heart as best we can. After all, we only have one!
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) refers to a class of diseases that involve the heart and/or blood vessels (i.e. arteries). The main types of CVD in Australia are coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure/cardiomyopathy. Less common forms include rheumatic and congenital heart disease.
By recognising the warning signs and symptoms and seeking medical care promptly, you may be able to avert or reduce the severity of a heart attack or stroke.
30 minute stroll is all it takes to get theblood flowing and heart rate elevated. Even better, find a hill with a steady incline to help make it that little bit harder, your heart will thank you for it.
Weight training is critical for people with heart disease. In addition to building muscle mass, which will help you burn fat, weight training is also good for bone health as well as your heart. When it comes to deciding what type of weight training to do, using your own body weight can be extremely effective. The challenge is incorporating proper progression. Adjust the tempo/speed of your movements to increase the difficulty. For example, once you can do 20 push ups with ease, challenge yourself by slowing down and counting to four as you raise yourself up, and then again as you lower yourself down.
A steady run is an excellent way to stay in shape, but running intervals will really push your cardiovascular fitness to the next level. Whether it's sprints or hill climbs, all you need to do is 10 seconds at a time. Ideally, keep the intensity for a full 10 seconds, and ensure you go all out. Start with four 10-second intervals per workout, eventually working your way up to doing it 10 times. I recommend doing the intervals first, so not only do you have the energy to do them, but this type of training will deplete some of the glycogen or carbohydrate stored in the muscle, which will allow you to tap into stored fat more readily – awesome!
Tip: Work hard enough to get out of breath and then take whatever minimal rest period you need to recover, before you do it all again!
You can do this outdoors on your own bike, or in the gym on a stationary bike. Regular cycling can substantially reduce your risk for coronary heart disease. Studies show that cycling 32km every week can reduce the risk of developing heart disease by a whopping 50 per cent! Cycling uses large muscle groups in the legs to elevate your heart rate, which helps to improve your cardiovascular fitness while also burning calories. It's even been shown to improve mental health – bonus!
You don't have to be doing activities of high intensity to increase your heart health and, in fact, pushing your heart rate up and down quickly can be hazardous to those who are out of shape. At first glance, yoga may not seem like an obvious heart health activity, but it is. Yoga is great for strength and muscle toning, and there are so many styles of yoga, you're sure to find something that will elevate your heart rate and that you'll enjoy.

Intention Setting
With the start of a new season, it's a good time to re-evaluate where we are. The end of the year is appraoching and setting intentions will help to ensure we reach the goals we set for 2015.
Merriam-Webster defines an intention as "the thing that you plan to do or achieve: an aim or purpose." Ever hear the expression "Well, the stars were all aligned for that one"? That's what an intention does. Sometimes without one, we stray without meaning or direction. With an intention, the universe's forces align to make even the most difficult thing possible. Your intentions will give you greater control of your life.
Be sure the subconscious and conscious minds are fully aligned. Since the subconscious drives the conscious you can say you want something -- but if the subconscious says "I'm not good enough, I can't do this, I don't deserve it", your goal most likely won't be accomplished.
Here are 5 tips for intention setting:
• Be clear and specific. Sometimes people say things like, "I want more abundance." Well, that's really pretty vague, because abundance can mean many things, from family to money to nature -- so if it's money you want, then say that. If it's relationship and family, say that. Place deadlines, or a time frame, on your goals. • Watch your language! Did you know the word "want," really means "lack?" So never say "I want a new job"-- but, maybe, "I choose to have a new job." Don't use the word "should," either. It makes you sound like a victim. "I hope," just leaves the door open for potential defeat. Better to say, "I will." • Lather, rinse, repeat... Write down your intention, say it and repeat it over and over again. • Look forward, not back. Focus on what your life will look like when the goal is achieved -- and if it helps, create a vision board. • Practice gratitude. Each night write down a couple of things for which you are grateful. Gratitude is one of the best ways to create the abundance consciousness. You'll focus on the source of all those things that came into your life -- and they'll continue to open to you. You'll also remove the ego and get in touch with your spirit. • Be determined. All the time, not just when you've reached your goal. "Though one may seem to have attained success for the moment, one will start to regress the instant one becomes careless and ceases making effort, beginning a slide toward defeat. Those who are continually pressing ahead are genuinely successful," writes Buddhist spiritual leader Daisaku Ikeda.

Norris Castle er et slot der ligger Isle of Wight. Det blev designet af James Wyatt til Lord Henry Seymour. Ejendommen ligger op til Osborne House, der var et af dronning Victoria hjem. På den anden side af Norris Castle ligger ejendommen Spring Hill, der blev købt William Goodrich i 1794. Norris Castle blev opført i 1799 og ligger på 225 hektar land omkring 1,5 km fra vandet. Norris Castle eren listed building af første grad.

Parken og haverne omkring Norris Castle er de eneste der er fredet af første grad af Historic England. De er sandsynligvis tegnet i 1799 af Humphry Repton, og inkluderer en have omkranset af en mur med krenelering.

På trods af sin storslåethed har bygningen længe haft problemer med at skaffe midler til vedligehold.

The oral version of this medication sold approximately $186M USD in the United States in 2017, according to IQVIA data.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 03, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aequus Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX-V:AQS) (OTCQB:AQSZF) ("Aequus" or the "Company"), a specialty pharmaceutical company with a focus on developing, advancing and promoting differentiated products, announced today that the Company has received positive feedback from the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") on its pre-Investigational New Drug ("pre-IND") submission for the Company's long-acting anti-nausea transdermal patch, AQS1303. Through the pre-IND feedback, the Company has received clear regulatory guidance for AQS1303. The FDA confirmed that the planned Section 505(b)(2) abbreviated regulatory pathway, which allows for the Company to reference safety and efficacy data of the original oral tablet Diclegis ®, is appropriate for submission in a New Drug Application ("NDA") for the program in the United States.
In support of the Company's planned clinical strategy, the FDA indicated that a pharmacokinetic bridging strategy, to allow bridging to the safety and clinical pharmacology information from Diclegis ®, and a single clinical efficacy study, would likely be acceptable for an NDA submission. The FDA also outlined additional standard studies required of a transdermal patch to evaluate the local safety and to ensure that consistent and predictable dosing is achieved over the dosing period.
Aequus owns global rights to this program and is excited about advancing both clinical and strategic discussions as the Company advances AQS1303 towards commercialization in major markets.
Aequus' long-acting transdermal anti-nausea patch, AQS1303, contains the combination of pyridoxine and doxylamine (the active ingredients in Diclegis ®/Diclectin ®) currently used to treat nausea and vomiting of pregnancy. AQS1303 is designed to provide patients with a convenient and reliable delivery system as an alternative to the currently marketed oral form, which is dosed up to four times per day. According to IQVIA data, Diclegis ® sales in the United States were approximately $186M USD for 2017.
Aequus has advanced AQS1303 through an initial Proof of Concept clinical study, completed in September 2017. The Proof of Concept study was a single-dose cross-over comparative bioavailability study versus the currently approved oral version, Diclegis ®/Diclectin ®, and was successfully completed in nine healthy female volunteers. The results suggested that sustained delivery of therapeutic levels of the active ingredients through the skin over a multi-day period is possible with the current formulation. The formulation was well tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.
Based on FDA feedback, this product is expected to follow a Section 505(b)(2) New Drug Application, an abbreviated clinical pathway in which the FDA would allow for the Company to reference safety and efficacy data of the original oral tablet form of the medication.

PENDLETON, Ore. – A former Oregon Youth Authority employee accused of having a sexual relationship with a teenage girl he supervised in juvenile prison has pleaded not guilty to charges of official misconduct and custodial sexual misconduct.
The East Oregonian reported Oregon State Police began investigating Gary Cross last year when the Youth Authority reported a possible relationship between the 38-year-old man and a former inmate at Oak Creek, a correctional facility for young women in Albany.
An affidavit says the teen had been pulled from Cross's work crew after she said she wore makeup to "look good for Gary." The Youth Authority began its investigation when Cross's wife told one of her husband's co-workers he was having an affair with a teen.
The Youth Authority paroled the girl last August to a Corvallis halfway house. Authorities say she ran away and was later spotted with Cross outside a Pendleton hotel.

Stories of Success – Chanel Garcia
"No other club let me perform at my best."
Chanel Garcia was born and raised in Albany, Ore. where she fell in love with soccer at a young age. Playing with local clubs and AYSO, teammate Paige Alexander (current 01G player) invited her to come tryout for her CFC club team under head coach, Alvaro Anaya. After two seasons with the team, coach Paul Goodwin needed help in showcase and invited Chanel to join. Following the tournament, Chanel was offered a spot on the 01G squad and felt at home.
"CFC felt like the right fit. They were able to get another level out of me."
On previous teams, Chanel felt as if there was no connection and no competition.
"The other teams were just 'whatever' to each other, but here at Capital FC it was truly a family where you could really rely on one another." Along with the family feel, Chanel said that the competition CFC presented was unlike any other. She stated that no other clubs at home gave her the opportunity to get to the next level – only CFC gave her the skills and competition to perform at her best.
Coming to CFC, Chanel was a part of our Scholarship Program that provides approximately 40% of players with financial assistance in the form of fee waivers or scholarships. Her scholarship allowed her to play at Capital and continue to grow.

Chanel is now playing as a Midfielder for Corban University where she is a first generation college student. She plans on majoring in biomedical sciences and entering the health field. On September 21st, she scored her first collegiate goal to give the Warriors a 2-1 victory over the College of Idaho.
"The coaching staff here at the club really opened doors for me when it came to college. They were the ones who told me I could play in college if I wanted to and got me in contact with multiple schools. I don't think I would have played in college if it wasn't for their motivation and connections."
Post her collegiate career, Chanel wants to stay connected in the soccer world and continue to play or coach. With two younger sisters now involved at Capital FC, she hopes to elevate their game as well. Chanel remains connected with her CFC squad and knows those are friendships that will last a lifetime.
"CFC really became family to me. No other club let me perform at my best. I wouldn't be who I am today without the level of play and coaches at this club."

Tracey Clement: Salt Experiments
My Salt Experiments are the remnants of a four-year-long investigation into the properties of salt and its collision with mild steel. These experiments were conducted in the realm of art, rather than science, but they still offer valuable knowledge. Specifically, they highlight the important fact that nature is a resilient and powerful force that does not do our bidding. I've completed my material investigation, but the experiments themselves are ongoing. They continue to react and change without any input from me, an apt and humbling metaphor for our relative insignificance in the greater scheme of things.

Hardware Upgrade
Magaziner Kombi very narrow aisle turret trucks and TCM forklifts from Carrylift are the perfect upgrades one of Britain's largest independent distributors of computer hardware.
Post author By Beno
VIP Computers, based in Warrington, is one of Britain's largest independent distributors of computer hardware.
An award-winning authorised distributor for some of the biggest names in electronics, the company began in 1990 when husband and wife team, Jatti and Avneet Sahni, moved to the area from Kuwait.
Building the company from the ground up, the Sahnis now oversee a group with over £225m in sales, supplying PC components and peripherals in the UK and beyond.
Consistent growth and strategic acquisitions and mergers helped it to expand considerably, with businesses in the US, Europe, plus the Far and Middle East; its own 'Zoostorm' brand and a strong reputation in education and the public sector. In addition to its distribution ties with Microsoft, Asus, AMD and Nvidia, the company also owns system builders CMS and Ergo.
The Warrington site is the group head office and 72,000 sq ft distribution and picking centre. With numerous local and national business awards, recognition in the Sunday Times Top Track 250 list and a strong, stable workforce, the reputation as a leading employer is clearly deserved.
Mike Taylor, VIP group finance director is responsible for all logistics and fulfilment activities. "The strategic decisions we take and ongoing investments are focused to achieve growth plans for the long term," says Mike. Another mainstay of the business is Rob Buchan, operations manager and the man charged with keeping the distribution side ticking over.
Maximising the Cube
"My aim is twofold," says Rob, "maximise the pallet storage and save money for the company." Responsiveness is clearly important too. As Rob explains, most work is completed on a 24hr cycle. "When we start at 6am, our order book is empty. We receive orders within the day and those are typically picked and dispatched by the same evening. We have some longer-term orders, where PCs are being built to order, but generally we are starting from scratch each day."
Computer components also come in all shapes and sizes, which makes a variety of storage options a necessity. "Monitors are getting larger, but thinner, but PCs are getting much smaller. The latest are not much bigger than a mobile phone. We have areas where we need full pallet storage, but also where fast moving small items are picked. We need the flexibility to rotate products quickly, as anything over 90 days is considered aged stock."
Strong seasonal demands meant VIP needed external 3PL support from October to January each year. With 2,500 pallet locations in the main building, the decision was taken to expand ('next door' as Rob puts it), with a brand new £1.6 million warehouse adding another 5,000 locations. The new extension allowed Rob to also extend the ethos of mixed storage and picking, adding 10m high racking, enough to stack five high pallet loads, served by four Magaziner Kombi very narrow aisle turret trucks, otherwise known as man-up order pickers. Carrylift's Geoff Pearson believes the equipment provides the best option, as well as a high degree of reliability.
Says Geoff: "The Magaziners are a very well-engineered piece of kit. Since the operator rides up with the load to the storage location, he gets a great view of the load and its rack destination. The operators are safe within the machine and the height allows the bottom section of the aisles to have live storage or part-pallets for faster item picking."
"It is a technical type of kit," adds Rob. "It's been upgraded but our operators are familiar with it, and the equipment we've had from Carrylift has always been up to the job. We get a great service and the occasional pastry from Geoff, and the technical support from Steve Topping is excellent."
Delivered on time and on budget, the bespoke equipment is now busily replenishing those ground level mixed picking areas.
Two TCM four-wheel electric counterbalance and seven powered pallet trucks, all in company colours, make up the rest of the fleet, which in turn is complemented by an unusual piece of equipment to add fast flexibility.
"We purchased a batch of shopping trolleys," says Rob. "We are not afraid to spend thousands on the big equipment if it does the job, but these also do a great job for us!"
Amazon Partners
A special storage section contains higher value items whilst a wider aisle provides a flow lane and is used by resident pickers from Amazon.
We are a flagship partner with Amazon, and work very closely with them. They have staff here which pick directly from our shelves, and have their own packing and dispatch area," adds Rob. "It changed our landscape overnight. It's a great collaboration as it cuts down massively on double handling and the result is a faster and more efficient service for the customer." As the only Amazon Flex distributor with the facility on-site, VIP benefit from a cut in lead time by about ten days, whilst Amazon only take the stock when they need it, rather than hold it for two weeks or longer.
"Our business with Amazon is growing," commented Mike Taylor, "not just because of this, but a big part of this is the relationship."
In addition to the online giant, VIP also count Argos, Tesco, John Lewis and of course direct buyers, amongst their customers.
Keeping control of the operation, from containers arriving from Asia, through to storing and sorting, with replenishment, picking and finally dispatching, gives Rob a close connection with all aspects of the business.
Despite the need for flexibility, the pressures to get product out the door and the variety of work taking place under one roof, he manages to maintain an air of calm. "We see positives everywhere. The pace of change is fast, and you would not recognise it here just five years ago, which is a sign of our fantastic progress. It is great to be part of a successful team, and to have support from Carrylift that can be always relied upon."

From Publisher: In this enchanting sequel to the number one bestseller The Five People You Meet in Heaven, Mitch Albom tells the story of Eddie's heavenly reunion with Annie—the little girl he saved on earth—in an unforgettable novel of how our lives and losses intersect.
My Thoughts: I can't believe it's been 15 years since Mitch Albom published The Five People You Meet in Heaven ! That book has always stuck with me so I wouldn't have guessed it's been that long. In The Next Person You Meet in Heaven , Albom tells Annie's story, the little girl Eddie (who was killed) saved one day at an amusement park. If you haven't read the first book I wouldn't say it's absolutely necessary as Albom does a really good job of providing some backstory in this one but I do think my reading enjoyment was greater having read the first one. I actually realized I remembered more about the first book than I thought.
Obviously, if we're getting Annie's story you know something has happened to her for her to end up in heaven. I loved that Album starts the story with Annie's story while she's still alive, it allowed me to get to know her as she was but also created suspense because I knew what was going to eventually happen but Annie didn't…and I really liked her! Albom structures the story alternating brief glimpses of Annie's childhood with her journey in heaven and I LOVED this! I was equally invested in both parts of the story because of how Albom created interconnections. That may seem like a vague reason but you'll understand when you read the story.
If you're in the mood for a heartwarming, bittersweet story that just might give you much to contemplate, give this a try. My last advice: have tissues handy!
Lovely review, Renee! I can't wait to read this one. It really doesn't seem like it has been 15 years since Five People was published. This one sounds so heartwarming. I'll definitely have tissues on hand!!
I hope you like it Stephanie, let me know your thoughts when you're done!
Wow, this sounds like a brilliant series. I like the concept and would be interested to see how the author portrays the after-life aspects. It does sound emotional though. Trying to imagine what it would be like, reading Annie's story while knowing her fate.
I think this is a pretty heartwarming story and it was nice to get to revisit these characters so many years later. Hope you'll give it a try Diana!
Wonderful review, Renee, I am looking forward to this one.
Thanks Carla, I hope you enjoy it!

"What?" she yelled. "M-m-max Dolan? I...I...I told you I haven't seen him since he dropped Katie off seven years ago."
"I didn't ask if you'd seen him, Barbara. I asked if you'd been in contact with him."
She was visibly shaken. I could tell she was parsing her words, that she was an honest woman and she didn't want to lie. But I didn't have time for semantics. People were dying.
"Barbara, you want to know who has seen Max Dolan? I did, tonight. And he shot at me," I said.
She brought her hand to her mouth...

Many people wish for their relationships to stay strong and survive the test of time. But sometimes, you first need to test every relationship before you consider that it is for keeps. There are also reasons why you should let go of a relationship especially if it is not working. At certain times, there are signs that will help you determine whether it is time to say goodbye rather than staying. Here are some of those signs that you should look out for.
Some partners seem to think that a relationship is only beneficial for their needs. They always decide on a whim on whether they like to spend time with you on not. Some can be inconsistent on what they would want out of the relationship. Those who are the other half of this type of relationship can end up frustrated. If the signs of inconsistencies regarding the relationship become more and more frequent, then an end to it may just be in sight.
There is an air of uncertainty.
Indecision can put a dark cloud in any relationship. It can keep relationships hanging. Some people cannot just make a definite decision on where to take the relationship, or if ever they feel that it is a relationship at all. If you find yourself in this situation with your partner, make sure that you give yourself (or your partner) a timetable on when to take the next step. And if that time comes and there is still uncertainty in the air, then it may be time to let go.
Lies are a poison to any relationship. It can be used to mislead and to deceive a partner into believing something that is otherwise not true. If a partner has used lying just to try and make the relationship work, it may not be, in itself a good way to do it. Lying breaks the trust that is so important in any relationship. If the lying has led to hurt and pain before and still continues to occur, then it may be time to say goodbye to this kind of relationship based on lies.
