Can my host company sack me ?
Yes, however, only in extreme circumstances would this happen and typically only in the event of gross misconduct. Internships Ireland would be obliged to formally interview both the host company and yourself as to establish the reason for the dismissal and report back to your academic institution after which a decision would be made to offer you a new internship or not.
What happens if I am not happy with my internship ?
Firstly try to explain your concerns to your manager as it may be a simple question of readjusting your work responsibilities or other internal matters. Alternatively, we at Internships Ireland will become involved with the host company and yourself to try and find a solution to the situation so you can successfully complete your internship. However, if a satisfactory resolution is not achieved, we will endeavour to locate a new internship for you.
Can I expect an interview by the host company ?
Yes, most likely. As you are probably based outside Ireland at the time of your application, most companies opt for a telephone interview to ensure your level of English is sufficient and find out a little about your background. It is also an opportunity to explain what will be expected of you and for you to ask you a few questions in return.
What type assignments will I be given ?
This will be based on your capability to assimilate and learn new material, your level of English, and your general enthusiasm for getting involved in various different projects. The more open minded and focused you are, the more responsibility you are likely to be given. You are there to learn, work along with the permanent staff and assist them in their daily tasks.
What kind of hours will I be working ?
We would advise you to do the same working hours as staff in the company, which is usually from 09.00- 17.30 Monday to Friday with one hour for lunch.
If the work placement is not paid by the host company how can I finance my internship in Ireland ?
Trainees can ask for financial help or scholarships if they participate in an internship in Ireland. Please ask your tutor or internships advisor, in your University or College, how you can apply for financial assistance. Your program may qualify for the EU Funded Leonardo scholarship and/or other regional government backed grants.
Will I be paid for the internship ?
No, candidates participating in the Professional Internship Program will not be paid for the internship. It is a voluntary non-paid training period. However some host companies may offer to contribute towards your local transport costs and other host companies may decide to offer you additional benefits, but this is entirely at their discretion.
What sort of internships are available ?
Internships Ireland offers placement programmes in most sectors such as; Administration, Marketing, Business Development, Market Research, Human Resources, Travel & Tourism, Banking & Finance and IT.
Where are the internships located in Ireland ?
Currently most internships are located in Dublin, although we work with host companies across Ireland, so please let us know if you are interested in a particular town or region.
How will my employer behave towards me ?
• You will have a wonderful experience and make many new friends through your "colleagues" in your host company.
• Your work colleagues will treat you with every respect and they will understand that it will take you one or two weeks before you have the confidence to ask questions and feel like a member of staff.
• Internships Ireland specialise in offering internships to students from other countries so we understand exactly how you are feeling during the first week or two, so don't worry.
• Everything will be great as long as you make the effort to speak in English and do your very best at all times.

Schiller Institute founder Helga Zepp-LaRouche, called the "Silk Road Lady" in China and the first promoter with Lyndon LaRouche of this policy in Europe, was interviewed by TASS May 31, 2016 on the decision for a new global war or for economic development and cooperation.
TASS: How would you assess the current international cooperation?
Zepp-LaRouche: There are two completely different dynamics on the planet right now. On the one side you have the convergence of President Putin's very successful military flanks, such as his intervention in Syria, which created the potential for peace, combined with his various diplomatic interventions in Asia, parallel to the Chinese New Silk Road initiatives.
These efforts represent a win-win perspective for over seventy participating countries already.
On the other side there is an extremely dangerous confrontation from the side of the United States, Great Britain, the EU and NATO against Russia and China, which has brought the world to a multiple crisis, more dangerous than at the height of the Cold War.
TASS: In what areas it is more active and where it is not?
Zepp-LaRouche:In the case of Syria the cooperation between Foreign Minister Lavrov and Secretary of State Kerry, as well as the Geneva cooperation between Russia and the U.S., is very positive. However, as long as the United States do not abandon their policy of regime change, the situation remains dangerous. President Putin has proven to be a brilliant strategist.
This allows confidence that the warhawks in NATO will not succeed to lure Russia into a trap, giving them a pretext for a preventive attack.
TASS: What are the issues we need to step up cooperation between the West and Russia? Why?
Zepp-LaRouche: The reality is, that the entire trans-Atlantic sector is bankrupt and about to blow up in a bigger way than in 2008. Japanese Prime Minister Abe, after a very important visit in Russia, made that point at the recent G7 meeting emphatically, but was rebuffed by President Obama, who insisted, that "the recovery is improving", which is absurd in light of the negative interest rates of the central banks and the debate around "helicopter money".
Therefore the West needs, more than Asia, the kind of economic cooperation of the One Road One Belt/Eurasian Economic Union cooperation, integrating Eurasia from Vladivostok to Lisbon, but also inviting the U.S. to participate in this perspective. The only way a catastrophe can be avoided, is if we succeed to overcome geopolitics and reach a new paradigm, based on a global development partnership and the common aims of mankind.
TASS: Why, despite the obvious threat of terrorism, cybercrime and other international challenges, does the West so hinder cooperation with Russia?
Zepp-LaRouche: Almost all important conflicts derive from the effort of the Anglo-American empire to maintain an unipolar world, at a point, where it has de facto ceased to exist already. More and more forces in the world realize that they have to make existential decisions, and that the interests of their nations are much better served by stopping sanctions and confrontation against Russia and China.
The fact that Russia and China have created a very strong strategic partnership, with India a third partner, has shifted the strategic balance in the world. More and more countries are seeing it as more beneficial to cooperate for joint development, than to be under the yoke of military confrontation. We are at a branching point in history, and at such moments, what counts is leadership of the kind we have seen from President Putin.


Intervention is an opportunity to interrupt a person's destructive life patterns. It's a Starting Point to Change. There are several types of intervention. Some common models of intervention are the Johnson Model, ARISE Intervention Model and the Love First Model of Intervention. All models have the goal of healing the family system and helping your person accept treatment.
The interventionist is the individual who helps identify the appropriate people in the life of a person who is experiencing substance use, mental or behavioral health problems that will become an influential part of a recovery team. The team will enable their person and family to accept treatment and recovery. The interventionist supports, educates, provides guidance, direction and training, as well as the facilitation of the intervention and aftercare. All full members of AIS are Certified Intervention Professionals. We believe that this credential is key in identifying an individual with a high level of training, education, supervised experience and ethics.
An interventionist is a helpful tool for individual, family members, colleague or friend who is resistant to addressing his or her problem. When people are initially resistant and then enter treatment due to an intervention and therapeutic relationship with an interventionist, they and their network do very well due to the support, networking, collaboration and aftercare.
Why use a Certified Intervention Professional?
AIS firmly believes that is it is imperative to use an interventionist that is highly trained and skilled in family systems and successful intervention techniques. We believe our members meet the standards of excellence and uphold highest ethical standards. A CIP, can use their knowledge and skill to guide, educate and support the family while offering the best treatment options available to the families and clients that they are working with. They are also able to make referrals to other CIP's if the intervention is not within their scope of practice. It is always good to utilize a CIP, to help diffuse any anger and frustration that your person may project during the intervention and to help keep the focus on your persons need to seek help and not any other dysfunction in the system.
Research suggests that up to 90% of interventions succeed at getting the person into treatment. Will my person find and maintain a lifestyle of recovery is up to the amount of effort that is put forth from your person and their surrounding support system.
Through the process of the intervention with the educate and support, the family system in changed and regardless if your person goes to treatment or not, the system will never be the same. Therefore, every Intervention is successful.
An intervention is not the place to attack, criticize or condemn.
An intervention is the most loving thing you can do for any person suffering from a substance use, mental health and/or behavioral health disorder. Reach out today!!! It will be the first step in getting your life back and help your person regain theirs.
Contact an Interventionist and let them guide you through the process.


PEP REACTIVE AGILITY PREPARES PLAYERS TO PERFORM AT THE PRO LEVEL.
President and Founder Joe Quinn has been pioneering PEP Reactive Countering™ for the past 15 years. His techniques and training have been introduced to over 60 NHL players including Connor McDavid, John Tavares, Sam Gagner, Jason Spezza, Matt Duchene, Taylor Hall, Dylan Larkin, and Jeff Skinner.
Connor Mcdavid has acquired over 500,000 reactive repetitions from a young minor hockey player, to the OHL and now continues to train as a star in theNHL. Connor's ability to deceive opponents while gaining body positioning at full speed is the residual effect of years of Reactive Countering Training™ repetitions.

Power Edge Pro's™ innovative training helps players get to the NHL. PEP delivers an unmatched player's experience and is renowned for its rapid skills development through the patented design function & unique reactionary repetitions.
Even top pro players, when performing at full speed will find the pep circuits extremely challenging and put pressure on their ability to make split second decisions. the advantage of multiple pep apparatus' creates game like conditions and reactive repetitions.


The air had gone cold and yet I couldn't stop sweating. Up here in the top of the small watchtower I peer into the endless forest below with mounting dread. My readied musket held with a deathgrip.
The three roads had gone deathly silent.
Except for the rustling of trees. It was such a constant noise now that it was all I could do to drive it out of my mind. My patrol unit had long vanished, their bodies lost among trees that seemed to move at the blink of an eye.
I'm alone and the rustling grows louder, it feels like branches are scrapping against the inside of my skull. If I focus I can hear the tower's entrance door creaking loudly from a horrid pressure being put upon it.
I look at my musket. My only friend now amongst this hellish green sea riddled with hateful things. A close friend that can grant me a great mercy now that my ears are filled with the sound of splintering oak.
Sigmar and Allarielle preserve my soul, for the forest is rushing in to take it. I wonder if they can catch it faster than my friend can?
- Last report by Private Solan, GreyWater Road Watch. Found amongst vine covered rubble near a unfired musket.
I wanted another Branchwych for larger games, and had a few bits left over from the other conversion, and an idea mulling around in my head. I had an old elf stone base in my bits box which I mounted a female plaguebearer onto. I had to extend it with greenstuff to make it look right, and then added a bit of texture for interest. I wanted her to be casting a spell so used a sprite from the Dryad kit and sculpted (badly) a few flames from her hand. I tried to paint it in a glowy effect, which I think looks ok, but certainly there is room for improvement. Love the conversion and paint job overall though. She just looks mean!

"American Astronaut" will play at Splice tomorrow (4/28/07) at 2pm. It will be the final Splice for the year and my last (sniff) as your president. Enjoy!
Space is a lonely town. That's the tagline to Cory McAbee's "American Astronaut" (2001), a combination of science-fiction, western and musical informed by noir sensibilities and art film alienation. The overt genre mixing, low-budget, nearly spoken-word offbeat lyrics and ultra-dry humor made sure that the film never blasted out of cult obscurity and onto the public radar (it grossed $38,000 upon release), but McAbee's film shows a brave idiosyncrasy and inspired eclecticism that makes it a personal favorite. I only wish he could have picked a better title, one that insinuated the originality and insanity on display.
In the near future, the "American Astronaut" of the title is Samuel Curtis (Cory McAbee again, looking like Hugh Jackman), a Nevadan space-trader who smuggles rare goods to those in need. The film starts off on the asteroid Ceres, a rundown watering hole where grisly space-cowboys come to get drunk and compete in a popular dance contest. Samuel rendezvous with the Blueberry Pirate to exchange a cat for a "real life girl" contained in a suitcase-size music box. The girl is just the first acquisition in a bizarre trading game that could get Samuel rich, but could also get him killed. That's life when you're trying to make a buck with Professor Hess on your rear jets.
Professor Hess is no ordinary maniacal villain; he's our obnoxiously immature narrator who frequently reminds the audience and all those who will listen that it's his birthday. His motivations are explained during a silent slide-show that is amusingly frustrating, but it all seems tied to his perverse reverse-logic and strangely "familial" relationship with Samuel. Most relationships in McAbee's future have all but broken down, with sexual politics upturned in surprising ways, families either split or resentful and friends existing somewhere in the gap between greed and vengeance. The performances are so brave and bizarre that it's downright endearing, and sells lines that would be too silly, awkward or unintelligible for most "serious" films to pull off.
Despite a budget that would seem to make filming impossible, McAbee creates an impressive visual style almost unheard of: a mix of high-contrast B/W noirism with touches of western iconography and an almost naïve sci-fi setting that harkens back to Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers and other 1930's comics. Harsh spotlights and other cones of single-source hard light illuminate the minimal stages, cramped cockpits and barren landscapes in a way that oddly evokes both seedy nightclubs and old horror movies (it was probably cheap, too).
[Image: An immortal future-cliché of the sci-fi western: the lone wolf looking at the spaceship against the desert sky.]
The music, courtesy of McAbee's own Bill Nyman Show, is admittedly eccentric and might not appeal to everyone's tastes. The alt-rock instrumentation ranges in tempo and contains sly undercurrents of wit, as when old fashion western musical cues slide into the mix during a miner's tale or when Egyptian-style tunes flavor a series of sand dune images that are actually the vaporized remains of spacefaring ruffians. The largely untrained voices convey a variety of borderline nonsense lyrics including an ode to vowels, a narrative space odyssey and a sexually explicit serenade. The casually spoken-word delivery and surprising rhymes keep everything off balance while establishing a musical identity that defies comparison.
McAbee's storytelling abilities are often at the mercy of his image-crafting and spontaneous musical riffs, but the episodic narrative possesses its own outsider charm that protects the non-sequitur distractions and bumpy pacing from being an insurmountable flaw. The action takes its time and stretches the short running time in last third, but the writer/director wears his temporal disjunction on his sleeve. During the screenwriting workshops where McAbee worked on the script and shopped around the idea, nearly everyone told him he had to cut a five-minute standup joke that appeared not far into the film. To McAbee's credit, the joke scene remains and provides one of the most memorably absurdist exercises in audience expectation.
The ending is undeniably anti-climatic, but in a way that fits with the mood of intergalactic ennui. There's a Jim Jarmusch-style eye for dark humor that can spot the inherit boredom and emptiness in the lives of its human-oddity cast while still elevating the unpredictable dialogue to cult quotability. How do we interpret Samuel's alarm clock that repeats, "What did your father teach you? What did your father teach you? What did your father teach you?" until it is deactivated by the correct response: "My father taught me to kill the sunflower." The computer finishes its automated routine with deadpan sincerity, "Congratulations, Mr. Curtis. You are now awake." And why should the trigger-happy Professor Hess (wielding a raygun no less) be narrating to us with NPR monotony and signing off with, "and oh yeah… it's my birthday!"

Oh, and one last question to ask yourself after seeing the film: Is it possible this could have inspired TV's "Firefly?" Hmm…

Hollywood Vampires' Johnny Depp Wins A Motion Against Amber Heard About The Status Of Her Settlement Money
Melisa IscanJuly 31, 20212 mins read
According to Depp's lawyer Benjamin Chew who spoke to USA Today, Hollywood Vampires guitarist and worldwide known actor, Johnny Depp, won the legal battle against his ex-wife Amber Heard after he filed a motion to make Heard reveal what she had done with the settlement money.
As you may know, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard tied the knot in February 2015 but their happiness didn't last long and Heard filed a divorce one year later. The couple's divorce turned into a legal battle when Heard accused Depp of being an addict to drugs or alcohol, physical and verbal abuse. These allegations seriously damaged Depp's acting career and he was labeled as a 'wife-beater.'
Depp denied these accusations by claiming that Amber Heard was a gold digger and the main reason behind her false allegations was granting the financial resolution. Later, Depp and Heard reached a settlement when Depp agreed to pay her $7 million. Also, Heard declared that she would donate the whole settlement money to charity organizations. However, Depp's legal team filed a motion by claiming that Heard didn't use the money for donation.
Heard's attorneys answered the accusations saying that she will donate the money in ten years and she has already donated $950,000 to the ACLU and $850,000 to the Children's Hospital. Depp's first demand for proof of donation was denied by the jury but his legal team didn't give up and filed another motion. A New York judge decided that Amber Heard must prove her donations because it can affect the ongoing legal battle over abuse between two sides.
In Depp's attorney's words, he said:
"Mr. Depp is most gratified by the Court's decision."
Therefore, as it can be understood from the statement of Benjamin Chew and the decision of the judge, Amber Heard will have to prove whether she donated the money as she pledged or not. Also, Depp was very happy about this decision because he thought that he could finally get rid of the false accusations of Heard which almost destroyed his whole acting career.

My family and I have had a few bumps in our road. This was the first time I felt like I could work on my Unforgettable Faces Project. It has been a month and a half since the bump is a little more manageable.
Since it was a hell of a bump, I chose to work on a face I find not only wonderful but also kind and sweet. A face of happiness.
Whenever I go through trials and tribulations, I choose to work on my happiness and gratitude. This helps me to keep my focus and purpose in check.
I have seen this man many times here in Banos Ecuador and he has the most contagious happy smile I know. I like to think the he has a special smile for me and I always smile back. He makes it easy.
The whole time I was painting him I kept enjoying his smile more and more. He was lifting my spirits more and ore. I was in a cafe in town here ( Libreria Vieira Arte-Ilusiones and often I would tell the owner, I just love the people here. She would smile also, agree and fill up my tea cup again for me.

Over the last 15 years, Dave Kindig has been moving up the ranks, gaining a reputation as one of today's best hot rod and modified ride minds in the world. It's a reputation that's been built off of his extraordinary talent and unique vision, both of which were apparent right from the beginning of his career.
In fact, his shop, Kindig-It Design, has become so popular and respected that Velocity decided to give Kindig his own television show, Bitchin' Rides.
Debuting earlier this year, Bitchin' Rides was an instant hit and put Dave Kindig in the upper stratosphere of celebrity auto enthusiasts, right along side Jay Leno and Top Gear hosts James May, Richard Hammond, and Jeremy Clarkson.

BARE: Sustainable Company Releases New Line of Wearable Art Handbags
Joshua Espinoza June 4, 2014

It started with a simple burlap sack.
A couple of years ago, designer Grason Ratowsky was gifted a Costa Rican coffee sack from his father, who assumed his son would recognize the value in it. And his father was right. Ratowsky was immediately intrigued by the texture and fabric of the gift, as well as the various stamps and indications of where the sack had traveled. But above all, Ratowsky liked the idea that this item had a life of its own, which inspired the first bag collection for his Denver-based fashion company, BARE.
Released in October of 2013, BARE's Burlap Collection consisted of clutches, totes, duffles and backpacks all made from recycled burlap — setting the tone for the company's sustainable stance and practices.
"Making sure our products are sustainable just plays into how we grew up — what our parents taught us," says Ratowsky, who owns the business with fiance Lo Sampadian and co-founder Justin Biel. "We want to give back more than what we take and leave the world in a better condition."
Last month, the owners of BARE upheld that position by releasing their second bag line called the Artist Collection, which utilized repurposed vinyl from old billboards. But simply using recycled materials was not enough for the BARE team; this time around, they wanted to add an element of uniqueness — something that would make their customers feel special and tap into their individualistic nature. So they decided to adorn the bags with original art.
"We created large-scale art pieces on the backside of these giant 40-foot-by-20-foot pieces of billboard," Ratowsky explained. "Then the art was templated into each individual bag, essentially making each piece a form of wearable art. They're pretty much the most unique products you can get your hands on. You'll never see someone with the same bag."
Available in totes, backpacks, wallets and duffel variations, the bags display a vibrant style of contemporary abstract art created by three artists from around the country: Ratowsky, Jonni Cheatwood based out of Phoenix, and Naomi Clark based out of Brooklyn.
"We pulled from around the nation, so it was a fun process," Sampadian says. "These are all really great artists we had known or heard of; the selection was basically friends of friends for this first run. In the future, we're thinking we can do an open call, but we really wanted to make our first collaborative project very tight-knit."
Compared to the Burlap Collection, Biel says, the Artist Collection is considerably niche — targeting a much more specific consumer base than the former line.
"The Burlap Collection's success was amazing; guys and girls, young and old, from different parts of the world — a lot of people really responded to that design," Biel says. "I think it was especially well-received in Denver, just because of the rugged, nature element of Colorado. This latest line is much more city-focused. You gotta have a little bit [of] flare to like the Artist Collection. You have to have this artsy vibe to you in order to relate to it, in order to appreciate the work and its unique qualities."
Manufactured entirely in the U.S., the Artist Collection bags also consist of quality nickel hardware and felt and leather from the 120-year-old company Weaver Leather based in Ohio. Ratowsky says it was important for the repurposed vinyl to be paired with the finest material in order to avoid looking crafty.
"I wanted to play to the material, so it's waterproof, weatherproof," Ratowsky says. "I made it seamless with magnetic closures, and then we UV-protected and coated the actual paintings, so if water ever hits, it will roll right off […] The design wasn't based on anything I had seen before, just my own imagination. I love this line for that very reason, it's my baby."

We expect AT&T 's proposed acquisition of Time Warner to be approved, and see upside through the year to the deal price, which is currently $107.50.
We do not believe AT&T's (ticker: T) proposed acquisition meaningfully changes the competitive landscape. Consequently, we expect the deal to be approved by the U.S. Department of Justice by the end of 2017.
Although the core growth outlook is mostly unchanged, soft first-quarter ad results and seemingly low returns on marketing of TV shows highlight the growing challenge facing TV networks. Warner Bros. and cost controls drive solid first-quarter earnings per share despite soft ad revenue. Upside in Warner Bros. TV licensing revenue helped drive total Time Warner's (TWX) first-quarter revenue to $7.74 billion, ahead of our and consensus estimates of $7.68 billion and $7.67 billion, respectively. Revenue at Turner was largely in line with our estimates, with higher-than-expected content sales offsetting lower-than-expected ad revenue. Adjusted EPS of $1.66 exceeded our and consensus estimates of $1.46 and $1.45, respectively.
Despite strength at CNN, Turner ad revenue declined 2% year-over-year in the first quarter, which missed our estimate for flat advertising revenue, and the company guided second-quarter ad revenue to decline 400 basis points more than we expected. We believe this highlights an overall softening in TV ad spending, particularly at general entertainment networks, which could exacerbate the challenge of viewership declines and negatively impact the industry through 2017.
Below-the-line items drive higher EPS estimates, despite slightly lower revenue estimates. A reduction to our Turner revenue estimates drives our total 2017 and 2018 revenue estimates to $31.1 billion and $31.6 billion, respectively, from $31.3 billion and $31.8 billion, respectively. Adjustments to below-the-line items offset this and drive our 2017 and 2018 adjusted EPS estimates up to $6.04 and $6.28, respectively, from $5.87 and $5.96, respectively.

1918 - 2005 World Events
Refresh this page to see various historical events that occurred during Eleanor's lifetime
In 1918, in the year that Eleanor K Winkofske was born, on November 1, an elevated train on the Brooklyn line of the subway - driven by an inexperienced operator because of a strike - tried to navigate a turn at 30mph. The limit on the curve was 6 mph. The 2nd and 3rd cars of the 5 car wooden train were badly damaged and at least 93 people were killed, making it the deadliest crash in New York subway history.
In 1935, when she was 17 years old, the BOI's name (the Bureau of Investigation) was changed to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) and it officially became a separate agency with the Department of Justice. J. Edgar Hoover, the Chief of the BOI, continued in his office and became the first Director of the FBI. The FBI's responsibility is to "detect and prosecute crimes against the United States".
In 1960, at the age of 42 years old, Eleanor was alive when on May 1st, an American CIA U-2 spy plane, piloted by Francis Gary Powers, was shot down by a surface-to-air missile over the Soviet Union. Powers ejected and survived but was captured. The U.S. claimed that the U-2 was a "weather plane" but Powers was convicted in the Soviet Union of espionage. He was released in 1962 after 1 year, 9 months and 10 days in prison.
In 1989, at the age of 71 years old, Eleanor was alive when on March 24th, the Exxon Valdez, an oil tanker, struck a reef in Alaska's Prince William Sound and oil began spilling out of the hold. The oil would eventually contaminate more than a thousand miles of coastline. It is estimated that over 10.8 million gallons of crude oil spilled into the Sound - killing 100,000 to 250,000 seabirds, over 2,800 sea otters, about 12 river otters, 300 harbor seals, 247 bald eagles, and 22 orcas - as well as an unknown number of salmon and herring.
In 1994, she was 76 years old when on May 6th, former political prisoner, lawyer, and activist Nelson Mandela was elected the first black President of South Africa. He was 75 when he was elected and he served one five-year term.

In order for you to deal with customers effectively, you need to know what they want, even before they come to you. This means that you should offer them products that address their needs before the competition does. In order to meet your clients' needs effectively, you will need a CRM to enable you analyze customer behavior and preferences. You will however, also need an email marketing tool, to get the message of your brand out there. That is where iContact for Salesforce comes in.
There is no doubt that the Salesforce CRM is great for customer care. However, it needs to be integrated with other apps to enhance the functions that it has. IContact for Salesforce is one of those apps. The email-marketing software is meant for small and medium businesses. It helps you create and track email marketing campaigns for the masses in order to enable you make the right choices for your business.
Several features help distinguish iContact software from the competition. These features are worth noting.
iContact for Salesforce is natively integrated into the Salesforce CRM system. This means that it accommodates the data footprints better. It also has a good archive design. The tight integration with Salesforce that iContact has means that if you use the CRM, you do not need to make any major adjustments to either software so that they can be compatible.
It has free spam checks. This means that when you make use of iContact, you do not need to worry about your email campaigns causing you to be blacklisted by other internet users.
The app has social media integration capabilities. This means that you can incorporate social media like Facebook and Twitter in your email campaigns to market your business and determine responses of subscribers.
The app has a call to action button integration for your templates that enables your email marketing campaigns to be shared and liked by social media members.
The app has superb tracking metrics, which is what makes it so popular. The tracking capabilities within this software, not only help in tracking spam complaints, but also unique clicks and bounces. In addition, it tracks unsubscribes, unique and total openings and delivers.
IContact for Salesforce has a number of templates, which can be used as the foundation of your email marketing forms.
The app also has blank frameworks that you can use to design your email marketing campaigns with the help of a designer or on your own.
The app has a number of WordPress plugins, which can be used in the design of email forms for marketing campaigns for your business. You can use them together with the blank frameworks to past HTML codes, which will allow you to host your images within an image gallery.
The app has scheduling capabilities, which allow for email marketing campaigns to be scheduled at intervals.
Like any other software iContact for Salesforce, has advantages and disadvantages.
The tracking metrics of the app and especially the social media features, are some of the best there are in the market. They play a huge role in enabling you to understand every aspect related to your marketing campaign. Because of this, it is much easier for you to go back to the drawing board, and come up with better marketing strategies that will enhance your sales and revenues even more.
The native integration of iContact with Salesforce means that you will not need to spend more time and money to make them compatible. You can just get to work as soon as the app is running.
Based on most reviews, iContact software for Salesforce is one of the easiest apps to use. The basic templates are easy for people to use or adjust even when they do not have much expertise in using email-marketing tools.
The spam complaints' tracking that iContact provides means that you can send mass emails without worrying about blacklisting. To make matters even better, the spam checks are free. This enables you to avoid having your email campaigns destroying your reputation online, which will affect your bottom line negatively.
IContact is easy to install. In addition, when a problem arises, there is a great technical support system in place to help you solve them. The support is available via email, chat, and even phone, which offers you flexibility with regard to accessing the help you need.
The app is quite affordable, which means that even on a limited budget, you can access it for your email campaigns.
You can pay for the use of the app on a monthly basis. That means that when you are tired of the product, you can cancel your payments and move to another option.
You will need to downgrade your subscription manually when you reduce your list number because it is not done automatically. This can be quite cumbersome.
The process of canceling your credit card payment can also be quite hectic, which means that you will spend a lot of time on the issue.
IContact is very basic, which is great news for beginners. However, that simplicity compromises the functionality of the app to a certain extent. This means that while your tracking metrics are going to be great, the targeting opportunities are going to be limited. You will therefore find that your customization abilities, when it comes to email marketing creation are limited also.
Many apps for email marketing exist out there. That does not mean that you should buy them all. While iContact has its shortcomings with regard to some of its targeting functionality, it has a lot going for it. The software is affordable and offers a great opportunity for you to market through emails without a lot of struggle. The price you pay for the product makes it even more attractive. In addition, the great customer care available makes iContact for Salesforce one of the best options available if you are in search of an email-marketing tool.

Black soldiers faced own battle
Thu., May 17, 2012timer4 min. read
updateArticle was updated Feb. 28, 2020
British regulars and European settlers have all got their due for their efforts in the War of 1812.
But a little known piece of history is that black refugees from slavery in
the United States took part in defending the Province of Upper Canada (1791-1841).
A well-known painting from the time of the Battle of Queenston Heights (October 1812), in which British General Sir Isaac Brock was killed, shows soldiers at the battle site. A number of them are black soldiers sporting British colonial tunics. It was the first major battle in the war and was won by the British.
Wayne Kelly of the Ontario Heritage Trust says there is not a lot of documentation on how many black soldiers fought for the British, but there were enough to form the Coloured Corps from those living in Niagara. It's estimated it consisted of between 30 and 40 men. Black soldiers also served in the Glengarry Light Infantry and the 104th Foot Regiment from New Brunswick and served on the Great Lakes in the Royal Navy.
Accounts indicate the Coloured Corps, or members of it, saw action at Queenston Heights, in the siege of Fort George (May 1813), a skirmish at Sugarloaf Hill in what is now Port Colborne (June 1813), the battle of Lundy's Lane (July 1814) and built Fort Mississauga in 1814 near the mouth of the Niagara River (it is now surrounded by the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Course).
Members were also involved in the building of defences at Burlington Heights, where Dundurn Castle now stands. Some accounts indicate the corps took part in the Battle of Stoney Creek (June 1813), but others indicate it did not.
The Glengarry Light Infantry also took part in the Fort George battle.
Kelly says the majority of black people in Upper Canada lived in Niagara during the war. He estimates the population was between 400 and 500, and estimates about 10 per cent fought. "It's impossible to say how many served, but there were likely a handful of black soldiers in British units," he said at a recent talk in Ancaster.
The talk was sponsored by the Fieldcote Memorial Park and Museum and Griffin House. The latter is a home on Mineral Springs Road that was built circa 1827 and lived in by Enerals Griffin, a slave who escaped to Canada possibly through the Underground Railroad in 1829.
Lieutenant-Governor John Graves Simcoe passed the Militia Act in 1793 because of the threat of an American invasion. It designated lieutenants for each county who were expected to arm and train all males aged 16 to 60. Despite the presence of black males, Kelly said "race and racism were part of this system."
A key proponent for black soldiers having a fighting role in the War of 1812 was Richard Pierpont (1744-1837). A leader in the black community in what is now St. Catharines, he wrote a letter to the colonial government proposing the creation of a black militia. Pierpont was sold into slavery in West Africa, but gained his freedom by fighting for the British during the American War of Independence.
"Although he didn't say it, I think he and others were worried Americans would ... bring slavery to Canada," Kelly said.
Thus, the Coloured Corps came about in August 1812. Its command, however, was placed under a white officer, Jordan tavern owner Captain Robert Runchey. Pierpont volunteered, even though he was in his 60s, and might have been a private.
The unit was renamed the Corps of Provincial Artificers in 1813 and came under the command of Lieutenant James Robertson, a black officer from Detroit who also fought for the British during the American Revolution.
The corps was disbanded after the war and its soldiers were rewarded by colonial authorities. Veterans were entitled to a land grant, both white and black, but Kelly said black veterans did not get the same treatment as white veterans. He said black veterans got
50 per cent of what a white settler received, and the land was located in the Guelph and Barrie area, then considered remote parts of Upper Canada.
"If you set your mind back to 1815, you can imagine how remote Oro Township was," Kelly said.
Pierpont was given 40 hectares

Kelly said, however, the story of black soldiers fighting for Upper Canada in the war, and how they were treated afterward "reached all parts of the United States." It made more of them want to come north "for freedom."
It's hard to imagine because of its position on slavery — which didn't end until a bloody civil war in the 1860s — but black soldiers also fought on the American side.

Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as one of the most important nosocomial pathogens and multi-drug resistant (MDR) isolates are of great concern worldwide. The aim of the present study was to investigate the in vitro synergistic activity of colistin in combination with other antibiotics against MDR A. baumannii blood stream isolates. A total of 54 non-duplicate, MDR A. baumannii isolates from blood culture specimens obtained between June 2011 and July 2012 were included in the study. In vitro synergistic activity of colistin in combination with imipenem, tigecycline or cefoperazone-sulbactam against study isolates was investigated by Etest superimposing method and the fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) index was calculated for each antibiotic combination. The most frequent synergistic effect of colistin was found in combination with tigecycline in only 7 isolates (13.0%). All three antibiotics were found to have synergistic effect with colistin in four isolates (7.4%). Of isolates, 46 (85.2%) showed additive effect of colistin in combination with cefoperazone-sulbactam or tigecycline, 45 (83.3%) with imipenem. We found synergistic activity of colistin with other study antibiotics in only a small number of isolates. Although Etest method is a practical method to investigate the synergistic activity, in case of choosing empirical treatment, colistin in combination with another antibiotic may be preferred.

The aim of this study was to find out musculoskeletal disorders in Masseuse on the basis of posture adopted, working hours per day, number of clients attended per day and years of experience. 50 Masseuse were selected for the study. The result and conclusion of the study states that the musculoskeletal problems on the basis of posture adopted - lower back pain is the highest in bending(24%) , in sitting(22%) and in kneeling (20%) . Shoulder pain (20%) is highest in standing. On the basis of number of working hours, lower back pain (22%) is more in subjects working for at least 6 hours. On the basis of number of clients attended per day, lower back pain (20%) is more in subjects attending more than 6 clients per day, on the basis of years of work experience, lower back pain (23%) is more in subjects with work experience more than 8 years.
ABSTRACT Objective:The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of ankle foot orthosison back geometry in children with spastic diplegia. Design:This is a randomized controlled study; thirty-two children with spastic diplegia from both sexes, ranging in age from six to eight years represented the sample of this study. They were divided randomly into two groups of equal number; control and study groups. Control group received a designed exercise program, while study group received the same designed rehabilitation program as control group in addition to ankle foot orthosis. Evaluation of back geometry parameters: trunk imbalance, pelvic tilt, surface motion, and lateral deviation was conducted for each child of the two groups before and after three months of treatment using Formetric instrument system. Results:There was a significant improvement in all the measuring variables of the two groups when comparing their pre and post-treatment mean values (P ˂ 0.05). Comparison between groups post treatment revealed a significant decrease in trunk imbalance, pelvic tilt, surface rotation, and lateral deviation of study group compared with control group (p > 0.05). Conclusions:Ankle foot orthosisis an effective aid when added to treatment program in correcting posture in children with spastic diplegia.
ABSTRACT Introduction: Oxygen uptake peak (VO2 peak) or VO2 max indicates the functional capacity of cardiorespiratory function and is often considered as the benchmark indicator of cardiorespiratory fitness (McArdle et al., 1996). In addition to evaluating functional capacity in healthy and diseased individuals, VO2 peak is used to prescribe endurance exercise and monitor physical training adaptations (Shephard, 1984). No literature was found that compare VO2peak in treadmill versus level ground walking. Therefore the purpose of this atudy was To compare VO2maxon treadmill versus level ground walking in healthy individuals. Methodology: Thirty healthy subjects (20 females, 10 males) enrolled in the study. All subjects were randomly distributed in two groups, treadmill group and level ground walking group. Rock port 1 mile track walk test was used to measure VO2 peak. Both the group were asked to walk for 1 mine on treadmill and on level ground respectively. Than data was collected and VO2peak was measured using regression equation VO2max (mlmin-1kg-1)=(132.85)-(0.077* Body weight)-(0.39*Age)+(6.32*Gender)-(3.26*Elapsed time)-(0.16*HR) (Foster & Maud) Result : The results obtained from Unpaired t test were found to be significant. The above study suggests that VO2peak was higher on level ground walking than on treadmill walking. Discussion: In present study Elapsed time was taken for walking on treadmill was more than on level ground walking. And in Regression equation, Elapsed time is inversely proportional to the VO2 peak value. This can explain increase value of VO2 peak in level ground walking. This is supported by the Mayer at al ,2003 in his study. Conclusion: . In conclusion, VO2peak were statistically significant (p >0.05) when treadmill was compared to level ground walking during peak exercise in healthy youth. The results of this case study show that a level ground exercise program can be safely recommended to an individual beginning an exercise prescription, as it will elicit similar or greater physiological benefits to that of a land-based exercise program.

Combating Ransomware Cyberattacks
In his Cyber Crime column, Peter A. Crusco describes the various malware and ransomware scenarios that have been playing out in countless damaging incidents throughout the nation, and analyzes legislation and preventative measures to potentially combat these cyberthreats.

Ransomware, a popular form of malicious malware, continues to threaten individuals, governments and, more recently, educational institutions throughout the country. It is usually delivered through targeted "phishing emails." Phishing emails are messages sent by individuals trying to "fish" for personal or financial information or other valuable data. Alternatively, an individual may visit a site that attacks his or her hard drive once a trigger is executed such as opening a file or playing a video. The victim's computer hard drive is ensnared after opening an innocent, unintrusive-looking email that activates the malware. The victim is then locked out of his or her data or system, and a subsequent demand for payment is then sent to the victim.
Proposed International Standards on Cooperation Between Prudential and Anti-Money Laundering Supervisors

In November 2019, the Basel Committee issued for comment a proposed annex to the AML Risk Management Guidelines on "interaction and cooperation between prudential and AML/CFT supervision." Comments on the proposed Supervision Annex are being accepted through February 6. In this edition of her International Banking column, Kathleen A. Scott discusses some of the main themes set forth in the document.
New Bail Statute and Remanding Defendants Awaiting Psychiatric Exam: Part 1
Tara A. Collins and Mark Son | January 29, 2020
The new bail statute drastically changed the bail statute by eliminating cash bail in most cases. However, it did not amend CPL article 730 and is silent as to the type of securing order the court may issue when ordering a 730 examination. Part 1 of this article discusses whether a defendant who appears unfit can still be remanded or have bail set under the new statute.

Starkaðr gamli Stórvirksson (StarkSt)
volume 8; ed. Margaret Clunies Ross;
Víkarsbálkr (Vík) - 33
III. Fragment (Frag) - 1
Starkaðr inn gamli 'the Old' Stórvirksson (StarkSt) was a legendary Scandinavian hero, known to Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic and possibly Anglo-Saxon traditions. Some sources (e.g. Saxo Grammaticus (Saxo 2015, I, vi. 5. 2, pp. 378-9), one version of Heiðr and Víkarsbálkr (Vík) in Gautr) claim that he was born a giant with six or eight arms, which the god Þórr reduced to two by tearing off the remainder. Both in Saxo and in Gautr, Starkaðr is represented as a hero of prodigious strength and bravery, but influenced by the gods Óðinn and Þórr to commit acts of gross treachery, the best-known of which is his mock sacrifice of his friend, King Víkarr, at Óðinn's instigation. The mock sacrifice turns into the real thing, and, as a consequence, Starkaðr is repudiated by his warrior companions. Saxo and the Icelandic sources also know Starkaðr as a poet. Skáldatal (SnE 1848-87, III, 251, 259) heads its list of poets and their patrons with Starkaðr's name as that of the earliest poet whose identity people remember, adding that he composed about the kings of Denmark. In Ht Snorri Sturluson names a verse-form, Starkaðar lag, after Starkaðr (SnE 2007, 38), while in TGT Óláfr Þórðarson quotes a fragment (StarkSt Frag 1III) which he attributes to him. In Gautr the autobiographical poem Víkarsbálkr 'Víkarr's Section' (VíkVIII) is attributed to Starkaðr.

U.S. Army commanders have relieved six soldiers from positions of leaderships and issued 2,994 general officer written reprimands in response to soldiers who have refused to comply with the COVID-19 vaccination order,
U.S. Army commanders have relieved six soldiers from positions of leaderships and issued 2,994 general officer written reprimands in response to soldiers who have refused to comply with the COVID-19 vaccination order.
Among the six relieved from leadership positions were two battalion commanders, the Army said in a Wednesday press release. But the service so far has not involuntarily discharged any soldiers solely for refusing the vaccine.

MARINE CORPS DISCHARGES 103 ACTIVE DUTY PERSONNEL FOR DEFYING PENTAGON'S COVID-19 VACCINE MANDATE
The Army will be issuing guidance for discharging vaccine holdouts later this month, with the press release saying that 3,611 soldiers are still refusing to get the vaccine and have not received an approved exemption.
So far 96% of soldiers in the active duty component have complied with the mandatory vaccine order, while 73% of soldiers in the reserve component have gotten the jab.
The Army has also approved five medical exemptions of the 653 that were submitted while denying the medical exemption requests of 595 soldiers. No religious exemptions have been granted so far out of the 2,128 requests submitted.

The news comes the same day the U.S. Navy released updated numbers on its vaccination progress, revealing that 5,209 active component and 2,968 Ready Reserve service members have yet to receive the shot.
The Navy has granted 244 temporary medical exemptions and 68 administrative exemptions, while none of the 3,038 requests for religious accommodations have been approved as of Wednesday.

Active duty service members had a deadline of Nov. 28 of last year to comply with the vaccine order, while reserve component service members had until Dec. 28 of last year to comply.
The Marines, Air Force, and Navy have already begun to discharge service members who have failed to comply with the vaccine order, which was issued by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in August.
