It's been crazy lately with designing. I've come away from my RAW Artists with many insights and lessons learned. It was a great time where I made many contacts and had tons of good feedback on my designs. It was a time worth having, but I'm expecting to participate in another one in the future….
Kitten and the Band at the Troubadour – Published!


As a leader, one of the most difficult truths you'll have to face will be the fact that it's hard to understand what it's like to be on the other side of you and your leadership tendencies. That's natural, of course, because we're all only human. However, for those leaders who don't take the time to understand how they lead or what effect their tendencies have on others, especially those on people who display tendencies differ from their own, then the environment becomes ripe for conflict, miscommunication, mistaken assumptions, and unhealthy culture.
That's where the 5 Voices system comes into play. It helps you understand your voice order so that you can discover how you tend to navigate the world and communicate with others. Each voice comes with it's own set of tendencies around processing information, making decisions, and communicating with those around you. Armed with the knowledge of your own voice tendencies, as well as the voices and tendencies of those around you, you will become better equipped to successfully navigate healthy relationships, effective decision-making, and consistent communication.
The unfortunate reality is that the more corporate and business-orientated the environment (especially at the executive level), the less representative of the general population it becomes in regard to voices. This is especially true for the lack of of Nurturers, but even extends to Connectors and Guardians who, if they are present, tend to be overshadowed by the louder voices of Pioneers. Pioneers, on the other hand, are highly overrepresented, since they only make up about 7% of the population, but saturate nearly 50% of CEO positions.
Given the highly strategic, long-term, and critical decision-making nature of Pioneer types, it makes sense why boards and executive leadership tends to default to such voices. However, an over reliance on Pioneer strengths tends to result in a loss of the invaluable insights other voices bring to the table. Additionally, since Pioneers only comprise 7% of the population, they often struggle to understand how best to translate the impact of messaging and decision-making to the other 93% of people in their organization who have different voices and perspectives than their own. Such drastic disconnections almost always result in dissatisfaction, inefficiency, and a generally unhealthy culture.
That being said, let's take a look at a few examples of clients who have experienced critical disconnections between voice tendencies and leadership of the wider organization. You'll find a common thread of voice underrepresentation and under-appreciation that often leads to misfires or mistrust between leadership and the rest of the company.
One of the most interesting teams we've worked with consisted almost entirely of Creatives and Pioneers. That meant their foundational voice orders were either Creative-Pioneers or Pioneer-Creatives. As leaders of a large organization with a few thousand people, the limited variety of voice input on the team led to poor and ineffective communication with the rest of the company. Additionally, as an executive team comprised primarily of "Thinkers," their communication involved very little affirmation or encouragement. In Pioneer-Creative cultures, feedback typically focuses on criticism; whereas if you are doing well, then you just tend to not hear anything, the expectation being that you carry on with your satisfactory performance.
As part of the problem, however, some of the leaders reporting to the executive team were Feelers who, as relationally sensitive people, assumed the lack of communication and absence of encouragement meant the executives were displeased. This caused an environment of insecurity and mounting panic among those leaders, who believed it was only a matter of time before they were replaced. Due to the lack of Nurturer (and Guardian) representation on the executive team, their strategic decisions were solid, but often lacked consideration for how those decisions would be received by the rest of the organization. Based on the population breakdown of voices, the team's lack of diversity amounted to nearly 73% of voices and perspectives being underrepresented at the highest level of company leadership. That makes for a critical problem when it comes to communicating with the rest of the organization and utilizing the full complement of skills and perspectives that each voice brings to the team.
In another organization, most of the executive team consisted almost entirely of Pioneers and Guardians, with only one Nurturer present. Interestingly enough, however, the Nurturer happened to lead 75% of the people, and everyone loved him because he was always fighting for them, and they felt it.
Unfortunately, however, the leadership team lacked a strong Connector-Creative voice presence and therefore struggled to craft the long-term, people-centered development focus that those voices do best. Consequently, the team has come to realize that there's a voice in their decision-making. While everybody loved the Nurturer, he was the only one on the team fighting for the people and prioritizing how each decision would impact them and their well-being.
This caused the rest of the more analytical, factual, strategy-first Pioneers and Guardians to view that Nurturer as "too-soft," and therefore result in frequent dismissal of the alarms and perspectives he raised. Without the presence of Connectors and Creatives to build the bridge between long-term, strategic decision-making, and the real, immediate needs of employees, a serious disconnection occurred between leadership and the rest of the company.
So, if Pioneer voices are overrepresented, and executive leadership tends to lack the presence of at least one voice, how are organizations supposed to deal with disconnection?
Fortunately, it's not absolutely necessary to have every foundational voice represented on every team. To be sure, a complete complement of voices can make it much easier to solicit the various perspectives and contributions that must be considered for effective communication and decision-making. However, the most important factor involves maintaining an honest awareness of the missing perspectives, as well as a strong commitment to incorporate their strengths and invite collaboration where necessary.
In the end, avoiding the pitfalls of disconnection means adopting a sense of humility and learning how and where to get a variety of inputs on the team. It's about creating the environment where each voice feels truly safe and empowered to bring their best to the team.

Often referred to as 'Pays des Mille Collines' – literally, 'Country of a Thousand Hills' – Rwanda is a far cry from the common conception of the arid deserts of Africa. A small country compared with neighbouring Tanzania and Uganda, Rwanda nevertheless boasts a beautiful and varied landscape.
Green trees, rolling hills and rugged mountains stretch as far as the eye can see. Lakes and rivers provide welcome relief from the heat, and lend a luscious aspect to the land, inevitably causing the growth of a variety of shrubbery, trees and wild flowers covering the shores for miles around.
A landlocked country located in Central Africa, on the eastern border of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Zaire), Rwanda is also bordered by Uganda, Tanzania and Burundi.
Rwanda's capital is Kigali, which is located in the geographical centre of the country. It is a rapidly growing city and boasts significant development over recent years.
Rwanda's high altitude ensures that, although the scorching heat one would expect from a country situated just south of the Equator is present in some areas, the weather is more clement than visitors generally anticipate. The luscious landscape is fed by two rainy seasons, the first beginning sometime in late February and extending until April, and the second spanning early October up to December. The mountainous areas are generally mild and are occasionally susceptible to frost and snow.
Rwanda's plains and lower slopes mainly consist of agricultural land, with coffee, tea and bananas forming a large proportion of the nation's permanent crop harvest. In the northern higher slopes, there are active volcanoes which are today visited by tourists on a regular basis. Rwanda is also home to a large number of mountain gorillas, and is well known for Dian Fossey's remarkable work with these primates. Group visits to view the gorillas in their natural habitat can be organised in the capital.
The country's road system is currently being repaired and extended, and travel between major cities and neighbouring countries is becoming far safer. Over the next few years, several international projects are planned to improve the country's transport system, including proposals for a new international airport, train line and roads.


I can think of a more honest way to recognize the value of government employees, and it would also involve less spending.
Frankly, if a Federal employee hasn't bothered to do well at "performance" then I don't see why they should get a raise. Is someone going to argue that the admittedly non-essential workforce as a whole has increased in value to the country since January 2010?
Federal workers already make a grotesque amount more than their counterparts in the private sector.
But none of that matters. As Senators from Maryland—where many federal employees reside—they both know they need to make sure the votes stay purchased. They use Federal debt to keep a sizable chunk of Maryland voters happy enough to support them in office.
Look at this picture (and read the story it came from) and tell me this workforce should have a raise.


in conjunction with the UK Microwave Group.
Saturday 3rd March 2007 in Telford.
Had a great Microwave Beginners' Workshop on Saturday 3rd March. There were 27 attendees, plus the Telford Club crew doing the welcome, the catering and the furniture moving. Having several rooms and plenty of chairs was very useful from the organisers' point of view. Each of the 4 main presentations took quite a long time to assemble and disassemble afterwards, but as it was a very full day, it meant there was no lost time as one speaker followed the next. I suspect the visitors also appreciated stretching their legs between presentations, especially as two of the rooms were upstairs, and they passed the coffee bar each time en route. Mike, Richard, Don and others did stirling work there.
The introductory session (given by Martyn G3UKV) turned out to be longer than planned, but the audience remained attentive throughout. It gave a broad overall perspective about microwave activities from 1296 MHz to 75GHz. This was followed by Dave's G8VZT talk and demo of amateur TV on 10GHz, and already one or two guys are planning cross-town ATV. After lunch, Mike G3PFR gave some valuable tips about obtaining useful parts for our bands, and had me drooling over a directional coupler covering 1 to 12 GHz for which he had paid the grand sum of £2 at a junk sale! Richard G8JVM gave the last presentation covering conversion of ex-commercial gear, focusing on the 6 and 9cm bands. He had some terrific tips about things like snow-flaking and removing static-sensitice devices from PCBs. The last half hour was a Q/A session, and 4:30pm soon came and the final clear-up took place.
Thanks to the Sheffield CD, and some other material that came via Peter G3PHO, the PowerPoint framework was very useful indeed, and each visitor took away plenty of paperwork, plus a CD only finished the previous night. Additions to the original excellent Sheffield CD included the 1986 Dubus and follow-up scaled designs for dual band horns (covering 23/13, 13/9, 9/6 and 6/3 cm), the G8MWR 'Microwave Society 10 GHz DataPack' ( WBFM & ATV), the G3JVL Loop Yagi dimensions (for 23, 13, 9 and 6 cm) and the G3UKV and G3PFR presentations, plus further input on antennas and much more provided by G3PHO.Some of this will be added to the Telford & DARS Website (www.TDARS.org) in due course, and perhaps to Peter's website too? Historic items, such as the G8MWR, G3JVL and Dubus/G4FUF articles are well worth preserving for reference purposes.
One happy person from Cheshire went away with a 7 watt 10GHz TWT, which was donated by Dave G8VZT. All those visitors who joined the UK uWave group on the day, and there were 13 new subscribers, had their application forms placed in a motor cycle helmet at the end of the day, and Mike G3PFR pulled out the lucky winner.
Thanks to everyone who attended and helped with the organisation, and especially Richard M1RKH who handled the overall logistics for the day, Derek G0EYX and his wife Anne who prepared the excellent plated lunch, plus Dave G8VZT, Richard G8JVM and Mike G3PFR for their presentations. Not forgetting Peter G3PHO for his advice, and I believe the inventor of the Beginners' Microwave Workshop concept in about 2004!


The source of ionizing radiation (IRI) is an object that contains radioactive material, or a technical device that emits or is capable of emitting ionizing radiation under certain conditions. To date, the use of IRS has become a common thing in science, technology and medicine. The scope of their use is constantly increasing. In this connection, the problem of safe utilization of IRS is one of the key problems in the framework of the issue of environmental protection.

Q: NSString with different font sizes Is there a easy way to create the labels text with different font sizes without using NSMutableAttributedString?
label.text=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%.03f %.03f", var1, var2];
//                                        ^
//                                        this value should be shown a little larger than the second value

A: Well, you can achieve the look you want by creating three labels, each of a different size. It use to be hard to get the baselines to line up, but if you use the auto layout constraint system, you can get all three labels to hug each other and also have the same baseline.

You are here: Home / Carbon Monoxide News / In The News / New Washington Law Requires Carbon Monoxide Detectors In All Residence...
Washington state has a new law mandating the installation of carbon monoxide detectors in homes that goes into effect Jan. 1, according to the Associated Press and other media reports.

The genesis of the new, broader law is pretty interesting. The Legislature amended the state building code when there was a bad windstorm in Puget Sound in December 2006, AP reported. That storm caused power outages, and ended up with hundreds of people being treated for carbon monoxide poisoning.
There were also eight deaths, those who died of carbon monoxide poisoning after using generators or barbecues in their homes to keep warm, according to AP.
The legislation is stricter than current Washington law, which had only required carbon monoxide detectors in newly constructed buildings starting in 2011. The new regulation is much broader, requiring the detectors in existing dwellings, such as apartments, hotels, condos dorms and "residential institutions," AP reported.
In addition, as of the new year home owners must have carbon monoxide detectors in their houses if they sell them.
Carbon monoxide poisoning is a bigger risk in the Northwest not only because that area has a lot of storms, but because many homes have been carefully insulated and sealed to conserve energy, according to AP. That means any fumes can's escape a house.

The powerful #IamaPreexistingCondition hashtag fighting Trump's healthcare reforms
Jasmine Andersson
It still feels like we're living in an alternate reality when we have to report on the devastating impact the Trump administration is having on women's rights.
From the scores of sexual assault allegations against him, to his treatment of his wife, Melania, through to his first executive order being one that prohibits funding for foreign aid units offering women the right to have an abortion, it's difficult to stomach that the White House is being run by an outright misogynist.

And now, in his latest depressing measure, Trump and his cohorts are set to limit the rights and freedoms of women in the US once more – by reducing their access to affordable healthcare through a proposed amendment to the American Health Care Act.
However, women across the country have taken to Twitter to make their voices heard, under the hashtag #IamaPreexistingCondition.
The hashtag refers to the fact that if the bill becomes legal, people with "pre-existing conditions" could be denied health insurance, or be charged at a significant premium.
Although some of the affected pre-existing conditions are applicable to men, several conditions specific to or heavily affecting women are being targeted by what is effectively a repeal of Obama's Affordable Care Act.
These "conditions" include victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, rape, postnatal depression and those needing a caesarean.
The Centre for American Progress estimates that pregnancy premiums alone would increase by $17,320 (£13,860).
The hashtag was introduced by Huffington Post's women's channel in order to show the scores of people who would experience detrimental suffering under the Republican administration's plans.
"Scroll thru #IAmAPreexistingCondition posts and try not to boil with anger at those who would deny health coverage to these beautiful folks," said user @LisaBloom.
"#IAmAPreExistingCondition because of my sexual assault, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and womanhood," added @fabzdiaz.

"My uterus alone makes me (& so many others) a preexisting condition. Looking forward to midterm elections a BUNCH," contributed @L_A_Knudson.
The revised bill also plans to make devastating cuts to Planned Parenthood, which has been targeted for providing affordable abortion services to women, despite the fact the clinic provides a variety of sexual health services, which are available to men as well as women.
"Nothing in this Act shall be construed as permitting health insurance issuers to discriminate in rates for health insurance coverage by gender," the amendment reads.
The proposed law is highly likely to be approved by the House on Thursday.
In spite of the devastation, one thing remains proudly clear – the women of America aren't going to accept the bill without a fight.
"Millions have marched in the streets, called their representatives, and protested at town halls to protect women's access to healthcare," said NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue.
"Our 1.2 million member-activists will keep rising up in protest and demanding their leaders expand women's freedom and equality."

news Public Sector Motivation and recognition
Conwy Council revises recognition and long-service award schemes
By System Administrator	 1st February 2010 9:38 am 2nd November 2015 7:59 pm
Conwy Borough Council has revised its employee recognition scheme and is looking to revamp its long-service awards.
The Welsh authority, which has 5,000 staff, has extended its recognition scheme to include more categories. These include the Customer service award, Colleague of the year award, Manager of the year award and a Special achievement award. The council has added an Innovation award and a Pride of Conwy award to reward staff who successfully represent the council outside the workplace.
Donna Roberts, total rewards officer, said: "We have made the categories a lot simpler to appeal to all staff. Last year we linked them to all our aims and objectives and it was a bit too corporate."
The winners will be presented with a certificate and trophy at the council's annual award ceremony in June.
The council is also planning to modernise its long-service awards by reducing the length of time before staff are recognised. Its current scheme provides a gift worth £200 after 25 years' service and £400 after 40 years. It is looking to replace the gift with vouchers to give employees more choice.

During the time of service, a bartender will have to perform two or three activities at a time. Like with all the utensils, he should be ready to make the cocktail in no time. At the same time, he has to attend a number of guests/customers at a time and prioritize whom to attend first. A professional as well as prospective bartender should be busy with both hands. Smiling face is also another way of good interaction to welcome the first timers and the known faces. This is an important aspect that is taught in bartending trainings.
When a bartender is performing his role, he should concentrate on the activities that are co-related to his job. For example, let's say a guest has placed his order with you. After taking the order, do not kill the precious time of the valued customers/guests by engaging yourself in your personal work like talking over the phone, chatting online etc. (unless you have taken a break).These petty things may irritate the customer and the pub will earn a bad reputation. Your prospective career may be hampered if you keep repeating the same things. Other than serving, an ideal bartender has to count the consumption by the customer for billing purpose. He is also responsible for the stock position in the storeroom to avoid last minute crisis.
It is understood that a bartender needs to be well aware with the names of the classic cocktails. If you are new to the field, waste no time in memorizing the menu options that are being served at the counter and also learn the best to serve the drinks that are popular in the pub where you work. Even if you are new to the pub, knowing these things will help you tremendously and help you build a repo with your clients.
Hence, the motto of the training is your skill for the job, customer satisfaction and dedication to the work you engaged for. There may be some bad days too, but make sure that it doesn't affect you much and stay dedicated to your work. If you can handle these things tactfully, then this will help you grow in your career.


Situated at the end of the hallway on the third floor of the highly desirable, dockside development, Baltimore Wharf, is this very well-appointed one bed apartment. The property features modern fixtures, fittings and furnishings, and a private balcony. Baltimore Wharf itself provides 24hr concierge and security, an extensive gym with classes, and a 25m pool perfect for swimming lengths. Further, numerous convenience stores are within a short walk of the development, together with various cafes, restaurants, boutiques and shops; while Crossharbour DLR is adjacent.


The Daily Star is copying the Daily Mirror by increasing the cover price of its Saturday edition by 5p, as the two papers continue to battle for readers. The Daily Mirror increased its price at the start of 2012.
Trinity Mirror, publisher of the Daily Mirror, has acquired Communicator Corp, the digital comms company that specialises in email marketing and mobile comms, for £8m, as it seeks to expand its digital marketing offering. The publishing group is looking to become less reliant on its core print assets of national and local newspapers.
TV viewing via the internet is beginning to plateau, according to the latest BARB tracking survey. Of 4,000 adults asked, 15 per cent said they watched TV via a PC, laptop or tablet in the seven days up to 13 November, compared with 14 per cent for the same period last year. It said this apparent slowdown in growth may be due to the increased availability of personalised video recorders in the UK and the availability of catch-up services on connected TV devices.
David Walliams and former Strictly Come Dancing judge Alesha Dixon are to join Amanda Holden and a returning Simon Cowell on Britain's Got Talent, as ITV aims to reverse the show's ratings decline. The show starts in the spring.

Q: Function that returns the sum of the number of digits from 1 to n. I want an algebraically closed-form version of this:
$\displaystyle f(x)=\sum_{n=1}^{x}\left\lfloor \log_{10}\left(n\right) + 1 \right\rfloor$
Here are some examples to illustrate what I'm asking for.
$
f(1) = 1\\
f(2) = 1 + 1 = 2\\
f(3) = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3\\
$
Basically, $f(x) = x \iff \lfloor log_{10}{x} \rfloor=0$
Here are some examples of $f(x)$ for slightly larger numbers.
$
f(10)=11\\
f(11)=13\\
f(12)=15\\
f(100)=192\\
$
Is it possible to devise an algebraically closed form of this?

A: Take $x=9876$, for example, then
$$\sum_{n=1}^{9876}\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor+1=\sum_{n=1}^{9}1+\sum_{n=10}^{99}2+\sum_{n=100}^{999}3+\sum_{n=1000}^{9876}4$$
Extending the pattern, we get that
$$f(x)=\left(\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor-1}\sum_{n=10^k}^{10^{k+1}-1}(k+1)\right)+\sum_{n=10^{\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor}}^{x}\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor+1$$
$$f(x)=\left(\sum_{k=0}^{\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor-1}9(k+1)\cdot10^k\right)+(x-10^{\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor}+1)(\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor+1)$$
$$f(x)=10^{\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor}\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor-\frac{1}{9}\left(10^{\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor}-1\right)+(x-10^{\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor}+1)(\lfloor\log(x)\rfloor+1)$$

The truck was refinished in the current shade of brown in October 2019. Details include a roof rack, a receiver hitch, and chrome bumpers and trim. Rust is noted on the driver-side vent window frame and the seller states the tailgate switch for the power-operated rear window is inoperative, however, the dashboard-mounted switch is operational.
Silver 15″ alloy wheels are mounted with 31×10.5″ BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires, and a full-size spare is mounted in the cargo area. The front axle is equipped with Mile Marker manually locking hubs and the truck rides on a lifted suspension. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes. The steering box and power steering pump were replaced in October 2019.
The seats were reupholstered in tan leather in March 2020 and the carpets and front passenger-side floorboard were replaced in June 2020 according to the seller. Black rubber mats protect the carpets and the truck is equipped with air conditioning and a retro-style head unit.
The three-spoke steering wheel wears an aftermarket leather wrap and frames a 100-mph speedometer and supplementary gauges. The five-digit mechanical odometer shows 15k miles, approximately 6k of which were added under current ownership. Total mileage is unknown.
The 360ci V8 is equipped with an auxiliary fuel tank and a GM-sourced HEI distributor. The exhaust system was reportedly replaced under previous ownership and the radiator, water pump, and air conditioning system are said to have been replaced under current ownership.
Power is sent to all four wheels via a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission and a transfer case that has reportedly been modified to allow for part-time four-wheel drive. Corrosion is visible on underside components.
Spare parts that will go with the truck include an uninstalled front bumper, a radio, two distributors, and various additional spare and removed parts.

Q: How to know how many mysql queries a php script has done? is there any way to know how many mysql queries has been launched in a php script ? and how long those queries were ?
thank you .

A: Basically you can make a handler function for your MySQL queries, like:
$mysql_queries_count = 0;
$mysql_queries_time = 0;

function _mysql_query($query) {
    global $mysql_queries_count, $mysql_queries_time;

    $start = microtime(true);
    $result = mysql_query($query);
    $mysql_queries_time += microtime(true) - $start;
    $mysql_queries_count++;

    return $result;
}

Doing so, you'll have to replace all mysql_query( in your code with _mysql_query(, which is easily doable in most text editors.

Will Alphabet Be the Next FAANG to Make All-Time Highs?
— Alphabet stock could bounce from here and if it does, may be the next FAANG to make new all-time highs. If it doesn't bounce, here's must-watch support. —
By Bret Kenwell, TheStreet.com [1]
Alphabet (GOOGL)(GOOG) is trading lower on Monday, down about 1.5% in what's become a mixed session.
While stocks initially ramped to all-time highs as Fed Chairman Powell was renominated by President Biden, the market has become a bit mixed since then.
Further, there has been some "crash-like action" in growth stocks.
However, Alphabet didn't make new highs on the day. It's interesting because the stock isn't doing bad, but it hasn't been the leader that it was earlier in the year.
Of course, a stock can only lead for so long before needing a rest and I think that's the case here.
Apple (AAPL) – Get Apple Inc. (AAPL) Report has been trading much better and made a push to new all-time highs.
Amazon (AMZN) almost did on Friday, while Microsoft (MSFT) and Netflix (NFLX) recently hit new highs as well.
Will Alphabet stock be the next FAANG component to do so?
Trading Alphabet Stock
Daily chart of Alphabet stock
Chart courtesy of TrendSpider.com
After reporting strong earnings in October, Alphabet stock was able to push to new all-time highs. It jumped higher and chopped between $2,890 and $2,925 before eventually resolving higher.
While Alphabet has been the best-performing FAANG stock this year, it's had trouble garnering upside traction over the last month.
Shares are currently trading down into the 21-day moving average and short-term channel support. Further, it's retesting the prior all-time high near $2,925.
From here, bulls are looking to see if Alphabet stock can provide a decent bounce from this trifecta. If it can, we'll have to see if the stock can reclaim the 10-day moving average, then $3,000.
Above $3,000 and the all-time high is in play at $3,019, along with uptrend resistance. A breakout over all of these marks could put $3,100 to $3,115 in play.
I like the way this strong performer has been consolidating and tip-toeing higher.
However, if it can't push higher, bulls need to be on alert for a pullback.
If that's the case, there's a small chance that $2,890 buoys the stock, but what are the odds of that if all of the current support measures fail?
It's possible, but in the case where Alphabet stock breaks $2,900, I will instead have my focus on uptrend support and the 50-day moving average. This area comes into play in the $2,725 to $2,750 area.
If it holds, let's look for a bounce up through the $2,925 area.

The Philippines are an archipelago between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea. The capital of Philippines is Manila. There are approximately 102, 624, 209 people living here. The official language of the Philippines is Filipino and English, with the majority of Filipinos speaking Tagalog and other local dialects. The majority of Filipinos practice Catholicism. The time zone is 12 hours ahead of EST. Major exports of the country include semiconductors and electronic products, machinery and transport equipment, wood manufacturers, coconut oil, seafood, bananas and other fruits.


Medical transcription is the transcribing of patient records from tape or digital form to hard copy. Doctors record the patient information, and the people that transcribe these words onto paper are called transcriptionists. Starting a career in medical transcription can be fairly simple and will only take one to two years.
There are a few different ways to do medical transcription. You can take a course through a local community college, an allied business college, on the Internet, or you can be trained on-the-job in a clinical environment. The coursework you take will vary based on the type of school you choose. Medical terminology, anatomy&physiology, keyboarding, transcription, and formatting are things that you will learn no matter where you go to school. It is not necessary to have medical knowledge to do medical transcription. The most important skill you have will be the ability to do research.
Medical transcription training is offered through community colleges, most often as a certificate program. You will have to meet the school's requirements for admission in order to register as a student. The plus side of taking the medical transcription course through a college is that you can apply for financial aid, scholarships, or even payment plans in some cases. It will take four semesters to complete the program with a typical college course load.
Business colleges also offer courses on how to do medical transcription. These schools have fewer requirements for admission. Prices can vary from school to school. Most business colleges offer payment plans and special pricing for military members and their spouses.
Online classes for medical transcription can be useful to those that are looking to make a career change. Medical transcription courses found online have different completion times. Be sure to do your research when considering an online school. The average price for a reputable online medical transcription school is about $2500-$3000. Again, most of the schools offer payment plans and military discounts. Very few offer financial aid.
The trend today is for medical transcription to be performed from home instead of in the hospital setting. With new technology, audio files can be uploaded from the doctor's computer and downloaded to the transcriber's computer without either one of them ever having to have a conversation. To work in a hospital, it's best to take a medical transcription course before applying. Some people are able to get positions with no work experience, but those types of positions are very hard to come by.
Working in the medical transcription field can be a very rewarding career choice. With today's changing technology, you will be learning new things all the time.

Only 89 new entries made it into the Open Dictionary in September, a sharp drop from the two previous months. The overall number of submissions was slightly down too, and many submissions failed to meet the admissions criteria. These are that the word or phrase should be used by more than just one person or a small group, and that it isn't in the dictionary already. It also has to make sense, of course.
Although the number of new promoted entries is relatively small, the quality is high. These additions to the Open Dictionary provide many little snapshots of the world we live in, from mini fist pump to haka, from spit take to headdesk; a world of teachable moments and mommy blogging, where the fanbase of popular films and TV shows indulges in a little set jetting, perhaps when they are between jobs. Several slang terms were also added, including chuddies, deets, and rekt; plus some useful technical terms for different types of extreme weather phenomenon, including fire whirl, gustnado and waterspout.
My attention was caught by quinsy, which sounds like a historical affliction ("My lord, he is sick of a quinsy") but is in fact completely current; also by the use of boring as a noun, part of a linguistic trend that is particularly prevalent in advertising; one example is Sky TV's slogan Believe in better. This month's top place goes, however, to a modest little verb, to pop (a bottle of something alcoholic): the example given is: He opened a box of chocolates and popped a bottle of cabernet. I would have expected this meaning to be in the dictionary already but it wasn't, though we do have a similar but more restricted sense; so kudos to our regular contributor Boris Marchenko from the Russian Federation, for spotting the omission and taking the time and trouble to correct it.


During prohibition The Brick featured access to one of the town's numerous prohibition tunnels, helping distribute illegal booze to citizens, many of whom immigrated directly to the fledgling town of Roslyn, Washington in order to work in the area's now-defunct coal mines. On the grounds of a nearby mountain resort, Suncadia – A Destination Hotel, a few of the old mines shafts still stand, stark as monuments, boarded over but accessible for visitors to peer down into the darkness and imagine a different time, when a gaping dark hole constituted a viable workplace. No wonder they needed booze at all costs.
Founded as a mining town back in the late 1880s, Roslyn is about 80 miles east of Seattle, just over an hour if you don't hit traffic. The sidewalks of the miniature downtown are dotted with signs and landmarks explaining old coal cars, those aforementioned, boarded up mining shafts, and historic buildings with quirky features like double doors on the second floor, for when the snow drifted over a building story high. The town is quaint in a way that feels extra appealing in the era of smartphones, Twitter, and laptops.
Check out the Uproxx Guide to Seattle!
These days, since the coal mines near Roslyn are long defunct, a new economy in the form of Suncadia's secluded resort amenities has sprung up. Given the spot's emphasis on family, it made sense to bring my own brother and sister along when I was invited to check out the resort during a recent visit to Seattle for the holidays. Our stay fell on my sister's birthday, which gave us even more reason to do something special, and the resort provided us with a stand-alone vacation home to use instead of a block of rooms in their massive central lodge.
This is how I came to wake up on the outskirts Roslyn during one of the state's biggest snowfalls of 2017, happy to bask in the thick, rich quiet that only a new snowfall can bring. I love the way fresh snow turns everything silent, even if we already out in the middle of nowhere. Staying in a secluded home-away-from-home in a small mountain town is definitely the most Northwest kind of vacation.
11 Miner's Camp, as the three-bedroom home where we stayed, was dubbed (every Oregon and Washington mountain cabin has a name), offered more than enough space for the three of us — even if I rather begrudgingly took the bedroom with bunk beds. Their emphasis on hosting family is no joke, apparently.
Once we got settled into our home for the weekend, it was just a quick walk through the woods — and past the local, historic cemetery — to make our way to The Brick. TV fanatics will recognize it as the set from the series Northern Exposure, and more recently, a backdrop in The Man In The Castle. But for music fans, it represents the kind of casual, irreplaceable venue that is mostly dying out, even in the more lowkey areas of the country like the Pacific Northwest.

Will banning phones from classrooms work?
by The Educator 01 Jul 2019
Last week, the Victorian government announced that from Term 1 2020, mobile phones will be banned for primary and secondary students.
Victorian Education Minister, James Merlino, made the announcement at McKinnon Secondary College, where teachers have reported greater student outcomes and improved behaviour since implementing its own phone ban.
He said the action aims to "help reduce distraction, tackle cyber bullying and improve learning outcomes for students".
"This will remove a major distraction from our classrooms, so that teachers can teach, and students can learn in a more focused, positive and supported environment."
"Half of all young people have experienced cyberbullying. By banning mobiles we can stop it at the school gate."
However, some experts say banning mobile phones is not the right approach.
Neil Selwyn, a distinguished research professor at Monash University, said that while banning phones from classrooms, and from school altogether, might seem sensible, there are number of reasons to be cautious.
"It's clear we need to carefully consider how we want to make use of digital devices being brought into schools. But previous experience, such as in New York, suggests a blanket ban might introduce even more problems," Dr Selwyn wrote in The Conversation.
"Research suggests there is a large overlap between cyberbullying and traditional forms of bullying, which wouldn't then follow that digital devices are somehow causing these behaviours."
Dr Selwyn also noted that cyberbullying also often takes place outside school hours and premises and warned that banning phones from classrooms might distract teachers from having to continue with efforts to address the more immediate causes of cyberbullying.
Finnish educator, author and scholar, Pasi Sahlberg, shares similar concerns.
"Most of 'screen time' takes place outside of school and simply taking the gadgets away from kids in school would not help, especially it is not a good idea for those who suffer from screens the most," Sahlberg told The Educator.
This issue, he explained, is best handled in close collaboration with children and their parents.
"We need to educate them about the advantages of technology and risks related to heavy use of it. We need to work with parents to set the limits how smartphones, games and media is used at homes and in schools," he said.
Federal Education Minister, Dan Tehan, is pushing for a national ban on using mobile phones in class,
"The Morrison Government wants to see mobile phones out of the classroom to remove a distraction and reduce the incidence of cyberbullying and other inappropriate usage," Tehan said.
"We have told all states and territories we will invite experts from France and Ontario, Canada, where phones have been banned from schools, to provide advice about their experiences."
However, Queensland, the Northern Territory and the ACT have said they have no plans to implement the initiative in their states and territories.


Bit of a breeze sprang up overnight but still woke to crisp morning with no need other than a sheet on the bed! Eat your heart out you southerners!
Decided to go for a drive today so after a bit of washing and morning tea we took off.
A perfect day for a drive, not a cloud in the sky, and all the lakes and beaches provided all the amazing blue and aqua colors that one could just sit and watch all day!
Headed to Proserpine and then had a very pleasant drive out to Proserpine Lake & the Peter Faust Dam. Lovely spot with very few people and very good amenities. Probably due to the fact that no camping is allowed!
We then headed to Cape Gloucester/Hydeaway Bay and enjoyed lunch at the Eco Resort. What a beautiful place!
It's a dirt road for the last couple of kms but it's in very good condition.
After the cape we went into Dingo Beach and enjoyed an ice cream on the waterfront. At the local store Don asked after a former work colleague who used to have a place there and retired to live there. It appeared he was still living there and Don tried to ring him but there was no answer. Left a message, so we'll see if anything further develops.
When we got back to Airlie we fueled up, went for a drive to Shute Harbour and then put the car through a car wash! The latter being much needed!!
Just finished a drink and some nibbles as the sun sets! The evening has cooled considerably but still no need for a jumper!

Days numbered for Illinois' rolling stock exemption?
An effort underway at the Illinois statehouse would do away with a tax break available to truckers.
Rep. Jack Franks, D-Marengo, is the sponsor of a lengthy bill to address the state's annual budget. One provision in the 941-page bill would repeal the existing "rolling stock" sales tax exemption for qualified purchases, such as trucks, trailers and tires.
The exemption would end on June 30, 2016.
The Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association opposes the effort. The truckers group has about 6,700 members who reside in Illinois.
Mike Matousek, OOIDA director of State Legislative Affairs, has communicated the Association's concerns to leading lawmakers in both chambers of the statehouse.
Matousek points out that small-business truckers are already subject to a number of taxes that include Heavy Vehicle Use Tax, International Fuel Tax Agreement, Unified Carrier Registration, 12 percent federal excise tax on the purchase of new tractors and trailers, International Registration Plan, and a federal excise tax on the purchase of new tires.
He also points out that the majority of taxes that commercial trucks pay do not apply to personal vehicles.
The bill, HB4300, awaits consideration in the House.


Any time in July is good for me, as long as dates are set by April so I can book my holidays at work I'm happy.

Seconded!! Horrah for hormonal teen power!!
RIGHT you leave nessie and G out at your perril!!
I wish I could have been at the Gweedore Gathering this summer. But I didn't have time nor enough money. But I hope - and wish - that I could come next year.
I'm planning a trip to Ireland in late October (always wanted to see Halloween in Ireland), but I gather the weather in Donegal might be a bit rough then?

depends where you go really balor, not exactly sight seeing weather sometimes but i'm sure you'd survive!
Ok, people, let's revive this topic a little- have we definately got enough people on board at a particular time to say that we can start organising things? After all, the further in advance we have the dates, the cheaper it'll be to book and the more likely it is that people could come, right?
I agree Ness, even if I can't come I would certainly love to help planning stuff. hehe I think the little organiser in me doesn't want to leave it be.
well fantastic- we need all the help we can get, eh mise for starters, how about we take the few dates mentioned and start a poll? I think thats the only way to get a time sorted, dont you?
I am 100% out of luck in going this coming time but I 100% am coming next time!!
So it seems July is preferable up to now.
As there's already a poll going here I don't think a second poll can be added to the same topic.
Gweedore Gathering: Preferred Dates for example.
Is it not possible to remove this poll and then add a new one? This one seems a bit pointless now, since it is obvious loads of people want to come hehe but then we could have guessed, couldn't we!
I voted July 16th - 23rd, cuz that's most likely the time I will be around but then the 19th - 22nd of july, but that doesn't matter.
