What is the Best Commercial Carpet Cleaner?
The best commercial carpet cleaner is generally a number of solutions which are used together. Our company can provide the best cleaning service using only the best carpet cleaners. It is important to use premium cleansing agents to make certain your carpets do not get ruined or damaged when applying the treatment. Our specialists will take good care of your carpets and prevent harm coming to the floor.
As we are a skilled floor maintenance agency, our team is definitely the smart choice when it comes to ensuring your company premises really are a comfortable, neat, safe area to be working. It is equally important that the place gives out the right impression for visitors and workers. We could create servicing programs for commercial carpets, furnishings, curtains and even more.
We are specialist cleaners; therefore you can be sure that we stick to a stringent method making sure the clean is to the top standard. If you've got requirements, we accommodate them and deliver a tailored office carpet cleaning service for what you may need. We have accomplished a number of maintenance tasks for domestic homes as well.
The very first phase of the service is vacuuming the carpeting to eradicate debris. Following that, a solution will be placed on the carpet in order to dissolve dust particles that may be caught deep in the carpet. We can then pay attention to bits of the flooring which may be discoloured or have spillages on them, and certain cleansing solutions will be used to deal with them. We then use a brush to agitate the entire floor surface ensuring that the treatment is applied around the full area for a thorough clean.
We will then apply hot water mixed with an expert washing substance with our carpeting and rug cleaning machine. The strength of the equipment make sure that the dirty liquid will not soak the carpeting and alternatively the dirty water is removed to be discarded. Doing this allows minimal disturbance as the floor will only need a couple of hours to dry out. In order to keep expensive carpets and rugs looking top quality, we suggest having a regular clean performed by experts. When done correctly they look much better but they will actually be usable for longer.
Our own team can also offer services for drapes in residences and commercial properties. When window curtains need to be cleaned, you won't always have to go to the hard work and hassle of getting them to the cleaners and then having no curtains while they are being cleaned. We cleanse the curtains on site, typically cheaper when compared with high street cleaners. We'll complete both steam and dry-cleaning based on your specific requirements. Dry-cleaning avoids any kind of possible shrinkage or colour running within the materials. The services are perfect for lots of window curtain fabrics including satin, velvet and cotton.
Our company also offer services for cleaning furniture upholstery to make certain that your furniture is in their best condition. The most frequent factors that can wreck the quality of household furniture are drink spillage and oily stains on arms and head cushions. You have invested a lot of money on your household furniture so you'd like it to look good and be longer lasting. This furniture upholstery service is designed to recover the original quality and prolong its life expectancy, making it thoroughly clean, good quality and looking exactly the way you like it.

10. Open a Charles Schwab checking account.
Open a High Yield Investor Checking Account with Schwab at least a month before you leave the US. Schwab is one of the only banks that offer a checking account with out any international transaction fees (most banks charge 1-3% on each transaction). Additionally, you can use any ATM worldwide to withdraw money for free and Schwab will reimburse fees charged by ATM owners (ATMs generally offer the best exchange rate). You will receive a couple of checkbooks and a debit card with a chip, which is required for most foreign transactions. They provide 24/7 customer service and best of all, the account is completely free with no monthly or annual fees. The account is FDIC insured and you earn 0.06% APY (variable rate) on any balance.
Additionally, they automatically give you a brokerage account, allowing you to invest in the stock and bond markets (Charles Schwab is primarily a brokerage company). There is no minimum balance on either account, so you do not have to use the brokerage account. To fund the account, you can make ACH transfers between your primary checking and savings accounts and your Schwab account. These transfers are free and usually take 3 business days to clear.
9. Look for a local cell phone plan and use Skype for international calls.
The takeaway: do your research before you go and when you arrive, find the best ways for you to stay connected. If you plan to use your personal cell phone with a local SIM, make sure it is unlocked by contacting your service provider! I have an iPhone 5s with Bluegrass Cellular (partner with Verizon) and it was already unlocked.
8. Take advantage of excursions planned by your program.
Planning travel on your own is difficult and even more so with a group of friends because of the coordination required. Take advantage of the excursions offered by your study abroad program because you don't have to do any of the work and many of them are included in the price of the program!
This is especially true if you want to travel to more challenging, risky, or remote destinations. For example, my program is organizing a trip though Morocco over Spring Break – a perfect destination to join an organized trip, rather than organizing one on your own. The trip is all-inclusive and costs €600, but the price is well worth it. We will travel to the desert in 4×4 jeeps, camp in traditional tents, ride camels, and travel to several cities. In previous trips, my program has included special guided city tours; wine, cheese, and cake tastings; and other activities that I probably wouldn't find on my own.
7. Travel on your own.
That said, traveling on your own is a great experience and has its rewards. You are forced to do your research about the destination, so you naturally become immersed in a new culture rather than floating in a bubble of American culture with your program friends. You are also more nimble, able to see and do more because you aren't restricted by the limitations of a large group. Note: traveling with a couple friends is also good. It's fun to share your experiences with other people and safer than traveling by yourself.
6. Before traveling, research the city, especially the metro/transportation system.
Every city and country has its quirks. Be aware of currencies and exchange rates, especially in Europe. The UK and Czech Republic are both in the European Union, but neither use or accept the Euro. Know that in London, trash is "rubbish" and the metro is the "Tube" or the "Underground." Also, build a working knowledge of the metro system, especially if you are traveling to a country where you do not speak the language.
If I had not done my research before traveling to Prague, I would have been lost since they did not have clear instructions on how to use the metro in the stations. They have a great metro and tram system in the city, but their ticket system is much different than Barcelona, London, and Washington, DC. If you don't purchase the correct pass and validate it when you board a tram or enter the metro, you can be fined up to 800 Crowns on the spot and embarrassed in front of the locals.
5. Beware of RyanAir: the McDonalds of air travel.
RyanAir and other low-cost carriers make exploring Europe possible for students with limited budgets. Most of the time, a RyanAir or budget airline ticket will be the same price or less expensive than a train ticket to the same destination! But just like McDonalds, you get what you pay for: minimal leg room, strict boarding and luggage rules, and forget about the free beer, wine, soft drinks, and snacks offered by Lufthansa (the Panera Bread of air travel).
If you break any of the rules, you will face stiff fees or miss your flight. Also, you will often fly into a city 30 minutes to an hour outside of your destination city, so know how you will transfer into the city and how much that will cost. Will you break even if you pay a little more and use an airline that flies directly into the main airport of your destination? This will depend on the market, your destination, and how far in advance you book. Google Flights is a great resource to make these comparisons. Reference the articles linked below for really helpful information to make sure you have a good experience with RyanAir. Keep in mind, some of them are several years old and may have outdated information, so always reference the RyanAir fine print and policies before buying your ticket. You can get a feel for people's general attitude toward RyanAir from the article titles below; however, like many before me, I had a good experience and good customer service. The key it to be informed!
4. Get to know the locals: church, homestay, classes, restaurants, professors, etc.
This will enrich your time abroad and help you fully immerse yourself in the culture. One of the best parts of studying abroad is connecting with others and discovering differences and similarities in cultures and worldviews. I have visited three different churches during my time in Barcelona and each time, I met people who shared my love for Christ even though we had differences in theology and perspectives on corporate worship. In my homestay, I enjoy hearing about my host parents' experiences and perspectives on the vast changes in Barcelona over the past 30 years. Classes are a great place to get to know locals and study abroad students from other countries and just like in the US, getting to know your professors is important and rewarding.
My International Management professor spent many years working for PWC (one of the Big Four accounting firms) in several different countries. I have really enjoyed talking with him about his experiences in assurance, advisory, and tax because I am very interested in public accounting. Restaurants are also a great place to meet people, practice the language, and learn about the culture. I go Subway once a week because they are one of the few restaurants open for lunch before lunch hour (1-4pm) when I have class. I have gotten to know the franchise owner and learned that he emigrated from Venezuela and now owns 20+ Subway franchises throughout the Catalonia region in Spain.
Pocket Earth is the best, most valuable app that I have ever used. It is a maps program that works offline by using your phone's GPS and allows you to drop color-coded pins with different symbols. That sounds boring, so why is it so great? When you travel outside of your host country, you probably won't have data and wifi is much harder to find than many assume. Before you leave your host country, you zoom in on the places where you will travel to download the map data. Many public pins will download too, showing you public transportation routes, metro stops, hotels, attractions, restaurants, hospitals, etc. Then, you can enter the addresses of your hotel/hostel, the airport, restaurants, and all of the sights that you don't want to miss during your trip and drop pins on each location.
When you arrive, you will be able to easily navigate the city, enjoying your time rather than struggling with a paper map and making yourself a target for pickpocketing and other crime. If you find a cool place or need to remember where your tour bus is parked, you can drop a pin to find your way back. This also allows you to freely wander the city without getting lost. You can also turn on the tracking feature to see where you wandered during the day and how far you walked. If you have friends who are traveling to that city you just visited, you can export your pins for the city and they can import them into their Pocket Earth app!
2. Always have a charged phone and carry a copy of your passport.
Pocket Earth is great, but it is useless if your phone loses charge so monitor your charge level throughout the day. Always know how to find your way back to your hotel or meeting point if your phone loses charge or your phone is stolen. Also, always carry a copy of your passport. The only time you should carry the actual passport is during travel to other countries and whenever you know that you will have to provide official identification (hotels, banks, phone stores, etc.). If you get all the way to the phone store, but didn't bring your passport, ask if they will accept a copy of your passport or a drivers license as ID, sometimes they will!
Changes in flight plans, closures of museums and popular restaurants, bad weather, and more will challenge your plans. Some adventures will not live up to what you expected and others will be greater than you imagined. To thrive abroad, you must be flexible, always open to a new adventure and willing to learn something new every day.

New petition to the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia
Author Topic: New petition to the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia (Read 6685 times)

Re: New petition to the head of the Investigative Committee of Russia
Thank you for your advice on where to look for the disclosure of Wab theory.
I must say that I have read all his articles, dialogues with other members ... But to notice any empirical thesis (which would indicate why basically a tragedy actually occurred) from his side, I must admit that I did not find it . It is full of academic lectures, advocacy of Russian legislation, persuasion and discrediting of differently thinking people, avoidance of certain questions posed by people in the forum ... So that I actually got the feeling that it's all just a defense of the thesis that in fact it is not nothing happened, for which the state and the authorities would be guilty or responsible. In fact, nothing more than a continuation of the thesis of an 'unexplained force that could not be resisted'.
If I miss anything for negligence, I apologize.
Of course this is only my personal opinion and does not reflect the views of this forum.
So? What does it matter how one builds its theory. Or not. If one has any theory at all. I don't. If you can find something - good, if not - leave it be. Seriously - what's your fascination with WAB?
« Last Edit: July 22, 2019, 11:19:08 AM by Teddy »
He may not have posted a 1, 2, 3 sequence of events, but from what I can see, he believes one was injured on the third rock ridge down the slope, several fell into the ravine at a location with considerable height some meters from where the RAV4 were found, and the others died of exposure attempting to rescue the injured.
Pretty good theory in my opinion however, I don't know his version of why they left the tent to begin with.
There is a sequence here - his words. I only translated.
https://dyatlovpass.com/ravine-borzenkov
How did the events unfold
"Lyuda, Semyon and Aleksander Kolevatov found wounded Tibo on the 3rd stone ridge (where Maslennikov drawing shows the dropped flashlight) and carry him from there following the easiest and most even route. In this area this is the most probable way. They have come on a place marked as 8 high slope. From there the cedar can be seen in the afternoon. At night the reflexion of the fire lit by Doroshenko and Krivonischenko will be well visible. From the top of the slope of white snow against white snow the edge and drop are not clear. While carrying Tibo they didn't notice it and the whole group tumble down the slope. Lyuda and Semyon were injured. Only Aleksander Kolevatov remained mobile and went in the direction of the fire for help. He found Doroshenko and Krivonischenko dead and removed some clothes repositioning them next to each other. Kolevatov went back (dropping some clothes found before the bodies in May 1959) at made a temporary den to lay down the injured hikers on branches while moving them to the fire. He then went to the place of fall where there are now three injured hikers and start transporting them one by one in the following order: Lyuda, Nikolay and Semyon. The work Kolevatov did was very exhausting, he didn't manage to transfer not a single person from the den to the fire. The strength of a man is not infinite even in survival mode."
Not sure where Igor and Zina were during all this, or why dig a den if the ultimate goal was to relocate them to the cedar next to the fire... If the fire was started by the 2Yuries it may have already been out. I dunno.... See my signature line.
What I wrote It was just my opinion. Nothing else. Democratic right to thought. It was just an opinion, not a claim. Of course It does not any matter how one builds its theory. Like it does not matter who has found who. In the end, everyone was found dead. Important is why these young people died if, according to normal logic, they had to live for at least 50 years. Important is that things remain hidden in the name of state law. Important is that somebody is allowed to ignor a recognized pathologists like Mr Thumanov and on the other hand is offended when somebody has been given a joke at the expense of the 375 (or more) discussion on whether the snow avalanche was or not. There is much more important things than proving who is more clever than the other. And I totally agree with you, Teddy, if someone puts out some theory or thesis, let him develop it. Not that immediately appears a person who, due to his great ego, tries to deny it in any way. And immediately everyone is satisfied with demagogic rhetoric.
Nothing else matters.
P.s.:Where everyone thinks the same no one thinks
So we are on one page. Only a note - who found who does matter. Here is an example:
Akselrod saw Slobodin's body and noticed the icy bed. So we say his dying place wasn't doctored and probably he died first because he was still warm when he fell.
Yes, but Akselrod didn't see the rest of the bodies so if he is the only one noticing the ice under bodies we can't be sure the rest didn't have it too.
This a small example. I think it is important who found who, or in other words - who was present. Or else how can we believe the testimonies for people that haven't seen the bodies, or the tent or the labaz? Of course we need to know who found them. And when.
So we are on one page again.
Only a note:
Who is found who is relevant only if it leads to conclusions which is basically important and that is: Why Slobodin was at that night in the snow and not in the tent as he should be? As long as this (who found who) does not give an absolute answer to the basic question, it is not relevant at all. And we all know where we are now with the solution of DPI problem. At the same point as in 1959. For now.
That is for once the definition of generative semantics. Linearity of the syntax is for now only known communication. The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage more critical and dissident views. This gives people the sense that there is free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are reinforced by the limits placed on the range of the debate.

Hello. I apologize for the long silence.
I'll try to be brief.
The Prosecutor's office of the Russian Federation did not advance in studying, to be exact in the formulation of the reasons of death of tourists of Dyatlov's group. And this is understandable. It's not that simple. Indeed do far not simply. The Prosecutor's office cannot explain floridly. Pour reasoning on many pages can not. She is expected to give a concrete answer. But how I understand it, probably TIME has NOT COME YET.
About the review of WAB on my explanations on the topic. a lot to write different details with the distraction from the essence, arguments about many things and about nothing was not the goal. At one time I dealt with the topic very closely, when it was not even the subject of wide discussion. I have outlined only the basic. 1000 little things, Yes, as you correctly wrote, WAB, you can add infinitely about the kitchen.
And as nor twist , all same in information field there is indeed two strongest purveyor their goals - all to reduce to technogenu (rocket), all to reduce to avalanche ( snow Board). And each of the captains Buyanov or Kuntsevich has its own resources. History as where it went, I too can Express, but the subject of the causes of death it is mediocre attitude.
Kuntsevich's method now-involvement of the public. Buyanov rather engaged in work on the Internet. His forces persecute any version, ridicule other points of view. But for the sake of justice it is necessary to tell that in information space of the Russian Federation so much fake and nonsense is really thrown out that Buyanov as the orderly. But it is distinguished by excessive suppression of the conspiracy , even spoils. He considers himself the only true , and the rest of the conspiracy theorists. And even earned the title of special conspiracy theorist: https://cont.ws/@otto18/1284958.
All I know is very well. Details of the mass. Wrote the gist.
As for the special conditions of discussions on the Russian Internet about the freedom of the versions that need to be defended or quit doing it if you do not have the strength. Dear foreigners. I do not know what the expert from Russia will say about this, although I already guess. But I'm from Russia and understand why someone does not see "policy" in the case of the Dyatlov group. Alas. She is. And such big questions in Russia always - POLITICS. And in Russia, everything is not so rosy with legislation and even with copyright.
At me personally my materials were printed as articles under other people's names on the Internet. My e-mail was being hacked. I am well versed in the possibilities of the media, who works out what topic, who supports whom. And even who drowns whom. And that's politics. Independent authors in order to reach a certain level, to bring their research to the public in Russia need to have what we call an "administrative resource". Or only samizdat, Litress, Ozone, etc. Many abandoned their research, although they stood at the origins and were even much closer to the sources than I am. The main reasons are two-suspension from the air and discrediting opinions (ridicule, witticism, sophistry, involvement in scandals). In order to stay in the game, you need : connections, money, patronage. It's all there in two groups : Kuntsevich and brawlers. But there is no have sensible other. Although developments are not weak. this Russia. Alas.
Why for example, as I think, WAB, is not very willing to advertise its version. 1. The risk of getting criticism on the little things, and he himself is a specialist in this profile, as you can see. 2. Risk of being recognized.
Very an interesting forum those, that here there is no personal squabbles, that very inherent forums in Russia. For such a characteristic-the analysis of the state of woodpecker studies in the Russian Internet, special forces would have thrown insults long ago. There are specially created accounts for such actions. And that's part of the game. And since this exists and became apparent to me in 2012, this is politics. And correctly you say that "something is wrong" if there is no interest of the state to open archives, there is only imitation of participation as here-the regional Prosecutor's office interfered. So far only imitation is visible. But raised a big noise, a big HYIP in the media and on the Internet. And it is also easy to explain why and why. And there is a high confidence that in connection with strengthening of role of the state and strengthening of the prohibitions, the subject of the disclosure of the causes and conditions of death , forming a criminal case, Lev Ivanov, will be pushed even more. Although already today there are obvious conclusions and even evidence that the case suffers from shortcomings and even, we can say, huge gaps. But there are forces, all of which is throwing, which prove that it is normal. They also have logic. Because the fans are put on the head of don without evidence too much. Yes, the most correct thing is to describe yourself on the data that are almost not disputed. Or have become recently disputed, since several so-called "facts" were born from the first publications of journalists.
For example, for a long time it was believed, and some forces still insist on it, that the stove was not HEATED by tourists on the last night.
For a long time we were convinced, any story began with the question: why did the tourists in PANIC FLED from the tent?
And the most deadly question at any stated version: whence at tourists SUCH SERIOUS damages (Thibaut, Zolotarev, Dubinina).
There are a number of similar moments. But these are keys. And these keys determine the version. The most replicated version of the missiles and avalanche, the participation of the military in the massacre. If it works very well, not enough pages, and year of the explanatory proceedings. And if you pour water, as now happens in order to prevent sensible proceedings, then not enough and 10 years.
The General like said, can be move to particulars.
Respected Aspen, not see under these circumstances fisksirvoaniya traces and testimony eyewitnesses any traces technical funds type missiles on sorrow's, where teetered tent, also traces falsifications on shifting the tents. Why is the authors version of the missile (technogenic) vs hurricane to realize it's possible. But to deny the hurricane where he can't, though , because no clear traces of his absence, but the traces of the presence there of large power wind swept away the snow masses from the top so that the top cover was revealed before the advent of berries (there are testimonies of the search engines). By the way the video was submitted to the Internet Kuntsevich. About temperature, wind and humidity can definitely be said for the presence of " traces of columns." By the presence of the first corpse in the form of Slobodin says "corpse bed", the ice around the cooling body. Classic freezing. The others have no such signs. But there are plenty of other things. Of the many small details is not yet possible to create a single picture, unless you allow one terrible, very conspiracy conclusion: the case file reflects not what happened to the corpses in fact during life.

Hi there. Are you c!aiming that the stove was in use that night?
https://maxpark.com/community/4043/content/7274420
An interesting review of the film about the campaign of the Dyatlov Group, which was held on the NTV channel in the Russian Federation https://maxpark.com/community/4043/content/7274420
Sorry, it is very difficult to use it for me who do not speak English. And it is difficult, because there is no Russian-language version of the forum. The automatic Yandex page Translator does not work.

What do you have in common with writers like Ray Bradbury, scientists like Stephen Jay Gould, filmmakers like Ray Harryhausen, and artists like William Stout?
That's not a riddle or a trick question: When all of us envision prehistoric worlds — from dinosaurs to woolly mammoths to Neanderthals — what we see in our mind's eye is usually the image Charles R. Knight gave us. His paintings have influenced over a century of scientific fact and fiction.
Charles Robert Knight began his artistic career in the 19th century, but though he was legally blind he saw further back into pre-history and further forward into the scientific future than anyone has ever done, and his effect on popular culture (from King Kong to Jurassic Park ) is unparalleled.
Though featured as a character in the IMAX film "T-Rex: Back to the Cretaceous" and Bone Sharps, Cowboys, and Thunder Lizards most people only know him through his work, be it a painting of leaping dinosaurs, a sculpture of hunting cavemen, or some other scene from the distant past. But as Stephen Jay Gould said "I cannot think of a stronger influence ever wielded by a single man in such a broad domain of paleontology."
Now, for the first time, Knight's life and work are presented in his own words. This previously unpublished autobiography will introduce you to his life and work, travels and accomplishments, and some of the amazing people who influenced him…
…and who he influenced as well: The book features an introduction by Ray Bradbury and Ray Harryhausen, illustrations by Mark Schultz ( Xenozoic Tales , Prince Valiant ), a biography by William Stout ( The New Dinosaurs ), and appreciations from noted scientists and his granddaughter Rhoda Knight Kalt.
Charles R. Knight: Autobiography of an Artist is available in two editions: a hardcover with a special additional numbered plate, signed by Mark Schultz and available in a limited edition of 100 only from the publisher ($35), and as a trade paperback ($11.95).
Both editions were designed by Wesley Tanner of Passim Editions, offer rare photographs, beautiful illustrations, annotations to enrich the experience of modern readers, and a rare glimpse into the mind of the artist who brought the dry bones of history to life.

The School District of Palm Beach County has launched a mobile app for handheld devices that will access information like SIS Gateway, view the school calendars, lunch menus, and feature options to make school payments or get push notifications containing important news.
"The app and redesign of school and District websites are an acknowledgement and commitment by the District that if we are serious about engaging our audiences, then we have to do it on their platforms and their terms," said Amity Schuyler, Chief Officer of Strategic Communications and Engagement, who is leading the District's efforts on the app and website redesign.
As the mobile application evolves, schools will be able to push out their own content, such as individual YouTube channels and push notifications specific to their campus.

Junior (A) and (B) Football Teams in End of Season Cup Action This Week.
posted 3 Dec 2013, 15:15 by Willie Horgan
With the end of the 2013 season almost upon us, two of the Brian Dillons Junior Football teams have important Cup games arranged for this week. First into action are the Brian Dillons Junior (B) Footballers who meet Rathpeacon ,in the Seandun Cup semi-final, out in Pairc Diolunaigh on tomorrow (Wednesday) evening, 4th December, 2013, with a 7.30pm throw-in. Brian Dillons were in sparkling form in their comfortable victory over Whites Cross , in the previous round, and a repeat of that display could well earn them their ticket to final of the competition.
On next Friday evening, 6th December 2013, the Brian Dillons Junior (A) Footballers attempt to add the McSwiney Cup to their recent City Division Junior (1) Football title triumph, when they face the holders, Whites Cross, in the final, which is also fixed for Pairc Diolunaigh at 7.30pm. Having already beaten Whites Cross in both the Championship and League semi-finals ,this season, Brian Dillons will be hoping to complete a treble success over their great rivals, on next Friday. However, it must be remembered that Whites Cross have a fantastic winning record in the McSwiney Cup and they will make strenuous efforts to retain the trophy on Friday. A great game is in prospect.

Given current market conditions, there has been no shortage of Ponzi investment schemes, perpetrators, and victims. These schemes are varied in their methods, but usually lure investors with the false promise of high financial returns or dividends not available through traditional investments.
This type of fraud is named after Charles Ponzi, who operated an enticing scheme in the early twentieth century that guaranteed investors a 50 percent return on their investment in postal coupons. Instead of investing the money he received, Ponzi simply used it to pay "dividends" to initial investors and pocketed the rest himself. The scheme fell apart when investors grew suspicious and funds dried up, making it impossible to make additional payouts and keep the ruse going.


How do you solve the world's toughest challenges? One way is the launch the world's largest student competition.
That's the idea behind the Hult Prize, which is designed to get students at universities around the world thinking about business solutions to global problems. The winners get $1 million and the chance to bounce their social enterprise startup ideas off some of the brightest minds in the international business community.
The Hult Prize is presented in partnership with the Clinton Global Initiative and focuses on a particular problem chosen each year by former President Bill Clinton. In his 2014 President's Challenge, Clinton is asking the teams of four or five students to "build sustainable and scalable social enterprises to address non-communicable disease in urban slums." And, to top it off, the challenge calls for all this to be completed by 2019.
Among 10,000-plus applicants this year, more than 200 regional finalists have been selected. The next round of competition will begin in March in Boston, San Francisco, London, Dubai, Shanghai and Sao Paulo. Winners there will spend the summer at the Hult Prize Accelerator, where they'll hone and then make their final pitch. The ultimate winner will be named in September.
Previous challenges were "One Laptop Per Child" in 2010; "The Clean Water Crisis" in 2011; "Global Poverty" in 2012; and "The Global Food Crisis" in 2013. Clearly, these are all complex issues. This year's challenge, however, might be the most complex yet.
Slums are informal, many times illegal, settlements. Residents can't typically depend on government services; in fact, slums exist because of government failure.
The non-communicable diseases that dominate in the slums are cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease and diabetes. In other words, the same diseases the rest of world struggles with.
The difference is people living in slums sometimes don't even officially exist and haven't been able to count on consistent help from governments or NGOs. Social enterprises – with their focus on sustainability as opposed to donations – might be the best hope.
And who better to come up with promising social enterprises than promising young people, undaunted by legacies of failure and Hult's challenge to "tackle grave issues faced by billions of people"?
Past winners of this prize have been amazing. We can't wait to see what solutions the students come up with this year.
Speaking of solutions, the three finalists for this year's World Design Impact Prize have been announced, and two health care ideas are included: the ABC Syringe and the BioLite HomeStove (see below). The winner will be announced Feb. 28.


FAQ :: Why do so many people, even Christians act so vain?
People are naturally vain because everyone is naturally proud. Pride is the sin from which all other sins spring. When a person becomes humble through the power of the HOLY SPIRIT, he will lose his vanity. The key to ridding yourself of vanity is to humble yourself.
The way we do that is through daily prayer (Luke18.1l Ephesians 6.18; 1 Thessalonians 5.17), disciplined, daily Bible reading (Deuteronomy 17.9; Revelation 1.3), studying the Bible daily (Proverbs 8.34; John 5.39; Acts 17.11; 2 Timothy 2.15), memorizing Scripture daily (Deuteronomy 6.6; Psalm 37.31; 40.8; 119.11; Proverbs 2.1; 3.1; 4.1; 8.21) and meditating on Scripture daily (Joshua 1.8; Job 23.12; Psalm 1.2; 119.15, 23, 48, 78, 99, 148).
The wicked are wicked. They commit every sin imaginable and they enjoy sinning. They destroy the lives of those around them by their murders, rapes, pillaging, plundering, stealing, lying, bearing false witness, getting drunk and high, slandering others, causing dissension, giving and taking bribes, rioting, revolting, starting wars, mocking God and His Word, taking the name of Jesus in vain and using His holy name as a curse word, blaspheming the HOLY SPIRIT and committing hundreds of other sins.
Those who die in their sins will be judged, found guilty and cast into the Lake of Fire where they will be punished for those sins throughout all eternity (Revelation 20.11-15; Matthew 25.46).

Q: Make Google Chrome report it's running on a different OS I'm running Chrome on Linux and I want to make it report to the website I'm developing as it's running on a Windows machine and on a Mac OS, for testing purposes. I'm not talking just about the User Agent, if you go to about:version there is a field which says OS:. I want to fool the website as much as I can, how is it possible?

A: Not too sure if you can do this, but I'd start with looking at Fiddler (http://fiddler2.com/) and then intercepting the calls and modifying the relevant fields.
