The Lake Oswego Millennium Concert Band (LOMCB) is a full instrumentation concert band of 72 musicians. We provide high quality musical presentations to Lake Oswego and the surrounding areas. LOMCB is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
We perform three formal concerts in the Lakeridge High School Auditorium each season before a highly responsive and loyal audience of between 450 and 600 people. In addition, LOMCB presents a patriotic concert the evening of July 3rd at Millennium Park Plaza in downtown Lake Oswego. A smaller group of band members also plays for the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting in Millennium Park each year.
LOMCB also has three small ensembles – a clarinet quartet (The Millennium Clarinets), a brass quintet (The Millennium Brass), and a wind quintet (The Millennium Winds) . The largest performance ensemble is the 18-member Millennium Dance Band. These highly accomplished ensembles perform regularly throughout the Portland Metro area and are available to perform at concerts, private parties, receptions, weddings and most other venues where the addition of fine music will add to the success of the event. The Millennium Dance Band performs dance and concert music as performed by the "Big Bands" of the 1930's, 40's and 50's, with an occasional selection from more recent times. This popular group is available to perform for your dance and concert events. For more information on these groups, see Ensembles.
The Lake Oswego Millennium Concert Band (LOMCB) was formed in the fall of 1999 as part of the Millennium celebration sponsored by the City of Lake Oswego. The charge for the band was to perform one of a series of concerts and activities that would lead the Lake Oswego community toward a grand community celebration of the coming of the new millennium. Dale Cleland, a long-time Lake Oswego resident and former Lake Oswego Schools Director of Music, was appointed as director of the new organization. A call for musicians went out and rehearsals started soon thereafter for the 55 member concert band.
Our band had a highly successful concert in November, 1999, and since the musicians and their director were having so much fun, it was decided to continue the band's rehearsal and performance schedule. We played a well received concert at Marylhurst University in early April, 2000, and performed again before a large and enthusiastic crowd in the newly dedicated Millennium Park Plaza in downtown Lake Oswego in June, 2000.
Since that first concert in 1999, the band has grown to a full instrumentation concert band of 72 musicians.

Non-compete clause and non-disclosure agreement used to be reserved for high-level executives and top-secret industries.
But they are now popping up in industries you least expect.
As an employee, it's important to know what these agreements are all about and how you should deal with them when presented with one.
Let's start by examining what the agreements are since they both mean different things and could be offered under different circumstances.
The non-compete clause is signed to cover situations that might occur after you stop working with your current employer. It prevents you from directly competing with your former employer once you end your contract with them.
The agreement outlines how long you're prevented from competing with the former employer and often goes into more details in terms of the geographical limits of the contract.
The purpose of a non-compete clause or NCC is to protect your employer from you just resigning and taking your talent to a competitor – leaving them in trouble.
It's typically not just about working for a competitor either but it also prevents you from launching your own competing business.
If you were fighting for the same commercial space, then you would be prevented from doing it for a specific period of time.
The non-disclosure agreement deals with sharing information.
When you sign the NDA, you agree not to disclose anything the company considers proprietary or confidential.
You are not allowed to share this information or use it to your advantage while you're in the company or after you've left it. The information can range from business plans to models and financial information.
The purpose is to prevent you from leaking confidential information that might help the competitors.
Unlike the NCC, you are able to start your own business or work for a competitor but you just can't use the proprietary or confidential information you gained during employment at the new job.
Now, if an employer presents you with an NCC or an NDA to sign, you should never do so on the spot.
There is no legal justification for the employer to ask you to sign one immediately – you must be given time to go over the paper. You shouldn't make the opposite hasty decision either.
Don't refuse to sign one altogether before understanding what the agreement is about. There are valid reasons for the employer to ask you to sign it and the agreements are not always harmful or bad.
You also need to remember the employer could potentially withdraw their job offer if you refuse to sign the agreement.
The Winona Search Group, a Minnesota-based recruitment company, says on their website, "General objections to signing non-competes can end up being red flags for employers" – rather than just saying 'no', you want to produce an informed response to open dialogue.
When you're presented with either of the agreements, you should ask to have a day or two to go over it before signing. You want to fully understand the implications because once you sign it, the document does become legally binding.
If you feel like the details are unclear or murky, you should consider discussing the content with an employment attorney.
You might find free legal advice online.
This is a useful thing to consider, especially if you've never had to sign an NCC or NDA before.
Once you are ready to sign the document, you need to remember to ask for a copy. Some employers might offer to hold on to the only copy but you have the legal right to your own copy and you should definitely get it. Keep it in your records to ensure it isn't changed.
If the is any problem with the agreement, having a copy will help you dispute it or take proceedings further.
Furthermore, remember the employer has to present you with a new version of the agreement to sign if they want to make changes.
It'll effectively be a new document, which you then need to read and understand before signing. The employer cannot make changes without your knowledge or without you agreeing to them.
It's important to understand you don't have to agree to sign the documents as they are presented to you. It is a good idea to negotiate the agreements, especially if you find something troubling.
The employer may or may not agree to this but it's always worth asking for changes if you are uncomfortable with the agreements in their current form.
Know what you are looking to achieve. Have a clear idea of the clauses you want to change or the details you aren't comfortable with. It's much easier to start negotiations when you know what you want to change rather than just stating you want the documents changed.
Do you think the specific limitations are off (such as timeframe or geographical limits)? Perhaps you find the wording wrong or unclear. Whatever your objections, it's important to determine what you want out of the negotiations and what a good agreement would look like to you.
Understand the company's real concerns. It's important to realize the real concerns the company will have and the reasons they are asking employees to sign these agreements. You want to ensure you don't ask the agreement to be scrapped but you show compassion and understanding for the employer's concerns.
The employer might agree to not have a geographic limitation in the NCC if you agree to add a non-solicitation clause to the agreement.
You could also point out the timeline for NDA seems too excessive in terms of your career progression. Instead of scrapping it altogether, you could simply suggest the timeframe is cut a little shorter.
This shows the employer you understand where they are coming from. It reassures them that you take the agreements seriously but you also have to think about your own career path and the impact the agreement might have on you.
Ask for career reassurances. It is important to ensure you don't end up signing the document only to feel like your career progression is stuck.
Since you might be restricted to working with a competitor or starting your own business, you don't want your career to just be stuck.
The employer should provide you with enough reassurances that career progression is possible at the firm – you want to have the ability to advance and change jobs, as well as to improve your earnings.
If you can't get any of these reassurances then you need to consider what the agreements might mean for your career path.
Consult the HR department or an employment attorney if needed. Throughout the negotiations, you should talk to an attorney or the HR department to clear any confusion and to get support.
You don't want to deal with the issues alone if you feel uncertain about the procedures or the different elements in the agreement.
You also need to understand the documents are not just a random paper you need to sign. Breaking the NCC or the NDA is not a minor thing.
It can have serious consequences, which is why it's essential for you to understand the agreement fully before signing.
Businesses take confidentiality seriously and they are always wary of competitors gaining ground – they will look to enforce these agreements to protect the business.
What can happen if you are found to be in breach of the agreement?
Your employer is most likely going to sue you and you'll need to defend yourself in court.
Of course, the issue might be settled before it goes that far – you should consult a lawyer to ensure the issue is resolved smoothly.
You will need to pay a fine. This might be determined by the actual agreement or it might be decided by the judge.
You will lose your job. If you are working for the employer and you break the NDA, the employer could dismiss you from your job.
It's actually this threat of a costly legal battle that makes employers use these agreements. The threat of having to pay a fine can be enough for employees to seek employment elsewhere or to stay with the company to avoid having to find an employer that's not direct competition.
Now, if you are thinking the fee can't be that bad and you are prepared to lose your job, here are a few examples of the cost of breaching the agreements.
According to a post by G & G Law, the amounts former employers have won have been anything from $7,313.72 to $138,000.
Therefore, you aren't going to be talking about a few pennies – making it imperative, you know what you are signing up for.
When it comes down to considering whether you've broken the agreement or not, it's the courts that can have the final say.
What the decision boils down to is to decide whether the demands in the agreements are reasonable or not.
The potential harm – When presenting the case to courts, the employer has to be able to establish your breach as harmful or potentially harmful to the company. You simply breaking the agreement tend not to be enough. The employer has to show that your specific action in breaking the agreement harmed or had the potential to harm the business.
There must be legitimate business interest at stake for the courts to accept the claims. This means your action must have an impact on trade secrets, proprietary information, investments in special technology or training, or harm in terms of long-term customer relationships.
The specific time period – Courts will also examine the time period defined by the agreement (if any). The idea is to determine whether it's reasonable or not and the ruling can often depend on the industry and the nature of the job.
For example, when considering the non-compete contract, the courts will examine what is a reasonable timeframe for preventing you from working for a competitor or launching your own business. If you're a hairdresser, then anything below a year might seem reasonable (often even less than this).
On the other hand, if you've been a top executive, the courts might think anything from two to five years can be a reasonable timeframe.
The prohibited territory – Similar to the previous point, the courts will examine the territory defined in the agreement and whether it is reasonable.
In today's world, most people move about quite a bit and NCCs and NDAs must take into account this kind of territorial context. You can't expect the local cafeteria in a different country is a competitor of the bakery you worked for 20,000 miles away!
The reasonable territory, therefore, depends on the business and the nature of the organization. In the example of the hairdresser, a small ten-mile perimeter might be considered reasonable and for the executive of a global company, the perimeter might be much wider.
The impact on the employee – The courts will also examine whether the agreements seriously hinder your ability to work. In essence, they will consider the impact of the agreement on your career path.
Your ability to make a living will be considered and things such as forced relocation can come into question. For example, the agreement might be deemed unreasonable if it means you have no other option than to move to a different city, state or country.
On the other hand, if your skills are easily transferable and you aren't restricted by industry, you might not be as successful in overturning the agreement.
The interest of the general public – Finally, there is the consideration on what the agreement means for the general public, especially in terms of the issue of monopoly.
In essence, if the agreements create a situation that severely stifles competition, then it might be deemed unacceptable because it helps to create a monopoly.
It's important to understand there needs to be a distinction between normal competition and intended harm. The courts won't accept agreements that prevent normal competition from taking place.
Now, it's important to remember the above five points are just things the courts will consider – how much weight they give to each point will depend on the courts and the local laws.
It's, nonetheless, a good idea to understand these points as it can help you during the negotiations and in figuring out what the agreements might mean to you.
Before you sign the document, it's essential to check what the agreement says about the length of validity.
You should know how long it will be enforced and what happens when you leave the job.
If these issues are not clearly defined, you definitely want to ask the employer to add them to the contract before signing.
A detailed timeline for the enforcement will help you live your life accordingly and ensures you don't end up breaking the agreement.
Now, despite the contract having a release clause or defined enforcement time, it is possible to ask for a release earlier.
For example, if you are changing jobs, you might negotiate with the employer whether it is possible to release you immediately from either of the agreements.
Whether you will be released from the contract or not will depend on your reasons for leaving the job.
If you are changing jobs, the employer might feel the agreement doesn't have to be in place any longer – especially if you are changing industries or moving far away.
However, if you are leaving to work for a direct competitor, it's unlikely the employer agrees to release you from the clause.
If you have been laid off, it's definitely a good idea to ask to be released.
Your argument in this scenario is strong – your employment has ended without you wanting that to happen.
Therefore, you're not leaving the employer out of your own desire and it's not reasonable for the employer to enforce the agreements.
However, it is not something they are necessarily required to do – so you shouldn't expect it to automatically happen.
The key thing to know about NCCs and NDAs is that they are becoming more common.
But this doesn't mean you should just sign them on the spot.
It's important to read and to understand the agreements – including the fine print. You want to ensure you don't get in trouble simply because you didn't bother reading the documents.
While it can mean a loss of a job opportunity to decline to sign an agreement, you shouldn't get into a bad deal just to get a job. If you can't negotiate the terms, it might be time to look for another job opportunity.


Ahhhh, the last bits of summer shine through. Happy me, today I did'nt feel like sitting inside, so I decided to wash windows with Debbie on the riverwalk. MIAD now has a kind of wooden deck on it's riverside that runs along the whole length of the building, and now that the windows are accessible, my boss figures we should clean them. Today is a perfect day to do that, I was just chillin' by the river, watching the boats go by and occasionally - cleaning a window.
Last night I went to that show at the Eisner with Sara and Carrie, it was pretty good and I hope to get a copy of that magazine "Clamor" soon. I don't know if they sell it here yet, I'm sure they do at hobby shops though.
Saw Jeffy and Timmy before I went to pick Sara up, we all went to Noodles to get food, though I did'nt eat 'cause I did'nt bring my wallet. Good times though, good times.
Tonight I am going to see a movie with Jose at the Oriental, and we can bask in the nice weather before we go :).
That sounds cool, by then I will have gotten the tickets and we can just go from my house :).

Strzygowski and Eitelberger belonged to different generations, and to different political and social groups; Eitelberger was a noble from a German military family, Strzygowski the son of a successful merchant based in Austro-Polish Galicia. Eitelberger was a liberal who had championed revolution in 1848, but the Habsburg Monarchy's liberalization, and the bureaucracy's embrace of his ideas and projects made him, by the early 1850s, an ardent Habsburg patriot. 1 Eitelberger's scholarly research ranged across all artistic epochs, but he focused his attention on the classical and medieval monuments so important to the identity of the Holy Roman Empire; he did not like Byzantium and feared the East, from which, he said on numerous occasions, came the barbarian threats, past and present, that Austrians had continually had to combat.

To celebrate National Afternoon Tea Week, which takes place from 13 – 19 August, Choc on Choc is launching an afternoon tea entirely made out of chocolate.
The afternoon tea will be taking place at the London Marriott Park Lane in its Lanes of London restaurant.
You'll be able to eat all of the traditional afternoon tea treats – but some of them have been swapped for chocolate.
The tea features a selection of finger sandwiches, scones and pastries as well as Choc on Choco's chocolate cucumber sandwiches, chocolate biscuits and chocolate custard creams that look like the real thing.
There's also a chocolate scone, which is filled with jam. Yum.
Each part of the chocolate afternoon tea, which costs £39.50 per person, is handmade from Belgian milk and white chocolate.
It's created using Choc on Choc's patented production method that layers chocolate on top of chocolate.
The afternoon tea will be available between midday and 5pm on the dates mentioned – but for those who can't make it, you can actually have the afternoon tea delivered to your house for £30.
Flo Broughton, Co-Founder of Choc on Choc said: 'As an independent British brand, we love all things afternoon tea so wanted a fitting way to celebrate National Afternoon Tea Week.

What is a Contact Cavity?
Do I need to see a dentist? Do I need to see a doctor? No. In our field of expertise, all you need to do is see an assembler.
I looked up the word cavity and it said, "A cavity is a hollow in an object." So, if you are at a dentist office, a cavity is a bad thing because it is a hole in your tooth. If you are at a doctor's office and he talks about your abdominal cavity, he is simply referring to the space in your abdomen where your organs are located. In an aircraft like the C-130, V-22, or S-92, to find a contact cavity, first, all you have to do is look at a wiring harness or cockpit panel. Second, look at one of the connectors on the aircraft electrical wiring harness. Third, notice all of the small little holes inside of the insert arrangement of the connector. Those small holes in the connector are called the contact cavities. A contact cavity simply houses a contact (which has been crimped or soldered onto an aircraft wire) or a filler plug.
To see some great images of contact cavities in aerospace aircraft wiring harness connectors, refer to this blog written on Independence Day. You can also give me a call at 817.377.WIRE  to discuss contact cavities or perhaps rewiring your fixed-wing aircraft or helicopter.
We are the sole licensee of Lockheed Martin for F-16 electrical products. Through this agreement, we have access to Lockheed Martin's F-16 engineering data, tooling and configuration control information. We also have a Technical Services agreement with Sikorsky for all of their aircraft. This agreement allows us to obtain their engineering data needed to rewire helicopters that Sikorsky manufactures.

A New Contender in the Fight to End Obesity
We wrote it... Did you buy it?
You might've seen some of the mainstream headlines last weekend. And if not, well, here you go...
They're all talking about this...
Late last Friday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approved a breakthrough weight-loss drug made by Danish company Novo Nordisk (NVO).
As soon as later this month, the company plans to launch the drug, called Wegovy. It's a higher-dose version of the company's existing diabetes drug, Ozempic (generic name "semaglutide"), which is now approved for treating chronic obesity...
Here are the attention-grabbing details from Stansberry NewsWire analyst Nick Koziol...
The FDA said that the drug was safe and well-tolerated across trials...
The drug is administered via a shot once a week, NVO said. Wegovy is used as an addition to diet changes and exercise for obese and overweight adults with at least one other comorbidity, NVO added.
The data behind this drug are incredible. NVO said that trial patients without Type 2 diabetes who received the drug reported weight loss of 17% to 18% over the 68-week period. According to a doctor interviewed by MarketWatch, patients only see 5% to 10% declines in their weight using existing drugs.
According to Stansberry Venture Technology editor Dave Lashmet, in trials, Novo Nordisk's diabetes drug helped obese people increase their daily activity levels as they lost weight...
Dave, who has been way ahead of this story, says the drug can help people lose 15% of their weight in a year. And the trials were so effective that many people in them stopped taking the weekly injection because their quality of life improved significantly.
As Dave wrote in a special alert to Venture Technology subscribers recently...
Every step was lighter.
This turned people who had trouble walking down the street into folks who could walk around the block, then half a mile, and then join an exercise group.
This news might stun most people...
It's hard to believe that a drug could help someone lose 15% of their weight in a year by reducing appetite and increasing physical activity.
But Dave has clued his readers into dramatic medical breakthroughs before. He likes to conduct "boots on the ground" research more than most analysts we know... And it frequently pays off in a big way for his subscribers.
That's the case here...
Dave was at a cardiology conference in Paris in 2019. He sat among hundreds of doctors in a breakout session hosted by Novo Nordisk that convinced him of the potential of the weight-loss drugs the company was working on back then...
Dave and analyst Alan Gula – who later visited Novo Nordisk's headquarters in Denmark to do more research and tour the facilities – believed in the long-term potential for the company's drugs to expand their reach beyond diabetes treatment. As they wrote in Stansberry's Investment Advisory...
We attended Novo Nordisk's Capital Markets Day in Denmark last month. There, the company laid out new, long-term goals for 2025. We had a chance to speak with Martin Holst Lange, head of global development for Novo Nordisk, about the company's ambitious obesity strategy.
Novo Nordisk is seeking to develop drug treatments that are as effective as weight-loss surgery. It's hard to overstate the significance of this goal...
If the company is successful, it will have a potential solution to the obesity epidemic.
Remember, this was before COVID-19 entered our lives... and before talking about threatening "comorbidities" for the virus, like obesity, became as common as the early advice to wash your hands and stay out of public.
The research team behind our flagship Stansberry's Investment Advisory newsletter recommended owning shares of the company back in December 2019, when the stock traded for less than $60 per share. It's now trading for more than $80 per share and set a fresh 52-week high on Thursday.
We first heard Dave present in-depth about the obesity epidemic itself in early March 2020...
This was about the time the world was shutting down.
Dave sat on stage in a large meeting room at our Spring Editors' Conference in Florida, with giant images from his PowerPoint slides projecting behind him. He talked about several big opportunities to invest in companies working on solutions for the growing obesity epidemic.
He rattled off statistics about the problem – like the fact that about one in three U.S. adults are obese and that rates have tripled in recent decades. We wrote more about this topic last August in the Digest...
True obesity affected about 10% of adults in 1990. Now it affects nearly 40% of adults. Obesity is the most rampant health problem in the U.S. today. And we can measure its growth easily.
Dave pointed out that at least 20% of the population of every state in America is overweight today. None of these states met that threshold in 1995, just 26 years ago. More from Dave, courtesy of that August 2020 Digest...
Here's why this matters to the country and our economy: Obesity shortens lives. It stresses bones and hearts, brains and digestion. Plus, it complicates success for any other medical procedure, from surgery to infection control.
Novo Nordisk's pipeline of drugs were among those that could help stop the costly epidemic, he said.
When we caught up with Dave again last summer to get an update on the obesity story, he told us that most non-COVID-related FDA trials had been interrupted or hadn't started yet because of the pandemic, but that Novo Nordisk's treatments were well on their way to approval.
As word got out more recently on Wall Street about that likelihood, NVO shares gained 20% from a recent low on March 24 through May 25, when Dave wrote in his Venture Technology newsletter to expect Novo Nordisk's diabetes drug to get FDA approval to treat general obesity by the end of this month.
That was good news for them...
Dave had already doubled down on owning NVO shares back in in June 2020...
He recommended the stock then to subscribers of Venture Technology...
And folks who watched Dave's online presentation on the obesity epidemic will remember that he was so convinced in the science and data he had seen about Novo Nordisk's drug in development that he "gave away" the ticker as a free pick in his event.
Back then, NVO shares traded at a significant discount to where they are now... And as word spreads of this breakthrough drug, its effectiveness in trials, and more to come from the company, prices could head even higher.
In short, there's still plenty of room for NVO shares to run...
Editor's note: Dave has found three other little-known companies that are fighting to end the obesity epidemic. These incredible opportunities each have the potential to return 1,000% or more... so Dave has agreed to offer a 55% discount on his Stansberry Venture Technology newsletter to help folks looking to profit from the weight-loss fight. This is by far the biggest discount he has ever offered, or ever plans to... and will last for a limited time only. Click here to get started.


Hay fever allergies, also known as respiratory allergies surprising affects of the kids in America. To ones surprise, hay fever allergies are seldom connected to hay or bring about a fever, nor does a virus induce hay fever allergies. With the staggering percentage of children getting affected by allergies, healthcare understanding of how to treat hay fever and respiratory allergies remains restricted.
The nail can be filed down and trimmed cautiously, either at home or by a podiatrist. If the infection is gentle and significantly localized then to treat toenail fungus a medical professional may suggest a medicated nail polish containing either Loceryl or Loprox. If the infection persists or carry on spreading then a medical doctor may well prescribe an oral, systemic anti-fungal medication such as Sporanox or Lamisil. The therapy may takes about 12 weeks. Both of these drugs have some extremely harmful effects that could not be suitable for some individuals.
If your eyes commence to grow to be itchy and aggravated from all of the rubbing from you attempting to relieve the itching and you are unable to get to allergy medicine, you may perhaps want to think about rinsing your eyes with cool water. This can also be beneficial if you have respiratory allergies or if you got the allergen into your eye. It is vital to fully grasp what respiratory allergens are if you count on to guard your kid from them. An allergy is an immune reaction to an irritable substance in the child's atmosphere. The child's body views these irritants as unsafe and releases chemical compounds, such as histamines, that bring about uncomfortable and potentially dangerous symptoms.
There are several causes of respiratory allergies and allergens can come from lots of sources. Popular respiratory allergies are due to the inhaling of allergens such as dust, pollen, mold spores, animal dander, or cockroach or dust mite droppings. When you inhale allergens, it would lead to a respiratory reaction such as sneezing and runny nose. The incidence rate, cost of chronicity and disability and high recurrence price adds up to a problem of epidemic proportions.
In other situations of food allergies there may possibly be nausea and vomiting.
Each time these antibodies recognize the very same invading allergens histamine is released into the bloodstream causing irritating hay fever, respiratory allergies symptoms. There are two major sorts of allergies: seasonal allergies (spring via fall) and perennial allergies (all-year extended). Some sufferers with low back pain have scoliosis, a deviation of the spine to the proper or left that can occur in the thoracic and lumbar spine. A lot of sufferers with low back discomfort have no notion that their low back pain has an emotional component.
I use gentle adjustment, specially in acute scenarios, ice to decrease inflammation and edema in acute situations. I also use EMS to unwind the muscle, homeopathy to stimulate healing, and I use the Chinese instrument qua-sha for soft tissue massage that offers deep penetration. In some cases I use ultrasound and Acupuncture with no needles ( which is incredibly critical-individuals appreciate it quite substantially, for the reason that no one likes needles). Besides this, I do nutrition response testing (NRT) in order to find out nutritional needs and supplement sufferers with entire meals supplements togive them much more nutrients, vitamins and minerals. This will assist facilitate and speed their recovery.
Toenail fungus turns to be a chronic situation, and if it is not aching, various people today do not get treatment. Nevertheless, to treat toenail fungus, folks with unrelieved illness like diabetes should see a doctor if they become conscious of modifications in their nails as it might be an indication of additional really serious issues. If the nail turn out to be pretty thick and it is difficult to wear shoes and one particular feel discomfort whilst walking then one particular should really stop by a medical professional.
Best Low Calorie Restaurants – A lot of sufferers with low back pain have no notion that their low back discomfort has an emotional component. Obtaining the testing performed will make items more straightforward.

Mothers who pursue their career while parenting their tiny tots tend to be happier in general. Although it is assumed that moms work only when their families have a financial need for it, studies show that there are quite a few mothers who continue to work even as their husband earns enough for the whole family. This goes to show that they are actually working because they want to work.
Those who choose to stay at home tend to work all day looking after household chores and tending to their little ones. In these households, fathers spend very little time with their kids. The mothers are expected to help the kids with everything - right from taking a bath and changing their clothes to finishing up their homework and making them study.
Working moms, on the other hand, can have it both ways. They would either have to get back from work to resume their mom-duties and finish all the household chores on their own or their husbands may cut them some slack and help them out with the chores. Although the latter is more pleasant, all working moms find themselves feeling happy and content with their lives.
You would always find working moms walking around with a sense of pride and self-confidence. This is because they know they don't have to rely on their husband for every little thing. They are self-sufficient, feel in control and are perfectly capable of making their own financial decisions.
Working moms set the bar for their kids. They teach their kids how to balance their work life while tending to their family. Daughters learn that there are many benefits to working after having a child. First, parents would sign their kids up for after-school activities to keep them engaged - meaning more skills for the kids. Next, the kids will observe how their parents work together and will learn how to prioritize tasks and make little sacrifices in order to meet their goals.
Mothers who work tend to meet more people and have a stronger social connection due to finding new friends at work. Maintaining constant social contact at work with other adults and having healthy, intellectual conversations on a daily basis helps maintain sanity. At the end of a long day at work, coming home to family gives a great sense of happiness too.
When you become a mother, it is easy to lose a sense of your own identity and a firm grasp of who you really are. It is when the kids grow up and move away from that mothers will suddenly feel like they don't know themselves and will find it really hard to let their kids go and live on their own.
Stay-at-home moms often feel that financial guilt from not making any money of their own. They feel like they are draining their husband and will feel reluctant to ask their husband for money to buy things for themselves. When they earn their own money, they feel free to use it to buy things for themselves and their families - no questions asked.
Where Are Young Moms Shopping These Days?


Tekeze Completed all eyes are on Tana Beles!
... and Tana-Beles is Tunnelled!
(MoFA)- Articles in Foreign Policy magazine carry a certain cachet. The magazine believes, no doubt correctly, that it has influence on Congressional deliberations and on administration policy makers. Inevitably there will be interest with an article beginning "The US Government needs to change its Somalia policy – and fast" ("In the Quick sands of Somalia", Bronwyn Bruton, Foreign Affairs Vol.88 no.6 November/December 2009). Interest becomes concern, however, when the argument is based on serious distortions and numerous inaccuracies.
Dr Yacob during his remorseful interview with reporter said the old and tired leaders of the opposition should yield power to the young and thoughtful. We wonder if he was thinking of EDP leaders who seem to be youthful and are for sure thoughtful. Old and tired does not realy hold water considering the clarity of purpose our elder president Girma W. Ghiorghis is demonstrating. At one time Dr Yacob and Ato Ledetu were in the same camp but the political savy Ledetu shunned Kinijit's destructive method of struggle very early thus joined the parliament. Dr Yacob seems to regret it and alas has finally surrender to peace and took a proactive action and disassoicated himself from Medrek.
ADDIS ABABA, Nov 12 (Reuters) - Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, who will represent Africa at next month's Copenhagen climate change talks, said on Thursday it was unlikely the world was serious about tackling global warming.
Dr Yacob Hailemariam of UDJ admits Kinjit as well as UDJ was/is lead by former EPRP, MEISON and ESPA members!
Little wonder then why Kinjit then and UDJ now have hard time to establish itself as a legal opposition with a mission.
Addis Ababa, November 10, 2009 (Addis Ababa) - Some 65 political parties that have been discussing on the election code of conduct guideline. The parties during the three-day discussion endorsed the document after presenting some 13 recommendations on the document.
Eng Hailu calling a spade a spade told the Reporter that he had enough with extermists in Diaspora! Amen to that!
ASMARA, Eritrea — In this lonely corner of the world, the first sign of distress is the luggage. When one of the few international flights that are still operating here touched down one recent afternoon,... The needs are acute in Eritrea , a narrow shard of sand and rock along the Red Sea that's presided over by one of Africa's most secretive regimes.
AEUP trains its members on the code of conduct and prepares for election 2002(EC). An organization with a postive outlook!
Medrek on the other hand has started the name calling game declaring all 65 political organizations that signed the code of conduct as pro EPRDF!
We wonder if Mederk is mimicking Diaspora extremist by failing to recognize the legal opposition in Ethiopia for who they are!
Others should follow Dr Yaocb!
Next Ethiopian Ambassador to US, not Who but What?
The train of renaissance, and enlightenment hijacked by vocal diaspora Ethiopian opposition?
Be part of this noble cause!

Crypto Asset Rating ICO Bewertung mit ausführlichen Informationen zu dem ICO Zeitraum, dem ICO Preis, akzeptierten Währungen, Soft & Hard Cap, ANSA Whitepaper, Crypto Asset Rating Team und mehr.
Crypto assets are an evolving asset class and ICOs as investment tool are in the infancy of its life cycle. The decision of where to obtain funding plays a crucial role for the early stages of a projects development. An Initial Coin Offering ("ICO") is a way for start-up companies to raise capital by selling tokens. ICOs are quickly revolutionizing the fund raising model and becoming a preferred model of fund raising among issuers vs. traditional methods like VC funding due to the rapid turnaround time and lower cost due to the lack of a middleman along with the direct reach to investors. But due to the same reasons, for an investor ICOs are high risk propositions as there are no trusted middlemen and time to take a call on a particular ICO is fairly limited.
In spite of this stage and nature of this class, there is already a huge interest among investors towards crypto assets due to the potential disruptive nature of the underlying technology and the related value unlocking in the near future.

Here I want to show some examples for laminate flooring cost estimates that will include all the expenses that may be included when you have laminate flooring installed. The examples I'm using may not be based on the exact amount you may need, but it may help you to get a rough estimate of what it may cost you.
I am aware that the costs of materials and labor can vary depending on where you live. A lot of folks don't have any idea as to what it will cost.
I will give examples that will show a ballpark figure that may be based on different amounts of flooring, installing it yourself, having it done by a flooring retailer or buying the flooring and hunting down a laminate installer yourself.
To know what it will cost to have laminate in these areas you will need to figure the amount needed first. Next you will need to address the base board or quarter round by measuring the walls to see the total length of these needed. Other factors to consider are, how many transitions?, underlayment?, installation labor cost?
Sub Total = 256 sq/ft Add an additional 10% (26 sq/ft) for waste and mistakes.
Of coarse the cost of laminate flooring can vary anywhere from .69 to 4.00 or more per square foot. Here are a few different scenarios for just the cost of the laminate.
In the diagram above there are measurements along every wall. All that needs to be done is to add all these together excluding all doorways to get the amount of base board or quarter you will need.
The total amount of base board or quarter needed will be 74 linear feet. This is the distance around every wall without the doorways.
It is a good idea to add extra in case of mistakes, and also to cut down on joints. I would add 8 feet in this case, making the total 82 feet.
In my area quarter round cost about .50 to .60 a foot at Home Depot or Lowes. This is a wood product which is primed and ready to paint.
82 X .60 = $ 49.20 Cost for quarter round.
Base board is more costly, it can cost from 1.00 up to 4.00 or more per foot. I have noticed that some of the big box stores will sell bundles of base board at substantially lower cost, 10 per bundle at 12 feet in length (this is at Lowes).
There are a lot of different underlayments on the market. They can range from .20 to 1.00 per square foot. You can get a pretty good underlayment for around .50 t .60 cents per square foot.
When ordering your underlayment you do not have to purchase extra as when ordering the flooring. For instance if you needed 941 feet of laminate including the waste, you would only need to order 900 feet of underlayment.
In our example you will need to order 300 square feet as most underlayments come in 100 foot rolls.

The happiness of family life and the happiness of self-realization in your favorite business are the eternal values that existed during the times of the Ottoman sultans and musketeer swords. True, what has become the norm in the modern world was once a rarity and a great success. Simon and Virginia Vouet worked side by side, helping each other in their work and at the same time enjoying family happiness – and this example is as beautiful as a short-lived one.
The fate and calling of Simon Vouhe lined up quite predictably. He was born in the family of the artist, and not simple, but close to the French royal court. His father, Laurent Vouet, gave Simon the necessary skills, and the further development of the boy's art predetermined his talent and passion for development. Already in adolescence, he independently and at a very high level carried out portraits to order.
Wandering, which he embarked on in 1611, became the determining factor in Vue art. First, as part of the retinue of the French embassy, he went to Constantinople to the court of the Ottoman sultan. The East brought to the artist impressions of beautiful fabrics of various shades and textures – and since then masterful draperies in paintings, "aesthetics of fabrics", will be the hallmarks of Vue's works. In 1612, Simon settled in Venice, where he studied the works of the masters of that time – Titian, Veronese, Tintoretto.
Two years later, the artist was in Rome, where he lived for more than ten years. There, Vouet worked in a style that would later be called "dark" —in the influence of Caravaggio's creative work on the Frenchman's work, with the figures typical of the latter on a darkened uniform background. In Rome, Vouet taught painting, taking a high post at the Academy of St. Luke, and it was in this city that he met his future wife, Virginia.
Virginia da Vezzo was born in 1606 in the city of Velletri, near Rome. And she was destined to live the simple life of an Italian of the XVII century, if the father, Pompeo da Vezzo, did not recognize in the girl a talent for drawing, as well as a penchant for art, a willingness to learn, which Virginia had shown since childhood. And because the whole family moved to Rome, where in the early twenties, a young artist staged a student to an experienced master, who turned out to be Simon Vue.
Apparently, Virginia was an interesting and extraordinary girl, she was distinguished not only by diligence, but also by artistic taste, she knew how to think brightly and lively, and led friendships with outstanding personalities of her time. Among them, the most prominent was Artemisia Gentileschi, an artist who became the first female member of the oldest European Academy of Fine Arts in Florence. Gentileschi's influence on the works of Virginia was also traced after the departure of Vezzo from Italy: works by the biblical story of Judith and Holofernes became outstanding works of both artists.
Virginia was given a rare honor for women of that time – membership in the Academy of St. Luke. In addition, the young artist was a model and assistant Vue, and after a while became his bride. In 1626, Simon and Virginia were married, and in 1627, on the orders of King Louis XIII, Vue returned to Paris. Virginia followed her husband.
In France, Vouet brought the style of Italian Baroque, which turned out to be very well received. Simon Vouet did very well – he painted the royal palaces, the residences of Cardinal Richelieu, and carried out orders to decorate the houses of noble Parisians. Virginia helped him in his work – as, incidentally, and vice versa – and often the paintings made, apparently, by his wife, after some involvement of her husband, were attributed to him. In addition, the style of work of the spouses was very similar. Art critics are convinced that the artist's contribution to the work of her famous spouse, as well as the proportion of her own works in the Vue heritage, were very significant.
Scientists can only build versions of what works really belong to the brush of Virginia. Her work recognizes with certainty the painting "Judith with the Head of Holofernes" in which the artist depicted herself, as well as, in the opinion of some art historians, "Danae". Virginia created miniature portraits that were popular at that time in Rome, painted on historical and mythological subjects.


"If I have just one sermon to preach to you, just one... it will be this one. Because in it, is every capacity of what God expects out of us."
Do you ever find yourself pondering about a time when you honestly ask yourself, "if everything God made has a purpose, then what could mine be?"
When we come to the end of ourselves, not Just mentally but completely, we come face to face with God and a greater reality is so profound! That is, knowing who we really are, our individual part in the redemptive plan of God and our predestined victory in Christ.
So, tell me. Why do you think God made you?
"The importance of finding out why you are here will determine where you are going for eternity."
...good news: "It's God's own truth, nothing could be plainer: God plays no favorites! It makes no difference who you are or where you're from—if you want God and are ready to do as he says, the door is open. The Message he sent to the children of Israel—that through Jesus Christ everything is being put together again—well, he's doing it everywhere, among everyone.
With this passage, we end this study. But before that, we would like to take this opportunity to invite you to come and worship the Lord our God and our Savior Jesus Christ with us. What a blessing this would be!
Yes, it is true. Our Church is open to everyone. Our dress is casual, our service is simple; we are few in our number but we are warm and we are a family—a part of an even greater family in God.
Come and bring along your love ones, bring your family, bring along your friends; come and bring along your open and willing heart.

Etixx-QuickStep have an enviable list of options for the first Monument of the year. Despite losing the talismanic Tom Boonen, they still head into Sunday's Milan-San Remo with former winner Mark Cavendish, world champion Michal Kwiatkowski and recent Strade Bianche winner Zdenek Stybar. Few other teams can match them in terms of options aside from perhaps BMC with Philippe Gilbert and Greg Van Avermaet to choose between.
Kwiatkowski: Rainbow jersey an asset, not a curse
Aldag: With Cavendish, Stybar and Kwiatkowski we have options for Milan-San Remo
Video: Stybar on his Classics ambitions and Strade Bianche win
inCycle: Cavendish on Milan-San Remo, the Tour de France and his appetite for success
With a string of top talent on their roster it's rare that Etixx-QuickStep enter a race without a plan B but it doesn't always work out. At last year's Tour of Flanders they went in with three leaders but failed to make the podium, however, a week later they reversed their fortunes as Niki Terpstra stormed away to win Paris-Roubaix.
So what it is this year? Is it a case of too many cook spoil the broth or can they use it to their advantage?

El 1.º Ejército () fue un nivel de mando de ejército de las fuerzas de tierra de Austria-Hungría durante la I Guerra Mundial. El ejército luchó en Galicia y la Polonia rusa en 1914-15 antes de ser brevemente disuelto en el verano de 1916. Poco después, fue recreado y enviado a luchar en la campaña rumana durante los siguientes dos años. El 1.º Ejército fue desmovilizado en abril de 1918 debido a sus fuertes pérdidas, tras la rendición de Rumania.

Historia

El 1.º Ejército fue formado en 1914 como parte de la movilización de Austria-Hungría tras su declaración de guerra a Serbia y Rusia, llevando a cabo los planes de preguerra para la formación de seis ejércitos de campo. Como todos los ejércitos de campo austrohúngaros, consistía de un cuartel general y varios cuerpos, junto con algunas unidades independientes. El 1.º Ejército fue puesto bajo el mando del General de Caballería Viktor Dankl von Krasnik y estaba compuesto del I, V y X Cuerpos, originales de Cracovia, Presburgo y Przemyśl, respectivamente. Bajo su mando, las unidades del 1.º Ejército lograron la primera victoria austrohúnara de la I Guerra Mundial durante la defensa de Galicia derrotando al 4.º Ejército ruso en la batalla de Krasnik el 23-25 de agosto de 1914. Sin embargo, debido a la situación crítica en otras partes del frente, Krasnik fue obligado a retirarse al sur junto al río Dunajec hacia el área del norte de Cracovia. Durante el invierno de 1914 el 1.º Ejército participó en la batalla del río Vístula en la Polonia rusa, alcanzando Ivangorod. En mayo de 1915, el General Krasnik fue transferido al frente italiano. Fue reemplazado por el general de Caballería Karl Kirchbach von Lauterbach durante un par de meses antes de que el mando del 1.º Ejército fuera dado al General de Artillería Paul Puhallo von Brlog. El 1.º Ejército no participó en la Ofensiva de Gorlice-Tarnów, permaneciendo en Volodymyr-Volynskyi durante ese tiempo.

Al final de esa operación el 1.º Ejército a las órdenes de Puhallo sitió las cabezas de puente en Sandomierz y Tarlo-Jozefow, asignado para ser parte del Grupo de Ejércitos Böhm-Ermolli durante la primera mitad de 1916. Fue transferido después a la región del río Bug y formó parte del Grupo de Ejércitos Linsingen, bajo el mando global de August von Mackensen, pero intervino poco hasta el fin de la Gran Retirada rusa, en cuyo punto las líneas de frente quedaron estáticas. En el verano de 1916, Puhallo y el 1.º Ejército fueron obligados a retirarse durante la Ofensiva Brusilov, y según el estado mayor,
"el antiguo 1.º Ejército se disolvió en el curso de los acontecimientos por motivos de conveniencia y poco a poco se dividió entre los ejércitos vecinos, por lo que el cuartel general se volvió superfluo y se disolvió." En agosto, sin embargo, el 1.º Ejército fue formado de nuevo, esta vez bajo el mando del General de Infantería Arthur Arz von Straussenburg. Rumania también entró en la guerra durante ese mes, y el 1.º Ejército reformado de Straussenburg logró resistir el asalto rumano en Transilvania el 28 de agosto, a pesar de su inferioridad numérica. Continuó luchando junto al 9.º Ejército alemán, así como con tropas búlgaras y otomanas, durante los siguientes meses ya que las Potencias Centrales entraron en la propia Rumania y ocuparon una gran porción de esta. Durante ese tiempo estuvo subordinado al Grupo de Ejércitos Archiduque Carlos. Cuando el archiduque se convirtió en el emperador Carlos I de Austria-Hungría en noviembre, designó a Straussenburg para reemplazar a Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf como jefe de estado mayor general.

Como resultado, el Coronel General Franz Rohr von Denta se convirtió en el nuevo comandante del 1.º Ejército en febrero de 1917. El ejército permaneció en Rumania por la mayor parte del año y participó en la lucha continua contra fuerzas rumanas, subordinado al Frente de Ejército Archiduque José, incluida la Tercera batalla de Oituz. Las acciones durante el verano de 1917 cerca de Oituz, encabezadas por el VIII Cuerpo, resultaron en significativas bajas para el 1.º Ejército austrohúngaro, para solo avanzar 2-6 kilómetros. En febrero de 1918 estuvo subordinado al Frente de Ejércitos Kövess. La bajas autrohúngaras fueron extremadamente elevadas en el frente oriental, y el 1.º Ejército, golpeado por las bajas, tuvo que ser disuelto el 15 de abril de 1918, ya que la conclusión del tratado de paz con Rumania era inminente.

Orden de batalla en formación
Con la movilización en agosto de 1914, el 1.º Ejército consistía de tres cuerpos, junto con tres divisiones y algunas unidades menores bajo el mando directo del cuartel general del ejército.

Orden de batalla en octubre de 1916
El 1.º Ejército consistía de las siguientes formaciones cuando estuvo en Rumania, a finales de octubre de 1916.
XXI Cuerpo
VI Cuerpo
Grupo Stein
71ª División de Infantería
1ª División de Caballería
8ª División Bávara de Reserva

Orden de batalla en la Tercera batalla de Oituz
Para julio de 1917, el 1.º Ejército en Rumania estaba compuesto como sigue:
Grupo Gerok
VIII Cuerpo
70ª División de Infantería
71ª División de Infantería
117ª División de Infantería Alemana
7ª División de Caballería
8ª División de Caballería
VI Cuerpo
Grupo Liposcék

Comandantes
El 1.º Ejército tuvo los siguientes comandantes hasta su desmovilización en 1918.

Jefes de Estado Mayor
El 1.º Ejército tuvo los siguientes jefes de estado mayor hasta su desmovilización en 1918.

After a very long hiatus, I am returning to this blog site to post. In large measure, this is part of a project to increase my written output. I have engaged a writing coach to help me overcome my most serious pathology — a lack of discipline. That is, I am capable of writing, but I do so only under the external discipline of a deadline. When submission deadlines are on the horizon, I can sequester myself in my office and write intensively for several days and be content with the outcome. The process is messy — literally, as I surround myself with open books, photocopies and open PDF files of journal articles, and scribbled notes that accumulated in the run-up to the writing event. And, of course, I cannot have two simultaneous writing projects ongoing. Two phenomena militate against switching between writing projects: the physical mess and the requisite processes of thinking, composing, reference-checking, and editing that overlap during the course of meeting a deadline. Neither the open reference materials nor the incomplete thoughts from one project can be put aside in favor of another. Thus, it is necessary to develop a personal discipline that enables a more fluid writing process.
I will introduce you to the coach's method as one of the themes of this blog in the coming weeks. At this juncture I will presage the presentation to say that an important element is the separation of thinking/composing from the act of writing. That is, one should develop the paragraphs that will be written at a particular point in time prior to the writing session. I will elaborate on this in the next few weeks as part of my devoirs.
As a second part of my training, I will also post short pieces from my current research projects. I will shuffle these in among the posts on writing as a way to practice the movement between projects. I will attempt to "think, then write" on a couple of these projects to see if I can overcome my pathological lack of discipline and my habits of confounding the different steps in writing and of burying my work space in open texts as some extravagant form of external memory.
The current projects involve the major thrust of my research on entrepreneurship: the phenomenon of collective entrepreneurship. I am participating on large projects funded by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA), the directorate of the USDA for competitive research grants. I am also interested in the cognitive and social processes that bring individuals or small firms together to entrée into collective entrepreneurial ventures. I will post on where these empirical and conceptual projects take me in the coming months as they unfold.

Q: How to open popup/new tab (target="_blank") and respect mobile (and desktop too)? I have some social sharing links to share a post. This has to be in a new popup/tab/window. You know, the box we all know to share something on FB etc.
For desktop a new tab isn' necessary, so I'm using this:

But now I was asking myself how to make it for mobile devices..
Maybe just a php script to detect if it's desktop, than use example above. If mobile, use <a target="_blank"?
Would this be the right way? Or do I need a mobile hook for the Facebook app for example?

A: How about trying:
javascript:open('http://domain.com', 'popup-example', 'height='+window.innerheight+',width='+window.innerwidth+'resizable=no')

This would open in a new browser window for desktop (popup) and a seperate tab for mobile?

A: You can not open a custom sized browser window on mobile devices. So you don't need a special solution to run your code in mobile devices.
