Young Texans Against Cancer of Dallas hosted it's 1st Annual Chili Cook-off for a Cure on Saturday, February 23, 2013. Let me just tell you... if you are between the ages of 25 and 35 this is a group you need to get involved with. The beautiful people turned out in full force for this event and it was a social scene! The cook-off was held at the Foundry Bar, capitalizing on venue's cool outdoor space which was perfect for cooking up some mean chili from teams comprised of YTAC supporters. Over 150 people enjoyed food and offerings from neighboring Chicken Scratch, live music from the Tanner Louis and the Aviators, and cold beer and other beverages to help extinguish the heat from the chili. Colleen Coyle (WFAA's weather gal) totally took credit for the beautiful sunny day and held court at a table of friends that included her boyfriend, American Idol's Tim Halperin. I was on a team of judges including Chef Tim Byres, Colleen Coyle and Crave DFW's Steven Doyle who got to sample all of the flavorful entries. Well, Steven was supposed to judge but he got caught up on a bus tour and missed all of the fun. Luckily, he showed up right as we were getting ready to announce the winners - because he was in possession of the gift cards that were awarded to the winners!

Judging this chili cook-off was a tough job... but someone had to eat it!


I lost my hearing during the Iraq war. I'm a retired solider and over the years, no hearing aids has served me better than SMART. Most hearing aids I bought for prices ranging from $1499 to $5000 lasted longer eight months. I've been using the Earcentric for close to 14 months and It's still working well. I only change the batteries once in a month. I will buy a pair for my mom during Christmas. It is also amazing that the company hasn't defaulted in making people happy. I see positive testimonies online like I saw when I placed my order last year.
Since my hearing loss is relegated to my one side, I paid a premium for an expensive hearing aid because I thought I had to. That model became outdated very quickly and the company wanted another $4000 for a new one that had the latest technology. I couldn't do it so I began to research online and see what I could find. I read through the reviews and found that MediNinja offered EarCentric hearing aids and that they were a top seller and rated very highly by current users. I ordered a pair of EarCentric Comfort hearing aids and tried them out right away. They sounded so much more clear and level than my expensive pair that I was glad I decided to wait and find a better solution. I am now 3 weeks into wearing them and I have gotten completely adjusted to the feel and the hearing quality. Maybe my old hearing aids would have sufficed and maybe the new $4000 pair would have been better than these, but it doesn't matter as I have found a pair that I love and that I am going to stick with forever. I am not sure if the MediNinja team reads through these reviews or not, but if they do, here is a big thank you for the quality service and excellent products that you guys provided for me.
on 02/03/2015 I returned my defective hearing aid. On 02/05/2015 I received a replacement aid. I cant begin to tell you how impressed I am with your service and customer support . From my phone call to your return call, your professionalism has been first class. I want to thank you very much for being an impressive American company.
I had a previous hearing aid which was fit to my ear. That hearing aid would not stay put in my ear and I finally lost it twice. The second time it was not able to be replaced. I read about EarCentric hearing aidss. I was given one and have been wearing it and enjoying the fact that I am able to hear better than the previous hearing aid. There is no comparison. It is outstanding and I recommend EarCentric hearing aidss to anyone who asks about my hearing aid. Thank you for making a great hearing aid for people to hear better than those expensive ones.
Easy return policy MediNinja's return policy was shockingly easy. I almost feel sorry I had to return to product.
Thanks for your support! Thought I should take the time to thank you for your help. You guys are really helpful!
I earlier thought the reviews I read about the product were all lies, however, I now find them to be true. With great doubts, I place an order. Seven day running and I'm loving what Joy is giving me. Kudos to EarCentric!
For the price, this is the best deal of the entire year. Nice sound!
Awesome support service and the delivery was on schedule. The device works great. I have nothing to complain about.
Don't put off your hearing - After putting it off for so long, I finally broke down and purchased a pair of TOUCH hearing aids from EarCentric. I don't know why I waited so long! These new hearing aids are comfortable, affordable and effective. I can hear so much more now and am not missing a single beat in every conversation I am a part of!
Speedy service. I returned my defective hearing aid on 11.03.2016, on the 5th I receive a replacement. Yes, you read that correctly, two days later! Super impressed by how quick and easy the whole process was. From my initial phone call to the moment I got my aids, the customer service was really top-notch. Thank you, thank you!
A MediNinja shopper for good now! Using the open ear tubes, I can hear so many sounds that I never even knew existed to me. My hearing is better and so is my outlook on life. No more spending almost $3000 per set of hearing aids; Happy MediNinja shopper!
YOU are doing a grand thing helping us poor people afford a hearing aid….keep on and God bless you.
For years I have put up with moderate hearing loss because I didn't think I could afford hearing aids. I saw an ad for MediNinja and that has changed my life forever. They offered high quality, affordable hearing aids that do what they are supposed to, help me hear better!
Very pleased with the item and the complete transaction.
Laurence was a helpful dude…so helpful and polite. When I had problems adjusting the hearing aids, she instructed me without delays. Thank you MediNinja deserves a standing ovation!
Already, I am liking my EarCentric hearing aid over anything else I have ever used. If you are looking for quality, value and superior customer service, look no further than MediNinja; they have the knowledge and experience to help you hear again. I love my hearing aids!
We can talk all day about the products a company sells or the brands that they carry, but it still doesn't make them a good company to do business with. For our family, the customer service and support are what reels us in. MediNinja has all of that and then some! We had to make a return, something the consumers of the world hate doing because it is always such a pain, but the customer support team at MediNinja handled it very well and made it one of the best experiences I have ever had with any business, online or in person! MediNinja really does care about their customers! Incredible Customer Care!
My mother started experiencing hearing loss a few years back and I soon found myself looking for good hearing aids. Comfort was actually an experiment to see if those would help her condition and they worked like a charm. These are simply the best. In fact we were so impressed that we decided to save some money and get her a JOY which is even better. The staff at MediNinja knows their stuff and help with everything they can. Thank you for all your kindness.
I am age 64 and have had hearing loss for over 20 years. I am an expert witness in litigated cases and found that I was having significant difficulty hearing the attorneys and judges, especially in large courtrooms. I bought two of these aids and they have prolonged my career. The price is the selling point, but the quality will impress you. Get these if you have hearing loss and do not want to spend the price of a good used car on aids. Cheers.
They truly care about the customer. Thanks very much for your help. I would also like pricing for the PRO hearing aids. I have been considering them for replacement. It's great to work with those who take care of customers.
My last hearing aid was a total misfit as per the shape and size of my ear and I finally lost them a month back. I came across MediNinja while looking for a better set of hearing Aids. I then saw that they deal in EarCentric. Now, people who do now know, EarCentric creates amazing products. They have excellent quality and great prices. Plus, MediNinja had great customer service reviews. I knew that I was going to buy my next hearing aids from here.
Unfortunately, the hearing aids that I ordered don't work for me. I have really bad tinnitus and I thought the FIT hearing aids would alleviate that but they did not. I was able to return them without any problems and am not dissatisfied in any way. I would still recommend MediNinja and EarCentric to anyone needing a quality hearing aid for their profound hearing loss issues.
I am hard to please but you did it! Kudos! I am a very tough customer to please but MediNinja has done it! When you combine their incredible customer service with their quality products, you have a winning combination. But them they throw on the lowest prices on Completely in the canal hearing aids, and they are a company on top of their game. When people ask me how I like my new hearing aids, I could talk for hours about the benefits: advanced voice detection, advanced noise reduction, adaptive directional microphone, the list goes on and on.
Keep on keeping on.Really grateful to have found an affordable hearing aid for poor folks like us…well, like me. God bless you.

Q: FileImage can't be assigned to parameter So I've trying to make multiple upload picture by having these:
_selectImage(ImagePicker().getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery), 1);
_selectImage(ImagePicker().getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery), 2);
_selectImage(ImagePicker().getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery), 3);

When method of this:
    void _selectImage(Future<PickedFile> image, int imageNumber) async{
    FileImage tempImg = (await image) as FileImage;
    switch(imageNumber){
      case 1: setState(() => _image1 = tempImg);
      break;

      case 2: setState(() => _image3 = tempImg);
      break;

      case 2: setState(() => _image3 = tempImg);
      break;
    }
  }

but it says 'FileImage' can't be assigned to parameter type 'File' at here:
    Widget _displayChild() {
    if (_image1 == null){
      return Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(15.0, 20.0, 15.0, 20.0),
        child: new Icon(Icons.add, color: grey,),

    }else{

        child: Image.file(_image1)
      );
    }
  }

Can any1 help? This newer version confuses me

A: It seems you maybe misunderstand the file that should be assigned so I took a few minutes to implement this into a quick main.dart file and get it working for you.
import 'dart:io';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:image_picker/image_picker.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(
    MaterialApp(
      home: MyWidget(),
    ),
  );
}

class MyWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyWidgetState createState() => _MyWidgetState();
}

class _MyWidgetState extends State<MyWidget> {
  File _image1;
  File _image2;
  File _image3;

  void _selectImage(int imageNumber) async {
    final PickedFile pickedFile = await ImagePicker().getImage(source: ImageSource.gallery);

    switch (imageNumber) {
      case 1:
        setState(() => _image1 = File(pickedFile.path));
        break;
      case 2:
        setState(() => _image3 = File(pickedFile.path));
        break;
      case 2:
        setState(() => _image3 = File(pickedFile.path));
        break;
    }
  }

  Widget _displayChild() {
    if (_image1 == null) {
      return RaisedButton(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(15.0, 20.0, 15.0, 20.0),
        child: new Icon(Icons.add, color: Colors.blue),
        onPressed: () => _selectImage(1),
      );
    } else {
      return Padding(
        padding: const EdgeInsets.fromLTRB(15.0, 20.0, 15.0, 20.0),
        child: Image.file(_image1),
      );
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            Text(
              'Build some widgets!',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
            ),
            _displayChild(),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

A: Loading an image from a file creates an in memory copy of the file, which is retained in the ImageCache. The underlying file is not monitored for changes. If it does change, the application should evict the entry from the ImageCache.

Recently, I returned from a research trip to Dhaka. I am currently writing a book about the people of that city and had interviewed garment workers about their lives and fears. I came home and was speaking to my mother about it when the subject of her earlier life as a machinist came up. And then she announced her revelation.
I grew up in Baxendale street Bethnal Green and lived with my family from the late 50,s until I married. My mother did piecework on her sewing machine in the kitchen. I remember sitting & helping turn out the coat ties as she sewed coat linings. She then took them to the factory along Bethnal Green road in our pushchair. She said that you wasn't a true machinist until the needle had gone through your finger nail – this always worried me.
Thanks for this Delwar. Brilliant. My mother had a singer machine that has vanished so I recently aquired a 1930s model from the local charity shop to remind me of her. The photographs are wonderful.

Indonesia VP Kalla reiterates that Indonesia does not need to apologise to neighbours over haze
Mr Kalla made similar remarks between 2005 and 2007 when he was vice-president to then President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.PHOTO: THE JAKARTA POST
Sep 25, 2015, 8:02 pm SGT
http://str.sg/Z2J3
NEW YORK - Indonesia's Vice-President Jusuf Kalla has reiterated that Indonesia need not apologise to neighbouring countries over haze from forest fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
Indonesia only needs to ensure forest fires that cause haze do not recur, he was quoted as saying on Indonesian news site kompas.com.
"Look at how long they have enjoyed fresh air from our green environment and forests when there were no fires. Could be months. Are they grateful? But when forest fires occur, a month at the most, haze pollutes their regions. So why should there be an apology?" he said during a dialogue session with Indonesians in New York at the Indonesian Consulate-General on Thursday.
He also claimed that companies from neighbouring countries are paying locals to clear lands using the slash-and-burn technique.
This was not the first time Mr Kalla has made such remarks. He made similar remarks between 2005 and 2007 when he was Vice-President to then President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono.
Jakarta to share names of culprits behind haze fires
Primary and secondary schools to reopen on Monday unless haze forecast deteriorates back to hazardous levels
On Sept 18 this year, he made the same point after meeting Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi at the vice-president's office.
Mr Kalla said forest fires and destruction were started by foreigners who needed land in the 1960s and 1970s.
They later collaborated with Indonesian entrepreneurs.
"They taught us to destroy forests. As a result, using development as an excuse, our forests were felled. Our peatlands were opened up. Wet peatlands dried up, making them easier to burn," he said, naming several foreign companies.
He said besides preventing forest fires from recurring, the government has also issued bans on logging and moratoriums on the use of land, including opening up lands for new plantations


Water is critical for socio-economic development, energy and food production, healthy ecosystems, and human survival. Although 2.6 billion people have gained access to improved drinking water since 1990, far too many people still lack access to safely managed water supplies. Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of people around the world, an alarming figure that is projected to increase because of drought, desertification and the rise of global temperatures as a result of climate change. By 2050, at least one in four people is projected to be affected by recurring water shortages.
Corruption hinders progress on ensuring availability and sustainable management of water. Many of the SDGs can only be met if the water sector is free from all forms of corruption. While the scope of corruption varies substantially across the sector and between different countries, estimates by the World Bank suggest that 20 to 40 percent of water sector finances are being lost to corrupt practices. A UNDP report highlights that key corruption risks in the water sector include collusion, contract variation and re-negotiation, bribery and embezzlement, elite capture, nepotism, and political mismanagement.
'Corporation Water' available for 4 hours a day, is the only source of water for the hundreds of families dwelling here. With so little supply and so many takers, fierce quarrels and fights are regular affairs.

In many contexts, women and girls carry the main responsibility for domestic water management. As such they are directly affected by lack of access to safe water for consumption and they lose time for productive or educational purposes due to the need to fetch water and care for sick family members. However, women also tend to be disadvantaged in decision-making related to public water management – from the community level to the national and international level. For example, women are underrepresented as professionals in water governance and management – only 7 percent of all ministers of water and natural resources are women.
Women, who make up the majority of the world's poor, are most often the main victims of corruption, disproportionately bearing the brunt of corrupt practices in the water sector.
According to Cap-Net and the Gender and Water Alliance 2014 report, women are often the victims of corruption risks such as petty bribery or sextortion in informal water networks, as they are typically expected in many developing countries to fetch water, cook, clean, wash and care for the sick. Moreover, the under-representation of women in water governance further impacts transparency, accountability and integrity in the water sector.
There is a need to adopt a gendered perspective to tackle corruption in the water sector, yet the link between anti-corruption, gender and water is not sufficiently researched and recognized. The development community should focus on the following priorities to bridge the three streams of work – water, anti-corruption, and gender.
First, focus should be placed on the governance approach to water sector management. Water reform programmes often tend to rely on management approaches to resolve major problems. Yet, unequal and unsustainable access to water is often attributed to corrupt practices, dishonesty, and malpractice. Tackling these issues requires an approach which strengthens oversight, transparency, ethical business values, and multi-stakeholder participation to improve service delivery and resource management.
Second, both anti-corruption and water management and governance strategies need to integrate the gender perspective. Removing structural barriers to women's economic empowerment; preventing and responding to gender-based violence; and promoting women's participation and leadership in all forms of decision-making could contribute effectively to both water governance and preventing corruption in the water sector. For example, a project in the Philippines shows how women's empowerment, voice and accountability are linked to improved service delivery in the water sector.
Third, research is needed on how to better mainstream gender and anti-corruption in water governance. Gender analyses, gender-disaggregated data and gender-specific research will help understand the links between anti-corruption, gender and the water sector. Research on how corruption manifests itself in the water sector, including the disproportionate impact of corruption on women and girls, such as health and security risks related to water fetching, can shed light into the forms and scope of corruption in the water sector. Research is also needed on how to better mainstream gender and anti-corruption in water governance.
Fourth, new technologies provide solutions in tackling corruption in the water sector from a gendered perspective. For example, satellite-based monitoring capabilities, which have already been used to map out water scarcity and other problems, could allow us to track movement of daily activity in water fetching, which could serve as an innovative way of collecting gendered indicators.
Given that the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is world's first comprehensive blueprint for sustainable development, synergies should be built between Goal 5 'Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls', Goal 6 'Clean water and sanitation' and Goal 16 'Peace, justice and strong institutions', by fostering greater synergies. In UNDP, we are trying to bring together all three streams of work together so that both gender and anti-corruption are an integral part of water governance and management strategies. The development community, however, needs to do more to provide concrete policy and programming guidance to address the 'missing middle" problem – the links between water integrity, gender and corruption.

The Athens festival is big celebration, which continues the active presence for 56 consecutive summers, which have shown some of the most famous names of the theater, music, dance, the field of music is Mitropoulos and Callas, Sain-Saens and Rostropovits, Pavarotti, Leonidas Kabakos and Dimitris Sgouros, Theodorakis, Chatzidakis,Savopoulos, Protopsalti, Ntalara and Marinella. From the theater, Rodiris and Kun, Streler, Peter Hall, the Theater No, even the Peking Opera.
Above all, it is a spiritual adventure, which has undergone many variations, often associated with the recent history of the country. The last few years, has become youthful momentum and an unprecedented outward-looking action.
The festival has a long history, which has its roots in the early ' 50s.In 1955 it was decided to hold a feast Art in Athens by then Minister for Presidency, George exploded on Petrou Ralli Avenue. To achieve this objective was invited by the United States of America the troupe director Ntinos Giannopoulos, who organised the festival based on its own criteria. The theme for the festival was the music and the theater. Office of the feast was established in Kerkyra \"the Herod Atticus Theater.
The Athens festival, throughout the duration of the route, compared with European standards. Reflected the work of Greek artists and its relationship with the rest of the world. When it was dominated by the Greek, triumph stinginess is the zoferos eparchiotismos.Therefore means from peddling, from bold ventures and painful concessions was the greek culture.
Times cosmopolitanism
The festival was put together with a focus on the Irodio trying to connect the historical memory with the events of this. The objective was to emerge as an institution hosting aspects of the art of high, in direct relation to the major cultural events which have occurred in the West,which remain a mystery to our country.
The two main lines of action was the presence of large orchestras and the simultaneous effort to revive the theatrical repertoire of classical antiquity with a contemporary view and perspective. Because of the catalytic presence of Mitropoulos, in the field of music have been torn down many stereotypes and highlighted
new data. Moreover invitations were extended known assemblies,prominent soloists and paid effort for the emergence of Greek authors, such as Skalkotas.
The general test of the Epidaurus Festival was the "Ippolitos of Euripides" directed by Dimitris Rontiri,in 1954. The official opening took place in 1955 with the "Ekavi" directed by Alexis Minotis.Epidaurus competed artists drawing and so is artistic confrontation. For twenty years the state theater participate exclusively.
The pomp of Rontiri, members of the ballroom, to express their collective conscience, executing uniform movements and singing the chorika collectively.When criticized for adopting \"German culture\", the Rontiris replied that source of inspiration was the death dirges and the byzantine music. Alexis Minotis broke an-in his statement; the \"allegiance to the German Sprechchor\" and the uniformity of motion.
Despite the variations adopted by the respective directors, was a single tone. Gifted actors (Katina Paxinou, Μινωτής) and new tragodi (Συνοδινού etc. ) have highlighted and back me up in this classical aesthetic line of National Theater. The part of plastic arts sign director Kleovoulos Kleonis with the architectural volumes and who come within its Antonis Fokas,with the famous were crinkling of's lifejackets wearing actors and dancers.
From the Argolikos theater could not be absent and the top of lyric theater Maria Callas, which interpreted the norm of Bellini (1960) and the "Midia"of Κeroubini (1961).
In 1957 the Theater of Poliklitou welcomed the "Aristophanes". The style of performances of Attica comedy came from the director Alexis salmon and scene director George Vakalo.The style elements included new classical elegance, drawing scene in aesthetics group with the suits, elements of the vessels, the figurines and the Athenian apokria, lively but harmonized with the space, color.

2,3-Dibromopropan-1-ol was used as an intermediate to produce the flame retardant tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate. In the past, it was detected in the urine of children wearing nightwear treated with tris(2,3-dibromopropyl) phosphate. It is still produced for use in the manufacture of other chemicals (possibly flame retardants, insecticides and pharmaceuticals).
2,3-Dibromopropan-1-ol was tested by skin application in one experiment in mice and in one experiment in rats. In mice, it produced tumours of the skin at the site of application and forestomach in both males and females and tumours of the liver in males. In rats, it produced tumours of the skin at the site of application and of the digestive tract including the mouth, oesophagus, forestomach and intestines, nasal mucosa and Zymbal gland in both males and females, and tumours of the liver, mammary gland and clitoral gland in females.
Two mercapturic acid metabolites of 2,3-dibromopropan-1-ol have been identified in the urine of treated rats.
Application of 2,3-dibromopropan-1-ol to the skin of rats and mice for 13 weeks caused kidney lesions in male rats, liver lesions in female rats and liver and lung lesions in both male and female mice.
2,3-Dibromopropan-1-ol was mutagenic in bacterial assays both in the presence and absence of exogenous metabolic systems. It gave positive results in a mammalian cell mutagenesis assay and induced sister chromatid exchanges and chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary cells. It was mutagenic in Drosophila melanogaster. It was inactive in an in-vivo bone-marrow micronucleus assay in male mice.
No epidemiological data relevant to the carcinogenicity of 2,3-dibromopropan-1-ol were available.
There is sufficient evidence in experimental animals for the carcinogenicity of 2,3-dibromopropan-1-ol.
2,3-Dibromopropan-1-ol is possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).

INSPIRATION - STORIES
From Prison to the Dean's List: Shawn's Story
For decades, Shawn's struggles with addiction and a lack of direction kept him in a cycle of institutions and out-of-control living. A new mindset and healthy community helped him make significant changes and begin pursuing education and other dreams which would have been previously impossible.
A New Perspective Led to a New Beginning
"Just do the next right thing."
After years of living for whatever felt right in the moment, and experiencing in chaos in life, this simple thought has brought structure and connection to my life. Jails, institutions, selling drugs, and living out-of-control were what I knew. But, recovery has brought a lot of change. I recently completed my associate's degree, with a 3.92 GPA, and am pursuing a career in information technology (I.T.). Getting the letter that I had reached the Dean's List in my program brought a tear to my eye, because it would have seemed impossible just a few years earlier.
People have told me throughout my life that I was smart, that I could do more with my life than what I was doing. But I never believed them. I thought they were just blowing smoke. Now that I've set a new direction, and am excelling, I'm seeing that what they said was true. I'm doing things I didn't know I could that are so different from where I've been before. When I got out of prison after a couple years inside, I had no place to go, and no family to turn to. But I went back to school after prison, and now I'm building a new life.
Addiction Was What I Knew
My name is Shawn. I am the third-generation only child of a single parent. My mother worked two jobs to put a roof over our heads, but that meant that she was barely around. I had to cook, clean, and get to school on time on my own. I was also able to do whatever I wanted and make whatever choices I wished. I started experimenting with drugs and alcohol when I was young. Soon, I was barely attending classes and school became a distant priority. Because I was disruptive, the school I attended suggested I drop out or be expelled. At the time, I saw it as an opportunity to be free, but I didn't realize how deep I was in.
Related: From Heroin Addict to Entrepreneur, Hunter, and Father: Ryan's Story
My mother spent her savings account to try and help me and I went into a lock-down treatment center. I was sober for a bit, but I soon went in a different direction. The more that I was pushed to do the right thing, the farther away I ran. I had legal troubles and ended up in a group home. This pattern of trouble, brief sobriety, addiction, and detention has been a pattern in my life, from the age of sixteen until recent years. I had a job for most of these years, because working was wired into me, but I was still addicted, and the income from the job is what helped fund and enable my addiction. Being in and out of sobriety, I got involved with support groups and other environments, but it was never really the right fit. I found myself using even in the midst of those environments. I couldn't put down the pill. When I received my sixth DWI, and saw the flashing lights, there was a strange sense of relief, because I wanted to get out of my life at the time.
A Turning Point
I ended up in prison, but I decided that it was time to do something different. I made the choice to obtain my high school degree while incarcerated, remembering how people would encourage me to apply myself, and that I could be anyone I wanted to be. So, I gave that idea a chance and let go of the reigns of control. It wasn't just seeking my degree; I changed how I engaged with life.
After prison, and achieving my high school degree, it was not any transition. I arrived at a halfway house alone and afraid. I had lost everything. But I chose to trust the process, build relationships, and live with brutal honesty for myself and others, no matter the preconceived outcome. It was do-or-die time, and I wanted to live! I learned the phrase "do the next right thing" and it constantly reminds me to continue forward at all costs. Pursuing college at 49 years old was one of those 'next right things'. I found people in the environment and community in which I lived with whom I could connect, and they helped me through the transition times.
Pursuing a Dream of Education
The first week of classes for my associate's degree, I felt fear, anxiety, and immense doubt. I was completely terrified that I would fail, and some of my ADHD and anxiety issues got stirred up, too. However, by putting all my effort and concentration forward, I pushed on and life became better. I formed new routines around my studies and before I knew it, the semester was over. I found myself succeeding in difficult courses that actually caused others to struggle, and my confidence grew.
In this process, I've realized that I can accomplish things I didn't think were possible, and that seemed out of reach because of my childhood and my previous choices and addiction. Recently, along with making the Dean's List, I received an award and prize funded by Fox Valley Technical College Foundation and Community First Credit Union for students at my college who have overcome adversity. A friend encouraged me to apply and share my story, and it moved me and the others involved in the process to be able to recount the growth and how things have changed. I was just featured by Microsoft for my successful transformation into a productive member of society, too.
Today, I have strong relationships and people that I can call when I have a challenging day, which happens from time to time. After struggling to find connection within the recovery environments I first tried, I found a place that worked for me, and still keep in touch with counselors and other staff. My educational pursuits helped me get an internship in I.T., and I am pursuing a career in that field. What was a major hurdle became the starting point of a whole new life, because I chose to buckle down.

When we think of the Hollywood A-List, we're inclined to think of actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor before thinking of an actress like, say, Lassie.
(Well, make that actor — through the years, Lassie has actually always been played by a male dog, since male rough collies are typically larger and have fuller coats than females.)
Despite the fact that human stars usually get top billing, animals often play major parts in the success of films and TV shows — after all, what would "Mr. Ed" have been without its talking Palomino? "The Thin Man" without Asta the wire fox terrier? "National Velvet" without spirited racehorse The Pie? Nothing, that's what.
Sometimes animal actors even influence the humans they work with — actor James Cromwell has said that "I did 'Babe' and I became an animal activist." (Cromwell, a longtime vegetarian, decided to become a vegan after working with animals on the movie, which featured a smart and feisty pig who herded sheep.)
The animals on the Walk of Fame are decidedly heroic ones; one of them, Strongheart, even had a real-life record of service with the German Red Cross during World War I before he joined the ranks of the Hollywood elite. Why aren't Mr. Ed, Asta and The Pie included? Well, one assumes they're just not noble enough. It's tough to be an animal, huh?

Tateni Community Centre hosted a two days program at the University of Pretoria, Mamelodi Campus. The program started on Thursday and finished on Friday.
The purpose of the workshop was to gather all the youth of Mamelodi together and find issues hindering them from pursuing their dreams.
"We are here because we want to break the circle of poverty and see how we can help the youth, we created groups so is convenient for them as leaders to travel and attend the meetings", said Kegomoditswe Mosiane, Youth Development Manager.
Most of the youth were in need of job opportunities, funds for their businesses and to further their studies. Issues that Tateni picked up from the program were, funding for local businesses, access to information, knowledge about career choices, mentors and support through their journey.
The youth development team is looking forward to have meetings and engage more with the youth.

Q: Submit form on change of dropdown only when special value is selected I have a dropdown list with a few options (e.g. 7). The form should be submitted when one of the last 3 options is selected. On the first 4 options the form should not be submitted.
onChange="this.form.submit()" does not help - the form will be submitted on every change...
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot in advance
Hias

A: Do...
onchange="checkVal();"
Then in your JS make the function...
function checkVal{
    var e = document.getElementById("FORMID");
    var selectedVal = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
    if (selectedVal == val4 || selectedVal == val5 || selectedVal == val6){
         e.submit();
    }
}

This will work if you have your options set up with values <option val="4">number 4</option> If not you have to use .text instead of .value to get the selectedVal and then compare the text inside the options

A: It's simple check the value of select element if it's what you want then tell form to submit itself.
Demo of this: http://jsfiddle.net/Q6FUM/
var f = document.forms['mf'], s= document.getElementById('ss');

s.onchange = function() {
    if (s.value==3) f.submit();
}

A: Thanks a lot. It works with this code:
function checkVal() {
  var f = document.getElementById("FORM-ID");
  var e = document.getElementById("SELECT-ID");
  var selectedVal = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
  if (selectedVal > 4) {
    f.submit();
  }
}

The power of propensity: Understanding this measure's role in your marketing efforts

How marketers can prepare for the rise of 'hyperpersonalisation'
If you've ever noticed an email from a brand addressed directly to you or based on your prior purchases, then you'll be familiar with marketing personalisation. This was an early broad approach, and we have seen personalisation evolve as organisations have brought new types of data into the mix, including contextual and location specific information, followed by analytics and machine learning for more real-time customer data.
This one-to-one approach was cited as having the power to enhance brand...

Money matters: How sharing financial metrics and KPIs builds stronger teams
The all-hands meeting is a staple of businesses for sharing important financial information and progress. Smaller companies typically bring staff together on a fairly regular basis. Larger organizations may sync up several offices at a time or hold an annual company-wide conference. There's good reason why these meetings haven't fallen out of fashion – they get everyone on the same page.

Personalising leather with custom lettering, engraving, designs, lines, edges, borders, colours and other types of treatments is quite popular for items such as belts, boots and jackets. But, leather is commonly worked or tooled for many other applications ranging from books to tabletops and beyond. Because well tended leather is durable, and available from sustainable resources, it is often a good choice for quality items designed to endure over time.
Select a top grain leather appropriate to your project. Tooling is done on the smooth face of the leather. Make sure your leather does not have a finish applied to it before you buy it.
Cut your leather to the size and shape you want using leather shears. Keep in mind that tooling the leather will cause some expansion or spread and that keeping the leather wet during tooling will mean that the leather will shrink as it dries. It is good to keep a sample of your finished size drawn on scrap paper so you can check your progress to see if your leather is growing or shrinking too much as you work.
Lay your leather flat. Place carbon paper carbon side down over the leather. Position your pattern so that it fits the leather and trace your design onto the leather. Remove the papers.
Punch holes using a leather punch or chisel. Use a leather mallet to strike the chisels or tools as metal hammers will drive the chisel too hard.
Soak your leather for 20 to 30 minutes. Pull the leather out of the water before it becomes too "fleshy." Each leather type is different so keep a close eye. If you overwater your leather, allow it to dry to the right soft leathery texture before tooling.
Engrave using engraving tools. Place the tool along the line you wish to indent. Hold the tool level to the leather and tamp the end with a leather mallet. Tooling leather is a skill that develops with practice, you do not want to strike too deep and leave small cuts and you do not want to strike too shallow and have some of the pattern on the metal engraving tool not show up on the leather.
Keep your leather moist while you work by adding water with a sponge. You will soon have a feel for how much is the right consistency to produce the engraved look you want. Use various stamps and shapes to form your designs. Use a stylus to draw lines.
Rub your work smooth with a leather burnisher when you are finished. These are metal or wood tools with smooth edges that allow you to rub (as if polishing) along areas to smooth out the look. Burnishing helps engraved work last longer.
Apply dyes, colours, treatments and finishes once you are certain that all tooling is finished.

I created the above acronym based on my observations of people-in many situations.
As you might guess this blog is based on ego.
Now don't start thinking uh oh, whats wrong with my ego? Nothing unless it gets in your own way. Now I am not the smartest person on the planet ( by far) but through many observations throughout my life I can tell you with a high probability of being correct....EVERY person on this planet has an ego!!!
There are questions though to be asked; What type of ego do you have? Does your ego get in the way? and Is your ego based in a global reality or just your own? The answer to all those questions is ...YES?!
According to Webster's "ego is the opinion you have about yourself: ego is a part of the mind that senses and adapts to the real world". According to Google-"ego is a person's sense of self-esteem or self-improvements". My favorite is from the Urban dictionary-"ego is the part of you that defines itself as a personality, separates itself from the outside world and considers itself (you) a separate entity from the rest of nature and the cosmos. Perhaps necessary for survival in some evolution bygone, in modern times it leads only to ( albeit often disguised) misanthropic beliefs and delusion".
So in summation ego helps to sense and adapt to the "real" world; it is a sense of self esteem; and creates misanthropic and delusional states...mmmmm?
So to the questions above...yes we have an ego-loud,quiet,outgoing, meek, over the top and everything in between. For the most part people tend to keep it in balance. And life goes along pretty well. There are some people that need reminders that the world does not revolve around them( to their disbelief of course).
Yes our egos get in our way- all the time! Why, because we want to be right; we want to be heard; we have the answer; we know; we don't want to be wrong; we have to be better than the "Jones's", because ,because, because.
There is a global reality-it might be in your family, your community, your job, a team, etc.-global can be looked at in many ways. When we start believing we are bigger than "our" global that is when ego gets in the way. That is when ERRONEOUS GAGE OF SELF kicks in and that is when things tend to unravel quickly!
So take a look at your ego-it's ok, it won't bite. Own it...it is yours after all. It can work for you or against you....your choice.

1 oz 2013 Canadian Wood Bison Silver Coin | Toned and Spotted
This is the third two ounce silver coin in the Queen's Beasts series issued by Britain's Royal Mint. The coin features a dragon, which has symbolized Wales since 829 A.D.
Queen Elizabeth II's coronation in 1953 was watched over by 10 heraldic beasts, created to represent the various branches of royal genealogy over the centuries. The dragon represents sovereignty and power, and was first used in the Royal Arms in the 16th century. The shield the dragon is holding displays a lion in each quarter, as on the coat of arms of Llywelyn the Last, the last native Prince of Wales.
The coin is exceptionally thick, as the diameter is the same as a one ounce coin. Unusually, both sides were executed by Jody Clark, an engraver at the Royal Mint. His effigy of the Queen is the only fifth to have graced British coins since 1953.
The coin you receive may be tarnished or in used condition.

Nowadays people cultivate all sorts of crops in our over cultivated environment. They disregard the needs of crops, and often disrespect the laws of nature. These facts lead to deficiencies, which result into a great number of plagues and diseases among, not only animals and plants, but also human beings. Moreover, as a result of deficiencies of these essential nutrients, organisms are no longer able to fully develop themselves.
