Philosophiae Doctor - PhDBy presenting case studies from the village of Mahenye in Zimbabwe and the five villages of the Okavango Community Trust in Botswana, the study looks beyond the objectives, discourse and contests of policy and undertakes an investigation of what actions rural people are undertaking inside the institutions established by policy makers, and of governance outcomes at the local level. These case studies reveal that unfettered devolution can lead to elite capture and the perpetuation of poverty; that rural communities themselves have agency and the ability to exercise it; and that there is limited and shrinking political space in both countries which is reducing opportunities for rural communities to engage with political processes. The Botswana case studies demonstrates that an imported and imposed devolutionary initiative which lacks links to higher levels of governance can reduce political space at local levels. The Zimbabwe case study demonstrates that political space may be more effectively created through decentralisation. The lesson drawn from these case studies is that institutional arrangements and roles should be determined by context specific issues and circumstances and move beyond the structural determinism that has characterized much of the CBNRM debate to date. The study concludes with policy recommendations. These include the need for recognition of the synergy between CBNRM and democratisation as mutually reinforcing processes and the need to be context-specific.South Afric

Defraud debit order, Agent that Lies Nicole, I spoke to an Agent Nicole today and she said that my contact will be R285 monthly and R99 once off. To my surprise debit order request is R570 which I never agreed to. This girl lies so much that she even gave me her cell phone number to ensure that it's a legit deal. I declined the debit order request and send her a message to call me. She answered my questions and request from the chat and immediately deletes her responses. This girl has no work ethic and display that there is no honestly or integrity about your company. I hope this will serve as my termination. I have no desire to receive a phone from u

I will preface this review by stating that this item was available only in one size at my local retailer. they have a section of dresses mostly offered online that are in store for you to touch, see, try on and order through the store (which is much appreciated). i am normally a size 0-2/xs in retailer clothes and i will typically order a petite when available. the option my store had to try on was a regular medium which is what i have pictured here. i mostly wanted to try it on just to get a fee

### # What You Need to Know About Real Estate Social Media Marketing Packages ! The real estate market has changed considerably over the last two decades, as have most businesses since the rise of social media platforms and digital marketing strategies. Studies from the National Association of Realtors have shown that social platforms and marketing strategies are becoming increasingly integral to landing clients across the real estate space. And this is a trend that’s been forecast to continue and strengthen over time. The fact is, if you’re in business, you need to be on social media, and this is especially critical within the real estate market. In today’s business world, as related to real estate, research has shown that an estimated 99 percent of Millennials along with over 90 percent of Boomers and Gen-Xers all begin their real estate search online in some form. This is a huge pool of potential clients that all real estate brokers and realtors want to tap into. If you’re looking into real estate social media marketing packages, the following guide will give you a comprehensive overview of what these packages contain, and the benefits associated with each component. ## What Exactly is a Social Media Marketing Package? Social media marketing packages vary, but all generally include bundled services for marketing a particular business across social media channels. Initially, a consultation is required to better understand your business goals, and which services will benefit you the most. A standard social media package generally includes building and maintaining social media profiles and might include a select list of deliverables, along with special services. Some special services might include: * Accessing data collected by social media analysts * Account set up * Account optimization * Consultations * Weekly or monthly reporting * Management of accounts A quality real estate package for social media will have all of your needs met, plus, the ability to deliver real-time data and allow you to meet your monthly and quarterly business goals. ## Why Use Social Media for Real Estate? Social media has become a platform for everyone. Whether you want to stay in touch with friends and family, air your grievances, share your life with the world, or sell within a specific marketplace, social media has all the tools you need. As such, with a broad user base, landing potential clients through crafted content built for social media has become an effective marketing strategy in recent years. Perhaps the most effective platforms to consider for real estate marketing are LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook, with the latter being the most prevalent. ### Facebook As a platform, Facebook is a literal giant. With 2.89 billion monthly users as of 2021, Facebook is the largest social network in the world. The vastness of this network is what allows businesses to tap into any potential customer pool across the digital landscape. Along with this, Facebook’s user demographics clearly show the target audience that people like you in the real estate business are trying to reach. Additionally, Facebook’s features make it simple to navigate, post content, curate reviews, share listings, book appointments, and correspond with clients all from one platform. And for any realtor, you can also utilize Facebook ads, which allows you to target users who have shown interest or have searched for properties within your specific area. All in all, Facebook is where your potential clients are most likely hanging out. And you’ll want to use this platform and all the tools it comes along with to your advantage. ### Instagram Though Instagram is now owned by Facebook, the platform itself still holds a good bit of originality. Let’s face it, Instagram is where the younger user base is, and this user base also comprises a large percentage of first-time home buyers. You can utilize Instagram to your advantage to establish yourself as THE top realtor for first-time home buyers. We use images more and more in our lives, and people are drawn to images and infographics on social media. As such, Instagram is the perfect place for click funnels that correspond to a beautiful image of a home you might be trying to sell or rent. Instagram also has the “story” feature, which is much like Facebook. Using this, a realtor can give daily updates to any property listing along with images and links to landing pages for additional information. With Instagram, it’s more about consistent content and less about interaction and customer engagement as with Facebook, but by utilizing both tools, you can reach deep into the hidden vault of customers that you might not be seeing in other areas. ### LinkedIn While LinkedIn isn’t the most popular social platform for sharing content with a potential customer base, it is the most popular social platform to showcase your professional credentials. Yes, you can also share content via LinkedIn as well using LinkedIn Publisher, but the number of users viewing content on this site is much smaller than with Instagram or Facebook. Regardless, any realtor or real estate broker should have a presence on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is more of a professional resume site where you can share your relevant experience, education, background, personal philosophy, and any reviews you might have from past clients. In addition, the content you share on LinkedIn can be used to link to other sites as well, such as your other social profiles, your company website, or any other relevant sales materials that you might have. At the end of the day, LinkedIn acts as your online business card, and this gives potential customers a little glimpse of who you are before they decide to work with you. So, ensure that all of your information is polished, accurate, and up to date if you want to take full advantage of this network. ## Customized Strategy Each business has unique goals, especially realtors and brokers in the real estate space. As such, you want to develop a customized strategy rather than be led by some one-size-fits-all approach that some marketing agencies might try to set you up with. With a personalized campaign, your real estate business will be set up for success and be able to target the demographics that will bring you the best results, according to your sales goals. In addition to ad campaigns and remarketing efforts, you’ll be better positioned to attract clients and track the actions of previous clients. Each strategy must be customized to suit individual sales goals. With this in mind, if you’re only interested in sharing monthly listings, your marketing package would be a cinch. If, however, you wish to pull in clients and specifically target a customer base, your package might be customized with data analysis and other tools which will benefit your needs. Working with a marketing management team will ensure that your real estate social media marketing package is tailored to suit you specifically, instead of going down the “trial-by-error” road. ## How to Customize Your Social Media Package Prior to customizing your marketing package, you should be clear about your goals and answer a few questions that are specific to your space in the real estate market. The reason for this is that there are so many options to include in each package, and you’ll want to select only the features that will benefit you the most. The following list includes proactive steps that will give you greater insight into what you’ll want to have included for your real estate social media marketing strategy: * Create a detailed checklist of what you want your social media strategy to produce * Decide your monthly spending budget on social media marketing * Select specific social media platforms that you want to advertise on * Research your target audience to find out where they spend their time online * Mind-map your advertising goals as related to social media * Dedicate time to selecting imagery that best displays your business The clearer you are about your monthly and quarterly business goals, the easier it will be for you to move through the details of a social media marketing package. This gives both you and your marketing team a succinct plan to go by and keep in mind that this can always be modified or augmented along the way if need be. ## Benefits of a Social Media Marketing Package Social media marketing and management offers a busy real estate professional to better utilize time and resources. Simply put, if you’re in the real estate business, you’re a busy individual. You likely don’t have a surplus of time at your disposal that you can use for marketing efforts beyond the occasional post on social media. With a marketing team and a package in place, your efforts will be better utilized doing what you do best: actively selling real estate on your own time. Additionally, marketing professionals do what they do best: market your business and bring you more clients. Believe it or not, many real estate professionals decide to try to market their own properties, and this is usually a path that leads to more time wasted. As a real estate professional, you’re naturally good at selling. But a marketing professional is naturally good at engaging and bringing clients to you. And, that’s where you’ll take the lead. Allowing the professionals to do their job will free up your time, and give you more opportunity to develop personal relationships with clients, reach out to colleagues, and search your area for new or up-and-coming properties that you’d want to acquire and sell. ## Examples of a Typical Social Media Package Keep in mind that each social media package will be tailored to suit your specific needs within the real estate space, according to your business goals, your demographic data, and the region in which you operate. If you’re looking for a starter package, and you wish to target the three main social media platforms that are the most beneficial to real estate professionals, i.e., Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, the following would be ideal: * 45 posts per month divided over 3 platforms * 15 boosted posts (5 per platform) * 15-20 custom images per month * Daily comment monitoring * Daily engagement * Monthly consultation * Monthly reporting * Select deliverables (contests and the like) Though this is simply an example of a basic package, it covers most of the bases that a larger, comprehensive package normally would. As you develop your business strategy with your marketing team, you’ll be able to further customize your package to only include what works best for your overall strategy. ## Advertising Packages An advertising package is generally included in an overall social media marketing package. And these can also be customized to suit your specific needs. For example, for one social profile, you might have the following ad package: * 4 custom ads * 2 advertising campaigns * 4 monthly advertising modifications * Included weekly consultations For multiple social profiles, you’ll want to multiply the number of ads. So, for three social profiles, you might want a package that includes 12 custom ads. But, keep in mind that you can also start small and see how far only a few targeted ads and campaigns get you each month. You have to remember that the social media landscape is always changing, and events going on around the world and here at home have a lot to do with the behavior of local markets, and with a user’s online behavior as well. For example, you might find that during certain parts of the year your ads do fairly well, and they might remain consistent at bringing in clients for some time. But, during an election year, many users have their attention on political matters, and the engagement you receive during times such as these could change considerably. All in all, there are several moving parts to an ad campaign. Not only does setting up the ad require crunching data, but it also requires promoting it amid a host of other online distractions. ## Why Does Social Media Marketing Work? We’ve entered the generation of brand awareness. With this as a factor, we all have to tailor our professional efforts down to the most minute details. Social media marketing works by giving a personality to your brand. As a real estate professional, your brand is what a buyer will associate when he or she thinks of you and contemplates using your services to buy a home. In this busy world, with distractions at every glance, it’s becoming difficult to gain any attention at all. As such, it becomes a vital necessity to enlist the expertise of marketing professionals and use them to your advantage when it comes to social media marketing. Social media requires engagement and consistency, and this is something that is hard to come by when you’re a busy professional. Social media marketing works because it employs those who understand the space and how to mine the attention that you need in order to become successful. ### Going Forward Once you’ve had time to do some preliminary research on your target market and draft a strategy, you’ll then be well-equipped to go select a proper-fitting real estate social media marketing package that will be tailored to suit your every need. Social media helps you develop brand awareness. And brand awareness helps you establish a name for yourself in the real estate space. Because without a presence online, you’ll basically be reduced to tools from the ancient past. Even if the ancient past worked well for real estate professionals of a time gone by, today, you have to have engagement across all digital spaces, no matter which industry you’re in if you want to succeed in the competitive real estate marketplace.  can help you with your real estate social media marketing.  to learn more! * Home * How It Works * Pricing * Samples * FAQ * Blog Copyright © 2019 – 2023 Social Espresso.

Note 10 - Commitments, Contingencies, and Concentrations Contingencies Certain conditions may exist as of the date the consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company's management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company's legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein. If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company's consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, would be disclosed. On September 4, 2019, the Company recorded a pre-acquisition liability for approximately $591,000 relative to unpaid payroll tax liabilities and associated penalties and fees of Concepts and Solutions (Note 12). The liability is included in the note payable to seller of $1,030,079 at June 30, 2020 (Note 6). On August 14, 2020, the Company entered into a legal settlement agreement and recorded a liability for $2,000,000 related to a lawsuit by a previous creditor of Galaxy CO (Note 1). The $2,000,000 liability is included in the balance sheet at June 30, 2020. Concentrations Galaxy contracts the manufacturer of its products with overseas suppliers. The Company's sales could be adversely impacted by a supplier's inability to provide Galaxy with an adequate supply of inventory. Galaxy has three customers that accounted for approximately 79% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2020 and one customer that accounted for approximately 86% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2019. Galaxy has two customers that accounted for approximately 40% of total revenue for the year ended June 30, 2020 and four customers that accounted for 79% of revenues for the year ended June 30, 2019.

If you go on the TED website, you can currently find there over a full week of TEDTalk videos, over 1.3 million words of transcripts and millions of user ratings. And that's a huge amount of data. And it got me wondering: If you took all this data and put it through statistical analysis, could you reverse engineer a TEDTalk? Could you create the ultimate TEDTalk? (Laughter) (Applause) And also, could you create the worst possible TEDTalk that they would still let you get away with? To find this out, I looked at three things: I looked at the topic that you should choose, I looked at how you should deliver it and the visuals onstage. Now, with the topic: There's a whole range of topics you can choose, but you should choose wisely, because your topic strongly correlates with how users will react to your talk. Now, to make this more concrete, let's look at the list of top 10 words that statistically stick out in the most favorite TEDTalks and in the least favorite TEDTalks. So if you came here to talk about how French coffee will spread happiness in our brains, that's a go. (Laughter) (Applause) Whereas, if you wanted to talk about your project involving oxygen, girls, aircraft -- actually, I would like to hear that talk, (Laughter) but statistics say it's not so good. Oh, well. If you generalize this, the most favorite TEDTalks are those that feature topics we can connect with, both easily and deeply, such as happiness, our own body, food, emotions. And the more technical topics, such as architecture, materials and, strangely enough, men, those are not good topics to talk about. How should you deliver your talk? TED is famous for keeping a very sharp eye on the clock, so they're going to hate me for revealing this, because, actually, you should talk as long as they will let you. (Laughter) Because the most favorite TEDTalks are, on average, over 50 percent longer than the least favorite ones. And this holds true for all ranking lists on TED.com except if you want to have a talk that's beautiful, inspiring or funny. Then, you should be brief. (Laughter) But other than that, talk until they drag you off the stage. (Laughter) Now, while ... (Applause) While you're pushing the clock, there's a few rules to obey. I found these rules out by comparing the statistics of four-word phrases that appear more often in the most favorite TEDTalks as opposed to the least favorite TEDTalks. I'll give you three examples. First of all, I must, as a speaker, provide a service to the audience and talk about what I will give you, instead of saying what I can't have. Secondly, it's imperative that you do not cite The New York Times. (Laughter) And finally, it's okay for the speaker -- that's the good news -- to fake intellectual capacity. If I don't understand something, I can just say, "etc., etc." You'll all stay with me. It's perfectly fine. (Applause) Now, let's go to the visuals. The most obvious visual thing on stage is the speaker. And analysis shows if you want to be among the most favorite TED speakers, you should let your hair grow a little bit longer than average, make sure you wear your glasses and be slightly more dressed-up than the average TED speaker. Slides are okay, though you might consider going for props. And now the most important thing, that is the mood onstage. Color plays a very important role. Color closely correlates with the ratings that talks get on the website. (Applause) For example, fascinating talks contain a statistically high amount of exactly this blue color, (Laughter) much more than the average TEDTalk. Ingenious TEDTalks, much more this green color, etc., et. (Laughter) (Applause) Now, personally, I think I'm not the first one who has done this analysis, but I'll leave this to your good judgment. So, now it's time to put it all together and design the ultimate TEDTalk. Now, since this is TEDActive, and I learned from my analysis that I should actually give you something, I will not impose the ultimate or worst TEDTalk on you, but rather give you a tool to create your own. And I call this tool the TEDPad. (Laughter) And the TEDPad is a matrix of 100 specifically selected, highly curated sentences that you can easily piece together to get your own TEDTalk. You only have to make one decision, and that is: Are you going to use the white version for very good TEDTalks, about creativity, human genius? Or are you going to go with a black version, which will allow you to create really bad TEDTalks, mostly about blogs, politics and stuff? So, download it and have fun with it. Now I hope you enjoy the session. I hope you enjoy designing your own ultimate and worst possible TEDTalks. And I hope some of you will be inspired for next year to create this, which I really want to see. Thank you very much. (Applause) Thanks.

Franchise businesses are popular both in practice and, as a result, in academic study. In particular, much research has been devoted to franchise business survivability. This thesis discovers and examines key determinants that have influences on franchise business survivability in Indonesian franchise businesses in the restaurant and retail sectors. \ud This research produces a franchise business survivability model that is based on previous research and theories. The researcher performs confirmatory factor analysis structural equation modelling (CFA-SEM) to test and analyse the relationships between the five key determinants which are: trust; commitment; dispute risk management; relationship satisfaction; and franchise business survivability.\ud Based on the empirical analysis, the research reveals that trust and commitment as key determinants do not have significant influences on relationship satisfaction. The other key determinant, dispute risk management, has a significant influence on relationship satisfaction. This research also reveals that relationship satisfaction has significant influence on franchise business survivability. This study made a contribution to knowledge by building a salient model of key determinants to enhance business survivability within the context of Indonesian franchise businesses in the restaurant and retail sectors. Furthermore, this thesis also closes some gaps in previous research into franchise business survivability.\ud Another unique contribution made by this research is that the author looked at the issue of survivability from both perspectives of franchisors and franchisees, whilst previous research has predominantly performed analysis from the perspective of only one of the partners in franchise business arrangements. Therefore, it provides a holistic analysis on key determinants that have influences in enhancing franchise business survivability in the Indonesian restaurant and retail sectors

Most of that money has conditions on it. for example you could donate 10 billion to Harvard with a condition that all the money be spent on bird seed. people would only see that Harvard now has a 10 billion dollar endowment and wonder why they're not building new buildings are hiring new staff.

The purpose of this context statement is to investigate those factors which either contributed towards or impeded delivery of key recommendations from the Fraud Review, Attorney General (2006). These public works comprise three independent but intrinsically linked projects; the National Fraud Reporting Centre (NFRC), National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) and the Economic Crime Academy (ECA). Critical analysis shows how the success of each project influenced and contributed directly to the next project. Examination is made of how, without vision and the continuity of leadership, these public works would either not exist today or would have failed to be as successful as they are. Reflection upon this, together with analyses of individual and organisational leadership styles, stimulated two unavoidable and fundamental questions to be raised: What does the Police Service now stand for? Is the current model of police leadership fit for purpose? Critical analysis of the role of police leadership in the delivery of these public works led to a further, specific question: Is the police response to fraud appropriate? This is because police responses to fraud often appear to be in conflict with Peelian Principles, ACPO (2012) and are more biased towards serving the criminal justice system rather than delivering social justice through interventions that are morally and ethically grounded. On commencement of this context statement the intention was for it to be read by like-minded leaders and visionaries, those who do not fit the norm or stereotype of a typical police manager; as the context statement evolved so too has the intended readership. Throughout reflective assessment and consideration of police leadership and today’s performance culture, it became increasingly apparent that this subject should be core reading for police leaders of the future. However, on completion of the context statement, it is apparent that readership audience should extend beyond the Police Service and the policy makers within government and the Ministry of Justice. The real audience should be the public we serve, those with whose consent we police. Therefore, it seems logical that public should be the ultimate critical assessors of this contribution, together with the effectiveness and appropriateness of the current and ongoing culture of police leadership and the response to fraud

Title: Design of a dual sensor probe array for internal field measurement in Versatile Experiment Spherical Torus. Abstract: A dual sensor probe array is designed and constructed for internal magnetic field measurement at Versatile Experiment Spherical Torus (VEST) at the Seoul National University. Simultaneous use of Hall sensors and chip inductors allows cross-calibration among the measurements and compensation for each other's weaknesses while their small sizes are expected to cause only mild plasma perturbations. Calibration of the dual sensor probe array, using a Helmholtz coil, shows good sensitivity for the magnetic field measurement of the VEST. Prior to Ohmic start-up, the magnetic field structure inside the vacuum chamber is measured by using the calibrated probe array. The dual sensor probe array is expected to be useful in analyzing the temporal magnetic field structure change during the magnetic reconnection and in reconstruction of the current profile during the discharge of the VEST device.

I watched this dress for quite awhile and when it went on sale ordered it. i'm very happy with the purchase. it's swingy and fun, looks great with tall boots too. i said it runs true to size but i bet the size smaller would have been great too just because it is a bit of a looser fit.

When i first saw this in the retailer catalog, i thought it was beautiful. i am a sucker for floral prints, and unique color combinations, both of which this top has. i'm 5'3", 120 lbs and a small bust at 32b, i usually wear a size 2 but it was a little loose all around so i'd say it runs big. they had the size 2 at a low sale price in my local store so i bought it without hesitation. it's a little loose but very flattering and very good quality, i definitely recommend it if your shape is s

Cecil John Rhodes is on record as saying he had only met two creators in South Africa, one being himself and the other James Douglas Logan. The orchestrator of the 190I South African cricket tour to England, J.D. Logan was born in Reston, Scotland on November 26, 1857. The son of a Borders Railwayman, Logan had emigrated to South Africa where, with an entrepreneurial mind, he quickly made his fortune within South Africa's burgeoning colonial society. Affectionately referred to by the South African press as the 'Laird of Matjiesfontein', after the small Karoo town he had developed, Logan's deep affection for cricket undoubtedly helped to popularise the game in South Africa. An important figure culturally as well as politically, Logan's life and contribution to the game is the focus ofthis socio-historical study. In order to explore the processes and events that shaped South African cricket between 1888 and 1910, a wealth of original data was collected from archives in the United Kingdom and South Africa predominantly. A range of secondary sources were also used. The study examines the links between the development of the 'empire game' in South Africa and the social and political environment of the time, with particular reference to the role of James Logan. In many respects, Logan's involvement in politics and the early cricket tours reflected wider processes at work in South Africa's colonial society. This pugnacious Scotsman epitomised the process of cultural imperialism forged between Britain and Her far-flung colonies. His is a story of sport, politics and opportunity and is a distinctive contribution to any history of cricket and colonialism in late nineteenth century South Africa

Title: Fluorometric beam profiling of UV MALDI lasers. Abstract: The photon distribution (beam profile) of the laser as projected onto the sample is an important variable in matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS). Measurement of the beam profile is, therefore, an important factor within MALDI-MS. In this study a simple, low-cost fluorometric laser beam profiling technique is presented and applied in conjunction with MALDI-MS experiments. A comparison of the beam profile information afforded by a commercial system and the fluorometric method is carried out to determine the variation of beam profile for an Nd:YVO4 laser operated between 1 and 25 kHz. The beam profile information can be used, in conjunction with corresponding ion yields, to inform MALDI-MS experiments. The fluorometric beam profiling technique is used to obtain information about the beam dimensions as incident upon the MALDI-MS sample plate in-source. These values are compared with equivalent information obtained from ablation of thin film α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA). In this study, area estimation by ablation provided a value 1.6 times smaller than that obtained by the fluorometric method, demonstrating the need for caution when measuring beam profile and, therefore, fluence, in MALDI-MS. ᅟ

The REAL Cure for Cancer This was worth it just to watch you mimick an MRI! This is an intriguing topic. I appreciate your looking into this. I would be careful of "free" trials of products. You make money from content and they make money off the product. Thus, you're paid indirectly from supporting products, whether the company pays you or not. That being said, as long as you make it clear that they came to you with an offer, it does make it somewhat understood. Where I find the line is crossed is when the whole program is about a product (e.g. "news" story) and it isn't obvious that it is merely an ad. As long as you do your due diligence and determine that it is more than a sham, then you're doing a service to your viewers.

To help offset these consequences brought about by unsafe working conditions or another’s neglect, among other causes, injured workers or family members of wrongfully killed workers may seek compensation through a claim or lawsuit. At Brown Trial Firm, PLLC, our experienced know the ins and outs of the law to protect the rights of our clients.

Right after an accident, insurance companies may contact an injured worker. If possible, your lawyer may be able to speak to insurance companies on your behalf so as to relieve you of some stress and preserve the scope of your case should you choose to . It is not out of the ordinary for some insurance companies to offer injured workers much lower settlement amounts than the worker may need to offset the severity of damages suffered. Insurance companies may also try to delay, manipulate, or deny a rightful claim. ## What About Texas Workers’ Comp? Although workers’ compensation may be applicable and helpful for some workplace accidents, the compensation offered may not come close to what an injured worker actually needs. In addition, there may be multiple parties responsible for the workplace injury, illness, or death, in which having a Texas on the job injury lawyer on your side may make a world of difference in your case outcome. ## Getting the Money You Deserve The cost of recovering from injuries and/or illnesses that occur while at work can be extremely high. When negligence or oversight causes a worker harm, those responsible may be held accountable not only to help offset the expenses a worker must now deal with, but also to prevent other workers from similar harm. Compensation may be awarded for medical expenses; loss of past and future income and benefits; pain and suffering; loss of consortium; emotional distress; and other damages. Because workplace accidents often do not only affect the worker, but also his or her family, legal action can bring much relief and closure so that a fresh start can help a person or their family to rebuild. ## A Texas On the Job Injury Law Firm Up to the Challenge As has been practicing law for over 25 years , our clients are provided with excellent guidance and representation.

Another disappointed visit. I am starting to think this isn't a fluke and PB has lost it's magic touch. We went for my wife's birthday around 4pm on a Wednesday. We actually walked right in and sat down. We were both shocked as the least amount of time we have ever waited was well over 3 hours. The staff was more attentive on where we sat than giving us a genuine greeting even though the place was empty except two other tables. We put in our order for a margherita with prosciutto, a wise guy, and a caprese salad. The bread came out cold with some oil to dip it in. I can't remember if it was always cold but it would be nice if they threw it in the oven for 30 seconds before they serve it to you. Next our pizzas came out and the margherita was missing the prosciutto. Not a big deal. Maybe he didn't hear me, maybe the cook didn't hear him? My wife confirms I did request it and I'm not losing my mind. The pizzas were good but lacking the usual special touch. The crust was the best part which is not unusual but what was unusual was the rest was very lack luster. Even though the shop was dead our waiter never came back to us and was back behind the bar laughing and chatting with other staff members. Finally a blonde woman asks if we would like our bill. She brings it to us and when I give her my card I gently advise her they forgot my prosciutto and it's on the bill. Another guy brings the bill back for me to sign. The 6 dollar prosciutto is still on it. I inform him that there was no prosciutto and I told the other woman but it's still here. I don't know if she thought I was just making small talk or what but I sure am not paying 6 bones for some sliced ham that wasn't even on my pizza. He took care of it. Here's the deal. I don't know if it's because I didn't wait 3-5 hours to eat or if it's just falling apart without Chef Bianco but PB has definitely lost it's way and is quickly losing the legacy he created whether they want to acknowledge it or not. I used to think the staff was short and slightly rude because of how busy it was and dealing with upset starving customers brings them down but now I know that is not the case. They are just not good at what they do and have been there getting away with it for too long. Just because PB is famous and Chef Bianco is world renown doesn't mean you are. The dough is good enough to come back for but there is simply no way I would ever wait in line to eat here again. If you read my previous review you will see I am not a PB hater and actually was a huge advocate. I guess all good things really do come to an end.

A person’s relationship with their caregiving team can give them the confidence they need to re-engage with their world and the activities they used to love! ### Comfortable At Home In-home caregivers allow families to keep their loved ones comfortable at home around their family, friends, pets, and familiar personal items. Beginning with a free in-home assessment, our team takes the time to ensure your home is as safe as possible before we start caregiving in the home. ### Companionship Social isolation and loneliness can take a toll on individuals' overall health and quality of life. Regardless of the specific conditions your loved one needs help with, caregivers provide both emotional and social support along the way. From striking up a friendly conversation and sharing stories to pulling out puzzles and exploring favorite hobbies,  and maybe brings more smiles. ### Personal Care A large part of 24-hour care is helping your loved one with necessary personal care activities. This can include bathing, dressing, and light housekeeping. Your , helping them preserve as much of their independence as possible. ### Family Caregiver Respite Caregiving can be hard, especially when it's not your only responsibility in life. 24/7  help your family get a well-deserved break to rest, relax, and recharge. ### Peace of Mind for Family Having around-the-clock home care for your loved one offers peace of mind knowing they have support for daily tasks, as well as continued support in case there’s ever an emergency. It also provides a person with dignity by enabling them to safely do what they’d like to do, when they’d like to do it. ## How Much Does 24-Hour Home Care Cost? On average, based on our experience, the cost of 24-hour care at home can range from around $10,000 to $22,000 a month, with the exact cost depending on several factors, including: * **Medical or non-medical care –** The cost changes depending on the type of care needed. For example, if **more acute**medical care is needed in-home, it will be more expensive. * **Where care is needed –** The state in which you live can alter the cost of your in-home care quite a bit. It's best to to learn more about their current pricing. While this may seem overwhelming, Homewatch CareGivers is here to help you make the best decision for your loved one's health – don't hesitate to reach out to us with any questions. ## Explore Our Financial Options & Program The financial cost of 24-hour care isn't everything when looking for care for your loved one. Still, it's important to understand the options you have when it comes to paying for care, especially when private insurance or paying out of pocket isn't going to cover it all. ### VA Aid & Attendance Benefits Seniors and survivors eligible for VA assistance may qualify for . These benefits are received along with their VA pension to help with covering in-home care. Veterans are entitled to this additional benefit if they meet one or more of the following qualifications: * You need like bathing, dressing, and grooming. * You spend a large portion of the day in bed due to a chronic condition or illness. * You have limited eyesight even when glasses are used. You are a patient in a nursing home due to mental or physical loss. #### Long-Term Care Insurance Long-term care insurance covers 24-hour care in the home most of the time, including help with daily tasks and companionship. In some cases, it can even help cover any modifications needed to make the home safer and more functional. #### Medicare Medicare is federally provided health insurance for those 65 and older. The exact things covered by Medicare continue to evolve, with most plans only covering medical in-home care. Still, some Medicare Advantage plans currently cover select in-home care services in some states. To be eligible, your loved one must be prescribed at-home care from a physician and receive it through a Medicare-approved agency. **Medicare Advantage** As part of the Supplemental Benefits portion, a limited number of plans may cover some home care services. #### Medicaid Medicaid provides federal assistance to people 65 or older in need. While Medicaid is a great way to offset some of the cost of 24-hour in-home care, it is usually not enough to cover the entire cost of care. To understand the current coverage options, be sure to refer to your state's current Medicaid guidelines. #### Emergency Back-Up Care More than 70% of employed people report being responsible for some kind of caregiving at home. Because of how important consistent care is, it's best to have an emergency backup care option if your regular plans fall through. Our team will be there to provide caregiving help so you can attend to your other responsibilities. ## Signs it is Time for A 24-Hour Caregiver at Home When it comes to getting care for your loved one, it's better to get things started sooner rather than later. It can be difficult to admit when a parent, spouse, or loved one needs extra help around the home, but doing so early helps with the transition into professional in-home care. **Indications that it's time to look for a 24-hour caregiver include:** ### Increased Number in Falls or Accidents Has your loved one fallen recently? Was someone there to help? Frequent falls or accidents can signify that 24-hour in-home care is needed. Caregivers help your loved one get around in and out of the home and provide extra support to minimize the risk of accidents. ### Incontinence Incontinence and bladder control issues signify that in-home care could be beneficial. A professional caregiver can help maintain a regular bathroom schedule and assist with clean-up and changing and report any concerns to the family. ### Wandering Wandering is a common symptom of dementia or Alzheimer’s disease, and it can be life-threatening when not monitored. A caregiver can help prepare your home to protect someone from danger if they are wandering and provide around-the-clock monitoring for a loved one. ### Increased Confusion or Forgetfulness Along with an increased chance to wander, your loved one dealing with dementia or some other issue may be exhibiting increased confusion or forgetfulness. While this can be as simple as forgetting birthdays or names, it can also include forgetting to lock the front door or shut off a faucet. A caregiver can be there 24/7 to address problems that arise from this type of forgetfulness and confusion. ### Recently Diagnosed with a Serious Illness or Chronic Condition Receiving a severe illness or chronic condition diagnosis can be overwhelming and even hard to accept. A local Homewatch CareGivers team of professional and compassionate caregivers is here to oversee a comprehensive care plan. ### Reliance on Assistive Equipment Assistive equipment like hearing aids, walkers, wheelchairs, scooters, and others can be a great way to help your loved one keep their independence. Increased reliance on assistive equipment may mean that more help is needed, perhaps from an at-home caregiver. ### A Decline in Hygiene and Grooming Have you noticed a decline in personal hygiene, grooming, or general cleanliness? Whether your loved one may be forgetting to do these everyday things or has a hard time completing them on their own, our caregivers are the perfect helping hand needed to ensure your loved one is taking care of themselves. ### Needs Assistance Eating or Drinking If you have noticed food or drink spills around the home, if your loved one's diet has declined, or if new medical conditions have developed, your loved one may need some additional help eating and drinking. Our team can assist in eating during meal times, meal planning, and cooking, making the entire process easier. ### Primary Caregiver Cannot Sustain Caregiving Around the Clock The mental health and well-being of primary caregivers can often go overlooked. While you may feel like you can handle it, at some point, you’ll need to eat, drink, shower, use the restroom, and attend to many other responsibilities. . ## What's the Difference Between 24-Hour Care and Live-In Care? While both provide around-the-clock care, the main difference is how many caregivers are used daily. 24-hour care is delivered to clients via a minimum of two caregivers every day. Each shift lasts around eight to twelve hours with routine breaks. Live-in care instead relies on just one caregiver or a maximum of two. This requires a caregiver to live with your loved one on the property. It's important to note that one is not necessarily better than the other. The best care for your family depends on the specific needs of your loved one and the type of coverage your family is looking for. ### End-of-Life Home Care Services help ensure that your loved one's final years, months, and days are spent as comfortably as possible. Death is a natural yet difficult part of our life cycle. Homewatch CareGivers can provide respite care services while also maintaining a relationship with the client and their family during a challenging time. ## Why Choose Homewatch CareGivers for 24/7 Home Care When you choose Homewatch CareGivers for your in-home care needs, you're receiving help from the best.

Would you use an artificial womb? (I would) I love this whole artificial wombs stuff, I think it would be a better way to bring back extinct animals since we could have more control in the process, as apposed to trying to use a already existing animal, like an elephant to try and clone a mammoth.

Surprisingly good service from Telkom I know Telkom gets terrible reviews but I am one of the few that have received good service. I cancelled my Telkom ADSL by following the steps given on the website. I immediately received a reference number by sms, followed by further sms' when the cancellation took place the following month as promised. When I received the final account I had an outstanding credit balance. I tried to phone 10210 but couldn't get to speak to an agent, so put in a request for a call-back on the website. I got a call-back the same day, gave the details, received a reference number and the refund was paid into my bank account within two days. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones but I appreciate the good service I received.

Title: Monte Carlo investigation of the increased radiation deposition due to gold nanoparticles using kilovoltage and megavoltage photons in a 3D randomized cell model. Abstract: Investigation of increased radiation dose deposition due to gold nanoparticles (GNPs) using a 3D computational cell model during x-ray radiotherapy. Two GNP simulation scenarios were set up in Geant4; a single 400 nm diameter gold cluster randomly positioned in the cytoplasm and a 300 nm gold layer around the nucleus of the cell. Using an 80 kVp photon beam, the effect of GNP on the dose deposition in five modeled regions of the cell including cytoplasm, membrane, and nucleus was simulated. Two Geant4 physics lists were tested: the default Livermore and custom built Livermore/DNA hybrid physics list. 10(6) particles were simulated at 840 cells in the simulation. Each cell was randomly placed with random orientation and a diameter varying between 9 and 13 μm. A mathematical algorithm was used to ensure that none of the 840 cells overlapped. The energy dependence of the GNP physical dose enhancement effect was calculated by simulating the dose deposition in the cells with two energy spectra of 80 kVp and 6 MV. The contribution from Auger electrons was investigated by comparing the two GNP simulation scenarios while activating and deactivating atomic de-excitation processes in Geant4. The physical dose enhancement ratio (DER) of GNP was calculated using the Monte Carlo model. The model has demonstrated that the DER depends on the amount of gold and the position of the gold cluster within the cell. Individual cell regions experienced statistically significant (p < 0.05) change in absorbed dose (DER between 1 and 10) depending on the type of gold geometry used. The DER resulting from gold clusters attached to the cell nucleus had the more significant effect of the two cases (DER ≈ 55). The DER value calculated at 6 MV was shown to be at least an order of magnitude smaller than the DER values calculated for the 80 kVp spectrum. Based on simulations, when 80 kVp photons are used, Auger electrons have a statistically insignificant (p < 0.05) effect on the overall dose increase in the cell. The low energy of the Auger electrons produced prevents them from propagating more than 250-500 nm from the gold cluster and, therefore, has a negligible effect on the overall dose increase due to GNP. The results presented in the current work show that the primary dose enhancement is due to the production of additional photoelectrons.

What is a Black Hole? - Stephen Hawking's final theory So, black holes compress information and stores the compressed info as a soft layer of low energy photons!!? So does that implies that somehow we can recreate the object which fell into the black hole if we could harvest the "compressed photons" ?? This is what happens when a guy with no actual deep physics knowledge watches stuff like these!!😂

I’ve noticed in embedded systems, C compilers are primarily used. People often claim this is because a C++ compiler would be too big, the language has more features.Does this mean that C++ is inherently limited with underpowered hardware. Or even that concepts like OOP make use of virtual tables and other memory overheads. Or is it simply because a C++ compiler is more difficult to implement for a specific architecture, so why bother when C is enough for system programming, etc.

This dress is absolutely charming. i could not find the petite size, so i went with the 0 regular. it was too, too large for me. felt more like a size 4. i am 5'2" and 112 pounds, thought the 0 would fit. the fabric is soft, the style charming and it is easy to fold and take on a trip- it didn't wrinkle in the package it was shipped in.

Gravitational Waves Discovered for the First Time! Well I agree that physics should always be explored and tested. The LIGO lab to me has always struck me as a ginormous waste of money and time. It's a lab meant to prove a theory that we already trust with a test that has no practical applications. To me it flys in the face of what science means to me. Science to me is a means to solve our problems, which we have no shortage of today, I think that time and money could have been better spent

I'm making the transition from a 2015 mac to a new M1 as my dev environment. I'm simultaneously pulling a long-needed upgrade on all my production web apps from much earlier versions of Typescript (2.x > 4), PHP (5.x > 7.4), and MySQL (5.7 > 8). All updates I had held back because my dev environment had gotten too mangled to attempt any upgrades on the old machine. (Try replacing homebrew under 10.11 without wrecking everything that's working). So that's a lot of code to manage. Mostly it's okay. But the hardest thing for me is... changing my IDE.I've been using Eclipse since at least Helios (2010)... that's the oldest one on my last machine. Same project setups ported from version to version. But the AArch version of Eclipse is not stable, and doesn't even launch on my machine. And I've admired (from a distance, next to colleagues) the lovely contours of VS Code for a lot of years. So I just spent the last two days building a VS Code environment (uh, a single multi-root workspace with a lot of tsconfig files and tasks) while fixing a bazillion typescript and PHP warnings. Okay. So I got all that done. Finally zero compiler problems.Now my problem is, I can't see code. I think I've gone code-blind. I can look at my old laptop showing a page of typescript in Eclipse, and I know exactly what I'm looking at. I can see through the code, see what it does. I look at the same thing in VS Code and all I see is colors. I tried light mode. I tried Github theme. I tried my old fonts. I tried Courier New. Everything burns my eyes. I literally can't see the significance of the code; I feel like I'm looking at some ancient codex in a foreign language. Like the Rosetta Stone. Again, exact same code in my super basic light theme in Eclipse is entirely readable. Maybe it's the tab lines in VS Code? Or the shaded syntax highlighting? Too much visual information?I don't know if anyone else has experienced this when changing editors. It's disturbing. I actually feel like I'm losing my mind (or like someone who's suffered a traumatic brain injury, I've lost the part of my brain that I rely on to infer meaning from symbols). Perhaps it's just the fear of a major change, or a break with the past. I'm hoping that after a few days it'll pass. I certainly never loved Eclipse...I used to use f.lux a lot to change my screen to red-on-black only, at night. This was a fine way to code, but slightly more challenging. Maybe it's all the colors that are screwing me up, I just need monochrome.I'd love to hear anyone's take on transitioning IDEs and whether it's worth it to try to adjust your brain, theme-wise and color-wise. I never realized I'd gotten so attached to the visual part of moving through code. It shouldn't be that way, but I guess it is.

11) Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings From time to time, we are party to certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these events cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect these matters to have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. Following are currently pending legal matters: Water Rights Litigation Mt. Emmons Project On July 25, 2008, we filed an Application for Finding of Reasonable Diligence with the Colorado Water Court ("Water Diligence Application") concerning the conditional water rights associated with the Mt. Emmons Project (Case No. 2008CW81). The conditional water decree ("Decree") required the Company to file its proposed plan of operations and associated permits with the Forest Service and BLM within six years of entry of the Decree, or within six years of the final determination of the pending patent application, whichever occurred later. The BLM issued the mineral patents on April 2, 2004. Although the issuance of the patents was appealed, on April 30, 2007, the United States Supreme Court made a final determination (by denial of certiorari) upholding BLM's issuance of the mineral patents. The Company filed a plan of operations on March 31, 2010. On April 20, 2015, the Colorado Water Court entered a decree granting the Water Diligence Application. The decree continues the conditional water rights for a six-year period and requires the Company to submit a new Application for Finding of Reasonable Diligence in April 2021 if the water rights have not been applied to a beneficial use by that time. Quiet Title Action Dimmit County, TX On October 4, 2013, Dimmit Wood Properties, Ltd. ("Dimmit") filed a quiet title, breach of contract, and trespass action against Chesapeake Exploration, LLC ("Chesapeake"), Crimson Exploration Operating, Inc. ("Crimson"), EXCO Operating Company, LP, OOGC America, Inc., Energy One and Liberty Energy, LLC ("Liberty") (jointly referred to as

Sensory Processing Disorder Solutions for Your Child #### ‘Ohana Occupational Therapy 1139 N. Princeton Suite B, Wenatchee, WA 98801 P: 509.888.7435 | F: 509.888.7674 + - You are here: / / ‘Ohana OT’s Roots, a Tribute to Mary’s Father # ‘Ohana OT’s Roots, a Tribute to Mary’s Father June 14, 2022 By In honor of Father’s Day today, I want you all to know how my own Dad has influenced me. If my Dad was still alive today, he would be so excited about ‘Ohana OT and all the incredible things we get to do and all the progress the kids are experiencing! There would be no ‘Ohana OT without the huge impact my parents and younger sister have had on me. I was raised with the idea that anything is possible! I was born into adventure in Southern California and lived there my first 10 yrs. My Mom and Dad met skydiving. Dad was my Mom’s skydiving instructor. He was always building something. He built a lot of dune buggies and raced them with Mom as a co-pilot.We spent most weekends camping in the desert by the fire under the stars and chasing kangaroo rats at night. I was basically a tomboy with my Dad teaching me how to use power tools from a young age. I learned a love of photography from him. We developed black and white photographs in our darkroom. I loved watching them magically appear. My Mom and Dad were very inventive and creative. Dad’s friend Ron Hawthorn, who was a very outgoing paraplegic and gave me lots of wheelchair rides growing up, wanted to learn to skydive. My Dad said “sure we will just have you do an ocean landing”. My sister, Christy, was born with Cerebral Palsy and my parents made sure that her disability did not slow her down one bit. She now has two Master’s degrees! When she had a major surgery in 1st grade and had to stay lying flat, my dad adapted a wheelchair with a board so that I could wheel her around the neighborhood and hang out with our friends. When she was 9 and still was unable to ride a bike he built her a special 3 wheel bike. I also remember my dad adapting a golf cart and adding an engine lift to act like a Hoyer lift so that a family member, who used a wheelchair for mobility, would be able to be independent and safe going down the street. He was always full of creative and innovative solutions. When I was 10 we moved to Romeoville, IL near Chicago. I continued to hang out in the garage learning from my dad. When I was 11 my he taught me to gas and arc weld. He always challenged me to solve problems and to be creative. He always thought in terms of “how CAN this be done” and never “it can’t be done”. Dad always enjoyed being out on the water and he adapted his pontoon boat so that a friend who was in a wheelchair could easily get on the boat and go with him. He named his boat “The Accessible 1”. As I got older I toyed with many different career ideas from being a National Geographic Photographer , Mechanical Engineer, Forest Ranger to Marine Biologist. My mom helped me realize OT would be a great match for me. My Dad influenced me with his entrepreneurial spirit. He was almost always self employed in mechanical work. He was a risk taker and without that influence I would have never taken the leap of faith and huge financial risk to be in private practice. During my 20’s my parents had a business making homes and businesses accessible by installing ramps, stair glides and porch lifts. They enjoyed this business so very much because they could see such an immediate positive impact on the families. When my parents closed their business, they moved to Washington to be closer to us. During the many years I worked in the schools, my Dad was always there to help me with whatever project I came up with. One of my favorite projects he did was to build a jig for Daniel (who has Down Syndrome) to build bird houses. Daniel has built over 1000 bird houses since then on that jig! The other day I was playing with the bubble machine and smiled when I looked at the handle that my Dad adapted for me 10 years ago to make it easier for the kids to turn the crank. Dad loved to have fun and made sure others were having fun as well. If there is one word I hear our kids describe ‘Ohana OT and that is **FUN!** He believed in us. He believed in others and persisted until they succeeded. My dad died of throat cancer when he was only 66 years old but he lives on through ‘Ohana OT everyday. It simply would not exist without his influence on my life. Thank you Dad! I love you!

The curtains are thicker than expected, if your looking for sheer these are not for you. I like the thickness of the curtains, bamboo designs are well printed. You cant see through them from the inside out and vice versa. In the pic you can see how much natural light comes in (10am) which is perfect for what I am looking for. The only issue I have is, I lightly pressed them to on the lowest setting of the Iron and the leaves transferred onto my ironing board cover, attached picture. Aside from that, the curtains are very well sewn and have a medium weight to them.

This PhD study extends the existing knowledge on the consumption of luxuries, by bringing together the conspicuous consumption and luxury consumption literature with self-concept and trait theory, in order to develop a conceptual framework that explains the phenomenon of luxury consumption from a consumer behaviour perspective. The model developed in this study describes and explains a) the psychological antecedents of luxury consumption in the form of a general – personal or social – selfconcept orientation, as well as in the form of various luxury-specific individual traits, and b) describes and explains a range of different consumption patterns of luxury goods. It is shown how an individual’s self-concept impacts a variety of luxury consumption behaviours via these mediating trait mechanisms. This integrative and parsimonious model helps in understanding the behaviour of these consumers and assists managers a) to better segment their markets, and b) predict consumer reactions to changes in their offering or communications, based on the interaction of multiple controllable drivers of luxury product consumption. This study offers significant theoretical contributions, as well as having important practical implications. It is the first to: a) conceptualize and empirically verify a comprehensive model that explains both the dispositions and the behaviour of the consumers of luxury goods; b) shed more light and detail in an overall proposed personal vs. social orientation to luxury consumption; c) describe and explain in detail the various personality traits of the consumers of luxury goods; and d) delineate and demonstrate empirically the various behavioural patterns of such consumers

My first ever trip to Bass was overwhelming. Like walking into a Sportsman's Warehouse that had mated with Dick's Sporting Goods, and then gone on steroids. Bass Pro Shops is an outdoor person's dream. And it's good for the whole family, oddly enough! Once you get inside this massive place, you have an upstairs and downstairs. There is a kid's area, a restaurant with fresh fish, a huge women's section and mens, and areas for fishing and boats and hunting and camping and survival and gear for any occasion. You can look at the giant fish tank, climb up a faux rock side for $3, and just be purely entertained for ages. They have snack foods and jerky and sweets. BBQ grills. Do they have guns? I don't know, probably! They have GPS equipment and water bottles and on and on and on. It was exhausting in a great way. My camping/outdoors needs tend to be more mimimalist oriented so I prefer an REI. But I like it here a lot. I picked up some socks that have a lifetime guarantee, and a nice woolen shirt for almost nothing, and a couple of gifts for the hunter/outdoors people in my life back in Tucson. Bass: it is an experience.

Very pretty. runs true to size. waist is higher than in the photo, as other reviewers have stated. correct fit is important because the arm openings are a little big, i thought, and when i sized up to try to get the waist a little lower, the arms were too large.

Idd. She may not agree with what he did. But parents are supposed to be united in their efforts. I'm not saying the guy is completely blameless. Slamming the computer and instantly grounding a kid for looking at something inappropriate on the internet seems a little excessive. At the very least, he should've talked about this with his wife first. But the wife is the true asshole imo. I consider it very likely that she damaged the marriage by acting the way she did. If I were that husband, this would not happen a second time without me seriously considering divorce.

NOTE 2 ORGANIZATION Advanced BioMedical Technologies, Inc. (fka Geostar Mineral Corporation or Geostar) (ABMT) was incorporated in Nevada on September 12, 2006. Shenzhen Changhua has been involved in the development of polymer screws, rods and binding wires for fixation on human fractured bones. The Company is currently involved in researching, manufacturing and conducting clinical trials on its products and intends to raise additional capital to produce and market its products commercially. The Company holds one Class III permit and one Class II permit from the China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA), formally the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) of the PRC. The Company holds two patents issued by the State Intellectual Property Office of the P.R.C. (SIPO). The Company has no revenue since its inception and, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprise), is considered a Development Stage Company. Masterise Holdings Limited (Masterise) was incorporated in the British Virgin Islands on May 31, 2007 as an investment holding company and was then owned as to 63% by the spouse of Shenzhen Changhuas 70% majority stockholder at the time and 37% by a third party corporation. On January 29, 2008, Masterise entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the Agreement) with a stockholder of Shenzhen Changhua whereupon Masterise acquired 70% of Shenzhen Changhua for US$64,100 in cash. The acquisition was completed on February 25, 2008. As both Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua were under common control and management, the acquisition was accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control. Accordingly, the operations of Shenzhen Changhua were included in the consolidated financial statements as if the transactions had occurred retroactively. On December 31, 2008, ABMT consummated a Share Exchange Agreement (the Exchange Agreement) with the stockholders of Masterise pursuant to which ABMT issued 50,000 shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of Masterise for 100% equity interest in Masterise. Concurrently, on December 31, 2008, a major stockholder of ABMT also consummated an Affiliate Stock Purchase Agreement (the Affiliate Agreement) with thirteen individuals including all the stockholders of Masterise, pursuant to which the major stockholder sold a total of 5,001,000 shares of ABMTs common stock for a total aggregate consideration of $5,000, including 4,438,250 shares to the stockholders of Masterise. On consummation of the Exchange Agreement and the Affiliate Agreement, the 70% majority stockholder of Masterise became an 80.7% stockholder of ABMT. On March 13, 2009, the name of the Company was changed from Geostar Mineral Corporation to Advanced Biomedical Technologies, Inc. The merger of ABMT and Masterise was treated for accounting purposes as a capital transaction and recapitalization by Masterise (the accounting acquirer) and a re-organization by ABMT (the accounting acquiree). The financial statements have been prepared as if the re-organization had occurred retroactively. Accordingly, these financial statements include the following: (1) The balance sheet consisting of the net assets of the acquirer at historical cost and the net assets of the acquiree at historical cost. (2) The statement of operations including the operations of the acquirer for the periods presented and the operations of the acquiree from the date of the transaction. ABMT, Masterise and Shenzhen Changhua are hereinafter referred to as (the Company).

Revenue Recognition On January 1, 2018, new accounting rules regarding revenue recognition became effective for public companies with a calendar fiscal year. Under the new accounting rules regarding revenue, revenue is recognized upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recognized through the following five-step process: Step 1: Identify the contract(s) with a customer. Step 2: Identify the performance obligations in the contract. Step 3: Determine the transaction price. Step 4: Allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract. Step 5: Recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. Since the updated guidance does not apply to revenue associated with financial instruments, including interest income, realized or unrealized gains on financial instruments, loan servicing fees, loan origination fees, among other revenue streams, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements. The revenue recognition guidance also included revisions to existing accounting rules regarding the determination of whether a company is acting as a principal or agent in an arrangement and accounting for sales of nonfinancial assets where the seller has continuing involvement. These additional revisions also did not materially impact the Company. Interest Income Interest income on non-PCI loans, held-for-investment, loans, held at fair value, loans, held for sale, at fair value, and MBS, at fair value is accrued based on the outstanding principal amount and contractual terms of the instrument. Discounts or premiums associated with the loans and investment securities are amortized or accreted into interest income as a yield adjustment on the effective interest method, based on contractual cash flows through the maturity date of the investment. On at least a quarterly basis, we review and, if appropriate, make adjustments to the accrual status of the asset. If the asset has been delinquent for the previous 90 days, the asset status will turn to non-accrual, and recognition of interest income will be suspended until the asset resumes contractual payments for three consecutive months. For PCI loans, the excess of the cash flows expected to be collected on these loans, measured as of the acquisition date, over the initial investment is referred to as the accretable yield and is recognized in interest income over the remaining life of the loan using the interest method of accretion. Realized Gains (Losses) Upon the sale or disposition (not including the prepayment of outstanding principal balance) of loans or securities, the excess (or deficiency) of net proceeds over the net carrying value or cost basis of such loans or securities is recognized as a realized gain/loss. Origination Income and Expense Origination income represents fees received for origination of either loans, held at fair value, loans, held for sale, at fair value, or loans, held-for-investment. For loans held, at fair value, and loans, held for sale, at fair value, pursuant to ASC 825, the Company reports origination fee income as revenue and fees charged and costs incurred as expenses. These fees and costs are excluded from the fair value. For originated loans, held-for-investment, under ASC 310-10, the Company defers these origination fees and costs at origination and amortizes them under the effective interest method over the life of the loan. Origination fees and expenses for ReadyCap loans, held at fair value and loans, held for sale, at fair value, are presented in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income in other income and operating expenses. Origination fees for residential mortgage loans originated by GMFS are presented in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income in residential mortgage banking activities, while origination expenses are presented within variable expenses on residential mortgage banking activities. The amortization of net origination fees and expenses for loans, held-for-investment are presented in the unaudited interim consolidated statements of income in interest income.

I ordered the black and white, and the pattern is just as pictured (so cute!), but after reading the other reviews, i ordered a size up. and i'm glad i did. the m would have been snug, but the skirt in the l fit me as pictured on the model. i am i b cup, and the top was snug but not unflatteringly so on me. it's still a dress i can wear to work and even wear a tank underneath if i wanted to. overall, i'm incredibly happy with this one; i'm fairly straight, though, so i can see how this might be

Note 8 Contingencies and Commitments Publisher Agreements The Company has entered into agreements with publishers wherein the publishers have granted the Company an exclusive right to sell certain reprints of each of the publishers publications. On January 10, 2012, the Company amended one such agreement with a publisher. The original agreement, dated July 15, 2010, called for fixed royalty payments through December 2015. The agreement was amended replacing fixed royalty payments with percentage of revenue royalty payments beginning on January 1, 2012. The amended agreement specifies minimum annual payment thresholds, however, any shortfall on the minimum annual payment thresholds will be capped at $500,000 per year. The amended agreement also allows the publisher to terminate the existing agreement at any time after June 16, but prior to December 17, 2012. The table below summarizes the royalty payment obligations of the original and amended agreements: Calendar Year Original Agreement Payment Obligation Amended Agreement Payment Obligation 2012 $ 4,500,000 85% of revenue, if $2,500,000 min. annual pymt threshold not met shortfall capped at $500,000 2013 $ 4,800,000 85% of revenue, if $2,666,667 min. annual pymt threshold not met shortfall capped at $500,000 2014 $ 5,200,000 85% of revenue, if $2,888,889 min. annual pymt threshold not met shortfall capped at $500,000 2015 $ 5,600,000 85% of revenue, if $3,111,111 min. annual pymt threshold not met shortfall capped at $500,000 The Company will account for the amendment to the publisher agreement prospectively beginning on January 1, 2012. At December 31, 2011, there was no prepaid royalty and a royalty payable of $1,050,000 relating to the agreement. During the three months and six months ended December 31, 2011 , the Company paid these publishers $1,095,000 and $1,140,000, respectively, and in aggregate, for these rights. The Company records the cost of each of these contracts each reporting period on a straight line basis over the terms of the agreements inc

Note 9: Commitments and Contingencies Operating Lease Obligation We lease our offices from a party that is related to our CEO. The initial term of the lease expired August 31, 2010 and there was an option for two six-year renewals. Under the terms of the lease agreement the monthly minimum rental payment was $18,565 and rent increased 3% every year on September 1st. Effective April 1, 2010, the landlord agreed to temporarily reduce the monthly rent to $9,283 until the end of the initial lease period. On September 1, 2010, a new lease was entered into for a period of two years with a monthly rental payment of $10,359. Rent expense was $93,240 and $111,395 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Rent to be paid under the lease agreement is summarized as follows: Twelve months ended September 30, 2012 $ 113,949 Total Lease Obligation $ 113,949 Legal Proceedings In the ordinary course of conducting our business, we are, from time to time, involved in various legal proceedings, administrative proceedings, regulatory government investigations and other matters, including those in which we are a plaintiff, that are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. In accordance with SFAS 5, ? Accounting for Contingencies, ? we record accruals for such contingencies to the extent that we conclude that it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. Our assessment of each matter may change based on future unexpected events. An unexpected adverse judgment in any pending litigation could cause a material impact on our business operations, intellectual property, results of operations or financial position. Unless otherwise expressly stated, we believe costs associated with litigation will not have a material impact on our financial position or liquidity, but may be material to the results of operations in any given period. We assume no obligation to update the status of pending litigation, except as may be required

Is there any place online where one can discuss deep technical aspects and questions? Most if the stuff I need to discuss with anyone is either complex or relatively deep. It’s always been an issue. But today most sites I used over the years have become awful (stackoverflow) or too shallow (hn). If there is a place for like minded people, then please invite me in. In a community of people that eager to learn there will always be added value for everybody. IMHO

The green is terrific, and the pleat in the back makes the top flows nicely. great if you have some muffin top to hide (like me). and the details across the shoulders and back makes it more interesting than just a t. i'm concern about the quality of fabric. lately there's much rayon mix and they tend to pill or wear out and get holes after washing.

No, the earliest tools are considered distinct from simply bashing of nuts with rocks because the stones themselves where altered in form. Humans where using hammerstones, but evidence for hafting would likely come later. Unfortunately organics don't do too well over such time scales.

Title: Comparison of glenohumeral contact pressures and contact areas after glenoid reconstruction with latarjet or distal tibial osteochondral allografts. Abstract: Glenoid reconstruction with distal tibial allografts offers the theoretical advantage over Latarjet reconstruction of improved joint congruity and a cartilaginous articulation for the humeral head. Hypothesis/ To investigate changes in the magnitude and location of glenohumeral contact areas, contact pressures, and peak forces after (1) the creation of a 30% anterior glenoid defect and subsequent glenoid bone augmentation with (2) a flush Latarjet coracoid graft or (3) a distal tibial osteochondral allograft. It was hypothesized that the distal tibial bone graft would best normalize glenohumeral contact areas, contact pressures, and peak forces. Controlled laboratory study. Eight cadaveric shoulder specimens were dissected free of all soft tissues and randomly tested in 3 static positions of humeral abduction with a 440-N compressive load: 30°, 60°, and 60° of abduction with 90° of external rotation (ABER). Glenohumeral contact area, contact pressure, and peak force were determined sequentially using a digital pressure mapping system for (1) the intact glenoid, (2) the glenoid with a 30% anterior bone defect, and (3) the glenoid after reconstruction with a distal tibial allograft or a Latarjet bone block. Glenoid reconstruction with distal tibial allografts resulted in significantly higher glenohumeral contact areas than reconstruction with Latarjet bone blocks in 60° of abduction (4.87 vs. 3.93 cm2, respectively; P < .05) and the ABER position (3.98 vs. 2.81 cm2, respectively; P < .05). Distal tibial allograft reconstruction also demonstrated significantly lower peak forces than Latarjet reconstruction in the ABER position (2.39 vs. 2.61 N, respectively; P < .05). Regarding the bone loss model, distal tibial allograft reconstruction exhibited significantly higher contact areas and significantly lower contact pressures and peak forces than the 30% defect model at all 3 abduction positions. Latarjet reconstruction also followed this same pattern, but differences in contact areas and peak forces between the defect model and Latarjet reconstruction in the ABER position were not statistically significant (P > .05). Reconstruction of anterior glenoid bone defects with a distal tibial allograft may allow for improved joint congruity and lower peak forces within the glenohumeral joint than Latarjet reconstruction at 60° of abduction and the ABER position. Although these mechanical properties may translate into clinical differences, further studies are needed to understand their effects. Glenoid bone reconstruction with a distal tibial osteochondral allograft may result in significantly improved glenohumeral contact areas and significantly lower glenohumeral peak forces than reconstruction with a Latarjet bone block, which could play a role in improving postoperative outcomes after glenoid reconstruction.

The fabric is absolutely lovely on these, but very thin. the top part was tighter than usual (and i sized up from my regular pilcro jean size) and they flare a lot. so the thin, tight top was not a flattering look. the rise also felt short. i'm 5' 4" with a 30" inseam and the regular length just hovered above my ankles. my husband burst out laughing when i tried them on, which is never a good reaction! even if i hemmed them, i think these are a miss for me. will be returning. better for

Sentiment analysis has emerged as one of the prominent research branches because of its endless usages and applications. Monitoring social media, forums, blogs and other online resources for customer reviews, product competition and survey responses to understand customer insight is of significant importance in business analytics. With the proliferation of informal user generated data online, the use of mixed language has become a common phenomenon. Mixed language arises through the use of linguistic code switching (LCS) or the practice of using more than one language in a single sentence. Such mixed language has rarely been a subject of sentiment analysis before. The lack of a clear grammatical structure renders the previous approaches to sentiment analysis ineffective for such text. In this paper, we propose a strategy to determine the sentiment of sentences written in a mixed language comprising of Hindi and English lexicons. Our technique can be used to analyze the sentiment of data belonging to any one of the source languages as well as the mixed language data. Grammatical transitions which are very common in mixed language have been taken into account during the sentiment analysis. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach via case studies on social media data sets.

Unhappy customer I called Telkom mobile customer service on the 03/10/2022 to change my debit order date from the 25th to the last date of the month and was advised by the agent i was speaking to that this was action, to my surprise on the 25/10/2022 i get a debit order notification that Telkom tried to debit my account. I called them again and spoke to Lindani Nxumalo and he informed me that the agent that was assisting did not complete the process in changing me dadinglt order date hence it did not change, he advised me that he will change it himself and upon querying the rejection fee of R202 that will be charged on my account he advised that he has sent my account to the billing team so that they do not apply the charge on my account but if it does get applied i must call in as soon as i get my invoice and raise a query so that it so removed. After i received my invoice i called the call center again and logged a query on the 3/11/2022(**********1) which to this day this query has not been action at all and this rejection feels will be deducted on my account this month end, after so many attempets to get this resolved with no success i called on the 25th which was last Friday and spoke to Thembelihle Mazulu who was not able to pro ide me with any sollution to my problem and after request to speak to a manager she advised me that there was no manager on the floor as all the managers were working from home which i called her out on that informing that that was a lie as the will never been agents on the floor with no management in the office at all knowing this from experience in working in the telecomunication industry for years. Thembelihle offere to request a call back from her manager Jabulile Mathebe who was working from to call me back asap but to this day i have not received a call back no an update just a survey to rate my experience after logging the query with them. I'm utterly disappointed in the customer service from #TelkomSA being a client for 5 years now I'm utterly disappointed in their customer service.

Title: [Research on VOC concentration detection by photoelastic modulation infrared spectrum absorption method]. Abstract: In order to ensure high stability and strong anti-interference ability in static interference system for qualitative and quantitative analysis of gas, a static scans interference detection system was designed based on photoelastic modulation infrared spectrum absorption system. The system consists of infrared laser, polarizer, photoelastic modulator, polarization analyzer and CCD components. By photoelastic modulator the principal refractive index of optical crystal will change cyclically by the modulation signal, producing cyclical changes in the optical path difference. With the calculation of modulation phase variation, the authors can get the function of the crystal length, the modulation cycle, and the range of optical path difference. Based on phase delay value and the energy distribution of interference pattern, the authors got the formula for the corresponding interference light intensity. The experiment used ZnSe crystal as the photoelastic modulation crystal, the polarizer uses the DOP3212 polarizer, and the detector uses the TCD5390AP array CCD. The five groups have different concentrations with three common VOC gases (formaldehyde, benzene and xylene) for detecting the concentrations of gases. The experimental results with the traditional infrared absorption were compared with the test results of photoelastic modulation infrared spectrum absorption method. The method of photoelastic modulation infrared spectrum absorption had high stability and real-time features, while the detection accuracy is better than the traditional infrared absorption method.

Fail to supply Electricity to tendants <p>We are complaining on behalf of the tendants (2 businesses an 8 resifential houses) of Transnet property situated in Swartruggens, North West Province. Up to the end of February 2017 our electricity usage was included in our monthly rent amount and Transnet paid the municipality for the total electricity usage. At the beginning of March 2017 "Idealpredpaid" (who is the contracter appointed by the minicipality to install prepaid meters) installed a meter without notification or concent of Transnet on the main meter box that supplies electricity to all ten tendants.Transnet is suppose to load electricity on the meter in bulk to supply their tendants.What happens in practice is that Transnet can not buy or pay anything to anybody without an invoice and vendor number."Idealprepaid" cannot deliver an invoice before purchases are made.Since March 2017 the tendants are most of the time without electricity and therefor cannot operate their businessses or experience the inconvenience at their houses without electricity.To overcome this problem the tendants applied for their own meters at their rended properties and they are willing to fund it themselves.Since March 2017 when electricity was supplied through the meter, "Idealprepaid" loaded units on their cost for the account of transnet.The issue now is that "Idealprepaid" are prepaired and ready to install each tendant's own meter, but they insist that Transnet must first pay the outstanding amount that is due, before they will continue with the installations. The spokesperson of Transnet mentioned that Transnet do not agree with the outstanding amount that "Idealpreaid" billed them. Due to the delay in solving this problem, the innocent businesses will  end up closing down and the residential tendants are suffering as well.The contact person at Transnet is Peter Mogatse at ********** and the contact person at Ideal Prepaid is Annemarie at ********** . </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p>

Title: Emission guided radiation therapy for lung and prostate cancers: a feasibility study on a digital patient. Abstract: Accurate tumor tracking remains a challenge in current radiation therapy. Many strategies including image guided radiation therapy alleviate the problem to certain extents. The authors propose a new modality called emission guided radiation therapy (EGRT) to accurately and directly track the tumor based on its biological signature. This work is to demonstrate the feasibility of EGRT under two clinical scenarios using a 4D digital patient model. EGRT uses lines of response (LOR's) from positron emission events to direct beamlets of therapeutic radiation through the emission sites inside a tumor. This is accomplished by a radiation delivery system consisting of a Linac and positron emission tomography (PET) detectors on a fast rotating closed-ring gantry. During the treatment of radiotracer-administrated cancer patients, PET detectors collect LOR's from tumor uptake sites and the Linac responds in nearly real-time with beamlets of radiation along the same LOR paths. Moving tumors are therefore treated with a high targeting accuracy. Based on the EGRT concept, the authors design a treatment method with additional modulation algorithms including attenuation correction and an integrated boost scheme. Performance is evaluated using simulations of a lung tumor case with 3D motion and a prostate tumor case with setup errors. The emission process is simulated by Geant4 Application for Tomographic Emission package (GATE) and Linac dose delivery is simulated using a voxel-based Monte Carlo algorithm (VMC++). In the lung case with attenuation correction, compared to a conventional helical treatment, EGRT achieves a 41% relative increase in dose to 95% of the gross tumor volume (GTV) and a 55% increase to 50% of the GTV. All dose distributions are normalized for the same dose to the lung. In the prostate case with the integrated boost and no setup error, EGRT yields a 19% and 55% relative dose increase to 95% and 50% of the GTV, respectively, when all methods are normalized for the same dose to the rectum. In the prostate case with integrated boost where setup error is present, EGRT contributes a 21% and 52% relative dose increase to 95% and 50% of the GTV, respectively. As a new radiation therapy modality with inherent tumor tracking, EGRT has the potential to substantially improve targeting in radiation therapy in the presence of intrafractional and interfractional motion.

This is place IS Beer Heaven! Over 100+ taps of amazing beers! This is the ONLY place I will purchase [several] beers at full price, not on happy hour. Amazing thing #2 ~ (for the girls) they have a "shorty" glass which is a 9oz glass instead of 12oz, it is a beautiful thing! Now I can order two different kinds of beer without getting overly full (er bloated), instead of the two big 12oz glasses! Amazing thing #3 ~ The food is delish!!! My boyfriend and I split a burger. Bad idea. It was so good we really didnt want to share it afterall ;) Amazing thing #4 ~ The staff are awesome! There are several staff behind the bar and ALL are happy and willing to help you if your initial server is MIA. They are very attentive, friendly and helpful if you can't decide :) Amazing thing #5 ~ The atmosphere is awesome and the music they play is great!

The REAL Fight Over AI Art It doesn't seem to be able to consistently create sequential movement in terms of design...say follow a person from point a to z in terms of various physical actions? Sequential artist perhaps have nothing to fear. As to writing fiction. I'd bet it's impossible in anything worthy of the name literature. Arthur C. Clarke was wrong to suggest chimps at typewriters given enough time could recreate Shakespeare by what standard: accident--chance? As mentioned here, technology has always done this. Remember the piano roll? That was a technology that automated playing but didn't stop pianists from continuing to play. A.I. cannot write Shakespeare, there are just too many nuances to poetry and language, plus meaning and purpose. It can perhaps imitate something but the flaws will be self-evident. They say Philip K. Dick sorted of predicted Sims in his Perky Pat story. He may also have predicted Wall E. in a machine that generated a comic book in the style of any artist. I don't remember if it's in Man in the High Castle or The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch. Collectors of rear but real and virtually extinct animals in Do Android Dreams of Electric Sheep only settle for fake robot animals because it was more affordable, if I'm recalling right. Check out Tim's Vermeer to see how Vermeer used a magic mirror "camera obscura" to achieve verisimilitude in lighting and color. I for one would love to use deep fake technology and adobe audio deep fake for films I'd like to make. 30 minutes of a famous dead person's voice and you can make them say your dialogue. The dead live again. Can they put emotional inflection in the voices yet ? Deep fake with dead actors is something that I wouldn't mind doing. Someone is doing this with Bruce Lee. It sounds reprehensible but is creative. The big question for me is can these "fakes" consistently create connected comic illustrations on its own say in the style of Jack Kirby with any of the same depth and power of his best work? It's truly ironic. Magazine illustrators almost vanished because magazines were no longer that important but illustration continues?

Would you use an artificial womb? (I would) A few years ago I was reading some article in a online news publication, the article was about artificial sperm, and the comment section was full of misandric women rejoicing about the possibility (which they understood as a hard fact) that men would all be replaced and some of them even talked about murdering all men since men (in their androcidal view) are "useless"... almost 10 years later, I haven't heard of artificial sperm anymore and it seems to me that now the shoe is on the other foot... think about it: the artificial womb technology already exist, if it is possible to complete a mouse pregnancy in an artificial womb and if the mouse can survive "birth", that also means that in practice it would be possible to do the same for larger mammals, like humans or elephants, giraffes, etc. I don't think this technology will be used for humans just yet, but for elephants and other animals that are now going extinct. However, by 2060 countries like Japan would have lost 30% of their 2010 population, that piked at around 128 million... what will stop them from trying to slow down their demographic decline by using this technology? I'm sure that in 20 years this technology will be more than ready for commercial use, and unlike artificial sperm, this technology is actually useful. Moral of the story: don't be sexist towards anyone.

MTN & Mondo - Worst experience ever!!!!!!!! I placed an order on the MTN site, Mondo called me for my details and delivered a router without a Simcard. I called and was told I must go to an MNT store and buy a Simcard and do a sim swap. As I was waiting in the cue, I saw the Home 120GB which suited me better. Finally, when I manage to speak to a consultant, I explained the situation. (I was still in my cooling-off period) She took the router and gave me a credit and told me that I should order the package I want online when I get back to the office, which I did. This created such confusion. My router took 2 weeks to be receipted at the warehouse. It took 2 weeks for my new router to arrive (No Stock) On my MTN app I noticed that my plan is MYMTN Home FLTE 30GB - Which is not what I ordered, I queried this with MTN and Mondo and I was told it is just what the plan is called. I was also charged a cancellation fee for the first contract that I queried as well, I have been waiting almost a month for the credit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am not receiving feedback from MTN at all regarding the contract that I am on that is incorrect.

I haven't liked most places I've worked, and I think it's a values mismatch.I value (in no particular order): - Interesting work - Sustainable work (i.e. plan 2w of work, do it w/o scope creep) - I love learning new things, but would rather specialize if they're unwilling to provide the time needed to do it right - I tire of arguments against maintenance, then confusion when stories take longer because the code base is a mess. Maintenance isn't just a developer issue. This isn't my baby, it's your asset. Take care of it or not, it'll get worse over time if you don't plan this work. I'm tired of covering for poor management and planning practices so I don't look bad - Momentum (do increasingly better work by putting time and effort into maintenance/training/whatever) - Similar to/including momentum: I want things to get better over time, rather than "phew we really sprinted to make that. well no time to clean up, more sprinting to do! make sure you clean up in the evenings/as needed" And most companies seem to value: - More work (overtime, homework (self-training off hours), planning work/BA work, anything they can delegate really) - Blurred roles (do whatever planning the PO doesn't get to, this will vary sprint to sprint, but should increase with your role, and you should do more over time) - Self training (might provide a subscription if you're lucky, but no time, often no warning when new tech comes) How can I find a company that's closer to my values?I don't want something boring and bureaucratic... but I find companies really seem to want to be on one end of this spectrum[0], and view the middle as "leaving money on the table".[0]

Woodfords unjust overcharging and double charging Rented a car from Woodford through rental cars with unlimited milage. On return of the vehicle I was sent a bill of R12000. They said I had 100kms a day free and charged me R5000 for extra kilometers. They also double charged me again for the rental I had already paid for through rental cars and added about R2000 on extra from what rentals cars charged. I phoned them and they said it was an error and they would amend it. I checked with them the next day and they said they loaded it on the system and the charges won't go through. Case closed I thought. A while later I saw on my credit card they still unjustly charged me the money they had no right to and added on another R3000 for a chip on the windscreen the size of a match head. After much phoning and many delays they refunded the extra kilometer money but said rental cars must refund me the daily rate (as they charged me 2k more). I told them 'no, I booked through rental cars, you unjustly charged me so refund' . After much arguing and being put on hold they eventually refunded me but still charged me R3000 for a stone chip the size of a match head. I don't believe they changed the windscreen but just put the money in their pocket and billed for a new windscreen. If I never checked the credit card and spent many hours wasted on the phone these charlatans would have unjustly charged me well close to R15000. They take money they have no right to and charge credit cards as if the card is theirs. Terrible company who should be closed down. I laid a complaint against them with the ombudsman but this is RSA and accountability doesn't exist in this country. And to add insult to injury they signed the car in in good order and then told me later there is a stone chip. I wonder how many other people banks balance Woodford has depleted without their knowledge

Title: Apple consumption is related to better sexual quality of life in young women. Abstract: Even if some evidence exists of a positive correlation between regular intake of phytoestrogens, polyphenols, antioxidants and women's sexual health, there is not a study addressing the potential correlation between daily apple consumption and women's sexual function. We aim to assess whether there is a tie between daily apple intake and sexual function in a sample of healthy young sexually active Italian women, not complaining of any sexual disorders. Seven hundred and thirty-one women (mean age 31.9, range 18-43) were enrolled in this cross-sectional study (from September 2011 to April 2012). All participants completed anonymously the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI) and were asked to report on their amount of daily apple consumption and their eating habits. On the basis of apple consumption all women were split into two groups: Group A--regular daily apple consumption, Group B--no regular apple consumption (<1 apple/day). The main outcome measure was the FSFI questionnaire result. Three hundred and forty-three women reported a regular daily apple intake and were classified in Group A, while 388 were included in Group B. Group A had a significantly higher total (p = 0.001; Cohen's d = 3.39) and lubrication domain (p = 0.001; Cohen's d = 3.02) FSFI scores than participants in Group B. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that daily apple intake must be considered as an independent parameter (p = 0.002) in predicting a better score at questionnaire examination. This study suggests a potential relationship between regular daily apple consumption and better sexuality in our young women population.

The shirt is beautiful, but fits much too small. the stitching limits the space in your shoulders, and the hem too short. a petite frame would be able to pull this off- but i am a 5.10" medium, and the shirt didn't work in every direction.
