Oklahoma Statutes § 40-191: Restrictions on requirement of physical examination - Report not basis of damages.
It shall be unlawful for any person, partnership, association, or corporation, either for himself, herself, or itself, or in a representative or fiduciary capacity, to require any employee or applicant for employment, as a condition of employment or continued employment, to submit to, or take, a physical or medical examination, without providing such examination at no cost therefor to such employee or applicant for employment, or without furnishing, upon the request of the employee or applicant for employment within thirty (30) days after such examination, free of charge, to such employee or applicant for employment, a true and correct copy, either original or duplicate original, of the examiner’s report of such examination. It shall further be unlawful for any such person, partnership, association or corporation to require any employee or applicant for employment to pay, either directly or indirectly, any part of the cost of any such examination, report, or copy of report. Provided that the report of any physical examination furnished in accordance with this section shall not be made the basis or predicate for any action in damages against the physician and surgeon making and furnishing such report.
Employers are prohibited from requiring any applicant to pay for, and provide, any of their own pre-employment medical examinations or other records (medical, criminal history, fingerprinting, etc).
Oklahoma Statutes §24-148(A): Request of consumer report – Notice to subject of report.
An Employer’s authorization and consent forms must contain a “box” or an option for an applicant to ask for a copy of the requested report and must advice the consumer reporting agency of the applicant’s request.
Oklahoma Statutes §22-19(F): Sealing and unsealing of records - Procedure.
A. Any person qualified under Section 18 of this title may petition the district court of the district in which the arrest information pertaining to the person is located for the sealing of all or any part of the record, except basic identification information.
B. Upon the filing of a petition or entering of a court order, the court shall set a date for a hearing and shall provide thirty (30) days of notice of the hearing to the district attorney, the arresting agency, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, and any other person or agency whom the court has reason to believe may have relevant information related to the sealing of such record.
C. Upon a finding that the harm to privacy of the person in interest or dangers of unwarranted adverse consequences outweigh the public interest in retaining the records, the court may order such records, or any part thereof except basic identification information, to be sealed. If the court finds that neither sealing of the records nor maintaining of the records unsealed by the agency would serve the ends of justice, the court may enter an appropriate order limiting access to such records.
Any order entered under this subsection shall specify those agencies to which such order shall apply. Any order entered pursuant to this subsection may be appealed by the petitioner, the district attorney, the arresting agency, or the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to the Oklahoma Supreme Court in accordance with the rules of the Oklahoma Supreme Court. In all such appeals, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is a necessary party and must be given notice of the appellate proceedings.
D. Upon the entry of an order to seal the records, or any part thereof, the subject official actions shall be deemed never to have occurred, and the person in interest and all criminal justice agencies may properly reply, upon any inquiry in the matter, that no such action ever occurred and that no such record exists with respect to such person.
E. Inspection of the records included in the order may thereafter be permitted by the court only upon petition by the person in interest who is the subject of such records, the Attorney General, or by the district attorney and only to those persons and for such purposes named in such petition.
F. Employers, educational institutions, state and local government agencies, officials, and employees shall not, in any application or interview or otherwise, require an applicant to disclose any information contained in sealed records. An applicant need not, in answer to any question concerning arrest and criminal records provide information that has been sealed, including any reference to or information concerning such sealed information and may state that no such action has ever occurred. Such an application may not be denied solely because of the applicant’s refusal to disclose arrest and criminal records information that has been sealed.
G. All arrest and criminal records information existing prior to the effective date of this section, except basic identification information, is also subject to sealing in accordance with subsection C of this section.
H. Nothing in this section shall be construed to authorize the physical destruction of any criminal justice records.
I. For the purposes of this section, sealed materials which are recorded in the same document as unsealed material may be recorded in a separate document, and sealed, then obliterated in the original document.
J. For the purposes of this act, district court index reference of sealed material shall be destroyed, removed or obliterated.
K. Any record ordered to be sealed pursuant to Section 1 et seq. of this title, if not unsealed within ten (10) years of the expungement order, may be obliterated or destroyed at the end of the ten-year period.
L. Subsequent to records being sealed as provided herein, the district attorney, the arresting agency, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, or other interested person or agency may petition the court for an order unsealing said records. Upon filing of a petition the court shall set a date for hearing, which hearing may be closed at the court’s discretion, and shall provide thirty (30) days’ notice to all interested parties. If, upon hearing, the court determines there has been a change of conditions or that there is a compelling reason to unseal the records, the court may order all or a portion of the records unsealed.
M. Nothing herein shall prohibit the introduction of evidence regarding actions sealed pursuant to the provisions of this section at any hearing or trial for purposes of impeaching the credibility of a witness or as evidence of character testimony pursuant to Section 2608 of Title 12 of the Oklahoma Statutes.
Employers are prohibited from inquiring about an applicant’s sealed records. If an applicant has a sealed record, the applicant may state that they have no conviction.
Oklahoma Statutes §40-173.2: Prohibited actions regarding personal social media accounts.
4. Refuse to hire a prospective employee solely as a result of the prospective employee’s refusal to give the employer the user name and password to the prospective employee’s personal online social media account.
2. Any accounts or services provided by the employer or by virtue of the employee’s employment relationship with the employer or that the employee uses for business purposes.
C. If, through the use of an electronic device or program that monitors an employer’s network or the use of employer provided devices, an employer inadvertently receives an employee’s user name and password or other authentication information, the employer is not liable for having such information, but may not use the information to access an employee’s personal online social media account.
2. Conducting an investigation as specified in subparagraphs a and b of paragraph 1 of this subsection includes requiring the employee’s cooperation to share the content that has been reported in order to make a factual determination.
E. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent an employer from complying with the requirements of state or federal statutes, rules or regulations, case law, or rules of self-regulatory organizations.
F. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an employer from accessing its computer system or information technology network, including electronic communications devices owned by the employer.

text: The author discusses Scenariusze filmowe [Film Screenplays] by Jerzy Stefan Stawiński and I began to work in films by chance, being a record of an interview with him conducted by Barbara Giza. Both books are a kind of tribute to Stawiński, regarded first of all as a scenarist of Polish Film School. The first of them makes it possible to realize that his work was much more extensive. Both books have managed to present Stawiński in a way that he himself would like to be presented to the reader: as a man working for films, but being above all a writer. They show an image of a man who is satisfied (in readers’ and audience’s opinions), but at the same time dissatisfied (above all in his own view). A man who had an interesting life and who was able to talk about it in an exciting way, among others, through his works.

As some of you may know, I am a Puerto Rican Houngan. Thus my family has it's own traditional practices particularly a tradition known as Espiritismo. Espiritismo is Spiritism practiced in a Hispanic manner. There are many different types of Espiritistas with a wide array of different manners of living their tradition. As you also know, the Vodou tradition teaches service of our ancestors, thus I come to you with this topic of discussion.
Not too long ago, I removed everything out of my altar-room in order to clean, make space for new stuff, and arrange things differently. Due to the copious amount of things I have in there, this took quite a while and is just recently being completed. Well, I had finished setting up all the Lwa on their appropriate spaces but I never reset my ancestral altar. I just couldn't find space. So I left their things sit and wait until I was able to find the space.
Well, after much more re-arrangement I finally came out with a way that would have enough space to please everyone. Since that altar had been out of commision for a while (everything was piled together in a basket), my ancestors came to deliver messages to me. They wanted their space reset and they were a little displeased that everyone else was set up except for them. They also taught me some different works that they would like me to do.
As I said before, the way that Espiritistas do things vary from person to person or centro to centro. Many Espiritistas nowadays use a table called a boveda where as I use a Fuente Espiritual. Bovedas are set with seven to nine glasses of water, each representing a guide or group of guides. Family tradition has taught me to use a Fuente however. In the Fuente set up, only one large glass is used.
So I took the large brandy snifter that I use as a Fuente and washed it carefully in a mixture of florida water, holy water and water. When it was perfectly clean, I filled it to the brim with clear cool water. I placed a new clean white cloth down on the space that had been made for them. Traditionally, family practice uses the handkerchief of a dead man. One of my ancestors did not want the handkerchief on there anymore and told me to use a new white cloth instead, so naturally I did.
I placed the Fuente in the center of the table and could already feel the spiritual energy humming around me. I could feel the elation of my ancestors as I continued to set their table. Towards the back I placed a large doll that has a spirit my grandmother left to me. I placed images of St. Michael on the table and my Madama. I also placed the container of my chinese spirits, the tools of my arabic spirits, and the things that belong to my Gitana (gypsy). I also placed the tools of my Indio (Indian) spirit and everything was set to go.
We were ready for a feast! All the foods of the ancestors were carefully arranged on the table. Rice, cornmeal mush, coconut, codfish, yams, cigars, rum, water, coffee, bread. Everything was looking beautiful and coming together so effortlessly and nicely. I grabbed up a handful of white candles and set down to work.
I removed a charcoal from the box and lit it, it made beautiful sparks and slowly I laid some incense on it. The sweet smelling smoke wafted up to the heavens as I lit a white candle and began to pray. Softly singing the songs of the ancestors, a deep peace overcame me. As i blew the incense to all of my spirits, I could feel a tingling all over my left side. It was as if my whole left side had gone numb, but it hadn't the usual feeling. My ancestors were there and listening.
Removing each plate of food one at a time, I offered it to ancestors praying for their elevation. I prayed for my own well being and the well being of those around me. I slowly made my way through all of the offerings as I saw a group of shiny light globes over to my left. When I turned to look at them directly, they disappeared. I continued speaking with my ancestors asking for the elevation of all the my ancestors, including those that I know and do not know.
I slowly left the room allowing them to eat in peace. As I sat on my couch, I could feel the spiritual energy of the altar room spilling over into the whole house. A deep feeling of peace and serenity came over me. I was happy to have served my ancestors and thanked God for the blessed opportunity that He has given me.
Soon after I fell asleep. I had many interesting dreams, insights and revelations. When I awoke, I cleaned up the altar. I removed the food and took it to the place where it belonged. I had a great time serving my ancestors and hope that you will do the same. Allow the ancestors to bless you life!!!

Recently Google announced its all new cloud based service, Google Stadia. As per the demonstration and announcement, it was suppose to be a revolution of the Gaming industry as Google claimed, but people are left with so many doubts and confusion.
The very first question arise in people’s mind is, why all of a sudden Google is putting their steps in the gaming industry? Google has lots of it in its plate like web search, ads, browser, OS, etc. so why to create another source to dominate the rest of the gaming industry?
We all know that we are all covered and surrounded by Google. They have their eyes on every user in one way or other. On the bright side, this step of Google will bring change in the gaming industry for sure. As claimed, Stadia going to be a big change in the gaming industry.
The thing which is drawing user attention towards Stadia is the involvement of YouTube. We all are very well aware of YouTube. YouTube is known to be a world of creativity and a very first platform to showcase your talent. Many people earn from YouTube and how can we forget about the gaming legend PewDiePie. We all know YouTube is users last and first place when trouble knocks on the door. They search for cheat codes, tricks etc on YouTube.
A lot of experts think that Google’s Stadia project is all pumped up; they are building the best gaming home for their users. As far as we know, around 200 million people logged in daily to watch gaming content which eventually generates the biggest market for the ad world. About YouTube, in 2018 itself more than 50 billions of hours were only spent on gaming content.
From the gamers point of view, YouTube is the steering wheel of Google and from Google’s perspective, it is a game which is keeping YouTube alive.
Many Game creators such as Microsoft, Sony, Amazon, and Nvidia took a high road by moving on to the cloud. So it is quite obvious when the changes will happen, users may find it difficult to deal with as Stadia is offering new features like sharing of games within the platform itself etc. competitors of Google are already keeping eye on it, recently Microsoft and Sony allow a sharing features in their consoles. Taking one steps forward they already start building their platform on the cloud so they are removing YouTube. On the other hand, YouTube is creating a business for those who love to play games and can give 2-3 hours of a day to it.
Google and YouTube going hand on hand on Stadia. Lots of videos on YouTube is making sure that how stadia will make the gaming world better and how it is going to rollercoaster ride for people. We can’t ignore the fact that stadia will build a connection between YouTube creators and Audience.
The feature which is more talked about Stadia Controller is that they provided unique buttons, the company mentioned it on top, one is for screen capturing and other is for Google assistant. There is a black surface on top which is printed in crisp. The capture button provided is to share on YouTube without any disturbance. While the assistant button is to guide the user throughout the game, it doesn’t allow the user to end the game, they can seek help anytime.
The structure of Google is totally built on data centers, server farms and high bandwidth fiber optics connections which link themselves into the internet. Google already mastered the experience of running multi-billion user cloud services without any disturbance, other than this chances are high that platform gets spammed with the games joining in.
Google is using YouTube as a shield against their competitors. We all knew that Google has stopped YouTube services with Microsoft phone. However, the application is blocked on Windows phone and Microsoft already stopped making windows phone. Other than this we are also aware of Google’s dispute with Amazon. They temporarily stopped YouTube access from Amazon Echo for a while. To fight the competition with Google it is likely that Amazon and Microsoft will come with a better plan to dominate Google.
Google has come so far in this race, it started with a mere search company, then steady and slowly they build a whole empire. Since starting the only motive of Google is to dominate the market. First, they removed Microsoft’s internet explorer with their Chrome web browser. After that, they tried their hand on the operating system. They created Android and Chrome Os. The only motive is to not get ruled by other companies.
So there is no doubt about Google’s action with YouTube. Google is adopting the same strategy with Stadia and YouTube. Google already sensed the future they knew very well that cloud gaming must be a future in gaming. So they took one advance step, instead of cooperating with other competitors they want to own this territory too. YouTube is a gamer’s second option to look upon. By this, they knew they will definitely earn the huge profit and it’s definitely going to be hit.
As of now, we can only predict what is going to happen with these two, but it’s for sure nobody’s boat is sinking. Stadia will release any time in 2019. After release, we can give an honest review of the same. Till now we have to wait and hope for the best.

KDD BigMine 2017 aims to bring together people from both academia and industry to present their most recent work related to these issues, and exchange ideas and thoughts in order to advance this big data challenge.
Big Data + Deep Learning = A Universal Solution?Big Data + Deep Learning = A Universal Solution?
Inspired by such achievements and following the success of CD 2016, CD 2017 continues to serve as a forum for researchers and practitioners in data mining and other disciplines to share their recent research in causal discovery in their respective fields and to explore the possibility of interdisciplinary collaborations in the study of causality. Based on the platform of KDD, this workshop is especially interested in attracting contributions that link data mining/machine learning research with causal discovery, and solutions to causal discovery in large scale data sets.
Detecting anomalies and novel events is vital to the financial industry. These events may often be indicative of illegal activities such as credit card fraud, identity theft, network intrusion, and money laundering. A number of new ideas are emerging to tackle this problem, including semi-supervised learning methods, deep learning based approaches and network/graph based solutions. These approaches must often be able to work in real-time and be able handle large volumes of data. The purpose of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss these new approaches and solutions.
The KDD 2017 Workshop on Advancing Education with Data brings together data scientists and educators together to stimulate research in the interdisciplinary field of data science for education. At this year’s workshop, we are highlighting the following areas of interest: (1) Lifelong learning, (2) Assessments (3) Learning Analytics and Personalization and (4) Infrastructure.
The objective of UrbComp 2017 workshop is to provide professionals, researchers, and technologists with a single forum where they can discuss and share the state-of-the-art of the development and applications related to urban computing, present their ideas and contributions, and set future directions in innovative research for urban computing. Particularly, at KDD 2017 this workshop targets people who are interesting in sensing/mining/understanding urban data so as to tackle challenges in cities and help better formulate the future of cities. This workshop also well aligns with the topic of KDD 2017, data mining for social good.
The Interactive Data Exploration and Analytics (IDEA) workshop addresses the development of data mining techniques that allow users to interactively explore their data. We focus and emphasize on interactivity and effective integration of techniques from data mining, visualization and human-computer interaction (HCI). In other words, we explore how the best of these different but related domains can be combined such that the sum is greater than the parts.
Data-driven journalism promises to bring a more objective perspective on reported issues. Methods of data science are applied to find empirically sound stories from the vast amounts of data that are by now collected from every aspect of our lives. Data scientists are experts on empirical evaluation, data investigation, and visualization, methods that can help shed light on many topics of public interest. On the other hand, journalists are typically great storytellers and talented communicators, skills that are valued in data science. Thus, data scientists and journalists can profit a lot from each other’s skills and talents.
This is why we want to bridge the gap between these two communities and bring them closer together at the workshop for Data Science + Journalism (DS+J). We believe the current media situation provides us with an opportunity for attempts at synthesis, forming a common core of problems and ideas, and cross-pollinating across subareas.
This workshop is a forum for exchanging ideas and methods for mining and learning with graphs, developing new common understandings of the problems at hand, sharing of data sets where applicable, and leveraging existing knowledge from different disciplines. The goal is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and government, to create a forum for discussing recent advances graph analysis. In doing so we aim to better understand the overarching principles and the limitations of our current methods, and to inspire research on new algorithms and techniques for mining and learning with graphs.
The FATML workshop aims to bring together a growing community of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers concerned with fairness, accountability, and transparency in machine learning. The past few years have seen growing recognition that machine learning raises novel ethical, policy, and legal challenges. In particular, policymakers, regulators, and advocates have expressed fears about the potentially discriminatory impact of machine learning and data-driven systems, with many calling for further technical research into the dangers of inadvertently encoding bias into automated decisions. At the same time, there is increasing alarm that the complexity of machine learning and opaqueness of data mining processes may reduce the justification for consequential decisions to "the algorithm made me do it" or "this is what the model says." The goal of this workshop is to provide researchers with a venue to explore how to characterize and address these issues with computationally rigorous methods. We seek contributions that attempt to measure and mitigate bias in machine learning, to audit and evaluate machine learning models, and to render such models more interpretable and their decisions more explainable.
The ACM Medical Informatics and Healthcare workshop is on medical data mining to improve healthcare. It aims to provide a forum for data miners, informaticians, data scientists, and clinical researchers to share their latest investigations in applying data mining techniques to healthcare data residing in electronic health records (EHR). The increasing availability of large and complex medical data sets to the research community triggers the need to develop more advanced and sophisticated big data analytical techniques to exploit and manage these big data. The broader context of the workshop comprehends artificial intelligence, information retrieval, machine learning, natural language processing. Submissions are invited to address the need for developing new methods to mine, summarize and integrate the huge volume and diverse modalities of the structured and unstructured biomedical and healthcare data that can potentially lead to significant advances in the field. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of Machine Learning Research (PMLR) and will be posted on the workshop website. We plan to organize a journal special issue and invite extended versions of the accepted papers for that.
Sophisticated big data analytics-as-a-Service platforms for efficient data analyses is becoming more valuable as the amount of data generated daily in the health care literature exceeds the boundaries of normal processing capabilities. The objective of the bigdas@KDD2017 is to provide a professional forum for data scientists, researchers, and engineers across the world to present their latest research findings, innovations, and developments in turning big data health care analytics into fast, easy-to-use, scalable, and highly available services over the Internet. This workshop is aimed at data science practitioners working at the intersection of big data machine learning, Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms, Internet of Things (IoT), and health informatics. It will highlight current trends and insights for the future of health data analytics, which is bigger and smarter.
The goal of this workshop is to gather people from academia, industry, and startups working at the intersection of fashion and data mining and knowledge discovery to further the technology and its adoption.
Prognostics and Health Management (PHM) is the study of system behaviors to detect anomalies, determine root causes and when possible predict future system behavior. Common applications include large mechanical systems such as aircraft, electronics and increasingly complex cyber-physical systems with humans in the loop. The dramatic increase of sensors, data rates and communication capabilities continue to drive the complexity of PHM applications to new levels. At KDD, data mining for PHM systems has been a long-standing application area. The application of deep learning methods to these large multi-model sensor data sets can be viewed as a disruptive extension of this traditional domain for the KDD community. This workshop brings together academic and industrial researchers in the fields of data mining, machine learning, systems engineering, mechanical engineering, and the broader prognostics communities, in the collaborative effort of identifying and discussing major technical challenges and recent results related to machine learning-based approaches in PHM.
The focus of MiLeTS workshop is to synergize the research in this area and discuss both new and open problems in time series analysis and mining. The solutions to these problems may be algorithmic, theoretical, statistical, or systems-based in nature. Further, MiLeTS emphasizes applications to high impact or relatively new domains, including but not limited to biology, health and medicine, climate and weather, road traffic, astronomy, and energy.
Data Mining approaches seem ideally suited for Bioinformatics, since it is data-rich, but lacks a comprehensive theory of life's organization at the molecular level. The extensive databases of biological information create both challenges and opportunities for developing novel KDD methods. To highlight these avenues we organized the Workshop on Data Mining in Bioinformatics, held annually in conjunction with the ACM SIGKDD Conference.
WISDOM (Workshop on Issues of Sentiment Discovery and Opinion Mining) aims to explore how the wisdom of the crowds is affecting (and will affect) the evolution of the Web and of businesses gravitating around it. In particular, the workshop series explores two different stages of sentiment analysis: the former focusing on the identification of opinionated text over the Web, the latter focusing on the classification of such text either in terms of polarity detection or emotion recognition.
The workshop focuses on three main aspects of computational advertising.
The goal of this workshop is to foster mentorship, guidance, and connections of minority and underrepresented groups in Data Mining, while also enriching technical aptitude and exposure. We provide venues in which to encourage students from such groups to connect with junior and senior researchers in industry, academia, and government. We hope to create and help grow meaningful lasting connections between researchers, thereby strengthening the Data Mining Community.
All of us must have dreamt of having our own JARVIS (refer, Marvel comics) which can help us write poetry, paint a mural, compose a melody, choreograph a dance, or even write a research paper for this workshop! It is true that machine learning has not only solved challenging problems in the areas of speech, vision, natural language etc. but also hit the headlines by winning against humans in grand challenges such as Jeopardy, Go, and more recently Poker. Yet one of the elusive goals of artificial intelligence remains human-level creativity. All attempts to emulate creativity artificially fall under the umbrella of an emerging field called computational creativity. The goal of this workshop is to generate interest among the machine learning and data science community in this upcoming field by concentrating on applications of machine learning in creative domains. This workshop creates a forum for researchers and practitioners to exchange ideas and decide on the future roadmap of this field.
This workshop aims to explore this timely topic with the audience from KDD because the Web has become the essential infrastructure to acquire, disseminate, and create data, information, and knowledge. It has also become the unique locations of many informal intuitions (e.g., patient experiences), which can productively constrain existing models. KDD has a broad audience from both the technical and the social side of science. To better understand this topic, it is critical to explore a wide range of perspectives. In this way, KDD represents an ideal forum for this workshop.

Spondylolisthesis is a condition that occurs when one vertebra in the spinal column slides over the one below it. Damage to the bone or joints in a vertebra can cause this slippage. When the vertebra moves out of position, the spinal cord or nerve roots may be pinched causing symptoms of pain and other neurological dysfunction. Spondylolisthesis can also lead to deformities of the spine such as lordosis or kyphosis.
Although spondylolisthesis can occur anywhere in the spine, it is most often seen in the lower back. It can be the result of joint or bone problems in the spine due to degenerative changes over time, trauma, birth defects, or tumors. In adults the degenerative changes to the spine associated with age are most commonly responsible for the development of spondylolisthesis. For children the condition is mostly due to a defect in the vertebrae present at birth, or can arise after sustaining a sudden injury to the spine. Athletes who are involved in sports such as weight lifting, gymnastics, and football endure a great deal of stress to their lower backs. They are at a greater risk for stress fractures in the vertebrae (spondylolysis) and the possibility of developing spondylolisthesis.
In severe cases the compression of the nerves from spondylolisthesis can cause difficulty walking and bowel or bladder control issues to develop.
Following a complete medical history and physical examination to evaluate the spine the doctor may order x-rays and additional diagnostic tests. These will determine if in fact spondolylolisthesis is present, as well as what other conditions might be affecting the spine.
Treatment of spondylolisthesis depends on how much the vertebra has shifted out of place and the severity of the symptoms. Many individuals with spondylolisthesis respond to conservative therapy. Their symptoms are somewhat alleviated with hot and cold therapy, pain and anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy and exercise, and an epidural injection as necessary. In certain cases a back brace is recommended to bring the vertebrae into alignment and to help with healing. When symptoms do not improve with conservative care, or if the symptoms are severe, surgery may be recommended.

Last week I ordered a bunch of instagram pics through prinstagram. I was pretty surprised to see the fedex van in my driveway this afternoon, I really was not expecting them to be printed and shipped to Australia so quickly!! The photos are beautiful. Printed on a matte card that is much sturdier than your standard photo paper. I know I will order more, I am thrilled and highly recommend you try them out. If you have instagram pics printed anywhere else that you could recommend I would really love to know. This is among the first places I have found that ships to Australia. I was so excited to finger through my little bundle. I quickly whipped them out and blu-tacked them to my mirror on the lounge mantel. I think the mirror makes a perfect display. What do you think?
Oowww, now you have me excited, will have to immediately investigate this. Which site is the printing available. What a vety handsome visitor you have!
And Mr Magpie is adorable- is he admiring the portraits of his fellow kind?
Your printed moments are lovely. they look great all grouped on the mirror.
they'd also look good around a door frame in the sugar shack.
glad I'm not the only one with fabric pieces all round my house due to enthusiastic sewing days, love the magpies and lovely pics!!
The instagram photos look lovely displayed on the mirror!
Oh great! You're in Australia - I've just recently started following your blog (I'm in New Zealand) and so it's great to know that things you mention are relevant to me too. So often I read American blogs and just assume places would never send to the end of the earth. Thanks for this great recommendation.
Any way I will be subscribing to your augment or even I fulfillment you get entry to persistently rapidly.

For the next week, we will be talking about one of the most gorgeous countries in the world. Are you ready to fall in love with India?
India is one of the most culturally diverse countries in the world, but that is not the end of it. If you choose to travel India South to North, you will find all kinds of weather, all types of people, and very different approaches to life itself. It can be the journey of your life! But if you don’t have the time to visit all of India, here are 14 places to visit in India during your lifetime that will leave you absolutely breathless!
Mcleodganj and its breathtaking mountains will certainly be worth the visit. You can take this opportunity to camp under the clear sky filled with billions of stars. One of the most stunning places to visit in India, where you will find the most amazing view of the Dhauladhar ranges.
Located in Kashmir, Srinagar is definitely in our top 10 places to visit in India! Filled with natural beauty, this gem of Kashmir is most likely the best place on Earth to be united with nature and recharge batteries.
What about a quick trip to the beach? Andaman and Nicobar islands are two of the most known islands in India, and there is no way you can pass a trip to heaven. Because that is what you will find… literal heaven! Although it might be one of the most famous tourist places in India, choose the perfect time to visit it and you will enjoy every last second of your time there!
Jodhpur is the place where blue comes alive. If you catch a glimpse at an aerial view of this gorgeous city, be prepared to be hypnotized by all the stunning shades of blue. More than just that, the cobbled pavements of the city showcase the essence of Rajasthan in all its glory. Want to pass on that?
Varanasi is usually known as the spiritual capital of India. A mandatory stop for everyone that is traveling around India, Varanasi is one of the most famous places in India. Take a boat ride in the morning, and watch as everyone comes to bathe in the sacred Ganges river.
Mumbai, or the Indian city that never sleeps, is one of the most famous places to visit in India. Not only is it the biggest city in the whole country, it is also filled with cultural references. If you’re stopping by Mumbai, remember that this city is all about its people, the spirit of enjoying the nightclubs and of course Bollywood.
Kolkata, or Calcutta, is the place in India where ancient charm meets modern times. There is an amazing annual festival that you shouldn’t pass on the opportunity to attend. The festival of Durga Puja is the time when one gets to experience the culture of Bengal in its true form.
Delhi is, at least to us, one of the best holiday destinations in India. It has it all! A rich city that is filled with cultural references, amazing architecture, and stories that almost feel like they are yours as much as they are Indian. End your visit with a stop at Hazrat Nizamuddin’s Dargah for a live Qawwali session, that will leave you breathless.
The place you have probably been waiting for to pop on our list of famous places to visit in India. This is definitely the most famous of them all, the home of the Taj Mahal. One of the 7 wonders of the world, this is, of course, an unmissable stop when you’re in India.
Sikkim is the home of the ancient Buddhist monasteries and one of the most breathtaking places you will visit during your stay in India. In Sikkim, you will feel the mystical essence of Buddhism and, who knows, maybe even feel it cleanse your soul, making it one of the mandatory places you have to visit in your lifetime!
Mathura is usually known as the birthplace of Lord Krishna, and one of the best places to celebrate Holi Festival. Visit Mathura during the first months of the year and make sure you attend Holi Festival, the festival of colors, that celebrates Krishna’s living philosophy and good winning over bad.
Goa is mostly famous for its never-ending party scenes and its memorable nightlife. But that’s not all… The Portuguese-inspired pearl of the Arabic sea Goa, is also home to some of the most beautiful beaches in all India.
Keep visiting for more India-related content to come, and celebrate this beautiful culture with us!

Store Up Your Positive Experiences!
You might have heard about Pavlov, who found that he could condition dogs to salivate by just ringing a bell, with no food in sight. The dogs were conditioned to associate the bell ringing with food. In NLP, what Pavlov did is called Anchoring.
Anchoring plays a large role in our lives. We have anchors that work for us and anchors that unproductive. For example, we all have a song that makes us feel good… or bad.
Through NLP, you have a chance to create your own anchors and access them whenever you want.
Imagine having the people around you associate feeling good with you! How would that change your relationships with them? How would that change your life?
So, how does anchoring work?
A stimulus could be anything from a touch, a tone of voice to looking at a picture. Imagine, how does it feel when that certain person tells you that they love you with that certain tone of voice? For example, someone has an intense emotional experience and at a point during that experience, a specific stimulus is applied to create a neurological link between that stimulus and emotion. It is important that the stimulus is used at a certain point of the experience and it is suitably unique so that the stimulus and the experience get associated with each other.
Let’s try an exercise to develop a self-confidence anchor.
Think of a time when you were totally confident and you felt powerful. There wasn’t a doubt in your mind. Bring to mind that time, see what you saw, hear what you heard and feel those feelings. Make them vivid and intense – the colours, the sound, the feeling – they will peak and subside. Start clenching your fist as they peak and release as they subside. Repeat this and then test by clenching your fist. If you have done it right, you should feel a welling up of those same emotions – confidence.
The effectiveness of the anchor depends on the strength of the emotional experience, the uniqueness of the anchor and number of times it is repeated.
Yes, it’s this simple! Can you imagine the difference it can make to your life? Imagine firing off this Confident anchor whenever you feel unsure of yourself….

ROGER ARMITAGE, a partner in accountants Mazars, is to become a Town director in September.
The 60-year-old has worked on the takeover deal with his friend Ken Davy from the firm's office in Huddersfield and is to join the new regime when he retires at the end of this month.
"I'll obviously be taking a look at the financial side and making sure the club fits within Ken's parameters of at least breaking even and, hopefully, trading with a profit," said Mr Armitage, a lifelong supporter who has worked for the same company for 44 years.
"Ken has done his bit by rescuing the club and now we hope the supporters do their bit so that we can do the housekeeping properly. We can only pay out what comes in and we very much need as much support as we can get."
Mr Armitage and wife Wendy live at Linthwaite. They have a son, Martin, 32, who was educated at Colne Valley High, and three grandchildren.
Born at Holt Head and educated at Elland, Mr Armitage was senior partner at Revell Ward when Mr Davy's company, DBS, was floated on the stockmarket. He has known Mr Davy for over 40 years.
Mr Armitage's mother Elsie, who is 88, and his sister, Angela Waterhouse, live at Marsden.
His brother, Julian, sits in the Lawrence Batley Stand upper tier and has hardly missed a Town match for years.
"I have watched Town myself since the age of five and my favourite player was Dave Hickson, because he once travelled back on the bus with us into town!" said Mr Armitage.
"It still seems like yesterday when I was watching the unchanged defence, the Frank Worthington era was enjoyable and then the Mick Buxton teams when I was taking my son along to watch."
Martin works for accountants Simpson Wood in Huddersfield and his wife, Karen, is with Mazars in Leeds.
"I am looking forward to working at the club and with Ken," added Mr Armitage.
"I have acted for Ken since I was a junior in the firm and we have had a very good friendship and mutual respect throughout that time.
"Ken is a man of vision and what he has done fo the Giants and for Town is tremendous."
Mr Davy who has now rescued both major sporting organisations, said: "Yesterday was an historic day for the football club. It was also an important day for the rugby club, the Stadium and for the town itself.
"There were times when it looked like we weren't going to make it. The fact we have reflects credit on the whole town. In taking Town forward, I am keen to take maximum advantage of the synergy between the football club, rugby club and stadium.
"While the clubs will remain separate companies, each can gain in strength from the other and benefit from a financially sound, well-managed stadium."

What I’m about to say is going to upset a lot of people, but I’ve always been an honest blogger so I’ll just have out with it. As far as visiting teaching goes, I’ve never really been a fan. I don’t question its value but it has never been the light of my life as it is for some women. Because I do not relish visits myself it is hard for me to believe that anyone would want me to visit them. In fact, the last time I made an official visiting teaching visit to a particularly enthusiastic new homeowner in my ward Ben knocked over one of her newly painted doors and put a hole in it. This left me with a problem. The formerly dark-brown, crappy, particle board, hollow door was about 30 years old. You can’t replace those. But a new door wouldn’t match the old doors which she had pain-stakingly painted. A new door would defeat the whole purpose of her upgrade, “Why did you paint those crappy doors instead of replacing them with new ones—like that one there.” So I took the coward’s way out—a gift card in the mailbox and I haven’t been back since. Can you blame me?
Well, all of this changed yesterday. As some of you know I have been assigned to Sista C as a visiting teacher. I took her to a doctor’s appointment yesterday and dropped her oxygen tank on the ground. It didn’t explode, and for that I am grateful. As I was fumbling around with the tank Sista C pulled out a tiny key to her house and gave it to me. Probably everyone in our ward has one, but it was a very tender moment for me. I didn’t know what to say except for “Score!” So then I was totally cruising around with her handicapped hanging sticker and it occurred to me that visiting teaching RULES.
We then went to Carl’s Jr., as is our custom. Sista C kind of took our server to task over the fry sauce, which I took note of. (This becomes important later.) It was a tiny bit awkward, but there are certain things certain people feel strongly about and for her, it’s fry sauce. Later we were at the Drive Thru pharmacy, which I love—and I told her as much. Well, Sista C. told me that the drive-thru pharmacy used to be a credit union and before that, an Arctic Circle with a house attached to it. Do you see where this is going? Yes. Sista C. lived in that house and RAN that Arctic Circle in the 1960s. Hello Beautiful! It all makes sense now. It will surely seem like I am making this up in order to create a breath-taking story but those who are close to me will know that it is true: I love Arctic Circle and, in particular, am quite interested in their fry sauce and the many regulations regarding its dispersion and use which are actually posted at the restaurant. I couldn’t believe what she was telling me. Apparently her Arctic Circle was quite successful. She was pregnant with her first baby there and was bagging hamburgers and fries while she timed her pains. Love it. They made fresh fries (not frozen) and their own batter for fish. Love it. What’s more, Sista C’s pursuit of convenience has, apparently, been a lifelong one. She said with delight, “We just opened the door and there was our work!” Just like now, she just opens her front door and there is her car. Love it. Visiting teaching? Love it.
Sadly, I have yet to fully embrace what is now known as “Enrichment Night.” I just got a flier inviting me to join them for an evening of “de-stressing.” I think this is some kind of trick because they say they are going to teach “self-massage techniques” and I’m pretty sure that’s not allowed in our church. Needless to say I won't be attending.
Kacy- I get the feeling that most of the comments on your blog are from people that already know you, (family/friends) which makes me feel kinda dumb to post on your blog since I don't know you personally--- but hey, you're the one with a blog, so I figure you don't mind. I have to tell you, I think your blog is hilarious. I laugh out loud at times. You have the funniest way of telling your life experiences. I visit this blog a couple times a week simply for the fact that you make me laugh. It's heartening to know that there is a funny, sarcastic, smart Mormon woman residing in Utah County (other than me, of course!). And you seem so well adjusted for growing up here-- I just moved here in the last while. Anyway, like I said, it feels a little lerpy to read other people's blogs, but yours has become a habit. So that's that.
Thanks Lerp! Welcome. I hope you comment regularly and start your own blog so I can read yours. Maybe we do know each other. Maybe we run in the same circles. Maybe we have mutual friends. I read lots of blogs and I love the word lerpy.
Man... the material "Enrichment Night" could provide, and yet you opt out? How can this be? Please, for my sake (and possibly your own) attend.
So I was taking to Becca (http://www.ventureintowonderland.blogspot.com/) the other day about your blogs and we were saying they are the best, the best Jerry (Kenny B). So dont get me worng, I have a really short attention span, so its hard to read your longer ones, (I blame it on TV). Maybe Kacy you could start something totally new in blogging. Maybe you could at teh bottom include a "SUMMARY:" then recap everything in about 5 sentances! Good idea?
How rude that you ask Kacy to summarize her art!! You don't summarize yours... you don't even bother to write your own material... you just steal it from which ever newspaper happens to be on your desk. On that note I rather enjoyed your/The New York Times synopsis of the election.
Ok Cameron, I hope I have this right: you don't want me to write lists, you want me to write about my wacky neighbors but I shouldn't write too much or you will get bored and you also want me to include summaries of all my posts. What else can I do for ya? Because it is so my pleasure.
Remember our conversation about my not remembering things? Well, reading this way charming blog I thought of a million and nine things I wanted to comment on...and by the time I read all the comments I was Swayed in several directions. Let's see if I can remember... 1)The door...the agony...I LOVE other peoples' awkward situations 2)Visiting teaching is endless fun with the right people, you got lucky (we should be companions) 3) i need to compliment you on strangers compulsively reading your blogs...way to go!

Bayero University Kano came alive with unbridled excitement on the 19th of July 2018 as YIAGA Africa took the initiative, YouthAffirmativeAction, to its grounds for the first of its debates. Supported by the Ford Foundation, the initiative had been birthed from April 2018, with the goal to get youths more included into the governmental and development of the country. With youths making up over 60% of the Nigerian population, it is underwhelming to know that such a high number is less represented in governmental issues. This spurred the need for the initiative. Townhall meetings were organized in different geo-political zones, and debates slated in tertiary institutions. We wanted the youths to speak for themselves—are they really prepared and capable of taking their own futures in their hands?
With BUK as the starting point, the debate was crucial. But the students attended in impressive numbers, even before the programme began in full swing. The hall was full, and in time, the programme began with the welcome remarks from Ibrahim Faruk, the Senior Program Officer from YIAGA Africa, who welcomed the audience, giving insights to what is expected of the programme. In time, the Dean of the Faculty of Communications, Professor Umaru Pate made the first special remarks. He congratulated the students for their impressive turnout, highlighting that this shows they are enthusiastic about governance and youth development issues in the country, and how to bring about the much needed change that has to be done to revamp the sector. After all, it is true that if one expects a re-modification of something, he/she must be ready to be fully inducted to it, and moved by the cause to do such.
The hum in the room became excited as the Moderator, Efe Ozugha of YIAGA Africa introduced the debaters to the stage. The teams were sectioned into #TEAMKANO of the host school, Bayero University Kano and #TEAMKADUNA of the visiting school, Kaduna State University. Consisting each of a male and female, it was very noticeable that the gender balance had been effected, and the need for both genders to give insights in respective personalities, acute professionalism, and also with heart. The Judges took their place and the audience waited in anticipation. It was clear that the topic: “Competent Youths are Unavailable for Competitive Politics in Nigeria” was albeit a sensitive one, but also an important opening for discourse and interaction, especially with the 2019 elections close by, and the recent victorious signing of the #NotTooYoungTooRun Bill into Law. After the rules were given, the debates began in full force.
As the speakers from Bayero University stressed their points against the motion, one could not avoid seeing the fire that bristled with their words. The lady especially, took the centre stage, quickly taking over the crowd as they cheered her confidence and eloquence on. She mentioned that youths were not efficiently ready to take over full power, because with power comes responsibility, and if majority of the youths were not yet responsible, how will they effectively change the status quo for good? It was also impressive to see how the male speaker stated same, saying with the recent infamous news coming from the youths in the media, it speaks bad of the cause because it makes it clear that maybe, truly, youths are not ready to run and take responsibility of the governance and true leadership in Nigeria.
After the concluding points were made by both teams, the Judges took time to deliberate the teams to select the winner, while the audience engaged in asking questions and giving personal insights to topic shared. Women in the audience took a major part, giving their views and even projecting solutions! It was a thrilling interaction, and soon the results were ready, and the winning school emerged as Kaduna State University. All the debaters were awarded certificates of participation, and the winners were given a special certificate for their emergence as victors. Kaduna State University will represent the North West Zone in the Final Debates which will hold in Abuja on an upcoming date.
Overall, the debates were exciting and evergreen true of how youths in Nigeria were all united on the same front—creating the awareness for young people to effectively be a part of governance and leadership in Nigeria, and encouraging them to achieve their full potential to fulfill that cause.

If someone was to tell me that I'd grow up and have a blog and own a business; I would have probably laughed in their face. I had a pretty set plan for my life at a young age, and I've slowly learned to let go of certain dreams as well as chase after new ones. While I don't blog nearly as frequently as I want or should, the blogging world been an absolute blessing to me.
Some of my friends laugh at me when I talk about linky parties, conferences, and the blog/crafty friends who I hold dear to my heart. But truthfully, blogging has changed my life for the better. Two years ago, I was cautious, reserved, and utterly private, and here I am a couple hundred days later pushing myself so far out of my my comfort zone day in and day out.
Blogging has taking a very serious girl and reminded her that its okay to laugh every once and awhile.
It has restored my belief in the kindness of strangers as blog friends miles and miles away open their doors willingly and allow me to love on their kids.
Its lead me to coffee dates where I can pour out my soul to new friends.
It teaches me about beautiful blessings when sweet bloggers willingly take me under their wings long before they even meet me in real life.
It has humbled my pride and taught me that its okay to ask for help when taking risks; even in the simply things like dying my hair.
It floods with email account with words of encouragement, inspiration, and love.
It comforts me in my weaknesses and picks me back up when I fall down.
I am refined by all the grace I receive from others.
which takes me on brand new adventures.
This beautiful community reminds me that I am never alone in my struggles and trimuphs.
It takes me thousands of miles away from home, just to find a piece of home there.
It restores old wounds and reminds me that we are not alone in our pains.
It continually reminds me to have compassion and love for the heartbreaking things of this world.
I encourages me to be true to myself; even in all of my pink and green.
I am amazed as I watch people rally around those who have fallen on hard times; living true to the motto,"when one falls, we all fall."
And sometimes it overwhelms me to the point of no words. I know that I have wonderful friends where I live and I am so incredibly blessed. But I am equally as blessed by those I have friended online. This was never ever the life I dreamed for myself, but now its a world I could never imagine living without.
I am taught that life is short and that I should forgive quickly, love always, and cherish every single day to the fulliest.
A thousand thank you's would never suffice to the gift that each friend is to me.
:) awesome! the online world is full of ups and downs, but there's some pretty amazing ladies out there (you included!!).
This is beautiful and so true. LOVE IT!!!!!
:) I love you, Miss Carrie! So beautiful.

There could be numerous reasons why you have no sound on your HP computer. These can be either hardware or software related. If this is a new hook up, the problem could be a configuration issue, defective hardware or perhaps the speakers are plugged into the wrong port. If the sound was working and it suddenly quit, it’s most likely a software issue. The recommendations will help you get your sound working again on your HP computer.
We first need to rule out the obvious. Try pressing the mute button on your keyboard to make sure the sound hasn’t accidentally been muted. Or you can click the Windows button, then select Control Panel. Choose Hardware and Sound, and then click Adjust Sound Volume. Again, make sure nothing is muted here and that all levels are raised.
Some monitors will have built in speakers. If you have this setup, try the volume controls directly on the monitor.
If you have “powered” speakers, meaning they need to be plugged in, confirm the plug wasn’t accidentally pulled from the wall or power strip.
Try powering down the computer and make sure the speakers are plugged into the proper port. Usually, this will be a green port on the back of the PC. To eliminate the speakers as being the problem, you can also try plugging in a set of headphones or a set of speakers you know work. If you have headphones plugged into the front of the computer, remove them to make sure they are not interfering with the functionality of the speakers.
Try playing an audio CD. Make sure the volume is turned up within the playback program, such as iTunes or Windows Media Player. If you cannot hear any sound, try going to a video website, such as YouTube and see if you can hear any sound from the video playing.
If you’re still having no sound on HP computer issues, try updating the driver by visiting the HP support site and downloading a new driver. You can update the driver after you download it through the control panel’s device manager. If this still doesn’t work, it’s quite possible your sound card has failed and need to be replaced. If you have integrated audio on your motherboard, you can purchase a PCI sound card and install it yourself or take it to a computer repair shop and have them look at the computer.
You can join our free forums to discuss your no sound on HP computer problems or read our other HP tutorials for additional help.

A t first, the Bark River-Harris Broncos tried to be themselves. That means pressing, full-court traps and pushing the ball at such a frantic pace that the tempo of a game can border on chaos.
And for the most part, this works, because BR-H typically has a deeper stable of athletes and the length and speed to overwhelm its opponents.
So it was a bit weird to see the Escanaba Eskymos throw it all back in BR-H’s face. There were leakouts for uncontested layups and the steadiness of Lexi Chaillier busting through BR-H’s pressure to set her teammates up for clean looks at the basket. Escanaba was beating BR-H at its own game.

Face it. The only way protect people with pre-existing conditions is either a mandatory payment to a greater insurance pool, which is what the ACA did, or a universal, single payer, Medicare for all health care option.
That is just total bull#.
There is no reason that a new Medicare option couldn't simply be created that covers those with pre-existing conditions.
There is absolutely ZERO reason that this would have to be applied to everyone.
So then, every taxpayer would have to pay for everyone that the for profit insurance corporations reject on the basis of profitability losses.
If you're out priced now, you certainly would have been outpriced before the ACA, when insurance premiums were uncontrollably rising, lifetime limits were being imposed and people were being outright rejected because of pre-existing condition, regardless of their financial status.
There should be some kind of algorithm allowing for minor variations based on cost of living, etc, but, yes, if some doctor decides to take advantage of you by charging a full $20,000 more than the average going rate for the same procedure, just because it is an 'emergency' - sorry, but I view protecting people from that as a legitimate exercise of the governments power to protect people from fraud.
That said, proper implementation of true and full price transparency would eliminate the huge differences in price, making such situations virtually non existent.
Within one year of the ACA, premiums for my family more than tripled, effectively pricing us out. It was cheaper to just pay cash as we went, all the while fearing some major accident or catastrophic event.
In the 4 years previous, prices had occasionally risen a little, but nowhere near 'uncontrollably' - that is what happened when after the ACA.
Which would come to less than what their current private insurer's premiums are now.
That's why the SCOTUS determined parts of the passed ACA were coercive and thus invalidated.

When it comes to a wedding, we all know that there are many aspects that need to be covered such as the venue for the wedding, the menu, the decor etc. One of the main aspects that need to be covered just like that is the wedding entertainment! Many people attend a wedding hoping it is going to fun and lively and that is not going to be a possibility until you arrange the needed entertainment for the guests! If there is zero entertainment within your wedding it is going to bore your guests and make them uneasy which is exactly what everyone is trying to avoid when it comes to planning a wedding. There are many things that one can do for their wedding entertainment, starting from live dancers, a DJ playing all night to even trapeze artists, entertainment can be pretty much anything but one of the most special forms of entertainment during a wedding has to be the live band! A lot of people consider this to be the highlight of a wedding and here is why!
The quality of the music would be better!
Of course some people might argue saying a DJ at your wedding is going to be better than having a live band and while a DJ is indeed important, a live good cover band is able to provide the guests with better quality music! Quality is something you must always keep in mind when planning wedding entertainment as we must always try to avoid things of poor quality. After all, the couple cannot have their first dance to a DJ can they? They would need the beautiful sounds of a band singing their favorite song to complete the wedding!
We all know that within a wedding, there are a lot of different moods and while in the beginning the music might be slow and classical as the couple is expect to perform their first dance together, in the latter part of the wedding this music might make a change for fast and loud! If you look for a wedding band Brisbane price, you can easily find the best band for your wedding that is able to switch between different forms of music during the wedding and give the guests what they want!
We must keep in mind that our wedding guests are going to want to feel engaged in what happens at your wedding which is why a live band is perfect! They are able to give the guests what they want and can interact with them at a steady pace as well!
Young folks today prefer less drama. When it comes to life events like marriages and weddings, not many want to make a big show anymore. This could be owing many reasons. It could be financial, or it could simply be a personal choice.
Many are now opting for low key celebrations because they believe in better, and meaningful ways to make their big day more memorable and cherished. Therefore, they cut down on the costs for the ceremony, and spend a little more on honeymoons and, perhaps, even invest in something more promising. If that’s what you prefer, you can always look for cheap wedding venues Adelaide and low-cost planning and décor services to have it all organized in a small, simple, yet satisfying way. Being on a budget doesn’t necessarily mean that you’d be required to give up on all the wonderful parts of your beautiful wedding. Today, everything is made possible for almost everyone, therefore the world makes sure you aren’t deprived of the little things in life.
When you want to keep things low key, it could also mean that you wouldn’t be choosing a central location for your occasion. But, then again, it might concern you about the possibilities of celebrating away in quieter places. All you would need to do to find the best options is look for function room hire Adelaide possibilities or small function venues in your little town. You may look them up on the internet, too. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself in a situation where there are too many to pick from, because the options can be pretty large.
The main reason why these hotels are affordable is because of the limited numbers that are accommodated. If your ceremony is going to comprise of a few guests, like close family and friends, this would be a decent option to pick. Because of the smaller numbers, service is usually high quality as it becomes easier to manage and easier to cater to your specific, individual needs effectively. Maintenance of a smaller place is a lot easier and a low-cost affair too, therefore, there is no need to worry too much about quality in standards. Th less it takes to maintain these pretty, petite places, the lesser it will cost you, too.You may not be the only one who wishes for a simple or ‘less dramatic’ celebration for your big day. In the current generation, there are quite a lot of you who prefer to keep things hush hush for all the good reasons. You may not be wrong in your thinking, because small things are sometimes more beautiful.

A new initiative to help whistleblowers return to work in the NHS is being developed and piloted by NHS Improvement.
The regulator has appealed for NHS trusts to get involved in designing the employment support scheme after holding a workshop with whistleblowers earlier this year.
Helping genuine whistleblowers to return to work was a key recommendation of Sir Robert Francis QC’s report Freedom to Speak Up which examined the victimisation of whistleblowers in the NHS.
Now NHS Improvement has said it will implement a return to work scheme and is designing a pilot, but has called for NHS trusts to help design the scheme along with members of the whistleblower community.
In his report, published in 2015, Sir Robert said evidence showed some whistleblowers spent long periods suspended from work and in many cases never returned to work having lost their careers. He said there was an “urgent need” for a scheme to support people to return to the NHS.
As a minimum Sir Robert said the scheme must include remedial training and work experience, advice and help in making job applications, the creation of a pool of employers prepared to offer trial work and guidance for employers to encourage them to consider raising concerns as a positive characteristic for potential employees.
No details have yet been released about the timetable for development of the pilot or which organisations are involved.
A spokeswoman for NHS Improvement said: “We are committed to ensuring that NHS staff who raise legitimate concerns are able to do so safely and with the knowledge that they will be supported to return to the NHS and their chosen career.

Increase in the demand of energy sources, the rates of electricity have gone higher. Pollution and heat generated by the energy production are having a bad impact on the climate.
This all scenario made people think about green energy production. By doing this they were able to save energy bills and the environment at the same time. This green energy became a trend and revolutionized the industries of the world. As an impact, everyone was shifting to greener products which were energy-saving, cost-effective, and reduce their dependency on the grid.
Air cooler Industry was not the exception. Companies started making the coolers which were less energy consuming and were able to work on the low voltage levels, Solar panels were used to power these new high-tech machines which made them an independent product, hence Solar Air Cooler was Created. This was the answer of humanity to the global warming. Solar Air cooler soon became the need of the market and many companies started their own research and development to increase its efficiency and usability.
Structure-wise solar air cooler is not much different from other desert coolers or swamp coolers. The main difference is the difference of voltages on which they can work, other than size and Horsepower of the motor.
Usually, Solar Air coolers are smaller in size and have less air throw, but their energy consumption is very low as compared to the other coolers. Solar Air Coolers Also work on the same evaporation system as a swamp cooler. In fact, it is a smaller swamp cooler.
It has a water container with a small water motor in it. The water motor showers the water onto the cooling pads, the water drips down from the pad making it wet and collected in the storage tank, from where it is again showered by the motor. Three sides of the cooler are fitted with cooling pads while on the fourth side there is a fan or centrifugal blower. This blower blows the air out of the cooler decreasing the pressure inside the cooler, hot air from outside enters the cooler through the cooling pads to neutralize the decreasing pressure inside. This way the air is cooled down several degrees and supplied out of the cooler by the blower. This cycle continues and cool air is supplied.
The performance of the cooler depends upon the design of the cooler. The coolers cool down the air from 10-20 °C depending on their design. Some coolers need very low maintenance because of the quality of cooling pads and some need high maintenance because of low-quality material or bad design.
The main problems with this machine are that it can cool down limited area if the area is large more units are required because it is a low powered unit and has limited supply capacity due to its smaller motors. The other issue is mineral scaling which is present in the water which is mostly salt which sticks on the pad walls to become layers, which reduces the efficiency of the cooler, this scaling slowly blocks the air eventually blocking all out, and then it is needed to be replaced.
Some companies came out with their own ideas for solving these issues, and they have succeeded considerably. The middle eastern company “Windmason” came up with the unique ideas to solve these problems. They stop scaling of minerals through magnetic ionization, for this purpose they use special magnets. Another way is to draw out some water from the tanks after an interval of time to stop minerals from collecting in the tub or to stop TDS(Total Dissolved Solids) number of Water from becoming very high.
Research and Development is a never ending field and companies make their product better and better each day, the one makes a thing the other develops better and humanity keeps benefiting, that’s a healthy competition.
