For an Iraqi Army soldier patrolling Baghdad’s unpredictable streets, each 12-hour shift is an exercise in terror and uncertainty.
So Ahmed Qasim pops a small white tablet called Artane to help him through his duties.
The abuse of prescription drugs, widely available in Iraq on the black market and through private pharmacies, has significantly increased since 2003, doctors and other health specialists say, nourished by the stresses of the war and the lack of strict government regulation.
Dealers do a brisk business in tranquilizers, painkillers and other drugs, specialists say, and drug abuse is a problem in the prisons and among Iraqis who live in poor neighborhoods or who are unemployed.
But in recent years, Iraqi soldiers and police officers have also turned to drugs to ease the stresses of their jobs. In particular, they are abusing artane, a medication that is used to treat Parkinson’s disease and that can have euphoric effects when used in high doses.
“They believe that this Artane allows them to become courageous, to become brave,” said one doctor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly. about the issue.

We’ve already seen how the weak economy has affected several big-name tech companies, from Intel to AMD to Dell and others; but what about Microsoft? Well the software maker posted its earnings late yesterday and, even though it remains as one of the most profitable companies in the world, a slump in sales has sent it tumbling to its first year-over-year fall in revenue since going public in 1986.
Specifically, revenue for the first calendar quarter (which corresponds to Microsoft’s third quarter of its 2009 fiscal year) was $13.65 billion, down 6 percent from the year before, while net income dropped a whopping 32 percent to $2.98 billion. The company blames “weakness in the global PC and Server markets” for these results. A recent Gartner report showed worldwide PC shipments totaled 67 million units in the first quarter of 2009, nearly 7 percent down on the first quarter of 2008.
The news wasn't all bad for Microsoft; the company's server business saw a 7 percent rise in revenue and a 24 percent increase in earnings. As for Windows 7, Microsoft just noted that it “remains on track for a fiscal year 2010 launch” – which starts by mid 2009. As usual, they are only offering this rather vague timeframe but everything seems to indicate their next operating system will be out in time for this year's holiday season.

Clear Communications has moved to meet concern about the risks of e-commerce by offering merchants insurance packages alongside its hosting and credit card services.
The specialist packages come from the international insurance broker Willis, which is also providing risk assessment programmes for businesses using email, a website, an intranet, extranet and other e-commerce applications. Quotes will be available online through Clear's e-commerce site.
Clear e-commerce manager Michael Skinner says the new suite of products "removes another barrier for many companies considering taking their businesses online."
The packages include merchant transaction insurance intended to reduce risk in the case of credit card fraud, and internet liability insurance to protect against online risks such as copyright infringement, defamation and unintentionally transmitting a computer virus.
The risk assessment programme provides an e-security consultant to audit the e-commerce operations of Clear customers. Skinner says risks might include copyright infringements on images or a lack of expiry dates on pricing specials.
Unfortunately, no protection is yet available from perhaps the most significant potential risk of e-commerce - the failure to make any money.
Clear has also announced the promotion of Drew Gilpin to the position of general manager of its e-business services. Gilpin, who came from Advantage Group to manage Clear Net last July, will report to Ian Scherger, Clear's executive general manager of business markets. In his new role, he also takes on responsibility for Clear's free ISP, Zfree and the company's e-commerce, e-marketing and IP development teams.

NORMALLY, TO SAY of an exhibition that the best thing about it is the lighting would be to damn it with faint praise; yet in The Exchange’s installation of Imran Qureshi’s See How the Dark of Night is Red it is the exhibition lighting which endows the works with much of their force.
At the near end of room as you enter are two paintings that blend abstraction with a lotus flower patterning which characterises so many of Qureshi’s works collected here; yet thereafter the room is plunged into, if not darkness, then a far duller light. At the far end of the room spotlights then direct us to an arc of scrunched up sheets of A1-sized white paper, stained grey-red and piled up almost indiscriminately, as though to resemble bodies waiting to be tossed into a mass grave. ‘And They Still Seek the Traces of Blood’, this paper installation is entitled; and the 15,000 scrunched up sheets contain the images of floor paintings Qureshi had made in Bradford in 2014 as part of the First World War centenary.
Not only does the lighting carve up the gallery space, however: individual spotlights reach down within the fissures between the scrunched up sheets, searching out depths and textures, drawing out a play of shadow and shade. As the light pools in these gaps, it directs our focus not just to the designs just about discernable from the paper, but also to the void between them. It is apt for a work that comes out of a response to the deaths of the Great War to make its viewer so hyperattuned to spatial absence.
In these explosions, the paintings recall Whistler’s nocturnes in black and gold, yet it is the dullness of the acrylic which, paradoxically, most absorbs its viewer.
The exhibition’s lighting serves to attune us to depth—not just within the installation, but also, and perhaps more strikingly, within the five paintings hung in the darkened middle of the room: the series See How the Dark of Night is Red from which the show as a whole takes its name. In these paintings, red acrylics blend greyed smudges and impastos with that same lotus leaf decorative pattern, upon which are superimposed explosions of white. In these explosions, the paintings recall Whistler’s nocturnes in black and gold, yet it is the dullness of the acrylic which, paradoxically, most absorbs its viewer. The opacity of the finish, the interweaving of textures and patterns, deny us any single vantage point from which to get a view of the whole. The different angles and intensities of lighting then transform this from visual enigma into somatic experience: glints and smudges respond to different angles and depths of vision, so we shift our own angle and depth of view accordingly. We step backwards and sideways in the darkness until a motif hitherto invisible discloses itself; yet one further step and once again it recedes out of focus. We become awkwardly aware of our own bodies in this space, orienting ourselves continually in the dull light. In their play of light and depth, the paintings become as much an immersive experience as the installation.
Yet the most disturbing way these paintings enjoin our bodies is as the acrylic drips off the canvases on onto the floor: it is not so much that the paint has overspilled the canvas, than that the canvas now exists ostensibly as a surface for the paint to run from. But the drops of dull red paint on the floor below the canvas also recall, of course, dried blood. These are paintings where, because of the play of light and focus, we do not know where to stand; the droplets of paint that spatter the gallery floor bring additional squeamishness to our general sense of disorientation.
This is particularly the case given the explosions of light on the canvases themselves. Whistler’s set of nocturnes in black and gold was inspired by firework displays over the Thames; Qureshi’s paintings respond to a different spectacle of explosion: the spate of suicide bombings that rocked his home town, Lahore, in March 2010.
HOW SHOULD ART respond to such atrocities? Qureshi’s own answer in these paintings is clearly to demand an affective-somatic reaction from his viewers. It is easy to read the paintings literally, with the red paint overspilling the canvas signifying blood left on pavements, the sparks of light explosions, etc. But this would be reductive, for what is most striking about Qureshi’s works are how they incorporate different kinds of abstraction. There’s the abstraction of decorative pattern and ornament, most notably the foliage that adorns both his paintings and the drawings collected in the second half of this exhibition, at Newlyn Art Gallery. This is in open dialogue with the Persinate-Mughal decorative tradition (Qureshi was trained as a miniaturist before turning to these installations and large-scale canvases), though there are also echoes of Arts & Crafts design, reminding us that the artistic practices of West and East have long been deeply intertwined. Alongside this, and tending in the opposite direction, is an abstraction more recognisably part of post-cubist expressionist painting. This abstraction explores the opacity of medium—the acrylics, the flat canvas, the frame made porous by lighting—by dripping paint on to the floor. And coinciding with these countervailing forms of abstraction are two gestures of abstracting: the paintings both withdraw into, and reach out to abstraction; it becomes a means of shutting out the world, and of opening onto the world. If these are political paintings, then integral to their political reflection is the way they document this double, contradictory, impulse.
Given the assurance with which Qureshi uses these large spaces…it is perhaps surprising to think his background was in miniature painting.
Given the assurance with which Qureshi uses these large spaces, the ways in which he continually overspills his canvases, it is perhaps surprising to think his background was in miniature painting. And yet, perhaps there is continuity here, insofar as his larger scale works arose out of a desire to extend the possibilities of the smaller medium. In an interview from 2012 he said he wanted to ‘do away with figure’ and ‘bring a three-dimensional element to the minature tradition’, that he felt ‘a strong push against the limits, in the form of a manipulation of the flat surface of the medium’. And the continuation of the exhibition at Newlyn Art Gallery demonstrates just how much continuity exists between the different scales in which he works.
The large paintings retain many of the decorative details of Qureshi’s smaller works, and in particular, the merging of different forms of abstraction, gravitating alternately towards pure ornament, and pure texture. The selection at Newyln includes five watercolours from the series This Leprous Brightness, where footprints in red gouache give on to lotus flower pattern. Here too figure disperses into abstraction—either as pure ornament, or as the blotches and smudges of the gouache itself. But in turn, the blotches evoke skin that is charred, that has been hardened, suppurated: figure returns once more. In ‘Story of Two’ it is pattern itself which dissolves into blotting marks, with flecks of watery ink sprayed around the edges of the paper. Whereas ‘Hard to Understand / Heart to Understand’ merges cardiology diagrams and sketches, seemingly made in blue biro, with that recurrent red lotus leaf pattern, so that once more sinew merges with foliage, and capillaries abstract into tangled lines. In each instance, we see Qureshi’s attentiveness to a human body transfigured by abstraction; but being so transfigured, these bodies feel but more human, closer to our own viewing bodies. This is evidently the site where, for Qureshi, any humane response to suffering must necessarily take place.

Kevin Wayne Tindall, 47, has pleaded not guilty on two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12.
A Belleview Elementary School music teacher arrested on suspicion of improperly touching young boys told police he would sometimes check to see if his students were wearing underwear.
The teacher, 47-year-old Kevin Wayne Tindall, was arrested Jan. 17 on two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation of a child under 12. He has pleaded not guilty.
The second of the two students, who said he would try hide in music class, told a detective Tindall did "underwear checks" and also touched him improperly, according to a Belleview Police Department report.
Students frequently move around in music class so Tindall told school officials he would check to see if they were wearing proper clothing. There were times, he said, when clothes fell down and "it can be embarrassing," according to a school report cited by BPD.
Officials said the boys involved are 6 and 7 years old.
The abuse allegations came to light on Jan. 9.
The first boy had told his parents Tindall had touched his buttocks and looked inside his pants, according to police. He said the teacher was checking to see if he was wearing underwear by pulling on the front and back of his pants when the touching occurred.
The boy said Tindall would touch his backside “all the time” and did it when no one is looking, the arrest report states.
School officials were notified and Tindall was placed on administrative leave.
BPD Sgt. Jody Z. Backlund interviewed the boy, who said Tindall would touch his groin area and his backside when no one was looking. The boy said it made him uncomfortable.
Backlund interviewed Tindall, as well, who said he would check students to see if they were wearing underwear, according to her report. If they were not properly clothed, he said, he would send them to the clinic for clothing.
Other teachers said they were unaware of clothing issues and knew nothing about "underwear checks."
During Backlund’s investigation, he spoke with the second boy, who said Tindall would touch him in his genital area and his buttocks while looking around the classroom to make sure no one was watching.
Backlund interviewed Tindall again at BPD on the day he was arrested. He said he remembered a time when he accidentally touched one of the boys while trying to fix his pants and that it could have happened with the second boy, according to her report.
Tindall is on a paid administrative leave and is not allowed on any school campus, Marion County Public Schools spokesman Kevin Christian said.
Superintendent of Schools Heidi Maier is in the process of recommending that Tindall be fired, Christian said. The decision rests with the School Board.
John Douglas Whitaker of Avera & Smith in Gainesville is representing Tindall but could not be reached for comment.
Tindall has been a teacher at Belleview Elementary since 2002. In 2008, he received a letter of counseling concerning physical contact with students. Two students had alleged Tindall touched inappropriately. Authorities investigated, but there were no charges.

Excited, optimistic, humbled and honoured are some of the many words that come to mind as I step into the position of Executive Director with Native Women’s Resource Centre of Toronto.
Taking on this role is not a decision I have made lightly. I feel a great sense of responsibility, to the community, the team, our funders/partners, and to all of my Sisters. I am committed to fostering the health and longevity of NWRCT and I am honoured to contribute to the healing and growth of our community. I will endeavor to do so through the reconnection of culture and wellness in all directions.
NWRCT has been going through a time of transition and has experienced several changes. I believe this has had great impact on our clients and community. As we now enter a season of rebuilding, it is in my judgement we need to start by listening to the voices of those most impacted. In the coming months, NWRCT will be seeking feedback through community engagements to provide us with honest suggestions on how to improve the delivery of programs and services.
I strive to lead in a way that is inclusive, transparent, and collaborative, with a focus on the positive growth of the team. It is important that leaders foster the growth of our peers and colleagues, with the ultimate goal that they will surpass us in knowledge, wisdom, and contributions to the wellbeing of the community.
Despite the challenges of recent months, our foundation remains strong. We will continue to use the 7 Sacred Teachings for direction and grounding. We will work to fulfil the mandate of NWRCT in the healthiest way possible and as a united team of staff.
I will strive to do things in a good way but this is not something I can do alone. I will ask the Grandmothers to develop a circle of care to support my journey. I will seek unity towards the common goal of the health and wellbeing of our community. I will lean on the wisdom of others and the strength of our community to direct our path.
I hope for us to push one another, ask the difficult questions, and break down what we currently see as the standard. We have the opportunity to lift each other up to our rightful place and to lift the woman to a place of empowerment and strength. Native Women’s Resource Centre of Toronto is committed to serving our Indigenous women, and we know in doing so we are serving the entire community. If our women are strong, we are all strong.

Sarah McBride is the national press secretary at the Human Rights Campaign, working tirelessly to advocate for LGBTQ equality. She has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Time, Cosmopolitan, Elle, Vogue, Rolling Stone, and The New Yorker, and she speaks regularly at national LGBTQ and political events. A native of Delaware, McBride is on the front lines of the progressive movement.
"McBride's story is touching, thought-provoking, at times tear-jerking, and absolutely worth the read for all who care about equality."
"Sarah McBride's memoir is a must-read, offering encouragement while showing that the fight for equality is just getting started."
"In a world where the most vitriolic voices often sound the loudest, McBride's story reveals that most people are not prone to hate."
"Whatever the idea of a memoir from a still fresh-faced adult might connote, McBride subverts it: The past few years of her life contain more human experience than many lifetimes... The tumult of these years -- the affirming highs and the devastating lows -- are chronicled in her vital and powerful new memoir, Tomorrow Will Be Different."
"Sarah McBride is a force to be reckoned with... And now, McBride is detailing her history-making journey in her new memoir, Tomorrow Will Be Different."
"Tomorrow Will Be Different is at once a memoir, a roadmap to liberation, and a love letter to anyone feeling the faint flicker of doubt as the fight for equality goes on."
"From the beginning, McBride has been breaking barriers in politics, and in her memoir... she steps into the fullness of who she is. Tomorrow Will Be Different is absolutely phenomenal."
"One of the most prominent transgender activists of her time, McBride interweaves thoughtful analysis of contemporary political issues, such as bathroom access and trans health care, into her own triumphant journey."
"A brave transgender woman experiences both triumph and tragedy in this memoir of transitioning and so much more... Throughout, the author ably balances great accomplishments and strong emotions. Reading McBride's inspiring story will make it harder to ostracize or demonize others with similar stories to share."
"In her first book, activist McBride shows self-awareness and purpose... All readers will find this book enlightening."

(NaturalNews) Those who live in artificial cities, plugged into the fabricated media and hypnotized by television are unable to see it, but America stands today on the verge of war. Not war for an enemy in some far-off land, but war with an enemy that has cleverly occupied our soil, our structures of power and our information infrastructure. This enemy is the enemy within, and it is insidious, dangerous and voracious in its appetite for power.
This enemy devours liberty without thought. It usurps power without conscience. It manipulates minds as quietly as a python enveloping its sleeping prey. It is a sinister serpent that strangles freedom, and it is this serpent that the masses have placed into power and begged to abandon the separation of powers that have kept our Republic relatively free for over two hundred years.
Today, America stands on the verge of domestic war precisely because America stands on the verge of dictatorship. A corporate-flavored variety of fascism has reared its ugly soul, where corporations and government conspire in dark rooms to rob from the American people their health, their paychecks, their voices and their rifles. The face of that fascism is unimportant because it is the same face that fascists have presented throughout history: the face of a talented orator, a handsome, even noble-looking gentleman, a man of the people who explains that his acts of power usurpation are only pursued with great reluctance and at the desperate demand of his constituents. This is the well-worn justification of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Tse Teng, and now Barack Obama.
Such stories almost always end in blood. Those who do not respect the boundaries of power inevitably overstep them with a sense of delusional arrogance. They misconstrue, they miscalculate and they misunderstand their true place on the pages of history-to-be. Hitler believed he was creating a thousand-year era of peace and order, but instead he was remembered as a genocidal maniac. Stalin believed he, too, would build a "great empire" of innovation, production and expansion, but he went down in history as murderous tyrant.
Barack Obama is not nearly as popular among the U.S. masses today as Adolf Hitler was to the German population in the 1930's, and history has yet to reveal the final role Obama will deserve. But it increasingly seems to be one that thrusts tens of millions of innocent people into a bloody conflict, drenched in mass murder carried out under a campaign of "political cleansing."
Obama's political doublespeak and veiled hatred for any who oppose his personal views are near-perfect echoes of the mannerisms of history's murderous tyrants. Obama is not yet a mass murderer -- not unless you count unmanned drone bombings of children in other nations -- but he has set the stage for it, and America today stands as a tinderbox of potential revolt, ready to be ignited with even the slightest hint of further oppression.
True leadership is found in those who see the peace and prosperity of the nation as more important than their personal policy desires. To be a true leader is to put the future of the nation ahead of one's self; to steer America away from a dangerous rise in hate-filled rhetoric and the endless antagonizing of patriots and constitutionalists by the media, Hollywood and politicians.
Beware, radicals on the left. Beware what you wish for... and what you unleash. Your continued insulting and "terrorist" labeling of legal firearms owners across America is only strengthening the resolve of those you would be unwise to provoke. Do not make the mistake of thinking that the military and law enforcement are on your side; they are not. The most capable defenders of American society today are also the most dedicated, sworn defenders of the American constitution and its Bill of Rights. If you press your fascist agenda too far, you will trigger an almost automatic response from every sector of society, law enforcement and the military.
And that response will drench the streets of our nation with unnecessary blood. This is why my heart sobs for history harshly learned.

The signature bench lands of Naramata expose a face of the clay that can be seen below Moraine’s vineyard, and this exceptional landscape contributes to the creation of fresh, elegant, fruit-driven wines of distinction. The winery’s own Anastasia and Sophia Vineyards, respectively named for the Aristarkhov daughters, provide exceptional grapes.
The winery looks out to the lake over the seven-acre Anastasia estate vineyard, which is eight years old and is planted with Merlot, Pinot Gris, Viognier, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Shiraz and Riesling. The smaller, 3.5 acre Sophia Vineyard, is located closer to Penticton and is planted to Pinot Noir. In its third leaf, the Sophia Vineyard is not yet in production, however the vines show exceptional promise and the first vintage from these grapes is expected to be superior.
With a goal of using only fruit grown on Naramata Bench, Moraine’s inaugural vintage wines offer a unique, desirable flavour profile. Vineyard manager Pierre Levesque tends the vines with care and attention to each plant, with the health of the vine and ultimate fruit quality at harvest being the goal.

For Data and Geordi Laforge, it means a trip to the holodeck and 221B Baker St. With Data in the role of Holmes and Laforge as Dr. Watson, they take on a challenge from Dr. Pulaski that Data couldn't solve a genuine mystery. Data has a bit of time adjusting to a real mystery - as opposed to one for which he knows the outcome. In giving the holodeck computer its instructions however, Geordi's specifications for an opponent results in a far superior creation than expected putting them and the entire ship in danger.

The Global Volcanism Program has no activity reports for West Eifel Volcanic Field.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Weekly Reports available for West Eifel Volcanic Field.
The Global Volcanism Program has no Bulletin Reports available for West Eifel Volcanic Field.
The West Eifel volcanic field in the Rhineland district of western Germany SW of the city of Bonn is a dominantly Pleistocene group of 240 scoria cones, maars, and small stratovolcanoes covering an area of about 600 km2. It lies about 40 km SW of the smaller, but better known, East Eifel volcanic field. Individual vents, most of which cover a broad NW-SE-trending area extending about 50 km from the towns of Ormont on the NW to Bad Bertrich on the SE, were erupted above a mantle plume through Devonian sedimentary and metamorphic rocks. Scoria cones, about half of which have produced lava flows, form two-thirds of the volcanic centers, and about 30% are maars or tuff rings, many of which are occupied by lakes. About 230 eruptions have occurred during the past 730,000 years. The latest eruptions formed the Ulmener, Pulvermaar, and Strohn maars around the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene.
This volcano is located within the Vulkaneifel, a UNESCO Global Geopark property.

The lake-filled Weinfelder maar is one of about 80 maars of the West Eifel volcanic field in Germany, west of the Rhine River. The roughly 500-m-wide crater was formed during the late Pleistocene by explosions through nonvolcanic bedrock. About 230 eruptions during the past 730,000 years formed a 600 sq km area of maars, scoria cones, and small stratovolcanoes.

The Mehrener maar is one of about 80 maars of the West Eifel volcanic field. The village of Mehrener is located on the shore of a lake partially filling the crater, whose rim lies behind the village. Maars, scoria cones, and small stratovolcanoes cover an area of 600 sq km west of the Rhine River. Most originated during eruptions between about 730,000 and 10,000 years ago.
The Global Volcanism Program has no maps available for West Eifel Volcanic Field.
The following 412 samples associated with this volcano can be found in the Smithsonian's NMNH Department of Mineral Sciences collections, and may be availble for research (contact the Rock and Ore Collections Manager). Catalog number links will open a window with more information.
Large Eruptions of West Eifel Volcanic Field Information about large Quaternary eruptions (VEI >= 4) is cataloged in the Large Magnitude Explosive Volcanic Eruptions (LaMEVE) database of the Volcano Global Risk Identification and Analysis Project (VOGRIPA).

Stephanie Meadow, one of the heroes of Great Britain and Ireland's 2012 Curtis Cup victory, teamed up with Georgia Hall in the first four-ball match against Team USA's Emma Talley and Mariah Stackhouse. Talley and Stackhouse came out on top with a 2&1 victory that they led from the fourth hole on.
The Americans swept the three morning four-ball matches for the early lead. The Great Britain and Ireland team then earned a half in the first and third afternoon foursomes, as Team USA jumped out to a 5-1 lead after the first day of action.
The remaining four-ball matches in the morning saw USA's Alison Lee and Kyung Kim defeat Annabel Dimmock and Gemma Dryburgh 4&3 while American's Annie Park and Ally McDonald downed Bronte Law and Charlotte Thomas 4&3 as well.
Meadow (pictured) got GB&I on the scoreboard in the afternoon foursomes as she paired with Hall once again to halve their match with Ashlan Ramsey and Lee. Talley teamed with Mississippi State's McDonald in the afternoon foursomes and halved their match with Dimmock and Law. Park and Erynne Lee also defeated Eilidh Briggs and Gabriella Cowley 3&1.

If you had to look up the definition of an “African Women”, you would realise that it stands for beautiful, powerful, resilient female of African descendent who is sun kissed by the sun. Women who speak truth to this definition right now is media personality Luthando Shosha, Mtv Base presenter Kim Jayde, actress Michelle Mosalake and television presenter Bontle Modiselle who have been announced as the new faces of Revlon South Africa.
The ladies took to social media to share their sentiments on this big achievement within their careers.
If this does not inspire to reach for you dreams then I don’t know what will. “Dear African Women, You are smart, you are beautiful and you are strong in the lifeline. You carry power and courage within you. You now have the power to create and nature your dreams. Anything is possible African Women”.

Due to reformatting, this ASCII art no longer fits. This post remains under construction while I try to make/find a new one. Please continue on.
Welcome! Thank you for visiting "The Guide to Guides." To those who have not been here before, I bid you a humble welcome and a great thanks for visiting. I hope that you read all of the information given, go out, and make an excellent guide for yourself!
Any news pertaining to the guide will be archived here.
• The Guide to Guides is announced to be a Hot Forum Topic!
• As many of you may have noticed, I have been gone for quite some time; however, I intend to be back for quite a while now. Feel free to stop by and say hi!
• Come check out and participate in LetUsHelp's Walk Around Runescape Event! QFC: 42-43-646-60757904. LetUsHelp's Corporation Thread QFC: 98-99-645-60413081. Please RSVP or Volunteer to help out!
• The addition that the bullet point previous to this one is currently being constructed.
• An addition or reconstruction of the thread is currently being thought over. This would include the additon of a list of threads we have checked over the existence of The Guide to Guides and would list the title, QFC, rating, and general outline of the thread. Check back for more!
• Employee's first thread check (Dude CAPS).
• Activity Points will now be recorded for employees.
• First ever thread check completed!
• I am now recruiting people to help me file applications. See post below.
• The ASCII drawing will be in soon as it has been claimed to be made by Brendans(l)lvn.
• Guide finished at 12:43 AM.
If you would like me to come to your thread and proof-read for grammatical errors or overall subject and content, I would be glad to do so! Just simply fill out the application below.
your thread MUST BE A GUIDE.
Also, please report back to me ON THIS THREAD how helpful my work was to you. A scale 1-10, with 10 being the best possible help ever, would be satisfactory.
So, you've decided that you want to make a guide. Making a guide consists of including useful information based on either your knowledge or widely known knowledge compiled in one thread to assist the needs of players or to teach players something new. With this in mind, make sure that a guide is what you want to make. If you have a suggestion or if you need help with something, please don't clog up the threads of the Guides subforum. Find the best subforum for you in the Forums Listing.
It's a guide you want to make, you say. So, now you need to think of something that will help the Runescape players succeed in whatever it is they're doing. Let's say, for example, you want to help players make more money without being scammed. This is a widely known thread with many varieties out there. But, if you have something new to bring to the table, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED if you see a similar subject! The only way to see if your idea is original is to read through a couple of threads of the same or similar subject.
You've confirmed that your idea/method is original, and you want to bring it to the world. This is a good step in the right direction! Now all you have to do is brainstorm your idea, and how to present it to the readers. This is not simple, but, with a little practice and a bit of help from me, you should be well on your way to making the guide of your dreams!
Note: If you are looking for a guide to read, please do not make a thread asking for a guide. This is a waste of thread space, extremely annoying to other thread owners, and tremendously lazy of you. Please either scan the Guides subforum for a guide you might be interested in, or simply type your inquiry into the Search Threads box. Besides, you will turn up instant results this way, as opposed to the slower, tedious results of waiting for someone to find and post a great guide onto your thread for you.
on how to catch a particular fish and the best spot to do so. Most of these guides are created by the owner in hopes that readers will learn, go out, and do. Many readers will not respond to this type of guide, for it is simply a little snipit to read quickly and get back in the game. This does not mean your guide is failing though. Just keep bumping your guide, and it will be noticed.
, where as the Short and Sweet guide will only just tell you what to do, not give you pointers on how to do it as well. This guide is a full time job though, as you will not want your hard work and dedication (not to mention your time!) to be eaten by the Thread Eating Monster on Page 51. You will probably want a friend or two to keep your thread alive by bumping the thread, or posting a response to keep it at the first page. Readers will usually respond to this guide because some feel the sheer obligation to do so, as the guide has taught them so much. This does not mean you need to include a supporter list, per se. It means that you will be receiving more comments and maybe more tips. Tips are always a good thing!
Here's the deal; you will want to make a title that will grab the reader's attention without being too funny (yes, there is a limit) or too boring, but it has to make sense as well. For example, if you are writing a fishing guide from 1 to 99, you would probably not want to say My Smithing Guide. That would not make any sense. Also, you would be too boring to say My Fishing Guide. Sure, it gets the point across, but it bears no drive to read; it's a stagnant title. For this example, you would be best suited to go with a slightly funny title, such as Catch the Wave! 1-99 Fishing. It makes the reader laugh a bit, which makes them want to read your thread (possibly). But this is not always the case. In instances where you want your guide to be successful and to be taken seriously, you will want to make your title clear and precise. In this example, you would do well with We*ton's Guide to 99 Fishing. Clear and precise!
Honestly, it's up to you what you do with your title. What matters, though, is that people understand what your thread is about.
-"...What is relevant is making sure that your title makes it clear to everyone that you've written an awesome guide. To that end, make sure that you put "Guide" in your title. It'll help us to make sure that no Scout or Cub threads invade this forum."
• Write in your title in the title box so you do not forget it.
• In your first post, put Thread under construction, please do not post. This will be explained later.
• In your first post, brainstorm (and type out!) some major ideas that you would want to hit. For a longer thread, these can be part of your table of contents to come.
• Think of a nice way to greet the reader. Thanking them for coming to your thread is an excellent option.
• If you would like to include an introduction or a forward, now is the time to type it out in your first post.
Once you have this list completed, click on the Add Message button. This should take you back to your thread.
Now, the explanation of the thread under construction: readers will have no idea of when you are done conveying an idea; they are not psychic! So, instead of moving on to your next (or first) idea, click Reply and simply type in the word Reserved in the box and hit Add Message. Now you have one more box for your purposes. Approximate how long your thread will be and repeat this until you think you have enough space to finish your thread.
The main idea of doing this is to keep readers from posting in the middle of your thread. This is very annoying, and if you deal with it right away, there is no possibility of a reader responding with "This doesn't make any sense, why don't you think about what you're writing??" before you are done writing about your subject. I know how this works; it has been done to me more than a couple times.
And shamefully, I will admit that I have done it to others, too.
With your reserves out of the way, it is now time to go back and start writing your ultimate guide! Simply click on the word Edit in your next reserved post. From there, remove the word "Reserved" and start typing out your idea, preferably in the order that your table of contents goes. For skills guides, you'll want to start with Level 1 and work your way up in the posts.
Order and chronology do wonders for your thread.
When you think you are done editing your post and have conveyed all the thoughts you wanted to put in that post, simply click the Update Message button. Then, go back to your table of contents and brainstorming ideas to make sure you have actually included everything you wanted to. It's easy to lose yourself mid-post and start ranting about a different thing; I would know. I do it all the time, and I end up having to fix the mistake later on!
Do this with the rest of your thoughts/ideas. Do not think this is your final draft, though. It takes many times of editing to get a post that looks excellent and flows well. Reading easily is important to a guide; make sure your sentences flow and that your ideas transition from post to post easily, as well. If you would like me to check this for you, just revisit the third post and fill out the application.

Otherwise known as allergy shots, Allergen Immunotherapy (AI) is a series of allergen injections designed to make the patient’s immune system more accepting of allergens in the environment. This results in reducing symptoms, reducing or eliminating the need for medication, and a decrease in time lost due to illnesses caused by allergies.
Generally, patients who require AI have failed a combination of avoidance and several medications.
In order to be a candidate for AI, the patient must receive a thorough work-up including a complete history, limited physical exam, and allergy skin testing.
The content of the injections is based on those skin tests that were positive during testing, as well as the patient’s history of symptoms.
Because AI involves actually injecting the patient with allergens, it is a process that involves building tolerance. This is done with a series of injections from a “starter set” of shot vials, called extract, or serum. Each set includes three to five vials of increasing strength per injection. The goal of treatment is to build tolerance to the highest strength and dose possible.
AI is the closest alternative available to a cure, and will generally result in the best symptom relief of all the treatment options.
Patients are generally treated for an average of five years, although injections may be continued indefinitely.
Please refer to Frequently Asked Questions, or Contact Us if you require further information.

As lead designer on this quarterly project, I was in charge of the art direction and design of this publication. The internal newsletter was usually 20 - 30 pages in length, and was packed with employee articles, photos, company updates, and much more, from all sites of the global company.
During my time art directing this project, we overhauled the magazine to align with the then-recent Art.com rebrand. The refresh gave the newsletter a much more modern look and layout. Richer, bolder photography was used throughout, and much more storytelling was emphasized. The result was a magazine that was actually interesting to read, and looked great. According to an employee survey, readership increased by 64% companywide.
Work with all departments, including Human Resources, to produce a 20+ page quarterly internal newsletter.

text: In Colonial America, all-purpose axes, similar to the Native American Tomahawk, often served as diplomatic gifts between European colonists and Native American tribes. The peace pipe bespoke harmony while the blade signified war. Taking inspiration from the tools and weaponry of colonial North America, this single-handed axe includes a non-functional peace pipe. A cross-like cutout decorates the center of the blade, enhancing its balance. A diagonal wrap with brass accents contributes to the rustic appearance while creating a stronger, firmer grip. This fantasy weapon is a great piece to display on a wall or to accessorize a historical costume.

Listen to Clay Travis talk about Kyler Murray’s appearance on The Dan Patrick Show over the weekend that ended up being one of the most cringe-worthy sports interviews that you’ll ever see.
Murray joined Dan Patrick and the crew over the weekend, being asked about his desires to play football and baseball, but instead of getting the type of ‘I can’t really comment on that’ type answers we would probably have expected, instead Murray partook in uncomfortable stare downs with Dan that made the segment go from light-hearted humor to painful silence.
Check out the audio below , as Clay says the bizarre media appearance might scare teams away from drafting Murray in the first round of the NFL Draft.

So Allah gave them the reward of this world and better reward of the hereafter and Allah loves those who do good (to others).
Whoever desires the reward of this world, then with Allah is the reward of this world and the hereafter; and Allah is Hearing, Seeing.
And this world's life is naught but a play and an idle sport and certainly the abode of the hereafter is better for those who guard (against evil); do you not then understand?
Who take their religion for an idle sport and a play and this life's world deceives them; so today We forsake them, as they neglected the meeting of this day of theirs and as they denied Our communications.
Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in this world's life and (that) their souls may depart while they are unbelievers.
Like those before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children, so they enjoyed their portion; thus have you enjoyed your portion as those before you enjoyed their portion; and you entered into vain discourses like the vain discourses in which entered those before you. These are they whose works are null in this world and the hereafter, and these are they who are the losers.
They shall have good news in this world's life and in the hereafter; there is no changing the words of Allah; that is the mighty achievement.
(It is only) a provision in this world, then to Us shall be their return; then We shall make them taste severe punishment because they disbelieved.
And Musa said: Our Lord! surely Thou hast given to Firon and his chiefs finery and riches in this world's life, to this end, our Lord, that they lead (people) astray from Thy way: Our Lord! destroy their riches and harden their hearts so that they believe not until they see the painful punishment.
(To) those who love this world's life more than the hereafter, and turn away from Allah's path and desire to make it crooked; these are in a great error.
Allah confirms those who believe with the sure word in this world's life and in the hereafter, and Allah causes the unjust to go astray, and Allah does what He pleases.
This is because they love this world's life more than the hereafter, and because Allah does not guide the unbelieving people.
And We gave him good in this world, and in the next he will most surely be among the good.
(These are) they whose labor is lost in this world's life and they think that they are well versed in skill of the work of hands.
They said: We do not prefer you to what has come to us of clear arguments and to He Who made us, therefore decide what you are going to decide; you can only decide about this world's life.
And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendor of this world's life, that We may thereby try them; and the sustenance (given) by your Lord is better and more abiding.
And among men is he who serves Allah (standing) on the verge, so that if good befalls him he is satisfied therewith, but if a trial afflict him he turns back headlong; he loses this world as well as the hereafter; that is a manifest loss.
And the chiefs of his people who disbelieved and called the meeting of the hereafter a lie, and whom We had given plenty to enjoy in this world's life, said: This is nothing but a mortal like yourselves, eating of what you eat from and drinking of what you drink.
And were it not for Allah's grace upon you and His mercy in this world and the hereafter, a grievous chastisement would certainly have touched you on account of the discourse which you entered into.
Surely those who accuse chaste believing women, unaware (of the evil), are cursed in this world and the hereafter, and they shall have a grievous chastisement.
And whatever things you have been given are only a provision of this world's life and its adornment, and whatever is with Allah is better and more lasting; do you not then understand?
Is he to whom We have promised a goodly promise which he shall meet with like him whom We have provided with the provisions of this world's life, then on the day of resurrection he shall be of those who are brought up?
And seek by means of what Allah has given you the future abode, and do not neglect your portion of this world, and do good (to others) as Allah has done good to you, and do not seek to make mischief in the land, surely Allah does not love the mischief-makers.
So he went forth to his people in his finery. Those who desire this world's life said: O would that we had the like of what Qaroun is given; most surely he is possessed of mighty good fortune.
And We granted him Ishaq and Yaqoub, and caused the t prophethood and the book to remain in his seed, and We gave him his reward in this world, and in the hereafter he will most surely be among the good.
Surely (as for) those who speak evil things of Allah and His Messenger, Allah has cursed them in this world and the here after, and He has prepared for them a chastisement bringing disgrace.
O men! surely the promise of Allah is true, therefore let not the life of this world deceive you, and let not the archdeceiver deceive you respecting Allah.
Say: O my servants who believe! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord; for those who do good in this world is good, and Allah's earth is spacious; only the patient will be paid back their reward in full without measure.
Whoever desires the gain of the hereafter, We will give him more of that gain; and whoever desires the gain of this world, We give him of it, and in the hereafter he has no portion.
So whatever thing you are given, that is only a provision of this world's life, and what is with Allah is better and more lasting for those who believe and rely on their Lord.
Will they distribute the mercy of your Lord? We distribute among them their livelihood in the life of this world, and We j have exalted some of them above others in degrees, that some of them may take others in subjection; and the mercy of your Lord is better than what they amass.

Megachurch pastor Rick Warren stood on the mound at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California, on Easter Sunday and delivered his pitch.
"Baseball is a game of numbers in which every player falls short of perfection," said the best-selling author and evangelical powerhouse. "Similarly, in life, while we have all had a few hits or scored a few runs, we strike out a lot." Whether we're superstars or benchwarmers, God's our biggest fan, Warren concluded.
To the 50,000 people who watched Warren's well-advertised "Sermon on the Mound," the striking similarities between baseball and religious life were clear as a summer Sunday. But as a sprint around the bases shows, Warren is just one of a number of preachers, scholars, players and fans who hears echoes of the ethereal when the umpire cries "Play ball!"
To some, baseball, which E Scott Fitzgerald famously called "the faith of 50 million people," is revered as a religion in itself. It follows a seasonal calendar--begun this year on Easter Sunday-and builds toward a crowning moment. Its players perform priestly rituals, its history abounds with tales of mythic heroes, and its fans study and argue arcana with the intensity of Talmudic scholars.
"Like a church, with its orthodoxy and heresies, its canonical myths and professions of faith, its rites of communion and excommunication, baseball appears in these terms as the functional religion of America," writes religion scholar David Chidester of the University of Cape Town in South Africa.
Or, as Annie Savoy poetically puts it in the 1988 film Bull Durham, "The only church that feeds the soul, day in and day out, is the church of baseball." The well-known theologian Stanley Hauerwas, a fellow fan of the Durham Bulls, has written that "there are few things better that Christians can do in and for America than play and watch baseball."
Shaun Casey, an ethicist at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, isn't willing to go that far. But he does teach a class called "Church of Baseball" at Wesley.
During the weeklong class, students go to a baseball game, learn how to keep score and read a box score. In addition, they read Robert Bellah's famous essay on America's civil religion, watch Ken Burns's magisterial documentary on baseball, and learn about Jackie Robinson's role in integration as the first black player in the major leagues and how the St. Louis Cardinals beat the vaunted New York Yankees in 1964 by building a team that blended black and white players.

The government has decided to raise the home purchase subsidies (CSOK) available for families raising two children to 10 million forints (EUR 31,000), the head of the Prime Minister’s Office said on Thursday at a regular press briefing.
Earlier the HUF 10m loans were available only to families with three or more children.
The credit limit for families with three children will be raised to 15 million forints, Gergely Gulyás said.
The funds freed when the government decided to phase out state subsidies to home savings accounts earlier this month will be regrouped to support the CSOK system, Gulyás said.
