Denis Suarez’s long-term future at Arsenal is in serious doubt amid reports that the midfielder is suffering from a persistent groin injury.
The Daily Mail now claim Suarez has been troubled by pain during team training sessions in recent weeks and that the club’s physios have now advised the Spaniard about potentially reducing his involvement in practice.
The reports claims there are fears that the former Manchester City olayer is suffering from a sports hernia injury, and that the pain is at its most intense when the midfielder has to twist and turn quickly.
As such, Suarez is expected to hold talks with Emery in the next day over lessening his role in training, so as to ensure he is fully fit towards the Gunners’ final few games of the season.
As part of the deal to bring Suarez to north London, Arsenal have an option to turn the loan into a permanent move for a fee in the region of £20m, but it now appears highly unlikely that such a decision will be taken up.
Suarez is unlikely to start in the Gunners’ next game, as Emery’s side take on Napoli in the second leg of their Europa League quarter-final tie on Thursday night.

Can you work with PTSD? The answer is not a simple yes or no, but unfortunately for many people with this condition, maintaining a job and other responsibilities is difficult or impossible. With the right treatment, though, the debilitating symptoms of PTSD lessen and it is possible to regain normal functioning. By focusing on treatment and facing past traumas, you can learn to manage and recover from this condition and get back to work.
Can You Work With PTSD?
Post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, is a mental illness triggered by experiencing trauma. It causes serious symptoms that can become debilitating. You may struggle with PTSD and be unable to control your emotions and outbursts, avoid frightening thoughts, or even control flashbacks to trauma that feel very real. These symptoms and complications make working with PTSD a challenge, but it is possible.
Effective treatments for PTSD are available, and they can help you manage symptoms and be able to go back to work.
Intrusive memories. This can take the form of persistent thoughts and memories of trauma, flashbacks that make you feel as if you are reliving the experience, nightmares, and distress when faced with anything that reminds you of the trauma.
Avoidance. PTSD causes people to avoid any thing, person, event, or place that reminds them of trauma. It is also common to avoid talking about the experience at all.
Unstable reactions and behaviors. You may get startled easily and be jumpy and on guard constantly for a source of danger. PTSD can make sleeping or focusing on tasks difficult. It can also trigger anger and aggressive outbursts as well as self-destructive behaviors.
Negative thoughts and moods. This may include a negative outlook on the world, loss of interest in activities, difficulty with relationships and socializing, feelings of hopelessness, or even emotional numbness.
The intensity of symptoms of PTSD can vary a lot. One day you may feel fine until a loud noise triggers a flashback, for instance. More stress in general can also worsen symptoms.
The symptoms of PTSD can be severe and debilitating. You may have good days but also periods of time when you simply can’t function normally. When you are constantly on the lookout for danger, susceptible to terrifying memories and flashbacks, and emotionally unstable, doing normal, everyday activities becomes extremely challenging.
It’s clear that the symptoms of PTSD can lead to a number of very serious complications that impact how a person functions on a daily basis. It’s hard to go through the chores and responsibilities of a job when there are scary memories butting into your thoughts or if you feel like you need to watch out for danger around every corner.
Things like depression and low mood, difficulty interacting with others, substance use, and avoiding triggers that remind you of trauma can all impact your ability to do a job well, if at all. For too many people living with PTSD, it is not possible to work while struggling with its symptoms and complications.
Some people do continue to work and are able to function for a period of time. They may have milder symptoms or be more able to hide their negative emotions and thoughts from others. They may also have more difficulties alone or when at home at night. But, eventually, without treatment the symptoms will only get worse, function will deteriorate, and even these high-functioning individuals will no longer be able to hold down a job.
There is hope, though, because the symptoms of PTSD don’t have to last forever. If you engage in dedicated treatment, you can process trauma in a healthy, productive way. Treatment can restore function and allow you to work and support yourself again.
The most important thing anyone with PTSD can do is get treatment. Trauma-focused therapies, along with family support, medical care and medications when appropriate, social skills training, and other types of treatment can improve and ultimately restore function.
Because PTSD is so debilitating, many people benefit from intensive treatment in a residential setting. Here you can get a complete diagnosis, including any co-occurring conditions, and individualized treatment from a multidisciplinary team.
The main type of PTSD treatment is trauma-focused therapies. Experts in trauma disorders will guide you through the process of safely facing your memories of past events. They will help you learn how to control those memories, recognize and manage triggers, and change negative patterns in your thoughts and behaviors.
A good treatment plan will also include specific strategies for improving function. This may include working on social interactions and skills, job training, family therapy, and education, and relational counseling. All of this together will eventually allow you to function at work again, which means restored independence.
“My symptoms from PTSD had gotten so bad that I got fired from my job. I thought one of my coworkers was the man who assaulted me years ago. I panicked and nearly hit him. Clearly, I was unable to interact normally or safely, so I finally decided to go into treatment. After a couple of months of focused therapy and learning to face my past I was able to go back to work at a different job. I haven’t forgotten what happened to me, but the flashbacks are gone and I no longer feel so uncomfortable around other people.” —Gale M.
“One of my biggest problems with PTSD was that everything scared me. When my car broke down and I couldn’t afford to fix it, I had to take the bus to work. It became obvious that this wouldn’t be possible. Everything about riding the bus, including the sounds and smells as well as being close to other people, was terrifying. I stopped going to work simply because I couldn’t get there. After treatment at a residential center, I finally stopped being afraid. I went through therapy, but they also helped me practice daily, normal things like talking to strangers and, yes, riding the bus.” —Dante S.
“Dealing with memories of being abused as a child triggered PTSD and caused severe depression. I found I felt so bad about life and about myself that I didn’t care about anything anymore. At work, I couldn’t focus on tasks and my performance reviews went downhill fast. My boss was really understanding, but she said I needed to do something about it, and I knew she was right. I went to treatment and came out with better control over my moods. I found a medication that works for me, and I started learning that I was victimized. I was not to blame for what happened to me. My nightmares have mostly gone away, and my boss brought me back on board.” —Shannon M.
Working while struggling with PTSD is often impossible. This is why it is so important to take some time out of your life to engage in dedicated treatment. Being able to focus solely on healing from trauma will allow you to recover more quickly and get back to work and a life you love.

Media captionPrime Minister David Cameron: "We believe in helping families"
David Cameron says he will create 600,000 extra free childcare places if he is returned to power next month.
The prime minister said Labour had a "brass neck" to claim they were on the side of ordinary working families.
Under the £350m Conservative plans, the amount of state-subsidised childcare for three and four year-olds would be doubled to 30 hours a week.
Labour said it was "another unfunded announcement", accusing the Conservatives of "desperation".
The Liberal Democrats said the plans "ignore working families with the youngest children".
BBC political correspondent Carole Walker said Mr Cameron was attempting to switch the focus of the campaign to one of his party's key announcement after several days dominated by warnings about the SNP and a future Labour government.
The party is likely to face questions about how it would ensure sufficient childcare places are available, she added.
Currently, all three and four-year olds in England are entitled to 570 hours of free early education or childcare a year, which works out as 15 hours each week for 38 weeks of the year.
The Conservatives said the 30-hour offer from 2017, announced a week ago, would result in more than 600,000 extra 15-hour free childcare places every year.
They said the proposal would be funded by reducing tax relief on pension contributions.
Labour has pledged 25 hours of free childcare a week and the Liberal Democrats 20 hours, although both parties also plan to extend the offer to younger children.
Mr Cameron said his government inherited a "shocking" situation, "where couples were spending as much on childcare as one of them took home in earnings".
He added that "for many second earners, work didn't pay because the cost of childcare was so high".
A Conservative government would expand on the changes made in the last Parliament, Mr Cameron said.
"If you're a working parent with one child you can rest assured that by the time they're three they'll be able to go to nursery for 30 hours a week completely free," Mr Cameron said.
"And we have legislated also for tax free childcare for anything outside that - so if you spend ten thousand pounds on childcare you'll get two thousand pounds back for each child."
But Labour's shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said: "Hard-working families will not be fooled by the £600m gap in funding for this policy, as announced last week."
He said Labour had a "better plan" including a "guarantee of access" to childcare between 08:00 and 18:00 for primary age children.
And Liberal Democrat equalities minister Jo Swinson said: "Tory plans for childcare ignore working families with the youngest children, which could leave some parents locked out of the labour market for years on end."
She said her party would extend early-years education to all two-year-olds and ensure free childcare support kicked in as soon as paid parental leave ended for working mums and dads.
"This will help with the cost of childcare and ensure working parents have a genuine choice about when to return to work," she added.
The UK Independence Party says it will continue to fund the current free 15-hour a week childcare scheme and in-coming tax-free childcare scheme - although they would de-regulate childcare provision "to address the shortage places and cut the cost to both parents and the state".

The YOYO+ can be folded down with one hand and carried easily with the strap provided. It is so compact that it can fit as hand luggage in the overhead compartment on a plane, coming in at only 52 x 44 x 18 cm in size when folded. This is super convenient for parents who need to save on space in any circumstance and it only weighs around 6.2kg.

This document is not written by me, but participated in the process along with others. I am a signatory to the declaration. I urge you to consider thinking about the issues raised and even if you agree with at least 80%, consider adding your signature. Please continue to participate in the dialogue to create a sustainable creative commons.
We can no longer put off re-thinking the economic structures that have been producing, financing and funding culture up until now. Many of the old models have become anachronistic and detrimental to civil society. The aim of this document is to promote innovative strategies to defend and extend the sphere in which human creativity and knowledge can prosper freely and sustainably.
This document is addressed to policy reformers, citizens and free/libre culture activists to provide them practical tools to actively operate this change. Read the full documents from the links given below.
In order to develop and grow, the human capacity for creativity requires access to existing culture, knowledge and information. Everyone can contribute to the production of culture, values and wealth on different scales, ranging from very basic to very complex creative contributions. The resources and time required for creative activities also vary in scale. We want to promote ways of liberating this time and these resources so that the distributed potential can be deployed in a sustainable way.
The restructuration of the cultural industries is not only necessary but inevitable.
More culture is created and circulates in the digital era than ever before: in this context sharing has proved to be essential to the disseminate culture.
The profits that the cultural lobbies are fighting to defend are based on the artificial production of scarcity.
The cultural sphere needs to recognise the skills and contributions of all of its agents, not only producers.
The digital context benefits creators as well as entrepreneurs and civil society. Appropriate models make it easier for users, consumers and producers to gain access to each other. The role of middle-men has to be revised in light of an approach based on collaboration.
The Internet is an essential tool for establishing contact between creators and their audiences. This is one of the reasons why everybody must be guaranteed non-discriminatory access to it.
Governments that don’ t promote the new forms of creation and diffusion of culture are generating lost profits for society and destroying its cultural diversity.
As Free/Libre Software has shown, peer production and distribution are not incompatible with market strategies and commercial distribution.
The following list starts with the models that are most similar to those traditionally accepted by the cultural industries, and moves towards those that are closer to the idea of sharing that pertains to our age. Many of these models are currently actively implemented and are already working. We need to expand these conditions by removing barriers that limit their growth.
Or some advice for the restructuring of the cultural industries: the public is prepared to pay for cultural products or goods as long as they deem the price to be reasonable and paying does not restrict their freedom. Make it easy and accessible; make it affordable; don’ t make it compulsory, static and criminalised, make it optional and offer choice. Pay fair wages when you contract professional work.
Freemium is a business model that works by offering basic services, or a basic downloadable digital product, for free, while charging a premium for advanced or special features.
A contribution-based model enables users to donate sums of money in order to help sustain a given project or enterprise. The more involved and respected users feel, the better this system works.
Enabling individual citizens or entities to contribute to a cultural enterprise by becoming stakeholders. This contribution can take the form of an investment before the work has been created, or via micro or macro credits or donations towards existing works.
The providers of commercial platforms for cooperation share their revenues with the creators who produce the material that makes their services valuable, while commoners are able to freely share and exploit the commons.
A flat-rate on internet connections can be consider only if it implies an equitable and democratic resource- pooling system and recognizes citizens rights to share and re-use works freely.
When connecting the issue of free culture to visions of large-scale social transformations in capitalistic economies, the basic income idea propose to sustain the society as a productive body. A guaranteed basic income is a way to avoid precarity and redistribute economic wealth.
We believe that in the context of a society of tax payers, culture must receive a share of public investment due to its undeniable social value. Social funding should not be seen as a substitute for public responsibilities in relation to the funding of culture and Free/Libre culture should not constitute an anomaly.
Publicly funded works should be released, after a reasonable commercial life span, for circulation on digital networks so that the public who paid for them can access and re-use them.
Tax deductions should promote micro-funding and the release of works without restrictive licences.
The public should have the option to contribute to deciding how this public investment in culture is shared out.
Alternative distribution channels should be encouraged. Cultural policies must work towards achieving greater cultural diversity and sustainable collaboration platforms.
Networks of independent producers, distributors and authors should be supported, and they should be represented on public broadcasting.
Impact statements should be a prerequisite for the introduction of any new cultural policy. We must analyze the effects that proposed regulations would have on on the cultural and knowledge commons before they are implemented.
The new business models that consider collective production as a context that needs to be nurtured and safeguarded, and not simply as a context to exploit, are based on the premise that cooperation is compatible with market dynamics. The most evocative practical examples stem from free software communities. The “output” is shared under non-restrictive licences, allowing third parties to use and modify it as long as the same freedoms are obligatorily applied to derived works. This creates a commons that is constantly improved by successive contributions, while not preventing the commercial exploitation of the knowledge and skills arising from them and of the works themselves.
Users become generators of value, and join a virtuous circle of production and consumption that they benefit from.
Meanwhile, in this new context, it is necessary to defend, promote and implement the conditions that enable online collaboration.
Embroiled in a different logic, the traditional cultural industries want to keep feeding off collective production, without responding to the collaborative logic that is now current thanks to the Internet. These industries try to keep imposing appropriation frameworks onto the commons, becoming entrenched in a predatory idea of culture (the economy of scarcity), which is totally at odds with the philosophy of free culture (the economy of abundance).

Even a designer as busy as Suzanne Kasler welcomes time to unwind, when the holidays usher in a joyous time to indulge. So what better way to entertain this luxury–and commemorate a career milestone for this discerning doyenne–than the St. Regis holiday Tea?
Designer Suzanne Kasler has had quite a year—jet-setting to projects across the country; designing collections for Visual Comfort, Hickory Chair and Safavieh; and, currently, developing a line of fabrics for Lee Jofa. But perhaps the most important milestone of her year and, arguably, her career, is the arrival of her new design book. Inspired Interiors ($50, Rizzoli Publishing) was recently released, just in time for the holidays. Comprising more than 200 color photographs of past projects and spanning 20 years of work, the retrospective reveals, in stunning detail, why the principal of Suzanne Kasler Interiors is so acclaimed for her classic approach that embraces livable comfort, a mix of antiques and eras, dressmaker details and European style.
As always with Suzanne Kasler and her cadre, no detail goes overlooked—which is why they chose the St. Regis Holiday Tea as the perfect setting to celebrate the book’s arrival. Continuing customs started by the St. Regis more than a century ago, when John Jacob Astor IV established the American hotel to be as opulent as those in Europe, the afternoon tea retains the essence of that bygone era. Served in front of a limestone ﬁreplace amid stylish seating, plush rugs, glittering lights and crystal, and towering ceilings, the daily event offers all the comfort and elegance of a beautiful Buckhead home.
“There’s a great energy at the St. Regis, and tea time is such a good way to punctuate the end of a day or the week,” says the designer. “It’s a special time for reﬂection, when the day can come to a pause, creating an atmosphere that’s both engaging and civilized.
Arriving on a Friday afternoon in their most festive attire, the group gathered for a spread of treats as beautiful as they were delectable: tiered trays laden with sweet vanilla panna cotta and peppermint gelee; double-chocolate sea salt cookies with red and green sprinkles; shortbread “window” cookies ﬁlled with cranberry jam; freshly baked scones; and savory ﬁnger sandwiches like duck-prosciutto with baby arugula and parmesan, chicken curry with cucumber and truffle mayo, and smoked salmon with caper-dill cream. With no fewer than 15 blends of international teas to choose from—including the signature St. Regis Atlanta variety, a refreshing peach-infused black tea—guests took in the aromas of each from tiny tester bottles before selecting their favorites which, once pressed, ranged in color from warm amber to rich brown. The ﬁnest accoutrements were offered alongside: a variety of honeys, tangy lemon slices, seasonal jams, chutneys and traditional clotted cream, all enjoyed by a warm and toasty ﬁre—one of four in the Long Gallery overlooking the lobby’s grand curving double staircases. And for this Holiday Tea, there was an added touch: a round of ﬂutes ﬁlled with sparkling wine could be heard clinking with the happy toasts of success.
For Kasler and her talented cohorts, an occasion as significant as the launch of her new book called for a truly indulgent holiday treat. Crafted under the direction of St. Regis Atlanta pastry chef Ryan Wells, the group enjoyed a mélange of sweets and savories as part of a cheery Holiday Tea that made the transition to the weekend—and a more festive time of year—that much more fun. This seasonal St. Regis tradition remains true to the legacy set up by the Astors more than a century ago, when the family and their hotels were synonymous with exclusivity, elegance and grace.

Foreign Element is Mystic Ages' very own science fiction game. The old version was available from here: http://www.actionroll.com/fe, but I am not sure if that URL is working anymore. In any event, I have a new PDF of the latest copy w/ updated material and rules. I'd love to hear comments about it here in the forum.
The overall theme of the game is -- "The players must create their own opportunities to survive." I am not giving the GM any "powers" to aid the players. But, the players have "powers" to aid themselves. Of course, I am going to focus on that theme in future rough drafts. This sort of drifts along with the idea that the heroes are in a tough, hostile world and won't get any breaks. If they want to survive, they must take the initiative.
So anyone have any good mechanic suggestions to bring out this feel in play? I already have Special Effects and Dealing With Wounds. How about some sort of mechanic which allows the players to trump problems with their own answers? I don't know. Any thoughts are welcome.
I'd love to hear comments about it here in the forum.
What do you mean by "Second, chunk the dice." on page 8? Do you really mean "chuck"?
Another on page 9: "The only drawback to Luck is that a hero cannot gain them back organically." Do you really mean that once Luck points are used, they only return at the rate of one per mission?
Perhaps a grammar check would be a good idea?
Armor on page 10 is described badly as adding to the hero's life points, when instead armour merely reduces damage by it's rating or armour value.
If a player can only have 50 points to spend on equipment, why is there equipment which costs 100 points?
If the player chooses to have their PC "find" expensive points cost gear (with a good roll), do the points have effect in game play? Wouldn't it be easier and better to describe gear as being worth a price (in dollars or credits) rather than game system "points"?
Superficially, it would seem easier to use, say, GURPS to run the suggested setting. What make Foreign Element a better system?
I was typing this rough draft in a program w/o the grammar check stuff. It isn't edited yet.
And yes, I mean what I mean there... It may seem "harsh" or "wrong", but I don't intend this game as a longterm type game -- more of a -- if you survive the first mission, you probably won't survive the next. Brave souls facing overwhelming odds in space.
The other way I could see it would be to encourage folks to spend their luck points in the game -- instead of saving them. The current way may encourage them to hold out on them -- frugal thinking. So maybe I should it change so that you must spend all of your luck points by the end of the adventure or you will lose the remainder -- the ones you spent you get back + 1 new one... Sound interesting?
Armor: It does just add to the heroes life points. Think Unreal Tournament as opposed to a roleplaying game. You get armor, you get hit, and your armor is reduced but gives your life points a break.
Equipment Points: I might add a little chart that gives the GM more options in giving starting points -- like, if it is a mission to save a bunch of corporate fat cats on a distant vacation world, they might be given better equipment, more weapons, and so on. The base start is to assume a sort of investigation mission where the heroes are given a bit of help but are essentially on their own. That is a good hole there I missed.
Wow. Great bits of stuff.
If you want, run the setting with GURPS or another system -- I don't mind. This came out of an initial rough draft that was 4 pages long. I don't think it is great enough to be sold, but hey -- it might be fun for a free download. I just want to fill it out a little bit and make it a nice little tight scifi game of joy.
I can speak as an authority on this issue. I spent my basic training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. And, yes, "chunk" is Okie for throw. They also tend to use a lot of other similar okieisms like "hunker" and "yonder". As in "Let's go ta yonder tree and hunker down 'neeth er". Hunkering being a distinctly Okie tradition where a circle of men will crouch down, some on one knee, but all about at that level. Not sure what it's about, but it sure is creepy.
All sorta true, but just kidding.
Hey, where I'm from in SE Wisconsin, a drinking fountain is a "bubbler". And if you're not boiling your brats in beer before cooking 'em you're doing it all wrong.
Or how about this: Keep track of the character's completed missions, at the start of each session, the character gets Luck Points equal to Luck + # of completed missions. These points may be spent during the session, and do not accumulate between sessions.

Treliver Windows are in ST. AUSTELL Cornwall. So, you’ve finished your research, chosen your double glazing firm, chosen your home windows, negotiated the absolute best deal and you’ve had the decision to verify an set up date. What are you able to count on?
Assuming in fact that you’ve chosen one of the many reliable double glazing corporations, then you must count on the group of installers to reach on time or to call you to let you realize they are running late. You need to be ready for the work to take from 1-three days (on common), depending on the size of the windows and the number being installed.
Earlier than the arrival of your team of installers, you must have cleared any furniture from across the window space, and moved any valuables. The work may be dusty, so it is a good idea to pack small items away. The installers should convey their very own dust sheets to cowl the area they’ll be working in.
The first thing the contractors will need to do is to take away the outdated windows. This can be noisy work but is usually over pretty quickly. The truth is, eradicating the outdated windows is commonly the simplest a part of the work.
Once the previous home windows have been removed, they need to be taken away by your double glazing company for disposal. If there is any purpose you need to keep them yourself, then it’s best to let them know. Give Treliver Windows a call for help.
The following part of the installation course of is to safe the brand new frames. That is done through the use of very lengthy screws direct into the bricks surrounding the window. In fact not each home is built with bricks and any particular fixings required should have been famous when the survey was achieved by the company earlier than they ordered or manufactured your windows.
As soon as the frames are in place, the sealed items are fastened to the frames. The final part of the installation is to seal around the edges of the frames with mastic and to make good any plasterwork around the window. The making good could be very unlikely to cover wallpaper and paint although so it’s not a good idea to decorate a room prior to installing new windows!
Earlier than the team depart, they should clear up any mess and clear the windows. They need to additionally ask you to examine the work before you leave. You ought to be left with effectively-becoming new double glazed windows, and a clear home.

You might be surprised to find out that limestone is much more common than most people realize. In fact, it is in a lot of places and can be used ofr a lot of purposes. Taking a little bit of time to consider some uses for this natural stone can prove to be beneficial. That is what we will do in this article. Along the way, we'll take a look at some of the forms that this material takes and what it means to take care of limestone.
Limestone is basically, formed mainly of skeletal fragments of marine organisms. The major minerals that that compose limestone are clacite and argonite. These two minerals are crystal forms of calcium carbonate. The high content of calcium carbonate is what makes this natural stone similar to marble. In fact, marble is a metamorphic rock that is transformed from limestone. This makes caring for limestone very much like maintaining marble. But first, what is limestone used for?
You may never have realized that limestone has been used for that many functions or purposes. Yet, limestone tiles, slabs and panels can be found in a variety of environments; serving a number of uses. With limestone appearing so ubiquitously in architecture, it makes sense to consider how to clean this popular stone used for flooring, countertops, and even limestone steps.
As mentioned previously in this article, limestone is composed of the same minerals as marble. As a result, cleaning limestone could be described in much the same way as marble cleaning is described. Additionally, because of the calcium carbonate in limestone, it is good to understand some basics about stain removal as well. Let's consider some of these cleaning procedures, now.
If you are looking to clean limestone surfaces inside your home, there are products for cleaning limestone and removing stains here on Lustro Italiano. Now that we have taken a look at how to clean limestone, what about removing stains?
At times, people hear or read that bleach is a good limestone stain remover. However, there are things to consider if your thinking about limestone stain removal. The Natural Stone Institute recommends specific action for certain kinds of stains. By following the recommended process, you can determine which type of stain you have and use the appropriate removal product for that kind of stain.
Much like marble, limestones stains come in various forms. There are acidic stains, oil based stains, stains that discolor limestone. How to get stains out of limestone depends on what kind of stain it is. Let's look at a couple of types and see what to use on each kind.
Contaminants such as salad dressing, cooking oil, etc. sit on a natural stone long enough, it absorbs into the pores of the stone. This causes a stain or "darkening" of the affected areas. If the substance that stained the surface is oil based, using our stain remover poultice powder can be an effective way to lift the stain from your limestone surface. In other cases though, as we will see, you might need a different solution for acidic stains.
A limestone stain is very similar to a marble stain because the materials both contain calcite. When an acidic substance comes into contact with calcite, it "eats it" or dissolves it. If the limestone surface is polished, acids that sit on the material's surface will cause a dull spot to appear on the surface. This dull spot is called and "etch".
You may have learned about etching when reading about marble. The same thing can happen to polished limestone. Floors, tiles, or countertops that have a polished finish can show etching very easily. For limestone stains that are etched or for etching in limestone, we offer our etch remover.

This morning my mom has to go into the hospital.
She is getting an angiogram done in order to check up on her burst aneurysm/coil, as well as look at the two other existing aneurysms in her brain.
Hopefully all will be well and they won't have to repair anything.
It's all a little nerve wracking.
and hopeful for good results from her angiogram.
If you could send up a little prayer for her today, I'd certainly appreciate it!

I have to be the 1800th person to tell you, “Dress for the job you want”. It may sound cliché, but it’s absolutely true. Style and grace are eternal, but fashion is always changing…however, business attire have not really changed much. Over the decades, work styles have typically shared these four characteristics: somewhat conservative, flattering, tailored and comfortable. Your work styles can even be aspirational, meaning they allow you to dress for career woman that you are working to be.
Although the tasteful above the knee skirt and bare legs can work, some of you are breaking the workplace dress code. It’s key that your work attire look as if you’re coming to work, not the club. At StyleFollowsHer.com, we urge you to take pride in your appearance. First impressions are lasting impressions.
Glamour.com recently published “4 Work Style Rules Just as Relevant Now as They Were 50 Years Ago” inspired by Edith Head one of the most iconic costumers ever. The rules of style and fashion are still relevant today as they were 50 years ago.
Here are a few of my fav work styles for today’s #StyleFollowsHer modern woman. I hope these come to mind the next time you ask yourself, “What to wear to work today?” For more style idea for the professional woman, retail websites from Express and Kohl’s have at-work style sections dedicated to helping you find business attire that fits your style, budget and of course, helps you dress for the job you want!

I have defined all these tutorials as long beading projects. So, these are things that you can really get your teeth into!
As you can imagine, it hasn’t been easy to categorise my beading tutorials in this way. So, I have taken long beading projects to mean those that will take more than 8 hours to complete.
Of course, within this category, I have quite a bit of variation. Some of the necklaces are just projects that have lots of components. So, by the time you calculate how long it takes to make each component. Then, add on assembly time. This comes to something close to 8 hours.
At the other end of the scale, my Advent calendar took about 60 hours to make.
I have decided on the categorisation based on my own experience. So, bear in mind, I am an experienced beader. I bead fairly fast and I am confident in all the techniques. You might need to make adjustments if you differ from this!

The first 31 days of 2012 have not been good for India. Report #1: India is drowning in its own sewage. Report #2: 42% of children under 5 are considered malnourished. Report #3: 68% of the nation’s milk is considered adulterated. And this last week the final blow, report #4: India has the most toxic air in the world. If this was a health report, the nation may anticipate cardiac arrest by summer.
Actually this last report is part of a greater report on the world’s environmental performance index or EPI. “Environmental performance index” sounds more like a report card, and actually it is a global environmental mark sheet, evaluating the overall environmental health and ecological status of 132 countries. And overall India ranks 8th… from the bottom and, as stated above, last in terms of air quality. So talk about getting hit while you’re already down. Why yet another blow at the start of 2012? Can India take multiple global pies in the face? Is this a national wakeup call or maybe just another toss in the hat with hardly a… “meh”?
Well, all reports come with their spin. Take #1: Excreta in India’s rivers is nothing new and for multiple reasons this scientific fact does not seem to phase many people. I’ve personally interviewed many people and especially in conservative communities along the Ganges River. People readily embrace the science as well as drink the water. One boatman told me, “When I’m thirsty I just push away the garbage and take a drink.” This may seem like a shock to some people, but it’s not out of the ordinary for people to rebel against environmental science. Look at Americans and climate change.
Take #2: 42% of malnutrition is probably lower than before; it’s just that politicians are now making a case of it. In fact the EPI shows that India is improving in areas such as environmental health, though presently it is still not up to acceptable standards. The EPI report confirms a correlation between increased EPI and level of development. This may be due to improved health overall of people in developed nations. And in developing nations like India, though air pollution can reach up to atrocious levels, it is access to advanced medicines and treatment that keep the population alive.
Take #3: About milk… same thing… nothing new. Before this report came out, I saw a milkman come to my building, take a hose from my building’s faucet, stick it into his large metal milk container and fill it up half way full, effectively diluting his milk to a full container. This was all in broad daylight. Nothing new. Bihar which had 100% adulteration called the report false, while Delhi emphasized the fact that their milk was adulterated but not necessarily harmful. I don’t know what to do -- either laugh or cry.
And so I ask, “What’s all this mess about anyway? Why are we here?” Is it the corruption and useless politians? Is it neo-colonialism from America? Is it the World Bank? Is it over population? Is it the perceptual disconnect between scientific and religious understandings? Is it a poverty mentality of hopelessness? Is it just the growing pains of development we all need to go through? Is it all of the above?
Who knows? Who actually knows? No one, really. I mean, organizations throw billions in multiple directions and still (1) foul rivers, (2) malnutrition, (3) unsafe food and (4) toxic air. Still maybe it’s not an issue of things getting worse. Actually it may be just that all that we hear is the bad stuff. This leads me to think about Wangari Maathai, Nobel Peace Prize winner. Somehow she saw the nexus between land, water, food and the poor and put herself in the middle of that storm and calmed it down. I have doubts that she was a perfect messiah, but one thing that I can’t say about her -- she never said, “Meh.” And for that, I salute her.

This roundtable is organized as part of the “Think Globally Develop Locally” project, which is a four-year UNDP regional project managed by the UNDP Bratislava Regional Centre (UNDP BRC) and implemented in partnership with selected UNDP Country Offices and the Network of Associations of Local Authorities of South-East Europe (NALAS). TGDL supports leadership on climate change issues at national, local, and community levels, and capacity development for local governments and communities to take appropriate action with support by their national government. In the first year of the project, the three beneficiaries are Macedonia, Moldova, and Kosovo, but the intention is to expand to other countries in future years.

Annual reports of your competitors are a storehouse of useful information. Once a year your competitors themselves reveal their cards for you – you just have to be able to read it.
How can they make such low prices?
What are their plans for the next year?
In what markets they operate most successfully?
Where exactly you should optimize your costs?
How else you could improve the results of your company?
Which competitors could be available for sale and what could be the approximate price?
250 € + 100 € for each analyzed company (+ VAT 21%).
To analyze your competitors, until their financial data is not out of date and to gain a comprehensive view of how to improve the results of your business – call us at +371 28611461 or email to info@agcapital.eu.
We are sure that you read these lines and think to yourself: “Anyway my competitors make some accounting tricks and do not show the whole profit. Such analysis does not make any sense for my company. ” However, the experience of our customers tells us that in such cases, You can find out more than you could imagine.
The analysts of AG Capital for many years have been working with financial data of companies from different industries. In each sector we have gained in-depth knowledge and experience being able to understand the business behind the numbers. Just as Sherlock Holmes clings to the smallest detail to unravel the complicated case, we evaluate all the nuances available, comparing the various data from different parts of the annual report to each other to get the real picture of what is happening in the business of your competitors.
An example from practice: One of the companies we analyzed, showed good profitability (around 15% of turnover) and liquidity (cash balance – more than one million euros). At first glance it might seem that this is a great business, a strong competitor for our customer.
However, after noticing some strange data in the annual repot appendices, we came to some interesting conclusions. We saw that some of the costs do not appear in the financial report, that cash balances are by a great extent just a fiction and that the actual profit of the analyzed company was estimated to be close to zero. Accordingly, our client was able to adjust its operation strategy, not trying to copy the strategy of the competitor, which he was considering as as very successful before the analysis.

text: Vanessa Workman is a PhD student of archaeology at Bar-Ilan University. Her research centers on humanity's exploration of new materials and objects through technologies in ancient crafts and production. Vanessa investigates technological and sociocultural aspects of early iron production in the southern Levant, the way in which new metalworking practices manifested within the various societies that existed in the region in the 10-9th centuries BCE. This is accomplished through the examination of artifacts, byproducts and production debris found within excavations of ancient metal workshops. Using macro- and micro-archaeological approaches, she explores the modes in which cultures adopted new and complex metal technologies affected by factors such as cultural traditions, environmental conditions, and trade relations.

When not to use Portals ?
When do portlets make the most sense?
customizations are stored relative to the actual portlet application.
the JSF library so that themes and skins can utilize this UI framework.
widgets that portlets might use.
Wow. Really in-depth and insightful. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

I appreciate the links to the mentioned frameworks also.
I would say that the title is misleading. A more appropriate title would be WebSphere Portal & Web frameworks. This would saved me some time.
portlet WAR file name is used as the portlet application ID.
? For IBM portlets, the portlet application ID is the UID attribute of the element. This attribute is required.
The following example shows both ways to find an object ID.
There is a new Portal Search Box and Search Center portlets that presents a search box on every portal page. When the users enter a search string and click Search, the portal takes them to the new Search Center portlet and applies the search criteria and shows them the search results.
Another, new development is the Portal Search can be assigned to external/internal web sites. Portal Search allows crawling and indexing portal pages. The crawler can fetch and index all pages with portlets to which it has access rights. This way you can enable users to search those pages. You can define which portlets on which pages you want to make searchable. You can do this by granting the required access permissions to the crawler user.
Another feature is limiting the search results based on the user privileges. Each individual search collection is now a separate portal resource. You can give users access permissions on them and thereby make different search sources available to different users or user groups. This applies to all search collections. For example, in the Search Center users see only the tabs for those search collections to which they have access.
Some of the drawbacks, I encoutered is the lack of availability of search features for anonymous users. Also, settings up the search with results in mulitple languages is very tedious. The whole crawlong and cataloging of the pages and documents takes too long.

Twelve people were killed when a motorboat carrying more than 90 passengers capsized inside the Hirakud reservoir on Mahanadi river near Sambalpur town in western Odisha Sambalpur district on Sunday evening.
The death toll is expected to go up, as around 7-10 more people are still missing, said official sources.
A search operation had been initiated to search for these people. According to state Special Relief Commissioner (SRC) Pradipta Mohapatra, majority of the passengers in the ill-fated boat belonged to a picnic party.
“The boat was overloaded with passengers, majority of whom belonged to the local Lion’s Club in Sambalpur, and had gone for a picnic,” said Mohapatra, adding that the 10 bodies had already been recovered and identified.
The deceased included a few women and a child. The SRC said a rescue operation had already been launched by the local fire brigade and a unit of the Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) stationed in Sambalpur.
“The Sambalpur District Collector and other senior officials are on the spot supervising the rescue operation,” said Mohapatra.
The senior official informed that the ODRAF team had already been asked to use divers to search for the missing persons on Monday morning, if necessary.
Though Mohapatra said only 7-10 people were still missing, unofficial sources claimed nearly 40 passengers in the ill-fated motorboat were yet to be found.
The Hirakud reservoir, which happens to be the biggest dam in the state, has a number of smaller islands inside it. People regularly visit these islands for picnics.
There is also a wildlife sanctuary on the other side of the reservoir and visitors often cross the reservoir by boat to visit the sanctuary.

Thursdays are for thankfulness. I have thirty three minutes to go. I've known all day that it was time for a post. Sigh.
I remember a comment made by a Kenyan friend the first time he saw snow: "Oh, I thought something big was going to happen." So, yep, that's what I've been waiting for all day long. Not snow, (nor rain either!) But something big. Or something really obvious. Impressive even. Maybe deeply spiritual. But no. I am left with "Be thankful for this moment, this moment is your life." And so I will list a few moments from recent days.
-I'm thankful that all days come to an end.
-I'm thankful that Max takes time every day to invest in the life of Youngest Mystery, helping him burn off energy even, (especially!) on dreary wet days.
I'm thankful for the time I had to make jelly today. Many of my canning/preserving projects fell by the wayside this summer. I had steamed some fat, juicy blackberries a month ago and canned the juice. Today, jelly! I'm thankful too that I had lids and jars and sugar - for once I didn't need to make an emergency trip to the store with jelly stains on my shirt.
-I'm thankful for half a dozen steaming ears of fresh sweet corn on the supper table tonight, a(nother) gift from our Amish neighbors.

Between 2014-2016 the UK public sector published a total spend of £953.9m with Serco, the outsourcing giant. However, there was a year on year spend increase of only 0.9%, below the rate of inflation, echoing the problems Serco has had in the public sector.
With orders now at their highest since 2012,10 we’ll be monitoring the government’s transaction data to see how this is reflected in 2017’s spend.

The Supreme Court in Garcetti v. Ceballos, 547 U.S. 410 (2006), ruled that public employees do not have a First Amendment protection for speech issued as part of their official duties.
California prosecutor Richard Ceballos alleged that his employer had retaliated against him after he criticized the handling of a search warrant affidavit that he believed contained untruthful statements by a sheriff’s deputy. Ceballos claimed that his transfer to a less-desirable position and office location were a direct result of his critical speech in a memo, his testimony at a suppression hearing, and a public speech he delivered at a conference.
A federal district court ruled that Ceballos had no First Amendment claim for speech delivered in the memo prepared as part of his routine job duties. A three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed in Ceballos v. Garcetti (2004), determining that Ceballos’s memo concerning lack of veracity by law enforcement officials constituted speech on a matter of public concern within the meaning of Pickering v. Board Education (1968). The appeals court concluded that Ceballos’s free speech rights trumped the district attorney’s efficiency interests.
The district attorney appealed to the Supreme Court, which reversed the Ninth Circuit in a 5-4 vote.
Breyer wrote a narrower dissent, in which he focused on the “special constitutional obligations” imposed upon prosecutors who must disclose any exculpatory evidence to the defense. To Breyer, prosecutors such as Richard Ceballos need “augmented” First Amendment protection when they speak out regarding possible governmental abuse.

103Rh 100% - Spontaneous fission ?
From Greek: rhodon - "rose"
Rh2+ is enriched in Ca-Al-rich inclusions in meteorites relative to the composition of the solar system.
This table compares the known valid mineral species listed listed with Rhodium and the other elements listed based on the official IMA formula. Note that unlike other sections on this page this includes non-essential elements.
The first data column contains the total number of minerals listed with Rhodium and the element listed for that row.
The second data column lists this number as a percentage of all minerals listed with Rhodium.
This list of minerals containing Rhodium is built from the mindat.org locality database. This is based on the number of localities entered for mineral species and is therefore slanted towards minerals interesting to collectors with less coverage of common rock-forming-minerals so it does not give an undistorted distribution of Rhodium mineral species. It is more useful when comparing rare species rather than common species.

Anxious. Uneasy. Restless. This is how some of those who work for publicly-funded institutions feel every time citizens go to the polls.
As Alberta heads into a provincial election next spring that could see a Jason Kenney-led UCP government takeover from the NDP, those advocating for mental health care spending are especially agitated.
Political pundit and Mount Royal University communications professor, David Taras, says there’s been a societal shift that has seen mental health emerge as a significant priority of the Notley government.
But that narrative, he says, can quickly change with a new governing party.
“All of that can be overturned by a government that wants to cut 20 per cent across the board,” says Taras, adding that Alberta has seen sharp cuts like this in the past when Ralph Klein was leader of the Progressive Conservatives in the early ‘90s in an effort to erase the government’s deficit and debt.
The Alberta NDP has committed to injecting $25.8 million in new mental health funding to Alberta’s 26 post-secondary institutions over three years.
Mount Royal’s share is split over two phases, with $465,000 to be spent between August 2017 and March 2019. The second phase, $280,000, hasn’t arrived as MRU must apply for it prior to December 2018.
Mirjam Knapik, Mount Royal Wellness Services counselling chair, says the three top personal issues regarding mental health for students are anxiety, stress and depression, followed by family origin and personal growth and wellness. Graphic by Stephanie Hagenaars.
Elected student representatives say any government, regardless of ideology, must maintain a commitment to mental health resources.
Amanda LeBlanc, Students’ Association of Mount Royal University vice president - external, and Shayla Breen, SAMRU VP student affairs, say they will continue their lobbying efforts to convey the importance of accessible mental health resources.
Kandi McElary, MRU’s director of Wellness Services, says the first phase of funding allowed the hiring of four new part-time counsellors who will likely be cut when the funding concludes in 2020.
There have been many other initiatives, such as the hiring of a mental health nurse and peer-led programs.
As an example, he says, a religious conservative may feel that it’s up to church, community and civic organizations to help, while those on the other side of the political spectrum may say the help should come from public institutions.
Mirjam Knapik, the chair of student counselling at Mount Royal, says because more supports are in place and because more people are talking openly about mental health, it is not surprising to see more students come through the door with ever-more complex problems, rooted in stress, anxiety and depression.
Taras also sees the stress playing out in the classroom.

The countdown is almost over – only two more days and then the UEFA EURO in Poland and Ukraine starts with the opening match in Warsaw between Poland and Greece. There are a lot of discussions about human rights around this EURO. Topics like the case of Julia Timoschenko or the recently broadcasted BBC-documentary which heated the debate about racism and anti-semitism in the host countries are well discussed in media.
At the same time the first ever Pride Parade in Ukraine should have taken place but was cancelled on short notice because of homophobic violence. Two LGBT-activists were beaten up brutally by ultra-right groups. Reason enough to turn a spotlight on the situation of LGBTIQ community in CEE countries (Central and Eastern European countries), and thats the focus of the Football for Equality-project.
The Euro Pride House in Poland is an initiative of the European Gay and Lesbian Sports Federation. It is meant to be a meeting point for LGBTIQs, to create safe spaces for queer fans that visit the EURO and who wish to celebrate football together.
The concept behind the Euro Pride House is to raise awareness of the involvement of LGBTIQ people in football as supporters and participants and to create a dialogue amongst football stakeholders on homophobia and transphobia particularly in Eastern Europe.
The launch of the Pride House will take place on Friday 8 June in Warsaw. Guests will include activists, football supporters, politicians and representatives from within football.
Throughout June Euro Pride House will screen matches, host a table football tournament and host a range of debates and networking events.
Also the exhibition Against the Rules - Lesbians and Gays in Sport will be shown in the Pride House in Polish language!
UEFA’s Respect Fan Culture project will support football fans throughout next summer's finals. With the collaboration of Football Supporters Europe (FSE), fan embassies will be set up in the eight host cities to serve as places where fans can seek assistance with last-minute travel and accommodation arrangements as well as aid in unforeseen circumstances. Supporters of participating countries will also have their own mobile fan embassies (12 teams) that will move from stadium to stadium. Fan guides and fanguide maps in 15 different languages will be produced.
This international Fans' Embassy project is organised by FSE - Football Supporters Europe.
Before the EURO workshops on discrimination, homophobia and racism have been organised for Fans´ Embassies´ staff together with the project partner EGLSF.
Within the printed and also within the online-fanguides there will me anti-discrimination sections which focus on problems of minorities, and what fans can expect and what safe behaviour is recommended, within th twei host countries Poland and Ukraine.
