How do we get feedback on our performance, and how do we make that feedback actionable? Patting ourselves or someone else on the back and saying, “Good job!”, when we both know it wasn’t doesn’t do anyone any good.
We need to be weighed in the balance. We need an honest evaluation of our performance, the bad with the good, in order to get better.
For me, it helps to have a partner or coach, or even better, a community of practice. I need people who watch me perform, who are knowledgeable in my area of performance, and whom I trust and can be vulnerable with.
It’s often hard to see ourselves in an objective light. It is helpful, if painful, to see our performance through the eyes of others.
At the same time watching them perform, or listening to their ideas of how an expert ought to perform, can teach us what to practice, how to practice, and how to perform better.
The pain of evaluation leads to the joy of success.
I’m not a big tennis fan, but the pictures I’ve seen of Roger Federer often make me stand still and take notice. The expression on his face while in full swing looks more calm and relaxed than that on a Buddha.
We admire those who have this kind of focus, but where does it come from? How do we get it?
There’s a scene in Glory where Matthew Broderick’s character is unimpressed with one of his soldiers fine marksmanship, and orders him to fire and reload while Broderick bangs away with his pistol and urges the man to work faster, faster, and faster.
I have heard of flight simulators that continually find new ways to put pressure on pilots, to confront them with difficult situations they’ve never seen before.
Maybe the experts take control of these situations by creating practice scenarios that require them to perform under difficult and distracting situations, rather than what is ideal.
I remember a story about a young man who wanted to learn how to be a samurai. So he sought out an old man reputed to be a master and the master agreed. But rather than teach him about fighting, the master bade the student do all sorts of chores for him, and then would sneak up unawares and give the student a whack with a cane.
Finally one day the student saw the master bent over a pot cooking a meal, and decided he would give the old man a taste of his own medicine. So he snuck up on him and brought the cane down on the old man’s head from behind, but the old man caught the blow with the lid from the pot – satori.
I have a really vivid imagination for things I dread, but not for things I want to happen, especially for the minutiae of life. I can’t imagine reviewing that astronaut’s matrix over and over in my mind the way he did.
I’ve been practicing yoga since I was a senior in high school, i.e., for over thirty years. And yet I don’t really feel like I’m any “better” now than when I began. At the same time, I’ve never really “visualized” myself going through a perfect yoga routine. What would that experience feel like? What would it look like through my eyes as I move from posture to posture?
I especially struggle with the balancing postures, even the most basic. But yesterday I tried to visualize in my mind’s eye what it would feel like to do the posture perfectly, and I did notice a difference.
Could I have been wrong?

The fact that Reebok is not willing to sponsor Athletes (only a few select ones), allows for us little guys to step up to the plate. Also, out of all the competitions we see, how many is Reebok actually involved in?? Smaller companies get involved in as many as we can. Reebok takes their pick. Not cool.
Whether you are a fan of Reebok, or not, I don't get why it is "not cool" that they get to pick the competitions or athletes they want to sponsor. I am sure they probably don't even know about 1/2 of the little events that various boxes put together during the "off-season." They are the name brand/title sponsor of The Games, so why would they even bother with the little regional events? Why would a "little guy" complain about Reebok NOT being involved? Make it yours, man! Do it right, put your stamp on it, and make a few bucks, or support your favorite charity!
If they want to throw their money behind something - and let's face it, they're the deepest pockets around CF now and for the foreseeable future - then don't you think they would like to have at least a modicum of control over it? If they don't, then the little guys get to run it as they see fit.
Maybe my opinion on the subject has changed over the past year. I was resistant to the idea of having Reebok come in and "make it theirs" with regard to the Games. However, I had some very productive chats (email and telephone) with CFHQ and Reebok in the lead up to last year's Games, and I attended the Games and was able to see it first hand. I thought they did a really good job overall - yes, there were some issues, but I am pretty sure they will work out most of those bugs for this year's event.

Nah, I just finally got a job that allows me to browse the web more and post more. I'm defintiely getting more involved in this thing now.
And the other posts were specific to discussion of people asking about apparel anyways.
But I'm being serious though. In this subject, I could care less if Reebok gets involved. And we're barely starting out. (I secretly like their shoes).
I just feel bad sometimes for the Athletes they leave out. They don't sponsor or pay at all for these guys (except for a select few), and that is all these athletes do. I just wish they could help out a little bit in that sense.
As far as events, I'm pretty sure they could get involved a little more. There's comps everywhere, you can't miss them. Heck, all you gotta do is stay on facebook for 30 minutes, and you'll hear about one.
But believe me, I LOVE that they're involved. It helps us small guys stand a chance because people are not really fond of paying $100 hoody. lol.

Domestic Violence charges can have life altering consequences for those accused. While this is a very sensitive issue to a lot of Texans, it is important that if you or a loved one has been accused of domestic violence, you must hire the right attorney to represent you on theses very serious charges.
Many who are arrested for Domestic violence have never been arrested before. Often individuals who are arrested for Domestic Violence are left with their relationship with their significant other in shambles, the prospect of losing their job, and child protective services may be involved. Aside from the devastation in their personal life, they are also a stranger to the criminal justice system and may not know entirely what they are facing.
If you or a loved one has been arrested for Domestic Violence, it is important that you contact a lawyer who is experienced and will guide you through this difficult terrain, while defending you against these serious charges.

Kombu (or Konbu), is a sort of dried kelp (which is a sort of sea-weed) used in many Japanese cuisines including sushi. Kombu is considered to be an important ingredient in creating Umami (savouriness). You probably already know that Umami is a loanword from Japanese meaning “good flavor” or “good taste”.
How to use Kombu in sushi?
When preparing the sushi rice, just before you turn up the heat or start the rice cooker, throw in a small piece of Kombu. About 5 by 5 cm of Kombu should do for an average 3 cups rice batch. It is helpful at this point to make slits in one or more sides of the Kombu to help release its flavors.
Where can I get me some Kombu?
As in most sushi ingredients, you can find Kombu in your local Asian food store or Japanese market. This product is also available on our online store and through the link below.

Miswak, also known as sewak is nature's own toothbrush, used for centuries in Middle Eastern & African societies as a natural method for cleaning teeth. Recommended by World Health Organisation (WHO) for its dental hygiene benefits, it's a natural alternative to abrasive toothbrushes and toothpastes, providing complete oral hygiene and a great way to keep your mouth feeling fresh throughout the day.
Two-in-One: Tooth brush and toothpaste in one; miswak cleans your teeth gently removing stains caused by food, coffee, tobacco etc. and fights bad breath without the need of a toothpaste.
Contains natural anti bacterial, fluoride, vitamin C, Trimethylamine, and Salvadorine etc, to help fight gum disease, bad breath and reduction of plaque thus providing comprehensive dental care.
The angle of miwak bristles mean you get the benefits of a toothbrush and floss in one, without using harsh chemicals or abrasive toothbrushes.
Reduces nicotine cravings for smokers or those trying to quit smoking.
Since it's small and portable, you can take it with you to work, school or just when you're out and about.
If used consistently throughout the day and over time it can help strengthen your teeth and gums and significantly improve your oral health, while reviving forgotten sunnah at the same time.

10 sticks, vacuum packed individually to maximum freshness and longer life.
Step 1: Strip approx 10 mm of the outer bark of the miswak stick to expose the interior softer bristles.
Step 2: Chew the exposed inner bristles/membrane to soften the bristles so as it feels like a brush.
Step 3: Brush your teeth in an upwards and downwards motion (unlike a normal toothbrush in which usually you go right to left). Allow the softer brittles go in between the teeth and gums to thoroughly clean your teeth and floss at the same time.
We recommend you use it after every meal or snack throughout the day. It only takes less then a minute but provides long term oral and general health benefits.
The following day cut off the old bristles a bit and repeat step 1.
Order today to enjoy a healthier chemicals free oral hygiene experience.

A new virtualization replication company called Zerto claims to have built a better mousetrap for disaster recovery.
Zerto left stealth mode last month and is already generating some buzz, because it doesn’t require matching storage arrays at disaster recovery sites and allows users to manage replication at the VM or application level, rather than at the physical storage layer. Its software installs as a virtual appliance on each host, using vSphere APIs and Zerto’s own proprietary algorithms to replicate virtual machine (VM) data to a secondary site.
By operating at the hypervisor level, Zerto aims to eliminate the complexity that can arise when replicating between storage area networks (SANs). Traditionally, users often have to match up VMs, VMDK files and their underlying physical volumes on the SAN during replication and recovery. But with replication at the hypervisor level, according to Zerto’s data sheet, users can select which data to replicate according to which VM they want to protect, or they can specify which VMs should be grouped together for replication as a multi-tiered app. Data still needs a place to be stored at the secondary site, eventually, but because matching arrays aren’t needed, the storage at the secondary site can be cheaper than what’s used at the primary site.
Zerto’s virtual appliances, called Virtual Replication Appliances, communicate with one another, so if VMs or their VMDK files are moved — through vMotion, High Availability, Distributed Resource Scheduler or Storage vMotion — replication remains consistent. The product compresses data to cut down on network traffic over the WAN, integrates with vCenter for management and reports on replication operations.
Woodforest National Bank, Zerto’s current poster-child customer, is about 96% virtualized, running about 300 VMware vSphere 4.1 ESXi virtual machines on about 25 hosts at each of two sites in The Woodlands and Austin, Texas. The bank is testing Zerto’s replication for disaster recovery for all of its servers, CTO Richard Ferrara said.
Currently, the bank is using EMC’s RecoverPoint, based on Kashya’s replication technology, which was sold to EMC by the founders of Zerto in 2006. The bank’s RecoverPoint configuration uses the SANTap service module on Cisco’s MDS 9000 series Fibre Channel switch to split writes at the SAN level for replication. This method of splitting writes has suffered at times from connectivity problems, which can cause some servers to lose access to the SAN, Ferrara said.
The bank already has matching Hitachi Data Systems USP-V high-end disk arrays at both ends of the disaster recovery network, but Ferrara said he’s hopeful that using Zerto to split writes for replication at the hypervisor layer will allow for more efficient use of storage — and eliminate the SANTap issues.
Other users just starting to test Zerto still have questions about the resiliency and efficiency of replication over IP-based networks between hosts, as opposed to the Fibre Channel-based networks used between arrays.
“I’m really used to Fibre Channel, even across sites,” said Ed Czerwin, a systems engineer for a large medical devices company near Zurich, Switzerland.
Czerwin’s company currently has Fibre Channel networks that use EMC’s Symmetrix Remote Data Facility replication to send a large amount of data — about 20 TB — over the wire daily. Fibre Channel is a lossless protocol, while IP networks see the occasional dropped packet. But there are third-party WAN accelerators that can help with these issues on IP networks, and Czerwin said he’s interested to see if Zerto will integrate with those tools.
“I consider IP to be a less resilient protocol than Fibre Channel, and maybe it’s my old school upbringing, being a SAN guy before I became a virtualization guy, but I just really want to see how fast [Zerto] can do [replication] and how efficient it is,” he said.
Meanwhile, the timing of Zerto’s emergence from stealth is interesting, given the impending release of vSphere 5, which will support host-based replication through Site Recovery Manager (SRM), according to officials at VMware’s Partner Exchange conference. With SRM for array-based replication, VMware has relied on partners to perform the actual data movement, rather than creating its own replication product. It remains to be seen whether the upcoming feature in vSphere 5 will work the same way, or if it will directly compete with what Zerto is doing.

Studying with CSU can prepare you for a rewarding career, working closely with women to prevent and reduce mortality and morbidity from breast cancer through early detection of the disease.
Molecular imaging is a form of biomedical imaging, which is rapidly growing in importance in the applied life sciences, and contributes in the advancement of biomedicines.
Work on the frontline of 21st century healthcare.
Radiography is the use of X-rays and other imaging techniques to produce images of an object’s internal structure. The medical applications of this process are abundant, allowing professionals to view and diagnose otherwise unobservable medical conditions. Postgraduate study into the field has students learn of medical radiation science, advanced practice, clinical studies and interprofessional learning.
Both radiology and radiography were born when physicist Wilhelm Röntgen discovered the X-ray in 1895. He would keep a cathode-ray tube filled with positive and negative electrodes in his laboratory, observing a fluorescent glow when charge was applied and air evacuated. After further experimentation he started noticing the ray passing through heavy paper and most substances for that matter.
Radiology makes use of X-rays, but radiography is dedicated to them and other imaging techniques. It’s used every day to assess internal injuries and ailments, making it an invaluable tool in the modern pantheon of medical practices.
Radiography is for those with a keen interest in technology and cutting edge equipment. It allows the technically proficient to master the use of magnetic resonance imaging, fluoroscopy, angiography, computer tomography and more. It’s also a field that requires great people skills, as radiographers are the ones talking to patients and making them feel comfortable. If you’re charismatic, supportive and love technology, this field could definitely be for you.
Radiography is normally taken at the master level, with graduate certificates and diplomas being exceedingly rare. These courses take two years to complete if undergone full time, or four years if part time. The University of Canberra offers them to students with a specialised interest in medical imaging technology, making it a perfect way to become qualified. Students from the University of Sydney and others can have a bachelor degree from any discipline to enter.
There are many companies that have need of radiographers, such as Voyager Imaging. These professionals are dedicated not only to providing radiographic services, but connecting radiologists to radiographers in an effort to connect the field. International companies like Emergency Teleradiology and Carestream work to do the same thing, providing high level resources, equipment and employment opportunities to radiographers.

Strabismus is a visual defect in which the eyes are misaligned and point in different directions. One eye may look straight ahead, while the other eye turns inward, outward, upward or downward. You may always notice the misalignment, or it may come and go. The turned eye may straighten at times and the straight eye may turn.
Strabismus is a common condition among children. About 4% of all children in the United States have strabismus. It can also occur later in life. It occurs equally in males and females. Strabismus may run in families. However, many people with strabismus have no relatives with the problem.
With normal vision, both eyes aim at the same spot. The brain then fuses the two pictures into a single three-dimensional image. This three-dimensional image gives us depth perception. When one eye turns, two different pictures are sent to the brain. In a young child, the brain learns to ignore the image of the misaligned eye and sees only the image from the straight or better-seeing eye. The child then loses depth perception.
Good vision develops during childhood when both eyes have normal alignment. Strabismus may cause reduced vision, or amblyopia in the weaker eye. The brain will recognize the image of the better-seeing eye and ignore the image of the weaker or amblyopic eye. This occurs in approximately half the children who have strabismus. Amblyopia can be treated by patching the “good” eye to strengthen and prove vision in the weaker eye. If amblyopia is detected in the first few years of life, treatment is usually successful.
If treatment is delayed until later, amblyopia usually becomes permanent. As a rule, the earlier amblyopia is treated, the better the visual result.
The exact cause of strabismus is not fully understood. Six eye muscles, controlling eye movement, are attached to the outside of each eye. In each eye, two muscles move the eye right or left. The other four muscles move it up or down and at an angle. To line up and focus both eyes on a single target, all of the muscles in each eye must be balanced and working together. In order for the eyes to move together, the muscles in both eyes must be coordinated.
A cataract or eye injury that affects vision can also cause strabismus.
The main symptom of strabismus is an eye that is not straight. Sometimes children will squint one eye in bright sunlight or tilt their head to use their eyes together.
Strabismus can be diagnosed during an eye exam. It is recommended that all children have their vision checked by their pediatrician, family doctor or ophthalmologist (medical eye doctor) at or before their fourth birthday. If there is a family history of strabismus or amblyopia, an ophthalmologist can check vision even earlier that age three.
All children should have their vision checked at or before their fourth birthday; earlier, if there is a family history of strabismus or amblyopia. The eyes of infants often seem to be crossed. Young children often have a wide, flat nose and a fold of skin at the inner eyelid that can make the eyes appear crossed. This appearance of strabismus may improve as the child grows. A child will not outgrow true strabismus. An ophthalmologist can usually tell the difference between true and false strabismus.
In some case, eyeglasses can be prescribed for your child. Other treatments may involve surgery to correct the unbalanced eye muscles or to remove a cataract. Covering or patching the strong eye to improve amblyopia is often necessary.
The ophthalmologist makes a small incision in the tissue covering the eye to reach the eye muscles. Certain muscles are repositioned during the surgery, depending on which direction the eye is turning. It may be necessary to perform surgery on one or both eyes. When strabismus surgery is performed on children, a general anesthetic is required. Local anesthesia is an option for adults.
Recovery time is rapid. People are usually able to resume their normal activities within a few days. After surgery, glasses or prisms may be useful. In many cases, further surgery may be needed at a later stage to keep the eyes straight. For children with constant strabismus, early surgery offers the best chance for the eyes to work well together. In general, it is easier for children to undergo such surgery before school age.
Strabismus surgery is usually a safe and effective treatment for eye misalignment. It is not, however, a substitute for glasses or amblyopia therapy.
Botox, a new drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for limited use, is an alternative to eye muscle surgery for some individuals. An injection of this drug into an eye muscle temporarily relaxes the muscle, allowing the opposite muscle to tighten and straighten the eye.
Although the effects of the drug wear off after several weeks, in some cases, the misalignment may be permanently corrected.

It's time to sign up for this year's MSNA Educational Conference! Conference is in Portland on May 3 and 4. There's a great lineup of CE courses and you'll get to meet with nurses all across the region. Please join us!
Nurses are patient advocates â€” and by extension advocates for our patients' families and our communities - and today we are sounding an alert on theTrans-Pacific Partnership, an international agreement that puts the public health of Maine, and the nation, at risk.
Nurses at Mount Desert Island Hospital have struggled since 2004 to make new technology a safe and effective tool to enhance patient care. But management has not taken the nurses seriously when they reported â€œnear missesâ€ with medications. Due to the nursesâ€™ diligence, a new group of remote pharmacists have been employed, and so far, the mistake rate has declined.
What will happen now that I’ve taken over as the next Executive Director of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee/National Nurses United?
We're talking about recent Legislation that was introduced to the Maine State Legislative Committee to hold hospitals accountable for elimination of major care facilities.
A toxic environment leads to illnesses that become a nurseâ€™s job to heal. Thatâ€™s why 70 National Nurses United (NNU) RNs stood together with 300,000 other marchers to demand environmental justice at the Peopleâ€™s Climate March in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.

The good news is that the banks can help you start a startup with all the finances you will need. Though it might put some hurdles, it worth your time and efforts.
If you want to make your financing easy and hassle-free, you need to find a band that can lend you the helping hand without creating any trouble. You need to search for a bank that has a good reputation with business financing.
In addition, the financial institution must have a record in dealing with your specific industry. The more research you conduct with your bank, the easier will it be to secure a business loan.
If you are thinking of a small-budget startup, then this is the best option you can take. A microcredit institution can help you get the necessary finances without much hassle. Just like any other financial institution, it requires collateral and you will be able to get the financing for your business.
Due to the smaller investment, the process criterion is much lenient than the traditional banks and the markups are relatively lower. It primarily benefits the businesses that thrive on small finances.
Since you are doing it the first time, therefore it is important that you get yourself familiarized with different facets of business financing. Get an idea of various loan products for the startups.
Visit frequently the different banks and learn about the financing criterion. Go for a financing option only when you become familiar with its nitty-gritty details.
A credit score is one of the major factors that have an impact on your business loan application. Therefore, you should know your score and make sure that is above the required value.
According to some financial experts, it is important for your business to have a score above than 600 in order to get a financial help from the bank.
The interview is a pivotal factor for the bank to decide whether or not you deserve a business loan. Therefore, the more you practice the interview part, the higher will be the chances that you secure a business loan.
Preparing yourself in advance about the projected questions of the interviewer helps you create the right impression and increases your chances of approval.
How long will you take to return the money?
Are there any pending loans you have to pay against the collateral?
What will you do if you fail to pay back the loan?
Before you actually go to meet your banker, you have to turn yourself into a professional lawyer to present your case in a more impactful way.
A lawyer is knowledgeable about the intricacies of business financing and there are good chances that he helps you get the funds with ease.
The journey of entrepreneurship begins with a sound financing and this is where the assistance of a bank comes into play.
These expert tips serve as guidelines to help you get the much-needed business loan so that you can kick-start your long-awaited startup as soon as possible. Wishing you best of luck for your loan application!

The North Down Coastal Path extends from Holywood in the west to Orlock in the east and it is a favourite with members of our walking group and the public at large because it hugs the coastline route with a wide range of flora and fauna to be observed along its length. Not only that but easy accessibility by train make it one of our more environmentally friendly options with regard to transport.
Around 20 members of the group got out of bed a little earlier than normal and let the train take the strain. Most caught the 9:15am leaving Portadown which left Lurgan at 9:21am but Tom and Pauline, up with the lark as usual, caught the 9:06am flyer in Lurgan and sped past the 7 stations between Lisburn and Great Victoria Street. This gave them plenty of time to tuck into a large Ulster Fry unobserved at flower-bedecked Bangor Station and remove the evidence before the main party arrived.
Those of us who had enjoyed a few extra minutes in bed paid the price when we arrived in Bangor because we only had time to enjoy a sausage roll or a scone with our tea and coffee before setting off for the coast. But at least we were better fed than the party who arrived at Sea Park Recreation Grounds in Holywood. Without an ice-cream van or hot dog stand in sight they had to rely on blackberries picked from the hedgerows to give them sustenance on their walk. Not only that, but they had over five miles to walk before they met up with the Bangor bunch who had arrived early enough at Crawfordsburn to include a trip up to the Crawfordsburn waterfall in their itinerary.
The path up to the falls passes under the wonderfully atmospheric railway viaduct (pictured left). The scale of this viaduct helps explain why it took 17 years to complete the stretch of railway between Holywood and Bangor. The Belfast to Bangor line is the last remnant of the Belfast and County Down Railway Company which once had lines to Comber, Newtownards, Donaghadee, Ballynahinch, Downpatrick, Newcastle, Castlewellan and Ardglass. The company's first section of line, from Belfast to Holywood, opened in 1848 with the extension to Bangor opening in 1865.
Paddy drove the minibus to Sea Park where he met up with others who had arrived by car. Among them was Pat who couldn't resist the opportunity to dip his toes into the sea - but that was as much as he wanted to expose to the cool water of Belfast Lough. Jim and Ruth got off the train in Holywood, meeting up with the party at Sea Park and led them without serious incident to Crawfordsburn.
Along the coastal path we were treated to some close up views of coastal birdlife such as cormorants with wings spread for drying. Blackberries seemed to have passed their best but there were plenty of other flowers and bushes to enliven our walk.
Crocosmia, (below right) commonly known as Montbretia, is a small genus of flowering plants in the iris family, Iridaceae. It is native to the grasslands of Cape Floristic Region, South Africa but has quickly become acclimatised and is a common sight along roads and paths in Ireland.
Fuchsia: the fuchsia now seems to be a ubiquitous seaside bush. The first of the species brought back to Europe, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (present day Dominican Republic and Haiti) in 1703 by the French Minim monk and botanist, Charles Plumier. He named the new genus after the renowned German botanist Leonhart Fuchs.
Blackberry: the term 'bramble', a word meaning any impenetrable scrub, has traditionally been applied specifically to the blackberry. The black fruit is not a true berry; botanically it is termed an aggregate fruit, composed of small drupelets - outer fleshy parts surrounding the pits or stones which contain the seeds of the plant.
Scentless Mayweed: from the family Asteraceae which includes the common daisy. It is a host of several insect pests but is also a source of nectar and pollen for beneficial insects. The sap contains an anti-viral agent that inhibits the growth of polio and herpes viruses.
Ragwort: common Ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) is a specified weed under the Weeds Act 1959. It contains toxins, which can have debilitating or fatal consequences if eaten by horses and other grazing animals. However, larvae of some lepidoptera species, such as caterpillars of the Cinnabar Moth feed on ragwort making them unpalatable, or worse, to potential predators. The name Senecio, which means "old man", is given to one of the largest genera of flowering plants.

1. As the first base battle raged on, Pete Alonso (who was the DH) went 1-for-3 with a walk (his OPS is 1.297)., and Dominic Smith (who started at first base) went 1-for-3 with a run scored (his OPs is 1.060).
2. Steven Matz got the start and was sharp, tossing 4.0 scoreless innings while allowing three hits, walking one, and striking out two.
3. Amed Rosario returned with a bang, hitting a laser of a three-run homer down the left field line in what was his first at-bat since exiting the game on March 4 after getting hit in the hand by a pitch. Overall, Rosario went 1-for-3 with two runs scored.
4. Jeff McNeil, who was back at third base, had a strong game -- going 2-for-3 with a homer. Robinson Cano started at second base and went 2-for-3 with an RBI. His OPS this spring is 1.224.
5. Travis d'Arnaud pinch-hit late in the game and hit an absolute moonshot of a solo homer.
6. Expected members of the Opening Day bullpen were largely exceptional, with Jeurys Familia (1.0 inning), Justin Wilson (1.0 inning), Robert Gsellman (0.2 inning). The lone glitch was a solo homer given up by Edwin Diaz, who allowed just that one batter to reach while tossing 1.0 inning and striking out one as his fastball topped out at 97 MPH.
The Mets travel to face the Astros on Monday at 1:05 p.m.

You might be surprised how many people end up choosing a property which doesn’t actually tick all the boxes. In fact, when buying their first home, as it says on www.lifehacker.com.au/, they end up buying something which is really not the house for them. And then they look back in the future to regret the house move. After all, you should never go for second best when it comes to property purchases. You want something which you can put your stamp on and that you will love living in for years to come. In fact, here are some things you should do to ensure you don’t go for second best.
A lot of people only go the once when it comes to viewing a property. After all, they don’t want to be an inconvenience to the realtor by going back again. And they might think it’s perfect the first time, so they don’t bother going to see the property again. But you might end up with a property which isn’t as perfect as you first thought. After all, it sometimes takes a second or third visit to ensure it ticks all the boxes. And going back several times means you can check out things properly. After all, you don’t want to rush into buying a house which has a ton of problems. And you can also take friends and family if you go for a return visit. That way, you can see what they think before making a decision.
When property buying, it’s common for people to end up going for a house which doesn’t tick all the boxes. It might not have the right number of bedrooms or have that large garden they would have liked. But there are no other properties at that time which fit their criteria. So they end up with something which is second best. But rather than going for the property which isn’t perfect, you should consider building a home instead. That way, you can get a property which is completely perfect for your family. After all, the builders can ensure it fits your criteria, so you don’t miss out. And there are a lot of smaller building firms like you can see on Kre8WA.com.au that will build you a home for less. So you don’t have to worry about the process costing you a small fortune!
It’s also so important to think about five and 10 years down the line when hunting down a new property. After all, a lot of people make a decision due to a property being right for them at that current time. But you need to make sure you think about the future when you are house buying. After all, you don’t want to look back and regret your choice as it’s unsuitable now. And just because you are desperate to move, it doesn’t mean you should make a quick decision. Think about the property in the long-term scale to ensure it ticks all the boxes for your future.
And remember to listen to your heart. If you can’t stop thinking about a property, and would be gutted if it sold, it’s likely to be the right one for you.

Abstract: Systematic conservation assessment and conservation planning are two distinct fields of conservation science often confused as one and the same. Systematic conservation assessment is the technical, often computer‐based, identification of priority areas for conservation. Conservation planning is composed of a systematic conservation assessment coupled with processes for development of an implementation strategy and stakeholder collaboration. The peer‐reviewed conservation biology literature abounds with studies analyzing the performance of assessments (e.g., area‐selection techniques). This information alone, however, can never deliver effective conservation action; it informs conservation planning. Examples of how to translate systematic assessment outputs into knowledge and then use them for “doing” conservation are rare. South Africa has received generous international and domestic funding for regional conservation planning since the mid‐1990s. We reviewed eight South African conservation planning processes and identified key ingredients of best practice for undertaking systematic conservation assessments in a way that facilitates implementing conservation action. These key ingredients include the design of conservation planning processes, skills for conservation assessment teams, collaboration with stakeholders, and interpretation and mainstreaming of products (e.g., maps) for stakeholders. Social learning institutions are critical to the successful operationalization of assessments within broader conservation planning processes and should include not only conservation planners but also diverse interest groups, including rural landowners, politicians, and government employees.

Travis Johnson is now the only original member left in Grooms, but the noise-pop band's frontman is pressing ahead with the album Comb the Feelings Through Your Hair. Ahead of its release February 17 through Western Vinyl, fans can hear the song "Doctor M."
The six-minute track plays out in two parts. The first section is an urgent, distortion-laced rock groove, and this eventually downshifts into a quietly simmering guitar chug. This transitions into a spaced-out shimmer of ethereal ambience, which takes up final half of the track.

Welcome to Hollister Longwings. My name is Bob Hollister and I’m glad you’ve found my newly updated site. I have been breeding falcons since 1987 and have been a falconer since the age of 13 (I am 55). Falcons have always been my passion and obsession. My background is in wildlife biology, raptor research, teaching, music and yoga. I live on a small ranch in south-central Montana in a solar home I designed and built. I have been living “off the grid” for 15 years now, producing my own power from the wind and sun. My falcon breeding facility is powered totally from these renewable energy sources. My life has been grounded in a philosophy of sustainability, conservation, and a deep respect for all things, and my ranch and breeding project reflect these concerns. This approach, combined with first rate facilities, meticulous care, and 25 years experience enable me to produce world class hunting falcons.
I am a C.I.T.E.S. registered breeder of Gyrfalcons and Peregrines. I am an experienced international exporter. To my friends here in the U.S. and around the world who have flown my falcons and who have shared their falconry passion with me, I express my deepest gratitude. To those new to the site, I hope you enjoy it and consider one of my falcons as your next hunting companion.

Fun Halloween drinks and Halloween drink garnishes are next. We’ve already given you a couple of cool Halloween drinks that you can offer for your party. So, lets get into a couple of cool garnishes that you can use for your Halloween cocktails .
These look really cool either floating in a drink or skewered and laid on top of the drink. Lychee is a small reddish fruit that’s popular here in Asia. Inside it has a fleshy white texture with a pit in the middle. You can use either canned lychees or fresh ones if you can find them.If you’re using fresh lychees, cut them in half and remove the pit. Where the pit used to be, stick a blueberry in its place – make sure the collar of the blueberry is sticking out. Then use the berry preserves or grenadine to create the bloodshot look.
This works great for martinis and cocktails. Take grenadine and carefully line the rim of the glass with it. Use enough so that it starts to drip down the side of the glass but not so much that it keeps dripping to the table top. You can make these in advance and put them in the fridge to keep them chilled.
These are the same gummy worms that you used to eat as a kid. Buy a couple bags of these worms and use them to decorate your average rum & cokes, whiskey sours, screwdrivers etc.
Keeping with the gummy worms theme, cut up some apples into slices and use a straw to poke a hole through the upper middle of them. Then feed a gummy worm through the hole. Cut a slit in the lower portion of the apple slice so that it fits on the rim of a glass.
I hope you enjoyed these fun Halloween drinks and garnishes. Don’t forget to check out Halloween Party Drinks for a cool Halloween shot and Halloween cocktail.
I’m a big fan of jello shots and adding in half a gummy worm, with the end hanging out of the top, is an excellent way to give your jello shots that Halloween feel. Simply add the gummy worms before putting the mixture into the fridge to set.
Remember, you can use these pumpkin kegs to serve any type of beverage – even non-alcoholic punch for your kids’ party.
If you have any Halloween drink garnish ideas or Halloween drink or shooter recipes, please share them in the comments below.
And here are some Halloween bar decoration ideas. Happy Halloween!!

Exterior plywood is used for sheathing over studs.
The application of plywood depends on the manufacturing process. One size doesn't fit all, and there are distinctive differences between interior and exterior plywood -- even if they are not visible. Exterior plywood can be used indoors or outdoors, but interior plywood should never be used outdoors under any circumstances.
Glue is the differentiating factor in exterior plywood. When the plywood is manufactured for exterior use, waterproof glue is used. It is a resin-based glue similar to the glue used in wooden ships. It dries to a hard, crystal substance that will never yield to moisture of any kind. This glue is applied between every layer of the plywood. Even though the plywood will hold up to almost any weather conditions, it's recommended that some type of paint or finish be used on exterior plywood if it is exposed directly to sun or water.
When purchasing exterior plywood, read the marks on the plywood to identify it. Common plywood markings will have three letters indicating the plywood's application. The most typical marking for exterior plywood is "CDX." Plywood quality is ranked by letters of the alphabet, with "A" being the best ranking. Using this formula, CDX means that the plywood has one "C" side and one "D" side. The "X" means that it is designated for exterior use.
Exterior plywood is not restricted to outdoor use. It's almost always used as a subfloor in most homes so that its waterproof qualities will resist moisture from below or water that may be spilled from above. Exterior plywood can also be used on countertops around sinks or even inside cabinets. Exterior plywood works fine for just about any interior application, except for the fact that it has numerous defects or patches in the surface.
The majority of all exterior plywood is made from fir. This lumber is widely produced and harvested in the Northwest, making it the favorite for affordability and availability. Exterior plywood may be slightly more expensive, but typically it is not because it doesn't need to be finished. It is full of defects that do not detract from its usefulness but do restrict it to floors, exterior sheathing or other applications that cover the plywood.

UnitedHealth's announcement that it's dropping ObamaCare is making headlines but not everyone is surprised at the news.
"It doesn't come as a surprise that some of them are walking away," observes Hadley Heath Manning, director of health policy at Independent Women's Forum.
In fact, she says, the health insurance companies "made a deal with the devil" when they gave up control of their industry to the federal government, while hoping to get a lot in return for the deal-making.
UnitedHealth Group Inc. estimates it could lose a half-billion dollars or more on its public exchange business this year alone. As a result, CEO Stephen Hemsley has said the company cannot continue to broadly serve the market created by the Affordable Care Act's coverage expansion because of the higher risk that comes with its customers.
UnitedHealth says it will remain in public health insurance exchanges in only a handful of states next year. That's after recently expanding to 34 states.
One of the continuing issues with ObamaCare is that insurance companies are taking on older and or less-healthy Americans while not getting enough younger, healthier Americans to help offset the cost via premiums.
Manning tells OneNewsNow the news is also no surprise since the insurance companies have struggled in that subset of the market.
"And they've been very public about their financial challenges," she says, "setting premiums at the appropriate level considering the law's regulations that they have to accept all patients, all consumers, all members to their insurance plans."
UnitedHealth is not the only insurance company, large or small, to announce financial losses from things linked to ObamaCare. Many co-ops have also collapsed or will not be offering plans for 2017.
According to Manning, consumers are left without any power in this struggle between insurance companies and the government.

Porcelain veneers are more resistant to stains than tooth enamel, but is there a product that can be safely used with veneers to bleach the margins of the tooth where stains may build up? Is it okay to use the commercially available bleach products or do those damage the veneers? Although I don’t drink much coffee, I do drink some so I expect there may be a slow buildup over time.
If you’re talking about whitening toothpastes, most whitening toothpastes would not be effective at all at removing stains at the margins of your porcelain veneers. Those margins are bonding resin, and ordinary or whitening toothpastes tend to be abrasive and thus hard on that bonding resin. Supersmile toothpaste is great for that. It’s effective at removing stains but is non-abrasive.
Tooth bleaching systems that are used in dental offices, such as Nite White, Zoom, Sapphire, Boost, Kor, Opalescence, etc., are all safe for using with porcelain veneers, but they will selectively whiten the teeth and not the veneers or the bonding resin.
I would not use any over-the-counter whiteners, as you could risk damaging your teeth or your porcelain veneers.
The best prevention for those stains at the margins of porcelain veneers is for the dentist to make that margin as undetectable as possible. If the tooth is prepared slightly with a slight edge at the margin of the porcelain veneer, then when the porcelain is bonded to the tooth, the dentist can create a flush margin that is perfectly smooth. Simple flossing will then keep this clean. This is one disadvantage to Lumineers when the teeth aren’t prepared at all – the dentist ends up with a little bump where the porcelain meets the tooth, and that attracts stain.
If those margins become stained in spite of using Supersmile toothpaste and in spite of being made smooth, I would ask your expert cosmetic dentist to have his hygienist polish those with ultra-fine polishing strips.

There are many reasons that seniors may not be eating well. Taking a new approach to changing tastes may help.
With the senior, jointly plan a week’s worth of healthy, good-tasting meals. When it comes to food choices, The Food Pyramid is the standard. There’s even a version designed for individuals 70 years of age and older.
Breakfast can be as simple as a whole-grain cereal, such as bran flakes, served with dried or fresh fruit and low-fat milk.
An easy lunch option is the all-time favorite, PB&J. To maximize fiber and create a balanced meal, use whole-grain bread and serve with carrot sticks and a piece of fruit.
Design dinner around chicken, fresh fish or a portion of lean beef. Add vegetables in the form of a salad or vegetable-based soup.
Don’t forget to add two daily snacks to the mix. Good choices include fruit, cheese or a handful of nuts.
Buy an entire week’s groceries at once, so it’s easier to prepare meals on short notice.
Consider making a casserole or a pot of soup or stew that can be eaten over a period of a few days or frozen for a quick, nutritious meal later.
Add a social component to meal times by encouraging friends or relatives to join in the eating or cooking. Start a potluck supper club, or investigate group dining options at local senior centers. Keep in mind that Meals on Wheels delivers hot meals with a smile to those seniors who live alone.
By realizing how the aging process affects the entire nutritional spectrum from taste to socialization, caregivers and adult children can help make mealtime both healthy and enjoyable.

When You Succeed, Do You Really Achieve Health & Happiness ?
Most of us are pretty competitive by nature, and that's often where our natural desire and effort to succeed stems from. If we do it right, we wind up with a bigger bank account, lots of fun acquisitions, and a list of awards and honors. Hard work, determination and talent really do pay off. And sometimes we run out and treat ourselves to dinner, a new car, or a new wardrobe.
But the real question is, "how did that work out?" After everyone stops clapping, or you have admired your new acquisitions again and again, are you still grinning? Maybe not. Some of us work very hard to get things, and then find that the thrill is gone.
One of my many calendars says, “True wisdom is achieving success and then being able to enjoy it.” If long hours and nonstop work sessions were required to put you where you wanted to be, it may be time to drop back and learn how to enjoy life.
Learn how to enjoy life as much as you do achieving it. Start by taking a little time here and there and be sure to unplug. At first it may be very hard to step away from your calls, emails and check-in discussions with work, but then you may feel a new creativity brewing. Your head clears and life has a new look when the afternoon is absolutely free.
Learn to delegate. You may have made it to the top with absolute attention to everything, but if you are doing it right you have good workers around you who can carry out the work and will appreciate the chance to jump in and show you. Put up a sign on your fridge or your desk that asks, “So what are you thankful for?” Take time to determine where you are headed? Success can secure your position, but it may not open the next door. Consider ways to branch out. New vistas can generate new successes and be fun.
The happiest people I know have not always been the richest or most illustrious. The really happy ones were relaxed and smiling most of the time. They picked the right job and learned to pace their work. And most important, they may have learned to enjoy what they had when they had it. We all have many things to be grateful for. We just have to see them and remember to say thank you.

Since that time, we have seen 55 per cent growth in enrolments from the poorest fifth of Australian households, 48 per cent growth for regional and rural students, 89 per cent for Indigenous students, and 106 per cent growth for students with a disability.
Keeping open these doors of opportunity is not only important to all Australians, or to universities and the communities that we serve. It should also be a priority for governments and the business community. Fostering the conditions for social cohesion is squarely in their interests, too.
The data confirm 16,000 Australian businesses partner formally with a university. Yet the benefits could be even greater if we could lift that number to 24,000 – a 50 per cent increase.
Not only would that benefit those companies’ operations, balance sheets and shareholders, it would benefit Australia’s economy even more substantially, lifting that A$19.4 billion a year contribution closer to A$30 billion a year. And that would lift Australia’s rate of business–university collaboration to that of innovation powerhouses such as Israel and the United States.
At Monash, we have signed a multi-year research and commercialisation deal with one of the arms of global pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson. This collaboration is on the early detection and prevention of rheumatoid arthritis – a debilitating autoimmune disease that affects more than 400,000 Australians and nearly 25 million people worldwide. It has vast potential not only to alleviate pain and suffering, but also to generate income for Australia from the medicines or treatments that we hope could result.
In Geelong, a collaboration between Deakin, GT Recycling and carpet manufacturer Godfrey Hirst, has created a new, lower-maintenance product from recycled polymer textiles to reinforce footpaths and roads.
It includes the University of Wollongong working to triple the number of foster carers recruited in the Illawarra, Curtin University sending thousands of students each year, for the past 19 years, to volunteer in bush communities in Western Australia, and universities delivering free dental care to pensioners in regional towns across the nation.
A representative sample of more than 1500 Australians surveyed by JWS Research found four in five Australians thought it was valuable for university students to do work placements with business or community groups as part of their degrees.

Telis Demos reported that electronic trading firm Virtu Financial is gearing up for a possible initial public offering next year and is likely to submit its first confidential regulatory filing within the next couple of months. The New York-based trading firm has been working on the potential offering with Goldman Sachs Group Inc. but has also met with other banks that it could later bring into a deal, he cited the people as saying.
Electronic trading firm Virtu Financial Inc. is gearing up for a possible initial public offering next year, and is likely to submit its first confidential regulatory filing within the next couple of months, people familiar with the matter said.
The New York-based trading firm thus far has been working on the potential offering with Goldman Sachs Group Inc., but has also met with other banks that it could later bring into a deal, the people said.
Spokesmen for Virtu and Goldman Sachs declined to comment.
Virtu, founded in 2008 in New York, has since opened offices in Europe and Asia and trades in more than 200 different markets globally. Virtu’s primary business is market-making, in which a trader acts as a middle man by buying from sellers and selling to buyers, pocketing the small difference across possibly hundreds of thousands of trades daily.
Last year one of Virtu’s biggest competitors, Getco, became a public company after it beat Virtu in a takeover battle for Knight Capital. Getco eventually merged with Knight, a listed company, to form publicly traded KCG Holdings Inc.
Virtu is owned in part by private-equity firm Silver Lake, the result of Virtu’s 2011 merger with Madison Tyler Holdings LLC, a Los Angeles-based trading firm. As part of that deal, Silver Lake contributed cash for a minority stake in the business, and Virtu raised debt as well, according to S&P Capital IQ LCD.
Earlier this year, Virtu raised additional debt to fund a dividend to Silver Lake and other equity owners, according to S&P.
Confidential IPO filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission are possible for companies with under $1 billion in revenues under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act, or JOBS Act, which became law in April 2012 and is meant to help boost the number of IPOs.
Virtu is expected to produce earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of more than $250 million this year, people familiar with the company said. In 2012, its so-called Ebitda was $240 million, the Journal has previously reported.
At a valuation similar to KCG Holdings based on that measure, according to figures from S&P Capital IQ, Virtu would be have a stock market value of about $2 billion.
Mr. Cifu was a co-founder of Virtu along with Chief Executive Vincent Viola, the former chairman of the New York Mercantile Exchange, and Graham Free.
The company in August tapped Joseph Molluso, a former J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. banker who worked with financial services companies, as its chief financial officer.
