Thomas Cook is the UK's favourite travel agent providing top quality service & amazingly low priced holidays, hotels, flights and cruises.
Whether you are looking for the best priced beach hotel on the market, a couples retreat away, city break or all-inclusive family holiday, Thomas Cook have the right deal with you.
The Thomas Cook name has been associated with travel since 1841 and by continuing to lead the way in terms of what a public expects from their favourite travel agent, it means that booking your next package holiday or hotel stay can be done in confidence.
Spring is the perfect season for a city break. Too early for a summer holiday, too late to go skiing, March through May is the time of year for a short weekend away. And who better to go with than Thomas Cook?
The UK’s favourite travel agent offers great deals on flights and hotels in an array of European cities. From soaking in the culture in the streets of Budapest to the pumping nightlife of Berlin, there’s something for everyone with Thomas Cook city breaks. If you’re quick, you can grab a deal that includes return flights and three nights in a hotel for £99 per person. These deals are available for selected dates in March.
Spring is also a great time to catch some of Europe’s most exciting celebrations. Take a trip to Dublin, and drink Guiness straight from the source this St Patrick’s day. Pack your green clothes, head to world renowned Temple Bar and lose your mind on craic on 17th March. Or, for something more suited to families, fly to Rome on 19th March for Saint Joseph’s Day — a traditional Catholic celebration that happens over lent. The Italians put on a massive parade with a huge feast. And all the dishes are meatless, so it’s perfect for veggies.
If you want to go further than Europe, Thomas Cook are also offering city breaks to US cities like New York. With distinctly freezing winters and hot summers, the spring months offer the optimum temperatures to explore the city’s unbeaten choice of museums and art galleries. Desperate for some vitamin D after the long winter months? Relax on the beaches of Dubai, where the temperature average 25-30°c during the spring. Wherever you decide to take your spring break this year, follow the links on this page to the Thomas Cook site and you can earn cashback on your holiday.
Planning a wedding can be a stressful experience, especially when you’re planning to have it abroad. Not, however, when you book it through Thomas Cook. Book your wedding abroad with the UK’s favourite travel agent. Just choose your destination and preferences, and they’ll take care of the flights, hotels, ceremonies, and even the cake. Whether you’re having your wedding abroad or not, a honeymoon is going to be on the cards either way. Thomas Cook can fly and accommodate you to a whole host of beautiful and sun-kissed places.

Thomas Cook have transport and accommodation in tons of luxurious places around the world. Say your vows among stunning European architecture in a chapel with a Mediterranean view. Or, head down to Mexico for a picturesque wedding on the beach, then nibble on some spicy Mexican dishes.
After you’ve picked your destination and other requirements, get your guest list sorted. Although you may only want close friends and family there, note that the longer your guest list, the more likely you’ll be eligible for group discounts. With these wedding packages, the Thomas Cook wizards are on first-hand contact to ensure that everything is going smoothly on your big day. Along with the flights and accommodation, Thomas Cook also sort out the wedding venue, bridal bouquet, groom’s buttonhole, the wedding and even sparkling wine for the reception.
It may sound too good to be true but there are some places in the Carribean that will even give you a free wedding reception. We’re not joking. Thomas Cook will host you in a hotel, and the reception will be on the house. This requires that you have a certain number of guests and a certain number of nights booked.
If you’re not planning to have your wedding abroad, but want to be whisked away to sunnier climates after your UK-based wedding, then head to Thomas Cook for all your honeymoon needs. Whether you want to celebrate your new marital status close(ish) to home, or if you want to travel to the other side of the globe, Thomas Cook have flights and hotels in destinations that will suit every taste and budget. Head to Cyprus and enjoy Mediterranean coastlines. The compact island boasts beautiful nature and sun-kissed beaches.

Home > Blog > Autumn “Leaves” its Problem!
Autumn has certainly arrived and as a result, it’s a good time to think about interceptor cleaning for all businesses required to have one on their forecourt.
After a mild start to season, in which the leaves tended to stay on the trees, the recent downturn in the weather has led to a massive amount of leaf-fall in a short space of time – which might not be good news for your interceptor.
While the Environment Agency recommends that interceptor cleaning should be undertaken every six months to reduce the probability of blockages, this is clearly a time of year when the potential for blockage is particularly high.
CSG are always on hand to offer an interceptor cleaning service – helping you to avoid contamination or pollution to your business premises or the surrounding area. We can provide a regular annual or bi-annual service, which includes a system of preventative measures for your commercial activity and its location.
We offer experience in all aspects relating to interceptors: emptying, cleaning, jetting, drainage and gully channel clearing as well as maintaining the interceptor’s alarm system, filters and closure systems – ensuring that you are operational all year round.
Interceptors are designed to capture water, waste products and oil, but must be cleaned and maintained to ensure their continual optimum performance. Interceptors (sometimes referred to as ‘oil separators’) are found in many locations where there is a risk of oil contamination – including car parks, fuel stations, heavy goods vehicle locations, roadways and other industrial sites.

The Pathway of Life is a Spiral, Not a Straight Line!
Just when you think you have your life and your spiritual journey sorted…then…BAM!..Your whole world gets tipped upside down and you feel you have been blown off your course and it becomes difficult to know where you are on your journey and you get a Deja Vu feeling that you have been here before!
Well, that’s how I feel sometimes, anyway!
Been here, done that……I know you, or I have experienced this; or that before, haven’t I?
Our life / lives, reincarnations take us on an endless journey, a journey of discovery, a wonderful journey in which our life / lives play out dependent upon our thoughts and our beliefs. We forge ahead often looking for something such as happiness, peace, love, abundance etc, or if we are on a more specific spiritual journey, maybe even awakening and enlightenment.
Or another day your heart is so full of compassion and kindness that every soul in need that you see breaks your heart and brings you to tears.
So, I have realised that my life is constantly evolving and there is no right or wrong way to travel my journey and I now firmly believe that our spiritual pathway is a spiral and we keep stumbling back across things we have experienced before, maybe even in a previous life, these reincarnated meetings along our journey of life are put there for a reason to remind us, to make us remember and enable is to see deeper truths.
Nature’s perfection, a gift from high.
Once a young monk fell asleep in the Meditation Hall while the monks were chanting the Buddha Name. The monks had been there in the hall since the early hours of the morning with the chant of the word “Amitofuo” resounding through the temple. Unceasing, the chant continued into the late afternoon.
When the Master noticed a young monk asleep he asked him: “Why are you sleeping during the chanting, my son?” “Master, I do not see the purpose. I have chanted and chanted and nothing has changed. Maybe I am not suited to this practice.” “Then come with me replied the Master.” The kindly Master led the young novice to his room. “Bring me your water glass”, demanded the Master. The novice went inside his room and returned with his glass full of water. The Master took the glass and went to his office. Taking a calligraphy brush he rolled it with some water into the ink stone then dipped the brush into the young monk’s glass of water. Suddenly there were swirls of black in the clear water. The young monk stood transfixed as the clear water turned completely black.
The young monk seemed to fumble for words now wishing he had not fallen asleep during the chanting and wondering what punishment the Master was going to mete out. “But Venerable Master I cannot do this.” “Good reply”, came the Master. Then the old Venerable took the novice back outside to a place just under the eaves of the tiled roof of the monks’ quarters. The old Venerable look up then down as if to be positioning the glass. Then with deliberate precision he placed the glass full of inky black water on walk way. “There, my son. Sit here and contemplate and meditate on the glass until I tell you to move.” The young monk did just as the Venerable had asked him.
One hour passed . . . then two. . . then three. The young monk focused with concentration on the glass of inky water contemplating how he could remove the dark water without tipping it out. While doing so large dark rain clouds began to amass overhead. There were distant rumblings of thunder. Soon small droplets of rain began to fall then a deluge broke loose. Rain began to fall in torrents upon the tiled roof sending streams into the spouting. Before long droplets of rain water began to fall into the glass precisely where the Master had positioned it. Droplet after droplet after droplet the drops fell into the glass. Soon the glass was full to the brim and began to over flow with the inky water gradually being displaced. Each raindrop sounded like the “tock” of the ‘muyu’ – the wooden fish the monks strike in time with the chanting. The young monk watched with glee as gradually the inky water was displaced by the droplets of cool clear rain water.
Eventually the rain stopped. The young monk sensed the presence of the Master and looked up at him with a glowing smile. The Venerable smiled in turn knowing that enlightenment had come upon the novice. “The rain removed the inky water, Master” came the novice. “And removed the ignorance from your mind as well” returned the Master.
Deepak Chopra explains the seven stages of consciousness and how they lead to enlightenment.* Which stage of consciousness have you reached?
Why do I spend my time writing, blogging, risking being labeled as crazy, developing, devising, and suggesting methods to “attain” something which is already present?
I often ask myself this question. The entire premise seems ridiculous when viewed as I just described it. I don’t get paid, I’m not famous, and I have no scheduled appearances on any of Oprah’s programs, or tours with Wayne Dyer. And, “What is he talking about,” you may ask.
This word conjures up images of half-naked sages in mountain caves, or wise ones in flowing robes, and a whole litany of other associated notions. Just for the record, the outward appearance and the actual state itself are not related – at all.
If you come across a half-naked sage throwing dust on his head, or a man or woman in a saffron-colored robe with a bald head, or a person in some other form of “priestly” attire, or a very spiritual title, you are looking at an advertisement.
I do not mean that to be taken in the negative connotation of capitalist commercialism, (though that may sometimes be the case). What I mean is that these people are outwardly presenting the fact that they have a story to tell – specifically, about how they “discovered” what was never missing, how it changed their experience of life in a positive way, and maybe how what they learned could help you, too.
Personally, I find myself less and less interested in the idea of “enlightenment” when it comes to sharing and teaching. I AM enlightened…and so are you. The very moment that we take the position of wishing to attain the state, we “lose” it: You get caught in the trap of looking for something that isn’t missing. But there is a challenge. Although you are enlightened, that fact may very well be hidden from you by that master of illusion – your brain.
This is what ALL of the teachings about “enlightenment,” or finding true and lasting deep peace, or being the embodiment of compassion and so forth, are designed to address. We need a method of “getting around” our brain and selfish egos – and they play AMAZING defense.
You see, if you aren’t worried about anything, and have no expectations, no fear of death or rejection, and move through life without a care – totally at peace with the ebb and flow of existence – well, your ego does not like that at all.
What is your brain going to do if you aren’t worrying? What will your mind do if you aren’t thinking everything to death? How can you relate to anyone or anything if the precious “identity” that you have worked so hard to build is no longer valid? What happens when you “die” to self, (as Jesus, Buddha, and practically every other spiritual master has taught us we must do in order to see God)? I have the answer to those questions: NOTHING changes except your perspective. In that instant, all of your interactions are filled with…peace…and Divine love…and compassion.
So, there are times that I write about methods that can assist you in getting around the brain’s stubborn and relentless defense. I certainly do not do so for fame, or for recognition, (good thing, or I would be sorely disappointed)! I do it in an effort to end the mental suffering and anguish that so many put themselves through every day. And your realization of that dynamic peace will spread like wildfire into every nook and cranny of your existence; even more wonderfully, into the existence of those around you.
Understand, there is nothing to attain – but that “nothing” is hidden from many. Reflect upon this when you have a chance – it may bear you much precious fruit.

The Animal Welfare League was founded in 1935 by compassionate humanitarians to “relieve the suffering among animals.” Today, the League operates two shelters in the Chicago area. Our facilities care for more than 20,000 homeless and abandoned animals each year.
Our founding shelter, located on Wabash Avenue in Chicago, receives unwanted and stray animals in an extremely impoverished area of the City. The shelter also conducts cruelty investigations, rescues animals and picks up stray animals in the community.
Our facility in Chicago Ridge is a full-service shelter open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to receive stray animals. This shelter can house more than 1,200 animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, ferrets, small mammals, amphibians, reptiles, wild and farm animals. Both facilities accept all species of animals who come through its doors. In accordance with our mission, no animal is ever refused.
The League believes that all animals deserve a second chance at life with caring and compassionate owners.
We offer a multitude of programs and services for our community... both two-legged and four-legged.

Although you don't really think of it much of the time, a huge part of living in the food world is all about innovation. Food companies are forever trying to top themselves with new burgers, dips and sides, or they're trying to figure out ways to improve on flagship offerings. But while that innovation's given us plenty of really cool stuff, there are some really, really bad food inventions out there that we really, really should have recognised as a bad idea.
I'm not here to talk about pineapple on pizza or anything else that's polarising - no, some things should simply not be, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say that a Flamin' Hot Cheetos Thanksgiving turkey is one of those things that we should have thought about, and never, ever brought to life.
Do you ever sit down with your family and loved ones at Thanksgiving, look at the turkey painstakingly prepared by your mom over several stressful hours, and say to everybody: "Gee, you know what this meal needs? A load of that snack which sent that rapper Lil Xan to hospital that one time. Wait, Mom, why are you crying?"
But while I feel like this is a bad idea, there's a restaurant out there that decided to not only make this, but knowingly inflict it on other people. Some deeply, deeply disturbed individual at Reynolds Kitchen has given us an idea for the Flavor Blasted Turkey, which is exactly as it sounds: a Thanksgiving turkey, coated in crushed-up Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
Of course, this is little more than a demented serving suggestion, but even so, the Flamin' Hot Cheetos turkey has caused quite a bit of division online, as Twitter, ever quick to polarise, is split pretty much down the middle on this alternative Thanksgiving bird.
Pretty much even, isn't it? Look, I'm not going to convince you guys either way; you're either for this or you aren't, but while I can't tell you to go to a psychiatrist, what I can do is refer you to a doctor who explains why it's probably not a good idea to coat a turkey in Flamin' Hot Cheetos.
Long story short: there's a reason that the cheesy snack sent Lil Xan to the hospital, and Dr. Robert Glatter, emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital, says that eating that many Cheetos in one sitting could send you on a similar path to Lil Xan. No, I don't mean it might make you a famous rapper - I mean it might send you to the emergency room.
Speaking to MensHealth, Dr Glatter explained that the Cheetos would increase the acid in your stomach significantly, leaving your stomach lining inflamed. When you bring nausea, abdominal pain and oh God, so much burning, into the equation, you're looking at discomfort that could lead you going to the hospital.
But even so, Glatter suspects you're probably going to try it anyway (because you are), and has one final piece of probably-futile advice: for Pete's sake, please don't overdo it. "The spice can settle into the meat, so you're eating more than what's just on the surface of the turkey," he explains, saying it'll take a lot less to make you sick than what you're thinking. "It’s a recipe for disaster in my mind, creating a perfect storm for an ER visit on Thanksgiving."
Well, there you have it, folks. Whether you're having your turkey with Flamin' Hot Cheetos or just with stuffing and cranberry sauce, the most important thing to remember this Thanksgiving is to enjoy it. Oh, and try not to end up in the emergency room.

Here at Flight Centre, we're proud to bring you the lowest possible fares on all Economy Class flights. Whatever your destination, a Flight Centre Economy Class fare will get you there.
Today's Economy Class flights offer more luxury than you might have become accustomed to in the past. In a standard international Economy Class cabin, it's not uncommon to find ergonomically designed seats, complimentary meals and beverages with menus often designed by celebrity chefs, and personal seat-back entertainment systems with movies, TV shows, and games.
While domestic Economy Class fares tend to offer fewer benefits than their international counterparts, particularly on low-cost carriers, you will still often have personal entertainment units and meals included. If you're flying with a budget airline or only travelling a short distance, such benefits may not be included in your fare but will most likely be available for purchase.

This workshop is about playing the ji, or underlying groove. Topics include: useful patterns, time awareness, accompaniment, balance, interaction, sensitivity, and groove. Discussion and exercises will cover new ideas for practicing and thinking about ji playing.
Commonly translated as "lion dance," the shishi mai of Edo (the old name for Tokyo) consists of one person as the shishi and three accompanying musicians playing taiko, atarigane, and shinobue. Shishi mai performances are thought to bring good fortune and can often be seen at celebratory occasions. The version taught will be in the style of Wakayama Shachu.
This workshop will cover some effective techniques for playing the atarigane (hand-held gong). Topics include: exploration of various sounds, grooves, vocalizing patterns, notation, traditional rhythms, and new applications. Participants are welcome to bring their own, but practice kane will be provided for use during the workshop.

After 38 years of international donors working with NGOs in Bangladesh and millions of dollars spent to try to alleviate poverty, 40 percent of the population still live on less than $1 per day with an annualised progress rate of about 1 percent. Surely after such a long experiment and such a slow progress, it is time to look for new methods to deal with this problem.
Microcredit has had limited successes where it has been implemented sensibly and prudently but it is now widely accepted that it is not a panacea and will not eradicate poverty alone. It relies on the assumption that everyone wants to be an entrepreneur and indeed has the skills to be an entrepreneur along with a feasible business idea. In the US about 11 percent of the adult population are entrepreneurs with a slightly smaller percentage in the UK and less again in Europe, so why would we assume that it would be a significantly higher percentage in Bangladesh?
Similarly, the interest payments on microcredit are so much higher than base rates in most cases that it is prohibitive to the start-up of business. In addition, microcredit has been used extensively for loans with no business base at all. There are many examples of very poor people borrowing very small amounts of money to buy a blanket in the winter for example, with no hope of ever repaying and ultimately sustaining by simply repackaging their loan into a new loan when they cannot make repayments.
An alternative social solution now very much in vogue is asset-giving where the ultra poor are given an asset, such as a cow or goats. They are given a weekly stipend to enable them to feed the animals and some training in animal husbandry. The jury is still out on the success of this method but at its root it is still an entry into entrepreneurship and leaves the recipient with all the vulnerability of very small-scale agriculture. Animals get sick and die, weather is unpredictable and market conditions change, all problems more easily managed with economies of scale. If you have fifty cows and one dies then you sustain but if you have one cow and it dies then you are out of business with no start-up capital to begin again.
It must therefore be time to turn problem of poverty on its head, look at it from another angle entirely.
What is needed to eradicate poverty in rural Bangladesh? Sustainable employment. The vast majority of people want a job. Jobs are what people want and jobs will eradicate poverty.
Bangladesh is not a 'charity case' full of people waiting for a hand out, rather it is a huge source of manpower waiting for the opportunity to work; a people with dignity. So now the problem we need to solve is not one of poverty eradication, but of employment creation.
Employment creation is a very different challenge from the problem of poverty eradication. We have turned a problem into a challenge and the challenge of employment creation quite clearly belongs in the sphere of business.
Readymade garments (RMG) have been the most successful industry in the history of Bangladesh employing around 5 million people and responsible for more than 70 percent of GDP, but the benefit that RMG brings to the people is small by comparison. The biggest problem is one of location. Factories are located in areas convenient to factory owners or in specified export zones, and are staffed largely by economic migrants from the villages. A workforce located in their own villages, workers living in their own homes, would likely bring much greater benefit in poverty reduction to a larger number of people.
There are however, specific issues associated with getting rural Bangladesh to work. Firstly the population is largely illiterate or semi-literate, secondly there is seasonal work available mainly in the agricultural sector and thirdly, it is a population with little or no previous experience of the specific disciplines of paid employment. In addition, since we would all aim to find a utopian solution, we must therefore aspire to creating employment that is fairly paid, good quality, flexible and local.
Employment is therefore required that will enhance rural life and dissuade economic migrants from moving to the city.
Bangladesh is a small country, some 400 miles from North to South and the roads are functional and adequate making transportation of goods entirely feasible. So with no overwhelmingly negative reasons against relocation and the possibility of a more productive workforce, why is business not relocating in droves to the countryside?
Without a doubt, employment creation in rural Bangladesh is possible. SMEs would likely lead the way, since they are the backbone of employment creation, but there is currently a lack of understanding of SME business and a lack of availability of business products for SMEs.
The handicraft sector has long been seen as an opportunity for rural employment for women but it is an opportunity that has not, anywhere near, reached its potential.
Similarly there is a need to make the handicraft sector in Bangladesh much more professional as an industry in order for it to achieve potential.
Increasingly there are compliance requirements imposed by those sourcing handmade products and a need to demonstrate basic health and safety measures for all workers -- requirements not even fully met by fair trade commitments. If these issues can be addressed by the handmade sector in Bangladesh then it will be ideally placed to monopolise on opportunities and maximise growth thereby achieving sustainable rural employment.
Work is required that is labour intensive, low-tech and not reliant on electricity and rural handmade is an ideal fit. However, I strongly believe that it is unreasonable to expect small cooperatives of artisans or small NGOs in rural Bangladesh will be able to penetrate export markets. Indeed finding a customer is only the first step.
Cooperatives and small NGOs with groups skilled in the craft but semi-literate and with no exposure to overseas trends are likely to find maintaining customers a challenge too far. The skills these cooperatives are missing are marketing, design, research and centralised finishing and packing, and these can all be more successfully supplied by SMEs. There is a clear need to combine the craft skills of the handicraft sector with the business skills of the SMEs in order to maximise opportunities in this field.
With a huge manpower source waiting for employment opportunities, labour-intensive work is the ideal. This is the basis of the business model of the sweater industry here today. The knitting machines used in the sweater industry are known in much of the rest of the world as 'handloom' knitting machines. Large fully automated knitting machines are available and used in parts of the world where the labour cost is much higher but do not make economic sense in Bangladesh where the labour cost is not prohibitive to labour-intensive work.
The basics of success are already with us. An acceptance that Bangladesh is a rich source of manpower, that a rural workforce is likely to be more productive than an urban one and that labour-intensive work makes economic sense in this country.
Since employment creation will ultimately lead to poverty eradication, and SMEs are likely to lead the field in rural employment creation maybe the donors could do worse than looking to partnerships with SMEs rather than NGOs to achieve the long sought-after aim of us all.

Want to know what people enjoy most about their days on board cruise ships? P&O did, so they set up a questionnaire on Facebook – and got some unexpected answers.
To no-one’s surprise, relaxing was the favourite activity, followed by sunbathing which I would have thought was pretty much the same thing; or does it require lots of concentration to ensure an even, all-over tan?
Given that their ships are in port on more days than they are at sea, perhaps we might have expected “seeing a new place” and taking excursions to have secured more votes, unless their relatively low score is because P&O passengers have “been there, done that, got the T-shirt” and there are few new places left for them.
Food remains at the forefront of many passengers’ thoughts, which is why some look forward to spending their days “looking at the menus for the evening meal.” And we’ll have to forgive those who considered “midnight snacks” to be a popular daytime activity.
I’d like to think P&O will pay attention to those who said they would like to sunbathe if only “all the flipping beds” had not gone, and take note that, disappointingly, art scored one single, solitary vote.
Although the crew probably have their own way of dealing with passengers like that. If I could have a day at sea for every senior officer who met his wife working or travelling on board ship, I would be away for months. It must be something to do with the motion of the ocean.

Today, we are one week into Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2012.
Last week, a press release was put out about the story of our own Debbie Laster. and her brave battle with breast cancer. In the spirit of Breast Cancer Awareness month, we would like to now “share outside of Panel Built” the story, and advice, of Debbie Mawyer, Debbie Laster’s office-mate and primary means of support throughout her therapy. Debbie M., whose mother had undergone treatment for Stage 3 cancer years before, has been gracious enough to share her own words.
According to Debbie M., she and Debbie L. “gave each other inspiration,” that needs to be shared and spread as widely as possible. Throughout Debbie L.’s treatment and recovery, Debbie M. said her primary goal was to “keep the stress outside the office,” by any means necessary. Whether “laughter… or good faith healing,” Debbie M. knew her role as a team player was to help focus on “how to play the curveball” that Debbie L.’s diagnosis had thrown. Incredibly, Debbie L. never missed a day, and “wouldn’t even leave early,” despite exhaustion from her radiation therapy.
Debbie M.’s experiences with cancer not only helped her aid Debbie L., but also helped her gain overall knowledge of preventive measures, a process she calls “inspiration taken forward.” Debbie M. had some very informative and easy-to-implement steps for a more preventive lifestyle.
First and foremost, “it doesn’t stop after treatment.” This mindset applies to both patients and supporters alike. For patients, don’t let the completion of your treatment be the end-all goal. Once your treatment is over, take a page out of Debbie L.’s book. Walk that extra quarter-mile. Forego that extra snack. Your strength and stamina will come back 100%, but it takes time. For supporters, think of it more like a metaphor. Don’t let your spreading of awareness stop after October. Any advice you can give, event you can attend, or donation you can make is just as important through the other 11 months of the year. The National Breast Cancer Foundation even has a program set up called the Early Detection Plan. Setting up an EDP allows the NBCF to send you reminders about when to do self-exams and when to schedule your clinical exams.
Next, “read the ingredient labels.” Does that ingredient list have all kinds of confusing names and preservatives? If so, do a little research. Some ingredients are rumored to have links to cancer. And remember, it doesn’t matter who you are: age, race, and gender do not factor in when considering your potential of contracting cancer.
For more information, check out the original press release chronicling Debbie Laster’s treatment and the lasting effect it has had on her life.
Also, we at Panel Built, Inc. will be showing full support during Breast Cancer Awareness month. Make sure to check us out on Facebook, and keep track of what we are doing to help spread awareness.
According to the National Breast Cancer Foundation, every $100 provides a mammogram to a woman in need. Well, somewhere out there, a woman will receive her necessary screening, thanks to the efforts of Panel Built, Inc. and its dedicated employees.
Through our fundraising and donations, Panel Built was able to donate $148 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation. However, it doesn’t stop there. Through other efforts such as wearing pink ribbons or participating in Pink Friday (which was a huge hit), Panel Built was able to help raise awareness as well as money.
“We were able to bring awareness and a sense of encouragement to those who have gone through [breast cancer],” says President Mike Kiernan. Though every dollar helps that much more, Breast Cancer Awareness Month was a great success.
Providing one woman with the opportunity for an examination makes for a satisfying month. Every new case is one more case too many, and the opportunity to detect Breast Cancer ahead of time cannot be overlooked, despite lack of personal funds. Together with the National Breast Cancer Foundation, perhaps we can prevent one more tragedy from happening.
Just because October is over doesn’t mean the awareness should stop. Help us by doing your part 12 months out of the year. Volunteer, donate, or help by raising awareness in your community. Every case is one case too many.

I've been reading through hundreds of postings in the Maryland, Virginia and DC forums about where to move to this summer. It's a hard choice because we are both in the Air Force and this will probably be our last duty location. We are looking for a home to purchase that we can grow into over the next 5-10 years. We can afford to buy a home up to $600k and we have found plenty of homes to choose from (We are looking in the Fort Washington area). We have a 15 month old son that will eventually be going to school, so schools are important to us. Everything sounds great right? Here's the kicker...I'll be working in Chantilly VA and my wife will be working at Andrews AFB MD. Ultimately, I'm thinking it will be better to live in MD because I don't want my son sitting in traffic for 3 hours a day. Also, I think I'll have an easier commute (relatively speaking of course) because I'll be going against traffic for the most part.
- Home purchasing is more expensive because of higher closing costs and taxes.
- I hear Prince Georges County has bad schools.
- My commute from Ft. Washington to Chantilly VA would be easier than Chantilly VA to Andrews AFB MD.
- Day to day traffic in MD is better than in VA.
- Vehicle tax, and income tax is not an issue because we will still be residents of Vermont.
Please let me know what you think and if I am forgetting to take something else into consideration.
If day to day traffic in Maryland is better than Virginia, it is not much better.
Commute from Ft. Washington to Chantilly is not a reverse commute if you use the beltway (which is probably the best way to go). It's a long way to Chantilly.
All PG schools are not bad. I don't know much about Ft. Washington area schools though.
That's about what I know.
Thanks for the info. I knew the beltway part of the commute wasn't going to be a reverse commute, but I figured that was only a portion of the whole commute. What kind of timelines do you think we're talking here?
Does anyone know anything about the Ft. Washington schools?
What kind of timelines do you think we're talking here?
That's a good question. I used to live off Rt.1 south of Alexandria and it was a long drive from there. It's been a while, so I couldn't give accurate estimate now.
You are easily looking at a 1-1.5 one way commute. First, you will have to use the beltway which is always backed up at all hours of the day. Second, Rt. 7 is a nightmare at all times, especially thru Tysons. The toll road is an option but it's busy as well. Ft. Washington is a great community but the schools are iffy!
Thanks for the info. The more info I get, the easier my choices become. We've changed our minds so much in the past couple of months because we keep finding new factors that play a part. I just did a search last night for the Ft. Washington schools. I didn't like what I found. Every site I went to had them near the bottom of the list in the state, in a state that isn't exactly known for good schools.
We have about 4 more months to make a decision. We are probably going to go out there in May and try to make a decision but the decision must be made by August at the latest.
Take a look at the Virginia side of the river. The area along Franconia Rd. is nice.
I personally would live in Virginia. Much better schools as a whole. PG county schools are horrendous for the most part. Overcrowded. The beltway is bad no matter where you're at, but I think you'll be headed through the mixing bowl, which is a nightmare(at least until they finish the bridge).
Chantilly to MD during rush hour could easily take 2 1/2 hours.
I just talked to a person that's on a business trip to my duty section for a couple of days. He lives about 4 miles SW of Woodbridge and commutes to Ft. Mead every day (56miles). He said he leaves at 4:30 am to ensure he's over "the bridge" by 5:00 and the whole trip takes only an hour. So I'm guessing, that from Woodbridge to Andrews should be even shorter at that hour. I'm not too worried about my commute from Woodbridge to Chantilly. That's not a big deal, especially if I work shift work and drive at odd times.

Acclaimed as a world first, the South African Insurance Association’s initiative run by service provider Bright Media on its behalf has been running since 2005 throughout all South African provinces.
Michael McCann, chairman of the SAIA Consumer Education Committee says that reflecting on the nine years the initiatives have been running, it is true to say that we have learnt some lessons, however, what is important is that independent project evaluation has confirmed that we have enriched the lives of many thousands of South Africans by providing access to effective financial literacy as directed by the Financial Sector Charter.
“These initiatives have, for the most part, been collaborative efforts, the SAIA partnering with the Financial Service Board and others, and we are most gratified with the trust in and support for our projects to date. It is our aim to continue with this important work with the support of stakeholders who may wish to partner with us in the future,” concludes McCann.

I greet the organizers and participants in the Seventh World Congress Against the Death Penalty, being held in Brussels.
Human life is a gift we have received, the most important and primary gift, the source of all the other gifts and of all the other rights. And, as such, it needs to be protected. Moreover, for a believer, the human being was created in the image and likeness of God. However, both for believers and non-believers, each life is good and its dignity must be protected without exceptions.
Hence, capital punishment implies a grave violation of the right to life that every person has. While it is true that human societies and communities must often face very grave crimes committed against the common good and the security of people, it is equally true that today there are other means to expiate the harm caused, and detention systems are increasingly effective at protecting society from the evil that some individuals can cause. On the other hand, we must never abandon the conviction to offer even those who are guilty of crimes the opportunity to repent.
For this reason, it never ceases to be a positive sign that there are increasingly more countries that focus on life and that no longer employ the death penalty, or have eliminated it completely from their criminal legislation.
The Church has always defended life, and her view on the death penalty has matured. Hence, I wished that this point be modified in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. The death penalty was long considered an appropriate response to the gravity of certain crimes and also to protect the common good. However, the dignity of a person is not lost even when he or she has committed the worst of crimes. No one’s life may be taken away, nor may one be deprived of the opportunity to embrace once again the community that he or she has wounded and caused to suffer.
The aim of the worldwide abolishment of the death penalty is a courageous affirmation of the principle of the dignity of the human person and of the conviction that the human race can address crime, and likewise reject evil, by offering the convict the opportunity and the time to mend the damage caused, to consider the act committed, and thus be able to change his or her life, at least interiorly.
I accompany you with my prayer and I encourage you in your works and deliberations, as well as the governments and all those who have responsibilities in their countries, so that the necessary steps may be taken towards the total abolition of the death penalty. It is in our power to recognize the dignity of each person and to work so that other lives not be eliminated, but won for the good of all society.

In an interview with RIR, Vikram Singh Punia, President of JSC Pharmasyntez talks about the opportunities in the pharmaceutical market in Russia.
How do you evaluate the Russian pharmaceutical market in the current difficult economic environment?
In the short term, we, of course, lost profits, since we import active ingredients, while the prices of our finished product are fixed in rubles, and we have no right to raise them, because our products are included on the VED (Vital and Essential Drugs) list.
In the long term, I feel confident that Western sanctions will have a positive effect on us. First of all, we will become more competitive, due to the fact that all products of foreign companies depend on the value of the dollar and the euro, and we pay rubles for everything, except for active ingredients. Secondly, the sanctions and the economic recession provided the impetus for us to begin our own production of active ingredients, for practically our entire product line.
Just this year, Pharmasyntez will invest about 1.5 billion rubles into the construction of a high-tech manufacturing plant in Bratsk, which will produce active ingredients. We must give due credit to the government, which has become actively involved in our project, and has allocated 300 million rubles towards it.
I feel confident that in the near future, a law will be adopted giving additional preferences to Russian pharmaceutical manufacturers, which produce finished products using their own active ingredients.
It is believed that Indian medicines will be able to replace Western drugs in the Russian market, but there is still a preference in Russia for Western medicine. Why is that?
I would say that Russian medications will eventually replace Western medications, especially when it comes to the VED. People think that Western medicines are better, but those Russian factories, which have received the GMP Certificate from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, produce the same quality products, but at more affordable prices. Therefore, the change of preferences, due to growing confidence in the quality of domestic medicines, will take some time.
Why do Indian drugs occupy such a small share of the Russian market? How can this situation be changed?
I have three specific pieces of advice for the Indian companies. The first – carry out serious work when it comes to the documentation on preclinical and clinical trials, and the formation of the dossier, which would correspond to the requirements set by Russian regulatory authorities.
Second – localize your production in Russia and thus take advantage of the preferences available to local producers.
Third – find a reliable partner who can take over the registration tasks and maybe even the manufacturing (localization) of the product, and thus provide access to the market – promotion and sales. Or open your own fully staffed office in Russia.
Statistics show that we are one of the fastest growing pharmaceutical companies in Russia, if not the fastest. Every year we are growing by 70 percent to 100 percent. In an interview with you three years ago, I said that we would reach the level of $250 million by the end of 2015. In fact, if the exchange rate of the ruble remains stable, we will achieve these figures.
I hope we will earn 7.8 billion rubles this year, which, of course, is in line with the plans that we set 3 – 4 years ago. The most ambitious plans can be seen in our portfolio – today we already have three operating plants. Last year we bought a large and first-class factory in Tyumen, which was built by the Chemopharm Company, which is now part of the Novartis Group. It operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, we are currently building three new plants: in St. Petersburg – for oncology products, in Bratsk – to produce active pharmaceutical ingredients, and in Chemkent, Republic of Kazakhstan – for solid dosage forms. This will be our first plant outside of Russia. Of course, the topic of exports is important for us, and in addition to the Russian market, would like to expand, for starters, into the CIS markets, to which we have already started exporting this year.
Thus, as of today, we have three working plants, and three new factories under construction, all of which should start operations in the upcoming year. And, of course, we are planning to reach a half a billion dollars of turnover by 2018.

The children have been working so hard this week. We have be sorting lots of different objects and explaining our reasoning in Maths.
In Phonics, we have been revising the alphabet- looking at upper and lower case letters, specifically the vowels. We have also been using our phonics hats to practise our blending for reading.
In Geography, we have learnt lots of new vocabulary and talked about maps, including natural and human features. The children enjoyed looking at Google earth and zooming in to lok at our school. Lots of themare keen to try and find their own homes on Google Earth now! The childen then made their own maps for Fairy tale land. On Tuesday we looked at more maps and used the compass points to diect each other from one location to another.
The children have settled well into the new routines of Year 1 and really impressed us with their independent writing, producing some fantastic writing about fairy tale characters.

I absolutely love Beauty and the Beast and I LOVE reading retellings of the story. Eye of the Beholder is a good one, I just flew through the story.
Burke was a marine and got hit during the rescue mission. When he got home, he and his army buddies formed a vigilante team, to help people. It was good until the day, he couldn't save everyone. Plagued with that mission, he suffers from severe PTSD and rarely leaves his room in the palace on the remote island where he lives.
Rose escaped to the island under in the pretense in order to escape her stalker. As their world collide, the story unfolds. I love the friendship and relationships in the story, Burke and Rose bring out the best in each other.

Capsugel, the global leader in capsule manufacturing, announced today the availability of the 000-sized Licaps® capsules. Capsugel views this new size as a "superior delivery alternative to soft gels" in the dietary supplement industry.
Favorite formulas from all category segments that were previously encapsulated in size 0 and 00 Licaps can now be delivered in this largest Licaps size. The new capsule size offers a 1200 mg fill capacity, which is roughly equivalent to the most common soft gel size, 20 minims or one gram per dose. The new size can accommodate the fill of a 22 minim soft gel depending on the bulk density of the liquid formulation.
"Licaps capsules are the growing alternative with advantages over soft gels," said Robert Whitelaw, director of sales, marketing, and business development for Capsugel's Americas Region.
After the capsule is filled with the liquid, it is flushed with nitrogen to eliminate oxygen from the final sealed product, evidenced by a nitrogen bubble visible through the transparent capsule. Because the capsule has no plasticizers, it provides an effective barrier to oxygen transmission.
The robust seal further enhances the barrier to oxygen. Capsugel's patented liquid encapsulation by microspray (LEMS®) capsule sealing process creates eight times the seal zone area of a banded capsule, resulting in no need for banding and an effective one-piece fused capsule.
Because the capsule is less permeable than soft gels to oxygen, it effectively masks taste and unpleasant odors.
The "clean label" concept, i.e. no plasticizers, no additives, fewer excipients, no allergens, no GMOs.
"The Licaps market is growing by leaps and bounds. Development of the 000 size is an enormous extension of this extremely popular liquid delivery form," Whitelaw said.
"While the 000 is available to all dietary supplement markets, this new size is especially good news for the fish oil segment and the sports nutrition segment - both of which are popular and booming. Fish oil supplements commonly are sold in 1 gram dosages and can benefit from a Licaps capsule that will effectively mask taste and smell. The sports nutrition segment is looking for bigger and more potent dosages in one big package - delivered by size 000 Licaps with plenty of options for custom color and branding." In addition to delivering standard products in the 000 Licaps, Capsugel will also help customers customize liquid-fill formulas for this largest Licaps size.

Designed for kids in first through fourth grades, Cotton’s class will be hands-on. The kids are asked to bring a digital or disposable camera.
Cotton said it is best if parents come with the kids to help them through the process.
Following the class, Cotton will have a book signing for her book “Vedauwoo: Hidden Faces in Mysterious Places.” The book is nonfiction and focuses on how you can sees faces and things in the rock formations at Vedauwoo. “It was inspired by Mansface (in Green River),” Cotton said.
Cotton will have copies of the book for sale. They are $10 each.

...only to have the rays of morning sunshine break through your eyelids, and awaken your slumbering body. Opening your eyes you find you back in your bedroom, safe within the grasp of familiarity. Taking the headphones from your ears, you sit up, reminiscing on the dream you had last night, and the haunting melodies of Kveldssanger. The melodies so strong and moving, they supplanted whole experiences in your head, experiences based on the sheer strength of the songs, and their ability to tell stories, through minimal instrumentation and vocalization.
I guess this "review" is my visual interpretation of the music and the story it tells me. I might work on the conclusion later because i find it kind of weak, but i think the rest is pretty okay. I just wanted to try and do something a little different i guess, so hopefully its not too horrible lol.You'll find that in a lot of parts, the way i describe a setting or feeling, is the feeling i'm getting from the song, so it kinda goes hand in hand at some parts. So of course all constructive critsism is welcome, but i hope it wont be too much.
"yeah this is probably going to be a flamefest"
i hope its not, but i mean. it was an experiment. i don't plan on doing all of them like this, i just wanted to see how it would go.
you never know but Sputnikerians aren't generally big fans of the poetic shtick.
This isn't even a review though, that's why you need to brace for impact.
It's an interesting idea, but there's no description of the music whatsoever. Maybe a bit of both would've helped?
This dream of yours though, you might want to talk to someone about that.
Some parts of the atmosphere of the "dream" relate to the mood of the music, but your right, its not really a review, just what i visualize when i listen to the album.
It's actually a very interesting idea.
I've never heard Ulver (to do list) but maybe mentioning how a change in tone in a song or how one soft and chilled out song followed by something more abrasive influenced the "dream".
Again, just an example because i've never heard this band before.
i'll probably edit some of it when i get the time. i would do some now, but mentally, i'm just kinda drained due to the hour/actually writing the review. but thank you for your feedback, because i feel like your comments could make this review lots better.
But, uh, brace yourself ok?
I should check this out. Nice review.
I haven't listened to Ulver yet, I do like Garm's work on Borknager's The Olden Domain however. I have listened to Arcturus but haven't fully warmed up to it.
I think Ulver is far and away his best project even though i do greatly enjoy his Borknagar work. Ulver was just so innovative for their time and continue being so today, its just great stuff.
Is there a connection between Ulver and Arcturus?


text: Solar and Terrestrial Radiation: Methods and Measurements basically summarizes instruments used in routine measurements of solar and terrestrial radiation at the earth's surface. Because of developments in this field, these certain instruments are sufficiently relevant for meteorological and climatological purposes. Although the emphasis of the book is on the radiation instrumentation, basic theory is still covered and discussed for the purpose of understanding basic radiative processes in the atmosphere. The featured instruments in this book show that if used properly, these instruments can eliminate certain deficiencies in climatological data and routine monitoring of the radiative regime of the surface and lower atmosphere. However, the scope of the study is limited in which they cannot be of use in terms of being precise in studies of climatic change, spectral distribution of atmospheric radiation, and other specific meteorological and technological requirements. This book is designed to be of valuable use to meteorologists, climatologists, and physicists. Students, specifically graduate students, can also make use of the book as well.

Drinking Water for Lipari Island, The urgent advance supply guarantees drinking water during the high season, Water treatment projects in Italy, Euro Mec was contracted for the supply of a new sea water desalination plant producing 450 m3/hr, 10,800 m3/day, of drinking water to Lipari Island. The project kicked off with the advance delivery of the first section of the reverse osmosis plant just in time for the island's summer high season when drinking water demand peaks.
Lipari is the largest of Italy’s Aeolian Islands, a registered UNESCO World Heritage Site and popular tourist destination.
Lipari’s population doubles in the Summer months putting pressure on the island’s drinking water supply and for this reason Euro Mec was contracted to supply a drinking water plant treating water from the surrounding Tyrrhenian Sea.
The plant was designed to be realized in different stages. The first stage consisted of the urgent advance supply of the first section of the plant with a flow rate of 150 m³/hour, operating 24 hours per day for a total production of 3600 m³/day of drinking water. This important advance delivery was completed in July just in time to accommodate the peak of the high season in August when tourists flock to the picturesque islands for Summer holidays.
The total flow rate of the desalination plant is 450 m3/hr, 10,800 m3/day, and this is achieved in three sections, each of which produces 150 m3/hr. Each section can be managed independently to satisfy the fluctuating demand for drinking water on the island.
The water treatment plant is a skid mounted reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plant producing drinking water from sea water and was designed to work with power supplied by a photovoltaic system. The unique configuration of the plant optimizes performance and also ensure easy access for management and maintenance of the equipment.
Euro Mec engineers and technicians worked on the installation and start up of the plant and provided training and ongoing support to local operators to ensure the high quality of the drinking water being produced.

There are quite a few in Hammer Blow than you would expect.
(Kev plans to "train" us by killing us in a private room to increase his sdr in the name of "training") >_>..
LOL.. who said you're gonna get killed?
Please do attend though, this strategy would help in clan wars.
Well mudkip doesn't know them all though =] so i have a few to show you too.
nades fail in this game. This is a minute advantage that might only help in the first 10 seconds of the game when everyone rushes.
We can use the grenades to gain ground on the enemy. I will try to come, but I am pretty much out of business on week days. The earliest I can be on is 6:00PM EST.
By "set" were you referring to those grenades released with the right mouse button that just are just "let go" slightly?
Another genius way of finding nade spots: Radar , Stare , Calculate , and Throw .
I think when our clan stablizes soon, I'll have people learn some Nade spots.
I think nade sets are best used against campers, however if your really pro with good with nade sets you can get the people that you see on the radar such as "UAV'd and people your team shoot" however you have to be really fast and know what direction they're going. time to apply some physics +_+!
Some of the better, less known nade spots let you hit the campers, especially at 1 (or 2) whichever bomb spot is inside the base with all the tanks in Hammer Blow. Hell, there are a bunch of nice nade spots that can be thrown onto the defuser. If you guys want, I can show you an epic nade spot for bomb spot 1 in dual sight that hits the defuser everytime as long as you plant it in the right spot.
Thats the type of nade sets I would want to learn, idc about all the anti-camp nade spots cause you'd have to know someone was there, and then run all the way to the nade throwing area and... yeah its a 50% they'll have relocated by then. [lame] I prefer just knowing nade sets for bomb areas Best way to kill .
I'm thinking about banning him cause clearly since we beat ActKK he wants to steal our secrets and tell them to Basic.
^ Basic beat ActKK this morning.. first round ezpz.
See, stealing our strats. GDFO MINIKIP.

While there have been plenty of studies on the value of inbound tourism to Spain (and the correlating value of hotel investment in its more popular regions), the value of the country’s outbound travel trends hasn’t received nearly as much attention.
A new study from analytics company GlobalData found Spanish outbound tourism is expected to grow from $47.9 billion this year to $64 billion in 2021, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.6 percent.
GlobalData’s latest report, "Tourism Source Market Insight: Spain - Analysis of tourist profiles and flows, spending patterns, destination markets, risks and future opportunities," reveals Spain’s economy has been growing for 17 consecutive quarters. As a result, Spanish tourists are likely to have an increase in disposable income to travel abroad, reflected by GlobalData’s high growth forecast.
From 2017 to 2019, expenditure grew exponentially at a CAGR of 12.1 percent from $38.1 billion to $47.9 billion. This dramatic rate of growth indicates the growing profitability of Spain as a tourism source market. Spain’s increasing growth in outbound expenditure is one of the highest in Europe. The country’s forecast CAGR of 15.6 percent is more than double the growth of particular G7 countries between 2019 and 2021, such as France and Italy.
GlobalData forecasts that Spanish outbound spending will start to increase at a higher rate on sightseeing and entertainment activities. The country’s financial situation going from strength to strength enables Spanish tourists to spend more money on "add-on" activities such as these.
While outbound tourism expenditure is expected to grow continuously for years to come, domestic overnight stays are expected to slow down in 2021. This forecast may be as a result of usual domestic tourists now utilizing LCCs to travel internationally, according to GlobalData.
