Improvements in Billing, including integration with one more external taxation engine (Vertex O Series), the ability to create correcting orders and to correct existing reseller transactions, and more.
An improved upgrade procedure that allows upgrading the platform, separate from services.
An improved APS SDK that provides more integration points of the platform for cloud applications and external systems.
You may want to know what business value this Odin Automation release will bring to you and your customers.
Starting with version 7.3, Odin Automation supports one more external taxation engine Vertex O Series. For each taxation rule, providers or resellers can define one of the supported taxation methods: (1) built-in taxation, (2) AvaTax for Communications, formerly called BillSoft EZtax (if installed), or (3) Vertex (if installed). Resellers can use their provider's account in Vertex (if allowed by their provider) or their own accounts. The integration with Vertex is not enabled by default after an Odin Automation deployment or upgrade. A provider can install an additional Billing component (the bm-tax-plugin-vertex package) to enable Vertex functionality. Watch the demo video here.
For additional information, refer to the OA Billing Provider's Guide >> System Configuration (System Administration) > OA Billing Configuration > Configuring Financial Settings > Configuring Taxation Settings > Tax Calculation via Vertex O Series.
Resellers need sufficient balance to provision resold services to customers. Some resellers have a credit limit allowed by their provider to continue their activity when their balance becomes negative. Odin Automation provides a mechanism of automatic balance replenishing (balance top-up) when it is insufficient. This enables resellers to continuously provide services to customers.
Previously, resellers were able to use only the default payment method for balance top-up. Now, they can select which payment method to use for automatic top-up of their balance (it can be the same payment method as the default one for an account). Watch the demo video here.
For additional information, refer to the Getting Started with Billing – Reseller's Guide >> System Initial Configuration > Replenishing Balance > Configuring Balance Auto-Replenishment.
Bill their customers for all of their subscriptions on each billing date, including suspended subscriptions.
Bill their resellers on each billing date for all of the services they or their customers use, whether or not the corresponding reseller subscriptions are suspended.
Previously, invoices generated on billing dates included only the charges for the currently active subscriptions.
A customer fails to pay for a new billing period (period A). The respective service subscription is suspended. The customer's account is put on credit hold.
The customer does not pay for the service for three more billing periods, B, C, D. The service remains suspended. The customer's account remains on credit hold.
The customer eventually pays for billing period A. The service is activated.
(unconditional behavior) The system issues an invoice, charging the customer for billing periods B, C, and D. The customer has to pay a comparatively large bill at once. The provider has to process a payment covering several billing periods.
(configurable option) Unless configured to behave as before, for each billing period, the system issues its own invoice charging the customer separately for billing periods B, C, and D on each respective billing date. The customer can continue making regular payments in manageable amounts. The provider can close each period on time.
A reseller fails to pay for a new billing period (period A). The reseller's subscription is suspended (the reseller's account is put on credit hold). The reseller's customers continue using their services.
The reseller does not pay for the service for three more billing periods, B, C, D. The service remains suspended. The reseller's customers continue using their services. The system does not issue invoices for these periods to the reseller.
The reseller eventually pays for billing period A. The service is activated.
(unconditional behavior) The system issues a consolidated invoice to the reseller, charging the reseller for the reseller's subscription and for the services the reseller's customers consumed during periods B, C, and D. The reseller has to pay a comparatively large bill at once. The provider has to process a payment covering several billing periods.
The reseller does not pay for the service for three more billing periods, B, C, D. The service remains suspended. The reseller's customers continue using their services.
(configurable option) Unless configured to behave as before, for each of the billing periods B, C, and D, the system issues its own invoice to the reseller on each respective billing date. Each such invoice includes the charges for the reseller's subscription and for the services the reseller's customers consumed during the respective billing period. The reseller can continue making regular payments in manageable amounts. The provider can close each period on time.
The capability is regulated by a new setting, Bill for Subscriptions on Hold. When enabled for a customer class, the invoice for any billing period for each customer (or reseller) of this class will include the charges for all the services the customer (or reseller and reseller's customers) consumed in that period, including those services which were suspended. The new setting does not affect the charge calculation logic. The applicable charges are calculated in the same way as before, whether the setting is enabled or disabled. Watch a demo video here.
For new ("clean") Odin Automation installations, the setting is enabled in the default customer class. After an upgrade from a previous version, the setting is disabled by default in the existing customer classes, to ensure consistency with the provider's existing billing policies.
For additional information, refer to the OA Billing Provider's Guide >> Configuring Credit Terms.
In version 7.2, the only way to fix an incorrect-but-already-provisioned order was to issue a credit or a debit memo. Similarly, there was no way to fix a not-yet-invoiced reseller transaction. In some cases, this can be inappropriate from the accounting point of view.
Starting with version 7.3, Odin Automation features the abilities to create correcting orders and to correct existing reseller transactions.
If an order was created with incorrect details or prices, it is now possible to correct the order, even if the order has the "Completed" status and the respective service has already been provided.
Reseller transactions store the charges to be paid by a reseller to a provider until the reseller receives a billing order for his or her subscription from the provider.
A Provider can correct any of the reseller's transactions within any billing period by using the Provider Control Panel. For example, a provider can cancel the reseller's transactions that reflect the refund adjustment in a customer's order.
Exceptional cases for no-refund policy.
A company may have a no-refund policy for its resellers: the company will not refund a reseller if their end-customer cancelled their subscription before the end of the subscription period. In exceptional cases (e.g., an end-customer purchased a three-year subscription by mistake and canceled it on the second day of the subscription period) a reseller can ask the company for a refund.
Some APS applications have their own billing logic implemented, and report the usage to Billing not as a resource amount, but directly as its money equivalent. So, if a miscalculation happens on the side of such an application, there is a need to correct the respective billing order in OA Billing.
An application reported a $30 USD usage, while the actual usage was $25 USD. The respective billing order should be corrected ($25 instead of $30).
In terms of Odin Automation, correcting orders are orders of the CO order type (i.e., change orders). The system keeps the relations between order details in a correcting order and the details in the order it corrects (note that these relations are internal and are not displayed in the Control Panel).
Corrected reseller transactions are processed in accordance with the standard order flow – they get to a reseller's billing order. Also, there is an option (configured when the correction is made) to refund directly to the reseller's payment method, without the need to wait for the billing order. Watch the demo video here.
In case of correcting orders, it is possible either to create a credit memo (increase the account's balance) or to refund directly to the account's payment method (configured when the correction is made). Watch the demo video here.

May 20, 2011. Pro Israel supporters gathered at the Israeli Consulate in NYC waving flags and holding signs. The came to oppose Obama's actions in support of terrorists like Hamas and his betrayal of Israel, the only Democracy in the Middle East.
A number of major Jewish organizations, including the Zionist Organization of America (ZOA), RAJE, Jewish Action Alliance, among others, gathered at Second Avenue and 42nd St to protest President Obama's suicidal call that Israel should retreat to the indefensible 1967 borders.
Obama endorsed Palestinians' demand for their own state based on the pre-1967 borders. The break with longstanding U.S. policy is a grave danger to Israel.
Democrat NY State Assemblyman, Dov Hikind came out in support of Israel, NOT Obama.
He made some very important statements to the press, very clear criticisms of the Obama betrayal. (see video from approx 00:42 to 5:08 ) Hikind also said that even though he was a Democrat he will not be able to support this President for re-election.
This same NY Fox reporter left Hikind and asked supporter, Hillary Markowitz, "Why not give them back the land so there will be peace?" (was she on automatic pilot?) Markowitz deftly replied (5:22 to approx 5:58), "After the Oslo Accord there were territories that were offered in peace and what did we get? The intifada, where thousands of people were injured and killed by terrorism. For the President, giving back land doesn't bring peace. You need a Peace Partner who recognizes Israel's right to exist. Giving back land does nothing..."
Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu are meeting Friday in Washington, DC. He is the most hostile president to Israel ever and this move will only cause more Arab terrorism.
As Prime Minister Netanyahu stated, these borders are "militarily indefensible." It's necessary to remember what Abba Eban said when he served as Israel's Foreign Minister (when he appeared at the United Nations following the Six Day War) he described the fragility of Israel's 1949-1967 map as Israel's "Auschwitz" lines ," said Rabbi Mordechai Tokarsky, Director of RAJE (Russian American Jewish Experience).
ZOA President Morton A. Klein said, "President Obama has severely harmed Israel's interests and America's interests. Today, we are ashamed of and frightened by America's policy regarding Israel. President Obama is the most hostile president to Israel ever. "
YET, as always, the Neturei Karta didn't miss a chance to throw Israel 'under the Bus" (along with President Obama) chanting, "Down, Down the Heretic, Terrorist State of Israel". Through ignorance or malice, either way it was a sickening display.
As they waved that Flag of Hatred representing Death to the Jewish State and her People: Disgusting. Foolish. Suicidal.
But, back in front of the Israeli Consulate, thankfully the chants of those who support Freedom and Democracy rang through the air : "We Stand With Israel, Don't Reward Terrorism and Obama Must Go !"

Congratulations to our client, St. Ignatius Catholic School in Meridian, Idaho, for a successful opening!
They were recently featured in Idaho Ed News, not only for their opening, but for their new approach on education.
I don’t consider myself that old and I still remember email being new. I also remember how threatened we felt by an email link or attached file that might make the screen go black. Or worse, make you lose a few files.
If only it were that simple still.
Threats of viruses, and worse, ransomware, can absolutely debilitate a company. “Ransomware, you may remember, is a nasty computer virus designed to hold data hostage until you pay a specific fee.”(Ransomware: A malicious gift that keeps on giving) Can you image having your systems locked and all you data held by some cyber pirate until you pay to have it released, or lose it forever? These attacks are on a global range. They are finding that some aren’t even about the money but the idea of bring a area of transportation, information, and more down to a screeching halt. And I’m sure even the smallest companies and communities assume they are safe. I mean, who even knows where Idaho is let alone think we have anything of value here. But just like a cold virus you could be getting while traveling, no one can truly predict the how or when of obtaining this type of threat to your company or organization.
Standard virus protection provided by most new devices may not be enough to truly protect your network from crashing down or being held hostage by some crook looking to make a few (thousand or million) dollars. Having a more sophisticated system in place can literally save your company more than just a tiny headache. If you aren’t sure about your current virus protection, contact your West Valley Technical Service technician to have an evaluation done and suggestion made that could save you from TODAY’S threats.
I don’t know about your school, office, or even household. But in mine, it’s like Dueling Banjos when it comes to Apple vs Android. Can’t we all just get along?
So if you are familiar with the debate, you probably understand there are already a bunch of differences.
I had to laugh the other day when my husband sent me “This is the easiest way to prevent malware on your Android device” from Apple News (from one of his many Apple devices). I was waiting to see a punch line instead of an article, like ‘just throw your Android away and get an Apple.’ But for those of us that love our Android devices, one of the main reasons is the incredible availability of apps, both through Google Play Store and other outside sources. And usually much cheaper than Apple Store versions.
You can also find a security app that will scan apps you download for any potential issues. I personally have Lookout on my phone, a free app in the Google Play Store. You can find and other tested anti-virus software for your android on CNET.
So if you love your Android like I do, and get sick of people telling you how unsecure your device is, or that your information can be easily compromised, rest assured. There are ways to protect yourself from malware and still enjoy the freedom and flexibility of an Android device. And if you are concerned that maybe you might have suspicious activity or applications on your device, remember that’s a great time to contact your West Valley Technical Services technician. We can clean, secure, and make your devices more efficient. Remember, even if you are upgrading to a newer device, a questionable app moved over to it can continue to cause you issues.
Spring has sprung, get that cleaning done!
It’s a given that when the sun starts shining through those windows, you immediately notice all the dust and clutter that has been gather around you over the winter. Yes, that even applies to our technology. Seems like the dust is in my keyboard, the fingerprints are all over my screens, and … what is that sticky stuff on my phone today!?!?!
Make sure you are using the right products for the right devices to remove, dust, fingerprints, and hiding bacteria and germs (yep, they ARE hiding out on your devices just WAITING to bring back last month’s sniffles.) PopSugar actually had a fun article out back in November called The Easiest Ways to Properly Clean Your Phone. “Neglecting to clean your cell phone is a nasty tech habit to break …(they) have been proven to carry bacteria, germs, even feces.” Eeeewww. Yep. Pretty gross. And those of you in schools thought the desks were gross.
Even USA Today posted a great little video on March 21st called 4 ways to declutter your technology for Spring Cleaning. With tips on cleaning the outside of your devices, they go on to talk about some important things to think about on the INSIDE of you devices as well. Remember the tip you learned about when to finally part ways with clothes in your closet? “If you haven’t opened it in the last 5 years, delete it.” Best quote, “We promise you. Your resume from 2012 isn’t useful.” If you are really concerned about deleting it forever (yeah, I get it, I’m one of those people, too) let West Valley Technical Services help you find the best backup solution.
But one of the other topics they hit on, as does OtterBox in Technology Spring Cleaning, isn’t just deleting old files, but backing up photos and videos. Create a little space so your device can operate more efficiently. OtterBox also reminds you to get rid of your old devices properly. Although you may want to go viral with a great video of blowing it up. Consider instead donating it or recycling it. Not sure how? That’s OK. Your West Valley Technical Services consultant can most certainly help you find the best way to get it out of your storage area.
And once you have gotten rid of the dinosaurs, cracked screens, and tablets that aren’t as good as the case they are in anymore, your WVTS technician can help you find new products to meet those needs. Or even refurbished ones if you’re looking for something more budget friendly.
Get to work! Those dust bunnies aren’t gonna hop away on their own.
Q) How old is too old when it comes to a computer?
A) Computers aren’t like cars or appliances that are designed to last for decades before being replaced. And even if a computer does survive years of service, chances are it won’t even support whatever the latest software needs are. As a general rule of thumb, 5 to 7 years tends to be the average lifespan for computer equipment. The standard warranty on computers is rarely longer than one year, and the longest we have ever seen is 5 years and even that was only on government purchases. So if your machine has lasted you 7 years or more, you should be proud of it, but consider purchasing a newer system if it starts to act up. Chances are, it’s not worth spending money on to repair at that point. As always, we will point you in the right direction should you reach out to us.
Q) I don’t see anything on my screen at all, but my computer is turned on. What does that mean?
A) The very first thing we check in cases like this is to make sure the cable that connects the monitor to your computer hasn’t come disconnected for whatever reason. You’d be surprised how often that is the cause! If that checks out, you’ll want to make sure the monitor is getting power (another common occurrence.) If all the connections are solid and everything is getting power, there is a chance that there is a hardware issue with the PC itself. In those cases, it’s a better idea to reach out to a local PC repair shop or a professional that is willing to come to where the PC is to look at it. If you are in the Boise, Idaho area, we would be happy to make a quick housecall in a case like this.
Q) How can I print from my mobile device?
One of the biggest problems facing most organizations, and usually the most expensive, is retaining good employees. Losing employees means lost productivity. Hiring new employees costs money to locate, interview, and train them. The same is true no matter what the industry and sector.
You wouldn’t think that the shortage of professional teachers might be caused by losing teachers to more than just age-forced retirement. I mean, teaching is such a great gig, right? (insert sarcastic face) Teachers do what they do because they love their clients … the kids. Not because they make lots of money and they are great chances for advancement. According to Stop Driving Teachers Out Of The Classroom — Focus Instead On Keeping Them There in Forbes, a growing number of teachers are retiring because the work is no longer worth the trade-off of time and resources they are forced to commit. “Constant upheavals in the curriculum, in testing regimes and even the way teachers are expected to teach have resulted in enormous strains on teachers, leaving many to feel they have no option but to leave the profession.” Although the article takes on a more ‘it’s the government’s fault’ type attitude, it brings a very valid point to light. Is the technology in the schools the best that district can afford and providing what teachers and student need to be keeping up with the workload and expectations of them?
A large number of private sector jobs are also the same. Not all employees are corporate ladder climbers. They want a stable job, where they feel they are appreciated and compensated commensurate to their output. When the employee no longer feels that the security of the position, the pay, or the benefits are worth how hard they are having to work, they will choose to move on to other employment if they can. In addition, hiring and retaining employees new to the workforce might prove difficult if the technology in the office isn’t helping them do their jobs … sometimes even holding them back.
Technology may be replacing some jobs (that’s a whole other blog article), but it is supposed to HELP people DO their jobs. Supplying teachers with training that is appropriate and innovative. Providing resources that help reduce or eliminate tedious work, clutter, and miscommunication increases productivity and job satisfaction. Providing staff with organizational and productivity tools (and the training they need to use them) might seem like an unnecessary expense when ‘the old way works fine.’ But you may be incurring MORE expense when you are having to look for new employees.
When you start planning out this year’s professional conferences to attend and come back with loads of great ideas and things you can be implementing in your organization, remember to give your West Valley Technical Services technician a call to help you make those transitions as smooth as possible.

If you have actually known this item, you will certainly be surer to consume it. Yeah, give thanks to so much for seeing this website. Again, we are the right website that provides you the right Anavar product. Naturally, the beginnings come to be the first thing that always we offer. You could not feel doubt of it. Well, merely purchase this product in the main site that we refer and also take the benefits.
Anavar is a preferred anabolic steroid that while frequently considered light is fairly effective. The mild category several have the tendency to give it is because of its incredibly high threshold of toleration. Both males and females can typically tolerate this steroid relatively well. In fact, this is the single most women pleasant anabolic steroid on the marketplace. This has the tendency to make numerous males assume the steroid will not be strong sufficient for them, and while it’s not a strong mass promoting steroid it can be extremely beneficial to the male athlete when utilized for the best reasons.
Anavar initially hit the marketplace in the 1960’s with G.D. Searle & co. The steroid was reported to lug various helpful restorative properties and also appreciated a high degree of success. The substance was typically used to generate weight gain required blog post surgery or infection or any type of disorder that caused effective weight loss. The hormone has also appreciated success in alleviating weakening of bones by promoting bone thickness in addition to proving outstanding in the treatment of prolonged direct exposure to corticosteroids. A little bit of an one-of-a-kind trait, Anavar has actually also confirmed effective in combating hepatitis as well as has actually been considered outstanding in the promotion of growth and advancement amongst kids who do not have correct hormone production.
However, as a result of FDA pressure Searle would discontinue the Anavar line in 1989. At this time, almost all Oxandrolone, the hormonal agent that is Anavar, would disappear from the world market as Searle had most international licensing rights. Six years later in 1995 Bio-Technology General CORP (BTG), currently Savient, would reestablish the Oxandrolone hormonal agent under the Oxandrin name. Unfortunately for the customer, BTG held a syndicate on the product, and this would certainly drive the cost with the roof. Since that time a couple of UNITED STATE pharmacies have begun producing common Oxandrolone, mostly Watson Pharmaceuticals, but it stays one of one of the most pricey anabolic steroids on the marketplace.
A vital note – Anavar is one of the most generally linked name of the Oxandrolone hormonal agent to this day. Nevertheless, the Anavar name has actually not been utilized by any pharmaceutical company given that 1989. Any kind of anabolic steroid supplier claiming to have human grade Oxandrolone under the Anavar name is lying to you.
Stacking with various anabolic steroids is a typical method and something many athletes and also bodybuilders do. Nonetheless, it does not imply that it is not possible to take just Anavar on its own. Due to the mild aspect of the medicine, there are different cycles offered for both males and females. Obtaining testimonials from muscle building and fat burning discussion forums can aid guide somebody down a dosage path that might prove a lot more advantageous for them based on their weight as well as intended objectives. Take a look at the best cutting cycles here.
Some stacking choices include Winstrol, Nolvadex, Creatine, any kind of Test/Testosterone, Human Growth Hormonal agent, any kind of form of Trenbolone, Masteron, Human Growth Hormonal agent, Dianabol (dbol), T3 Cytomel, Equipoise, Arimidex, Letrozole, Clenbuterol, Injectable Primobolan Depot or NPP (Nandrolone Phenylpropionate).
A typical dose is visiting begin at about 20 mgs a day and increase as much as 100 mgs a day, raising by 20 mgs each two-week duration. This way, the body can adjust to being on the steroid without being totally surprised with having a high dose ingested into the system.
Anavar is a light steroid and also males will certainly should utilize it in larger doses to get recognizable advantages.
Anavar was developed to treat problems of muscle losing as well as fast weight-loss, as is an usual factor for creation with any anabolic steroid. Created in 1964, by Searle Laboratories to treat such conditions, Searle is no longer out there as it was purchased and also taken in right into Pfizer in 2003.
Nevertheless, it was Searle’s advancement of Anavar that is of significance because this is a pharmacy that has brought us some of one of the most widely known medications as well as various other things we still use today, most significantly, Celebrex, Ambien, Dramamine and NutraSweet. As you can see Searle established some very important items over the years and also its development of Anavar is no exemption because with its beginning among the best anabolic steroids for both men and women would hit the shelves.
As a really moderate anabolic steroid Anavar is not well-suited for bulking cycles or obtaining stages; you will certainly not generate a substantial amount of lean muscle cells with its use when speaking of performance boosting functions; nonetheless, exactly what is generated will be solid muscle mass cells. The best benefits related to this certain steroid lie within muscle conservation and also metabolic activity.
This simply suggests Anavar has the ability to not only aid in decreasing body-fat yet protecting muscle tissue while on a calorie limited diet; even more, the even more muscle mass tissue we have the better our metabolic activity will certainly be consequently boosting the rate in-which body-fat is used for energy. Due to the fact that Anavar is apt for fat reduction and also muscle conservation it is frequently used by figure professional athletes throughout their competitors preparation, in addition to by typical gym rats that just wish to look leaner and also tighter at the coastline.
There are possible negative effects of Anavar, yet with self-confidence we could call this one of one of the most side effect friendly anabolic steroids of perpetuity. In fact, with proper use lots of adults will have the ability to supplement without the initial problem. To obtain the round rolling, estrogenic side effects are difficult with this steroid as it does not aromatize. This makes water retention and also gynecomastia impossible with Anavar. It likewise indicates blood pressure will certainly greater than likely be controlled as heavy excess water retention is the leading root cause of high blood pressure amongst anabolic steroid individuals.
On the androgenic front, androgenic side effects of Anavar are possible yet they are extremely not likely. Guy who supplement could incur hair loss if they are predisposed to male pattern baldness, acne if they are highly acne delicate and also possible body hair growth. Nevertheless, most males will certainly discover such results extremely unlikely. For women athletes, virilization is feasible, yet once more extremely not likely if dosing levels are of a liable nature. Genetic reaction will certainly determine the final end result, however many ladies that supplement sensibly must not have an issue. If virilization signs begin to show for any kind of factor, such as clitoral enlargement, body hair growth or a growing of the vocal chords, use should be ceased immediately. If ceased at the onset of signs they will certainly disappear rapidly. If virilization signs happen, make use of proceeds as well as the symptoms are neglected, they could come to be permanent.
Of the possible adverse effects of Anavar, one of the most worrying will certainly revolve around cholesterol. Information has shown that therapeutic doses of Anavar can subdue HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) by as much as 30% with efficiency doses leading to virtually 50% suppression. Efficiency doses could likewise increase LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) by as high as 30%. If you suffer from any kind of cholesterol issues you ought to not supplement with this steroid. If you are healthy sufficient for use, while it will take a concentrated initiative, healthy cholesterol can be preserved. Daily cardio activity is advised and your diet ought to be cholesterol pleasant. A cholesterol pleasant diet plan will be abundant in omega fatty acids, reduced in easy sugars and also saturated fats. Daily fish oil supplementation is suggested as is making use of a cholesterol antioxidant supplement.
The adverse effects of Anavar also consist of all-natural testosterone reductions. This is not one of the most suppressive anabolic steroid, far from it, yet performance dosages will generally cause a reduced testosterone condition if exogenous testosterone is not consisted of in the cycle. The type of testosterone you choose does not matter, all that issues is you supply your body with sufficient amounts of this important hormonal agent. Ladies will not require exogenous testosterone because of Anavar usage.
The last adverse effects of Anavar borders its hepatotoxicity; like all C17-aa steroids it is hepatotoxic as well as this will certainly present stress to the liver. Liver enzyme values will certainly enhance with usage, which while this does not show damage it does indicate stress that could possibly bring about damages. If your liver is healthy and also you supplement correctly liver enzyme worths will go back to normal quickly after use is stopped. Luckily, while hepatotoxic Anavar is among the mildest hepatotoxic anabolic steroids available.
Due to the fact that steroids are purely managed by regulation, many users obtain their drugs on the underground market, which is by its very nature unregulated, or from online stores. This makes searching for genuine items an issue among several customers. There are actually hundreds of websites that sell steroids, the problem is locating one that offers legit item that will bring about results. It is very important since lots of people find themselves spending a bunch of cash to buy items that produce no outcomes.
The first and also crucial part of discovering a place to acquire your steroids is to find a trustworthy source. The very best way to ensure this is to read testimonials on unbiased discussion forums. If a site has excellent reviews on 3rd party websites, it is possibly selling authentic product. Also seek sites that offer accurate and thorough info about the items they are selling.
The cost of Anvarol is $54.99 for 90 capsules, a 30-day supply. That is $30.01 less than the competitor’s price. There is likewise a special deal, now only of Buy 2 – Get 1 Free. See our unique Stacking Offers for a greater discount and take pleasure in Free Shipping to United States & UK areas.

My 99 Cabrio A/C stopped and won't start.
I recently purchased a VW Cabrio. At Smog station it was working fine. As I left the smog station I noticed right away the A/C had stopped. (Ambient temp was 108F).
Car had passed Smog. Now A/C won't work and there is a fault light when running.
I tried to add refrigerant. Can't without the compressor working.

Warren Gatland commented yesterday that TF is nearing full fitness but will need a run out with Bath.
Also wondering as no Six Nations next weekend if Zac Mercer will be released to play.
I doubt if TF would be risked to play after a long term knee injury on a plastic pitch like the one at Newcastle. Maybe the following game when we are home to Sale. But probably that would be too late for inclusion in the 6 nations.
They would probably expect us to rearrange the fixture & accept a fine then.
Mmmmmm sounds like a plan.
Pass the pork scratchings Mabel.
Luckily the single fine covered his whole contract, so they are welcome!
I would be surprised if Mercer was released given that Simmonds went off injured, leaving Mercer as the only fit number 8 in the squad and scrum session with Georgia coming up.
Didn't Robshaw cover at 8?
Hughes cams off the bench for Wasps yesterday so I imagine he will be in the mix in a fortnight. Jones has also said that he is hopeful Simmonds and Watson will be fit for Scotland. I would guess Mercer will be released for Friday, but with England sessions agains Georgia until at least Thursday I wouldn’t think Mercer will start for us in Newcastle even if he is available.
I think Hughes and Simmonds will both be chosen as they have a longer break now until the next game don't they? Will hopefully mean Mercer released to us again which would be good.
Faletau also back for a game would be good though I'd be surprised if he is really that close to fitness yet given the injury he had. Don't want to have him rushed back just to play for Wales, especially after we took a big hit for them so he could play an additional AI!!
Don't want him rushed back just to get fit for Wales, we certainly don't want to do Gatland any favours either.

Never doubt that a small group of citizens decides to change the world.
It 'always like this has happened.
I am an artist and philanthropist, I am the president of the first political movement paradistic founded in Italy, called Movement for the Paradism, which aims to speed up the process to the paradism and I am active member and Guide of the International Raelian Movement, a non-profit organization. I had the opportunity to experience life which helped me to better understand of the human being. I always thought that science should be the religion that links us all on this planet, because it could be an important key to solving problems and make easier our lives easier. In this world, there are many gifted people who would be happy to dedicate their time for the good of humanity. The human brain is a marvellous biological computer and I think that we should all use this computer to finally create together a better world for all, the paradise on Earth. I always believed in a world of peace, love and harmony, without poverty, without hunger and misery in which lasting abundance is available for every human being. Following the synthesis of marvellous ideas from many people on the real needs and the state uneasyness which predominates in humanity, the Earth People Organization was born, a project that belongs to each one of us and it is our choice to be part of it and to save this humanity. The Paradism project is the ideal way to get involved and to make this world a better place for us all. The human race deserves happiness and we are working to make it happens. I hope that wisdom will predominate as soon as possible, because humanity has suffered enough, only love can save it, and this project is only based on love.
He had and brought up his four children with his ex-spouse until their adult age. For the last fifteen years, he is in a open relationship.
A professional course which started from the age of fourteen as owner of a newspapers and of periodical magazines sale business. At 17, after three years of activity, and selling his business, he joins the National Navy during five years where he will acquire his nurse's certificate and exercise this job as much in hospitals as onboard.
At twenty-two years, after the birth of his first child, he leaves the National Navy and pursues his job in a medical intervention unit in the steel industry during 18 years. Today and for fourteen years now, he is “Adviser to firms, finance and human resources”.
During his professional course in the steel industry, he was named, in parallel, workers' representative where he defended the cause and rights of the staff during several years. During the same period he will exercise a political militant activity and will be named by its party, substitute candidate in the legislative elections of 1973. Losing by a small margin, he will continue his political commitment until October 1974.
At this stage of his life, while he went for a walk in nature in an isolated place near home, he witnessed a space phenomenon (low flying UFO close to him) which will be a major turn in his life. Some weeks after this event, he meets Rael and discovers the mission which Rael accepted from a space visitor. Understanding the importance and weight of the load carried by Rael, he interrupts all political activity and gets involved completely at his sides, in parallel of his occupation. He will participate in the development of the “International Raelian Movement” and will be responsible for establishing it in his country (France) and also in others European countries.
Very sensitive and prepared for political activity, he will associate his competences to the creation of EARTH PEOPLE ORGANIZATION (E.P.O .) founded to introduce and develop the various political aspects contained in the messages which Rael accepted in December 13th, 1973 from the hands of this space visitor. Co-founder of E.P.O , he will be a motor of the development of the political groups satellites of E.P.O. called “Movement for Paradism”. These political organizations come into the world in 2010 and spread on all continents to bring a serie of answers to the urgent and inevitable needs of humanity.
Jean Pierre Saulnier is President of Movement for Paradism in France today.
My label is Doctor of Neuroscience and Medical Practitioner but in fact I am a prostitute; like most people, I sell my mind for money, in my case to the National Health Service. However, like all human beings I am really a multifaceted person who enjoys all the arts as I do science, who enjoys self discovery and hedonistic pleasures, who yearns to fulfil my potential and would love to stop and chat, but sorry I do not have time, as I am too busy selling my mind to "earn a living" and pay my taxes to support a government and social system that I do not approve of.
I do not approve of the Ponzi Scheme that we call capitalism because it is non-sustainable in a finite world. Capitalism means that we get more money out than we put in; so in a finite pool, the majority will lose out to the minority. I do not believe that we have to step on others to raise ourselves higher, nor start a war to increase wealth, and most of all I do not believe we should have to work all our lives doing things we have not chosen to do, since today we have the technology to make robots to do all the hard work, leaving us humans the pleasurable privilege of creating, choosing and enjoying. Compared to the millions spent on smart-bombs and war techniques, it would be child's play to automate all food production, luxury production, house production, clothing and all the basic necessities in a sustainable way, so that everyone can have access to this for free. If its free, then there would be no need for money, so no need to profit from someone else's hard labour, so no need to cut corners on quality to make a fast buck, so no need for cost-cutting pesticides which poison our children, no need for inbuilt obsolescence which wastes resources, no need for poverty, no class war, no crime.
Suddenly there is a paradigm shift and finally, after thousands of years of trying to force round pegs into a square holes, society would be adapted for humans instead of humans forced to adapt to society. Only then could we truly rediscover the child in us, each day we could chose what we want to do, such as learn music, art, science, we could even plant potatoes if we really wanted to, the point is that we wont have to do anything to survive, but only if we chose to, allowing us to rediscover the true meaning of doing things, as we did when we were kids. That's to say we do it for the pure pleasure of doing it, and the pleasure of giving to others and contributing to society. It is not how much money or how much bling you can sparkle at others, it will be how much love you give to others which will be desirable qualities, and love and consciousness will become the new and natural currencies of the future.
It is urgent that we create such a world now because only a society where everyone is fulfilled materially and spiritually can survive into the next few decades. One thousand years ago, a dissatisfied person could only kill one person a day with a knife, not good news for that one person, but not threatening for humanity either. One hundred years ago, a gun could only kill one hundred people a day, but tomorrow, with internet access to multiple destructive technologies, one person could threaten the whole of humanity, so the only truly sustainable and viable society is one where everyone has all their needs fulfilled. You are only truly free when everyone is free. So for the sake of humanity, we have to change our own paradigms now.
I am an electrical engineer by trade and I work now in IT in Australia. I learnt the concept of Paradism over 30 years ago and it has guided my political life ever since. In the early 90s I have even written a book titled "Paradise is 100% unemployment". It didn't make sense to me that there was so much unemployement, so much work needed to be done and so many people wanting to work all at the same time. It became so obvious something is really going wrong. The situation today is even more acute than back then. All the indicators are there that show that we have reached the time for a paradigm shift. The current economical and political structures are decaying to the point of total collapse. The revolution has already started with the people all over the world "occupying". But they have very little directions or ideas about what is supposed to come next. They ask for more jobs which is a really stupid things to do at a time when we could free humanity from all kind of labour. Just look at any sector of the economy. The only jobs we are now creating are for the machines. What they really want is not jobs but freedom. And that what Paradism is all about. Paradism will free all the people from their slavery. A slavery imposed by a society where you either work, beg or die. Paradism will also bring freedom by abolishing the people's enslavement by all forms of powers. This is also something that I have been passionate about and that will need to be better explained as many people don't really understand how this could work. Much needs to be done to educate the people about their individual sovereignty and the Natural Law by which they can live together in harmony. Today the people of the revolution are marching but they don't know where. Not knowing they will destroy what is without anything better to replace with. It is therefore critical that we bring them the concepts of paradism, the keys to a golden age. The longer we wait, the more suffering and the more painful the transition. Here in Australia we are a small group of people and we are active on an individual level at this stage participating in the Occupy Movement. Behind the scene we are working on a video animation that we hope to release by the end of the year. It takes much more time and energy than expected. We want the quality to be good enough not only to become a viral phenomenon on line but to be used also as material for our future lectures on Paradism around the country. We look forward to co-creating with you all paradise on earth thanks to this fantastic Paradism movement that is taking place.
We are about the solution.
Two categories of widespread global problems have led to two undesirable and repugnant consequences. The problems are: 1) Plutocracy, the rule of wealth, government controlled by the wealthy for the wealthy, and 2) Overpopulation, poverty, lack of education, dogma, and fanaticism. These problems have led to two repugnant consequences: A) The military and the use of force as the main feasible means of world governance in the uncreative and rotten minds of our political leaders, and B) Political and economic collapse of countries across the globe.
Two solutions are offered to be implemented with the help of genuises and the experts in relevant social, economic and political fields. The solutions are: 1) Paradism as the most meaningful way of governance in line with human values and freedoms, and 2) Geniocracy as the most intelligent way to foresee and govern the rapidly evolving human communities for the long term utilizing the transformative powers of sciences and technology.
Progress towards paradism will be made where there are receptive minds and receptive governing bodies and communities. We will promote these ideas by all means possible and seek out interested parties for collaboration and implementation of any aspects of paradism where communities may be ready to embark on a new way of governing themselves away from the rule of wealth and power towards the spirit of sharing, collaboration and utilization of science and technology for the benefit of all.
The fundamental breakdown and transformation of the authoritarian landscape of our world has already begun. The economic collapse of countries and the global Occupy movement are just two recent instances foreshadowing what is on the horizon. In addition to the promotion of paradism and the collaborative efforts we are engaged in, and to accelerate the dissolution of this rotten system, a virtual world government is being established as well on the ideas of paradism and geniocracy.
Cyber-engagement combined with virtual resources will enable us to reach out to millions of sympathetic individuals and the young minds across the globe in a matter of hours to bring about swift mobilization and transformation of society. Some examples of how quickly taboos and societal norms can be transformed are: freehugscampaign.org, improveverywhere.com, The No Pants Subway Ride, and flashmobamerica.com.
Obviously Paradism community seeks help and support on all fronts. So contact us and let us know if you want to be involved and we will pool our energy and resources together to take greater strides towards a paradise on earth. These are exciting times when after generations of great hope and desire, huge cracks have finally appeared in the rotten systems. We are finally able to start building a brand new future where children and adults may well be truely happy for just being alive on this beautiful blue planet, and where everyone lives towards true and greater self-fulfilment, creativity and joy.
We human beings were born to laugh, to be happy, to share, to love each other, to love ourselves and to love life. Now we can build a system and a world that is deserving of our higher aspirations of kindness and love, a world that we aspire to and we deserve. A world where love, creativity and happiness are the measure of a man, not wealth or power. We are not shy, afraid or timid anymore. We now dare. We now dare to imagine as we wish, to love as we wish and to build a loving society as we wish. This is just the beginning.
Our determination, our political choice, the choice of our system to organize social and economic development, social and cultural development, which we have all made, holds us all responsible and commits us. These choices allow us to be the pioneers of Paradism in Africa and the Congo. This historic day of the General Assembly of the First Movement for Paradism in Africa is precisely taking place in the Republic of Congo. Brazzaville, the country where the administrative and political capital was the former capital of Free France and French Equatorial Africa. The conclusions that we make will allow us to unite even more to engage collectively in making Congo and Africa a paradise for all and for the good of all.
It’s time for us to stand up!
Let's make a world where all people can share profit!
Let's make a world where all people are not discriminated!
Let's make a world where all people can realize themselves!
OK, let's implement the humanitarian principle and Paradism!
Paradism is uniting the Yin and Yang with the humanitarian principle.
First of all, welcome to our Paradism website. And I'm sure that you can meet remarkable visions for our world. I'm just a normal person living normal life as office worker. It means that I'm not a man politic as well as philosophic. But the paradism showed me more meaningful way in my life. Yes, It has changed my life. The revolution will not come from the another "Bolshevist". We normal persons should have the main role in this play. It is time to get to change the world. The paradism is the only solution to solve our planet's endless and terrible problems. And it makes us feel that we still have hope and chance to save this world and our lives. Yes, this is not only for world, but also for ourselves. We are the part of world. And in fact, we are our world itself. Please remember we are ONE. It is the first step to recognize that we are in the edge to exploit our world by our greed. We are meeting the revenge of our world that we made and we are destroying. No exception. No shelter. Please listen to the appeals from this website. You can find what you can do, and what you should do, too. Dear my sisters and brothers on the planet. Please remember that this time could be our last chance, ever. Please remember that THE key is in your pocket. And please remember that you are the only one who take THE key out. Please enjoy your time at this visionary website. Let me give you my all love and respect. Thanks a lot.
I currently live in Sweden, but I see myself as a citizen of planet Earth. As long as I can remember I have dreamt of a world with peace and wealth for everyone. It makes me frustrated to see how unintelligently our world is run and what a corrupt system we have, or rather a system that creates sick, greedy and corrupt behaviours and decisions. But it also makes me happy to see that more and more people today stand up and say "enough". More and more people want change. As the world gets more and more connected I also think that more people start to see further than their own family and their own home. This is a great start, but it's not enough to criticize what is wrong, we need to construct the future we want, and we have all have to take action to make it happen.
The necessity, that is to say the love and logic of paradism, were obvious right away, and after contacting Earth People Organization, it started developing the project in Slovenia too. Because it is a young movement, I felt the desire to share all the brilliant ideas it brings. Now we are planning revolutionary projects, one of them is to bring paradism in the Slovenian parliament. As reality demonstrated also in many other countries, the governments do not bring much hope to people who intelligently choose not to vote. Paradism brings love and practical solutions to the problems of humanity and in Slovenia also there are more and more people who are realizing this: the only future for humanity is a future that is based on love and intelligence, and that wisely turns to paradism as soon as possible.
Power destroys freedom, corrupted and greedy policy leads us towards the chasm of the capitalist system, which wobbles dangerously and it is not good to live a life filled with serinity, joy and love, and that is why I am a revolutionary, I am called Zena and I am part of the Raelian Movement and I am a member of Movement for Paradism in Italy, which advocates happiness, universal love for a new revolution and development of the system. Nowadays, we are in a destructive economic crisis and so much the better, because it means the end of the actual government. Let us replace these old principles with other structures more adapted for our times. Come with us, join us to change the world and make it a true paradise, where there will be no more injustice, misery, corruption, violence, no more money and work, only pleasure, do you like that! If you really want to find the happiness within you, then do not hesitate to register and support us. Your love is the most important for saving the humanity.

those of you who don’t know… I’m a die hard fan of LoZ series ever since i played the original back on the old NES. back then you couldn’t save your progress …well you could save it, but once you restarted you were back at square one and had to travel back to where you were. so me being me just paused it and let it run well I was able to beat it but I loved playing the game some much id start over eventually I burnt up the cartridge rom.. such the fate for many of my old NES games.
I hadn’t played a LoZ game since the release of LoZ: Twilight Princess which by far one of the most fun games I ever played …you can get two version the Wii version which I would not recommend getting …why you might ask well in order to port it over to the Wii; Nintendo had to mirror the game and link is right handed in the Wii version… this is a crime against the LoZ series link has always been left handed and will always be left handed. you are better off getting the Game cube version, which is what I have, and play it.
The game follows the adventures of Link and Tetra, the leader of a band of pirates, as they discover a ghost ship in dense fog. Link falls into the ocean when Tetra gets into trouble, and he wakes up alone on the shore of a mysterious island.
When on land, the game shows a map of the area on the top screen, and a 3D top-down view of Link and his nearby surroundings on the lower screen. At some points during the game, usually during boss battles, a 3D view is shown on both screens, allowing the player to have a wider view of their surroundings, or show an enemy from a different angle. The player controls Link through the stylus, moving him around by pointing to the sides of the screens, and interacting with objects and people, or attacking foes by pointing at them; other motions with the stylus can be used for additional moves and attacks.
A multi-player battle mode is also included in Phantom Hourglass. This battle mode is a one-on-one multi-player game. In an arena, one player takes on the role of Link, while the other player, on defense, controls three Phantom Guardians. Players of both sides are aided by power-up items that shortly appear on the playing field, such as the Pegasus Shoes, power gloves, a Decoy, a Time Increase and turning on Wind Walls.

There isn't a lot in her channel as it seems she runs a fairly successful independent video game store as her day job (I guess one that may specialise in some weird stuff (and likely being under 30. Sickening)) but the few bits on there are pretty interesting.
Oh yeah man she’s awesome. Owns the Pink Gorilla game stores in Seattle, the flagship store is hands down the best game store I’ve ever been in - huge selection of retro and contemporary, and the best prices I’ve ever seen not from a private collector.
I picked up both SMT: Devil Survivor games on DS for $15 each.
If you ever go to Seattle (which you totally should) make sure Pink Gorilla is on your ‘to do’ list. And also Raygun Lounge.
I saw this video the other day and have since gone back and watched most of this guys stuff and it's genuinely brilliant.
I think that’s where Phil from Player One Podcast took his haul last year iirc.
So I've been following this YouTuber for a while and I'm just gonna share. Dunno if anyone else here likes video essays but I love them, and Lindsay Ellis is the queen of them.
Her stuff is mostly literature and Film based (but I did hear she got numerous offers from videogame sites but this was during the height of GamerGate and she was like "ha, nope!"(and looking in her back catalogue shows she's not an outsider to the scene)). But her channel is just packed with amazing insights into nerd culture.
Sometimes it can get kinda heavy but stick with it since it is idiot proof by the end. I mean I understood it.
But yeah, shout out to Lindsay Ellis. Top tier YouTubing, here.
I need to watch more of her stuff,I watched her Nostalgia Chick videos and she was clearly a talented reviewer. Course,she steers well clear of that persona now,for good reason.
This would be his newest video. His critiques are often pretty insightful and on point. Someone who has a genuine eye, not just for films, TV, video games etc but the processes that go into making them behind the scenes.
I'm fairly sure they're married.
Found this playthrough of Demon’s Souls.
If the broadcasters were about, I’d recommend the non-From games to think about, like Salt & Sanctuary, The Surge, Nioh, etc.
I’m pretty sure they’re gonna be covering the non-From games once the From games are finished/as they release.
If they played through Salt and Sanctuary or Lords of the Fallen or Death’s Gambit etc that night give me an excuse to play them too.
If anyone has seen Troy Baker and Nolan North do their stuff together, you know they're a good team.
Now, Nolan North is playing through the Uncharted games for the first time. This should be a cracker of a series.
May give this a watch.
Some good comments on that episode, my favourite being, "Troy: Gamer. Nolan: Man who knows that games exist."
They're giving some interesting background on how it was made, for example Amy Hennig more or less writing scenes on the fly, reacting to how the actors would portray the roles.

If you're serious about playing marbles, than you probably knew there are actually marbles tournaments around the world. If you want to know how to play marbles, the tournament way, then this video will help you understand the basic rules and regulations. This is for serious marble players.
1. Two players compete each other. Both players have to use different color of marbles.
2. The game begins by throwing one marble and aiming it into the hole. The player, whose marble is closer to the hole, decide who will start the odd games and who the even games.
3. First player starts by throwing all his marbles (one by one) in direction of the hole. Then throws the marbles the second player.
4. When finished with throwing all marbles, players continue the game by shooting marbles in direction of the hole. Player with more marbles in the hole (or player who has his best marble closer to the hole) takes first turn to shoot. Players shoot only their own marbles. Players are alternating in the game after each shot.
5. The player who puts all his marbles in the hole first becomes the winner of the game. The winner of the match is the player who has won given number of games.
6. The marbles should be made from any non-metal material and should be no greater than 16,5 mm in diameter. The throwing line is 7.5 m long from the center of the hole. The hole has to be 9 - 11 cm in diameter.

In Plymouth, England, a curious pair of cast-iron spectacles scans the tidal reach of the River Tamar. It is a railroad bridge, unlike any other in form. Its huge elliptical trusses draw crowds of sightseers; its towering stone portals reveal their creator in huge emblazoned letters. They read: I.K. BRUNEL ENGINEER. To the east, in Bristol, chains draped across monumental mock Egyptian gates guide a soaring roadway over a scenic gorge. The Clifton suspension bridge. I.K. Brunel engineer. In London, at Burrell’s Wharf, the spot can still be seen where in 1859 the Great Eastern, a 700-foot leviathan of a ship, larger and more powerful than any predecessor, churned the murky Thames as it was pushed afloat by an army of hydraulic rams. I.K. Brunel engineer.
Such spectacular achievements are the reason why Isambard Kingdom Brunel- born 111 years ago on Sunday- still captures the public imagination. His most famous schemes flaunted their daring, ambition, and inventiveness, and announced to the world the engineering prowess of the United Kingdom- a message so cherished that Brunel has in the past been voted the second-greatest Briton in history, behind only Churchill. Sometimes Brunel reached too far- the Great Eastern was uneconomical and quickly scrapped and the atmospheric railway, a vacuum-powered train, proved to not function in the slightest- but these failures’ public image as the noble experiments of a genius virtually turn them into successes.
There are enough of such Brunellian landmarks and proposals to fill a book, and, indeed, many books have been filled on such subjects. There is, however, another type of Brunel work- just as inventive, but without the flashiness, focal point, or even permanence. Some of his most revolutionary and influential projects are largely unnoticed- hidden, mundane, or dismantled. Among these is his very first project, done in collaboration with his father Marc- the Thames tunnel. A tunnel had never before been built to cross beneath a navigable river, and such an endeavour was fraught with risks of collapse and flooding. The Brunels designed a tunnelling shield to protect the foremost work area. Construction was lengthy but eventually successful, and inspired the construction methods of many future tunnels; however, the Thames Tunnel itself is now little-known, being a single strand of a crowded web of passages beneath London.
Brunel’s work on the Great Western Railway is well chronicled, for it was a poster child for future large-scale rail systems, and thus given extravagant stations, bridges, and tunnels (including the Box Tunnel in Bath, recently discovered to have been designed by Brunel so that the sun shone through it on his birthday). However, his later Cornwall railway was a more frugal affair. The engineer was tasked with tracing a path over fifty miles of rugged terrain on a shoestring budget, not nearly enough to build the masonry viaducts that contemporary thinking suggested. Rather than let the project fold- as many comparable overambitious efforts did- Brunel made the sacrifice of impermanence, assembling cheap wooden bridges which were gradually replaced by stone as the railway grew profitable. Again, Brunel’s work- now gone- was hugely influential, in this case setting precedent for more economical railroad construction.
Another outwardly restrained design that sent reverberations through the world of civil engineering can be found in Maidenhead. The two low red arches appear unremarkable at first glance- perhaps this conservative appearance was intended by Brunel to calm critics who were nervous about the daring structural concept. The arches’ span-to-height ratio of nearly six to one was, like so much Brunel did, unprecedented. Brunel’s employers, fearing collapse, insisted the wooden formwork beneath the arches remain in place for support, and were subsequently shocked when, with floods having washed the scaffolds away, the masonry remained intact. The layered stonework of the arches themselves and their airy internal skeleton were the secret strengths of this disguised masterpiece.
An accomplished shipwright as well as civil engineer, Brunel ingeniously combined the disciplines in one of his most pioneering accomplishments. In 1854, with the Crimean War raging, Florence Nightingale enraptured the British media with her medical exploits and shocked them with accounts of horrifyingly unsanitary hospitals. Never one to shy from a dilemma, Brunel set about finding a solution to this problem; in a mere six days he drafted plans for prefabricated wooden wards with modern amenities, which were to be built at a Gloucester shipyard. The buildings were shipped to the Turkish city of Renkioi then swiftly assembled and prepared for the arrival of patients; the drop in mortality rates was staggering, and the complex was so admired that it was converted for civilian purposes after the war. The first large-scale prefabrication project of its kind, the Renkioi hospital’s legacy can be found globally.
The Renkioi Hospital and Cornwall Viaducts are gone, the Thames Tunnel and Maidenhead Bridge easily overlooked; nevertheless, their presence has been felt in civil engineering ever since. Despite his occasional failures, his tendency to overreach, his ideas often being far beyond contemporary technology, Brunel’s successes were immense in their impact and broad in their scope. He is one of the greatest Britons in history, one of the most iconic engineers; is it a stretch to label him the greatest civil engineer of all?

There are no hidden fees, just a fixed 3% interest rate to supplement your income.
Reap is significantly different to current insurance or pension linked annuities, it is a financing arrangement which is secured against property and your legal interest is registered at HM Land Registry. There are no fees, annual charges or legal costs and your income is fixed for first five years at 3% p.a. beyond which you can access your original capital on 90 days notice.
You can open your Reap account with as little as £15,000 and, unlike typical annuities, 100% of your original lump sum is returned to you. Reap is available to anybody aged 18 or above who is a UK resident and has a UK current bank account.
Reap is open to people of all ages, but is particularly ideal for retirees who are looking for sustainable ways to use their pension savings to get the best out of their retirement. You receive a high return on your money and have the option, after the initial period, to access your funds with 90 days notice while also being able to place your annuity into trust for the benefit of your loved ones.
Reap is not suited to property speculators, nor is such investment encouraged. It’s a loan to a social enterprise which provides homes to those in housing need. Reap offers lenders an excellent source of fixed income, but they do not benefit from any increase in property values.
Reap’s a simple and secure strategy to combine your financial resources to get the maximum income for your retirement years.

Hundreds of students will flood Wilder Hall Saturday night dressed in gender non-conforming clothing and ready to have the time of their lives. Drag Ball is one of the highlights of the school year for many students. It is a time when both LGBTQ and non-queer students can come together, celebrate queer culture, and enjoy an abundance of glitter. When Drag Ball goes well, it gives LGBTQ students — especially transgender and gender-nonconforming students — a chance to celebrate their identities without fear of judgement. The evening should also serve as a way for non-queer students to respectfully explore gender nonconformity and express appreciation for their queer friends. The workshops individuals are required to attend to gain entry to Drag Ball can also serve to educate non-queer students about LGBTQ issues and teach LGBTQ students about queer identities different from their own. However, Drag Ball does not currently function this way, and instead can create discomfort for some transgender students and reinforce non-queer privilege.
Many transgender students feel uncomfortable about the choice between being a drag king or a drag queen. Drag performance is often centered around performing as the opposite gender. For transgender students, this can mean either having to pick between two genders with which they don’t identify or dressing as a gender they feel uncomfortable presenting. Rather than allowing queer students to embrace their identities, Drag Ball can invoke feelings of discomfort and dysphoria.
To buy a ticket to attend Drag Ball, students must go to at least one event designated as a Drag Ball Workshop. Although the workshops are supposed to make Drag Ball a safer space for LGBTQ students by teaching valuable lessons about privilege and oppression, many of them do not actually educate students about queer issues. For example, students could attend Colors of Rhythm in order to purchase a ticket for Drag Ball. Colors of Rhythm is an amazing event that emphasizes the accomplishments of POC students, and can definitely serve as a way to initiate dialogue about racism and intersectionality of marginalized identities at Oberlin. However, although some of the performances did feature queer students, none of the performances intended to celebrate queerness in a primary way. Attending Colors of Rhythm does nothing to prepare non-queer students to be respectful at Drag Ball. Yes, Colors of Rhythm does address issues pertaining to marginalized groups. But educating people about one type of oppression does very little to teach them about other kinds of oppression. Counting Colors of Rhythm as a Drag Ball event unintentionally equates racism with queerphobia, which undermines the real harm caused by each.
Because many people who attend Drag Ball do not learn about queer culture from the required events, some students end up appropriating drag culture. For example, one non-queer student posted a survey in the Facebook group Oberlin 2020 asking for a makeup artist to do his makeup for Drag Ball without a clear indication that he would compensate them for their labor. Asking a member of a marginalized group to which you don’t belong to help you engage in their cultural practice — without compensating them for their time and labor — is a clear example of cultural appropriation. Rather than celebrating drag culture, this practice takes advantage of queer people’s skills and knowledge without giving them the credit and compensation they deserve.
Appropriation of queer culture is far more likely when folks attend workshops that do not actually educate them on queer issues and drag etiquette. Problematic behavior that emerges before Drag Ball even begins sets the stage for LGBTQ students to feel unsafe, and undermines a climate meant to celebrate queer students and culture.
It is not a bad thing that non-queer students are encouraged to attend Drag Ball. In fact, Drag Ball can be a way for those students to engage with gender and expose them to what queer students bring to Oberlin. However, non-queer students need to be extra vigilant about checking their privilege at Drag Ball. If students were required to attend multiple workshops before buying a Drag Ball ticket — and if at least one of those workshops directly pertained to transgender issues, gender non-conformity, or drag culture — then non-queer students would be better prepared to respect queer folks at Drag Ball.
Furthermore, Drag Ball Committee could publicize some of the non-drag aspects of the event, such as the music and dancing, so that transgender students would feel less pressure to choose between being a drag queen or a drag king.
Ever since the late 1800s in the U.S., drag has served as a way for queer folks to express themselves and provided a space for LGBTQ folks to have fun without fear of persecution. If LGBTQ students feel uncomfortable at Drag Ball, then the event isn’t serving its purpose. It ends up benefiting non-queer students more than the queer community and reinforces the idea that non-queer people can appropriate queer culture without respecting LGBTQ folks.
Drag Ball should be a place where all students can feel safe and have a great time, no matter what they wear. But non-queer students need to remember that Drag Ball is a time for LGBTQ students to feel like royalty.
This doesn’t come from all of drag ball committee, it is a personal comment. Why would you publish this a day before the event without talking to anyone from drag ball committee to hear our side or what we’ve been doing to combat exactly this issue? It seems like you’re just going to make people feel bad before they even get a chance to attend.

We held our second community consultation and co-design workshop at Manchester School of Art on Wednesday the 14th of October. Many thanks to Steve Hawsley for helping us to organise this and thanks to all the people who attended and gave so generously of their time and insights.
We were able to go into matters quite deeply and got some incredibly useful suggestions and insights about the possible configurations of the toolkit and how a service might work.
I will be writing up the feedback shortly, but just want to say this format of consultation is far exceeding our initial expectations, so much so that if we progess to phase 3 I think we shall repeat it. It obvious of course when you think about it – direct contact with potential software and service users – it just saves so much time and wasted effort.

Q: Just what is EDE?
A: EDE stands for Enhanced Direct Enrollment. Today, when consumers shop for health insurance on a third-party site in one of the 27 federally facilitated marketplace states, they go through two separate redirects (known as the “double redirect”). Here’s what that means. Let’s use our consumer website, GetInsured.com, as an example. A consumer selects a plan and begins enrollment on GetInsured.com, but at the end of the enrollment process, up until now, they were brought to healthcare.gov to confirm their eligibility for individual marketplace coverage, premium tax credits, and cost-sharing reduction payments. This is the first “redirect”. After eligibility is confirmed, they were then sent back to GetInsured.com (the second redirect) to complete enrollment.
The difference in look and feel between the two sites is often times confusing to consumers, the process is cumbersome, and the experience can be very time-consuming. According to industry observers, drop-off rates during the double redirect may be as high as 95 percent.
EDE is a new CMS standard that allows the consumer to stay on one site from start to finish, eliminating the need to enter information twice, and streamlining the process.
Q: Why is this good for consumers?
A: It’s in our nature to procrastinate, find a convenient excuse, and avoid shopping for health insurance, particularly if we are healthy. EDE enables a seamless shopping and enrollment experience for consumers, making the health insurance enrollment process much simpler and less time-consuming. The excuse that the enrollment process is cumbersome just went away.
Q: Why is it good for brokers and carriers?
A: With drop-off rates estimated to be so incredibly high due to the dreaded double redirect, the upside for brokers and carriers is significant. All of those unfinished enrollments translate into lower enrollments for brokers as well as carriers; by creating an easier enrollment experience, we would expect brokers and carriers to see increased sign-ups. For insurers, in particular, deploying an easier enrollment experience means an opportunity to attract younger and healthier members who don’t need coverage badly enough to deal with the frustration of the double redirect. And for brokers, this, of course, represents an increase in commission income.
Q: Is there anything different about your technology versus other tech companies offering EDE services?
A: Our EDE technology is a natural extension of our extensive work with brokers and is based on our experience working with both CMS and carriers. The solution has both an elegant and modern UI and is enterprise-grade, tested to perform in high volume enrollment environments.
Q: How easy is EDE to implement?
A: Brokers, insurers, and even states who opted for using the healthcare.gov platform can choose to develop their own EDE technology. That is, of course, a long and arduous process. Instead, we offer a white-labeled solution that is easy to implement, CMS compliant, and will be ready for OE 2019. We estimate that you can drop our EDE solution into your website with an average development time of approximately two weeks. We handle the heavy lifting and ensure your solution is solid and secure.
Q: When should carriers and brokers acquire the GetInsured EDE services in order to be ready for the 2019 open enrollment period?
A: Working backward from OE 2019, we need to have agreements in place before Summer 2018 in order to be ready to go-live in time.

Fantastic Product Did not think I would use this Ice Cream maker very much and would just pack it away after a day or two. Boy was I wrong!! Directions are really easy. And cleanup is a snap. After freezing the bowl overnight, I made ice cream the next day. Absolutely the BEST ice cream I have ever had. I have used it almost everyday. My neighbors love me!!! I have not used the sorbet paddles but if it is half as good as the ice cream, it will be wonderful.
