TOPIC: Any prepcast available for the PMI-PBA exam?
I really didn't find any place where I could post this question so that's why I posted it here. I'm interested in writing the PMI - PBA (business analysis) certification examination and I'm wondering if you have any prepcast or products available for this course because I'm interested in purchasing it.

just starting to look at dates for visiting south beach this april !!
Was wondering if easter weekend is more of a family weekend or is it full on party mode !!
there will be for of us guys going down there looking to party and have some fun !! Night clubs, pool parties. Etc !!
where would be a good location , around what streets , Wa looking at a few places near ocean blvd and 10 st , right by the cleavender hotel , good location or not ??
or where else would you recommend to stay near ??
Re: Easter Weekend ??? !!
Hmm....Well Easter doesn't affect the parties much one way or another. That's still high season here, it'll still be fun. Families don't come to South Beach, really, so I wouldn't worry about it being quiet or having a lack of fun.
As for where to stay, that area around 10th street is a little dicey right now. They're getting a couple of cool new things - the Centro Storico complex and the new Employees Only bar -- but not sure those will transform the neighborhood by April, though. Maybe look south of 5th, or a little further inland. The island is pretty walkable and even if not Uber is abundant and cheap. Also look up around 20th-24th street, all the new stuff is being built up there.
10 th street dicey ?? From what i have read seems the cleavlander is a place that is always hopping and the surfcomber so thought we would stay close to there ? Am i wrong are those very old posts ??
Is there a section of beach in the sobe area that is busier with people longing around then others. Or are the people spread out more along the beach ?
i will look at some places where you suggested , thanks for your help !!
Unless your staying at Loews, MB is pretty much a family free zone all year round.
As far as dicey, I avoid that by going to SoFi, which is 5th street or lower. Aside that it's dicey until you get more N on the beach. That's my opinion. Others might contest that, but it's all about what vibe you're looking for.
I do like the Clevander ... but it's not anything to write home about. It's OK.
The Clevelander is great, but that area, especially up around Washington, is an abandoned ghost town now. It's weird. There's a bevvy of reasons why and they're trying to improve it this year with some cool new stuff coming in. But as of right now it's not the best. It's happened pretty fast over the past couple of years.
Well that explains why accommodation , is that much cheaper around there compared to below 5th and up near 20th !!
thanks guys any other info would be appreciated !!

You may not think that Kickstarter can be beneficial to a start-up business’ social media presence, but as it grows in popularity, Kickstarter can be a valuable tool in increasing awareness about your start-up and driving people to your social media pages. Kickstarter is an online-based crowd-funding platform that allows start-up businesses to post their unfunded business ideas online and anyone who visits the page can donate. In a sense, for a start-up or seed business that doesn’t yet have a social media presence, Kickstarter can act as one and help you gain the exposure you need.
Projects are searchable by keywords, so anyone interested in contributing to a project involving rap music, sewing, cooking, or some other topic can simply type in these terms and see what’s available. You’ll get an idea of how many people are searching for what you have to offer.
People can easily share your Kickstarter page with friends, families and colleagues. There is power in numbers and when you have a compelling and creative Kickstarter page, you increase the chances of people sending it around to others. Word of mouth is still the best form of advertising, after all!
Even if your project does not reach its fundraising goal, you still get the exposure that Kickstarter affords. You may not get fully funded, but perhaps there is a core group of people who have a vested interest in the product or service you are offering.
Before deciding to join Kickstarter, make it a point to read about the successes and failures of start-up businesses that have used Kickstarter in order to gain as much insight as possible. Extremely popular Kickstarter projects have been posted on social media sites and received the funding they needed, but it takes time, effort and know-how in order to achieve success!
Contact WSI to find out more about using Kickstarter for your social media benefit.

CoreLogic reported on Tuesday that home prices nationwide, including distressed sales, increased 11.8 percent in November 2013 compared to the same month a year earlier (the recent Case-Shiller indices reported similarly sized increases, but for the three months ending in October). The change represents the 21st consecutive monthly year-over-year increase in home prices nationally, according to the company. Excluding distressed sales, home prices increased by 10.4 percent year over year in November 2013.
On a month-over-month basis, however, the pace home price increases seems to indicate that the upsurge is slowing down. Including distressed sales, prices were up by only 0.1 percent in November compared to October, notes CoreLogic. Excluding distressed sales, home prices were up 0.3 percent month-over-month in November.
Not only that, the CoreLogic Pending Home Price Index indicates that December 2013 home prices, including distressed sales, are expected to drop 0.1 percent from November to December. Compared with the previous year, the increase in December 2013 will be 11.5 percent.
In the most recent Short-Term Energy Outlook by the Energy Information Administration, which is the first of its monthly reports to include predictions for 2015, the agency said that next year domestic crude oil will reach the highest level in more than four decades. The EIA estimates U.S. total crude oil production averaged 7.5 million barrels a day (bbl/d) in 2013, an increase of 1 million bbl/d from the previous year, and further predicts that production will increase to 8.5 million bbl/d in 2014 and 9.3 million bbl/d in 2015, a level not seen since 1972.
Increasing oil production (foreign as well as domestic) is also expected to help drive the price of gas down in the United States, according to the EIA. After falling to the lowest monthly average of 2013 in November, U.S. regular gasoline retail prices increased slightly to reach an average of $3.28 per gallon during December. The average gas price, which was $3.51 a gallon in 2013, is expected to fall to $3.46 a gallon in 2014 and $3.39 a gallon in 2015.
The rise in domestic production will also affect the trade deficit. The U.S. Department of Commerce reported on Tuesday that goods and services deficit in November was $34.3 billion, down from $39.3 billion in October, and part of the drop was a reduction in the value of petroleum imports. The trade deficit in petroleum has been as much as $30 billion a month in recent years, but has been dropping lately to around $15 billion a month.
Wall Street enjoyed its first up day of the new year on Tuesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 105.84 points, or 0.64 percent. The S&P 500 was up 0.61 percent and the Nasdaq advanced 0.96 percent.

Reed’s four-year graduation rate has jumped to an all-time high of 70%.
Out of 337 freshlings who arrived on campus in the fall of 2007, fully 236 marched with the Class of ’11, the highest four-year rate in the college’s history. “This is wonderful news,” says Mike Brody, dean of student services.
Reed has historically suffered from low graduation rates compared to other private colleges. Rigorous academic standards and a notoriously independent student body are two key factors. Combine those with a traditionally hands-off approach to student life, not to mention Portland’s copious rainfall, and the result was massive attrition. Reed’s four-year graduation rate stood well below 30% in the ’70s and early ’80s (see graph).
The improvement reflects several factors, according to Brody and other college administrators. First, Reed has become more selective. In 2000, the college accepted 68% of all applications; today the proportion is 40%.
The college now offers robust tutoring through the DoJo to help students with the challenging academic program, as well as comprehensive support for students with documented disabilities. The DoJo offers workshops on preventing procrastination, time management, note taking, and other essential skills. Reed also provides a network of support for students from underrepresented backgrounds.
Reed has worked hard to encourage a culture of balance, rather than a culture of stress, with a stronger P.E. program, a new counseling center, and a sustained emphasis on wellness.
“Students who could have burned out in the past are now finding healthy ways to take better care of themselves,” Brody says.
Over finals, for example, the college held special yoga sessions in the dance studio, threw a tea party in the Capehart room, offered free acupuncture in the library, and hosted a midnight breakfast in commons.

Sultan Iskandar Muda International Airport has a small number of shops and restaurants, although there is nothing of special note.
There are some fast food stands and restaurants lining the outer area of the terminal outside the secure area. Many of these places are there mostly to cater to the taxi drivers, touts and other people who spend a lot of time at the airport. On the lower arrival level you will find a money changer as well as a small room with several ATMs where you can get local currency.
Inside the terminal, above the check-in counters are several small shops and food stalls. There's a coffee shop that's not bad, and a full service restaurant.
Note that there are no shops within the international departure lounge. So, there is no duty free shopping at Banda Aceh airport.

REGIONAL DISHES – a culinary adventure !
Home/REGIONAL DISHES – a culinary adventure !
The Japanese archipelago stretches from north to south, giving a variety of climate. Different regions have their own traditions of agriculture, produce and recipes. So in addition to the traditional Japanese dishes found throughout the country, many regions and cities in Japan have their own specialities. Be sure to try the local dishes – it makes a trip round Japan into a culinary adventure!
Ramen shops are common all over Sapporo and other towns in Hokkaido, selling the noodles in miso, soy, or salt-flavoured soups. Indeed Sapporo has its famous Ramen Yokocho or “Ramen Alley”, a narrow passageway with wall-to-wall ramen shops decorated with the signatures of celebrity customers.
Miso Ramen – A combination of miso, garlic and noodles, from Sapporo. Also served with slices of barbecue pork.
Soy Sauce Ramen – from Asahikawa, with broth made from soy sauce and fish stock.
Salt Ramen – from Hakodate, Japan’s premier ramen town. With a lightly salted broth.
Originally a children’s treat, monjayaki is now established as a speciality of the Tsukishima area of Tokyo (near Ginza).
It’s a “cook it yourself” dish: ingredients such as dried squid, sweetcorn and cabbage are cooked on the hotplate. Then a runny batter is poured into a hollow in the middle. It is all scraped around with a small spatula, and eaten off the spatula as it is cooked. Tasty and fun.
Yudofu is a warming dish – one of the main winter hotpot dishes in Japan, particularly in Kyoto where the winters are very cold. Tofu is put in a kelp-based soup, taken out before it softens and dissolves too much and dipped in sauce. Unable to eat meat or fish for religious reasons, Buddhist priests in Kyoto ate this as a precious source of protein; nowadays many long-established restaurants offer delicious boiled tofu in Kyoto.
These are octopus dumplings, made by pouring a flour and stock batter onto a special iron plate with holes in it, adding chunks of octopus together with chopped onions, cabbage and pickled ginger, and baking them into balls by rolling them over as they cook. The baked batter is crispy and spicy on the outside and soft inside, giving the dumplings a unique, crunchy texture and taste. Served with toppings such as green seaweed, sauce or sliced and dried bonito, or even mayonnaise. As the octopus dumplings of Kansai are small and easy to eat, they have become a popular dish throughout Japan.
In Hiroshima, okonomiyaki (savoury pancakes) were popular even before the 2nd World War. But during the food shortages after the war, people developed these pancakes into a meal, adding additional ingredients such as cabbage, egg, seafood and noodles, which is how the present style was established. The Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki has a six-layered structure, with flour batter, cabbage, then the main ingredients plus noodles and more flour batter, then turned over and flattened. Nutritious, filling and varied with a range of flavoured sauces according to your taste.
Kagawa on the island of Shikoku is famous as the origin of Sanuki-udon, and has many udon (wheat-flour noodle) makers and restaurants. Sanuki wheat-flour noodles are noted for their strong body and smooth texture. A kelp-based soup seasoned with light soy sauce is poured over the noodles: leeks, ginger, egg or sesame seeds can be added. There are many varieties of toppings, including seafood or vegetable tempura. Kagawa has many self-service udon restaurants, with very reasonable prices (around Yen 100 to 200 per bowl, without toppings).
This dish of plain boiled chicken originated in Hakata (Fukuoka) back in the Meiji Era, inspired by Western consommé and Chinese chicken dishes. Pieces of chicken and vegetables are dropped into a chicken stock soup and then picked out and dipped in ponzu(citrus vinegar sauce) and condiments such as chopped leek. After the chicken and vegetables have been taken out, rice can be put in the remaining stock, to make a sort of savoury porridge with a tasty chicken flavour.
After sake, the second most popular alcoholic drink in Japan is shochu. Honkaku shochu, (authentic shochu) has a “rustic” flavour from ingredients such as wheat, sweet potatoes, buckwheat or black sugar. Imo-shochu from Kagoshima and Miyazaki on the island of Kyushu is mostly produced from sweet potatoes. Potato shochu from Kagoshima is called satsuma shochu, with a unique flavour and sweetness and is a popular drink with either ice or hot water.
Champuru is an Okinawan word meaning roughly “mix.” Champuru dishes are a mixture of various ingredients fried together, and usually named after the main ingredient. The most common types of champuru in Okinawa are goya (bittermelon) champuru, with a bitter taste but said to be healthy, particularly in the hot summer; tofu champuru, and somen champuru, which is fried thin somen noodles mixed with tuna, egg, chopped pork and other things. The basic champuru concept is easily variable, and many locals have their own favourite recipe.
Distilled from rice and with a high alcohol content, awamori is unique to Okinawa. Strength can be up to 60% alcohol. The most popular way to drink it is with water and ice, or mixed with the island’s delicious tropical juices.

Who reads the Summaries and why?
What topics do the Summaries cover?
Where can I see a list of all of your available book summaries?
What formats are the Summaries available in?

Soundview Executive Book Summaries are 5,000-word, in-depth text and audio distillations of business books. Our Summaries cover the book's main points and actionable ideas, and highlight and give you a working knowledge of its contents.
A Summary isn't merely a digest or excerpts strung together. It's a seamless document that reads (and holds your interest) like a magazine article. And you retain more of the content when you read a Summary than when you read a book. A major university study proved that a few years back.
What is the difference between an Executive Book Summary and a Speed Review?
Our book summaries are an in-depth extraction of the best ideas from the full-length book - in the author's original words. Our speed reviews are shorter, subjective takes on the content that is contained in the book. So, the summaries feature the best content taken directly from the book, while the reviews simply offer an analysis of what is in the full-length book. Plus, our summaries are available in audio format, while our reviews are not.
Soundview screens and evaluates business books for executives worldwide. These people range from CEOs to managers just starting out, and everyone in between. Subscribers include managers, sales and marketing people, entrepreneurs, consultants, academics and students, people in manufacturing and finance, human resources -- you name it.
As diverse as this group is, our subscribers have a few things in common. They are ambitious, for example, and they recognize that to succeed they must keep abreast of current business trends and ideas. They also know that, in the business world, education must be an ongoing process - the idea of continuous learning is important to them. To stop learning is to fall behind. Whatever their motivation, Soundview readers find themselves more effective on the job and more successful in their careers.
If it's of interest to business people, we cover it. These include the usual suspects like management and leadership, but also such areas as human resources, marketing, economics, sales, entrepreneurship, negotiation, innovation, technology, talent, diversity, etc. In addition, we sometimes cover books on specific topics that affect nearly all business people, like health care, the environment, politics, and so on. A comprehensive list of subjects and competencies can be found here.
Our full list of book summaries can be found on our Back Issue page. You can sort by Year, by Subject, and by Competency, or do a search for a specific title or author. Or, check out our Best Seller List.
Our summaries are available in a number of different digital formats. This makes it easy to read them on-screen, print them out for future reading, or save them to a mobile device. Plus, almost all of our summaries are available in audio format so you can listen to them as well. For more information about the specific digital formats available to you, click here.
How does Soundview choose which books to summarize?
Have immediate value for readers.
Those that meet our criteria become Executive Book Summaries (once we receive permission from the publisher). Other noteworthy titles that don't quite meet our standards become quick-read Speed Reviews.
Our readers often surprise us when they tell us how they use our Summaries. For example, they give them as gifts to friends, colleagues and co-workers, they use them to help subordinates improve their skills, and they use them to make points authoritatively at meetings. Perhaps most importantly, subscribers use Soundview as a book-screening service - that is, they read the summary to see if they want to buy the full-length book.
No. First of all, with the exception of books by Seth Godin, Dan Pink, John Maxwell, and a few others, there aren't many business bestsellers. We only summarize books that contain fresh ideas and have immediate value for readers.
They love it. For one thing, there are 48,000 titles published in the U.S. each year. Unless you're a popular writer of fiction, it can be nearly impossible to get publicity for your book. Soundview provides unbeatable exposure for a book and its author - and to a list of people perfectly matched to the book's message. An Executive Book Summary can therefore have a strong impact on book sales. Also, imagine how an author feels knowing his or her book has been chosen out of more than a thousand for special attention. It's an honor.
Yes, and that's one of the points of the service. Most Soundview subscribers want to read the books that concern them directly. In effect, Soundview acts as a screening service, pointing you in the direction of worthy books. We give you a taste of the book - and many ideas and techniques you can put to use immediately - so you can decide if you want the whole thing.
For over 40 years - longer than anyone. We have the experience to spot new ideas in books and to know what topics are of interest to business readers. Plus, our expert writers are award-winning journalists that know how to distill the top ideas of a book down to easy-to-digest summaries.
Order today and your subscription will include 3 new Summaries of the best business books each month.
An invitation to each of our subscriber-only Soundview Live™ Webinars with today's top business book authors.
A monthly supplement called Speed Reviews containing quick reviews of additional business books of note.
If you choose one of our Professional or Premier Editions, you'll also have access to our full archive of thousands of book summaries, webinars, reviews, newsletters, and video tutorials.
Sure, you can. Get a Free Sample Summary by clicking here.
All content that is delivered to a subscriber’s Online Library as part of their subscription will be archived and accessible to that subscriber as long as he/she maintains an active subscription to our publication. After a subscription expires, the subscriber can restore the content in their library by simply subscribing to our publication once again.

Should Ventura County have a single fire department?
With more attention on fire in our daily lives, particularly with climate change, it is time to examine the need to restructure our fire service.
Fire — it’s been the focus of our attention for the past couple of years. The Thomas Fire, wildfires all over the West, Santa Paula’s turnover of fire service to the county, Ventura’s budget negotiations with its fire department — fire is an ever-present story. I’d like to take the opportunity to add a little more fuel to this fire discussion.
Several years ago, Sacramento Bee columnist Dan Walters wrote an opinion piece discussing how, with the increases in wildfires in California and mutual aid arrangements, more and more city fire departments were siphoning off their own resources to aid those firefights.
Meanwhile, at a couple of state Local Agency Formation Commission conferences a few years ago, there were panels discussing how several counties around the state were consolidating their fire departments into a single agency. Maybe it’s time to begin that discussion here.
With Santa Paula joining the Ventura County Fire Department, the recent budget scrutiny over the city of Ventura’s expenditure for fire department requests, and the continued need for the city of Oxnard to stabilize its budget, is it time to finally look at one countywide fire service?
I raise this issue for several reasons. One, with the increase in wildfires, it seems there is a constant hit on city resources to help the county and state departments fight these fires.
Two, particularly in the case of Ventura, much more of its fire department’s time is spent responding to medical emergencies than actually fighting fires.
And three, during budget negotiations, firefighter unions have a way of playing cities off each other to boost their pay and benefits by threatening to jump to a neighbor city. City of Santa Paula firefighters would threaten to go to Ventura because the pay and benefits were better. Ventura firefighters would threaten to leave for Oxnard because the pay and benefits were better. And so on.
The arguments for a single, consolidated fire service in Ventura County — an expanded county fire department, if you will — is that it would eliminate this game of budgetary Chinese checkers, allow one complete organization to move its pieces around the game board however it saw fit as opposed to mutual aid responses, and possibly free up or expand medical emergency response teams within the cities for that singular purpose.
I realize Ventura and Oxnard have longstanding, proud traditions with their city fire departments and recognize their contributions over the years. But times have changed, and perhaps it is time to examine a new model for fire service. For better, seamless customer service and good government, the discussion is at least worth having.
If Oxnard and Ventura were absorbed into a countywide fire district, it could reduce the tugs on city budgets and provide greater flexibility in moving firefighting resources around to areas of greatest need.
Today, because of mutual aid, dispatching and the “closest to” policy for responses, the city of Ventura is, de facto, already in the county system. Additionally, there are economies of scale. The city uses the county’s training facilities and special equipment all the time. A consolidated force would simply remove one step in between.
Creating such an expanded department would not be easy, but it is doable. There are already examples around the state.
One big concern would be the financial structure. Would a joint powers agreement and governing commission representing all 10 cities and the county, so rates and expenditures could be set in a manner fair to all, be better than a simple expansion of the existing county fire district, where the county sets the rates for participating cities? Ask Thousand Oaks about that arrangement.
Is this a radical change? Yes. Is it a major departure from tradition and the way we’ve done it in the past? Yes. Is it doable? I believe so.
With the increased attention on fire in our daily lives, particularly in the light of climate change, it is time to fully examine the need to restructure fire service in Ventura County.

text: Thyroid hormone replacement therapy in patients following thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer, although a potentially straightforward clinical problem, can present the clinician and patient with a variety of challenges. Most often the problems are related to the dose and preparation of thyroid hormone (TH) to use. Some patients feel less well following thyroidectomy and/or radioiodine ablation than they did before their diagnosis. We present evidence that levothyroxine (L-T4) is the preparation of choice, and keeping the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) between detectable and 0.1 mU/L should be the standard of care in most cases. In unusual circumstances, when the patient remains clinically hypothyroid despite a suppressed TSH, we acknowledge there may be as yet unidentified factors influencing the body’s response to TH, and individualized therapy may be necessary in such patients.

Can I Sue My Doctor for Overprescribing Opioids?
When you suffer a painful injury or illness it’s very likely your doctor will prescribe opioids, a category of pain medicines. Unfortunately, opioids can be extremely addictive and can sometimes cause more harm than good. If your doctor overprescribed pain meds, resulting in a serious injury or the death of a loved one, you may have a medical malpractice claim.
Medical professionals understand how addictive pain killers can be, and should exercise caution when doling out prescriptions. When a doctor is negligent in their duty, they could be held liable for any resulting injuries.
However, before you can prove the doctor should be held liable, you must first prove duty, breach, causation, and damages. This means the doctor must have an established relationship with the patient that required him or her to exhibit care for the patient. A breach must have occurred, meaning the doctor exhibited behavior another competent doctor would not have done, such as overprescribing a medicine. There also must be proof that the doctor’s mistake directly harmed the patient.
These types of cases can be difficult to prove because prescribing medication is never an exact science, and varies depending on each patient and their injury. However, there are certain ways in which a doctor should exhibit care for his or her patient, and failing to do so could be considered negligence. For example, if the doctor prescribes an addictive medicine to a patient who had a drug addiction a year ago, that decision is clearly not a good one.
Alternatively, a doctor may prescribe pain meds for an extended period of time without offering other options for the patient to try, such as pain management therapies or non-medicated alternatives.
When a doctor fails to exhibit due care when prescribing opioids, it could result in a drug addiction, accidental overdose, or even death. If you or someone you love has been harmed because a doctor was negligent in prescribing pain medication, you may have a medical malpractice or wrongful death claim.

My imaginary friend thinks you have some serious problems.
Its only funny until someone gets hurt.

Calling someone stupid doesn’t make you any smarter.
I don’t follow my dreams…I ask them where they are going and find them later!
Boys are like lava lamps…fun to look at but not very bright.
You laugh because imm different,i laugh because I just farted..

I asked Mom if I was a gifted child. She said they certainly wouldn’t have paid for me.
because life doesn’t have any sequels.
you’re going to miss tomorrow.

David Fincher’s US adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo was superb, and it’s a real shame that neither he nor stars Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig are returning for the follow-up.
The Girl In The Spider’s Web is actually based on the fourth book in the series, written by David Lagercrantz following the death of the original trilogy’s author Stieg Larsson.
It seems an odd choice to skip the other two books, but Claire Foy certainly looks the part, and with Fede Alvarez (the Evil Dead remake, Don’t Breathe) behind the camera, and Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight lending a hand on the script, we should at least get a slick, exciting thriller.
Zavvi will be bringing us the UK steelbook as an exclusive release, which will include 4K and Blu-ray discs.
Claire Foy (“The Crown”) stars in a new Dragon Tattoo story as Lisbeth Salander, the highly-skilled vigilante from the acclaimed Millennium book series. Salander and journalist Mikael Blomkvist find themselves caught in a web of spies, cybercriminals and corrupt government officials, as they race to rescue a dangerous programme capable of global destruction held by shadowy figures linked to Lisbeth’s past.

Scientists argue about the impact of GM foods on health. The USA, Canada, and China grow modified corn, soybeans, and potatoes, while Austria, Greece, and Hungary declared themselves GMO-free.
The harm of GM products isn’t proved, but if it’s important to you that your food is completely organic, WeGoRo will tell you how to avoid GM foods.
GMO means genetically modified organisms (plants, animals, microorganisms) with transplanted genes from other organisms.
GM foods are resistant to pests, herbicides, fungi, and viruses. They taste better and grow faster than organic products.
For now, there’s no scientific proof that modified products are harmful to humans. Numerous international research institutions and scientific organizations prove it.
GM products can cause an allergic reaction. For example, if you’re allergic to hazelnuts and you ate a product with hazelnut genes, it may cause an allergic reaction. This is why you should always read the information on labels attentively.
Organic products are marked in a special way. Look for “100% organic,“ ”Organic,“ or “Made with organic ingredients” labels. They guarantee the product doesn’t contain GM components.
Pay attention to the inscriptions ”GMO-free,“ ”Non-GMO," or “Made without genetically modified ingredients.” These products may contain GMO but no more than 0.9%.
In the USA, fruit and vegetables are marked with a PLU-code of 5 numbers on a label. The code on GM products starts with an 8.
2. Pay attention to how the product looks.
Genetically modified foods look perfect. They have the right shape, the same size, and a long shelf life because new genes let them resist negative external impact. For example, the Bacillus thuringiensis gene added to GM plants produces a toxin that poisons pests.
If vegetables are touched by insects, they’re probably organic.
78% of soybeans, 33% of corn, 64% of cotton, and 24% of the rapeseed in the world are transgenic.

9 March 2017, Singapore – International property solutions provider Lendlease today announced that the highly-anticipated Park Place Residences at PLQ is targeting to launch on 25 March 2017. The condominium is part of the centrally located mixed-use development, Paya Lebar Quarter, which also includes a retail mall and three office buildings. Lendlease also unveiled prices of the units, with 1-bedroom units starting from $780,000. Residents can look forward to a seamless, integrated and progressive lifestyle experience, enhanced by an array of services that will be provided by the condominium.
The showsuite will be open to the public from this Saturday, 11 March 2017.
Residents of Park Place Residences at PLQ can look forward to great doorstep convenience as part of the entire integrated development. With direct accessibility to Paya Lebar MRT Interchange, the excellent transport connectivity can be best represented by the numbers “2266” – a 2-minute walk to 2 MRT lines, 6 stops to Central Business District and 6 stops to Changi Airport. In addition, the almost 4-hectare Paya Lebar Quarter precinct will be a key catalyst to the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s masterplan to transform the 12-hectare Paya Lebar Central into a regional business hub.
Given these strong project attributes, the 429-unit condominium is attractively priced: 1-bedroom apartments, which comprise 117 units, will be priced from $780,000. 234 units of 2-bedroom apartments – the unit type with the highest proportion – will be priced from $1 million. There will be 78 units of 3-bedroom apartments, and they will be rolled out at a starting price from $1.6 million.
25 March 2017 will mark the first phase of sales for the project. While Lendlease is putting up all units of Park Place Residences at PLQ for selection, it is intending to sell about 40% of its stock as part of its first release. The decision on units to be released will be made once Lendlease has assessed market demand. Lendlease shared that they plan to retain the remaining units and release them in tandem with future announcements about the integrated development. Such announcements include upcoming news of the commercial towers, retail mall, as well as the larger Paya Lebar Central area.
At the showsuite, in addition to being able to view the physical show units of the one, two and three-bedroom units, visitors can also use the virtual reality (VR) technology available to take a 3D virtual tour around the Paya Lebar Quarter precinct. This includes experiencing the connectivity to the retail and office components, the public realm as well as how the development links to the Paya Lebar MRT interchange.
Park Place Residences at PLQ has been awarded the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Award (Platinum). With this, residents can be assured of a sustainable environment that enhances comfort, health and well-being, as well as reduced utility bills through energy and water efficient designs.
As part of Lendlease’s commitment to enhance the lifestyle experience, residents will be able to enjoy car-sharing services offered by the precinct. The car sharing-vehicles will be located within the Paya Lebar Quarter retail mall carpark. Residents who wish to use a car will simply have to make a reservation on the appointed car-sharing provider’s website. On top of the strong transport accessibility and connectivity, the car-sharing service will also provide an alternative transport option for residents of Park Place Residences at PLQ.
Furthermore, Lendlease is conceptualising a mobile application which will add to the seamless lifestyle experience for residents. The intent of the Paya Lebar Quarter Integrated Application is to offer residents seamless maintenance payment options, on-demand services, as well as the ease of booking facilities with a few taps of their phone.
The Park Place Residences at PLQ showsuite will open from 11 to 20 March 2017.

What Percentage of Small Business Expenses Should Go to Payroll?
A business has high variable costs when many of its costs change depending on the amount of business it does. Because a car wash requires more supplies, utilities and employees when it's doing a high volume of business, car wash owners can expect high variable costs. In fact, almost all of the costs associated with running a car wash are variable ones.
Your employees are a significant source of costs. Salaries, benefits and employee training can cost thousands of dollars each month. If your business is successful, you may need to hire more employees or promote part-time employees to full-time status. The costs of paying overtime -- one and a half times the employee's hourly rate -- and covering your share of payroll taxes can creep up steadily as you gain more business.
You can't run a car wash without soap, wax, cloths, car fragrances and similar items. The amount you'll spend on these items is directly tied to how much business you're doing. A successful car wash will have to invest much more in cleaning supplies and may decide to operate a small convenience store stocked with cards, foods and similar items. This can cut into your profits, but buying in bulk may help reduce the amount you spend.
Car washes can quickly run up high utility bills. You'll have to pay the costs of electricity and water, and if you offer hot-water treatments, your costs can go even higher. The more cars you service, the more utilities you'll use. You might opt to pay for cable or Internet service as your client base increases, but because these utilities usually charge a flat fee, your costs won't vary after you sign up.
Successful businesses have to review and revise contracts and may even face lawsuits from customers or employees. The more business you do, the more likely it is that you'll run into a legal problem, and the cost of an attorney can become a variable business cost. Likewise, you may have to contract with advertising agencies, and the amount you spend can depend on how much business you're doing. The costs of most professional services will generally increase along with your customer base.

As the nation marks the one year anniversary of the Virginia Tech Massacre, one group is calling on Wisconsin lawmakers to help prevent future gun violence.
It was one year ago today that a lone gunman killed 32 people on the Virginia Tech campus, wounded 17 others, and then killed himself.
Jeri Bonavia with the Wisconsin Anti-Violence Effort (WAVE) says it highlights a tragedy occurring nationwide each day. She says over 30 people are murdered everyday with guns in the US, and at least another 50 die as the result of gun violence or suicide.
WAVE is joining several groups nationwide that are holding "lie-ins" to mark the anniversary of VA Tech. They'll gather in Milwaukee and at the state Capitol building in Madison today, where demonstrators will lie down one by one in silence to honor the victims of gun violence everywhere.
Bonavia says the goal of the demonstration is to push for reforms to help prevent future violence, such as requiring expanded background checks for gun purchases. She says citizens are outraged that a year after the massacre little has been done to prevent future tragedies.

Minister of Information John Akologu Tia has dragged the Editor of the Daily Guide Newspaper to the National Media Commission for what he says is an attempt by the paper to destroy his reputation through its reportage and editorials.
The Minister wants the paper to retract and render an unqualified apology to him for comments made about him in its editorial of Monday November 22, 2010 headlined “John Tia’s Theatricals” which attacked his personality or face the legal consequences.
Below is the complaint addressed to the Chairman of the National Media Commission.
I write to formally make a complaint about the editorial of the Daily Guide Newspaper of Monday, November 22, 2010 headlined “John Tia’s Theatricals”.
This comes as a reaction to a statement issued under my hand as the Minister of Information and on a radio programme to clarify issues on the 2011 budget.
The paper instead of dealing with the issue rather attacked my personality.
I consider this attack as an attempt to destroy my reputation not only as a qualified and trained Journalist, but also my accomplishment as a Member of Parliament for 18 years now and achievement as the Minister of Information.
Unlike others who would have equally responded unethically, as a professional and one who knows the right thing to do, wishes to draw your attention to the said editorial.
I am by this letter requesting your office to order the paper to retract the editorial and render an unqualified apology to me or else I will instruct my lawyers to take the necessary action to redeem my hard won reputation.
Counting on your usual co–‐operation.


text: islands has emotional content far beyond any material significance because giving way on the island issue to Japan would be considered as once again compromising the sovereignty over the whole Korean peninsula. For Japan, the Dokdo issue may lack the same degree of strategic and economic values and emotional appeal as the other two territorial disputes that Japan has had with Russia and the two Chinas – namely the Northern Territories/Southern Kurile Islands and the Senkaku Islands, respectively. Nevertheless, fishing resources and the maritime boundary issues became highly salient with the introduction of UNCLOS. Also, the legal, political, and economic issues surrounding Dokdo are all intertwined with Japan’s other territorial disputes to the extent that concessions of sovereignty on any of these island disputes could jeopardize claims or negotiations concerning the rest. South Korea and Japan have forged a deeper diplomatic and economic partn- ship over the past decade. A new spirit of partnership after the landmark joint declaration of 1998 culminated in the successful co-hosting of the World Cup 2002. At the end of 2003 the two neighbors began to negotiate an FTA to further strengthen their already close economic ties. South Korea’s decades-long embargo on Japanese cultural products has now been lifted, while a number of South Korean pop stars are currently sweeping across Japan, creating the so-called “Korean Wave” fever. A pragmatic calculation of national interests would thus suggest cooperative behavior.

Why Should I Get a Criminal Justice Certificate in Kansas?
It should come as no surprise that criminal justice is often rated one of the most important parts of society. From rehabilitating criminals to protecting residents, the criminal justice field serves the needs of all residents.

Ethernet port: this port is boxy in shape and looks like a slightly larger telephone jack. It is also called a "network port" "broadband connection" "LAN port" "RJ45 port" or "10/100" port.
Cable Modem / DSL modem: Your cable or DSL modem (most likely provided by your service provider) is the box that provides you internet access. Always make sure that your modem is not actually the problem.
Router: Some cable/DSL modems have built in routers, sometimes routers are a separate box. A router has multiple "ethernet ports" for connecting multiple computers. Always make sure that you are bypassing a router to check if the router is not the problem.
DSL / PPOE: PPOE stands for Point To Point Protocol Over Ethernet - some DSL (if far away from service provider) and most satellite modems are configured with PPOE. Please realize that these settings need to be written down so you can configure your adapter to work with your ISP. If you need assistance with these settings ... typically your service provider can assist you via their customer service phone number.
DHCP/Cable Modem: DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is a type of network configuration used by devices (broadband modems, TIVO, Playstation, etc etc ) to obtain configuration information for operation in an internet network. This protocol reduces system administration workload, allowing devices to be added to the network with little or no manual intervention - hence the word dynamic.
Firewall: is a part of a computer or network with the purpose to block unauthorized inbound access while permitting outbound communication. It is also a device or set of devices configured to permit, deny, encrypt, decrypt or proxy all computer traffic between different networks (or domains) based upon a set of rules and other criteria. Typically a firewall is unnecessary on a Mac as other "rules and preferences" can be set within different programs like Safari, Mail, and even the Mac itself. If, as an average consumer you are worried about someone accessing your information - you should get a separate Mac for your financial or confidential matters - I would even recommend one of the original 1989 Mac SE/30 All In Ones. Firewalls can interfere greatly with just about all types of "network connections" - that is unless configured carefully by a knowledgeable network expert.

My name is JoAnne. I like pink. It's actually my favorite color. I absolutely love reading. I just graduated from law school (2011), and I'm supposed to be studying for the bar (key word is suppose). In truth, I don't know if I still want to be a lawyer. I really love reading. I have an e-reader. I am not sporty. Reading is my life. I can't dance. I can't sing. I co-own an internet cafe with my boyfriend. I am a freelance writer. I love reading! And the only thing I want to do for the rest of my life is read YOUNG ADULT BOOKS. When I was in law school, I did't have the time for blogging, or anything else for that matter. So, it was only 2 months ago when I tried blogging about books, and now I am completely addicted to it. As for my favorite reads, I LOVE the Iron Fey Series by Julie Kagawa. It's my number one favorite book!
Q: What is the best book you've read in the last month? What is the worst book you've read in the last month?.
The best book I've read was definitely Cinder by Marissa Meyer. I can't recommend it enough.
I haven't read any books that were horrible, but I was disappointed with several books that I'd been really looking forward to in the past month. Specifically Everneath by Brodi Ashton and Shade by Jeri Smith Ready. There were both okay, but didn't do it for me.
I really want to read Cinder and Everneath. I'm sad to see that Everneath didn't wow you.
I've yet to read Cinder, but it doesn't really sound like my typical genre. I read Everneath when it first came out, but it seemed pretty interesting to me.
I hope to read Cinder soon, thankfully I have not read Everneath, and the other I'm unfamiliar with.
I really need to start reading Cinder, I've heard so many awesome things about it. I've heard some mixed reviews about Everneath, some love it and some are a bit meh about it. Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks for hopping by, Alison! I haven't rad Cinder yet, but I've heard REALLY good things about it! Have a fabulous weekend!
I already follow you, but i haven't done follow friday in a long time. Great to see you again.
I loved cinder!! Hosting a giveaway right now where one follower will win a hardcover copy actually!
I haven't read Shade but I did read Everneath and I actually liked it. Cinder was amazing! I'm so glad you liked it.
All 3 of those books have been on my TBR wishlist for awhile now. Sorry that you can't recommend them though. :) Maybe I'll have a different opinion whenever I get around to reading someday. ;) Hehe. Beautiful covers at least! Hope you have a fantastic weekend, hon!
Ooh, yeah, I really enjoyed Cinder too! I'm holding off on reading Everneath because of all the mixed reviews I've read. Most of the ones I've read seem to weigh in as "meh", so I'm not in a hurry to get a copy.
I also LOVED Cinder such a great book! I can't wait for the next book.
Isn't it funny how tastes in books go. I love Shade and enjoyed Everneath but didn't like Cinder. I'm glad you did though. I don't really know why it didn't call to me. I know lots of people enjoyed it.
Hi from Dana at Dana's YA Bookpile. :) Happy Follow Friday!
Hi Alison! Thank you for featuring my blog this week!
I loved Cinder too! Prince Kai is just so swOOOOny. :D I haven't read Everneath yet, so I can't say. But I have read Shade, and I loved it. In fact, I'm eagerly waiting for Shine!
I haven't read Cinder but I did download the sample. I'm an old follower.
My FF is on the linky. Have a great weekend!
Oooh...heard great things about Cinder and sad you didn't like Everneath and Shade, both are on my to-read list. Oh, and Spellbound is the first book, the next one is called Spellcaster....I think. Thanks for stopping by!!!
I loved Cinder! I cant wait to read the next book in the series.
Great choice! I so need to read Cinder, I keep hearing amazing stuff about it.
You can follow me by email, network blogs, or linky followers.
Ahh I want to read Cinder SO SO SO bad :) It looks so great :D Lol. Happy friday!
I really want to read Cinder. I just won Shade but now I am scared. :( Hopefully it is somewhat enjoyable. Old follower. Thanks for stopping by.
I loved Cinder as well! It was such a great read. It left me dying to read the next book in the series, which is both good and torturous! Sorry you were disappointed by Shade, I really enjoyed that one.
Haven't read Cinder, but I want to.
I think I'm blind?!?!?! Where can I submit my FF link? I don't see the list.
Hi! I'm new...sort of, I was here last week and I didn't really do everything properly. Hopefully this week I'll be better.
I have Cinder sitting here waiting to be read. I haven't read the other two but they are on my list to read as well.
Shade was a book i liked but didn't love. The ending is when it got me interested.
Yay for Cinder!!!! :-) What a great book!
I like the question this week. I love hearing about fav's and not-so-much's. Thx for hopping by!!!
Great picks! I haven't had the chance to read Cinder yet, but by the sounds of thing I really need to get to it. Have a great weekend!
Cinder. I have been iffy about whether or not I should read this.
Shade.. I felt was good, but felt alot of people were talking up the series to be something that lacked.
I loved Everneath, but I can understand how it wouldn't be for everyone.
Hi, I have not read any of those novels. The code given under the new design actually is the old design code.
This was a tough question to answer cuz I am so far behind on my reading. Cinder sounds like a good recommendation to add if I ever get caught up! Have a great weekend!
I chose Cinder too - such an amazing book!
I'm sad Everneath was a disappointment for you. I've really been looking forward to reading that. It's funny but I wasn't interested in Cinder and it seems like everyone is enjoying it. Maybe I should give it a chance.
I've heard a lot about Cinder.
I really need to start reading Cinder. When I first heard about it in 2011, I wasn't interested in it, mostly because the cover scares me (I don't know why it does, since I don't get scared easily), but after hearing so many great things about it in the past few months, I've decided to give it a try.
My library has 11 copies (actually it doesn't, all of the public libraries in the city share books, I think everyone knows what I mean), it's going pretty fast, I was #20 (I think, I don't remember exactly) and now I'm #13.
I hope that I like it too.
By the way, I used your awesome advice and took off my comments verification, THANK YOU! I wish everyone did that.
I loved Everneath! I'm so sorry you didn't enjoy it. Everyone talks about Cinder, and I've seen one thing about it that sounded good, but then when I pick the book up and read the back, I just don't feel like reading it.
Cinder was fantastic! Definitely a very close second to Pandemonium. Or maybe tied! I do still have Everneath on my shelf, but it keeps getting pushed back. Hopefully I'll get around to it.
Yes, Cinder is very popular this month.
I'm glad you enjoyed Cinder, Alison! I really need to read it soon, because everyone is raving about it. I've been hearing mixed reviews about Everneath, which is unfortunate because I've been dying to read it.
I'm an old follower but I'm new to the Follow Friday Hop, and I really dig it so far!
Thanks for hopping over. It's been a while since I first followed you!
Ooh. I have Cinder on my to buy list. Glad you loved it!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I haven't read Everneath and I preferred Jeri Smith Ready's other series better than Shade.
Hey, thanks for stopping by my blog. I haven't read any of those books but I'm looking forward to reading them anyway. I'm following back!
I just won Cinder in a giveaway last week! I can't wait to read it! Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I have to take a look at Cinder. I love the title and the cover.
Totally loved Cinder - really got swept up by the characters and story!
I've literally just finished Everneath, and I see what you mean, it was... blah.
Hi, thanks for stopping by. :) I'm following you of course! I'm absolutely dying to read Cinder, it looks really interesting and I've seen so many sparkling reviews!
Everneath is on my TBR and I'll be on the lookout for Cinder, it sounds interesting. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Cinder is on my TBR list. I really need to read about it soon since everyone it talking about how good it is. Thanks for stopping by my FF!
It seems like a lot of people have enjoyed Cinder! Thanks for stopping by my blog! I am an old follower, of course!
Love your site. New follower via GFC.
thanks for stopping by my blog this week & thanks for hosting FF as always!
Thanks for hopping through. :) I haven't read any of the three books you mentioned, but I do plan on picking up Cinder sometime soon.
I also didn't think Everneath was that great! I really need to get my hands on Cinder!

All monies realized will be used towards the purchase of two defibrillators at a cost of $28,000. Defibrillation is a procedure used to treat life threatening conditions that affect the rhythm of the heart such as cardiac arrhythmia, ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. This procedure involves the delivery of an electric shock to the heart which causes depolarization of the heart muscles and re-establishes normal conduction of the heart’s electrical impulse.

A prodigy kouhai among the Undine students, she regularly practices with Akari and Aika despite technically being lower in 'rank.' Alice shares a room with Athena-senpai, one of the 3 great Undines on Aqua (the new name for Mars after it was terraformed). She respects her yet at the same time can't help but internally sigh at Athena-senpai's dojikko tendencies. Loves to use the adjective "dekkai" which translates to big/large. Normally a somewhat aloof and distant girl, she warms up a little to Akari and Aika. Despite keeping up a serious demeanour most of the time, she is a young girl - thus sometimes plays youthful games (e.g. "walk only on shadows to get home") and gets excited about potential romance stories like any other ordinary teenage girl. Maa, the cat that would eventually become the president of Alice's company (it's a good luck charm among Undine organisations - put a blue eyed cat as president), was at first a stray cat that Alice secretly adopted.
In short, Alice is a girl with a hardened exterior from the pressures of being a prodigy, but has a normal warm core.

HD Voice makes everything much better, and we tell you how.
If you’re an owner of a business or a large corporation, running around like a headless chicken really isn't a good way to go. You'll need a network disaster recovery plan, and here are some tips.
A headset is a great phone system feature for many reasons. It allows for multi-tasking, office mobility, superior noise control and crisp sound quality for focused, productive conversations.
Nowadays, more and more companies are moving from traditional to virtual servers “in the cloud,” and many new service-based deployments are starting.
How exactly do VoIP Phones work? By adding voice to a data network, you can reduce costs and enhance collaborations.
Back to School... How's Your Campus Network?
This month it seems fitting to highlight benefits of the latest school and campus telephone technology. Over the years, we've served many schools and businesses that are enjoying the benefits of newer technology.
Also known as VoIP or voice over IP, this system allows you to transmit and receive telephone calls via the internet.
No business can be completely safe from attacks, data, identity theft or viruses, but you can make it difficult for attackers to penetrate your network.
A network switch is a computer networking device that keeps your computer users connected to each other and/or the internet.

Those protests had little impact and the bans were removed in due course as the markets stabilized.
It’s now more than a year since those bans were imposed and we have a wealth of data to sift through to see whether the restrictions on short-selling worked. Alessandro Beber of the University of Amsterdam and Marco Pagano of the University of Naples Federico II have now carried out a study of the bans and regulatory constraints on short-selling during the recent financial crisis, by examining data for around 17,000 stocks from 30 countries. They compared the prices of stocks for which short-sales were restricted (financial stocks in some countries) with stocks that didn’t have these restrictions. They also estimated the impact of the ban by comparing stocks where short-selling was banned with similar stocks in countries where there was no ban.
Several months after the ban on short-sales had been imposed, in a telephone interview to Reuters, Christopher Cox, the former chairman of the US Securities and Exchange Commission who had banned short-selling of stocks for a few weeks, had the grace to say, “Knowing what we know now, I believe on balance the commission would not do it again. The costs (of the short-selling ban on financials) appear to outweigh the benefits."
We all know that more schooling results in better jobs and higher incomes—at least if we compare college graduates with high school graduates and those who have done their MBA from those that haven’t. But Philip Ourepoulos and Kjell Salvanes of the US National Bureau of Economic Research are interested in measuring the non-pecuniary benefits of more schooling.
Other benefits include a lower probability of finding oneself unemployed, much better chances in the marriage market, improvement in decision-making capabilities that lead to better choices, including more stable marriages and better parenting. The authors provide a long list of benefits: “Schooling also encourages patience and long-term thinking. Teen fertility, criminal activity, and other risky behaviour decrease with it. Schooling promotes trust and civic participation. It teaches students how to enjoy a good book and manage money."
Perhaps all this is true in the US. But in India, where a PhD or a postgraduate study course is often taken up by people unable to get a better job, the link between good jobs and schooling may be tenuous. Why else do thousands of people with post-graduate degrees apply for menial jobs in Indian Railways? And does our education system, with its emphasis on rote learning, really promote trust and improve our decision-making skills?

At least with Christmas lights, she will get to use them again next year. Instead, get her something that she can use for many years to come like this thoughtful rocker. This vintage rattan rocking chair would make a great present for expecting parents.

The Academy Awards are already shaping up to be a great night. The first 12 presenters have been announced. Half of them are not white and only white guy is on the list– Tom Holland, aka Spider Man. If all the announcements are like this, it’s going to be a much more embraceable night. Chadwick Boseman, aka the Black Panther, is in that first group.
My guess? Everyone from “Black Panther” will be seen on Oscar night– it’s an ABC/Disney tie in with the Oscars and Marvel of positive synergy. After all, Lupitz Nyong’o has an Oscar, Michael B. Jordan will get one eventually, Daniel Kaluuya is nominated for one this year. And the world has to meet Letitia Wright. The stars are aligning nicely!

(*JP Nadda) In 2014, this government made a promise to the people of India, to safeguard their health, to provide the men, women, and children of this country the best chance to survive and thrive. One of the key initiatives was to protect as many of our children against as many diseases as possible, with the introduction of new vaccines into the Universal Immunization Programme (UIP), as well as by ensuring these reach the unreached. This was one of the most significant policy decisions in public health arena taken because of the visionary leadership of Shri Narendra Modi Ji. Today, I can say that promise is well on its way to being fulfilled.
With close to 1.8 lakh deaths and over 20 lakh cases annually, child pneumonia poses a significant financial burden on India. The costs of treating a case of pneumonia perpetuates the cycle of poverty. Parents of children who contract pneumonia have to pay expensive hospital bills, which can cost them several months in wages. To add to this, they have to take time off and stay home to care for sick children, negatively impacting India’s economy. Healthier children enjoy better cognitive development, are better in school, missing fewer days, and in the long run, when they join the workforce, they tend to be more productive and earn more. Health thus creates wealth. There are several global examples where healthier populations grow their incomes and escape from poverty quicker, making PCV an investment into India’s progress towards becoming an economically developed nation. India leads the world in pneumonia deaths but, with the launch of PCV, we have definite chance at changing that statistic and making a serious dent in our contribution to the global burden of the disease.
