The Clinic

by deliciousthoughts ©

There are several stories on this site that started off my interest in interracial lesbian domination. This is MY version of one of what I remember of one of them.

"Kathy, we're ready for you now," the receptionist said.

The brunette pushed up from her seat in the waiting room and headed through the white door across the corridor. The room she entered was larger and more comfortable-looking than she had anticipated, and the soft music playing in the background added to the surprising sense of calmness and relaxation. Even the long examination table situated in the centre of the room was covered with padded black leather.

The black nurse who greeted her was tall, buxom and beautiful—more like a model than a nurse, Kathy thought. Her white uniform was figure-hugging tight and the two buttons undone ensured that a significant amount of her impressive dark cleavage was on display.

"Please accept our apologies for the delay," she said, flashing her white teeth as she smiled. "But we can get started immediately. Once we've gone through the formalities, Dr. Bock will join us."

Kathy nodded. "Dr. Bock?"

"I'll explain everything as we go along," the nurse said, flashing another smile. "We're a private clinic as you know and everything here has been designed to ensure our patients are as comfortable as possible. Just relax and lie on the table, please..."

Kathy did as she was bid, smoothing her skirt down her thighs and staring up at the ceiling. She tried to think why they would have a mirror there, but then the nurse was at her side again.

"My name is Amaka." She handed Kathy a small paper cup. "Just drink this, it will help you relax. Then I suggest you close your eyes and concentrate on the music. We want you in your most tranquil state for the consultation with Dr. Bock, don't we?"

Kathy swallowed the drink in a single mouthful and laid her head back onto the white pillow as Amaka took the empty cup from her. They might want her in a relaxed state but she knew the importance of staying alert. Whatever was in the drink, she was too clever to let it affect her. And yet ... she was already beginning to experience a detached, almost dream-like state.

It couldn't be that powerful, could it?

"I've completed the paperwork before you arrived," she heard Amaka say. The nurse had such a soft and yet commanding voice. "This is what is going to happen now. I'll help you off with your clothes so that you are ready for the doctor to see you and while I'm doing that, just enjoy the music and listen to what I tell you. In fact, Kathy, the more you hear my voice the more relaxed you're going to feel."

Kathy opened her eyes dreamily at the woman as she reached down to unbutton her blouse. Instinctively, she raised her hands but Amaka moved them back by her side before returning to the buttons again.

"Shhh," she softly whispered. "That's alright, baby. You're a little out of it. You need to relax. Amaka is going to do everything for you."

Baby? Nurses didn't call patients 'baby'?

And yet somehow the word felt soothing. So did the way this beautiful woman smiled at her as she removed her blouse. Even more of her magnificent black cleavage spilled out of her white uniform as she bent over and Kathy had an almost overwhelming urge to raise her head so that she could feel their warmth against her face.

The cool air hit her nipples before she realised that Amaka had removed her bra. She shyly pulled her arms across her chest to cover herself but the nurse was taking hold of her wrists again and returning her arms to their position at her side.

"There's no need to hide them, baby. They're beautiful."

Instinct told Kathy that she should have been alarmed by the words but instead she felt a surge of pride. This voluptuous black woman had the most amazing breasts and yet she was complimenting Kathy on hers.

"Deliciously high," Amaka's soft voice continued. "And they're wonderfully perky. They're very similar to my girlfriend's and she has long nipples like yours, too. I can get her off just by sucking on them."

The words washed through Kathy's mind. Something didn't feel right. But then, why shouldn't this nurse talk to her like this? They were two women, after all. It had been some time since anyone had sucked on her breasts, and certainly never a woman. That wouldn't be right!

But she had an open mind. She never judged others...

A delicious tingle began to cover her body as the image of the sexy nurse sucking on her breasts suddenly appeared in her mind. My God, where had that come from?

She couldn't remember Amaka removing her skirt, although she thought she could remember raising her ass to let her slide it away. She pushed up again when the woman's soft hands slipped under the waistband of her panties and slithered the silky garment down to her ankles.

"I need to examine you, Kathy," she heard her say. "You're feeling incredibly relaxed now, aren't you?"

It was true. She was. There was something in the back of her mind, trying to tell her something. But it wasn't easy to remember what that was.

"Some patients find the examination enjoyable," Amaka softly continued. "So I want you to let yourself go. Do you understand? Such feelings are only natural."

Kathy looked upwards into the ceiling mirror as the soft hands cupped her breasts. The contrast in colour between the dark hands and her white skin was astonishingly attractive. Amaka had an almost feathery touch and while something didn't feel right, it was difficult to protest when the woman's touch felt as good as this.

Her nipples had grown erect under the nurse's manipulation and the more those hands caressed her breasts the more aroused she was becoming. That wasn't right, was it? But then Amaka had told her that she would enjoy the examination, that the feelings were only natural.

She wondered if Amaka could tell how aroused she'd become? If she even had a hint of what Kathy was feeling, she'd be shocked.

Amaka glanced down at the heavily breathing woman. Her only disappointment was that she was so compliant. She loved the rare moments when one of her subjects found the will to fight against her. The struggle to resist always added an extra edge to her work.

There was never any doubt about the eventual outcome, of course. Not a single woman had yet been able to withstand her ministrations. And certainly not after the combination of relaxant and aphrodisiac they'd consumed. But one day she'd test herself further. She'd seduced women in bars around the world, why not in here without the drug?

But this one wouldn't take long.

"How does that feel, Kathy?" she softly asked.

"Wonderful," the prone woman murmured.

Her eyes were closed but she was breathing more deeply.

Amaka spread her fingers across the woman's perky breasts and used just the tips of her fingers to manipulate those rock hard nipples. When Kathy's body jerked on the padded table, she smiled and squeezed each long nipple between her thumbs and forefingers.

This time the brunette moaned out loud.

The black nurse took a step back as she considered her next step. Her normal practice was to tease her patients for longer, to work them up into a state from which there was no turning back. But this one was already ripe for the plucking. Why not?

"Why don't you open your eyes and watch in the mirror?" she told her.

Kathy's dreamy eyes half-opened and she looked upwards.

Amaka let her watch their reflections as she undid the remaining buttons of her white uniform and slid it from her black shoulders. It dropped to the floor at her feet. Straight or gay, she'd rarely met a woman unable to resist her voluptuous body ... and never when they had an aphrodisiac flowing through their veins.

She posed for a moment in just the half-cup bra, matching thong, stay-ups and heels. The cream coloured lingerie provided the perfect complement to her dark skin.

Kathy's gaze was all over her body and when reached behind her to unclip her bra, the woman's eyes almost popped out of her head.

"I know what you want," Amaka whispered softly.

She leant forward, allowing her full black breasts to sway across the woman's face. At first she teased her, drawing each chocolate-coloured nipple across Kathy's mouth but pulling a fraction away when the brunette tried to capture one between her pouting lips.

Only when the pleading eyes found hers did she allow her to suck one inside.

"That's it, baby," she softly encouraged, sliding her right hand down Kathy's body.

The panting woman was so wet she was easily able to work two fingers inside her.

"That's it," she breathed. "Suck on those boobies while I take care of that need. If you're really good, I'll let you taste Amaka's black pussy before we introduce you to Dr. Bock..."

Stephanie Ames bit her nails as she continually glanced out of the car window. Her girlfriend had disappeared into the Clinic some time ago and since then she'd waited nervously for her return.

Something was wrong. And she didn't intend to wait any longer.

She locked the car door behind her and made her way across to the entrance, her eyes sweeping around her for the sight of anything unusual. She couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was watching her but that was ridiculous. No-one knew she was there.

It was important that she didn't blow her girlfriend's cover, of course. But every one of the dozen reasons that had crossed her mind for the delay had been fading fast with each passing second. Given the nature of their investigation, waiting any longer had become a no brainer.

The woman's unflustered reaction at reception did nothing for her sense of unease. It was almost as if she'd been expected. Despite conveying the sense of urgency to her— Angelica Moran was attending the Clinic for a consultation but she needed to speak to her without delay—the woman simply told her to take a seat until she could trace 'Miss Moran's ' whereabouts.

Stephanie's mind wouldn't settle as she waited. She and Angelica both worked as investigative reporters on The Daily News and had been piecing together this story for a few weeks now.

The final link had been to get inside the Clinic to corroborate their suppositions. Only then they could present their findings to Jack Beaumont, their editor. In hindsight, maybe they should have told him—told anyone—what they had planned. They were taking a risk going undercover without back-up.

But they both knew their grizzly editor only too well. Without the inside track they wouldn't have been able to gain Beaumont's agreement to going undercover like this.

They could be way off the mark with the story, of course, but neither of them thought so. There were too many coincidences.

And then there was Emma Parks. Sweet little Emma was a good friend of theirs—a young woman who had married her childhood sweetheart. She had been as faithful a girl as you could ever meet until her consultation at the Clinic. Since then, her personality had changed completely. She had quit her job as a teacher, her marriage was on the rocks and rumour had it she was now working as an escort.

Little Emma—who wouldn't say boo to a goose!

On the face of it, such a thing just didn't seem possible and yet further investigations had seen them identify two other women who seemed to be in similar situations. Not one of the three admitted to anything, of course. They wouldn't even talk to Stephanie or Angelica.

The only link the reporters had between the three women was the Clinic, and in particular the specialist consultant. But all research on the guy—James Bock—had drawn a blank. That was when they had decided they needed to experience the clinic first hand.

That plan had seems sensible at the time but now, with Angelica missing, Stephanie was having doubts.

She glanced at her watch again—she'd been waiting for over ten minutes. Enough was enough. She jumped up from her seat but just as she approached the receptionist again, a voice to her left called out her name.

Amaka sent the blonde reporter a wide smile as she turned towards her.

"Stephanie Ames?" she repeated, holding the door to the consulting room open. "You're looking for Angelica? Please come this way."

She watched the woman do a double take, just as Angelica had earlier in the day. She'd checked herself in the mirror and knew how hot she looked in the white uniform. It left little to the imagination. Plus her face was flushed with sex. That always added to her attractiveness.

"Sorry, the air conditioning is playing havoc today," she added as Stephanie walked past her into the empty room.

She picked up two glasses from the table and drained hers. Unlike the other, it contained nothing but water. Then she handed the other glass to the blonde.

"Please, the air is dry. It's important that we keep taking fluid."

She picked up the jug from the table as the woman hesitated. She could tell what the blonde was thinking—she wouldn't be here long enough to worry about a dry throat. She just wanted to find Angelica and get out of there before anyone was suspicious.

"Drink up and I'll pour us another," she insisted.

As usual, it only required a gentle nudge. Stephanie finished the drink in three sips but then instantly asked.

"Where's Angelica?"

Amaka smiled gently and then refilled both empty glasses. She placed her own on the small table beside her, out of the way.

"Please sit down and I'll explain," she patiently told her. "Please, make yourself comfortable."

She nodded to two chairs beside the padded table and the woman took the one nearest to her. She looked a little light headed—the drug was working. The need to relax would be overwhelming.

It's the air," she soothingly explained when Stephanie raised a hand to her head. "Please, finish your drink."

Her uniform rode up her thigh as she sat next to Stephanie and crossed her long chocolate legs. The blonde's eyes followed the movement all the way to the lacy tops of her nude-coloured stay-ups and then her face coloured as she realised Amaka was closely watching her.

She sipped at her drink—once, twice—and then she had drained the glass again.

The nurse smiled. This was going to be even easier than she had anticipated. The woman wouldn't be able to resist with one dose inside her, but with two it was a formality. There wasn't any need to gradually lead her into this, she could have fun with it...

Angelica had been attractive, with that dark wavy hair and deep brown eyes, but this woman was something else. Amaka had a preference for blondes, especially natural blondes with blue eyes. And this one clearly spent hours at the gym. She had a body like a tigress.

"My name is Amaka," she said, the words temporarily drawing those cloudy eyes away from her body and back to her face. "Yours is Stephanie Ames and your girlfriend is Angelica Moran. You both work for The Daily News. Investigative reporters, as I understand it."

Stephanie stared at her for a moment. It was difficult for her to think straight, Amaka knew that, and she paused for a good thirty seconds while her words filtered home.

"No," the blonde eventually said, without any conviction. "We—"

"There's no point in denying it," Amaka interrupted. "We research our potential patients thoroughly and knew who Angelica was before she arrived. But you, well, you're a lovely bonus. Your girlfriend has told us all about you."

Stephanie looked at her aghast and then shook her head as if that would help her make sense of all this.

"Let me see if I can help you," Amaka continued. "Angelica was very obliging when I asked her to explain. Mind you, by then she was like a bitch in heat. That girl practically screams out her orgasms, doesn't she? Very sexy."

She crossed her legs again and the woman's gaze couldn't help but take in the sliver of black skin that appeared above the lacy tops of her stockings. Her blue eyes were wide at Amaka's words, disbelieving, but at the same time she was trying to control the sexual heat running through her body."

"Have I said anything that's untrue?" the nurse gloated. "She's a hot bitch, that girlfriend of yours. Let me see, she said that you're both reporters investigating the clinic and guess what ... no-one at your paper knows that you're here. How convenient. She posed as a patient and wanted to understand all about our procedures."

She leaned forward and took Stephanie's hand as the woman's gaze dipped into her heavy cleavage.

"So I showed her," she softly continued, reassuringly squeezing the blonde's fingers. "She's a very sexual person, wouldn't you say? And you don't need to take my word for it, baby, I'm going to show you what happened? We always tape our consultations. They come in useful in the unlikely event we meet any resistance later."

She grinned as she eased herself up from her seat.

The video screen on the wall next to the padded table sprang to life when she touched a button beside it.

"I first put the patient at ease," she explained, turning to face Stephanie.

She crossed her arms under her pendulous breasts as she continued.

"The music helps and so does the drink we feed them. It's both a relaxant and an aphrodisiac. How are you feeling now? Is the little white girl hot to trot, like your girlfriend? You've had a double dose, baby. Why don't you watch? I think you need to see this..."

Stephanie was trying to take in everything that Amaka had told her but in her dream-like state it was all too difficult to comprehend.

She should be horrified—she was horrified—but her whole body was burning with arousal. Could it be true, had the nurse fed her an aphrodisiac? Why else would she be feeling like this?

Was that what she'd done to Angelica, too?

Her girlfriend was on the screen, lying on the padded table. The shock that ran through her when she realised that Angelica was naked was matched by the sight of Amaka's body in just her lingerie. She was magnificent—a sexual black Goddess.

And she was seducing her girlfriend.

"Don't be shy, baby. You wanted to know what happens in here and Amaka is showing you. How else are you gonna write your story, huh? Now why don't you relax and let Amaka take care of you, make you feel better. You'd like that baby, yes? I know you would..."

A confused frown was spreading across Angelica's brow as she lifted her head up. It was a look Stephanie knew well. Her girlfriend was trying to puzzle something out and invariably stood her ground until she had.

"I need to think..." she breathed.

"No you don't, baby..." Amaka softly murmured, running a reassuring hand across the reporter's cheek. "Think of why you're here. You want to know the truth, don't you? And you badly need to feel good, don't you, baby? Let's relax you..."

Amaka triumphantly smiled at the camera as she spoke and then she picked up a bottle and poured some oil onto Angelica's body. When her hands caressed the liquid into the brunette's flesh, Stephanie could see the way her girlfriend slightly shifted her body on the padded table. She could hear that barely perceptible purr she knew so well.

"How does that feel, baby?" the nurse asked, reaching for more oil.

"Wonderful," her entranced girlfriend murmured.

Her eyes were closed and she was breathing more deeply.

Stephanie wanted to do or say something, but she could only watch helplessly as Amaka poured more oil onto her palms and then reached for Angelica's perky breasts. Normally, her girlfriend would have resisted with all her might ... but not this time.

"Just relax," the nurse persuasively murmured.

She spread her fingers across Angelica's breasts, making sure she brushed against the rock hard nipples. Stephanie knew exactly how much her girlfriend loved having her breasts pleasured and the way she sighed and then squirmed on the table sent the same message to Amaka. The nurse smoothed her fingers over Angelica's breasts again and again, flicking across her erect nipples.

on Giving

Sitting, somehow ruminating,
looks and thoughts
flow as the river
turgid somnolent
when did He lose
the Way
she knows where to
take him

But that forlorn cry
of the loon in the distance,
the song of the
orcas and that of the seadragons.
a scorpion fish am I
to gobble all.

Those unaware
and those knowingly
come to Me;
fodder for My hunger,
feed off My entrails

supping and gluttoning voraciously
Take Me in parts
I am there to feed
Those psyches ,
selfsame ruins and
dizzy whorls
Yet again ;
now Mine eternally.

I have chosen to become a personal support worker for both professional and personal reasons. It was a profession that came to me from a deeply personal place.

At a very young age, I had the opportunity or life experience of becoming a carer. I looked after my own grandmother during her terminal illness. However, throughout the years I had the chance to help her, I was able to get to know the woman she was, before I knew her as ‘grandma’. I had heard of her successes as a tough businesswoman and matriarch.

Importance of Data Collection  Mean Daily Flow in North Fork Catoctin Creek
It is important to have good information about the quantity and quality of water in our streams because it is so vital to the citizens and economy of Loudoun as well as to our natural environment. For this reason, data such as the streamflow data from North Fork Catoctin Creek, are collected and analyzed to provide the information needed to help us responsibly manage this resource.

Stream stage and discharge are currently measured at ten gauging stations in Loudoun County with the data provided in near real-time on the Internet.

Nine of the stations are operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) with funding assistance from Loudoun County. Eight of these stream gauges were established with funding assistance from a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency grant that the county obtained in 2004.

Maps  Data Collecting Equipment
An interactive map developed by the USGS shows the locations of the stream gauging stations and provides access to stream data. This map also provides data from two USGS groundwater level monitoring sites and two precipitation monitoring sites.

The county has worked with the USGS to upgrade stream gauges in the Goose Creek and Limestone Branch watersheds to provide flood warning image of stream gauge equipment information. At these sites, data are recorded and transmitted every 15 minutes once the water levels in the streams rise to a predetermined height indicative of potential flooding. This information is immediately available to assist emergency officials in alerting homeowners in historically flood prone areas in these two watersheds.

KHK Antibody, Ketohexokinase (fructokinase) Antibody, Hepatic fructokinase Antibody, Ketohexokinase Antibody

KHK / Ketohexokinase encodes ketohexokinase that catalyzes conversion of fructose to fructose-1-phosphate. The product of this gene is the first enzyme with a specialized pathway that catabolizes dietary fructose. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.

Anti-KHK mouse monoclonal antibody immunofluorescent staining of COS7 cells transiently transfected by pCMV6-ENTRY KHK.

Western blot

Western blot
HEK293T cells were transfected with the pCMV6-ENTRY control (Left lane) or pCMV6-ENTRY KHK (Right lane) cDNA for 48 hrs and lysed. Equivalent amounts of cell lysates (5 ug per lane) were separated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with anti-KHK.

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry
HEK293T cells transfected with either overexpress plasmid (Red) or empty vector control plasmid (Blue) were immunostained by anti-KHK antibody, and then analyzed by flow cytometry.

Hi Arun,

Le 17/10/2016 à 18:30, Arun Patidar a écrit :
Hi Jacques,

Thanks for looking into this and help. I agree with your concern that it is
hard to review many subtickets.

Actually I don't review patches when they are so many and *especially* dispatched with so *many subtasks.* It would be quite a waste of time (Jira is not always responding quickly if you see what I mean, and yes this is an euphemism ;))
I wait they are committed and then review commits.

Also it would be more easy to apply/review
patch from one relevant ticket. For the same reason I started commiting
multiple patches from different ticket in one commit.

That does not change much for the reviews. It's just slightly easier, because
you have not to open several commits emails. I still appreciate :)

The reason behind the current approach with OFBIZ-7828 is that, on
community day multiple people can work on different part of a same ticket.
Devs working on subtickets are responsible for development, self review and
testing. Small chunks facilitate devs to follow this procedure for each
entity. So we can say, all services added till now completely tested from
webtools by devs.

OK, I can understand that, and I also remember myself for advocating on doing so. It was though when things are complicated. But then anyway I'll simply not help but will continue to review

So its easy to do distributed efforts on this long on going ticket by
sub-tickets. And for reviewing purpose I started committing multiple
tickets in single commit. I'll continue on picking multiple tickets and do
single commit.

Sounds good to me, thanks for your answer

I think we already use uintptr_t in the codebase, and if it's not
present, we typedef it to unsigned long.  So I think it should be fine
(and well-defined) if instead of doing

  void *p, *q;
  if (p < q)

you do:

  void *p, *q;
  if ((uintptr_t)p < (uintptr_t)q)

Then on those systems where the compiler has some bizarre undefined
behavior checking, the code will work.  On systems that don't have
uintptr_t, the compiler is probably not smart enough to perform such a
check anyway.

I would say there is not much difference.
The differences arise between providers like TuneIn and Deezer.
Squeezebox serves both.
See their websites for the stations they have.

Engels 1894: The Peasant Question in France and Germany

The bourgeois and reactionary parties greatly wonder why everywhere among Socialists the peasant question has now suddenly been placed upon the order of the day. What they should be wondering at, by rights, is that this has not been done long ago. From Ireland to Sicily, from Andalusia to Russia, and Bulgaria, the peasant is a very essential factor of the population, production and political power. Only two regions of Western Europe form an exception. In Great Britain proper, big, landed estates and large-scale agriculture have totally displaced the self-supporting peasant; in Prussia east of the Elbe, the same process has been going on for centuries; here, too, the peasant is being increasingly "turned out", or at least economically and politically forced into the background.

The peasant has so far largely manifested himself as a factor of political power only by his apathy, which has its roots in the isolation of rustic life. This apathy on the part of the great mass of the population is the strongest pillar not only of the parliamentary corruption in Paris and Rome but also Russian despotism. Yet it is by no means insuperable. Since the rise of the working-class movement in Western Europe, particularly in those parts where small peasant holdings predominate, it has not been particularly difficult for the bourgeoisie to render the socialist workers suspicious and odious in the minds of the peasants as partageux, as people who want to "divide up", as lazy, greedy, city dwellers who have an eye on the property of the peasants. The hazy socialist aspirations of the revolution of February 1848 were rapidly disposed of by the reactionary ballots of the French peasantry; the peasant, who wanted peace of mind, dug up from his treasured memories the legend of Napoleon, the emperor of the peasants, and created the Second Empire. We all know what this one feat of the peasants cost the people of France; it is still suffering from its aftermath.

But much has changed since then. The development of the capitalist form of production has cut the life-strings of small production in agriculture; small production is irretrievably going to rack and ruin. Competitors in North and South America and in India have swamped the European market with their cheap grain, so cheap that no domestic producer can compete with it. The big landowners and small peasants alike can see ruin staring them in the face. And since they are both owners of land and country folk, the big landowners assume the role of champions of the interests of the small peasants, and the small peasants by and large accept them as such.

Meanwhile, a powerful socialist workers' party has sprung up and developed in the West. The obscure presentiments and feelings dating back to the February Revolution have become clarified and acquired the broader and deeper scope of a programme that meets all scientific requirements and contains definite tangible demands; and a steadily growing number of Socialist deputies fight for these demands in the German, French, and Belgian parliaments. The conquest of political power this party must first go from the towns to the country, must become a power in the countryside. This party, which has an advantage over all others in that it possesses a clear insight into the interconnections between economic causes and political effects and long ago descried the wolf in the sheep's clothing of the big landowner, that importunate friend of the peasant — may this party calmly leave the doomed peasant in the hands of his false protectors until he has been transformed from a passive into an active opponent of the industrial workers? This brings us right into the thick of the peasant question.

Sample Statement of Purpose (SOP) For Entrepreneurship executive MBA

As a 13-year-old, I realized my passion for adventure when I crossed the Atlantic Ocean (a 400-mile single lap journey) on a small coastal freighter (1). Over time this passion was channelized through entrepreneurship. My first company “did roaring business” for ##-years providing in-vogue sunglasses at ABC college and funded most of my college tuition.

In 1985, I incorporated ABC Inc. to cater to a clear need for better shipping consignment handling services in the South Florida coastal zone. We were the first to operate a non-union stevedoring (2) company in the Port of DEF (Florida) in 50 years. We were also the first to take a multinational corporation, Dole Fresh Fruit, from a union to a non-union terminal and a stevedoring operation.  With $0.5 Mn. in capital, we grew to a 100-strong organization with $ 10Mn onwards in annual revenues and $5 Mn. in engineering assets. Mid-way in 1990, DEF, was launched as a synergistic allied company for shipping-transportation services. We gained maximum traction with many firsts to our credit: a simple, customer-friendly service packages and operations capable of handling both consumers and high-volume enterprises. Collectively, we crossed the $70 Mn. mark and with clients across a variety of industries.

By the age of 34, my increased interest in health and fitness (first marathon at age 38, personal best of 3:13 min.) drew my attention to various lacunae in our healthcare industry. XYZ, Inc. was thus formed in August 2003. The first venture launched 4 innovative insurance plans that eased insurance payments by offering insurance as a “a’ la-carte” product. With “risk-adjusted” annual savings of $ 200   per subscriber, my minuscule investment grew to $2 Mn./year in revenues and with sound profit margins. This 2-employee venture operates through 500 resellers and a myriad of sub-contracted functions (reference: Org. chart). Our current incubate XYZ, Inc. is a disruptive innovation promoting price transparency and allowing consumers to share fees charged by healthcare providers.

With the above track record of singularly being able to convert market gaps to viable enterprises, I aim towards being building PE – funded businesses and scale them to the publicly-funded stage and beyond. My near-term goal post-MBA is thus to gestate and expand the “ABC” disruptive-innovation business model through such funding. This venture will fuel my vision of providing reasonably-priced healthcare services in the United States market. In the Long Term (5-7 years post-MBA), I will continue to locate viable opportunities and establish similar leading-edge ventures to absolve challenges in similar highly-regulated healthcare economies.

This M.B.A program forms an important step towards actualization of my current goals. At a generic level, this program will further enhance my instincts and develop a structured approach towards identifying market gaps, refining business and product ideas and developing robust implementation plans. It will broaden perspectives and enable foundational learning at a diverse, international level of enterprise complexity and with deep insights on strategic and tactical issues. I also hope to gain insights on fostering the best organizational systems and cultures.

From the functional standpoint, I seek a stronger working knowledge of corporate finance, company valuation and other such areas. This is critical to my planned transition from private-enterprise thinking to stock-price-governed equity funding.

ABC is a premier business school with students, faculty, guest speakers and alumni from across the continents. Classroom discussions, collaborative assignments and hands-on projects (Business Applications and Strategic Management Project, Project Seminar and International Session) in such a setting will widen my thought process with exposure to multiple approaches proposed for a given challenge. It will also enhance competencies of operating and leading in a transnational environment.

I value the fact that this education does not stop at the classroom but continues through relationships that are built with professors, classmates and alumni of the PKE MBA program. The school’s alumni network is one of the strongest in the United States – a definite social capital for both near and long term. It is thus my most preferred destination for pursuing an Executive MBA program.

(2) Stevedoring: Mechanized (often with usage of heavy engineering equipment) loading or unloading of ship cargo

    The MBA application requests further information:
    “Please Tell us about yourself and your reasons for wanting to study this course”

    Please guide.

    • Dear Mr. Saud Ahmed,

      Good day. Per our email exchanges, we have attempted a few calls on the number you have provided.

      Meanwhile, we will go ahead and respond to your question below:

      1. The first part is mainly focused on “career progress till date”. The ideal content for this would be more towards how you started your career, the intermediate achievements (This has to be done very specifically) and how you have reached your current designation”
      2.The 2nd part should talk about very specific career goals – with specific job titles you aim for after MBA (immediately and long term) and the value you will add to your employers
      3.Finally, the 3rd part must have very specific details about the program that will help you achieve your goals

      Hope this helps. We can assist you in building this document with our customized service. IF you also need help with Resume and recommendation letters, we have discounted special packages.

      Do let us know

  • Evergreen Lodge

    250 S Frontage Road, Vail, CO (map)

    39.644073 -106.382378

  • VAIL, COLORADO February 4 – 11, 2017 (Saturday – Saturday)

    Come join 44 of your fellow SSC friends for a week of skiing and fun at one of SSC’s favorite ski destinations! Vail offers 5,289 acres of ski terrain covering three different sections: the front side with a variety of runs for all abilities, the back bowls with 3,000 acres of open powder stretching 6 miles wide, and Blue Sky Basin with an abundance of naturally-gladed terrain. Vail has the largest network of express quad chairlifts in the world. The stats: base elevation 8,120 feet, peak 11,570 feet, average annual snowfall 346 inches, 33 lifts, and 193 trails (28% novice, 32% intermediate and 40% advanced).  Your lift ticket is also good at Beaver Creek. Ride the ECO transit bus to enjoy three distinct mountain areas (Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch and Arrowhead Village) that range from gentle, manicured slopes to open intermediate trails to steep bumps. The 1,815 total acres of terrain cater to skiers and riders of all abilities. Beaver Creek has fewer skiers, so it is easier to find powder late in the day. Buses run every half hour from 6 am to 2 am at a cost of $7 each way. Whichever mountain you prefer, all areas offer great skiing, great restaurants, shopping and alternative winter activities.

    We will stay at the newly refreshed Evergreen Lodge with a prime location in Vail Town Center located between Lionshead and Vail Village.

EU 'right to be forgotten': one year on

Today marks exactly one year since the European Union’s top court made the groundbreaking decision to give people the "right to be forgotten" online – and controversy over the issue shows no sign of abating.

On 13 May 2013, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that internet search engines must remove information deemed "inaccurate, inadequate, irrelevant or excessive" for the purposes of data processing, or face a fine.

The ruling came after a Spanish citizen took Google to the ECJ, because he wanted a newspaper article about his insolvency to be "forgotten" by Google and no longer listed on the search engine.

According to Dina Shiloh, a solicitor at Mishcon de Reya who specialises in media law, the decision last May demonstrated that Europeans have the right to control their own data and how it is processed.

"The decision showed that in Europe, privacy is not dead. Google can no longer argue that it is a neutral 'wall' with no responsibility to the content it links to," she said.

However, she admitted that the situation is far from simple. Even if removal requests are granted, those same articles are still available online, on the sites where they were originally published.

Furthermore, articles that have been 'forgotten' by Google in Europe can still be found by searching – where the US version of Google is hosted.

"The 'right to be forgotten' is not absolute," said Ms Shiloh. "It has to be balanced against other fundamental rights such as freedom of expression and of the media."

European regulators are calling for the 'right to be forgotten' ruling to apply to search engines worldwide, not just in Europe. However, this proposal has been met with fierce opposition.

Meanwhile, Ms Shiloh pointed out that the ECJ's decision that Google should not link to "inaccurate, inadequate, irrelevant or excessive" material is incredibly broad.

"We are still struggling to define those terms," she said. "In addition,anyone in the public eye may find it difficult to argue information about them is irrelevant – again, 'the public eye' is not an easy thing to define."

The Supreme Court’s decision essentially upholding the Affordable Care Act presents a challenge to Mitt Romney and others promising to “Repeal and Replace Obamacare.”  The question is: Replace it with what?

Missouri and the other states that have adopted the Health Care Compact have already answered that question.

The Health Care Compact returns authority over health care to the states. It is an interstate compact that requires congressional approval, and with that approval will come block grants to states at the same level of spending now exercised by the federal government.

States will be free to choose different solutions that best suit them. Massachusetts could require residents and businesses to purchase private insurance, while Vermont might opt for a single-payer program, and Texas could choose a market-based system. Indiana, South Carolina, Utah, Georgia, Texas, Missouri and Oklahoma have already adopted the Health Care Compact.

Returning health care spending and policy details to the states also solves a larger problem that has bedeviled the system. Our health care problems cannot be solved as long as decisions about them are made by politicians, bureaucrats—and yes, even Supreme Court justices—at the federal level in Washington, DC.

That’s because the most urgent problem is one of governance—the question of: “Who decides?” We must fix the governance problem of “who decides” before we can fix the policy problem of “what is decided.”

America faces an epic crisis of governance on the issue of health care. Congress has spent decades gradually grabbing power over most of the health care system, and it capped off their project with Obamacare.  No Congress can handle such responsibility well. There can be no centrally controlled health care system consistent with a free and independent American republic.

The ACA is a radical governance power grab breathtaking in cost and scope.  The law does not define what type of healthcare will be provided, but it does identify who will decide: federal bureaucrats.

The only effective counter to this is sweeping governance reform, returning authority over health care to the states as the Health Care Compact does.

The Health Care Compact differs from other alternatives being discussed. The Ryan Plan for Medicare and Medicaid reform— supported by key congressional leaders from both parties—is better than Obamacare but, is still based on the flawed notion that solutions to our problems are to be found at the federal level.  The Ryan Plan, like Obamacare, leaves Congress at the center of power.

America’s founders recognized dispersed authority and an engaged citizenry as the essential anchors of a free country. James Madison in Federalist No. 57 defended the new Constitution not by pointing to federal judges as guarantors of liberty, but by highlighting “above all the vigilant and manly spirit which actuates the people of America, a spirit which nourishes freedom, and in return is nourished by it.”

When Mitt Romney and others promise to replace Obamacare, they can also restore the Federalist foundations of our Republic.  Missouri already has approved a clear alternative to our centralized health care system - the Health Care Compact. It is the way to replace Obamacare while living up to our ancestors’ hopes and applying their traditional values of self-governance to modern America.

Representative Eric Burlison is a Republican representing the 136th District in Missouri.

Birds - Page Text Content

BC: Different Birds and How Their Systems Work | Birds have to have good reflexes to survive. They need these good reactions for getting away from predators and even just landing. A bird has these quick reactions from its brain and their sensitive hearing and seeing. Their senses have adapted to this from years of looking and listening for prey and generations of surviving. Birds reproduce by internal fertilization. Though the eggs they lay are similar to reptile eggs, they have harder shells to help the egg stay in tact. One of the parents prepares a nest for the young; then one of the parents has to keep the egg at a certain temperature for it to develop. In some species, parents take turns incubating the egg and in others, one parent incubates the egg. The parents have to incubate the egg until it hatches. This can be anywhere from 12 days to 80 days. The time for it to hatch depends on the size of the bird. Once the egg hatches, parents watch over the chick at until they can fly. There are 10,000 species of birds, making them the most diverse land dwelling vertebrates. This is because they have many adaptations for the environments they live in. Birds also have to have adaptations to fly, reproduce and care for their young. Birds are important for many reasons from entertainment to food. They also liven up everyday life. Birds provide food, feathers, some pollinate plants, some carry the seeds from plants away and drop them someplace else to start new plants and many birds also get rid of pests. The orders of birds are bee-eaters, ostriches, long-legged waders, woodpeckers, birds of prey, owls, and perching birds. Bee-eaters eat insects and keep the insect population down. Ostriches can't fly, but they can run fast to get away from predators. Long-legged waders have long legs which let them stand in water and catch prey. Woodpeckers peck trees with their beaks to find insects and other little animals to eat. Owls come out at night and hunt rodents. Birds of prey scour the sky and look for prey on the ground. Perching birds have the ability to perch on a branch naturally because of their feet.

FC: Hrithik Saride Derek Rizzi Lucas Rios | AN Epic Journey through the world of Birds

1: The Life of a Bird | A bird is an endothermic vertebrate that has feathers,a four-chambered heart, and lays eggs. They have 2 kinds of feathers. They have contour feathers and down feathers. Contour feathers give shape to the body and help it in flight. Down feathers keep a bird warm by trapping warm air on the bird's skin.Birds are toothless. All species have different bills for their different feeding habits. Birds use their digested food for energy, as they need energy to keep their body temperature constant. Birds have a system of air sacs connected to their lungs in their bodies. They allow the bird to get more oxygen from each breath.

2: There is an invisible ocean of air around all objects.Air is a mixture of gas molecules that exert pressure on the objects they surround. Moving air exerts less pressure than air that is not moving.The lower surface of a wing is flatter than the upper surface. The difference between the lower and upper wing enables flying creatures to fly.Faster air exerts less pressure than slow moving air. The air above the wing is has less pressure than the air under the wing. This difference in pressure causes the upward force known as lift. | Birds are some of the most magnificent creatures on Earth. Their unique structure is different from all other animals with different types of wings for their different specialization of flight. But the design of of their wings isn't the only component that enables the bird to fly. The bird must have some way of getting of the ground. The bird must move forward, since lift depends one air moving over its wings. When the pushes itself off the ground, its sharply pulls its wings down. This downstroke provides the needed lift needed for flying. | The Physics of Bird Flight

3: The Classification of Birds | Kingdom-Animalia Phylum-Chordata Sub-Phylum-Vertebrata Class-Aves Orders-Bee-eaters, ostriches, long-legged waders, woodpeckers, birds of prey, owls, and perching birds

4: The Biomes that Birds Live in | The class Aves (birds), live in a variety of biomes. Each bird that lives in a different biome has adaptations that help it survive more. Birds live in tropical rainforests, savannah, temperate rain forests, desert, deciduous forest biomes, taiga and tundra. Some birds also live in freshwater biomes and estuaries. Ducks and seagulls live in the water biomes. Ostriches live in some savannahs, a parrot is one type of bird that lives in a tropical rainforest, woodpeckers live in deciduous forest and taiga, and arctic loons live in the tundra.

5: The Reproduction of Birds | Birds are internally fertilized and lay eggs. Their eggs are like reptile eggs, other than the fact that they are harder. Birds will only develop near their parent's body. The eggs are incubated near the parent's body and are usually taken care of by only one parent. Birds take different amounts of time to hatch. A chick pecks its way out of the egg. Some newborns are very weak and feeble, while others can even run around straight out of the egg. The babies are usually fed by the parents until they can fly.

6: The Food Menu of Birds | Birds eat many different kinds of organisms from berries to fish. Many birds eat insects, but some birds even eat small vertebrates like rabbits and fish. Birds also eat the fruit of plants. Most of these seeds go right through their digestive system and start new plants.

7: Behaviors of Birds | Bee-eaters- Before they eat the prey, they sting the prey and drain their venom. Ostriches- The ostrich is one of the fastest animals in the world. Long-legged waders- Wait for their prey to come by being still. Woodpeckers- The woodpecker can bang trees with its beak to look for insects. Birds of prey- Stalk the sky until they see prey. Owls- An owl's head can turn up to 270 degrees in one direction. Perching birds- Their feet automatically lock onto branches.

8: The Symmetry of Birds | Birds are bilaterally symmetrical, which means that if cut them in half, the halves will be mirror images of each other.

9: The Era/Period of the Birds | The first birds appeared during the Jurassic Period of the Mesozoic Era. The name of the first bird is Archaeopteryx.

10: The food Web | The sun burns furiously as the mighty eagle glides down from the sky to grab its lunch, a python. Birds are one of the biggest predators in the food web. Although they may become prey, they are still one of the topmost predators. What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you talk about flying animals? Yup, it is birds. These creatures have wings which allow them to evade most predators and capture most prey their size.

11: The Genus Amazonetta | What makes this genus so great is that the Brazilian Teal(Amazonetta brasiliensis) is the bird animal in this specific genus. One of the main thing that catches your eye when you see this bird is its magnificent and vibrant colored wing. Their preferred habitat is a body of freshwater away from the coast with dense vegetation nearby.

Authors of Oxford

Authors of Oxford - Page Text Content

BC: DEPARTED | England | 29 July 2012 | All images were taken by Darla Grant or courtesy of Wimikedia Commons.

FC: Authors of Oxford 2012

1: Oxford | England | ARRIVED 22 July 2012 | is a city as well as a nationally acclaimed university. The university is home to many popular literature writers who were also students and professors.

2: What's more fun than reading literature? Sudying l | What's more fun than reading literature? Studying about literature where it was written and published! I studied the fantasy masters in Oxford during the summer of 2012. Keep reading to see what I learned.

4: Literature and the Fantastic | A study of Oxford authors

5: OXFORD AUTHORS include the poet W.H. Auden, T.S. Eliot, Philip Pullman, Percy Bysshe Shelley and many more. This historic location has provided the inspiration for some of the most loved books in history. The setting was a major factor for many authors.

7: down the rabbit hole | ALICE'S DOOR This charming door in the Dean's private garden at Christ Church College was the inspiration for famous door in Alice in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll, the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, lived and taught at the college. Alice is based on the dean's daughter, Alice Liddell. My literary group spent a morning reading essays written by Carroll regarding his work on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Then, we toured Christ Church college and other places in Oxford that served as inspiration for the book. Oxford is a magical place filled with secret doors. It's easy to see how Carroll found his story developing in this locale.

8: THE EAGLE & CHILD PUB | was the favorite location for meetings of the Inklings, the writing group that included both J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. They met frequently at the pub to read from the books they were currently writing. These included The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia. A visit to the pub helped me see the the creative process behind the immortal classics of Tolkien and Lewis. C.S. Lewis is famous for saying "No more bloody Elves!' in response to Tolkien's reading from LOTR. | Did you know that Tolkien didn't like Narnia? He thought it was an in-authentic setting.

9: The most famous fantasy books of all time were written in Oxford by authors who were not only friends but also worked together to create their stories.

10: I studied the location in which Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was written. This great and fantastical tale employs many strange settings within the novella. I saw Alice's door, the "Treacle" well, and the tree by the river that inspired the fall down the rabbit hole. | Studying the book's origins helped me to put the setting. into context. I teach this book to 8th grade English students each year. Now, I have a frame of reference for the action that takes place in the book. Many of Alice's crazy settings are merely dream versions of real places. I see how Carroll created his fantasy world based on the real, and my class can discuss reasons why the story becomes more fantastical. Here are some discussion questions I have in mind. Why would an author create fantasy locations? What purpose does that serve? Is the book less enjoyable for knowing it was based on a real place.

11: In Oxford, I also studied C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. These two great authors belonged to the same writing group in Oxford, where they would meet to read and critique each other's writing. This information is especially important to me when teaching their books because I can discuss the craft of writing and how the other writers of the time affected the writing of Tolkien and Lewis. Both authors have written essays justifying the choice of fantasy as a genre. Fantasy writing was a new prospect when they were writing, and they were criticized for writing about Narnia and MiddleEarth. Knowing that these authors took a risk on fantasy, makes the reading even more fantastical.

12: Studying literature in its place of birth provides the physical and historical context to enhance meaning.
