Supernatural Sneak Peek: How Will Dean be Judged in Episode 7.04?

Some Supernatural fans are wondering what direction the show will be heading in after the last episode’s somewhat surprising ending. If you watched it, you know that Sam was fully prepared to let the brain-eating monster Amy live, but Dean (without Sam’s knowledge) tracked her down and killed her, convinced that she would become a threat to people at some point in the future (read more about this in our review).

Given everything that’s happened to the Winchesters lately – as well as some of Dean’s recent choices – it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the October 14 episode of Supernatural will be heavily focused on Dean’s guilt. The eldest Winchester has a habit of burying his feelings, but this week’s episode will force him to face them. The brothers will be investigating a series of murders and soon learn that the victims were all being judged (and found guilty) by the Egyptian god Osiris. Osiris has a fondness for latching onto people who feel guilty. Who does that sound like? If you guesed ‘Dean’, you would be correct.

Osiris hones in on Dean and puts him on trial for his life. Sam steps up to defend his brother, but how will the boys – Dean in particular – deal when Osiris summons Jo’s ghost as a witness?

Below is a sneak peek for the October 14 episode of Supernatural. View photos for the episode here and a trailer here.

Aug 30, 2013  •  Post A Comment

The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences next month will bestow its Governors Award on the woman who voiced Rocky the Flying Squirrel on "The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show."

The Los Angeles Times’ Show Tracker reports that the honor will go to June Foray. Foray, 95, will receive the award at the academy’s Creative Arts Emmys ceremony Sept. 15, the story notes.

Foray has voiced iconic TV characters including Rocky and his enemy Natasha Fatale, as well as the sweet Granny, who owned Sylvester and Tweety Bird, in the classic "Looney Tunes" cartoons. Her voices also include Witch Hazel, who always tried to capture Bugs Bunny, and Cindy Lou Who from the TV special "Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

TV is in the midst of revolutionary change.

By Dan Criscenti

Revolutionary change is everywhere in TV land.  Programming. Storytelling. Distribution. Advertising. Viewing. The ability to interact with television like never before. It's all in the midst of a seismic shift.

Driving the change is a confluence of new technologies and old business models.

Today, people can stream shows, movies and sports on multiple devices. Or download shows and take them wherever they go. Fans can converse with cast members, writers and each other through social media, and select and make requests for products they see on TV.

The industry, and entrepreneurs around it, are experimenting with new storytelling techniques, distribution options and business models that are creating wonderful opportunities (and a few pains, like the dispute between Time Warner Cable and CBS) for TV fans. It's disrupting the conventional concepts of television.

In fact, it isn't fitting to call it TV anymore. Fewer of us are huddled in front of "the tube" in Norman Rockwell-like scenes with our nuclear families. Instead, or in addition to, we're there with smart phones, tablets and remote-control "wands" that are opening up a new world of video entertainment -- like magic.  Or we're not sitting there at all; we're taking our entertainment with us.

"All these options have changed how young people—the audience of the future—are watching TV," wrote Ken Auletta in The New Yorker. "A 2010 study from the Kaiser Family Foundation found that in 2009 eight- to eighteen-year-olds spent an average of two hours and thirty-nine minutes a day in front of a TV set, down from more than three hours in 2004, as they’ve replaced traditional TV with DVDs, video on demand, and programs watched on computer screens or cell phones, among other platforms."

We've found that it isn't just young people.  The fastest segment of social media adoption is among the boomer generation. And boomers are investing heavily in new technologies, from smart TVs to tablets.  The fact is, people of every age, gender and location are experimenting with, or changing altogether, the ways in which they consume video entertainment.

It's anyone's guess as to where these changing are leading us in the coming months and years, but it is clear that TV is changing every day.  The winners in this disruptive milieu will be those whose listen closely to consumers' desires and are strong, nimble and quick enough to meet them.

These are early days of the revolution, and it's as fascinating and fast-paced to watch as an Aaron Sorkin show.  The revolution is underway.  All hail it's new leader -- you!

OSX 10.6 to have "Defender" Like Malware detection

Is Apple copying MS again?
By: Sean Kalinich | Software News | Posted: Aug 26, 2009 2:12 pm

In the latest ads from Apple we see the usual argument that PCs are virus laden and crash continuously. The ads seem to indicate (all without saying it of course) that Macs are immune to crashes and Viruses.

Well if this is the case then what should we make of the latest news about Snow Leopard?

According to a few sites on the Internet the newest flavor of OSX includes a built in Malware detection system. This is interesting on a couple of fronts. The most obvious is that it shows that Macs are not immune to viruses. This belies the advertisements that say they are.

But on another front it is a 2nd case of Apple actually Following Microsoft. Yes I said Apple copying Microsoft; and for a second time.

The first is in moving to a 64 bit OS, this one is in including a Malware detection system. Ever since Windows Vista MS has had Windows Defender. It is a built in Malware detection and removal system. Now it seems that Apple has thought that is a pretty good idea and dropped one into Snow Leopard.

I wonder what will be next

OSX 10.6 to have

Weather station

An interactive weather station data from the 16th century

During 15 years, Tycho Brahe and his assistants kept a meteorological diary in Ven. The purpose was to investigate if there was any connection between earthly and sky weather conditions. We want to continue the tradition and spread the knowledge of these early meteorological inputs. Therefore, there is an interactive weather station behind the southwestern wall of the museum area.

Here you can, in six different ways, measure weather and compare your observations with Tycho’s own and other visitors. You can measure wind direction, humidity, temperature, precipitation, and atmospheric pressure. Your observations can then be sent in an email, and you can learn more about different methods of measurement for the weather. The first observation was made by Crown Princess Victoria in conjunction with the opening of the new exhibition in the church in 2005.

Moody's upgrades UA's bond-rating outlook

University President Luis Proenza and David Cummins, the vice president for finance and administration, sent a memo to faculty and staff today explaining Moody's actions:

Dear Colleagues,

We end the year with some good news from the investors service, Moody’s, which has affirmed the A1 rating on our bonds, while upgrading our outlook from “negative” to “stable.” Comments from Moody’s in its investor report include recognition of our:

  • Multi-year improvement in operating performance
  • Strong reputation in STEM fields of study and research
  • Large enrollment base driven by strength in engineering, research, health science, nursing and the honors college
  • Healthy cash flow margin in spite of reduced state funding
  • Conservative debt structure

Moody’s acknowledged the challenges and pressures facing our university and higher education, in general, as we all cope with state funding cutbacks, implementation of a funding formula tied to higher retention and graduation rates, and a statewide reduction in the number of high school graduates, creating a more competitive environment.

Moody’s also commented on the challenges we face here at The University of Akron due to our significant level of debt, or a “highly leveraged balance sheet” as we have borrowed to fund our campus expansion and the significant improvements that have made us such an attractive urban campus.

While noting that a drop in enrollment this past year presents financial challenges, Moody’s also comments on efforts to attract more prepared students and provide more degree options to non-traditional students (through weekend and evening courses, for example).

It is gratifying that this respected voice in the investor community recognizes our efforts during the last year to meet increasing financial challenges, strengthen our competitive position by responding to market demands and maintain our prominence among public research universities.

Separately, Cummins was quoted in Crain's Cleveland Business about the upgrade:

“It comes down to how well we can manage through the challenges we're currently facing," Cummins said. “I'm encouraged at a time like this that they'd change (our outlook). It's a point of pride for us.”

[CES 2013] The introduction of Windows 8 certainly brought along with it a slew of notebooks and Ultrabooks that is equipped with touchscreen functionality, so it comes across as no surprise to see Lenovo introduce an “upgrade” to their Lenovo IdeaPad range, where we will focus on the IdeaPad U310 Touch and IdeaPad U410 Touch. Both these models have been specially optimize for Windows 8’s multi-touch capability, and will come with a host of other multimedia-friendly features such as Dolby Home Theater v4 certified audio, a high definition 720p webcam, a ‘Palm Proof’ intelligent touchpad, USB 3.0 and HDMI connectivity.

Donning an extremely slim and ultra-portable book-shaped design, you will find that regardless of which model you choose, it will come in an ultra-stylish full color aluminum outer shell with a solitary vent on the D-cover. The Lenovo IdeaPad U310/U401 Touch will come in a playful choice of colors, and it will not fall short on the processing front with a 3rd generation Intel Core processor underneath the hood. The U310 Touch and U410 Touch will feature a 13.3″ and 14″ HD LED display, respectively.

Google Drive Launched, Linux Desktop Client in Works

Much awaited cloud storage service Google Drive is now live giving free 5 GB storage to every subscriber.

The service can be accessed at drive.google.com, though currently it is 'Not Ready' for me. Google Drive supports over 30 types of files and the storage can be upgraded to a maximum of 16TB.

While Drive has clients for Windows, Mac and Android, no Linux desktop client has been made available at launch.

Linux users raised their voice on this and after observing a massive demand for it, Google employees finally said that they are working on a Linux client on official Google Drive Forums.

Here, another confirmation straight from Google Drive Community Manager. So, yes there will be a Linux client and it should be available soon for testing.

Why study this programme?

Have you ever wondered: Why are some people more creative than others? What influences encourage creativity? Is it possible to teach creativity? This type of questioning drives the curiosity behind the MA in Creative Thinking. The course is intended for aspiring researchers who want to develop a specialised interest in Creative Thinking without the necessity of on-campus attendance. Ultimately, the MA is about creating postgraduates who can interrogate, and eventually add to, research on Creative Thinking (we’re particularly interested in research related to the Creative Industries). If that’s your aspiration also, then read on.

Entry Requirements

Applicants must demonstrate achievement of any one of the following:

  • Receipt of a 2.2 degree, or higher from a British university
  • A high level of achievement in undergraduate studies at a university elsewhere, eg for North American students a minimum overall GPA of 3.3 on a 4.0 scale
  • Professional experience in the field or a related field in their home country

Part of the application procedures for entry to the course is to establish - through a written personal statement - why candidates want to do the course, and how this relates to their personal and career development plans.

International Students are required to show competence in written and spoken English in addition to meeting the course entry requirements: International English Language Testing Service (IELTS) - minimum 7.5.

Programme at a Glance

The first module introduces you to Creative Thinking literature, seminal works in the area, and the techniques of e-learning used by the course. This module develops the skills of reporting on, and enhancing your understanding of, major developments within creativity research to gives you a broad overview of Creative Thinking.

The next module examines key aspects and issues found in Creative Thinking. Moreover, the impact of research methodology on the validity and reliability of research findings is also explored in this module. This culminates in a critical look at a specialised aspect of Creative Thinking, where you begin to argue for, and comment on, the merits and weakness of different schools of thought on a specialised aspect of Creative Thinking: for example, methods for the assessment creative thinking.

The final group of modules develops your own specialised field and interest. This is the Dissertation Project in Creative Thinking. Here you will have the opportunity to undertake a sustained investigation into a clearly identified area of interest relevant to your own interest in Creative Thinking.

Further Information

With any field of study, some ideas/theories/practices achieve notoriety more on being fashionable rather than through academic credibility. Certainly, this is the case with such a wonderful area of enquiry as Creative Thinking. The only way to navigate through such confusing information is to become informed on the topic. This is fundamentally what the MA in Creative Thinking aims to help you achieve: informed understanding on Creative Thinking.

The distance learning MA Creative Thinking has been an invaluable experience. The course fits seamlessly into my workplace, allowing me to develop a greater understanding of skills which are completely relevant to working within the Creative Industries. It's inspired me to look at working practices and live client projects with fresh eyes, which is always beneficial.

Furthermore, a significant difference between good quality research and poor quality research is in relation to research methodology. For this reason, the course gives you the opportunity to cover a broad range of methodologies and practices which belong within established areas of creativity research, in addition to exploring their theoretical and epistemological groundings.

Learning Environment and Assessment

The MA Creative Thinking has been specifically designed to accommodate the needs of part-time provision via distance learning. Students tend to be adults in employment who want to take the course on a part-time basis to fit around their other working commitments. We accommodate such needs by offering a clear structure of progression, balanced by flexible personal tutorials: for which you can expect to have weekly one-to-one contact with academic staff via web based visual conferencing. It is this bespoke interaction with academic staff that our students tell us they find both supportive and inspirational. Our postgraduate distance learning students come from a wide diversity of nationalities and locations: America, Canada, England, Germany, Greece, Scotland, and South Africa, to name a few.

Assessment is by 100% coursework in the form of concise project reports or academic papers. For each of the 40 credit modules you undertake, you will have both a mid-module assignment and an end of module assignment to complete. Through weekly tutorials you will receive ongoing formative feedback and guidance, but the final module mark and summative feedback is based on the end of module assignment only.

The MA Creative Thinking has given me the opportunity to further develop my research and analysis skills which has been directly beneficial to my working life. Although the first year provided a great foundation, it’s been fantastic to be able to delve deeper into a chosen area for the dissertation.

The course structure offers specific career progression through enabling individuals to apply themselves to one of three routes: academic publication, research funding, or research project management; some will take the course as an intermediate step towards securing a higher research degree, such as a PhD, or building their progression toward an academic post; others, due to their interests, may want to build skills on project funding; those who want to gain first-hand experience of research project management will be able to undertake a pilot project within a specialist area of creative thinking.

Bitcoin’s Eastern Future

Simon Black’s comparison of US (official) and East Asian attitudes to Bitcoin speaks for itself:

Places like Hong Kong and Singapore understand that they have a role to play as preeminent international financial centers in becoming financial hubs for digital currencies.

If the US wants to shoot itself in the foot (again) and shut itself out of the market, so be it. But Asia is embracing its potential role in the marketplace, complete with all the risks and rewards.

It wasn’t but a few weeks ago that a Hong Kong-based bitcoin exchange ran off with a few million dollars of customer money. But that hasn’t cooled demand in the region… nor has it sparked a wave of debilitating regulations to clamp down on digital currencies.

What this ultimately means is that all the new businesses and intellectual capital associated with digital currencies will flock to Asia… just in the same way that all the cutting edge precious metals firms are now basing themselves in Singapore.

ADDED: “The U.S. government believes that some scary people are using bitcoin. But here’s another scary prospect: If the government goes overboard with a hard-line approach on bitcoin and other emerging digital currencies, it may merely push them overseas, where they will surely flourish outside of its control.”

Confused Westerners, wondering how the Xi-Li leadership’s quasi-Maoist political initiatives square with its commitment to economic reform, will find their quandaries resolved by Zachary Keck’s excellent analysis in The Diplomat. Regardless of liberal assumptions to the contrary, enforcing Central Party discipline on China’s regional fiefdoms is tightly aligned with the reform agenda. (Realism in this regard is advanced by the acknowledgement that authoritarian liberalization is the only kind there has ever been, anywhere.)

Xi and the central Party’s authority over local leaders will go a long way toward determining the scope and extent of the economic reforms China undertakes in the years ahead. Xi and Li have both made it clear that they understand the nature of reforms China needs to sustain growth. Their ability to act on this understanding is a different matter entirely. Although they will face stiff resistance from many segments of society, local leaders are notable in that they are involved in nearly every major area of reform. […] Thus, overcoming local government resistance will be a crucial part of Xi’s ability to undertake the necessary economic reforms. Xi and the central leadership seem to understand this given their year-long effort to consolidate their control over provincial and other local leaders.

(The entire article is excellent — read it all.)

At Project Syndicate, Andrew Sheng and Xiao Geng provide a brief commentary on China’s economic policy outlook:

At the Third Plenum of the 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, currently under way in Beijing, President Xi Jinping is unveiling China’s reform blueprint for the next decade. In advance of its release, the Development Research Center of the State Council, China’s official think tank, presented its own reform proposal – the so-called “383 plan” – which offers a glimpse of the direction that the reforms will take.

Despite a keen sense of the obstacles ahead, the writers are clearly impressed:

But the kind of deep and comprehensive reforms that China needs are always difficult to implement, given that they necessarily affect vested interests. In order to win public support for reforms, thereby maximizing the chances of success, the government must offer clear, accessible explanations of its goals. … The Research Center takes a holistic approach to the reform process, viewing it as both a systemic change and a change of mindset. Translating its proposals – which are as profound as Deng Xiaoping’s 1978 reforms – into simple, straightforward terms is no easy feat, but one that the 383 plan handles with relative deftness.

Gardens of Time (Part 1)

It might be presumptuous to assume there is any such thing as the Idea of cultivation. The absence of any such idea (a deficiency that is immediately stimulative) could readily be imagined as the condition that makes cultivation necessary.

When the search for a conclusive concept is abandoned, the cultural task of the garden — in its loftiest (Jiangnan) expression — begins to be understood. No less that the acknowledged fine arts of East or West, the Suzhou garden merits appreciation as a philosophical ‘statement’ in which aesthetic achievement is inextricable from a profound apprehension of reality. Perhaps, then, no short-cut or summary seeking to economize on the creation and preservation of the garden itself could possibly arrive at the same ‘place’, or — even with the most restricted sense of cognitive purchase — discover the same things.

The Decopunk Delta

As this blog spirals around to its re-starting point, it fetches back the tasks it has yet to advance upon, including the most basic (announced in its sub-title). Why the ‘Decopunk Delta’? Mostly because that’s where time frays.

+ Golden Age Shanghai is unsettled business, and as things surge forward, they turn back.
+ Art Deco is the world’s lost modernity, as everyone senses, without quite knowing how.
+ Art Deco escaped its time, at the time. It is the pre-eminent time-travel relic of the earth.
+ What Art Deco communicates is vivid, yet still unverbalized.
+ Art Deco fascinates again, today, because it is obscurely recognized as the key to the encrypted meaning of world history, and nowhere is this more insistently hinted than in re-opened Shanghai.

– The ‘-punk’ suffix is pulp-code for any cultural time-travel tool undergoing contemporary development.

Building a career and a bridge in Iraq

Wednesday, December 19, 2012

The Gatton College Graham Office of Career Management is working to transform traditional thinking among Iraqi business students into an edgy, competitive, capitalistic and Westernized mindset, says Career Coach Meredith Boyd. This October, she traveled to support efforts for a new career center at Kufa University in Najaf, Iraq.

“They’re changing into a free market economy, and it’s a slow process. I’m taking specific Western style programming to them in hopes to replicate that in Iraq,” she says.

The University Kentucky is entering year-three of its participation in the Iraq University Linkages Program, Boyd says. According to the Iraq ULP, years of conflict, preceded by decades of nepotism, thwarted the progress of Iraqi universities. Between 2003 and 2010, insurgent groups in Iraq targeted and threatened academics, forcing many to flee. Those who stayed behind were isolated. Among scholars in Iraq today, isolation is one of their deepest concerns, the Iraq ULP says. As a result, Iraqi students are impeded in succeeding globally.

The U.S. Embassy, Baghdad funds the multi-million-dollar Iraq ULP, and a global human development organization called FHI 360 administers it. The program was planned in consultation with the Iraqi Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research. It facilitates long-term, bilateral partnerships between U.S. and Iraqi universities, including the development of career centers at Iraqi universities to forge relationships between the public, private and academic sectors. Ultimately, these partnerships are intended to be self-sustaining – capable of producing enduring change, Boyd says.

So the Iraq ULP addresses the needs of Iraqi universities – strengthening their teaching, learning and career development. At the same time, the program allows scholars and academics to resume the prominent roles that they lost, Boyd says. This in turn promotes reconstruction and long-term stability for Iraq.

UK’s participation in Iraq ULP began in July 2010, following a conference in Baghdad attended by faculty members from both UK and Kufa. Boyd’s trip in October was for a workshop held in Erbil, which is in the Kurdish Region. She covered key activities associated with Western-style career centers – everything from offering tips on interviewing skills, to marketing and promoting a career center, to how to create internship programs. Boyd’s presentation was styled so that Iraqis were given questions or scenarios to figure out for themselves. Career center directors and staff from the various institutions in Iraq attended the five-day event.

“This is helping them improve their perspective of working with Westerners and Americans. It’ll change their lives and how they view world politics. I’m most excited about being involved in higher education and rebuilding it in Iraq. The tool that will help citizens and government in Iraq effectively is to teach students how to react and participate in an emerging free market economy,” Boyd says.

One portion of the Iraq ULP included training Iraqi undergraduate students in the intensive Summer English Language Study program. The students were at UK for six weeks, Boyd says.

“The students were great! They provided interesting feedback about how a career center could help them in the future…realizing their changing economy is a slow process. But they are optimistic about Iraq’s future economy and job market,” she says, adding that higher education in Iraq is very different from the American system. “For example, students are tested upon completion and high school and then ranked according to test score. Their university track is determined for them based on testing. Those with highest test scores are placed in medical and science-related fields of study,” she says.

They also expressed that nepotism has largely governed business thinking in Iraq – until now.

“If you ask the potential employers that interest them, they reply that it doesn’t matter the name of the company, because three to four companies are ultimately run by one person in the government. That’s what they’re changing from,” Boyd explains. She adds that as more Western companies infiltrate Iraq, like Apple and Microsoft, the focus is shifting.

“Industries – for example, in petroleum, oil and gas – are coming in with great opportunities. The students were really excited to be at UK and loved the other students and professors and loved doing things on campuses,” Boyd says.

Five Iraqi universities and five U.S. universities participate in the Iraq ULP. They are focusing on: curriculum review, providing online courses and real-time digital video conference instruction, creating career development centers and also include highly selective faculty and student exchanges, Boyd adds. Collaborations focus on petroleum sciences, English, education, engineering, computer sciences and business (among other fields).

Kufa University is UK’s partner. The others are: the University of Basra with Oklahoma State University; the University of Salahdin in Erbil with the University of Cincinnati; the University of Tikrit with Ball State University; and the University of Baghdad with Cleveland State University.

For her part, Boyd is particularly excited about launching career centers at Iraqi universities. She’s excited that UK is moving the way of thinking from the nepotism point of view to an equal opportunity outlook.

“The development of career centers will empower students and provide them the tools and resources necessary to successfully respond to their new economy and democratic society. For me, this idea parallels how I define the overall goals of higher education: preparing citizens that are equipped to adjust, and readjust, to society’s constantly changing circumstances; and citizens who value the connection between diversity, democracy and global learning,” Boyd says.

“Global learning is truly transformational. The interconnectedness and multiple perspectives it provides prepares students to be responsible, productive citizens who value democracy, equity, justice and peace.”

Fast Cash Loans

Fast Cash LoansIf you’ve recently been faced with a challenging financial situation, and you simply do not have enough money to cover the problem – then you may need to take out fast cash loans. Fortunately, these loans have never been easier to obtain, and you can often receive the money you need within just 24 hours.

In this guide, we’re going to take a closer look some the key features of these loans, so you’ll be able to decide if they are right for you.

To begin with, it’s safe to say that fast cash loans have never been quicker to obtain – and in most cases you’ll be able to receive the money the very same day. There’s also a wide variety of lenders available online, and they can make the process very easy indeed, merely require you to answer a few questions before you are given an answer to your application.

So what kind of money can you receive from fast cash loans? In general, the loans can vary anywhere between $100 to $2000 – but the amount you will be able to obtain may vary depending on your overall monthly earnings.

What’s more, these loans can be either secured or unsecured, so you will have the option of either loan type. An unsecured loan will usually have a much higher interest rate, but you can benefit from the fact that you do not have to secure the loan with any collateral.

You can obviously receive a lower interest rate by using a secured loan, but it’s important to bear in mind that due to the additional processing, it can take longer for the loan to be approved. So if you’re in a hurry to get the money as soon as possible, taking out an unsecured loan may be the best option, just as long as you can guarantee that you will be able to pay off the loan on your next payday – which ultimately means you will not need to pay a significant interest rate anyway.

So what are the drawbacks to taking out fast cash loans?

Overall, there are far more positives than negatives – just as long as you have the money to pay them off in time. However, the biggest drawback is that you can get caught in a vicious cycle of debt which is hard to get out of due to the high-interest rates and potential fines that may be associated with late payment. For this reason, it’s very important to ensure you will be at pay off your loan on time.

• "With an Ultimate Kiosk Hearing Screening Solution we have seen a positive increase in the number of qualified appointments come through our clinic. This unit is a great addition to our marketing vehicles and potential patients seem very interested to try it."
    Michael Ioannidis, Hearing Solutions

Hearing Health Awareness Program (HHAP)

An Introduction

 The Hearing Health Awareness Program (HHAP) represents a collaboration among health care professionals and organizations concerned about the rise of untreated hearing health problems among a wide cross section of the public. There are several reasons for this trend including lack of consumer knowledge and access, the stigma associated when hearing loss is equated to “growing old” as well as the manner in which various providers have historically addressed the issue.

A touch screen kiosk, usually situated in the waiting room (family physician office), near the prescription desk (pharmacy) or within sight of the receptionist (optical store) is central to the program. Patients or customers are thereby equipped to test themselves and receive information about their results and calls to action about the next steps warranted. The hearing triage approach driven by the best in class software indicates cases where treatment may be effective as well as cases where referral for hearing aid evaluation is appropriate. A baseline is also established for review with each patient and retention for further reference.

The interpreted test provided by the kiosk when combined with an inspection of the ear and a short history is usually a billable procedure for physicians. Alternative revenue models are used for pharmacy and optical locations.

Each location is paired with a hearing health professional who serves as the exclusive referral source. Coaching combined with a frequent call program as well as effective monitoring and reporting results in virtuous circle of benefits– a platform for enabling the public to learn about their hearing function, providing advertising and a steady flow of qualified leads for the partner, resulting in more patients and hearing instrument sales as well as new sources of recurrent revenues for the location and Ultimate Kiosk.
HHAP has been referred to as “the most important innovation in hearing health in the last 20 years”. The program is now fully prototyped and expanding. To learn more please click on a related link:

Diabetes and Hearing Loss

Dec 20th, 2016

Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and hearing loss are health risks each of us face. As we are all aware, those risks increase with every year we manage to stay alive.

Fort Belknap Reservation
Historical Marker on Hwy 2 & Rte 66, east of Harlem.

Fort Belknap Reservation was established in 1888 when the Gros Ventres, Blackfeet, and River Crows ceded to the government 17,500,000 acres of their joint reservation that had covered all of northern Montana east of the Rocky Mountains. Home for the Gros Ventres and Assiniboines, who had shared hunting rights on the reservation, it was named for Wm. W. Belknap, secretary of war under President U. S. Grant.

The Gros Ventres (French for "big belly" and pronounced "Grow Von") got the name courtesy of the early French fur trappers. Also known as Atsina, the tribe’s own name for themselves is Aa’ninin or "White Clay People." Always a small tribe, they lived in the Red River Valley, North Dakota, from about 1100 to 1400 A.D., then moved west, splitting into two tribes around 1730. One group moved southwest and became the Arapaho, the other northwest, ending up in Montana by the early 1800s. They were close allies to the Blackfeet.

Tradition credits the Assiniboine tribe as separating from the Yanktonai Sioux in the early 1600s. Two of the first ladies of the tribe, wives of leaders, quarreled over an epicurean delicacy, viz. a buffalo heart. The gentlemen chipped in and the tribe split. One faction headed west and became known as the Assiniboine. They call themselves Nakota, meaning "The Peaceful Ones" When the reservation was created, part of the tribe enrolled here and the remainder at Fort Peck, about 180 miles to the east.

Excerpted from "The Ultimate Montana Atlas and Travel Encyclopedia".

Like many of the railroad towns along the Hi Line, Gildford was named for a city in another part of the world, in this case, the town of Gildford in England. A mile from today’s town site, trappers wintered at Sage Creek Crossing where there was good feed and water for their horses. When the waters of Sage Creek rose with the spring thaw, they would load their furs on crude rafts and float them to Fort Benton. During the hard days of poor crops and low grain prices, G. Fred Mundy built a flour mill here. He found grain for the impoverished homesteaders and gave them cereal to eat and feed for their animals. The mill is a landmark today and Gildford’s primary industry is as a marketing town for Northern Plains farmers who produce excellent quality hard spring wheat.

Lockheed Martin Partnership Suite Opens

Lockheed Martin Partnership Suite Opens

The Lockheed Martin Partnership Suite has opened on the second floor of the Jeong H. Kim Engineering Building (Room 2203).

The suite, which includes a sitting area, two offices and a conference room that can seat 10, is an offshoot of the strategic relationship between Lockheed Martin and UMD. Lockheed Martin employees visiting campus are encouraged to use the suite to hold meetings and host recruitment events.

The space has been branded with Lockheed Martin ads, displays and videos as well as posters depicting the company's involvement with UMD over the past six decades.

There are several other parts of the Clark School that connect UMD with Lockheed Martin, including Glenn L. Martin Hall, the Glenn L. Martin Wind Tunnel and the Lockheed Martin Lounge (also on the second floor of the Kim Building). A bronze bust of Glenn L. Martin is housed in the main lobby of Martin Hall. A plaque in honor of Glenn L. Martin is installed in the Innovation Hall of Fame in the Kim Building.

Comments [None]This was our 5th trip to matangi island-it is like going home.The resort has 12 bures plus the owners 2 bd villa. A new dining area and pool will open any day. If you want nitelife this is not the place for you! If you want a relaxing vacation,in gorgous surrondings with excellent diving ,then I'd suggest you look at Matangi. They offer a 2 tank dive every morning. The boat is a 30 footer outboard(25-30 kts)sidebenches with a dive ladder. Most dive sites are from 5 -25 minutes from the resort. Interval are either on the boat or nearby beach with tea cookies etc. I've never seen another dive boat except when we went to Somo Somo . This trip costs extra and takes about 1 hour. Diving here depends on the tides-which can be extremely strong.

Palestinian's month-long airport limbo has happy ending

Refugee was forced to spend weeks shuttling between terminals in Moscow, Khartoum, Dubai and Havana after a series of countries all refused to admit him.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has helped reunite a Palestinian refugee with his wife in Austria after he spent more than a month shuttling between countries that all refused to admit him.

In a story reminiscent of the 2004 Tom Hanks film “The Terminal,” 27-year-old Wissam was forced to spend hours in limbo at airports as he tried unsuccessfully to gain admission to a series of countries.

“I didn’t believe I would see my parents again,” said a tearful Wissam. “I thought I would spend the rest of my life being deported from airport to airport, or end up forgotten in a detention center.”

“I thought I would spend the rest of my life being deported from airport to airport.”

Born in the Syrian city of Dara'a to a family of Palestinian refugees, he has no passport and holds only Syrian travel documents, which means no country will admit him without an entry visa issued in advance.

In 2008, he left Syria to study electrical engineering in Belarus. During a home visit in 2010 to see his family, Wissam met his future wife, Waed. But their love story would have to wait. He returned to Belarus to finish his studies, and a year later, war broke out in Syria.

As the fighting intensified, Waed and her family fled their home in Damascus, along with another 110,000 Palestinian refugees. After reaching Turkey, they crossed the Mediterranean to Greece and eventually arrived in Austria.

Wissam’s student visa expired and he was keen to be reunited with his wife. He crossed the border into Russia in 2015 in search of employment. However, he was detained by the police and accused of living in the country illegally.

He was held for three months then deported to Sudan. However, on arrival in Khartoum, he was refused entry, and was flown back to Dubai on the same plane.

He was increasingly desperate for permission to enter a country, any country.

“I felt like the whole world is closed in front of me,” he said.

While he waited at Dubai airport, his father, who lives in the United Arab Emirates, obtained a visa for Wissam to go to Cuba. He immediately bought a ticket to Havana, but was again denied entry because of his status, and was deported back to Dubai via Moscow.

Once again sitting in Dubai airport, he seemed to have no hope of obtaining shelter in any country. It seemed his only option was to return to a war-ravaged Syria, where his life could be at risk.

In principle, Wissam falls under the mandate of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which serves more than five million Palestinian refugees in Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, West Bank and Gaza. However, since he was outside those countries and in need for international protection, he falls under the mandate of UNHCR as the “guardian” of the 1951 Refugee Convention

"Finally we are together. I feel like I have been born again."

When UNHCR officers learned of Wissam’s story, they asked the UAE authorities to allow him to stay under the care of his father, while a solution was sought. The agency requested the Austrian embassy in Abu Dhabi to grant him a visa to join his wife.

“The UAE played an important humanitarian role, and allowed Wissam and UNHCR breathing space to find a solution that brought an end to Wissam’s ordeal,” said Toby Harward, the head of the UNHCR office in Abu Dhabi,

Now safely in Austria, Wissam can begin his new life with his wife and after three years can become an Austrian citizen.

“Finally we are together. I feel like I have been born again,” he said. “I cannot wait to receive my new passport. My dream now is to travel without being stopped at any airport.”

Two arrested in separate gun incidents at Manchester clubs

MANCHESTER - Police arrested two men in separate gun-related incidents downtown within a two-hour period.

Felipe Olinger, 29, of 485 Dubuque St. was charged with felony criminal threatening and reckless conduct in connection with an incident that occurred last week.

According to Sgt. Craig Rousseau, Olinger had been involved in a confrontation at the Social 24 club on Depot Street on Feb. 23. When a security guard attempted to remove him from the premises, Rousseau said, "he is alleged to have removed a small semiautomatic pistol from underneath his shirt and pointed it in the direction of the club employee."

Employees removed the man from the club, and he allegedly threatened "to come back and do some damage to the building with his gun," Rousseau said. The employees reported the incident to police.

Just before 11 p.m. on Friday, a police officer working a security detail at Drynk nightclub, 20 Old Granite St., noticed Olinger and called for backup, police said. He was arrested without incident.

Olinger was being held at Valley Street Jail on $10,000 cash or surety bail, pending arraignment on Monday.

About 12:40 a.m. on Saturday, Timothy O'Regan, 21, of 141 Second St. was charged with carrying a concealed firearm without a permit and drug possession, according to police.

Rousseau said a police officer in the area of 50 Old Granite Street noticed a group of about six men arguing and shoving each other. When the officer approached the group, O'Regan continued yelling at the others, he said.

"The officer began patting him down for weapons for his safety and everybody else's safety and found a handgun in his waistband," Rousseau said.

Police said they confirmed O'Regan did not have a permit, and he was arrested.

After his arrest, he was searched and police found a baggie of white powder in his coat, believed to be cocaine, Rousseau said.

O'Regan was charged with possession of a controlled narcotic in addition to the gun charge. He was released on $1,000 cash or surety bail.

Industrial Dance

Industrial is the main term for an aggressive type of dance music powered by heavily distorted drums, synthesizers and guitars.  The music has split into smaller sub-genres like industrial-rock, industrial-metal, dark electro.  Famous bands making Industrial dancel music include Skinny Puppy, Front 242, Nine Inch Nails and Ministry.

Because the music is so dramatic and intense, Industrial dance is popular with certain game genres evoking post-apocalyptic landscapes and societal destruction.

Easy Steps to Create Wealth Online

Friday, January 14th, 2011

A number of people today are making money on the Internet; so many in fact that it makes creating wealth online seem like child’s play. However, if you do not take the time to learn and follow the proper steps to create wealth online, then you are sure to fail.

The main quality of successful, wealthy people is their ability to be proactive and know when to take action. In order to create wealth online, you need to be able to foresee things and think ahead. You must know the risks by educating yourself to the highest degree in whichever money making venture that you choose to pursue.

Another quality that successful people possess is the ability to be relentless in achieving their goals. No matter how brilliant an idea you have, you will never be successful if you do not act upon it and see it through to the end. Procrastination is your worst enemy when it comes to making money online.

A common practice among online entrepreneurs is spread their wealth creation plan over the Internet through a number of different income streams. Do not stop with a single service or product if you want to create online wealth. Once your initial idea takes off, it is time to move on to the next one. Do not leave any gaps in your online wealth creation plan and be relentless in your pursuit of wealth.

Look for the niches and concepts that have the highest potential for creating online wealth. It is important to realize that not all niches are created equally. Some will work incredibly well, while others will fail to achieve the desired returns. Start of by casting a wide net and narrowing down your plan to the ideas and niches that will bring you the greatest profit for the least amount of work on your part.

A number of different ways exist to make money online. Some people choose to first start a small business and then create a website for that business. Others turn websites into their business through Internet marketing, website design, etc. Find what works for you and work it!

Making Money Does Not Have To Cost a Thing

As you search online, you will discover that there are a number of online jobs available. As a matter of fact, there are quite a few ways to make money online that does not cost you a thing to get started.

However, many people feel the opportunities advertised are so ambitious and promising that it turns them away. The truth is that there are some malicious scam artists out there who want nothing more than to take advantage of your desire for wealth creation. Keep in mind that you do not need to purchase any special secrets to creating wealth for any amount of money.

It is possible to make money, even if your pockets happen to be empty at the moment. Many people before you have managed to make a considerable amount of money successfully at a very rapid pace. Of course, just like with any other job, you cannot make a significant amount of money without a significant amount of hard work and dedication.

One of the most popular ways to earn money online is through affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is simple and there is no initial investment. All you have to do is promote product through online sources to earn commission on each sale. A blog or a simple website is all that you need to use as a platform to market your affiliate products. The content on your website needs to relate to the products you are promoting, dedicating a portion of the site strictly to marketing.

Once you have found the online business that works best for you, it is important to work toward maintaining your flow of income. You need to work to keep people interested in your affiliate products.
