The Living Planet Aquarium may live to fight at least three more years. While Salt Lake City leaders thought they could kill the aquarium next month, the City Council learned Thursday that the aquarium may exercise an option it has to buy the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency land near 400 South and 500 West, where the aquarium is to be located. “I am writing on behalf of the Living Planet Aquarium to inform the RDA that the aquarium is considering exercising its option to purchase,” aquarium attorney David Wolf wrote to RDA Board Chairman Eric Jergensen Thursday. “In addition, representatives from the aquarium would like to meet with you, and the appropriate representatives of the RDA, to discuss how best to coordinate the sale of the property from the RDA to the aquarium.” The agency has an agreement to give the aquarium a free lease on the land if it could meet several semiannual fund-raising milestones established by the RDA. The aquarium, however, has failed to meet any of those milestones, and last April the City Council, serving as the RDA Board, gave the aquarium one last chance: If the aquarium could raise some $10 million or get a bond to fund part of the $47 million project on the Salt Lake County ballot by November, the agency would continue the lease.

The exhibit is located in the Changing Exhibits Gallery on the second floor of the Aquarium.

Abstract: Energy is vital to sustain every aspect of production. Substantial benefits could be gained, both economical and ecological, if energy consumption was decreased. To obtain this, consciousness about energy utilization in the manufacturing enterprise is critical. This paper describes practical verification of the enhanced model for energy consumption during machining, which integrates feature-based calculation of machining process energy utilization with activity-based energy estimation of operations performed by machine tool. Key words: environmentally conscious manufacturing, energy utilization Energy, as the one of the production system entry streams, is indispensable for transformation of semi-finished products or raw material into final products. Energy consumption is strictly connected with running production business. From entrepreneurs point of view one can appoint two aspects of energy consumption: the way of gaining the energy and the efficiency of energy utilization. Considering the facts that nowadays energy is gained from nonrenewable sources, which are limited, and global energy consumption is at increasing rate, energy prices have also constant upward tendency and cost of production maintenance is constantly growing. Due to limited range of operation in the area of selecting energy supplier, the only way for cutting down the energy cost is better utilization of energy during production activities.
WELLESLEY, Mass. — Nexus Energy Software, a leading provider of Web and call center customer service solutions to energy utilities, announced the release of the ENERGYprism(R) Home Energy Center and its installation to date on 33 utility Web sites, in many cases replacing earlier Nexus customer energy management Web tools. Energy Center was developed to improve the Web experience for customers of energy utilities, and increase reliance of customers on utility Web sites to answer their questions such as: How does my homes energy use compare with others? How much do my appliances cost to operate? What techniques and utility programs are available to help me save? “The Home Energy Center software is a breakthrough,” remarked Harvey Michaels, chairman and CEO of Nexus. “With it we move forward from the concept of a Web-based energy audit to a full-service Energy Center that addresses a wide range of customer needs, with Web personalization of navigation and content unique to each returning customer. This increases the value of the application with each visit, which in turn reduces the utilitys customer service costs while supporting the utilitys marketing and energy management objectives.” Energy Center software features include a personalized My Home return page, with content based on the customers prior visits and profile; a Welcome page with examples of content and questions that can be answered; and navigation alternatives: customers choose a self-guided explorative process, or a more structured, wizard-like experience. Also notable is the capability of the product architecture to support individual client configurations with a common product core, which allowed over 30 customer-specific upgrades to occur efficiently and almost simultaneously.

Short of zapping every hair on your legs with laser treatment, hair-free legs are a dim fantasy for most women. Until now. The heavyweights of the shaving world, King of Shaves, have come up with a new, all natural product that actually slows the growth of your hair while moisturising. After daily use for eight weeks your hair will become softer, finer and less noticeable. VanisHair Hair Minimising Spritz ((pounds) 6.99)
Namaste Laboratories, the makers of the Organic Root Stimulator brand of hair care products for ethnic consumers, has introduced a hair fertilizer to help strengthen weak, damaged hair.
Byline: By Melissa Dagg We have all had shiny hair at one time or another, even if only as children. Dull hair is synonymous with unhealthy hair as shine is to its health. Dullness usually goes with dryness but the wrong use of products can dull hair, as can too much of a product, or you may allow your hair to get dirty so that the dust and grime forms a film and inhibits light reflection. Basically, the best way to banish dull hair is to have it clean. In addition, have it conditioned. Damaged hair doesnt shine as much as virgin hair because damage, whether it is from chemical processing or physical trauma such as rough treatment, raises the hairs cuticle and conditioner used after shampooing helps to flatten the cuticle, and the combination of clean hair and smooth hair aids light reflection. It is the reflection of light that gives hair a shine. All types of hair dont shine in the same way. The most shiny hair is straight, because straight surfaces reflect more light, the least shiny is frizzy curly hair, because the light is deflected from the undulating surface in different directions. Wavy hair, provided the waves are uniform and smooth, can also be quite shiny. There are shine sprays or leave-in conditioners which are mostly used on curly hair. They contain oils and oilicones, which in themselves help to reflect light. However to much of this type of product tends to coat the hair and attracts dust and dirt.

A recent investigation was designed to see whether a phenomenon similar to naturally occurring relapse might be produced experimentally in a shorter time period by intentionally interrupting weight loss momentum during the initial treatment period. Investigators felt that artificially forcing weight stabilization might allow them to produce experimental relapses in a shorter time frame than occurs naturally during treatment. The purpose of the study was to experimentally test this disruption hypothesis by randomly assigning some patients to interventions that would disrupt their weight loss momentum. Subjects included 142 men and women (22 males and 120 females), aged 25 to 60 years with a mean BM1 of 33.1 [+ or -] 3.3 kg/[m.sup.2]. Subjects were randomly assigned to one of three groups that differed in the scheduling of the 14 group lessons. The control group completed 14 sessions, on 14 consecutive weeks. The long break group (LB) took a 6-week break after the seventh lesson. The short break group (SB) took 2 week breaks after the third, sixth, and ninth lessons. Participants in all groups were assessed at postreatment (week 20) and 6 months later (month 11). The three groups received the same behavioral weight loss intervention consisting of 14 group meetings. The subjects were also assigned a calorie goal of 1000 to 1500 calories per day depending on their baseline weight. Additionally, to create a formal rule for `break, participants were given a list of 13 high-fat foods that were to be totally restricted (for example, cheese, burgers, cakes, and pastries). Exercise was gradually increased up to 150 rain of activity per week. There were no group meetings during breaks and participants were instructed no to monitor their behaviors or weight during these breaks and to eat and exercise as they had before the program. Following the `breaks, treatment meetings began where they had left off. After completing the 14 lessons, all participants were encouraged to maintain their new eating and exercise habits and continue to lose weight or maintain their weight loss. The subjects appeared to take the breaks as prescribed, with interruptions in self-monitoring, dietary adherence, and self-weighing (but not exercise). However, participants quickly resumed their weight loss behaviors after the break. Breaks produced a slowing of weight reduction or slight regain, but weight losses during the breaks were not significantly different from the control group. Overall weight losses (0 to 5 months or 0 to 11 months) did not differ between the treatment groups.

The primary purpose of this article is to examine the inner subjective experience of the father; hence, the inner father. The focus on the subjective makes possible the exploration and unification of two significant dimensions of the father experience: first, the inner representational world of human consciousness as it involves the father experience, and second, the meaning of having a father or being fathered. Present-day research on paternal relationships focuses on the male parent himself, on the father role, and on father-child interaction, often in the context of other family relationships (Marsiglio, 1995; Pleck, 1997). It also looks at institutional factors that may influence paternal practices. Some contemporary investigations also address the child, examining his/her gender, level of development, and attitudes toward the male parent (Doherty, Kouneski, Erickson, 1998). The focus of this article is on an additional dimension: the inner, subjective experience and meaning associated with the father. Here, inner subjective experience refers to the ways in which the individual intrapsychically represents the father and the images and attendant feelings connected to mental representations of him (St. Clair, 1986). The meaning of the father signifies the individuals interpretations of his/her intrapsychic images of and feelings about the father. Interpretations are infused with both personal experience and cultural ideology. I enumerate the features of the inner subjective world, particularly those aspects that pertain to family life. I then explicate the attributes of the inner father and father meaning. A second and related purpose is to offer a new way of thinking about the sons and daughters bond with his/her father, one that is theoretically rooted in object relations theory, analytic psychology, and John Bowlbys ethological attachment theory (1969/1982, 1973, 1980; Greenberg Mitchell, 1983; Jacobi, 1953/1970; Jung, 1933; 1959/1968). I draw from Bowlbys work to explore the possibilities of innate structures in the personality that lay the foundation for the inner father. I then draw from cultural anthropological and psychological literature to hypothesize that aspects of the inner father may be genetically inherited. In the next section of the article, I discuss three levels of fatherlessness that appear to exist–personal, psychological, and societal. Finally, I address the significance of the inner father for the practitioner working with individuals, families, and the larger community. In object relations theory, the external world is known internally through the process of mental representation (St. Clair, 1986). Object relations theorists recognize that the inner world of humans not only contains representations of the individuals present life but images of the past that exercise influence on everyday experiences, particularly interpersonal relationships. These mental representations are affect-laden. They contain the emotions generated from the interpersonal encounters and life experience that gave rise to the imagery. Not only is the remembrance of the event housed in memory even when the memory is unconscious, but the associated emotions are also retained. The uncovering or revelation of the subjective inner life of persons thus illuminates and makes meaning of the observable, behaviooral dimensions of an individuals life and of the feelings that underlie his/her behavior (Ross, 1982).

1 Friday The blister beetle, Lytta vesicatoria, sometimes called the Spanish fly or the oil beetle, is a winged, bright green insect common to the USA, Canada, Europe, and southern Russia. The blister beetle is both a blessing and a curse to farmers. In the larval stage, blister beetles are welcomed by farmers, because they eat grasshopper eggs, which are notoriously destructive to crops. As adults, however, blister beetles develop a ravenous appetite for many of the same crops they once helped to protect from the grasshoppers.

Morgan D. (1996). The principles of hypnotherapy. Bradford UK: Eilidon Press. The book is divided into three parts. Part A consisting of 9 chapters covers foundational material on systems theory and how that can be applied to organic systems and to hypnosis. It discusses positive feedback loops that amplify the process and negative feedback loops that subdue the process. Positive feedback amplification can be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether increasing the effect is desired, while negative feedback calming can be either beneficial or harmful depending on whether decreasing the effect is desired. Morgan focuses on the activity of a system, the activity of its component subsystems, or the activity of the supersystem of which the system is a component. His main theoretical focus is on whether the activity of the system is increasing, decreasing, or staying the same, as other components change in specified ways. Hypnosis is described in systems terms, not as a “state,” but rather in terms of what system or subsystem components are changed, either increased or decreased, during trance induction, deepening, maintenance, trance work, and termination. He uses simple symbols to represent activities in quasi-mathematical style, which is helpful. Some of the letter symbols are used for different activities in different parts of the book. It would have been easier to follow if given letter symbols had been used more consistently to represent single specific activities. Some of his textual references to others publications are found in the bibliography at the end of the book, but some are unfortunately not present in the bibliography. He goes through common hypnotic tests in Chapter 8 and inductions in Chapter 9 explaining them in systems terms. This does produce some greater conceptual clarity with respect to subsystem component activities during hypnosis. Part B consisting of 6 chapters is the central discussion on what the systems approach can teach us about hypnotherapy. Chapter 10 discusses the matter of diagnosis in systems terms looking at precursors, problems, and resultants, and how they change with respect to one another. Chapter 11 focuses on positive and negative feedback loops in organic systems including behavioral, emotive, and cognitive. The vicious circle is a positive feedback loop with harmful consequences. Thinking in systems terms may make needed changes clearer to the therapist. Chapter 12 looks at the consequences of symptom reduction. The remaining three chapters in this part examine making changes by choosing the appropriate positive feedback loops to amplify desired effects and the appropriate negative feedback loops to quiet undesired effects, planning the changes, and reinforcing the changes by selecting natural reinforces. Part C further develops aspects of the systems approach to hypnosis and is comprised of 10 chapters. Topics here include dynamic rebound in paired systems, dissociation, and a systems analysis of indirect questions. Experimentation based on systems theory is discussed, and family therapy and schools of psychotherapy are cataloged from a systems analysis viewpoint. The abstract dynamic patterns of analogies and metaphors are also analyzed from a systems viewpoint, while consciousness is approached from a supersystem vantage point. Finally, the mathematics of linear equations is applied as a reasonable approximation of activity in positive and negative feedback loops, so long as the numbers are reasonably small.

A periodical focusing on organizational development within the context of management.
Abstract People who focus on executive performance and development overtime have shown there are four aspects of executive focus in an organization: (1) Responsibility, accountability and authority, (2) interpersonal roles, (3) informational roles, and (4) decisional roles. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg in really understanding the value and leverage to be gained as a result of executive coaching. This article examines how to leverage executive coaching fully, in order to assess and amplify the role of emotional intelligence in executive results. Bringing Emotional Intelligence into the Workplace Executive Coaching is More Than Behavioral Work! In fact, most of the current paradigms of executive coaching/consulting probably encompass no more than single loop learning: performance against a set of expectations without a corresponding shift in governing variables, or what well call problem solving. Framing this concept of single loop learning, promoted in the seventies by Argyris and Schon is the shift to double loop learning and Model II learning. While this is not a new concept, learning how to learn while objectifying this process is another matter. In order to leverage executive coaching and double loop learning, well have to focus on more than just behavior.

SMUG families are risking their lives by not installing smoke alarms. Despite repeated safety calls from fire chiefs more than 60% of County Durham homes hit by fire, between April and September did not have alarms. For the same period last year there were 251 house fires with 52% found without the alarms. Paul Reay, director of community safety with the fire service, said: “Youre twice as likely to die in a fire at home if you havent got a working smoke alarm. “While smoke alarms dont prevent fires they save lives by raising awareness of the fire. “It is essential that smoke alarms are checked weekly and working batteries should never be removed.”

When people read the word “botox,” generally the first things that come to mind are anti-aging or beauty treatments. In fact, most of us know Botox as the magic wrinkle remover for the rich and famous. However, we are learning that Botoxs potential benefits reach far beyond these. Many clinicians have incorporated Botox into their clinical practice for treating diverse bothersome medical conditions, including secondary complications associated with spinal-cord injury (SCI). Current research involving Botox and SCI aims to minimize those complications such as general spasticity, bladder spasticity, and pain. Botox holds promise as a treatment for these conditions because of its effect on the muscles into which it is injected. Botox is the brand name for botulinum toxin A, a medication derived from Clostridium botulinurn toxin. It works by blocking communication of nerves with muscle fibers or pain receptors within the muscle group injected. This leads not only to muscle “relaxation” but also to less effective transmission of pain signals. With proper dosing, Botox remains in the muscle injected, so the rest of the body is not affected. Thats why it “magically” melts away those unwanted crows feet and laugh lines and may decrease pain in the muscles injected. The effects of the injections are not permanent. At some time between three to six months postinjection, the body regains its ability to communicate with that particular muscle.
It was just discovered that the administration
of fake Botox injections was the cause of death of a Salinas, CA woman who
died several months ago. The deceased woman had received fake Botox
injections from her hairstylist, who was also an unlicensed practitioner.
The hairstylist, Martha Vasquez, 39, has since been arrested and is
awaiting possible manslaughter charges.
Authorities believe Vasquez advertised the fake Botox injections to
customers who were seeing her for haircuts, and administered the injections
at her clients homes.
Botox injections are one of the most popular and commonly administered
cosmetic treatments. Thousands of people are injected with Botox everyday
to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Despite the fact that Botox
injections have become so widely available and treatments are now subject
to price wars, what happened in California confirms that consumers of Botox
need to take precautions.
Patients must ensure they are receiving treatment from not only licensed
medical providers, but providers who are properly trained and qualified.
Consumers should conduct research prior to choosing a qualified provider
for Botox, as well as for all cosmetic medical treatments. When it comes
to medical treatment — the least expensive choice is not only not the
wisest, it is also not always the safest.
Patients should also be proactive in ensuring that the Botox they are
receiving is authentic. “Allergan has a number of measures in place to
ensure the integrity and authenticity of BOTOX, and there are important
steps patients should take to protect themselves from unscrupulous and
unethical practitioners,” said Douglas S. Ingram, Allergans Executive
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary.

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Feb. 9, 1999–You dont need a survey research background or a big consulting budget to get effective, reliable answers. Hard to believe? Surveys with Confidence, new from SPSS Inc. (Nasdaq: SPSS), will convince you its true. The product is a cost-effective, three-part survey research software suite that walks users through the survey process from designing the survey to reporting findings. Surveys with Confidence is now shipping worldwide. Surveys with Confidence features a computer-based training application called Survey Coach, which guides users step–by-step through the survey creation, collection and analysis processes. The Survey Coach is made up of five modules that address different parts of the survey process, including planning the survey, creating the questionnaire, collecting and entering data, generating reports and preparing a schedule and budget. Survey Coach incorporates animation, sound and video for a lively training approach. Surveys with Confidence also includes Survey Builder for creating professional surveys and Survey Analyst for analyzing the collected survey data and presenting findings. Survey Builder is an application for survey design and data entry. It features a library filled with questions designed by experts in survey research that users can copy and paste into the survey along with their own questions. During the layout of the survey, Survey Builder automatically prepares the onscreen data entry form and the data definitions for analysis. For example, when a user enters a possible response into the form, such as “very satisfied,” Survey Builder incorporates that response option as a label on both data entry screens and in reports or graphs created from the survey. Survey Analyst is the final piece of the Surveys with Confidence suite. Survey Analyst helps users analyze their data for useful, actionable information and enables them to present their findings. Users choose from a variety of analytical tools including more than 50 statistical methods. Additionally, interactive graphics provide users with the ability to explore their data visually and present it professionally. Surveyors can distribute electronic reports created in Survey Analyst to colleagues who have a copy of the optional SmartViewer software, and for Web-based reporting, organizations can use the optional SmartViewer Web Server. SmartViewer Web Server enables people to distribute dynamic reports throughout their organizations via the Web. Information consumers point their Web browser to the report where they view, slice, dice and drill down into report cubes to answer their own questions. “Surveys with Confidence is the most complete survey software on the market,” SPSS product manager Thaddeus Hunt said. “No other survey package has a computer-based training application like the Survey Coach to guide people through the survey process. Its also extremely cost-effective for organizations or departments who need the answers that surveys provide, but cant afford to hire a research firm. Surveys with Confidence provides reliable results and doesnt require a survey research background.”

Daily newspaper from Salt Lake City, Utah was first published in 1850. Articles cover local news, business and entertainment.
ABSTRACT The article examines the degree of institutionalization of the Guatemalan party universe across four areas: the pattern of interparty competition; the rootedness of parties in society; the legitimacy accorded to parties and democratic institutions; and the nature of internal party organization. Guatemala displays an extremely inchoate party structure across all these variables. There is no stability in the identity of the main parties in the polity. After more than two decades of electoral democracy, no single party has been able to avert a drift into electoral irrelevance or outright disappearance. With respect to the basic facets of internal party organization, Guatemalan parties exhibit a feebleness so pronounced that their very status as parties is questionable. In general, Guatemalan “parties” only fulfill Sartoris minimalist definition as organizations that field candidates for public office, but offer nothing more substantive. The obstacles to building a well-functioning liberal democracy in Guatemala are many and often acknowledged: the legacy of an overbearing military stemming from the “counterinsurgency state,” an inordinate degree of income inequality and poverty, and a large indigenous population that is fundamentally absent from political life, among others (Jonas 1991; Poitevin 1999). But the legacy of the countrys wretched past also includes another crucial element that often goes unmentioned: the peculiar nature of its party universe and its parties. This essay qualitatively assesses the degree of institutionalization of the Guatemalan party system. The variables used for this task are those conceptualized by Mainwaring and Scully (1995) in their pioneering work: the pattern of interparty competition, the rootedness of parties in society, the legitimacy accorded to parties and democratic institutions, and the nature of internal party organization. While these components of institutionalization can surely be correlated with one another, empirically speaking, party systems do not necessarily exhibit uniformity across these variables; that is, they may be hybrid and underinstitutionalized in some respects while adequately institutionalized in others. This article will show that the Guatemalan party universe is exceptionally inchoate across all the aforementioned four elements. Comparative studies of Latin American party systems have usually ignored Guatemala, not least because of the marginal role that parties in this country play in the political process. This study seeks to fill this gap and provide a case study of underinstitutionalization virtually without parallel in the region.
