A ferry accident in New York City today injured nearly 60 passengers, at least two critically. According to the New York Fire Department, the ferry was going approximately 15 mph when it ran into a loading barge near a pier.
There were 326 passengers on the ferry at the time of the accident, and many people were standing near the exit when the impact occurred. While it is unclear what caused the ferry accident -- the crews passed Breathalyzer tests -- this particular ferry had been involved in previous docking crashes. The National Transportation Safety Board is currently investigating the accident to determine liability.
Ferry Accidents in California
While this accident happened in New York City, it could have happened anywhere. Early last year, for example, an accident on a California ferry caused a van with passengers to sink into Newport Bay. Thankfully, no one was injured in that accident.
Under federal law, ferry owners must provide safe transportation, keeping their boats in good operating conditions and regularly inspecting them. There must be an appropriate number of ferry crew, who must be properly trained. And, of course, the captain of the ship must navigate it safely and within speed limits. Failure to do any of these things amounts to negligence.
Ferry boat accidents are almost always the result of negligence, whether the crew was negligent, the company failed to provide proper training, or there was a defect on the boat itself. In any case, if individuals are injured in a ferry boat accident, they can recover compensation for their injuries through a lawsuit against the negligent parties.

Bob Marley's family have lost a legal battle over copyright of the singer's music, including hits such as 'No Woman, No Cry' and 'One Love'.
The wife and children of the iconic reggae star were hoping to obtain copyrights to five of the late singer's best-known albums, and had sought millions of dollars in damages from Universal Music Group's (UMG) alleged attempts to "exploit" his work.
The five albums in question - 'Burnin', 'Catch a Fire', 'Exodus', 'Natty Dread' and 'Rastaman Vibrations'- were recorded by the musician and his band The Wailers between 1973 and 1977 for Island Records.
Marley's family had claimed UMG - the parent company of Island Records - had intentionally withheld royalties from them and failed to consult with them on key licensing decisions, including the use of the singer's music on mobile phone ringtones.
However New York-based Judge Denise Cote has now ruled the recordings were defined under US copyright law as "works made for hire", and therefore UMG is the rightful owner of the albums and music contained within.
Bob died in 1981 of skin cancer at the age of 36.

Dental services offered by Diamond Dental Centre
Comprehensive oral examination & treatment plan
It is important to your own oral hygiene and health to visit a dentist on a regular basis. At Diamond Dental, we suggest six monthly visits to prevent unforeseen dental emergencies. At Diamond Dental we perform a full comprehensive examination that includes any detailed treatment plans prior to commencing further treatment. During a routine exam at Diamond Dental, your dentist will: evaluate your overall health and oral hygiene, take a full dental base chart of your teeth, assess your need for tooth restoration or tooth replacement, check your bite and jaw for problems, take dental x-rays or, if necessary, do other diagnostic procedures, create a treatment plan listing any treatments required and costs involved.
Tooth colored restorations
Advances in white filling materials means more varied applications are available, including repairing chipped or broken front teeth, covering unsightly marks on teeth, enhancing the shape of front teeth or simply used as a filling material on back teeth. At Diamond Dental , we are using amalgam free fillings (containing no mercury) for health as well as cosmetic reasons. The colour range of the material has greatly improved, enabling us to obtain a good colour match to your existing teeth. At Diamond Dental, we think that a perfect smile should go beyond your front teeth, all the way to the back of your mouth to allow you to smile broadly or laugh out loud without worrying about your unsightly metal fillings or crowns.
If you agree, then let us show you how easy it is to replace your existing metal with porcelain inlays and onlays – natural-looking alternatives that are both strong and attractive. An inlay is similar to a filling in that it lies inside the cusp tips of a tooth. (A cusp is the pointed or rounded projection on the chewing portion of a tooth.) An onlay is like a crown – a bigger filling that covers one or more cusps of a tooth. We can replace any silver or gold filling with a beautiful porcelain inlay or onlay. It usually takes two dental visits to complete the change – the first visit to remove the old filling (or remove the decay or re-shape a broken tooth if this is your initial visit for the tooth), take an impression of the tooth and place a temporary sealant or restoration in place. The laboratory then creates your restoration based on the impression taken. During your second visit we will remove the temporary measure, check that the color of the inlay or onlay matches the adjacent teeth, check your bite and then bond or cement the new restoration into place. Not only are porcelain replacements attractive, they can actually increase the strength of a tooth substantially over a metal filling. The reason for this is that inlays and onlays are bonded directly onto the tooth with special resins, which will allow the restoration to stay in place for many years. Inlays and onlays are excellent cosmetic alternatives to gold or other metal restorations because they provide practical solutions to your need for fillings or to fix damaged teeth, as well as an attractive visual enhancement over the old metal fillings. Ask us how inlays or onlays can perfect your smile.
Root canal therapy
Root canal therapy is a sequence of treatment for the nerve of a tooth in order to eliminate infection and to protect the tooth from future bacterial attacks. The procedure involves removal of the nerve tissue, blood vessels and other cells from within the root of a tooth, the cleaning, shaping and decontamination of these root canal with tiny files and irrigating solutions and then filling, of the cleaned out canals with an inert filling, such as gutta percha and a cement. After the surgery the tooth will be "dead", and if the infection is spread at apex, root end surgery is required. After a root canal treatment, the tooth looses all of its natural hydration from the nerve and blood vessels and becomes very brittle. This can make a tooth more prone to fracture especially if the tooth is a molar where most of the biting forces are concentrated. For this reason, our dentists usually recommend a crown to protect teeth that have undergone root canal treatment. The procedure is relatively painless, because our dentists use anesthetics during process.
Unlike dental crowns, porcelain veneers cover only the front part of the tooth, after having only minimal work done on the tooth itself. Wafer thin porcelain, crafted by very experienced technicians, is used to rectify many defects, including the masking of discoloured teeth, realigning crowded and protruding teeth and closing gaps. Porcelain dental veneers are very strong, lasting up to 15 years, are natural in looks and are easy to look after with no special care required. No one else will realise you have veneers, unless you tell them.
Mouth guards
Mouth Guards
A mouthguard (also known as a mouth protector, mouth piece or gumshield) is a protective device for the mouth that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips and gums. They reduce the risk of broken or lost teeth and other mouth injuries such as lacerations in the inside of the mouth. Mouth guards are stiff, cushioned molds that fit closely over the upper teeth. Mouthguards are most often used to prevent injury in contact sports, as a treatment for bruxism (teeth grinding) or temporomandibular joint pain, or as part of certain dental procedures, such as tooth bleaching. There are different types of sports mouth guards available but the most comfortable and easily worn type is the custom mouth guard that you can have made at your dental office. It is not only more comfortable than the "do-it-yourself" types that you boil to soften and fit but it is also more effective. Ask our specialists for the best type for you or your child.
Precautions: Rinse with clean water or antibacterial mouthrinse after use and brush with a toothbrush before storing, store the mouth guard in a specially designed container that allows for air to reach the appliance and one that is hard enough to resist damage, do not boil or leave in hot locations, make a habit of wearing the mouth guard whenever you participate in sports or activities that place you at risk for dental or jaw injuries, have mouth guard replaced if torn or if it no longer fits properly, let your dental hygienist or dentist examine the condition of your appliance at every dental check-up appointment.
TMJ consultation
TMJ Consultation
What is TMJ Disorder? TMJ Disorder (temporomandibular joint disorder) is a catch all term used to describe dysfunction of the jaw muscles and joints. TMJ disorder affects people of all ages and impacts approximately 5% of the population. The condition can result in the misalignment or displacement of the jaw which places stress on the nerves, blood vessels, muscles and connecting tissues of the TM joints. When the condition is prolonged, your body may begin to compensate by adapting an unnatural position involving the muscles of the neck, back or even the arms and pelvis. Symptoms of TMJ Disorder It can present as: clicking or popping sensations with the movement of your jaw joints, pain when the mouth is opened or limited range of opening, clenching or grinding teeth, facial pain and a sense of facial muscle fatigue, ear pain not caused by ear infection, occasional locking when jaw opened, frequent headaches and shoulder pain that affects posture and even mobility.
Areas of pain causes of TMJ disorder. It may develop from the following: lost, crooked or uneven teeth, overbite or other bite problems that affect the joint, teeth that fit together poorly (malocclusion), degenerative arthritis, head or neck injuries including whiplash.
Temporary relief for TMJ disorder: while the approaches list below do not treat the cause, they can reduce the symptoms. Relief may be found by: hot and cold packs applied to the face or temple, limited jaw movement or local pressure such as a phone, do not select hard food or food that requires repetitive chewing, physical therapy or massage, medications.
Your next step: if you suspect you may suffer from TMJ disorder, call our practice for an appointment. Before any TMJ treatment plan can be established, there are two steps:
1. Initial Assessment including an autonomic nerve analysis, and 2. Full Clinical Examination including a biometric computer analysis, imaging and clinical survey. This information gained is invaluable if the dentist hopes to plan and manage an optimal dental therapy that will work with your specific physiology.
Crowns and bridges
Crowns and Bridges
A dental bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, is a dental restoration used to replace a missing tooth by joining permanently to adjacent teeth or dental implants. There are different types of dental bridges, depending on how they are fabricated and the way they anchor to the adjacent teeth.A dental bridge is fabricated by cutting the teeth on either side of the missing tooth or teeth by a preparation pattern determined by the location of the teeth and by the material from which the bridge is fabricated. In other words, the abutment teeth are reduced in size to accommodate the material to be used to restore the size and shape of the original teeth in a correct alignment and contact with the opposing teeth. The materials used for the dental bridges include gold, porcelain fused to metal, or in the correct situation porcelain alone. The amount and type of reduction done to the abutment teeth varies slightly with the different materials used. The recipient of such a dental bridge must be careful to clean well under this prosthesis.
Various types of dentures are available and the cost is dependent on the quality of the teeth and other materials used. By adding character to the teeth and the pink gum, a much more aesthetic result can be achieved. Many dentures are made with materials that have no character in them, be it the actual teeth or the pink gum.
Oral surgery
Oral Surgery
Oral surgery services provided include the following: wisdom teeth removal, tooth removal prior to orthodontics, dentoalveolar surgery to remove damaged or infected teeth, complex tooth removal for medically compromised patients, assessment and management of bone grafting, pre prosthetic (restorative) surgery to provide optimal anatomy for the placement of dental implants, dentures or other dental prostheses, patient assessment for the placement of dental implants leading to full dental restoration, diagnosis and treatment of clinical oral pathology, cysts, growths etc, diagnosis and treatment of other mouth pathology, diagnosis and treatment of soft and hard tissue trauma of the oral and maxillofacial region.
Implant placement
What are implants? implants are one way of replacing missing teeth. A post is planted in the jaw bone to support a replacement tooth. This acts like the root of a natural tooth. Implants can also be used to support fixed bridges or dentures. Implant treatment normally has two stages. First, the implant is placed in the jaw. Then, when the jaw has healed, replacement teeth are attached to the implant. In some situations, it is possible for temporary teeth to be attached to an implant at the time of fitting. Would implants be right for me? First, you should decide whether implants could be right for you. Contact us to arrange an implant consultation and discussion and we will let you know the possibilities. Our team will be only too happy to help you with any questions you may have. If you decide to go ahead, this is what will happen. Implants are put into holes in the jaw with a local anaesthetic. You can opt to have sedation for this procedure also. The implant is screwed or pushed in and the gum is stitched so that it heals over the implant & under the gum. The bone then grows round the implant to hold it firm. This takes several months. Implants usually have two sections – the post in the jaw and an extension that is added later when the post is secure. Attaching the extension needs a small cut in the gum above the implant. You might have more than one implant. The replacement teeth might be fixed permanently (like a crown or bridge) or attached in a way which lets you remove them for cleaning (like a denture).

How Advance Beneficiary Notices (ABNs) Used in Medicare Medical Coding and Billing
When the provider performs services or provides items that are not reimbursable and for which there is no Medicare coverage, the medical coder can bring the matter to the attention of the office management or the provider to discuss the need for something called an advance beneficiary notice (ABN). This happens because as the medical coder, you're responsible for abstracting reimbursable procedures from the medical record.
The ABN is basically a waiver of liability that providers use when they plan to perform a service that Medicare most likely will determine is not medically necessary. The provider gives the ABN to the patient to sign.
After the ABN has been obtained, the provider can hold the Medicare patient liable for the charges. This advanced warning is Medicare's way of insisting that providers inform their patients when Medicare may not reimburse them and alerting the patients to the fact that they will owe the entire amount billed.
Currently, providers can customize their own ABN forms as long as the forms contain the required language. Generally, the ABN must be easy to read; use a large font size; and identify the provider, the patient, the service or item in question, and the reason that payment is expected to be denied.
In addition, the patient must sign the ABN every time the service or item is provided. (You can't have patients sign a blanket form that obligates them to pay for a service not deemed necessary by Medicare.)

7 Objects That You Can Use As A Rolling Pin Substitute: #4 Will Blow Your Mind
We all know how valuable a rolling pin is in shaping dough to your desired thickness. This baking tool is greatly needed in making the crust of your pies and pizzas. If you don't own one right now, don't worry because you can use other objects that can be used as a good rolling pin substitute.
I came up with this list to help those who like to bake, but have no rolling pins in their kitchen. You can still flatten your dough with a little bit of resourcefulness. If you like to know the objects that you can substitute for a rolling pin, keep reading.
#1, #2, #3, #4
Although the substitutes for rolling pin is quite simple and easy to find, it takes me pretty much time to really try and figure out what are the most effective. #1, #2, #3, and #4 are the best ones I found out!
Just fill in the form below to discover what they are. It also indicates that you appreciate my work, and encourage me to do more, try more to improve your cooking experience. 😉
[thrive_lead_lock id='10813']
1. Wine Bottle
Most of us have a wine bottle stored in our homes and another way of putting it into good use is to use it as a rolling pin. According to Leaf.tv, a full or half-full wine bottle is perfect in rolling out a pastry dough. To keep your pastry dough firm, use a chilled wine bottle.
To prevent your bottle from imparting any potential bacteria or microbes into your dough, sandwich your dough with a parchment paper or plastic wrap. This technique can also keep your dough from sticking into the bottle.
If you have no plastic wrap or parchment paper, disinfect the exterior of the bottle and remove the label if it's sticking out. Before you roll the bottle, sprinkle it with flour to keep the dough from adhering to its surface.
Once the parchment paper or plastic wrap is placed or your bottle disinfected and floured, you can start rolling it out. To roll, press down the bottle with one hand and grip the neck with your other hand. You can learn the basic steps in rolling the dough with a wine bottle in this video here.
2. Tall Drinking Glass
Another acceptable rolling pin substitute that you can use is a tall drinking glass. Author Joe Kissell of Take Control suggests using a tall drinking glass to roll the dough for your pies. The sides of the glass should be smooth, so your dough comes out pretty good.
The drinking glass should be heavy, so you don't get it broken as you apply pressure when rolling it. You can get it chilled before using so you can keep the dough cold. According to Prepared Pantry, a cold rolling pin helps in making beautiful pie crusts and pastries because it can keep the butter solid.
To use a drinking glass as a rolling pin, first, spray it with a cooking spray or any oil as a lubricant. Roll the drinking glass like what you do to a regular rolling pin. Before you roll the glass hardly into the dough, make sure that you clean it well.
You can also keep the dough clean by placing it between plastic wrap sheets. Plus, the plastic wrap can help keep the dough from adhering to the drinking glass when you roll it.
3. Thermos
Another interesting object that you can use as a rolling pin alternative is a thermos. According to The Boat Gallery, you may use a thermos as long as its sides are smooth so it can flatten the dough nicely. You can technically use any smooth-sided thermos as long as its cylindrical in shape.
What I use is the LebernaTM 34-Ounce Thermos which is made of stainless steel. Its long cylindrical shape makes it perfect for rolling a pizza dough. You can also keep the water from leaking through its secured lid.
Since our goal is to keep the dough cold as possible, you can store cold drinks inside the thermos when using it as a rolling pin. The cold dough can make nice pizza or pie crusts. Make sure that you wipe the thermos from any dirt and moisture before you start rolling it.
You can keep the dough from adhering to the thermos by dusting it with some flour. Roll the thermos like you do with a regular rolling pin.
4. PVC Pipe
Yes, you read it right. You may also use a piece of PVC pipe to make a rolling pin substitute for your baking needs. According to author Dorothy Herman, a 12-15 inch water PVC pipe can make a good substitute for a rolling pin. Make sure that you purchase the caps that fit on the ends to make it even sturdier.
To put more weight, add some cold water or beans inside the pipe. Most people do this because the water doesn't leak out as what others wrongfully expect. You need to be aware that it does make a sound each time you roll it on the dough.
Since this pipe is made of PVC, you need to be careful not to get in contact with the dough. To keep your dough protected, sandwich it with a plastic wrap. After that, you can start rolling it out to desired thickness.
When you're done rolling, take each cap off from the pipe and wash it with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and leave the pipe to dry overnight.
5. Water Bottle
Another great piece of item that you can substitute as a rolling pin is a water bottle. A stainless steel water bottle, just like this fits the bill of being a proper rolling pin alternative.
If you have a plastic bottle filled with water on hand, you can turn it solid by freezing the water inside. Although this may do the trick, rolling it will be a bit uncomfortable to the hands. To keep your hands from getting frozen, use gloves.
No matter what your choice is, make sure that you clean the bottle well before you get it in contact with the dough. For a safer solution, lay the dough in between pieces of plastic wrap.
In this way, your water bottle will not be touching your dough plus it won't stick to the item. To create a firmer pastry, fill your water bottle with cold water before you give it a roll.
6. Dowel
Since most rolling pins are made of wood, the closest way to duplicate it is to use a piece of wooden dowel which is at least one inch in diameter. The right length of the dowel should be about 19 inches to give better maneuverability. If you have a couple of free parts, a drill, and a table saw, then you can make your own rolling pin by watching the process in this video.
The best hardwood that you can choose includes cherry, maple, and walnut. Cherry is resistant to deformation, but its light color may darken over time to a dark reddish brown. The walnut has a firm and tightly compact grain which can hold itself pretty well against abuse.
My personal choice is maple because it's strong enough to resist any abrasion and it's hefty enough to flatten the dough well. Since dowels come in a straight form without handles, you won't be holding the sides to roll, but you use the heel of your hand instead. The motion should be pressing the dowel away from you.
As compared to other rolling pin substitutes, you may get more maneuverability and more controlled pressure with a dowel. Although this may be perfect for pie and soft bread dough, it may not work well for a hard or chilled cookie dough.
7. Beverage Can
If you have lots of soda cans in your fridge, then you can use one as a substitute for a rolling pin. An unopened can is preferable over an empty one because it has enough sturdiness to flatten a dough. Using an empty can is not advisable because its thinness can easily collapse with a bit of pressure.
For your pastries, a chilled soda can is perfect to flatten a dough. The coldness of the can keep the pastry dough from melting. Just like the rest of any rolling pin alternatives, you need to sandwich the dough with some plastic wrap to keep it clean and dry from any moisture coming from the chilled can of soda.
After you have used the soda can as a rolling pin, be careful when opening it up because a sudden burst of foam may erupt. If you don't like this kind of a mess, you can prevent it by giving your can a tap on all its sides before opening. This technique may work with a regular soda but not with a diet soda.
Final Thought
Did you enjoy reading the list of objects that you can use as a good rolling pin substitute? This list was important to me because it has allowed me to bake my favorite without the need of buying a hefty rolling pin. I don't only save cost, but I also save space on my kitchen cabinet.
If you've tried any of the objects listed above, leave your comments below. Don't forget to share this wonderful list with your friends if you like it.

'Hamilton' dominates Tony Awards but doesn't break records
The Founding Father was one bad mother Sunday night at the 70th Tony Awards. The sold-out musical "Hamilton" won 11 Tony Awards, though it fell one short of "The Producers" as the all-time Tony champ.
"Hamilton," which will come to Charlotte's Belk Theater during the 2017-18 Broadway Lights season, had been nominated for a record-setting 16 Tonys, one more than "The Producers" and "Billy Elliot." It couldn't win them all; three featured actors and two leading actors cancelled each other out. But it came close: The only chips in its armor were best actress in a musical (Cynthia Erivo of "The Color Purple") and scenic design for a musical ("She Loves Me").
The triumph belonged mostly to Lin-Manuel Miranda, the star-composer who won best score and best book. (His co-star, Leslie Odom Jr., took the best actor prize away from him.) Miranda didn't freestyle his acceptance speech for best score – "I'm too old" – but graced the show with a sonnet to his wife.
The influence of "Hamilton" could be felt even in commercials during the broadcast, from the rapping AFLAC duck to a promotion for the TV show "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" in a colonial white wig and frock coat. Disney aired a trailer for the animated movie "Moana," which will come out at Thanksgiving with songs by Miranda (among other composers). Barack and Michelle Obama even teased a number from "Hamilton" in a video.
The adoration of "Hamilton" may have obscured a terrific showing for "The Humans," Stephen Karam's drama about six family members who air their deepest fears over a Thanksgiving dinner. It won four awards: best play, scenic design, featured actor and actress (veterans Reed Birney and Jayne Houdyshell). Karam urged "anyone out there struggling with day jobs to make work that comes from your heart – keep the faith."
Despite the joyful speeches, a specter hung over the show from the beginning. The murder of 50 people in an Orlando LGBT club early Sunday morning elicited outpourings of sadness and support all day, and Tony host James Corden was no exception. His first words reminded us the theatrical world is safe for every kind of person: "Your tragedy is our tragedy...Theater is a place where all creeds, races and genders are loved." (Frank Langella, winning his fourth Tony as best actor for "The Father," used his acceptance speech to urge the families of the victims to be strong.)
Corden eventually swung into a good-natured monologue in his London accent: "Think of us as the Oscars with diversity. It's so diverse that Donald Trump has threatened to build a wall around this theater ... This is like the Super Bowl for people who don't know what the Super Bowl is." He paid tribute to his theater-struck childhood with a medley of Broadway songs, switching costumes at lightning speed and inspiring kids dreaming of a stage career: "To every Broadway would-be/Don't wonder if this could be you – It absolutely could be!"
The Tony Awards are more interesting than any other awards show I know for four reasons. First, victors are almost always humble and grateful, however much they expected to win. Second, the host assumes a level of intelligence among viewers and expects them to get inside jokes; you have to step up your awareness of theater to fully enjoy this show.
Third, you see things you'll never see anywhere else, such as excerpts from the "Spring Awakening" revival that paired singers with hearing-impaired actors who signed their lines. (The show is about failures of communication between parents and children, so that's apt.)
Fourth, the musical numbers give you a true sense of nominated productions; they're reproduced by people who sing and dance them on Broadway, not celebrities. Actors regularly have to perform in musical segments after losing an award: Jane Krakowski, a nominee for featured actress in a musical, saw that prize go to Renée Elise Goldsberry and then went onstage in a perky medley from "She Loves Me."
Musical ensembles bring fireworks to the Tonys every time they appear – you virtually never see a dud song – and as Andrew Lloyd Webber noted, introducing the middle-schoolers who blasted through a song from "School of Rock," it's 100 percent live. (Sadly, not all the awards are live any more: "Minor" ones such as costumes and lighting get handed out off-camera. Those included Lifetime Achievement Awards for lyricist Sheldon Harnick and producer Marshall W. Mason.)
Between appearances, nominees even popped onto an impromptu stage outside the Beacon Theatre, singing numbers or bits of numbers from historic musicals for people who couldn't get tickets to the event inside. Let's see the Oscars match that.

by Ahmed Elmahy
Every morning the computer lab resembles a busy beehive. Some people go to the computer lab in the morning to play games, but a lot more go there in order to print out their homework. Almost everyone has been put in the position where they need to print something in the morning, whether it is because they don't have a printer at home or they just finished the assignment in the morning. In either case, most people who print at school come to the quick and universal conclusion that printing at school is far from dependable, and they usually have to go late to class in order to find a way to get their assignment printed. This printing issue is due to many reasons, and the school isn't completely to blame as students are also responsible for this dilemma; however, the school can take steps to help students come to class on time and help everyone get their things printed.
Students play a huge role in the printing delima. Some students find it amusing to print out unnecessary things such as notes or long assignments that are 10+ pages right when everyone else is trying to print, which causes the printer to malfunction. These long papers that they print out are usually either unnecessary or it is something that could have been shrunk down by a lot. Another issue arises when students, thinking that they didn't print something, start printing many copies of the same assignment and therefore waste both paper and the time of everyone else.
Now, let me explain the how the issue is partly the schools fault. First, there is the obvious issue of having two good, but overworked printers. Two printers that are connected to what seems like over 70 computers isn't going to get the job done, especially in the morning when there are 50 students trying to get their stuff printed out. It has become a regular occurrence for the printer to have so many things to print that it freezes and has to be restarted, therefore wasting time and forcing everyone to reprint. Paper jams are also an issue for when they occur, only one printer is working and the entire computer lab is depending on that one printer, which sadly isn't efficient nor any more reliable than the other jammed printer.
Stemming from the first issue, the second issue is that the school fails to maintain the printer's well. Usually when a printer malfunctions or runs out of paper, we don't find the right people to help us troubleshoot the problem; instead we are forced to try and print on the other printer with the knowledge that everyone will be using it, or to find a teacher that will allow us to print in their classroom.
This printing issue has one simple, and hopefully, efficient solution. That solution is to place more printers in the computer lab so there would be at least four printers in total for students to print from. These two extra printers should decrease the workload of the two original printers by half and result in everyone printing out what they need quicker. Not only that, but in the case of a printer malfunctioning, there would be three instead of one printer to cover the additional printing load. This solution would also help improve attendance records for many students go late to class because they were unable to get their homework printed out, and it would benefit everyone overall. All the school has to do is obtain two printers, which I don't think is quite difficult, and it would be rewarding for everyone.

Anywhere I can download these so I can put them on my itouch while I'm at work? I do 3rd shift (midnight - morning) and half the time there's never any customers at the registers...So I spend my time reading or studying. I'd love to catch up with the MMO this way
We don't offer download of these videos. Sorry!
Darn ;.; Thanks.
If anyone is still interested in watching these videos via iOS based devices this can be done with the help of SkyFire WebBrowser available for both all iOS devices for a low cost. Now I am not affiliated with the in any way and no advertisement was intended and if anyone feel this should not be posted please let me know and I'll ask for the post to be deleted.
I just consider this information to be useful as I find it useful to watch videos on the go .
The page you requested doesn't exist anymore, never existed, was moved to somewhere other than here, or was eaten by the Internet on its way to your computer.
If you believe that this page should exist and would like us to make it for you - drop us a line!
Thanks. Had been searching for MMO Videos for a long time.
Where can I find more MMO Videos and other related videos?
Mike, MMO by itself is a really big and deep concept, i was never successful on finding a complete video series that tell you how to build one from start to end, but 3D buzz pops videos on them sometimes slower sometimes faster, up until now, 3D buzz is the best place to follow for it. although there are sections of games that are not related to MMO only, for example, Inventory, questing, character movement and animations and lots of other stuff, any MMO developer would need to stitch these parts together on top of fundamental concepts for MMO like photon networking blah blah, so you still can find more training material all over the web for those mini systems.
If you want to learn something, start teaching about it to others, nothing will help you more than that !

In the time we are living in, it is up to you to take care of yourself and your career.
Artists used to hand their power over to executives in exchange for not having to deal with the business. Now It is a do-it-yourself industry. Because of this, it is more important than ever that you treat your career as a business.
The first thing you'll need to do is acknowledge the fact that you have started a business. What do you need to know about copyrighting, song splits, joining a P.R.O., documenting, pitching, collecting etc...?
Songs are your product. You create them, package them, market them, and sell them. No different than if you were making shoes.
Treat your company with the respect it deserves. Protect it legally, account it properly, and market and sell it wisely.
After being in a major record and publishing deal, almost 10 years ago, Lucy Woodard is now the CEO of her company. She leads her career successfully with a team she has put in place to help her in all aspects of her business.

I recently finished reading "A Crowd of One", by John Henry Clippinger, who is a senior fellow at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet and Society. Dr. Clippinger studies open identity and digital institutions, and his book is about the history of identity and where this is leading us in the future.
I'm going to make this book mandatory reading for all Galapag.us employees. It's excellent, and basically anticipates an open online reputation system, using the new identity layer applications that are in their early stages right now.
Negative Identity
The most interesting part of "A Crowd of One" to me was his talk of a "negative identity". Basically he defines a negative identity as organisms defining their individual identity by excluding outside groups. This is somewhat different than how organisms usually perceive identity formation, through actively choosing clothing or coloring or whatever, to make themselves different than others.
The whole line of explanation is a bit longer.
Clippinger starts by talking about the Harvard evolutionary biologist Richard Lewontin, who wrote of Darwin:
"Darwin's alienation of the outside from the inside was an absolutely essential step in the development of modern biology. Without it, we would still be wallowing in the mire of an obscurantist holism that merges the organic and the inorganic into an unanalyzable whole. But the conditions that are necessary for progress at one stage in history become bars to further progress at another. The time has come when further progress to or understanding of nature requires that we reconsider the relationship between the outside and the inside, between organism and environment…. But the claim that the environment of an organism is causally independent of the organism, and that changes in the environment are autonomous and independent of the changes in the species itself, is clearly wrong. It is bad biology, and every ecologist and evolutionary biologist knows that it is bad biology. The metaphor of adaptation, while once an important heuristic for building evolutionary theory, is now an impediment to a real understanding of the evolutionary process and needs to be replaced by another. Although all metaphors are dangerous, the actual process of evolution seems best captured by the process of construction." (page 152 in Clippinger's book, from Lewontin's "The Triple Helix")
Clippinger says that "every organism must have a rudimentary way of recognizing what is friend, foe, or food, and act on these differences." A good example is the human immune system. It doesn't know what actually does belong in your system, so doctors and scientists have come up with ways to trick the human body into accepting foreign organs and blood from donors, as long as they pass basic identity tests.
But when the body identifies something as "foreign", it attacks it relentlessly. Diabetes and multiple sclerosis are a result of autoimmune defenses destroying the body. The great influenza attack early in the 20th century succeeded in killing the healthiest, not the weakest, of our population because the healthiest peoples' bodies would promote such a response from their body to kill the pathogen that the body would die of exhaustion and drowning in fluids.
Clippinger goes on to say that perhaps social identity works the same way as biological identity. Groups that are ethnically similar and/or geographically close try to find elaborate ways to distinguish themselves from each other. Crips wear blue, Bloods wear red. Arabs and Jews, Tutsis and Hutus, Turks and Armenians. By all appearances (or maybe not), they should get along, but instead they fight even more violently than anyone else to find ways to look different.
Identity Tests
Clippinger talks throughout his book of two identity tests in society: merit-based and status-based. So certain people succeed because of their birth and upbringing bestowing upon them a certain lineage, family history, and reputation. Other people succeed because they have the best skills for the job.
Galapag.us I think is easier to explain in the latter sense: you enter in data about where you went to school, what you ate for your meals today, more of the quantitative stuff. This is somewhat verifiable and less tenuous; the tools for it are being built and are collectively called microstatistics or even microblogging or microsharing.
But I think the more interesting aspect of Galapag.us will be the status-based side. What will your friends say about you in public and then anonymously? Will people build strong and weak ties on Galapag.us to vouch for a person or to give them a recommendation? Will people enter in and verify other peoples' data, like a CDDB for people?
These systems can be gamed individually, through identity theft. Clippinger talks about a guy who managed to convince a lot of people that he was worthy of managing their money. He had all the appearances of being trust-worthy (good family, well-esteemed friends), but he did not have the requisite skills, and was later exposed. Hackers can steal your identity, your quantitative details, and run off with a lot of goods before you can call up your credit card company and they analyze your "status" to see if you normally make those purchases.
So if you combine the two different tests for a feedback system that accepts conversations and debates between an individual, the groups he's in, and outsiders, I think you'd get an extremely awesome identity system. That's my hope anyway.
So Clippinger's idea that part of future identity systems will be allowing for people by expressing their identity by claiming who they're not, instead of just who they are, is brilliant. And related to that, is this person not my friend, but actually someone I hate?
Don't Regulate Behavior, Just Protect Its Versatility
His final insight is that by identifying ourselves by who we're not rather than specifically who we are, it leaves our identities somewhat amorphous, flexible, and free to create and adapt. That is, if you're only given a few rules on what to do and what not to do, then everything else is therefore permissable.
This is quite compatible with trends towards forward-thinking approaches to governmental regulation. We want there to be basic protections of our freedoms, but not lengthy lists of what's allowed and what's not allowed. We want there to be copyright, but according to Lawrence Lessig in "Remix", we want to be able to opt in to copyright protection (i.e. every work is shareable upon creation unless copyright is specifically claimed), rather than how it is right now where everything is opt out (therefore anyone can claim a copyright after the fact, which is restrictive to creativity and innovation).
Anyway, fascinating stuff. I think Galapag.us will be huge. And Clippinger's "A Crowd of One" makes me even more confident in that.

Hyderabad, March 21:
Police in Andhra Pradesh Friday arrested a legislator of YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) for allegedly distributing valuables and cheques among voters.
Kapu Ramachandra Reddy, who is a member of assembly from Rayadurgam in Anantapur district, was arrested after searches at his house and also those of his aides.
Police conducted the searches after cricket kits, wall clocks, sarees, pressure cookers and cheques worth Rs.36 lakh were seized at a checkpost. The items were allegedly being transported from Bellary in Karnataka to Rayadurgam by Reddy's supporters.
According to police, the articles and cheques were meant for distribution among voters ahead of March 30 municipal elections.
Local police officials questioned Ramachandra Reddy and later produced him before a court.
YSRCP, however, has denied the allegations against Ramachandra Reddy. Its leaders met Director General of Police B. Prasada Rao here to complain about the "illegal" arrest. They said Rayadurgam police acted out of vengeance towards Reddy.

On the trail of one of the rarest (not to mention weirdest) birds on earth, one man finds himself unwittingly sucked into the obsessive world of extreme birding
Author STEPHAN TALTY
We'd been looking for the white-rumped swift for three hours when John Muddeman told me the story of the orthopedic surgeon. Muddeman, a transplanted Brit who looks like a healthier Sean Penn, lives outside Madrid, a city that bills itself as one of the birding capitals of Europe. He's been guiding birders for 30 years, and eight years ago he cofounded the eco-tourism outfit Iberian Wildlife Tours. He'll take you on insect expeditions, wildflower jaunts and rabbit hops, but his main love is birds, as even the briefest of conversations with him will make clear.
Birds, he'll say. Birds, birds, birds.
Recently, on a blisteringly hot day, Muddeman took me to the foothills of the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains, 40 kilometers north of Madrid, in search of a very elusive species: the white-rumped swift.
Though relatively common in sub-Saharan Africa, the swift is a rarity in this part of the world. In fact, there have been only two sightings in the last 50 years. But elusiveness isn't its only appeal: The white-rumped swift is also a very weird bird. It can remain airborne for years at a time, feeding and sleeping on the wing. Half a million miles might go by before it alights. Muddeman swore this is true. "They are," he said, "aerodynamic machines of the first order."
Yeah, I'd like to see one of those.
I should say here that I'm not into birding. Birding is for people who wear many-pocketed shorts and rough woolen socks, people who know how to make nettle tea. I don't even own a pair of binoculars. So, as Muddeman started to tell me the story of the orthopedic surgeon, an American client he guided a few years back, my only thought was: This guy sounds kind of nuts. And by most standards, he kind of was.
Birders are, by nature, acquisitive creatures. They are especially fond of creating checklists — birds they've seen, birds they haven't. It's when birders get down to the last three or four unseen species that things can get strange. This is when the diehards tend to become afflicted by what people in the game call List Fever.
The orthopedic surgeon had it. Muddeman picked the man up at his Madrid hotel and was immediately subjected to a litany of demands. There were seven birds on the surgeon's wish list, at the top of which stood the great spotted cuckoo. Despite years of intense searching, the American explained, the cuckoo had eluded him. It wasn't so much the man's words that worried Muddeman as the look that accompanied them. A look that could best be described as fearful.
It was the tail end of summer when the two men set out late in the Spanish season for the great spotted cuckoo, which favors Africa in the winter months. Many of the migratory species were beginning to fly south. Getting the cuckoo would be big. Capital B big. Muddeman, a gentle, low-key man by nature, listened to the surgeon's aspirations with a sense of quiet foreboding.
As the hot sun beat down, the two men tore over the local foothills, training their binoculars on crevices and listening intently for the bird's distinctive call: cher-cher-kri-kri. By the end of the second day, they'd knocked most of the species off the surgeon's list, but the great spotted cuckoo was nowhere to be seen, and between his precisely timed power naps in the car, the surgeon was getting more and more uptight.
"I'll never get it!" he screamed at one point. His tone was accusatory, as if the guide had somehow contrived to kidnap the last great spotted cuckoo in Spain and was holding it against its will.
As he recalled the trip, Muddeman's knuckles grew white on the steering wheel; he hates to disappoint a client. But now it was happening again. We'd been prowling the outskirts of Madrid for hours, looking in vain for the white-rumped swift, and I was beginning to understand how the surgeon felt.
The swift was my great spotted cuckoo.
WHEN IT COMES TO obsession, the orthopedic surgeon was very much in the minor leagues. The real players are the so-called Big Listers: birders who have made a solemn vow to lay eyes on every single one of earth's 7,000 or so species. The number of people who have actually achieved this goal is about the same as those who have walked on the moon. These are not your weekend dabblers. These are the guys who disappear into the jungle and reemerge weeks or months later proclaiming they've spotted the last surviving ivory-billed woodpecker. Or, just as often, they get divorced, lose their homes and end up never finding the object of their desire.
The white-rumped swift is a bird for extreme birders, if only because it's also kind of nuts. For one thing, this bird doesn't go for building nests. Instead, it invades the homes of another species, the red-rumped swallow, fighting and bickering until its victim flies away in terror. There are stories of people finding white-rumped swifts lying on the ground with their claws death-locked into the flesh of an opponent.
I wanted one.
Three hours into our hunt, however, running into one of these thuggish birds was looking like an increasingly unlikely prospect. I was hot, parched and sulky.
"John, do you really think we'll find it?" I asked as we trudged back to the car after another failed bid.
"I don't know," he said. "I've looked for it very, very hard with no luck."
For 14 years, he'd looked for it. We jumped into his little Citroën. I turned away and stared out the window at flocks of non-swifts.
OVER THE COURSE of our day together, Muddeman taught me how to look at birds. It's not only coloring and size, he said brightly, but things like "hand" — the position of the end of the wing — and the attitude of the head. The bird we were looking for is small and black, with oversize wings and a fringe of white striping at the base of its tail. To the untrained eye, it looks almost exactly like the house martin, except on the martin the white continues all the way up the belly.
Muddeman can spot the difference at 200 yards. And if he doesn't see a bird, he'll hear it. Sixty percent of the birds he spots are found by sound alone. It also helps to be able to identify a nest, he said. A telltale mark of a white-rumped swift's is a rim of white feathers at its opening. "We're not sure why they do that," he said. "But they come into the nest at high speed in the dark, so it might be like a set of lights on an aircraft carrier."
We made our way to a huge reservoir. Fish lazed in the dark green bowl of water and birds fluttered overhead. This rocky, sloping landscape, Muddeman said, is precisely the kind of environment that attracts the red-rumped swallow — and so, potentially, the White-rumped Swift.
Sure enough, there they were: dozens of the apparently unmolested swallows, feeding in the air and swooping down to their cliffside nests. These were joined by a few black house martins that seemed to be toying with us, looking enticingly like our birds until they flipped over to reveal their white bellies. No swifts.
We returned to the sweltering car and headed back toward Madrid, necks craned to look up through the windshield, like UFO hunters. "It's really a one-in-a-million shot," Muddeman sighed.
He glanced up.
"A nice Imperial Eagle over there."
I nodded and brought up my binoculars. It was indeed a Spanish imperial eagle, big and impressive, with a downward hand that made it look like an American hawk.
We spent two more hours crisscrossing hills and skirting small towns, peering into every passing stone structure, culvert and bridge. Muddeman pointed to a pod-like bunker 30 yards from the road.
"That'd be a good spot," he said, pulling over.
"What is it?"
"Civil War bunker."
I tramped over and peered inside one of the thin gun slits, seeing nothing but pitted concrete and tangled weeds in the gloomy interior. No white feathers. I took a few steps back and imagined half-starved Spanish Republicans charging the bunker with their bayonets flashing in the sun, the Nationalists hunkered down, waiting for the moment to fire. It struck me then that birdwatching isn't only about watching birds. This bunker wasn't on my list, but it was worth looking at.
Our journey was coming to an end. As dusk approached, we headed for a large rocky outcrop called the Peña de Cadalso. Small birds circled the hill's stony top, riding the currents, catching bugs and aerial plankton as the hot air pushed them up the slope.
"I'll be damned!" Muddeman cried after about two minutes. "There it is, right there."
"You're lying. Where?!"
"There, right below the big cloud, at about 1,200 meters. It's moving to the left. Fast."
The blue sky dipped in my binoculars as I scanned the air. Swallow, swallow, house martin. And then I saw it. The black bird was shooting to the east and the base of its tail flashed white. Muddeman was laughing manically. "Bloody hell! That's brilliant!"
We clapped each other on the back and grinned at people in passing cars. I brought up the glasses again and followed the bird as it looped overhead; then we spotted its mate. Not only had we claimed the third Madrid sighting in nearly 50 years, but Muddeman suspected that the white-rumped swift was actually nesting here, claiming new territory.
"People will be rushing out here from Madrid," he shouted before getting on the phone to call his partner. I could hear a voice whooping on the other end of the line.
As we drove back to the city, Muddeman told me the epilogue to the surgeon story. The next day, with the disappointed birder on a plane back to the U.S., the guide picked up another client, and they drove into the hills. The first bird that flapped lazily across their path?
The great spotted cuckoo.
STEPHAN TALTY, who currently lives in Madrid, is working on a book about the British double agent and World War II hero Juan Pujol Garcia, a.k.a. "Garbo."
I love this story. It's so much fun to write and read about a hunt for something illusive. It's why I run my fingers through the sand every time I'm at the beach. Found a shark's tooth once. Good job! Nice illustration too!

A beloved favorite of home and property owners, purple martins feed enormously on irritating mosquitoes. A group of martins living on your property can transform your backyard into a comfortable, itch-free oasis. However, to attract and keep martins on your property, you must ensure you create comfortable quarters for martins. This includes providing the martin with an ideally sized home entrance hole.
Professionals offer varying opinions on the proper size hole to provide for martin birdhouses. Professionals at Wild-Bird-Watching.com recommend a hole diameter between 1 3/4 inches and 2 1/4 inches, while professionals at AttractWildBirds.com recommend holes sized at exactly 2 1/4 inches.
Professionals at AmishGourds.com recommend a special crescent shape for purple martin houses, whether made from gourds or wooden boxes. Amish Gourds recommends a "D" shaped entrance hole with the flat end along the bottom, measuring 3 inches long with the top of the curve a total distance of 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the opening.
Specially sized and shaped entrance holes for purple martins prevent enemy and predator birds from entering the martins' home. The crescent shaped holes recommended by Amish Gourds are meant to resist starling birds, a natural enemy of the martin.

Barbour orders state offices closed for third day
Gove. Haley Barbour has ordered state offices in Jackson to remain closed today due to the continuing lack of water pressure citywide.
Barbour urged agency heads to decide whether key personnel in their agencies should report to work and to notify them accordingly; otherwise, state offices in Jackson will be closed, the governor's office said in a press release.
State offices have been closed since Monday when broken water lines disrupted service, causing a threat to health and safety.
State offices in Jackson will be without water service today and state computer servers, which use a water cooling system to avoid over-heating, will be shut down.

For the first time, the American Heart Association (AHA) is recommending 24-hour BP monitoring for certain children and adolescents with high or suspected high BP. Hypertension is associated with organ damage even in children. The AHA recommendations are based on expert opinion rather than scientific evidence because data on the benefits of 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) in children aren't yet available. But studies have shown that in adults, ABPM is more reliable than outpatient monitoring at predicting cardiovascular death and disability.
The AHA recommends using ABPM to rule out white coat hypertension and masked hypertension. It can also reveal if a child's BP drops during sleep and help clinicians gauge a child's response to antihypertensive medication.

PARIS (Reuters) - Antoine Arnault, one of LVMH (LVMH.PA) Chairman and CEO Bernard Arnault's five children and an executive in charge of several brands at the luxury group, will oversee communications and image issues at the company, according to an internal memo.
LVMH, the world's biggest luxury conglomerate and owner of labels such as Louis Vuitton and Christian Dior, has long been tightly run by the Arnault family and its patriarch, who built up the group through acquisitions.
The latest appointment adds to Antoine Arnault's public profile. Communications had previously fallen under the remit of Nicolas Bazire, in charge of development and acquisitions and managing director of Groupe Arnault, the family holding company that has a 47 percent stake in LVMH.
The group made the change at a time of "increased exposure", including from public authorities and on social media, Bernard Arnault said in the internal memo seen by Reuters.
Antoine Arnault, 41 - CEO of LVMH's Berluti, known for its high-end men's shoes, and chairman of luxury cashmere label Loro Piana - was already behind some communications initiatives at the group. They included organizing "open days" for the public at some brands.
Most of Bernard Arnault's other children also work at LVMH. Daughter Delphine, 43, is number two at mega-brand Vuitton, the group's biggest revenue driver. Son Alexandre, 26, runs German luggage brand Rimowa, which LVMH bought in 2016, and Frederic, 23, is head of connected technologies at watch brand Tag Heuer.
The youngest son, Jean, is still a student.
Asked on several occasions which of his children was likely to succeed him, Bernard Arnault has always said the job would go to the most capable and the one who could combine business acumen with creative flair, without giving a name.
