Navigating Digital Transformation in Government
This study is derived from a survey of IT decision makers around the world across multiple industries. It provides insightful information on what drives investment in IT solutions, the IT-related challenges that organizations face today, and most importantly, plans for IT budgets. Technologies covered include Enterprise Mobility Management, Social Media Management & Marketing Tools, eCommerce/mCommerce, Unified Communications & Collaboration, Infrastructure and Data Centers, Big Data and Analytics, Digital Marketing, Customer Experience Management, Cybersecurity, Internet of Things (M2M), ERP/Supply Chain Management/HR Management. There is section on Internet of Things that explores drivers, challenges, and different phases of implementation. End user companies will be able to benchmark themselves with regard to IT investments while IT companies will learn how to gain a competitive advantage over the next few years.
Governments around the world are going through a digital transformation, although they are in various stages of implementation. The more innovative regions are creating smart cities where infrastructure, energy, transportation, and public safety are digitized to improve efficiency and communications and improve the lives and economies of their communities.
The top IT challenges for respondents are dealing with security threats, ensuring network stability and reliability, and procuring sufficient IT budget – especially in the face of skeptical executives.
This year, top drivers for IT investments include improving productivity, reducing operational costs, and attracting and retaining a competitive workforce. However, in two years, governments will also be focused on boosting creativity and innovation and improving the customer experience.
Today, the most commonly deployed IT tools focus on cyber security, back-office applications, and the customer experience. This suggests government agencies are still catching up to their enterprise counterparts, which are generally focused on more leading-edge tools like social media and the Internet of Things (IoT).
However, agencies that use big data and analytics say these tools have the biggest impact on revenues. They look to invest in infrastructure and data centers to help reduce costs across the organization.

Spend five minutes at any playground and you're guaranteed to see kids perched atop the monkey bars or leaping over the side of the twisty slide. Well, if you're at the playground with my son, anyway.
Most kids are natural thrill seekers. Some manipulate their average surroundings to give them the excitement and risk that they are so hungry for. Others take it to the next level.
In the 1990s, she says, a program introduced Norwegian teenagers with drug problems to sky diving and other extreme activities. After that, they committed fewer drug offenses, fared better in school and reported being happier. In a later study of 360 high schoolers, Sandseter and a colleague found that those who said their parents encouraged things like rock climbing and kayaking were less prone to criminal and antisocial behaviors like speeding, stealing and vandalism. "If you've grown up with a lot of experiences with risky play, this teenage period will be more manageable, you'll be more realistic in your risk assessment," Sandseter says.
But, how risky is too risky?

Following infection, naïve CD8+ T cells bearing pathogen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) differentiate into a mixed population of short-lived effector and long-lived memory T cells to mediate an adaptive immune response. How the TCR regulates memory T cell development has remained elusive. Using a mutant TCR transgenic model, we found that point mutations in the TCR β transmembrane domain (βTMD) impair the development and function of CD8+ memory T cells without affecting primary effector T cell responses. Mutant T cells are deficient in polarizing the TCR and in organizing the nuclear factor κB signal at the immunological synapse. Thus, effector and memory states of CD8+ T cells are separable fates, determined by differential TCR signaling.
It is unclear what determines whether a primed T cell will differentiate into an effector cell and die or will survive and become a long-lived memory cell. Several studies support a linear differentiation model, where memory T cells are descendents of effector cells that differentiate into a memory lineage after antigen has been cleared (1, 2). However, memory T cells have been shown to arise directly from naïve cells, bypassing the effector stage (3–5). This second group of studies suggests that signaling differences may determine the fate of naïve T cells upon infection.
Proinflammatory cytokine signals can favor the generation of effectors versus the development of memory T cells after infection (6, 7). It has also been suggested that cumulative TCR stimulation is required for the generation of memory (8). Other studies have shown that a short period of TCR stimulation is sufficient for programming CD8+ T cells to differentiate into memory cells (9, 10). Differentiation and longevity of memory CD4+ T cells are dependent on high functional avidities to complete the memory program (11). Several studies have considered the importance of the T cell–APC (antigen-presenting cell) interface in determining the fate of naïve T cells (5, 12). However, much less is known about how and which TCR signals contribute to T cell memory development.
The TCR β-chain transmembrane domain (βTMD) contains a conserved antigen receptor transmembrane (CART) motif (13). The CART motifs in membrane immunoglobulin and in the TCR β chain are involved in the segregation of B cell and CD4+ T cell functions (13–15). We generated OT-1 TCR transgenic mice expressing a point mutation in the βTMD, where the most carboxy-terminal tyrosine residue of the CART motif was replaced by a leucine (CART15 Y→L) (16, 17). TCR expression on mutant T cells was slightly decreased, but the mutant TCR-CD3 complex composition was unaltered (fig. S1). T cell maturation and homeostasis in βTMD mutant mice (βTMDmut) were normal (fig. S1). The OT-1 and βTMDmut OT-1 TCRs recognize the ovalbumin peptide 257 to 264 (OVAp) bound to H–2Kb (18). No differences were found when wild-type (WT) and mutant T cells were compared for OVA tetramer (OVAtet) binding and OVAp responsiveness (fig. S1). Thus, the point mutation in βTMD did not affect the ability of the TCR to recognize and respond to ligand.
Next, we studied the capacity of mutant T cells to respond to antigen in vitro. WT and mutant T cells were similar for expression of CD25, CD69, and Fas. However, mutant cells were defective in Fas ligand (FasL) expression (Fig. 1A), similar to Jurkat and murine CD4+ T cells, which was linked to impaired nuclear factor–κB (NF-κB) signaling (14, 15). We tested βTMDmut T cells for defects in the activation of this or other TCR signaling pathways. Nuclear translocation and DNA binding of NF-κB were greatly diminished in mutant T cells (Fig. 1, B and C, and fig. S2). However, neither extracellular signal–regulated kinase (ERK), nor c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation, nor Ca2+ mobilization was impaired (Fig. 1D).
To study effector development of βTMDmut T cells, low numbers (50 to 500) of CD45.2+ WT or mutant naïve T cells were transferred into congenic CD45.1+ recipient mice, followed by infection with recombinant Listeria monocytogenes–expressing OVA (LM-OVA). WT and βTMDmut transgenic T cells responded equivalently to LM-OVA, in terms of phenotype, kinetics, and function; this response was also similar to that of the endogenous OVA-responding CD8+ T cell population (Fig. 2A). At the peak of the primary response, WT and mutant T cells exhibited identical effector phenotypes (CD62low, interleukin receptor IL-7Rlow, CD43high, CD27int, granzymeBhigh, IL-2low) (Fig. 2B). On restimulation, interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor–α (TNF-α) expression were similar for both, which indicated that βTMDmut T cells were normal in their effector functions (Fig. 2C). Analogous results were obtained when higher numbers of WT or mutant naïve T cells were used and after OVAp-LPS (lipopolysaccharide) immunization. Mutant and WT T cells were equally efficient at killing in vivo (fig. S3). In addition, there were no differences in CD45.1+ endogenous responders, WT, or mutant numbers at the peak of the primary immune response in LM-OVA–infected mice (Fig. 2D).
To study the expansion, contraction, and memory phases of the CD8+ T cell response, we examined lymphocytes from mice that received low numbers of WT or mutant naïve cells and then were infected with LM-OVA (Fig. 3A). βTMDmut T cells expanded and contracted with kinetics resembling those of WT cells. However, by day 13 to 14, mutant T cells numbers were severely reduced, whereas WT cell numbers contracted more slowly (Fig. 3A). Stable numbers of WT memory T cells were detected by day 46. In contrast, mutant memory cell numbers were at the limit of detection, although similar numbers of endogenous OVA-specific memory CD8+ T cells were generated (Fig. 3B). Clonal competition can affect differentiation and survival of T cells (19). To check this possibility, we gave mice higher numbers (105 to 106) of mutant naïve cells and primed them with LM-OVA or OVAp-LPS. Neither condition induced efficient generation of mutant memory T cells (fig. S3). Thus, although mutant T cells differentiated into effectors normally, their memory development was defective. Interleukin receptors IL-15R and IL-7R, important for the survival of CD8+ memory (20), were equally expressed on both cell types (fig. S3), which indicated that the defect in generating memory T cells was not based solely on competition for survival signals. Thus, the induction of a distinct set of TCR signals, absent in the mutant T cells, is likely required for memory generation.
To compare the functional properties of WT and βTMDmut memory T cells, we tested their ability to mount recall responses. Mice into which low numbers of WT or mutant naïve T cells were previously transferred were reinfected 46 to 50 days post LM-OVA infection. Compared with WT, βTMDmut memory T cells responded poorly to secondary challenge (Fig. 3C). In experiments performed with higher numbers of transferred T cells, mutant memory T cells were deficient in CD25, leukocyte function–associated antigen–1 (LFA-1), granzyme B, and FasL expression; in CD62L down-regulation; and in IFN-γ and TNF-α expression and secretion (Fig. 3D and fig. S4). βTMDmut memory T cells were also impaired in their cytotoxicity, and they failed to generate a secondary memory pool (fig. S4). Therefore, mutant memory T cells were severely compromised, not only in their numbers but also in their ability to mount secondary responses.
The programming of memory T cell differentiation was tested during the final stages of the primary response. In experiments with LM-OVA, mutant T cells were almost undetectable from day 10 to day 13 after primary immunization (Fig. 3A). However, when we used higher precursor frequencies and immunization with OVAp-LPS, the development of mutant memory T cells could be followed throughout the contraction phase (days 11 and 20). At the peak of the response, WT and mutant cells responded similarly upon antigenic rechallenge. However, by day 11 and day 20, rechallenged mutant T cells were impaired in their expression of several activation, cytolytic, and antiapoptotic proteins (fig. S3). This, together with the fact that mutant cell numbers did not stabilize at the end of the contraction phase (Fig. 3A), strongly indicates that naïve mutant T cells were defective in memory differentiation. Furthermore, considering that mutant cells behaved normally during the primary response, these data suggest that the TCR signals required for generating effector and memory T cells are distinct.
We tested another mutation within the CART motif of the βTMD domain by generating OT-1 TCR transgenic mice with a βTMD mutation in which Ala16 was replaced by Asn (CART16A→N). βTMD(A→N) T cells were also selectively impaired in memory development, confirming the βTMD (Y→L) phenotype (fig. S5).
To better understand the TCR signals required for memory development, we analyzed some of the biochemical properties of the mutant TCR in memory T cells. Tetramer-binding assays showed that TCRs expressed on WT and mutant memory T cells have similar ligand affinities (Fig. 4A). When stimulated with OVAtet- or OVAp-pulsed APCs, both memory cell types were equally able to mobilize calcium (Fig. 4B). Consequently, the mutant TCR was not blunted in recognizing antigen or in delivering some of the early signals in the context of a memory T cell.
T cells interacting with APCs form conjugates and concentrate signaling molecules at the immunological synapse (IS), which dictates the fate of a naïve T cell (5, 12). It is noteworthy that WT and mutant T cells were similar in maintaining stable interactions with OVAp-pulsed APCs (figs. S7 to S11). Additionally, proteins important for conjugate formation like LFA-1 and Scribble were polarized to the IS (fig. S7). However, the enrichment of the mutant TCR in the IS (Fig. 4C) and the percentage of mutant T cells polarizing their TCR (fig. S6) were greatly reduced. Because mutant naïve T cells were impaired in NF-κB induction (Fig. 1C) and the βTMD mutant TCR was unable to properly polarize to the IS (Fig. 4C), we hypothesized that assembly of NF-κB signal at the synapse may be affected. As protein kinase C, isoform θ (PKC-θ), is required for NF-κB activity and colocalizes with the TCR in the IS, we studied the recruitment of PKC-θ to the IS. PKC-θ enrichment within the IS was evident by 15 min in WT cells. However, PKC-θ was not efficiently recruited to the IS until 60 min of stimulation in mutant cells (Fig. 4C). Nevertheless, this did not rescue the induction of NF-κB (Fig. 1C). βTMD(A→N) mutant T cells showed a similar phenotype (fig. S5). Together these data emphasize the role of βTMD in polarizing the TCR within the IS and in inducing NF-κB signals required to generate efficient memory T cells.
It has been unclear whether the TCR generates similar signals for the development of effector and memory T cells. Our results and others' (3–5) suggest that effector and memory differentiation require a different set of signals. Our data are consistent with a two-lineage model where memory or effector development is determined very early during the immune response by coordinating the recruitment of fate-determining proteins at the level of the IS.
Our studies suggest that different T cell programs are triggered by qualitatively distinct TCR signals, which implies that unique signaling pathways are important for T cell memory development. Several molecules, such as B cell lymphoma–6 (Bcl-6), the B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA), and methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), are selectively important for memory development but not for effector differentiation (21–23). Along the same lines, mutant T cells are uniquely defective in memory development and NF-κB signaling. Several studies have reported a role for members of the NF-κB signaling pathway in memory development (24, 25).
Our studies emphasize the importance of the TCR in regulating the NF-κB signal required for memory development. We show here that effector and memory programming can be dissociated by the induction of a different arrangement of TCR signals in CD8+ T cells. Studying how these TCR signals are modulated by inflammatory signals or CD4+ help will be important in the design of better vaccination regimes.

At a time when so many in this country are more needy than they ever have been......
At the back entrance on 35th Street, awaiting trash haulers, were bags of garments that appear to have never been worn. And to make sure that they never would be worn or sold, someone had slashed most of them with box cutters or razors, a familiar sight outside H & M's back door.
It is winter. A third of the city is poor. And unworn clothing is being destroyed nightly.
A few doors down on 35th Street, hundreds of garments tagged for sale in Wal-Mart — hoodies and T-shirts and pants — were discovered in trash bags the week before Christmas, apparently dumped by a contractor for Wal-Mart that has space on the block.
Each piece of clothing had holes punched through it by a machine.

The following post is only relevant for people using WordPress.
Ok. So, let's say you read a blog post, and you want to comment on that post on your own blog. So, you write your post and include a link back to the original post. When you publish the post, WordPress sends what's called a pingback to the other blog, letting it know that you linked to it. This pingback shows up in the comments section so readers reading that article can click on to yours and read your response.
Enter Gravatars. These are avatars that follow you whereever you go online so if you comment on a blog and enter your information, it will automatically retrieve your Gravatar (if the blog has the feature enabled). Beside every comment you leave, your own custom icon is displayed.
Well, I discovered that when a blog sends a pingback to another blog that has Gravatars enabled, a generic placeholder shows up. No good! When my blog sends a pingback, I want my Gravatar to show up, just as if I had left a comment.
Well, if you own a WordPress blog, there's a very simple way to make sure that your Gravatar appears when your blog sends a pingback. To make YOUR Gravatar appear on the blog you're pinging, you need to do the following: (more…)
I started this blog in November of 2007 and decided to use Movable Type as my engine. It appeared to the geeky web designer in me. Over the past few months I've become unsatisfied with Movable Type. Every time I set up a blog for a friend or a client, I use WordPress because it's very fast for me to setup and skin, and is easy for the client to use. When I decided to setup my own blog, I mistook this intuitive quality to also mean a lack of robustness.
I was wrong.
My reasoning was that since Movable Type is so complicated with so many layers and so much back-end (the Movable Type installation package is four times the size of WordPress') it must be better and more highly configurable. My experience has been that the opposite is actually true!
Here are several advantages I found in WordPress that eventually made me switch:
Of course one of the biggest advantages of WordPress is the speed and ease of installation. It's a brilliant platform and I'm glad to be on the WordPress train!
P.S. I should add that migration was extremely simple. The only snag I hit was making sure that all my old Movable Type links would point to the new WordPress pages. You have to keep Google happy and since I only have 30 posts at the time of this article, I just opted to do a manual htaccess redirect for each link.

Without a doubt, 2019 was a defining year for UNFPA Kenya. This the year where UNFPA footprints were firmly on the ground in Kenya. It was indeed the year where the Country Office's activities took on a sharper trajectory, not only in terms of real impact among communities, but also in visibility among bilateral and multilateral partners.This was a year characterized by intensified efforts to engage new partners as well as keeping up the momentum of policy and advocacy on country programme areas. And as clearly captured in this parliamentary newsletter, 2019 was the year when the footprint of UNFPA Kenya ensured a tangible differences in the lives of women, girls and young people in readiness for the ICPD25.

Need a strong man
Jayson 5 Comments. For example, if you are married, your wife will teach you about pain and show you where you are weak. You might think the grass is greener somewhere else. Then, you may leave your wife whilst pointing the finger at her, or she may eventually leave you.SEE VIDEO BY TOPIC: I Need a Strong Man (The To-To Song) (Young, Gifted and Black Outtake)

A strong man for a strong woman, or What Alphas need in a relationship
One of the biggest complaints I get these days from women is about men who tend to slowly back away after they realize how strong and independent the woman they are dating is. Now, I am well aware that many women out there confuse being strong with abrasive, and independent with apathetic. That all being said, though, there are still genuine, caring, loving women out there who are still strong and live their own life.
They have their own hopes, dreams, and ambitions — but they want a teammate beside them as they accomplish all they set out to. They understand that personal power is not about not needing someone, but about the ability to set standards and only welcome the people into their life who meet the bar.
They want to support you as you support her in return. But, it takes the right type of man to recognize, and be comfortable with this type of woman. For both men and women, being with someone who is much less motivated in life than you are is going to cause tension in the relationship.
One will not understand why the other works so hard. He or she will get aggravated when you have to put in extra hours on that Friday night. A man who will be comfortable with a woman who is driven and ambitious will need to be on a similar path for himself in order to understand and appreciate her hustle. A man who constantly needs reassurance or validation from the woman he is dating will likely not find what he needs if he pursues a woman who is strong and independent.
She will be secure and confident in herself and want the man she is with to be the same. Women who are focused on their own mission and path in life are not taking time out of their day to look for validation from others. They are living in the moment and are too busy to bother caring what other people are thinking.
A man who is going to date this type of woman has to work with her on what is kept between the two of them and what is exposed to the public. In the social media generation, privacy is hard to come by — but for a relationship with a mature, independent woman to work in the long run, it still has to be made a priority.
No man should ever be abrasive or disrespectful to the woman in his life [or anyone], but honesty and integrity is still an important part of making a relationship work.
A man who is a ball of mush will never be able to hold the attention of a strong woman, because she will walk all over him and he will never give her the stability that she needs. The type of man who will fit well with a woman of this caliber will know when to be flexible with her and when to stand his ground.
She will respect him more for it. A man who still romances her. A man who is chivalrous and respectful. A man who understands that a woman can be independent and should still be treated as a lady. Possessive overbearing men are kryptonite to strong women.
Smothering or coming on too strong to this type of woman is the quickest way to ensure that you push her away immediately.
She works best with a man who lives his own life alongside hers, not one that tries to intertwine the two. This means respecting and valuing her opinions as well as openly telling her his own. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.
Men and women who are strong and secure in themselves will have no problem standing behind their partner when support is required. They will not betray your trust or discourage you from living the life you want to live. The right type of man for a strong woman will know when to stand in front of her when she needs protection, behind her when she needs support, and beside her when she wants a teammate. Despite the hard outer shell some strong women display, they are still human beings who experience every emotion.
Nobody wants to be stern or serious all the time, particularly those with high pressure jobs or a stressful lifestyle. A man who can lighten the mood at just the right times will not only be a great lover, but a great best friend. Finding a balance that allows a relationship to flourish when two strong independent people come together is tricky.
Men need to understand that they can be with a woman who lives her own life and not sacrifice any of his own masculinity. And women need to understand that being strong and independent does not have to mean being overbearing or abrasive. Men and women are both equally worthy of respect without needing to prove their dominance over each other. The best teams are made up of people who fill the puzzle pieces of the other. Who work well together and respect each others strengths while balancing out their weaknesses.

Click here to learn the 5 keys to increasing your chances of finding Mr. I think women, and men for that matter, need to be strong enough to risk vulnerability in order to have true connection. If love, trust, and respect have developed, a strong woman needs to open herself to say what she feels, needs, and wants to have any chance of getting it.
I agree with Jessica as well. If a woman really is strong and independant then they wont be afraid to say what they and ask for help if they need it. More bullshit in a materialist age. Reblogged this on Waiting for Prince Charming and commented: Wonderfully written article! I enjoyed this thoroughly!!!
And YES, take the reigns! Maybe a better word could have been used. What utter bullcrap!! Agreed, this is all fluff and junk. The entire article is actually condescending at the same time as telling others too never be condescending. The market must be huge for this sort of thing, as the choir sure seems to love listening to the preaching. James writes posts geared to women and men individually as well as ones that applies to both.
This one was geared to men. As a strong woman myself, I have to agree with these as important criteria when determining whether I want to get or stay involved with a man.
This is just one side of the coin — it is not a one way street of just taking. What it looks like from the other side depends on what type of man is in the picture. Posts like this are not written towards men, they are written for and to women. The entire point of a post like this is to have women agree and nod… Even your own post here shows that this article was written for you…. Oh please.
This article was written for women. No wonder serial monogamy is so popular. Who can live like that? How about relaxing and just being yourself instead of putting on some huge fake Romantic Comedy style song and dance every single day? If this is all utter crap, then what would you recommend as a counter? Rather it is that these are somehow traits that men uniquely need to handle strong women.
They are simple points that apply to everyone, all the time. In other words nothing here is specific to how a man is to handle a strong woman. Remove the idea of powerful women and men who are up to par with their standards. It makes valid points that any man looking to better treat the women in his life can utilize. It does provide relevant points that men should be more aware of while in any relationship. It will not provide the initiative, engagement, or motivation that is required to instill real change.
At best, it allows every reader to conclude with their own thoughts through introspection. There is no black and white, right and wrong here, there is what you chose to perceive.
Please refrain from being so negative and derogatory. Same goes for you Scott. No need to be so argumentative. Men would abandon their wives and girlfriends, leaving them to raise kids all by themselves.
The women were often strong, independent, caring, and demonstrated a good balance of male and female traits that led to most of the men in the family to treat their future girlfriends and wives with respect and equality later on. Reblogged this on Unashamed; This is me. While I was in agreement with pretty much the […]. I would add that he steps up and can take care of things on the home front — there are women like this who are moms as well and need a partner who can manage things at home while they accomplish at work.
If a woman is so obsessed with her career, she should not have kids in the first place. This also goes for men, aliens, and imaginary friends. Strong Communicator does not equal mind reader.
I am not now and never will be. You have something you need from me or issue with something come out an say it. Being able to be honest with your partner and express your feelings clearly is what makes a strong communicator. LOVE this — so spot on. My husband left his job 3 years ago to pursue his music career and is doing quite well , but only because he is strong enough to accept that his wife is the breadwinner, respect me for that, and support the family in the other ways I need him to with this change such as being kid taxi, doing laundry, etc.
We are a strong team, but would never be here if he could not handle being with a driven, ambitious wife. One peeve with the article — myriad is an adjective, not a noun. Most make that mistake, but my high school English teacher drilled that into me! Reblogged this on the Flux and commented: This is exactly what I feel.
It Would Take a Strong Strong Man
For one reason or another, it seems like the best women out there often inexplicably end up with abusers, cheaters, and losers. You might even have noticed someone who fits that bill that just decided to give up dating. Ever wonder why strong women always seem to struggle so much when finding healthy relationships? When finding a spouse, most men do not really care about the traits of strength and success women do.

Strong Women Deserve (Emotionally) Strong Men
Strong Man [Jeff in C Minor]. How to Grow up Big and Strong. When Daddy Was a Strong Man. Don't Do Too Much.
Most men find it challenging to date strong and independent women. They often see them as intimidating which is not always true. A strong woman only seems intimidating to men who are weaker than them. This is because men who only talk without actions can offer nothing to independent women. She expects actions and substance. She needs a partner who is capable of giving her love, attention, and respect as much as she gives him.
The Love of a Strong Man
Strong women are beautifully strong and powerful. They are beautiful creatures that many men admire from afar, but only very few are brave enough to date them. Strong women have endured many battles that broke them but they learned to pick themselves up and never gave up. Their spirits are brave, their hearts are as strong as a stone on the outside but also soft on the inside. Their skin has grown thick from the many hits that they took. Strong women got their strength by climbing out of dark and deep pits. They have walked miles in treacherous forests but always found their way out. They are strong because they are survivors.
What does she need me for? It was him who was full of questions — mainly of How to handle her power? Alphas are impressive people — they know what they want and how to achieve it, and then they remember how much effort it cost them.

The Anacortes Arts Festival is unveiling its 2020 poster by local artist Jessica Lynch of Slow Loris at the Anacortes First Friday Gallery walk on February 7. The reveal event will take place at Johnny Picassos, 501 Commercial Avenue from 6 – 9 p.m. Posters will be available for purchase and the artist will be on hand to sign them. There will also be refreshments and an opportunity to create a craft project.
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will "star" in many of my journal entries.

Almost like a wow druid where you would have a buff that would give yo max str etc. Ohh the possibilities they can do with a Wizard!

Phase 1
Information on Phase 1 of re-opening, which is the phase
that all care levels (assisted, basic, and skilled) of Bethel remain in and
will for a period of time related to the increase in positive COVID-19 cases in
Williams County. Also for skilled and basic care we had a positive resident on
the testing completed July 9 and a positive employee on July 19 testing.
1. Visitation within the facility is prohibited, except for compassionate end of
life care situations. In those limited situations, VISITORS NEED TO ADHERE
TO THE UNIVERSAL SOURCE CONTROL GUIDANCE, which is to wear a clean, cloth face
covering or facemask (over both nose and mouth), maintain social distancing of
6 feet, and perform appropriate hand hygiene upon entrance to the facility. If
the visitor for the end of life care situation is unable or unwilling to wear
the face covering their ability to enter the facility will be restricted.
2. As
sent out in a previous alert scheduled outside visitation between residents and
their families while exercising social distancing of 6 feet, donning of a
clean, cloth face covering or facemask, and performing appropriate hand
hygiene. The outside visit can be schedule through activities.
3. Restrict entry
of non-essential healthcare personnel into the facility. We did visit with VP3
group today (07/22) and Pastor Sheldon will be returning to the facility full time.
4. Communal dining may occur for COVID-19 negative residents while exercising
social distancing (limiting the number of people at tables and spaced by at
least 6 feet). At this present time the smaller neighborhoods are eating in
their dining rooms. Spacing doesn't allow in the larger neighborhoods at this
time. The VP3 group is discussing this with the state and there may be some
changes made that would allow more residents at a table. Potentially later this
week they will let us know of changes.
5. Limited group activities may occur
internally for COVID-19 negative residents while exercising social distancing,
donning a clean, cloth face covering or facemask, and performing appropriate
hand hygiene. This is occurring at this time.
6. 100% screening of al individuals
entering the facility, including facility staff prior to the beginning of their
7. 100% screening occurs for all residents twice daily.
8. Related to the
positives on skilled/basic there is enhanced precautions of wearing eye
protection/visor in addition to the face mask.
July 2, 2020:
Hi Everyone. Bethel Lutheran Nursing & Rehabilitation
Center for all care levels has made the difficult decision to hold off moving
into phase II of re-opening this week. Bethel will re-evaluate next week.
There has been an increase in the number of active COVID cases in Williams
County and our utmost concern is the safety of our residents and staff.
Bethel has slowly been opening things up in the building. The activity
room has been open for a week. Residents have been coming down and having
coffee hour and activities, being mindful of the 6 feet social distancing and
facial covering (mask) if resident tolerates. Frequent
hand hygiene is provided. Cleaning is conducted of tables and chairs in between
activities. Two dining rooms are open with a third being opened next week. Only
one resident is placed at a dining room table with 6 foot social distancing
maintained. After each dining service chairs and tables are wiped down. Arbor
house has implemented the same process also. Bethel continues to restrict entry
of non-essential healthcare personnel into both facilities. Non-medically
necessary trips outside of the facilities for residents continue to be
minimized as much as possible. 100% screening of all individuals entering the
facility, including facility staff prior to the beginning of their shift for
signs of COVID, including temperature check. 100% screening occurs for all
resident twice daily for symptoms of COVID, including temperature and oxygen
check. Facility staff wear surgical masks and face visors/safety glasses with
residents wearing cloth masks (if tolerated) when out of room or when staff are
present in room. Outside visits continue and if you desire an outside visit
with your loved one please contact activities or at Arbor house the facility
staff. Window visits are available, but the window must remain shut. Visit via
phone, face time, etc. are available. Just a friendly reminder that when
completing outside visit at a minimum 6 foot social distance and facial mask
must be maintained. Please if you should have any questions or concerns let
your social worker know or if at Arbor House contact Faye or Renee. Have a safe 4th of
June 12, 2020:
Hi Everyone. Bethel
Lutheran Nursing & Rehabilitation Center has received all (staff and
resident) results from COVID-19 testing completed on Tuesday and we are happy
to report all were negative. Bethel will be applying to enter phase 1 of
re-opening. If approved information will be provided. Have a good weekend.

I just got a BBB and BB-view for a project.
I am running the most recent Angstrom build from element14's website.
Whenever I hold down a stylus on the touchscreen, the cursor seems to jitter a few pixels in each direction.
For my project I need it to be a firm cursor when using the stylus.
I'm trying to find something I can quickly edit in SSH to fix the jitter.
My guess would be it is somewhere in the /root/dev folder, but I can't seem to find it.
Anyone with some solution to this?

And while SOA's architectural design concept is visually stunning, the goal is to create an educational farm intended to prompt further plans and discussion regarding the potential for creating future relationships between tropical foods and metropolitan population centers, and the environmental impact of shipping fruit around the world..
Called Urbanana, the six story design features a research lab, restaurant, exposition space, and shop. Whereby the vertical banana plantation, which will utilize artificial lights, and catwalks which will be installed in place of the existing floors in the center of the building.
"This collection of features make Urbanana an agricultural operation that's easy to insert within the urban fabric," SOA writes on its website.
Additionally, in 2012, SOA founded the Agricultural Urbanism Lab (LUA), association working in the field of urban agriculture in terms of research and development. This work is carried out in cooperation with several professionals and researchers.

BETTER RE, Upcycling Power Pack reusing smartphone batteries
Since the 90's when the first smartphones were released they have become more and more a part of us. As our reliance on them has grown, their battery life seems to have got worse. It used to be all about the tiniest phone you could still dial a number on, and now the hipsters have tablets taped to their heads… With trends changing all the time (who remembers the "matrix phone"?) the average life span of a phone is just over a year. What a waste. Especially they are being discarded with an average of 80% battery life still left in them.
Noticing the need for extended battery life and the piles of unused battery power filling up landfill sites Better RE have created their epic Recharging Pack.
You no longer need to worry about running out of battery or harming the environment with your discarded batteries. Thanks to Better RE: charge anytime, anywhere! Designed to perfection Better RE acts as a universal batterypack that will fit just about any size battery. The concept is simple, you already are likely to have a number of old smartphone batteries that can be used to repower your current device when it runs low on juice. The Better RE simply provides a really nice looking case and added functionality to bring it back into service. Thanks to it's expansion packs, Better RE can also use all additional USB output ports so you can charge different devices at once!
Aesthetically it's a minimalist beauty – the naturally distinct grain of the wood makes each Better RE slightly unique, and the pack comes in various colours. The design was the proud recipient of a 2014 Red Dot award and it can be pre-ordered here. We can't wait for this to be released to market.

Virgo july Horoscope 2020
careful, attentive but intelligent and meticulous Virgo
This period will be rather peaceful, and Virgo will be able to pay attention to practical things. Trips and holidays with your dear one are now more than appropriate. You will experience a lot of fun and strengthen bonds. However, keep in mind that July, with its energy, could bring a person who might not take you that seriously. Not everybody follows the rule of wearing the heart on the sleeve and meeting a liar could get you down.
July, especially the last days of July, brings unexpected offers. Virgo shouldn't refuse them, whether it is a weekend of companionship, an invitation to a romantic date or it is an adrenaline-creating experience. Go for new challenges, despite your fear.

It may happen that you will be more emotional than usually. You will look very kind, selfless and empathic to others. However, your behaviour may look oversensitive or exaggerated. If you feel insecure it will make you very nervous. You will feel safe surrounded by love, relationship or family. You will also self-realize much better there. Fantasy is also significant for this period.
This period will give you a great amount of creative power and also leading abilities. It will not be a problem for you to take more responsibility, be a leader or give orders. You will feel very well in this position and you will look the same to others. You might also feel a need for wealth, both material and spiritual. In any case, this all drives you forward to reach your dreams.

You don't stay at just one place these days. Travelling, new adventures, social life and flirting attract you. In extreme cases, others might find your behavior narrow-minded. In matters of love, having only one partner won't satisfy you. When in a long-term relationship, your partner should provide you with plenty of interesting ideas to make you happy.

Your judgement may be influenced by your emotions these days. Both automatically or subconsciously. Being too sensitive may be a disadvantage. Try to focus on facts. The advantage will be that you will be very empathic, as a companion, partner or listener. Since people in your company will feel good.

During this period, you won't have problems reacting impulsively. You will make a good leader too. You will also be capable of persistent and purposeful love. Your energy can get you anything you long for. However, look out when there are any stressful situations because you may tend to behave thoughtlessly and even arrogantly.

With the amount of damage that your hair go through every day, we must make sure to give them the maximum growth. Dealing with the hair loss at the early stage is important and possible because then you can just buy a few products from the online stores like Megorgeous and you can prevent any further hair loss. But if you have lost more than you usually do due to some kind of the illness then you should know there is still hope.
Platelet-rich plasma Therapy
Platelet-rich Plasma Therapy is the therapy that helps the growth of more hair on your scalp. The platelet-rich plasma from your blood is taken and then is injected in your scalp and this increases the amount of the blood vessels. This happens because of the growth factors that are present within the plasma. This will also increase the cell proliferation your scalp and will eventually help you with the hair growth. The platelet basically is the cells which stop the bleeding but here due to the growth factors present in then it can help you get rid of alopecia.
What are the side effects of this treatment?
Basically, there are other treatments present like the use of Minoxidil which causes the vasodilation and then increases the blood circulation in your scalp but this treatment is different than that. And there are no major side effects to this treatment you may feel a little more pressure on the injection site and small areas may even bleed or cause the redness but that is all this treatment does and there are no major side effects of this treatment method.
How long this treatment does take
The length of treatment depends on to what extent the hair loss is being treated and the patients will start to notice the difference after 6 months.

Ozark Mayor Issues Stay at Home Order
Ozark Mayor Rick Gardner has issued a "stay at home" order for the city starting at 12:01 a.m. Thursday, March 26, 2020, and it will last for 30 days unless the mayor renews or withdraws the order.
The order says that Ozark residents may only leave their homes to do "essential activities." The definition of those activities are operations or essential businesses, or the basic operations of other categories who have specific exemptions from the order.
The order mirrors the orders of Springfield and Greene County, which are available at this link.
"With the situation evolving in neighboring cities and counties, a unified approach is believed to be the
right thing to do for our community," Ozark's city government wrote in a press statement. "This Order intends to mirror those orders issued by Springfield and
Greene County. The intent of the Stay at Home Order is to ensure that the maximum number of people
self-isolate in their places of residence to the maximum feasible extent, while enabling essential services
to continue, to slow the spread of COVID-19 to the maximum extent possible."
All non-essential businesses within the Ozark city limits will be closed.

SYKES to create 400 jobs in Sumter
April 22, 2009
By ANNABELLE ROBERTSON
Item Staff Writer
A ray of sun is breaking through Sumter's economic dark clouds as SYKES, a leading business outsourcing company, will soon be hiring as many as 400 people.
Next week the company will host a job fair at the Sumter Mall, where the company hopes to find its first 100 new employees for the start-up phase of its operations here.
"We are looking for individuals with the passion to serve and the skills, knowledge and talent to thrive in a customer service position," said Andrea Burnett, director of corporate communications. "Systems background is preferred, however, we will provide training. We also have some positions for which knowledge of enterprise networking is a plus."
The Tampa, Fla.-based SYKES operates call centers around the country and has contracted with a leading communications provider for the facility here, said Burnett, who declined to name the company. Officials with the company have leased space in the Sumter Mall, where they are constructing a new call center. They plan to fill the first phase of employees at the job fair, which will be held next week from Thursday through Saturday at the mall. Applicants are encouraged to bring their resumes.
"The expansion of our U.S. operations to Sumter … is a testament to the continued demand we see in outsourcing," said Star King, vice president of United States operations. "We are grateful for the support of the Sumter community and surrounding area as we begin our recruitment efforts in support of the new site. I am confident the commitment, dedication and outstanding work ethic SYKES found here will lead to success for our clients and for the people of Sumter."
SYKES officials will begin training all new employees immediately, and they hope to open the call center for business within two months.
"We're very excited," said Jay Schwedler, president and chief executive officer of the Sumter Development Board. "We've worked with SYKES for close to a year on this project, and it's a great win for the community and a great fit for the company. And we're absolutely thrilled that in this economic climate, Sumter has again showed its mettle in securing another great corporate partner."
The tri-county area has been rocked by soaring unemployment rates. At the end of March, Sumter's jobless rate stood at 13.3 percent. Neighboring Clarendon and Lee counties were at 15.9 and 14.8 percent, respectively.
Schwedler said that the arrival of SYKES illustrates the importance of Shaw Air Force Base, when it comes to economic development and employment.
"Shaw is a huge economic engine in and of itself," he said, "but this is another example of how Shaw's presence in Sumter adds to the economic vitality of the community."
According to its Web site, SYKES is a global leader of business process outsourcing. The company contracts with Fortune 1000 companies around the world, primarily in the communications, financial services, healthcare, technology and transportation and leisure industries.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of secondary school teachers on the effects of staff development programme on the their job performance. The study was carried out at 10 selected secondary schools in the Kuala Muda/Yan district in Kedah. 322 respondents were randomly chosen from the 10 selected schools to take part in the survey using a 41-item questionnaire. The results of the survey were analysed using the Pearson correlation method, t-test and analysis of variance in SPSS. The analysis showed that there is very significant relationship between the perception of teachers on job performance and staff development. However, only a moderate correlation of 0.6065 was obtained between the perception of teachers on job performance and staff development programme. Job performance could be affected by other factors such as motivation, ability, traits, role perceptions, rewards and reinforcers. The salary movement in the New Remuneration System for government employees was found to be very significantly related to the perception of teachers on staff development programme and job performance. The perception of the teachers on their job performance and staff development programme were found to be significantly related to the number of inservice and in-house training programmes attended by the teachers. The results of the analysis of variance proved that the perception of staff development programme and job performance of the teachers were found to be very significantly related to the position held by the teachers. In contrast, it was found that the demographic factors of gender, age, marital status, academic qualifications and length of service have no effect on the teachers' perception of staff development programme not job performance. Suggestions for future staff development programme and further study were proposed.
