Deep-Diving Systems of Agreement: How to Prepare Documents Efficiently
DocuSign's vision is to modernise the Systems of Agreement of companies around the world, automating and connecting everything that happens before, during and after each document is processed through the DocuSign platform.
Our vision is to accelerate the way technologies and processes are used to prepare, sign, execute and manage agreements. In this blog series, we will contextualise each of the four stages of a fully digital System of Agreement platform.
The first stage is Prepare. During the Prepare stage, numerous contributors create and review content in an almost entirely manual process of unpredictable duration. To be fair, word processing and email did wonders in bringing this process into the 20th century. Unfortunately, we are now almost two decades into the 21st century, and frankly, most enterprises have nothing new to show for it, just more and more email clamouring for more and more attention.
Preparing documents manually is a headache
No contract comes ready. Before it is ready for signature, it is always necessary to adapt it to the needs of the parties involved, identifying subjective and objective elements such as information about the each signatory, the legal capacities and legitimacy, as well as including values and clauses.
However, the vast majority of ready-made models taken from the Internet do not fully meet the requirements of the agreements and are not legally appropriate, which may jeopardise the relationship established therein and even cause legal problems.
Prepare documents with a high degree of automation
Now it is possible to:
- Create a document in a productivity application like Microsoft Word or Google Docs, then easily transfer the document into an agreement process.
- Provide industry-approved agreement templates, such as those required in real estate.
- Pull data from systems of record—like CRM, HCM, and ERP—to automatically populate parts of an agreement, such as customer, product, and pricing information.
- Automatically generate an agreement with content blocks that dynamically configure themselves based on, for example, the signer's geographic region.
- With a wizard-like experience, guide the signer to provide information necessary to automatically create an agreement customised to his or her needs, such as for a loan application.
- Allow multiple parties to collaborate and comment on the draft agreement in real time, so the deliberations are retained as part of the agreement's legally admissible record.
- Also, we noticed that the camera is one of the biggest sources of document insertion within our very own DocuSign app. From this, one of our latest innovations to streamline and facilitate the preparation of documents was Mobile Document Scanning, which makes it easy to scan, cut, resize and even add pages to the same document that will be imported to the DocuSign platform.
A contract that has problems in its preparation is bound to have problems until the end of its lifecycle. Therefore, simplifying both the creation of the document and the completion of information are essential procedures to streamline this initial step of the process, leaving it ready to be signed more quickly and securely.
Read all about it
To learn more, read the The Rise of Modern Systems of Agreement, a collaboration between DocuSign's strategy executives and Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm. It explains how every company has a System of Agreement, but most are not modernised for today's speed of business.
Symptoms of a legacy System of Agreement include slow, expensive processes due to a lack of automation, disconnected steps that require customers or employees to rekey information you already have, and an inability to monitor or audit for compliance.
There is a better way: a modern System of Agreement. Discover the whats, whys, and hows by reading the white paper, and keep an eye on our blog to understand the next step: Sign.

Small World (Damaged)

In Small World, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all.
Designed by Philippe Keyaerts as a fantasy follow-up to his award-winning Vinci, Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs, and even humans, who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth.
Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory!
On each turn, you either use the multiple tiles of your chosen race (type of creatures) to occupy adjacent (normally) territories - possibly defeating weaker enemy races along the way, or you give up on your race letting it go "into decline". A race in decline is designated by flipping the tiles over to their black-and-white side.
At the end of your turn, you score one point (coin) for each territory your races occupy. You may have one active race and one race in decline on the board at the same time. Your occupation total can vary depend on the special abilities of your race and the territories they occupy. After the final round, the player with the most coins wins.

B.C. RCMP say that thieves risked their own lives in entering the evacuated landslide area at Johnson's Landing to steal tools and other items.
Thieves broke first broke into a home and garage sometime last week, then made their way through slide debris to two other unoccupied homes, said Kaslo RCMP in a Tuesday news release.
Last July, a devastating landslide swept through the tiny hamlet in southeastern B.C., killing four people. Due to the slide hazard, warning signs remain in place for the public not to venture into the area.
The home belonging to Valentine Webber, 60, and his two daughters, Diana, 22, and Rachel, 17, who died in the slide, was broken into, said RCMP. Thieves took a riding mower, table saw, and air compressor from the property.
They also stole computers and other tools from a second home. RCMP officers could not get to two other homes in the south side of the slide because of unstable ground.
"It is indeed extremely unfortunate that not only were the property owners victimized by the original slide, but eight months later are victimized again by criminals stealing their property," said RCMP in the news release.
UPDATE - March 21, 2013: A resident spotted the stolen tools and other items piled neatly at the side of Highway 31, about 18 km from the original break-ins, said RCMP. While the equipment has been recovered, there are still no arrests as the investigation continues.

This year I was very keen to enter, I was so thrilled to reach the finals last year, and I may be tempting fate to enter again, but I really wanted to give it another go. I have to admit it took me a while to decide what to make though. I was very close to entering a Key Lime Pie. I love these zesty pies, and they take me right back to age 12 when I had my first taste of one in Florida. Even today they conjure up memories of exotic palm trees and sunshine and are one of my favourite things to eat. But, even though I love those pies, I still wasn't completely sure that it was what I wanted to enter, so I had another think.
After thinking it through further, I realised that while I love a good sweet treat, my heart has always been with salty, savoury foods. My cravings were always chips over chocolate and I'd often have seconds of dinner rather than a dessert. So, I have decided to enter a savoury bake! I may be mad to turn my back on sweet cakes and bakes, but at the same time I just know there are lots of who really would appreciate a really fine savoury centrepiece on the table.
So here is my entry. A vegan picnic pie! Lovely layers of delicious veggies, tofu and herbs wrapped up in a delicate polenta pasty. It's great served cold for picnics and buffets but also an impressive hot main. I am thinking of making a slight variation of this for our Christmas dinner centrepiece this year!
I know there are many, many, many(!) stages to this pie. It certainly isn't your everyday recipe. Think of it as a meal for a big get together or special occasion; a real celebratory centrepiece, a recipe for when you can take your time, perhaps with a cheeky glass of wine and a friend to help out.
Saying that though, if you are pushed for time, then a cheat version can easily be thrown together. Simply buy some vegan ready made shortcrust pasty (or make it ahead of time and store in the freezer), and sub the home cooked veggies for a selection of marinated and char-grilled veggies from the deli counter at the supermarket (or even the jarred kinds from the shelves if you drain off the oil well) and you're good to go! It will look every bit as impressive, but take hardly any time at all.
Before you begin this recipe, make sure you have a 23cm spring-form cake tin to bake it in!
For the pasty
375g Spelt flour (white gives a lighter finish, wholegrain is healthier, or mix them together half and half!)
25g polenta
180g coconut or olive spread, I use Biona
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
Enough chilled water to mix to a dough
For the filling
2 Courgettes
4 tbsp store bought black olive tapenade* (be sure to check it has no anchovies)
6 red pointed peppers (these are slightly sweeter than the bell peppers)
10 large basil leaves
1 can of butter beans, drained
1 butternut squash
100g frozen spinach, defrosted
2 bunches of asparagus
500g chestnut mushrooms
3 cloves garlic
1 pack of firm tofu
2 tbsp nutritional yeast
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Step 1
First we're going to make the pastry. Add the flour, polenta and salt to a large bowl. Add the spread and work through the flour to make a breadcrumb consistency. Add the cold water a tablespoon at a time, while mixing with your hands to create a ball of dough. Wrap in greaseproof paper or cling-film and put in the fridge to rest while you make the filling. The pastry can easily be made the night before too!
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees/170 fan oven
Peel the squash and slice into 1cm rounds. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 25mins until just cooked. Remove and set aside.
Step 3
Slice the courgettes into long thing ribbons, about 1/4 cm thick. Season with sea salt and pepper and cook them over a hot griddle or under a hot grill until cooked through. Brush the asparagus with a little olive oil and flash griddle these, just enough to see some char marks, being careful not to cook all the way through as they can go soft very easily. Set aside.
Grill the peppers under a very hot grill until the skin chars. Put them in a bowl and cover with cling film and leave to steam for 10 minutes, this will make it easier to remove the skins.
While the peppers are steaming, finely chop the garlic and add to a pan with some olive oil oil, slice the mushrooms and add to the pan, season with salt and pepper and sauté until cooked. Strain off the juice and set aside.
When the peppers have cooled, simply peel off the skins (they should be nice and loose), cut in half and discard the seeds.
Step 5
Squeeze the juice out of the spinach, and add to a bowl. Season well with sea salt and black pepper. Add the nutritional yeast, and crumble in the tofu. Squeeze the mixture together really well with your hands to combine.
Step 6
Time to assemble the pie!
Unwrap the pasty and take 2/3rds of the mixture, setting aside the other 3rd. Lightly dust a work surface and roll out the pasty into a large round, to line the tin. Take your spring-form cake tin and line the tin with the pastry, gently smoothing the sides as much as you can without tearing it. Trim off the excess from around the edges.
Step 7
Making the layers!
Lay the courgette slices over the bottom of the pasty to create and even layer. Season a little more with sea salt and pepper. Spread the olive tapenade over the courgettes making sure they are covered well.
Next arrange the peppers over the courgettes, you should have enough to make two layers of peppers.
Sprinkle the basil leaves over the peppers.
Next pour over the butter beans. Season this layer well with sea salt and black pepper. Top the beans with a layer of roasted squash, and then spread over the tofu-spinach mixture.
Next layer the asparagus over the spinach, you may need to cut them in halves to make sure you fill in all the gaps. Top with the mushrooms which will come to the top of the tin!
Step 8
Lets get the top on! Roll out the remainder of the pastry and place over the top of the tin. Trim off the excess and crimp the edges together with your thumb and fingers like you would to crimp a pasty. You could also seal just by pressing down with a fork.
If you like at this stage you can use the excess pasty that you trimmed off to create a decoration for the pie, I like to use a leaf pattern.
Make a hole in the centre of the pasty to allow the steam to come out, and then lightly brush the top with a little soya milk to create a golden crust.
Step 9
Cook the pie in the centre of the oven for around 50 minutes. You may need to cover the top with some tin foil after the first 30 minutes if the edges are getting too brown.
Cool slightly before removing from the tin and cutting into slices. This pie tastes even better left in a fridge overnight, and makes for a perfect cold centrepiece!
*Although traditionally tapenade contains anchovies, we found two varieties of jarred black olive tapenade in our local supermarket and both were vegan! We went for the one with added cumin and chilli in as it had a richer depth of flavour. Brands that are vegan are: Gaea Kalamata Tapenade, Olive Branch Chunky Tapenade and Belazu Black Olive Tapenade (which is the one we used).

There is much more to traveling than simply getting on a plane. If you allow it to be, travel can be an enjoyable experience. There are a ton of travel options and a wide variety of adventures to take. Do you know what it takes to succeed? To help you sort out the options, check out the tips given here.
When flying, always have a bottle of water handy. Drinking plenty of fluids will ensure that your body stays hydrated during the flight. The air inside the cabin is extremely dry, playing havoc with your body. Don't substitute alcohol or caffeine for water, as this can make dehydration worse.
Before booking a hotel for your trip, check with the Better Business Bureau. Checking with them first, can save you a lot of time and money. It will ensure that you do not waste your time checking into a poor hotel. A poor hotel experience can ruin any vacation or business trip.
A great tip for traveling is to go shopping for snacks and drinks for your lodging place in your hometown. This saves hundreds of dollars over the course of your travels because every time you stop to sleep in a hotel, the multiple trips to vending machines and the store located in the hotel that has frozen dinners and soups will leave you with a lighter wallet.
When traveling by air, there is no longer any reason to carry a separate toiletries bag. All of your liquids and gels will need to fit into a Ziplock bag regardless. That bag will already be sealed, and will be smaller and lighter than any bag designated for the task.
Discount Flights
When traveling internationally on a budget, consider taking flights rather than trains to your destinations. While trains are perhaps the more traditional mode of transportation for backpackers, many airlines offer discount flights that are much cheaper than train tickets. This way, you can travel to more places without adding to your budget.
Get a workout in before you get on the plane. Multi-hour flights can take a lot out of you. Sitting for an excessive amount of time can cause your back and legs to cramp. Getting a good workout or stretch in before your flight can leave you feeling relaxed and reduce the chances of your body stiffening during your flight.
Check to see if your credit issuer provides any type of insurance when traveling abroad. For example, you might be covered for flight cancellations that you charged with your credit card. It will be worth it to do this research prior to your trip.
Plane Tickets
If you need to travel across the country but are on a limited budget, consider traveling by bus. In the past, bus travel was viewed somewhat unfavorably, but today major players like Greyhound, have made major improvements to attract the growing number of travelers who can't afford plane tickets. Today bus lines are a more civil experience. Cleaner, newer buses are the norm and most stations offer free wireless internet access and sundries.
Now you see that traveling is a lot more that just riding a plane to a new location. It requires a little preparation to make the trip as enjoyable as possible. Use the above advice to make your trip a fantastic one.…Continue Reading

|This article is about the Space Marines; for the other uses, see Blackshield (disambiguation).
The term Blackshields refers to irregular Space Marine units during the Horus Heresy. Small in scale, few numbered more than a thousand or so warriors.[1b]
Evoking martial tradition of ancient times, a Blackshield was a warrior who had entirely denounced his parent Legion, or in some extreme cases had never known from which Legion they originated. They often fought under a false banner or bore no banner at all. Groups of Blackshields fought against both sides in the Heresy, dating back to the Battle of the Coronid Deeps of 006-008.M31. There, a force of loyalist Astartes clad in black and wearing no iconography other than the Aquila formed to fight the traitors, but refused the order to withdraw and were presumed lost.[1b]
The exact origins of the Blackshields phenomenon remains a mystery. However, what is known is that many types of Blackshields existed, most defined by the circumstances of their formation. Some were Astartes driven beyond their limits, consumed by the grief and insanity of the Heresy. Some were so broken in mind and spirit they no longer recognized or acknowledged any lord, becoming determined to forge their own path in the Galaxy. Others were mere raiders determined to claiming their own domains from both sides. Some thought they were still continuing the work of the Great Crusade while others established petty empires, enslaving those they came across. Perhaps the most mythic type of Blackshields were those who actively turned on their own Primarch and Legion.[1b]
However, one of the few defining factors common across Blackshields was the fact they all denounced their heritage and none considered themselves belonging to any Primarch. This led to most, though not all, painting themselves in a distinctive black. As with Shattered Legions forces, Blackshields were encountered on both sides of the war and in many cases were fighting entirely for themselves. Some bore the Aquila while others bore the Eye of Horus, but none answered to any master except themselves. The Imperium considered many of these bands to be little more than Pirates.[1b]
In battle, Blackshields were observed using "Pariah" Wargear, modifying their armour and weapons in ways that would have been considered illegal in the Legiones Astartes. They were also observed using Xenos weaponry.[1a]
Types of Blackshields
- Death Seekers — Blackshields consumed with a drive to find death in battle. They were psychologically unstable and could endure tremendous amounts of pain and injury.[1a]
- Orphans of War — Hardened veterans who were distrustful of both sides of the Heresy.[1a]
- Outlanders — Have turned to pursuing their own goals, often acting as marauders and pirates.[1a]
- Chymeriae — Warriors born from a combination of gene-seed from different Legions, often at the demand of a rogue Primarch or Apothecary. These warriors were mentally unstable and unpredictable, often suffering from madness and mutations.[1a]
Known Blackshield Bands
- The Company of the Sundered — Pirate band[1b]
- The Nine Blades — Established a petty slave empire in the Truan System[1b]
- The Umbral Hundred — Scoured twelve Systems in the Chonma Sector in 011.M31[1b]
- The Dark Brotherhood
- The Gerasene Host — Undertook unsanctioned gene-seed hybridization, creating "Chymeriae" Astartes[1a]
- The Ashen Claws
- The Third Covenant
- The Burnt Word - Took part in the Solar War[2]
- The Brotherhood of Set - Took part in the Solar War[2]
- The Twelfth Truth - Took part in the Solar War[2]
Known Blackshields
- Endryd Haar — Former World Eater
- Erud Vahn — Former Death Guard
- Crysos Morturg — Former Death Guard
- Nemean — Former Dark Angels
- Nerat Kirine - Former Raven Guard[1c]

text: We fed Harrison his first bit of cereal today. He's been showing some signs of being ready: sitting up with minimal assistance, increased head/neck control, hungry even following big feedings… At the suggestion of one of the OTs I work with, I decided we should take the plunge into solid foods. I picked up some organic, whole grain rice cereal and organic baby applesauce (for flavor) and whipped up some lunch for little man this afternoon. Most of it ended up on his bib, but he handled it quite nicely for the first go around, and he tolerated the cereal nicely. I know that the AAP is now suggesting 6 months for starting solids, but I've done my research, and I also know from my work environment, that some babies are ready earlier than others. I think Harrison is one of those babies. He's already on his way to 14 lbs and he is so strong. Plus, he's always acted like an older baby (he thinks he can do so much). We'll keep trying a little bit the next few days after his regular feedings and see if he takes to it. If not, we'll just wait a little bit longer.

Daily Secrets for the Best Way to Live With Adult ADHD
ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is commonly diagnosed during childhood. Many adults live with the disorder, some with treatment plans and others who are completely ignorant to what their symptoms really mean. ADHD Adulthood reports that an estimated 48% of adults who meet the criteria for ADHD haven't addressed their concerns with a healthcare provider.
If you exhibit any of these signs of Adult ADHD, consult your physician about potential treatment options. These are the multiple ways you can combat ADHD outside of the doctor's office.
Know your medication options
It's crucial to your well-being to find the right treatment options for your ADHD. These may or may not include medication.
WebMD lists the medications commonly used to treat ADHD as well as their potential side effects. The drugs tend to cut down on hyperactivity, interrupting, and fidgeting in 70% of adults. Many sufferers find that prescription drugs aren't the right choice for their ADHD. It's imperative you consult your doctor before taking any action. Read on for alternative treatment methods to medication.
Exercise regularly
The health benefits of exercise are irrefutable. You may be hitting the gym to improve your physical health and are unknowingly doing wonders for your mental health. Consistent exercise is a powerful treatment for ADHD and is proven to improve concentration, memory, and mood.
Exercise is an increasingly supported non-pharmacological intervention method for ADHD. Research suggests that "intense aerobic exercise enhances brain structure and function," and as a result, is beneficial to those affected by ADHD.
Cognitive behavioral therapy
People living with ADHD experience the same stressors and distractions as those unaffected. These complications can be tougher to address and manage for an adult with ADHD. Their inner critic may become more easily frustrated and as a result distract from the tasks at hand.
This is where cognitive behavioral therapy can help. ADDitude encourages those affected by ADHD to challenge their thoughts in order to change their lives. "Cognitive behavioral therapy is a short-term, goal-oriented form of psychotherapy that aims to change these negative patterns of thinking and change the way a patient feels …" the site states.
Family therapy
Family therapy among partners, children, and siblings helps identify how your ADHD is affecting your family members or how their actions are affecting your treatment. Since adults typically prioritize their health concerns below those of their children or spouse, this therapy is a useful treatment option.
Explore the constraints ADHD imposes on your family life and how to handle them. This therapy will relieve stress and anxiety at home and benefit your mental health.
Create more structure
WebMD offers a few suggestions to reach your full potential while struggling with ADHD. It's good to create a definitive structure that will help you raise your productivity despite the disorder.
Manage your relationships, goals, and daily tasks to clear your mind better and ease any ADHD-associated anxiety. By utilizing calendars, creating a rough idea of a daily routine, and identifying your support system, you'll set yourself up for success.
Cut down on distractions
Cut out distractions, large or small, to increase your productivity despite ADHD. The background noise that increasingly bogs down our minds may seem harmless. However, it can be detrimental to your concentration.
Turn off the TV or use noise-cancelling headphones to block out interruptions.
Try relaxation therapy
Common relaxation therapies like yoga and meditation have proven themselves as worthy tactics to battle the anxiety associated with ADHD. Meditation counteracts overactive brain activity and increases activity in the prefrontal cortex. This part of your brain is responsible for attention span, organization, and impulse control.
Find the relaxation tactic best for you based on how you handle stress. These often include muscle relaxation techniques and deep breathing exercises.
Consult a life coach
If you struggle with organization, self-esteem, and productivity, then hiring a life coach could be a viable option. There are an abundance of life coaches who work exclusively with patients struggling with ADHD.
A life coach can help you find perspective and manage overwhelming thoughts and distractions in your everyday life. Finding the right coach is crucial to your success. ADDitude recommends finding your local chapter of CHADD or consulting your doctor or psychologist to find a coach to match your needs.

Why anyone who cares about journalism needs to read Jill Lepore's New Yorker article
I feel like I've been to - and produced - dozens of hand-wringing panel talks on the future of journalism. It's a juicy topic to dig into, despite the obvious frustration hovering every chin-stroking insight lobbed by a media pro: We truly don't know what's going to happen to journalism.
But some of us, some journalists with deep roots in history writing and thoughtful analysis, can at least present what kind of diagnosis that is sickening the world's magazines, newspapers and online outlets. And most recently, that rarity belongs to author Jill Lepore, who just wrote a vital longread on U.S. journalism's many challenges.
The New Yorker feature, in the Jan 28 print edition, takes us back to ye ol' glory days of newspaper competition and one-upmanship (and it was always 'man' back then), but we don't get rocked in a cradle of complacency in Lepore's piece. Instead, we are quickly bombarded with the heady challenges outlined in Lepore's reading of The Merchant of Truth: The Business of News and the Fight for Facts.
What I appreciate about Lepore's criticism is how she doesn't let Abramson off the hook, such as when reporters at new media outlets like Vice are seen as "impossibly hip, with interesting hair." Lepore says hold up, holster the snarky sidearm, and recognize what's happening when online publishers begin to even scoop legacy papers: "...there is a changing of the guard worth noting, and it's not incidental: it's critical."
Even if you know the story of Jonah Peretti founding BuzzFeed, it's worth poring through Lepore's recounting of the site's rise and pivot, and then pivot again. We've all been reading about BuzzFeed News recently and how Mueller has called out their most recent report on Russia-Trump ties, so Lepore's look back at a Silicon Valley gambit is a lesson for many new media publishers out there.
I care about the future of news reporting, because this industry is too essential to a healthy democracy to see it get crippled at the knees. Layoffs, heady competition from Google/Facebook, mismanagement and partisan politics plague today's journalism space, and Lepore is quick to point out how a future solution can't be read in the tea leaves. Instead, we can learn a quick lesson or two from The Guardian funding itself via philanthropy, for example.
Or take this topsy-turvy fliparoo you might have noticed: "BuzzFeed News became more like the Times, and the Times became more like BuzzFeed, because readers, as Chartbeat announced on its endlessly flickering dashboards, wanted lists, and luxury porn, and people to hate."
Some longreads are well worth the investment in your time, so if you're concerned or at the very least curious about the state of journalism today, Lepore's overview will catch you up...if not freak you out.

For me, it's important to get as close to the truth as possible, especially with regard to historical matters but, for others, "gut feelings" and wild supposition is just as valid proof as personal letters and biographies. It seems some pagans want to play the game of martyrdom themselves and will rely on fabrications to do so. Myself, I am not into denigrating other religions just for the sake of it, though sometimes I am happy to criticise my fellow pagans. Some of my best religious discussions have been with those of another faith. Thus, I find myself intolerant of those pagans who would spout spurious information to all and sundry, disregarding reason to do so and without thought to the detrimental effect on others, especially when it appears to be no more than petty point scoring. It would appear that critical thinking, and fact-checking is not an admiral trait in some pagan circles.
I wish I wasn't this intolerant; I wish I could just let things lie and walk away, but somehow I can't. I get myself embroiled in these pointless arguments and when I request source materials but get no sensible response, I find myself getting frustrated, annoyed and then angry.
Let's face it, though it is just no good arguing with sheep.
I find myself intolerant of those that are happy to be sheeple* yet I have no right to be so. After all, isn't ignorance bliss, and what gives me the right to judge? Perhaps this is something I should work on? I have walked away from a lot of pagan groups, events and websites because I just couldn't stand the lack of common sense or individual thought amongst attendees. Maybe it's that time again? Time to walk away and stick with those who are happy to have questions asked of them; those who willingly point me in the direction of source materials enabling me to do the research myself and reach my own conclusions or, at the very least, eliminate a few theories and/or return with further questions.
What can I do to improve on this intolerance? I suppose I could always become a real hermit, so I only have to be mindful of myself. Or, I could stick to those fellow pagans who think as I do ... but then ... isn't that just avoiding the issue? I could give up searching for the truth, facts, accuracy, or substantiated claims. I have ruled out becoming a sheeple myself. Are there any other options?
Thoughts anyone?
* Those who act like sheep and run with the herd without question, even over a cliff.

Wireless video solutions are transforming the way private corporations, governments and public safety agencies are protecting their company sites, communities, as well as their own personnel.
Wireless technology offers remote monitoring, mobile video and high-speed transmission. By bringing video to more places, these solutions extend the reach of existing personnel. This allows private corporations to better monitor entry/exit points to plant sites, line work areas, high traffic areas, and product loading/unloading areas as well as inventory. Public safety personnel can monitor high crime areas, out of the way locations, high traffic intersections, even special events.
As a result, wireless video systems are helping professionals in private and public entities become even more effective. Private industry is reducing theft, monitoring entry/exit points for unauthorized entry, becoming more efficient, and identifying areas of safety concerns. Public safety professionals are saving lives, reducing crime, and keeping neighborhoods safe.
The Changing Technology of Public Safety
With VIEVU's software with Microsoft Azure which is a Government Cloud hosting service you don't have to worry about your computer crashing and looseing all your data and videos. The new VIEVU 2 will uploaded the video that is being recorded straight to your phone via Wi-Fi.
Both models of the body cams (LE3 and VIEVU 2) are waterproof. The LE3 has a 16GB memory and up to 12 hours of record time.
Capture: Eyes on the Street
The essence of a wireless video solution is speed and mobility. It's being able to set up an entire solution quickly and efficiently, for any purpose.
The most visible part of a wireless solution consists, of digital cameras connected by a broadband network.
Serving as the "eyes" of a solution, cameras can be deployed in three basic ways:
• Fixed – Cameras temporarily or permanently attached to buildings, traffic fixtures, light poles or similar objects, allowing you to monitor select areas around the clock.
• Mobile – Mounted in or on vehicles such as fire trucks, patrol cars or public transportation such as buses, subway cars or trains.
• Portable – Similar to fixed cameras—though not attached to a fixed object—portable cameras are deployed on tripods and run on solar power or batteries. They're made to be set up and taken down quickly for emergencies and special events such as parades or big games.
Once captured, an image is transmitted via a wireless broadband network. As neither the cameras nor broadband network are tethered to a wired infrastructure, wireless video solutions can be signifi cantly more cost effective than older, wired CCTV systems. Simplicity makes them flexible and scalable, yet less expensive to plan, deploy, and manage.
Analytics: Automated Intelligence
A large wireless video solution may include hundreds of cameras, each streaming video and all monitored by just a few people. How do they keep up?
The latest video solutions include sophisticated analytics software that can methodically monitor an area and alert personnel on the street or in a control center to potential problems.
Video analytics can reside at the camera, in a vehicle or at the command center. They look for common things that a human might miss. Maybe it's motion in an area where there shouldn't be any, or several people suddenly gathering in a suspicious manner. Based on predefined parameters, analytics can detect:
• Perimeter violations
• Excessive crowd buildups
• Unattended baggage
• Traffic accidents
• Stolen vehicles
• Other potentially dangerous or disruptive situations.
In effect, video analytics act as a force multiplier, allowing a few trained staff to manage hundreds of cameras, making them more effective and accurate in the process.
Ease of Installation
A wireless video system can typically be setup in days, as opposed to weeks, months or longer for systems requiring in-ground cable or fiber. You not only save time, but eliminate the cost of tearing up and replacing streets, floors or other infrastructure to lay cable
Share: Information where it's needed the most
In public safety, receiving vital information a few seconds sooner can be the difference between a safe or deadly outcome. Collaboration, whether interdepartmental or multi-agency, is often the key. To enhance this collaboration, Motorola's video sharing applications not only work hand in glove with a variety of wireless broadband networks, but they provide video interoperability between disparate systems such as analog closed-circuit television (CCTV), IP based H.264, IP based MPEG4, and other digital formats.
Manage & Store: The efficient back office
Modern digital video solutions can directly link cameras from disparate systems such as schools, banks or malls to public safety video networks. This allows you to leverage and expand upon existing camera networks, and bring all feeds into one cohesive and manageable view.
Searching digital video is easier and faster as well. Instead of sorting through hundreds, perhaps thousands of videotapes, you can locate and access specific footage with just a few keystrokes. Digital footage is also time- and date-coded, enabling quick retrieval for investigation, prosecution and training.
Management efficiency can be further improved by "tagging" digital video. Pre-specified meta-data tags identify things such as shapes, colors, or the number of people in view, making it easy to search for specific data after the fact. You can search for events that may not have triggered an alarm, but turn out to be of interest later. For example, locating footage of all blue cars that drove down a city block between 1:00 and 2:00 am last Tuesday

Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Darren Criss and Edgar Ramirez have been cast in the FX series American Crime Story.
The 30-year-old American actor and 39-year-old Venezuelan star will play serial killer Andrew Cunanan and late designer Gianni Versace in Season 3 of the anthology show, titled Versace: American Crime Story, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The season will explore the 1997 murder of Versace, who founded the Italian fashion house of the same name. Cunanan, who killed the designer and four other people, died by suicide eight days after Versace's murder.
American Crime Story is executive produced by Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story), who previously worked with Criss on Glee. The show aired a critically acclaimed first season, The People v. O.J. Simpson, in 2016, and will explore the events of Hurricane Katrina in Season 2.
Versace is based on the book Vulgar Favors by Maureen Orth, with Deadline reporting that Murphy will direct the season premiere. The 51-year-old producer denied in an interview with Variety in January that Lady Gaga will portray Donatella Versace.
"She's a friend. But she's very busy this year," he said of the singer, who starred on American Horror Story: Hotel.
"When you're going to do a show like Versace, it's a five-month commitment, it's a very big show, we're shooting it all over the world. So I just don't think with her schedule, I knew that it would never have worked. But I would love to work with her on something in the future," he added.
Criss is known for playing Blaine on Glee, while Ramirez starred in the miniseries Carlos. Murphy is also working on American Horror Story Season 7, which will tackle the 2016 presidential election.

Australians can now adopt from Latvia and Poland
AUSTRALIAN families will now be able to adopt from Latvia and Poland.
Children from these two eastern European countries will may be offered for adoption in Australia, particularly when they are older, have medical needs or have siblings.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Attorney-General George Brandis announced the changes to the intercountry adoption programme this morning.
The Australian Government is also working with Bulgaria and Vietnam to also join the program.
Along with the open doors, the government will give LifeWorks $3.5 million over four years for family support services to help those going through the process of adoption.
International social Service Australia will also be involved to provide counselling, and parental support.
To support Australia's intercountry adoption reforms, dedicated Commonwealth officers from the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Immigration and Border Protection have been deployed to key overseas locations, including China, South Korea, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Thailand and Chile.
The officers will help prospective adoptive parents access in-country support services and assist adopting families with visas and other citizenship matters.
In 2013, Australian families adopted 15,810 children from abroad.

Update: Yesterday, we shared with you AM760 host David Sirota's announcement about the birth of his son Isaac. As for who'll be filling in during his current leave, we know who'll be rockin' the mic today and tomorrow: Flobots frontman Jonny 5. Jonny is so progressive that he makes Sirota seem like John Foster Dulles by comparison, so it's a lucky thing the station's on the left of the dial. Details below.
AM760 press release:
Denver, CO, November 22nd, 2010... This morning AM 760 host, nationally syndicated columnist and best-selling author David Sirota added a new title to his accomplished resume - new Dad! While David tends to his new Daddy duties, AM 760 is thrilled to announce that Jonny 5 from the Flobots will serve as guest host on Tuesday, November 23rd and Wednesday, November 24th from 7am-10am!
In his hosting debut, the founding member of the hugely successful Flobots plans to tackle hot topics of the day from his unique perspective. Topics include; The Dream Act, Mideast peace process, an update on Haiti and marriage equality. Jonny 5 was also kind enough to pull from his personal contacts and has lined-up a stellar guest list including; Julieta Quinonez from Jovenes Unidos, former gang member Terrance Roberts, comedian Chuck Roy, former Governor Dick Lamm and lead singer from Rise Against, Tim McIlrath.
Original item, November 22, 2:59 p.m.: You radio-loving progressives will have to do without AM 760's David Sirota for a while. Early this morning, his wife gave birth to the couple's first child, Isaac Irving, after a mere thirty hours of labor. That's the kind of effort that even KOA's Mike Rosen might appreciate, despite Sirota being largely responsible for him being named Keith Olbermann's worst person in the world.

Look below to see Sirota's announcement and a photo of the happy family:
Our son Isaac Irving Sirota was born early this morning (11/22/10) at Rose Hospital after about 30 hours of grueling labor. Mom and baby are healthy and happy. Meanwhile, Dad's mind is totally blown from having witnessed the indescribable awesomeness of the birth, from the experience of meeting his son for the first time, and from just signing a hospital form labeling him a "parent."
For paternity leave, I'll be taking a little more than 2 weeks off from my AM760 radio show. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Love, David

Yankees fans Diaco, Manuel excited to battle Army in the Bronx
NEW YORK >> Before Thursday morning's press conference promoting UConn's Nov. 8 game against Army at Yankee Stadium, UConn director of athletics Warde Manuel and football coach Bob Diaco founds themselves taking in the sights like a pair of wide-eyed youngsters making their first journey into Yankee Stadium.
The two men entrusted with breathing life into the UConn football program both grew up passionate Yankee fans.
"My family has had Yankees tickets forever, ever and ever, and they still do," Diaco said. "So to be in the stadium, it is a little surreal and it is a great opportunity to join the three brands — the UConn brand, the Yankee brand and the West Point brand."
The Yankee brass has been communicating with UConn for years in the hopes of having the Huskies play a football game in the Bronx. The talks picked up in intensity several months ago when Army AD Boo Corrigan reached out to Manuel to see if the Huskies would be agreeable to having Army's home game played at Yankee Stadium.
"I said it would be great," said Manuel, who grew up in New Orleans idolizing Louisiana native Ron Guidry. "As I told Boo, some of it is they had two great sites to pick. Both choices would have been great with me. They both had the rich, deep heritage in America.
"I have been assured by those on my staff who are Red Sox (fans) that they will be working that day and they will get here and do the work. Even they, in jest, understand the importance of the opportunity for us to be down here. As for future games, I am open for further discussions. Your home base is always important for our team and our fans, so we will continue that discussion and look at opportunities."
Mark Holtzman, the executive director for non-baseball events for the Yankees, is delighted Army and UConn came to an agreement. It will be UConn's first and Army's 42nd time playing a football game at either the old or new Yankee Stadium.
"It makes perfect sense, and you also have a situation where George Steinbrenner, the owner, was a college football coach in his day. Next to baseball, college football is his passion," said Holtzman. "One of his wishes is that college football could get brought back in a prominent way to Yankee Stadium. It is not like there hasn't been a prominent history of college football being successful here, but we had taken a little bit of a hiatus.
"I have wanted (UConn) to play here for many years. This has been one of our dreams to get all the top local institutions to play here at Yankee Stadium."
The UConn game is just one of two that Army will play against Connecticut teams during the upcoming season. Army plays at Yale on Sept. 27.
"We are excited about it," Corrigan said. "It is the 100th year of the Yale Bowl and (Yale AD) Tom Beckett called me when I got the job. You see that on your schedule and you go, 'We are playing a team from FCS or I-AA,' and you are kind of scratching your head about why you would do that. But in talking with Tom about it, and it being the 100th year and being the great history that the program has had, I think we are excited about it."
One major sticking point was whether Army could include the Yale game as counting toward bowl eligibility. Once the NCAA granted that request, the decision was made to proceed forward with the game.

When it comes to deciding why playgrounds need a safety surface and which material to use, there are a few details to consider. Firstly, the amount of area covered by the safety surface should extend twice as far as the height of the swings, monkey bars, or other equipment. Secondly, it needs to be made of a soft, cushiony material in order to protect children and prevent injury. There are few other factors to consider when deciding your playground safety surface, and the following points cover the 3 main reasons why your playground needs a safety surface.
When your child falls on a soft safety surface, the surface itself absorbs most of the energy rather than your child's body. This is why the softest materials are always installed in the "fall zones", such as the space under swing sets and beneath slides and bridges where kids commonly slip and tumble. With the soft surface there, your child is more likely to get up and brush themselves off to continue playing.
Along with the shock absorption, playground safety surfaces will also reduce injuries from falls or roughhousing. As the material absorbs and displaces the energy from a fall or fight, your child is less likely to hurt themselves. This is most important when it comes to head injuries.
Although uncommon, a child can fall and hit their head, resulting in a serious – sometimes fatal – injury. Concussions are common head injuries from falls, but these can be reduced when there are soft safety layers installed in your playground to reduce the impact.
Safety is the number one concern when it comes to installing playground surfaces, but you must also consider making access to the equipment easy for children of all ages and mobility. Using rubber mats as your safety surface will help small toddlers just learning how to walk move around the playground, and it makes easy access and maneuvering for children in wheelchairs. Rubber mats are commonly used in toddler and water parks for this reason, while the more mature playground equipment intended for older children is surrounded by mulch or sand.
Neighborhood and school playgrounds are required to have safety surfaces in order to protect children from the accidents that come along with outdoor play. A safety surface will protect your kid from slips, trips, falls, and standing water. These playground safety surfaces are created with the height of the play equipment in mind, as well as the common weather conditions of the neighborhood.
There are many different styles of playground safety surfaces available, and Whirl Construction offers a range to match any aesthetic and functional need your playground has. Choose the right safety surface for your playground and contact us to learn more!

There is a relatively major need for pharmaceutical market research apart from the core R&D functions. Therefore, outsourcing has opened up great opportunities for sponsors such as pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology companies and medical device companies by providing considerable research and development support in a cost-effective manner. Outsourcing clinical development as a whole or partially has become a significant strategy for the clinical research industry.
Clinical trials take approximately 12 – 15 years for discovery and getting a drug to market. As per a recent survey, the cost for conducting clinical trials has increased by 60% compared to five years ago. Sponsors in clinical research industry including Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Medical Device companies spend around $900m in getting every novel drug to market.
Clinical Monitoring is one of the most expensive components within a clinical trial study set-up and can account from anywhere between 27% and 35% of the overall cost within a research program. Since sponsors need to trim nearly $1.5 billion in costs and reduce the 12- 15 year time frame for getting a drug to market, outsourcing their project to CRO's having expertise in all the clinical research domains has been quite helpful and a feasible option. It's not just the cost reduction plan that sponsors look for but also for the value-added expertise that we provide in all aspects of clinical research, reducing both time and cost that's typically required in study set-up.
We aim to carry out clinical operations while reducing cost and delivering maximum operational improvement within the specified time-frame. 86% of clinical trials experienced delays as reported by Applied Clinical Trials; also CenterWatch added that 81% of the delays were around 6 months timeframe whereas 5% took longer than that. We were able to successfully reduce the cost by 17% for one of our reputed clients who was a sponsor to 14-month Phase II clinical trial that involved cost-cutting in the areas of remote monitoring, fewer site visits, shorter patient recruitment periods, reduction in study set-up and database configuration cost, faster UAT, rapid data entry, and reduced data cleaning expenses.
RPM Alliance has experts in all areas of clinical research supporting the full spectrum of industry research services thereby achieving a flawless healthcare continuum. We are known to completely manage and provide strategic assistance for every phase of your clinical trial. We thoroughly analyze and drill down into minute detail as that is what our clients have come to expect from us.
We have our proven track record in supervising phase 1 to 4 clinical trials projects from beginning to end thereby providing an array of industry-leading services. We provide our clients with one or more stand-alone services depending on client preferences as a functional service provider to support their trial and complement their internal staff.

The following is the first in a series of brief interviews with a handful of Tomato clients
that volunteered to chat about their real estate blogging success.
Tomato: Steve, how long has blogging been a part of your real estate marketing strategy?
SB: I have been blogging about real estate since 2007 – I started on a community platform called ActiveRain, but I didn't really get serious until 2008 when I decided to build my own blogsite.
Tomato: How long did it take you start to see results from your blogging? I mean, real business inquires?
SB: When I was on AR I was immediately getting lots of comments from the community and it was encouraging to participate, but I was not getting contact from potential clients, just other real estate agents. Then, when I branched out and set up my own site I'd say it took about 6 months before I started to get real, solid inquiries from the blogging. All the difference was in getting my own site and not getting caught up in the conversation on ActiveRain.
Tomato: How often are you blogging?
SB: Early on I was blogging more – but you need to at first. My blogging efforts now are more seasonal where I try to do most of my blogging from the end of September to the end of February when things start to pick up around here in Colorado. You see, I have 1000s of posts now, and 100s of pages after blogging for so many years that my site continues to work so well for me even when I slow up. I'd say I average around 1 to 2 articles a week – and no less that 4-5 a month. But it just depends on my time. I have two young children so I'm always short on time, you can imagine.
Tomato: What are your most common blogging topics?
SB: Market reports, local events (fun things to do in town), and hot real estate topics – typically things I am helping clients through, or things that are happening in my market now. Regarding market reports, people think that you need to put these out every month, but you don't have to have those on a schedule. Put them out at any time. They are pretty easy to post and great info that is always relevant. But the easiest content to create is the Fun Things To Do.
Tomato: Do you track how much business you get from your blog?
SB: I do! Take 2010-2011 for example. Transactions from blogging alone made up more than 50% of my total income. It's amazing. What's really great is that I generate a lot of high-end clients from my blog; quite a few million dollar deals have come from the blogging – clients that I don't think I could have generated if it weren't for the blogging.
Tomato: Any particularly interesting stories of success you'd like to share?
SB: Well my biggest client to date was a celebrity NFL Coach. He had his $1mil+ home on the market for over 2 years with the same broker with no luck. So his wife was 'stalking' me on my blog, reading everything I wrote for like 6 months. She finally called me and we talked for like an hour about all I was doing with real estate and social media and Internet marketing. They finally listed with me, but under the condition that we didn't drop the price. So I used every angle I had in social media; my blog, Twitter, FB… you name it. Boom, I get this buyer from Dallas, TX who has been reading my blog as well for months. She contacts me and says "that's got to be my house." So now I landed the buyer and the seller with the blog – it was amazing! The NFL coach tells me later, "I didn't know you could sell a house using Twitter and all this stuff." "I though that was all for the youth, like the ones I coach." Later I got this great letter from him written on NE Patriots letter head about how impressed he was with my ability to sell his house using social media. I got it framed right here in the office.
Tomato: So what's the biggest challenge you have when it comes to blogging?
SB: Well it's NOT the coming up with topics, that's easy. For me it's finding the time. When business picks up around here, and I still want to make time for the family, it's the blogging that takes a hit. But I always try to make sure and post at least once a week. You have to feed it – it is has worked so well for me, I hate to neglect it.
Tomato: What's the best reason for you to blog?
SB: It's a 24/7 professional advertisement. The videos I do, the market reports, the blogging… it's always accessible and is reflects on me so favorably. It's this bank of information that is accurate and build my credibility.
Tomato: What topics are best for generating leads?
SB: I can't pin-point this. I have tried, but the answer is really a combination of topics because they are all part of the puzzle. Data heads want data, so I create the market reports. Current events drive immediate, today traffic. And the real life real estate topics are what keep people on the site because they are seeing the answers to the real questions they have. I just keep plugging away knowing that each article plays its part in bringing in an audience and keeping them there reading.
Tomato: What advice do you have for new bloggers?
SB: Post, post and post some more. With persistence and patience you will see the results. Don't get caught up in the chatty communities like FB or ActiveRain. You need to develop a home-base full of your insight and observations. The results will come.
Tomato: Has blogging made you a better real estate agent?
SB: Oh definitely. I KNOW my market. All those market reports I have done over the last several years have forced me to know my stuff like a professional, which I am. I am not reading a script or trying to interpret data on the fly – I am just on it because I have spent the time to make sense of it, and deliver it to my blogging audience. People call me to find out so much in this town, it's just amazing.
Tomato: If you had to do it all over again, what would you do differently?
SB: I wouldn't have changed much. I was lucky to have chosen a small area and stuck with it. Hyper-local is a term that is over used in the social media conversation when it comes to real estate but it is so true. I guess the only thing I regret is not having gotten with the Real Estate Tomato sooner. I made some mistakes and learned some lessons with other web design outfits but it has been smooth sailing with you guys ever since. Oh, and I would have taken the training twice – so that all you guys teach could have really sunk in.

Ionic power for shine and condition.
The Gamma Più 3500 Tormalionic packs a whopping 2500 watts of power generating a veritable hurricane of drying force with its 126 m³ per hour of air flow. All that power is squeezed into a compact 20.5-cm-long body, so it fits easily into your kit bag.
The feature that really makes this dryer though is the tourmaline grill in its nose. Its job is to ionise that typhoon of hot air as it passes through the grill, filling it with negative ions that in turn generate shine and condition in the hair as they wash over it.
There's plenty of control too with 3 heat settings and 2 speed settings worked from switches set into the handle. There's also a cold shot button located in the "trigger position" of the handle.
As you'd expect from a professional dryer, the 3500 has a professional length cord, measuring 3 metres, which gives plenty of slack to work all round your clients.
The Gamma Più 3500 Tormalionic comes in 4 colours: Black, Red, Purple or White.
Now also available in limited edition Silver.
Straighten hair as you blow dry with this easy-to-use pik attachment. It features a silicone attachment point that fits most hairdryers.
Extra-strong vented teeth mean it'll cope even with thick, afro hair.
Black vent brush shaped to follow the contours of the head, for more effective brushing.
Soft-touch handle which looks smart and makes it easy to grip and comfortable to hold.
The UK's leading thermal protector. Ideal for use with ceramic hair straighteners, curling tongs or when blow drying.
Comes in 250 ml.

Rose Ejembi, Makurdi
The Aids Healthcare Foundation (AHF) has distributed 100,000 pieces of condoms in Makurdi, the Benue State capital, as part of activities to mark this year's International Condoms Day (ICD).
Speaking to newsmen after a road walk, in Makurdi, on Tuesday, ART Clinician and Site Coordinator of AHF Nigeria, Dr. Shuaibu Joseph, disclosed that a minimum of 3,000 people were counselled and tested during the weeklong event to create awareness on the need to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) through safe sex practices.
He noted that the theme for this year, "Always in Fashion" was particularly apt since according to him, "condoms are always in fashion because it is never out of fashion to play safe, remain protected, keep STIs and unwanted pregnancies at bay and it will never be out of fashion to halt the spread of HIV through correct and consistent use of condoms."
Shuaibu maintained that ICD was an event which sought to promote the use of condoms as a means of preventing STIs and unwanted pregnancies adding that since its inception in 2009, AHF had been at the forefront of promoting the celebration in a bid to reduce the spread of HIV through safe sex practices.
"AHF today is the largest global AIDS organization operating in 39 countries across the globe with over 870,000 clients in care. AHF remains committed to the continuous provision of cutting edge medicine and advocacy regardless of ability to pay."
On his part, Executive Secretary, Benue State AIDS Control Agency (BENSACA), Dr. Gideon Dura, noted that one of the major ways of contracting HIV was through sex, hence, the need for all sexually-active persons to protect themselves by the use of condoms.
Said Dura, "This year's theme is well captured because condoms, like any other elements of fashion, remains fashionable. If we must play and remain alive, we must never do without condoms."
The event culminated in an outdoor dance entertainment and free HIV screening at the Kenville Park in Makurdi which was largely attended by youths.
