Ok, many people might be getting tired of me talking and posting about TEDx but for me this was a life long dream. Prior to being accepted to speak at TEDx I had applied to five different events only to find out that I hadn't been invited. The truth is, I probably wasn't ready at the exact moment so my time came when I truly was.
My talk was about athleticism at every size and driving change so our media literacy reflects all bodies participating in fitness so that we can inspire people to get in the game. The talk will be available in a few weeks but for the first time, I felt like I had a platform to truly say, everything I wanted to say, unedited and it felt great.
I do believe there are injustices for people of size, double standards and lack of inclusion. At this talk I was able to share my thoughts in a professional and hopefully impactful way that may get people to think again. Ironically, Think Again, was the theme of this TEDx event and I hope they are!
It was an incredible experience to land at the destination after a lot of work.
I first wrote my talk at the end of January by mid February I had the words finalized after running it through for feedback with a coach I trust immensely and come close friends and family.
Then it came down to practice. I practiced this talk every day for 5 weeks. I carefully crafted the visuals to make an impact and was allowed to use some of the most kick ass images of people like ultra marathoner, Mirna Vilareo, Olympian's, Amanda Bingson and Sarah Robles and some great historical shots of great moments in sport with Kathryn Switzer and Billy Jean King.
It was one of the most greatest experiences of my life, I am still high. Next on the circuit, I will most definitely be applying for the global TEDX Woman conference. Another chapter.
What I am most proud of is having a dream, relentlessly chasing it and achieving it. Never giving up have proven to show promise for me, again and again and again…..we are truly limitless.

Here's the abstract of a second paper that I will be presenting at SBL in November, in a session on "Intertextuality and the Art of Persuasive Argumentation" organized by the Intertextuality in the New Testament Section:
"Reading a Letter Quoting a Hymn Quoting Scripture: Intertextuality and Persuasion in Philippians 2:6-11"
The passage in Philippians 2:6-11 has been subjected to detailed scrutiny from a number of perspectives, often focusing on distinct but not ultimately unrelated questions: Is it quoting an already-existing hymn? Is its Christology one of pre-existence? How does the exalted status it attributes to Jesus relate to Jewish monotheism? How do its echoes of Jewish scripture relate to its meaning? This paper seeks to bring these several perspectives on the passage together, asking how the oral delivery of ancient letters would affect hearers' perception of the meaning of quotations and allusions embedded within them, and as a consequence, how this would impact the persuasiveness or otherwise of the epistle's argument. The persuasive effect of utilizing authoritative Scripture depended on either agreeing with the meaning of the texts echoed as it would be perceived by the hearer, or otherwise clearly transforming and reinterpreting the texts' meaning, so as to use them to persuade the audience to draw the new conclusions advocated. The paper seeks to demonstrate that the texts echoed in Philippians 2:6-11 are used in the former rather than the latter manner, and will discuss the implications for our understanding of Pauline Christology.

Suarez, Barkley, Sturridge – who'll be a star at this year's World Cup? Merseyside players have had mixed fortunes in the tournament over the years. John Hinton looks at five examples. (This article is taken from Issue 5 of The Merseysider magazine. Cartoons by Spanner.)
Alan Ball
Alan Ball was 21 and weeks away from joining Everton when he won a World Cup winners' medal at Wembley in July 1966. Also in the team that memorable afternoon were Liverpool's magisterial striker Roger Hunt and Everton's Ray Wilson, often described as England's finest ever full back.
Ball didn't play in all of the early tournament matches, but for the quarter-final against Argentina manager Alf Ramsey settled on the team that would play through to the end of the championship, and Ball was in it. He became the engine room of the midfield, a perpetual motion machine whose gritty, hardworking approach complemented Bobby Charlton's artistry and flair. The quarter-final is most remembered for some brutal Argentinian tackling and for the furore that followed the dismissal of the Argentine captain, Antonio Rattin. England won 1 – 0 and with the final now in sight the whole country was behind them. The semi-final against Portugal was a glorious match, with some beautiful football from both sides and England the 2 – 1 victors.
The dramatic events of the final against West Germany need little repetition here. The sides exchanged the lead during the first 90 minutes then, in extra time, there was Geoff Hurst's disputed goal, which hit the crossbar and bounced over (or on) the goal line. Roger Hunt could have followed it in, but it's been said the way he did react – throwing his hands up in celebration – helped to convince the linesman it was a goal. With some of the German players famously thinking it was all over, Hurst completed his hat trick at the death to seal a 4 – 2 victory.
Ball was one of England's best players that day, his tireless running throughout the 120 minutes prompting one journalist to compare him to the legendary runner Emil Zatopek. After the official banquet in the evening, Ball and some of the other players celebrated by going to watch Ronnie Corbett performing in cabaret. A different era indeed.
Gary Lineker
Gary Lineker can be a very irritating television presenter, but he was some player – and unlike many his club form was often duplicated when he played for England. In the 1986 and 1990 World Cup tournaments he scored 10 goals in 12 matches.
In Mexico in 1986 he scored a hat trick against Poland in the first stage and another couple against Paraguay in the second round. Then came a quarter-final against Argentina, where he made up an Everton quartet alongside Peter Reid, Gary Stevens and Trevor Steven. There was already historic (and, after the Falklands war, partly political) bad feeling between the two sides. Peter Reid later recalled, 'I've played in big games in club football, but I can't tell you what the atmosphere was like that day. We were the enemy, without a doubt.' England lost 2 – 1; Argentina's first was Maradona's notorious 'hand of God' goal, but there could be no complaints about his second, which crowned a wondrous dribble. Barcelona's interest in Lineker was strengthened by his World Cup display and they signed him after the championship.
The 1990 tournament in Italy was England's best performance of recent decades. Lineker was again prolific en route to a semi-final against the old enemy, Germany. He scored again, but England lost on penalties (though Lineker converted his). The footage from the game that's most often shown is of Paul Gascoigne bursting into tears after getting booked; Lineker looks at the bench as if to say, 'Watch him – his head's gone.' It was the beginning of Gascoigne's ill-starred celebrity status.
John Aldridge
The Republic of Ireland have only reached three World Cup tournaments, and two of those occasions (1990 and 1994) were during Jack Charlton's managerial reign. Big Jack's side won the hearts of fans all over the world with their resilient, never-say-die approach. It wasn't pretty, but it was effective enough to defeat Italy in 1994 and get them to the quarter-finals in 1990.
John Aldridge, a key member of the team, was eligible to play for them because of his Irish grandmother. He was one of a band of players (Liverpool's Ray Houghton was another) who to all other intents and purposes were English. They were branded 'mercenaries' by some, but their commitment to the Irish cause soon silenced the critics.
Aldridge's personal moment of worldwide fame was actually on the touchline rather than the pitch – a bizarre, protracted argument with a UEFA official in the 1994 game against Mexico. Charlton had already rowed with UEFA officialdom over the difficulties of getting water to players who were wilting under the searing heat (so vocal was he on the issue that Terry Venables speculated he might be moonlighting for a water company). When attempts to bring Aldo on as a substitute suffered interminable delay, swear words, insults and water bottles flew as Charlton and Aldridge both turned on the hapless official. Impressively, some of Aldridge's rant was in Spanish, possibly because there were so many Mexicans around (unfortunately the official was Egyptian).
The incident overshadowed the fine headed goal Aldridge scored when he eventually came on. Ireland still lost 2 – 1, but Aldo's goal meant they got through to the next round on goal difference. Ironically, despite a phenomenal career record of 476 goals in all competitions it was the only goal he scored in a World Cup tournament.
Michael Owen
Sadly, Michael Owen's international career never quite lived up to the promise of the wonder goal he scored as an 18 year old against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup tournament. He's not alone in this, a member (like Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerrard) of an under-achieving 'golden generation' of English players.
He came to the 1998 World Cup in France on the back of a promising first full season with Liverpool. Even so, he wasn't assured of a place in Glenn Hoddle's starting line-up and was on the bench for the early games. But he was picked to start against Argentina in the second round. The match began at breakneck pace, with a sixth minute penalty goal for Argentina followed by an equalising England penalty four minutes later after Owen was fouled. A little over fifteen minutes had elapsed when Owen set off on a dazzling, high speed run from the centre circle. He waltzed past two Argentinian players then buried the ball in the top left corner of the net. It was the launchpad for his career, and Owen was a superstar from that moment on. As for the game, Argentina equalised, Beckham was famously (and somewhat harshly) sent off for a petulant kick and England inevitably lost on penalties.
The highlight of the rest of Michael Owen's England career was a hat trick in 2001's celebrated 5 – 1 defeat of Germany in a World Cup qualifying match. In the subsequent 2002 tournament in Japan, he scored in the quarter-final against Brazil to put England 1 – 0 up, but the South Americans deservedly turned things round and won 2 – 1. In 2006 in Germany his performances were hampered by injuries and England again went out in the quarter-final.
Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney has the chance to redeem himself at this year's World Cup Finals, but as things stand he's the epitome of England's seemingly unending malaise. His electrifying performances for Everton brought an early call-up (aged 17) to the national squad, and records soon began to tumble: England's youngest ever international player, then their youngest ever goal scorer. But though his massive potential was frequently (if not totally) fulfilled at club level, for England it's all been a bit of a damp squib.
2006 was the year of the WAGs as well as of Rooney's first World Cup tournament. The media circus surrounding the players' wives and girlfriends at that year's championship in Germany wasn't entirely their own fault, but it all added to the general impression of players who off the pitch led lives of pampered excess while on it they couldn't deliver the goods when it mattered. They rarely impressed on their way to the quarter-final and another defeat on penalties, to Portugal. Rooney was sent off for stamping on a player who'd fouled him. There was a suspicion that the Portuguese, aware of Rooney's volatility, had deliberately sought to provoke him, and Ronaldo's wink to his bench (implying 'job done') seemed to confirm this.
A veil is best drawn over 2010, when an abysmal England achieved one win in four games and were thrashed 4 – 1 by Germany in the second round. Rooney's churlish response to the fans' discontent after a goalless draw against Algeria didn't do the team any favours either.
Rooney has yet to score at a World Cup tournament. Barring injuries he'll no doubt be there again in Brazil this summer, and it should help that this time there's so little pressure. England go into the Finals with expectations the lowest they've ever been – but don't be surprised if an early victory or two doesn't start raising those deluded hopes again…

Hyperbole (/haɪˈpɜːrbəli/; Ancient Greek: ὑπερβολή, huperbolḗ, from ὑπέρ (hupér, 'above') and βάλλω (bállō, 'I throw')) is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. In rhetoric, it is also sometimes known as auxesis (literally 'growth'). In poetry and oratory, it emphasizes, evokes strong feelings, and creates strong impressions. As a figure of speech, it is usually not meant to be taken literally.[1][2]
|Look up hyperbole in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Hyperbole may also be used for instances such as, exaggerations for emphasis or effect. Hyperboles are often used in casual speech as intensifiers,[3][4] such as saying "the bag weighed a ton".[5] Hyperbole makes the point that the speaker found the bag to be extremely heavy, although it was nothing like a literal ton".[6] The rhetorical device makes a point that could not be conveyed with standard or literal language, or, at least, not stated as effectively. For example, "If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away" (Matthew 5:29). Some may take this literally, but most would understand Jesus' saying as a bold overstatement to make a point.[7] Understanding hyperboles and their use in context can further one's ability to understand the messages being sent from the speaker. The use of hyperboles generally relays feelings or emotions from the speaker, or from those who the speaker may talk about. Hyperbole can be used in a form of humor, excitement, distress, and many other emotions, all depending on the context in which the speaker uses it.[8]

Caramel color leaders stress FCC compliance as new maximum limit on detectable 4-MeI enters force in California
06 Dec 2018 --- Major caramel colors suppliers Sethness and DDW The Color House (DDW) have stressed their compliance with Food Chemical Codex (FCC) revised limits in light of the implementation of California's Proposition 65 (Prop 65) list of chemicals.
Effective from December 1, 2018, FCC has established a new maximum limit of detectable 4-MeI in caramel color of 125ppm on a color intensity basis. This new limit applies to the caramel color itself, not to the finished products the caramel color is used in.
The FCC, an international food safety organization, recently completed a comprehensive, multi-year review of the monograph for Sethness Caramel Colors. FCC has also addressed the desire of many organizations to review the maximum level of 4-MethylImidazole (4-MeI) in caramel color in the wake of concerns raised by the inclusion of 4-MeI on the State of California's Proposition 65 (Prop 65) list of chemicals. Fellow supplier, DDW, confirmed that "all of DDW's caramel colors already meet the revised FCC limits."
August 30, 2018, marked the start of the full effect of Proposition 65 (Prop 65) in the State of California which requires companies to call out specific names of potentially harmful chemicals that have been included on the list and add a warning symbol on the product if they exceed acceptable levels. Also known as the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act, the full effect of Prop 65 has been a long time coming and August 30, 2018, marked the beginning of the regulation that was initially adopted in the US in August 2016.
Prop 65 requires the State of California to maintain and update a list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity and has large-scale implications for products that need to carry a warning and warning symbol (an exclamation mark against a yellow background).
Founded in the US in 1880, Sethness is a producer of high-quality caramel color for the food & beverage sectors, thanks to four manufacturing facilities located in the US, France, India and China. It provides a large selection of caramel colors (in liquid and powdered forms) as well as a variety of clean label caramel color options, which are non-GMO, certified organic, gluten-free and allergen-free.
Required revisions to the monograph include updated analytical testing protocols and instrumentation, according to the FCC.
With over 150 years of innovation in the development and supply of caramel coloring, DDW says they "take food safety and product quality very seriously."
In light of the recent FCC compliance, Global Quality Manager at DDW, Sibusiso Ngubeni, sent the following statement to FoodIngredientsFirst: "DDW has always complied with FCC standards. During the latest monograph review of caramel color, our industry supplied purity data and analytical methods to the FCC to consider new limits. All of DDW's caramel colors already meet the revised FCC limits."
Both the International and European Technical Caramel Associations were actively involved with FCC in helping to identify the new level. Sethness Products can no longer manufacture and sell those caramel colors that exceed these limits in countries, including the US, that follow FCC guidelines, the company notes.
Sethness had anticipated the possibility of a downward revision of the 4-MeI maximum in the FCC monograph level. A review of the Sethness library of more than 80 commercially available caramel colors determined that 12 of them would not be able to meet this new maximum limit.
For the past two years, the company has developed replacement caramel colors for the ones that must be discontinued. The goal was to have replacement caramel colors that were virtually identical to, with the exception of the lower 4-MeI value, the caramel colors being discontinued, says the company. Sethness has been successful in achieving that goal and these caramel colors are readily available, according to reports.
In September, Roquette completed the acquisition of Sethness, further leveraging both companies' global capabilities in caramel colors. Before the acquisition, Sethness and Roquette already had a strong partnership and operated two successful joint-ventures in France (Merville) and China (Lianyungang).

Ties to your home country
Under U.S. law, all applicants for nonimmigrant visas, such as student visas, are viewed as intending immigrants until they can convince the consular officer that they are not. You must therefore be able to show that you have reasons for returning to your home country that are stronger than those for remaining in the United States.
Anticipate that the interview will be conducted in English and not in your native language.
Speak for Yourself
Do not bring parents or family members with you to the interview.
Know the Program and How It Fits Your Career Plans
If you are not able to articulate the reasons you will study in a particular program in the United States, you may not succeed in convincing the consular officer that you are indeed planning to study, rather than to immigrate.
Be Brief
Because of the volume of applications received, all consular officers are under considerable time pressure to conduct a quick and efficient interview.
Additional Documentation
It should be immediately clear to the consular officer what written documents you are presenting and what they signify.
Not All Countries are Equal
Applicants from countries suffering economic problems or from countries where many students have remained in the United States as immigrants will have more difficulty getting visas.
Your main purpose in coming to the United States should be to study, not for the chance to work before or after graduation.
Dependents Remaining at Home
If your spouse and children are remaining behind in your country, be prepared to address how they will support themselves in your absence.
Maintain a Positive Attitude
Do not engage the consular officer in an argument. If you are denied a student visa, ask the officer for a list of documents he or she would suggest you bring in order to overcome the refusal, and try to get the reason you were denied in writing.

This Wednesday, May 18, 2011 the Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe. The first ride of Silence was in 2003 in Dallas, Since then it has spread to hundreds of locations across the world. 297 ride locations have been confirmed for this year and the list of ride locations here. The details for the Colorado Springs Ride of Silence are below.
Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for those who have been killed or injured.
Colorado Springs Ride of Silence
David Peal is once again helping me organize the Colorado Springs Ride of Silence. The Ride of Silence in Colorado Springs is meeting at Old Town Bike Shop at 426 South Tejon Street. The ride isn't organized by them. It's just a group of cyclist getting together to honor those who have been killed or injured while riding their bikes.
This year we're going to ride about 7.5 miles in the downtown Colorado Springs area. The map for the approximate route is here. The ride is also done at a slow pace so anyone can ride it and keep up.
Meet at 6:45 PM so there's time to read the Ride of Silence Poem, tape on a sign, put on a black arm band, etc. and be ready to roll at 7 PM. Rides of Silence I've done in the past have been pushing dusk so we need to get started on time and stay safe. If you have lights, bringing them wouldn't be a bad idea.
There's a Facebook event for the Colorado Springs Ride of Silence. You don't have to RSVP but if you do, we'll be able to send you last minute updates.

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development provides an integrated framework for action aimed at markedly improving the lives of the world's people, protecting the Earth's natural resources, and fostering peaceful, just and inclusive societies. Given the critical interlinkages among peace, development and human rights and the importance of an integrated system-wide response to challenges that threaten to undermine sustainable development, an analytical framework on risk and resilience was developed to provide a more proactive, risk-informed and prevention-centered approach to United Nations system efforts in support of the 2030 Agenda.

The Summit invited the Secretary-General to develop proposals for "more tightly managed entities in the field of development, humanitarian assistance and the environment" (General Assembly resolution 60/1). Accordingly, in February 2006, the Secretary-General set up the High-level Panel on United Nations System-wide Coherence in the Areas of Development, Humanitarian Assistance and the Environment to undertake a study on United Nations system-wide coherence, with the participation of the Chairs of HLCP and the United Nations Development Group (UNDG) in an ex officio capacity.

Humanitarianism in the Network Age (HINA) examines the implications for how a world of increasingly informed, connected and self-reliant communities will affect the delivery of humanitarian aid. It lays out some of the most pertinent features of these new technologies, such as SMS, social media and others, and identifies the opportunities and difficulties in applying them.
Since the landmark General Assembly resolution 46/182, the international humanitarian system has grown and evolved tremendously. The humanitarian caseload has increased due to new and protracted complex emergencies and conflict, natural disasters occur with more frequency and intensity, and global challenges increase vulnerability and create new or exacerbate existing humanitarian needs. In addition, the operating environment for humanitarian actors has also become increasingly complex.
World Humanitarian Data and Trends is an annual OCHA publication that presents global and country-level data and trends analysis on humanitarian crises and assistance. It provides data that helps to support policy-making and operational decisions.
This document sets out OCHA's plan and budget for 2012 and 2013. We aim to strengthen our operations in all areas during this time, building on the ongoing reforms taking place in the global humanitarian system. We need a system that is inclusive and flexible.
OCHA's 2016 Annual Report, launched today, takes stock of the organization's actions across the globe.
In 2016, the humanitarian community was challenged as never before, with unprecedented levels of humanitarian suffering that left 130 million people needing emergency assistance for their survival and protection. The report underlines the role of OCHA, Member States, UN agencies and civil-society partners in ensuring that the most vulnerable people in crises received timely and quality humanitarian assistance.

Haiti was a disasterlong before the Jan. 12 earthquake. Six months later, reconstruction has stalled. At least 1.5 million people live in tent cities. Some 2 million face malnutrition. In some areas, workers are removing the rubble of downed buildings in buckets because they lack heavy equipment and there are no roads to get equipment to the sites. The international community needs to step up the pace and bring cash to the table before the humanitarian crisis gets any worse.
The world community reacted immediately and generously after the earthquake to send aid, relief workers and hundreds of millions of dollars to rebuild the Caribbean nation, the poorest in the Western Hemisphere. But that effort is at an impasse, the result of an ongoing debate over whether to focus aid money on immediate relief or on longer-term development. This is a chance to rebuild the fundamentals in Haiti - housing, infrastructure, the economy and governance. It makes no sense to merely replace the dilapidated foundations the earthquake destroyed.
But aid groups need to balance that longer view with a clearer eye toward Haiti's more immediate humanitarian needs. Allowing homelessness, hunger and crime to worsen only weakens the security necessary for redevelopment projects to get up and running. Donors also want to start seeing some results. The American Red Cross and other aid groups were enormously successful in raising money because the scope of the devastation shocked the world. But aid groups have spent only a fraction of the money they have raised, socking away a half-billion dollars for reconstruction instead of relief efforts.
Former President Bill Clinton, the United Nations' special envoy to Haiti, was a superb choice to co-chair the interim commission on rebuilding Haiti. He brings a wealth of contacts, instant name recognition and an understanding of Haiti's systemic problems and needs. Clinton needs to bring transparency to the rebuilding effort so that foreign donors and multinationals commit over the long term. He needs the United Nations to pledge technical assistance to rebuild Haiti's civil service. And foreign governments need to honor their financial pledges. Donor nations have provided only 10 percent of the $2.5 billion in aid they have promised for 2010. Haiti needs ready access to cash to sustain an orderly redevelopment effort.
Haitians worried about this year's hurricane season are already rebuilding their homes with debris they have scavenged from junk piles. If the recovery effort continues to lag, ordinary Haitians will lose confidence in the reconstruction effort and in their government, and they will replicate the weak foundations that have long plagued Haitian society. Clinton needs to create a greater sense of urgency in Haiti and abroad before the nation slips even further from the public eye, as elections, the BP oil spill and tomorrow's news competes for public attention - and money. The people of Haiti still need a tremendous amount of help, and emergency needs have to be met before long-term urban planning will be successful.

Monday Coffee Reads
If nothing else, this op-ed from the Washington Post has one of the best lines on the Bush Administration and Climate Change I have seen in a while.
Changing Climate on Climate – washingtonpost.com: "Indeed, it is difficult to imagine that the intransigence of Mr. Bush's administration on climate change will long survive his tenure, no matter who succeeds him. Will he take a hand in developing America's response to this global problem, or will he go down as the president who fiddled while Greenland melted?"
Let's hope they are right about the change coming next week.
This little tidbit from Robert Novak really hit me like a blast from the past…
Losing Nicaragua Again – washingtonpost.com:"Oliver North and his associates were leaving Managua last Tuesday on a private plane after a dramatic surprise visit when they heard news they could scarcely comprehend. The State Department had just issued a "public announcement" that, in effect, warned Americans not to travel to Nicaragua because of the prospect for "violent demonstrations" and "sporadic acts of violence" leading up to the Nov. 5 presidential election there."
Does Oliver North still have the ability to bring out the high dollar donors for the Republican Party? Why this reference to the darling of the Reagan Republicans at this time.
Oliver North and the reaction the non-delegate attendees at the '92 Convention had to him was one of the things that pushed me completely into backing only Democratic Party Candidates (unless, as happens often in rural Texas, you can't find a Democrat which means you vote Green of Libertarian or even Socialist to vote against the Republican Party). I think it was the way they fawned over a man , who by all accounts I had seen, should have been in prison not walking around with bodyguards at a Political Convention.
Then you have this…
"That buttresses suspicion that the U.S. government wants to keep away meddling Americans like North, who seek to influence an election that now appears likely to return Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas to power after an absence of 16 years."
My God, is Oliver North still "meddling" in Nicaragua after all these years?
Time to hit the road…more later.
I apologize for the political nature of the above, my only excuse is that is what is in the news…

While most people are asleep in bed, MBTA workers scout the transit system like night owls making sure everything is in safe, working order for the morning commute.
And they only have a small window of time to get it all done.
A new documentary set for release this week highlights the operations of MBTA employees who work odd hours ensuring the T runs as smoothly as possible for millions of transit riders each day.
The mini-movie, "Boston Under: After Hours," follows workers around from 1:30 a.m. until 5 a.m., over the span of several months, while they conduct emergency maintenance work and tend to track repairs.
"I'm amazed some days when I see what they accomplish in such a short window of time," said Pat Kineavy, director of physical infrastructure and maintenance. "No matter how long I've done it, I still go out there and get chills watching them work."
Kineavy is featured in the 44-minute documentary, which delves into the depths of the tunnels, explores the troubles on the tracks and introduces riders to the faces behind the late-night fixes.
"At the end of the night, [the work] is done, the lights go on and no one pays attention to it," said Kineavy. "But all of the crews are very connected. … It's that sense of accomplishment and camaraderie, working together when the clock is ticking."
While diligence plays a major role during work hours, Kineavy said safety is the T's top priority.
"Safety is number one, and giving service back to the public," he said.
Riders can watch the documentary on YouTube and on the T's website.
The film was produced by the MBTA and volunteers from the media department at the Department of Revenue. It took eight months to finish the project at no cost to the T.
It's the T's turn to talk
Riders constantly air their grievances when it comes to the T, but now it's going both ways: A portion of the film lets MBTA workers vent about things passengers do that are frustrating or unsafe.
People walking too close to the Green Line tracks, cars cutting in front of above-ground trains, riders over-packing doorways and intoxicated persons acting aloof underground were just some of the annoyances discussed in the documentary.

UPDATE (February 21, 2019 3:45 p.m.):
Baltimore County Police are releasing the names of the officers who fired their service weapons after being threatened by a suspect holding a machete inside the Aldi store located in the 8600-block of Liberty Road, 21133 on February 19, 2019.
Police Officer First Class Sands is a 2 ½ -year veteran of the Department and is assigned to the Woodlawn Precinct. Police Officer First Class Waugh is a 3-year veteran of the Department and is also assigned to the Woodlawn Precinct. Neither officer has been involved in any previous shooting incidents. The investigation is on-going at this time.
UPDATE (February 20, 2019 3:45 p.m.):
The suspect shot by police after advancing toward them with a machete has died. He is identified as Emanuel David Joshua Oates (24) with no fixed address.
Original Release (February 20, 2019 2:15 p.m.):
A man wielding a machete was critically injured in a police-involved shooting in Randallstown yesterday afternoon.
An on-duty Baltimore County Police Officer was investigating a vehicle collision on the parking lot near the Aldi grocery store at the Liberty Court Shopping Center in the 8600 block of Liberty Road, 21133 around 4:17 p.m. yesterday when she was approached by an employee of Dollar Tree. The employee pointed out a suspect that just committed a shoplifting at the store. The officer approached the suspect to investigate, but the suspect continued to walk away from her toward Old Court Road.
Once on Old Court Road, the officer made numerous attempts to stop and talk to the suspect but he refused to cooperate and continued to walk away down the middle of the road. Additional officers arrived and attempted to assist in stopping the suspect, who began to flee. One officer grabbed the suspect by the arm as he was fleeing, but the suspect pulled a machete out from under his jacket and swung the knife at that officer.
Officers pursued the suspect as he fled back to the shopping center and inside the Aldi store, occupied by employees and customers, wielding the machete. Officers maintained a safe distance from the suspect as they gave commands for him to drop the weapon. The suspect advanced toward the officers, causing them to back up into a wall near the entrance of the store. The officers continued to order the suspect to drop the weapon but he advanced toward them. Two officers fired their duty weapons at the suspect, who was struck at least once in the upper body.
The officers retrieved the machete and rendered aid to the suspect, who was critically injured during the incident and was transported to an area hospital.
Detectives from the Baltimore County Police Homicide Unit are continuing their investigation into this incident today, at the conclusion of which will be reviewed by the State's Attorney's Office for Baltimore County. Body-worn camera video of the incident was captured and may be made available by the State's Attorney's Office at a later time.
The release of the names of the officers involved in the shooting is forthcoming. Both officers are on routine administrative leave pending the conclusion of the investigation.

Federal Charges Filed in Case Involving Alleged Theft of Trade Secrets from Utah Company
|U.S. Attorney's Office May 07, 2012
SALT LAKE CITY—Two individuals and two companies are charged with theft of trade secrets, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with the alleged theft of trade secrets from Orbit Irrigation Products Inc., a sprinkler and irrigation company headquartered in Utah, in an indictment unsealed Monday.
Charged in the indictment are Janice Kuang Capener, age 32, and Luo Jun, age 36, citizens of the People's Republic of China; Sunhills International LLC, a California company established by Capener; and Zhejiang Hongchen Irrigation Equipment Co. LTD, a Chinese manufacturer of irrigation equipment that had a contractual relationship with Orbit to manufacture some of its products. The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury in Salt Lake City in late April.
Capener, who is a lawful permanent resident of the United States, was employed by Orbit Irrigation Products from about June 16, 2003 until about November 1, 2009. From about March 14, 2005 until about May 13, 2009, Capener was in charge of operations at an Orbit manufacturing plant in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, China. She was notified of her termination in May 2009 and worked as a paid consultant for the company until her termination was finalized in November of that year.
Luo Jun was the chief executive officer and owner of Zhejiang Hongchen Irrigation Equipment Co. LTD.
The first five counts of the indictment charge Capener with theft of trade secrets. The indictment alleges that she took information related to customers and the pricing and sales of sprinkler and irrigation products without authorization from secure Orbit databases and used that information for herself and others to the economic detriment of Orbit.
The sixth count of the indictment charges Capener, Luo Jun, Sunhills International and Zhejiang Hongchen Irrigation Equipment with conspiracy to commit wire fraud. The indictment alleges the defendants devised a scheme to begin undermining Orbit's position in the marketplace using illegally obtained proprietary pricing information.
As a part of the alleged scheme, the defendants used Sunhills International to market and distribute products. Luo Jun's company, Hongchen, would "float" or provide upfront free irrigation and sprinkler products to Sunhills to market to U.S. retailers, the indictment alleges. The defendants also, according to the indictment, took other steps to begin undermining Orbit's position in the marketplace, including an anonymous complaint to Walmart about conditions at Orbit's factory in Ningbo, and, despite their agreements to the contrary, Hongchen increased the manufacturing costs for the products it was manufacturing for Orbit.
The indictment alleges the defendants used manufacturing, cost, customer, and pricing information in contravention of confidentiality agreements with Orbit to begin pricing Orbit out of the market. The indictment references e-mails between defendants and others establishing business relationships in furtherance of the scheme; sharing proprietary cost, customer, and pricing information of Orbit; and arranging to undercut Orbit's prices by marketing products to Orbit customers at lower prices than Orbit's.
The final 12 counts of the indictment charge Capener, Luo Jun, and the two companies with wire fraud in connection with the scheme.
The case is being investigated by the FBI Salt Lake Field Office and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys in Salt Lake City. The Office of International Affairs in the Justice Department's Criminal Division also provided assistance.
Capener and Luo Jun were arrested in Las Vegas Friday morning. They had initial appearances Friday in federal court in Las Vegas. Luo Jun was detained and is scheduled for an identity hearing late Monday afternoon in Las Vegas. Capener was released following her appearance in Las Vegas. She appeared for an arraignment Monday afternoon in Salt Lake City. She entered a plea of not guilty to the charges. She will continue on her pre-trial release status which includes GPS monitoring and a curfew.
Each charge of theft of trade secrets carries a maximum sentence of 10 years and a fine of $250,000. The conspiracy to commit wire fraud count and each count of wire fraud carry maximum sentences of 30 years and fines of $1 million.
Indictments are allegations and are not findings of guilt. Individuals and businesses charged in indictments are presumed innocent unless or until proven guilty in court.

Disclaimer: I gladly receive absolutely zero compensation for my reviews; there are no affiliate links nor do I profit in any way. This is an unbiased review and is completely for your benefit.
When it comes to my websites.. including Profit Copilot, I do most of the design work myself – having a background in graphic design and web development sometimes pays off.
But over the last few years I've found it increasingly more productive to just hand that work over to someone else, so I can focus on running the business.
Obviously I'm proud of Profit Copilot and the customizations I've made to it… but, like most projects, you always see room for improvement.
That's why I went out hunting for someone I could work with on a regular basis, so they could manage the technical side of things.
During my search, I saw that Clickin Technologies were receiving good reviews on the Warrior Forum. So I sent them a quick message containing my design brief, with mock up.
I requested that they:
Shorten the length of the website header, overlay the logo on top of the navigation bar and add a second menu to the right hand side.
Simple stuff for a web development company, right?
I also needed to know how long it would take them to complete the project. This is important because I need to stick to a schedule.
Within a few minutes they responded with a quote, they were the quickest of all three companies I contacted, but did not provide a time scale until I asked a second time.
8 – 24 hours was the response.
Now, the speed at which they provided the quote struck me as slightly odd because the didn't make any inquiry about the theme I was using nor requested any technical information about the website.
Ok, they're professionals. They know what they're doing.
Payment was made and the next day they told me that the work I requested was 'done'. But it wasn't, the second menu hadn't been added.
A series of back and forth emails carried on for almost a week before Clickin Technologies informed me that my WordPress theme (Newspaper) prevented them from adding the menu.
This was very disappointing, especially considering the amount of times I had to nudge them for an update, or to check that things were progressing as their deadline had severely overrun.
They also created a resizing problem with the logo and failed to correct it, even after requests were made.
So that's what went wrong.
Here's what went right; the quality of the work that they did produce looked good and was almost what I envisaged. It only took a couple of emails to tweak it and get it spot on.
While at times communicating with them felt like pulling teeth, they were polite and courteous.
And they didn't quibble when I requested a 50% refund.
In the interest of balance and fairness, at the beginning of the project I let them know that I would be reviewing their services on this website. Their response:
"I will be highly obliged if you write something good about my services which will generate more leads."
I told them my review would be honest.
So, in all would I work with Clickin Technologies again? Probably not.
But at the same time I have no desire to harm their business, so I think if you just require very basic work and don't mind having to explain yourself a few times, then I can't see any problems with hiring them.
The quality of work is ok, if a little sloppy.

It works absolutely fine if I run the application with IIS on the same machine.

How can I get Visual Studio to build with the 64 bit DLL?

I have grown up in a tight-knit family with fascinating customs and traditions while also adopting the American-way of living and becoming a U.S. Citizen. I have spent many years studying French culture and through my education at USC, had the opportunity to further immerse myself by studying in France for some time. The combination of the three cultures have awakened a love for all things wanderlust and trying to share these experiences with those surrounding me in ways catered to them. Ever since I was a little girl I loved putting together tea parties, exotic shows and other such little events for my friends and family to enjoy. I have always had a euphoria for occasions where I get to play a part in helping provide magical moments that can ignite the soul and fervor the heart. Seeing this effect on my loved ones kindled a passion within me to work toward a goal where I would have the privilege to serve others and make these moments happen in their lives at a greater scale.
Today, I have conquered this goal and I only hope to improve each day as the years pass. I am blessed to be trilingual in English, Spanish and French all for the ultimate objective to serve you with the opportunity to offer something beyond. I live and stand with an inspired and motivated spirit to work with you and provide you with the experience you have always dreamt of to the very best of my abilities. This I hope to continue doing for you with elegance and charm.

Frederica – The Delaware State Police in conjunction with the Milford Police Department has arrested a man in connection with multiple robberies, shopliftings and theft charges, according to Public Information Officer, Master Corporal Melissa Jaffe.
Jaffe said the first incident occurred on Tuesday, November 14, 2017 at approximately 11:07 p.m. when Troopers responded to the Canterbury Shore Stop located at 8953 South DuPont Highway in Felton for a report of a shoplifting complaint. Investigation revealed that a white male subject entered the store and asked for two cartons of Newport cigarettes. When the store clerk placed the cartons on the counter, the subject grabbed them and ran out of the store, according to Jaffe. It was later determined that Milford Police had recently handled a similar incident in their jurisdiction. With their assistance and through video surveillance footage, the suspect was identified as 26-year-old Douglas F. Coppock of Frederica, said Jaffe.
The second shoplifting incident occurred on Thursday, November 15, 2017 at approximately 9:16 p.m. when Troopers responded to Uncle Willies, located at 12984 South DuPont Highway in Felton for a report of a shoplifting complaint, according to authorities. Investigation revealed that a white male subject requested to purchase one carton of Newport Short Cigarettes. When the store clerk placed the carton on the counter, the subject grabbed the carton of cigarettes and fled out the front entrance of the store in that incident as well, according to Jaffe. Through photographs and video surveillance footage, Douglas Coppock was again identified as the suspect, said Jaffe.
On Tuesday, November 16, 2017, Troopers responded to Coppock's residence in the 100 block of West Front Street in an attempt to serve a warrant. Coppock was located upstairs in the residence and was taken into custody without incident. Coppock was charged with two counts of Shoplifting, two counts of Conspiracy Second, unrelated charges including; Theft, Theft By False Pretense, and Falsifying Business Records, and multiple unrelated charges out of Milford Police Department, according to Jaffe. He was transported to Troop 3 where he was arraigned out of Justice of the Peace Court 2 and committed to James T. Vaughn Correctional Center on $22,0000 secured bail.

Ever wanted to talk like the hep cats? Well you can if you pick up a copy of Straight From The Fridge, Dad by Max Decharne. There's literally thousands of examples of hipster slang on offer, pulled from pulp novels, trash cinema, jazz and blues clubs, not to mention the coffee bars of the 50s and 60s.
If you want to know how to "tighten someone's wig", "hand out a line" or "make like a fish", you need this book. Or buy two – then just you and your mate can communicate in a language unknown to the rest of the bar!
As well as the endless examples of beat speak, the book features a whole host of trashy images in colour and black and white that'll have you rushing to eBay for a copy of "Dig A Dead Doll".
It's available now for around £7.

So I still haven't gotten around to buying batteries for my camera (mostly because I'm cheap) but I took a few pictures of my new studio with my cell phone, hence the not awesome quality. It's so fun putting my new space together. I feel like there will be a lot of inspiration in this room and that's what I need. A new space will do me good.My friend Janey bought this house-shaped box and decorated it just for me. Isn't it beautiful?
On the work front I start really working yesterday at the restaurant and I really like it a lot. I like all the people I work with and it's nice to have a job that makes me active. I like moving around a lot. I think I may just be a good waitress after all. I was super nervous about going into work today. I was feeling really insecure and it made me think about how I feel like I've gotten more insecure with age. When I was younger I was fearless and defiant. I was who I was with no apologies. I wish I could still be that way. I'll try my best to channel that angsty teen girl who kept her head up no matter what. Do any of you all notice a difference between yourself now and then for better or for worst?
Hope your Thursday is great!
Don't forget the giveaway here.

TweetDeck Home page
|Original author(s)
|Iain Dodsworth
|Twitter Inc.
|Initial release
|July 4, 2008
|Stable release
|Google Chrome, macOS
|2.9 MB (MacOS), 7.74 KB (Chrome Web Store)
|Twitter client
TweetDeck is a social media dashboard application for management of Twitter accounts. Originally an independent app, TweetDeck was subsequently acquired by Twitter Inc. and integrated into Twitter's interface.
It is similar to Twitter's "Dashboard App" that was discontinued in 2016.[3]
Like other Twitter applications, it interfaces with the Twitter API to allow users to send and receive tweets and view profiles. It was the most popular Twitter application with a 23% market share as of June 2010, following only the official Twitter website with 45.7% share for posting new status updates.[4]
It can be used as a web app,[5] MacOS app[6] or a Chrome app.[7]
User interface[edit]
TweetDeck consists of a series of customisable columns, which can be set up to display the user's Twitter timeline, mentions, direct messages, lists, trends, favorites, search results, hashtags, or all tweets by or to a single user. The client uses Twitter's own automatic and invisible URL shortening whereby a link of any length will only use 23 characters of a Tweet's 280-character limit. All columns can be filtered to include or exclude words or tweets from users. Tweets can be sent immediately or scheduled for later delivery.
Users can monitor multiple accounts simultaneously. For added account security, users signing in with their Twitter username and password can use Twitter's own two-step verification, known to Twitter users as Login Verification.
As of May 2015, TweetDeck added a "confirmation step" feature, giving users the option to require an extra step before sending a tweet.[8] A February 2018 change to the Twitter API restricted the ability of TweetDeck and other third-party applications from sending mass tweets due to concerns over abuse of bots mass posting content and posts. The change also restricts ability of using multiple accounts via the API.[9][10]
Product history[edit]
July 4, 2008 – first version of TweetDeck,[11] originally an independent Twitter app by Iain Dodsworth, was released.[12]
June 19, 2009 – iPhone version released.
May 2010 – iPad version released.
October 2010 – Android version made available after a public beta period.
May 25, 2011 – Twitter acquired TweetDeck.
September 15, 2011 – TweetDeck tweeted that new updates for all versions would be released and that "As part of the process of making TweetDeck more consistent with Twitter.com & Twitter's mobile apps, we're removing deck.ly from our apps."[13] Many users expressed their anger at this feature removal in the comments on the iOS and Android Market.[14] Deck.ly previously allowed users to post tweets in excess of 140 characters.
December 8, 2011 – Twitter released a new version branded "TweetDeck by Twitter", as part of Twitter's redesign of its services. TweetDeck changed from an Adobe AIR application to a native Windows and Mac OS X application in this release, introducing a web version of TweetDeck for WebKit-based browsers based on TweetDeck's existing Google Chrome app. The update dropped support for LinkedIn,[15] Google Buzz, Foursquare, MySpace accounts.
March 4, 2013 – TweetDeck announced in a blog post that they would be suspending mobile versions of TweetDeck including TweetDeck AIR, TweetDeck for iPhone and TweetDeck for Android, which were removed from their respective app stores in May. TweetDeck said they would "focus our development efforts on our modern, web-based versions".[16]
May 2, 2013 – Users were informed that 'Facebook is no longer supported in TweetDeck', and Facebook accounts and Facebook columns would be removed on May 7.[17]
July 25, 2013 – at 12:00 PM EDT US, Twitter turned off API v1 which effectively shut down the Android, iOS, and AIR versions of TweetDeck.
December 11, 2013 – Twitter began allowing new TweetDeck users to sign in with their Twitter usernames and passwords, removing the previous barrier-to-entry requiring users to register a separate TweetDeck account. In a blog post, Twitter said "When single sign in is fully available to all current users, we'll also make it possible to seamlessly integrate your current TweetDeck settings and preferences"[18]
June 11, 2014 – A cross-site scripting vulnerability in TweetDeck was discovered, leading to a self-replicating tweet that affected over 83,000 Twitter users.[19]
April 15, 2016 – The Windows App ceased functioning on April 15, 2016.[20][21]
Originally, as it is now, TweetDeck was aimed towards the Twitter social networking service. Over the years, TweetDeck introduced support for other social networks, but has since removed that support.
On March 16, 2009, a pre-release version was released featuring Facebook status updates integration.[22][23] As of April 8, 2009, Facebook status updates were part of the standard program.[24] From version 0.30 TweetDeck also supported MySpace integration.[25] Version 0.32, released on November 30, 2009, added LinkedIn integration and new Twitter features.[26] In May 2010 TweetDeck also added integration with the Google Buzz and Foursquare social networks.
In 2012 TweetDeck reverted to only supporting Twitter and Facebook, ending support for LinkedIn,[15] MySpace, and the now defunct Google Buzz effective June 2012.
In May 2013, TweetDeck removed support for Facebook accounts.[27]
All unofficial variants of TweetDeck stopped working in early May 2013 because of more restrictive API version 1.1.[28]
TweetDeck Ltd (company)[edit]
A year after launching TweetDeck in 2008, Iain Dodsworth received his initial $300,000 seed funding from The Accelerator Group, Howard Lindzon, Taavet Hinrikus, Gerry Campbell, Roger Ehrenberg, betaworks, Brian Pokorny, and Bill Tai. The company raised a Series A round of funding with many of these same investors, and Ron Conway, Danny Rimer, and the SV Angel group.
On May 25, 2011, TweetDeck was bought by Twitter for £25 million,[29] after a bidding war with Bill Gross's UberMedia.[30]
On January 22, 2013, The American directors of Twitter were sent a letter by Companies House (the United Kingdom Registrar of Companies) warning them that their UK subsidiary company TweetDeck Ltd. was at risk of closure, over missed accounting deadlines.[31] This had no bearing on the product or service which was by then run by Twitter, not by TweetDeck Ltd, which was officially struck off the business register by Companies House, and dissolved, for failure to file accounts for 2011.[32]

A Swedish appeals court has ruled that the parents of a young boy cannot legally name him the letter Q.
Kammarratten appeals court handed down the ruling after an unidentified couple asked that their son's name officially be Q because they had been calling him that since he was born.
The parents of the boy in northwestern Sweden's Jamtland province told the court that the boy, whose age was not released, responds to Q and everyone knows him as that, UPI reported.
They argued that since this is what they consider his name, what he considers himself and what he is known as, he should be allowed to keep Q as his name.
Lansratten administrative court also had rejected the argument saying the name failed to satisfy basic linguistic requirements. The higher court said Q is a letter of the alphabet not typically used as a first name.
Cue, maybe?
Shhhh, don't tell Suzy Q:

We recently launched our first 360 camera on a balloon that we use to scatter cremated ashes. We take customers up to at least 70K feet before scattering them for the Earth's winds to carry the ashes all over the world. The video turned out pretty well. We are doing 5 customer launches in the next month so we'll have plenty more to share.
So cool! Great video and very unique idea. Do you only fly ashes for one customer at a time or do you do several at once? Do you do anything special to make it easier to recover the balloon or make sure the ash dispenser doesn't get damaged on landing?
What 360 degree camera did you use? Looks really cool!
