Disability Access Service Goes Digital at Walt Disney World
After scanning the MagicBand/ticket, the system will automatically assign a return time based on the current wait time of the attraction. As stated earlier, the policies have not changed; therefore, the return time will be the current wait time minus 10 minutes (i.e. if the attraction's wait time is 60 minutes, the Guests using the DAS system will have to come back in 50 minutes). While the Cast Member will give a specific return time, Guests using the DAS system may come back anytime after their return time window has started (i.e. if the return time was 12:30 p.m., Guests may come back from 12:30 p.m. to the closing time of the attraction).
As always, Guests using the DAS will only be able to have one active return time (for example, if a Guest has a return time for Space Mountain and then decides to get a return time also for Pirates of the Caribbean, the unused return time for Space Mountain will be dropped).
In the meantime, Guests using the updated DAS system may check their return time on the My Disney Experience app or using in-park FastPass+ kiosks (NOTE: the return time CANNOT be modified by Guests or by FastPass+ Cast Members and will be displayed in view-only mode).
WARNING: This is a very important step. The first MagicBand/ticket to be scanned at the attractions's FastPass+ entrance has to be the one belonging to the Guest with a disability, who has to be present to ride. If the Guest with a disability chooses not to ride, the rest of the party will be unable to use the return time and will be directed to the Stand-by line.
When scanning, the touch points at the FastPass+ entrance will always illuminate blue. This does not mean that something is wrong, but gives an opportunity to the Cast Member to stop for a second and check that the photo showing on the FastPass+ screen matches the Guest with the disability. Cast Members working at busy attractions usually do not look at the screen if the touch point immediately turns green. This updated system will help to avoid having people riding without the Guest with a disability.

What happens if you have more than 6 in your group?
Like in the old system, only 6 people can use the return time. If you have a larger party, not everyone can use the return time to skip the line.
I know that this is subject to change, but what has been described here sounds like a more efficient (vs. the old paper system) manner to execute the DAS.
For Melissa Ward and Anonymous, I think that it pretty much depends on the CM that you interface with at Guest Relations. Last year, I overheard a man tell the Guest Relations CM that he had a party of 12 (but, that he was aware of the limit of 6). The CM explained that he could make an exception. As I recall, the CM put the number "12" on the DAS and signed his name to the card. The CM just asked the guest to make sure that he had all of the members of the party with him when the Return Time came up. The guest appeared to be very appreciative of the accomodation.
@All previous comments: With the updated system, only UP TO 6 Guests can be under one single DAS reservation. If there is more than one Guest with a disability, then it becomes 6+6 and so on.
Also, each Guest can be under ONLY one DAS reservation at any given time(for example, if you have 2 Guests with a disability and three Guests accompanying them, those three Guests can only be linked to one of the DAS reservations, and NOT both).
I like the new enhancements. I will be there in a couple of weeks. We have two little boys on the autism spectrum. We have 4 children all together and a set of grandparents making us a party of 8. How will they divide us? Sorry that I'm confused. Just trying to figure it out. Thanks!
@Anonymous: No problem, thanks for asking! Since you have two children requiring the DAS, you can divide the group in two, however you'd like (based on their likes and dislikes when it comes to riding).
Will you need a new das if you have a physical disability? I know before you didn't.
Just to clarify, what do you mean by physical disability? If you mean using a wheelchair, then you are correct, you do not need one because each attraction will give you a separate paper with the return time if the attraction's queue is not wheelchair-accessible.
my son has MS....he does not have to use a wheelchair yet but he cannot stand for long periods of time.....can he get a DAS?
@Last Anonymous: You should definitely be able to sign up for the Disabilty Access Service during your visit.
Ok so I have two children with autism. Then my husband myself and one other child. I usually get passes for them both and then we can split up to take them on different rides. (One might not want to go on a ride the other does) so this will no longer be possible? Problem is we are not always sure which one of us, my husband or I are going to ride
last year I got a das time for midway mania .When I returned the castmember told me I had to get in the fast pass line that was 45 minutes long.What sence does that make.Is it still like that.I didn't get on the ride.The reason was I cant stand that long.The das was no help at all!!!
@Anonymous comment posted at 11:07 p.m.: I am sure that they will accommodate your specific needs in that case. Remember that Guest Service comes first at Disney, so they will be flexible in a few circumstances. I wouldn't worry! Just be sure to share all your questions to the Cast Members at Guest Relations the first day of your visit!
Hi. I'm the other mom with 2 autistic children. One very low functioning. Non verbal. 4 but more closely to a 2 year old (or less). @anonymous 11:07...we have 8 in our party and I too am going to discuss the same concerns you have at guest services. OTPN administrator, thank you for all of your informative information. Truly appreciate it!
I'm sure the logistics will be worked out, but are we supposed to designate everyone in our party and tie our Magic Bands to our son's MB? Reason I ask is if I run ahead and get a comeback time with my MB, how will the system know it's tied to my son?
We are going to WDW for the first time this year. My 5 year old son is sensory processing disorder, my question is do I need to bring a note from his doctor or Occupational therapists? I am confused on what I need to bring to guest relations.....
We would like to thank all of the wonderful people that are sharing their comments with us. Your are all absolutely great. As a reminder, be sure to ask all the questions you have when going to the parks, as the Cast Members will be more than happy to talk to you and to accommodate your request if it's in their power to do so.
Thanks again to all of you!
For families with two members needing a DAS, I would guess (and it's just that, a guess) that everyone could be on both DAS, but each person could only be assigned one wait time at a time.
So, for a family of five with two DAS, Mom & two kids could wait for one ride while Dad and the other kid waited for another ride. If everyone wants to ride the same ride, you could use one DAS, so long as no one was already waiting on the second DAS.
For the poster that asked how to get a return time without your child's MB, it sounds like all the MBs in the party will be attached to the DAS user's MB. So, anyone in the party could go get the return time, since when your MB is scanned, it will show all in the party.
Just assumptions here, based on how MBs work now.
There have been reports at Disneyland where groups with 2 people that qualify for DAS have only been able to link their party to one DAS at a time. Make sure you clarify this question at guest services. Don't assume you can link to multiple DAS
As a former Cast Member/GR Cast, I can tell you that the process was meant to support the person with the disability and their IMMEDIATE family, who would, theoretically, be the ones who would be providing care for the person with the disability.
Your article stated: "Returning Guests will also no longer need to state the nature of the disability of the Guest."
We have never had to "state the nature of our disability". We have to state our "needs" and what accommodations we think would be helpful.
Also, if the only issue is a mobility one, such as not being able to stand for a long time Disney will not just issue you a DAS. They will suggest you use a wheelchair or an ECV.
Thank you for the clarification, T Brx. We have changed the wording of the post to make it clearer.
Sounds like if you have an invisible disability, you'll have to hope and pray the CMs believe your disabled.
I have sound sensitivity and anxiety, when I tried explaining myself to a CM they yelled at me demanding I explain my needs as I said I had Autism at the time, I now learned what I really had was C-PTSD which can be commonly misdiagnosed as an Autism disorder. I was so shocked I couldn't speak. Thanks to anti-anxiety medication I no longer need a DAS. It was a real wake up call about the venomous attitude some CMs have towards people who appear to be fakers.
I'm sharing this so other people with invisible disabilities understand you really have to PROVE you're disabled under the DAS system. How is putting people who may have anxiety about being denied help as they were so many times before, helping the disabled person? How is making them feel asking for help is only inviting pain and scrutiny, because they don't appear disabled helpful?
You know what would be supportive? Not assuming everyone who looks normal is abled. Understanding that person upset over the inability to provide a doctors note feels complete futility in their ability to communicate their needs. That if someone cannot explain their needs, they must be lying, when they could be overwhelmed and incapable of knowing what to say. However for me, the worst thing was the CM saying my mother couldn't help me, because I looked like someone who knew what to say.
After so many experiences of not saying the right thing, not knowing why asking for help just isn't enough, people stop asking. I don't want someone less capable than me going through this. It's all too common for special ed teachers or teachers in general to be emotionally abusive to those with mental disabilities. These are people who have been ignored and denied help they needed most of their lives because they didn't appear to need it. Some people act aggressive because they think that will get help, others cry because they believe that will get them help. I realized as long as people believe disability has a certain look, there will not be help for people like me. Not without suffering, without feeling acting in ways that create anger in others is how you get help, because if you have a meltdown they'll listen.
Nothing works, knowing to explain your situation instead of your disability is helpful. But it's still dependent on if the person you are asking for help from is compassionate enough to understand people can look normal and be disabled. The digitizing of the system helps with the fear of being bullied for not appearing like someone who needs help. The question remains, what does it take for CMs to understand that those with invisible disabilities shouldn't have to pin all their hopes on if they will be believed.
I have kept my daughters paper DAS from our 2014 trip because I was told they could quickly reissue the DAS by scanning the QR code on the back.
Is it still a good idea to bring the old one or do I need to start over?
Families with multiple DAS works just as I guessed above; all members of the party attached to each DAS, but each person can only be assigned to one return time at a time.
@ Anonymous April 21, 2015 at 11:43 PM -- Bring the old DAS card. We always bring the old GAC or DAS when go back. It seems to help with the CM discussion at GR.
@ Melissa Ward -- If you have more than 6 people, bring everyone with you to GR. The CM at GR will decide on the number of people to allow depending on your family's genuine need. We did get approved for slightly more than 6 for our last trip.
We have brought a Doctors note before, listing our daughter with Angelman Syndrome's heat intolerance, seizures, and anxiety/lack of waiting skills. The Cast Members WILL NOT look at these notes, they say they are not allowed to. I would imagine HIPPA figures into it. We have always gotten a DAS pass and have been treated with the utmost courtesy, but as she is in a chair and usually acting loudly impatient, it's not surprising. I HATE the new system though, bc if you are there alone, you have to battle your way to the front if the line to find the CM who issues your return time, WITH my disabled daughter and giant chair in tow. Then you have to explain why you're leaving her favorite ride without getting on it, and then eventually return to wait in the fast pass line. Waiting...while my daughter acts out and ruins the vacation of the other visitors around us. Yeesh.

Hi Mike,
I do like your new cross count method actually more! I do not start the mathematics now, so I do not know after 1 day if the result (+3) is accidently the same in both measurement or it will be different. We will see. If it is the same then it would not matter which way to use, if it is not the same (I would think this second option will happen) then I like the second. There is something though to keep in mind in the second measurement: a Major currency can only move between +3 and -3 and a comm currency can move between +5 and -5. So the extreme level is different and commodities are more likely to be on the very to or very bottom and majors have more chance to stick in the middle.

Fossil Biodiversity Distribution as a Habitat Mapping Tool Erin Arnold Antarctic CRC/IASOS
Introduction Quantifying and qualifying variability in the pelagic ocean, though space and time Exploring biodiversity of Recent fossil planktonic foraminifera: both global distribution and temporal patterns Advantages of foraminifera –Widely distributed, global taxonomy, well preserved in the sedimentary records
Diversity Indices describe how individuals in a sample are distributed among the species 3 diversity measurements –Species richness (S, simple number of species) –2 diversity indices (Shannon Index, Evenness)
Diversity Advantages of method: –Species independent –Describe and compare between both ancient and modern systems –Describe and compare between different taxonomic groups
Spatial Patterns Diversity of fossil forams from coretop records calculated for points distributed over world's oceans Exploring the response of community structure (dominance and evenness) to habitat change

Gerard Gallant has been confirmed as the first head coach of NHL expansion team the Vegas Golden Knights.
Gallant was a coach of the year finalist in 2015-16 after securing a division title for the Florida Panthers with the best regular-season record in franchise history as they finished with 103 points.
But he was fired by the Panthers in November and now takes over a team that will take shape in June with the expansion draft and the NHL Draft, in which the Golden Knights have a 10 percent chance in the lottery of winning the first overall pick and are guaranteed a first-round selection no lower than sixth overall.
"There is a great deal of excitement in the hockey community regarding what is happening with the Golden Knights," Gallant said.
"Being named the first head coach in Vegas Golden Knights history is such a tremendous opportunity and one I am extremely grateful for."

The Shareholder Value Myth
by Lynn A. Stout
Publisher: Berrett-Koehler Publishers
Release Date: May 2012
View table of contents
Start reading
Book Description
Proves that shareholder primacy has no basis in law or economics and does not deliver better bottom-line results Suggests better ways to think about shareholders and their relationship to corporations Written by one of America's most distinguished legal scholars Executives, investors, and the business press routinely chant the mantra that corporations are required to "maximize shareholder value." The results have been disastrous. "Shareholder primacy" thinking causes corporate managers to focus myopically on short-term earnings reports at the expense of long-term performance; discourages investment and innovation; harms employees, customers, and communities; and causes companies to indulge in reckless, sociopathic, and socially irresponsible behaviors. It's the kind of thinking that led directly to the recent worldwide economic collapse. Jack Welch, once a shareholder primacy true believer, has famously called it "the dumbest idea in the world." Lynn Stout proves that there is in fact no legal obligation for corporations to maximize shareholder value—scholars, lawyers, and corporate officers just assumed there was. Nor, she demonstrates, is maximizing shareholder value the optimal economic model—that's just another unproven assumption, one that is conceptually muddled and, Stout shows, unsupported by the actual evidence on what drives good corporate performance. As if this wasn't enough, Stout also shows how shareholder primacy actually hurts individual investors by obscuring their real, diverse, human interests in the name of serving a hypothetical, homogeneous, abstract, and conscienceless shareholder. Stout looks at new theories that better serve the needs not only of actual human beings who invest but of corporations and society as well. "Calm, careful, plainspoken, and relentless argumentation that peels away the distracting layers of abstract mumbo jumbo to expose the lunacy of the underlying theory for all to see. Lynn Stout does the world a great favor in exposing shareholder value theory for what it is: flawed and damaging." —Roger Martin, Dean, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto, and author of Fixing the Game

Abstract In order to study the effects of surface defects, which are one of the causes of initial inhomogeneity of sheet thickness, on the forming-limit diagram (FLD), uniaxial tensile, in-plane stretching and hydraulic bulging tests were performed using soft and hard pure aluminum sheets, by introducing an artificial machined notch. The results of these experiments showed that the existence of a critical depth of surface defects α e was found, up to which fractures do not develop and the forming-limit does not decrease. Specifically, the forming-limit strain did not decrease for defect depths of up to 2 and 0.5% of the thickness for soft and hard sheets, respectively. Numerical calculations were performed also using the Marciniak–Kuczynski (M–K) model to evaluate the effects of defect depth theoretically and it was clarified that the rate of decrease of limit strain with respect to the increase of defect depth can be expressed qualitatively. However, quantitatively, only the calculated results for the effects of the defect depth on the limit strain of the soft sheets for the uniaxial tension case and those from the equi-biaxial tension case agreed with the results obtained by experiment. Moreover, a method for the estimation of α e was developed using the M–K model together with forming-limit strain data obtained by experiment. From these results, it is concluded that it is possible to decrease the rejection rate and reduce the material cost by applying less strict standards when inspecting the surface conditions of sheets in production shops, if the presence of defects is not a serious problem in terms of external appearance.

In addition to our buy back guarantee, our 'segregated' gold facility and delivery on demand service gives you the freedom to sell your gold to anyone you chose.
We offer a guaranteed minimum of 98% of the spot price for gold and silver and for full market gold bars (12.5 kg / 400 oz), this amount can be as high as 99.7%. The prices on the website are up to date during business hours and are updated continuously to reflect the fluctuations in the spot gold price throughout the trading day.
If your gold bullion is stored in our vault we can confirm the sell price straight away and generally transfer the funds into your GoldMadeSimple account by the next working day.
In order to sell your bullion back to GoldMadeSimple:-
Log in to your account
Select 'My Gold' from the menu
Click 'Sell Gold' on the right of the item of bullion you wish to sell
You will be guided through the process by instructions on screen and emails.
If your Gold is held in our storage facilities, no more action is required by you - if your gold has been delivered to you, you will need to return it to us for testing and condition checks, before the buy back rate can be confirmed.
We can confirm a buy back price for bullion in our storage facilities and once accepted by you, we can fix the buy back rate and transfer the funds into your Gold Made Simple accouint immediately. Transfers from your GoldMadeSimple account to your bank account are generally completed within 2 working days.
We highly recommend that you send your gold by Royal Mail next day special delivery to ensure a quick and secure delivery. Please note that Royal Mail will insure you for goods worth up to £2,500, for a small fee. As soon as we receive and check the gold we will notify you via email to confirm a price and then transfer the funds into your account by the next working day.
If you have had your gold bullion delivered you will need to send your gold back to us. Once we receive the gold, we will examine the gold bullion and confirm a price based on the condition of the gold bullion and the current spot price. The 98% buy back rate will be reduced if the bars or coins are damaged or need remanufacturing.
This is why most clients prefer to keep their bullion in our storage facility instead of requesting delivery.
By having gold stored by us instead of delivered to you, you benefit by:-

What It Was to Be Young and a Yankee.
By Bill Madden.
Warner, $24.95.
Focusing on 18 former Yankees, Bill Madden, a veteran sportswriter for The Daily News, has pieced together a loving appreciation of what it means to wear pinstripes. Some of the better profiles are those of lesser lights, like the backup catcher Charlie Silvera and the pitchers Marius Russo and Tommy Byrne. And then, of course, there's Joe Pepitone, whose stormy relationship with the team could have been predicted simply by checking his background, which included a high school shooting accident that resulted in a bullet in his gut and the administering of the last rites. Pepitone would later go down in baseball history as the player who introduced the hairdryer into the locker room (and, yes, he once tried to have a telephone installed in his locker). Then there was the unfulfilled promise of Ron Blomberg, the first designated hitter in baseball history, who had such a prodigious appetite that he once stopped for a 6
o'clock snack -- two hamburgers, two steak sandwiches, a hot dog, two orders of potato salad and a pitcher of iced tea- before a 7:30 dinner date, at which he devoured a full-course steak dinner. Unfortunately, the later entries, on Reggie Jackson, Paul O'Neill and even Don Mattingly, fall a little flat, no doubt because we already know so much about them that there is little new or noteworthy to divulge.

Chris and Snowbasin!
Great video and good competition. It looks like Powder Mecca has won this. Keep producing and shooting.
Joey, thanks for the new friendship. Was impressed with your video from the minute I saw it and said, that one is the winner. Glad I could help.
Now to the business of skiing. Us Alba's can't wait!
The votes are in and our video was runner up to Joey Wallis's video. Not bad out of a pack of 64 videos. Thanks to everyone for their support in the very long contest with lots of rounds of voting. We only made it this far because of your support. We hope to see you at the Warren Miller screenings and on the mountain. Thanks again!

I just joined EpicSki and I want to thank everyone who took the time to vote and ask others to vote for the video Jim and I made for the Warren Miller competition. It was great skiing some fun terrain with Jim and this Saturday we get to see how the film looks on the big screen at the World Premiere in SLC.
Thanks Again!

Boxing officials defend decision on no headgear
GLASGOW, Scotland — Boxing officials defended a decision to stop using headgear for male competitors at the Commonwealth Games, saying there had been no concussions at the competition up to Saturday's medal rounds.
The International Boxing Association (AIBA) decided to stop using headgear in events such as the Commonwealth Games last year, citing medical statistics showing the protective padding can cause jarring to boxers' heads and contribute to brain damage.

All Product Details
Location-Aware Applications is a comprehensive guide to the technology and business of creating compelling location-based services and applications. The book walks you through the LBS landscape, from mapping technologies to available platforms; from toolkits to business questions like monetization and privacy. About the Book
Mobile customers want entertainment, business apps, and on-the-go services that recognize and respond to location. This book will guide you through the technology and business of mobile applications so you can create competitive and innovative apps based on location-based services. It is an engaging look at the LBS landscape, from choosing the right mobile platform, to making money with your application, to dealing with privacy issues. It provides insight into a wealth of ideas for LBS development so you can build the next killer app.
Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book. What's Inside
This book is written for developers and business pros - no prior knowledge of location-based services is assumed.
As mobile device usage continues to expand at a rapid pace, applications that effectively utilize a user's location become increasingly valuable to businesses operating in the mobile world.
Location-Aware Applications aims to provide readers with a thorough background to the new era of location-aware applications that are set to change the mobile landscape and shape the very core of mobile services for this decade. It is designed to specifically address the growing segment of developer-entrepreneurs who wish to gain insights into specific aspects of establishing a viable LBS business.
Web 2.0 applications provide a rich user experience, but the parts you can't see are just as important-and impressive. They use powerful techniques to process information intelligently and offer features based on patterns and relationships in data. Algorithms of the Intelligent Web shows readers how to use the same techniques employed by household names like Google Ad Sense, Netflix, and Amazon to transform raw data into actionable information.
Algorithms of the Intelligent Web is an example-driven blueprint for creating applications that collect, analyze, and act on the massive quantities of data users leave in their wake as they use the web. Readers learn to build Netflix-style recommendation engines, and how to apply the same techniques to social-networking sites. See how click-trace analysis can result in smarter ad rotations. All the examples are designed both to be reused and to illustrate a general technique- an algorithm-that applies to a broad range of scenarios.
As they work through the book's many examples, readers learn about recommendation systems, search and ranking, automatic grouping of similar objects, classification of objects, forecasting models, and autonomous agents. They also become familiar with a large number of open-source libraries and SDKs, and freely available APIs from the hottest sites on the internet, such as Facebook, Google, eBay, and Yahoo.

The Eskimos have landed in Toronto and will face the Argos on Saturday afternoon at BMO Field.
The Eskimos offensively will be challenged by an Argos defense that is coached by defensive coordinator Rich Stubler. The Eskimos offensively are second in the CFL in average yards per game (409.3) and average passing yards per game (354.3). Conversely the Argos defensively ranks fourth in average yards allowed per game (369.0) and average passing yards allowed per game (295.1).
Quarterback Mike Reilly says Stubler's defense will give you opportunities to make plays downfield but you need to capitalize.
The Eskimos will have three changes on defense as veteran defensive end Jason Vega and veteran defensive back Brandyn Thompson will make their Eskimo debuts. Vega will start at defensive end for Reuben Frank who was injured late in practice on Thursday. Frank was supposed to start in place of Marcus Howard who is on the six-game injured list with a suspected knee injury. Frank is on the one-game injured list. Defensive tackle Josh Watson will make his Eskimos debut. Defensive back Solomon Means moves from the active roster to the practice roster.
Kick-off from BMO Field on Saturday is 2pm. 630 CHED will have the pre-game show at 12:30pm.

Revision with unchanged content. In the last three decades the numbers of women working in the workforce have increased considerably. Of course successes do not come without challenges. This study examines one of those challenges: the implemented strategies and the influential situational factors that impact how executive women are heard by their male colleagues in the workplace. Self-efficacy, women's adult development theory, and mentoring theory informed the design of this explorative descriptive study. The research design used study participants' reactions and perceptions to a video of a 30-second vignette depicting a board meeting in which a woman executive interacts with men colleagues who ignore her suggestions for improving a company's status. In addition, respondents completed semi-structured interviews and a pencil-and-paper assessment of self-efficacy. Qualitative responses to the vignette and interview revealed nine strategies among the women. Fifteen of the study participants found situational factors to be influential. The general self-efficacy scale showed that the study cohort, as a group, achieved an overall higher mean score than that of the average score on the general self-efficacy scale. The use of multiple strategies, strong perceived self-efficacy, and a mentor appear to be influential in helping executive women feel they are heard by their male colleagues in the workplace.

Mumbai, December 10 (CINEWS): Bollywood performer Sanjay Dutt will exit from the Yerwada Central Jail as 'a liberated individual' on March 7, authority sources said on Tuesday. The performing artist was sentenced for his role in the March 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.
He was in the news recently, after a report guaranteed that the on-screen character petitioned for acquittal. Nonetheless, he made it clear on September 26, that the reports were untrue and that he didn't request pardon from the Maharashtra Governor nor did he ask for any other person to do as such for his sake. In a joint explanation issued, advocates Hitesh Jain and Subhash Jadhav said that the news in regards to the representative turning down the performer's request was "absolutely in light of the application made by Justice Markandey Katju looking for acquittal for Dutt and different convicts".
56-year-old Dutt was indicted in 2007 by a unique TADA court under the Arms Act for ownership of arms and sentenced to five years thorough detainment. Dutt had burned through a year and a half in prison in 1996 after his capture. In May 2013, the on-screen character surrendered after the Supreme Court maintained his conviction and sentence. The on-screen character has from that point forward been stopped in the Yerwada Central jail at Pune. After he was sent to Yerwada in May 2013, Dutt had been out on parole twice and an equivalent number of times on leave of absence.
In October 2013, he was out on leave for 14 days, which was reached out by a fortnight. In January 2014, a 30-day parole was stretched out by an additional 30 days. In December 2014, he has conceded a 14-day leave. He was as of late out on the 30-day leave of absence for her little girl's nose surgery. Sanjay has spent almost 30 months in jail as of now and is because of exit as a liberated person in February 2016

New al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri voiced support in an Internet video for popular revolts sweeping the West Asia, saying Arabs were no longer afraid of the United States, 10 years after the country was targeted by the militant network.
"Ten years have passed since the blessed attacks on New York and Washington and Pennsylvania: that mighty event which shook and continues to shake the pillars of the global crusade," Zawahri said in the video posted on Islamist websites to mark the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks.
Zawahri, an Egyptian who took up the reins of al Qaeda after the killing of Osama bin Laden in June, hailed popular uprisings that have toppled leaders in Egypt, Tunisia and Libya this year, and urged other Muslims to overthrow their own rulers.
In the hour-long recording, titled "The Dawn of Imminent Victory", also included a message from bin Laden, which Zawahri said was being aired for the first time. The exact date of the clip was not clear.
In it, bin Laden warned Americans of the "tyranny" of capitalism and big corporations, which he said were a main cause of war and had brought the United States to the brink of bankruptcy. He did not mention the "Arab Spring".

A new trend in plastic surgery is the upper arm lift, as it takes away excess skin from aging or weight loss.
Though it has been a procedure for sometime, it did not see a rise until the years between 2000 and 2012.
Popular VideoPeople were so furious about this Pepsi ad that Pepsi pulled it after just one day. Watch it here and decide if it's offensive:
According to reports from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, more than 15,000 upper arm lifts were performed during that time in the United States. This is up from just 300 in the year 2000.
It is not known why more people are getting arm lifts, but Dr. David Reath, a plastic surgeon in Knoxville, Tenn., said it may be due to people losing a lot of weight.
Popular VideoPeople were so furious about this Pepsi ad that Pepsi pulled it after just one day. Watch it here and decide if it's offensive:
"When people are successful with weight loss - either through surgery, or with diet and exercise - they can end up with excess skin on their arms," he said.
Reath said the first procedure people want once they lose a lot of weight is a tummy tuck, but after that, they want an arm lift.
He also believes famous people, including Michelle Obama, had an influence on the increase in the procedure.
Normally, an arm lift costs between $6,000 and $8,000. A major downside to the procedure is the scar it creates on the upper arm.
Other surgeries, like butt lifts and buttock implants, saw a drop between 2011 and 2012.
"I think the past few years, there was a lot of excitement and interest in those procedures, and now it's settling down," Reath said.
Men in all age groups had an increase in chest reduction surgeries. The most common surgical procedure performed in 2012 was breast augmentation, but that has dropped 7 percent since 2011. In 2012, there were around 286,000 breast augmentations performed.
Liposuction also saw a drop last year.

It would be as well for Aussie rugby supporters not to expect much from today's final Tri-Nations match of 2005, the meeting of New Zealand and Australia in Auckland. The All Blacks, having squeezed out South Africa last week, will reclaim the trophy if they beat the Wallabies at Eden Park.
Great furrows have lined Australian brows this week. The Wallabies have lost their last four Test matches, a dire run unknown for nearly a quarter of a century. They have lost their first three choices at fly-half, Stephen Larkham, Elton Flatley and Matt Giteau, to injury and will play their former rugby league full-back Matt Rogers in the No 10 jersey today. Rogers has played there before, but only as a schoolboy.
The Wallabies are in the midst of an injury crisis that has exposed the empty cupboards of Australian rugby. Their front row might be wily but it is weak, the second row is without its best operator, Daniel Vickerman, and the back-row combination has been changed yet again, a clear sign of selectorial uncertainty.
Three flankers - Rocky Elsom, Phil Waugh and George Smith - play in the absence through injury of the regular No 8 David Lyons. Chris Latham, Stirling Mortlock, Wendell Sailor and Jeremy Paul are also missing.
The All Blacks have had injury concerns of their own this week, such was the intensity of the Dunedin encounter with the Springboks. The scrum-half Piri Weepu, who made significant progress as a Test player that evening, has shaken off a thigh strain to take his place, but doubt still remains over Leon MacDonald at fly-half.
The No 10 has a hip injury and a decision will not be made on his fitness until shortly before kick-off. But the difference in the back-up quality is marked. Luke McAlister, who helped to overwhelm the British and Irish Lions in the final Test, would step in if MacDonald did not make it.
Choosing the time and location to make rugby history is generally not the preserve of players. Thus, George Gregan will equal the world record of the England prop Jason Leonard with his 114th cap for the Wallabies, but bittersweet might be the word for such an experience, because Gregan's side is staring down the gun barrel.
Gregan's outstanding achievement has come against a cacophony of cries for his sacking by the Australian media, that traditionally mild-mannered, reticent body of men for whom extenuating circumstances are never allowed to delay the desires of a hanging party.
It is undeniable that Gregan is not the force he once was. But no scrum-half excels behind a beaten pack. The Australian front row seems to have lost its knack of milking penalties from stronger opponents, and their No 9 has been duly exposed.
New Zealand's status as the No 1 side in world rugby was confirmed by their victory over South Africa last weekend. The cynics would say that puts them in familiar surroundings, as they have consistently peaked between World Cups without being able to win one since 1987. But there is a growing substance to Graham Henry's squad, not least in their tight-forward play, that foretells of major difficulties for the other major nations in the build-up to the next World Cup in France in 2007.
Not that the All Blacks are duped by forecasts of a sporting slaughter beneath the Eden Park floodlights.
"Australia will play out of their skins in this match, we expect nothing less from them," Henry said. "They are a very proud sporting nation and will give everything they have, whatever the circumstances. That is their way."
It might not be the rout some predict. But it is only three weeks since the All Blacks beat Australia 30-13 in Sydney and for this battered, patched-up Wallaby side to stop the All Blacks in their own back yard will require something close to supernatural force.
The beleaguered Wallaby coach Eddie Jones says his team has little to lose. Which is true if you discount the prospect of a first Tri-Nations whitewash, a fifth successive Test loss and another defeat at the hands of their mortal enemy.
A celebratory party for Gregan? It looks doubtful.

Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS)
Definition - What does Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS) mean?
A distributed database management system (DDBMS) is a set of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a network. They provide a mechanism that makes the distribution of data transparent to users.
Techopedia explains Distributed Database Management System (DDBMS)
DDBMS is a centralized application that manages a distributed database. This database system synchronizes data periodically and ensures that any change in data made by users is universally updated in the database.
DDBMS is widely used in data warehousing, where huge volumes of data are processed and accessed by numerous users or database clients at the same time. This database system is used to manage data in networks, maintain confidentiality and handle data integrity. A distributed database management system is designed for heterogeneous database platforms that focus on heterogeneous database management systems.

National Book Critics Circle, Fiction, 2010
Man Booker Prize, Fiction, 2009
Tudor England. Henry VIII is on the throne, but has no heir. Cardinal Wolsey is charged with securing his divorce. Into this atmosphere of distrust comes Thomas Cromwell - a man as ruthlessly ambitious in his wider politics as he is for himself. His reforming agenda is carried out in the grip of a self-interested parliament and a king who fluctuates between romantic passions and murderous rages.
©2009 Hilary Mantell; (P)2009 WF Howes Ltd
There are no reviews for this title yet.
"A good book"
A good book with a solid reading. The reader had his work cut out with this work and did well to handle the often descriptive prose.
"Extraordinary book, beautifully read"
Mantel's feat in recreating the court of Henry VIII and putting the reader right into the middle of it, narrated through one of its central characters, Thomas Cromwell, is truly outstanding. Fantastically researched, beautifully written and very well read by Simon Slater. Highly recommended.
"A long winded disappointment"
All the positive reviews inspired me to try a book a little different to what I would normally listen to, however I was very disappointed with this book.
Its overly long with not much going on until the end of the second download file. The length is not helped by too many characters, with too little defining events/moments.
The narration is not brilliant due to the characters all sounding remarkably similar making following the character story arks hard going and confusing.
I struggled to find motivation to get to the end.
"Thomas Moore"
I found this book to be quite slow for the first half, if it hadn't won the Booker I wouldn't have persisted with it. I found it hard to get to know the characters of Mantel's style which is strictly dialogue over action.
However by the second half of the novel I was used to it and was impressed by the ending with Thomas Moore, which is why I believe it won the Booker prize. Mantel has convincingly turned the famous view of Moore from the the highly regarded "a man for all seasons" on it's head.
I enjoyed the narration style from Simon Slater who did a good job of bringing the story to life. I was disappointed to find he did not narrate the sequel.
At first I found it hard to follow the story as I felt the author jumped around and it took me a while to get into the rhythm of the tale. But, quite soon, I was gripped and loved every minute of it. The detail and research that Mantel has displayed in this well-known piece of history was a delight and left me yearning for more. Thankfully, I found "Bring up the Bodies"!
"Wolf Hall"
This is a book that's not for me. I'm sure it's brilliant and it was recommended but it is a little "heavy" for me. I love literature but perhaps this book is better served to the male audience.
"Difficult to distinguish characters from narration"
Wolf Hall is a very long book, you get a lot of words for your credit. However, it is only semi interesting and, as noted by other reviewers, very difficult to distinguish the males characters from one another. Other reviewers have said that with time they were able to distinguish the voices but I finished the book and was still left guessing. It wasn't particularly interesting and I found my mind wandering off in parts and the book was just background noise. It portrayed a very interesting time in history, The Tudors period is my absolute favourite. The angle of this book was also very interesting and you saw the characters in a new light. I can only imagine the written book was better having achieved critical acclaim because the audiobook wasn't able to hold my interest despite me ting really hard to like it.
"A 'clever' book, badly read."
I'm wondering whether I'm listening to the same book as some of the other reviewers here! This is a tricky enough book to read and without good narration is almost impossible to follow. I concur with a reviewer who states that sometimes you don't realise that the dialogue has changed from one set of characters to another. At times I've had to listen to sections several times to get it clear in my mind what is happening. The narration is reminiscent of a bad amateur dramatic production at times and there is far too little difference between the tones of the characters. Have given up after the first part and am annoyed to have wasted a credit on this.
"wonderful and atmospheric"
This is a brilliant book, wonderfully read. So atmospheric that you feel you have come to know Cromwell. It is a feast of historical fact and conjecture that made me challenge my conceptions of Cromwell, Wolsey, and even Katherine of Aragon. I could not wait to download "bring up the bodies", an equally good read.Prize winning authors are not usually my thing. In this case, the comittee got it dead right. A prize winning book if ever I read one. Absorbing and human.
"Enjoyable but some criticisms of narration"
I couldn't get on with the actual book Wolf Hall. This reading brought it to life and I found it very enjoyable as a story. The reading was good but there are some aspects in which it could have been better. This is not a huge problem, more a counsel of perfection. It must have been a challenging performance. There were several examples of wrong emphasis, changing the whole meaning of a sentence or even a section. And there were several times when the narrator failed to change voices at the right time, so that I thought the characters were still speaking but in fact we should have gone back to the main narrative. Because of the use of the present tense in the narration and the references to Cromwell as "he" this led to momentary confusion before I worked out who in fact was speaking and about whom. I didn't find the character voices difficult to distinguish, unlike some other reviewers.

Dear Song, [NB: the declarations you've included in your mail contain a few mistakes; I've tried to mend these in the PVS theory attached to this mail. The following is relative to that theory which might differ from yours.] > <<(env1:VarEnv,env2:VarEnv): bool= FORALL (x:Vars): env1(x)=env2(x) > > c(f,g): trans = > LAMBDA (s: Env): choose({y: VarEnv|y<<f(s) or y<<g(s)}) > > how can I to proof the nonemptyness of {y: VarEnv|y<<f(s) or y<<g(s)}? You need to find a "y" such that "y << f(s)" or "y << g(s)". Since "<<" essentially denotes equality on environments, you can pick, e.g., "f(s)" for "y". A step-by-step proof of the TCC would be (skosimp*) (expand "nonempty?") (expand "empty?") (expand "member") (inst -1 "f!1(s!1)") (flatten) (expand "<<") a more automatic version would use (grind :if-match best). > |------- > {1} choose({y: VarEnv | y << f!1(Init_env) OR y << g!1(Init_env)}) = > choose({y: VarEnv | y << g!1(Init_env) OR y << f!1(Init_env)} > > then I do not know how to proof this issue Since "OR" is commutative, the two sets are equal. To tell PVS that you know this, use the command "case-replace". In a subsequent step you need to show that the sets are indeed equal; you need the command "apply-extensionality" to do this. A complete step-by-step proof is as follows: (skosimp*) (expand "c") (case-replace "{y: Env | y << f!1(init_env) OR y << g!1(init_env)} = {y: Env | y << g!1(init_env) OR y << f!1(init_env)}") (apply-extensionality :hide? t) (iff) (ground) Regards, - Holger

Andrei Cherny Teases Revolution in Investing with New Financial Company Aspiration "1984" Homage
Adam Rifkin stashed this in Investing
Stashed in: Awesome, Philanthropy!, Best of BuzzFeed, Philanthropy
Matthew Zeitlin writes:
Andrei Cherny was the youngest White House speechwriter of all time, the founder of the political journal Democracy, a Naval Reserve intelligence officer, the author of two books, a candidate for political office in Arizona, a prosecutor, and most recently the chairman of the Arizona Democratic Party. Now he's doing something new: Aspiration.
While the 38 year old Cherny is mum on the details on what exactly Aspiration is, he told BuzzFeed that the project is "at the intersection of finance and technology, bringing the best of both those worlds together."
"What Apple did in "1984" was democratize the world of personal computers," Cherny said in explaining why Aspiration's first public message was an homage to Apple's classic Super Bowl ad.
Cherny said Aspiration will launch in the spring and is "going to be a new a approach to investing, one that combines both profit and philanthropy and is a lot more people centered than the Wall Street approach." The text in Aspiration's video is a mashup of Gordon Gekko's famous monologue from Wall Street and a 2005 memo written by Citi analysts on "Plutonomy."
Aspiration also has a website where it is described as a "revolution in the world of investing," but only includes a sign-up to learn more.
Joyce and I had an opportunity to meet Andrei in December.
We're very excited about Aspiration and its people-centered approach to investing.
The model combines profit and philanthropy, and it will change the world for the better.

Perhaps the most important document you will ever make, a Will does not have to be overly complicated or confusing. However, it is important that you take expert advice to avoid unexpected pitfalls and ensure you leave your affairs as organised as possible on your death.
Although a Will is essential for anyone who wants to ensure their affairs are dealt with as they wish when they are no longer here, a properly drawn Will is particularly important in any of the following circumstances:
- Re-marriage, separation or divorce
- Unmarried partners
- Children from different relationships
- Minor children
- Estranged family members
- Business interests or foreign property

If you have already made a Will, that's a great first step, but you then need to keep it under review and up to date. Changes in the law and in your personal circumstances may mean that your Will is no longer appropriate.
So if you are interested in making a Will or would simply like your existing arrangements to be reviewed, please get in touch. We are happy to give initial advice over telephone (0113 227 0298) or by email, free of charge.
