This group of friendly panhandlers on Cambridge Street in Boston look almost like they're posing. They weren't though. In fact the guy on the right spotted my little Ricoh GR camera and cheerfully yelled something I didn't understand as I strode by.
I've tried a lot of camera brands for street photography but none have served me better than Ricoh. It's very small, it's got a great lens and best of all, it allows something called "snap shooting" which is having the camera always prefocused so all one has to do is click the shutter. In short, it's discrete and deadly fast.

|Webinar: Demystifying Deaccessioning
Share |
Demystifying Deaccessioning
Live Webinar
This webinar will feature a discussion on the various aspects of deaccessioning and the responsibilities of a curator throughout the process
The deaccessioning of artworks from a museum's collection is a process that is not uncommon, but the nuances of it aren't always discussed openly. Join us as we discuss the various steps in planning and researching, the roles of individuals engaged, overall decision making, and various possible outcomes. We will specifically address a curator's responsibilities and voice in the process, available tools and resources, and the impact of deaccessioning on other museum departments.
Demystifying Deaccessioning is part of the AAMC Foundation's webinar series, which offers live online discussions on essential skills, timely issues, and latest discoveries that define the profession of an art curator, and enhance understanding and development in the field. This coming year of webinar topics have been developed around the central theme of the "outward-facing-curator," dissecting ways in which curators collaborate and engage with audiences internally & externally.

Nutrition is 70%-80% of your overall results. I am a huge believer in creating a healthy active lifestyle that is sustainable. And yes you can eat CARBS! You will not be going on any diets. Diets generally restrict calories or certain food groups. Diets are temporary and not sustainable. Which is why most people backslide and find they put the weight back on and fall back into old unhealthy habits. The eating habits I promote are eating proteins, fats and carbs that work for you and not against you. Yes you can have a deviation meal everyonce in awhile! It's OK to enjoy that burger or those pieces of pizza every now and then. By adopting a healthy eating lifestyle you'll experience more energy, your clothes will fit better, and your overall feeling of wellbeing will improve!
I really like pizza too!! and wings and ice cream and tacos! I love food in general! =D That's the best part! You don't have to stop eating your favorite foods. You will learn how to fit all those delicious foods you enjoy into a healthy eating lifestyle. While still being able to lose weight, gain lean mass, lose fat, increase sports performance...whatever your goals may be!

How to Double Employment‐Based Green Cards
My colleague David Bier has a wonderful new blog post where he argues that the government has systematically under‐issued employment‐based (EB) green cards since 1992. In essence, his argument is that Congress intended for the small number of EB green cards (140,000 annually) to only be issued to the workers themselves. In practice, however, the government has issued the majority of them to the family members of the workers. Bier argues that the practice of issuing EB green cards to family members has no statutory basis and that it runs contrary to Congress' intent which was to exempt the spouses and minor children from the cap altogether. This change would more than double the number of EB green cards available for workers. Importantly, this error in interpretation can be corrected immediately by this or the next administration. Do read the entire post for more details.
Altering the way that EB green cards are counted would more than double the number of them issued to workers every year while actually making it easier for the families of skilled workers to follow their breadwinners.
From 1992 to 2014, only 46 percent of all EB green cards were issued to workers while the rest were used by their family members. During that time, approximately 1.7 million additional EB green cards for skilled workers could have been issued if the administrations had followed Bier's correct interpretation and appropriately counted against the cap. There is also the possibility that the government could "recapture" the EB green cards issued to family members in the past and properly issue them to skilled workers today.
This is a reform that the administration could act on immediately and Bier has provided the support.

Malls and Large Retail Stores

There is only one way to have a fully maintainable and supportable system: document what has been designed and implement what has been documented.
Anything other than should be considered as having its long-term supportability and maintainability compromised.
Now, it is sometimes inevitable and necessary that systems be put in place that have not been properly documented before build time. That's okay, but what is required in these circumstances is acknowledgement and agreement up front that ideal practice is not being followed and compromised system is the result.
I worked on a high-profile (and high-stress) project where comments from the managers were often like: 'don't worry, junior admin that's working way beyond experience and expectations will have documented all the components'. That upsets me. Not only are the (supposedly) experienced managers absolving their own responsibility they are heaping pressure where it least deserves to be.
By agreeing up front that the expectation is for a system that cannot (and will not) be fully documented we are making an effort to reduce the stress on the implementer who already has the unpleasant task of trying to create complex applications on the fly (and inevitably feeling that they're making the best of a bad job) by saying that there's a shared responsibility when it comes to the later questioning of why nothing matches up.

Socrates While reading Platos Meno, Euthyphro, apology, and Crito, it became apparent that Socrates held very strong beliefs about the relationship between law and morality. Socrates makes it clear about the reasons laws should be or not be followed. He also clarifies his stand on why laws should be followed and why disobedience to the law is rarely justified. Socrates views humanity in the context that anybody is capable of wrongdoing. He continues with the elaboration that even returning an injury upon oneself is wrong. Socrates then makes a connection between the city and morality.
If one is acting without the citys allowance, one is doing wrong toward the city and its laws. Behaving wrongly towards the people is also doing wrong against the city. The wrongdoing would become a way of destroying the cities laws, and hurting citizens in the process. Socrates compares this relationship to that of how a child should not cause harm to his parents. By doing so you disrespect the laws within the city.

For You For Only $13.90/page!

Causing harm to your father would lead to conviction; further illustrating the fact that wrong against the law is a wrong against everybody who abides by that law. Socrates follows this by examining what each citizen is taught. From birth you are told to obey laws. You were brought to life from your mother and father and thus you should respect and obey the rules that they do. But the cities laws were there before you mother and father, and are therefor equally if not more important than the laws of your mother and father.
The citys law should be respected at least as equally as ones parents should. Socrates then goes on to explain that you do not have the same rights as your parents. Because they have taught what is right and wrong, it is immoral to treat your parents as they treat you. Your parents must have a higher position than you because they taught you. This thought is then extended to the city with the quote One must obey the commands of ones city and country, or persuade it as to the nature of justice.
It is impious to bring violence to bear against your mother or father, it is much more so to use it against you country. (Crito, 46) One should obey your parents, but more important is the city. Because the city was that which has taught your ancestors and your parents, it must be superior to them. The cities laws being superior to your mother or father, should be respected and followed. Socrates explains his thoughts of the city and its rules as the nature of life.
We were welcomed into the world by the city so it is immoral to fight against it. The laws should be accepted and followed. But one should not obey a law just because it is a law. What is moral has been taught to us by our parents, and to them from the city. It is their opinion that will tell us if our actions are moral or not.
However, one aspect of the city and its laws is that you are not forced to do as it dictates. As Socrates explains, you have two options, to obey the law or not. But in regards to Socrates opinion, it is not anothers opinion to decide what is right and wrong for us. But just as children argue with their parents, one doesnt have to do everything that he is told to. It is an immoral life to follow others opinions about morality. From Euthyphro Socrates opinion on how disobedience can be justified is shown. When Euthyhro accuses his father of murder, he states I say that the pious to do what I am doing now, to prosecute the wrongdoer, be it about murder or temple robbery or anything else, whether the wrongdoer is your father or your mother or anyone else; not to prosecute is impious.
(Euthyphro, 22) In this case, Socrates is defending himself. He doesnt believe in all the Gods ideas and is justifying his opinion. He has similar thoughts about morality when he states I find it hard to accept things like that being said about the gods, and it is likely to be the reason why I shall be told I do wrong. (Euthyphro, 22) After being told by the Oracle the he was the wisest, he set out to prove the oracle wrong. He talked to everybody only to find that those who were supposed to be the wisest knew the least.
This examination leads to the belief that parents just teach their children without any knowledge about what they are teaching. The city finds Socrates guilty of the charges of corrupting the young and not believing in the gods whom the city believes. This lends to the thought that the only reason one should believe in Gods is because the city does. But Socrates is on a continual search for knowledge. It is apparent that he does not believe the same way that the city does. From his point of view, both the disobedience of the law and the civil disobedience behind it was justifiable.

Many variants of the Iron Man armor have appeared over the years as one-shots, or in the background.
Thor #375
Tony Stark offered this discarded prototype of the Silver Armor to Thor for target practice. Its blue-grey color may indicate that it was a stealth suit, or it may simply have been unpainted. (Thor destroyed it with one throw of his hammer.)
Iron Man #261
At least sixteen suits of armor are visible in this shot of Stark's armor archive. Many are unclear, but several are otherwise-unknown variants. Two of them appear to have dual unibeams on the chest. One appears to have a single eye. One (further toward the back) has an unusually elongated neck.
The armor stepping forward is the Neo-Classic Armor, under remote control.
Iron Man #266
This variant of the Classic Armor was worn by Jim Rhodes during Armor Wars II, when he came to Stark's rescue. (Rhodes is at left, Stark is at right in the Neo-Classic Armor.) Stark explicitly states that it is an older armor, and it possesses both the older mouth configuration, and the external battery packs on the hips. However, it has a square unibeam, which had not been seen on any significant suit of armor up to that point. It also had a red stripe down the middle of the "belly", a feature of the Neo-Classic Armor not present on any of the classic suits.
Iron Man #272
Another shot of Stark's armor archive, containing several variants. From left to right:
- Silver Armor
- Neo-Classic Armor variant (widow's peak is unusually long)
- variant grey armor with square unibeam
- remote control Neo-Classic Armor
- variant blue-grey armor, possibly a stealth suit
- variant red-and-gold armor with square unibeam, possibly a Neo-Classic Armor variant
- variant red-and-gold armor with bulky belt, possibly the New Space Armor (which debuted a few issues after this issue)

Mercury placed in first house of horoscope is beneficial only in case if sitting alone. If it is sitting with any sinful planet like Sun, becomes malefic. Having mercury in first house of horoscope the native is intelligent, he can be married at young age, he will be long lived, belief in God, will be comic flair.
Mercury in first house gives earnings through writings and the person is thrifty and dear of bride class. If mercury placed in Gemini, Libra or Aquarius the native can be an artist and becomes a great speaker of assembly. If mercury placed in Sagittarius the person is fearless and fair. When mercury placed in Scorpio, the native is a harsh speaker and in in Virgo, Capricorn, the person can become a successful business person or high official in a company.
But according to the nature he is not successful in society, as he speaks less, do not meet people without any reason and do not make many friends. He is always interested to make relations with others wife. Native may be less educated due to interruptions in study but still he is very intelligent. according to my experience mercury in first house of horoscope make the native practical about the dissension of his life, he or she never compromise with their comforts due to emotional things. but due to other planets conjunctions with mercury or aspects on mercury can change the results accordingly.
Note: All results written above are based on Indian Vedic Astrology, Due to other planets placement in horoscope the results may vary.
Next Mercury in second house of horoscope
Previous Mars in twelfth house of horoscope

Bling 11: October Status Report
CC: TERRY C's REPLACEMENT (PLEASE ADVISE), PAT L.
Item 1: Abacus Sighting
Good news! After fully mobilizing [link to e-mail] my global informant network behind recovery of the decoder abacus needed to process the daunting stack of encrypted Orders, reliable European sources (a man I will refer to only as Tommy Tango) sighted [link to picture of abacus in bathroom] the device in the "facilities" of a Dusseldorf beer garden only yesterday. Based on our shared fondness for carvery cuisine and frothy beverages, it's no surprise Terry C. would make this location his next stop on the lam and designate a Teutonic urinal as drop spot for transfer of the device into the grubby hands of the moles at PanOmni. Foiled again! I'll ask that T. Tango personally courier the device to your attention. Until I know it's safely in your hands, I simply can't risk putting the Orders in transit. However, please gross up The Numbers accordingly since these sales are essentially "in the bank". On to more important matters.
Item 2: Pending Orders
To confirm – Bismarck is in North Dakota and Orem is in Utah. Surprised you were not aware of the pivotal trade events that occur semi-annually in these fine municipalities.
Item 3: Legal Crisis
Frankly, J.B., someone is asleep at the switch. Or the wheel. I am uncertain as to whether sleeping at the wheel or the switch is the better analogy here. Point is, I have noticed a disturbing lack of activity on the legal front. I Googled us and could find not a single mention of high-profile litigation in which we are involved. Are we not suing or being sued? Is there no one who sees the name Gargantico and thinks "deep pockets"? Conversely, can we not claim that The Numbers would have been exponentially enriched were it not for the underhanded tactics of some competing, and ideally cash-rich, enterprise? The answers, I say, are no, maybe, and yes! But the bigger question is: how do we maintain our corporate America credibility unless attorney armadas are continuously and conspicuously deployed toward our interests on multiple fronts? Clearly, our General Counsel is not drumming up enough work. I will provide more details of my plan next month. For now, know that I've already taken action [link to VM below], and that we should plan for January's corporate tagline to be the following:
"We're Gargantico: so sue us!"
Item 4: Project Gemini
Engineering and anatomical problems surfaced in further testing. Without going into gory detail, as a result of implementing the aforementioned pants activation device in tandem with trousers that are a bit too snug, I will need to spend some time with my nether regions in an elevated position, while gestating here at my laundro-office. Do a wounded warrior the small favor of re-stressing to Molly Tuttle the importance of re-stocking the peanut butter/cheese crackers in our electronic pantry. This is a message she still doesn't seem to get clearly.
Item 5: GlobaCorp Status
J.B., such is the strength of the relationship I have established with GlobaCorp, I expect you may now begin invoicing them at will and at whim in any amount you choose. No less an executive than Jesus Kalliente himself (recently promoted to EVP, I understand) has asked that I be on site whenever my hectic schedule permits, if not continuously. My patented credos (e.g., "Confidence is High!") are even emblazoned on conference room walls throughout their HQ. Our corporate cultures already mesh so thoroughly that we may wish to consider acquiring them soon.
Assuming I've recovered, perhaps we'll catch up at the fiscal year kickoff in Denver next month. Until then, I'm switching from a Blackberry to a GoodLink, but DE Jen should be prepared to fulfill her forwarding duties if the Laundromat pay phone still won't take incoming calls.
Voice Mail To JB Calhoun (linked from above text)
Voice Mail Voice: Tuesday, October 12, Three Thirty Seven P.M., ONE new messages
[beep beep beep]
Official's Voice: Mr. Calhoun, my name is Madison Aldridge. I'm calling from the state Attorney General's office. I have the same message in to the General Counsel and Corporate Secretary names we have on file here for your company. It's in response to a strange sequence of correspondence our office has received in the past few days. Each day, we're getting the business page of a different newspaper pasted with a mock headline involving your company. Today, for example, the headline was "Gargantico Market Dominance Deemed Unfair". In others, you yourself are named in some sort of conspiracy. I think we need to plan on getting together to talk about this. Please contact my office as soon as possible.

J.B. – It's the craziest thing. Morale here's at an all-time high. Our sales force is giddy even though the economy's in the crapper. I'm seeing results in the quarterly numbers. That's after only a couple meetings and some e-mails from Bling. So I'm asking my admin to re-issue a new and larger P.O. for his services.
My big problem right now is not how much he's worth, but figuring out what accounting GL the expense should hit. What do you call him –HR consulting? Entertainment? A mascot? We need a new category, but we'll figure it out.
Thanks again for bringing him to us. BTW, I got a message from some clown at your place who wants talk about what the rest of your company does – whatever that is (I thought it was systems and process analysis or IT, but some people seem to think it's apparel or maybe novelties). But I don't really care and we really only want to deal with Bling.

Bling. Amazing how timely your e-mail was – I've already spotted your abacus and attached a photo for your confirmation.
I await your instructions, oh great corporate Svengali. Shall I board a Learjet this very day and personally courier the device to some high-ranking American executive at the company's expense? Perhaps it should be sent directly to the head of some obscure nation state or… oh, I can only speculate. Tell me!

He's back! We're on with Bling again. Check out the below. This could be the best one yet. Here's what you gotta do while I'm at work. Go down to Schenker's. No wait, first go down to Chinatown and buy an abacus. THEN, go down to Schenker's and take a digital picture of it in the toilet or something. I don't know – you get the idea. Hurry!

Subject: Abacus
Trusted Emissaries. Bling here. To verify: the quick brown donkey jumps over the lazy frog.
Was it Churchill, or Caesar or Nixon or someone entirely else who once said "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"? Well I first ask you to insert "Bling" wherever it says "country" above. I then move on to tell you what you can do for me.
You are of course familiar with the longstanding practice of thwarting corporate espionage by encrypting sales orders for safe transit, and then decrypting them once safely received using a secret decoder abacus. Well, the unthinkable has happened. The official guardian of Gargantico's abacus defected, taking the vital instrument with him on the lam. He could be anywhere, though based on his itinerary and predilections, I would focus on north Europe and central Mexico or anywhere else fine ales, stouts, and pilsners are served.
What I ask is simple. Keep your eyes out for an abacus. That may sound silly, based on the number of abacuses you no doubt encounter daily. However, I assure you this one will make itself known to you. It will appear to be just the sort of workaday abacus you all carry in your attache' cases, but you will see it in an odd spot that will make you say "hey, that's a strange spot for an abacus". That will be our abacus. You must notify me at once.
One other clue. Our deranged traitor seems to have acquired a taste for sabotaging commodes for no purpose other than the sick thrill of it. Take care!

On Sunday night (Nov. 8), BBC Radio 1 hosted their annual Teen Awards. It was loads of fun, aside from the moment 5 Seconds of Summer guitarist Michael Clifford totally fell off stage. He's okay though, guys! Don't worry.
Meanwhile, it looks like some of the real fun took place backstage, courtesy of English pub Sugarscape. They asked everyone from All Time Low and 5SOS to Little Mix and The Vamps to sing the 2000 Wheatus alt-rock hit "Teenage Dirtbag," and it was kind of great.
You Me At Six, and DJs Scott Mills and Chris Stark, also get in on the action. Watch it above, then take our quizzes: Which Era of All Time Low Are You? and How Well Do You Know 5SOS?

The correct practice is to prorate CPF during the month when employee just received PR status and it is based on the CPF rate for PR year 1 (PR1).
You find out more details under How do I determine the year of SPR status for my SPR employees?
In Talenox, since this proration doesn't kick in automatically, here's how you can make it work:
- In "View all jobs" under Current Job Details section in the specific employee profile, create a new job card starting from the issue date of Permanent Resident.
- As you process payroll, there'll be 2 rows of Basic Salary due the salary proration.
- Uncheck CPF box for the Basic Salary before issue date of Permanent Resident.
- Then process payroll accordingly.
We will keep this article for reference before the proration of CPF is automated for such a case. :)

Voters will go to the polls in a special election in March to decide who should fill the vacancy on the Montebello City Council created when Vanessa Delgado resigned last month following her election to the state Senate.
The City Council voted Wednesday 3-1 in favor of a special election, several saying residents they talked to opposed making an appointment.
The move will cost the cash-challenged city about $150,000, according to staff.
"I agree it's the best money we can ever spend, to let the people decide who will serve out the remainder of that term," Councilwoman Vivian Romero said. "It should not be an appointee."
Delgado was serving her first term on the council when she was elected in August to a near-four-month term to the Senate to fill a vacancy created when then-Sen. Tony Mendoza, D-Artesia, resigned amid sexual harassment allegations.
In November, voters will decide between Democrat Bob Archuleta, a Pico Rivera councilman, and Whittier attorney Rita Topalian, a Republican, for a new four-year term that begins in early December.
Councilman Jack Hadjinian cast the lone no vote calling for a special election, saying the council simply should appoint Delgado's successor.
"A few residents apparently represent the entire city," Hadjinian said. "That's how they act. They want to spend $150,000 to pay for a term that will be 18-19 months. I'm not for spending $150,000 when we haven't been able to give City Hall employees a raise in 10 years."
Councilman Bill Molinari, who with Councilman Art Barajas and Romero, voted for the special election, replied that Hadjinian had no problem in spending $100,000 to put the sale of the city water company on the ballot or $250,000 to ask voters to approve a failed special election to raise sales taxes.
"When you say a few people, I think three council members represent more than a few people," Molinari said. "This is going to be a very critical position on this council."
Hadjinian responded the two special elections for which he advocated could have brought in millions of dollars to the city.

Andrei Broder is recognized for his contributions to the science and engineering of the World Wide Web.
It's no wonder Yahoo has a strong connection with universities. Started by two grad students in a trailer on campus at Stanford, Yahoo continues to stay close to its roots in a number of ways.
Second annual Key Scientific Challenges Program brings together top minds in academia and industry.
Increasing demand for the web services and applications that have become such a central part of our lives (like email and web video, just to name a few) is also causing a steady rise in the need for more and more computing power to make all of theses services work and work well.
Yahoo Labs had another outstanding presence with 17 accepted papers, and winning the Best Paper Award out of a total of 45 accepted papers.
Last week, we hosted cloud computing technologists and researchers from around the world at Yahoo for the second Open Cirrus Summit. We chatted with researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell, and UC Berkeley to learn about some of the scientific research being conducted.
Computer scientists from leading technology corporations, world-class universities, and public sector organizations have gathered in Sunnyvale to discuss the future of computer science research in the cloud. The breadth of the research talent is expanding this week, as the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University officially joins the Open Cirrus Testbed.
In the last year, Yahoo Labs has bolstered its ranks of social scientists, adding highly credentialed cognitive psychologists, economists and ethnographers from top universities around the world. At approximately 25 people, it's still the smallest group within the research division, but one of the fastest growing.

You may have tried sky diving, hot air ballooning, race car driving, or white water rafting, but none of those will get your heart thumping quite like what you can do on your next Caribbean holiday.
Let us tell you about an exciting adventure that will be the highlight of your Caribbean vacation – a guided shark dive.
You will need to be a certified SCUBA diver in order to participate, but most warm water resorts, and many cruise ships offer certification courses that will have you trained and ready for action within a few days.
Our personal favorite shark dive location is an easy plane ride from the US in the Bahama Islands. The island of New Providence has the town of Nassau where 80% of Bahamians live. At the opposite end of the island from Nassau you will find Stuart's Cove, -one of the very best dive operators. Interestingly, Stuart's dive center is located in the old film set from the 1996 movie "Flipper."
There are many dive resorts that offer shark dives in the Bahamas, and we have found that all of the larger operators do a good job.
Next to the stingrays in the Cayman Islands, the Caribbean reef sharks are probably the closest thing to a trained fish that you will find anywhere on the planet. They are fed regularly by the shark dive tour operators and know exactly when to congregate for feedings.
During a shark feeding, all divers are required to sit on the bottom in a circle with their arms folded. The dive master, who is wearing a chain link suit sits in the middle of the circle and dispenses large pieces of fish to the swarming sharks from a bucket via a metal pole. The process is often quite orderly with each shark waiting its turn for a quick gobble.
Shark feedings are interesting, but we have the most fun when we are cruising along side the sharks as they start to gather at feeding time. Their luminescent lime green eyes follow you as they swim past. They are as curious about humans as we are about them.
Fear dissipates quickly as you swim among them, and learn to appreciate their rhythm and beauty.
Sharks are graceful creatures with a royal bearing befitting the name "Monarchs of the sea."
Of course, not all sharks are created equal, but the Caribbean reef shark in particular is quite docile. The proof is that the dive tour operators have been providing excitement to willing divers for years. As far as we know, there have not been any tragic consequences.
Happy travels!

text: It is at this time that George Forgie finally realized himself s a devout Realist. Subject matter varies! The landscape returns; the silhouette finds identity; detail is accentuated – involvement with subject becomes more intimate. Hard-edge remains; high-keyed colour returns; Surrealism within the subject speaks in a developing, and consistent, spiritual language. Paintings often are more than they appear; barriers will be presented usually in the foreground of the canvas, yet, content draws the' viewer inside to explore the mysteries within. Figures will haunt and emerge, as part of a secret language; the artist is infusing into all works from now on. Figures, still life, and landscape paintings will all explore these dreamscape qualities, sometime obvious; more often as disconcerting elements that require the viewer to get into the painting. In early works, boundaries confine space, they slowly give way, while the sensation of the 3rd dimension is arrived by combination of perspective and overlapping planes. This is the start of a quality of photo realism in the painting that will captivate through the remaining periods of his career almost overnight, the silhouette gives way to photo or high realism.
