Date: Aug 15, 2014
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has received a complaint asking it to investigate thirty companies for alleged U.S.-EU Safe Harbor violations.
The Center for Digital Democracy (CDD) filed a complaint with the FTC on August 13, 2014, alleging that thirty companies – including Adobe, AOL, and Acxiom – were not adequately protecting European Union (EU) consumers' rights.
While the data privacy and collection practices differ for each company, some of the violations cited in the CDD's complaint include failing to provide meaningful privacy policies, inadequately explaining data collection practices, failing to provide appropriate opt-out mechanisms, and claiming that collected data is "anonymous," but failing to inform consumers that the collected data is sufficient to allow tracking. CDD also said several companies claimed to be "data processors" subject to less stringent EU regulations, but CDD asserts that the companies in reality play a central role in collecting data to profile and target consumers.
The U.S.-EU Safe Harbor agreement is a voluntary program established in 2000 and recognized as an adequate way to transfer EU data to the U.S. Under the program, companies self-certify annually to the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) that they abide by certain privacy principles when transferring data outside the EU. Companies agree to provide clear data privacy and collection notices and offer opt-out mechanisms for EU consumers.
The Safe Harbor program came under scrutiny after the Edward Snowden leaks about the extent of U.S. surveillance programs. The European Commission, alarmed at the reports, urged the U.S. to establish more stringent data security mechanisms and provide greater safe harbor oversight. The European Parliament went further, voting in March to no longer recognize the Safe Harbor. Although the FTC has brought actions for Safe Harbor violations over the last several years, it has stepped up enforcement actions this year in light of criticism about the program. Since January of this year, the FTC has filed suits against fourteen companies for alleged Safe Harbor violations. The CDD is urging the FTC to continue its enforcement efforts, specifically with regard to the thirty companies cited in its complaint. CDD Legal Director Hudson Kingston said, "CDD's complaint describes the systemic failure of the Safe Harbor to function as it was intended" and claims "safe harbor has to be overhauled to make sure it actually works."
For more information about privacy and data security issues, contact Sheila A. Millar at firstname.lastname@example.com or 202 434-4143; or Tracy P. Marshall at email@example.com or 202 434-4234.

Almirola wins soggy, rain-shortened Coke Zero 400 at Daytona
Tampa driver in the right place at the right time when the final storm struck
Richard Petty Motorsports Ford driver and Tampa native Aric Almirola was in the right place at the right time as NASCAR called the Coke Zero 400 for rain with 112 of 160 laps in the books. It's Almirola's first Sprint Cup win.
It was a strange race, where the proper name should have been the Air Titan 400, as NASCAR's new track dryers spent as much time on the track in the past 18 hours as the cars.
But that didn't matter to Almirola. He said he would rather have won under a green flag, but this one is sweet, anyway. "This is really, really special. I'll take them any way I can get them," Almirola said. The number 43 has not won a race since 1999, and this victory comes 30 years after Petty won his 200th race with a victory at Daytona. It also means Almirola will likely have a spot in the NASCAR Chase for the Championship.
"I grew up two hours away from here in Tampa and I grew up in those stands watching Daytona 500s and Firecracker 400s and grew up dreaming about what it would be like to win here," Almirola said. " I can't believe I just took the 43 car to victory lane here at Daytona. This is amazing."
Brian Vickers in the Michael Walltrip Racing Toyota was second, Kurt Busch third, Casey Mears fourth and Austin Dillon was fifth in a diminished field where many of the usual front-runners were taken out in one of two major crashes.
Vickers, not surprisingly, was hoping the race would resume. "I think to a certain extent, as many fans that stuck around today to watch this race and to see 160 laps knowing it was only 1:30 or 2:00 in the afternoon -- I was shocked that it was going to be called this early in the day knowing that we have lights and when it was supposed to be a night race anyway. So, I don't know. I just kind of felt like it was going to be another storm that would come and go and we'd go back green and finish the race, but it ended up not being that way."
The race was scheduled for Saturday night, but rain began falling in the afternoon, and the race was postponed at 9 p.m. until 11 a.m. Sunday.
It was not easy for anyone, including fans. On the 20th lap, right before NASCAR was going to call a "competition caution" period, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. spun, collecting a dozen cars, many of them top runners like Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Larson. Some cars tried to take refuge in the grass, only to find it a muddy field from all the rain that shredded front bumpers off and sent cars spinning out of control.
Tony Stewart, whose number 14 car was among the most damaged, said the No. 17 car (Stenhouse) "got sideways on the lap that we're all getting a competition caution. I don't know. I guess Ricky thought it paid something to get to lap 20. It didn't make much sense to me, but I'm not that smart either, so I don't know." . "I don't know what happened," Johnson said "There were just cars spinning. I just feel so bad for my crew. They worked so hard to get a car ready to come down here and have a fast car. And then we make 15 laps four days later, or something like that? I'm certainly disappointed. I was kind of busy with my environment of three-wide and I just saw cars moving around and smoke in front of us. So I don't know what triggered it or what happened. But I'm just thoroughly disappointed for everybody on the Lowe's team. Those guys have been down here for four days in this heat, working on the car; not to mention all the time and effort put into this, to go 15 or 20 laps is just a really big bummer."
"It looked like the No. 17 got squirrelly up there and then they all started wrecking," Harvick said. "I had the wreck cleared but unfortunately with the splitters and everything out in front, the grass is what tears all the cars up. It was unfortunate for our Budweiser Chevy; but maybe one day they'll make grass that's not eight inches tall."
That was the Big One 1. Big One 2 happened on lap 97 when Kasey Kahne, winner of the rain-delayed Nationwide race Friday night, got turned by Greg Biffle while running up in the top five while racing down the backstretch. Cars suddenly scattered in every direction, but there was nowhere to go.
During the massive pileup, Jamie McMurray was sent flying through the air with all four wheels coming off the ground. Kyle Busch flipped at the tail end of the wreck and sat in the car as crews pushed the No. 18 machine back on its wheels.
"When you have a car spin out at the front of the field, there is just nowhere to go. I ran into the guy who was directly in front of me and the guy behind me clobbered me," McMurray said.
Among those involved were Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Kasey Kahne, Clint Bowyer Jamie McMurray, Greg Biffle, Kyle Busch, Ryan Newman, and many others. As many as 26 cars were swept up in the mess, according to NASCAR.
"What a mess," said polesitter David Gilliland, who was caught up in the second incident. "I knew there was going to be trouble," Gillliland said, as some cars were on fresh tires, others weren't, as rain is threatening to end the race early. This crash caused the second red flag of the race -- the first was for a rain delay of 26 minutes.
"I was about sixth or so and I was getting hit from behind and I just started spinning. It's kind of a tough spot to be in there because everybody is trying to get going and I just got hit, started going left to right and spun around. I knew it was going to be big as far up as I was," Kahne said.
"Just close quarters racing," Biffle said. "A just a chain reaction." The pileup, which began on the back straight, ended with Kyle Busch upside-down. No injuries have been reported. "It just felt like a slow carnival ride," Busch said.
The race resumed on lap 104, but was quickly yellow-flagged, then stopped completely for rain on lap 113. Almirola was leading, and looking for advice on how to do a proper rain dance. "I'm not going to lie, I just wish the good lord would dump a big rain shower on us right now," Almirola said, of the chance of getting his first Cup win.
But the rain continued, and began falling harder, and weather radar was not promising. "Florida in the summertime is tough in the afternoon," said Danica Patrick, who was eighth.
The NASCAR Sprint Cup series moves to New Hampshire next Sunday.

IMIM Institut Recerca Hospital del Mar posted this:New method for the determination of the risk of atypical fractures in patients treated with bone remodelling inhibitors.Up to date there is not any technology for detecting the risk to suffer atypical fractures related to long-term treatment with bone remodelling inhibitors. The invention will be of usefulness for individualize treatments in patients treated with bone remodelling inhibitors by detecting the individual risk of suffering atypical fractures. The invention is planned to be included into an in-vitro diagnostic tool for the atypical fracture, which will be included into standard disease management protocols and therefore used routinely by physicians prior to and after the prescription of bone remodelling drugs and further osteoporosis drugs. Osteoporosis is a progressive bone disease with a characteristic decrease in bone mass and density which can lead to an increased risk of fracture. There are two types of osteoporosis: •Type 1: most common in women after menopause, named postmenopausal osteoporosis •Type 2: Senile osteoporosis, occurs mostly after age of 75 years and has equally effect in women and in men Based on the WHO diagnostic criteria, approximately 22 million women and 5.5 million men aged between 50 and 84 years had osteoporosis in the European Union (EU) in 2010, whilst osteoporosis can be found in the list of 10 most important diseases named by the WHO. Due to changes in population demography, the number of men and women with osteoporosis might rise from 27.5 million in 2010 to 33.9 million in 2025, corresponding to an increase of 23%. The number of new fractures in the EU in 2010 was estimated at 3,5 million cases, in between these approximately 620.000 hip fractures, 520.000 vertebral fractures, 560.000 forearm fractures and 1.800.000 fractures of i.e. pelvis, rib, humerus, tibia, fibula, clavicle, scapula, sternum, and other femoral fractures. Two thirds of all fractures occurred in women. In 2010, the number of deaths causally related to fractures was estimated at 43.000. The corresponding cost of osteoporosis in the EU, also in 2010 figures, including pharmacological intervention, was estimated at €37 billion out of which costs of treating fractures represented 66%, pharmacological prevention 5% and long term fracture care 29%. The total health burden was estimated at 1 180 000 lost Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) for the EU. The total cost in the EU might rise from €98 billion in 2010 to €120 billion Euro in 2025. The use of osteoporosis drugs has increased considerably. Approved pharmacological interventions (bisphosphonates, strontium ranelate, raloxifene, denosumab and parathyroid hormone peptides) are widely available but their use is restricted by reimbursement policies. Alendronate (a bisphosphonate) is the most commonly prescribed agent, accounting for approximately a quarter of the total value of sales. The potential users/partners are pharmaceutical companies, excluding pure generic companies (lacking development resources, relevant lobbying and sales channel to the policy makers and practitioner) selling drugs in the indication osteoporosis

In another incident, a second secretary stationed at the Indian mission received an email from Facebook notifying of repeated attempts made to log into his Facebook account.
The harassment of Indian diplomats continues unabated this year as well. The latest incident is an attempt to hack the social media accounts of Indian High Commission diplomats posted in Islamabad. In one such incident, attempts were made to hack the social media account of a second secretary in Islamabad. Fake profile similar to that of the diplomat's relatives was created to hack the account.
In another incident, a second secretary stationed at the Indian mission received an email from Facebook notifying repeated attempts made to log into his Facebook account.
India sent a note verbale regarding the issue to Pakistan's foreign office on January 10 saying, "such incidents of aggressive surveillance, violation of privacy and harassment amount to a breach of the understanding reached between Pakistan foreign secretary and the High Commissioner of India on 27th March 2018."

Indian diplomats in Islamabad have been facing harassment since the end of 2018. On December 4, 2018, the Indian High Commissioner and Deputy High Commissioner were closely followed and aggressively watched by Pakistani security officials during a wedding reception at Serena Hotel, Islamabad.
|A Timeline of Harassment

|Dec 21
|Diplomats questioned on road in Peshawar
|Dec 25
|Electricity cut to diplomat's house
On December 10, someone tried to barge into the house of an Indian diplomat. On December 21, the Indian High Commission team was questioned on a road in Peshawar. On Christmas, the electricity was cut to the house of an Indian diplomat.
WION was the first to report the harassment of Indian diplomats in Pakistan. Earlier in 2018, Indian and Pakistani diplomats in Islamabad and New Delhi had reported incidents of harassment and an understanding was reached in March 2018 to avoid such occurrences with both sides coming out with an official statement.
The functioning of the diplomatic missions between India and Pakistan is governed by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, 1961 and the bilateral Code of Conduct, 1992.
The 1992 code of conduct clearly says the safety and security of the premises of diplomatic personnel, their families shall be respected and protected and any intrusive and aggressive surveillance shall not be allowed.

In addition to being a skilled hairstylist she's also a certified Makeup Artist, graduating from Von Lee School for Aesthetics.

I can be creative and help my clients to feel their best!" Morelia has a sweet tooth, a sweet personality and some seriously skilled hands. I haven't met a client that didn't enjoy working with her!
"Morelia and Lorena were fantastic and enjoyable to work with. They are both talented artists who listened to exactly the type of look I wanted and then worked with my hair and makeup along the way to get every strand of hair and every shade of makeup exactly right. The day of the wedding, they arrived on time, brought all of their own equipment (including lighting and makeup chairs), and worked with my bridesmaids and family members to get the looks they wanted. Everyone was stunning! I can't imagine better service from start to finish!"

Margaret Foti, PhD, MD (hc), is the chief executive officer of the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR), the first and largest cancer research organization in the world. Under her visionary leadership, membership has grown from about 3,000 members to over 46,000 in 127 countries and territories, and the AACR's portfolio of peer-reviewed scientific journals has increased from one to nine.
Foti progressed through several key editorial and management roles in scientific publishing to become chief executive officer. She launched eight major peer-reviewed scientific journals: Blood Cancer Discovery, Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention; Clinical Cancer Research; Molecular Cancer Therapeutics; Molecular Cancer Research; Cancer Prevention Research; Cancer Discovery; and Cancer Immunology Research. She also helped launch Cancer Today, a magazine for cancer patients, survivors, and their families and caregivers, as well as a new AACR publication, titled Leading Discoveries.
A graduate of Temple University, Foti is one of the most influential voices in advancing the field of cancer research, both in the United States and abroad. She was elected president of three professional societies in scholarly publishing and in cancer research. She has also served as a board member, committee member, and consultant to a number of other nonprofit organizations. There is a legacy of young women, minority scientists, and investigators-in-training whose careers have been advanced as a result of her mentorship and support.
Under Foti's leadership, the AACR has served with distinction as the Scientific Partner of Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C). In this capacity, Foti and the AACR staff have brought significant expertise to their work with SU2C, especially in the scientific peer review of projects, scientific project management, grants administration, communications, and science policy.
Foti's leadership was instrumental in the production of the first landmark AACR Cancer Progress Report in 2011 and the equally important subsequent annual reports which celebrate advances in basic, translational, and clinical cancer research, all of which has had a major impact on therapeutic development and improved patient care.
Foti's contributions have been widely recognized by numerous awards from organizations around the world. Her lengthy list of formal recognitions includes honorary degrees in medicine and surgery from the University of Rome La Sapienza and the University of Catania in Sicily, and an honorary degree in medicine from the University CEU of San Pablo in Madrid. She was recognized with the 2018 Women for Oncology Award from the European Society for Medical Oncology, the 2016 PHL Life Sciences Ultimate Solution Award, the Ovarcome Excellence 2016 Award, the 2016 James Ewing Layperson's Award from the Society of Surgical Oncology, the 2016 Honorary Member Award from the Oncology Nursing Society, and as a 2015 honoree of "the one hundred" by Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center. Additionally, she received the 2015 Children's Champion Award from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the 2014 Ellen V. Sigal Advocacy Leadership Award from Friends of Cancer Research, the 2014 Morton M. Kligerman Visiting Professorship Award from the University of Pennsylvania, the 2013 Stanley P. Reimann Honor Award from Fox Chase Cancer Center, and the 2013 Distinguished Partner in Hope Award during the Annual Colorectal Cancer Conference hosted by the Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania. In 2007, the AACR established the first AACR Margaret Foti Award for Leadership and Extraordinary Achievements in Cancer Research, which is given annually in her name. Her visionary leadership, combined with her steadfast focus on the AACR's mission, continues to drive the field forward towards the vital goal of preventing and curing all cancers.

THE ONLY WAY a business can survive, according to Mo Moubarak, co-founder of online recruitment service MoBerries, is through the bond made between startup bosses and their employees.
It's a simple enough idea, but retaining talent in the tech sector can be incredibly tricky. According to research from LinkedIn (by analysing turnover rates across it's userbase), technology companies have the highest turnover of staff compared to any other industry. 'We compete against every company, every sector,' Moubarak says.
Moubarak is, of course, well accustomed to hunting for talent in a competitive market – the MoBerries platform is all about recruiting staff for technology roles, after all. And while the platform is his first port of call for hiring his own staff too, with 94% of the company's employees coming through this channel, actually building loyalty among employees is something that must be worked on continually.
By looking to people already using his product, Moubarak can ensure there's a certain degree of understanding about what MoBerries does. Hopefully they also already rate the quality of the product – both things which make it easier to sell the business to the candidates in an interview setting.
MoBerries is not alone in using this tactic. Crème de la Crème – a Londonbased tech recruitment platform – also hunts for users that could someday become staffers, and has even hired C-Suite team members this way.
When a candidate is invited for interview, it's an opportunity to get them excited about the prospect of a job offer. Moubarak says he does not offer any extra perks to entice people into the business (like gym passes) because he wants to emphasise the merits of the platform that's being built. He also wants to set himself apart from businesses that have a reputation for putting perks in place where salaries could be better. 'I don't use soft messaging like: "we have an office bar",' he says. '[That's] a way to get people in cheaper, [by] offering those illusions.'
Beyond the essentials (he looks for developers with roughly five years experience in the sector who have 'out of this world' capabilities), Moubarak says it's key that anyone who works at MoBerries should slot into the company's culture which – for better or worse – he describes as being as tight-knit as the Mafia. 'I look for personality, motivation and what a person can contribute,' he adds.
Moubarak is also realistic about the risks of staff being poached by other companies. 'The key is to realise not everyone is going to stay with you forever,' he says, adding that nothing good can ever come out of persuading employees to stay with a business if they are tempted by a poacher's offer.
To make sure staff don't get to the point where they're entertaining new offers, he makes sure that everyone – from junior levels to top management – get involved in decision-making and 'shape the future of the company'. The business is run 'like a committee, and employees are given genuine responsibilities in the company's operations,' he explains.
MoBerries' staff turnover rate for 2018 was 23%, compared to Germany's industry wide average of 25-30%. That's pretty good going for a tech company. 'The key thing is to be real with people and proactively make them a part of your business,' he says. 'Be real and sell the mission, not the benefits.'

Padres' championship odds move big after Manny Machado signing
The San Diego Padres proved they are serious about contending in 2019 when they signed Manny Machado to a massive contract on Tuesday, but oddsmakers still do not consider their chances of winning the World Series to be all that great.
As sports business reporter Darren Rovell noted, the Padres odds of winning the World Series next season were 100/1 with the FanDuel Sportsbook before they signed Machado. Shelling out $300 million for the free agent slugger increased their odds to 66/1.
Machado deal moves Padres odds of winning the World Series, at @FDSportsbook, from 100/1 to 66/1.
— Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell) February 19, 2019
While the Padres have a lot of young talent and are in a great position to contend for years to come, they won just 66 games last season and finished last in the NL West. They have not been to the playoffs since 2006, so it will take a lot more than just Machado to get them back to the postseason.
The fact that the Padres were so bad in 2018 is one of the reasons many felt they were not serious with their interest in Machado and Bryce Harper, but their offer to the shortstop proved otherwise. At least one team from a much bigger market was left stunned by Machado choosing San Diego.

"Volcanic" (ヴォルカニック Vorukanikku) is an archetype of cards used by Axel Brodie in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime. Most of the monsters are reptilian, combined with military hardware and are intended to be used with the card "Blaze Accelerator", which destroys opposing monsters by using Pyro-Type monsters as "ammunition" by sending them from your hand to the Graveyard.
The main theme of the cards is to destroy monsters with "Blaze Accelerator" while dealing effect damage with cards like "Volcanic Scattershot", "Volcanic Slicer" and "Volcanic Hammerer". Both effects are applied to the trump cards of the archetype: "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" and "Volcanic Doomfire". A big weakness of this Deck can be cards that stop destruction. Since the whole base of this Deck is destroying your opponent's field, cards like "Prime Material Dragon", "Destruction Jammer" and "Stardust Dragon" can stop this Deck in its tracks. Because of that, Side Decking cards like "Discord" can be helpful.
When you want "Blaze Accelerator" or "Tri-Blaze Accelerator", you can Set "Volcanic Blaster". If your opponent attacks "Volcanic Blaster" and sends it to Graveyard, you can add "Volcanic Rocket" from your Deck to the top of your Deck. When you draw it, Summon it and add "Blaze Accelerator" or "Tri-Blaze Accelerator" to your hand. "Snipe Hunter" can be used as an alternate "Blaze Accelerator". Simply discard what you would normally use for "Blaze Accelerator" for its effect. At the cost of not being a guaranteed destroy, upsides to using "Snipe Hunter" include the facts that "Gladiator Beast Heraklinos" cannot negate its Summon (while it can negate the initial activation of "Blaze Accelerator"), "Stardust Dragon" and "Prime Material Dragon" cannot negate the destroying effect, you can destroy Spell and Trap Cards as well, and you can still declare attacks after using it.
When you successfully Summon "Volcanic Doomfire" you can activate "Final Attack Orders" to make all your opponent's monsters switch to Attack Position and then they will be forced to attack "Volcanic Doomfire" via its effect. You can add to the burn damage by Summoning "Lava Golem" to your opponent's side of the field. This is also a good way to take out cards that could be harmful to the Deck's strategy, such as "Stardust Dragon", "Prime Material Dragon", and "Aurkus, Lightsworn Druid".
If you can have "Volcanic Doomfire" on the field you can activate "Ojama Trio" and "Battle Mania" in that order on your opponent's turn. The "Ojama Tokens" will be forced to attack "Doomfire" due to his effect and because they are tokens, and are not sent to the Graveyard when destroyed by battle, the effect of "Doomfire" will not activate, thus resulting in 9000 Battle Damage and 900 effect damage.
"Ancient Fairy Dragon" can Special Summon "Volcanic" monsters from your hand and use its effect to deal effect damage and without entering the Battle Phase. Using "Volcanic Counter" as an Xyz Material for "Grenosaurus" will result in 1500 damage being inflicted when the Xyz Material is detached. Stalling cards such as "Gravity Bind" can aide this, and "Grenosaurus" can attack even with "Gravity Bind" since it has no Level.
It is easy to add Uria, Lord of Searing Flames to this type of deck. You possibly have most of the needed Continuous Trap Cards such as: Gravity Bind, Backfire, and Coffin Seller. You can use Gravity Bind to stall and burn using the decks main strategy until you get the necessary 3 traps, then send Gravity Bind to the Graveyard when summoning Uria, and you are free to attack with at least 3000 atk. Also if you are on the ropes, and dont have the necessary trap cards, Uria is a 0 atk pyro type monster, so it qualifies for use with Blaze Accelerator.

Every year for the Iowa/Iowa State football game Craig's family comes to either our house or his brother's house (depending on where the game is, it alternates each year) and this year it was at his brother's house. This is the only picture I took the whole weekend- ha! Cousins playing while adults were at the game!
My friend, Andrea came to visit for a game and we took our girls out to lunch while the boys went to the game.
We taught together years ago and were pregnant with these two at the exact same time. It was so fun being at school together as preggo mamas! And we are totally fine with these two getting married someday- ha!
Some of you may have heard about "the wave" that happened this year at Kinnick stadium. Every game the fans turn and wave to the kids in the hospital and it has become an amazing tradition. While I'm a cyclone fan at heart, this is so touching and I'm proud of Iowa. Andrew has spent many days and nights in that hospital (the old one, this was newly rebuilt last year), so this is close to my heart. Anyway, this day I got to take my 3rd graders on a field trip and they had them turn and wave. It was such a special moment.
Just a Saturday morning reading in mama's bed!
Lots of sidewalk chalk with the neighbors!
She drew this pretty picture for Ga Ga
And this cracked me up. He wrote "HELP! I've been forced to play outside!" Ha ha ha! This kid. He's such a homebody and I have to make him go outside most of the time!
The one activity I can get him on board with is Taekwondo. He loves when they do fun things in class like this!
Kerigan has been working hard in the gym all summer and fall, getting ready for competition season! She finally got her splits! Look at those legs #legsfordays
What can I say? Getting back into the swing of homework is hard, so we have to make it fun around here!
All that work makes it worth it when my girl brings home something sweet like this. I love that she loves our family game nights.
We love fall nights having a fire pit with the neighbors. This night we put 2 together in the backyard and grilled hot dogs and made s'mores!
The kids all played football- it was such a fun night!
One Saturday I took the kids and a neighbor to look at Halloween decorations and costumes at this crazy store in town that has all kinds of fun things!
Who knew poop emojis were so awesome? Ha!
They love all the creepy things that make noise and move around!
They tried on all the masks
A chicken for Ga Ga!
At school the kids had dress like your favorite character day- Kerigan was Laura Ingalls and Andrew was Dog Man!
Ga Ga was here so we went and had lunch with this sweet girl
I cannot get enough of this toothless smile!
Andrew's teacher posted this of the class! Andrew loves fun days like this- and he has such a nice class with lots of friends!
Ga Ga and I took the kids to see this movie- Andrew had been wanting to see it!
The school had a fund raiser where the kids decorated pizza boxes and then parents could call and have pizza delivered in their child's box! I thought this was such a cool idea! Until Andrew's came in another Andrew from his class' box! Oops! We did end up getting his box back!
Fun night at the kids school is always a hit!
This girl won the cake walk, and I may have squealed- Ha!
They have all kind of games and activities set up in the pods outside the classrooms
Then in the gym there are tons of bouncy houses and slides!
Andrew and his buddy Jack doing twister
Avery and Andrew loved their crazy glasses
We just love our school!
One day they had rainbow day where each grade wore a different color. Andrew was blue and Kerigan was orange- they are in there somewhere! (And that's our neighborhood in the background- love being so close to school!)
More pictures on the playground when I get to school- I love seeing these two! This day was pajama day in first grade!
Nutcracker practice underway! The day they brought out Mother Ginger's skirt was so exciting!
Lunch date with this girl after Nutcracker.
It's been a fun fall so far!

To stay updated with the latest in the beekeeping industry to may check out our apiculture latest news. On the other hand if you are starting beekeeping and would like to start professional beekeeping now download a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping, like every other activity, has its dos and don'ts. Start beekeeping usually includes the needed equipment and buying bees. However, some people who are starting this hobby generally make a few blunders. It's acceptable to make mistakes, and this article can help new beekeepers prevent making the exact same mistakes others have in the past.
Here are three blunders which every beekeeper should prevent:
1. Not understanding the best time to begin avocation or a beekeeping business can end up being a disaster. It may lead to some loss of your bees and money. Winter is the worst possible time to begin, since most bees expire during the winter. This would induce a beekeeper to purchase a fresh batch of bees, which would be more expensive cash. Fall is another poor time since you will find fewer blooms, thus a smaller amount of honey harvested to start beekeeping. The best time to begin beekeeping is during summer, which is the time of the year where there are lots of blooming blooms.
2. Buying used equipment and old books on beekeeping. This is a common mistake made by many beginning beekeepers. It's clear that one would need to conserve money as much as possible, but purchasing used old and equipment beekeeping books is not a great idea. First, used gear can come with "familial" difficulties. The extractor factory outlet might have a leak, or the uncapping knife mightn't be sharp enough to uncap all the wax in one go. This would surely affect the quality of one's honey, which will ben't an ideal scenario especially if a beekeeper is intending to commence a honey-selling company. Second, old novels can supply dated info on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the conventional approach when there are quicker and better means to keep beehives and manufacture honey.
3. Refraining from buying protective equipment. Think about this. He/she will most likely come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers, if one does not wear protective equipment when handling the hives and accumulating the honeycombs. Protective equipment is not cheap, yes, but it will help beekeepers avoid having to pay medical bills from all the bee stings.
These three errors have been presented here to help future beekeepers avoid them. It is best to consult with a professional beekeeper before getting started beekeeping. If buying a particular item appears overly expensive, consistently consider the ending price (if they don't buy this thing now, will it cost them more later on?). Ultimately, it is up to the individual to determine the best plan of action.

Study Looks at Calif. Quake Probability
Associated Press Writer
A federal study released Tuesday slightly reduced the chance that the San Francisco Bay area will be hit by a major earthquake in the next 30 years, but still put the probability at better than 50 percent.
The study, commissioned by the U.S. Geological Survey, set the probability of such a quake at 62 percent. The last time the survey was conducted, in 1999, the estimate was 70 percent. A major quake has a magnitude of 6.7 or greater.
David Schwartz, the study's co-author, noted that area residents face a greater chance of experiencing a significant quake than being affected by such well-publicized threats as anthrax.
"The things we face every day _ when we turn on the TV, or read the newspaper _ in many ways will never touch us," Schwartz, head of the USGS San Francisco Bay Area Earthquake Hazards project. "But living in this region, earthquakes will affect us. Earthquakes are going to happen."
Schwartz presented the research during a public lecture at the University of California, Berkeley.
The Bay Area's last major earthquake, with a magnitude of 6.9, occurred in 1989. Centered 50 miles south of San Francisco, the quake killed 40 people and caused about $6 billion in structural damage.
Researchers have said the devastation would have been much worse if the quake's epicenter had been closer to the region's urban center.
Today, the most potentially hazardous of the region's seven major faults is the combined Hayward-Rodgers Creek system, according to the study.
The Hayward fault roughly parallels the densely populated Interstate 880 corridor, while the Rodgers Creek fault extends north of San Francisco into the city of Santa Rosa.
The study also said the region has just a 10 percent chance of seeing an earthquake of magnitude 7.5 or greater.
The most significant seismic event in the Bay Area in the last century was the magnitude 7.9 San Francisco quake of 1906.

Tonight's sunset grew more beautiful with each passing moment. As the sky turned an increasing glorious golden hue, I raced to the Charleston Harbor to capture it. When I returned home, I learned that my son-in-law's aunt, and our family's treasured friend, Sister Margie had passed away. I am quite certain that tonight's magnificent sunset was God's way of welcoming her home. She would have been ninety-one years old on July 3. During her nearly ninety years on earth, this wonderful, giving woman touched many hearts. She simply made the world a better place. She will be missed by all who were blessed to know her.
Rest in peace, Sister Margie. Rest in peace.
When the golden sun is setting
And the earth no more you trod
May your name in gold be written
By the sacred hand of God.

Best Candidates
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that infants should visit the dentist before they turn one. Children may develop tooth decay and cavities as early as two years old, so it's important for your children to get preventive procedures and if needed, treatment. After that, you and every member of your family need to make appointments at Contemporary Dental Arts every six months. Everyone, at any age, should contact Contemporary Dental Arts if they are experiencing any discomfort, pain, or problems in their mouth. When the problem is caught quickly, you can have less invasive options for treatment that are often more successful.
What to Expect
A regular dental appointment will include a dental exam and professional cleaning. Additional treatments may be suggested if needed. Prior to any procedure, Dr. Shanard will talk to you about the options and methods recommended for you or your child to correct issues, such as misaligned teeth, cavities, and more. Dr. Shanard can also recommend proactive procedures, such as treatments with fluoride and sealants for children with developing teeth.
At the end of each dental visit, Dr. Shanard will help you come up with an individual plan to maintain your family's oral health. A key element is having a good home oral hygiene regimen, which means regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash use. Dr. Shanard or a member of her team can demonstrate proper brushing and flossing techniques or suggest products for specific concerns. Routine visits to Contemporary Dental Arts will also help Dr. Shanard watch your family's dental health and catch minor issues before they develop into bigger issues.
While general dental services are typically paid for by dental insurance, our team will make sure to check with your insurance carrier and then bill you if there are any additional expenses. Contemporary Dental Arts takes several payment methods, and we will give you more information on medical financing to help make your treatment more affordable.
Family Dental Care
At any age or stage of life, it is important to protect your smile and take preventive measures against oral conditions. We try to make visits to the dentist enjoyable at Contemporary Dental Arts, so your whole family can have beautiful, healthy mouths going forward. To learn more about our services or to make an appointment with Dr. Shanard, contact our office in Williston, VT.

There are two main types of word classes, each with several subtypes: Lexical Words and Function Words.
1 Lexical words:
Nouns: car, police, idea, love, builder, refugee, abstraction, substitutability
Verbs: be, do, write, connect, compare, limit, oppose, put off, bad-mouth
Adjectives: pale, clever, blue, deep, favourite, crummy, obstinate, fast-loving
Adverbs: soon, immediately, very, slowly, recklessly, obviously
Note: If you check your dictionary you will see that many words belong to two (or more) word classes: e.g. to turn- a turn, the police - to police, many limits - to limit. It is their use in a specific sentence that tells you which word class it belongs to.
2 Function words:
- Pronouns:
- Personal pronouns: I, you, we, etc.
- Possessive pronouns: mine, yours, his, ours, etc.*
- Demonstrative pronouns: this/that, these/those
- Reflexive pronouns: myself, yourself, ourselves, etc.
- Interrogative pronouns: who, what, which, how, why, etc.
- Relative pronouns: who, which, that, etc.
- Indefinite pronouns: somebody, anybody, everybody, all, many, a few, etc.
- Determiners ('bestemmerord') articles a (an), the; other determiners: some, many, another, etc.
- Auxiliaries ('hjelpeverb'): be, have, do, will, can, might, etc.
- Prepositions: to, by, for, under, beneath, across, in front of, etc.
- Subjunctions: when, while, if, that, whether, because, etc.
- Anticipatory there: There is a new pair of skis in the garage
- Empty it: It is surprising that they left
- Infinitive marker to: I hope to meet her tomorrow)
For more information about there and it, see 4C.
Note: *A determiner is a word that comes before a noun and tells us more about it. Many words can be both pronouns and determiners. Here that is a determiner in the first example and a pronoun in the second; I like that car/I like that. So also many and what in these examples many people left early /I didn't see many and what nonsense! /what did you see?
A subjunction makes a sub-clause part of a larger main clause: I would do it if I get the chance. Here if is the subjunction that connects if I get the chance to the main clause: I would do it. The infinitive marker may also be regarded as a subjunction.
We have now looked at the basic word classes in isolation. But we must look at how they can be expanded into longer phrases.

In the past, bunkers have been treated like art at a museum: DO NOT TOUCH.
For the 2019 Rules of Golf, there are still some touch restrictions, but "incidental" touches aren't penalized.
Starting this season, a player is allowed to touch/remove any loose impediments in a bunker (no longer just by local rule), and is generally allowed to touch the sand away from the ball with a hand or club in ways that won't affect play.
But common-sensibly, there are still three instances where the sand of a bunker still cannot be touched:
– during a practice swing (bunkers would never have any sand in them if this was allowed);
– by grounding the club right in front of or behind the ball; or
– in making the backswing for the stroke itself.
As long as you aren't intending to test the sand, go ahead and touch the bunker with your hand or club.
Go ahead and pick up any loose impediments in the bunker.
But don't touch the sand around the ball just before or during the stroke itself…

Loving Hospitality
Small Group Discussion Guide for Romans 12:9-13
"Hospitality is fundamentally an act of missional evangelism." – Rosaria Butterfield
The ethics preached in Romans 12:9-13 are more than just good ideas for social living.
When God redeemed his people from among the nations, He gave us a new heart with new ethics. He chose the church as His vehicle to bring the Gospel to every person in every corner of the world.
We should see our love for others through this framework. Fellow Christians and the world know that God loves them because he has sent us to love them.
God also uses our love for strangers to radically transform lives. Take time in your group to watch Rosaria Butterfield describe how the Gospel found its way into her life through the hospitality of a stranger.
Discussion Questions
- How do you distinguish genuine love from hypocritical love (v. 9)?
- How do you distinguish good from evil in your relationships with others?
- What are the most meaningful shows of brotherly affection and honor that you have received (v.10)?
- How does your life group help you to remain zealous, fervent in spirit, and patient in tribulation (vv. 11-12)?
- How do you define hospitality?
- What insight about hospitality did you gain from listening to Rosaria Butterfield?
- Why does showing hospitality make so many people fearful?
- How does hospitality exemplify the Gospel?
Venture Out is a new group at Venture Church that is organizing opportunities to serve in missions. They are currently planning mission trips for Venture folks to Kentucky and South Asia. Please keep this ministry in your prayers as God raises up local people with a heart to reach people at the ends of the earth.

What is ∑(3n-2) equal to?
i am working with sigma at the time, i will give this a whirl
so 3n-2 with all numbers from 1-25 plugged and then those added
i think its about 925
You got it !!
∑[3n - 2], n, 1, 25 ] = 925
Note: you can use the on-site calculator here by entering it like this:
Sum ((3n - 2), n, 1, 25) = 925
OBT, there is no about here. 925 either is or isn't the right answer.
If you would actually read the posts on your own fucking question, you would see this:
where Alan shows how to use the site calculator to solve this. He's the only one here who knows the calculator could do this.
Until a few hours ago, you could have read this:
Hummm are you Mr. BB, the F U C K F A C E Gingerale trolls?
He denies he is, but his post above clearly indicates he is the F U C K F A C E plagiarizer Gingerale knows him to be.
You have a bubble tank, so you can see through the turret. So look, read, and learn, or you will grow up to be an irrelevant, worthless dumbshit like Mr. BB. That's worse than someone blowing up your tank.
Censorship compensator: A defensive weapon, very annoying to mods and pansies who meltdown when anyone says anything harsh.

Hi there stampers! I have some very exciting news to share! I was recently asked to join the amazingly talented designers over at TGIF Challenges to join their design team! I am beyond humbled and extremely excited to be a part of this team and giggling with joy to share my first project on the design team with you today. If you aren't familiar with TGIF challenges, there is a new challenge posted every Friday on the blog and anyone can play along. All you have to do is get out your crafty goodies and create a new project following the challenge theme for that week then post your project to the blog. We pick a winner every week. Check out the blog for more details and also play along with us this week!
This week's theme is "Reflections" and I have to say this one challenged me beyond my comfort zone. Nothing like diving right in and getting started with a tough one. 😉 The moment I saw the theme my mind immediately went to the Waterfront stamp set. I fell in love with this stamp set in the Occasions Catalog and I am super happy to say it is carrying over to the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog! YYYAASSS!!
I decided to try using this stamp set to watercolor a scene and have the tree images reflecting in a body of water. Sounds easy right?!? Well, actually this card came together easier and quicker than I thought it would. I started with a piece of watercolor paper and wet a large area with clean, clear water. I smooshed onto a palette a lot of SU ink pads to make my watercolor palette. I used the following inks: Mossy Meadow, Balmy Blue, Early Espresso, Gray Granite, Smoky Slate, and Night of Navy. I applied a very light wash of color first to the panel to give the background some color and to lay down the areas where I was going to stamp my images. I would pick up color with my stamp from the ink pads, then stamp onto a scrap piece of paper, and then stamp onto the watercolor paper. I softened the images with a aqua painter. I kept working the stamped images until I got the softness I was going for with this watercolor piece.
Once I stamped an image and painted over it with clean water, I would then bring in light washes of color here and there to blend the images together. For the tree reflection in the water, I just turned the stamp the other way and stamped the images on the water. A lot of reflection techniques require you to stamp your image onto an acrylic block or acetate sheet to transfer the image onto your project, but the trees did not have to be a perfect reflection for this look. I worked on the reflected trees to break up the color to give the appearance of moving water.
I really liked how this card turned out and might try some different scenes using this stamp set to give a watercolor look. I look forward to sharing more projects for the TGIF Challenges with you and hope you will play along!
