As Independence Day approaches, you are likely planning a party. If a traditional 4th of July barbecue isn't your thing, there are still plenty of ways to celebrate. Here are a few alternatives to the typical red, white and blue shindig that we think could be equally, if not more fun:
Film Fest
Cinephiles, here's the chance to turn your home into the Deli from When Harry Met Sally. Serve guests popcorn or movie-themed food, like dates from Indiana Jones, lobsters from Annie Hall, or ratatouille from, well Ratatouille. Then, instead of battling crowds to go to see the fireworks when it gets dark, set up a projector with an old favorite movie and curl up in the back yard. Every movie is better under the starry night sky and it'll be a 4th of July you never forget.
Happy Birthday America!
Since Independence Day is the anniversary of the country, what better way to celebrate than with a birthday party? Sing Happy Birthday while serving cake and ice cream, play party games like having guests try to name all 50 states in 5 minutes, or have a contest to see who has visited the most American landmarks. To add a few final touches to the event, set up patriotic flowers such as Teleflora's '65 Ford Mustang Bouquet. This bouquet is a combination of red carnations, white chrysanthemums, blue delphiniums and yellow alstroemeria in a ceramic mustang collectible keepsake. After all, nothing says Happy Birthday America like a quintessential American automobile.
WWII USO Show
Celebrate this great nation by transforming your home into the Hollywood Canteen. Don your nylons and your best '40s dress, pin up your curls, and touch up the red lipstick because it's time to put on a show! You can collect donations from your guests for a worthy cause while screening '40s films like Casablanca and The Best Years of Our Lives in the background. Start the night with a classy dinner to make the evening a whole affair. You can play the Andrews Sisters and Glenn Miller during dinner and practice your swing dancing as the fireworks go off. It's a recipe for a perfect evening.
Thanksgiving in July
Break out the cranberries: here is a way to celebrate Thanksgiving with the people you actually like! Kick off the holidays six months early, and try out your recipes at this Fourth of July party instead. Decorate the table with an arrangement like Teleflora's Fall Blush Bouquet; a combination of orange bi-color roses, lilies, yellow alstroemeria, and orange carnations will set the scene for this pretend fall meal. Eat food, give thanks and watch fireworks, what could be better than that?
Historical Milestones
If you want to do something completely different this year, use July 4th to revel in other historical moments in history. July 4th is also the day that Lewis Carroll first told the story of Alice in Wonderland, Robert E. Lee withdrew from Gettysburg during the American Civil War, and Providence, Rhode Island was founded, to name just a few historical moments. Revel in all history this year and play games like bingo or host a costume contest. You are still honoring America but taking a road down America's memory lane.
What if Kennedy wasn't shot, or Nixon had won in his place? What if William Henry Harrison had worn a coat at his inauguration? Dare to imagine with Alternahistory, and have friends come up with strange versions of parallel American universes. This will challenge not only your history knowledge, but also get your creative juices flowing in a healthy, competitive way. In the end, the best alternate reality wins and you can come up with a prize of choice.
4th of July weekend is rich in history, but that doesn't mean you have to do the same exact thing every year if you don't want to. Try out a few of these alternatives and let us know what you think!

What's up everyone? Merry Christmas to you all. I hope all your wants and needs were met and you got everything on your wish list. If you didn't get them all, then lets get them next year.
In today's post I want to talk about the easiest site builder ever. Im not exaggeration one bit. As you all know, I am a big fan of Weebly. Why? Because I find it to be the simpliest and most easiest way to build a site. It is completely dummy proof to the 10th power!
For three or four days I decided to build a few sites on the weebly platform. I have done a few but this time I wanted to see how many I could build and learn all the features of the site.
Over a three or four day period, I manage to put up 7 website. I picked one template and choose a few color scheme. A few drag and drop elements, write content, upload picks, videos and I am done.
When I was finish, all my sites look freaking good. I didn't pay for anything, yet, because I plan to test out some of these sites doing PPC. They all still have the Weebly.com in the domain but I plan to covert them if the sites do well.
However though, these site took me very little time to build. It doesn't matter if you don't know a thing about putting a site together, Weebly easy to use site builder tool is the most simplest I've used so far.
Who Can Build a Site on Weebly?
Anyone can. I think even a 9 or 7 year old can build their own site. If you are a professional and like to do things yourself, then I encourage you to use this weebly free site builder tool.
It's easy and suitable for a plumber, Gardner, carpenter, lawyer, church organization. I am not hyping this up for any reason but the fact that it is really easy to use.
Is There a Paid Option?
Yes there is but it only applies to those who want a top level domain. What I mean is that instead of your website be http://blueshoes.weebly.com, you would pay for hosting and the domain without having the Weebly listed in your domain.
I build a site called www.RegistryBoy.weebly.com. This site is about a product 'RegistryBoost'. That site took me a few hours to do. It looks great…..(what do you think?) and It didn't cost me a dime.
One the other hand, I could have spend the money and drop the weebly but for now Im going to keep it that way. I wanted to see if this product converts before I go any further.
As you can see, the weebly sites looks great and their are tons of templates. I've tried Yola and others but Weebly stands out as the better one.
Don't get me wrong, most of these guys now are all using drag and drop. But non that I have tested has manage to sway me from http://Weebly.com
The best part is anyone can do this and also start now. Do you think I am wrong about Weebly? I would love to get your response.

Those cheese knives called "knorks" spring to mind - a knife meets a fork. You only really saw them in cheese adverts, although I saw one in the cutlery drawer when I was younger, and thought "what is that?"
Also, ladels (or whatever they are called) for eating soup. I always associated eating Heinz tomato soup with them.

Team8, a new cybersecurity research lab and startup foundry, recently launched with a mission to build revolutionary cybersecurity companies and architect a safer cyberworld. Team8 launches with an $18 million A-round investment from Alcatel-Lucent, Cisco Investments, Marker LLC, Bessemer Venture Partners (BVP), and Innovation Endeavors.
"Global cybersecurity threats are only becoming more targeted, frequent, and destructive in nature, so we're fortunate to be partnering with Team8, who is at the forefront of new cutting-edge cybersecurity innovation," said Eric Schmidt, founding partner of Innovation Endeavors and executive chairman of Google. "Team8 is a great example of how Israel has some of the best talent in the world to confront these challenges through its ability to develop advanced and creative solutions for this rapidly evolving landscape."
The Team8 foundry is a platform for building and launching cybersecurity companies from scratch. At the core of the foundry is a technology research group that acts as an operational think tank, carrying out extensive, practical research that incorporates offensive and defensive expertise. Team8 has assembled a unique pool of talent and applies proven methods for tackling the most challenging cybersecurity problems. Team8 also recruits experienced entrepreneurs to partner with technical teams, and plans to inject the capital, resources, expertise, and talent they need at every phase to launch successful startups.
The founding team is composed of accomplished entrepreneurs and cyberinnovation executives. Nadav Zafrir and Israel Grimberg, known figures in the Israeli cyberinnovation space, co-founded Team8 together with Liran Grinberg, an entrepreneur and product management expert (eToro, Conduit). Team8's technology research group is led by cyber-research veteran Assaf Mischari. Ray Rothrock, an investor and board member of Check Point Software Technologies, is joining Team8's board of directors. A special adviser to the team is Ronni Zehavi, a former security executive at Akamai Technologies who previously founded Cotendo (acquired by Akamai).
The Team8 platform is further enhanced by strategic research and engineering collaborations with industry leaders, such as Cisco and Alcatel-Lucent (including Alcatel-Lucent's leading industrial research arm, Bell Labs); both are among the platform's investors.
Bell Labs teams across the globe will collaborate with Team8 on various security challenges. This will include close collaboration between Team8 and Bell Labs researchers working at a cloud and security facility near Tel Aviv, representing the first major industry collaboration since the facility was officially opened in December 2014.
Exceptional leaders and entrepreneurs work with Team8 via an entrepreneur-in-residence (EIR) model, working out of the company's Tel Aviv headquarters to explore, ideate, and validate new concepts, hand-in-hand with Team8's leaders and extended network. All EIRs have access to Team8's domain expertise, research, marketing, business development, and top talent recruiting capabilities. Team8 funds this process, giving entrepreneurs the time and resources needed for the development of fundamental research into differentiated solutions and long-term, independent companies that solve real market needs.

In addition to their primary educational function, schools serve a secondary child care function. This is to say, during the period of time when children are in school, the school is responsible for their welfare, and parents are free to do the things they need to do such as work to support the family. When children cannot be at school for whatever reason, responsibility for children's welfare and care falls back upon children's parents and caregivers. For this reason, parents are wise to develop a plan for how they will handle school closings (scheduled and unscheduled), and days when children are too sick to attend school.
Schools close for various reasons, planned and unplanned. Most all schools schedule periodic breaks lasting for anywhere between a single day (e.g., to honor a religious or civic holiday or for administrative purposes such as a parent-teacher conference day) to several months duration (e.g., winter, spring and summer breaks). In areas that receive snow or severe storms, schools may close unexpectedly and without notice due to weather-related safety hazards. As well, children who are too sick to attend school may be ordered home so that the school can protect those students who remain well from contagion.
Parents handle school closings and sick days in different ways. Many working parents arrange their own work vacations to coincide with scheduled school holidays. When synchronized vacation time is not an option, some parents will negotiate with employers to be able to work from home (aka, to telecommute) so that they can be present to supervise children at least minimally. Still other parents will arrange hours with a childcare provider or baby-sitter. Families that cannot afford to pay for these types of arrangements must come up with alternative plans for providing care such as swapping care days with other parents or enlisting the help of other family members who have flexible time to offer.
Some schools, YMCA's, and community recreation centers offer school-break "camp" experiences or extended care-hours during scheduled breaks so as to provide children with a safe, supervised, fun, enriched experience when they are not in school. There are many camp experiences available for school-aged youth during the summer, as well. More about choosing summer camps can be found our article on Child Nurturance and Enrichment.

Leading classification society, the Indian Register of Shipping (IRClass), recently celebrated the opening of its Bangladesh office with an inauguration event.
The event, held at Hotel Agrabad, was attended by members of the regional shipping fraternity including shipping companies, shipyards, ship recycling units, ship design companies, flag administration and various service suppliers. Representatives from the Indian High Commission were also present to grace the occasion.
IRClass now has an office in Dhaka and representative office in Chittagong with both offices having qualified local surveyors to provide value added services to Bangladesh based clients.
In his opening address, Amit Bhatnagar (Senior Principal Surveyor & Vice President, IRClass) extolled the close relationship between classification societies and the industry. "IRClass will continue to work closely with the industry to help our clients develop practical and cost-effective solutions that meet their requirements", said Bhatnagar.
"We are excited to be a part of the vibrant maritime ecosystem in Bangladesh and we look forward to forging new relationships and renewing existing ones. We also look forward to working with ship recycling yards that have approached IRClass for certification under the Hong Kong Convention."
Bhatnagar's views were echoed by eminent industry stalwarts including Mr. Shakhawat Hossain (Former MD, Western Marine Shipyard) who urged the local industry to work closely with classification societies for quality and cost-effective outcomes as he shared anecdotes of his project collaborations with IRClass.
Capt. Muhammad Anam Chowdhury, an esteemed maritime personality in Bangladesh, opined that IRClass' presence in Bangladesh will bring about more opportunities for knowledge-sharing and long-term growth for the local industry.
Prior to the office inauguration, IRClass delivered a guest lecture at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Dhaka. Mr. S Ranganathan (Head – Plan Approval Centre, IRClass) delivered a lecture on plan approval process to budding naval architects and representatives from ship design houses.
He also unveiled IRHULL software, which is an excellent tool to self-verify the prepared hull plans and can be downloaded free of cost from IRClass website.

The Weiss fire notes, or Odd Mushroom's Notes, are obtained during the Making friends with my arm quest. It describes the various types of fires possible to make using salts found in Weiss.
The salts found in the caves around Weiss are fascinating. By burning them in the correct proportions, I can achieve incredible effects.
Some combinations can counter the effects of cold weather, others can dispel darkness more effectively than any other natural light source, and some seem able to imbue the rocks of the cave with magical-looking powers!
The challenge for me has been identifying the correct proportions. And, of course, finding suitable places to use them - my age makes it hard for me to explore beyond the boundaries of Weiss these days.
Perhaps other combinations will be discovered in future, with even more helpful applications. Knowledge is valuable in itself, but that dolt Mother values only inventions that help him fight.
We trolls have never been skilled at construction, and I get little opportunity to practice here.
However, from my calculations, I believe that the optimal site for my fires would be a brazier constructed from steel and mahogany. Two metal bars and two planks should suffice to construct the frame.
One should then be able to ignite the salts in the brazier to get the desired effect.
Fire of Eternal Light
This was one of the earliest fires to invent; by burning a stack of 300 Te Salt, 100 Efh Salt and 50 Urt Salt, I produced a flame that lit up my entire cave.
Its light shone more brightly than any torch or lantern I have seen, and as far as I can tell it shows no sign of ever burning out.
Fire of Nourishment
Although we are surrounded by trees related to the pine family, and there are a few pale flowers, little else seems to grow here. I originally believed this was due to the cold, and I invented the Fire of Nourishment to counteract it.
The fire requires 50 Te Salt, 100 Efh Salt and 150 Urt Salt.
Unfortunately, I later found that the soil around Weiss is barren and unsuitable for crops. Mother called my work a complete waste of time - he cannot grasp that this knowledge may be useful in future, even if he can't use it right now.
He is such a limited ruler!
Fire of Unseasonal Warmth
Living in the cold mountains, I naturally turned my attention to the matter of keeping warm, and succeeded beyond all expectations!
By burning a stack of 100 Te Salt, 50 Efh Salt and 300 Urt Salt, I produced a flame that completely dispelled the chill of the weather.
In some parts of the mountains, the cold is so intense that one loses all one's abilities. I feel sure that my Fire of Unseasonal Warmth will render one completely immune to this problem.
Fire of Dehumidification
I stumbled upon this one by accident. A stack of 50 Te Salt, 300 Efh Salt and 100 Urt Salt burnt with a strange heat that dried out my cave - obviously fire should do that, but this one did it much faster than normal. I imagine that if one were to light this fire in a damp environment, it would provide protection from rotting effects and decay.
Maybe if I live long enough, I will find a way to travel the world and find such a place.
Fire of Domination
Mother was very pleased when I presented him the recipe for this fire. It gave him simply incredible powers in combat, rendering him almost immune to any damage!
I also noticed that it disrupted my experiments with the Glowing Basalt teleporters; this would be helpful for Mother if he wished to prevent a mage from fleeing via their teleport magicks.
The combination for this fire was extremely hard to get right, but I eventually-
Odd Mushroom's notes were damaged, and I cannot find the rest of the recipe. I fear it is lost forever. - Snowflake
Glowing Basalt
The basalt rocks beneath Weiss have been altered by the power of the salts, probably over millenia. This means I can modify them further by treating them with carefully calibrated combinations of salts, achieving effects that - frankly - look indistinguishable from magic.
With the correct combination of salts, the basalt can be made to transport matter - rocks, logs, even living creatures like goats - from place to place.
Perhaps it truly is magic - it certainly acts like the teleport spells of which I have heard!
My pupil, Snowflake, has helped me greatly with these experiments. She is far more intelligent than her father, Mother. Perhaps she inherited her brains from her mother, not from Mother.
In fact Snowflake did most of the work on refining the destinations of our matter transpowerers. Maybe she's cleverer than me... but I won't tell her that yet.
There'll be plenty more time for us to chat - I'm not old enough to fear death yet.
Anyway, Snowflake worked out that 3 Efh Salt and 1 Te Salt can make a matter transporter focused on the woods outside Weiss where she used to play, as a child.
Maybe she will invent more combinations for other destinations soon.
From what my darling My Arm has told me of his homeland, a dose of 3 Urt Salt and 1 Te Salt should direct the focus to the Troll Stronghold. - Snowflake
I saw Odd Mushroom invent many other fires, but I cannot find any more of his notes.
Perhaps Father destroyed them, not understanding their value. Or perhaps they are merely lost, and will be found again.
I shall continue to search when I can, or perhaps I will rediscover the secrets myself! If I do, I shall prepare an updated edition of this book for my friend <player name>.

Russian-American at Trump Jr. meeting is ex-military officer
WASHINGTON - The Russian-American lobbyist who attended a meeting at Trump Tower last year is a former military officer who has attracted congressional scrutiny over his political activities and has been shadowed by allegations of connections to Russian intelligence that he denies.
Rinat Akhmetshin confirmed his participation in the meeting to The Associated Press on Friday, providing new details of a June 2016 sit-down that included a Russian lawyer and President Donald Trump's oldest son, son-in-law and campaign chairman.
His attendance at the meeting and his lobbying background created a new wrinkle to a story that has hounded the White House for days and added to questions about potential coordination between Russia and the Trump campaign.
Akhmetshin is well-known in Washington for his advocacy efforts. He's been outspoken in recent years about a U.S. law levying sanctions on Russians and has worked to undermine the public narrative used to justify the bill. And his name has also surfaced in multiple American lawsuits, including one involving the hacking of a company's computer systems.
In an interview, Akhmetshin denied suggestions made in media reports, congressional letters and litigation that he is a former officer in Russia's military intelligence service known as the GRU, dismissing the allegations as a "smear campaign."
He told the AP that he served in the Soviet Army from 1986 to 1988 after he was drafted but was not trained in spy tradecraft. He said his unit operated in the Baltics and was "loosely part of counterintelligence."
Akhmetshin, a naturalized American citizen who has lived in Washington since the early 1990s, and Natalia Veselnitskaya are known for lobbying efforts involving the Magnitsky Act, a brace of economic sanctions targeting Russian officials and individuals
The act passed by Congress was named for Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who died in a Russian prison in 2009 after accusing Russian government officials and takeover raiders of a $230 million tax fraud scheme in the seizure of an investment firm.
The original Magnitsky Act leveled U.S. financial sanctions on 18 Russian officials and individuals suspected of complicity in Magnitsky's prosecution, imprisonment and death.
A Global Magnitsky Act that passed in December 2016 gives the president power to impose visa bans and freeze U.S. assets of anyone who suppresses basic human rights or targets whistleblowers exposing corruption.
Akhmetshin's name has also surfaced in lawsuits, including a New York court case in which a mining company branded him a "former Soviet military counterintelligence officer" and accused him of involvement in the hacking of its computer systems. Those claims were withdrawn last year, court records show.
In a separate case, he described his business as "strategic communications" with clients including national governments and high-ranking officials of those governments. Disclosure of his communications, he said, could put lives at risk.
Akhmetshin said he has not been contacted by the special counsel's office or the FBI about the meeting with Trump Jr. He said he's willing to talk with the Senate Judiciary Committee, whose chairman has pressed the Justice Department about why Akhmetshin has not registered as a foreign agent.
Akhmetshin said the Justice Department prodded him several months ago to register as a foreign agent because of his lobbying work, though he said he doesn't believe he needs to do so. He has previously registered with Congress for the lobbying.
"I think I have a legal right to tell my story," he said.

What do Mennonites believe?
Mennonites are Christians. We believe that every person is a sinner who deserves eternal death. But God graciously sent his perfect son Jesus to die instead of us. Jesus' death removes our sin and allows us to come before our holy God.
Some distinguishing characteristics in regards to other denominations* are:
- Nonresistance/Pacifism
- Separation of Church and State
- Living Simply/Stewardship
- Discipleship Emphasis (obeying the Bible)
- Service (esp. relief work)
- Community
- Believer's Baptism (vs. infant baptism)
- Salvation by Faith (vs. sacraments)
- Priesthood of the Believers (vs. papal authority)
- Footwashing Ceremonies
- Excommunication/Accountability
Resource: 1963 Mennonite Confession of Faith.
What is the history of Mennonites?
For centuries, the church was largely under the authority of the Catholic pope. However, in 1517 when Martin Luther posted his 95 theses criticizing the Catholic church, the Protestant Reformation was born.
Anabaptists felt like the Protestant Reformation didn't go far enough (sometimes calling themselves the "Third Way"). This third, smaller group started when Conrad Grebel, Felix Manz, and Wilhelm Reublin illegally baptized each other one night.
Anabaptists were fragmented because of intense persecution. Menno Simons was a leader of some of these Anabaptist groups that became known as the Mennonites. Other Anabaptist groups include the Hutterites, Brethren, Dunkards, Amish and Beachy Amish.
What is the difference between Amish and Mennonite?
In the late 1600s, Jacob Amman and his followers left the Mennonites and started the Amish because they did not feel that Mennonites were severe enough when they excommunicated a church member. While at that time their dress and mode of travel were not all that different, the Amish emphasized nonconformity as more technology was developed.
How do Mennonites live?
I would argue that one is a Mennonite based on his theology –not his lifestyle, but, for better or worse, Mennonites have developed a sense of culture. We like to joke about our affinity for farms, thriftiness, big families, four-part a cappella singing, hymn #606, Dutch Blitz, Rook, the "Mennonite Game" (finding out how you're related to someone), Pennsylvania Dutch accents, shoefly pie, quilts, and whoopee pies.
Perhaps the story which has been retold so much it's become a part of our identity is of Dirk Willems an early Anabaptist in the 1500s who had been put in prison because he was rebaptized as an adult and had hosted adult baptisms in his home. He escaped by running across an icy pond. When his pursuer fell in, Dirk went back and rescued him instead of running away. In going back, Dirk was recaptured, tortured and burned at the stake.
*Denominations are Protestant groups who unite over similar beliefs. For example, Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians/Anglicans, and Presbyterians are various denominations.

Honeyguides: Indicatoridae
Lyre-tailed Honeyguide (melichneutes Robustus): Species Accounts
Physical characteristics: Dull-colored lyre-tailed honeyguides have a long, lyre-shaped tail (U-shaped), and two middle pairs of retrices (RET-rihs-uhs) paired flight feathers of the tail, which extend from the tail edges) that are curved outward at distal ends (away from the point of attachment), while the outermost retrices are narrow and short. The birds also have a white undersurface about the tail (which is shown while in flight), olive-green upperparts, and whitish under parts. Males and females look different with respect to their plumage (unlike most honeyguides whose sexes look alike). Females show some gray streaks on the rear underbelly, and their tail is not as large as the male, but has the same shape. Adults are about 6 inches (17 centimeters) long and weigh between 1.7 and 2.2 ounces (47.0 and 61.5 grams).
Geographic range: They are found in two primary locations in western Africa: one location that includes Liberia, Sierra Leone, and the Ivory Coast, and the other location that includes a larger area around Cameroon.
Habitat: Lyre-tailed honeyguides are located in lowland tropical rainforests, primary forests and their edges, secondary forests, and plantations.
Diet: They eat beeswax, bee larvae, termites, insects, spiders, and fig fruits.
Behavior and reproduction: Lyre-tailed honeyguides are not believed to migrate. The mating display of lyre-tailed honeyguides is very interesting. Males fly around while singing several "pee-pee" notes, which go into "ve-bek, ve-vek." They then go into a rapid and steep dive with their tail feathers spread out. These feathers brush against the wind to make a "kwa-ba kwa-ba" series of sounds. Males may also fly up and down in spiral movements.
Lyre-tailed honeyguides and people: There is no known significant relationship between people and lyre-tailed honeyguides.
Conservation status: Lyre-tailed honeyguides are not currently threatened. ∎

Why employers should destroy interview notes
Did you know that a potential candidate can use GDPR to gain access to their interview...read more
Seventy per cent of working mums do not think small employers should be exempt from maternity legislation, according to a Workingmums.co.uk poll.
However, the poll of almost 200 women found that a quarter felt they should be with five per cent undecided.
The poll comes after recent debate about whether the raising of maternity leave to 12 months has made things harder for women in the current economic climate and made smaller employers less likely to employ them.
One woman said the Government should cover all the costs and that would get around the problem of prejudice against women. Although employers can currently claim back most of the cost of maternity pay, it can take time for them to be reimbursed, time which can cause problems in companies which are living hand to mouth.
Another working mum said the Government should increase the length of time someone works for a small employer to two or three years before they qualify for maternity leave.
But others felt women were entitled to maternity leave wherever they worked. One said small employers needed to be more progressive because "the future is working mums".

Do you have the patience to wait til your mud has settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving until the right action arises by itself? - Lao Tzu
Slow and steady wins the race. Or does it? In this dot com era, it seems the hare triumphs. We learn that patience is a virtue. But why? What is the purpose of walking like a tortoise while the hares dart by us? Is this "patience is a virtue" statement a way for those in power to keep us down? What's going on here?
When we're being impatient, we're slamming around, throwing our weight this way and that, but we're not going anywhere. And we're getting increasingly frustrated. We lash out at ourselves and those around us. We ignore people, pets and tasks important to us. This frustration hurts us and our relationships. There's a small possibility that we'll get lucky and slam through to the finish line unexpectedly. But even that will have unwelcome side effects as we live in a constant state of reaction.
Lao Tzu likens patience to letting the mud settle and the water become clear. As we wait, we watch our mud. Eventually, we see it spinning in turmoil. We realize … this is not the time to make a decision, to take action. We must watch for longer. In time, the mud settles. There is clarity. Organically, right action becomes apparent. Then we can proceed with confidence, without second-guessing. Our passion has a clear path now and all we need to do is follow it, welcome it.
We can think of the ways we act when we're slamming around, frustrated, lashing out and ignoring. What suffering that causes in us and those around us! Practicing patience allows us to maintain our relationships to our friends, family, work, coworkers, pets and even strangers. Yoga reminds us to take a breath, become present, focus and stay steady. It's not a race. It's a practice. Everything's a practice.

Arthroscopic Bankart/Capsular Shift Reconstruction, SLAP Repair or Electrothermal-Assisted Capsulorrhaphy
Your operation was performed by arthroscopic methods. The interior of your shoulder joint was visualized using a small telescope, and the diagnosis was made. Appropriate surgery involving the removal or repair of damaged, torn, degenerative or abnormal tissue was performed using special micro-instruments. The ligaments and capsule in the front, and/or back, of your shoulder were tightened, or reconstructed, using a variety of techniques. These techniques employ the use of small anchors and suture to reattach cartilage and ligaments to bone, and to tighten the loose capsular tissue. Alternatively, the loose capsule may have been tightened, or shrunk, with an electrothermal device which heats the tissue causing it to contract. If you had a SLAP lesion involving the cartilage labrum, it was also repaired using anchors and suture to reattach it to bone.
Upon discharge, you will be given a prescription for pain medication that can be filled at either the hospital or a local pharmacy. The pain medication can be taken every 3 to 4 hours as needed. The medicine will help decrease the level of pain, but it is not meant to completely eliminate the pain. Some pain is expected. If you develop itching, skin rash, nausea or vomiting, please discontinue the medicine and call the office. Additionally, narcotics can cause constipation if used for an extended period of time. If this occurs, you should decrease the use of the prescribed medicine, and increase fluid, roughage and fruit intake in your diet. Please do not use Aspirin unless you have OK'd it with your surgeon.
The use of ice decreases both swelling and pain. You may apply ice over the shoulder dressing for two to five days after surgery unless otherwise instructed. If you were given a Cryocuff, please wear it for at least 4 or 5 days. You may then replace it with the shoulder sling that was sent home with you.
Your surgery was performed arthroscopically, and therefore you may notice pink fluid soaking your dressing for the first several hours after surgery. This is not unusual and should stop soon after you get home. Your incisions have been closed with suture or skin tape, covered with gauze pads and held in place with tape or a compressive wrap. Please remove the dressing in 24 hours, but leave the suture or skin tape intact—the skin tape will fall off on its own in 7-10 days. You may cover the incision sites with Bandaids and reapply the compressive wrap to aid in swelling reduction. Please note, if there is a lot of water on the bandage, you may change your dressing at home tonight.
The small incisions may be sore and you may develop bruising in the area of the surgery as well as down your arm and your chest over the next several days. This will go away, and no special care is needed.
It is safe to shower or bathe 72 hours after surgery. You may wash the incisions with regular soap and water, dry them, and cover them with new Bandaids. Try not to remove the skin tapes. You should not soak your shoulder under water for at least one week, and should avoid hot tubs or pools for two weeks.
You should rest, relax and make arrangements to have someone stay with you for at least 24 hours after discharge. Do not drive any vehicle or operate mechanical equipment for 24 hours following your surgery. Even though you feel normal, your reaction time may be affected by the medication you have received. Your arm was placed in a sling, or Cryocuff, in the operating room. It is recommended that you use the sling nearly full-time for the first month following surgery, unless otherwise instructed. You may carefully remove the sling to work on elbow, wrist and hand exercises, as well as for bathing or showering. You may use your arm for table-top activities as soon as you are comfortable (usually 1-2 days). You should not attempt to reach overhead, behind your back, or to your side. Also, you should not push or pull yourself up with your operative arm, or lift objects greater than 1-2 lbs. Please use pain as your guide in returning to work and school. Please note that formal physical therapy is usually delayed for 2-4 weeks following surgery. If more extensive surgery was undertaken, special instructions will be provided.
Drink clear liquids (apple juice, ginger ale, broth, 7-Up, etc.). Progress to your regular diet as you feel able. Do not drink alcoholic beverages for at least 24 hours following your surgery.
If you develop a fever (temperature over 101°), unexpected or severe pain, redness, or swelling, please contact the office for consultation or examination. A low-grade fever is common after surgery. If your temperature is elevated, drink plenty of fluids and try regular Tylenol.
A post-operative visit with your surgeon or nurse will be made approximately 7-10 days following surgery to check your wounds and discuss your case. Formal physical therapy is usually delayed for 2-4 weeks to allow initial tissue healing. Probably the most important thing to remember about your shoulder surgery is that the post-operative rehabilitation is as important as the surgery itself. Your surgeon and therapists will monitor your rehab program closely, and if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to discuss the situation with either of them.
Emergency Calls:
If you have a problem of an emergency nature and are unable to reach your doctor, go to the Altru Hospital Emergency Room (phone: 701-780-5280); or your nearest hospital or emergency facility.
Contact Your Physician (Or His Alternate) If You Have Any Problems:
- Fever greater than 101 degrees orally or if at all questionable.
- Chills
- Excessive bleeding
- Separation of the incision
- Excessive swelling or tenderness
- Unusual drainage: pus-like drainage (white, yellow, or greenish in color); any excessive drainage
from the area; foul odor from the incision or dressing.
- Change in color around the area; excessive redness may indicate infection
- Change in temperature around the area: unusual warmth
- Increased pain in operative area

China Clamps Down With 'Grid Management' To Monitor CitizensPosted By: Patrick Wood April 4, 2016China has long led the race to build infrastructure that enables the implementation of Technocracy, and we see this fruit today by its reversion to so-called 'grid management' of blocks of citizens. This will allow continuous and personalized surveillance of every citizen to insure their loyalty to the government, and their compliance with all the myriad rules created by unelected and unaccountable Technocrats.In the teeming city of Guangzhou, 12,000 grid administrators are being hired where each will have monitoring responsibility for 200 families. Within six months, each administrator will be expected to know all pertinent details on the individuals within those families. Monitoring technology, such as cameras and facial identification, the Internet of Things, eavesdropping, etc., will enable such detailed knowledge.But surveillance capabilities don't end there.Last year it was revealed that China was setting up a massive "social credit" scoring system where citizens will be assigned a score between 350 and 950 that reflects their ideological subservience to the government. In other words, dissidents will be duly accounted for and then shunned and shamed into compliance. Those who refuse to comply will be on the government's short-list for removal from society.Only two companies are responsible for creating and running this social credit mechanism: Alibaba and Tencent, which run all of the social networks in China. According to an investigation by the ACLU,

Medical Library Services Program Funds Available
Do you have interlibrary loan requests that are filled by Upstate Medical Center and other National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) resource libraries? If yes, the Medical Information Services Program (MISP) is for you! MISP provides a pool of funds made available by the New York State Library and administered through SCRLC and the other Empire State Library Network Councils. MISP funds can help you pay for such requests.
The MISP program:
All types of libraries and library systems are eligible to use funding. MISP priorities include medical, clinical and consumer health information for libraries in not-for-profit institutions that deal with direct patient care, are active participants in regional resource sharing, and that receive adequate library support from their parent institution or funding body.
"How do I actually use or request MISP funds?" you may wonder.
Occasional Requests: If you have an occasional request that ends up at one of the resource libraries, send the invoice to SCRLC for payment. You can FAX (607-272-0740), send by mail, or scan. If scanning, email it to Danna Harris at email@example.com.
Frequent Requests: If you have several requests a year being filled by the NN/LM resource libraries, you can set up an Electronic Funds Transfer Service (EFTS) account with the University of Connecticut, which is the administrator for the Middle Atlantic Region (MAR) of the NN/LM, which includes New York State. Setting up an EFTS account is straightforward, and the folks at UConn are always there to help. Here is a link to the page: https://efts.uchc.edu/Common/index.aspx. On that page you will find "helpful links" (bottom left); click on "forms." You will need to complete the application and a memorandum of agreement. If you do set up an account, please let Danna know. She will need your LIBID in order to deposit money into your account. If you also provide her with your password, she can monitor your account and replenish funding if you are running low.
NN/LM MAR Resource Libraries: Visit https://nnlm.gov/mar/members/directory for a list.
Resource Libraries in other NN/LM Regions: MISP funds can be used to pay for medical/health requests even if they are out-of-state as long as it is an NN/LM resource library. Requests ending up at the National Library of Medicine are also eligible for MISP. Here is a list of other NN/LM regions: http://nnlm.gov/ Click on the map to locate resource libraries outside of MAR.

CENTENNIAL — The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. The Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory. The Boston Naming Test.
The doctors who evaluated whether James Holmes was sane at the time of the Aurora theater shooting put him through a virtual road trip of psychological testing — more than 20 different exams designed to measure everything from intellect to his level of depression to whether he was trying to fake a mental illness.
Those tests took their turn in the spotlight Wednesday at the theater shooting trial, when the defense called to the witness stand the first of three psychologists who administered the exams. Rose Manguso, a psychologist at the Colorado Mental Health Institute in Pueblo, said she believed after conducting roughly six hours of testing that Holmes was smart, likely suffering from a mental illness and probably not feigning his symptoms.
"Even intelligent people can become mentally ill," Manguso said.
LIVE BLOG: Live updates from The Denver Post staff and others inside the courtroom
Wednesday was a day of incremental progress in the trial, and Manguso was one of only two witnesses to testify before jurors. Her exam of Holmes took place in August 2013 — more than a year after the attack in which Holmes killed 12 people and wounded 70 more.
Some of the often colorfully named tests measured how well Holmes could remember certain patterns or solve problems. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, for instance, required him to correctly match a set of cards with minimal input on how, exactly, they are supposed to be matched. Manguso said Holmes generally scored near average for young men with graduate-level educations. On only a few tests did he dip below the mean.
"These are subtle impairments in his neuropsychological status," she said.
The purpose of her testing was not to answer directly the big question looming before jurors about Holmes' sanity at the time of the shooting in July 2012. Instead, she said her tests measured his mental function at the time they were administered. In an interview with Holmes, she and another psychologist intentionally avoided asking questions about the shooting.
But Manguso's tests were important because they went into the broader sanity exam performed by Dr. Jeffrey Metzner, a court-appointed psychiatrist who examined Holmes after he pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Metzner concluded Holmes was legally sane at the time of the attack but also seriously mentally ill.
A second court-appointed psychologist at the Colorado Mental Health Institute and a psychologist hired by the defense to conduct similar testing are expected to testify in the coming days of trial. Prosecutors, who are seeking the death penalty in the case, also hired a psychologist whom they could call next week during the rebuttal phase of trial.
But, as the trial delves deeper into the mind of the defendant, the day ended Wednesday with an inscrutable moment from the morning of July 20, 2012. Roughly five hours after the attack, Holmes sat alone at a table in a police interrogation room, the scene captured on surveillance video played for jurors Wednesday.
Jurors watched as he played with a cup and plastic water bottle. They watched as he rhythmically crinkled the paper bags taped over his hands to preserve gunshot residue.
A police officer walked in and began taking standard booking information — name, address, phone number, date of birth.
"Who do you want to list as an emergency contact?" the officer asked.
"Uh," Holmes stammered, "my former psychiatrist?"

This is because an HDD works by using spinning disks, which can rotate only so fast and the more data is read and written, the sluggish and hotter they become, while an SDD employs modules of flash memory, hence there aren't any physically moving components. The access speeds for an SSD are considerably higher, which makes this sort of drives a preferred solution any time speed is needed. This is the reason why SSDs are frequently used for the Operating System on a laptop or computer and for saving data that is accessed often on web servers. A lot of service providers also use a combination of both drives, so they store the data on HDDs, but they use one or more SSDs so as to cache the more frequently used data and for that reason, the data loads a lot quicker while the load on the HDDs is lowered since their disks need to spin less frequently in order to read and write.

The last couple weeks have been very chill. We went to see the doctor 3 weeks ago and at that appointment she was a little worried about Miss Sophie because she was under weight for her age. I was devastated because I automatically thought it was something I had been doing wrong... but the doctor reassured me that I had nothing to do with it, and that she believed it had something to do with my high blood pressure (after all, I had gained 7 pounds in one month, surely I was eating enough lol)... so she put me on bp medicine and told me I needed to stay off my feet and was not allowed to work for 4 weeks. She also scheduled me for a two week checkup appointment. So for two weeks straight, I took it very easy, tried my best not to stress about Sophie, and made sure to keep up with the new medication.
Two VERY LONG weeks went by and we had our checkup appointment which was last Thursday. THANK GOD, Sophie put on some weight and appears to be growing at a normal rate. Who knew blood pressure could cause such a problem! and it seems my blood pressure is a little more under control now. But, she is still a little worried about my BP and my cervix has shortened a lot in such a short period, so she wants me off work until March! UGH. Whatever it takes to keep me and Sophie healthy, I'll gladly do! So needless to say, I've been doing a lot of reading (If anyone has any good book suggestions, PLEASE send them my way) and cooking and trying to get out of the house as much as possible, without putting too much stress on my body. I'm hoping my next appointment in two weeks will have even better results and maybe my bp and cervix will be back to normal!
We've done so much work to the nursery in the past couple of weeks, it is looking FANTASTIC! We still have a couple more things to do and I need to add a couple of touches here and there and then I think we'll be almost done. It is such a great feeling to have so much accomplished so soon. Sophie definitely has the best room in the house! I will be posting pictures of her room soon.
Here are a couple of belly pictures for you guys:
As you can see the belly is definitely growing! I'll be back tomorrow with a 29 week pregnancy update! Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers that my blood pressure levels out and Sophie Belle continues to grow like she should. Any prayers would be so greatly appreciated!
Until tomorrow,

England win T20 against Oz by one wicket
Adelaide: Chris Woakes hit the winning run from the final ball to give England a one-wicket win over Australia in the first Twenty20 cricket international at the Adelaide Oval on Wednesday.
Woakes scored 19 from 15 balls to guide the critical last stage of England's run chase as it replied with 158-9 to Australia's total of 157-4. The win gave England a 1-0 lead in the two-match series, the second of which is at Melbourne on Friday.
Australia allrounder Shane Watson almost single—handedly steered his side to victory, scoring 59 from 31 balls {hbox}" the highest score of the match and taking 4-15 to hamper England's chase.
Eoin Morgan topscored for England with 43 and Woakes showed composure beyond his years to steer his team home as it chased four runs from the last over.
England seemed headed for a comfortable win as it reached 50 inside five overs in front of 32,000 fans, and on a ground on which it achieved one of its three wins in the recent five—test Ashes series.
But Watson, already Australia's batting hero, almost turned the match when he struck with successive balls to remove the dangerman Morgan and Michael Yardy, prompting England's slump from 130-5 to 130-7 inside the 16th over.
Watson also dismissed Tim Bresnan, who hit 11 from 11 balls, to deny England another of the strokemakers who might have made the late stages of the run chase more comfortable.
England finally came to the last two overs needing 15 runs to win and with only two wickets in hand. Woakes and Graeme Swann combined to take 11 runs from the 19th over, bowled by Brett Lee, and to leave England needing four from the last six balls with two wickets in hand.
The last over fell to Watson and he immediately ramped up the tension on both sides when he dismissed Swann for 6 with the first ball. The action left England's final pair at the crease, the redoubtable Woakes at the non-striker's end and the last man in, Ajmal Shahzad.
Shahzad struggled for three deliveries to work the single that gave Woakes the strike and the chance to decide the match. Unfazed by the drama around him, Woakes worked the penultimate ball for two to tie the scores then crashed the final ball through wide mid-on for the winning run.
Earlier, Watson made the largest contribution in Australia's bid to set England an unreachable target. He hit six fours and three sixes in his 31—ball innings of 59, taking 26 runs from a single over of Swann's offspin.
He put on 83 for the first wicket in 8.4 overs with David Warner, who made 30 from 28 balls with five fours. The openers seemed to have set up Australia for a formidable score but it failed to capitalize on that start.
Tight bowling by Yardy, Shahzad and Bresnan saw the home side fall well short of a defensible score.
Yardy dismissed both openers and finished with 2-28 while Bresnan removed David Hussey for 28.

BERKELEY — Charging at least two librarians with insubordination, the Berkeley Public Library hired a law firm at $350 an hour to investigate, a price tag union activists called "a complete waste of money."
Library officials cited confidentiality in declining to comment on specific charges, but defended the expense of hiring an outside firm, saying it ensures an evenhanded investigation.
The controversy dates back to early 2015 when newly appointed Library Director Jeff Scott revised the system's collection development practices. Formerly, some three dozen librarians selected new materials and discarded those no longer useful. Scott changed the policy to a centralized system where just a few librarians select and decommission materials.
The policy provoked an outcry from librarians shut out from what they said was a critical aspect of their job. Librarians, retired librarians and community supporters demonstrated and mounted petition drives, eventually forcing Scott's resignation at the end of August 2015.
Despite Scott's exit, the practice of centralized collection development continues with full support of the library board. And librarians continue to voice opposition, though those under investigation are bound by a gag order not to speak about it.
Last month the library union presented the board with a letter of "no confidence" in the manager charged with overseeing collections development.
"(V)ery few librarians who actively serve the public are able to participate in the collection development process," stated the letter by Nathan Dahl, chapter president of Community Services Unit SEIU 1021.
The letter also alleges management retaliation against workers who have spoken out and contends the retaliation had "a chilling, intimidating effect on other workers."
Board of Library Trustees President Julie Holcomb noted, however, in an email that the board received letters from union members supporting the collections development manager.
In March, the firm Meyers Nave Riback Silver & Wilson was hired to investigate at least two librarians for insubordination relating to their use of personal library cards to temporarily remove books from circulation, Dahl said. In a separate case, another librarian charged with insubordination was recently fired.
Dahl explained that the library generally discards books not checked out for three years. Books to be weeded are placed on carts and reviewed by staff.
"When a book is deemed worthy to be saved, library staff would check those books out using department issued or personal library cards," he said. "The books would then be checked right back in and henceforth saved from the weeding list for another three years."
This practice has gone on with full support from supervisors, Dahl said, adding, "Perhaps the new collections development manager was not familiar with this method and when she found out about it, attributed the method to some kind of deceitful scheme to subvert the weeding process."
If the manager thought something was amiss, "there should have been a reprimand," said SEIU shop steward Lisa Hesselgesser. "There was all of a sudden just a letter saying this high-powered law firm wants to investigate you."
Interim Library Director Beth Pollard defended expenditures for an outside agency investigation, rather than using the system's human resources staff. "After much thought, it was determined that an outside investigator, having no prior knowledge of any of the library's employees (both management and line staff) would have the time to do a full and thorough investigation," Pollard said in an email.
Holcomb said she was surprised to hear objections to the contract. "Certainly if this matter had been investigated internally, there would be calls for an outside investigation, such as is already being undertaken," she said. "In that case, I doubt that anyone would take issue with the cost involved."

The Millennium Challenge Corporation becomes a political battleground, Ebola strikes again, and the United Nations chief warns of financial trouble. This week in development.
The United States government has weighed in on a U.S. Supreme Court case that pits farmers and fishermen from Gujarat, India, against the International Finance Corporation, the private sector arm of the World Bank Group. These communities are suing the IFC for its support of the Tata Mundra Power Plant, which they say has contaminated groundwater, killed marine life, and ejected coal ash into the air. The IFC's ombudsman, responsible for investigating alleged harm from projects, also criticized the institution's oversight of the project and its efforts to mitigate social and environmental damage. The IFC is not contesting that the damage occurred, but is arguing that U.S. law makes the international organization immune from liability. The central battle in this case relates to how far that immunity extends — and a question about what counts as "commercial activity." The court's decision could have wide-ranging implications for other international organizations. On Tuesday the U.S. government weighed in with a brief that challenges the claim of "absolute immunity," a position welcomed by the plaintiffs from Gujarat.
The Millennium Challenge Corporation has seen development professionals replaced with Trump administration loyalists, according to an investigation by the Washington Post. The Trump White House has taken charge of a larger number of appointments to the small development agency than in past administrations, filling its ranks with political appointees with connections to the Trump campaign and Republican party, according to the report. The administration's use of a special hiring authority — which was created to help MCC's CEO appoint technical experts — has raised concerns about the politicization of an agency typically regarded as technocratic and bipartisan. "Congress gave MCC special hiring authority so that it could operate with efficiency and effectiveness, not so that it could become a dumping ground for unqualified partisan loyalists and lackeys," Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey told the Post.
The Ebola virus has struck the Democratic Republic of Congo again, just a week after the country declared an end to its previous outbreak. At least 20 people have died in North Kivu province, while 26 suspected cases have been referred to the Ministry of Health. While health leaders celebrated the successful containment and suppression of Ebola in the northwest portion of the country, they warned that fighting the new outbreak posed additional challenges. "This cluster of Ebola cases is occurring in an environment which is very different from where we were operating in the northwest of DRC. It is an active conflict zone. The major barrier will be safely accessing the affected population," Peter Salama, deputy director-general of emergency preparedness and response at the World Health Organization, wrote on Twitter.
The deadly collapse of a hydropower dam in Laos has raised questions about how to ensure developers follow safety protocols throughout the lifespan of a project, from construction to operation. "The tragic events in Laos indicate a risk that systems developed for individual dam projects may be either inadequate to respond to an emergency situation like this one, or are not being properly implemented," Maureen Harris, Southeast Asia program director for International Rivers, told Devex. The collapse and flooding has forced thousands from their homes and killed at least 27 people — with many more still missing. It has also prompted renewed concerns about the fast pace of hydropower development in Southeast Asia. "There needs to be a broader assessment of less destructive alternatives to large hydropower projects for energy and revenue generation and serious consideration given to alternatives in energy and development planning," Harris said.
United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres is warning that member countries' record-low annual contributions to the U.N. will have implications for the international body's operations. "Our cash flow has never been this low so early in the calendar year, and the broader trend is also concerning: We are running out of cash sooner and staying in the red longer," Guterres wrote in a July 25 letter seen by Devex. The U.N. chief said that he will focus on reducing "non-staff costs," while working with member states to shore up the U.N.'s financial health.

This past weekend, hackers compromised a popular accessibility plugin called Browsealoud in order to turn users into unwitting cryptocurrency miners. It was a bold scheme, and even affected a number of US and UK government sites, but not a particularly successful one — it was stopped swiftly, and the total take, according to Coinhive, the service for mining cryptocurrency in a web browser that the hackers used, was the equivalent of just $24.
Using website visitors' spare processing power to mine cryptocurrency isn't only of interest to hackers. Online advertising revenue at many websites is dwindling, especially in the era of ad blockers, so even legitimate publishers have started to experiment with mining as a revenue stream.
Take Salon, an online magazine that has struggled to maintain relevance — and, in lieu of readership, income — during recent years. Yesterday, Salon readers noticed an unfamiliar message offering them the opportunity to block ads in exchange for letting the site "use your unused computing power." A FAQ on the site explains that the spare processing juice would be used to mine cryptocurrency, though it does so in strikingly roundabout language: "For our beta program, we'll start by applying your processing power to help support the evolution and growth of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies."
It turns out that Salon is also using Coinhive, the same service as the hackers, which has grown so widespread that security company Malwarebytes reported last year that it had become one of the main services its anti-malware software blocks. Coinhive didn't reply to a request for comment.
Though Salon's mining program is opt-in, unlike the hackers', mining cryptocurrency will likely result in a less pleasant browsing experience. Salon's own FAQ admits that the processing-hungry service is likely to fire up a computer's fans to dissipate extra heat, like a demanding video game. According to Malwarebytes, it's even possible that the software will damage older hardware.
For the most part, using browsers to mine cryptocurrency has remained the purview of criminals, scammers and other grey-market players. Last year, the popular torrent site Pirate Bay also started using Coinhive to earn extra income, and Showtime was caught doing the same thing with its site in September.
When Reddit banned Deepfakes, a forum where people were using deep learning software to insert the likenesses of celebrities into pornographic films, the Deepfakes community fractured and spread across the internet. One place where it landed was Deepfakes.cc, a new message board where people could post the doctored clips — but it soon emerged that the site was covertly using Coinhive to monetize the influx of traffic.
Update 02/14/2018 9:08AM: Kaspersky Lab security researchers released a statement Tuesday evening stating that a vulnerability in the desktop version of secure messaging app Telegram allows for tacit cryptomining, and has been exploited since March 2017 to mine currencies including Monero (the same one that Coinhive mines).

Patrick Fiori
Patrick Fiori (23 September 1969-) is a French singer.
Fiori was born to an Armenian father (Jacques Chouchayan) and a Corsican mother (Marie Antoinette Fiori) in Marseille, France. When he was only 12 years old, he was offered his first role in the musical La légende des santonniers. At the age of 16, he recorded his first single, entitled Stéphanie. In 1993, Patrick came fourth place in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Mama Corsica. The following year, his first album was released, entitled Puisque c'est l'heure. However, it wasn't until 1997 that Patrick's career really began to take off. His successful audition for the incredible musical Notre Dame de Paris enabled him to take on the role of the Captain, 'Phoebus'. The following year, Patrick signed a contract with Sony and recorded his 3rd album Prends Moi (Take me). Patrick finally decided to end his role in Notre Dame de Paris in the year 2000 in order to dedicate more time to his fourth album, Chrysalide. Two years after, his fifth album was released and most recently, the album Si on chantait plus fort in 2005.His 2009 new album is here. "LES CHOSES DE LA VIE".

Hector Harold Brown (December 11, 1924 – December 17, 2015), nicknamed "Skinny", was a pitcher in Major League Baseball who played from 1951 through 1964 for the Chicago White Sox, Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Orioles, New York Yankees, and Houston Colt .45s. He batted and threw right-handed; nicknamed by his parents because he was a chubby child, Brown weighed 180 pounds (82 kg) and stood 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 m) tall during his active career.
A knuckleballer with an outstanding control, Brown pitched both as a starter and a reliever. He reached the Majors in 1951 when the White Sox purchased his contract from the Triple-A Seattle Rainiers. He spent two years with them before moving to the Red Sox, the team that had originally signed him to a pro contract in 1946. Brown enjoyed a good season with Boston in 1953, going 11–6 in 25 starts. He joined the Baltimore Orioles in 1955 midseason, winning 34 games for them from 1956 to 1959. His most productive season came in 1960, when he had a 12–5 mark with a career-low 3.06 ERA. The next year he ended 10–6 and 3.19, pitching 36 shutout innings to set a team record.
Brown pitched briefly for the Yankees in 1962, then was purchased by the Colt .45s at the end of the season. It was the third time that Houston general manager Paul Richards, who managed Brown in Seattle in 1950, had acquired the right-handed pitcher — he had done so in 1951 when Richards managed the White Sox and in 1955 when he was both general manager and field manager with the Orioles.
With Houston in 1963, Brown was a victim of poor run support, as he walked just eight batters in 141 innings and posted a 3.31 ERA, but tallied just a 5–11 record. In 1964, his last major league season, he finished 3–15 despite a decent 3.95 ERA.
In a 14-season major league career, Brown posted an 85–92 record with a 3.81 ERA in 358 appearances, including 211 starts, 47 complete games, 13 shutouts, 11 saves, 1,680 innings pitched, and a 1.83 strikeout-to-walk ratio (710-to-389). He collected only 14 hit by pitches and 37 wild pitches.

Presto, Change-o
How do we really know that one species evolved into another?One of the factors that drives skepticism about the process of evolution (outside of a religious conviction of humanity holding a special, divinely-ordained place in the Universe and/or that only a creator deity can be a source of ethics) is the idea that it entails one lifeform "turning into" another lifeform. This can conjure up an image of change that takes an entire population, and over time, transmogrifies them, in a coordinated fashion, into a population of entirely different lifeforms. And one of the things that can help drive that misconception is the way laypeople talk about evolution.
"How do we know that evolution is really happening?"
Now, I say this as a layperson myself - after all*, I'm a project manager, not an evolutionary biologist. And, as a layperson, I likely often make mistakes when talking or writing about Darwinian evolution. So I'm not making the case that everyone always has to get everything right. But I do think that it's somewhat important to avoid certain specific phrasings that provide fodder for critics and motivated skeptics. Sure, the process of evolution can, and inevitably will, given enough time, alter an entire species to a point where, if you could re-create an archaic example of that same species, interbreeding with the modern population would no longer be possible. (This process is termed "anagenesis.") This isn't say that the particular word choice should never be used - only that it's worth being careful with, so as not to engender confusion or needless controversy.
People taking the statements of the uninitiated as gospel, however, is something that I encounter all the time. Especially when those statements can be construed to fit in with preconceptions about the topic at hand.
* (Feel free to insert "Damnit, Jim!" here.)

I need to calculate the fire water capacity for one of my FMCG sites. What factors need to be included? Actually, our site has gone through an insurance company audit where they have highlighted that our current storage capacity for fire water is insufficient. We have a 500 GPM pump with jockey and diesel generator option.
Moreover, auditor has added Hose stream allowance and water supply in his comments.

LOS ANGELES – Broadband service provider Charter Communications on Tuesday said it has sued the recording industry to block it from getting names of its customers for alleged song-swapping on the Internet.
Charter filed the lawsuit last Friday in U.S. District Court in St. Louis after the Recording Industry Association of America issued subpoenas seeking identities of about 150 its customers.
"We consider our customer relationship to be our most important responsibility. We've exercised our legal right to protect the legitimate interests of our customers and our interests," Maggie Bellville, chief operating officer of Charter Communications told Reuters.
The RIAA last month filed suits against 261 individuals for allegedly sharing copyright music without authorization. The association, which has pledged more lawsuits in its battle against online piracy, said the latest subpoenas complied with the 1998 Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
Under the act, record companies and other copyright owners can present court orders to Internet providers to uncover names of users they suspect of distributing their material online.
"Charter's filing is only procedural in nature and directly contradicts its past statement that it would 'fully cooperate' with the DMCA information subpoenas," a spokesman for the RIAA said.
"The subpoenas we filed comply with the letter and spirit of the law and always have," he said.
"None of this changes the underlying fact that when individuals engage in copyright infringement on the Internet, they are not anonymous, and service providers must reveal who they are," he said.
Internet providers like Verizon Communications and SBC Communications have also gone to court to challenge the industry's interpretation of the law, which they say violates due-process and free-speech rights and threatens privacy.

Hello, I'm Marcile Powers. I'm an internationally showcased graphic artist and filmmaker. I have a background in marketing and design. After working in my field on independent films then for a health care company and finally a local television studio, I have decided to branch out on my own. I'm a mother of young children, which makes me interested in working with other families to make their businesses successful and capture life's little moments. Let's make it happen!
Originally born in Bradenton, FL, I have lived in Florida for most of life minus a brief period in Los Angeles. I have shown my art in various parts of Florida, San Francisco, New York City, and Rome, Italy as well as been published in numerous books and magazines.
I enjoy art, poetry, photography, and filmmaking. I have a background in marketing and campaigning. Currently, I live in St. Petersburg, FL with my family. I am the mother of two small boys, so I am interested in working on things that affect the local community that we are apart of here.
