The Mobile Challenge: Scaling The Silos
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 28, 4:15 PM
One of the ongoing challenges of online advertising has been to live up to its potential for uniquely precise micro-targeting on a big enough scale to make a real difference for advertisers. For the emerging mobile ad space, as Tom Burgess, CEO of Third Screen Media explains, the issues as well as the opportunities of scaling targeting are even more pronounced.

BT's Next Stage: Custom Creative
by Steve Smith on Feb 23, 3:16 PM
Behavioral targeting works well enough when you hit interested customers with generic ads for your brand. But how much better does it convert in-market viewers when the creative itself addresses very specific details of those users' recent online behavior? Greg Smith, CEO of EchoTarget, Inc., says his hotel and travel clients can see a 200% to 400% lift in transactions when the behavioral network sends the right destination-specific creative to targets.

MobileTargeting: Relating Interests And Behavior Over Time
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 21, 4:45 PM
In contrast to the online space -- where behavioral data is abundant, but truly meaningful customer data remains a challenge -- mobile operators and publishers have an incredible wealth of highly personalized subscriber data to start with. Their challenge, as Nick Lim, product management director of Enpocket, explains, is learning how to relate all the rich demographic, usage and other kinds of information at their disposal to transform it into real-time intelligence.

Social Behavior: Targeting Action Over Browsing
by Steve Smith on Feb 16, 2:00 PM
Advertisers continue to be shy about putting their brands into the mosh pit of user-generated media and social networking, because you never really know where (and next to what) your ad will show up. By applying behavioral targeting techniques to the unique activities of social media, a brand can segment audience more precisely and advertise to them in social settings with greater confidence, according to Andy Monfried, president/founder, Lotame.

The Emerging Nexus Of BT And Mobile Search
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 14, 3:45 PM
With over 10% of America's 200-plus million cell phone subscribers now using the wireless Web on a regular basis, it's clear a critical mass of both consumers and mobile consumer data will soon exist to make scaleable mobile targeting a reality. In theory, that is. In practice, the challenge remains creating a viable "ecosystem" for leveraging all that emerging behavioral data among mobile operators, mobile content providers and advertisers. Adam Soroca, vice president of search at JumpTap, a provider of "white label" search solutions for mobile operators, outlines what such an "ecosystem" might look like.

BT and Privacy, Part 5: It's In The Policy
by Steve Smith on Feb 9, 4:45 PM
If our informal straw poll of BT's top executives is any indication, there doesn't appear to be a comprehensive interest in the field to push the issue at consumers. Generally, digital users are not complaining. As Dave Moore, CEO and chairman of 24/7 Real Media, tells us this week, it really isn't that complicated for consumer to grasp. "If you frequently visit travel sites, then you will receive more travel ads," he says.

Targeting And Life Stages
by Phil Leggiere on Feb 7, 3:30 PM
Most current approaches to behavioral targeting put all or nearly all their emphasis on what people are looking at and for online. While that's an important first step, truly customized granular targeting involves going deeper, learning new ways of asking and answering the question of why and how specific consumer segments differ in their search behavior, as Susie Kang, senior vice president of WhitePages.com, explains.

BT And Privacy, Part 4: Higher Education
by Steve Smith on Feb 2, 4:00 PM
Consumers need to consider how well the online ad industry protects rather than violates their privacy, says SpecificMedia CEO Tim Vanderhook. SpecificMedia targets up to 80 million unique users demographically, contextually and behaviorally across its ad network. Explaining to end users the technical details of cookie placement and anonymous tracking, let alone the B2B relationships among advertisers, networks, and publishers, may not be a cost-effective solution to the privacy debate, he argues.

The REAL cost of divorce
Divorce in many cases is becoming a fast route to poverty.
Not only does divorce often bring a severe heartbreak that can take a vast time to heal. Research shows that people are not healing from divorce.
> The 2nd marriage divorce rate is 53%
> 3rd marriage divorce rate is 72% and
> 4th marriage divorce rate is 84%
Each year about 1.2 million couples get divorced in the US vs 120,000 in the UK, costing taxpayers an estimated $30 billion in Federal and state expenditures (Schramm, 2006).
Each divorce costs society about $25,000 to $30,000 because of the increase in costs of supporting people with housing, food stamps, bankruptcies, problems with youth and other related expenses.
The effect on Children when parents go through a divorce is shocking and should not be dismissed.
- In a study of 3,500 children whose parents have divorced. Between the children's first and third grade, they scored lower in math and had poorer interpersonal skills than those whose parents stayed married.
- At high school level, children from intact families have significantly better test scores, compared to children of divorced parents. One example in the study was that by the age of 13 there is an average difference of half a year in the reading ability between children of divorced parents and children from intact families.
- Other research cited included a study that found children from divorced families were 26% more likely to drop out of secondary school compared to children brought up in intact families. Moreover, even if a divorced parent re-married this did not remove the negative impact of the initial divorce on children's academic results.
- The divorce penalty extends up to college. Fagan and Churchill reported one study that found only 33% of students from divorced families graduate from college, compared to 40% of those from intact families.
Where children have experienced several break-ups they are ten times as likely to have severe behavioural problems. The emotional damage is long lasting. In late middle age they are still more likely to have major breakdowns than those from stable homes.
This should be a motivation to LEARN from past relationships and see where you can change and never rush into a relationship. Correct healing is VITAL, so that second and/or third marriages don't fall into a repeat pattern creating a vicious cycle of a broken generation.
Failing relationships cost, for everyone involved. Stress and Trauma is a very serious and a growing issue in work places. People unable to function at work, under so much stress that loss of concentration and lack of confidence becomes evident.
Stress affects one in five of the working population. It is now the single biggest cause of sickness in the UK.
Over 105 million days are lost to stress each year costing UK employers £1.24 billion. But If you leave healing too long, you can really become seriously traumatised and not be able to work for an even longer period of time. Lack of proper support and Lack of appreciation of how big the trauma is, consequently knocks self esteem and confidence.
So what is the REAL COST OF DIVORCE that sometimes gets swept under the rug?
And what are the REAL and CORRECT ways to handle these situations?
Being Educated in the real cost of Divorce is a great step to understanding the most effective and healthy ways to prevent these disturbing Statistics from growing.
Till next time!
Lots of hugs
2 Responses to "The REAL cost of divorce"
Divorce is big business in the United States with an average cost of about $20,000. The more complicated and emotional the divorce, the more expensive it will be. Dealing with a drastic reduction of income since your spouse is no longer helping you financially is a big issue.
I know my costs were so high that I am still paying it. The costs for my children were higher, and I hope they wont pay it for the rest of their lives, and just hope that will be able to get over it. Money comes and goes but children are the most important in this situation.

TOP SUBS in SOUTH FLORIDA (Miami, Ft Lauderdale) Love La Spada's and V&S but has anyone tried what used to be one of my faves and I'm sure they are still churning out their Italian sandwiches on that incredible white flour Ity bun at Four Star Deli & Ravioli on N. State Rd. # 7 in Margate? |
I THINK WE NEED TO OPEN A SUB-CATEGORY IN THIS THREAD RE: BEST SLAB PIZZA. I'm sure many remember Tony & Sons back in the day in Ville-Emard. I've long left Montreal but when I visit or have relatives coming our way we have found St. Hubert bakery on south shore in St. Hubert excellent and fresh. NDG Boulangerie & Charcuterie had a dynamo back in the 70's/80'S . They would just add some of that smoked HOT cappicolla and you were off to the races! Their cold cuts last I heard are still some of the best around town. [Note: This discussion was split from the Best pizza in MTL thread at http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/369745 -- The Chowhound Team] |
ios94, I was reading down through this thread at light speed wondering if anyone would mention it and sure enough you nailed it- classic Montreal greasy pizza but the best in its heyday-Miss Decarie. I used to live right across the street from it. Does anyone recall Colosseo's in Montreal West back in the 70's and early 80's? |

This review is from: Total War: Rome 2 PC Game
Pros: NONE
Cons: I don't own this game personally but it's so horrible that I'm going to write a review to keep people away from it.
My friend owns this and loves the Total War series. He got this back in September and couldn't get through maybe five turns without the game crashing his computer, the game crashing itself, or it slowing down to the point of almost freezing (unplayable). He asked me to look at his computer because he thought it might be the reason. Everything is fine and he meets the minimum / some of the recommended settings. Then I find out that the game has massive bug issues so problem found.
It's been about 6 months give or take since the game has been released, I've read that there have been massive patch releases and guess what happens now? The game can't even get through a single turn without crashing when it calculates your enemies decisions / moves.
I've played computer games for years, build computers, repair them, etc. and have never seen a game this horrible upon release or even when updates have come out. Stay Away!! Or wait maybe until 2016...... Hopefully they'll have it fixed by then......
Friend's Computer Specs:
AMD FX-6100 3.3 Ghz
Radeon HD 5850 1GB
16GB DDR3-1600 Memory
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3 Mobo
This review is from: CORSAIR Hydro Series H50 120mm Quiet Edition Liquid CPU Cooler – Intel Only
Pros: -Compact
-Like the price for it's performance
Cons: Instructions could have used a bit more work.
Other Thoughts: Hooked this up in my antec twelve hundred case on the bottom exhaust fan. Bought this earlier today and took almost no time to install. The thermal compound is still setting in with my phenom II 940 but temps are at 24 C idle vs my arctic cooler 64 which was at 36 C =) 4Ghz here I come!!!
READ FULL REVIEWThis review is from: SAMSUNG Black 22X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner - OEM
Pros: Cheap DVD burner, you can't really complain for it being only $25. SATA. I can now have multiple dvd rips going with these two i got and my old ide dvd burner. Takes only about 25 - 30 minutes to rip a typical dvd with my AMD 940 and this bad boy =)
Cons: Haven't had it to long and doesn't seem to have any problems right now. Hopefully that doesn't change *knock on wood*
Other Thoughts: Didn't have to mess with any jumpers on the back. Just plugged in, checked BIOS to make sure they were there, and it took Windows about a two minutes to download the drivers and presto. Easy to install, cheap, and I will be buying / recommending until blue ray comes down in price.

- I have 6 different kinds of ornamental grasses from knee high to 8
feet tall available. I can tell you how tall they are but not what
kind except the zebra grass. They were just dug up and divided today
so they should be picked up and planted as soon as possible. The knee
high ones are starting to green up but the rest are still dormant.
I live at 12801 Hazelwood Dr. in Clive - between University and
Hickman on the northwest corner of 128th and Hazelwood Dr. (Just

IBM impact on Storage

How has IBM impacted Computer Storage today and moving forward?
IBM invented the hard disk drive (HDD) and brought it to market in 1956, the HDD which were considered secondary storage devices at that time. As technology advanced HDD were the primary data storage devices in the '60's. The first IBM drive, the 350 RAMAC , was approximately the size of two refrigerators and stored 5 million 6-bit characters (the equivalent... [Continue Reading]

To add a level of HA to the SATA environment interposers are utilized to add a second connectivity port while allowing conversion to another interface (i.e. Fibre Channel). Switching the...

Think back, how has IT evolved over your career and over back over the past 30 years if applicable. Now narrow down that focus to just Data Management techniques.

North Wootton is a village and civil parish near the town of King's Lynn in Norfolk, England. It covers an area of 32.33 km2 (12.48 sq mi) and had a population of 2,387 in 935 households at the 2001 census.[1] For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk.
It is close to the Norfolk coast and is slightly smaller than the nearby South Wootton. North Wootton is near the village of Castle Rising and both were owned by the Howard family who are patrons of both parish churches. Former marshland, drained by the Dutch[citation needed] links the village to the coast. Predominantly a farming village, the village is now experiencing a period of growth owing to new developments, holiday retreats for Londoners being the most recent of these.
The old part is located around the small village green consisting of a few houses, an old schoolhouse and a former post office (now closed).
With the arrival of the railway, a station (now disused) was built in the west of the village towards the marsh. The railway linked King's Lynn with Hunstanton. The old station waiting room is still extant though now part of a private house. The signal box was used by the local scout group for many years, but has now been removed for future use on a heritage railway outside the local area. The station would have been familiar to the Royal family being only 2.8 miles (4.5 km) away across the River Babingley from Wolferton station which served the nearby Sandringham Estate.
The old Red Cat Hotel still stands and is run by the Irwin family. It is situated in the heart of North Wootton near the old railway. The Red Cat hotel is a traditional Norfolk Inn that is open to the public offering both drinks and pub meals. It is quite close to nearby attractions such as Castle Rising Castle, West Norfolk Rugby Club and minutes away from the Hanseatic riverside town market town of King's Lynn.[2]
West Norfolk Rugby Club is based here and was founded in 1925 around the time when there were only a small selection of clubs in Norfolk. The club itself was originally based in Swaffham but was later moved during the early 1930s to the Dukes Head In King's Lynn until WW2. At the end of the war the club reformed and moved to the small village of North Wootton where it used the stables at the red cat hotel for changing facilities. West Norfolk Rugby Club has continued to prosper and develop and now has a thriving youth section.[3]
There is only one school, North Wootton Primary School, Headteacher Mr J. Williams. All Saints Church, part of the Anglican Benefice of the Church in the Woottons is led by the Rector, the Revd. James Nash.[4]
North Wootton Picnic in the Park[edit]
In the summer of 2012, North Wootton hosted the event "North Wootton Picnic in the Park" a free music festival that attracted over 4000 people. It was originally set up to mark the Queen's Diamond Jubilee; however, due to the popularity of the event it was considered that it should become an annual event. Local band Jimmy Rockit were the main headline of the show with other local and non-local bands also performing such as Robbie Williams tribute act Dan O'Dwyer, Jessie's Ghost, Genuine Fake, Martin's Folly and Springwood Big Band. The event also included a fairground, dog show, charity stalls, dance displays, gymnastic display and a laser quest game.[5]

BOSTON -- Mike Carp is starting in left field today. He drove in the tying run with two outs in the eighth inning Saturday with a pinch-hit double, and in six games against the Indians this season, he is batting .500, going 6-for-12 with five extra-base hits (three doubles, a triple, and a home run) and six RBI.
"More than anything is to get to know the strengths of guys on the roster," he said. "We strive our best to put guys in position to succeed. It's ultimately their abilities that allows them to do that, but I think there's been some continuity with the use of the guys on the bench so they can anticipate mentally when a spot is coming up for them. I think that pertains directly to Jonny and Mike Carp and their roles and how they've been able to produce. It's no different than guys in the bullpen. You put them in a situation to have success."
- Shortstop Stephen Drew, who had a day off Saturday, is back in the lineup today.
- Jose Iglesias is back at third base. He went 3-for-4 with a double and two runs scored yesterday.
Iglesias is now hitting .481, going 13-for-27 with a .593 slugging percentage and .500 on-base percentage in eight major league games over two stints this season. In 33 games with Triple-A Pawtucket, he was hitting just .202 with a .319 SLG and .262 OBP. After the game on Saturday, Iglesias said part of the reason for his success at the big league level this season is the different atmosphere, compared to the minor leagues.
"Deep down it's clear he saw himself as a major league player. The fact he comes back here he handles himself in a way you can sense when he walks passed you. He believes himself. That's not trash talking or anything else. He just goes about his actions in a mature manner."
- Left-hander Andrew Miller is second among major league relievers with a ratio of 15.85 strikeouts-per-nine innings. In 15 1/3 innings this season, he has recorded 27 strikeouts. He trails only Detroit's Al Albuquerque, at 16.33.
- Dustin Pedroia has an eight-game hitting streak at Fenway. In that stretch he is batting .515, going 17-for-33, with four doubles, six RBI, and six runs scored.
- Daniel Nava has started eight of the last nine games in right field, and move from left to right in that ninth game, on May 21 at Chicago. He will likely continue there in Victorino's absence.
- Third baseman Will Middlebrooks has expressed optimism that he will be able to come off the DL (low back) when he is eligible. The Sox, though, are being more cautious.

It's summer; time to put on shorts
Summer's wave of new TV shows is about to hit full force: a blend of reality, sexy drama and downright silliness. Once the dead zone of the year, summer has become TV's short season of experimentation. Here are five diverse programs that hold promise for the long, hot days ahead.
Debuts 9 p.m. June 24, ABC
If you've watched Japanese game shows on YouTube, you know the genre is "American Gladiators" times zany. Ten Americans, including Mary Greenawalt of Matthews and Bilenda Madison of Charlotte, are flown to Japan to compete in outrageous challenges. Among the stunts: Dangling from a harness and scooping up stuffed animals while yelling directions to the blindfolded crane operator.
Call it: Pure escape.
Debuts 10 p.m. July 17, Speed channel
Speed focuses on the Chicago O'Hare Towing & Recovery, which works in the busiest transportation hub of the Midwest and answers about 200 calls a day. At the center of the family owned business is Bill Gratzianna, who pulls no punches either at a wreck or when angry motorists come to reclaim their towed-away cars. For the Gratzianna clan, business is always picking up – dramatically.
CALL IT: Smashing.
Debuts 10 p.m. Wednesday, June 18, Tru TV
It's a race to the bottom on three competing rigs in the steaming Texas oil fields. Drillers fight breakdowns, flying chains and each other (in bars, after quitting time). This reality series shows how dirty a job it is to tap oil deposits and keep a crew of headstrong roughnecks in line. Like the Texas scrubland, the personalities are outsize.
CALL IT: Pumped.
Debuted June 16, 10:30 p.m., Showtime
This saucy British import stars Billie Piper (" Doctor Who") as Belle du Jour, a witty London call girl whose parents think she works nights as a legal secretary. She enjoys her work, but after a few years of leading a double life, the lines begin to blur between her daytime and evening personas. "Diary" is based on the memoirs of a British escort; the series was an immediate hit in the United Kingdom.
CALL IT: Sinsational.
Debuts 8 p.m. July 10, CBS
It was just a matter of time before the talent show genre went to the dogs. CBS will board 12 of the nation's smartest pooches and their masters in a home. Each week, the teams will learn new tricks, and the weakest will be eliminated. Best team will win $250,000. Hosting "GAD" will be zoologist Jarod Miller, co-host of Animal Planet's "PetFinder."
CALL IT: Pet-lover's pleasure.

Brief submission guidelines
Brief is the official University of Minnesota staff and faculty weekly news digest, featuring human resource, employee benefit, administrative, legislative, budgetary, event, and other pertinent information. Publication is every Wednesday. The deadline for submissions is at noon on the Friday before the date of publication. Contact the Brief editor.
Brief relies on the content provider to be the expert in determining the "value" of the submission; however, the editor retains the final decision on publication. Submissions should be regarded as "high-level" information. Because of this, Brief prefers having a single individual contributor designated per campus/college/department. Generally, this person is your communications professional. For the outstate campuses, those individuals are: Elizabeth Tollefson (UMC); Kathleen McQuillan-Hofmann (UMD); Jenna Ray (UMM); and Jay Hesley (UMR).
Criteria for inclusion in Brief
- Submissions should be 70 words or less and include only relevant, factual information. Because Brief entries are succinct, events should offer a link.
- Brief will include no more than five entries per campus, with the exception of the Twin Cities campus, which, because of its size, will receive space for about 10 entries. All other TC entries will be held over for a later issue or placed in the UMTC Featured Events section.
- Entries will not be included more than once per quarter unless there is significant justification to do so from an administrative perspective. Entries will never appear in back-to-back issues.
- The Brief editor retains the right to edit content according to Brief style and at the editor's discretion. When making modifications to an entry, the editor will make every effort to notify the contributor of those changes before publication, but it may not always be possible to do so.
A word on content
- The news is "need-to-know" administrative news.
- The news should be of broad appeal to faculty and staff. More focused or disipline specific events should first seek out a targeted University publication.
- The news helps to make the U more accessible to, and create connections (build relationships) among faculty and staff.
- The news promotes healthy lives for faculty and staff.
- The news includes components of the U's mission of outreach, research, teaching, and education.
- Brief will not include calls for research participants or course advertisements.
A word on events
- Events that are sponsored by or directly involve faculty/staff and/or that appeal to faculty/staff will be preferred.
- Events should take place on the respective campus. Events held off-campus are in most cases considered only after on-campus events have been included.
- Brief will in general not include multiple events from the same unit/college/department within the same issue in order to give equal opportunity for space, and to focus on high-priority events.
- Events should appear in Brief with some advance notice prior to the event.
- Free events will be favored over fee-required events.
Criteria for inclusion in the People section of Brief
The People section of Brief is for those announcements/awards heavily focused on an individual. Most important are those individuals who are on the payroll—faculty and staff.

Borrowers may breathe easy for sometime as the Reserve Bank of India on Thursday said it is not going to change its policy rates or other tools, which have a bearing on interest rates, till April 20.
"Please don't expect any action between now and the next announcement unless there is a completely unanticipated, unwarranted event," RBI deputy governor Subir Gokarn told reporters on the sidelines of an Assocham seminar here.
The RBI is scheduled to come out with its annual monetary policy for the next fiscal on April 20.
"We had anticipated in our announcement in January that the government would live up to its earlier commitment to bring the (fiscal) deficit down to 5.5 per cent of the GDP and our policy decision on January 29 takes that into consideration," he said.
The Finance Minister had set a target of reducing the fiscal deficit to 5.5 per cent of GDP next fiscal from the projection of 6.8 per cent for the current fiscal.
On food inflation, the deputy governor said, "In the event of a normal monsoon, I think the food inflation situation should moderate towards the end of the year."
In the monetary policy review on January 29, RBI Governor D Subbarao had said, "on the assumption of a normal monsoon and global oil prices remaining around the current level, it is expected that inflation will moderate from July 2010."
Mr. Gokarn added: "We don't have week by week expectations. We track the numbers. We have along term outlook. We expect food inflation to soften."
Keywords: RBI, inflationary measures, monetary policies, Subir Gokarn, raising food prices

Now you can! The only thing you have to do is drive Hal to all the games this season.
If I lived in Dayton I'd do it in a heartbeat. The perks are worth putting up with Hal.
old men smell, so no.
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
I'd do it just to listen to Hal's jokes on the ride to and from the game. They're filthy, offensive and very funny. You don't want to hear the ones he told when Marge owned the team, lol.
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
Hal is an unbelievable person. When I was a senior in high school preparing to enter journalism school, he invited me to a game, took me to the press box, really went all out. One hell of a guy.
Youngsters with no committments. Please do this on my behalf. You'll have a lifetime of stories.

94 Reds / 86 Cards / 85 Pirates / 76 Cubs / 72 Brewers
Can't drink beer in press box. Can't cheer. ... That might get quite old after awhile.
Nah. What would get old after about 3 games is shelling out $8 per beer, when the job pays zero. Screw that noise.
Also, if you want to be a stickler about silly crap like the law, there's also the whole thing about part of the job involving driving back home after the game.
This is actually a semi-tempting offer. There's just no way I could commit to the whole 81 games without completely tanking every other aspect of my life. Any chance on forming some kind of RedsZone Transportation Subcommittee, and bid on the project as a group? Get 4-5 folks from Dayton-ish to take turns, and I might be able to handle 1 or 2 games per week without dire consequences.
"Even a bad day at the ballpark beats the snot out of most other good days. I'll take my scorecard and pencil and beer and hot dog and rage at the dips and cheer at the highs, but I'm not ever going to stop loving this game and this team and nobody will ever take that away from me." Roy Tucker October 2010

As someone who works in the media, at the collegiate level, it is most definitely a rule. I've actually seen people get into it over what one person deemed excessive cheering from the press box. As for the actual job, I have a feeling it would get old to most people. I enjoy my job but, at the end of the day it is work and it has its pros and cons. I would imagine MLB baseball would be very similar to my job (I cover all sports) and it would become a grind sooner than latter. Of course, you aren't required to do any actual work here just show up.

I am trying to solve the famous 8-puzzle, where a 3*3 square is filled with 1 empty slot and 8 numbers, solving is to return it to the original state.
to do this, I have a "state" of arraylist which stores the numbers 0~9, representing the puzzle.
the solution involves spawning multitudes of possible move-states, meaning I save every legal move made and the resulting puzzle. This is done using the below methods, but my swapAndStore will not edit the original passed array every pass. instead, when called upon in the genSuccessors() below that, it will work fine for the first if condition, then apply the next if condition on the result of the first if. I thought I fixed the issue by making a new puzzlestate called "oldBoard" to save the original input puzzle for future reference, but this did not work either. A friend told me this might have to do with the reference issue, which I cannot grasp well. I understand that when x=0, y=1, java will not do a swap(x,y) so that x = 1, y=0, but cannot see how this applies here. suggestions?
private void swapAndStore(int d1, int d2, ArrayList<State> s)
//int[] cpy = copyBoard(curBoard);
int[] cpy = new int [curBoard.length];
int[] oldBoard = new int [curBoard.length];
int temp = cpy[d1];
cpy[d1] = cpy[d2];
cpy[d2] = temp;
s.add((new State(cpy)));
curBoard = oldBoard;
System.out.println("swapandstore storing" );
public ArrayList<State> genSuccessors()
ArrayList<State> successors = new ArrayList<State>();
int hole = getHole();
// try to generate a state by sliding a tile leftwise into the hole
// if we CAN slide into the hole
if (hole != 0 && hole != 3 && hole != 6)
* we can slide leftwise into the hole, so generate a new state for
* this condition and throw it into successors
swapAndStore(hole - 1, hole, successors);
// try to generate a state by sliding a tile topwise into the hole
if (hole != 6 && hole != 7 && hole != 8)
swapAndStore(hole + 3, hole, successors);

My Dad worked in England for roughly eleven years in the 1970's. He then emigrated to Ireland where he has worked for the rest of his life. He is now nearing retirement (3years away) and has found out that he would be entitled to half the state pension in England. They also told him he could buy extra years as well. If he accepts this pension will his Irish pension be effected or will they be treated seperatly. Anyone he has asked have said it is a very grey area. I was also wondering if it would be worthwhile to try and get the money together to buy the extra years. I think it would cost about ten grand, but if it meant he would loose out on his irish pension would it even be worth it. He couldnt afford to pay the ten grand, myself and my siblings would have to try and get it together. Any ad.vice would be appreciated
Re: Will British Pension affect Irish entitlements It should have no entitlement to his right to the Irish State Contributory Pension. Does he have sufficient PRSI contributions in Ireland to claim the full Irish State Pension? In relation to buying added years in the UK, how much extra pension will he receive if he makes the £10,000/€10,000(?) contribution?
Re: Will British Pension affect Irish entitlements Moved from PRSAs and Pensions to Welfare and State Benefits
If your dad has eleven years contributions in UK it is probably not worth paying ten thousand pounds, because my understanding is, you need ten years minimum before you are entitled to anything. He can claim whatever pension he is entitled to from UK and whatever he gets from here and between the two he should have the required amount.From memory the qualifying years in UK is 42 years contributions for men.Women used to be less but that has now changed. In any case he will do better getting a pension from Ireland and at €200 a week with free electricity and telephone it is better than UK.Invest the ten grand somewhere else.
Re: Will British Pension affect Irish entitlements Thanks for the replies. He has enough prsi contributions here to claim the full Irish state pension. From what I can make out from the English documentation he will get 50% at the moment and he could buy the years to make up the full pension by paying approx. 10,000. I need to have another look at the documents they sent him as they are very confusing.
Re: Will British Pension affect Irish entitlements If he is entitled to the full Irish Contributory Pension, it cannot be reduced by any other pension entitlement such as the UK Pension. I would double check the figures from UK re buying years....a friend of mine has 14 years contributions and he enquired about buying years. He was told a minimum of 30 years is required, so he will be buying 16, the first 7-8 at about 300 sterling P.A. and the rest at about 110 P.A... he worked it out at about 3000+ grand. His entitlement would be fro 87 sterling per week so it's worth it....if he lives to collect it for a couple of years, that is!
Re: Will British Pension affect Irish entitlements If he can get the full English pension and full Irish pension - it should provide for a pretty comfortable retirement. If he pays the £10K how much bigger will his English annual pension be? If it makes a difference of more than £600/year and he is in good health...I would probably say it's a great deal he should take it.
I'm not sure it's as simple as that. From what I can recall, there are reciprocal arrangements for people who move from the UK to Ireland and vice versa and it's possible to receive a partial pension in each country. I also think that in recent years, the rules have been changed so that Social Welfare contributions in (some?) other EU countries can count towards your eligibility for the Irish state pension. I think there used to be a booklet published by the DSFA (or whatever it's called these days) that dealt with UK/Ireland transfers and it may have been called Scope or something like that. If it's still being published, it should contain at least some of the information you will need to be able to make an informed decision. Regards Homer
Thank you all for your replies. I will sit down at the weekend and go through all the info. I just want to be sure they (ie my parents) have a comfortable retirement
I am in a similar situation to your dad having worked in the U.K. for 16 years and then returned to Ireland. I agree with what the others have said in that your dad will be able to obtain pensions from Ireland and the U.K. Here is a link to Finfacts which explains how member states calculate pensions when a person has worked in two or more states. As you can see your dad will not be at a disadvantage. http://www.finfacts.com/fincentre/statepensions.htm One thing that you dad might consider is to defer claiming the U.K. pension for a number of years and if he does that the amount of pension will increase by about 10% a year for every year that he defers taking a pension. Here is a link to the U.K. Pension site that explains it: http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk/statepensiondeferral/choices.asp I would be interested in hearing how your dad gets on.
Thanks for the suggestion for defering, 10% is quite substancial, definetly worth thinking about! Although Dad is a major hypocondriac, he is allways saying he probably wont make it to retirement, sods law he thinks, work all his life and as soon as he gets to his time off he thinks he will pop his clogs so he may not be too keen on defering if he does make it

The Parcel Tax insures a revenue stream that is consistent and predictable and will allow the town to continue to maintain infrastructure, have its own police force, and responsibly pay down its unfunded liability. If property taxes rise enough to make it no longer necessary, our council can eliminate it.
These are not tax and spend professional politicians, for goodness sakes. They are our small town neighbors, volunteering to serve in the best interests of our community. We should be talking to them about our interests, working with them and thanking them for their service, instead of impugning their integrity. Let's try to cooperate, as neighbors should.

Keith notes that Atherton residents should cooperate with the officials charged with determining the amount of the parcel tax, suggesting it would be more neighborly to do so. But, the finance committee actually determined the parcel tax is not necessary, at least at its current level. The finance committee is comprised of our neighbors.
I believe the approach of going with the lower tax now, and possibly asking for more later if the finance committee analysis turns out to be too optimistic, is a much more responsible one than asking for the full amount now, and possibly rebating the monies if the analysis is correct AND the monies don't otherwise get spent. My recommended approach honors our neighbors' analysis as being correct.
Keith suggests that the integrity of some or all of the individuals involved is being impugned, but I failed to detect that in this article (or elsewhere). I actually believe it is quite common for people with integrity to adopt an approach of identifying themselves as fiscally conservative, against a "tax and spend" mindset but not when it has to do with issues that affect them or they find important. This facet of human nature has resulted, cumulatively, in trillion dollar deficits. Nor do I believe that Atherton's small size exempts it from these usual considerations; as Tip O'Neill said, "all politics is local."

Should churches release their pastors for global missions? For some churches who are tremendously blessed by the ministry of their pastors, this is a tough question to answer. A missionary couple from Hong Kong who left the pastorate 25 years ago to serve as Bible translation workers discovered only recently that some people were hurt when they left their church. There are many pastors who, together with their families, have left the comforts of their churches to respond to the call of global missions. Whether big or small, well-established or newly established, pray that churches around the world will grow in their faith and understanding of God's mission plan as they release even their best and beloved workers for the work of the Lord.
According to the Lausanne Global Diaspora Forum, there are around 50 million refugees whose lives have been disrupted by conflict and persecution. Based on the said statistics, 40% are children and 50% of all the refugees are women. Only God can provide genuine hope, peace and comfort to displaced peoples. Claim that His wonderful plan for them will prevail. Ask God to send believers who will share His Word and extend His love to them in meaningful ways. Pray for governments that host refugees to provide them with adequate care and protection. Ask God to use His Word to guide and encourage the refugees as they settle in new environments.
Bible storytelling are impacting oral cultures in significant ways. In Bible storytelling, storytellers choose a Bible story, study it well and retell it using voices and gestures while still keeping its original message. Pray for the many Wycliffe personnel who are engaging communities through Bible storytelling. Lift to the Lord the 22 Pacific Islanders who recently attended an Oral Bible Storytelling workshop. Pray that as they become good storytellers, they will also be faithful in telling the stories to others that have never heard them. Pray also for the communities they represent, that God would prepare their hearts to hear His story of love and grace.
There are translation projects in Papua New Guinea that were started more than thirty years ago that have been facing many challenges, including spiritual warfare. Claim God's complete victory over the work among the Nai Tanggu, Miani (Madang), Maring (Jiwaka), Teopu, Sibe and Uisai (Autonomous Region of Bougainville) language communities. Ask the Lord to renew the minds and strengthen the hearts of the workers. Pray that language teams experience courage, joy and wisdom from the Holy Spirit. Pray that God will direct the translators and the communities they serve to clearly identify and address every challenge in His power and provide them with more resources to complete these projects.
Working collaboratively over the internet is another way in which God's people participate in His mission as a community. A few months ago, student volunteers went to a Southeast Asian country and worked on a software project that can be used for Scripture typesetting through the web. Pray that this software will be used properly to speed up the typesetting process. Ask the Lord to provide more software engineers who could develop and/or improve existing software programs so that language projects are done more efficiently. Pray also as another computer technology team is being formed to serve projects in Southeast Asia.
One of the largest least evangelized countries of the world is Japan. Since the concept of a Creator God is difficult for the Japanese people to accept, the teachings of the Bible are also hard for them to believe and obey. Pray that God opens the eyes of the Japanese people to the truths of His Word. Pray that the Japanese believers will clearly testify to God's love and favor in their lives. Pray also for Wycliffe Japan as it seeks to to see more Japanese believers and churches become involved in the work of missions and Bible translation. Pray also for wisdom as Wycliffe Japan develops materials on missions for Japanese preschool and elementary school children.
In 2008, the Indonesia Protestant Church of Donggala in Central Sulawesi began partnering with Wycliffe Global Alliance in translating the Bible into the local languages. Work began in the region which included the Tajio language community. The team worked very hard as the Lord led them to translate the 18 miracles in the Gospel of Mark. These miracles were recently compiled and printed into a book which was the first book ever to be printed in the Tajio language. Scripture access is an important aspect of God's mission. Praise God for the various efforts of Indonesia Protestant Church of Donggala to provide local workers and funding for Bible translation work in Central Sulawesi.
