Why you should not play with a live WP site
I do most of my experiments on this blog. Whereas most of the experiments are on content and digital marketing, some tend to be technical.
Yesterday, I was trying out the exceptional Pods framework on my blog. In my haste to try out Pods, I skipped setting up a locally hosted WordPress stack and opted to install it on this blog instead.

My first Ionic App
The couple of Phonegap apps that I worked on, things were too messed up.
- Is it Phonegap or is it Cordova?
- Do I build locally or do I used Phonegap Build?
- Using jQuery Mobile, which event happens first – device ready or jquery ready?
- Why is this too slow?
There were times, when I felt that I had absolutely no control on the app. This is where my frustrations with Phonegap started growing … not to mention the insane compile complications.
Enter Ionic
This is where I first learn about the Cordova project and how there are multiple spin-offs of that. Phonegap being just one of those … I always assumed that PG and Cordova were synonyms. Guess not.
To start with Ionic, the getting started guide to Ionic is a pretty decent place to start. Keep in mind though that it's best that you go through some basic Angular tutorials before you dive into Ionic.
Enter Angular
The thing about javascript based apps is that you need a javascript library to run the app on. You could arguably use native JS methods and create your own bespoke app.
But that's not really a wise choice (unless you are a freaky javascript ninja). I don't know about you, but I for certain am not. Let me at those libraries!
This is where jqm or angular really matter. My experience with jqm was pretty bad and although I am liking angular, things seem far more in my control.

Path to Scale
Every entrepreneur dreams of creating something scalable. Leaving behind a legacy which people look back in wonder and say … how did they achieve this.
What do we mean by Scale?
Scale could mean multiple things for different people. The CFO would look at scale and say more profits, the Head BD would say more clients, the Head Sales would say more revenues, the Founder would say more valuation, the HR would say more people!
At 13 Llama Studio, when we started the firm, it was just three people and we literally started in a garage. For us scale means all those terms combined, and in the past two years we have trebled our team, our sales and our clients.
I would not say that we have scaled up so far. In the past two years, we have faced a fair bit of challenges. I am pretty certain that most start-ups go through this issues, and only the ones who are able to solve these are able to become larger entities.

Skip to comments.White House Shifts Legal Gears as ObamaCare Heads to Supreme Court
Posted on 03/20/2012 7:58:08 AM PDT by Mikey_1962
The pressure of the continuing countdown to Monday, March 26, when the Supreme Court takes on the challenge to ObamaCare, has forced legal advisors to the White House to change their strategy in hopes of successfully rebuffing it and preserving the Obama administrations key legislative victory signed into law in March, 2010.
Its all about the mandate and whether it can be sustained by claiming justification for it under a generous reading of the Commerce Clause (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 3) in the Constitution. Without that mandate, the administration claims that the rest of the law would necessarily fail due to its excessive costs. The Congressional Budget Office just reported that those costs would be double what the Obama administration touted in its cram-down of the law two years ago. And another CBO study said that, if implemented, millions of citizens between 3 million and 20 million would actually lose their present coverage, while public polls continue to show declining support for the whole idea of the federal governments virtual takeover of the countrys health delivery system.
An ABC News/Washington Post poll taken in January showed that most of those polled think that ObamaCare, if implemented, will cost jobs, hurt the economy, and cost more than projected. Last weeks poll from the same source showed that two-thirds of those polled say the U.S. Supreme Court should throw out either the individual mandate or the law in its entirety. According to the pollsters, "[T]he law has never earned majority support in ABC/Post polls and this update finds a strong sense its critics are dominating the debate. Seventy percent of Americans report hearing mainly negative things about the law "
Another measure of the intensity surrounding the pending Supreme Court hearings (a record six hours are scheduled over three days next week) is the number of amicus" or "friend of the court" briefs that have been submitted by parties who are interested in influencing the outcome of a lawsuit but who are not parties to it. Reuters reported that 136 briefs have been filed with the court (a stack about two feet high), a third more than the previous record number filed back in 2003 over an affirmative action lawsuit involving the University of Michigan.
The change in strategy moves the defense of ObamaCare away from the Commerce Clause and directs it instead to the Necessary and Proper Clause (Article 1, Section 8, Clause 18) of the Constitution, which reads:
The Congress shall have Power To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
The argument goes like this: Because its [allegedly] proper for the government to reform the interstate market in health insurance by requiring insurance companies to cover everyone regardless of health status without charging higher premiums, then it follows that the mandate forcing participation is necessary and proper to keep the additional costs that regulation would cause from bankrupting the country.
The White House recognizes the reality that they have four justices likely to support ObamaCare, and four who are likely to rule against it, leaving one Justice Antonin Scalia in the middle. In a previous case, Gonzales v. Raich, Scalia noted in a separate opinion that the federal government could prevent people from growing their own medical marijuana as a necessary and proper way of carrying out the governments broader power to criminalize drug usage. Such a claim, using Scalias own argument, is giving the White House the opening it needs to keep Scalia in line, remain consistent and force him to side with the administration on the matter.
With so much attention about to be directed to the Supreme Courts hearings next week, it is going to be hard for the court to avoid offending someone. If ObamaCare is upheld, the Supremes suffer in the court of public opinion. If ObamaCare is ruled unconstitutional, the Obama administration will suffer a grievous, perhaps fatal, blow to its reelection efforts.
Of course, analysts have pointed out that the court just may find a way to delay making any decision at all until after the election, thereby offending everyone and confirming for observers that the rule of law no longer matters and that the federal government is free to do whatever it pleases in disregard of the Constitution altogether.
The people know the truth.
I wonder if the people know the following:
I thought you might find this interesting, — maybe even SICKENING!
The National Association of Realtors is all over this and working to get it repealed, — before it takes effect. But, I am very pleased we aren't the only ones who know about this ploy to steal billions from unsuspecting homeowners. How many realtors do you think will vote Democratic in 2012?
Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it? That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc. When did this happen? It's in the health care bill, — and it goes into effect in 2013. Why 2013? Could it be so that it doesnt come to light until after the 2012 elections? So, this is change you can believe in?
Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% sales tax.
If you sell a $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation, — who often downsize their homes. Does this make your November, 2012 vote more important?
Oh, you weren't aware that this was in the ObamaCare bill? Guess what; you aren't alone! There are more than a few members of Congress that weren't aware of it either.
You can check this out for yourself at:
I hope you forward this to every single person in your address book.
It sounds more to me like a sign of desperation if they have decided to completely change their strategy a week before oral arguments...
The undocumented pRes_ _ent will lie, destroy further
the Constitution, and SCOTUS will love him for it.
so the people who paid their way,m paid their bills, did what is responsible get shafted again while those living in rentals and have no desire to ever own but stay and play playstation or canvas for the lefts agenda while getting a few bucks reap the rewards.
I just KNEW that it would come down to that! That Opinion was one of the worst ever handed down.
The Supreme Court is supposed to be beyond reproach from public opinion, which is why they are appointed for life.
"If ObamaCare is upheld, the Supremes suffer in the court of public opinion."
This really will be a test for the Supreme Court. At a time when faith in public institutions is rapidly eroding, a decision to prop up ObamaCare by the Supreme Court pretty much would be a formal announcement that the Constitution which founded the nation is no longer in effect.
—...Scalia noted in a separate opinion that the federal government could prevent people from growing their own medical marijuana as a necessary and proper ...—
I almost laughed out loud at that one. Preventing someone from doing something and FORCING someone to do something are two completely different things. That is the problem with the mandate from the git-go.
I really can't believe a single judge could side with Obama on this if they have a shred of respect for the spirit of the constitutions of the US.
And each and everyone one of them should be tared, feathered and run out of town on a rail for NOT knowing it and voting for it anyway!
Sounds to me like they have been saving thier "best" arguments till the end, especially given Scalia's predeliction overreaching the commerce clause ...
Necessary laws implement enumerated powers. The entirety of Obamacare fails this test.
Proper laws are consistent with a government dedicated to liberty, our unalienable rights as guaranteed by the Ninth Amendment. Forcing citizens to enter into private contracts is a direct assault on what little remains of the Ninth.
Which is totally unrelated to this case, and isn't in any way similar.
Pot is illegal under Federal law, even medical pot, unless in DR proscribed FDA approved form. Private health Ins, or the total lack thereof, has never been illegal and isn't now.
Absolutely. When I read it, it looked like an absurd comparison.
That happened a very long time ago ...
Keep Scalia in line, hahahaha.
Justice Scalia ruled that the gummint could prevent people from growing an ILLEGAL PRODUCT because there was a law already on the books against it.
This in no way "forces Scalia to side with the administration" and if obama's legal team tries to go heavy handed with him, Scalia will show them why our people had such respect for the real Brotherhood.
Ah, but therein lies the rub! The regulation of interstate commerce is an enumerated power. The court, in Gonzales vs. Raich concluded that a product (in that case medical marijuana) that was privately grown for private consumption was never more than "one step away" from interstate commerce - and therefore the Federal Government could pass laws "necessary and proper" to prohibit sich growth.
Health Care is a "product" and, as such - never more than one step away from interstate commerce ....
Forcing citizens to enter into private contracts is a direct assault on what little remains of the Ninth.
The argument they are using is: "that a person's decision to not buy health insurance affects commerce by materially increasing the costs of others' health insurance."
When Gonzales vs. Raich was handed down, I substituted tomatoes to make a point - it applies here as well (and makes a mockery of this argument as it did the decision then): a person's decision to not buy tomatoes affects commerce by materially increasing the costs of others' tomatoes.
Oh, it is VERY related! The case was NOT argued based on the Illegality of Marijauna, but whether the federal government had the power to regulate it under the commerce clause! This was the case where Scalia established the "one step away from interstate commerce" test.
The argument here is that by NOT engaging in commerce, you are adversely affecting the price others must pay (I know, oxymoron), thus under the powers "necessary and proper" to the commerce clause, the Federal government can oblige you to engage in said commerce.
Really? If you absolutely need tomatoes and the government prevents you from growing them yourself, are you not forced to purchase them? (Assuming of course, you only avail yourself of legal avenues of procurement).
Something that doesn't exist can't be transported.
Two appeals court justices, both friends of Scalia, cited his opinion in Raich to uphold Obamacare:
Both Silberman and Sutton cited Scalias opinion in 2005 upholding strict federal regulation of marijuana in the case of Angel Raich, a Californian who used home-grown marijuana to relieve her pain. If Congress could regulate Angel Raich when she grew marijuana on her property for self-consumption, Sutton wrote, it is difficult to say Congress may not regulate the 50 million Americans who self-finance their medical care.
"I really cant believe a single judge could side with Obama on this if they have a shred of respect for the spirit of the Constitution of the US."
You have identified the problem, four of them don't, and the others waiver. On top of that, they view The Law as an entity in and of itself, rather than a vehicle for ordering the country's processes. I never cease to be amazed at how willing they are to continue to sidestep dealing with the critical issues of our time. You just have to wonder how long they can fail to deal with the 2A head on. They are all less than adequate.

There is no chance that lack of health Ins will.
Wrong, there is EVERY chance that lack of Health Insurance will end up in Interstate Commerce! (At least that is what the adminsitration will argue!)
The Adminstration is arguing that your NOT purchasing insurance adversely affects the price paid by everyone else in the country and therefore the compulsary clauses are necessary and proper to fulfill the government's duties under the commerce clause.
So? According to Scalia:
...the authority to enact laws necessary and proper for the regulation of interstate commerce is not limited to laws governing intrastate activities that substantially affect interstate commerce. Where necessary to make a regulation of interstate commerce effective, Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce.
Scalia concurring in Raich
They won't address 0bama's eligibility because of their fear of social unrest.
Perhaps we need to be a little more "unrestful" about this.
Madison said it before ratification, that if, in his case, the General Welfare clause was interpreted to justify anything, then the rest of the constitution was moot.
Now we have, in addition to the General Welfare clause, the Commerce Clause, and now the "Necessary and Proper" clause being used to circumvent the very essence of the Constitution - that of limited general government.
Now? That boat left port a very long time ago ...
—Really? If you absolutely need tomatoes and the government prevents you from growing them yourself, are you not forced to purchase them? —
No. You have the right to go without them. Likewise with health insurance. I actually know someone that has no health insurance because they are so well off they can cover any health expense as you or I would cover an oil change or a new set of tires. Should they be required to purchase health insurance.
it is difficult to say Congress may not regulate the 50 million Americans who self-finance their medical care.
Key word: Regulate.
Also, Regulate is very different from "mandate the purchase of insurance".
I think very specific things are being argued in this case. It is ALL about requiring people, by simple virtue of being American, to buy something, and at the federal level. That a single judge would even consider to rule in favor of it stinks to high heaven.
Nice way to avoid the question and the issues involved.
Since health insurance is regulated by the states and cannot be purchased from an out-of-state insurer, I'm curious to know how whether or not I purchase health insurance can affect interstate commerce. Currently there is no interstate health insurance market, is there?
it is difficult to say Congress may not regulate the 50 million Americans who self-finance their medical care.
Also, it is just an opinion. One I disagree with.
Exactly. Regulate: to control or direct by a rule, principle, method, etc.
Also, Regulate is very different from mandate the purchase of insurance.
In what way? A mandate to do something is a regulation of that activity.
I think very specific things are being argued in this case.
Agreed, but you are ignoring the arguments and the precedents.
The administration is arguing that by NOT purchasing the service, you make it more expensive for all others (smaller pool sharing the risk) and thus you are adversly affecting commerce. Therefore they have the "right" to regulate. IOW, they have moved the goalposts and have a good amount of precedent on thier side, Gonzales vs. Raich being one of them.
We can argue all we want about whether the arguments meet original intent, but that is moot as original intent no longer applies to anything regarding the commerce clause - the courts having eviscerated it long ago.
... Congress may regulate even those intrastate activities that do not themselves substantially affect interstate commerce. Scalia in Gonzales vs. Raich.
Currently there is no interstate health insurance market, is there?
Under ObamaCare there is ....
I get what you are saying, but my point is that it is the same kind of twisting of logic that allowed a college kid back in the early 70's to write a term paper proving black is white.
You could use that line of thinking, twisting as you see fit, to allow literally anything.
Which, I confess, is what I fear and why this case is such a big deal to me. If they side with Obama, the US is officially finished and the constitution is LITERALLY (not "mostly) not worth the paper it's written on.
At that point, it is every man for himself.
For instance, the Constitution of 1787 allowed for direct taxation. Congress could have passed a tax of $5 per person to pay the national debt at the time, for it was clearly necessary. Congress could NOT issue general warrants for federal tax collectors to enter each and every home in order to collect the tax because the IVth Amendment prohibits general warrants.
Even if Obamacare is necessary to implement an enumerated power (it isn't), it must be proper. That means it may not violate another portion of the Constitution, which it does, the Ninth Amendment.
It is a two fold test, both necessity and propriety are required.
Here is a thorough analysis of the necessary and proper clause by Randy Barnett.
That point has already been settled by the court in Gonzales vs. Raich.
That means it may not violate another portion of the Constitution, which it does, the Ninth Amendment.
Gonzales (and a lot of precedent prior to that!) does exactly that! It establishes that almost ANY activity can be deemed to fall under the commerce clause AND that these types of activities are "never more than one step away from interstate commerce".
The court has repeatedly found that the constitution does not mean what it black letter says, but rather that it means what the COURT says it says! We likely face a 4-4 split with Scalia, who penned the "never one step away" clause being the decider. THAT does not make me comfortable!
That is exactly what that decision allows!
In 2005, I wrote:
"Not only is it impossible to distinguish 'controlled substances manufactured and distributed intrastate' from 'controlled substances manufactured and distributed interstate' but it hardly makes sense to speak in such terms," he said. "As the court explains, tomatoes which are grown at home and possessed for personal use are never more than an instant from the interstate market and this is so whether or not the possession is for nutritional use or lawful use under the laws of a particular state."

This is more or less a simple substitution. It is absurd - but - it is also now precedent.
Do you agree or disagree with the Raich decision?
—Do you agree or disagree with the Raich decision?—
Well, it's sticky for me. It offends me that the government can regulate something that may grow wild in some areas. However, the way the laws are written I do believe the decision was within the constitution.
But I believe there is a chasm between the government preventing someone from doing something and forcing them to do something. Take the Jim Crow laws. In that case, the government said you could not discriminate based on race. The "kept them from doing something". But with affirmative action, it was not only the opposite (forcing them to do something) but was actually government forced racial discrimination (forcing businesses to hire or otherwise deal with certain people over others based solely on race). The former was "government permitted" discrimination while the latter was "government forced" discrimination.
It is disgusting.
I'm only surprised the bastards did not try to make the tax retroactive......
Check my prior links and learn.
What does the way the laws are written have to do whether Raich is within the Constitution or not?
You also just endorsed the New Deal Commerce Clause, which makes possible federal control of education, welfare, the environment, as well as health care.
Only Fox News covered this reality. Only the Tea Party raised h e double toothpicks about it.
I figured that was where you were going. Your question was so loaded I could smell the gunpowder. :-)
"However, the way the laws are written I do believe the decision was within the constitution."
That's an expression of contempt for the Constitution.

EDitor's UPDATE: Positive rating and recognition has been given to Federated Payment Systems for its high level of dedication to its customers, employees and extensive network of independent sales representatives.
Since 1999, Federated Payments remains the premier provider of credit card processing solutions and related merchant account services for independently owned businesses within the U.S. and Canada. They are 100% committed to their customers, employees and extensive network of outside sales representatives. Led by an Executive Team with more than 75 years combined experience in processing, Federated Payments enhances the way their customers, sales team and Independent Sales Offices do business.
Ripoff Report's discussions with Federated Payment Systems have revealed an ongoing commitment by the company to customer and employee satisfaction. [continued below]....
The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Greg Slote during an on-site inspection held by a third-party verification company with no biases toward Federated Payment Systems.
Ripoff Report Verified™ .. part of Ripoff Report Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation & Customer Satisfaction Program.A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business..
Federated Payment Systems is a credit card processing center and merchant account provider operating in both the United States and Canada. Their business model is to focus on improving the operating procedure of small to mid-size businesses by helping them save on operating costs while at the same time providing efficient and excellent customer service. Federated Payment Systems acquires leads through internet advertising and by purchasing targeted call lists in which their employees at the call center contact the potential clients. Once a client expresses interest, an appointment is set and confirmed and they will meet with a sales rep to review the services offered. All sales appointments are reported to and reviewed by the regional manager. Leads are also generated by client referrals and if any of those leads result in a sale, the client is paid a referral fee.
Once a sale is generated, the application is reviewed by the risks and underwriting department. Once approved, a welcome kit is sent out to the customer which includes operating instructions for the equipment. The equipment is then sent out to the client. The new system gets activated and tested. Customer service department is directly involved to handle any initial questions. Thereafter, clients can contact merchant support which is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
At times, a client may not feel satisfied with the product or services they received. Upon receiving a complaint from an unsatisfied client/customer, a representative from whichever department is involved will contact the customer. The supervisor from that same department well be informed of the complaint as well as all actions taken to rectify the situation. Recently, a client contacted Federated Payment Systems complaining that the equipment he was sent was very difficult to understand and to use. Federated Payment Systems, at its own expense, sent the client new equipment that was operated in a different manner which made it easier for the client to understand and use. This is not a common complaint, however. All equipment is thoroughly tested prior to being shipped.
Merchant support helps all new clients to operate and understand the equipment, therefore it is very rare that clients call to complain about the use and operation of the equipment. To resolve this issue, Federated Payment Systems immediately shipped the client new equipment. Merchant services followed up to ensure everything was working properly. The client was very pleased on how fast the situation was resolved. Once a client complaint is resolved they are sent a satisfaction survey. If any client fills out the survey and gives a rating which is below an outstanding receives a follow-up call by either customer support or merchant services. To ensure that a potential client fully understands all details and is fully aware of the company's processes, all new clients fill out the contract with a sales rep present to answer any questions. The client initials every page. Once the contract is complete, the client then reviews it and signs the last page in front of the sales rep.
Federated Payment Systems also has protocols in place for dealing with employees who may not be performing up to the expected standards to ensure that they are treated fairly, even if they need to be let go. When an employee is not performing up to standards or other work related problems are occurring, they are first given a verbal warning to get back on track. If that warning does not work they are then given a written warning. If they still do not improve, they are given a final warning. If all that fails, they are then terminated from employment. All employees are issued an employee handbook in which they must sign a "do not compete" order. If they violate that order, or if they are caught stealing customer information, they are terminated immediately.
In response to a complaint posted about Federated Payment Systems on Ripoff Report, Vice President of Marketing Greg Slote states that they have increased employee training and staff meeting. Additionally, all employees are instructed to make customer satisfaction their number one priority. Mr. Slote also recognizes the value of working with Ripoff Report and the Corporate Advocacy Business Remediation and Customer Satisfaction Program, and the platform it provides for businesses and clients to interact and resolve issues. "Federated Payment Systems appreciates the opportunity to remediate any complaint or issue that may arise from consumers, customers, clients or employees. [This program] allows the business to help resolve the problems."
FEDERATED PAYMENT SYSTEMS / Statements from the Senior VP of Sales Scott Avery
"Federated Payments is 100% dedicated to customer satisfaction and has made every possible effort to ensure that all customers, employees, and sales team members have a positive experience. At Federated Payments we make every effort to ensure that all customers are satisfied. Acknowledging issues from both customers, employees, and independent sales agents is critical to our growth and future success. It's important to make the proper adjustments and corrections quickly to eliminate any similar issues in the future. Our dedication and commitment to customers and agents always has and will continue to be the top priority and focus of our firm."
Scott Avery assured Ripoff Report that the business continues to refine their products and services to ensure the highest possible level of customer satisfaction.
In speaking with another member of the Federated Payment Systems' team, a regional sales manager, they confirmed Mr. Avery's thoughts, "Our goal is to provide our customers the best quality, value and professional excellence in the industry." Federated Payment Systems is dedicated to obtaining and listening to both customer and employee feedback. Federated Payment Systems systematically reaches out to its customers, employees, and sales team on a daily basis.
Federated Payment Systems' takes employee satisfaction just as seriously. One of Federated Payments' independent sales representatives recently informed us, "It is a pleasure to receive such support. My Regional Sales Manager and Sales Support team is there whenever I have questions or need help. Plus if any of my customers have any questions, they have round-the-clock world class live technical support."
Ripoff Report was pleased to learn that Federated Payment Systems is totally committed to merchant customer and employee satisfaction.
"At Federated Payment Systems, we have lengthened our initial sales training and instituted evening advanced trainings each week for our sales representatives so they can fully explain pricing, products and services to independent business owners in the U.S. and Canada.
Federated Payments has recently increased the size of our sales support team dedicated to answering any questions from our network of independent sales representatives quickly.
Federated Payments has added 10 customer service experts to help reduce hold times and provide the highest level of support in the U.S. and Canada. Each customer service rep undergoes a rigorous 5 week training program ensuring they are specialists in every product we sell or lease.
Federated Payments has upgraded our agent portal to make sure all sales representatives have the latest tools they need to efficiently and effectively manage each of their customer accounts.
Federated Payments proactively conducts what we call our "Merchant Check-up". On a quarterly basis, we reach out to all customers to review their accounts further ensuring we deliver the best customer service and technical support.
Federated Payments is constantly adding new programs and developing vendor partnerships to provide our merchant customers additional ways to grow their business and increase profits.
Because security is critical in our industry, Federated Payment Systems conducts criminal background checks on every single employee as well as all contracted sales representatives."
In summary, after our review and discussions with representatives of Federated Payment Systems and their customers, Ripoff Report is convinced that Federated Payment Systems is committed to quality delivery of services resulting in total client, employee and sale team satisfaction.

Merchant Services Canada Inc MSI, MSI Canada, Federated Payments Corp, Federated Payments Fraud Alert; Wrongful dismissal; Breach of Contract; Illegal business operations in Canada; Fraud; Failure to pay employees; Changing contract terms on customers Vancouver, Nationwide
I'd be careful before getting into to anything. I actually work for their biggest competitor, direct for the bank and through my employer, I found out some disturbing things, namely:
1. MSI, Merchant Services Inc all don't exist as companies anywhere in Canada. My employer has me working with their legal department to investigate this matter and void each of the contracts I signed and sign up with Moneris. This will be executed Nation Wide. MSI et al changed the contract terms for each and every one of my customers, numbering over 25 for a breach of contract in the millions of dollars.
2. MSI or Federated Payments is what they are calling themselves, failed to pay me and we are in adjudication with the Province of BC to get my owing commissions of over $11,000. They tried to dupe me and the province by trying to state that they signed a contract with my company, but issued me a T4A (Employee Statement of Self Employed Earnings). Oops! By BC Law, all self employed contractors are entitled to at least minimum wage if commissions are not sufficient to cover minimum wage levels. Plus, employers are required to pay vacation pay, termination pay and for stat holidays. The Strangest thing is that I signed my contract with MSI or Merchant Services Inc but my T4A came from Federated Payments. I don't think these guys really know what they are doing, just expoited our country and our people.
3. Failure to register a legal company within each province is illegal and having contracts signed with a false name is illegal as well. I actually spoke to the Vancouver Police fraud detective who is compiling evidence from me and Afftidavits from each of my customers to substantial criminal charges with the Crown Prosecutor. The owner won't be able to hide in the States if there is a criminal charge laid.
4. I will be filing a Wrongful dismissal, fraud, breach of contract statement of claim in Supreme Court here in BC and already filed in Ontario. In BC, I retained a lawyer who seems to think I have a solid case and is working on contingency for me.
5. I have complied a list of ALL employees in Canada of MSI which I have forwarded to the competition bureau and Employment Standards for further investigation. I am confident that presenting my evidence including signed contracts, Schedules, afftidavits from customers I will win my case both with Employment Standards and in Supreme Court of BC.
6. I've gone to so many sources including the CRA to investigate tax fraud, the competition bureau, industry canada, the Police, and most importantly the courts which should leave a public record of events which can be used as press releases in the future for all aliases in Canada and the US. I am also in the process of trying to get a fraud alert issued for employees, customers and businesses who can be affected by this company.
As you know, in this technology age, it is easy to go after a company from a multitude of angles. I will stop when they pay me what they owe me, plus damages and wrongful dismisall and contract breaches for my customers and myself. Ironically, I was on pace to make over $150K with them but now I will make even more working for a reputable company and directly for the bank.
Unfortunately, they found the wrong person to screw in me. I will fight this to the end and won't stop until justice is served. The longer this takes, the more damage inflicted to their reputation. Yes, I think all of my interviews are completed and my lawyer has a few thousand pages to sift through, thank goodness he is working on contingency and he will work with each of the parties involved to formulate a proper legal strategy in BC going forward. I'll keep the blog posted when I have time. I'm swamped working and signing deals (I actually average about 7 - 10 deals a week) so I have to do the litigation work in between.
But, mark my words, I will NEVER stop until Justice is served.

When an employee almost dies after being found the next morning, blood soaked in an elevator, after using drugs and alcohol in the Melville office with Scott Avery afterhours, you must believe something is wrong
As a former employee of this organization for MANY YEARS at an executive level, I can only agree with the negative remarks posted. Not only have I had a professional relationship with this organization, I have also had an extensive personal relationship with the individuals mention at this company. In the end, I was treated just like everyone else was; disposable.
No matter how good you are, how much revenue you earn them, how hard you work for them It will come to an end and they will fabricate anything to put the blame on the other party. This is a company who fired 20+ employees, just hours before a company Christmas party. This is a company who intentionally cuts off residual payments weeks before they vest for life to the agent. This is a company who will [and has] take away the livelihood of the most loyal of employees. All because they are greedy. CEO Jon Levitt says it best with his famous line, My kids eat first.
Jon Levitt recently terminated the #1 sales manager for the past 5 years, via a phone call from home, while the employee was at his desk working to earn this company more. This is a manager who has accounted for over 10,000 of their existing clients. Thats more than Scott Avery, VP, has even accounted for. All over a rumor that this individual was looking to advance his career else ware after CEO Jon Levitt stated, as long as L**** is employed at Federated, he will be a sales manager here. Period. Furthermore, they attempted to slander his name across the company after his dismissal rather than resolving the matter privately. This is an employee who would work 65+ hour weeks with no overtime; fueled by his dedication to the company.
They will attempt to discredit you: They will hypocritically denounce you. Calling you irresponsible, dishonest, or disloyal.
Then they use lines like: Just another case of a rep who cant close Just a guy mad that he cant sell - You violated your agreement ( usually based on fabricated info) to rebuttal any blogs like these.
They will tell you: We cant set appointments in your area anymore, its a bad area. (this is how they get you to perform below your contract requirements so they dont have to pay you anymore)
The bottom line at this company is the bottom dollar. I understand free enterprise, I appreciate capitalism, and yes I was part of this organization for a very long time.
Just remember EVERYONE IS DISPOSABLE at this company.

I was suspicious when they did not want me to call the customer prior to the appointment and make sure that they had the most recent copy of their statement and that they were expecting you.
I am filing a complaint with my provincial labor standards. I hope to at least get the minimum wages that are legally owed me.
I just chalk it up as a lesson learned. They are the most clever scam artists out there , preying on those who are unemployed and desperate. :(

great company to work for

SUBMITTED: Wednesday, November 03, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, November 03, 2010
I previously worked for them from 2008-2010. I was extremely please with all of the support and service they provided. When i first started as a sales rep, i was a bit nervous as it was all new to me. After a few weeks it took right off.
The reason I am posting this is because a friend of mine recently started with Federated and he happened to stumble upon this posting and I felt compelled to stand up for them and provide some good info about them. I even visited the office for a Christmas party and got to meet everyone. I was shocked to see over 400 people at this event.
I was always paid right on time and accurately. In fact, even after I left due to personal reasons I still continue to receive my monthly residual income right on time every month. My contract with them said I had to remain an active rep for at least one year and sell 2 account per month to receive ongoing residual income just like the person who started this post said too. I did my part and they held up to their end perfectly.
I have over 200 clients in the GTA Ontario area. I can honestly say 99.9% of them never have problems with the service. I have 1 person who had some trouble getting setup but that was because they were using a system that we informed them wouldnt work very well.
The best part about working for them the residual income. I havent been with them for 8 months now but still receive a direct deposit every month for just over $3800. they split the monthly revenue on the accounts i signed with them 50-50. i couldn't be happier as this income is going to be there for a long time. Bottom line, it is a great place to work and make a TON OF MONEY!
Hope this helps, Tim P. - GTA

Even if the decision maker is there-they use the quote as leverage with there current credit card processor-like Moneris to get them to lower there existing pricing. It's not different than you trying to switch phone,TV,insurance companies.They'll DO ANYTHING to keep you as a customer. They send you willy nilly over your territory with no regard to all the mileage and gas your using.They pay no auto allowance,draw,salary nothing.
You're not an employee just an independent contractor. This whole industry is very cutthroat.

Merchant Services Inc Canada aka MSI Canada fraud, unethical business practices
AUTHOR: xMSI - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 12, 2010POSTED: Saturday, June 12, 2010
I have over 14 people who have worked for MSI and have the same experiences as me.
1. Not getting paid.
2. Scooping agents with "ISO" agents to target customers already having rapport with you.
3. Changing contract terms.
4. Not honoring contracts with customers. I have over 26 such cases just in my file.
5. Misrepesenting themselves in Canada by using a PO Box located at A301 1 St Paul Street. Google Steet Map it.
6. Not having a valid corporate identity in Canada. Their legal entity is Federated Payments Corp. What the heck does Federated Payments have to do with MSI? They don't own MSI. They are not operating under MSI. All contracts signed between MSI and their customers is with Merchant Services Inc, which doesn't exist, which voids each and every contract in Canada from Coast to Coast. Every single customer was defrauded under these terms.
7. I am only after my wages and breaches of contract. I'll let the IRS (CRA in Canada), plus the Competition bureau and Industry Canada as well as other government bodies investigate this along with the Police fraud division.
8.The media and Associated Press will also be involved once my lawyer is ready to release the press release. My lawyer is also contacting the Ombudsman for banking and each of the major banks including all the main players in the processing industry here in Canada.
9. MSI or whatever they want to call themselves are simply a reseller of Global Payments which is a real player in the processing industry.
Let's see where all of this leaves the company in the coming weeks ahead.

It looks to me that you don't want justice - you are just trying to shake this company down for money.
I have worked for MSI and I can tell you my experiences with them are the complete opposite of the individual above. The customers I sold for them are happy with MSI's services. MSI saved them money on their credit card processing. I was paid fairly for the work I produced. I have spoken with other salespeople who worked for them and they are happy with the work they did and what they were paid.

Okay, so i'm using the theme 'Esquire'. I've manually installed the facebook comments code, however my posts are now showing both the facebook comments and wordpress comments. I only need facebook comments to show. I have disabled the settings in the admin panel and still they show. I have also tried deleting
<?php comments_template( '', false ); ?> but this deletes both FB and WP comments. Other than social WP plugins (which seem to all fail on WP 3.3.1) how can i fix this?

Hi Ladies,
I'm trying to dry up my milk supply after EBFing for the past 6 weeks. The last time I nursed was 12 hours ago and I'm in a lot of pain right now. I hear cabbage leaves can help reduce engorgement and to use ice packs and take ibuprofin. I'm wearing a sports bra right now to sleep in.
I'm in a lot of pain right now.. I just took a prescription ibuprofin so hopefully that will kick in soon. I don't want to pump because I don't want to signal that I need more milk to be made.
If I hand express milk to relieve a bit of pain, how long do I do that for?? Will that tell my body to make more milk? I want to do this as quick and painless as possible. I don't mind a little discomfort but this is miserable and I'm on the brink of tears and don't know how I'm going to sleep! I can't even hold LO right now because it hurts when anything touches my boobs!

Release Date:
September 28, 2004
This excellent documentary on one of America's most well-known national symbols was nominated for an Academy Award in 1985. Director (Ken Burns) details the perilous history of the Grand Dame, the difficulties in creating her in a Paris suburb and shipping her to New York, and then the heated arguments that arose Stateside as to whether or not she should even be set up in New York's harbor. Pity the dedicated French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi who created her with infinite care, a topic covered by photographs and narration in the first segment of the film. As famous immigrants comment on the meaning of the Statue of Liberty to themselves, it is noted that at the time of her inauguration in 1886 her 152-ft. height on top of a 150-ft. pedestal made her the tallest structure in the U.S. Director Burns quite fairly points out that to some Americans, including Afro-Americans, the Statue of Liberty does not necessarily raise her torch for everyone equally. Nevertheless, The Statue of Liberty is an entertaining documentary by any measure. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

I have used this glue for several repairs, auto and home. I like the small packaging as you don't need much and I hate wasting stuff.On another note. Please bring back the "I'd Rather Be Shopping At Harbor Freight" license frames. I liked giving them as gifts. You could offer them free with a purchase. Or charge $1.00 as you did before.And. Please offer a selection of ball peen hammers. You offer a 16ounce and a set of five. I don't need a 16 ounce or a set of five. Offer the hammers in the set of five individually.Keep up the good work. I enjoy shopping in your store and appreciated the attitude of your employees. I have been in several of your stores and ALL the employees are great.

This glue works about as well as any other super glue - which unfortunately is bit as well as they did "back in the day". However what this glue really excels at bonding is the cap on the tube. Other super glues seems to use a plastic that the glue won't bond to for the cap so it won't glue itself closed. In contrast, Harbor Freight uses a plastic that the glue excels at bonding, so consider these one-time use tubes.

Both handy to have around and useful for so many things. I have even super glued cuts on my fingers, eliminating the need for band-aids. Works well, and heals faster than with band-aids. Price is right, too. Great value.

excellent product
By Marsh
from Thousand Oaks, CA
Been using this glue for years. It is thick enough so that it will not run when gluing odd shaped pieces. Also does a great job when filling large voids, in my case up to about 1/16" gaps, possibly larger. Note also: This product stores well at -30F and remains usable after two years.
It's legit.

I only expect one use, or maybe multiple uses within a few hours, when I open one of these. That's true for the more expensive stuff elsewhere though, too, so why pay more. I stock up on a bunch of these whenever I get low--that is, I'll maybe go through 6 in a year, but they're great when you need them!

Anyone else using or considering switching to a toddler bed already? My son hates his crib, but falls right to sleep if we put him in a bed right now.
Anyone in a toddler bed already?
We just got kaycee sleeping in her crib a couple of months ago. SO says I can't buy another bed until we get our use out of this one lol I put my other two kids in beds early though.

We will be moving to a toddler bed soon. Hope Kalan is ready! LOL The only reason we are moving him is because I refuse to buy another crib and we are expecting soon. I'm actually very nervous about this because the only place he likes to sleep is his crib. And he will be moving rooms and beds.
We haven't even begun setting up his new room yet, and don't even have the new bed yet. But once it is set up, I plan on starting him out with playing in the room and napping in the bed. I'm not too concerned if he's not moved by the time the baby arrives. I would like him to be, but I don't think that is realistic. I just want to slowly get him used to it if that's what it takes. Also, since our bedrooms are upstairs and he has to walk past the steps to get to our room (and the hallway turns right after the steps so if he turned too soon, he'd be down the stairs) I will be putting a gate up in his doorway. That way I don't have to shut his door but he still can't get out.
I hope the transition goes well!!
Mommy to Kalan (33wkr on 9/7/07) and Irelyn Grace (full term VBAC 3/17/09)
We converted her crib recently and it's going ok. She hates naps though,always has. That sometimes makes it rough to keep her there.
Sorry if you have mistaken me for someone who cares. If anything I have written is misspelled, TUFF. Just fire up that second brain cell and DEAL!
Jack actually just started sleeping in his crib about two months ago also, ha ha ha. He never really liked it, but finally gave in. Then recently at daycare he started napping on a cot, and no more cribs. So now he definately does not want anything to do with the crib at all.
We are going to be starting a bed in the next couple of weeks. Mainly b/c we're expecting our second in May and also b/c I've heard the longer you wait, the more attached some kids get to their cribs makeing the transition much more diificult. DS will also be moving rooms which we've been talking about. I want to do it by the end of Jan, so we'll see how it goes.
We've been in the toddler bed for months now. He never really slept in his crib, and still comes in with us to cosleep half way through the night to nurse. So as soon as I wean from night nursing, he should sleep in it all night. But we will see. Good luck though!

Wow, toddler bed already?
My friend gave us a nice toddler bed. We have to put it in her playroom because there is no room in her bedroom. I am hoping she'll be in the toddler bed soon. But with her little hands getting into everything, I'm afraid she'll roam around and get into trouble. Right now, the safest place is her crib. Until she climbs out of the crib, I'll just leave her in there.
totallybeeg- Same here. Until DD can escape from her crib she will stay in it! Her room is babyproofed but it still makes me nervous...

We just moved Brett 2 nights ago to his toddler bed and I am nervous about him and he is 2 1/2!!! It is going well though and he still wasn't climbing out of his crib but we thought it was time. Breanna will probably wait until 2 or 3 also.

Jeff Flake-Richard Carmona Match-Up Closer Than Flake Versus Don Bivens, Poll Says
According to a new survey by North Carolina-based Public Policy Polling, Arizona Democrats might actually have a shot at beating Republican golden-boy Congressman Jeff Flake in the 2012 race to replace U.S. Senator Jon Kyl.
If they nominate former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona instead of ex-Arizona Democratic Party Chair Don Bivens, that is.
Though the poll shows Flake with massive name recognition and considerable appeal among Dems, it also reveals that Carmona, who served as Surgeon General under President George W. Bush, comes within four percentage points of tying Flake in a hypothetical match-up, 40-36.
Whereas Bivens trails Flake by 10 points, 42-32. The poll's margin of error is plus or minus 4.4 percent.

TicketsTue., Sep. 6, 6:30pm
Carmona, 62, is a former Special Forces medic, a Vietnam Veteran, and the recipient of the Purple Heart and the Bronze Star. Originally from New York City and of Puerto Rican heritage, he also served as a deputy sheriff in Pima County, and moved back to Tucson after leaving the Bush administration.
The poll shows Carmona to have crossover appeal with Rs, despite being openly critical of the Bush administration after his Surgeon General gig. Carmona complained of being censored by the Bush White House, which, he said, stifled statements he wished to make about stem cell research and second-hand smoke.
A self-described "radical centrist," Carmona's name has been floated in the past as a possible GOP candidate for various political offices. He was recruited by Dems to seek the party's 2012 Senate nod.
By comparison, Bivens is perceived by many Ds as a weak candidate, alienated from the grass roots of the party due to an aloof leadership style during his tenure as state party chair.
On the Republican side, Flake is being challenged by dark horse Wil Cardon, a baby-faced neophyte with stacks of cash.
Cardon differentiates himself from the Congressman by asserting that he's a true-blue Mexican-basher, unlike Flake, who not too long ago carried the banner of Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
In any case, Cardon looks like a Buzz Mills in the making. Democrat-wise, Bivens is a mat-kisser only other deep-pocket lawyers could get giddy over.
Flake-Carmona? Well, at least according to PPP's Director Tom Jensen, that head-to-head might offer us some drama.
In a statement accompanying the poll results, Jensen writes:
"With the Senate landscape in 2012 offering Democrats few opportunities for offense these numbers suggest Arizona may provide the party's 3rd best chance of picking up a GOP held seat next year, behind only Massachusetts and Nevada."
Stranger things have happened, particularly in Sand Land of late.

Miskolc Travel Guide: 57 reviews and 169 photos
Everything I read about Miskolc before I went there was not very good, but I liked it.
Whilst I have to admit I used Miskolc as a base to visit other places in northern Hungary like Eger and Lillafured, I really enjoyed Miskolc in its own right.
It has a fine main street (Szechenyi ut.) which is pedestrianised (apart from the trams ...) with lots of shops and cafe/bars -- it's a busy city, but not too big.
My plan to use it as a base to visit other places worked well, but it was nice to come back to Miskolc in the evenings.

Doesn't look so bad to me either, though maybe you just make it look pretty with your well taken photos ;)
Paul, another very interesting page about this off the beaten path destination in Hungary. I especially like the Narrow guage train.
Miskolc seems an interesting place. I've passed many times nearby but never stopped. I should do it next time.
I just decided to go there: Narrow gage railway and Hungary's first foundry, cages and spa's, sounds great :-) And a beautful railway station!

Nielsen ratings: CBS dominates week, led by '60 Minutes,' 'NCIS'
The Associated Press
CBS had little competition for dominance last week in the television ratings.
The network had 17 of the 25 most-watched programs on the air last week, according to the Nielsen company. It beat second-place NBC by an average of nearly 4 million viewers a night, and also took the 18-to-49-year-old demographic that advertisers seek.
"60 Minutes" and "NCIS" were the most popular shows on CBS last week. As is typical in the fall, NBC's "Sunday Night Football" matchup was the week's most-watched show.
One end-of-year tradition, Barbara Walters' survey of the year's most popular personalities, finished No. 27 in the week's ratings with 7.6 million viewers.
On cable, Showtime's "Dexter" and "Homeland" both hit series records for their season finale episodes Sunday. "Dexter" had 2.8 million viewers and "Homeland" 2.3 million. Showtime preceded each episode with a disclaimer, warning that audiences might find the shows too intense so soon after the Connecticut school killings.
CBS averaged 11.9 million viewers for the week in prime time. NBC had 7.3 million, ABC 5.1 million, Fox 4.4 million, the CW 1.7 million and ION Television 1.3 million. Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with an average of 3.2 million viewers.
NBC's "Nightly News" topped the evening newscasts with an average of 9.4 million viewers.
Prime-time viewership numbers compiled by Nielsen for Dec. 10-16. Listings include the week's ranking and viewership.
1. "Sunday Night Football": San Francisco at New England, NBC, 23.23 million
2. "60 Minutes," CBS, 19.63 million
3. "NCIS," CBS, 17.65 million
4. "The Big Bang Theory," CBS, 16.74 million
5. "NCIS: Los Angeles," CBS, 15.12 million
6. "Sunday Night NFL Pre-Kick," NBC, 14.62 million
7. "Person of Interest," CBS, 14.08 million
8. "Two and a Half Men," CBS, 13.34 million
9. "The Voice" (Monday), NBC, 12.33 million
10. "Criminal Minds," CBS, 12.01 million

caption, the {
text-align: center;
When I draft a post and preview it, the image has a border and the caption is centered....Good! However, when I look at published posts, they have no border and the caption is aligned to the left. Is there another file I need to modify to get the image border to show and have the caption centered?
Many thanks,

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I know my friend is not the only victim of this licensed butcher, but he has money to burn, so he throws enough of it at lawyers to cover up his worst mistakes. Any other doctor who had his record of ruining innocent lives with poor procedures would no longer be allowed to practice medicine anymore. My friend's endured dozens of corrective surgeries she's had to pay for out of pocket, and the doctors who are fixing his shoddy work are always amazed at how incompetent his work was. [continued below]....
Judge Leslie C. Nichols fixed the trial for his friend George that would have and should have resulted in some relief for my friend. There is nothing more dangerous than a doctor who is above the law and immune to the civil channels of relief friends like mine rely on as victims. Medical malpractice trials are difficult to prosecute as it is without judicial corruption and doctors like Commons escaping culpability because of biased rulings.
Commons operated on my friend's knees for no reason, without her consent. There was nothing wrong with her knees at all, and he did such incredible damage that she now experiences constant pain. Her suffering is brutal to witness, and because of this absolutely unfounded and unauthorized surgery her kneecaps frequently get dislocated. She also had large X marks carved into her hips. Other doctors have no clue why Dr. Commons or any other surgeon would engage in these procedures and do such severe harm. Commons essentially amputated part of her calves, and she has had to go to other countries to get artificial injectable implants to fill in the large concave areas. Her calves were perfect and beautiful, and they should not have been touched
Judge Nichols made things much worse for my friend by turning a blind eye on the evidence presented in the case. This judge was obligated to consider all the records showing all the wrong operations done on my friend. He saw pictures of the awful injuries my friend sustained, injuries the opposing counsel never disputed by presenting any evidence of their own. Even the statement written for the court by Dr. Commons shouldn't have been enough to sway any judge to rule against my friend. "I didn't think I did anything wrong," was all the doctor said to defend himself of the charges. Apparently the opinion of a friend means more to Judge Nichols than the pain and suffering of a victim.
Judge Nichols treated my friend like she was the defendant in the case and forced her to pay all of his friend's legal fees. His corruption was unconscionable and left my friend victimized once more by the very justice system that was supposed to protect her. He even went as far as requiring my friend to remain quiet about her ordeal and prevented her from warning others about the worst Dr. Commons could do. More of his victims will suffer now even after trying to check out his background online like many potential patients do before surgery. The First Amendment simply doesn't exist in this judge's corrupt courtroom. He simply swept the whole problem under the rug to protect his pal and left my friend's life in shambles as a result, her constant suffering magnified by the fact that seeking justice proved so futile. Judge Nichols made sure to rig the entire trial, corrupting my own lawyers to work against me in the process. No witnesses were allowed to testify, no jury was allowed to hear the case, and my friend got no opportunity to have a fair hearing on her grievances.
My friend's had to shed so many tears and endure so many days filled with tremendous pain shooting through her body because of this awful experience. The doctor's used his money and connections to erase the truth about what happened. He's made my friend's mental pain just as bad as the physical ailments she suffers because of his butchery. The fact that Dr. Nichols actually teaches future patients at Stanford only makes things worse. This is not an example any young surgeon should be following or looking up to. This man is absolute scum who should not be able to ruin any more lives like he was able to ruin my friend's life.
I have known my friend nearly all her life. She was a strong, happy, and dedicated young lady before Dr. Commons came into her life. His crude cuts transformed her into a physical and emotional wreck. Her strength has been sapped by his relentless attempts to keep her quiet at any cost, and his actions to corrupt the judicial system victimize her more with each passing day. She must wake up every day to confront the fact that this man cannot be held responsible in a court of law for what he did to do so much injury to such an innocent person. Seeing what she goes through in being forced to endure this ordeal makes me convinced that the only way to bring this man to justice is to let him be tried in the court of public opinion. Please help spread the word about Dr. Commons and Judge Nichols and their egregious abuses. Please do not let what happened to my friend happen to any future victims who might be fooled by Dr. Commons' fabricated and whitewashed "clean" record as a surgeon and Judge Nichols' biased and corrupt judicial practices.

To take off from the ground, an airplane must reach a
sufficiently high speed. The velocity required for the takeoff, the
takeoff velocity, depends on several factors, including the weight
of the aircraft and the wind velocity.
1.A plane accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 5.00 along a runway that is 1800 long. Assume that the plane reaches the required takeoff velocity at the end of the runway. What is the time needed to take off?26.83s
2.What is the speed of the plane as it takes off? 134m/s
3.What is the distance traveled by the plane in the first second of its run?2.5m
4.What is the distance traveled by the plane in the last second before taking off?132m
5.What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway???
