IBM's New IT Standards Policy: ISO Is Not Exclusive
IBM declared in a new corporate policy that it was establishing new IT standards and redefining its ties with the International Standards Organization (ISO). If developing countries want to develop their own standards, IBM is willing to support them. Ramifications are clear regarding the turbulent debate around acceptance of Microsoft's Open Office XML (OOXML) data format.
The new IBM standards are effective immediately, according to a recent press release. Big Blue states that its membership in the standards bodies is essentially on trial and that it will take "necessary actions." The company emphasizes the importance of open standards and characterizes them as vital for open development and worldwide trade. The press release contains five tenets for the new policy. Attentive observers of the controversy around ISO certification of Microsoft's OOXML data format should not have a hard time making the necessary inferences: the first tenet basically declares that their participation in standards bodies is questionable "based on the quality and openness of their processes, membership rules, and intellectual property policies." ISO certification of OOXML ended up in a heated battle among international delegates, with many voting against. Among the sharpest critics was IBM delegate Rob Weir, who railed against the process in his blog.
IBM's second policy tenet encourages developing countries "to both adopt open global standards and to participate" in their creation. The ISO delegates from Brazil, India, South Africa and Venezuela had petitioned against ISO's decision and in favor of the OOXML standard. After rejection by the ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), delegates voiced concern that the appeal would have been different coming from the industrialized nations. Ideas also circulated about forming independent standards bodies outside ISO or IEC. A thinly veiled broadside came from another of IBM's tenets on how standards should be set: to "advance governance rules within standards bodies that ensure technology decisions, votes, and dispute resolutions are made fairly by independent participants, protected from undue influence."
IBM further addressed intellectual property rights and promised to set a good example: "IBM's new standards policy promotes simplified and consistent intellectual property practices, and emphasizes that all stakeholders, including the open source community and those in growth markets, should have equal footing as they participate in the standards process."
The company states that their principles were inspired by six weeks of open discussion in the spring of 2008. In May and June, IBM invited 70 "independent, forward-thinking experts" from academia, government, industry, public policy, and standard-setting bodies to engage in a wiki forum discussion about whether the standard setting bodies have "kept pace" with today's realities.
In November, IBM plans an invitation-only summit under the auspices of Yale University to "flesh out" recommendations from the debate.
Nobody needs ISO, or the german DINThe same is valid w.r.t the german DIN (german industry norms). They had the same problem with not enough chairs for adversaries at meetings, and the final decision in favor of M$-OOOOXS was made in a manner 'not to allow any recourse in order to acertain favorable results and not to permit prolongation of that'.
I make an own distro - SYS - and I'm systematically throw out everything what have to do with the DIN or too much with ISO. We are open source, not privat corruption/interests.
Maybe we can go back to EBCDICThat might be a good plan, let the disgruntled members force through a batch of silly standards (like the joke RFCs) mocking the whole process.
Maybe we can go back to EBCDIC!!!!!!
Some one had to do itThere is no need to destroy the whole ISO, only the area of IT standards needs to be broken away.
All that is needed is for the EU to support this initiative from IBM and ignore all ISO IT branch totally.
Why the EU? because the US lost its credibility and the EU has many more members and lately seems to work much better as an entity than the United States.
The new initiative should adopt all good IT standards that are already in place and beneficial and throw away anything else that is just there for nothing.
The whole IT industry is turning away from from MS and it will eventually be left alone to twiddle their thumbs. MS should be careful. Better behave yourself or reap the consequences.
good to hear!Now we need the international community to join in.. i also suspect once enough pressure is put on the ISO.. ( thru making them irrelevant ) they will atleast on the surface try to change... im sort of glad that this happened though... it brought the the surface or atleast to more of the public what goes on in these so called "standard" setting proceedings..
We don't need no stinkin' ISOOutstanding! This is just what it's going to take. Now if only someone else can have the courage to join in.
Once you make ISO look vulnerable and unnecessary, I'll bet we'll see a whole different behavior.
Good luck to IBM. I know I'll get criticized for supporting someone that's proprietary to determine IT industry standards, but how is ISO and different? We know they're owned.
ISO. The best standards that m$... er, I mean, MONEY can buy.

Does anyone have directions on how to make a bride and groom out of gumpaste or fondant?
This is sort of on topic...
For the heads, I really recommend Karen Davies face moulds. You can get them from Global Sugar Art. She has a round mould that has 5 different face sizes so you can do babies to adults. I know it's a mould, but it looks so much better than my home made ones do. The boy with the frogs and the bride and groom for the fire truck cake, and the pregnant lady that I did are all made with that mould.

Tech News on G4
Revelations goes big and goes home
Jun 20, 2013
By Daniel Barron - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- Daniel Barron column archive
Something awful happened to Resident Evil: Revelations from the time it was ported from the Nintendo 3DS to home consoles. This is still essentially the same game that first appeared on Nintendo's handheld - and it certainly has some superb moments - but bringing it to a larger screen has only exacerbated the issues it does have.
Like Resident Evil 4 before it, Revelations does a solid job of melding quiet, atmospheric gameplay that the series was originally known for, with some high octane action sequences. It seemed to work well when the game was first released in 2012, but upon a second playthrough, several problems become abundantly clear.
The story begins strongly enough, with the opening set on a massive cruise ship that has long been out of use. It's very reminiscent of the mansions many Resident Evil fans have come to know in love in previous games in the series.
Players will take control of several characters at different points throughout the campaign, including series favourites Jill Valentine and Chris Redfield. The plot is slightly less convoluted than those told in other Resident Evil games, but that isn't saying much. The story involves a terrorist organization called Veltro doing what terrorist organizations do best, and the BSAA (Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance) trying to stop it.
Although you virtually always have a partner shooting alongside you in Revelations, he or she is strictly an AI-controlled character, so don't expect the co-operative gameplay with a friend that was featured in Resident Evil 5 and 6.
Sadly, both friendly and enemy AI leave something to be desired. Many enemies are bullet sponges that move slowly and simply aren't particularly fearsome, and while certain baddies provide some decent scares, the experience of encountering them is ruined by the cheap one-hit kills they can pull off a little too easily.
And don't expect a lot of help from your partner, whoever it may be at any given point in the game. You really can't do much interacting with them (such as exchanging items), and the most they typically do to help out is shoot a few bullets here and there. Even then, they aren't always reliable. There was one encounter in particular where a miniboss was bearing down on me in an enclosed area, and my partner simply refused to shoot his shotgun.
The best moments in Revelations really are the quiet ones. The sound and camera angles really add to the atmosphere, and Capcom wasn't shy about taking advantage of blind corners and distant sound effects to give off a creepier vibe.
As expected, the boss fights are much louder and in-your-face, and while there's typically nothing wrong with that, most bosses in Revelations really aren't that inspired. There's one early on in the campaign who appears in a truly terrifying fashion (I still get goosebumps whenever I hear "mayday"), and the battle itself is spectacular, but it's the exception to the rule it seems. It's a shame, because the series can boast some legitimately memorable moments against end-level enemies.
While the monotony of being stuck in one environment (the cruise ship) is broken up through playable flashback levels set in different places, the game still tends to drag on in the later hours of the campaign. There's a tad too much backtracking, and that gets compounded if you want to acquire all the special items in the game. Add in a terrible map, and it's easy to get frustrated. And don't even get me started on swimming levels.
The game is slick enough in the graphics department, but again, it's almost as if having Revelations displayed on a smaller handheld screen made it more pleasing to the eye. This is far from the system-pushing graphics that were on display in Resident Evil 5.
Even the addition of a full controller with two analog sticks does little to make a case for choosing the home console version of Revelations. Although the 3DS version could take advantage of the system's circle pad pro add-on, the controls were perfectly fine with the one analog stick.
A saving grace for the game is the co-operative multiplayer Raid Mode. It was included in the 3DS version, and while it was perfectly serviceable, it left something to be desired. Revelations takes advantage of all the power and speed of the PSN (or Xbox Live) service to make for a more compelling multiplayer component.
Raid Mode has two players (you can also play solo) teaming up to take on waves of enemies in environments that are taken straight from the campaign, in bite-sized chunks.
It's similar to, though not nearly as strategic or enjoyable as the series' more well-known, Mercenaries Mode. In Raid Mode, there is no time limit. You simply outfit yourself with weapons and powerups, and attempt to survive to the end of the level.
There really isn't much to the Raid Mode, although it has a certain addictiveness to it. A lot can change depending on what level you choose and who you're teamed up with (it can be extremely easy or deliciously difficult depending on both these factors), but it's reassuring to know that with a mode that only requires you to be teamed up with one other player, it never takes more than about a minute (usually much less) to get a new game going.
One downside is that for the player who has no interest in the campaign, they'll be out of luck, because in order to open levels, you're required to complete campaign chapters. There are three campaign difficulties, and subsequently, three multiplayer difficulties.
Even with the sometimes glaring issues in Revelations, it's still head-and-shoulders above Resident Evil 6, which, we admit, really isn't saying much.
It may not be quite the near-masterpiece it was on the Nintendo 3DS, but series fans are all but certain to have a good time here. Those gamers who simply appreciate a creepy campaign will find a lot to like here as well.

Xylem-specific and tension stress-responsive coexpression of KORRIGAN endoglucanase and three secondary wall-associated cellulose synthase genes in aspen trees
- First Online:

In nature, angiosperm trees develop tension wood on the upper side of their leaning trunks and drooping branches. Development of tension wood is one of the straightening mechanisms by which trees counteract leaning or bending of stem and resume upward growth. Tension wood is characterized by the development of a highly crystalline cellulose-enriched gelatinous layer next to the lumen of the tension wood fibers. Thus experimental induction of tension wood provides a system to understand the process of cellulose biosynthesis in trees. Since KORRIGAN endoglucanases (KOR) appear to play an important role in cellulose biosynthesis in Arabidopsis, we cloned PtrKOR, a full-length KOR cDNA from aspen xylem. Using RT-PCR, in situ hybridization, and tissue-print assays, we show that PtrKOR gene expression is significantly elevated on the upper side of the bent aspen stem in response to tension stress while KOR expression is significantly suppressed on the opposite side experiencing compression stress. Moreover, three previously reported aspen cellulose synthase genes, namely, PtrCesA1, PtrCesA2, and PtrCesA3 that are closely associated with secondary cell wall development in the xylem cells exhibited similar tension stress-responsive behavior. Our results suggest that coexpression of these four proteins is important for the biosynthesis of highly crystalline cellulose typically present in tension wood fibers. Their simultaneous genetic manipulation may lead to industrially relevant improvement of cellulose in transgenic crops and trees.

Mr Lau Chi Yuen (B.Sc., P.C.Ed., M.Sc., M.Ed.) Email: email@example.com
Principal's Message
Good Morning, Colleagues and Students,
Welcome back to school. This is the first day we meet again after a long summer vacation. I would like to wish everybody a fruitful year to come, improvement and good health.
As this is the beginning of a new school year, let me introduce our new teachers to you all. First, we have Mr Brian A. Dietrich. He is our school's new Native-speaking English teacher. Another teacher is Mr 黃新禧. He will be teaching PE in place of Mr 林啓超during his sick leave. We also have Ms 鍾秀梅 teaching Chinese in place of Ms 劉彩英 during her sick leave. There are two new teaching assistants. They are Mr 鄭栢軒 and Ms 潘嘉恩.
It's Tanghin's 35th year. For the past 34 years, the school has been providing students with an all-round education, laying equal emphasis on the five aspects: moral, intellectual, physical, social and aesthetic development. With the joint efforts of both teachers and students, our achievements in various areas of education are encouraging. To celebrate the 35th Anniversary of our school, we have adopted the slogan, 「承基建業 振翅高飛」"Fly High, See Wide, Strive for a New Climb." With 35 years' arduous efforts, our school grew from an entirely unimpressive estate school to one that earned territory-wide appreciation and recognition, and secured a place among the top schools. Yet, this is not a time to rest on our laurels. We have to pass the spirit on. We will continue to climb high and make breakthroughs. There will be a chain of celebration activities including two academic talks. We have invited Professor Chu Ming Chung from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Department of Physics, to be our guest speaker. The topic is「由觀星開始——一位物理學家的成才之路」 Another guest speaker is Professor Ng Mee Kam, from the Department of Geography and Resource Management, also the Chinese University of Hong Kong. She will talk about「規劃我城——新舊共融 理想家園」Besides academic talks, we will organize a fund-raising walkathon, Open Days, an anniversary feast and an evening variety show, etc. We look forward to your active participation in all these. More, we have designed our 35th Anniversary Edition T-shirt and the commemorative version of single-line paper which will be available for sale in due course. Meanwhile, we are preparing for the issue of our School Magazine's Special Edition.
In the fifth HKDSE, our students' performance is still satisfying, though the average credit percentage suffers a slight drop. The average pass rate of all the subjects this year is 100. 85.4% of the students attained an average of Level 4 or above while Hong Kong's average is only 34.9%. 96.57% of our students fulfilled the University Admission Requirement (i.e. 「3322」 or above for the core subjects, plus Level 「2」or above in one elective subject), while Hong Kong's average is 36.3%. 84.57% of the students attained Level 4 or above in 5 subjects, while Hong Kong's average is only 20.2%. 97.14% were offered a seat in a university degree programme through the Jupas System. On average, each student attained 0.4 (Level 5**), 0.94 (Level 5*), 1.54 (Level 5), and 2.51 (Level 4). 50.86% of our students were admitted into the 3 top universities in Hong Kong, namely The University of Hong Kong (HKU), The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CU) and the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST). As we can see, our students' performance is rather outstanding among all the schools in Hong Kong. Yet we must not be complacent. Instead, it is time for evaluation so as to make further progress. To be frank, our students' performance in this year's DSE is not as satisfying as that of the previous years. Some set rather low demand on themselves. Some started working hard too late. In the end, they could not be offered a place they preferred in the university and some even did not get any offer. They regretted not having done enough but it's no use crying over spilt milk. So we should know the importance of hard work. Don't idle away your time. Face your own limitations and find ways to fix them as early as possible.
In the non-academic aspects, our school managed to have a balanced development. In the World Rope-skipping Championships 2016 held in Sweden, 10 of our students were in the team representing Hong Kong and they were all awarded medals in recognition of their brilliant performance. In fact, our students' sterling performances in different areas have won for our school numerous awards which testify to our students' all-round abilities and tenacity.
The Rio de Janeiro Olympics has been over. I would like to have some sharing with you about it.
The Olympics is a platform that exhibits the competition between powers, the trial of confidence, the fruit of teamwork and the harvest of long-term preparation. It is also an ideal setting for the development of friendship. We have a Chinese saying, 「台上一分鐘,台下十年功」which means 'It takes years of hard work and practice to put on a wonderful performance.' Every athlete we saw on the sports-ground has been through years of harsh training and paid great efforts. But in this year's contests, we witnessed that some shed joyful tears for their success; some felt disappointed and put the blame on others; some persevered towards their target despite their injuries while some, even though lost, got the peace of mind as they have already tried their best. Can we derive something enlightening from these scenes?
In academic pursuit, we experience incessant competitions, successes, failures and then we pull ourselves together and start all over again. In life, it's the same. To be the winner, we may get some inspirations from the Olympics.
- Target and Resolve
Before the Olympics, some countries focused on one thing: becoming the champion country in terms of the number of medals. To reach this target, coaches and athletes had their lives around plans, strategies and training. They literally ate, breathed and slept their sport. Their minds were obsessed with a single purpose: to be the world's best. The same spirit can be applied to studies. As students, we should also set for ourselves a high but reachable target, have an implementation plan and work with resolve towards it.
- Know your Strengths and Weaknesses
No one is a born champion; the athletes are no exception. Their competitive edge is truly a result of long-term practice, the readiness to take the advice of their coaches, and the drive to maximize their strengths and fix their weaknesses. In fact, everybody has his own strengths and weaknesses. If we can do constant self-reflection, target our weak areas and make improvement, we can also give full play to our potential and attain success. On the other hand, some students are unwilling to change, indifferent to teachers' advice, indulge in bad habits and incapable of self-reflection. They don't realize that they are actually damaging themselves and the impact can be far-reaching.
- Mutual Support and Collaboration
In the Olympics, there are individual events and team events. Team events require the cooperation and mutual support among team members. Every member should play a contributing role to the team. Individual glorification is not encouraged as it may have a negative impact on team performance. On the other hand, though individual events don't involve any team work, the athletes often benefit from the cheering and encouragement of their supporters and have their level of performance enhanced. What can we make out of this? We learn that in the process of learning, if we can have more cooperation, mutual assistance, discussion and sharing with our schoolmates, we can surely learn better. As the Chinese saying goes, 「事半功倍」 'We can pay less, but gain more.'
- Perseverance
Hong Kong cyclist Sarah Lee Wai-sze was the hope of Hong Kong for the gold medal. She herself also aspired for it. However, she was crashed out of the women's keirin semi-final at the Rio Olympics after she was hit on the elbow by her Australian opponent, Anna Meares and ended up sprawling on the track. When Meares took bronze in the event, Lee came up to her with her heartfelt congratulations. When asked about her disappointment in the keirin, Lee generously claimed that it was only an accident. She said, 'After all, Anna took bronze and it's a compensation for my crash!' In the following women's cycling sprint, she faced off against Meares and successfully beat her as well as other opponents, and got into the quarter final despite her injuries. After the showdown, Lee Wai-sze and Anna Meares clasped hands and the scene won thunderous applause from the audience for their sportsmanship. Lee's story enlightens us. Like Lee Wai-sze, we may encounter adversities in life or in study. We should not fear injuries or failures. Never easily give up. Stand up where you fall. 'Trial and error' is the mother of success. This has been true from time immemorial.
- Fair Play
Fair play is a prerequisite for any competition. That's why we need to have 'head referees' and 'sampling mechanisms' to guarantee it. In this year's Olympics, some athletes were disqualified because of jumping the gun or failing the doping test. Justice was upheld. Similarly, in our daily life, whether we are talking about study or our personal behavior, we value honesty and despise cheating. We compete with our true ability and place our trust in a fair and socially-recognized system.
The founder of the Modern Olympic Games Pierre de Coubertin once said, "The day when a sportsman stops thinking above all else of the happiness in his own effort and the intoxication of the power and physical balance he derives from it, the day when he lets considerations of vanity or interest take over, on this day his ideal will die." For study, it's the same. We should learn to enjoy the pleasure of learning, instead of just fixing our eyes on examination contents. We should actively pursue knowledge instead of being bound by textbooks or examination papers. Don't waste time! Don't waste life!
34 years' struggle puts Tang Hin among the most prestigious secondary schools in Hong Kong. Our achievements certainly does not stem from a piece of luck. It's the fruit of resolve, perseverance and perspiration. It's the beginning of our school's 35th year. I hope you can pass on the unfaltering spirit, set higher targets and have a solid plan to realize them. And I'm sure all of you will grow up to be leaders of tomorrow.
Thank you!
Lau Chi Yuen

Everybody loves a great personal reinvention story. It's our second favorite after poor guy becomes billionaire (or wins the lottery) kind of story.
Paul Ryan, cast as the granny starving, "health care is a privilege" Republican guy, has reinvented his public persona as a guy who can feel your pain.
The man who has never held a private sector job, except a summer stint at fast food restaurant in high school, wants us to know that he knows what it is to be down and out, because he talked to a half-dozen poor people.
Hooray! You say. Sister Simone and the Council of U.S. Bishops finally turned Paul Ryan's heart. The Catholic boy won the internal personal war against the Ayn Rand acolyte!
Yeah, no.
This reinvention is just as fake as that soup kitchen, pot scrubbing photo op. Just as phony as his marathon race time.
With a new book to sell, Paul Ryan wants us to know he's human. Not just human, Paul Ryan is misunderstood, too. See, it's not his ideas that are callous, it's the presentation of his ideas - like everybody misunderstood what he meant by "takers" and "inner-city" men.
Emo Paul Ryan, cool haircut, same guy.

Charles Lamb
Established in 1839, the pub was renamed by the new owners in 2005 in honour of Charles Lamb, the late 18th/early 19th century English essayist who lived in nearby Colebrooke Row. Best known for his collected essays entitled 'Essays of Elia', published in 1823, he also provided the name for the road on which the pub stands ("Elia" being the pen-name Lamb used as a contributor to The London Magazine).
The Regent's Canal
Constructed between 1812 and 1820, it runs from Paddington to the Thames at Limehouse in East London, and passes through Regent's Park, Camden and Islington. The towpath walk is lovely in all seasons: get off the streets and see some wildlife! The Angel Canal Festival takes place nearby in September. The Colebrooke Row exit, at the end of the Islington Tunnel, is only a few paces from the Charles Lamb Pub.
Camden Passage Antiques Market
The antiques market in Camden Passage (just off Islington High St) takes place every Wednesday and Saturday from 8am to 4pm. There are specialists in Art Deco, Victoriana, Watercolours, Clocks & Watches, Vintage Clothes and much, much more. The book market is on Thursdays. A well kept secret, bargains can still be found here, despite the fact that the market has been established for many decades!
Sadler's Wells Theatre
Built on the site of a popular spa, there has been a theatre here since the late 1600s. In the 1930s, 'The Wells' became the home of Britain's first serious ballet company. It was totally rebuilt as a state-of-the-art modern facility in 1998. As well as dance and ballet, the theatre runs a diverse programme from opera and theatre to circus and pantomime. Situated in Rosebery Avenue, a short walk from the Charles Lamb Pub.
The Old Red Lion Theatre
The Old Red Lion Theatre Pub has played host to some of Britain's most exciting theatrical talent since it was founded in 1979. Under the Artistic Direction of Charlie Hanson it became a place for actors, directors, designers , writers and technicians to experiment and thrive with their art. Threatened with closure in 1987, the theatre was saved by fundraising efforts. The Old Red Lion Theatre is in St John Street, only a 3-minute walk from the Charles Lamb Pub.
The Screen on the Green
Facing Islington Green, the Screen is one of London's best remaining examples of a purpose-built Edwardian cinema, and Islington's last independent cinema. It first opened its doors in 1911 as 'The Picture House'. With a single screen, the modern cinema seats 293 and runs an eclectic programme of old and new, English language and foreign films with subtitles.
The King's Head Theatre
Founded in 1970 by the late Dan Crawford, the King's Head has seen countless stars of contemporary theatre tread the boards and has attracted many of the country's top directors and writers. It has faced closure on more than one occasion only to be rescued by the efforts of its many supporters. An Islington institution, the King's Head can be found in Upper Street, a 10-minute walk from the Charles Lamb Pub.
The Almeida Theatre
Built in 1837 and originally used as a lecture hall for the Islington Scientific and Literary Society, it has been variously a Victorian Music Hall, a Salvation Army Citadel and a factory for carnival novelties. Converted from its derelict state, it opened in 1980 and has since grown to become one of the world's leading producing theatres, performing both classical and contemporary work with the finest international artists.The Almeida Theatre is in Almeida Street, a 10-minute walk from the Charles Lamb Pub.

Kazakhstan, who lost five Olympic titles from 2008 and 2012 through retrospective doping positives, won their first gold of the 2016 Games when Nijat Rahimov broke the clean and jerk world record in the men's 77kg category.
Rahimov had to lift 214kg to win, 4kg more than Lu Xiaojun's clean and jerk word record, which he set three years ago.
He made the lift for a total of 379kg to finish ahead of Lu, who had earlier broken his own snatch world record. Mohamed Ihab of Egypt was third.

BREAKING: BLM backs down in #BundyRanch per Clark County Sheriff
— Matt Finn FNC (@MattFinnFNC) April 12, 2014
(INFOWARS) The Sheriff of Clark County, Nevada, Douglas Gillespie, announced to tremendous applause Saturday that the Bureau of Land Management would cease their efforts targeting cattle rancher Cliven Bundy.
In an emotional response, Bundy told the Sheriff he had one hour to disarm the federal agency, and to bring the arms to the platform where speeches were made this morning.
The sheriff's announcement coincided with a press release put out by the BLM today stating that they would back off due to safety issues.
From the director of the BLM, Neil Kornze:
"As we have said from the beginning of the gather to remove illegal cattle from federal land consistent with court orders, a safe and peaceful operation is our number one priority. After one week, we have made progress in enforcing two recent court orders to remove the trespass cattle from public lands that belong to all Americans.
"Based on information about conditions on the ground, and in consultation with law enforcement, we have made a decision to conclude the cattle gather because of our serious concern about the safety of employees and members of the public.
"We ask that all parties in the area remain peaceful and law-abiding as the Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service work to end the operation in an orderly manner.
Ranching has always been an important part of our nation's heritage and continues throughout the West on public lands that belong to all Americans. This is a matter of fairness and equity, and we remain disappointed that Cliven Bundy continues to not comply with the same laws that 16,000 public lands ranchers do every year. After 20 years and multiple court orders to remove the trespass cattle, Mr. Bundy owes the American taxpayers in excess of $1 million. The BLM will continue to work to resolve the matter administratively and judicially."
The BLM did not mention giving Bundy his cattle back, but he didn't ask for them back, he asked for his freedom back and for the BLM to lay down their arms.

ICTs stakeholders urged to invest in infrastructures in Africa (Statement of Algiers)
APS - 14 February 2017
ALGIERS-Participants in the African Conference on Internet Governance (CAGI) held Monday in Algiers urged major stakeholders in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to invest in infrastructures in Africa, and highlighted the importance of dialogue to fairly share the benefits of internet. �
"We urge major ICTs stakeholders to invest in infrastructures in African countries, and e-communication services providers to engage in a dialogue to fairly share the benefits of internet," stressed participants in the Statement of Algiers released at the end of the Conference.
"We call on African states to take part in Internet Governance Forums so that their role becomes more than consultative in the management of internet resources and improve equity, efficiency and competitiveness," said participants in the Statement read on their behalf by Minister of Post and Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) Iman Houda Feraoun. ��
Participants committed to drawing up a charter on the use of internet to "protect internet users, particularly against the propaganda of terrorist group and violent extremism, and ensure an online human rights protection."
Besides, participants agreed to set up "a comprehensive, transparent and inclusive internet governance framework based on opening up principles that also include the freedom of expression, respect and protection of private life, universal access and technical interoperability, ethics and respect for cultural and linguistic diversity in cyberspaces." �
Moreover, the Statement referred to "the development of an accessible, affordable, safe and reliable internet." African participants also focused on "the promotion of coordination between bodies in charge of internet governance in African states." ��
The Statement of Algiers highlighted "the usefulness of mechanisms that protect children online so that internet contributes to the fight against social scourges."
Participants (African ICTs ministers, technical advisors, experts, representatives of the African Union, general secretaries, and heads of delegations and representatives of international organizations) agreed to "draw up a common strategy that makes the economic benefits of internet profitable to Africa, and promote Africa's digital identity while favouring the local content, multilingualism, and encouraging innovation, technological training and African start-ups in the favour of youth." �

The Pointer of the Sequencer rotates toward each of its four sides in sequence at a user-specified speed, sending out a Redstone signal as it passes each side. The Sequencer does not have an input side, only the four output sides, which means it cannot be turned off. Right-Click with a Screwdriver to rotate and Shift-Right-Click to make the pointer go in the opposite direction.
Because Sequencers are synced to world time, any action which causes a change in the world time (like sleeping in a bed, or using the /time command) will cause the Sequencer to change state. In some designs, this will have little-to-no effect, but if a Sequencer is used to manage time-sensitive circuits, it may cause bugs in the circuit design.
Since it is synchronized to world time, it makes a handy clock - simply set it to 300 seconds. It can constantly switch on and off machines, pistons, etc.
- Putting a Sequencer next to a Lamp and connecting two of the facing outputs together will result in two cables where one will switch on and the other is then always off. This function may prove rather useful to power Nuclear Reactors and other dangerous machines that need to be switched off on a regular basis.
- Sequencers can also be used to coordinate different parts of the same system. For example with an Automatic Wheat Farm you can have three of the Sequencer's outputs connected to each other and then to an Assembler which is set to perform three actions in sequence; Hoe, Plant, and apply Bone meal. Then you can tie the fourth Sequencer output to a Block Breaker (which will harvest the wheat, making it ready for the start of the Assembler's sequence again). So for each of the 4 outputs on the Sequencer you are doing the following; Hoe, Plant, Grow, Harvest.
- Sequencers can be used to overcome the fact that when multiple Retriever requests are made only the closest one is granted by pulsing each Retriever from one side of the sequencer. A sequencer with more outputs for this task could be made with Toggle Latches and Invert Cells.

I almost forgot there was an election today, but not Howard Srebnick:
Few problems were reported throughout the day at precincts, according to the county's elections department.
But on Miami Beach, a number of voters were angry that several polling places had been moved.
Elections spokeswoman Christina White said the department notifies all voters via postcard when their precincts are relocated, and that advertisements are placed in newspapers.
But Howard Srebnick, a Miami Beach resident and prominent criminal defense lawyer, said the Miami Beach Botanical Garden, the city's largest polling site, was shut down "without notice."
"This is a scandal," Srebnick said, noting that a number of voters who usually cast ballots at 2000 Convention Center Dr. are elderly and without transportation.
A sign at the Botanical Garden polling station redirects voters of precincts 30 and 34 to another polling site, St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, 621 Alton Road – 15 blocks south. White said the elections department stationed a worker at the site to notify voters of the change.
Elections Spokeswoman Christina White said the precincts were moved because of a scheduling conflict, which the county learned about on Feb. 10.
"The site was unavailable," she said. "It wasn't our doing."
Laura Jamieson, executive director of the Garden, said she notified the elections department as soon as she learned of the conflict with the recall election date.
"It's valuable corporate business to us and it's been booked for a full year," she said.

Excellent location-just next to the bus stop and in the most happening locality of south Beach. Wi-fi, free breakfast are bonus. You can fill a bagfull of breakfast and actually avoid costlier lunch outside! ;-) A pool table and some disco lighting gives it a feel of a discotheque! Only problem is you might feel a bit too cramped in bunk beds as the rooms are very small. For the same reason, cleaning doesnt occur frequently. But a great value for money. I would stay there again!

Russian Tea Cakes (No Nuts)
Recipe by ShaGun
These are bite-size shortbread-type cookies that are so simple and so popular. They're frequently the first cookie people will eat from my Christmas cookie tray. My mom made these every year for Christmas. She'd roll the dough into balls and we got to dunk the tops in green or red sugar crystals. Now I get to continue the tradition with my sons. My sister makes these for other holidays as well and changes the sugar color accordingly. The recipe is my mom's variation on the recipe from the old Betty Crocker "Cooky Book."

While U.S. equities continue their sideways skid just below the Dow 20,000 threshold — a level that has provided intractable for the last five weeks — buyers aren't sitting still. Since the New Year, vigorous new interest has been seen in biotech stocks as hopes build for president-elect Donald Trump's plans to repeal and replace Obamacare, potentially improving both cost and coverage.
If successful, that will mean millions of new patients paying for drug treatments and medical devices — just the thing to boost profits in the medical sector.
As a result, the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology Index (ETF) (NASDAQ:IBB) is up more than 8% from its late December low and is moving in on its mid-November highs. The IBB has been in a year-long funk after peaking in the summer of 2015.

Heaven / Nightmare
"I had a outcall services last week, first night, the massuer was amazing, his beautiful body and excellence service always amaze me. Second night, the Manage suggest me to try another masseur, a beautiful guy who has a very cute smile, wonderful choice. Thanks Manager. The third night, I have high expectation. First of all, the massuer was late for 35 mins, i was booked at 0130 but he arrived at 0205, no apologize for his lateness, Ok i thought Korean guy may not know how to apologize. and then he took shower for 15 mins, after that, we got down to business, everything was in the rush and he coughing blow to my face all the time, also, the photo shown he has big define muscle but in person, he was just a meaty boy who has tone up a little bit, however, he stare at the TV all the time which seems not very concentrate. Well, I might have too much expectation caused disappointment... the last part was really amazing, I ordered 2 hours course, he requested to leave early (1 hour & 10 mins) caused he has another appointment, what?! And then he shower, get dress and go... I told the manager and he replied that he has no appointment after me... What?! This is the worst experience i ever had in The Park. "

Try by yourself
"I used the outcall service of The Park when I was in Seoul last week and I felt impressed with its service.
At first I was rather hesitated after reading reviews from other customers. However, without any ideas of other good massage places in Seoul, I gave The Park a chance in order to try by myself. I selected specialist "X" as my first trainer. He has a perfect muscly body and looks much more muscular than the photo shown on the website. His massaging skills were quite great. "Ford" was my second specialist. The manager recommended him for me. He has a tall and fit body but much less muscly in comparison to the first specialist. However, he can speak English fluently so we could converse during the massage. I would like to recommend everyone to experience The Park service by yourself. And last but not least, I am going to come back to The Park again for sure!"

The Owner Is NOT Truthful about pricing
"I visited this shop last week. I was quoted the massage would be 170,000 won. I have been a regular customer of this shop for the past couple of years. I have always paid 150,000. The owner flat out lied and told me they have never offered the massage service for 150,000. What?? Of course they have! I've been there many times and only paid 150,000. Frankly speaking, there are many decent massage shops in Seoul. I would stay away from this one. BTW: The pics of the trainers on the website do not look like the actual trainers."

Nice guys, polite in general, sth need to be improved
"I were in Seoul last June 15-22th
- The Park's manager was good, with caring attitude and good communication.
- Specialists XO, K were both nice, polite and cute. K had an athletic body so he looked more attractive (but his body was not exactly as beautiful as the pic). Both of them were friendly and did good job.
- Specialist Ryan: also had an athletic body, look cute. However, a little bit "weak". I do not recommend him though he was friendly
- M: good face, slim body, but not friendly, anyway, polite enough. I do not recommend this guy.
- Those above guys were quite good at English."

Why error? I do not feel good
"I recently visited the park.I made an arrangement with one of the staffs from this shop so that he could pick me up and take me to the shop.
It was my first visit to this shop. So,I was not familiar with its location. Frankly, I was quite satisfied with this pick-up service. The shop looked like a quiet apartment unit. It was really quiet but little gloomy. As I arrived to the shop, the shop manager introduced me the massage therapists. However, most of them looked very different from the photo. I was very displeased. To be specific, I was shocked.
Surely, this shop's pick-up service was great. But what I really needed was fine massage service. This shop had none of the massage therapists from the advertising photo. I was really disappointed. Nonetheless, I chose one massage therapist anyway even though I already felt bad about this shop's integrity. Well, this massage therapist tried really hard to give me a fine massage service. I appreciate. But definitely, this was not a skillful massage therapist that i initially expected."

Great experience
"My first experience with Park where I have been with other places in Seoul. Firstly the guys looked like the photos and when I went and 8 guys came on standby and I was quite amazed by all of them. While my taste is quite diverse I enjoyed just looking at them and didn't know who to choose from.
I chose the guy and I did not regret massage skill was mediocre but their service skill was very good and I did not know how the time passed by.
For those who think the guys here who are fake are just insane. They are all genuine and the faces look very familiar. I would love to and definitely will recommend it to my friend and visit again.
Thank you"

"Firstly, we can confirm that we have no connection with 501 Mania. Our business is famous for offering genuine trainers. We never use fake photos or descriptions to represent our staff.
We love both positive and negative comments from clients. This is a crucial procedure. However, we have checked our records to see if we could remember a client that has used our service four times but not been happy. As no-one stands out, we feel that his comments may be at least an exaggeration."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I I worked for a company for a little over a month. They fired me because I got sick during the 6 week training period. They have a policy about not having more than 3 "UAP"s (unauthorized absences, which also consists of being late or leaving early). I called in as required to let them know I was sick. I returned to work (before I was even well just so I wouldn't lose my job.) with a doctors note. I was given a written warning. I struggled to make it through the week, and had to call in sick again. I went back to the doctor and got another note. This time the note only covered 2 out of the 3 days I was absent. When I returned to work I was informed I violated their policy and was given the option to quit or be fired. I refused to quit. They tried to strong arm me into quitting. I refused. Then I was told that it was a "process" and that it would take 2-3 days for "legal to approve" my dismissal. I was then instructed to go log on to the phones and that "full performance was expected" from me until they got the okay t o fire me. I told the manager that I was still sick and the only reason I showed up then was at the request of the HR manager. I was then told to hand over my badge and escorted from the property. I understand that Washington state is an" at will" state. But can they do that when someone is legitimately sick and brings a note? Thanks
You might have a cause of action under the FMLA (http://www.dol.gov/whd/fmla/) or Washington law (see http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=49.60.180). You should see an attorney about the particular facts of your circumstances.

Using animal images to cast aspersions
We call people "swine", "pigs", "dogs", "curs", "rats", even "water buffalo" when we want to disparage them.
The latter epithet was uttered in the famous "water buffalo incident" that took place at the University of Pennsylvania in 1993, when an Israeli-born Jewish student, translating from Hebrew slang behema ("animal; beast" — used by Israelis to refer to loud, unruly people) shouted "Shut up, you water buffalo" out his window at a noisy group of students who were disturbing him and others in his building at midnight. The controversy was exacerbated by alleged racial overtones of "water buffalo", though the student who yelled the phrase denied that he meant it to have racial implications.

Several major US Universities are engaged in a widespread study of what they call 'hidden costs' to the Internet consumer. In the case of GAG, we pay these fees by being inundated with advertising. It is reasonably harmless when all we encounter are pretty little patches of color we can click on voluntarily, but how many times have you started to read someone's post and your finger accidently hit on something that directs you to a page you had no intention of visiting? Or for tab users such as myself, with onscreen keyboards, how often do you click on a comment window, only to have a potato chip ad obscure your view entirely until you 'x' it out? I myself easily spend three minutes per session in such activities, three minutes I cannot afford.
There is no official indication yet what action is or is not going to come out of this study, but unofficial word is that sites such as GAG may face a 20% increase in domain fees unless they reduce their ad space by just as much AND eliminate ALL pop ups.
Any response?

Portions of Scranton and Honesdale will have a number of natural gas mains replaced through a UGI Utilities Inc. $71.1 million enhancement project sometime this year.
About 4,910 feet of pipeline in Scranton will be replaced in the 2600-3100 blocks of Cedar Avenue, the 2600-3000 blocks of Colliery Avenue, and the 300 blocks of Sanders Street, Lowery Street, Kane Street, Walsh Street, McDonough Street and Davis Street.
In Honesdale, 3,850 feet will be replaced in the 400-1150 blocks of Main Street.
"These infrastructure projects continue our commitment to ensure our system provides safe, reliable service for our customers, and for the many communities we serve," said UGI President and CEO Robert F. Beard.
The company will replace about 63 miles of cast iron and bare steel mains with high-density plastic or cathodically protected steel, which protects the pipe from erosion, through the program, part of a 30-year, $1.2 billion plan to replace all pipelines made of noncontemporary material.
UGI will notify municipal officials and residents about construction projects in advance. The projects may cause temporary traffic and parking congestion. No specific dates for construction have been announced.

Send a form invitation from JotForm to a group of recipientsAsked by ChileNativo on April 20, 2016 at 09:12 AM
Hi! I've started recently using Jotform. Someone before me created the forms for the company.
I need now to continue using them but there is something I can't figure out. How do I send a form to several emails y have in an Excel document from the web site directly?
Is there a way to send the form from the web site to all the emails together? Or should I do this one by one? Is it easier to just embed the form to my email and send it to a group of senders from my email instead of the website/
Waiting for your reply. Thanks, Marina
JotForm Support
Not quite sure if I understood your concern correctly.
There are a number of way on how to share your form.
1. First, you can simply share the form link/URL to your users, you can share it via chat, post, email, etc... As long as they open the form on a web browser with an active internet connection. You can find the direct link of the form under the "Publish" wizard or by simply clicking the "Preview" button in your form builder.
2. Your users can also fill out your form directly on your website, you can embed the form on your website using the different embed codes that we have.
Here's a basic guide on how to embed your form on a web page: https://www.jotform.com/help/34-Adding-a-Form-to-a-Web-Page
Please note that you cannot embed these codes on your email body, this is because email softwares cannot load scripts and other resources that makes the form function.
I hope that helps. Do let us know if you need more information on this.
Hi, Many thanks for getting back to me. I actually didn't understand your answer.Allow me to explain differently.I used a form created in the website to get guest's information, including their emails. I would like to use this emails to send them a feedback form also created in the Jotform web site.How can I do this?Many thanks. Marina
JotForm Support
Could you please provide us more information on the process flow of your work?
Is this how you would like to make it happen:
1. First, you have a form in your website. Form 1 (I presume this is also JotForm?)
2. After the form is filled out, you want the email address entered there to receive an email with another form link, which is Form 2.
Is that what you would like to do? If so, you can just create an autoresponder in Form 1, then add the link of Form 2 in the email body of the autoresponder.
We also have some apps that allows you to integrate your form to some newsletter or email system like MailChimp. You can find them here: https://apps.jotform.com/category/emailling
Hi! I investigated a bit more and found what I'm looking for but still need your help with something.
I must email a form form JetForm to various people. I know that to do that I have to go to Publish, Link and share form. But that only allows me to do it per person. Is there a way to send it to more than one email , like a group or something like that?
Hope this is clear now! Thank you, Marina
JotForm Support
When you email the form invitation via JotForm, it is possible to add multiple recipients one by one. Please see the next animation.
Alternatively, you can just copy your direct form link and email it manually from your email program.
If you need any further assistance, please let us know.

Reviews of Manorcare of Westmont
SayNo February 21, 2017
I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My mother was brought to Manorcare in Westmont for hospice care. The amount of time a patient has to wait for a nurse to answer their call is horrible. Usually anywhere from 10-15 minutes if not longer. There are also many aids there who are just plain rude or have no patience with the elderly people there. To top it off, upon returning to Manorcare after my mom passed away, many of her belongings "disappeared". According to a staff member, he had cleaned her room after she passed and had not seen these items (a couple books, a cellphone, clothes, etc). If you have to put an elderly family member here, I'd recommend not leaving any items there with them unless they are fully aware of everything they brought with them. Otherwise, I'd highly recommend finding a much better and more respectful place.
Mary648045 June 10, 2016
I am a friend or relative of a resident
In general, Manorcare of Westmont was good but I had some serious concerns about their level of skill with catheters. I learned a lot just going around the internet and asking around about the proper catheter care, cleanliness, and best practices, and they did not follow them and complicated things. I thought their physical therapy was great. My father had been there three separate times and did so well with the physical therapy. My mother was there for a short time, too, but we transferred her out of there quickly. While she was there, she caught C. diff. She was just at a very low point there, but we thought there should have been extra care given to her situation. As far as transferring from one patient to another, I didn't see much care. When we went in there, we had to wear gloves and gowns, but then the physician's assistant would come in, and she'd be touching the bedding and she'd say she was a professional. I have since found out about C. diff being rampant over there, and if had we had any idea about that, I don't know that we would have brought her there. They did not test her for a UTI, and we told them there was a good chance that she was still having a UTI. She nearly died because she had C. diff and a UTI at the same time. It felt like had I not raised the red flag, I don't know if they would have sent her to the ER. I was stunned by their laid-back attitude. The food looked more colorful but I thought it was incredibly not nutritional. There wasn't a fresh vegetable or fruit in sight. Everything had gravy on it.
