Looking at hotels in Bali, I am noticing the prices on some hotels are at least $50/night less if I book through an online service rather than directly through the hotel website. I am also reading that one doesn't want to be on the ground floor of some of these hotels; that the higher level floors have better views, more of a breeze and fewer mosquitos. Am I more likely to get rooms at the lower levels by booking through agoda, priceline or booking.com? Also is there a way to contact the hotel directly with my room request if I have booked through a discount online service? The difference is over $50/night for what appears to be the same room.... Anyone have experience with this?

Are Rooms as Good Booking Through an Online Discount Service?
Report Abuse
We used balidiscovery.com and it worked out well. We have also used some of the sites you mentioned but sometimes booking directly got us the best deal. Most of the on-line agencies offer room choices where you might pay more for a room with a better view, etc. I have never been disappointed by booking through an agency. Often times your reservation will be in the name of the agency and you will be given a voucher for your reservation - when that is the case, contacting the hotel will not work.
Report Abuse
Only once (and not in Asia) have I been very dissatisfied with a room I got on priceline. It was several years ago in Hilton Head, and the room was over the garbage pickup, which meant loud noise starting at 6 a.m. every morning. I was certain we were given that room because we had booked on priceline. But, it hasn't happened elsewhere or any other time, especially since the online discount booking sites have become part of the "travel landscape".
Report Abuse
You can book throough an Internet service and then 2-3 weeks before arrival contact the hotel directly with a reasonable request such as second floor vs, floor. But do not expect though you can request things like aeway from elevator, not in a building far from front desk.i.e. Hyatt Sanur has a building that is almost 1/4 mile from main entrance. But they will not becessarily put you there because you made an Internet reservation you just likely cannot request special treatment. I must admit in Bali and elsewhere in Indonesia I found competitive rates especially when I mentioned that Agoda has a certain rate.
Report Abuse
I have used booking.com and agoda.com right around the world and it gives you plenty of reviews and different options to book whether you want free cancellation or breakfast. Worth a look and the prices are very reasonable!!
Report Abuse
The rooms are almost always the same. You get what you pay for, and what's available when you get there. As other posters have said, you can request a high floor, etc. through some of the sites, although usually if there are rooms with better views, etc. the hotel will charge more for those.
The main difference in booking through the discount sites is that many big hotel chains won't give you points or perks associated with their member clubs if you don't book through them.
Report Abuse
Interesting! Thank you all for the info. I have noticed that the discounters have their own point system, so they must be trying to compete with the chains.
I've found it very easy to book online and also to cancel online. I have noticed some hotels that have no vacancies one day, have opennings the next, probably due to people booking and cancelling. We decided what we wanted so we are now sitting on only one reservation... We are very happy with our choice. Stay tuned for a trip report at the end of summer, God willing and the Creek don't rise, as they say.

Which of the online discount sites tends to come up with the best deals on hotels in Indonesia? asiarooms.com? agoga.com? Is there one that is a preference over the others, like ctrip for China?
Report Abuse
As Craig says, balidiscovery is a good one. But as everywhere else, you need to check many booking sites to see which one has the best deals for the properties you are interested in.

The wonder of Patchs
Had a couple of problems with patches this week. The First was on a Windows2003 server that runs a Dcom based application. We put all the latest MS patches on last week, and for some reason it stopped working.
I re-built one from scratch today, trying to do the patches in batches, but surprise surprise I managed to install them all, and it worked fine!
The second problem I had was with one of my web based applications, and (I think) the patches that came out in January. Its an ASP.Net app written in VB.net. It uses the impersonation function so all users run as one user. This is done due it the application needing lots of file system access across Windows and Linux platforms.
Anyway, I installed the patches and all of a sudden the application could no longer see any remote unc paths. Every time it checked to make sure the unc was valid it failed, and took the path offline! As soon as I un-installed the batch of patches it started working again.
If anyone else has had this problem and sussed out what it is, let me know.
On another note, i've seen a lot about on the web about hacking PSP (Playstaion portable) consoles lately, and the on going battle between the hackers and Sony. Quite a good BBC artical about it is http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/6397797.stm
So for I've not tried 'downgrading' my PSP, cos if it goes wrong you can end up turning it into an expensive looking brick. I am very tempted to give it a go though. Does anyone know if what the hackers are doing is legal?
Got a new 80gig drive for my laptop today. Over the next few days i'm going to blow it away and get it duel booting between Windows XP and Linux. If I find out anything interesting ill post it here.
Listening To: New album by the Kaiser Chiefs. Can't make my mind up about it yet.

|Some New Ant Tasks
|Thu, 09 May 2002 06:02:21 GMT
I've recently published some simple ant tasks I use for automated builds of Jera Design software. "Query" puts up a small AWT dialog to prompt you for information (such as passwords) that you don't want to put in your "build.xml" file. "MainClass" adds a "Main-Class:" attribute to a specified JAR file, making the JAR file executable on most platforms that have a Java 2 runtime installed. "IncVersion" increments a version number stored in a text file. It's especially useful when paired with.... "JnlpVersion" which updates the version of a JAR file entry in a JNLP file. By using the version feature in JNLP, you can make your Java Web Start update checks run much faster. You can find these Ant tasks, along with their source at: http://www.jera.com/tools/anttasks/ Let me know what you think.

Lille look for signings
By Patrick Haond
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Lille have turned one eye towards next term as they prepare for the Champions League.Lille have turned one eye towards next season as they prepare for a UEFA Champions League challenge.
The Northern French club have secured their place in the top three in Ligue 1 and could join Lyon as automatic entrants into the Champions League group phase.
To compete with Europe's elite, Lille will need to strengthen their squad and they are considering a brace of youngsters - Lyon's Bryan Bergougnoux and Grasshopper Zurich's Stephan Lichtsteiner.
Bergougnoux has impressed this season for the reigning champions despite his failure to nail down a regular starting spot.
The powerful forward may be allowed to leave Stade Gerland on loan and Lille want to add him to their ranks.
However, Ajaccio, Paris Saint Germain and Toulouse are also admirers of Bergougnoux, who has scored four goals in Ligue 1 this term.
Swiss full back Lichtsteiner has also come to Lille's attention and they may be able to prise him from Grasshopper's grasp for é¼350,000.
But while Lille look to add to their squad, it seems increasingly likely that captain Philippe Brunel will leave in the summer.
Brunel is out of contract at the end of the season and wants a two-year extension with the option of a further 12 months.
Lille, though, have offered a one-year deal, and a 12-month option, due to Brunel being 32 and the midfielder concedes he is now poised to quit the club.
Brunel said: "Except for a miracle I will not be at Lille next year."

The Tale of Ficilitated Diffusion (Part 1)
Facilitated Diffusion is when a protein moves from high to low concentration through a channel.
DeSean Lopez was walking through is house when he saw 11 people in black robes walking around his house. Then all of a sudden he heard the front door knob shaking. Then 10 of men in black robes came in the house. DeSean was frightened so he grabbed his baseball bat and headed towards the door ,but there were two people in black robes guarding the door. So DeSean went to break a window and climbed out of a window 20 feet of the ground. Then DeSean ran to safety.
The proteins as you see are frighteningly go through the channel before a lot of bad proteins come after him. Like a person get out of a house of evil people.

June 2016 Edition
Wartime Poetry
I wandered from the darkening tent,
My mind steeped in unrest,
And standing 'neath a stately gum,
Gazed, unseeing, to the west.
For my soul was sick and weary,
In my heart was sad regret,
As I pondered o'er the sordid things,
Which made my spirit fret.
I thought of days that used to be,
Of things that might have been,
The condition of the world today,
And the yawning gulf between.
Those happy, carefree, pre-war days,
The days we must restore,
So that others may enjoy them,
As we used to, once before.
As I sit awhile and ponder,
My thoughts are apt to wander,
And take me to a place far away,
Serving to remind me,
Of the girl I left behind me,
The girl who waits for my return some day.
I can see the love-light shine,
In her eyes so close to mine,
I can feel those tender lips on mine again,
And I know she always yearns,
For my quick and safe return,
And she's praying that her hopes are not in vain
Night Convoy
The night is cool, the stars are out,
The moon is overhead.
But there are stars, twin, man-made stars,
(And some are winking red).
That shine not in the heavens,
But on a dusty track,
Which winds about the ranges and
The valleys, way out back.
It's a convoy, moving northward,
Under cover of the night;
With their motors pulsing, throbbing,
And their lights are beacons bright
As they rush on through the darkness,
Springs bending 'neath their load,
And their tight-lipped, grim-eyed drivers,
Heaping curses on the road.
But through their weariness and cursing,
Good spirits still prevail
O'er the blinding dust, the aching eyes,
And the roughness of the trail.
And the Don.R, as he comes in sight,
Is greeted with a smile,
They're cracking jokes, and laughing as
He rides beside them for a while.
Milne Bay - 1943
The sun was a golden ball of fire,
The sky a copper sheen;
The turbulent sea of yesterday,
A placid, carpet green.
We sweltered in the Tropic heat,
And cursed, or prayed for night
To come, with its fragrant coolness,
Bringing us sweet respite.
Away across the sparkling bay,
Past scanty strips of sand,
The rugged ranges reared o'er all,
Their ramparts, proud and grand.
But, their wild, barbaric splendour,
'Neath it's tangled coat of green,
Withheld so many sad memories,
Of grim, bloody battle scenes.
They remember the sons of Australia,
Who had willingly shed their blood.
To wipe out the Japanese menace.
And they cherish the crossed bit of wood.
In neat rows, in secluded clearings,
Mute pleas to those who remain;
Asking that we do not fail them,
That their sacrifice be not in vain.
As I sit a while and ponder,
Then my restless thoughts will wander,
And mirrored in my mind,
I see the girl I left behind,
In that little Aussie town away down under.
I like to wander from the tent,
And, sitting quietly aside,
Meditate -- pretending that,
You're with me at my side.
Especially when the moon is full,
The Tropic night agleam,
My fancies reach transcendent heights,
-- I dream my favourite dream.
We wander slowly hand in hand,
Through fields of verdant green,
Knee-deep in scented flowers,
While blue-wrens hop and flit between,
The gaily-tinted blossoms,
And high up in an azure sky,
A skylark trills her melody.
-- And we're alone, just you and I!
We've left the world far, far behind,
As only sweethearts can,
And our thoughts are of each other,
As we rapturously plan,
The things that we intend to do,
And the happiness we'll gain,
When all this trouble's o'er and we're
Together once again.
It's dreams like this that fill my mind,
Dreams that I hope come true,
Dreams that lift me from this place,
-- Bring me closer, dear, to you.
And I'm praying that it won't be long,
E'er I bid my uniform goodbye,
And we can settle down, always
Together, you and I.
Song of the Saddle Bum
When th' shearin' time is over,
An' th' payin' off is done,
Th' boys are treadin' clover,
An' they're headin' on th' run,
Fer th' townships an' the cities,
To drown the taste of stinkin' wool,
But I ain't ridin' with 'em,
Fer I'm no drinkin' fool.
Yeah! Me pony's 'eaded Westward,
An' straight fer 'ome I'll go,
To nature's 'ome beneath th' stars,
Th' only 'ome I know.
Where th' food is wot yer make it,
An' the rent ain't extra-high,
Where th' 4 horizons are th' walls,
An' yer ceillin' is th' sky.
Yairs, just give me a pony,
An' a saddle, an cookin' things,
Fer when I'm back upon th' track,
I'm 'appy as a king.
An' you can 'ave yer cities,
An' think that they're th' best,
But I'd sooner spread me blankets,
'Neath th' stars, away out west.
Fer I love th' sun-burnt ranges,
An' th' plains an' valleys too.
An' if I'm needin' ornyments,
Why, th' ole gum-tree'll do.
Yairs, a bushy's life is best, mate,
A life wot's grand an' free,
An' I'm sayin', now an' always,
It's th' bushy's life fer me.
Dream of a Saddle Tramp
I'm sittin' in the saddle,
With my pinto 'tween my knees,
When I hears a sweet voice singing,
A-singin' in the breeze.
So I urge the pinto forward,
Along the windin' trail,
The I sees her there, a-leanin',
On the old corral top-rail.
Her hair is black as midnight,
An' her eyes, like mountain dew,
An' her mouth it wus the sweetest,
That wus ever sung through.
Her lips was jus' like cherries,
Her teeth wus shinin' pearls.
She's sure a purty looker,
Says I, here's my dream-girl.
She didn't see me sittin',
In the shadows, 'mongst the trees,
But I hears her softly singin',
Softly singin' to the breeze.
An' she's singin' of a cowboy,
Who's ridin' far an' free.
An' I knows frum what she's singin',
That ther aint no chance fer me.
So, I sets Ole Paint a-movin',
An' I slowly ambles by.
But my eyes is kinda misty,
An' I heaves a little sigh.
Now, at bedtime every evenin',
When the moon begins to pale,
I shuts me eyes, an' sees her leanin',
On the old corral top-rail.
Pal of the Droving Days
It's hanging still on a wooden peg,
On the wall, in the harness shed.
The stitching's rotted, and falling apart,
And the irons are rusted red.
But it brings back memories of droving days,
Of days that are long since dead.
Its leather seat, once shiny and smooth,
Shows signs of wear and tear.
And it has the scars of countless years,
As it's hanging mutely there.
For gone from its life is the oily rag,
And a drover's loving care.
Its working days are over now,
So it rests, and sadly decays;
For its job is done, its purpose served,
In a thousand different ways.
And it hangs on its peg in the harness shed,
Old pal of the droving days.
You're in my thought the whole day through
You're there at fall of night.
You're with me in my every dream,
And when the early dawn's grey light
Comes stealing soft across the sky,
And the day begins anew,
My mind is still pre-occupied
With loving thoughts of you.
The Outlaw's Partner
When yer ridin' on the owl-hoot,
Pony always on the run,
An' yer livin' in the saddle,
With yer right hand near yer gun,
When yer scare at every shadder,
An' at little things, wot creep,
An yuh tear yer nerves to tatters,
When yuh oughter be asleep.
When yuh sleep with one eye open,
Wide awake at every sound,
With yer carbine layin' loaded,
Beside yer on the ground.
When yuh dassent trust a 'uman,
No, not even yer best gal,
That's when yer 'preciate yer pony,
Fer you'll find 'im yer best pal.

Earth, Moon, and Sun
By Nicole Johnson
Section 1-Earth In Space
How does Earth move in space?
Earth moves in space by two ways which are rotation and revolution. In rotation, the earth spins on its axis (imaginary line that passes through the center of Earth).The next way is revolution. Revolution is the movement of one object around another, just like Earth travels around the sun. It takes Earth one year to revolve around the sun.
What causes the cycle of seasons on Earth?
The reason Earth has seasons at all is because its axis is tilted as it revolves around the sun. The seasons of summer and winter are caused by Earth's tilt as it revolves. The side of the Earth tilted toward the sun is the one with more direct sunlight, making it warmer. The side of Earth tilted away gets less direct sunlight, which makes it colder.
Section 2- Gravity and Motion
What determines the strength of the force of gravity between two objects?
The strength depends on two factors. These factors are the masses of objects and the distance between them. When mass increases, force, or gravity, increases. The heavier an object, the more gravitational pull. With distance, the further apart the objects are, the gravity decreases. So when objects are further apart they will have less gravity towards each other then objects further apart.
What two factors combine to keep the moon and Earth in orbit?
Inertia and gravity combine to keep the Earth and the moon in orbit. Earth's gravity helps to pull the moon toward it, so that it doesn't move in a straight line. While this is happening, so is inertia. Inertia helps the moon keep moving in the same motion as opposed to moving in a straight line.
Section 3- Phases, Eclipses, and Tides
What causes the phases of the moon?
The phases of the moon are caused by changes in the positions of the moon, Earth, and sun. As the moon revolves around the Earth you see it at different angles, while the sun is lighting the moon.
What are solar and lunar eclipses?
An eclipse is caused when the moon's shadow hits Earth or Earth's shadow hits the moon. A solar eclipse is an eclipse that occurs when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun, blocking sunlight from Earth. A solar eclipse happens when a new moon blocks your view of the sun. A lunar eclipse happens when Earth blocks sunlight from reaching the moon. Lunar eclipses only happen when there is a full moon. There are two types of each eclipse: total and partial.
What causes the tides?
Tides are caused by differences in how much the moon's gravity pulls on different parts of Earth. There are always two low tides and two high tides. The side closest to the moon will experience a high tide because there is more force. Also, on the opposite side of the Earth there will be a high tide because the force of moon's gravity pulls Earth toward the moon, leaving water behind. There are two types of tides: a spring tide and a neap tide.
Section 4- Earth's Moon
What features are found on the moon's surface?
Features on the moon's surface include maria, craters, and highlands. Maria are dark, flat areas on the moon formed by hardened rock from lava. Craters are large round pits caused by the impacts of meteoroids, which are chunks of rock or dust from space. Highlands are peaks or mountains. The peaks of the lunar highlands and the rims of the craters cast dark shadows.
What are some characteristics of the moon?
The moon is very different compared to Earth. First, the moon is dry and airless and has no atmosphere. The moon has very weak surface gravity. The moon has only one eightieth as much mass as the Earth. Also, the moon has no liquid water but it does have ice.
How did the moon form?
Most scientists believe in the collision-ring theory. The collision-ring theory says that about 4.5 billion years ago, the solar system was full of debris, and a planet-sized object collided with the Earth to from the moon.

In a quality school the importance of individual work and competition is reduced while greater emphasis is placed on team work and cooperation. Cooperative learning, team work and cooperation are considered to be the most important principles, crucial for the success in the 21st century (Greene, 1996). Based on these assumptions, the aim of the paper is to examine whether cooperative learning can be confirmed as a significant indicator of a good quality teaching and whether it may positively influence the relationships and processes within a group, in particular among six graders (N = 69) and eight graders (N = 78) in one primary school in Osijek. The results of the research showed that cooperative learning, as an indicator of educational quality, is evident in the school environment, interaction and communication as well as in the students' more efficient relationship towards themselves, the others and the community in general. When it comes to the educational process, the indicators of quality mostly relate to the relationships, readiness to help and cooperate, socializing and peer acceptance as well as one's own responsibility for learning. According to the sudents' responses, cooperative learning is perceived as interesting and useful leading to a relaxed atmosphere whereby the students may overcome their fears of negative evaluation and school failure.

Even more amazing!
This time I tried to totally upgrade my Derby to 10.4. Not only every disconnect exception is gone, but the speed gets EXTREMELY fast also!!!
My program used to take hours to finish a replication on Derby 10.1 and now it just takes minutes!!!
What did you do with 10.4? That's so cool !!!
Really amazing!
It is reproducible. I've tested with your guide and this is the result
1. Remove a column: won't disconnect even the result is added up to 10000 rows
2. Add a column: disconnects less that 7966.
3. Add order by: OK! Won't disconnect now!
4. Using 10.4 derby client to connect, I did not replace the 'derbyclient.jar' at server side, still disconnect with the message:
ERROR 08006: Insufficient data while reading from the network - expected a minimum of 6 bytes and received only -1 bytes. The connection has been terminated.
I guess I need to make an update now. The reason I keep it is because I am using the Derby bundled with WebSphere 6.x.
Thanks!On Fri, Jun 6, 2008 at 8:13 PM, Kristian Waagan <email@example.com> wrote:

and got the disconnection.
The error message is like:

Location where the error was detected: insufficient data. Communication function detecting the error: *. Protocol specific error codes(s) TCP/IP SOCKETS
The returned rows should be above 7966 rows. If I try to restrict the constraints so that the return rows is below 7966 rows that is OK.
Any ideas about this?
Did this happen only once, or is it reproducible?
If it is reproducible, can you try the following:
1) Remove, or add, a column from/to the query (not the data!).
2) Add an order by.
This is purely guessing, I just want to rule out an off-by-one error that was fixed some time ago.
Another thing to try is using a newer *client*.
You should consider upgrading anyway, unless there are specific reasons why you are keeping the old version.

Ursula Ryan has been a key player in New Jersey's film industry for a generation, working with Hollywood's top talent from her walk-up office on Atlantic Avenue.
The grandmother of three from Frankfurt, Germany, wears many hats: cheerleader for Atlantic City's film industry, career counselor for countless would-be actors and businesswoman whose storied life in many ways reflects the American dream.
"Life is hard. Life is rejection. I don't care if it's sports or jobs," said Ryan, of Galloway Township. "If you can't handle rejection, don't get into show business."
Ryan is president of Weist-Barron-Ryan Acting Workshops, which has offices in Atlantic City and New York. She and her younger daughter and business partner, Stefanie Ryan-Showell, cast commercials, television shows and feature films and offer acting classes.
Ryan is a former professional singer who got her start on stage in Wiesbaden, Germany, at the Eagle's Club, singing for Elvis Presley when he was stationed there in the U.S. Army. Elvis met his wife, Priscilla, at the nightclub where Ryan was a regular performer.
"He was shy," she recalled. "He was a wonderful person - religious. Very attached to his mother."
Ryan rubbed shoulders with many successful Americans in the years after World War II. Many worked for American Forces Network Radio in Germany.
"My parents loved young people anyway and always had the boys come over," she said.
Ryan fell in love with broadcaster Nick Clooney, whose sister Rosemary Clooney was a Hollywood icon. Ryan would go with Clooney to the top of Frankfurt's Hoechst Castle tower, where the Armed Forces Network broadcast, and they had phones to call home.
"I talked to his sister, Rosie. They encouraged me to come to the United States," she said.
Because of immigration complications, Ryan could not follow Clooney to the United States, and their romantic relationship ended.
"He was my first love. That's why we're still close," she said. "I've met his wife. She's wonderful. But we remain friends."
Clooney helped promote her first American records when he was a radio disc jockey, she said.
Later, fate would bring the Clooneys back into her life with the filming of "Ocean's 11" in Atlantic City. The film starred Clooney's famous son, George.
"Nick used to say, 'I'm going to be known forever as Rosemary's brother and George's father,'" she said.
Ryan has been influential in steering movie projects to Atlantic City, said Harris Haith, of Woodbridge, Middlesex County, an actor and director who recently finished a feature film called "The Starks Coalition," shot in Atlantic City.
"Ursula is a real people-person. I met her on the set of 'Trading Places,'" he said. "She's the key person in the South Jersey film market, from film to television. Ursula knows just about everyone in the business."
Ryan's impressive circle of American friends is all the more remarkable given her difficult childhood. She grew up amid the bombing of her home city, Frankfurt, during World War II. Three uncles were killed fighting in the war. Her father served in the military reserves as a pharmaceutical chemist, she said.
"My baby sister, Roswitha, was born in a bunker in 1945. My mom gave birth there. It was awful. No food. We were starving. But we're survivors, that generation," she said.
Her mother was sickly and had trouble walking, so it fell to Ryan's older sister, Inge, to take care of them, often standing in line for hours for food.
Ryan said her older sister suffered worse because she remembered what their life in Frankfurt was like before the war.
"The only thing I knew was wartime. I started school in a bunker," she said. "We had no food. The Quakers supplied us. We had a little canteen, and they gave us oatmeal."
Ryan moved to the United States in 1960.
"I came all by myself with one suitcase," she said. "I traveled with my dictionary wherever I went to communicate with my (American) friends."
James Preston, an old friend from her club days in Germany, picked her up at the airport. He later would become president of Avon Products Inc. They remain friends today, she said.
Ryan continued her singing career in Los Angeles before moving back to New York, where she joined the casting company Weist Barron. The company opened its Atlantic City office in 1980.
Ryan has helped cast local actors in movies starring big names such as Tom Cruise, Paul Newman and Robert DeNiro.
She also helps the Atlantic City Cinefest film festival, said President Bill Sokolic, of Ventnor.
"She'll do anything to help Atlantic City and to help our festival," he said. "She has a pretty good reputation in her acting classes."
Some of her students focus on commercial work, which can be equally lucrative.
"They get recognition. You're not famous as a movie star, but people recognize you. And you learn the business," she said.
Many non-actors take her classes, which aim to build self-confidence, develop poise and improve public-speaking. Her students have included trial attorneys, politicians and even restaurant servers.
"One of my waitresses said, 'My tips are so much better now,'" she said.
Some parents send their children to her to help improve their communication skills, she said.
"With the texting, it's getting worse and worse. People don't communicate face to face anymore. They don't have the social graces," she said.
Today, Ryan has two grown children and three grandchildren. And while she won't share her age publicly, she said she does not think of retirement.
"I'm so proud of my students," she said. "We've had people who had a terrible time with self-confidence. I get letters from parents who say, 'Thank you for saving my child.'"

Welcome To Our Golden Age Solutions Website!
The golden age of our parents should be a pleasant one. We face many struggles over what to do with our parents when they are no longer able to take care of their property and themselves. Living alone demands much physical strength not to mention maintaining a property and home. Often the homes they live in were not built with the elderly in mind and are difficult to carry out daily tasks.

After its predecessor's competitor first whipped out a high-grade Blu-ray drive, Microsoft decided to make a few upgrades for its next console. The Xbox One features its own Blu-ray drive, capable of reading both Blu-ray discs and standard DVDs. However, you'll need to do a little more than just put the disc in to watch anything.
Blu-Ray/DVD Player App
Before you can watch a movie on your Xbox One, you'll need to install the Blu-ray/DVD app on the console. When inserting a movie for the first time, your console will prompt you to install the application. If you bypassed this screen, go to "Store" from the dashboard, followed by "Apps." Search for "Blu-ray" and select "Download" to install. Alternatively, if you wish to use voice commands, you can say "Xbox, Bing" on the dashboard to open Bing search. When it loads, say "Xbox, Blu-ray player app" to locate the app and install. After installation, select "Blu-ray Player" on your dashboard to start watching your movie. The Xbox One supports all Blu-ray regions.

VB Programming
Radio Buttons & Check Boxes
|Radio Buttons
The event generated when the user interacts with these controls is not a click event as it is when the user interacts with a button, but a CheckChanged event. This is because when the user clicks on these controls, they intend to change the current status of the control. A problem occurs when a beginning programmer, or one new to VB, assumes that a click means the user is selecting (turning on) that option. It is actually just as likely that the user is deselecting or turning off that option.
Think about the operation of a Check Box compared to a Radio Buttons. Check boxes have to be deselected by the program user whereas Radio Buttons are automatically deselected for the user when they click on a different radio button.
So, does clicking turn the check on or does it turn the check off? Truthfully it can do either one. If the check is currently on then clicking it will turn the check off and vica versa. This is precisely the reason why the procedure is named CheckChanged. It is changing the check from its current state to the opposite state. Radio buttons and Check boxes are controls which alter the state of something in a program. Buttons are controls which activate an event procedure. If a programmer forgets that the Radio button and Check box event is CheckChanged, their coding will generate peculiar and unreliable results. Here is a program you can download which demonstrates this behaviour.
The most important effect of this, is that when we code using these controls, we must not assume that the user event is turning the state of the control on, rather it is changing the state of the control. It might be turning the control off. The easiest way to cope with this ambiguity when coding is to always use a Forced Choice selection structure. Explicitly check the state of the control by testing the Checked property of the control. Then provide one set of commands to be executed if the control is being selected, and another set of cammands to be executed if the control is being deselected. This way we can code the event to respond appropriately whether it is turned on or whether it is turned off. Typical code would look like this:
If EmailOptIn.Checked then
optIn = True
optIn = False
End If
This is better code - more reliable - than using just a conditional and incorrectly assuming that the user is always turning the control on. Making assumptions about the state of controls in programming always causes problems sooner or later.
Organizational Behaviour
Motivation - A New Look
If there is one topic which grabs the attention of people who are responsible for getting things done, it is motivation! Although to be truthful, most of these people are not really interested in motivating others, according to the usual interpretation of the term, they are primarily interested in getting the particular task at hand done. Motivation is defined as an internal process. "Motivation is defined as: those psychological processes that cause the arousal, direction and persistence of voluntary ations that are goal directed."1 So if they are not really interested in motivation, what are they interested in? In a word: movement! They really do not care how people feel about what they are doing, they only care that the task at hand gets done.
Hertzberg understood this process very well. In his well known article "One More Time: How Do You Motivate Employees?"2 he describes this exact issue. He points out that the simplest, most practical and fastest method of getting things done is KITA (a kick in the pants). In fact he goes into quite a bit of detail about the various types of KITA that have been perfected over the decades. Starting with Negative Physical KITA he points out that although it is effective and gets results quickly it has the following unfortunate side effects.
- It is inelegant.
- It contradicts the precious image of benevolence that most organizations cherish.
- Since it is a physical attack, it directly stimulate the autonomic nervous system, and this often results in an automatic reaction: the employee kicks back.
This new form of KITA has numerous advantages.
- The cruelty is not visible.
- Since it tends to inhibit the higher cortical centers of the brain there is a reduced probability of pyhsical reaction.
- Since the number of psychological pains a person can feel is almost infinite, there are numerous possible avenues of attack.
- The person administering the kick can let the system do the work rather than administering it directly. They thus appear to remain above it all.
- People who practice negative psychological KITA tend to get some ego satisfaction, whereas pysically drawing blood may seem abhorent to them.
- If the recipient does complain, they can always be accused of being paranoid since there is no tangible evidence of an actual attack.
As our society has undergone repeated periods of enlightenment (presumably) over the last century, another suggestion has been made. How about offering a carrot instead of using a stick. So is born Positive KITA. The overwhelming view of many, people and business people in particular, is that this is motivation. However, we have again merely changed tatics. Instead of pushing, we are now pulling. The recipient is still moving in response to our action. They are not motivated, they are reacting to a stimulous. Hertzberg makes this clear with two examples. While a person may train their dog with negative physical KITA - a newspaper; after the training is finished one uses treats, rewards, incentives - Positive KITA instead of negative KITA. All this notwithstanding, if I push (kick), or pull (rewards) it is I who am motivated and the dog who moves. Hertzberg then likens negative KITA to rape and positive KITA to seduction. If rape is terrible, seduction is much worse because we have cooperated in our own downfall. So why is it so popular? - Tradition, and after all why kick someone when you can get them to kick themself?
So why is this important? There are two reasons. The first is illustrated by a story told by Robin Williams about how she learned the importance of naming things.
Many years ago I received a tree identification book for Christmas. I was at my parents home, and after all the gifts had been opened I decided to go out and identify the trees in the neighbourhood. Before I went out, I read through part of the book. The first tree in the book was the Joshua tree because it took only two clues to identify it. Now the Joshua tree is a really weird-looking tree and I looked at that picture and said to myself, Oh, we dont have that kind of tree in Northern California. That is a weird-looking tree. I would know if I saw that tree, and Ive never seen one before. So I took my book and went outside. My parents lived in a cul-de-sac of six homes. Four of those homes had Joshua trees in the front yard. I had lived in that house for thirteen years, and I had never seen a Joshua tree. I took a walk around the block, and there must have been a sale at the nursery when everyone was landscaping their new homes at least 80 percent of the homes had Joshua trees in the front yards. And I had never seen one before! Once I was conscious of the tree, once I could name it, I saw it everywhere. Which is exactly the point. Once you can name something, you are conscious of it. You have power over it. You own it. Youre in control. 3It is important to be able to name our concepts. It is essential to identifying them, understanding them and using them effectively.
The second point becomes clear when considering some advice I received as a young man. The finer the degree of distinction in your terminology, the deeper will be your understanding of the concept and all related phenomena. If motivation as a concept seems muddy, and it is to most people, then separating it into two concepts: Motivation and Movement helps clarify what is going on. Most business people are not at all concerned with motivation. They are only concerned with movement. This finer distinction enables us to better understand the concepts. There are two concepts here not just one. Knowing this enables us to make certain observations which will allow us to separate the concepts and make better use of the new distinction we have just made.
- Motivation takes more time to create if it can be created at all.
- Motivation contains its own initiating stimulous. It is self starting and possibly self sustaining.
- Movement can be created quickly.
- Movement requires the administration of an initiating stimulous.
If we want our unit to run mostly unattended then we need to take the time to create an atmosphere in which our agents (employees) can and do motivate themselves. This is much more difficult and takes much longer but the effects last longer and can become self-sustaining!

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- We are now approaching a very dangerous period for the markets from a monetary standpoint, but it's not for any reason you've probably ever heard about. It started, as it usually does, in mid-April. It will extend until mid-to-late September.
According to Austrian business cycle theory, an increase in the money supply leads to booms. The booms cause malinvestment, or investment in the wrong industries. Later, when the money supply stops increasing, industries with the most malinvestment, especially banks which live on new money along with industries that require very low interest rates, crash. The market is dragged down with them, and the bust begins. The applicable central bank then increases the money supply once again, and the business cycle starts anew with a renewed boom, to our chagrin.
Tracking the money supply is easy. The numbers are published weekly on the Federal Reserve H.6 report. There are different ways to calculate it, but let's look at the weekly average of the non seasonally adjusted M2 numbers. You'll notice on the May 21 release that money supply peaked at $12.081 trillion on April 6. Three weeks later, money supply was down over 2.2% to $11.824 trillion. That's a big drop.
But the thing is, large drops in money supply generally tend to happen around mid-April. These don't pose a big threat to stocks, so long as growth recovers quickly and nothing happens to spook the markets. But if it doesn't, and some big event catalyzes a selling frenzy, like Grexit, or a rate hike, or Ukraine and Russia, then there is no new money in the system to counter hard selling. The result could be a crash.

Hiring a Contractor
Tip Of The Day, Antonio Sabato, Jr. , Aired on Fri 9/5
DIY, Contractor
The Back Story
How do you know if your home improvement project is a do-it-yourself or if you need to hire a pro? If your project involves running new electrical or gas lines you should hire a licensed electrician or plumber. A pro knows the right tools for the job and knows when local codes apply. Staying current with building and safety codes is very important. If you tackle an electric project on your own, it may not be covered by your insurance if something goes wrong. It's a good rule of thumb to do your homework. Consult a professional if the job seems to be complicated or out of your comfort zone.

Antonio Sabato Jr. once overlooked Time Square from a 90-foot billboard dressed only in his Calvin Klein underwear. The iconic fashion designer hired the actor to be the company's first celebrity model since Mark Wahlberg and it was shot by famed photographer, Herb Ritts. That combination caused a sensation when the photos appeared in every magazine and hundreds of billboards throughout the world.

A KNOTTED KONGI, By Kennedy Emetulu
NEWISSUES, Abuja
I have totally kept out of the Soyinka saga up till now, but I can't help saying something now. Like Soyinka, I am repulsed by the election of the Donald Trump fellow as the President of the United States, but unlike Soyinka, I haven't been very dramatic in my response to it. Now, watching all the drama that has trailed Soyinka's dramatic declarations of tearing up this or holding a private funeral for that, isn't it ironic that the man who fashions the drama of existence isn't quite receptive of the drama he himself has created unsolicited?
Truly, it's amusing stuff watching Soyinka star in a play he himself as created as the villain, the authoritarian who puts down every opposition to his position, good and bad, with some supposedly superior politics of language complete with condescension and amped indignation against the multitude of unschooled and uncultured Lilliputians trying to pull him down. The most amusing of all Soyinka's threats is his threat to move his foundation out of Nigeria! Hehe!
I wouldn't say Soyinka's life at this point is almost a Greek tragedy, but I suspect this is not how he wants to be remembered after such a haloed existence at the finest point of our collective consciousness. Soyinka, one of the founders of one of the most anti-establishment confraternities on campus in the days of colonialism, the man who's traversed the nation's history in imperious rejection of hubris is himself mired in the muck of pettiness and petulance. Yes, we are all watching as this man who's been a thorn in the flesh of military rule (even though he served General Ibrahim Babangida as head of the Federal Road Safety Corps), this intrepid tormentor of the abhorrent Sani Abacha and Olusegun Obasanjo his brother, morphs into a tangled knot of the indefensible.
I think Soyinka is mishearing the message from the angry mob he's attacking. They don't have to be articulate, they don't have to be cerebral or intelligent, they don't have to understand the finer points of a figure of speech by a wordsmith, all they have to be is what they are – angry at the transformation of a tribune of the people. Calling them all sorts of unprintable names and holding a private funeral to mourn their supposed loss of common sense will not kill them. Moving his foundation to the moon or Mars will not block their noise from his ears. As far as he and his foundation remain in the universe, he will hear them. To them, if Soyinka has lost his voice at home in the face of the multiple assaults visited upon Nigerians by those he helped intellectualise their politics to acceptability, he's got to accept his position as a prisoner of their putrid politics of change. No one put him in that cell, he walked in there unaided and clamped himself in!
So, this proxy drama is not over his position on the election of Donald Trump or whether or not he's tearing up his green card after the outcome of the election in the United States. This drama is a response to Soyinka's role in bringing the locusts that are ruining the nation today. You cannot be all unaccepting of the values of a Donald Trump abroad while winking encouragingly at a Muhammadu Buhari at home.

The Scoggy, simply put, is a scarf for your doggy! But not just any old scarf! The Scoggy is a true fashion statement for your pooch.
Unlike doggy bandanas, (so yesterday's style), you simply slip The Scoggy over your doggy's head. There's nothing to tie, loop, snap, or fasten and unlike a bandana that ends up looking like a bib, the Scoggy is a circular scarf - looks great from any angle! Your doggy can wear The Scoggy on its own but it also fits easily over any dog collar and it's just so darn comfortable, day and night. And what we like to chant here:
"Every doggy needs a Scoggy!"

Feyenoord dealt AZ Alkmaar's title hopes a huge blow with a 4-2 victory.Feyenoord dealt AZ Alkmaar's title hopes a potentially fatal blow with a 4-2 victory on Sunday.
It was second versus third at De Kuip, but it was the hosts who came out triumphant mainly due to Salomon Kalou's hat-trick.
Kalou and Romeo Castelen's strike made it 2-0 at half time, and Kalou's second two minutes after the break put Feyenoord well in control.
Robin Nelisse pulled a goal back for AZ but Kalou's hat-trick sealed the three points for the hosts despite a late consolation for the visitors from Michael Buskermolen.
AZ remain ten points behind league leaders PSV Eindhoven, while Feyenoord have closed the gap between themselves and AZ to seven points.
Bottom side Den Bosch enjoyed a welcome victory at fellow strugglers RBC Roosendaal despite falling behind after just four minutes to Donny de Groot's strike.
Jochen Janssen replied just two minutes later for the visitors and he proved to be Den Bosch's hero as he also grabbed the winner four minutes after the break.
NEC Nijmegen edged a 4-3 thriller at home to Groningen, with the winner coming just five minutes from the end.
Edgar Barreto and Bart van den Eede put NEC 2-0 ahead but for the visitors to blast back to go 3-2 in front thanks to goals from Hugo, Stefano Seedorf and Sander van Gessel.
Van den Eede struck his second to make it 3-3 and Andrzej Niedzielan popped up in the 85th minute to steal the points for NEC.Roda came from a goal down at home against NAC Breda to eventually take the three points with a 2-1 win.
David Mendes da Silva gave the visitors the lead just two minutes before the break.
Sergio responded five minutes after the interval and Arouna Kone popped up with a 76th minute winner for the hosts.
Match Summaries:
Feyenoord 4-2 AZ Alkmaar

Why is Today "#WorldNoResourcesDay" and Why Do Words Matter?
I learned about this the other today via Twitter (hat tip to @agile_memes), but today is "World No Resources Day" (see hashtag #WorldNoResourcesDay). See the small website at http://worldnoresourcesday.com/ and their thoughts on "why should I join in?"
I'm not sure who is behind this. It's probably not some Communist May Day thing. Maybe it is. Even if it were that, I'd still agree that it's not cool to dehumanize people by calling them "resources." I don't often agree with Communists since they hate Lean (or maybe they're actually complaining about L.A.M.E. and Taylorism), but I digress.
The one call to action on this day is to remind people not to call people "resources."
You might say, "Well, it's just a word." But, words have meaning and an impact.I support #WorldNoResourcesDay - treat people like people Click To Tweet
Even going back to my college internship days at Ford, I cringed and balked at the dehumanizing terms that would be used for people in the workplace.
These terms include not just "resources" but also "heads" and "warm bodies." It's ironic that old school managers sometimes refer to people as "heads" when they're not engaging peoples heads and brains in the workplace.
"I was just hired for my arms and my back," said a person at GM once (this person was an hourly employee and UAW member).
I've heard some in healthcare that the term "staff" is somewhat dehumanizing. I guess I've used that term "staff" and haven't felt too bad about it.
Toyota calls employees "team members." Starbucks calls their baristas "partners." IU Health Goshen Hospital makes a point (starting with their now retired CEO who we interviewed for Healthcare Kaizen) of calling employees "colleagues." The CEO calling people "colleagues" (as opposed to "subordinates," an awful term) sends a strong message about how people should treat each other in the workplace.
I think when we use terms that dehumanize people, it's unfortunately easier to treat them badly or fire them. Maybe that's why numbers-driven managers use euphamisms.
Instead of having to "fire people" we can "do a RIF", "make some resources redundant," or "terminate" them (ugh, there's a violent term).
It should be painful to fire people. When you're a business owner or an executive, it's a burden and a responsibility – and one that should be taken seriously. You're not just "maximizing shareholder value," you're affecting somebody's life and paycheck. It shouldn't be taken lightly.
What do you think about workplace terms for people? What are terms that you've found to be ugly and which are words that are positive? Or is this whole discussion a waste of time? Leave a comment and chime in…

The aim of this study was to describe the concentration of lead in umbilical cord blood (UCB) of neonates born from primiparous women who live in northern Lima. A cross sectional study was carried out at Cayetano Heredia National Hospital, from July 2011 to January 2012. 100 neonates born from primiparous women who lived in northern Lima in the previous 5 years or more were included. Umbilical cord lead levels were measured by the atomic adsorption method, and the demographic information and risk factors of the neonates were filled in a patient record designed to this purpose. 30% of the neonates had concentration of lead in UCB that was considered as increased risk (≥ 3,0 μg/dL), 16% of the cases had had toxic concentration of lead in UCB (≥ 5 μg/dL). We conclude that there are a high percentage of neonates contaminated with lead in the northern Lima.

Objective To determine the association between sexual function and depression in sexually active, mid-aged women while controlling for sociodemographical and clinical factors. Methods Data were analyzed from 335 healthy, sexually active, Peruvian women (4059 years) who simultaneously filled out the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI), the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) and a general questionnaire containing female/partner data. Correlations between the measures of all tools were analyzed. Results The median age of studied women was 49 years; 76.7% had low schooling, 40% were postmenopausal and 15.2% used hormone therapy. Regarding the partner, 11% and 10.5% presented erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation, respectively. FSFI total scores displayed significant correlations with BDI and MRS scores (total, psychological and urogenital). Multiple linear regression analysis was used to obtain an association model between sexual function and depression, explaining 88% of the variance. In this model, sexual function was inversely associated with depression, yet confounded by MRS urogenital scores. In addition, sexual function was inversely correlated to partner sexual function and to female MRS psychological scorings and positively to premenopausal status. Conclusion In this mid-aged series, sexual function was significantly associated with depression, in addition to hormonal status and partner sexual function. © 2011 International Menopause Society.

The Belén flora, in north coastal Peru, is the most diverse fruit and seed assemblage yet known from the Paleogene of South America. Little original paleobotanical work has been performed on this assemblage since the pioneering treatments published by E. W. Berry in the 1920s, and the precise age has not been determined. Nevertheless, the flora has been regarded as a focal point in understanding the vegetational, orogenic, and climatic history of northern South America, and in recent literature it has been assumed to be early Eocene. In order to tighten this age assignment, which has varied from early Eocene to early Oligocene in the opinions of different authors, we revisited the Belén site, measured the stratigraphic section, and processed the fruit- and seed-containing sediment for age-diagnostic microfossils. Although pollen and foraminifera were not recovered, the sediment is rich in diatoms. The diatom assemblage includes Lisitzinia ornata and Rocella vigilans, among others, indicating a latest early Oligocene age (~30-28.5 Ma) for these deeper marine sediments, which we infer to have been subsequently reworked into the Belén environment. We also reevaluate the botanical identifications, which are based on the original museum specimens supplemented by more recently collected specimens. The Belén flora provides a window into extinct forests in South America that were present before the rising of the Andes in western Peru. © 2012 by The University of Chicago.

Congenital generalized lipodystrophy (CGL) is a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the absence of functional adipose tissue. We identified two pedigrees with CGL in the community of the Mestizo tribe in the northern region of Peru. Five cases, ranging from 15 months to 7 years of age, presented with generalized lipodystrophy, muscular prominence, mild intellectual disability, and a striking aged appearance. Sequencing of the BSCL2 gene, known to be mutated in type 2 CGL (CGL2; Berardinelli-Seip syndrome), revealed a homozygous deletion of exon 3 in all five patients examined, suggesting the presence of a founder mutation. This intragenic deletion appeared to be mediated by recombination between Alu sequences in introns 2 and 3. CGL2 in this population is likely underdiagnosed and undertreated because of its geographical, socio-economic, and cultural isolation. 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Production of table grapes is a major export commodity in the region of Piura, one of the most important grape-production areas of Peru. Characteristic symptoms of Botryosphaeria dieback were observed in vineyards throughout this region. The aim of this study was to characterise the symptoms of dieback of table grapes; evaluate the incidence and prevalence of the disease; identify the aetiological agent and evaluate its pathogenicity and virulence. The disease was present in all vineyards surveyed but incidence varied with location. A botryosphaeriaceous fungus was isolated from symptomatic plants collected in five different vineyards in Piura. On the basis of morphological and cultural characters as well as phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), and part of the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (EF1-α) the isolates were identified as belonging to the species Lasiodiplodia theobromae. Inoculation of cv. Red Globe plants confirmed the pathogenicity of the isolates and revealed differences in virulence among the isolates tested. This is the first report of L. theobromae as causal agent of dieback of table grapes in Peru, which represents a threat to Peruvian vineyards productivity and longevity. © 2014, Koninklijke Nederlandse Planteziektenkundige Vereniging.

The Peruvian Plantcutter (Phytotoma raimondii) is an endemic bird from northwestern Peru. It is considered endangered due to habitat fragmentation. Although there are many studies on this species, some aspects of its natural history and habitat requirements remain little studied. Here, I assess home range, site fidelity, and resource selection in four pairs of Peruvian Plantcutters in the dry forest of Talara-Piura between February and August 2013. Home ranges varied from 0.68 to 3.44 ha (mean = 1.70 ± 0.99). There was strong evidence for site fidelity of all eight individuals. Plantcutters favored the use of palo negro (Grabowskia boerhaaviaefolia) and algarrobo (Prosopis pallida). These plants are used by the Peruvian Plantcutter for foraging, nesting, and shelter; therefore both plants constitute important resources, which must be considered in conservation plans for the species.

The evidence supports the hypothesis of the cancer stem cells, which postulate that they are responsible for the initiation, the recurrence, metastasis and the resistance to anti neoplasia treatments, creating the need for therapies aimed specifically at these subpopulations of cells with characteristics of stem cells within the most heterogeneous malignant tumors. Within tumors subsets of the cells transformed in neoplasia show the expression on its surface of molecules that are not typically present on the surface of the surrounding normal cells. In some cases, especially in the malignant melanomas, the lymphocytes T cytotoxic directed against these antigens associated with tumors have been isolated to create antibodies and somehow reduce the disease. The approach to vaccine against cancer therapy is based on the idea that the immune system could saddle a rejection response force against the conglomerate of the cells transformed neoplasia. The new markers that are safe and allow direct immunotherapy for eradication of the tumor, with the combination of many therapies, and thus have an efficient outcome in the treatment of this disease is currently looking for.

We know that our cells have gene expression patterns that can be on altered over and give rise lead to cancer. The epigenetic is the study of the changes in the gene expression without modifying the DNA sequence. The epigenetic and the genetic alterations are considered as two separate mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of the cancer. During the last decade have emphasized the field of the epigenetics to find applications in the diagnosis and therapy in this disease, along with microRNAs play an important role in the silencing of certain genes against certain conditions. In this review, we study and discussed the epigenetic changes and microRNAs that are notorious in the lung cancer and the importance of both in the early diagnosis of this disease and his therapy they are discussed. © 2015, Sociedad Venezolana de Oncologia.

The cells acquire different patterns of gene expression during differentiation to adapt to a changing environment. Epigenetic and genetic alterations are considered to be 2 independent mechanisms involved in the onset and progression of cancer. Epigenetic mechanisms may be important for biological events such as the genetic mechanisms that do not involve a change in DNA sequence, but if they have an important role in modifying gene expression. During the last decade, research in epigenetic alterations in cancer progression has been improved thanks to the emergence of new technologies, to find applications in the diagnosis and therapy of this disease. In this review is discussed the current evidence on the role of epigenetic mechanisms in the progression of various cancers highlighting the advantages of the investigation of epigenetics in future new treatments. 1665-9201 © 2014 Gaceta Mexicana de Oncología.

Work at Older Ages: Is Raising the Early Retirement Age an Option for Social Security Reform?
This report examines how changes in worker capabilities and job requirements over the past few decades affect the ability of older workers to work past the Social Security Early Retirement Age of 62. This issue arises because a possible reform of Social Security could raise the early retirement age. This change might be made in conjunction with raising the Normal Retirement Age in order to offset the reduction in annual benefits that workers would receive when retiring at the Early Retirement Age. Fairness is one aspect of the issue of raising Social Security's Early Retirement Age. Would such a change be fair to demographic groups with relatively short life expectancy, to people with physically demanding jobs, or to people at older ages unable to work or to find work? The issue of fairness can be addressed in terms of cross-sectional equity or intergenerational equity. Because workers worked to older ages early in the history of Social Security, the past becomes a natural comparison. This paper focuses on intergenerational equity, comparing different demographic groups over time. The intergenerational question has two parts. First, have older workers' capabilities changed over the past few decades in ways that would affect continued employment? Second, have job requirements changed in ways that would affect continued employment for older workers?

Crawley boss John Gregory insists Conor Henderson has not been signed as a replacement for Andy Drury.
Former Arsenal and Hull City midfielder Henderson became Crawley's eighth signing of the summer when he agreed a one-year contract yesterday.
The 22-year-old's arrival will increase speculation about Drury's future with Gregory confirming that Reds had rejected a second bid from his old club Luton Town this week because it did not meet a "six-figure" release clause in his contract.
Gregory said: "Their second offer was not much better than the first so we turned it down. They both fell well short of our valuation of Andy and to be honest even if it was a penny less than the release clause then we wouldn't have accepted as I don't want him to go.
"I'm planning to build my team around Andy this season so unless they offer the amount that is in his contract and take it out of our hands then he is going nowhere."

Our favourite cum-dumpster cutie – Abraham Montenegro is back for more, and we always make sure this hot-hole-hunk leaves the set sopping, spunked and sated. Who better to put this cute, bearded lad through his paces than, broad, muscular and very, oh-so-very sexy Antonio Miracle, the devil himself couldn't have come up with a hotter, nastier coupling. Abraham drops to his knees like a stone to unzip Antonio's trousers and unleash that hot, veiny meat, its growing in size and rigidity as it slides between his lips. Abraham luvs sucking hot cock and feeling their appreciation growing in his mouth as Antonio thrusts and the head of his sensitive cock reaches the unpassable bend in the cute subs throat. Randy stud Antonio is taking no prisoners and when he's teased that hot hole open with his probing spit smeared tongue he knows his bottom-boy is ready for a hot, length of bareback cock, not just because Abraham's hole is yielding to his tongue but because the oversexed lad is very vocally begging for raw, uncut dick. We make sure we're in close so you can see that hole ripple around that uncut dick as this hot lad gets ready for a spunky finish!

It's hard to imagine Uber passengers being rude or verbally abusive to their driver's, but i'm sure it happens. A recent incident in the US has gone viral after an Uber driver captured a verbally abusive passenger who just happens to be the oldest son of one of New York's most infamous landlords. Jake Croman was filmed telling the driver "Go f**king drive, you little f**k. Minimum wage fa**ot. Go f**k yourself" and kept insulting the driver after he was apparently kicked out of the taxi.
Warning: foul language.
The driver, Artur Zawada apparently has an Uber rating of 4.8 after 2600 rides and had this to say on Youtube.
"This is 4th time that I have been harassed by this rider and his friends. Nov. Dec. and twice in March. I told him on 3rd occasion that I requested Uber to banned him but he is/was using friends accounts. Told him and his friends that I will not take them and that he/they need to get out of my car….. For that I was falsely accused, called names etc.
4th time… Rider knew from Uber application who is the driver. He had option to cancel to avoid any issues but he/they proceeded to abuse, harrase, belittle and provoke like kindergarten thugs."
Croman though has responded to Buzzfeed saying
"This video shows one side of an argument I had with an Uber driver two weeks ago after he refused to pick me up on the basis of my religion. What you don't see in the video is that the driver had made a number of offensive anti-Semitic remarks that provoked my response. I am not proud of my reaction to his discrimination and I regret my choice of words. Shortly after the verbal altercation, I filed a complaint with the Ann Arbor Police Department and they are now dealing with the issue." [BF]
Croman is the son of Steven Croman, CEO of Croman Realty.

I just started taking Zoloft 50mg,(5 days ago). I take it at night before bed, but I'm so tired during the day that I thought maybe I should switch to mornings.READ MORE
When Is The Best Time Of Day To Take Zoloft?
Hi, Brenda. It might be that in time, the Zoloft won't make you quite as tired and this could be a temporary side effect. The other thing is, if it's making you too tired during the day when you're taking it at night, I'd be afraid of it being even worse taking it during the day. You could talk to your doctor about it, or maybe try taking it during the day on a week-end or a time when it's not critical for you to be alert. A pharmacist might even have some suggestions about it.
Thank you for your question, hope that helped.
Hi Brenda,
I know you posted this quite awhile ago, but I was wondering if you resolved the problem? It can take weeks before temporary side effects fade. Your doctor or psychiatrist can help you figure out ways to lessen these effects. There are also several medications you can take if one does not work; your doctor should discuss these options with you.
