As I write this article, spring is only one day away. One might expect it to start off warm, but no such luck.
I awoke too early this past Saturday morning and peeked out the window, expecting to see rain. It was dry, and I decided to go back to bed because it would be another couple of hours of sleep I could get before Anthony Gray showed up for our birdwatching excursion. When I woke up later, the ground was almost white with snow. Looking out my kitchen window, I could see that I must have been the only one feeding the birds in my neighborhood.
Here is another slightly chilly start to our morning travel, hopefully in the bird world. Birds seem to be at a standstill just before spring arrives with the breeding season at hand. In another month, the excitement should be in the air.
This weekend started out with overcast skies, but before night fell, it started clearing off. Sunday brought clear skies and, as I am writing this, it is a tad warmer.
Here is another weather break where it is so warm one day and cold the next. As I write this, it is a warm 69 degrees outside, and by tonight, it will be a cold 33 degrees. That's what they say about the weather here in Tennessee - if you don't like it, wait about 30 minutes, and it will change.
Well, I enjoyed another great weekend with decent weather and very nice temperatures. Before too long, the mornings will be tolerable and from midday on way too hot. This week Anthony Gray and I did not get out to do a little birding. I hope to get back on track next week with my best Bubba.
It was so good to have a little spell of rain this past weekend. It seems that the rain that falls is so much better for our gardens than what comes out of our hosepipes. People from other areas have trouble understanding the concept of a hosepipe. I have always called it that.
Even though they are still present and feeding all over my yard, I will try not to mention the "H" word. This time of the year, when cold snaps happen to our northern states, it's time to be preparing for an influx of those feathered friends that call Tennessee home for the winter months.

Switzerland has long been home to some of the world's biggest banks. Now it's home to a major player in Bitcoin, the upstart digital currency.
Xapo, a sort of digital bank vault for Bitcoin, said Thursday that it's moving its headquarters to the European banking capital for its "regulatory stability, international neutrality and its deep-seated tradition in global finance," according to founder and CEO Wences Casares.
Following the emergence of Bitcoin, a number of companies have built "wallets" for people to store their digital currency. Xapo's version is for longer-term storage, known as a vault, which lives in offline servers and are pitched as providing a more secure environment for storing big stashes of Bitcoin.
Xapo is moving its headquarters to Zurich from Palo Alto, Calif., citing customer privacy concerns. Previously, the company had moved its vaults to the alpine nation.
In moving, Xapo joins a number of other companies based outside the US such as Coinapult in Panama, and Bitcoin Deutshland GmbH in Germany. The once-popular and now-bankrupt exchange Mt. Gox was famously based in Japan.
Xapo's affinity for Switzerland is based on the country's regulations around financial privacy, friendliness to business, and its political independence and stability. In particular, it cited Switzerland's Federal Act on Banks and Savings Banks (known as the Banking Law of 1934) as providing the kind of privacy protection its customers and potential customers say they want. Under that law, it is a criminal act for banks to reveal an account holder's identity.
As a result, the country has become a destination for criminal activity and tax evaders. However, in 2013, the US Department of Justice successfully convinced 100 Swiss banks to cooperate with it by handing over information about US customers suspected of evading taxes.
But while most customers may benefit from the privacy law's protections, a spokesperson for Xapo emphasized that the company will continue to verify users' identities before opening new accounts and that it will report any suspicious activity.
In the US, the level of privacy is significantly lower. By law, US banks are required to file reports for any transaction over $10,000, including the account holder's name, account number, address, and Social Security number.
BitLicense, a set of regulations for digital currencies proposed by New York state has made some Bitcoin companies and executives nervous. The New York Department of Financial Services's Benjamin Lawsky is spearheading the initiative, which is expected to be finalized as soon as the end of the month.
As Fortune previously reported, BitLicense would regulate Bitcoin wallets and exchanges along with requiring companies that transmit digital currencies to get two different licenses in each state. Licensed companies would need to get approval for new rounds of funding from outside investors and may need to get approval for every new Bitcoin product they release.
Xapo, however, told Fortune that BitLicense had no bearing on the company's decision to move to Switzerland. A spokesperson also added no other particular regulation affected the decision.
But in any case, Xapo's move is telling of the industry's feelings about regulation. Much of Bitcoin's appeal — anonymity, efficiency, decentralized control — could easily evaporate in the face of regulation and discourage both businesses and users of the digital currency. On the other hand, regulation could tamp down on abuse and criminal activity.
(An earlier version of the story incorrectly spelled Wences Casares's last name. It's been updated with the correct spelling.)

The choice of what to do with one's life is not an easy one. There are so many options to choose from but what matters most is the kind of fulfillment and the bliss that you get from the job. The gaming industry is one of the fastest evolving industries in the world currently, and there are so many opportunities to choose from. Finding a job in the gaming industry demands a lot of courage, skill, dedication, creativity, and more so talent. There is so much to do in the gaming industry you will be spoiled for choice.
Game Designer
Game designing is the foundation of the entire industry. A game designer is the one who conceives the idea and he or she is the brains behind the concept of the game. This demands a lot of creativity, but even more, an educational background in graphic design can come in handy.
By taking basic arts and design courses, you get the upper hand in being taken up for a job as a game designer. Some companies will demand sketches and this is where your talent and creativity comes in. The emphasis is basically on the level of creativity and the ability to come up with new things, simply your ability to have a different perspective is what matters most.
Game Developer
Developers form a very important part of the gaming industry. They determine what becomes of the idea conceived by the designer. The team of developers is made of different professionals and this is where there are numerous opportunities and the need for academic qualifications arises.
Game Programmer
Programmers design and develop codes that make the game run on computers. They are basically computer engineers. A bachelor's degree in computer science or computer engineering will put you at an advantage when it comes to landing a job in the gaming industry. Other skills like learning a new language make you diverse and it increases your marketability.
Game Animator
Artists and animators bring to life the concept of the game. They create pictures that form the images in the game. The gaming industry demands something creative and one that is user-friendly. This is exactly what animators need to put into perspective. A bachelor's degree in fine arts, computer graphics or other courses such as computer science and programming are mandatory when it comes to landing this job in the gaming industry.
However, there are other skills that are mandatory for any animator. Talent is fundamental and creativity complements talent. Communication skills and proper time management attributes make one a worthy candidate in the eyes of potential employers. If you are not talented in the field of arts, you should not be discouraged. What matters most is your ability to learn and adopt new skills that are in line with what the gaming industry demands.
Game Tester
Video game testers are very important personnel when it comes to gaming. Their work is centered on quality assurance. The focus is to ensure the clients get value for their money. In addition to this, their goal is to identify problems with the game, report them and ensure they are addressed.
There is diversity in this job but computer knowledge and skills are essential. To an added advantage, some of training on customer relations can come in handy in this particular job.
Technical Support
Last but not least, there is the provision of being part of the tech support team in the gaming industry. They form a very important connection between the company and the members of the public who get to enjoy and use the game. For this reason, the technical support team is more or less like the ambassadors of the gaming industry. Good computer knowledge is essential since the job is centered on everything to do with computers. More importantly, a diploma or a certificate in public relations can be handy when it comes to such a job.
It is important to understand the diversity in the client base of the gaming industry and for this reason, even proper language and communication skills are fundamental. There is so much to appreciate in the gaming industry. Landing a job demands an aggressive and hardworking nature since competition is also stiff. Having a targeted focus and knowing what you want to do and how to do it is the first step in landing any job, not just in the gaming industry.

How frequently should Dad's blood sugar be tested?
My father-in-law is 90, has type 2 diabetes and resides in a nursing home that only tests his blood sugar three times a week, but gives him insulin daily. We have had issues with this. His in-house doctor says that this is her protocol and isn't willing to change it. Is this normal? What can we do?
Expert Answers
Research suggests at least 25 percent of nursing home residents have diabetes in the United States. Currently, clinical practice guidelines for this vulnerable population do not exist. The issue faced by your father-in-law and the shear numbers of people with diabetes in nursing homes is an example of why we need national guidelines tailored to the unique care environment.
Checking daily glucose is obviously a critical step in optimizing diabetes care, especially since he takes insulin and is statistically at higher risk for hospitalization due to low blood sugar (low glucose or hypoglycemia). Nursing homes often have diabetes care protocols, but they vary by institution. Further, physician's orders for the frequency of glucose monitoring would trump any facility protocol.
Many long-term care residents have multiple medical problems with diabetes taking side stage. If hypoglycemia has not been an issue, and his 3-month glucose average (A1C blood test) has been close to 7%, the physician may think occasional monitoring will provide enough information and keep your father-in-law safe.
What can you do? Discuss your concerns again with the physician and ask why daily monitoring is out of the question. You may also speak to the director of nursing at the facility or contact your local Long-Term Care Ombudsman Resource Center (call 202-332-2275 or check www.ltcombudsman.org to find one in your area). Ombudsmen advocate for residents rights and quality care. And if not satisfied with the care provided, it is within his right to find someone else who is willing to step up his diabetes plan of care.

A key presentation at this year's embedded systems developers' event, the Embedded Masterclass, will explore the use of the Linux operating system for electronic systems and realtime computer systems. The Embedded Masterclass is to be held in Cambridge and Bristol on the 7th and 12th May. Over the past 10 years, various commercial embedded Linux solutions have evolved. Several are now highly refined operating systems that not only exhibit robust real-time performance but can also address the needs of mobile wireless devices. Whether to 'roll your own' Linux OS or buy off the shelf remains a common question in todays embedded space. This presentation will lift the lid off of commercial Linux and show engineers what is inside the very latest offering and why a commercial solution might offer both engineering and commercial benefits to your next project.
This presented is to be given by Aschwin Marsman, a computer science engineer that has been working with Linux since 1993 and with UNIX since 1990. He worked as a software engineer in a number of technical embedded environments, including wafer steppers, air traffic control, self-checkout systems etc. He is also a writer and has published articles in magazines in the Netherlands such as Linux Magazine and Bits&Chips. He started his own company, aYniK Software Solutions in 2001 and is currently working for MontaVista as the Solution Architect for the UK and Benelux.
"In theory Linux is for free," said Richard Blackburn, the organiser of the event. "In practice and in reality there is a cost and it's not insignificant. To get Linux working on a specific hardware and working with specific peripherals can be time consuming and costly. Then there are performance considerations, as many Linux versions are not optimised for real-time systems or systems with limited memory. So, many engineers find themselves asking 'should I buy a commercial version or build my own'. This presentation will focus on what they can expect if they buy it in, and what are the commercial considerations of this route. It should be a popular presentation."
This event will also include a half-day workshop entitled "An Introduction to Embedded Linux". This workshop was oversubscribed last year and held in very high regard by those engineers fortunate to attend. The workshop was is in the form of a technical presentation and hands on development using ARM based hardware.
Over the past 9 years, the Embedded Masterclass has established itself as an important UK event for engineers looking to explore the most recent tools and technologies for the development of embedded systems. Over the years it has grown from a small seminar into a much larger event that now includes a tabletop exhibition, an agenda of technical presentations and a collection of high quality workshops. It attracts electronics engineers, embedded computing engineers, designers and project managers, giving them the chance to meet with engineers from many of the world's leading vendors of development tools and realtime and embedded technologies. The Embedded Masterclass is recognised for the quality of its presentations, which are technical in content and presented by experienced and knowledgeable engineers. It's free to engineers and managers in the technology sector, although the workshop carries a small charge.
The Embedded Masterclass will take place in Cambridge and Bristol on the 7th and 12th May.

Tom asks his son:
- Who do you love more my son? Mum or dad?
Little Jimmy says:
- I love you both equally!
- Great! But if your mum goes to Europe and I go to Asia where would you like to go?
- In Europe – little Jimmy replied.
- But why son?
- Because it is a beautiful continent!
- But what if I go to Europe and your mum goes to Asia?
- I will go to Asia?
- Why!? – Tom asks in anger
Because in that case I would have seen Europe already.

Once upon a time, Playboy was a respectable publication. It featured interviews with distinguished minds and offered a hip jet-set aesthetic to gentlemen of the Cold War; sure there were pictures of naked dames therein, but they were tasteful, not tacky. There was a Playboy television program which highlighted jazz acts, and there was the Playboy Club – a place respectable enough to take a date.
The Playboy Club was a culture unto itself. I recommend you check out The Playboy Club Bunny Manual 1968-69 and Celebs and Common Folk Among Playboy Bunnies: 30 Vintage Photos for a feel for what it was like before things got tasteless, and went belly-up. In addition to all the perks that came with being an esteemed member of the Playboy Club, you also could get a subscription to their quarterly magazine, VIP.

Dust of Kandahar: A Diplomat Among Warriors in Afghanistan, Jonathan S. Addleton
The Dust of Kandahar provides a personal account of one diplomat's year of service in America's longest war. Ambassador Addleton movingly describes the everyday human drama of the American soldiers, local tribal dignitaries, government officials, and religious leaders he interacted and worked with in southern Afghanistan.
Addleton's writing is at its most vivid in his firsthand account of the April 2013 suicide bombing outside a Zabul school that killed his translator, a fellow Foreign Service officer, and three American soldiers. The memory of this tragedy lingers over Addleton's journal entries, his prose offering poignant glimpses into the interior life of a US diplomat stationed in harm's way.

Babe Ruth Deception (A Fraser and Cook Mystery), David O. Stewart
Babe Ruth was indisputably the best left-handed pitcher in the American League. This mystery set in the post-World War One era once again brings together Fraser and Cook investigating the seamier side of baseball in the wake of the 1919 World Series scandal. Gambling, silent film making, boot-legging, tragedy, and bi-racial relationships are featured in this exposé of the dirty underside of baseball. Once again, masterfully blending fact and fiction, David O. Stewart delivers a nail-biting historical mystery that captures an era unlike any America has seen before or since in all its moral complexity and dizzying excitement.
After practicing law for more than 25 years, David O. Stewart turned to writing history (though he still practices law). His first book, The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution was a Washington Post bestseller and won the Washington Writing Award as Best Book of 2007. Two years later, Impeached: The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy, was a Davis-Kidd Bestseller and was called "by all means the best account of this troubled episode" by Professor David Donald of Harvard. American Emperor, Aaron Burr's Challenge to Jefferson's America, released in 2011, won the Society of the Cincinnati's 2013 History Prize. Stewart also writes fiction, most notably the Fraser Cook mystery series. Stewart is president of the Washington Independent Review of Books, an online book review.

Jutland: The Unfinished Battle, Nicholas Jellicoe
One hundred years after Jutland, the first and largest engagement of dreadnoughts in the twentieth century, historians are still fighting this controversial and misunderstood battle. What was in fact a strategic victory stands out starkly against the background of bitter public disappointment in the Royal Navy and decades of divisive acrimony and very public infighting between the camps supporting the two most senior commanders, Jellicoe and Beatty.
Based on the latest research, The Unfinished Battle retells the story of the battle from both a British and German perspective, clarifying the context of Germany's inevitable naval clash. It also traces the dispute known as the "Jutland Controversy" that ensued until Admiral Jellicoe's death in 1935.
Author Nick Jellicoe is uniquely placed to tell the story of Jutland. His naval connections are strong: his father, the second Earl Jellicoe, served as First Lord of the Admiralty while his grandfather, Sir John Jellicoe commanded the Grand Fleet for the first two years of the war from 1914 to 1916. Sir John was famously described by Churchill as being "the only man who could have lost the war in an afternoon." Nick Jellicoe has lived his whole life under the shadow of Jutland. The enduring controversy surrounding his grandfather's actions on that day inspired him to undertake a major investigation of the battle and an analysis of the arguments that followed. This book is the result. Books available for purchase and signing at the lecture.

Ballad of the Green Beret: The Life and Times of Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler from the Vietnam War and Pop Stardom to Murder and an Unsolved, Violent Death, Marc Leepson
Ballad of the Green Beret is about the rough-and-tumble life of Special Forces vet and Sixties pop star Barry Sadler. The top Billboard Hot 100 single of 1966 wasn't The Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" or the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine"--it was "The Ballad of the Green Berets," a hyper-patriotic tribute to the men of the Special Forces by Vietnam veteran, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Barry Sadler. But Sadler's clean-cut, all-American image hid a darker side, a Hunter Thompson-esque life of booze, girls, and guns. Unable to score another hit song, he wrote a string of popular pulp fiction paperbacks that made "Rambo look like a stroll through Disneyland." He killed a lover's ex-boyfriend in Tennessee. Settling in Central America, Sadler ran guns, allegedly trained guerrillas, provided medical care to residents, and caroused at his villa. In 1988 he was shot in the head in Guatemala and died a year later. This life-and-times biography of an American pop culture phenomenon recounts the sensational details of Sadler's life vividly but soberly, setting his meteoric rise and tragic fall against the big picture of American society and culture during and after the Vietnam War.
Marc Leepson, journalist, historian, and author of eight books, most recently What So Proudly We Hailed, the first biography of the author of "The Star-Spangled Banner" in more than 75 years, has taught US history at Lord Fairfax Community College in Warrenton, Virginia. He holds a BA and an MA in History from George Washington University. A former staff writer for Congressional Quarterly in Washington, DC, his work has appeared in many magazines and newspapers, including Civil War Times, America's Civil War, Vietnam, Smithsonian, The Washington Post, New York Times, New York Times Book Review, Wall Street Journal, Baltimore Sun, Chicago Tribune, and USA Today, among others. He also was a long-time contributor to the Encyclopedia Americana Yearbook and writes for the Encyclopedia Americana. Books will be available for purchase and signing at the lecture.

A Walking Tour of Civil War Leesburg, Richard Treat Gillespie
With its key geographic location just two miles from the Potomac Frontier dividing the Confederate and United States, Leesburg was bound to see a good deal of the Civil War. A Walking Tour of Civil War Leesburg with Rich Gillespie will examine the surviving Civil War townscape and watch the War develop and engulf the county seat of Loudoun. In a circuit of the historic district, the emphasis will be on what the 1,500 residents of the town would have seen at various places, and what they would have experienced during 1861-65. The two-hour chronological tour will provide ample spots to sit for the weary, and will paint some vibrant historic portraits to keep people enthralled. Included in the tour will be three skirmish sites, outside stops at two churches soldiers knew well, the courthouse lawn, "the best street in town," Harrison Hall where General Lee stayed, and the Episcopal cemetery.
Richard Treat Gillespie is Executive Director for Northern Virginia's Mosby Heritage Area and a founding member of Loudoun's Civil War Sesquicentennial Steering Committee. Before joining the Mosby Heritage Area Association in 2004, he taught US History and Economics for 30 years at Loudoun Valley High School in Purcellville, VA. A graduate of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, he is a strong believer in melding the classroom, the community, and historic sites through heritage education. This tour will leave from Thomas Balch Library parking lot at 10AM. Note: This tour requires good walking shoes.

Through the Valley: My Captivity in Vietnam, William Reeder, Jr.
Through the Valley is the captivating memoir of the last US Army prisoner captured during the Vietnam War. A narrative of courage, hope, and survival, Through the Valley is more than just a war story. It portrays the thrill and horror of combat, the fear and anxiety of captivity, and the stories of friendships forged and friends lost. During William Reeder's first tour he had flown secret missions deep into enemy territory in Laos, Cambodia, and North Vietnam. In 1971 Reeder was a senior captain on his second tour in Vietnam. Less than a year later, while providing support to forces at the besieged base of Ben Het, Reeder's chopper went down. Though Reeder survived the crash, he was captured after evading the enemy for three days. He was held for weeks in jungle cages before enduring a grueling forced march on the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which cost the lives of seven of his group of twenty-six POWs. Imprisoned in the notorious prisons of Hanoi, Reeder's tenacity in the face of unimaginable hardship is not only a captivating story, but serves as an inspiration to all. He shares the torment and pain of his ordeal, but does so in the light of the hope that he never lost. This memoir reinforces the themes of courage and sacrifice, undying faith, strength of family, loyalty among comrades, and love of country.
William Reeder Jr. is a retired Army colonel and highly decorated combat veteran of the Vietnam War. He received the Silver Star for gallantry, two Distinguished Flying Crosses for heroism, an Air Medal for valor, and three Purple Hearts for wounds received during the events related in this story. Since military retirement, he has continued to be involved in leadership training and education for the US Army and NATO Special Operations Forces. In 2014, he was inducted into the US Army Aviation Hall of Fame. William Reeder lives in Seabeck, Washington. Books available for purchase and signing at the lecture.
Remembering John Hanson, with Peter H. Michael
Remembering John Hanson illuminates a Revolutionary War figure and Founding Father who served as first president of the original United States government chartered under the Articles of Confederation. The biography is the first in over seventy years and illustrates why some Americans selected Hanson as their choice to be the nation's first president. Remembering John Hanson brings to light the story of the destruction of Hanson's tomb in the 1980s and the author's rediscovery of its site while working on the book. Well-researched and revelatory, the book also addresses current efforts to rekindle the nation's memory of Hanson and to dispel odd Internet myths that have arisen about him in recent years. The book has received two national book awards in biography: the 2013 eLit Silver Prize in Biography and the 2013 USA Book Awards Finalist Prize in Biography.
Peter H. Michael, a descendant of John Hanson, is cofounder and president of the John Hanson Memorial Association, Inc., a national body commemorating President Hanson's life, presidency, and nation-saving accomplishments. The Association sponsors the John Hanson National Memorial and the Jane Hanson National Memorial, both in Frederick, Maryland.

Michael has also served with the United Nations and the Population Council in Asia. Other recent books include An American Family of the Underground Railroad; Guide to Freedom: Rediscovering the Underground Railroad; and Palace of Yawns, a 365-day Southeast Asia journal at the end of the Viet Nam War. He was educated at the University of Maryland, Berkeley, and Princeton.

Endurance Technologies IPO was subscribed by 36.37 times on the last day of the public offer till 3.45 pm. The issue received bids for 62,65,76,340 shares against 1,72,29,118 shares offered by the company, according to the data available with NSE. The company is an auto component manufacturer engaged in design, development, validation, testing, manufacturing, delivery and aftermarket sale service for a wide range of technology-intensive auto component products.
Endurance Technologies has fixed a price band of Rs 467-472 per equity share for the offer which is scheduled to close on Friday (October 7). The issue is being managed by Axis Capital and Citigroup Global Markets India Pvt Ltd. Shares of the company are proposed to be listed on BSE and National Stock Exchange (NSE).
Brokerage firm YES Securities is positive on the ongoing public offer of Endurance Technologies. The brokerage house in a research report said, "At the price band of Rs 467-472 per share, the IPO is priced at a PE band of 22.6-22.8 times on its consolidated FY16 EPS. Valuations are comparable to that of peers Gabriel India and Rico Auto trading at an FY16 multiple of 22.9 and 29.6 times, respectively, but a tad expensive to Munjal Showa trading at an FY16 multiple of 13.6 x (based on 4th October 2016 closing price). We believe the valuations for the IPO are attractive and would recommend an 'APPLY' on the same."
According to Motilal Oswal, the company's return ratios and growth are higher than the average of all the peers, while valuations are at par. Thus the company is attractively poised.
Endurance Technologies derives around 70 per cent of its total revenues from India and balance from Europe (percentage as of FY16). In India, it manufactures a diverse range of technology-intensive automotive components for the 2-wheeler and 3-wheeler segments. It also manufactures specified components for passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs).

Donald Trump and the Emergent Dominant Narrative in US Foreign Policy
Author(s): John Thompson
Journal Title: E-International Relations
Publication Year: 2017
It is difficult to find experts that approve of President Donald Trump's emergent foreign policy. Neoconservatives and internationalists complain that, by abandoning the leading role the United States has taken in world affairs since the end of World War Two, he is contributing to the collapse of the liberal world order and the emergence of a more dangerous, Hobbesian alternative. Libertarians and economists worry that he risking a global depression with his protectionist policies. National security hawks argue that his anti-Muslim rhetoric could bolster ISIS; and regional specialists warn that he is wrecking relationships with key partners such as Europe, China, and Mexico.

Pet Owner in Coeur D'alene
Looking for a baby sitter for my girls so that I can enjoy my company holiday party being held in Downtown Spokane. Not wanting to drive home that late after "partying", but MUST make sure my girls are taken care of by someone who is gentle and patient, as this will be a first time without us at night. Both are rescue girls, 50 - 60 lbs. each, and very loving. Somewhat lacking in the "personal space" category (LOL). Abby loves with her whole body! Hoping to find someone available and willing to be with our girls a Saturday night in December (perhaps two separate one-night stands). Keeping fingers crossed...

News : Web.com Expansion to Bring Hundreds of Jobs to Pictou County
#contactcenterworld, @webdotcom
Pictou County, Nova Scotia, Canada, Aug 16, 2016 -- As many as 40 people could be starting work at Web.com's new location in New Glasgow in September.
The Internet services company announced it is opening an operations branch in the former Convergys space immediately with a target of 330 new jobs within three years.
"Thank you for choosing New Glasgow; thank you for choosing Pictou County. We look forward to great things from Web.com Canada here in our community and to being a part of the Web.com Canada presence here in Nova Scotia, enabling small businesses across Canada and the United States to succeed," said New Glasgow Mayor Barrie MacMillan during a press conference to an enthusiastic crowd of local politicians and business community members in council chambers.
The U.S.-headquartered company provides Internet services like website design and management, and marketing campaigns to small businesses.
The process started a year and a half ago, senior vice president of Web.com Canada Sandy Ross said, as the company saw the need for growth. They contacted Nova Scotia Business Inc., who identified markets that might be a good match.
This led Web.com to New Glasgow where the company met with MacMillan and town staff over several months.
"They kind of closed the rest of the deal by persuading us what a good place this would be to do business," Ross said.
Kim Dickson, who led the New Glasgow town staff team as they put together promotional materials to sell the community, said it was a community effort to bring the employer to the area. She noted the staff team, which included herself, CAO Lisa MacDonald and business development officer Frank MacFarlane, as well as Career Connections, NSCC Pictou Campus and Crombie REIT were all important parts of bringing Web.com to Pictou County.
"They're here for the long haul and they're very invested in their communities. They're very supportive of their employees, so we're very fortunate to have a world-class leader like that choose this community," she said, adding that it's a huge boost to the local economy and offers careers for not only people who are currently unemployed but also new graduates.
Starting wages for staff dealing with customers can expect between $15 to $18 an hour while management wages begin at $30 an hour, Ross said.
Many of the first positions hired will be phone based, "but these jobs will be working with customers to design and develop their marketing plans under Web.com's premier products," Ross said in information provided by the company.
Web.com will be hiring for 12 different roles in New Glasgow with many of the positions based on the knowledge employees gain in the entry role.
"…We expect to promote quite a few people out of this entry role into more advanced positions."
The company has been in Yarmouth for 15 years. They currently employ more than 400 full-time employees in the province.
"In that time, it has grown from being a call centre into a full business operation centre handling many different facets of our business. We also believe in promoting from within. Almost every supervisor, manager and director is from the area," said Ross. "We have never had a layoff and have grown overall wages and total employment almost every year. We anticipate much the same opportunity here for New Glasgow."
Nova Scotia Business Inc. has approved a payroll rebate for Web.com Canada in New Glasgow that could see the company earn up to $6.3 million.
"Payroll rebates are designed in a way that the tax revenue generated for the province by the new jobs in Nova Scotia is always more than the amount spent on the rebate," a press release from NSBI said.
They are only paid after a business has generated actual payroll, the province's privately-led business development agency said, adding that for every dollar a company spends on new jobs, it receives between five and 10 cents back.

Forslund talks Canes needs
John Forslund joined Adam and Joe to preview Carolina and The Rangers. With Ruutu gone, they need more production from the 3rd line center. The forwards have to play with more size and grit. The Khudobin extension does make Cam Ward's future with the team uncertain. They may look to move him in the off-season, possibly at the draft.

How long did the play Othello last when acted in front of an audience?
- print Print
- list Cite
2 Answers
Generally, scholars agree that Shakespeare composed Othello, one of his best known works, in 1604. The earliest documented performance of the play is from later that same year.
Shakespearean plays are usually performed at a rate of about 1,000 lines per hour. The length of Othello is 3,560 lines. At that rate, the play should take approximately three and a half hours to perform.
Performances of the 1600s and 1700s were far from the silent, organized performances of today. Audiences participated in cheering, booing and screaming. One can imagine this might have slowed down the performance some as the performers awaited the audience's silence. The performances could then have run over three and a half hours.
A google search of modern day performances or recordings of performances online show that today's performances take less than the three and a half hours it should take by the rate of 1,000 lines per hour. A quick search showed lengths anywhere from 1 hour 45 minutes to over 2 hours 30 minutes. This could be due to a change to not using all of the original Shakespearean language, speaking some of the lines in more modern language that takes less time, or cutting out entire scenes.
One link at the bottom of my answer lists several media adaptions of this play. Each one contains a length in minutes. These vary between an hour and twenty minutes to two hours and fifteen minutes. The one that probably most directly and accurately translates the action of the play as if it were performed on stage would be the longest, at 2 hours and fifteen minutes.
The second link provides some background as to why the length of the play varied in the time of Shakespeare. It was not his original work.
Most likely, the play would take between 2-3 hours if performed as is on a stage today, therefore it could be performed in one night.

I have a hard time believing there's love but I don't accept the science way of saying that we look at certain attributes and see them as a good traits for human reproduction.
Most Helpful Guy
Is there love? Possibly on a certain level that requires outside of the box thinking. Why I say that? That's rather simple, Love is not a sexual feeling. It's an emotional state composed of many different things like comfort, honesty, affection and security. With that said Love will differ by emotional substates depending to whom it's being directed to. A love for a pet will have different emotional substates then love for a parent.22|00|0

text: 116 FXUS62 KGSP 191450 AFDGSP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 1050 AM EDT Sat Aug 19 2017 .SYNOPSIS... High pressure will build across the forecast area and bring relatively drier conditions over the weekend. A warming and moistening airmass will return Monday before cool dry air works in behind a frontal passage Wed night. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 1030 AM EDT Saturday: Still have some mid-level cloudiness over the area behind the front, and a little bit of Cu over the mountains, but otherwise a very pleasant morning out there. Dewpoints are dropping behind the front and the diurnal rise in temperatures is a bit slower than forecast, so have made several adjustments to hourly temperatures. Tweaked afternoon highs a bit but result isn`t much different than what we had before. Pop forecast (well, lack thereof) looks good. Should be a really nice Saturday across the area. Otherwise, heights will fall slightly today, as a short wave trough passes north of the region. Associated weak frontal zone will continue to ooze southeast of the forecast area today, allowing lower surface dewpoints to continue filtering into the forecast area. Aided by boundary layer mixing, dewpoints in the lower/mid 60s, with perhaps some 50s here and there are expected this afternoon. Combining this with mid-level lapse rates of less than 6 C/km yields PM forecast soundings with minimal buoyancy and a decent amount of CIN. That being the case, deep convective development appears unlikely this afternoon, and pops will be advertised at less than 20% in all areas. Temps will also be a couple of degrees cooler than on Friday, which along with the lower dewpoints will make for a comparatively pleasant day after the mugginess of the past week. The "not-too-bad for mid/late August" weather persists into tonight, with the drier air expected to allow min temps to settle very close to climo, if not a degree or two less in some spots. && .SHORT TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT/... As of 200 AM EDT Saturday: Upper level heights will begin to rise and broaden rather quickly Sun as an h5 trof lifts over New Eng. Sub/trop ridging will nudge in from the east as well and maintain a 1020 mb high across the ern CONUS. Thus...with good insol thru a deep layer...convec and shra will be hard to come by. Model soundings indicate below normal pwats and a pronounced subs inver arnd h6. Think the best shot of thunder will be across the NC mtns in ridge top convg where perhaps a couple short lived storms may develop during the afternoon. Deep sfc-based mixing will tap into dry air aloft and continue the relatively low td/s making for a hot but not unbearable feeling day for mid Aug. A quiet overnight period is in store and weak llvl flow will gradually shift se/ly as the sfc high centers off the mid/Atl coast. This flow will allow an increase in sfc tds...but not enough to overcome the deep layered negative forcing to produce a sigfnt convec threat outside the higher terrain. With some mech lift in play...a few stronger thermally driven pulse storms will be possible across the NC mtns thru the afternoon. Most areas outside the mtns will see little if any storms as llvl forcing will remain south of the FA and strong ridging dominates. The models agree fairly well with keeping a stationary front moisture axis situated across the Low Country with a little movement to the NW during the day likely due to the sea breeze. The latest NAM is more aggressive with llvl moisture flux than the GFS...but as far as the impact on cloud cover during the eclipse...it shouldn/t make a noticeable difference. Basically...will expect fair weather or slightly enhance Cu to the south covering about 30-40% of the sky during the early afternoon and rather good eclipse viewing with this pattern. Things could change depending on the strength and alignment of a building Atl sfc ridge...but for now things look to remain on track similar to the previous few fcsts. Max temps Mon shud still reach the u80s or l90s non/mtns even with a 5-7 degree or so drop off during the eclipse. Sfc td/s will rebound to arnd 70 F however making for muggy conds and elevated heat index values. && .LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/... As of 245 AM EDT Saturday: A period of transition is in store over the medium range. Strong ulvl ridging will continue to hold a stagnant warm and moist airmass over the FA with little forcing to speak of outside of llvl thermal lift mainly across the mtns. Low end PoPs have been maintained with the favored locale being the SW NC mtns in modest upslope but moist flow. Heights begin to fall Wed ahead of an incoming h5 wave and an attendant sfc front. Strong energy rounding a closed low over ern Canada will push this front into and thru the area late Wed with prefrontal lift becoming a focusing zone for stg/svr storms by mid afternoon. The front looks to remain pretty much intact as it crosses the high terrain and it will benefit from continued GOM moisture flux early on. Thus...some organization is possible with this system as deep layered shear reaches 30 kts or so. The shear may not be a huge factor however as relatively stronger winds remain above h75. But nonetheless...good llvl forcing and an unstable airmass will be in play. A strong cP high will be forced south across the Midwest Thu as deep h5 ridging develops into wrn Canada. This will bring a lowering of td/s and max temps by a couple cats or so...which shud be reinforced Fri as a broad sfc high situates across the srn Glakes region. There is still a shot at some afternoon mtn top convec...mainly showers...Thu and Fri afternoon...but the latter half of the fcst period will see unseasonally pleasant feeling weather compared the recent hot and muggy conds. && .AVIATION /15Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... At KCLT and elsewhere: No change to the KCLT TAF for the 15z AMD. Otherwise, VFR along with a convection-free afternoon is expected through at least this evening. Another round of fog/low stratus is possible in the mtn valleys tonight/early, although chance are considerably lower in light of the drier air. Therefore, kept restrictions out of KAVL as well as all others during the out period. Winds will generally favor light NW through NE through the morning hours, but should become more variable in direction this afternoon. Outlook: The inactive pattern is expected to continue into early next week, although patchy morning fog/stratus will remain possible, mainly in the mountain valleys. A more typical late summer pattern returns by mid-week, with isolated/scattered afternoon/evening storms expected, along with better chances for patchy fog/low stratus, especially in the mtn valleys.

Comments about MD Sports 48" 12 in 1 Multi Game Table:
Although I am glad that I purchased the MD Sports Multi Game Table, there were a few things that went wrong initially. Putting the unit together was pretty simple until you get to installing the legs. The instructions aren't as clear as I would have liked and if you do it wrong, the holes in the table will not align correctly so you'll have to turn the legs so that the white part points inward. If you do that correctly, the holes will line up well. The other issue I had was the size of the pockets when you are trying to get the pool balls out. It's a bit small - even for a teenager's hand. If you use a two finger swipe you shouldn't have any other trouble out of it. It's a relatively sturdy table and it offers a lot of convenience and value for the price paid. It also really comes in handy for keeping kids entertained without always having to take them somewhere. My children especially enjoy it most when they have sleepovers.
Comments about MD Sports 48" 12 in 1 Multi Game Table:
This Christmas, we transformed our children's game room by adding one piece of furniture: the MD Sports 48" 12 in 1 Multi Game Table. My younger son is able to play air hockey with his friends for hours while my older daughter and her friends have started teaching themselves how to shoot pool. Help me, I think I am in trouble over here. Being only 48 inches long, the MD Sports multi-game table is able to fit into most spaces, whether that game room be in the attic, basement, or the garage. In our case, the former nursery, also known as the smallest room in the house, is now the home to our MD sports table. There is no need to go out and buy an entire arcade collection of games anymore. The different layers of the table tops are easy to remove and place aside. They have been leaned against countless walls and not scratched them. In addition, they have not damaged the table top, cracked it, or chipped the edges.
Comments about MD Sports 48" 12 in 1 Multi Game Table:
This 12 in 1 table brings back many memories of the nostalgic table games I played growing up! This was probably our kid's favorite gift for Christmas this year! It is loads of fun and I must admit, my husband and I get in on the action with the kids sometimes, too! The Air Hockey is our favorite and probably the main game we play aside from classic pool. All of the games are great though and the table.offers a whole lot of fun for the family for the price. The table is a good size and it is pretty easy to alternate between the different board tops when playing games. We don't use all of the games but it's still an awesome table. I'd recommend it to anyone who loves classic games and doesn't have enough space for an old fashioned pool table. My husband set our up for the kids in about half an hour. He set up in the basement rec room for the kids and it looks great and does not take up a lot of room either.
