2017 Budget Release
DATE: May 4, 2017
RE: 2017 Budget Release
The 2017 budget was a challenging budget requiring difficult decisions to be made to balance the budget while ensuring key programs such as infrastructure maintenance and repair and the transfer to infrastructure replacement are not compromised.
2017 was an assessment revaluation year, with a base year of January 1, 2015. The property assessment has increased substantially from 2016 values particularly in the lower assessed residential properties. The City combated this valuation increase with a roll back of the Mill Rate from 11.04 to 9.30 and tried to address fluctuation of assessments within property sectors through adjusted Mill Rate Factors. The preliminary budget deficit was 3.38% of the tax base with additional requests of .80% for a total of 4.18%.
The unexpected provincial government discontinuation of the Crown Corporations Grant in Lieu payments caused an additional shortfall to the 2017 budget of $254,767 or 4.61% of the tax base. Council explored options to minimize the impact on property tax without reducing maintenance of City infrastructure and without drawdown of reserves to balance the budget. Council approved reductions of one-time savings, program reductions where the province has discontinued funding, and a hiring freeze on seasonal vacancies. Council will continue to review programs and service levels for 2018 to deal with the loss in revenue from the provincial government.
To meet additional growth and inflationary pressures, Council has approved a Mill Rate increase of .56 to 9.86. This option will combat the proportionately higher increases to the lower assessed residential properties due to revaluation.
For a residential property with a taxable assessment of 200,000, this will mean an increase of $86.24 or 4.10% and for commercial property with a taxable assessment of 250,000, this will mean an increase of $263.19 or 5.20%. When taking into account the wide spectrum of taxable properties that exist in the City of Melfort, this will translate into an average tax increase of 4.07%.
For details on the City of Melfort 2017 budget, please contact Sandy Peterson at City Hall.

When I grew up in the 50's and 60's the majority of mothers stayed home with their children and didn't baulk at being there. We grew up with Mother always being home when we got home from school, offering us milk and cookies, supervising play and homework, cooking dinner and folding up the laundry. If she wasn't home when we got home it felt as if the world had turned on its axis! Mum was our world and we pitied the few kids at school whose mums worked outside the home! Mum being there was our anchor of security and it is one of the memories of childhood I have where I felt happy and secure.
Gradually I noticed that more and more of my friend's mums were working outside the home and I remember one friend in particular who would go home from school, set the dinner table, feed the dogs, and play with me until her mother came home, which was my sign to make tracks home because my dinner would just about be ready. I would skip home glad to know Mum was there bustling around the kitchen or putting her day's laundry over the airer in front of the fire. It was a routine that was as predictable as the setting of the sun.
How sad I felt for my friend coming home to an empty house. She may have her gold bracelets and an Osmond's fountain pen that we couldn't afford- but young as I was, I knew which side my bread was buttered on- and as far as I was concerned, I would rather have my Mum home than the pink and white bedroom suite and carpeted bedroom my friend had all to herself. I would gladly share mine with my sister and have Mum where she was. I still feel sad for her today- to my mind she had everything except the most important- a stay at home mother.
Today's world has changed so much. Often mothers have to work to provide for their children- and they do a wonderful of job of balancing motherhood and career. But an awful lot of women who could stay home with their children have been hood-winked into believing that they don't contribute to society by staying home with their children! They do not see the value in teaching and training of their children, and they are blind to the infinite blessing of nurturing to the spirit of their babies by just being there- at home!
Never before has motherhood taken such a pounding by feminists, employers, TV commercials urging us to consume more and more whilst leaving the most precious of things- our children, under the care of daycare centres and people who give good care but no real love to their children. How I long for those mothers to catch a glimpse of their children's spirits as they are left day after day in the care of people who only see nurturing these children as a job, not a privilege. They are being deprived of the security of knowing that Mom is with them all day, in their own home. They don't care that the house may not be the biggest, they are just as warm in K-mart clothes as designer labels, but they do care that they are deprived of their Mum's time- they just can't express it yet!
How do you know they care that their Mum isn't there you say?- I know because I have seen children woken up at early hours from warm beds or cots to be bundled hurriedly into cars to be taken to daycare! I have seen their looks of bewilderment and seen how long it takes for them to settle- granted initially at first- fortunately for them, children are amazingly resilient. And I have seen the look of delight when they see Mum come to pick them up, and I have seen too the little head nuzzling into Mummy's neck soaking up the scent of Mum and her body warmth! Heaven in a child's world!
I have seen little ones clinging to carers who are forbidden to attach to one child for too long in case they bond- thus making it difficult to cope with said child if that carer isn't available on any given day! I have seen misery inside those gaily painted daycare centres where all care is taken- but no bonding is allowed. What a stage setting for bonding problems in the adult kids!
If a mother could just see inside her child's heart for a moment she would reconsider her position as a working mother. She would stay at home with her children and cut her cloth accordingly. Her education would not be wasted for there is a great challenge in balancing finances on one wage, being a wise mother, cook, nutritionist, nurse, play supervisor, educator and above all else, companion and guide to little ones eager to emulate her. She would find true happiness in herself as she is less pressured for time, and she would have the enjoyment of knowing that she has made the most of the few precious years we have with our children.
Our young children want their Mummies, and our older children are looking for something that is lacking- something in their spirit that is empty- the joy of being wanted- and nurtured and loved. Before the car, the house, the clothes, the toys. Before the holidays, the big Christmas presents, the expensive lap-tops.
They are hungry for love and bonding. Don't let that be with strangers who offer them acceptance and belonging as they ply them with drugs! You be the one! You are the one they long for! Take back the house keys and stop them being latch-key kids before it's too late. Just be there, Mum. Make a decision in faith that God will provide for your needs- this is His Will for all mothers- it is part of His great plan! If you ever needed to be needed, it's now! Don't think your boss can't get by without you- he can, but your kids can't. Not if they are going to be godly, loving, confident adults and parents, they can't. But it starts with you. Will you be a part of God's plan in motherhood? Will you trust Him to meet your needs? But most importantly, will you just be there for them?

Art Project: painting
thin cardboard sheets
The artist who painted a blue horse / Carle, Eric
Last summer, during the Wild Rumpus events, it became clear to me that kids, in general, LOVE to paint. And that parents, in general (myself included), are reluctant to dig out the paints at home. As I'm wrapping up this Toddler Art Class series that I've done for years, I'm circling back to the basics. Yes, I can do fancy variations and paint on foil or do edible paint or paint with popsicles or branches or over tape resist, but the truth is.... kids just want to paint. Especially toddlers. So it's back to the basics for me and I'll carry that through next spring when Toddler Art Class will be replaced by AnjiPlayDate which incorporates art but also so much more. I can't wait to see what this new program will produce and I'm excited to take you, dear reader, along on this journey with me.

You should have a MySQL service in your services management console. Check if it is in automatic startup mode. Then go to your /mysql/bin directory and execute the command :
mysql -u root
That should connect to MySQL as root. You need to change the root password and add a couple of users so you don`t work using root.

On a recent trip to LA found a great tea store a block or two off of Rodeo Drive. It had every type of tea imaginable, in loose leaf form, in giant bins that you could buy by weight. They had certain teas already bagged. A macha section with appropiate accessories. Also, they had a bunch of accessories in general.
The attendant was from NYC so I asked if he knew of a similar store here and he couldn't think of any beyond some that specialized in green tea, macha or were more like cafes.
I need help, do you guys know of any stores in Manhattan like that please? Thanks!

New Zealand Football is excited to build on the growth of the women's game in this country with the launch of the FIFA Live Your Goals week.
The nationwide festival has moved to the beginning of the year to coincide with the registration window for winter football and encourage girls and women to 'Get In' to football.
In 2016, New Zealand reached more than 9000 females through the FIFA Live Your Goals week and ran over 100 festivals nationwide.
Holly Nixon, the New Zealand Football Women's Development Manager, said it is an important week on the women's football calendar.
"The FIFA Live Your Goals Week is a great opportunity to create awareness for girls and women's football, and to ensure more females are playing and loving football," she said.
Since the inception of the award-winning Whole of Football Plan, women's affiliated player numbers have grown 30 percent, 52 percent of girls participate in football and women were a key growth area in futsal in 2016.
The FIFA Live Your Goals week is combining with other New Zealand Football initiatives – which include the Fit4Football and McDonald's Junior Football roadshows – which are all part of the governing body's campaign to encourage more New Zealanders to 'Get In' to Football. The opening events are on this weekend in Nelson and Christchurch.
"Campaigns like the FIFA Live Your Goals week are so important for continuing the momentum in the women's game," said Nixon. "We are continuously aiming to improve pathways and reduce barriers for girls and women to get involved in both football and futsal. This week is a great tool for girls and women to find information about how to get involved in winter football, as well as what clubs they can join."
The FIFA Live Your Goals week is encouraging more players, referees, coaches and administrators to drive the women's game. It is at the same time as the Futsal Women's National Championship from 24-26 February in Wellington and also coincides with the Football Ferns upcoming fixtures at the Cyprus Cup.
Tony Readings' team, who last July defeated Colombia for their second-ever win at an Olympic Games, have played a huge role in inspiring the next generation of women to play football as they reached their highest-ever world ranking of No 16.
Paige Satchell, who was called up for her first Football Ferns tour as part of the regular squad, encouraged young women to sign up for the FIFA Live Your Goals week. She described football as an awesome experience for youngsters growing up in New Zealand and there were plenty of opportunities on the world stage – like scholarships to international universities, professional leagues, representing New Zealand at FIFA World Cups and Olympic Games.
"The opportunities that football has for women in New Zealand are amazing," she said. "I played football when I was five years old and I have never stopped playing it. It is an awesome game and it is great to get all of the young females involved in it and they can go really far in it potentially.
"For me personally I grew up in Rotorua and it was hard for me to get recognised. But programmes like this FIFA Live Your Goals week give young footballers the chance to get recognised by players and coaches and gets them more involved in the programmes in football."
The key objectives of the FIFA Live Your Goals campaign are to increase participation of women and girls in football, create opportunities for women's football to thrive and ensure that football continues to be the No 1 female team sport around the world.
FIFA Live Your Goals Festival Launch
When: 18 – 26 February
Where: Nationwide, check out Federation websites to find out what is happening in your region
Aim: Create awareness for girls and women's football, and to ensure more females are playing and loving football

How to remove bypass doors?
A handy person from Burnaby, British Columbia says:
October 4, 2016
Hi - Am puzzled how to remove these sliding by pass doors - have tried releasing the bottom rail plastic guide and then tilting the door outwards from the bottom to supposedly release the top roller - but the top which has the 23-027 rollers won't seem to budge - the top roller on the outer door in particular seems to run in a channel that partly encases the roller at both its lower and upper edges - any guidance appreciated - Thanks!!
Dave Sr. from SWISCO responded:
October 5, 2016
I believe this type of door just lifts up and tilts out from the bottom. Do you have a bottom track or floor guide which must be removed first?
A professional from CA says:
October 5, 2016
Sometimes this type of track has a cut out where the rollers must be before they can be tilted out. Look to see if yours has one.
A quick learner from British Columbia says:
October 5, 2016
Managed to get them out,while the door was being tilted outwards at the bottom as is usually done to remove them, also had to pry the top wheels a bit outwards with a screw driver behind them .... Thanks

El Oasis de Marbella is situated in Southern Spain in Andalusia on the Costa del Sol. It is 350 metres from the beach 'La Milla de Oro' (the Golden Mile) where there are a number of bars and restaurants. It is situated between Marbella (2.5kms.) and Puerto Banus (1.5kms.) It is a 40/45 minute drive from Malaga Airport. It is located approximately 1 km. from motorway exit 176.
This area offers numerous restaurants, bars, hotels, nightclubs and sports facilities. The Puente Romano Hotel, The Marbella Club Hotel and Olivia Valere nightclub are close by. There is something to suit all tasts and budgets here. Fine dining, a casual meal with fresh fish and sangria, a takeaway meal or a lunchtime snack are all catered for.
This area enjoys an excellent climate with approximately 325 sunny days a year with an average annual temperature of 19.3 degrees Celsius.
Marbella, once a small fishing village is now reputed to be Costa del Sol`s most stylish resort with a variety of chic restaurants, bars and cafes. It still retains its historic 'old town' which is centered around the 'Plaza de Los Naranjos'. Many restaurants, specialty food shops, jewellery shops and designer boutiques are located here. Here is the ideal place to sip a coffee or glass of wine and 'watch the world go by'.
Puerto Banus is about a 15/20 minutes easy walk along the boardwalk. It has a fantastic marina along which are numerous cafes, bars and restaurants. Stroll past those luxurious yachts or enjoy a meal while watching the Porsches and Ferraris cruising by.
The area also boasts numerous golf courses. Golf La Dama de Noche, Aloha Golf, Real Club de Golf Las Brisas and Los Naranjos Golf are nearby.
Marbella/Puerto Banus are wonderful shopping centers. La Canada, with over 150 shops is situated off the N340, in Marbella. El Corte Ingles at Puerto Banus is a major department store. Here you can buy tickets for different coach tours and excursions, concerts and shows.
While a car gives some advantages it is not essential. There is a direct reliable bus service from Malaga Airport to Marbella bus station. The apartment complex is a short taxi journey away. Local buses also operate in Marbella on a route from La Canada Shopping Centre to Puerto Banus.
Enjoy a day trip to Malaga and visit the Alcazaba or the Museo Picasso. Ronda is worth a visit as it retains much of its historic charm and enjoy the dramatic views. Gibraltar is 58 kms. away but remember to bring your passport!The Alhambra in Granada is a 2/3 hour drive and tickets must be pre booked. Seville is 134 kms. - maybe pack an overnight bag!
Take the children to Tivoli World, Fuengirola Zoo, Selwo Estepona or San Pedro Circus.
El Oasis is a perfect holiday location. While it is relaxing, safe and peaceful 'on site' there is the option to pursue a variety of activities due to its close proximity to the beach, golf courses and Marbella and Puerto Banus.
Its privileged location, unique climate and natural beauty resources make this 'oasis' an ideal base for couples, families or groups of friends to taste all the area has to offer.

US-based technology company NetApp is boosting its European legal team by 40 per cent to support its aggressive growth policy in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Emea).
The company has 10 lawyers in its European legal team, but hopes to add four more to keep up with the company's growth.
Emea director of legal affairs Volker Weisshaar told The Lawyer: "Our company is growing at around 35 per cent per year and the legal team will probably grow at the same speed."
Last year the company increased its turnover by $500m (£253.58m) to $2bn (£1.01bn).
The legal team is spread across European headquarters in Amsterdam and offices in London, Munich and Paris.
Weisshaar is planning to recruit lawyers in Italy, Israel and Spain for the first time, as well as in Amsterdam.
"These are places where the legal work is increasing," said Weisshaar, adding: "You have to be close to the customer."
Weisshaar spends around e1m (£660,000) a year on specialist legal advice, but this figure could fall with the expansion of the team. NetApp aims to hire lawyers with experience in commercial work as well as competition specialists.
"To some extent we'll use law firms less, but we'll still need outside advice from time to time," said Weisshaar.

DBRAU which used to be called Agra University, has released the new revised schedule for the exams to be conducted for the academic year 2015-16. The complete date sheet for DBRAU B.Sc B.A B.com MA M.Sc M.com B.B.A B.C.A exams 2016 is finally disclosed by the administration. This new schedule for the semester and annual exams is issued by the official authorities in last week of March 2016.
As per the revised scheme of the examination, papers will be starting from March 28, 2016. Previously exams were said to be starting from the Mach 1 but now there was a little delay of 10 days. Now the engine of written tests will be started from the 28th March 2016. The complete schedule is available to be downloaded now.
Why Agra University Date Sheet 2016 was delayed?
The University students and local bodies must be already aware of the reason behind the delay but if any one doesn't know then here is the news. Due to the death of Satendar Kumar, Senior Assistant, Agra University on Feb 12, 2016, students went on the strike for the capturing of criminal included in the murder. The strike was ended on Feb 22 when the accused were caught by the police.
The date sheet for Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar University (Agra University) exams has been postponed to one more week. New Agra University Date Sheet 2016 shall be uploaded soon. On the other side, admit card for private candidates has been uploaded here. This time, employees became the cause of schedule postponement. Due to laggy admission tickets and unpaid application fee, the employees became angry and protested in the campus.
Usually, a student uses 8 sheets during the university exams. It wasn't possible for the university to arrange approximately 50 lakh answer sheets in such a short period. Thus, the exams were postponed to the new schedule. Now almost 6.8 Lakh students will be able to appear for the exams finally.
Updated on March 29, 2016: Dr. Bhim Rao Ambedkar University (Agra University) Date Sheet is released in PDF file format. As per the official confirmation and the newspaper cutting, the exams for DBRAU will be started from March 28, 2016.

text: We have seen some sarcastic comments on loopholes of our society and Kannada film industry in Guruprasads earlier films. In fact, he made fun on some of the well-known real life personalities. Now, the director has taken his potshots at director Prem.In a promotional material of his next movie Directors Special, Guruprasad has mentioned the caption of his upcoming movie as Pure Entertainment...No Gimmicks....! Prem Melaane (Means, I swear on Prem). It is not for the first time the filmmaker has made fun of the Jogi director. In one of the dialogues in his earlier movie Eddelu Manjunatha, Guru Prasad had indirectly referred to the delayed completion of Prems Preethi Yeki Bhumimelede and its fate after the release. Now, the industry observers are expecting a fitting reply from Prem.However, Guruprasad is trying his best to finish his upcoming movie Directors Special by this month end. #13;


text: Hi all, I'm new to this and it seems there so many decisions to make and consider. I've recently seen and been looking at motor homes/ campervan's and have a quick question......is it a big deal if a motorhome is left hand drive and in Km rather than miles, does it impact on the market value or future sales or even running / fixing costs? Do some motorhome suppliers make them left handed, or is it likely it's an import. The motor home I've seen is a 2007 Chaussan challenger on a Ford transit chassis Any advice welcome cheers guys Kev

Love her sheer white tank, printed wide leg pants and the almost sold out Proenza Schouler Ps1 in neon coral. Get it >here. The light weight fabrics feel so appropriate right now when New York gets teased with random hot afternoons.
As for the guy, the combination of grey and mint is spot on for Spring.

Brita and Omar Jermain.
Brita is wearing a military style jacket designed by Omar. Rag & Bone jeans and Loeffler Randall boots.
Omar is wearing a DKNY jacket. His own design trousers. The bag is his design as well.
Brita told me that she has some amazing coats all designed by Omar. I asked for his website to which he replied: "I don't have one." "What?!!!" I said in shock. Unfortunately he isn't selling his creations anymore but Omar if you are reading this, do re-consider?

Series: The Naturals
Antoine and Paulina.
"I don't know how to pose" said Paulina when I asked for some quick pics of the two of them. They came out perfectly when they laughed about what to even do.
Her coat is vintage. The boots are All Saints.
Get classic wingtips like Antoine's here.
Style Sync
I loved the individual style of each of these guys so much that I shot them separately, each about 30 minutes apart. Both have amazing leather jackets and look at her galaxy high tops. The colourful baseball hats just adds to both their looks.
I had no idea that they knew each other until I noticed them sitting together shortly after. Based on their similar style aesthetic I should have guessed.

"Horrible experience"
About: University Hospital Lewisham University Hospital Lewisham London SE13 6LH
Posted via NHS Choices
I was the patient at that night,as my cousin said we went to A&E around 6am,as soon as we checked in I was waiting for someone to see me,eventually around 20 mins later I was seen by a nurse which gave me some painkillers,however this did not help at all.After another 2 hours I was seen by doctor (by that time I had vomited twice and had blood in my urine already) who gave me paracetamol and eventually I was sent to xray scan.The first scan could not identify my problem,then I was injected with contrast and had another xray scan. As soon as this was done my pain has disappeared and an hour later the doctor sent me home. He did not give me much explanation of what's going on and I had to chase him to see what the results are. Not to mention that after injecting contrast I was supposed to be scanned few more times to see exactly what's going on, but the doctor decided that I had a small stone which I had passed in the meantime (basically they got rid of me as soon as they could without any further examination). And as I thought, next day I had again pain and this time decided to go to Kings College Hospital at Denmark Hill. The service there was incredible, I was seen almost immediately by a nurse who took over my case, checked my blood pressure, sugar level and temperature three times during my visit! I was given painkillers and paracetamol straight away and my pain has started to disappear. I had CT scan and I was arranged with ultrasound scan and meeting with urologist for next week. Also I was prescribed with proper medications and painkillers, something in Lewisham hospital thought its not necessary. If I have to compare the two hospitals I would give Lewisham hospital 1 out of 10 and 9 out of 10 for King's College hospital. I cannot believe that a person can go to hospital in 21 century in London with huge pain and waits more than 2 hours to be seen by a doctor!!! Not to mention that while I was waiting I was the only one with excruciating pain that made me almost scream, however all nurses that were passing by ignored me without even asking or doing anything! This is just unacceptable, I begin to wonder if that was A&E or just another queue where you wait without being prioritized no matter what your pain is. I mean, what am I supposed to do to be seen by a doctor immediately? To get shot wound or something? Lewisham hospital? Never again!
Response from University Hospital Lewisham 2 years ago
We are sorry that you did not feel that the treatment you received at Lewisham A&E was of a high standard, it is difficult to comment without reviewing your case notes individually, we would be more than happy to do this. If you feel that this would be helpful please do not hesitate to contact the PALS department (firstname.lastname@example.com) who can arrange for the appropriate investigation.

Legends of the Viet
Vietnam has many legends which help define its people, the Kinh people, as a nation. Here are a few.
From utopian dream to tourist attraction. Such is the fate of this housing complex on the outskirts of Hanoi. Emily Arntsen heads to Hanoi's very own ghost town.
Mango Home Riverside
I have my father to thank (or chastise) for Paul Simon's opening line to his song Graceland when it enters my head as I cross Rach Mieu Bridge to Ben Tre Province.
Quan Lan Island
Past Halong Bay is an island that has all the beauty of the bay, but without the tourists.
Swim Vietnam
Saving lives, one stroke at a time
Riding the Waves
The 7th Annual Sunrise Surf & SUP Contest is about to take place in Mui Ne. But the competition is more than just a competition — it has acted as a springboard for Vietnamese would-be surfers to get involved in water sports.
Alley 51, Ho Thi Ky
Life in the maze-like alleys around Ho Thi Ky Street in Saigon serves up some culinary delights.
Employees with Disabilities
With little official help for people living with disabilities, it falls to businesses and social enterprises to provide employment opportunities.
Street Shrines
Thousands of urban interventions enliven our city streets. These include hundreds of street altars scattered throughout the city. Some are well-constructed structures like the one in the hem at 63 Pasteur Street, or the one at the bend in Huynh Thuc Khang just before it intersects Nam Ky Khoi Nghia.
Living with Depression
Life without difficulties is not life. But for the clinically depressed, dealing with life's problems can be like climbing a mountain with no summit or travelling a road with no end. One Vietnam-based foreigner tells his story.

The menu indicates that to best create your Omakase meal, the chef needs to know how hungry you are, what you like/don't like, etc. But when I placed my order, no questions were asked. Luckily, I'm pretty open to all sorts of sushi. I did, however, ask how much food would be involved to make sure it matched my appetite. I was informed that the Omakase would include a couple of dishes, then 4-5 sushi pieces. Perfect.
Here's what came to the table:
- Thinly sliced scallop bathed in lemon juice and garnished with a dot of chile sauce.
- Yellowtail with black pepper and garlic chips.
- The sushi platter included toro (fatty tuna belly), white tuna (albacore), yellowtail and sea bream. On the side were a couple of pieces of fish tempura (possibly snapper?) and a few other veggies (cucumber, portobello mushroom).
(Note: The Omakase price will vary, depending on what the chef makes. On the night I went, my meal was $33. If you have a specific budget in mind, it's probably a good idea to communicate that with the server.)

Fighting to be yourself in a world of fang and fur
Getting used to this narrator takes a bit of time, but what I do love about her is her distinctive voices and comedic timing. I laughed out loud multiple times at the delivery of the main character's dog! This book especially deals with a bit of higher emotions for the main character than other books in the series and I feel the narrator did a great job of expressing these emotions which makes a big impact on the overall feel of this book. In the series as a whole I feel like the narrator really nailed this one better than those before and I'm looking forward to the books to come.
That's a hard one! I liked how the series got back on track for me from the last book. I was very happy for that. I was REALLY happy for the ending!! I won't give it away but I feel like there was hope and a sense of moving forward for the main character that she needed to allow the series to grow - LOVE! I like that the main character is a fighter. She's not perfect by any means, but she's allowed to have a few moments to be sad and feel what every person does - alone. Then she comes back to fight. She fights for who she is and what she believes in... and how can you not root for that kind of character! I like that the book was multi-leveled with the emotional situation for the main character and the mystery case going on. I felt like this book was a well rounded book and we got to see more into the past of some of the supporting cast that was wonderful. I don't think I can keep it to just one thing I liked best about the story.
I highly recommend reading or listening to this (or any) series in order.
I'm really enjoying this series! I feel like each book moves quickly while still taking the time to get to know the characters and the growing complexities of the relationships as well as the world created for this series. I'm really looking forward to more books in the series to come!!!

Health Relevant Behavior and its Impact on the Physician-Patient Relationship
The importance of the physician-patient relationship for the health care market is beyond controversy. Recent work emphasizes a two-sided asymmetric information relationship between physician and patient. In contrast to most work looking only at the physician's perspective, our paper concentrates on the patient's view. Estimation results support the hypotheses that physician consultation and health relevant behavior are not stochastically independent. In the recursive bivariate probit model, patient's health relevant behavior has a significant influence on the probability of a physician visit. This means that health care demand and not only the contact decision is determined by both, patient and physician.

There had been continuous conflict among users due to lack of discussion, scarcity of information and public participation prior to the implementation of the proposed issues. To resolve the conflicting interests among stakeholders in a balanced harmony in terms of flood control, water use, and environmental conservation, consensus building and appropriate distribution of roles are necessary. Lowlands are strongly influenced by high water level changes. This particularity adds a distinctive complication to the current water conflict (i.e., lack of information, water shortage, and environmental stress) and conflicting interest between stake- holders.
Actions: promote the importance of innovative flood control measures (e.g. hazard map) through a participatory process and share experience with flood-affected people... Start multi-stakeholders dialogue on sustainable tourism in the United Nations year of eco-tourism. Seven NGOs from all around the world presented their eco-tourism initiative and contacts to travel agencies. Enhance and alleviate the implementation of hydrosolidarity concept as a background towards compatibility within an integrated land/water/ecosystem management.
In Japan and many other countries, various successful measures have been executed to realize sustainable sediment management measures of reservoirs. The concept of integrated sediment management in the total sediment flow system has been well understood and executed in Japan.
Drafting of the Guideline of River Restoration is to serve as a basic principal in river restoration activities. The guideline initiative was used as a platform for discussion with other sessions sharing compatible vision and eco-perspectives. From the output reports of studied situations on water resources development and management of some Asian monsoon countries (i.e. Japan and Korea), it becomes clear that a comprehensive and effective water resources development and long term organization and management are needed for sound development of industry and agriculture and elevation of living standards in all monsoon countries...
Promoting flexible dialogue among conflicting stakeholders through communication, daily conversion, upstream and downstream corporation. Efforts to keep close relationship between human and rivers so that everyone recognizes the necessity of harmonized management between flood control, water use, and environmental conservation.
Create a unified partnership between all concerned parties (i.e., citizen groups, farmers, academics, and government authorities, fishermen, and so on) and adopt the Water Declaration in Saga before the WWF3 to exchange opinions and enforce corporation.
Recommendations: the enormous diversity of water problems and challenges faced by water professionals, administrators and stakeholders, within the world river basins, have stressed the authoritative aspect of promoting global information networks to serve as archive of best practices, learning material for capacity building and platform for discussion, guidance and sharing of experience in every aspect of water resources, ecosystem and environmental development. Multi-stakeholder partnerships and international NGOs cooperation for the protection of water environment (i.e., lakes and wetlands) at regional, country and local levels should be promoted

wow nice
Wow so very beautiful
This is really lovely.. Excuse my ignorance, but what is uf5?
Ah ok. I figured it was a fractal program. I was just curious which one. I might have a play with it. Is it complicated to use?
It's not that complicated to get nice spirals and familiar fractals patterns! Masking shapes and textures can be a bit tricky to begin with, but there are lots of tutorials, and the ones in the program are very useful. The layout is similar to photoshop, with layers etc, so it shouldn't be too confusing if you've used that.
I think I'll give it a try. I've never really played with computer generated image programs but I've always had a secret fascination. Let's see what I come up with
It is free to download and use, but beware that there will be watermarks if you render the image. I think it's still worth trying though. It's a lot of fun, and you could always do screenshots.
Just beautiful !!!
ohhh I dig the colours alot If possible, I think it's one of your best
Very pretty!!
that's beautiful!
very nice work & lovely color's Vicky
"Think for yourself and question authority"
Beautiful depth and color!
I always love your spirals!
Oh wow, what a dazzling display of color and lines. I can't get enough of an eyeful from this fractal. Well done and keep up the good work.
the colors are soooooooooo amazing, lovely design

In the past days Unity has been very laggy for me, on different hardware and connections. I get a lot of disconnects, answers that aren't posted etc. because of this. Any ideas of why this is happening?
This is common for me. The site is usually fine, but it's down for an hour or two more than the rest of the internet. I think it's just hosted on an underpowered, overworked server.
But the last few days haven't been any worse than normal.
I'm actually experiencing the same. Earlier today it was nearly unusable. Currently much better.

It is super laggy right now, even though we cleared some disk space. We installed a plugin yesterday to dig further into this, so hopefully we will know what the cause is and find a fix.

The occasion
A meeting of the Chesapeake branch of the Society for the Preservation of Beer From the Wood (SPBW).
The setting
The upstairs bar at the Metropolitan, a combination of coffeehouse, restaurant, music spot, wine bar, and good beer bar in the Federal Hill neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland.
The situation
The bartender asked the customer if she should pull a pint of cask-conditioned stout for him.
"Handpulling from a beer engine isn't traditional," the customer replied, "and I'm a traditionalist. The cask should be sitting on the bar."
Just at that moment, Bruce Dorsey, owner of the restaurant, happened to be walking past."Yes, it is traditional," he growled.
Traditional since 1797, he explained. That's when Joseph Bramah —the inventor of the hydraulic press— created, what he called, a beer engine. Despite its name, a (true) beer engine is not motorized. It's a hand operated piston pump which pulls beer from a cellar up to a bar.
Most 'real ale' pubs in the U.K. serve cask via beer engines. Pubs in the U.S. —those, that is, that serve cask-conditioned ale (a tiny number, but increasing each year)— use beer engines and pour from casks simply placed on bartops.
"Oh ... but I prefer my cask ale pulled through a beer engine," the customer verbally backpedaled.
I was reminded of the scene in Woody Allen's film Annie Hall in which an officious man is pontificating about Marshall McLuhan and the global village. The man behind him announces that he is Marshal McLuhan, and that the other man has no idea what he's talking about. Woody Allen breaks character, faces the camera, and asks whether we wouldn't prefer real life to be like this.
The bartender pulled the customer his pint of Wolaver's Organic Oatmeal Stout. We all smiled.

DAILY TICKER: Thursday August 15
The CWB Daily Ticker is a dashboard of the most up-to-date robbery statistics possible for our neighborhood over the past year, 5 years, and 10 years.
As we've often said, our problem did not spring up overnight. It has built and built over several years. Simply comparing this year to last year misses the huge increase that we saw in 2011 and 2012. The dashboard shows the bigger picture.
Our source is the city itself, with robbery data taken from the City of Chicago Data Portal. The city quarantines crime data for 7 days, so "year to date" information is actually for the year ending one week before the Tracker date.
The complete list of 2012 robberies is here.
The complete list of 2008 robberies is here.
The complete list of 2003 robberies is here.
Beat ranking information is from the Chicago Police Department web site.
Our standard statement regarding historical data applies:
The city quarantines crime data for 7 days.
The CPD realigned our area's police beats in March 2012. The lines that divide Chicago police beats literally run down the middle of their shared streets and it is not possible to know with certainty which side of a street crimes were reported on before March 4, 2012. In order to maintain consistency across all years, we have included all robberies that were reported on both sides of the border streets (Irving Park Road, Southport Avenue, and Belmont Avenue) in our calculations. As a result, our post-March 4, 2012, stats may vary slightly from official records.
Also, note that very recent crime data may fluctuate slightly as crimes are investigated and recategorized. These fluctuations settle out fairly quickly.

Great news, Lake View! They just stripped another Tact Team to make a Clark St Detail. Just make sure you link up with uptown update to see how that goes in the next few months for them!ReplyDeleteReplies

Officer, this is not the place to whine that you can't wear your blue jeans and have to suit up and maintain a visible presence, respond to calls, etc. you would have been on mid nights anyway with your time on the job. Take some pride in your job and prevent robberies from occurring. Oh and make sure that you check off at 5 and put a full 9 hours in so that your fellow 1st watch officers can finally get some relief. This strip as you cal it should have happened months ago at the first hint of an increase. There are guns and dope on Clark St. that can keep you just as busy. Or is that not why you wanted to be on tac in the first place, being the hard charger that you are?Delete

Enter a top-secret research and power installation, determine who attacked it, get the power back on-line, and track the attackers back to their so...
WAD Type

================================================================ Title : BURLBASE.wad Author : Kit Gautier Email Address : <email removed> Home Page : http://www.thegrid.net/kit1 Description : Enter a top-secret research and power installation, determine who attacked it, get the power back on-line, and track the attackers back to their source. This is part 1 of a 9 level series. Read the 'background' section below for more information. Note: the other levels in this series are not as big as this one. ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : E1M1 Single Player : Yes Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : No Difficulty Settings : Yes New Sounds : No New Graphics : No Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Build Time : Let's see...I started on the original of this in late July 1994...ACK!! Editor(s) used : DEU 5.21, 5.21GCC, BSP11x, BSP12x, Reject11 Known Bugs/Notes : Fortunately, there are not any HOM effects or any other bugs of that sort in this level. Unfortunately, due to the level's size and detail, it runs slowly in a few places. Also, to enable the player to be able to save his/her game, I had to drastically cut down on the number of monsters, health bonuses, etc. Also, if the switches in the power room are hit in a certain order, the effect doesn't look too good. Lastly, you must be stationary (not moving) to save the game. Special Thanks : Creators of DooM, DEU, BSP All the great WAD designers (tree3, return01, rrward01, sungod, etc.) My play-testers (Mark, Eric, Paul, Mark) Mountain Dew and Camel Lights Black Flag, 7 Seconds, D.I., Drunk In Public, etc. for great wad-designing music * Copyright / Permissions * Authors may use this level as a base to build additional levels, but all credit for the general level design, tricks, traps, etc. should be given to me, Kit Gautier. You may distribute this wad via any electronic media (internet, disk, etc) so long as the following files are included and all files are unmodified: burlbase.wad burlbase.txt and I only give permission to allow it to be published or sold in any way, shape, or form, if I receive a free copy of the CD-ROM, Disk, or other media in question. * Where to get this WAD * FTP sites: ftp.cdrom.com:/pub/games/doom/wads/... ================= RANDOM NOTES ================================= First of all, there are a _lot_ of switches in this level. Almost all switches affect something in the near vicinity, so you usually don't have to search over the whole level to figure out what a switch did. For the few switches that affect things in different areas than the switch, I have given big clues as to what/where they affect. As I stated earlier, try to press the switches in the power room in the correct order; that is, left to right. All weapons are in here, but they are all (well, except for the shotgun) well-hidden. In fact, a lot of things are hidden behind secret doors. Look closely at _everything_. I tried to make a very detailed level, and (to an extent) I think I accomplished that task. Tell me what you think!! ===================== BACKGROUND ================================ These are your directives: 1) Enter the research installation 2) Get the lava lifts back on-line (i.e., turn the power back on) 3) Enter the security vault to get the security (blue) keycard 4) Turn off the security alert to raise the blast doors 5) Enter the lava examination room to get the lava technicians' (red) keycard 6) Go to the sanitation area to get the sanitation workers' (yellow) keycard 7) Exit! and above all.... 8) Destroy/Kill/Attack all invaders encountered and track them to their source!!

Remember that the two slow moving anchors of the Grand Water Trine are still very much in place for the next few months. Neptune, the archetype of Divine Mind and Saturn, the Kharmic Teacher are still in harmonious contact with each other, setting the stage for us to be tested with regard to how responsible we are being in putting our spiritual practice above all else. Both Mercury and Mars interact with Saturn and Neptune respectively today, and neither one is a harmonious transit. While the peace-loving Libra Moon will help keep things the most harmonious they can be today, the atmosphere is decidedly dicey.
Mercury will Square Saturn today. And since Mercury is on fire these days, quite literally from his placement in Leo, this square may prove itself to be a dominate factor in how you experience your Sunday. A square is an opportunity for growth that often comes through an obstacle or confrontation of some sort.
When Mercury squares the responsibility laden Saturn, the net result is some sort of test in how you are using your words out in the world. As a Teacher, Saturn is just as happy to reward you for a job well done as he is to kick your ass to make sure you are getting his lesson. Expect to be tested today in your interactions with others.
Mars is not so happy in Cancer. The fiery nature of this aggressive archetype is a little lost in in the watery, nurturing domain of the Cancernian Divine Feminine. The agitating angle that Mars makes to Neptune today forces a choice to be made. Neptune relates to things that are potentially foggy; this choice can either clear that fog up, or completely block your clarity. This is either going to play out as a descending blind spot or a major clearing.
Both of the planetary transits I described both happen between the hours of 9:00 and 11:00am PDT. These two transits taken together set us up to make this a fairly interesting day. Come from your Heart, pause before you speak, pray before you do ANYTHING, and you will come through with flying colors. The balancing influence of the Libra Moon and her productive Sextile to the Sun will offer a lot of assistance in making the outcome of whatever you are creating today lean towards harmony. However, we start the day (5:00am PDT) with the Moon opposing Uranus, the lightning flash planet, starting the day with a major spark. That is not a day you want to skip your morning prayers and meditation!
