Review: Got this one as a present, and I admit at first I felt like the image was a bit too kiddy/cute for my taste, so I did the puzzle with my nieces (7 and 9), but it turned out to just be really fun and sweet, so then after they left I did it again that evening by myself and really enjoyed it. So I'm not sure I would recommend giving this to grown-up women like me, but it was really fun and cute to do.

Distribution of localized resources is currently performed as part of a build, preparation, and RTW (released to web) process for the various products and services. This process carries significant overhead for product, operations, and localization teams. Each product team builds localized resources as a part of the overall product build process. The resources are essentially built and distributed as an integrated part of the product. This means that every update requires the updated localized files to be built and propagated either as a full release or a QFE (quick fix engineering).
Under existing conditions, development teams need to build all international files during the development and localization product cycle in order to support the international versions of the product. The international builds need to be propagated to test beds and production, as needed. This adds weight and dependencies to the development process such that localization teams are completely dependent on the core build process for the deployment of localized resources to the test beds. This also adds overhead to the process especially given that, for the most part, the localization teams work in different time zones relative to the development and build teams. This means if there are issues, then teams can lose a significant amount of time waiting for resolution from the core team.
In a highly-competitive world of product development and distribution for online products and services, as the interdependencies between teams grow, there is a demand for fast and efficient approaches for updating and distributing the localized resources in a way that facilitates not only the individual products but the network as a whole.
The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of novel embodiments described herein. This summary is not an extensive overview, and it is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope thereof. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
The disclosed architecture is a multi-format centralized distribution framework that allows product teams to update and download resources independent of a product build process and, to store and distribute the resources from a central repository (a shared resource server system) in multiple formats. Resources include localized, non-localized, configuration settings, parameters, etc. The central repository includes a storage structure that can support all markets and all products. Resources can now be updated on the product frontend (e.g., a product web server) or delivered directly to the client when requested.
More specifically, the architecture includes a centralized resource deployment system for storing team resources in a single file format (e.g., RESX) and distributing the resource in multiple formats (e.g., XML, RESX, JS, etc.). Both server-side and client-side rendering are supported. The architecture provides a delivery mechanism for localized strings that supports client-side rendering (e.g., through JavaScript files) and server-side rendering (e.g., through providing XML and RESX files). In further support of the deployment of updated localized strings without requiring a build, the architecture supports the sub-versioning of strings. In support of scalability, different levels of caching of the strings through an edge cache and custom designed cache mechanism are provided.
Controlled delivery of resources is provided by allowing filtering of the resources (e.g., localized) to deliver a limited asset of resources, for example. Additionally, the grouping and combining of resources is facilitated to minimize the number and size of files delivered, which can be a performance advantage.
The single repository of content can serve multiple sites and products, which can be used for configuring market-specific behaviors such as providing strings and testing string values to enable or disable features.
To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles disclosed herein can be employed and is intended to include all such aspects and their equivalents. Other advantages and novel features will become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The disclosed architecture is a multi-format distribution framework using a single repository and from which sets of resources (e.g., localized, non-localized, configuration settings, parameters, etc.) are served in various formats to consuming applications. The resources are runtime updatable enabling of both direct and indirect delivery of resources from a single repository of content. Delivery of the resources can be controlled by allowing filtering of the resources to deliver a limited asset of the resources. Grouping and combining resources is provided for minimizing the number of files delivered. Thus, multiple sites and products can be served by the single repository of content. This supports the configuring of market-specific behaviors by providing strings and testing string values for the enablement or disablement of features. In a general context, market is intended to include a combination of language and region/country. In the context of resources, market includes a combination of language file(s) (e.g., strings) and the marketized file(s) (e.g., marketized resources such as name, address, etc., formatting, URLs, list ordering, feature availability, and other market-specific configuration resources).
Reference is now made to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding thereof. It may be evident, however, that the novel embodiments can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate a description thereof.
Referring initially to the drawings,
The system 300 facilitates the distribution of the same resources 104 in a number of different formats and depending on the product requirements. At least two types of resources can be distributed. Resources can be distributed as shared controls that reside on servers, and as local resources such as localized strings that can be cached on product frontend systems 308. The system also facilitates updating the stored resources 104 selectively or entirely according to market, language and/or locale.
A consumer can be a web browser or a client-side application. Product web servers 308 are also referred to herein as frontend servers or frontends. The central repository 302 includes resources based on a combination of language and locale (region). The combination of language and locale is also known as the market, for example, English/Untied States. This also includes resources that are localized based on language only. Upon a customer's request for a resource, the system 300 tries to retrieve resources that are determined by requested market. However, if these resources are not found, a fallback mechanism is in place to find resources based on the language specified or to a default market if none of the former is found.
As illustrated, the consumers 312 can receive the resources 104 in the different formats 310 either directly or indirectly. For example, one of the consumers 312 can receive a resource indirectly through one of the frontend web server 308 for a Product A, initially as resx formatted resource to the frontend server, and from the frontend server to the consumer as an HTM file format for a web browser. Alternatively, one of the consumers 312 can receive a resource directly from the repository 302 as a js formatted resource. The indirect method can be used for consumers 312 that do not include scripting support. The direct method for js files can be employed for consumers 312 that include scripting support. The direct method also includes distributing resource files in an XML format to consumers 312 for installation as client-side native code applications (e.g., Win32 and/or Win64) and in the resx format to consumers 312 for installation as client-side managed code applications (e.g., .NET frameworks).
Accordingly, it can be seen that using the centralized distribution model disclosed herein, that the localization team can access the file(s) from the central location and make updates without a product team being involved. As soon as the resources are updated in the repository the files become immediately available to the product or service consumers 312 and in the desired format of the consuming application. This entire process requires no intervention from the core development teams or operations teams.
In both the server-side and client-side rendering, the resources can be versioned in the central repository 302 using for example, a major number, a minor number, and/or a build number.
Referring now to
Accordingly (moving to
Moving to
In one implementation, the act of publishing to production is a manual process that is run on demand. In another implementation, an interface and ACLs (access control lists) can be added to the publishing tool that allows core teams to publish to production independently.
Client-side calls can be performed using a public API that facilitates using HTTP requests. A URL key can include parameters to help the repository in generating the resources. The parameters can include a string namespace, string sub-version data, market information, co-brand ID, and co-brand version. The architecture can be configured to change the location of physical strings resources based on the string namespace or based on using special modes such as a developer/product mode.
Branding information is provided by an external process, the result of which is resx files. The resx files can be distributed to the frontend server the same way as other files, but through a different provider.
The system 900 can also include a grouping component 910 for combining multiple different files (e.g., *.resx) and/or partial files into one namespace. Thus, the option is provided to collectively retrieving some of the strings and subspace the number of strings that are repeating. The script can be utilized for the string namespace.
As a general summary of some of the features, the disclosed framework integrates with a publishing tool, enables sub-versioning of the localization files, deploy resources for all controls, enables low cost, high impact resource updates to be carried out on-the-fly, provides improved efficiency for localization teams, supports marketized strings, allows deploying changes to strings without the need for build, centralized storage and managing of strings, multi-format delivery of the strings, support for server-side and client-side rendering, support for environment dependent strings, support for variable substitution to reduce the effort in localizing and maintaining shared strings, and transparent co-branding. Note that co-branding is replacing selected sources with third-party resources such as logo images, titles, and/or URLs, for example.
As used in this application, the terms "component" and "system" are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component can be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, a hard disk drive, multiple storage drives (of optical and/or magnetic storage medium), an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a server and the server can be a component. One or more components can reside within a process and/or thread of execution, and a component can be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
Referring now to
Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the inventive methods can be practiced with other computer system configurations, including single-processor or multiprocessor computer systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, and the like, each of which can be operatively coupled to one or more associated devices.
The illustrated aspects may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where certain tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
A computer typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer and includes volatile and non-volatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media can comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital video disk (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer.
With reference again to
The system bus 1108 can be any of several types of bus structure that may further interconnect to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. The system memory 1106 includes read-only memory (ROM) 1110 and random access memory (RAM) 1112. A basic input/output system (BIOS) is stored in a non-volatile memory 1110 such as ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, which BIOS contains the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 1102, such as during start-up. The RAM 1112 can also include a high-speed RAM such as static RAM for caching data.
The computer 1102 further includes an internal hard disk drive (HDD) 1114 (e.g., EIDE, SATA), which internal hard disk drive 1114 may also be configured for external use in a suitable chassis (not shown), a magnetic floppy disk drive (FDD) 1116, (e.g., to read from or write to a removable diskette 1118) and an optical disk drive 1120, (e.g., reading a CD-ROM disk 1122 or, to read from or write to other high capacity optical media such as the DVD). The hard disk drive 1114, magnetic disk drive 1116 and optical disk drive 1120 can be connected to the system bus 1108 by a hard disk drive interface 1124, a magnetic disk drive interface 1126 and an optical drive interface 1128, respectively. The interface 1124 for external drive implementations includes at least one or both of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 interface technologies.
The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of data, data structures, computer-executable instructions, and so forth. For the computer 1102, the drives and media accommodate the storage of any data in a suitable digital format. Although the description of computer-readable media above refers to a HDD, a removable magnetic diskette, and a removable optical media such as a CD or DVD, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of media which are readable by a computer, such as zip drives, magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, cartridges, and the like, may also be used in the exemplary operating environment, and further, that any such media may contain computer-executable instructions for performing novel methods of the disclosed architecture.
A number of program modules can be stored in the drives and RAM 1112, including an operating system 1130, one or more application programs 1132, other program modules 1134 and program data 1136. The one or more application programs 1132, other program modules 1134 and program data 1136 can include the resources 104, folders 304, and web browsers and client-side code 312, for example. This also can include the resource component 102, access component 106, filtering component 202, one or more of the blocks of
All or portions of the operating system, applications, modules, and/or data can also be cached in the RAM 1112. It is to be appreciated that the disclosed architecture can be implemented with various commercially available operating systems or combinations of operating systems.
A user can enter commands and information into the computer 1102 through one or more wired/wireless input devices, for example, a keyboard 1138 and a pointing device, such as a mouse 1140. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, an IR remote control, a joystick, a game pad, a stylus pen, touch screen, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 1104 through an input device interface 1142 that is coupled to the system bus 1108, but can be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, an IEEE 1394 serial port, a game port, a USB port, an IR interface, etc.
A monitor 1144 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 1108 via an interface, such as a video adapter 1146. In addition to the monitor 1144, a computer typically includes other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers, printers, etc.
The computer 1102 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections via wired and/or wireless communications to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer(s) 1148. The remote computer(s) 1148 can be a workstation, a server computer, a router, a personal computer, portable computer, microprocessor-based entertainment appliance, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to the computer 1102, although, for purposes of brevity, only a memory/storage device 1150 is illustrated. The logical connections depicted include wired/wireless connectivity to a local area network (LAN) 1152 and/or larger networks, for example, a wide area network (WAN) 1154. Such LAN and WAN networking environments are commonplace in offices and companies, and facilitate enterprise-wide computer networks, such as intranets, all of which may connect to a global communications network, for example, the Internet.
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 1102 is connected to the local network 1152 through a wired and/or wireless communication network interface or adapter 1156. The adaptor 1156 may facilitate wired or wireless communication to the LAN 1152, which may also include a wireless access point disposed thereon for communicating with the wireless adaptor 1156.
When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 1102 can include a modem 1158, or is connected to a communications server on the WAN 1154, or has other means for establishing communications over the WAN 1154, such as by way of the Internet. The modem 1158, which can be internal or external and a wired or wireless device, is connected to the system bus 1108 via the serial port interface 1142. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 1102, or portions thereof, can be stored in the remote memory/storage device 1150. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers can be used.
The computer 1102 is operable to communicate with any wireless devices or entities operatively disposed in wireless communication, for example, a printer, scanner, desktop and/or portable computer, portable data assistant, communications satellite, any piece of equipment or location associated with a wirelessly detectable tag (e.g., a kiosk, news stand, restroom), and telephone. This includes at least Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™ wireless technologies. Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices.
Referring now to
The system 1200 also includes one or more server(s) 1204. The server(s) 1204 can also be hardware and/or software (e.g., threads, processes, computing devices). The servers 1204 can house threads to perform transformations by employing the architecture, for example. One possible communication between a client 1202 and a server 1204 can be in the form of a data packet adapted to be transmitted between two or more computer processes. The data packet may include a cookie and/or associated contextual information, for example. The system 1200 includes a communication framework 1206 (e.g., a global communication network such as the Internet) that can be employed to facilitate communications between the client(s) 1202 and the server(s) 1204.
Communications can be facilitated via a wired (including optical fiber) and/or wireless technology. The client(s) 1202 are operatively connected to one or more client data store(s) 1208 that can be employed to store information local to the client(s) 1202 (e.g., cookie(s) and/or associated contextual information). Similarly, the server(s) 1204 are operatively connected to one or more server data store(s) 1210 that can be employed to store information local to the servers 1204. The clients 1202 can include the consumers 312, and the servers can include the frontend 308 and the repository system 302, for example.
What has been described above includes examples of the disclosed architecture. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components and/or methodologies, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations are possible. Accordingly, the novel architecture is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term "includes" is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as "comprising" is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
In 1643, 109 years after the first landings by Cartier, there were only about 300 people in Quebec. Migration was slow. The fur trade attracted migrants, both noble and commoner. By 1675, there were 7000 French in Quebec. By the same year the French Acadian presence in the Maritimes had reached 500. The French founded Lower Canada, thus becoming one of the two great founding nations of Canada. The family name Marquis has made many distinguished contributions in France and New France to the world of science, culture, religion, and education. Amongst the settlers in North America with this distinguished name Marquis were

After reading the recent New York Times story finding that more U.S. women are living without a husband than with one, many people likely sounded the familiar drumbeat that the traditional American family is under attack.
Stop the music. It's not buckling under an attack. It's slowly dying from neglect.
Strangely, the full Times article spanned almost 1,500 words without mentioning one word:
Mind you, the authors were very comprehensive in the way they interviewed middle-aged women embracing their singlehood after years under the marital yoke, or women who simply don't want to get married.
And there's nothing wrong with any of that.
But the minefield the Times chose not to enter is an area in which children suffer from not growing up in households with a mother and a father.
It's a fact that's painstakingly well-documented. Involved, loving fathers contribute significantly to children's cognitive development, achievement, motivation, sense of security, confidence and the likelihood of making sound life choices, according to study after study cited by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
That's not to say marriage is a magic bullet for a happy family. Not every dad is a Bill Cosby or an Ozzie Nelson. And marriage shouldn't have to be forced on a capable parent who is happily single.
However, all children deserve the best chance at success and happiness, and the best way to deliver it is through a mom and a dad.
But don't take our word for it - ask your parents.

Savvy earn medal deal
Yesterday's unexpected win for the Irish men's U-23 team was also a victory for Ireland economically, as they were presented with medals that were provided by a Galway-based sports management company called SAVVY Sports.
It, too, had defied expectations and the current economic pessimism by winning the tender to supply all the medals for the big athletics event, and Savvy Sports CEO Pierce O'Callaghan, a former international athlete himself, said: "We are particularly thrilled now that some of these medals are coming back to Ireland. Well done to the boys!"

InformationWeek, March 27, 2014
Analytics -- the mathematical savior of oh-so-many population health management (PHM) programs -- is all the rage in health IT marketing circles these days. As the electronic medical records gold rush slowly ebbs over the next few years, attention is gradually shifting to approaches we can use to fundamentally change the cost and quality of care... and what we should do with all this data. But how transformative are these PHM solutions? Many PHM offerings today look remarkably like yesterday's offerings. For executives making decisions on new solutions, the issue is further clouded by marketing messages that describe any product capable of running a report as having "analytics" with "models" for improving the quality and/or cost of care.

Looking Your Best - Men's Style Tips
If you want to lookyour best - start from the inside out - beginning with your underwear. Compression garments such as ours will streamline your look, while giving you posture support. This means that no matter how you layer your look you'll be standing taller and looking trimmer. Then whatever you wear will look better - but that doesn't mean that there aren't some commong fashion rules you should follow if you want to make sure you look as good dressed as you do undressed.
To make the most of your look, remember to, where possible, buy tailored outfits with good quality fabric to compliment your body shape. Whether you're wearing a t-shirt or a suit, poor quality fabric can lose its shape quickly and detract from your overall appearance. A tailored outfit will enhance all that hard work you've done at the gym, or if needs be, will also help disguise the work you failed to do.
Remember, not all clothes are created equal and while a garment may be in fashion and look great on that eighteen year old male model, it doesn't necessarily mean it is going to suit your body shape or even your own personal style.
So how do you choose the right clothes for you?
Stay tuned to this blog next week as we give our top ten tips for creating your own personal look.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make Chewey Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Here's a great adaptation of this wonderful recipe: Make Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies Remember that the pictures here are from the original article, so the batter won't be brown as it will be with cocoa powder!
- 1 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 Tsp salt
- 1 1/2 Cups Cocoa Powder
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup of butter (room temperature)
- 2 1/4 cups of flour (adapt this for elevation and humidity as needed, make sure the cups are level)
- 1 Tsp of Baking soda
- 1 Tsp of Vanilla
- 1 Tbs Oil
- Up to 3 cups of chocolate chips (if small, less if large)
1Preheat the oven to 350ºF/180ºC.
2Add the vanilla, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and butter.
- Use coarser sugar for thicker, chewier cookies. When sugar dissolves, it acts as a tenderizer that interferes with dough structure. This increases spreading in much the same way as baking soda does as described in the previous step because finer sugar dissolves more easily than coarser sugar. So if you want your cookies to remain thick and chewy, use coarse sugar (or use fine sugar for the opposite effect). If you decide to use powdered sugar for extra crispiness, make sure it doesn't have corn starch in it, or you'll get unexpected results.[1]
- Mix these ingredients until creamy.
3Add the flour, salt, cocoa powder, and baking soda.
4Mix until fully blended; add the milk to achieve a smoothly blended dough. After blending the mixture, add the chocolate chips.
5Apply the cooking spray to the pan so that the cookies won't stick to the baking pan. Alternately, line the pan with baking paper.
6Roll a small ball for each cookie.
7Place the cookie balls on the baking pan.
8Flatten each cookie with a fork. This will leave distinct ridges and flatten the cookie neatly.
9Put cookies in the oven for about 8-10 minutes. Don't overdo the cooking, as they'll continue to cook after removal from the oven.
10Take the cookies out of the oven and let them sit on a wire cooling rack for about 15 minutes to cool. Be careful not to burn yourself on the melted chips when transferring the cookies to the cooling rack - use a spatula. The cookies are ready to eat when the chocolate chips solidify again.
11Store in an airtight container, or eat the cookies once they've cooled.
Community Q&A
How many does this serve?wikiHow ContributorLooking at the quantities of the ingredients used, this recipe would likely yield about 20-25 cookies. If you serve 2 cookies per person, this can serve 10-12 people in total.

- Make sure to add the extra sugar specified here, or you risk the cookies not being sweet enough, with the addition of the cocoa powder.
- Keep an eye on the cookies in the oven, they took much longer in some ovens.

Amazon, the internet giant has been accused of pushing staff too far and putting them at risk of stress associated illnesses as they gear up for the Christmas period. According to an article released today Amazon staff that work in the eight distribution depots across the UK are expected to pick a parcel every 33 seconds, and walk distances up and down the warehouse that equal 11 miles of walking per shift.
This was brought to light during undercover filming for a popular BBC topical news show which airs tonight. Under cover reporter Adam Littler applied for a temporary post in one of Amazons giant 800,000 square feet Swansea based distribution depots as a picker. He was assigned a trolley and a hand held computer/scanner which relayed information telling him what item he should pick and where it is located and was counting down from the moment the order was received. An average of 33 seconds was allowed per pick with an audible alarm being sounded, if a mistake was made or he took too long locating the item then the handheld terminal would basically report this to a member of the management team who would then demand to know what is causing the delay.
Health experts think that added to the long hours this kind of pressurised job could lead to increased number of stress related illnesses due to its high demand nature. Amazon employs many staff through employment agencies at peak times with most working for the average hourly rate of £6.50 per hour rising to over £8 pounds for 10 hour evening shift.
The undercover agency reporter/agency worker said he felt like a machine that was not encouraged to think for himself and just follow the computer, he said he had walked approx. 11 miles during his 10 hour night shift and that his feet were left feeling painful and sore.
Amazon hit back claiming that new recruits are warned of the active nature of the roll stating that many staff actually enjoy the exercise with employees volunteering for the roles especially because of the activeness of the job. The also went on to say:
"Amazon said it had invested £1bn in the UK and created 5,000 permanent jobs. It added that it relied on the good judgement of thousands of employees. The company said: "Together we're working hard to make sure we're better tomorrow than we are today."
The full programme is available now in the UK on BBC iplayer: Behind the click is part of the Panorama series aired earlier this evening at 20.30.

I'm a really private person.
If you were to talk to my closest friends, they'd tell you this is true.
I typically keep my personal info PERSONAL!
But, my friend Shannon prompted me to share more freely today.
It happened many years ago, but I remember it like it was yesterday.
I remember embracing my precious friends one final time.
I remember pulling out of the long driveway of that brand-new, specially crafted, beautiful house for the last time.
I remember the forever drive to our new location.
I remember feeling so sad, so heartbroken, and so disappointed as we traveled.
I remember numbly unloading our belongings in the freezing cold weather.
And, I remember why we had to go through all of this.
All of this pain, change and hurt sprung from the actions of one man and his wife.
Without going into great detail, I can tell you that we were crushed by the situation and strongly compelled to leave.
We knew that our only option was to move to another position and another city.
It was the hardest thing we have ever had to do.
And, in the aftermath, I faced a really tough question:
Would I forgive this man and his wife?
Actually, I believe that ALL OF US will face injustice, betrayal, deceit, and rejection by friends, family members, co-workers, neighbors, employers, and even by Christian leaders and pastors.
No one is immune to being wounded!
Not even a fierce woman!
How does a fierce woman forgive when she is wounded by someone else?
First, a fierce woman forgives by looking to Jesus and trusting that He knows best.
Trusting God was not my first thought, and it will likely not be yours either. But, God gave us a verse during this season, and I'll share it with you.
'But Joseph replied, "Don't be afraid of me. Am I God, that I can punish you? You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people."' (Genesis 50:19-20)
Joseph trusted God's hand and His plans even when his own brothers sold him into slavery. It ultimately led to great joy and the salvation of many.
Similarly, in our lives, God's plans will often lead through dark valleys of pain and rejection. When we are in these deep, dark valleys we must determine to trust God – no matter what. Why? Because He is able to use these moments in our lives for our good and for His glory.Fierce women forgive by trusting God no matter how hard it is to trust Him. #fiercelyHis… Click To Tweet
Second, a fierce woman forgives by praying for that one who has hurt her.
Oh, this one is so hard!
Your initial prayers may start out, "Get him, Lord! Get her, Lord!"
In time, however, you can learn to pray for God to bless that person who hurt you. You can begin to pray for God to heal them, restore them, encourage them, and help them.
Jesus told us to do this in Matthew 5:44, "I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer."
And, somehow, praying for someone who has hurt you frees up your heart to forgive. It enables you to let that person go. Praying for your enemies will remove that root of bitterness that wants to make itself at home in your heart.
Fierce women forgive by praying for those who wounded them. #fiercelyHis @melanieredd Click To Tweet
Third, a fierce woman forgives by shutting her mouth when she wants to speak ill of that one who has hurt her.
It is so easy for hurt people to gripe, whine, and complain to everyone who will listen. We are struggling, and it's natural to want to vent and vent and vent.
Don't do this! Talk to a few trusted friends and prayer partners. Get the story out with a very small group of people – if you must. (And, most of us must!)
Then, move on.
Hush! Let the only time you talk about the hurt be with the Lord. He can handle it!
Pastor Adrian Rogers used to say, "When someone hurts you, tell Jesus on them." Fierce women forgive by hushing their mouths! #fiercelyHis @melanieredd Click To Tweet
Lastly, a fierce woman forgives by showing kindness to that one who has hurt her.
This last step to forgiveness may be the most difficult.
To show kindness to a person who has wounded you or broken your heart, this is the ultimate test for most of us.
Look at what Solomon writes in Proverbs 25:21-22:
"If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat. If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the LORD will reward you."
When we show kindness to our enemies, we heap burning coals of shame on their heads. (Some of you are enjoying this picture a little too much right now!) And, we are promised the reward of the Lord. Fierce women forgive by showing kindness to their enemies. #fiercelyHis @melanieredd Click To Tweet
Today, if you and I were to meet for coffee, you would be able to look into my eyes and know that I've been able to forgive that man and his wife.
Does the story still touch a tender place in my heart? Absolutely.
But, I've had the opportunity to practice all of the steps I've shared (even the last one) with this couple, and my heart is completely free.
The ultimate truth about unforgiveness is this:
"Holding a grudge doesn't make you strong, it makes you bitter.
Forgiving doesn't make you weak, it sets you free."
(Dave Willis)

On Monday, we mapped the Walton family's backing of charter schools.
Today we note the family's support of a couple of media organizations that cover charter schools - NPR and the Education Writers Association.
NPR also draws support from the left, of course. One notable contributor is George Soros, through his Foundation to Promote Open Society.
As for-profit media companies struggle or collapse under the weight of digital competition, nonprofit news organizations have arisen. They, too, rely on private support.
The interactive Muckety map above shows some of the funders of organizations such as ProPublica and the Center for Investigative Reporting.

That means McIlroy will miss next week's first event of the FedEx Cup play-off series, the Barclays Championship in New Jersey, but will return for the following week's Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston and then play the last two events. McIlroy's aim will be to scoop the $ 10 million (£6.38 million) bonus which goes to the FedEx points winner at the end of the Tour Championship in Atlanta on Sept 27.
McIlroy will only take a two-week break before turning out again at the Frys.com Open in California and after that will head back to the European Tour in his attempt to win the Race to Dubai for the third time in four years.
McIlroy might even play in the four events which comprise the Final Series, starting with the Turkish Airlines Open which begins in Belek just 12 days after the Frys.com Open. There follow two tournaments in China before the finale in the UAE. After that merry lot, McIlroy would probably need a long lie down before a 2016 season which the game hopes will see the Ulsterman embroiled in a fight for golfing dominance with Jordan Spieth.
The 22-year-old was in the final group here on Sunday trying to become just the third player in history to win three majors in a season and the first to win the three US majors in a season. After seven holes, Spieth had lost ground to the Australian Jason Day, who with some inspired putting – including a 50-footer on the seventh – had moved four clear of his playing partner courtesy of four birdies which took him to 19-under.
Branden Grace, the South African, had taken over as the nearest pursuer at the stage, going through the first seven in four-under to close within three. Five off the pace was Justin Rose, in his mission to become the first English winner of the US PGA in 96 years.
How McIlroy would have craved to be in that battle and how Ireland would have loved to be cheering him own. However, at least one countryman was willing on Spieth. "What this game thrives on is rivalry and I think I for one am pulling for Jordan," Paul McGinley said. "As much as I am a Rory fan and I want to see Rory win majors, I am also supporting Jordan because I know Jordan is going to push Rory. It is good for the game and the sport of golf and it is healthy for both of the players."
McGinley is adamant that on his day, McIlroy will have the measure of not just Spieth but Day as well. "I think everyone would agree that Rory has a different gear to everyone else in terms of the long game," McGinley told www.irishgolfdesk.com.
"But Jordan also has a different gear in terms of the short game. And it's not just Jordan – you have to fancy Jason Day too. Looking at his physique, you'd think it was his length that was his strength but the strength of his game is his short game. And when you combine that with his length off the tee, it's a very good combo when it comes to majors What's great for Rory in all of this is that he's being driven forward. That's been proved in every other sport, not just golf.
"Has Rory got an X factor Spieth and Day don't have? He certainly has it in the long game. We saw it in the first round here when he was the only one to hit it pin high on the second into that right to left wind. Nobody else in the game can do that. We have seen him go away from fields and go into overdrive. We saw it in Quail Hollow this year when he shot that 61 on Saturday and won by seven.
"He has that extra gift to go into overdrive to pull away that the other guys don't have but they will pose a challenge and that's always been something Rory has thrived on. One of the things that Rory has done in his whole career is respond very strongly to challenges. He is going to react well to this again. I am looking on it as a real positive."
Having gone through the first five holes in four under in Saturday's 68 – "a dream start" as he put it – McIlroy could not trap so quickly this time. Ironically, it was a bogey on the sixth which stalled his third-round charge; a day later he birdied the short par four, holing from 10ft. On the 227-yard seventh, his putter consented again, this time from 20ft. There was another birdie on the 10th, where he almost drove the green, but a bogey on the 13th curtailed his progress.
Lee Westwood closed out a disappointing major season with a 72 for two-under which left him outside the top 35. This was the first time in eight years that the 42-year-old failed to record a major top 10. One shot ahead with three remaining was another Englishman in Luke Donald, while Paul Casey was level with Westwood with six remaining.

*To a Maximum of $100,000
The focus of this webinar will be money from an inheritance left to a person receiving ODSP benefits.
We will look at the difference for someone on ODSP benefits between receiving:
Money from a Trust*
*To a Maximum of $100,000
(NOT an Exempt Asset)
*Exempt to a Maximum of $100,000
A Testamentary Trust and a Shelter Trust are treated differently by ODSP:
*To a Maximum of $100,000
*To a Maximum of $100,000
*To a Maximum of $100,000
Third Situation (Not Covered by ODSP Policy):
An Inheritance of more than $100,000 is NOT an Exempt Asset because it is over the allowable ODSP maximum limit.
A Henson Trust is also called a "Discretionary Trust."
Because of its discretionary nature, the person on ODSP has NO SAY in how the Trust is managed.
The Trust is considered not to be an asset of the Beneficiary.
The Beneficiary has:
Henson Trust is named after the person who first tried to establish such a Trust in the 1980s.
Because the person on ODSP has no control over the funds, ODSP will allow a person who inherits more than $100,000 to stay on ODSP benefits, if:
Without these safeguards, the person will no longer qualify for ODSP benefits.
A Henson Trust established through a Will passes wealth on without jeopardizing a person's eligibility or entitlement to ODSP benefits because of its discretionary nature.
The Trustee has a lot of power so:
How well does the Trustee know the Beneficiary?
Parents, siblings or spouses of persons on ODSP disability benefits have to plan ahead, to ensure that intended legacies for that person do not jeopardize the person's entitlement to ODSP benefits, nor reduce the amount of ODSP assistance.
As I have outlined, a simple Trust in a Will might suffice. However, depending on the size of the intended legacy, a Henson or Discretionary Trust may be necessary.
Bottom Line – Consult a lawyer familiar with estates and trusts to determine what would be appropriate to protect the legacy for the person receiving ODSP benefits.

When shopping for hiking boots you need to ensure that they fit correctly. If you do not fit your boots correctly they could start to rub and this can cause blisters. There are certain steps that you can take to ensure you are fitting your boots correctly, and that you can buy them affordably.
Know Your Size
The first step to getting the right hiking boots is to know your size. If you are buying boots online you should measure your foot and use a sizing chart to determine the best fit. If you are buying in a store then you should start with boots that are the same size as your regular shoes.
Try Boots On At The End Of The Day
When trying boots on, you should always do this at the end of the day. During the day your feet will swell even if you cannot easily determine that they have. By trying the boots on at the point when your feet are their largest will ensure you do not get boots that are too small. You will also ensure that the boots remain comfortable during your hike when your feet may swell.
Wear Appropriate Socks
When you try the boots on you need to have the appropriate socks on. The thickness of the socks should match the ones you will wear when hiking. These socks should be synthetic as they dry faster than cotton socks which could give you blisters.
Walk In The Boots
Finding the right fit is not only about the size of the shoe, but also the comfort you feel. This is why you should walk around the store in the boots. If possible walk up and down some stairs or up and incline to see how the boots will handle this.
Consider The Boots Volume
Sizing is not only about the length of your foot, but the volume as well. If you have the boot on fully laced, but still feel space above the top of the foot then the volume of the boot is wrong. You will want a limited amount of space around your foot otherwise, you could have issues when hiking.
Consider The Brands
Whether you are buying online or in a store you need to consider the brand of the boot. It is recommended that you first try boots from a brand that you have worn before and were happy with. Most hiking boot companies have consistent foot models making the fit on all of their boots very similar. Additionally, you will know what you can and can't do in the boots if you have used the brand before.
Look At Insoles
While most hiking boots have good mid-soles and offer a fair amount of comfort you should still consider insoles. Insoles for hiking boots come in different models with some looking to increase comfort while others enhance the support offered by the boot. These can be bought after the boots, but you will need to consider how much space they will take when fitting the boots.

text: Johnny Kash 10 Report post Posted September 14, 2016 Hi folks, I know theres a few of us out there renting and having to deal with the 'joys' of Adelaide landlords/agents so thought Id share my experience. We have been in a dispute with our rental agency for 4 months now (all the time our bond being held of course). To give some balance this is our 4th rental in Adelaide and there have never been any issues with agents, we always got a professional exit clean and bonds always returned in full. Until now...... At the last exit inspection the cowboy agents came up with some nonsense 'issues' which would have taken $1500 from our bond. I honestly think some agents rely on tenants in these situations not being able to have their bond money tied up while a hearing is scheduled (having an entire bond suspended for 4 months, many people will rely on this to fund the next bond!) or they assume tenants are unaware of any redress available to them, or maybe don't want the hassle. Anyway we took our case to the tribunal and they ruled in our favour and bond returned so a good outcome in the end. For anyone out there whose been in the wrong end of rogue landlords/agents - and theres a few out there - don't let them bully you, if you think you have a case go to the South Australian Civil & Administrative Tribunal (SACAT). There is a fee but the landlord has to cover this so no cost for tenants. Its fairly formal if it gets to a hearing, you have to swear under oath but the judge I have to say was superb, the agent representative was fairly aggressive at times but the judge was having none of it and put her back in her box a few times . Bit like a female Judge Rinder actually If anyone wants advice on the tribunal process feel free to PM. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Defense Switching More Workers to NSPS
About 66,000 Defense Department civil service employees will make up the second wave of workers converting to a new personnel system that more closely ties pay raises to occupations, locations and job performance, the Pentagon announced yesterday.
The Defense employees will shift into the National Security Personnel System from October to January. The first phase of 11,000 employees converted over a two-week period that began April 28.
The NSPS is one of the biggest changes in the civil service since 1978, when Congress reorganized the personnel and labor-management relations systems on a government-wide basis. Defense officials hope that the new system will make it easier to quickly hire experts and reassign employees as the department responds to terrorist and other post-Cold War threats.
Under the NSPS, "employees will be focused on outcomes that support our national security mission and they will be rewarded for results," said Michael Dominguez , principal deputy undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness.
The employees selected for the second phase belong to more than 40 major Defense commands across the country and overseas. They include more than 750 employees at the Washington Navy Yard, 378 employees at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, and 537 employees at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia.
As in the first phase, members of the second group of employees scheduled for conversion hold jobs that are not covered by union contracts.
The selection of management and other non-union jobs permits the Pentagon to avert any legal wrangling with a coalition of Defense unions, including the American Federation of Government Employees. The unions have sued to stop parts of the NSPS that labor leaders contend would gut collective-bargaining rights. A federal judge has blocked the start of the NSPS labor rules, and the department has filed an appeal. The labor coalition also is lobbying in Congress to block funding for the parts of the NSPS enjoined by the federal judge.
The Defense Department has about 650,000 civil service employees, and the Pentagon's long-range plans call for shifting most into the NSPS, which sets out new rules for pay, employee evaluations, job classification, job assignments and layoffs.
A central feature of the new system is "pay bands," or broad salary ranges, that will replace the decades-old, 15-grade General Schedule used across most of the government. Defense officials view the General Schedule as inappropriate for the high-tech, multi-tasking workplace and contends that the pay system rewards longevity rather than excellence.
Through a more rigorous job rating system, officials hope to use the NSPS to provide the department's best workers with higher raises than are possible under the GS rules.
Employees will not take a cut in pay upon conversion to the NSPS and most will receive a raise to account for time earned toward their next within-grade increase, the Pentagon said.
Mary E. Lacey , the NSPS program executive officer, said the four-month window for shifting employees into the system will help ensure that managers and employees receive training on the new pay and personnel rules.
"We want to give organizations sufficient time to train employees, do it right and implement when they are ready," she said.
Lacey said she has met with officials involved in converting the first 11,000 employees and found that the process had gone smoothly. "We are pleased with what we are seeing thus far, at least with the technical aspects of conversion," she said.
Employees in the second phase will be rated under new performance appraisal criteria, starting the day of their conversion, and will receive their first performance-based pay raises in January 2008, the Pentagon said.
Moving On
Kristi M. Clemens , assistant commissioner for public affairs at Customs and Border Protection, is leaving the Homeland Security Department to work for a security risk management company.
Clemens previously served as a director in the press office of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad and worked at the Federal Transit Administration and the Small Business Administration.
