Wakefield-based insurance brokerage sold to third-generation family business
Thomas Gregory Associates Insurance Agency, a full-service, privately-held insurance brokerage firm founded in 1995 by Tom Gregory and Will Surette, announced the sale of the company to Bangor, Maine-based Cross Insurance, a subsidiary of Cross Financial Corp., to expand the recently formed Cross Insurance Wakefield.
Like Cross Insurance, Thomas Gregory Associates Insurance Agency (TGA) provides insurance and risk management services for commercial property and casualty insurance, personal insurance and employee benefits. Born on the premise of international broker knowledge and resources, coupled with regional broker service and attention, TGA has proven itself to be one of the leading insurance brokerages in New England.
"TGA's staff is composed of individuals with many years of experience at international insurance firms and regional brokerages in the New England area, and together with Cross' highly-skilled staff, we are sure to deliver the kind of professional insurance services you can always trust to take charge of your insurance and risk management issues," said Woodrow Cross, Chairman of the Board of Cross Insurance.
Cross Insurance is a privately-held insurance agency/brokerage firm with more than 400 employees and is one of the largest insurance firms in New England. In March 2011, Cross Insurance acquired Mazonson Insurance in Wakefield, Mass. to form Cross Insurance Wakefield. With this additional acquisition of Thomas Gregory Associates (TGA), the agency will now have over 50 employees in their Wakefield, MA office.
"On behalf of everyone at TGA, I am looking forward to the future growth and success of our combined companies," said Tom Gregory, co-founder of TGA and the newly named President of TGA/Cross Insurance Wakefield. "Our clients will continue to receive outstanding service from our Account Teams. The combined entity brings greater synergies, capabilities, and market clout to our clients and prospects, and will support our efforts to continually exceed our clients' expectations," continued Gregory.
Cross Insurance Wakefield will continue to offer customized insurance-based risk management solutions and consulting in the areas of Commercial Property and Casualty, Employee and Voluntary Worksite Benefits, HR Services and Personal Lines Property and Casualty via their Private Client Group (PCG). They offer specialized analytical tools for managing the cost of clients' risk and provide clients with 24-hour claims advocacy and support.
"With TGA being a family-owned business like Cross, combined with their strong presence not only in the Boston area, but nationwide, I'm confident the marriage of the two companies will be a success," said Woodrow Cross, CEO of Cross Insurance. Woodrow Cross founded Cross Insurance in 1954 after having proudly served in WWII. He has built the organization "one policy at a time" to become one of New England's largest insurance providers.
This summer Cross Insurance will work to merge their two Wakefield locations together into one suite at Edgewater Drive in Wakefield, MA. Cross Insurance Wakefield can be reached at the same phone numbers: 781-224-5700 or 800-531-5211.
About Cross Insurance

At Cross, we leverage our industry standing with more than 110 of the nation's top insurance carriers, brokering policies that consistently match our clients' needs - at the best rates available. That's why more than 15,000 businesses trust Cross for property and liability insurance, employee benefits packages, surety bonds, and comprehensive risk management advice and counsel, and why Cross is one of New England's largest insurance providers.

Strasbourg on new year day
Report Abuse
Strasbourg (and all of Alsace-Moselle) is totally dead on Sundays and holidays due to continued application of German law. Tourists will be fed, however.
Report Abuse
Strasbourg (and all of Alsace-Moselle) is totally dead on Sundays and holidays due to continued application of German law.>
well kerouac lots of French French towns seem to be doornail dead on Sundays as well due to French law that mandates most stores cannot open - Orleans which I have habituated for months on end is a prime example - or is Orleans also under German law.
Please - seriously please explain the difference in Germanic laws in Strasbourg and those in places like Orelans - both roll up the sidewalks on Sundays?
Report Abuse
Alsace-Moselle is governed by local legislation that derived from changes made to the law between 1871 and 1919, when the region was part of Germany. That local legislation is different from French law applicable elsewhere in France.
How that relates specifically to Sundays and holidays, I don't know. But I do know the city will be battened down tight on New Year's Day - been there.
Report Abuse
And so will Orleans, under French law, presumably - what is the difference if both are totally dead. Do not blame it on the Germans if the French have the seemingly exact same laws?
Report Abuse
Shops can open if they want to on Sundays and holidays in the rest of France (subject to certain rules). If nobody wants to open anything in Orléans on such days, that's not my problem, but in Alsace, they do not even have the option.
Report Abuse
Nobody's blaming anything on the Germans, Pal. Catch up on the actual history - try google, for example. What happens in Orléans is irrelevant to what happens in Alsace-Moselle. Orléans wasn't ever a part of Germany as far as I know. As kerouac pointed out, what the Orléanais choose to do on Sunday is their business, bound by certain French laws but NOT the ones that businesses in Alsace-Moselle are bound by. Get the facts and see if you can process them.
Report Abuse
One quirk in Alsace-Moselle (but this has nothing to do with shopping or activities) is that all clergymen there are civil servants and are paid by the government. If they did this in the rest of France, I think we would have their heads on spikes.
Report Abuse
I think most cities are totally dead on New Years Day everywhere. They are pretty dead where I live in the US.
Report Abuse
Shops can open if they want to on Sundays and holidays in the rest of France (subject to certain rules)>
I thought there were national laws that prevent places like Carrefour, such as the one in central Orleans that would bring folks into town - laws that prevent these grand surfaces from opening - am I wrong in that kerouac - are you saying it is only local law that prevent most stores in Orelans from opening?
I think labor unions may also play a role in keeping stores - most stores except Arab-run stores in Orelans at least - unions do not want their employees having to work on Sunday.
I do think I have read there are national laws dictating why stores like Carrefour must close on Sundays except some weeks before Christmas - some smaller supermarkets like InterMarche are allowed to open to about noon - but this is for food only stores - most other stores I think are ordered closed by law - national law my local contacts say or by unions who refuse to have workers work on Sunday.
Report Abuse
<France (from Wiki)
France laws about Sunday shopping are complex. Although Sunday shopping is generally not allowed, there are many exceptions such as certain zones and municipalities of the metropolitan areas of Paris, Marseille, and Lille; as well as around 500 cities that were declared as tourist towns, including major cities such as Nice, Le Havre, Bordeaux, etc. Most major stores nationwide open every December Sunday prior to Christmas. Supermarkets (but not Hypermarkets) are allowed to open nationwide every Sunday morning until 13:00 for grocery shopping. The 2009 relaxation allowed all stores to open in tourist areas (before, only sports, toys and cultural shops were allowed). The most visible result is that now clothing stores open every Sunday on places such as Champs Elysees in Paris, La Défense, and downtown Nice.[8]
In 2008, the furniture chain IKEA was fined €450,000 (over $700,000) for trading on Sundays under the law of 1906.[9] With the current law, IKEA stores are allowed to open every Sunday. However only the ones on the Paris metropolitan area actually do so.>
The above comes from Wikipedia - and confirms that these laws are not local laws but enforced by the national government and apply throughout France - some exceptions for touristed areas are made but stores like IKEA and Carrefour are indeed forced to close by not local law but national laws.
Report Abuse
The Alsace-Moselle laws are an exception - do you not understand that?
Report Abuse
There is talk about bringing Alsace-Moselle in line with the rest of French law one of these days, but it is very dangerous territory, because that region apparently has better social security and retirement plans than the rest of France. Since one of the main rules in France is that you cannot remove "acquired advantages," this would mean giving the same advantages to the rest of the country regarding those aspects, and this is clearly not possible in view of current economic conditions.
Report Abuse
The Alsace-Moselle laws are an exception - do you not understand that?>
Yes I do but you simply do not understand what I have been saying - so what if the laws are different if the effect is exactly the same - i e dear do not blame it on some Alsace law that most stores are forced to close on Sundays - it's also the national law that dictates that.
Do you understand what I am saying?
Report Abuse
When your frame of reference is limited to Orléans, it's easy to understand why you don't get the point. The effect is not exactly the same everywhere, and that's because national law makes very different allowances than the Alsace-Moselle law.

"For the moment I think you guys deserve a full update on the band and what we're up to. Many things have happened since the Northern Shores tour. Some good things as well as some less good things but all in all we are very happy with the direction the band is taking and can't wait for you all to hear it.

Our new guitarist Collin McGee has been a welcome addition to our ranks and his leads will contribute to taking our music to a new level of musicianship.
"We recently hosted a private party here in Montreal where we premiered a bunch of our new tracks to some of the local Metal Militia and had a great time. The feedback was very positive so we're all very excited about that. Besides that we were extremely pleased to be offered a slot opening for Decapitated, Decrepit Birth, Fleshgod Apocalypse and Rings of Saturn at Foufounnes Electriques on Wednesday, October 26th (Event here).

Interview with Kyle Sanders Of MonstrO
Heavy rockers MonstrO released their first album earlier this year. On paper, the group is a newcomer. However, each member has a long resume, playing in numerous, recognized metal bands such as Danzig, Torche, Bloodsimple, Skrew and Jerry Cantrell. The group has a long-standing relationship with Alice in Chains. MonstrO used Chains vocalist William DuVall to produce their debut, self-titled album. Kyle Sanders opened for Alice in Chains on his tour with Bloodsimple, and drummer Bevan Davies sat behind the kit for Jerry Cantrell and with William DuVall in Comes with the Fall.
The vast experience each member brings surely played a role in MonstrO's myriad sound. The group displays elements of stoner rock, psychedelic, heavy metal, hard rock and grunge. In an effort to describe the band without boxing it into a single sub-genre, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Kyuss are bands that come to mind. The group lists Kyuss as an influence, which makes their current tour with the renamed and revamped Kyuss Lives! all the more sweeter.
Before treading a path to the stage for The Sword and Kyuss Lives! (reviewed here ), arguably the stoner rock tour of the year, MonstrO founder and bassist spoke with Metal Underground from Stubb's subterranean dressing room in Austin, Texas. The dreadlocked, deep-toned provider enthusiastically stated how grateful he was to open for a band of such admiration, while recalling the closing of a chapter in his life in Bloodsimple, and the opening of a new chapter with MonstrO.

Head over to The Judas Chain's Reverbnation page to check out "Estelle." Bahn also commented on the track:
"New track 'Estelle' recorded 'live' at The Crypt, a cold, dark ,damp place with its own ethereal whispers of the past....engineered? by an old man, with an even older stick. Tis a doom laden Gothic tale of a girl that we all once new who was led to her demise by us all, but she remains... For always, as the shadow... in the window... of the old house... watching us... and waiting... Ave!"

Almost every week, the Alaska Supreme Court issues its written opinions on Friday. You can download free PDF versions of these opinions here. You can also subscribe to a free e-mail list that will e-mail you links to each week's opinions here. Each week, I will try to post a summary of that week's opinions, focusing primarily on those opinions addressing civil litigation matters. While Supreme Court Opinions dealing with family law (such as disputes over visitation with the family dog) or criminal matters (how to get barred from attending your own criminal trial) offer interesting reading at times, they are not particularly relevant to the issues the lawyers at Atkinson Conway & Gagnon normally face.
This week, there was only one opinion issued that is of interest. In Villaflores v. Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, Clarito Villaflores, who is Asian and over 40 years old, applied for a human resources position with ConocoPhillips. He was not hired. Mr. Villaflores then filed a complaint with Alaska's Human Rights Commission, alleging that ConocoPhillips did not hire him because of his race and age. The Human Rights Commission rejected this claim and dismissed his case.
The primary issue on appeal was whether the Human Rights Commission's decision was supported by substantial evidence. The Court noted that to prevail on a his employment discrimination case, Mr. Villaflores had to prove: (1) he belonged to a protected class; (2) he applied for and was qualified for the position he was denied; (3) his application was rejected despite his qualifications; and (4) the employer hired someone not in the same protected class. While Mr. Villaflores was in protected class (Asian and over 40), the Court found that he had failed to establish that he was qualified for the job. Specifically, his job application did not show that he had the requisite five to 10 years of human resources experience required by ConocoPhillips. Moreover, the person hired by ConocoPhillips did. Consequently, Mr. Villaflores claim was properly denied by the Human Rights Commission because Mr. Villaflores failed to make out a prima facie case of employment discrimination.

Dev Team Updates Redsn0w to Include 4.3.2 Untether
News is spreading like wildfire within the jailbreak community at this hour as the Dev Team has just revised the RedSn0w jailbreak tool with iOS 4.3.2 support. All told, RedSn0w will, indeed, jailbreak iOS 4.3.2 and is now available on both Mac OS X and Windows.
With incredible speed, the Dev Team has once again worked its magic, despite the release of iOS 4.3.2 by Apple less than one week ago. To be fair, of course, i0n1c's untether certainly deserves some major props for the expedience of the this latest jailbreak update.
"Only a few weeks after the 4.3.1 untether created by @i0n1c was released," the Dev Team posted on their blog, "Apple pushed out firmware 4.3.2. Thankfully, it appears Apple didn't have a chance to fix the hole used by @i0n1c's untether, so he ported his code over to 4.3.2's kernel."
Best of all, the 4.3.2 untether works on all devices that actually support 4.3.2 (except for the iPad 2). That means: iPhone3GS, iPhone4 (GSM), iPod touch 3G, iPod touch 4G, and the first-gen iPad.
As always, the Dev Team warns, ultrasn0w unlockers "should stay away from redsn0w and only update their firmware through a custom IPSW. We'll release a new version of PwnageTool sometime this week."

Author has written 9 stories for Castle, Stargate: Atlantis, Supernatural, Avengers, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..
My best friend inadvertently introduced me to fanfiction and now I just can't stop! It's possibly some kind of unhealthy addiction but I'm way past caring. The stargate fic was my first but my writing took a completely different direction when I discovered the perfection that is Kevin Ryan/Javier Esposito. Right at the moment I'm loving supernatural (must write lots of fiction to make up for the season ending) but I don't really ship wincest. I do however ship J2 fiction and am currently working on something, although I won't be able to post it here because them's the rules.
I enoy listening to classic rock and I believe that old fashioned muscle cars are absolutely the best. These are probably strange things for a girl to be into but I don't like to be placed in a box with a label! There's not much in this world that I don't like but I can't stand unfair prejudice. People deserve the right to be indivials without anyone causing a fuss and if they're not hurting anyone then I don't see why it should bother anyone.
I recently watched the new avengers movie so expect some fics from me because I LOVED it! :)
Lastly, I hope you all enjoy my stories. I do try to respond to any reviews or comments and I would love it if people wanted to PM me directly with either. I will try to respond directly but I can't make any promises and I'll be doing my best.If you do read my fics then please send a review. Even if it's just a :) or :( any feedback would be appreciated. Do be gentle, though, because I'm learning just like everyone else!

Herman Cain's rapid rise to national prominence in the 2012 presidential campaign is as amazing as his rags to riches personal life story.
It's almost impossible not to like Herman Cain. Not only is he a gifted orator, but also his quick wit makes him entertaining to listen to and his charming personality is equally infectious. It's no wonder Cain has been successful as a radio host and now as a national politician.
However, for all of Cain's strengths as a candidate and campaigner he has a major weakness – a lack of substance. It's probably blasphemous to ask Cain "where's the beef" when it comes to specific policy since it's a famous ad campaign from a fast food joint other than Godfathers Pizza. However, after watching last night's debate, I've come to the conclusion that if Herman Cain was a pizza, he would be a simple cheese pizza void of any toppings.
As has been the case with all of the previous debates, Cain proves that he can effectively deliver talking points, but he utterly fails to offer any specifics even when asked to provide them. Cain repeatedly talked up his 9-9-9 plan, but when the debate moderators or his opponents critiqued it, he offered little in the way of a defense other than to say that they were wrong.
The sad part is that, even now that Cain is a serious contender for the Republican nomination, the debate organizers let him get away with shrugging off any criticism that comes his way. While candidates like Mitt Romney and Rick Perry have to constantly explain their healthcare mandates, Cain is able to smile, wink, and deny his way out of any uncomfortable situation that may arise.
Here are a few examples from last night's debate. You can read the full transcript by clicking here.
To start the debate, Cain was asked, "What would you do specifically to end the paralysis in Washington?" Cain's answered by citing his "bold" 9-9-9 plan to grow the economy and stated that the nation needs to get serious about bringing down the national debt.
So much for the specifics.
This answer from Cain is insufficient and incomplete not just because every Republican presidential candidate basically agrees when it comes to the debt, but because President Obama himself uses the same language. In his State of the Union Address, President Obama said, "Now, the final critical step in winning the future is to make sure we aren't buried under a mountain of debt." Since Cain has never held office, providing substance is critically important because Cain has no record to back up what he's saying. Cain's 9-9-9 plan does provide some specifics, but when the plan is scrutinized, Cain attacks those who question it instead of defending or explaining how the plan would work.
Here are a couple examples from the debate:
Mr. Cain, you say that your plan is revenue-neutral. And last year, the U.S. collected $2.2 trillion dollars in tax revenue, but Bloomberg Government has run the numbers, and your plan would have raised no more than $2 trillion. And even with that shortfall, you'd still be slapping a 9 percent sales tax on food and medicine.
CAIN: The problem with that analysis is that it is incorrect.
The reason it is incorrect is because they start with the assumptions that we don't make. Remember, 9-9-9 plan throws out the current tax code. And it starts with three simple economic driving principles: production drives the economy, risk-taking drives growth, and we need sound money, measurements must be dependable.
Now what 9-9-9 does, it expands the base. When you expand the base, we can arrive at the lowest possible rate, which is 9-9-9. The difference between the 9-9-9 plan and the other plans that are being proposed is that they pivot off of the existing tax code.
We have had an outside firm, independent firm dynamically score it. And so our numbers will make it revenue neutral.
Cain initially tries to ignore the question by saying those who criticize him are wrong. This exchange reminded me of an incident I had with Cain in Des Moines when I pressed him about his lack of campaigning in Iowa before the Straw Poll. When I stated that he had only held six events over the span of a few months, Cain said I didn't have my fact straight even though I was correct. In this instance, the question is fair, but Cain dismisses it.
Cain was pressed again on the issue.
But then explain why under your plan all Americans should be paying more for milk, for a loaf of bread, and beer?
Cain answered, "Pizza, I don't buy beer."
He then offered some further justification:
You have to start with the biggest tax cut a lot of Americans pay, which is the payroll tax, 15.3 percent. That goes to 9 percent. That is a 6-percentage point difference. And the prices will not go up. So they have got a 6 percentage point difference to apply to the national sales tax piece of that, and in doing so, they have the flexibility to decide on how much they want to spend it on new goods, how much they want to spend it on used goods. Because there is no tax on used goods.
The last time I looked, its impossible to buy used bread or beer, so once again Cain is avoiding answering a serious question about his economic plan by ignoring the question and using humor to defuse a tense situation.
Cain's 9-9-9 plan was also attacked for being impractical since it would be difficult to enact. Congress can't even agree to cut spending let alone agree to scrap the entire tax code. Just like the question on paying a federal sales tax on bread, these are foundational questions that Cain has to be able to answer in order to defend his proposal.
Still, Cain mocked those who criticized the practicality of his plan. "9-9-9 will pass, and it is not the price of a pizza, because it has been well-studied and well-developed," Cain claimed. "And it will pass, Senator, because the American people want it to pass," He added later.
Cain's substance problem goes deeper than his 9-9-9 tax plan. As we saw the last time the national media became infatuated with him, Cain came off looking confused on 2nd Amendment Rights when he said that states and local government have the right to pass gun restrictions.
Cain has also struggled with foreign policy. In a Fox News debate he openly admitted that he was not knowledgeable enough to make decisions about the US involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and thus would defer to the Generals in the field. He also flubbed a key foreign policy question on Israel.
Despite being lauded for his performance in last night's debate by the mainstream media, Cain depth of knowledge was called into question even outside of his 9-9-9 plan. When asked which Federal Reserve chairman over the last 40 years he thinks has been most successful and might serve as a model for that appointment, he answered Alan Greenspan.
The justification for his answer had nothing to do with Greenspan's policies as the Chairman of the Fed, which most conservatives disagreed with, but rather, Cain praised Greenspan for how he coordinated the Fed in the 1990's. Again, when it comes to Cain, personality trumps policy.
Speaking of the Fed, Ron Paul asked Cain if he still thought that those who wanted to audit the Fed were ignorant. Once again Cain attacks the messenger and tells Paul that he shouldn't believe everything he reads on the internet. However, Paul was exactly right about what Cain said, with Cain having made these comments not all that long ago during his presidential campaign.
Whether it was in last night's debate or throughout the campaign, Herman Cain has been devoid of substance. The news media seems uninterested in Cain's inability to get away from the talking points and provide some specifics. Now that Cain is riding high in the polls, one would hope that would change. Maybe it will, but they sure let Cain slip by last night.
In this election cycle, Cain should be providing "meat lovers" type substance. Sadly, all he is offering is cheese pizza, but I guess it's selling. And in the end, that's all that matters.

ReviewI have my own business and to be honest looking at all the other trucks i would buy the same truck again. No matter what i do to it it keeps on going, whether its in a farmers field or hauling a trailer. No matter what it is it will do it with ease and comfort and that is what a work truck should be. I have a 2009 F250 and a 2008 dodge 2500 and even with the 4.3L I still take it over my 6.0L powerstroke diesel and 6.7L cummins because it is just so nice to drive no matter what is in the back or what you are pulling. That i what a work truck should do.
Best Featuresthe pure ride comfort is second to none as stated previously
Worst FeaturesOn my 4.3L, try to improve fuel economy and try to make it easier to find a ext cab long box

DO YOU WANT A NICE POUT? There are simple home remedies to follow and if you have time on your hands, we are sure you will be able to achieve those kissable lips. Lip care is very important and it should be focused on everyday.

Take a look at some of the best possible and hot ways to keep your lips kissable:
Do You Lick Your Lips?
One of the worst habits most of us have is licking our lips at every little chance we get. Licking your lips will only leave them dry, chapped not so nice.
Lip Colours
You should make it a point to change your lip colour regularly. Don't stick to only one shade. There are a lot of hues which will help you look hot and sexy.
Quit The Butt
Smoking is not only harmful for your health, it is also harmful for your lips as it causes your lips to wrinkle and turn black too. Therefore, one of the best and hot ways to keep your lips kissable is to forget about smoking.
Homemade Cream
As we age gracefully, the colour of our lips fade and wrinkle out. Therefore, applying a homemade natural cream on your lips every night will help to look after them and will keep your lips totally kissable.
Moisturise Them
Have you tried any of these homemade lips balms? Well, it is best to only use natural products on your lips to make them kiss ready. Apply these balm to avoid your lips from getting chapped and dry.
Exfolaite Your Lips
Exfolaiting your lips is ideally the best tip to follow every second day, whether in winter or summer. Try these lip exfolaitiors to help keep your lips kissable.

The Boston Celtics selected Ohio State forward Jared Sullinger with the 21st pick in the 2012 NBA Draft.
Name: Jared Sullinger
Position: Forward
College: Ohio State
Age: 20
HeightWeight: 6-9, 280 pounds
Most recent college stats: 30.4 min, 17.5 pts (51.9 FG, 40.0 3PG, 76.8 FT), 9.2 reb, 1.2 ast, 1.2 stl, 1.1 blk
Accolades: 2011 and 2012 First Team All-American, First Team All-Big 10 Selection, Wooden Award Finalist, 2011 Big Ten Freshman of the Year
Not backing down? Earlier this week, ESPN.com reported Sullinger had been medically flagged by doctors for bulging discs in his back. Stay tuned to CSNNE.com for more on this pick.
What Doc says: "The fact that Jared Sullinger fell to us is just fortunate. Last year, he'd have been a top 5 pick. All year he was a top 10 pick. The fact that he just kept falling to us gives a rebounder, high IQ player, great passer, and a very good shooter from the outside. And it gives us some physical force."

Divers work underwater using breathing equipment on
diving projects that are either inland or close to the
shore (inshore), or at sea (offshore). They use their
diving techniques to reach their place of work, which
could be a corroded pipeline of an oil platform, a film
setting, or the deck of sunken ship.
The nature of a diver's work will depend on their experience and capabilities. Breathing gear changes with the depth of the descent and so do the safety implications. Diving is divided into four main categories:
As well as commercial, scientific, media and archaeological divers, there are also police and military divers. Police divers usually search inland waterways for missing persons or evidence, and military divers may conduct surveys or defuse underwater mines.
Some divers combine teaching with diving and become diving instructors.
Divers generally work long hours depending on the
nature of the work although the amount of time divers
are allowed to spend underwater is strictly controlled.
Many diving jobs offer short-term contract work, so flexibility, and travel, may be required to gain employment.
Working underwater is a high hazard activity and divers must be comfortable with increased pressure at the dive depth. There is generally zero visibility at lower depths and aritifical light must be used. Inland waterways are often dirty if near industrial or urban sites.
Protective clothing and breathing apparatus are worn to survive underwater. Divers may carry their own air tanks, have a line to the surface or use a diving bell. At lower depths it is important to return to the surface slowly to avoid decompression sickness, or 'the bends'. Divers working on some offshore jobs may have to live for up to 28 days in pressure chambers which simulate undersea pressure.
Diving can cause health problems, and divers must pass regular, thorough, medical examinations.
To be a diver you should:
Nearly all divers are self-employed. They are employed in the offshore oil and gas industries, civil engineering and construction, marine and archaeological research, and film, TV and photography. Many of these opportunities are on a short-term contract basis, so you must be flexible and be prepared to travel to look for work. Diving companies tend to be centred around coastal ports and harbours.
Opportunities are available to work overseas, particularly Australia and the Indian Ocean. Qualifications may need to be upgraded to meet the requirements of each country.
As technology improves, more underwater tasks can be carried out by remote-operated vehicles (ROVs), so opportunities for divers are decreasing.

Rolf Wheels got its start back in 1997 when founder Rolf Dietrich partnered with Trek to bring paired-spoke wheels to market. After the license agreement expired in 2001, Dietrich founded Rolf Prima Wheel Systems with three former Trek/Bontrager product engineers. One of those former Trek/Bontrager employees, Brian Roddy, would eventually become Rolf Prima's owner. I spoke with Roddy at this year's Interbike trade show, where we discussed Rolf's wheels, gravel and adventure riding, and what the company has in store for 2016.
GRAVELBIKE: Do you think that disc-equipped gravel and adventure bikes will standardize on 142mm rear spacing?
Rolf Prima: We hand-build everything pretty much to order, so we build fronts as 9 mm, 12 mm, or 15 mm, and rears as 135 mm or 142 mm no problem. That said, the industry will probably coalesce around 12 mm thru-axles front, and 142 mm rear. I think everyone–the industry and customers, alike–really wants the proliferation of standards to slow down and stick so they know that their expensive bikes and components will be replaceable, serviceable, or upgradeable in a few years (instead of becoming obsolete).

In addition to the risks presented by the CBS story here are 5 additional areas where copiers can compromise your security.
1. Storing Network Information: Many digital copiers are also network printers that store network information such as IP addresses, subnet masks and gateway IP's. These settings are not stored on the hard drive and are not cleared by the digital copier "Purge" feature. Network settings must be manually cleared. Security experts will tell you to keep your network configuration private. You don't want competitors or hackers to know your internal network configuration. The more information about your network infrastructure that's accessible to hackers the less they have to figure out on their own and the sooner they can compromise your network.
2. Storing DNS/Domain Information: Many digital copiers store the IP addresses of your DNS servers and/or Domain controllers. Depending on the type and model of your copier, this information may not be cleared by your copier "purge" function. You definitely don't want competitors or hackers knowing the IP addresses of your Name Servers or Domain Controllers.
3. Storing Address Book Information: Many digital copiers store email addresses and some even download your entire Email Global Address List to the copier. Again, you don't want this to be accessible to those outside your company.
4. The Purge Function: The "purge" function used by older digital copy machines doesn't delete any data from the copier hard drive. It only renders the data inaccessible to the copier software. It either deletes a file we techies would call a "file allocation table" or it will use other tactics to render the data unreadable to the copier software. The "Purge" button merely gives an allusion the disk has been cleaned. However, the data is still there and can be removed as shown on the CBS story. Most copier security policies rely on this built-in Purge function and think their data is cleared. It is not cleared. It can still be accessed with free scanning tools available on the internet.
5. Storing Fax Information: If your copier has a fax capability, the copier also stores all the phone numbers it dialed and numbers that dialed it along with any information you provided in your Fax phone book. Again, the "Purge" function will not clear this information.
One of the biggest obstacles surrounding this whole issue of Copier Security is the apathy and ignorance of the Manufacturers. Most copier technicians today still believe the built-in Purge function deletes all information on the copier. To make matters worse, most copier technicians don't know where the different type of information is stored. Some data is stored on the hard drive, some data in flash memory, and some data is stored in firmware. Sensitive information is stored in different places depending on the manufacturer and model of copier. Just when you think it can't get worse. Let me drop the final shoe. There are no utilities that will scan a copier and certify that it has been completely purged for older digital copy machines.
As I mentioned earlier, this CBS news story only scratched the surface of the real risks associated with digital Copier Security. The Copier Security pioneers who were interviewed in the CBS story, Digital Copier Security inc., have done extensive research on these security risks and are working to provide services and resources to help companies thoroughly purge their older copy machines. I applaud Digital Copier Security for bringing this issue to the attention of Corporate America and for working diligently to address this significant security hole.

Brooke Mueller has entered a "long-term, in-patient rehab treatment center".
Charlie Sheen's former wife, who was arrested on suspicion of felony cocaine possession earlier this month, was first rumoured to be considering aggressive measures to combat her substance abuse problems over the weekend.
Mueller's rep Steve Honig has since confirmed to People that Mueller has checked into an unknown facility but released no further information.
"Brooke has decided to remove herself from the media spotlight... [so] she can focus on her recovery without distraction," Honig said in a statement. "Brooke's goal is to maintain her sobriety, and she believes this is the best option to reach that goal."
Mueller will apparently keep custody of her and Sheen's twin sons, Max and Bob, while undergoing treatment.
This is Mueller's second time in rehab this year. She previously attempted an "extreme" plant therapy method in Mexico in July.

The new Manchester United home kit for the upcoming season has been finally officially released by Adidas, once again featuring Chevrolet as sponsor:
"Adidas and Manchester United have launched the club's new home jersey for the 2016/17 season, taking inspiration from the club's early years as Newton Heath LYR Football Club."
This boasts a somewhat more adventurous half-and-half design in two shades of red, inspired by the green and yellow shirts worn by the Red Devils' predecessor club Newton Heath, with the front halves being connected through a hexagon detail.
Meanwhile, the German brand's iconic Three Stripes are positioned on the side of the home shirt, instead of the more traditional position on the shoulders and sleeves, with marquee signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the front and centre in the presentation image above.

Local Crime Reporter Reflects on PTSD
I've been in close contact with more carnage on the streets of Houston than I ever saw in the Army - including my time leading a platoon of soldiers in combat in Iraq.
In more than 15 years covering crime in America's fourth-largest city, I've seen bodies shot to pieces, torn apart in high-speed crashes and charred in house fires. I've been with drowning victims who were pulled from backyard swimming pools and seen bodies discovered only after the decay caused neighbors to call police because of the stench.
Men and woman. Adults and children.
I've been at crime scenes that became international news events, such as the case of Andrea Yates who drowned her five children in the bathtub of her suburban home in June 2001. I've also been there when the victims were little more than a statistic in a homicide report.
I've been asked, more than once, how many dead bodies I've seen. My standard reply is that I stopped counting when it got to "hundreds and hundreds." (Mind you, I'm not talking about a beloved elder relative, lying in peaceful repose in a funeral casket. I'm talking about people who fling themselves off freeway overpasses or corpses left in the woods that became bloated and putrified over several weeks.)
If the person's death was the result of foul play or a motor vehicle crash, I was their witness. Maybe it would only be a couple of lines in the paper but it was important to me, in some sort of cosmic sense, to record their passing. They were here on this earth and I was with them.
At times, a week or more could pass without a homicide on my watch or I could spend the shift dashing from murder to murder to murder.
This "Butcher's Bill" kept adding up over the days and weeks and months and years.
It's not uncommon for people like cops and firefighters (and yes, even reporters) to build walls around themselves to keep the darkness at bay. Sometimes you have to add a second or third layer of stone.
Just over a year ago, it broke through the walls I had erected.

Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Well, thanks for taking your time and reading this. This is my first guide, there's lots of text regarding strategy and gameplay, which may or may not be useful or redundant. I actually don't own Thresh but I've played him a lot during free week, only as an ADC, and found this build to work the best. Anyways just click on the spoilers under which section you're interested in and hopefully you learn something new.
By the way, now that I've finished the walkthrough, I've bought Thresh! Yay! Just because my first comment was "YOU DON'T HAVE THRESH!?!" xD.
Thanks to you readers and Jhoijhoi for helping me write my guide!

We have a group of Jobs that create primary key off of GID. Is GID generated when you create the table? If so, what does GID stand for?

If GID is the column name, you will have to ask the person who created the table. Try db2look or the the Control Center (alter table) to see if the column is a generated indentity column type.M. A. Feldman

Brad Pitt has hinted that he and his long-term partner, Angelina Jolie, may get married in the near future.
The couple, who have six children together, have previously stated that they won't tie the knot themselves until gay marriage is legalised.
However, the Tree of Life actor has now suggested that this may change.
Pitt told USA Weekend magazine:
"The kids ask about marriage, it's meaning more and more to them. So it's something we've got to look at."
Forty-seven-year-old Brad also revealed that he and Angelina try to give their children as much of a normal upbringing as they can:
"Angie and I do everything we can to carve out some semblance of normalcy for them, to recreate the kinds of moments that were special for us.
"It's not unusual for the kids to be covered in paint. We have mud fights. It's chaos from morning until the lights go out."
The pair first got together on the set of their 2005 film Mr & Mrs Smith.
Pitt has been married once before, to former Friends star Jennifer Aniston, while Jolie has been married twice to actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton.

Joe's Bush
- Go north from Highway #3 onto Furnival Road
- Turn left from Furnival Road onto Silver Clay Line
- Joe's Bush is located on the south side of Silver Clay Line
- Look for signage or use the 911 address which is 21597
Mr. Joseph E. Schmid, a retired jeweler and long time Rodney resident, bought this 50 acre parcel of land in 1944. Over the next few years Joe prepared the land for the planting, purchased and planted thousands of trees and spent the majority of his free time taking care of the planted trees. He did this at a time when forests were being logged and taken out for production of farming. In 1986, Mr. Schmid donated the land to the village of Rodney. Thanks to his vision and commitment to conservation, Joe's bush is being enjoyed by nature enthusiasts from across the county.
Joe's Bush is part of the Carolinian Life Zone and has many trees associated with the life zone. Some of the trees that can be found here are tulip tree, sassafras, black walnut, sugar maple, black cherry, butternut and white pine. As well, many types of ferns and wild flowers can be found growing on the forest floor.
A large collection of nesting birds lives throughout the woods. It provides a great home for not only birds, but mammals, insects, amphibians and butterflies as well. There is a small creek that runs through the forest and can be seen from all the trails. The variety of flora found here creates a good living environment for a large variety of wildlife such as white tailed deer, opossum, monarch butterflies, garder snakes and wood frogs.
Joe's Bush has 3 interpretive trails through it. Each one of these trails is equipped with;
- Directional arrows
- Information stations
- Identification plates/signs
- A trail guide
- A common tree guide
These trails were designed to promote public awareness of the area and to increase an appreciation for nature. The property is dominated by vast Carolinian forest habitat. The site also has picnic tables available for day use.

Board Advisory Services
Corporate Governance Audit
Good corporate governance should be an all pervading attribute within an organisation - a key enabler to aid in defensible decision making concerning the affairs of the organisation. Therefore effective implementation and maintenance of good governance facilitates continuous improvement in relation to Strategy, Performance, Compliance and Accountability. Our Corporate Governance Audit covers a comprehensive review of all these areas at Board level and assists with the implementation of international best practice.
Board Performance Reviews
Board evaluations are an essential process used to appraise the valuable contributions by the board of directors to the organisation's success. By assessing the operations of a board, it is provided with a job performance evaluation. Assessments can focus on the work of the board, the contributions of the individual directors, or the board's processes. Similar to job performance evaluations used to assess the performance of the staff of an organisation, evaluations of the work of the board consider both the means and the outcomes of its work. They are a review of the results of the board's set of goals and the processes used to reach them.
Advisory Board Establishment
Advisory committees/boards are usually useful when it comes to capital raising and often can act to widen a network as well as provide valuable insights and expertise that the company may not possess. We assist with the identification of core competency gaps with the Advisory Board and the identification of Advisory Board Members relevant to the needs of the organisation.
Board Papers Template Package
We provide standardised templates that can be modified per the company's requirements. This will include but not be limited to board minutes, roles and responsibilities of directors, board agenda, NED observances, fiduciary duties and obligations, remuneration committee reports, audit committee reports, and so on.
Other Services
• Board Composition Audit
• Board Remuneration Advisory
