Tip From the Archives
Right Ball Flight
The ball keeps flying to the right of your target line.
Work on synchronizing your arm, shoulder, and hip movements while swinging at 85 percent power.
Check your set up position to see if your shoulders are pointing towards your target. If the ball is flying to the right of the target, you might find that your shoulders are pointing left of the target. This is because this set up makes it much easier to come across the ball at impact. Try not to kill the ball. Because another possibility is that your hips are turning through the shot a little faster than your arms and shoulders. That leaves the clubface open a bit. To correct this, you can try to keep your lower body more stable or allow your shoulders and arms to turn down just a little earlier to match the speed of your hips. It might be easier to just slow your hips down slightly to help you swing more in sync with the rest of your body.

Reminds me of a quote from Albert Ellis: "The best years of your life are the ones in which you decide your problems are your own. You do not blame them on your mother, the ecology, or the president. You realize that you control your own destiny."
I agree, any time is too long! If one is talking about a kid who is still in the direct influence of his/her parents, I can see where the issue would be a little more difficult to dismiss; however, we are each responsible for our own happiness. No one is going to make us happy or make our lives good, we have to decide to do it for ourselves. The only way a bad past should have an influence on our present and future is in what it taught us and what strength we were able to glean from the experiences going forward. Yes, my parents had issues and yes, it really screwed up my life while they had control of it...but now I'm an adult, one parent has actively tried to make amends, and those experiences have made it a lot easier for me to relate to a lot of people that I otherwise would not be able to, and helped me grow up a lot faster than I might have otherwise.
Blame accomplishs nothing.
You can hold someone accountable. The word blame holds a negative connotation. So, if there is something that you do not like about yourself - regardless of how you turned out that way, the time to change is now and the person to hold accountable for that change is YOU.
Children sometimes feel themselves 'victim' to how adults have reared them. Once the child is an adult, the responsibility to make whatever corrections are desired is theirs.
Don't spend your life waiting for someone else to correct whatever wrong has been done to you.
You can blame them as long as you like. But it isn't doing you any good. It is only hurting you, and maybe them as well. It doesn't accomplish anything and you will never learn from your mistakes. Unless they directed every move you have ever made, it isn't them.
Knew a woman whose kid wanted to blame his misdeeds on his rotten childhood and his mom. Now, granted, this kid had a rough time of it. But.............
The mom asked him? Do you know the difference between right and wrong?
The son answered Yes.
Mom replied, Then I did my job!
This may be oversimplified but basically it's the truth.
Until you decide to grow up. That means accepting your parents as messed up people who did the best they could with the information they had at the time. They still might have done a terrible job, but the past can't be changed. A big challenge of adulthood is to fix whatever got broken and move on.
And try to do better with your own kids...Even though doing your best still won't be good enough in some way. And your own kids will eventually have to get over blaming you for something you did!
Some hurts are harder to get past than others. However, once you are independent of your parents, it is up to you to change your circumstance in life. Life is constantly moving, why waste your time filled with anger for your parents or anyone else. If you cannot forgive them just move on.
One day is too long. Parents do the best they can and the rest is all up to you. If you don't like your life change. Get a new job, move, go to college. I would rather sell everything I own then to spend my life unhappy.
You should be thankful to your parents. They gave you life.
This question is a general question and doesn't pertain to me at all. The question came about after hearing some people complain about their lives and then they put the blame on their parents for their lack of motivation and failures...which is sad especially after they have reached adulthood. I agree with all of the answers thus far however growing up in a single parent home has made me a strong and determined and complete individual in all aspects of my life.
It is probably too long if you're 75 years-old, laying on your deathbed still bemoaning how your parent's raised you. People carry around so much mental baggage, but this one about how your parents should have raised you better takes up a huge amount of psychic energy and certainly doesn't take into account that your parent might have tried to reach you, but your were not willing to turn you life around.

For every women good shoes are very important and it is famous proverb good shoes always leads you to the good places, so some people are quite fastidious in their shoes or sandals.

Dinner and a show....what could be better? A quilt exhibit, perhaps? Well, how about that! The Lighthouse Quilters of Racine have art quilts on display in the gallery adjacent to the chapel, open before and after the performance. It was interesting to observe the non-quilter concertgoers as they looked at the quilts. Here are some of the quilts. Sorry, I only got two of the quiltmakers' names.
This exquisite applique is by Betty Ekern Suiter, who has received many awards for her hand-quilting. It is hand-appliqued, too, and the label said it took 3,640 hours to stitch.

The label acknowledges this as a Carrie Nelson pattern.
Cindy Garcia's portrait of her grandfather. The blue jeans are real jeans.
That's a piece of molding, not an extension of the quilt. :)

Data from these instruments is used to calculate the average temperatures of different layers of the Earth's atmosphere.[44] [45] * The lowermost layer of the atmosphere, which is called the "lower troposphere," ranges from ground level to about five miles (8 km) high.[46] [47] According to satellite data correlated and adjusted by the National Space Science and Technology Center at the University of Alabama Huntsville, the average temperature of the lower troposphere increased by 0.60ºF (0.33ºC) between the 1980s and 2000s, mostly from 1997 to 2010: * Sources of uncertainty in satellite-derived temperatures involve variations in satellite orbits, variations in measuring instruments, and variations in the calculations used to translate raw data into temperatures.[51] [52] * According to temperature measurements taken near the Earth's surface that are correlated and adjusted by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, the Earth's average temperature warmed by 1.5ºF (0.8ºC) between the 1880s and 2000s, mostly during 1907–19–2014: * According to temperature measurements taken near the Earth's surface that are correlated and adjusted by the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in the U.

Electricity is the flow of electrical power or charge.
Electricity is both a basic part of nature and one of the most widely used forms of energy.
Before electricity became widely available about 100 years ago, candles, whale oil lamps, and kerosene lamps provided light, iceboxes kept food cold, and wood-burning or coal-burning stoves provided heat.
Scientists and inventors have worked to decipher the principles of electricity since the 1600s.Like air and water, people tend to take electricity for granted.But people use electricity to do many jobs every day—from lighting, heating, and cooling homes to powering televisions and computers.It shows a "Medieval warm period" that was warmer than the present era and a "Little Ice Age" that was cooler.The report states that some of the global warming since 1850 could be a recovery from the Little Ice Age rather than a direct result of human activities.So it is important to recognize that natural variations of climate are appreciable and will modulate any future changes induced by man.

Many people ask us: How can I Increase Alexa Rank of my Website or Domain? We understand how important this metric is for you and your business. As a public metric, potential advertisers, investors, and partners will look up your Alexa Rank and use it as a way to evaluate the value of your business. For this reason, improvements in your rank can make a real dollars and cents impact on your bottom line.
For those of you who are new to Alexa or unfamiliar with the Alexa Rank – it is a single metric that provides a quick summary of a site's performance (yours or your competitor's) relative to all other sites on the web. If you aren't focused on it, you may not be doing everything you can to maximize the value and visibility of your business. In all, the authority of your site on the web is translated as your Alexa Rank.
But before we dive into how you can Improve or Increase Alexa Rank of your Website, we should take a step back. It's important to understand the makeup of the Alexa Rank so you understand how you can make it better.
Let's get started.
What is the Alexa Rank?
Your Alexa Rank is an estimate of how popular your site is relative to all other sites. The Alexa Rank answers the question: Compared to all other sites, how is my site doing?
Note that since rank is a relative measure, your site's rank is not only dependent on that site's traffic, but also on changes to traffic on other sites.
How does Alexa get its data?
Alexa has a large traffic data panel consisting of millions of people all over the world. Based on the data from this sample, Alexa estimates the number of visitors to all sites on the Internet.
It's a complicated calculation that involves correcting for biases as well as identifying and discarding fake or spam traffic.
Our data scientists are the best in the business and they make sure the data we present is free of noise and non-human data, so you can make the best decisions for your business.
How is the Alexa Rank calculated?
Every day, Alexa estimates the average daily visitors and pageviews to every site over the past 3 months. The site with the highest combination of visitors and pageviews over the past 3 months is ranked #1.
The site with the least is ranked somewhere around 30 million. If no one in our measurement panel visited a site over the past 3 months there is no rank at all for that site.
How does the number of visitors to a site affect the Alexa Rank?
If you plot the number of visitors to a site versus the rank it looks something like this:
At the head of the graph is Google.com, which gets a huge number of visitors and is ranked #1. The sites at the "head" end of the plot, like Google.com, get a huge amount of traffic compared to the sites on the "long tail" at the other end.
The important thing to notice is that because of the shape of the distribution, a very small change in the number of visitors to a site on the long tail results in a large change in rank.
However, the closer you get to the head of the graph, the more visitors it takes to move up a rank. There's a huge difference in traffic to a site ranked 10 versus a site ranked 200.
Getting a more accurate Alexa rank
To get a more accurate Alexa Rank you can certify your site's metrics on Alexa. Sites with certified metrics have their metrics directly measured by Alexa instead of being estimated based on information from our data panel. Certifying your site's metrics provides a more accurate rank, but not necessarily a better rank!
There are several other benefits of Certified Site Metrics, but a more accurate Alexa Rank is just one of them.
So, How do you get a better Alexa rank?
There are several tactics that will help improve your Alexa Rank:
1. Produce engaging, original content, updated frequently that provides real value to your audience.
Content that strays from this motivation fails to build loyal audiences. When readers find resources valuable and informative, they engage with future content and share among their networks (link building), introducing new visitors that potentially turn into customers. Quality content is also being rewarded by search engines like Google, which is taking steps to get better answers faster for the end user.
First and foremost thing to Increase Alexa Rank is to write quality content. It will help you to improve website traffic and another thing is Google loves quality Content. Good content always strikes high-ranking in SERP's and will help you to increase the amount of traffic on your site.
Alexa rank is directly related to traffic coming to your site, so more traffic you are getting, you have more chances of getting higher rank in Alexa Website rank. Also Alexa have search analytics tab, which shows the traffic your site is getting from search engine, which also improves over the time.
2. Get more related sites to link to your website.
Otherwise known as inbound links, this tactic helps search engines clearly define your niche and also increases the trust and quality of your site. In other words, authoritative inbound links (from sites that are performing well) give your own site credibility. This tactic must be supported by producing engaging, original content, because why lead targeted visitors to your site if they don't want to stay?
Internal links, on the other hand, are links that lead from one page or post on your site to another. These are beneficial because they guide visitors through your website (i.e. website navigation), keeping them engaged with relevant and related content. They also contribute to site links, which are the sub-links that appear in a search engine below your main page link. But again, creating top-notch content goes hand in hand with any internal linking strategy so make sure the content you produce is relevant and of value to your visitors.
In all, both inbound and internal links help search engines understand the content of your site(s) and determine how valuable it is to visitors. But while an important part of your online strategy, you should use linking appropriately. Excessive linking can reduce the credibility or readability of your site and may be penalized by search engines.
3. Find keywords that are driving traffic to your competitors and optimize your site for them, or buy PPC campaigns for those keywords.
By doing a little keyword research you can understand what your audiences are searching for and how. In a way, keyword research is learning to speak your customers' language in the context of their needs and desires.
Inbound Marketing Agents shared a great infographic on the 5 fingers of a keyword placement strategy that will help you pick the right areas on your site to place your target keywords.
4. Understand your competitors' marketing strategy and learn what works.
There are several reasons why analyzing your competition matters, but in a nutshell competitive analytics puts your own site analytics into context. Thus, giving you a clearer understanding of what metrics are important, what strategies are working (for you and your competitors), and allows you to identify and anticipate industry trends.
All of these angles help inform your overall strategy and allow you to make more knowledgeable business decisions that will positively affect your position in the market.
5. Follow SEO best practices on your website.
SEO is a very important strategy that deserves a significant amount of your time and attention. But SEO is not just about improving the promotion and visibility of your website.
It's also about making your site better for your customers who use it to interface with your brand. Without a good user experience you have little hope of keeping or converting your customers.
6. Think outside of the Box, Write guest post:
It's also a great way to increase Alexa rank. Guest post will help you to build back links, having good number of back links will improve Alexa rank and sites linking in number will go high. While writing guest post don't forget the point no.1 quality content.
You can also consider commenting or other methods of build backlinks, which will help you to increase sites linking in stats and gradually it will have positive impact on overall site traffic and Alexa ratings.
7. Put Alexa Rank Widget.
Having a Alexa widget on your blog/website will help you to increase alexa ranking. It will show the current Alexa ranking status of your blog/website .
All you have to do is register your blog/website to alexa.com and paste the code in the source code of your blog. I you are using WordPress then Simply Use this Alexa Rank Widget Plugin.
8. Download Alexa Toolbar.
Back in 1996, when Alexa site went live, Alexa toolbar is the best way for them to monitor the stats of a site. Though, with time it's changed but still when a visitor visit your site from a browser with Alexa toolbar, it helps a lot. None the less, I'm sure you always visit your site 10-20 times a day.
You can consider installing Toolbar in your browser . Alexa toolbar is available for Chrome, Firefox, IE and you can install it within seconds. Here is the official page to download Alexa toolbar.
9. Bonus tip: Alexa review.
Some time back, Alexa added review feature for sites, where you and your readers can give their feedback and rate a site. I'm not sure how it impacts over all Alexa traffic rank, but still good number of positive reviews add into trust factor of your site.
You can encourage your readers to write a review for your site or best way is to send out an Email newsletter to your loyal subscriber and let them know about a place, where they can add testimonial or review of your site.
10. Increase your Social Reach.
If you are a owner of any facebook page then you know about Social Reach, this is also help for increasing Alexa rank. You should have your site linking with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and other social networking site.
By increasing Social Reach, heals in links building and make your site popular. I think you may know about this way Increase Alexa Rank fast by using social network.
11. Write a Post about Alexa.
By writing post about Alexa you will definitely get the visitors which also have installed Alexa toolbar or widget on their blog or website.
12. Increase Organic Traffic.
This is the Best way to Increase Alexa Rank But 75% People Fails to get Organic Traffic. But the Basic Concept of The Organic Traffic is Directly Proportional to SEO and Quality Contents on your Websites.
Some other methods which you can use is buy traffic, which helps in boosting your traffic or may be an active social media promotion like StumbleUpon, Digg can send huge traffic in short span of time. There are many web services which claim to boost alexa stats, but I recommend to stay away from them and keep your ranking genuine and legit. After all, a good & genuine alexa rank will work as ego boost for you and for your site.
There are countless resources for learning about SEO, but Alexa offers a Marketing stack that includes keyword research, competitive intelligence, and web analytics tools as part of Alexa Advanced plan. You'll get specific instructions on how to improve search engine rankings, usability, page performance, back linking, and more.

Watching television with my dad in the 1970s was not easy: "Turn that man off!" he would rant - the demand invariably littered with expletives and comments about what he would like to see happen to 'men like that'.
These were the days before remote controls. Buttons were pushed, both literally and metaphorically.
The men who caused my dad such angst were those he referred to as 'queers', or by more liberal-minded members of my family, as 'the other way'.
Effeminate, camp celebrities such as Larry Grayson, Kenneth Williams and John Inman, who based humour on innuendo and double-entendres such as 'what a gay day!' but who denied their homosexuality, were despised by dad.
For dad and many of his contemporaries, homosexuality was alien – abhorrent and sickening.
His hatred was fuelled by lurid newspaper stories of men who haunted public toilets seeking sexual encounters, only to face arrest, possible imprisonment and to be forever tainted with the offence of gross indecency.
The true stories of older LGBT people are in danger of being lost, having been ignored for many years
Family members proffered frequent advice against going into public toilets and to be wary of men like this, equating their behaviour with that of paedophiles.
Growing up in such a world, where hatred of homosexuality abounded, where gay men were vilified and seen as deviant and predatory, was not the best environment in which to develop a heathy attitude to one's sexuality.
And lesbians were not entirely immune to vitriol and negativity – that's when their ability to have meaningful sexual relationships was acknowledged. The film 'The Killing of Sister George', in the late 1960s, told the story of an alcoholic and predatory female soap star who seduced two nuns in a taxi.
The protagonist was an unhappy character who ended up bitter and alone, because that's what happened to homosexuals.
These were the alternative truths, distortions and lies we were fed.
2017 marks the fiftieth anniversary of the decriminalisation of male homosexuality in England and Wales . Scotland only decriminalised male homosexuality in 1980!
I have spoken to older members of LGBT communities, listening to their stories of growing up in an era when homosexual acts were criminal.
Although homosexuality was decriminalised in 1967, the age of consent for gay men was 21, so any men under 21 having consenting sex could still be charged. Women's sexuality was never recognised in the legislation.
The true stories of older LGBT people are in danger of being lost, having been ignored or misrepresented for years.
Ray, who I spoke to, is a 70-year-old man recently widowed after 40 years of marriage. He repressed his sexuality for all his married life.
He told of his love for his wife and absolute commitment to their relationship. Only after her death did he feel able to acknowledge sexual feelings for other men.
An optimistic and engaging man, Ray expresses no regrets but recognises there were no alternatives other than marrying and settling down. Deeply loyal to his wife's memory and sensitive to the feelings of his family, Ray is discreet about his homosexuality.
It is apparent, though, that Ray is now determined to be honest to himself.
Colin came out to his parents as gay at the age of 15. Horrified, his parents referred him to a psychiatrist and he was subjected to electro-convulsive therapy and aversion therapy (whereby drugs were used to induce vomiting when shown erotic images of other men).
Now in his sixties, Colin blames his anxiety and depression on treatment he received in young adulthood.
Events will take place in Sheffield to celebrate the 50th anniversary of decriminalisation over the weekend of February 24-26, during LGBT history month, to ensure untold true stories are finally heard, with the stories of LGBT people who, in spite of adversity, manage to have fulfilling, happy and meaningful lives and loving relationships.

How Moby is Changing the World One Vegan Concert at a Time
The acclaimed musician and restaurant owner is involved in every aspect of organizing the massive vegan event.
From pop-up dinners to multi-block street fairs, Los Angeles has an array of vegan events. Some of these gatherings include a charitable component, and some feature a local band or DJ, but nothing compares to Circle V. The concert/food event—which takes place November 18 in LA—is curated by vegan musician/Little Pine owner Moby and will benefit animal-rights organization Mercy For Animals. With an impressive lineup of artists, speakers, and chefs (read below for who will be in attendance), Circle V has Moby's influence in nearly every aspect of the event, as he is a major player in the curation of Circle V. With such a large role in Circle V, we decided to ask Moby about his role and what makes this show different from other vegan gatherings.
The founding
Circle V was created through "an intersection of kismet and synchronicity." Two years ago, author Kathy Freston asked him why there were no vegan music festivals—two days later, Mercy For Animals founder Nathan Runkle asked him the same question. These two unrelated promptings were enough to convince Moby to create Circle V.
Moby's touch
Moby's role in Circle V involves much more than making a few calls to his celebrity friends. In fact, the musician helped organize everything from the speakers and musicians to the food and the placement of trash cans. This hands-on approach stems from Moby's desire to constantly work for animals. "It's a full-time job," he said. "I've been vegan for 30 years. Veganism and animal-activism is my life's work. On a daily basis, what I do is figure out how I can be an effective animal-activist. My criteria for judging activism is twofold: is it effective and is it sustainable? If you're yelling, are people paying attention, and can you keep yelling?"
The lineup
Attendees can look forward to savoring food from more than 20 of Los Angeles' top vegan vendors, including Donut Friend, Krimsey's, Sage Vegan Bistro, SunCafe, and Little Pine. With regard to music, Moby secured Waka Flocka Flame, Dreamcar, Raury, and Reggie Watts, in addition to playing his own set. He is proud of the diversity his lineup offers but wishes he could have included more gender diversity. "Scheduling conflicts," he explained. Circle V's entertainment showcases the advances the vegan movement has made recently. "Thirty years ago," Moby said, "there weren't many vegan musicians, and there were hardly any vegan restaurants. Now, everyone from Paul McCartney to Miley Cyrus to all these artists in the hip-hop and punk rock world are vegan. And there's 10 times more vegan restaurants now than there were even in the early 2000s." Those looking for some plant-based inspiration can check out the speaker stage, which will feature vegan celebrities such as Rich Roll, Kat Von D, Kip Anderson, and Bruce Friedrich.
The purpose
Moby believes we can all make a difference, no matter our occupations or social standings. "Everybody has the power and responsibility to spread activism through what they do. Especially with social media, each individual is the media now. I really wish we lived in a world where people could just be lazy and selfish. I wish we lived in a world that wasn't an inch away from environmental collapse, and I wish we lived in a world where 100,000,000,000 animals weren't being killed every year by humans. But we don't live in that world. We live in a world that's kind of a disaster, and I think every person, be they a musician, writer, toll booth operator, UPS employee, etcetera … everybody needs to do all that they can to raise awareness of what's going on and to try to change the world and keep it from falling apart."

The Gift by Pamela Warren
Boston, Mass. — The Gift is a new novel by Pamela Warren, an amateur bluegrass mandolinist who has studied with some of the best mandolinists in the Boston area. The book is dedicated to her teachers, John McGann, Howie Tarnower and Alan Kaufman.
Available for owners of amazon.com's Kindle reader, the book has been selected as part of the Kindle Select Program which makes copies available to borrow for free, or it can be obtained for a $4.99 purchase price.
The Gift is about a young mandolinist from Boston, Maggie Mae Williams, who travels to New Orleans to visit her ex-college roommate. While there, she meets two musicians, Zak Robichaud and Justin Boudreau, who play in a in a Cajun blues/rock band called the Bayou Blasters. Maggie quickly falls in love with Zak, the charismatic lead guitarist. Despite her parent's reservations and a warning from Zak's ex-girlfriend, Maggie moves in with Zak and Justin into their bungalow near Lafayette, Louisiana.
They begin music careers that lead to success beyond their wildest dreams, Maggie with her bluegrass band Little Maggie, and Zak and Justin with the Bayou Blasters. But Maggie and Zak find it difficult to balance the demands of their careers with that of their personal lives. As the pressures of touring start taking their toll, Maggie finds herself increasingly attracted to Justin, the steady and reliable bass player who is able to offer her emotional support when she needs it the most.
The book is also dedicated to the late Dr. Tom Bibey, author of The Mandolin Case and The Acquisition Syndrome. Dr. Bibey encouraged the author to write her bluegrass novel and asked to include him as a minor character in the book. He has a small, but crucial role in saving Maggie's life when she is hit by lightening while performing at a bluegrass festival.
Author Warren told us about the book, "I have played the mandolin, mandola, and the octave mandolin for over twenty years and am fairly obsessed with all things mandolin. Thus the book is heavy on mandolin content, describing instruments, tunes, jams, famous mandolinists, etc. I tried to write a book that I would enjoy reading, so hopefully others will like it too.
"There is an app for the iPad and personal computers for those that don't own a Kindle. I am planning to make the book available for other formats such as the NOOK when my exclusive contract with Kindle runs out. I may make it available in hard copy in the future if it seems like there is a demand," she said.

Here it is in hard copy, just out according to a note I received from the author. Haven't read it myself but has 3 reviews on the Kindle side and all 5-star ratings. There's a sequel out to it as well and I'll be working on a news announcement for it today. That one already in Kindle and soon to be in hard copy as well.

TRAVELLING with strangers on a two-week coach tour is a surreal experience. Coupled with culture shock every two days as you enter a new country, and sustained fatigue, it can become like a dream.
But at some point on a group tour, you bond. And our moment came in a little cavern of a bar somewhere under the old streets of Prague. It turns out, all we needed was absinthe.
Everywhere you turn in Prague is a tower steeped in gothic, and a bar reminiscent of Dracula's lair; it's the perfect place for 26 travellers to have their first big night.
But there's a choice to make on tours such as those organised by Topdeck: you do the day, or you do the night.
Our group, Australian and New Zealand couples and singles in their early 20s, mostly chose daylight hours to have their fun. Being a hotel rather than a hostel tour, it attracts a crowd more focused on quality than quantity.
Paris in the Spring
When my head hits the pillow about midnight after our first day in Paris, I can't recall when I've packed more into any other 24 hours of my life.
There's something satisfying about this, but also a sense that the real city – the one I've glimpsed before – somehow eluded me this time.
Still, Paris in spring from a bike is amazing. How free you feel riding the wrong way up a one-way street with the wind in your hair.
We cycle through blossom-filled parks and past Paris's icons, extracting smiles from the French, who seem to appreciate the chaos of 30 bikers swerving every which way.
Our guide is a hoot: a serious, bearded American student with Ray-Bans and a hoodie who assures us everything will be all right when cars begin beeping us.
The three-hour tour is designed to take in all the city's hotspots, but I find myself enjoying the sunny beer stop in the beautiful Jardin des Tuileries more than the history lessons.
After hours of pedalling, a champagne picnic under the trees adjacent to the Eiffel Tower is like manna from heaven. And the heavens do open for us.
Cold rain confirms that Paris in May experiences three seasons in one day. We're treated to a lightning storm as we feast. The plates and glasses may be plastic but the food is carefully prepared and exceeds everyone's expectations.
Swiss sizzles
There's the same sense of pleasant surprise as our coach travels one of the longest and most beautiful journeys next day, past glistening lakes rising into other-worldly alps.
We marvel at the vista over Switzerland's Lake Lucerne as a cablecar climbs to our accommodation, 1750m above sea level.
The Rigi Hostellerie is the best accommodation on the trip. The view from my balcony over the misty mountains seals the deal, but the cosy bar, open fire, comfy doonas, bath and authentic fondue dinner don't hurt either.
After a two-hour trip on Lake Lucerne, a hearty pork and potato lunch in one of the taverns washed down with Eichof, the local brew and a mind-blowing hot chocolate, is just the ticket.
In Florence, don't call me baby
In less than 24 hours our woolly jumpers are replaced by T-shirts. We are in Italy and 28C heat. Of all the accommodation, my room at the Albergo Arno Bellariva, in Florence, is the strangest: a slightly dilapidated, two-star place where excellent chianti is served in large shot glasses.
I'm shown to a room with a 10m-high ceiling and no windows; I try not to think of it as a cell. But the location's good: a 20-minute walk to the beautiful Ponte Vecchio.
It's easy to get lost in Florence, and that's precisely my aim. While the others set out for the day in groups, I wander alone.
Being blonde, harassment is a concern, but a "Ciao" is all that's needed to respond to friendly greetings on the streets.
I find a small restaurant filled with locals on Via de Servi, away from the main piazza, and order an excellent broccoli pasta.
Do as the Romans do, until you arrive in Venice
In Rome, we make the mistake of eating with other tourists. We emerge ravenous from the Vatican (note: there's no line at midday, when everyone else is at lunch) and spend triple what the locals would at the pizza place across the road.
Rome is a city you love or hate.
I loved its gelato (five flavours, and the best I had – and I had a lot); sitting on the grass at the Colosseum at sunset; St Peter's Basilica (which I found more inspiring than the packed Sistine Chapel); the gorgeous Trevi Fountain; stumbling on ancient ruins around every corner; and the sense that this is the real Italy.
We're in Venice by the next afternoon. The city is warm, hazy and only mildly overrun with tourists and pigeons.
I spend the day buying Venetian glass and discovering possibly the best pizza in all of Italy at the Ristorante al Due Vescovi, 100m from Piazza San Marco.
A gondola ride is costly, but it's worth seeing this sinking city from some of its 150 winding canals.
Leaving Italy, where the majority of our trip has taken place, is sad. Justin, our guide, preps us with his entertaining potted history of the next country, as we pass through fields of poppies between Venice and Austria.
This is the adventure part of our trip: whitewater rafting in cold alpine rivers, skydiving, mountain biking and caving.
Czech mates share a beer or three
As we enter the Czech Republic the next day, the houses change from neat villas to worn-out cement facades – evidence that communism was here recently.
A half-litre of beer at a service station costs $A1, and we're all mildly drunk on arrival in Prague.
With its wired-in balconies, it's not a stretch to imagine the Hotel Dum being used as communist housing. Spookily, a whole family once lived in my hotel room.
Absinthe with thujone – the substance that makes you hallucinate – has been banned elsewhere for years. We're fascinated by the ritual, which involves stirring in lighted sugar and downing it in one.
I'm not sure if it's because our trip is winding up, the effects of Europe's anointed party city, or whether it's the green fairy working her magic.
However, sitting on Prague's beautiful Charles Bridge with a huge hangover, I think I've cracked the group-tour code: forget about sleep.

Record crowds at Greenbelt festival first posted 26 August 2003
CHELMSFORD - first posted 26 August 2003 - 317 words
Greenbelt drew to a close last night after a weekend of quality music, insightful talks and people walking around dressed as nuts.
More than 13,000 people soaked up the sunshine at Cheltenham Racecourse as they revelled in the 30th festival, themed Diving for Pearls.
Last night the Polyphonic Spree and Billy Bragg closed the festival, now in its third consecutive year of year-on-year growth. Numbers this year have been the largest the festival has ever seen at Cheltenham.
"We have had a brilliant time," festival chair Jude Levermore said.
"I don't think we have had a richer, deeper programme for years - the diversity of the line-up means we have had something for everybody."
This weekend festival organisers announced that the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams is to become patron of the festival and that they have also received birthday greetings from Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
"Greenbelt has been a catalyst for prayer and praise," he said.
"Participants prayed for an end to the oppression of apartheid and many supported the boycotts and sanctions we called for.
"We are deeply grateful - the international support for the anti-apartheid movement was a significant factor in winning our freedom."
Yesterday the focus of the festival was on trade justice and the message that Trade Rules are Nuts. Thousands of people watched a carnival procession parade through the site to protest about trade rules. Later organisers staged an unfair football match, with one team playing downhill towards a goal ten times bigger than the other and with a blindfolded goalkeeper.
"It's been yet another fantastic year for Christian Aid," the charity's Katrine Green said.
"We have had lots of people sign up to the trade justice campaign and we have had huge support for the work of the organisation.
"There was a phenomenal response to the carnival - perhaps my own highlight was the 13ft high puppet we had of a man in a suit, representing Western exploitation."
Meanwhile Sunday's communion offering raised some £54,600 - potentially £70,000 once Gift Aid is included - which will be split between Christian Aid and Greenbelt's community grants fund for arts projects.

The California drought has gotten so bad that "for the first time in nearly 40 years, state regulators are telling more than 100 growers and irrigation districts with some of the oldest water rights in California that they have to stop drawing supplies from drought-starved rivers and streams in the Central Valley," Bettina Boxall reports for the Los Angeles Times.
"The curtailment order, issued Friday by the State Water Resources Control Board, has been expected for weeks," Boxall writes. "Earlier this spring, the board halted diversions under some 8,700 junior rights. With snowmelt reduced to a trickle this year, there simply isn't enough water flowing in rivers to meet the demand of all those with even older rights predating 1914."
Many growers "have water in storage that they can continue to use," Boxall writes. "Utilities can keep using flows for hydropower production as long as the water is returned to the rivers. Some growers and ranchers also have groundwater supplies that are unaffected by the order." (Read more)

Drought-plagued California orders some of state's oldest water rights holders to stop pumping water

One year after dropping her record-breaking album and only minutes before wrapping the North American leg of her world tour, Adele has revealed she's planning on having more children.
The 28-year-old pop star shared the exciting news during her sold-out show at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix on Monday, telling her fans she was "off to have a baby" as she walked off stage.
"Give it up for me – I did it!" she told concertgoers. "I'll see you on the other side. I'm going to have another baby!"
RELATED: Adele Freaks Out As Bat Flies Into Concert
Moments after, Adele, who is already a proud parent to four-year-old son Angelo, raised a glass in celebration of her upcoming break with the help of her backing band. "I'm not going to have any because I've got my glorious white wine and I can't drink it because it wreaks havoc with my acid reflux," she admitted.
Upon her return home to the UK, Adele shared a heartwarming photo of Angelo's crafty "welcome back" banner. "Mummy you did it!" the colourful artwork read.
I just finished my 107 shows in 10 months. 100% live every night. I bloody smashed it, even if I do say so myself. You lot have been incredible, every night you've been so beautiful, loving and engaged. My band and my crew you made the whole thing turn. And my beautiful family made it easy for me to do. Big love x
Adele returns to the stage in February when she'll be travelling to Australia for the final leg of her world tour.

Prince Jackson is starting to look – and act – the part of king.
The 19-year-old philanthropist on Monday was snapped in Universal City, California as he was slated to make an appearance on Extra TV at Universal Studios to spread awareness aboutHeal Los Angeles, a charity aimed at combating social plagues such as homelessness, hunger and child abuse.
Michael Jackson's maturing oldest child looked dapper with a Str!ped grey-and-black polo shirt, blue jeans and black sneakers with a wristwatch. The King of Pop's heir rounded out his causal get-up with dark sunglasses.
The Encino, California native, who sported a bit of facial hair on the outing, chatted with Extra host Mario Lopez, telling him that he's enjoying his time attending Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where he's majoring in business.
'I love it, I take very interesting classes, I take very challenging classes; there're pros and cons to both, I think I'm learning a lot,' said Prince.
Asked what song is his favorite from his father's prolific catalog, Prince picked the classics Billy Jean, Thriller and You Are Not Alone. He added: 'I have memories associated with songs.'

A sewing room has been my dream for a long time...but it is a dream no more.
A not so little bird left the nest a month ago and after the initial period of mourning of about 5 seconds the battle was on as to who would get the newly vacated soon to be spare room! Woo hoo I won!!
The room was mine and I took over with much enthusiasm and happiness.
We don't have the largest of homes so it is still a bit of a storage room with things belonging to the two fledglings being kept here. The room isn't huge but it will serve my purpose perfectly.
would you like to have a tour?
the bed was a 3/4 bunk and we have left it as is for now as it provides ample storage under it at the moment.
Hope you have enjoyed the tour.... but is there any craftiness to show?
Of course there is, it's not much but there doesn't seem to have been much enthusiasm or inspiration at the moment. I have some projects on the cards for these holidays and I will be sure to share.
These two toppers made their way to new homes for Christmas.
This gorgeous pin cushion from Robyn, one of the lovely city girls. It is in a vintage salt keeper.
She made it perfectly for me! It has happily joined my pin cushion collection.
I wish I could share the beautiful fragrance from these gardenias from my garden. They only last a short time but they make an impression to last.
Huge hugs to you all

May 23, 2014 -
As many of us prepare to head to Chicago next week for the annual ASCO meeting, here's a quick look at some of the many ways SWOG is well-represented, in a variety of ways, at that event.
To start, 14 SWOG-led studies will be presented, while at least 10 others cover intergroup research to which SWOG investigators made major contributions.
This group of two dozen abstracts features three plenary presentations, one reporting on an ECOG-led trial with significant SWOG input, one a joint analysis of studies by the IBCSG, and one delivering results of the co-led CALGB/SWOG 80405 study, which pitted bevacizumab against cetuximab as an accompaniment to chemotherapy for patients with KRAS wild-type metastatic colorectal cancer.
Also among the two dozen are seven other oral presentations and 14 posters. Oral presentations on SWOG studies include the following:
But this is only a start.
A number of investigators sit on the ASCO Board of Directors or committees involved with the annual meeting. We also have at least 44 of our members contributing to educational sessions or other panels. Here are a few of those sessions being chaired or including discussion by SWOG investigators (in roughly chronological order):
I am truly proud of our members. I realize this list is likely not exhaustive, and I apologize to anyone I left off. I do hope this gives you a picture of our vibrant research organization, contributing mightily to medical science and dedicated to improving the lives of cancer patients. I look forward to seeing many of you in Chicago.

wikiHow to Knit a Cabbage Stitch
Cabbage stitch is a stretchy technique that makes bouncy work with an interesting diagonal line pattern. It works well with thicker yarn and slightly thicker needles. There is no purl version.
1Insert the needle into the back of the stitch, as with knit stitch.
2Where you would normally slip the yarn between the needles from the back of the work, wrap the yarn around the needles once before doing so.
3Pull the yarn through and slip the old stitch off the needle as normal.
Community Q&A
I don't get the wrapping the yarn around the needle part. So you do the knit stitch, then when bringing the string down between the two needles; you wrap it around the front needle? The back needle?wikiHow ContributorSounds like the pattern is asking you to create an extra stitch, so go over and under the needle you used to put your last stitch.

Newcastle and Contract Heat fined £30,000 over Byker ash saga
Newcastle City Council and incinerator operator Contract Heat & Power have been fined a total of £30,000 for their roles in the Byker ash saga, which involved the spreading of dioxin-laden incinerator ash on allotments in Newcastle. Residents remain angry that a series of other charges were dropped by the Environment Agency, and that the results of an internal investigation into the Agency's oversight of the plant could remain under wraps.

Hi guys,
Any idea on whether FXAA will be implemented? It provides a good quality image akin to 4xMSAA with barely any performance hit.
The existing BETA AA in APB:R results in some graphic problems - like glowing character outlines.
I found this FXAA implementation for DX9/10/11 titles (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?273794-Enable-FXAA-in-Dx9-Dx10-and-Dx11-Games-Now-by-some-dude!-Version-9)
I want to try it in APB: Reloaded.
Will I get banned for using this tool? I would prefer a dev to reply to this.

Having to start the coming week after the MXoN victory was definitely a high note &a plus. Went into work (Buell) on Monday feeling great. No worries. In fact one of the engine suppliers techs was flying into to Milwaukee to test with us for the week.Had the dyno & track ready for us as we'd roll through it. I couldn't wait. You see, I was hired, brought into help the Buell Motorcycle Co. attempt to build an "American Offroad Bike." I was brought in bythe company namesake, Erik Buell himself. In fact when he called me up afterleaving YOT, I didn't believe it was really him. I thought it was a buddy playing ajoke on me. It wasn't. It was real & I took it very serious. Few, if any, ever get this chance, the chance to make history. Failure wasn't an option for me.I even coined the phrase for the many engineers there I interacted with as "theend user." We're all end users really. Even RC, James, & Mitch Payton. Allend users, & that's fine. I've been on some of the best teams in the history ofAmerican motocross, but even at the factory level, your still largely just an "enduser", but with better connections so to speak to get what & where you want.So to the Harley/Buell organization I say thank you for the huge opportunityyou instilled in me. Though many times I felt like giving up, the team effort &many of my team kept me going strong. During this project, still living in So.Calif. & commuting to Wisconsin was tough. Since January I've been homeless than I've been back there at Buell. At times even my dogs thought I was a stranger at first. So thanks to my family, who's always behind me. Thanks tomy team, the cast & crew I worked with daily. Through the good & bad, I'll missyou guys. So hence "opportunity lost". We would have made history. Now I'mhome, time to move on. Once again, to all the Buell people, thanks. Thepleasure was mine & maybe we'll cross paths again. Also, a huge thank youto Live Nation & to the NPG for all your help in helping me to show my guys,my team, SX & MX at its best as we went to many races. To all my buds on themany teams out there that took the time to talk to my guys, & the several brandsI tried to bring into the fold of our project, I appreciate all your time & help. So you see my, "Opportunity lost". See you at the races.

Primary tabs
I'm tired of reading non-fiction books and forgetting the contents in a week, or watching a crashcourse world history video and not remembering anything in 10 minutes. I want to use memory palaces, a memory city really, to store information on every subject I'm interested in. Have already started off by placing 10-15 great memory palace tips (from this very forum, in fact) in a memory palace based on the local library. I would like to create a truly enormous memory palace (agreed, it will take time to build). Biggest challenge would be memorising amazing little pieces of prose that I admire. Also want to store music, trivia, all the subjects I'm interested in, news from everyday of the year, language vocab, weekly to-dos and so on. Aside from simply collecting info I like, I am also preparing for a few competitive exams.
"…because nerds like us are allowed to be unironically enthusiastic about stuff… Nerds are allowed to love stuff, like jump-up-and-down-in-the-chair-can't-control-yourself love it. Hank, when people call people nerds, mostly what they're saying is 'you like stuff.' Which is just not a good insult at all. Like, 'you are too enthusiastic about the miracle of human consciousness'."

Thorn: Hollow Victories
Welcome to E3. I want to get right to the point with exciting new projects, so enjoy this trailer.
Click here for music!
The trailer begins with a view of a dusty planet, covered in deserts and clouds, quickly identified as Savetel. A strange ship appears in orbit, before quickly turning itself towards the planet and rushing downwards.
On the surface, a gloved hand puts a CD into an old, broken down dune buggy and presses play. Briefly humming along, the camera pans up to reveal a blue-haired woman, dressed in a jumpsuit and a sleek leather jacket. Her hands grasp the wheel and the buggy quickly goes barrelling forward.
As the ship continues its descent, the woman in the dune buggy spots a small town on the horizon, and nudges someone in the passenger seat while smiling devilishly. The trailer cuts back to the ship, revealing its pilot to be Thorn, before returning to the surface of Savetel to show that the mysterious passenger is Rose, who emptily stares at the town.
Thorn's ship, now but a blur in the sky, crashes into the town, with Thorn stepping out and grabbing two knives. Rose and the driver quickly arrive, jumping out of the dune buggy. Thorn looks at Rose, who avoids eye contact, before the blue-haired woman removes a glove, revealing a cybernetic hand. The trailer ends with Thorn preparing to fight as the mysterious woman charges at her maniacally.
Thorn: Hollow Victories will be a 16-chapter weekly story debuting this November. Stay tuned for more information through summer and early fall.
Continuing onward, I'm proud to finally announce Yggdrasil, an IP I've been building since the start of 2015. It's definitely an odd idea, but I feel like it's also definitely something people should give a shot!
Yggdrasil is a 2D platformer and beat em' up, with cooking elements as a side game. Players control a young woman named Syzele, a huntress who wishes to receive a blessing for her crumbling village, through the world of Milli Heima, home to one of the nine Yggdrasil trees. Utilizing a variety of weaponry such as giant butcher knives, fork javelins, and kettle bombs, Syzele can defeat mighty beasts and use them as ingredients in feasts worthy of gods!Yggdrasil will begin production in July, and to answer questions about this game, I'll be holding a Q&A session tonight at 6pm CST, over on Lapis Wiki! Stop by for juicy tidbits and further details!

Handcrafted from an antique wax seal dating from early 1800 England, this wax seal charm features a phoenix charm symbol of power, strength, renewal and rebirth.
According to the Greek historian, Herodotus, the phoenix was a mythical bird from Ethiopia. It was spectacularly large, beautiful and adorned with mind-blowing plumage. The phoenix made a nest of cypress branches, but rather than preparing to lay eggs, the phoenix was preparing to die. While sitting in the nest, the bird created a great deal of heat, and set itself on fire. After three days, the phoenix emerged from its own ashes - reborn and released from the sentence of death, able to live on forever.
The fine silver charm is approximately 1¼" round and hangs from a sterling silver short-long cable chain with a lobster clasp closure. The entire necklace measures 18" long.
Handcrafted in my studio in Spokane, Washington, each symbolic wax seal item from The Silver Acorn is hand-stamped in reclaimed fine silver or bronze and will be slightly different and uniquely yours.

Thriving Fest Biz Strengthens Touring Draw
By Marc Maes
Britain's summer festival circuit had a bumpy ride this year (Billboard, July 19), but just across the English Channel, it was smooth sailing in one of Europe's unlikely live music hotbeds-Belgium.
The small country has a population of just 10.4 million yet supports around 10 major summer fests, comparable to the United Kingdom (population 61 million).
Live music insiders say value-for-money pricing backed by promoters' attention to building infrastructure and relationships with international agents paid off this year, making 2008 the best year yet for Belgian fests.
The summer's trendsetter was metal event Graspop in Dessel (June 27-29) with headliners Judas Priest, Kiss and Iron Maiden, which reported attendance up 35% from 2007 to a daily average of 45,000. Elsewhere, attendance at Pukkelpop in Hasselt (Aug. 14-16) rose 17%, with 50,600 attendees per day shelling out for Metallica, the Killers and the Flaming Lips.
"We've been able to boost our attendance year after year," Graspop organizer Peter Van Geel says. Alongside attractive programming and well-equipped camping facilities, he says, "Free public transport and keen ticket rates seem attractive to foreign festivalgoers."
"Belgian festivals come out cheap" for customers, Pukkelpop organizer Chokri Mahassine says. Pukkelpop's three-day advance ticket-including free travel from any Belgian station-cost €135 ($198) this year and similar Graspop tickets cost €130 ($190.60). In comparison, the United Kingdom's Glastonbury and Reading…

IN our last three elections, the SNP has emerged as the largest party in Scotland.
We've been the first party to form the Scottish Government over three parliamentary terms, broken the mould of Westminster politics by winning 56 out of 59 first past the post seats in Scotland, and last Thursday we increased our number of local councillors across the country, becoming the largest party in 16 councils, including our historic victories in the former Labour bastions of Glasgow and North Lanarkshire.
With a General Election four weeks away, we now have another opportunity to make history. For the past few elections the main contest here has been between the SNP and the Labour Party. Now voters face a new, but simple choice about who they wish to represent Scotland at Westminster: Scotland's national party, or Theresa May's Tories.
It's fair to say that throughout the council election campaign large parts of the Scottish media gave the Tories a free ride. While the SNP emerged as the largest party, talking to voters about education, social care and other vital local services, the Tory's campaign wasn't really put under the microscope.
Now we've seen the election of an oddball group of former BNP members, Ukip supporters and sexually explicit Twitter trolls under the Tory banner, based on nothing more than their single election slogan: to thwart the democratic will of the Scottish Parliament.
Over the next 29 days, we must make the positive, progressive case for SNP voices at Westminster. As I walked down Auchterarder High Street with Nicola Sturgeon yesterday afternoon, we were there to remind voters of the sheer hard work and determination shown by SNP MPs over the past two years to make Scotland's voice heard, and what we've done to stand up for pensioners, working families and businesses here, in each and every single thing that we do on your behalf.
But we also have a responsibility to set out the choice that voters in Scotland must now make. Who will best represent the interests of you, your family and your community at Westminster for the next five years? Will you put your trust in an SNP candidate who would continue to fight the introduction of disgusting and disgraceful polices like cuts to benefits for disabled people, the rape clause or two-child cap, or a Tory MP who would actively and enthusiastically support them?
Will you give your vote to the SNP, who will continue to fight for a fair Brexit deal for Scotland and our economy, or a Tory MP who would feebly roll over and accept the dangerous right-wing agenda of the Brexiteers whatever the economic or social costs?
Will you walk once again into your local Polling Station and place a cross in the box next to your local SNP candidate, safe in the knowledge that they will pledge to protect the triple lock on pensions and seek a fair deal for the WASPI women, or a Tory candidate who will sell our pensioners down the river on Theresa May's say-so?
Everyone knows that the SNP have proven to be the only real opposition in parliament to Theresa May's government over the past year. Time and time again it's only the SNP who have held the Tories to account over the renewal of Trident, the protection of tax credits for working families and the attack on ambition by raising National Insurance for the self-employed.
The damage that the Tories have done to families and businesses in Scotland over the past seven years has been significant and substantial. With a tiny majority, they've attacked the poor and vulnerable under the banner of austerity, and harmed the long-term interests of our economy in pursuit of Nigel Farage's vision of our future.
Imagine what an unfettered disaster it would be if Theresa May could continue this downward spiral with an increased majority unchecked by any effective opposition? It's a terrifying thought, and should send a shiver down the spine of any social democrat.
Unlike our own First Minister, Theresa May doesn't want to talk about her record in government, or her plans for the future. She's not willing to debate on TV or in public, and is only comfortable preaching to the Tory faithful in secret meetings in remote village halls.
We've all seen for ourselves that when their own regressive policies are reflected back at her supporters in Scotland they just pack up and go home.
In sharp contrast, I'm proud of my own hard work, and the SNP's record in standing up for Scotland. Over the 29 days to come I'll be doing everything I can to highlight this contrast to voters, and to open this new chapter of Scotland's political history on an optimistic note.

How do I install the 26-334?
A home owner from cleveland, oh says:

I bought item# 26-334, Top Tilt Latch set for a Spectus window. I need to know how to install it.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
May 22, 2013
Thank you for posting. Some manufacturers have it where you can slide the internal piece from the side of sash and snap the finger lever from the top. However, some require you to remove the top cap of sash. Keep in mind that when you remove the top cap, you might have to also remove the window lock.

Technological advancements have been witnessed all over the world. As a result, several improvements have taken place. Most of these are positive and close to all industries have been affected. The education sector is one that has benefited greatly from these changes. Gone are the days when one had to physically be present in a class so as to earn a degree. Most colleges and universities have embraced this positively and are now offering online degree courses to interested persons.
What Social services Entail
Social services have been in very high demand from time immemorial. This has to do with helping the sick, the aged or those in need. It is provided by different religious groups, humanitarian and voluntary welfare organizations. These need qualified personnel to offer these professional services to their clients. In today's world for instance, state intervention in social welfare is common practice. As a result most of the countries will have at least one department or ministry to take care of these programs.
For someone that is interested in working in such a field, then an online social work degree would be the place to begin. The social work profession has kept pace with the modern world. As a result, trained social workers are in a position of working in any setup from probation services, public assistance, child and family welfare services to prisons and rural development. This is a profession in which employment is growing and expected to grow faster than the average jobs. Its job prospects are quite favorable and numerous.
Requirements for social work jobs
Some of the social work positions require one to have a bachelor's degree or a master's degree. This is made possible by the online social work degree. The entry requirements for the course may vary but in general they include a minimum of at least sixty four level credits with all the prerequisite coursework completed. The four year course is an undergraduate program while the two years course is a master's degree. Most of the accredited programs offer the enrolling students with several advantages. Online classes offer the students much flexibility because they do not have to physically be in class to earn the degree.
They can instead make the coursework fit within their schedule. All that they require is an internet connection and they can study from anywhere in the world. This has also opened up opportunities for interested students to study from their preferred colleges that are in other countries. In the past, this was quite expensive because they had to raise money for air fare, accommodation and up keep in these countries. In todays advanced world, an online social work degree is only a click away. They would only need to invest in a good computer with a reliable internet connection.
What the Online Social work degree caters for
The online social work degree caters for different interests. This has to do with Individualized instruction and a variety of courses that enables the student to develop a program which fits their main interests in social work. This could be working with children, the sick, the elderly, those struggling with addictions or counseling victims of natural and or man-made disasters.
The most benefit of these advantages to the students is the cost.
The online social work degree is very affordable unlike what the classroom based degree will cost. Graduates more especially those with a master's degree have the potential to not only work in this field but also be educators, researchers , therapists, community organizers, managers among others. Their salary is also quite competitive and attractive as people begin to appreciate the
importance of this career opportunity in today's world.
For someone that is naturally adept to helping others, an online social work degree is an excellent career choice. It is also the perfect opportunity to give back to humanity, life and the community at large. It has often been said that if you choose a career that is in line with you love to do, you will never have to struggle with going to work. Instead you will look forward to having an opportunity to
practice that which you love to do. Studying it online makes it much easier, fun and affordable to making this dream a reality.

I located the following error message in the /sqllib/db2dump/db2diag.log file:
"liboops.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory"
liboops.so (& other MF Program library files & archives) is in directory
The whole problem was resolved by creating symbolic links from /usr/lib to /opt/lib/cobol/coblib for all .a and .so files in opt/lib/cobol/coblib, but given I think I have all the correct environment variables set - to point to the correct shared libraries - what else needs to be done so that the symbolic links don't have to be created?
Environment variables that are set:

GILMER (TYLER MORNING TELEGRAPH) — Trustees of the Gilmer Independent School District on Monday night approved retaining the current tax rate of $1.185 cents per $100 valuation, and also called a special Sept. 14 election on changing the way tax rate revenue is spent — a move aimed at increasing Gilmer ISD's state aid by $205,000.
The tax rate for the 2013-14 year will be $1.185 whether the election proposal passes or not. The election will be on increasing the part of the tax rate used for maintenance and operation (M&O) from the current $1.04 to $1.17, which would result in lowering the part used for debt service from the current 14.5 cents to 1.5 cents.
By raising the M&O portion of the rate 13 cents, the school can collect $205,239 more in state aid despite lowering the debt service part of the rate by 13 cents, according to Superintendent Rick Albritton. The "tax swap" would give Gilmer ISD a total of $8,364,156 in state funding, he said.
Overall, he noted, "we've survived seven years without a tax increase, and we're fixing to survive two more years without a tax increase."
Albritton also presented the board Monday night with his first draft of a proposed 2013-14 budget for $18,278,226. It would provide a two percent cost-of-living raise for employees, which would be about $850 for teachers, he said.
The superintendent said he hoped that would cover teachers' increased cost for health insurance of about $75 monthly. He also said the total cost of raises to school workers, including teachers and others, would total about $300,000
The current 2012-13 budget as originally adopted was $17,868,193, Albritton said, but has surged to about $19 million because of improvements to Buckeye Stadium and borrowing $500,000 to purchase buses.

INDEPENDENCE — A Grayson County Circuit Court grand jury, meeting in special session Aug. 8, returned additional indictments against Frederick Phillip Hammer of Crumpler, N.C., in connection with the alleged murder and robbery of three men at a Grayson tree farm earlier this year.
An indictment is a formal charge, not a finding of guilt.
Ronald Hudler of Mouth of Wilson; his son, Frederick Hudler; and a farm hand, John Steven Miller Jr.; were shot to death on Jan. 24.
ROANOKE — Four men pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia to charges related to a drug distribution organization in the area of Galax known as "The Hill."
Those pleading guilty included Danny Lee Peoples, 38; Tommy Lamont Jones, 33; and Cory Vernice Robinson, 39; all of Galax; and Shawn Dewayne Randle, 36, of Winston Salem, N.C.
"I am pleased that these four men have accepted responsibility for their actions and will be punished accordingly," Acting United States Attorney Julia C. Dudley said.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll officials and Mayberry Opry developers crafted a timeline to accept proposals on the possible sale of 91 acres of county-owned land with, but a citizen told the supervisors Monday that they should just send that group packing instead.
Carroll officials believe they can make a decision about whether — and to whom — to sell parcel of land for economic development purposes near the Interstate 77-U.S. 58 interchange by April, after marketing the property more.
A judge who hears cases in Grayson and Carroll counties pleaded guilty Friday to a hit-and-run charge fewer than three months after he pleaded guilty to a reckless driving charge stemming from a separate incident.

FRIES — Grayson County Relay for Life raised more than $50,000 — falling short of its goal of $60,000.
But, one of the organizers, Jane Roberts, said money was still coming in and expected that number to rise even further.
This was the fifth year Grayson County has held its own relay and opened events Aug. 1 with the Survivor's Lap followed by opening statements from Event Chairperson Judy Porter.
Porter said all too often people whisper the word cancer or simply refer to it as the "Big C."
Galax City Council members, US Cellular representatives and city residents argued the health effects of placing a cell tower in a residential area on City View Drive, before Galax City Council approved the idea on Monday with a 4-3 vote.
Council also approved placing a 150-foot US Cellular tower on the Galax Police Department's firing range off Glendale Road.
