The Budgeting Calculator takes into account both earnings and benefit income alongside expenditure. The tool provides individual advice on where savings might be made, and helps to plan immediate action.
Budgeting support generally has low take-up and existing tools are difficult to use. Policy in Practice worked with Oxford City Council to develop a fast and engaging approach to budgeting support.
You can watch a video demonstration of the calculator below:
James Pickering, Welfare Reform Manager, Oxford City Council
"Policy in Practice has helped Oxford to develop a budgeting tool that helps our advisors to have better, outcome-focused conversations with our residents. They have made DHP applications more effective, as well as more efficient, reducing the dependence of our residents on discretionary housing payments."

How it all started:
This summer, I am interning for Intern Queen Inc., a company that works to help individuals land the internships of their dreams by connecting students and employers all around the world. Ironic as it is, I am the Intern Queen's intern (the "Intern Princess," if you will). One of the amazing projects I got to help with this summer was planning and coordinating the very first Intern Queen Party. The Intern Queen Party was an event designed to celebrate the end of summer internship season and to allow students and professionals to meet and network. The event, if you couldn't guess, took place in New York City. After much debate, I decided to take a hiatus from Athens, Ohio to travel to NYC and help with the big party. (Who am I kidding? I was DYING to go and would have walked there if it came down to it.)
En route:
My flights were safe, short and mostly on time. On my journey, I met football players from New Orleans, a funeral home owner from New York, a frat boy from Chicago University and two moms who chatted way too much about their daughters' allergies and flat feet. Overall, it was a pretty typical air travel adventure. By the way, does anyone else enjoy the sport of airport people watching as much as I do?
The hotel:
I stayed in the Gershwin Hotel, an adorable boutique hotel near Madison and Fifth. I would describe the hotel as funky, modern and fun.
|Even the hallways were picture-worthy
I enjoyed pretending like this hotel room was my personal city apartment. I wonder if it misses me as much as I miss it.
|Modern wall art
|More modern wall art
|A bed fit for a king -- or an Intern Princess
Before the party:
I landed in NYC with only a few hours to spare before the Intern Queen Party. And in those few hours, I had a meeting to attend on Broadway Ave. I quickly settled my things in the hotel room and headed out to take on the Big City. I walked leisurely at first, admiring every tourist trap along the way. Then, I realized I only had 15 minutes to make it to the meeting, and I began to bolt down Broadway. I did not realize that streets in this city stretch for miles. In retrospect, I probably should have taken a taxi. But the bright side is that walking at an alarmingly fast pace was good exercise, and it allowed me to act like a hasty New Yorker -- something I have always wanted to be. I arrived at the meeting headquarters just in time and was united there with Mike and Sarah, two other Intern Queen summer interns. This was our first in-person meeting. I know what you are thinking, "How is that possible?" Well, we are all virtual interns; we work from our separate locations and communicate via Skype, phone and email. Finally seeing them in real life, as opposed to on the computer screen, was wonderful. We are a proud little Intern Queen family. A little later, I was able to meet my boss, Lauren Berger a.k.a THE Intern Queen -- The family reunion was complete. After the meeting, Mike, Sarah and I made our way straight to the party venue.
The party:
The party took place at the 404 Restaurant on 10th Ave. @ 33rd St.
I helped with set-up for only a short while before guests began to arrive hours before the start time. (What happened to fashionably late, people?) The party was complete with a red carpet; a DJ; a signature "Intern Queen-tini" drink; and a "rockstar" panel of internship coordinators from some seriously impressive companies like Us Weekly, CBS, Marvel, McGraw-Hill, College Humor, Oscar de la Renta, Teen Vogue, and BWR PR.
|On the red carpet with Lauren
The guests rolled in . . . and rolled in . . . and then kept rolling in.
|Enjoying the party with Catherine
|The Intern Queen & her interns
|The "rockstar" panel
We estimated that around 850 people attended the party. Not bad, considering we originally thought we would hit a max of 200 guests. At the party, attendees networked, danced and simply enjoyed themselves. For ambitious college students, this was the party of the century.
Madison Square Park & Fifth Avenue:
The day after the party, I checked out of my hotel and took on the city once more. I first enjoyed the scenic setting of Madison Square Park.
I envision myself enjoying many sunny afternoons in this very location when I live in NYC on a more permanent basis.
Next, I headed to Fifth Avenue. I strutted the shopping haven like a true New Yorker and channeled Julia Robert's character in Pretty Woman as I acted like I belonged in every high class shop along the way. I spent a good portion of my time in H&M and Urban Outfitters, the stores that best fit my style (and budget).

Later, I enjoyed some delicious frozen yogurt from Red Mango as I stared out at the glorious Manhattan scenery.
It was a perfect day.
That evening:
That evening, I met up with my friend Catherine at Hearst Towers. Catherine attends Ohio University with me and is interning for Marie Claire this summer. She is a major inspiration and a huge role model. From the towers, we lugged my luggage through the subway (not very fun) and made our way to her summer dorm on NYU's campus. After we got rid of my baggage (literally, not figuratively), we met up with our friend and former classmate, Grace, for dinner at a cute Mediterranean (and vegetarian-friendly) restaurant called Bite. It was delicious, absolutely delicious. Later, we headed to Sweet Revenge, a cupcake eatery and wine & beer drinkery in Greenwich Village. There, we met with a few other interns from the city and enjoyed some tasty desserts. It was the sweetest revenge I have ever had.
|My "Pure" cupcake
|Enjoying our sweet, Sweet Revenge
Next, we spent more than a few miserable minutes trying to hail a cab in the pouring rain. Once a driver finally took mercy on us and stopped, we headed back to Catherine's dorm for a few hours of shuteye.
They say the city never sleeps, but this girl was exhausted.
The morning after:
Catherine and I awoke the next morning and were out of the dorms by 7 a.m. We made our way to SoHo, where Williamson PR, Catherine's other internship office (yes, the girl has TWO internships this summer), is located. Before Catherine headed to work, we grabbed some breakfast and, of course, some much needed coffee. We debated for hours (OK, minutes) over from which of two places we would get our morning meals. Finally, we made a decision -- and then found out that the restaurant we had chosen did not open for several hours. So, we walked instead to convenient Cafe Duke, where we ate and chatted as our coffees slowly turned us into functioning, pleasant humans.
I spent the rest of the day admiring and shopping in SoHo. I could have spent seventeen days exploring that area.
Needless to say, my last few hours in New York City sped by a little too quickly. At around 3 p.m., it was time for me to depart from the city. Reluctantly, I said my goodbyes and grabbed a cab back to the airport.
That, in a nutshell, is my first (and not last) trip to NYC.
Now, I can officially say it: I love New York!

'In the midnight hour, when the moon shines bright, from the witches' coven we raise from hell to fight', that's how the titletrack starts off, together with a hellish and catchy guitar riff straight from the good old days of NWOBHM, and just as dirty as when the darker and occult oriented bands started to stir up the scene with their satanic scenarios. This isn't a band from back then though, nor some of the old pieces of beaten meat from back then, that have gathered in a new entity to spew forth some raw thrashy darkened Speed Metal with a good deal of rawness, no the band is made out of four rather young Germans by the names of Impaler, Satanscythe, Witchnailer and Menace and a common interest in energetic and intense Metal with a punkish Black Metal touch and the mighty VENOM…
…The four original tunes and the cover of VENOM's 'Witching Hour' are delivered with passion and intensity, one gets caught in the mosh right away, and the body rocks along the music, always a very good sign. There isn't much originality about this, but damn it's well made and delivered as thought, and the gods of Newcastle would without a doubt welcome BURSTIN OUT to hell and let them join the ranks for the war with satan in the name of Black Metal. A blackened thrashy and speedy update of the old VENOM sound and effort, done in the right manner and straight out without much more than effective and memorable riffing, pounding rhythm patterns, a punishing bass and a raw and wicked vocal effort that rips, a very well done and intense EP that I've enjoyed quite a lot, now I just need a way to figure out how to get my hands on the demo tape. – (Peter Jørgensen / Voices Fomr the Darkside)

Verrucous carcinoma is a relatively uncommon, locally aggressive, clinically exophytic, low-grade, slow-growing, well-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma with minimal metastatic potential.
Verrucous carcinoma may involve the oral cavity, larynx, anogenital region, plantar surface of the foot, and, less commonly, other cutaneous sites. See the image below.
In 1948, Ackerman first described verrucous carcinoma in the oral cavity as a low-grade tumor that generally is considered a clinicopathologic variant of squamous cell carcinoma. [1] Aird et al first described cutaneous verrucous carcinoma (carcinoma cuniculatum) in 1954, and it was named as such because of its characteristic cryptlike spaces on histology. [2]
The pathogenesis of verrucous carcinoma is not yet fully elucidated. [3] Leading theories include human papillomavirus (HPV) infection (oral cavity, anogenital region, plantar foot, and a small subset of cutaneous verrucous carcinoma), [4] chemical carcinogenesis induced by smoking and chewing tobacco, [5] alcohol consumption and betel nut chewing (oral lesions), and chronic inflammation. Schistosomiasis is associated with verrucous carcinoma of the bladder. [6]
The incidence of verrucous carcinoma in the United States and worldwide is unknown. [7]
Verrucous carcinoma is reported predominantly in whites.
Verrucous carcinoma primarily affects men.
Verrucous carcinoma generally occurs in middle-aged (50s) patients [7] ; however, the anogenital type of verrucous carcinoma has been reported to develop in men aged 18-86 years. [8]
Overall, patients with verrucous carcinoma have a favorable prognosis, although the course of verrucous carcinoma lesions is characterized by slow, continuous, local growth. Morbidity results from local skin and soft-tissue destruction and, occasionally, from perineural, muscle, and even bone invasion. The development of distant metastases is rare. Verrucous carcinoma mortality usually is due to local invasion rather than metastatic spread.
In most cases of verrucous carcinomas, regardless of the variant, the clinical outcome is rarely an aggressive course. Local verrucous carcinoma recurrence following definitive treatment is not uncommon. Regarding oral verrucous carcinoma, the reported recurrence rate ranges from 6-40%. If metastasis does occur, it is mainly at the regional lymph nodes. [9] There have been reports of metastases in distant sites, but this is considered rare. In long-standing lesions, occasional destruction of adjustment structures such as cartilage, tendons, and bones can occur. Patients with oral verrucous carcinoma may be at an increased risk of a second primary oral squamous cell carcinoma, which carries a poor prognosis.
Patient Education
Advise patients about the importance of receiving effective treatment for areas of chronic skin inflammation or trauma (eg, leg or decubitus ulcers) to prevent these problems from developing malignancies within them. Improved oral, genital, and perianal hygiene may help to prevent inflammatory conditions that predispose patients to verrucous carcinoma. Cessation of chewing tobacco use may help to prevent oral verrucous carcinoma.
For patient education resources, see the Cancer and Tumors Center and Warts Center, as well as Skin Cancer, Warts, and Skin Biopsy.

Hello, and welcome to the Frank Turner Minute
Touring the UK, Europe, the States, China and wherever else wants him has taken up the majority of Frank Turner's time this year. The Winchester-born singer/songwriter never stops. Even when he's got time to rest, he's still busy doing covers, helping charities and recording a new EP. Rock & Roll – Frank's new five-track stopgap – doesn't come out until December, but here's a taste of what's to come.
Debuted sometime this year, 'I Still Believe' is Frank's homage to his heroes. Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis and Johnny Cash all get a mention in this catchy new single. In true Turner fashion it's a real crowd pleaser. Even before release swathes of people were singing the words back to him (good old YouTube), so I can only imagine what'll happen now. This track will feature alongside 'Pass It Along', 'Rock & Roll Romance' and others on the new EP, as well as being included on his new album.
Watch the video, watch it again and then buy it off iTunes.
Rock & Roll is released on December 6th on Xtra Mile Recordings and Epitaph Records. Pre-order your copy here.

Geothermal energy pumps are slowly gaining place in homes, especially as the government supports their installation with a generous federal tax incentive. As the technology has developed, the efficiency rating of the available systems has increased immensely. At this time, there are not very many companies producing heat pumps, and so competition is not as intense as it could be. Nevertheless, some excellent quality products are available. This page provides links to reviews of some of the better systems.
For those that live in apartments, or choose not to go through the disruption of installing a geothermal heat pump, I am including links to some of the better air source heat pumps as well.
Please note: It is sometimes (but not always!) possible to get these products a bit cheaper through Amazon.com. The links on this page are to a supplier that includes excellent after sale service, with guarantees on deliveries, repairs and replacements. If you are going to put out the money for an expensive product like this, make sure that you get the support that you need after purchase!
Air Source Heat Pump Reviews
Air source heat pumps are not as efficient for heating as ground source heat pumps, especially in colder climates. However, in cool climates, which have hot summers, they make an excellent source of heat in the winter, and double as air conditioners in the summer to keep your house cool.
One of the biggest considerations for purchasing a heat pump is to make sure that you get the right size for your home. Use this interactive guide to help you decide which unit you need, so that you do not spend money on a system that is too small for your home.
Ground Source Heat Pump Reviews
Ground Source Heat Pumps are one of the most efficient options for heating your home. You have several options to choose from, and the size of system depends on the size of your home and the climate zone in which you live. Before you buy a heat pump, go through this interactive checklist to determine the best unit for your home, and your climate zone. Also decide on whether you want a horizontal array or a vertical array system.
Note on supplier: the Daikin group of companies is an umbrella company that owns several manufacturers. For example, they own Goodman, who manufacture air source heat pumps (see above), and the McQuay company, which is one of the best manufacturers of 2 stage heat pumps.

Nick Dirks Injury Report
Sad news for fans of Nick Dirks' stunting, he suffered a broken femur over the holidays and is down for the count for four months or so. The incident occurred off the Cascade Lift at Mt. Hood Meadows. "I ran into a boulder," Nick said. "Focused my leg, I looked like Gumby." We assume he meant Gumby covered with bad homemade tats, but still, not an image we like to picture.
Nick got the joy of an ambulance ride from Mt. Hood to Portland, which if you know anything about Oregon geography, you'll understand is not that close. Then after the first surgery to put everything back in place was done haphazzardly, he had to go under the knife again to have the rod straightened out. Needless to say, this will not be a cheap experience, even if they did "comp" the second surgery. Thankfully Nick has insurance, but thanks to our awesome US Health system it will still drain his bank account in extra charges.
That said, Nick Dirks benefit shirts are in the works, and you will want one, but for now, enjoy his actual X-rays. Get well soon Nick!

Surgery in Children
The most important things to consider when your child is having surgery are
- Who is doing the surgery and even more importantly?
- Who is putting your child to sleep?
All of my patients are scheduled at facilities whose staff are patient focused and well trained to take care of your child. The board certified pediatric anesthesiologists from Aegis Anesthesia are the group of anesthesiologists who will administer anesthesia to your child. They are patient focused and are personally present during your child's entire surgery. I have worked with them for many years and continue to be impressed by their skill, knowledge, and bedside manner. I have not witnessed one complication from their care in all of these years. I strive to ensure that all patients receive great care and have a good experience while in my surgical care.
Pediatric Anesthesiologists – Aegis Anesthesia
If your child requires a procedure under anesthesia, research shows that when parents and children know what to expect, they have less anxiety, earlier discharge and require less postoperative pain medication. The board certified pediatric anesthesiologists from Aegis Anesthesia have produced an instructional video "Preparing Your Child For Anesthesia and Surgery" to assist parents in preparing for their child's surgery.
We recommend the pediatric physicians represented through Aegis Anesthesia, your direct connection to some of the most outstanding pediatric anesthesiologists in the Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco and Southlake area.

text: By Bruno Federowski SAO PAULO, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The Brazilian real strengthened on Monday as an emerging market selloff triggered by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's unexpected victory lost more steam. The real firmed 0.9 percent, extending gains to 2.5 percent in four sessions after touching a five-month low on Nov. 14. Other Latin American currencies, such as the Mexican peso , also rose. The rebound allowed Brazil's central bank to reduce its currency intervention following two weeks of heavy action. Seeking to curb volatility, the bank had offered new traditional currency swaps, which function like selling dollars to investors for future delivery, nearly every day since Nov. 11. The bank has not announced any such auction for Monday, but it will offer swaps to roll over contracts maturing next month. The National Treasury also refrained from announcing a bond repurchase auction for this session after doing so for the last three trading days. Nevertheless, global risk appetite drove down local bond and rate future <0#2DIJ:> yields. In a statement, the Treasury said it would keep monitoring market conditions, "seeking to guarantee bond markets will function properly." Brazil's benchmark Bovespa stock index rose 1 percent, supported by a gain in shares of state-controlled lender Banco do Brasil SA. The bank said late on Sunday that it would close 402 branches, downsize another 379 and give early retirement to employees to save up to 3.05 billion reais ($908 million). Shares of miners and steelmakers, such as Gerdau SA and Cia Siderúrgica Nacional SA also extended their recent rally on hopes that Trump's plans of heavy infrastructure spending could support prices of industrial metals.

Looks like Brianne Chantal Patterson has squatted and laid yet another Twitter egg alt account especially aimed at tormenting and stalking Kelly Clarkson and her husband, Brandon Blackstock.
This time she is pretending to be "warning" them of the dangers of .. well .. herself.
The name on the account is "Johnny" @applejohn6688 . While the tweets aimed at Brandon have been deleted by Brianne (tweet and delete is her favorite game) they still exist is screenshots.
And notice who this account is following? This is typical McScary tactics... targeting not only her intended victim but their family and close friends.
Brianne is pure evil. She doesnt care that Kelly is pregnant and does not need any further stress in her life.. she doesnt care whose lives she destroys .. the only thing she cares about is her own agenda. Her own evil, retaliatory agenda.

Whenever anything of international importance happens anywhere in the world, I turn to my bookshelves for comfort and comprehension. Usually not to non-fiction, as one might expect in the case of major political events, but to fiction. Stories.
I believe that one great novel can teach us more about the world we live in, on a deeper level, than dozens of mediocre books filled with facts and only facts.
Last week's terror attacks in Mumbai proved this to me once again. For many years I've been dreaming of visiting India, mainly because of stories written by authors of Indian origin like Vikram Chandra, Vikram Seth, Amitav Ghosh, Salman Rushdie, Kiran and Anita Desai, to name just a few in an ever-increasing list of literary delights. Barely a month ago Aravind Adiga won the 2008 Man Booker Prize for his debut novel, The White Tiger - not the first Indian author to achieve this honour for a first novel. In 1997 Arundhati Roy won the Booker for another remarkable debut novel, The God of Small Things.
In fact, The White Tiger is the ninth Booker Prize winner about India or Indian identity. And Amitav Ghosh's Sea of Poppies was also on the 2008 shortlist. I am clearly not the only admirer of novels about this fascinating sub-continent.
So when I saw the shocking television images of burning buildings and injured people in Mumbai, I immediately thought of all these admirable writers, most of whom still prefer to call the city Bombay. It was, above all, Vikram Chandra's Love and Longing in Bombay that sprang to mind.
From love and longing in Bombay to hate and hurt in Mumbai?
Love and Longing in Bombay is a collection of five interconnected 'long short stories', published in 1997, that reads like a love letter to a larger-than-life city. Vikram Chandra continued this literary love letter in Sacred Games (2006), a massive and magnificent epic about the criminal underworld of Bombay which apparently took him seven years to write. A very long love letter, surely, but as a reviewer in the British Sunday Telegraph raved: 'One could read Sacred Games seven times over and still be finding new treasures.'
For instance, one of the 'treasures' I missed when I read Sacred Games earlier this year, was that the hero of the story, police detective Sartaj Singh, was already an old acquaintance. When the unfolding news events in Mumbai prompted me to start paging through Love and Longing in Bombay again, I realised - of course! how could I have missed it! - that Sartaj Singh had actually made his first appearance more than a decade ago in one of these short stories.
My only excuse is that Sacred Games is so crammed with memorable characters that even a hero could get lost in the crowd. Bollywood meets Dickens would be a suitable, if insufficient, description. The Financial Times praised this 'blockbuster in every sense' for having 'more subplots than Shakespeare, more themes than Tchaikovsky, more dead bodies than Highgate, more history than Gibbons'.
And if this sounds like journalistic hyperbole, well, read it and judge for yourself. You might even end up reading it more than once and find a few of the treasures you missed in the first breathless attempt to keep following the twisting plot.
Something you won't miss, though, after what happened last week in Mumbai - 'India's nine eleven', as it is already dubbed in some quarters - is the undercurrent of political tension between India and Pakistan. The plot involves intelligence agents of both countries, the smuggling of radioactive materials, and 'the tense ticking away of a nuclear threat', as it was described in the Times Literary Supplement.
Fact, they say, is always stranger than fiction. We don't yet have all the facts - and might never have - about what happened in Mumbai last week. But we'll always have fiction to help us cope with even the strangest facts.

12 year old dog, coughing, refusing most food, please help(7 Posts)
Please could someone give me some advice. Have name changed for this as I don't want the thread to follow me around.
My DM has a 12-year-old dog who is just the most delightful dog. She really is such a little love and is adored by the whole family. In recent weeks, she has had a periodic cough, sort of a hack which happens a few times until she is able to clear her throat. She has had this on sporadic occasions going back quite far, but we have attributed this to allergies, as we are positive she has a type of hayfever. This started around the same time this year as it has in previous years. She was refusing a lot of food, wouldn't eat biscuits and it was a battle to get much in the way of real food into her.
My DM took her dog to the vets two weeks ago and described the above situation. The vet thought that the refusing food problems may be down to a throat irritation and prescribed 75mg of Rimadyl to be taken once a day. The difference was almost immediate and my DM's dog began eating fairly normally again, ate a main meal and took treats. She was on the course of tablets for about a week and during that time she was back to normal, very little coughing (just what we would expect with the hayfever) and eating normally.
Three days after the course of tablets ended, she went back to how she was before starting them. Coughing became more frequent, refusing food again etc.
She has still wanted to go on walks and been happy to greet people when they have come in the house. She has not refused water and has been drinking from what we can tell quite normally. She has taken very small amounts of treats from your hand, and has also licked smooth food off fingers. She seems interested in food, but just won't take it.
Can anyone offer advice? From the small amount of googling I have been able to do, I have seen some dogs have been prescribed Rimadyl on a long term basis and wondering if a vet would be willing to do this? I know it's usually prescribed long term for arthritis (which we believe my DM's dog has) but the change in her was remarkable on it.
The vet listened to her heart and breathing and was happy about them both. We have had some concerns about her breathing patterns (seemed a little out of sync from normal but the vet didn't seem worried).
Frankly, we are really scared that we will lose her because of this. We don't want to see her suffering. At the moment she doesn't appear to be in pain (other than when she coughs which I imagine isn't exactly nice for her). If anyone has any advice, please feel free to offer it up, we would be very grateful. I will answer any questions people need to be able to help me, I just thought this had got long enough for now.
Thank you in advance for anything.
One of my old Goldies was on Rymadyl long term for joint troubles....
I think you need to go back to the vet as it sounds like the dog needs more help.
I would definitely go back to the vet and get further advice.
Our 12 yo dog has an intermittent cough which seems to come and go. The vets can't get to the bottom of it but antibiotics seem to help. Once again, heart and breathing are fine. We've had to conclude either a throat infection or bacteria from his teeth. As they get old their teeth can deteriorate and a lot of bacteria can make its way into their system. We've ruled out kennel cough and other common causes.
What is the dog fed on? Ours was virtually a goner on kibble. I don't think he would be here now if we'd continued to kibble feed him. I think the dryness irritated his throat. He's been good for years on tins (has had this on and off since 7 or 8) but the last couple of years has been on raw and that seems even better.
I'm not a vet so certainly wouldn't say is the same for your dog but thought you would like to be reassured that ours has had a sometimes terrible cough for some years now and is in all other respects fit and healthy and excellent for his age. We do give him antibiotics if it gets bad so I would definitely go back to the vet because you ought to rule anything serious out if nothing else. Vet has drawn a bit of a blank worth us as all tests have come back negative but thinks the teeth thing makes most sense. We ought to really have them removed but I am too scared to put an otherwise healthy happy dog who has reached his life expectancy under anaesthetic only to find it changes nothing - his teeth are discolored but otherwise ok.
Thank you so much for the responses. Very kind of you to take the time to reply.
It's interesting that you mentioned teeth, musicposy. The vet did say that her teeth weren't the best. I theorised that myself, perhaps the teeth were causing an element of the problem, or at least certainly not helping things.
She really is interested in food, you can tell. Her ears perk up when you mention biscuits etc and she willingly goes to food and sniffs it, she just won't eat/swallow it.
She will not eat kibble. Mainly chicken and rice, that kind of thing.
I would also look at fluid build up around the heart xx
I second what landrover says. We have a dog, where the heart problem was noticed by his cough.
My schnauzer has a hurt murmur and a cough may be symptomatic of that, whenever we go to the vet even when it's for something unrelated they listen to his heart ask if his coughing has increased.

Museum of the Bible's World Stage Theater in Washington, D.C.
November 14, 2017 – January 7, 2018
Washington Post
The sweeping musical, centering on the tumultuous life of John Newton, the hymn's 18th-century author, tells the story of how the song came to be in the first place.
The musical's costuming and staging is superb, with some moments of genuine astonishment. An underwater scene, as spectacular as anything available on Broadway, elicited widespread gasps and cheering from the audience.
The cast, without exception, bring unfailing earnestness and capable singing to their parts.
The narrative heart of the work is optimistic, with an unabashed insistence that individuals can change dramatically for the better. The same individuals have the power, in turn, to influence society in a progressive direction.
With a feel-good ending, you might call "Amazing Grace" a triumphalist view on advancement in persons and politics. Culture is a bolt that ratchets in only one direction in the play: toward greater freedom and compassion.
Chicago Tribune
The message of "Amazing Grace" — that the most despicable, slave-owning wretch can see the light and the errors of past ways and become a force for reconciliation — is an aspiration devoutly to be wished for, given the deep-seated racial divisions in the union, rolling back to the era of slavery, America's original sin.
For sure, a vibrant Broadway should not just be for Blue State secularists. Spiritual notions of forgiveness and redemption are at the heart of most musicals, even those that hide their faith-based souls under layers of irony. And in the deeply emotional performance from Chuck Cooper, who plays Newton's personal slave and surrogate father in this new musical, there is profound longing, pain and hope for the future.
NY Times
Curious to know more? Make a beeline for the Nederlander Theater, where the show, with a score by a musical theater newcomer, Christopher Smith, and a book by Mr. Smith and Arthur Giron, opened on Thursday. The peculiar story of Newton's life forms the spine of the musical, which traces the gradual moral awakening that led to his conversion from a trafficker in human flesh to a deeply religious writer of hymns.
Ms. Mackey's pure, radiant soprano delights the ear, and she infuses Mary with a touching sincerity that helps make convincing the rather unnatural moral perfection of her character. Mr. Young's tenor matches Ms. Mackey's in its bright, limpid richness.
Daily Herald
Earning praise for its grand sound (the ensemble sings beautifully, especially leads Josh Young and Erin Mackey) and good looks (Toni-Leslie James' period costumes are stunning), the lovingly crafted if overstuffed "Amazing Grace" suffers from narrative glitches (involving fine-tuning and motivation that would make us care about these characters) along with some curious choices in set design and staging.
Seven years in the making, it marks the professional debut of Pennsylvania police officer turned composer/lyricist Christopher Smith, who co-authored the book with playwright Arthur Giron. The anthemic, ballad-heavy score (conducted by music director Joseph Church) starts off promisingly with "Truly Alive," an urgent expression of youthful independence. Also impressive is the rousing, abolitionist anthem "We Are Determined" and the haunting "Nowhere Left to Run" exquisitely sung by Tony Award winner Chuck Cooper. (In a missed opportunity, the titular hymn comes as a coda.)
It's been a while since a serious, period epic of redemption amid political turmoil formed the basis of a large-scale original musical, and for that reason alone this Broadway tryout in Chicago — based on the true story of English slave-trader-cum-abolitionist-pastor John Newton, who penned the words of the beloved hymn "Amazing Grace" — possesses an admirable ambition. That sincere earnestness, along with expert pacing and theatrical flair from director Gabriel Barre and superb, intense performances (particularly from Chuck Cooper and Tom Hewitt), carry this show along with moments of genuine potency.
The pull of the historical and the realistic against the show's undertow of implied providential miracle makes for a fascinating tension. There's also the deeply personal and individual sense of God's presence and mercy competing with the thrust of social justice that drives the larger story. Clearly Smith, a former Pennsylvania policeman who is a newcomer to writing musicals, wants to appeal both to faith-based audiences as well as to more skeptical ones. He and Barre strike a careful balance, but they may be sacrificing depth for breadth of appeal.

"It was such a great pleasure to have the opportunity to book groups for AMAZING GRACE. It is rare to find a production that appeals to such a diverse market - tour and travel, seniors, students, faith based organizations of all denominations, private clubs and corporations are among those we booked. Our clients were enthusiastic in their response to this remarkable production. They loved that the story was based on true story but rivaled anything you might find in fiction. The characters were complex men and women that although flawed met challenges and triumphed. The audiences were touched and changed every night by their attendance.
Thank you again for permitting us to be a part of AMAZING GRACE."

Do yourself a favour and set just over half an hour aside to watch and listen to John Cleese lecturing on creativity.
This link popped up in my inbox and I casually popped it on the TV, thinking I'll listen to him in the background while I work on my computer. Within a minute, I'd closed my laptop and devoted all my attention to this video.

5 Months In, Why I Went Back to Linux
After about 5 months of using ChromeOS (on a Samsung Chromebook) along with crouton, I decided to switch back to a full-blown Linux distribution rather than running crouton alongside ChromeOS (in a chroot). I detailed my earlier decisions and experiences in earlier posts in this blog.
My Experiences with ChromeOS and Crouton
In earlier posts I discussed using ChromeOS on my Samsung Chromebook. Using ChromeOS, especially on Chromebooks, is about working in the cloud. In this case, it is pretty much the cloud as defined by google. There are many advantages to using a Chromebook in this way, which is how it is intended to be used:
- Your data is automatically backed up to the cloud
- Your Chromebook receives updates automatically. Unlike what one might experience with Windows updates, this works pretty seamlessly.
- Your environment is protected against viruses
My general experience with working this way was quite positive. The machine booted quickly, usually in about 10 seconds. The chrome browser started. It remembered previously open tabs (from when I last closed the browser or shut down the machine), and restarted them. Depending on the number of tabs, this processing could take a while. Still, from shut down state, I was up and running quite quickly.
Essentially, the chrome browser is your desktop and is pretty much your environment. Although there are some exceptions like the file manager and media player, almost all your applications run inside the browser. With the advances made with HTML5 you can do amazing things within the chrome browser. Essentially, many of things you run within the chrome browser are web apps. That is, they are written to work solely in a browser environment, irrespective of the underlying OS. ChromeOS also supports Chrome Apps, an enhancement of what were previously called packaged apps. Unlike web apps, these apps can use Chrome APIs to access functions of the underlying ChromeOS. Unlike web apps, the packaged apps can be written to allow offline access to data.
As I mentioned above, my experience with working in ChromeOS was quite positive. Many of the things I use are web oriented. I use twitter, mainly to follow what others write rather than comment myself. I use Google+ in a similar vein. I also read several blogs, do searches, and do much of my shopping on-line. For those activities, ChromeOS and the chromebook are ideal. As I mentioned in previous posts however, there were things which I could not do in ChromeOS, including:

For those activities, ChromeOS and the chromebook are ideal. As I mentioned in previous posts however, there were things which I could not do in ChromeOS, including:
- Use GNUCash for budgeting and tracking expenses
- Get data from my Garmin GPS watch via the ANT+ USB stick
- Use a non web-based e-mail client
- Use GIMP for doing graphical editing
- Use my scanner and load the results into GIMP
- I am uncomfortable with having all my data, like financial data, in the cloud under the control of some third party.
- I have been using Linux for over 10 years, and prefer certain open source software (OSS) like GNUCash and GIMP.
Using Crouton for Non-Web AccessAs I explained in previous posts, I was able to set up crouton to allow access to things like my scanner and to run applications like GIMP and GNUCash. Crouton sets up a separate (via a chroot) Ubuntu environment which can be accessed via a key sequence. When I wanted to use my email client, I switched to the crouton environment and accessed it there. Similarly, I used this environment for access to my ANT+ stick and scanner, and to use GIMP and GNUCash. I also was able to set up software to copy/paste the clipboard between the ChromeOS and crouton environments.
I worked in this environment for months and was able to do pretty much everything I need to do. After a while, I rarely needed to boot up my old Linux laptop to do something.
Why I Decided to ChangeFirst let me say that for many audiences, a Chromebook may be ideal. They are catching on at schools, and this makes total sense. One feature I failed to mention earlier is the fact that multiple users can share the same physical Chromebook. Since all the data is kept in the cloud (at least if you use only ChromeOS), it is trivial to have multiple accounts associated with the machine. In fact, a student can log into a different physical Chromebook every day and not know the difference. Administrators can set up the Chromebooks similarly with various extensions, etc.. Also, quite a few Chromebooks cost under $250 at retail prices. It was stated recently that 1 in 5 school districts is using Chromebooks now.
For consumers who are able and willing to work in a web environment, a Chromebook may be the perfect option. For printing, if they have a cloud enabled printer, they can easily print from their chrome browser. At this point it appears that sales of Chromebooks are increasing, while sales of other types of laptop and desktop computers are decreasing. If you are willing to buy into the idea of having all your data in the cloud, Chromebooks may be ideal for many consumers.
That last point is the major rub for me however. As I used the Chromebook more and more, and as more reports of the NSA and cooperation of Google and other companies regarding access to user data came to light, I became more and more uncomfortable with the entire premise of using so many web-based apps. Just what are they doing with my data? How secure is it? We have all seen stories of various merchant sites being hacked and thefts of personal and/or credit card data. Can you trust their privacy policy? Even if it seems OK today, will they change it tomorrow and if they do, will you be so wedded by that time to their application that you feel you have no choice but to go along with a changed policy that (potentially) gives you less control of your data.
With native applications, at least those that don't send data to the web, I have control of my data, as long as I have adequate security controls in place. When I use the browser and web apps, I may not know whether I am giving up privacy and/or security. With native applications I am familiar with, at least I should (hopefully) know.
Given this concern, one might ask, wasn't I already using a solution to this dilemma? After all, I already was using crouton which gave me native (and controlled) access to data. I could use this environment for things where I wanted to guarantee better control of my data, while using ChromeOS for everything else. Although this is true, I guess I consider the ChromeOS environment somewhat insidious. You get used to it and use more and more of its apps and after a while you are tempted to use it for almost everything. At that point, you have lost control of most if not all of your data. Additionally, I got tired of constantly switching back and forth between the crouton and ChromeOS environments.
In the end, while the Chromebook might be ideal for lots of people, I decided it wasn't for me.

Thousands of revellers danced in Ebrington Square last night as the stars took to the stage for Derry's Peace One Day extravaganza.
Thousands of revellers danced in Ebrington Square last night as the stars took to the stage for Derry's Peace One Day extravaganza.
The former army barracks came to life from just after 7 o'clock, and chart topper Pixie Lott was among a host of acts performing in front of almost 10,000 screaming fans.
Hollywood heart throb Jude Law, ambassador with Peace One Day, hosted the concert and gave the city his own seal of approval.
Speaking to the 'Journal,' the Oscar nominated actor said that Derry was a "city in transition" and said it was "brilliant to be in Derry, a vibrant city, which ticked all the boxes of what we are trying to do".
He was speaking after introducing Derry band The Wonder Villains to the crowd to open the show at Ebrington Square.
The Hollywood A-lister said the choice of venue was in keeping with the ethos of Peace One Day.
"It's apt that we are here in a former army barracks, with a Peace Bridge behind us, it shows that a transition to peace is possible."
Those in the crowd included soccer star James McClean and Glee's Damien McGinty.
The concert marks the beginning of the lead in to Derry's City of Culture Year in 2013. Next week brings the North Atlantic Fiddle Convention, the Clipper Round the World Race and Celtronic.
Sarah Doherty and Natalie McCrystal from Strathfoyle were among the thousands enjoying the concert last night. "It's amazing to be here, the black clouds are overhead but even if it rains we don't care!" they said.

Is there any plans to release a mac desktop client with the Mondo interface to view transactions, stats etc on your computer?
Or possibly a web version?
Its possible to use the URL protocol used in the Mondo app for a desktop client, so the "Log in to Mondo" button .
The problem is iOS binaries are encrypted and mostly all other binaries are not protected at all, this would make it too easy to find out Mondo works - as their login link says it does "magic authentication".
I'm pretty sure Mondo aren't using security by obscurity. Where does this information come from?
You're right, security through obfuscation is not security. iOS does not obfuscate the binaries - maybe does now but didn't when I last looked - it actually encrypts them.
I presume, without actually looking into it further, the "Log in to Mondo" button calls a URL with a token as a parameter, this endpoint once verified then will redirect you to a URL protocol for Mondo - as an exmaple "mondo://magic-link/1234567890" - which will advertently open the Mondo app.
This process flow should also work for a Mac application, even a Windows one.
Okay, so what's "magic" about email authentication/ universal links, and why does this cause problems for someone who'd want to make a desktop client to view transactions/stats? And how is it not security by obscurity if they're relying on the fact that the iOS binary is encrypted to make it not "too easy" to find out "how it works"?
(Sorry for all the questions, I'm not trying to be a pain, I just want to know what I'm missing here )
The Mondo public API including OAuth 2.0 strategy is documented here.
Theres nothing 'magical' about the authentication links, they're just timed token links I guess. If someone wanted to make a desktop client you can, there is no problem with using the method Mondo uses for iOS.
Lets just make this clear, you're calling it 'obscurity' which is not the correct term I am trying to use - the saying is usually "security through obfuscation is not security". Obfuscation is not encryption. An executables code can be obfuscated or not and the execution will still happen the same way, with an encrypted exe the actual instructions have to be decrypted before they can run - along with Apps from the App Store being signed by Apple themselves - it makes it harder to find out how the process works. I am not saying its impossible, as nothing is unhackable, you just have to put in so many roadblocks that you deter people.
The term I'm using is security by obscurity, which is a distinct term with its own Wikipedia page and describes an approach to system security, not just a matter of obfuscation vs. encryption of binaries.
My initial reply was simply asking what you meant when you said:
The problem is [...] mostly all other binaries are not protected at all, this would make it too easy to find out Mondo works - as their login link says it does "magic authentication"
My comment was that if Mondo's security hinged on the fact that their app binaries are encrypted (which I'm quite sure they don't), this would not be a wise strategy.
I assume I'm misunderstanding your original post, in which case my bad
Ah sorry my bad! I didn't know you really meant obscurity - I have to deal with a lot of employees that don't understand terminology so I have to guess at what they're trying to say, which I don't have to here .
I was just trying to point out that the Mondo app is natively protected by iOS security, which makes it hard (not impossible) to find how the authentication works. Mac apps are also protected by OSX. Android and Windows (notably .NET) are so easy to unpack anyone with a knowledge of google and keywords can find an unpacker - especially Android APKs as its just a silly version of a ZIP file - they are just not protected at all its so easy to research and patch executables.
Sorry for the misunderstanding . Theres a reason I don't talk to customers at work, my brain goes a million miles an hour and my fingers can't keep up with the demand, I tend to sometimes confuse people.
The issue I see with this at the moment is that to authenticate with modno, you have to click a link recieved via email that opens in your browser. This means that we can easily create a mondo web app that you will view in your browser, but probably makes it a bit harder to create a dedicated standalone desktop app.
I don't know how easy it is to force your os to open a link within another app.
No worries! I only pressed you because comments from fellow devs that don't make sense to me play havoc with my imposter syndrome.
Still, (though I haven't checked) the auth process they're using in the app is probably identical to the one documented in their API. Also, if I wanted to reverse engineer what is essentially an API transaction I would be MITMing myself to inspect the actual requests made long before I resorted to inspecting executable code. But that's just me
@Zef You'll probably want to register a custom URL scheme for your app (e.g. mymondoapp://, implementation varies by OS) and use this in the redirect_uri of the "Authorization code grant" step of the auth process.
(Yeah, authorization. International ambitionz y'all)
Worth noting - compiled Obj-C iOS apps are actually much easier to reverse engineer than most binary formats.
It's not as trivial as a simple APK, but if you dump an Obj-C iOS app into Hopper, you'll find that almost every code-path is helpfully labelled with its selector, which makes even ASM relatively readable.
Swift is not as heavily affected by this, as most of its symbols are stripped at runtime. Obj-C can't really have its symbols stripped properly, because Obj-C selector messaging is built entirely on strings.
I have heard of this before, but didn't read into it much.
I don't believe you are correct saying "much easier to reverse engineer than most binaries", you may get to the headers and paths etc. I know that the apps are protected by Apple's DRM system, which encrypts segments of the app (not the paths for example), and the keys are unique per device also.
Its possible using a jailbroken device to get the keys to decrypt the application - but jailbroken to me is non-existent as I see 0 point in it.
As with anything - nothing is impossible to reverse enginner (I know I had lots of fun with PPC). I do believe though that iOS apps are protected better than .NET (Windows), Java (Android), etc, don't you agree?
I have found usually that if you just download the binary through the Mac version of iTunes, nothing seems to be protected in any meaningful way.
Maybe iOS and OSX apps are protected differently. That's interesting, I will look into that I'v got a few Mac apps that I want to know how they work .
Interesting, the same is not true for me with IDA. Hopper will accept it but ultimately fails to actually produce a useful disassembly. I generally have to run iOS binaries through private tools before I can RE them.
iOS apps downloaded to the desktop iTunes seem to work too. i.e.:
I recently built a web client for Mondo. Not advanced atm but it does do basic viewing of transactions and balances. Uses React & Materialize for anyone interested in the code.
Do you intend to share the code?

The Face on the Radio
Posted on July 3, 2011 by bob in Features
by Lenore Vickrey; photos by Bob Corley
When you turn on the radio these days, depending on the time of day, more than likely the announcer you're hearing isn't anywhere near the station you're listening to. He or she could be in Birmingham, or Charlotte, or Los Angeles. Or he could be sitting at home or on vacation. But he's likely not in the studio, and fewer and fewer announcers are.
The radio days of 2011 are nothing like the heyday of the 1980s and 90s in central Alabama, when WLWI dominated airwaves with its 100,000 watts of power, broadcasting country music and featuring on-air personalities like "Dr. Sam" Faulk, Don Day and Rhubarb Jones.
"The number of personalities has decreased because of automation across the board," said Faulk, 57, who calls himself a "corporate casualty" of changes in the business.
Many live personalities from yesteryear like himself have been replaced by either syndicated shows produced elsewhere, or by "voice-tracking." The latter is a process by which a disc jockey pre-records snippets of his or her on-air banter, which is then combined with music, jingles and commercials to produce what sounds like a live program.
For Faulk, who hit the airwaves in 1972, it's been tough to watch his industry evolve over the past 40 years.
Born in Dothan, he grew up in Elba listening to Bill J. Moody on WBAM-AM 740. Ironically, he's come full circle, and now works at the locally owned and operated WBAM-FM Bama Country as an account executive/announcer.
Faulk joined the staff of WLWI in late 1977, and was there when it went on the air in January 1978. He was operations manager for station manager Don Markwell for five years, in addition to hosting a popular morning show.
"We literally had the power to dictate because of the size of our listening audience," he remembered. "We could control who had a hit or not."
The station dominated the airwaves, growing rapidly and starting sister stations in Pensacola and Chattanooga.
"We were built on music and personality," said Faulk, who was nominated three times for Country Music Association Broadcast Personality of the Year. In 1989 he won that prestigious national honor. Kenny Rogers made the presentation as part of that year's CMA Awards.
During that time ratings were high and ad sales were lucrative. But Faulk and other industry observers say things seemed to change in 1998 after the station was sold to an Atlanta-based national corporation. Once the stations were no longer in local hands, Faulk said, the appreciation for longtime employees waned.
"Dedicated employees used to have weight," he said. "When a lot of record companies and radio stations started being bought up by large corporations, dedicated employees turned into numbers."
Faulk worked at WLWI through 1993, then shifted to WMMK in Destin, returning to Mix 103 in 1998. He came back to WLWI in 2006 where he stayed until June 2010 when his live morning show was replaced with the syndicated "The Rick and Bubba Show."
Another longtime radio personality, Grundy, Va., native Larry Stevens, was at WHHY-AM and FM for almost 25 years, including time as program director. He left there in 1994 to help put MIX 103 on the air.
"I left there in September 1996 when the company was in the process of being sold, and they began to let top level executives go with no explanation," Stevens said. "They demoted me and cut my salary. That's when I took my goodies and left. It was the best thing that ever happened because it forced me to think about other things I wanted to do in my life."
Now 63 and a grandfather of five, Stevens runs a successful Montgomery ad agency. As a favor to a friend and as a ministry, he also does voice tracking in the afternoons on The River, a contemporary Christian music station at 101.5.
Stevens says the changes in radio really began when the Federal Communications Commission changed its regulations and allowed companies to own more than one FM and one AM station in the same radio market. Other factors contributed to the current state of radio, including advances in technology that let stations operate without live persons in the studio, the advent of instantly delivered syndicated programming, and the growth of satellite and internet radio.
Some stations still have live announcers, primarily in the mornings or on "talk" or sports talk radio. But no local station is fully staffed with live on-air talent around the clock. Local newsrooms, with very few exceptions, have become another casualty.
"Every [police] siren was an ad for our station," said Stevens. "All you had to do was tune in to find out what was going on. Most stations today don't have a [total] staff of six or seven people, and I had that for just my morning show on WHHY," he said. "I have great respect for those who are working in the business, and some do a better job than others. But I don't see anything compelling people to local radio. It seems to be an issue of dollars more than anything else."
Back in the day, if Stevens had an idea, "I just did it. Now, anything has to go through six vice presidents and four regional program directors."
In 1974, for example, he started the first very successful Zoo Weekend with McDonald's and brought in Eddie Money to put on a concert.
"We had that kind of clout," he said. "Now you can't do that anymore because of the way corporations are set up."
Now, after the better part of a year away from the local market, "Dr. Sam" is back on the air with a live, 6-9 weeknight program. The good old days of radio may never return, but Faulk is happy where he is, where he says listener relationships are valued, and stations have local contests, take requests and give away tickets.
"All decisions are made here," he says. "We like to say we're local folks helping local businesses."

Was always a pleasure to listen to Larry
Stevens during the morning time when I was a studentat Auburn University. My wife and I often ate lunch in our car listening to him on WHHY (Y 102) in Montgomery.
I was stationed in Montgomery 1985-88, and listened to Larry Stevens daily. I'm from southwestern Virginia, not far from Grundy, and it was quite a shock to me when I heard Larry mention he was from there- actually he said Vansant, Virginia which is a community near Grundy. Montgomery was having it's annual "Tour of Homes" and Larry said if they had one in Vansant they would have to remind people to get the washing machine off the porch! So funny!!!
I as stationed at Maxwell from 1974 to 1975, stayed on as a civilian fire fighter at Maxwell until 1986, and listen to Larry Stevens every day.
Larry Stevens was THE MAN back in my high school days of the early 70's. Best radio personality then and since. I really miss those days. Wish I could hear him again. Ah, the good old days. Thank you, Larry! I hope you are still well.
