One of Victoria's highest-ranking police officers has blasted the leadership of anti-fascist and anti-Islamic groups for harbouring violent members, and flagged tougher measures including the banning of masks from protests because they promote a "mob mentality".
Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said it appeared a bloody clash at the Halal Expo at the Melbourne Showgrounds on Sunday occurred when a group of anti-fascist supporters on their way to a rally in Federation Square noticed the right-wing Party of Freedom peacefully protesting and decided to remonstrate.
He defended the police response to the brawl, and said that once the violence started, officers were focused on separating the battling groups, rather than arresting those responsible for the violence.
Mr Leane said the investigation into the brawl, which left one anti-Islamic protester bleeding heavily from the head and others injured after being punched, kicked, and beaten with flag poles, was continuing, but that police had little cooperation from the leadership of the respective groups.
He said there was no intelligence to suggest an anti-fascist ambush, and it appeared the attack was not planned. The Halal Expo will be held in Sydney this weekend.
"The anti-fascist group and the anti-Islam group both claim to be peaceful," Assistant Commissioner Leane said.
"But what we're seeing right across Victoria and right across Australia is that neither side necessarily is peaceful. There's violent protest and violent confrontation every time that they come together.
"We really have to question the motivation of why they're doing it."
Mr Leane said he had spoken to Chief Commissioner Graham Ashton about the need for the state government to implement laws that would ban the use of masks at public gatherings, as it was clear they were used to hide the identity of violent protesters, and protect them if police deployed OC spray.
He said the measure would not extend to those wearing religious headdress, and would include common sense measures that ensured those wearing similar clothing as part of their protest - such as the Party of Freedom members on Sunday - would be prevented from doing so.
Mr Leane said Victoria Police worked with unions and other groups to manage their protests, largely without incident, but had been frustrated in dealing with the protest groups who had been involved in clashes, particularly in Melbourne's CBD, Melton, and Bendigo, for the past 18 months.
Of the relationship between Victoria Police and the leadership of the warring protest groups, Mr Leane said: "It's got a long way to go, from both sides."
"There's a sense of entitlement from both sides. There's a sense of entitlement to be able to shut down the city whenever they feel like they can.
"We've got a long way to go in that relationship."
He did not expect the leadership of either group to cooperate in the investigation into Sunday's fracas, and said it was clear "cells" within each movement appeared determined to use their fists to protest.
"There's no doubt that there's elements of both the left and the right ... that see violence as one of the tools they'll use to quell the views of others."
The far-left activists believed to be part of the Halal Expo ambush were from the Antifa group, whose members have not been afraid to resort to violence in the past. The anti-Islam protesters included members of the United Patriots Front and Reclaim Australia, as well as the Party for Freedom.
At the same time as the brawl, hundreds of campaigners filled Federation Square to protest the anti-Islamic movement, which was put back in the spotlight when a United Patriots Front "stop the mosques" banner was unveiled at the Collingwood-Richmond AFL game at the MCG on Friday night.
The scene at Federation Square was much calmer, with UPF reportedly abandoning their plans for a counter-rally.

What do you mean I need "a stream" and the options available. I thought that the audio (speech) feature in sl would be considered the stream in which to broadcast the music within that venue. Thanks again in advance for your time and guidance.

I listen to a lot of podcasts and have found it to be a great way of usefully using my commuting time. In general there are two types of podcast I listen to; funny and informative. The best ones are both.
With the exception of BBC podcasts and Six String Bliss, all of these are liberally peppered with profanity and adult themes. If you're easily offended, give them a miss.
- Peacock and Gamble – Two British stand-up comedians both with an off-kilter view of the world. Strange combination of innocence and moral corruption. This is the podcast I have to be most careful about listening to. It has made me squirt latte out of my nose and, on one particularly memorable morning, start to cry on a commuter train (tears of mirth thankfully) – I did get a seat to myself for a change.
- The Bugle – Bit of an odd one this because Andy Zaltzman's endless puns irritate me beyond belief, and yet it is worth putting up with these for the truly magnificent John Oliver (of Daily Show fame). And to be fair to AZ, when he's not punning, is a genuinely funny and knowledgeable man – I'd hate to be stuck in a lift with him though.
- Collings and Herrin – Two friends sitting in an attic talking about anything they fancy. Ostensibly supposed to be news-based, where they discuss the headlines of the day, but very rarely do. And when they do talk about the news it quickly spins off into something else. I always liked Richard Herring and considered him to be the funny one of the "Lee and Herring" partnership. As much as I like Stewart Lee, I'm surprised that he is the one to have gone on to be more successful. Andrew Collins is definitely the straight man of the pair but still worth listening to (apart from his views about homeopathy and natural cures). Mind you his (slight) Northampton accent frequently brings back my unpleasant memories of my exile there in the mid-80s.
- SModcast – Director Kevin Smith (Clerks, Zack and Miri, etc) and his sidekick/producer Scott Mosier talking about a vast range of subjects, from industry gossip, to running comic book stores, to ice hockey, to size-ism, to bizarre sexual practices – and everything in between. Includes a great cast of additional characters that occasionally stand in for Scott when he's not about. My personal favourites were the podcasts Kevin did with his mum. Funny and touching. Like the very best "two-hander" UK TV dramas from the golden days.
- Phil and Phill's Perfect 10 – 10 Questions, posted in by listeners, pulled out of a hat and discussed at length. Always funny. Often filthy. Occasionally informative.
- BBC Radio 2's Fighting Talk – A humourous sports quiz show hosted by Colin Murray with a regular cast of characters. Mainly based around English football, but occasionally strays into darts, curling, ice hockey, baseball and beyond. Always entertaining and Colin Murray is a superb host.
- BBC Radio 4 Choice – The best radio broadcaster in the world by a massive margin in my opinion. This podcast, which features an interesting programme from the previous week sums up Radio 4 for me. I continually find myself engrossed in subjects which I never knew were of interest to me.
- Six String Bliss – Last, and most definitely not least, is Six String Bliss, a weekly podcast about all things guitar. Hosted by Pipes and PT, there are regular topics about a Guitarist of the Week, recent guitar news, tracks submitted by listeners, interviews, reviews. If you play, or are interested in playing, then this is definitely worth a listen. There is, perhaps, a rock/indie focus to the music but not to the exclusion of other types of music – everything from Wes Montgomery to Slipknot will find a home at Six String Bliss.

PARIS – Bulgarian authorities said Tuesday they have arrested a French citizen believed to have links to one of the Kouachi brothers, while in Paris President Francois Hollande led an homage to three slain police officers.
Fritz-Joly Joachin, 29, was arrested under two European arrest warrants, one citing his alleged links to a terrorist organization, and a second for allegedly kidnapping his 3-year-old son and smuggling him out of the country, said Darina Slavova, regional prosecutor of the southern province of Haskovo.
Speaking on the private Nova TV channel, Slavova said the first warrant cited his possible association with one of the attackers, Cherif Kouachi.
In Paris ceremony, Hollande went first to the family of Ahmed Merabet, the French Muslim policeman killed in the attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo. The satirical newspaper lampooned religions and had been threatened repeatedly for its caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad.

ROBERTSDALE, Alabama — A new partnership with Ford Motor Company, Foley-based Moyer Ford and Baldwin County Public Schools is poised to put students miles ahead when it comes to competing for …
ROBERTSDALE, Alabama — A new partnership with Ford Motor Company, Foley-based Moyer Ford and Baldwin County Public Schools is poised to put students miles ahead when it comes to competing for the best automotive technician jobs. Baldwin County Public Schools is the first system in Alabama to offer the opportunity.
"I am ecstatic to share details about this partnership that provides an unbelievable opportunity for our career technical students to learn through a partnership with our South Baldwin Center for Technology, Ford Motor and our friends at the local dealership, Moyer Ford," said Baldwin County School Superintendent Eddie Tyler.
Ford Automotive Career Exploration (ACE) is a program being developed with the objective to "increase the quality and quantity of high school students entering post-secondary education, and ultimately the automotive technician career."
This will result in more credentialed post-secondary graduates available to Ford and Lincoln dealerships as entry technicians.
"I am very excited about our partnership, and I look forward to building a strong relationship between Moyer Ford, Ford Motor Company and South Baldwin Career Technology in Robertsdale," said Bethany Toups, field service engineer Ford Motor Company.
Officials with Ford Motor Company and Foley-based Moyer Ford met with school officials Friday for a press conference at the South Baldwin Center for Technology in Robertsdale.
"There is a huge need for technicians in our industry today," said Richard Moyer, president of Moyer Ford, "and I am proud to be a part of this partnership with Baldwin County schools to fill that need," said Richard Moyer, president of Moyer Ford."
According to a joint press release issued Friday by Baldwin County Schools and Ford Motor Company, the objectives of the program include:
• Increase awareness of Ford and Lincoln dealership career opportunities for high school students, helping our dealerships become employers of choice in their community.
• Increase automotive instructor and student awareness of Ford Technical Career Entry Programs.
• Increase dealership access to high school student technicians prior to them attending a Ford Technical Career Entry program.
• Asset dealerships in supporting their local high school automotive technology programs.
"This program provides educational software that provides students the advantage of having technical knowledge in the automotive world," said Don Christoff, regional talent placement specialist with Ford Motor Company. "This program provides students with a leg up when they are ready to enter the automotive industry."
Matthew Judy, automotive instructor at SBCT, said he is thrilled to be able to offer the program to his students.
"This will make a tremendous difference for us in being able to prepare our students," he said. "We have always prided ourselves in being able to provide highly qualified technicians to the next level of their education. This will certainly give these students an advantage, particularly within the Ford industry."
Among the elements of the Ford ACE program include:
• High school automotive program instructors and students granted access to Ford Service Training web courses on a dedicated Learning Management System.
• Ability to transfer training history in Ford's Standardized Training and Resource System (STARS). However currently this is a manual process and the dealership or TCEP School must create a profile in STARS first.
• Selection of high schools for limited engine assembly donations (to be used for student training).
Friday's announcement is part of the Baldwin County Career and Technical Education students and faculty's effort to join a national and statewide effort to celebrate February as Career and Technical Education Month.
"This is a prime example of how our school can work together with an industry leader to provide quality education for our students," said SBCT Principal Kendall Mowdy. "It is always our goal to provide the best opportunities for our students, whether it is to continue their education at a two- or four-year institution, or whether it is to go directly into a more specialized training area."
This year's theme is "Celebrate Today, Own Tomorrow!" Career Technical Education Month provides hands-on programs an opportunity to showcase how career technical programs prepare students for their post-high school life.
"Our business and industry partners have spoken loudly and clearly," Tyler said. "They need a highly-qualified work force that not only knows their skills but that can critically think to solve job challenges. Our career technical education students and teachers are doing a great job, placing among the top in national and state competitions; however, they want to do more and my staff, our board and I want to help them to do more, if we possibly can.
"Career Technical Education is extremely important in Baldwin County Public Schools. Unfortunately, like many other K-12 education programs, dollars have not been there to do the improvements we want. I'm excited to say, however, that we are taking a new, fresh look at our career technical facilities and programs to explore possibilities. In addition, we are always eager to partner with our business, corporate and industrial friends to help turn out outstanding graduates."
Additional events planned for Career Technical Education Month in Baldwin County include:
• Foley High School's Business Department will host a job fair on Feb. 19 and a Business Etiquette Day on Feb. 28. Foley's local businesses will also be promoting their local programs for Career Tech Month.
• Daphne Middle School Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) will be a hosting a leadership workshop in February for students in grades 6, 7 and 8.
• Students from the South Baldwin Center for Technology and the North Baldwin Center for Technology will be attending and competing at the HOSA Conference held in Montgomery, Feb. 20-22. Health Occupations Students of America or HOSA, as it's widely known, is a national career and technical student organization endorsed by the U.S. Department of Education and the Health Science Technology Education Division of The Association for Career and Technical Education (ACTE), the largest national education association in the U.S. dedicated to the advancement of education that prepares youth and adults for careers.
• Coastal Alabama Community College will be hosting a county-wide competition for the Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) student organizations from the local middle and high schools on Feb. 22.
• The South Baldwin Center of Technology's television production students are working to develop drug prevention public service announcement commercials for broadcast television. The SBCT will have different tours and presentations in support of CTE Month.
• Baldwin County Beef Cookoff will be held Feb. 26 at 4 p.m. at the ALFA Building, Robertsdale. The first-place county winner from both the junior and senior divisions will advance to the state beef cookoff in Montgomery. Special thanks to the Baldwin County Cattlewoman's Association for sponsoring this year's county cookoff again and providing cash prizes to the winners at the county level. They have also helped to pay the expenses for Baldwin contestants at the state level.
• Robertsdale High School will host a career fair March 14 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. that will include displays from South Baldwin Center for Technology, along with colleges, local industry and recruiters from the military.
• Foley High School is also hosting a College Career Day in the high school gym Feb. 28. There will be more than 60 colleges, industries and military present for students to meet and collaborate with.
• The North Baldwin and Eastern Shore Chambers of Commerce are proud to partner once again with the North Baldwin Center for Technology (NBCT) to host the Career Horizons Expo Feb. 28. This event is geared towards 8th graders who will be attending those high schools in the NBCT feeder patterns (Bay Minette, Spanish Fort and Daphne). Students will have the opportunity to see technical programs side by side with relevant business, industry and post-secondary schools. Students will have the chance to interact with instructors, potential future employers and current students in the technical programs. They will be given the opportunity to tour the school and explore the programs that are available.
Nationwide, CTE encompasses 94 percent of high school students and 8.4 million post-secondary students who attend high schools, community/technical colleges and four-year universities. Students who enroll in career technical education programs are equipped to be college and career ready. Through the cutting-edge, rigorous and relevant career technical programs, students gain the current day and often times futuristic technical skills needed to enter career pathways which offer high-wage, high-demand career opportunities.

Breaking Bad might be over, but Bryan Cranston has given us another reason to love him. This time around, the actor is telling kids that they have to get their proper nutrition.
In a clip from Audible, Cranston narrates You Have to Fucking Eat, the follow-up to Adam Mansbach's Go the Fuck to Sleep. Giving orders to children has never been so enjoyable, now thanks to expletives. Check it out:
Cranston has long impressed audiences with his array of talents. From playing meth-chef Walter White to portraying Lyndon B. Johnson on Broadway and now this barrel of mature-language fun, it's quite obvious the man can do no wrong.
This isn't the first time Cranston has dabbled in issues concerning kids. During October, he had a couple of things to say about the moms trying to petition Breaking Bad action figures.

New EMS "Add On" SKUs hit Open License Tomorrow
Woody Walton
On March 1st we added The Enterprise Mobility Suite (EMS) to Open License Offerings in Open Business and Open Value. Please see my post here for details on the overall offering.
Tomorrow we flush out EMS in the channel further by extending additional pricing options for those customers with existing investments in the Microsoft platform, specifically those customers which have purchased one of the products below with Software Assurance.
Qualifying License and Add-On User SL
An Add-on User SL is a SL that is purchased in addition to (and associated with) a qualifying license (or set of qualifying licenses), as outlined in the table below.
Note: CAL Suite Bridges are only a factor when the customer is transitioning from a CAL Suite (on premises) to a comparable Product and Online Service combination. As such, CAL Suite Bridges are comprised of those CAL Suite workloads that are not included in Office 365 or Microsoft Intune. CAL Suite Bridges allow existing CAL Suites customers to retain their current software access to those CAL Suite workloads that are not licensed through the corresponding online service. …Though they are typical for small businesses, you may encounter customers that have them. you can learn more on these license types on the Microsoft Volume Licensing website.
The bottom line is that these options allow customers to save money.
The table below shows the savings by Open Program:
All Prices MSRP.
As an example, the "monthly" rate for EMS for a commercial business that had a Core CAL with SA would be $4.23 a month. …Windows Intune, Azure AD Premium and Azure RMS all for this price. This REALLY demonstrates the value of the EMS suite as opposed to a la carte offerings such as AD premium which currently has no "Add-on" pricing.
I would like to Thank Kristen Stallard of SYNNEX Corporation for providing the EMS pricing for this post.

The idea behind the so-called "lazy keto" diet is that you don't track or limit calories at all. Nor do you count how much protein or fat you're eating.
All you do is focus on keeping your carb intake under 20 grams per day, which will put you in ketosis.
Does lazy keto work? Or do you still need to go "strict keto" and count calories if you want to lose weight?
Lazy Keto: Does It Work?
It's possible to do lazy keto and lose weight. It's also possible to do lazy keto and lose no weight, particularly if you're eating vast quantities of high-fat foods such as nuts, butter and avocados.
That's because you need a calorie deficit to lose fat. If you're eating too many calories, irrespective of where those calories are coming from, you won't lose any fat.
When they make the shift to a ketogenic diet, a lot of people do end up eating less as a result.
For one, cutting out a major macronutrient from your diet means there are fewer foods to choose from, which goes a long way towards simplifying your dietary choices.
Low-carbohydrate diets have also been shown in a number of studies to decrease hunger and reduce the desire to eat [1, 2].
Many of the foods typically consumed on a low-carb diet tend to be rich in protein. Protein is the most satiating nutrient out there, and does a better job of filling you up than carbohydrate or fat [3].
Ketones, the production of which are ramped up on a low-carbohydrate diet, also appear to suppress the appetite [4]. This gives ketogenic diets an "appetite advantage" that extends beyond their protein content alone.
In one trial, researchers compared a moderate-carbohydrate diet, where carbohydrate provided 35% of total calories, with a ketogenic low-carb diet [5].
Both diets were relatively high in protein, which was set at 30% of total calories.
When they were on the ketogenic diet, test subjects reported feeling less hungry than they did on the moderate-carb diet. That's despite the fact that protein intake was identical. They also ate around 180 fewer calories per day, which led to a couple of pounds (one kilogram) of extra fat being lost.
But to repeat, losing fat requires a calorie deficit. And while low-carb diets do have the potential to reduce your food intake, simply cutting your carb intake to 20 grams per day is no guarantee that weight will be lost.
Lazy Keto vs Strict Keto
Let's say you go on a lazy keto diet. Your appetite goes down, and you end up eating less, which puts you in a calorie deficit. As a result, weight is lost.
If all you're interested in is losing weight, and you're not too bothered about where the lost weight comes from, the lazy keto diet can work just fine.
But, if you want to improve your body composition (by which I mean having more muscle and less fat), it's not going to be enough.
Building muscle, or even just holding on to the muscle you have while losing fat, requires two things – resistance training, and a sufficient intake of protein.
Without enough protein in your diet, you run the risk of losing muscle as well as fat.
However, a lot of keto dieters will restrict their protein intake, worried it'll kick them out of ketosis. So, if you're trying to build muscle on keto, do you need to put a cap on the amount of protein you eat?
For therapeutic ketogenic diets, where relatively high levels of blood ketones are required, both protein and carbohydrate intake need to be restricted.
Diets designed to treat children with intractable epilepsy, for example, typically derive less than ten percent of their calories from protein [6].
However, most studies show that you can get all the protein you need to maximize muscle growth without kicking yourself out of ketosis.
In one study, a group of highly-trained ultra-endurance athletes on a low-carb diet were still in ketosis despite eating around one gram of protein per pound (2.1 grams of protein per kilogram) of bodyweight per day [7].
It was much the same story in a group of men lifting weights three times a week and eating a low-carb diet providing 0.7 grams of protein per pound (1.6 grams of protein per kilogram) of bodyweight [8]. Test show that blood ketone levels were around 1.0 mmol/L after six weeks, indicating a state of ketosis.
The muscle-building benefits of protein appear to flatten out at around 0.7 grams per pound (1.6 grams per kilogram) of bodyweight per day. So it's still possible to follow a low-carb diet and stay in ketosis while getting enough protein to support muscle growth.
Lazy Keto: Is It Sustainable?
The lazy keto diet is certainly "lazy" in the sense that it doesn't involve tracking the amount of fat, protein and calories you eat. However, restricting your carb intake to 20 grams or less per day is no easy task [9].
The other day, I came across an article by a guy on one of these "dad bod" challenges.
He'd been following the keto diet for almost three weeks, but was tempted to take a bite of his toddler's leftover doughnut, and had been waging "inner war" with himself as to whether or not he should do it.
After an hour of shilly shallying, he decided to take the plunge and eat the doughnut. Here's how he describes what happened next:
"It's heaven – the forbidden doughnut. A rush of energy surges through my body. It feels like someone just switched all the lights on in my brain. I'm 90 percent certain I could go outside and lift up a lorry."
Then he drank a beer and ordered a pizza. And just like that, the diet was over.
Some folks seem to do just fine on keto. But Doughnut Guy, in his own words, had "never felt worse."
For a diet to work, it has to be both effective (i.e. it leads to fat being lost) and sustainable.
Keto is certainly effective in the sense that it can lead to fat being lost. But, for a lot of people at least, it's not sustainable. You have to monitor your carbohydrate intake very carefully.
When you know you can't have something, it's human nature to want it all the more. So if you know that you're "not allowed" to eat carbs, carbs are exactly what you're going to want.
Why You Don't Have to Go Full Keto
There are many good things to be said about low-carbohydrate diets. The focus is usually on eating simple, wholesome, nutrient-dense foods that tend to fill you up on fewer calories. They also encourage you to steer clear of most hyper-palatable, energy-dense "junk" foods.
However, there is a lot of hype about keto, and it can be hard to separate the legitimate benefits from all the half-truths and bullshit.
Personally, I don't use ketogenic diets. Nor do I recommend them as a starting point for anyone who wants to lose weight. As far as I'm concerned, you don't have to go "full keto" to get the benefits of restricting your carb intake.
In one study, switching to a paleo-style diet, which provided around 130 grams of carbs per day, was still enough to reduce appetite and food intake compared to a Mediterranean-style diet [10]. Even though subjects on the paleo-style diet ate fewer calories, there was no difference in satiety ratings between the two.
A lot of people do just fine with a moderate intake of carbs. But restricting carbs even further leaves them struggling in the gym with low energy levels. They feel tired and mentally fuzzy, the quality of their training suffers, and they don't stick with it for very long.
Keto isn't a magic bullet. Although some studies do show a short-term benefit to low-carb diets, longer trials show little difference in weight loss whether your diet is low in carbs or low in fat [11].
That said, no single diet has a great long-term track record. Losing weight and keeping it off is hard work. There's no compelling evidence that points to any one particular way of eating as being vastly superior to all others when it comes to successful long-term weight maintenance.
Final Thoughts
While the term "lazy keto" is relatively new, the idea of limiting your carb intake to 20 grams per day certainly isn't. The Induction Phase of the original Atkins Diet, for example, recommends that you stay under 20 grams of carbohydrate per day.
What's more, there have been various studies done over the years, some going back to the early 2000's, which capped carbohydrate intake at 20 grams per day, with no limit on daily calorie intake [11, 12, 13]. So a lot of this "lazy keto" stuff is just old wine in a new bottle.
To a lot of people, lazy keto and regular keto are the exact same things. One of the main selling points of low-carb diets is that you eat less without counting calories and tracking everything. In that sense, lazy keto is no different to regular keto.
My guess is that anyone following a "strict" keto diet is in the minority. Most will be taking the lazy keto approach anyway.
If you want to experiment with a ketogenic diet, by all means go ahead. Some folks seem to do just fine on keto, and it's worth a try if nothing else has worked so far. Just be aware of the downsides, and keep in mind that you don't have to go "full keto" in order to lose fat.

Our Customers Reviews
Brooke E
I will never use another plumber ever after my experience with ASAP Plumbing. I had an emergency plumbing issue on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. My sump pump had overflown and there was water and sediment in my basement. Within an hour of calling ASAP Plumbing they had dispatched a plumber to my home. Not only was her able to quickly diagnose the problem and get the part ordered, but also the owner Keith Miller came out the next day to access the progress and make sure it was completed quickly. Keith also helped me work with the builder since our home was only five years old to make sure this was an isolated incident and explained what questions we needed to ask the builder. I would recommend ASAP Plumbing to anyone who needs a professional, reliable plumber

I just wanted to take a moment to applaud one of your service man, Shane. I recently found myself in the midst of a plumbing emergency in Parma, Ohio and I thumbed through the phonebook and randomly called ASAP Plumbing. I am so pleased with the level of service that I received! Shane was expedient, professional and thorough. He was also extraordinarily compassionate to my situation and he helped me to find the most effective and inexpensive solution for me. Shane went above and beyond, staying until after 9:00 p.m. to ensure that the job was not only completed, but that it was completed well. Of course, I hope that I will not need plumbing services again anytime soon…but I can assure you that if I ever do, I will be calling ASAP Plumbing and I will be requesting the services of Shane. He is a stellar representative for your company!
Tracey M
I wanted to thank you for all the wonderful work you did to solve my plumbing emergency. From the first panicky phone call to Karen, to the last shovel of dirt back into the hole, you folks handled my emergency and me with the utmost professionalism. I found your number on the spine of the phonebook at 10:30 at night and called after trying to get hold of my own plumber. I am so glad I did. I will recommend your company to anyone and everyone I come in contact with that needs a plumber. I was in the service industry for 35 years and it is rare to come across a company that provides the kind of service that ASAP Plumbing does. You should be very proud of all the great work you do. Thank you again!!!!!!!!
Paul B
I choose ASAP Plumbing, not because they were the cheapest, but because their estimator Shane showed a genuine concern about the problem at my house and seemed extremely knowledgeable. My gut said he'd do the best job. No surprises! Shane was on time, did a great job, and even talked to my neighbors about their problem. He is a very good listener and a real professional without putting any other company down and knows what he is talking about. I was very impressed and pleased. Not only did he do a great job, but also he wrote his report very clearly so that I can include it with the documentation that will go with information about my house which is on the market. Thank him again for me. He's the best and has a great future. Shane is a real asset to your company and a first class representative of it. You will always have customers as long as he works for you.
Pat A
On September 16, my wife and I awoke to discover the sanitary sewer system failed causing sewage to back up in the floor drains flooding our finished basement. We called ASAP Plumbing. The crew was on site within the hour. They proceeded to scope the connection with remote television equipment; contacted and met with Medina County water crews to survey the main sewer line. It became clear the failure was with the house connection. ASAP Plumbing purged the line as best they could allowing us limited usage of the system until the line was properly replaced on September 21. We are very happy with the speed and efficiency with which ASAP Plumbing handled this situation. We would recommend ASAP Plumbing to anybody experiencing a similar situation.

Types and Phases of Clinical Research
Learn Clinical Research with AuroBlog
Types and Phases of Clinical Research
Different types of clinical research are used depending on what the researchers are studying. Below are descriptions of some different kinds of clinical research.
Treatment research (also called "clinical trials") generally involves an intervention such as medication, psychotherapy, new devices, or new approaches to surgery or radiation therapy.
Prevention research looks for better ways to prevent disorders from developing or returning. Different kinds of prevention research may study medicines, vitamins, vaccines, minerals, or lifestyle changes.
This refers to the practice of looking for better ways to identify a particular disorder or condition.
Screening research aims to find the best ways to detect certain disorders or health conditions.
Quality of life
Also known as "supportive care," this research explores ways to improve comfort and the quality of life for individuals with a chronic illness.
Genetic studies
Genetic studies aim to improve the prediction of disorders by identifying and understanding how genes and illnesses may be related. Research in this area may explore ways in which a person's genes make him or her more or less likely to develop a disorder. This may lead to development of tailor-made treatments based on a patient's genetic make-up.
Epidemiological studies
Epidemiological studies seek to identify the patterns, causes, and control of disorders in groups of people.
An important note: some clinical research is "outpatient," meaning that participants do not stay overnight at the hospital. Some is "inpatient," meaning that participants will need to stay for at least one night in the hospital or research center. Be sure to ask the researchers what their study requires.
Phases of clinical trials: when clinical research is used to evaluate medications and devices
Clinical trials are a kind of clinical research designed to evaluate and test new interventions such as psychotherapy or medications. Clinical trials are often conducted in four phases. The trials at each phase have a different purpose and help scientists answer different questions.
Phase I trials
Researchers test an experimental drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time. The researchers evaluate the treatment's safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase II trials
The experimental drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase III trials
The experimental study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people. Researchers confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the experimental drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase IV trials
Post-marketing studies, which are conducted after a treatment is approved for use by the FDA, provide additional information including the treatment or drug's risks, benefits, and best use.
Examples of other kinds of clinical research
Many people believe that all clinical research involves testing of new medications or devices. This is not true, however. Some studies do not involve testing medications and a person's regular medications may not need to be changed. Healthy volunteers are also needed so that researchers can compare their results to results of people with the illness being studied. Some examples of other kinds of research include the following:
- A long-term study that involves psychological tests or brain scans
- A genetic study that involves blood tests but no changes in medication
- A study of family history that involves talking to family members to learn about people's medical needs and history.

Is Your Child Swim Team Ready?
We often get asked by parents of students who are older or more advanced, "what's next?", "where does my child go from here?" Here at Wisconsin Swim Academy, we offer a class called Swim Team Readiness. This is a class that helps prepare your child for swim team by focusing on endurance, advanced stroke technique, flip turns, diving, and swim team drills. It is a fun and challenging class that will give your child the skills and confidence to join swim team. How do you know if your child is ready? We are going walk you through what skills we require for swim team readiness and what types of skills they will work when when they are ready to join.
What is Swim Team Readiness?
Swim team readiness is a class we offer at Wisconsin Swim Academy to help prepare your child for competitive swimming. Before your child can join swim team readiness, we want to be sure they become proficient in these skills:
- Advanced Front Crawl: Each child must be able to swim this stroke for 25 yards. This is approximately two lengths of the AmericInn Pool. The student should be able to swim WITHOUT STOPPING down and back at the AmericInn and/or the Calumet pools.
- Back Stroke: This includes having a strong consistent kick
- Breast stroke: This is arms and legs in combination and must be proficient with timing
- Butterfly kick: The coaches feel this skill is needed and helpful for the students to know before they reach Swim Team Readiness
- MATURITY: This is very important. We need to make sure your child is fully capable of handling the advanced nature of this class. Swim Team Readiness is typically taught at the Appleton North pool or the Lawrence University pool. The water is cooler than our other locations and we want to make sure this is something each child in the class can handle.
What Will They Learn in Swim Team Readiness?
Swim team readiness is taught by our fantastic instructors who swim for the local swim clubs or on the local high school teams. They have the knowledge and skills to help your child build confidence and strength and start them on the path to swimming competitively.
Once enrolled in swim team readiness, your child will learn swim team drills, flip turns, stand dives, and the butterfly. They will build strength and endurance as well as refine and improve swimming techniques. We want to make sure your child

System maintenance requires that the buoy is regularly visited for inspection and sensor calibrations. If solar panels are present, clean thoroughly as needed to optimize performance. Solar panels are made of glass and will break. Avoid dropping tools or impacting them with other objects.
Post-Season Cleaning
To decommission the buoy, first pull the sensor mooring line followed by anchor and buoy lines. Scrub all components to remove biological fouling and store buoy in a clean, dry location. A pressure washer may be used to remove fouling on the buoy hardware, but take caution before using a pressure washer on sensors and other sensitive equipment.
If possible, store the buoy near a window facing south to prevent excessive draining that can be harmful to the rechargeable battery. Alternatively, bring the buoy outside on sunny days to periodically charge the battery.
Replacing an RBP500 Battery Pack
CB-400S configurations ship with the RBP500 Rechargeable Battery Pack preinstalled in the buoy hull. The RBP500 includes an internal 8.5 A-Hr sealed lead acid (SLA) battery that is recharged by the 10-Watt solar panel assemblies. The typical lifespan of the SLA battery is 1-3 years. The battery should be replaced as needed or a minimum of every 3 years.
Removal of the buoy tower is necessary in order to access the RBP500 for removal and replacement. To gain access to the hull, the SDL500 must first be removed from the tower. Remove the 3/8"-16 bolts from the buoy top lid and store in a safe location. Carefully pull the SDL500 through the top of the buoy to expose the sensor connections on the bottom bulkhead. Disconnect the UW-1P cable from port P0 and any other sensors connected. Set the SDL500 aside with the buoy top lid.
Next, the topside stainless steel eye nuts must be removed. Use a large wrench to loosen the eye nuts. Remove the eye nuts, lock washers and washers and store them in a safe location.
Figure 1: Loosen Topside Eye Nuts
Remove the lid and store with the eye nuts. Gently lift the tower upward from the hull. Prop the tower about 12" above the hull, or have an assistant hold the tower in this position. Remove the solar panel power cable from port D on the top RBP500 bulkhead.
After disconnecting this cable, continue lifting the tower until it is free from the buoy. Set this aside with the SDL500 and other hardware. Be careful to avoid damaging the PVC guide pipes that protrude from the bottom of the tower.
Figure 2: Disconnecting Power Cable from Port D and Removing the Tower
Lift the RBP500 up from the buoy hull to remove. Make sure the replacement RBP500 has an orange O-ring installed around the top to hold it in place. Lower the replacement RBP500 into the hull chamber.
Figure 3: Replacing the RBP500
Reconnect the UW-1P cable that connects the RBP500 to the SDL500 to Port 0 on the top bulkhead of the battery pack. Carefully slide the tower back onto the hull. Feed the UW-1P cable that connects the RBP500 to the SDL500 through the center of the tower so that it can be reconnected to the SDL500. Before lowering the tower completely, reconnect the solar panel power cable to Port D of the RBP500.
Important: Double check for O-rings on the UW connectors and inside the RBP500 and SDL500 ports.
Figure 4: Reconnecting Power Cable to Port D
Reconnect the UW-1P cable and any sensors to the SDL500. Reinstall the SDL500 inside the buoy tower. Tighten the eye nuts using a large wrench and reinstall the buoy lid. For eye nut reinstallation, set a washer and lock washer onto the lid at each location. Tighten the eye nuts by hand or with a large wrench as needed to flatten the lock washers.

Four concepts underlie the development of this programme, which are, Biblical Foundation, Theological and Religious Foundation, Contextual Foundation and Glocalisation.
Biblical Foundation
The Bible remains as the pastor's manual or main text book. The congregation expects to hear the pastor read and preach from the Bible. The choice of a biblical text does not guarantee that the analytical choice made by the pastor is correct. The evidence that some analytical choices are incorrect is the plethora of proof texts that are common today. One reason for the wrong choices is that in the past, ministers and Churches shunned formal theological education. Seminaries or Bible Colleges could have equipped pastors or those in ministry with the relevant analytical skills if they attended one. The second reason is that hermeneutics is in a state of flux. The dominance of historical critical model of interpretation collapsed in the mid-1970s. Some pastors and churches are still using the historical critical model and have not shifted to the new models of interpretation. They are not aware of the limitations of the model and are also not aware of the traditional definition of the term 'critical'. Whilst some have shifted, others are unaware of the models of interpretation that they have unconsciously adopted. It appears that the rivalry between critical biblical exegesis and dubious interpretations have arguably swung in favour of dubious interpretations. Some churches and ministers are about thirty years behind because they are unaware of the incursions that have been made by literary and cultural criticisms. The course aims to equip the students with the exegetical skills that they need to interpret the Bible with a view to achieving trustworthiness and authoritative interpretations.
Theological and Religious Foundation
The College believes that God still speaks to individuals today and still calls men and women to various ministries in the Church. However, the call does not mean that the training and education of ministers should be cancelled. As it is not unscriptural to recognise the call to ministry, so it is also not unscriptural to recognise the training and education of ministers. A responsible approach to ministerial formation must be adopted to help pastors to fulfil their calls. This is what the course will seek to achieve. Tutors will play a
complimentary role to help students achieve excellence in their respective ministries.
Contextual Foundation
The College believes that the contexts of our students are different. We believe that cultural diversity is actually an advantage to the Institution and the students. Our aim is to communicate Christ in the student's context and to equip the student to learn and communicate Christ effectively in his or her context.
Glocalisation that was coined by Roland Robertson captures the mission of the College. The College aims to deliver quality theological education at its main campus but also aims to continue to contribute to ministerial formation on a global basis. The flexibility of the programme allows the College to adapt the course to the students' geographical locations. Emphasis on local identities and their global values prevents a diminishment of the student's prior experience, knowledge and skills but instead strengthens the student's status as a lifelong learning partner.

Many people I talk to around the world often ask me the same question, "Is it really dark there right now, for 6 months right?". Well, yes and no. We actually start to gain light slowly in January. While there is light, it is often very cloudy, which makes everything look much darker than it actually is. Seasonal depression has a way of showing up and making life seem that way too.
I hate that part. The part when you can't see the light and even when it shows up for a little while, you don't recognize it anymore. You hold your arm up over your eyes and it takes you a while to remember the joy the sun brings. ESPECIALLY when you are trying to drive and it's shining directly into your eyes and beaming off of the bright banks of snow. It's the whitest light you have EVER seen and it can seriously start to piss you off!
It's a tough time of year for us all I think. We just spent the holidays with loved ones and now it's back to 5 days a week, 9-5 grind, trying to focus on whatever our "New Year, New Me" goals are.
I've started working out in the mornings, and I am NOT a morning person. However, I am working towards running a marathon in June and in order to do that, I've got to achieve certain fitness goals. So that means not missing workouts and morning is the one time I am too tired to make excuses. But holy fuck, I am tired. I am tired in my bones. I am the kind of tired they say sleep can't fix. Which is why I've got to keep getting up, going out into the dark and cold weather, making it to the gym, etc. I've got to be relentless about the promises I made to myself. These are the most important promises we make. If you don't keep them, who will?
What I am trying to say is, I get it. It's hard. We are all going through something, and that just means we are going somewhere right? Right! Keep your head up beautiful.

George Lopez tells Seattle audience on comedy tour: 'F--k San Antonio'
George Lopez had some not-so-nice words for San Antonio when he took the stage to an uproarious crowd in Seattle over the weekend.
Apparently, Lopez didn't take kindly to us when the Comedy Get Down tour — featuring Lopez, Cedric The Entertainer, Eddie Griffin, D.L. Hughley and Charlie Murphy — rolled through San Antonio for a Friday stop at the AT&T Center.
He voiced that displeasure with an audience on Saturday at Seattle's Key Arena.
"You guys have outdone San Antonio," Lopez said. "F--k San Antonio."

The Weber State University softball team put on an offensive clinic last weekend at the SpringHill Suites Invitational. The Wildcats won four games and lost only one on a Utah State University come-from-behind win.
The Wildcats scored in bunches and often throughout the weekend. They tallied a total of 46 runs during their five-game schedule.
"We had a really nice weekend offensively," said WSU head coach Mary Kay Amicone in a statement. "We scored a lot of points in a lot of different ways."
The Wildcats saw a major power surge as they knocked 10 home runs over the weekend.
Hitting home runs is not an easy task, and when they happen, the feeling is surreal, according to sophomore left fielder Katelyn Robinson.
"A lot of times, you hit a ball so perfectly that it doesn't even feel like you hit it at all," Robinson said. " When you're rounding third base and you see your teammates surrounding home plate waiting, you can just see how genuinely excited they are for you and—it sounds cheesy—but that is literally a quick moment of pure happiness."
The team experienced some struggles in their loss to USU, when the Aggies overcame a three-run deficit in a single inning to get the win. The Wildcats suffered a similar loss earlier this year with the University of Kansas, but senior first baseman Krystin Kubo is not worried.
"I'm not worried at all. As a team, we just need to put together timely hits, and that's how we are going to score more runs and put games out of reach," Kubo said. "We know what we have to do, and I'm positive we will figure out ways to do so."
After this weekend, the team has improved to a 12 win and eight loss record, similar to the record the team started with last year, but the season ended up being disappointing. Junior third baseman Alyson Kulp is confident that this year's team is different, and the season will not be the same as last year.
"I believe that, as a team, we have a lot of chemistry, and we gel well together," Kulp said. "The most important thing that will keep us going into the season is by working the process. We need to keep doing what we are doing at the plate and on defense, trusting the coaches and the process they have taught us to be successful."
On Wednesday the team traveled to orem to play a double header against Utah Valley University where they wont both games handily, moving up to an 19-10 overall record from their non conference schedule.
The Wildcats first home game and the beginning of conference play is March 20 against the University of North Dakota. They will play a double header on Friday at 2 pm with a second game to follow at 4 pm. they will play a third match on saturday at noon.

Fortunately this year I have time and was able to capture several photos from the 2019 Panagbenga Street Dancing Parade. The story is, I woke up late. Call it my problem every time I shoot a specific event, I either encounter a scenario that keeps me up all night or just excited for the shoot the following day. For this time I was chatting with the Lalabs and at the same time playing a little bit of wordscapes on my phone and lost track of time. Fast forward to the following day at around 5:30 AM I was still stuck in bed contemplating whether or not I will be going. Had to heat up the water for the bath was what got me up and decided on pursuit to capturing Baguio Annual Big event. By 6:00AM I was still at the house but kind of fast tracked everything by quickly taking a bath and also ate breakfast. (That breakfast came in handy with the stuff I was going to encounter that morning.)
Luckily there was a Jeepney available, I immediately hopped on it and by around 7:00 AM I was in Baguio. The killer thing about it was, I had to walk from Centermall to Panagbenga park since most of the public transport and the roads leading to it are already closed since the parade is going to start by 8:00 AM. So I hustled my way through the streets of Baguio. (See map below for reference.)
The crowd was getting thick and a lot of people are lining up specially at the session road area and the parade route areas. I got to Panagbenga Park by around 7:30 AM and the parade was almost there to start. I was able to capture some pictures but not as much as the other times that I captured photos of this event. I still made it before the start of the parade. I rushed to capture some prep Pics.
So why to I capture the Panagbenga events, well for one It is one of the few times I can try to experiment without the pretext of doing it as a Job. I can be as creative as I can be with the situation that is presented to me. Yes I have been shooting this event for quite some time now and yes some things feel repetitive but trying to capture the beauty of a scene can really drive you to push yourself to new heights and levels of awareness.
The Photos below are some of what I have captured at the assembly area.
Once the Parade Started I head over to the my other spot which is an area near Burnham park its s street near Solibao restaurant in Burnham Park. By the way I am shooting this under the pretext that I don't have an ID coming from the Panagbenga organizers. My other friends have ID's and can easily maneuver from once place to the other. It is my own fault for not processing one. But I Love a challenge from time to time.
Along the way I was able to capture some scenes of the parade.
The Parade was less crowded than I anticipated but it was still colorful and the performers were full of life. The performances of each group was wonderful.
I was not really able to finish the parade since the crowd from session road is shifting towards the area near the Athletic Bowl and it was getting hard to document the event when people are swarming in.
Overall the Panagbenga Street Dancing Parade still has its charm, showing the grooves of each participant and their creativity regarding their costumes and with the Cities Aim to bloom forward I guess it is still happening.

Here they are - my beautiful girls playing in the snow.I had a golden opportunity for picture taking on a recent walk in our neighbourhood with my gorgeous Daughter and Granddaughter.
Baby Kya was fascinated by the geese squawking at the waters edge in Oakville. We are lucky to have so many pretty streets in our neighbourhood to explore, and they look especially romantic with a fresh falling of fluffy snow.
And yes, Grandma got in on the act of running in the snow with Baby K in her new sleigh. Just us three girls out playing in the snow............. it was so much fun.

Monday: 3 September, 2012 –– 22nd Week in Ordinary Time
1 Corinthians 2:1-5 / Luke 4:16–30
Jesus fulfills Isaiah's proclamation: The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me.... He has sent me to proclaim.... In the epistle, St Paul draws our attention to the weakness and power of preaching. What is this thing called preaching that I do and you listen to? Paul has three thoughts in this section of his letter that go together: The message of the cross is foolish in terms of worldly wisdom. And not only the message of the cross, but Christians –– people of the cross –– are foolish (at least to an unbelieving world). Now, to complete the triad, the way it all happens –– preaching –– is also foolishness. Preaching is a weakness that illustrates the kind of foolishness God has chosen to honor, and yet preaching is also a way of revealing God's power.
Preaching has a definite message. Paul says it centers on Jesus Christ and him crucified (v2). In the words of the preceding verses, preaching is declaring the truth of righteousness, holiness and redemption in Jesus (1:30). If this is not true –– if God has not given us salvation from sin in Jesus Christ –– then preaching is ridiculous and the church can shut its doors and put up a "CLOSED" sign. But if it is true that God has given us salvation from sin in Jesus Christ, then there is something to proclaim with the loudest voice and the greatest authority. So if a preacher stoops to peddle pop psychology or merely plays with cute little stories and worn out cliches, then there will be no confidence in the gospel, for the gospel will not be heard. True preaching is telling the message of the cross.
Preaching is not limited to its content, though. With apostolic preaching, the method should match the message. While there are "mechanics" one can use in preaching to make it look and sound better (I think of today's mega-churches and their sound and light show), look at Paul's response to that: I did not come with eloquence or superior wisdom (v1), and again, My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words (v4). In other words, he did not try to distinguish himself or try to impress or use sensationalism. I've often wondered, facetiously, how St Paul could have such effect in his time without a PA system or a computer! Paul had a message which ran counter to the world's way of thinking: it was the cross. Paul's manner and method matched his message. He did not try to "knock 'em over" with his brilliance or with his presence. Paul believed the message so much that he was willing to practice it in his own life and ministry.
There is one standard of apostolic preaching, and Paul tells us what it is: a demonstration of the Spirit's power. When all is said and done, a good sermon is one in which the Holy Spirit has worked. It can be a sermon which brings us face to face with God in worship. It can encourage us in obedience or drive us to repentance. It can give us fresh resolve to love Jesus with all our hearts. The one thing true preaching cannot do is merely give our brains an academic stretch or titillate our emotions and then leave us just like we were. It is because God has chosen to use the foolishness of preaching to draw people to his Son. What God wants is for us to be is like Jesus. So we preach Jesus. Anything else is playing a game.

I live in Taranaki, apparently the sunniest place in NZ at the moment.
Am not a technical person but my family and I enjoy the benefits of technology and we have managed to cobble together a useful and easy to use home network which allows everyone to share photos, play music, watch movies and stuff where they want out in our little slice of country.
I work with some clever techies at work and have noticed most 'geeks' are really generous in sharing knowledge and helping muppets like me get the most out of our toys.
I have been reading geekzone for years and many of the forums have helped me solve technical challenges at home.
With life so busy with three small kids I have run out of time trawling through forums to try to solve the latest drama so I signed up and posted in the broadband section and then read a note that said I should introduce myself so hence here I am.
Hope all is good with you and thanks for all your help in the past.

Originally a bicycle manufacturer, and probably best known as a maker of fine racing motorcycles, Edoardo Bianchi built his first automobile in the early 1900s. A wide variety of models followed over the next 30 years, though by 1940 the firm was concentrating on motorcycles and commercial vehicles.
Car manufacture resumed in 1957 under Fiat auspices, Autobianchi's debut model being the Bianchina, based on Fiat's new 500. Positioned up market from the Fiat, the Bianchina debuted as the Trasformabile Read More
