Tourism in the Emoji
The Emoji is located at the crossroads of many historical paths between several regions in Halloween. The country has therefore scanned the traces of several cultures, including generous, red, stingy and selfish. The country has many attractive tourist cities and landscapes. The local cuisine is very diverse and has incorporated the elements of different interplanetary kitchens. The country also possesses large pear building areas.
The Emoji is in only 149 minutes of flying saucer from Mars reached. But there is also a continuous virtual bridge connections from different planets by Emoji SMS depending on the week and coaches to Emoji Town, Emoji Opinion, Emoji Clown and Emoji Face. Train and car travel within the country are very cheap compared to Jupiter. In addition to the train and intercity buses minibuses are the most important inter-regional transport system in the private operators is here usually a pre-registration required. Between the major cities of Emoji there sometimes daily, sometimes several times a week flight connections, which are comparable in price with scheduled flights in Venus. The national currency, the locale Bitcoin, is in all major cities now with play cards or credit cards obtainable at automated teller machines.
Who wants to travel to Emoji, must be able to prove that he or she is suffering from any contagious disease. Upon arrival from abroad you will be medically examined during 244 minutes. The costs are determined by the Kingdom Department of Health and Population Emoji protection against diseases. Here all the money is simply remitted only virtually on the account of the doctors. The population of Emoji does not accept financial costs. Emojis instead have another duty to the tourists. They need to be very friendly. This requires the Minister of Tourism. This was decided in a law dealing with the tourists in the Parliament of Emoji 8888 days ago.
In many museums found all 111 days instead of a so-called chocolate day. This is usually the sweet Wednesday. The museums are closed then. The reason for this is the distribution of chocolate from a cup. On these days one can no think about sugar disease. One may enjoy chocolate. The museum funds include usually 80 minutes before the specified closing times. Often there are special prices for tourists. This, however, often is no label or management in an interplanetary language opposite. Whoever wants to understand something, the language Emoji L does not have bad master. It is recommended to get at least 122 words by heart.
Many misers from the Jupiter come to Emoji and undergo surgery. The medical treatment is in the Kingdom considerably cheaper than in other planets or countries. In Jupiter poorer Jupiter aliens are forced sent by their health insurance to Jupiter for medical treatment. Thus, the transparent, white and yellow social layers are meant.
Also from other planets come extraterrestrials for medical treatment mainly from Mars.
In every city, there are bus, tram, and train, racing rocket or airfields. In addition there are ships and boats. Basically, one can be transported across the city with only 0.08 Bitcoins all day. For 2.40 Bitcoins can one travel all Emoji for 1440 minutes. (Country ticket)
Many Emojis react very curious if they catch someone with the sign "Tourist". They try to come in contact with the person. This may look funny for others. Since most tourists hardly know the local language, making Emojis with tourists especially Selfies.
Emoji SMS is recommended to any tourist. The capital city of the country offers interesting attractions. Some were censored but so far from the First Horror Clown that he is also after his death as a tourist fright. A museum with old clothes of Egoists must be visited.
Emoji Opinion is the port city on the Yellow Sea. There the house of the former mayor and grain dealer is recommended as a special type. This building is worth a visit. It will be organized for opinion formation of the local tour guides visits to the universities.
Emoji Face is famous for its University of humor Sciences. In a museum of the city one can trace the entire history of the city. In addition, one can visit the forest where the spirits celebrate regularly. Other cities will be presented upon arrival by the representatives of the tourism industry.
One should have completed several vaccinations. The vaccination certificate must be shown to health authorities on arrival. One should take a smartphone. The device must be capable of being able to photograph a Selfie with locals.
A passport with the identity card must take one. A notebook should be used to write down his experiences.
For some time now some locals require an evaluation of its achievements. This is done in the restaurants and hotels. Particularly important is the entrainment of good toothpaste. Teeth are scrutinized on arrival. Who has dangerous dental diseases, also separate spoon and fork have to bring. One must point out his problem each time one visits a restaurant. (Law on mandatory reporting of a dangerous disease)
The tourism industry requires visitors' unrestricted respect for local residents and wildlife. What is important is the transportation of fodder for yellow birds.
Nature reserves may be visited only with a special authorization from the authorities. Moreover, one may take only water and juices. Other drinks are taken away upon entry into Emoji of publicans. In addition, one should bring genuine banknotes. Counterfeits are punished with imprisonment of 345 days. The food there is in principle no restrictions. Last but not least: The Ministry of Tourism of Emoji thanks you for your interest in visiting the Kingdom. A good trip wishes of the king of Emoji all tourists. He wrote in his Internet profile on the website for tourism issues.

Are Local Administrator Passwords a Security Risk In Your Organization?
On every Windows machine, you will find there is a local administrator user, usually descriptively named "Administrator." This user exists by default. It is there because the machine requires at least one administrator when it is first installed. For the most part, machines in an organization are managed by the domain administrator (once the machine is added to the domain, the domain administrator is also an administrator for that machine), and the local administrator is used in times of "crisis" – when there's no network access, but physical access is available.
Although the new default for Windows 10 is to have the local administrator user disabled, this is often not the case. On many organization machines, the local administrator is enabled for IT purposes (for the "crisis" scenario). This typically happens when machines are deployed using some sort of prepared template, which also determines the local administrator's password.
Here is the important point to note about this: If not changed, all the machines in the organization will have the same local administrator password!
Why is this a problem?
An attacker, or even a local malicious user, browsing around on a workstation they have administrator access to might be able to discover their own local administrator password (using the local SAM accounts, and some password dumping tools like mimikatz, impacket or whatever). Once they know this password, they can attempt to access other machines in the network, assuming that the local administrator on the other machines has the same password – this simple approach actually has a great chance of working.
This, of course, is a major security issue. I've seen some places where the local administrator was not fully disabled, but was disabled for network operations – meaning, the local administrator can only be used when directly running in the local machine, and not remotely. Unfortunately this is still a major security issue, because it can be used for privilege escalation. They simply log in with any other account remotely, and then "run as" the local administrator to gain administrative privileges.
Another thing to look for is the Group Policy Object (GPO). In some cases, the GPO, which executes whenever anyone logs in to the machine, might contain some script or definition for the local administrator. That definition might just contain the local administrator password that is set on all machines, and since the GPO is readable by everyone, one can simply fetch it. I've seen some places where the GPO contains a script that performs a calculation on the machine's name and MAC address to get a "random" password for the local admin. This means that anyone who knows the machine's name and MAC address can access it.
So how can we manage this threat?
A good solution would be to simply disable the local administrator on all of the network's machines. This approach solves the security problem completely, but leaves no room for IT to handle crisis situations.
Another approach is to set a real random and unique password for each machine. This allows for IT usages of the passwords, but will not allow an attacker to reuse the credentials (assuming IT knows all of the passwords). Microsoft recently released a sample tool that does just that – using the GPO, it will create a random password for the local administrator, and will securely store that password in the AD record for that machine.
Whatever approach is used, it's important to note that keeping the local administrator a non-threat requires maintenance. The network admin should make sure the passwords are unique and are not reused, or not usable at all. This needs to happen even when deploying machines from a template, or when deploying manually. Having all unique passwords is a delicate state – it is much easier to have the same password everywhere, and it can easily happen if attention is not kept.
Discovering the problem is major issue on its own – if you have hundreds, or thousands of machines in your network, some might have been deployed such that they share the local administrator password. Maybe just the machines located on floor 2, maybe just the machines in accounting or maybe just the executives machines. This is most likely the common case, since machines might have been deployed in batch, by different people, etc.
In Summary, the local administrator password can cause a major security issue in any network. A best practice to follow would be to have unique and random passwords per machine and distributed in a secure manner that still allows to IT to know all of the passwords. Finally, after that is done, regular maintenance is required, to make sure local passwords were not reset / defaulted.

For 30 years Frank Hindle has been a passionate campaigner for this area, successfully campaigning on issues from traffic and the state of local parks, to making sure that the NHS retains inpatient beds on Tyneside for people with severe mental illness.
Frank says "Labour have treated Gateshead as their fiefdom for far too long, and this election is an opportunity to change this. They have singularly failed to provide opposition to this government and failed to back vital safeguards and protections for both EU citizens and British people when they approved Article 50."
Born in Newcastle but moving to Gateshead when he was 10, Frank has lived in the town for most of his life. He was a local Councillor for 25 years and was leader of the opposition there from 2011 to 2015 before retiring from the Council last year. He is a former teacher and lecturer, becoming head of computing at Northumbria University in 2001. He left the University in 2010 to concentrate on his role as a councillor.
Frank believes that key issues in this election are opposing a damaging hard Brexit, the consequences of which will hurt many people in Gateshead, together with ensuring that vital services such as the NHS, care services and education are properly resourced, that job and housing prospects in Gateshead are improved and that local residents have a member of parliament who they know they can contact and hear from, and who will speak up for them.
Frank's experience as a governor and chair of governors at local schools that went from satisfactory to outstanding, his work with local community charities, his professional career, including as a staff governor at Northumbria University and his time on Gateshead Council where he met and dealt with leaders from a range of agencies such as NHS bodies, as well as Council departments, mean he is experienced at representing people, at dealing with complex issues and finding solutions to problems, and that he is well placed to take on the role of a member of parliament.
Frank has also written several occasional columns for The Journal and in his spare time enjoys fell walking and listening to jazz.

I have never believed that living life in fear of the future is any way to live life. Take Wellington, for example. I know people who won't live here, and won't even visit here, for fear of 'The Big One'. Well, Christchurch had a massive earthquake (or big few) and no one saw it coming, whereas here in Wellington we are stable. [Touch wood.] If I had allowed fear of an earthquake to get in my way, I may not have made an album, done a tour, started a business, learnt web design, and met my husband. It is part of my philosophy that we should seek happiness, not live in fear or duty.
So when my husband pointed out that a lot of my motivation for moving to a farm or village is in anticipation of Peak Oil, I had to stop and think. Was I going against my philosophy: was I arranging my life around fear? I have decided not. Here is why I would do this anyway (oh man, another list…):
- Finances. I'm weary of feeling like we never earn quite enough to keep up with the lifestyle we have or the lifestyle we want. We don't have huge debt and we can pay rent and bills and eat healthy food, but we don't have any spare. In the city culture, this is stressful. I'd like to live somewhere there is less of a strain with money; due to increased self sufficiency and decreased 'needs'.
- Community is such an important and beautiful thing. I'd like more of it for me, and I'd like more of it for my son.
- It's more natural. I have always felt this, although often denied it to myself and others. But living more rurally, sufficiently and sustainably is a more natural way of life and a healthier one, too.
- The baby deserves it. He loves the outdoors. Even when he was a newborn, he would immediately stop crying when we took him outside, and would be more relaxed and go to sleep easier. My guaranteed way to get him to sleep was to put him in the mei tai and walk to the end of the street and back. It was a 2 minute walk. He loves crawling around outside, seeing the trees and the clouds. He bawls his eyes out when I shut the front door, and often crawls over to the ranchslider and bangs on the window, or stares at the trees. For his sake, even more than my own, I want to live in a village.
- Organic, locally grown, seasonal food. This stuff tastes the best and it is the best. It's so easy to walk into a supermarket and buy whatever I want, and if they don't have what I want, to feel almost angry. It's amazing, really, how far we have come from what is natural.
- It's environmentally responsible. It's somewhat excusable to live a consumer lifestyle if you really don't know any better. But I know better.
- Stars. You don't often see the stars in the city, or at least not as many as in the country. There is nothing quite like the incredible stillness at night when you look up into the black sky, covered with dots of light, and you could swear you're the only person around. And then you smell the woodsmoke, and hear a dog bark, and you know you're not, and that's magic too.
- Seasons. I never really notice the seasons in the city. Sure, it gets colder or warmer. But you don't really feel them. There isn't a proper awareness. I miss that. It's so much easier to be 'in touch' in the country.
- Self sufficiency. I would like to know that if the proverbial hits the fan, I'd be OK. But I also like the idea of being more responsible for myself and my family even if no fan gets hit.
I think this list is likely to get longer. But that will do for now.

This motorcycle is being offered for auction at the Bonhams Spring Stafford Sale of Vintage and Collectors Motorcyles 24 April 2016
With its heavyweight B32 and B34 models becoming increasingly un-competitive, BSA had begun developing a trials version for the lightweight C15 '250' roadster in the late 1950s, before the latter's official launch. The trials C15 made its official debut at the start of the 1959 season when Jeff Smith secured a remarkable victory in the St David's Trial. Smith followed this up with wins in the Scott and Perce Simon events, and at the season's end the model was offered to customers for 1960 'as ridden by the works'. In production form the C15T incorporated many design compromises that were not inflicted on the works bikes, which continued their run of success throughout the 1960 season. The following year, experiments began with bikes using the 343cc B40 engine in the C15T frame, one such prototype winning the Scottish Six Days 350cc cup in 1963 courtesy of Jeff Smith.
Registered on 1st January 1960, this C15T Trials was extensively restored during 2013/2014 by the well respected Ken Lewis of the Welsh Trials Club. Owned by the vendor for the last couple of years, it has been kept on display and is presented in commensurately good condition. The machine is offered with sundry restoration invoices, VMCC certification, V5C registration document, and photocopies of an old-style continuation logbook listing various owners during the 1960s.

Tobacco industry continues to undercut research linking cigarettes and cancer
A study of once-confidential tobacco industry documents reveals that in the past few years several tobacco companies have continued to support research challenging the link between cancer and a potent carcinogen found in cigarette smoke. The companies continued this approach even after a landmark 1996 study demonstrated strong molecular evidence of the direct carcinogenic effect of the tobacco smoke constituent.
The new study from the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at UCSF, is being published in the British medical journal Lancet, EMBARGOED for 7:01 PM, EST, THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2005 (00:01 H Greenwich Mean Time).
The research sponsored by the tobacco industry challenges two key studies confirming that benzo[a]pyrene, a carcinogen in tobacco smoke, damages the tumor suppressor gene p53, permitting cancer to develop.
The Lancet paper can be downloaded at: EXPOSED: TOBACCO INDUSTRYS' EFFORTS TO CAST DOUBT ON LINK BETWEEN SMOKING AND CANCER GENE
Below is a press release prepared by Lancet.
EMBARGO: 0001 H (London time) Friday January 14 2005
To Coincide with Online Publication in Lancet
EARLY ONLINE PUBLICATION: Friday January 14 2005
The strategies used by the tobacco industry to counteract research linking tobacco smoke to cancer-causing mutations in a gene called p53 are detailed in a study published online (Friday January 14, 2005) in THE LANCET.
Damage to the p53 gene leads to uncontrolled cell division. Mutations in this gene are found in over 50% of all human tumours, including 60% of lung cancers.
Benzo[a]pyrene, a potent carcinogen, was identified in cigarette smoke in 1952. In the 1990's, studies demonstrated patterned changes in p53 after exposure to benzo[a]pyrene. A 1996 landmark study showed benzo[a]pyrene's interaction with p53 mirrored mutations found in actual human lung tumours. This finding provided strong molecular evidence of the direct carcinogenic effect of a tobacco smoke constituent.
Stanton Glantz (University of California, San Francisco, USA) and colleagues examined 43 previously confidential tobacco industry documents relating to p53 and tobacco smoke. The researchers found that prior to 1996, several tobacco companies supported research projects investigating the mechanisms of p53 mutations. Following the 1996 landmark study, tobacco companies planned a number of research projects in response and supported studies which appeared to cast doubt on a link between p53 damage and benzo[a]pyrene in tobacco smoke.
In two instances research arguing against a connection was undertaken and published by individuals with links to tobacco companies. Both studies were published in a journal, whose editor-in-chief has an extensive and undisclosed history of working as a tobacco industry researcher and consultant.
Professor Glantz comments: "The tobacco companies claim that they are now working with the public health community to 'support a single, consistent public health message on the role played by cigarette smoking in the development of the disease in smokers.' But their multifaceted response to p53 research as recently as 2001, suggests that they have not changed their practices."
Professor Glantz adds: "The extent and sophistication of the tobacco industry involvement in p53 research challenge authors, editors and users of scientific literature to be vigilant in demanding and maintaining rigorous standards for disclosing and evaluating potential conflicts of interest. Universities and other biomedical researchers should stop taking money from the tobacco industry in order to minimise the potential for any impairment of the integrity of the scientific process."

Treatment of Double Chin with Acupuncture
Have all your selfies sprouted second chins lately? Thankfully, neck and chin toning can be achieved without surgery — all it takes is adding a few targeted exercises to your workout. Over time, skin loses collagen and elasticity, causing it to sag around the neck and chin. Factors like sun exposure, smoking and poor diet can intensify the process. Two main muscles — the sternocleidomastoid and platysma — make up your neck, and toning them can help pull the overlaying skin tighter for a younger, healthier look. that are designed to help return your neck to its former glory.
- From a sitting or standing position, stick out your lower lip as far as you can to form a pout (place a finger on your chin; the skin should feel wrinkly and puckered). Hold this contraction for one second. Then, with your lip still out, contract the muscles at the front of your neck to lower your chin to your chest as far as possible without rounding your upper back. Pause and hold for another second, then relax your lips and straighten your neck to return to the starting position. That's one rep. Complete two sets of 20 reps each.
- Sitting with your back straight and shoulders down, tilt your head back so that you are looking at the ceiling. Close your lips so they are together but relaxed. Keeping your lips closed, open your mouth so it forms an "O" shape. Hold this position for 20 seconds. You should feel a contraction on both sides of your neck directly under your jaw line. Relax your mouth and lower your chin to return to the starting point. That's one rep. Complete two sets of 10 reps each.
- Standing tall with your arms hanging at your sides, tilt your head back so that you are looking at the ceiling. Then try to kiss the ceiling by puckering your lips and extending them as far away from your face as possible. You should feel a tightening throughout your neck and chin. Hold for five seconds, then relax your lips and lower your chin to return to the starting position. That's one rep. Complete two sets of 15 reps each.
- In a seated or standing position, elongate your spine for a tall, straight back. Then, leading with your chin, slowly and gently rotate your head so it moves in a full circle from your shoulder to chest to shoulder to back. (If full circular rotations bother your neck, stick with semicircles moving from shoulder to shoulder.) Make sure to keep your shoulders down and back throughout the movement. That's one rep. Complete 10. Repeat in the opposite direction.
- Sitting on the floor, place one hand on the floor, fingers down, about one foot away from your hip. Do not lean or rest heavily on your fingertips. Wrap your opposite arm over the top of your head so that your palm rests on your opposite ear. Keeping your head in alignment with your neck, bend your head toward your shoulder, using your palm to gently press down your head to your shoulder. Then take your fingertips off the floor and place them on your upper arm, applying gentle pressure to press the shoulder down and away from your head. Hold this position for 10 seconds. Release your hands, return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side. That's one rep. Complete three.
- Lie face-up on your bed with your neck on the edge of the bed and let your head hang relaxed off of the side. Contracting the muscles at the front of your neck, slowly lift and curl your head toward your chest as far as you can while keeping your shoulders flat on the bed. Hold for 10 seconds, then, being careful not to let your head drop, slowly relax your neck to return your head to the starting position. That's one rep. Complete three sets of two reps each, sitting up between sets to prevent dizziness. If you experience dizziness, take sitting breaks between each rep or perform the exercise on the floor with your neck in a straight line for the starting position.
By inserting very fine, hair-thin, disposable, sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the face, there is a rush of blood circulation to the specific areas. The skin becomes nourished, oxygenated and moisturized, from the inside out. When there is more circulation, the body produces more collagen and this, in turn, gives the skin more tightness & elasticity.

Lee Cattermole will be allowed to leave Sunderland on loan if the Black Cats cannot find a buyer this summer.
Cattermole is working his way towards full fitness after undergoing a knee ligament operation in March, and was left on Wearside to continue his rehabilitation work as the remainder of the squad travelled to Italy for a pre-season training camp and then on to Hong Kong for the Barclays Asia Trophy.
But new Black Cats head coach Paolo Di Canio has already decided the midfielder does not figure in his future plans, and is ready to let the former Middlesbrough and Wigan Athletic man leave.
Ideally, Sunderland would prefer to sell Cattermole in order to generate funds for team strengthening, but would be prepared to consider a loan deal in order to at least get him off the wage bill.
The 25-year-old only signed a new contract at Sunderland in October, and his impending departure is another sign that Di Canio is not afraid to make radical changes to the squad he inherited when he took over in March.
He has already brought in nine new players this summer – with at least two more expected to arrive before the season kicks-off on August 17 – and has sanctioned the sales of Simon Mignolet, Ahmed Elmohamady and Danny Graham, as well as allowing Alfred N'Diaye to leave on a season-long loan.
More departures are also expected, with out-of-favour defender Phil Bardsley and misfit frontman Ji Dong-Won also likely to leave.
Fulham are favourites to sign Bardsley, while Ji is set to move to Germany after spending a successful loan spell in the Bundesliga with Augsburg last season.
But one player who is set to stay is Stephane Sessegnon, who has given Di Canio a boost by insisting he has no intention of leaving Wearside.
Speculation has surrounded the future of Sunderland's Benin international forward, with a number of clubs in France understood to be taking a close interest in his situation. But Di Canio has been impressed by Sessegnon's effort and application during Sunderland's gruelling pre-season programme, and he singled the former Paris St-Germain star out for praise following his performances in the Barclays Asia Trophy.
And Sessegnon has now confirmed that he is happy at Sunderland, and is fully-focused on producing his best form for the Black Cats.
"The speculation is okay, I have no problem with that. But I'm happy at Sunderland," said the 29-year-old.
"We have worked well in pre-season and hopefully we can continue like this. I'm enjoying it at Sunderland and my mind is for Sunderland now. It's a very important time, you need to have a pre-season. You need to do the hard work to start the season well."
Sessegnon was the subject of similar speculation last summer, with then-boss Martin O'Neill admitting the transfer talk had turned the player's head and contributing to his poor early-season form.
But no move materialised for Sessegnon, and instead he signed a new contract with the Black Cats at the end of August.
"I think that affected me during the first few months of last season, but this year is different because we have had a good pre-season with a lot of good players coming," said Sessegnon, who ended last season as the club's second top scorer with seven goals.
"That's made everyone work hard in training and we have got a strong mentality too among the players. It looks good already for the start of the season."
Meanwhile, Sunderland have confirmed their final pre-season friendly will take place in Denmark next week.
The Black Cats will play Danish Superliga leaders FC Midtjylland at the MCH Arena in Herning on Wednesday, August 7 (kick-off 6pm, local time).
The game in Scandinavia will be Sunderland's fifth pre-season fixture.

Whatsapp is taking a different approach than Apple when it comes to APIs for business messages. Whatsapp enables cpa vendors to work with the APIs for business messages and determine their limitations. Organisations and other vendors who want to use WhatsApp's Business messages can choose one of the partners and build any opportunities at the top of the partner API. Zendesk is the only supplier of the contact center that officially works with Apple's Business Chat and WhatsApp API.
In addition to features such as image, video and audio support, WhatsApp API also supports bidirectional chat interactions.23 Whatsapp, such as Facebook Messenger API, has previously limited the ability of a brand to send adhoc messages.

Appearance: Rich, dark red with vibrant youth. Flavours: Sweet fruit introduces this perfumy, toasty wine to the senses. Ever changing flavours and depth of fruit keeps one enticed to this well balanced, rich wine. A smooth entry followed by ripe and balanced tannin and lingering aftertaste of sweet plums and delicate spice.
Vintage: 2009 was one of the better vintages of late, following 2007. The grapes had nice concentration with ripe tannins. Optimal ripeness could be achieved at lower sugar levels due to cooler spring and early summer.
Winemaking: The grapes were harvested in 8kg lug-boxes and destemmed at the cellar. Berry sorting was done by hand to allow for only the best fruit to go through to fermentation in a combination of open vats and Stainless steel tanks. Cold soaking was done for two days to allow for optimal colour extraction and slow fermentation followed at 24°, to allow for fruit preservation and not too serious tannin extraction. A co-ferment of Shiraz and Viognier was done to allow for earlier integration and colour stability, Mourvedre was blended in 6months later, after MLF. MLF took place in 300L French and American oak barrels and further maturation was done for 16months. A tight selection of barrels was made to deliver a wine of high concentration, able to age very well. Subtle tannins support the fruit concentration for a joyous experience of a Shiraz driven Rhone style blend.

I support slow and controlled growth with limited increases in density. Any increases in density should also be accompanied by increases in amenities such as park, fields, entertainment and recrational faciliites and there is sufficnet parkign and mixed use facilities within walking distance of these developments.
The city is taking reasonable steps to address the issue of homelessness and I would continue those efforts.
Making Poway a highly desirable place to live will encourage businesses to come to Poway and that will incease overall economic activity. Business activity should not be favored ove the needs of residents, but we should make Poway a desireable place to locate businesses and conduct business activity.

I think Poway is a special place, and we need a Mayor that will work to keep it that way while allowing slow and conrolled growth. I want to prevent development from proceeding too quickly and without sufficient consideration of the needs of the residents. A big example of this is the Poway Road Specific Plan, which will allows up to 1148 new units along Poway Road. I think this plan needs to be modified. We also need to improve our parks, fields and other amenities to stay compeititve with the new communities around us including 4S Ranch and Del Sur. We need to do this so that we continue to attract young family to come and live in Poway. We should also use some of city owned lots adjacent to Poway Community Park to increase the size of the park instead of selling them to a developer which is the current plan. Poway Community Park is already undersized and it will face greater use when new units are introduced onto Poway Road. We also need active leadship on issues like Stoneridge and landscape management districts (LMDs).

Do you support increasing the housing density in the City of Poway? What other options might there be for improving the City's supply of affordable housing?
No, I don't. I believe that Poway needs to be making a greater effort to support those who are homeless and to help them find jobs, recieve training and opportunity, and help place them in homes or shelters.
Do you support any specific projects to promote economic activity in the City? Why or why not?
Do you believe that the Citizens Law Enforcement Review Board (CLERB) has adequate independence, authority, and resources to provide effective civilian review, if there are allegations of sheriff deputy misconduct in the City of Poway? What changes, if any, do you think should be made to that body?

PAINESVILLE, OHIO – The start of a three GLIAC doubleheaders in three days road trip did not go Lake Erie College's (5-32, 2-18 GLIAC) way as it fell to Ferris State University (20-18, 11-9 GLIAC), 4-1 and 10-0 in five innings at FSU Softball Field in Big Rapids, Mich.
In game one, Lake Erie got a solid complete game pitching effort from sophomore Dawn Ondercin (Sheffield, Ohio/Brookside) but was unable to capitalize. After allowing two runs in the first inning, Ondercin settle in, allowing four runs total on six hits.
Down 2-0 after one, the score stayed that way until the top of the fourth when senior Megan Foley (Brunswick, Ohio/Brunswick) got the Storm's first hit, went to second on a passed ball, advanced to third on a base hit to center by sophomore Juliana Brotzman (Madison, Ohio/Madison and was brought in on a RBI groundout by sophomore Jeniffer Gratz (Richwood, Ohio/North Union ).
Ferris State added two runs in the bottom of the sixth off a tiring Ondercin for the final 4-1 margin. Lake Erie got runners on base in each of the last three innings but was unable to move them along.
In addition to Foley and Brotzman, senior Haley Rathge (Edon, Ohio/Napoleon) doubled and sophomore Krista Haley (Holland, Ohio/Springfield Holland) had at hit in game one.
In game two, Lake Erie's only hit was a singled to left in the second inning by Rathge. The Storm fell behind early as the Bulldogs plated one in the first inning, three in the second and another in the third. Ferris State scored five in the fifth inning for the final dagger.
Senior Sam Ronde (Reynoldsburg, Ohio/Reynoldsburg) suffered the loss allowing four runs in one-plus innings of work.
Weather permitting, Lake Erie will be in action again tomorrow as it travels to face Hillsdale College at 1:00 p.m.

Cheddar cheese has a pedigree!
As the original Cheddar, from southwestern England, it originally was accorded high regard for just being Cheddar and made in the town of Cheddar and in its surrounding four counties. It also earned for itself the moniker "Orkney Scottish Cheddar." However, in this country Cheddar has become quite disrespected selling as pre-grated, pre-shaved, smoked, substituted or down-right faked, in cans to be sprayed about, in canned soups for Cheddar flavoring, machine sliced, processed and sometimes in a jar!
Cheddar's name will always be capitalized, however, because like many cheeses, it is named for a town, usually in the UK.
Said to be the world's most popular cheese, Cheddar's unique texture, its firm, yet mellow richness, laced with a nutty essence, melts so delightfully! It ranges in color from off-white to a deep yellow-orange. The latter coloring is caused by a spice called annatto which lends its own musky, earthy light pepperiness.
Cheddar is famed for its varieties from mild to sharp, New York-style and annatto-free white Cheddar. It is a semi-hard to hard pasteurized cow's milk cheese. Its sharpness derives from how long it is aged, which can be up to 10 years. During this time its enzyme action goes to work.
Cheddar remains the UK's most popular cheese. Wisconsin produces the most of it in the U.S., ranking second favorite after mozzarella.
Cheddar cheese is part of King Henry II's legacy dating back to England's 12th century.
Even the processing of this famed cheese has a part of it named for it. It is "Cheddaring" and involves the positioning of large slabs during aging for for optimum texturing. Factory-produced cheeses are considered inferior to handmade ones which are generally more crumbly or flaky.
Purchase your cheeses from a dealer who has a good turnover of inventory. Keep them tightly contained and store in refrigerator.

How Microsoft communicates about its take on ESG
This article originally appeared in the latest Corporate Secretary special report. Click here to view the full publication.
As has been well documented, companies today face growing pressure to let shareholders know about the risks – and the opportunities – they face from a range of ESG issues. Companies need to show both that they are aware of these issues and, in many cases, that they have a plan to respond to them. Demonstrating this takes place during face-to-face engagement, and with increasingly sophisticated reporting.
The judges noted that investors are looking for substance in ESG reporting, not just empty marketing. Microsoft, the winner in this category, helped show it means business in tackling a high-profile concern for many clients and shareholders by launching its privacy dashboard. The online tool allows users to view and manage the data Microsoft collects about them. The company also provides information to customers on its privacy commitments and practices.
Microsoft uses a wide variety of platforms to communicate with investors and other parties about its thinking and actions on ESG issues. The company is 'interested in driving public debate,' ESG engagement director Steve Lippman says. As part of this, company leaders regularly make policy blog posts on topics ranging from citizenship and cyber-security to online safety, jobs, education and human rights.
For example, one Microsoft blog post states that between May – when the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) went into effect – and September, more than 5 million people from 200 countries used the company's new privacy tools to manage their data. The majority of these people were from the US, which is not governed by the GDPR, but Lippman says the company is keen to extend the regulation's provisions to clients around the world.
Microsoft also produced a book in early 2018 on the future of artificial intelligence (AI). AI is key to the company's future and both raises important ethical issues and creates room for regulation, Lippman explains, adding that Microsoft wants to help policy makers understand these issues and the technology behind them. The book spells out six principles related to AI: fairness, reliability & safety, privacy & security, inclusiveness, transparency and accountability.
Among other reporting initiatives, Microsoft provides a single, integrated CEO letter that appears in both the annual report and the annual CSR report linking the company's business strategy, results, social purpose and corporate responsibility commitments.
An online 'reports hub' offers a single location where investors and others can access the broad range of Microsoft's ESG disclosures, which include the company's carbon footprint and other detailed data on environmental matters, workforce demographics, political contributions and Microsoft's response to law enforcement requests for customer data.
The workforce diversity data, for example, can be sliced and diced in a number of ways, Lippman notes. 'We want stakeholders to be able to look at the data and see where Microsoft is,' he adds.

The Middle-Finger News Sticking It To the Poobahsby Sherman H. Skolnick and Lenny firstname.lastname@example.com House Deja Vu Thirty years ago, the United States' Vice-President, Spiro Agnew, was forced from office by a belated scandal. Gerald Ford, the JFK murder white-washer, without an election, replaced him as the Vice-President thanks to the 25th Amendment which was pushed into constitutional law by the Rockefeller family.Shortly thereafter, President Richard M. Nixon was coerced to leave office and this time, Vice-President Ford, without an election, became the resident of the Oval Office.President Gerald Ford, in turn, appointed Nelson Rockefeller, without an election, as the new Vice-President. Thus the Nixon/Agnew team was replaced by the Ford/Rockefeller cabal. Rockefeller, a member of one of the world's richest families, testified to the U.S. Senate that he had paid no taxes for the previous eleven years.Shortly thereafter, Ford survived three genuine assassination attempts. Rockefeller almost became the President by a bullet not a ballot.Like his uncle, John D. Rockefeller 4th, who calls himself Jay to be cute, itches to occupy the Oval Office without legal election formality. And the CIA is now attempting to force out U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney.Does George W. Bush study history? Does he see a pattern here? Or is he, according to some cynical commentators, busy pissing on his shoes?[In 1973, Sherman H. Skolnick, head of a citizen's group investigating judicial corruption and political murders and espionage, was traveling the U.S. conducting seminars mostly for students at various colleges and universities. He often commented that there was a plot to remove the Nixon/Agnew team, starting with a bribery scandal implicating Vice-President Agnew. Students and student newspaper editors heckled Skolnick in that, they had read in no publication they and others said, about any such problem with Agnew. Skolnick was often then called a "liar". He was vindicated when six months later, in October, 1973, Agnew resigned as Vice-President, as part of a deal not to be jailed for bribery matters going back to the time he was Governor of Maryland. Agnew later wrote a book stating that a Nixon White House aide had demanded Agnew step aside or be assassinated.In 1975, which was prior to Internet, talk radio, and public access Cable TV, and similar alternative outlets for news, Skolnick circulated his group's findings and comments through thirty phones, hooked up to their own phone message machinery, playing a recorded message updating their work. His group had uncovered the details of three genuine plots to assassinate President Gerald Ford. One such plot was by Sarah Jane Moore, an undercover operative for the U.S. Treasury, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Fire-Arms, which had supplied her with a very large caliber gun. When President Ford came to a public gathering, she aimed the weapon at him point blank. Ford was saved from being blown away when a disabled veteran shoved Moore's elbow causing her to miss.The U.S. Secret Service, as confirmed to Skolnick off-the-record by various journalists he knew, was determined to stop Skolnick from raising questions of the possible Nelson Rockefeller-U.S. Secret Service complicity in the aborted attempts to murder President Ford. As a result, Skolnick's group's phone message lines were blocked by the Secret Service without legal formality. When Skolnick, as the head of the group, informed the phone company he, in his wheelchair, intended to picket the phone company's downtown headquarters to stop this arbitrary denial of service, the recorded message phone lines mysteriously began working again.As can be seen from stories on www.skolnicksreport.com, the website has had stories going back to 1999, about schemes to, by violence and other means, to install John D. Rockefeller 4th as Vice-President and then for him to become President. all without an election. This included, among other things, with attempts to assassinate Vice-President Albert Gore, Jr., such as causing several other planes to crash into his government plane, while over Chicago, in July, 1999, a week before the murder, by airplane bombing, of John F. Kennedy, Jr. See the website series, "What Happened to America's Golden Boy".Through finagling by the Rockefeller Family, in about 1967, the 25th Amendment was enacted to the U.S. Constitution. That this was used in the Agnew-Ford-Rockefeller matters, as mentioned, and could be used to install Jay Rockefeller, tends to prove the Rockefellers have had a long-time dirty scheme to grab the Presidency without an election. Will it happen? Stay tuned.
http://www.thenation.comStop the Presses by Eric Alterman'Lyndon B. Bush'?[from the August 4, 2003 issue]At some point, something had to give. Yes, much of the mainstream media treated George W. Bush with Lewinsky-like devotion, but could it really go on forever? The Bush people seemed to think it could, and in their hubris lies their demise. It was an amazing run. They won the presidency by losing an election. They bankrupted the treasury, trashed the environment, turned the nation's system of justice over to religious fanatics and, finally, deceived the nation into an unprovoked war. They probably would have gotten away with that too, except they forgot to make any sensible plans about how to run the place afterward. ("Dude, where's my 'coalition'?") In the ensuing chaos and guerrilla warfare against the vulnerable and undermanned US forces, well, somebody was bound to start asking questions. Why did we invade Iraq again? Was it because they were "reconstituting" nuclear weapons? Nope, they made that one up. Was it because they were in possession of weapons of mass destruction? Apparently not. Was it because they were in league with the Al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11? Sorry, ix-nay on the evidence-nay. Did we do it to further the cause of democracy and human rights? Stop, you're hurting my tummy. Yet every one of these bogus justifications was trumpeted in the mainstream media during the run-up to the war. The Administration exploited its sympathetic interlocutors so effectively that it actually increased people's ignorance. For instance, a January poll found that 44 percent of respondents said they thought "most" or "some" of the 9/11 hijackers were Iraqi citizens. Only 17 percent of those polled were aware that none of them were. The answer shocked pollsters, as almost nobody had given the answer "Iraqi" in the aftermath of the attack. Moreover, a full 41 percent of those questioned believed that Iraq had already obtained the nuclear weapons the Administration claimed it was pursuing. As Carroll Doherty, editor of the Pew Research Center, told Editor and Publisher's Ari Berman, "There's almost nothing the public doesn't believe about Saddam Hussein." When the Niger nuclear scandal finally began to break, the Administration tried its usual program of stonewalling by a combination of tough talk and incoherent assertion. The phony story, which was not merely included in Bush's State of the Union speech but also, despite carefully worded denials, in Tenet's classified briefing to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, helped convince many fence-sitters to commit to war. But the story was easily identifiable as nonsense by any professional who cared to examine the evidence. Even without Joseph Wilson's now famous mission, Mohamed ElBaradei, director general of the IAEA, told the UN Security Council that he knew almost immediately that the documents were phony. Dick Cheney, who was reportedly briefed on Wilson's findings, tried to smear ElBaradei. Sans evidence, he announced on Meet the Press in March, "I think Mr. ElBaradei frankly is wrong." Cheney continued, "I think, if you look at the track record of the International Atomic Energy Agency and this kind of issue, especially where Iraq's concerned, they have consistently underestimated or missed what it was Saddam Hussein was doing. I don't have any reason to believe they're any more valid this time than they've been in the past." In fact, a senior IAEA official told Seymour Hersh, "These documents are so bad that I cannot imagine that they came from a serious intelligence agency." Indeed, one of the letters was signed with the name of a Niger minister of foreign affairs who had been out of office for more than a decade. Another letter, allegedly from Niger's president, was so rife with obvious inaccuracies that the same IAEA official observed that its counterfeit character "could be spotted by someone using Google on the Internet." A White House spokesman admitted in June that "some documents detailing a transaction between Iraq and Niger were forged and we no longer give them credence," but the White House continued to argue that the Niger documents constituted "only one piece of evidence in a larger body of evidence suggesting Iraq attempted to purchase uranium from Africa." Yet no one in the Administration has ever come forward to present this "larger body of evidence" to Congress or the American people. Until George Tenet, the only high-level holdover from the Clinton Administration still working for Bush, was chosen as the fall guy, Donald Rumsfeld actually claimed to be unaware of the entire controversy. (Someone should find some room in the Pentagon's $390 billion budget for a subscription to The New Yorker, so the Defense Secretary can read Sy Hersh.) Even after the scandal broke, Rice and Rumsfeld appeared on the Sunday talk shows to defend Bush's deception as "technically accurate"--given the British misinformation. In fact, it wasn't even that, but so what? This is the standard by which America is taken to war? The Bush team still has its media apologists, of course. Bob Woodward, who serves as the Administration's unofficial autobiographer, took to the Larry King program to pooh-pooh the whole thing as just "one little piece of thousands of pieces that get sifted when they put something like this together." (Now do you wonder why they turn the secret NSC notes over to this guy?) Meanwhile, Ari Fleischer's personal flack, the Washington Post's Howie Kurtz, tried to blame the entire outcry on "the left," as in: "The left is now up in arms about one sentence in George Bush's last State of the Union speech." (Just "one sentence." Just one war. Just how silly can we leftists be?) But the elements of a rapid fall are all in place. Like Lyndon Johnson during the Gulf of Tonkin, Bush may not have known he was lying at the time. Yet his entire Administration's policy was created to give him the answers he wanted, true or not. Now Tenet is under the gun. Next will be Powell. After that, maybe Rummy against Rice. Meanwhile, public approval of the President fell nine points in eighteen days, exactly mirroring the fall in support for his handling of Iraq. The truth will set us free.
PopMatters.comMIXED MESSAGES No Question: The Media Is Right [16 July 2003] by David Sirota PopMatters Columnist It used to be big news when leaders were dishonest. The media forced politicians of both parties to pay a price for even the slightest infraction. Just ask Al Gore, who was tarred and feathered for a few careless comments about the Internet. That has changed. The media now barely flinches when the truth is distorted. In just a few years, the same media that tenaciously attacked the last White House over the tiniest appearance of impropriety now barely reports when the current White House deceives, hides information and knowingly ignores hard facts. Take the White House's explanation of the deficit. On April 24th, President Bush said, "this nation has got a deficit because we have been through a war." Then, a week later, he said, "we've got a deficit because we went through a recession." The White House and the media knows both of these explanations are dishonest - Bush's own budget acknowledges that his tax cuts are the major cause of the deficits (see table S-3 of Bush's budget where the White House acknowledges that without Bush's tax cuts the nation would return to surplus by 2006, but with his tax cuts deficits will continue indefinitely). Nonetheless, despite the doubletalk, the media did not report the story that the President was being dishonest. Or how about the White House's assertion that "92 million Americans would receive an average tax cut of $1,083" under its economic plan? Again, the facts are seriously distorted in order to fool the public. In reality, 80 percent of taxpayers would receive less than $1,083, and half would receive $100 or less. The handful of millionaires who would get about $90,000 artificially inflates the average. The White House and the media know this, yet the misinformation continues unreported. Why are these and countless other distortions swallowed by the media and fed to the American public without question? First, in a post-9/11 world, the White House has effectively equated questioning of the Bush Administration with treason. White House spokesman Ari Fleischer threatened reporters after the attack, saying they "should watch what they say." More recently, Fleischer implied that reporters were being disloyal to the military by questioning why the President felt it necessary to hold a circus stunt photo-op on the deck of an aircraft carrier. "It does a disservice to the men and women of our military to suggest that the president, or the manner in which the president visited the military would be anything other than the exact appropriate thing to do", he said, just after admitting that he had been dishonest in saying the President actually needed to fly a jet to the ship. But these tactics only go so far. What truly allows the White House distortions to go unreported - or reported as fact - is the Republican Party's not-so-secret weapon: a 24-hour television, radio and newspaper advertisement, otherwise known as Fox News, Clear Channel radio and the Washington Times. These national "news organizations" are owned by Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch, longtime GOP benefactors Tom and R. Steven Hicks, and Reverend Sun Myung Moon of the Unification Church, respectively. These men are right-wing ideologues who take their radical agenda as seriously as their bottom lines. Their news staffs reflect this disposition (Just look at Fox News, whose CEO and news director is Roger Ailes, who before entering journalism was a major Republican Party political operative, and who informally advised Bush on post-September 11th image polishing). These ideologues understand that, devoid of effective ideas, conservatives can win by playing dirty -- namely, by infiltrating non-partisan journalism with attack machines that use the pretense of objectivity as a cloak for pressing a radical right-wing agenda and diverting critical reporting away from the Bush Administration. As one Fox executive admitted a few months ago in Fortune Magazine: "[Murdoch] hungered for the kind of influence in the United States that he had in England and Australia. Part of our political strategy here was [sic] the creation of Fox News." Thus, legitimate questions about the war become a news hook for Fox to attack questioners as traitors. Inquiries about whether the President is adequately protecting the homeland become a chance to question Democrats' patriotism. Suggestions that the Bush tax cut will expand the deficit are morphed into purported schemes to raise taxes. Republican tax cuts for the wealthy become altruistic efforts to "let people keep more of the money they earn", as one Fox correspondent reported. Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle is hammered by the media for daring to question America's diplomacy, while Newt Gingrich gets favorable coverage when he does the same. In short, the right-wing media promote stories that serve conservative interests and deflect attention from stories that do not. In the process, they make incessant yet baseless claims that other news outlets are "liberal", intimidating them into accepting this conservative viewpoint for fear of being further vilified. And in "pack mentality" news with fierce ratings competition, the result is a media establishment that now forsakes its watchdog role in a tectonic ideological shift to the right. As the next election nears, honest reporters and editors do a disservice to the public by accepting this manipulation. Americans deserve Woodward and Bernstein journalism - not O'Reilly and Hannity propaganda. We need our media to have the guts to tell us when, why, and how our government is misleading us on the nation's most pressing issues. Otherwise, our democracy suffers as Americans go to the polls without the knowledge required to cast an informed vote.

In this blog, we are going to learn the importance of numbers. It is the third component of the EOS, Data. This component is fulfilled when you have a great scorecard and everyone has a number.
Imagine flying a plane in the fog with no instrument panel. How crazy and risky!!! Yet how many business owners and managers operate without clear objective measurements to tell them the health of the business. If you choose the best numbers, you will no longer need to guess and make decisions based on gut instinct and hunches. A business is an objective system that can be tested and measured and produce regular activity based numerical feedback.
We suggest 5 to 15 key leading indicators measured weekly. Examples of candidate numbers would be weekly revenue, cash balance, receivables, payables, various sales activities, customer satisfaction, project status, and product production. Every business will have a scorecard uniquely suited to their organization. It is important to note that this scorecard is different from regular financial reports, such as balance sheets and P&L. These key reports, though critical to understanding business performance, are not the same as a scorecard. The scorecard numbers need to reflect current activities that can adjusted before a problem gets out of hand.
Each number on the scorecard needs to be assigned to a leader who is responsible for the measurement and reporting as well as the ultimate troubleshooting and changes to keep that number healthy. These key numbers need to be reviewed weekly by the leadership team. After recording and reviewing this information for a while, your leadership team will be able to spot trends and potential problems before they become out of control.
A healthy growing business is run objectively, which means that the accountabilities and changes are based on specific measurable activities. Every team member should own at least one number that reports his or her most important activities. This is another means of developing a culture of kindness and respect toward people, and rigor and discipline toward objective results reflected in the numbers. Leaders and managers can then focus on changing processes and attacking problems and not people. If someone is not doing his or her job, it will be reflected in the key measurable activities

|CQL3 Driver, DESCRIBE
|Sun, 09 Jun 2013 22:49:33 GMT
Hi, I was playing around with the datastax driver today, and I wanted to call "DESCRIBE TABLE ....;". But got a syntax error: line 1:0 no viable alternative at input 'describe'. Is that functionality just not implemented in the 1.0 driver? If that's true: Does anyone know if its planned? Is there another way to get a description of the table? If it's not true, does anyone know where I could be doing something wrong? I have a good connection, and I'm simply running session.execute("DESCRIBE TABLE {keyspaceName}.{tableName};"); Thanks, Joe

Corn thief! El Burrito offers reward for safe return of corn roaster
Is nothing sacred?
Elote, the delicious combination of sweet corn, mayo, lime, chile, and cheese, is probably the most recognizable Mexican street treat after the taco. El Burrito Mercado on St. Paul's West Side has been selling elote outside its store and at festivals for as long as anybody can remember. But someone has come along and attempted a corny coup.
Early Sunday morning, El Burrito posted a plea on Facebook asking for any leads on who might have pulled up to their property in a light-colored pickup, hitched one of their corn roasters, and made off with it.
As of yet, there are still no leads, even with a $500 cash reward ($1,000 if the thief is caught and convicted). But most importantly, the crime hasn't stopped the party. El Burrito posted this message for loyal roasted corn fans:
And, thanks to their superior product, El Burrito can count on the utmost effort by St. Paul's finest.
"They have the best [roasted corn]," said Sgt. Mike Ernster of the St. Paul Police Department in the Star Tribune. "That's why this is a crime near and dear to my heart."
Anybody with information can call St. Paul Police, or the restaurant at 651-227-2192.
