Aussie Scanlan takes gold in trap shooting
Birthday girl Laetisha Scanlan has defended her Commonweath title in the women's trap.Australian shooter Laetisha Scanlan has backed up her 2014 Commonwealth Games trap triumph with another gold medal at Belmont.
Celebrating her 28th birthday, Scanlan hit 38 of her 50 targets on Friday to finish atop the podium for the second straight Games, edging out Northern Ireland's Kirsty Barr in a nailbiting finish.
It comes after Olympic gold medallist and world No.1 Catherine Skinner – one of only eight Australians to win gold in Rio – crashed out in qualifying.
It was a case of deja vu for the Victorian, who had to win a sudden-death shoot-off to book her spot in the final – just as she did in Glasgow.
"I don't know why I make it so hard for myself," a teary-eyed Scanlan told the crowd after sealing victory.
She capitalised after New Zealand's Natalie Rooney, who Skinner beat to win gold in 2016, was the first to miss in the shoot-out by failing to shatter her eighth target.
She was never headed after taking the lead in the final, despite missing twice in her last five shots to give Barr an opening.
She was then serenaded by an impromptu rendition of Happy Birthday by packed crowd at the Brisbane complex before Scanlan made a beeline for her father, who first got her into the sport.
It is Australia's third gold medal in shooting and eighth in total with one day of competition to go.

Optus admits 'racist' ad was unacceptable
Optus has condemned a job ad seeking "Anglo Saxon" candidates from its outlet in Sydney.Telecommunications giant Optus has become embroiled in a racism row after a store on Sydney's affluent lower north shore advertised for "Anglo Saxon" retail assistants.
An ad posted on Seek on Thursday stated the Neutral Bay outlet was looking for a casual retail consultant and noted it would prefer "candidates who are Anglo Saxon".
The ad, taken down on Friday morning, has been widely condemned by unions, politicians and social media users.
"Optus proudly supports diversity and employs staff representing more than 70 nationalities," Optus human resources vice president Vaughan Paul said in a statement on Friday.
"This error is completely unacceptable and a clear breach of our advertising standards and commitment to equal opportunity employment."
Mr Paul said Optus would be looking to take "disciplinary action" against those involved.
The union representing Optus workers slammed the "blatantly racist" ad and called for an investigation into the company's hiring policies.
"How did this racist requirement end up in an ad at all?" CEPU national secretary Greg Rayner said in a statement.
"This is extremely concerning and we have to get to the bottom of how this happened."
State Greens MP Mehreen Faruqi says she was "appalled" by the advert which revealed the racism that often remains hidden.
"Racial discrimination is common in Australia for job seekers who may be otherwise suitable for the job but are rejected based on ethnic-sounding names, accents or skin colour," she told AAP in a statement.

Barry Humphries brings stages of a great life to Newcastle
GETTING PERSONAL: Spend the night with a legend. The Civic Theatre hosts Barry Humphries: The Man Behind the Mask next month.
AUSTRALIAN actor Barry Humphries moved to London in 1959, when he was 25, and became renowned for the characters he created on stage, including Dame Edna Everage, Sir Les Paterson and Sandy Stone, as well as his theatre and film roles.
But Humphries has maintained his Australian relationships, returning to Melbourne around three times a year to visit family members, and making occasional tours in predominantly comic roles.
He will begin a very different Australian tour at Newcastle's Civic Theatre next month, in a show titled Barry Humphries: The Man Behind the Mask, in which he'll talk about the personal issues he has encountered over the decades, who else was concerned, and how they were resolved.He reveals, for example, how Dame Edna Everage, who began her stage life in a one-person show he presented in London in 1962, actually grew from a woman who greeted audience members from the stage in a Melbourne University revue that he appeared in at the end of 1955.
The show will have performances at the Civic on Saturday, May 5, at 8pm, and Sunday, May 6, at 1pm.
READ MORE: Humphries bares all in new show The Barry Humphries show will be one of two looking at generally unrevealed matters in well-known performers' lives that will come to Newcastle in May. The other event, The Orchid & the Crow, a comedy cabaret written by and featuring Daniel Tobias, who is a member of the comedy duo band Die Roten Punkte, can be seen at the Civic Playhouse on Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12, at 8pm, plus a 2pm Saturday matinee.
The show, which reveals the amusing reasons for its title, looks at how Tobias reacted in 2004, when he was aged 29, to doctors finding that he was suffering from testicular cancer which was at a stage close to causing his death. The story has been lightened by the incorporation of new songs, written in collaboration with his Die Roten Punkte partner Clare Bartholomew, that include a 1980s-style rock number, a Doris Day-mode romantic piece, and an amusing Italian operatic work. The show uses background videos to underline the nature of some of the story's events. And The Orchid & the Crow, which was first staged in 2015, has won awards at festivals in Edinburgh and Canada.
READ MORE: Humphries behind the mask Tobias tells how he was inspired to battle the cancer by reading a book that a nurse handed to him. The book's author, seven times winner of the Tour de France bicycle race, Lance Armstrong, had also tackled late-stage testicular cancer, by asking medical practitioners questions about the illness and demanding honest answers. Tobias adopted a similar approach.
Tickets: Civic Theatre box-office, 4929 1977 or through Ticketek.
Church Street DramasTHIS year marks the 200th anniversary of the issue of the first land grants in Maitland, and the Maitland 200 Years On events celebrating the birth of what became a major regional city will include a theatrical work, Church Street Dramas, that will show in an entertaining way a series of news making incidents that occurred in houses and blocks of land along the title thoroughfare in the past century. The series of short plays, written and directed by Maitland Repertory Theatre life member Frank Oakes, and presented by The Friends of Grossmann House and Maitland Repertory Theatre, will be staged where the events happened.
Many audience members are likely to be surprised that a few small blocks of Church Street could produce such a variety of funny, gruesome and stirring stories, which show child killers, ghosts, wild bulls, murderers and more. And at the end of the show, patrons will dine in suitable style at historic Brough House, with the meal included in the ticket price.
The performances will begin at Brough House, 73 Church Street, at 4.30pm, with shows on Friday, April 20, Saturday, April 21, Sunday, April 22, Thursday, April 26, Friday, April 27, and Sunday, April 29. Tickets – $33, concession and National Trust members $30, and children $25 – can be booked though trybooking南京夜网/363291, or phoning 4933 3330 and 0418 831 599. Funds raised will go towards the maintenance of the National Trust's two Church Street properties and the work of Maitland Repertory Theatre.
Pearson watches on Australia's meagre day
Laetisha Scanlan claimed gold for Australia in the women's trap on the Gold Coast.On Australia's least successful day at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games, Sally Pearson watched a Nigerian hurdler take the gold medal designed for her.
Pearson's injury-enforced absence hit home on Friday night when Oluwatobiloba Amusan won the 100m hurdles in a time 0.40 seconds slower than the Australian's personal best.
The event was meant to be a joyous Games highlight for the host nation and Pearson – instead, the Olympic and world champion sat in the stands, nursing an Achilles injury.
Australia harvested just two gold medals on Friday the 13th – the nation's most meagre medal day of the Games.
Shooter Lateisha Scanlan (women's trap) and lawn bowler Aaron Wilson (men's singles) triumphed – the host nation now has 65 golds, 34 more than next-best England.
Scanlan, on her 28th birthday, scraped into the trap final via a sudden-death shoot-off – and then won gold with a Games record, hitting 38 of 50 targets.
The crowd delivered an impromptu rendition of 'Happy Birthday' and Scanlan wept tears of joy when hugging her father after securing consecutive Commonwealth titles.
"To go back-to-back, I'm rapt. I can't even describe the feeling," she said.
Lawn bowler Wilson celebrated in a different manner: he stripped off his shirt and, bare-chested, lapped up the cheers of the parochial crowd.
Wilson became just the third Australian bowler to win men's singles gold.
And he credited his unusual celebration to 2006 Commonwealth men's singles champion, countryman Kelvin Kerkow, who went topless after his win in Melbourne.
"He sent me a clip going back to when the Games (team) were selected and he said 'this could be you'," Wilson said.
"Obviously I had a look at it. I couldn't help myself when it came down to the moment, chucked the shirt off, didn't know where it went, but it was all in the groove."
Wilson's triumph came just hours after Australia men's fours lawn bowlers were beaten for gold by Scotland.
Also snaring silver on Friday was 20-year-old shooter Sergei Evglevski in the men's 25m rapid fire pistol event.
The son of six-time Commonwealth champion Lalita Yauhleuskaya was eclipsed by Indian 15-year-old Anish Bhanwala.
Australia's 10m platform synchronised team of Domonic Bedggood and Declan Stacey, who first met each other 15 years ago when rival gymnasts, bagged bronze behind two English pairs.
And Bedggood took another bronze later when paired with Matthew Carter in the 3m springboard synchro final.
Fellow Australian divers Georgia Sheehan (silver) and Esther Qin (bronze) collected medals in the 1m springboard.
And compatriot Nina Kennedy took the bronze in the women's pole vault.
There was success in the boxing ring with five fighters progressing to gold medal bouts on Saturday.
Australia's women's basketballers thrashed New Zealand 109-50 to advance into Sunday's gold medal game against England.
And the nation's men's hockey team scraped past the Poms 2-1 in a semi-final, setting up a gold play-off against New Zealand on Saturday.
Australia's Olympic champion women's rugby sevens team started their campaign with two wins to assure a semi-final spot.

Newcastle Jets looking for A-League lift
Second-placed Newcastle are out to snap an A-League losing skid when they play Central Coast.Slumping A-League high-flyers Newcastle are seeking a timely confidence boost against a lowly local rival with multiple motivations.
While the Jets are guaranteed second spot and a home semi-final going into their final-round away game to Central Coast, they have lost three straight.
The ninth-placed Mariners have plenty to play for despite missing out on finals for a fourth straight season.
They could still end up with the wooden spoon if they lose.
Newly appointed head coach Mike Mulvey will attend the game in Gosford and Mariners stalwart Josh Rose will play his final match.
Newcastle have conceded 10 goals across their three defeats, not scoring in those games after netting at least once in their previous 23 fixtures.
"We're coming of the back of a few poor results the last few weeks and going into a home semi, this will definitely be a game where we need to perform, we need to do well and get our confidence back up," Jets midfielder Riley McGree said.
"Motivation always has to be high in every game but specifically coming off the back of the performances we've been having, I think we definitely need to lift as a team to get the result on the weekend.
"We have to focus on the basics, getting forward, getting to attacking positions and everyone has the licence to do that and everyone has the ability to do that.
"Everyone just needs to get in the box, create chances and defend well."
Mariners caretaker coach Wayne O'Sullivan believes Mulvey's presence at Saturday's game will spark his players.
"Hopefully that will add another little element of spice to it and hopefully generate an extra element of energy should we need it," O'Sullivan said.
He expected the final appearance of popular 36-year-old defender Rose before his retirement would also lift the Mariners, who have lost five straight.
"That in itself will add another dimension for us as well as being an F3 derby," O'Sullivan said.
"He'll start and hopefully we can give him the performance he deserves."
* The Mariners have lost their past five games. The last time they lost more in succession was a six-game drought in February-March 2016.
* Newcastle have won just one of their past eight away games in NSW.
* Central Coast have scored a league-low 10 first-half goals this season.

Culture Shopping
Yesterday, the target of my lunchbreak-shopping-spree was something different for a change: a woodblock print. I had seen it in the window of Wolfrum the night before as I was on my way to the subway after the Michelangelo exhibition opening at Albertina. With its reduced aesthetic, it somehow reminded me of Japanese prints:
In any case, the print was not expensive at all and I decided to buy it. When I mentioned to the gallery assistant that I had never heard of the artist, she told me that he and his family had recently died a tragic deathe when their house exploded due to a leaking gas pipe, a story that made news headlines.

Scripting Question
BitLocker configuration deployment through K2000
05/24/2018 1369 views
I have created Bat Script to deploy BitLocker configurations through K2000 and it fails at "BdeHdCfg.exe -target" command. As per my understanding this is because of the installation user doesn't have elevated rights to execute this command. What is the best way to execute "BdeHdCfg.exe" command with Admin rights through K2000? Appreciate if you can provide some example for this.
1 Comment [ + ] Show comment
Scripted install or system image? The best guide I've seen on the K2 bitlocker setup is here:
In which they manually do the steps the tool does. Also, Chuck mentioned in a post somewhere that he had to use C:\Windows\Sysnative when calling BdeHdCfg.exe, but that was on the K1 not K2.

Coast fashion and accessories concessions to be sold to Karen Millen
Move will save 50 jobs at the 10 Coast concessions in Irish department stores
Picture: Coast fashion, via Instagram
The High Court has given the provisional liquidator of the Irish subsidiary of woman's fashion and accessories chain of stores Coast permission to sell part of the business to UK fashion house Karen Millen.
Under the sale agreement for Coast Stores Ireland Ltd, which is part of the UK based Coast group of fashion outlets, 50 of the 99 full and part-time jobs in the Irish subsidiary will be saved.
Coast Ireland had operated five stand-alone stores and a further 10 concessions outlets at various Irish department stores, including one in Debenhams in Newbridge.
The agreement will see Karen Millen Fashions Ltd, which has bought the entire Coast Group in the UK, retain all the concession outlets in Ireland, and purchase all of the Irish subsidiary's stock.
Declan McDonald of PWC was appointed as provisional liquidator to the Irish subsidiary, which is completely dependent on the UK parent for its stock, finance, distribution and marketing, by the High Court on Thursday.
On Friday Stephen Byrne Bl for Mr McDonald told the High Court that after assessing all the options his client's view is that proceeding with the sale agreement with Karen Millen was in the interests of all the creditors and the company as a whole.
Karen Millen did not wish to acquire any interest in the five stand-alone stores, the court also heard. Following submissions from counsel, the sale agreement was approved by Ms Justice Caroline Costello.
When seeking the appointment of the liquidator the company cited difficulties experienced by its parent, including the collapse of the department store group the House of Fraser, where it had many concession stands, and difficult market conditions, as the reasons for seeking the liquidator's appointment.
Turnover at the Irish chain for the year ended February 2018 was €6m, down from €7.1m the previous year.
The UK parent, the court heard went into administration in the UK on Thursday and was bought by Karen Millen. The Coast group, whose ultimate parent is the Aurora Fashions Group, been engaged in a sales process, which had been accelerated in recent months.

Aaron Rosenblum listens to jackhammers. Specifically, he listens to how they resound off buildings, to the way the sound of them changes when a car pulls up between him and a construction worker. He also listens to frogs and katydids, train horns and traffic. There's a radio station downtown with two blaring loudspeakers out front, each tuned to a different station. "Stand in the middle, you've got Tom Petty to your left and Cardi B on your right," he says. "I like to stand in the middle and hear a polyrhythm. It's like looking for these things that were intentional on the part of Steve Reich or Philip Glass, but you can kind of find these accidental, very confusing things they couldn't have intentionally done."
Rosenblum is a musician and sound artist, somebody attuned to the noise most of us tune out. Now in his mid-30s, he's been making field recordings — of crickets, crosswalks, cars — since his college days, when he put together a degree in experimental music at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. The work of Luc Ferrari — a classical composer who created a piece called "Presque Rien" ("almost nothing") out of field recordings from a seaside village — made such an impression on Rosenblum that he started taping sounds on a MiniDisc recorder he'd originally borrowed from his brother to tape concerts. Rosenblum went on to name his now-defunct radio show "Presque Rien," which was on Louisville's WXOX-FM and featured mostly field recordings.
On the way to this interview, Rosenblum says, he focused on the audible crosswalk signals downtown, the speaker's telltale drawl rooting any listener firmly in Derby Town. Places have sonic identities, Rosenblum says — soundscapes: a term applicable beyond cheesy New Age music, it turns out.
What sounds make Louisville Louisville? Well, it's a railroad town. There's an interplay between manmade and natural sounds, like a water pump droning in a koi pond at Bernheim Arboretum — something Rosenblum loved so much he initially mistook it for a sound-art installation, then left a recorder on it for about 20 minutes. A 10-minute drive gets you out of the urban sprawl and into the soundtrack of nature. He hasn't had the chance to record at Churchill Downs or Slugger Field, but both are on his list. "This is a river town," he says. "You're not going to hear a steam calliope where there isn't a steamboat."
Rosenblum has started a project called Kentuckiana Sounds, aimed at capturing the region like a landscape painter — but with sound instead of color. Head to kentuckianasounds.org and you'll find a map pockmarked with 50-something flags, each leading to a field recording from the flag's location. Katydids sing along to a chirping crosswalk signal at Eighth and Chestnut streets. A booming voice calls a game at Cardinal Stadium. Birds twitter at Bernheim. The sounds create a multifaceted portrait of the region — ecological and industrial. Even political: In one recording submitted by a fan, voices murmur outside legislative rooms in Frankfort during a teachers' rally last year.
Rosenblum has hundreds of field recordings that could probably fill a map on their own, but he wanted to include sounds others had recorded, too. "Going to the site and listening encourages them to consider our soundscape," he says. Anybody with an iPhone (or even an old cassette recorder) can submit a recording to Kentuckiana Sounds, as long as it captures some sense of place. No bootlegs of concerts or one-off sounds, like a second-long recording of a car horn. This isn't a sound-effects library. Oh, and no narration.
At the Heine Brothers' Coffee where we're meeting downtown, I try to apply Rosenblum's method of listening, but the cacophony of muzak, overlapping conversations, hissing espresso machines and clanging glassware overwhelms me. Am I missing out on sonic nirvana? Does this all really sit easy in his ears?
To my relief, no. "In my 20s, when my brain was exploding with new ways of hearing the world, I thought, 'This is great! I'm gonna make it so when I get on a plane and there's a person with a baby in the seat next to me, and the baby is crying for four hours, I'll just think it's interesting.' I don't," Rosenblum says. "There are definitely sounds that still irritate me."

Ive been in a relationship with a great guy for a about 14 months now. He is amazing. At the start of the new year we sat down and with much embarrassment per his request we went over my expenses/ debt/ etc. (brief view of my life- I have always been a completely single parent. I have an 11 year old daughter who I have raised on my own. I have always supported the both of us while maintaining a pretty decent job. (a lot of ppl would say, however I only make $20 an hour.) I have my own home and recently graduated with my associates degree in criminal justice. With my student loan and car and mortgage and credit card debt I owe about 46K not including my home.
Now, IN enters 'guy'. He has 2 of his own business and makes possibly 80k a year. Minimum.
Our relationship goals are to eventually get married. However he wants me to pay off my student loan in 1 year. He has suggested I work for him on Saturdays. His shop is about an hour away from my home and he will pay me $400 a monthFebruary 26, 2019 at 9:48 am #195597
Those Saturdays I leave my daughter with family. He has also suggested I 'get rid of my car' and find something cheaper. He has posted my car which is 18k owed on ebay. – I have done this. I have only had one offer of 11k
I would of course be responsible for paying the balance of whatever I do get for it and what is still owed.
Meanwhile he doesn't have a 'home' 'home' he owns a car dealership and in that parking lot he has a trailer. So, since we met he has been staying in that trailer to save money. Now most recently he has been spending a lot of time in my home.
when he cooks, he buys those groceries. However he INSISTS to know that when he pays me when I work for him on Saturdays that that money goes to my 'loans' and not 'stuff I don't need'.
However since he has been staying so much at my house he seems to have a hard time believing that my ELECTRICITY bills have gone up..
(??) he stated last night that 'if he was going to give me money he would rather know that it isFebruary 26, 2019 at 2:38 pm #195606
Going to my debt..
I don't get it? He basically also lives at MY house YET doesn't want to contribute to living there? Electric, water, etc..
I just want to know where I am wrong.
I see his goal and I want to be there also. I have told him, i haven't spent any extra money ANYWHERE he has me living by the envelope system. I don't HAVE extra money to spend anywhere but damn..
He is a great guy. He really is but he also has his faults and i am so tired of having these stupid little arguments with him.
I don't know where we are headed but i just wish that wherever it was that we would accept and understand that because i am TIRED of this unnecessary stress and drama.
I feel like he fails to understand that i was paying my bills before he came. I can pay them after as well. Will i have to work my ass off now that i have a 250 student loan? Yes. Is my car expensive and i wish i didn't have a car note, yes! but i need transportation to get me to work..

"..He basically also lives at MY house YET doesn't want to contribute to living there.."
"…he has me living by the envelope system. I don't HAVE extra money to spend anywhere.."
" i am so tired of having these stupid little arguments with him.."
We are always where we choose to be. No one is "stuck" with anyone.
Suffering is optional.
Sounds like you fell in love with an "Alpha male" / Take charge kind of guy.
In the beginning it was probably nice to have someone {step in with a plan} to improve your life.
However now it feels like he is "controlling" and you're moving closer to having a parent/child relationship.
You need to be honest with yourself by determining whether or not you can imagine living like this for the rest of your life.
If you or your mate has to change your core being to make a relationship work you're probably with the wrong person.
People don't change unless (THEY) are unhappy. The goal is to find someone who (already is) what you want in a mate.

Time travel rarely ever ends will, and adding drugs in to the mix can't end well. Find out where the mix takes scientist Ben in the Major Spoilers review of Narcopolis: Continuum #1.
Narcopolis: Continuum #1
Writer: Scott Duvall
Artist: Ralf Singh
Colorist: Nicolas Chapuis
Letterer: Taylor Esposito
Publisher: Heavy Metal
Cover Price: #3.50
In the near distant future, genius inventor Ben creates the ultimate drug. No ordinary narcotic, its effects will take Ben on a trip through time in an attempt to uncover the truth behind his father's disappearance twenty years ago. In searching for answers, the past reveals its secrets that the young scientist won't accept, even if it means risking everything he's worked for.
In the world of Narcopolis: Continuum, all drugs are legal and controlled by one company. Working for that company is a man named Ben who has secretly harbored one ambition: finding out what happened to his father. In order to do that, Ben makes a drug that allows him to travel through time. As he tries to grasp with what he learned on his first trip and figure out how to move forward, he's visited by someone from the future with important information from his future self. This book has a lot of issues, which will be addressed in a moment, but the idea of a time travel drug is interesting. While this is not the first story to use the idea, they are few and far between. For some, the idea may be entirely new, and maybe enough of an intrigue.
That concept aside, this book does little to be fresh. A man hell-bent on trying to find their missing friend/family member/dog is one of the oldest stories, and while it is a fine groundwork to build from, there is almost nothing built here to compel us. The only two named characters have stock personalities that are told to us instead of demonstrated, never allowing them to feel like real people. We're told so often that everything Ben does in this book is out of character for him, but we have nothing to compare those statements to. Given how he acts, it is hard to believe he's a scientist since he willingly takes a highly dangerous drug after just one small test with unclear results. His insane and unexplained desperation aside, it makes no sense to not try and at least duplicate the results before injecting himself in the eye.
For science fiction stories told in a visual medium, the look and aesthetic are just as important as the concepts presented in the story. While the concepts are solid enough, the visual front falls short. Aside from a couple of skyline shots, most of the story is spent in a sparse lab and an equally empty warehouse, neither of which give the impression of a far advanced society. Even those few views of the world outside the window are generic buildings we could expect to see in the world today. The biggest hint we get of exciting new advancements is an anti-gravity chamber, which is nothing more than a glass cube that appears for less than a page. In a world full of legal drugs that enhance experiences, you would expect every corner to be vibrant and alive, but what we get is duller than our own world now. There is a lot of wasted space and blank backgrounds, where simple design could make us feel like this world is actually lived in. To top it all off, the characters are often awkwardly posed, and the facial expressions vary little between panels, making the humans seem just as alive as the setting that surrounds them.
I am not one to judge an entire story by just the first entry, but they do provide a clear road map of what we can expect from what is to come. The initial offerings in this book are few, which does not bode well. While we could hope for more depth to the characters, the world, and the story in coming issues, it does not seem likely that there will be. Maybe this will be a book that reads better in a collected edition, but that wouldn't be enough to salvage this opening chapter.

Alpine Provence: Part 2, Haute Provence Geological Reserve
This independent walking holiday is the second leg of a unique long distance trek which crosses Alpine Provence from Nyons near the Rhone Valley to Grasse in the foothills above Cannes on the Mediterranean coast. This spectacular trip takes you through some wonderful mountain scenery where the Alps meet Provence. The second part of this journey through Provence crosses the pre-alps between Sisteron and Dignes les Bains. The mountains here climb higher than in the Baronnies and alpine pastures dominate the wild summits with forests of oak and lavender below. May and June are good times to undertake the walk for the array of wild flowers on the mountains.
The area forms part of the Haute Provence Geological Reserve, which is the biggest geopark in Europe and is very much an open-air museum. On some days you'll be able to take waymarked discovery trails to visit sites of interest such as rock shelves covered in huge ammonites and hills of black marl rocks. Journey through 300 million years of geological time! In addition, at the spa town of Dignes les Bains you can walk in the town park which forms an open-air museum with works of art and fossil collections on display
This walking holiday is ideal for those walkers who are looking for a unique challenge as part of a long distance, off the beaten track walk, as well as those interested in a one-off walking tour in the mountains of Provence to discover the fabulous panoramas and the geological gems of the region. This leg of the journey starts in Sisteron, a wonderful citadel perched above the Durance and opposite the dramatic rock fins of Rocher de Baumes. At the end of the walking holiday you can take the famous Train des Pignes from Dignes les Bains to Nice.
If you wish to combine this holiday with part 1 of the trail in the Baronnies, then from Laragne Monteglin take the short train journey to Sisteron in the morning and explore the town and citadel before setting out on your trek the next day.
Walking Profile
The walking on this self-guided holiday is graded level 4. The walking days average about 800m of ascent & 17km each day. The days are slightly shorter than in the Baronnies on part 1. On some days it's possible to increase or reduce the difficulty.
Due to the nature of the landscape some sections can be relatively steep. Paths are generally good and well defined, with regular waymarking, but there are sections which can be rough and mountainous in places and some sections follow open alpine pasture where the trails are less well defined. The steep terrain means that it would be unwise to do this holiday if you suffered from vertigo. This holiday is recommended for walkers with some mountain walking experience.
Day 1: Arrival
Travel to Sisteron in the Durance Valley, gateway to the Alps.
Day 2: Sisteron - St Geniez
After exploring the historic town of Sisteron a true gateway to the Alps, set between rock walls, climb via Col de Mezien to St Geniez amongst open alpine grasslands in a wonderful setting at 1100m. 17.5km +990m (option of an extra 340m climb to reach the summit of Trainon at 1654m for great panoramic views)
Day 3: St Geniez - Authon
For useful advice about independent walking and preparing for your self guided holiday please take a look at the articles in our top-tips section.

They are a mixture of styles and comfort. All rooms at the guest houses have private bathrooms. We will inform you if this is not possible at the time of booking. Examples of the guest houses used on this part of our Alpine Provence holiday are shown below. The style and comfort varies from chic to rustic, but each has their own charm and your hosts will enjoy giving up their time to make your stay extra special.
A hearty and healthy continental breakfast provides the perfect opportunity to discover the local specialities such as home-made jams and local yoghurt. At midday you will eat packed lunches prepared by your hosts, except the days leaving from Sisteron. Four evening meals will be taken at your guest houses. Your evening meals in Sisteron and Dignes les Bains are not included in the price and will be taken in a local restaurant.

A taxi between the towns would cost about €70.
Please check that the walking holiday is available before making any travel arrangements. Please visit our travel shop page for links to useful travel websites.

We tend to think pro athletes are one-dimensional creatures.
An exceptional sporting talent couldn't possibly have depth, right?
Wrong. Many do.
For instance, of late we've learned that Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers picks the brains of film producers in his spare time, and that Andre Iguodala of the Golden State Warriors not only rubs elbows with Silicon Valley investors but also is a pseudo-member of the area's forward-thinking culture.
Curious about the hockey angle, Postmedia recently pulled aside nine players from four NHL teams to ask this straightforward yet loaded question:
Outside from those within your family and hockey bubble, who (or what) influences you?
The answers ranged from complex to simple, with one player unable to rack his brain for anything of substance. Consider the following a passing glance at the people and things influencing today's NHLers.
CURTIS LAZAR, Calgary Flames
"Tomorrow's always a new day."
Lazar's NHL career has been anything but smooth — a trade from Ottawa to Calgary, healthy scratches, just 43 points in 203 games — so his dad insists on having a short memory "even when things go south."
The reminders help Lazar, 22, concentrate on the here and now. As do highlights of cannon-armed Detroit Lions QB Matthew Stafford, of all people.
"There's always one YouTube clip I watch of Stafford. It's of all the fourth-quarter comebacks he had," said Lazar, flashing his trademark grin. "There's one where, I think, he separated his shoulder but he finished the drive, led their team to victory. That always stood out to me because he sacrifices his body so much but he never gives up."
Back in 2015, when Lazar captained Team Canada to a gold medal at the world junior hockey championship, it seemed like he had it all figured out. He had that Stafford edge.
Nowadays? Not so much. In part, that's why Lazar would like to sit down with Stafford for a Q&A. He sees a gritty gunslinger who lives in the moment and he wants to learn more.
"You just get the job done, and I think that's the pro athlete. That's what you have to do," Lazar said. "You have to block out all of the noise, the internal motivation that gets you going in the wrong way. You have to embrace it, have fun."
MORGAN RIELLY, Toronto Maple Leafs
A thoughtful interview subject, Rielly let the wheels turn for a moment before offering his two cents on the survey question.
"Outside of family and hockey? That's a tough question," he said, eventually landing on a three-pack of celebrities working on causes Rielly cares about deeply.
"I think it's cool when you look at Elon Musk and the things that he's been able to do," Rielly said of the South African billionaire and environmentalist. "Along those lines, (longtime Hollywood A-lister) Leonardo DiCaprio — what he's done for awareness around global warming and our planet is pretty cool."
In his down time, Rielly has sought out reading and viewing material on Musk's investments in sustainable energy technologies, DiCaprio's role as a Zayed Future Energy Prize juror, as well as actor Matt Damon's fight against the global water crisis through Water.Org.
Clearly, the top-pairing defenceman from Vancouver has a green thumb. "You could go about your day and not hear about anything like that but, when you go look, there's lots of cool things out there that people do," Rielly said.
Jonathan Toews, the 29-year-old Chicago Blackhawks captain, started speaking publicly about environmental issues this past summer, reaching hundreds of thousands through his social media accounts. Rielly has pondered outreach, too, but isn't entirely set on timing, cause or execution.
"I think it's important," the five-year Leaf said of using his platform for the greater good. "It's up to us to do that. The more people who become aware of it, the better."
Rielly's teammate and fellow survey participant, Frederik Andersen, can relate on some level.
First, Toronto's starting goalie lauded Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt for his recent goodwill efforts that raised millions of dollars for victims of Hurricane Harvey. Then, he looked across the Leafs dressing room at Nazem Kadri and Matt Martin, two veteran NHLers with charitable foundations.
Andersen may follow their lead one day.
"I think it's something that has to hit home for you," said the soft-spoken Dane. "It can really be anything, but last summer I lost my grandpa to cancer … You want to find something unique and try to build it the right way."
BLAKE COLEMAN, New Jersey Devils
Typically, elite hockey players view the college experience through two lenses: 1) it's a stepping stone to the pros, with no other agenda, or 2) it's a stepping stone to the pros, with an academic agenda.
Coleman, drafted by the Devils in 2011, gravitated toward the second option, earning a degree in entrepreneurship at the University of Miami (Ohio). Upon retirement — or maybe sometime during his pro career — Coleman's intention is to transform those four years of lectures and papers into something tangible.
So, who influences the 26-year-old Texan, you know, outside of the usual suspects? Perhaps a business person he holds in high regard?
Nobody in particular, Coleman said, but he admires "any creative person who takes it upon themselves to make something of themselves and not rely on others."
The idea of starting a business, getting it off the ground and watching it grow really appeals to Coleman, a penalty-killing forward.
Being your own boss and "pushing the envelope" is the post-playing dream. "You kinda control your own destiny. I like that," Coleman said, nodding.
"You don't have to rely on other people to push you further. Obviously, if I can give back to people by creating something meaningful, I can help family or friends and let them get involved. That's my passion."
MARK JANKOWSKI, Calgary Flames
There's family. There's hockey people. And then there's Derek Jeter.
A longtime New York Yankees fan, Jankowski has always appreciated The Captain. Jeter's demeanour and consistent results captured the rookie Flames forward's attention as a youngster.
"He was just a classy guy," Jankowski said, referring to Jeter's 20 memorable years in MLB. "The way he worked and played throughout his career, it's just someone who I've idolized."
Jeter, who retired in 2014, has pivoted to big business. Among other ventures, the future Hall of Famer has founded/run The Players' Tribune website and is part-owner/CEO of the Miami Marlins.
"You hear a lot of stories about people struggling with what they should do when they're done playing their sport. Obviously he's found what he wants to do," said Jankowski, who studied management at Providence College. "It's something I look up to. Hopefully, when I'm done playing this sport for a long time, I won't have any trouble figuring out what I want to do next."
For other NHLers, including one polled for this story, life after hockey is an afterthought. Because, for certain players, being "all-in" on hockey means pressing pause on any outside sources of influence, interest and inspiration.
"I am a naturally curious person, but for my entire life and the last 11 years, my life has been about hockey," Devils defenceman Ben Lovejoy explained.
"I think that everything you do as a professional athlete affects your game and I have done everything I can to focus on becoming a better hockey player, from what I eat to what I do in my spare time. When I'm done hockey, I look forward to doing a lot of things, but right now and for the last 11 years I've been all-in trying to get my game to (the highest level) possible."
Added 33-year-old Lovejoy, who in early December revealed plans to donate his brain to CTE research: "You go to bed and you're thinking about hockey, you're thinking about mistakes in previous games, the next game. Someday I will completely get away from the game, but while I'm a professional athlete, a professional hockey player, this is all I think about."
CONNOR CARRICK, Toronto Maple Leafs
Shunryu Suzuki, Ryan Holliday and James. C Collins are three people Carrick probably couldn't pick out of a lineup. But that doesn't mean the articulate Toronto blue-liner isn't heavily influenced by them.
Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind, Holiday's Ego Is The Enemy and Collins' Good To Great are some of bookworm Carrick's recent reads.
"I like to consider the habits," said Carrick, one of the league's best thinkers and communicators. "They do help each other — when I eat well and sleep well and my head's in a good spot, it does help my hockey — but I (also) like to think of them as separate entities.
"I like to set up good habits for my post-career, for all of the time (and try to remember that) these are the tendencies of a successful person's brain and how it operates day to day. You just try to pick that up and steal it."
Translation: Carrick aspires to be his best self on and off the ice. He tries to connect the body, mind and soul, and reading can provide the know-how. The 23-year-old will ask those close to him, like his dad and financial adviser, for recommendations.
"It helps freshen things up and helps you look at something in a little bit different light, you know? I think you get more and more comfortable with yourself. You're allowed to borrow someone else's brain, essentially, for a little bit," he said.
Similar to Carrick, Minnesota Wild forward Daniel Winnik isn't so much concerned with who wrote something as he is focused on the content and the message.
"I always try to find new stuff," the NHL journeyman said. "I'm never someone who's like, 'I'm going to go buy all the James Patterson books,' or all the Stephen Kings. I like a wide variety of stuff."
"I read a ton of articles," Winnik continued. "I'm interested in business, politics — all that stuff. I've always been intrigued by what makes the world tick and what other successful people do or what's going on in the world."

Overview: Norrbottenspets dogs are also known as the Pohjanpystykorva and the Nordic Spitz. These dogs are native to Sweden, and are the national dogs of the country. These dogs were originally used as hunting and farm dogs. While these dogs do not have long hair, they can still cope with long, harsh winters. They make for great companions to hunters and can lead them to fallen prey just by listening to the sound of the bird flying.This breed of dog is quite small and very intelligent. These are energetic dogs that are vivacious and make for great companions. It has a fox-like head.
Appearance: These dogs have a muscular yet compact body, and give the impression of being square. It has a well-developed, strong fore chest, and a deep chest. It has a fox-like head with a long muzzle. They have bright eyes and a calm yet energetic expression. These dogs have a double coat – the undercoat is thick, soft, and fine, while the overcoat is close fitting, straight, and rough. This sort of coat is good for winters and keeps the dog warm. Norrbottenspets dogs have a bushy tail that loosely curls over the back of the dog. Norrbottenspets weigh 25 to 35 pounds, and have an average height of 16-28 inches.
Personality: These loving and affectionate dogs that form a deep bond with their owners and are extremely loyal. These dogs are very playful and energetic, and make for excellent companions for children. They are gentle with kids and will protect them with their life. They also get along well with other house pets. These hunting dogs like to bark and can warn their family members about strangers. If you feel that your dog barks too much, then obedience training might help.
Training: These are intelligent dogs and want to please their masters. These traits in them make it easy for you to train them. However, you need to keep in mind that positive reinforcement is necessary to train, and heavy-handed and harsh training methods do not work well. Avoid repetitive commands.
Exercise: You need to remember that these are hunting and working dogs and full of energy. So, they enjoy being given tasks. You also need to exercise these dogs as they need a lot of physical activity to keep alert and fit. If you are the kind of person who enjoys sports and physical activity, then this dog is ideal for you. These dogs are not suitable for apartments as they like a lot of space, and have boundless energy.

According to a report in the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros is considering making a new Matrix film, though it has yet to determine whether the original creators, the Wachowskis, or original star Keanu Reeves would be involved. The paper said:
The Matrix was released in a quiet period of the 1999 release calendar — March 31 — and Warner Bros. didn't have outsized expectations for an action movie with obvious Manga and comic-book influences. But the story and ground-breaking special effects (including the slow-motion "bullet time" effect, which launched dozens of imitators in the years that followed) became the highest grossing R-rated film of 1999 in North America, and the fourth-highest grossing film of the year worldwide. It also won four Academy Awards. Two sequels, Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, were not as well received, but Reeves' deal for those films made him one of the richest actors in Hollywood.

US Government Spending Against its Mission
The preamble to the US constitution lays out 4 missions for the government. Federal, state and local governments spend almost $5.4 trillion in 2014. To get a better understanding of where this money went, Steve Ballmer established the USAFacts website and mapped spending against the 4 missions:
- Establish Justice and Ensure Domestic Tranquility
- Provide for the Common Defense
- Promote the General Welfare
- Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and Our Posterity
Securing the blessings of liberty, which includes spending on social security, education and medicare, accounted for $2.8 of the $5.4T. Promote the general welfare, which included cash and non-cash programs for the disadvantaged, accounted for $1.2T. Defense and veterans spending made up most of the $.8T spent on providing for the common defense. Finally, $.4T was spent on law enforcement, the justice system, fire protection and other ways to establish justice and ensure domestic tranquility. The Marimekko chart below breaks down spending by mission and by the major spending categories that make up each mission:
USAFacts provides an excellent database of spending information. More importantly, they have taken the time to categorize spending into major buckets and then to group these around the four missions in the preamble to the constitution. I decided to group federal, state and local spending together, which forced me to use data from 2014, which was the last year for which state and local spending was available.
I had to do some combining of categories to get the data to present well in a Marimekko chart. Many smaller categories were listed in USAFacts. I combined some into "Other" categories in each bar. Items like spending on foreign aid and the environment are relatively small and would clutter the chart if shown individually. I did try to label the other categories to give the reader a sense of what they contained.
I sorted the bars so that the biggest appeared on the left and I sorted the series so that the largest appeared on the bottom of each bar. I then excluded the "Other" series in each bar form the sort so that it always appeared on top. I used the Color After Sort option to more logically color the segments. I also custom-colored all the other segments to light grey to group them together visually.

Can I compile cvBlobslib with OpenCV 2.4.5 and QTCreator?
Hello all,
I'm using OpenCV 2.4.5 with the last version of QTCreator (2.7.0) and QT 5.0.2. I've compiled OpenCV from source with some problems but with two tutorials and a little bit of patience,now I can use it and I can make programs with nice GUI.
Nevertheless, I want to reuse some coding that I use with openCV 2.1 and the cvBlobsLib with a little modifications that I made but I can't use it. I've tried to include de compiled lib, but I don't find out the way to make it works. I suppose that I can't mix a library compiled with Visual Studio 2008 and OpenCV compiled with QTCreator with MinGW.
Well, the question is: Has anybody compiled it with this IDE? Do you know some tutorial? I have been googling but I don't find out many answers.
Thank you and regards.
Well, I have create a project to cvBlobsLib, and when I push build with the .pro file configuration and QTCreator build it, but I can't include it in another project to test it.
When I test it there are some undefined reference to `cvCreateMemStorage' or another function but I include the opencv .h and cvblobslib .h files, and of course I include the libraries that I have compiled before. That's no sense for me. In fact, when I use the IDE I can jump to the header where the function is defined. I appreciate some help. Thanks.

Many consumers see iPhone 4S deals as expensive especially when the total price is worked out over the minimum term of the contract period which is usually either 24 or 18 months but Tesco have set out to change this.
Tesco Mobile have now launched 12 month deals for the iPhone 4S 16GB in black which will be music to the ears of those closely watching their expenditure, with a 12 month contract you will always pay a little more upfront but when calculated over the contract term these deals work out to be a lot less expensive than those on longer contract periods.
One of these new iPhone 4S deals will cost the consumer £35 per month for the line rental and an initial upfront price of £235 for the handset, this equates to £655 over the 12 month contract period which is a full £65 cheaper than the next best deal which is offered on the 3 Mobile network.
The 3 Mobile deal is actually for a free iPhone 4S at £30 per month but is on a 24 month contract, this equates to £720 over the two years. The Tesco deal includes 750 minutes, 5000 text messages (SMS) and a substantial 1GB of data whilst the 3 Mobile package offers only 300 minutes, the same volume of SMS but just 500MB of data.
There are pros and cons to both of these deals, the advantages of the Tesco Mobile deal are obvious with a minimum tie-in period, more minutes and data for your money and cheaper overall costs whilst the 3 Mobile deal may appeal to those who cannot afford an upfront payment for the phone.
Many consumers will also know that owning a mobile phone for a full two-year term can also throw up some difficulties, should something happen to the phone such as loss or breakage and there is no insurance to cover the handset then costs can spiral when having to replace the device.
This latest iPhone 4S deal offered by Tesco Mobile is currently the cheapest way to own the latest iPhone if you are willing to part with an upfront cost for the handset, many will be put off as Tesco is not seen as a major mobile network but in these times of austerity this may no longer be a deciding factor.
3 Mobile is also not the most trusted of network operators when buying a new phone, as the youngest of the five UK networks and complaints about customer service call centres based overseas consumers are wary and sometimes stick with what they know and trust.
Unfortunately, this Tesco Mobile deal is not currently available for the white edition of the iPhone 4S, this particular model has been experiencing stock issues with some of the major retailers for some time and in many cases has ended up being a more expensive option to settling for the black colour scheme.
In conclusion, buying an iPhone 4S with the Tesco deal mentioned above will no doubt save money for many consumers, not just in upfront costs but also on their monthly bills with the extra inclusive minutes and data.

Chennai MRF F1600: Rangasamy takes lights-to-flag Race 3 win
Raghul Rangasamy led from start to finish to secure victory in the final MRF 1600 race of Round 2 in Chennai.
In stark contrast to this morning's race where half the field was wiped out by crashes, Race 3 was largely straightforward with no accidents of note.
Rangasamy started from pole and resisted Goutham Parekh's advances into turn 1, before building a small, but significant lead over the rest of the field.
He slowly but steadily started increasing his advantage up front to claim a comfortable win by a margin of 1.974s.
While Race 2 winner Parekh couldn't challenge for victory, he finished well clear of the rest of the field in second.
Ashwin Datta, who swept the opening round in Coimbatore but struggled comparatively in Chennai, claimed the final spot on the podium after resisting Sandeep Kumar in the latter stages of the race.
Nirmal Uma Shankar finished fifth while both Yash Aradhya and Nabil Hussain passed Keith Desouza in one corner to end up sixth and seventh respectively.
Chetan Korada was ninth, while former Volkswagen Ameo Cup champion Karminder Singh completed the top 10. Arya Singh was last of the classified finishers in 11th, while Nayan Chatterjee was the only retiree from the race.

Life makes more sense and has more meaning the moment you are able to discover your actual purpose. Just plunge in and don't second guess yourself. Sure, having someone's confidence in you is awesome but it would do nothing if you don't have that confidence in yourself too. Another's belief in you won't be worth anything if you do not believe in yourself too.
You know how we ladies get lost in reverie about our dream man and the day we would meet him? (No matter what anyone says or how puffed up you want to act that you do not care, we each, all of us want the true magic of love and we look forward to our happily-ever-afters).
Sometimes, the guy may turn up in the very package you dreamed of or better yet, in a package you never dreamed of but the important thing is he gives you the life of your dreams…….. So, it is with your passion and life. You may have figured that life sometimes doesn't exactly pan out like how we envisaged for us and sometimes even when they do, it's not exactly as exciting or beautiful as we hoped it would be.
Just like love, with life, you have to go with the flow. There are no hard and fast rules about falling in love or a life manual on how you should live.
Don't be desperate for things to happen. They always do no matter how much they delay. You just got to be ready for what you want. Hence, someone rightly said, "If you woke up without a goal, go back to sleep". You just have to be ready and prepared for that which you want…..therefore, you first have to figure out what it is you really want.
"There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living." —Nelson Mandela
Look deep within you and find that unique gift you have. Do not be bothered if there are already so many players in the field of play. All you should do is bring your best to the game and remember that you are not in competition with anyone.
Just be you. DO YOUR THING and have fun.
Go, live not a little BUT much……. You got this and can do it. Go do what your heart keeps tugging at you to go do……go do that which gives you true joy and happiness and helps in the development and upliftment of your fellow man. "It's your place in the world; it's your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live", said Mae Jemison
So, if you wanna be somebody; If you wanna go somewhere, you better wake up and pay attention.

Both Free Flight owner Brian Walsh and Bicycle World owner Parrish Marugg report that Daytime Running Lights by Bontrager have become an excellent safety feature for all bike owners. The intensely bright lights are highly visible even on sunny days. Bontrager manufactures a front and rear light set that retails for $69. The 65 lumen rear light can be seen from 2 kilometers away.
This is part of the ongoing research by Trek that focuses on assisting motorists to increase biker visibility. More information can be found at: https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/daytime_running_lights/
Brian Walsh also notes that Garmin continues to add features to their bike computers, especially sending a rider's statistics to Strava automatically. Reflective shoes and socks are other items that merit a look, too. Riders may want to check these out.

As a former federal employee in Washington D.C., my heart goes out to my former co-workers, who along with thousands of federal employees and contractors, are currently living without a paycheck.Despite the promise that many federal employees will receive their pay retroactively, most need their income now. But in the case of federal contractors, they are unlikely to receive any back-pay at all.
For federal employees and contractors alike, the repercussions of living without an income for an extended period of time are devastating and far-reaching, including likely adverse effects to an individual's credit history, savings, retirement plans, and overall health. This is not just a federal employee problem. Losing a source of income can happen to anyone at any time, and for a variety of reasons, including the loss of a job, divorce, illness, or a disability that prevents you from working. The question is: do you have a plan?
Following are some recommendations to establish a financial plan. A parachute that could help you land safely during your own financial shutdown.
Start an Emergency Fund
Begin to set aside money now to establish your emergency fund. Start small but keep adding steadily. Your goal should be to have enough funds to cover for 3 to 6 months' worth of living expenses. Your consistency will pay off as your emergency pile grows. You should keep these funds in an interest-bearing account, such as a savings or money market account, where the funds would be readily accessible in case of an emergency.
Fund a ROTH IRA
After you establish an emergency fund and if you meet the eligibility requirements, consider opening a Roth IRA. While providing tax-free growth on deposits, a Roth IRA could also serve as a backup plan to your emergency fund – and also serve as an added retirement component.
If needed, deposited funds may be withdrawn without taxes or penalties. However, taxes and penalties may need to be paid on the earnings that are withdrawn from a Roth IRA if certain requirements are not met. Note that Roth contributions are not permitted when income levels exceed certain thresholds.
Mortgage Payment- One month ahead
If possible, pay your mortgage at least one month ahead of time. Being ahead on your payment schedule will provide you with a much-needed financial cushion during a time of need. Mortgage payments tend to make up a large portion of our expenditures each month. However, getting ahead of your mortgage schedule is a financial strategy to be considered only after you have established your 3-6 month emergency fund.
Call Creditors
If you find yourself facing an extended period of time without income, call your creditors. Call your mortgage lender, car loan representative, and credit card companies and ask for an extension of time or a payment plan.In particular, ask if they can waive late payment fees. Late payments to creditors will impact your credit score, which will adversely affect the interest rate and condition of any future loans. Many institutions will work with you if you are experiencing difficulties in making timely payments, but you have to reach out and call them.
The current federal shutdown is upending the financial stability and compromising the future financial independence for thousands of households. While these strategies are, by no means, easy to get started, once established, it brings you closer to a position where you may feel that you are financially prepared to weather a financial storm.
There are financial lessons to be learned by this crisis. Simply put, we must all be prepared for an adverse economic event.Even if you are not a federal employee, you could experience your very own financial shutdown. I hope that these planning strategies help you land safely.Discuss your plans and eligibility requirements with your financial advisor, who can assist you with making the choices that are right for you.
If you want to share any experiences regarding your own emergency financial plan, please contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com. We want to hear from you.

Hi I am having issues when I try to buy the game online. I log on from our university and we have some filters on our system. When I click on the buy premium it connects me to ArmorGames and then it stops loading.
I am wondering if there is another method to buy the game? Perhaps if there was an Android version I could directly buy from Google Play.

To curb future outbreaks of RVF, enhanced syndromic surveillance of 22 high-risk RVF Kenyan counties was conducted to collect data on RVF-associated syndromes and risk factors in livestock from November 2015 through February 2016. The results of the study, published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, could provide the first step toward establishing a national syndromic surveillance system for livestock in Kenya.
Routine livestock surveillance in Kenya is primarily passive, with farmers reporting animal illness to public and private veterinarians, rather than routine check-ups being performed on the livestock. The enhanced surveillance system consisted of an RVF Alert Center that received, compiled and reported the surveillance data on a weekly basis from both the sub-county veterinary officers (SCVOs) who carried out the surveillance at sub-county level, and the livestock farmers. To evaluate the relationship between the reported syndromes and rainfall, the researchers compared the weekly livestock reports with reports of flooding and mosquito swarms.
All herds (cattle, sheep, goats and camels) had reports of bleeding, abortions or death. Observers also reported 216 out of 362 livestock cases when mosquito swarms were observed, as compared to 211 reported cases when there was no flooding. The researchers identified 69 suspected RVF cases from 45 farms, and from this data 24 cases from 18 farms met the definition of a probable RVF herd. This pilot, though focused on a select number of farmers during the light rainfall season, showed that the number of reports of abortions and hemorrhagic disease were highest in the months that reported the highest rainfall.
"The enhanced surveillance for RVF reported here provided animal RVF disease data that served as an effective early warning for a major outbreak, giving a chance to prevent spillover to humans," the researchers say, "The pilot created a model communication network for emergency reporting of animal health status between farmers, county government surveillance officers, and the national government."

Am I missing how to? Is this a function relative to plus and premium? I want to create a complete song consisting of 3-4 single tracks that are saved in projects as .mmm files, and created under EDIT > OBJECT > CREATE NEW OBJECT > CREATE NEW MIDI OBJECT.
Starting new project , I am able to load in only one of the objects I need. I must be dumb, would rather be dumbfounded though and find out what I am missing and not seeing.
