Social work services in Germany today are not only in a tricky theoretical situation but also in a tricky practical situation. The reason for this is that social work has difficulties in presenting its own capabilities, knowledge and successes within the context of the present historical-social challenges (e.g. modernization, globalization, economic influences, etc.) either within its own discourse or for the public (Erath 2002). Whilst the economic system is gaining more and more influence in society, 'the social' (including 'social work') seems to be becoming more and more negatively stigmatized.
The reasons for the present situation can be found in a general lack of ability to properly handle and communicate the inherent dilemmas of social work. These dilemmas are:
Social work managers and practitioners are often aware of these deficits and feel uncomfortable about them. However, only the acceptance of these dilemmas can help them to fully understand and communicate the possibilities and limitations of any social work interventions within intra- and intersystemic argumentations.
The most general consequences of the aforementioned knowledge for social work managers and practitoners are:
Processes have to be created, differentiated and organized (based on social work theories and principles, reference theories, etc.) in a way that the probability is increased that aims can be reached and successes achieved.
A basic concept of (good) social work services is shown in the following illustration:
A framework for social work service quality
Aims and results have to be highly differentiated because a simple rough outcome or orientation ('clients will be able to live an independent life') would be too naïve. Hence, concepts have to differentiate aims into general aims and sub-aims. The more aims and processes that are clearly and highly differentiated and identified, the more documentation and evaluation procedures can be specified and lead to clear results (at least, in part).
All aspects of quality have to be communicated and discussed with staff, service users/clients, tax payers, local administration officers, etc. and constantly reconsidered. The big theoretical question is: Is it possible to create a general framework of quality criteria which identifies the main aspects which influence quality in social work services and thus allow judgement of the quality concerning different grades (insufficient/sufficient, good/excellent, etc.)?
The concept of Ajuto e.V.
Ajuto e.V. is a social work service in Freiburg/Baden (Germany) for girls aged between 12 and 17 years who have antisocial behaviour problems and lots of other different problems, e.g. severe problems with parents and school (violent behaviour, aggressiveness, truancy, suspicion of sexual abuse, etc.), or health problems such as anorexia nervosa, attempted suicide, self-inflicted wounding, etc.
The innovative idea behind the concept of Ajuto e.V. is to offer girls not just guidance, advice and group communication, which alone would not be sufficient to motivate them to come to meetings regularly. There is additional 'horse work' that most of them will not only be attracted to but which will also provide another opportunity (i.e. parallel to the group work) for reinforcing their personal, social and emotional competences, etc.
The service encompasses three elements:
The overall aims
Girls are able and normally willing to fulfil all social responsibilities within family, school, social environment, etc., which encompasses aims that they
Processes and services within Ajuto e.V.
Group work
Equestrian activities
Holiday activities
Theoretical construction/sub-aims
The aforementioned overall aims cannot always be achieved in total due to the complexity of the girls' psychosocial situations. To be able to show the 'effectiveness' of the services it is necessary to divide the overall aims into sub-aims. Thus, for example, Ajuto e.V. uses Goleman's theory of 'emotional intelligence', which aims at helping young people to master their life better by learning basic emotional and cognitive competences (Goleman, 2005).
All processes, especially those relating to the equestrian activities, are designated to help the girls to develop competence, as shown in the following illustration:
Core process
In all aspects of the helping process girls are regularly observed concerning the sub-aims, they are involved in conferences and in meetings with parents, social workers and the local youth office to constantly shape the helping process and to adapt and reach the desired aims.
Data feedback
Even if the services from Ajuto e.V. are a little more expensive than other 'normal' services, such as group work or guidance (but not as expensive as foster homes or other homes, etc.), the results of the service are excellent:
Especially in Germany, where social work services are very individually tailored in accordance with the leading social principle (subsidiarity), the huge variety of service providers and the full responsibility of the different local authorities (usually the city councils), social work managers have to strengthen their concepts through theoretical argumentations and empirical data. Therefore general methodological statements, such as 'group work', 'group training', 'case work', and 'community work' are no longer sufficient to characterize the peculiarity of a given service with this specific logic, applied theories and used methods.
The Ajuto e.V. concept is an exemplary illustration of ways in which social work managers are not only challenged to go beyond the traditional notions and to construct their services in a highly creative manner, but also to use all kind of theories to work out process and outcome items which are distinct and measurable. Hopefully, in the long run this will lead to self-confident social work which is more and more capable of opening its 'black box' of processes and effects to public observation and empirical research.
In order to achieve these aims social work students and professionals (and especially those who will manage services in the future) should open themselves to embrace theory and research and recognize themselves as 'scientific professionals', who are able - against the background of time and (professional) knowledge - to construct and deconstruct social work services out of and into parts of theories, items, data, etc. The more social work is able to accept insecurity, the more it may be accepted within society as a serious enterprise worthy of helping individuals and groups, not for its own sake but for that of its clients.

I was recently speaking to someone about having "Soul" and the question came about: "What is Soul"? How do you really define that?
I guess when I think of soul I think of the singers who defined the Soul Era in music: Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Al Green, etc.
But what about Janice Joplin? She's got soul. Do country artists have soul? I think Loretta Lynn does, and Patsy Cline did too.
How about jazz artists - did Louis Armstrong have soul? You bet he did. Actually, he had so much soul that people don't seem to realize how important his contributions were to the field of jazz.
For me, I think soul is all about emotional connection. All of the above artists really connected with their heart in the way they delivered a song. They felt it at their deepest core, and expressed it. It wasn't about power or glory, and certainly not about money. I've heard too many contestants on reality singing competitions say the reason they wanted to win was so they could buy their mom a new house, or help their family out financially. Those are all noble reasons - but not the true reason to be a professional singer.
In my opinion, the most important reason to be a professional singer, and endure all the heartaches, ups and downs of this career, is to express oneself at the deepest level. When we sing from the heart, we express what is truly unique about us - the way we feel something. And only you can feel what you feel, so if you are truly expressing from your heart, your way will be unique. It's what makes you stand out in the crowd and what makes you special.
I think when someone sings from their heart and really connects emotionally to a song, other people can feel that too. And we all want to feel something - we are not robots living in this world. To truly live is to feel life at its deepest levels, not just on the surface. Sometimes this deep level is associated with pain - many of the artists who are soulful have had really painful lives. But I don't think pain is a requirement for being soulful. We've all had experiences that make us feel something deeply. It can be pleasure, pain, or whatever. The greatest joy in the world is as deep or deeper a feeling than pain (I guess this could be debated). My point is: FEEL IT AND SING IT!! If you're just focusing on vocal acrobatics or how beautiful your voice is, or your ego or fame or money, then how can you reach into your soul and bring out what is in there to express to others? That is what your job is - to help others to feel something....You've got to dig deep and get past all that superficial stuff and get down to the nitty gritty, the stuff way down in the pit of your gut - your Soul...

Sales leadership programs – four common mistakes

Review WordPress login attempts
Because WordPress is such a popular CMS used on the web today, many attackers will try to compromise a WordPress website. Knowing how to review WordPress login attempts in your access logs can help you understand and improve your WordPress security.
This past April there was a large WordPress brute force attack where hackers were trying to hack into many WordPress installs. In this guide we'll go over how you can be sure that your WordPress site isn't still getting attacked.
Look at latest visitors in cPanel
To take a quick look to see who has been trying to access your WordPress administration panel, you can simply look in cPanel's Latest Visitors tool following these steps:
- Login to cPanel
Under the Metrics section, click on Latest Visitors
Beside your WordPress domain, click on View
Type in wp-login.php into the search box with the magnifying glass
Then click the Settings cog on the right, and place a check beside the IP, URL,Time,Status, and Method fields.
Here you can see that the IP address 126.96.36.199 first had a GET request for the wp-login.php script, followed by 4 POST attempts, all getting a 200 response.
On the 5th POST attempt the login was blocked and given a 503 response, and this is an indication of a user attemping to login to your WordPress admin, continually failing, and then being blocked by our Mod Security rules on the server.
You might also see that you have a ton of different IP addresses trying to hit your wp-login.php script here as well, and at a much higher volume. If you're seeing this, then that means your site could still be under a WordPress brute force attack.
Setup a cronjob to email WordPress login attempts
A lot of times you might not be reviewing your WordPress website on a daily basis. In these cases it can be helpful to setup a cronjob to send you a daily report of any attempted WordPress logins following these steps:
- Login to cPanel
Under the Advanced section, click on Cron jobs
Under the Cron Email section, fill out your email address where you'd like to receive the daily WordPress login attempt reports, and click Update Email
Now under the Add New Cron Job section, change the Common Settings drop-down to be Once a day (0 0 * * *)
This will default to sending you an email at midnight local server time, but you can adjust the Hour field if you'd like to have it email you a different time of day.
Now for the Command field, you'd want to enter in the following command, making sure to replace ~/access-logs/example.com with your own WordPress website's log:
egrep "POST .*wp-login.php" ~/access-logs/example.com | awk '{print $1,$4,$5,$6,$7,substr($0, index($0,$12))}' | awk '{print $1}' | sort -n | uniq -c | sort -n | sed 's/[ ]*//'
Then click on Add New Cron Job
The email report will give you a list of IP addresses that were accessing your wp-login.php script, and how many times they did so, and look like this:
30 184.108.40.206 30 220.127.116.11 31 126.96.36.199 32 188.8.131.52 32 184.108.40.206 32 22.214.171.124 32 220.127.116.11 33 18.104.22.168 36 220.127.116.11 60 126.96.36.199 100 220.127.116.11
In this case if we received an email report like above, we can clearly see that we possibly have a brute force attack happening on our WordPress sites, as we have multiple IPs hitting the wp-login.php script multiple times.
Blocking unwanted users from WordPress
If you notice that you have IP addresses trying to access your WordPress admin that shouldn't be, you can go ahead and block unwanted users from your site using .htaccess.
In the example email report above we saw multiple IPs had multiple login attempts, we can block these IPs from even being able to send out website a request by using these .htaccess rules at the top of your .htaccess file:
deny from 18.104.22.168 deny from 220.127.116.11 deny from 220.127.116.11 deny from 126.96.36.199 deny from 184.108.40.206 deny from 22.214.171.124 deny from 188.8.131.52 deny from 126.96.36.199 deny from 18.104.22.168 deny from 184.108.40.206 deny from 220.127.116.11
Now if any of these IPs trys to access your website again, they will be immediately given a 403 access denied error and won't be able to attempt to login to your WordPress site any longer.

I just received a message that I've been blocked from my WordPress blog account due to a brute force attack. How long will I be blocked for, what do I/can I do, and how do I ensure this won't happen again? Or have I lost my blog permanently...

Hi, I have a few blogs all in one domain under different sub domain. My site has been under a series of very consistent Brute Force attack this week which brought down the server time and again. I have allowed wp-login.php access only to my ip and deny all others. However, my question is, how do I know if I entered the right code in .htaccess file? And how do I know if I have successfully denied all other IPs accessed?
A sample of what I enter into the .htaccess file:
<filematch "^(xmlrpc|wp-login)\.php$>
allow from ip1
deny from all
It seemed that after making this entry, when I tried to access the file, I just get 404 not found error.
2017-06-12 12:14 pm
You will want to set up the allow/deny for IPs in this order to allow only one IP through.
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from <your ip>

As a newbie trying several times to login and failing (until I got spoke with tech support). Then receiving a Brute Force prompt and reading the following day your post of "Reviewing WordPress Login Attempts", I was wondering if it was my attempts or my VPN running in the background. Or both.
2016-02-29 3:53 pm
The server looks for any attempts to log in, so those could come from anywhere. Largely, if it happens a lot, it is due to outside sites trying to force their way in.
2015-11-30 5:11 am
i try the following but it give me the following error in the email message :
output : egrep: /home/webmec6/access-logs/mydomain.com: No such file or directory
PLease advice !

The block happens at the mod_security level, so that is an all or nothing toggle. You can contact Live Support to have that rule disabled if you like, but you are basically whitelisting everyone.
2015-07-13 2:55 pm
Is it possible to whitelist an ip or two so that they can get through when a block happens? The primary administrator shouldn't get locked out during this period of time.
2015-07-13 3:31 pm
Hello Dan,
The block happens at the mod_security level, so that is an all or nothing toggle. You can contact Live Support to have that rule disabled if you like, but you are basically whitelisting everyone.

Hello Lisa,
Doing a Google search for LockeD By MED and WordPress, it seems like this could be an indication of your WordPress website being hacked.
I was unable to find any account information for you in our system based off the email address you submitted this comment under. But I might recommend you take a look at my guide on how to reinstall WordPress after a hack to see about possibly getting this hack cleaned up from your site and allow yourself back into the WordPress admin section.
You might wish to also contact your web host directly and let them know about these issues so that they can take a look on the server and in your WordPress database for any signs of malicious activity or a possible hack.

I think there's something wrong with the rule to block. I just installed WP. I keep get blocked out on the first login attempt every time.
2014-04-06 10:51 pm
Hello Jim,
The block rule should work as described. You may want to have us check your individual account to see that everything is implemented properly. You may want to reply with your domain name here. We can keep it from being public if you prefer.

Jim is referring to our VPS hosting account.
I do prefer the domains be kept private, as it's development site not for public consumption.
2014-04-07 3:08 pm
Hello Jim and Steven,
I'm not seeing any issues when I try to login to the WordPress site that you've mentioned privately.
When you say that you are getting blocked out the first login attempt every time, are you getting redirected to an all white error page that has a link to our article about the WordPress brute force attacks, or something else?
I do not see any mention of the Mod Security rule we use to block WordPress login attempts in your Apache error logs. So it looks like you might be having a completely separate issue.

Yes. The logs only show 7 requests, first landing on wp-login.php and 4 for its respective css files and one for the log. The seventh entry is the POST to wp-login.php. Every first attempt results in the white page saying login has been delayed. We are not being brute forced attacked, yet we are locked out because somewhere a rule thinks so.

As you can see from these logs, there are several POST requests to your wp-login within just a couple seconds which if they are failed logins, will certainly block access to your WordPress admin. I recommend fully protecting it with your .htaccess file.
2014-04-09 3:48 pm
Actually, as you can see in the logs there is ONE POST request. One intial GET request for wp-login.php The remaining are GET requests. In other words, GET requests from the referring page wp-login.php, as I already pointed out.
Why is this a new comment btw... It was supposed to a reply to JacobIMH in the thread we started above.
2014-04-09 4:36 pm
Hello Jim,
I just tested again and this time I also got our ModSecurity block on your WordPress site.
I went ahead and disabled specfic ModSecurity rules dealing with our WordPress brute force protection, so that your site is still protected from other types of attacks.
Being that our protection is disabled for your WordPress site, you'll want to be sure that you follow the steps from our WordPress brute force guide to help protect your WordPress installation from attackers.
Please let us know if you're still having any issues at all.

I locked myself out of mysite trying to access wordpress. Do I have to wait for it to reset or is it someting I can change inside of inmotion.
2014-04-01 2:57 pm
Hello Rafaael,
If you had too many incorrect WordPress login attempts then you would have triggered our WordPress brute force attack security rules. If this is the case, you could wait a full 15 minutes before attempting to login again, and then it should let you back in as normal.
Please note that during that time, if you have other users also trying to login to WordPress this could extend the 15 minute temporary block. In which case you'd want to use one of the methods described in that guide for limiting access to the WordPress admin section such as setting up a secondary WordPress password.
If you're still having issues logging in after waiting a full 15 minutes before trying again, please let us know.

Hello Emily,
Sorry to hear that you're having problems with the login. If you are hosting with HostGator, then you will need to contact their support if you continue to have repeated login issues. If you are using our hosting service, please provide a URL for your site and we can investigate further.

For 24 years, the PGA Tour series has dominated the world of golfing simulations, its hegemony threatened only by the mostly PC-based Links series – and the more approachable Everybody's Golf. Tiger Woods has been the cover star since 1998, but considering his wane in fortunes, it is understandable that he has been bundled into a golf cart and sent on his way. Now Rory McIlroy, who looks just as fiercely motivated and skilled as the young Tiger once did, will front a fresh chapter for the series.
At first, long-time fans will most likely find the absence of Woods jarring. It feels strange to begin the "Prologue" section of the game and find McIlroy staring back at you recanting his own experiences, rather than reliving some of Tiger's many achievements. But the nostalgia fades as McIlroy, directly addressing the player, talks about how it feels to stand on the opening tee in the final round of a major championship. It is unusually candid, offering a lot more insight than most golfers ever would in a TV interview.
The true purpose of the opening, though, is to introduce both newcomers and PGA veterans to the game's revamped swing mechanics. There are three interfaces to choose, catering to different skill levels. The arcade swing is the easiest to control and lets you start hitting shots with laser beam-like accuracy. You just flick the left analogue stick back and forward in a fluid motion and McIlroy does the rest. You can add shape to the ball or adjust the trajectory, but as long as you apply an easy swing, the ball will end up exactly where you want it. It's a great option for beginners, but it will quickly leave you wanting more.
One stage up is the classic style, a traditional three-click swing that will be familar to anyone who has played a golf sim in the last 20 years. Click to begin your swing, click to select the amount of power you need and, on the down swing, click again inside the markers to determine how accurately you hit the ball. It's fine, but it feels dated, offering a simple binary control input designed for old school joypads with buttons and D-pads rather than today's sensitive analogue sticks.
The Tour swing is intended for the "hardcore" golf gamer. As in the arcade motion, players draw the left analogue stick back to begin their shot, but now they must wait until the club is fully drawn to begin the down swing. Break too early and you will come up short, too late and overshooting your target is a danger. It's challenging but with some adjustments to timing and rhythm, a consistent result can be produced.
Adding to the mechanic, however, the player must swing diagonally from left to right to shape the ball in flight – and it is tough. Any slight deviation from the line shown through the swing visualiser and you are going to be hitting a lot of shots from the thick stuff or worse. There will be a lot of frustration at first, but as you improve, hitting better shots becomes hugely rewarding and you begin to feel like you really deserve your place at the top of that leaderboard.
Where the game truly comes into its own is the level of choice on offer. Each swing type is fully customisable so if you are finding certain elements of the game too tough (the dreaded diagonal swing, for example) then you can chop and change as you please to bring the game exactly to the level you wish to play it.
There are also a decent variety of challenges to experience. You can create your own PGA pro and find out exactly what it's like to grind out 72 holes of golf on a week-by-week basis, or just play the key holes in a round. Gradually, you watch your golfer's stats grow as you shoot lower scores and finally get to go driver to driver with McIlroy himself. There are also daily and weekly online tournaments for each swing type so you can pit yourself against the world's best virtual players – though the Country Club feature, which let groups of players form a social hub together, is missing.
Another new addition is the Nightclub, which boasts 170 challenges and introduces special bonus effects to shots. It's fun, but unlikely to hold your attention for long.
Much more substantial is the way EA has opened up the environment compared to previous titles. The course itself now loads as a whole for your round so if you hit a wayward drive you don't just end up out of bounds – you could find yourself on a completely different hole. It's a touch that both decreases loading time and adds another level of depth to the experience.
It's disappointing that, for licensing reasons, the Augusta National course is missing so you don't get a chance to play at the Masters. Indeed, there are far fewer courses than the 2013 version of the game (with 12 real-life options against the 20 in Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2014), and the roster of players has been culled too, with no LPGA stars at all. Perhaps these were necessary compromises with the beginning of a new series on new hardware platform, and EA has promised that it is going to provide free content updates.
After a two-year wait then, PGA Tour is back with richly detailed visuals, a restructured swing interface with a more expansive range and depth of shots, and some interesting peripheral features. However, long-term fans will miss the wider array of career and online tournament options, and may have to wait for downloadable content packages to get all the courses they used to enjoy. Rory McIlroy has made a strong start in the world of golf simulation but, in the parlance of sports commentators everywhere, he is not quite the complete package.

Now, don't roll your eyes. I've heard readers complain that it's too easy to kill off a character by arranging a convenient carriage accident so that they have become cliché. However, as cliché as it may seem, carriage accidents were every bit as common as car accidents are today. And since I've been in seven car accidents, either as a passenger or as a driver, ranging from minor fender benders to car-totaling collisions, and several people I love have suffered life-threatening injuries as a result of car accidents, I'm painfully aware how frequently that happens.
Just as there are many reasons for car accidents today, carriage accidents could be caused by any number of difficulties. Traveling at high speeds increased the likelihood of a major wipe out. (No, that's not a Regency term J High-perched carriages such as the High-flyer phaeton were top heavy and easily overturned, especially in the hands of an unskilled driver. But carriages in general were subject to all kinds of problems and breakdowns. Maintenance was up to the coachman, but if he wasn't especially diligent, there were any number of parts to a carriage that could break and cause accidents.
Roads were another cause of difficulty. They were poorly maintained, often muddy, rutted, narrow and windy. They were also snowy or icy. Toll roads usually fared better, but not always. Also, the horses themselves could throw a shoe or stumble over a rut or uneven ground which posed a threat to the carriage.
Other drivers were some of the greatest perils on the roads. There were no speed limits, and no driver's licenses, and driving while intoxicated wasn't policed. Drunk drivers or young dare devils careening around bends caused an alarming number of accidents. And since there were no seat belts or crash safety engineering, passengers could be thrown around or crushed or ejected.
It paints a terrifying picture, doesn't it? The next time you read a book where the heroine's parents died in a carriage accident, remember that they were an alarmingly common and therefore very realistic form of premature death. Instead of rolling your eyes and uttering the dreaded C word, nod sagely and applaud the author's realism.

Coal Production, Exports Plummet as Peabody Energy Declares Bankruptcy.
by Robert Scribbler, 13 April 2016 (condensing mine)
Jenny Marienau of the climate disaster prevention group 350.org is certainly right about one thing. A healthy world. A world full of life and of prospects for all people, all living things. A world that avoids the worst impacts of a terrible climate disruption on the road to a hothouse mass extinction. In this, far more hopeful, world there is no place for companies like Peabody Energy. Companies whose profit-making and related accumulation of a corrupting political power and influence is entirely dependent on locking in an ever-worsening global crisis.
Today that company, representing the largest coal interest in the Western World, declared bankruptcy. An optimistic announcement that comes amidst a swift sea change and a precipitous contraction in the global coal industry. One that, if world-wide public, private, protest action, and individual efforts to reduce carbon emissions on the back of 200 nations reaching a landmark global climate agreement in Paris continue in force, may well be a beginning of an end to the fossil fuel energy era.
The broadening contraction in coal has forced bankruptcies not just for Peabody, but for other major American coal players like Arch Coal and Alpha Natural Resources. A devastating wave for a climatologically destructive industry that appears less and less likely to survive in any form resembling its former might.
It's all a part of an emerging supertrend that is being reinforced along many fronts. The first of which involves a broad global protest action against new coal plant construction and wider fossil fuel based energy itself. Led by key groups like 350.org, Greenpeace, and the Sierra Club, these critical actions have targeted construction sites, pipelines, railways and mines. In addition, a comprehensive divestment campaign spear-headed by 350.org has targeted capital flows to the fossil fuel special interests.
|Source: Clean Technica with US EIA data.
Within the fossil fuel ranks there is also division. Even among the fossil fuel players there appears to be an acceptance that coal is on its way out. Messaging coming from the fossil fuel industry appears to have shifted to support of the still very harmful natural gas and for a new global fracking campaign. In essence, what we observe is that the oil and gas interests, including the new fracking interests, have basically maneuvered in a way that effectively throws coal under the climate change response bus. Coal is tougher to greenwash than natural gas and the spearhead campaign against coal as the worst of the worst among carbon polluters has proven undeflectable. This has been especially true in the UK where even conservatives are aiming to shut down coal plants (while continuing their harmful efforts in support of fracking and aimed at suppressing rates of renewable energy adoption).
More here.
Now from Raúl Ilargi Meijer of The Automatic Earth:
Demand destruction and debt deflation.What Robertscribbler and Raúl Meijer didn't tell you, but Reuters does, is that Peabody Coal bought out MacArthur Coal, a big Australian coal mining concern supplying metallurgical coal to China's steel mills, right when the price for that kind of coal was at an all-time high. As you might have known recently, demand for minerals and fossil fuels of all kinds have been plummeting, perhaps chiefly due to the recent economic stumbles in China. Of course, Mr. Meijer does keep people abreast about the trends in the general economy and whatnot, and they are not good.
• Peabody, World's Top Private Coal Miner, Files For Bankruptcy (Reuters)[Link]Peabody Energy, the world's largest privately owned coal producer, filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection on Wednesday in the wake of a sharp fall in coal prices that left it unable to service a recent debt-fueled expansion into Australia. The company listed both assets and liabilities in the range of $10 billion to $50 billion. Falling global coal demand, stricter environmental controls and a glut of natural gas have pushed big miners, including the second largest U.S. coal producer, Arch Coal, into bankruptcy protection over the past year.
And it is these trends which, if they continue, may put the kibosch on Business-As-Usual, and perhaps save us from the worst cases of the upcoming climate changes.

PITTSBURGH � After his son scored his third goal of the game � Evgeni�s first career playoff hat trick � a camera caught tears welling in the eyes of Vladimir Malkin.
It was a thing of beauty, Evgeni Malkin�s 10th goal this spring that sealed the Penguins� 7-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
Likewise, few would have laughed if Chris Kunitz also shed a few tears Thursday night.
These Hurricanes are a resilient bunch but they�ve got nothing on Kunitz.
The Penguins� right wing, roundly criticized for his lack of goal-production, broke through in Game 2 with Pittsburgh�s fourth goal of the game.
�It definitely feels good,� said Kunitz, who also had two assists and four hits.
�But our team is a close group. It�s not about the goal, it�s about the win.�
It was not only Kunitz�s first playoff goal since May 11, 2007, it was just his second in the last 24 games dating back to the regular season.
�I wasn�t concerned about him,� Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said. �He was doing the right things and going back to his foundation.
�I�m happy for him so he doesn�t have to hear that he hasn�t scored in a while.�
The Penguins, who will take a 2-0 lead to Carolina for Game 3 on Saturday, got plenty of scoring Thursday. Besides Malkin�s hat trick and Kunitz�s goal, Sidney Crosby added his playoff-best 13th and Max Talbot and Tyler Kennedy scored goals.
Carolina goalie Cam Ward also might want a good cry after Malkin scored his third of the game. Malkin faked a wraparound attempt, went to his backhand and fired the puck top shelf past Ward.
�It�s called the �Geno� for a reason,� Bylsma said. �There are not very many players in the world that can make a play like that and two of them are on our team.�
Indeed, it was the Penguins� second hat trick of the playoffs (Crosby had one against Washington on May 4). It�s the first time the Penguins have had multiple hat tricks in a playoff year since 1996 when Mario Lemieux and Jaromir Jagr had hat tricks.

Apple Unveils OS X Mountain Lion
With Mountain Lion, Apple continues to blur the lines between OS X and iOS, so much so, the advertising tag line is, "Inspired by iPad. Re-imaged for Mac."
With more than 100 new features to look forward to, Mountain Lion is going to be a must upgrade for Mac users with modern hardware (2009 and later). The tentpole applications for Mountain Lion include deep iCloud integration, Messages (replacing iChat), Reminders and Notes (taking over for features in the Mail application), Notification Center, Share Sheets, deep Twitter integration, Game Center, AirPlay Mirroring (requires a second generation Apple TV), and Gatekeeper.
Additionally, the Software Update control panel will be making the jump from a stand alone application to a feature inside the Mac App Store application - just like the software update feature in iOS.
You can read more about the major features of OS X 10.8 on Apple's Mountain Lion website.
With today's announcement, Apple has made Messages available as a free download to Mac OS X 10.7 Lion users. You can download Messages for OS X from the Apple website.
While Apple was publicly talking about Mountain Lion today, they weren't talking release schedules or pricing. Apple was only saying, "OS X Mountain Lion arrives this summer." Mountain Lion, like Lion before it, will be available only as a purchase from the Mac App Store. Registered developers can download a beta version of OS X Mountain Lion starting today with a $99/year paid subscription.
I remember when Apple first started talking about how Lion was going to bring many of the iOS features to OS X and was not really looking forward to 'dumbing down' my Mac. But Lion has been a nice upgrade and I'm perfectly comfortable with it, so much so, I'm looking forward to getting Mountain Lion installed sooner rather than later.

cosmetic treatment dental It was great. Got some cosmetic treatment done, came out of the clinic with a confident smile. Would recommend to my friends.
I'm extremely satisfied with their service. I have thoroughly enjoyed going to their studio, and their friendly service and brief explanation on my problem was fantastic !
They know what they are doing. Customer service and support is awesome. Clips implants is the best dental clinic i've ever visited.
Summing up, they are technically strong and smiling specialists.
Visiting this clinic was a very pleasant experience. I was able to get my implants placed here and also got a set of ceramic veneers for my upper front teeth. I must say the results were very satisfying and I can't help but thank Dr. Pavan, Dr. Dipti and their team enough.
yes I had a wisdom tooth growing unevenly and the pain it caused was horrible. Food used to get stuck in the tooth. So I decided to get removed it, but I was very afraid of getting operated. The doctor has removed the tooth in just few minutes and I didn't even feel any pain. That went very well.

Scott Disick steps out with 20-year-old Kendall Jenner look-alike
Is it just us or does Scott Disick's latest leggy lady look familiar?
Lord Disick stepped out in Los Angeles with 20-year-old model Christine Burke, who bares more than a passing resemblance to ex Kourtney Kardashian's 20-year-old model sister, Kendall Jenner. Burke wore black cut offs and a Rolling Stones T-shirt during their outing, while the 32-year-old reality star donned ripped jeans and shades.
WATCH: Kourtney Kardashian Posts Heartbreaking Tweets as Ex Scott Disick Parties in Las Vegas With NFL Quarterback Johnny Manziel
Burke, first identified by Us Weekly, was seemingly with Disick during his vacation in Mexico earlier this month. While she didn't share any snapshots with the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, the model posted a handful of Instagrams with her bikini-clad friends.
At the time, a source told ET that Disick was "not doing well."
"He's back in a really dark place," we were told about his time spent clubbing and pooling at Joe Francis' vacation home. "He was on the road to recovery, bought the new house near Kourtney, and was cordial with her, but he's been up to his old tricks the past couple of weeks."
WATCH: Scott Disick Speaks Out on Khloe Kardashian's Show: 'The More Money I Have, the Less Happy I Am'
This isn't the first gal Disick has been spotted out with since splitting with Kardashian last July after 10 years of dating.
Still, the father of three -- Mason, 6, Penelope, 3, and Reign, 1 -- has reunited with Kardashian a number of times as well, including during a family dinner for her late father's 72nd birthday -- which she called a "blessed and magical night" -- and a flirtatious outing to a Kanye West club appearance.

"They were being very flirtatious -- definitely did not look like they had bad blood," a source said about the night spent at 1OAK in L.A., noting they looked "very coupley." Another source said, "The two were super friendly and sitting close all night, certainly not looking like exes."
Kardashian denied rumors the two had rekindled their romance earlier this year, saying, "I feel like every day is different, but we're totally getting along. Like we have three beautiful kids together...He's family. He'll always be."
Meanwhile, Disick recently praised his ex for her NSFW Instagram photo. Check out what he had to say in the below video.

As many of you know by now, I have teamed up with 14 other AMAZING designers for the #HolidayStashdownCAL2015. This week is my pattern. Since I wasn't sure what everyone would have in their stashes, I decided to give y'all options! Either option uses less than a single skein of yarn. The fine weight version uses about 75 yards total or the medium weight version uses just over 100 yards total. I made my sample version of the fine one with two colors and I cannot wait to see all of your creativity in making these! So, I hope you enjoy this free crochet pattern for the Swirling Leaves Wristlet.

Now, I realize that I am not; but I feel like it.
Walking back to my seat after receiving Communion, I had one of those moments of clarity. "Lord Jesus, You are here. You are in me. You are greater than anything else I could ever want. In You, I have everything. You are the treasure I want for all eternity."
I am not the richest man in the world. Everyone who receives the Lord in Communion is equally as rich as me. That is staggering. How can I, how can we, not marvel at this reality? "Oh God, Creator of all, Your love for us is beyond all comprehension."

London's Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust has taken the radical decision to deploy Microsoft's Windows 8 on USB sticks after deciding against the expense of buying replacement laptops.
The UK's largest NHS trust trialled Windows to Go last summer during the London 2012 Olympics, allowing several hundred staff to work from a variety of locations including home during a period of peak medical demand.
The Trust said it had been attracted by the ability to manage the sticks as if they were conventional PCs using tools such as System Center Configuration Manager whilst offering roving staff across the Trust's clutch of London hospitals a full-featured desktop experience.
The deal is the first major UK public sector win for Windows 8 in this form factor.
"We originally thought the only solution was to provide staff with new laptop," said Trust deputy CIO and ICT head, Kathy Lanceley.
"However Microsoft's Windows To Go solution provided a far more cost-effective and seamless solution that not only allowed our staff to successfully work remotely, but also proved very simple to roll out,"
The capital cost of laptops seems to be a major reason against taking the traditional path, around £750 per machine with ongoing supports costs. The encrypted USB sticks that carry Windows to Go cost £50, she explained.
A second factor was a desire to incorporate BYOD; using Windows to Go employees could essentially start a secure Windows desktop from any compatible device they owned in a way that maintained a separation between the two worlds.
"In the future we see this as having great potential to roll out to clinical staff to provide them with an easy and secure way of accessing our Trust systems from home."
The project is an interesting example of how the traditional PC model is breaking down for some organisations in ways that have repercussions for different parts of that industry.
Under the deal, Microsoft will maintain licensing revenues; the losers are the hardware vendors that lose laptop sales and aftercare.
"People often think that healthcare workers are purely based in hospitals or doctor's surgeries, but often, clinicians are just like office workers, needing access to information quickly, effectively and at any time," commented Brian Dunleavy of Microsoft partner Ultima Business Solutions.
"Until now, IT teams haven't had the necessary tools to deliver such a fast and simple solution, but the availability of Windows To Go allows them to do so."
Windows to Go is a specific feature of Windows 8 Enterprise and requires a supported USB stick. The technology has some limitations such as the user not being able to access local drives other than the USB drive itself. IT also isn't recommended to boot booted on a system running Windows XP or Vista.

From the back of the book
In the opening pages of "The Killing of the Tinkers," Jack's back in Galway a year later with a new leather jacket on his back, a pack of smokes in his pocket, a few grams of coke in his waistband, and a pint of Guinness on his mind. So much for new beginnings.
Before long he's sunk into his old patterns, lifting his head from the bar only every few days, appraising his surroundings for mere minutes and then descending deep into the alcoholic, drug-induced fugue he prefers to the real world. But a big gypsy walks into the bar one day during a moment of Jack's clarity and changes all that with a simple request. Jack knows the look in this man's eyes, a look of hopelessness mixed with resolve topped off with a quietly simmering rage; he's seen it in the mirror. Recognizing a kindred soul, Jack agrees to help him, knowing but not admitting that getting involved is going to lead to more bad than good. But in Jack Taylor's world bad and good are part and parcel of the same lost cause, and besides, no one ever accused Jack of having good sense.
My Review
Continuing on from THE GUARDS, my rereading of Ken Bruen's penultimate series continues to bare fruit with THE KILLING OF THE TINKERS being another top read.
Jack progresses from mere alcoholic with a good natured if somewhat destructive personality to a full blown drug addict - coke the poison which pumps it's devilishly smooth disguised death in his very veins. It adds another affliction to the already well afflicted - and that's part of the charm isn't it? Jack's not meant to be a nice man, he's not meant to be the copper you run to. No. He's the bloke at the bar you go to when the bottom of the barrel has turned you down. Yet, he gets results - and in THE KILLING OF THE TINKERS he does just that.
Of course, this wouldn't be a Bruen novel if some claret didn't get spilled along the way. Enter a serial killer hell bent on murdering tinkers (oh there's a nice wee twist to this one) and a deranged maniac taking heads off swans and Jack's got a bit on his plate - plus the drinking and drugging, as well as the odd relationship with a lass and befriending a cop from London. Despite Jack being pulled in so many directions, Ken Bruen keeps it all on point, allowing each thread to overlap and merge with no another to form a greater narrative.
THE KILLING OF THE TINKERS is a fantastic sophomore outing for Jack Taylor.

New Lamb Shots
This year has been a good year for lambs. We are in a real drought situation in Southwestern Ontario, but I have so far been able to manage my pastures. The lambs are growing very quickly and I am very pleased with the quality of fleeces on their little bodies. Some are going to resemble a BFL while others have the length and openess of a shetland fleece. Most are for sale so if one catches your eye, please get in touch. Enjoy the pics.

Was It The Super Moon?
Wow, what a busy day of lambing! It seemed everytime we turned around, someone was in labour or had just given birth. Today we were busy worming the ewes and tagging the lambs that had been born over the past week. They are now outside with the non-pregnant members of the flock. We love watching them play and run around at dusk. Several photos to follow. Today four ewes lambed: three were singles and all ewe lambs and the fourth had twins and they were one of each sex. Lucky I was there when the last two arrived as they both were still in the bag and it was dark, so we wouldn't have s

Yes, I went for two SSDs, one for Windows (Gaming) and one for Linux (Development). I had seen problems with dual boot on single SSD. My ASUS ultrabook's SSD got crashed, which caused loss of code came out of long productive weekends, though its under guarantee so didn't caused me any monetic problem but a severe headache and frustration, YES! It actually hurts when your hard work wipes out like this, just because you wanna push the complete feature under a single commit. Now a days I commit & pushes everything before shutting down my machine. "Its better to squash multiple commits into one rather then loosing them" – Tushar!
Coming back to Exigo, many users from India had already given review on Amazon, tumbler, etc. Its actually upto the mark. In terms of gaming, till now I had played Tekken 7 & GTA V. Both worked smoothly on ultra high settings. FHD display works well, crisp & clear. Absolutely zero lags while playing. We even got option to overclock CPU & GPU separately. You can also download Azom Exigo windows drivers from here as well, select => Model :P7xxDM2/P7xxDM3 & Driver Type : ALL. For NVIDIA GTA 1060, install GeForce Experience first and then download the suggested driver by it.
In terms of development, on Linux Mint Sonya, Cinnamon edition, no problems at all. Though on linux we don't have option to customize RGB keyboard & driver for finger print sensor is also missing. I had tested this with multiple open IDE, like PHPStorm, RubyMine, PyCharm & Eclipse, docker running 8 parallel containers with one running image processing tools like tesseract, etc, one running python based backend API (built on Falcon) used for video asset manipulations (basically running ffmpeg on multiple threads), one running elastic-search, one running PHP NGINX based webfront, one running java program for generating recommendations (entity-to-entity map, entity-to-user map, etc), and so on.
- Machine with this configuration can obviously last for more than 3-4 upcoming years. And its scalable! so you can simply plug-in or out resources you want.
- Highly configurable in terms of hardware.
- Great cooling system for such high power computational stuffs inside.
- Desktop grade Core I7 7700 (7th Generation)
- Open socket MXM design GPU card, upgradeable as well.
- Bigger display & RGB backlit keyboard, made my Diwali even more colorful!
- Tight body, zero flex in keyboard region and minimal flex in display, makes it more durable!
- Quality customer support
- Bulky! yes around 3.5 kgs
- Body attracts finger prints, hence I got it laminated with custom decals from Nehru Place 😉
Final conclusion, happy and satisfied, plus productive ofcourse!
