A Simple Doc to describe how to set Permissions on Windows domain folders
Orçamento $10-30 USD
As the title says, I would like a Simple Doc that explains exactly what Permissions should be set on the folders that are used by IIS for the purpose of hosting sites. Someone who does this daily and knows it 100 %
It can be a very simple doc, screen grabs and a few words is all I need just to show what the correct Permissions should be set under IIS or typically right-click > permissions > security for a folder that is accessed by IIS.
For example
a) the site Root [login to view URL]
I want to be able to ftp to this, create folders here and in sub folders, upload files, delete files
No user access to this location
b) the site httpdocs
same as above for ftp for me
web user access for browsing etc, access to wordpress sub folders and other files for viewing like [login to view URL] [login to view URL] etc
c) the site httpsdocs
not sure what is required here
d) an Uploads folder - for example under wp-content - what should the permissions be on that
So for example is it IIS_IUSERS IWPD IWPG etc etc and what are the read / write settings etc etc

When people picture a successful CEO, they don't always think of descriptions like "down to earth" or "readily accessible." In fact, the first few traits they list might be "remote," "grandiose," or "somber." Not everyone welcomes the idea of having to walk into that person's office; many would truly dread it.
But it isn't like that with Talk Fusion Founder & CEO Bob Reina because…well, he's one cool dude.
The founder of the Brandon-based video communications company is just as likely to be stretched on the floor petting his rescue dog Bindi during a staff meeting as he is to be found hard at work behind his desk. One minute he's on an international call, making sure that the company's training guide is understood by team leaders in other countries, and the next, he's giving a new hire a fist bump on his way out the door, asking, "Everything all right? You getting the hang of it?"
That humble demeanor and concern for the well-being of others goes all the way back to the earliest days of Bob's work life. He was a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Deputy before he found himself in direct sales. In fact, he started a network marketing position while still working for the police department.
"When I first began in direct selling over twenty years ago, I was working full-time as a policeman," he confirms. "The only way we had to make extra money was by doing off-duty jobs. I made my share of mistakes, and there were many, many months when my phone bill was larger than my commission check," he says. "But I stuck with it, sacrificing valuable 'free time' because I saw the potential in earning income from a team's work rather than just my own. At the same time, however, I understood that direct selling was really just an opportunity—what I got out of it depended on the dedication and 'sweat equity' I put into it."
Before long, Bob was a top salesman in the field, but he found a need that wasn't being filled: video email. America Online said it was impossible, but Bob didn't believe that for a second. He ultimately founded his own video communication company, Talk Fusion, enlisted IT mastermind Dr. Jonathan Chen, and set out to prove AOL wrong.
He did it, achieving what the internet giant said was impossible: video email sent! Bob went on to create a company with two goals: to create new video technology to change the way people connect, and use that as a new product type for a direct sales business, instead of vitamins, lotions, cosmetics or household products. The result was Talk Fusion, which has gone on to become one of the top network marketing companies.
That was just the beginning of Talk Fusion's legendary story. Since then, Bob has leveraged his 20 years of relationship marketing and police officer background to push the boundaries of the video communications industry.
As a result of Bob's natural drive, unique products soon followed the introduction of Video Email – Video Newsletters, Live Meetings, and the latest offering, Video Chat. Video Newsletters engage customers, capturing their interest with a vibrant, expressive style they won't see anywhere else; Live Meetings video conferencing online enables an entire office to be anywhere with nothing more than an internet connection, a browser, and a web camera; and live Video Chat, which the company has offered on a free trial basis, enables users to set up chat rooms and hold video conversations from any device to every device – mobile, tablet, or computer.
A champion of animal causes, Bob is a respected member of his community, and is frequently recognized for his many civic contributions and charitable donations.
The story of Bindi the Shepherd mix is just one of many that show Bob's compassion. Bob adopted Bindi from Hillsborough County Animal Services (HCAS) after the pup lost one of her front legs to an alligator attack. Local media picked up the story, and Bob was named a "Hometown Hero" shortly thereafter. Before long, Bindi went from being an injured animal to something of a canine celebrity, though she apparently hasn't let it go to her head yet: she's a near-permanent fixture at Talk Fusion's main office, greeting visitors or silently begging for treats from generous employees she treats like family.
Bob's passion for team-building extended far into his vision for Talk Fusion. Because he started in the field himself, he knows what sales associates feel and what they need. He even created the Instant Pay Compensation Plan with incentives where associates can qualify for a luxury vacation to Hawaii every year, appropriately dubbed the Talk Fusion Dream Getaway.
"I know that being the CEO of Talk Fusion is an enormous responsibility," he adds, "but it's one that I embrace, that I love. You can talk about comp plans and trips and cars, but at the end of the day none of that matters if your spirit is not right. I feel a responsibility to the people in the company who are putting out the effort.
"As the owner of the company, I'm very vigilant about making sure that everything runs as it should and that we give everyone who puts forth the effort a great opportunity to earn income now and many years into the future."
Accessibility, approachability and integrity have all been hallmarks of Bob Reina's path to success in the world of network marketing. Bob Reina has thrived in that world for over twenty years, first in the trenches and today, as a great CEO with one of the best network marketing opportunities.
Above all, he believes in being a team player, something he conveys to all of his employees by being an active part of the team himself.
"I always played sports as a kid," reflects Bob, "and I think that discipline, and the desire to help your team, really shaped my attitude growing up. Winning was great, but there was something about working toward the goal of everyone winning as a team that really spoke to me. I know that's why I became a police officer – it gave me that same feeling of accomplishment to serve others."
Bob creates motivational videos where he speaks directly to associates, he hosts day trips for the corporate team on the company yacht, and he rolls up his sleeves and pitches in on everything from staff meetings to website concepts. His "can-do" attitude is just one of the reasons he's The World's Greatest CEO.

times that try (wo)men's souls
I am thankful that I am not God. I couldn't handle the pressure. But there are times when I wonder what He is thinking. I know in His infinite wisdom He does know what he is doing, but still…there are times that try the soul.
Times when you wonder why do mommies lose 3 month old babies? Why do other mommies not even get to birth their babies? Why do I have a son with special needs? Why does a husband think that another woman can meet his needs when he can't even look outside of a beer can? And the list goes on…but God is God and I am not. So I cling to one of His many promises…
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18

The Highlands & Islands Enterprise Renewable Energy Team in association with our area teams completed a project investigating the opportunities for the region in relation to hydrogen and fuel cell technologies.
One of the key elements of the project was a series of workshops held in each part of the H&I. The aim of the workshops was two fold, to inform local businesses and community groups about the technology, its current status and opportunities and to encourage people to put forward project ideas.
The workshops showed that the majority of projects in the Highlands & Islands were interested in creating hydrogen from a renewable energy technology, however the majority of project ideas required development.
In response to this, an information resource and project evaluation tool were created to provide practical information on several topics related to hydrogen and fuel cells, and to assist in the development of projects in the region. The information resource and project evaluation tool are designed to be of assistance to any community or business group to help identify the key elements to consider when setting up a hydrogen and fuel cell related project and to analyse the technical and economic aspects of production of hydrogen from a renewable energy primary power source.
The following information resource documents are available for download on the right hand side:
0. Document Map
1. Introduction to hydrogen energy projects – designed to give an overview of key issues to consider when setting up a project
2. Stationary and portable fuel cells – designed to give more detailed information on types, availability and project-related considerations
3a. Hydrogen vehicles – designed to give more detailed information about current availability and key operational issues
3b. Hydrogen refuelling and storage infrastructure – designed to give more detailed information about refuelling and storing hydrogen
4. Novel hydrogen applications – designed to give information on status and prospects for raw gas production, cooking and maritime applications
The explore programme provides news, case studies, supply chain industry database, and details about the growing energy industry in the Highlands and Islands...

Is the increase in Americans' habitual marijuana use a cause for concern?
The latest federal survey data shows that while teen marijuana use continues to decline in the era of legal pot, adult use is rising. The percent of people over the age of 18 who smoke it in a given year has risen from 10.4 percent in 2002 to 14.1 percent in 2016. In other words, 46 million people got high last year.

The blokart ice blades, first released in 2003, have gone through their most drastic redesign yet. Blokart has taken in extensive feedback from customers in Europe as well as North America and have now produced the most innovative design to date. A lot of options were considered to achieve the goals set by customers for a more stable Blokart that could perform in a wider window of conditions on the ice. Following is a list of where Blokart has come to.
Blade Length:
The new blades are now approximately 17% to 23% longer with the front blade going from 500mm to 600mm long and the rear increasing from 500mm to 660mm.
Ice Clearance
The clear ice clearance has now increased from 40mm to 60mm, giving 335 greater clearance from the ice. Blokart has also used a shallow bend to add stiffness to the blade rather than the original bolt on stiffeners, this means there is significantly less interference all the way up to 100mm over the previous design.
Untimately this all means we can keep running for longer when there is slush and snow on top of the ice, extending sailing time.
The overall width of the Blokart is nearly 200mm wider than the previous model, offering significantly more stability. Blokart overall width has gone from 1275mm wide to 1470mm wide. This is wider than the wheeled Blokart by more than 100mm.
Edge Life
The blades will now be supplied made in Core10 hardened steel. This will give an increased life on the edge sharpnes giving more ride time between sharpening. All blades are still sharpened on a CNC mill with the single "V" on the rear and the inverse "V" on the front to give a double edge to work with the roll-over steering.
The new Blokart blades will be zinc shielded and then powder coated to give a super strong rust proof finish while looking great. The sharp edge will be bare steel and require drying after use. Blokart has to make this compromise in moving from stainless steel but believes the functional benefits in-terms of stiffness and edge life out weight the downfalls of stainless steel while reducing overall expense and increasing ride time.
Joint Tolerance:
Blokart has re-engineered how the blades attach to the Blokart frame and also the mounting of the tow in adjustor assembly.
The blades will mount directly to existing 17mm Stub Axles and the standard Blokart fork. This eliminates clearance that was previously required in the rear axle joing and prevents excess wear from occurring on the fiberglass axle around the spring button.
*Actual production blades may vary slightly from the supplied pictures.

The cool new Kakuzai Wood Memo Block is realistically designed to look just like an actual block of wood. This unique stack of 1200 sheets of memo paper was created by designer Kenjiro Sano as a comment on the relationship between wood and paper. It not only looks like a solid block of wood on the outside, but all the notes on the inside are printed with a detailed woodgrain design as well. Don't bother counting the rings though, because I don't think you can determine the true age of post-it notes this way.

Agent to Agent: Agency Loyalty -- Going Above and Beyond for Your Customer
By Daniel W. Post, CIC
Post Insurance Services
Your customers are human, correct? This means you should have interactions with them in a humane manner to show you care and not treat them like robots. As an agency owner, going above and beyond when it comes to customer service goes a long way. By doing this, you can understand the loyalty and value your community places in your brand.
Your goal should be to do whatever it takes to show your customers how much you appreciate them. Remember to care about each person not as a number, but as a human. Here are some tips to help you humanize your agency's brand to appeal to your community in an authentic way:
- Interact and engage with your clients through different social-media channels. By communicating through different outlets, you can feel closer to your customers, resulting in brand loyalty.
- If something exclusive is happening with your products, don't let your clients hear from anyone else but you. This way, they feel included and special.
- Reach out to your clients for feedback so you can continue to improve your brand, products, and services.
- Spend time on executing a valuable customer experience for all who enter your business premises.
- Build trustworthy and honest relationships with both potential and existing customers. You can do this by making personalized phone calls or sending out personal emails.
- Always keep your promises. You could ruin your reputation by letting a customer down.
- Provide customers with more than they expect.
- Always listen to what your customers say. They are family, so treat them with respect.
From one agency owner to the next, I sincerely hope that these tips help you to develop a loyal client base. By helping them to understand that your agency is a reliable one, they can count on you through thick and thin.
Post Insurance Services is a second generation, family-owned independent insurance agency based out of Torrance, California. Daniel Post is the president of the agency.

An Addison Independent editorial posed the question: "What is the fastest way to get the pipeline extended to Rutland?"
The answer lies in one simple formula: Phase I plus Phase II equals Phase III.

MONTPELIER — The Public Service Board on Friday decided not to reopen the Certificate of Public Good it issued Phase I of the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project, allowing construction of the pipeline from Colchester to Middlebury and Vergennes to continue.
The state utilities regulator also detailed an increased burden on Vermont Gas Systems ratepayers, who will ultimately pay for the pipeline project.
In regard to Norton Latourelle's letter to the editor, Monday, Sept 29, we would like to encourage residents of Vermont (especially Addison County) and New York to consider his suggestion of an alternative to the contentious pipeline.
I call on the Public Service Board to re-open discussion of the permit for Phase I of the fracked gas pipeline. Here are some of the reasons.
ADDISON COUNTY — The federal agency responsible for regulating interstate energy projects has granted a waiver that gives New York and Vermont, the two states through which Phase II of Vermont Gas Systems' Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project would run, authority to approve or reject the plan.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a ruling Sept. 26 that Phase II complies with the Natural Gas Act, which prohibits the construction of a natural gas pipeline in an area already served by natural gas.
Kudos to Eric Davis for his excellent and concise analysis of the flaws in the Public Service Board process. He clearly identifies the needed solutions to make the PSB the independent body it must be in order to uphold the public trust. As an intervenor in the Phase 2 docket, I have come to the conclusion that the process as it currently stands violates Article 4 of the Vermont Constitution, which states:
MONTPELIER — The Public Service Board on Friday postponed technical hearings related to Phase II of the Addison Rutland Natural Gas Project while it considers whether to examine its approval of Phase I of the pipeline.

A.J. Harrison
A.J. Harrison started singing for live audiences at the age of 12. He has written over 400 songs, including their words, music and full arrangement. He sings, plays an Ovation 12-String Guitar, plays limited Midi, and enjoys communicating with his fans. He has won a number of awards for his music and has recorded with many noteworthy studios, such as Mix-O-Lydian Studios, in New Jersey, Airway Studios, in New Jersey, Songbird Studios, in Atlanta, Georgia, Twain Studios, in New Jersey, and Studio 78, in Georgia. A.J. has appeared on numerous television shows and has satisfied concert audiences for decades.
A.J. wrote two songs of defense for 13 year old AIDS victim, Ryan White. All proceeds went to Ryan and his family for medical expenses and everyday living. An unexpected friendship happened. The press and news media labeled A.J. Ryan's "big brother", a label A.J. very proudly wore. Now, 25 years after Ryan's unfortunate death, A.J. is still very touched by the memories of the profound friendship the two shared and has released a book about their friendship and experiences called, "My Life He Did Touch". Ryan died in 1990.
A.J. Harrison was a part of the NBC and CBS Radio Networks for over 3 years, Radio DJing. He eventually went back to his music full-time, but has thought about going back into radio several years from now, doing a local late night talk show.
He also tried his hand at acting for a few years, but it didn't work out as he had hoped. He says movies were too time consuming and he had great trouble memorizing lines. He did, however, enjoy doing television and radio commercials, including voice-over work, but found it still took time away from his real passion, music.

The Ridge Who Stole Christmas
The Ridge Who Stole Christmas
by Patricia Taylor
'Twas the week before Christmas and all through the land,
The ports were all quiet, the guardshacks unmanned.
The children were duct-taped all snug in their beds,
While visions of paratroopers danced in their heads.
And pa in his flightsuit and I in flak vest,
Had just settled down to take a nice rest.
When up on the roof there arose such a clatter,
I jumped from my bed thinking "terrorist chatter."
I looked out my barred window and what did I see,
But good old Tom Ridge looking straight back at me.
He was solid and big with a head like a bull,
He held in his hand a grenade, pin to pull.
"Now just remain calm," he said with a grin,
When he started to smile, his lips got real thin.
"We've heard some bad chatter and we want to make sure,
Our homeland's protected and our women stay pure."
With a wink and a nod and a chuck to my chin,
He swung through my window and let himself in.
With his FBI friends he poked here and sneaked there,
Making sure to take pictures and bottle stray hair.
When he was finished he gave me a frisk,
And a sly little pinch and a twist of my wrist.
Back up to the rooftop he nimbly swaggered,
And I heard him bark out as he quickly re-daggered.
"Now Georgie, now Condie, now Wolfie, now Libby,
On Colin, on Bremer, on Cheney, and Baker.
In the eyes of the world, through the fear of the masses,
Who cares if we're starting to seem like big asses?
Who cares if their Christmas has become something crummy,
As long as the contracts keep flowing through Rummy?!"
And I heard him proclaim as he drove off his car,
Terror Christmas to all and to all Endless War.
Patricia Taylor
Christmas, 2003 (via Buzzflash)

Cleaning windows can be quite frustrating; you think you're getting somewhere and then those unsightly streaks make an appearance. Well, if you follow our tips, you can say goodbye to smears and achieve gleaming windows, without having to pay a professional window cleaner.
1. Use Distilled Water to Dilute
With glass, you can see absolutely everything so it's important that you don't make the mistake of using tap water to dilute your glass cleaner. Whilst you may think water is water, you couldn't be more wrong when it comes to window cleaning.
You see, it's what's in the water that makes a difference. The water from your tap contains a number of substances, whereas distilled water is free from chemicals and minerals so it won't leave behind any streaky deposits or water spots on your windows.
So, when diluting your glass cleaner, always use distilled water.
2. Vinegar is Your Go-to
Did you forget to put glass cleaner on your shopping list? Don't fret; vinegar is your next best bet. It's as great on your windows as it is on your chips, plus it costs practically nothing to buy!
Vinegar works wonders for windows. Simply mix it with distilled water and spray or wipe it on like you would with any other glass cleaner. The pungent smell will stick around; however, it's definitely worth it for streak-free windows.
3. Go Easy on the Soap Suds
When it comes to cleaning most things, you tend to think the more suds, the better, right? However, suds are one of the main culprits of streaky windows. Whilst neither glass cleaner nor vinegar has soap in them, you may add soap to your cleaning solution if your windows are truly dirty. Well, we have two words of advice for you: go easy.
A little bit of soap can go a long way. Using too much will result in a very dense cleaner that could cause streaky residue to be left on the glass.
4. Paper Towels are a No-No
Paper towels are especially useful for most clean-ups, but not for cleaning windows. Why? Well, not only do they leave streaks, but linty ones. So, ditch those paper towels and instead opt for a microfiber cloth or squeegee.
5. If All Else Fails… Buff Away!
Unfortunately, sometimes you can do all the right things and still end up with the odd streak. The answer to this is to finish the job with a quick buff.
Use a chamois, microfiber cloth or alternatively, a rag will do! The tip is to keep it dry and simply buff over the glass after you've finished cleaning it. Those streaks will disappear instantly.
So, now you know how to successfully clean your windows. However, if your windows are in need of replacing, cleaning them won't make a difference. Invest in quality windows and you can improve the efficiency of your home, as well as the appearance.

{all photo credits to green wedding shoes}
We found this awesome DIY great for favors, giveaways, or just to do…b/c its soo cool!! Thanks Green Wedding Shoes for sharing this great DIY.
Ingredients:Pie Crust Dough (fave recipe or pre-made)2 12 oz. cans of cherry, apple or your favorite pie filling2 Tb of sugar1 large egg beaten
Supplies:6 4 oz. mason jars, cleaned with lids and labels removedHeart shaped cookie cutter1 Cookie sheet
Directions:Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Press the unrolled dough bit by bit into the jars a bit at a time (not too thick!) until the jars are lined with the dough up to the rims. Reserve some dough for toppers. Next, fill jars nearly to the top with filling of choice.
Roll out reserved dough to roughly 1/8 inch thick and cut out 6-8 hearts. Place the filled jars on a sturdy cookie sheet and place into oven.
Bake at 325 degrees for roughly 30-35 minutes or until dough becomes a light golden color.
At that time, arrange the dough hearts on the pies, brush the hearts with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake an additional 10-15 minutes until dough is golden brown all the way around the jars. If needed, place foil over the tops of the jars to keep the hearts from burning.
Remove and let jars cool on a rack. Decorate with ribbon, tags, or labels on lids as desired and give to your family, friends or wedding guests!

One of my favorite sayings is "What doesn't kill me only makes me stronger".
I currently teach a blended Early Childhood Special Education/Title 1 class. My sweeties range in age from 3 to 5 years of age. I have a morning class of younger students and an afternoon class of little ones who will go to kindergarten the following year. Without a doubt this is where my heart is! I have taught all the way to 7th grade, but I love the little ones. They crack me up! Their logic makes me happy. For instance, I had a little boy who got a cat (that happened to be black) when I asked him what he named his cat he looked at me like, "duh! His name is black kitty!" Why didn't I think of that?! I also was a parent educator in a program called Parents as Teachers. It began in Missouri, but other states also have the program. I would conduct home visit with parents who had children from birth to age five and take them developmental information.....what to expect at their child's age and things to do to help with their child's development. I loved that job, too. I think it really helped me become a better teacher. I was in many homes and saw where my students were coming from, the struggles parents had, and how that affected the whole child, especially at school. I missed the classroom though and jumped at the chance to teach at my current job. I am beginning my 5th year at my school. I love my kids AND I love the people I work with. After a particularly stressful day, they pick me up. I feel so much love from them. We would do anything for each other. You can't beat that with any job!
Thanks for reading and have a great day!

"Syntax" is the theory of the construction of sentences out of words. In linguistics, syntax is distinguished from morphology, or the theory of the construction of words out of minimal units of significance, only some of which are words.
According to this division, it is a matter of morphology that the word solubility decomposes into "dissolve" + "able" + "ity"; but it is a matter of syntax to analyze the construction of the sentence, "That substance is able to dissolve."
Although syntax is a traditional grammatical topic, it was only with the rise of formal methods growing out of the study of mathematical logic that the subject attained sufficient explicitness to be studied in depth, in works by Zelig Harris (1957) and Noam Chomsky (1957). Since then a flourishing field has been created; for it was rapidly discovered that the syntax of human languages was far more complex than at first appeared.
|Zelig Harris
In this respect, the development of syntax is comparable to other fields of cognitive science such as human vision, problem-solving capacities, and the organization of commonsense knowledge, all of which gave rise to difficult problems once the goal of fully explicit representation was put in place.
The dawn of syntax is marked by the realization that the structure of sentences is hierarchical; that is, that behind the linear order of words and morphemes that is visible in natural languages there is another organization in terms of larger or smaller constituents nested one within another.
Description of sentences at this level is said to give their phrase structure. Moreover, phrases of a given kind can occur within others of the same kind: It is this recursive feature of language that enables sentences of arbitrary complexity to be constructed.
|Noam Chomsky
The realization that phrase structure is recursive is very old. Assuming the categories of a complete noun phrase (NP) and sentence (S), Antoine Arnauld (1662) gives the examples (rendered here in English):
- (SThe divine law commands that [Skings are to be honored])
- (S[NPMen [Swho are pious]] are charitable)
|Antoine Arnauld
In linguistic theory the recursive structure of syntax is expressed by principles of combination modeled after the clauses of an inductive definition. However, far more complex devices seem to be required for a compact description that helps to reveal the basis of the native speaker's ability.
Chomsky's introduction of grammatical transformations opened the way to a variety of formalisms and developments. Chomsky also initiated the conception of linguistic theory as a study of the acquisition of a system of linguistic knowledge, or competence. Any human language is acquirable under ordinary experiential conditions by any normal child.
|normal child
The space between empirical evidence and the resulting linguistic competence is sufficiently great that a kind of readiness for language, universal grammar in Chomsky's terminology, is presupposed. Contemporary theory seeks to probe the basis for this readiness in terms of innate rules and principles of grammar.
Within philosophy too the theory of syntax came to play an important role in the systematization of mathematics, and assumed central importance in Rudolf Carnap (1934). Carnap distinguished between grammatical syntax, of the sort that a linguist might give in a description of a language, and logical syntax, whose aim was not only to specify the class of sentences (or well-formed formulas of a calculus) but also to use formal methods in constructing a theory of logical consequence and logical truth.
|Rudolf Carnap
Carnap employed the distinction between grammatical form and logical form, which plays a crucial part in Ludwig Wittgenstein's views both in the Tractatus and in the Philosophical Investigations, and has become part of the lore of analytic philosophy. The scope of logical syntax in Carnap's terms took on much of the role of semantics in later philosophical discussion.
Even with the later distinction between syntax and model-theoretic semantics, syntactic properties of formalized languages are still crucial for properties of systems of logic (soundness and completeness), and proof theory is established as a part of the syntax of mathematics.
|syntactic properties
In linguistic theory syntax and semantics have become increasingly intertwined disciplines, as it was realized that there are explanatory issues in relating linguistic forms to the specific meanings, or range of meanings, associated with them. S. Lappin (1995) contains a number of useful expositions on this theme; see also R. Larson and G. Segal (1995).
The current research climate is in practice very different from conceptions associated with "ordinary language" philosophy: The contemporary view is not that ordinary speech lacks an exact logic, but rather that a diligent, collaborative effort is required to find out what the logic is. The concentration on logic implies that syntactic investigations have a metaphysical dimension.
|Ludwig Wittgenstein
The patterns of inference of ordinary language call for formalization as part of a general account of the structure of individual human languages, or human language in general, and this formalization may in turn lead to proposals for reification, as in Donald Davidson's (1967) hypothesis that references to events are pervasive in ordinary action sentences.
On the side of linguistics proper, the problems of morphology have been treated in a progressively more syntactic manner as, for instance, our example solubility can be seen as built up by rules of a sort familiar from syntax. The result is the area now called morphosyntax, where the question whether morphology is a distinct level of linguistic organization is under active debate; see R. Hendrick (1995) for more recent discussion.
|Donald Davidson

"Why, she works at a Nail Salon, Watson..."
Attention Mystery writers!
I had a total Sherlock Holmes moment yesterday at the nail salon that I thought I might as well share, and that is this:
Nail Salon employee's have very distinctive nails.
*Their feet are always impeccable; they tend to wear flipflops in the coolest of weather, so as not to smudge their toe polish which is reapplied frequently and flawlessly, sometimes with rhinestone adornment.
*Their HANDS, however are usually very plain and always bare and devoid of polish. Their cuticles are trimmed, and their nails are neat and somewhat dry and yellow owing to (I assume) frequent exposure to polish remover.
*The thumbnail of the DOMINANT hand is curiously flat and the underside of the thumbnail is always spattered with many colours of polish. This is because, when their clients' polish tends to pool near the nail bed, they will correct this with a quick application of the thumbnail. This happens so frequently, that they almost never attempt to clean the polish, possibly that at some point it is assumed it will NEVER come off.
Possibly not important, but there if you need it.

His hair was getting longer and shaggy but because of his hair cut behavior we try and put them off for as long as possible. I asked him if his was starting to bother him and he said yes. So although it was my birthday and I really didn't want to deal with Noah's behavior during a hair cut, we decided to go ahead and take him.
Shockingly Noah was AMAZING during his hair cut. He did not have to sit in my lap; he sat there in the chair and did not fuss, rip the cape off, etc. It was awesome.
When he was done, I clapped and said good job. He then wanted the lady who cut his hair to clap for him and then wanted everyone else there to clap for him. So silly yet adorable all at the same time!

Throughout the day, 52 teams with over 210 participants will use their own background and skill-sets to solve technical challenges, all of which will have some link to the fun Super hero and villains theme, capturing points as they work their way through the puzzles and problems. Domain challenges will range from web application vulnerabilities, social engineering and exploitation to forensics, reverse engineering and cryptography, as well as a couple of treasure-hunts around the Smithfield area.
The Capture the Flag competition will run throughout the day and will be followed by a well-deserved after-party and networking event, featuring live bands and a DJ from 6pm.
According to Mark Lane and Mark Cummins, of ZeroDay CTF,
"The Institute of Technology Blanchardstown is delighted with the response to this event. Our thanks to our sponsors and to all those who took part to make it such a great event. We were delighted that we increased participation by over 25% and look forward to building on the interest in cyber security by hosting more events like this one".

"Robert Cochrane and the Gardnerian Craft: Feuds, Secrets, and Mysteries in Contemporary British Witchcraft" offers the results of my research into the strange and contradictory relationship that Robert Cochrane (1931-1966), Magister of the Clan of Tubal Cain and founder of Cochrane's Craft, had with the Gardnerian Wiccan community during the early 1960s. Below I include the abstract, a taster to the rest of the paper:
The English occultist Robert Cochrane (1931–1966) has remained one of the most enigmatic figures from the burgeoning contemporary British Witchcraft movement, being the founder of the Cochranian tradition and a core influence on the "Traditional Craft" current that has blossomed in the West since the early 1990s. The magister of a coven named the Clan of Tubal Cain, Cochrane was known for his scathing criticisms of Gerald Gardner and the Gardnerian tradition of Wicca, but at the same time allegations have emerged in recent decades that Cochrane was himself an initiate of that very tradition. In this paper, the author explores the complex relationship between Cochrane and the Gardnerian Craft, examining the nature of his criticisms and the evidence for his involvement in it, utilising both a textual examination of his published writings and private letters, accompanied with information obtained from discussions with some of his contemporaries and later followers.
Unfortunately, at £12.00 for a downloaded PDF, it doesn't come cheap, but I have no control over the pricing - nor do I see a single penny of that price (contrary to what some might claim, academia is hardly a pathway to a prosperous future). However, such is the nature of academic publishing in the age of capitalism ! Several ventures, like the newly founded peer-reviewed Correspondences journal of western esotericism, will be releasing everything that they publish for free, and it will be interesting to see how the profit-run publishers will respond to this threat to their hegemony over academic publishing.
It's not all bad, and Equinox Publishing, who have published The Pomegranate since 2004, have thankfully agreed to release their book reviews online as free PDFs, and if you're interested, you can check out my two latest reviews of books discussing the Traditional Craft: Michael Howard's Children of Cain (2011) and John of Monmouth's Genuine Witchcraft is Explained (2011). Any well-mannered comments or constructive criticisms of any of these latest publications are of course welcome!

Alan Jones
Born in West Yorkshire in 1946, from primary school on, art has been a major part of Alan's life.
Along with his love of sport, the art class was always the most rewarding at school, his teachers often allowing him out of other classes just to develop what they saw as natural talent. Neither they, nor Alan, could have known that this would have such a huge part to play in later years.
Motorcycles, girls, coffee bars, jukeboxes all the normal parts of growing up in the early 60's then took over but a huge road accident on his beloved Triumph Tiger 110 nearly took his life.
Art then became part of his life again, painting pictures for his children in married life.
Alan served his apprenticeship to become an outstanding Photo Lithographic Retoucher in the print industry, and later went on to become a Managing Director of a reprographics company for BPCC in the Robert Maxwell publishing empire.
A severe work related illness cut short that part of his life. Vowing never to work for anyone else again, art now served a vital part of his recuperation, and along with support from his second wife, Ann, a new life as a professional artist blossomed.
Motorcycle racing was and still is a passion, from his love of bikes, and the heroes that ride them, from the greatest, Mike Hailwood, through to todays modern superstars, it was a natural to progress and develop his art in this direction.
Alan found a natural home for his work, and through self-published limited edition fine art lithographic prints gained immediate success. A couple of years into his new career, Alan lost an eye to cancer but undeterred and fully supported, success followed success. All of the original prints being long sold out.
John Surtees, Kenny Roberts, Randy Mamola, Jamie Whitham, Franco Uncini, Nicky Hayden, Valentino Rossi, Jeremy McWilliams just a few of the riders who own Alan's original artworks.
Alan owes a huge debt of gratitude to Chris Herring then race team manager of HRC RACING, who helped make connections in WSBK, GRAND PRIX and MOTOGP.
Now moved to Cornwall, Alan is fully retired, and enjoying his new county, walking the incredible coastline with Ann and attempting to take memorable photographs.
HANSEN FINE ART are now proud to make Alan's work available in three Giclee printed sizes. These new prints are unsigned but have been seen and proofed for their quality and colour accuracy.

Graduate STEM Fellow Profile
Reena Rahi
Project Title:
City as Lab
Thesis: Catalytic hydrogenation of N-heterocyclic compounds promoted by metal nanostructured materials
College/University: City University of New York - Brooklyn College
Research Advisor: R. A. Sanchez-Delgado
Degree Sought: Ph.D., Chemistry
Department: Chemistry
Research Focus: Synthesis, characterization & catalytic studies of a series of nano-structured catalysts composed of metal nanoparticles
Teaching Partner(s): Julius Buh-Mbi, Rony Charpentier
Description of Research
My research focuses on the synthesis of a series of metal nano-structured catalysts that will promote hydrogenation of aromatics, as well as N- and S- containing hetero-aromatics, with a main focus on heterolytic mechanisms. These catalysts have applications in the oil refining industry, where they can potentially be used to lower the levels of sulfur and nitrogen contents through hydrodesulfurization and hydrodenitrogenation. Fossil fuels contain high level of sulfur and nitrogen containing aromatics that are difficult to remove with the current refining technologies. With the use of these new catalysts, we hope to achieve the new lower levels of sulfur and nitrogen set by governments.
Example of how my research is integrated into my GK-12 experience
As GK-12 fellows, our goal is to take our students on an authentic scientific journey. In this project, they are learning about air pollution: what are the causes, sources, and solutions. Air pollution is a serious issue in urban environments and causes many life-threatening diseases, particularly respiratory diseases. Since my thesis involves the synthesis of catalysts that can be used to clean fossil fuels to make them more environment friendly, I was able to integrate my knowledge of air pollution into raising awareness about it, and how students can make small changes in their daily lives to decrease the negatives impacts on the environment. To study the adverse effects of air pollution on Brooklyn residents, we examined the health of students' lungs by determining their lung capacity using the FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in the first second) meters. Through this project, students have learned the issues related to air pollution, what are some of the causes and sources, how it affects their health, and what is their role as the citizens of the world in helping raise awareness about air pollution, as well as making changes in their own daily lives that can lead to a cleaner, better environment for them and the coming generations.

Currently injured WWE superstar Bad News Barrett has given fans a look into the future claiming he could be back before the year is out.
The former Intercontinental champion has been out of action since June after picking up a shoulder injury days before the Money in the Bank PPV.
Barrett was stripped of his title after he was confirmed as being out with a long term injury and since then, hasn't been seen on WWE TV.
Barrett had been amidst a push up the card prior to his injury as he had been utilized as a hitman for the Authority.
However the injury to Barrett's shoulder ruled him out of the Money in the Bank PPV and unfortunately ended his push up the rankings.
- Former world heavyweight champion hopes to be a part of WrestleMania
- Absent WWE superstar set for extended run
- WWE star ready to quit company after Survivor Series
Barrett has now claimed to being 4-6 weeks away from returning to WWE TV and should be set to be back prior to the road to WrestleMania.
He was desperate to compete on last week's episode of RAW, being filmed in Liverpool, England, the city he studied in and only 40 miles down the road from his home town of Preston.
Barrett is rumoured to be lifting weights once again but is not yet ready to return as he doesn't have his normal size back.
Barrett appeared at the WrestleMania XXXI ticket party at Levis Stadium on Saturday alongside fellow injured superstar Daniel Bryan.
Despite being a heel, Barrett is one of the more popular superstars in the WWE and his return could come prior to next years Royal Rumble.
Bad news for Ziggler
Barrett was injured whilst holding the Intercontinental Championship and has since done several interviews where he discusses trying to get his title back once he returns.
The Miz won the title after the injury to Barrett and has since lost it to the current Champion Dolph Ziggler.
Ziggler is not set to defend his title at Survivor Series on Sunday as he is part of the big Team Authority vs Team Cena match.
A return before or even at TLC next month could lead to Barrett feuding with Ziggler and trying to retain the title he never lost.

I spent a short time as a teacher and I was very lucky to be involved in curriculum development – albeit curriculum development in agriculture in the South Pacific. No course had been established when I arrived and we set one up for the entire country based completely on continual assessment because we wanted people to have some practical experience of the subject they were dealing with when they left school. Therefore, I very much welcome the Minister's proposed changes. I went through college where continual assessment formed part of the course, although when there is negative marking as part of the continual assessment it makes it very difficult from that perspective.
Today 60 CSPE students from Naas CBS came to Leinster House. I asked them if they would prefer continual assessment or a single examination. Strangely there was a 60:40 mix in the response (majority in favour of continual assessment). I asked those who said they would prefer continual assessment why they would prefer it. They made two valid points. They spoke about the stress of a single examination at the end of a three-year period or in the case of the leaving certificate at the end of a two-year period. They said they would prefer a series of tests or assignments over a period of three years. They also regarded it as advantageous to be working continually throughout the three-year period instead of having to cram in all the information into the two-month period before that one single examination. The Minister should not only consult with unions and teaching bodies, but also with students to ascertain what they feel would be of benefit to the educational system.
In recent weeks I met parents, principals and teachers who expressed other concerns to me. They are concerned about the consistency of the marking, particularly in certain schools. Teachers are concerned that personalities might be involved. In a small school, a student's parent might be teaching him or her and there might be a particular perception of the credibility of the marking system in that case. I would prefer to see more external independent assessors involved, which might afford an opportunity for retired teachers or young teachers who have not been able to access educational employment to get involved in that aspect.
The other concern relates to the dumbing down of subjects. When I did the intermediate certificate, it was a respected examination because people could leave school at that stage and get into a trade. When I completed my leaving certificate it seemed to be a major examination. People with a leaving certificate got jobs – it was possible to get into the Civil Service with two honours in one's leaving certificate. Now the minimum requirement is a basic degree and in some cases further qualifications are needed. I love history and I am concerned that subjects that are not part of the core subjects for the new junior certificate curriculum might lose priority in schools.
Small schools might not be able to provide the short courses required. They might have five students who want to do Chinese but are not able to do so.
Principals have pointed out to me that they are required to include religion even though it might not be considered a core subject. However, it is taking up considerable time in the school. We need to question the necessity of having to have religion as a core subject without it having an examination.

Making the unofficial officially official, Eagles coach Andy Reid announced a few minutes ago that Terrell Owens will not play for the Eagles again this season.
And suddenly, somewhere in Bristol, Conn., a man in a suit looks in the mirror and, trying to pretend everything's all right, he straightens his tie and attempts to smile. He has no programming for the next two months; he's looking at dead air.
He runs a comb through his hair, looks down at his ringing cellphone, sighs deeply ... and answers. He knows who it is. And it's not going to be good.

On March 16, 2015, I started a strange project: using this website as a guide, I started running and counted each mile along Frodo's journey from Bag End to Mount Doom, a total of 1, 779 miles.
Tonight at about 8pm in Boone Park, I ran the final 2.21 miles of that journey.
Here are the numbers:
- Miles Run: 532.46 in 2015, 812.54 in 2016, and 434 in 2017 for 1,779 miles total
- Total Hours: 379.78
- Average Miles Per Hour: 4.7
- Total Number of Runs: 615
- Average Miles per Run: 2.89
- 5K Races: 28
- Ortega River Runs (5 miles): 2
- Gate River Run (15K): 1
- Weight Lost: about 15 pounds
- Injuries: Plantar Fasciitis in my right foot, pulled muscle in my chest
What did I learn?
For one thing, I seem to really like running, enough to keep doing it even when it hurt, which was strange. They talk about a runner's high but I don't think I've ever quite felt that. I think the real reward is the sense of pulling off a stunt with each run: "Hey, look! It's a fat guy running a 5K!"
Some people are motivated by being asked, "How did you do that amazing thing?" I'm motivated by being asked, "Why would you do that amazing thing?"
Another thing I learned is that running five or six times a week does nothing for your weight if you still eat like an idiot. Guilty as charged. That's the next thing to work on, now that I know I can do crazy things like run all the way to Mordor.
What about writing? Certainly there's some poignant parallel to be made between the determination it takes to run 1,779 miles and the grit it would take to, say, finish another novel, but why bother to make it? The truth is that with running, I always knew exactly where I was going and when it would be over, even if my foot was hurting. I never get that luxury in my writing, so the metaphor doesn't fit.
For what it's worth, I did run each of those 1,779 miles without much self-doubt or introspection, simply leaning forward when the timer started or the gun went off and starting my ragged shuffle forward. When I failed (slowing to walk), it was almost always because of dwelling too much on how hard it was. I psyched myself out too often, which I'm sure has nothing to do with my writing career.
What's next? Well, I'll still keep logging the miles and I'll bring milestones to your attention every now and then, but I'm letting the eagles fly me back to the Shire.

Sorry gang for being so missing in action lately. . . busy times. This is not my job, it doesn't pay bills so . . . lets just call this my public scrapbook of things I love. There now that I have taken the pressure off myself I can take a deep breath and jump into action:
I agree with Karly from Design Crisis blog. Some of the art is creepy in this modern escape owned by fashion designer, Delfin, and his lover, Postigo, a photographer. But the rest of the home is the creme de la creme. Whew, loving the white walls and the wooden furniture pieces. via

What is a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP Program)?
A Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP program, is designed for individuals who benefit from structured programming but do not require 24-hour supervision or medical assistance. This level of care provides partial hospitalization or day treatment services. Treatment for substance abuse disorders, and other co-occurring mental health issues, is delivered at varying levels of care, because no single treatment strategy will be appropriate for everyone. Treatment Plans at 1st Step Behavioral Health are designed through both client and counselor and assessed throughout the recovery process, tailored for the individual. 1st Step offers a partial hospitalization program for mental health and addiction disorders to individuals who can still safely manage in a home living environment. This setting allows clients the opportunity to participate in treatment throughout the day while living independently.
If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to call today for more information.
1st Step's Partial Hospitalization Program
At 1st Step, participants with the Partial Hospitalization Program generally live in our community housing, which is a beautiful apartment style, semi-private residence. Typically, clients who have been in an inpatient or residential program step down to this level of care, as it continues to provide a high amount of structure and support, while allowing more community interaction. Medical management, nurse practitioners, and access to doctors and psychiatrists is still available to clients throughout the program, and they will participate in therapy groups, structured activities and aftercare planning.
Interaction with family, peers and the community is highly encouraged through the recovery process, and 1st Step facilitates activities and transportation to meetings and events. Renewing the ability to sustain meaningful relationships with family and loved ones, and creating relationships made in recovery, is an important component of long lasting sobriety and well-being.
Friendships made through fellowship, in therapy or 12 Step groups, provide an invaluable support network for individuals who are in the process of changing their life in extraordinary ways.
The PHP Program and Addiction Recovery Therapy
1st Step's PHP program is structured with highly effective evidence based therapy for addiction recovery. Clients in our PHP level of care receive personalized therapeutic approaches at the individual and group level. Our dedicated and caring professional staff provide various clinical approaches of ego-modifying therapy, rational emotive therapy, experiential therapy, role playing and PTSD therapy. Family and loved ones are encouraged to participate throughout the treatment process, by being a part of therapy and groups. Through integrating into the recovery process it's possible for family to better support a loved one, and begin the healing process for themselves as well. Often, when a person begins their journey toward recovery, the most significant relationship they have nurtured is the one with a substance. Through uncovering the underlying issues behind addictive behavior, and restoring the ability to nurture important relationships and aspirations, it's possible to see a significant change take place.
If you suspect you or someone you care about may be struggling with a substance abuse disorder, we encourage you to call today for help and support.

Admittedly I do not know much about Black Rock Shooter. Also, I will admit, I really do not have much of a desire to know a lot about it. When I first saw this figurine all I knew is she had a flat chest and she looked surprisingly like my wife scar and all. Then, I saw it was made by Good Smile and I knew I had to have it.
As previously stated, Black Rock Shooter was released by Good Smile Company back in late December of 2009. I purchased this figurine from Hobby Fan for about 110 USD. It is a 1/8th scale figurine and is roughly 290mm tall.
This is a figurine that I have looked at often in our collection, I can honestly say I have say there many, many times and just stared at it. She is so petite and the gun she holds is so huge that its just crazy to look at. The base of this figurine is definitely my favourite part though. It is so massive, it has actual weight to it, you can tell it is a quality base right from the start. Good Smile really knows how to put a good figurine together.
I have a hard time reviewing this figurine, it was definitely the object of my obsession for at least a month after getting it, even now that I have it sitting in front of me again while I type this I am almost left speechless. The figurine itself is just straight up attractive, its hips are shapely and its flat chested, its perfect, my wife should cosplay this if I wouldn't want to murder any male that turned and saw her!
Lets get into this more though, lets see if I can justify my fascination with it better. The stancem for one, that she's in is just great. It does the weapon she's holding justice as I mentioned before the contrast between the tiny figure holding the massive weapon is just so … just so… anime. The chains on the figurine are actually real metal chain. The cracked tile where the gun is sitting makes it appear to have some serious weight to it. Her eyes almost seem to glow with some sort of unearthly power which draws you into the face. The hair on the figurine comes to such a point in some areas and is almost frosted with a blue tip that it almost looks like an icicle.
It can't all be good though, I do have a few nitpicks about it. The large gun itself, with the whole cracks in the base to show how heavy it is, it would have been nice if the weapon had some weight to it. It doesn't feel like its totally plastic but it definitely does feel light. Setting up the chains on the figurine was very difficult and I still feel we don't have them the way I would like to have it, more detailed instructions on its "perfect" setting would have been nice.
All in all, this is one of my favourite figurines in our collection, I have honestly considered finding another one to buy just so that I could have 2. I'll give this figurine 96%.
