Walmart to Launch EMV-Enabled Credit Card
Shoppers who use the Walmart credit card will be able to enjoy enhanced security as the store rolls out its chip-and-PIN credit cards. This is part of a significant and widespread movement in the United States projected to be completed in October 2015.
Walmart is not the first retailer to use EMV technology in its credit cards. The first major retailer to do this was Walmart's sister company, Sam's Club, which issued a chip-enabled MasterCard in June.
Walmart has been a long-term advocate for chip-enabled credit cards in the United States. The store started installing EMV-capable terminals at its checkout counters eight years ago, before this technology was very well known. These EMV-capable terminals are currently operating in more than 4,600 Walmart stores across the United States, and the company hopes to implement the terminal technology in its remaining stores by the end of the year.
The new EMV credit cards from Walmart offer a cash back program, where customers earn $5 for every $500 they spend. The card also takes 5 cents off the price of every gallon of gas consumers purchase from Walmart gas stations, or 15 cents for every gallon of gas they buy during the "Great Gas Rollback" promotion, which usually takes place throughout the summer.

This statement is a confirmation and an announcement that Bruin Feminists of 2014-2015 is co-sponsoring a resolution titled A Resolution to Divest from Companies that Engage in Violence Against Palestinians.
We are co-sponsoring this resolution because the cause for Palestine is a feminist cause. We acknowledge that our investment in corporate abuse affects intersectional communities and identities in the realms of race, class and gender. We stand with feminist scholars including bell hooks, Alice Walker, Eve Ensler and Angela Davis, who have called for international solidarity by feminist organizations to demand an end to injustices against Palestinian communities including "systematically having land confiscated, being deprived of their livelihoods, collective punishment, gender and racial violence, and ongoing expulsion and displacement from the Nakba until today." 1
We are co-sponsoring this resolution in response to Palestinian civil society's call for Boycott, Divest and Sanctions and Palestinian Queers for BDS' 2010 request for solidarity. Our response is instilled in the belief that endorsing a human rights-focused divestment campaign removes our complicity in violence against Palestinian communities. We acknowledge that our investment in companies harms the health and livelihood of womxn, who have been forced to give birth at HP sponsored checkpoints, and queer Palestinians, whose narratives are erased and suppressed by corporate violence. We acknowledge that our investment in select American companies allows for the demolition of homes, destruction of resources such as olive trees, and normalization of the occupation.
Lastly, we are co-sponsoring this resolution in solidarity with campus communities that have decided to commit to a campaign tactic effective in the late 1980s when the UCs divested from companies engaged in unethical practices in apartheid South Africa. We are in solidarity with other campus organizations because it coincides with our mission statement to be a feminist collective that endeavors to be globally conscious and socially active against all systems of oppression that have bound the freedom and expression of gender, sexuality, race and class.
Bruin Feminists for Equality co-sponsors the 2014 fall divestment resolution because UCLA should not invest in any sort of systematic racism, homophobia, ableism, sexism, xenophobia, classism or violence with the money it asks from its students.

Berrowhill Lane, Feckenham, Redditch, Worcestershire, B96 6QJ
A wonderful opportunity for you to own a parcel of lush grazing land. With just over 6 acres remaining, the land is available as a whole or in lots from just £29,000. The lots are suitable for a variety of amenity, recreational or other uses (STPP).
The land could also offer potential for those looking for equestrian use in an area well suited to riding out. Less than quarter of a mile to the north of the land lies an extensive network of bridle paths with access directly off Berrowhill Lane.
The site is pleasantly situated within the highly sought-after and affluent village of Feckenham, south-west of Redditch, east of Worcester and south of Birmingham. The village has a thriving rural community and house prices here are 55% above the county average and 82% above the regional average reflecting the desirability of the area as a place to own property – including land.
Lots A & B enjoy road frontage onto Berrowhill Lane. Full vehicular right of way is provided to the remaining lots via an easement (shown blue on the site plan).
The land is offered for sale by private treaty as a whole or in lots. The freehold is available with vacant possession on completion.
Uniquely there are no overage payments on this land – rare in today's land market.
The land is designated as green belt. Any development would be subject to the appropriate planning permission.
Non-farming buyers set the pace in rising farmland market
Despite the Brexit-related uncertainties, the farmland market has proven more resilient than many might have predicted as pasture land prices in the region increased by up to 25% last year.
Investors have played an increasing role in the farmland market as they tend to be attracted to tangible assets as they see them as a safe haven for their capital. Land in the right location remains in considerable demand for capital investment for many non-farming reasons, including development potential, privacy, tax reasons, or amenity.
In the immediate future it is anticipated that land prices will continue to rise, supported by a lack of supply.
If you are lookig to buy land in a different location, why not take a look at:
The land is available freehold as a whole or in lots. The site plan is indicative and Vantage Land may be able to amend the plan to offer you the acreage you require. Please call 01582 788870 if you have an alternative budget or size requirement.

Fox is a white creature type used for cards depicting carnivorous mammals, characteristically having upright ears, a pointed snout, and a long bushy tail. Foxes are related to dogs and wolves.
For a long time Arctic Foxes from Ice Age was the only existing Fox card. This changed when the Kitsune (Japanese: 狐) from Kamigawa were introduced.
After Innistrad added the Silverchase Fox and Theros Vulpine Goliath, the creature type became more common.
Storyline[edit | edit source]
Eldraine[edit | edit source]
Giant foxes are used as mounts by Elves on the plane of Eldraine.
Kamigawa[edit | edit source]
Even though the fox-folk of Kamigawa live within the Jukai Forest, the have the closest relations with the humans.[1] Even more so than the daimyo's Soratami advisors. Kitsune are long-lived beings with very strong beliefs in their traditions. These Kitsune always have a class beside the Fox subtype.
Notable kitsune[edit | edit source]
Plane of Mountains and Seas[edit | edit source]
Some foxes of the Plane of Mountains and Seas are sapient and appear in spirit form (e.g. Nine-Tail White Fox). It's still unknown if any regular foxes exist on this plane.

New York's multimedia Big Art Group makes its premiere local appearance April 23-25 with its "S.O.S." video matrix performance piece, exploring ritual, sacrifice, survivalism, revolution and "The Rite of Spring."

The Importance of Education in the Labor MarketJuly 23, 2018 Additional education beyond high school leads to higher earnings, lower unemployment, and a wider range of career opportunities. There are also non-economic benefits intrinsic to higher education based on experiences and skills acquired during a student's academic career. A better-informed individual makes better financial, personal, and professional decisions.
Educational Attainment over Time, 2000-2016
Overall, the Oregon population is more educated than it was in 2010. From 2010 to 2016 the share of the population age 25 to 64 with a bachelor's degree increased from 30 to 34 percent, an increase of more than 100,000 people. According to data from the American Community Survey, as Oregon's population of working age adults (25 to 64) increased by 4 percent from 2010 to 2016 the population of working age adults with a 4-year college degree increased by an impressive 16%. Almost all of the net increase in Oregon's workforce is represented by college graduates, as there was no growth in the number of working age adults with less than a 4-year college degree.
The Relationship Between Education and Earnings
It's widely recognized that more education leads to higher average earnings. The price differential between the less educated and the more educated is also known as the "return to education" and it has been the center of many studies. Economists have long studied and tried to measure the causal impact of education on earnings. However, the relationship between education and earnings is not easy to measure because wages are not always directly and exclusively tied to education. There are other individual characteristics that a person has that can also impact their overall wages. This complication in measurement has resulted in variations in the approach and estimation techniques used.
Despite the differences, all studies find that more education is overall associated with higher earnings. Also, several studies find estimates of the return to education that are similar in magnitude. David Card, an economist from the University of California, in his study "The Causal Effect of Education on Earnings reviews relevant literature on the relationship between education and earnings and found that most studies estimate that the return to one additional year of education is on average equivalent to an 8 to 13 percent increase in hourly earnings.
According to Card, most recent studies of the causal effect of education on earnings have their foundation in human capital theory. In his paper, he adjusts a conventional model of human capital earnings and found that in the middle 1990's, approximately 20 percent to 35 percent of the variation in earnings in the U.S is explained by the level of education and years of work experience.
More Education Associated with Higher Earnings and Lower Unemployment Rates
Education has a consistent positive relationship with earnings. Full-time workers in Oregon with higher levels of education earn more than workers with less education. In 2016, Oregon workers with less than a high school diploma earned an average of $21,839 per year. Workers with higher levels of education saw higher earnings, peaking at an average of $63,868 for workers with a graduate or professional degree. At low levels of education, Oregon workers earned almost the same as the U.S. average, but as the level of education rose, Oregon average wages were lower than the national average.
The earnings of those with an advanced degree have recently grown the fastest in both the U.S. and in Oregon. From 2009 to 2015 earnings of workers in Oregon with less than a high school diploma grew 5 percent while the earnings of those with an advanced degree grew 10 percent.
Workers with more education have lower unemployment rates. According to data from the American Community Survey, while the unemployment rate for Oregon residents ages 25 to 64 with less than high school diploma was 8 percent in 2016, those with a bachelor's degree or higher had an unemployment rate of 2.6 percent.
Oregon Job Openings Polarized
Oregon has been growing at a fast pace since 2014. Oregon enjoyed some of the fastest job growth in the country in 2017. Oregon employment projections show continuing job growth through 2027.
All private industries are expected to add jobs by 2027. Health care and social assistance industries are expected to add the most jobs, along with professional and business services. The construction industry is forecast to enjoy growth of 17 percent over the next ten years.
However, among occupations, the largest number of openings will be in occupations that have low educational requirements and that are low wage. This reflects, to some extent, the effect of job polarization in Oregon. Opportunities for middle-wage jobs may be shrinking, with simultaneous growth concentrated at the high and low ends of the spectrum. The fastest growing occupations will be those that either requires a college degree or just a high school diploma. Higher education requiring occupations such as physician assistants, software developers, and market research analysts will grow especially fast. At the other end, many occupations requiring just a high school diploma are also projected to grow faster than average; veterinary assistants, flight attendants, personal care aides, and medical secretaries.
Despite the disparity in job gains, educational attainment of the population will continue to play a key role in the labor market. About half (49%) of the projected job openings will require some sort of education beyond high school in order for candidates to be more competitive in the hiring process. A bachelor's degree or higher will be needed for about 23 percent of the openings at the competitive level.
There are many social and economic benefits of education. Earnings are higher as education rises. In Oregon, 23 to 26 percent of the variation in hourly earnings is explained by education and one additional year of education increases hourly earnings by 10 percent. Also, the possibility of being unemployed is lower with a higher level of education. Finally, a higher level of education can help workers qualify for a wider range of job opportunities and help keep workers competitive as an increasing number of jobs require higher education.

Thank you to bride, Laura, for this lovely photo! She used our Petite Red Candy Caramel Apples with Crunch as part of the dessert display at her wedding this weekend, along with homemade pies and cream cheese mints and, of course, wedding cake. We love this idea and the rustic, fall colors in this display are absolutely gorgeous!!
Paper Caramel Apple Boxes
At Daffy Farms, we're always on the lookout for fun new ways to package caramel apples and a little while ago, we found these adorable caramel apple boxes at Box & Wrap!
They come in three different patterns and range in price from about $0.60 to $1.20 depending on which design and the quantity ordered. They arrive flat.
And are incredibly easy to fold, as they are already glued in the right places.
They even come pre-punched with an 'X' in the top, for the caramel apple stick.
Ta-Da! These are seriously adorable with Daffy Apple Petite Caramel Apples in them…
…but they also work really well with larger, gourmet apples!!
Dipping Things (Other than Apples) in Caramel!
Sure Daffy Farms caramels are great for dipping apples, but did you know they make fantastic dipping caramels for other desserts? Our candy chef did some experimenting with several other items, so we could really see if our caramel held up to the test. It did! And with delicious looking, delicious tasting, results!
We dipped giant marshmallows in both our Traditional Caramel and our All Natural Baker's Caramel. Both caramels held up well. Then we coated them with milk, white, and dark chocolate, as well as chocolate mini gems, pecans, and crispy cereal.
We dipped pretzel rods in both caramels, and topped them with milk, white, and dark chocolate, pecans, carnival sprinkles, sandwich cookies, and crispy cereal.
We dipped potato chips in both caramels, and topped them with milk, white, and dark chocolate, and pecans. Our candy chef even made bride and groom chips, which are adorable!
We made pecan clusters using both caramels, dark chocolate, and sea salt.
And last, but definitely not least, we dipped sandwich cookies fully and partially in both caramels and topped them with milk, white, and dark chocolate, and pecans. Venturing into the cookie realm, made us realize that almost any cookie in the grocery store aisle would work well with this application and suddenly become a homemade candy-like treat!
A Gorgeous Display and a Generous Review

Fall Wedding Photos!
Thank you to Denise for sending us these adorable photos! She used our Petite Caramel Apples as place cards for her wedding last fall!!
A Tale of Three Caramels
For over 60 years, Daffy Apple has been famous the caramel on our caramel apples. Recently, though, we've been on a mission to fill a gap in the market for a cleaner label caramel. What we found is that there are some different needs for different companies, wholesalers, and individual customers. So we came up with three different caramels, Daffy Farms All Natural Baker's Caramel, Daffy Farms All Natural Dipping Caramel, and Daffy Farms Dipping Caramel with Butter. All three caramels are now available for purchase on the our website, as well as our Daffy Apple Traditional Daffy Apple Dipping Caramel and Daffy Apple Red Candy Dipping Caramel, and each has a slightly different usage and ingredient profile, so that hopefully we have a caramel to fit your specific needs!

Every relationship has its ups and downs. This is especially true when you live far from your significant other. The stress of distance and loneliness can add stress to the strongest long-distance relationship. However, communication and understanding can fix many problems before they have a chance to derail your relationship.
Avoiding the Green-Eyed Monster
Jealousy can be a dangerous emotion, especially in a long-distance relationship. While some jealousy is normal when you can't spend as much time as you want with your boyfriend, prolonged bouts of jealousy cause deeper problems. If you frequently argue with your boyfriend about who he is spending time with and what they're doing, he might start to lie to avoid an argument. To avoid this, establish clear boundaries. Define what is and isn't acceptable interaction. Then, if you do feel stirrings of jealousy, remind yourself that trust is the basis of successful relationships and turn your focus on all the reasons you have to trust your boyfriend.
Curtailing Criticism
No matter how much you love your boyfriend, there are going to be time when he irritates you. In order to avoid problems in a long-distance relationship, it's important to keep those situations in perspective. When something bothers you, try not to react immediately. Instead, pause a minute and ask yourself if this incident will still matter to you in a year. If it won't, try to let it go. Since you have limited time together, you don't want to ruin it with needless criticism.
Fighting Fair
No relationship is completely fight-free. The key to solving problems is to make sure arguments are constructive and that they actually focus on solving the issue. Be specific about the things that are bothering you but avoid verbally attacking your significant other. If you can tell him how you feel and why you feel that way, you are creating a conversation in which you can both express your feelings. This will be the first step in solving the problem.
Accentuating the Positive
A positive attitude can make all the difference in a long-distance relationship. When you're feeling frustrated or disappointed, think back to when you first met your boyfriend. Remember all the reasons that you first fell in love with him and all the great things he's done for you throughout the course of your relationship. After all, you picked him for a reason. If you keep those reasons in the forefront of your mind, you will be more likely to feel satisfied and avoid problems.

Ladies and gentleman, the role of your Association remains just as important today, as it was 82 years ago: To serve as the primary public policy advocate for fresh fruit growers and shippers in California. Each day, our industry is bombarded with challenges from the State and Federal Government, regulatory agencies, the retail sector and labor unions.
President's Messages
As I conclude my first year as President of the California Fresh Fruit Association (CFFA), I am humbled at the opportunity to represent such an amazing segment of California agriculture. In my previous political life, my public service included Mariposa County and Washington D.C. My experience in Sacramento was very limited. I quickly learned that agriculture was not held in high regard by our state leaders and that there was much work to be done. From my first day on the job, it has been my goal to get California agriculture back on offense.
Recently I made the very difficult decision to conclude my time here with the California Fresh Fruit Association and take the position of president of the California Agricultural Leadership Foundation.
Previously we have written how the California Legislature persists in ignoring the warning signs from production agriculture in California as they continue to heap more and more regulations and costs on farmers.
The current legislative year in Sacramento is shaping up to be one of the most impactful in memory and, unfortunately, not in a good way. Earlier in the year, we heard Governor Brown explain how the state needed to be sure to live within its means and to not repeat the mistakes of earlier leaders who when faced with an improving economy immediately began ramping up spending programs.

Hello I'm looking for a nice audio player with audio-book and network support. I know banshee has that but i rather use something that isn't coded in mono. Another no no is KDE programs, Qt is fine but not a program that was especially developed for KDE like Amarok.
I've looked at a couple like clementine, guayadeque, audacious and so on, but no one besides banshee seams to have audio-book support.
Any suggestions?

Dear Loser
I have not lived in reveries since you left, yet there have been instances when I think of the time when your presence danced around me. I could have felt you for life if you would have been a bit more manly when we parted. Let me tell you that this letter is not to remind me of a desolated state that you left me in, neither does it entreat you to come back to me. These things don't mean much to me now.
I'm happy to have everything I yearned for. I told you about my husband when I didn't know him much and you had your apprehensions about him. Well, let me tell you now that he is a man of character and honor. I know these traits are unique for you as you were never bestowed with them. There hasn't been a day that he cared less for me when I needed. Love now has a new meaning for me. Last night he held my hand and told me that he would choose me in next thousand lifetimes if that choice ever comes to him.
Sometimes after my chores I look outside the window towards an invisible dream, far far away and a slight hint of you passes by. I have a shoulder to rest my head and arms to take me in warmth. I don't know whether it's odd or awkward when I feel you over his shoulder.
I have stopped shedding tears over you as you had always disliked me crying this way but what did I have except for asking you to stop? In those years of my existence you were my everything. I fought with God for you and you promised to do the same but today here I am peeling my skin of the fingers, burying my nails aimlessly and this too doesn't give me pain.
I thought of ending my life once and now I laugh at it. I have lived in these dark corners and have nurtured my love for them. Have you ever thought of being me and going to bed every night with a man who is not you but loves me more than you. Isn't it ironic how I keep you guessing. You would be so happy to see that I'm happy and I moved on or you would laugh at my feelings and consider them fake when you think of my husband but I know that somewhere in your heart you would push aside all the thoughts and care for me still.
If I would have taken my life that night, you would have done the same maybe for my love or to save yourself from the humiliation but I didn't want to make things easy for us. It's a feeling that I wanted you to feel. I havent put a looking mirror in my handbag for a long time now because even dressing up and loving is monotonous.
He's here and I love to cook for him and hum at my songs, feed a few birds and water my flowers. I read a lot now but only the softer reads as the previous ones rejunavate inside me the dead soul of a strong woman. I chat all day with women who are common and have accepted the fact of being housewives. I tried to teach them ideas to grow out of their condition but they always smiled and now after all these years I wear the same smile on my face and look upon this new girl in the neighbourhood.
I have accepted life. A life without you. I wonder if you would have fought the world to chose me even then, maybe, we would have been this way. The mediocre people. We would have exhausted our ideas and given ourselves to the plabeian thoughts that we are meant to think. Sometimes I wonder maybe it was worth trying but when I look upon it, I feel that even you couldn't have given me what you promised. All the love in this world and all the caressing can't change the smile that I wear now. Not even you, not even me.

A Secure Digital card is a small, portable memory card that can be accessed on any device that has an SD card reader or adapter. The amount of information an SD card can hold varies, but one can usually comfortably fit many music songs in digital format. To transfer the music from a CD to an SD card, you must first convert the individual songs into digital files using a CD-ripping utility.
Convert CD Tracks to MP3
Insert the music CD into your computer's disc drive.
Launch your CD-ripping utility. If you do not have one, you can download a free program such as Audiograbber, CDex or Free CD Music Converter (see Resources).
Video of the Day
Allow the program to automatically create a song list from your music CD. You should see the song tracks appear in a window in the utility. Some programs will automatically find the song names while others may require you to type in the track titles manually.
Place a check mark next to the songs on the CD you would like to convert.
Select MP3 as the output file type. You may need to place a check mark next to this or choose it from a drop-down menu.
Start the ripping process by clicking a button. Different programs will label this differently, but the button will usually say something like "Convert" "Rip CD" or "Grab."
Allow the program to convert the CD tracks into MP3s and place them in a folder on your computer. This may take some time to complete.
Transfer MP3s to SD Card
Insert your SD card into your computer's SD card reader.
Open the folder where your CD-ripping utility stores converted files. If you don't know the default folder for your utility, you can usually find it by clicking "Options" or "Properties" from the top menu bar. Look for a section that shows the output folder for the program.
Highlight the CD tracks you would like to move. You can hold down the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard and click each track once to highlight more than one at a time.
Release the "Ctrl" key, right-click on one of the highlighted files and choose "Copy" from the menu. This will copy all of the files that you have currently highlighted. Minimize the music folder and double-click the "My Computer" icon on your desktop. This will show you a list of drives and storage on your computer, including your SD card.
Double-click your SD card to open the storage drive window.
Right-click inside of the SD card window and choose "Paste" from the menu. This will place a copy of all of the CD tracks on your SD card.

Deer Antler Velvet's Place in Chinese Herbalism
Chinese herbalism, also known as Chinese tonic herbalism, is an ancient traditional practice of medicine dating back thousands of years. The principals of Chinese herbalism have been meticulously documented and preserved over the years, unlike any other system of medicine. The premise of Chinese herbalism is to build up the body so that disease and illness never take hold. The absence of sickness coupled with an overall feeling of well being and vitality is the essence of Chinese herbalism.
Chinese herbs are often referred to as tonic, because of the tonifying effects they have on the blood and organs of the body. In the same way that a body builder lifts weights to tone their muscles, tonic herbs tone the internal organs. Chinese herbs are often categorized by which organ or organs they target. For example, Siberian Ginseng is known to tonify the spleen and kidneys.
Another word often linked to Chinese herbs is adaptogen. An adaptogen has the ability to normalize many different bodily functions that may be out of balance. If your immune system is working too hard, as is the case with auto-immune disorders, an adaptogen can help calm it down. Or if your immune system is under active, an adaptogen will boost it up. Providing the body with the tools needed to adapt to an unwanted situation is precisely what the top adaptogenic herbs do.
Deer antler velvet is regarded as one of the top Chinese herbs because of its tonic and adaptogenic properties. "Emperor's Tonic" is a nickname of deer antler velvet because it was once only available to Chinese royalty. While technically not an herb, deer antler velvet and other non-herbs like Ant and Pearl are included in the ancient system of medicine because of their extraordinary health promoting properties. Other top Chinese herbs include Ginseng, Reishi, and Royal Jelly.
Deer antler velvet's inclusion into the upper echelon of Chinese herbs can be traced back thousands of years to the time when the Chinese started making tonics with antler velvet tips, extensively testing the effects over time. They discovered deer antler velvet's ability to strengthen the kidneys, adrenals, bones, tendons, joints, brain, heart, blood, and more. Deer antler velvet has a positive impact on almost every major bodily system.
I encourage you to explore other articles on deer antler velvet and learn how you can benefit from this superior tonic herb.

External monitors might seem like a luxury, but there are important distinctions that make them indispensable tools in the field.
In this video I go through 10 such reasons why you might need an external monitor:
Here are the 10 reasons in a nutshell:
- Frame markers. Some cameras do not have standard or custom frame guides like 1.85:1 or 2.39:1. If you need these options you need an external monitor that will allow you to do the same.
- Desqueeze. Panasonic is said to release a firmware update that allows desqueezing of anamorphic images in-camera (GH5), but it's not here yet. Even if it were an option, the sensor has an aspect ratio of 4:3. With a 2x anamorphic adapter or lens, you're getting 2.67:1 and you most likely will be cropping off the sides. An external monitor will help you frame exactly to your final look, as long as it has a combination of desqueeze and frame guides.
- Easy flicker detection. Ever shot at a shutter speed where the lights strobe across your screen? Well, it's a lot harder to detect on a smaller LCD. A bigger 7" monitor is definitely ideal. The GH5 has a flicker correction option but you can't fix what you can't see.
- If you change shutter speeds you get different kinds of motion effects. You won't know if you have gone too far because the motion is hard to study on the back LCD. A larger monitor will definitely help you see better.
- Custom profiles. You can't judge colors off the back LCD. To accurately set profile colors you need a calibrated professional grade monitor. There's just no two ways about it.
- Most camera LCDs are as good as mirrors in outdoor conditions. You really need a monitor with a hood. A monitor will sit at a nice height and allow you to actually see what you're shooting.
- Maneuverability of the external monitor. You can attach it with a magic arm and it will swivel into any position you want. You can detach it and hold it in your hands. Even though the flip screens are great, it can't beat the options an external monitor gives. And of course, the flip screen is hindered somewhat by an HDMI cable if you use an external monitor.
- Others can see what you're shooting. If you have crew that depends on the live image to do their work well, you need an external monitor. At least a 7" one. Examples are focus pullers, hair and make up artists, yourself, the director, and anybody else who has paid the price for admission to watch.
- You can reposition the scopes better on an external monitor, but you also have the option of false color. I'm not a big fan of the false color tool, but many find it useful. If your external monitor has it, and you find it intuitive, then you need it.
- Monitors can be powered separately. The GH5 has a great battery life. Cameras like the Sony a7S II don't, to put it kindly. If you can power your monitoring needs separately, that's an advantage.
There are other reasons that should be more obvious:
- You can focus better because of the bigger image.
- You can catch continuity errors easily.
- You can see dust spots easily.
- Some monitors are also HDMI to SDI convertors. If you need a long cable run then this is your ticket.
If you know of more reasons, let me know in the comments below.

Are you an au pair? Login here
With shorter days and colder weather, you and the children are probably spending more time inside the house. Please be sure that the house is "childproof" with these simple tips:
If there is an alarm system for the house, be sure that the au pair is listed with the alarm company as a legitimate user of the alarm. Also, the au pair must know the appropriate security code in case of a false alarm.
Information from the National Safe Kids Campaign http://www.safekids.org
Even innocent looking items like household plants and vitamin supplements can poison a child in less than a minute. And commonly used products such as cosmetics, detergents and medicines can be fatal to young children if left within their reach.
Children ages 5 and under are particularly vulnerable to poisonings due to their curiosity and natural desire to put everything into their mouths.
If a poisoning does occur, follow these guidelines:
Skates, tricycles, toy trucks and cars, wagons and balls are among children's favorite playthings. But in one year, according to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates, there were 150,000 toy-related injuries serious enough to require hospital emergency room treatment.
Falls are the most frequent kind of accident, but many serious injuries result from children swallowing small parts or placing tiny toys in noses or ears, from exploding gas-powered toys, from flammable products, and from sharp edges.
Each year, some 5,000 new toys enter the market-place. The holiday season finds over 150,000 different kinds of toys for sale in approximately one million stores. Despite the efforts of manufacturers, retailers, safety inspectors, and others, it is impossible to examine every toy. But it is possible for parents and other relatives to check every new toy they buy and every old toy around the house for possible hazards.
The following suggestions can help you keep playtime a safe, fun time.
Choose toys for very young children with extra care. Playthings that are safe for older children can be hazardous to little ones. Keep in mind that toddlers trip and fall easily, and that, with infants, "everything goes into the mouth."
When choosing a toy for a toddler or infant, make sure it:
Although any toy can be dangerous if misused, some toys that enter the marketplace are either unsuitable for children, or designed or constructed in a way that poses hazards to a child. Toys and other products intended for use by children that present electrical, mechanical, or heat hazards can be banned from sale. Since 1970, more than 1,500 hazardous toys and other items have been removed from sale, including:
A 1973 regulation specifies maximum temperatures and requires reliable electrical construction for electrically operated toys. Electrical toys must have warning labels indicating they are not recommended for children under a certain age. In the case of toys that contain a heating element, the toy may not be recommended for children under age 8.
Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers have legal responsibility for making sure they do not sell dangerous toys. Safety inspectors check factories, warehouses, and retail stores to insure compliance with the law. Imported toys, too, are checked for safety hazards.
However, safety standards and regulations cannot cover every situation, and among the thousands of toys entering the marketplace each year, some unsafe toys are likely to reach the consumer. Careful toy selection and proper supervision of children is still - and always will be - the best way to protect children from toy-related injuries.
O - 18 Months
18 Months - 3 years
3 - 6 years
Learners will be able to:
When you first pick up a toy, what should you look for to ensure that the toy is safe? What would you look for in a bicycle, stuffed animal, dolls, squeeze toys, metal truck, or electric train?
Give an example of an unsafe toy. What makes this item hazardous for a child?
Why are there so many toy-related injuries during childhood? Who is responsible for the problem - manufacturers, parents, or children?
What kind of educational program is needed to help parents and children learn more about toy safety? What kinds of suggestions would you offer to parents to protect their children?

Au Pair in America values your privacy, and the security of your personal information is always a priority. For your safety and financial protection, please take a moment to read this section about how to stay safe online and avoid becoming the victim of a scam.
Recognizing a Scammer
Internet scams/online fraud are becoming more common. We have all received emails from people claiming to be a well-known bank or telling us we have won an amazing prize, but some scammers take things further. A scammer may pose as a host family or an au pair organization and will try to gain your confidence via email. Once they have gained your trust, they will ask you to wire/send money to them using a money transfer company such as Western Union of Money Gram. Do not fall for this - never send personal details (eg passport info) or agree to wire or transfer money using money transfer companies, cashier's checks or money orders - you are being scammed! Always remember that no reputable business or organization would ever ask for personal details or money to be wired/sent over the Internet.
Scam Checker
Most scams involve one of more of the following:
What do Do
If you think you are being targeted by a scammer claiming to be an Au Pair in America representative or Host Family, or you are concerned about the authenticity of an email, phone call or message, contact us via our toll-free number at (800) 928-7247 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also run searches on the Internet to check out suspicious email addresses, so if in doubt, check it out!
Au Pair Matching Sites
Please note that Au Pair in America has no direct affiliation with public au pair matching sites. If you do post a profile either as an au pair or a host family on a public au pair matching site, please make sure you read that site's scam prevention information carefully, and, as above, never send personal info or agree to wire/transfer money to people you meet on these matching sites. If you think you are in contact with a scammer via one of these sites, inform that site immediately.

Fire is FAST!
In less than 30 seconds a small flame can get completely out of control and turn into a major fire. It only takes minutes for thick black smoke to fill a house. In minutes, a house can be engulfed in flames. There is only time to escape.
Fire is HOT!
Heat is more threatening than flames. A fire's heat alone can kill. Inhaling super hot air will scorch your lungs. The heat can melt clothes to your skin.
Fire is DARK!
Fire starts bright, but quickly produces black smoke and complete darkness.
Fire is DEADLY!
Smoke and toxic gases kill more people than flames do. Fire uses up the oxygen you need and produces smoke and poisonous gases that kill.
You and your family can help make your home safer from fire. Here's how:

As the weather warms, it is likely that you will be spending more time outside. Outdoor play is important for children - to move their large muscles, enjoy the fresh air and explore nature. It is important to use sunscreen to protect from the sun's harmful rays, and it is also important to be aware of possible disease-bearing insects.
Mosquitoes and ticks are a problem that can't be ignored. Not only are they unpleasant, but they have been found to carry potentially fatal illnesses, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever, West Nile virus, malaria, Lyme disease, dengue fever and equine encephalitis, all of which have been reported in the United States. Prevention of bites is very important both through physical barriers to contact (clothing) and through the use of chemical repellents.
There is a need for using caution when applying insect repellents containing DEET to the skin of young children. Look for products that have about 30% DEET. Products with lower concentrations (10% to 15%) can be used for children if families are concerned about the potential risks of DEET.
The EPA and others have made the following recommendations regarding the use of DEET in children:
There is no evidence that non-DEET repellents are as effective as those containing DEET. In fact, some alternatives may be more toxic. Yet using DEET repellents on the skin isn't the only way to avoid mosquito and tick bites.
Since mosquitoes can bite through very thin fabric, applying DEET-containing substances to clothing offers added protection with less potential for exposure.
Finally, long sleeves with cuffs and long pants with tight cuffs or tucked into socks or shoes are excellent barriers to ticks.
This information is adapted from the website of the American Academy of Pediatrics. See full information at http://www.aap.org/.
Here are some additional tips from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (visit their website at http://www.cdc.gov).
Avoid tick habitats: Whenever possible, avoid entering areas that are likely to be infested with ticks, particularly in spring and summer when nymphal ticks feed. Ticks favor a moist, shaded environment, especially areas with leaf litter and low-lying vegetation in wooded, brushy or overgrown grassy habitat.
Perform a tick check and remove attached ticks: The transmission of B. burgdorferi (the bacteria that causes Lyme disease) from an infected tick is unlikely to occur before 36 hours of tick attachment. For this reason, daily checks for ticks and promptly removing any attached tick that you find will help prevent infection. Embedded ticks should be removed using fine-tipped tweezers. DO NOT use petroleum jelly, a hot match, nail polish, or other products. Grasp the tick firmly and as closely to the skin as possible. With a steady motion, pull the tick's body away from the skin. The tick's mouthparts may remain in the skin, but do not be alarmed. The bacteria that cause Lyme disease are contained in the tick's midgut or salivary glands. Cleanse the area with an antiseptic.

Hunting season occurs at different times of the year depending on the animal being hunted and the state you live in. You can check on the internet for hunting season dates in your state. Generally, most hunting takes place September through February, but some birds are hunted in the spring as well.
If you like to walk in the woods, with or without the children, or go hiking, be sure to check on local hunting season dates.
During hunting season it's important to be visible in the woods. There's no better way to be visible than by wearing bright orange - the color worn by almost all hunters.
It is important to be careful, but it is still safe to be in the woods if you think about where you're going and you prepare properly for your trip. The best form of preparation is in the clothing you wear and the places you choose to go.
It is best to avoid wearing white during hunting season. A flash of white may be mistaken for the white of a deer's tail. Items of blaze-orange clothing that are visible from all directions are best to wear. For instance, an orange cap or an orange jacket encircle the wearer in color. Inexpensive orange vinyl vests are easy to come by in outdoors shops or department stores. They are available for dogs too, who also need to be safe in the woods.
Hunters generally know where hiking trails are located, so it's not a bad idea to stick to established trails and limit off-trail trampings during hunting season.
Keeping in mind that there are many areas where the hiking is great and the hunting isn't, seek out areas where the habitat isn't attractive to game, but where views are well worth the trip. Consider hiking away from areas that are popular with hunters.
If you're wondering where those areas are, you might ask at your local sporting goods shop, or check with the state Fish & Game Department. Don't miss the fun of a fall or spring hike, when the air is crisp, there are few bugs, the crowds are scarce, and - with few leaves - the views are terrific. A little extra planning and preparation will help ensure a safe and enjoyable outing.

You observe and/or hear lightning and thunder, or a Severe Thunderstorm Warning is in effect. What should you do?
At Home
If you are at home, protect yourself and your family by following the safety tips below:
Away from Home
There are times when storms come up suddenly.
If you are away from home, protect yourself and your family by taking cover in the best shelter you can find. If you are in or near the water, go to land immediately and find shelter.

When a tornado warning has been issued, you may have very little time to prepare. How you respond now is critical.
In a Frame Home
In A Mobile Home
In A Car
Ideally, you should avoid driving when tornadoes or other kinds of dangerous weather threaten, as a vehicle is a very unsafe place to be. If, however, this is not possible, stay as calm as possible, and assess the situation.

How to Get a U.S. State License
Au Pair in America requires every au pair to have a valid home country driver's license in order to participate in the program. Au Pair in America also requests that every au pair obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP). If you are allowed to drive on your home country license in the state you are living in, you must carry both your home country license and your IDP at all times. As legal IDPs are only available in your home country, if you have arrived in the U.S. without an IDP and your home country license is in a language other than English, you must carry an official translation of your home country license with you. Your home country license, along with an IDP or English translation of your home country license, may be sufficient for you to drive legally in the U.S. when you first arrive. Please confirm this with your host family and/or the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). However, Au Pair in America strongly recommends that you obtain a local state driver's license as soon as possible. Requirements and testing procedures vary from state to state. To find the requirements for your state, follow the link to the DMV for your state. Start by clicking here.

TOKYO -- Japanese securities giant Nomura Holdings will set up a joint venture in a Shanghai free trade zone with a local finance group.
Nomura signed an agreement with Shanghai Lujiazui Development Group and its finance unit on Sunday to launch a new brokerage unit with an initial investment of 30 million yuan ($4.81 million). With Nomura funding 60% of the total, the venture will be a Nomura subsidiary.
Shanghai Lujiazui Development is a property developer and financial company that is 100% funded by the city of Shanghai. Nomura will become the first non-Chinese brokerage to enter the securities trading market under the Shanghai pilot deregulation program.
The plan is to sell financial products to affluent Chinese starting as early as this month. By gaining a foothold in mainland China, where capital markets are being deregulated and individuals' financial assets are expected to grow, the Japanese company seeks to further its expansion in Asia.

The Clinton Campaign today announced the endorsement of Florida Congresswoman Corrine Brown.
"Hillary Clinton has the best combination of strength, experience and intellect to be President and lead from her first day in the White House," Brown said. "As she's repeatedly done as Senator, she will bring people together to get results."
First elected to Congress in 1992, Brown has been an outspoken advocate for expanding the Veterans Affairs budget to provide better healthcare and benefits for soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. As Chair of the Transportation Subcommittee on Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials, Brown has worked to pass comprehensive rail safety legislation and strengthen America's Homeland Security.
Before her election to Congress, Brown served 10 years in the Florida House of Representatives.
"I admire Corrine's tireless work on behalf of our veterans to ensure they get the health care and benefits they need and deserve" Clinton said. "I am honored to have her support, and I look forward to working together as we bring our message of change across Florida."
-Obama is now 0-3 with the CBC in Florida. These Negroes were pivotal-as was the state-and he lost them all. Of course with the GOP moving up the primary into the prohibited "pre-window period" in January, it effectively took the entire state out of the Democratic Primary process because the DNC will not honor whatever happens there or seat delegates.

Can I use my Microsoft Office macros?
From Apache OpenOffice Wiki
Can I use my Microsoft Office macros?
The OpenOffice.org macros are written in OpenOffice.org BASIC, a macro language that uses the same programming logic as Microsoft Visual Basic. However, some elements differ, as for example the calls to software commands and object names. So you would have to rewrite the macros. Macros written for MS Word for instance cannot be executed via OpenOffice.org; you'll need to re-write them. This has its benefits - it makes OOo documents less virus prone.
OpenOffice.org 3 Calc can execute many Excel macros, but (for security reasons) you must manually enable this feature. Choose Tools > Options > Load/Save > VBA Properties and enable the Executable code checkbox.

King's College has left a significant mark in my upbringing as an individual.
The possibility to study alongside a myriad of nationalities and cultures has been instrumental in my personal, social and professional development.
I graduated sometime ago… I still remember the bus journeys to Soto. At that time, Tres Cantos (a new town) did not exist. The surroundings of King's were fields and countryside. I still remember running those "cross countrysides", being timed for the 100 meters. The nerves of those competitions, the football games during the lunch break. Am sure you also do?
We had no mobiles, there was no "google", no "browsers". Years later teachers like Jonathan Gray, Nigel White, left a positive mark. Friendships from school have been so important…and we are still in touch.
In terms of my life, after A-levels I studied a degree in economics in the beautiful town of Bath. Economics was a fascinating area and subject and thought I will end up working in a bank or trading floor. Since then I travelled the world and worked in multiple countries including Japan, Brazil, Italy, Belgium, Germany; there was always one word in my mind
"learn". What is life though but a continuous learning curve.
After numerous years of travelling and intense experiences working for the Spanish embassy in different countries decided to make London my home. This was twelve years ago, and now am working for a US company (based in the mormon state of Utah) in the commercial area of an innovative IT solution.
We help organizations with their processes, communication and collaboration through a cloud based user friendly solution. We have customers like Apple, Cisco, Burberry, Emerson, etc. Am dealing with a number of markets (DACH, Scandinavia, Iberia, ME),
Having studied at Kings it has helped me in building professional relationships too as am constantly working and dealing with different cultures and nationalities. It has certainly expanded my horizons and opportunities. Recently got married in Ronda to a beautiful Georgian lady and we live in the SW part of London, in lovely Putney famous as it is the place where the Oxford and Cambridge takes place.

Storage and preparation can both be pretty expensive. It would be a shame to throw away items that would save us money when you can turn your trash into treasures, but that's what we do every day. Many items that we throw out can be used to create tools and even appliances that we could use in our storage, while camping and in emergency situations.
Turn Your Trash Into Treasures.
Soda And Juice Bottles
Soda bottles are great for storing water in, but that isn't all they are good for. They can be cut into other tools as well. Just cut the top half off and turn it upside down and that soda bottle can become a funnel. You can also cut it into a scoop. The top can be used as the scoops handle. Use different sized bottles to get different sized funnels and scoops.
Twist Ties, Rubber Bands, And Grocery Bags
Sometime we need to seal opened items in our storage. We use bucket and old oatmeal canisters (another good item to keep off the throw away list). When you don't have those items available there are some temporary but quick fixes to sealing storage items. For items like an open flour or sugar bag, place a grocery bag over the top to of the open ingredient bag and slide a few rubber bands over the two, leaving plenty of space before the end of the grocery bag.
Items such as small open bags of rice or beans use twist ties to re-close them and them keep them in a tied grocery bag. This reduces the chance of creepy crawlies finding their way into your small open bags. Find ways to use these items before other items in your storage.
Candle Wax
That wax left over from candles can be used to water proof matches. You just melt the wax and dip the matches in. You could tie ten matches together and water proof them all at once, but I have found the water proofing is more complete when each match is dipped individually. Lay them out on wax paper to dry.
Candle jars are the best type of garbage to keep around. You can use them to sort nuts and bolts. You can use them as a resealable grease jar when saving drippings to make your own candles. They can be used for storing dry goods. All in all they hit the double use jackpot.
You can also reuse old food jars to can your next generation of food storage. You just need to clean and sterilize them. YouTube has a great video for this: How to Sterilize and re-use old glass jars for preserves and jam.
Junk mail, newspaper and old school papers can be shredded and pulped to create your own recycled paper. An easy YouTube video to follow for this: How to make recycling paper. I spread the pulp over a screen (like a window screen)instead of plastic wrap. I feel it gets the water out of the paper pulp faster. Then you let it dry in the sun and remove it from the screen. It may be thicker than store bought paper, but you have your own home made recycled paper. This paper can also be used to make all sorts of other items that you may need ranging from bags to baskets from following the directions of YouTube videos.
Always save boxes. Boxes simply used as they were meant to be used is enough reason to keep them, but they can be used for other things as well. Boxes can be used for storage containers. They can also be used to transport storage items.
Boxes can also be used as the main body of a box oven. The best video I have found for instruction in making a box oven is on YouTube: Gourmet Cooking in the Wild- Box Oven Chicken. This video not only shows how to construct the oven, but also shows how to cook a chicken in the oven.

Next Episode of Jenny Jones is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Jenny Jones was a chat show shown on syndication across the United States. The show was filmed in Chicago and covered a huge range of topics many of them schlocky. A huge scandal arose over a 1995 show in which one guest revealed that he had a gay crush on another. After the show was over and the two men had returned to their hometown the crushee shot and killed the man who had a crush on him. Despite this controversy, the show amazingly staggered on for eight more seasons before finally biting the dust in 2003.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
Please try again later or contact us.
