President Donald Trump posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on Wednesday to Staff Sgt. Travis Atkins, a 10th Mountain Division soldier who sacrificed his life to save his fellow troops from a suicide bomber on a dusty road in Iraq 12 years ago.
At a White House ceremony, Trump presented the nation's highest award for valor to Atkins' 22-year-old son, Trevor Oliver, who was 11 years old when his father died.
The soldiers that Atkins left behind described him as a tough big brother and a master of his craft that wouldn't ask anybody to do anything he wouldn't.
"Today, the name of Staff Sgt. Travis Atkins will be etched alongside the names of America's brave warriors and written forever into America's heart," the president said. "Your father's courage and sacrifice will live for all time."
Atkins originally received the Distinguished Service Cross for his bravery, but a recent Pentagon review upgraded his award to the Medal of Honor.

Atkins' unit operated in a "hotbed of terror" in a part of Iraq known as the "triangle of death," Trump said.
Atkins' unit was conducting route security on June 1, 2007, when he and three other soldiers stopped two Iraqis on a remote road near the town of Abu Sarnak, Iraq. Atkins and his men stopped two Iraqi men who were acting suspiciously.
A struggle broke out between Atkins and one of the men. Using hand-to-hand combat techniques, Atkins got the man down on the ground and deliberately positioned himself so his body would block the blast before the man detonated his suicide vest, according to the award citation and soldiers who witnessed the incident.
"The man began to reach for something and Travis knew what it was; he realized the man was wearing a suicide vest," Trump said. "Travis wrapped his arms and his entire body around him and threw him to the ground, away from his troops who were right next to him.
"He shielded his men from certain death. The terrorist detonated his suicide vest and Travis was instantly killed."
"In his final moments on earth, Travis did not run," Trump said at Wednesday's ceremony. "He didn't know what it was to run."
"He rose to the highest calling; he laid down his life to saves the lives of his fellow warriors," Trump added. "In so doing he embodied the deepest meaning to the motto of the 10th Mountain Division -- he climbed to glory."
Trevor spoke briefly at the ceremony at Trump's insistence.
"It's something that I can't really put into words; it's something that is surreal and I still haven't fully accepted it yet," Trevor said, his voice shaking with emotion.
This did not come as a surprise to his mother, Elaine Atkins, who attended the ceremony with Atkins' father, Jack, and other family members.
"When he was home on leave, he would talk about what he had to do to instruct them and get them ready," she told a group of reporters Tuesday. "He was always very concerned about that, making sure that they knew what they should do in order to survive, in order to function as good soldiers."
Former Sgt. Jared Venable said he was in was Army Basic Combat Training at the time the unit deployed and that he didn't join them in Iraq until late November, early December 2006.
"I was 18 years old, and frankly, I was just really scared," he told a group of reporters Tuesday.
Upon meeting Atkins, he said he immediately felt a sense of relief.
"He made me feel like there was a chance and that I could trust him -- that there was somebody there that knew what they were doing," Venable said. "There was no doubt in mind that he knew what he was doing and that he wouldn't have me doing anything that he wouldn't do himself."
Former Sgt. Sand Aijo, who served as the .50 caliber machine gunner on Atkins' Humvee, recalled that Atkins could be "very intense when he had to be ... he had very specific standards and they were nothing that he wouldn't have for himself."
"To be honest, when he first became my team leader and squad leader, I hated it; I was a 19-year-old kid -- cocky, you know. I thought I knew everything," said Aijo, who is certain that Atkins saved his life that day. "And he came in and he put me in my place, but he did it in the best way possible."
Aijo said he realizes that Atkins was preparing him to survive without him.
"When that day happened, I was prepared and reacted appropriately, and I don't know if I would have with anybody else leading me," he said. "No matter how tough he could be, he was like a tough big brother."
Before accepting his father's award, Trevor thanked this father's fellow soldiers for the kindness they showed him.
"Everything you have said to me over the last few days has meant the world to me and it changes my life," he said with a voice full of emotion.
"The medal is something that I take a lot of pride in, but it's the words that are the real prize and what really means the most to me."

Protests erupt in Bahrain after execution of Nimr al-Nimr
DUBAI - Police in the Sunni-ruled Gulf state of Bahrain clashed on Sunday with Shiite protesters a day after neighbouring Saudi Arabia executed a leading Shiite cleric, witnesses said.
They said violence erupted in several Shiite suburbs of the capital Manama, with police using tear gas and buckshot against protesters throwing petrol bombs.
Some injuries were reported.
On Saturday, police in Shiite-majority Bahrain again used tear gas against protesters demonstrating after the execution of Nimr al-Nimr, a driving force of protests in Saudi Arabia's east in 2011, who was among 47 people executed in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.
Sunday's unrest saw protesters carrying pictures of Nimr march through several suburbs of Manama, among them Jidhafs, Sitra, Duraz and Bilad al-Qadeem.
Witnesses said the violence was worst at Sidra west of the city, with some 400 demonstrators clashing with police.
The same sources said security forces used tear gas against protesters in Duraz who blocked a road and hurled stones at police.
Bahrain has backed Riyadh over Saturday's executions.
Authorities had said that they would take "all necessary legal measures" against any "negative" actions in response to the death sentences, which they would consider as "inciting sedition and threatening civil order".
They also warned of legal measures against anyone who used "social media networks to spread rumours that influence security".
Bahrain, home to the US Navy's Fifth Fleet, has been rocked by a Shiite-led uprising since February 2011, with demands ranging from a constitutional monarchy to overthrowing the ruling dynasty altogether.
Scores of opponents have been detained, with many facing trial, while others convicted of involvement in violence have been handed heavy sentences, including loss of citizenship and life in prison.

Have you ever dreamt about having a good hour of sleep after lunch instead of having to immediately get back to work? Now you can, you just have to move abroad!
Ador, a small town with a population of about 1400 located south of Valencia, set up a mandatory siesta through a municipal order issued by mayor Joan Faus. According to this decree, every office and shop have to remain closed from 2pm to 5pm.
The decree takes into account the fact that, due to the stifling heat, the early afternoon hours are unproductive. Thus, during these hours everyone can use a little rest. The decree also helps protect children and the elderly from high temperatures. A quick siesta allows them to recover energy and face the rest of the day in a better mood!
"There are no sanctions for those who break the ordinance. More than an obligation, it is a recommendation. This is an agricultural area, where people get up early to work in the fields. Those who wake up early need time to rest and recover energy. That is why we came up with this ordinance, "said the mayor of Ador.
Every afternoon, a local police officer oversees the application of the ordinance by patrolling the city streets. The officers invite everyone to respect the decree by staying in their homes and avoiding activities that make noises which might disturb the rest of the people.
According to studies conducted by an American University, however, the perfect siesta has to follow some rules:
- Never sleep for more than 30 minutes
- Sleep on a comfortable surface, such as a bed or couch, to avoid waking up with pain!
- Turn off the phone!
And that's how the siesta became a law!

Learn how to reduce energy costs with energy efficient building solutions.
Have you thought about energy saving with advanced automation for your commercial building? It doesn't matter what size commercial building you have; you can reduce energy costs and improve your building's infrastructure performance with an efficient cost-effective automation system. Advanced Control Corporation (ACC) can show you how to save money on utility costs, minimize waste, reduce wear and tear on mechanical systems, maximize efficiency and productivity, and conserve natural resources. We have energy saving tips that can teach you how to reduce energy consumption in business so that your profit isn't being wasted unnecessarily.
Our techniques for energy saving with advanced automation can be monitored and managed by authorized personnel in real time, or collected data. By integrating all your systemic networks, your managers can access every system in your building and have them working synergistically to maximize efficiency and productivity. A large part of energy efficient building solutions is utilizing a check and balance system of multiple operations that can show your managers how your infrastructure is operating and what existing problems may be causing unnecessary utility usage and waste. Your managers will be able to share data among systems and receive feedback that can help them discern what areas need tweaking.
A large portion of corporate expenditures is spent on lighting your building and outside property. Knowing how to reduce energy consumption in business starts with your lighting system. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that commercial buildings can save about 30 percent in energy consumption by installing an intelligent lighting system that is a part of their building management system.
You can realize energy saving with advanced automation that shuts down lighting in areas of your building that are unoccupied. An advanced lighting system uses sophisticated sensors, schedules, and occupancy controls to identify and shut down lighting in areas that are unoccupied. Scheduling can be set for days of the week, times of the day, holidays, weekends etc. and also covers outside areas including: exits, ramps, walkways, parking garages and lots, loading docks etc.
Your lighting system should also be integrated with your security system so that if there is a security breach, that area will be flooded with light. This can help scare off intruders, and deter theft and other criminal activity. Alarms can be set in place to alert the proper authorities and also building managers, so that they can help to secure building inhabitants by locking down areas, etc.
Energy efficient building solutions should also cover your building's HVAC system because a large portion of energy usage is also spent on lighting and heating your building. Energy saving with advanced automation uses thermal set-points to retain the proper temperature setting, and also manages humidity, odors, ventilation, toxic gases and harmful pollutants. Schedules can be set to shut down heating or air conditioning when areas are not in use. Your energy efficient building solutions also uses dashboards, metering, and sub-metering to gauge utility performance throughout your building, and effectively manage utility usage.
Commercial buildings in Florida also have the burden of high heat and humidity from the environment that places added stress on the HVAC system. By utilizing energy efficient building solutions in your infrastructure, you can reduce HVAC utility costs substantially, and also maintain a safe and comfortable interior environment.
We are a leading building automation company in Florida, known for our quality products and services. Our staff is properly trained and qualified to meet the high standard of excellence that we require of them. Together, we can show you how to reduce energy consumption in business with our energy efficient building solutions, and also assist with maintenance and tech support too.

For years, individuals who use wheelchairs have complained about not being able to get front row seats at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, when the front row and back row are the only two options for accessible seating. On December 1, 2016, the Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center ("CREEC"), Disability Law Colorado ("DLC") and CCDC joined forces and filed a lawsuit against the City and County of Denver ("City") seeking changes to its policies and practices regarding making front row accessible seating tickets at Red Rocks available to and accessible for those who need them instead of scalpers and others who bought the tickets and often resold them at exorbitant prices to individuals who did not need accessible seating.
CCDC, CREEC, and DLC wrote a letter to the City Attorneys' Office on August 26, 2016, requesting a process be established for ensuring front-row accessible seating is available to people who need it. Many individuals who use mobility devices had raised complaints that these accessible were never available to them. We received a letter in response on September 15, 2016.
On December 1, 2016, the coalition of disability rights organizations filed suit against the City alleging violations of the ADA in its seating and ticketing practices at Red Rocks. Front row accessible seating was being purchased by entities that were not individuals who needed accessible seating, and these entities were reselling the tickets to the general public, eliminating one option of accessible seating from the only two options available.
The parties reached an agreement to resolve their claims on a class action basis. On June 7, 2018, the Court granted final approval of the class action settlement. Relevant documents are posted below, including the transcript from that hearing, during which Judge Daniel took a moment to express some views about the ADA. It is worth reading.
The Consent Decree required monitoring of the 2018 and 2019 concert seasons.
Post-2019: The City and County of Denver committed to continuing the same accessible seating arrangements beyond the 2019 concert season, and the counsel for the plaintiffs have been in discussions with them regarding some possible exceptions.

LOS ANGELES (CBS) — When it comes to being a good Samaritan, most of us are just as likely to poke our neighbors on Facebook as we are to lend a helping hand — that is, when we're not shaking our fist at them.
A new study commissioned by State Farm finds that while 83 percent of Americans say they are willing to help a neighbor in need, a whopping 60 percent of us have complaints about our neighbors.
Topping the list of complaints: out-of-control pets or kids, noise, and poorly maintained property.
Still, there's evidence that the neighborly spirit often depicted in TV shows from the mid-to-late 1900's is still alive and well in the U.S.
As many as 45 percent of people surveyed indicated they would help a neighbor look for a job or cook meals for them, and 32 percent said they would offer to help out with babysitting to cut down on childcare costs.
But when it comes to digging into their own pockets, only 15 percent said they would lend a neighbor money, and a paltry 10 percent would let a neighbor temporarily live with them.
Sociologist Keith Hampton told KNX 1070 the findings are actually surprisingly optimistic.
"The historical data suggests that over the last 30 to 50 years, neighboring in America has declined, although the current study [is] suggesting that neighboring may be an important part of the everyday support people get," said Hampton.
The study also found that only 25 percent of us know our neighbors' names — and 8 percent don't know any of them at all.
Hampton sees the emergence of only social networking enhancing — and not replacing — the level of personal contact we share with those around us.
"While we often blame the younger generation for loss of local interaction, it turns out they're really leading the way in terms of interacting online with their local neighbors, possibly providing a new entryway into a lifestyle that historically never really happened until you were older and married with children," he said.
71 percent of those surveyed say they interact with their neighbors face to face on a monthly basis. But there were also double-digit responses for email, social networking and texting our neighbors as well.
what is to love ? I live in a senior adult community in VN CA – the church (?) a few feet in front of our building is rented out each weekend for LOUD paties, weddings – holy roller meetings etc, from sat 4pm till midnight – and Sundays as well – the noise is obnoxious – the owners do not care as they do not want to lose the rental of the church – the priest (???) does not care as he does not want to lose he $$$$ he is making for the rental of the hall,- the police colud not care less – And certainly the people attending are not about to let anyone put a damper on their party – so, unable to afford to miove – we just become victims – No love thy neighbor, no way !

Jane is probably female so why do you refer to her as a "he".
And idiot, I was being facetious (look it up). Yes I did read the article. Maybe you should join Jane and go bury your empty head in the sand.
nope, you were just being nasty.. but tell yourself whatever you need to get through the day! what you said wasn't amusing at all. it just looked ignorant. name-calling? grammar police? dumb comments about moving when poster said they can't afford it? not, that's not facetious. that's stupid.

Last nights Family Guy art show and DVD release party was a pretty sweet event indeed!! Highlights include the Theme Park sized Brian and Stewie walking around. As the artists arrived we were greeted at the door with an orange " NOT RED" carpet and a ton of press folk interviewing and taking lots of pics! There's me acting like Mr Bigshot and trying to think of somthing humorous to say. I drank it up because I figure this will be the first and LAST time I'm walking a premier carpet! There's a great shot of Alex Borstien " the voice of Lois" in a sexy pose! Although I think she may of had a rock in her shoe. The artwork was amazing and it was great to meet the artists. I've shown my painting enough on this blog so I posted a few of my fav's in the show. The one with Brian holding the champagne is by Spencer Laudiero and the Stewie with the fez is by Kathy Olivas. That's my wife Joy with Stewie and also next to the mammoth martini glass. Spencer Laudiero and his Fiance Rachael MacFarlane stand proudly in front of his painting. The smiley trio are myself, Annie Mcmillan, and the world famous Joe Vaux.

Today's card is a cute owl bought from Crafts You Print
The sheet number is 274487_1509 and its designed by Alison Sulley
The sheet was printed onto 128gsm matt photo paper and the few decoupage pieces were soon cut out - then fixed in place using double sided sticky pads.
For the card blank I chose a light purple marbled effect sheet of A4 card and folded to create my landscape A5 card blank.
I ran a gold metallic pro marker all the way around the oval topper which was then mounted in the centre of the card blank with medium sticky dots leaving plenty of free space all around the card.
As the topper had a faint inner oval I decided to play and in the end settled for black seed beads and black flat backed pearls which I attached in an alternate pattern with Pinflair glue.
The flowers that formed the background of the topper were pretty left as they were but I decided to add glamour to them so used a mix of tiny red gems and small white flat backed pearls.
Two of the flowers had buttons printed in the centre so I used small cream buttons which I threaded some white narrow ribbon through and tied off in a tight knot - these were attached to the card using Pinflare gel.
I decided to try my hand at stamping and heat embossing direct to the card - as I am fairly new to this technique I'm not too confident with it yet - I was aware that if I mess it up the whole card would be wasted - but I would never know if I didn't try would I?
So I rummaged and found a clear pretty corner stamp - Ornate Scroll work Stamps by Clear Choice Stamps - I used a versamark ink pad and stamped my first corner - I had rubbed my card over with an anti static bag before stamping - then I sprinkled my image with WOW sparkling snow embossing powder and heated it - believe me it really did have the WOW factor!!! Once all 4 corners were done I was so chuffed - it wasn't perfect - I had a few stray grains here and there and sadly didn't get all the corners even but hey ho I'm happy!!!
The last think I did was used my versamark embossing pen to highlight the eyebrows and sprinkled with UTEE and heat embossed - they look great!!
So all in all I had a play and really enjoyed myself - and as for the finished card - I love it! Not sure if I will send it to anyone as I am tempted to pin it to the wall in my craft room
I would love to know what you think of this card and the way I decorated it....
Till next time....

But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift. Therefore He says: "When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men."
Ephesians 4:7-8
The word grace means undeserved favor. When Ephesians 4:7-8 says that grace was given to us, it means that we have received an undeserved favor from God. Our merits are not enough to come out of the captivity of sin and attain salvation. So God offers us a gift through Christ. Gifts are received free of charge and do not depend on what we do but on the will of the one who has given it. Thus, the grace given to us comes from the will of God.
From where or from whom does the grace given us come? The answer to this question is in John 1:14-17, And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.'" And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Contrary to what religious traditions say, the only person that the Bible mentions that is full of grace is Jesus Christ, the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us, that same Word that was in the beginning with God and was God, of No one else can be said to be full of grace, only of Him. Therefore, we take the grace of Him who is full of grace, of Jesus Christ and the grace that has been given to us only comes from Him.
What does grace do for us? Acts 15:11 says, But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ[a] we shall be saved in the same manner as they. And to reaffirm that grace saves us, Ephesians 2:8-9 says, For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. The abundant grace of the Lord Jesus Christ is what gives us salvation. Our works are useless to achieve it.
Our salvation has a very broad meaning. Romans 3:24 says, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. The grace that comes from our Lord saves us through our justification. Being justified means being made righteous and being redeemed means that the Lord paid the price so that we would be acquitted in the judgment of God. For our sins, the verdict of judgment is one of guilt; but grace comes to us and Jesus Christ paid with his blood for our sins.
Receiving grace is a good reason to live grateful to those who have done us this undeserved favor. And if we have been saved by grace, it is not to keep grace treasured in us selfishly but to share it with others. Matthew 10:8 says, Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Let us share the good news of salvation and the filling of the Spirit with others.
To receive grace we must leave our past behind; but above all, leave our pride. James 4:6 says: But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Humbled before Him, let us take the grace. God bless you.

As part of his PhD at the University of Derby, our founder and CEO, Martin Stelfox, has been exploring different techniques to age drifting ghost nets found in the Maldives.
It is not currently known how long nets drift before being stranded or found. If an answer to this question can finally be found, we may be just one step closer to finding out where ghost gear entering the Maldives comes from.
To help answer this question, Martin set on a mission to recruit a team of "ghost busters", err, well, marine biologists, from around the Maldives: Lisa Bauer at Coco Palm Bodu Hithi, Deborah Burn at Gili Lankafushi, Jenni Choma and Oscar Ignetik from Six Senses – Laamu, Tina Buchegger from Lux South Ari, and Sonia Valladares from Coco Bodu Hithi.
Collectively, they are conducting pilot projects that include: measuring barnacles, measuring changes in mesh-breaking strength at different exposures to sun and UV radiation, and mapping the change in fouling (algae and sponge) communities over time.
Tested and developed further, one of these methods could be a reliable technique to help estimate the age of ghost nets. These estimates can then be plugged into an ocean current modelling program to give us a better understanding of drifting paths, turtle interaction, and possibly an origin of gear loss.

Well, I'm sure you will all be relieved when I tell you that they told me today that there is no need to plan a head amputation! I met with the Dr. this morning and she set up a consultation with a neurosurgeon (Dr. Larson - same as for Dad's back) so he can discuss what - if anything - should be done about the pain in the neck I've had for the last year... At least I know my hair do is still safe! All I know is there is 'no nerve impingement' and all they found was some 'narrowing' in a couple of the discs and some 'degeneration'. Shoot - wish I hadn't fallen on my head that day in gymnastics class in High School...
Oh, well, as long as the hair is good, I'm ok!

Finally, after almost a month, I've got something to say!
Here is the REAL Diego! He goes to Hayden 2nd Ward, and he's a really cute 3 year old boy. His mother and father own a really wonderful Gourmet Latin Lunch place down by NIC. His dad was just baptized last year and we got to go through the temple with him last Saturday night! Cool stuff! Oh, his dad's name is Carlos, and his mom is Columba. He's my spanish teacher! (Diego's dad, not Diego...)
And, here I am modeling my new spring 'do' that Lindsay gave me last week! It's just TOO CUTE (as Mona would say). My other big news is that today I did something I've never done before! I listened to Jack Johnson (or tried to...) while I got my first ever MRI. It wasn't so bad if you keep your eyes shut. But it was LOUD. Anyway, I'll find out tomorrow morning why I've had such a 'pain in the neck' for so long! I actually put that on the form I had to sign! Ha! I have a 'pain in the neck'! Well, I'm off to be cool and play my marimba with my cool buddies!

Texas Wildflowers
The beautiful Bluebonnet - State flower of Texas. Aren't they bright and pretty? It was cool to be there during the blooming time... And this is an Indian Fire Wheel (also known as and Indian paint blanket). They bloom everywhere!
Here is the pink version of buttercups - I think some people call them wine cups...
And I don't know the name of this flower, but it was blooming everywhere! So cute!
Alas, the Indian Paint Brushes just started blooming at the end of my trip, so the only time I saw any was out the window on the freeway on my way to the airport. Sorry, no paintbrush pictures this year. I'll just have to try again next year! That's a great idea!
The truth is, we've already scheduled another visit with Monica, Farid, Teresa and John for Lake Taho in September. Farid wanted to know if any of my kids could come. Well, probably not, but maybe Lindsay could find a way....? Anyway, he sure loves the family! What a great time we all had together. Wish you could have been there. Nobody got tired of being together!

A Beautiful day for a birthday party!
Charles and Urlene and Whitney made it to town for the weekend, so we decided to have a birthday party for Urlene since she maintains that she never got to have one growing up because it was too inconveniently timed - April 15th - TAX DAY... She got a beautiful, 4-layer vanilla cake with cute flowers all over it. Sami and Caki thought it was a great 'dry run' for their birthdays on the 28th of this month!
We discovered another visitor to the party... a bright green lizard! He was showing off his 'fan' under his neck for a while, but, of course, not for the camera! At least he stayed put long enough for us to get a decent picture!
Here's another picture of the gang on Sunday afternoon. Whitney, me, John, Teresa, Urlene and Monica darling... sitting in the shade out of the HOT SUN!!!

Saturday Afternoon at the Baseball Festival
Uncle Steve said he couldn't find Caki. I think he wasn't looking too hard! She was right behind him! Her favorite thing to say after that was "Do it again!"
Here is a picture of Uncle Charles enjoying himself on a bright, sunny Saturday at the ball park!
Aunt Teresa gives the 'thumbs up' after hearing her number called at the cake walk. She knew she'd win... she has a history of winning at cake walks. She once won twice in one day at the grocery store! OK, it's official! Cake walk luck runs in the family! Whitney got cookies, and Sami got chocolate cupcakes at the cake walk.
Here is Sami enjoying his winnings - EVERY LAST MORSEL! What a good day!

Crepe bash!
Dad was so excited when Helene (pronounced el-EEN) made real French crepes for us on Thursday. She left early Friday morning for France, and we miss her! How do you like the way she can flip a crepe?

Mexican Shopping Trip to Nieman's!
The trademark symbol of Nieman Marcus is the butterfly. When we went in the store, Monica was actually buying stuff (a purse to be exact) so Teresa, John and I decided to just browse around. Going up the escalators was wonderful! The whole atrium area was filled with butterflies made of feathers! Aren't they beautiful? This one is made of feathers and glitter.
This one is painted with silver paint.
This is what they look like if you look up above your head as you ride up or down the escalator!
And here we are outside the store just to prove that we were really here!

At first he though it was all part of some crazy nightmare. But it wasn't. Russell Graheme, M.P. was one of a handful of passengers flying from Stockholm to London. One moment flying peacefully in the sky, the next lying in an un-Earthly green coffin. Grahame was the first to emerge from this strange resting place. But for him, as well as for the others, it had been only the ecliptical experience. Soon all were to find themselves lost in a bizarre world of Mediaeval knights, Stone Age warriors and gremlins, caught unalterably I the weirdest cocoon of Time.

Every cosmetic procedure is significant and ought to be taken seriously. Before deciding to proceed, you need to thoroughly understand the procedure and the doctor who will be performing it. Read on to learn how to prepare yourself for a successful surgical experience.
Anyone contemplating a cosmetic procedure needs to equip themselves with a strong understanding of recovery times and processes. When you know how long you need for recuperation, you are better able to schedule your life and responsibilities around your surgery.
When consulting with a doctor about your surgery, ask for credentials specific to the surgery you want done. Find out which university he attended, what year he finished, and how many surgeries he has performed. Do not be afraid to request photographs of previous procedures.
Talk to the doctor thoroughly about any work you want done, and ask how many of the procedures they have performed. Look at before and after photographs to gain a better understanding of what to expect. There are never guarantees when it comes to plastic surgery, but you can improve your odds by weeding out bad surgeons.
The use of anesthesia is an important part of your surgery and has risks associated with it. One of these risks is arrhythmic heart beats. Anesthesia can make your heart beat in strange ways. That happens during surgery sometimes, as blood flow can become insufficient after anethesia. This can be the cause of arrhythmia, which is also called irregular heart beat.
Ask the doctor about any possible risks associated with the surgery. Also ask him what he does to help reduce the risks. Research the risks before you go, and compare what you have learned to what the surgeon says.
You need to be realistic about the chances of scarring and possible pain resulting from the cosmetic surgery. A lot of people do not know how painful it will be. If you are mentally aware of these facts, then you will be in a better state to heal.
It's important to think about what you're doing before you get plastic surgery. Getting plastic surgery done is often irreversible; don't do anything you'll regret later. Be certain to take your time and make a wise decision instead of making a rash choice. Using these suggestions will help you plan for a successful surgical experience.

text: Posted on 23/04/201821/04/2018 by Centre for Nigeria ProgressMay's immigration policy seen as 'almost reminiscent of Nazi Germany' by Ben Quinn Comments from ex-civil service chief Sir Bob Kerslake increase pressure on PM as row over Windrush-era citizens continues Comments from ex-civil service chief Sir Bob Kerslake increase pressure on PM as row over Windrush-era citizens continues The hostile immigration environment Theresa May set out to create when she was at the Home Office was regarded by some ministers as "almost reminiscent of Nazi Germany" in the way it is working, the former head of the civil service, Lord Kerslake, has said. What is the Windrush deportation crisis? Who are the Windrush generation? They are people who arrived in the UK after the second world war from Caribbean countries at the invitation of the British government. The first group arrived on the ship MV Empire Windrush in June 1948. What is happening to them? An estimated 50,000 people face the risk of deportation if they never formalised their residency status and do not have the required documentation to prove it. Why is this happening now? It stems from a policy, set out by Theresa May when she was home secretary, to make the UK 'a really hostile environment for illegal immigrants'. It requires employers, NHS staff, private landlords and other bodies to demand evidence of people's citizenship or immigration status. Why do they not have the correct paperwork and status? Some children, often travelling on their parents' passports, were never formally naturalised and many moved to the UK before the countries in which they were born became independent, so they assumed they were British. In some cases, they did not apply for passports. The Home Office did not keep a record of people entering the country and granted leave to remain, which was conferred on anyone living continuously in the country since before 1 January 1973. What is the government doing to resolve the problem? On Monday, the home secretary Amber Rudd announced the creation of a new Home Office team dedicated to ensuring that Commonwealth-born long-term UK residents would no longer find themselves classified as being in the UK illegally. Photograph: Douglas Miller/Hulton Archive Kerslake, who was speaking on BBC Newsnight, was the senior official at the Department for Communities and Local Government until 2014, a job that put him at the heart of Whitehall. He was commenting on the decision to scrap thousands of landing cards that was taken in 2010, which he insisted would have been referred to ministers. But the environment secretary, Michael Gove, who was education secretary for some of the time and would have been involved in aspects of the policy, dismissed the claim. "I've never heard anyone make that comparison before Lord Kerslake. It's not for me to criticise a distinguished former public servant like Lord Kerslake but I respectfully disagree." He added that after the Brexit vote, people felt able to be compassionate because countries that could control their borders were able to be more generous. "I think we can see in the national conversation that we have had about the Windrush generation that people are so glad that this country has had a tradition of welcoming people from abroad." Gove's remarks came as the prime minister prepared to address the opening session of the Commonwealth heads of government meeting (Chogm) on Thursday afternoon. At the gathering, the Queen will meet the heads of government of the Caribbean countries, some of whose former citizens' lives have been blighted by the chaos over immigration documentation. Kerslake came to Whitehall from a highly successful career in local government, and rose rapidly to the top. But he later fell out with the Cameron administration. For two years from 2012, he was joint head of the civil service, sharing the running of Whitehall with Sir Jeremy Heywood, the cabinet secretary, before departing abruptly after two years. The job was then reunited under Heywood, in what was widely regarded as a political move. Permanent secretaries like Kerslake meet every week to discuss and coordinate government business, and he would have been very familiar with problems in other departments. Former Liberal Democrat ministers in the coalition and some special advisers have been speaking out about their fight to try to soften the policy. Sarah Teather, who was minister for children and families, revealed in 2013 that an internal working group on immigration was initially named the "hostile environment working group, with its name only changed following Lib Dem objections. Teather, who is now the director of the Jesuit Refugee Service, said: "Theresa May was determined to transform things. She was proud of wanting to generate a really hostile environment. "The Home Office has a culture of enforcement and disbelief which runs deep into the walls, but it is politically led. It's a culture from the top, and it has been a bit rich for the home secretary, Amber Rudd, to blame civil servants. When you've had a Conservative home secretary that long, you cannot moan when civil servants deliver those policies." A Lib Dem special adviser at the time, Polly Mackenzie, tweeted on Tuesday night that the "hostile environment" mission started with an inter-ministerial group set up on "migrant access to benefits and public services". Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, warned that the impact of the way people who had settled in the UK years ago could have their rights challenged could jeopardise negotiations over future rights of EU citizens. He said the concern "is that if your approach to immigration is to create a hostile environment … that might flow into any post-Brexit relations with the EU and that would be a really bad way forward and it is time for the prime minister to be clear about that," he said on BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Gove went out of his way to stress Britain's open approach to migration and to praise Amber Rudd's handling of the affair. He said her apology had been "graceful" and "a model", and insisted she had "taken a grip". Mackenzie claims that May's mission was to make it systematically difficult to get by without papers, even though the Home Office had no firm evidence of the scale of the alleged abuse. Work checks, school registration, hospital and GP appointments, bank accounts and credit were all among the everyday activities where proof of status could be required. "I saw endless papers claiming the system was 'unsustainable in the current economic climate' but no evidence to back it up," she tweeted. A former head of the UK border force said on Thursday that something had gone "badly wrong" at the Home Office with the loss of experience and knowledge of immigration as a result of departmental reorganisations. "Corporate memory and expertise has been lost with the abolition of the immigration service and subsequently the abolition of the UK Border Agency now as well," said Tony Smith, a veteran official in immigration enforcement who was the interim director general of the UK Border Force between 2012 and 2013. "A lot of people were let go who had that experience and we have tried to codify all that experience on the basis of documents that people may or may not have, and we don't have an identity management system." This loss, Smith told the Today programme, was at the heart of problems with the hostile environment strategy. "In summary, you need an identity management strategy if you are going to have a hostile environment. You can't have one without the other," he said. He said: "We did not back the hostile environment with an identify management strategy. We thought about identity cards, didn't we? We did start issuing biometric residence permits to newcomers in 2008 but we didn't offer those to people who were already here, like a green card system in the US." Smith mourned changes to the traditional culture among officials working in immigration, who followed a career path that allowed them to accumulate expertise at home and abroad in various roles. "I was called out regularly to police stations to talk to people who had been arrested for something or other and the police couldn't tell whether they were allowed to be here or not. We were allowed to take pragmatic decisions based on what they told us – whether or not an enforcement decision could be taken." Smith described the controversy over the destruction of landing cards recording the dates of arrival in Britain of members of the so-called Windrush generation as a red herring, saying that there would have been other ways to carry out necessary checks. He added: "All this blame culture about whether or not these landing cards would have made a difference is a complete red herring to me. It's about being able to talk to people sensibly with a degree of knowledge or expertise and come to a sensible conclusion."

In B2B marketing and advertising, goals are all about identifying the right audience, the right time to engage them, and the right approach to the engagement.
Identifying the right audience is a staggering task unto itself, but intent analysis has evolved and, when executed intelligently, is now a reliable approach to capturing and synthesizing the purchase intent signals emitted by prospective accounts while researching solutions to their organizational pain points.
It's the targeting and identifying of specific, key decision makers within those flagged accounts that proves as difficult as it is necessary to close on them. With the right data sources, job titles can be mapped from within data sets, but a verified job title does not guarantee a win.
Job titles at B2B organizations are becoming more disparate and meaningless (rather, open to interpretation) every day. For example, the IT Director at a small shop means something very different than an IT Director at an enterprise, just as a Product Manager at a small shop may have different responsibilities and levels of input in business decision making than a Product Manager of an enterprise's global division.
Unless your target accounts share one work computer, targeting advertisements at the wrong audience within a target account you've been trying to convert might be as wasteful as it is demoralizing and pointless.
Segments of Which Audiences?
In a blog post on Demandbase.com, Matt Aaronson explores targeting the right prospects within target accounts in B2B advertising.
In account-based advertising, he says, "if you're not reaching the key decision makers within your target accounts, your ad dollars might as well be flying out a window."
Typical segmentation of identity-based audiences captures information about job title, job function, department, seniority, and company, but given the disparate nature of job titles, how actionable are the insights contained within any given set of this information?
To avoid hinging your account-based advertising success on data that might not be the accurate identity-based B2B audiences a data provider promises, Aaronson says, ask any potential intent data providers if their segments are deterministic, modeled, or mixed; where their deterministic data sets come from; and what their methodology for modeled data is.
If you can determine the provider has qualified data, and you've developed an intelligent strategy for using that data, you can trust that your investment won't be for naught.
Each of these questions will help you to vet any providers you may be considering. The provider's answers are crucial to the efficacy and level of "actionability" in their insights.
For example, deterministic segments use identity data provided by users in registration forms, and modeled / probabilistic segments predict job titles based on anonymized user data and characteristics. Don't run free with the assumption that deterministic data is always sourced from a co-operative network of B2B publishers, however; prospective providers should always tell you what their data sources are.
According to Aaronson, deterministic segments are more reliable than modeled — but they're so huge that data providers will usually supplement them with modeled data to expand the audience. Again, it is key to ask a prospective provider where their modeled data is sourced from. Additionally, the provider should be willing to explain which signals are used to map cookies to job titles.
Intent Targeted Ads
Job titles alone are not adequate to verify an audience's identity, and they are not enough of a green light to score a lead based on a verified job title. Context is required for the data to be actionable and drive value.
As Aaronson says, failing to reach the relevant decision-making audience with a targeted ad (or any marketing efforts that use budget) is akin to pouring your advertising allocation out a window.
Aberdeen offers Intent Targeted Ads programs designed to deliver an optimized return on your digital advertising investment, rather than losing your marketing / ad spend.
Because Aberdeen's massive intent data sets are qualified, verified, and up to 91% accurate in tests, any engagement in an Intent Targeted Ads program is with a qualified prospect at the moment they are conducting active research. This increased relevancy leads to increases in click-through and view-through rates of 200% and more.
Using verified, qualified data for account based advertising is an option that Marketing and Sales functions don't have to choose for their operations, but knowing the alternative should make this choice an easy one.
Do you know which specific companies are currently in-market to buy your product? Wouldn't it be easier to sell to them if you already knew who they were, what they thought of you, and what they thought of your competitors? Good news – It is now possible to know this, with up to 91% accuracy. Check out Aberdeen's comprehensive report Demystifying B2B Purchase Intent Data to learn more.

We passed a news stand in Plovdiv and the lady running it had three! magazines out with needle crafts. Needless to say, I bought all three. Two are cross stitch magazines and the other is crochet. Everything's in Bulgarian, of course, but the cross stitch magazines have Anchor, DMC and Adria ( a brand from Poland) colors. One of the magazines even has color charts! I'll have to stitch some of these things.

Small Business Consulting Overcoming Cli
Small Business Consulting: Overcoming Client Denial
Word Count:
Small business consulting clients may think your proposed solution is "overkill." However, be sure your clients know the security risks you've encountered in small business consulting.
small business consulting, small-business-consulting
Article Body:
When working in small business consulting, your clients may ask, "Why do I need something as big and powerful as the network you're recommending? We're just a seven person company and our network works great, at least most of the time."
"Sell" Fear
In this situation, to overcome denial, you often have to "sell" fear. Be ready to talk about a small business consulting client that trusted their PC-savvy bookkeeper so much, that the bookkeeper was covering her trails daily and able to embezzle $50K before getting caught during an annual audit by their CPA.
Only naďve clients believe in trusting every employee and for that matter every non-employee who has physical access to the building.
Get Clients Thinking about Security
In reality though, small business owners rarely think about IT security until it's too late. Make sure you get your small business consulting prospects and clients thinking about how much access should be granted.
Get your prospects and clients thinking about sensitive files such as credit card numbers, social security numbers (in the U.S.), trade secrets, payroll data or annual employee reviews.
Determine Client Needs
When small business clients say they think your proposed client/server network is overkill, they might not be thinking of the big picture. That's all the more reason to take the small business consulting client through a comprehensive initial consultation, needs analysis, IT audit and site survey.
Many times a small business owner might ask just for file sharing or e-mail. If you press further, however, you'll discover they also really need a contact management system, group scheduling, network faxing, a company Intranet and secure, high-speed Web browsing from each desktop.
The Bottom Line about Small Business Consulting
If small business consulting clients insist they have no need for data security, you probably haven't probed deeply enough. Find out where the client stores its client lists, proprietary pricing models, payroll forecasts, bonus calculations, credit card data and social security numbers.
