DUI, or Driving Under the Influence, can cost you money, your driving privileges, even your freedom. If you are caught driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or more, you can be charged with a DUI, and it will go on your driving record.
Just one DUI conviction can cost around $5,000 in court costs and other fees. Once you get one, the conviction can stay on your driving record for a very long time, affecting whether or not you can get auto insurance, and hiking the price way up if you do find a policy. A DUI on your driving record could also affect your ability to get a job if you work in a field that requires you to drive.
Everyone thinks that a DUI conviction will be erased off of your record after a certain number of years, but this is not the case. Unless you take the action to have your DUI, or multiple DUI's expunged from your driving record, your DUI's could stay on there indefinitely.
There is a certain amount of time that a DUI is supposed to stay on your record before you can pay the fee to have it expunged. The amount of time varies by state. In most states, a DUI conviction will only stay on your record for 7-10 years. In Florida, a first conviction is on your record for 75 years!! Getting your DUI expunged from your record also generally depends on whether or not you rack up any more driving violations in the meantime. This means if you have multiple DUI's, you may never be able to get your driving record back to normal.
However, the first step to getting your driving record back to normal if you have multiple DUI's is to check out the DUI laws for your state. Keep in mind that your criminal record and your DUI record are not the same. In some cases, the judge may decide to downgrade your charges on your criminal record to, say, reckless driving, but you will still have a DUI on your driving record. And, if you don't get your DUI expunged off your driving record, it will still show up on your criminal records. Even if you don't work in a field where you will need to produce your driving record, most employers will run a criminal background check before they hire you.
The second step in getting your driving record back to normal if you have multiple DUI's is to consult an attorney. They can help you with getting your driving record back to normal. A DUI attorney may be able to file motions to get your DUI convictions bumped down to reckless driving, if you complete certain classes or community service projects. Usually, getting a DUI expunged is complex. It is difficult to navigate on your own, especially if you have multiple DUI's. An experienced attorney will know what to do to get your driving record back to normal.

|First paragraph: What is the appropriate goal of economic and social policy? In a country where people are starving, economic growth is universally viewed as the key objective. Food comes first and philosophising second. As economies get richer, however, they can afford to question the need for further riches. The work stemming from Easterlin's (1974) ideas suggests that they need to do so. Greater wealth does not seem to buy extra happiness. Indeed Blanchflower and Oswald (2004), for example, conclude that Americans' reported happiness has fallen since the early 1970s.

Police ID man accused of fatally shooting girlfriend at San Antonio apartments
Police have identified the man they say fatally shot a woman he was dating at an East Side apartment complex Thursday.
Cameron Roby, 34, was arrested on suspicion of murder. Police have not released the identity of the victim.
Roby was distraught as he was escorted to a police cruiser to be taken to the Bexar County Jail.
"I loved my woman and she loved me," he repeatedly said through tears.
Authorities said Roby and the woman, who were in a relationship, had been in some sort of altercation inside an apartment in the 4800 block of Goldfield Drive around 9:30 a.m.
"At some point, something turns violent, a gun is produced and now we have a deceased person," said Carlos Ortiz, a San Antonio Police Department spokesman.
Police said the victim's infant was in the apartment at the time of the shooting.
Around the same time, a Bexar County sheriff's deputy and a Bexar County constable were at the apartment serving eviction notices to residents.
RELATED: Couple dead in stabbing in Southeast Bexar County, officials say
Roby approached them and told them he had just accidentally shot his girlfriend, police said.
"It happened that fast," Ortiz said. "The shooting happens, and maybe he's attempting to flee the apartment or leave, and at that point Bexar County [officials] are walking in front of the apartment. He walks right up to them and admits."
The deputy and constable promptly arrested Roby.
The couple did not have a history of domestic violence, though Roby is a convicted felon.
Ortiz said neither the deputy nor the constable heard the gunshot or any shouting prior to the suspect admitting to the shooting.

Hi! I just download a mini project that has been made on using Creo Parametric 1.0 but I have the version Creo Elements/Pro 5.0 installed on my laptop. Whenever I try to open any file of the project then there's no preview available and there is just a blank sheet of Creo in front of me. I've checked each and every file but same problem.
I can see the preview of the part when I change the size of the icon in my window but can't see the part in Creo elements/Pro 5.0 window. Please help me out.
Creo data is not downward compatible. Data created in lower version can open in higher versions however not possible from higher to lower version.
If you only want to view it and don't care about modifying, it you can use Creo View to open and view it.
Did you get a chance to work suggestion from Chris in last reply?

Oregon City Coffee Shop
Early morning in my hometown. This building was boarded up in my youth, but has since been put to distinguished use as a great coffee shop. Across the street, Oregon City's theater once stood. I can't believe I've forgotten its name.
Also across the street, the Oregon City Library stands, a Carnegie gem, lovingly restored and expanded a few years ago, a project financed by the voters when the government asked them to finance it. Who votes no on libraries?
I spent long, long, hours in this library, reading books and magazines and checking out records. I think I still owe a fine for a lost Stevie Wonder album. I always went to the library alone, on foot or bicycle. My mother never once dropped me off or picked me up.
Oregon City sure has changed a lot in recent years. The downtown finally resurrected itself. I like the changes. The Grand Ronde Tribe wants to buy the old mill site on Oregon City's side of the Willamette River. I hope they get it. It was theirs once. But please film a war movie there and blow up some of the machinery. But, please leave a few traces standing to remind people that OC was once a three whistle mill union town and supported a vibrant middle class.
I've got about 20,000 words on a memoir about growing up in OC in the 70s and 80s, tentatively titled Pioneer Pride. I hope to release it in 2020 if the zeitgeist is right, perhaps release it only in Oregon City, in bars, libraries and street libraries, thrift stores, the Elevator, one old news rack. Who knows? That's the way I publish these days. I hope my old Oregon City friends will support it. It's not going anywhere without them.
I stash a few of my books in the lending library here. They always manage to disappear by the time I return.
Someone very special to me still lives in Oregon City. I so wish we could reunite, preferably in Howell's or Coney Island or the Fall's View. OC still has three great Oregon Tavern Age joints left!
LA Woman plays. The Doors just don't seem to garner the attention from current media and listeners other bands from that classic era do. Today, I find myself much more interested in their music.
Yard work for my Old Man later this morning. Also, a possible meeting with important people about the most far out cultural event in Oregon history—Vortex I. Naturally it has a far out Oregon City connection and his name was Dr. Cameron Bangs. He used to practice medicine not too far away from where I am writing this.

"Composing Stories with Fragments of Time" compiled artworks from eight different artists in response to an anonymous, handwritten letter from a Hong Kong emigrant in Australia. The communiqué is addressed to the writer's children, Michael and Margaret, and was written prior to Hong Kong's handover in 1997. The father describes his new life, narrating personal reflections and a story of transition not uncommon to an era when a mass exodus of Hong Kong residents left in fear of Hong Kong's impending return to Chinese rule.
If the letter depicts life after 40 years of the writer's marriage, then Annie Wan's artwork could be imagined as a prequel, when the couple first fell in love. In (Lost) Art of Writing Letters / Hand-copy of Excerpts From Zhi Tingguangshu by Tang Junyi (2017), Wan handcopied three love notes by Tang Junyi, a Chinese philosopher. In one of the messages addressed to his girlfriend who then became his wife, Tang expresses his conundrum of not wanting to trouble her with his misery, yet not having anyone better to share his burdens with. The three documents were copied onto ceramic instead of paper. One of these pieces of ceramic was mailed to the gallery, as one would do with a real letter—the piece did not survive the journey, and as a result, the third part of the artwork is fragmented. The fragility of the ceramic medium is perhaps fitting as a prequel to the emigrant's account, as the anonymous writer admits his neglect of his wife's feelings in the early years of their marriage. The work suggests that relationships, like the ceramic medium, are delicate and fragile, and could break if not dealt with care, which added a tender overture to the exhibition.
Inspired by the emigrant's honest reflections on his relationships, Carmen Ng's Missing Words (2017) comprises four letters, each meant for one of her own family members—all four are devoid of content, and are only distinguishable due to their format. Placed above one of the letters was a set of metal type used in movable type printing, in reference to the artist's father who worked with the now near-extinct technology before he retired. The work was reminiscent of letter templates found in teaching materials of Chinese classes, and created a sense of nostalgia.
Instead of addressing the letter itself, Luke Ching focused on the stamp. By binding a collection of vintage stamps together like a book, Ching created sets of flipbook animations, which are accompanied by video. Rainy Day (2017) features a stamp with the iconic Hong Kong landmark, the Peak Tower. The artist added his intervention by flicking blue and white acrylic paint onto the surfaces. As the book is flipped through, there is the illusion of a dreadful downpour that grows stronger, at last covering the whole landscape. The dreariness is also seen in Victoria Harbor (2017), in which four flipbooks were created with used stamps from before the handover. The postmarks branded on the stamps resemble waves, and as the book is animated, it appears as if Hong Kong is once again drowning. In another part of the work, Queen Elizabeth II's head appears to be bobbling on the surface of a sea. The works can be seen as reflections of the anxiety that has loomed over Hong Kong since before the 1997 handover and which continues to pervade the city today. Through his appropriation, the artist assigns new values to the stamps, inserting a less optimistic narrative to their official, commemorative purposes.
Exhibited during the 20th anniversary of the handover, the artworks in the show were not only a reply to the emigrant's reflections addressed to his children, but were also the local artists' contemplation of the past two decades of their lives. Although "Composing Stories with Fragments of Time" was closely tied to Hong Kong's local history, and embodied, in part, feelings of unease, the exhibition also conveyed universal notions of love and intimacy—perhaps just the reminder needed in such a polarized society as Hong Kong.
"Composing Stories with Fragments of Time" is on view at Karin Weber Gallery, Hong Kong, until August 12, 2017.

Election Day is one of the most important days in the life of this country. Election Day is at the basis of democracy. The word Democracy literally means "the people rule." Election Day is a good day to remind our elected officials and remind ourselves who really are in charge in this country – the people; the voters.
So why do I vote? I vote because I want to have my say. I vote because it makes me equal to every other person in this country. Even the highest-ranking political figure in the nation – no matter who that is or was – did not have any more voting power than I have.
Why do I vote? Because generations ago, my grandparents who were born in this country and were citizens were turned away from the polls because they were not allowed to vote because of their race. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 changed that. But by that time, my grandparents were dead, never ever having been able to exercise their Constitutional rights at the ballot box. Every time I vote – and I do not miss elections – I think of my grandparents.
In 1776, when the United States was founded, the only people who had the right to vote were white men who owned property. But through a series of Constructional Amendments and changes in the laws over the last two centuries, the vote has been expanded. People of all races, women, and those who do not own property have the vote.
Something else. When you vote, even if your candidate or your side loses in the election, you send a message to the other side. How many voted in a losing cause can send a powerful message to the other side.
A lot of people died in this country trying to get the right to vote. When you do not vote, it is disrespecting those who championed the cause. Get out and vote. Have a say in where the country, or the county, or the city, or the village is headed. By not voting, you are saying you don't care and you allow someone else to make the decision for you.

Crime & Legal
Australian Antonio Bagnato Sentenced to Death in Pattaya, Thailand for Killing Hell's Angel Wayne Schneider
CHON BURI – Pattaya Provincial Court Judge Sirichai Polkarn Tuesday sentenced Australian Antonio Bagnato, 28, to death for his role in the murder of a former Hells Angels member Wayne Schneider.
Australian Antonio Bagnato and U.S. national Tyler Gerard, 22, were arrested after police found the battered body of Wayne Schneider in a shallow grave in the beach resort city two years ago.
Bagnato and 22-year-old American Tyler Gerard were arrested days after Schneider's naked body was found in a shallow, sandy grave in Chonburi, about 30 kilometres from his luxury villa in Pattaya.
In a 40-minute reading of the decision, the judge said evidence provided by security guards at the villa as well as DNA evidence linked both Bagnato and Gerard to the assault on Schneider.
The judge said Bagnato was tied to bloodstains on a white cloth, various plastic items and weapons which had been prepared before the attack including knives and knuckle dusters.
He said the guards had provided supporting testimony and that their evidence had "appeared to be truthful about attempting to help Schneider".
Gerard's sentence was reduced from an original three years because he had cooperated with the investigation, his lawyer told Reuters
Bagnato's lawyer declined to comment on the death sentence verdict.
"We've got hearts and they're hurting right now," said a brother of Bagnato's who did not wish to be further identified, outside the hearing.
Other family members expressed bitterness at the sentence, calling it "ridiculous" but declined to make a statement to AAP.
Late last year Australian, Luke Hunt, was convicted by the Pattaya Court of aiding and abetting by driving Bagnato and his family to the Cambodian border.
Thai police say conflicts over a multi-million dollar drug network extending from Europe to Asia had allegedly led to the killing.
It was uncertain whether Bagnato's lawyers would lodge an appeal. However, Thailand rarely carries out the death penalty.

After his studies at the Central Special Music School, Mikhail Pletnev entered the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory in 1974, where he studied with Jakob Flier and Lev Vlasenko. Aged only 21, Pletnev was the Gold Medal and First Prize winner of the 1978 Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition. He has since appeared as soloist with the major orchestras under conductors such as Bernard Haitink, Riccardo Chailly,Valery Gergiev, Zubin Mehta, Kent Nagano and Kurt Sanderling.
In 1990, following the collapse of the Soviet system, Mikhail Pletnev was able to realize his dream of forming theRussian National Orchestra. Under his artistic leadership, the RNO has become known as one of the world's leading orchestras. Although his conducting career is primarily focused on the RNO, he also makes appearances as a guestconductor with such prestigious orchestras as theLondon Symphony Orchestra, the Berliner Sinfonieorchester and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. In September 1999, Pletnev was ap pointed the RNO's Conductor Laureate and his collaboration with the orchestra has continued in many of its recordings and concerts. In February 2003, he conducted the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra at the Berliner Konzerthaus for the official opening of the Russian Year of Culture.
Mikhail Pletnev's recordings and live performances as a pianist have proved him an outstanding interpreter of an extensive repertoire. As a composer, Pletnev's works include the Classical Symphony, Quintet for Piano and Strings, Triptych for Symphony Orchestra, Fantasy on Kazakh Themes for Violin and Orchestra, and Capriccio for Piano and Orchestra. In December 1998, the world première of his Concerto for Viola and Orchestra took place in Moscow, with Yuri Bashmet as soloist.
BBC Music Magazine said of the Russian National Orchestra's 2014 PENTATONE <> recording of Tchaikovsky's Manfred Symphony "...both conductor and orchestra are on particularly fine form in Manfred, delivering an insightful and compelling reading that takes its place among the finest available recordings of this work..."
His stature in Russia was formally recognized in 1995, when he was awarded the First State Prize of the Russian Federation by President Yeltsin. In 2002, he again received this honour from President Putin.

With A Twist
The final card is made using a light violet paper for the card base. The stamp set is Golden Garden. I first stamped the outlines in embossing ink and embossed with a gold powder. Once that was all cooled off I stamped the layer using a medium shade of violet. Be sure to wipe the embossed areas once you are done stamping. The ink will just sit on top of the embossing so it will smear if you don't wipe it off. You can tell by this card that I need to do a little work on my layers but the effect is still good. I did three of this one. What I would plan for in the future is leaving a little white space
(moving the flowers a little further apart). The sentiment is a simple HAPPY BIRTHDAY! The i has a little pink drop .

Chemical Peels- Acne
Our Peel menu has changed. View our NEW Chemical Peel Menu
Acne Peel; Ideal for oily, acneic, and sun-damaged skin.
Our peels have been designed to safely remove the outer layers of the skin through the application of organic acids derived from various natural sources. This process brings fresh plump cells to the surface of the skin giving it a vibrant, healthy, smooth and even appearance.
Description: Chemical peels work by separating the upper layers of the skin causing an accelerated cell turnover rate. Because of their molecular structure, these acids are able to penetrate past the acid mantle of the skin and deep into the layers beneath the surface of the skin. This causes your skin to shed and regenerate a new layer of skin in a 1 to 2 week period.
The acids we use in our professional chemical peels are typically derived from natural sources and produced for safe usage on the skin.
This 20% salicylic acid solution provides intense exfoliation for problematic or oily skin areas, even within oil-rich pores.
Pre-treatment protocols:
- Must not currently be on or have used Accutane or any other oral prescription acne medications in the past 12 months
- If currently using any products containing AHA/BHA/Retin A/Vitamin A on the area being treated, you must discontinue usage 2 weeks prior to procedure
- Must wait a minimum of 1 week from last tanning session
Time frame: 15-30 minutes
Recommended sessions: 4-8
Downtime required: 1-7 days
- Diabetes
- Pregnancy
- Skin cancer (remission under 2 years)
- Use of photosensitive medication and herbs
- Active infection of Herpes Simplex in treatment area
- Active skin infection
Potential side effects:
- Discomfort
- Fragile skin
- Edema (swelling)
- Erythema (redness)
NOTE: To be eligible for this treatment your skin must be pretreated with AHA or BHA (e.g. Enzyme Peel or pretreated with home care).

Some major and shocking revelations swarmed the Internet this morning when Crunchyroll, a top anime streaming website, told users not to access their site because the website's security was compromised. According to Crunchyroll's official Twitter account, "Please DO NOT access our website at the current time. We are aware of the issues and working on it." Currently, users are rerouted to an identical looking site and malware attempts infiltrating the user's computer.
According to many users, the front page auto-downloads a mysterious .exe file which can cause a multitude of issues to one's computer. Some suspect it could be a possible miner or other variation of malware. According to Crunchyroll's Twitter, no one should access the website. The Crunchyroll App will not work, however accessing the app will not cause damage to your device.
Crunchyroll then stated the website's issues appear to be a DNS (denial-of-service) attack. Even if this were true, no one truly knows what the extent of the damage is. Many users are complaining about the automatic file installing on their computer. If this has occurred to you, delete the file, do not run the file, and conduct an antivirus check; if you did run the file, change all passwords and backup your data.
More worrisome is the fact Crunchyroll's USA Twitter account has not issued a warning to its users because their employees are sleeping. That's right — a major security breach could impact many computers and potentially compromise sensitive security details and no emergency pipeline between the countries exist.
Crunchyroll USA finally updated their Twitter warning users not to access the website:

Get up to 50,000 Flying Club miles with Virgin Money International Money Transfer!
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
We have discussed the Virgin Money International Money Transfer service before on Head for Points. Their generous mileage offer was due to end last month but has now been rolled over for another year.
The company is offering up to 50,000 Virgin Flying Club miles when you use them to transfer money abroad.
Full details are on their website here. The offer runs until 12th August 2020.
EDIT: This offer has now ended, because Virgin Money has ended its relationship with WorldFirst who provided this service.
The amount of Virgin Flying Club miles you earn depends on the size of your transfer:
£5,000 – £9,999 – earn 2,500 miles
£10,000 – £19,999 – earn 5,000 miles
£20,000 – £49,999 – earn 10,000 miles
£50,000 – £99,999 – earn 25,000 miles
£100,000+ – earn 50,000 miles
You only earn miles on your first transfer. This seems a bit short-sighted to me, because I think many people would want to test the company out with a smaller amount before putting £100,000+ on the line.
Virgin Money promises a best price guarantee on all international money transfers, although as this guarantee excludes internet specialists such as Azimo and TransferWise you should treat it with a pinch of salt.
In order to get 'the best price on the high street', you need to register an account with Virgin Money and provide the quote you received from any high street bank in writing within three hours of receiving it. Virgin Money will then give you a matching quote.
Here is a summary of the small print:
You need to be a Virgin Atlantic Flying Club member and not already have a Virgin Money International Money Transfer account
You must complete your transaction by 12th August 2020
If your first transaction is over £5,000 you will qualify for miles which will be credited to your account within 60 days
This is not necessarily a 'no brainer' deal. The miles are worth around 1p each at best. If the Virgin Money rates are close to Azimo – or, for larger sums, Caxton FX, HiFX etc – then you may come out on top but you should definitely do the maths first.
Full terms and conditions can be found here.
The Virgin Money page is here.

Juan Pablo Said the Worst Thing to Andi Dorfman
Bachelor Nation still hasn't gotten over Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray's breakup. It was sad to learn that the Altanta-based couple wasn't going to be a Bachelorette success story. But while fans expressed their sorrow on social media, Juan Pablo Galavis posted the worst comment in response to Andi's breakup. I guess he doesn't have the capability of feeling sorry or sad because he's an all-around terrible person.
The former Bachelor took to Twitter on Monday to voice his lack of compassion, retweeting Andi and literally telling her "Its OK," [sic] which he knows was her least favorite phrase of his. Even worse was that he hijacked her own post and turned it into something negative. She had originally posted a picture of herself talking about how she missed her Bachelor friends (who had stopped by to cheer her up earlier that week), and how she was using a new app to stay connected with them.
Juan Pablo saw this tweet (he must have been intentionally Twitter-stalking her because he doesn't follow her), and decided he needed to throw in his two cents. He retweeted her picture and added "Its OK" [sic] followed by three of those crying/laughing emojis and one tongue-sticking-out emoji.
If that's not the most insensitive way to respond to anyone's breakup, I don't know what is. But it's a million times worse considering he and Andi also used to date, and the fact that she also happens to hate that stupid trademark phrase of his.
I don't know whether he was trying to get a rise out of her, or just trying to make a (really bad) joke. But if he hadn't already, he's officially cemented himself as the worst member of the Bachelor family. Let's hope Andi just ignores his dumb comment and continues her healing process with plenty of friendship, booze, and Taylor Swift. Because who needs boys when you have your girls?

text: BlogHere's The Only MAGIC KEY By kurtsadams January 18, 2019January 18, 2019 Leave a Comment on Here's The Only MAGIC KEY Generating success in one area of life is hard enough…but all of them? How can that even be possible? How can someone have an amazing social life, a loaded bank account, an amazing physique, and most importantly, a fulfilling lifestyle? Well, there's no "one thing," that will do it…but this secret that I'm about to share with you is probably the closest thing that there is to a magic key. Here it is… Always ask the following question: "How can I provide value?" Despite the simplicity of this concept, if you actually take the time to apply it to your life, you'll see the wisdom in this. You can apply this secret to all areas of your life. Whether you're trying to meet the perfect girlfriend, build a million dollar business, get shredded, or just build a fulfilling lifestyle, just asking this one simple question as often as possible, will yield you massive results. When you are always providing value to others, not only will you feel good about yourself but it works like the law of attraction. What you give out is what you get back. When you're so steeped in negativity, nobody who's positive wants to be around you, and you consistently draw more negative things into your life. You get "stuck," so to speak. On the flip side, however, this is also why positivity brings more positivity, into all areas of your life. Thank you for reading, hope this was useful!

- Case Study
Badger Technologies incorporated Aegis' MOS Manufacturing Operations Software into their Farmington, NY factory.
April 18, 2012 - Badger Technologies has incorporated Aegis' MOS Manufacturing Operations Software into their Farmington, NY factory. The Aegis MOS is helping Badger to better fulfill their customer's needs by streamlining their NPI documentation and machine programming processes, and allowing improved, online access to the documentation. Badger's NPI process involves using customer supplied data to create programs for their SMT and AOI equipment, and generate process documentation for their operators. Aegis MOS's facilities are automating the documentation activity, eliminating the need for manual data entry and bringing several benefits to Badger's manufacturing. The process for loading, validating and releasing documents for production had multiple manual data entry points. This was time-consuming and prone to human error, and has been eliminated. By contrast, Aegis generates documentation automatically and directly from customer-supplied data, virtually eliminating any chance of data entry errors. It also manages revision control. These features significantly reduce the time taken to prepare a job for production. Other benefits relate to documentation accessibility and understanding. Aegis MOS can import and merge a customer's CAD and BOM files to create a live, working visual aid that can be utilized in any aspect of production. All the documentation generated can easily be accessed from the system, eliminating the time and problems associated with pulling and managing data files. The Badger production team also appreciates how the software delivers a consistent method to control production programs and processes. Badger Technologies provides its innovative electronics manufacturing services across a broad range of industries including medical device manufacturing, industrial controls, aerospace and defense, transportation equipment, consumer electronics, and testing & measurement equipment. These are all commercially, technically and environmentally demanding applications which call for highly competitive lead times as well as impeccable product quality. "With all of the process enhancements AEGIS provides, this NPI software reduces the time required to ready a job for build," comments Chad Notebaert, Manufacturing Engineering Manager at Badger Technologies. "These factors will certainly help Badger in our continued goal to provide the highest quality product to our customers in a timeline that exceeds expectation." About Aegis Aegis Software provides single-vendor information systems for high-reliability manufacturers, providing a critical complement to enterprise-level ERP and PLM capabilities. Aegis' Manufacturing Operations Software (MOS) fully manages the manufacturing information environment, from process planning and launch, quality and test management, through manufacturing execution and shop floor materials control, to operations analytics and real-time dashboard systems. About Badger Technologies, Inc. Badger Technologies is a provider of innovative electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and supply chain solutions across a broad range of industries including medical device manufacturing, industrial controls, aerospace and defense, transportation equipment, consumer electronics, and testing & measurement equipment. From prototype to large scale commercialization, Badger delivers quality insured, cost targeted solutions in printed circuit board assemblies, electrical cable and wire harness manufacturing, and complete electro-mechanical box builds.Learn More

Lin Shaye!!!
How can you NOT love the wonderful Lin Shaye?! She's appeared in dozens of films, including her recent forey into horror - playing Granny Boone in Tim Sullivan's '2001 MANIACS' . She's also going to been seen this summer in this little movie people seem to be talking about called... 'SNAKES ON A PLANE'?! Read on for Icons Of Fright's one on one with actress Lin Shaye!!! - by Mike C. 8/06
What is the role you were expecting to be offered?
You did have role in the original Nightmare on Elm Street, the teacher, right?
Now didn't "Maniacs" have a somewhat bumpy start? Were you around for any of that?
I remember this, because '2001 Maniacs' had been announced for a 2001 release, right?
Yes, but the money fell out. So Tim said we were on hold, and at the point you let it go, you don't know what's going to happen next. Now the irony is the sets we were supposed to use had been in one of the big fires and the whole area was burned down. There was a weird irony to that because if we had been filming we would have been in trouble, or danger, at some point during that shoot. Then more time went by and Tim was over here for dinner and he got the phone call in my kitchen that the money had come through, there was a new set of producers, Raw Nerve, and Velvet Steamroller, a young company trying to find viable investments.
It makes the film look great.
Oh - you literally could not pay for those set pieces. They utilized all the real thing there to enrich and enliven what we were making. And this helped us change the concept of Granny.
In what way?
Well, now you can't have this woman in a coonskin cap. Now we're talking "Southern Belle" here.
What was it about Tim Sullivan that made you stick with "Maniacs" for so long?
Tim is just like a puppy with a rag in his mouth—once he gets a hold of something his passion is completely contagious. And his intellect too, in terms of what he was creating and wanted in terms of this movie, he really is a horror film aficionado.
Where there any particularly fun scenes for you in the film?
What is Robert like on the set?
Full of energy, ideas, goodwill. Completely professional. Non-stop energy and a talker. The thing is everything he says is really interesting. He's had a lot of experience in his career, and a lot of opportunities because of Freddy, which he's eager to share with everybody, and with young actors. A real team player, always ready to go.
But he never really went over-the-top with it, which could have been so easy to do with that character.
I felt so too, and he's very skilled with that and that comes from years of training and talent.
How about working with the rest of the cast, including a lot of young and new talent?
What were some ways you were able to help those guys out, being so experienced?
Do you know anything about some of the conflicting views on what the final cut of the film would be like?
A little bit, I mean, I think being that there were 3 different producing companies involved everybody had different considerations. Tim's idea was to create a vaudevillian horror film, slightly tongue in cheek. I think there was some difference of opinion on how funny the film should be, and how scary.
Speaking of doing some re-shoots, I see you're credited with "Snakes on a Plane", which just did some re-shoots.
Ah, yes! It's going to be the biggest hit of 2006! It's just a behemoth—it kept growing and growing.
I think the second anyone hears about it they instantly want to see it. What's your role in it?
Were you working with real snakes?
Oh yea! There were and I gotta tell you… they are fabulous creatures and I'm not afraid of them. I find them very fascinating and beautiful. The little squiggly ones are kind of weird, but the bigger ones, wow. They had this 600 pound python named "Kittie" that was on set, Burmese python. It took 10 people to hold her, and was probably one of the most beautiful living things I've ever seen. We had a fabulous snake wrangler, Jules Sylvester, one of the foremost reptile experts in the world in terms of what he does.
I want to touch a film you did a few years ago I thought was overlooked called "Dead End".
Yea… another great one, really. Unfortunately the distribution companies don't want to be creative in terms of their marketing. That could have been a gem of a sleeper and doing midnight runs. I think it would have sold.
I always recommend to people, I think it will find its audience.
I think it will too. I mean, interesting, I used to be known for "There's Something About Mary" and "Kingpin", now it's Lin Shaye who did "Dead End". It's great. It's starting to build its own steam. It did win a ton of awards in Europe. It won the Audience Award in San Sebastian, and in total about 4 best of show awards.
Were you nominated for anything because you and Ray were fantastic in it.
Yes, I won Best Supporting Actress in Belgium at a festival.
Now, how did you come to work with those Farrelly Brother's so often?
You did a great job in '2001 Maniacs' and 'Dead End', those are leading roles.

I'm looking forward to taking part in this year's Festival of Winter Walks with my local Ramblers group. Thanks to Players of People's Postcode Lottery for making the Festival possible.
I went on my first walk with a local group in March 2017, after recently stopping work.
Looking back, I've attempted various things but just haven't been confident enough to do them.
Outwardly I seem very confident. I've always been able to talk to people and have never had a problem speaking in front of large groups of people. But internally was always where I had absolutely no confidence, no self-belief.
The great thing about the walking is that it didn't seem threatening in any way.
As soon as I joined that group, my confidence just soared and it wasn't long before I was leading walks myself. The people in my group are so lovely and they have given this confidence to do extra things that I just didn't have before.
I felt at home with the group really quickly. Everyone was so friendly and chatty – it's such a relaxed atmosphere, everything's organised so well that it doesn't take a long time to settle in.
On only my second walk with the group, I admitted that I had never been to a National Park, or up a mountain. Some of the other members mentioned that they had a trip to the Lake District planned and invited me along.
I have no idea how I plucked up the courage to do it, but I drove the 200 miles on my own to join them and climbed Skiddaw, my first mountain. It was really hard, but that's the walk that really stands out in my mind; it was after that I got the walking bug. As soon as I got home, I started pulling out maps to see where I could go walking next!
I'm such a cautious person, scared of life – I would only walk the dog where there were lots of other people - but Ramblers is really helping me change that.
My group is so supportive and when I walk with them there is never any pressure. If you need a rest or to slow down, there is always someone who will keep you company.
There are quite a few people involved in the group who haven't got partners, but who just get so much from the camaraderie and support network that comes from being a part of the Ramblers.
I haven't had a brilliant time in my personal life recently – it's been quite hard – but the group has absolutely been my saviour. I know that that's been the case for a lot of other people too. It's a real network of friends with shared interests.
I know, if I was ever in that position, I could just put an email out to the group and I would get support straight away."
You can get involved too. Join a local walk in your area this Festival of Winter Walks.

Tottenham are facing a race against time to hand Christian Eriksen a new deal, with Barcelona reportedly ready to tempt the Dane with a summer offer.
The Spurs midfielder was a target for Barca during the January transfer window before they finally landed Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool in a £142m deal.
However, according to Spanish newspaper Sport, Catalan chiefs remain keen on the 27-year-old after monitoring his outstanding form since the turn of the year.
Like our dedicated Tottenham Facebook page for the latest news to your timeline
Tottenham are believed to be close to handing boss Mauricio Pochettino a lucrative new contract to fend off interest from the likes of Chelsea, Manchester United and PSG in his services, while several of their top stars, including Eriksen, are also set for pay rises.
Barca, however, are hopeful that if Pochettino snubs a new Spurs deal and moves on then they will be in a prime position to land the former Ajax playmaker.
The Denmark international has been in scintillating form since Christmas and scored one of the goals of the season in last weekend's historic first win for Tottenham at Chelsea in 28 years.

We saw her in Summer Bay and behind the bar in Emmerdale - but whatever happened to Emily Symons?
Emily Symons, 46, is most famous for her role as ditzy Marilyn Chambers in Home And Away, who married twice-her-age Summer Bay principal Donald Fisher. She also played barmaid Louise Appleton in Emmerdale.
How did Emily get her big break?
Emily left school before finishing her exams to launch herself into the acting world. For nearly a year, she worked in shops before getting her big break in a post office training video. That led to her first big role in Aussie soap Richmond Hill and in 1989 she beat Dannii Minogue to the role of Marilyn in Home And Away, staying in the soap for three years. She quit in 1992 to marry musician Nick Lipscombe, but after they split she returned for another stint, from 1995 to 1999.
So how did an Aussie end up in Emmerdale?
Emily moved to London after quitting Home And Away. Despite a few panto appearances, she was struggling to get an agent, when she was asked to join Emmerdale. The producers were looking for an Australian to play their 'sassy new Woolpack barmaid' Louise – and were so keen to have her she didn't even need to audition.
Is she married now?
In 2003 she tied the knot with Lorenzo Smith, son of Viscount Hambleden and descendant of stationery tycoon WH Smith. But they split after two years, with Emily later admitting that their struggle to have children, including having IVF 'killed' the marriage. She later dated her Emmerdale co-star Matt Healey, who played Matthew King, but they split in 2007.
What happened next?
After appearing on Dancing On Ice the same year, she headed home to Oz and resumed the role of Marilyn, who she's still playing now.
Emily and her partner Paul Jackson, 45, also welcomed a longed-for baby boy a week before her birthday, on 3 August. Aww!

It's a long-held myth that credit cards are the source of all evil because they nurture the inner shopaholic and help us incur debt. Not true! If used responsibly, credit cards can be very helpful.
Credit cards are convenient. You can use them practically anytime and anywhere. To some, the biggest benefit of a credit card is the option for installment payments for higher-priced items.
Credit cards also have benefits besides short-term gratification. In the long term, credit cards can help build credit history and improve credit scores — use them, pay them off and keep them open for a long time to build credit.
Here's why using a credit card is a good idea:
1. Credit cards can boost your credit score. Using and paying off credit cards help build your credit score — which is important when you apply for a loan to buy a new car or house.
2. There are rewards and benefits. Many credit cards offer airline miles, hotel points, cash back or points redeemable for merchandise or other rewards. If you play your cards right, your rewards can pay for an entire vacation!
3. Your cards have purchase protection. Many credit card companies offer theft and loss protection for purchases made on your card. Some cards extend the manufacturer's warranty at no charge.
The key is to use credit cards responsibly: always pay your bill on time and spend only what you can afford. If you plan to carry a balance, a card with a lower interest rate may be better than one with a rewards program.
City CU's Mastercard® offers a low interest rate and a rewards program. Apply today.
City CU also provides free credit counseling to Members and non-members. Learn more here.

As per data, windows are responsible for about 30% of the energy loss. During the summer months, a standard double-pane window lets about 76% of the sunlight falling on it to enter the room causing the room to heat up. The loss of energy through the windows can lead to an increase in the electricity bills as your AC and heater have to work harder to maintain the ideal temperature inside the room. Window treatments can be especially beneficial, in this case, as the reduced energy loss lowers the cost incurred on cooling and heating. They also increase the comfort and convenience of your home.
Usually, any type of window treatment will lead to energy savings. But certain window blinds are designed to enhance the energy efficiency of the room. Therefore, the exact level of savings will depend on the climate, season, the type of window blind and how it is being used. Different types of window blinds have different features which will also result in different level of energy efficiency depending on the model you choose.
There are various types of blinds available in the market – Venetian blinds, Cellular blinds, Roman blinds, and Zebra blinds, etc. Cellular blinds are the best when it comes to energy savings. The unique design of cellular blinds provides excellent insulation. The material is designed in pleats which can fold up like an accordion either at top or bottom of the window. These insulated shades have single or double layers of air in their honeycomb cross-section. These air pockets in the cellular blinds act as insulators which are known for reducing the heat conduction through the window and increasing the R-value. Reducing the heat loss from windows more than 40%, cellular blinds can result in up to 20% of savings on your electricity bill.
Window blinds with vertical or horizontal slats are extremely efficient when it comes to reducing the heat gain during the summer months. Between the slats, there are multiple openings which offer a high degree of flexibility. The slats can also be used to control light and glare apart from the solar heat gain. Especially the blinds with horizontal slats can be adjusted to reflect the direct sunlight it receives onto a ceiling with a light shade of color. The light-colored ceiling can then diffuse the light while allowing you to enjoy the benefits of natural daylight.
Zebra blinds are another popular option when it comes to energy efficient blinds. The beauty of Zebra blinds is that it combines the function and features of roller blinds and venetian blinds. The horizontal zebra blinds come in a combination of two kinds of slat made up of the light-filtering and room darkening fabrics which are interwoven for you to enjoy the advantages of both the types. The intelligent design of zebra blinds in combination with the range of options available in fabric, color, and material makes them the most affordable energy efficient blinds.
Apart from thermal efficiency, zebra blinds allow you to control the light entering the room resulting in additional savings and convenience. No matter which type of blind you would like to opt for – venetian blinds, cellular blinds or zebra blinds Delhi has many reputed stores providing an excellent range of styles, colors, fabrics, materials, and designs.

Vinton Gray "Vint" Cerf[1] (pronounced /ˈsɜrf/; born June 23, 1943) is an American computer scientist who is the "person most often called 'the father of the Internet'."[2][3] [4] His contributions have been recognized repeatedly, with honorary degrees, and awards that include the National Medal of Technology,[1] the Turing Award,[5] and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.[6]
In the early days, Cerf was a program manager for the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funding various groups to develop TCP/IP technology. When the Internet began to transition to a commercial opportunity, Cerf moved to MCI where he was instrumental in the development of the first commercial email system (MCI Mail) connected to the Internet.
Vinton Cerf was instrumental in the funding and formation of ICANN from the start. Cerf waited in the wings for a year before he stepped forward to join the ICANN Board. Eventually he became the Chairman of ICANN.
Cerf has worked for Google as its Vice President and Chief Internet Evangelist since September 2005.[7] In this function he has become well known for his predictions on how technology will affect future society, encompassing such areas as artificial intelligence, environmentalism, the advent of IPv6 and the transformation of the television industry and its delivery model.[8]
Cerf also went to the same high school as Jon Postel and Steve Crocker; he wrote the former's obituary. Both are also people who were instrumental in the creation of the internet as we know it (see articles).
Cerf's first job after obtaining his B.S. in Mathematics from Stanford University was at IBM, where he worked for less than two years as a systems engineer supporting QUIKTRAN.[1] He left IBM to attend graduate school at UCLA where he earned his master's degree in 1970 and his PhD degree in 1972.[9] During his graduate student years, he studied under Professor Gerald Estrin, worked in Professor Leonard Kleinrock's data packet networking group that connected the first two nodes of the ARPANet,[10] the predecessor[10] to the Internet, and "contributed to a host-to-host protocol" for the ARPANet.[11] While at UCLA, he also met Robert E. Kahn, who was working on the ARPANet hardware architecture.[11] After receiving his doctorate, Cerf became an assistant professor at Stanford University from 1972-1976, where he "conducted research on packet network interconnection protocols and co-designed the DoD TCP/IP protocol suite with Kahn.[11]DARPA in 1976, where he stayed until 1982.
As vice president of MCI Digital Information Services from 1982-1986, Cerf led the engineering of MCI Mail, the first commercial email service to be connected to the Internet. Cerf rejoined MCI during 1994 and served as Senior Vice President of Technology Strategy. In this role, he helped to guide corporate strategy development from a technical perspective. Previously, he served as MCI's senior vice president of Architecture and Technology, leading a team of architects and engineers to design advanced networking frameworks, including Internet-based solutions for delivering a combination of data, information, voice and video services for business and consumer use.
During 1997, Cerf joined the Board of Trustees of Gallaudet University, a university for the education of the deaf and hard-of-hearing.[12] Cerf is hard of hearing.[13]
Cerf joined the board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) in 1999, and served until the end of 2007.[14]
Cerf is a member of the Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov's IT Advisory Council, a group created by Presidential Decree on March 8, 2002.[15] He is also a member of the Advisory Board of Eurasia Group, the political risk consultancy.[16]
Cerf is also working on the Interplanetary Internet, together with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. It will be a new standard to communicate from planet to planet, using radio/laser communications that are tolerant of signal degradation.[17]
During February 2006, Cerf testified before the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation's Hearing on "Network Neutrality".[18]
Cerf currently serves on the board of advisors of Scientists and Engineers for America, an organization focused on promoting sound science in American government.[19]
Cerf is on the board of advisors of The Hyperwords Company Ltd of the UK, which works to make the web more usefully interactive and which has produced the free Firefox Add-On called 'Hyperwords'.[20]
During 2008 Cerf chaired the IDNAbis working group of the IETF.[21]

Phoenix Dance Theatre – Particle Velocity tour – London
Phoenix Dance Theatre are part way through their Autumn "Particle Velocity" tour – Paul Arrowsmith caught up with them in London at their Royal Opera House Linbury performances…
Sharon Watson – Artistic director, Phoenix Dance Theatre
Funding is my biggest frustration. Compared to others, we receive peanuts. We have to strip everything back. That can be healthy – forcing me to scrutinise why I want something and concentrating on production values.

Crais surprised me again. Not so much with the mystery as a very sweet subplot that I didn't expect in a mystery-thriller. Connections from the last book have given Elvis more referrals from the movie world, and a famous small-screen actress Jodi Taylor is looking for the parents who gave her up as an infant. The trail takes Elvis to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, giving readers a change from the familiar L.A. scene.
When Elvis landed in a small town and started getting a feel for the place, I felt like I was there with him, from the local storefront BBQ and the people lined up during lunch, to the nosy librarian to the flavorful etouffee to the endlessly flat fields of sweet potatoes. Suddenly a lot of 'podnah' started seeping in. Turns out Crais is from Louisiana, so he comes by it honestly.
I enjoyed characterization quite a bit in the first part of the book. There's a lot of emotional complexity to Taylor. I appreciate that it wasn't just used to set up the investigation, but continues throughout the story. The case brings Elvis into contact with a lawyer (as always), and I appreciated the way Crais developed their interaction. I thought Elvis' excitement quite sweet, nostalgically recalling such moments myself.
Once again, Crais does interesting things with the typical mystery plot, where solving one issue leads to another. This time, however, it worked less well, feeling like it veered off into a very different direction, both in plotting and in atmosphere. Joe Pike makes his usual appearance for the action. He's fast becoming a sure-fire sign that things are about to come to a head.

As a pedestrian, you know one thing to be true: You have to keep your eyes out for danger at all times. This can mean many things, including drivers that aren't always paying attention to the road.
There are many causes of a vehicle-pedestrian accident, including but not limited to:
-- Distracted driving.
-- Driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
-- Speeding.
-- Neglecting to stop at a stop sign or traffic light.
-- Failing to yield to pedestrian, such as in a crosswalk.
-- Disregarding weather conditions.
-- Reckless driving.
As a pedestrian, you can do several things to help prevent a serious accident. For example, don't cross the road unless you're in a designated crosswalk. Along with this, look both ways before you take your first step off the curb.
If you are involved in an accident with a vehicle, it's imperative to receive immediate medical attention. Since you don't have any protection, there's a good chance that you've suffered a serious injury.
Your medical team can examine you for injuries, provide a diagnosis and help you implement a treatment plan that will get you back on track in the future.
Once you feel up to it, it's time to learn more about the cause of your accident. This typically means finding out why the driver struck you. If you come to the conclusion that the driver acted in a negligent manner, such as by speeding through a stop sign, you may be able to take action that allows you to receive compensation for your injuries and other damages.
