Digital postcards - brilliant idea !
I received a Postsnap card from a friend on holiday. I had never seen these before. My friend had included a photo of her family and a couple of views she had taken. I went straight to the Apple App Store. Amazed that so many people (99.9%) had rated it 5*. Downloaded it straight away and within minutes had created a three picture card to send. Very, very easy to create a card, type your own message, change the font style, colour AND size. The App even finds addresses with just a postcode and saves them in your address book for future use. Also cards can be duplicated to send to more than one recipient. I had one query which I asked the Postsnap team. Had a reply straight away with a sweet personal message. The team are obviously dedicated to their job and value their customers. They kept me informed of the progress of the cards - told me when they had been printed and posted.
The card I received from my friend in the first instance was superb quality, very think card, high glossy pictures and clear message type and address.
Amazing little App. I will be using this method of postcard sending on my holiday as buying cards is no trouble in Europe, but finding stamps and a postbox is a hassle. Thanks TEAM POSTSNAP for a wonderful solution.
Developer Response ,
Hi there,
Thanks so much for your amazing 5 star review which we all really appreciate.
We are pleased that you enjoy using PostSnap and we look forward to serving you in the future.

The perfect answer 💕
I started using this service with postcards when I was sailing abroad. Communicating with those at home especially those not using the internet or smart phones was difficult, especially finding post offices, local rates and reliable services. So this was the ideal answer, so easy to use, convenient and totally efficient. Friends of ours were delighted to be regularly updated.
On returning home, I have continued to use it because again it saves a journey to a less than local post office, and has the added benefit of being able to send recent photos as well. And sending a card with recent photos is so much nicer than an email for special occasions, even when internet based commas are possible.
Convenient, reliable, personal, easy to use and efficient - a wonderful service.
Fantastic app with excellent customer service
My Sister-in-law introduced me to this app last October and I was amazed how easy it is to use and send personalised post cards. My family and friends love getting postcard that actually feature the whole family not just a " ooh what a pretty picture of whatever " I love it as I can send all the nice pictures from holiday and don't have to waste my money on postcards of views that hold little significance and have to spend hours trawling for stamps and post boxes !! I have introduced many friend to this app since and they are all impressed.
The best thing about the app is the amazing customer support I have received every single time I have asked for assistance. In this day and age of huge technological advances it so often falls down with absolutely no customer support and this leaves you eternally downhearted and frustrated......but not with POSTSNAP. This company have the customer at the centre of their business and will always do everything they can to help you with every query. Thank you POSTSNAP for your amazing app and service.

You always hear people asking, "Why do drive-up ATMs have Braille on the buttons? Do they think blind people will be driving? LOL". But my question is far more simple. Why do ATMs have Braille on them? Do they think blind people will be pulling out cash? The buttons don't have assigned functions and values, and their purpose changes with every option you select. So how would a blind person know when to hit which button?
It seems we as humans are advancing technologically into areas our parents' generation only dreamed of. There's that damn preposition at the end of my sentence again. But at the same time, we're getting dumber and dumber. Think about it. Do you know any rocket scientists, personally? Do you know anyone who actually has contributed something to the technology revolution? It's sort of just something that happens when we put our minds together. Yet, I don't know any single individual who isn't susceptible to being an idiot sometimes.

About Book
"You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club." --Jack London
Book Description
San Francisco Bay is so large that often its storms are more disastrous to ocean-going craft than is the ocean itself in its violent moments. The waters of the bay contain all manner of fish, wherefore its surface is ploughed by the keels of all manner of fishing boats manned by all manner of fishermen. To protect the fish from this motley floating population many wise laws have been passed, and there is a fish patrol to see that these laws are enforced. Exciting times are the lot of the fish patrol: in its history more than one dead patrolman has marked defeat, and more often dead fishermen across their illegal nets have marked success.
Download Description
Of the fish patrolmen under whom we served at various times, Charley Le Grant and I were agreed, I think, that Neil Partington was the best. He was neither dishonest nor cowardly; and while he demanded strict obedience when we were under his orders, at the same time our relations were those of easy comradeship, and he permitted us a freedom to which we were ordinarily unaccustomed.

Fresh Holiday
It's a fresh new year. There is wholesomeness in a fresh start.
Transitions to the new, can be tricky and trying, binding together is important. Our holiday season was full of love, goodness, community and of course a wee bit of stress.
I love quietly noticing, as my kids grow older, that they are forming their very own community, a bit of distance from us, but bound.
We got a new Balloon - our therapy dog. He moved in on black 'lab' Friday. You probably remember Kirby, and how heart-broken we were when she had to move out. Balloon is filling gaps and healing the humans. I didn't really realize that a dog could be the kind of companion that would decrease your stress level. We hit the jackpot when we decided to adopt this go-around.
There is unlimited promise in 2017, kindle it in your community & state, find it (or create it) in your country, and seek it out in our world. I know it is difficult to find hope sometimes, it seems more important than ever that we do. People need people. There are going to be people left without, and with our incoming administration that could be a more frequent occurrence. We need to look out for one another. In lieu of holiday gifts, for those who didn't really need much, we found people who do, and contributed on their behalves.
I sat around, with my favorite community, on New Year's Eve and we discussed people doing good, making a difference, making change. I want to hear about your random acts of kindness. I want to hear about when you gave a homeless person a one hundred dollar bill just because you had one. I want to hear about you putting a Menorah in your windowsill, because you stand in solidarity with your local synagogue that is feeling threatened by an increase of antisemitism in your city. I want to hear about the person that you shared a sandwich with that needed 'anything you had to offer'. I want to hear about your kindnesses, because they inspire others. They inspire me.
In 2017 I have plans, not resolutions. I will keep helping Mamas have babies. I will give whenever I'm able. I will collaborate with strong women. I will make my voice heard. I will take (and share) a couple of European holidays. I will turn 40. I will keep showing my boys how to be strong and compassionate humans. I will volunteer in my community. I will strengthen my country.
In knitting news: I've been making these (4 this weekend) for my friends that will be attending the march in D.C.. I used super chunky yarn from my pal and her flock. And, this pattern, knits up in no time.
In sewing news: I cannot wait to show you a collaborative piece, that I was honored to participate in with 25 women, inspired by Betsy Ross, hope for our country, and a whole lot of creative souls. I'll be able to reveal it soon, as inauguration day is rapidly approaching, and the seamstress assembling it is taking it to the march in D.C..
In maker news: I will release a 'fresh' new line of safe health/beauty products. Here is a sneak (label) peek, designed by Gus Hickey. Salves, lip balm, deodorant & more are coming to freshen your 2017. I will have a tiny shop right here, on coming up rainbows.
Tell me, please tell me, about your 'fresh holiday' and what you plan to kindly and gently do this year.

Public art near the Crocker Museum.
I go out and walk every day, and then head somewhere to explore and maybe play some Ingress. If Malida is off, we explore together and find a nice place to eat. She is in the middle of transitioning to a new position at a different clinic, much closer to home than the one she works at now. It will be a nice change for her, but in the meantime she is working hours at both.
We are taking next week off and heading up into the mountains. I rented a cabin near a lake where there is no tv, no internet and no phone. I am looking forward to just enjoying the scenery and drifting some more.
After that I head back to work to prepare for the next semester. I went in today to take care of a few things and was able to meet our new director, who is my new boss. First impression is that she is awesome. She has the same DNP degree that I am pursuing, and we talked about our common interests for a while. She has a lot of positive energy. I'm looking forward to seeing how the semester progresses.
A cat I met on my travels. This was next to a wonderful hole-in-the-wall Mexican place where I had lunch the other day.
My advanced certification in critical care was due to expire today. I haven't worked in the ICU in more than 4 years, and I had put it on inactive status to see where I would end up. To rectify you need a certain number of hours in direct patient care in the ICU, which I don't have. Fortunately, they created a category of certification for people like me, who, although we no longer work in the trenches, grow the next generation of critical care nurses. It is called Critical Care Registered Nurse-Knowledge. I like that. So that's what I am now: CCRN-K.
A very cool grave marker for a general surgeon who died on my birthday in 1992.
I still have some stuff to accomplish before the semester starts. I need to open and process all the non-essential mail that has accumulated in a big pile on the table. Hopefully there is nothing surprising within. I also need to take our other cat to be fixed. I keep saying this, but she seems happy enough most of the time so I keep putting it off. And I need to clean up my desk at home to prepare for this doctoral semester, that, according to one of my professors, is going to "kick your ass".
But until then, I will continue to drift.

Gutenberg the Geek by Jeff Jarvis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This short book (more of an essay, really) was sold as an Amazon single. I got it because I have been thinking about the premise that seeing how printing changed the world in the 15th century can help us understand how the Internet is changing our world in the 21st century. Jarvis gets into this by postulating that Gutenberg can be understood as an early version of a Silicon Valley Start-Up. This is an interesting take since I never thought of it in exactly those terms before.
My own thinking has been along the lines of how we communicate is changing. Before printing, communication was essentially limited to one person talking to one other person (or maybe a small group of other people.) After printing we get one person talking to a mass market. As literacy and technology changed the size of that mass market increased, but not the character of the communication model. Radio, television, and movies were simply refinements of this model, but not essentially different. The Internet changed this, and many of the fights we see about copyrights, net neutrality, and even things as mundane as asymmetric bandwidth are just examples of the "broadcast" industries (i.e. print, radio, television, movies) trying to keep their model of the world going and stop the new model of many-to-many communication from coming into being. I think they will fail, but they can do a lot of damage along the way.
Jarvis mention Elizabeth Eisenstein as a resource, and rightly so, but he does not seem to have used her book "The Printing Revolution in Early Modern Europe". It is still on my "To be read" list, but I am told it is an important work on this topic.

ArisGlobal is the most renowned provider of drug safety and risk management software and solutions. They provide the most suitable pharmacovigilance and risk management solutions to pharmaceutical companies.
Drug Safety And Risk Management Software By ArisGlobal. RTSM (Randomization and Trial Supply Management) - ArisGlobal. Medical Coding Software From ArisGlobal. Best Drug Safety System - ArisGlobal. Pharmacovigilance and Safety Pharmacovigilance (PV) involves the receipt, triage, data entry, coding, medical assessment, distribution, aggregate reporting and archival of AE data and supporting documentation.
Historically, due to regulatory focus on expedited reporting of individual case summary reports (ICSRs) most pharmacovigilance (PV) departments have focused on the time consuming process of case management, with two leading case processing systems emerging in Oracle ArgusTM and ARISgTM. More recently, regulatory agencies have focused their priority on the areas of signal detection and risk management.
This shift in focus mandates proactive and reactive analysis of a product's risk benefit profile, beyond ICSR processing alone. Concurrent to increased regulatory demands, greater patient awareness means the industry as a whole is experiencing a significant increase in the volume of adverse event reports. LPV is designed to work with your legacy case processing system. Best Medical Dictionary Software By ArisGlobal.
Identification Of Medicinal Products (IDMP) - ArisGlobal. Key Features/Benefits: Provides full compliance with the ISO IDMP standard Allows the import and cleansing of raw data from different sources or can work with an MDM solution Supports workflow driven process for enrichment and verification of compiled information Acts as central source of product information throughout the organization Provides webservices and standard connectors to integrate with 3rd party systems Supports the electronic submission of IDMP data Background As a continuation of the current xEVMPD mandate (Article 57), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) is in the process of defining and implementing new standards based on the ISO standard for the identification of medicinal products (ISO IDMP).
The challenge for the industry however is more than the evolution of xEVMPD. Although the deadlines for the compliance mandate are not yet finalized, it is clear that with the size of the challenge at hand companies need to start working on this now. agIDMP™ Clinical Trial Disclosure - ArisGlobal. Key Features/Benefits Manages all registrations from a single platform Ensures compliance with global clinical trial regulations Ensures data consistency across multiple registries Allows reuse of data across multiple registries Provides built-in flexibility for fast implementation of new regulatory requirements and registries Automatically updates with the newest versions of registries Out of-the box validation rules for many registries, including ClinicalTrials.gov and EudraCT Flexible database structure and business rules adapt to future requirements without coding Data can be imported from any CTMS.
Clinical Trial Data Management Software (CTMS) By ArisGlobal. Background Every clinical trial requires close collaboration between many departments, which often results in the deployment of a wide range of supporting systems that are rarely integrated.
Yet the deployment of diverse clinical systems from different vendors, using different technology, can create a disconnect within clinical development, making it difficult to ensure compliance and achieve a complete overview of all clinical activity and progress. agClinical™ - Clinical Trial Management System agClinical™ is a comprehensive and versatile clinical trial management system (CTMS) that enables life science organizations to plan, track and control all tasks and activities related to the set-up, conduct and closeout of clinical trials.
Automated Study Set-Up Study set-up is facilitated by automating many core activities such as study planning, site assessments, investigator selection, enrollment planning, document distribution and site visit planning. Streamlined Study Conduct. Electronic Trial Master File (eTMF) - ArisGlobal. Key Features/Benefits Maintains visibility, status and control of trial documentation Improves readiness for audits and inspections Enables faster and more efficient site setup and initiation Ensures file structure and organization quality with support for the DIA TMF Reference model Delivers significant time and labor cost savings compared to paper-based TMF approach Streamlines key business processes through integrated workflows Enables easy search, retrieval, reporting and status overview of documents Fully integrated with CTMS and investigator portal solutions Background Providing controlled access – storing, organizing and tracking — to thousands of essential clinical trial documents is no easy task.
AgFileMaster™ agFileMaster™ serves as the centralized, global repository for managing, organizing, storing, accessing and archiving all trial-related documents. Full document management is combined with clinical trial logic to support the complete lifecycle of each document. Regulatory Information Management System Software By ArisGlobal. Background Regulatory affairs (RA) involves more than managing submissions and license applications.
In reality, RA is focused on the tracking and management of the entire regulatory process to ensure that all products are developed, manufactured, licensed and supplied in accordance with the product license, approved manufacturing specifications and global regulations. All of this while optimising the use of scarce resources.

(Geneva) – The International Service for Human Rights, along with Amnesty International and other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) has released a checklist for the selection and appointment of a new UN expert on human rights defenders.
(Geneva) – The International Service for Human Rights, along with Amnesty International and other non-governmental organisations (NGOs) has released a checklist for the selection and appointment of a new UN expert on human rights defenders.
The position of 'Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders', mandated by the Human Rights Council, will become vacant in April 2014 when the existing mandate holder – Margaret Sekaggya from Uganda – will leave office after two terms of three years.
'The Human Rights Council's independent human rights experts are among the most accessible and valuable tools for human rights defenders,' said Michael Ineichen, Human Rights Council Advocacy Director at the International Service for Human Rights.
'The expert on human rights defenders plays a crucial role in supporting and protecting human rights defenders and ensuring that their work is not subject to unlawful restrictions. This is especially important where domestic protection systems are inadequate, ineffective or non-existent', Mr Ineichen said.
The checklist, contained in a written statement submitted to the 24th session of the Human Rights Council, sets out the minimum requirements that prospective candidates must fulfil. It seeks to ensure the position continues to be occupied by an individual with the required high qualifications and independence. The checklist is intended to be used by all stakeholders to assist in the identification of and outreach to highly qualified and independent candidates for vacant positions. States may also use the document to strengthen national consultations processes for the identification of suitable candidates.
'It's imperative that the criteria used to measure prospective candidates take full account of the specific challenges faced by human rights defenders,' Mr Ineichen said. 'For example, the candidate should have demonstrated experience in developing legislation and policy for the protection of human rights defenders and in creating an enabling environment for their work.'
The checklist is also intended for use by the Council's Consultative Group and the President of the Human Rights Council to ensure that only highly qualified and independent candidates are considered and appointed.

SCG upgrading meter-reading process
The Southern Connecticut Gas Co. is spending $18 million to change the way it reads customers' gas meters.
The Orange-based utility, which is owned by UIL Holdings Corp., has begun replacing a meter reading system it installed 17 years ago with a newer model. Installation of the new meter reading units got underway this week in Orange and Milford. A total of 190,000 new meter reading modules will be installed by the time the work is completed next August, according to company officials.
The system that is being replaced transmitted the usage information of SCG customers to a specially-equipped vehicle that employees would drive through neighborhoods collecting the data. The new meter reading modules will transmit customers' usage data to devices mounted on utility poles.
"The switch to this new fixed-network system will bring SCG to a streamlined meter-reading platform, enhancing customer service while minimizing operating costs," Robert Allessio, senior vice president of Connecticut gas operations for UIL, said in a statement.
UI has contracted with a Washington State-based company, Itron, to install the new meter reading system. The change in meter reading systems will not result in the layoff of any SCG employees, said Michael West, a company spokesman.
"That was not all those employees did." West said referring to the employees that drive the meter reading trucks. "This just allows us to repurpose their time. We also believe its better for the enviroment since you won't have all those trucks driving around."
The meter reading technology is similar to one already in use for large commercial customers at SCG, as well as Connecticut Natural Gas Corp., which is also owned by UIL Holdings.
SCG serves 165,000 customers in 22 communities along the Connecticut shoreline, including 15 in the New Haven area.

As we head out for our five-month on the road adventure we don't enter this phase without plans and preparation. Learn how to plan for your next adventure and how to pack when you live out of an SUV and Airbnbs.
We are far from an expert in this, essentially because we are living this and learning as we go. Although my husband and I are both planners and problem solvers, we do have a heads up on some of the things we need to know and will encounter on our five-month travels of the middle United States. See blog on Downsizing Story an on the Road Sabbatical.
The Plan
"All you need is the plan, the roadmap, and the courage to press on to your destination." Planning just means looking ahead. As we started planning over a year ago. We followed this means of planning: Pray, Ideas, Plan, Pray, Work the plan, Live it, Pray.
Back in May 2019 while I was planning a Grad Party, a Wedding and a Shower, my husband was enjoying the process of figuring out which states we would visit in our travels. I agreed to most every idea but it was mostly his plans and my inputs. That's how we roll with it. He likes long range planning and I like short term planning.
He made a list of the states to visit, where we could live or just wanted to see, that had mild winter temps and summers we could handle. We will see what winter is like.
He figured out how long we needed to be at each place and made up the plan. We will see if this plan continues to work out as we travel.
The states we plan to visit are South Carolina, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Oregon and visits to friends and family in California. We will see how this works out. Our adventure begins on January 6th.
We started this process in our life before we even knew this would be a reality. We started to save money so we could have some finances for this travel.
Make sure you are out of debt and you save up finances, or traveling without a paycheck can be burdensome or may not be possible.
We also planned to sell our belongings and furniture so we could live off the money from selling our possessions
The Details: Insurance, Mail and License tabs
Another thing we had to figure out is medical insurance. We decided to apply for Medishare insurance for our family for the six months we will be without jobs. If we were self-employed this would probably be our insurance.
We also decided to use a mail service to forward our mail and give us a legal address. The mail service (Traveling Mailbox) will scan our mail and we will need to decide if they should email it to us or shred it. Most of our bills today can be paid for online. If you don't want to spend $19 a month on this service you can have your family or friends deal with your mail if you forward it to them.
When you forward your mail, use a paper form to forward your mail. For some reason, the local post office didn't know we moved when we forwarded our mail online. I say do it both ways to make sure they do forward your mail.
We recently sold one of our vehicles, one we will be driving and the other one our kid's use. We were able to pay our car license tabs up to six months ahead. Looking ahead at bills and paying them ahead can save you hassle on the road.
Airbnb Stays
We sold our house so we would not have to rent it and worry about it. Since we were quitting our jobs and planning on moving to another state in the future, we knew this would make the most sense. See Blog God can be trusted for a button and a place to live.
We decided that an Airbnb would make the most sense to get to know people. We will be able to live with people from week to week. There will be more to this story as we live this out.
We have been booking our Airbnb stays ahead and as of now, we have our stays booked a month out. We have found that we can stay for $30-$50 a night. We generally have our own bedroom and bath and can share the kitchen with the owner. Many Airbnbs has dogs or cats in the house, so if you are allergic you may have to pay more for stays or consider other options.
Meals in itself will have to be a future blog. We plan to eat healthily but know I will not be doing as much home cooking and grabbing food from my pantry to make meals. We will have to plan from week to week and take into consideration what we will be doing each day and what types of kitchens will be available to use where we are staying. It may be a full kitchen or just a kitchenette.
The grocery stores have much food that is available. Salad kits, meal kits, fruits, vegetables and simple recipes that we can make for ourselves and the people we stay with.
I have decided to take a few spices with me, a few knives I can't cook without and my immersion blender so I can make some protein smoothies and occasional salsa or guacamole. See blog on Immersion blender uses. I will implement some of my menus from vacation menu planning blog.
Finally, we need to get all our stuff in our midsize SUV. What are we Packing? Since we will have temperatures from 20-80 we need to bring a variety of clothes. Clothing for hiking, biking, swimming, church and casual. We will pack one bag that has a mixture of clothing for cold or hot weather.
This will be the hardest area for me. I may get tired of the clothing I am bringing, but I can wash my clothes weekly and if I am missing something I can head to goodwill to buy it. It's hard when you don't know the weather, but I do know I am usually cold when it's under 70 degrees out.
Packing cubes are great for undergarments and the college bathroom mesh bag works great for bathroom items, especially since I want to use normal size containers.
My second bag will be smaller and have all of my grooming supplies and all the extras such as vitamins. I will also bring a small shoulder bag that I can put my clothing in that I will need for 3-4 days at a time.
We will also include a bin in the car with our bike helmets, travel books, jackets, cooking spices and etc. One bag/container will contain some snacks, granola bars, tea and coffee making supplies.
One final container will include our office supplies and paperwork. I will also have my backpack of electronics and reading and writing supplies. Of course, there is a bag for just about every other category.
Check out Facebook at @dabillaroundthetable and follow @dabillanna on Instagram account for more details of packing with pictures and
Comments from others
We have received many comments from those we know and here are some of the comments our friends family and or people we know have said to us.
"I can't believe you are doing this? Sounds scary. I would never do this. "
Some women I have told our plans to have said this, "Don't tell my husband or he will want to do this. "
And yet some adventurous young moms have said, " I am so jealous, I wish I could do this now. "
This may not be for you but God only knows the plans he has for you. Ask Him what he wants you to do with your life as you dream a little. We hope this inspires you to plan for an adventure in your life whether it be in your community or it takes you away from your community or you go on a travel sabbatical.
God only knows our Tomorrows. Heading out January 6th!

|I feel tense these days...
|~ Magnet Man in Mega Man & Bass.
Magnet Man( or Magunettoman in Japan) is one of the eight robot masters and main antagonists of the NES video game Mega Man 3 as well as one of the four additional bosses of the Gameboy video game Mega Man II. While once a humble android who was created to generate magnetism for Dr.Light, Magnet Man was kidnapped and reprogrammed to destroy Mega Man should he find him.
Mega Man III
After his defeat by the hands of Mega Man in Mega Man 2, Dr. Wily kidnapped Magnet Man, along with 6 other robots, from his arch-nemesis Dr.Light in an attempt to defeat him. Dr.Wily reprogrammed Magnet Man and the others from simple utility androids, to violent robot masters.
Dr. Wily assigns Magnet Man to an old robot factory to command all of the basic enemies in the game. Mega Man infiltrates Magnet Man's base to defeat him and gain his powers. Once Mega Man enters Magnet Man's room, the latter ambushes the former as Magnet Man's reprogramming requires him to. In the game, Mega Man must use either use Spark Man or Shadow Man's (or Magnet Man's own depending on the circumstances) weapon to defeat Magnet Man. Once defeated, Mega Man obtains Magnet Man's ability to fire magnet missiles which give Mega Man an advantage against Hard Man, Doc Robot (in the form of Metal Man, Doc Robot (in the form of Air Man), and/or even Magnet Man himself depending on the circumstances.
Once Mega Man reaches Dr. Wily's fortress, Magnet Man is revived to battle Mega Man once again. Mega Man can use Magnet Man's own weapon against him to gain the upper hand, presumably because the magnetic fields cancel each other out leaving Magnet Man vulnerable with his magnetic field disabled. After Magnet Man is defeated for the second time, he doesn't appear for the rest of the game.
Mega Man II (Game Boy)
After Mega Man reaches Dr.Wily's castle, Mega Man must battle Magnet Man along with 3 other robot masters from Mega Man 3. After Mega Man defeats Magnet Man using Needle Man's titular Needle Cannon, Magnet Man doesn't appear for the rest of the game, presumably being defeated for good.
- According to Magnet Man's info CD from Mega Man & Bass (or Rockman & Fortei n Japan), Magnet Man dislikes floppy disks. This is because if a magnet is placed on top of a floppy disk, the magnetic radiation corrupts the data the disk contains.
- Magnet Man is similar to Junk Man in the sense that they are both weak against electricity based attacks.

OPPOSITION is mounting against plans to shut Arnside and Staveley fire stations in the wake of massive cuts to local government funding.
Cumbria County Council wants to close five stations across the county as it looks for ways to slash £55m from its budget over the next two years as austerity measures bite.
And today, The Westmorland Gazette launches a campaign demanding the fire stations are kept open.

Matt Haryasz Quotes
16 Matt Haryasz quotes:
"We're moving in the right direction. We're starting to get a lot of momentum."
"We need to get some swagger, some confidence, back. We need to be getting into people defensively and having more of a presence on the court. UCLA is a tough one to open with, but I like where we're at right now."
"I think we just stuck to the game plan. For us it's playing good defense and executing on offense. We got a nice lead there. Everyone is playing well right now."
"It's a fun place to play. They've got a great student section, and it's always exciting to play up there."
"It's going to be a good game. They're good."
"He's an amazing athlete. That's obviously going to hurt their team. But Arizona's a very resilient team."
"We're fighting to stay in this thing. We're in a race and now we're one game out of [first place in the Pac-10]."
"The past three years we played ASU first, and we always prepared for ASU during the week; we would never prepare for Arizona until after the game. That's how it is on all road trips. You prepare for the team you are going to play Thursday."
"I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. When we got back, as late as it was, I probably got to sleep about 3:30 and got up at 9."
"I think they threw every single guy they had at me last night. Every time I touched the ball I had guys all over me. ... UCLA did a lot of double-teams. When that happens, I need to look for the open man quicker. They were real aggressive with their hands up. I had been doubled before. They did a good job rotating and cutting off the easy pass, but part of that is on me. I've got to get the ball out."
"He's a really good player. He's a big guy and really good. I had a mind-set I wanted to do a job on him and I worked hard."
"Part of it was we looked a little rusty, we made some simple mistakes, like passing the ball out of bounds. That led to some fast break points for them. You have to give credit to them. They did play good defense and did have good defensive pressure."
"That was a scheme to make someone else beat you. I tried to get the ball to the open man. In the second half, I kind of got out of rhythm and started forcing shots. ... I have to try to get in a better position early. ... Other guys are going to have to hit shots and I'm confident they can do that."
"I kind of got tripped up going up there, but I just turned and Chris beat his man. Chris made the play, I just gave him the ball."
"Chris beat his man. Chris made the play."
"This injury has put things in perspective for me. Sometimes you take things for granted like always being able to see perfectly. To go down with the eye injury was tough. It's nice to see again."

Custom Friends Groups Suggestion
Short, concise description of the idea
Custom group mass-editing feature to accommodate including new LJ friends into certain older filtered entries.
Full description of the idea
It would be nice in addition to the new custom friends group viewing if we could mass select several entries in a filter to make it available to an individual (as in one person) filter. I'm thinking providing a link to the feature, then putting check boxes beside each entry containing the first two lines of content (I don't know about other people, but I don't title every entry, and a lot of times my titles have nothing to do with the content).
- Like when we add a new LJ friend, but said something potentially offensive in a couple of entries in a particular filter that we want to put them into, we could still include them but hide offensive entries from them.
- Or if we have a new LJ friend and there several entries in a filter we want to make available to them, but not the whole filter, this feature would be really convenient.
- It won't be as tiresome as having to edit the filter for every entry like I do now.
- No one else might be wanting this feature?

Our bodies can be affected by everything we do in our daily lives. We can suffer symptoms of stress from our personal relationships, working in an uncomfortable environment, or being under pressure due to life's demands. Leading busy and rushed lives can lead to us feeling tired, exhausted, stressed and anxious.
These issues can sometimes cause us to become unbalanced and can induce energy blockages that can result in us feeling unwell and bring about any number of health conditions.
The aim of this complementary therapy is to establish the cause of your problem or ailment. It might originate from an internal or external source and the purpose of holistic massage is to rebalance the body.
A detailed health questionnaire will be completed at the first treatment session. This will look over every aspect of health, lifestyle and diet. This will also help determine any reasons why this treatment may not be suitable (contra-indications). All the information supplied will be treated in the strictest of confidence and will not be passed on to any other party.
From this, a tailored treatment to suit specific needs can be determined. Details of each treatment will be recorded.
After treatment, clients can feel relaxed, calm and energized. It is possible to feel lightheaded so the client will be encouraged to get up slowly and a glass of water will be provided.
A short consultation will be taken to find out how the treatment felt and some aftercare advice on general health and diet will be provided.
Each subsequent treatment will commence with a brief evaluation and update of progress.
There are many benefits from Holistic Massage, they include the following:
Improved Circulation: Improves blood flow and movement of nutrients and oxygen to the cells throughout the body and encourages the removal of toxins and waste from the cells.
Respiration: Reducing tensions in the chest, shoulders and back can assist removing congestion in the lungs, aiding respiratory conditions.
Pain Reduction: Stimulating the body to release natural painkillers into the brain and nervous system.
Muscles: Stretches and loosens muscle. This helps improve mobility reducing lactic acid and toxins, this consequently reduces stiffness and fatigue.
Anxiety and Stress Reduction: It is a very relaxing therapy and therefore reduces tension and the effects of stress. It relaxes the mind thereby reducing anxiety and its effects. It is also very soothing and comforting therefore lifts the spirits on an emotional level, increasing positive feelings
Energy: It is usual to feel more energetic after a treatment because tension is released and energy is flowing more freely.
Relaxation: Enables the body to work better as there are fewer demands on a relaxed body than that of a tense one. The release of muscular tension aids to unblock and balance the overall flow of energy throughout the body.
It is possible that some soreness might occur within the 48 hours after treatment. This is the muscles response to treatment and two or three subsequent massages may be required to enable your body to become more balanced.
It is not advisable to take alcohol or unprescribed drugs in the 24 hours before or after the massage takes place. It is possible that the liver and kidneys could be affected. The massage will aid these organs to release toxins and they will have more to cope with if there are substances in the system.
Some people with conditions such as cancer will need to obtain consent from their GP before any treatment can take place.

I have a system being installed with a master valve and 13 zones and gen2. In addition to the zones, I have 2 hose bibs installed without electronic valves. I can bypass the master valve if I want, so the system can control the zones while keeping the bins available at all times, but I'm trying to figure out how to put the electronic master valve in line. It's almost like I'd like to have it open when a zone comes on early morning then also have the master open from 8am to 10pm or whatever for normal day hours to allow the bibs to be used without an iPhone handy. Thoughts?
@prsguy, great question. The master valve is a device level setting; therefore it's on or off for all zones. You would need to enable it to provide water to your hose bibs without having access to the app.
If you install the master valve after the supply lines to the hose bibs, then you wouldn't need to worry about enabling the master valve to turn on the hose bibs from the app. Hopefully that makes sense. If needed, free feel to post a drawing of your new system's layout and we'd be happy to review it.
Best, Emil
We've got the same setup. What we did was take one of the unused zones and call it "Hose Bibb". You can then put it on a fixed schedule for the times you want it open (which will trigger the master valve to open). If I remember correctly, the other other schedules will run fine even if this schedule is running at the same time.
Emil/Stonecliff - thanks for the responses. There's pros and cons to everything of course…I wanted the bibs after the master valve to protect against them leaking as well. To Stonecliff's point, I thought of that, but didn't know if you could have simultaneous zones running. If you can, then that's a reasonable answer. Move the master wire to a zone spot and create a schedule for it that includes watering times and day time for bibs. Ideally, the software would be updated to allow me to keep the wire on master valve connector, but be able to create a schedule for the master valve to be open during the day. It would also open each time a zone fires up in the early AM (normal behavior now). Really it could simply work the way it does now, but allow for adding a schedule to the master valve for it to be open at certain times too.
I guess another question is…can I just set up a dummy zone with no connection and schedule it for 8am to 10pm during the day. If the master valve wire is on master valve connector, that should open it like any other zone. As long as the rachio doesn't sense the lack of wire on that zone and you can run simultaneous, this should work too. Re-reading, I believe this is what stonecliff meant.
Still - best answer is to allow scheduling of master valve in addition to it turning on when a zone comes on.
@stonecliff & @prsguy, this is a good work around. Just remember that the controller will think a valve is running this entire time so your gallon reports might be artificially inflated.
We only allow one schedule and one zone to run at a time to avoid scheduling collisions. This might have worked on your old timer
Valid concern.
You can do this now by creating two different schedules; 1) Zones & 2) Hose bibs
Yep, you can do this. We do not disable a zone if there's no wire in the terminal.
I'm not sure if I follow this statement as I believe the current logic of the Master Valve supports this. i.e. MV + Zone turn on at the same time (if MV is enabled).
It sounds like the zone hack will get you by, but is less than perfect. If two schedules or zones can't run at once, then I wouldn't be able to ad hoc run a zone during the day if it's 'hose bib' time.
In my case, the best solution would be to have the master valve open if closed any time a zone turns on (normal behavior), but also allow me to create a special schedule for the master valve (Separate from zone schedules) that allows me to have it open from 8am-10pm (or whatever) when I may want to use the hose bibs. Zones should be able to be run at any time independent of the master valve schedule…the SW will just have to realize the master valve is open already when it is and open it when it's not to run the zone.
@prsguy, backing up, will the hose bibs be opened electronically or manually by hand? I think I remember you mentioning I have 2 hose bibs installed without electronic valves. – if so, then you can manually open the hose bibs anytime a zone is scheduled to run as they will be pressurized by the enabled master valve for said active scheduled zone.
If you have an unused zone terminal, you can create a fake "hose bib" zone and run this schedule during the day while no other zones are scheduled to run.
Currently, this is not supported on the Rachio controller as the master valve setting is a global device (controller) setting. Supporting MV by zone is in our backlog, but I do not know when/if it will get developed.
I understand what you are saying…that's why it's less than ideal. I don't want the fact that the master valve "zone" is on to keep me from running other zones. If my family decides to turn on a bib (yes it's manual), then I don't want to tell them to make sure they have an iphone handy. Likewise, if I want to run a zone during the day for whatever reason, I don't want to have to disable the "hose bib master valve" zone. I don't think your last comment about MV by zone is what I'm asking for. I'm simply saying it would be nice to add the ability to tell the controller to keep the master valve open during certain hours of the day…in addition to opening as zones are run.
@prsguy, I think we're thinking the same end result.
I don't believe we'd encounter any conflicts in scheduling logic. Since the MV is a global device setting, it will always be on anytime a schedule is running (or off if no schedules are running).
Please see the diagrams below. A green circle indicates a valve is on, black line indicates there's no water available, and a blue line indicates water is flowing (or available to flow):
ON (MV enabled and Z1 running)
OFF (MV enabled and no zones running)
Application to your system:
If you had a lawn schedule set to run from 5a-7a, then the MV would turn on with each zone valve. The hose bibs would pressurized the entire time from 5a-7a.
If you setup a fake hose bib on an unused zone terminal, the schedule to run from 8a-6p, the MV would turn on to pressurize the hose bibs during said time, but no water would be used unless a hose bib was turned.
Hopefully this helps to clarify the system status between MV and zone activity.

For the past three months, I've been driving through various parts of Florida witnessing events and gatherings of communities committed to creating safe, loving, trauma informed, and trauma healing spaces.
On Friday February 22nd, I was in Tarpon Springs, attending the monthly gathering of Robin Saeger's Peace4Tarpon Community, the first trauma informed community in the country (see: https://youtu.be/7Oyv8Vr4hJQ). Robin invited me to talk about trauma informed collaborations in Broward County, Florida. I used the time I was given to talk about root causes of domestic violence and the need for a more comprehensive prevention approach to the problem using information from a study that my colleague and friend Tia Martinez and her partner Arnold L. Chandler were commissioned to do by Blue Shield of California (see: https://blueshieldcafoundation...CourseFramework.pdf.)
Sunday March 10th, I was in Sarasota at the invitation of Dr. Andy Blanch. Andy and a group of her colleagues invited people from the community to explore ways to make Sarasota a trauma informed community. Over 120 people gathered at Sarasota's Selby library to engage in conversation, learn more about the connection between adversity and health and social outcomes, as well as to brainstorm ideas on how making this understanding the foundation of their actions could move them toward becoming a healthier, stronger and more equitable community.. Sitting next to me at the event was Helen Neal-Ali, the author of O.K. Forever: A Book of Hope. I have since read this powerful memoir that details her life and experiences as a victim and survivor of domestic violence.
On Wednesday April 3rd, I found myself in Central Florida with a standing-room-only crowd of over 550 attendees listening to Dr. Vincent Felitti deliver a morning keynote address detailing the findings of the CDC-Kaiser Permanente Adverse Childhood Experiences Study (ACE Study). The event was titled "Creating a Resilient Community: From Trauma to Healing." It was spearheaded by Rachel Allen, director of the Peace and Justice Institute and presented by the Peace and Justice Institute of Valencia College, the Early Learning Coalition of Orange County, and the Florida Department of Health Orange County.
My colleague and friend, Carey Sipp, the Southeastern Regional Community Facilitator for ACEs Connection, was responsible for my attendance. She shared a photo I sent her of the attendees raising yellow "Visions & Commitments" cards. In the afternoon conference participants were given an opportunity to talk with their table partners and as a result of that conversation identify an action that they were personally willing to take to address adverse experiences in our communities. (see https://www.acesconnection.com...st-annual-conference).
It was great to see this sea of yellow cards in the air. I felt inspired and filled with hope. The awareness that a door opened, that people are hungry for healing, hungry for love, was tangible. Now, more than ever, there is a critical mass of people who feel a common mutuality, who sense their interrelatedness. These people got what Martin Luther King, Jr. so beautifully expressed when he said, "All men are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be, and you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be."
But…what about those people who are not in the room? Those people who are never at the table? Those people who for various reasons are unable to attend these gatherings or conferences? Who don't even have the money to pay for a bus pass let alone the conference fee? Those people who don't feel like they matter, who can't sense that they have worth and value? What about those people who feel they are cut off from themselves and others because they are experiencing the staggering effects of trauma in nearly every aspect of their lives? Who don't have access to the tools, practices, or skills to deal with their trauma? What about them?
Since May of 2018, Tommy Loper, an Aspen colleague and managing director of The Resnick Aspen Action Forum, has been working on a project named Weave: The Social Fabric Project with David Brooks, author and columnist for the New York Times. This project started with the idea that social fragmentation—isolation, alienation, and division—is the central problem of our time. As I understand it through the experiences that Loper, Brooks and all those involved with Weave the Social Fabric Project have had they've come to see that programs don't turn around lives. What turns lives around are relationships.
Loper and Brooks also discovered:
· Those who've experienced the greatest suffering offer the most insight
· What it takes to make peace within has a lot to do with what a person feels they have to offer to others
· Every individual matters—especially those who are not "in the room"
(See https://www.aspeninstitute.org...ial-fabric-project/.)
What Weave the Social Fabric Project has recognized is good news! Now that there is greater understanding about trauma, an appetite exists to deal with it in new ways, and everyone is part of this progress. A healing of hearts is happening in individuals, in the hearts of communities, and in all societies on Earth.
Each person is unique and every situation is different, yet healing begins with the transformation of relationships. The difficult work of rigorous "truth-telling" is required—done with diplomacy and love—as well as an ethic that respects the dignity of each soul, each human spirit. The management of inner experiences in the midst of conflict, and the understanding of how everyone is capable of causing harm and experiencing it (this understanding comes about through the sharing of personal story with one or more compassionate witnesses) is what leads to humanity's ability to create a better existence.
Rumi wrote: "Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself."
I believe that the ability to listen to and to tell a personal story leads to the greatest kind of healing. Here are some examples:

Laurie's Story from Tarpon Spring
Laurie, a clinical director at a behavioral health center, attended the monthly gathering. She participated in a five-minute "enlightened witness" exercise I led. The exercise requires working with a partner to maintain direct eye contact without speaking. Laurie told me that the person she was paired with was uncomfortable, and it made her aware of how who she is and how she shows up played a part in the experience. The therapist part of Laurie was trained to help people, but this exercise brought her insight as to how others may experience her "help." Being good at counseling requires the ability to see everything that is going on with the other person, even when there are thoughts and emotions that are difficult to see.
So when Laurie told me this, "I wanted to relieve her discomfort, but I also thought it was ok for her to be uncomfortable. The exercise only lasted five minutes, and I know that many people are uncomfortable in their skin all day, everyday" I thought, "YES" many people are uncomfortable all day everyday, and we can help relieve that simply by being present and still."
Laurie shared that when she was in graduate school she had to pick an area of concentration for study. She was given the choices of family work, substance abuse counseling, or vocational rehabilitation. She didn't want to do substance abuse work because it was an issue in her family and her own judgments about it made her avoid the choice.
Over time, what Laurie realized is that all need for counseling relates to the human condition itself. What makes a good therapist—or person—is the willingness to see the human condition and the way it has manifested for each individual, then having a willingness to come into relationship with them. Laurie said, "It seems so simple but it's really very profound, and doesn't require a graduate degree."
Laurie's point was that you don't have to be a therapist to be therapeutic; you just need to meet people wherever they are in their lives or emotional situations, and be willing to offer your witness, compassion, and ability to listen. You, and most everyone else, have been taught that life is safer, that you are safer, when you look away.
Helen facilitates conversation
Helen's Story from Sarasota
Helen Neal-Ali was making Thanksgiving dinner when the phone rang. The caller was a friend of her husband's who told her that her husband was at a bar with another woman. Before that call, Helen's husband warned her to never go checking on him. Now, she was so upset she didn't care. She put barber's scissors in her purse, drove to the bar, and saw him kissing a woman they both knew. When her husband saw Helen, he turned to his friends and said, "Come on outside and watch me kick her ass."
They walked outside and he hit her. The rage over all the beatings she had experienced at his hands made her immune to the pain and she heard herself saying, "Is that the hardest you can hit?"
She punched him in the face then pulled out the scissors and stabbed him. She hit him again with her fist, stabbed him again, and hit him again until his friends pulled her away.
Things did not immediately change for Helen. In order to flee that abusive relationship, she moved to another state only return a year later when her father was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer and would have his leg amputated. Helen made the choice to move back and live with her parents.
A bit later, Helen met and married her second husband, a follower of Christ, who gave Helen her first child, a son. The pregnancy was the beginning of Helen's sobriety, but it also marked the end of her second marriage. With the idea that it takes three strikes to be counted out, she married a third time and had her second son with a man who abused her emotionally. Helen suffered a nervous breakdown.
Since the dissolution of those relationships, and with the support of caring individuals in her community, Helen did a great deal of personal work. She acquired tools, skills, and practices that led to a greater sense of self-awareness. She now shares her experiences by being a compassionate witness to others; she works as a personal and community empowerment trainer. One of Helen's principles is that "it is not what we go through in life that matters, it is how we react to what we go through that counts."
Creating A Resilient Community Conference
Yolanda's Story from Orlando
Yolanda has been on a path of healing for most of her life. She grew up in a family who's spiritual practice included the belief that the body was created to heal itself. Yolanda retired from a 30-year career in community and public health in 2004, during which, her focus was prevention, treatment and recovery. Yolanda was introduced to ACEs during her time in Public Health. The yellow card she raised stated her intention to continue using ACEs awareness in conjunction with her awareness of the traumas of racism, sexism, poverty and oppression which were not traumas included in the original study. Yolanda told me that being introduced to the work of Bryan Stevenson and his concept of healing through "Truth and Reconciliation", has shaped her work and use of ACEs. Bryan Stevenson is a lawyer, and is the founder and executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative in Montgomery, Alabama. Last year, Yolanda attended the opening of EJI's National Memorial for Peace and Justice, and The Legacy Museum: From Enslavement to Mass Incarceration, an experience that introduced her to the work of the Peace and Justice Institute of Valencia College. Yolanda is a Black woman, with ancestors who were enslaved Africans. Every generation of her family has worked and served and fought for and contributed to the building of this country, including its wealth, power and global positioning. A country that after several generations, became their home. An experienced she shares with millions of other descendants, who love this country, that does not love them back. Despite all of this, Yolanda holds hopes, as a global citizen, that every person, every living thing on Earth, will be given and have the same opportunity to thrive and obtain what they need to live their best life. She hopes that someday everyone will come to a place where they wish the best for everyone else.
By sharing the stories Laurie, Helen, and Yolanda told me, I want to demonstrate that every single person has something to give to another, that anyone can be an enlightened witness for another person, that every individual has the ability to give a sense of worth and value to someone in need. The intentions written on the yellow cards that were raised in Orlando each have the power to change lives.
Trauma information is good. The ACE Study was of tremendous value to the human race. But beyond those tools, humans needs to learn to love and accept others with an open heart, to forgive when necessary, and to practice mercy and compassion. Doing those things is what being "trauma informed" is about at its core.
This is where the science can be supported by spirituality.
Many, if not all people, have suffered at least one Adverse Childhood Experience. The science-based tools and practices for healing are great, but what is needed most for healing is the witness and compassion of another person who practices love, honor, compassion, and who demonstrates the discernment to know where and when boundaries must be created and respected. One caring person can change a life for the better, for it is in relationship when such change can happen.
The act of being a witness, and showing compassion, allows you to engage in healing yourself and others. Once you understand this, it becomes who you are, and it starts showing up in our shared culture.
Many people in our society are now trauma informed. The focus now should be to allow others to put what they know—as demonstrated on the yellow cards filled out by the participants of "Creating a Resilient Community: From Trauma to Healing" in Central Florida—into action.

Of course this isn't necessarily a guarantee, which is why Tinder has announced that they will be introducing a new feature called Swipe Surge that will let users know when it is the best time to start using the app. This feature is currently a test on iOS devices so not all users will see it yet, but presumably pending positive feedback it should eventually find its way to all devices.
According to Tinder, "During a Swipe Surge, activity is up to 15x higher! And with that many more people at the party, your match-making potential is increased by 250%, which means you'll also spark up a new convo with a cutie 33% faster — so keep your witty banter, and your phone charged."
Tinder adds, "A Swipe Surge can happen at anytime, so turn on your push notifications for real-time updates that will tell you when it's go-time. Next, just open Tinder, and settle in because the fun can last for minutes or hours. People who've already joined the Swipe Surge will jump to the front of the line, and we'll even show you who's currently active."
