Best Practices Question
What is the best way to move the KACE Software Deployment folder?
Our KACE Software Deployment folder is growing fast and i would need to move this folder to a new disk on the same Server.
What is the best way to this and what are the consequences?
All Answers
I assume you mean the folder of the replication share.
The way is easy.
1. Disable the replication share under Distribution|Replication
2. Copy the repl2-folder to the new location. (old: c:\replication\repl2 to new: d:\new_replication\repl2 for instance)
3. Make sure that the rights are set correctly.
4. Go into the replication share under Distribution|Replication. Change the Destination-Share (from old: c:\replication to new: d:\new_replication) and Download-Share (if the new share has another share name)
5. Enable the replication share.
6. (optional, since this is done automaticly regulary) Force an inventory of the repl share under Distribution|Replication
With the next inventory of the repl share the contents are verified and all agents start to get the packages without any problen.

Best uncensored news since Putin was exposed as _______________'s bitch. Listen, I can only speak for myself, but I'd bet sexually repressed, senile, and old white con men, like Trump, love for prostitutes to pee on them. Now the entire world knows about one of the games played at Trump's stag parties called, "O.P.P." May I explain what "O.P.P." stands for. The first two words are "Other People's," but for for sexually repressed, senile, and old white con men, like Trump, the last P stands for Pee. Listen, I ain't mad at Trump, who am I too judge, because I can't make this shit up! 😉
In response to being exposed of getting down with O.P.P. Trump's tough guy disappeared, and his bitch came out. Trump's supporters, bless their hearts, couldn't hold back their rage. They're angry at Trump, but take their frustrations out on a known scapegoat. It's redundant, but FOXNEWS peddles misognyistic and white supremacist beliefs in order to fulfill their high opinions of themselves. That, and for the sins they wished to conceal. One of FOXNEWS sins, is operating a brothel, while masquerading as a cable news channel. Sexually repressed, senile, and old white con men, feel un-apologetic about coercing some of their female employees into sex slaves. But, and here's the best part, FOXNEWS Sexual Predators, found a scapegoat. Fmr. President Bill Clinton was and still is a scapegoat. Oh, it gets better, because when FOXNEWS brothel was exposed, the response from our corporate news media was to ignore this sizzling, raunchy, explosive, deviant, sexual scandal, sent to us on a silver platter. Say what you want about Fmr. President Bill Clinton, but Trump has a pee stain on his entire face.
Can you imagine waking up this morning, knowing that you're aligned with a sexual predator who loves prostitutes to pee on him? Not only that, Putin has videotape of his behavior, so in response to Putin, Trump's tough guy disappears, and his bitch comes out. If you're an elected Republicans, you steer the conversation away from Trump is Putin's bitch, towards repealing Obamacare. If you're an owner of our corporate news media, you steer the conversation away from Trump is Putin's bitch, towards repealing Obamacare.
Check out this gem, Trump and his cabal are the arbitrators of what is, "Fake News." Well, isn't that special. They get the privilege, or should I say, because of white supremacy, Trump and his cabal get the privilege of arbitrating what is, "Fake News." Now folks, Trump and his cabal love prostitutes to pee on them, but want us to take their word on what is, "Fake News." But it's only, "Fake News," if it exposing Trump's deviant sexual behavior.

In compromise, legislators limit cuts to UM System and MU
Tuition across the UM System will not increase for the 2016–17 school year.
Apr. 21, 2016
Missouri legislators agreed Wednesday in a conference committee to forgo any budget cuts to MU and limit a cut to the UM System to $3.8 million.
Drawing close to their deadline of passing the fiscal year 2017 budget, legislators have been debating in recent months what to cut from the UM System budget, considering at one point cutting $7.6 from administration and $1 million from MU.
Now, the system administration will receive a $3.8 million cut and MU will have no cut. The university system will also receive a 4 percent increase for performance-based funding, a compromise between the 6 percent increase that all other state-funded universities are receiving and a House-approved 2 percent increase.
The committee also decided to no longer require a tuition freeze. Despite this, presidents and chancellors from the 13 state-funded campuses met last week and agreed to not seek a tuition increase because of the performance-based funding increase. UM System spokesman John Fougere confirmed that the UM System's tuition will not increase next year, but he said a date has not yet been set for the Board of Curators to approve tuition.
Altogether, MU and MU Extension will receive a combined $218 million for fiscal year 2017 compared to fiscal year 2016's budget of $220 million.
In a statement following the conference, interim UM System President Mike Middleton said he was pleased with the budget, according to the Columbia Missourian.
"We deeply appreciate that the legislative conference committees appropriated $17.12 million for our performance funding, allowing the university to continue the invaluable service we have been providing unabated to the state in terms of education, research and economic development for decades," Middleton said in the statement.
Middleton also said the $3.8 million cut from the administrative budget means that "much work remains to restore confidence and trust in our leadership, which we will continue to do by being completely transparent, accountable and fiscally responsible in our actions."
In the budget, $750,000 is allotted to an oversight commission to independently examine the UM System's structure, proposed by Sen. Kurt Schaefer, R-Columbia. The resolution has not been passed by the House yet.
Despite the lack of cuts by the legislature to MU, the campus is still making budget cuts of its own due to a $32 million shortfall. The decrease in funds comes from a projected drop in enrollment of 1,500 students for fall 2016.

Should Young Women Sell Their Eggs?October 21, 2016
Justine Griffin was 25 when she submitted an application to donate her eggs to a fertility clinic in Florida, detailing everything about herself from her appearance to her SAT scores. An infertile couple liked what they saw on paper and Ms. Griffin was notified that they wanted to buy her eggs.
That was the easy part. For three weeks in 2013, Ms. Griffin underwent physical and psychological tests, injected herself with hormones to stimulate her egg production and then had five eggs harvested through a surgical procedure. She was paid $5,000 for her eggs. Ms. Griffin, then a reporter for The Sarasota Herald Tribune, chronicled the experience for the newspaper in a series called "The Cost of Life."
While both men and women in their 20s may be tempted to sell or donate their genetic material to make money or simply for altruistic reasons, the decision is not merely a financial transaction. For both sexes there are ethical factors. But for a woman the stakes are higher because a decision to sell her eggs may pose both short- and long-term health risks.

What will be the impact of Brexit on the fine art market?POSTED ON August 20, 2017 BY Art Lover
Whilst the UK and EU wrangle to find a workable agreement for Brexit, the art world looks for solutions. In a world where the situation is yet unclear, galleries, museums and curators are turning to industry insiders within the art world to help them understand what they will need to do in the event of a no deal scenario.
Arts Council England publishes advice on a no deal Brexit
On 23 January, the Art Newspaper reported on the advice provided by the Arts Council, should a no deal situation arise. The Arts Council advice recommends that arts and cultural organisations should prepare for a no deal scenario. In this eventuality the Arts Council foresees delays to shipping and customs processing for the six months following the UK leaving the EU – in the event of a no deal scenario.
European Registrars Conference Brexit Update
On 21 December, the UK Registrars Group posted an update on how a no deal would impact customs and transportation of fine art between the UK and the EU. The article, produced following the European Registrars Conference, identified some key areas of consideration, including:
VAT and Duties are expected to be subject to change. Whilst it was expected that the National Import Reliefs Unit (NIRU) system of tax and duty reliefs for temporary imports for exhibition is believed to be retained, the discussion advised that "museums who are not NIRU registered or who import acquisitions outright may need to take this into consideration in budget planning."
Export licences such as Open Individual Export Licence (OIEL) and Open General Export Licence (OGEL) will remain constant, but there will be subject to checks at borders.
One area that remains to be clarified was indemnity and it's impact on fine art. From an art shippers perspective, we are monitoring this from the point of view of how to ensure continuity of coverage between the UK and EU.
Momentous Brexit Planning
As we stand today, there is no clear understanding if we are going to have a deal or no deal for Brexit. As part of AGM Group, the business is keeping a focus on three areas:
- Freight and customs
- Indemnity
Important: Please note that article has been posted based on what we understand at the point of writing. This article should not be used as advice. Always consult with your fine art moving consultant for the most up to date information before moving works.


text: News Murkomen wants Tuju fired for barring DP Ruto from accessing Jubilee Headquarters Published 4 weeks ago on October 3, 2020 By KSN Reporter Facebook0Tweet0Pin0 BY KEVIN KOECH Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has challenged President Uhuru Kenyatta to fire Jubilee party Secretary-General Raphael Tuju and Vice-Chairman David Murathe so that he can prove to his party members he means business. For quite some time there has been an unending fight inside the Jubilee party which has been now divided into two; Tanga Tanga and Kieleweke, with legislators allying themselves with President Uhuru while others with his deputy William Ruto. The Senator wondered who Tuju was speaking for with President Uhuru Kenyatta claiming to be trying to unite the country. He went on to challenge him to first start uniting his party before preaching about uniting Kenya. "And whose job is Tuju? Who is he speaking for? President talked of unifying the country, if you want to preach the gospel of uniting Kenya, start by uniting Jubilee Party. "Fire Tuju and Murathe so that we know you mean it but not if we have divisive elements within Jubilee who talk about Ruto, disrespecting the office of deputy president," he said. The vocal legislature went on to tell off Tuju over the threats of removing Ruto as the party's second in command stating that he holds an office because they campaigned and won their respective seats. He added that Jubilee members will continue using the party's headquarters as long as their money is being used to fund it. "We want to tell Tuju, we were elected to become members of Jubilee. We campaigned so that you become relevant to hold that office. "You cannot tell us we cannot meet in that office, we shall be in that office so long as our money is being used to fund it. We will not accept projects to be brought to become candidates for the sake of other people," he added. Murkomen's statement comes after Tuju disclosed that DP Ruto attempted to grab power and the party had initiated the process of kicking him out and had banned him from accessing the offices.

In the results announced by National Electoral Commission chairman Judge Semitocles Kaijage in Dar es salaam on Friday, President Magufuli emerged the winner with 12,516, 252 of the total votes cast in the polls held on October 28. His closest contender Tundu Lisu garnered 1,933,271 of the total voted cast. President Magufuli will be awarded the winner's certificate on November 1 in Dodoma at the National Electoral Commission's headquarters. With the landslide victory in the October 28 polls, the president will go into his second term after improving his 2015 victory margin by 3,633,317 votes. In 2015, he won the presidential poll by 58.46 percent of the total votes cast after garnering 882935 votes. He beat his closest challenger Edward Lowassa who garnered 6,072,848 votes. On Thursday, Tanzania's main opposition presidential candidate Lissu rejected the results of the vote, terming it a fraud. At a press conference in Dar es Salaam, Lissu, who ran on the Chama Cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema), said the figures being announced by the National Electoral Commission could not be verified. "We do not recognise what happened yesterday (Wednesday) … because it was marred by irregularities in all stages. Lissu said his party would not accept any results from the polls and called on the masses to "take the matter in their own hands" by engaging in peaceful demonstrations. Preliminary results showed incumbent John Magufuli was ahead of the pack as stations kept sending in their data. In some stations, Magufuli got nearly five times the vote compared to the total garnered by all the other 14 presidential contenders. But Chadema and several other opposition politicians said the vote had been rigged in favour of the ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi. Zitto Kabwe, the party leader of ACT-Wazalendo, another opposition party, said the elections had confirmed Tanzania's growth into a dictatorship.

According to Jalang'o, the contact person for the Lewa hit-makers had only booked one person for the interview and that's Mejja but unfortunately they showed up at Kiss 100 studios without him.

Work still to be done on EU trade deal: experts
The EU Vietnam Free Trade Agreement EVFTA set to be signed next year will benefit both sides a workshop heard in Ho Chi Minh City on November 28
"The EU is a very important partner with significant impacts on the development of Vietnam," said former trade minister Truong Dinh Tuyen.
"The EVFTA has become more important to the country after the US's withdrawal from the TPP," he noted.
Phan Duc Hieu, deputy director of the Central Institute for Economic Management, said the EVFTA negotiations were concluded in 2015, and this is the time for a general review and assessment of the deal.
Dr Claudio Dordi, team leader of the European Trade Policy and Investment Support Project (EU-MUTRAP), said: "There is still a lot of work to be done in Europe" due to several reasons.
Firstly, trade agreements and trade negotiations are not really popular in western countries now, especially with US President Donald Trump's policies creating uncertainties in global trade, he said.
Secondly, after a lot of jobs were lost in Europe to the economic downturn, EU countries are fearful of competition from others, he said.
Thirdly, Europe prefers to deal with countries that have a level playing field, he said.
Besides, there are several issues related to sustainable development that need further assessment, but the two sides are working very hard to sign the agreement as early as next summer (around July or August), he added.
Once the agreement comes into effect, the EU will remove all import taxes on Vietnamese goods within seven years, while Vietnam will do so within 10 years.
This means many of Vietnam's main export products will be able to enter the EU completely without tariffs, and experts said this would be a huge boost to the country's exports to the EU.
According to a study by EU-MUTRAP, the EVFTA can boost Vietnam's GDP by US$3.2 billion by 2020 and US$7.2 billion by 2030.
Its exports to the EU will rise to US$42 billion by 2025 and US$47 billion by 2030.
Fifty percent of the tariff lines on aquatic products will be removed right after the FTA takes effect.
There will be no tax on rice (with a quota of 20,000-30,000 tonnes a year).
Goods like coffee, pepper, cashew, honey, fresh vegetables, fruits and their processed products or juice will also see tariffs removed instantly. They attract rather high tariffs at the moment of up to 20% on some items.
Apparel and footwear are two of Vietnam's major export items to the EU, with shipments of US$3.5 billion and US$4 billion a year.
They will see tariffs cut after the FTA takes effect. Wood and wood products, computers and electronic products and components will also see rates cut.
Despite the tax breaks, the EU is a very demanding market in terms of quality, food hygiene and safety standards and protection of consumer rights.
Therefore, Vietnamese businesses must first upgrade their value chain and play by the rules of the EU, especially with respect to those on origin, experts warned.
"EVFTA will provide a lot of important opportunities for Vietnamese business, but of course they should be able to exploit them," Dr Dordi said.
He said Vietnamese businesses usually focus on the last part of production which has very little value. For example, if Vietnam produces garments from home-made fabrics rather than from imports, it would benefits more from the EVFTA, he said.
"In general, many key export sectors such as footwear, textiles and garments, fisheries, wood and wooden products are growing at slow speeds because most of the production in these sectors is based on low value-added stage of production."
They should upgrade their value chain and start more "made in Vietnam" manufacturing, improve their capacity to produce processed foods and high value-added products to take full advantage of the EVFTA, he added.
The workshop was held to discuss the potential impacts of the EVFTA.
The EU is an economic union consisting of 28 member states and a population of 508 million, with a total GDP of US$18 trillion, making it the largest single market in the world.
It is one of Vietnam's leading trade partners, accounting for 19% of the country's exports.
Vietnam-EU exports were worth US$20.6 billion in 2015.

New life is being breathed into a historic building near Dalbeattie.
Old Buittle Tower was in the news last year after owner Jeffrey Burn was jailed for 18 months for defrauding the taxman of nearly £80,000 in VAT.
It is now owned by cousins Tobias Parker and James Cavendish and they recently launched Buittle Craft Guild which features traditional crafts and letter-press printing.
More than 100 people visited to find out more about the venture, which also involves Kim and George Lowe who used to run The Working Print studio in Kirkcudbright.
The tower was built in the 15th century for the Gordons of Lochinvar. The site and ruined castle were once home to Lady Devorgilla and the Scottish king John Balliol.
Tobias said: "We demonstrated the old printing equipment and people were able to enjoy tea and see the restoration of the castle. They were also able to go on tours of the chapel.
"It is a joint enterprise between us and Kim who we got to know after we moved from America.
"My cousin and I are priests and are looking to create a religious comm-unity as well as carry out restoration on the castle."

Carbonated water machines
Correct Antifreeze Keeps The Water Coming from Freezing At Lower Temperatures. But Have you any idea Why Else
After you turn on your car or truck the engine heats up and continues to produce temperature until you shut that back off. The temperatures could possibly get so high that your serp would be destroyed if there was no way for cooling it down often.
The cooling system inside your vehicle is a bunch of parts put together for no other reason rather than to keep a coolant becoming more common around your motor so that it doesnt extreme heat and stop running or even break. The parts in this system are the rad hoses thermostat water pump motor fan and enthusiast switch.
Perhaps the crucial part is the liquid in which flows through it all. Water is used since it picks up the heat very well as it circulates around the engine in the tubes and dissipates of which same heat equally efficiently when it reaches this radiator. Carbonated water machines But it can not be used alone and thats the place that the antifreeze comes in.
Antifreeze Products Reduce The Freezing Position Raise The Boiling Point Protect From Corrosives In addition to Lubricate.
The most obvious use of antifreeze is usually to lower the very cold point of normal water so that the vehicle can be used in temperatures beneath the normal freezing position. This protects this radiator and other parts from cracking open from the pressure of snow forming and expanding.
Antifreeze also raises the boiling hot point of the water. This is important to lessen the probability of overheating. When the drinking water is circulating throughout the engine uniformly space meaning that there are no atmosphere spaces in the hoses – it is regularly absorbing heat bicycling around to be refrigerated off in the rad and going back to gather more. If the normal water boils it creates steam which is essentially an air pocket. This area is no longer carrying the heat absent and so causes the overheating at this point because doing so gets way sexier. The water contacting that next boils repeat the process and soon it is overheated. Which has a higher boiling level helps prevent this.
Heating up also occurs when your coolant level gets lacking so there are anticorrosives added which protect the actual metals from getting eaten away and springing leaks. Updating a water send can be expensive and so lubricants are also combined with help keep parts from wearing out so fast.
What Kind Of Antifreeze Should You Get And the way Much Should You Employ
When choosing an antifreeze read the label Is it just about all additive or is it a mix Some antifreeze backpacks are already diluted 5050 — the additive and water – therefore you could just top off the radiator from all of these. However some antifreeze is definitely straight additive. If thats the case you would NOT fill up ones radiator with that. Exactly whyThe boiling point would become overly high and could end up overheating your serp before you even realize what on earth is happening because most applications arent meant to function that hot. It is suggested to never go higher than a 7030 coolant to water mixture.
How can you know if there is the right combination of chemical and water for ones climate A mechanic for your local garage can do a quick check for you or you can examine it with test out strips available now. Just make sure you read the guidelines and know what this strip results symbolize – and then discover how to adjust the mix for maximum protection.
Paying attention to your current radiators needs when it comes to antifreeze you will save from an heating up vehicle which is particularly significant in the winter time Carbonated water machines We occassionally all have leaky faucets that lead to be able to annoying sounds within night like water flowing down the drain. Typically once taps reduction is because of worn units or O-ring. These failures are relatively easy to eliminate in some cases simply because householders can replace gaskets or maybe O-ring or simply tighten the particular screws to repair this leak.
Other times this leaky faucets may need a fix. There are numerous various styles of sinks can vary widely but you are all points that will be replaced. You may transform the valve may well need to do to purchase a brand new faucet kit. The sets are easier to install instead of purchase the pieces 1 at a time.
When you deploy the kit have to be off the water tap into that may be usually underneath the sink inside basement or maybe whatever.
After the interruption of water encounter and tighten the actual nuts are on surface of tap water in previous taps to ease the nuts and then pull up rooster. Whenever you ingest component on the pot it can benefit you to bear in mind with the arrangement associated with parts.
When the outdated faucet is removed lovely install the new tap. Ensure the nuts tend to be tightened over a faucet just before putting h2o pipes.

Biographical entry Simmons, Roy Thomas (1906 - 1975)
- Born
- 29 April 1906
Heidelberg, Victoria, Australia
- Died
- 28 February 1975
East Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
- Occupation
- Biochemist
Roy Thomas Simmons was Consultant Serologist (Prinicipal Scientific Officer) at the Commonwealth Serum Laboratory (CSL) in Victoria from 1961 to 1971. He started there as a temporary laboratory assistant in 1924. From 1927 to 1935 Simmons was seconded to the Commonwealth Department of Health as a relieving biochemist. While at CSL he worked mainly on blood groups and the Rh factor. His work made an outstanding contribution to the safety of blood transfusion in Australia, and the detection and understanding of Rh sensitisation, especially in relation to haemolytic disease of the newborn. He also used blood groups for anthropological studies, including collaborating with D. Carleton Gajdusek in 1955 on studies of a central nervous system disorder of the Fore people of New Guinea. Gajdusek concluded that it was transmitted by the ritualistic eating of the brains of deceased tribal members.
Skip to
After graduating from the Junior School of the Working Men's College (1923circa), Roy Thomas Simmons enrolled in a Diploma of Chemistry. He graduated in 1926 and became an Associate of the Working Men's College in Inorganic Chemistry. While undertaking his studies, Simmons began working as a temporary laboratory assistant at the Commonwealth Serum Laboratory (CSL) in 1924. He remained with CSL until his retirement in 1971. By 1927 he had increased his knowledge of biochemistry and bacteriology to such an extent that he was seconded to the Commonwealth Department of Health as a relieving biochemist controlling diagnostic procedures throughout Australia.
Simmons returned to the CSL in 1936 to help establish a Research Department there in which he was appointed personal assistant and biochemist to the Director of Research. Simmons became the first person in the world to isolate bacteriophages against diphtheria microbes, thus instigating work on the first vaccine. He also worked on other illnesses such as whooping cough, but by the early1940s his main interest was in blood groups. Roy Simmons was the first in Australia to discover the significance of the Rh factor and introduced the exchange blood transfusion technique to fight haemolytic disease in the newborn.
From 1943 to 1971 Roy Simmons headed the free, nationwide blood group reference service of CSL. This work was invaluable to hospitals in screening patients and trying to find compatible blood donors. The blood group laboratory produced work of such high quality that in 1965 the World Health Organisation chose it to be the testing laboratory of the entire South-Pacific region.
Overall the work of Roy Thomas Simmons and his collaborators helped dispel many myths and produce new vaccines and treatment regimes. One of his greatest contributions was the Anti-Rh agent which has helped prevent many deaths of Rh-positive babies carried by Rh-negative mothers (the mother's immune system sees the baby's Rh+ blood as foreign and a danger so initiates an immune reaction to kill of the perceived 'threat').

I'm at the Australasian Victorian Studies Association Conference in Brisbane for the next couple of days.I'm delivering a paper about Nesbit's use of biblical imagery and ecclesiastical vocabularies. There are lots of great papers slated for AVSA, so if the Victorian era is your deal, take a look at the full schedule and abstracts. I'm looking forward to getting to know some scholars from the Australasian region who are interested in the time period i've spent the last five years working on!
I'm also excited to visit Griffith University for the first time. The campus houses both the Queensland Conservatorium and the Queensland College of Art. The Conservatorium is next to the Queensland Performing Arts Complex at the western end of the Southbank parklands. The State Library of Queensland, the Queensland Museum and the Gallery of Modern Art are all at this end of the parklands. Hopefully, I'll also get some time in the museums in the midst of conferencing and spending some quality time with some family.
For those that might be interested, here is the abstract for my paper:
The Function of Biblical and Ecclesiastical Vocabularies in E.Nesbit's Poetry
Anna M Blanch
University of St Andrews, Scotland
Although E. Nesbit (1858-1924) is best known as a pioneer of fantasy literature for children, her work also includes novels for adults, public lectures, short pieces in Victorian periodicals, and over a dozen collections of poetry. Through an examination of Songs of Love and Empire (1898) and Ballads and Lyrics of Socialism (1908) this paper will consider Nesbit's appropriation of vocabulary and imagery usually associated with worship or religious and devotional practice for political ends, specifically the promotion of the Fabian Socialist cause. This paper will offer a reading that reconciles Nesbit's recourse to biblical imagery and ecclesiastical vocabularies with prevailing scholarship, which has dismissed her poetry as socialist propaganda. In light of her repurposing of potent religious metaphors and Victorian ecclesiastical vocabularies, this paper will argue that consideration of theological and religious elements in her fiction and poetry is long overdue.

Here's what Greeley did with roads in 2018 — and what's next for 2019
February 21, 2019
More than three years into a Greeley tax initiative designed to help the city maintain 379 miles of roads, public works officials made a push into neighborhoods, completed two out of three road widening projects, paved 18,201 linear feet of sidewalks and replaced the surface of 14 miles of roads.
As part of the Keep Greeley Moving initiative, the city is starting to see an uptick in the quality of streets. Greeley's pavement quality index — the tool the city uses to determine the quality of its streets on a scale of zero to 100 — shows that the average quality index is 64, up from 63 in 2017.
For the city, though, the roads are still far from the goal they're trying to reach by 2022, when the tax sunsets.
That goal? Make sure 90 percent of the city's streets have a quality index of 65 or higher. Right now, 51 percent of the roads are at that level.
Public works officials estimate 61 miles of roads will need a complete asphalt overlay at a cost of $34 million, according to an annual Keep Greeley Moving report released by the city. Another 125 miles are on the verge of needing an overlay and officials expect it to cost $66.8 million.
Funding breakdown
• Annual budget: $16.8 million
• Road capacity and widening: $3.6 million
• Neighborhood roads: $7.2 million
• Collector and arterial road maintenance: $4.2 million
• Concrete maintenance: $1.8 million
Joel Hemesath, the director of Greeley's public works department, said that because road maintenance is continuous, voters will have a say in road maintenance again before the tax sunsets.
"With infrastructure, it lasts forever. We can't just someday stop taking care of roads," Hemesath said. "We'll have to keep going back, and we're fine with that cycle. It gives voters a chance to weigh in and make sure we're doing our job."
The tax, first approved by voters in 2015 and reauthorized in 2017 to allow the city to use excess revenue, generates $14.2 million each year for the city. Officials also put $2.6 million of a tax on food toward roads.
Widening roads
When voters approved the Keep Greeley Moving tax initiative in 2015, city officials had their eyes on three major roads that needed to be wider to accommodate a growing population in Greeley. Now that the city has tackled three full years of work, two roads — 20th Street and 71st Avenue — are finished.
Next, a $9 million project to widen 35th Avenue from 4th Street to F Street will get underway this year with design. Officials anticipate that it will be complete in 2021.
Combined, all of the projects cost $24 million.
For the city, most of the streets have a major factor in common: They were built as small, rural county roads. The city's $9 million 71st Avenue project, for instance, transformed a two-lane road to a street with center and right turn lanes, bike paths and detached sidewalks. The city also replaced the Sheep Draw Bridge, which was the city's worst bridge structurally before construction started. Before it was replaced, it was too small to let floodwaters flow underneath, and asphalt was falling through the surface in places.
Now, officials expect the bridge to last for decades, and they're confident that it could handle a 100-year flood.
As officials look toward the 35th Avenue expansion, they're planning to make the street wider, adding bike lanes, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, landscaped medians and a traffic signal at C Street. Currently, the road is two lanes and has limited right-turn lanes according to the report. It also doesn't have sidewalks — something residents in the area have long requested from the city.
Collector and arterial roads
When voters authorized the Keep Greeley Moving tax the first time, the public works department knew of 10 heavily traveled streets the city needed to address with overlays, a treatment that places a new surface over existing streets. Later, with more funding, officials added more streets to their workload. The city expects to put a total of $7.2 million toward these projects.
In 2018, the city completed work on Reservoir Road between 15th Avenue and 23rd Avenue for $718,000, 28th Street from Reservoir Road to 27th Street for $254,525 and 29th Street from 35th Avenue to 27th Avenue for $635,250.
This year, the city will move onto a $270,240 project along 7th Avenue from 13th Street to 18th Street and a $1.1 million overlay project on 47th Avenue from 10th Street to 20th Street.
Neighborhood maintenance
During the course of seven years, the public works department will address 37 miles of neighborhood roads with overlays. When the city introduced the tax to voters, officials picked out eight neighborhoods with the worst road conditions: Cascade Park, Clayton, Cranford, downtown, Glenmere, Maplewood, Rolling Hills and Sunrise.
Hemesath said that before the tax, the city put money toward busier roads, neglecting neighborhoods — two-thirds of the city's street system.
"To actually start getting a good jump on those and seeing some improvements, I think, has been really satisfying," he said.
For the city, though, the work will just scratch the surface of the city's 243 miles of local streets. More than 48 miles of neighborhood roads need complete overlays, according to the report.
The year, the city plans to focus on downtown Greeley and, to the east, the city's Sunrise neighborhood.
The public works department plans to address more local roads when the city has access to more funding, according to the report.
Repairing concrete
In 2018 — three years after the city took on the responsibility of maintaining Greeley's 700 miles of curbs, gutters and sidewalks — workers replaced 18,201 linear feet of sidewalks as crews worked on overlay projects.
Right now, the city has 281 requests on file from residents — a total of $1.8 million in repairs for sidewalks in neighborhoods. Officials also have a 27-mile backlog for maintenance of concrete in Keep Greeley Moving neighborhoods — the same streets the city plans to address with overlays. This year, the city plans to address sidewalks in the Sunrise neighborhood at the same time they complete overlays.

Deep abdominal massage, also known as colon massage or internal organ massage is a fantastic treatment that focuses on the metabolic and energetic functions of the abdomen to release trapped gases, blockages and waste products. It has a great number of benefits. The abdomen is the softest, least-protected area of the body, therefore, an area of great vulnerability and is a very important part of the body. For adults as well as for infants and young children, massaging the abdominal promotes digestion, alleviates gastric upsets, soothes the nerves related to the area of massage, and benefits the organs that are interconnected with the stomach as well as the intestinal tract. Abdominal massage helps to detoxify and strengthen the lower abdomen and is particularly useful for relaxing tension in the abdomen and promoting blood flow.
The abdomen houses vital organs and is a very important part of the body. The abdominal cavity comprises of the stomach, diaphragm, colon, small intestine, liver, pancreas, and gall bladder. The health of the abdomen lies with the stomach, the digestion process and reproductive organs.
When the digestion process is inhibited due to illness, malabsorption or inactivity due to a stagnant lifestyle the abdomen undergoes immense stress from the muscles and the well-connected fascia network that hold the organs within the abdominal cavity. Such stress in the abdominal area may lead to pain in the sides, lower back pain, inguinal and joint pain at the pelvis. Sometimes, even the ribs may get affected.
Other problems related to the abdomen include: abdominal disorders like IBS (Crone's or Ulcerative Colitis), spastic colon, chronic constipation, dislocation of female reproductive organs and problems caused by dislocation such as miscarriages, infections, premature birth, weak new-borns, backache, difficult menopause etc.
Hence, the abdominal massage is highly effective remedy in removing obstructions, correcting dislocations and restoring the harmonious flow.
Abdomen massage helps open the abdominal cavity and release the fascia so the organs can lay unrestricted in their natural positions in the abdominal cavity. General improvement in blood circulation from the massage benefits the blood vessels in the abdominal cavity. The veins transport the blood depleted of oxygen to the heart more quickly and the arteries respond by supplying the body cells with freshly oxygenated blood. The liver, the gall-bladder, and the pancreas receive a larger share of oxygen and nutrients and release their metabolic waste products such as carbonic acid into the bloodstream.
In addition to the physical benefits there are significant emotional benefits from abdominal massage. The stomach is considered the "core" of the body. Exercise based in control of the muscles such as yoga, abdominal flattening exercise, and meditative exercises are all focused around the core. The reason for this is that so much energy within the body transfers through the core. Emotions as well as physical exertion all can be stimulated or related to the core of the human body. An appropriate abdominal massage can increase the effectiveness of all surrounding organs, ease the tension associated with those organs, and release the inner emotions carried in the core.
Course details
During the masterclass we will cover the following:
- Review of the abdominal cavity and digestive system
- The four layers of muscles in your abdomen, (rectus abdominis, external obliques, internal obliques, and transverse abdominis)

Contractors, trades owners, and landscapers…
As you know, homeowners and landlords are already booking projects for spring and summer. Most of them will be searching online to find reliable businesses and contacting them through their websites.
Do you have a website? Is it old and outdated? How does it look on a mobile device? These are all questions you need to be asking yourself because a website is often the first interaction a potential customer has with your company.
Why is a website so important?
Pretend you are a homeowner who budgeted $20k for a kitchen remodel to be done in May. It's late January and you want to get it scheduled. You start looking to Google, Facebook, and/or personal friends for recommendations.
Assume two companies were equally recommended; ABC Corp and XYZ Corp. They both have good reviews, the same estimate range, and both can start as soon as you want. What is the first thing you do? You Google them.
You easily find ABC Corp's professional website on Google and it loads fast on your phone. The site looks great and it shows recently completed projects as well as customer testimonials. The contact information is easy to locate on their site and you can fill out a simple form for an estimate. You spend less than 3 minutes on the page.
Next you search for XYZ Corp and fail to find their website on the first page. XYZCorp.godaddy.com finally shows up on the third page. You click on it and it takes forever to load on your phone. When it finally loads there is a grainy picture that takes up the whole screen. You have to scroll this way and that to see any text. It takes you 5 minutes to find a tiny gmail address at the bottom.
Who would you go with all other things being equal?
Katama Bay helps small and medium businesses create, redesign, and maintain their websites. Our goal is helping businesses land new customers. Once you contact us, you will learn that a great website costs less than you think and could even pay for itself.

Major NFL sponsor Anheuser-Busch has issued a serious reprimand and warning to the NFL in response to the league's latest fuckery. This is even better if you imagine the puppy from this year's Super Bowl ad bark-dictating the announcement. Trust me.
In a statement released this afternoon, the American libations behemoth owned by even larger Belgian-Brazilian libations behemoth InBev announced,
"We are disappointed and increasingly concerned by the recent incidents that have overshadowed this NFL season. We are not yet satisfied with the league's handling of behaviors that so clearly go against our own company culture and moral code. We have shared our concerns and expectations with the league."
According to USAToday, A-B has three years left on a 6-year, $1.2 billion deal with the NFL. If they pulled their sponsorship, it could be quite the fiscally disastrous ball-flick for Goodell and company.
This isn't the first time Anheuser-Busch has thrown its weight around with athletic leagues it sponsors. In 2012, AB brass grew upset by unchecked homophobic and sexist language thrown around by UFC fighters, and released the following structurally similar statement:
"We've communicated to the UFC our displeasure with certain remarks made by some of its fighters, and they have promised to address this. If the incidents continue, we will act," the brewer said in a statement. A-B, which did not elaborate on potential actions, also stated that it "embraces diversity and does not condone insensitive and derogatory comments rooted in ethnicity, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, etc."
For those of you keeping score: a beer company has been braver (or savvier) about taking a stand for women than Cover Girl. How could all those Rah Rah Girl Power ads have led me astray?!?!

Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
Modern healthcare focuses on shared decision making (SDM). SDM is the process in which both the doctor and the patient decide on the best treatment, taking into account medical factors as well as patients' preferences. In order to be able to participate in the process of SDM, patients need to have knowledge about the subjects they are discussing with their doctor. Currently patients are mainly educated about their illness and the available treatment options during the consultation with the doctor. Unfortunately, this has proven to be an ineffective way to improve their knowledge.
Factors that make it difficult for the patient to absorb information from the doctor include age, level of education of the patient, lack of time available, complex language from the doctor and above all, too much information in too little time.
This study aimed to investigate whether providing patients with 'bite-size', categorised and interactive content through an app for smartphone or tablet could increase their knowledge about their illness and treatment options.
Who can participate?
Patients with knee osteoarthritis, who were referred to the hospital by their general practitioner.
What does the study involve?
In the week before the consultation, patients in the app group received information on a daily basis. The information was about 5 important topics that would be addressed in the consultation with the orthopedic (joint) surgeon: about the knee and osteoarthritis, conservative (non-invasive) treatment, surgical treatment, rehabilitation and expectations. Patients were actively offered the information through push notifications. Each topic was available in text, images and a short video. Each topic had quiz-like questions to, on a day-to-day basis, measure (and reflect) on patients' knowledge about the topic.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There are no risks of participating. People in the app group might gain a better understanding of knee osteoarthritis and options for treatment.
Where is the study run from?
Several medical centres in the Netherlands
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
April 2017 to September 2017
Who is funding the study?
The maker of the app, Interactive Studios

Knee osteoarthritis
A surgeon-blinded randomized controlled trial was conducted with 213 patients who were referred to one of the six Dutch hospitals by their general practitioner owing to knee complaints that were indicative of knee osteoarthritis (OA). The eligibility of patients was assessed during their first contact with the hospital to schedule their appointment with the orthopedic surgeon. One group of patients were randomly allocated to use an interactive app that, in addition to standard care, actively sends informative and pertinent content to patients about their illness on a daily basis by means of push notifications in the week prior to their consultation with the orthopedic surgeon. Patients received, on a daily base and by means of push notifications, information about one of the following topics: the knee and the origin of the complaints, conservative treatment, surgical treatment, risks, rehabilitation after discharge and expectations. Each day covered one topic. Video, images and text were used as modes of information. Quiz-like questions were asked after each video to provide direct feedback of patients' understanding of the information.
Patients in the control group did not receive the app. They had access to all the standard information (eg. website, brochure) that is normally offered to them in the period prior to the consultation.
After accepting participating in the study, patients were automatically online randomised. No blocks or clusters were used.

Basic results (scientific)
In total 122 patients were enrolled in the control group and 91 in the intervention group. After the intervention, the level of actual knowledge (measured on a 0-36 scale) was 52% higher in the app group (26.4 versus 17.4, P <0.001). Moreover, within the app group, the level of perceived knowledge (measured on a 0-25 scale) increased by 22% during the week within the app group (from 13.5 to 16.5, P < 0.001), compared to no gain in the control group.

The sights and cities of Eastern Europe are sometimes forgotten in favor of Western hot spots like London and Paris, but after visiting a city like Budapest, adventurous travelers and history buffs alike will be singing its praises. Consistently called one of the most beautiful cities in all of Europe, Budapest boasts some truly unique spots like geothermal springs and delicious classic Hungarian cuisine making your extra travel time well worth it.
Today Kaleigh Glaza of Lux and Concord is breaking down the best and most beautiful spots to eat, drink and be merry in Budapest, including some great places to hit if you're traveling on a budget. While there's a lot more to explore in the city, these spots are perfect to hit if you only have a weekend or so to explore.
Where to Drink

With theme nights like "Feel Good Monday" and entertainment including high-flying aerial yoga performers, this two-story mecca of excitement will make visitors want to come back again and again. The open-air interior, complete with trees growing at the bar's center, give it a unique look perfect for that envy-inducing Instagram shot.
Ellato Kert
While you simply must visit any one of the ruinpubs (bars that are famous in Budapest, usually located in an abandoned warehouse and home to a relaxed, artsy vibe) in the 7th District while in Budapest, Ellato Kert should definitely be at the top of your list. Open-air nights out don't get much better than this hot spot, plus it boasts cheap drink options, table soccer games and the (self-proclaimed) cleanest bathrooms in the whole neighborhood.
Széchenyi Bath

There's no party quite like a bathtub party…so try it while you can! These medicinal baths come from two thermal springs and always run right around 74 degrees, even in the winter! Their "sparties" (spa parties) take place at night and basically provide a typical club atmosphere…but in a giant bathtub. It's a truly unique Budapest experience, but you can always visit in the daytime for a more relaxed environment.
Where to Eat
Keksz Café

For fun and a good meal on a budget, this is the spot! The café is small but you can find inexpensive beers that will have brewery lovers in heaven thanks to the expansive list. In the warmer months, the wrap around patio makes it a great place to linger with the friends but even in winter it's centrally-located enough for an easy stop in between tourist destinations.
Anna Café
Start your days here for a tasty breakfast at a good price. The cakes and skillets (depending on if you want sweet or savory) are both excellent choices, and the café also makes for a great people watching spot. If you come back in the afternoon, try the local cheese plate and a cup of coffee for a relaxing time.
Zeller Bistro
This is one of the best rated restaurants in the city, and best of all it offers a true taste of Hungarian ingredients. More off the beaten path, and not very well advertised, this is a restaurant that the locals will send you to for delicious food and elderflower champagne. Many of the ingredients, and even the wines, come from local or family farms, too.
What to See
Chain Bridge

London and Paris both have their own iconic bridges, so why shouldn't Budapest have one as well? This is a suspension bridge that crosses the famous Danube River, linking the western and eastern sides of the city. When it was built in 1849, it symbolized the unifying of eastern and western influences, a juxtaposition that can be seen throughout the city.
Elisabeth Lookout Tower
This one is a hike, but it's worth every step of the 1725-foot climb to the highest spot in Budapest. If the weather is clear, you can see all the way to the Matra Mountains, which are over 50 miles away. Plus, it's named for a seriously powerful and beautiful lady, the Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary.
Buda Castle
Source: Field Notes from Fatherhood
One of the most famous and easy-to-spot locations in the city, the castle was built on the southern tip of Castle Hill. In addition to being a historical landmark, its expansive ground including houses, churches, and other medieval public buildings all offer amazing views.
City Park Allatkerti Korut
Source: Sophie Stedman
Bring it on Central Park, because City Park has it all! An amusement park, botanical gardens, medicinal baths and swimming pool plus multiple palaces make this a destination all on its own. You can easily make a whole day of exploring the park, and be sure to enter through Heroes' Square for stunning views of one of the most iconic squares in the city.
