The second USS Henry W. Tucker (DD-875) was a Gearing-class destroyer of the United States Navy. She was named for Pharmacist's Mate Third Class Henry W. Tucker (1919–1942) who was killed in action during the Battle of the Coral Sea on 7 May 1942 and posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.
Henry W. Tucker was laid down by the Consolidated Steel Corporation at Orange, Texas on 29 May 1944, launched on 8 November 1944 by Mrs. Henry Walton Tucker, the mother of the late Pharmacist's Mate Third Class Henry W. Tucker, and commissioned on 12 March 1945.
After shakedown, Henry W. Tucker was converted to a radar picket destroyer and participated in radar and antiaircraft exercises off the Maine coast until sailing for Pearl Harbor 4 November. From the Hawaiian islands she continued to Yokosuka, arriving 22 December, to aid in the occupation of Japan and repatriation of Japanese nationals. Her first tour of duty in the Far East ended 25 March 1946 as she set course for her new homeport, San Diego. In the next 3 years Henry W. Tucker made two more such cruises, alternating them with tactical exercises and operations along the east coast. In March and April 1948 the destroyer patrolled off Eniwetok in connection with United States atomic tests in the Pacific islands. She was reclassified DDR-875 18 March 1949.
Undergoing overhaul at the time North Korean troops launched their attack on South Korea in June 1950, Henry W. Tucker speeded up preparations and joined the fleet operating off Korea in November. After 5 months of hunter-killer and patrol operations, she joined the screen for Task Force 77, a fast carrier force whose jets struck hard and often at enemy supply lines and troop concentrations. The destroyer also participated in shore bombardment and landed several raiding and intelligence parties on the western coast of the war-torn peninsula. On 28 June 1951 as she steamed into Wonsan harbour, Henry W. Tucker was hit by six enemy shells. Two men were injured and extensive damage was done to her radar gear, but the destroyer's return fire effectively silenced enemy shore batteries. Returning to San Diego 8 August, Henry W. Tucker engaged in intensive training exercises before returning to Korea to join Task Force 77 off the east coast 25 March 1952. Screening and plane guard duty with the fast carrier force alternated with ASW patrol and shore bombardment duties until she sailed for home 13 September.
Henry W. Tucker entered the Mare Island Naval Shipyard for installation of the newest radar equipment in September, emerging 14 April 1953. Her new duties, centered primarily on the detection of enemy attack through extensive radar coverage, were to take her on eight more Western Pacific cruises in the next 10 years. In addition to the lonely patrols along the radar picket line, Henry W. Tucker also patrolled the important Formosa Straits and the Korean coast. When not deployed with the 7th Fleet, the radar picket destroyer participated in tactical training exercises and fleet maneuvers out of her San Diego homeport. Streaming her homeward bound pennant at Yokosuka 2 November 1962, Henry W. Tucker sailed for Boston via Pearl Harbor, San Diego, Acapulco, and the Panama Canal.
She underwent an extensive Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) overhaul at the Boston Naval Shipyard in Boston, Massachusetts, between 13 December 1962 and 4 December 1963, designed to lengthen her life as an active member of the fleet by 10 to 15 years. While undergoing modernization, she was reclassifled DD-875 on 15 March 1963. Following the FRAM overhaul, Henry W. Tucker began a program of intensive training, until 26 May, when she departed for the western Pacific and a station on the Taiwan Patrol. Almost immediately she was diverted to the South China Sea.
Tucker alternated between antisubmarine patrol off Vietnam and off Taiwan until April 1965, when she joined Operation "Market Time," a close surveillance of Vietnamese coastal traffic to prevent the shipment of supplies to the Viet Cong on the South Vietnamese coast. On 16 May the veteran destroyer pounded Viet Cong coastal concentrations southeast of Saigon and thus became the first U.S. ship to provide naval gunfire support against enemy targets in South Vietnam. During the Vietnam War Henry W. Tucker served as plane guard for aircraft carriers on Yankee Station in the Tonkin Gulf, participated in Operation Sea Dragon and Operation Market Time, patrolled on search and rescue duties, and carried out naval gunfire support missions.
Henry W. Tucker provided gunfire support for ground operations dozens of times; and during a 40-day period in August and September fired over 5,000 rounds from her 12.7 cm guns, destroying or damaging numerous enemy positions. In addition to Market Time patrols, she screened hardhitting attack carriers in the South China Sea and the Gulf of Tonkin and served as a search and rescue control ship to recover downed pilots at sea. This vital duty sent her close to enemy-controlled shores; however, joined by daring CSAR helicopters which refueled and replenished from the destroyer while in flight, she provided maximum protection for planes returning from strikes over North Vietnam. She refueled more than 80 helicopters while on SAR assignments. Known as "Tuck's Tavern" to the helicopter pilots, she became the first destroyer on 6 November to refuel an in-flight helicopter at night. Coordinated training with these versatile aircraft paid off 26 June 1966 when two pilots from USS Constellation (CVA-64) and USS Ranger (CVA-61) were rescued from the sea less than 5 km from the North Vietnamese coast and carried to Henry W. Tucker.
After more than 2 years of almost continuous duty off Vietnam, Henry W. Tucker returned to Long Beach early in August 1966. Following a 4-month overhaul and intensive training out of San Diego and Long Beach, she deployed to the Far East in June 1967. She resumed carrier screening duty late in July; and, following the disastrous fire on board USS Forrestal (CVA-59) on 29 July, she took part in survivor rescue and escort operations. As the conflict in South Vietnam continued in 1967, Henry W. Tucker remained "on the line" for various periods until 1973.
Henry W. Tucker was decommissioned and stricken from the Naval Vessel Register on 3 December 1973, transferred to Brazil, renamed Marcilio Dias, and placed in service with the Brazilian Navy.
After her service with the Brazilian Navy, Marcilio Dias (D-25) was decommissioned and sunk as a target ship during a torpedo exercise on 19 September 1994.

|Sopor aEternum
Hidden in the mausoleum was the old Sepulchral Book. Many thought this was a strange place to keep a library, others that the cool, dry environment was the best option. To access the library, you had to press the eye of the gargoyle carved on the tomb. It was a rather uncomfortable place to click considering that the grotesque image had been carved at the back and the space to maneuver was rather scarce. That didn't prevent anyone from visiting the crypt underneath and browse through the books. People were interested in medieval history and poetry books, in gothic and romantic literature, but not in the Sepulchral Book. It was boring, it was said. It held a list of all those who had died in that area throughout time. How names were added, no one knew and no one dared to check if the names had indeed been added.
Sean Patrick, who was convinced his lineage went back to Chaucer and thought of himself as a writer who paid great attention to detail, decided do some research for a story he was writing with the original title "To Die or Not to Die".
So, he clicked the eye of the gargoyle, he walked down the steps to the crypt and tried to find the book. It took him hours. It was buried in the farthest darkest corner, of course. When he pulled it out of the shelf, he thought he heard a voice. He turned around.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
"Yes," a gruff voice said. "I believe you are taking something that belongs to me."
"Oh, no, no! This is the Sepulchral Book; it belongs to everyone in the village."
"It belongs to me."
Sean's eyes had long adjusted to the semi-darkness, but he couldn't see anyone.
"Ahm… I don't think so. Can you step closer? I can't see you."
"I'll step closer alright. It belongs to me."
"I'm just doing some research, you see. I won't take a bite off of it, no worries!"
Sean heard a few steps and then… nothing.
The Devil took the Sepulchral Book from Sean's hands and scribbled his name at the end of the list.
"What an arrogant brat. This is getting boring. I need to get out more."

WASHINGTON: Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour was targeted and "likely killed" Saturday in a US drone strike in a remote area of Pakistan along the Afghan border, a US official said.
The airstrike, which was authorised by President Barack Obama, also killed a second adult male combatant as the two travelled in a vehicle southwest of the town of Ahmad Wal, but no civilians were killed. "Mansour was the target and was likely killed," the official said, speaking under the condition of anonymity.
Earlier, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said the airstrike against Mansoor was carried out in a remote area along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
Mansoor "has been an obstacle to peace and reconciliation between the Government of Afghanistan and the Taliban, prohibiting Taliban leaders from participating in peace talks with the Afghan government that could lead to an end to the conflict," the statement said. "We are still assessing the results of the strike and will provide more information as it becomes available," Cook said. AFP

Hi @Hugh.Kelley,
can't comment on dns.google.com or dns-api.org but would like to provide some comments on https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/fqdn-service
Take into account, though, that if you're using PANOS then you better create custom L7 apps (SSL Decrypt + matching the HTTP Host Header or SSL Response Certificate in case you're not decryting) instead of matching based on FQDN. FQDN matching is performed at "sample intervals" (i.e. once an hour) and these FQDN entries behind AWS rotate tipically at 1 minute intervals. That means that you will, probably, fail to match many sessions between sample intervals no matter which DNS service you end up using

Lately, we have been witnessing OEMs tying up with telecom operators and offer cashbacks on entry-level 4G devices. Vodafone, Airtel and Idea already had tie-ups with phone manufacturers and offered cashback schemes. This time around, Vodafone has tied up with Flipkart and is offering cashback on 29 devices! Yes, you heard that right!
The Vodafone-Flipkart offer covers handsets from brands like Micromax, iVOOMi, YU Televentures, XOLO, Intex, Swipe, and Alcatel. The best part is that, unlike before, the cashback offer now also covers relatively premium devices that are priced in the Rs 5000 to Rs 12,999 range. That being said, the users are still required to pay the full price upfront and can claim the cashback with regular recharges.
The users need to make recharges worth Rs 2,700 in the first 18 months and post that, they will be eligible for a cashback of Rs 900. The user is expected to continue making recharges worth Rs 2,700 for the following 18 months to be eligible for additional cash-back of Rs 1,100. In other words, if you buy any of the devices under the Vodafone-Flipkart offer and recharge the same for a total of Rs 5,400, you will be able to claim a total cash-back of Rs 2,000 spread across the next 36 months.
That being said, one can get smartphones like the Intex Aqua A4 at a relatively lesser price with the Vodafone bundling. The Intex Aqua A4 is currently priced at Rs 2,999. As per the terms, one will be eligible for a total cashback of Rs 2000, which brings the effective cost to Rs 999. Other notable devices include Yu Yunique 2 Plus, Micromax Vdeo 2 and Micromax Spark 4G. In all likelihood, Vodafone will be extending the offer to devices from other brands as well.

The 2018 Housing Market: Here's What to Expect
Although spring weather in some parts of the U.S. is notoriously unreliable, there is one thing homebuyers can count on — spring is prime house hunting season.
So, what's in store for the 2018 housing market? Here's an overview of what buyers and sellers can expect in the coming year.
To learn more about what Peak real estate services in Los Angeles can do for you, visit Century 21 Peak today.
It's Still a Seller's Market in Most Parts of the U.S.
The general post-recessionary trend continues. Historically low inventory in most regions of the country, including the state of California, will make it difficult for buyers to find properties, particularly in popular urban areas.
There are two basic reasons inventory remains low.
● First, new home construction has yet to outpace demand. Until that happens, buyers will continue to compete for scarce housing resources and contend with rising home prices.
● Second, homeowners continue to find themselves financially strapped. Although the economy has improved, wages remain stagnant, and 1 out of 3 Americans has no savings. Thus, people are postponing retirement and staying put despite the increase in property values.
To make themselves competitive, buyers will need to continue to perform due diligence. They must have their financing in order and find a real estate agent who knows the ins and outs of the local market.
You'll Have to Look to the Suburbs for Bargains
Buyers will need to shop outside main metropolitan areas to find affordable housing, and they must be willing to commute to work. In "The Best Places for Young Families in California," Andrew Wang points out that smaller suburbs score higher in overall livability.
Meanwhile, in urban areas, the trend in new housing continues to be mixed-use community builds that combine commercial and residential properties — and ever-smaller living spaces.
Eyes Are on the Millennial Buyer
One thing analysts are keeping a close eye on in 2018 is the millennial buyer. Millennials have contributed to a slow-down in sales volume over the past few years due to their reluctance to become homebuyers.
Despite the advice of people like self-made millionaire David Bach, homeownership among millennials lags behind other age groups. Young professionals prefer to rent in densely populated urban centers, tolerating high rent and smaller spaces for accessibility to work and play.
A reason for their reluctance to become homeowners, may be that many millennials postpone starting a family. Others are overwhelmed by the amount of student loan debt they carry and find it difficult to set enough aside to make an initial down payment.
Real Estate Services in Los Angeles
CENTURY 21 Peak has the can-do spirit, great customer service, and local market expertise buyers need to conquer the Los Angeles real estate market no matter what challenge you face. Using the resources of CENTURY 21, a real estate powerhouse of nearly 7,000 independent brokers worldwide, CENTURY 21 Peak offers a customized approach to the search and negotiation process.

User buys a new Samsung Galaxy S9 and will no longer use their iPhone. Normally, people transfer media files from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S9 as soon as they have their Samsung Galaxy S9 mobile phones in hand because they can't wait to enjoy their precious photos, videos and music on the new gadget. But the media transfer is not always as simple as some users may think. This is because the user may experience various kinds of problems when these transfers are being made. For instance, USB cable is accidentally disconnected during the transfer process so all of the media files may not be on the new device, or media files may be out of sync or corrupted.
All the problems above can be solved easily by using an full-featured iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S8 photos transfer tool - iPhone to Samsung Transfer. This is a phone to phone transfer program also supports you transfer photos, music, videos, apps, documents, contacts, messages and other important files from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S9 directly.

The difficulty is finding the simplest plumbing company obtainable when you wish help which normally involves a little bit of forethought on any homeowner's part.
The first purpose which you wish to require into consideration in finding the simplest plumbing service is that the certification. Just about all professional plumbers are licensed by the local or state government bodies to produce service once they have obtained a license which normally involves some kind of testing or at a minimum being registered as a tradesman. When getting a license or enrolling as a contractor, the company owner is required to brazenly present his license in his office and in print along with any of his advertising and marketing.

Trusting a whole new plumbing company is alright however it's generally way higher to pick the business that has a lot of years of operating expertise behind them. This should suggest that the plumbing technicians ought to be in a position to accommodate any issues that you are experiencing in a way a lot of productive manner then somebody new to the industry.

The comments from these people will have an vital role in determining that plumbing company is superior to the others in addition to in precisely what way. This can be the apparent way to search out a reputable and value efficient plumbing service.

A few years ago Libby posted this amazing Gingerbread recipe and it has been my go to Christmas cookie recipe ever since.
Everyone loves this gingerbread, but it can be a little soft for construction work! Since we make our own Gingerbread houses, I've been playing around with the recipe to come up with a harder gingerbread that stands up to the building process a little better but still meets all of our allergy requirements and this is it.
If you are making this mix in a Thermal Cooker, you will need to be mindful of the weight capacity limit of the machine – I do only a half batch at a time in my Bellini. This recipe does make a large quantity of dough, and half is more than enough for a house and some cookies.
- 250g Nuttelex
- 180g brown sugar
- 3 tbsp aquafaba (liquid drained from a can of chic peas) OR 1 egg worth of egg replacer
- 300g honey or golden syrup
- 800-900g plain g.f. flour
- pinch salt
- 5 tsp ground ginger
- 3 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp ground allspice
- 2.5 tsp bicarb soda
- 125ml boiling water
In your stand mixer, cream dairy free spread and sugar until light and fluffy (Speed 5, 10 seconds, scrape down and repeat twice).
In the small bowl of your mixer place the aquafaba and beat it until frothy – you don't need to go as far as sort peaks forming. Add this mix into the beaten sugar mix and beat to combine. (Speed 4, 8 seconds)
Add in the honey (or syrup) then mix well (Speed 4, 12 seconds)
Mix together dry ingredients and then add to mixture in parts alternating with bicarb soda dissolved in the boiling water. Start with 800g of flour then add more 1 tbsp at a time if the mixture feels too soft. I used a full 900g last time. (Set machine on speed 4 for about 3 minutes to allow you to add mix through the measuring cup opening while the machine mixes).
Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours – overnight
Remove dough from fridge and allow to sit for 5 minutes, then roll dough out (use a little pure cornflour to dust the surface) and cut out to shape.
Lay on lined baking trays and place in a preheated 170C (or 160C fan forced) oven for about 15 minutes.
They will be browned and still slightly soft to touch when removing from oven
Remove from oven but leave on tray for 5 mins before transferring to a wire rack.
Then you just need to get building!
For a fabulous egg free Royal icing (to use as your cement) check out this one. I made and used 2/3 of this recipe to construct and decorate our house. (For a thermal cooker: place icing sugar in bowl and set machine to speed 4 for about 2 minutes, add lemon juice and glycerine through the measuring cup opening in the top. Mix until thick and well combined … you probably won't need all of the 2 minutes!)
My 3, 5 and 7 year old decorated ours this year and they are very proud of the outcome!
Hope you are enjoying Christmas baking as much as I am 🙂

One of the oft-mentioned worries for buyers is the financial health of their suppliers. This is not because of altruistic worrywarts occupying procurement, but a concern for delivery.
We have found repeatedly in our research that the unstable economic environment – and its potential to push vulnerable suppliers over the brink – is a leading item on the supply chain risk register.
During the financial crisis of 2008 (and its continued depressing effects in Europe and North America) many businesses were disrupted by failed suppliers. Many high-profile businesses went under, attracting considerable media attention.
Throughout this storm, however, was a number of economists arguing the reverse: fewer businesses were going bust than we may have expected. Indeed, quickly looking up the UK stats, the totality of registered insolvencies has steadily declined since 2003. Few would argue that the current state of British business has noticeably improved in the last ten years.
Many people point at the banks to explain this phenomenon.
For banks (apparently 'too big to fail') suffer from a bulging loan book with loans with increasingly large businesses. Financial institutions, which have struggled to absorb the impact of changing financial regulations and a growing body of bad loans. The remaining loans, no matter how unproductive, must be protected and maintained to prevent the bank from accruing more write-offs.
Instead of enduring a short, sharp correction in the marketplace, we have spread the pain over years, not months. In economic terms, 24-hour bug has become a chronic sickness. This will ultimately affect the structure of the economy with expectations lower investment and employment rates.
As interesting as these issues are, the uncertainty of recovery may be hiding further insolvencies. Masked by insecure banks and propped by government subsidy, a large body of the supply chain may be delivering goods on an unsustainable business footing.
There is two reasons why buyers would be concerned about this.
Firstly, they can expect more businesses to go bust. This may even occur in a large wave once the true valuation of businesses emerges onto the marketplaces. Rolling out financial performance indicators for all suppliers and ensuring that all meet the required financial footing is a must.
Secondly, recent events show the dangers of over-extending credit. Although supplier collaboration has become a fashionable topic in recent times, with many companies offering favourable payment conditions and support in return for innovation. Still, buyers must be wary of backing unsound business.

"Black Box: Exchanges," is a new initiative dedicated to showcasing solo projects for one evening only. This summer join us every Monday or Thursday for an intimate evening with an exciting group of emerging and mid career artists.
Black Box will provide access to artists whose work emphasizes new media and the latest technologies. Conceived by artistic director Juan Puntes with the exhibition space studiously designed by architect Ana Catalina Rojas, Black Box is an enclosed cubical black hole, all six surfaces hued in a dense black ultra-flat finish paint that throws the normal perception of visual elements off kilter, defying gravity as if floating in space, where the artwork can define a new independent spatial identity and is free of the traditional exhibition format.
Black Box aspires to tap into White Box's new Media Lab, which as it further develops will expand into an invitational for artists from around the world to present in real time, using the internet highway and new telecommunications means, their latest gamut of various media, performative, interactive and sonoric artworks. While the build-out of (deleted WBX's) the new Media Lab is in the process of receiving capital funding, Black Box provides artists with a creative, truly in-kind collaborative opportunity and forum, one that builds on intern and professional in-house talents.
Week ten opens with emerging artist Anja Koestler's Human Nature, a video installation emphasizing its audio component. Initially the video appears to depict abstracted patterning; however, the imagery soon reveals itself to be hues and tones of water overflowing, specifically a waterfall. Seeking to avoid appropriation of existing footage, Koestler, who lives and works in New York, turned to the city's urban waterfalls, in particular the 9/11 Memorial, the prime source for Human Nature. Art Historically, the waterfall has been a common reference pointing to connections with the sublime, a notion that many writers have connected with the traumatic event of 9/11. Susan Sontag observed that after 9/11 "all the principal figures in the American government" seemed to be "at a linguistic loss, as they searched for images with which to encompass this unprecedented rebuke to American power and competence." Koestler's imagery addresses the 9/11 media coverage without resorting to the literal, avoiding what Freud calls the repetition compulsion, the psychological occurrence in which a person continually replays a traumatic event. If the sublime consists of a disturbance and the overcoming of that disturbance, Koestler's piece represents the relief that follows the fear experienced, the awe that follows shock.
Anja Koestler is originally from Germany and received her MFA degree from Universitat Der Kunst, Berlin. She has exhibited mainly in Europe and currently lives and works in New York.

Hotel group says it is in talks with partners over delayed W Dubai Festival City Hotel
Starwood Hotels and Resorts said on Sunday it is in talks with its partners over the revival of the stalled W Dubai Festival City Hotel.
"W Dubai Festival City was placed on-hold by the developers, however, we firmly believe they fully intend to bring this project back to fruition," a Starwood spokesperson told Hotelier Middle East.
"We are working closely with our owner partner and will be ready when the time is right to begin this development," the spokesperson added.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide entered into a management agreement for the W Dubai Festival City with project developer Al Futtaim Group in 2006, with the launch of the hotel scheduled for 2008.
The 350-room hotel was intended to form part of Dubai Festival City's delayed 'Marsa al Khor' (Harbour of the Creek) development.
The hotel is Starwood's third signed Dubai property under the W brand.
On April 26, the operator announced a partnership with Al Habtoor Group to open the W Sheikh Zayed Road in 2017 as part of the Habtoor Palace development on the site of the old Dubai Metropolitan hotel.
On May 8, Starwood said it had revived plans to open a W branded hotel on The Palm Jumeirah, Dubai.
The project first unveiled in 2006 was subsequently put on hold but has been relaunched and is now scheduled to open in 2016.
With the W Dubai Festival City postponed, W made its regional debut in the Middle East in Doha in 2009.For all the latest travel news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

TARGETjobs has two new editorial interns, Ross and Alex. Throughout this summer they will be writing about their experience here: what they are learning, getting used to working life and other bits and bobs along the way. Hope you join me in giving them a big warm welcome.
Hello bloggers, I'm Ross and I'm one of the summer editorial interns at TARGETjobs. I've been here for two weeks and I'm feeling progressively comfortable with my relocation from
to the Wallingford
office (even if English people are still really weird, he joked). I arrived
here as a relatively recent graduate looking to gain some experience in the
publishing industry, based primarily on my enjoyment of writing.
To give you an idea of my background, I studied Scots Law at the University of Dundee (based on the arbitrary selection of a career path at the apparently mature age of 17) before completing an LLM in International Criminal Justice and Human Rights at the same institution. This academic pathway is probably quite appropriate in setting the scene for my arrival at my position at TARGETjobs. I had originally decided (with as much conviction as you can when you don't know what a job involves) on the idea of an academic career. Following an unguided stab at securing PhD funding, which was unsuccessful, I felt that perhaps my thirst for a career in academia was based more on a notion of a passion as opposed to a concrete enthusiasm.
I moved on to searching for a graduate job. I hadn't really considered this idea before and felt, with misplaced confidence, that securing a place on a graduate scheme would be a formality given that I had a strong 2.1 and a masters degree. Not so. Over the course of eight months, I experienced a series of peaks and troughs of enthusiasm for a number of potential career paths. At times I would decide that I would be well-suited to a role in management consulting and would pursue this until I was met with the decisive and seemingly insurmountable 'no entry' of a rejection email. After recovering from this knockback, I would switch perspective and angle myself towards a career in politics, initially as a parliamentary assistant, to the same conclusion.
It was a galling experience to have my delusions shattered by the realisation that a university degree by itself does not guarantee an immediate career. It did however give me time to focus on what I might like to do when I grow up…
During this confusing period of my young life, I worked full time in the call centre of an apparently regal Scottish bank. Although I wasn't too unhappy about it at the time, given that I was unused to being given so much pocket money, I reflect on this time with a slight shudder. I guess this is testament to the enjoyment I've experienced in my jobs since: firstly in a rural distillery on a Scottish island, which gave me a different sense of perspective and the realisation that putting yourself into an unfamiliar situation can lead to unexpected opportunities arising; and now at TARGETjobs, which has been cosy and tea-assisted, but also exciting as I find myself exposed to the unforeseen complexities of life within the publishing industry.
Over the next few months, I hope to supply you with some interesting insights into my time at TARGETjobs. Thank you for listening (with your eyes).
Hello guys, I'm Alex, another one of the summer interns. I'm twenty and lacking letters after my name unlike Ross. During the holidays I live at home in Marlow.
I've recently finished my second year at
where I study English literature (I'm always asked how many books I have to
read for my course – I just like to carry them around to look intelligent). Swansea University
Swansea, despite being somewhere close to my heart, is one of those places that receives around a week of summer weather a year, before descending back into winter again, so when told I had the opportunity to come and work for TARGETjobs, I grabbed at it.
As far as my career aspirations go, I'm set on becoming a journalist, so I see TARGETjobs as an ideal opportunity to broaden my horizons and become familiar with web-based content.
As far as employment is concerned, apart from TARGETjobs, I've been working since I was 16. A job at a coffee shop (the name of the company will remain private, though I will say it was a big one) broke up my routine during sixth form and it was an ideal way to get employment during the student holidays. Whilst in
I haven't particularly worked, although I've recently been at one of the local
bars serving the revellers (I'll be sharing a few stories on serving tricky
customer in the next few months, fear not). That's the paid employment. In
terms of work experience, I'm a bit of a show off. What with journalism being
highly competitive, I've been hassling newspapers all over the country to take
me on for a week at a time to build up a list of newspapers and articles to add
to my cv. My method of calling up everybody on a newspaper's "contact us"
section of their website has yielded results and I hope to be able to put my
experiences towards supporting an application for a postgraduate degree (Again,
blog post on hassling employers for work experience is to come).
Although in person it's a lot harder to shut me up and I'm regularly hassling the guys in the office, I'm keeping this post a little shorter, but I promise to update you guys regularly. I'm currently lacking in a classy sign off line like Ross.

Kathleen Burghardt-Cobb asked me to pass the following on to our readers. One of our Valley Home neighbors helped her out the other day when she was pulling her horse trailer home. She had to stop at the corner of Pleasant Valley and Sawyer to change the trailer hitch ball because she had the wrong one on her truck.
It would have been a catastrophe had she gotten out to the highway with the wrong trailer hitch. She was very tired and had had a very bad day at work and was not concentrating enough to change the hitch before she pulled out of the pasture.
Kathy states that a very nice man named Dean came out of his house and helped with the truck and trailer so she could continue on her way. She offers a big 'Thank You!' for his help.
We have received reports from several people this week reporting sightings of suspicious people wandering throughout the neighborhood. A resident reported that 15-20 plants were stolen from their property sometime during daylight hours.
These were taken from under a shade cloth where it is difficult to see the plants, but also hard to see people taking them.
The resident contacted her neighbor who told her that she had seen a small white truck driving by the area that day about four times quite slowly, even turning around in the resident's driveway. Upon receiving that information, the resident commented that if these were the ones who stole the plants they are very brazen and very stupid. She also stated that the plants were not worth anything, however she just doesn't like someone coming onto her property like that. She reports that this is the first time that she has ever had anything taken from her home.
We also received word that a week ago a female, late forties was seen walking/loitering on Wilkins Avenue taking pictures of people's yards, etc.; when confronted, she said, "Is this because I was petting your dog?" They told her that she looked very suspicious and would she like them taking pictures of her yard? She said, "I live in LA. Go ahead!" She also stated that she was just getting exercise and was told that most people walk faster when they are exercising. This week another neighbor reported someone walking and talking to someone driving a white pick-up.
Another report was made of a woman walking on Wilkins this morning and she was supposedly working at the cherry farm on Wilkins and Sawyer. The informant's grandson reported that when he rode his motorbike by her she took his picture. When she was approached and asked about it, she said that she was taking pictures of the landscape when he rode by.
When the grandmother spoke to another neighbor in that same direction who stated that he had confronted the same woman the previous week. In that instance the woman told him that she was from LA and that she was here picking cherries.
The woman proceeded to take pictures all along Wilkins with a cell phone. It has been suggested by one observer to take photos of this person if possible.
We were unable to report the following information in last week's column from our neighboring Neighborhood Watch reporter. She shares the following information with us. FYI, I have received word that a pet house cat was shot with a .22 Thursday night in the vicinity of 29000 block of Lone Tree Road or in the vicinity South of those homes near Chapman.
The cat survived but its owners incurred significant veterinary bills and the cat endured significant suffering as its leg was shattered and had to be amputated. One person's target is another person's pet. Not all people are animal people, not all people like cats, but please be aware, that this conduct can result in both civil and criminal liability to the person shooting the animal. In addition to the direct impact on the pet and its owners, there are laws making it unlawful to discharge a firearm within close proximity to dwellings.
Oakdale Garden Club Valley Home members invite you to attend their Annual Salad Bar Luncheon being held at the Bianchi Community Center in Oakdale on Tuesday, June 19th. Valley Home members of the Club have been lining up their favorite salad recipes for the popular event.
Tickets are priced at a $5 donation for the luncheon. The event also includes an opportunity to take part in a silent auction, a plant sale and raffle baskets of goodies. Lunch starts at 11:30 a.m.
The luncheon will mark the 37th luncheon that your reporter has participated in since joining the Oakdale Garden Club and it is always the highlight of the year!
A very big Happy Anniversary to Estelle and Wallace Barnhill who just celebrated their 62nd wedding anniversary this week from all their Valley Home friends and neighbors.
Happy Anniversary wishes also go to Richard and Angel Willet who also celebrate an anniversary this week.
Getting all set to blow out the candles on their birthday cakes this week are McKenzie Willett, Lainy Smith, Tyler Caine, Diane Hougland and Samantha Jones. Many Happy Returns of the Day to all.

TIW's best bet of the day for December 24
Christmas is always a busy period for US sports and it kicks-off...
Christmas is always a busy period for US sports and it kicks-off with a pair of NFL week 16 games. Our focus will be on the latter of the two as NFC North rivals Minnesota and Green Bay clash at Lambeau Field. The Vikings already have wrapped up the division title and remain in the hunt for a first-round bye while maintaining an outside shot at home-field advantage throughout the postseason. The Packers are out of the playoff picture. Aaron Rodgers, whose right collarbone was broken during a season-defining loss at Minnesota in week 6, is back on injured reserve after throwing three interceptions in a killer loss at Carolina so Brett Hundley returns at QB. Despite Rodgers absence, the line looks very attractive in favour of the home side.
Best of the day: Minnesota Vikings @ Green Bay Packers +9

Semi-Finalist for the 2019 James Thurber Award * One of Vulture's Top-10 Comedy Books of 2018 * A "Must" pick by Entertainment Weekly * An A.V. Club Best Books selection * A "New and Noteworthy" selection by USA Today
In celebration of The Simpsons thirtieth anniversary, the show's longest-serving writer and producer offers a humorous look at the writing and making of the legendary Fox series that has become one of the most revered artistic achievements in television history.
Four-time Emmy winner Mike Reiss—who has worked on The Simpsons continuously since episode one in 1989—shares stories, scandals, and gossip about working with America's most iconic cartoon family ever. Reiss explains how the episodes are created, and provides an inside look at the show's writers, animators, actors and celebrity guests. He answers a range of questions from Simpsons fans and die-hards, and reminisces about the making of perennially favorite episodes.
In his freewheeling, irreverent comic style, Reiss reflects on his lifetime inside The Simpsons—a personal highlights reel of his achievements, observations, and favorite stories. Springfield Confidential exposes why Matt Groening decided to make all of the characters yellow; dishes on what it's like to be crammed in a room full of funny writers sixty hours a week; and tells what Reiss learned after traveling to seventy-one countries where The Simpsons is watched (ironic note: there's no electricity in many of these places); and even reveals where Springfield is located! He features unique interviews with Judd Apatow, who also provided the foreword, and Conan O'Brien, as well as with Simpsons legends Al Jean, Nancy Cartwright, Dan Castellaneta, and more.
Like Cary Elwes' As You Wish, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong's Seinfeldia, and Chris Smith's The Daily Show: An Oral History, Springfield Confidential is a funny, informational, and exclusive look at one of the most beloved programs in all of television land.

"The good is always rare. A truly great comic is rare. Mike Reiss, by definition, is a rarity." - Conan O'Brien
"Besides providing a hilarious look at what is perhaps the greatest TV show of all time, Mike Reiss has also created a staggering literary work that is almost completely devoid of typos and grammatical errors. It's well worth the price of this book for the proofreading skills alone." - "Weird Al" Yankovic
"Reiss has done a masterful job of compiling this laugh-filled account of his long years as a writer on this beloved show. It's the sort of book that makes you wish your dinner guests would go the hell home so you can get back to reading it." - Dick Cavett
"Mike Reiss is a great example of somebody who writes for a living and does it so well in so many different ways. And, of course, he helped write this thing called The Simpsons." - Dan Castellaneta, longtime voice of Homer Simpson
"Mike Reiss always brings his own unique, quirky, eccentric genius with him." - Nancy Cartwright, longtime voice of Bart Simpson
"Extremely funny and fascinating." - Vanity Fair
"Always honest, playful, and engaging, the book will provide fans with deep insight into the show's history but also into its daily production and future...A charming look at a cherished American show." - Kirkus Reviews
"Founding Simpsons writer Reiss offers a funny and factoid-filled glimpse behind the curtain — or, brown couch — of the beloved sitcom...a surprising view of Springfield you've never heard before." - Entertainment Weekly
"In Springfield Confidential, Reiss offers a breezy history of the show from his insider's perspective, from its dismal early prospects to its astonishing success, with insights aimed squarely at the Comic Book Guy variety of Simpsons fans." - The A.V. Club
"Always entertaining and frequently laugh-out-loud-hilarious. There have been a lot of books written about The Simpsons, some of them good but most not so much, and this is hands down one of the very best." - Booklist (starred review)
"Not until Springfield Confidential has one really nailed what it's like to work in the mystical promised land of The Simpsons' offices. Reiss shares the pride, joy, frustration, gratitude, grueling labor, and sense of luck that are a part of bringing Springfield to life." - Vulture
"Springfield Confidential offers a wealth of great anecdotes, all peppered with punchlines that make Reiss's memoir as hilarious as whichever season of The Simpsons you recall most fondly." - Washington Post
"Springfield Confidential spills all of the juicy secrets from behind the scenes of your dad's favorite cartoon, and after reading it, he may never be able to look at Homer the same way again." - Bustle
"The Simpsons is one of America's greatest cultural products of last few decades, and Mike Reiss was and remains one of its key creators. So if you like The Simpsons, why wouldn't you read this entertaining, charming and informative insider's chronicle? I did, and I'm better for it." - Kurt Andersen, novelist and SPY magazine founder

This fall most of us will participate in special worship services where we will ritually and prayerfully commemorate the 500th Anniversary of the Reformation. Some of these services will be "Lutheran specific" events in our congregations and ministry areas. Others will be broadly ecumenical and some will be jointly sponsored Lutheran and Roman Catholic events.
Globally, this journey began on October 31 of last year when Lutheran World Federation President Munib Younan, General Secretary Martin Junge and Pope Francis jointly presided over a Lutheran, Roman Catholic reformation commemoration in Lund, Sweden. This fall, Roman Catholic colleagues and I will jointly preside over services using use this same liturgy at various locations across the territory of the Eastern Synod.
September 21 - Sudbury - 7:00 @ St. Patrick's Roman Catholic Church
September 30 - Toronto - 2:00 @ St. Ansgar Lutheran Church
October 21 - Kitchener - 2:00 @ St. Peter's Lutheran Church - being taped for future broadcast
October 28 - Pembroke - 3:00 @ St. Columbkille Cathedral
November 10 - Hamilton - 7:00 @ Christ the King Cathedral
November 18 - Montreal - 2:00 @ St. John LutheranChurch
November 19 - Lunenburg - 2:30 @ Zion Lutheran Church
November 25 - Ottawa - 12:00 @ Notre Dame Cathedral
In these liturgies we will lift up four commitments.
1. Catholics and Lutherans should always begin from the perspective of unity and not from the point of view of division in order to strengthen what is held in common even though the differences are more seen and experienced.
2. Lutherans and Catholics must let themselves continuously be transformed by the encounter with the other and by the mutual witness of faith.
3. Catholics and Lutherans should again commit themselves to seek visible unity, to elaborate together what this means in concrete steps, and to strive repeatedly toward this goal.
4. Lutherans and Catholics should jointly rediscover the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ for our time.
In 1998 when I was installed as bishop of the Eastern Synod, I was invited to choose a theme passage for the liturgy. I chose Jesus' high priestly prayer from John 17 and the service was built around the theme "that all may be one." Still, as ecumenically hopeful as I was in choosing that theme, I would not have imagined that efforts toward the reconciliation of Lutherans and Roman Catholics would have advanced to the extent indicated by these formidable commitments. We have walked a good long way as partners in the journey from conflict to communion. But we still have a ways to go.
In the fall of 2001 Anglican bishop Ralph Spence and I made an ecumenical pilgrimage to Rome with Roman Catholic bishops Anthony Tonnos and Matthew Ustrzycki. It was a deeply holy and enriching time together. Early one morning we were invited to participate in a service of holy communion in Pope John Paul II's private chapel. Bishop Spence and I participated in every element of the service but one. We were not able to share in the sacrament. Roman Catholics and Lutherans did not share altar fellowship with one another then, nor do they today.
But I am hopeful, more so than I have ever been. As such, when I participate in these special liturgies this fall, I will also be affirming a personal commitment to continue working toward the goal of full eucharistic sharing between our two traditions. It is a goal sought by many in our respective churches; a goal whose achievement I pray to someday experience. This is a God-pleasing reformation goal that we can collectively advance as we live out these four commitments. Won't you join me?

I'm creating a data entry script and it will take some time to fill in all of the data. (This is for a research project, with lots of data per page.)
I would like to create a script that has the following features:
1. If any data is entered in the form, the page is aware of that. (If no data is entered, nothing should happen, no warnings.)
2. If the user submits the form, there should be no warning message.
3. If the user leaves the page (or refreshes), a warning should appear to inform them that doing so will lose all of their data entered in the form.
I know how to do this manually, but is there any easy way to set this up? Specifically I'm wondering about the onchange event for the form inputs-- if there are a lot of them, that's a LOT of cutting and pasting.
If there were an "onchange" event for a form that would be simple. Or a way to automatically attach an onchange event to all children of a given form. I'm not sure how to do either of those, though.

How does the use of biometrics for patient identification help increase medical data integrity and why is this important in the context of EMPI, interoperability initiatives, and health information exchanges?
What impact has RightPatient made for the healthcare organizations that have deployed it for patient identification?
As more hospitals evaluate the use of biometrics for patient identification, what are the most important question to ask a biometric vendor during due diligence?

text: By May 1915, there were three Labour MP's in the Coalition Government, one of them, Arthur Henderson, in the cabinet. The two Treasury Agreements signed by government and trade union representatives confirmed labour's promise to abandon strike action for the duration of the war. It also drew the unions (including the Amalgamated Society, whose members were principally affected) into agreeing to suspend 'restrictive practices' in skilled trades by agreeing to the use of unskilled or semi-skilled labour (particularly that of women) in the war industries. (This was known as 'dilution'.)

For years I've always enjoyed reading and watching Batman. I remember ages ago seeing a Batman figure in the window of Forbidden Planet (sad sacks shop) and for weeks wanted to buy it but I was a poor student at the time and just never got round to it. Shakeel pointed out some vinyl figures made by Kotobukiya although they were mostly Star Wars.
However by the magic that is EBay I tracked down a Batman figure from the same firm – I now have it in the house and it looks great. Although it was pretty pricey I think it was worth every penny and goes nicely with the Matrix APU. The trick now is to not buy too many more – EBay is far too easy to use.
I am weak. This is my new TV – a Philips 32pf9830 LCD. Pictures from all sources look great, especially high def 360 & upscaled DVD's. Freeview is great for some channels, pixel hell for others. Not messed with the settings much but will post back some thoughts when it all settles down. As Ricky would say…woof!
The most important aspect of any console is the games themselves. Launch titles are notorious for being short on gameplay while focusing on visuals knowing that second generation titles on the same platform should look a lot better. I picked up three games for the 360 that returned mixed results.
Project Gotham Racing 3 (PGR3) is the follow up to PGR & PGR2 which in turn were the follow up to Metropolis Street Racing on the Dreamcast. You know what to expect from this – fast city based arcade/sim racing with exotic cars. I loved the last three versions and this is no exception.
Graphics are lovely and show what to expect from the 360 in the future. Special mention to the actual cities themselves as the detail they contain is amazing. The cars themselves look great especially when you switch to in-car view – the level of detail is amazing but I find the game feels a bit sluggish in this view so I always race from the bumper view. The sound of the engines also gets special mention as it's a real step up from previous games.
Importantly, handling feels just right with a great solid feel. You really can feel your way around the track and know after a few turns exactly how the car behaves. Like previous versions PGR3 concentrates on Kudos points – not just winning, but winning with style. I would have also liked to have seen lap times and other time based stats as well but they are missing unless you specifically race time trials.
Online works really well – little to no lag and most cars and all tracks are available from the outset meaning you don't have to spend ours offline to unlock the fast cars. Niggles – no anti-aliasing for starters means the graphics can look 'jaggy' from time to time. Also the game is true hi-def but to be honest it's hardly noticeable. There was a lot of fuss pre-release that the game ran at 30 frames per second and that this was an outrageous decision. Since release I've not heard one person complain.
Couple of gameplay flaws. There's an online career mode that is enjoyable except for the cheats that ram into your car at every corner. Learn to brake people. At the same time learn to use manual gears as it makes for a far more enjoyable game. There is also a track build mode which allows you to design your own tracks within the 4 cities rendered in the game. Nice idea except the barriers placed by the game are transparent unlike the ones used in the real tracks – a fatal flaw which makes custom track racing difficult – patch please!
For a first day release this is an astounding game and well worth a purchase for any 360 owner.

Chakras? What are they, and what do they have to do with me?
In this workshop with Paige, you'll discover and understand chakras, the subtle energy system that can affect our lives. If a chakra is out of balance, it can exhibit emotional, physical and mental imbalances. You'll learn asanas, meditations, mudras and mantras to help you stabilize an underactive or overactive chakra. Mastery of these techniques can help you feel grounded, free and blissful
Dates: February 2nd - 2pm to 4pm. $35 per person. Advance registration required.
with Dane Auenson
In this workshop, Dane will briefly review the history of hatha yoga and its migration from India to the US. He will highlight a few key roles that men and women have played throughout the years to make it what it is today.
He will lead a discussion on how each gender's psychological and social particularities have led to a modern day yoga industry that is dominated by women (and how men can become a part of that).
The group will examine differences in men's and women's anatomies and infer how these differences affect our respective abilities to achieve yoga poses.The workshop will conclude with a 60-75-minute mat practice designed for men. Participants will be offered several chances to share their experiences and insights.
Dates: February 24th - 2pm to 4pm. $35 per person. Advance registration required.

Austria boy finds euro banknotes in Danube in Vienna
Police in Austria are investigating how bank notes worth tens of thousands of euros ended up in the River Danube.
The notes were found floating down the river in Vienna on Saturday, leading one passer-by to jump in and salvage the money.
A police spokesman told the BBC that the recovered money was worth some €100,000 (£72,000; $108,000).
Police said there were no crimes were recorded in the area and that it was not clear where the money originated.
Reports in Austria said officers had first believed the money - made up of €500 and €100 notes - was counterfeit, but they now believe the notes to be genuine.
They were first alerted when bystanders spotted a boy in the river on Saturday. Fearing he was attempting suicide, they called police, only to find he was trying to retrieve the money.
Anyone who finds money and hands it to police in Austria is entitled to keep between 5% and 10% of the total.
But if the owner is not found within a year, the whole sum will be handed to the boy.
