A taller President.
By achieving the impossible and winning the re election, Barack Obama has grown taller in stature virtually dwarfing almost everyone else, not just in the U.S. but on the world scene.
First, let's remember what Obama did in the first term: he passed the most substantial new element in the American safety net in generations, Obamacare. He helped pass a massive re-regulation of the financial sector, the Dodd-Frank bill. He passed the biggest stimulus package in our history, which I believe--Ezra Klein convinced me of this--prevented the worst economic depression in four generations. He did these things in the first two years, of course, when Democrats controlled Congress, but he did them. They were not chopped liver, whether or not you liked them. Q&As, Washington Post
However, everyone tends to forget the enormity of the unprecedented Post Lehman gloom and doom and impending recession Barack Obama was send out to put right. What is not clear, at least to the rest of the world not familiar with the U.S. politics is the equally massive obstruction he faced from a republican majority in the House.
Add to all of those the spectacular annihilation of the number one enemy of the U.S.A he promised and carried out, matching the incredulity of the 9/11 attack on the nation which has raised the credibility and image of the US and its President as a force not to be taken lightly.
In short the stature of the President has grown beyond that of any of the potential contenders for a long time to come. If President Obama decides to contest a third term, for which he may have plenty of reasons, there won't be many happy contenders.
Unique Bond of a Leader With His Social Web.
Add to all of those the spectacular annihilation of the number one enemy of the U.S.A he promised and carried out, matching the incredulity of the 9/11 attack on the nation which has raised the credibility and image of the US and its President as a force not to be taken lightly.
In short the stature of the President has grown beyond that of any of the potential contenders for a long time to come. If President Obama decides to contest a third term, for which he may have plenty of reasons, there won't be many happy contenders.
Unique Bond of a Leader With His Social Web.
The truth is without the social web and its immense and electrifying power the mystery of Obama would never have happened. At least in such a short time. This special bond which shaped before the 2008 election, which owes to his youth and awareness of the potential of the social media to take his message to a young and savvy supporters will be stronger and forceful in imposing an obligation on himself to pursue the reforms and changing of the United States which he had undertaken but not quite finished. This is indeed the bond which has rendered Obama as the only a Super PAC slaying democrat. In fact, there is no leader in either party who can claim anything similar to this phenomenon which will end if Obama decides not to run for a third term. It is hard to see how the democrats will let that happen.
The Fiscal Deficit.
During the Democratic convention Bill Clinton asserted that one term is too short to remedy the fiscal damage created by the previous administration. But he didn't say two terms are sufficient. Even the president estimates a minimum of a decade, that too if he can get on with it unhindered. As it is, with a majority in the house, it is questionable how much he can achieve. But if the electorate can see reason and buy the president's argument to grant him a second term, they are very likely to go with him for a third if the going is good.
Will Hilary? Won't Hilary?
The big question for the next election is who the Democratic Party candidate is going to be. It is said that Hilary Clinton will be the first choice if she will contest. But if she is ready for it, she couldn't have stayed away from the campaign as she did, leaving Bill Clinton to let everyone second guess. If anything, Hilary has sent out the impression of an overworked diplomat who needs some rest and certainly not the sign of some one hungry for the power of the First Woman President of the U.S.A and ready to go for it. Hilary must know that at the age of seventy, putting up your feet is a lot more comfortable than the gruelling chair in the oval office.
Changing Demographics.
The demographic which gave the most support to the Republicans yesterday was elderly white people--not exactly the men and women of tomorrow. The age-group that gave Obama the most support was the young. White people supported Romney more than Obama; the country is becoming steadily less white. African-Americans, Latinos and Asian Americans overwhelmingly supported Obama. Latinos and Asian Americans are the fastest-growing categories of our population.Q&As, Washington PostMuch has been written about the demographic shift in the US electorate which has turned in favour of Obama on account of his policies and the indifference of the GOP. This shift which will widen in the next election will be another compulsion for a obliging and liberal president not to give up too soon.
Shrinking Election Cycle and The Number Crunchers.
If only it was actually 4 years - 2 years is more like it. With so many people making a living talking and writing about politics, we'll be starting the next election cycle in 2 years, max.Q&As, Washington PostThe impact of the social media, social web, and a huge number of people who have taken election related professions which consumed 2 Billion dollars in the recent election, the election cycle has been reduced to a perennial activity for analysts, strategists and others who predict the outcome. In a way, the next election cycle has already begun and an incumbent president becomes part of the cycle. President Obama has to weigh in if his next term will be enough, especially with the republican majority in the house and obvious absence of an able successor, to achieve his goals. Chances are he will see the need for a third term much like President Franklin Roosevelt before him.
For those willing to ponder, there could be any number of subtle signs of a prolonged Presidency of Barack Obama one can't ignore. After all it is not as hard as searching for a needle in the hay stack.

Malcom Floyd ran a drag route, caught a pass, swung his body to the left and sprinted upfield at the start of Friday afternoon's Chargers practice.
It was an encouraging sight for the wide receiver, who suffered a hip injury Sunday against the New York Jets.
Less than encouraging: his missing teammates.
Running back Mike Tolbert (hamstring, hand) and outside linebacker Shaun Phillips (foot) sat out their third straight practice and are not expected to play Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs.
From the start of the week, coach Norv Turner has played the team's health issues close to the chest. Of the 11 players on the injury report, only two — defensive end Luis Castillo (tibia) and left guard Kris Dielman (concussion) — were confirmed to miss the division road game.
On Friday, Turner conceded he was "not real hopeful" on Tolbert and "not real hopeful" on Phillips, the strength of a so-far very weak pass rush.
Curtis Brinkley and Jacob Hester may see added touches in Tolbert's absence. Outside linebackers Antwan Barnes and rookie Darryl Gamble will see heavy snaps for a unit already without Larry English, placed on injury reserve earlier in the week. Tyronne Green will start in place of Dielman.
Phillips has started 61 consecutive regular-season games since 2007.
Antonio Gates rested his plantar fascia injury during Friday's padded practice. With the tight end having participated the past two days in full, his absence was part of the usual plan to build him up toward game day.
He is expected to practice Saturday.
Floyd and safety Darrell Stuckey (groin) were limited practice participants.
"I was excited to see (Floyd) be able to go out and do what he could do," Turner said. "Hopefully he can practice tomorrow."

InfraPhotographs by Richard Mosse
Availability: Limited quantities
Infra, Richard Mosse's first book, offers a radical rethinking of how to depict a conflict as complex and intractable as the ongoing war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Mosse depicts the rich topography, inscribed with the traces of conflicting interests, as well as rebel groups of constantly shifting allegiances at war with the Congolese national army (itself a patchwork of recently integrated warlords and their militias). For centuries, the Congo has repeatedly compelled and defied the Western imagination. Mosse brings to this subject the use of a type of color infrared film called Kodak Aerochrome. Originally developed for military reconnaissance and now discontinued, it registers an invisible spectrum of infrared light, rendering the green landscape in vivid hues of lavender, crimson, and hot pink. The results offer a fevered inflation of traditional reportage, underlining the growing tension between art, fiction, and photojournalism. Mosse's work highlights the ineffable nature of current events in today's Congo. Infra's photographic dialogue begins as an intoxicating meditation on a broken genre, but ends as a haunting elegy for a vividly beautiful land touched by unspeakable tragedy.
Richard Mosse (born in Kilkenny, Ireland, 1980) holds an MFA in photography from Yale University School of Art, and additional degrees from Goldsmiths, London; King's College London, and the London Consortium. His work has been widely exhibited internationally, including at the Palais de Tokyo and the Tate Modern. In 2011, Mosse was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, with a supplemental stipend from the Leon Levy Foundation. Mosse is represented by Jack Shainman Gallery.
Adam Hochschild (essay) is the author of numerous books, including King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa, and To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914–1918. Among his many honors is the Theodore Roosevelt–Woodrow Wilson Award of the American Historical Association in 2009. Hochschild teaches at the Graduate School of Journalism at the University of California at Berkeley.

Audio Recording in Public Places Can Be Serious Crime in Illinois
Twenty-first century technology makes it easy to record events throughout the world, but that ease of recording may violate the law. In Illinois, making audio recordings of conversations in public places without the permission of everyone in the recording is usually a crime. Under the Illinois Eavesdropping Act, recording police officers can lead to a class 1 felony, which can carry a four to 15 year prison sentence. Illinois Public Media's Sean Powers reports on efforts to soften the eavesdropping law for both the public and police officers.

Different Perceptions of a Place Brand by Diverse Target GroupsZenker, Sebastian; Knubben, Evelyn; Bechmann, Suzanne C. (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: compete strongly with each other for attracting tourists, investors, companies, or talents. Place marketers therefore focus more and more on establishing the city as a brand and to promote their city to its different target groups. But the perception of a city (brand) can differ dramatically between those groups. Thus, place branding research should emphasize much more the city brand perceptions of the different target groups and develop strategies for cities on how to build an advantageous place brand architecture vis-à-vis its stakeholders. In this regards, we show in two empirical studies – 40 qualitative in-depth-interviews (Study 1) and an online qualitative open-ended-question survey with 334 participants (Study 2) – using network analysis the important discrepancies between the city brand perceptions in the mental representation of different target groups for the example of the city of Hamburg. Furthermore, practical implications for place marketers are discussed. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8266

UK Court Says Making Available Online Only Happens Where The Server Is Located
from the that-may-make-things-interesting deptThere have been a series of court battles in the US over the question of whether or not simply "making available" constituted copyright infringement. That is, copyright (in the US) covers a series of specific exclusive rights held by the copyright holder:
(1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;So, here's the question that some people asked: if you only make the work available, but there is no evidence that a copy was made, then was the copyright infringed? After all, no reproduction was made. No copy was distributed. So, where's the infringement? Supporters of saying that merely "making available" is infringing claimed that it was the equivalent of distributing because you had effectively offered it up for distribution or reproduction.
(2) to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;
(3) to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;
(4) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly;
(5) in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly; and
(6) in the case of sound recordings, to perform the copyrighted work publicly by means of a digital audio transmission.
It appears that over in the UK, they have been having a similar battle. Thomas O'Toole points us to a very interesting ruling from the UK High Court saying that "making available" can be copyright infringement... but only in the jurisdiction where the server resides. In this case, it involved database rights over UK football scores and other data. A German company, aggregating football data, copied some of the data from a UK firm and offered it via their servers in Germany and Austria. The original creator of the database (in the UK) claimed this was infringing. The judge felt that, if there was infringement, it happened in Germany and not the UK when it came to the "making available" right:
I have come to the conclusion that the better view is that the act of making available to the public by online transmission is committed and committed only where the transmission takes place. It is true that the placing of data on a server in one state can make the data available to the public of another state but that does not mean that the party who has made the data available has committed the act of making available by transmission in the State of reception. I consider that the better construction of the provisions is that the act only occurs in the state of transmission.That certainly could have a major impact on other sorts of copyright lawsuits in the UK. If the content is hosted offshore, then it would suggest that no "making available" claims could be made in the UK.

Febrile seizures are convulsions that can happen during a fever (febrile means "feverish"). They affect kids 3 months to 6 years old, and are most common in toddlers 12-18 months old. The seizures usually last for a few minutes and are accompanied by a fever above 100.4°F (38°C).
While they can be frightening, febrile seizures usually end without treatment and don't cause other health problems. Having one doesn't mean that a child will have epilepsy or brain damage.
There are two types of febrile seizures:
Febrile seizures stop on their own, while the fever may continue for some time. Some kids might feel sleepy afterward; others feel no lasting effects.
No one knows why febrile seizures happen, although evidence suggests that they're linked to certain viruses and the way that some children's developing brains react to high fevers.
Kids with a family history of febrile seizures are more likely to have one, and about 1 in every 3 kids who have had one seizure will have another (usually within the first 1-2 years of the first). Kids who are younger (under 15 months) when they have their first febrile seizure are also at higher risk for a future febrile seizure. Most children outgrow having febrile seizures by the time they are 5 years old.
Febrile seizures are not considered epilepsy (seizure disorder), and kids who've had one have only a slightly increased risk for developing epilepsy.
If your child has a febrile seizure, stay calm and:
It's also important to know what you should not do during a febrile seizure:
When the seizure is over, call your doctor for an appointment to determine the cause of the fever. The doctor will examine your child and ask you to describe the seizure. In most cases, no additional treatment is needed. Tests might be done if your child is under 1 year old and had other symptoms, like vomiting or diarrhea.
The doctor may recommend the standard treatment for fevers, which is acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Giving these medicines around the clock is not recommended and won't prevent febrile seizures.
If your child has more than one or two febrile seizures that last more than 5 minutes, the doctor might prescribe an anti-seizure medicine to give at home.
Take your child to the emergency room or call 911 if:
A child who hasn't gotten certain vaccines and has a febrile seizure could be at greater risk for meningitis, a disease that affects the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord. Get immediate medical care if your child has any signs of meningitis, such as a stiff neck, a lot of vomiting, or, in infants, a bulging soft spot on the head.
Febrile seizures can be scary to witness, but remember that they're fairly common and are not usually a symptom of serious illness. In most cases, they don't lead to any health or developmental problems. If you have questions or concerns, talk with your doctor.

Water Works testing Saylorville backup today
A release of 30 cubic feet per second release from Saylorville Lake is part of a Water Works test being conducted Wednesday.
Des Moines Water Works requested the release from the Army Corps of Engineers.
"Our intention at this time is to ensure procedures and mechanisms are in place at both the State of Iowa and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide additional water supply options should they be needed," said Bill Stowe, CEO and general manager of Des Moines Water Works.
Des Moines Water Works said it invested $2.4 million 30 years ago for access to the Saylorville Reservoir. An annual payment of $100,000 is also made to maintain a pumping facility at Saylorville, officials said.
"Des Moines Water Works has never exercised the process of releasing our water supply at Saylorville Reservoir," said Stowe. "But given last year's drought conditions, including poor water quality while in short supply, it is in our best interest to test the procedures to protect all our water resources for our ratepayers."
Water Works said it will use the Des Moines River water source during the test Wednesday, instead of both the Raccoon and Des Moines rivers.
"We are in the process of considering how we are going to use that more often as we look at both water quantity and water quality in the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers," said Bill Stowe.
Officials said the release won't be noticeable to most people.
"About 5 million additional gallons of water will be released from Saylorville and travel down the river. We have a treatment at Fleur (Drive) that pipes it in from the Des Moines River and we will take that water in and treat it just as we do on a day-to-day basis," said Stowe.

Backdrops & Props
What Happy Photographers Are Saying:from 244 reviews
My wife bought this bag for me for Christmas and I absolutely LOVE it. It's exactly as it is named, easy access. I don't have rummage through he bag to quickly grab my DSLR on a shoot or on the go. great bag for the price!
Love it
Nicely packaged... can't wait to get out and use it.
Great product that works as advertised.
Perfect size. Fits all my gear and the quality is really, really good.
I bought this for a trip I was planning and the bag was absolutely perfect. Great quality, lots of storage spaces and the wheels were just an added bonus! Highly recommend!
Great Product, Fast Service
Excellent tripod & monopod! Easy to carry with included bag.
Works great, nice tight fit, and the bubble level is a nice addition.
Works perfectly on my D750, very satisfied.
Everything is good with the price
Love the protectors!! Plenty of protection and offer a great clip to carry on your side for easy accessibility. I just wish perhaps they were slightly wider for my lens hood to remain on my Large lenses. Would order again!
So far so good! I've been using it for astrophotography.
Great lens at this price point!
Received my order in a timely manner. Haven't used the products yet but looking forward to putting them to good use.
Comfortable, straight stencil, reasonably good quality
Fast service, item was even better than expected. Now both my camera and flash are smarter than I am.
Love the ring light
A basic over the shoulder camera strap that works well and keeps the weight of the camera off of my neck, which is why I purchased it.
I primarily bought the case to carry my flying camera(drone) but will see use for my dslrs. Easily configured for multiple uses with movable dividers. Only negative is the zipper sometimes hangs up on the lids edge seam and has to be manipulated to get it unstuck. Good value!
Sturdy yet light and watertight. Does the job.
Nice bag, keeps camera dry and able to shoot in heavy rain. Handy strap for carrying.
They could modify the roll up plastic to leave more room to snap closed. Needs a a trigger hole for shutter button.
Overall pretty good bag for price.
Looks very good and real but takes to long to get
Arrived in good condition, looks good.
I personally don't care too much about wearing the Name Brand around my neck when I'm out photographing the world around me.
I love my "Vintage Fashion Neck & Shoulder Trap" It's very comfortable and looks real nice. I would highly recommend this strap. It's a good one.
Its a great product, However when i use my 28 to 300 lense I can see the ring clearly through the viewfinder
just what the doctor ordered, now some experiments
Nice tripod. Reasonably light and sturdy enough for my Sony A6000 with kit lens.
I ordered this background, it took a longer time than projected to arrive. But I have to say that it was worth the wait. I was so pleased with the product that I have purchased a different background. Keep up the good quality.
The flash works well with my Canon 60D. I've been pleased with its performance, and I'm looking forward to really putting it through its paces. I do agree with one of the other reviewers, that an online manual would be greatly appreciated.
I bought this item on the recommendation of some pro photographers. It is a very well-made device, but I haven't yet found a way to use it in my photography. I'm sure I will!
I love it...it's very helpful when I'm on the move
Served as an ideal backdrop in most recent series.
I like the way it attaches to the bottom of the camera. Very secure. I have large hands and a battery pack on my cameras, so a little more strap would have been nice. I anm still waiting for my double harness, to fully test these out. There was delays in shipping my harness. Which was ordered with the hand straps.
Top class Product thanks :)
Delivered the next day . Good job!!!
Thank you

Exploring New York City's Past with Library Maps
A portion of the New York Public Library's map collection was made available for people to download last week, the first time the fascinating maps have been available for library users to download as high resolution images without having to worry about copyright infringement.
Matt Knutzen, geospatial librarian for the library's Lionel Pincus & Princess Firyal Map Division, said he is excited to see how people use the maps in artistic and academic contexts.
"I see this as a step forward in people's ability… to take this material in, aggregate and use it and mash it together with other kinds of information," Mr. Knutzen said.

Google Maps may help holiday shoppers by giving them indoor maps of their nearest big box stores.
"Simply zoom in on a building on Google Maps and you'll automatically see a detailed floor plan with helpful labels for gates at the airport, stores within the mall, departments within a retail shop, as well as ATMs, restrooms and more," Google announced on Google+.
Right now the search engine offers indoor maps for more than 10,000 different locations in nine countries, according to PC Magazine. According to the Google+ post, any vendors or venues can add their floorplan by using the Google Maps floor plan tool.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
However, Google also lets these venues know that its floor plans are still in beta. "We're still working out the kinks in how we process your floor plans, so right now we can't give estimates on when your floor plans will appear in Google Maps for Android," Google said on its floor plan tool page.
When Google is able to map all major buildings and and venues, it will become an even more important tool for users to own -- even if they're on iOS.

Hi everyone!
I have 2 great kids who are 9 and 6. They both still believe in Santa, the Easter bunny, and tooth fairy...well at least they say they do. I have doubts about my son (the 9 y.o.).
For a while now I have been feeling bad about keeping up the ruse. Every now and again they will ask questions and I just feel so guilty about brushing them off or outright lying to them. When they ask questions about other topics I never lie. I always answer their questions to the best of my abilities in a way they understand, but when it comes to these stupid traditions, I just can't seem to bring myself to tell the truth.
My husband has mentioned having similar feelings though we've never talked about if we should break the news to the kids or not.
What's your take? What did you do with your children, or what was your experience as a child? I know I believed as a kid, but I honestly can't remember when I found out the truth.
Should I answer their questions truthfully or keep it going until it runs it's course?
Views: 965
My mom never really told me any of this stuff was real. She was raised Jewish so didn't grow up with the "Santa Claus" tradition but also she didn't feel right lying to us. I don't specifically remember her saying they're not real, although she must have.
And people think whoever breaks it to the kid, or never lied about it in the first place, is practically a child abuser! Some people are also scared to tell them, because "how can I inform them that Santa Claus is pretend, but not make them think the same about God?" hah!
Probably when you do feel like telling them, break it to them gently, by saying it's just a game people like to play by pretending these things, it's just for fun or something. Are kids actually traumatized and upset by this?
Do you think we would feel alot less embarrassed if the people who lied to us did not lie to us? We feel embarrassed because we realize truth is what is is and the lie did not have to be a lie, therefore we mirror our guilt of disrespect of the lier to ourselves so that we do not feel like hurting that person who lied to us. If the lie was told as a fable and the story was known to be fantasy then we do not set ourselves upto a fantacy as being real. How can we protect ourselves if who we depend on is feeding us lies as truth?
I was never raised to believe in Santa Claus and the like so I cannot speak to how the child would feel, and I have never raised my son with that belief either as I dislike lying to children if I can avoid doing so. I am having a similar difficulty in trying to determine how to discuss god with him (he is 7).
His mother and I divorced 4 years ago and we share custody. She is highly religious while I am obviously not. She has apparently mentioned something of my lack of belief to him as he came out and asked me if I believed in god a couple of weeks ago. I did my best to answer honestly that I did not, and that of course led to other questions, etc. I primarily just try to convey that he would have to decide for himself when he got older, and that I would love him no matter his decisions. Ugh.
Wow, I think your story is one of the reasons I find it difficult to be in a relationship. I am trying to find a way to be respectful to myself and others and not go through the same kind of heartache you are experiencing now. Respect is the key though. I believe as long as you do not try to make your child disrespect their other parent you will be ok. Once you get into the whole she/he is wrong it is a whole different situation, I don't reccomend it. Your kid will hopefully someday turn 18, that legal age that allow he or she to choose what they want socially. Don't let them learn they cannot trust you or they will not be their for you later. Telling your side of the story is truth and not disrespectful. You will have to determine age appropriate truth, Santa is hardly one to worry about.
When my children were growing up I never did the Santa/Easter Bunny/Tooth Fairy thing. I figured it would be just as exciting if they knew whatever was coming from me and the now X. They never seemed to feel like they were missing anything. Although my reasons as the time were actually religious (I'm a former fundy) I would still do the same.
IMO, it's better not to start kids off on the unreality of those traditions. They are, IMO, no different than religion and the religious myths and superstitions taught by religion when children are indoctrinated into a particular belief. Although I expect relatively harmless on the whole as no one really believes them, it's better not to start them in on that magical thinking. The wonder and "magic" so to speak of the real world is far more exciting and exhilarating.
I think it might encourage a way of thinking that is not ultimately the way you want them to think as adults.

So yea. Title should say it all.
Friends helped me understand proper gauging, that it shouldnt hurt etc.
Noted for future.
Been about an hour since going from 14g to 10g
stretched from 16g to 14g 3 days ago.
I know... i didint know how that is not good for it however now i do ... noted and will change moving forward.
i am listening to my body at the momment.
The left side is sore and grr a lil
The right side has a bit of stinging still a little red ... that side the taper went through and the jewerly struggled hence the pain i think. Again also aware now i should have slowly moved the taper through and let it rest in stages.
So for here,
What should I watch for? It does hurt. Comes and goes. the redness is going away. Pain / stinging are getting much easier. Not sharp however sometimes its a bold pain.
I got backs on it gonna keep it clean and follow proper steps moving forward so that my ears can stretch at healthy rates and hopefully reach 0g perhaps 00g.
Now what I am curious of is things to watch for.. pain feels like? or obviously infection.
How long do i let these poor girls heal before moving the tunnels? i got some 12g hangers I want to eventually use however obviously healing is much more important
ways to help them heal faster? Im a wierd super fast healer anyway however what can i do to encourage the body to move along happily?
Hope that helps... wish i had found this site sooner... oh well found it now
no bleeding and no pop so seems they will recover if i care for them.
Also, Hi all first post hope everyone is well and look forward to using this resource.

10-Minute Family Finance Tune-Ups
Make these quick fixes to your finances to help save for your child's college fund, and more.
A version of this article originally appeared on Learnvest.com.
It's a time to conquer any traces of "put-off-ability" because the longer you put things off, the more you'll let them snowball. Admittedly, some of the tasks that get pushed off the longest are the ones that can help your financial life. Here are 10 easy tweaks that can help families save money.
1. Increase Your 401(k) Contribution
Even if retirement feels like a long way off, it's crucial to start saving as early as possible because time is your biggest ally. And don't feel guilty about saving for yourself—one of the biggest gifts that you can give your kids down the road is the ability to take care of yourself in those golden years. In less than 10 minutes, you can log into your 401(k) website and up your monthly contribution.
2. Schedule 10-Minute Quiet Time
Kids are basically the epitome of noise, but taking time out is critical for your own mental health, personal wellbeing and general effectiveness as a parent. Plus, clearing your head can help you refocus on everything from your work to your finances. Take 10 minutes—with the door closed–to spend in total silence. Ask your partner to take care of the kids or, if they're slightly older, tell them it's a "quiet game" and offer something if they "win."
3. Do a Quick Project to Teach Money Skills
Art projects don't need to be overly involved or messy to be fun and educational. If you have younger children, talk about how money works and the value of currency by having them draw and color their own dollar bills. You can even cut out a small headshot of your child and paste it in the middle, like the presidents on dollar bills.
4. Open a 529
Saving for college can be daunting, but it's also important because expenses are rising. Rather than get intimidated by the whole process, start with the first step: Open a 529 college savings account. You should be able to open the account online, and it should be a quick process—as long as you have all of your family's personal info at your disposal, like Social Security Numbers and dates of birth.
5. Settle on a Money Goal for the Entire Family
This is a great opportunity to talk to kids about your finances—without causing any worry. Explain that, as a family, you have a budget and it's important to stay within that budget. And if you succeed with sticking to that budget at the end of each month, it's a cause worth celebrating. Decide together what the motivation prize will be, like a pizza night. A good side effect: It gives kids a reason to stop begging for random things because they're also responsible for helping to stay on budget.
6. Make Sure That You're Doing Allowance Right
Each family's allowance structure is unique, but it's important to reassess every so often and make sure that your system grows with your child—and your family as a whole. And never lose sight of the point of allowance, which is to teach your kid good financial habits. A good rule of thumb: One dollar per year of age, so an 8-year-old might get $8.
7. Hold a Dance-Off
10 minutes. Your kids' favorite song. Maybe an old Halloween wig. Dance your pants off. Not only is this a fun, quick way to bond with the kids, but it's also a sneaky way to work a little exercise—which, for your sake, happens to release endorphins. And that, of course, can help you focus on everything from your finances to getting that promotion at work.
8. Review Your Credit Score
Your credit rating is key to future goals, including taking out a mortgage or getting a loan to start your own business. Make sure you're on track, and that there are no reporting errors, by checking your credit score online.
9. Create a Charity Box
Get kids interested in saving and giving by creating a "donation box." It can be anything from an old shoebox to a glass jar, which kids can decorate with markers and glitter glue. From there, make it a tradition to drop all loose change in the charity box, and let your kids help you choose where to donate the funds.
10. Call Someone Back
Whether it's the bank calling to confirm something about your account or you need to check the status of an invoice that you sent to an employer, phone calls are really, really easy to procrastinate on. Get your personal and financial life in order by calling back just one person today.

- Three-page printed circular letter from the American Anti-Slavery Society, soliciting donations that will support the "gratuitous distribution" of anti-slavery publications in pro-slavery areas. Followed by manuscript note from H. B. Stanton to Francis Jackson in Boston, Mass., giving a personal apppeal for funds.
- The Association for the Benefit of Colored Orphans was founded in 1836 and was originally located on Fifth Avenue between 43rd and 44th Streets in Manhattan. The Colored Orphan Asylum was among the earliest organizations in the country to provide housing, training, and employment specifically for African-American orphans. During the Draft Riots of July 14, 1863, the Colored Orphan Asylum was attacked by a mob. At that time, it housed some 600 to 800 homeless children in a large four story building surrounded by grounds and gardens. The crowd plundered the Asylum, then set fire to the first floor. The building burned to the ground. The records of the Colored Orphan Asylum document the activities of the institution from 1836 to 1972, with the bulk of the records falling between 1850 and 1936.

On TNA's current position: "As someone who is very clearly associated with and very much invested in it emotionally, I want to see it succeed, obviously. I think the business, and the television business, is an extremely competitive one. It's difficult for a lot of people and for a lot of networks. We're competing with general entertainment, we're competing for extremely valuable real estate on a very important television network that's owned by a very important media conglomerate. But I think there is a ton of potential in TNA. It's uniquely positioned to grow, and to become much larger in many ways than it is right now."
On his role behind the scenes in TNA: "My role doesn't extend to the hiring and firing or recruiting. That's the business side of TNA's business, and I'm not involved in that. My partner Jason Hervey and I are the Executive Producers of Impact. Essentially, my role is: to oversee the creative side of the production; to be involved in post-production as is necessary; to execute the creative direction and vision of each episode; to work closely with the network to make sure the TNA side of the equation understands the network's goals; and to be the liaison for TNA on the production side of things so that the network understands what our challenges are, and where we're going, and what we're trying to do. My involvement is really limited to the show itself. I'm not involved in many aspects of the business that the internet would suggest I'm involved in."
On his son Garett Bischoff becoming a pro wrestler: "I'm extremely proud of him. I'm very, very proud. It was a goal of his, something that he'd wanted to do since he was extremely young, as a child growing up - which I didn't really find out about until just a few years ago when he broke into the business. I'm very proud of him for working hard to do what he's needed to do. Clearly he had an advantage in getting into the business, I think everybody understands that, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't think that was a factor. But he also has had to overcome a lot because of who he is, and because of who I am. And he's handled that really well. But there's a part of me that knows - and I tell him this - that this is an extremely difficult business, more difficult now than it's ever been. There's really only one big place to work, and TNA is what TNA is and where they are. It's a tough career choice when there are really only two car manufacturers and one's in mass production."
His thoughts on the Internet Wrestling Community: "Unfortunately, the internet, the dirt sheets, the blogs, whatever you want to call them - a lot of them are operating with partial information. And that hurts a lot of the different parties involved. It hurts the talent in certain respects; it hurts the business in certain respects; it hurts the credibility of the people who write about things that they don't fully understand. It's unfortunate, but that's the nature of the business."

EU foreign ministers seek solution on Syria arms embargo
BRUSSELS – The European Union foreign affairs ministers will debate whether to ease sanctions against Syria to allow for weapons shipments to rebels fighting the regime of Syria's President Bashar Assad.
Britain is the most outspoken proponent of nixing the arms embargo but faces opposition from some members that feel more weapons would only increase the killings and strangle hope for a negotiated settlement, Dutch Minister Frans Timmermans said.
Assad has been using extensive firepower against lightly armed rebel factions. More than 70,000 people have died since the uprising against Assad's regime erupted in March 2011.
Meanwhile, both sides have agreed in principle to enter direct talks in Geneva next month.
The date, agenda and list of participants for the conference remain unclear, and wide gaps persist about its objectives.

Welcome to PopCopy
I went to Kinko's this week. That was my first mistake.
The Dave Chappelle Show debuted with a sketch about PopCopy, an obvious satire of Kinko's. The sketch was an employee training video that instructed their workforce to ignore patrons, tell customers that all the machines are down, and soil bathrooms with chocolate sauce to give the appearance of fecal matter. "Mmmm," Chappelle said, "poopy!"
The only Kinko's I'd previously been to had been the store near my college campus. It wasn't like the ones Chappelle was mocking because it didn't have much business; no one on campus went anywhere they didn't accept dining dollars.
I recently moved to midtown Manhattan, where there are more Kinko's than Starbucks, and there are more Starbucks than people, and there are more people in Starbucks than chairs. Tuesday, I needed to make a large laminated color poster, and so I called a nearby Kinko's and asked if they could do it that night.
"Sure," they said. "Bring it down."
I had called the Kinko's on Lexington and 54th street, but accidentally walked over to the Kinko's on Lexington between 53rd and 54th. Jimmy, who'd been a proud member of the Kinko's team since January, 2003, forwarded me to the other store. I soon found out that "sure" meant "we may get it done by closing" and "bring it down" meant "tomorrow."
The next day, I got a call saying my poster was ready. What they meant was that if I came down, they'd prepare the poster for me right then since it only takes three minutes anyway.
While a bit annoyed at having to wait a day and make two trips, this was still not enough to convince me that Kinko's was part of the evil empire. And so I went back the next day for a new project. This was my second mistake.
When Kinko's was founded, the employees were instructed that the customer is always right. Now that they have close to a monopoly on copying services, the employees are instructed that the customer is always there.
I needed to print two color pages on card stock and fax one sheet of paper I'd previously printed. This time Sam, whose seniority extended back to December of 2002, told me that he was too busy to print the job himself, but he happily placed the cardstock in the printer tray for me. And by "happily," I mean "hatefully because his poor life choices led him to work at Kinko's."
I needed to wait for a computer to free up. There were three available, but one didn't print, one had no disk drive, and the last one looked fine, but an out of order sign was blocking the keyboard.
Finally my turn, I asked my documents to please print and they, in turn, asked me if I was sure. I told them I was, and they asked me if I was sure sure. Once I assured them that I was sure sure, they still wanted to know if I'd accept the charges that I'd twice told them I'd accept. This was very kind of my documents, since the computer was charging me three hundred dollars per minute for this conversation.
After all of this, the paper jammed. While most of the Kinko's employees ignored me, I flagged Sam down to fix the printer. He told me that the color printer didn't take cardstock, and I shouldn't have put it there.
"But you put it there!" I said.
"No I didn't," Sam said. "You must have."
"Sir," I replied. "Of the two of us, who do you think is more likely to have access to cardstock?"
Instead of realizing that the answer was "the person in the denim shirt," he suggested that I print to a regular sheet of paper and use the photocopier to get my project to cardstock.
"Great," I said. "Where's the color copier?"
"We have two of them over there," Sam replied. "But they're down."
I had nothing to show for an hour of my time other than $10 of charges on my credit card. After waiting several minutes for an attendant, they credited my $10 back, and told me to send my fax at the self-service machine. Which necessitated my getting back in line to pay for it. After fifteen minutes of waiting in line to unsuccessfully give them a dollar fifty, I grabbed the arm of an employee walking by.
"I just wanted to let you know that I've given you an hour and a half of my life," I said, "and all you've given me is a one page fax. Now I'm going to leave, and I'm not going to pay you for that fax."
"I understand," he said. "I apologize for the delays, and hope that you leave here today with a positive opinion of Kinko's."
"Mmmm," I said, as I balled up the receipt for the fax. "Poopy."

Dorms Must Accept 'Emotional Support' Dogs, HUD Says
College freshman suffering from separation anxiety, take heart: The federal government says universities have an obligation to admit "emotional support" animals into school housing.
Unlike service animals, which are trained to perform tasks to assist people with disabilities, emotional support animals (dogs, mostly) provide therapy through companionship and affection.
Housing providers must offer people with disabilities a "reasonable accommodation" for emotional support animals under both the Fair Housing Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1974, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development said in a notice to its regional offices late last month.
The laws apply to a range of public and private housing, including. . . . .

EDMONTON - That Food: Mesquite Grilled Lois Lake Salmon, seared scallops & prawns, root vegetable gnocchi, ice wine emulsion; $36 at Wildflower
Wildflower has quietly established itself as one of Edmonton's top restaurants and Chef Nathin Bye as one of the city's finest and most enthusiastic chefs. Bye, a two-time Gold Medal Plates city champion, speaks passionately about freshness and innovation and endeavours to reflect these qualities on his menu through the use of quality, Canadian ingredients.
Bye receives deliveries of the sustainably farmed salmon from B.C.'s Lois Lake three to four times per week to ensure freshness. The fish is cleaned and broken down in-house to ensure quality and consistency.
The six-ounce fillets are seasoned with fleur de sel and freshly cracked black pepper, brushed with a honey, charred jalapeno, dill glaze and placed on the mesquite grill. The salmon is cooked to medium and finished with lemon and an ice wine emulsion consisting of ice wine, verjus (the pressed juice of unripened grapes has a sweet-tart taste) and butter.
The delicate salmon's flavour is complemented well by the slightly caramelized glaze, while the citrus and ice wine emulsion add brightness, acidity and length to the finish.
The salmon is plated with a two-oz. day-boat scallop, two B.C. prawns and house-made, root-vegetable gnocchi.
This Wine: Etude Estate Chardonnay 2010, Carneros, Calif.; six-oz. glass: $15, bottle: $75
A very intriguing and alluring wine with wonderfully fresh aromas and flavours of stone fruit, pear, apple, quince and spice with great minerality, elegant complexity, full mouth-feel and touch of acidity on the long, bright, generous finish. A fantastic example of a California Chardonnay that is rich, but still fresh, and built to go with food.
The wine works so well with the delicate flavours of the Lois Lake salmon, which possesses pale peach flesh and is less bold in colour and flavour than sockeye, for example. The glaze, citrus finish and hint of sweet spice and smoke all contribute to enhance the complexity of the wine and work to bring out the multi-faceted flavour nuances of both the wine and the fish.
Just as the Lois Lake salmon is sustainably farmed, Etude follows ecologically sound viticultural practices to enhance the quality of fruit in the vineyards. This allows winemaker Jon Priest the ability to create wines with a sense of place with minimal intervention. Priest beautifully reflects the cool climate of Carneros through the wine's vibrancy, while still maintaining the rich, ripe fruit resulting from the heat of the California sun.

Alter The Jacket
I am a personal development blogger and am looking to release my first major product launch in the summer. The book is about changing your life and I have great content and now need great graphics.
My customers will be aged between 20 - 45, male and female, working and looking to change some aspect of their life to better themselves.
I am looking for an e-book cover which will incorporate the name of the product:
Main Title: Alter The Jacket
Subtitle: Altering the jacket of life to fit YOU
This is a life changing book and shows people why other self help books haven't worked and why this one will by showing them how to look at certain aspects of their lives to change. It is a serious book so no cartoons or anything that will make it look childish in any way and I don't want children depicted on the cover.
The typeface is up to you as I don't quite know how this should look.
I am picturing something like an oversized jacket in some way, possibly on a stick figure or 3d stick figure (just my own thoughts, open to new ideas).
The files I require are:
Print file: PDF
Web file format: jpeg and PNG
I have attached a file of an image I had made myself but it was not good at all but you will see my thinking.

Just for Laughs Chicago delivers 100 shows, six days of comedy
Come Tuesday, it'll be all smiles around Chicago for awhile.
That's when the fifth annual TBS Just for Laughs Chicago comedy festival kicks off, featuring nearly 200 performers in 100 shows at eight venues across Chicago. The event runs through Sunday, June 16.
Some of comedy's biggest names will perform, including Bill Maher, Seth Meyers, Russell Brand and Bob Newhart -- and that's just at The Chicago Theatre. Other high-profile hot spots hosting performers include Park West, The Vic, UP Comedy Club, Jokes and Notes and Stage 773.
In 2009, the Just for Laughs group partnered with comedy TV station TBS to produce a festival in Chicago, where many comedians have started their careers. Today, it's the country's single largest comedy festival, showcasing the industry's biggest stars and emerging talent.
"Chicago is known for its comedy," said Christine Melko-Ross, a festival spokeswoman. "It has so many great comedic performers, and it was just a natural fit. It's been a really great experience, and people have embraced the festival."
Included in the performer lineup are several comedians with suburban roots, including Matt Walsh, who graduated from Hinsdale South High School, and Kyle Kinane, an Addison Trail High School graduate who can be seen on Comedy Central.
Walsh now stars on the HBO comedy series "Veep." A founding member of the Upright Citizens Brigade theater and sketch/improv group, he has written and created several TV shows including "Players" and "Dog Bites Man" and had roles in hit comedies such as "Ted," "The Hangover," "Old School" and "Elf."
He also co-hosts -- along with fellow Chicagoans Horatio Sanz, Brad Morris and Joe Nunez -- the Bear Down Podcast, which provides commentary on the Chicago Bears and sports celebrities. As part of the festival, the men will host a live performance at 10:30 p.m. on June 12 at UP Comedy Club.
Though Walsh, who discovered a love of improv at Northern Illinois University, now lives in Beverly Hills, his hometown roots are still strong. "I gravitate toward Chicago people," he says. "People are nice and modest and things like that."
His three kids -- ages 6, 4 and 18 months -- also help keep him in check. They find him funny, but "not as funny as I think I am," he says. "They think they're funnier."
Other festival highlights include a solo show by British superstar Russell Brand on June 12 at The Chicago Theatre; a Second City Alumni show featuring graduates Scott Adsit, TJ & Dave, Kevin Dorff and Jon Glaser at UP Comedy Club on June 12; and Knuckleheads, a night of sketch, improv and more with "Saturday Night Live" newcomers Tim Robinson, Cecily Strong and Aidy Bryant June 13 through 15.
There also will be an advance screening of "The Heat" with director Paul Feig at the Kerasotes ShowPlace ICON on June 11. The movie stars Sandra Bullock and Plainfield native Melissa McCarthy as mismatched law enforcement officials who join forces to take down a drug lord.
Stage 773 is a new venue this year, with organizers aiming to keep some performances closer together. With four theaters in its complex, it will host more than 60 of the festival's shows. "We're putting together a variety of different shows to try to create a festival-central place," Melko-Ross says. "We're calling it a hub, a hangout of different shows."
The complex will be able to live-stream shows and act as a digital headquarters. It's a first step in organizers' goal of revolutionizing how festivals are experienced, she says, so people can also enjoy shows from home.
The best part about producing comedy is that people leave shows feeling happy, Melko-Ross says. Another goal is for the audience to discover something new. "We're proud of that part, the discovery of someone they might not know," she says. "We're always trying to get our audience to experience new types of humor."
TBS Just for Laughs ChicagoLocations: Shows are at a variety of Chicago locations, including the Chicago Theatre, 175 N. State St.; The Vic Theatre, 3145 N. Sheffield Ave.; Park West, 322 W. Armitage; and UP Comedy Club, 230 W. North Ave. For others, see justforlaughschicago.com.
Tickets: Prices vary by performer. Tickets for the Chicago Theatre are available at ticketmaster.com or (800) 745-3000. For others, as well as a full schedule, go to justforlaughschicago.com.

Skiltec is a startup IT consultancy based in the UK, primarily focused on database technologies. Skiltec are young, bright & dynamic.
Traditionally databases are quite a dull area of the industry. Skiltec are very different to this - hence we are looking for a bold & sharp yet professional corporate identity.
Primarily the target audience will see the logo via the website (a shell is up at http://www.skiltec.co.uk using Wordpress). People viewing this will be primarily IT professionals, consultants, middle/senior management professionals
Stable, authoritative, responsible, experienced, professional, pragmatic, positive
The logo will form the identity for skiltec.co.uk. A good design is likely to meet with further work for another startup which has an affinity with Skiltec. The colours do not need to match the website necessarily as the website can be changed easily. Please do not base the logo on the existing website. I want the website to based around the logo.
Bold, sharp logo design, easily recognisable, simple
- Should work across multiple media (screen, video, paper)
- I'd like to see a typeface choice that is quite thick/bold because it'll need to work nicely on video (Compression from Youtube and mobile video isn't kind to complicated graphics)
- One or two colours -- by all means use multiple colours.
- Bright
- Should work in black and white too
- We'd like to see the words 'Skiltec' feature in the identity next to some kind of mark/logo (perhaps database / IT related?).
- Please be creative, we want something original, not a copy of something already done.
- To give you an idea of the kind of logos that we like I have put together a short list of websites below in similar industries that have the kind of fresh sharp logo we are after:

TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - May 1, 2017) - Amfil Technologies, Inc. (
The Roto-Gro automated rotary hydroponic system was designed, developed, and manufactured in Canada in 2006. The system has been recognised by several cannabis producers and distributors in Canada, Europe and the US and has an established client base, including Canadian based Nutrilife Products, being one of its largest customers with sales to the group already exceeding 600 units. They have also recently entered into an agreement with EuroAg Corporation for the supply of 240 Roto-Gro Units over a 12-month period. The company recently debuted on the Australian Stock Exchange through IPO in February 2017.
The Roto-Gro system is an automated rotary hydroponic vertical farming system designed for use in the rapidly growing medical marijuana industry. The Roto-Gro system was developed in 2006 and is based on a flood and drain system. Plants are inserted into "quick drain trays", then inserted into a motorized wheel which revolves the plants 24 hours a day around centre-fixed grow lights. Through gravitropism and many other features, plants experience accelerated growth rates. The compression resulting from the rotation results in plants with more internodes and better flavour profiles. Their patent-pending design is also configured to be stackable. The ability to stack multiple units vertically within a compact footprint, together with a rotational growing bed provides a growing area equivalent to approximately ten times that of a conventional 'flatbed' hydroponic system. These efficiencies result in significantly greater crop yields per square foot and consume approximately 40% less electricity than other hydroponic systems. The system has also been designed to deliver fluids, nutrients, and carbon dioxide more effectively and efficiently than conventional growing systems. Additionally, through the agreement with GROzone, the Roto-Gro system will also deliver ozone through the integrated EcoPro3 Antimicrobial System, resulting in the ability to offer cultivators an all encompassing, highly efficient, and eco-friendly system to produce medical grade marijuana.
As previously mentioned, future growth strategies include expansion into the food sector, targeting areas challenged by factors such as climate, contaminated water sources, making it difficult to grow crops utilizing traditional farming methods. The GROzone systems were developed from existing technology which has been successfully utilized in the food and beverage industry for over 20 years, providing units for major companies such as Pepsi, Sun Pacific and Nestle. The GROzone management team intends to use their technical knowledge, expertise, and proven track record in the industry to further grow and expand the reach of both companies moving forward. A number of synergies between the two companies are being explored and the respective management teams are anticipating a unified expansion of both entities as a direct result of this strategic partnership.
The immediate action would be to provide clients currently utilizing the Roto-Gro system with the option of upgrading their setups by adding the GROzone EcoPro3 Antimicrobial system allowing them to complete their growing facilities with an all encompassing and automated system. The EcoPro3 technical team has calibrated a system to integrate specifically with the current rotary hydroponic systems. This would ensure a smooth transition for current users, whilst adding the peace of mind of an organic antimicrobial solution to eliminate the risks associated with contamination. Further to the EcoPro3 upgrade for current users, the companies aim to develop, manufacture and distribute a fully integrated hydroponic system, aiming to be the global leader in hydroponic technology, providing the only hydroponic system to provide full automation of plant rotation, nutrient delivery, hydration, and fully organic antimicrobial and sanitation process, completely eliminating the risks associated with contaminated crops due to mold, pathogens and pesticides . All of this, combined with greatly reduced floor space requirements, reduced water and electrical requirements, larger yields, as well as bigger, stronger, faster growing plants which have already been produced using the patent pending Roto-Gro rotary design.
Amfil Technologies, Inc. intends to continue their mission to eradicate contamination issues and completely eliminate the use of chemicals and pesticides in the production of all medical marijuana products. Roto-Gro will be receiving the first unit(s) currently in development by Amfil Technologies Inc. in the coming weeks. Amfil Technologies Inc. is very excited to be working with a leading technology provider such as Roto-Gro World Wide Inc. to further enhance and sustain the Roto-Gro system as the most cutting edge hydroponic system in the world that is available to the market. We will keep shareholders informed on the progress as it develops.
Related News:
Further to the recent launch of the EcoPrO3 GROzone Antimicrobial System, Amfil Technologies, Inc. is in discussions with a number of companies regarding purchase and integration of the unit. As significant contracts materialize, our shareholders will be updated on the progress for this subsidiary which is expected in the near future.

1). Snakes & Lagers Inc. holds the trade name and is the owner of Snakes & Lattes Inc. which currently operates a 6,000 sq. ft. and a 7,500 sq. ft. tabletop gaming bar and café located in Toronto, Ontario that brought in over $7M CDN in revenue last year. It is in the process of opening a third location at 10,000 sq. ft., the largest to date. Snakes & Lagers Inc. is also the procurement officer of all existing and future Snakes & Lattes Inc. franchises and has the exclusive rights to sell franchise locations globally.

For more information on Snakes & Lattes Inc. feel free to visit the website at www.snakesandlattes.com
2). The GROzone System was jointly developed between Amfil Tech and A.C.T.S. Inc. which recently rebranded its technology under Advanced Ozone Integration as an extension of the existing ozone technology being utilized in the food and beverage industry and integrated by A.C.T.S. into companies such as Pepsi, Nestle, Sysco, Sun Pacific and many others. GROzone is a triple-function sanitization unit capable of naturally eliminating 99.9% of water and airborne pathogens and the typically problematic pests that wreak havoc for cultivators (like aphids, whiteflies and spider mites), as well as bacteria, fungus, microbes and mold on surfaces, all without chemicals. The unit can also constantly regulate a given facility's water supply, oxygenating the water and maintaining a consistent PPM infusion of ozone that prevents the formation of algae, bacteria or mold (allowing for comprehensive water recycling), simultaneously removing the need to use pesticides and/or dangerous, often carcinogenic products to treat production problems, as is common throughout the industry today. This environmentally-friendly solution also eliminates odors, while slightly reducing the air temperature, lowering energy consumption by the HEPA filtration and HVAC systems and could potentially allow for a facilities process to be labeled certified organic in the U.S.A. when the crop is no longer considered illegal on the federal level, otherwise "Clean Green" or "Certified Kind" in the meantime. The GROzone unit recently passed product review by a registered USDA certifying agent for use in California as well as Pennsylvania and surrounding states. More information on the GROzone line of products can be found on the www.grozone.biz website.
3). Interloc-Kings Inc. is a hardscape construction company servicing the Greater Toronto Area. This subsidiary is an authorized Unilock installer, Unilock being, North America's premier manufacturer of concrete interlocking paving stones and segmental wall products.

Union Pacific Railroad and St. Louis Police Issue Three Citations at Railroad Crossings
St. Louis, Mo., June 1, 2005 Law enforcement representatives from Union Pacific Railroad and the City of St. Louis Police Department today issued three citations to motorists for highway-railroad grade crossing violations as part of a program called "Officer on the Train".
Officers also issued twelve warnings to persons trespassing on railroad property.
The St. Louis area was chosen by Union Pacific's Crossing Accident Reduction Enforcement (CARE) task force for this enforcement run because of continued violations by motorists who do not obey the warning devices at crossings in the area. The 24-member task force is made up of UP special agents who work with city, county and state police officers to enforce highway-railroad grade crossing laws.
"Officer on the Train" is part of the Operation Lifesaver program where police officers ride on trains to observe motorist behavior at highway-railroad grade crossings. If a motorist violates the grade crossing traffic laws, the officer on the train radios to an officer positioned near the crossing, who can issue the motorist a citation.
Operation Lifesaver is a national safety program supported by state and federal agencies, railroads and rail labor intended to educate the public about the dangers at highway-railroad grade crossings.
In 2004, there were 59 highway-railroad grade crossing collisions in Missouri resulting in nine fatalities and 29 injuries compared to 65 collisions resulting in nine deaths and 32 injuries in 2003.
Union Pacific Corporation owns one of America's leading transportation companies. Its principal operating company, Union Pacific Railroad, is the largest railroad in North America, covering 23 states across the western two-thirds of the United States. A strong focus on quality and a strategically advantageous route structure enable the company to serve customers in critical and fast growing markets. It is a leading carrier of low-sulfur coal used in electrical power generation and has broad coverage of the large chemical-producing areas along the Gulf Coast. With competitive long-haul routes between all major West Coast ports and eastern gateways, and as the only railroad to serve all six major gateways to Mexico, Union Pacific has the premier rail franchise in North America.
