10th Anniversary
The World's 50 Best Bars celebrated its 10th anniversary in New York City on February 12th, 2019, with a unique event. Since the inaugural ranking in 2009, The World's 50 Best Bars has presented 11 annual lists to guide discerning drinkers to the best international destinations and simultaneously reward outstanding talent. The World's 50 Best Bars organization oversees a body of 500 experts from across the globe whose votes make up the list each year, helping to shine a light on the most innovative and exciting developments in the cocktail world. The annual awards ceremony has been held in London since 2012.
To celebrate this milestone anniversary, a special edition of the popular #50BestTalks event took place at Guastavino's in Manhattan – the first ever 50 Best Bars event held in the US – featuring inspirational and thought-provoking talks from the six acclaimed bartenders who have led their bars to the number one spot on the list over the past decade. After their six individual presentations, the pioneers of the bar world took part in a panel discussion about the decade that was and the future to be, chaired by one of the bar sector's foremost authorities, David Wondrich. Here are some of the highlights:
Jonathan Downey, Milk & Honey, UK (The World's Best Bar 2009, 2010): "The two most important things for a great bar are the people who work there and the people who go there. We should be doing everything we can to attract and retain really great people to work with and to drink with."
Jim Meehan, Please Don't Tell, US (The World's Best Bar 2011): "I hope we'll continue to epitomise the values of our industry that I'm most proud of: hospitality, generosity, hard work, ingenuity, comradery and some new ones I'm excited to see more of: social progress, environmental consciousness and political action."
Alex Kratena, Artesian, UK (The World's Best Bar 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015): "I suggest we give bartenders the information that will make them start to think. We need to tell the young bartenders the 'why'. We've been telling them for a very long time the 'what' and the 'how', but we need to show them the inner workings and why we do what we do."
Jillian Vose, The Dead Rabbit, US (The World's Best Bar 2016): "The balance in the bar makes or breaks the guest experience as a whole. The music, the lighting, the volume in the room, the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the bartenders' uniforms, how friendly they are, how people are welcomed… Everything makes that balance. You can make great drinks, but the drinks won't taste as good as the experience."
Declan McGurk, American Bar, UK (The World's Best Bar 2017): "Storytelling is ingrained in your origins. It is a part of your start and it's one of the most important things you are taught to enjoy. Thus, relating it to what we sell is an essential part of working in a bar. You don't get a lot of time with the guest, so maybe try and turn the guest into the storyteller."
Ryan Chetiyawardana, Dandelyan, UK (The World's Best Bar 2018): "Our industry is about making people happy. It's about bringing people together and the wonderful ways food and drinks help people have a great time. But that doesn't mean it can't coexist with the idea of us doing things in a way that is conscientious. Trying to shake up these definitions is the way that we're going to build a more balanced future."

The clock tower
Built in 1824, it replaces the one of the 17th century which was built over the Town Hall because the population requested to have the official hour. It was destroyed in 1811 because it threatened houses and could'nt ring more than 19 stroke!
Fountains and oratories
On the Place de la Libération is the mossy fountain. The first fountain leaked and caused patches of black ice during winter in all bottom of the street. The fountain current date back to the 1830s. By approaching closer, we can see the "heads" of lions.
The castle of the Glandevès
Nowadays it's a private property. When in 1509 it was decided to move the village, it was also necessary to move the castle. The current castle belonged to the Lords of Cuges, the Glandevès.
On March 11th, 1509: the inhabitants are authorized by Lord Antoine of Glandevès to settle down near its fertile lands, around the new castle. All the materials from the former housing are then taken back. 16th century: the heart of the village reconstructed around the castle of Glandevès, situation which remained the same until our days although the village developped farther in the plain.
The church
The first church of Cuges-Les-Pins was built in 1509, to its right we build in 1615 a chapel which will be the family vault of Glandevès.
Considered impractical and unsightly the first church is destroyed then reconstructed in 1869.
Inside the church, a fragment of saint Antoine's relic is carefully preserved.
Threshing floor
An area rehabilitated with an exceptional sight in a place steeped in history.
This area paved by stones, facing the sun and permanently crossed by light drafts, allowed to beat the grain to separate it from the ear.
The Saint Antoine chapel
Overhanging the village, it was built in 1896, at the location of the former castle's chapel, by the famous architect from Marseille MONNIER.
The way up to the chapel and the sight on the plain will "take your breath away".
It bears the name of the holy protector and every June 13th, since seven centuries, saint Antoine de Padoue's traditional pilgrimage continues.
The municipality rehabilitated the Jas de Frédéric into a refuge on the GR 98, trail that can be followed from the Col de l'ange and the vallon de Sainte Madeleine. Numerous hikes in Sainte Baume are accessible from these two sites.
The economic activity
The culture of saffron (on "restanques") during the XIVth and XVth century, the culture of capres, during the XIXth and XXth century, give world fame to this small village.
The extraction of pitch from the XVIth to the XXth century is also an important activity because it becomes the main revenue stream during the XVIth century.
Let's not forget sericulture (silk) during the XVIIIth century, cades (an oven with cades in ruine still exists between the vallon de la Madeleine (valley of Madeleine)and that of Dauceran and an other on the north of the Jas de Frédéric) and the rosemary during the XVIIIth century.

A key part of university life this section provides guidance for both staff and students around the topic of Assessment.
eAssessment is the end-to-end electronic assessment processes where ICT is used for the presentation of assessment activity, and the recording of responses. This includes the end-to-end assessment process from the perspective of learners, tutors, learning establishments, awarding bodies and regulators, and the general public.
JISC/QCA definition of eAssessment: (JISC), Joint Information Systems Committee. Effective Practice with e-Assessment: An Overview of Technologies, Policies and Practice in Further and Higher Education. Joint Information Systems Committee, 2007.
What is EMA?
Electronic management of assessment (EMA) is a term increasingly used to describe the way technology is used across the assessment lifecycle to support the electronic submission, making, and feedback of work to students.
The educational sector has begun to see the benefits in using technology to support and streamline these processes, including assessment scheduling, assignment submission, managing mitigating circumstances, the approval of extensions, plagiarism detection and academic integrity, academic misconduct processes, examinations, mark recording, managing external examiners and moderation.
Benefits of EMA
The exact benefits afforded will depend upon the electronic processes that an institution adopts, though these will include both pedagogic benefits and administrative efficiencies.
Research is showing the overall students have a preference for EMA though a minority will need additional support due to access and accessibility needs.
For an institution an EMA can save a considerable amount administrative time associated with the receiving, processing, distributing and filing/archiving of assignments.
The Drawbacks
As with any process there is no single perfect way and the overall value of EMS depends very much on the organisational context.
EMA is much easier to apply to the traditional assessment types (text based submissions). Assessments requiring formulas and notation (maths, music etc.), multimedia content (audio, video, HTML etc.), images (cartography, art and design) or performances and presentations are currently not able to be submitted and processed through the system. There are workarounds though which should not preclude you from setting this type of assessment.
The research suggests that though students and administrative staff are quick to see the benefits of EMA academic staff have a much more mixed view. Concerns about any changes to working practice that could impact accessibility, health and safety, time all need to be addressed. In many of these instances technology can also provide a solution.
Jisc's detailed guide to change management includes strategies relating to EMA.

This is what 'dumping' US Treasurys looks like.MORE
- It's NOT talked about much by the teleprompter readers and talking heads, in fact it's almost as big an open secret as the FED buying most of the US debt these days to compensate for the shrinking foreign demand for Treasurys/Bonds [read: debt].
The Chinese and Russians are NOT stupid people.

Civilization In The West, Volume Ii: Since 1555, Chapters 14-30 (4Th Edition)
- Publish Date: 2000-08-15
- Binding: Paperback
- Author: Mark A. Kishlansky;Patrick Geary;Patricia O'Brien;Mark Kishlansky
Civilization in the West blends social and political history into a fascinating narrative that brings history to life. The authors tell a compelling story of Western Civilization that is enhanced by an image-based approach. Pictorial chapter openers draw students in by illustrating a dominant theme of the chapter and exploring the dramatic impression each image makes in reinforcing that theme. The presentation of geography guides students around the changing contours of the West through both standard maps and Geographic Tours of Europe. The greater number of maps and tours combine to make this text the strongest possible program for teaching historical geography (151 total maps, as compared to Chambers, the second highest, at 106). The addition of Discovering Western Civilization Online (new end-of-chapter website URLs) makes this the first Western Civilization book to date to include these resources.

Every pet owner claims their animal is a member of the family and they are an essential companion for thousands of long-haul truckers. In fact, prior to 1987 when the IRS first required dependent Social Security Numbers it was not uncommon for taxpayers to claim their pets as dependents. With U.S. pet owners spending an estimated $60 billion in 2015 on their animals it understandable that taxpayers may want to recoup some of their pet expenses with a creative medical expense tax deduction[i]. To counter the urge to claim Fido as a tax deduction the IRS has promulgated guidance on what type of animals qualify.
Whether Fido is a Service Animal, Emotional Support Animal or Guard Dog in accordance with IRS regulations is critical in determining the deductibility of pet-related expenses.
Note: I found dozens of websites pitching "Service Animal" registration services; all with variations on what disabilities qualified for the tax-deductible classification. My purpose is to analyze the tax implications and not to evaluate the merits of the service animal designation. Therefore, the below discussion (where applicable) uses definitions under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA).
Service Dog:
Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability.
- The expenses associated with a Service Dog are likely deductible as a medical expense.
Emotional Support Dog:
Emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals are not considered service animals under the ADA. The types of emotional conditions that may require the assistance of an ESD are PTSD, anxiety and depression.
- The expenses associated with an Emotional Support Dog are likely not deductible as a medical expense.
Guard Dog:
There is scant guidance on the deductibility of guard dogs, however, it is clear they do not meet the statutory requirement to qualify under Internal Revenue Code 213.
- The expenses associated with a Guard Dog may be deductible to a business but not as a medical expense.
- An individual taxpayer cannot claim a Guard Dog as a deductible medical expense.
Tax Law Discussion:
Whether the costs of buying, training, and maintaining a service animal to assist individuals with mental health disabilities qualify for the medical expense deduction under § 213 of the Internal Revenue Code. The costs of buying, training, and maintaining a service animal to assist an individual with mental disabilities may qualify as medical care if the taxpayer can establish that the taxpayer is using the service animal primarily for medical care to alleviate a mental defect or illness and that the taxpayer would not have paid the expenses but for the disease or illness.
IRS Chief Counsel Note:
A taxpayer who claims that an expense of a peculiarly personal nature is primarily for medical care must establish that fact. The courts have looked toward objective factors to determine whether an otherwise personal expense is for medical care:
- the taxpayer's motive or purpose for making the expenditure,
- whether a physician has diagnosed a medical condition and recommended the item as treatment or mitigation,
- linkage between the treatment and the illness, treatment effectiveness, and proximity in time to the onset or recurrence of a disease. Havey v. Commissioner, 12 T.C. 409 (1949).
- The taxpayer also must establish that the expense would not have been paid "but for" the disease or illness.
A personal expense is not deductible as medical care if the taxpayer would have paid the expense even in the absence of a medical condition. Commissioner v. Jacobs, 62 T.C. 813 (1974). [ii]
IRS Guidance: Guide Dog or Other Service Animals[iii]
How Much of the Expenses Can You Deduct?
You can include in medical expenses the costs of buying, training, and maintaining a guide dog or other service animal to assist a visually impaired or hearing disabled person, or a person with other physical disabilities. In general, this includes any costs, such as food, grooming, and veterinary care, incurred in maintaining the health and vitality of the service animal so that it may perform its duties.
Where to claim the deduction?
Generally, you can deduct on Schedule A, Itemized Deductions (Form 1040) only the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 7.5% of your adjusted gross income (AGI). However, with tax reform drastically increasing the Standard Deduction ($12,000 Single, $24,000 Married) most taxpayers will not have sufficient itemized deductions to warrant pursuing a tax break for their pet expenses.
- Example:
- AGI of $50,000
- You spent $10,000 on service animal expenses
- 7.5% of $50,000 = $3,750
- $10,000 - $3,750 = $6,250 deduction for service animal related expenses
- A business cannot claim a deduction for a guide dog or other service animal.
What is the IRS definition of a Service Dog?
The IRS does not offer a definition, but guidance can be gleaned from the Americans With Disability Act (ADA). Under the ADA, a service animal is defined as a dog that has been individually trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability. The task(s) performed by the dog must be directly related to the person's disability.
- Hearing Dogs– Alert the deaf to different sounds, alarms, etc.
- Guide Dogs– Used by those that are visually impaired to help them navigate around obstacles, through a crowd, etc.
- Mobility Dogs– Provides support and does tasks for those with limited mobility or with balance issues.
- Psychiatric Service Dogs – Provides support for invisible mental illnesses. These dogs alert or calm their owners in need.
- Medical Alert Dogs – Alerts their owners before an attack, seizure, or drop in blood sugar.[iv]
What does "do work or perform tasks" mean?
The dog must be trained to take a specific action when needed to assist the person with a disability. For example, a person with diabetes may have a dog that is trained to alert him when his blood sugar reaches high or low levels. A person with depression may have a dog that is trained to remind her to take her medication. Or, a person who has epilepsy may have a dog that is trained to detect the onset of a seizure and then help the person remain safe during the seizure.
Are emotional support, therapy, comfort, or companion animals considered service animals under the ADA?
No. These terms are used to describe animals that provide comfort just by being with a person. Because they have not been trained to perform a specific job or task, they do not qualify as service animals under the ADA.
If someone's dog calms them when having an anxiety attack, does this qualify it as a service animal?
It depends. The ADA makes a distinction between psychiatric service animals and emotional support animals. If the dog has been trained to sense that an anxiety attack is about to happen and take a specific action to help avoid the attack or lessen its impact, that would qualify as a service animal. However, if the dog's mere presence provides comfort, that would not be considered a service animal under the ADA.
Does the ADA require service animals to be professionally trained?
No. People with disabilities have the right to train the dog themselves and are not required to use a professional service dog training program.
Can service animals be any breed of dog?
Yes. The ADA does not restrict the type of dog breeds that can be service animals.
Can a business deduct the expenses associated with a Guard Dog?
The absence of specific guidance from IRS compels a taxpayer to evaluate the appropriateness of claiming a tax deduction for expenses related to a guard dog used to protect a truck that is constantly on the move as opposed to a drop-yard or terminal. Kay Bell writing for Bankrate.com provided a great analysis,
"That "Beware of dog" sign in your business's window is no idle threat. Break-ins have stopped since you set up a place for your Rottweiler to stay overnight. In this case, the IRS would likely be amenable to business deduction claims of the animal's work-related expenses.
Standard business deduction rules still apply, notably that the cost of keeping an animal on work premises is ordinary and necessary in your line of business. Once you show that, the dollars spent each year keeping your pooch in good guard condition — food, vet bills and training — would be deductible as a business expense.
As with all deductions, be prepared to provide full and accurate records of your animal's hours on the job. You'll also find your tax claim more acceptable when you demonstrate how the animal protects your livelihood's inventory. In addition, as is often the case with business property, the dog must be depreciated, a way of allocating its cost over its useful life for IRS purposes.
Keep in mind, too, that your claims carry more weight when your pet is a breed that's typically used for such jobs. So even though your Chihuahua has a loud bark, your tax claim is more credible if your guard dog is a German shepherd, Doberman pinscher or a similar imposing breed".[v]
Every pet owner claims their animal is a member of the family and an essential companion for thousands of long-haul truckers. The IRS disagrees. It understandable that taxpayers may want to recoup some of their pet expenses with a tax deduction, but with the overall value of the deduction is limited due to the 7.5% of AGI offsetting most expenses. Furthermore, extensive rules have been promulgated to insure only qualifying animal expenses can be deducted and taxpayers risk the wrath of the IRS if they get too creative interpreting those regulations.

The purpose of this Share Offer is to raise £340,000 in community shares to fund the acquisition and development of affordable, low-impact, agro-ecological smallholdings.
Business founded
The Ecological Land Co-operative was set up to address the lack of affordable smallholding sites for ecological land-based livelihoods in England. Read more
The Ecological Land Co-operative is looking to raise £340,000 through this offer to purchase two additional sites and develop them into providing six affordable, low impact smallholdings for ecological agriculture.
December 2017
3% interest per year
Improving the ecology and biodiversity of marginal agricultural land, creating opportunities for low-impact livelihoods and improving the resilience of communities through local food production.
Director - Planning
Director – Outreach
The Ecological Land Co-operative seeks to widen access to land for sustainable use through the creation of affordable low-impact smallholdings. The high costs of land and rural housing make it near impossible for new entrants to farming to establish a farm business. By providing affordable and secure smallholdings, we are helping to address this crisis.
Those who benefit include Co-op members, the broader networks of environmental and agricultural activists, stewards (smallholders), the physical communities in which smallholding sites are located and the wider public.

Michael Keane knows the importance of backing up Saturday's win with another three points this Tuesday evening.
After four draws on the spin, Rovers returned to winning ways at the weekend with a hardworking 2-0 win over fellow play-off chasing Ipswich Town.
Queens Park Rangers are next at Ewood Park, and the on-loan defender knows it is imperative that Rovers make it back-to-back victories.
"We've had some good performances lately but we've not been able to turn them into wins, so to finally do that at the weekend was good and hopefully we can kick on now," Keane told Rovers Player.
"It was my first clean sheet since I've been here. I think in general we've been defending well but just conceding silly goals which we should easily cut out and thankfully we managed to do that."
Rovers go into this evening's match off the back of a six-game unbeaten run, but whilst Keane is eager to stretch that further, he knows it won't be easy against a Queens Park Rangers side still harbouring ambitions of going up directly.
"There are still six games to go and a lot of points to play for so you never know," added the defender.
"We go into every game feeling we can win it, so there's no reason why we can't win four, five or even six in a row. We need to get a few wins on the bounce and see where we are after that.
"Tuesday will be a big test, they've obviously got a lot of experienced players who have played in the Premier League in the past so it will be good to test ourselves against these types of players as that is where we want to be eventually.
"We are all looking forward to it, it should be a good game and hopefully we can get a good result."
Tickets for the match are on open sale until the 7.45pm kick-off with prices from £15 Adults, £10 Seniors and £5 Juniors. Book online today at www.onerovers.co.uk and collect on the day of the game from the Blackburn End collection point.

You may all be wondering where I have been. Well sit back, relax and I will tell you about the last few months of my life. Let me just say that it has been a very trying for me and as I venture forth into this new year, I am having to adjust to the absence of someone in my life and it has been an interesting transition that is still happening to me.
If you have been keeping up with my blog, you will know that in July I had to make a difficult choice. A choice that left me feeling all sorts of emotions but the main one was guilt. I had to make the decision whether to put my Mom in hospice care or not. I chose hospice because her liver disease had reached the point that she was in incredible pain and that was the only way to get the medication that would give her some relief. Once the decision was made her health began to really deteriorate. We had also made the decision to remove her from all medications that were no longer helping her. We also chose to stop her diabetic blood draws because she had always been a difficult stick, and as each new blood test came she would be fearful of the pain.
My guilt came from wondering if I had held off she might be a bit more lucid, better able to engage with the friends and family that came to visit. Once she began the pain medication, she began sleeping a lot. It also seemed to enhance her dementia because she began to have trouble recognizing all of us. Here again, my guilt was pinged because it was tearing my niece apart to see her only remaining Grandmother not be able to say "I love you" to her. It became a common thing to see my niece run out of Mom's room with tears in her eyes as her heart broke anew with each visit.
Five days after Thanksgiving and one hour before her seventy-fifth birthday; my Mom passed away. We had been talking about how we hoped she would make it to such a milestone age but in my Mom's true fashion she missed the mark. The nurse who called to let me know said she didn't suffer. She just went to sleep and then she was gone. At that point, it was still fresh and as I got dressed to go sit with her while we waited for the funeral home to arrive, I was a bit in shock but also relieved. After ten plus years of living with terminal liver disease, her pain was truly over and as bad as this sounds; I was free.
Yes, I said it and that is what I felt. A burden had been lifted from my shoulders that I hadn't realized was so heavy until it was gone. I am no longer trapped by a promise. I can leave and not worry who is going to take care of Mom. It is a revelation. I am still figuring out just what this means for me. Do I stay here or do I start making plans to leave? I will have time to find out because I have to save money before anything can happen.
I notice subtle differences between now and when I lost my Dad. Yet the biggest one is I have yet to lose a single tear. After my Dad died, I cried all of the time. I felt abandoned and lonely. My ex-husband told me that I even cried in my sleep. I still catch myself sobbing like an overgrown baby when something happens to remind me of him. I don't know if it is because I have known Mom was going to pass and had time to prepare or if I'm just a cold heartless bitch. I have almost broken down a few times but yet something always prevents me from my release of grief. I wonder if my sense of relief has overshadowed my grief. I just don't know. I may never know.
I do know that life goes on and even though we miss those who have gone before, that we still have our life to live. I am learning to live again without worry for my Mom as my companion. I no longer worry about always having my phone attached to my hip just in case there is a call concerning her. As I said before this is freedom. It even scares me a little to know that my life is my own once again. I am determined to rediscover myself. I am prepared for the next chapter in my life. With each new day, I awaken ready to take on all challenges.
I hope you keep journeying with me as I go forward and stay tuned for my next post which will let you know my goals for the coming year. Until then I hope you love fully and laugh often.

Sudan University received the AQRM Evaluation Certificate.
As part of the HAQAA Initiative, Sudan University of Science and Technology is selected among 15 institutions where institutional evaluations were conducted in 2017, utilizing the African Quality Rating Mechanism – AQRM – as a key evaluation tool. The 15 institutions selected are from different African regions, and have the opportunity to participate in a training workshop that helped to guide their institutional assessment process. For selected institutions, the self-rating (AQRM survey) of the institutions were validated by international external reviewers through site visits (1 per institution). The external reviewer from the European Union and the African Union attended at the university in July 2017 for conducting both institutional level evaluation as well as program level evaluation.
The outcomes of the AQRM exercise is delivered in an evaluation report that is made public as a means to further promote AQRM in Africa and also, more generally, transparency around institutional quality culture. It is expected that the institutions that participate will have a valuable opportunity to enhance their internal QA procedures and 'quality culture' and contribute to the African higher education harmonization objectives more broadly.

A three-day joint forces project targeting unsafe commercial vehicles concluded Thursday with the majority of vehicles checked failing their inspection.
From Aug. 14 to 17, Lethbridge Police, along with Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, the Calgary Police Service, Community Peace Officers, Alberta Sheriffs and Alberta Tax and Revenue Administration, checked a total of 179 commercial vehicles to determine compliance with safety regulations. Of those, 75 per cent failed the inspection and 56 per cent were immediately placed out of service. Mechanical issues, such as defective or ineffective brakes, equipment problems and cargo securement were the most common violations.
Failure and out of service rates are slightly higher this year compared to last year.

CFPB sues lender for false claims of gov't affiliation
WASHINGTON (2/17/15)--Three mortgage companies alleged to have misled consumers about U.S. government approval of its products are the subject of action taken last week by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
All Financial Services, American Preferred Lending and Flagship Financial Group are alleged to have imitated U.S. government notices, a violation of the Mortgage Acts and Practices Advertising Rule.
The CFPB is suing All Financial Services, a reverse mortgage lender, for advertisements that misrepresented that the source was, or was affiliated with, a governmental entity.
The CFPB is also ordering Flagship Financial Group and American Preferred Lending to end their false advertising. Flagship allegedly implied its Department of Veterans Affairs loans were endorsed or sponsored by the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
American Preferred Lending allegedly sent mailings that appeared as if they were U.S. government notices, with a Federal Housing Administration-approved lending logo and a reference to a federal government website.
According to the CFPB, these actions were taken as a result of a joint review of roughly 800 randomly selected mortgage ads around the country.

Extended support for Windows 7 will end on January 14, 2020. That means the operating system will no longer receive software updates, putting users at significant risk for cyber breaches and crashes. In addition to potentially costly issues, Microsoft will charge users a monthly fee for each device using Windows 7 after the cutoff date.
But, if your business still operates on Windows 7, don't worry — you're in good company. There's still time to transition to Windows 10 for business use before support for your current system ends, but it's important to be proactive. To take the first step towards updating your system, get in touch with us today.Take the First Step
There are many factors to consider when planning a Windows 10 corporate upgrade, and we have the experience and expertise to help your business develop the best strategy for moving forward. Here are four reasons to partner with BLM Technologies for your Windows 10 deployment services:
After January 14th, 2020, Microsoft will charge all Windows 7 users a monthly fee. Businesses will be charged for every device that still uses Windows 7 after the cutoff date. DON'T WAIT! Avoid the fees and keep your system safe by upgrading to Windows 10 today.Schedule An Upgrade
There are a few other things to consider as you prepare for the transition to Windows 10. New processors only support Windows 10, which means if you upgrade your current hardware, it may not support your current operating system. Even seventh generation processing chips, like the 7th Gen Intel Core, won't be able to run the now antiquated OS after the Windows 7 end of life.
On the flip side, processors that are more than three or four years old won't support Windows 10, which could necessitate upgrading the processors in all of your business computers before transitioning to the new system.
We can help with that, too. Our team is here to help make your Windows 10 migration easy.Upgrade Your Processors
How exactly will we get your Windows 10 migration project done? The answer is FlexForce. Our FlexForce program dispatches highly specialized technicians to your office or location, anywhere in the US. Watch how FlexForce can help with your Windows 10 upgrade and all of your other on-demand project needs:
The countdown has begun, and Windows 7 will be obsolete before we know it. The experienced team at BLM Technologies is here to help make the transition to Windows 10 for business as fast and seamless as possible. If your company has 10 or more computers that need to be updated, get started today.Call Us

So, the picture above is what I see looking down the boat. I'm so blessed to have such a great family. We went to the lake today to go fishing. It was nice and bright and a bit breezy so we didn't sweat like crazy. The stink bait was smelly and working well. Mason was the big catcher of the day. Morgan finally caught one by herself and it was a keeper! It was a great family outing.
Looking out the side of the boat, below is what I saw and sketched. That's right, I had my sketchbook–not my fishing pole!

Port of Grace Community Church
Ultimately, when we talk about being connected we're looking for something that includes, but is greater and more meaningful than just social connection. We're looking to be connected completely; physically, emotionally and spiritually, together and in Christ.
Getting Connected @ POG...
We believe that there are a few key elements to getting, staying and growing in true Christian connection.
WORSHIP...It's the glue of connectedness. This is more than just the gathering together to sing a few songs and listen to a message. We're talking about the gathering together to praise HIm for who He is, thank and remember Him for what He's done. To challenge and encourage each other to live in obedience to God's commands and to seek Him together in prayer. We must commit to the regular gathering together of God's people to worship Him, if we want to be truly connected.
GROW...we are committed to your spiritual growth. We will seek to provide opportunities for this to happen together, and individually. However, the responsbility and commitment to grow must come from you. To the degree that you commit to obedience is to the degree that you will see life change continue to happen. Your growth will have a direct impact on whether you trully get connected or not. We have many opportunities to help you grow.
SERVE GOD BY SERVING OTHERS...We have been commanded and gifted by God to serve. Service changes us by taking our eyes of ourselves and earthly things, and setting our eyes, on God, others, and heavenly things. It destroys selfishness, encourages Christ-like humility and reminds us of who we're really serving (our Father in heaven), as well as why we're serving; to build up the church, God's Kingdom, and to point others to Christ through unconditional love.
SHARE WHAT GOD IS DOING...We have a mission and a message. To be light in the darkness with the good news of Christ. Our presence where we work, live, go to school and do whatever else, should cause others to see who God is, become curious about Him, and, God-willing, to see the need in their lives for Him. We share in actions and with words. Gently and Respectfully.
SHARE LIFE TOGETHER...we believe we are to be a connected community centered on Christ. A Community where together, out of reverence for Christ, we become committed to all the "one anothers" of scritpture, where we also get to know one another, grow together and yes, even have fun together.

Monday M*A*S*H Discussions offers fans the opportunity to offer their opinions on a wide variety of topics relating to M*A*S*H. Please share your thoughts and ideas in the comments section. My hope is these discussion posts will continue to elicit comments in the weeks and months after they're initially published. Have a suggestion about something you think might be worth discussing? Let me know and maybe it will become my next Monday M*A*S*H Discussion topic.
Today's topic is: Who is your favorite recurring general?
Generals, Generals, Everywhere
Back in January, we discussed our favorite non-nurse, non-general minor characters. In April, we talked about our favorite recurring nurse. Today, it's time to consider which recurring M*A*S*H general is our favorite. The show featured four different recurring generals during its first two seasons.
First there's General Hammond, played by G. Wood. He first appears in "M*A*S*H–The Pilot," making him the original general on the show. Then there's General Barker (played by Sorrell Booke) who is featured in two episodes. Next, there's General Clayton (Herb Voland), who appears in a total of seven episodes. Confusingly, after one episode with Clayton, General Hammond returns for an additional episode. After six more episodes with General Clayton (the last four in Season 2), General Mitchell (Robert F. Simon) takes over, appearing in three episodes.
(If you watch the episodes in production order, the first three episodes feature Hammond. Then come the two Barker episodes followed by seven episodes with Clayton and finally the three with Mitchell.)
Why were the generals changed so often during these first two seasons? I don't know. Actor availability? The writers trying something new? Nor do I know why the recurring general character was dropped entirely halfway through Season 2.
Recurring Generals
General Hammond (3 episodes)
-"M*A*S*H–The Pilot"
-"To Market, to Market"
-"Henry, Please Come Home"
General Barker (2 episodes)
-"Requiem for a Lightweight"
-"Chief Surgeon Who?"
General Clayton (7 episodes)
-"Yankee Doodle Doctor"
-"Divided We Stand"
-"5 O'Clock Charlie"
-"For the Good of the Outfit"
-"Dr. Pierce and Mr. Hyde"
General Mitchell (3 episodes)
-"The Trial of Henry Blake"
-"The Incubator"
-"Officers Only"
General Mitchell is referenced in several other Season 2 episodes. After that, the recurring general disappeared from M*A*S*H. Individual episodes occasionally featured or mentioned a general, but never the same general twice.
Let's Discuss
If I had to chose, I'd probably call General Clayton my favorite recurring general. That may be because he's in the most episodes and thus we get the most time to know and appreciate him. He's friendly and levelheaded and can take a joke. I'm not a big fan of General Barker, who is a little over-the-top for my tastes. General Hammond didn't leave much of an impression on me, to be honest. And General Mitchell feels a lot like General Clayton, only played by a different actor.
Do you have a favorite recurring general? Do you wish one of the generals had stayed with the show?
Hit the comments with your thoughts.

Steve Perry completed his tenure as Dean of the Faculty of Science on June 30th. During the six years he held the position, he was recognized for his attentive listening, his compassion and his collection of stylish shoes but also for his remarkable sense of humor. So when we sat down to ask him a few questions about his tenure as Dean and what would follow, we were not expecting anything less. Here is what he had to say.
Why did you want to become dean of the Faculty of Science?
Well, to be honest, being dean was not on my bucket list. It was my intention to occupy the post for a single year as interim dean. Of course, I only realized far too late that being named interim dean is simply a clever ploy used to lure in unsuspecting rookies before "setting the hook." Seriously, working with previous dean André Lalonde and then later as interim dean convinced me of the potential for growth in Science and the positive role that a dean can play during periods of University expansion.
What was your most memorable moment or event as dean?
Hmmm, there were quite a few moments to choose from. I guess two events in particular stand out for me. First, there was the time when a first-year student nearly knocked me out by slamming a pie into my face in front of 400 cheering students in Marion Auditorium. Another, more positive, experience also occurred in Marion when I had the pleasure of introducing Bill Nye to an unsuspecting first year BIO class. His comments about "Flat Earthers" were priceless.
What was your most challenging task as dean?
Eeny, meeny, miny … Actually, the answer here is obvious. The most challenging task was figuring out how to accommodate the needs of countless numbers of staff, students and researchers while McDonald Hall and the Cube were about to be demolished. I will confess to a few moments of personal panic as I dealt with some colleagues in McDonald Hall who were forced to move out while the building was flooding and furniture was being tossed out the windows — what could go wrong? I think we all would have laughed had we had viewed such antics in a Monty Python episode.
Learning French must have been a challenge. What will you remember the most from your French classes?
Having grown up in Montreal, I already was fluently bilingual — at least in hockey parlance — which was important as a fan of the Montreal Canadiens, because the best commentators were on the French stations. French lessons with René-Étienne were fantastic — we solved the world's most pressing problems while I learned French at the same time! A turning point was adopting René's philosophy on speaking French — "When in doubt, French it out!"
What would you say is your greatest accomplishment as dean? What are you most proud of?
This question is probably best left for others to answer. I'm not sure that it can be classified as a great accomplishment, but I'm particularly proud of repatriating Biochemistry to the Faculty of Science.
The new STEM building will be opening its doors in the upcoming weeks. What will it bring to the community of the Faculty of Science?
A huge mortgage? Just kidding of course. First, I'm hopeful that STEM will become the de facto home of the Faculty of Science, a place that Science students in particular can identify with and gather in for studying, socializing, whatever! I also see STEM as an opportunity to create something unique at uOttawa in an environment that will welcome and encourage serendipity and risk-taking in both research and teaching. The time to be daring is now!
What's your wish for the future of the Faculty of Science?
Most of all, I wish for a future in which each and every building in the Faculty of Science hosts a Diet Coke dispensing machine.
What's coming next? What are your plans for the future?
After I re-learn the names of my graduate students and postdocs, I will bear down and finish (or start) writing a large pile of manuscripts that has accumulated over the past seven years. Basically, I'll be going back to something that I actually know how to do (or at least I used to) — research!
Any comment or wise words for the next dean?
Well, the advice is straightforward. When hard–pressed to explain any shortcomings in the Faculty of Science (admittedly an unlikely scenario), simply assign all blame to the previous dean!

An altogether different kind of employee wellness program
Learn about wellness programs and how they can boost employee engagement and morale in your organization.
Employee wellness programs have historically concentrated mainly on workers' health and encouraging physical activity. Nowadays, however, businesses are increasingly extending the focus to the other, more elusive factors that influence the well-being of their personnel.
This trend has given rise to a novel new concept that is rapidly gaining steam in the talent management world: the financial wellness program. It was born as a response to the fact that money issues rank together with health concerns as among the top causes of stress for employees. According to a study by accounting giant PwC, over half of workers are worried about their financial situation and one in three see it as a distraction. Within the latter group, 46 percent report that this costs them several hours of productivity per week.
Employee programs created to tackle the issue almost always focus on the same root cause: the gaps that exist in many workers' financial literacy and money skills. Data from the Society for Human Resource Management shows there's a lot to be desired in this area, with 17 percent of HR professionals saying that the personnel at their companies are "not at all financially literate". The segment of the working population that is somewhat savvier but could still use some help is likely much higher.
Room for variation
The first factor that needs to be taken into account when implementing a new employee program is, naturally, the budget. When it comes to extras like a financial education initiative, the amount of resources available tends to differ greatly from company to company. The scope of the educational content and the delivery method can vary accordingly.
A business that, say, is only testing the waters about providing financial education to employees could create a proof-of-concept program practically for free. A reasonably comprehensive budgeting primer can be assembled from the complementary financial courses on Alison, a leading online learning portal, and some internally-produced materials that expand upon employees' specific points of interest. The latter collection might be something as simple as a set of handpicked articles.
A step-up from there is to swap the free Alison courses with the paid learning programs in Coursera's personal finance section or Udemy's rivaling catalog. They provide a more exhaustive overview of money management topics, along with interactive elements such as pre-prepared quizzes. Enabling workers to test what they've learned makes it much easier for them to internalize the material, certainly compared to a simple reading assignment.
The courses offered by providers such as Coursera are essentially condensed versions of the traditional in-person money management seminar. This is on the table as well for a business that is willing to go the extra mile and bring in an outside expert to answer employees' questions. That expert is usually a local Certified Financial Planner, according to Aaron Kahn, one such professional who specializes in serving businesses. In an interview with Monster.com about the subject, he stressed the importance of finding an independent CFP who won't promote a specific financial product but rather focus on employees' needs.

Providing an incentive
The business or HR leader overseeing the initiative must likewise pay close attention to employee needs, since their financial priorities can vary greatly. Millennial workers, for example, are likely most concerned about paying off student loans. Older staffers meanwhile would probably be more interested in learning how they can better save for retirement.
Considering different workers' perspectives on personal finance is also important when it comes to the order in which the topics are covered. A seminar about, say, 401k investment options probably wouldn't be too meaningful for an employee who hasn't yet mastered core budgeting concepts. Ensuring that a learning program resonates requires a business to actively collect feedback from employees about where they stand in this regard. (Plus, having an organized set of processes in place for gathering input can come handy elsewhere, too.)
With all that in mind, aligning the financial wellness initiative with employees' priorities isn't always enough to attract the desired level of interest. Many workers may be hesitant to accept money advice from their employer, or might simply be reluctant to commit their time. The solution is to provide a concrete incentive for taking part. A company could offer employees a chance to win a free one-on-one consultation with a financial planner or some other reward by way of encouragement.

What did popular music sound like in the Roman Empire?(r/AskHistorians)
Good question. Nobody knows for sure. With music (like many other subjects), things get less and less clear the further you go back in time. It's a completely alien world.
The Romans took pretty much everything musical from the Greeks, and didn't get to be too different from them. They were apparently LESS musical than the Greeks.
What we have from that time is mostly theoretical writings, that describe all kinds of things (from maths to philosophy; from measuring strings to the order of the cosmos; some observations of what works when building theatres) , but are not very specific when it comes to day to day musical practice.
We know what instruments they played because of paintings and (I think) some actual surviving pieces. We know about their theoretical framework (completely different from ours). We know there was some kind of notation (but even to this day there's a big gap between notation and actual musical practice; going back in time only makes it wider). Reconstructions have been created based on all that information (and a healthy amount of speculation, artistic license and personal taste). Don't be too surprised if that music sounds "medieval" or something else to you.
However, going from "we think this is kind of close to how it could have probably sounded" to "this is Roman music" is very problematic. I think we should consider all reconstructions as mostly speculation and experimentation.
I'd recommend you to read Music in Ancient Greece and Rome, by J. G. Landels. It covers in much more detail what I just mentioned, and includes some examples of the notation and instruments.
There's also another problem. If you ask about the whole Empire… It was big, and included some very different cultures. I don't know anything about the music of those other cultures from that period.

On Wednesday 13 February, the 2nd Form had a visitor from St John Ambulance to take them through a First Aid course.
In the three hour session, the boys learnt some core skills they need to administer first aid, which included casualty care and who to contact in an emergency or when someone has had an accident, the recovery position and what to do if someone is injured, bleeding or needs bandaging.
As the nation's leading first aid charity, St John Ambulance believes that every young person should have the chance to learn vital life-saving skills. The boys were definitely put through their paces and learnt a great deal of information, which they will be able to take back to their families and help if an emergency arises.

The appearance of the Google Tag Manager (GTM) tool simplified many aspects of the implementation of tracking tags on a web. In addition to centralizing all of them in a single space, the possibility of introducing changes to the web code without relying on the IT department has been a great step forward for marketing managers and technicians (It's over asking a programmer to implement the Analytics code!).
But the GTM functionalities go beyond the activation of web analytics tool labels. One of the possibilities it offers us is the ability to modify the HTML code of a website in which the GTM tag has been incorporated. And why would we want to do this? We tell you below.
"With Google Tag Manager we can modify practically any HTML element."
Why modify HTML elements with Google Tag Manager?
Before inquiring into the reasons and opportunities offered by this functionality of GTM, it should be noted that by modifying the HTML code of a website we open a new range of potential errors in it. Either because of the ignorance of the person who applies the changes with GTM or because of the lack of coordination with the programming department.
Therefore, before applying this type of actions, we should at least notify the IT manager of our intentions, in addition to validating the changes once applied.
Some of the main reasons to modify HTML elements with Google Tag Manager are:
- Independence of the programming department.
- Immediate application of the changes.
- The possibility of testing and version control.
- Ease of use for non-programmers.
- Most common cases resolved.
What HTML changes can we apply with Google Tag Manager?
Some of the most common cases for which we will use GTM in HTML insertion are:
- Tracking codes and associated events.
- Insertion of data marking with Schema.
- HTML tags linked to SEO (canonical, robots, hreflang …).
- Modification of the visual section of a web through CSS styles.
- Incorporation of own scripts.
In short, we can get to add, modify or delete virtually any HTML code.
How to change HTML elements with Google Tag Manager?
After having incorporated the GTM container and the initial configuration, we can introduce changes in the HTML of a web in a few steps:
- Define or configure the necessary Variables.
- Choose the right Trigger / Activator (all pages, only in particular, when the user clicks on a specific element, etc.).
- Create the Tag / Tag of the custom HTML type with our code.
- Test and implement the changes.
A practical example: we want to implement the tag "meta robots" with the noindex value to avoid that the pages with filters in the URL of our online store are indexed in Google. For this we should:
- Define a Trigger / Activator that only acts on the pages that contain the filter in its URL. We can use the type "Page view" and check the option "Some page views" indicating that the URL contains the parameter in question.
- Create the Tag / Tag of custom HTML type with the corresponding tag and associate it with the Trigger / Activator that we have created before.
- Test and upload the changes.
In some cases, if we use custom Javascript code, we must take into account aspects such as the execution order of the scripts and the DOM load of the page.
And at the SEO level, will Google bots be able to process these changes?
The latest advances in Google crawlers seem to indicate that they are capable of correctly processing this type of modification. In addition, the Mountain View company recently claimed that it processes and renders web pages with Javascript code execution in the second wave of indexing. So even if it takes a little longer to detect them, the HTML changes introduced with Google Tag Manager should be visible to Google bots.
Anyway, whenever we can, we should validate if our implementation is applied correctly, both for tracking bots, and for the user.
As you can see, Google Tag Manager allows us to introduce all kinds of changes in the HTML code of a website, with the advantages (and risks) that it entails. If you need help with the implementation of GTM or any other aspect of web analytics, do not hesitate to contact us.
