One thing I always knew as we were growing up was that no matter how poor we were there were always people who were much worse off than we were.� In fact for the most part I didn't know that we were poor.� We always had a roof over our heads and plenty to eat.� I know my parents, especially my mother, worked very hard to make sure that we had a warm home with everything we needed.� We also knew that it was in our power to help others who were not as fortunate.
I want my sons to be aware that there are people in this world that need our help, many of them in our own community.� Especially at this time of year, when we are getting into the Christmas and Advent season, there are so many opportunities both near and far to help out our fellow man.� I have plans to help out� a few charities this year including the food bank, Operation Christmas Child and I think a family through the Christmas Bureau or St. Mary's Anglican Church in Kerrisdale.� I know that Aidan especially will feel good about helping out children who need a little Christmas in their lives.
Operation Christmas Child is our first for the season.� Aidan and I will go out this afternoon and fill up two boxes with toys and notebooks and pencils and crayons for a child� somewhere in a very poor country.� Sometimes they go to countries recovering from civil war, some from natural disasters or famine.
We went out to find some things for our two boxes.� So far we have a small stuffed animal, some dinkies, pencils, crayons.� There is still a bunch or room so we will put in some more practical items like toothbrushes, a comb and maybe a t-shirt.� Aidan is also making a Christmas card for each box as well.
I hope that Aidan and Quinlan will grow up knowing that we can help people.� I hope that by doing these things while the boys are growing up that they will develop a sense of social responsibility.� Those of us that have means should help in some way, whether it be helping out a food bank, or sponsoring a child, or helping out a school in our community.� I think I am on the right track.

Shadows of long ago
Sunset on Chesapeake Bay.
Even though this tree is almost broken in half it was still blooming.
I love honeysuckle and I just happened to see this small sprig of pink honeysuckle growing under a tree. It is so pretty and definitely a spring like flower.

Wesley Snipes: General Izzi
7 August, 2019
Paramount's forthcoming Coming to America sequel will co-star Wesley Snipes. Snipes will play General Izzi, the ruler of a neighboring nation of Zamunda. Jermaine Fowler is also set to star.
Snipes also worked with Murphy and Brewer on the forthcoming Rudy Ray Moore biopic Dolemite is My Name, which is set to bow in September at the Toronto Film Festival.
[December 14 2013 Gallowwalkers on Netflix – Cowboys and Zombies, why not? ]
VMI Worldwide recently brought the horror/western movie Gallowwalkers, which stars Wesley Snipes, out from the hiding, while Wrekin Hill Entertainment picked up USA release rights to the film, with plans to release this year. A brand-new release trailer has been released.
[August 9]
The concept of the Gallowwalkers :They kill people and take their skin for a week or so and get new skin.
The horror-western angle. Cowboys and Zombies, why not?
Release date: (USA) Lionsgate released Gallowwalkers on DVD (plus Digital UltraViolet), Digital Download and VOD (Video on Demand) on Aug. 6
Actor Wesley Snipes was released from a halfway house July 26.
In 2010, Snipes was convicted of willfully failing to file tax returns from 1999 to 2001.
Snipes finished his three-year sentence in a federal prison in April and has been at the halfway house since then.
Upon his release, Snipes will be mandated to one year of supervised probation.
[April 12, 2013]
Wesley Snipes may be at the April 27 dinner with the president (and 3,000 others) of the White House Correspondents' Association, affectionately known as the "nerd prom" because it draws a wide cross section of movers and shakers from the worlds of journalism, politics, as well as Hollywood all coming together for one night. The dinner, in the Washington Hilton ballroom, begins around 7:30 (realistically 8). At the lower entrance, on Florida Avenue, the hotel permits non-guests to stand behind a rope line and watch the ticketed guests arrive. It's crowded, and there's a lot of screaming, but usually the Hollywood types will walk over to the "civilian" rope line to say hello. Snipes must gain approval to leave home detention.
[April 8]
Wrekin Hill Entertainment has picked up USA and Vmi Worldwide is repping worldwide rights to the horror/western movie Gallowwalkers, which stars Wesley Snipes, at the ongoing European Film Market, happening concurrently with the Berlin International Film Festival, where they are screening it for international buyers – the obvious goal being to sell the film to distributors all over the world, and get the film in front of paying audiences This was one of a handful of projects Wesley Snipes produced before he began his prison sentence in 2010. It was never released, although it did play the film festival circuit a bit.
what seems to be new interest in *black westerns* like Django Unchained, and the upcoming They Die By Dawn, may have influenced the decision to revive this film, which was made before the others.
The film was originally a vehicle for Chinese star, Chow Yun-Fat of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Pirates of the Caribbean fame
[April 7]
Hollywood star Wesley Snipes will now remain under house arrest for the next four months in order to complete the three year sentence he was handed. He'll be under the supervision of the New York Community Corrections Office, which oversees people in the Bronx and Brooklyn areas of New York, as well as New Jersey. According to the community corrections office, there are three detention houses for pre-release inmates — one in Brooklyn, one in New Jersey and one in The Bronx
[ 988 MYRTLE AVENUE BROOKLYN, NY] The population varies at each facility, but inmates are given pass privileges with ankle bracelets.
At the time of his conviction in April 2008, prosecutors said Snipes had earned more than $37m (£24m) in gross income.

NBC's scripted series will start coming back from their holiday broadcast hiatuses at the very start of the new year, with Monday drama The Brave leading the pack with a January 8 midseason premiere. In announcing a bit of midseason scheduling last week, NBC also tucked in a note that "The Brave" wouldn't go past 13 episodes this season. It came complete with a praise quote from a network honcho and the verbiage "a decision on a second season will be made at a later date."
November 27 "The Brave" (0.9, 4.7 million) was down slightly.
November 13 The Brave pulled another 1.0 rating [1.0/4 5.11mil] in the key demo for NBC.

[July 22 Anne Heche and Wesley Snipes in Armed Response ]
[February 7 Anne Heche as cannibal's mom ]
Divorce settlement amended.
Anne Heche is currently working on two films, My Friend Dahmer and Armed Response
Anne Heche is the mother of cannibalistic murderer Jeffrey Dahmer in "My Friend Dahmer," an adaptation of John Backderf's award-winning graphic novel setup at Ibid Filmworks.
The story follows Dahmer through his senior year of high school and takes him right up to two weeks after high school graduation. While the real-life Jeffrey Dahmer went on to rape, murder and eat pieces from 17 male victims, you won't see Lynch filleting human body parts anytime soon. The story ends on the eve of Dahmer's first kill.
[November 7 2016 "elevated genre film" with Snipes and Anne Heche "Armed Response" ]
Armed Response, fka Temple, Simmons and and Wesley Snipes' Maandi Media DMM production company are producing with Michael Luisi through Simmons' Erebus Pictures, a specialty horror label he formed last year with WWE Studios to produce "elevated genre films," while Snipes and Anne Heche are among the film's stars, .

"Maandi strives to create elevated multi-media content that appeals to all demographics worldwide — from childhood fan to feature film collaborators."
[September 23 Anne Heche at TIFF: 'remarkable' Catfight ]
This odd, nasty yet rather funny little film tears apart ideas of sisterhood and female friendship and replaces them with burning hate and gratuitous violence. The knock-down-drag-out pounding that Sandra Oh and Anne Heche exchange not once but three times in Catfight, The choreography of the outrageously extended fight scenes by stunt coordinator Balint Pinczehelyi is remarkable, with each successive appearance of exhaustion and surrender giving way to another flailing bout of punches and kicks, accompanied by amped-up visceral sound effects. Venue: Toronto International Film Festival (Special Presentations)
Production companies: MPI Media Group
To put it bluntly, TIFF has become a dumping ground, serving up hundreds of new movies with hardly any discernible sense of curation. Aristic director Cameron Bailey seems to accept virtually any film with a couple starry names in the cast — provided that they agree to walk the red carpet, of course.
[May 16 2015 USA Network Dig: following soft ratings, decides to dump ]
Now, as its lead female star, Anne Heche sizes up "Dig" in retrospect a massive production focusing on tales of murder, conspiracy and intrigue in the fields of archeology, politics and religion.
The Jason Isaacs-fronted conspiracy drama was initially envisaged an event series that could return with a different mystery each season, ratings permitting.
However, following soft ratings, the network has decided not to pursue a second season, with Dig now existing as a limited ten-part event series (AKA miniseries).

USA Network has pushed back the planned fall launch of its six-episode event series "Dig" to 2015 because of the conflict in the Middle East. USA is likely to pick up more episodes beyond the original order of six.
[September 8 USA Network Series Turns Split Into Jerusalem\
That was strange sight. You are walking through Split, enjoying peaceful atmosphere, maybe thinking where to go for a lunch. Suddenly, you find yourself in a Ban Mladen Street, surrounded by signs written in Hebrew, Israeli flags hung on buildings, and restaurant you always knew as Konoba Hvaranin offers a range of Middle East specialties. Finally – to make it even more bizarre – a bunch of Palestinian protesters is stopped by strong police forces. Parallel universe? No, just filming of another big TV production in Split.
[August 20 USA's 'Dig' Moves Filming to Croatia Sept. 1
The cast and crew had been lensing on location in Israel since early summer. After fighting broke out between Israel and Gaza in July, however, NBC execs made the difficult decision to pull out their teams, relocating them instead to Albuquerque while scouting for a location whose exteriors could pass as Jerusalem on screen.
They will arrive in the Balkans on Sept. 1 for 13 days of shooting. Interior shots will continue to be filmed in Albuquerque. Croatia was selected.
[July 19 Anne Heche: after the MacGuffin – Cannon Fodder: Israeli zombie movie set in Lebanon]
Heche will play the head of the FBI office in Jerusalem in USA Network's six-episode thriller "Dig," Heche is coming off a brief run in the NBC comedy "Save Me" and is doing an arc on NBC's Michael J. Fox Show. "Dig" will be filmed entirely in Jerusalem. The story line follows an FBI agent's search for a religious artifact linked to a potentially world-changing conspiracy hundreds of years in the making while investigating the murder of a female archaeologist. Any resemblance to a Dan Brown story or an Indiana Jones adventure is of course purely coincidental. UCP produces "Covert Affairs," "Psych," "Royal Pains" and "Suits" for USA; "Alphas," "Defiance," and "Warehouse 13" for Syfy. Owner(s) NBCUniversal (Comcast Corporation)
The MacGuffin technique is common in films, especially thrillers. Usually the MacGuffin is the central focus of the film in the first act, and thereafter declines in importance. Hitchcock defined a MacGuffin as the object around which the plot revolves, but as to what that object specifically is, he declared, "the audience don't care".
The main characters, Commander Doran and his Special Ops Team, are walking-talking stereotypes and the fact they speak Hebrew doesn't change a thing about this. Writer/director Eitan Gafny doesn't bother to create a brooding, unsettling atmosphere and seemingly doesn't want us to have sympathy for any of the characters (including the totally innocent Lebanese population). Painful to watch as a genuine horror fan, the extreme gore and excessive bloodshed is all computer-generated garbage that didn't require any cinematic craftsmanship.

Over the past few years North East soul outfit SOULUTIONS (essentially Steve Lee and Louise Meehan) have made quite a name for themselves with their unique take on sweet, poppy ,Brit dance floor soul and their latest single will do no harm at all to their reputation.
Tune in question is an infectious, sparse 'Who's Been Kissing You' that already tops many of the credible European soul charts. If you know Soulutions' work you'll agree that it's "typically them" – down to the soundscape crafted by Steve running under Louise's distinctive vocals. If you don't know their sound... well, it's just what we said - sweet, poppy, Brit dance floor soul.
The song is good to download right now and there's also a CD with 4 mixes of the song on it. Label is Festival Park and the first 100 copies, we're told, will be signed by Steve and Louise. The band's web site will furnish the details.

You wanted to extend the life and make sure they our love ones are alright and away from harm.
There is medical billing that is modern and high tech as people want convenient and easy for everybody to use. Hospitals and an advance developer made some applications or website for the people to use and pay their necessary bills by using it. All you have to do is find the best application or website and if they are reliable in doing any transaction or if they are connected to the different company. This type of connection from the billing service the company can make your billing more transparent and convenient for you since you don't need to go back and forth in the hospital or clinic.
It is crucial and vital for a hospital to have equipment that is advance and clean because they will be using it to a human. We don't want to have sickness from the other people because of the equipment they use. They have to make sure that all the equipment that they are using are safe and well clean from this matter. It has to be advance to make sure that they are no wrong diagnoses and it might cause more than it is because of it and making everyone in panic.
Yes, the equipment might be part of the facilities but the equipment that is being mentioned is specific to the things that will be use in the patient. This also includes the different places and stations and even the rooms of the hospital. You are paying a huge amount of money for all of these and you needed and it is your right to have the best facilities that they can offer. You are paying for all of these and it is your right to have the best facility that a hospital can have and you wanted to be comfortable here.
There is some hospital that have the worst services towards the patient. If you are experience this it is your right to transfer somewhere that have services better than the recent one. The best hospital has the best service that they can offer for their patient, they treat them as a family not as a business who is paying them. What is the use of all the advance equipment and the best facilities if the service itself is in the lowest and poorest performance that is beyond the standard of service for the people.

Pose Estimation and Calibration Algorithms for Vision and Inertial Sensors
Abstract: This thesis deals with estimating position and orientation in real-time, using measurements from vision and inertial sensors. A system has been developed to solve this problem in unprepared environments, assuming that a map or scene model is available. Compared to 'camera-only' systems, the combination of the complementary sensors yields an accurate and robust system which can handle periods with uninformative or no vision data and reduces the need for high frequency vision updates.The system achieves real-time pose estimation by fusing vision and inertial sensors using the framework of nonlinear state estimation for which state space models have been developed. The performance of the system has been evaluated using an augmented reality application where the output from the system is used to superimpose virtual graphics on the live video stream. Furthermore, experiments have been performed where an industrial robot providing ground truth data is used to move the sensor unit. In both cases the system performed well.Calibration of the relative position and orientation of the camera and the inertial sensor turn out to be essential for proper operation of the system. A new and easy-to-use algorithm for estimating these has been developed using a gray-box system identification approach. Experimental results show that the algorithm works well in practice.

Welcome to 2018, my lovely readers.
You all are really amazing for sticking with me through all the process I have had to go through with this blog.
I have wanted to quit a 100 times, being really Inconsistent since 2016, I let my life issues interfere with my passion, I was mad at the world because I have not achieved all the things I thought I would achieve at this stage of my life, I told myself I wasn't good enough, creative enough and maybe I should stop blogging and go into hiding.
Just like every other job, We all have doubts, fear, and worry. In 2017 I learnt the actual meaning of contentment and patience.
Content that where I am right now is where God want's me to be and that there is no need to worry about the unnecessaries because it doesn't solve anything. Instead work more on my craft and strive to do everything I can do to be better.
Patience because there is no hurry in life and When God say's the time is right to get what I want, I will definitely get it.
In 2017 I also learnt not to panic about anything but Have faith that everything will be fine.

Read this article to learn about water-borne pollutants: 1. Classification of Water-Borne Pollutants 2. Treatment Techniques of Water-Borne Pollutants and 3. Control Strategy for Water-Borne Pollutants.
Classification of Water-Borne Pollutants:
The pollutants present in a liquid effluent stream may be broadly classified according to their physical and chemical nature as shown below:
Treatment Techniques of Water-Borne Pollutants:
Over the years several techniques have been developed for removal of pollutants from waste water. Some of these may be used for removal of several pollutants, whereas, some may be used for removal of some specific pollutants only. These techniques may be classified into the following three groups depending on their causative factors as shown in Table 8.1.
The purpose for which the above mentioned techniques may be used, and the pollutants they are capable of removing are listed in Table 8.2.
The techniques listed in Table 8.1 are generally grouped as follows depending on the types of pollutants they are able to abate:
I. Primary Treatment Techniques:
The techniques, which are used for removal of suspended solid particles and immiscible liquids (films, droplets and emulsions) from waste water are termed as primary treatment techniques.
II. Secondary Treatment Techniques:
These techniques are used for abatement of biodegradable organic substances (both dissolved and suspended) present in an effluent. These are also capable of removing plant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous.
III. Tertiary Treatment Techniques:
The techniques, which are capable of abating dissolved inorganic substances, non-biodegradable dissolved organic substances, colour, odour and finer suspended matters from an effluent are termed as tertiary treatment techniques.
IV. Final/Polishing Treatment Techniques:
These techniques are used for destruction of micro-organisms and for abatement of any other matter, which have escaped removal during the primary and secondary treatments.
Scanning of Table 8.2 reveals that for abatement of a specific type of pollutant more than one technique is available. For selection of a suitable technique in a given situation one should take into account (i) the initial concentration of the targeted type of pollutant, (ii) the quantity of waste water to be treated, and (iii) the treatment cost.
In Table 8.3 the different techniques, which may be used for abatement of some specific types of pollutants, are listed.
Control Strategy for Water-Borne Pollutants:
The techniques, which may be used for treating a liquid effluent stream from an industrial unit, would depend on the types of pollutants present in the effluent and their respective concentrations. The overall scheme would depend on whether the treated water would be reused within the unit itself or outside its boundary or it is to be disposed off.
If it is proposed to dispose off the treated effluent, one should examine carefully the feasibility of the following alternative disposal methods: pounding, discharge into a water body/public sewer system, land irrigation, and bore hole injection.
Before chalking out a strategy for handling and treatment of an effluent stream one needs to decide on the following two pre-treatment steps:
1. Whether the effluent streams from the different sections of a plant are to be segregated and treated separately or those may be combined together, that is, equalized and then treated. Equalization would enable one to feed waste water to the downstream treatment units at a more or less uniform rate having a time averaged pollutant concentration.
2. Whether neutralization, that is, pH regulation of an effluent stream is necessary prior to its further treatment.
After arriving at appropriate decisions with respect to the above mentioned steps one should explore the different alternative schemes for treatment of the effluent stream. While exploring the alternatives one must bear in mind that in general waste water treatment processes do not yield any revenue. Hence the scheme finally chosen should be such that it would produce a treated effluent having the desired quality but the overall treatment cost (fixed cost plus operating cost) would be the minimum.
The proposed scheme may be broadly represented as shown in Fig. 8.2. It should be pointed out here that the actual scheme finally selected may have all of the sections shown in Fig. 8.2 or only some of them depending on the pollutants initially present in the stream to be treated and the quality of the treated effluent desired.

The past 20 years has seen a remarkable increase in the knowledge of immunology and its application to clinical questions. What was known simply as a mechanism for protection against infection has expanded to include transplantation biology, protection from malignancy, and an explanation for mechanisms of a widely diverse group of autoimmune disorders—rheumatologic, hematologic, oncologic, endocrine. One of the leading figures in the application of immunology to human disease, Robert S. Schwartz, has brought together a panel of experts to discuss various aspects of immunity and disease.

Vocal Production and the Evolution of a Pop Song
ft. Prince Charles Alexander – Taking a track from a demo to a finished song is no small undertaking. In music production, and especially vocal production, songs can change hands many times, with multiple producers, songwriters, engineers, and performers all making their mark. To help understand what happens at the different stages of producing a pop song, we brought in an expert—GRAMMY-winning record producer, audio engineer, and educator Prince Charles Alexander (P. Diddy, Mary J. Blige, Notorious B.I.G.). Part 1: The Beginning Part 2: Intention Part 3: Recording Part 4: Ad-libs and Harmonies

A problem with exploration rovers based on other planets is the propagation time for signals to be sent and received from a control station based back on Earth. As a result it is very difficult to make rovers navigate to their target location in real time. To solve this problem it would be better if exploration rovers where able to traverse terrain autonomously without any human input.
A real time simulation system was developed that applied the D* search algorithm to a rover in a simulated planetary environment. The environments for the system were provided by the Planet and Natural scene Generation Utility (PANGU) created by The University of Dundee's space research group.
As the rover traverses the region it collects data about the environment using a simulated sensor system. It is able to use the collected elevation data to develop an internal hazard map which can then be used for navigation using its pathfinding system.
To prove how effective the D* search algorithm is the simulation runs comparison simulations with different configurations. These configurations are D* when the terrain is unknown, D* when the terrain is known and the A* search algorithm.

And yet they also noted that women's access to safe and voluntary family planning is a human right, which is grounded in: the right to life; the right to liberty and security of person; the right to health; the right to consent to marriage and equality in marriage; the right to privacy; the right to equality and nondiscrimination; the right not to be subjected to torture; the right to education; the right to decide the number and spacing of children; and the right to be free from violence.
A representative from the World Health Organization presented the priority actions that are needed to ensure that different human rights dimensions are systematically and clearly integrated into the provision of contraceptive information and services, namely:
While the conference celebrated the important work that is currently being done across disciplines to ensure that the right to family planning is respected, protected and fulfilled for all people, significant obstacles remain to achieving this lofty goal. Until the global community is able to overcome these obstacles, the unmet need for family planning will remain an unmet human right, and continue to threaten the health and wellbeing of women, their families and their communities.

Fan favorite Coste continuing to live the dream
Chris Coste had a plan. He wanted to be a Major League manager.
"I always thought that was my path," Coste said. "Go into the Minor Leagues, become a manager, work my way up to the big leagues."
Then again, baseball has always been a game of adjustments.
A backup catcher who became something of a folk hero when he played for the Phillies from 2006-09, Coste is now in his second year as the head coach at his alma mater, Division III Concordia College in Moorhead, Minn., after three seasons as an assistant. And that's the job he intends to keep until he retires.
"When you're a professional baseball player, you're never home for more than a month or two at a time," said Coste, who turned 42 on Feb. 4. "Once I got home and was home for a full year, I realized I didn't want to leave. My family is there. It's where I want to live. It's where my life is.
"I have no intention of looking for a Division I job or a Minor League/Major League job. I love life the way it is right now; I'm as happy as I could possibly be. And this is what I'm going to do -- here at Concordia for the next 30 years, or more."
Coste made his Major League debut for Philadelphia on May 26, 2006, when he was 33. That made him the oldest Phils player to play his first game in the big leagues since Izzy Leon in 1945. Coste had enjoyed his second straight great spring that year, batting .463 with three home runs and 11 RBIs, but he once again failed to make the Opening Day roster.
By then, though, Coste had already developed a following at Citizens Bank Park. Many fans identified with his years of bouncing around the Minors and independent leagues and his disappointment at doing everything he could in the Grapefruit League and still being sent back to the Minors.
Coste ended up playing in 256 games for the Phillies before being claimed off waivers by the Astros in July 2009, batting .282 with 23 homers and 98 RBIs. His experiences became the basis for an autobiography called, aptly enough, "The 33-Year-Old Rookie."
Coste spent two years as a part-time studio analyst for Comcast SportsNet, but he never seriously considered auditioning for a full-time job in the booth when there was an opportunity over the offseason.
"I can't say there wasn't interest, but I knew there really wasn't a possibility when I heard some of the names being thrown out," Coste said. "I can't say that if that had been a possibility for me, I would have turned it down. But it would have been a very tough decision, just because of my current situation. I have it pretty good back in Minnesota with the family and the guys."
Coaching collegiately has been a learning experience for Coste.
"The biggest difference from what I expected was my inability to immediately transition to a different level," Coste said. "When you play at a certain level for 16 years like I did, there are so many things that you just assume everybody knows. Like the way you run a bunt play, the way you defend a first-and-third steal, throwing to a certain base.
"Then you get to Division III and they're incredibly talented. But I look back when I was their age and I didn't know half that stuff. So that was my biggest weakness my first year. I didn't realize how unprepared we were, which is my job as a coach. I realized that I have to be a lot more specific."
Coste is succeeding Bucky Burgau, who was his coach when he played at Concordia. In many ways, he couldn't have invented a better spot for himself.
"[Burgau] brought me on board to take over for him as he slowly transitioned his way out," Coste said.
"I was fortunate to transition slowly into a program. Before the first year, I was unsure. And after the first year, it was so obvious to me -- not only what I needed to do but what I wanted to do the rest of my life. I always knew baseball was going to be a part of it. It was just a matter of where. Well, Concordia is definitely the where."

Afghan Civilians Killed in NATO Airstrike
Updated 6:40 a.m. EST
The Afghan cabinet says at least 27 civilians are dead as the result of NATO airstrike in southern Afghanistan - an incident that is inflaming already heightened sensitivities over noncombatant casualties in the war.
In a statement released on Monday, the Afghanistan Council of Ministers strongly condemned the airstrike, saying it was "unjustifiable."
The cabinet says initial reports indicate that NATO fired Sunday on a convoy of three vehicles killing at least 27 civilians, including four women and one child. The ministers say 12 others were injured while they were on their way to Kandahar.
The cabinet previously reported 33 civilians had been killed.
NATO has confirmed that its planes fired on what it believed was a group of insurgents in southern Uruzgan province, but later discovered that women and children were hurt.
The strike hit three minibuses that were driving down a major road in the mountainous province. There were 42 people in the vehicles, all civilians, Bashary said.
NATO said that its forces transported injured people to nearby medical centres.
"We are extremely saddened by the tragic loss of innocent lives," NATO commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal said in the statement. "I have made it clear to our forces that we are here to protect the Afghan people and inadvertently killing or injuring civilians undermines their trust and confidence in our mission. We will redouble our effort to regain that trust."
McChrystal apologized to President Hamid Karzai for the incident on Sunday, NATO said.
NATO has gone to great lengths in recent months to reduce civilian casualties as part of a new strategy to focus on protecting the Afghan people to win their loyalty over from the Taliban. Rules for airstrikes have been tightened, but mistakes continue to happen.
In the continuing offensive against a Taliban stronghold in Helmand province, south of Uruzgan, two NATO rockets killed 12 civilians and others have gotten caught in the crossfire. On Thursday, an airstrike in northern Kunduz province missed targeted insurgents and killed seven policemen.

TrueView for Action YouTube Ads: Can Video Be Used as a Performance-Driving Medium?
Since YouTube first began monetizing content in 2007, online advertisers have sought to leverage YouTube's scale as a platform to drive brand-focused objectives. Over the past decade, there have been several iterations of the ad placements available as part of this product suite, with 2016 seeing the first beta opportunity to drive action-oriented key performance indicators. The "TrueView for Action" offering was subsequently rolled out to the production environment earlier this year, allowing advertisers to pair a video creative with a call-to-action at the video footer and at the end of their video. As marketers, this presents the unique opportunity to leverage this capability in tandem with an engaging video creative for the first time.
At The Search Agency, we recently had the opportunity to test this offering on behalf of an advertiser seeking to drive trials of their telecommunications app. The overarching strategy was to measure YouTube's impact on an audience using a performance-focused ad format paired with low-funnel targeting tactics. In addition, we sought to incorporate a brand interest lift study, with the intent of further decomposing the characteristics of the most valuable users to this advertiser.
Using a "test and learn" strategy, we fostered an eight-week campaign using historically-proven display audiences. The first two weeks were used to gather learnings, followed by a six-week period to aggressively seek acquisitions (trials). The initialization phase focused on optimizing toward completed video views, allowing us to gather points of data and to populate a broad pool of potentially desirable users. Next, we transposed the campaign objective to a CPA bid to deliver video views to higher intent users. By overlaying this strategy with proven display audiences, it allowed the isolation of better performing audiences — learnings which could shape future investment:
- In-Market
- Competitive Affinity
- Custom Keyword Intent
- Site Visitor Remarketing
- Video Viewer Remarketing
Following the conclusion of the eight-week test, we saw a 40-percent lower cost per view than competitors, paired with a Cost Per Acquisition (trial) lower the advertiser's original target. In addition, we observed that using video as a channel to drive a direct response, there was a 13 percent increase in the probability that a viewer would complete a trial. There was an 1,800 percent increase in search volume on brand-related keywords among users who were exposed to the YouTube ad, compared to similar users who did not see the ad at all. New, high-performing geographies were identified as well as additional performing keywords, which could be incorporated as part of future marketing initiatives.
In conclusion, "TrueView for Action" can certainly help advertisers accomplish set performance goals, and in this example the outcome was extremely encouraging. That said, marketers should maintain an element of caution to ensure this product is appropriate for their advertisers. While we did observe a competitive CPA, which was lower than the originally-agreed target, video is a considerably more engaging format and does attract a hefty premium when compared to its display counterpart. Performance-driven advertisers may be disappointed if they're drawing a direct comparison to these channels.

The THC Drug Testing Kit solely tests for THC. The colour change will correspond to the information sheet and colour chart included.
The THC test use a chemical reagent absorbed in silica gel, which is held inside a glass ampoule.
When a sample is added to these chemicals inside the ampoule, if and when a reaction occurs a colour change will take place. This colour should be compared to the colour chart included on the instructions within the package, to give an indication as what could be in the sample.
The EZ testing kits are purely a guide to help analyse a substance. It is advised not to touch any substance and extensive laboratory testing of samples is recommended for more detailed results.

The Next Great Depression
Every day the rich get richer, the poor get poorer, and the rest of us in the middle get stretched even further until that paycheck to paycheck is as thin and worn as an old dollar bill. Watching the debate over our fiscal and economic policy between Republican'ts and Democraps has been more depressing than watching The Notebook.
On one side, the GOP refuses to acknowledge that the wealthiest Americans must pay their fair share of taxes, meaning a progressive tax code that actually taxes people on real income, not just percentage points held in isolation. The Dems need to acknowledge that we cannot keep spending our money like a goddamn suburban housewife -- that means no more inflated military budget, and no more prison-industrial complex. BOTH parties need to acknowledge that major companies will not be allowed to lose billions of dollars and then receive tax-payer money to salvage their unsustainable and harmful financial decisions. BOTH parties need to stop letting corporations get away with tax fraud, take government subsidies at will, all the while disenfranchising their workers and evade shouldering their burden of the economy, especially by pretending that a corporation somehow counts as a "person"!
We cannot wait any longer for this situation to sort itself out. Our elected leaders are failing us by taking no action to fix this broken system. Some are unwilling, some unable, and some outrightly refuse to accept that they have a duty to this country, to their constituents, and as such they should be ashamed of themselves for pointing the blame at anyone other than themselves. I most especially include the Republicans, for their continuing devolvement into pure fringe radicalism in the face of this crisis, but blame falls also upon the president, the Dems, all of congress, and our state governments. Everyone will be held into account for the crisis that is slowly evolving into a monstrous downfall of our precious, privileged, American economy.
I, for one, would be extremely disappointed if I have to move to Canada when that happens.

There is no such thing as logic and common sense in the political world. If there was, the news wouldn't have any stories and there would be few political problems because everyone would compromise and fall into the middle.
There is a reason only the extreme get voted into any political office.

I would say it's the opposite, only the completely vanilla bleh get voted into office. Only the people who compromise so much of themselves that they finally resemble nothing so much as a blank poster of Uncle Sam's Maintaining the Status Quo.
For once, I'd like a revolutionary in office to change things -- but only for the better. Sadly, no such revolutionary would ever go into politics.
However, there is logic and common sense in this world, even amongst the politics. It's just not what wins.

Menu Spacing
I am creating a site with Site Assist. The program creates a Home and Content CSS and Menu. The Content menu has one extra tab for Home page and manages to fit this in okay in all the template pages. Due to reasons a little complex to add here I added a Home tab to the Home menu making this, in theory, the same size as the menu for the Content menu. In IE and Chrome the page appears fine but in Firefox the menu goes to two lines throwing everything out of kilter.
I have searched the CSS for any differences between between the Home and Content menus to discover why the tabs I have fit perfectly in the template pages but not on the index page. The program automatically configures the template pages to have one extra tab so there must be some difference somewhere that allows this to fit. If someone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Revised St. Joseph Secondary School Petition sign now
We, the student body of St. Joseph's Secondary School believe the following 3 rules must be in place. If these suggestions are ignored; we WILL take actions (protests/strike).
1. School starting times. School must start at 9:15 AM or later. 8:15 AM is too early; especially for teenagers. Many boards have already made the change in light of scientific evidence proving that teenagers especially need more sleep and their biological clocks are more fitting for a later start. Many boards in Toronto and the USA provide a 9:15 AM start.
Follow this link if you are in disbelief that a later school start will actually help students (even if you seem to think that we will just sleep at a later time): http://www.apa.org/monitor/oct01/sleepteen.html
This study is an OFFICIAL study conducted by the American Psychology Association; it is evidence. And, upon further inspection, most USA states will now impose a law saying public schools MUST start after 8:30AM and not a second before.
2. Unbiased marking. We already have a student ID system in place -- we have to make use of it. Many students are complaining that teachers mark with a bias when they look at the name. Specifically in courses where marking can vary (unlike math), we believe there is a strong bias. Why not just write the Student ID number instead of the name? Many schools already have this type of system in place in order to avoid biased marking.
3. A university like environment / Respect. Teachers often claim when they mark difficult, overload you with assignments and make you stand outside, that they are just preparing you for university. How about preparing us by treating us (specifically senior students) with more respect? Teachers love to bring down students' marks by not accepting late assignments and simply giving a "Zero!" instead of checking up on students to see if they did work. Well how about a more lenient and respectful way of dealing with lates? More respect when asking sincere questions? More freedom; have optional classes which are workshops (where teachers help you with major assignments). Respect the students; just give us the lecture/lesson, and then be available for help.
Take a stand, and please sign with your FULL REAL name. This information will NOT be revealed to ANYONE unauthorized to recieve it. These 3 major problems along with other more minor nuances (such as extended lunch time like the ones in every other school, and less strictness on uniform such being able to wear black running shoes) will be addressed in a final report. This report will be given to the office. Please, feel free to link this petition and forward it to as many students as possible.
Teachers always strike -- this is our chance to take control and get what we deserve, want and need.

How would you start your story in 10 words or less?
Before we love our story and speak our story, we should know how to start our story. So here's my challenge: How would you start your story in 10 words or less?

Green Life Wellness: 5 Tips for Changing your Unhealthy Habits
Embracing a green lifestyle will enable you to make a positive difference in the world, and it will also give you the opportunity to get in better shape. After all, some of the best eco-friendly techniques will require you to reduce your reliance on gasoline and eat healthier food, and this will make it easy to achieve your environmental and personal health goals.
Photo: flickr.com/photos/37238219@N00
Five Tips for Improving Your Health through Green Living
1. Ride Your Bike to Work
Many people believe that they do not have enough time to exercise. Therefore, the odds are high that you spend most of your downtime doing something sedentary such as watching TV or surfing the Internet. However, as long as you live relatively close to your workplace, you could easily reduce your gasoline consumption and get into better shape by riding your bike to work at least once a week. As an added bonus, this will also help you save money due to the escalating cost of gas.
2. Eat Organic Food
Farmers who utilize traditional methods spray a lot of harmful pesticides that can be damaging to people and the environment. Therefore, it is always best to incorporate as many organic foods into your diet as possible. You should also strongly consider purchasing the majority of your organic items from local farmers to help reduce the environmental strain that is caused by shipping food long distances.
3. Plant a Garden
Raising your own vegetables is much more eco-friendly than driving to the store each time you need something, and it will also enable you to create your own organic food. Additionally, working in your garden will give you positive health benefits. In fact, studies have indicated that gardening can improve an individual's mental health. If possible, you should consider joining a community garden to make quality food available to a larger group of people.
4. Utilize Natural Light
Most people turn several lights on inside of their home during the day instead of opening their blinds. However, as long as it is not extremely hot outside, you can actually reduce your electric consumption and help your mental health by opening your blinds. After all, people need exposure to the sun to avoid issues such as seasonal affective disorder, but you will be able to avoid the direct impact of the sun's rays that can be harmful for your skin.
5. Turn to a Life Coach for Support
If you are having difficulty sticking to a green lifestyle, you should strongly consider using an online coaching directory to find a local life coach who can help you with your goals. A life coach will set a timeline in motion for you, and they will also help you stay focused on each necessary task that will enable you to create a greener and healthier lifestyle.
In a recent interview, professional life coach Calgary-based Sue Abuelsamid explained, "I help people who strive to create more positive energy, build meaningful relationships, and tap into their higher purpose." This interview is an excellent example of how a life coach can help support a client with goal setting and motivation skills. In fact, this is one of the easiest and most convenient ways to remain motivated for any new goal in your life.
Adopting a green lifestyle will let you have a positive impact on your local environment, and it can also make it easier to improve your physical and mental health. Therefore, it is definitely a good idea to create a timeline for converting to a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
Lisa Coleman shares some ways a person can get healthier while promoting a friendlier and greener way of living. She encourages utilizing a life coach, found easily through an online life coach directory. Whether it is a supportive life coach Calgary, Canada or Dallas, Texas that you seek, there is one easily found in any area that can help support a healthier and greener lifestyle.

Introduction to feature specs in RSpec
Lately, I've decided to spend a lot of focus on writing feature specs with RSpec and Capybara. Feature specs allow you to test your application from the user's point of view. You use the Capybara gem to test your application's interface with commands like these:
(A point of confusion: sometimes these kinds of tests are called "acceptance tests" or "integration tests," and now DHH is calling them system tests and is declaring that a future release of Rails will provide functionality for tests like these.)
I've found that this methodology tests 80% of what I need without needing to dive into the minutiae of testing every boundary case in every method in every class. Don't get me wrong; I still test most custom logic in model specs and some authorization logic in request specs, but I try to not go overboard. A deeper level of detail in my testing can come later when my app becomes a wild success, amiright?
My understanding is that these tests run on the slower side compared to other types of tests that RSpec can run, but I've found the trade-off to be worth it to test the whole system from the user's point of view.
Tutorial: let's get into some CRUD
Simple CRUD functionality is a great place to start to get a feel for how this all works. Let's do this for a simplified
Product model in the admin area of a fictitious e-commerce application.
And quick configuration of some validations on the
Product class at
(I may as well use this example as a chance to pimp the wonderful money-rails gem for handling currency.)
Testing creation
A good place to start is a product creation area. We can go ahead and setup the route under an
admin namespace:
Then we write our test first at
spec/features/products/admin_creates_product_spec.rb. I enjoy the suggestion by Thoughtbot to name your features with an actor and then an action, thus naming the feature
Admin creates product.
With this in place, you can build the functionality to make the test pass. The finished product would look something like the following files.
(Note that the code above uses the amazing Simple Form gem.)
We'd think that this code would make the test pass, but there is a problem:
We need to add a handler for our flash message to
Then we should see the test pass:
Next, we can add a test that the form correctly reports validation errors when the user doesn't enter data correctly:
And then update the
