According to the summary of Work Related Injuries in Colorado published by the Colorado Division of Workers' Compensation, amputations accounted for 119 of the workers' compensation claims in 2008 that involved time missed from work. Amputation is the removal of a body extremity as a result of trauma or as part of a surgical procedure to control infection or other problems. Amputation may occur at work if your limbs become caught in a machine, if there is an accident when using sharp objects or if you are involved in some other accident that severs an extremity or that causes a surgeon to need to remove one of your extremities.
Amputation of one or more of your body parts can have a serious impact on your life. You may need expensive medical treatment, including the attachment of a prosthesis when possible to replace the lost part of limb. You may require physical therapy, pain medication, surgical interventions and treatment to deal with any resulting problems, complications infections that develop as a result of the lost limb or your body's rejection of the prosthesis. You may also be unable to perform the job you had before an amputation occurred. Your employer is obligated to compensate you for the losses that you endured as a result of an amputation that occurred on the job. At the Dominick Law Firm, our Boulder Colorado workers' compensation attorneys will help you to get the benefits you deserve. Contact is today at 303-446-2644 for a free consultation to learn how we help after amputations.
Colorado Workers' Compensation and Amputations
Compensation for amputation includes not just standard workers' compensation benefits such as payment of your medical costs and compensation for temporary disability. In the state of Colorado, you are also compensated for the loss of the limb. This monetary benefit paid to you is established by statute and is equal to a certain number of weeks, depending upon what part of your body was lost in the work accident.
Colorado defines the number of weeks you will be paid for the monetary benefit for your loss of limb in section 8-42-107. For example, under 8-42-107:
- The loss of a leg above the foot including the ankle at or very near the hip joint; or the loss of an arm at the shoulder or above the hand, including the wrist; entitles you to 208 weeks of benefits.
- The loss of a hand below your wrist entitles you to 104 weeks of benefits.
- The loss of an index finger at the distal joint entitles you to nine weeks of benefits.
These are just a few examples of the full list found in section 8-42-107. It is also important to note that if injury to one of your limbs or extremities is so severe that the body part is rendered unusable, this is considered the equivalent of amputation for purposes of making a workers' compensation claim.
Unfortunately, while you are entitled to these benefits, sometimes your employer may try to argue that your injury was not work related or that you are not as severely injured as you claim. When this occurs, it is your burden to prove that your job tasks led to the amputation and your burden to prove the severity of your condition as well as that it prevents you from working. You do not ever need to prove your employer was negligent in order to recover workers' compensation benefits, but meeting your burden of proof can still sometimes be challenging, especially if you did not actually lose the limb but instead the limb is just significantly impaired.
The Dominick Law Firm can help you to understand your rights under Colorado workers' compensation laws and under the specific policy your employer has in place. Our Boulder workers' compensation firm has assisted clients with workers' comp claims throughout Boulder, Longmont, Louisville, Lafayette, Erie, Broomfield, Greeley, Ft. Collins, Superior, Denver and the entire Colorado Front Range. If you live in this area and need assistance understanding or enforcing your rights after an amputation, contact us today at 303-447-2644 or using our online form to schedule a free consultation to learn how we can help.

Does CRM need to be social?
In case you haven't noticed, 2012 is the year in which businesses are supposed to get more social.
Collaboration solutions are getting a makeover, thanks to the help of social business software companies such as pioneer Jive Software. Customer service is getting more social, through applications from the likes of Lithium and Yammer. Marketing and public relations activities are being transformed through social media.
And, increasingly, people are starting to talk about so-called social CRM — technologies that more closely integrate all of the above with customer relationship management systems.
The big question for solution providers, both as an internal business strategy and as a consideration for their clients, is whether being social pays off.
This issue is something I follow pretty closely for one of my other blogs. Just this week, I reported that a new survey suggests that close to 60 percent of midsize and larger businesses are using social media as part of customer service. In fact, many of the companies that are doing this have been doing so for two years.
But a different research set from Gartner predicts that it will be difficult to gauge the return on some of these investments, especially those related to social CRM.
By the end of this year, only 50 percent of businesses will actually be able to measure their ROI related to social CRM applications, according to Gartner. For technology solution providers, that could mean a shut down in funding. Noted Gartner research director Adam Sarner:
"For the 50 percent of Fortune 1000 organizations not determining, or even measuring, ROI, ignorance will mean failed projects. Among the companies who will not see a worthwhile return, only 20 percent will even have the data to evaluate where their social strategy is falling short."
This year, social CRM deployments will account for about 10 percent of overall CRM software license and subscriptions, Gartner figures. The overall revenue expected for the category this year will be $2.1 billion, up from $850 million in 2011.
Clearly, it is important for VARs and manager service providers to build a strong business case for their clients when steering them toward the social CRM realm — one that they should endeavor to track and to measure moving forward. Or, it could be difficult to find future funding for these initiatives, no matter how sexy they seem.

The Family Drug and Alcohol Court (FDAC) Intervention Team has won a Guardian Public Services Award for Service Delivery for Children and Young people.
The multi-disciplinary team is provided by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation and children's charity Coram. Since January 2008, it has been delivering a new way of dealing with care proceedings when parental substance misuse is causing harm to children.
This award is the second for the team, who last week were named Psychiatric Team of the Year at the Royal College of Psychiatrists awards.
In July, FDAC judge Nick Crichton won an outstanding achievement award at the Legal Action Group's Legal Aid Lawyer of the Year awards for his role in setting up the court.
About FDAC
Unlike conventional care proceedings, parents in FDAC see the same judge throughout and meet with them every fortnight. They also receive support from a multi-disciplinary team, including fast access to substance misuse services and assistance with other issues such as housing, domestic violence and financial hardship.
Independent evaluation
In May this year, an independent evaluation of FDAC funded by the Nuffield Foundation and led by Professor Judith Harwin at Brunel University concluded that the court had been successful in improving outcomes for children by tackling the substance misuse of parents at an early stage of care proceedings.
Parents who had been through the FDAC system were more likely to stop their substance misuse than those in ordinary care proceedings, meaning fewer children were taken into care. When parents were unable to control their substance misuse, FDAC made swifter decisions to find permanent alternative homes for children. The integrated approach also has potential to reduce costs.

Yahoo! is still seen as heavily dependent on advertising, and since there is no clear recovery in the ad market yet, people aren't getting excited about Yahoo!. In reality, Yahoo! has diversified outside its core advertising market, and growth there will help it grow the top line nicely. - Safa Rashtchy

Research and Development by J. Clayton Lafferty, Ph.D. (LSI) and Robert A. Cooke, Ph.D. (ILF)
Identify targets for behavioral change to improve interpersonal relations, increase effectiveness, and develop leadership potential
As one of Human Synergistics first assessments, the LSI has helped millions of individuals gain self-awareness as well as an understanding of the relationships between personal, management, and leadership styles and effectiveness. Research over the past four decades, based on thousands of data points, demonstrates that the LSI styles are related to various indicators of individual effectiveness and important outcomes such as managerial effectiveness and openness to feedback (as reported by others), self-reported stress, salary, and organizational level.
The Detailed Report provides a deeper understanding of the personal orientations and behavioural styles measured by the LSI. Individuals are provided with detailed item-by-item feedback that offers otherwise unavailable information on the specific behaviours on which they should focus to strengthen Constructive styles and reduce Defensive tendencies. Their results are compared to those for 14,000 individuals in our new international norming data set. As an added feature, when purchasing a self-report with a description by others report a new Summary Grid is included to identify Confirmed Strengths, Unrecognized Strengths, Stumbling Blocks, and Blind Spots.
To improve your workshops using the Detailed Report, select one of many of our LSI Product Enhancements to improve the learning experience for your participants.
Facilitating workshops or coaching using the LSI Detailed Report requires certification. Contact us for information on product pricing, certification programs, and/or consulting and coaching services. (Online ordering is not available.)
We also have available, an LSI Simple Report without ILF and a qualitative report for leaders, called Leadership WorkStyles™. The General Certification Workshop provides certification for all three products.

This field of history draws together faculty and graduate students working on a wide variety of countries, geographic regions and chronological periods interested in the comparative history of labor and working classes. The question that guides our teaching and research—who does the work and under what economic and political terms?—remains important to the understanding of early industrialization, labor movements and organization, as well as the challenges of mobilizing labor in the recent era of globalization. Some recent topics of interest to our community of scholars include: slavery, the plantation household, international labor migration to the U.S., protest movements against the World Trade Organization, Black workers and civil rights unionism, and the recruitment and mobility of Indian ocean sailors. In addition to movements and institutions based on industrial labor, courses and research projects also explore agricultural work, unpaid and domestic labor, informal labor, and the professions. In all these spheres, the intersection with questions of race-ethnicity and gender are pursued through the "American" hemisphere and draw on in inter- and transnational contexts beyond our borders.
Our faculty are nationally active in a number of scholarly associations, conference groups and the editorial boards of journals. Duke recently hosted the Labor and Working Class History Association's 2007 annual conference on "Working Class Activism in the South and the Nation: Contemporary Challenges in Historical Context."
Ongoing labor history activities include the Triangle Labor and Civil Rights History Working Group which offers a network of ongoing debate, discussion, and civic engagement. Subscribe to their listserv at email@example.com for information on upcoming events and meetings, or follow them on Facebook. The Triangle also hosts a number of distinguished labor historians including Jacquelyn Hall (UNC-CH) and David Zonderman (NCSU) and outstanding holdings on southern history at Duke, UNC, and the Center for Documentary Studies (Behind the Veil). Major recent initiatives include the 2010 anniversary exploration of Black Reconstruction (1935) by W.E.B. Dubois. Duke also hosts an annual Latin American Labor History Conference (LALHC), founded in 1984, attended by specialists from around the country. Recent LALHC themes include "Military Labor in Latin America & Caribbean" (2011), "In First Person: Biography and History in Latin America" (2009), and "Nurturing Hope, Deepening Democracy, and Combating Inequalities in Brazil: An Assessment of Lula's Presidency" (2008).

Angels Wanna Wear My Red Shoes - Elvis Costello
Red Shoes
Oh, I used to be disgusted
And now I try to be amused
But since their wings have gotten rusted,
you know the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain,
that's when I knew that I could not refuse
And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes.
I was watching you while you're dancing away,
our love got fractured in the echo and sway
How come everybody wants to be your friend?
You know that it still hurts me just to say it
oh, I know that she's disgusted, feeling so abused.
She gets tired of the lust but it's so hard to refuse
How can you say that I'm too old
when the angels have stolen my red shoes?
Oh, I said I'm so happy I could die.
She said drop dead then left with another guy
That's what you get if you go chasing after vengenance
Ever since you got me punctured, this has been my sentence
Oh, I
Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. Red shoes
The angels wanna wear my red shoes

Winter is coming
Every Hebrew calendar geek knows the "ATBaSh" parlor trick, where if you know the day of the week of (almost) any Jewish holiday, you can quickly figure out the day of the week of (almost) any other holiday that year. As we have blogged before, this works only for the period from Adar through Cheshvan. Fortunately, that period includes all of the major holidays, and a few minor ones too. But it doesn't cover the minor holidays that fall during the winter, and that's what this post will seek to do.
The trick dates back at least to the Tur (14th century) and it works like this: Take the first six days of Pesach in a given year (note that the period from Adar to Cheshvan spans two Hebrew years, so we're looking at a given Gregorian year), and write the Hebrew alphabet backwards, starting from the end. You'll find that the corresponding holidays fall on the same day of the week as that day of Pesach.
1) תשעה באב = ת Tish'ah B'Av is always exactly 16 weeks after the first day of Pesach. (Also, 17 Tammuz is 3 weeks before 9 Av, and therefore the same day of the week. When they fall on Shabbat, as they will in 2012, the actual observance is delayed to Sunday.)
2) שבועות = ש Shavuot, by definition, is 7 weeks after the second day of Pesach.
3) ראש השנה = ר Rosh Hashanah. (Sukkot and Shemini Atzeret are also on the same day of the week.)
4) קריאת התורה = ק In communities that observe two days of Shemini Atzeret, this is "Simchat Torah" (on the second day of Shemini Atzeret).
5) צום כפור = צ Yom Kippur (9 days after Rosh Hashanah, and therefore 2 days of the week later). (Also, Tzom Gedaliah is 1 week before Yom Kippur and thus the same day of the week, except when it is delayed due to Shabbat.)
6) פורים = פ Purim (in unwalled cities).
The original version just covered the first six days of Pesach, but the 7th day was added in the 20th century:
7) עצמאות = ע Israeli Independence Day (at least before the Knesset starts mucking with the date).
It works so perfectly that one wonders whether this was the real reason that Ben-Gurion decided to declare independence a day before the British Mandate expired.
Other Israeli civil observances tied to the Hebrew calendar can also be located with this framework. Yom Hashoah is always the same day of the week as Purim (again, before the Knesset reschedules it); to remember this, note that some have suggested that Yom Hashoah is the Purim story without Esther. Yom Yerushalayim is exactly one week before Shavuot.
Finally, Lag Ba'Omer is also the same day of the week as Purim: not hard to remember.
Rosh Hashanah can fall on only four days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Shabbat), and therefore all of these other days are also restricted to four days. To figure out which four days, just use the relationships above. For example, Shavuot is on the day (of the week) before Rosh Hashanah, so it can only fall on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, or Friday.
During the winter months, it's not so simple. This is because there are three variables that can cause the calendar to be different from one year to the next:
1) Cheshvan can have 29 or 30 days.
2) Kislev can have 29 or 30 days.
3) There can be one or two months of Adar. (In leap years, Adar I is the "extra" month, and always has 30 days.)
In order to connect winter holidays to non-winter holidays, you need to know at least one of those three pieces of information. To keep it as simple as possible, the mnemonics below will be for a year that goes from Tevet to Kislev. (As a convenient and coincidental memory aid, this corresponds roughly to the Gregorian year, but not precisely: 10 Tevet can fall in either December or January. Thus some Gregorian years have two Fasts of Tevet, and some have none.) This way, you only have to know one additional variable: the number of days in Cheshvan (to expand forward into Kislev), or whether it's a leap year (to expand backward into Tevet and Sh'vat).
Let's start with days that depend only on whether it's a leap year, since that's something you're more likely to know off the top of your head.
Tu BiShvat: In a leap year, it's on the same day of the week as Rosh Hashanah. (Remember, this is the following Rosh Hashanah.) In a non-leap year, it's on the same day as Yom Kippur. Mnemonic: New Year of the Trees.
Since Tu BiShvat is the same day as Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur, there are five possible days of the week when it can fall: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Shabbat. (Neither Rosh Hashanah nor Yom Kippur can fall on Friday or Sunday.)
10 Tevet: It's always one day (of the week) after Tu BiShvat. Mnemonic: Deuteronomy 20:19 says that when you besiege a city, you shouldn't cut down the trees. Trees before siege.
Thus, 10 Tevet can also fall on five days of the week: Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. As a guest post here discussed, this makes it the only fast day that can fall on a Friday. As discussed there also, it can never fall on Shabbat, which makes the question of whether we would still fast purely hypothetical.
Finally, Chanukah. It's complicated because whether Cheshvan has 29 or 30 days in a given year isn't something we're likely to know without looking up. So here's a quick way to find that from information you're more likely to have handy (which just happens to also be the way it's determined in the calendar algorithm itself).
You need to know the day of the week of Rosh Hashanah this year and next year, and whether it's a leap year. From the number of days in between, you can figure out how many days are in the year. Non-leap years have 353, 354, or 355 days, and leap years have 383, 384, or 385 days, and it helps to remember that 350 and 385 are both divisible by 7. If the year has 353, 354, 383, or 384 days, then Cheshvan has 29 days; if the year has 355 or 385 days, then Cheshvan has 30 days.
Once you know that, then you can find which day of the week Chanukah begins on. If Cheshvan has 30 days, then Chanukah begins on the same day of the week as Rosh Hashanah (exactly 12 weeks later). If Cheshvan has 29 days, then Chanukah begins one day earlier, on the same day of the week as Shavuot. Mnemonic: Applesauce or sour cream?
Since Chanukah can begin on the same day as Rosh Hashanah or a day earlier, there are six days of the week when it can begin: all of them except Tuesday, because years beginning on Tuesday can only have 354 or 384 days, so in those years, Cheshvan always has 29 days (so Chanukah begins on Monday).
To see this in action, let's use this year (5772) as an example.
Starting with Chanukah: it's in 2011, so it goes with that set of holidays (Pesach on Tuesday, Rosh Hashanah on Thursday, etc.). Did Cheshvan have 29 or 30 days? Well, I know that Rosh Hashanah this year was on Thursday, and next year it's on a Monday, and this isn't a leap year. From Thursday to Monday is a 4-day gap, so this year must have 350+4 = 354 days. That means Cheshvan had 29 days. So Chanukah began on the same day of the week as Shavuot (one day before Rosh Hashanah): Wednesday.
For the minor holidays in Tevet and Sh'vat, we look instead at the upcoming holidays in 2012 (when Rosh Hashanah is on a Monday). It's not a leap year, so Tu BiShvat is on the same day as Yom Kippur: Wednesday. 10 Tevet is one day later, on Thursday.
Chodesh tov!

Excellent, as usual.ReplyDelete
Two details regarding the "ATBaSH" calculation:
1. Rashi (1040-1105, France) records the mneumonic in his commentary on Tractate Arachin, 9b. Ibn Ezra (~1092 - 1167) knows of it, as well, in his work on the calendar (Sod Ha-Ibbur, 2b). The Tur dates to c. 1260 - c. 1340.
2. The earliest written account I have seen of the extension of the mneumonic to include Yom Ha'atzmaut is an article in the newspaper "Davar" by Yom Tov Levinsky in the April 21, 1950 edition. You can see a scan of the section here: http://www.jpress.org.il/Default/Skins/TAUEn/Client.asp?Skin=TAUEn&Enter=True&Ref=REFWLzE5NTAvMDQvMjEjQXIwMDIwNg%3D%3D&Mode=Gif&Locale=english-skin-custom&AW=1324870169462&AppName=2
Another cute thing I once came up with is that a good way to think of Channukah is menorah, starting with mem-nun. If you extend the ATBaSH, mem-nun are the correct two possibilities for the first day of Channukah.

It's happening: I'm obsessed with Little Dragon's new album. It all started with the NPR First Listen. And you know how I love my NPR music.
The obsession crept in, slowly, but surely.
Could it be my innate love of Swedish bands? (For evidence, see here. And here. And here. Okay, so mostly I just love Lykke Li, whatever.)
In the last week, I've listened to the album on my commute to work, even when it turns to background music as I'm reading on the train (and I'm currently reading One Hundred Years of Solitude, le sigh); I listen to it while I write G-team deals; I listen while I walk back to the train at the end of the day.
So yeah, I'm obsessed. Because of this:
And this:
Listening to all this got me thinking about the first time I heard Little Dragon several years ago, when my friend Logan put the song "Scribbled Paper" on one of our mixtapes. It was love at first listen.
I'll leave you with another love of mine from that album:

Be patience, they will fix it
it's because the game patched TWICE yesterday. now that it is supposedly out of "beta" stage, it's updating MORE.. given the last 2 months of ridiculous mistakes, bugs, and updates that this game went through, this makes total sense
we'll get to it when we get to it.
I wasn't complaining Cal, was just saying to the guy that posted above me but forgot to quote
The stockpile option will be removed in the next trainer update.
Just wanted to pop in and say I don't mind the fact the the stockpile option only changes the total amount of stuff you can hope because this way if I collect more then I used to be able to hold it no longer "spoils" any extra.
Thanks guys!
The stockpile option will be removed in the next trainer update.
Stockpile works for me 1000/1000. Please dont take it out.
I found that you have to use TAB to open the PDA, use NUM 9, then using just the TAB button move over to the Resource page. All keyboard commands for some reason.

Known as El Colacho in Spain, the Baby-Jumping Festival is a popular event that takes place in Castillo de Murcia near Burgos, every year since 1620. It's basically all about infants laying on a blanket and adults dressed as devils jumping over them a procession that's supposed to cleanse the little ones of all evil doings. Doesn't sound like it works, but hey who am to contradict tradition? just wonder if in history any of the devils tripped and fell over the poor babie.

CompuLab has just introduced its new PC. It's fast, quiet and most importantly, it's tiny.
Designed around the Intel Atom Z530 1.6 Ghz processor, the smallish Fit-pc2 is a real power-saver too. It manages to run Microsoft Windows or Ubuntu Linux, using just 6W and can render full HD 1080p videos with just 7W.
The Fit-pc2 is fan and blower free, managing to stay cool thanks to its smart aluminum casing that dissipates heat. It may be just 4"x4.5"x1.05" (smaller that a CD), but it's a pretty mean machine for its size.

We are starting to realise what we put in our mouths can harm us. And I'm not referring to munging on a diseased, scab-ridden set of genitals, I'm talking about food. Food can pump you full of awesome, or it can fuck with you.
I'm an Australian nurse who is balls deep in a Masters of Nutrition. I've personally experienced the change good food can make. After reducing sugar and processed shit, under the care of my doctor, I quickly went from having ovaries as dud as a pair of fucking Crocs* to being so fertile I produced a small human by bloody accident (let's slow clap that doctor for forgetting to mention possibility of infertility reversal).
Despite the apparent revelation, I'm not a tossbag-food-saint. I eat burgers frequently (yes, even McDonalds, in fact, Ronald is a treasured and respected clown in my home), I drink (at times obscenely), and if I'm eating M&Ms you're fucking damn right I selected the jumbo pack, because fuck you, that's why. I subscribe to the 80/20 rule: 80% of the time, I make food choices that are excellent for my hotrod. 20% of the time, I'm an absolute prick to my body, and I say, "Body, take a backseat, you whinging cocksucker, it's the tastebud's turn to drive".
I started creating my own healthy recipes in my kitchen when I grew tired of being porked up the ring by other 'healthy' food pages. They seemed so preachy and perfect. Quite frankly it chapped my fanny. Plus some of the recipes tasted like penis.
So, Shannon's Kitchen is a place for family cooks to find inspiration for healthy meals that give the tastebuds the respect they fucking deserve. All content is punctuated with fruity language and inappropriate analogies. Anyone with feathers that easily ruffle will have to come to terms with that or should probably fuck off. You should know that I really like making jokes about penises. I once got told off over the loudspeaker at a petrol station for using the petrol hose as a makeshift pizzle and doing a cheeky little hump motion. "Bowser Three. Please don't do that with the hose." I was 26
So anyway, hi. Thanks for being here. Let's cook some healthy shit without giving too many fucks.

This is the glass of water that went missing at some point yesterday. Looked all over and couldn't find it. This morning when I reached for the cereal, there was my water glass, sitting on the top shelf of the pantry like it belonged there. I have no memory of putting it there.
ABSENTMINDEDNESS is what we call this, as if the mind were elsewhere, checked out, not on duty, phoning it in. Yeah, that sounds right. It occurs when life pulls us in so many directions that we are fully present to none of it. It happens to all of us sometimes. Life is like that.
Here are some things we can do to help…
1. Meditate. Even if only for 3 minutes a day, it strengthens the brain's ability to focus. Keep it simple and don't worry about "doing it right." Just do it.
2.Increase antioxidants. Many studies show that high antioxidant foods dramatically improve learning and cognition. Clinical studies on Ningxia wolfberry have shown that it has an anti-senility effect.
3. Use essential oils. Many oils cross the blood-brain barrier and directly affect the brain at a cellular level, bringing oxygen and removing waste buildup. The Essential Oils Desk Reference recommends these oils for absentmindedness:
Singles: Peppermint, vetiver, frankincense, rosemary, basil, cardamom
Blends: Clarity, M-Grain, Brain Power, Common Sense
Supplements: Ningxia Red, PD 80/20, OmegaGize, Master Formula HIS or HERS, Essentialzyme
May you enjoy PRESENTMINDNESS today!

Raspberry Pi has now sold ten million computers
While interviewing Eben Upton, founder of Raspberry Pi, back in 2013, he told me that he originally thought they might sell a couple of thousand units of the little educational computer. Their goal at the time was simply to get kids programming, like we did in the 80s with Sinclair Spectrums, BBC Micros and Commodore 64s.
pi from Lloyd Alter on Vimeo.
When I met him in Copenhagen for the INDEX Design to Improve Live Awards, they were up to half a million units and still in shock. Our posts about it were at that time among our most popular, so we were a bit shocked too.Now, it is hard to believe that they are up to ten million units. Eben writes about its start:
At the time, we thought our lifetime volumes might amount to ten thousand units – if we were lucky. There was was no expectation that adults would use Raspberry Pi, no expectation of commercial success, and certainly no expectation that four years later we would be manufacturing tens of thousands of units a day in the UK, and exporting Raspberry Pi all over the world.
With this in mind, you can imagine how strange it feels to be able to announce that over the last four and a half years we've sold a grand total of ten million Raspberry Pis. Thanks to you, we've beaten our wildest dreams by three orders of magnitude, and we're only just getting started. Every time you buy a Raspberry Pi, you help fund both our ongoing engineering work, and our educational outreach programs.
That's the important thing about the Pi: it's not just a computer, it is a charity. There have been a lot of imitators and competitors developed in the years since; here are 8 of them. But none of them have the mission that comes with the Pi:
What is a Raspberry Pi? from Raspberry Pi Foundation on Vimeo.
The Raspberry Pi Foundation works to put the power of digital making into the hands of people all over the world, so they are capable of understanding and shaping our increasingly digital world, able to solve the problems that matter to them, and equipped for the jobs of the future.
That's why the Pi is the one to buy. It's not just a computer, it's part of a charity with the purpose "to further the advancement of education of adults and children, particularly in the field of computers, computer science and related subjects". As they say in their strategy report, "We use profits generated from our commercial activities to pursue our educational goals".
And it is a lot of fun to use. Congratulations to the Pi people on this milestone; may they sell a hundred million more.

A local man will not have a record if he follows his probation conditions.
Allan Ross Barabash was handed a conditional discharge and probation for one year in provincial court here April 23.
He had earlier pleaded guilty to two charges of possession of stolen property under $5,000.
On Nov. 15, 2013, Terrace RCMP were called when a suspicious man was noticed trying doors of vehicles parked at the Husky on Lakelse Ave., said police at that time.
Police located the 64-year-old man on Lakelse, arrested him for theft and seized numerous stolen items found on him.
These items were returned to four separate businesses in the area of Lakelse and the man was released on conditions, said police.
Barabash will also have to pay a victim fine surcharge of $100.
A charge of breaching an undertaking was stayed by the court.

The star-studded soundtrack for Rio 2 doesn't hit shelves until March 25, but Billboard has an exclusive stream of the Atlantic Records track list one day before its official release. Among the 14 Brazil-inspired tracks are Janelle Monae's previously released opening number "What Is Love?," the catchy Ester Dean-B.o.B. collaboration called "Rio Rio," and two versions of Philip Lawrence's anthem "It's a Jungle Out Here," each sprinkled with tribal sounds and pop/hip-hop beats. PHOTOS: Top 10 Movie Songs of All Time The soundtrack also features duets and ensemble songs by the film's voice cast, including Kristin Chenoweth, Anne Hathaway, Jamie Foxx, Jemaine Clement, Rita Moreno, Jesse Eisenberg, Andy Garcia, Bruno Mars and more, including a particularly vivid cover of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" that layers Clement's rap verses over Chenoweth's opera singing. Rio 2 will follow Blu (Eisenberg), a neurotic blue macaw, and Jewel (Hathaway), his free-spirited mate, as well as their three kids. The conflict of the film arises when Jewel expresses her desire to raise the chicks in the Amazon as "real birds" rather than in their current domesticated environment. Leslie Mann, will.i.am, John Leguizamo, George Lopez, Tracy Morgan, Today anchor Natalie Morales and X Factor finalist Rachel Crow also appear in the film. The Rio 2 soundtrack will be released March 25, while the film flies into theaters April 11.

And I'm scheduling in my planning for the year.
I had intended to do it while away over New Years. But there wasn't time.
So I was going to do it at my birthday. Maybe it's just me, but an imminent marriage breakdown on my birthday doesn't put me in the most positive place for self-reflection.
And now I'm in Bali. And I have time away from lots of things - mainly from all those things in my life that I can't control anyway - which makes it easier to let go of everything else and concentrate on me. What do I want to make, have, do, this year?
In the universe's beautifully perfect way, it has reassured me I am doing this planning at just the right time - Monday, March 31st is Nyepi: Balinese New Year.
The timing couldn't be more perfect. For me.
As a part of getting ready for this planning day, I was checking back on my "100 Things to Do in 2013". And it made me a little sad. There are a number of items on there I was not able to cross off: mostly those that involved my love.
If I'd written my new 100 list on New Year's Day, I promise you I'd be saying the same thing next year. On January 1st, I had a very different idea of how this year was going to shape up.
Now I am in a completely different place personally, emotionally, physically and financially. Any plans made earlier would have been thrown out the window, or worse, would have made me feel like a failure.
My point is this: there is no universal perfect time for everyone to do their planning. And you don't just do it the once.
So, in case you don't know - you are totally perfect if you haven't worked out your 2014 To Do list, or set intentions or even put birthdays in your calendar. It's not too late. You have permission to do them now. Or later.
And if you wrote out a whole lot of over-indulgence induced "I'm gonna make Mother Teresa look like a b in 2014" intentions back in January, you have permission to chuck them out and start over. Or not, if they are lighting up your life, keep on going!
And, darling dearest ones, if you are 32, childless and looking down the barrel of divorce, or 42 and dreading each new day at the office, or 52 and bummed you've never seen the pyramids - it's not too late to dream, then write a plan to make that dream come true.
It's too late for us to stay stuck on our scripts. We've seen the other side - we've dreamed, and now we want those dreams to come true.
Get onto that planning, because your dream is waiting to come true - and it's too late to stop it now.
Thank goodness for that.

Monthly Archives: January 2016
Commodity Based Stock Play
Our business focuses on the commodity complex. We rely on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Commitment of Traders report to sort out what the major players are doing in the commodity markets. Our focus lies with the commercial trader category of this report. These are the traders who either have the commodity to sell or, will be using the commodity in their manufacturing processes. Following the commercial traders category, as a whole, for a given commodity can provide us with a consensus opinion from the world's largest producers and end users of a commodity. There are times, like now, when their collective actions in the commodity markets can pay direct dividends to equity traders, both in individual stocks as well as commodity based ETF's.
Stock Indices Bottom at 2015 Lows
Most of our trading is based on the consensus opinion of the commercial trader group as reported in the weekly Commitment of Traders report. We track their behavior in a couple of different ways but the simple conclusion is that we want to buy when they're buying and sell when they're selling. You'll see the net commercial trader position plotted in the second pane of the stock index charts, below. We measure their actions on a sum and momentum basis. This allows us to determine how anxious the commercial traders are to get their trades executed at a given price level which, in turn, tells us a lot about the importance of a given area. Obviously, the previous year's lows are an important area. Based on the collective actions of the commercial traders across the major indices, we've issued a COT Buy signal.
Equities to Peak in January
Bond Spreads Will Set Year's Tone
Our theme continues, the Treasury Bond market spreads will set the tone for 2016. We wrote here at Equities.com on January 5th that, "US Bond Little Changed in Spite of Chaos." The chaos has certainly continued with the S&P 500 off nearly 5% since then and China's issues are anything but settled. It's not very often that the workings of the global economy can be examined in real-time through the lens of a daily chart. We think the congestion in the U.S. interest rate markets is providing us with this rare opportunity as we speak and that its forecasting abilities could set the tone for the rest of the year.
Commitment of Traders Report Points Towards Cheap Sugar
We've suggested that the recent rally of more than 50% since August 24th in #11 sugar futures is unsustainable, even to the point that we sold the market early in October in anticipation of its failure. As usual, the market told us exactly what we could do with our, "suggestions." Fortunately, the consolidation between November and December has provided us with another chance to short the market. This time, perhaps even more decisively thanks to increased commercial trader selling as reported by the CFTC in its weekly Commitment of Traders report.

US Bonds Little Changed in Spite of Chaos
The Federal Reserve has hiked interest rates for the first time in years, China is falling apart and tensions continue to grow between Saudi Arabia and Iran. The combined chaos these events have generated have moved the 30-Year Treasury Bond futures less than one handle over the last year. In fact, the converted yield on the 30-year Treasury Bond futures has risen .0726% over the last calendar year. Therefore, in spite of the noise in the markets, the reality is that not much has changed.

Chat not loading at all.
Attacks incoming on the Kingdom, but not visible on the icon below the crown, where you normally can see it.
Can't collect tributes, need to click every single thing every time it lags.
Totally ruins the experience, when you have a gov under attacks.
But no one can do a deff call or inform others about it.
When your chat is down all the time.
Leader boards not showing information at all.
Everytime I need to reload because of your mistakes.
I keep getting logged into one of the two sitters I'm on.
Seriously, I can't even have my sitters open while I reload.
Timers stuck at 00:00
Just everything is broken. 23/24 hours a day.
Oh wait, the only thing you can do always. Is to spend & purchase gold.
I'm disconnected every 1-2 minutes
still same like 1 day it was good after that same again need to reload evert 2-3 min and if i tab out [ go to another tab on browser ] need to reaload . attacks / chat[msg] / merchants nothing update.
how can we send cata wave like this if i change to another tab on browser need to reload each tab so i can send attack waves with 30sec-1min delay with each wave . you think its good ????
no rush, just reporting things. its okay now, but damn, i feel bad with the downvote
@Shardrox, can you tell us what issue you were having? That would help us identify the problem. Was it the chat messages not loading? A stuck timer? What happened?
@Reinhart#EN Same, for you, can you give us more details? What error or issues caused this?
Thank you for your help.
look, i dont know what caused this, my guess its a server load issues but who knows. I could tell you what happen like others have been saying, cant load chats, conquered oasis arent showing in the embassy and even sometimes, like i have experienced, some red error tab popup and requires me to reload in order things "go" right. i dont have any screenshot, but ill a.s.a.p
Thanks for providing the information. I assure you the team is looking into these issues with the highest priority at the moment.
I'll inform you right away as soon as the devs have some news and I'll keep sending them all your technical feedback and error reports so they can find the cause of the problem sooner.
Please send me that screenshot as soon as you can get it, @Reinhart#EN.
its got so bad today around 9-10AM server time GMT+1
Please send me that screenshot as soon as you can get it, @Reinhart#EN.
Here it is
and again, the same problems as we now had so often. No chat at all for several minutes already and it's so essential
to have the chat to be able to coordinate everything.
Honestly it's meanwhile hard to believe that anything is done in the background. And it's not nice to make promises again and again
and say it should have improved whilst nothing has improved!!!
and now again..... how shall we be able to coordinate anything with this? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hi all,
Our devs have tried different methods to increase performance and fix the issues you've experienced, but it seems like some of you still have issues, so they're still working on this with the highest priority. We would appreciate it if you could give us some extra information and screenshots so it's easier for them to pinpoint the problem exactly.
Right now, the problem is that some of the issues you're experiencing are not related to each other, so it's difficult to determine the problem.
To help us find the problem, please answer these questions:
1- Are you facing problems with the chat? Our understanding is that when this happens, the messages window is empty, like this. Is this the problem you're facing?
2- How long does this last usually?
3- Does it work again if you refresh (F5) the page or does it continue to be empty for some time after refreshing?
4- Do the other players get the problem at the same time?
5- What's your browser? (version if possible too!)
6- What's your Operating System?
7- Most useful of all: when this happens, press F12 in the browser to open the dev console and take a screenshot. This is what the window looks like.
8- After this screenshot, press Network, like in the screenshot here. Then take another screenshot of this window.
9- If the problems are performance in general, in addition please open the task manager (Control + Shift + ESC), press "show more details" and click on "Performance", like shown in the screenshot here and take a screenshot.
We're trying our best to fix it as soon as possible, so we really appreciate any help we can get. Thank you!

Recovery from Bipolar Disorder
By kkestebo
Category: Uncategorized
I have recently written a book I hope to publish soon called The Trilogy of Bipolar Recovery. In my book I recall my life as an uncontrolled bipolar person and show how I worked through that stage to become a well, functioning, productive member of society. I am in the final stages of finding a way to publish the book, and when it comes out, I'd like to share it with every bipolar person I can find. More to come.

dklab_logreplica: gathers logs from multiple machines into one place in realtime
(C) Dmitry Koterov, http://en.dklab.ru/lib/dklab_logreplica/
License: GPL
This simple, but very handy and powerful tool allows you to pull logs
from the whole cluster to a single logging server in realtime. These
logs may be used for monitoring, aggregation or analyzing.SYNOPSIS1. Choose your logging server: it is a machine with root account and
/opt/dklab_logreplica/ directory holding dklab_logreplica scripts.
2. Copy dklab_logreplica.init into /etc/init.d/dklab_logreplica and
setup its automatical startup at server boot time.
3. Copy default config file dklab_logreplica.conf.sample to
/etc/dklab_logreplica.conf and modify it according to your needs:
- specify which host you want to pull the logs from,
- what files to replicate (you may specify wildcards freely)
- what destination directory is used to put the logs to.
4. Create SSH private-public key pair using "ssh-keygen -t rsa".
Put public key to each of logs source machines using
"ssh-copy-id root@machine-to-be-pulled" - you should have
access to all these machines from the log server without
entering a password.
5. Now run /etc/init.d/dklab_logreplica start
After all that steps logs from source machines will be automatically
and continuosly replicated to the log server in the background (with
support of reconnects and resumes if the connection is not stable).
You may monitor the activity at standard /var/log/messages file.
No need to configure source machines - the single configuration
point is dklab_logreplica.conf at your logging server.THE PROBLEM WHICH IS SOLVEDIf you have many machines in your cluster which perform different tasks
(e.g. SQL server, web-frontend, balancer, mail server etc.), you may want
to aggregate logs from all these machines to a single place to monitor them
or to preform various statistics collections. Of course you may configure
syslog or syslog-ng to pass all the data over the network, but if you do
so, you are face to face with the following problems:
1. Due to network problems pieces of logs may not be correctly transfered,
so you may loose data.
2. It is quite hard to keep the syslog configuration in sync with real
world (which is changing time to time, you know).
3. Not all services support putting logs into syslog (e.g. apache supports
only file-based logs writing). So you have to use named pipes, and your
configs grow.
4. Quite oftenly you want to replicate logs filenames by their wildcards
specified. Syslog cannot do that.
5. At least, it is good to hold all logs at the machines at which they
are produced (with e.g. weekly rotation) in addition to send them
to a logging server. So your configs are growing again...
Dklab_logreplica solves all that problems.

The Luberon in Provence – A Complete Guide | www.theluberon.com
The Luberon in Provence – A Complete Guide | www.theluberon.com.
I always wanted to see the lavender fields in Provence. That dream came true this past July.
A favorite village was Roussillon. The ocher cliffs surrounding the town are just beautiful.
There are many cafes and shops. I especially enjoyed PPP Roussillon En Provence, a cafe and olive oil store.
Our friend Matthew (amazing how you bond over food) helped us taste several varieties of olive oil.
We tasted one he actually harvested and pressed himself. It was lovely learning about the process.
I am trying to convince him that it would be fun to have guests join him in November and learn about the harvest and the process first hand.
Any takers?

I have been blogging for over a year now and I have learnt so much in that time. Not to put anyone off, but it's a whole other world! Blogging. It's almost like an alternate universe!
In the last few weeks I've had a few newer (than me) bloggers ask my advice on certain aspects of blogging, which has been humbling as there are so many more seasoned and experienced bloggers than me, and there are many newer bloggers who have a larger following than me. After the 3rd or 4th person, I realised that my knowledge has been gained the hard way, and if people want to learn from my experience then that is fine with me!
Before we go any further let me just say that there is no magic formula to become a huge blogger overnight, unless you pay for followers which will basically ruin any credibility you may have ever had, so don't do that!
Yes, "we" can tell. Yes, it is dumb. No, don't do that!
Always remember this saying, if you've not heard it before:
Content Is King!
People start blogging for lots of different reasons. I started for the sole purpose of regaining my sanity once both my girls were settled into a school routine. Some people start blogs for the sole purpose of making money. If you're looking for how to go straight to that then this is not the post for you. Thanks for stopping by.
With those two positions made, I will aim to give you the fairly simple way to start your own blog based on my personal experience and the lessons I have learnt along the way. However, there is a lot to take into consideration so go make that cup of coffee before we really get started!
Okay, let's get started! I will try my best to keep this simple.
What Do You Want To Blog About?
Please know that it is perfectly acceptable to be a little torn and undecided, know that! Know that you are 'on the fence', undecided, torn. Just remember that. You don't have to pick one topic, but just know that you are undecided.
Advance Research
Research the various blog platforms available and decide how much you want to spend. There are quite a few to choose from such as WordPress, Blogger, Tumblr, Wix, and many more. They will all offer various packages ranging from the basic free plans to the more professional premium cost plans.
*Tip – if you are trying blogging out for the first time, the basic free plans are really great! You can always upgrade later on when you want to. There is no need to spend too much money initially.
Choose A Name
Decide on a name for your blog. If you aren't really sure what you will be blogging about, or if you have a couple of different ideas, I'd recommend choosing a name that doesn't define only one of those markets – as you can see, my name aligns me clearly as a "mommy blogger". I do write about other stuff now too, so sometimes I find my name doesn't fit the topic. That's what I mean. Don't make that mistake.
However, if you have a firm idea in mind, be it travel, or parenting, beauty or cooking, then claim that. Know your identity. That is great and it will help to keep you focused.
Once you have a name in mind, go on google and check that it isn't already taken. Do a bit of research. You may need to tweak your idea here and there.
You'll want to make sure that your chosen name is available across the various social media platforms that are most widely used to promote your blog. You won't want to have different names on each platform so as a minimum go and check the following:
- Blog domain (WordPress etc. )
- Email address (gmail, yahoo, live, etc.)
- Google +
- YouTube.
There are many others too, but those are the most widely used.
A lot of you may think this is not necessary, but trust me. IF you discover that you love blogging, and writing and the whole blogosphere world, then you will regret not claiming these at the beginning. Truly! It's so important. Just do it. Even if you never use them, at least they are yours!
Okay, this is the super exciting part! Once you know your name, you're ready to register! First you need to register your email address (because you will need that to register your name on all the other platforms). Then go to the blog host of your choice, and register your name with your preferred blogging platform (i.e. WordPress).
And voila! You have a blog!
Now you need to go about reserving your blog/brand name across the various social media platforms as listed above – all of them!
Top Tip: Write down your username and password for each one as you go. Some have different requirements when choosing a password/username etc so it is easy to get confused.
Like it or not, your name is your brand so when you decide to start your blog, make sure you like it.
The next thing to do is to create a logo that suits your name and blog objective, and try to define a look that will make your blog easily recognizable and uniform across the various social media platforms. Don't worry too much, you can always change this later down the line. The key is to keep your brand image uniform at all times.
There are many awesome designers out there who can help you with this if it's not your forte', all for a reasonable fee. Remember, you get what you pay for.
That said, there are also a huge number of free online resources you can use to create your own logo including sourcing free pictures. My personal favourites are Canva (for all blog post headers and images including tweaking your Instagram images with a few words, and then Pixabay who offer a huge range of free images to chosse from when you don't want to take your own mediocre photos (assuming you're not a photographer of course!). It all depends on your personal level of creativity, and of course, your budget.
This might be the hardest part, or the easiest part, depending on you. It's time to write. Time to show us what you have to say! Go on. Write!
Promote … Yes, Promote!
After you have created your first post, you need to share it. Share your posts across the various platforms you already reserved above. Many of these you can link to your blog using the publicize function and share all at once with the click of one button. Sometimes it's a case of copy & pasting.
You do need to make use of the top 3 though: Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
Trust me, just do it.
Always remember, you might be the most amazing writer with the most innovative and engaging ideas, thoughts and perspective. But if you don't share them, no one will ever know.
Engage with your audience. Reply to comments on your posts, follow a few blogs that you like to read. Read other people's stuff. Follow people whose pictures inspire you. Share other people's work on your social media platforms. This show s that you are actively enageing in the community you want to be a part of.
By doing this, you will grow your following.
If you don't engage with people in the online community you won't get engagement back. Simple as that.
Whilst self-promotion might make you cringe at first, remember that if you don't make sure pther people 'hear' what you have to say, you may as well be quiet.
Lastly, but equally as importantly as the other steps above, remember to 'mind your manners'! Yes, Yes, I'm a mom!
Say what you want to say, far be it from me to censor anyone, but even the most opinionated blogger out there, needs to remember to mind their manners. My advice would be to not say something online that you wouldn't be willing to say in person. Let that be your filter.
Other than that I've written a couple of posts about this very subject that have been very warmly received 'out there' that I would urge you to read:
And that's it … the rest is up to you.
I could go on and on about the various ins and outs of the different platfoms, such as the use of hashtags, linkys, groups, etc, but really … if you don't start just writing, all of the above is pointless.
Just write!
You need to take your own thoughts, words and ideas, and craft them into something intelligible, then share them with the world! The quality of your work will come, the quality of your images will come, and your knowledge of the social media minefield will come, all in good time, all through trial, error and experience.
Simple, right?
Clear as mud!
Let me know if this post helped you. If any other more experienced bloggers have anything they'd like to add, please let me know. Also, if you want any further advice or assistance, please feel free to get in touch.
I love helping people to help themselves! I hope this post helps you if you are considering jumping into the awesome blogosphere. If so, How To Start A Blog was written to help you. Please share if you think it is useful.

OnBase provides a scalable foundation to the document-centric needs across all tribal community business units such as Business Committee, Land Management, Accounting, Healthcare Services, Employee Health, Gaming Operations, Higher Education, Security and more!
Oneida Nation has +2,800 employees in over 58 different site locations and is known for its seven gaming sites, over 2,420 slot machines, table games, poker tables, and bingo seats.
The Client
With the selection of an OnBase document management solution through Naviant, the Oneida Tribe of Indians of Wisconsin created for themselves an opportunity to significantly improve the way it managed its physical documents.

The strategy was to offer a system that was scalable and supported document storage and retrieval across all Oneida business units."
OnBase has truly become an important enterprise asset for the Oneida Tribe of Indians of WI. Since the initial implementation, Oneida Nation has over 2.4 million documents in their OnBase system and over 600 employees in over 20+ departments using OnBase.
Departments Utilizing OnBase
- Board & Business Committees
- Central Accounting & Purchasing
- Cultural Heritage
- Gaming
- Health Center & Medical Records
- Higher Education
- Human Resources
- Judicial System
- Land Management & Zoning
- MIS & Security
- Records Management
This case study covers the details and key benefits of how Oneida Nation in Green Bay, WI implemented OnBase.
