Taglio TSC Smart Card Integration Kit
Smart Card Authentication for Android
With Taglio TSC, Systems Administrators and Software Developers can implement Smart Card based authentication using most web-enabled Android Applications. Taglio TSC requires no modification to servers or applications, and supports most web enabled Android apps with minimal configuration – including popular web browsers such as Chrome™, Dolphin®, Firefox® and Opera®.
Smart Cards can be connected using the Near Field Communications (NFC) reader built into many Android devices or a supported USB smart card reader such as Identive's CLOUD 2910 R . Taglio TSC supports multiple cards, including the Taglio C2 series, smart cards based on the US Government Personal Identity Verification standard (PIV, PIV-I and CIV), as well as contact and contactless/NFC cards from multiple other vendors.
Simple and Secure End User Experience
For the enterprise end-user Taglio TSC is simple and effective. The Taglio TSC main screen allows the end-user to quickly select the credential to use, and the site to connect to. The end user can then quickly launch the application to use with the selected credential; the Taglio Secure browser, a browser like Firefox or Opera, or another application.
Enterprise security and trust are managed through a security profile that can be customized for the Card Issuer or Enterprise. This profile includes a trust store with certificates for server and client validation, a list of managed destinations, supported card profiles, supported readers, and relevant security settings. It also includes a list of bookmarks for the end user to choose from.
Taglio TSC Architecture
When the server requests a client certificate authentication for a smart card based certificate the TSC Middleware uses the configured profile to communicate with the Smart Card , present the User PIN, and handle the cryptographic transaction.
After the secure connection is established, TSC uses the proxy interface to make available the connection to the client application. No changes have to be made to the client application – the application only has to be configured to use the Taglio TSC local proxy interface. Any Android application that can support HTTPS connections and a proxy can be configured to work with Taglio TSC.
Taglio Secure Browser
The Taglio Secure Browser is a full featured open-source browser that has been modified to support the Taglio TSC Proxy Interface directly. The Taglio Secure Browser can be used by end users without any additional configuration, and by software developers as an example of how to interface to Taglio TSC.
Licensing and Partner Program
Taglio TSC is available for licensing to Large Enterprise and System Integrators. Software Developers and Hardware Manufacturers interested in bundling or integrating their products with Taglio TSC can join the Taglio Partner Program.

Hub score - Hubris?
I love writing and love to share my experiences with others. When I first found HubPages, I hadn't realized the hubs were scored, so initially I paid no heed to my number. However, when I caught on to the fact that this was a value of my work and hubtivity, then I became interested. Each time my score went up or down a little, so did my smile.
Lets face it, improving ones score is insidious and infectious. I caught the hub bug about two months ago having come back to HubPages after a few months writing elsewhere. I was surprised to find I had a score in the 80's (after months with no added stories or hubtivity) and was encouraged by kind comments on my hubs from fellow hubbers.
I was further titillated with the new accolades and so with reawakened interest I decided to find out how to affect my score without writing a new hub. After tweaking a couple of the stories by adding more links (now we also have HubKarma to worry about) I noticed my score went up 5 points, then dropped 2, up 1 etc. I noted that my hub score (and smiles) climb rapidly with a new hub and then drop after a few days; it obviously pays to keep up productivity..and to keep smiling :-)
I wondered how I could more accurately manage these score (mood) swings. I found the technical answers to this question within the many helpful hubs on 'how to improve your hub score.' But in this hub I'm more interested in discussing the hook that these "quantifiable's" emote.
I mean, why would I be bothered by a number someone ascribes to my hub, when I realize the hub score isn't based just on writing talent and hub content? I think maybe because its a form of judgment and we don't write to be judged...or do we?
Being scored reaches the roots of the need for approval, pride in ones work, competitiveness, insecurity, etc. Writers put themselves out there ~ a part of the writer's essence is etched into every hub. So maybe that part feels judged and pride comes into play. On the whole I believe most of us aren't writing on Hubpages to make money or to be judged, but because we love to share through writing. (That in itself is an emotional act ).
Having read my share of other hubs, I'm amazed at the large number of excellent and talented writers on HubPages, and I feel humbled in this esteemed company. I've also noticed that the hub score doesn't necessarily reflect the talent of the writer, or the content of the hub.
So meanwhile, I find myself content when I have fan mail, when my score has gone up and when I have comments to read, but also a little pissed off when my score drops seemingly arbitrarily. It's hard not to get caught up when it's somewhat outside of your control. (what, a control freak, moi? Never!)...
So, I would really appreciate your feedback on the emotion attached to your 'number.' Thanks for your input in the following poll:
Does your hub score bother you?
Being new to this and not knowing what I do right when I do it or what I do wrong when I do that I find the scoring very baffling. I enjoyed reading your thoughts, thank you I voted you up! I assume that is the thing to do when you like someone writing.
brightforyou, thank you for directing me to this...you say it with grace, honesty and class! Yes I think those numbers hook the pride a bit...lol...and control? let's not speak of it! LOLOLOL! Hugs for a job well done here!
it's only natural to be affected by your hub score - one of mine dropped to about 42 before going up to the mid-60's. It's very hard to predict a trend when they yo-yo like that
Hi, Brightforyou,
I clicked on the "useful" button and voted you up.
As for the feedback you requested, well, I guess I am too new to make an informed statement, but I am a teacher and we usually like rubrics.
The bottom line is, I do not like not knowing how to get an "A," I guess.
Thank you for an informative, well-written hub.
Really useful hub. Thanks.
Great article. The hub score seems a little mysterious to me. I let this account sit for two years with no hubs and my score was down to 41, starting improving it about a month ago. It's a fun challenge.
Sometimes I allow a hub to sit unpublished for a couple days and the score rises and my overall score isn't affected.
Congrats on being here a year!
Why thank you brightforyou! I will return the compliment
How the scores are tallied still has me baffled, but I have given up trying to understand it. I like the community here, so I'll stick around, but I wish there was some clear cut way to figure it out. I haven't found it yet.
I ticked the 'funny' box, but as in funny-peculiar. Why should I care about my hub score - but I do! Not a lot, but I do look at it and when it is high feel happier.
Really well written! I just joined HubPages myself and don't particularly enjoy the scoring either. Rated up and voted!
as usual an very informative hub keep up the good work. Keep on writing. For my own vote it was score affects me slightly, but I am quite busy with hubpages so there you go. Rated up and useful
Please count me in,I am here just for the sake of fun of all the experience and getting to know so many intellectual and interesting people.
Great topic, especially for new Hubbers! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this.
brightforyou-what a fabulous hub! I know I used to feel so distressed at my varying scores, asking the HubGods, "What's going ON??"
Ah, after time, it does become somewhat of an amusement.
Great job.
Well said!
The score is mostly affected by activity - witing - commenting - following others - forum participation (every time you push a button)
The activity is being indexed by Google and we know what motivates Google; talent is not one of the factors for sure, content about specific topics, where Google can attache adds and make a Profit, is
I admit to finding the Hub Score baffling and I've never bothered to find out what I can do to make it go up! Now you've got me interested. Great links and references - thank you.
:) I fail totally to understand the technicalities of Hubpages. It is easy and many hubbers have made it easier with their experiences but I still can not get the hang of adsense/amazon/ebay-whatever,SEOs etc. etc.
So, I come and write to vent and share. I like the community hubpages has and it gave me friends. I also admit that there are times when I want to write for money but I fail. Absolutely FAIL and I do not regret at all.:)
"On the whole I believe most of us aren't writing on Hubpages to make money or to be judged, but because we love to share through writing. (That in itself is an emotional act )"
You hit it on the head there! I think you have expressed the thoughts of many with this hub - well done!
I also think it is possible there may be some petty game-playing that goes on with scores but as long as people remember why they are here, this shouldn't matter. Just keep writing and keep enjoying what you are doing!
Voted up and useful!
I like your style of writing,thought provoking subject, thank you. it is always interesting to read what other Hubbers feel about hubscores etc. so this was well worth the read. Especially as I have seen some excellent writers hurt by scores.
Once you know that the hubscore is not based on quality it is easier to 'detach' from being as interested or bothered by it. At one stage I found it annoying that my most popular hub was not one I would have picked.
Voted up and useful, very useful. I don't like much scores, especially because, as you said, many times they do not at all reflect talent, but other things. And we all are affected when scores go down. :)

|introduction to the
Fest. Most folks didn't know how old this musical instrument
is (>3000 BC), that it was first used in religious rites, that Abraham
probably left the city of Ur because they had too many bone players in
town. The Bones were played in Europe throughout the dark ages and
they were popularized in America by slaves on southern plantations. A great
review and captured on tape by Al Cowett.
Carl Hedrick was his usual wonderful comic self with historical comments and hysterical challenges about our favorite pastime. Upon his return to Fincastle, VA he got a three page write up in the Fincastle Herald about the bones (that's a lot of coverage). Well Done!
There were several
new styles of boning presented at this years festival: Martha added some
zest to the Fest with a Swing number where she accompanied The Brian Setzer
Orchestra (of course it was on CD!)
|Russ gave a demonstration of changing the pitch without interrupting play, an accomplishment that few bones players can do. Because of that amazing talent Bones Fest 98 declaired him Mr. Bones USA, 1998. To the left is a picture of Russ recieving his award. By the way, Russ is an excellent teacher. Everett just about has it! (of course he is blaming his difficulties on the bones themselves...)
|Tom Cowett, to the
right here, having a very unique approach to clicking, gave us a
good taste of what a drummer can do with the bones. He sort of plays
them like he plays the drums. He is definitely in control of the
clicks (no slop here!)
John Cowett, Martha and a guest, Bill Swerin from "The Talking Drum", (a percussion supply shop in Greensboro, NC) had a great sort of funky type hippie type groovy sound going. Jerry Garcia would have been proud!
In addition to bones playing, Dan Cowett and Tom Rice prepared some live BonesGrass music on guitar and banjo for us to click to. Great job, and we loved it. Tom also did some special clicking to 1800's music.
The festival's finale was a synchronized harmony performed by the whole Cowett family. The next time we do this in public we promise to rehearse before we go live but it didn't sound too bad.

My first–ever blogathon entry for Analyzing De Niro over at Mark's and Tyson's De Niro blog. Awesome blogathon, if you haven't checked it out yet, do so!
Review by Elina of Films and Coke
Plot: What if one of gangland's Dons suddenly started having anxiety attacks because of past problems. When he decides to see a shrink, what can he tell him without giving away the gang's secrets and reveal too much about his own situations? Add to the fact that this type of individual is used to everyone catering to his whims and he expects the psychiatrist to do the same, neglecting his regular practice and his attempts to get married.

The archaeology of wind
The archaeology of wind
Is a moment in the shape of a cloud
A style of humidity
An inflexion of temperature
The invisible colour of blue
And vectors that flower from crystals
Troupes of wings
Tissues on fine ribs
Algebras of curves
The geometries of curvature
Vibrations of laminar flows
Kicking it
The fields wind themselves
The fields walk into the moon
Get with what you've got
What you've got
The maps trickle mica plates
We fall into the trapezoidal air
The bright is darker
We're all just doing what we can eh
We're all just doing what we can eh
Walking back down to the base of the ladder
Kicking it
Kicking it

Blinded in the jungle
I am blinded in the jungle

A chi square measure of association

French doors are known for their attractive appearance, but owners of French doors know that it can be very difficult to find a screening solution for these doors. When you are looking for a screening solution, here are a few questions you should ask:
1) Does the screen unit cover both panels of my French door?
This is important to ask because if the panels cannot both be covered at once (which is often the case with sliding screens) you cannot open both sides of your French door simultaneously.
2) Does each side of the screen move independently of the other?
If both panels are covered simultaneously, make sure that the screen mimics your French door meaning that you can open close single sides at a time. Sometimes, retractable screens (especially ones that utilize a magnet-only closure system) must either both be open or both be closed because they need to utilize each other's' magnets to stay closed.
Phantom screens, by comparison, use a latching system regardless of whether or not magnets are part of the mechanism. This allows you to open one half of the door if you are going in and out of the home, allowing your other hand to be free for drinks, food, etc.
3) Will the system required a middle style to be mounted?
Most people looking for French door retractable screens are doing so to preserve the look and feel of their home. Don't compromise on that! Phantom Screens don't require a distracting center bar for the retractable screens to latch. The quickest way to check for this is by looking for three piece (housing, top and bottom track) rather than four piece (housing, top, bottom, and side tracks) products.
4) How knowledgeable is the installer?
Regardless of who you choose as your retractable screen door provider, make sure that the installer is knowledgeable. French doors, as with most doors, aren't always perfectly framed. This is why DIY products, while cheaper, can be very difficult to fit to a French door. Please, please spend a little extra to have a trained professional install your retractable screens, French or otherwise…you'll be glad you did in the end.
Lastly, make sure you do your research. French doors are meant to be visually pleasing and retractable screens (in our somewhat biased opinion), are the best way to create air flow, keep out bugs, and block heat from sunlight. Feel free to call us with any questions about retractable screens for French doors or any other application. We're happy to help!

Your Journey to Wellness
The concept of wellness captivates my attention and curiosity and has for nearly fifty years. I define wellness not merely as the absence of disease, but as the presence of physical, emotional and spiritual vitality and radiance.
My God-given passion for the natural growth process logically evolved into my career purposes. I long to empower women to experience wellness throughout all their life seasons. My aspiration is to provide simple methods and practical tools for discovering and dispelling myths that many women unconsciously hold about their mind-body-spirit connection.
As I facilitate workshops and work with women one-on-one, many ask me to write down the nutritional information and methods I share. The book you hold in your hands is my loving attempt to share this valuable and exciting material with you.
Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence. Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance. Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence. Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance. ~Yoko Ono

3 tips to build a recession proof M&A firm
March 5, 2018
Sooner or later, we will start seeing the M&A market contract as the economy softens. No one really knows when this will happen, but we all know deep down that it will.
Working at an M&A firm during a down cycle can be tough. Deal volume is down, values are depressed and you go from feast to famine.
What if I told you there was a way you could ease the pain of a potential downturn? Well, there is!
Recession proof M&A firms have a lot in common – here are a few strategies you should consider adopting to manage through a downturn…
1. Sell Something Else
All of the most productive middle-market M&A firms sell something other than exits.
Having a low(er) cost service to offer as a point of entry, can help you keep the lights on while building long-term client relationships all at once. Ask yourself 'What am I an expert in? Can I sell it?"
During the last downturn, I supplemented my M&A income through a combination of turn-around consulting and custom financial reporting dashboard development. At the time, future sell-side clients were willing to invest smaller amounts of money to gain visibility or see immediate improvement. Can you do something similar?
The most common entry services in M&A are:
- Stand-alone paid valuation services
- Sellability/Viability analysis
- Interim executive/management consulting services.
If you want to be truly recession proof, try offering something no one else is. The dashboards I was building sold for upwards of 20k per project. I charged what I could because no other M&A professionals offered something comparable.
2. Invest in visibility now
Does your firm only worry about marketing when things are slow?
If so, you will spend more per lead than firms who invest in marketing with consistency. If you have the budget now, consider investing in long -term digital marketing initiatives like search ranking (SEO), your website's lead acquisition strategy and conventional PR. All of these things pay dividends for a long time.
Establishing yourself as the #1 search result for 'your town sell my business' (for example) now, will cost you less than doing it later when the entire marketplace is also trying to accomplish the same thing. Our sister company Merger Labs helps M&A firms generate more visibility online. You may be surprised how affordable these services can be considering they will benefit you for months if not years to come.
3. Do not sacrifice
What happens when deals dry up? M&A firms cut capacity, data access, and anything else they can to ensure they can weather the storm. Seems responsible right? Wrong! When they zig you have to zag. If competing firms jettison resources, consider leveraging cost-flexible resources like CAPTARGET to gain a competitive edge. We can provide short-term, low-cost access to analysts who are equipped with quality data. When competition for deals heats up, you can confidently assert that you have a full analyst team with all the needed support to run the process without sacrificing quality.
Not only is there a competitive benefit to working with a group like ours but we also allow you to focus on your primary job – closing deals. In lean times, knowing you can fully commit to servicing your client can be a very powerful thing.
Adopting these three strategies will improve your changes of thriving when everyone else is struggling!

Many people wish to improve the look of their rooms or apartments. It is possible for you to improve the appearance of your condo with any of the available flooring options depending on your taste. They come along with numerous merits and have been of help to many Singaporean people. Before choosing a flooring option, you need to weigh their advantages and disadvantages keenly. Below are some of the available flooring options in Singapore.
This is the most uncomplicated flooring option available. There are no skills or knowledge required to set up a carpet.
• Style: Despite the hard flooring consuming most part of the interior design magazines in the recent past, carpets have an exclusively different style. Their casual but comfy style provides them with a
totally distinct feel.
• Comfort: Your body tends to be sore after spending some time on concrete and ceramic tiles. This is the same case when dealing with hard surfaces. On the other hand, carpets have a shock absorbing ability for your footprints and enables you to walk comfortably.in addition, it also feels nice to sit and lay on the carpet.
• Warmth: Carpet ensures that your room is insulated. This helps you to save on the costs incurred in warming a home, for example, using electricity or natural gas.
• Quiet: Sounds tend to bounce off the walls and create an echo in the room. Soft surfaces such as carpet help absorb the sound as compared to hard surfaces.
• Cost: While installing hard floor surfaces, certain sub-floor requirements must be met. This raises their installation cost. On the other hand, carpets dismiss these concerns since it can be installed on a wide variety of floors. Therefore, carpets are generally more cost-effective than hard surface flooring.
• Maintenance: Depending on your lifestyle, carpets require frequent cleaning and vacuuming.
• Sensitive: Carpets are sensitive flooring materials. They easily draw in dust and dirt.
• Allergies: Carpets are vulnerable to allergens such as mould and dust mites. Therefore, if a member of your family has an allergy or respiratory issue, it is advisable not to use carpets as a flooring material.
• Longevity: Most carpets are manufactured synthetically. This makes them have a shorter lifespan than other flooring options.
Laminate flooring
This is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process.
• Cost: Laminate flooring saves on your wallet since it is way less than half the price of hardwood and is relatively cheaper than the price of the carpet. Also, it has minimal running costs since it lasts for a long time.
• Resistivity: Unlike hardwood, marble or carpet, laminate flooring is immune to stains or scratches and does not fade when exposed to sunlight.
• Easy installation: No special glues are needed to install it since it is a snap. In addition, the subfloor is not a concern since the flooring does not need to be nailed down.
• A wide range of flooring textures:
There is a wide variety of laminate flooring textures to choose from than merely wood. The wide range of the laminate flooring textures is not restricted by price since it is generally cheap.
• Health: Laminate flooring benefits people with allergies or other respiratory illnesses since it does not absorb dust like carpet. It forms an airtight system thus restricting moisture from getting into the room.
• Noisy: Laminate flooring may be noisy especially for people living in an apartment since the vibrations of the laminate floors may pass through the floor below
• Although the flooring is immune to scratches, dogs may scratch off and damage the resistance
layer of the flooring. Therefore, in order to improve the lifespan of the flooring material, it is advisable to restrict the entry of dogs in rooms where there is laminate flooring. Instead, you may install the laminate flooring in rooms where dogs are out of reach.
• Minimal resistance to moisture: It is not advisable to set up laminate flooring in a room that has high moisture since the flooring must be replaced when the moisture reaches the HDF core-board.
Cork flooring
This is a recommended and sustainable flooring option available to all. Cork flooring has recently become well-known.
• Long lasting: Cork flooring is immune to abrasion and cracking.in addition, it is impervious to liquids and gas. Cork flooring bounces back. Therefore, indentures created by the furniture will finally 'heal'. A properly maintained cork floor may last for forty years or even more.
• Healthy: Cork flooring is naturally resistant to mould, termites and mildew. The flooring does not contaminate the air since it is air-tight and does not shed microfibers
• Safe: In incidences of fire, the cork will only melt. It will light only at very high temperatures. Cork produces smoke and discharges very minimal poisonous substances than vinyl flooring.
• Comfortable: A cork floor renders a comfortable "cushion effect" when pressed. In addition, cork is a natural thermal and acoustic insulator. Rooms with cork flooring are naturally warm and quiet.
• Vulnerable to damage: Cork is not the perfect material if you are looking for a completely pristine floor. Although it has a nice feel on bare feet, the flooring is easy to damage. Any sharp objects dropped can pierce the floor. Heavy appliance may gradually sink into the cork. Dog and cat nail scratches may also damage the cork. This may show up almost immediately.
• Water can be a problem: If a room with the cork flooring gets flooded, the cork may bend out and discolour. High water vapour may also make the cork to curve. This makes the tiles to bulge out.
• Affected by sunlight: The flooring may be discoloured if direct sunlight is allowed into the room frequently. The exposed part of the flooring will appear to have a different hue compared to the rest of the flooring. This can be prevented by use of curtains or blinds.
Real wood flooring
This refers to any product made from timber that is used for flooring. Some people may prefer installing real wood in their rooms. This is a well-known practice in Singapore.
• Easy Installation: Hardwood floors are designed to ensure a regular and steady fit.
• Easy to clean: Hardwood floors are very easy to clean since they do not pile up plenty of dirt or dust. Vacuuming, mopping and drying the floor may be performed weekly.
• Variety: There is a wide variety of hardwood floor appearances based on your taste no matter how diverse or unique your preferences are. There are many colours, styles, stains and textures available for you to choose from. You can also choose from prefinished and unfinished hardwood floors.
• Ageless quality: The hardwood floors still look gorgeous while other floors start to look worn out. In addition, they can be refinished rather than be replaced unlike other flooring materials like carpets.
• Improved indoor air quality: Hardwood floors are a healthy preference for the best interior environment. With no fibres and embossing that may trap dust, pollen and allergens, the flooring
provides the best environment for allergic people and those with respiratory illnesses.
• It is not scratch-proof: Hardwood flooring does not conceal claw marks made by the pets such as dogs and cats. The flooring is therefore easily damaged and it, therefore, has to be refinished
• Not recommended for a full bath: It is advisable not to fit a bathroom with hardwood flooring since it is highly sensitive to water and has the ability to hold water which can make the flooring to buckle.
• Noisy: This is due to the vibrations caused by the movements on the floor, for example, a woman's heels. This mostly affects people in apartments.
• Expensive: Compared to other flooring materials such as carpets, hardwood flooring is generally expensive.
Vinyl flooring
These are a popular choice among homeowners especially in the bathroom and the kitchen. There are two types of vinyl flooring: Sheet flooring and tile flooring. Many people prefer vinyl tile for their home flooring since it takes the look of ceramic tiles and
they are more affordable.
• Durable: Can withstand heavy foot traffic
• Comfortable: Feels nice under the feet and minimises noise. This makes it preferred by owners of kids and pets
• Inexpensive: Cheaper to install and maintain compared to other flooring options such as hardwood flooring.
• Variety: Vinyl flooring comes in a wide range of patterns and colours to match with your needs.
• Susceptible to damage: Vinyl floors do not withstand a lot of weight. They can also be easily damaged by sharp objects.
• Can be affected by sunlight: Exposure to sunlight and extreme temperatures can damage them. They are therefore not recommended for outdoor flooring.
• Requires skilful installation: Vinyl tiles require an extremely smooth surface. For a successful installation, the subfloor should be composed of a well-sanded plywood.
Laying the vinyl flooring on concrete may lead to problems due to uniformity and smoothness.
Flooring materials are generally advantageous regardless of the drawbacks that come along with them. You, therefore, have to balance your taste, cost as well as other minor parameters such as pets in order to choose your best flooring material for your condo.

Betting (or gambling) also called as iGambling or Internet gambling, is a general term that is played on the internet. However, betting is different in the UK and the US. In the UK it is more or less treated like a harmless pastime of sports lovers whereas in the US it is less encouraged and regulated. Just like the other online businesses, gambling too has become popular just because of the internet. Growing technologies have been a major reason for the change in the betting habits. Gambling industry in the UK gets a turn over of several billions because of the wide range of gambling options available for all kinds of people. However, players must look into their cash flows in order to ascertain about their financial income.
Poker, Bingo, Sports betting, Casinos and lotteries are some of the common online gambling options available.
Usually gamblers upload funds to the concerned online gambling company, play the game or make a bet and then win the cash. Just like any other game gamblers also win and lose everyday and it goes unaccounted. Although number of betting exchanges has gone up in the UK, addicted gamblers count has remained constant for the past few years. Having been started 10 years ago, there are now hundreds of online gambling websites available in the UK.

This article mentions that Mrs Follett is among the vulnerable seats. This trougher can afford to fight the seat with her own cash, now that would make a change!
Now the small but faithful band of OR followers will have noticed a decline in his fervour for The Lisbon Turncoat Party. He is however, as dedicated to the ire and anger that is created by socialist dogma and it's hypocrisy. So the news that they are poor and penniless in cash and friends is of comfort.
When we take snapshots of present and past deprivation we see one overriding fact. Human beings can only be classed as decent when they care for each other. Socialism, like religion, is more divisive and damaging than any other system. If you doubt that just consider The West's definition of poverty. It does not include starvation. I am a person who sees good in tribal allegiances and a benevolent and deserving "Council of Elders". Note the benevolent. Most political rule is malevolent. It seeks support and votes and power from confrontation and animosity to opponents. The true Conservative beliefs do not. Shame about it's present day "modern" new Labour, left of centre stance. Still infinitely superior to Labour and it's champagne life style on the back of it's supporters. Just look at The Union Barons' lifestyle and remuneration for a definition of hypocrite.
A plague on all their socialist doctrine and dogma that will make destitute all of us!

In a world of virtual everything, it really is nice to know there are places and spaces where you can have a real breeze flowing through your hair as you zip along on the real Munger Trail.
We'd like to remind you once again that we not only rent bikes, but we rent "discs" for the local Disc Golf Course a mile from our little town on the edge of Paradise. There's actually plenty more to do here than meets the eye as CBR also has an art gallery along with art lessons from time to time, courtesy Art Dimensions, Joelene Steffens framing business. Art Dimensions is just one of many A-Team businesses here. As time permits we'd also like to tell you more about the Oldenburg House, a bed and breakfast that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This remarkably beautiful place is but walking distance from our spot on the map, or a three minute bike-hike.
In fact this Thursday, May 9, the Oldenburg House will be hosting an intimate piano concert featuring premiere pianist Eric Himy. To learn more about this event and purchase tickets, click here.
Trivia: Did you know that Jay Cooke State Park was created by land donated to the State of Minnesota by the Oldenburgs?
We still more wonders nearby including hiking trails, kayaking, fishing, whitewater rafting and more. Visit soon and live a little! Minnesota starts here.
|The Disc Golf Course a mile away is good exercise and lots of fun.
Thank you, Jesse, for these photos that so remind us it's time for spring.

What an incredibly refreshing interview! Monica Ruffo, founder of Well Told Health is more than just a go-getter. She has will power and determination like I've never seen before. Monica, as a single mother, decided to become an entrepreneur. She broke off from her agency, started a new company and faced many challenges along the way. But her biggest obstacle was her breast cancer diagnosis that came out of nowhere. Not only did she beat it, but she managed to get through it with as little side effects as possible because of her desire to find ways around it. She started a wellness company, plant based, that literally rocks my world. You will learn all about her journey on this show! You can find her products at https://welltold.com. I've been using the Tumeric, Energy Booster and the Relaxation Booster at night - LOVE ALL OF THEM!

"Ive always been in advertising and marketing, and I was fortunate to get a good job right out of school working at an advertising agency. It turns out that I really loved what I did and I was quite good at it."
"I felt like I wanted to try this whole entrepreneurship thing on my own. It took a while to get my head wrapped around leaving and the risk associated with that – and my kids were small, but I did decide I wanted to start an agency of my own."
"It's very scary because as much as I was unhappy where I was, I was definitely in my comfort zone. I knew everyone, I was doing well, and those are some of the hardest things to change – leaving that comfort zone."
"The agency I started had a very clear vocation, we only worked with brands that made meaningful contributions to people's lives."
"We had a client who had promised us a pretty significant piece of business, we had signed a contract and everything. That was going to be our kick off client. But then 2008 turned out to be this crazy recession year and basically the project evaporated."
"At the time I started the new agency, it was beyond stressful and I honestly had moments where I thought, what have I done?"
"You never know what's around the corner and if you think you're doing the right thing, and it makes you happy and you're passionate about it and you're contributing something to the world. But, you have to stick with it, you have to see it through."
"There's no breast cancer in my family – there was nothing that would have made me think I would be at risk for that – and as it turns out, it was a very tiny tumor, so it was stage 1 A, but it was extremely aggressive."
"Vitamin C mitigates the side effects of chemotherapy, and radiation, and it's been shown to decrease recurrence. There's a lot of controversy around it. Throughout the chemotherapy, I didn't really have any side effects at all."
"I also did cold caps – what they do is, you put this frozen cap on your head, during the chemo, (an hour before), and it freezes your hair follicles so you don't lose your hair. It doesn't work for everybody. I was very fortunate, I didn't lose any hair at all."
"The took the top 100 brands in the market and they did a label analysis – and concluded that 33% of the ingredients were natural – 33% were clearly synthetic and the last third is unidentifiable – you have no way to know where the product comes from – the fact that it doesn't have to be identified is crazy – this analysis took 3 or 4 months. And I can't be the only one out there who wants to take supplements that are actually natural. I decided that I would set out and create that company."
"Our products will be certified organic, no synthetics, no fillers, non GMO, no gluten, no soy and vegan."
"You should be getting all the nutrients you need from your food. We don't try to replace a well balanced diet. There are a lot of multi vitamins and there's no such thing as one size fits all. We make things you can't get from food –like vitamin D."

This dish has a similarity to the Peninsular Malaysia version of cooking Asam Pedas, with a difference that the sourish taste is produced by the Terung Dayak or Terung Asam, minus the fresh herbs such as daun kesum or daun kantan. This is a good example of how Terung Dayak usage has become versatile given its unique and mild sourish flavor.
250gm prawn, or any type of fish
1 Terung Asam (terung dayak or terung iban)
1 Shallot
2 cloves garlic
6 dried chilies or cili boh
2-3 bird eyes chillies
1 stalk lemongrass (pound)
2tbs cooking oil
3 cups of Water
1. Pound or blend shallot, garlic, chillies
2. Sauté the above until fragrant
3. Add water, terung asam and lemongrass.
4. Once terung asam turns translucent, add in prawn. Cooked for another 3 minutes.
5. Season with salt, MSG/sugar

GradGuard is an authority in protecting the investment in higher education. By protecting students and their families from risks from college life, GradGuard helps reduce the cost of college and promote greater student success. GradGuard's modern tuition and renters insurance programs are valuable student benefits available through a network of more than 300 colleges and universities. Since 2009, GradGuard's insurance programs have protected more than 700,000 students and families. For more insights on #collegelife follow @GradGuard
We recently attended Texas Buc$ - a conference of the student financial services staff and bursars throughout the great state of Texas. GradGuard student benefit programs are available at many Texas institutions and it is reassuring to be reminded of the growing value of our services to colleges and universities.
In particular, student financial services professionals appear to be more committed then ever to making sure students and their families are not surprized by institutional policies. This commitment to promoting greater transparency is noteworthy and should help reduce the low awareness of insitutitonal policies.
Indeed, a 2014 survey of 814 college parents found that many parents don't know the answer.
- 71% of parents did not recall be informed of the university medical refund policy
- 66% of parents had no idea of how the university would handle a medical withdrawal
The same 2014 survey of college parents revealed that only 26% would not be able to afford the financial loss / additional semester and 51.2% of students said it would be difficult or not possible to absorb the loss.
Student withdrawals are a costly event for everyone. Institutions depend on the funds that students pay in tuition and fees. Students and their families may suffer from both a medical event but should not be surprized by learning after the fact that the instituion may not provide a refund.
Therefore, if your campus does not provide 100% refunds for medical withdrawals, GradGuard recommends that your institution provide notice to each student of your refund policy and also provide the opportunity for students to protect themselves from the financial loss that may result from an unexpected medical withdrawal.
As most higher education professionals realize promoting greater transaprency requires an institutional commitment. Clearly "Transparency" is larger than Texas and an important topic for every campus in the nation.
Please contact us today if we can be of service to you and your students.
