text: The inner or personal planets - Mercury, Venus and Mars - are understood by many students and practitioners to be somehow superficial in nature. They might even be seen as not really very important in an in-depth psychological birth chart analysis - except in terms of self-gratification - which, as we are perpetually being told by more evolved colleagues, is a very selfish motivation. However, this is negated by: "Man's main task in life is to give birth to himself, to become what he potentially is". - Erich Fromm As adults, many of us still suppress our inner most longings, feelings, and qualities. Disciplined as children to repress anger, fear, rebellion, etc., we reach maturity still harboring many unresolved issues. These issues interfere with the development and understanding of our personal authenticity. They are the blockages that prevent our success, fulfillment, and happiness. Contemporary marketing endeavors have surfaced directed at recruiting people experiencing a rough time on the ladder to success & happiness. You may be familiar with the title "Life Coach" . . the guru who promises to teach you everything on the unfailing roadmap towards personal achievement - the professional success coach. However, rather than having a coach prod you in a direction you are not really suited for or mold you into someone you are not, there is another roadmap accessible to you. This roadmap is guided by someone very close to you. It is the "Little Professor" within. He is the expert on just what your personalized energies are all about - symbolized by your Mercury, Mars & Venus. He will clarify your life challenges and offer solutions for happiness, success, and fulfillment. If you betray these very personal tastes and values, you will not find happiness and success in your life. Self-betrayal is a lie - to self and the World. As an astrologer for many years, I truly believe an individual's latent and developed characteristics are symbolized by the personal planets' placement and aspects in the horoscope. These energies are not guessed at . . . or fabricated. They are what they are. What makes a person unhappy may reflect insufficient value and time given to the unimportant building blocks or personal reality that the three inner planets symbolize. We are not always brought up to respect our ordinary feelings, desires, and perceptions. Instead, we are encouraged to accept those of others - those embraced as cultural standards. We must adjust and adapt to the larger world in which we live. To a great extent, our capacity to express what the three inner planets symbolize within us determines whether we are victims of life or creative individuals with the power of choice. These inner planets serve what psychology calls the ego, the sense of personal self. We must live what we are to be happy. Our complexes may have dictated why we have betrayed our essential personal needs and nature . . . but they will not relieve us of the responsibility of living what we are. Knowing what makes us happy (Venus), expressing this to others (Mercury) and standing firm in the face of opposition (Mars) are acts of self-affirmation that define the ego. It is these planets that assist us in mediating the heavy planets with their destructive and transformative potential and challenges. To obtain a consultation, please contact me. We'll talk to your 'little professor' - the one who resides within you. The Little Professor email: firstname.lastname@example.com |

Handle Clearance & Packers?
Generally the clearance required from window frame edge to hand base is 6mm, allowing the frame to lip and sit against the window section frame. This can be overcome by but depends very much on what we have to play with and the placement of any further window furniture and obstructions. Before proceeding if you find that the 6mm check does not exist with your window then please contact us as we may be able to adapt accordingly.
As far as the handle base itself is concerned should you come to fit your blind or offer the sample frame up to the handle in the first instance and find that the handle catches the frame when the handle base is too shallow, then this can be rectified in one of two ways. Either with a handle packing piece to increase the handle base height or, and this is by far our favoured and less fiddly solution to offer our Customers, by letting us know and will use a rebate plate in the frame side channel. Essentially it is a moulded flat piece that we can insert in the frame leg either at the time of manufacture or retrospectively send after you have received your complete blind and you can swap accordingly. Again it would be worthwhile contacting us should these amendments be required.
It is easier that we do not offer these solution as part of the initial online ordering system as it can prove to be an expensive mistake or confusion point to expect Customers to make a purchase judgement on. So whenever a window does not meet 'standard' application requirements it is better that we endeavour to help you prior to parting with your money. So please do not hesitate to ask.

Showjumper and horse trainer Claire West required a new 20 x 40 Indoor Arena to exercise her horses and to produce youngsters all year round. The temperamental climate in the North West Region presented restrictions to Claire by making outdoor riding difficult at certain times of the year. She was able to fulfil her ambition to train all year round and after night fall with the help from MDownes Earthworks.
"The Indoor Arena had to be slightly different because it is eventually going to connect to a stable block. This meant that sliding doors had to be set in a different place compared to a standard design" explained Claire. "MDownes Earthworksproduced all the plans for us and created a bespoke solution that matched our needs perfectly. It will have a great impact on the yard – being able to keep our horses clean and dry and exercised in perfect conditions during the winter weathers".
Kickboards were fitted around the arena, and a wax fibre mix surface was supplied by Andrews Bowen. "Double Yorkshire boarding was a great recommendation by MDownes Earthworks" says Claire. This was installed down one side where the arena faces heavy weather elements. The double boarding provides a draft free, airy environment when the horses are being exercised.
A Collaborative Approach To Construct An Indoor Arena
As well as taking a hands-on approach with the design and working closely with Claire to achieve the perfect structure she was looking for, MDownes were also obliging and extremely helpful in their communications; ensuring Claire's project ran smoothly to achieve an efficient and collaborative service. "Nothing was a problem for MDownes Earthworks", she explained. "They were very professional and sorted out any challenges quickly". "I would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend to others".
Exceptional Quality For An Affordable Service
As well as being impressed at the level of service she received from MDownes Earthworks, Claire was also drawn to the quality and affordability which MDownes offered. "They were very competitive on price but this didn't represent a compromise in quality" she explained. "The quality of the steelwork was better than other companies I compared – giving us great value for money". Now that the project is complete, Claire can enjoy making good use of the school all year round!

PRESS RELEASE: Company planning breakthrough in marine safety gets vital boost from Marine-i
Paddle Logger Limited, a Cornish company which creates specialist software for watersports enthusiasts, is planning to launch a new service to help improve the safety of people when they are out on the water. This innovative development is being made possible by a Rapid Innovation Grant from Marine-i.
Part funded by the European Regional Development Fund, Marine-i is designed to help the marine tech sector in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly grow through harnessing the full potential of research and innovation.
Paddle Logger is a well-established company that already provides mobile apps which track paddlers using GNSS data, giving the user live feedback and data analytics. They can use the app on their Apple Watch or Apple iPhone. Now the company wants to take their technology a step further by enhancing the safety of users at sea by helping them stay connected, as their CEO, David Walker, explains:
"As the market grows and paddle sports become more and more popular, we believe that the industry has a responsibility to provide people with the tools they need to improve their skills, become more responsible paddlers and stay as safe as possible. So we have developed an easy to use, accessible system that will signal when a paddler is in difficulty at sea. We call the system Paddler in Trouble (PiT).
"It works like this. With very little setup and minimal hassle to the user, each paddler nominates a third party on shore, who they would be linked to via the system. We call this person their 'digital land anchor.' If they get into difficulty the third party will be notified. If the paddler needs urgent help, they can use PiT to immediately alert this third party with just one flick of a button on their iPhone."
Matt Hodson, Operations Director of Marine Hub Cornwall at Cornwall Development Company and a partner of Marine-i says: "This is another great example of the pioneering marine innovation that is being driven by talented companies in Cornwall. Not only does PiT have the potential to reach a huge global market, but the technology being developed by Paddle Logger could also have future applications across a wide range of watersports."
David Walker adds: "The grant from Marine-i will enable us to press ahead quickly with the detailed and rigorous testing required for PiT before we can release it. This includes the hardware we need to further test PiT across multiple devices. Thanks to the excellent support we have received from Marine-i, we can now take the final steps needed before a full commercial launch, making this a very exciting time for our business."

Market Analysis for Oct 20th, 2020
EQ > IQ In The Greatest Game On Earth
By having no fear of the market even after a losing streak/drawdown and letting your edges play out over the long run vs the setups you always take..then you are truly in the zone. Mental fortitude, toughness and resiliency are some of the key factors that truly separates the very best in this game and the ones that are just okay. These things could not be learned from a textbook, it takes time and efforts of getting f'd left, right and centre and you know what? Coming back the very next day/week/month and act like nothing happened and you march on. Pain has to be endured in great amounts to fully understand and achieve the seemingly impossible success. I am an outlier as demonstrated throughout my trading career. I hope some things could be learnt, but I do understand that these things are easier said than done. Do you have what it takes to get f'd and come back the very next day to get f'd again and then take that same setup again with the same favourable conditions/edges?
It doesn't matter if you get knocked away after a few punches, always have to be willing to come back into the ring the very next round and do what you were trained with and adapt with the punches. It ain't over till you've actually given up. If you give up your mentality already, you are destined to fail as there's zero hope. This is why I'm going to be more successful over the long term and reach greater heights and how I've accumulated wealth + the necessary skillsets in the greatest monetary game on earth. Losing money doesn't faze me, what fazes me is making shitty rookie mistakes. You must be better than that, overcome and accept your weaknesses and leverage that into a winning proposition when the tough times come. You don't run away, you keep grinding cuz that's all you've been trained and accustomed to. Keep on rocking comrades. BTW, I'm going to be a USD billionaire or die trying...there's still zero doubt in my mind.
(excuse my language, it's just easier to get my points across. I used to swear like a sailor as well)

text: A lyrical and emotive performer, Nashville-based Cody Fry is a gifted singer/songwriter whose music touches upon soulful pop, jazz, electronics, and orchestral balladry. A native of Northfield, Illinois, Fry grew up in a creative family with a father who wrote commercial jingles for a living. By his teens, he was writing and recording his own songs, and ultimately went on to study music at Nashville's Belmont University. Graduating in 2012, he released his debut album, Audio:Cinema, and spent several years as a backing musician for other artists. A second album, Keswick, followed in 2014, after which he made it into the early audition rounds on the 14th season of American Idol. Although he received positive feedback from the judges, he failed to make the Top 20 finalists. Nonetheless, the exposure helped build his fan base, and in 2017 he returned with his third solo album, Flying, featuring the single "Nobody But You." The album found Fry drawing upon his love of film scoring and coloring his songs with full orchestration. ~ Matt Collar

The Seychelles houses a base from where a fleet of "hunter-killer" drones operate.
September 26, 2011 -- Lalit de Klas -- Here is Lalit de Klas' [the revolutionary socialist party in Mauritius] first analysis of the recently published Wikileaks cables from the US embassy in Port Louis to Hillary Clinton, secretary of state, and to others in the US state apparatus. The cables date from 2008 to 2010. Some are "secret", others merely "confidential". But, taken as a whole, they betray the United States' modus operandi, as an imperialist power.
1. The first thing of note is the outrageous way that the US embassy puts constant and overt pressure on the Mauritius and Seychelles governments to "toe its line". There is pressure to vote for this US-supported candidate, not that undesirable-to-the-US candidate, to vote "yes" not "no", at the UN – on every conceivable issue. There must be, the US says, more "voting coincidence".
The US has no respect for the democratic platform on which the Mauritius or Seychelles governments were elected, but wants them to do as the USA says, and what is in the US interest, without the least qualms. The Mauritius government stands up rather better against the US pressure than President James Michel's government in the Seychelles, which has well-nigh completely capitulated. For example, the Mauritius government objects to nuclear-carrying ships on [US-occupied Maurtian territory] Diego Garcia, under the Pelindaba Treaty, and says so. However, the Mauritian prime minister often makes unacceptable undertakings to the USA representatives, and meets the ambassador for a session once every four months, which they claim no other embassy gets to do.
Prime minister of Mauritius Navin Ramgoolam even discusses his political strategies, for example his reason for re-naming Aneerood Jugnauth as president, so as to make an Militant Socialist Movement-Mauritian Militant Movement alliance more difficult. We believe that the government must bring the US embassy to heel, instead of snugling up to it. It is not here to run Mauritius.
US like a virus in the civil service
2. The US embassy seems to think it can just step into government offices and contact individual civil servants, who are employees supposed to be loyal to the Mauritian state, and who are always being reminded that everything they do falls under the Official Secrets Act; they are not even allowed to make statements to the press. Yet the US embassy deals directly with them. Officers in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, police officers, customs officials are all accosted by US embassy staff, and are pressured in ways that smell both undemocratic and potentially corrupt. The US embassy must be reminded that it is an occupying power, and as such is not welcome within government departments. No foreign embassy should be, in fact.
US sees the world through racist lens
3. The cables divulge a very "racist" perception of Mauritius and Mauritian politics. The cables to Hillary Clinton openly announce, for example, cabinet members as of such-and-such race. They also follow Jocelyn Gregoire closely, and try to interpret Mauritius "volte-face" on UN issues in communal ways.
Military penetration
4. The Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) that the US has got the Seychelles government to sign up to, and which it was (and no doubt still is) desperately trying to get the Mauritius government to sign, is yet another outrageous form of neocolonisation. The agreement negotiated by Seychelles President James Michel and only one minister, Jean-Paul Adam (behind the backs of the Seychelles parliament, and even cabinet!) with the US embassy, allows for the stationing of:
The pretext is "anti-piracy", with what could well be pre-arranged "incidents" to force Seychelles' hand, but the agreement includes "anti-terrorism", "anti-drugs" and anything else that might come up, or any mixture of the above.
Before the signing of this SOFA, the Seychelles government had clearly been asked to write a letter to US President Barack Obama to beg for money, which it did. Curiously, this letter came after cables about the collapse of Lehman Brothers, which owns 60% through Heinz in the government company Indian Ocean Tuna, while the Seychelles government owns 40%, and how Lehmann Brothers had also issued bonds to service Seychelles's external debt.
After signing, there was a long, painful process of changing the date of the coming into force of SOFA post facto, from the Seychelles side. Clearly, the USA swims along watching, like a shark does next to a shoal of fish, knowing it is difficult to strike when all is in order and all the fish are in formation with other fish, and waiting for the moment that a particular fish has some difficulty (like economic alarm bells, or piracy), then the predator strikes.
The September 20, 2011, Washington Post notes, in its analysis of these same Wikileaks cables, that "Another base [in addition to in Djibuti] is in the Seychelles, an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, where a small fleet of 'hunter-killer' drones resumed operations this month after an experimental mission demonstrated that the unmanned aircraft could effectively patrol Somalia from there." It also emphasises that these drones can be armed for air strikes.
From the Mauritian point of view, this is very worrying for the region, when we see how the USA has gone completely outside of international law and even beyond the bounds of the guiding principles of common decency, perpetrating "go in and assassinate" operatons in sovereign countries, like Yemen and even in the US's supposed ally, Pakistan, and bombing civilians under ever-changing pretexts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and Libya and kow-towing to a war-mongering Israeli tate.
'Our man in Mauritius'
5. There are some individual Mauritians who are close to the US embassy. Before he was employed by the Pentagon, Mauritian journalist Nad Sivaramen's editorials were quoted in the embassy cables, at the time he was presumably being groomed for the Africa Command. Kailash Ruhee is the US "man in the Prime Minister's Office". He is even quoted as saying he drafted a letter requesting a meeting with Obama, to go through the US embassy, and the letter specifically did not include a request to discuss Diego Garcia and Chagos [Islands] at that point. However, this request to include Diego Garcia and Chagos on the agenda was subsequently added by others in the PM's office only after Ruhee's draft. This is a very damning cable for a highly respected man like Kailash Ruhee. It is not a pretty thing to be exposed like this as a collaborator with an occupying power...
We also note with concern that the US embassy invents "profiles" of high civil servants, including details of things as bizarre as the medicines they take when ill. The cables claim that police commissioner Gopalsingh stated that he will vote in accordance with US embassy "recommendations" in an Interpol General Assembly. This kind of pressure on civil servants is just outrageous interference.
Lalit thinks, if what the US cables say about Kailash Ruhee is not true, which it might not be (it is the US that claims this), he should come forward and say so. He should clear this up at once. The same goes for former attorney general, Rama Valayden, who is described as being very eager to get US military vessels to visit [the Mauritian capital] Port Louis. If it is not true, please could Rama Valayden come forward and deny it.
Instances of Mauritian attempts to stonewall US re-colonisation
6. Many Mauritian civil servants, in their favour, and bearing in mind that the US embassy people should not have formal access to them at all, seem to act with integrity. M. Neewoor and M. Curé in foreign affairs are among those who stonewall the persistent US demands. Others, also to their credit, including sometimes the prime minister and even more so the ministers of foreign affairs, Madun Dulloo and Arvind Boolell, just seem to "pass the ball", "blame someone else", "sweep the US request quietly under the carpet", "postpone indefinitely", "make vague gargling sounds of good intentions" in order to avoid bowing down to the US government's colonialist demands for control over the Mauritian state apparatus. (Precision: The actions are in quotation marks to indicate that a game is being played; they are NOT quotes from the cables, but Lalit's analysis of the scenarios described in the embassy cables to Hillary Clinton.) Of course, it would be better if Mauritians stood up to the US on principled stands on all issues, not just on some while using these excuses and pretexts and subterfuges, on others.
7. Obviously the US embassy is very curious, on the one hand, of any links between Seychelles/Mauritius and Cuba or Venezuela or China, and also very scathing about these countries, on the other – spreading rumours, basically. What was badly organised for the Chinese president's visit, or whether Raul Castro "talks" too much like his brother. Knowing this, Navin Ramgoolam obviously "teased" the US ambassador by smoking a Cuban cigar during their meeting. This nosiness goes as far as the US embassy arranging to meet the Seychelles president two hours after his return from Cuba. Poor man would hardly have had time to wash his hands, before giving information on his mission!
AGOA: the devil is in the detail
8. Lalit concludes that the devil of the conditionalities of the US Africa Growth and Opportunities Act (AGOA) is in the detail. Through this type of apparent "advantage" for the private sector bosses in Africa, the state in African counties then allows the US to creep into (or to try to, anyway) the state apparatus of African countries, in minutious ways. The same can be said of "agreements" for training the police force or customs, and for phytosanitary "aid" for "entry into the US market". These agreements all end up acting like viral contamination, which is what they are designed to do. The US gets into the cells of the state apparatus of other countries.
Lalit will be publishing more detailed accounts of the cables in separate articles.
How we set about analysing the cables, to prepare this analysis, was this: 10 of Lalit's central committee members shared out the 150 or so cables intercepted between the US embassy in Port Louis addressed to Hillary Clinton, as secretary of state and to other bits of US state apparatus (from 2008-10) that Wikileaks has made public. We each went through them all so as to pool our analysis overall, before going into the details of the cables. Last week Lalit had its first working session on the totality of the cables. So, this first article summarises some of our discussions, and aims to show our concern as to how the US state apparatus works in relation to the Mauritius and the Seychelles governments.
So, prior to publishing bits and pieces of these documents with our piecemeal comments, blow by blow (as the press has done), we offer some overall comments on the general contents of these rather shocking documents, recently put into the public domain. They are shocking, because they show very clearly how the USA operates at an international level.
It is important that Wikileaks has permitted us access to this kind of secret information.

The deadly war on e-cigarettes
Cigarettes continue to kill a half million Americans every year while holding 100 fold that number in addiction s deadly grasp. Yet a perverse crusade has spread like a contagion across the nation to ban or restrict access to electronic cigarettes (e cigs), which have harmed no one and allowed many to quit smoking.
Now that anti science fervor has spread to the state Legislature, where three separate bills would combine to condemn desperate addicted smokers to lingering death.
It s a bizarre through the looking glass situation banning e cigs even as cigarettes, the most lethal nicotine delivery system, are marketed as they ve been for decades.
Shortly after the Food and Drug Administration got authority over tobacco products in 2009, the agency decided that e cigs were in fact unapproved cessation medication and moved to ban them, going so far as to intercept imports from China. Legal action by several e cig marketers resulted in a slapdown from a federal judge, who agreed with the companies that e cigs were not medicinals and forbade the FDA from barring their entry.
Since then, official statements from all the federal public health agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control, have uniformly warned desperate smokers not to even try e cigs to help them quit.
The FDA just announced rules that, while overly restrictive (e.g., they don t let companies state the clear truth that e cigs are much safer than regular cigarettes), won t go far enough for the zealots. So you can expect a continued push in the Legislature for a total or partial ban despite the facts.
Most smokers want to quit, and over half try each year. They mostly fail, however The FDA approved cessation aids succeed about once in 10 tries, barely better than quitting cold turkey.
Millions of ex smokers have figured this out, despite the official warnings E cig sales are skyrocketing while cigarettes are in historic declines. These ex smokers have become vapers instead of smoking, they are vaping e cigs.
Why do e cigs help smokers quit when the patches, gums and drugs fail? A combination of factors The nicotine dose is sufficient to satisfy that powerful craving, and use of the e cig reflects the rituals of smoking the hand to mouth motions, the glowing LED tip and the inhaled and exhaled plume or mist. Many also prefer flavored vapes.
None of these factors are to be found in the approved products, which are (by the way) much more expensive than e cigs.
Another attraction for smokers is the relatively low cost of e cigs, compared to cigarettes (and compared to the nicotine patches so beloved of the FDA and other federal agencies).
But one New York bill would institute an exorbitant tax on e cigs, which have previously not been targeted with tobacco like excise taxes. The tax would actually make e cigs as expensive as the real, deadly cigarettes. This seems like the opposite of a public health measure to me.
Moreover, their anticipated revenue windfall will not materialize, as vapers will simply get their e cigs via the Internet or from out of state.
One of the most bogus concerns is that e cigs will be a gateway to nicotine addiction and smoking. The data suggest just the opposite Teen smoking rates have fallen significantly in recent years, even as e cig use has soared.
Banning vaping as though it was smoking due to second hand vapor is ridiculous on its face Vapor is mostly water, and the chemicals in it are in such low concentrations (as confirmed in academic analysis) so as not to be a threat to anyone.
The politicians seeking to ban and tax e cigs say it s in the interests of public health. In fact, such measures are antithetical to public health, and would protect cigarette markets by reducing access to a successful quit smoking method. If these bills become law, they ll simply be a death sentence for smokers who just want to quit.

How amazon forced cvs to stop selling cigarettes
Buy candy cigarettes buy cigarettes online|buy american cigarettes????
Photo Kristoffer Tripplaar/Sipa USA/AP
Pharmacy giant CVS is booting cigarettes and other tobacco products from its stores. The change has earned CVS showers of praise, including from the White House, but there s one player not getting the credit it should Amazon.
As the pharmacy chain was getting all those plaudits yesterday, Amazon said that its iOS app would soon let you place an order simply by pointing your iPhone camera at a product no barcode scan needed. The two events may seem completely unconnected, but they re tied together like to borrow a phrase from Amazon s playbook a gazelle and a cheetah.
Though the CVS no tobacco decision seems like good corporate citizenship, it s also about staying one step ahead of Amazon s relentless campaign to eviscerate brick and mortar businesses.
The new Flow feature in Amazon s mobile app epitomizes just how aggressively the retail giant is pressing its technological advantage to win the market for everyday merchandise. Need more ketchup or dish soap? Just aim your camera at the empty bottle. Suddenly your whole house is an Amazon showroom.
In a way, Flow is gimmicky Most of this stuff has barcodes you could already scan at home, too. But every step Amazon takes to make buying smoother equals one more reason to skip a trip to the store. Says WIRED s Roberto Baldwin "It s all part of the company s goal to take you from I need that to I bought that in less than 30 seconds."
That s especially threatening to a store like CVS, which sells consumer packaged goods commodity products that everyone else stocks, too. CVS can t compete with Amazon on selection or price. It can t even compete on consumer desire to see and feel before they buy Do you really need to hold that tube of toothpaste? The only advantage left is getting something right when you want it what retailers call the "top off." The closer Amazon gets to on demand imagine combing Flow with same day delivery or vending machines the more CVS loses its last justification for maintaining physical stores.

A Place for Care, Not Just Stuff
The good news for CVS and its shareholders is that management has recognized this threat and is moving brilliantly to meet it. The company s effort to rebrand itself as a one stop health care destination, not just a corner store, has long been under way. The decision to stop selling cigarettes takes that soft launch and turns it into a loud, clear statement of a new identity You don t come here to buy paper towels, you come here to be well. (And you might pick up some paper towels while you re here.)
In its press release announcing the new no tobacco policy, CVS executives said all the right things about the ills of tobacco usage and the importance of promoting better health. But the subtext was all about how the company wants its customers to view its stores as a new kind of destination a place to go to get care, not just stuff.
"Every day, all across the country, customers and patients place their trust in our 26,000 pharmacists and nurse practitioners to serve their health care needs," said Helena B. Foulkes, president of the pharmacy division of CVS in the release. "Removing tobacco products from our stores is an important step in helping Americans to quit smoking and get healthy."
The company also said it would lose $2 billion in revenue annually due to the decision not to stock tobacco. That s already a small percentage of its business, even more so when you add revenue from its CVS Caremark prescription drug coverage business. But $2 billion is also a small price to pay to stay ahead of Amazon. Just ask Borders or Circuit City, which went from thousands of stores to zero stores in a few short years after Amazon started chasing their markets. In the world of marketing, you can t do much better than the avalanche of positive press CVS is getting for its anti tobacco move. If you re going to take on Amazon, there s probably no better place to start than an endorsement by the President of the United States.

- Cole & Hines combine to record four top-20 placings
United Autosports returned to its Leeds workshop today knowing many positives had been achieved in the three Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship races at Silverstone last weekend.
Indeed the Anglo-American team was on course to achieve its best cumulative results of the season. James Cole and new team-mate Luke Hines, despite the latter's very limited mileage in the Toyota Avensis and returning to the BTCC after a nine-year absence, recorded four top-20 placings in the opening two races. But for Cole being used as "target" practice once more and an unfortunate puncture for Hines, the team could have had a very successful weekend.
Cole and Hines had respectively recorded the 21st and 26th fastest times in qualifying on Saturday afternoon around the 1.64-mile National circuit. James was just 0.751secs off pole position such was the closeness of the 31-car field while Luke's best lap time was disallowed for exceeding track limits.
In the opening 22-lap race, Cole and Hines claimed 19th and 20th places. The duo were the best-placed Toyotas with Hines posting his fastest two race laps in the final third of the race as he became more accustomed to the Avensis.
A red-flag after 20-laps in race two deprived Cole and Hines of moving higher up the results – nevertheless again the highest-placed Toyotas pairing – before an opening lap accident collision (Cole) and a puncture (Hines) ended their final race's prematurely.

Age: 26. Born: Southport, England. Lives: Liverpool, England.
"This weekend has been the most positive of the season from a car set-up point of view. We are now understanding what it takes to be quick in this championship. The car is very good in qualifying. I can't fault the set-up and all of the work the team are doing. We just seem a little down on top-end speed. The opening two races were good with top-20 results but in the final race I was hit from behind before being ploughed in to the side on lap one. I'm going to be sore tomorrow but hopefully the car isn't too damaged."

Age: 32. Born: Hoddesdon, Herts. Lives: Silverstone, N'thants.
"A throttle sensor affected my runs in both practice and qualifying which restricted my running in the second practice. The latter was eventful using new tyres for the first time – I may have been a little too aggressive and I had my fastest lap disallowed [for exceeding track limits].
"In Sunday's opening race, I made a poor start due to too much wheel spin but achieved my target of a top-20 place first time out for the team. I had a better start in race two with my pace improving as the race went on. I made my best start of the weekend for the final race and the Toyota was getting better and better. With a top-15 result on the cards a tyre blew up due to debris going into Copse."
Richard Dean, Team Owner and Managing Director, United Autosports:
"We started the weekend with a few difficulties with Luke's car which meant he had very little running in practice one and two but we got the car sorted for qualifying and the races. Both cars ran well in races one and two. James and Luke made up places from their staring positions and they were happy with the cars performance. Race three was a write off from the first lap. James' accident with Robb Holland has severely damaged the car and Luke's unfortunate incident with the puncture meant we had two DNFs when both drivers were looking and feeling positive. It's just the story of our season but we will go to the final round at Brands Hatch hoping to end the season on a higher note."

Bentson Copple & Associates, Greensboro, NC, has launched its first digital video series on YouTube—Dr. Boomer & Dr. Millennial: Generational Diversity. The series leverages the firm's years of orthodontic consulting experience to help practices that have age diverse groups of doctors and team members understand generational differences to better work together and lead.
This series stars Chris Bentson, president of Bentson Copple & Associates, as Dr. Boomer, who is based on baby boomer doctors born between 1946 and 1964. His character illustrates a generation known for having a strong work ethic, placing significant importance on professional accomplishments, and for being somewhat reserved from a social perspective. Playing opposite is Shannon Patterson, CPR, CMSR, partner and head of recruitment at Bentson Copple & Associates, who stars as Dr. Millennial. Her character is based on the more typical characteristics of millennial doctors who were born between 1981 and 1996. This group is viewed as confident, ambitious, and achievement-oriented, and known for being extremely tech-savvy. They additionally value teamwork and seek the input and affirmation of others.
According to a press release from the firm, this series explores the diverse perspectives, attitudes, motivations, and needs of these two generations of doctors, along with the changing dynamics in an orthodontic practice setting. Tidbits of insight are presented regarding the differences between the generations by explaining the needs and expectations of an age-diverse workforce. By learning the motivations and generational footprint of each individual, doctors can leverage their own talents and capitalize on differences.
According to Patterson there are four generations in the orthodontic workforce. "I believe one of the challenges that practices face today is negotiating the differing behavior and values among doctors and team members who were born in different generations," she says. "The predominant groups I work with most are baby boomers and millennials. These two generations grew up in different social and political eras that shaped their values and perspectives in the workplace. The reality is doctors of different generations view patient care differently."
Bentson adds, "Within each episode of the series, we'll examine generational diversity in the orthodontic workplace, review some of the benefits and issues associated with it, and share some of the best practices based on our company's experience."
"This series offers a better understanding not only of hot button issues regarding orthodontic practice employment, associateship structure, and general practice/business leadership—but of how each generation addresses the issues based on experience and values," said Laura Overcash, director of marketing. "We often take for granted what we believe is a 'common' understanding of everyday situations; however, it's fascinating when you start putting age differences into perspective. While generational gaps may bring about some challenges for doctors, so long as there is a working, open relationship, age should be no barrier."

#21 The G|O Briefing, November 3, 2020
This is an onsite, slightly edited republication of the complete G|O Briefing newsletter
Today in The Geneva Observer, although the US election is inescapable and the Canton of Geneva is entering its second qualified lockdown—closing its international organizations and emptying its corridors—we've picked up on a polite but firm tug of war between the banks of Lake Geneva, happening over the WhatsApp and Zoom calls of power. There is a consensus in Geneva that, in a post-pandemic world—and maybe already in a mid-pandemic world—a reset will be necessary to revive multilateralism and international cooperation, strengthen the economy, and act decisively on climate change. But if there is a consensus on the need for a reset, there is a real dispute going on behind the scenes. Reset to what and by whom? UN or the WEF? That is the question.
The Battle of Lake Geneva?
Lockdown 2.0 may have closed international organizations, but diplomacy has not stopped, and neither has the jockeying in this turf war, in spite of the repeated assertions by our interlocutors that it is not so clear-cut.
Opened virtually on Monday (November 2), the Geneva Peace Week is a flagship initiative of the Geneva Peacebuilding Platform in collaboration with the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, the United Nations Office at Geneva (UNOG), and five partners, and is supported by the Swiss Government. Its mission is to "galvanize leadership, build trust and contribute to transforming international cooperation in the wake of COVID-19".
More precisely, this year's edition is dedicated to "Rebuilding trust after disruption: Pathways to reset international cooperation." 'Reset.' The term encompasses what is feverishly sought both in New York and Geneva. The UN-led multilateral system is the "natural stage" for the post-pandemic world to be redesigned. Starved of resources and its ability to deliver openly called into question, UN leaders want to use the pandemic to remind the world of their organization's inescapable role and relevance. António Guterres told the UN's General Assembly that it was "our own 1945 moment."
For more on this, Antonio Patriota, former Brazilian Former Foreign Minister and a UN Ambassador under former President Lula makes a strong case for the UN while positing that it should be thriving in the multipolar world (on The G|O's website).
No, sorry, the button is ours, claims the WEF
But on the opposing bank of Lake Geneva, the World Economic Forum argues that its annual event has gained new relevance in the face of the crisis. Even before knowing where and when its next event would happen, the WEF had already announced its theme would be "the great reset" of the planet, positioning itself as the stage for the debate on the 'world we want.' Led by the WEF's Executive Chairman Klaus Schwab, the organizers believe they are the only ones who can bring the biggest companies in the world around the same table as political leaders. But it's not just the global situation that would give them such legitimacy. Within the organization, voices indicate that the new status of the Forum, recognized as an international organization, widens its scope for action.
Regrets, I've had a few ...
In 2019, Guterres silently signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the World Economic Forum, recommitting the UN to the WEF 20 years after Kofi Annan's announcement of the Global Compact in Davos in 1999. The UN-WEF MoU was proudly displayed on the WEF website but hidden away on the UN's. The logic behind Guterres' move was to find support among the most influential people on earth at a time when the UN is under pressure from Donald Trump. Today, many inside the system question the move, which, in practice, could have opened up a path of no return, giving the Forum the tools it needs to play the role of the main stage.
Real obstacles for both sides
Critical voices in Geneva point out that both sides suffer from a fundamental obstacle to exercising an (in the case of the WEF, self-proclaimed) leadership position: legitimacy. On the UN side, it is the legitimacy of output. WHO's hyper-visible mistakes, the UN's overall inability to overcome its bureaucratic burden, low accountability and a paralyzed Security Council place the system in a position of fragility. Seemingly trapped in every decision, the dispute for hegemony between Americans and China is undermining the UN's central role. Although the WEF's output is criticized as well, it also lacks an essential component for legitimacy: democratic accountability and civil society participation—and there is currently no sign that the oracle of capitalism is ready to open up in this way. If the COVID-19 pandemic is still raging by next summer's WEF meeting in Burgenstock, we could see a replay of the January 2008 Davos WEF. At that meeting, nine months ahead of Lehman Brothers' collapse, many were aware of the challenges facing the financial system. Instead of a reset, the world could still be in crisis control mode. If part of the story involves the world's failure to coordinate an international fight against the virus, those participating at the meeting will be ultimately and collectively responsible, and their ability to command the reset button will be further called into question.
Elsewhere in the ecosystem
- Dr. Tedros has announced he is in self-isolation due to having come into contact with someone who subsequently tested positive. Dr. Tedros said in a tweet, "I have been identified as a contact of someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. I am well and without symptoms but will self-quarantine over the coming days, in with @WHO protocols, and work from home."
- In an example of digital democracy working, the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU)—the Geneva-based "global organization of national parliaments," founded in 1889, is one of the first permanent forums for multilateral political negotiations that empowers "parliaments and parliamentarians to promote democracy—has a new president: Portugal's Duarte Pacheco. Tackling digital, as well as time zone challenges, some 400 parliamentarians from over 140 Parliaments were registered to vote via secret ballot through a secure online platform during a 24-hour window.
- In Bern, the Universal Postal Union has agreed to postpone its 27th Universal Postal Congress until August 2021, when it will be held in Côte d'Ivoire. Originally set to be held in Abidjan this August, it was canceled because of COVID-19. Set up in 1874, this is only the third time the congress has been postponed (because of the First and Second World Wars), underlining the truly historic nature of the pandemic.
- Switzerland's candidacy to the UN's Security Council is entering its final stage before elections in June 2022.
It was meant to be marked by an event in New York, with President Sommaruga and Foreign Minister Cassis in attendance (complete with Swiss-themed goody bags containing fondue cheese). However, they were forced to appear virtually due to travel restrictions—unlike Switzerland, the US did not offer quarantine waivers to visiting diplomats.
And finally, an important follow-up on the discussions relating to the Swiss Justice Ministry's willingness to extend a highly controversial immigration agreement between Switzerland and China, as we previously reported. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Swiss National Council—the lower house—has, by a large majority, requested that the Swiss Government review the matter. Foreign Minister Cassis is expected to appear before the committee when it meets on November 9. Opposition to the extension of the agreement has been steadily growing among Swiss citizens of Hong Kong origin. They sent an open letter to Justice minister Karin Keller-Suter and Head of the Secretariat for Migrations Marco Gattiker and have put up an online petition.

Keeping your HVAC system clean is a great way to care for your home and for the people who live there, too. In fact, as people become more and more conscious of their health, air duct cleaning is emerging as a way to make absolutely sure that the air you breathe when you're home is completely clean.
Not sure if you need air conditioning duct cleaning right now? Here are some guidelines for how often to call for air duct cleaning service.
Signs You Need Air Duct Cleaning
There's no hard and fast rule for how often to clean air ducts. Some professionals recommend it at least once a year. The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) suggests doing it every three to five years. However, the best way to decide when to call for air duct cleaning is to look for signs that your ducts are dirty. These include:
- Visible dust buildup around vents and registers
- A thick layer of dust in the parts of your ducts you can see
- Extra dust and debris in the filter area
- Mold and/or mildew odors coming from your registers
- Pests seen inside or seen accessing your ductwork
Air duct cleaning is also helpful under certain circumstances, usually when you know there are contaminants in your ductwork and you want to get them out. These circumstances include:
- You live in or near a construction zone or you've just finished a home remodeling project
- You are moving into a home that was just built
- Chemicals or other irritants have been released in your home
- You have pets that shed or drop dander
- You or someone you love often experiences symptoms of allergies or asthma in your home
You may also want to call an air duct cleaning service when you move into a new home. This is particularly true when you aren't provided with records of previous air duct cleaning so you aren't sure when the service was last performed.
Work With Us for Air Duct Cleaning
Call us at Daniels Plumbing & Air Conditioning today to schedule your air conditioning duct cleaning in Austin. We'll send an air quality expert to your home ASAP to clean your ducts out as soon as possible. Our team will get to work and keep working hard until your system is cleaned out and treated so that problems don't return.

Boxing and network television haven't been a pair for decades. Though once upon a time, the sport could be seen Saturday afternoons on ABC's Wide World of Sports. There were even fights broadcast over the air during prime time.
However, boxing long ago sold its soul to pay-per-view and the big revenues that come with charging viewers $70 or more to see fights between top contenders or championship contests. Otherwise, fans of the sport who don't want to pay premium prices are left to watch boxing on ESPN 2, Fox Sports 1 or NBC Sports Network, typically later at night or on weekends.
But NBC is looking to change that in a big way. This week, the network announced plans to televise what it's calling the Premier Boxing Champions (or PBC) series. In partnership with Haymon Boxing, NBC will televise 20 "PBC on NBC" events, including five to be shown in prime time on Saturday nights.
NBC is also rolling out its biggest play-by-play voice for its re-entry into the prime time boxing business. Al Michaels will be at ringside for the "PBC on NBC" Saturday night bouts. The Emmy award-winning broadcaster has plenty of experience in the fight game, calling the 1985 championship bout between Marvin Hagler and Sugar Ray Leonard, along with several matches on Wide World of Sports. Michaels and Leonard will reunite for the Saturday night telecasts, as the five-time world champion will provide analysis at ringside.
The debut "PBC on NBC" card is scheduled for March 7. The first bout will be a welterweight matchup between Keith Thurman (24-0, 21 knockouts) and Robert Guerrero (32-2-1, 18 KOs), a former lightweight and super-featherweight champion. In the second fight, former junior-welterweight champ Adrien Broner (29-1, 22 KOs) battles John Molina Jr. (27-5, 22 KOs).
On April 11, the headline bout will be a junior welterweight title unification match between Danny Garcia (29-0, 17 KOs) and Lamont Peterson (33-2-1, 17 KOs).
Between the talent in the ring and behind the microphone for its prime-time telecasts, NBC is putting some major star power into this venture. The question will be whether or not the network and Haymon Boxing can consistently put together quality fights for the "PBC on NBC" series. That's the only way this series will be able to compete with the programming available on HBO and Showtime.
Lamont Jones, vice president of operations for Haymon Boxing, promises name fighters will appear three to four times a year on the network. Jon Miller, president of programming for NBC Sports and NBC Sports Network expects the partnership with Haymon Boxing to maintain a high standard in the caliber of boxing talent available and isn't worried about the quality of matchups suffering as the series progresses.
"Not only am I not concerned, but I'm anticipating that the next fight we do after this will be just as big, if not bigger," Miller told Yahoo Sports' Kevin Iole. "I have every reason to believe from what our conversations have been and the way we've dealt with our partners that they're going to continue this level of prime-time exposure with these kinds of fights."
NBC will air six additional cards on Saturday afternoons, with nine more to be televised on NBC Sports Network. All of the "PBC on NBC" bouts will also be available on NBC Sports Live Extra through NBCSports.com or the NBC Sports Live Extra app.

Man Tried To Buy an SUV By Rapping Good, Stole Frito-Lay Truck Instead
The manager of a Carlie C's grocery store in Dunn, North Carolina told WRAL that a man stole a Frito-Lay truck and then sped away, leading law enforcement officers on a chase lasting nearly 100 miles.
According to the manager, the chip truck was stolen out of the parking lot of the grocery store around 7:30am Friday.
Arrik Schmidt, the suspect accused by officers of stealing the truck, led state troopers on a chase through Johnston County.
WRAL reports that the chip truck wasn't his first choice for a ride.
The manager of a nearby dealership next door, Stephen Jackson, told the news outlet that Schmidt had offered to purchase a Lincoln Navigator, in exchange for a song.
"He asked if he could rap good enough would I give him the Navigator," Jackson told WRAL.
Obviously, that didn't fly in exchange for a Navigator, but Jackson said that Schmidt came by later that day.
"He said, 'Well let me make some moves tonight, and I'll be back tomorrow and see what we can do,'" Jackson said. "That's kind of where we left off."
That next morning, Schmidt stole the Lays Truck next door.
Deputies pursued Schmidt and the chip truck until they were three counties north of where the truck was stolen. Police put down stop sticks on the interstate to take out the tires on the truck.
Arrik Schmidt was charged with felony larceny of a motor vehicle in Dunn, but is also facing charges in Johnston County for the chase. As of Friday, he was sitting in the Harnett County jail.

text: Triton's Treasure SlotsPlay NowDive deep down into the ocean and try to peel some treasure away from King Triton himself in Triton's Treasure the online slot game. This game comes with a bunch of cool features and it looks really nice as well, which is exactly why we were so interested in giving it a shot. That doesn't mean that we loved everything about this game though. Keep reading and you'll see what I mean. Betting OptionsOne very strong area of Triton's Treasure is the betting options that are available. It's simple to place a bet and that amount can vary from as little as $0.01 per spin to as much as $125.00. Of course a decent amount of adjusting will have to go into getting these options just right. Turn the paylines on and off to choose between 1 and 25 for the perfect amount. Set the different line values from $0.01 to $5.00 to get an exact bet amount that's comfortable for you. King Triton the WildKing Triton is the wild symbol in this slot, and appears on reels 2, 3 and 4. In these positions he offers an amazing set of winning possibilities. Once the symbol appears on any reel, that reel will be completely populated with wilds that make winning easy. Triton's Treasure BonusThe mermaid is the scatter symbol in this slot and offers excellent flat payouts while also serving as the key for the cool bonus game. Getting between 2 and 5 of the scatters rewards you with 1x to 100x payouts. Getting three or more activates the bonus round of Triton's Treasure. This special bonus round comes with a 1x multiplier and a total of 5 free spins, but that's not what you're stuck with. For every single Mermaid out on the reels just before the bonus triggered you get a pick that you can use to increase your multiplier by 2x or give yourself another 5 free spins. You can get either the multiplier or the free spin count quite high using your picks. There's also a chance that you can increase your spins by getting three or more Mermaid symbols during your free spins, which gives you 5 more spins each time. Random PayoutsThere are two random jackpots in Triton's Treasure for you to go for as well. These payout after a spin in the slot game and are awarded randomly. They increase in size every time that you spin and can leave you with hundreds or thousands of dollars in prize money if you are lucky enough. Triton's Treasure is a decent online slot game just by its looks alone, but it offers enough additional features to become an exciting gambling option. It comes with a solid bonus, excellent betting options and decent features overall. Sure the bonus game is difficult to trigger and there could be a better array of features, but there's enough to keep most players happy for quite some time.Play Now

In some exercises in class, you will have to find the multiple of a number. This logic of the multiples of a number is based on a simple rule, a number is a multiple of another when dividing the number you need to know if it is a multiple, between the number as such, for example, to know if 15 is a multiple of 5 , the remainder of the operation by dividing 15/5 should be 0:
Note: we are talking about the remainder of the operation, not the result of the division, that is, 15/3 = 3, however we need the remainder of said operation, that is, the modulo operator (MOD or% in PseInt).
# Modulo operator
15 % 5 = 0
This means that when dividing 15 by 3, the remainder of said operation is 0, therefore 15 is a multiple of 5. Now, if you need to find the first X or N multiples of some number, you must resort to an indefinite cycle that it will stop only when some counter / flag variable tells it to end. In this case we will work with 3 variables that will function as counters. The counter variable will contain the number that we are going to divide to know if it is a multiple of the entered number, therefore it will gradually increase by 1 until the "limit" variable that contains the current index of the total numbers that have been declared as multiples of the number entered:
Algoritmo NPrimerosMultiplos
Definir _numero, contador, limite, numeroMultiplos Como Entero
Escribir "Enter the number of multiples to calculate:"
Leer numeroMultiplos
Escribir "Enter the number value to calculate your first", numeroMultiplos ," multiples:"
Leer _numero
limite = 1
contador = 1
Si contador MOD _numero = 0 Entonces
Escribir limite, ") ", contador
limite = limite + 1
contador = contador + 1
Hasta Que limite > numeroMultiplos
Happy coding ❤!

segments of the land surface. Major anthropogenic causes of land subsidence
are extraction of fluids including water, oil, and gas. Measurement and detec-
tion of land subsidence include both ground-based and remotely sensed air-
borne and space-based methods. Methods for measurement of subsidence at
points include differential leveling, global positioning system surveys, and
extensometers. Satellite-borne differential interferometric synthetic aperture
radar and airborne LiDAR techniques can detect land-surface movement over
wide areas of interest. Aquifer-system compaction and subsidence owing to
groundwater extraction typically occurs in areas of unconsolidated alluvial or
basin-fill aquifer systems comprising aquifers and aquitards. Approaches to
analyzing and modeling deformation of aquifer systems follow from the basic
relations between head, stress, compressibility, and groundwater flow.
Analysis and simulation of aquifer-system compaction have been addressed
primarily using either an approach based on conventional groundwater flow
theory or an approach based on linear poroelasticity theory. Both approaches
rely on the principle of effective stress outlined by Karl Terzaghi in 1925. In
the approach based on conventional groundwater flow theory, an aquitard
drainage model explains the compaction of fine grained material using the
principle of effective stress and theory of hydrodynamic lag. Packages for the
widely-used MODFLOW groundwater model are available to simulate aqui-
fer-system compaction and land subsidence using the aquitard-drainage
approach. Poroelasticity theory describes the more fully coupled processes of
groundwater flow and three-dimensional deformation of aquifer systems.
The general theory accounts for compressible fluid, porous matrix and solid
grains. Simulation codes using the poroelastic theory include some commer-
cial software products and a few research codes.

Bone setting is almost unheard of in Western countries, but plays a significant role in Traditional Chinese Medicine and has been used for more than 3,000 years.
Traditional bone setting is a holistic care process to cure the imbalance of the skeleton, muscles and joints, which might cause pain.
Before the advent of chiropractors, osteopaths, and physical therapists, bone setters were the main providers of this type of treatment.
Pain can be caused by incorrectly stressed, overextended or blocked compounds such as those of the spine or joints.
By stretching, resetting, and realigning, traditional Chinese bone setting therapy can alleviate bone-related pain to cure disarticulation and other orthopedic diseases.
Our highly experienced Dr Cheung practices a very smooth and gentle bone setting technique, which is perceived by the patient as very pleasant. In addition, Dr Cheung also combines his considerable acupuncture knowledge in his bone setting therapies.

Bone setting is particularly helpful with:
○ Joint pain
○ Relocation of joints
○ Muscle pain
○ Swelling
○ Contusion
○ Sprains
○ Menstrual Pain
○ Stomachache
○ Headache
○ Dizziness

Our Trip
Traveling with food allergies, takes planning, but can be done. Last week we went on a small trip to Kitchener Waterloo in Ontario. We planed a couple of day trips that allowed us to take our own food.
Children's Museum with interactive exhibits that where great for kids. Along side the museum was Exhibit Café that had both vegan and gluten free options.
Doon Heritage Crossroads where we visited pioneer village set in 1914. The children weaved rugs, help feed animals and we toured the village sawmill, general store and more.
I then researched some allergy friendly restaurants Swiss Chalet, Zen Garden and Valentino's Organic Pizza. At Swiss Chalet we had a milk free dinner. At Valetino's Organic Pizzeria we had dairy free pizza that was wonderful for our allergic child.
We tried to go to the Zen Garden, it is an all vegetarian, mostly vegan restaurant. They had delays with their supplier of dairy free ice cream, so this was disappointing.
Across from the Zen Garden we visited the magic shop Kind of Magic and interesting new and used book store mostly for children called Read For Your Life. We visited a few other downtown shops.
When I booked the hotel I also requested a fridge for our room. We brought little packets of dairy free porridge to heat up for breakfast, and lots of food for our outings.

Hi there! Nice to meet you! Thanks for sending me your site so I could add you to my dairy free blogroll!
I am quite jealous that you have allergy friendly restaurants! Here in the deep south, we can't find anything like that. I'm also too afraid to go to a restaurant for fear of cross contamination. Maybe one day we'll have an allergy friendly restaurant.
Sounds like you had a great trip! Again, so glad to meet you! Please pop in at my place whenever you like! :)

Isaiah 55:11
"So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."
There is a Name I love to hear,
I love to sing its worth;
It sounds like music in my ear,
The sweetest Name on earth.
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Oh, how I love Jesus,
Because He first loved me!
These words were written in 1855 by Frederick Whitfield, and has become a timeless classic in churches around the world. It is a small testimony that whatever is born of God never dies. Small praises make big impacts. A little love goes a long way...and so many other cliches that imprint great truths!
Lord, may my life be a living testimony for You. May You use me to attract others to Your saving grace. May what I do or say honor You for years after I am gone, and even if it doesn't, Lord, may it please You today! In the Name of Jesus I pray, Amen!

A year ago, we blogged about Data Security as a Practice. Since then, we have continued the practices we talked about there, integrating it even further into our daily practice, and incorporating new processes and aspects into our existing cadence. We have continued to teach and learn by assessing new risks, taking on-board new approaches and evaluating new technologies.
Seven months ago, we started on a journey to international accreditation of our Information Security Management System. We started by pulling together our existing controls and processes and aligning it with a certification standard. Our management team collaborated to define strategic alignment, goals and the context of the organisation in relation to information security. We included the entire BizCubed team in risk assessments because we know that drawing on diverse perspectives and experiences leads to better outcomes.
Six months ago, we passed our Stage 1 Audit with flying colours, but of course there was still a lot of work to do. The Stage 1 audit simply checked that our system framework was established and defined. Next we had to demonstrate that it was a living entity, not just a blueprint for a future state.
So we dug further, documented more, got into the nitty-gritty of 114 information security controls and conducted an entire information system internal audit from top to bottom. We incorporated it into our cadence: every day we identify any client feedback related to security; every week we review new risks; every month the management team reviews information security trends and aspects across the business.
And it was exciting.
Just over a month ago we had our Stage 2 Audit. It was an intense few days, and again a great result. We had many participants across the organisation: senior managers, senior data engineers, service delivery data engineers, and the CEO.
While much of what we do now we did before, the entire system has been reinforced and is significantly more robust. It's also clear to everyone in the company how important information security is, and we all actively participate in it every day. It is core to our business, it is critical to our customers, and it is key to our overall business strategy and vision.
A few short weeks ago we received the ISO27001 certification, the culmination of this work – or rather, a celebration of this work, because this of course is not the end of it. From here, we will continue as we always have, practicing data security as a daily norm, continually improving, making better decisions every day.

Continuous Testing 2.0 – Increasing Efficiency and Profit
The Internet has transformed dramatically since its introduction to organizations worldwide. From infrastructure and software to the browsers and websites, all have resulted in a major shift in how the development and testing process is executed. Moreover, user expectations have increased exceedingly and the ability to deliver go-to-market software has become a source of contention for organizations across all industry sectors.
To best meet business goals, the adoption of new software development lifecycle must be considered, as IT is integral to organizational success. In fact, the most important dimension within the CIO portfolio of work, according to a 2014 Deloitte CIO Survey, is the delivery of business outcomes through IT services (55 percent) followed by enhancing customer experience through technology (35 percent) and building a more agile IT delivery model (28 percent).
What is needed now to keep up in this ever evolving, high-pressure environment is a continuous testing model that will help turn costly, tedious and complicated QA and testing lifecycles into time-efficient money-making processes.
Lower IT headcount means you save the big money for innovation
Did you know that out of an organization's total IT budget, 30 percent is allocated to staffing alone? At least that's what IT professionals reported in an ESG 2014 IT Spending Intentions Survey. That's a third of budget spent on what are already costly employees. To thrive in today's economy, QA and testing teams are often made of highly skilled MBA-wielding engineers. And that's hoping you can actually find one in the current competitive job market.
When all is said and done, you can bet your organization will spend a pretty penny or two just to have the right QA and testing team in place. But it makes sense, doesn't it? It's what's needed to succeed, after all.
Test automation projects are typically much more demanding than first thought. Not only does traditional automated testing require scripting expertise, but in-depth knowledge on the various platforms the product functions across. Another thing to consider is that once the test is executed, it must be done again, again and again. Daily repetitive test execution is required to really ensure your product is functioning correctly for end users.
Now, what if we were to tell you there's another way? What if I told you Joe or Sally the intern could create tests and execute them on the same level as a senior QA and testing team member?
Manual handoffs between departments to perform and execute tests no longer work. The number of iterations demanded and the extremely short period of time required completing them means innovation falls to the wayside.
Agility and continuity is key in this new environment. The best way to reach this goal is to invest in a tool that enables agile testing in the continuous delivery process, coupled with the ability to allow any team member – regardless of rank – to run an automated test. A tool that is so simple, all one has to do is test directly from the browser window.
In effect, resources free up, efficiency increases and cost decreases, which then gives the go ahead for the development as well as QA and testing teams to focus on matters that truly utilize their talents. This will give you the opportunity to actually hone in on the type of team you want and them the power to create more innovative products, all helping your organization to stay ahead of the market curve.

Common Jewelry Shopping Mistakes You Need to Avoid
Whether you are looking for a jewellery gift for your daughter or wife, shopping for jewelry can be a bit daunting for men. Since they have the little experience they are likely to make few mistakes. Bad shopping habits or hasty decisions can put you at risk of being scammed. However, to make your shopping experience smooth we will acquaint you with enough information to realize what the problems might be.
So we are here to help you. Keep reading for common jewelry mistakes you need to avoid.
Here we go…
- Not knowing the materials used to make jewellery:
This is one of the most common mistakes men are likely to commit while purchasing jewellery gift for girlfriend or wife. You should always be aware of what material the pieces are made of. Ask the seller to specify the material and type of design. Knowledge is power so make sure to avail all information on the piece of jewelry you are about to purchase. Also, whether the metal you are buying is appropriate for your girl's skin tone or not. Take time, even if it needs a few extra hours to think. This will ensure you make the right purchase decision.
- Not Knowing the Style:
This is the most crucial step for finding the perfect piece of jewelry for your loved one. Knowing the style will help you save time from visiting jewelers who don't have the pieces you want. Since there is a varied style, it's obvious to get confused. To exactly find the style of the wearer, keep a view of jewelry she is already wearing. Some ladies prefer wearing bulky pieces while some prefer wearing dainty ones. Knowing the style of the wearer will make the process much easier for you from Beauty & Lifestyle Blogger.
- Not being creative with jewellery:
With the change in seasons, jewelry trends also change. So rather than experimenting yourself, first check current trends. Accordingly, be creative with different combinations and find what works best for your lady. Whether she is a working woman or not- take note of everything then make the right decision.
- Not checking Colors and Gems:
Gain a rough idea of what color jewelry your lady loves to adorn. Does she wear solid yellow, white, or colored gemstones? Some women prefer wearing subtle pieces, while some may like glittery pieces. So when buying, consider the style of the person you are buying a gift for. Furthermore, also pay attention to the type of stone a person likes.
- Being unaware of 4 C's:
Carat, cut, color, and clarity are few important aspects of buying diamond jewelry. These factors are likely to influence your gem price so ensure that you do your homework before heading for jewelry shopping.
At last, dedicate yourself to finding a reputed store. And if you want to go online shopping, check customer reviews. Knowing mistakes to avoid before shopping will help you make the right decision. It will also save your time and money.

Louisville Loses Their First Game of the CWS to Indiana
By Cam Newton
It's been a long six years since the last one, but here we are! The 2013 College World Series. It wasn't easy to get here. Louisville had to fight and claw their way to Omaha all season. They had to first be Big East regular season champs. They had to make the tournament and host a regional. They had to best three other teams in their region. They had to defeat number 2 national seed Vanderbilt. And here they are. Playing to win a national title in TD Ameritrade Park. This is their time to show what they're made of.
Chad Green started off the first pretty shaky, walking the first batter he faced, then allowing a single to Kyle Schwarber to put runners on first and second. Even worse when Green gets in a 3-0 count against Sam Travis. Then Louisville managed to catch a HUGE break when IU attempts a double steal and Nolden is thrown out at third, and Schwarber barely makes it into 2nd. Thankfully, he managed to strike out Travis and IU had two outs just like that. Then, Green couldn't capitalize on that momentum and he allowed an RBI single to Scott Donley, which was partially redeemed by striking out the next batter, Michael Basil. The Cards couldn't manage any better. After a promising start to the inning that included a leadoff walk by Adam Engel, which was followed by a flawless sac bunt from Cole Sturgeon to advance Engel to second, the Cards looked to be in good position to tie the game. Sadly, they proved unable to do such after flying out in back-to-back at bats from Ty Young and Coco Johnson.
The top of the third inning was not great for the Cards, to say the least. Chad Green had been looking off his game all night, and it all began to culminate in this inning. Right off the bat, he walked the first IU batter of the inning, allowed a single to Schwarber, and followed that up with another walk. Something had to change. UofL didn't hesitate to go to the bullpen and bring in LHP Cody Ege to try and work out of the bases loaded-no outs situation. He managed to get out the first batter he faced, but then allowed a hit to LF, which scored a run, but thanks to the spectacular throw by Coco Johnson, IU's Kyle Schwarber was out at home. This was then followed by an IU groundout to end the inning. Gotta give it up to UofL for getting out of that situation and only allowing one run. Louisville started the third with a fly-out, but that was followed up with a Sutton Whiting walk, where he then advanced to second on a wild pitch. Engel fouled out and Louisville looked like it might strand another baserunner. Then, Cole Sturgeon hits a ball into right field, but a great throw home by Nolden, coupled with poor baserunning decisions by Whiting and the 3B Coach leads to an out at home. Louisville comes up with nothing.
The fourth looked like it could also be bad for Louisville (as we've become accustomed to throughout this game so far). IU started off with a single, then a sac bunt. Louisville then looked to be in a position to get a second out on a ground ball, but it hit Ty Young's glove and there was the night's first error. Thankfully, Cody Ege showed why he was brought in (as well as the massive strike zone tonight) and struck out back-to-back batters to end the inning. The bottom of the fourth was delayed for quite a while, however, as the home plate umpire ran off the field, apparently sick, and then the 2nd base ump had to change and assume the role of home plate umpire. Then we had to wait for an alternate umpire to come to the game…it was a very odd ordeal and was about a 10 minute delay.
The top of the fifth inning was superb for Cody Ege and the Cards, as they allowed IU to do nothing offensively, as well as striking out two batters. Cody Ege has been dealing all night. Then it looked like the Cards were finally gonna muster up some offense here in the bottom of the fifth after a leadoff hit by Zach Lucas. Sadly, terrible baserunning decisions cost UofL another chance at scoring tonight, as Wasserman struck out while Lucas was thrown out trying to steal second. this was followed by a Crain strikeout and pitiful baserunning for the Cards squandered an excellent opportunity to score some runs in the game. This obviously isn't meant to take credit away from IU's Joey DeNato, who has been dealing tonight and hasn't allowed UofL to do anything offensively.
After Ege pitched another great inning in the sixth, Louisville started the bottom of the sixth looking like they would have a shot to close the gap after a Cole Sturgeon two-out single. Sadly enough, Ty Young hit a ball right into the glove of an IU defender and that was that. Another baserunner stranded. Another scoreless inning for IU's DeNato.
In the top of the seventh, IU started to capitalize on the fatigue from Cody Ege. Ege had pitched great for the Cards tonight, but he pitched a career-high 4.1 innings tonight. The Cards brought in skilled pitcher Dace Kime to face a situation with the bases loaded and only one out. Thankfully, Ty Young was able to catch a hit that was rocketing along, then step on third, and throw a bullet to first for the inning-ending double play. Absolute redemption for the error earlier. It was just a great catch. Any miscalculation, and the game would more than likely be over. As was usual this game, UofL was able to get a walk, but could not capitalize on the gift baserunner or the tired DeNato, and the inning was over…Thankfully, that was DeNato's last inning and we were all hoping the Cards would get some runs without him on the mound.
In the top of the eighth, Dace Kime picked up right where Cody Ege left off, striking out a batter and pitching a hitless inning. Going into the bottom of the eighth, Joey DeNato surprisingly took the mound again for the Hoosiers, and the Cards knew they had only 6 outs left in the game and that they need to capitalize on a tired pitcher. Crain led off the inning by grounding out on the second pitch. Whiting then followed that up by being DeNato's 8th strikeout victim of the night. Then Adam Engel, with a full count, hit a ball dead on and rocketed it into left field for a double. Just a beautiful hit bu Engel, which was immediately done away with after a Sturgeon groundout. Three outs left.
To start the ninth, IU's Nolden hit a leadoff double, which he's been tearing up the Cardinals' pitching staff all night. Dace Kime followed up after by striking out Schwarber, but then a passed ball caused Nolden to advance to third. IU had runners on the corner with only one out. Cole Sturgeon was then brought in to replace Kime, what with the pressing situation. Thankfully, Nolden was thrown out at third on the pitch out, which was the inning's second out. One of the many baserunning mistakes that have been riddled throughout this game. Sturgeon then struck out Sujka. The Cards have three outs left. What are they going to do?
Joey DeNato, despite throwing 130 pitches already, stayed in the game for the beginning of the bottom of the ninth inning. He had to be tired. Instead, in a matter of six pitches, Louisville had gotten all three outs off of two fly-outs and a ground out. It was over. Louisville had been shut out only twice this season, and both times by the Hoosiers.
IU's DeNato is obviously the player of the game. I mean, where would the Hoosiers be without DeNato's spectacular performance? Many thought he was going to be too fatigued in the waning innings, but he proved the nay-sayers wrong (sadly). Instead, he made UofL look silly tonight and now the Cards are headed to an elimination game.
So now we wait for Monday night. The Cards will be playing Oregon State in an elimination game. As the name entails, a loss means a trip back to Louisville. A win means another day in Omaha. Which path will the Cardinals choose? All I can say is that I hope Jeff Thompson plays 1,000,000x better than Chad Green tonight. I know where I'll be Monday at 3 pm. Time for redemption. Go Cards.
WP: IU's Joey DeNato (10-2), complete game, 4 Hits, 3 BB, 8 K.
LP: UL's Chad Green (10-4), 2 IP, 3 Hits, 2 R, 2 ER, 4 BB, 4 K
