Special thoughts this Christmas
This Christmas I have given special thought to the courage, sacrifice and dedication of our Savior. I cannot imagine what suffering He must have undergone; and for what? That He might save mankind. Because He taught principles of good behavior, the principles of following the rule of law, the principles of moral living and loving everyone, but not tolerating the sin. He suffered like no other man ever and yet He never broke the laws or abused anyone. It deeply disturbs me and reminds me of the fight that is continuing today; the battle of good and evil. The battle to save this land from those that would destroy it, a battle to stay free, a land brought about under His divine direction through our Founders. He knew what He had to do and He did it no matter the consequences.
I love my Savior and I know we have a special duty to this Republic; it is His creation, established through Devine Providence as stated in our Founding document the Declaration of Independence. A land fought for in order to have "agency/freedom" for all people. A land dedicated to the protection of certain "inalienable rights." A fight that is in jeopardy and worries me deeply. This attachment was sent to me from Jerry and Karen Johnson and worth sharing.
May God continue to bless this Republic and may each or you have a Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. Never, never, never, never, never give up!!!
"Your love of liberty – your respect for the laws – your habits of industry – and your practice of the moral and religious obligations, are the strongest claims to national and individual happiness." – George Washington, letter to the residents of Boston, 1789
With love of God, Family and Country and deepest love and belief in our Savior Jesus Christ, may you remember him on his celebrated birthday and have a great New Year.
Merry Christmas.
Yours in Liberty,
Russell and LuAnne Pearce
Happy Holidays from Foothills Animal Rescue!
Can you believe that another year is just about over??
Here at Foothills Animal Rescue we are looking forward to even more adoptions in the upcoming year, but we wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for your continued support throughout the year.
Whether you have adopted a pet, volunteered your time, donated items to the shelter, boutique, attended one of our events or made a simple donation, it's important to remember that everyone plays a part in helping our animals find a home and until they do, knowing they have a safe haven and will be cared for until that day comes, it can't be accomplished without the support of the community in which we reside.
We are close to 500 adoptions for the year and have welcomed new volunteers, board members and community partners to the Foothills family. We look forward to even more community involvement in 2012.
So on behalf of our staff, board members and especially our furry friends, we wish you a happy, healthy and safe holiday season to you, your friends, family and course your pets and we look forward to spreading more good news in the New Year!
Thank you again for your support!!

Thankful for rural life
On this cold, Christmas season morning, I am reflecting on what makes me thankful.
I am thankful for rural life – where I run into friends who tease me, tell me jokes or lend a friendly smile at the store or my son's basketball game. I am thankful for a sense of place, that I am firmly rooted in the American Heartland. I am thankful for being raised on the land and having all around me its subtle beauty.
I am thankful for being a part of a family that embraces our responsibilities to each other. I am grateful for being raised in a way that taught me to make, fix and grow things, as well as to understand, speak and write about things.
We face stern challenges in America. Wealth is concentrating and the middle class is shrinking, as more families face unemployment and insecure retirements. Rural communities are struggling to survive. And government has become dysfunctional and unable to respond effectively.
But we have the capacity to address each of these challenges. In America, we have the opportunity to right the wrongs and take control of our destiny through the democratic process. It is up to us to use it.
Nothing ever got better by sitting around complaining. Things get better when ordinary citizens embrace their responsibility to make things better, by the actions they take in their personal lives, communities, organizations and government. I am thankful for every American who embraces that responsibility.

Thank you for your public service
Dear Mayor Vincent Francia, Vice Mayor Ernie Bunch and Councilman Esser:
Thank you very much for your public service. Although, I am a no tax, smaller government proponent, I very much agree with Councilman LaMar that fire protection is a basic service that should be provided by government. It also appears to me that 45 percent of the property owners paying 95 percent of the cost of fire protection is grossly unfair. I support the yes vote of the council for getting the fire protection issue on the May ballot, but appreciate and respect your position.
I spoke with five of my neighbors about the issue. All of them are Rural Metro subscribers. Four of the five are in favor of the issue getting on the ballot. The one who was not in favor did not trust government to handle things efficiently. Based on my sample, the yes vote clearly represents the will of my neighborhood (5 of 6).
I also support the no vote on agenda item number 5. I believe that you owe it to your merchants to eliminate that tax as soon as possible. I also believe that the property tax for fire protection should go 100 percent for fire protection and should pay 100 percent of the fire protection cost.
Thank you again for your service to the community.

A balanced plan for a balanced budget
Washington has a spending problem. A big one.
Indeed, the federal government now borrows more than 40 cents of every dollar it spends, and our $15 trillion debt – now larger than our entire economy – only continues to grow. Our fiscal position is clearly unsustainable; unless we do something about it, the rising tide of debt will overwhelm our economy, destroy jobs, and ruin the American dream for future generations.
Yet, even with the clear need for action, Congress has proven historically unreliable when it comes to making the tough choices necessary to control spending and balance the budget. Here's a little history: When the Senate passed a balanced budget amendment (BBA) in 1982, the national debt was $1.1 trillion. In 1986, when the Senate failed by one vote to pass a BBA, the national debt topped$2.1 trillion dollars. By 1997, when the Senate again failed by one vote to pass a balanced budget amendment, the national debt was more than $5 trillion. And, as we now know, today's debt has galloped past the $15 trillion mark! So, there's no evidence that Congress has been willing or able to reduce the debt without constitutional restraints.
That's why, in legislation approved earlier this year, congressional Republicans mandated that Congress must vote on an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would force Congress to live within its means. The amendment they proposed included real reforms that would help the government get control of spending – for instance, by requiring that the president submit a balanced budget to Congress each year.
It also contained two key enforcement mechanisms.
First, Congress would have to limit spending to 18 percent of our country's total gross domestic product (GDP). The BBA would also prohibit spending from exceeding total revenues in a given year. Why 18 percent? If the goal is to balance the budget, the only way to succeed is to limit federal spending to the level of revenue the economy is actually able to bear. And, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, revenues averaged 18 percent of GDP over the past three decades.
The second key mechanism in the Republican BBA is a prohibition on any bill that increases taxes from becoming law unless it is approved by a two-thirds majority in both chambers. When Congress can't get its hands on enough money for its spending priorities, the temptation is always to increase taxes. I believe there should be a much greater threshold for Congress to meet before it is allowed to take more money out of the pockets of American workers and families. Moreover, when it comes to closing budget deficits, raising taxes is one of the least productive solutions. Not only does projected revenue typically fail to materialize, but higher taxes also discourage work, production, savings, and investment, resulting in lower revenues in future years.
Critics of this BBA plan painted a doomsday scenario – intimating that its passage would result in immediate changes and draconian cuts. That's just not accurate. Congress cannot amend the Constitution. Congress can only propose an amendment for the states to consider ratifying. If it passed, the balanced budget amendment would not become effective until five years after ratification by three-fourths of the states.
Unfortunately, when this Republican BBA was voted on in the Senate in December, it was rejected, with every Democratic senator voting against it. All Republicans supported it.
During this time of economic uncertainty, American families are tightening their belts, cutting spending and doing their best to live within their means. Congress and the President should too.

There is a better way …
The U.S. Congress has continued to bargain away our future with the constant error of logic that compromise is necessary to get along with their political adversaries. Ninety percent of the incumbents are re-elected every two years. The same politicians that have caused all our problems are put back in office to continue the same mistakes over and over.
GOOOH (get out of our house) will challenge those incumbents in the primaries with citizen representatives chosen by the members of their district. This is no third party movement. We will compete against the entrenched politicians in the primaries. The few good representatives there will grow stronger with honest competition. Almost every person in America supports fair and honest competition. The politicians are the only ones who seem to disagree. They care more about their party than fairness to the process.

Can we survive four more years of Obama?
Is the average American aware that Russia is committed by treaty to come to aid of Syria and China is likewise committed to defend Iran? Now that Obama has aided and abetted the destabilization of Libya and Egypt making Israel more apprehensive, where are we going? Obama has done everything in his power to punish our mining, farming and manufacturing resources.
Obama has sabotaged every practical energy initiative. Obama has squandered trillions of dollars and has nothing to show for it. Can we survive four more years of this suicidal administration? Can we continue to trust a president whose parents hated this nation?

Kim Jong Il not a leader
I wish the press would stop referring to Kim Jong Il as the "leader" of North Korea. Leadership is a positive term. Kim did not lead anyone. He was a dictator. Leaders have followers. Kim, like Kings and other authoritarians, had subjects. If members of the press need any other descriptors besides "dictator" I would suggest "thug" or "despot" but not leader.

Green Cedar marries a duo of cedars, the first gathered from forests in Texas, the second collected from the wild high in the Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
Twice distilled, the Texas cedar has a clean, dry aspect rarely seen in a cedar fragrance. In contrast to this, the Moroccan cedar is sweet, rich and opulent.
Combined with unexpected notes of natural magnolia, cypriol, cardamom, and smoky guaiac wood, the result is an intoxicating and distinctive gender neutral fragrance.

How can financial advisors boost their social media profiles in just 3 steps?
Advisors need to treat their social footprint just like any other marketing and communication channel. Today, creating a social account to 'look around' can hurt more than it helps. If you are an advisor trying to get an edge over your competitors, you need to develop a social media strategy just like you would in traditional forms of marketing and communication.
Why start from scratch? Here are three easy-to-implement action items to point you in the right direction.

Kidderminster-based UKIP MEP James Carver is urging Wyre Forest planning chiefs to adopt the Government's latest figures for housing targets and save the town's threatened green belt.
Consultants Amion second-guessed the methodology the Government was expected to introduce in suggesting to the district council that 300 new homes a year were needed up until 2034, totalling 5,400 plus a further 600 care home places.
But the Government's Housing Need Data Consultation Table quotes a reduced figure of 246 new homes a year needed over the next 10 years.
Mr Carver said: "If you extend that to 2034 – the period of the council's proposed Local Plan – the total is 4,428, which is almost 1,000 less than Amion claimed.
"The council's own Strategic Housing and Economic Land Availability Assessment states the potential number of homes that could be built on existing developable sites is 4,543 – well within the revised total required.
"I urge the council to adopt the official figures which would negate the need to encroach on valued green belt bordering Spennells and Offmore and at the rear of Baldwin Road.
"There is fervent opposition to the Draft Local Plan, which went out to public consultation in the summer, because of the threat to Kidderminster's green belt.
"Amion's figures are – for 10 years at least – out of kilter with Government forecasts, which show such infringement is unnecessary. Furthermore, there is nothing to suggest the annual figure should change in the eight years from 2026 to 2034.
"I hope the councillors will take heed of these figures which were not available at the time the draft plan was drawn up and make the required amendments to protect the green belt."
Linda Walters, speaking for Spennells Against Further Expansion, welcomed Mr Carver's defence of the green belt, saying: "We also hope that WFDC will now adjust their figures accordingly. It is quite apparent that it is not necessary to develop the fields adjacent to Spennells."

Attribute the following to Bob Quinn, AT&T Senior Vice President of Federal Regulatory and Chief Privacy Officer:
"Today's announcement by the FCC to appoint a Technology Task Force to modernize its rules for the transition of traditionally regulated services to applications that ride on an IP broadband infrastructure is welcome news. As AT&T pointed out in our recent filing, that transition is well underway with more than 70% of consumers having already migrated away from POTS service. Addressing these issues in a comprehensive process that crosses the smoke-stacked bureau structure that is a remnant of an almost eight decades old telecom law is critically important. The Task Force created today by the Commission seems like a logical step towards that comprehensive process. We look forward to working with the FCC and others to ensure we have the right policies in place to promote investment in 21st century communications infrastructure."

Well folks, it's getting closer to that time of the year: traveling season. Many of you are planning on taking trips throughout the United States and maybe even abroad (LUCKY)! For this blog, however, I want to focus on traveling through the U.S. and some of the things you need to be taking with you—leaning on the side of concealed carry and safety.
First and foremost: You need to be checking state laws for the states that you are going to be traveling through—specifically if that state honors your home-state's concealed carry laws.
This is important because, maybe you want to travel to say… New York. Guess what. From what I personally interpret of the laws there, if you're from out of state, you cannot even apply for a permit. (If anyone has some input on this, please leave me a comment with your sources). Other states that only honor their own permits include: California, Hawaii, Maryland, and New Jersey.
After you've checked everything out, and the states you will be traveling through honor your home-state permit, next is making sure your firearm(s) are secure during travel.
Some of the states you may be entering require that your pistol be kept in a locked container, so to be on the safe side, take your locking case with you (or get one if you don't have one already). If a you have to go through a state that does not honor your state permit, then my advice is to just go ahead and store your pistol in that locking case with your ammunition separate from it, in the trunk of your car—just to be safe.
If everything's all set, and you're almost ready to head out on your trip, remember to throw a toolbox (for your vehicle), check for that car-jack and tire-iron, a spare tire, a case of water, and a first aid kit. (That's my basic list I always take on trips, plus luggage.)
Remember, check the laws before you leave. Always. Stay armed and stay safe, my friends.
Where are you traveling this summer? Did you plan your trip so that you avoid states that don't honor your state's CCL? Let me know in the comments.

We opened with this really inspiring video about an Indian corn roaster who grew weary of fanning the corn with his hands; fair enough because it really buggers up your wrists!

At first, we revisited genre to break it down into five stages: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution. Continue reading
Innovative thinking: A design tool.
This morning professional Practices began with the notion of 'thinking outside the box'. This term is often used to indicate that a process of innovative thinking should commence; to break away from common conventions (the 'norm' ) in order to invent fresh, developmental ideas. Continue reading
'Information architecture' research.
This morning I took a look at my brief to see that we are moving onto how information can be presented in more visual, graphic ways. I jumped onto Moodle and found some links to begin my research on such a topic. Continue reading
Controlling light & shadow: interiors.
Lighting was the priority for today's perspective class. We ran through a slideshow up in the homeroom that demonstrated how light plays upon a subjects surface due to its positioning/angling. In particular, we looked at a church model. This was a great example due to its geometric planes shifting in depth due to the shadow projected upon it. Continue reading
Story and genre analysis.
This week we're back into our story discussions with the theme: Story and Genre Analysis. The main goal of today was to dig deeper into story by picking apart the very structure behind it all; differentiating between plot and story, defining what an act, scene and part is as well as asking 'what is genre?'. The lesson was jam packed with a lot of important info and was highly engaging. Plus I missed Scotts humour, so yeah. Continue reading
Balance, tone and proportion: Final.
After having a brief look at some examples of letterforms that have been designed into a digital presentable form, we were told that our final must also either be painted or inked onto quality paper OR scanned into the computer, and digitally rendered/enhanced. Continue reading
Leadership, management, conflict.
Unfortunately I had to stay at home today due to my tonsillitis just being out of control in terms of soreness and coughing…which meant that I had to miss out on participating in classes today. As Moodle does not display week 9's subject topic, I've had a look at peoples WordPress blogs. From what I can gather the lesson for today was in regards to understanding the specifications of people management. Continue reading
Framing and composition.
This morning I found myself immersed in a manifold of photographic information! Honestly, it really woke me up and got my mind back into the 'uni' mindset (we'd just had a two week break). So, Dan opened the class with a presentation titled Photography Basics. Firstly, we delved into the functions and capabilities of the view finder camera, SLR and DSLR's. Continue reading

Neck Surgery Neck Surgery is a surgical specialty providing services to pediatric, adult and geriatric populations. There may be different types of neck surgery but the location of the point of access can only be decided by the surgical team. When neck surgery is performed through the front of the neck, it is said to be anterior access but when the spinal condition is reached from the back, it is known as posterior access.Also, the choice of the access point depends on the location of the nerve compression which causes chronic pain or other types of symptoms. Traditional neck surgery may be of different forms like facectomy which involves partial removal of the joints where the vertebrae meet, laminectomy which involves removal of the bony plate that forms the back of the vertebrae arch, laminoplasty or reshaping the lamina to allow more space for nerve roots, discectomy which involves removal of an intervertebral disc, usually in cases of generative disc disease and corpetomy which involves removal of the entire vertebral body followed by replacement with metal or plastic hardware and also intervertebral body fusion using bone graft material. Then there are minimally invasive procedures using gentle, endoscopic techniques in order to avoid the highly invasive types of neck surgery. Services provided by a Neck Surgeon A good and reputed Neck Surgeon can always provide you specialized neck treatments for various types of neck problems. Before treating his patient, he performs various tests in order to detect his actual problems and then decides whether a neck surgery should be appropriate for him.

ABC Beauty Tricks and Treats!
Morning Makeup….easy as 1-2-3
The kind of customers hair stylists love
Have you ever watched the Bravo channel's reality series, Tabatha's Salon Takeover"? I watched it for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I only intended to watch it for a couple of minutes. But after the first minute or so, I found myself sucked into the program. Tabatha is a no-holds barred, abrasive and brutally honest salon consultant who's sole purpose is to whip salons into shape across the country. She identifies bad behaviors that lead to poor customer service and financial missteps. Some of the things she corrects are common sense: loud conversations between stylists, eating on the floor and unprofessional customer interactions.
It is easy to identify bad service, especially when it comes to hair salons. We don't need a professional to do that. But what about when the spotlight turns on us? What are some of things we do, as customers, that make us less than desirable to serve?
One of the things I've noticed is how many customers talk on the phone, text or surf the internet while in their stylists' chair. Their heads are tilted and they are clearly distracted. I don't know about you. But if my stylist has a pair of scissors in her hand, the last thing I would be doing is talking on the phone. If you give your stylist your full and undivided attention, it will be the best thing for the both of you. Trust me!
Another thing is being on time. If you respect your stylist time by being punctual, more than likely he or she will respect your time. Showing up more than 15 minutes late to your appointment not only affects your time with your stylist but it also impacts the rest of their day.
Set realistic expectations. If you haven't had a trim in a year and a half, don't get upset when your stylist says you need a trim. Having pictures and photos are a good guide but make sure the person in the picture has a similar facial structure and shape. Your hair stylist may be able to work magic but not miracles!

How to avoid a hair-do horror story
So, you've found a new hair stylist and you are headed to your first hair appointment. Lots of emotions and questions are probably swirling through your head right now. Will he or she chop off all your hair? Will you come out looking like something straight from a 1980's teeny bop flick? Will your hair color look white instead of blond? Well, have you done your homework yet? Have you done the necessary due diligence beforehand to find out the necessary information? Here are some key questions and clues you should look for in your new hair stylist:
Most importantly, what does your stylist's hair look like? This is CLUE #1! Does he or she take time and care in their appearance? If they care what they look like, more than likely they will care what YOU look like.
How long has the hair stylist in question been doing hair? I like to think anything over three or five years would be a safe bet.
Do they ask questions about what's important to you? Are they concerned about hair care or just getting you out the door as quickly as possible?
Is their shop clean and organized? Is their waiting area full?
What is his/her chairside manner? Do your personalities click? Do they seem patient or tired and overworked?
Although this is not an exhaustive list, this will at least get you started in the right direction.
Pamper Wisely,
The BusyBella

Joytoken states that they are an infrastructure protocol for the gaming industry.
So what exactly does that mean? Well, let's look at the current system of the gaming industry and then we'll look at how Joytoken will be improving it.
The current paradigm of the Gaming Industry
Developing games is already challenging. Catering specifically towards the gambling industry? That process can be even tougher. Why? Well, the system that one has to crack into is quite stringent.
The producer has to figure out how to structure their games to be able to capture revenues that are typically low, watch their costs of development, all while making sure to stay in line with regulations.
Accounting for all of these factors can be complicated as there are various hassles that one has to push through to completion of the final product.
Large Game developers typically utilize their vast human capital of game development teams to create and deploy games, usually only using very few independent game developers. This places the independent developers in a predicament, they either join a large corporation or be left to fend for scraps. This leads to a potential lack of joy for the independent developer and the end user, the gamers, because they might be deprived of exciting games due to the independent developer having a lack of resources to create and distribute their games.
End users might not be able to gain the full experience that can be provided through the casino gaming ecosystem.
The current paradigm excludes pockets of demographics (like millennials) from the marketplace due to a variety of reasons. Thus, presently, there isn't a full reach or penetration into the casino gaming marketplace.
Younger millennial demographics seek a superior casino gaming experience and are typically provided with average or sub-par ones.
Joytoken Paradigm Shift
Joytoken is seeking to address all of these present issues in the gaming industry.
First, they are looking to introduce smarter games for smarter players. They will deliver smarter casino games to existing and future players by empowering innovative and creative game developers and providing them with access to operators in a packaged solution.
They are aiming to do this in four ways:
- Game integration and hosting will be made simple with their own tried and tested game development system.
- Payments go straight to developers' bank accounts in the form of JoyTokens.
- All relevant regulatory and compliance requirements will be taken care by JoyTokens.
- Instant access to market via their online casino site; PlayCosmo Casino which is licensed in the UK, Malta, and Curacao and allows developers to test their games before general release to other operator's casino websites.
Joytoken will assist in every step of the way for the creator, thus streamlining the experience of the creators and providing more exciting end products for the gaming enthusiast.
Joytoken wants to utilize their tokens in their solution by providing the token as the exchange of payments from the gamers to developers
The tokens will allow gamers to enjoy the aspect of trust, anonymity and total transparency via the utilization of the blockchain technology.
Reasons to Invest
JoyTokens token sales follow best practices; this includes strict KYC/AML Standards following Isle of Man Laws, multi sig wallet of which two keys are held by independent corporate services and legal firm, a foundation that issues out token funds in timed periods, founder tokens are vested over a two year period.
Unique Proposition & Size of Market- The global online gambling market is around 50 billion dollars, and our decentralized ecosystem of developers, players, operators, and regulators will lead this market for years to come.
Operational platform – Starting in January 2018, JoyTokens can be utilized for gaming purposes.
Joytoken Team
The team has a breadth of knowledge in their various expertizes, serving in the gaming and retail sectors and with companies like Sony and more, the team could have what it takes to bring their vision into fruition.

The challenge for ferocious readers as well as reluctant readers is to keep challenging them with well written books they love that are not too emotionally mature. My daughter may have loved reading Jane Austen at 10 years old but Thomas Hardy deals with subjects I didn't want to have to discuss at that point.
As a result I have come to love book lists. Here are some links to lists that I have used for years to get ideas.
Booker Prize (these are all adult titles- use with great caution)
Carol Joy Seid- Her seminars are well worth going to just for the wonderful book lists she has. My son would never have discovered the history books written by Marrin if I had not attended her seminar.

If anyone knows of more links I'd love for you to share!

10 Foods To Improve Your Haemoglobin Level
The haemoglobin level in your blood must be maintained in the right level, so that you will have a healthy body condition. Just in case you do not know, haemoglobin is a very significant component of the blood that without it, your own body is not capable of distributing oxygen towards the other organs of your body, especially the lungs. The problem now is, there are so many people in the world these days who have lower haemoglobin level, making them prone to a number of minor and serious illnesses. In relation to this, here are the 10 foods to improve your haemoglobin level:
10. Pomegranate
Pomegranate is not one of the typical fruits that are displayed on the dining table of many families in the world. Even so, it cannot be denied that there are lots of people of all ages who enjoy much consuming such fruit. Such fruit is capable enough in providing more iron in your blood, lessening the chances of lower haemoglobin level.
9. Date Palm
Date Palm is one kind of fruit, which is commonly called date. Some people prefer eating the dried dates. But whether you want to eat the dried or the undried date, one thing is for sure and this is the fact that it's full of iron and some other nutrients like Vitamin A, potassium, magnesium, and Vitamin B.
8. Beetroot
The beetroot is actually the root part of a certain plant known as beet plant. It's a great source of iron that can help prevent haemoglobin level from lowering. There is around 1.1 mg of iron that is contained in a cup of sliced beetroot. It can be prepared in any way like salad or juice.
7. Watermelon
Who would love eating watermelon by the way? It is perfect during hotter days since it is a thirst-quenching kind of fruit. Such fruit is very high in nutrients that it can greatly help those pregnant women in increasing their haemoglobin level.
6. Red Meat
Red meat is another food that can help maintain the right level of your haemoglobin. It is simply because it is rich in heme iron. Heme iron is a kind of iron that's well-absorbed. The intestine can easily absorb it, making the nutrient works faster. However, it should be consumed in the right amount since overconsumption of red meat may lead to cardiovascular diseases.

Wash Up and Eat Properly
Rumor has it that some of EA's past games were marked on budgets equal to the amount actually spent making the game. In other words, they could have reduced the development costs of certain games by nearly 50 percent simply by dumping all the thirty second advertisements in lieu of sending some free copies out to Youtubers and Twitch streamers. It seems silly to do otherwise considering word of mouth has, for a long time, carried more weight than simple product placement. Visceral Studio, the now defunct makers of the Dead Space series, was based out of San Francisco...one of the most expensive cities in the world. When you look at companies like IBM, they have all but deserted their corporate offices in large part because it's no longer necessary to have everyone under the same roof. A variety of video games, including Kerbal Space Program as well as Ori and the Blind Forest, were made by a team scattered across the globe that coordinated their development efforts via the internet. This sort of dispersed workforce brings up the question of executive supervision. Former EA employees have gone on record saying that the company has a nontrivial number of people who get paid a lot to do very little. Reducing wasteful administrative spending though is only one part of the problem when it comes to leadership.
This brings me to my final point which is trend chasing. As far as I know nobody has gotten rich making Minecraft clones or Clash of Clans copycats. Worse still are flash-in-the-pan hits like Angry Birds and Farmville. Real success comes from franchises like the Soulsborne series...which, I should stress, wasn't an instant hit; Before Demon's Souls there was King's Field and before Command and Conquer there was Dune II: Battle for Arrakis. It takes time, money, effort and a few iterations on an idea to cultivate something that is both innovative and entertaining. Hitting paydirt straight out of the gate is exceedingly rare and in most cases fleeting.
Of course most businesses only see the future in terms of next quarter profits, and as such often screw themselves when it comes to sustainable profits. They can scoop whales and dolphins out of the water for awhile, but how long until that well runs dry? More importantly, where's the respect for the craft? I'm not going to climb on my high horse and claim video games are art, but at the very least they are supposed to be for the express purposes of entertaining the people who buy them...not to abuse and exploit. This is rapidly degrading into a rant so I'll wrap it up by simply saying developer harassment and death threats are not acceptable, but publishers and shareholders that push this kind of garbage need to engage in some serious introspection rather than dumping their problems on enthusiasts of the hobby.

I want to use PHP's SHA1 function to generate a list of hash/Base64 outputs from a single string.
For example, if I have a string, "ABCDE"
Then I want to generate 5 outputs like:
echo sha1('ABCDE');
echo sha1('BCDE');
echo sha1('CDE');
echo sha1('DE');
echo sha1('E');
And the number of outputs will match the length of the string. How would I accomplish this?
$s = 'ABCDE';
$t = strlen($s);
for ($i = 1; $i <= $t; $i++) {
echo sha1($s);
echo '</br>';
$s = substr($s, 1);
I use a for loop but you can use
while too. I don't know how to.
It was annoying me, this is the easiest by far.
$str = 'ABCDE';
while (strlen($str)) {
echo sha1($str);
$str = substr($str, 1);

Poets claim that we recapture for a moment the self that we were long ago when we enter some house or garden in which we used to live in our youth. But these are most hazardous pilgrimages, which end as often in disappointment as in success. It is in ourselves that we should rather seek to find those fixed places, contemporaneous with different years. And great fatigue followed by a good night's rest can to a certain extent help us to do so. For in order to make us descend into the most subterranean galleries of sleep, where no reflexion from overnight, no gleam of memory comes to light up the interior monologue if the latter does not itself cease fatigue followed by rest will so thoroughly turn over the soil and penetrate the bedrock of our bodies that we discover down there, where our muscles plunge and twist in their ramifications and breathe in new life, the garden where we played in our childhood. There is no need to travel in order to see it again; we must dig down inwardly to discover it. What once covered the earth is no longer above but beneath it; a mere excursion does not suffice for a visit to the dead city: excavation is necessary also. But we shall see how certain fugitive and fortuitous impressions carry us back even more effectively to the past, with a more delicate precision, with a more light-winged, more immaterial, more headlong, more unerring, more immortal flight, than these organic dislocations.
(Marcel Proust, In Search Of Lost Time, Vol. III, pp. 115-6.)

What You Need to Know about Google's Flutter?
Flutter has created a lot of buzz in recent times given that it has been released by Google and it is a toolkit that helps with native development in both iOS and Android! Since it is open source, there is a lot of developer interest in it and given its high-speed programming capability, it has become an instant hit with people involved in both iOS and android application development. Given that it is still in its nascent stages, the fact that Flutter is so popular and is being heavily used is testament to its capabilities and it is poised as a direct competitor to React Native.
Flexibility, support for both Android and iOS, native ARM code, portable GPU, insertion into WebView, support for an extensive list of IDEs, hot reload, app localization – these are some of the features of Flutter that make it a strong contender to React Native. Code reusability, embedding options and the support from Google's Firebase are additional points in favour of this powerful SDK.
Let's take a brief look at Flutter and why it has created a lot of interest among the developer community in this blog.
#1: Rapid Development
This is the major attraction of Flutter apart from the fact that it caters to both Android and iOS development. Android and iOS developers are flocking to Flutter for its rich UI, easy building capability and customizable widgets. In fact, building a native API in such quick time with rich features and with quick reload is Flutter's USP. Not only that, Flutter helps you build a modern and reactive UI framework which help you do away with the typical UI annoyances. It is easy to build a feature rich and animated UI with Flutter without much ado.
#2: UI Flexibility
Flutter comes with rich customization scope and such UI flexibility and feature rich SDKs are always a hit with Android and iOS developers. With Flutter, one can develop apps that have seamless UIs and are responsive. Material design can be used in both android application development and iOS and Cupertino is available specifically for iOS apps. With Flutter, you can get a feature rich UI with minimal coding, less time and ensure that navigation and user experience are pretty good too. Now, isn't that something you would like when developing your app?
#3: Easier cross platform app development
We've been raving about how Flutter facilitates easy and quick development and how it can be used for developing both iOS and android application development. This also means that it is easier to go ahead with cross platform app development with the SDK. Also, you can reuse existing code from your Java, Objective C and Swift codes and make use of the native features of Android and iOS as well. The learning curve for Flutter is soft and thus it is easy for Android and iOS developers to ramp up application development with Flutter.
#4: High Quality and performance
Given the feature rich UI that one can build with Flutter, it is no surprise that the user experience is unparalleled with apps built using the SDK. Flutter enables a GPU renderer with a native ARM code capability which ensures that the user experience is great and that the app is very fast. Flutter comes with a hot reload feature which enables quick building and easier bug fixing. This ensures better quality with easier debugging and building.
Given all these rich features, it is no wonder that Flutter has become so popular within no time! If you are an Android or iOS developer, you must be raring to dive into this feature SDK and begin your app development. Quick development, ease of coding, better performance and cross platform capability – what is not there to like in Flutter?

When a terrorist attack occurs in a major urban area (as just happened in Boston) it's a message to some that we're better off living far from densely populated regions.
After all, terrorists seek out this population density to foment the maximum amount of mayhem and destruction. It's also a reminder that cities can be dangerously violent and crime-ridden even without the thoughtful assistance of international or domestic terrorists.
But there's a good reason why people are attracted to cities to begin with—and why urban areas are growing faster than ever. Densely populated regions—like Boston and Cambridge—are centers of creative enterprise. The sheer concentration of human capital in these geographies enables productivity and economic success. That's why denser populations pay higher wages. No wonder three quarters of the world's population now live in metropolitan areas. Worldwide surveys even show that people are happiest in the most urban of countries.
But what about the crime, disease, and congestion that result from such a concentration of humanity? Well, as long as cities remain as popular as they are, they will attract the rural poor and foreign immigrants seeking a path of advancement—which predictably creates extreme income inequality in close quarters and, with it, considerable human suffering. Life can be unspeakably cruel for the urban poor, but as Edward Glaeser points out in The Triumph of the City, "Urban poverty should not be judged relative to urban wealth but relative to rural poverty." (Ask the Chinese about that.) For most people, rich as well as poor, the benefits of living so close to other people outweigh the costs.
The top rock artists—knowingly or unknowingly—are walking billboards for the success of cities. Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Beatles, Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Who, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Grateful Dead, Elton John, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Ramones, Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, U2, Green Day, Nirvana—and dozens more—ALL emerged from major metropolitan areas—not to mention the R&B and soul greats like Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Otis Redding. Not all of these musical artists were born in cities, but their talent was forged in the artistic and cultural melting pots of places like London, New York, Detroit, and L.A. Talent attracts talent. People get creative by being around other creative people. Human density is messy, but artistic and commercial progress depends on it.
What about the environmental effects of city living? Paradoxically, concentrations of people actually make cities greener. As urbanist Richard Florida says,
"Ecologists have found that by concentrating their populations in smaller areas, cities and metros decrease human encroachment on natural habitats. Denser settlement patterns yield energy savings; apartment buildings, for example, are more efficient to heat and cool than detached suburban houses. Urban households emit less carbon dioxide than their suburban and rural counterparts … Emissions are reduced as metros become larger. In other words, increasing metropolitan output is associated with decreasing emissions."
