Technical Paper
Evaluation of Cold Start Technologies on a 3L Diesel Engine
Increasingly stringent emissions regulations require that modern diesel aftertreatment systems must warm up and begin controlling emissions shortly after startup. While several new aftertreatment technologies have been introduced that focus on lowering the aftertreatment activation temperature, the engine system still needs to provide thermal energy to the exhaust for cold start. A study was conducted to evaluate several engine technologies that focus on improving the thermal energy that the engine system provides to the aftertreatment system while minimizing the impact on fuel economy and emissions. Studies were conducted on a modern common rail 3L diesel engine with a custom dual loop EGR system. The engine was calibrated for low engine-out NOx using various combustion strategies depending on the speed/load operating condition.

"Patto" Album Reviews
New Musical Express,
January 9, 1971
PATTO (Vertigo, 6360016, 42s 6d). Mike Patto looks after the rather tuneless, forlorn and yet appealing vocals, backed by the intense guitar playing of Olly Halsall, who also contributes vibes and piano, while John Halsey and Clive Griffiths stick to drums and bass respectively. A modest outing, on eight group-written tracks. Muff Winwood produces.
New Haven Rock Press, Spring 1971 by Jon Tiven
PATTO (Vertigo VEL-1001)
This is one of my favorite new bands, with one hell of an album. No familiar names here, but Mike Patto's vocals are just great and powerful, John Halsey is certainly one of the top 5 drummers in the world, Olly Halsall is among the most interesting guitarists around (not to mention damn good on vibes), and the bass playing of Clive Griffiths is excellent.
And the most amazing thing…they work together flawlessly, as the foremost jazzrock (in a real, non-superfluous sense of the term) band. They are a band, not just a bunch of good musicians. And they write diverse and intriguing songs. Too bad the songs on side one aren't better (side two is tremendous), it weakens the lp a lot. (*** ½)

Rewarding small companies can quickly go out of business if they lack cash. Likewise, unprofitable unprof small businesses can be kept afloat for a long time if they have a good cash balance. In other words, cash is the life blood of American small businesses.
Small Business Loans in Port Hueneme, California
Naturally, when times are tough, failure to acquire capital to pay day-to-day business expenses frequently becomes a source of concern, anxiety and diversion for small business owners.
In these cases, lots of small business owners consider looking for short-term funding.
Small Business Loans in Port Hueneme, California
Sadly, most of huge city and village standard lending institutions have rigid and stringent requirements that their customers need to satisfy.
Because of this, there is 4 particular features that are demanded by those looking for organisation funding.
Easy credit approval:
Services have a separate credit rating from the business owner. Even if the business owner has a high credit history, the business may not have a recognized credit history (particularly if freshly established). For that reason, potential loan providers have to provide services with that take business owner's individual credit into consideration which accepts applicants with less than best credit.
Quick Financing Time:
Normally, when an organisation is seeking out a loan, they have operating costs that they need to have the ability to pay within the next 7-14 days (such as payroll and suppliers). As such, loans that take weeks to be approved and financial resources simply aren't ideal to most companies needs
No Red Tape:
Lots of standard lenders needs months of bank declarations and years of tax returns to be able to process a loan application. While this might not be a big deal to a well-established business, it's not very helpful for a new business that has beened around for six months to a year
Small Company Friendly:
Usually, traditional lenders just service businesses doing 20k or more in monthly earnings. This disqualifies smaller sized organisations doing 10k-15k in monthly profits.
Because of the strict previously mentioned qualification criteria imposed by conventional lenders, increasingly more business owners are turning to the myriad of online lending solutions now readily available to small business owners in Port Hueneme, California

I have two tables,
Lpn and
Uld that will relate on one column, that is,
To give some background on the issue
Lpn is a label that is assigned to one or more pieces of freight in a warehouse. A
Uld is a pallet that the freight is built on so that it can go on an airplane. Every
Uld has a unique identifier on it, consisting of a 3 letter type, 5 digit serial number, and 2 letter suffix that indicates the owner of the pallet. A
Uld can come through a warehouse multiple times, and each time would have different
Lpns (freight) on it.
To ask about the database
Lpn row will only relate to one
Uld row, and a
Uld row may relate to multiple
Lpn rows. The issue comes along is that
UldNo cannot be the sole PRIMARY KEY (PK) for
Uld because a
Uld may be reused later (with different
Lpns), so I created a PK of
ID. If I try to create the relationship, I get an error because
UldNo is not a PK. From everything I've learned, composite keys should be avoided. Is it correct to use a composite key in this situation? And if so, do I need to create the
ID column in the
Lpn table to create the relationship?
The following assumptions are correct:
- On each flight, multiple pallets are transported.
- Each pallet contains multiple LPNs (labels)
- Pallets get reused.
- LPNs (labels) are NOT reused.
The DBMS I'm using is SQL Server 2016 Express.

LINCOLN, N.H. (AP) New Hampshire Fish and Game says rescue crews carried an injured hiker down the Lonesome Lake Trail in Lincoln to safety.
Authorities say 19-year-old Yasibelle Quinonez, of North Attleboro, Massachusetts, was hiking with friends Tuesday when she fell and injured her leg.
Quinonez was unable to continue and someone in her group called for help at around 9 p.m.
Rescuers from the Pemigewasset Valley Search and Rescue Team and conservation officers from Fish and Game used a litter to carry her to a waiting ambulance.

World stocks rally, dollar up to two-month high against yen
Focus also turned to Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen's semi-annual testimony on monetary policy and a meeting of Canada's central bank on Wednesday for the latest signals on policy from major central banks.
For now, unease about an end to an era of ultra-cheap money has given way to optimism about global growth, with Friday's stronger-than-expected U.S. non-farm payrolls report bolstering risk appetite. Data on Monday showed exports from Germany, Europe's biggest economy, rose more than expected in May.
The pan-European STOXX 600 rallied 0.4 percent, with banks and utilities the strongest sectors. Blue-chip stock markets in London .FTSE, Paris .FCHI and Frankfurt .GDAXI climbed 0.2 to 0.5 percent. [.EU]
They followed gains in Asia, where MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS rose 0.3 percent and Japan's Nikkei .N225 gained 0.8 percent to a one-week high, helped by weakness in the Japanese currency.
MSCI's emerging markets benchmark .MSCIEF posted its best day in two weeks. U.S. stock futures ESc1 1YMc1 were largely flat after strong gains on Wall Street on Friday.
"Stocks have opened higher at the start of this week, the dollar continues to bask in the glory of the stronger-than- expected non-farm payrolls data, and U.S. bond yields are approaching the key 2.4 percent level," said Kathleen Brooks, research director with City Index in London.
"This week is shaping up to be a critical one for data releases, central bank speak and earnings releases, and it could all add up to an important director of asset prices throughout the summer months."
The dollar rose almost 0.4 percent to 114.29 yen JPY=D4, a two-month peak, while the dollar index – which measures the dollar's value against a basket of other major currencies – was a touch firmer at 96.142 .DXY. The euro was softer at $1.1388 EUR=.
Oil prices declined, extending losses at the end of last week on the back of high drilling activity in the United States and ample supplies from OPEC and non-OPEC nations.
Brent crude futures LCOc1, the international benchmark for oil prices, were at $46.27 per barrel, down 50 cents, or around 1 percent, from their last close.
A generally more hawkish tone from the European Central Bank, Bank of England and Bank of Canada in the past two weeks have boosted market expectations that central bank policy is at a turning point. The U.S. Federal Reserve has lifted rates twice this year and is seen tightening again by the end of the year.
The Bank of Japan on Monday offered its most optimistic view of the country's regional economies in more than a decade on solid exports and private consumption, underscoring its conviction a steady recovery is gathering momentum.
But BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda reiterated his resolve to maintain ultra-loose monetary policy until inflation is stably above its 2 percent target.
"Unlike in recent years, where there was very patchy growth across the world, we are seeing a synchronized upswing in the global economy," said Alex Dryden, global market strategist at JP Morgan Asset Management.
"So while it may not be coordinated communication, I do think there's been a change in rhetoric from central banks across the world — though the ECB is the central bank to watch in the second half of the year."
The brighter economic outlook and expectations for tighter monetary policies pushed gold prices to their lowest since mid-March at $1,204.45 an ounce XAU=.
Markets expect the Bank of Canada to raise interest rates on Wednesday. Such a move would be its first increase in nearly seven years.
The Group of 20 meeting in Hamburg over the weekend did not have much impact on markets on Monday. –Reuters

This Saturday, the lights will go out at the B.C. legislature as the provincial government does its part to conserve power for Earth Hour 2010, Premier Gordon Campbell announced today.
"Turning our lights off for Earth Hour is a great way for everyone to show support for the fight against climate change," said Premier Campbell. "We all have a part in ensuring that we leave a legacy of sustainability to our children and grandchildren. Earth Hour is a great example of a single idea can grow and inspire people everywhere to take uncomplicated action that can make a difference."
"B.C. saw climate change as the issue of our generation early on so we're already taking aggressive action through a number of policies from the revenue-neutral carbon tax to our commitment to be carbon neutral in 2010," said John Yap, Minister of State for Climate Action. "Conserving power is one of the easiest things we can do and each year Earth Hour reminds us that we need to think of conservation first and foremost."
Millions of people, governments at all levels, businesses and organizations across the world will join together to conserve power by turning off the lights. This year, on Saturday, March 27 at 8:30 pm you can be a part of the solution simply by flipping off your lights for 60 minutes.
"I'm proud that the Province will also participate in Earth Hour, with all government buildings – including the B.C. legislature – turning off all non-essential lights," said Citizens' Services Minister Ben Stewart, whose responsibilities include government facilities. "I encourage public service employees to think about ways they can reduce their energy consumption as government works toward the goal of becoming a greener public service."
Earth Hour originated in Sydney, Australia in 2007 and since that time it has grown in popularity. In 2009, hundreds of millions of people in some 4,000 cities in close to 90 countries literally "turned off their lights."

Difference Between DBMS vs RDBMS
Both DBMS (Database Management System) and RDMS (Relational Database Management System) are using for storing any kind of data either for future use or maintaining and displaying day by day transactions to the end-user or accountant. In DBMS, we can keep the same as a file or in tabular format, there may have some relation or not, nothing is properly guaranteed. But in RDBMS, data has been stored always as a tabular format, and all those tables always maintain the proper relationship which help developer to support end business properly. RDBMS can be considered as a proper extension of DBMS, whereas they have a lot of differences in considering their characteristics or way to store data in a database. If the business needs to store data as a hierarchical form or expecting in the proper navigational form then data can be easily stored as DBMS or in a plain database system. And if business needs to manage all the data, presenting those data in various format or in various places, identifying all the huge transactional data based on varieties categories, then it always be a good solution to store data as RDBMS format, where all those data stored in tabular format, which always help for fetching and displaying quickly and easily.
Head to Head Comparison between DBMS vs RDBMS (Infographics)
Below is the top 4 difference between DBMS vs RDBMS :
Key Difference between DBMS vs RDBMS
Both DBMS vs RDBMS are popular choices in the market; let us discuss some of the major Difference Between DBMS and RDBMS :
- Any DBMS application always trying to store data as a file. It can be considered for any kind of file system using for a different operating system where everything store as a different node for verities approach or like XML file where data has been stored as XML. Whereas any RDBMS application stored data as tabular form, whatever data will come it can be easily storable in a specific table which maintaining proper primary or foreign key relationship. Every transactional data can be inserted smoothly in tabular format by easily avoid any duplicity constant.
- All the DBMS application following to store data in a hierarchical or navigational form which help of identifying those files or data properly especially in case of a file system or XML structure in any known operating system. And all the RDBMS application stored data in tabular format, always be having a specific identifier as primary key which restricts duplicate entries anytime on a specific table. Data always stored with one unique identifier and maintained a proper relationship with other tables.
- Conceptually DBMS not following normalization approach means DBMS can have redundancy of data, don't have any proper validation or restriction on some specific characteristics of database like insert, update or delete, don't following any specific approach for avoiding duplicate data. Whereas RDBMS is always following normalization common approach, as it always stored data in tabular format with a unique identifier like primary key, which automatically ensures avoiding duplicate data entries, also managing redundancy of data very smartly by maintaining a proper relationship between multiple tables. So same kind of repetitive data like master data can be stored one time but utilize on several requirements.
- DBMS application never ensures any specific security approach on data especially at the time of data manipulation. As data manipulation is one of the critical tasks for any database, we have to ensure some security on the same, as DBMS hold data as a file, so modifying data is difficult. But in case of RDMS, security of data always ensure, as RDMS always maintained proper integrity constraint for following RDBMS common characteristics which is popular as ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability ) properties.
- Any DBMS application stored data in form as a file. So it is unable to maintain any relationship in between any data of a file. So redundancy of data is always increasing in case of DBMS application. Whereas RDBMS data stored as table format, so easily maintained the proper relationship of data and tables, which helps to handle a large amount of data and easily supports multiple users.
DBMS vs RDBMS Comparison Table
Below is the topmost Comparison between DBMS vs RDBMS
|The basis Of Comparison Between DBMS vs RDBMS
|DBMS is considering as plain database management system for storing data. It normally storing data as a file. But please note, it can be store data in tabular format as well.
|RDMS is considering advance or relational database management system. It can assume one extension of DBMS. It stored data as a tabular format with a proper expected relationship. RDBMS is using by all the big global client.
|As per Normalization definition, the main approach to remove redundancy or duplicate data from the database table, data can be stored securely. So automatically DBMS not going to support this basic approach.
|RDBMS always following table definition approach which helps to remove redundancy or duplicity of data or table which one of the main characteristics of Normalization in a database. So RDBMS supports Normalization approach.
|DBMS does not follow any proper security of data as it looks like a very plain database.
|RDBMS always ensure proper security of data, maintaining required integrity constraint which supports ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, and Durability) property in a proper manner.
|DBMS example is very less, as it is normal considering as a simple database, but still, file system, XML etc are can be an example of DBMS.
|Every popular database is actually following RDBMS structure. Oracle, MySQL, Postgre, SQL Server, IBM DB2 etc.
Conclusion – DBMS vs RDBMS
Based on the above explanation, it clearly concludes that RDBMS is purely an extension of DBMS. In a current popular market, all the database related software holding both DBMS vs RDBMS in the same schema. So all those software are easily compatible with both DBMS vs RDBMS. So if today we prepare one RDBMS application then we can easily mention that it is a DBMS application, the same thing we can convey for DBMS as well means vice versa. Digital data is one of the key information in the current electronic media platform for any kind of business, solution or services. Storing data can be done in varieties way, maintaining the same based on the approach preferable on fetching of that data from various resources. An understanding of proper business requirements is very much urgent for deciding how those data can be kept in a database.

To Those Who Are Ready To Seek The Truth
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. Romans 1:18-20 To those of you who read this who do not belong to Jesus, I ask you to consider some things. Do you see yourself as a good person? If so, have you ever broken any of God's laws? Have you ever lied, or stolen, or lusted after someone? God is a righteous judge, but if you admit to your sin then what can be done to make things right between you and Him? God showed love and mercy by sending His Son Jesus to suffer the punishment for sins on a cross. You've probably heard John 3:16 before about that. Jesus was perfect, but He died for sins He never committed. He died for the punishment of your sin if you will turn from your sin and believe and receive Him. He is the Lord, and if you decide to live life your way and turn and continue in disobedience then you will end up in an eternity of Hell. I so long for you to come to know the Lord and be made clean and forgiven from sin and to know peace and have a right relationship with Him. You can know His love and not His wrath if you belong to Him. Please? Here is an audio clip if you are willing to listen to someone else answer the question, "Why Should I Believe In Jesus Christ?" Why should I believe in Jesus Christ?

Let's face it. That beginning-of-year excitement doesn't last very long. Despite all of our best intentions, despite the new books and materials, several weeks into it and we begin to lose our momentum.
That's because it's human nature.
However, here are concrete things you can do to keep that pendulum swinging, and I share them on Christian Homeschool Moms blog.

How essential can an affordable domain name be?
One of the most crucial prerequisites for creating a successful Internet presence is the domain name. It is what people will note first when they stumble upon your web page and what they will identify you with. The domain should be easy to remember, but should also be something that tells your website's visitors what the web site is about.
Generic Top-Level Domain Names (gTLDs)
A domain name typically has 2 fragments - a Top-Level Domain (TLD) and a Second-Level Domain (SLD). If you have domain.com, for instance, ".com" is the Top-Level Domain Name and "domain" is the SLD. There are a few categories of Top-Level Domain Names that you should consider prior to picking the domain you want. Your decision should depend on the goal of your web site and on its target audience. Let's examine the gTLDs, or generic Top-Level Domains - these are the most common TLDs intended to designate a specific function - .com (business establishments), .net (network infrastructures), .biz (businesses), .info (informational websites), .org (non-profit organizations), .mobi (handheld devices), .asia (the Asia Pacific region), .name (persons or families), .pro (qualified professionals), and so on. As you can see, these TLDs cover most fields of life, so you should pick the one that would denote the intention of your website best. There is no restriction as to who can register such domain names, but some of them involve extra procedures to prove that you qualify to register such a domain name (.mobi and .pro, for example).
Country-code Top-Level Domain Names (ccTLDs)
The ccTLDs, or country-code Top-Level Domain Names, are country-specific Top-Level Domains. Each country has its own ccTLD. Settling on such a domain is good if your target group of web site visitors is from a certain country. Many guys would prefer to buy commodities or services from a local web site, and if your goal is Canada, for example, registering a .ca domain could boost the visits to your site.
Domain Redirection
You can register a number of domain names, which can redirect your web page's visitors to a specific site like domain.com, for example. This would raise the traffic and decrease the risk of somebody snatching your web page visitors by using the same Second-Level Domain Name with a different Top-Level Domain - if you are not utilizing a trademark.
Name Servers (NSs)
Each Top-Level Domain has domain records. The name server records (NS records, also known as DNS records) disclose where the domain name is hosted, in other words they point to the web hosting company whose name servers (NSs, aka DNSs) it is utilizing at the moment. You can modify the DNSs of your domain name whenever you like. You can have your domain registered with one company and get the web page hosting service itself from another. Therefore, if you register your domain and find decent website hosting solutions somewhere else later, you can point your domain to the current provider's NSs immediately.
Name Server Records (NS Records)
In general, as long as your domain name uses a certain set of name servers, all its domain records will lead to the same hosting provider. Some website hosting suppliers, however, allow you to edit given NS records, among them the A records and the MX records of your domain name. The A record is an Internet Protocol address, which displays on which web server your site is located, while the MX records demonstrate which hosting server tackles the electronic mail accounts associated with your domain name. For example, if you appoint a new web site designer and he devises an .ASP website that will be located on his private Windows web hosting server, you may desire to modify solely the Internet Protocol address (the A record) but not the MX records of your domain. Hence, www.domain.com will point to the Windows web server, but your mail accounts or any sub-domains like forum.domain.com or shop.domain.com will still be in your present Linux hosting account. The .ASP environment is invented by Microsoft and necessitates a Windows web server, even though a Linux web server would be way more secure.
Cheap Domain Names Furnished by 'NETHOST23'
Only a small number of web hosting distributors permit you to modify certain domain name records and very often this an extra paid service. With NETHOST23 , you get a wide array of Top-Level Domains to select from and you can edit all records or redirect the domains using a forwarding tool at no extra charge. Because of that, 'NETHOST23' would be your best choice when it comes to handling your domain name and to setting up a successful presence on the Internet.

14. Franklin Pierce
The Pierce Experience (August 28, 2009)
Things were looking up for Franklin Pierce in January 1853. He was a veteran of war, a veteran of Congress, and the nation had just elected him to become the youngest president in U.S. history. Sure, there were tough issues facing the country, and maybe his wife wasn't thrilled about the new job. But who wouldn't be excited?
Then his son was decapitated! The family was heading home from a funeral in Boston, and apparently they hadn't suffered enough that week, so their train car rolled down an embankment. Franklin was fine, wife Jane was fine, 11-year-old Benjamin was tragically shorter. At the Pierce Manse in Concord they say he was crushed, but if you get the good costumed docents at the Pierce Homestead in Hillsborough, they'll level with you: the kid was headless, and supposedly Franklin discovered this on picking up his body. He was the third Pierce child to die (the others were 3 days and 3 years) and the happy couple was, understandably, devastated. That's the big grain of salt that flavors everything thing you hear about Franklin Pierce, a reputed drunk and contender for Worst President Ever. Two months after that unfathomable mess he was running the country. Good luck with your first 100 days, Frank.
Superfriend Don (you get superfriend status by visiting a presidential site) and I got filled in on the Pierce saga with a day trip to New Hampshire last Friday, to see EVERYTHING there is to see about Franklin Pierce. It's the kind of trip that beer commercials are made of, in my mind, where the beers are all 48 oz., 8 percent alcohol by volume and calorie free. They're the kind of commericals that Franklin Pierce would appreciate, because he was raised in a bar!
That's the Pierce Homestead in Hillsborough, a fine tavern operated by Benjamin Pierce, a Revolutionary War hero, governor of New Hampshire, and, oh yeah, a backwoods hick. But he was a proud hick, and he instilled in his many progeny that great pride. Franklin, his brothers and sisters were raised upstairs, the boys in one room, the girls in another, and random passed-out strangers in the hall. It's a neat little tour, complete with costumed guides, and we got the deluxe treatment -- since we missed the first few minutes, we got a great docent to chat with us afterwards and give us all the horrific details. I've said it before, I'll say it again: Talk to your guides. They know the fun stuff, like decapitations and boozing and which souvenirs to buy (the Franklin Pierce bobblehead, which now sits on my entertainment center. Jealous? You know you are).
The interior isn't too elaborate (it was a bar, not a TGI Fridays) but it has lots of neat reproduction stenciling, a fancy parlor with some swank wallpaper (a la Martin Van Buren's house -- one of the other presidents raised in a tavern) and a "ballroom" a bit bigger than what you'd expect for a clapboard tavern built in New England in 1804. If you have those kinds of expectations. And if you do, seek help.
From there, young Franklin was off to Bowdoin College, where he would meet the lovely Jane. She was a daughter of the school president, much like "Animal House," but unlike "Animal House" there were only 13 students in his class and Jane was a Calvinist, so there was very little illicit sex on the football field. But as the saying goes, "opposites attract, and then get married for convenience and stay together even though the wife might drag her husband constantly down." It's so true! And he picked up a lifelong running buddy in Nathaniel Hawthorne, the eventual author of "The Scarlet Letter." Oh, the good times! It was like "Van Wilder" with more wool clothes.
Franklin became a lawyer (a good one) and from there leapt to politics (he was the New Hampshire Speaker of the House in his early 20s, even as his dad was serving as governor); he made it to Washington as a representative, then was picked as a senator. Jane hated D.C. and didn't go with him (he stayed in boarding houses), and he actually quit the senate after four years because she wanted him home more. So right around then it actually behooved them to have a home:
Behold the "Pierce Manse" of Concord, the only residence ever owned by our 14th president. It's a few blocks from its original location and a lot of the furniture has been replaced, but the walls are still dripping with ... uh, upper-middle class New Englandicity. Don and I got another private tour (no line at the Manse on a Friday! Go figure), which includes a walkthrough of a pretty average-looking residence and a few stories about the happy couple. They had some tragedy there (their 3-year-old died of illness in an upstairs bedroom) and did a little light entertaining, but mostly it seemed to be pretty humdrum. So boring, in fact, that Frank sprung into action as the Mexican-American war erupted. Defending New Hampshire from the hordes of Santa Ana was important business, so he got together a few hundred of his closest buddies and joined the Army. Back then, if you brought enough guys you were a general, and after distinguished service (he was injured falling off his horse) he came back home to the quiet of Concord.
That would have been the end of the story, but in 1852 the Democrats couldn't settle on a candidate, someone threw out Pierce's name (he was a veteran, a legislator and apparently hot) and the rest is sad, sad history. He started out his term on the verge of breakdown, and his wife went into hard-core religious mourning for more than a year; she also might have seen the accident as God's punishment for Franklin's political ambitions. That probably made for some light dinner conversation.
Plus he wasn't really cut out for the job. The guide in Hillsborough called him a "great mind, but not an introspective mind," and that seems to fit. Facing civil war, he crawled into the "state's rights" hole, pushing for states to set their own slavery policies. Mostly he just kind of spun his wheels, and after four years the party didn't bother renominating him (he's the only president with that distinction).
It got uglier. Jane was in failing health (she died in 1863), so he toured Europe with her and Hawthorne for a few years (you know the best way to cheer up your wife? Bring your best friend on vacation!). When they got back to New Hamphshire, he wasn't popular -- they take "Live Free or Die" seriously, and as he hadn't helped slaves live free, they were hoping he might die. His general loyalty to his buddies bit him in the ass: he kept up correspondence with Jefferson Davis, his former Secretary of War and now president of the Confederacy, and once word of the letters broke out he had to go on "vacation to Michigan" for a few weeks. He made public criticism of Lincoln's curtailing of civilliberties. And when Lincoln was shot, an angry mob turned up at Franklin Pierce's doorstep on the chance that he was in on the plot:
That's actually Franklin Pierce's Concord doorstep, believe it or not; the guide at the Manse clued us in. The house Franklin was renting -- the house he died in -- burned to the ground back in the early '90s, and nothing much has happened to the lot since. It's all weeds, next to a matress store. The mob showed up angry, but apparently Franklin gave an impromptu speech and they left cheering. We sadly don't have the text of this speech. It must have been awesome.
If there's a happy side to his later years, it's that Franklin Pierce could get back to his roots, by drinking alot. That's the other sticky thing about Pierce: he had a reputation as a drunk. Some of that was undoubtedly ginned up by his political opponents, but there is kernel of truth. They pussyfoot around the issue in Concord, but Hillsborough guides confirmed that he did enjoy the booze. He probably kept it in check when he was around Jane, but in Mexico, or Washington, or after she died, he partook of many adult beverages. There aren't any confirmed reports of him being a falling-down drunk, but he died of cirrhosis. You do the math.
He's buried in Concord at the Old North Cemetery, next to Jane and two of their kids. It's a simple marker, and if you have a tennis ball, you could stand at his grave and easily throw it into the in-ground pool of the private home abutting the cemetery. Quaint. He seems like an OK guy with some awful luck; in his case he just happened to be the president, too. The brass ring wasn't worth grabbing.

Mortgage Live Transfers
The mortgage industry in the US is extremely attractive right now, regularly offering 30 year fixed mortgage rates under 4% for conforming loans. The industry has left the idea of subprime mortgages behind along with a great deal of the real estate equity throughout the country. There has been a major refocus of the underwriting guidelines and lending standards adhered to by the industry.
These changes in the mortgage industry are part of what is making mortgage live transfers such a valuable tool. How it works is this: an outsourced call center receives a call and does the work of establishing the basic qualifying information for mortgage firms. It then performs a warm transfer of the call. This way, loan originators can work on extremely high quality applications and see very high conversion percentages.
A typical mortgage live transfer campaign includes a call log and recording panel so that managers can review the call. This is a great tool for sales managers, allowing them to review leads, maintain proper scripting, and give direction and reinforcement to loan originators. This type of live transfer campaign is often planned according to scheduled hours, keeping in mind time zones, states, and statistics such as leads per day. Successful mortgage firms are finding that a live transfer campaign is a perfect fit for their marketing needs.

Our family therapist is one of my very favorite people. She validates our experiences and feelings. She gives us all big ideas, little techniques, and shares wisdom and failures from her own parenting and life journey. My kiddo hugs her and considers her family. She also swears, which just makes me feel good!
This is my very best lesson from her. It's too good to keep to myself.
After there is an argument, a defiant fight that escalated, a total meltdown in public, or a scary rage at home…
Before working out the issue, problem solving, talking about the natural consequences, or any other "parenting"… reconnect. This kind of rupture makes kiddo and parent feel disconnected and on opposing sides, instead of on the same team. I should try to be the bigger, stronger, calmer adult who can first get myself calm and then soothe my kiddo. Cuddle, foot rubs, tickles, reassuring words ("I love you no matter what. I love you when you're angry, and happy, and sad, and scared.") so that my child feels that my love is not contingent.
Before anything, repair the disconnected relationship in a loving way.
If your hackles are raised ("This is rewarding "bad behavior" with something good! What on earth?!") then consider this;
Reconnecting first teaches my kiddo that I care about HER more than a single situation. And for a kid from hard places or a kid whose brain might interpret the world around them in a unique way, this is a very important feeling that must be made explicit.
Any "parenting" I try to do before calming myself and reconnecting with my kiddo will always be met with defensiveness or outright hostility because our trust and connection are weak in that moment. We work hard to teach our girl that we do not punish, BUT there are natural consequences to choices/behaviors and our job is to discipline her in a true way. Discipline meaning to teach, guide and coach. I am the guard rails, not the puppetmaster. There should always be learning when I am "parenting". Learning can't happen with a stressed, angry brain. So. Reconnect first. Give a little breathing room for the relationship to heal and grow back together. Then guide and teach from a place of love and compassion.
I realize not all family dynamics are the same. Not all parents have kids from hard places who have extra complicated emotions, needs and fears. But I have to imagine that a world of humans that always seek connection first before attempting to resolve issues/conflict/differences is a world worth pursuing. One complicated situation, in our homes that nobody ever knows about, at a time. Because we will be modeling this skill for our kids, over and over. And they will carry this vision of compassionate reparations into their lives.
And sometimes it takes being up all night to let myself feel my own feelings, feel how a situation hurt or affected me, so that I can calm myself. Be compassionate with myself. So that I can put that aside, and meet my child where she is.
