"A wave of religious fervour, independent of the established churches, swept through the country in the 1770s. Many new chapels were founded, like the one which William Bugby built in 1779 in the working-class district of Prospect Place. His son, another William, preached a stern Calvinist doctrine here. Other Epsom seekers crowded around William Huntington SS of West Ewell. When they asked what the initials stood for, he answered 'Sinner Saved'"
"persuaded to hear one of Whitefield's fiery Calvinists preach at Richmond. It happened to be one of the most intolerant of that intolerant class; a personage whose uncouth name was Toriel Joss, and who is celebrated among his brethren for what they call the holy indignation with which he opposed the proposal of an union between the Arminian and Calvinistic Methodists...
His ordination, such as it was, was performed by Toriel Joss, with the assistance of other persons equally competent to that office, Toriel declaring before the whole congregation, that William Huntington had certainly received a call from God, and that he should never be at a loss to prove it, while he was in possession of a Bible; he then told him to take his axe and go to work."
"After I had been three weeks out of employment I heard of a place at Ewell, in Surry: which I went after, and engaged in. It was with a gentleman that manufactured gunpowder. I agreed for eleven shillings per week in the summer, and ten shillings "in the winter; and procured a ready furnished room in an old thatched house on Ewell Marsh, if with propriety it might be called a furnished room, at two shillings per week. I was obliged to pawn all my best clothes in order to defray the remaining expenses which attended my wife's lying-in, owing to my being out of employment; and to hire a cart to carry my personal effects, which were but few, to Ewell. When the cart set us down on Ewell Marsh on the Monday morning, and I had paid the hire of it, I had the total sum of ten pence halfpenny left, to provide for myself, my wife, and child, till the ensuing Saturday night! But though I were thus poor, yet I knew God had made me rich in faith; and these words came on my mind with power; 'He multiplied the loaves and fishes to feed five thousand men, besides women and children. We went on our knees, and turned the account of that miracle into a prayer, beseeching the Almighty to multiply what we had, or to send relief another way, as his infinite wisdom thought most proper. The next evening my landlord's daughter and son-in-law came up to see their mother, with whom I lodged, and brought some baked meat, which they had just taken out of their oven, and brought for me and my wife to sup along with them. These poor people knew nothing of us, nor of our God. The next day in the evening they did the same; and kept sending victuals or garden stuff to us all the week long. We had not made our case known to any but God; nor did we appear ragged, or like people in want; no, we appeared better in dress than even those who relieved us: but God sent an answer to our prayer by them, who knew not at the same time what they were about; nor did I tell them till some months after. While we were at supper I entertained them with spiritual conversation. After supper I went to prayer with them, and prayed most earnestly for them. And God answered it; for he sent the woman home deeply convicted that night: nor did her convictions abate till she was brought to see Christ crucified in the open vision of gospel faith, and to receive peace and pardon from Christ for herself. Some time after this, God began to work upon the husband also; and then I related the fore-cited circumstance; at the hearing of which he told me how it was impressed on his mind that I was in want of victuals; and his wife found fault with him for thinking so, and bringing it to me, saying, 'The people are better to pass than we are'. But he contradicted her, and insisted on her doing as he desired."
"HUNTINGTON, WILLIAM, S.S. (1745-1813), eccentric preacher, natural son of Barnabas Russel, farmer, was born in a cottage at the Four Wents, on the road between Goudhurst and Cranbrook 2 Feb. 1744-5, and was baptised at Cranbrook Church in the name of his putative father, William Hunt, a labourer, on 14 Nov. 1750. After acquiring the barest rudiments of knowledge at the Cranbrook grammar school, he went into service as an errand-boy, and was afterwards successively gentleman's servant, gunmaker's apprentice, sawyer's pitman, coachman, hearse-driver, tramp, gardener, coalheaver, and popular preacher. Having seduced a young woman, the daughter of a tailor at Frittenden, Kent, he decamped on the birth of a child, and changed his name to Huntington to avoid identification (1769) [His choice may have contained an allusion to the Countess of Huntingdon - after his marriage, he referred to Mrs. Huntington as 'The Countess" and it is reported that 'he frequently, in fun, conferred on her this title, glancing of course at the Countess of Huntingdon']. He then formed a connection with a servant-girl named Mary Short, with whom he settled at Mortlake, working as a gardener. Here he suffered much from poverty, and still more from conviction of sin. After removing to Sunbury he went through the experience known as conversion, which was precipitated by a casual conversation with a strict Calvinist. Huntington, after failing to obtain satisfaction from the 'Whole Duty of Man' or the Thirty-nine Articles, discovered in the Bible to his dismay convincing proof of the doctrine of predestination. About Christmas 1773 a sudden vision of brilliant light confirmed him in his belief (cf. the detailed account in his autobiography); after praying fervently for a quarter of an hour, Christ appeared to him 'in a most glorious manner, with his body all stained with blood', and he obtained the assurance that he 'was brought under the covenant love of God's elect'. He thereupon ceased to attend the established church, and spent his Sundays in singing hymns of his own composing, in praying, and in reading and expounding the Bible to Mary Short. He afterwards joined the Calvinistic methodists of Kingston*; but soon removed to Ewell, where his preaching was unpopular, and thence to Thames Ditton, where for a time he combined preaching with coalheaving or cobbling. Subsequently he depended for his subsistence on faith. His congregations did not permit him to starve, but their supplies were irregular, and Huntington was often in great distress. He regarded every windfall, however trifling, as a miraculous interposition of God. His curious work, 'God the Guardian of the Poor and the Bank of Faith', gives a minute account of his manner of life at this period.
By degrees he extended the sphere of his ministry, going a regular circuit between Thames Ditton, Richmond, Cobham, Worplesdon, Petworth, Horsham, and Margaret Street Chapel, London, Providence providing him with a horse, horse furniture, and riding breeches. He found wishing sometimes a more powerful engine than prayer. Anticipating that his past history would sooner or later come to light, Huntington took the precaution of confiding the affair of the girl at Frittenden to his more devoted adherents, and appended to his name the letters S.S., i.e. sinner saved**. The petty annoyance or persecution he suffered from those who resented his preaching he described in a book entitled 'The Naked Bow, or a Visible Display of the Judgments of God on the Enemies of Truth'. He there shows that various calamities which befell his enemies were divine punishments for small affronts offered to himself. In 1782, in accordance with what he regarded as a heavenly monition, he removed to London, and soon obtained sufficient credit to build himself a chapel in Titchfield Street, Oxford Market, which he christened 'Providence Chapel'. The place was consecrated in 1783, and here he officiated for more than a quarter of a century. On 13 July 1810 the chapel, which was uninsured, was burned to the ground. Huntington, however, easily raised £10,000 with which he built a larger chapel in Gray's Inn Lane, between Wilson Street and Calthorpe Street, taking care to have the freehold vested in himself. New Providence Chapel, as it was called, was opened for divine service on 20 June 1811. For the rest of his life Huntington derived a handsome income from his pew-rents and publications, had a villa at Cricklewood, and kept a carriage. He preached at his chapel until shortly before his death, which occurred at Tunbridge Wells on 1 July 1813. He was interred on 8 July in the burial-ground of Jireh Chapel, Lewes. His epitaph, composed by himself, was as follows : 'Here lies the coalheaver, who departed this life July 1st, 1813, in the 69th year of his age, beloved of his God, but abhorred of men. The omniscient Judge at the grand assize shall ratify and confirm this to the confusion of many thousands, for England and its metropolis shall know that there hath been a prophet! among them'. Mary Short died*** in Huntington's lifetime. Her death was hastened by gin and chagrin induced by a scandalous intimacy which Huntington formed about 1803 with an evangelical lady, Elizabeth, relict of Sir James Sanderson, bart, lord mayor of London in 1792. ['Rev. William Hunt Huntington of the parish of Hendon'] married this lady on 15 Aug. 1808 [by licence at St Marylebone]. By Mary Short he had thirteen children, of whom seven survived. He had none by Lady Sanderson. She survived him, dying on 9 Nov. 1817.
In person Huntington was tall and strongly built, with somewhat irregular features, a ruddy complexion, light blue eyes, and an ample forehead, partially concealed by a short black wig. His portrait by Pellegrini (æt. 58) is in the National Portrait Gallery. His manner in the pulpit was peculiar. Action he had none, except a curious trick of passing a white handkerchief to and fro. His style was colloquial and often extremely coarse, but nervous and idiomatic. His doctrine was Calvinism flavoured with antinomianism, his method of interpreting scripture wholly arbitrary. He claimed to be under the direct inspiration of God, and denounced all who differed from him as knaves, fools, or incarnate devils. He predicted the total destruction of Napoleon and his army in Egypt, and the fall of the papacy about 1870. He seldom baptised, admitted to the communion only by ticket, and discountenanced prayer-meetings."
"The Calvinistic preacher at Kingston when he heard that Huntington was beginning to set up as a teacher, gave him no encouragement to proceed; he read to him the chapter in Ezekiel about the duty of a watchman, and expatiated on the momentous responsibility of the office into which he was thrusting himself, with such force as almost frightened him out of his senses."
"From the first Mr. Townsend was opposed by the notorious Antinomian leader, William Huntington and his followers. This man (who lived in Kingston, and preached weekly at Richmond and Thames Ditton) attended the ordination, and criticised every part of the service. Mr. Townsend writes: 'Every effort was made by the party that could be devised to inculcate the whole church and congregation with their unscriptural sentiments, and with their more mischievous temper. Every new book written by their oracle, Mr.H., was circulated with the utmost avidity, and the most uncandid and illiberal construction was put on every sermon I preached; and some even of the most eminent of my hearers, in seriousness of spirit, and holiness of life, were maligned as Arminians and enemies of the Gospel'. So violent was the hostility of the party that Mr. Townsend had to appeal to the magistrates for personal protection. The end of it was that he was driven from the town, and in 1784 accepted an invitation to Jamaica Row, Bermondsey. There, too, he was assailed by the Antinomians, but eventually succeeded in inducing them to withdraw from the church."

Often we find the question about how you can positively influence our behavior in the environment; concerned about our planet and how to help reduce the main problems affecting, we decided to buy products that claim to be sustainable, that is(that is to say) which they are towards the environment but, You really are? The next time you find yourself in front of a product or food that has a label of "sustainable" product and not know if I buy it or not, cuestiónalo on some aspects.
But first we must be clear about what we talked about in our previous blog - If you have not read we recommend that you do, so that together we can better understand this topic – Sustainability is fulfilled, when a product from pre production is targeting not only as this will unfold on the planet and to be once it finishes its cycle duration, It is also concerned about the quality of life of people who make them while employment is generated.
So, how to know if we are contributing to sustainability while buy a certain item?, it is essential to look at the price, Is it accessible to all socio-economic strata? If the answer is No, better leave it there and go on your way. We can find a variety of products claiming to be created with recyclable materials, but that has to keep pace with its price, because not all sustainable products have to be expensive, but not like making a change when it can be bought for a lot of citizens; electric cars, They are a solution to the pollution problems generated by a conventional auto, but how many can afford to buy one.
Note the product labels, if too many compositions have long (foods), They are colossal (appliances or vehicles), It has a caution for toxicity (cleaning items) or bring no proof Product, es una indicación clara que aquello que pensabas comprar no es lo que aparentan y no contribuyen al medio ambiente, remember, that label startle the word "bio", "eco", "Organic" does not make them automatically sustainable. One of the signs by which we can trust when buying a product, is the absence of chemical additives in food, few ingredients in their preparation, Simplicity in design, freshness and saleability bulk.
Things we consume, we buy, items which we appropriate can be 100% sustainable, but it depends on us, use and how the handle. Our unmeasured way to buy, our performance against that product, as we get rid of the, It is what makes change.
All contribute our grain of sand, sustainable living is part of an identity we choose and decided to keep with ours and our surroundings.

The governor of Delta state, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, at the weekend disclosed that he is the only governor among his colleagues across the country who enjoys the support of his predecessors. He stated this at a thanksgiving and grand reception organised by Olorogun John Oguma, a chieftain of the PDP, in honour of Chief James Ibori at the Ibru Unity Square, Ovwor-Olomu, in the Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta state.
The governor said, "I'm the only governor who had the support of the first and second governors. That was because there was good following that has continued to beget following. I understand our leader (Ibori) because he trained us well as politicians. I have learnt the game from him so well. I am happy that we recognised our leader (Ibori) as a good man''.
Recall that the governor of Kano state, Umar Ganduje, had while disclosing what is responsible for his quarrel with the immediate past governor, Musa Kwankwaso, said, "Yes, we were very, very close, even before 1999, we have been friends… like I said, I started seeing some elements of undercuts from his body language, and then he started attacking my administration. First, even before handing-over, he said he has paid all the contractors in Kano, but the contractors went to radio stations and said he was telling lies. You could see that he was trying to heat up the system even before handing-over."
Similarly, former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi had confirmed that he has problems with his successor, Willie Obiano and has good reasons to fight him on account of the incumbent's non-performance as governor.

The other night, the kids were being very quiet. Too quiet...I went to see what they were doing and found Beau in my purse, pouring foundation all over the rocking chair. While I was cleaning that up, he got into the kitchen cabinet and started squirting Windex all over his picnic table. Once I got that cleaned up, I found him in the bathroom squeezing half a tube of toothpaste onto the counter! This was all within a 10 minute period!!!
This week celebrates "The Week of the Young Child" in Tulsa, and the school has quite a few events planned. Today, I received cute little boy-shaped pens that have pictures inside that the kids painted. They'll also have a Jupiter Jump and a parade. On Thursday I'm going to go read to each of their classes. For Luke's class, we were given a sheet of paper to fill out that said "My Child is Incredible Because...". Our reasons were:
He's a comedian!
He loves to sing!
He has a gentle, caring heart!
He's polite!
He watches over his brothers!
He makes great sound effects!
He's a wonderful storyteller!

The answer to this question is partially true because these are sometimes fixed or might be it feels like these are fixed. It is not true. If these are fixed then no one will go to casinos and in big cities, these are likely to be the main source of income. Somewhere these casinos are rigged also. Some people noted this. So better is that just be within the limits in the case of casinos. Owners who are running the Casino mean business by the casino. All they care about it is money and more customers.
The case of the rig:
Casinos are also of online types and that are more likely to be said rigged. But it's wrong it's gambling and it is based on your luck. The numbers are randomly shown. These casinos are said to be non-profits. It shows the chances for you to be safe and confident in the casino. Some individuals think that it is a kind of lottery system, but it's actually not. Casinos are used for fun and enjoyment.
Type of cheatings in casinos
It is more used in online gambling or casinos. Because now a day's many hackers are there and for them, it's very easy to cheat. The most general attempt is to seek out the very weak type of casino bonuses. But cheats like a dice roll, screening card etc. can be recognized quickly. And those who attempt this are more insulted. So the best suggestion is, those avoid cheating and play fairly. That is the main advantage also.
Online gambling
Now a day's online gambling is taking place in markets and everywhere. The players or gamblers have the ability to involve some or many people in their broad network of gambling. Today's updated and modern world we can see the gamblers are said to be the professionals. Their ability makes them going towards the top. They are known as kings of online gambling.
Risk in Gambling
Playing with real money carries more risk as it covers all your financial position also. The loss is the only beard by the disk holder. That can be causing my financial problems also so that is the headache of a player. Casino never takes care of this. This is the main problem of every individual who attempts gambling and sometimes bears a big loss that can make financial crises. So there is a lot of risks present in gambling. That's it.

17 Sep Easy Moving & Packing Tips Pt.1
Congratulations on your new home! Now you just have to figure out how you're going to pack and move your belongings without breaking the bank, your fragile items, and your back. That's why we put together this list of easy moving and packing tips that will make your move simple.
Get rid of everything
Okay, maybe not everything. The more unused and unnecessary items you eliminate from your home, the less stuff you'll have to pack up, haul across town, unload and organize. Make room by selling or donating unwanted items.
Research professional moving companies
Research is never fun. Yelp and Google will overwhelm you with the volume of choices for household moving companies to hire. A moving company can often make or break your entire moving experience, so it's important to get it right. The more effort you put into finding a reputable company with excellent customer service ahead of time, the less hassle you'll have on moving day. Also, double check the moving company you want to hire is licensed with the state you're in. Read the company's list of services, fine print and refund or damage policies, too.
Pick the right moving day
Hire your movers at least a month out so you can plan accordingly. If you have a flexible schedule, play around with potential moving dates and try to find the cheapest time of month to make an appointment. Moving companies are busiest on weekends, so if you can skip the Saturday chaos, schedule your move for a Tuesday and you might get a significant discount.
Map out the best way to get to your new home
Whether you're moving to a brand new city, across the country, across state lines, or just to a neighboring town, you're going to need an efficient travel route so you don't waste your move-in day sitting in traffic or pulling over three different times to type an address into your GPS. Look up potential highway construction schedules ahead of time and take traffic, detours, and necessary stops into account when you're making your plan.
Create a master moving-to-do list
When you move homes, you end up having a million different things to do and remember. Don't let all these tasks and important reminders slip your mind. Write them down somewhere. Put them in the Notes App on your phone or go old school with a pad of paper.
Put moving tasks on your calendar
Take your organization a step further and spend an evening mapping out everything you have to do. Get an oversized calendar and mark the empty spots with important daily tasks to prepare for your move.
Check to see if you have original boxes for your electronics
You might think your flat screen TV could withstand a 30-minute drive across town in a cardboard box but it's still a fragile piece of technology. The best way to transport your electronics is in the original boxes they arrived in when your purchased them. Check to see if you stashed these boxes. If you don't have them, quilted blankets, bubble wrap, and sturdy tape all work well to protect TVs and similarly delicate items.
Go to the hardware store
Make a list and brainstorm every possible item you will need to help you get through the moving process. Nothing is too insignificant. Packing tape, cardboard boxes, packing paper, extra screws, a measuring tape, a new industrial-sized broom, you name it. Buy it all in one big haul.
Schedule Disconnect times
Call your cable, internet, electricity, and gas providers at least a week ahead of your move to figure out when you need to shut everything off. Make sure you leave enough time in your schedule to gather any necessary items – like cords, remotes, or cable boxes – you may need to return.
Call in favors early
If you're relying on friends and family to help with your move, be courteous and give them a month's notice. Do the same with babysitters for your children.
Haven't sold your house yet? Core Properties will buy your current home as-is for cash. We take all of the work out of selling your home and pay cash fast.

Noughts and Crosses
Teacher's Pack
Frances Gregory
Overview for Scheme of Work4
Lesson Plans, WS7–45
English teachers don't need to be told the enormous value and pleasure of reading whole texts as class readers. Little compares with that feeling when a class are truly engaged in the reading of a really good book. Those moments stay with you forever – indeed, they fuel the desire to find another such book to repeat the experience, again and again. Fortunately, contemporary writers of fiction for young adults continue to offer us fresh opportunities to enjoy literature with our students.
Oxford Rollercoasters is a series that offers teachers the opportunity of studying first-class novels – recently written for teenagers – as whole-class readers with Year 7, 8 and 9 students.
Focus on assessment of reading
Oxford Rollercoasters includes titles with varied themes, challenging subject matter and engaging plots – for example, Noughts and Crosses takes a very contemporary slant on racism, Firestarter features a modern-day compulsive arsonist, while Fire, Bed and Bone is set during the Peasants' Revolt. Each novel is accompanied by innovative and engaging teaching materials, specifically designed to help students access the texts and to support learning as required by the National Curriculum.
Rollercoasters is firmly based on the reading objectives in the Framework, and draws on approaches to reading fiction recommended by the English strand of the Secondary National Strategy. The series is written by practising teachers and consultants, and, while concentrating on the explicit teaching of reading skills, also draws on approaches to literature through drama and media. Theories behind both assessment for learning and thinking skills are also embedded in the materials.
Time-saving resources
For each Rollercoasters novel there is a set of Lesson Plans, specifying particular objectives, assessment focuses and learning outcomes. These are accompanied by a compact Overview (see page 4) which summarizes the scheme at a glance, including the necessary resources for each lesson.
The Navigator offers a clear plot summary, linked to relevant chapters, to help speedy location of particular parts of the novel.
Lesson Plans are accompanied by full, varied and practical Worksheets and OHTs, and drama activities are common within the teaching schemes. The worksheets and OHTs are customizable to meet the needs of a particular teacher and class.
For every novel there are suggested guided reading sessions as well as the opportunity to develop further specific group teaching. Class, shared and independent reading are also fully supported in the Lesson Plans.
The practice of keeping some form of Reading Journal during the study of the novel is encouraged in many of the schemes, and there are several attractive models for such record-keeping across the teaching materials.
Every set of Lesson Plans ends with its own student Reading Assessment Progress Sheet, which the teacher can then use to identify areas for development for each student.
Reading Guide
Each of the novels has its own student Reading Guide, which contains a rich variety of material to help to engage students in their study of the novel. Each one features unique author's craft material, giving students a great insight into the writing, editing and publishing process.
Ideas for wider reading and for the extension of independent reading are also provided in the Pathways section at the end of the Reading Guide.
Website support
The Rollercoasters website provides access to the free on-line teacher's resources, sample chapters of the novels and further author information.
Oxford Rollercoasters provides first-class teaching resources for first-class contemporary fiction. The series is designed to engage the widest possible...

Communication is only one behavior in an animal's repertoire and whether or not to communicate at any instant is influenced by many factors outside the scope of this article. However, once the decision to communicate has been made, we would expect communication behavior to be as effective as possible. Both the physical environment and the social environment can have major influences on the effectiveness of communication; these are manifested as decisions concerning when and where a signal is broadcast and in the structure of the signal. A complication is that both types of environment change over a range of timescales and often vary cyclically. For example, vegetation changes over an annual cycle in temperate terrestrial habitats whereas the activities of other signalers can change from signal to signal. A limitation on our understanding of such matters is that signaling is a much more conspicuous behavior than receiving, and therefore most of the information on when and where to communicate relates to signaling behavior.
In this section, we will consider the physical environment first because generally its effects are less complex and change less frequently than the effects of the social environment. However, it is important to remember that both physical and social environment contribute to the variation in communication behavior and signal structure that we observe.
All habitats modify signals during transmission. Signals are both attenuated and degraded, that is, signal energy is absorbed and signal details are distorted by the environment. Often degradation will limit the effective range of a signal before attenuation - it is a common personal experience to know that someone at a distance has said something, but to be unable to understand the words; the signal has been detected but the detailed information it contains cannot be discerned. Habitats can be thought of as imposing selection pressures on the form of signals and as a result most signals are adapted to some degree to their transmission environment. For example, birds found in open habitats (e.g., grassland) tend to sing songs with rapid temporal patterning (the songs contain more trills than whistles) and with a wide frequency range. By contrast, woodland bird songs tend to have more low frequency whistles than high frequency trills. This difference contributes to minimizing the effect of the habitat on signals during transmission; trills suffer less degradation from the irregular changes in air temperature and wind speed characteristic of open habitat, while low frequency whistles suffer less degradation induced by reflections from leaves and trunks in woodland.
Transmission conditions also change within a habitat on daily and seasonal timescales; for example, the effects on visual and acoustic signals of a deciduous forest in winter are very different from those in the same forest in summer. Such changes often affect to a greater extent when and where signals are produced than they affect signal structure.
Effects of the Physical Environment on When and Where to Communicate
The most effective time to signal is often related to cyclical changes in the physical environment. An example on a seasonal timescale is communication underlying breeding behavior; breeding is seasonal (e.g., spring in temperate zones and the rainy season in equatorial regions) and so are the long-range mate attraction and territory defense signals such as birdsong and the choruses of frogs and insects. Cycles occurring over shorter time-scales are also accompanied by appropriate signaling behavior. Circalunar and tidal cycles are common in aquatic or intertidal environments and animals such as fiddler crabs produce their claw-waving visual signal at low tide. Daily (circadian) cycles give rise to choruses of bird song at dawn and of frogs and fireflies at dusk. It seems reasonable to expect cycles of receiver activity to coincide with those of signalers. However, it is possible that the amount of information available during periods of very high signaling activity (e.g., intense chorusing) could exceed receivers' processing abilities, with the result that receivers may avoid such periods.
The most effective place to signal from is affected by several factors including transmission conditions and the area to be encompassed by the signal. Environmental factors affecting signal transmission often vary from location to location within habitats. For example, studies that broadcast bird song and record it at different locations to investigate location effects on transmission have shown that the best perch height for maximizing song transmission (i.e., where signalers should be found) is lower than that which favors sound reception (where receivers should be found). As many visual signals rely on reflected light (see above), it is not surprising that signaler location is strongly affected by the incident light regimes in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Some species take things further and alter the properties of the signaling location to enhance signal transmission. For example, mole crickets excavate a calling burrow in an exponential horn shape to amplify their call and some tree crickets create acoustic baffles from leaves to modify the spreading pattern of their call. Signaling from a single location can be less effective than signaling from several locations, often because the signal does not encompass the required area. When several signaling locations are used, the signaler faces a series of decisions including how to apportion effort between locations and the interval before returning to each location. Often solutions to these issues based on a priori considerations will be overridden by the activity of adjacent signalers and receivers, that is, the social environment can modify and often override effects of the physical environment.
The most noticeable effects of the social environment on signal form occur when other signalers and receivers have adverse influences that cannot be avoided by ceasing signaling or signaling from another location. One example involves the species specificity or species distinctiveness of signals and is a form of character displacement. If the signal characteristics ofsympatric species overlap then we would expect selection for the signals to diverge because communicating with the appropriate species is important in many contexts. Character displacement is commonly assumed to be the cause of a lack of overlap of signal characteristics between species in sympatry when compared with the same species in allopatry.
A common influence of the social environment is an aspect ofcommunication networks, that is, the presence of receivers in addition to the intended receivers (Figure 1). These additional receivers can intercept signals intended for others, usually at a cost to the signaler. Often such interceptive eavesdroppers are predators or parasites that use broadcast signals to locate prey and hosts. Examples are predatory bats that feed on calling male frogs and flies that use calls to locate frog hosts for their parasitic larvae. Signalers rarely call in the presence of such eavesdroppers (i.e., eavesdroppers affect decisions on when and where to communicate; see below), but there are examples in which the form of the signal reduces the opportunity for interceptive eavesdropping. The clearest examples are signals that warn of predators because such warning calls must be given in a predator's presence and could be intercepted by the predator. For example, the warning call (seeet) given by some northern temperate species to an aerial predator has a frequency of about 8 kHz, to which the calling species is more sensitive than the eavesdropping predator.
Interceptive eavesdroppers may also be the same species as the signaler and therefore potential competitors and rivals of the signaler. For example, a male fiddler crab reacts by producing courtship waving signals when he intercepts the courtship signals produced by a male neighbor in response to the female, even though he cannot see an approaching female, and in doing so he becomes a competing suitor. During close-range, high-intensity courtship or aggressive interactions, some song birds change from a far-carrying advertising song to a form of song that carries less far as a consequence of its lower amplitude and greater high-frequency content. Such a change in signal form should restrict the potential for eavesdropping at times when the signaler can suffer high costs.
Effects of the Social Environment on When and Where to Communicate
The most readily observed effect of the social environment on communication is the avoidance of adverse influences (e.g., risk of predation, interference from other signalers) by ceasing signaling or signaling from another location. Interference from other signalers of the same species is particularly severe in high-density communication networks (e.g., breeding colonies, chorus aggregations) and can result in changes in communication behavior. For example, chorusing male frogs have less success attracting a female when another calling male is close by. In response to such interference males may vary the timing of their calls both in relation to close neighbors and the overall synchrony of the chorus. As males may fight to displace others calling from close by and as the larger male usually wins, small males often move away when a large male begins calling near them. It is likely that similar considerations apply to receivers.
Signaling interactions between others are one aspect of the social environment in which eavesdropping would be favored because information on relative aspects of the signalers is readily available from such interactions. In such social eavesdropping (cf. interceptive eavesdropping, above), the eavesdropper does not take part in the signaling interaction (Figure 1). Social eavesdropping by both sexes has been demonstrated in laboratory experiments on fish using visual signals and in field experiments with territorial songbirds: males and females eavesdropped on aggressive signaling interactions between other males, and females eavesdropped on malefemale courtship interactions. There are indications that receivers position themselves in space and time to facilitate social eavesdropping. The specific circumstances of an interaction and the individuals involved will determine whether the signalers involved will gain or lose from the presence of social eavesdroppers (e.g., the winner of an aggressive interaction may gain while the loser may not) and therefore how the eavesdroppers will affect when and where the interaction occurs.

SEOUL -- Actor Jang Geun-suk, who started his mandatory service as a public service worker last month at an emergency control tower in Seoul, urged Japanese fans to stop visiting his workplace.
Jang, diagnosed with bipolar disorder, was dispatched to the Seoul Metropolitan Fire & Disaster Headquarters, the capital's emergency and disaster control tower, on July 15 as a public service worker for his mandatory service which will end in 2020.
"Unwanted visitors could cause inconveniences to workers including Mr. Jang," the 30-year-old's agency, TreeJ Company, said in a statement uploaded onto Jang's Japanese fan club website.
The agency warned that any secret visitors would be banned permanently from the actor's official fan club. "We also strongly insist fans should refrain from lingering around Jang's commuting routes," it said.
The strong message from Jang, known for a warm and friendly attitude, caught the eyes of Japanese fans. Nori, a user from Yahoo Japan, wrote: "Maybe it's because of Jang's bipolar disorder. He must be having a hard time with unwanted fans around his workplace."

As pc networks continue to increase couturiers are confronted with the task of catering for an increasing array of company demands without blowing out the price of the remedy. Companies nowadays are putting more of a focus on security and converged [voice, video and information] and a more effective usage of pc resources across pricey links.
Luckily for community designers, community virtualization systems like Virtual Router Forwarding (VRF), Digital LANs (VLAN), Digital Device Context (VDC) and Digital Private Networks (VPN) are supplying the versatility that contemporary networks need. How?
The short reply is the fact that virtualization technologies let one piece of components to be divide into several valid devices. In this manner, technology can conform to evolving organizational adjustments such as re-structures, mergers and increase without undermining the present network. This could lessen the hazards related to network modifications, decrease the significance of large scale funds investment in infrastructure and also make the most effective utilization of current network assets.
Take an organizational amalgamation as an illustration of a shifting business landscape. Inconsistent IP tackle schemas can delay the sharing of community resources because of the intricacy of renumbering hosts along with other essential infrastructure. But utilizing virtualization systems, designers can operate the inconsistent network ip address ranges in parallel across an identical cable with no need to re-number either firm's infrastructure. Principal translation points can subsequently be configured to supply accessibility involving the networks finishing the interim remedy and making resources accessible across organizations promptly and inexpensively!
Purchasing more time by means of this sort of option ensures the more long-term consolidation tasks can happen over time with no pressure from your business that are happily getting one another's resources over virtualized community parts. Staying consolidation tasks can subsequently even be aligned with current network components refresh jobs (usually network components is changed every 4-5 years) additional streamlining prices as a result of reduced amount of range in the first consolidation work.
This is only one example of the versatility that community designers have through the application of network virtualization systems. Clearly, virtualization also adds itself to long-term network layout options at the same time. VPNs, for instance can be utilized to cut costs through the use of public or third-party network infrastructure instead of commissioning expensive private infrastructure to give connectivity. VLANS are still another example of digital segregation on a community.
For Managers, CEOs and CIO understanding when increase or organizational versatility is needed that there could be options to hardware and added site links may come as an oasis in an ocean of zeros and 1. Virtual Router shine in providing advanced remedies and must be provided due thought on any community layout.

The Waldo Canyon fire sent a mushroom cloud of smoke nearly 20,000 feet (6,100 metres) into the air over Colorado Springs.
The blaze has been fanned by stiff, hot winds blowing into the southern Rockies from the prairies to the east.
As, Randy Royal, the battalion chief of the Colorado Springs Fire Department says, the combination of the high temperatures and the dry weathers created "perfect storm" conditions for a fire.
"In the twenty-six years that I've been here, this is probably the worst weather conditions that I've seen. Very dry. We haven't had any moisture for a long time. The (one) hundred degree temperatures that we have are record temperatures for the Colorado Springs area. So all those coming together are kind of the perfect storm to make this a bad, bad fire," he said.
After three days, the blaze has scorched an estimated 4,000 acres and thousands of residents have been displaced by evacuations.
As of late Monday, an estimated 4,800 people were under evacuation orders on the western outskirts of Colorado Springs.

5 Things to Know About HACCP Color-Coding
Color-coding is an important part of any food safety program. Not only does it help prevent cross-contamination due to pathogens, allergens and foreign contaminates, color-coding has a variety of other uses. With the number of governmental regulations growing, it is essential that food processing facilities stay on top of the current trends and best practices to be market leaders. Implementing a color-coding program is a great way to help accomplish that.
Here are the five things that you should know about color-coding:
1. All types of food processing facilities can benefit from color-coding
2. Color-coding helps prevent cross-contamination in food processing facilities
3. Color-coding helps distinguish critical zones and control points
4. There is currently no standard set of rules for color-coding, just best practices
5. Color-coding programs are looked upon favorably by auditors and customers

The International roundtable on assessment of Kazakhstan's membership and chairmanship in the UN Security Council took place in Astana on April 26. The event was organized by the Public association known as "Association of Political Studies".
The roundtable was attended by the expert on Central Asia, the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Open Central Asia" Mark Ahmed from the UK. He made a presentation on the topic "Non-permanent membership of Kazakhstan in the UN Security Council". In his speech the expert focused on the main approaches of Kazakhstan's program in the UN.
In his speech he said: "The important priority of Astana on the UN platform remains the promotion of peace-making initiatives within the UN aimed at building a world without nuclear weapons. Thus, in December 2015, the General Assembly of the UN adopted the Universal Declaration on achieving a nuclear-weapon-free world initiated by Nursultan Nazarbayev. In addition, the priorities of Kazakhstan's membership are formulated in the political address of the President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev (in January 2017). These include the implementation of preventive diplomacy, the promotion and strengthening of confidence-building measures, the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, conflict resolution and countering international terrorism."
The expert emphasized that the manifesto of Nursultan Nazarbayev "The World. The 21st century" represents an almost ready road map for action by the international community to strengthen global security and stability.
Mark Ahmed said: "The UN must respond to contemporary realities, the current format of existing and potential threats to global stability and security. In the XXI century there are new players with high pace of development, a vivid example of which is Kazakhstan with its international activity. In its manifesto, the RK calls on the world community to adopt a programme aimed at a progressive movement towards a world completely free of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction. The document calls for the formation of a global coalition of Nations for peace and security under the aegis of the UN, a new strategy for the UN Conference on Disarmament, as well as the establishment of a nuclear-free zone in the Middle East."
As one of the main tasks of the UN Security Council and the international community in the near future, the expert sees the need to solve the Afghan problem.
The publisher of "OCA" magazine also noted: "The key role is to promote intra-Afghan political dialogue. Only through this dialogue, a long-term stabilization of the situation in Afghanistan is possible. It requires comprehensive assistance to the IRA, purpose of which is to address the socio-economic problems that are becoming one of the causes of the spread of terrorism and extremism. There is a need for close coordination between the countries of the region and the international community under the aegis of the United Nations."
In his opinion, organizing a control in the information field of the country, as well as practical measures to deprive the terrorist groups operating in the IRA of sources of funding, freedom of movement and possibility of recruitment, are effective.
Mark Ahmed added: "The problem of drug production in Afghanistan and subsequent transit of narcotic substances through the territories of neighboring countries in the CIS and Europe requires priority attention. Its solution would deprive terrorists of sources of funding. One of the options for solving the Afghan problem, as well as other regional challenges, is the possibility of using Kazakhstan's non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council in 2017-2018."
In general, the roundtable participants indicated that Kazakhstan is proposing a program that has long been implemented in other international organizations and finds support. It has long shown countries an example of solving political, economic and social problems for the benefit of all peoples. Kazakhstan has successful experience in implementing peace-making efforts and mediation in solving a number of regional conflicts. The state became widely known thanks to the recognized successful presidencies of the OSCE, OIC, SCO and other international agencies. Kazakhstan defends the common interests of the Central Asian States on the platform of the UN Security Council.
Representatives of the Government and deputies of Kazakhstan, leaders and experts of non-governmental organizations, representatives from Kazakhstani and foreign research centers took part in the work of the International Roundtable "Kazakhstan's chairmanship of the UN Security Council: new opportunities on a global scale". In particular, experts from Russia, Armenia, Georgia, Germany and Belgium made presentations on a par with the guest from the UK.
List of participants:
- Karlygash Nurmatov (Doctor of Political Sciences, professor, Director of the Association of Political Studies, Astana)
- Tuleutay Suleymenov (First Minister of Foreign Affairs of the RK, Doctor of Political Sciences, professor)
- Matthias Dornfelt (political scientist, expert in Central Asia)
- Serik Seydumanov (Doctor of Sociological Sciences, professor, Deputy of the RK)

California requires that all drivers and all owners of a motor vehicle must carry automobile insurance when operating a motor vehicle. The laws also require that the driver carry a valid driver's license. If someone is involved in an auto collision without a valid driver's license or valid auto insurance, recovery can be limited. There may also be criminal liability for failure to obey the rules of the road.
What happens if someone is involved in an auto collision and does not have auto insurance?
If someone is involved in an auto collision and does not have automobile insurance, recovery may be limited. In 1996, California passed the Limitations on Recovery to Uninsured Motorist Act that limits the recovery of automobile drivers who are involved in motor collisions and do not have auto insurance. Also known as Proposition 213, the act denies recovery for noneconomic damages, such as claims for pain and suffering. However, there are certain exceptions. For example, if the vehicle was operator for the driver's employer, if the accident occurred on private property, or the owner of the vehicle did have insurance coverage.
Car Accident Attorney
Nevertheless, if someone was involved in an auto collision and cannot show proof of financial responsibility by purchasing liability insurance, the person involved in the auto collision can post a bond or deposit cash in the amount of $35,000.00 with the Department of Motor Vehicles. This allows the party to meet the financial responsibility requirement of the California Vehicle Code and allows full recovery. Though, this process is tedious and requires assistance from an attorney.
If the person involved is a pedestrian or a passenger in the vehicle, then Proposition 213 does not apply. There are also other exceptions if the collision resulted in a wrongful death claim, caused by a drunk driver, or if there is a claim for punitive damages. These exceptions are case specific, and a Car Accident Attorney must be able to make the determination.
What happens if someone is involved in an auto collision but does not have a driver's license?
In California, driving without a valid driver's license is either a misdemeanor or an infraction. This is made clear in California Vehicle Code § 12500. If charged and convicted for a misdemeanor, there can be penalties up to and including six months in jail and up to $1,000.00 in court fines. If the conviction is determined to be an infraction, the maximum penalty is $250.00.
However, not having a driver's license itself does not impact the collision claim. They are two different claims and there is no requirement to have a driver's license to make a claim under an insurance policy. This gets tricky only if there is no auto insurance coverage or the driver involved in the collision is explicitly excluded from the policy.
What happens if someone is involved in an auto collision but with a suspended driver's license?
In California, driving with a suspended driver's license is a misdemeanor. California Vehicle Code § 14601 imposes penalties such as jail time and court fines. Typically, the jail time and court fines are relative to the underlying reason of the suspension i.e. DUI.
Contact an Attorney
Insurance policies are complex. Recovery could be limited based on your coverage. If a claimant is uninsured or has a suspended driver's license, there may also be criminal charges. It is important to Consult an Attorney in your state immediately following an incident to better understand and protect your legal rights. Do not wait, never hesitate, and reach out to a professional who is ready to serve your needs.
