Supportive Housing
The Supportive Housing Program (SHP) is designed to assist Lycoming County residents in danger of eviction or mortgage foreclosure and those needing to secure housing accommodations. Using a two-tiered process, the goal of SHP is to reach 50 income-qualified customers. The program is administered by the designated Lead Agency: Lycoming-Clinton Counties Commission for Community Action (STEP), Inc. Program oversight is provided by Lycoming County's Planning & Community Development Department and Fiscal Services Department. Additional advice to the County will be provided by an SHP Advisory Committee to be appointed by the Lycoming County Commissioners.
An SHP customer must be a resident of Lycoming County for a minimum of at least one year (12 months). The residency requirement is not limited to the immediate past 12 months but the customer must be able to demonstrate that Lycoming County has been their residence for at least 12 months over the past few years. SHP customers must also meet household income thresholds. While SHP places a priority on households earning 50% of the Area Median Income (AMI) or less ($30,250), the program is able to assist families with incomes up to 200% AMI.
STEP will partner with a limited number of community Referral Partner agencies and the selected SHP customers. SHP will concentrate on Lycoming County's rental community with the goal of helping customers avoid eviction from their rental dwellings and assist homeless residents who are sheltered or unsheltered to obtain safe, affordable rental accommodations. SHP will also be structured to assist a limited number of homeowners who are in danger of foreclosure. To extend the reach of SHP funding, Service Navigation will use other eligible STEP funding streams—federal, state, and local—to meet customers' needs, as well as leveraging other community resources, before allocating SHP resources.
Referral Partners are crucial to the success of SHP. All Lycoming County community organizations are encouraged to apply to become an SHP Referral Partner. STEP seeks those agencies who have demonstrated past success with county residents who have faced complex and multi-tiered social and economic challenges and are in need of rental assistance or pre-foreclosure mortgage assistance.
SHP has two tiers:
- Tier One individuals and families are in crisis or the beginning stages of achieving self-sufficiency. They have complex and multifaceted needs requiring long-term assistance. Customers in Tier 1 will receive STEP's Service Navigation assistance to build a long-range multi-pronged plan leading to immediate stabilization, building of foundational skills, and then achieving long-term self-sufficiency.
- Tier Two includes customers who have made some progress towards self-sufficiency and are deemed by STEP's Referral Partner agencies as ready to take "the next step" on the pathway to self-sufficiency. In addition to the financial assistance (security deposit, utility, and rental or mortgage assistance), needed to stabilize their housing situation, Tier Two customers will receive extensive long-term service navigation support necessary to identify and address issues that impede customers from achieving financial self-sufficiency, thus impeding housing stability over the long run.

French designer Julien Berthier has been taking his boat around Europe- a boat that looks like it is about to go down any minute. The 35 year old artist designed the boat in 2007 because he says that he wanted to "freeze the moment just a few seconds before a boat disappears, creating an endless vision of the dramatic moment". Christened, "Love, Love", Berthier actually cut a working boat in half, sealed it with fiberglass and fitted it with two engines to get the look he wanted.
Berthier admits that his boat has been the reason for more than one harbour master or coast guard being put on full alert as onlookers report what appears to be a sinking vessel. With its stern up and bow submerged, the boat looks like it is headed straight for the bottom and will disappear any minute. But his sculpture, he says, is fully seaworthy and handles quite well, especially in calm weather."This is like kind of the second before it sinks forever – even though most boats don't sink that way. But anyway I wanted to create this image and freeze it this way, and make it visible and maneuverable in that exact position," Berthier says.
Inspired by the 'Titanic' to create his sculpture, Berthier selected a boat after a thorough search of the boatyards at Normandy three years ago. Berthier used the help of a local shipwright to modify the original 21 ft by 8 ft vessel, much to the consternation of the other people in the shipyard who were aghast that a good boat- complete with a small cabin and a sloop rig- was being chopped up. The process was uncomplicated, says Berthier. "It was just cutting it at the right angle, and filling the seams and then taking the keel, filling it with weights, and putting it at the front. There was no special engineering," he says. Twin engines completed the design.
The Paris based artist has built himself quite a reputation designing some weird and absurd artwork; he has also designed a giant skull in the hedges of a European cottage and made holes in an apartment's wall with the wreckage spelling "Welcome Home." Some critics have said that his engineered artwork seems to 'occupy the twilight zone between comedy and tragedy'. ' Love, Love' is another case in point. "What I'm looking for, all the time, is you see something, it's not just dark or just funny, it's someplace in between," he says. "I like when you don't know if you are supposed to laugh or not or what are you actually looking at."
Berthier has not licensed the boat, which would be expensive and, as his says, it would probably not pass inspection anyway. Nonetheless, he has sailed his sinking 'Love, Love' down many famous places like Lake Constance in Germany, London's Canary Wharf and Normandy in France. "We never had any problem moving with it in harbors after having warned the harbor master," he says. The only snag is that the authorities seem to be swamped with people reporting a boat in distress wherever 'Love, Love' appears.
As a final oddity, Berthier says he is not a sailor and prefers land any day. "I've been once on a boat for two days, and I threw up for two days," he says.

Money_Button causes
The End of survival of an independent artist and inovator, Misha Pelt.
In the Bitcoin Cash space, and crypto space partially, I guess poeple are aware, and awaiting the revolutionary Money_Button release.
I do have the prototype down bellow, and most likely I was between the first people who implemented it.
This kind of invention is somethink I wished for and now it is a reality.
!!!Thank You, Ryan X. Charles!!!
I am getting ready for the Money_Button release, and actually preparing a surprise for that day. But that is not, what I really want to talk about.
Today, I created colored coins
called Number_Sonics give away, as a means of excahnge, so some of you still can get this tune for free, even without knowing me, or asking me for a favor.
I issued 1111 units and I will give them away. Some totaly and some as excahnge for your support, help, love, spreading the word etc.
May good things keep happening …
Please, Feel free and ok, to sent me your cashaddress through the contact page to receive some Number_Sonics give away colored coins! It makes me happy to give.
HandCash handle is $cryptodignity, if you want to support me, I kindly appreciate it, as I am stuck in Czech and need fly tickets back to Spain, for me and my two girls. I purchased only one_way, with BCH, and the currency is so down now, that if I have to buy them all myself, I will have not much left.
Yours Misha Pelt

Here I am showing the way to create a paragraph with hanging indents.
First create a few paragraphs.
After selecting those paragraphs, set a positive value to "left indent" and a negative value to "first line indent".
Then you will have to manually insert TABS between the first word and the second word at the beginning of each paragraph.
If you decided to configure a paragraph style, refer to the configuration like this one.

Most companies do not give the importance due to automation of their development processes. Routine tasks such as build, deploy and release new versions of the application are done completely manually. All these tasks should be simple and executed several times a day, but in reality they are avoided because of the high cost of their execution and for fear of breaking something into production.
Deploy means making the application available for use. For example, a manual deploy process may consist of exporting a WAR in Eclipse, accessing the Tomcat administration page, and uploading the WAR.
These manual, time-consuming and problematic development processes are already so deeply rooted in corporate culture that they all consider normal practice.
The difficult way is the standard and teams can not see that there is room for improvement. Companies are paying too expensive and delivering software less often.
Within the automation process, the configuration files may also have their automated publishing within the process of automatically publishing the releases. This will give much more security than manual deploy. If there are components with configuration files that require different values based on the target environment, you can create a token for the configuration files.
Manual builds bring inumerous risks to the project and automating it will help you heal most of them!
Do not automate only the build but also deploy
Although the build is already common practice, deploy, which is a critical process for software delivery, is still left out and done manually on company or client servers. To make matters worse, the deploy of the application usually stays in the hand of only one person, who in turn has all the step by step in the head. It simply leaves the company that the various problems related to knowledge center appear.
For most companies and projects, the deploy process is something very simple. It is only a list of steps that must be performed in a particular order. If you stop for a moment and write these steps in a TXT file, chances are you end up with a list very similar to the list below:
- run the build to generate the WAR;
- upload the generated WAR to the production server;
- stop Tomcat;
- delete the old Tomcat WAR;
- copy the new WAR to Tomcat;
- restart Tomcat;
These steps may vary depending on the application and production environment, but overall, this script does not skip much. Although simple, running each step manually besides time consuming, opens up gaps for silly errors, such as forgetting to delete the old WAR or even forget to stop Tomcat first of all. Like any manual task, the higher its frequency the greater the chances of errors.
Because it is a time-consuming and risky process, it is common for it to be done less often, which runs counter to the agile principles in which it says: if the process bothers you then do it more often.
Be patient, after you mature your deploy process you can invest some time to apply standards that reduce the risk of deployment, how to evolve the database schema, rollback in case of error, securely publish configuration files, among others.

What sort of "state" are you in? It's the question asked by concerned mothers, friends, doctors, and air traffic controllers the world over. Now, Silicon Valley wants in on the action, and they're not awaiting your response.
As CNN noted last week, Uber, the uber-popular ride-hailing app, filed a patent for a machine learning program capable of "predicting user state." In other words, an artificial intelligence system designed to alert the company whenever a user of its app is inebriated, high, or just generally losing their marbles.
How will they do that? By assuming you have used the app prior, and in a more sober state. As the patent explains:
"The system trains a computer model to predict a user state of a user using data about past services…The user behavior may be compared against the user's prior behavior to determine differences in the user behavior for this request and normal behavior of prior requests."
Luckily, I only use Uber when I'm sloppy drunk, so the A.I. will be fooled into thinking (knowing) I'm simply a low-IQ human with lackluster motor skills, but for others the results could be more dire. As the patent explains, Uber reserves the right to "alter the parameters" of the services they offer in response to a user's predicted state. In other words, a passenger deemed to be drunk may be charged a higher fee, or rejected outright.
"It would be cool if drivers got extra money for picking up drunk passengers," the author of The RideShare Guy blog told CNN.
Of course, the flip side to this is that the more intoxicated a potential passenger is, the more desperate for a ride they are: self-transport of any sort while under the influence is highly dangerous (looking at you, drunk bicyclers). Though upcharging for the service makes economic sense, you have to wonder about those who get priced out of the service on these grounds. While those who are unable to afford other upcharges (say, surge pricing during rush hour) have the option of foregoing a cab ride altogether, those drunkenly hailing an Uber at 3 am likely do not, and however else they decide to get home—while maybe cheaper—will certainly be less safe.
It's only a patent for now, but something to keep in mind as Uber begins its whole, "Look we have a handsome new CEO and we're nice now so forget about all that other sh*tty stuff we did and our old douchebag CEO!" thing.

- European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA) -
The European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA) considers the appointment of Dr. Haider al-Abadi as Prime Minister and the dismissal of Nouri al-Maliki by the Iraqi President, as the first essential step to overcome the current crisis in Iraq. Maliki's hysterical insistence on clinging to his post, even claiming the new President has breached the Iraqi constitution, is risible; coming from a man who has himself breached the constitution on an almost industrial scale
The EIFA offers its sincere congratulations to President Masoum for this courageous move and calls for the swift implementation of the next essential steps for creating peaceful coexistence amongst all of the Iraqi people, the establishment of true democracy and the eviction of the Iranian regime from Iraq. These essential steps are necessary to overcome the terrorist and extremist Islamic State formerly known as ISIS.
During his rule Maliki was responsible for the murder, execution, imprisonment and forcible displacement of millions of Iraqis. He was also responsible for widespread state corruption, the embezzlement of billions and the consequent impoverishment of the Iraqi people. By losing the post of Prime Minister and the immunity from prosecution that goes with it, Maliki should be immediately arrested and brought before the international courts, charged with war crimes and crimes against humanity. He must be held accountable for the destruction of the economic and social fabric of Iraq during his eight years in power.
It is the recognition of this impending fate that is driving Maliki towards every desperate measure to cling to power. That is why he has resorted to using all possible security, military and financial levers in a frantic bid to remain as Prime Minister. It is therefore imperative that the UN and U.S. maintain their support for the appointment of Dr. Haider al-Abadi as the new Prime Minister, to ensure a calm and peaceful transfer of power.
While acknowledging the fact that political, security and economic reconstruction of Iraq after eight years of Maliki's rule and dominance of the Iranian regime, faces very difficult challenges, the European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA) hopes that the new Prime Minister will include the following fundamental steps in his agenda; this way he shall enjoy Europe's full support:
1. Formation of a cabinet clear of the influence of foreign powers, particularly the Iranian regime.
2. Immediate release of all political prisoners, especially the women who have been imprisoned under bogus terrorist charges.
3. Active and comprehensive, genuine and not just formalistic, participation of all parts of Iraqi society, particularly the Sunnis and Kurds, in power-sharing, recognizing the people's rights in the Sunni provinces and dialogue with the tribal leaders and Sunni revolutionaries.
4. Rounding up the terrorists associated with the Iranian regime such as Badr, Asaib and Kataib terrorists, as well as other criminal gangs that have played a significant role in Maliki's rule and instigated the sectarian war in Iraq.
5. Purging the army of Iranian mercenaries and all those that Maliki has recruited under his sectarian policy, restoring patriotic officers and turning it into a professional and national army. Only such an army, supported by the tribes and the people will be able to confront extremist and terrorist groups such as the Islamic State (ISIS).
6. Disclosing to the people the names of perpetrators of executions, massacres, bombardment and launching rockets against innocent people and those responsible for poverty and state corruption and holding them accountable before the courts.
7. Recognizing the independence of the Judiciary, dismissing those who have turned Iraq's justice system into a political tool wielded by Maliki.
8. Arresting and holding to account the perpetrators of the six massacres at Camps Ashraf and Liberty; lifting the inhuman siege against Iranian refugees at Liberty and guaranteeing their rights and security and their right to ownership of their property at Liberty and Ashraf.
The new government should prepare the ground for an early free and fair democratic election under UN auspices to restore true sovereignty to the people's representatives.
We hope that Dr al-Abadi will take rapid steps towards implementing the above measures to fulfil the wishes of all the people of Iraq. This way, he will enjoy the full support of the world community and particularly the EU and we shall provide any assistance in our capacity to help him pursue these policies.
Struan Stevenson
President, European Iraqi Freedom Association (EIFA)

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Jul 5, 2020
May 25, 2012 | By Bruce Martin
When the checkered flag drops on the 96th Indianapolis 500, the countdown to the Kroger Super Weekend at the Brickyard begins. And the next stop on the road to NASCAR's annual visit to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on July 26-29 is the Coca-Cola 600 on Sunday night at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
And for several drivers with strong ties to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the 600-mile race is NASCAR's long journey into night.
Let's start with two-time Brickyard 400 winner Tony Stewart of Columbus, Ind. Two times in his career, Stewart has competed in both the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600 the same day. In 1999, he finished ninth in the Indy 500 and fourth in the 600. In 2001, Stewart was sixth in the Indy 500 and third in the 600.
But since he began concentrating on NASCAR, he was won three Cup titles, including 2002, 2005 and 2011, when he pulled off dramatic five wins in 10 races in the Chase for the Championship. He tied Carl Edwards in points after the final race but easily won the Sprint Cup title based on tiebreaker of most victories, as Stewart had five wins to Edwards' one.
Stewart will watch the 96th Indianapolis 500 on Sunday before strapping into his Chevrolet with the No. 14 – a number he chose from his racing idol, four-time Indianapolis 500 winner A.J. Foyt.
A win at Charlotte in the 600 would be a great way for Stewart to prepare for his trip to the Brickyard at the end of July.
"Any time you win a race at Charlotte, it's big," Stewart said. "It's a speedway with a lot of history and, obviously, the Coke 600 is a huge event. I'm a big fan of shorter races nowadays, but the 600 is truly a special event, with it being on Memorial Day weekend and the history of the Coke 600, when it was known as the World 600. There's just a lot of tradition that surrounds the month of May in Charlotte. So, this is a big race. This is an important race to win."
Stewart has one win, six top-five and 12 top-10 finishes in 26 starts at Charlotte but has never won in the 600.
The Coca-Cola 600 and the Brickyard 400 have special meaning to Jeff Gordon, who grew up in Pittsboro, Ind., – about 20 miles west of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway off Interstate 74.
Gordon scored the first of his 85 Cup wins in the 1994 Coca-Cola 600. His second Cup win may have been even bigger as he won the inaugural Brickyard 400 in NASCAR's first-ever trip to the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
Gordon enters the 600 24th in Sprint Cup points, so a win would be important if Gordon has any hopes of making this year's Chase for the Championship because the final two positions in the 12-driver lineup are wild card entries based on race victories for drivers position 11-20 in points after the cutoff race for the Chase at Richmond in September.
It's been 18 years since Gordon's first Cup win in the 600 back in 1994, and he remembers just how long it felt.
"I thought we were getting close to the end of the race, and they told me we weren't even halfway yet," Gordon said. "That race felt a thousand miles. It just seemed so, so long. These days I've learned you don't ask until you know the end of the race is near. This track is very temperature-sensitive - it always has been. We'll start the race guessing what the balance (of the car) needs to be during the daytime. But when the sun goes down, it changes drastically. You have to be prepared for those changes without getting too far behind at the beginning, so it's a challenge. But the biggest challenge for me is just trying to manage my fluid intake and getting something in my stomach. You can get really dehydrated in this race if you're not careful."
Gordon hopes he is ready to end his recent streak of bad luck that has plagued him this season.
"We experimented with some things last week, and we'll definitely explore more of that set-up (we used in the All-Star event) this week," Gordon said. "It showed good speed at times. We just need to get the balance a little bit better. We need points and we need wins, so the 600 is far more important to us (than the All-Star race). It's a long race Sunday, and a lot can happen. And I think that suits us. I think a long race is one of our strong points."
Gordon has five wins, 16 top-fives and 20 top-10 finishes in 38 starts. He has won the 600 three times in his career (1994, '95 and '97).
Johnson has an incredible six wins, 10 top-five and 14 top-10 finishes at Charlotte Motor Speedway, including three-straight Coca-Cola 600 wins from 2003-2005. He swept both Cup races at Charlotte in 2004 and 2005. His last Charlotte win came in the October race in 2009.
"It is a very long race on a tough track," Johnson said of the 600. "It's not only from the driver's perspective, but the teams go through a lot to get prepared for that race. Staying alert and focused, properly hydrated all the things that the driver has to go through so do the guys that go over the wall. They change a lot of tires during that race. It's a very tough event on everyone but I think everybody enjoys it. I know my guys do. I know I do. I love that challenge. I love it especially when you are going to victory lane. I hope to do that again.
"Just that weekend with all the racing that takes place worldwide that weekend. It's Memorial Day, there is a very special part in me both of my grandfathers' served. That means something. We are in all of our backyards. Hendrick Motorsports is literally a mile-and-a-half, 2 miles away. I start stacking up a lot of cool reasons to win that race, and I hope to do it."
Kevin Harvick won the 2003 Brickyard 400 and last year's Coca-Cola 600. He enters Sunday night's race eighth in the standings.
"I think (the Coca-Cola 600) is a historic race in our sport," Harvick said. "It's the ultimate test of car, team, driver, engines and every part on the car. The sport is not all about just running a 250-mile race, it's about making your car last. It's more than just having a fast car and lining them up and running a short race. It's really about the attrition of the whole night and surviving that. As things change through the night, you have to keep up with the race track and if your car won't run then you're done. NASCAR needs a race like this because those are the types of things the sport was built on.
"The coolest part about winning the Coke 600 to me was walking up to the top (of Smith Tower), seeing all the fans who'd hung out in The Speedway Club and being able to drink a few Budweisers with them afterward. The fan base we have in this area is very loyal, and they've been here for a long time. Seeing those folks in The Speedway Club was the coolest part."
Paul Menard spent his boyhood years at the Indianapolis 500 watching the cars owned by his father, John, compete on the race track. The younger Menard finally took his father to victory lane at Indianapolis last year in the Brickyard 400.
He is 13th in the Cup standings entering the 600.
"We've wrecked a couple of times (during the Coca-Cola 600) and had some parts failures before, so it's just one of those deals with any race, everything has to go right to get a good finish. And we just haven't had things go right. We've had speed. We've qualified well and raced well; we just haven't finished. It's obviously cooler at night than during the day; so once you're in the car you don't really know whether it's 400 miles or 600 miles. You're just kind of doing your deal. Every track is so different. You know, you run 500 laps at Martinsville, and it's 250 miles; but it feels just as long as a 500-mile race at Texas or somewhere. So it's all relative, I guess. But you just kind of take it as it comes. You sit in the car and you're always thinking about what you need to do and time goes by pretty quick."
Ryan Newman of South Bend, Ind., is a graduate of Purdue University – about an hour's drive from the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He arrives at Charlotte 14th in points and has a special feeling for Memorial Day because his car is sponsored by the U.S. Army.
"Memorial Day is special, and I've told you before that I took for granted what all branches of the military do for us before I got a chance to meet the soldiers and being able to understand what they do and the stories that they have to wear their colors is an honor to wear that Army camouflage to represent Army Strong – that mental, physical and emotional strength a strength like no other," Newman said. "And I can only represent it. Only an Army soldier can be that. I'm doing my best to represent the colors and those people – over a million people that fight for our freedom each and every day. I'm proud to represent them. It's a little bit cooler than just an ordinary product sponsor."
Jeff Burton is a two-time Coca-Cola 600 winner but has never won at the Brickyard. But he has a special appreciation for the role auto racing plays in the Memorial Day holiday.
"I have been more involved over the last few years with veteran affairs and trying to help," Burton said. "I have a whole other appreciation of what it means to be a veteran and what Memorial Day is actually all about. Through those associations, it's hard for me to not look at it differently because a lot of people unselfishly gave their lives. And that's a heck of a thing to say. Some people raised their hands and fought for their country and some people were asked and didn't really want to go, but went and lost their lives. You tend in everyday life to look over all that stuff. When you get to the nuts and bolts of it, Memorial Day is a really special weekend and day, and I think on top of that it's the best race weekend of the year.
"You look at that Sunday and there is the F1 race in Monaco, the Indianapolis 500 and the Coca-Cola 600. That's three iconic races on the same day, on Memorial Day weekend, and to me that's as good as it gets."
Juan Pablo Montoya blistered the field to win the Indianapolis 500 in his only attempt in 2000. He finished second in his first Brickyard 400 in 2007. Montoya has never won a race at Charlotte.
"I was pretty happy with the way our Target Chevy handled in the Showdown race last weekend, so I'm feeling pretty good about this weekend," Montoya said. "We used the 40-lap race Saturday night try and learn some more information for the point's race. The car had speed and we were running right up front till I got a bit of damage. I'll tell you, these guys are working hard every day to try and find that something extra that is going to get us back up front. I've never meant a more determined group of guys and hopefully that'll show in this weekend's race. Also, we'll have a pretty cool Target paint scheme to show off for the NASCAR Unites campaign."
Montoya's teammate is Jamie McMurray, who won both the Daytona 500 and the Brickyard 400 in 2010 to give team owner Chip Ganassi the only sweep of the three major races the same season. Ganassi won the Indianapolis 500 that year with Dario Franchitti.
McMurray has one win at CMS, but that came in October 2010 – not in the 600.
"This is a really busy week for us as we always have a lot going on with sponsor commitments and appearances, so it is always fun to see everyone in town for this race," McMurray said. "There always seems to be a bit more excitement around this race when we are here at home. Charlotte is one of my favorite race tracks. It has been a really good track for me, personally. I have been fortunate enough to win here a couple of times, including my first Sprint Cup win ever in 2002. We used the Sprint Showdown race last weekend to try and learn a few things to make our Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet better for the Coca-Cola 600, so I am looking forward to getting back to the track on Thursday and getting ready for this weekend. I also really look forward to all the cool stuff that Charlotte Motor Speedway does to celebrate Memorial Day in honor of all the men and women who have made sacrifices for our country and to recognize all the current military members that serve and protect our freedoms."
And then there is Danica Patrick, who made her name in the Indianapolis 500 and will compete in her first Coca-Cola 600. It will be her third Sprint Cup start.
"I think Darlington was one of those weekends that could have confirmed opinions or sort of developed new ones for people and I think it was more on the 'develop new ones' than it was to confirm if someone didn't think I was doing a good job," Patrick said. "I think just the difficulty of the race, being there for the first time and putting a double-header on top of it in addition to the Nationwide race – I went into it basically knowing it was going to be difficult. I was plenty worried and disappointed after the first practice in Cup because I was last. A lot of people said 'good job,' and I appreciate it, because let's face it: I had a 12th and a 31st. But I appreciate it, and it means that a lot of people with experience are watching and it did go well for the circumstances, so it was a little bit of a confidence-booster."

Being rich is better than being poor. There is no limit to how much money a person can have in a liberal economy. But acquiring money also entails responsibilities towards one's country and the financial markets. There are many who get rich through dubious means like engaging in illicit activities (drugs, smuggling etc.) There are those who resort to tax evasion , the exploitation of the workers and the monopoly of the market to fix their own prices.
However there are laudable rich people who get clean money and use it for the welfare of the needy. The best example is Bill Gates who decided to quit his executive post at Microsoft and to dedicate his vast fortune to help poor people.
It doesn't make sense to curb people's ability to make as much money as they can but it also doesn't make sense to let financial institutions get out of control leading to an economic collapse affecting both the rich and the poor. What is needed is a vision that can lead to the general prosperity and not an excessive greed that leads to the downfall of the perpetrators and those linked to them directly and indirectly.

New features provide improved GPS and data-collection capabilities
San Diego, CA – July 13, 2009 - Ricoh America's Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and business solution cameras, today announced at the ESRI User Conference in San Diego the release of major hardware and firmware enhancements to its 500SE GPS-ready camera.
To provide the best solution for GIS workflows that require quality images, Ricoh has announced the new SE-2 GPS module line for the 500SE to provide superior GPS reception, capabilities and accuracy. The SE-2 modules, designed by EKA Technologies, Inc, incorporates state-of-the-are GPS components into a small, power-efficient, and ruggedized housing that attaches to the side of the 500SE, providing an all-in-one geo-imaging solution.
The new modules are available in two versions. The SE-2g provides GPS capability while the SE-2c offers GPS and a 3-axis compass for direction (azimuth) information.
Key advantages of the SE-2 modules are its small form-factor, significant power saving capabilities and faster GPS fix times, due to it new helix antenna. The SE-2c and SE-2g are also less expensive then previous modules with a MSRP of $169.00 and $399.00 respectively.
To further enhance the camera's data-collection capabilities, Ricoh has also announced a new firmware release for the 500SE that allows it to collect up to ten attributes of field data via an easy-to-use on-board data dictionary or by utilizing the camera's barcode scanning capabilities. Additionally, an unlimited number of data dictionaries may be stored on the camera to provide a virtually unlimited amount of data to embed into images as they are captured. This image 'meta-data' becomes attribute data in GIS mapping applications. The new firmware also allows up to three attributes as well as GPS position, azimuth and UTC (satellite time) to be imprinted directly onto
images as they are captured

Tap to watch if you're viewing on the news app.
Gold Apple Watches run for $12,000 (or $15,000, if you want certain models), but one man made one that looks eerily similar to those for right around $400.
"I want a Gold Apple Watch but I only have $399," Casey Neistat explained in a video with more than 1 million views.
So Neistat, an NYC-based filmmaker, bought a regular Apple Watch and made it gold himself. His method? Spray paint.
Neistat makes it look fairly simple. After unwrapping his regular Apple Watch, he slips off the straps. He then covers the watch in masking tape. He takes a knife and carefully cuts away the tape from the parts he wants to paint, leaving the face of the watch covered.
Next he attacks the watch with a thick layer of gold spray paint on both sides. After the paint dries, he carefully peels off the tape and viola! He's left with a "gold" Apple Watch.
What do you think of this Apple "hack?" Would you try it? Let us know in the comments.

You Need a Truck Accident Attorney
If you have been hurt in a commercial truck accident in Florida and your injuries are considered to be life altering and ongoing or the accident has caused the death of a loved one, then you have the right to sue for damages and be compensated for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other such expenses.
Injuries must exceed limits imposed by Florida's no-fault car insurance laws and must be of the severity and have the type of impact as described above. If this is your situation, then you need help from a Florida personal injury lawyer who has experience and success in truck accident claims.
West Palm Beach truck accidents lawyers, who offer professional legal representation for plaintiffs who have been the victims of negligent truck drivers, possess the qualities needed to make sure that you have the best opportunity to win the type of compensation that you deserve.
Florida Truck Accidents and Negligence
When someone is injured in a truck accident oftentimes the driver of the truck is negligent. Personal liability lawsuits in such mishaps are often the result of a driver operating their commercial vehicle while being distracted, fatigued, or confused.
Other common causes of such accidents include driving too fast for road and/or weather conditions, improperly loaded trucks, the inexperience of the operator, and ill-maintained equipment.
A fully loaded semi tractor-trailer weighs anywhere from 20 to 30 times more than a car and the sheer force of such an object hitting a smaller vehicle can be devastating to the driver and their passengers.
The mass, speed, and force created by a tractor-trailer is life changing when it crashes into another vehicle.
If You Have Been Injured In an Accident
18 Wheeler Accidents Statistics And Facts
The statistics and facts concerning truck-driving accidents in the U.S. are alarming. They reveal the prevalence of these events that can damage and destroy people's bodies and lives in an instant.
- In the U.S., a person is either injured or killed in a commercial truck accident every 16 minutes.
- There are over 400,000 accidents that involve commercial tractor-trailers every year in the U.S.
- The total number of injuries in truck accidents each year is approximately 140,000.
- Of those who are killed, about 3,700 are passengers in the vehicle that has been hit by the truck.
- On a yearly basis, approximately 700 people are killed while operating or riding in a commercial tractor-trailer.
Accident Injury Lawyers in Trucking Mishaps
Bringing suit against a truck driver, a trucking company, and/or trucking company owner can be extremely tricky, as it is often difficult to assess whom one sues.
Plus, commercial truck companies often have teams of high-powered attorneys working for them; these legal professionals are dedicated to defending their client and ensuring that plaintiffs receive as little as possible in damages, and, preferably, nothing at all, for their legitimate claims.
If you are going to sue for negligence in a civil court, you'll need a team of passionate, devoted lawyers who are experienced in the complex legal realm that involves commercial truck accidents.
One of the most important aspects of the process is determining who is at fault, and thus, who should be sued. Often, multiple parties, such as the truck driver, their supervisor, and the company owner, may be named in a lawsuit.
Investigating Your Truck Accident Injury Claim
In the Boca Raton and West Palm Beach areas of Florida, Scott J. Sternberg and Associates, P.A., will endeavor to fully investigate your accident, utilizing the latest technology and methods in evidence gathering and analysis.
We will interview witnesses, review all evidence, such as police reports, emergency response team reports, hospital records, trucking log books and maintenance records, and consider the driving record of the operator of the truck.
Plus, if the commercial tractor-trailer has a black box, we will utilize the important data collected in that device to discover and analyze important factors that may have led to the accident.
Although not all commercial trucks have black boxes, many do, and these devices, not unlike those used on airliners, can offer essential facts and information that may be used in our investigation.
Throughout the entire process, we will work with you, keeping you up-to-date regarding any changes or progress in your case, developing and implementing a strategy designed to ensure that you get every benefit of the law, and working towards winning you the compensation that you deserve.
The skilled and successful team at Scott J. Sternberg and Associates, P.A., will also create a dialogue with the defendant's lawyers and insurers in an attempt to win a fair and equitable out of court settlement that will benefit you.
Many times such settlements are preferred, as they save the plaintiff time, money, and stress associated with going to court, while also forgoing what can be an unpredictable jury trial.

I missed this message, and apparently all others from yesterday when our ISP had a network blackout. This is in response to Steve Muench. You represent a company who tells everyone for miles around how you *saved* one billion dollars on your IT last year. Lord knows how much money you have to throw at developers who are happy to write whatever C code you ask them. I represent a tiny company who can't even get an ISP with a redundant Internet connection. I'm not talking to you WRT format-number() from speculation about what "the developers" experienced. I am telling you that with my own fingers I struggled with format-number() in C to put together an efficient implementation for 4Suite. Jeremy Kloth polished up the job, and between the two of us, we spent an inordinate amount of time considering other ways we could have provided the same functionality if the XSLT WG had not decided to off-load the whole matter to the Java spec. And Jeremy and I are good C programmers. I have about a decade of experience in the language. It all wouldn't be so bad if Java had some extraordinarily elegant and mature mechanism for numerical formatting, but Java's DecimalFormat stuff is very poorly designed and even more poorly specified. I did not set out to implement a bunch of Java quirks: I set out to implement an XSLT processor. If the W3C is proud of the fact that open-source authors implement their specifications, they will do very well to consider that few open-source authors have the resources of Oracle. -- Uche Ogbuji Principal Consultant uche.ogbuji@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx +1 303 583 9900 x 101 Fourthought, Inc. http://Fourthought.com 4735 East Walnut St, Ste.

Remember Big Frank, the baby Peregrine Falcon that was banded on May 29, 2013 at the Sun Life building in Etobicoke (Islington & Bloor) and named in honour of Frank (who fledge-watched at that site for ten years)?
I'm happy to inform you all that Big Frank has been seen, photographed and confirmed in Irondequoit (Rochester), New York!!! Story and photos can be viewed on the Canadian Peregrine Foundation's website and on Rochester's RFalconCam website. If you remember, there was some confusion as to the sex of this bird at the time, which is normal when banding such young birds. Well it turns out that Big Frank has likely grown up a female bird. No problem, we'll take him either way!
I'd like to thank Rob Mueller for informing me of this fabulous news.

Historical records matching Arthur Haynes
About Arthur Haynes
<The Times, November 20, 1966>
Mr. Arthur Haynes, who died on Saturday at the age of 52, was a comedian whose success was due rather to the native drollery of his personality than to the undoubted skill with which he worked. The son of a baker, he had been a bus conductor and was a railway man when he first began to appear in public, earning 1s. 3d. a song as a public house entertainer. From public house singing he graduated into a Forces entertainer and later joined the team with which Mr. Charlie Chester was presenting his radio show, _Stand Easy_.
The public first seemed to notice something novel in Arthur Haynes's style when, 10 years ago, he was appearing on television in _Strike a New Note_, and by 1960 he had succeeded to the point at which, in offerng a three-year contract for £75,000, Associated Television made him one of the most highly paid of British artists.
In 1961 he won the Variety Club of Great Britain award and was elected Television Personality of the Year. He played at the London Palladium for the first time in 1963, in _Swing Along_, a sucess interrupted by illness, and in 1964 he went to Hollywood to play against Miss Gina Lollobrigida - possibly the most improbable of partnerships in _Strange Bedfellows_. His extremely English style was as successful on American television, in The Ed Sllivan Show, as it was in England, where he had recently completed his first major film role in _Doctor in Clover_. With a new series of television shows due soon to be seen, he was playing in cabaret at the Grosvenor Hotel up to the time of his sudden death.
Arthur Haynes appealed to the anarchist hidden inside all respectable members of society, to whom, perhaps, his activities offered a safety valve. His bemedalled tramp, Oscar Pennyfeather convinced the world tat this tramp's life, his ribald rejection of convention, his total lack of respect for the authorities he arrogantly dismissed, was normality. It was the hard-working conventional everyman who seemed suddenly to become ridiculously abnormal.

Reviewed: 20 August 2017 by Abercpl
Well, what can we say about this item?
We ordered it about a year ago now and although our first impressions were OMG how big, after the initial shock and lots of lube myself and hubby decided to give it a try. We started slowly at first, allowing me to adjust to the enormous girth of this monster but once in there was no going back.
"Adam," as we have named it, makes a regular appearance in our play. Hubby who I might add is also not exactly small, finds the fit very comfortable, easily accommodating his cock.
- Pros
- What I like about this the most is its sheer size.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- It is one of the most enjoyable toys in our play box.

This product is near to the real thing. It's fun using it on my partner, he loved every single bit of it.
I would recommend this to couples who have very kinky and adventurous minds. With plenty of lube it slides in nice and comfy and good orgasms off this product. Brill.

Big boy
Reviewed: 24 October 2013 by Delboy1991, a Straight Engaged Female
OMG! This thing is huge! Fat and long and just huge.
When this arrived I couldn't believe the size of it. I was in total shock. We bought this as a couples toy to use together and both of us were speechless.
Later that night we tried it out after still thinking how big it was all day.
The waist strap is brilliant. My boy friend is a size 34- 36 waist and this fitted fine on him. It's very stretchy so would fit almost any size. He said it was very comfortable to wear.
We had no problems getting his bits inside and with a little help from lube he was straight in.
It wasn't very smooth inside like you can see on the outside but said it felt all right.
We used it for a little while and then stopped. I felt very full and couldn't take it all the way in. I suppose practise makes perfect though.
I must say it's very sensational but a weird experience having something that fat and long inside you. I think how wide it is was more of the shock but once it was in it was very smooth and comfortable. It's very lifelike but bigger and fatter than an average man. By the end we were both very happy!
It's very hard feeling and have no nooks or crannies so is very easy to clean on the outside but harder inside and you can't bend it to get to the top.
We also have a 8 inch dildo with a suction cup on the end. Just an idea for the ladies for solo play. It fits perfect inside this, so you have the best of both, which ever you fancy. ;)
- Pros
- Very smooth and comfortable.
- Cons
- A little too long for me.
- Bottom line
- Very new experience.

Big cock
Reviewed: 27 August 2013 by p.mac, a Straight Married Male
I bought this for my wife so that she could enjoy the feeling of having a massive cock inside her.
When she saw it her mouth dropped and couldn't wait to try it out.
The first time we used it she orgasmed 4 times within 15 minutes.
Last night she got me to put it on under my jeans first and spent an hour before sex watching me with that bulge in my jeans.
The only problem she found with it is that it is slightly too long for certain positions. She now wants me to try to find one that is slightly shorter but with the same circumference. I was worried about it not being wide enough for my cock as my cock is pretty thick but it fitted comfortably.
- Pros
- Wife loved it
- Cons
- May be a little too long for certain positions.
- Bottom line
- Brilliant.

How it started…
In 2013 we, Ana Maria Matallana, Farida El Agamy, and Ramia El Agamy met in London, UK. We quickly realised that since we all were part of a Family Business, there was much to share and discuss.
Despite being from three very different parts of the world (Latin America, Europe, and the Middle East) we quickly realised that we shared many similar challenges, asked the same questions, and were looking for space for our ideas. Inspired by this first meeting we developed the dream of creating an international platform to connect women with a family business background from all over the world.
Our initiative is supported by the Tharawat Family Business Forum, a non-profit network of family-owned businesses founded in Dubai and "Women in Family Business" was launched in 2014.
What is the Vision of WIFB?
The vision of WIFB is to become a resource and sharing platform for women involved in the family enterprise.
What is our Mission?
WIFB is a global initiative that offers an opportunity to women from all over the world to share their thoughts on matters relating to the family enterprise and sustainable business practices, connect with their peers, and contribute to the creation of a strong community.
The Founders

Peek n Peak
Way over on the far western corner of New York you'll find Peek 'n Peak, a four season resort with an old-world feel to it.
The resort's Tudor architecture, anchored by the Inn at the Peak, winding paths, and extensive formal landscaping evoke a graceful atmosphere. That feeling is enhanced by the very names of the ski trails: Nottingham Notch, Sherwood Meadow, and Oxford Way are three examples; all trails are named with this common scene.
Trails drop up to 400 vertical feet from several high points along a ridge, and intermediates especially will like the terrain. They have the most choices and the longest runs. Lift E, a triple, serves some fun cruisers like King Richard's Willy-Nilly, Alan-A-Dale (green circle, and a good showoff run under the lift), Kensington Cross (green circle but a bit more challenging than you'd think), and Sherwood Meadow. Lift 8, another triple, serves a fine trio of cruisers in Nottingham Notch, Finsbury Field, and Willie Wynkin Woodlands.

In the episode "ChaotiKings", Kaz was working his way through the puzzles of Castle Pillar. The final puzzle to get the Mugician locked away was to pick the color that didn't fit with the rest. All of those were Tribe colors he recognized except one: purple.
This leads me to believe that purple is or was the Mugicians' Tribe color. But Sloan's theory still gives me even more questions. What if the Mugicians haunting Stone Pillar and Rao'Pa Sahkk could be resurrected? Were they the ones that built Kaizeph and Dranakis Threshold? What would they look like? What could they do?
And going back to the tributes paid at the Eye of the Maelstrom, what if they're not quite as extinct as everyone thinks?

2005 Review
Sorry, I have been busi-ness in this few weeks. Several things need me to clear up before I could make myself better at this end of year. First of all, the reason why I stopped blog for a month because of the delay for the pictures Port Dickson trip. In fact, the pictures are not with me now.
They haven't give me the pictures in their digicam (before I bought Z520i, I just digicam-less, and depends on them). This is really bad. All the good pictures are with them. So, I can't blog that trip. Haizzzz..
Gotta wait till next time, probably after Melaka trip (schedule on 2nd Jan 2006). Hope they take the promise seriously. As you can see how bad it was when you don't own yourself a digicam and relying on others.
Second thing is my studies. My part time studies nearly completed by this month, and finally completed (grade not yet out) on 18th Dec 05 after the final exam. This studies took me 2 years and 3 months, an incredibly long.
What can do. Informatics ma!! Luckily they don't cheat me like what my 2nd year route ended in Aug 2003. This final year, even took longer, at least finished at last. This is important, allowing me to decide my next career ladder after this.
Third thing is upgrading myself in every aspect. It's randomly from wardrobe to gadgets that I wish to buy. The list has to go on and on. It's too long to listed here, but I try to blog each item that I bought next time. LOL.
Yesterday I went to IKEA at Mutiara Damansara to bought somethings on Christmas. It was a very nice outlet. Everytime I visiting there, I will give them a good thumb on their carpark area. Very clean and tidy, plus shiny a little bit.
I hardly see any rubbish or any water mark on the road (it look like rubber mat road). LOL.

For example, if you have a Mask="f", this allows you to enter long-date and short-time. The allowed value should look like this: "Sunday, December 30, 2018 12:00 PM". In other words the seconds and milliseconds are not available to enter and they should be 0. However, if you previously enter a value that contains seconds or milliseconds different than 0, they are cached in the internal LastKnowValidValue property and used when you enter a new value. So, the new value will re-use the seconds and milliseconds from the previous one.
When you hit the Enter key and a number simultaneously the number is removed from the Value of the RadMaskedNumericInput Workaround: Handle the KeyDown event of the RadMaskedNumericInput control, when the Enter key is pressed. private void INPUT_KeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Key == Key.Enter) { if (INPUT.Value.ToString().Length > 0) { RadWindow.Alert(INPUT.Value.ToString()); } e.Handled = true; } }
The Delete button doesn't delete the value when the caret is positioned just before a NumberGroupSeparator. This is reproducible only in a no mask scenario with the FormatString property set to a value that allows displaying of the numeric group separators. The controls where the issue appears are RadMaskedNumericInput and RadMaskedCurrencyInput. Workaround: Subscribe for the PreviewKeyDown event of the masked input control and if the Delete key is pressed, manually update the value. Here is an example: void input_PreviewKeyDown(object sender, KeyEventArgs e) { if (e.Key == Key.Delete) { var startIndex = this.input.SelectionStart; char character = this.input.Text[startIndex]; char numbersGroupSeparator = ','; if (character == numbersGroupSeparator) { startIndex += 1; var text = this.input.Text; text = text.Remove(startIndex, 1); var newValue = this.ExractValueFromText(text); this.input.Value = double.Parse(newValue); e.Handled = true; } } } private string ExractValueFromText(string text) { string[] splittedText = text.Split(new char[2] { ',', '$' }); return String.Join("", splittedText); } Where the this.input is an instance of a RadMaskedCurrencyInput control defined in XAML. Also, keep in mind that the Handled property of the event arguments is set to True. Otherwise, the default deletion logic will be triggered and the solution won't work correctly.
The key combination Ctrl+C replaces the selected text with a special symbol. This is reproducible only if the Ctrl+C opens the Silverlight dialog that asks you if you want to allow cliboard operations. Also, the Mask should be set to an empty string. Workaround: Subscribe for the ValueChanging event of the masked input control and if the new value equals one of the special characters from the ASCII table (you can get the character using the following syntax '(char)3' ) then handle the event. void maskedInput_ValueChanging(object sender, RadMaskedInputValueChangingEventArgs e) { if (e.NewValue != null && ((string)e.NewValue).Length == 1 && ((string)e.NewValue)[0] == (char)3) { e.Handled = true; } }
When the MaskedInput controls are wrapped in a ScrollViewer and the validation tooltip of one of the controls is displayed, it doesn't close while scrolling with the scroll bars.

We apparently see stairs as being significantly steeper than they actually are.
Everyone is being urged to do more exercise but they are always going to be dissuaded by stairs which look formidably steep. This effect lessens as you get nearer than 50m or so.
Today's invention is to incorporate stairs in buildings which are placed at 90 degrees to the approach direction.
This removes the illusion of a hard ascent and may significantly improve people's determination to avoid the lift.

Currently I use the version 12.6 for ChilkatFtp2 and the ChilkatZip2. Your site offers version 9.4.
Is it OK to go ahead with the update?
You also offer 32 and 64 bit versions, is there a difference in the DLL, or you just offer it for our convenience.
Thank you for your support,
N.B. I use VB6 on a Win7 64bit OS.
Not sure where you got 12.6 from, since the current version is 9.4 (typo?), but certainly you can update if you need any new features added since your version, or if you have any encountered any bugs in the old version. If everything is working in your current software, then there is always a risk with updating (that it could accidentally break existing functionality), so it's up to you to decide whether or not that risk is acceptable.
For VB6, you should use the 32-Bit ActiveX version of the library (64-bit is not compatible with VB6).
