The Money Man Talks. Again.
He just won't shut up. What a shame there isn't an over the counter medication for diarrhea of the mouth. NYL$ Dean Mata$ar, a frequent target topic of the scamblogs, stopped counting money long enough to give an interview to a Bloomberg reporter and NYL$ alum. No conflict of interest there.
He whines to his former student that he thinks law schools have received an "inordinate amount of scrutiny." Yes, when scams are discovered, that's pretty much what happens. Ask Bernie Madoff. He didn't like the SEC's scrutiny, so he paid them off. All the scambloggers are starving, . You only had to pay us, and the New York Times wouldn't have picked up on it, ever. They don't do their own research, your filthy secret would have been safe. Instead, you chose to have lackeys from your school send in comments about how your new building was needed and your professors aren't overpaid. Yeah, I read the comments, I just don't publish the crappy ones.
Listen to him dance around this question: Given the recession, do you think law schools have an obligation to reduce enrollment? I don't want to give anything away from this gripping interview, but he didn't get the right answer and it was a true/false question. Fail!
He'd also like to cut the time it takes to get a Bachelor's degree in half and add that to a 5 year program (2 undergrad, 3 law school) and have his school provide that service. Crafty, Dicky! He knows enrollment is down, and to keep the butts in the seats they need a new scam. And he's already come up with one! Well done, Dickster!
In addition to showing how folks can find a way to justify the evil they are inflicting on others, I think past and future students can take three lessons away from this interview. 1) Crime pays. 2) The best criminals are the most creative. 3) Quit while you're ahead, and shut up. Just shut up.

I recently went on a road trip up to New Castle with 3 of my girlfriends for a high school friends engagement party. Hilarious is an understatement. All four of us packed into a car for over 12 hours was either going to be crazy fun or end up a murder scene. Thankfully no one ended up dead, we did however fight over music genres, who got front seat and drove 2 hours in the wrong direction – oops.
Keeping your healthy eating habits while you're cruising the roads can be tough. Summer vibes, good tunes and making memories should be all you need to worry about! Unfortunately, it can be rather easy to quickly and mindlessly over eat on all the wrong kinds of foods while you're trekking. Pair this with the long hours of sitting and you've got the perfect combo for an unhappy and sluggish body.
With that in mind, I've put together a few tips, tricks and ideas for you to keep healthy on the road! There's no need to jeopardise your long term goals for a short term splurge. Here goes!
Plan Ahead
You've heard it before but I'll say it again! Fail to prepare, prepare to fail. If you aren't prepared before you set off on your road trip you're already behind the 8 ball. My suggestion? The night before, pack yourself plenty of snacks and meals that are car friendly to stop yourself from unnecessarily buying things from the fast food/petrol stations along the way. Some of my top road trip snacks would be:
- Fresh fruit
- Nuts/Seeds
- Maxine's Protein Bars
- Maxine's Protein Shake n Take
- Dark chocolate
- Cruskits/Rice cakes
- Air popped pop corn
Stay Hydrated
As silly as it may sound, it's so easy to become dehydrated on a road trip. The culprit? Lots of snacking, usually on foods higher in salt and sugar; lots of coffee too keep us 'energised' for the long road ahead. Try to skip on the caffeine, juices and soft drinks and opt for water instead! As much as everyone will hate you for all the pee breaks, your body will thank you I promise!
Keep Moving
As tough as it may be, try to keep moving. I made an effort to stretch, do some star jumps and even a couple of burpees each stop we made. Not only will it wake you up and make you feel more energised, but every rep counts for something.
Make the best out of the worst
I know it can be hard sometimes to make perfectly healthy choices. Sometimes you're stranded in the middle of no where and the only thing in sight is a dodgy looking petrol station. I get it. So what I suggest is you make the best food choices you can at the time. Opt for air popped lightly salted popcorn instead of regular chips. A protein bar instead of a chocolate bar. Water instead of fruit juice or soft drink. Keep in mind that you're going to be using minimal energy while sitting in the car! Choose healthy options while eating out too! Go for something that has a nice balance of fats, protein and carbs.
Active Activities
Planning activities along the way can be such a fun way to keep active. Whether it's a hike, bike ride, rope climb or in my case… sand boarding, yup you heard right, sand boarding. You'll be getting your heart pumping, and legs moving without even realising.
What are your favourite ways to keep healthy on the road? I'd love to know!

Now you might look at this and think, "What in the world?!!!"
But let me tell you, it was FUN, educational and crazy easy to set up and then tear down. :)
Yeah, but WHAT is it???
Well, you take a ball and make a track for it with toilet paper tubes!
We thought it was fun to make gaps in our track--it increased the challenge and it was fun to see it soar from place to place. It was fun to watch my kids giggle and squeal and also learn little feats of engineering as they modified the track to make it work.
The extra fun part was how we made two beginnings that converged together towards the end. You can see it at the bottom of this next image.
So fun for all ages!
I think we have the worlds' most well-loved toilet paper tubes. For real! We just keep a ton of them for random activities like this.
My kids always think they are crazy-fun to paint and decorate.
We've also made sculptures from the toilet paper tubes:
And we've made monsters from the tubes:
Who knew toilet paper tubes could be so fun and so educational. :)

JOHANNESBURG - In the last decade, the nation of Angola has pulled off what some experts consider an economic miracle, transforming itself from a nation torn apart by a brutal civil war into sub-Saharan Africa's third largest economy.
Describing this conversion as nothing short of unimaginable, the University of Oxford lecturer has written a new book exploring its meteoric rise, Magnificent and Beggar Land: Angola Since the Civil War.
"Angola had a civil war that lasted for 41 years and that killed a million people. By the end of it, obviously, Angola was in tatters. What happened over the subsequent decade was absolutely extraordinary," he told VOA ahead of a talk in Johannesburg. "The economy of Angola multiplied 10-fold. It's the greatest growth story in the world in the early 21st century."
Not so fast, say critics of Angola's government, who accuse officials of being increasingly repressive, and describe the growth as grossly unequal.
Earlier this month, Angolan authorities beat up and set police dogs on mothers of political prisoners who had gathered for a march in the capital. Their children had been arrested for participating in a book club discussion on peaceful protest of tyrannical governments.
"The government continues targeting outspoken journalists and activists with criminal defamation lawsuits, arbitrary arrests, unfair trials, intimidation, harassment, and surveillance," Human Rights Watch said in its 2015 report. "The police use excessive force and engage in arbitrary arrests to stop peaceful anti-government protests and other gatherings."
Oil boosts growth rate
Throughout, growth has continued unabated. Angola's massive oil wealth — it is the second-biggest oil producer in Africa behind Nigeria — still gave the nation a growth rate of 4.7 percent in 2014 despite falling global prices.
Angolan activists have said the growth fails to benefit everyone, echoing World Bank estimates that indicate a third of Angolans remain in poverty.
Elias Isaac, the Angola program manager for the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa, says post-war Angola had nowhere to go but up even if that development left too many people behind by largely benefiting those with government ties.
Development, he said, "was necessary, but the problem is the way it was done. It came at the cost of a lot of people [who] have been completely marginalized and excluded from this process."
Is it development at all?
Journalist and activist Rafael Marques de Morais, whose critical coverage of the government landed him in court, says he was recently convicted and given a six-month suspended jail term for defaming military officials in a book that uncovered abuses in the nation's diamond fields.
He continues to be an outspoken critic of the government and what he describes as the "so-called development" it has brought to Angola.
"What development?" he said. "That's the question we have to ask. When you build high-rises in Africa — especially in countries like Angola, where there are so many — people tend to believe that the high-rises translate into development, but that's not true.
"It has the highest child mortality rate in the world, worse than Afghanistan," he added. "What development is that that we cannot provide the basics to save children?"
In his view, that is the question confronting Angolans who find themselves surrounded by glittering high-rises and meteoric development while still mired in poverty.

Are Accounting Fees Tax Deductible?
The Internal Revenue Service is the arbiter of the tax code as authorized by the Congress. Through its publications and rulings, the IRS interprets the tax code and has the authority to allow or deny deductions to income reported by individuals and businesses. Accounting fees are at the heart of calculating income and taxes due. The lack of clarity in the code keeps tax preparers in business.
Is It Ordinary?
An expense is deductible if it is considered ordinary to the course of business. In other words, can you do business in some other way as to avoid the expense. The code provides a lot of latitude in determining what is ordinary, which provides plenty of opportunity for negotiation. Accounting services fit the ordinary definition. Without them, a person or company may not be able to accurately calculate their income.
Is It Necessary?
A second consideration for an allowable deduction is whether the expense is necessary to the conduct of business. While taking the employees out for ice cream each week may not be necessary, accounting fees are. In fact, the complexity of the tax code seems to insure that these fees are absolutely necessary. Every business owner cannot be expected to have intimate knowledge of the tax code.
Is It Reasonable?
Ordinary and necessary are the first two requirements of any deductible business expense. Reasonableness is another measure more difficult to quantify. Using normally legitimate deductions to offset other income and reduce the tax liability created by that income may not be allowed. Sheltering income through the use of specific tactics that have no other purpose was a fad in previous years that caused many taxpayers fortunes in penalties. Reasonableness is a topic that can be discussed with a certified public accountant or licensed tax attorney.
How Much Are the Fees?
The tax code and instructions for tabulating income and taxes due repeatedly reference accounting for transactions. Logically, that indicates the ordinary and necessary character of accounting fees. providing further proof that accounting fees are an ordinary and necessary expense and thus fully tax deductible. The amount of the fees though may be questioned and should be discussed with your tax preparer.

In the past I have blogged about ways to turn any blog post into a PDF using Readability. This is great because YOU are the one in control – you need not depend on the blogger to make it happen. But as a blogger I wanted to add something for my readers that was easy. I found a useful plug-in for WordPress called PrintFriendly. Even better, it is available for a number of platforms, so all you Blogger bloggers can use it too.
Just select the platform you use and follow the simple instructions. Once you do, here is what it looks like on my WordPress blog:
If you click that button, you get the option to create a print-friendly page without all the clutter at the top, bottom and sides – that looks like this, for a recent post (and you can see the page here for comparison):
See at the top? you can print the page, you can tick REMOVE IMAGES to print just the text (which seems not useful for most things I do, but you never know…)
or create a PDF – and that offers you a fair few options that YOU control
I've not explored all the options, but will do someday when I have the time.
Now, this is clearly dependant on the blogger (i.e. ME, in this case) adding that button for you. But if YOU are a blogger and want to make it easy for your readers to print and/or save a post as a PDF, you can add this button. I know on WordPress there is a way you can add the button just on specific posts – so if I did a very long and detailed post, on a technique, or a tutorial for something like a mini-album, I could opt to add that button. People who wanted to could create a PDF or print the post easily, rather than me creating a PDF myself. Not all posts are worthy of printing or PDFing LOL! but for example, what about a crochet pattern? Might be nice to have it as a PDF rather than a cluttered page print, yes?
I'll probably point out the button in posts that I think people might like to convert or print, but it'll be there on every post.

Expelling Hope: The Assault on Youth and the Militarization of Schooling

The title of this book could aptly describe the effects of the policy turns likely to take place under Barack Obamas Secretary of Education selection of Arne Duncan. If Obamas campaign was run on the promise of hope, then Duncan represents a disturbing expelling of it. Under Duncans leadership of the Chicago Public Schools, Chicago became the most militarized system in the nation, creating not only the most public schools run as military academies, but also the aggressive expansion of draconian punitive measures and technologies aimed at students, teachers, administrators, teachers unions, and local school councils. As students were treated to record numbers of suspensions, metal detectors, police presence, and military personnel, the system as a whole was essentially turned over to the private sector through the Renaissance 2010 plan which was designed by the Commercial Club of Chicago for the mayor and implemented by Duncan. The Renaissance plan to... (preview truncated at 150 words.)

They see it as a slight -- an unpardonable, unforgiveable offense that is harming U.S.-Israeli relations. Or something.
The Times of Israel reports:
The White House's outrage over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to speak before Congress in March — a move he failed to coordinate with the administration — began to seep through the diplomatic cracks on Friday, with officials telling Haaretz the Israeli leader had "spat" in President Barack Obama's face.
"We thought we've seen everything," the newspaper quoted an unnamed senior US official as saying. "But Bibi managed to surprise even us.
"There are things you simply don't do. He spat in our face publicly and that's no way to behave. Netanyahu ought to remember that President Obama has a year and a half left to his presidency, and that there will be a price," he said.
Hold up. A foreign leader's decision to accept a formal invitation to address members of Congress, by the US Speaker of the House, is equivalent to an act of pure insolence and disrespect? I don't think so. After all, he was invited.
In fairness to the White House, however, they were not conferred at all about the impending visit (White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest called the invitation "a departure from...protocol") and they will certainly not like what he has to say when he's here. But that isn't the reason he will be denied a warm diplomatic welcome in March. No sir. We can thank politics for that.
Still, the White House is incensed for other reasons. They argue that with a big election around the corner, House Republicans are boosting Netanyahu's chances of winning re-election by giving him a plum speaking slot right before Israelis head to the polls. Even so, shouldn't the White House direct their threats of retribution at…House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH)? He's the one who reportedly made the decision to invite Netanyahu without consulting a single Democrat.
It'd be interesting to know or find out who this so-called "Senior US Official" is barking threats at the leader of Israel, our only democratic ally in the Middle East. But I suspect the answer to that question will always remain a mystery.

He attended medical school at the University of Massachusetts in Worcester during which he took a year off in Paris where he improved his cooking skills working as an au pair... and somehow survived. Mallon completed an EM Residency at LAC+USC, which led to 14 years with the Residency Office. Afterwards he worked with Cal/ACEP, was president of the chapter, spent a sabbatical year in Santiago de Chile in EM development. He's been apart of EMA's faculty for almost 20 years and has lectured at every Essentials to date.
Dr. Mattu has received more than a dozen teaching awards including national teaching awards from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the American Academy of Emergency Medicine (AAEM), and in 2000 he was selected as Founder's Day Teacher of the Year for the University of Maryland at Baltimore campus. He received the 2005-2006 Rookie Faculty of the Year Award and the Outstanding Speaker of the Year Award from ACEP, the 2006 Program Director of the Year Award from the AAEM Resident and Student Association, the 2007 Maryland Emergency Physician of the Year Award from the Maryland Chapter-ACEP, and the 2008 Joe Lex National Educator of the Year Award from AAEM. Dr. Mattu is a frequent speaker at national and international CME conferences on diverse medical topics and faculty development.
A multiple award winning educator and lecturer, Dr. Orman is the host of Essentials of Emergency Medicine and the ERcast podcast where he distills complex ideas into useable nuggets. His goal with ERcast is to demystify aspects of medicine that make us anxious, normalize the seeming insanity of the job, and dissect the practices and thought processes of masters in the field.
Salim completed his medical school training at Texas A&M Health Science Center, and continued his medical education with a combined Emergency Medicine/Internal Medicine residency at East Carolina University. Currently, he works as a community emergency physician at Greater San Antonio Emergency Physicians (GSEP), where he is the director of clinical education. Salim is also the creator and founder of REBEL EM and REBEL Cast, a free critical appraisal blog and podcast that try to cut down knowledge translation of research to bedside clinical practice.
Dr. Shoenberger is an Associate Professor of Clinical Emergency Medicine at the the University of Southern California Keck School of Medicine. She is currently the Residency Director at LAC+USC. Her interests include Palliative Care, end-of-life issues, pain management and EM resident education. A Southern California native, Shoenberger likes to cook (and eat), play with her 2 big dogs, 2 small nephews and travel. "I love anything involving animal rescue, live music and coconut. What I don't love are litterbugs, closed minds, and lines at the airport."
Mike Stone is an emergency physician (and recovering academic) living in Portland, Oregon with his wife, kids and part-coyote, his interests include good food, good music, good company, and teaching point-of-care ultrasound to anyone who'll listen.
Anand "Swami" Swaminathan is a New Jersey Native who completed his EM training at Bellevue hospital in NYC where he stayed on as faculty. He is a big supporter of the FOAMed movement and uses it to cut knowledge translation. Much of his time goes into the Core EM blog, an educational website focused on core content EM. He is an assistant editor for REBEL EM and course director for The Teaching Course. Outside of EM, he enjoys distance running and building Legos with his kids (Matt 8, Maya 5 and Luke 2). Follow Swami on twitter @EMSwami.
Scott is an ED Intensivist from New York. He did fellowships in Trauma, Surgical Critical Care, and ECMO. He is best known for talking to himself about Resuscitation and Critical Care on a podcast called EMCrit, which has been downloaded > 20 million times.
Mike is the Associate Program Director at the Adena Emergency Medicine Residency and Professor of Emergency Medicine, Adjunct at the Wexner Medical Center at The Ohio State University. He has lectured nationally and internationally on medical topics and patient safety issues and is the editor-in-chief for UC RAP, the risk management section editor for EM RAP, and has contributed to ERCast and Risk Management Monthly. He is the author of the Bouncebacks! series of books and with Scott Weingart and Kevin Klauer published Bouncebacks! Critical Care in 2019.

.12 DWI BAC test DISMISSED
Be armed with the most knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer available if you find yourself entangled in our legal system
Posted by Jay Fathom
The laws in Texas, from the state level all the way to the county courts and city courts can be extremely complex to the laymen who run afoul of the rules and regulations. If you count yourself in this group of individuals, then be prepared for a maze so complex that it requires legal specializations that even the most wary among us are unable to understand.
But, whatever you have heard and considered, never throw yourself on the mercy of the court for justice. The attorneys at the Law Office of Shawn C. Brown are more than adept to assist our clients with whatever legal challenges that even the best of us are often entangled in.
Despite the challenges that they face on a daily basis, the team of criminal defense attorneys headed by Shawn Brown have closed out the month of May with an undeniably adept defense of their clients in local court settings.
One client, who had his blood drawn following a DWI stop wherein the BAC level was a 0.12, was involved in a harrowing automobile accident that resulted from speeds reaching approximately 100 mph. The client also hit a dip in the road causing to crash into a dwelling. That instance in itself is no doubt a challenge in local courts. But coupled with the fact that the client's car burned to the ground, along with the structure where he came to a rest, all presented an even bigger challenge to the attorneys.
Nonetheless, Shawn, along his with his co-counselors, Adrian Flores and Bryan Orihel, were able to keep the court's expert witness from testifying in this case. In addition, our attorneys were also able to keep any blood evidence out of the trial. Because of winning these pre trial motions and keeping the evidence out, the prosecutor found there was no recourse but to dismiss the case because they were unable to prove DWI.
Another case before the Brown team was a DWI breath test of 0.95. Bryan picked a jury and started the trial. But because of the testimony that was provided by the arresting officer, the duo was successful in having the prosecutor dismiss the case. Attention to detail and an eye for reading the individual has again proved fruitful for our team of San Antonio criminal defense attorneys.
Yet another case involving a client who had a DWI blood draw of 0.12, Bryan was able to show the prosecutor that had no case and the prosecutor agreed, ultimately dismissing this DWI case before it even took wing.
Shawn was also involved in a possession of controlled substance with a case involving the possession of cocaine. Shawn met with the prosecutor and showed them that they would not be able to prove that his client was in possession of the drugs as indicated in the arrest report. Ultimately, the prosecutor agreed with Shawn and dismissed the case against his client.
And closing out the week ending on May 29, the Law Office of Shawn C. Brown took on an assault bodily Injury case. This time Adrian Flores exposed the deficiencies in the complaining witness's story and showed the prosecution that they had no case. The prosecutor ultimately agreed with Adrian and therefore dismissed the case.
If you or someone you know needs the services of a law firm that will put your interests above theirs, then consider hiring someone from the Brown law firm. Their actions certainly speak louder than words, and they will be there with you every step of the way when you need them.

Virginia beach: Day 6
It was time for my last meal in Virginia Beach. The other folks from my table decided to join me for what would turn out to be the best meal I had all week. Some of the locals in our group had recommended this place to me, with the information that getting in is kind of a challenge considering they were featured on FoodNetwork. I had mentioned I was a food blogger, big fan of FN, and a foodie. I decided to wait for my last meal, afraid that if I went the first day, I'd want to go every single day and run out of money. I'm glad I waited…it was worth the wait.
Overall: 4.75 out of 5
Food/Beverage: 4.5 out of 5
Ambiance: 5 out of 5
Value: 4.5 out of 5
Service: 5 out of 5
Guy Fieri visited Citrus and rated it as 4 stars. He ordered the citrus glazed pancakes topped with banana and pineapple. Sounded good, but pancakes don't make me feel full so I went another direction.
I decided to start with the She Crab Soup, to top off the week of soup and pie. This one was exceptional. No frills or fancy stuff, just some parsley and a cracker wrapped in plastic. At $4.99, I thought the portion size was good, and the pieces of crab were plentiful. Overall, this was a great bowl of soup.
For my main, I ordered the fish tacos and felt like I had finally found what a fish taco was supposed to taste like. The fish was lightly pan fried and topped with a mango jalapeño salsa, lettuce, onions and a little sour cream. They were served with homemade chips. Perfectly fried, perfectly seasoned chips. I ate the whole dish, which I almost never do. I did pay the price of all those chips for the next 24 hours, but it was worth it.
The other people in my party ordered breakfast items, and loved every single bite. One of my dining companions actually said "I'm not leaving this table until my plate is clean. I will eat every bite of this." And she did.
We were in a bit of a hurry, but our awesome waitress was kind enough to bring our check AS she brought our food so we could leave just as soon as we had shoved the tasty morsels in our mouths.
If I ever return to Virginia Beach, I will go back to Citrus and hopefully order the same exact meal.

Rules of Engagement
Teamwork is hard, but a winning team culture helps a lot. Collaboratively define the social norms that'll become your team's customized secret sauce.
- Codify your team's values and build team culture.
- Openly discuss the practices, results, and behaviors you expect from one another.
If you're struggling with Health Monitor, running this play might help.or on your
6 - 8
30 min
Running the play
Run this play on it's own, or run an abbreviated version as part of a Project Kick-off session.
Butcher's paper
Sticky notes in several colors
Step 1
Set the stage (5 min)
Tape a piece of butcher's paper to the wall and write "Rules of engagement" at the top. Don't use a whiteboard – it's important to have this in a detachable, portable format.
Explain that you're going to collectively articulate the kind of behaviour and results the team can expect from each other. In effect, you'll be establishing a sub-culture for your team that fits within the larger culture of the company.
Step 2
Brainstorm team culture ideas (10 min)
Ask the question: "What are the rules that we want the whole to abide by? And do you as an individual prefer to work a certain way?" All participants then write their responses in the form of rules – one per sticky note – and put them on one main piece of butcher's paper.
As a facilitator, model what you're after by writing and sticking up an easy example (e.g. "Be on time", "Listen to each other", "Use shared docs or group chat instead of email whenever possible", "Thoughtfully challenge", etc)
Expect to see responses along the lines of...
- We grow through sharing
- Be open to new ideas, even if they run counter to one of your "darlings"
- Constantly seek to improve
- Honour commitments
- If you foul something up, you'll lead the effort to un-foul it (but it's cool to ask for help)
- Nerf dart battles only after 4pm
- Headphones on = please don't interrupt me
- We observe "no-meeting Thursdays" with religious devotion
As people add their stickies, group similar ideas together so it's easier to discuss them later.
For example...
Here are some ideas posted up by one of our teams in San Francisco.
Step 3
Talk amongst yourselves (10 min)
Look at the groupings to see where there's already broad agreement, and quickly confirm those points with the team. Most of this time should be spent discussing contentious or confusing (or contradictory) ideas. Don't gloss over this part. It's important to leave this play with agreement and commitment from all team members, so embrace friction and a bit of healthy debate.
Allow each team member time to comment on their sticky notes. Prompt each team member to talk about what is most important to them, and why. However ultimately drive towards consensus.
Step 4
Bring it to life (5 min)
Spend the final 5 mins of the session to discuss how you'll bring this to life. What actions will this take in reality? How will you accommodate the different workstyle preferences you've just uncovered? Do you have to re-schedule the daily stand-up to a more suitable time? Does the agenda of your weekly project team meeting change? etc.
Boil it down into things you'll do or changes you'll make. Then agree on any next steps to make it real.
Nailed it?
Be sure to run a full Health Monitor session or checkpoint with your team to see if you're improving.
Got a long term cross-team project you're kicking off? Run this play to establish the norms you'll follow.
It works for temporary situations, too. Run it at the beginning of a multi-day offsite or any time your team is taking a break from your routine way of working.
Follow through on your next steps (obviously). Also, hang the butcher's paper in your team's area. If you have remote team members, snap a photo and put it on the front page of your team's space or project page in Confluence.
Have it handy at various pulse-checking points like Health Monitor sessions or retrospectives.

It's been ages since I blogged, so apologies for that. I'm at Oracle Openworld 2011 this week, and I was helping out on the Solaris booths in the DemoGrounds. One of the people I talked to asked a question, which I've heard internally at Oracle a few times recently. That is "How can I package up my own app as an IPS package?" I've answered it a few times, and so suddenly it struck me as a good subject for a blog.
Most of this information is available either in the documentation, or other blogs, but this is also for me to reference back to (rather than my notes)
With IPS, packages are published to a repository (or repo). This can either be a
special pkg web server or simply a directory. For simplicity I've used
the latter
$ export PKGREPO=/path/to/repo
$ pkgrepo create $PKGREPO
This populates the $PKGREPO with the required repository structure, you only need to do this once.
Packages are described by manifests. You need one per package. If you have existing System V packages, you can
allow the tools to generate it all for you, but simply passing the
SystemV package file in the a tool called pkgsend
$ pkgsend generate sysvpkg > sysvpkg.mf
However, often my own tools are just added manually by hand or archived together with tar. So if I want to turn those in to an IPS package, I need to create my own manifest. Again fortunately pkgsend can help, but you'll need to add some details.
So let's assume I've put all my tools in /opt/mytools
$ export ROOT=/opt/mytools
$ pkgsend generate $ROOT > mytools.mf
This manifest needs a line adding to it to describe the package
set name=pkg.fmri \
This states the publisher (tools), package name (mytools) and the version
So once you have the working manifest - and there's a lot more detail we
can add to these, they can be published. (to the $PKGREPO directory we
created earlier)
$ pkgsend publish -s $PKGREPO -d $ROOT mypkg.mf
Note for each successfully published you get a "Published" message,
but silent failure (exit code is 1 though so it can be detected in a script)
You can then add the repo you've just populated to your test machine. You'll need to do this a as a privileged user, such as root
# pkg set-publisher -O $PKGREPO tools
and add a package
# pkg install mytools Packages to install: 1

Package State Update Phase 1/1

So this is now installed on my system. There are so many interesting things you can add to the manifest, that if you're interested, I'll try to blog about in the future. However one thing I've glossed over here is the package version. It's surprisingly important that you understand what you set that to, so I'll make that the subject of a future blog.

I realise this is going to be difficult to identify or advise on simply from a couple of pictures, but any help would be much appreciated.
We are first time buyers and have found a suitable house that has recently been reduced for sale. With that in mind, we now have an agreed price pending survey.
Unfortunately, we have been advised by someone that the brickwork above the front door is bowing, I have attached a picture below for you to see, I took these pictures prior to knowing about any potential problem so havn't got any more detailed images.
The rear has been repointed, again see the picture.
Looking at these, would they strike alarm bells? I realise that they may or may not come up on a general survey. We have agreement from the lender that they will perform a survey for free. Have also agreed with the mortgage provide to delay searches until the survey is complete.
The vendor said in 26 years they had no structural issues, the repointing was done 'because it needed doing', they also had the cavaties cleared and a bit of damp fixed under the front bay window.
The street has low risk of subsidence according to homecheck.
Thanks again for any input.

Humming with activity till Saturday morning, Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate L K Advani's residence wore a deserted look as news of the National Democratic Alliance's poor showing in the Lok Sabha polls trickled in.
Since morning, a frenzied media stationed itself outside the 30, Prithviraj Road residence and a number of BJP leaders like Rajnath Singh went into a huddle at Advani's residence.
Terming the results as 'unexpected', a disappointed Singh said, "The party will analyse the results in detail."
A visibly disappointed Venkaiah Naidu refused to speak to the media, but informed reporters that the parliamentary board of the party will react to the results later in the evening.
The scene outside Advani's residence, where no BJP supporter was present, was in total contrast with that of 10 Janpath, which has been buzzing with activity as the Congress is set to retain power at the Centre.
As the buzz about the BJP forming the government died down, even media people started leaving the place.
"He has lost the plot, there is no point in waiting here," said a TV journalist who has been covering the BJP for the last couple of years.
The security personnel at Advani's residence were also disappointed.
"Sweets are being distributed at 10 Janpath, but there is nothing here...Advani will not become PM this time too," a disheartened security personnel said.
"A group of people with drums and other musical instruments were supposed to come here but now they have been asked not to come," another security personnel said.


text: Sections View Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Full Chapter Figures Tables Videos Supplementary Content ++ NEONATAL T-CELL FUNCTION ++ T cells are major effector cells of the adaptive immune response from influencing antibody production to maintaining tolerance. The defining marker of the T cell is the T-cell receptor (TCR), and 2 distinct T-cell subsets have been characterized based on the structure of the TCR: TCRα/β and TCRγδ. The specificity of the TCRα/β T-cell repertoire is established during fetal development of the thymus, which develops at week 6 of gestation. Immature thymic cells develop from fetal liver cells and, after birth, from hematopoetic stem cells (HSCS) in the bone marrow. T cells develop from common lymphoid progenitor cells derived from HSCs within the thymus and undergo stages of differentiation, expressing 1 or both of the cytodifferentiation (CD) antigens CD4 and CD8. T cells expressing the α/β TCR are divided into various subsets based on surface CD antigens and function. CD4+ T cells, or helper T cells (TH), make up approximately 70% of T cells in the peripheral blood. TH cells recognize foreign antigens processed and presented in major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and can be divided into additional subsets. TH1 CD4+ T cells produce interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and IL-2, favor antibody class switching to immunoglobulin (Ig) G2, and mediate protection against intracellular pathogens. TH2 CD4+ T cells produce IL-4, IL-13, and IL-5, favor class switching to IgG1 and IgE, and participate in atopic diseases and immunity against parasites. More recently, additional subsets of CD4+ T cells have been described that have effector functions against extracellular microbes: TH9 cells produce the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and are involved in the host defense against nematodes, whereas TH17 cells secrete IL-17, IL-21, and IL-22 and promote protective immunity against extracellular bacteria and fungi at mucosal surfaces. CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize endogenous proteins bound to MHC class I molecules, such as viral and tumor antigens, and mediate cytotoxicity by lysing altered or nonself cells. A third class of T cells (typically CD4+) with immune suppressive function are denoted as regulatory T cells (Treg) and can be identified (albeit with some exception) by the expression of the transcription facto FOXP3 (forkhead box P3). Treg cells are produced directly from the thymus (natural Treg) or induced within the periphery (induced Treg) and play major roles in mediating chronic inflammation, allergic disease, and autoimmunity.1 ++ T-cell dysfunction in neonates has implications for a variety of responses and disease states. Infants are more susceptible to infectious agents, and according to the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, approximately 2.5 million infants under the age of 1 die annually of infection. Infants are also less responsive to vaccination. In vaccinated infants, immunity wanes around 6–9 months after vaccination, and multiple booster shots are needed to maintain immunological memory.2 Historically, the function of neonatal T cells has been considered ...

Saturday 09 March 2019 at the Titus Brandsma Memorial Church 07:00pm: Ordination of Icons & Byzantine Orthodox Mass. Celebrant: Ton Sip. Nijmegen Byzantine Choir, conductor Svetlana van Wielink.
The essence of the icon is most evident to us at the liturgy of the signaling of the icons, that is, the sacred act performed by the priest, making a painted icon suitable for ecclesiastical use. This ordination is absolutely necessary, for it is the ecclesiastical confirmation of the identity between the painted image and the heavenly primal picture. The current liturgy of the icons of ordination clearly shows traces of the conflicts that have raged in the Church in the time of the Iconoclasm. Also in the 7th and 8th century, the opponents of the sacred images mainly appealed to the second of the Ten Commandments (Ex.20,4): "Thou shalt not make unto thee images of God, nor any image of that which is in heaven above on the earth below, or in the water under the earth! "and they had seen in the veneration of images in the Orthodox Church a crime against the express prohibition of God. According to their conception, the worship of the images implied that God would fall short in the honor that belongs to him alone. On both arguments now the prayers and hymns of the icons of ordination take effect. In the opening prayer one addresses God and then clearly shows that with his prohibition he meant only the production of idols. "You have forbidden by a commandment, images and parables displease You, the true God, to make to worship and serve as the Lord ". After this has been established, however, it is pointed out with all the more emphasis that God himself has commanded "to erect images, by which not the name of strange, false and non-existent gods, but Your most holy and exalted name, that of the any true God is glorified ". As such are mentioned the Ark of the Covenant with the two golden Cherubs, as well as the Cherubs of gilded cypress wood, which had to be applied to the temple of Solomon by God's command. Thus, after the abolition of false image and idol worship, God himself started to portray the mysteries of his realm. The most lofty image of itself – so the ordination prayer continues – God has accomplished in his incarnation, through the incarnation of his Son, who is the "Image of the invisible God" Koll.1,15) and the "irradiation of his Glory "(Heb.1,3). God himself "the sculptor of the whole visible and invisible creation" has portrayed himself in Jesus Christ, his perfect icon. The incarnation of the Son is the image that God has made of himself. Thus God himself is the creator of the first icon, who manifested himself to us in the form of Christ.
Now follows the most striking and for us West-Europeans most unexpected phrase: from Christ himself, the image of the Father, we have, it is said, a detailed, "not man-made" image, on which the facial features of the God-man have been preserved. Here the liturgy alludes to the already mentioned miraculous image, which Christ sent to King Abgar of Edessa, as well as to the tradition of the sweat, with which Christ on his way to Calvary wiped his face and on which the image of his countenance was miraculously left behind. Christ himself has thus made the first Christ icon and thereby legitimized both the painting of icons and the icon worship – this argument is therefore used against the first objection of the opponents of icons.
The second objection of the opponents, that God is shortened by the worship of the sacred image in the honor that belongs to him alone, is refuted by another viewpoint, which is entirely developed from the neo-Platonic reflection on the images: "We idolize the icons do not, but know that the honor, which is proved to the image, rises to the depicted being ". Not the image as such is the object and receiver of worship, but the depicted being that appears in it. In the prayers for intercession, for example, one finds the explicit request that the images should not tempt anyone, to only accept the worship that comes to God as the origin of all holiness.

We use at when referring to a specifc time. For example:

- I met him at five o'clock on a Monday.
(One down and sixteen to go. (Ron can't count.))
What do this mean?(One down and sixteen to go. (Ron can't count.))
It's a joke (and bad one). Tdol listed seven different prepositions, and I commented on one of them. (Actually, two.) That left six, but I said there were sixteen to go. Obviously, I can't count. :wink:Originally Posted by o_cat

According to other scientific studies:
Pessimists are more likely than optimists to suffer from a number of health issues. According to the Women's Health Initiative, they are more likely to smoke, be sedentary or overweight and have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or depressive symptoms.
Women who communicated high levels of cynical hostility were 16 percent more likely to die over the 8 years of the study.
A study published in Brain, Behavior and Immunity found that higher levels of pessimismwere linked to unfavorable immune system changes.
Benefits of Finding the Silver Linings*
Looking on the bright side and focusing on the silver linings of a negative experience has many benefits:
Research shows that optimism is linked to lower rates of depression, a better ability to cope with stress and greater relationship satisfaction. And, optimists generally do better in school, work, and extracurricular activities. They also often perform better than predicted on aptitude tests, are more likely to win elections when they run for office, have better overall health. And, they may even live longer.
Harvard University School of Public Health researchers reviewed data from more than 200 studies on this subject. They found that a positive psychological outlook appears to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular events. And, specifically, optimism, life satisfaction and happiness are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, regardless of age, socioeconomic status, body weight and smoking history.
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center tracked the psychological and physical health of hospitalized heart disease patients over a 15-year period. They discovered that individuals who were optimistic about their diagnosis, treatment and recovery were more likely to be alive after 15 years than individuals with lower expectations. The researchers noted that the level of optimism displayed by patients did not have to be extreme to have an effect.
"That", says Seligman, "is the incredible power of positive thinking."
However, some people can be excessively optimistic and develop a Pollyanna attitude. In other words, they are overly confident that good things will always happen to them and they'll find something good in everything. Another possible detrimental outcome would be thinking that they're immune to anything negative in the present or future. As a result, they may not take care of themselves or care about anyone else.
Four Steps to Practice Finding the Silver Linings
The Greater Good in Action organization (Science-Based Practices for a Meaningful Life) was referenced in an earlier issue of our newsletter, with a focus on choosing positivity. In this article, the results of their study have been included as relates specifically to finding the silver lining. Here are their four steps to practice doing just that:
List five things that make you feel like your life is enjoyable, enriching, and/or worthwhile at this moment. They can be general (e.g., good health, close friends) or more specific (e.g., dancing with Julia at La Bamba, dinner with my roommates at Panera). This step can help you shift into a positive state of mind about life in general.
Think about the most recent time when something didn't go your way, or when you felt frustrated, irritated, or upset.
Briefly describe the situation, in a few sentences.
List three things that can help you see the bright side of any situation.
Here's an example: You get stuck in traffic and you're late for work. As a result, you miss an important meeting. Here are three ways you can look on the bright side of this situation:
"I may have been stuck, but I didn't get into an accident."
"One of my associates will be in that meeting, and he will take notes for me."
"I got to listen to my favorite music on the radio."
The Greater Good in Action organization recommends you practice that exercise 10 minutes a day for three weeks. Participants who did so reported:
Greater engagement in life
Less dysfunctional thinking
Fewer depressive symptoms
Greater motivation to go after their goals

Look into your photograph, go deeper than it's content.
Examine the composition of your image. Go beyond it's immediate pictorial display. Look into the basic structure and you will be able to break your picture down into its component parts. Understanding individual "Visual Elements" in an image can help you to capture the eye of the viewer. It's these elements that make the eye work to absorb the content of an image.
What are the 'Visual Elements'?
We make sense of the world by building a picture of it in our heads. We recognise objects in our environment because our eye/brain system is able to see and analyse the edges, contrasts, light/shadow/dark, colours and perspectives we see on and between them. Our ability to analyse these patterns gives us an understanding of the world we see.
To make an image, photographers look for strong visual elements through the lens. Then we strive to use them for the picture. A great deal of the creative work in photography is to remove content that doesn't contribute to the point of an image. So we seek a point of view that isolates what we want to show.
Having isolated distractions the next job is to 'see' the subject in the 'best possible light'. This English idiom is not just waffle (especially for photogs). It is really about using the edges, contrasts, light/shadow/dark, colours and perspectives mentioned above. Finding ways to use these effectively is what will draw the eye in our images.
The Elements of Art
My list of things we physically see is not detailed. It turns out that we can pin-point specific 'visual elements' in a photograph. Research in art has isolated these visual elements. They are called, by artists, "The Elements of Art". There are seven of them…
- Line (The path of a point, or implied path of a point, through space or over a surface.)
- Shape (A two dimensional enclosure created by a single line – may be geometric or freeform.)
- Form (A three dimensional object which has a 'mass' or 'weight'; a shape with depth; physical width/height/depth.)
- Space (Positive space: the subject or dominant object in the picture plane; Negative space: the background area. Space can occupy the outside, inside or surrounds in a depicted object.)
- Value (The brightness/lightness/darkness/colour intensity.)
Examples – a slide show!
Perhaps, some of my definitions above are difficult to understand. If you can put them into context it will help. Here is a short slide show by Kelly Parker. The examples really show the visual elements well. Click the bottom arrows to move back or forward on the slides.
