By James Deng Dimo
WAU – August 23, 2016 [Gurtong] – Governor Acho made his public announcement while address the state government officials, youth and faith groups on the state first steps toward peace with those fighting the government.
"This is the start, I call all the intellectuals, chiefs and the government from the various levels, commissioners and cabinet ministers, including the state commanding officers in order to start the launching of dialogue with these armed opposition forces in the state".
The governor said he had briefed members of his government on the progressive matter to hold the peace talks aiming at ending the suffering of the citizens since the rebellion started in 2012 in former Western Bahr el Ghazal state.
Acho said, after the formation of the committee that would go and meet the opposition group, that the faith group are the most viable figures that would be first consider in the committee.
"We are going to use the religious groups in this peace process plan like what was done in Pibior with cobra faction and the arrow boys in Western Equatoria, areas where peace has now been achieved", said Acho.
The governor also said he had met with the South Sudan President Salva Kiir over the matter and that his peace approach was clearly endorsed by him, giving him a go ahead with the peace process in the region.
"We will send the faith groups as an advance team first to go and meet these people in order for them to explain their demands and what would be the ground solutions and if they return. The state government will again form an inclusive high-level committee that will go back to meet them on the peace talks," he said.

The timeless art of journaling has changed my life. As entrepreneurs we are walking an unbeaten path toward the actualisation of our very own vision and as such we carry the weight of a dream not yet realised.
We get busy. Stuff happens. We lose sleep. More stuff happens. We lose more sleep. People leave. Complaints come. Opportunities arise. And this is how we chose to live our lives, completely in the thick of it all as we walk unapologetically toward our greater self.
Journaling gives us a method to reconnect, rejuvenate and steer ourselves back toward the path we may have temporarily strayed from.
Here are the four keys to journaling successfully:
1. Journal from heart, not by head
Journaling is an art best practiced from heart. This is about processing. Processing thoughts, emotions, challenges and hopes. Let it flow, do not think critically, just let the emotion come through you, into the pen and onto the page. This is about clearing and processing what's going on for you at a human level.
2. Do so in a quiet and secluded space
Whether it's by the beach, in your room, or even in your office with the door shut for 15 minutes, this is about connecting with you. Shut out the noise of the world and listen to yourself.
3. Structure isn't required most of the time
Most of the time when I journal, it is completely unstructured. My journal will often start with, "Life is crazy right now, for the last few days I've been…. and as such I am now feeling…" I usually just start with what is going on, how I am feeling, any challenges I am carrying, exploring solutions and developing the next best steps.
Even when my writing is unstructured, the lose format I naturally follow is:
a) What's going on in my world and in my heart
b) What is challenging me and why
c) What I believe the best solution and path forward is
d) Resolving what I have been exploring and identifying where to begin
When I started journaling this would usually take 8 pages, I now usually get all of that processing done in one page. I have a belief now, having journaled for many years, that there is no problem that can't be solved in one page of my journal. An empowering belief indeed.
4. When to use deliberate structure
On certain occasions like around the turn of the new year, financial year, end of a quarter, or perhaps on holidays, I will deliberately put some structure in to my journaling and ask myself very purposeful questions.
These questions are:
a) Who do I want to be?
In order to live according to our truest purpose, we must remember that all doing comes from being. Who you are and how you're showing up every day is the foundation for everything you're doing.
There is nothing more liberating than sitting where you are right now, looking over the blank canvas of the coming year and asking yourself: "Who do I want to be this year?"
b) What is my truest intention?
Behind every behaviour and every action, there is an intention that is far more powerful than the action itself. I believe in a spiritual sense (although I'm not a religious person, I'm a highly spiritual person) that the universe responds to your intention and what's in your heart, not the mere actions that are showing up on the surface.
c) How am I choosing to do this?
Once you've decided who you want to be and which guiding star you're going to be led by, it's then about bringing this intention into reality by asking yourself: "Which vehicle will I use to do this?"
For many entrepreneurs how we chose to live out our truest intention will often come from the business that we have or want to start.
d) What is the path?
How is what you are doing going to build over the coming year and beyond?
If you were to do some research, look at worlds best practice in whatever it is you're trying to accomplish, and finally sit with it and envisage how you are going to actualise your grandest vision not just in the next 12 months but for the next 5 years, what is the path that you see unfolding in your mind?
What are the four or five core steps to moving you from where you are now to a place of fulfilment and accomplishment in the future?
Align your personality with your purpose and your path, and you become invincible. Your first job is to find why you are here and then to get busy doing it.
e) What is the next best move?
Where do you need to start? Even if the details of the whole path aren't clear, and often they won't be, what can you do with what you have around you right now to start?
With your current knowledge, current resources, current bank balance, what is the best way to begin?
Do that. Do it today.
Other questions I will often ask myself:
a) What am I afraid of? I believe getting right down to the core of a fear, shining a light on it and exploring it is the best way to watch that fear dissolve.
b) How can I better realise my true potential?
c) What in my life would I love to change and how can I make this happen?
d) What in my life could I be really grateful for?
e) How can I be a better leader for all of those around me?
For me journaling is a spiritual practice that has true meditative value. Whenever I put down the pen I feel clear, centred, aligned and empowered. In a world where there is so much noise, to give time and space to your own voice is one of the most beautifully empowering experiences I have found.
Have fun and do it with love.

Although details are few about Colorado medical marijuana dispensary raids yesterday, we're learning more from warrants that name ten "target subjects."
These individuals allegedly violated one or more of the eight priorities listed in an August memo guiding U.S. Attorneys in dealing with state pot laws that contradict federal policy. One of those is money going toward a criminal enterprise -- and named target Juan Guardarrama is better known among high-dollar jewel thieves as "Tony Montana."
Back in June of 2012, Guardarrama was involved in another raid of sorts down in Miami; it was part of an ongoing, four-year investigation into jewelry heists and the selling of hot merchandise.
According to the Miami Herald, Guardarrama, 49, attempted to buy about $500k in what he was told was stolen jewelry from undercover cops in June of last year.
During the transaction, Guardarrama also allegedly explained that he was part of a medical marijuana operation in Colorado. He's said to have asked the cops out of the blue if they could help move "some of his Colorado-grown medical marijuana" into the Sunshine State.
That wasn't all. Guardarrama -- who also went by "Scarface" (Tony Montana was the name of the character played by Al Pacino in the 1983 film of the same name) -- then allegedly told the cops about a business partner he wanted "taken out." He reportedly asked the undercover cops if they would do the job for him.
Instead, Guardarrama was arrested on June 7, 2012 and charged with more than a dozen felony counts.
Marijuana Deals Near You
The arresting documents revealed a lot about Guardarrama. Included in them were several accounts of violence and threats to kill other people, such as a man who supposedly owed him $15,000 in gambling debts.
He later allegedly got into smash-and-grabs, targeting traveling diamond dealers -- and police say he was the ringleader of two separate gangs of Colombian and Cuban jewel thieves beginning around 2005.
Continue for more about Juan Guardarrama and his link to yesterday's raid on medical marijuana dispensaries. Authorities say Guardarrama staked out diamond wholesalers and helped the Colombian gang find and rob the targets. The Cuban gang was better known for breaking into jewelry stores.
In either case, Guardarrama would be the fence who sold the diamonds for a profit. But things started to get hairy as other jewelry thieves began to get arrested. So, authorities say, Guardarrama moved on.
By 2010, Guardarrama had landed in Denver and, according to the state Marijuana Enforcement Division, became licensed to work in the medical marijuana industry.

He was not registered as an owner as of June 2012, when he was arrested. However, as we noted above, he was allegedly bragging about being able to move Colorado herb into Florida. He told the undercovers that he had two warehouses in Colorado and even pulled up a live video feed of one of the grows.
Fast forward to February of this year when Guardarrama pleaded guilty to organizing thefts and reselling millions of dollars of diamonds and other jewels. He was facing up to thirty years in prison, but he received a ten-year sentence, reportedly due in part to his "willingness to cooperate in bringing to justice" to other people involved in the jewel heist.
Could Guardarrama also have squealed on people in the Colorado medical marijuana industry? That's among the many questions that are being asked in the wake of yesterday's raids.

Outturn Report 2018/19 PDF 372 KB
To consider the Outturn Report for 2018/19.
Additional documents:
The committee received a report which contained financial performance and position information for Dorset Council's six predecessor authorities for the year ended 31 March 2019. The report summarised the performance against budget and the impact this had had on each council's closing position. It also set out the impact of the outturn and other relevant events on general balances, other reserves and the financial position transferring to Dorset Council on 1 April 2019.
In addition, the report described work in progress to transition the six sovereign councils' financial positions into a single system and a target date for achieving this.
A presentation was provided at the meeting which outlined the key aspects of the approval process.
Councillors considered the issues arising from the report and presentation and during discussion the following points were raised:
· The Executive Director of Corporate Development provided an update on staffing relevant to the Finance area and paid tribute to officers for the work they had done in preparing the accounts for the former Councils
· Councillor Peter Wharf attended the committee in the absence of the Finance, Commercial and Assets Portfolio Holder
· The role of the Audit and Governance Committee was to seek assurance that the organisation had a proportionate and appropriate level of governance in place for the preparation of the accounts, which included an internal and external audit process. At the meeting, councillors had the opportunity to ask questions of the auditor before a decision was taken to sign off the accounts
· There were a number of qualifications from the External Auditor in some of the accounts and the committee had to make a judgement as to how the recommendations would be taken forward. It was noted that not all accounts could be signed off at this meeting as there were elements of audit work to be completed
· Feedback was also sought from the committee with regard to the process generally and the information required by councillors, which would feed into next year's process
· A question was asked with regard to the transfer of reserves from the former Weymouth and Portland Borough Council to Weymouth Town Council. In response it was confirmed that a number of reserves had been shared with the town council and that the Shadow Executive Committee had agreed to transfer £0.5m to the town council. Some general funding had been set aside for the setting up of the town council with some additional funding earmarked for specific items
· A similar point was raised with regard to Portland Town Council and this would be picked up following the meeting
· In respect of the External Audit report for Dorset County Council, the External Auditor had concluded that expenditure had not been materially mis-stated
· A discussion was held with regard to the figures given in the External Audit report for academies and it was confirmed that the reports contained a best estimate for deficits associated with academies. Evidence would need to be given to Cabinet in respect of this

Internal Audit Annual Opinion Reports 2018/19 for Dorset County Council, Dorset Councils Partnership, Purbeck District Council and East Dorset District Council PDF 103 KB
To receive the Internal Audit Annual Opinion Reports 2018/19 for Dorset County Council, Dorset Councils Partnership, Purbeck District Council and East Dorset District Council.
Additional documents:
The committee was presented with the Internal Audit Annual Opinion Reports for 2018/19 for the predecessor councils comprising Dorset County Council (DCC), Dorset Councils Partnership (DCP), Purbeck District Council (PDC) and East Dorset District Council (EDDC). It was noted that South West Audit Partnership (SWAP) had delivered the Internal Audit services for both DCC and DCP and as such had provided the annual audit opinions contained within the reports for these predecessor councils. The audit opinions for PDC and EDDC had been provided by legacy staff working for those Councils and had been included for reference and completeness purposes. They did not form part of SWAP's internal audit annual opinion.
The overall internal audit assurance opinion for the year, for both the former Dorset County Council (DCC) and Dorset Councils Partnership (DCP) was 'Reasonable', in line with previous years. A caveat was provided to this, in that there were a number of key areas of Children's Services that over the course of the year internal audit were unable to complete audit work, and therefore could only provide limited assurance over this area
The Assistant Director highlighted some key areas from the DCC annual opinion report, including details of two significant risks highlighted by internal audit within the 2018/19 year, as well as four recommendations that had been 'risk accepted' by management.
Members considered the issues arising from the report and a point was raised with regard to instances where there was a differing view between Internal Audit (SWAP) and External Audit (Deloitte) in relation to financial reviews at the former DCP . In response it was noted that Internal Audit and External Audit would approach work with a different scope and that there were some issues that External Audit would cover and there would not be an expectation that these areas would be covered by Internal Audit.
In response to a question, it was noted that there may be a need for a future internal audit review of high cost placements.

MPS Tech, the innovative Business VoIP providers in NY
As one of the leading Business VoIP providers in NY, we are the first choice for our clients when it comes to enhancing their existing communication network to derive maximum benefit. We support our clients in smooth transitioning from their existing communication and network systems to advanced formats, with enhanced quality of voice while monitoring of bugs and exercising damage control measures.
Before the advent of internet telephony or VoIP phone service, telephone systems worked with the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) at the centre of the entire system where calls made over the landline phone – local, STD or ISD – had to pass through this system of circuit switches for establishing connection between end-to-end callers. The system operated on a simplistic principle, was extremely user-friendly and did not require much in terms of investment or technology know-how.
However as the internet evolved and the digital medium became trendy, the business phone systems too underwent a revolution. The internet touched every phase of business functioning, IT systems in companies focused on complete transformation with not much emphasis placed on telephone systems. As a result the phone system of the company failed to be compatible with upgraded computer hardware and software system and hence over a period of time, the system started showing signs of redundancy.
As smart Business VoIP providers in NY, we were one of the first to identify this challenge and accordingly geared ourselves for the new revolution. Our specialized service in this area includes but is not limited to:
- VoIP phone service that functions based on internet technology
- Study the existing business phone systems of the client and design the best VoIP service system to enable smooth transition to VoIP
- We provide suggestions about the best third-party vendors called the Internet Telephony Service Provider.
- Implement hosted VoIP or customized on-the-premise cloud system. The former is when the cloud system is located at the provider's place and the latter is when the system is present on the office premises of the client. It involves higher initial investment and technical expertise but is one the most efficient systems helping businesses perform optimally.
Benefits of VoIP phone service
- Cost effective in the long run: VoIP enables calls to be routed over the internet instead of the traditional PSTN circuit switches. The voice data is converted into smaller voice packets just the way emails, files, videos and other media is handled by internet technology. Handling the voice packet is similar to handling the enterprise software in the sense that they work on the same protocols and infrastructure which means no additional investment to maintain the IT network and the VoIP phone service network.
- With effective integration between systems that use similar technical standards, interoperability can be set up. For example a company website can include a telephone number which can be dialed directly from the browser without using the phone.
- The best part about this network is that the voice packets are not required to follow the same route and can switch to a new route in case one line is down.
- Optimal and efficient performance: The other plus point of this network is that it enables more amount of information to be carried over the network compared to the older version.
- The other high point of the VoIP technology is the portability factor. This means that phone calls can be made from multiple locations using the same telephone device and multiple devices can share the same phone number. In other words, all employees in a business are connected in a way that has never happened before.
As a Business VoIP provider in NY we work around these exclusive aspects to let business houses take advantage of these innovations to make their systems and processes super efficient.
As a premier VoIP service provider in the country, MPS Tech believes in the hand holding process through the entire transition process, from the beginning till the end. With growing awareness amongest clients to use modernized processes and systems like state-of-the-art business phone systems, we at MPS Tech follow dedicated designing and implementation of advanced VoIP technology enabled communication network in the most optimized manner.

No One Place, No One Time-The weaving of imagined cities.
Solo exhibition by Michael Bruce Weston at Steambox Gallery & Studios, School Street, Dublin 8.
27th July-06th August 2017
This Imagined City, a personal project which started at the end of 2013 and is still ongoing, began randomly while waiting in a room. It organically kept growing ever since, and still does. After all, can we ever say when a city is finished, can we fix its boundaries and say, it will not grow or change any further?
And, can we say a city has a memory or many memories?
The experience of cities and their various formations and manifestations cannot be reduced to numerical notation or wording. They invite us to engage, they present the opportunity to wander and wonder and to discover the beauties and rarities which unfold before our senses.
I believe the problem lies primarily in our effort to understand the city as a whole instead of accepting that it is as complex, dynamic and diverse as its inhabitants, as ourselves – as either residents or passers-by; that there can be as many cities as individuals. We can, not only (re)interpret and (re)imagine spaces, but also possible events, conversations… Thus the city can act as a mirror where we reflect our desires, wishes, potentials, and a place of encounters which possibly makes us act upon or say something, or simply remain still and silent.
(…) "Cities, like dreams, are made up of desires and fears, even though the thread of their discourse remains secret, its rules absurd, its perspectives misleading; and every one thing conceals another"(…)1
Starting from an inadvertent place, like the lost voyageur, we find ourselves in the city and we follow the thread of its streets, we stop at any point, sometimes for reasons unknown to us, to then continue, turn in any possible direction, maybe to retrace our steps or just stay where we happen to be, for a while.
"(…)Unfinished city, not due to some imperfection or other, but because its horizon is always felt and never reached. In constant mouvement, it ceaselessly deals its cards, provokes collisions, invents unread rimes and surprising associations. (…)"2
Even though we tend to think of a city as the result of layers of planning through time, and of chance in some cases, none of these explanations suffice to hold it together. As Italo Calvino further says in his book, The Invisible Cities,
(…) "You do not enjoy a city because of its seven or seventy-seven wonders, but because of the answer it offers to one of your questions." 3
The viewer's city is a randomly weaved thread of solids and voids, each one of us will experience it differently, each one of us will give it a different meaning…

Mike Bloomberg will not run for President because he does not want to hurt Hillary Clinton's chances. I thought he was a pretend Republican. Now he's backing a corrupt Democrat.
And he is backing the Democrat hierarchy dating back to Obama's failed presidency.
I never liked Bloomberg. I'm a Jew. He's a Jew. I can vote against my own religion unlike the blacks who vote in mass for Obama.
Bloomberg ridiculously states that Trump "has run the most divisive and demagogic presidential campaign I can remember."
Has he forgotten Hillary's predecessor? Has he forgotten that Obama caused hate between Republicans and Democrats and exacerbated division between the races, causing riots in Ferguson, killings in Baltimore and hatred between cops and blacks?
Obama pretends that he wants to improve black lifestyles but he has caused them to be on the downslide, stuck to food stamps and poverty.
I have gotten into some arguments with blacks who assumed that I was a bigot just because I was white. Before prejudiced Obama, this would have never happened. Obama has returned us to Selma.
Bloomberg, your generosity towards not running for President is actually the stupidity of a man who like Obama does not know the consequences of his minor thoughts.
Bloomberg is a little man with little thoughts. He is smaller than Trump's hands.

While jobs are drying up in the United States, in no small part due to Obama's drilling moratorium, looks like no problem for Mexico to keep people employed, thanks to that same Obama;
Despite President Obama's moratorium on U.S. deepwater drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the U.S. Export-Import Bank intends to guarantee $1 billion in loans to PEMEX, the Mexican state oil company, to bolster the company's oil drilling in the region.
The bank, which is the official American export credit agency
, loaned more than $1 billion to PEMEX in 2009 — when the company was the bank's largest borrower — in support of its drilling activities. That year, the bank also guaranteed two loans totaling $300 million made by a commercial lender.
The latest request comes during a drilling moratorium that was first imposed by Obama in May to find out what was the cause behind the April 20 Deepwater Horizon oil rig explosion killed 11 workers and led to 206 million gallons of oil spewing from BP's undersea well.
After a federal court struck down the ban amid complaints that it threatened thousands of jobs in the offshore oil industry, the Obama administration issued a new moratorium in July on most deep-water drilling activities that is in effect until Nov. 30.
So is there a deal for Mexican oil company PEMEX to hire US oil workers? Or is Mexico where all the rigs are being chased off to? Somebody who is a citizen of this country better start

GLAAD congratulates star and reiterates support
April 7, 1997
LOS ANGELES, APRIL 7, 1997-Ellen DeGeneres, star of ABC-TV's Ellen, "came out of the closet" today in the April 14th issue of Time magazine. Ellen Morgan, the title character on the television program that bears her name, will also announce she is a lesbian on the show's April 30th episode. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) congratulates Ms. DeGeneres and pledges continued support for her and her television show. According to GLAAD, DeGeneres is Hollywood's first major television superstar to come out as gay, lesbian or bisexual. DeGeneres follows other television celebrities that paved the way for today's announcement, including Party of Five's Mitchell Anderson, Frasier's Dan Butler, The Larry Sanders Show's Scott Thompson and Married...With Children's Amanda Bearse. DeGeneres joins the out-and-proud ranks of pop and sports superstars like k.d. lang, Melissa Etheridge, Elton John, Martina Navratilova, Greg Louganis and RuPaul. "GLAAD applauds Ellen DeGeneres' courageous decision to come out," said Chastity Bono, GLAAD's entertainment media director. "Ellen's deeply personal decision will enable her to move forward and break new ground both personally and professionally." In Time, DeGeneres described her coming out as "the most freeing experience," and Chastity Bono expects Ellen's announcement will help lesbian and gay Americans, young and old, to shut their closet doors behind them. "Ellen's coming out serves as a highly visible example for lesbians and gay men who are struggling in the closet and will open up closet doors for them," added Ms. Bono. Last week GLAAD launched the official "Come Out With Ellen" World Wide Web site (located at www.glaad.org) and announced its "Come Out With Ellen" viewing parties, which will take place on April 30th in cities nationwide. A GLAAD "Come Out With Ellen" kit will be provided to fans interested in throwing "Come Out With Ellen" house parties by calling GLAAD at (800) GAY-MEDIA. GLAAD is the nation's lesbian and gay news bureau and the only national lesbian and gay multimedia watchdog organization. GLAAD promotes fair, accurate and inclusive representation as a means of challenging discrimination based on sexual orientation or identity.

ComputerXplorers Franchisees deliver the widest range of super-fun, educational and inspirational technology and computing classes across the UK. Classes are delivered in a range of locations including nurseries, schools, holiday clubs, after-school clubs, weekend clubs and other community venues.
ComputerXplorers teach children not only what's behind the technology, but build in critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity and confidence.
When that chance to make a difference to children's futures is wrapped up in a business opportunity with such low costs, high potential earnings and flexibility it's a powerful combination.
ComputerXplorers create their own leading-edge curriculum ensuring that all of their courses are totally fun, engaging and educational. They focus on a blend of tech skills and computational thinking combined with soft skills such as collaboration, communication and problem-solving, and of course very often boosting literacy and numeracy alongside.
A huge range of cool courses – coding, robotics and so much more!
Their extensive range of coding classes are enormously popular and they have even more great tech activities besides! These are just some of the courses they offer – 3D design and printing, augmented reality, app design, digital arts, animation, game design, robotics, engineering, electronics and the latest Minecraft skills – as well as all of their coding courses, of course!
It's a winning combination ensuring schools, parents and children keep coming back.
Franchisees are responsible for building and managing the business, for ensuring its profitability and for building relationships within the marketplace.
You will be meeting with school heads, presenting at assemblies, communicating with parents, managing your teachers and planning curriculum delivery.
If you enjoy children, value education, understand the need for tech skills and have passion this could be the business for you.
The need for children to develop computing skills is now widely recognised. Fluency and familiarity with computers and technology is essential to nurture the future digital generation and ensure that today's children become creators of technology and not just passive consumers of it.
Demand is exploding as educators and parents recognise the value of these skills…and of course, the children are having so much fun they don't notice how much they are learning!
The partnership between franchisee and franchisor is essential to the long-term success of the business. You need to be sure your franchisor is a business you can trust.
With ComputerXplorers you can be certain you have a franchisor with experience and knowledge and a commitment to provide on-going business support.
ComputerXplorers offers two different options: ComputerXplorers Classic and ComputerXplorers Enhanced.
A ComputerXplorers area, exclusive to you, with a minimum of 150 primary schools and 150 nurseries/preschools
Cost £14,950 plus VAT
Additional areas can be purchased at a later date subject to availability.
With 100% funding available on the Classic option, it's accessible to everyone!
A huge area exclusive to you with a minimum of 300 primary schools and 300 nurseries/preschools
Cost: £29,500 plus VAT
As part of The Bardon Group, ComputerXplorers has excellent relationships with all the major banks and have been helping franchisees to fund, manage and grow their businesses for some 40 years.
The Bardon Group can help to arrange full funding through the Government's Start-up Loans programme. You will be able to borrow £15,000 over 5 years at 6% interest per year.
The Start-up Loans Company provides finance for those who have not been able to secure finance from other sources.
Alternatively, should you choose to fund your investment through a bank loan their excellent relationships with the banks will help ease that process.
Generally the banks will lend ComputerXplorers franchisees 70% of the total funding required, including any working capital you may need – subject to your own financial status of course.
Note: These figures may vary according to the bank and interest rate pertaining at the time – you should check with the funding body and always compare at least two organisations. All figures are subject to VAT.
Our fantastic tech programmes provide a high engagement level and give a great WOW factor for the kids.
Becoming a business owner has changed my life. In my case it has offered me flexibility as my partner is in full time employment and having 2 children I can adjust my hours to suit.
It's very rewarding to see individual children flourish. We love to hear about how they continue their learning when they get home. Most importantly ComputerXplorers has fitted around my life and enabled me to focus on what's important to me.
Low initial investment - 100% funding available
Full training and support from award-winning, experienced franchisor
High profitability - no rent, no rates and controlled staff costs

Let people know how far to go with life saving measures
Many of us will eventually end up in critical condition in a hospital, and when one is incapacitated and in critical condition the decision of the amount and level of life saving measures is often left to distraught family and loved ones. In order to prevent causing that amount of anguish on the people we care about in their often worst time of their life it is vital to discuss and make clear to everyone your wishes about medical care in the event of your incapacitation.
Medical code status is often broken down into three categories:
Code One. Every life saving measure at the doctor's disposal will be used and will continue to be used until either the family decides to stop or the doctors feel the further continuation is futile.
Code Two. The doctors will continue the life saving measures already being performed but will not introduce further measures. Also, in the event of a cardiac arrest the doctors will administer I.V. medications but will not do CPR.
Code Three. The doctors will remove all life saving measures which will in most times result in the patient passing away. Almost all ICUs allow the family at the bedside continuously regardless of visiting hours in the event of Code three status.
These can be modified to family wishes such as introducing another life saving measure, like dialysis, to the patient who is in the Code two status if the doctor thinks it might significantly improve the patient's outcome. These can also be changed during treatment depending on the family wishes.
A Medical Power of Attorney puts the decisions of your care at the hands of one particular person, such as a certain family member or loved one. The person you pick will be your representative and will be your voice in determining how far the doctors will go in saving your life. This also takes the pressure of making such decisions away from people who might have problems coping with such a task.
A way to express your explicit wishes is by a Medical Power of Attorney. Your local hospital or clinic should have these papers available. This document will instruct the doctors what your wishes are and can be as detailed as how long to do care, what kind of treatments you wish to include in your care, and which ones you don't or as simple as "perform live saving measures for 10 days only". Please consult your doctor so you can make an informed decision about your care.
Once you have made decisions on your care, share it with people. The more people who know the more likely they will be carried out according to your wishes. For example your general practitioner might be able to express your wishes to your critical care doctors than your distraught wife or relatives that live hundreds of miles away.
Make sure your decisions in your care during a critical time of your life are carried properly and with as little stress as possible on the people you love by discussing and making life saving decisions today.

About Keen Aesthete
So what's our story?
As with many other founding stories, it started as a conversation between two friends who shared a strong interest in the role of technology in society. It just so happened they were also clinical psychology graduate students. Over time, they had more conversations—in person, online, while procrastinating from finals deadlines—and invited other conversation partners along the way, and they realized that they had a lot of things to say about psychology, clinical practice, and professional life, plus a healthy enough hubris to wonder if others might care about their thoughts.
Our goal is to be a comprehensive platform by clinicians for clinicians. Starting with this blog, we want to develop settings where clinicians can talk about any topic related to the clinician lifestyle and how it relates to our larger lives. And we mean anything—from the intersection of clinical practice and technology to analyzing the attachment styles of Batman and Spiderman!
About our name? We feel it best describes our professional aspiration—to be KEEN producers and consumers of clinical science balanced with the AESTHETICS of clinical practice. Perhaps we're aiming too high, and we can't promise that everything we post will revolutionize the world. But at the very least, we hope you will find us to be good company on the journey to becoming future keen aesthetes together.
Neil Andrew Cortez, Psy.D.
I enjoy reading up on and writing about psychoanalytic theory and practice, business and marketing, and clinical applications of technology. I am a clinical psychology graduate from an American Psychological Association-accredited program, with a certification in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy from an International Psychoanalytical Association-affiliated institute. Presently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at a low-fee psychoanalytic clinic in West Los Angeles. I fancy myself a funny writer, and enjoy listening to jazz, reading comics, and leveling up my MMORPG characters. To contact the author, please send an email to email@example.com.
Albert Hua, Ph.D.
I have learned that deepening the meaning of all that we do is a big part of all that we do. Although I have a background and work experience in engineering and technology, my doctoral degree in clinical psychology has prompted me to search for meaning beyond the logical and technical…finding the intersection between technical skill and the artistry of psychotherapy . I was recently a postdoctoral psychology resident at Kaiser Permanente in Northern California and am now pursuing the psychologist licensure in California. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and Master's of Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. My clinical interests include integrating and understanding the impact of technology on psychology; modern psychoanalytic therapy; and working with high functioning adults to realize unrealized higher potentials in their lives. My personal interests include being passionate about all aspects of life, including seeking out new experiences with my wife and kids, pushing my body to its physical limits through cycling and running, following the trends of the tech industry and understanding their implications on life, learning how to improve life through organization and productivity hacks and using my hands to make and fix things around the home. To contact this author, please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Justin Westbrook, Ph.D.
I enjoy narratives of all kinds, particularly those from popular culture, and how they intersect with psychology and theology. Perhaps even more than the narratives themselves, I love deep, enriching conversations about them that involve entering into other people's perspectives of them. I earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology and a Master's of Theology from Fuller Theological Seminary. I currently work for a community mental health clinic in Oregon and am an adjunct professor at a local psychology graduate program. Clinically, I am especially fond of working with children, adolescents, and their families, and I am strongly interested in positive psychology and narrative therapy. Personally, I adore connecting with others over good food and good conversations, sharing in people's passions, and giving to others out of the blessings that I have received.

MIAMI – Miami-Dade police say two teenagers were playing with a spear-gun Thursday when it went off, hitting one of them in the head.
The incident happened at 5230 SW 139th Place in Kendall in a small body of water just north of the house. Police said two 15 and a 16-year-old boys were in the water loading a spear-gun when it went off, striking the 16-year-old in the head.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue confirmed that the teen was taken to Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center.
The spear was still protruding from the teen's head as he arrived at the hospital, however he was still alert and talking.
Police said it was an accident, and they do not expect to bring charges.

TCA Winter Press Tour Day 14 Quotes: 'Powerless' Leeway, Dick Wolf's 'Chicago' Crack and More
It may feel like it lasts forever, but the Television Critics Association winter press tour is finally over!
The two-week, non-stop onslaught of press conferences and presentations to the nation's TV reporters concluded Wednesday with NBC.
The network kicked things off with a formal announcement of the return of Will & Grace and then made news with a two-season renewal for This Is Us.
The day also featured discussion of yet another Chicago spinoff, yet another TV adaptation of a popular movie franchise and a rare attempt to find laughs in the DC Universe.
Some highlight quotes from a busy NBC TCA day ...
*** Personally, I stopped watching NBC's Chicago shows because it became too much work to keep up with the various intersecting pieces in the expanding universe of Windy City professionalism.
Let's just say that producer Dick Wolf also has mixed feelings about the intersection or integration between the shows.
"[T]he crossovers are a pain in the ass," Wolf said pointedly. "Everybody hates doing them. The results have been manifest now for the last four seasons. I don't have an exact number, but usually, the highs for many of the shows have been during crossovers. ... Unfortunately, it's like ratings crack, and it's a bad addiction because you don't want to overuse it. But the premiere on March 1 has never been done before. It is Fire and the PD and the Justice with the cast of Med scattered through all three of the hours. It's really amazing. It's incredibly gratifying. It's incredibly hard to pull off, but when it works to be able to do something after, whatever it is, 75 years of commercial television that has literally never been done before, it really is exciting, and it gives the actors, as they stumble out in 13-degree weather at 6:30 in the morning, a reason to get out there."
*** NBC's Taken takes place before the events of the Liam Neeson Taken films — but don't take that to mean that Taken is a prequel, even if that sure sounds like the definition of prequel.
"[R]eally, we were never talking about a prequel," insisted EP Alex Cary. "We were talking about a modern origin story, so set in modern-day times, and I think the immediate question that arose is what is this television show to the movie? And I think what we wanted to do was to bring the franchise or the unique selling point of Taken to the TV screens, but to do our own story and really create this character sort of from the ground up, which is what attracted me to it and the opportunity really to all of us."
Ah. Hope you're takin' notes.
Explained Clive Standen, who steps into Neeson's shoes and his particular set of skills, "I'd love to have this TV [series] that we can watch a character every week and build with him and watch him learn from his mistakes, because I've got no interest in playing Liam Neeson's character in the film. He's the finished product. He's this man with a particular set of skills. This is about how we acquires them, and I think it's going to be a roller coaster of a ride with lots of ebbs and flows and twists and turns."
*** This Is Us probably has been the breakout success of the 2016-17 network TV season. Creator Dan Fogelman is, of course, appreciative of the response and the excitement the show has delivered.
"It's really rewarding to be in the zeitgeist in that way. We all have done this for a very long time and worked very hard on a lot of stuff," he said. "It's very rare that something just lands with people in a way that has people talking the next day. It's increasingly rare in our environment where there's so much on. So we have a plan. I remember when we first started coming out, some people were writing, 'They're front-loading too much.' We know where the series is going and how we're going to keep people on their toes. I feel really confident."
It's good that he knows where the show is going, what with that two-season renewal and all.
[More from Dan Fogelman about the possibility of a This Is Us spinoff.]
*** The part of the Trial & Error panel that excited me most was director Jeffrey Blitz saying he thought [still unofficially] that the third season of Review would be premiering in May.
My second-favorite part of the panel was Nick D'Agosto giving a long, long, long answer about his family's history with the Arby's fast food empire.
The third-best part of the panel was John Lithgow interrupting his own answer to single out co-star Steven Boyer's work on Broadway in Hand to God.
But for a quote, I guess I'll just leave you with Lithgow's wisdom, "The only really difficult acting is bad writing."
[Our full Trial & Error panel coverage.]
*** If you haven't seen Ron Funches since Undateable, the dude has become almost shockingly svelte.
Of his 130-pound weight loss, Funches observed, "Life-wise, I just have more energy, and I just feel better. I am sweating less on set; so that's good. Then I just think it's helpful role-wise as far as people are seeing me more as, like, the full actor instead of just like a fat best friend type of thing, and also, I have sex more. So that's good."
Wise words.
*** Funches is one of the stars of NBC's Powerless, which is being described as DC Comics' first TV comedy.
Given how humorless the recent DC feature films have been, what can Powerless get away with joking about when it comes to this world?
"I think they are very protective for their characters and for a good reason, I think," said Justin Halpern, co-showrunner on Powerless with Patrick Schumacker. "You know, a lot of people invest a lot in these characters. I think, for us, it's a little bit of, we ask for as much as we can get, and then we kind of see where we can find a happy medium. I've been pretty happy with what we've been able to get away with it. I think, like anything, they wanted to make sure that they didn't think the show was terrible before they started letting us use stuff. So as they started to get cuts in and see things, I think they allowed us to have a little more freedom."
Halpern explained that part of the problem is how many DC properties currently are being represented in film or TV.
"Everything seems to be in the Berlanti-verse," Halpern joked, referring to prolific Flash/Supergirl/Arrow/Legends of Tomorrow producer Greg Berlanti. "Maybe the TCAs are also in the Berlanti-verse. And so when you ask for something that's in the Berlanti-verse, there's a lot of red tape because it's on another network. So those are a lot of the challenges we have, if something is on another network, being used by another show. That's when it gets really tough and it can be a little frustrating, but I think we've been pretty happy with what we've been able to do."
[Our full Powerless panel coverage.]
*** One of the revelations of NBC's Great News is that co-star Nicole Richie is genuinely funny and not just in the real-world way she's been funny on her reality show in the past.
"I've been a fan of Nicole since she was basically a little kid on The Simple Life, and I was still 40," cracked executive producer Tina Fey. "But I think she's a really funny person. She has an instant likability. I think the kind of instincts that she has, you cannot teach them. People have it or they don't. She has a very easy, good comedy instinct in terms of timing, in terms of scale of performance. It's never pushing, you know. It's really good. So yeah, I was, we were all into it, but we were thrilled when she said that she would come in and read with everybody because this lady is, like, a business lady. She doesn't have time for this."
*** Jennifer Lopez plans long-term, like REALLY long-term. Shades of Blue, which returns for a second season this spring, formally was announced more than 18 months before it actually premiered in 2016. She signed on for NBC's next live musical more than a year before its launch as well. She's just busy.
"I don't think about what I did five years ago or what I might do five years from now," said J-Lo of her scheduling. "I just go what I feel right now. I feel very creatively motivated to do a lot of things. This year, we're producing a lot and doing World of Dance with NBC as well, my dance show, and executive producing and judging of that and then we're going to be going into Shades and I'll be doing my stint in Vegas all year. Then we're going to do Bye Bye Birdie at the end of the year with the NBC as well. It's a full year, but it's creatively fulfilling for me as an actor, as a singer, as a performer, as a dancer, and I couldn't be more excited about tackling each one of those projects. How I'm going to feel in a year from now? I don't know. Maybe I'll want to take a year off."
We'll believe it when we see it.
And that's it for January TCA press tour coverage from me ...

Health Minister gives assurances that services will be retained
A meeting between local area representatives and Minister for Health, Dr James Reilly took place a couple of weeks ago where it emerged that the Minister gave assurances that health services would be retained for the people of Longford.
Town Mayor, Cllr Peggy Nolan (FG) met with Minister Reilly who said that the Midland Regional Hospital, Mullingar would continue with its 24-7 A&E services based on hospitals level 3 status. When asked about the ongoing downgrading of services at St Jospeh's Care Centre in Longford town, Cllr Nolan said that the Minister gave assurances that there was "no plan" to close the facility. "The closure is not an actual concern," said Cllr Nolan, adding that it was the reduction in bed capacity from 170 down to 68 that was "worrying". "HIQUA has approved 74 beds for use at St Joseph's and I have sought and received support from Minister Reilly to bring the fully approved bed numbers on stream. The question of transport to the Midland Regional Hospital, Tullamore was also posed to the Minister by me and once again he assured me that the issue would be kept on his agenda until an appropriate resolution to the matter was reached."
Cllr Nolan went on to say that the issue of fluoride in the county's water supply was one which had been raised time and time again with no solution at hand. "For the first time in 12 years, the issue will now be addressed by Minister Reilly in consultation with the committee advising on fluoride," she added. "The commitment given by the Minister was positive and leaves me with some hope that this costly and unnecessary practice will cease sooner rather than later."
According to the local area representative, plans are in place to establish an 8-8 GP led casualty across the Country and a proposal to include Longford in the new configuration of level B/C units was put forward to Minister Reilly during the meeting. "Again the Minister showed his support for the unit at St Joseph's to continue and particularly when services such as physiotherapy and radiology were taken into account," Cllr Nolan explained. "The Minister was very supportive of Longford being a location for consideration under the proposed new scheme."
Cllr Nolan concluded by saying, "The positivity towards Longford and our acute services in Mullingar and Tullamore is welcomed, but in these uncertain times, it remains a time for diligence on my part."

What are the most common types of trenchless technology used in road construction projects today?
Trenchless technology usage is growing throughout the country. This will necessarily continue as more land surfaces are paved and additional vertical structures are built.Read more
In fact, at this point in the development of the trenchless technology industry, some utility companies now presume that a trenchless technique will be utilized, as opposed to the open-cut techniques, when there is a no-dig alternative available (especially in roads).
Trenchless technology is a set of techniques for utility line installation, replacement, rehabilitation, renovation, repair, inspection, location and leak detection, with minimum excavation from the ground surface. As the industry has matured, various forms of trenchless boring and tunneling have developed. Some of the most common trenchless technologies include:
- Horizontal Auger Boring, or, "Jack and Bore."
- Pipe Ramming.
- Horizontal Directional Drilling or "HDD".
- Microtunneling.
Each of these trenchless technologies has its own applications and relative strengths and weaknesses. Soil type, project area sensitivity, space requirement, dig depth and bore path length may all determine which technology is best suited to a particular project. The detail and clarity of standard contract specifications for these relatively new technologies can vary from Owner to Owner. It is imperative that Contractors utilizing these technologies understand the applicable contract specifications and, in particular, the procedural requirements that must be followed in order to receive compensation when an issue with the specified technique arises. Consult a licensed attorney to review your contracts on road construction projects to ensure your work is properly compensated.

That said, lets all take a moment to relive the glory that is Il Divo singing Time To Say Goodbye, shall we???
Love those guys - pure class.
As for the dances, I think it's obvious the judges were holding back to give 10s to Jason and Kristina - and they would have done until he totally blanked on his choreo!! Loved Chelsee & Pasha and Alex & James - Chelsee is the one I want to win at this stage, I think she's just lovely and doesn't realise how good she actually is.
As for who went - it was their time I think (being cryptic in case someone hasn't managed to see it yet!!)
Next Saturday should be interesting - Bobby has an infection in his foot and can't dance, so Brendan Cole (Rent-a-Pro!) has been drafted in to partner with Anita! He's either going to become the first pro to get booted out of Strictly twice, or he's going to keep nobbling the other pros til he gets to the final and becomes the first pro to win twice! (The banter on twitter has been great since ITT broke the news this evening) All of which means that Anita is probably not going anywhere this weekend.....

Review of AEA conference – Julia Meen
Review of AEA conference – Julia Meen
I'm hoping to bring a dual perspective to the student blog today – my view of the recent AEA conference in Leicester, from my vantage point as both a student and a commercial archaeologist. I'm currently completing an MRes at the University of Reading, but my day job is as an Archaeobotanist at Oxford Archaeology South. The academic and commercial worlds are in many ways quite different, but I'm finding that having one foot in each of them gives me the best of both worlds. At the moment I'm deep into writing my dissertation, which is a study of archaeobotanical approaches to identifying brewing. This is a topic which I've been fascinated with for several years, and being back at University has given me the chance to throw myself into researching it fully, as well as giving me the opportunity to explore some of the wider issues in archaeobotany which my study touches upon.
However, on the last Saturday in April I put aside my dissertation and headed up to Leicester to hear all about "New Directions in Data Visualisation in Environmental Archaeology". The theme of AEA's spring conference was well summed up by Carol Lang's presentation shortly after lunch. Addressing specifically her experiences with soil micromorphology, the issues it raised are relevant across environmental archaeology, and she neatly expressed many of the concerns covered by the day's speakers. Soil micromorphology, she points out, is full of technical jargon which can be impenetrable to non-specialists and, in particular, to the public. Her paper explored how different approaches can be used to address different audiences: technical, process heavy explanations for an academic audience, and explanations making use of analogy and assuming no prior knowledge for the public. This is such an important topic, and one that I'm really invested in as a commercial archaeologist. There's great public interest in archaeology, and we need to work to make our work more accessible to everyone.
David Smith gave an equally thought provoking paper, discussing use of multivariate statistics and visual presentations of data, specifically archaeoentomological data. The data sets that can be generated when examining insect remains from archaeological contexts can be large and complex and there can be a temptation to overcomplicate the way they are presented, with patterns obscured behind inappropriate figures and analyses. David Smith demonstrated a range of effective statistical techniques he has applied to his data. I'm currently picking through a vast amount of data for my dissertation, and David Smith's paper has really got me thinking about the best ways I can present it.
With my commercial hat on, I was really interested to hear about Jonathan Baines' experiences at Dere Street, in North Yorkshire. This is a rescue excavation being carried out by Northern Archaeological Associates which has so far produced a massive 4400 bulk samples, which means that as the archaeobotanist, Jonathan has his work cut out to make sense of the plant remains they contain! Jonathan discussed the approaches he is taking to interpret this huge data set, and how best to extract useful information under the constraints of commercial archaeology. Jonathan's talk felt very timely. With big infrastructure projects such as HS2 on the horizon, it's a good time for commercial environmental archaeologists to review their approaches, to see what does and does not work, and consider how specialists can communicate with fieldstaff about effective sample taking.
Of course, there were many more excellent presentations which I don't have space to cover here. I thought the 'Ignite' 5-minute papers worked really well, and there were some very good posters. I came away from the day feeling encouraged to think about which areas of my own research I might be able to present at a future conference, having been especially inspired by the number of commercial archaeologists represented this time.

- MyaGuestNovember 22, 2016 at 6:57 amPost count: 28158
Hey, guys. So I recently slept with my ex-boyfriend's friend and I don't really know how to feel about it.
I was with my ex officially for about 6 months. It was a short but very intense relationship.
A little over a month ago I found out he cheated on me multiple times, slept with two of my "friends" unprotected and was constantly texting and messaging other girls behind my back. I was devastated and humiliated. Crying and agonizing over whether I should take him back for weeks. Listening to every apology and every line about how "he's changed".
I never actually officially took him back but we were on talking terms on and off. He had been trying to get me back this entire time, but he drinks way too much, way too often and cannot be trusted around the opposite sex the second he has an ounce of alcohol in his system.
I had really been trying to forgive him, and look past everything he had done. A couple days ago, I found out he went drinking and met up and was all over one of the girls he had cheated on me with. Don't know if they did anything as they were the only two at the bar. But the fact that he was even with her at all was all I needed to know. I was livid, hurt and embarrassed and I made it clear that I was done with him.
So this past weekend I went out with a few friends, who are also his friends, one of which I knew was always attracted to me, and ended up hooking up with him. I feel pretty damn guilty about it all and I have a feeling my ex is going to find out about it soon.
I don't know whether I should confess it to him myself or just leave it be. I know he's going to be crushed and he'll hate me for it. Not sure how to go about it now.
We work together and my friends are his friends and vice versa. I don't want to cause a drama and I feel bad about the fact that my ex will probably explode when he hears about this and will most likely cut ties with his friend over this.
My feelings are also a little mixed because I'm not the type of person who just sleeps around. I'm 23 going on 24 and I've only ever had sex with three men. I feel like if and when my ex-finds out, he's going to trash my name and make it look like I'm someone down right awful.
Any advice on how to deal with all of this would be much appreciated.

Don't tell anyone you slept with him. This may come out anyway but why throw fuel on the fire? Accept that you made a mistake, and move on. Your ex will say you slept with his friend for revenge.
