Women spend a significant amount of time focusing on the needs and wants of everyone else in their lives. This is a key strength, but it is also a key weakness. If you don't make a conscious, disciplined effort to shift that focus back to yourself and think about the importance of protecting yourself when you are connecting with others, there is a great risk that you will undercut yourself.
All women need to remember what the flight attendant says at the beginning of each flight: "If you are traveling with a small child and the oxygen mask drops, put that mask over your own face first. It is only when you are strong enough to take care of yourself that you will have the strength to take care of that child."
Those instructions are valid for women in more situations than a crisis in the air.
They apply to a women's role at home, at work and in the community.
Psychoanalyst Jean Baker Miller, the author of Toward a New Psychology of Women, and first director of the Stone Center at Wellesley College, developed the "Relational-Cultural Theory" with her colleagues. Their work suggests that all growth occurs in connection, that all people yearn for connection, and that growth-fostering relationships are created through mutual empathy and empowerment.
The other side of this is disconnection.
That is when relationship connection no longer works or has become uncomfortable. When this happens, if the less powerful person is able to express her feelings and the other person is able to respond empathetically, disconnection can actually lead to a strengthened relationship and a strengthened sense of relational competence. If however the injured or less powerful person is unable to express her feelings or receives a response of indifference, she will begin to keep aspects of herself out of the relationship in order to maintain the relationship.
This very complicated analysis is at the heart of the difference between men and women in the work force.
Because so much of what a woman values is the connection and the relationship with others, when that is not reciprocated or encouraged, it impedes a woman's ability to succeed. Men, on the other hand, don't have that problem. They measure their success on their individual ability to get ahead and are not as bogged down by how they are judged in relationships with others.
Men are not afraid of ruffling the feathers of those they work with to achieve success.
Patricia Annino is a nationally recognized authority on women and estate planning. She educates and empowers women to value themselves and their contributions in order to ACCOMPLISH GREAT THINGS in the world – and in so doing PROTECT THEMSELVES, those they love, and the organizations they care about.

<3 and prayers, sweet lady! I hope grace overflows for you!ReplyDelete
Oh Maegan you're so wonderfully created and oh so beautiful and talented. I love seeing your far off trips to happy places with your hubs & to see your businesses growing so much. All I know is that God is with you; it's apparent. You have Him by your side in all things you do. So log off, sit down and breathe. We will all be here encouraging you, loving you and missing you, but most importantly....we will be here regardless.
Love you much, friend.
Oh friend....do not feel alone!! I have been going through the same thing! Life gets overwhelming and I think at times we do get too much on our plate! I think we have to stop, put our eyes on him and let God take care of us!! God is good!ReplyDelete
Oh friend. I think I understand part of what you are going through. I'm working two jobs and am just walking around in a constant state of exhaustion. It definitely takes away from what I want to do and how I want to invest my time and something does have to give. Definitely praying for you girl. Take care of yourself.ReplyDelete
You are not alone girl, juggling so much is absolutely overwhelming! This season will pass, just keep your head up and stay strong, clinging to Jesus and praying that prayer. I am praying it with you, for you. We're all here for you sweet girl.ReplyDelete
Speaking of grace like rain...another one of my faves. I love to just repeat the main lyrics over and over to myself sometimes... "let it rain, let it rain...open the floodgates of heaven..." Grace like rain, girl. Love you!
Ohhhh Maegen, I have been feeling the same exact way! I spent some time reading the Bible last night. It had honestly been the first time in months. January & February I did so good reading a devotional & the Bible. Makes me feel bad! I felt more at peace, even through all the chaos that still would occur. I read some in Romans, then Proverbs 31 (hello, smack in the face! That's what I want to be!), then somehow I got to Matthew. The verses were saying not to give up, seeking His kingdom & His righteousness first & all the things will be provided for us, & not to worry. Worry is my biggie! I really hate it. I want to give it ALL to God, but sometimes I just don't know how to truly give it ALL to Him, if that makes sense? I tend to over think & stress, even when I say I want to give it all to Him. In my Bible, it has extra stuff on the side to read & one part said, "God has given your preferences & passions on purpose. He knows you will accomplish more for the kingdom when you are working in an area that you love. If bringing God glory is your first priority, then you will always make wise decisions. They may sometimes be tough, but in the end, you will have made the right choice." I sent that to B too ;) Isaiah 11:2 "The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord" Sorry to write you a book but know you are not alone! Text me whenever you feel like talk, call or Facetime me when you want to cry, scream, or do whatever!ReplyDelete
praying for you!!ReplyDelete
I find that the conversation for most women these days is centered around trying to find balance. I was honesty talking to my best friend about this last night. There is a misconception out there that women can have, do, and make it all. But the truth is that we can't. And that is okay. Find what makes you happy and follow that path. Trying to force yourself into an idea or expectation you have of yourself is not worth it if it makes you miserable. I hope you find peace soon.ReplyDelete
I love reading your blog and hope that your prayers are answered :) I've been reciting the same prayer too lately. For a whole ocean of grace to wash over me!ReplyDelete
Oh girl nobody can do it all! I hope you can find some balance in your life and I hope that you find it soon.ReplyDelete
A friend and I stole a line from a song...Instead of saying like Lord help you or I'm praying for you or even it's okay...Basically any opportunity. We would say: :"grace like rain" and then make the gesture of rain fallling LOL love you!ReplyDelete
Praying you feel refreshed and at peace so very soon!ReplyDelete
Praying for you! I have an idea of how difficult that is and know that if you ever need to talk about the craziness and emotions and frustrations of it all (especially being a business owner), I'm always here to listen! XOReplyDelete
Keeping you in my prayers, sweet girl! I know how this feels. I wish we lived near each other so you could vent all about it to me. And so I could sneak in and clean your house for you ;)ReplyDelete
Praying you find the perfect balance soon and a big 'ole bucket of His grace :)ReplyDelete
Nobody can do everything perfectly and enjoy it--at least that's what I'm convinced of. It's hard, though, when you really truly want to be a part of so many good things. They're all good--but sometimes too much is just too much!ReplyDelete
I feel you. I'm feeling overwhelmed right now, too. Feel free to let me know if you need to talk. :)ReplyDelete

There have been a few questions about unsharp masking in this forum. For what it 's worth, I have been trying masking for a while now and I really like the effec ts. The internal or local contrast is enhanced while not killing the overall con trast. I expose film at high elevations like Bodie Ghost Town at 9000 ft. and th e eastern sierra, and the contrast is sometimes horrendous. Contrast and unsharp masking brings the negative within range of the paper. It works on the highligh ts without flattening out all the overall contrast. I use T-Max 100 or Plus X fo r my masks. I use it on 4x5 and up. You will need some frosted drafting acetate from a drafting supply or art store. I use .005" and .007" acetate. You will als o need a heavy piece of glass like you use when doing contact prints. Raise the enlarger all the way up and stop down your lense all the way. You will want a ne gative that is very diffuse. You want a negative mask that shows very diffuse de nsity in the highlight areas, even less density in the mid tones and no density at all in the shadows. Only zones 6 and up do you want any density. I stack both pieces of film emulsion side up with the drafting film in between. I have cut t he drafting film to the exact size of the film I'm using. I even the film and ac etate edges together and then lay them down as carefully as possible on my baseb oard. When I lay the film stack down I run my finger over the top of the film st ack lightly to push out any air trapped between the stack. I then lay the glass down carefully so that I don't move the film stack. It is very, VERY important t o make sure that the film stack is not moved. If it is moved at all it makes rea ligning the mask and negative that much harder later on. Exposure on my setup is about 3 seconds at f45. I use HC110 at a dilution of 1:20 stock to water at 70* f. After drying I realign the two negatives with each other using my light box a nd a magnifying glass, taping the edges together. The edges of the film base+fog areas is where I try to make the match. There after I always print the sandwich together. The results are well worth the effort. It sounds complicated but is v ery easy. Do one and you will use it often. Condit Manufacturing makes a registr ation system that is not too expensive. Try it and Let me know of any success or failures. E-mail me and I might be able to clear any questions up. If you can, take a workshop from Howard Bond. His workshops are inexpensive and a lot of fun .

Squarespace offers a powerful form builder, but storing the data is limited to a few basic options. Clients often need something a bit more sophisticated to integrate with Salesforce. We wrote a quick JavaScipt plug-in that allows any Squarespace form to be saved as a new Salesforce lead.
- JavaScript only - works with standard or developer mode on Squarespace
- Easy to setup using Salesforce's Web-to-Lead feature
- Compatible with standard lead fields and custom fields
- Once established, no code to write when editing forms
- Retains all existing Squarespace form features
- Squarespace site
- Salesforce account
- Some knowledge of JavaScript
To get started, log in to Squarespace and design your form. For best results, use the following fields names, which will be automatically mapped to Salesforce fields.
- Name
- Company
- Email Address
- Phone
- Lead Source (hidden)
Don't forget to setup any standard Squarespace storage options and your confirmation message.
If you're using the standard platform, add this gist code (salesforce.js & site.js) somewhere on your site. If you're in developer mode, save the squarespace.js file to your scripts folder and add the contents of site.js somewhere appropriate.
Head over to Salesforce and navigate to the Web-to-Lead customization section, which can be found under Setup » Build » Customize » Leads » Web-to-Lead. From here you can edit who the lead creator will be, as well as create a new form; which is how we'll find out what the secret URL is we will post the form results to.
Click "Create Web-to-Lead Form" and then "Generate".
Don't worry about the fields, they don't matter.

Turks move back east, they are not native to Turkey.
Reader comment on item: Does Turkey Still Belong in NATO?
Submitted by Kevin Synnott (United States), Apr 7, 2009 at 13:44
Which Indians?
The ones now called Native Americans are the 3d or 4th wave of people to come to the Western Hemisphere. Yep, that includes everything south of the Rio Grande.
There are more Indians (that's today's Native Americans) in the US now than when the white folks landed in Virginia.
Turks are from Asia, give the European part of Turkey to the Greeks.
You need to pay massive reparations for the millions of Armenians that your ancestors killed. But you can start with an apology. That is" you" start with an apology right here, right now on these boards. Just as a measure of good faith on your part. Your government should follow later.
How am I doing?

These standards committee reports from IPC's Fall Standards Development Committee Meetings have been compiled to help keep you up to date on IPC standards committee activities. This is the third and final report in the series.
Supplier Declaration
The 2-18 Supplier Declaration Subcommittee discussed the need to revise IPC-1751A, General Requirements for Declaration Process Management. The revision will facilitate the harmonization of the IPC-175x family of standards with the IEC 62474 materials declaration standard. The subcommittee will restructure the 175x family of standards to allow the laboratory declaration standard (IPC-1753) and conflict minerals standard (IPC-1755) to be part of the IPC-175x family of standards.
The second amendment to IPC-1752A, Materials Declaration Management passed unanimously. The amendment helps to ensure a seamless transition toward harmonization with the IEC 62474 materials declaration standard. The 2-18b Materials Declaration Task Group, responsible for IPC-1752A, also discussed implementing a requirement for solution providers to undergo a yearly review to ensure the latest released standards, schemas and IPC lists of substance categories and exemptions are followed.
The 2-18f Declaration of Shipping, Pack and Packing Materials Task Group discussed amending IPC-1758, Declaration Requirements for Shipping, Pack and Packing Materials, to include a field for declaring recycled content of packaging material. The task group will propose an amendment after IPC-1751A, General Requirements for Declaration Process Management, is revised.
The 2-18h Conflict Minerals Data Exchange Task Group responded to comments received on the Proposed Standard for Ballot on IPC-1755, Conflict Minerals Data Exchange, which did not pass the first round of balloting. The committee agreed on important changes, as suggested by committee members, to help ensure the standard passes the next circulation. Publication of a final standard is expected by January 2014.
The 2-18j Lab Report Declaration Task Group celebrated the approval of IPC-1753, Laboratory Report Declaration. The standard allows laboratory data to be seamlessly exchanged between supply chain partners.
Electronic Documentation Technology
The 2-40 Electronic Documentation Technology Committee has turned its attention to providing electronic formats for both printed board and assembly standards using IPC-2581B schema concepts. The committee has started work on Revision A of IPC-2614, Sectional Requirements for Board Fabrication Documentation. During the meeting, the committee proposed amendments to the standard as well as incorporating suggested modifications to the image standards for schematics and logic diagrams (IPC-2612 and IPC-2612-1).
The 2-41 Product Data Description Subcommittee reviewed the data model for laminate construction and converted a portion of it into the XML schema identified in IPC-2581. The group determined the requirements for laminate description and the details needed to define specific laminate properties, such as dielectric constant, glass transition temperature, glass weave, and thermal processing properties. These will be documented in a new standard, IPC-2614-1.
Flexible Circuits
The D-12a UL 746F and UL 796F Task Group was re-activated in August 2013 at the request of UL. The organization is revising the UL 796F flexible printed wiring standard. The group commented upon the prioritized listing of topics proposed for change.
The D-13 Flexible Circuits Base Materials Subcommittee addressed the latest resolved comments on Amendment 1 to IPC-4202A, Flexible Base Dielectrics for Use in Flexible Printed Circuitry. The final draft of this amendment will be sent out for comments for resolution prior to ballot. The subcommittee is also revising IPC-FC-234, PSA Assembly Guidelines for Single- & Double-Sided Flexible Printed Circuits. This document covers the use of pressure sensitive adhesives (PSA) in assembly.
Conflict Minerals
The E-30 Conflict Minerals Due Diligence Committee reviewed sample draft text that was prepared in response to comments agreed upon during the February 2013 meeting at IPC APEX EXPO. Committee members will complete a re-draft this fall and circulate it for comments in early 2014 with the intention of reviewing comments during the committee's next meeting in March 2014.

It looks like Beyoncé, Solange, and Michelle Obama all hung out (we're so jealous)
What's better than a sighting of Michelle Obama, Beyoncé, or Solange?
The three of them possibly together. In the same room. With each other. Together.
In a leaked video that made the rounds on social media this week, the three are joined by Solange's son, Julez, and are captured repeating the famous Friday quote, "Bye, Felicia." The clip is reportedly from Beyoncé's private birthday party, according to Beyoncé fan account @TheBeyHiveTeam.
Never Before Seen private footage of Beyoncé, Solange & Michelle Obama! #ByeFelicia 😂👋 pic.twitter.com/VrTz6sgsUc
— THE BEYHIVÉ (@TheBeyHiveTeam) July 21, 2017
People are already calling for someone's firing for leaking what seems a private video, especially after footage of Blue Ivy leaked with the same watermark of @tarajixone, a fan account for the actress Taraji P. Henson.
With this second video, there are a lot of questions that need answers. Who is @tarajixone? How did whoever it is get their hands on this video? Why is it just circulating now when Beyoncé's birthday was in September? Is that really Bey, Solange, and the former FLOTUS? And to repeat what one curious person asked on Twitter — who are they all saying "bye Felicia" to in the video!?
so, y'all just gon leak videos with not only Beyonce AND Solange, but MICHELLE OBAMA? get your lawyer prepared for the storm that is coming https://t.co/PDx1NOLFW0
— uncle fatty stan (@QUEENTIWAA) July 21, 2017
The question isnt who hacked Beyonce's phone, but WHO was Michelle Obama, Beyoncé, and Solange saying Bye Felicia too. 🤔🤔
— the friend 🌪 (@dangYonZ) July 21, 2017
Regardless of the answers, this is a low-quality cell phone video (because, ugh, leaks) of some pretty high-quality folks who have a long-standing friendship. If this dose of #BlackGirlMagic doesn't have you entering the weekend with a smile on your face, then honestly, bye, Felicia.

San Diego-based Prometheus Laboratories, a specialty pharma and diagnostics company, has filed an amendment to its plans for an initial public offering, which has been in registration for nearly three years.
The regulatory filing offers a wealth of new insights into the company. Prometheus says it generated first-half profits of $28.9 million and $259.6 million in total revenue during the first half of 2010, according to its amended IPO filing. This represents a 60 percent increase in revenue and a 75 percent profit gain over the first half of 2009. The company reported total debt of more than $194 million as of June 30.
Prometheus also says its total annual revenue has grown from $138.9 million in 2005 to $341.9 million in 2009, according to the regulatory filing. Most of that revenue, however, has come from a relatively short list of drugs targeting gastrointestinal disorders or cancer. In 2009, Prometheus generated just $84.2 million, or 24.7 percent, of its overall revenue from diagnostic cancer and gastroenterology services.
In fact, the company has been generating most of its revenue from a single drug—budesonide, a treatment for moderate Crohn's disease marketed as Entocort EC. During the first six months of this year, budesonide sales accounted for roughly 63 percent of the total sales at Prometheus—and 74 percent of its drug sales. Prometheus began selling budesonide capsules in 2005 under an exclusive rights agreement with AstraZeneca—which is set to expire at the end of this year. Two patents protecting the drug also are scheduled to expire in May 2011 and January 2015.
The company has been diversifying its product line. Prometheus says it bought the drug alosetron hydrochloride (Lotronex) for treating irritable bowel syndrome from GlaxoSmithKline in early 2009. Earlier this year, Prometheus acquired and began selling aldesleukin (Proleukin) for treating metastatic renal cell carcinoma and metastatic melanoma under an agreement with Novartis Vaccines and Diagnostics.
The company also launched a test for Crohn's disease, saying it can predict a patient's risk of developing the disease later in life. It also signed a deal in March with Bayer Schering Pharma AG, that could be worth as much as $160 million, to develop diagnostic tests for cancer drugs that Bayer has been developing.
The company, which had 476 employees in mid-July, has applied for a listing on the Nasdaq under the symbol RXDX. As part of a reorganization that will follow the IPO, Prometheus Labs plans to change its name to Prometheus RxDx. A report in VentureWire says Promethus has raised more than $132 million in debt and equity since it was founded in 1995. Its investors include DLJ Merchant Banking Partners, Split Rock Partners, Sprout Capital, Apax Partners, Pamlico Capital, and Brentwood Venture Capital.

I nearly missed the birth of our 4th child. Before you are too critical, please know that the supervising nurse had advised me to slip out and get some lunch – she thought it would be a long time. It wasn't. The fast-food service wasn't all that fast, but my wife's labor was, fortunately I got back just in time. Typically parents don't have a lot to say about the day their child arrives.
I'm sure it was inconvenient for Joseph to head to Bethlehem in the final trimester of Mary's pregnancy. But God had a specific time for the birth of Jesus. Paul recorded this truth for us in his letter to the Galatians,
3Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons (Galatians 4:3-5).
The word fullness is used elsewhere to describe the 12 baskets that were left over at the feeding of the five thousand (Mark 6:43). They were full baskets – they weren't half empty. When describing time it means the "end of an appointed time." That night in Bethlehem it was long enough and Jesus came. The word communicates that even in the timing God was in complete control.
Why was the sending forth of the Son so important? Because we were in bondage to the world (4:3). The Greek grammar communicates that our bondage was ongoing, thorough and complete. It further reveals that it is something that happened to us. One translator used the word "kidnapped." We had been kidnapped by the world. So at "just the right time" Jesus came to buy us out of our bondage and to set us free.
So it was that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered (Luke 2:6).
So glad I didn't miss the birth of my son.
Praying this season you don't miss the reason for the birth of His (John 3:16-17).

Ketogeniks keto Diet Pills Price, Benefits, Ingredients & Side Effects
Ketogeniks keto: Overweight leads to many health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases and certain types of cancer. The regular massive intake of the carbohydrates makes our body conditioned to burn those carbohydrates to release energy and the fat content gets stored in the place of carbohydrates.
keto Fuel
The manufacturer says that Ketogeniks keto has a supplement Beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) which burns the fat instantly instead of the carbohydrates in our body to produce ketones. These Ketones are used by the cell for their functions they boost up the energy and resulting in the weight loss with this ketosis action. Ketogeniks keto makes sure that there would be a loss of 1lb fat per day.
Problems faced by people
- Fat gets stored in the body instead of the carbohydrates as these carbs serve the energy fuel to our body resulting in the gain of weight.
- Carbohydrates don't produce essential energy for our entire body making us feel stressed out, tired at the end of each date.
Working of Ketogeniks keto
Ketogeniks keto works on the process of ketosis. Ketosis is the metabolic process and it uses fat as its source of energy instead of carbohydrates. When the carbohydrates and protein content in very less in your body it starts depreciating glycogen stores to use it as the fuels. This ketosis forces your body to undergo lipolysis, thus burning the fat that is stored.
In the process of lipolysis, the fats get to break down converting them into triglycerides into glycerol and free fatty acids. These fatty acids are used by the liver to create small amounts of ketone bodies to use it as fuel. Thus reducing the excessive amount of the fats stored in our body resulting in weight loss. Our bodies produce Ketones like Acetoacetate (AcAc), Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and Acetone.
This BHB the first substrate in our body is a clean fuel and more stable that kicks the metabolic state of ketosis into action and starts the processing resulting in energy. It floats around in your blood and starts its action. Its main action starts in the brain. The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a regulated interface but as BHB is hydrophilic in nature it brings the energy into your brain and leads to heightened mental acuity.
Our body has two types of BHB
These are produced in high amounts and are used by your cells for proving energy and are responsible for anti-aging effects.
These are produced in very lower quantities and used for energy similar to D-BHB. It's helpful in the synthesis for fatty acids.
Ketogeniks keto with the BHB supplement comes with lots of benefits not only as an efficient energy production but also can supercharge your metabolism where glucose can't do it. BHB enhances gene expression, supercharges cognitive function, kills inflammation, fights oxidative stress, increases lifespan, helps to fight and prevent cancer, boosts insulin sensitivity, optimizes heart function and also prevents bone deterioration.
Ketogeniks keto also has the supplement ketone Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (BHB) which is also known as 3-hydroxybutanoic acid (3HB) or 3-hydroxybutyric acid which acts as an external fuel in our body and boosts up the metabolic ketosis.

Rockaway Boardwalk Redevelopment & Storm Resiliency
Helping this Queens community recover their "Main Street"after Superstorm Sandy.
With the incorporation of Centennial, Colorado in 2001, the new city began with a clean slate and a desire to create a place their residents were proud to call home. From the beginning, Centennial aimed to be a small government, partnering with other agencies and the private sector for the majority of its services.
Faced with the complexity of creating a new public works department in 2007, Jacobs began the journey to help achieve the city's vision of a model public works department that assists in day-to-day operations all while keeping focus on the citizens.
Working as an extension of the city, Jacobs provides public works services to more than 106,000 residents – delivering a broad range of services from traffic engineering to snow removal – while being flexible to the city and citizen's needs.
Together we have worked to make Centennial a model for what can be done when a city and the private-sector collaborate. Forming a deep relationship with the city allows our team to anticipate needs and work to build a strong track record of success.
average miles per plow – nearly two times the average of adjacent jurisdictions.
less time to cover the?city's snow route network due to optimized snow routes.
people are better connected to their city.
citizens may voice their concerns to the citizen response center.
The City of Centennial's evolving public-private partnership with Jacobs continues to improve the quality of services provided to our residents. Together we have found ways to save money, streamline processes and develop innovative ideas. This high-performing partnership continues to be a model for cities throughout the U.S. as we continue to raise the bar in terms of performance. I look forward to the continued success as our relationship with Jacobs strengthens over time.
When it comes to running a complete public works department, Jacobs and the city built a one-of-a-kind partnership to ensure the community gets exactly what they need, when they need it.
Deliver a complete range of services including traffic engineering and operations, permit processing, inspections, administrative services and street and roadside maintenance, including snow removal.
Answer and immediately respond to the residents and local business calls 24/7 at the Citizen Response Center.
Manage code compliance operations, including award-winning program to limit visual sign clutter in public right-of-ways.
Provide all building, landscaping, park and fleet maintenance services for the city, including maintenance of the award-winning Centennial Center Park.
Optimize snow plow and street-sweeping routes, using?in-plow GPS navigation systems to reduce fuel use and limit greenhouse gas emissions while quickly and efficiently clearing snow from community roadways.
In late 2009, Centennial sent 3,000 surveys to residents to measure their impressions of the city's public works operations. The survey had a 32 percent response rate. Some of the highest satisfaction was in the responsiveness of the city and the overall quality of life. Seventy-nine percent of those who returned the survey ranked the overall quality of life as good or excellent, and 28 percent ranked the city excellent. These surveys are a great way to make sure we are doing want the community wants.
We're all ears. Decades of experience has taught us how important it is to listen. That's why we begin our partnerships with a conversation. When Centennial told us about their most pressing challenges, we created custom-tailored solutions.
Change is constant – let's plan on it ?
No one can predict the future, but we can plan for the necessary wiggle room of life's uncertainties. The Centennial and Jacobs partnership designed a flexible and adjustable service through a value-exchange system. This system allows the city to adjust service quantities based on their changing priorities and demands. So, for example, if a mild winter requires less snow plowing, the city then can decide to use those dollars for additional road striping. The city can now more effectively manage its budget over the contract's lifetime while performance standards enable it to control the timing and amount of service performed and pass the risk of quality and deadline commitments to us. Now doesn't that make planning for the future a little less daunting?
Innovation that can stand up to mother nature
Clearing snow in Centennial was costly and difficult. Jacobs introduced a variety of innovative approaches to optimize the way the city dealt with snow, including updating an old snowplow routing solution, applying updated algorithms and using consumer-grade GPS units to reduce the snowplowing time for city streets by as much as 40 percent. The snowplow optimization allows the city to extend services with its existing fleet to improve speed, frequency and range of snow plowing services?–?improving community ?safety and transportation access during hazardous snow conditions.
Giving the community a voice
Centennial now offers a place for the community to ask questions and voice concerns. Jacobs established a consolidated customer service center that serves as a single point of contact for all resident concerns, not just public works. Residents can call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week or submit requests online.

The Wind-Up plan has been shared to RPRA and approved on August 16, 2019.
Ontario Electronic Stewardship's electronic recycling program makes it easier for industry to do what is best for the environment, and help keep old computers, televisions and other electronics out of landfill. The leaders of this important initiative—Stewards of designated Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE)—are defined by Ontario's WEEE Program Rules as:
- companies or organizations that are resident in Ontario;
- the Brand Owners, First Importers, Franchisors and/or Assemblers of designated Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE); and
- suppliers of EEE in Ontario.
If your organization is a Steward of EEE, you are legally obligated to register with OES, file monthly reports and pay applicable fees on the EEE you supply into Ontario.
How do I Register?
OES has an online Stewardship Registration and Reporting system for companies who have determined they are obligated Stewards or companies who wish to register and participate in the Remitter's (see below) process.
Following registration, approved companies will receive a steward number and unique user login ID. Users will be able to create their own passwords. Stewards and Remitters, are required to file monthly Steward Reports.
What is a Remitter or Sub-Remitter?
Learn more about Remitters and Sub-Remitters.
Steward Self-Manage Option
The Steward Self-Manage Option was designed to allow Stewards who are currently self-managing (recycle) their EEE at the end of its life with a way to continue to do so under the OES Program. Following an evaluation and approval by OES, the Steward who self-manages their EEE is not absolved from their legal obligation under the OES Program. They may be exempt from remitting the full amount of the EHF, in lieu of paying a portion of common costs.
If your company is currently operating a self-managed program or wants to learn more about this option, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com.

5 Best Website Builders for eCommerce 2017
The booming eCommerce market attracts vendors of all sorts and types to go online and retail commodities on the brand new level. No wonder why. Nowadays to start a successful online store you need just a bit of courage, minimal investments and a reliable website builder for eCommerce. So if you are seeking your system, take a look at the best website builders for eCommerce 2017 below and pick the one that suits your business vision best!
- Pricing Policy: from $119 (depending on the package)
- Payment Methods: a manual payment, 2Checkout, PayPal Express, PostFinance, iDeal, Skrill, Payone, QuickPay, and YandexMoney
- Support: Ticketing System, Live Chat, Email, Phone Call (English and Russian).
Signing up for the trial for eCommerce templates from MotoCMS is truly delightful for two reasons. Firstly, this is the only website builder for eCommerce (out of 5 analyzed platforms) that needs just an email or social accounts when registering.
MotoCMS allows you to sign up for as many eCommerce templates as you wish free of charge. In addition, thanks to the live demo of MotoCMS website builder templates you can see what your future website looks like right away. This way you do not have to spend much time clicking through the entire collection of themes to find the one you need (like in another four website builders).
The admin panel from MotoCMS is based on drag-and-drop functionality. It is easy to manage. There are seven categories of handy widgets (e.g. social, media, blogging, gallery widgets etc.) on the left. Page properties are located on the right. The modes for desktop, tablet, and smartphone are at the top of the admin panel.
The eStore webs themes from MotoCMS look much more adapted for a specific eCommerce niche in comparison to other website builders. Compared to other eCommerce CMS in this list, the Products tab from MotoCMS is the only one that already contains ready-made templates of products and their descriptions.
- Pricing Policy: from free to monthly/annual payment of €14 / per user / per month
- Payment Methods: bank transfer, Paypal, Ingenico, Authorize.net, Adyen, Buckaroo, PayUmoney, Sips, Stripe. The store owner can also add other payment methods (available only in the developer mode)
- Support: Live Chat, Support Ticket, Phone Call (mainly in English; Dutch and French are optional).
Odoo is designed as an all-in-one software for the project management. However, it has the substantial eCommerce potential too. In a typical online shop from Odoo, you can customize every detail thanks to the Add Blocks tab on the left. The web builder contains content blocks like Text-Image, References, Call to Action, Parallax, and many others a user can take advantage of.
One of the advantages of Odoo is the way it deals with upselling and cross-selling. With Odoo, you can offer your prospective customers the alternative products, as well as the products' accessories they may like. You are also free to install the eCommerce Optional Products addon. This way your visitors will see several useful suggestions every time they add a product to the cart. To add the upselling and cross-selling functionality, use Sales tab in the Product description page.
- Pricing Policy: from $29 / per month (for Basic) to $299 / per month (for Advanced)
- Payment Methods: Shopify Payments, COD, Money Order, Bank Deposit, about 70 Сredit Сard Payment Providers
- Support: Live Chat, Email, Phone Call, Tweeter (English)
This website builder is aimed exclusively at creating eCommerce websites. The interface of the admin panel from Shopify looks tried and tested and user-friendly. A user will easily figure out how to get started with an eStore customization. Just open the Products tab and feel free to add all the necessary information about your assortment.
What distinguishes Shopify from the rest of the website builders in this chart is its own App Store that allows choosing a wide range of apps to suit your eCommerce niche. The prices apps vary from free to $39,99 and more.
This website builder for eCommerce can find experts for you. This offer is important for those who know next to nothing about how to do eCommerce business and require extra help with Shopify.
Develop a profitable e-store against the time – this is the epitomizing motto of the Shopify platform. A great example of powerful Shopify functionality can be indicated in a crystal clear responsive multipurpose theme named Roxxe.
Roxxe is more than just another all-in-one-eCommerce solution. It is a huge website project that reflects a user-friendly admin panel that performs amazing customization abilities of the platform. Additional functionality can be easily expanded with the help of the official Shopify applications that are fully compatible with the Roxxe theme.
It is known that Shopify has a reliable infrastructure along with optimized hardware and software. Together with the Shopify Roxxe template, you can personalize SEO product tags and get a better ranking in the Google search results.
Moreover, the Roxxe Shopify theme has an entirely responsive, clean, and modern design that covers another significant Shopify platform feature. Be on a roll, and try the mighty of this beginner-friendly, multifaceted eCommerce giant.
- Pricing Policy: $29.99 / per month
- Payment Methods: Stripe and PayPal
- Support: Live Chat, Email, Phone Call (English).
When signing up for your trial, you are offered to choose from a number of online store themes. This definitely distinguishes Webs from the other website builders under consideration.
NB: With MotoCMS, you register for a particular eCommerce template. When using Odoo, Shopify, and CloudCart, the choice of the template design is all about customizing a custom theme.
However, when it comes to customization with Webs, at first you might be put off by its color policy. How so? Hovering over a chosen website theme when signing up for the trial, you can see how many colors this theme is available in. Most templates are available only in one color.
But do not get misled! In fact, later you will be able to customize your color palette successfully. Just go to the Theme tab at the top and then choose the element that you need to work at (in this case, the body).
The admin panel of this website builder is located at the bottom of the page, which is kind of unconventional. With the drag-and-drop functionality, you can create a website by simply placing the content blocks in the suitable places.
Whereas it is really easy to create a website with the admin panel from Webs, the eCommerce potential is not fully presented in this website builder. For instance, the Commerce tab contains only three buttons, i.e. PayPal Buy Now, PayPal Donate, and Products. From what you see at the first glance, it might be an issue to track your orders, sort your clients, or see any statistics.
- Pricing Policy: from $7.49 / per month (for beginners) to $124.99 / per month (for professional merchants)
- Payment Methods: Virtual POS terminal Borica, Cash on Delivery (COD), ePay.bg, PayPal, Stripe, Skrill, Authorize.net, bank transfer
- Support: Live Chat, Email (English and Bulgarian)
After registering your 14-day trial, you will be redirected to the CloudCart admin panel. This is where you find the dashboard that contains all possible statistics concerning your online store.
The customization process with CloudCart is a bit long-winded. The biggest inconvenience is the badly structured collection of themes. There are no subcategories to choose from. That is why one has to browse through the whole collection to find a suitable template.
This website builder for eCommerce offers you to use three additional sales channels. These channels include eBay (in case you choose PayPal as one of your payment methods), Facebook, and Etsy (in the nearest future). So, CloudCart seems to be more advanced in terms of engaging external sales platforms than other website builders under analysis.
As you can see, there are many powerful website builders that can help you to build an online shop.
- MotoCMS stands out from other website builders because of its pricing (one-time payment) and the pre-purchase procedure (a renewable 14-day trial for any template).
- Shopify is remarkable thanks to the unprecedented number of payment methods.
- Webs seems to be an elegant solution for complete novices in eCommerce.
- Both CloudCart and Shopify contain an app store and can help you hire an expert to successfully launch your online business.
So, now it is up to you to decide which website builder for eCommerce should become the platform for your future online business!

I have been working on little tool to simplify my life and perhaps yours as developer as well. It is basically a command line tool that allows you to execute queries on your compiled .NET code base. The main purpose is to find out how big the impact of an api change would be if you changed this or that. Now you can do high level operations like
You can download it from CodePlex here. It works via XCopy deployment. Simply let it run and check the command line help out.
The best feature in my opinion is that the output of nearly all commands can be piped to Excel for further analysis. Since it does read also the pdbs it can show you the source file name and line number as well for all matches.
The following picture shows the output of a –WhousesType query. The following command checks where type from BaseLibraryV1.dll are used inside DependantLibV1.dll. All matches are printed out with the reason and matching item along with file and line number. There is even a hyper link to the match which will open Visual Studio.
ApiChange -whousestype "*" BaseLibraryV1.dll -in DependantLibV1.dll –excel
The "*" is the actual query which means all types. The syntax is the same like in C# just that placeholders are allowed ;-). More info's can be found at the Codeplex Documentation.
The tool was developed in a TDD style manner which means that it is heavily tested and already used by a quite large user base inside the company I do work for. Luckily for you I got the permission to make it public so you take advantage of it.
It is fully instrumented with tracing. If you find bugs simply add the –trace command line switch to find out what is failing and send me the output.
Your first guess might be that it uses reflection. Wrong. It is based on Mono Cecil a free IL parser with a fantastic API to access all internals of a managed assembly. The speed is awesome and to make it even faster I did make the tool heavily multi threaded. The query above did execute in 1.8s with the Excel output. On a rather slow machine I can analyze over 1500 assemblies in less than 40s with a very low memory consumption. The true power of Mono Cecil is that I can load an assembly like any other data file. I have no problems unloading a file but if I would have used reflection I would need to unload a whole AppDomain just to get rid of one assembly in my memory.
Just to give you a glimpse how ApiChange.Api.dll can be used I show you one of the unit tests:
public void Can_Find_GenericMethodInvocations_With_Type_Parameters()
// 1. Create an aggregator to collect our matches
UsageQueryAggregator agg = new UsageQueryAggregator();
// 2. This is the type we want to search for. Load it via the type query
var decimalType = TypeQuery.GetTypeByName(TestConstants.MscorlibAssembly, "System.Decimal");
// 3. register the type query which searches for uses of the Decimal type
new WhoUsesType(agg, decimalType);
// 4. Search for all users of the Decimal type in the DependandLibV1Assembly
// Extract matches and assert
Assert.AreEqual(2, agg.MethodMatches.Count, "Method match count");
Assert.AreEqual("UseGenericMethod", agg.MethodMatches[0].Match.Name);
Assert.AreEqual("UseGenericMethod", agg.MethodMatches[1].Match.Name);
Many thanks go from here to Jb Evian for the creation of Mono.Cecil. Without this fantastic piece of code it would have been much much harder. There are other options around like the Common Compiler Infrastructure Metadata Api which should do the same thing but it was not a real option since the Microsoft reader did fail on even simple assemblies (at least in September 2009 this was the case). Besides this I found the CCI Apis much harder to use. The only real competitor was Reflector which does support many things but does not let me access his cool high level analyze commands. So I decided to dig into the IL specs and as a result you can query your compiled binaries from the command line or programmatically.
The best thing is you try it out for yourself and give me some feedback what you miss. If you want to contribute or have a cool idea what should be added drop me a mail at A Kraus1@___No email@example.com. There is much more inside the tool I did not talk about it (yet).

Deputy Transportation Secretary John Porcari is stepping down after four and a half years of service.
In a message to DOT employees, Secretary Anthony Foxx thanked Porcari and said he has asked Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez to step in as Acting Deputy Secretary starting Jan. 1.
Porcari led the Department's effort to streamline the infrastructure project approval process and cut red tape, major initiatives of the last highway bill. He also increased enforcement of the Buy America program, Foxx said.
"Through these programs and so many others, John is leaving the Department and the Nation's transportation system stronger than when he started," Foxx said in his message.
"Both (former Transportation) Secretary (Ray) LaHood and I have benefited from having him by our sides at every step of the way."
As head of the Maryland Department of Transportation before taking the DOT job in June 2009, Porcari helped plan the rebuilding of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge across the Potomac River on I-95.
Mendez has been FHWA Administrator since 2009. Before then he was with the Arizona DOT and served as President of the Western Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.

Note that this example discusses the use of Wasabi's us-east-1 storage region. To use other Wasabi storage regions, please use the appropriate Wasabi service URL as described in this article.
Configuring awscli using the
In order to access your wasabi buckets with the CLI you must utilize the
$ aws configure
will bring up a series of prompts. where it calls for access key and secret access key you will enter your wasabi access key and the same for the secret. For the region, type "us-east-1". Finally you can leave the last setting blank.
Note: if you follow options 2 or 3 below you will have to configure the [wasasbi] profile after you create it.
to do so, simply type:
$ aws configure --profile wasabi
Using Wasabi with AWS CLI
There are three methods of utilizing wasabi with the CLI ranking from requiring the least amount configuration to most.
Option 1. Add the
subcommand after every command
Adding the following after every command you make in the CLI (make sure to use the appropriate service URL as noted here; it may be different than s3.wasabisys.com
if I want to list my buckets in the cli, I would type:
$ aws s3 ls --endpoint-url=https://s3.wasabisys.com
Option 2. using the
awscli-plugin-endpoint is a great plugin to help people more easily access third party S3 providers such as Wasabi.
Using the plugin requires you to create an additional profile in addition to the default one
Open the

--profile wasabi after every command instead of typing out the entire url
if I want to list my buckets in the cli, I would type:
$ aws s3 ls --profile wasabi
Option 3. using
export AWS_PROFILE
Once you have set up option 2, you can default the aws cli to point to the new profile at the beginning of your session. To do so follow the instructions below provided by AWS:
Linux, macOS, or Unix
export AWS_PROFILE=wasabi
set AWS_PROFILE=wasabi
Setting the environment variable changes the default profile until the end of your shell session, or until you set the variable to a different value.
if I want to list my buckets in the cli, I would type:
$ aws s3 ls
Using AWS CLI for cloud-to-cloud migration scenarios:
Install AWS CLI and configure using your AWS Access Key and Secret Key. The instructions for the same can be found here.
Configure additional AWS CLI profile for Wasabi account using the Wasabi keys. You can refer to this article.
