Small Business Security Step One: Stronger Passwords
Every so often, you see a news report about a major corporation that has been hacked, with thousands of records compromised. While the media often focuses only on large businesses, the truth is small businesses are even more vulnerable and experience security breaches on a much grander scale. In fact, nearly 50 percent of all cyber attacks actually target small businesses, with thousands of businesses affected each month.
There are several steps a small business must take in order to ensure sensitive data and private information remains secure and safe from hackers and identity thieves. But cyber security experts stress that one of the easiest and most important steps that should never be overlooked is to utilize strong passwords.
The Importance of Strong Passwords
A business's network is only secure as the weakest password. A strong password prevents hackers from easily discovering a password and gaining access to the network. Hackers using advanced password cracking tools can try thousands of password combinations per second, making it fairly easy to discover weak passwords.
Additionally, small business security protocols such as strong passwords need to be enacted to protect the network and data from insiders as well as outsiders, as negligent employees are the cause of nearly 50 percent of data breaches affecting small businesses.
A data breach puts your network at risk, exposing sensitive data to hackers and identity thieves, as well as allowing malicious hackers to wreak havoc on your network. Websites can be compromised and altered, important data can be erased, and customer or client information can be stolen.
What Is Considered a Strong Password?
A strong password is considered to be a series of at least 10 characters, consisting of both lowercase and uppercase letters, and at least one number and one special character such as an exclamation point. Additionally, it is recommended that a unique strong password is used for each account, rather than one password for several accounts. This ensures that if one account happens to be compromised, the hacker cannot use the same password to access other accounts.
Unfortunately, many businesses still engage in using easy-to-remember passwords as a matter of convenience. However, through the use of a password manager application, employees can more easily utilize unique strong passwords for multiple accounts without struggling to remember them all or have them written down where unauthorized personnel could find them.
What Is a Password Manager Application?
A password manager application is a tool that creates and stores strong, unique passwords for multiple accounts. You only need to remember the password for the password manager, and the application takes care of the rest, limiting password leaks and ensuring stronger small business security.
Beware of Phishing Attacks
As an extra security measure, educate your employees about phishing attacks. These typically appear as cleverly designed emails designed by hackers to trick the recipients into giving up their username and password to an account. The email may appear to come from a legitimate corporation, such as a bank or financial institution, Paypal, eBay, Apple, Google, and many others. The email usually claims that the account has been hacked or blocked for some reason, and in order to fix whatever the problem may be, the recipient needs to log in.
Links to login pages are provided in the email, but they are as false as the email itself. Clicking on the link takes the recipient to a web page that appears to be a part of the corporation's website but is actually a page created by the hacker. Once the recipient enters their login information, the hacker has their username and password and can begin using it to try to access the actual accounts.
Lastly, instruct your employees to keep their passwords secure and safe from prying eyes. Sharing passwords with others is a sure way to put your data security at risk.

Contractor tore existing roof off on Wednesday, and put peel and stick membrane on. They were supposed to come back Friday, and put shingles on. They did not. Came back Saturday morning(today) for a few hours, then it started raining. It has been raining for 10 hours now.Will the membrane hold up, and remain waterproof for all this time. It is not supposed to rain, for the next few days. We are assuming contractor will be back on Monday to finish job.
Should be fine - most of these are rated for a month or two exposed (though of course the less exposure to the sun the better), and will normally surface dry about as fast as the street - a few sunny or breezy hours without rain.Many contractors continue to apply shingles even with the roof water barrier damp from drizzle - maybe not best practice as it locks in wetness betweent he shingles and the membrane surface, but that is what it is there for - when ice damming or wind-blown rain or leakage through singles gets in under the shingles, so whjile not good practive if properly applied with correct top-over-bottom layer laps and end laps, should do fine.In fact, if they started putting shingles on before the rain started, you will have water in under the courses they already put on at this time - would be best if those aired out for a rain-free day (to let the heat of the shingles evaporate the moisture underneath), but not mandatory.I wouldnot worry - better to get the roof finished than worry about some trapped moisture, which should evaporate out through the shingles or at the ridge vent given a few dry days - especially if sunny, warm, and/or breezy.

In February, the Obama Administration said it would pay mortgage-servicing companies to modify existing home loans to make them more affordable an attempt to keep struggling borrowers in their houses and slow the escalating pace of foreclosures. In a way, the problem was an odd one. Lenders lose a lot of money during foreclosures and shouldn't need incentives to prevent them. The complexities of mortgage securities and the uncertainty surrounding future home prices and the economy, it seemed, were gumming up the system. A government push would get the wheels moving.
Well, cold cash money doesn't seem to be doing the trick too well either. On Tuesday, July 28, executives from firms such as Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo were invited to a meeting at the Treasury Department for a little pep talk about increasing the number of loan modifications. Officials at Treasury, along with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD; co-host of the head-knocking session), have been underwhelmed by the rewrites. The government's original goal was to get more-affordable monthly payments to 3 million to 4 million borrowers. As of mid-July, modification offers had gone out to 350,000 borrowers, but only 180,000 trial mods were under way, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
What accounts for the disappointing pace? According to Treasury and HUD, servicers aren't spending enough money or energy to make the program work. Treasury and HUD want the companies to add more staff, expand their call centers, train their representatives better, put more information online and create a system for dissatisfied borrowers to appeal their cases. To shame the firms into better participation, the government said that in August it will start revealing the number of modifications at each company and the long-term success of those rewrites.
But there's more to the holdup than a bunch of big companies dragging their feet. As the GAO report points out, Treasury itself has taken its time perhaps legitimately in rolling out details of the program. Only in late April did servicers get guidance on how to handle second liens. In May came information about dealing with geographic areas where home prices continue to decline quickly. Other details, like the process for modifying loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration, continue to emerge. It seems that writing the fine print for a program meant to spend up to $50 billion is tough to do quickly, especially when the office created to oversee it still has a large number of unfilled positions.
Furthermore, new research suggests that a key assumption made in creating monetary incentives for loan modifications that economic self-interest would make firms eager to modify loans may be wrong. Economists at MIT and the Federal Reserve banks of Boston and Atlanta have found that about 30% of borrowers who become seriously delinquent on their payments later catch up. A big deal has been made of the redefault rate the high number of borrowers who wind up missing even modified payments but the new finding about the large percentage of loans that "self-cure" indicates that servicers might actually be smart to delay rewriting many loans, since chances are they won't ultimately lead to foreclosure anyway. On top of that, servicers charge substantial penalty fees when loans are in delinquency or default a source of revenue that goes away if a homeowner gets back on track.
Whatever the cause, the result is a system packed with pain for any homeowner looking for help. By the summer of 2008, Charles and Jennifer Lively knew they were going to start having trouble with the mortgage on their home in the Boise, Idaho, area, since Charles's paycheck (he works in plumbing, tied to new construction) had taken a major hit. They called their lender and were told there was nothing to do until they missed a payment. Eventually, the couple did and applied for a modification four different times but kept getting turned down. They desperately asked why and what they had to do to make it work, but they couldn't get a straight answer.
It's a story of frustration told time and again, even by professional housing counselors like Tom Birch, who last month finally landed the Livelys a modification. One day not too long ago, Birch got a call back from a servicer a cause for celebration, considering how rarely his messages are returned. When he called the number back, the extension didn't work, but he tried not to let that dampen his excitement. His take: one step at a time.
For the feds, those steps need to come a little faster.


text: In order for individuals to receive services from an Ohio county board of developmental disabilities, they first must meet a list of pre-identified qualifications. Part of the determination process involves a psychological evaluation. In particular, an individual must possess an IQ score that is significantly below average (below 70) and substantial deficits on a standardized measure of adaptive behavior. Ohio departments of disability determination oversee waiver funding for individuals who qualify and also placements in CF/ID facilities. Updated psychological evaluations typically are required in order to receive these services. Often a ID evaluation includes IQ testing, adaptive behavior assessment, an interview with the client's caregiver (or another person knowledgeable of the client's daily activities), a client interview, and obtaining a psychosocial history. Presently, MVA provides developmental disability evaluations for individuals served by the Greene, Clark (Mueller Center), Champaign, Fayette, Miami, and Logan counties. Note that the APA diagnostic manual currently uses the phrase "mental retardation." It is often used synonymously with "intellectual disability" or "developmental disability."

This episode is the final objectification of Asuna as well as giving us a retreated of tropes that were already covered in the first half of the series. There is very little that is good that can be said about this episode and I'll get into that more later.
The story involves Yui and Kirito rescuing Asuna only for Oberon to trap them and begin raping Asuna while Kirito is slowly dying. He must find his inner power and beat the game to rescue her.
The Pros: Oberon's Death – Oberon gets tortured but Asuna doesn't get the kill after everything she went through. This character deserved much worse than what he got of being slowly cut to pieces and fully aware of it and experiencing the pain of it all. Was too good for him.
The Cons: Kirito the Hero – He finds his inner power and Kayaba's echo reminds him that he was there fight and break the game because of his will. We've already been here there is no reason to do this again.
Asuna's Rape – Asuna gets declothed and licked and a whole bunch of other horrible shit while Kirito is trapped because of the gravity and his own sword stabbed in his back. It's presented like Sansa's rape scene and is gratioutous and serves no purpose except to victimize one of the strongest people in this show who has been victimized for the entire second part of this arc. Really "Sword Art Online?" What purpose did this serve?
Oberon/Nobuyuki – One dimensional baddie rapes an innocent victim he's been harassing this entire episode and the entire second half of the series. This is not good writing and this character served no purpose but to victimize Asuna and glorify Kazuto/Kirito. What a waste.
The fact that a character getting tortured is a pro shows just how far down this episode is. The players and Asuna being freed doesn't even mean anything until the next episode because the tonal shift and rape on screen kind of make that feel meaningless. Serious "SAO" writers, what were you getting at with this crap? It is weak writing that does nothing and is like the writers are actively trying to sabotage their heroes (Asuna) and their show.
Final Score: 1 / 10

If you receive more services then just "Internet" from your ISP, you have either:
Please read this rather old article: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Erwuenschtes-Fremdgehen-291758.html in German language. This Forum Post might also help you with problems.
And this means that all data travels through your Router. Usually you get a Router with integrated DSL/DOCSIS or LTE functionality from your provider, such a device combines NAT-Router, Modem, Splitter and Telefon-Box in one device. And only a few of such devices are supported by OpenWrt, namely the ones which incorporate hardware, for which FOSS drivers are available. The devices for which only closed source drivers are available, will work with OpenWrt, but WITHOUT that functionality.
However you could connect a fully supported router behind the one provided by your ISP, and here is list of articles, which concern themselves with your possibilities:

The Safeway Pharmacy 10K-A-Day program is a great example of a walking program. The pedometer and information book kit is available at any Safeway Pharmacy.
On the website canadasafeway.10kaday.com you can find three virtual trails to walk through various parts of Canada. Sign up for a tip of the day, find information about healthy recipes, and join the Sole Mates, a virtual way to walk with others. Ask at your Safeway Pharmacy for more details.
Health Canada recommends 30 to 60 minutes of physical activity every day to stay healthy. Ten-minute blocks of activity can help you reach this goal. The benefits of physical activity range from decreasing stress and reducing body weight and blood glucose levels, to lowering your chances of developing cardiovascular disease or osteoporosis (less dense bones).
Many different forms of exercise are possible. Walking is the most common physical activity in Canada. While benefits are similar to other forms of exercise, walking is much easier on the joints. Little equipment is needed, except for comfortable clothing and proper footwear. Best of all, walking is free and can be done almost anywhere.
The number of steps people take in a day varies from person to person. Most inactive adults take between 2,000 and 4,000 steps per day. However, a healthy number of steps for most adults is 10,000 per day – about seven kilometres. Most of us need to make an effort to go out and walk to get enough steps in a day.
To count your steps, use a pedometer. This device records each step you take. Pedometers first became popular in Japan, where they have been used for many years.
A pedometer is worn at the waist and counts the number of steps by tracking the up-and-down motion of the hips. More sophisticated models measure kilometres, heart rate or calories burned. Most pedometers are not too expensive, ranging from ten to fifty dollars.
Research has shown that consistent physical activity, especially walking, improves overall health. By tracking the number of steps taken in a day, those who use pedometers are often motivated to go the extra mile. Most people like planning their own walking program using a pedometer, and feel a sense of accomplishment when they meet their goals each week. Pedometers are becoming a very popular, an inexpensive tool to measure and motivate daily physical activity.
Pedometer test days help to set goals. Wear your pedometer while taking your usual number of steps for a few days. Take the highest daily number and add 500 steps to find your first goal. Strive to walk this many steps each day for a week. Each week, add another 500 steps to your daily goal until you are consistently walking 10,000 steps per day.
Remember to check with your doctor before starting any new physical activity program. While 10,000 steps a day is a good goal for most adults, it may not be appropriate for everyone.
Adding extra activity to your daily schedule can become part of your usual routine. There are many ways to incorporate more steps in your daily routine.
Canada's Guide to Physical Activity gives even more tips and ideas for increasing physical activity. (You can find a copy at www.phac-aspc.gc.ca/pau-uap/paguide.)
Many people keep a record of their steps on a calendar. Some even use a website that has a map to track distance from one location to another. For example, Penticton Steps Out has walking programs for both adults and kids that have been used as models in British Columbia. (For more information, log on to www.stepsout.com.) Pedometer walking programs similar to the on-line variety are often offered through local community centres. Check into yours or just pick up a pedometer and start stepping.
Getting more physical activity is a good goal for most Canadians. Regular physical activity helps with weight loss and disease prevention, and can even improve your mood. Talk to your doctor before starting an activity program.

At its meeting tomorrow night, Asheville City Council will take up a rezoning in Kenilworth in the area of the rejected Caledonia Apartments project and a possible increase in recycling fees. Also, the annual city budget finally wends its way to a public hearing.
The proposed rezoning would change property around the Kenilworth Inn from institutional to residential zoning. Specifically, a sloping part of the land would change to a level of residential zoning that allows multi-family uses like duplexes or cottage developments, but not larger apartment complexes. Last October, developer Frank Howington proposed the 100-unit Caledonia Apartments on the site, but the project was unanimously rejected by Council. The developer then broke the project into two separate 50-unit buildings, avoiding a hearing before Council. Council then passed a change to the city's development rules to prevent such slightly modified projects from returning after they rejected them. The matter is currently the subject of a legal dispute.
The zoning change, endorsed by People Advocating Real Conservancy, the neighborhood activist group that opposed the original project, would further curtail the possibility of large development on the site, if the city wins the legal fight.
Council will also consider two options for an increased recycling fee, which would help pay for larger recycling bins under one option, and bins along with a recycling rewards under the other.
Also on the agenda is a public hearing on the city's proposed 2011-12 budget, presented at the last Council meeting. Council will vote on the budget May 24.
The meeting begins at 5 p.m., May 10 in Council's chambers on the second floor of City Hall.

- Riddle me this, riddle me that, who's afraid of the big, black bat?
Edward Nygma is the Riddler, a disgruntled Wayne Enterprises employee with a compulsion to leave riddles.
Edward Nygma was a scientist working for Wayne Enterprises who wanted to show its owner Bruce Wayne his latest invention: a device capable of generating realistic images from television signals into a person's brain. The device in its prototype form strangely looks like it was made with an electric food blender -- the shape that the final version of the product ends up taking later on. Wayne notices that Nygma says the device manipulates brain waves, which makes him say he cannot fund its development because it raises too many questions. Nygma fumes at the rejection and decides he will press on with working on the device with or without Wayne's support.
During Nygma's off-hours still working at his station at Wayne Enterprises on his invention, his superior Fred Stickley catches him and threatens to have security remove him. Nygma ties Fred up and makes him the test subject of his invention, causing him to be mesmerized by the incredible realistic images pumped into his brain. Then Nygma gives his invention more power, and suddenly he finds himself flooded with information his invention has sapped from Fred's brain, making him incredibly smarter. Stickley realizes that Wayne was right about the invention being mind manipulation and threatens to have Nygma incarcerated, put into a mental institution, and ultimately fired. Nygma pushes Fred in the chair he is tied to toward the main window overlooking the Gotham River, where he dangles as he is still tethered to Nygma's invention. He removes it from Fred's head and watches him plunge into the river, mocking his demise.
The next day, the police come on the scene to find a suicide note supposedly written by Nygma's superior Fred, and Wayne watches a security video recording where he supposedly went insane and purposely walked his way through the window to drown himself. Nygma feigns a mournful attitude and decides he will no longer work for Wayne Enterprises as the demise of Fred is too much for him to bear. Back at his apartment, Nygma goes to work to create all sorts of puzzling messages for Bruce Wayne to receive. He also watches as Harvey Dent, now known as Two-Face, causes chaos and murder at the circus, realizing that this was one man he wants to be like and one he has to meet. On deciding an identity for himself, Nygma looks at the green-suited man in the machine pointing his finger toward the question mark, and inspiration hits him.
Two-Face at his secret hideout with his two girlfriends Sugar and Spice gets an unexpected and unwelcome visit from Nygma, who now shows up wearing a green suit with question marks on it and a cane with a question mark on it, calling himself the Riddler. Two-Face threatens to kill the intruder unless he tells him how he managed to find out where he lived. Nygma shows him with an advanced version of his invention, which he now calls the Box, setting up two of them on top of television sets that Sugar and Spice each sit before, and then puts a handheld device toward his forehead to activate them, drawing from their brains everything they know. Nygma gives Two-Face a taste of what it does, but says the only way he can get more is if he helps Nygma steal enough money so he could manufacture and distribute Boxes all over Gotham, and from that he will help Two-Face know who Batman really is. Not liking intruders but intrigued by Nygma's invention, Two-Face flips his coin to decide whether to keep Riddler alive or to kill him.
Sure enough, the coin decides in Nygma's favor, and the two of them go off on a crime spree together, eventually resulting in the formation of Nygma Tech, where his Box is mass-produced and sitting in the homes of countless Gotham households. As they watch mesmerized by the images pumped into their brains, Nygma sits on a throne in his and Two-Face's new headquarters, overwhelmed by the amount of information he is absorbing from everyone.
He soon attends a gala party in Gotham where he shows off an advanced version of his Box to interested party guests. James Gordon finds himself on a tropical vacation, while an elderly woman finds herself crowned Miss America. Bruce Wayne enters one of these booths, and it instantly records the haunting secret of how he was inspired to become Batman. But the party is soon interrupted by Two-Face and his gang getting impatient for the Batman to show up. Batman does show and contend with Two-Face, who unsuccessfully tries to kill him. But Nygma shows Two-Face what his Box has recorded from Bruce Wayne's brain, that he truly is the Batman.
Later on, Riddler and Two-Face invade Wayne Manor as Bruce is alone with Chase Meridian, with Two-Face's goons kidnapping Chase and Nygma destroying things in the Batcave with his Riddler bat bombs. Two-Face gets a decision from his coin to kill Bruce when Nygma stops him from doing so, saying Bruce will never learn if he is dead, while leaving his last riddle for him to solve. Chase is taken to the Riddler's headquarters, where she is bound up and he is waiting for the Batman to show up.
Bruce Wayne discovers from all the riddles he has been given that the numbers in them are all connected to letters: 13, 1, 8, and 5, which in turn are M, A, H, and E. He deduces that 1 and 8 are actually 18, which then makes the letters MRE -- thus revealing it to be "mystery", or Mr. E, as in Mr. Ed Nygma. He then realizes that Nygma must have generated both the fake suicide note and the fake security video recording to cover up the murder of Fred Stickley. Batman in his new untested Batsuit goes to island where the Riddler's headquarters is with Dick Grayson as his partner Robin, with Batman flying the Batwing and Robin driving the Batboat. However, both Two-Face and the Riddler knock out both of their vehicles, causing them to swim ashore only for Robin to be taken when the headquarters rises high from the ground and be captured by Two-Face.
Batman climbs up the shaft to enter the main chamber where the Riddler awaits, taunting his adversary that he knows he is Bruce Wayne and testing him with a riddle by threatening to drop Chase Meridian and Robin into a watery grave. Batman says there is no way he can save both of them because the whole island is a death trap. The Riddler does not accept the answer as valid and proceeds to press the button, but Batman stops him with a riddle of his own, distracting him long enough to activate protective blinders before throwing a Batarang at the receptor fixture above the Riddler's throne. Nygma screams as the feedback from its destruction scrambles his brain, causing him to press the button to send Chase and Robin falling to their deaths. Batman quickly manages to rescue them both from dying while stopping Two-Face for good before telling a ruined Ed Nygma that he is Batman, not because he has to be, but now because he chooses to be. As he approaches Nygma to take him into custody, he screams as he now sees the image of a giant black bat coming toward him.
Later on at Arkham Asylum, Chase meets Nygma in his padded cell, who claims to know who Batman is. He jumps into view of her wearing his straitjacket and flapping his arms like wings, saying that he is the Batman.

If you have a Vitamix or are planning to get one for the holidays, do not pass "GO" until you have yourself a copy of THE VITAMIX COOKBOOK: 250 Delicious Whole Food Recipes to Make in Your Blender. This incredibly well done healthy cookbook, published by Jodi Berg, President and CEO of Vitamix, was recently sent my way. It is loaded with healthy recipes made easy, and it truly does not disappoint.
We make juices and smoothies in our Vitamix blender almost every single day. For years it was a great way to hide healthy organic veggies in my "refuses to eat anything green" son's diet. When my other son had a severely limited diet due to food allergies, the ability to be creative with flavors (and get the health benefits of organic fruits and veggies) was a tremendous help for this stressed out parent. Now my kids make their own healthy smoothies before or after school.
That is where our Vitamix use stopped. As someone who is not exactly a natural born cook, I had suspected that I could fool family and friends alike if only I would use my Vitamix for more than smoothies. Yet I was not sure where to begin.
When I heard about this new book I jumped on the chance to take a look at it for myself. Most of its healthy recipes take less than thirty minutes to prepare. The book includes ideas for breakfast and brunch (including smoothies), soups, side dishes, entrees, sauces, dressings, drinks, and desserts. There are several gluten-free recipes available in the book as well. You'll also find several tips for eating a nutritious whole foods diet.
I already knew that my Vitamix could chop, cream, blend, heat, grind, and churn – but not until now did I really understand just how many healthy recipes can be made in one (BPA free) household appliance.
If you are looking for healthy holiday recipes to serve to guests, there are tons to choose from. The Hot Crab and Artichoke Dip, Apple Ginger Crisp, Broccoli Cheese Soup, Tortilla Soup, and Granola Bars are all on my list.
Want a healthy recipe from the book to start off your holidays? How about this one for Chicken Potato Soup! It can be made gluten-free and completely organic. And if any of your guests are vegetarian, you can even set a portion aside before adding the chicken. If you are looking for a post-holiday recipe for your family, this one can be prepared using leftovers too!
Chicken Potato Soup Recipe
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Processing time: 5 – 6.5 minutes
Yield: 5 1/4 cups (1.2 liters)
1 cup low sodium or no salt added chicken or vegetable broth
1 1/2 cups skim milk
1/2 small onion, peeled (or 1/4 cup onion chopped)
3 medium russet potatoes, baked or boiled, with skin
1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 tablespoon spinach, cooked or frozen (I prefer cooked.)
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (5 oz), cooked and cut up
Salt (optional)
– Place the broth, milk, onion, 2 of the potatoes, and rosemary into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Select Variable 1 on the Vitamix. Turn the machine on and slowly increase the speed to Variable 10, then to High. Blend for 5 to 6 minutes, until heavy steam escapes from the vented lid.
– Reduce the speed to Variable 3 and remove the lid plug. Through the lid plug opening, add the spinach and remaining potato, and blend until the potato is chopped – about 10 seconds.
– Drop in the chicken and blend for an additional 5 seconds. Season with salt, if desired.
– Serve hot.
Does it get any easier than that?? Here's to those who aren't natural born cooks making a bit impression with healthy recipes. Bon Appetit!

Pete Gas spoke with CBS Local Sports on the one time he got heat in WWE and if age is catching up with Shane McMahon in the ring. Here are some of the highlights:
Getting heating for once riding around in a limo, rather than driving from show to show:
"I got called in once. For one incident, I got called in probably like two or three weeks in a row. Got yelled at for doing something. It's never fun, and I still claim innocence on it, but it doesn't matter. We were in Memphis, Tennessee for training. So when we weren't on television, we were there. We were told that we had to do all these shows in Memphis. So we had one loop where we had to go down to Louisiana through Mississippi. We had a huge loop on our off time. Then get back up to Memphis to travel.
It was a lot of driving and I had a car that I didn't want to put all the miles on. I had met this guy in a bar who had a limo service. He goes, 'Hey, I've got this stretched Navigator. How about you guys hop in and I'll drive you guys around? I'll do it for nothing.' He was just a wrestling fan, you know? Now we've got eight guys piled in. Actually, it was a bunch of guys from MCW, Memphis Championship Wrestling. Some of the guys were also doing developmental for WWE stuff, where they were on television as well, but they weren't doing much. We all piled into this big stretched limo with cans of beer and stuff. We'd pull up to these shows and open up the limo door and literally have a couple cans of beer falling out of it. Kevin Kelley would pull up and he'd be doing commentary for us in Memphis.
So, he's pulling up in a Ford Taurus and we're pulling up in a stretch and have all these cans. So word got back to the office that we weren't paying our dues in driving on the road, we were driving in stretched limo. So, literally, I got called into the office. They literally yelled at me two to three weeks in a row, and talked to me. Said, 'Do you understand why you're doing that? You're supposed to be paying your dues.' I understood, but I also thought, it's a free and it's someone driving us. We don't have to put the miles on the car. My theory was like, 'I understand but the guy was doing it for free.' The guy never took a dime or nothing, gas money, nothing. He was just happy to be driving us."
In regards to his in-ring style, if time is catching up with Shane McMahon:
"No, I think that's exactly why you saw what you saw out of him. Not to mention, he had an infection as well, which added to the fact of why he was in the hospital. He also has a hernia. Anyone who has ever had a hernia can understand what kind of pain the man was going through. But for the people who knocked the guy, I don't know how you can. He puts it all on the line for the company and really gives an effort like no other. He does some crazy stuff for a guy who's not a full-time wrestler. The guy's in a lot of pain, but he's not gonna allow that to stand in the way of performing at WrestleMania.
He goes above and beyond. I know that he's got some of those things fixed. I know that [for] a hernia alone, from what I understand, a normal person can't do anything for six weeks, let alone wrestle. So I wouldn't expect to see him in the ring doing anything for at least that amount of time. I haven't spoken to him since right after Mania, so I don't know what his intentions are. I know that he has a very high pain threshold, and he got through that match. He did a lot. Kudos to him for being able to do what he did."
Pete Gas also discussed more about Shane McMahon and the Greatest Royal Rumble. You can check out the full interview by clicking here.

The Trade Desk Says Its New Print Campaign 'Goes Against Everything We Believe'
The company is using 'the oldest form of media to tout new narratives'
The Trade Desk is currently the toast of the ad-tech sector, with the company's latest earnings report detailing how revenues rose 54 percent year-over-year to hit $112 million in the three months to June 30 and winning favor with investors.
Therefore, the fact that it has today taken the rare step of launching a print ad campaign in the mainstream press raises eyebrows and offers an insight into its eagerness to convince investors of its worth.
The new campaign consists of three print ads with tongue-in-cheek copy that reads, "Possibly the Worst Ad We'll Ever Run," "Buying This Ad Was Excruciating" and "This Pretty Much Goes Against Everything We Believe."
Ads are set to run in business-orientated mastheads including: The New York Times (both the domestic and international editions); The Mercury News and The Wall Street Journal for the remainder of the week commencing Sept. 10.
Devised by The Trade Desk's CMO Susan Vobejda and Jaclyn Ranere, vp of global brand marketing, along with creative shop VSA Partners, the campaign aims to demonstrate that "ads don't have to be the loudest in the room in order to be the most effective."
Instead, the programmatic outfit wants to better convince readers–presumably the investor community–that data-driven media campaigns executed using ad tech wares (such as The Trade Desk's demand-side platform) can be just as effective.
In short, the company hopes the campaign will use "the oldest form of media to tout new narratives" with Vobejda telling Adweek that the campaign "is a good reflection of the company" and geared towards getting advertisers to "think differently."
"We loved this idea when it first came together. The ads capture the moment where marketing is experiencing a foundational shift from mass media to data-driven, customer targeted digital channels," she added.
Since its latest earnings call, The Trade Desk's stock price has been riding the crest of a wave, with its market cap circling around the $6 billion mark this week–consider that 'the biggest deal in ad-tech history' was Google's purchase of DoubleClick for $3.1 billion–arguably making The Trade Desk the standard bearer for the sector.
However, debate does exist as to whether or not this is a fair valuation of the company, with Pivotal Research's senior analyst Brian Wieser eager to highlight that The Trade Desk's current high is the result of investors' willingness "to take a punt" on the stock.
He also goes on to point out that the fact that in recent weeks the trades on the ad-tech company's stock have averaged around $100 million a day in volume and this is evidence of a difference of opinion among investors.
He adds, "That means one of two possible things: one is that there is an active debate among investors about what the right valuation is; but ultimately it means that everyone is punting, and then you get this momentum-driven trade … and that can add about $1 billion in market cap, that is insane!" he told attendees at an ad-tech conference hosted earlier this week.

Jimmy Mubenga: A death waiting to happen?
Dominic Casciani
Home affairs correspondent
@BBCDomCon Twitter
- Published
The jury at the inquest of a man who died on a plane while he was being deported from the UK in October 2010 has returned a verdict of unlawful killing. The case of Jimmy Mubenga raises questions about how force can be used in immigration removals.
Jimmy Mubenga was being deported to Angola after serving a two-year prison sentence for assault occasioning actual bodily harm. He had appealed against deportation because he had been settled in the UK and his wife and children would be left behind.
There was a struggle between Mr Mubenga and three G4S security guards who had been employed by the then UK Border Agency to manage his departure from the country.
They restrained him, placed him in handcuffs and forced him into his seat. What happened next was the crucial question at the inquest.
The coroner, Karon Monaghan QC, told the jury there was no medical doubt that Mr Mubenga had died from "cardio-respiratory collapse" - but the question was how.
Mr Mubenga was escorted on to the flight by three guards from G4S - Terry Hughes, Colin Kayler and Stuart Tribelnig, the senior member of the team. They had all been taught how to use handcuffs and force.
Mr Tribelnig told the inquest that Mr Mubenga went to the toilet and then came out and lunged at him.
The guards said that as Mr Mubenga continued to fight against them, kicking out, he forced his own head and torso downwards as part of his resistance.
But Rosa Da Silva, a passenger sitting nearby, was among many who gave a different account in a statement that was read to the inquest.
"I could not see the black man's face because the security men had pushed his head forward but the man was screaming out," she said. "The security men was standing over him and trying to push him down or keep him down.
"The black man was screaming out. It was muffled but I could hear him say, 'Help, help, I can't breathe. You are killing me.'"
The commotion went on for about 15 minutes before Mr Mubenga went quiet. Mrs Da Silva thought that the security men had calmed down the detainee. Minutes later, the plane returned to the terminal and paramedics rushed on board.
The three security guards were arrested following the death. But almost two years later the Crown Prosecution Service said that there was insufficient evidence to charge anyone with gross negligence manslaughter.
'Carpet karaoke'
At the inquest, the guards said they had been told in training that someone could die from "positional asphyxia" if their head and torso were forced down to their knees while they were seated.
Ian Duckers, the G4S driver who took the team to the plane - but did not board the plane and witness the struggle - said that he had been warned in his training that "carpet karaoke", forcing someone down so their screams cannot be heard by other passengers, was not allowed.
But was this a death waiting to happen? Have the authorities failed to properly assess the use of force on immigration removal flights?
Campaigners say that, two years before Mr Mubenga died, they warned the UK Border Agency of the dangerous use of force during immigration removals.
Medical Justice, a charity that provides clinicians to independently examine immigration detainees, looked at 300 cases of people facing immigration removal.
It found in a report that 42 people of them had their heads forced downwards by security officers in a way that made it difficult for them to breathe.
Dr Naomi Hartree of the charity says that to this day expert concerns have not been addressed because there is no proper guidance on which restraints to use in confined spaces such as planes.
"What we have seen so far is that even after our own 2008 report these kinds of problems are still going on.
"People are continuing to say that their head is forced downwards to their knees. This is not something in the past, it is something that is continuing to happen.
"This is another death waiting to happen."
Nine months after Mr Mubenga's death, experts from Coventry University produced a report that underlined that concern.
They published the results of a detailed experiment in which 40 volunteers were restrained in the controversial seated position.
The volunteers experienced breathing problems and some became alarmed and distressed. Those with larger waists suffered the worst lost of oxygen. The scientists concluded that the position, coupled with prolonged restraint, could be fatal.
The guidance for immigration removal teams is the Use of Force Training Manual, developed for use in prisons.
The manual includes a clear warning about the risks of positional asphyxia - but a great deal of the detail on special restraints has been redacted from the public version of the document.
New guidance
The cross-party Home Affairs Committee also raised its own concerns in a report, saying that it was "not persuaded that head-down restraint positions are never used, even though they are not authorised".
This inquest verdict is extremely serious. The Crown Prosecution Service has already said it will review its decision not to prosecute anyone over the death.
But it will renew calls for the Home Office to fully review how deportations are managed. Anecdotal and ad hoc reports of injuries are now backed up by the full force of an inquest jury declaring that someone was unlawfully killed.
Legal campaigner group Liberty went to court to try to force the publication of the redacted parts of the Use of Force Manual. It argued that nobody could know if restraint techniques for removals were safe if nobody knew what they were.
The Home Office won the court battle after arguing that publicising the techniques could help people to avoid restraint. In court it stressed that private security guards who are employed to enforce removals know about the risks.
Well since then, the Home Office has begun to look again at how deportations can be enforced.
It has asked prison service officials to come up with "bespoke training" for immigration removals. The Home Office maintains that the techniques in the existing manual are safe, yet the bespoke package will include specific guidance on how to control someone once on board an aircraft. The results will not be known for many, many months.

Cutting Costs While Raising Babies
By Kara Kelso
Raising children is expensive, so saving money wherever we can is important (moms need the money for those rare trips to the spa so they can relax, right?). Here are a few simple ways to cut your costs when you have a baby:
1. Make Baby Food
Instead of buying the expensive jars of baby food - make it instead! Blenders are a great investment, and if you can get one second hand that's even better. When you cook supper, save aside some of your meal to throw in the blender. The baby's age will of course determin what will food you make for them. Potatoes are always a good thing to have on hand and cook up quickly.
2. Buy cheap diapers with the name brands
Some of us may have learned the hard way that the cheaper diapers are no good over night or on outings. But when you plan to just stay home, put your little one in a cheap diaper. Save the expensive ones for over night and on car rides.
3. Buy resuable wipes
Cotton wipes are fantastic, and can even save you money. While the initial cost may appear to be more, you will save money in the long run. Don't forget a low cost natural wet wipe solution! If you prefer not to wash them out when you have a dirty diaper, have some store brand wipes on hand to use just for that.
4. Double up on baths
If you have two or more children, throw them all in the tub at the same time. Do it while they are little because you can't do this later. The kids will enjoy being able to splash in the tub together, and it will save you time as well.
5. Buy second hand clothes
No sence in buying hundreds of dollars in new clothes when they grow out of them so fast. Have a few sets of nice, new clothes, but buy the majority of them from second hand stores or garage sales. When they grow out of them, you can hold a garage sale yourself or donate them back to the second hand store.
6. Breast feed, if possible
Formula is expensive! It's amazing what a newborn can eat, so if possible, alway breastfeed them for the first several months. Not only is it free, but you are also getting your child off to a wonderful start.
These are just a few ideas that you can use to cut costs. Take some of that money that you will save over the year and do something special with the kids!

The Vibiana Project was the first phase of a restoration to the second oldest building in Los Angeles. The historic cathedral was seismically retrofitted in preparation for future use as a performing arts complex and event venue. This first phase included selective demolition and the protection of existing historical elements; the construction of new footings and concrete shear walls; the repair of the unreinforced masonry walls and the plaster that covers them; the replacement of the old roofs; the strengthening of the building's wood framing; the pinning and cleaning of the limestone facade; and the refurbishment of numerous windows.
Part of the seismic retrofit work at Vibiana involved a structural upgrade to the existing wood floors. This turned out to be more difficult than originally expected when it was discovered that there were no access openings through which to bring new beams and joists. The innovative PCL team opted to cut strategic openings in the plywood subfloor, through which they threaded all their materials, and then patched the holes with the same piece that had been removed. In addition, some of the crawl spaces under the floor were a full foot shorter than was illustrated in the plans, but PCL's carpenters worked with what they had, in very confined quarters, to install the supplementary framing.

The business in India is a new wave of trend being followed globally. Investing in India's economy is becoming a big attraction for the foreign investors especially due to the booming Indian economy and the staggering economy of the developed countries. The investment guide is another tool with respect to providing services to the Indian community. India Connect is one of the favoured slogan for forming the connection with non-resident Indians (NRIs). Ministry of Overseas takes out a monthly newsletter India Connect targeting the Overseas Investors, NRIs etc to come forward to do business in India. Through its knowledge partners, it provides part of the investment guide as it provides information and also explains as and to set up a business in India.
The robust Indian economy has become a trend to follow on and the business investments being attracted are becoming part of the rising economic bandwagon to prosperity. The vast investment opportunities available and the positive investment climate in India have become a part of every business entrepreneur's life. The Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs has set up an Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre (OIFC) as a not-for-profit-trust, in partnership with Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to promote investment opportunities amongst the overseas Indians. OIFC also assists the States in India to project investment opportunities to Overseas Indians and help them make business investments.
The India Connect concept is most favoured as India has always been a great fascinating destination for the foreign players especially with the large population base with a huge opportunity to do business investments. The developing countries have been acclaimed as the forerunners of the global economy and in its revival. It is important to understand that India is ready and is an indistinctively important destination for foreign direct investments (FDI) in India and to make business investments. The recent remarks by Barack Obama, the US President that India is not simply emerging but has already emerged is in itself self-explanatory to the India's potential.
The investment guide to do business in India is being provided with various forms of services â handholding services is one of them. It is such remarks by prominent personalities, which strengthen the claims and the prestige of India. Furthermore, France's support for India to obtain a permanent seat at United Nations Security Council (UNSC) portrays the importance of India. It thus, becomes important for various organisations providing investment guidance to come forward and to help understand business in India.
The services such as handholding services help investors to do business in India and provide investment guide from conception to completion of the project. Such services support companies of all countries interested in business investments to record FDI in India etc.
The States are being encouraged to actively promote their investment opportunities/ projects/ business investments. Some of the most favored destinations being Chennai, Hyderabad Bengaluru etc. The various services offered by the States to assist the non-resident Indians (NRI's), overseas Indians and high networth individual's (HNI) potray the interest of the respective governments to assist as well as attract FDI in India and indirectly help in developing the state's infrastructure. Such services help in creating a conducive environment for FDI in India.

From a walk in the woods I sometimes take with the dog. It's off the beaten path in the most literal sense and involves trekking through a few fields, scrambling over rocks and a few hills. And then there's this part that I always forget about, with a fence that might be electric, but I've never been brave enough to truly test it it's not. When I processed the photo like this, my wife thought looked like something from the frontlines of WWI.
Thanks for visiting. I really appreciate your support and comments!

Miami Herald: Nigeria better-placed than ever for a World Cup?
Nigeria may be better-placed than ever to go far at the World Cup if the problems posed by an overbearing football federation stay away.
Nigeria ended a long slump to win the African Cup last year with a powerful display in South Africa under coach Stephen Keshi, beating Ivory Coast and Mali on the way to its first continental title in nearly 20 years.
But off-the-field issues have followed the team and Keshi, Nigeria's captain in 1994 when the country previously won the African Cup and went on to make the second round at the World Cup in the United States as group winner over Argentina.
Keshi quit as coach right after Nigeria won the continental title a year ago, a clear indication of the friction between him and the Nigeria Football Federation. He was convinced to stay, but has sometimes gone months without pay and in the latest of many squabbles had to fend off demands from the NFF that he name his World Cup players two months before the tournament.
The Nigerian public, boosted by the African Cup triumph, also demand the team's best-ever performance at a World Cup and a place in the quarterfinals, even if the Super Eagles failed to win a game in their last two World Cup appearances and haven't made the second round since 1998.
'We still have a lot of work to be done,' Keshi said in response to the now constant question about whether the squad he coaches will do better than the team he captained in 1994. 'Our plan is to try and win our games, game by game, until the end of the tournament.'
The 1994 World Cup team is still the benchmark for Nigeria, which will again face Argentina in the group stage in Brazil, along with Bosnia and Iran.
But Lionel Messi and Argentina aside, Nigeria should expect to qualify for the second round ahead of the other two countries in Group F and may have better strength in depth than the team Keshi led two decades ago.
Forwards Emmanuel Emenike and Victor Moses are powerful and quick, and Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has plenty to prove after falling out of favor at his Premier League club.
Mikel will likely be joined in the center of midfield by 21-year-old Lazio player Ogenyi Onazi, and Sunday Mba was a huge success at the African Cup playing behind the strikers.

In most countries, mining companies are required to follow stringent environmental and rehabilitation codes in order to minimize environmental impact and avoid impacts on human health. Even with this regulation and oversight, the impacts are substantial.
In 2004 alone, domestic mining operations were responsible for the release of 1.7 billion pounds of toxic metal waste into the environment. Most of this material is contained in tailing ponds, bodies of water containing liquid effluents or wastewater separated out during the processing of mineral ores. Due to the technical difficulties associated with isolating the metals present in this water, reprocessing of the effluents to increase mine yields is generally not performed.
Because of the ease of use, high binding capacity, and rapid kinetics of the binding of the majority of these metals to Periodic Products' polymer compounds, the use of these materials in the treatment of these effluents represents a significant advance in both reducing the environmental impact of these tailing ponds and increasing the yield of metals recovered from these mining operations.

2019 Toyota Camry Auto Show
2019 Toyota Camry Auto Show – The Toyota Camry is an extraordinary auto – despite the fact that the Camry makes up a reasonable extent of vehicles we see on each drive. It's the eighth era of Toyota's smash hit standard moderate size vehicle and makes its reality make a big appearance at the 2017 Detroit appear. That is the Catch 22 about the Camry. There are millions out and about. We underestimate them. Be that as it may, to be that effective takes a specific sort of ability. One ability that is never more often than not connected with this auto, however, is driving fun. Toyota is embarking to change this situation.
The full audit of the 2019 Toyota Camry is coming soon. Meanwhile, you can see pictures, look into costs or view and analyze specs for the 2018 Toyota Camry. In case you're thinking about the 2017 Toyota Camry, which positions 1 out of 19 Midsize Cars, read our audit to discover more. The Toyota Camry has been completely upgraded for the 2018 model year and brings both tasteful and innovative changes. The Camry gets another inside and outside, and certain components that were beforehand just accessible in upper trims are currently standard. Three new powertrains increment power, and two game models emerge with particular body styles. Costs and a discharge date are not yet accessible for the 2018 Camry.
2019 Toyota Camry Auto Show Review
The pattern these days is that individuals are purchasing more SUVs and less cars, making it progressively less applicable which vehicle is the top rated one in America. For the record, it's been the Toyota Camry throughout the previous 15 years, which is one hell of a run. A year ago, Toyota sold 388,618 Camrys, more than some other car in America.
The motor decisions are the same in any case: a 203-hp (206 in the SXE) 2.5-liter direct-infused four and a 301-hp 3.5-liter DI V6. The immediate infusion in all cases is Toyota's propelled D-4S, which infuses air/fuel blend both into the chamber and upstream of the valves as required. The two motors are mated to an "Immediate Shift" eight-speed programmed with paddle shifts, however the proportions are distinctive. Control weights territory from 3,241 in the base L show (good fortunes discovering one of those!) to 3,549 in the 2019 Toyota Camry XLE.
The Camry Hybrid, in the interim has a 176-hp 2.5-liter four mated to a 118-hp (88-kW) lasting magnet synchronous engine for a half and half framework net drive rating of 208 hp. It's mated to a persistently factor transmission.
All new 2019 Camry are lower and more extensive than the old: 1 inch lower, a large portion of an inch more extensive and with the focal point of gravity brought around very nearly an inch. That smooth new outside brought drag around a tenth to 0.27. The majority of this looks good for the driving background.
2019 Toyota Camry Auto Show Release
In any case, that figure is down 40,000 deals contrasted with the prior year. All moderate size vehicle pioneers are down: Fusion is off by 34,000, Altima by 26K, Sonata by 14K and Accord by 10,000. Just the Chevy Impala developed in deals, going from 194,854 of every 2015 to 227,881 a year ago.
With respect to esteem, Toyota is charging for the changes made to the Camry. Another rental-review stripper L demonstrate begins $425 over the 2017 LE, at $24,380. The rest increment by somewhere in the range of $930 (LE, which now gets standard 17-inch aluminum wheels) to $3,580 for the XSE V-6. The best arrangement is presumably the LE Hybrid, where the $1,010 increment more than 2017 purchases that lithium-particle battery, greater trunk, and 12-mpg EPA-consolidated rating knock.
Autoweek perusers who are purchasing Camrys (what number of you are out there?) will need the SE or the XSE. They're more enjoyable than you at any point thought you'd have in a 2019 Toyota Camry Auto Show. Every other person will need to pick from whatever is left of the lineup in view of how much cash you have and what number of mpgs you require. In view of one day spent driving five Camrys 25–30 miles each, we're notice Honda to carry its A+ amusement with the tenth gen Accord—which likewise hits dealerships this fall. With this audacious, intense exertion, Toyota is truly sustaining its position as ruler of the fair sized car.

27 Dec Company Donates Products and $10,000 to Louisiana Disaster Relief
Banana producer One Banana recently partnered with Convoy of Hope Disaster Services Team to help deliver disaster relief to Louisiana communities affected by the recent statewide flooding. As noted by the American Red Cross, the August flooding in Louisiana damaged well over 60,000 homes and left thousands of families homeless. One Banana—hoping to make a difference with direct and substantial Louisiana disaster relief—donated $10,000 to those families and communities affected by the massive floods.
One Banana's charitable partner, Convoy of Hope, also sent 41 truckloads of emergency supplies, water, and food items to affected communities. Ultimately, the company ended up providing disaster relief to roughly 40,000 people. Hal Donaldson, the president and co-founder of Convoy of Hope, noted that the company is working closely with its corporate partners—such as One Banana—to distribute supplies and other much-needed personal materials to flood victims across Louisiana. "Once the immediate needs have been met, we can start debris removal and cleanup operations," he said. Bernhard Roehrs, the corporate director for One Banana, noted that the company decided to partner with Convoy because of its commitment to getting "boots on the ground to aid disaster victims personally and directly," he said. Together, the two companies hope to bring about long-lasting Louisiana disaster relief.
One Banana and Convoy of Hope's Louisiana disaster relief efforts serve as a notable example of the true benefits of private sector and nonprofit partnerships. By working together, the two organizations were able to bring about tremendous relief to the people of Louisiana, effectively helping a number of families and communities to get back on their feet.

Description:I have a perl program that forks like it's no tomorrow... I want to know the total memory usage at any given time. This seems tricky to me since much of the memory (most of the perl interpreter, in fact) is shared between all processes. I would also like to know the total CPU time used, including from child processes that may have died. The Proc::ProcessTable will give me many useful fields, but it seems I may have to add some of these numbers together in order to get what I want.

Swanley meat business sold chicken 'unfit for human consumption' to takeaways across London and south east
PUBLISHED: 16:17 28 September 2017 | UPDATED: 16:17 28 September 2017
The owner of the company has been jailed
Nearly 12 tonnes of chicken bound for takeaways around the south east has been destroyed after an investigation found it was "unfit for human consumption".
An investigation by Sevenoaks District Council discovered the meat, being sold from a Swanley based business, was on its way to kebab shops, food manufacturers and other food businesses across London and the south east.
The business owner, Sukru Ahmet of East Rochester Way, Sidcup, used a converted concrete mixer to manufacture chicken doner kebab meat for his company, UK Chicken Doner & Poultry Ltd.
An investigation from the council discovered the 60-year-old had been selling the unsafe poultry since at least November 2014 from units at Upper Hockenden Farm in Maidstone Road, Swanley.
In November 2015, Ahmet told the council he intended to run a food business.
He was told he would need council approval, but Ahmet then told inspectors he would not be processing meat.
The following month, three inspections by environmental health officers discovered this wasn't the case.
Despite a notice to stop, officers found and seized 11.75 tonnes of poultry in April 2016.
An investigation into Ahmet's businesses found he had been trading under another name, United Meat and Poultry Suppliers, from November 2014 to December 2015, without the council's approval.
Officers discovered meat past its use-by dates was ready to be sold, while other packages had no clear dates, and some products from Germany had been relabelled to claim they had been produced in the UK.
Officers also found a lack of records, including where meat had been processed, or when it had been frozen.
The discovery led to all 11.75 tonnes of chicken being incinerated.
In March, Ahmet plead guilty to 21 charges of breaching food safety and hygiene laws.
Today, (Thursday), Ahmet was jailed for four months and ordered to pay both the council's and the court's trial costs, totalling £11,880, with his company also given a £30,000 fine and made to pay the other half of costs, totalling £53,760.
A Prohibition Order to prevent Mr Ahmet from managing any food business in future was also granted.
Matthew Dickins, the cabinet member for direct and trading services, said: "This is one of the most serious breaches of food safety laws the Council has ever come across. Consumers must have confidence that their meat is prepared in a safe, approved environment and is fit for them to eat.
"Sukru Ahmet and his company had no regard for the food safety laws that exist to protect the public. The substantial fine and custodial sentence handed down by the court demonstrates the seriousness of the case."

There's been a pretty big stink this week about how Google's new anti-piracy system isn't all that great and is, in fact, easy to circumvent. We haven't posted the steps in how to bypass the licensing tool here on AndroidGuys as we don't see any real value in it. Piracy just isn't cool.
Developer Advocate Tim Bray has taken to the Android Developers blog and acknowledged that the new licensing server is far from perfect. But, as Bray reminds us, the "Google Licensing Service is still…the best option for copy protection." Things are getting better all the time and developers are benefiting from new tools and systems. Piracy will never completely go away, but Google wants to do what they can to make it difficult. For Tim's full response, replete with bullet point details, head to the Developers Blog.
