On January 12, a massive earthquake struck Haiti. The earthquake measured 7.0 on the Richter Scale. Devastating aftershocks followed. The confirmed death toll is 150,000 people and the Red Cross estimates that nearly 3 million people will be affected by the disaster.
By comparison, Hurricane Katrina, considered to be the largest natural disaster in the history of the United States left 1,836 people dead.
Less than two weeks after the earthquake, on January 22, 2010, Congress pushed through a provision to benefit those that donate to Haiti relief efforts. The provision would allow taxpayers who itemize deductions to deduct charitable donations to qualified Haiti relief organizations on their 2009 tax returns. The donations must be in cash or cash equivalent. This means cash, check, credit card or debit card contributions – as well as text message donations. In kind donations, such as donations of water or medical supplies, won't count for purposes of the accelerated deduction; those deductions will have to be claimed as they normally would, on a taxpayer's 2010 return. To qualify, contributions must be made after January 11, 2010, and before March 1, 2010.
The new law is modeled after a 2005 law that allowed taxpayers to take deductions for donations made to charitable organizations providing Indian Ocean tsunami relief on their 2004 or 2005 tax returns. The death toll from the tsunami was said to be nearly 170,000 with more than 100,000 additional people listed as missing.
As with Haiti, the infrastructure and poverty contributed to much of the devastation in the Indian Ocean. In both cases, much of the tragedy had happened before the first winds blew or the first tremors started. And that made recovery so much more difficult – and important.
So maybe the rationale behind these tweaks in the law is that it's okay to create an incentive to support certain charitable causes over others because the need is so great? Greater than what? Every other cause?
Don't get me wrong. I'm all for charity. I donated for Haiti. I donated for the tsunami. And I donated for Katrina. In fact, I support a lot of charities. This isn't tooting my own horn – I happen to think that I'm like most Americans. We are, as a rule, a pretty generous people. In fact, the Giving USA Foundation estimates total charitable contributions given by Americans in 2007 to be $306.39 billion; about 75% of those contributions were given by individual donors.
But I don't think that changing the rules for Haiti make sense – anymore than they did for the tsunami. And not because Haiti isn't important. I *get* that it is. But more because I think it sends a weird message about our tax policy. It says that today, we value those donations more than we value others.
Here's some food for thought:
- 3.1 million people die of AIDS every year; 20,000 of those are in North America.
- This year, about 562,340 Americans are expected to die of cancer, at a rate of more than 1,500 people a day. Of particular interest to me since my grandmother died of breast cancer, an estimated 40,610 breast cancer deaths (40,170 women, 440 men) were expected in 2009.
- In 2008, an estimated 11,773 people died in drunk driving crashes.
- And an estimated 100,000 children in the US go to bed hungry on a typical day.
So, why aren't we ramping up the donation rules for RED, Komen, MADD, or Feeding America? Are those causes just not dramatic enough?
I think that's part of it. I think folks are willing to help out after tornadoes, hurricanes and natural disasters because those events are so big and terrible and singular. And except for Pat Robertson, most people believe that the victims of those disasters had nothing to do with them.
But you don't see these dramatic telethons for drunk driving. Or the Coast Guard mobilizing for AIDS relief. And you definitely don't see Congress saying, "Let's change the rules" for any of those causes. Why is that?
What does it take to make Congress blink? Is it a body count? A dollar amount? The number of cameras that are rolling?
Whatever it is, I don't get it.
Congress uses tax policy to affect behavior all of the time. It's why we have a home mortgage interest deduction (to encourage us to buy homes), a new car sales tax deduction (to get us to buy new cars) and a tobacco tax (to punish us for smoking). Social engineering through tax policy isn't new.
But I'm a little stymied as to what the tax policy is behind the Haiti vote.
On January 18, the Red Cross reported that they had received donations of $112 million for relief related to Haiti. By Tuesday, charitable organizations were reporting donations in excess of $220 million targeted for Haiti relief. The new law was passed on Friday, days after those numbers were spiking because… why exactly? Taxpayers weren't giving enough? That clearly wasn't the case.
In fact, in the middle of a recession, taxpayers have proven that they didn't need an extra incentive. They were opening their hearts and their wallets to the people of Haiti because they cared. Prioritizing Haiti in this way – saying that we're willing to make an exception in this case – isn't doing anyone any favors.
Or am I getting this all wrong?

Our commitment to EDI is explicitly stated in our Strategic Plan under Theme 5 ('Strong foundations for the future'). We say there that we will: 'Work towards a more flexible, diverse and inclusive working environment and foster a research and learning culture that looks outward, compares and shares ideas and encourages innovation to achieve our aims.'
Over the past year, we have been doing quite a bit of thinking about how we ensure that our approach to EDI is, literally, inclusive. As a first step, we are launching an EDI Forum which, as a Non-School Institution Equality and Diversity Champion, Kirsty Allen will chair and Natalie Deighton will co-ordinate.

Do you view the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States as " transferring power from Washington, D.C. and giving it back to you, the people"?
"For too long, a small group in our nation's capital has reaped the rewards of government while the people have borne the cost. " Agree or disagree?
"Rusted-out factories [are] scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation." Agree or disagree?
Do you agree that "an education system flush with cash but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of all knowledge"?
President Trump said that "carnage" existed in the nation. Do you see carnage as occurring where you live?
Do you believe that "America's infrastructure has fallen into disrepair and decay"?
"Protection [i.e. trade policies that encourage Americans to buy American products] will lead to great prosperity and strength." Do you agree or disagree?
Are you optimistic or pessimistic about a Trump presidency?

The domain name dpdcourier.com was previously reported in viewtopic.php?f=17&t=39121 & https://www.scamsurvivors.com/forum/vie ... =6&t=38969 while being used in a recovery scam in 2015. At that time, the fake site was operated by a Nigerian fraudster.
The real DPD ( Dynamic Parcel Distribution GmbH) is being impersonated since 2007 by various fake sites pretending to be them or using content stolen from the company website.
The company has also an Internet Fraud Warning on their site: https://www.dpd.com/nl_en/business_cust ... ud_warning.
Since 2010, the company tried to protect their identity following the legal ways of protecting their brand, while the company was impersonated online by various fraudulent sites:
- dpd.es - 2010
- dpd-expressinc.com and dpdservicesinc.com - 2014
- dpdservice.net and dpd-transport.com - 2016
- dpdspedition.com - 2017
The cost of an UDPR for a company trying to defend it's name is roughly $2.500. A fraudster can register a fake domain name from 79 cents to $10, if he is not using a free subdomain. Even if the company wins and gains the control of the fake domain abusing it's identity, another fake domain name will just be registered sooner or later, without anyone checking before allowing that fraudulent domain name to become active. All the checks (if any) are done only after a victim loses money because of the fraudulent domain name and only if the domain name is reported. Even if reported, there are enough cases where Registrars turn a blind eye and do nothing, forcing the company to defend it's name in costly processes; in the meantime the average Internet user is getting defrauded again and again by the same domain names until they expire.
The fake site claims to be an escrow company.

Let say that Registrar checks are not extended to the domain name abusing the identity of another company. The content of the domain name seems to be also nobody's responsibility.
Most of the locations (and at least one of the phone numbers ) are stolen from MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company - the real company has nothing to do with the fraud. The scammers operating the fake site are re-using the same stolen locations and phone numbers on all of their fake sites used in similar fraud attempts.

Ask an Actuary
Ask an Actuary
Kwame Davis, FCAS, MAAA, is a consulting actuary at Willis Towers Watson in the Washington, DC metro area.
Q: When did you first decide to become an actuary?
After trying to become an accountant didn't appeal to me.
Q: Who or what influenced your decision?
The need for more in-depth analysis influenced my decision. I also learned about the profession at a college fair at my high school in Trinidad and Tobago.
Q: What is your educational background? Where did you attend college, and what was your major? Did you have any internships during college?
I have a bachelor of business administration in Insurance from Howard University. Yes, I had 3 internships after each year of college. I had to really promote myself to get the first internship.
Q: What classes did you take in college that helped prepare you for the career? What class was most helpful? What non-quantitative classes were helpful?
Calculus, probability and statistics were quite helpful. My English, philosophy and business communications classes helped me think critically as well and to express myself articulately.
Q: What was your first job in the profession? How did you get the job? Did you start as an intern or in an actuarial training program? What type of work did you perform in you first actuarial job?
I was an intern working on health and retirement analyses. I did mainly benefit calculations. I did this for two summers then I switched to property/casualty for my last internship with the company that eventually became my current employer - Willis Towers Watson.
Q: Was the job like you expected? Did you have any second thoughts?
Not quite. The job has tested my skills to be sure and provided tremendous growth but I didn't expect to spend as much time communicating via e-mail. My career is much more collaborative than I imagined. Exams were also tougher than expected.
Q: When did you take your first exam? How long did it take for you to get through the exam process? Did you find studying for exams to be very helpful for your work?
I sat for my first exam just after completing freshmen year. The entire exam process took approximately 7 ½- 9 years depending on if you count the year I took off from exams for senior year of college. Yes, exams have been helpful for my job though the degree of helpfulness varied significantly by exam.
Q: What was your career path from your first job to your current position?
I was an intern, then was hired full time as a junior analyst, grew into a senior analyst and then made the leap to consultant. All at the same firm, Willis Towers Watson which was formerly Towers Perrin then merged to become Towers Watson and merged again to become Willis Towers Watson.
Q: What type of work do you do on a day-to-day basis in your current position?
I am primarily a reserving actuary so I help my clients decide how much they need to set asisde for their various property/casualty exposures.
Q: How long have you been in the profession?
10-11 years (as a full time employee not including internships)
Q: What do you like best about your job?
The ability to work on a wide variety of assignments. There is rarely a dull moment.
Q: What advice would you give to students who are interested in becoming an actuary?
While others would suggest to hone your analytical skills as much as possible, I would also say learn to program, present, write and communicate effectively and also learn the business side of things. There are many skills you need to learn to be a good actuary. You really have to believe in continuous improvement and try to be well rounded with a few defining skills.

Anterior Teeth: The upper and lower six front teeth on each arch.
Appliance: Any orthodontic device which moves or retains teeth. Appliances may also alter the positioning of the jaw.
Arch: The entire upper or lower jaw.
Archwire: The metal wire that connects orthodontic brackets. This wire guides the teeth into their new alignment.
Band with bracket: Metal bands (rings) that are generally cemented around the back teeth.
Braces: Fixed orthodontic appliances designed to align teeth.
Brackets: The tiny metal, ceramic or clear brackets that are affixed to each individual tooth on the arch.
Brushing: This is a crucial part of home dental care. Orthodontists recommend those wearing braces to brush after every meal and snack to eliminate bacteria and plaque.
Buccal: The outer (cheek) side of posterior teeth in the lower and upper arches.
Cephalometric Radiograph: A side X-ray of the face and head used to show growth and development.
Chain: Elastics connected together and placed around the brackets to stabilize the archwire and gently close spaces.
Class I Malocclusion: Molars are correctly aligned, but there is an anterior/posterior crossbite, an openbite or overcrowding on the arches.
Class II Malocclusion: Also known as an overbite. The upper front teeth are positioned further forward than the lower teeth.
Class III Malocclusion: Also known as an underbite. The lower front teeth are positioned further forward than the upper front teeth.
Closed Bite: The upper front teeth completely overlap the bottom teeth causing a deep overbite.
Congenitally Missing Teeth: Some permanent teeth fail to develop and erupt due to genetic factors.

Wax: Orthodontic relief wax is a home care remedy used to alleviate irritations caused by braces.
Wires: Attached to the brackets to gently move the teeth into proper alignment.
In one word 'outstanding'. I have had dental services from Cambridge, Mass to Dallas, Texas in my life but I have never ever come across such a truly outstanding practice. Dr. Christopher Yoo, and his father Dr. Yoo Senior, are both outstanding professionals. They have created, trained, and nurtured an outstanding staff from the reception desk all the way to the operatories. I will have to use my calculator to count the number of times Dr. Yoo uses gentle and comforting words like "sir", "please", "thank you", "appreciate it", etc. When I am in the operatory, I have the honor and pleasure of being in a very refined and multitalented company of Dr. Yoo, who takes the time to explain and teach all aspects of his treatment and empower the patient to follow up and take care of their dental hygiene. I want to specially mention appreciation by Dr. Yoo's peers. My friend Dr. Kevin G. Murphy, Baltimore, who is a well regarded periodontal-prosthodontic practitioner thinks very highly of Dr. Yoo and he personally recommended that my wife and me to be under Dr. Yoo's general dentistry practice and care. Please convey this review and my thanks to Dr. Yoo and his staff.
Subhash K.
This was my first visit to Dr. Yoo's clinic and I was very impressed with all aspects of the practice. When I called to make an appointment, I was scheduled for the very next day. The receptionist was gracious and very polite, both on the phone while making my appointment and when I arrived at the clinic. The person who referred me to Dr. Yoo had told me many things about the practice, so although I wasn't surprised, I was very impressed with the high-tech environment and the way it was used to make me both better informed and very comfortable during my initial examination and cleaning. Especially interesting was the digital imaging of my teeth and the camera tool that provided a real-time image of my individual teeth. All of these images were present on a screen that I could view while in the chair. Dr. Yoo was very personal, patient, and supportive, and took time to carefully explain his findings and recommendations. I highly recommend Dr. Yoo and his staff and look forward (really!) to my next visit.

Presenting on cyber security at UCLPosted: December 20, 2015 Filed under: Information Security, Presentations, Productive Security, Skills Development | Tags: Cyber, Psychology 1 Comment
The UCLU Technology Society invited me to deliver a talk on information security to UCL students. Together with my colleague, I discussed various aspects of information security focusing on both technical and non-technical topics.
We talked about Advanced Persistent Threats and common misconceptions people have about them. When referring to protection measures, I emphasised the importance of considering human aspects of security. I described typical causes of a poor security culture in companies, along with providing some recommendations on improving it.
I concluded the evening with a discussion on managing and communicating the necessary changes within the organisation and the skills required to successfully do that.

Giving particular gifts on wedding anniversaries is thought to have originated in Central Europe. In medieval Austria, friends customarily presented a wife with a wreath of silver on her 25th wedding anniversary, the silver representing the harmony that had been necessary to last so long. Similarly, after fifty years the wife was presented with a golden wreath. Thus the silver wedding and golden wedding arose, and this has been elaborated upon in modern times. There are records from 1800 which show the modern list, which has expanded to include the first fifteen years, and every five years after that.
Freshwater pearl bracelets
Interestingly note that there are two Diamond Anniversaries – one at the 60th Anniversary and the other at 75th. The 75th is the original diamond anniversary, and the 60th was added when Queen Victoria celebrated her Diamond Jubilee on the 60th anniversary of accession to the throne in 1897.
Diamond and pearl stud earrings.
Over time, the tradition of celebrating anniversaries and of giving traditional gifts has developed a list of metals and stones, and these are now incorporated into jewellery. A lovely way to honour the representation of the strength and commitment of the relationship with the durability and beauty of the gemstones.

Building Jerusalem in the Home Countries
Octavia, Daughter of God: The Story of a Female Messiah and her Followers
By Jane Shaw
Jonathan Cape 398pp £18.99 order from our bookshop
Towards the end of the First World War, a fifty-something vicar's widow living in Bedford declared herself to be the Daughter of God. Her name was Mabel Barltrop, but thenceforth she took the name Octavia, and became the charismatic leader of a new religion. From her leafy Edwardian villa, Octavia dedicated herself singlemindedly to the task of building a community, composed mainly of respectable middle-class women like herself. They called themselves the Panacea Society, and soon Octavia had recruited twelve female apostles and many more resident members, establishing a religion with its very own Garden of Eden in the streets of Bedford.

April 6th 2017
By Rabbi Moshe Mayerfeld
Words take on a whole new dimension when they are put to music. Songs evoke powerful emotions that can have an everlasting impact. Plato said "Every heart sings a song."
Hallel is the penultimate stage our epic journey. After a night of insightful questions, intense discussions and meaningful answers accompanied by mouthfuls of Matzah and Maror all washed down with four glasses of wine, we break into heartfelt song.
We serenade our Seder with songs of thanksgiving for safely delivering us out of slavery and a express our passionate longing for a safe arrival to the land of Israel, and a heartfelt prayer for Israel to achieve its potential for greatness and morality.
Singing has it's time and place. The angels are told by God that they could not sing as the Egyptians drowned. Shortly afterwards the Jews sing the famous Song at Sea in celebration of their miraculous redemption.
Music is in many ways the language of emotion. The Jewish journey has different psalms and different songs for each stage of that journey. Even within the Hallel that we read or sing on Seder night, are different tones expressing different feelings.
There are times for lows and times for spiritual peaks. Sometimes they can be brought together in a single verse: Even ma'asu habonim, hayta lerosh pinah. "A stone that was disregarded by the builders, became the cornerstone of the new building". Out of the slavery of Egypt comes the redemption. Then there are times when our growth needs to hold steady.
If you didn't know better and you looked at an echocardiogram, you would think that the patient was in real trouble when the monitor beeps and bounces up and down. Whereas, if you saw a flat line, you would think all was calm and fine.
The songs of Hallel teach us that the combination of the highs and the lows, are necessary to succeed in anything.
The message of the Torah is clear and harmonious. Keep the balance. Challenge yourself to become greater than you think is possible, then allow the growth to become part of who you are. You will see the tune of life help you in all of your endeavours and you will begin to really sing.

Excel Crashing when copying cells. If I highlight a section of cells with data and do a command C, Excel crashes. Excel 2008 was continually crashing for any operation using Mac OSX 10.6. whatever the last update was. Thinking that the crashing may be caused by an operating system to older software issue, I upgraded to OS 10.7.3 (lion) and purchased Excel 2011. Everything was working fine on large spreadsheets until this evening, when I tried to copy paste on a small worksheet and then every time I hit Command C, Excel would crash. Would appreciate any assistance, as this is going to adversely affect completing a project. Additional fact, the worksheet that the data was copied from was an older Excel file (circa 1996 +/-) , brought forward to Excel 2008 and then into Excel 2011.
Does Lion come with any free technical support?
Even if it doesn't, call Apple and tell them what's happening and see if they have any suggestions.
You don't have to tell them that it's a 1996 file. Just tell them that you recently upgraded to 2011 and Lion and that Command C crashes Excel.
Can't hurt to ask...

Following up on a comment from Owen, I was looking through the Good relations Ontology (widely used in eCommerce sites) and noticed it has a property gr:availableAtOrFrom defined:
"This states that a particular gr:Offering is available at or from the given gr:Location (e.g. shop or branch)."
That looks pretty good to me. The range of gr:availableAtOrFrom is gr:Location which is defined as: "a point or area of interest from which a particular product or service is available, e.g. a store, a bus stop, a gas station, or a ticket booth."
The domain of gr:availableAtOrFrom is gr:Offering, the definition of which is a little convoluted: "An offering represents the public, not necessarily binding, not necessarily exclusive, announcement by a gr:BusinessEntity to provide (or seek) a certain gr:BusinessFunction for a certain gr:ProductOrService to a specified target audience. An offering is specified by the type of product or service or bundle it refers to, what business function is being offered (sales, rental, ...), and a set of commercial properties. "
To me these definitions match ours closely enough that we can just re-use them and not define physicallyAvailableAt. Using gr:availableAtOrFrom implies that a Public Service is also a gr:Offering but that doesn't seem unreasonable??
This seems to be a good solution in terms of interoperability, also considered the compatibility declared in GR with schema.org. Actually, the relevant terms in schema.org seem to be derived from the corresponding ones in GR - see, e.g., we also have schema:availableAtOrFrom property (see, e.g., the schema:Offer class).
I have however some concerns in terms of semantics - more precisely, about the semantic "scope" of the relevant terms in GR, schema.org, and CPSV:
- The notions of offer and availability, and location, as defined in GR and schema.org have as scope the business sector. So, I wonder whether they are broad enough to include the corresponding notions in the public sector.
- About the notion of location, it would be important to ensure as much as possible the re-use of what defined in the Location Core Vocabulary, where the suggested term to denote a location is dcterms:Location. However, there is no explicit statement in GR and schema.org about the compatibility between gr:Location / schema:Place and dcterms:Location. Also, it's unclear whether gr:Location has a generic or specific scope. Its definition in GR suggests the latter, i.e., a place where a service, etc. is offered. On the other hand, gr:Location is also said to be equivalent to schema:Place, which is generic ("Entities that have a somewhat fixed, physical extension.") and it is thus similar to dcterms:Location.
About point (1), I have a limited expertise in this area, so please consider my concern more as a question to more informed WG members.
About point (2), I wonder wether we can ask some feedback from Martin Hepp. In any case, for the reasons above, I strongly suggest dcterms:Location be specified in CPSV as the recommended range of property gr:availableAtOrFrom. This, of course, does not exclude the possibility of using also gr:Location / schema:Place. On the other hand, it would allow cross-sector and cross-border re-use of public service location information, at least inside the EU.
The concerns raised by Andrea above are very much in line with the mood of the WG telecon on 6/3/13 wrt to the Good Relations implication of a service also being a commercial entity. Therefore it was decided not to use GR. The WG further resolved to:
Create a property of cpsv:hasChannel with a range of cpsv:Channel
Define foaf:homepage as a sub property of cpsv:hasChannel
Retain cpsv:physicallyLocatedAt and make that also a sub property of hasChannel
This leaves the door open to future properties such as 'ex:hasApp' etc.
The domain of hasChannel has been left as rdfs:Resource so that it can be used in other contexts, thus avoiding the inferences that prevented re-use of gr:availableAtOrFrom.

Should I take my watch to a jeweler?
Since watches are considered jewelry, most jewelers will accept them for repairs. However few have the means to perform such repairs, and instead sub-contract them to third parties. Unfortunately due to cost cutting, these third parties are often no better qualified. The results can be unpredictable. The use of improper tools, inadequately trained staff, and sub-standard parts are common. Watch Battery Express is not a jewelry store. We specialize exclusively in the maintenance of fine watches.
How long does a watch battery last?
The life span of a watch battery depends on the age and quality of the watch, as well as its functions and how often those functions are used.
In most cases, a battery in a brand new quartz watch with basic time and date functionality may last up to four years. As the watch ages, the mechanism becomes worn and drains more power (the reason why factory-installed batteries last longer). Typically replacement batteries last between one and two years.
Watches with functions such as lights, alarms, and chronographs drain more power. The more these functions are used, the faster the battery will drain. Due to the high power consumption of such functions, some watches may also be equipped with more than one battery.

Alien: Covenant
"One wrong note eventually ruins the entire symphony."
The Film Board Gathers! This month we've hit the Feel-a-Round Cineplex for Ridley Scott's latest entry to the Alien Cinematic Universe: Alien: Covenant. The film tells the story of a colony ship on their way to brave new horizons seeding a distant planet with new life when they have to go check out this one thing on that one other planet only to discover… yeah, you know the drill. How well does Scott get us back into the Alienscape and engaged with this fancy new crew? What do we make of cinematographer Dariusz Wolski's camera as a window into this new Alien? How much would we pay to see a standalone film of Michael Fassbender talking to Michael Fassbender? All these questions answered, and SO much more as as Steve Sarmento leads Andy Nelson and Pete Wright on a journey through the deepest, darkest alien woods.

The light above my head flickered. It had been like this for one thousand four hundred and seventy eight days, according to my tally. It was not the kind of flicker that was rhythmic and satisfying. On one particular boring afternoon I had tried to find a tune on my phone that it synced with. It flickered along gleefully out of time with Beyonce's entire back catalogue and my Mum's favourite Johnnie Mathis.
By the end of the day, no longer would this erratic illuminator be an issue.
Not for much longer would the office banter and clicky clack of other peoples pointless emails being constructed be an irritant. No more would Doreens flatulence (the silent kind) and Daniels annoying laugh be a reason for me to want to turn my car into oncoming traffic on the commute home. For the past four years, me and my relentlessly healthy body (only two sick days) have attended the office Wellbellow and Batholomew. Tomorrow there would be no commute.
The morning was quiet. I'd got in before most of the cretinous wastes of carbon had arrived. The coffee machine decided to spit out a good half a spoon of whitener into my black coffee. Laughing at my request. I heard it.
I cancelled 3 meetings, sent 6 calls to voicemail (deleted the messages) then generally counted the minutes until lunchtime respite. Lunch that would today come in the form of a luke warm steak bake (Greggs).
"Did you buy snacks?" Jessica asked. Before I'd even taken my coat off, the steak(ish) chunks still flavouring my palette . Of course not. Despite everything I do not have the money to waste on you, I cannot find a flavourless poison and in a few short hours I'll be free. Any murderous plans I had faded when I handed in my notice. Don't push it Jessica, I might make exceptions, I might…
"No Jess" I replied.
"Oh ok, Steven did…"
I continued walking, bully for Steven. He wasn't leaving, he was Steven Wellbellow. He was the bosses son. He could afford snacks, he could afford bespoke patisserie creations. He brought in, Lidl's own brand cupcakes. Retailing at 70 pence for 25. But big him up Jess, see where that gets you. Been there, did that at the Christmas Party. Nothing was well bellow with Steven. Steven Isitinyet, would have been more appropriate.
That interaction with Jessica was an hour back now. My soon to be old colleagues mostly had more sense to leave me alone as I went through my inbox. Deleting reams of messages that detailed, picnics, down times and other corporate initiatives to promote "staff engagement". I attended a few, boss said I should. These events are always attended by the exact types that shouldn't be anywhere near them. People who, since they left University in 1977 have had no fun unless it was part of a wacky organisation with special badges and meetings. I've seen more engaging party political broadcasts.
It was then when I saw it. Behind me, reflected in my screen, a large semi circle was forming. People left their seats, like a hoard of zombies, drawn by the prospect of false platitudes and lies. People buy lottery tickets to get out of situations like this. You think that winners can just stop work the next day. Alas that wasn't true for me. Cheques need time to clear, bills still need to be paid.
Ten million pounds and I still had to have the "we are sorry you are leaving"
"Autumn." My bosses voice….
Not much longer. I thought as I turned, fake smile intact. To face them.

As far as camera bodies go now days every company does a great job and has very good tech. There are advantages and disadvantages to every body.
Sony' alpha Series A850 and A900 are great cameras high megapixel at 24.6 counts and All the Minolta A mount glass you can dream of. Both the A850 and 900 are discontinued now but can be picked up relatively cheap off eBay. Minolta glass is of top quality, but can be expensive even used but deals are out there and since the Minolta AF system started in 1984 there is a lot of glass out there to be found! Ebay is still the best source and you can find everything you could ever want but it's also the most expensive. most of the Minolta AF telephoto's such as the 300mm 2.8 prime is still selling in the 2500-3000$ range. but the more common primes even the pro 1.4's can be had under 1000$ and I even found some in the 200 dollar range. Also it should be noted that Sony is launching a new full frame camera line soon and hopefully it will have a the modern frills that the earlier Alphas didn't. Right now a shooter on a budget can pick up a A900 with 24mp for under 1500$ off eBay I also saw the famous Minolta 50mm af 1.4 prime for under 200$ and no other place can you get that performance for that price.

This snazzy little quilt was a labour of love, let me tell ya.
A donation for a silent auction to raise funds for a local Irish Dance School; and it ended up raising quite a bit of money. YAY!
|I used my favourite Wax Cotton print for the backing. It just looks so snazzy, but elegant.
|I had troubles fussy cutting to get Elsa AND Anna; so I improvised a patch of the two of them.
|Close up of the diamonds; I FMQ'd in the diamonds; they were a bit more wobbly than I'd like.
|Adorable! All of the characters were in the border fabric I found; I and used premade bias tape for the binding.
I have always loved the "Lone Star" pattern and it's sorta like a quilter's rite-of-passage into diamonds & angles and other such funky patterns outside the normal square/rectangle/triangle combos.
But did I decide to do a normal one?? Oh no. Of course not.
The regular Lone Star is an 8 pt star; and I wanted a more of a snowflake look.
|I FMQ loops around the star and straight lined (sort of straight anyway) inside the star diamond.
There was much ripping of seams, redoing of math. (Who knew how much math there is in quilting!!)
Because the math and the angles were a bit, shall we say, wonky…. instead of adding in squares/triangles in between the 'arms'; I appliqued the star onto the backing fabric.
Which is good because it needed more stability. I basted the edges down and then spray basted the star to the backing snowflake fabric. I used a 'snowflake' ish topstitch to secure it down and hide the basting stiches.
|You can see the basting stitch along the left side and the right has the snowflake stitch.
|Top completed! Before adding backing & quilt layer.
There might also have been some terribly awful language….but..well…no one heard but the cats.
I present to you, my NINE point Snowflake Starburst Frozen Quilt.
This particular one was big for a lap sized quilt; suited for a child's bed.
I have promised to have one up & on my Etsy shop ASAP, so keep an eye posted for it!

I couldn't sew a button onto a pair of pants, or even just a piece of fabric for that matter. You have got skills. Plus you incorporated Frozen, which was sheer genius. Talents and smarts.

1. How did you get involved with tigers?
I've answered this question at great length, I recall, several times, but the only answer I can find quickly in my own journal here. Since that's a friends-locked entry, I'll summarize here:
EFRC had done fund raisers where you could get a photo with a baby tiger a couple of times in Champaign, so I knew they existed, and I had visited the place a couple of times, but it never really made a deep impression. But four years ago this spring, I was feeling low one weekend, and kind of on a whim I decided to go visit the tigers. I got into a conversation with Jean Herrberg, the assistant director, and told her that I'd like to volunteer but I think I live too far away to be a help. She said that the time I could put in would be worthwhile, so I started showing up. And I kept on doing it, and somewhere along the line I went from being "some guy who showed up and said they wanted to volunteer" to someone they trust.
2. What kind of training is involved before you are allowed to "play with the big cats?"
It totally depends on the situation -- the actual kind of interaction involved, the animals involved, the rules at the specific facility, and what the government is requiring at that place and time. If the AR folks get their way with HR 5909, the answer will be simple: it's not allowed, period.
In my work at EFRC, I didn't get formally trained; I just started out doing simple zero-risk jobs where I couldn't touch the cats -- holding hoses, cleaning cages (after an experienced person had locked the cat out). After a couple of years, I was trusted to know which animals were friendly enough that I could touch them through the chain link fence. And I don't play with the adults closer than that. When the cats are behind chain link it is much safer than if they are behind something with larger holes, to say nothing of being inside the fence.
3. How are tigers like housecats?
Most of their body language and behavior patterns like how they stalk and play with toys are very similar. Understanding their behavior is tricky, because they do similar behaviors, but in different combinations, and they have slightly different meanings. But other than sounds, almost all of the behaviors of tigers can be seen in house cats.
4. How did you get into filking?
When I was in high school, we got involved with ChUSFA, the student science fiction club at the U of I. billroper was a member. He brought his guitar to a few events, and got me hooked; I started collecting songs, I started taping at cons, and when my father made the biggest sacrifice of his life and gave his permission for me to buy a guitar of my own, I started performing.
5. What skill do you wish you had that you don't have?
I could spend a week coming up with good answers to this. But I think the one trick I really could use to make me more effective at doing everything I want to do would be to organized and mentally together enough that when I have the thought that I need to do something, I actually remember to do it at the appropriate time, whether that's something I mean to do in 30 seconds when I walk into the next room or at the next con when I'm talking face to face with someone I see once a year.
If anyone would like 5 questions from me, just ask.

Hi, guys Welcome to my other post or article. and in this article, I will show you how to hide folders and files in android without any app.
Sometimes when we give our smartphone to our friends or family member then here some things we do not show with him. And keep private such as music, videos, and images. Android OS create the base on Linux. it has some options borrowed directly from the 'mothership' like the ability to make hidden folders in order that sure files and folders will solely be accessed exploitation the file manager app. Having aforementioned that, users now not got to transfer any random third-party app from Google Play Store. just in case you're trying forward to the present, here's our ready-to-use-guide for you.
Hide folder and files in android without any App
Method one
Dot Method
This method hides your files automatically from the gallery, Whatsapp, Media player, Email, etc.
First, you open your file manager and choose the show hidden file in your file manager.
Open the menu and select Create folder
Provide the name like your choice but place dot (.) before typing name and then click ok. for example .myname.
Alternatively, you'll place the dot before the prevailing folder name to cover its contents.
From currently on, inserting any content at intervals the folder ".mydata" goes to be hidden and it won't be visible on Gallery, multimedia players and anyplace.
In our instance, the subfolder and every one the things within the ".mydata" folder is hidden and can not be shown anywhere.
What happens once you place a dot (.) before individual file name (such as Image, video, and PDF)?
Image – the pictures won't be shown on any app. however, unfortunately, the Gallery isn't giving constant results. after I check, it's showing the hidden pictures most of the days and generally not.
Video – The case of the video is the same because of the image.
PDF – the PDF don't seem to be shown anyplace.
Here are the few things to note:
The files within the hidden folders like (.mydata) are going to be visible on the pc.
Before giving your phone to others, make certain to disable the "Show hidden files" option.
Method 2
.nomedia Method
What is .nomedia?
It is just an empty file with associate extension nomedia. Generally .nomedia file tells the android apps to not show the contents of the folder in which it presents.
Here are some things to remember:
.nomedia could be a file and not a folder.
It solely works for the media files (such as photos and videos).
The folder that contains the .nomedia file is always visible within the file manager. But, the .nomedia file can only be visible to you if you've got enabled "Show hidden files" option.
You can place the .nomedia file within the new or existing folder to create its content hidden.
Well, let's see the steps to make a .nomedia file.
Select any file and copy-paste in any folder.
Then rename the folder name .nomedia
and now all file like images videos and documents hidden who under in this folder. and not be shown in the gallery, media player, email and WhatsApp, etc.
I hope you like my article and its very helpful for you hiding your files and protect from other to steal your personal data if you like then you follow us on social media for updated post notification thanks.
