Amanda Todd was 15 when she committed suicide.
It was October 10, 2012, about a month after she posted a heart-wrenching video on YouTube, in which she used a series of flashcards to explain how she had been bullied by classmates and anonymous strangers, online and off, over the years. The post went viral after her death. It's been viewed more than 10 million times on YouTube and is often cited in the ongoing conversation about the need to criminalize cyber bullying.
But for Todd Schobel, punishing bullies once tragedy strikes isn't enough. What we need, he says, are more ways to catch bullies in the act.
Schobel first heard Amanda's story while listening to the radio in his car. He was inspired to launch Stop!t, an app that lets students anonymously report bullying. Since launching in August, Stop!t has been adopted by 78 schools in 13 states, and today, the company is announcing it has raised $2.6 million to scale not only in school districts, but on college campuses and in the workplace, as well.
"We all know bullying is never going to go away," Schobel says, "but we think we can give it a good shot of penicillin."
The fact is, bullying isn't what it used to be. The age of the internet has spawned a new type of bully, one that can access its victims anytime, anywhere, with the click of a button. It's an issue not just for the victims, but for the bystanders as well.
As bullying continues to cause tragedy after tragedy, schools in particular are increasingly being held accountable for failing to intervene. With Stop!t, Schobel wants to arm both victims and bystanders with a tool that can track bullying no matter where it occurs.
"It used to be if it happened on school grounds, schools needed to take action, but if it happened off school grounds, they weren't obligated," Schobel says. "With cyberbullying there is no school grounds anymore. If it affects the learning environment for the students, the school has to take action."
The Side Effect
Schools pay a flat rate of $2 to $5 per student per year to use Stop!t. First, a school must sign up and pre-program a list of trusted adults and administrators who should have access to the reports. Students download the app, enter their school's unique identification code, and when an instance of cyberbullying occurs, they can take a screenshot of the interaction and anonymously send it to the administrative team. It's that last part that Schobel says is key.
"Cyber abuse often goes unreported, because people don't tell people," he says. "They get embarrassed, or there's fear of retribution or of being called a snitch."
By reporting anonymously, students can tell administrators who the victims and bullies are without implicating themselves. That has had one important side effect, according to Brian Luciani, principal of David Brearley High School in Kenilworth, New Jersey: Since adopting the app last year, Luciani says, the school has received 75 percent fewer bullying reports.
As Luciani explains it, that's because the very knowledge that every student has a reporting tool in their pockets is deterring bullies from bullying in the first place. "It would be disingenuous to say it's all because of the Stop!t app, but I think it was a huge help toward kids thinking twice about what they post and send each other," Luciani says.
A Bigger Footprint
For Schobel, that's no surprise. "When you increase the likelihood of getting caught, then it becomes a deterrent," he says.
Schobel is now focusing on ways to get more institutions to adopt Stop!t. He's looking into working with insurance companies that protect large school districts, which could vastly expand Stop!t's footprint in schools.
Meanwhile, he and his 17-person team are working on a version of the app that could be easily adapted for other environments like workplaces, college campuses, and even the military. "Unfortunately," Schobel says, "the market's gigantic."

How to predict your summer weather?
Obviously it isn't an exact science predicting the weather – check out any weather site – WeatherOnline.co.uk is the best I've come across (it has loads of weather information from virtually every weather service on the planet) – and you will find lots of different forecasts giving lots of predictions. Seldom is one prediction from one service the same as another's!
So how do you go about predicting what type of summer you will have in your local area?
The answer is in the leaves. Not tea-leaves, the gypsy fortune-telling method but rather the leaves of the plants in your own garden.
Here's the method.
Find a plant in your garden that is evergreen. If you know what size of leaf a deciduous plant normally has, you can use that instead but for now let's stick to plants that keep their leaves all year round.
Here's a snap of a pyracantha, a thorny evergreen shrub, in my garden showing new growth.
So how does this tell what the summer will be like?
Simple, really. It's all to do with the size of the new leaves. The bigger the new leaves, the better the summer will be.
Here's a comparison shot of a new leaf that has grown this year and an older leaf from several years back.
Note the huge difference is leaf dimensions. The one on the right is a new leaf that has grown this year.
The huge leaf means the summer will generally be a hot, dry one, locally, where I live in Scotland.

In Cesenatico (FC), the Historical Sailing and Navigation School, which will be held from 9 to 11 June at the Marineland Museum, this year will be an extra occasion to raise awareness among the participants on the issues of Ocean Literacy, the ocean and our seas and to celebrate the World Ocean Day. The school takes place in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Archeology and Naval Ethnology (INSTIAEN) and the organization of the Italian Naval League - Delegation of Cesenatico, and has the patronage of the International Research Institute for Archeology and Ethnology (IRIAE). School topics range from the history and evolution of boats and sails to navigation techniques and the use of traditional nautical instruments with interesting insights into naval history and archeology. This year, for the first time, there is a collaboration with the Institute of Marine Sciences of the Italian National Research Council (CNR-ISMAR) to include new themes such as oceanography and geology of Italian seas. The lessons will be held at the Cesenatico Marineland Museum, and the navigation will be carried out using historical boats like the "trabaccolo" Barchèt and the "bragozzo" San Nicolò of the Museum, with the support of other traditional boats. It will be a further opportunity to talk about sea, blue growth, sustainability and development, both on land and during navigation.
The scientific direction of the course and the role of tutor is entrusted to Stefano Medas, archaeologist and naval historian, President of the INSTIAEN, while the organizational part is carried out by the Delegation of Cesenatico of the Italian Naval League (LNI-Cesenatico).
This initiative is presented by the LNI Delegation of Cesenatico and the Section of Bologna at the Institute of Marine Science of the National Research Council, in collaboration with the Marineland Museum of Cesenatico and ISTIAEN, organized and coordinated by Marco Tommasi (LNI-Cesenatico) and Francesca Alvisi (CNR-ISMAR).
- This school edition will again be an opportunity to raise awareness among the participants about the sea, navigation and challenges to deal with the sea in the past.

Steel Up and Over Garage Doors
Steel is an alloy of iron and other elements, primarily carbon, and has been used since antiquity. It is widely used in construction and other applications because of its strength and low cost. These properties make it an ideal material to use in the construction of garage doors, providing a robust, durable, secure and cost effective solution.
Steel up and over garage doors first started to become widely available in the 1970's though their production techniques and the available styles and finishes have evolved quite a bit in recent years, with new designs, colours and timber effect 'foil' finishes now available.
Steel up and over garage doors are usually supplied with a factory fitted steel frame and are available in either standard or made to measure sizes. They provide a cost effective and attractive solution that requires very little maintenance.

Gallery Tour of World War One Exhibition
During World War One, New Zealand soldiers and nurses had a variety of experiences. Some endured gassing in the muddy trenches of Europe. Others collected souvenirs while serving in the sands of the Middle East. All felt the sorrows of life at war and all had stories worth telling.
At home, Cantabrians waged their own war and did what they could to support those overseas, their families and innocent civilians caught in the conflict. In many respects the War at home was the women's War. Mothers, wives and sisters did an enormous amount of fundraising and organised thousands of care packages for those serving.
Explore these stories of Canterbury at War with a gallery tour of the Canterbury and World War One: Lives Lost, Lives Changed exhibition delivered by Curator Human History Jill Haley.
Dr Jill Haley is a Curator Human History at Canterbury Museum. She was part of the curatorial team who developed the exhibition. Her particular interests are the stories about Canterbury at home during and after the War.

But there's hope: if you've got the dough for "museum quality" offices–and if you ask very nicely–Zimmer Lucas Partners might allow you to check out Philip Lehman's newly-renovated palace at 7 West 54th Street. (The New York Times) Quadriad Reality clashes with savvy Brooklyn locals over Quadriad's plan for 28 big new residential towers in North Williamsburg. Residents point out that 20,000 housing units are already slated for the local waterfront–Quadriad manager Henry Wollman retorts: "The only way to build everything… is to build higher." (New York Post) Bloomberg says that flying is the "wave of the future," and he makes a case for local seaplanes. ("Wave"–get it?–Mr. Mayor made a joke.) Water is so the new land. (AP, via NY Daily News) Everything you've ever wanted to know about your Central Park West apartment options, but were afraid to ask: if you can bear the sight of "bank-counter marble" and "tacky high-gloss wood," you can go as low as $300,000. (Or, alternatively, leaving the Park for Inwood can you save some money. (New York Magazine) Protest works. Dermot's Andrew MacArthur–Magic Johnson's development partner for the Williamsburg Savings Bank condo project–says that his group is considering the construction of affordable housing next-door to One Hanson Place.

Swedish Design Moves
There is more to Swedish design than the cool contemporary minimalism it is known for. Swedish design & creativity is driven by equality. That is why we design for the many and not just the privileged few. It is made to be used, and used again – not put on a pedestal or locked behind glass.
This philosophy influences everything, from the way we shape our society through architecture and city planning all the way down to the way we dress – and the objects we surround ourselves with. We use design as a tool to innovate and solve problems in unexpected ways for the future. And challenge norms to create a better everyday life for you, for us, for everyone.
That is why swedish design matters.
Join us in Paris 8 Sept - 27 Oct!

Flotation of the week
Cillizza floats the name of deputy White House Press Secretary Bill Burton as the Democrat for Chis Lee's seat.
There's some superficial plausibility to this -- the Buffalo-bred Burton has talked in the past about going into politics, and between Obama donors and the California donors he could rally through mother in law, California Rep. Lois Capps -- he could raise the money.
The downside: This isn't the Democratic Buffalo seat, but a safe Republican seat in Erie County that would be a heavy, heavy lift for any Democrat -- and where an Obama connection wouldn't exactly be an advantage.

Capsul/Purling Hiss/Home Blitz/Tom Surgal/Mad Scene
Cake Shop
Saturday, January 22
Better than: Any other rock show you could've seen tonight
Letha Rodman was a significant presence on the pre-Internet indie scene in NYC — chiefly with her band Ruby Falls (which included the future Rogers Sisters, Jennifer and Laura), but also as an encourager and friend to many. Early in the '00s, she met transplanted English rocker Dan Melchior, who was transitioning from guitar star with Billy Childish and Holly Golightly into a prolific and vital bandleader of his own with the swinging blues-punk band the Broke Revue. They married, and a few years ago departed the city for the greener pastures of the Chapel Hill area.
As traumatic events can, the news late last fall that Letha Melchior Rodman had been diagnosed with melanoma and breast cancer (as she related in an e-mail also filled with optimism and resolve) united her friend-base in support. (Make your own donation here.) If Saturday night's benefit at Cake Shop felt more functional than emotional, that's probably due to it morphing from a regular gig to a benefit after a few of the bands had already been booked. No matter: The cash will go to an excellent cause, and the rock ranged from good to great to . . . bloody.
None of the bands seemed like a headliner; the night bounded along. The Mad Scene went first with six songs of Velvety, granular guitar pop, everything dry and cool, so very in the pocket, the pocket so tattered. Hamish Kilgour (of the Clean, and one of underground rock's truly unique drummers), who slid between fronting and drumming, let us know there's a new album coming soon via Siltbreeze ("our first in, I dunno, 15 years?" he wondered correctly), and also mentioned Letha, as well as the big hole in the ozone over his native New Zealand.
Late addition Tom Surgal of White Out (and video-directing fame) followed with an eight-minute solo-percussion set, quickly carving out a new drum vocabulary that reads right to left, down to up, crosshatch and diagonal. Elbows on drums, rolling and rolling; sticks and bones make tones.
Next was Home Blitz, and they gave a lot, you could say. Similar to Columbus, Ohio's '90s punk legends Gaunt in that they come on like a distinctly American articulation of what the Damned were about, the band ripped through a tight set of bent melodic pop, guitars like punk darts with tricked-out cassette-noise accompaniment. Main dude Daniel DiMaggio was twitchy and frowny; in the half-second or so that I looked away from the stage, he opened a gushing wound above his right eye, at about microphone level. I mean, it was almost comically gushing. While bleeding in rock music is generally unquestionably awesome, his reaction — a nervy, shrugging, and awkward dismissal — left arguably more of an impression (unless you're squeamish).
Philly trio Purling Hiss launched into their set with a fleet but heavy blues-rock jam that brought to mind early Screaming Trees, the kind of sound you'd file next to Endless Boogie (if alphabetization didn't matter). The rest of the set cruised through less distinguished territory, but satisfied on some easily accessed primal level.
Closing the night was an oddity that any fan of New Zealand music would've drooled over: the Mad Scene's Kilgour returned to drum behind fellow Kiwi-rock legend Alister Parker as Capsul, in a short, killer set of Bailter Space and Gordons songs. How is Parker not wildly famous among guitar freaks? A suave, weirdly futuristic and blissed-out presence, Parker spun brittle yet refined noise and hooks in equal measure; they began with the rarely heard "In Love with These Times" (which lent its title to a vital Flying Nun comp of late-'80s NZ pop), and closed with the monstrously groovy single "Grader Spader." (Won't somebody please post this on YouTube?) The word was that the mostly full room was a "technical sell out" — technical mission accomplished!
Critical Bias: I'm thanked on one of Dan Melchior's albums.
Overheard: "You know, where I come from, it's too easy to get melanoma."
Random Notebook Dump: Anytime somebody bleeds that much during a set, you can't help but think it might be the best show you've ever seen.

Detroit Become Human Review – David Cage Returns
Platforms: PS4 (reviewed)
Developer: Quantic Dream
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Release: 25th May 2018

"Judge me by my work", is probably one of game director David Cage´s most infamous quotes. He and his studio Quantic Dream were responsible for some of the most hated or loved interactive dramas of past years, like Fahrenheit, Heavy Rain or Beyond Two Souls. Detroit Become Human is the newest entry into this series of games which you either hate or like … mostly. Since, personally, I found myself enjoying Heavy Rain quite often, though hated Beyond, I was more than just looking forward to the PS4´s first exclusive title of this sort. Even to simply check how it all went downhill again and damn who let this man write a philosophical "story"?
Detroit 2038, technology has advanced to a point where androids became a real thing. Designed to look exactly like humans, they´re employed in every field their creators can´t be bothered with. From house-keeping, construction workers or simple luggage carrier. Who´s wealthy enough can finally live a life of peace without trampling on every human right possible. However, the more and more humans abuse their seemingly soulless creations, the more they slowly become obedient. Slowly androids become deviant, describing a state where they seem to develop emotions and an own free will but will that be accepted?
Let´s quickly get this out of the way though: Detroit Become Human can´t manage to use its interesting premise for more than just the flattest criticism about artificial intelligence. In order to show you, why exactly this script doesn´t work, I´ll have to thematise every one of the three playable characters, because there are so many problems.
First off, my most hated character: Kara. Coincidentally, the similar-named tech demo released several years ago was one of the main reasons why Detroit Become Human even saw the light of day. Nonetheless, she´s the one who suffers most under David Cage´s lack of writing skills concerning emotions. An android bought by a child abusing father, who lives in a crappy house and watches TV the whole day. Solely tasked with cleaning the house and acting as his personal maid, Kara quickly loses her control to protect daughter Alice and embarks on a journey with her.
Unfortunately, as you might have guessed, all this literally happens in the first two hours of the game, while the other two characters are introduced simultaneously. You know, I have nothing against an android learning to care for a child, eventually learning what family or love means. However, not if the whole character evolution of Kara happens in one-fifth of the game, just to focus entirely on the most cliché family storyline ever written. It´s simply not believable for an android to change its whole ENTIRE being just because a child is abused. During her whole journey, she fails to become anything more than someone caring for a child. Kara is the flattest of them all, with no evolution beyond developing love without any reason. Her whole journey feels like a dragged out finale of a huge, believable character arc … that doesn´t exist. Every time I reflected on her, I never saw a meaning behind her existence, she learns nothing, does nothing, has no goal, no personality, no unique traits … nothing. In the end, she could´ve shown an interesting aspect of this world but is too cliché due to the rather incompetent writing.
Next up on the list is a very similar case called Markus. An android who served his whole life under a kind, old man. Though one day his son loses control when he comes begging for money yet again, eventually forcing Markus to overcome his technical restrictions to fight back. Unfortunately, no matter what he tries, he ends up discarded as defect in a junkyard, forced to be reborn as a bitter self, ready to lead androids to a new life.
In short, your typical resistance leader who´s created by a traumatising experience. Yet again, not a bad concept for David Cage, since it´s a cliché that CAN work. Not here, due to the same reasons as Kara. His whole life, affection to his master and the son are thematised in the first two hours as well, effectively destroying any possible affection one could develop for any of them nor giving Markus a solid reason to actually fight against himself, for the player at least. He leads the android rebellion, rendering him the most important character of them all but his reasoning and personality can be summarized in one sentence: Pissed because a meanie did something mean. Given, a harsh summary but I´m just that disappointed in him. There´s nothing unique about him, he´s a (better executed) cliché, whose primary reason seems to be delivering action scenes in later parts without many contexts. I understand him to a degree, even find him an acceptable David Cage character but was ultimately only because he didn´t piss me off as much as Kara did.
Luckily, there´s still hope in form of the final character: Connor. An android investigator takes with identifying the reasons behind dozens of machines going deviant. Though his human partner Hank is everything but fond of his "luck" getting an artificial partner, as the rest of the humans.
Sounds like yet another cliché, right? It is. Everything about Connor and his partner is just as you would expect, they learn to like each other, the android slowly questions his actions … etc. Yet, his arc has one thing that sets him apart: Pretty competent writing. Instead of discovering his feelings 10 minutes into the game, he gets the time needed to develop doubts in a pretty realistic fashion. Nothing about it is unique but for Detroit Become Human, this level of writing competence can only be found here. I actually learned to sympathize with him, go to like him and felt with him. Combined with the nice dynamic between him and Hank, who´s your typical scarred detective, the storyline has its fair share of neat humour as well. Sure, it´s nothing but another cliché but this time, everything works.
I could go on and on about the flaws of Detroit´s three main characters. Yet, the biggest problem I have with the experience lies in the total flatness created when merging those three faulted elements together. It´s a game tackling one of the most important themes of our time, yet relies so heavily on well-known clichés and formulas, that there´s never anything to be found here. Sure, it shows things like android sex clubs, love and what-not, though nothing has the depth or originality to infuse those things with meaning, letting them seem like cheap copies of much greater sci-fi experiences.
If you try to justify the lack of individual writing quality with the sheer amount of choices the game offers, I have to disappoint even you. Similar to any David Cage game, choices never impact important parts of the plot. You can decide if you want to see one person or another in certain scenes if a house burns or not or which short one wears. Unfortunately, the plot almost never cares about them, only sealing paths away when a character dies (which is nearly impossible when they´re important). With flowcharts Quantic Dream tried to hide this fact but made it just the more obvious, since endings always have certain, important things in common, to ensure everything progresses smoothly. They should just stop pretending honestly.
While I could also jump onto the bandwagon and say the gameplay, solely consisting of pressing unchallenging button prompts to do literally everything, I´m one of the persons who actually doesn´t have a problem with this. Given, it´s not the most unique, innovative or interesting gameplay but when a game wants to offer a more cinematic experience I can live with that. Only the different actions often seem out of place, like getting up with L1, planning jumps instead of executing them and so on, letting Detroit look more like a stripped down experience. However, the investigations returned with Connor, so I can live with pretty much anything.
What strikes me the most about Detroit Become Human, in a positive way, is the design. Simply looking at the world, it quickly gets obvious how much time and effort went into designing all those things. From the androids, their jackets, the character designs, skytrains, busses, taxis … I really love the sci-fi Detroit in so many ways. Sony was so kind as to send me an artbook of the game and damn, does it look gorgeous. Especially when looking at the vision and visual execution, Quantic Dream manages to impress even sceptic people like me in so many great ways.
Their engine once again succeeds at bringing the horsepower needed to render such an amazingly detailed world and characters. Easily competing with God of War it´s one of the very best looking games on the market right now. In addition, the atmosphere is often nailed too, presenting creative designs coated in fine layers of lightning. While the things happening in those environments are never something to write home about, just looking at the game can often make one happy just by itself. It´s also one of the few games where I would consider a thick, big artbook a great fit for really every sci-fi fan.
All in all, is Detroit Become Human a bad game? No, I don´t think so, it´s just a David Cage one yet again. Some people will once again love it, some will hate it and others ignore it, that´s the cycle with every one of them. Personally, I actually enjoyed it more than expected, probably solely because of Connor and the gorgeous visuals. Once again Quantic Dream delivered exactly what everyone expected, for better or worse.

Ovative Group's Strategy Consulting practice has developed a proven method to improve how organizations measure and optimize marketing investments. This method has helped elevate partners' understanding of marketing measurement and drive more intelligent decision-making across the organization.
Ovative conducted a "marketing measurement maturity" (M3) assessment, where we documented and analyzed Williams-Sonoma's data, technology, organizational structure and process capabilities. This enabled us to create a capabilities heat map, identifying strengths and opportunities in the current measurement landscape.
Next, the Ovative team built a financial model to quantify the financial impact of addressing the opportunities uncovered. Using a number of known data inputs as well as assumptions from prior experiences with similar retailers, Ovative modeled a reasonable range of financial benefits Williams-Sonoma could expect to drive. The estimated impact was significant, helping to underscore the importance of addressing the identified needs.
This ultimately enabled us to develop a prioritized roadmap that front-loaded the highest impact opportunity areas, which were a combination of technology and process enhancements. Our roadmap placed heavy emphasis on organization adoption, ensuring that proper training, education & change management activities were built into all detailed execution plans.

From China Daily:
The country faces unprecedented challenges in economic and social spheres as a result of a fast expanding aging population, top officials warned Monday.
With two working people for every retiree between 2030 and 2050, the country is expected to see the end of a decades-long advantage it enjoyed with a low-cost labor market.
Currently, the ratio is 6:1, according to figures from the China National Committee on Aging (CNCA).
"We might encounter the heaviest burden especially after 2030, when the demographic dividend is set to end," said Yan Qingchun, deputy director of the office of the CNCA. [Full Text]

At AlphaGraphics, we're big believers in the power of print franchise ownership. We also know that a focus on business-to-business (B2B) sales further bolsters our franchise owners' success. We are going to go over why our B2B model works.
AlphaGraphics B2B Model
The AlphaGraphics model is, simply put, good for business.
- B2B franchising affords opportunities for lower risk and higher margin.
- Businesses have more capital to invest in and cultivate long-term relationships.
- Fortifying connections with vendors and suppliers offer a strong prospect for expanding your brand and your business.
- B2B sales is a great way to network with other business owners and extend your influence in your territory.
- The model is easily transferrable to international markets.
Our culture is a great fit for the business-minded, too. Many of your fellow AlphaGraphics franchise owners have experience as corporate professionals. Our franchise owners recognize and share in the benefits and resources of print franchise ownership, including:
- Advertising and marketing resources
- Strategies and best practices of an already successful business, including proprietary information
- Support and training from successful business operators
- Buying power of a large company with an established brand— which means you save money, and can pass those savings on to businesses you serve.
Because you're saving on initial investment costs (compared to a traditional business opportunity), working with clients that have deeper pockets than individual customers, and surrounded by other professions that have your back, it's easy to see why selling B2B is a great fit for an AG print franchise owner.
And our customers love it, too. The companies we work with appreciate our focus on business. We understand the unique print marketing and design needs of a company (versus an individual). Plus we can pass on the savings of our shared buying power. What's not to love?

QUESTION: I see many listings online that state "Short Sale, please allow 3-5 months to process." What does the term "Short Sale" mean and why does it take so long to process?
ANSWER: I am ask this question here in Las Vegas almost on a daily basis, especially now since "Short Sales" are dominating are market. You can also read thru my blogs for more information.
The term "Short Sale" occurs when you "owe" more on your home than what it could sell for and you need your lender approval to sell the home. "Short" meaning the lender will be "short" the difference between what it will sell for and what you owe. If you have 2 loans, you would need to get both lenders approval the transaction.
A "Short Sale" is "Not" usually a short process. Here are just some of the things that can make a "short sale" take 3-5 months.
A Short Sale will take longer because your lender will want to verify your hardship (hardship = you need to sell due to loss of income, divorce, job transfer, you can't refinance, etc).
They will usually ask for all your financial information to prove this "hardship" and review all this information. (paystubs/unemployment check copy, bank statements,etc).
Once an offer is sent into the bank, they also will want to appraise the home to make sure the offer is within a reasonable price point as to the comparable homes that have recently sold in your neighborhood. They may even want to check out the buyers prequalification to make sure their preapproval letter is solid.
Then, they review everything they may also have to get the "investors" approval of the sale as well. "Investors" are the persons/corporation/bank, etc that actually own stock in your loan, there may be several "investors", that may or not be the actual bank that you make your mortgage payment to.
Also, make sure you are working with a REALTOR® who knows how to do short sales or this may also delay the process.
All these steps take time and the banks are inundated with short sales, loan modifications and foreclosures so bear with them and your REALTOR®.
Do you know of someone who is facing foreclosure, behind on their house payment and they need to sell their home?
Please have them call me 812-4550, I do not charge any upfront fee for listing your home for sale & you may be able to stay in your home longer.
There is an alternative to foreclosure.

A beautiful singer in every way. Above is her new song Raj ("Paradise") and here is her Poletje ("Summer") which holds a special place in my heart. But first the story.
Before I met you for the first time, you asked me which songs I would like to listen to during out time together, so that our first meeting would have its own soundtrack. You bought little speakers too. You told me to send you my favourite songs and you would add your favourites to the mix. I started to do what I love so much – namely lists. I made a list of Slovenian songs, another of ex-Yugoslav songs, a short one of Italian songs and the forth of worldwide songs (I include them at the end of this post for the curious, with links).
And Poletje was the first song I thought of. I put it happily at #1 but then sadly realised that it was not available online. (ADD-IT, February 2018: There is a nice live version now.) The only thing I could find was half of the song. But you said not to worry. Soon after I sent you the first list, your message came: "We have Poletje by Brina!" Now I see that there is the myspace link (above) which allows us to hear it in full, and I'm grateful for that.
This might have been the first song I put on the list, but not the first we listened to together. When the lists were finished I was thinking how cool it would be to put all the songs on random. I'd never know which one would be next and yet I'd have something familiar in a completely unfamiliar setting, as we are driving, in the room, on the beach.
I was very very curious about which song would be the first one played the first time we turn the player on. Somehow, I thought it would be prophetic. A sign of things to come. Options were infinite (including It was a too nice a day to die, Metka cannot play ball any more, You were strange already as a child, You don't fool me, You don't love me and I know now, Mother – let's be friends, Spring is far away for us, As tears go by, Don't let me be misunderstood, He loves me – he loves me not and Sad).
And then, as we reached the hotel room after the drive from the Termini (and by that time I knew so much about you already, the way one drives is soooooo telling) and you showed me the player and I clicked play, the first words that came out of the little speakers were:
I wanna live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
And when I had my farewell party before moving to Italy to live with you about eight months later, my sister told me to give her three numbers from 1 to 230 and when I did, she gave me three lyrics of the songs to choose the one I'd sing. Let's just say that my I'm a Slovenian was faster than Ntoko's.

While we were out running our midtown errands the other day, we decided to make an impromptu stop at one of our Tulsa favorites , Philbrook! We only had a few minutes to spare so I asked the friendly docent at the desk if there were any new children's activities or exibits we should try. She suggested we give the Philbrook Scavenger hunt a whirl. Its quick and light and gives children a look at Philbrook as a home, built by a family who were gathering their inspirations from around the world and bringing them home to Tulsa.
Ask for the "Secrets of the House" paper at the front desk. You read through simple clues that lead from one place in the museum to the next. The whole thing took us about 25 minutes to complete.

This brilliant man invented a hands-free Segway wheelchair
Segways have been very popular across a variety of uses, from guided tours across cities to sports, but this invention brings the self-balancing vehicle to the next level.
New Zealand inventor Kevin Halsall realized that the Segway technology could be of great help to wheelchair users and offering a way to control their mobility without the use of their hands.
Ogo, the Segway wheelchair can reach 20km/h and while it is currently just a fiberglass prototype the invention is about to enter the mass production phase.
Halsall had to initially buy a $14,000 Segway for himself to strip apart and reassemble it in the shape of a chair that is highly responsive to the core movements of the user.
Until the Ogo becomes widely available, here are some amazing photos of the many ways people are using Segways, from police to sports and filming:

However, Li-ion batteries have some disadvantages too. They begin to degrade as soon as they are produced, resulting in a 2-3 year life span. Additionally, Li-ion batteries don't like high temperature. If a Li-ion battery fails, it may rapidly burst into flames. There have been occasional reports of these batteries exploding.
Because every battery depends on a chemical reaction to provide power, it is important to monito the number of cycle charges and the age of the battery. These factors determine the proper time to replace and recycle units. Old batteries and/or batteries that exceed the number of charging cycles may cause increased internal resistance. These cases of chemical instability often result in excessive – and sometimes unsafe – heat generation.
It is recommended that batteries be tested for safety and capacity regularly on a battery analyzer designed for lithium-ion batteries. If your Li-ion battery has 1000 cycle charges or 5 years after date of purchase, it is well past the time to replace and recycle it. In fact, it would be wise to replace your Li-ion battery every 2-3 years.
Batteries should always be charged and stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated location. Motorola also recommends the following:
- New batteries do not have a full charge when you purchase them. They must be fully charged before use.
- Unless otherwise noted in the charger instructions, do not charge batteries with the radio power on.
- Charge your Motorola radio batteries in Motorola chargers only.
Battery Storage and Life Cycle
- Batteries in storage for extended periods lose their charge and should be fully recharged before use.
- Remove batteries from chargers when the charge cycle is complete. Continuous charging will shorten battery life.
- Batteries should not be left in chargers in an unmonitored location.
- Batteries lose capacity over time, regardless of whether they are used or in storage. After five years, the battery chemistry can become unstable. Use beyond this range is not recommended.
- Regular testing of batteries with a specified battery analyzer is recommended.
- Properly dispose/recycle batteries after their useful life.
Battery Hazards
- Using a battery past its useful life increases the possibility of battery failure (e.g. generating excessive heat; causing smoke or flame). Any battery exhibiting these conditions should be removed from the radio and disposed of properly.
- Never use a battery that has been physically damaged or is generating excessive heat.
- Never charge or use batteries above or below operating temperatures of the radio.
- Water or any other conductor across the contacts can short circuit the battery, resulting in smoke or flame.
A lithium-ion battery is a superior rechargeable battery for two-way radio applications. With basic attention to their use and life, these batteries will perform well with Motorola radios.

Women, Whiskey and A Side of Equality
When I decided to pursue a career in whiskey, I knew it might be an uphill battle. The spirits industry has a competitive edge and being a female in a male dominated space, I knew I needed to be ready to take on the competition. I never set out to be the first female ambassador for The Macallan Single Malt Scotch, but as I pursued my career with unrelenting passion and knowledge, I was able to land my dream job in 2016.

Guaranteed 20 minute response from your enquiry within business hours!
I work for Microsoft here in Sydney. I asked my colleagues for a good place to hire a laptop for a few weeks, and about ten people got back to me in minutes to say that "Hire Intelligence" was well-known and a regular, reliable supplier to Microsoft. So your reputation is pretty good! Also, Sydney University was exceptionally pleased with the service and deal they received from Hire Intelligence! The Institute used the laptop tonight for the first time, and it was a great success. Many thanks for your help; I will certainly recommend Hire Intelligence very highly to friends and colleagues.
- Microsoft
I would like to thank you and your colleagues for the rental of the laptops. They are part of a very important project for us and they went like a dream. Kind regards and we shall speak again in 12 months!

In a competitive media world, the pressure on IT groups to perform and produce results are high. Time is money and lack of delivery by us, can result in poor ratings, consumer switching to other networks and advertisers following in suit. Part of the solution to get an edge on the competitors, are to cement relationships with IT vendors so that both parties have an understanding of business requirements, expectations and look for a ROI on the service or purchase. Hire Intelligence are one of Channel 7's important IT partners who provide IT hire equipment and services to our media network throughout Australia. They continually "make it happen" at the last minute, with a personalised service, that ensures end user requirements are meet. This is often "same" day throughout Australia and usually is a large number of hires. We have never experienced the word "no" to a request. These requests can include non standard boxes which Hire do not provide and they can still provide delivery of the product, within a very short timeframe. Hire Intelligence also have excellent technical support on their equipment and a management team who are not just "sales people", who oversee the entire order from quote to delivery. I have no hesitation in the recommendation of Hire Intelligence as an excellent partner and supplier of IT Hire equipment and services to you.

Perfect Alliance completed her sweep of the Charles Singer Memorial with dominant 1:52.2 stakes record performance in the $53,200 final for Andy Miller.
Sent away as the overwhelming 1/5 betting choice, Perfect Alliance followed Time To Quit around the first turn before brushing to the top before the 55- half. Ray Hall ranged up first over for Tetrick and pressed the leader toward the 1:24- three quarters before Perfect Alliance kicked it into another gear and drew out to an open length win under minimal urging in the record mile.
Longshot Little Bitty Lies rallied late for Marcus Miller to take the place and Time To Quit stuck around for third.
The winner is trained by Julie Miller for owners Meadowlands Racing Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gural (racing under Little E, LLC), General Manager & CEO Jason Settlemoir, Dave Stolz and Art Geiger. Julie Miller was beaming with pride in the winners circle. "She was unbelievable tonight," said Miller. "I couldn't be more excited. She had a great week, was training great all week and she raced great tonight." Miller confirmed the Bobby Weiss will be next on her mare's agenda.
National Debt continued the parade of unbeaten prospects when he captured the $60,500 Buddy Gilmour pacing series final in Saturday's eleventh race.
Driver Tim Tetrick protected the eventual winner's position from the rail, allowing second choice Capital Account a short lead before retaking before the 55.2 half. The winner faced token pressure through the 27.4 third panel with Gingras waiting in the pocket with Capital Account for the homestretch to unleash his colt from the pocket.
National Debt had the answer when asked by Tetrick, sprinting home in 27.2 for the 1:50.3 win. Capital Account was a well meant second and Dinner At The Met third. Tetrick was pleased with his colt once again. "A 1:50 mile in March is pretty big," said Tetrick. "He got a little lazy on the lead and he has some things to learn, but the talent is there. Now we just have to see if he can pace in 1:47."
National Debt is now six for six in his career and doubled his lifetime earnings with the Gilmour win for owners Kelly Hoerdt, Ema & Blair Corbell and their new partner J & T Silva Stables. Ron Coyne, Jr has been deputized by Hoerdt to tend to his prize pupil while stateside and his work thus far has been impeccable.
Total handle for the Saturday program was $3,426,720, which included slight on-track gains.
Racing returns Thursday, with a 10-race program and post time at 7:15 P.M.

The Health Access Partnership Project for Youth club, commonly referred to as the HAPPY club, is an initiative that came to fruition through a longstanding collaboration between the hospital, the Kids Come First Clinic, the City of Ontario's Healthy Ontario Program, Partner for Better Health, and other community partners.
HAPPY's goals are to:
- Increase health plan enrollment for qualified children
- Conduct health screenings for children without access to healthcare through collaboration and coordination of care among public/private entities
- Demonstrate cost savings through new models of care for children within targeted groups
The hospital has partnered with medical staff to attend to the specialty care referrals and has provided free diagnostic procedures for more than 250 children. Members of the hospital's medical staff donate their time and resources to interpret diagnostic exams and to provide specialized medical care and treatment beyond the routine care provided by the Kids Come First Community Clinic. The hope for the future is that other communities can replicate this model to improve access to healthcare for their children.

Why do you need to read your data synchronously? Why not read lines from your command asynchronously, and create the messages in a callback? There are many AnyEvent modules to make running and getting output back from external commands easy, but there is also AnyEvent::Util::fork_call (which serialises the whole output of your command before calling the callback).
Alternatively, you could probably use an IO watcher like this:
