Update February 26, 2013:
Well it is happy news for Honey's puppies. Now about 6-7 weeks old they have been named Bailey, Toffee and Miel. They are wonderful little puppies, very happy, friendly, social, outgoing and adorable. And happily all three are reserved for new homes. Bailey has a new home here in Portugal, and Toffee and Miel have new homes in Germany. They are still too young to move to their new homes and remain in the loving hands of their foster family.
Honey is a lovely dog, very sweet natured, friendly. She was separated from the puppies and sterilized February 19th. Since then she has been staying at our rehoming centre until she properly recovers and will be going back to her owner and the school very soon.
For more photos of the puppies, please visit our animals reserved.
Original Post Jan 29, 2013:
Two weeks ago, during a school run, we were shocked to run into a very sweet, loving mummy dog in the parking lot of the Escola Internacional Sao Lourenco. A few inquiries later and it was a call to action…..This lovely dog, called Honey, belongs to a neighbour, unfortunately though he is not the most attentive of owners, although Honey does seem happy and unlike so many she does have her freedom and a safe place to live.
So immediately realizing the problem, and not wanting to leave the puppies where they were, we offered to take Honey and puppies in to our care. One of the teachers crawled under the cabins to bring the puppies out, and mummy and puppies were taken immediately to the vet.
The puppies were only new born, and sadly they were not doing very well in the cold nights, without proper care or nutrients. After several days only three puppies survived, as even with proper food Honey did not have enough milk to care for so many puppies.
Honey and the three puppies (2 girls and 1 boy) are now in the loving hands of a volunteer foster family. They have just opened their eyes! So we think their date of birth is about January 15. Once they are a little older they will be posted as available and will need to find loving homes and families of their own.
Mummy Honey will also be sterilized before she is brought back to her owner, so as there are no more unwanted puppies born. And this will mean that Honey can live a far longer and happier life without having to struggle to care for litter after litter of puppies.
But our thanks go to the school, for their understanding of the situation in Portugal. For knowing that while they also must care for the students, Honey was a gentle girl and she and her puppies also deserved a chance to find safety, to find food, and proper care. Many other businesses, schools, restaurants would have simply called the munipal camara…. And for Honey and her puppies that would have been a death sentence…
So we are more than glad to help, this is what we do, and here is hoping that the puppies will all soon find special loving homes.
To be able to respond like this, to help Honey and her puppies, to care for the puppies, provide food, vaccinate and most importantly sterilize Honey…it all costs money. In total Honey and puppies will cost approximately 250 euros (food, Honey's sterilization, wormers, vaccines). To donate either food or money please visit how to donate. A collection tin is also at the local school and all money received into this tin will go towards the care of honey and her puppies. To make a donation via the website for Honey and puppies please just reference "honey" to any payments made by paypal, transfer, or cheque.
We will keep all updates, money raised, and the future of Honey and puppies updated on the website or facebook!
Please help us keep helping!

I attended a college graduation party for a friend of the family a few weeks back. Late May evenings can be mischievous, weather-wise, and it began to rain as soon as guests arrived. The event was staged to take place in a backyard but people, food, gifts and pets were quickly ushered in. I ended up having a great time, but later in the evening, as we made our way to our cars, I heard a group of men and women in their early 60s complaining about the rain.
This took me by surprise. Had these people more than twice my age never seen rain on a late Spring evening? Apparently not: I overheard one individual on a cell phone, dourly, responding to a query as to how the party was. "It rained," he said. "what do you mean, 'how was it?'"
I distinctly remember this person sipping scotch and having some laughs during the party, but yet all he could focus on was the rain. Life is full of negative experiences, but within them are opportunities to find some positive takeaway, if we really feel like looking. Nothing is entirely negative.
I am reminded of this as the debate over the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) draws to a close. I have had many discussions with Boomers, Millennials and those in between who disagree with the legislation. Comparatively, Boomers are not able see the legislation as more than a magnum opus being conducted by the long arm of the government. While those who belong to younger generations, though just as ardent in their opposition, are more nimble and able to extract valuable provisions that they would be glad to see enacted if they were not part of a huge law that they are opposed to.
One of those provisions is the requirement that plans that offer dependent coverage make that coverage available to dependents up to age 26.
The Economic Policy Institute found that the unemployment rate for high school graduates was 31.1 percent over the last year (April 2011- March 2012) and for college graduates over the same period of time, 19.1 percent.
The Boomers that I have debated with over the dependent coverage provision of PPACA have given me some fuzzy math about how their premiums will now go up because young people are not subject to proper underwriting. I am not completely sold on that. Even if it is the case, socking the Boomers isn't the only answer insurers have.
I find it frustrating that Boomers, who frankly have never had to deal with the kind of economic challenges Millennials are facing when they were the Millennials' age, are so quick to oppose this provision even though employer-sponsored health care is the way of our world and unemployment rates for high school and college graduates are comparable to the joblessness of the Great Depression.
Just as the gentleman who described the party as a wash made up his mind that the party was a failure due to the weather, I suspect that Boomers realize that this provision is a positive one but cannot separate it from the ogre that is PPACA.
Here's the thing: others are obviously able to separate the good from the bad in PPACA and not be stubbornly rigid in their interpretation of the divisive law. Among them: UnitedHealth Group which has publicly said it will stick with this provision even if the Supreme Court strikes the law down. Likewise, UnitedHealth's main competitors, Aetna Inc., Hartford, and Humana Inc. are in no mood to vilify themselves by striking down the provision.
A friend of a friend was considering re enrolling in a community college even though he had recently graduated in order remain on his parent's health plan. I'm not sure if the scheme would have worked but the tuition was cheaper than purchasing a plan. Is this where we really want to be? Using our acumen accrued at expensive universities for connivance just so we can have access to health care?
Recent graduates have enough obstacles on their plates. The cards are stacked against them. An admission from some of our elders that are against PPACA that it is, at least, not all bad would be nice. And if that is impossible, then maybe they could consider getting recent grads some health insurance instead of a card and complaints about the weather.

This is a full guide for using OxTS Georeferencer to produce pointclouds of your surveys. This will guide you from recording your data to viewing your pointcloud. This guide follows an example of an xNAV and VLP-16 although the principles are the same for any compatible LiDAR device and OxTS INS.
Method Summary
- Set up your INS and LiDAR devices in your vehicle. Connecting them to a power source and to a computer and make sure your IP configurations are correct. Follow this Hardware integration guide for VLP-16 integration
- Measure precisely the angles (yaw, pitch and roll) and distances (x, y and z) between the INS and the LiDAR, using the IMU measurement frame as your datum.
- Check your data streams and logging if you are viewing them in real time.
- Complete your initialisation and warm-up run. To get the best output from your unit you can read here.
- Complete your boresighting procedure if you are doing one. Remember to log this run in different files to a survey.
- Complete your survey run, check again beforehand that your data is logging and in a separate file to your boresighting run. Do another warm-up at the end of the survey if you will use combined processing, you can turn the LiDAR logging off for this.
- FTP to your INS device and retrieve the RD, LCOM and VAT files from your runs.
- Process your raw data file how you want it, with combined processing and RINEX files using NAVsolve to produce your NCOM file. Ensure Local Coordinates are enabled
- Create your LIP and LIR files from your measurements. Use a boresighted LIR file if you made one.
- Drag your NCOM, LiDAR, LIP, LIR and VAT files into Georeferencer and check the journey path in the window.
- Check in the Hardware tab that your configuration is correct and make appropriate adjustments.
- Run Georeferencing to produce your pointcloud.
This section is a brief guide to setting up your equipment to make a LiDAR survey. A full guide for integrating the hardware of a VLP-16 with an OxTS INS device can be accessed here. You will need to place the INS and LiDAR device on or in your vehicle with the LiDAR having an appropriate view. It is very important at this stage that you make sure both devices are secure and do not move during the survey. The next step is to measure the positional and angular offset.
When you set up your configuration you will need to measure the relative distance between the INS measurement point and the LiDAR optical centre. Make sure to do this accurately and that you measure from the measurement point of each device not just the centre of their housings. These measurements include the XYZ linear displacement and also their relative roll, pitch and yaw. This is in addition to the INS-vehicle configuration measurements that NAVconfig requires (VAT file). These measurements won't be needed during set up but note them down for later. If you want centimetre accuracy you will have to ensure the XYZ displacment is accurate to better than a centimetre.
It is particularly convenient to use a fixed mounting if you want to take many surveys and to be more accurate in your measurements. If you have a standard, repeatable configuration your life will be much easier as you only need to take configuration measurements once. CAD files of the LiDAR will be available from the manufacturer and of the INS from OxTS.
Figure 1: A mount that OxTS uses internally. It has a fixed relative position and orientation and holds both devices securely to the vehicle. On the right is a view of the setup that can be seen in Georeferencer.
There are many different ways of setting up your cable connections depending on your preferences. Below, on the left, is a diagram of the setup for taking data. On the right is a selection of choices for viewing data. These are discussed more thoroughly in the next section. You can choose setup 1 or 2 to view both streams of data in real time or setup 3 to see only one stream of data or to setup the INS. Your computer may require USB-ethernet adapters.
Figure 2: Diagram of a device setup. On the left, the setup of cables to run the devices and log data. On the right, setup for viewing data in real time.
If using a Velodyne product, you can use the Velodyne web interface to make some checks. Putting the IP address of the VLP into a web browser will bring up the web interface (see Figure 3), you can check there that the PPS is locked and that there is a real time GPS position (the LiDAR is receiving NMEA data). Additionally, you can open VeloView to see the LiDAR data in real time.
Figure 3: The Velodyne web user interface is accessed by typing the IP address into a web browser tab. Check that PPS is 'Locked' and the GPS Position is updating in real time (and so the LiDAR is receiving NMEA).If you are using two ethernet ports to your computer to view both the INS data and the LiDAR data in real time you will likely need to bridge the connections and ensure all devices are using the correct IP addresses. You will have to configure IP address if using setup 1 or 2 from the above section. This is so the computer can receive both streams of data but also so that the LiDAR can receive the NMEA from the INS and the INS can log the LCOM data. The LiDAR data can be recorded as a PCAP file in VeloView (for Velodyne products) simply by clicking the record button or by using Wireshark.
In NAVconfig > Hardware Setup > LiDAR Scanner, select your scanner type and, if using onboard LiDAR logging, tick the boxes for logging data and logging telemetry. You then have a choice of sending your NMEA data over ethernet or over serial (see Figure 4). The cable connection that supplies the LiDAR with power from the INS also sends the PPS and serial data. NMEA data can be sent over an ethernet connection using a connector, a switch or a network bridge. The default ports should not need to be altered. If you are sending data over ethernet you will need to put the IP address of the LiDAR device in, alternatively you can use the broadcast IP address 255.255.255.255 but this may unnecessarily saturate your network.
Figure 4: Selecting how NMEA data is transferred from the xNAV to the VLP (right highlighted box). Selected scanner type, inputting IP address and data logging settings (left box).
It is important that your INS is initialized while it is taking data, this is because initialization is used as part of the synchronization check. Initialisation is when your INS device locks onto its location and heading. You are able to view in NAVdisplay if your system is initialised or is ready for initialisation. You do not have to begin your survey initialized but at least one third of the time your data file is recording you should be initialized. In NAVconfig > Environment you can set your initialisation settings to use static (requires dual antenna) or dynamic initialisation .
If you are not using NAVsuite 2.8 and you choose 'Send NMEA over serial 1' as an option you will need to then go to NAVconfig > Interfaces > Serial 1 Output and ensure that GPGGA and GPHDT are switched off (see Figure 5).
Figure 5: Ensure that the only message transmitting at 1Hz is the GGRMX and that GPGGA and GPHDT are disabled. You won't have to do this if using NAVsuite 2.8.
In NAVconfig > Environment you will need to select 'Enable local coordinates' and choose your origin (see Figure 6). This can be done in post-processing in NAVsolve > Process > Local coordinates or by creating an LRF file manually. Doing it before your survey will simplify the processing later.
Figure 6: Enabling local coordinates in NAVconfig, you can then choose your origin.
It is encouraged that you check that the correct data is being logged and to have a trial before starting your survey. You can easily connect the INS to the LiDAR via the INS user cable and when they are connected and configured properly the INS should be automatically taking the LiDAR data and storing it locally as an LCOM file. OxTS offers multiple cable types with LiDAR adapter interfaces, these can be seen in the manual. Version 3 OxTS INS devices can store up to 32GB of raw data (INS + LiDAR).
While taking your data, you may wish to break up your survey into multiple runs. This can be done easily using NAVdisplay. If you are viewing your INS data in real time then you can click in the box at the bottom of NAVdisplay and type "!log log on" and "!log log off" and then click send to stop and start data logging. The RD file will continue to log as it runs in a separate process of the firmware but the LCOM will stop, you can view this happening by using an FTP connection and seeing that the file size does not grow after refreshing. You can use the same RD file for multiple surveys later.
If you open OxTS Georeferencer you will see that you require 5 files in the Files tab. These are an NCOM file, a LiDAR and an LIP, LIR and VAT file (see Figure 7). All of these files are simple to obtain after completing your survey, they can also be available during your survey. You can drag your files from File Explorer into Georeferencer.
Figure 7: The Files tab in Georeferencer showing your 5 files and the NCOM journey on Bing maps.
You will need information about your vehicle trajectory in order to Georeference. This will be in an NCOM file. To obtain your NCOM file you will need to retrieve your raw data file from the INS and then process it into an NCOM. You can FTP to the INS via an ethernet connection and download any files you need, this can be done in NAVsolve, File Explorer or Filezilla and you can then download the files to your computer. In File Explorer type ftp://192.168.1.xxx where the x's are the IP address of the INS (see Figure 8). The time that the data log started is recorded in the name of the file. When you have the RD file you will need to process it, this is done using our NAVsolve software and you can find a guide for processing your RD file here.
Figure 8: Using an FTP connection (ftp://192.168.1.13) to the INS to retrieve the two most recent files in its data. You can use an FTP connection in real time to check that the INS is logging the RD and LCOM file by refreshing the File Explorer window and viewing the file size. The highlighted RD file was created on the 12th February 2020 (20/02/12) at 15:24 as seen in its filename.
The second file you need is a LiDAR file, this can be LCOM or PCAP. An LCOM file can be found on the INS via an FTP connection if you set up your devices for this. If you didn't setup your devices to record LCOM then you will have recorded a PCAP during the survey run via some software like Wireshark or Veloview. You will need to take this file from where you saved it and drag it into OxTS Georeferencer.
The first check that OxTS Georeferencer makes is that the LiDAR data is PPS synchronized and has NMEA data, this will depend on if you have set up the device connections correctly. If the data passes this check you should see a tick. If the file fails synchronization, consider your setup again and check any connections and network configurations you have, you should be able to do this in real time (see above sections). Remember that the INS must be initialised for the LiDAR log to have the required synchronisation. To be able to process your pointcloud the NCOM and LiDAR data must align in time as well. Opening an NCOM in OxTS Georeferencer will show your journey route overlaid on Bing maps to help you check which survey the NCOM corresponds to. If using a PCAP, you will see under the map the time overlap that the PCAP and NCOM data sets have. A pointcloud will be created for the time that the LiDAR and INS data overlap.
The VAT file is the angular configuration of the INS with respect to the vehicle frame. You must put in some preliminary measurements for this when setting up in NAVconfig but the system will intelligently improve the angles throughout the journey. You therefore do not have to make a VAT file yourself. After processing your raw data file the VAT file will be available in the "Process_..." folder created by NAVsolve. The VAT file is a simple text file with a .vat extension.
The LIP file is the positional configuration of the LiDAR with respect to the INS frame. This is the x, y and z displacement from the INS measurement point to the LiDAR device, each of these measurements is on their own respective line in a simple text file with an .lip extension. You can create an LIP file by clicking on the LIP plus icon in Georeferencer and then input the numbers in the Hardware Configuration tab. You should have measured these while setting up and they should be as accurate as possible.
For users used to using commas instead of points for a decimal point separator you must use a point. The next version of Georeferencer will accomodate for comma separators.
The LIR file is the angular configuration of the LiDAR with respect to the INS frame. This is the relative yaw, pitch and roll displacement between the INS measurement axes and the LiDAR device axes, each of these measurements is on their own respective line in a simple text file with an .lir extension. You can create an LIR file by clicking on the LIR plus icon in Georeferencer just like the LIP.
You can make estimations for the correct axes beforehand and then edit them in the Hardware tab of Georeferencer where you can view the configuration. In addition, if you have done a boresighting run, make sure you use the boresighted LIR values. A boresighted LIR file will have a flag value of '1' on a fourth line to signify it is optimised.
Example LIR, LIP and VAT files are available at the bottom of the page.
Figure 9: In the Files tab you can create the LIP and LIR files by clicking the plus icon. The files are then edited and viewed using the Hardware Configuration tab.
Figure 10: The hardware tab allows you to view your configuration and make alterations to the LIP and LIR files.
Boresighting is OxTS's in-built calibration method. When you make your angular offset measurements they can be quite difficult to make accurately. A small angular error can make a large difference to a pointcloud and potentially lower the quality of your survey. We recommend you boresight your configuration before carrying out a survey; but once a configuration is boresighted it will not need to be boresighted again. Boresighting will make your LIR file much more accurate and prevent blurred images or 'double vision' that may occur. A guide for boresighting can be viewed here.
Figure 11: Example comparison of an unboresighted (left) and boresighted (right) LIR (orientation) file. The calibration is able to refine the orientation much finer than it is possible to do by sight.
Figure 12: Example of a pointcloud before (left) and after (right) boresighting.
A useful feature for different applications is the ability to choose the distance range of points that OxTS Georeferencer will turn into a pointcloud. This is done by changing the minimum and maximum parameters under 'Range Between which points will be written (m):' section in Files > Advanced Settings. If you want to only see a road for example and not surroundings far away then you can restrict the range to 0-10m. If you wanted to only see over a certain range, in some geographical application for example, you can set the range to 10-100m.
Many of the advanced settings are achievable in pointcloud post-processing software but due to the large file size it is often more useful to do it during the creation of the pointcloud.
With your 5 compatible files you will be able to click Run Georeferencing. This will create a folder in the directory that the NCOM data is in or where you specify in the Files tab; the folder will contain your pointcloud, the LIP, LIR and VAT used and 2 processing logs.
Georeferencer can create pointclouds in LAS, LAZ (compressed) or PCD formats. This is chosen in the Files > Advanced Settings tab. The default is an LAZ file.
You will now be able to view your cloud in your choice of pointcloud viewing software (eg CloudCompare, QT reader or others). OxTS Georeferencer is available to download and will be available for use with all OxTS systems until September 2020 (feature codes will be required after this point), if you would like example sets of data please get in touch or download straight from the website. We also appreciate you sharing your data with us.

Choose Any Porn X Videos site, and plunge into the world of crazy hardcore sex.
For our first date he took me to a chinese restaurant and afterwards we shared our first kiss outside the restaurant.Since then we've been on many dates." "I first contacted Rod when I saw his diary post.I was attracted to his smile and he was wearing his motorbike leathers and looked very handsome.For our first date Rod rode a 300 mile round trip to watch me compete in a charity race.It really had the appearance and layout that you would expect to see on many types of forums.This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's just a little odd to look at until you grow accustomed to it.The site is free to use, meaning people don't have to part with any money to start finding their matches.
From then on, it is up to the users whether they would like to chat more or even meet in person.It's definitely a special feature that makes this dating site different and special from any other one out there.You won't find many that let you contact every member of the site without a catch.Well, the only way you'll be able to get used to, is by being a part of the site for some time to come, which is something that you have to decide for yourself.The one thing I do like, is that plenty of fish lists all the rules immediately, so you know just what is tolerable and what isn't.
I have been talking to this guy on pof dating site last time i did was 2 weeks ago.
One thought on "new fish dating site"

Jeremy Renner didn't know why "Kill the Messenger" had to be a movie until he was halfway through it. It tells of Gary Webb, a journalist at the tiny San Jose Mercury News who broke a story alleging a link between the CIA and the sudden appearance of crack-cocaine in parts of Los Angeles. What finally got Renner on board was the aftermath, when Webb was hounded for his piece to the point where his career was destroyed. In 2004 Webb was found dead of an apparent suicide.
"It was a movie I wanted to do," Renner recalls. "Then it was a movie I had to do."
Still, he found his take on the film evolving as production of the film, his first as a producer, went on. "Before it was about Gary Webb and his plight. I love the David and Goliath story, the everyman in extraordinary circumstances," he says. "Ultimately it became a commentary on where we are today. I wouldn't have known two years ago when we were doing this that whistle blowing would be such a popular topic right now."
But it was more than that. It also touched on newspapers. "Good journalism is not popular. People don't care about good writing and good investigative reporting. They care about nude celebrity leaked photos. And that's sad," he says. "You can't blame the media, even though I do. They do exacerbate the fire that's already started. But it's people who want to see this stuff."
Playing a journalist meant he had to learn about it. "That was a new thing for me to think about, being on that side of it, rather than having hatred towards it," he says. Indeed, Renner has been hounded by a number of rumors about his personal life, which he tirelessly insists are erroneous. He consulted with "Kill the Messenger" screenwriter Peter Landesman and his "The Hurt Locker" author Mark Boal, both former investigative reporters. But he was also concerned with how journalism would actually look like onscreen.
"No one wants to see Gary Webb researching. That's just not fun," Renner explains. "So we had him talk about his research with his editor."
Acting can be a form of journalism, especially if you're playing a real person. He says he didn't meet with Webb's family until he had done his own research into Webb as a person. "He was tenacious and self-righteous and stubborn. Those are attributes but they're also flaws," he says. "That's what I love about Gary Webb: He's unapologetically flawed, and that's what makes him heroic. He accepted all those things about himself." Without that drive, Renner says, Webb might never have pushed to get these allegations out in the open.
"Kill the Messenger" exists chiefly because Renner's name is familiar to the globe's moviegoers; in fact, he read the script while shooting "Marvel's The Avengers." Renner has that series, plus "Mission: Impossible" and the "Bourne" series (though Matt Damon has since reclaimed his role in the franchise). "Doing 'Avengers' movies lets me do 'Kill the Messenger," he explains. "We do those, then we get to make this movie that no one seemingly wants to make, because it's not easy. No one's throwing money at 'Kill the Messenger.'"
It's easy to forget — in part because the movie was forgotten almost as soon as it was released — but Renner got his start in no less than 1995's "National Lampoon's Senior Trip," in which he played one of the misbehaving, slacker teens. "That was my first job ever as an actor on film," he says. "I don't like to bash something that meant so much to me at the time. It's a crap movie, but it was a huge thing for me. It gave me a lot of confidence."
It also introduced him to costar Tommy Chong. Asked what he's like, he says, "Pretty much what you'd think. I remember some guitar streaming form his trailer, as well as some smoke." It wasn't, he recalls, herbal.

After their second ride, when it was time for Santanna to dismount, Dealer instinctively bent her left front leg so Santanna could slide right off. She told Clark: You know you are straight from the source going to have to sell her to me, right? Though she has had no training for riders with disabilities, Dealer can sense when Santanna becomes unbalanced because her left leg is tired why not try these out the femur is cut so it gets sore more quickly even if Santanna tries to hide it. She might as well be in cahoots with Santannas family and her riding coach. She just knows. She is so intuitive, Santanna says. She completely judges what I can do and what I cant. Earlier on the March evening, Santanna opens the stable door and calls in the horses and ponies from the paddock, muddy from the wet snow. They trail in one at a time: Dealer, Eddie, Dans horse Kylo, who is prone to neighing loudly when he feels neglected, and her mothers mischievous pony Colby, who once chased off a pack of wolves. The three miniature ponies Timbit, Jenga and Momma follow. Santanna says shes going to train them to pull her around the town in a cart. The stable is entirely accessible. From her electric wheelchair Santanna mucks out the stalls and feeds and grooms the horses every day except Wednesdays (her mom gives her the day off).

Association Praises Programs to Help Low-Income, Moderate Income Customers, But Settlement Shows Need for Utility Consumer Advocate as proposed by NYS Assembly
ALBANY, N.Y. – AARP New York State Director Beth Finkel issued the following statement today on the New York State Public Service Commission's approval of the National Grid utility rate settlement:
"A double-digit rate increase is simply too much for the overburdened New York consumers who rely on National Grid for their energy.
AARP appreciates that regulators reduced the company's original request for an over 20% hike in both electric and natural gas delivery rates, but a double digit increase over the next three years will still pose hardships for consumers.
AARP is also disappointed regulators did not lower the high fixed customer charges for residential consumers, which hurt low-energy users while failing to encourage conservation.
This agreement again shows the need for New York to join 40 other states by establishing an independent utility consumer advocate with the power to challenge unfair rate increases in court. We're glad the State Assembly included creation of such a consumer advocate in its state budget proposal this week.
AARP is glad regulators heeded our call to limit a costly 'smart grid' project rollout and to incorporate the new low-income energy programs that have been a part of other recent utility rate cases.
We're also encouraged that under the settlement, National Grid has committed to proposing energy efficiency programs in the future that target moderate income customers. We look forward to working with the utility on these initiatives.
Lastly, AARP appreciates that the agreement passes on to customers savings National Grid will realize from the new federal corporate tax rate that took effect this year, and we will continue to work with the Public Service Commission to ensure Governor Cuomo's promise that consumers see the full benefit of tax reform."

Background: Reports of physical activity (PA) measured via wrist-worn accelerometers in adolescents are limited. This study describes PA levels in adolescents at baseline of an obesity prevention and weight management trial. Methods: Adolescents (n = 930) at 8 high schools wore an accelerometer for 7 days, with average acceleration values of <50 mg, >150 mg, and >500 mg categorized as sedentary, moderate, and vigorous PA, respectively. In a 3-level mixed-effects generalized linear model, PA was regressed on sex, weight status, and day of week. Daily PA was nested within students, and students within schools, with random effects included for both. Results: Adolescents accumulated a median of 40 minutes daily of moderate to vigorous PA (MVPA). MVPA was significantly different for teens with obesity versus teens with normal weight (−5.4 min/d, P = .03); boys versus girls (16.3 min/d, P < .001); and Sundays versus midweek (−16.6 min/d, P < .001). Average sedentary time increased on weekends (Saturday: 19.1 min/d, P < .001; Sunday: 44.8 min, P < .001) relative to midweek but did not differ by sex or weight status. Conclusions: Interventions to increase PA in adolescents may benefit from focusing on increasing weekend PA and increasing MVPA in girls.

Research Phase 7 Business taxes
1 Personal taxes and location decisions
Personal taxes, labour regulation, and the location decisions of multinationals
Shafik Hebous
Alfons J. Weichenrieder
This paper examines the effects of international differences in labour market conditions on multinational firms' entry decisions. In
particular, we focus on labour market regulations and top personal income taxes and explicitly distinguish between the modes of the
new investment. We find that corporate taxes in a potential host country seem more detrimental for Greenfield than for Merger and
Acquisitions (M&A). Our results for the effects of personal taxes point into the same direction, but depend on the estimation method
and the chosen sample of countries.
2 Corporate taxation and capital
Corporate taxation and capital accumulation: evidence from firm-level data
Stephen Bond
Jing Xing
We estimate the long-run elasticity of the capital stock with respect to the user cost of capital using two firm-level datasets from
Amadeus, which cover 31,740 domestic independent firms and 10,666 subsidiaries of multinational companies in the manufacturing
sector from 7 European countries over the period 1999-2007. Consistent with the results based on the industry-level data in Bond and
Xing (2010), we find that capital intensity at the firm level is strongly responsive to changes in the tax-adjusted user cost of capital. Our
benchmark estimation results remain robust when we deal with short panel issues and the endogeneity of explanatory variables using
the Generalised Methods of Moments estimator suggested by Arellano and Bond (1991). Our preliminary investigation suggests that
firms with different tax status may respond differently to corporate tax incentives. Furthermore, using a sample of subsidiaries of
multinational companies, we do not find multinational companies capital intensity, conditional on their location choice of investment,
responds to changes in corporate tax incentives in a different way.
3 Territoriality
Territoriality, worldwide principle, and competitiveness of multinationals: a firm-level analysis of tax burdens
Giorgia Maffini
Using consolidated firm-level accounting data for about 3,400 companies in 15 OECD countries from ORBIS (2003-2007), this paper
compares the tax burden of companies headquartered in worldwide countries with that of companies headquartered in territorial
countries. The tax burden is measured by a marginal effective tax rate (METR) and, employing a new methodology, by a marginal
effective tax base (METB) which controls for statutory corporate tax rates. A higher METR for entities headquartered in worldwide
jurisdictions is explained by higher corporate statutory tax rates rather than by the difference in the taxation of foreign profits. The METB
of companies headquartered in worldwide countries is not statistically different from that of companies headquartered in territorial
countries. Using corporate presence in tax havens, the paper also investigates the vulnerability of territorial jurisdictions to tax
avoidance. The results show that offshore low-tax operations reduce the METR and the METB of multinationals more in territorial
systems than in worldwide systems.

Washington Post: "Obamacare's opponents have heralded reports from various parts of the country warning of double-digit percentage increases in insurance premiums proposed over the past couple of months. (These are premiums for individuals buying insurance on ACA marketplaces; employer-sponsored plans, which most Americans have, are not the primary focus of the law.) For example: Even after regulator review, Oregon's largest ACA marketplace insurance plan will hike its 2016 premiums by 25 percent, and its second largest by 33 percent."
"Big increases in the price of one insurance product, however, don't necessarily represent overall trends. The Kaiser Family Foundation has produced a comprehensive study of 2016 premium increases and found that benchmark plans in 10 states and the District are rising an average of only 4.4 percent. Some insurers are decreasing their premiums by double digit percentages next year; others are increasing them by double digit percentages; many others are seeing relatively modest changes. The Department of Health and Human Services found in June that 'most people will be enrolled in plans with proposed rate increases of less than 10 percent.'"
"True, average numbers won't be comfortable to those facing double-digit premium increases in an insurance plan they like. Yet these customers aren't locked into that plan. An HHS study released Thursday found that market competition increased markedly in 2015, and Obama administration officials predict it will again in 2016. People, in other words, have options."

Los Angeles Lakers star guard Kobe Bryant will have the weekend to ponder treatment options for what doctors confirmed Friday was a torn rotator cuff injury in his right shoulder.
Bryant suffered the injury Wednesday in a game at New Orleans and an MRI exam Thursday revealed the injury, its findings backed after exams Friday from Lakers team physician Steve Lombardo, who discussed options with Bryant, including the possibility of season-ending surgery.
Bryant, who is expected to decide on a treatment course after a Monday exam by another doctor, was able to joke about the situation in a Twitter posting.
"This is what happens when I pass too much! #ShoulderShock thank u all for ur thoughts and prayers," Bryant tweeted.
Bryant, 36, is in his 19th NBA season and just last month passed Michael Jordan for third on the all-time NBA scoring list.
But Bryant has struggled with inconsistency much of this season, hitting only 37.3 percent from the field, and Lakers coach Byron Scott says he wants to limit Bryant`s playing time to preserve the guard`s health.
Bryant, who has one season remaining on his contract at $25 million, was voted to the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup Thursday for an unprecedented 17th consecutive year despite his troubles -- remaining a fan favorite despite the setbacks.
Bryant has played on five NBA championship teams with the Lakers, including 2000-2002 plus 2009 and 2010, and helped the United States claim Olympic gold in 2008 at Beijing and 2012 in London.
But the Lakers are a woeful 12-31 this season, second-worst in the Western Conference and fourth-worst in the 30-team league.

Thu August 12, 2004 - Northeast Edition
On June 28, 2004, Bobcat of NY opened the doors of its new Medford facility. The equipment house is the latest growth spurt in a family business that began approximately 70 years ago.
Bobcat of NY's President Todd Prigozen and his brother, Vice President Sage Prigozen, follow in the footsteps of their parents, Elliot and Lynn, who served the equipment needs of New York contractors and landscapers for decades. This tradition of family enterprise traces its roots to the mid-1930s with Sylvan Greenbaum, Lynn's father and the founder of Sylvan Equipment.
Now the family business has entered a new century, evolving to become Bobcat of NY with five locations — Elmsford, Westbury, Maspeth and Medford in New York and a branch in Metro Dade, FL — an expansion they attribute to a combination of highly personalized service and willingness to grow with the times.
The new Bobcat facility at 24 Industrial Blvd. in Medford is actually an outgrowth of a smaller facility established in neighboring Holtsville eight years ago. Customers on eastern Long Island found the blend of family commitment, quality equipment and prompt service to be a great advantage, and both Bobcat and its customers prospered.
However, the Prigozen brothers, together with General Manager Robert Sonnick, knew it was time to expand when the parts department had to use the service shop for storage.
"Although it only caused a slight increase in turn-around time, it was an unacceptable delay," explained Todd. "Our staff needed to continue servicing customers as efficiently as possible, and we certainly required more room for our rental fleet. The rental division is experiencing tremendous growth as more and more businesses take advantage of this service."
Three generations of experience and knowledge are reflected in the new facility's design. The 20,000-sq.-ft. area includes a spacious showroom with user-friendly sales and rental areas, modern service shop, parts department and a well-stocked equipment warehouse.
The warehouse resembles a contractor's dream with organized rows of Bobcat equipment: skid-steer loaders, track loaders, mini-excavators, and a wide variety of attachments and technologically-advanced units — the Toolcat utility work machine and VersaHandler telescopic forklift/tool carrier.
These Bobcat classics are now joined by Stow equipment such as water pumps, concrete mixers and walk-behind saws, and the Ingersoll-Rand family of ride-on rollers and other compaction equipment, air compressors, jackhammers, electric breakers, demo saws and light towers. The extensive product line fills the diverse needs of New York businesses, and reflects the Bobcat motto — "One Tough Animal." Chris Hamblet, branch manager of the new facility, and the experienced staff is already in place, including Jim Badaracco, sales manager; Ruby Petruccelli, parts manager; and Kathy Fromwiller, office manager.

We're excited by the incredibly enthusiastic reception Intapp Open has received in the market.
Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) August 19, 2013
Intapp, Inc., provider of innovative software products that enable law firms to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace, today announced Intapp Open 2.0, a major update to its industry-changing new business acceptance application.
Intapp Open delivers unique data integration, search, reporting, resolution and collaboration features, all through a straightforward, consumer-grade user interface. The net result – conflicts management transformed from a chore to a competitive advantage, providing a simpler, faster and more intuitive experience to all who participate in the process.
The Need for Modernizing Business Intake and Conflicts Management
Today, multiple market trends are putting new pressures on law firms to transform the way they evaluate and engage new business. These include clients with increasing service expectations and a risk landscape with evolving regulatory rules, compliance requirements and professional standards. In response, firms are looking to increase the sophistication, efficiency and agility of their business acceptance processes to better align client selection and terms of business with overall strategy, service models and internal policies.
Remaining competitive in this challenging environment requires a simplified, refined and innovative approach to new business inception. This innovation must address not only how intake and conflicts resolution processes are designed and executed, but also how they are updated and adapted over time in response to changing needs, how individuals interact with the software used to administer them, and how the entire system enables management of the complete client engagement and matter lifecycle. In short, inception must evolve.
Intapp Open – Intelligence Applied, Conflicts Resolved
Intapp Open is a true new business acceptance application. It jettisons the overhead, expense and delay that come with alternative approaches, including dependence on vendor consultants to modify so-called "configurable" application processes or modify reports. Instead, Intapp took a fresh approach, designed to promote immediate customer self-service and long term customer success.
Intapp Open is the result of a multi-year R&D initiative that included input from an advisory group comprising law firms, insurance providers and other industry experts. This collaboration resulted in the development of unique features, including a flexible business rules engine that helps simplify and speed conflicts reporting, analysis and resolution. And it supports conflicts clearance practices that may be centralized, distributed among lawyers and practice heads, or both, depending on firm preferences.
"We're excited by the incredibly enthusiastic reception Intapp Open has received in the market, with adoption by firms with as few as seventy and as many as several thousand lawyers," said Pat Archbold, head of Intapp's Risk Practice Group. "It's no secret that the legal industry is hungry for a fresh approach to new business intake and conflicts management. With Intapp Open 2.0, we continue to deliver the innovation and customer service that law firms deserve."
About Intapp
Intapp provides software products and services that enable law firms to thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace by improving client service, increasing profitability, and reducing operational costs. Intapp's three practice groups (Revenue, Risk and Integration) focus on understanding existing pressures and emerging trends, and translate this knowledge into products and best practices. Intapp products are recognized as the most advanced in their respective categories - DTE Axiom and Time Builder for time entry and recording, Integration Builder for application integration and business process automation, Wall Builder for information and matter security, and Intapp Open for new business intake and conflicts management.

Tom Kent, the Associated Press's deputy managing editor for standards and production, explained it best in a memo to the journalists working for his internationally respected news organisation earlier this month:
"To begin with, combat in Iraq is not over, and we should not uncritically repeat suggestions that it is, even if they come from senior officials. The situation on the ground in Iraq is no different today than it has been for some months.
"As for US involvement, it also goes too far to say that the US part in the conflict in Iraq is over. President Obama said Monday night that 'the American combat mission in Iraq has ended. Operation Iraqi Freedom is over, and the Iraqi people now have lead responsibility for the security of their country.'
Fresh food that lasts from eFoods Direct (Ad)
"However, 50,000 American troops remain in country. Our own reporting on the ground confirms that some of these troops, especially some 4,500 special operations forces, continue to be directly engaged in military operations. These troops are accompanying Iraqi soldiers into battle with militant groups and may well fire and be fired on.
"In addition, although administration spokesmen say we are now at the tail end of American involvement and all troops will be gone by the end of 2011, there is no guarantee that this will be the case."

Plus Size HosieryWritten by Liza Hartung
No matter how tall you are or how much you weigh, hosiery is always a pain. You have to be so careful about putting on stockings because you're afraid you're going to rip a hole in them. You gather up one leg nicely with your thumbs. You point your toes oh so delicately so as not to snag your toenails. You start to roll the stocking up your calf, and you're feeling good. Then you get to your thigh.
This is where we all have a problem. You see the skin start to bunch. The stockings get a little tighter. You're, for some reason, trying to roll them on with grace. We all want to be like the ladies in the stocking commercials. They just move their thumbs up and down and the stockings glide on like she was made of some slippery material.
This is never what happens in real life. Most of the time, we pull our stockings out of their store casing only to pull them on and discover that we have seriously got the wrong size. They either go up to your neck or the crotch stops at your knees. Hosiery is one frustrating invention. However, when the right size is found, it can be very sexy, especially if you have chosen to wear a body stocking for a special evening.
All Those Hose
Body stockings aren't used by many, but they should be. It doesn't matter what size or shape you are. Anything that hugs your body all over except for your head and is see-through is fabulous. I don't know many men who would turn their heads away at that. In addition, if you bring your woman's sexuality to the table, you can't go wrong.

In his first political book, the Trinamool MP and party's leader in the Rajya Sabha, Derek
O'Brien minces no words while dwelling upon the burning issues facing India. Here are some selected excerpts from 'Inside Parliament: Views from the front row'
Parliamentary office is temporary. It is a phase of one's life, not life itself. Don't get
married to the perks. As the joke went in Parliament recently, if the finance minister were a footballer, he'd be wearing jersey number 110. Many great footballers—Pelé, Maradona,
Messi—have worn jersey number 10. With Mr Jaitley, it would be number 110 as a tribute to Article 110, under which a bill can be declared a money bill and moved out of the jurisdictional purview of the Rajya Sabha. Article 110 is liberally used these days for everything, from the Aadhaar Bill to the GST legislation.
Communist years
We Calcuttans remember the Communist years. It was a time when, one by one, so many of my school buddies, college friends, business associates and others I had met socially left Calcutta. Companies shut down, factories gathered rust, the best young minds of our state fled to universities and jobs outside Bengal. The bright lights of Park Street were darkened by the red flags of Communist trade unions and ransom seekers, hijacking a city and its vitality.
Far from a happy life, rural folk in West Bengal faced bullets and knife blades from the CPI(M). From Marichjhapi in 1979 to Nandigram in 2007 to Netai in 2011, the thirty-four years of CPI(M) rule saw thirty-four instances of mass murder—one genocide a year. From 1977 to 2009, there were an estimated 55,000 political murders.
Kashmir, the land, and Kashmiris, the people
Years ago, I read a definition of the difference between a nationalist and a patriot. The nationalist loves his country; the patriot loves the people of his country. This one-liner came back to me as I considered the volatile and worrying situation in the Kashmir Valley, and how some people in India, on social media, on prime-time TV shows and in real life as well, unfortunately, seem to make a distinction between Kashmir, the land, and Kashmiris, the people.
In the end, Kashmir and Kashmiris will be persuaded not by guns and hard power, but by the opportunities in India's economy, and by the openness and variety of our society. An openness of which democracy is one manifestation. An openness of which pellet guns can never, never, never be a manifestation.
'Digital India' vs 'Divisive India'
The social-media armies of the BJP systematically threaten religious harmony and social peace in Bengal. I have often stressed this in the Rajya Sabha, explaining how 'Digital India' is being turned into 'Divisive India'.
Out of nothing, a Twitter trend was created by manipulating timelines and using hashtags like '#BengalIsBurning'. A mischief-maker used Photoshop to concoct an incident and his cohorts ensured it went viral. They pretended it was an organized religious attack. Actually, it was a made-up case, a hoax. #FakeNews. Why is Bengal often singled out? Is it because the Trinamool has taken such a strong and principled stand against the BJP regime's whimsical and irresponsible policies?
Riots before key elections
In Gujarat, the BJP was set to lose the election in 2003. The pogrom of February 2002 was engineered by friendly forces; the election was brought forward. And we know the result. In Muzaffarnagar, in western Uttar Pradesh, religious violence was encouraged before the 2014 Lok Sabha election. It was sustained till the 2017 assembly election.
The governor of Bengal, a crafty Shakha veteran who has been plotting against the state government while residing in Raj Bhavan, often jumps in. He has sometimes used unacceptable language against the elected chief minister. This man writes letters to the chief minister attaching memos on a BJP letterhead. Unbelievable.
Assorted bhakts and the entire Sangh Parivar troll army—'Digital Yoddhas', as they have been called by the BJP top leadership—spew bile on the Internet. Step 1: Get someone to put up a provocative (often morphed) picture on Facebook. Step 2: Amplify the rumour-mongering through digital media and by word of mouth. Step 3: Spread propaganda through mouthpieces masquerading as news channels and independent journalists. Step 4: Get party politicians to jump in and validate the digital dirt as if it were really happening.
India is a 'live and let live' society. Beef is forbidden among most Hindus and the cow is held sacred. I respect that and am certainly not asking for beef to be served at state banquets or in the Parliament canteen. But to ban its use and consumption even in the privacy of a citizen's home and kitchen?
The BJP has every right to attack the Congress, but I'm sure it can do so without firing over the Mahatma's shoulder. Why involve him at all? There has to be a difference between senior political leaders and TRP-chasing news anchors on excitable channels. The party that sought to make merchandise of faith with Lord Rama has deliberately insulted a man who died with Rama's name on his lips. What a pity. What an unpardonable pity.

Collector - Can you use camera to scan barcodes?
We are looking into adding unique barcodes to each asset in the city that we maintain with integration with feature services hosted on ArcGIS online using the Collector App. I have come across this articlehttp://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2014/06/15/do-more-with-collector-using-barcode-scanners/#comment-6359by @Jeff Shaner that shows that you can purchase seperate barcode scanners to use with collector but wondering if collector can use the camera that is already on the iPhone or iPads that we use in the field daily?
I know that there are many apps which have the ability to scan barcodes and pay or get additional information on items (Apple Store App) and there are plenty of QR code readers out there that the iOS devices can use. How can I use that technology that would scan a bar code, pull up the feature and location within collector and edit attributes the attributes of this barcode.
Thank you !

What's wrong with my raspberry bushes?
My raspberry bushes are affected by a disease. I have tried removing sick plants, spraying with Neem oil. It returns next season. New canes are healthy 2nd yr fruiting canes start out fine but leaves begin to turn yellow throughout entire leaf and fruit is small, crumbly or does not even develop. I'm so frustrated. Do i need to pull out all plants and if I do, can I replant in the same area? I have added compost each year. thanks, Colleen
Franklin County Ohio

Raspberries can be affected by a wide range of diseases and insects, as are most cultivated plants. For this reason, it is important to dispose of all pruning waste in the trash and pick ripening raspberries daily when they are producing
Weak plants, chlorotic leaves indicates viral, fungal, bacterial, nutrient deficiency or herbicide injury. Viruses are perhaps a more common reason for lack of production. A raspberry planting is productive for about ten years and yields best in the first five years after planting. Aphids introduce various viruses, which accumulate in a plant over time.
There are 15 known viruses that infect raspberry plants in North America. Once a plant is infected with a virus, it will never recover. Virus infected raspberry plants suffer from reduce growth, low fruit production and poor fruit quality.
Raspberries infected with viral pathogens exhibit a wide range of symptoms, depending on the variety of raspberry, the virus, weather conditions and the stage of infection. Virus infection can result in yellow rings, lines or blotches on leaves, leaf distortion, crumbly underdeveloped fruit or severely stunted plants. The only way to determine exactly which virus is causing the symptoms is to send a sample to the OSU Plant Diagnostic Clinic and pay for the laboratory tests to identify the virus. Additionally, your local OSU extension office may be able to identify the virus from a plant sample.
If your plantings are over ten years and you don't want to send samples for diagnosis, then make a new planting, preferably in new soil. Start the new patch in another area of the garden using new, virus-free plants. You can avoid most of these problems for several years by purchasing only quality, true-to-name, disease-free raspberry varieties. This typically means mail-ordering bare-root plants from reputable nurseries. These should be planted mid-April through early May. Don't plant donated rooted suckers from another gardener because they might be virus-riddled.
For additional information on addressing diseases and growing raspberries, consult:
