Mr. Gallagher Says
Like a lot of five year olds, Daughter #1 had hugely mixed emotions about starting kindergarten.
A precocious little girl -- a Sesame Street devotee, a talker, a thinker, a lover of wordswordswords, early on -- *school* had been a favorite game ever since she was old enough to line up her Barbie dolls and "read" to them from her battered copy of The Poky Little Puppy's Wonderful Winter Day.
After five years of make-believe, the prospect of experiencing the real thing -- of going to school, just like the big kids -- thrilled her.
On the other hand ... going off to school meant leaving Mommy every day.
It was a trade-off.
As we started preparing her for kindergarten, during that summer of 1987 -- buying school clothes and crayons, visiting the pediatrician, trying on shoes, selecting the perfect new backpack -- her anxiety gradually began to eclipse her anticipation.
At night when I tucked her in, she verbalized her fears. She was worried that she would get "lost" at school. She worried that she might fall down on the playground and hurt herself. She worried that the other children might be "mean" to her.
And -- for reasons we could never quite comprehend, since the subject had never ever come up -- she suddenly began to worry obsessively about who her teacher would be. Specifically, whether her teacher would be female or male.
"I don't want to have a man teacher," she said, over and over that summer.
"Don't worry honey," I blandly soothed her. "I'm sure your kindergarten teacher is going to be a nice, pretty lady, and you'll love her, and she'll love you, and you're going to learn lots and lots." [Gack. Bleach my hair and call me Florence Henderson.] I had no idea what was fueling this sudden anxiety of hers. Her father and I had recently reconciled after a traumatic [for Jaymi] one-year separation: was this the cause of her unease?
It didn't really matter anyway, I reasoned. There were no male kindergarten teachers in the Highline School District. The idea was absurd.
So you can imagine the collective horror we felt when Jaymi's school orientation package arrived in the mail, midway through the summer ... including a coloring book, a map of her classroom, a list of supplies she would need, and a lovely "welcome to kindergarten" letter from her teacher-to-be ...
... Mr. Kevin Gallagher.
Perplexity. How could this happen??
My mother -- a secretary at the school district's administrative offices -- did a quick background check for us. Kevin Gallagher was not only brand-new to the district ... he was brand-new to teaching. This would be his very first kindergarten class.
On her first day of school, Jaymi was so nervous that she couldn't finish her Cocoa Puffs. I barely managed a shaky cup of coffee myself.
As we walked to her school together that day, I noticed that her poor little backpack was practically bursting at the seams.
"What in the world have you GOT in there?" I asked her, and she admitted that she was secretly bringing her beloved Cabbage Patch Kid ["Christabel"] and her baby blanket ["Liddle Diddle"] along with her.
"Just in case I need them," she said softly.
My heart split in two at that moment. I wanted to snatch her up and turn around and start running down the road towards the apartment, as fast as I could, with her in my arms ... and then maybe just keep running, all the way back to 1981 when she was still a baby and it was just the two of us, Jaymi and me, spending our mornings in the Kirkland house watching "Ryan's Hope" over coffee and Enfamil ...
But instead we kept
So what happened on that first day? I'll let this blurb from the Memory Book tell the story:
" ... I can hear Jamie singing in the tub. Today will be her fourth day of kindergarten, and so far she's washed her hair every morning ... as I have predicted all summer (indeed: since the day she was born), Jamie fell in love with school the moment she first stepped into the classroom. There are three other little girls from our apartment complex in her class, including her best friend, Sandy Ruckman, and that helps. I went with her on the first day: Jamie's eyes lit up when she saw the big classroom filled with toys and books. Mr. Gallagher shook her hand and introduced himself, and pinned a name-tag on her blouse. Then she and Sandy ran around and explored the classroom. I sat on one of those teeny-tiny chairs in the back of the classroom, trying to look unobtrusive. Jamie was easily the cutest kid in the class. It'll only be a matter of time before her teacher discovers she's the brightest, too!"
Basically: it was love at first sight.
Within days Mr. Gallagher had not only been accepted ... and *forgiven* for being a man ... he pretty much became an honorary member of the family. [Daughter #2 and Son #Only also had him for kindergarten, when the time came for the two of them to start school.] For the next five years all we heard was a steady stream of "Mr. Gallagher said this!" and "Mr. Gallagher said that!" He was quoted more often than Big Bird, Punky Brewster, Santa Claus and Cyndi Lauper, put together.
I'll admit: sometimes it made me want to scream.
Mr. Gallagher proved to be a gifted and intuitive teacher. The thing I liked best about him, I think, is that he was not only interested in helping them become good students ... he was interested in helping them become good people. Jaymi -- and the rest of her classmates, and in later years, her sister and brother -- all bloomed under his attention. His guidelines for "Good Living" became gospel in our household. To this day, all three of the Tots remember their year in Mr. Gallagher's classroom as one of their happier school experiences.
So it was especially meaningful to learn that Mr. Gallagher would be the featured speaker at Jaymi's commencement ceremony this year.
[Reprinted without his permission: I hope he doesn't mind.]
James Baldwin said, "The world is before you, and you need not take it or leave it as it was when you came in."
As I sat in the audience this past Monday afternoon between my mother and David, watching Daughter #1 receive her high school diploma, I *enjoyed* a wide array of emotions ... most of them involving copious amounts of snot, perspiration and soggy Maybelline.
I cried when we got to the stadium, and I saw the tent and the stage and the neat rows of folding chairs, all set up on the football field.
I cried as I sat and read the commencement program, before the ceremony began. I cried when I saw her name printed on page 3, right there between Patricia Kay Piampanichwat and Reid E. Popp.
I cried when the recorded strains of "Pomp and Circumstance" crackled over the speakers, and when the Class of 2000 marched past us, cutely awkward and self-conscious and almost-grown-up in their red caps and gowns. I cried when Jaymi walked up to the podium in her sensible flat sandals.
I cried when the commencement soloist hit the high note [and a couple of other notes beyond the high note] during 'The Star Spangled Banner.' I cried when a tiny white airplane flew above the stands during 'I Believe I Can Fly.' I cried when Jaymi turned to wave at me, once or twice. I cried as I sat and watched the back of her head, and as she shook hands with her principal, and as she moved her tassle from right to left.
[I cried when I snagged my $14 pantyhose on the #%*&! splintery bleacher seats. But that's another story for another day.]
It was an afternoon of exquisitely fluid emotions.
But nothing -- I mean nothing -- opened up the floodgates for me, personally, like Mr. Gallagher's commencement speech.
I strained to get a look at him. From our twenty-third row seats, he was little more than a blur on the stage ... a tiny dark speck standing at the microphone, amid this sea of bright red and football-field-green. Mom's portable binoculars simply made him a slightly-larger tiny dark speck.
But we could hear every word of his graduation address.
When he asked his former "kinderkids" to stand up -- the eleven graduates who had started out with him in that very first kindergarten classroom thirteen years ago -- I had a lump in my throat the size of a Tobler Chocolate Orange. The lump just kept getting bigger as called them each by name, one by one ... and then as he read through his familiar guidelines to "Good Living."
By the end of his address, I was a puddle.
After the ceremony we made our way out of the bleachers and out to the parking lot and into the crush of graduates and faculty and family members, looking for Jaymi. After hugs and kisses and more teary photo opps, suddenly Mr. Gallagher was standing there in front of us. My mother had plucked him out of the crowd and brought him over to where we were standing.
I smiled at him. I wanted to say, God, Mr. Gallagher ... thank you for everything. Thank you for not scaring her to pieces that first day. Thank you for making her earliest school experience a positive one. Thank you for teaching her about more than letters and numbers and gluing pieces of construction paper together. Thank you for being there to open the door for her, as she arrived on that first day ... and thank you for being there now to close the door behind her, as she leaves. I wanted to say something really meaningful and important and genuine.
Instead I just shook his hand and said, "Thanks."
And Mr. Gallagher said ... "You're welcome."
I hope it was enough. I think it probably was.

It Rains Diamonds on 'Ice Giant' Planets
A new experiment at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory reveals how large diamonds may be formed with just hydrogen and carbon, in the deep interior of ice giant planets such as Uranus and Neptune. Experimental simulations using high powered optical lasers revealed "diamond rain" forming in real time. Scientists predict that diamond crystals would be much larger, and likely to slowly sink down to the planet core over thousands of years.
Professor Glenzer said, "For this experiment we had LCLS, the brightest X-ray source in the world, and intense, fast pulses of X-rays are needed to unambiguously see the structure of these diamonds". These experiments help provide us with better insight into the structure of exoplanets.

In spite of my ongoing fascination in Bion's crafting, the challenge for me resides in Grotstein's method of the subject material, which, to paraphrase his expression, "disturbs my universe" via a generous supplying of an incredibly detailed, occasionally exhausting, personalized and artistic text that operates properly on several stages stretching out among enlightening and performative producing.
The Composer's Legacy by Michael DeStefano is a lovely do the job of fiction, dependant on a historic personage, that combines the arts with The nice skill of storytelling to supply readers a fantastic handle. David Whealy is actually a renowned California songs professor who tumbles on an surprising inheritance. It all starts with an easy, quick letter that reads: "You happen to be named sole beneficiary to the estate of Mr. James Burton West. Even more Guidelines will likely be forthcoming in accordance with the needs of your benefactor." David's daily life alterations all of a sudden as he finds himself catapulted to one other facet in the place, digging into the significance of his inheritance from one of several world's greatest audio composers. He finds more than unpublished new music, and it seems to David that his benefactor didn't even know the extent of his have prosperity, guarded during the family members from just one technology to another considering that 1724.

Ruger is pushy and controlling but Sophie does rise up for herself. She draws a line inside the sand and will not cross it. If Ruger can't be faithful, nicely that's a offer breaker. And for all Ruger's pushiness and managing behaviours, he did regard her line in the sand (effectively, here he experienced a strategy to change her mind needless to say, but ultimately, guess who won?
I want to check the Reader's Bible to a number of preferred alternate options. But very first the comparison which is truly begging to become created is this: the Reader's Bible reminds me many a Library of The united states edition. If you are not acquainted with Library of America, it is a noble publishing enterprise intent on introducing authoritative reader-friendly editions of terrific American literature -- fiction, non-fiction, poetry, journalism, historic writing, you identify it.
Things turn into harmful for her when You can find difficulties concerning a rival club, the Devil's Jacks as well as Reapers and it truly is all the things Sophie feared. But, when it counts, These are there for Sophie.

Matthew Vaughn In Talks To Helm Man Of Steel 2
Kingsman: The Secret Service director Matthew Vaughn is in the middle of negotiations to helm Warner Bros.' planned superhero film Man of Steel 2.
Vaughn, of course, is no stranger to the world of superheroes and comic book adaptations. Alongside the previously-referenced Kingsman (which was based on the comic book by Mark Millar), he has directed Kick-Ass and X-Men: First Class, in addition to recently working on the Kingsman sequel The Golden Circle, which is set for release this coming October.
However, the report stresses that the talks are only in the "deal-making stage", meaning that Vaughn's involvement with the project is far from certain. That being said, the director is one of the primary contenders for the position, and it is likely that he will work with Warner Bros. on one of its many upcoming comic adaptations in the future.
CBR.com, the source of this story, had this to share about Warner Bros.' efforts to reboot the Superman franchise:
There were reports in 2010 that Vaughn and "Kick-Ass" creator Mark Millar pitched a "Superman" movie to Warner Bros, but the studio decided to go with Christopher Nolan and David S. Goyer version of the DC hero. Asked what it would take to create a successful "Superman" movie, Vaughn had an answer at the ready. "I think that's the one thing not to do with Superman, trying to do the serious 'The Dark Knight' version," he said.

Basically I want a network firewall that can at least log connections made, or preferably notify me of connection attempts before they're made so I can choose to allow or deny the attempt. The reason I'm seeking this, is there is an app I just downloaded and it requires the login info for the site that it makes usable on android devices. While I have no particular reason to suspect the app of phishing, I am being very (possibly overly) cautious.

This morning I received a call from a "PRIVATE" number and decided to let it go to the voicemail.
After they left a message, which was a good sign, I listened and found, to my surprise that it was a woman who had come across my resume from Monster.com and was interested in talking to me.
I put my resume up a few months ago just to see what kind of response I would get and so far it has been nill. Now, from the little research that I have done on the company that she worked for it looks as though it may be a recruiting agency. I am going to give them a call later today and get the full scoop.

- Establish customers.
- Agree to deals with as many customers as you can possibly produce for.
- Do not take more orders than you can handle, as this may damage relationships with various customers.
- Keep in mind that large retailers may be very demanding in terms of quantity and delivery.
- Produce the jewelry that your customers order.
- Once you have established a regular customer base, focus primarily on producing jewelry.
- Plan to make a trip to each customer's location every few weeks to supply them with more jewelry. Alternatively, you can ship it to them.
- Hire a Jewelry Representative.
- If your demand is consistently high in your area, hire a Jewelry Representative to market your jewelry to stores in other areas.
- Jewelry Representatives generally earn a 15 percent commission.
- If the Jewelry Representative brings in a high volume of orders, paying the 15 percent commission will be well worth it.
- If you produce a relatively small amount of jewelry, focus on selling to smaller businesses. Your supply may not meet the demand of larger, chain-style stores.

Northland MP Matt King will facilitate two public information sharing forums in Dargaville with Tegel on its planned broiler chicken farm at Arapohue.
These forums will be held on Monday, March 19 from midday-6pm, and Tuesday, March 20 from 10am-2pm at the Lions Club Hall, Dargaville.
The community is invited to meet with company specialists in various fields and ask them questions directly. Northland MP, Matt King, will be facilitating the meetings for the first two hours.
"Tegel will send a small number of representatives with knowledge of the development to set up displays and provide information to take away," Mr King said.
As at close of submissions on Wednesday, March 7 at 4.30pm Northland Regional Council had 2,458 submissions received, with 2,007 of these from a Greenpeace online submission platform.
Seven submissions were in support, the rest are in opposition and want the council to refuse consents. Three hundred and forty four submitters wish to be heard.
Kaipara District Council received 2,502 submissions and were still working through how many were for and against at the time this paper went to print. Please note times for the forums have changed since the announcement in the March 6 edition of the Kaipara Lifestyler.

Today I will have a look and share with you some of the worst sexual intimate infection discuss through unprotected sex.
Following the data collection in the US has become clear that it is, in fact, the male population aged fifteen to twenty years, the treatment for an STD infection has.
The most prevalent STDs
The higher data research shows that the reality of hepatitis, AIDS, HIV, and syphilis at the top of the list of sexual infections, which are caused by unprotected sex.
People sometimes often worry about sexually transmitted infection contract more on the development of HIV or human immunodeficiency. Which give you the full medical disease like AIDS and has no treatment to eliminate it. HIV can develop in those who have an immune system that will be presented by another condition as weak or impaired in any way, if they come into contact with an intimate infection and continue to practice unprotected sex, and left without treating it leads to inflamed genital area which can cause them to spread of lesions all over the body, with the HIV virus to stop with the current drugs and not to treat it.
Hepatitis A and B
Hepatitis means that your liver is enlarged, which can be caused by a high level of poisoning that has a different medical diagnosis or the use of prohibited drugs. Hepatitis A and B can be treated successfully with a real uphill virus immunity build. The most common of which polluted a contract with the B strain or shared syringes used or not wear in the care sector workers and gloves and aprons in the right direction when it comes to liquid contaminated a person they are looking for , All caregivers are advised to have an injection of hepatitis B before taking a job in this field. If left untreated infections can sometimes cause liver problems to death.
Syphilis is easily the most terrible suffering intimate infection because it has no obvious external symptoms and is usually selected until it is available for a while in a person, which is why I recommend the regular sexual health checks for all those active in a relationship. Syphilis can be developed primarily by a virus that is present and if not, then bacteria are treated and transmitted through sexual contact throughout the body. It can also be found in babies born to infected mothers, as the same genes that develop in the uterus can be transmitted. Although this infection is fatal if left untreated, low figures suspected infected by him to be.As always, my advice is through the use of condoms to practice safe sex and regular check-ups have sexual health before you decide to dispose of condoms.
Get tested as soon as you can
Most people who have herpes or do not have very mild symptoms. You may not notice mild symptoms, or they may be confused with other skin conditions such as a pimple or ingrown hairs. For this reason, most people who have herpes do not know.
Within weeks may occur after HIV infection, flu-like fever, symptoms of a sore throat and fatigue. Then, the disease is usually asymptomatic until AIDS. AIDS symptoms include weight loss, fever or night sweats, fatigue and recurrent infections.

Too Faced x Kandee Johnson: Here's Everything You Need to Know About the Collab
No brand has cornered the market on kitschy, cute, and candy-scented quite like Too Faced Cosmetics. Its cult-favorite Chocolate Bar palette smells so convincing a kid once ate it. So it really was only a matter of time before the brand's cofounder and chief creative officer, Jerrod Blandino, teamed up with makeup artist Kandee Johnson.
There's the obvious connection: A collab between the two is rife for great pun potential, and the two have been close friends in the industry for years. But also Johnson's dedication to make makeup fun and accessible falls right in line with the Too Faced ethos—she'd rather teach followers how to use eyeliner than tell them to grab a kitchen knife and trace a razor-sharp line.
Now, after what feels like forever (in reality, it's been since only January that they announced the collab), we've finally got a first look at every single product in the collection. I caught up with Blandino and Johnson in Orlando ahead of the launch, which officially lands at Ulta on September 3, to learn more about the products, their pro tips on how to use them, and swatch the hell out of everything I could get my hands on. (The samples are still so exclusive the brand doesn't even have produced photos of each of the individual products yet.) Take a look at all the new products in the collection, below. As promised, the puns are delicious.
Too Faced I Want Kandee Candy Eyes Palette, $45
Blandino already revealed this in one of his famous "sneaky peeks," but here's what you haven't heard about it yet. The palette is shaped like a vintage chocolate tin, and (shocker) it smells like chocolate. "These are my go-tos that will look good on everybody," Johnson says. "They're easy, not complicated. I'm not teaching you how to do an Easter-egg eye. Most people don't go out wearing that kind of makeup. I wanted for people to be able to go out every day and look pretty."
As for her favorite shades? "My two must-haves are Licorice Rope, because you always need a good black," Johnson says. "Even if you do a liquid liner, putting black shadow over it helps soften the line out and makes it look smoother and more perfected. And then I wanted a good collection of base colors. The Banana Cream Pie base with the yellow tones [far left, at bottom] was important because our eyelids are so thin that anytime you have yellow in an eyeshadow base, it's going to knock the purple and redness out."
Personally, the shimmer shades were my favorite, and this is coming from someone who is usually not crazy about glitter. I'd probably tap them on the center of a neutral eye or smudge them into my lash line.
Too Faced I Want Kandee Candy Glow Highlighter Stick, $30
There's much to love about this highlighter: It's a stick, it glides on, and even though it's the color of cotton candy, it really does look gorgeous on. "I don't like when a highlighter looks like a bronzer on your face," Johnson says. "A lot are almost too golden. This is pretty on light and dark skin tones because it blends easily. It's sparkly but doesn't look crazy."
Too Faced I Want Kandee Melted Matte Liquid Lipsticks, $21 each
The collab comes with a quad of colors, all sold individually. Melted Ice Cream (a pale beige and Johnson's favorite), Freshly Baked (a pinky brown), Sweet and Sour (a red orange), and Tropical Punch (a bright fuchsia).
"I love Melted Ice Cream because you can put it on with lip liner or add it to any of these colors and it becomes a totally new shade," Johnson says. "No matter what I'm wearing, I always dab this color right in the center and on the top. I take my finger and tap it inward—some people just pat and blend out—but if you press and go in, that's what makes your lips look fuller and more rounded." On its own, it's pretty light (and probably works best on very pale skin tones), but it blended pretty easily for that Insta-lip look. Oh, and they all taste like crème brûlée.
Too Faced I Want Kandee Banana Pudding Brightening Powder, $30
You'd think the palette would be the most exciting of the collection, but nope, if there was one thing both Blandino and Johnson couldn't shut up about it was this: a yellow-tinted brightening powder that helps color-correct dark areas, mainly under your eyes.
"You want the part under your eye to look flat in photos," Johnson says. "So when you put the yellow powder underneath, it knocks out those blue and purple tones to make you look more rested and awake. I'd use a sponge or a brush to apply it, but if you're in a rush you can even use your fingers to tap it on—even if your makeup is already done. I always do that right before a photo shoot."
Too Faced I Want Kandee Candy Liner, $18
Meet the answer to your cat-eye problems and difficult-to-pull-off Insta hacks. "This eyeliner is like a tattoo. It doesn't come off," says Johnson. "It has a special applicator with a flat edge, so you can just stick your wing and then fill it in. It's great for beginners." When I (a cat-eye inept) tried it out, it wasn't quite as easy as stamp-and-go, but the line did go on much sharper than if I tried to free hand. True to her word, the formula didn't budge but did come off easily with remover.
So what's worth your money? Honestly, it's all great and on par with everything you love about Too Faced: It smells incredible, the powders are creamy and pigmented, and the liquid lipsticks don't feel like you're wearing chalk. But if I were a betting woman, I'd guess the brightening powder and liner won't be around for long.

City of Shawnee plans to upgrade website this year
February 22, 2017
The city of Shawnee hopes to launch a redesigned website by the end of the year.
The current website design, which was launched in 2009, is text-heavy, pointed out Shawnee communications manager Julie Breithaupt.
City officials want a redesign, which would make the site more user-friendly, colorful and attractive.
They also want a site that is more photo and video friendly.
"Websites of a city are generally the first landing for people looking to move there or businesses looking to open," Breithaupt told the Dispatch. "So, we want a site that immediately shows what Shawnee has to offer. The current site has a lot of good information, but you have to search for it."
At its city council meeting last week, the governing body unanimously approved an implementation contract with CivicLive, a Toronto-based web design firm.
It has designed websites for cities such as Vallejo, Ca., Tacoma, Wa., and Casper, Wy.
The website upgrade will cost the city $100,395 for design and implementation. Annual hosting fees are $17,569.
CivicLive was chosen because it specializes in live social media integration, strong search capabilities, and modern, clean designs.
It also offers interactive calendar, polling, graph, and survey functions.
Breithaupt said the idea of integrating social media on the website is exciting, because more and more residents are accessing city hall via sites like Facebook and Twitter.
In her State of the City Address earlier this month, for instance, Mayor Michelle Distler pointed out that in the past year, the city has gained around 2,500 more Facebook followers and nearly 1,200 more Twitter followers.
Another important function to the city is that the new website will conform to any device a person is using, whether it's a smartphone, tablet or laptop.
During the next year, CivicLive will work with city staff on the redesign, seeking what information and features are most important to Shawnee officials.
It also plans to engage with the public, which is key, because ultimately, the city's website is for them, Breithaupt said.
Public input could be obtained via online surveys, heat maps, and one-on-one interactions.
The redesign process is expected to take around a year, and the goal is to launch the new website by 2018.
"We just want to give residents the information they need right at their fingertips," Breithaupt said. "After all, this website is for them."

More than 40 mobile phones are being stolen EVERY day across Greater Manchester , the M.E.N can reveal.
A total of 14,864 phones – worth hundreds of thousands of pounds – were stolen across the region last year, according to police figures.
Police said the devices were now 'craved' by thieves, and warned of organised groups travelling the country targeting people out enjoying themselves.
The M.E.N can reveal that:
- 102 phones were stolen on a single day earlier this year;
- Saturdays bring a spike in thefts, as people out shopping and partying prove easy targets for thieves;
- Almost half of all thefts in the region take place in Manchester, with 7,182 thefts last year;
- The figures show that nearly 7,800 phones were stolen in the first six months of 2013 – higher than the number taken in the equivalent period in the three previous years.
But the true number of phones stolen may be even higher, as only thefts reported to the police are counted in the figures.
Police said iPhones are the device most commonly reported stolen in the city centre.
Many stolen phones are thought to be exported, where they can sell for hundreds of pounds – more if they contain personal information or banking details.
Sergeant Jon Middleton, from GMP's Protective Services Division, said: "We are aware of an increase in mobile phone thefts through a variety of means and are continuing to work with our partners to combat this type of crime.
"Mobile phones and in particular smartphones are craved by thieves and can be sold in this country or exported for significant gains.
"As well as opportunist thieves snatching phones in the street, there are organised crime groups travelling around the country working together to steal phones from bags and pockets. They target crowded places such as concert venues, nightclubs and bars or even distract their victims in restaurants and cafés before stealing their belongings."
Thieves have developed a number of methods to steal phones, with distraction techniques – where victims are hugged or asked for directions and the phone taken – used alongside pickpocketing and phone-snatching.
Manchester has also had incidents of mass-phone theft, with 10 phones and a camera worth a total of £2,000 stolen from clubbers at Sankey's nightclub earlier this year.
Trainee doctor Vaibhav Sabharwal was convicted of the offence in April this year, and given a 13 month suspended prison sentence and 100 hours of unpaid labour.
The number of phones stolen in 2012 was an increase on the previous year, at 14,864 versus 14,390 in 2011, although down on the 15,208 taken in 2010.
Sgt Middleton warned the public to pay close attention to their phones.
He added: "It may seem simple but treat your phone as you would a large bundle of cash. Never leave it unattended and keep out of sight when in public."
He urged the public to register their devices on immobilise.com, and to install a tracking app to their phone.
See how the data compares by the areas of Greater Manchester
'It was scary because I wasn't expecting it at all'
Carlie Ferns had her top of the range mobile snatched as she walked along Quay Street in the city centre.
Carlie, 21, was sending a text message on her iPhone 5 when two men on bicycles began following her.
One of them pushed her before grabbing the phone from her hands and riding off.
The incident, which took place at around 3.30pm, happened right outside Granada Studios.
A security guard witnessed the incident and tried to locate the offenders, but to no avail.
Carlie, who works in PR, said: "I felt myself being pushed and when I looked the phone had gone.
"It all happened so quick. It was quite scary because I wasn't expecting it all, especially walking through the city centre in the middle of the day."
Carlie, of Mottram Road, Stalybridge , lost the phone and had to claim through her insurance to get a replacement.
She said: "I didn't realise just how much stuff you have on your phone. I feel like my privacy was invaded because whoever took it will have been able to look at all my pictures and read my texts.
"I also had a banking app so I was worried they might have been able to access my account. I'm always looking around me now and mostly keep my phone in my bag.
"I'm even funny about people bumping into me or brushing past my bag as well."
I was shocked. My first reaction was 'no, you're not having it'
Suzy Woods was left badly shaken after having her phone snatched in broad daylight in Manchester city centre.
Suzy, 30, was walking along Liverpool Road in Castlefield at around 6pm on Thursday August 1 when a young boy grabbed the iPhone from her hands and ran off.
Suzy chased after the culprit, believed to be around 15 years old, and alerted passers-by who managed to block his path as he ran down a side street.
After being challenged he threw the phone away and ran off, though it was reported to police.
Suzy said: "I was really shaken afterwards.
"I was just so shocked at how brazen it was. My first reaction was 'no, you're not having it' and I chased after him.
"When he was stopped by some people ahead of me he had two phones in his hand which would suggest he done it before.
"I was lucky that I got my phone back but it was a really scary experience."
Suzy, who works for an events firm, said she is much more cautious about having her phone on display when out and about.
She said: "I'm much more aware now.
"I am a lot more jumpy and if I am using it in public and someone gets too close I put it away immediately.
"But you hear about it happening so often I tend to just keep it my handbag.
"It's ridiculous that I have to do that but it's the only way I can feel secure about it."

The Beaufort Pony Club sent no less than 27 athletes to contest the Curre PC Tri in Monmouth. This event is always popular with it's friendly atmosphere and being within about an hour's travel from home.
We initially hoped to field two Frogs teams but after several were felled with illness we amalgamated those that remained and they put up a great show to take Team 2nd. Hector AL took Best Boys Beanbag (920) and Ind 1st. Arabella P took Best Girls Beanbag for Ind 2nd. They were joined by Rose W and Edward C. Edward won the 5th rosette which was great as he has only just joined the PC and this was his first competition.
The children were delighted to receive their prizes from Show Jumping legend, David Broome. The parents were pretty excited too as they were the right vintage to fully appreciate the presence of this amazing man!
In the Tadpole class we were able to field one boys team and two girls teams which is great news for the future of the sport in our club.
Jemima P recorded a resounding victory individually and won Best Run. Along with team mates Amelie L (6th and Best Shoot), Isobel C and Skye W, they won 2nd prize in the team event.
The Tadpole boys also did very well with Miles H taking Ind 2nd and Best Shoot and Laurie AL Ind 3rd. Along with team mates Archie L and Charlie W, their team was just behind the girls in 3rd.
Well done also to Holly R, Tabitha D and Annabelle HJ who put in some great scores.
In the Mini Class, our four boys took home 5th team prize. Orlo C shot outstandingly well (960) for 4th place and Xavier A was just behind in 6th. Harry S and new recruit, Jack R completed this successful quartet.
In the Junior Class our boys performed really well and took team honours by some distance. Individual positions as follows: Will C (1st with Best Shoot & Run), Charles H 3rd, Joseph P 4th and George H 5th. Well done to George who had to give it everything after an exhausting XC race the day before and to Joseph who was competing in his first Junior level Triathlon.
The Junior Girls team of Millie S, Belle E and Alice E won 6th rosette in the team event. Millie also scored Best Shoot with 880. Well done girls.
Finally the Senior event, where our sole competitor, Tom C managed to win in a small class of just two boys. However the outing provided valuable training as he was competing at this level for the first time. A punishing 4 minute swim and 3k run certainly got the heart pounding.
Well done everyone for supporting this lovely Welsh event. So many results to be proud of!

17 Insider Things to Know About IKEA (from Employees Who've Worked There)
Have you ever wondered what it's like to work at IKEA? With stores that resemble mazes and tons of products everywhere you turn, it's sure to be just as much of an experience working there as it is shopping there. And of course, those who do work there just may be able to give us IKEA civilians a little helpful shopping advice. Luckily, there are several Reddit AMA threads where IKEA employees answered some burning questions, so we've rounded up the most useful (or intriguingly offbeat) info from them.
It's important to note that some of the Reddit threads these are culled from are a few years old, so some of the information might not still be 100% accurate or actionable now—be sure to double check online or with your IKEA store.
(Oh, and if you're wondering how much of a discount employees get, all of the employees in these Reddit threads explained that it's 15 percent).
You can get major discounts on past showroom items.
"[You can't get them] for free, but those products will make their way down to the as-is area when the room settings, as they are called, are due for a makeover (timeline decided by service offices) and they will be discounted for 30-80 percent off." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
You can negotiate prices on as-is items.
"Manager or not, only employees of the AsIs department can give you further discounts. And yes, if you see something you would like, just approach someone at the window and ask them to lower the price, in most cases they will be able to do that." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
To get the best as-is deals, go at certain times of the year.
"During and right after both summer and winter sale, as well as the weeks around April 1st and August 1st." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
IKEA definitely has loss leaders.
"We do make most of our profit on smaller metal parts that are needed for larger combinations. Although a lot of it is off set by losses in other products. Believe or not we have entire product lines where the profit margin is between -20% and -60%, yes, we do lose money on sales." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
There's a reason the kitchen splashbacks are more expensive.
"[The kitchen splashbacks] are the only products in the entire store that are custom made by a third party factory, everything else is mass produced so the price difference can be quite big." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
They don't actually make money on food.
"We do not make any money on the meatballs, or any food at all for that matter. In fact the entire restaurant is a huge write off." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
Some stores get to try out new products first.
"There are certain test stores in each region, Stockholm and Helsingborg in Sweden, one or two in Germany, Delft in the Netherlands, Burbank, CA and one in Asia as well." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
They take cleaning—especially the play area—very seriously.
"The entire store is cleaned overnight, every night. The same goes for the kids play area. If no accident in particular happened, we disinfect the ball pit once a week and wash all balls, etc. It has happened on numerous occasions that kids puked, pooped or peed in the ball pit. That is a just cause for an emergency biohazard evacuation and immediate cleaning. We take the cleanliness of the play area very seriously!" — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
You might find foreign language books in stores.
"They actually ship [the books] to us from Sweden, and we get them free from the publisher. If you pay attention, sometimes books in Norwegian will sneak their way in." — throwawayIKEAthrowaway
You might be able to get replacements for old products.
"If you know the name of it then you can either call the call center (phone on the IKEA website) or go in-store and IKEA employees can pull up the assembly instructions. If it's a part we can order then of course! It ships from Sweden and usually takes about 5-10 business days to get to you." — hodydody
Shipping is different depending on how you order.
"Ordering online is different from ordering in store. When you're actually in the store, you grab all your items and it comes from the store you're in. Online it comes from a warehouse (usually Tahoe) so shipping is more expensive because of shipping and handling. Also IKEA doesn't ship lights or lamps in fear they might get damaged." — hodydody
The walls are movable in case of emergencies.
"Except the exterior walls, all of the walls of the sales floor (affectionately, "the maze") are modular and movable, and every department has an emergency exit slot since every department at one point or another touches an exterior wall. We're all trained that as soon as we get the fire alert, to open the walls and call out to customers where the exits are, as well as the overhead signs by federal law that say we need to mark where emergency exits are." — NickNac113
There are shortcuts to getting through the maze.
"There actually are shortcuts the to get through the store faster but in some stores, it changes month to month. If you see a blue 3' x 3' rectangle in a random place, it's most likely a cut-through to the next department. All depends on where you are and what store you're in." — NickNac113
Carpeting is the key to easier assembly.
"One big trick though is to build it on carpet. It shows that in the directions but in all honesty it helps. All of our powered build tables have carpeting stapled to them." — NickNac113
Lunch for employees is super cheap.
"I hardly ever bring in lunch. We have a co-worker discount on food in the restaurant and bistro. $3 for an entree under $5.99, a side, bread choice, and drink with 1 refill included. $4 for entrees over $5.99." — thaiangel9008
Loofahs are the one thing you shouldn't buy from IKEA.
"Loofahs!! (The bath sponges). Don't do it! Worst ever!!" — thaiangel9008
You can return just about everything but bedding.
"...IKEA is pretty lax on their return policy as it is. The only the thing that they absolutely do not take back is bedding. None whatsoever." — thaiangel9008

I'm after some wheelset advice - I'm currently riding a 2014 Kona Rove ST (http://2014.konaworld.com/rove.cfm) as my day-to-day commuter, 25kms one way - mix of gravel, bike path and road. While it handles the gravel and bike path with graceful aplomb as expected, it's more than a little sluggish on the road, particularly climbs. I'm therefore looking at upgrading the wheelset - while not breaking the bank.
Current tyres are Freedom Ryder 35s - which I'll swap out for some Conti Gatorskin 32s
Current wheelset is Alex CXD7 - hard to find much info on this, but one poster (http://forums.mtbr.com/cyclocross/alexr ... 15187.html) has mentioned they tip well over the 2kg mark (for the whole wheelset).
As far as I can tell, the Rove needs quick release, 6 bolt, disc, SRAM-compatible wheels (10 speed).
I'm looking at something along the lines of Mavic Aksium's https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mavic-Aksiu ... SwlMFZNXeS or these Fulcrum's - https://www.probikekit.com.au/bicycle-w ... 34077.html
Can someone tell me a) if I've got the right spec'd wheel and b) whether I'll see a weight and performance improvement compared with the Alex rims on currently?

The type of disc brake mounting (6-bolt or centrelock) doesn't really matter unless you have multiple wheelsets and want to be able to have fewer spare brake rotors on hand. If you are replacing your existing wheelset entirely, then you are free to choose whether you want to use 6-bolt or centrelock.

Freedom House, 2017

Internet freedom has declined for the sixth consecutive year, with more governments than ever before targeting social media and communication apps as a means of halting the rapid dissemination of information, particularly during anti-government protests. Popular social media sites like Facebook and Twitter have been subject to growing censorship for several years, but governments are now increasingly going after messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram.

An automated analytical system providing advanced fraud monitoring and risk management capable of substantially reducing the losses associated with fraudulent activities.
Regardless of new standards, mandates and procedures set to combat card fraud, it will always be an inherent part of the electronic payments business. Whilst some types of fraud may be declining, fraudsters are becoming more experienced and are devising ever more "inventive" ways to compromise the system, causing the overall fraud rates to rise at an alarming rate, with losses running well into billions of US dollars. Financial institutions therefore must engage is in continuous monitoring and take more proactive measures in the fight against fraud, especially as criminals target unprotected organisations.
TranzWare Fraud Analyzer is scrupulously designed to stringently monitor fraud, to address the issues of fraud detection and prevention as well as to ensure proactive fraud management by providing a host of tools enabling our customers to stay ahead of criminal manipulation.
TranzWare Fraud Analyzer performs the analysis of data uploaded into the TranzWare Data Warehouse subsystem and provides a set of tools for the automatic detection of potential fraudulent actions at the time the transaction data enters data storage (in online and quasi-online mode) based on predetermined rules. The analysis can be performed for both issuers and acquirers, for On-Us and Not-On-Us transactions, clearing data presented by payment networks and can cover the entire transaction lifecycle. The fraud detection system can operate in multi-institution mode efficiently and effectively protecting small as well as large financial institutions.
At its core, TranzWare Fraud Analyzer has customer-defined business rules that follow business as opposed to programming logic. Customers can enjoy an extensive set of tools that allows them to customise the system according to the types of fraud specific to their market, to their business needs and other preferences, and includes: designing of user-defined algorithms, business rules, documents, etc. - all of which use an in-built comprehensive GUI. Additionally the system has built-in advanced reporting facilities.
TranzWare Fraud Analyzer employs two methods of analysis: object activity analysis (cards, accounts, merchants, branch tellers) and transaction flow analysis (attributes, sequences, patterns). As such the system utilises two types of user-defined rules that can be created using SQL Markup Language or advanced object-oriented facilities for algorithmic schemes' graphical editing (respective of the two types of analysis).
TranzWare Fraud Analyzer not only automatically and effectively monitors and detects suspicious operations, it also has an advanced system of alerts and can be set to automatically act in their response, whereby it triggers a particular action, for example: blocks a card, reduces card limit (determined by an algorithm) or starts a case investigation (managed by dispute managers); it also advises on actions to be taken and documents all the procedures. The case investigation mechanism is based on TranzWare Case Manager that allows the definition of case investigation rules, timetables and specific case actions, facilitates job divisions, organises document workflow, etc. In addition to the management of case investigations Fraud Analyzer has dispute management facilities. TranzWare Fraud Analyzer has been successfully certified by Visa International meeting the criteria for compliance with the CEMEA Acquirer and Issuer Monitoring Standards.

Sample Datasheet
Info Request
Product Description
Rat Neuropilin-2 ELISA Kit - 1 Kit (96 Wells)Our Rat Neuropilin-2 ELISA Kit is a sandwich ELISA intended for the quantitative determination of rat Neuropilin-2 in cell culture supernates, cell lysates and tissue homogenates.
NRP2(Neuropilin-2), also called Npn2 or VEGF165R2, encodes a member of the neuropilin family of receptor proteins. The soluble NRP2 was secreted as a 62.5-kD protein following transfection in Chinese hamster ovary cells. The NRP2 gene is mapped to 2q33.3. The NRP2 gene contains 17 exons and spans about 112 kb. This protein may play a role in cardiovascular development, axon guidance, and tumorigenesis. Mice with null mutations in genes encoding Sema3F, and its holoreceptor components Npn2 and plexin A3 (PLEXA3), exhibit increased dentate gyrus granule cell and cortical layer V pyramidal neuron spine number and size, and also aberrant spine distribution. Moreover, Sema3F promotes loss of spines and excitatory synapses in dissociated neurons in vitro, and in NRP2-null brain slices cortical layer V and dentate gyrus granule cells exhibit increased miniature excitatory postsynaptic current frequency. These disparate effects of secreted semaphorins are reflected in the restricted dendritic localization of NRP2 to apical dendrites and of Npn1 to all dendrites of cortical pyramidal neurons.

16th January 2016
Exactly at 9.33am, my train to Sentral Kuala Lumpur departured from Tapah Road Station. After around 4 months since I hangout with my dearest friend, Fadhil Bakrie, we came to an agreement to meet today. Since I didn't get enough sleep, I sleep throughout the whole journey from Tapah to Kuala Lumpur.
As soon as I arrived at Sentral Kuala Lumpur, I went to purchase a ticket to Putrajaya Sentral as we agreed to meet there. He was going to pick me up there that day. After arriving to Putrajaya Sentral , I waited at the waiting are until he called me. Then right after he came to pick me up, we shoot our way to the IOI City Mall.
The actual plan was to go to Alamanda Putrajaya first before going to IOI City Mall but I've decided not to waste my time thus I told him to just go to IOI instead of the first mentioned.
Upon arriving at the mall, my tummy growled. I told Fadhil that I wanted to try the 'famous' Boat Noodle Restaurant. While making our way to the restaurant, we kinda talked about my journey from my college to Sentral Kuala Lumpur.
We sat down at the table given and started to skim through the menu. I was in puzzle, why do I have to eat a lot of bowls of noodles? Why can't I just order one and eat? Fadhil then told me that the quantity of the noodle in a bowl is so little that you're not gonna be satisfy with eating only one bowl.
After our lunch, we went outside of the mall. I was so eager to take some photos so that I can upload it on my blog. I managed to snap a few decent pictures.
Just after that, we went to Sangkaya to eat their famous signature Coconut Ice cream. I order the Cha-Yen Signature Ice cream while Fadhil ordered the coconut one. Basically, Cha-Yen Ice Cream is a tea-flavoured ice cream which is totally my favourite.
Just look at Fadhil, enjoying his ice cream.
The weather that day was undoubtedly sunny but as the time pass by, rain started to drop that evening. Both of us were so tired that evening so we stroll around the outside of the mall. We managed to find a spot for us to lay down and rest for a while. While we were laying down on the fake grass, we talked about our favourites which mainly revolves around music, hobbies and life.
Fadhil is a student who's currently pursuing Engineering in UniKL in Gombak. He told me about all the science part of Engineering and I managed to annoy him about all the geeky stuff in Accounting.
We went into H&M. This was his first time being my victim of trying all the clothes. I literally took a lot of clothes ranging from shirts to sweatshirts. He sighed and smiled. Despite that, I did gave him a free lesson on finding clothes for him.
|Just before this picture, he was covering his face because he was shy.
|Fadhil was playing my phone while I was busy snapping photos of him
We went into some other clothing stores but I didn't have any interest on their clothes. Fadhil told me that he was searching for a sleeveless hoodie thus we went into Cotton On. I found a few sleeveless hoodie which I thought looks good on him but apparently 'S' size is too big for him.
|" I am confident wearing any sleeveless clothes "
What do you think of him in the sleeveless hoodie?
Before we went back, I went into Uniqlo to buy a basic tee. He was trying different kinds of shirts but none of them fits him because the size was big for him. Just before we went out from the fitting room, I pull him into the room and we took a mirror selfie. So typical of me.

A lot got done today. I wish I could say it was all done by me...
We had our new bathrub installed and it's gorgeous. The old one was in pretty sad shape. The finish was cracked and rust was showing through. It had a couple of nicks in the porcelain coating. The new one is shiny and very, very white and just lovely.
The phone got fixed. We've been having static on the line and hearing a radio [apparently this is a common problem in the area]. So Verizon stopped by and shielded the line.
The kitchen sink sprouted a leak a few days ago and the plumber came by and replaced all the pipes under the sink for a fairly reasonable price.
I'm glad I could keep so many people busy today.
Oh...I did manage to finish the galley edits for the PRINT version of The Matchmakers[April 2010!] AND I knocked out the first draft of the first chapter of my new WIP. So it wasn't just other people that accomplished today. I did some stuff too. I wish every Friday could be this productive.

It's like you've got a whole new house!
I'm amazed you got anything done with all those worker bees in your place. Bravo!
- Bernadette Gardner and Jennifer Colgan said...
LOL - I LOVE having the house filled with men...working.
Now we just need to deal with the boy's bedroom, which looks like a small war broke out. After that, the house will almost be all new.

When you do the boy's room quickly take a picture, because it won't last, lol.

Well it was as expected mostly with one twist... I have a standing order to have my lab work done weekly if I feel I need it. I like that....
Went from 20 to 17.5 and my crp went down even with a bout of plantar fasciitis.
Since I am having kidney issues he really wants me off prednisone asap.
Well so do I. The weekly lab does give me some comfort. But being told to get a kidney ultra sound because those labs say I am stage 3 kidney failure did undo me a bit. no one has told me what that entails or means. I will know more this week or next.
I told my friends if one more thing happens I will throw myself off my balcony. They sai "oh no you don't because it won't kill you just break bones and then we would have to take care of you." They always know how to make me laugh.
I feel so blessed as there is a group of 9 ladies and we do take care of each other it is really wonderful. Living in a community like this is so nice because there is always someone looking to plays a game or cards. Never bored here for sure.
So finally I actually feel pretty good. Still get the niggling of head ache in the same right side and my shoulders feel arthritic....
oh my new cardiologist said my heart is great.... she wanted to know why I was sent to her. I told her my GP freaked out with my ER visit and we both laughed.
So one part is back to normal.
This week I am on 15 plus 1/2 of a 2.5 which is 16 something
Merry Christmas to all you wonderful forum friends.
God bless

Fans of former rock band KIX got a rare treat Friday night as two members of the locally based band joined Steve Whiteman, the band's former lead singer, on stage at The Maryland Theatre.
Whiteman, of Hagerstown, who was performing with his current band, Funny Money, said the show is as close as people will get to a reunion of KIX since one of the former members will no longer perform with him.
Funny Money normally performs about 50 percent songs written by Funny Money and 50 percent KIX songs, he said.
Funny Money was already booked to open for raunchy morning-show radio DJ Doug "Greaseman" Tracht at the theater when Whiteman suggested having KIX drummer Jimmy Chalfant and guitarist Ronnie Younkins join them on stage.
