Having problems with your Nikon COOLPIX S60 Digital Camera ?
I dont know how to put the pictures on my computer! O_O
\015 OK! I have taken many AWESOME pictures with my nikon coolpix s60. BUT I have no clue hot to put them on the computer, It came with a cord that looks like it could import them, But in the little socket thingy...IT DOSNT FIT! Its to small and has the wrong sides! IS there another place to put it? Is there a special way? PLEASE HELP ME!!!\015
Answers :
Ok, calm down a bit.
The cord usually has 2 parts on it, a small part (used to connect to the camera) and the larger part (used to connect to your computer).
What your looking for on your computer is called USB port, its rectangular.
On your camera they usually have a plastic plug over it, read your manual and look where the port is. Usually its on the side or bottom of the camera.
When all is found connect them and plug it in your computer. It should take a couple seconds to a few minutes for your computer to recognize it. Then go to My Computer > New Drive (example F: (Nikon) or something simular)
SD/HC card
You will need a SD or SDHC card, this is usally inserted by the side. This card is much more efficent then the usb cable and is much faster to use. And you will need a card reader, usually they are built in your computers now, or you can buy one, usually cost range from 10-20usd. Like the usb it will take a couple seconds/minute but its quick pop in and out unlike the usb.

Patty A. Bowen
Business Studies, 1998
"HACC is an educational institution for all ages and all generations. It has been part of our community since 1964 and first touched me through my aunt, Jean Hintermyer, a 1969 HACC graduate. HACC's faculty members are part of our community and the real-world work experience brought to the classroom through our adjunct faculty is exceptional."
As a young teenager and only child, Patty Bowen lost both of her parents. Although she finished high school, she worked for years in dead-end jobs. She knew her parents would have wanted more for her in life, so in 1991, she registered at HACC, attending as a non-traditional student. Nearly eight years later, Bowen graduated with distinction, earning an associate degree. Since then, she completed a bachelor's degree in applied behavioral science and a master's degree in adult training and development, both from Penn State University.
While attending classes, Bowen worked her way up the corporate ladder at UPS—from a dispatch assistant to an account executive, earning an international sales growth award, to a sales training supervisor. In 2006, Bowen joined the Pennsylvania Workforce Investment Board (WIB) as director of sector initiatives. While at WIB, she was named a Marano Fellow of the Sector Skills Academy, which provides emerging leaders with experiential learning projects to improve economic opportunities for low-income individuals.
Before joining HACC as coordinator of professional development in 2011, Bowen worked as director of career services for ITT Technical Institute and sales and marketing director of Emeritus Senior Living, both in Harrisburg. She is also an adjunct faculty member of Eastern University's Campolo College of Graduate and Professional Studies. Bowen's community outreach is extensive. As a member of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC, she has been named Diplomat of the Year, the first person to receive that recognition for three consecutive years. Bowen serves on the board of Harrisburg Business Women, volunteers for Junior Achievement of South Central Pennsylvania, is a member of the Career Partnership Development Committee of the Capital Area Intermediate Unit and the National Association of Professional Women and serves as first vice president for the Tri-County Council of the American Legion Auxiliary.

The constant technological change occurring places a requirement on those employed in it to maintain, and where necessary, update and improve their skills.
Additionally the National Training Board under its policies and guidelines is encouraging competency-based training and incorporates principles of up skilling and broad skilling. These actions are aimed at producing a better-trained workforce.
Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia (RIMPA) believes it is vital that Professional Members remain current in the dynamic field of records management. This goes beyond initial qualification and implies a system of Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
CPD is defined as:
"The systematic maintenance, improvement and broadening of knowledge and skill, and the development of personal qualities necessary for the competent execution of professional and technical duties throughout a professional's working life".
The CPD program has been established by RIMPA to ensure Professional Members:
- Maintain professional competence;
- Update existing knowledge and skills
- Attain new or additional knowledge and skills.
The CPD Scheme operates annually beginning on April 1 with input through a Log Schedule compiled by Professional Members and lodged on an annual basis.
Acceptable CPD includes:
- A – Records and Information Management
- B – Non Records and Information Management
What is CPD?
CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development, although the 'P' could equally stand for 'Personal' or 'Performance', depending on how you interpret and apply your learning and development. CPD is about planned self-development which embraces both personal and professional aims, and, in many cases, is intended to impact on performance.
A personal development plan, or learning log results from establishing what you want to achieve or where you want to go, in the short- or long-term, and identifying the need for enhanced skills, knowledge or competence. Planning might consist of:
- Short-term targets – to achieve specific goals to improve skills
- Mid-term planning – to set the short-term in a development framework towards an improved or new capability, level or job, or to create a desired impact in the workplace
- Long-term – to think about how best to achieve satisfaction, as well as career progression.
Why is CPD so important?
Managers can no longer rely on their initial training or qualifications to carry them through employment, or on their employer to provide everything they need to develop skills and experience – the old security, if it ever existed, has gone. Increasingly managers are taking responsibility for their own lifelong, continuing development – the bottom-line is that it is down to the individual. The new security consists of loyalty to oneself, to one's own skills and career progression. This is maximised when individual development needs and goals are aligned with those of the employing organisation.
CPD is a hallmark of professionalism – one of the keys to employability.
What are the benefits of the Association's scheme?
The CPD scheme is only available to Association members. As a member it:
- Offers you a Personal Development Profile (CPD Profile) to record all aspects of your learning and development
- Enables you to discover new learning opportunities
- Provides recognition of learning and development outcomes through the award of a CPD Certificate
- Recognises the results of significant CPD activity with the potential to become a Certified Member.
Who is the CPD scheme aimed at?
The CPD scheme is structured to accommodate four types of users:
- Those professional Member and Fellows who are required to maintain their CPD to retain their level of accreditation.
- Those members actively engaged in CPD to assist in their learning and development and to record it in their own confidential account.
- Those members who wish to gain recognition for their CPD with the award of a CPD Certificate.
- Those members who wish to work towards the award of Certified Professional Member of the RIM Professionals Australasia.
CPD Certificate
The Records and Information Management Professionals Australasia now awards a CPD Certificate to those who have engaged with the Association's CPD scheme, and have met certain assessment requirements.
As an Association member you can make a request to be formally assessed for the award of a CPD Certificate. An assessor will view your CPD Submission and Evidence and make a judgement on the extent to which the records meet the assessment requirements.
You will receive feedback from the assessment, explaining any further action that may be necessary, or confirming that a CPD Certificate has been awarded.
Benefits of the CPD Certificate
The RIMPA CPD Certificate is a certificate of professional management credibility, demonstrating:
- Continuing learning and development
- Development of management knowledge and skills
- Commitment to the improvement of information management practice.
How does the CPD Certificate work?
You are awarded a CPD Certificate when you have satisfactorily demonstrated to the Assessor that you:
- Have completed the CPD Submission reporting what you set out to learn and why, what you learned, how you applied this learning in the workplace, and what you intend to do next to develop as a manager.
- Have developed as a manager in at least one of the six areas of the Chartered Manager Skills.
- Provided evidence that this learning and development has taken place.
The CPD Certificate is valid for three years.
You can submit a CPD return via the form below, or your CPD can now be accessed, updated and managed online through your members log-in in the members only site.
Certified Professional Member
The Association is working to establish the award of Certified member as a hallmark of current competence and professionalism. It will enable employers to identify managers who demonstrate current learning and development, and positive impact in the workplace. No other award can claim this.
Benefits of Certified Member
A Certified member demonstrates ability and professionalism across the full range of information management skills through continuing self development and positive impact in the workplace.
The award of Certified member provides information professionals, and their employers, with independent confirmation of their information management skills and the positive impact they are having in the workplace.
Certified Member brings:
- An independent benchmark of your quality as a information management professional
- Improved reputation and credibility with colleagues and external partners
- Enhanced prospects for career progression
- Increased confidence in your information management skills and leadership abilities in the workplace
- Validation of the currency of your skills
- Accreditation of your ability to create significant impact on organisational performance

Julie Fei-Fan Balzer at eclectic Paperie in Exeter, NH. She brought her mom along to keep us all in line! I first met Julie 2 yrs ago in a couple of live classes, so I knew what to expect, and was not disappointed with all I learned. The first class was about elements and principles of design to improve your ability to see the components of a good design and also to understand why it works. I love having that understanding and then to look at my work critically and see what I can do to make it better and more complete.
These are my collages from that day:
The second class the next day was a fun folded book structure that we made after spending the day creating layered background pages and custom tape with spray ink and paint, stencils, stamps and any other mark making tools you could dip into paint.
...and the opposite side has a bottom fold that creates pockets:
I also took a project with me that is the end product of Julie's current online class making her Junque Journal. This is the cover:

Active learning ideas for CGT 512
I am fully behind the theory of active learning, but I struggle with putting it in practice. It takes a lot of creativity to engineer situations that stimulate active learning, and I am not entirely trained – I don't know the toolbox. But I try.
I'm pretty proud of what we did in my HCI graduate course tonight, and I don't want to forget it, so here we go:
Discussion on GUI history ended with question about where future interface paradigms are headed. We experimented with tangible computing. I gave each group some items (toys, boxes, trinkets) to use as starting points for designing a communication system that uses those items for interaction.
The students had read 4 articles on various types and aspects of HCI design (UCD, participatory/value sensitive, critical, and a comparison article). We started by ranking the reading is terms of: ease of understanding and favorites. This gave me a feel for what reading(s) were harder to understand. I asked question to tease out the essence of each article and then each team got post-its of 2 different colors. On one color they had to list activities the authors undertook as part of the design process, and on the other, concepts that were new to them. One item per post-it.
I then asked 2 groups to combine their activities on one board and their concepts on another, and then organize them into categories and name each category. We heard brief presentations of the categories on each board, and I interjected points meant to link everything together.
Ended class with some questions meant to integrate the material and 2 minutes of reflection for students to note down their take-aways.
Website Experience Analysis
This post explains an alternative research protocol, website experience analysis (WEA).
Website experience analysis is a research protocol (set of procedures) that can help researchers identify what specific interface elements users associate with particular interpretations.
WEA focuses on the messages that users take-away from their experience with the interface.
All interfaces try to communicate something, such as:
- you should trust this application with your credit card data
- you should come study for a MS degree in CGT at Purdue
- etc.
WEA allows you to find out:
- whether the interface actually communicates this message – do people actually take away the message that you intended, and to what extent?
- what specific elements of the interface users associate with those particular messages (trust, CGT is a good program, etc.)
The WEA questionnaire is based on prominence-interpretation theory. It works with pairs of items that ask:
- Ratings of user perceptions (e.g. trust – on a scale of 1-10)
- Open-ended: what about the interface makes the user feel this way?
WEA is based on a much more complex theoretical framework of the website experience. The framework breaks the website experience down into two major dimensions: time and space. WEA then explains the phases of the experience as they unfold across time, and the elements of the website space (elements are categorized according to element functions). The theoretical framework is likely only valid for websites, because the experience with another type of interface, even though it may have the same three main temporal phases (first impression, engagement, exit) will likely differ in terms of the steps within those phases and the nature of the spatial elements and their functions.
WEA is different from a regular questionnaire because it connects perceptions with specific interface elements. Questionnaires will tell you whether the user trusts the product, but they won't provide specific feedback as to what particular elements may account for that perception.
WEA is modular, which means that a different battery of items can be used, depending on the focus of the research. I used WEA in 2 contexts:
- To evaluate the experience of visiting organizational websites. Here, I used the 5 dimensions of good relationships between organizations and their publics: trust, commitment, investment, dialog, etc.
- To evaluate whether emergency preparedness websites persuade users to take emergency preparedness actions. Here I used a battery of items derived from a theory of fear appeals (EPPM) and assessed whether users perceived there is a threat, believe they can do something about it, believe the recommended actions would be effective, etc.
I think WEA would provide excellent feedback about how prospective students perceive the CGT department, based on their experience with the website. It would be very valuable to find out exactly what about the website makes them feel that:
- they would benefit from a CGT MS
- they would fit in
- they would have a good educational experience
- etc. – we have to determine the relevant set of items. Ideally, we would have a theory to guide item development.
WEA can be used with other research questions, such as: How do HR managers look at job candidates' online information? (hello, Jack!)
WEA can be improved upon to better tap into emotional aspects of the user experience. It can be modified to be a more inductive approach, that elicits emotions and interpretations from users rather than asking about specific interpretations (such as trust, etc.) – thank you, Emma, for these suggestions!
If you would like to read more about WEA, you can find the relevant citations in Google Scholar. I can provide copies of the papers if you don't have access to them.
Natural user interfaces, movement, and emotion (Google Talk)
A Purdue ENE student posted this video on Facebook, and after watching, I had to curate it here. The idea is so simple, and so brilliant – after seeing the video, all I can say is "duh! – it makes perfect sense!"
Here's the brief summary:
- we have the technology to interface with computers using movement – aka Natural User Interfaces (NUI) – like Xbox Kinect.
- movement of the body is related to emotion – something yogis have known for a long time, and modern research is confirming. For example, an open, expansive, body posture will make you feel happy and powerful (see, for example, this research study). Also, body posture and movement have social implications – for example, moving in sync creates liking & trust.
- Therefore, we should create interfaces that invite open, expansive, fluid body movements, in order to increase positive affect (put people in a good mood).
- Possible applications: Gmail TaiChi – Using TaiChi movements to sort through your Inbox in the morning; OR: A serious game for learning math that requires open, expansive movement is likely to reduce math anxiety.
- DUH! Brilliant!
Watch Katherine Isbister's Google Talk to grasp the details of this argument, and to see applications and interesting research projects:

Case Studies
Why do Trusted Employees Steal?
By: Greg Taylor / Vice President
Corporate Audit Partners
What makes an employee embezzle funds from an employer? Why are some employees overcome by the temptation to steal and others are not? Every time an employee is caught misappropriating assets, employers ask these same questions. "How could John or Jane steal from our company? I went to his wedding. We went on fishing trips together. I loaned her my car for a week."
Employees have stolen money from employers from the beginning of time. During the early 1900's the psychologists of the day, Freud, Skinner, Sutherland, and later Cressey, studied employee defalcation and embezzlement, theorizing on crime causation. In the 1940's Cressey, one of Sutherland's star students was working on his PhD formed his dissertation around the causation of embezzlement. His work was published as "Other People's Money: A Study in the Social Psychology of Embezzlement". Cressey coined the phrase "trust violators" in his research papers and books as a term for embezzlers. He summarized his final theories as follows:
"Trusted persons become trust violators when they conceive of themselves as having a financial problem which is non-sharable, are aware this problem can be secretly resolved by violation of the position of financial trust, and are able to apply to their own conduct in that situation, verbalization which enables them to adjust their conceptions of themselves as trusted persons with their conceptions of themselves as users of the entrusted funds or property."
In non-technical terms, Cressey was saying embezzlers have some type of perceived financial problem they feel has to be dealt with secretly and they have the means, motive, and rationalization to fix the problem by embezzling.
What are non-sharable financial problems? They are problems that are unique and overwhelming to the embezzler. These types of problems can be categorized as the four "D's". They are Debts and gambling, Divorce or infidelity, Drugs or alcohol abuse, or Disgruntlement or anger related to their job or status at the company. While employees within every company have similar problems such as divorce or debts, most employees resolve these problems without resorting to embezzling.
The process of embezzlement can be thought of as a three-legged chair. Those three factors, non-sharable problem, perceived opportunity, and rationalization must exist before embezzlement can occur.
Taking an example of theft through expense-report abuse, an employee enters a twenty dollars lunch on the expense report when no meal was actually purchased.
The first you can perceive from this act is a financial problem. Perhaps the employee needs the extra twenty dollars to cover a personal expense such as part of a car payment. The second is rationalization. "The employee reasons, "They aren't paying me enough money. I know so-and-so did it too. I had to wait an extra hour on a plane last week and I should be compensated for my time. I missed my son's ball game to go on this sales call." The third leg of the chair is opportunity. The employee knows that the $20.00 is not going to be audited because the company policy of requiring expense receipts starts at $25.00. This is the opportunity; no one will check. If this employee adds an extra $20.00 to their expense report three times each week, for each of the thirty weeks of travel per year, they would supplement their salary by $1,800.00.
How do you, as an employer, prevent embezzlement? At least one leg of the three-legged fraud chair must be cut off.
The first step must be an open door policy. Employees must be made to feel that they can come to the employer with financial problems without feeling they are being judged. Similarly, there needs to be an internal process for employees to air their grievances.
The second step is preventing rationalization. Honesty and ethics flow down from the top of any company. If the executives of the company are cooking the books, making shady deals, or abusing the internal processes and controls, these actions tell other employees that it is okay to steal. A company in mid-America was recently indicted on fraud and embezzlement charges. In a brief to the courts, the attorney general said that fraud and embezzlement were seen as the normal course of business at the company. Not one, not two, but three large cases of defalcation were identified at the company.
An invaluable component of preventing rationalization is adding an employee tip line. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, anonymous employee tip lines are the number one identifier of embezzlement and fraud within a company. Tips contribute to over 40% of fraud and embezzlement detection. Internal audits and accidents are a distant second and third in detecting defalcation. The setting up of a tip line also signifies that the employer does not tolerate dishonesty and is actively seeking to prevent it.
Lastly, but most importantly is preventing the opportunity. The "opportunity" component of the three-legged chair is the most important and the easiest to control. An employee may have the non-shareable problem and rationalize the theft, but is prevented to commit fraud by the lack of opportunity. Employees must not be given the opportunity to embezzle.
Internal controls should be set up at all risk points in the financial process such as segregation of duties, forcing vacations, modifying process flows, cross training and the auditing of transactions. The perception of auditing is almost as important as the auditing itself. Once an employee believes that transactions are being audited on a regular basis, he or she is less likely to commit fraud. Alone, changing the T&E receipt requirement from $25 to $15 without auditing would be deterrent. However, modifying the reimbursement receipt policy, along with auditing the policy can be invaluable in preventing most embezzlement and abuse.

According to Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer rookie running back, Dalvin Cook, suffered a torn ACL and will be sidelined for the rest of the season.
He suffered the non-contact injury in the third quarter against the Detroit Lions on a run play up the middle of the field. As he attempted to make a cut to the right, his left knee gave out, and he immediately reached for it, fumbling the ball.
After only four games, Dalvin Cook ranks as the league's third-leading rusher with 354 yards and two touchdowns.
Latavius Murray, who has been backing up Cook should be next in line to take over as running back moving forward.

Gagan Narang who won the first medal for India at Olympics on Monday had less time to celebrate as he was focusing on 50M Air Rifle Prone which is slated to begin today. He was working hard on healing the injury after winning the bronze medal on Monday.
"Gagan pulled a neck muscle, I think during the 10m air rifle final. He didn't feel the pain that day but he complained about it the next morning," national coach sunny Thomas told DNA.
Narang who is working on the fitness with his team physiotherapist since Tuesday, also felt he did not find time to cherish the moment, as he was busy healing the injury and focusing on the other events.
His coach, Thomas who is working with Narang and helping him sort out issues ahead of the event on Friday, said, "To remain in that position for more than one hour is tough. His knee is not a big problem anymore. It has been holding up well for last few weeks. We are worried a bit about his neck as it was bothering him a lot on Friday. But it is getting better now. Hopefully, he'll be fit and ready for Friday."

- In next 10-20 years, France will be new Lebanon
In just a few years, Islamic suburbs of Paris will obey their own set of rules, they will have their own laws, their own principles, maybe even their own police. It is already the case, Alexandre Mendel, author of the book 'Partition' told RT.
Europe has been facing a large number of migrants coming from the war-torn countries in Africa and the Middle East. Today many are concerned about the Islamization of Europe and the failure of Muslims assimilating into their new countries.
RT met with a writer Alexandre Mendel, whose new book "Partition" is devoted to the Muslims' failure to integrate in France, and discussed the current situation in that country.
There are at least two things that are important about the Islamization. The first one is that you cannot be always blind with this problem. For 20-30 years we let down our rules, our principals, our republican ideals; we negotiated with Islamists. We are totally blind to this kind of small signals that some parts of France were becoming Islamized. That can explain the terrorism today in France. If we didn't accept these little arrangements with radical Islam, we probably wouldn't have had so many attacks in France. That is why it is so important today not to be blind anymore in France and to tell the truth.
Integration has failed in France, but not only France – in many other countries, because we buried our republican principal to actually mimic what exists in Great Britain, in Canada, or in the US; accept that you could be French, get French citizenship without even speaking French, without even going to the Republican French School, get French citizenship, without living like the French. France is not a new country of immigration – it has a very long story of immigration. People in the 1920s came to France from all over Europe – from Poland, from Russia, from Armenia, Italy, and there was no problem to integrate them, not problem at all.
What France will become in the next 10 or 20 years will be a kind of new Lebanon in some places in France.

Strangely enough, I like my love stories to take the backseat -- a side dish, if you will. I rarely, if ever, like anime that are pure romance with a few exceptions. I don't really know why this is so but I suspect it's because I've had traumatic experiences with the romance genre in anime. To put it bluntly, they're terrible. I always have a romance title in my watchlist each season and each time I drop them after only the first three episodes. I'm hoping this doesn't happen to Kimi ni Todoke.
More Screencaps from Kimi ni Todoke 01
OP: Kimi ni Todoke (Tanizawa Tomofumi) [YouTube]
ED: Kataomoi (Chara) [YouTube]
The story is typical high school stuff. Sawako is the misunderstood girl, unpopular because of her uncanny resemblance to Sadako, the villain from the horror film, Ringu ("The Ring"). It doesn't help that she tries too hard to get people to like her and ends up sending out the wrong signals instead.On the other end of the spectrum is Kazehaya, the all-around nice guy who is popular with both girls and boys. He and Sawako met one time on the first day of classes when Sawako gave him directions to their high school. Unknown to both, each one made quite an impression on the other.
I've forgotten how much shoujo manga boys sparkle.
But before Sawako can find her happy ending, she still has to go through the horrendous first few days of high school. If you've been through high school, you probably know what it's like. The expected things happen, in which Sawako tries to make friends with classmates who have already arrived at their own -- wrong -- conclusions about her personality. Let's just say, she's having a hard time.
Enter Kazehaya, who treats her like he does everybody else. Because of this, Sawako looks up to him and decides to emulate his cheerful personality (with disastrous effects, if I might say).
Long story short, the misunderstanding between Sawako and her classmates gets partly resolved by the end of the episode, thanks to Kazehaya and an old parlor trick that makes perfect use of Sawako's, erm, "assets."The episode actually ends with a beginning for both Kazehaya and Sawako and one can immediately see the turbulent, angstastic road ahead. But that's okay because predictability goes hand-in-hand with romantic comedys. At least, Kimi ni Todoke doesn't pretend to be different only to fail in the end to live up to expectations created by hype.
In terms of art, it's the best part about this anime. It's by Production I.G. so production value is pretty much a given. I was half-expecting the art style to take after Tokyo Marble Chocolate, a 2-episode OVA by the same animation studio released in 2007. Instead, I'm looking at a style that looks like it's lifted from right out of the canvas for Porphy no Nagai Tabi. I got no complaints because the whole thing genuinely looks good.I especially like the manga-esque feel of the characters. I am also partial to black-haired characters so the fact that both main characters sport black hair is a huge plus. Kazehaya's design especially looks good. Sawako is also appropriately pretty, and her "Sadako" persona is genuinely scary. Even the super-deformed (SD) images don't detract too much from the overall style. I have no real issues against SD. They make for great icons at the very least. But some people might find them off-putting. So just a warning then: there's a lot of SD in Kimi ni Todoke.The opening and closing themes are okay. Nothing to write home about. I kind of like the opening better than the ending theme but that's just me. Honestly, I'm not that into Jpop anymore so the songs hold little charm for me. I do like the BGM though. Then again, I am insanely fond of piano pieces.
Seriously though, you can always tell a good BGM by its ability to set the tone for the story or the emotion of a particular scene without taking center stage. The BGM for Kimi ni Todoke does just that. Just don't try to listen to the individual tracks as a standalone because they will put you to sleep in no time.IN SUM --
Kimi ni Todoke isn't about to break any borders but I wasn't expecting that anyhow. What I do expect is a nice, light, fluffy school romance that delivers the goods without trying too hard. So far so good.

The Register is certainly providing interesting leads.
I searched for
Louisa A Mitchell with her known date of birth (25 Apr 1883).
This is what came up
Louisa A Mitchell 25 Apr 1883 Female Unpaid Domestic Duties Widowed 78 1
Madeline C Morris (Mitchell) 11 Jul 1913 Female Bank Clerk Single 78 2
When I viewed the Register itself there was little note next to Madeline's name.
London Gazette I.C.
What does that mean I wondered? Well who better to ask than Google!
So I type the following into Google.
london gazette madeline c mitchell morris
This was the first hit
NOTICE is hereby given that MADELINE CECILIA MORRIS of 3 Jubilee Court, East Grinstead in the county of Sussex, Spinster, a natural born British subject heretofore called and known by the name of Madeline Cecilia Mitchell has renounced and abandoned the name of Madeline Cecilia Mitchell and has assumed and intends henceforth upon all occasions whatsoever and at all times to sign and use the name of Madeline Cecilia Morris in lieu of and in substitution for her former name of Madeline Cecilia Mitchell; and notice is also hereby given that such change of name is formally declared and evidenced by a deed poll given under her hand and seal dated the 28th day of July 1942 duly executed and attested, and that such deed poll was enrolled in the Central Office of the Supreme Court of Judicature on the 14th day of October 1942.—Dated this I5th day of October 1942. MAWBY BARRIE and LETTS, 55-61, Moorgate, London, E.G.2, Solicitors for the said (177) Madeline Cecilia Morris.
As with any family history research you end up with more questions - why she did she change her name? And would I have found the change of name if it wasn't for the little note on the 1939 Register?

In most Southern Baptist Churches in some corner of the building or posted on the fellowship hall is the Church Covenant.
In order to keep this blog fairly short and readable I don't have time or space to go into all the details of a church covenant other than to say this: I do think it's biblical for people to write out what they believe and hold one another accountable for their actions. Obviously a covenant should be based solely on the Bible. To read more about covenants in detail please CLICK HERE.
The main thing I wanted to write about today was this: Did you even realize that your church has a covenant? Do you even know what it says? You see a covenant helps us to keep one another accountable by expressing what it is that a church believes and how a church expects it's members to live. It's not a "legalistic" tool, but rather it is to be used for the type of discipline Jesus spoke of in Matthew 18. CLICK HERE for what a typical SBC Church Covenant says.
When we join a local body of believers shouldn't we know what it believes? Don't get a Covenant and a Constitution confused (see one of the links above). Pastors and other ministers: Are you helping your congregation know what the church expects from them? Of course we should say: "Read the Bible". But a Covenant helps us write out what the Bible says about our conduct in a shorter, "easier to remember" statement. There are many SBC churches in the Reformed movement that have covenants that the church recites together before the Lord's Supper. In this way, each member can be reminded of what the church expects from them.
Another important reason for a church covenant, as alluded to above, is for use in church discipline. If you want to bring discipline (for the purpose of reconciliation) against a member who is always gossiping, it is much easier if he or she has already signed a church covenant agreeing to keep certain standards in their walk.
Anyway, please email or comment below for more discussion. I am interested in other people's take on this issue… Also, please visit the 9Marks site (the first link above) because they write much better than I do and it will give you some more insight to the history and biblical basis for church covenants…

2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class vs 2017 Audi A4
Two of the most popular luxury sedans on the market today, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2017 Audi A4 both draw a lot of attention from consumers. With changes being made to both models each year, we wanted to highlight a few of the differences between their standard models.
While the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2017 Audi A4 both have a 2.0-liter I-4 engine, the C-Class offers far more power. The C-Class' engine can get the luxury sedan up to 241 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque, while the 2017 A4 can reach 190 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque with its engine.

Comfort Differences Between the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2017 Audi A4
While the passenger space in the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class and the 2017 Audi A4 is very similar, the 2017 C-Class has more options available to provide the most comfort. Heated front seats are available for both models; however, only the 2017 C-Class has cooled front seats available for those warm summer days. Memory seats also come standard on the C-Class, but are made available in the A4. The front seats of the 2017 C-Class also have 10-way power direction controls, while the A4 has 8-way controls. Lumbar support is also included for the drivers of the C-Class and A4 for extra comfort for longer trips, but passengers only get lumbar support in the C-Class
If you were interested in test driving the 2017 Mercedes-Benz C-Class to get feel for its power and comfort, contact Luxury Imports of Bowling Green today. We'd be more than happy to answer any of your questions.

A bellhop who's been at the Sheraton Cavalier Hotel since 1969 is the best tourism employee in Canada.
"I'm just overwhelmed," said Dan Cardinal, who won the Canadian Tourism Employee of the Year Award on Wednesday in Gatineau Quebec. "It still hasn't set in quite yet, but I'm still getting butterflies in the old stomach."
Cardinal was 18-years-old when he started with the maintenance crew.
From Premiers, and Prime Ministers, he has met high-profile public figure and celebrities from all different backgrounds through the years.
"When you see people at their best and at their worst, you try to make things better for them," he said. "When they leave through the doors and they had a great experience, that's just gold in itself."
Cardinal said he was going to retire in the new year, but he now wants to work three more years to reach the milestone of 50 years in the building.

Interactive Simulation

The simulation provided a valuable insight into the day to day activities and trials of a human resource manager. A triad of scenarios only goes to show even the most well-meaning and able administrator is not going to appease every single person in the organization. However, using all the information and fact finding tools that can be drawn upon then a best available and workable solution can be put into place.
Briefly, the Cartwright-Porter regional airport is entering its 7th year of operations that has seen challenges from the very beginning. Instituted managerial reforms have enabled a promising outlook for the present but unresolved human resource (HR) concerns are rising to potentially threaten the viability of the near future. In this regard, looming at present is a disgruntled staff of baggage handlers. These employees have a pivotal role in the normal function of the facility but while influential they are not the only employee group.
The HR department must deal equitably so as not to elicit a backlash from other workers. There can be no unimportant or favored employees in a successful enterprise whether a regional airport or some other business. HR operating in a less than professional manner can invite a host of problems the least of which is attempting to placate one group while earning the jealously and discontent of the remaining employees.
In validating the issue, the logical first step has been accomplished. Cartwright-Porter is located in proximity to the Wildflower Forrest a resort catering to an adult clientele. The airport has entered into a mutually beneficial arrangement with the resort and the results have been increased traffic at the airport and additional guest at the Wildflower. However, now a greater strain...

Peruvians aren't as Catholic as they think they are
|From www.chattycatholics.blogspot.com
Catholicism does not allow living together before marriage (ie living in sin) or having children out of wedlock (ie illegitimate children) and many Peruvians do both of these things.
Despite the number of times I see it I'll always find it a bit disturbing to see people shouting or arguing on the bus, pass a church, and frantically cross themselves many times over, and then go back to shouting or arguing. It's almost a superstition rather than a religion in my opinion.
Divorce is painful
People get divorced for different reasons, some people fall out of love, others realise they are more different than they thought, others were taken advantage of by bricheros or bricheras. Going to marry a Peruvian? Make an effort to learn about the culture and the language.
Despite being common, divorce isn't easy; few divorces are truly amicable. Divorce tends to bring out the worst in people even with spouses who get along, but just don't love each other anymore. People fight about money, children, material goods, retirement portfolios, and even friends. Skeletons come out of the closet and the people become very bitter as divorce drags on.
|From millennialinflux.com
Peru's becoming more liberal
Along with many countries around the world, things that were once taboo, such as living together before marriage, having sex before marriage, having kids outside of marriage, gay rights, abortion, and so on, are not only accepted, but people who disagree with these topics are often perceived as being old-fashioned or backwards.
Look at the picture on the right. Well 38% of people surveyed think it's a bad thing to live together, 50% don't think it matters at all and 10% actually think it's good. The people who think it's bad are in the minority and that number's just going to decrease in the future as people become more forward minded.

Everyone knows the Car Show at McCormick Place is a South Loop event. But no one ever seems to talk about the Boat Show in the same place, just a few weeks before. Why that is I can't figure out--because the South Loop contains and relates to and interacts with some of the best boat harbors in the City: Monroe and Burnham.
I just visited the boat show over the weekend myself--for the first time since I moved to the South Loop in 1994. So whatever keeps people from going was keeping me from going, too. Maybe it's the PR. They must not have enough.
In any case, I liked it. It was worth the $12 admission. I only visited for about an hour early Saturday evening. But I saw a lot. Picked up a lot of literature. Wandered onto a lot of boats. Boats that went from about $50,000 to well over a million smackers. I didn't visit the ones that required the taking off of shoes. Because I had a hole in one of my socks. And I also didn't have enough time to keep taking my footwear off and putting it back on again.
One thing I did was sign up for a free subscription (one for me and one for my boyfriend Bruce) to Yachting Magazine. Because we might buy a boat. Especially after we visit the in-water boat show at the 31st Street harbor in June. (Also a popular harbor for South Loopers, not to mention the place Burnham and Monroe harbor inhabitants were allowed to put their boats during NATO, when the former two had to be completely evacuated.)
I was surprised how much I really loved just the plain old power boats. I always thought my life would be totally perfect if I had a yacht. But for some reason, the yachts at the show didn't send me. But the completely comfortable--lots of seating and lots of storage--but totally unprotected, bedroom-less boats I really liked. They all have small heads (bathrooms), although it's a bit of a chore to get into them. But I still liked them. They also all have plenty of spots to store ice and provisions and other necessary gear.
I told Bruce the point of boating is being out in the water, out in the sun and the air. Who needs a floating house, with mini-rooms, a teeny kitchen and cramped walkways? Like a children's playhouse. Why not just get a nice, cheap, roomy floating deck-type boat, load it with lots of food and drink (as I said, there is a head aboard them all) and invite friends to lounge around in the comfy, cozy seats? Maybe go out in the middle of the lake and swim? Or just talk? Who needs to sleep on the darn thing in a room that feels like the walls are caving in on you?
If we park it at Burnham--which we will if we get one--why not just walk home and sleep under our high ceilings, revel in the use of a full-size bath? And make use of the burglar alarm, totally fresh-made ice cubes--and the company of our cats? Bruce said it sounded so good he'd like to park one in the middle of my living room.

After a long day of travel, one of our first stops in London was for a martini at Dukes Hotel. Nestled in a quaint little spot just off of Bond Street, Dukes is just the kind of place where you can count on seeing a few British bigwigs enjoying their version of happy hour, with each martini setting them back £20.
Outrageously priced? Yes. Worth it? Absolutely. Since we aren't big martini drinkers, I can't tell you what the initial appeal was of going to Dukes, but I was certainly intrigued by the fact that it was dubbed by many travel guides as having the best martini the world. When in Rome. Apparently, Dukes was the spot where Ian Fleming enjoyed his martinis, therefore becoming the inspiration for James Bond's famous drink of choice. So, there's that.
Based on my drink order (a Miss Moneypenny - cointreau, passion fruit, and lime), it was certainly clear to our waiter knew that I'm no martini affecionado, but it didn't faze him from giving us the complete martini history experience, as he prepared our martinis on a roll-out cart, directly in front of our table. If you're a martini drinker, Dukes is a must. If you're not, it's still worth the experience.

First Online: 20 August 2008Received: 17 January 2008Accepted: 20 August 2008
BackgroundProtozoan infections are the most serious among all the superimposed infections in HIV patients and claim a number of lives every year. The line of treatment being different for diverse parasites necessitates a definitive diagnosis of the etiological agents to avoid empirical treatment. Thus, the present study has been aimed to elucidate the associations between diarrhoea and CD4 counts and to study the effect of HAART along with management of diarrhoea in HIV positive patients. This study is the first of its kind in this area where an attempt was made to correlate seasonal variation and intestinal protozoan infestations.
MethodsThe study period was from January 2006 to October 2007 wherein stool samples were collected from 366 HIV positive patients with diarrhea attending the ART centre, inpatient department and ICTC of S.S. hospital, I.M.S., B.H.U., Varanasi. Simultaneously, CD4 counts were recorded to assess the status of HIV infection vis-à-vis parasitic infection. The identification of pathogens was done on the basis of direct microscopy and different staining techniques.
ResultsOf the 366 patients, 112 had acute and 254 had chronic diarrhea. The percentages of intestinal protozoa detected were 78.5% in acute and 50.7% in chronic cases respectively. Immune restoration was observed in 36.6% patients after treatment on the basis of clinical observation and CD4 counts. In 39.8% of HIV positive cases Cryptosporidium spp. was detected followed by Microsporidia spp. 26.7%. The highest incidence of intestinal infection was in the rainy season. However, infection with Cyclospora spp. was at its peak in the summer. Patients with chronic diarrhea had lower CD4 cell counts. The maximum parasitic isolation was in the patients whose CD4 cell counts were below 200 cells-μl.
ConclusionThere was an inverse relation between the CD4 counts and duration of diarrhea. Cryptosporidium spp. was isolated maximum among all the parasites in the HIV patients. The highest incidence of infection was seen in the rainy season.

Today, hundreds of miles from home, the truck started making a sporadic, non-constant staccato popping noise, much like a bottle rocket going off. I was unable to tell where it was coming from, as it only happened while I was driving and stopped when I was in park. It did not recur when I revved the engine in park. After about 15 mins, it stopped. A couple hours later, I was driving and noticed that the car hasda bit of a shake felt thru the steering wheel from about 35-50 mph. I did not have a chance to go much faster, so I am unsure if the shaking would return at 60 mph. I detached the spark plug wires one by one, but did not find one that was obviously bad. Any ideas?
Part Two - The STUPID driver's side door lock will NOT unliock with the keyless entry OR with the key. The only way I have found to open the door is by reaching around from the back driver's side door. THIS WILL DRIVE ME CRAZY. It also does not lock, although I can push it down to lock it. The lock/unlock switch inside on the driver's side locks all the other doors, but does not do anything when I push unlock. Any ideas on this?
have the same problem?

What exactly does this virus do? Well, first, let me clarify that it is NOT an actual virus--it's more of a hack, though many people are considering it a virus. What happens is the SMS text message allows the hacker to gain control of your iPhone and essentially do whatever he wants to it--whether it be make phone calls, send MORE text messages, gain access to your contacts and whatever else they want to do with your information. Everything on your iPhone is at risk with this security hole.Major security flaw leaves iPhones vulnerable for SMS texting virus and other hacks

Since I was unable to find such a thing, I decided that I would have to start my own. and that's exactly what I did 3 months ago. I posted on a local Facebook page asking for local interest and was very pleasantly surprised to find that there were actually others like me who really wanted and even needed a group. Some because they have machines and don't know how to use them, others, like me who want to share knowledge and enjoyment, so the group was born, It was only to be 1 afternoon a month, but then I had several requests for an evening group for those who work, so now I have two sessions per month. It is anticipated that this may very well increase to fortnightly. The interest and enthusiasm are there, and in no way do I wish to dampen it down.
So far there are two types of machines use by the members, mostly Brother machines, and Janome's, a variety of machine ages, capabilities and functionality makes classes 'Interesting' I'm certainly learning how 'other' machines work.
My own beast is a Brother Quattro 4, the INV6750D , love this machine, occasionally could do with slightly bigger than my biggest hoop, but not very often.
Anyway, as the group is new, I'm doing a technique tutorial each meeting, eventually others in the group will share their ideas and projects, but for now it's up to me. September's meeting will be doing Free Standing Lace. Hence this design as a larger sample. The tutorial will feature a butterfly lace coaster, much smaller and quicker to stitch out. This is the design I'll use to introduce them to Free Standing Lace. It's rather cute and only about 4" square.
This design I'm sharing with you today I bought soooooo long ago, that I can't actually remember when I did buy it, I do know that it comes from S-Embroidery which you can find here:
S-Embroidery They have such beautiful lace designs that you're sure to find something to delight you.
This design is called SKU 10458 Butterfly Freestanding Lace Doily.
The finished size measures a fraction over 18"
This first picture shows the 8 sections joined and ready to pin to my linen fabric.
the second picture shows the finished doily washed and laid out on a towel to dry.
As it's still wet, the embroidery looks darker than when dry. it's not turned out to badly for my first go at this project. I can see a couple of mistakes which can't now be rectified, but I'll know the danger next time, and will try to not repeat the mistakes.
Free Standing lace, a bit time consuming to sew, but I sat and crocheted poppies for Remembrance day while I waited. no time wasted so its all positive.
Thank you for visiting my blog,
Happy Crafting at whatever rocks your particular boat.

My recent health scare has had me looking at my diet and how I could improve my overall health. What the last four weeks have showed me is that I am a comfort eater who swings from restricting to permitting foods. I want foods like pizza to comfort me when work is stressful, I want chocolate when I feel teary though hormones and I want cheese on toast when I am bored.
What has smacked me squarely though is that mentally trying to eat a balanced diet has lead me a couple of times to order fast food and then not be able to eat it all as I then start thinking about my health and the fact that eating poorly due to stress was a contributing factor in the decline of my health. I feel guilty and then try not to beat myself up that I am hurting myself.
Life deals you cards different to what you want; my levels of work stress increased during a period I hoped for it to be smoother to allow time for my recovery and personal development. What I didn't expect was that I would come to realise that I use food to decrease stress and to block out feelings of boredom and loneliness. Attempting to balance the additional work stress with the mental roller-coaster of learning about my own body and mind reactions to food.
Before I go any further I want to tell you that I am in a healthy weight range for my height and I don't see myself as being overweight or underweight. I do look in the mirror and release I haven't been keeping healthy in terms of training but I still manage to control food by either indulging in a binge or limiting what I consume.
So you might be asking where God comes into this for me; when I am emotional, stressed, controlling my food or worrying about my health I am not connected to my sense of God. I am not religious but I am spiritual. When I am allowing all this outside issues to fracture my sanity I am as distant from God as I am from myself.
I have come to realise that whatever is happening currently in my world is leading down many paths and revealing to me more about myself than I expected. A medical procedure that was not required brought up painful memories and lead me to deal with past abuses. Looking at my diet to help my health has brought to the surface how I deal with stress and loneliness.
Whilst it might be a little painful, the journey to finding out about yourself is still a path that also leads to many smiles and freedoms. I am learning how to cook poached eggs though, always a plus!
Blessed Be
Robyn xoxo

At the present, there is a former S.S. "man" on trial in Germany. His name is Oscar Groening, a 93-year-old former guard and bookkeeper in Auschwitz. He is on trial for 300,000 counts of accessory to murder. He was witnessing the arrival of thousands to Auschwitz, and their selection process. Among them was a mother with an infant. In order to be included in the able-bodied people, she dropped her baby. And this "man" was there, as one of the S.S. trampled the baby until it died ("Holocaust crimes still matter," Leonid Bershidsky, Pittsburgh Post Gazette 4/24/15).
Don't anybody tell me they "understand" how the mother felt. Just as you wouldn't dare to say you understand when my neighbor, Mrs. Zukerman refused to part with her children during the selection at the liquidation of my hometown ghetto and joined them on the truck leading to their incineration, as did my teacher Mr. Lipschitz (as was witnessed by the able-bodied survivors, and told to me later).
What leads a being – I hesitate to call it a man, or a person – to thrash an infant to death? All one needs to do is look at the history of hate education in Nazi Germany with the rise of Hitler, where the Jews were portrayed as the enemy of the people, as polluting the German culture, and as a lower race. The Jews were accused of dominating German business, banking, and art. The Jews were 1% of the German population, which was 60, 600, 000.
Stop. Don't look for a rationale in hate.
In a similar way, but not to the same degree, the Soviet Union's young people were indoctrinated to hate the so-called capitalist world and internal enemies. Likewise, China under Mao brainwashed the youth in animosity toward the rest of the world. Currently, North Korean children are being taught hatred of the U.S. in school.
At the present time, in some circles of the Muslim world, the same hate education is practiced with relation to Jews and the rest of the world. Ironically, some Muslim groups are considered enemies of Islam in these circles.
Recently, there was a video aired by ISIS showing how a child is trained to behead a traitor. A recent interview on 60 Minutes described children in Gaza, who naturally are traumatized by the events of war, and how they express their feelings through drawings. Among other depictions was a drawing of a suicide bomber's belt and the desire to be a martyr ().
I consider the term suicide belt to be a faulted term – you use it to kill others; it is a homicide belt.
In totality, this is what I call the harvest of hate. Unfortunately, there are some schools in the United States producing the same hateful mindsets, too.
Hate is used as a vehicle for those who put themselves above the law to poison the minds and attract followers. Jewish law is based on the principle that law is above man, and so is the American judicial system. This stands in the way of those whose ambition is to rule the world.

How to Handle Website Attacks Your Security May Not See Coming
How to Handle Website Attacks Your Security May Not See Coming
by Chris Preimesberger
Revisit Your Website Security Strategy
Website hacks are not just about stealing an organization's data; even without data, you are still a target. Ask yourself: Are maintenance, operation, tuning, training, deployment and setup the right things on which to spend time? What if you could focus on incident response, visibility and reports, and ROI?
Attack Example No. 1: Application-Level DDoS
This is carried out by sending a large amount of innocent-looking traffic to the Website. All it takes are just a few thousand requests per second to kill most of today's application stacks. If there is just an order of magnitude more, even the servers could buckle and crash the site. This is relatively easy to generate but extremely hard to separate between the distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) traffic and the legitimate user traffic.
Attack Example No. 2: Website Backdoors
Gaining access to a backdoor on a Website provides hackers with full control over the Web server and application. They often use that control to carry out attacks on targeted Websites or to steal information. It is difficult to detect because hackers will gain root privileges and use them to hide the backdoor.
Attack Example No. 3: DNS Hijacking
This involves taking over your domain registrar account and taking ownership over your domain. The Website will go down, and, as a result, the site will lose all search engine optimization (SEO) ranking and reputation associated with the domain. The art of password hacking is much more advanced today than five years ago. The weakest link just may be the domain registrar's password.
Attack Example No. 4: Content Scraping
This hacking method automatically collects business intelligence from a Website and is executed by impersonating trusted Googlebots. It is used to eliminate a company's competitive advantage. For example, hackers may scrape a product catalog and all its prices.
Googlebot Impersonators a Serious Problem
Industry research reveals that 16.3 percent of sites suffer from Googlebot impersonation attacks of some kind. Among those targeted sites, 21 percent of those claiming to be a Googlebot were impersonators. The vast majority of impersonators post comment spam and also steal Website content.
Attack Example No. 5: Abuse by Automation
In this hack, legitimate Website functions are automated to harm the business. These can include fake account registrations, fake comments or votes, or fake checkouts. These attacks create a high operational overhead and loss of time and money. They are very hard to deal with because this traffic is invisible to most analytics tools and it appears legitimate to network admins.
High Percentage of Site Visitors May Be Intruders
Incapsula's industry research reveals that 31 percent of Website visitors are likely to be damaging intruders. Google Analytics doesn't show users 51 percent of Website traffic—including hackers, spammers and non-human stalkers.
Adapt Current Security Strategy for New Threats
To deal with new threats effectively, a security strategy must include the following: a) visibility: be sure to stay informed on what is happening from the beginning of the process to the bottom line; b) perimeter security: make sure attacks are stopped on the perimeter, before reaching the network; and c) agility: use security experts who can rapidly respond to new attack techniques.
New Line of Defense: Cloud-Based Web Application Firewalls
Cloud-based WAFs, which were recently made available, provide a new service model for online security. They eliminate maintenance, operation, tuning, training, deployment and setup costs; stop attacks at the perimeter; and gain full visibility and are up-to-date with the latest security features.

You are viewing an Email identified as a Scam, It has the Subject "DESPERATE ASSISTANCE!!" and it was received in one of Scamdex's honeypot email accounts on Fri, 27 Nov 2015 15:43:30 -0800 and has been classified as a Advance Fee Fraud/419 Scam. The sender was "Sgt Maj Arthur J Leak"<email@example.com>, although that address was probably spoofed. It is recommended that you do not attempt to contact any persons or organizations referenced in this email, as you will expose yourself to scammers and, at the very least, you will be added to their email address lists for spam purposes.
HELLO My name is Sgt. Maj. Arthur J. Leak, I'm an American soldier serving in the military with the Army's 2nd Infantry division Iraq but now redeployed to Afghanistan. I have a very desperate need for assistance and have summed up courage to contact you.I'm seeking your kind assistance to move the sum of four Million five hundred United Dollars (US$4.5M) to you as far as I can be assured that my share will be safe in your care. SOURCE OF MONEY: Some money in various currencies were discovered in barrels at a farmhouse near Saddam's old palaces in Tikrit-Iraq during a rescue operation, and it was agreed by Staff Sgt Kenneth Buff and I that some part of this money be shared between both of us before informing anybody about it since both of us saw the money first. This does not sound right to do but I tell you what! No compensation can make up for the risk we have taken with our lives in this hell hole, of which my brother in-law was killed by a road side bomb last time. The above figure was given to me as my share, and to conceal this kind of money became a problem for me but with the help of a British contact working here and with his office enjoying some immunity, I was able to get the package out to a safe location entirely out of trouble spot. I have now found a very secured way of getting the package to you and I will discuss this with you when I 'm sure that you are willing to assist me and that the money will be well secured in your hands. I feel this is the right time to send this money to you. I want you to tell me how much you will take from this money for the assistance you will give to me. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with anybody. Should you have reasons to reject this offer, please and please, I beg you to destroy this message as any leakage of this information will be too bad for the US soldiers in Iraq and even Afghanistan. I do not know how long we will remain in this war, as each day looks horrifying with deadly operation and battle against die hard militants and terrorists. Totally, we lost well over 4,500 men so far and I have survived two suicide bomb attacks and other forms of attack by the special grace of God. This and other reasons I will mention later has prompted me to reach out for help. I honestly want this matter to be resolved immediately. May God bless you Sgt. Maj. Arthur J. Leak
