NYPD Ambush
- NEW YORK — U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said the killing of a New York City officer in "cold blood" is the latest in a troubling series of attacks on police officers over the past two years.
Sessions issued a statement on Wednesday saying "these attacks must stop."
Officer Miosotis Familia died Wednesday after a gunman shot her in the head as she sat in a police RV in the Bronx. The gunman fled, but was fatally shot by police after he pointed a revolver at them.
- Bonds, who also went by the name John Bonds, was sentenced to six years in Attica prison on an armed robbery case in Syracuse and had been paroled in 2013. He had other prior arrests, including one in 2001, when as a 15-year-old he was accused of attacking an officer with brass knuckles.
In a video posted on Facebook in September, the Bronx man ranted about the treatment of civilians by officers and talked about how hard life was behind bars.
Godspeed Officer and deepest condolences to the NYPD.

Team News: Portsmouth v Leyton Orient
PUBLISHED: 10:00 06 February 2016
07958 573219 firstname.lastname@example.com
Kevin Nolan has some decisions to make about his starting team at Fratton Park
Shaun Brisley is set to make his Leyton Orient debut in their League Two clash at Portsmouth later this afternoon (Saturday).
The 25-year-old central defender joined on loan from Peterborough last month on a deal until the end of the season.
He was an unused substitute during the 3-1 defeat to Cambridge United last Saturday at Brisbane Road.
Connor Essam made two errors in the loss and is expected to be replaced in the starting line-up by Brisley at Fratton Park.
Another person who could be set for a full debut is Armand Gnanduillet after he scored his first goal for Orient last weekend.
Nolan will have a tough decision to make whether the French forward starts alongside Jay Simpson or if Ollie Palmer is given the nod again.
The east Londoners will definitely be without Paul McCallum and Dean Cox, who are both working their way back from knee ligament injuries.
Midfielder Lloyd James remains out too, but new recruits Nicky Hunt and Jerome Binnom-Williams, on-loan from Crystal Palace, should be on the bench for the match with Pomepy.

By René Mahfood
We had the unique opportunity of meeting and interviewing this extraordinary young lady; Jessica, an 11 year old girl with an extra special purpose in life, to create and over- achieve. We were introduced to Jessica a couple of years ago and we have watched her and her business grow by leaps and bounds.
Jessica started making rubber band bracelets several years ago as a fundraiser to help her friend raise money to assist her family's cost for cancer treatments. The bracelets were well received and the creative juices kept flowing.
She then decided to start her own business and named it "Friendly Bands". Today Friendly Bands has over 50 different styles all designed by Jessica. These bands can be found online and in local stores. She then decided to add charms to the Friendly Bands and these charms have been extremely popular too.
As a result of her love for making these bracelets Jessica decided to make her very own loom, a circular machine named The Sunshine Loom, one of the many products under the Friendly Bands brand. The Sunshine Loom was one of the first looms on the market and is unique due to its circular shape. Because of its design and the way it was engineered, it takes less than half the time to make multiple row bracelets and only requires one Sunshine loom instead of the three looms required by the other looms that are rectangular. The Sunshine Loom has become one of the hottest items this season; if you can find it.
The Sunshine Loom was sent to a buyer at Walmart.com and was approved within 24 hours and posted to sell within a week. They did a test run with 1,000 pieces, which sold out in a few days. The Sunshine Loom was also selected by Toyrus.com which also sold out instantly.
Jessica also started selling her Friendly Bands at local schools. The family decided to apply for a specialty license to sell Friendly Bands with logos to colleges. They just processed their first order from Florida State University with the FSU logo for 10,000 bands.
Jessica's mother and father have admired and supported their daughter through the process and her mother Madeline is now running the business side of Friendly Bands with the help of her husband, Doug.
Not only is Jessica an accomplished entrepreneur at the age of 11, she is also a self-motivated straight A student in all honors classes, as well as excelling in sports. Jessica plays on her school volleyball and soccer teams in addition to the Team Boca U11 Travel Soccer Team, and plays the cello! Jessica gives 100% to everything she does and yet she is still a very humble and sweet young lady. We can't wait to see what she comes up with next.

Deyaar unveils $272m mixed-use development
DUBAI, September 14, 2017
UAE-based Deyaar Development has announced the launch of South Bay, a premium residential, serviced apartment and hotel property to be developed at an estimated cost of Dh1 billion ($272 million) in Dubai.
Located in Business Bay, one of Dubai's most desirable destinations for residents and tourists alike, the 63-storey development will boast a built-up area of more than 1.3 million sq m and offer fantastic views of The Tower at Dubai Creek Harbour and Meydan Racecourse.
The striking design of the South Bay tower focuses on verticality, featuring sleek lines that effortlessly combine design with functionality – something that is echoed throughout the building's interior, too, said senior Deyaar officials at the launch ceremony held on the sidelines of Cityscape Global.
South Bay will be Deyaar's first project with three accommodation components: residential, serviced apartment, and hotel units. It will comprise 926 units, from studios through to three bedrooms, of which 448 will be residential, 133 will be serviced apartments, and 345 will be hotel units operated by a multinational hotel brand, they added.
CEO Saeed Al Qatami said: "We're extremely pleased to showcase our newest development, South Bay, here at Cityscape. South Bay will be the perfect addition to our growing portfolio, as a property suitable for anyone looking to live at a prestigious address in the heart of modern Dubai."
"Business Bay is one of the most exciting neighbourhoods to be in today, and South Bay will be in the very centre of the city's leisure and business district," he noted.
According to him, this new project will contribute to Deyaar's expanding hospitality property portfolio, comprising 478 of the more than 2,000 keys that the company will add to the hospitality sector in Dubai by 2020.
"Residents will enjoy hotel amenities catering to their social, leisure, health and general well-being needs, including a gymnasium, swimming areas, mini golf, and more," explained Al Qatami.
South Bay will put residents within easy reach of popular business and leisure destinations in Dubai; just 8 minutes away from Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), 12 minutes away from Dubai Trade Centre, and 5 minutes away from The Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa, he added.
The official sales launch for South Bay will be announced in the coming months.-TradeArabia News Service

The Dream: A woman is talking up her partner, as wives and mothers often talk up and praise their husbands and children. I think she's overdoing it.
She has beet juice on her face, and she wipes her face on the sleeve of her lovely red wool coat. It leaves a stain. She takes the coat to the dry cleaner and when it comes back there's a cloudy gray-white residue where the stain had been. I go to get a cloth in order to clean up the mark, dampening the cloth with water. But I'm not sure I can remove this stain.
Interpretation: What is this stain that won't be removed; does it come from being beet red with embarrassment? Could it be the stain of menstruation, symbolizing the "stain" and trials of being a woman? Have these challenges beaten me down? In the dream a woman is self-effacing, making her partner more important than she is. The day before the dream I had a conversation with a friend about discrimination against women the the art world: she told me that a famous man's work on the art market gets 30 times what a famous woman's work gets.
This stain is difficult to remove. It's embedded in the fabric. Is this "fabric" cultural or part of our DNA? In the dream it's embedded in a wool coat, a fitting symbol of feminine "sheepdom." We women have put on the mantle of the easily led. How sheepish are we?

Prism Book Alliance® would like to thank C.M. Lievens for stopping by today.
Title: A Good Enough Reason
Author: C.M. Lievens
Publisher: Dreamspinner Press
Cover Artist: Bree Archer
Genre: Contemporary
Release Date: 05/23/2016
High school seniors Ellis and Dale are as different as day and night, or so Ellis believes. Ellis loves to write, while Dale loves soccer. Ellis has only a handful of friends, and Dale is Mr. Popularity. But when they're partnered up for an AP English project, Ellis learns different can be good. Really good.
Dale Stephens has it all: friends, a hot girlfriend, mad soccer skills—and a secret. He's bisexual, but because he's never been in love with a boy, it's always been easier to keep that part of himself hidden. Until Ellis changes everything.
As their love grows, Dale realizes it's Ellis he wants to be with—only he's not ready for the world to know about them, especially after the way his mom reacts to the news.
But when they are outed by a bully who has made a career out of tormenting Ellis, Dale and Ellis must face down their fears and try to stay together. What will happen when the bully goes too far? Will Ellis come out of it unscathed?
We are here today to talk about A Good Enough Reason. What can you tell us about it?
It's my first full length novel, and my first book that doesn't have shifters in it, unless you count my short holiday story. It's also my first young adult story, and writing teenagers was a challenge.
Please tell us more about our main characters.
Ellis and Dale are teenagers in their last year of high school. Ellis is gay, but no one knows except his best friends. Dale is bisexual, but he's been repressing that part of himself because he wanted his life to be easy.
They're both typical teens—selfish, scared, awkward—but there's more to them that that. On paper, they're opposites since Dale is a jock while Ellis is a geek, but as the saying goes, opposites attract.
What about A Good Enough Reason makes you the proudest?
Being published with Dreamspinner Press was one of my career goals when I started writing, because they're the biggest LGBT publisher and the quality of their books is well known. I also proved myself I could get out of the shifter novella mold I've been writing in for the past two years.
What is next for these characters? Is there more to this series? If so who will we hear from next?
I'd planned A Good Enough Reason to be a standalone, but now both Mark and Matt want their stories to be written. That means we'll see more of Ellis and Dale, but as secondary characters.
If you could give one piece of advice to aspiring writers, what would it be?
Write. Some days you won't feel like it, but always write. It's the best way to get better at it.
What part of a new story comes to you first? Characters? Plot? A scene? A theme? Or does it vary from book to book?
It varies from book to book. Sometimes it's a character, sometimes a scene. With A Good Enough Reason, it was a secondary character, Mark.
What part of writing a book comes the hardest for you?
When I get toward the end of the book. I always get doubts—what if the book is boring? It sucks, right? It's very tempting to stop writing then, but I'd have only unfinished drafts if I did, so I push through, and it usually gets better.
Do you ever abandon a draft partly written and just move on? Do you keep a file of plot ideas?
I use notebooks, actually. I always write down the plot bunny as it comes to me, then I add to it when I'm inspired. I don't abandon partly written drafts, but I do have a few first draft stories on my computer that will probably never be revised and published.
Do you have a character in your head that you have yet to write a story for?
Mark, the bully from A Good Enough Reason. I wasn't able to dig as much as I wanted to since A Good Enough Reason wasn't his story.
What book do you keep by your bed?
I keep my Kindle there, because I always read before going to sleep. There's also a dinosaurs book my son and I read before he goes to bed.
If you had to be a cat, dog, or a rat, which would you choose and why?
House cat. They're independent, but let's face it, most house cats are spoiled rotten by their owners, mine included.
Do you remember a character talking about a particular food and it made you want to eat it RIGHT NOW? and if yes, what was it?
It always happens when I read about pancakes. They're not common here in Italy, but I learned to make them.
What are you reading right now and what is next on your to-be-read list?
I'm deep in a hockey period, so I'm reading all the hockey books and fanfiction I can get my hands on.

What are you working on? What is next?
I just finished writing a contemporary with a paranormal element—mermaids. One of the main characters is a human, the other a merman. As for what is next, I have a fantasy, a urban fantasy, and a few contemporary vying for my attention. I'm not sure which one will win yet.

About the Author
C.M. Lievens is a penname Catherine Lievens uses when she writes stories with little to no sex, and more specifically, Young Adult ones.
She lives in Italy with her husband, three cats, and her son, who luckily isn't going to be a young adult for many years to come, because Catherine is not prepared for that just yet. She loves to write about different people and situations, hence the need for a penname.
When she's not putting pen to paper to plot her next story, writing while avoiding her kid's questions (he's way too curious for his own good), or talking to her cats, she can be found hiding in the bathroom, because that's the only place where she can read in peace.

2012 Race Equipment - Chapeau!
More parcels arriving in the post, one of the happy things about this time of year, that helps to offset the worst of the long, cold, wet winter miles that can occasionally get a bit too much when my plans get a little over ambitious and overstretch either my clothing or food (or both!) that I have with me.... who an I kidding, I love my winter miles ;-)
This time it was the lovely guys at Chapeau! who were kind enough to send me not only some of both their normal and menthol chamois cream, something that is so, so important in an endurance riders arsenal, but I was delighted to find a couple of stylish cycling caps in the box too, perfect for this and just about any other time of year. Thanks, or indeed, "chapeau", Chapeau!

I feel lost.
But does that mean I am?
I am wandering,
Where is my place?
What am I to do this season?
Who am I to be this season of life?
I recently connected with this truth Christine Caine spoke, "Sometimes when you think you're in a dark place, you've really been planted."
It IS dark,
in the dirt.
It feels breathless
And here's His sweet reminder to me, a month or two after I started this post.
Not all who wander are lost.
Remember feeling lost Kim?
You never were.
Never are.
I am opening up new doors for you.
Be willing and available.
Just as your kids have their own calling and purpose,
you do as well.
Your husband is on his own path.
Remember, your "seasons" might not match up with others' seasons
and that is okay.
Don't try to rush it or endure it,
whatever the season.
Sometimes you "wander" and try things on for size and fit.
It doesn't freak me out.
I am fine with it.
There are things you never knew you could enjoy or do
that I will open up for you.
All that is gold does not glitter.-JRR Tolkein "All that is Gold Does Not Glitter" in Lord of the Rings
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

Learn How To Get Your Computer a Boost by Running a Registry Fix Cleaner
Do you suffer currently from a relatively new, but sluggish computer? It can be a really frustrating experience, especially if your computer slows or crashes frequently at random. Many people who want to experience this problem, their computers are replaced. However, there is a much simpler solution to this problem as a whole computer with a new one. Most problems can be solved on your PC as a rule with a Register Cleaner embarrassment.
There are many different Windows registry cleaners that might fix your registry problems. But before we go into detail about the cleaners, we should first learn more about the Windows registry. The entire registry is basically a database where information is stored on your computer such as what hardware, software and settings that are configured on your computer.
Most of the time, the registry is working properly. However, there are times when the computer is causing interference due to the incorrect and unnecessary entries. This can cause several problems with slow start, freeze, slow performance, crashes, and even the blue screen about going home. Many people end up so-called experts setting because they do not think they could fix the problem yourself.
People usually at the end of her money for people who are only very basic repairs. You can do it yourself. All you need is a registry cleaner fix. This cleaner can really help you in getting rid of these problems. Even if you do not have these problems, you can avoid getting it with this simple software.
There are many features that you should look in the Windows registry cleaners. One of the key features that should have your cleaner is the ability to backup the registry. Although this may not be very obvious, it's really one of the things you should look into a cleaner. Something could be wrong with the cleaning process so that it would be better if you have backups of your registry, which could restore at any time.
Apart from the backups of the registry cleaner should also be able to do a thorough review of the registry. Most problems in the registry are located deep in the system. Some cleaners only scan the surface. If you want to achieve the best results, you should get cleaner, which is deep in the registry check.
Another thing you should fix your registry cleaner is its ability to clean your registry automatically. You are only protected from potential problems in the registry, if you clean your registry. It is therefore of registration problems remain the best thing you can do to get a registry cleaner that cleans your registry automatically. You would not have to bother with the cleaning process manually. If the cleaning program registry the registry automatically fixes, you would have fewer worries. It would also optimize the performance of your computer with a cleaning lady, which provide you delete the wrong registry entries and automatically.

Connie Converse is the sound of aloneness (not loneliness) grown so familiar it has become part of the furniture. The characters she sings of, the roving women and the playboy's of the Western world wear their separateness like a badge of honour. They can entwine themselves briefly into other people, sample them like a light snack but they know that this can only be temporary, delicious but temporary. As we wander through the grass, we can hear each other pass but we're far apart, far apart in the dark. Love is only a masquerade and you can hear in her imperfect, detached voice that she knows this. Her voice is not beautiful, her guitar playing not particularly accomplished, but there is by turns a resigned weariness or a knowing sneer to her music which is allowed to glow malevolently from the simplicity, the nakedness of her songs. What foolish girls who look up to the sky in search of love, wishing and waiting until they die. Even their dreams will betray them. The man in the sky isn't married yet.
She is not immune through. In 'Talking Like You (Two Tall Mountains)', she hears some lost love everywhere. Echoes of him everywhere (I can relate). That is when you know for sure that a break-up has bruised you, infected you to the very core. It doesn't matter what you do or where you go; reminders of him follow you around like your shadow. The whole world becomes a minefield of memories. Up that tree, there's sort of a squirrel thing. Sounds just like we did when we were quarrelling. Brilliant rhyming aside, this image is cute but so very sinister in the way you can be so tied down, so trapped by someone who is no longer there. But there is a edge of defiance as well. You might think you've left me all alone but I can hear you talk without a telephone. Connie know that she has been able to capture something as well. The memories are hers. He does not get to take away what he once gave so willingly. The bravado is ironic, of course but also, sincere. Its almost like she's saying 'Fuck you, I will always own a piece of you, it's mine'. She is endlessly pragmatic even through loss. And so stoic. She sounds like an emotionally repressed person forced to talk about their feelings in family therapy.
Connie Converse recorded these songs in the 50's. In 1974, she wrote letters of farewell to her loved ones and then left, never to be seen again. Too few are the days that will hold your face. She is still missing to this day. It is hard to separate this biographical information from the songs themselves. The whole album sounds like the thoughts of someone too used to everything disappearing, who herself is not immune to disappearing. All of this is only temporary. But so delicious anyway. How sad, how lovely. How short, how sweet.

Staff Writer, Waynesboro
WAYNESBORO, Pa. - The Waynesboro Area School Board has changed its meeting location to the Waynesboro Area Middle School library from its wheelchair-inaccessible Clayton Avenue conference room after a parent threatened legal action.
But former PTO President Stephen Hansen said the board hasn't gone far enough. Hansen, a disabled veteran, said the district has been violating the Americans with Disabilities Act and has refused to budge for two years.
District employees, delivery people and school board members park in handicapped spots without punishment, Hansen said. He said he wants the district to allow police to ticket perpetrators and a letter sent to employees saying they will be punished if caught.

This is a bond which certain registered investment professionals are required by law to post with some states. It is a contract whereby the surety agrees to have secondary responsibility to the state (the obligee) for any default or debt of the registered investment adviser (the principal). The RIA bond indemnifies the obligee for losses sustained as a result of any covered defaults, up to the amount of the Bond.
To become a licensed registered investment advisor, many states require the advisor to post a surety bond in lieu of a cash deposit. Investment advisors can purchase these required RIA surety bonds direct from Colonial.

SPRING HILL — Concern over costs led city leaders to vote against hiring a consulting firm to guide an expansion of water and sewer lines aimed at encouraging city growth.
SPRING HILL — Concern over costs led city leaders to vote against hiring a consulting firm to guide an expansion of water and sewer lines aimed at encouraging city growth.
City staff had recommended the Board of Mayor and Aldermen approve the hiring of consulting firm O'Brien and Gere to help determine where new water and sewer systems should be planned in anticipation of future expansion. The firm was chosen by several members of city staff following an exhaustive interview process.
However, board members balked at the estimated $1 million price tag for the consulting project, and many felt city staff members would do a better job. The board voted 2-6 against the measure with Aldermen Jonathan Duda and Eliot Mitchell supporting and Mayor Rick Graham, Vice-Mayor Bruce Hull, Aldermen Keith Hudson, Chad Whittenburg, Kayce Williams and Amy Wurth voting against it. Alderman Susan Zemek was not present at the Tuesday meeting.
Graham said he was concerned the study's price tag could be higher than anticipated and he didn't want to spend $1 million for a plan that would "just sit on the shelf." He also said he felt the plan was "excessive" for Spring Hill's needs.
"This smells and feels like just another expensive piece of bureaucracy," he said.
Whittenburg said he was more confident in city staff than hiring outside professionals.
Mitchell said past similar studies did not accurately predict where or how the city has grown. Hull said although he is for planning, he found the cost estimate of the project "disturbing" while Wurth said she felt the project would ultimately lead to an increase in water and sewer fees for citizens.
Duda, who supported the proposal, said the cost presented to the board was only an estimate. He feels the city should start acting proactively rather than reactively on planning issues.
"To not even pursue down this path — to not see what this would cost — is fiscally irresponsible," Duda said. "Typically, we spend more time and money in the long run when we don't do these studies."
Peace and Quiet
Board members voted 6-2 to approve the first reading of an ordinance changing the city's peace and quiet ordinance to allow construction on Sundays during certain hours and times of the year. Graham, Hudson, Hull, Mitchell, Whittenburg and Wurth voted in favor of the measure, while Williams and Duda voted against.
The change was proposed by Whittenburg, who said several contractors and laborers had contacted him about being unable to work and earn a living in the city because bad weather conditions prevented them from working on weekdays and Saturdays.
"I had one woman tell me she had never been on food stamps in her life, but she had to go on food stamps this winter because she wasn't able to work," Whittenburg said.
Whittenburg's proposal would permit work between 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Sundays between Nov. 1 and April 30. He said he further intends to amend the ordinance to allow work on holidays with the exception of New Years Day, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Williams and Duda both said they felt allowing construction on Sundays only in certain months was "confusing" and felt an "all or nothing" approach would be better.
Duda said in his experience most construction workers ignore the city's peace and quiet ordinance until citizens call to complain.
Parks and Recreation Commission
A proposal from Mayor Rick Graham to add a citizen and an alderman position to the city's Parks and Recreation Commission failed 4-4 with Graham, Hull, Whittenburg and Williams in favor and Duda, Hudson, Mitchell and Wurth against the measure.
Graham said he felt it was important to have more citizens on the board. Whittenburg agreed the board couldn't "have too many seats at the table."
Duda said the parks and recreation commission had just been expanded last year, and he never felt left out of the commission even though he was not a member. Wurth said she is concerned two additional members could cause "gridlock" and make the board unmanageable.
In other business, the board:
◆ voted 8-0 to approve new building height limits for the city from 50 feet to 70 feet;
◆ voted 8-0 to approve a right-of-way expansion on Port Royal Road bordering Derryberry Estates;
◆ and voted 8-0 to approve the first reading of a proposed program to allow the city and neighborhoods to partner together to finish area sidewalks.

We improve memory bandwidth and capacity with 200%
The Memory bottleneck problem
Several computer applications today face memory constrains, sometimes due to limited memory capacity (not enough memory), sometimes due to limited memory bandwidth (memory too slow).
How we solve the problem
Most data requested by the FPGA kernel from memory share similarities, trivial and non-trivial.
We have invented novel techniques to detect and keep track of such similarities to utilize memory capacity and memory bandwidth significantly better.
Our technology is lightning fast and increase effective memory bandwidth and capacity on-the-fly.
How we can add value
Several applications today are performance limited by memory bandwidth and capacity:
In financial trading it is paramount to calculate derivative prices before your competitors, requiring the best memory bandwidth to access historical prices in order to determine future prices.
In many machine learning applications it is often critical that the Neural Network can process large volumes of input data fast enough to make reliable and accurate real time decisions.
In several server applications huge volumes of metadata concerning stored information is kept in memory. Such server applications often require Terabytes of DRAM memory.
Let us show you what we can do for your application

Hyderabad, Aug 7 (IANS) Telangana's Industry and Information Technology Minister K.T. Rama Rao received 'rakhi' and a helmet as gift from his sister and Parliament member K. Kavitha.
Kavitha, the daughter of Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, on Monday tied 'rakhi' to her brother and also presented him a helmet as part of her 'Sisters4Change' campaign.
Through her social media campaigns 'Sisters4Change' and 'GiftAHelmet', the Lok Sabha member from Nizamabad has appealed to all sisters to gift a helmet on Rakhsha Bandhan for their brothers' safety.
Voicing concern over death of 400 people in two-wheeler accidents every day across the country, Kavitha said it was because the riders don't wear helmets.
"Let's join hands for our brothers' safety. Set a new trend this Rakhi: Gift your brother a helmet," she appealed.
Kavitha's campaign received support from eminent people from different walks of life.
Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan, Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Smriti Irani, badminton players Saina Nehwal and Jwala Gutta, Indian women's cricket team captain Mithali Raj, former cricketers Virendra Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir supported her campaign.
Sand artist Sudarsan Pattnaik also lent support to the campaign through his art.
Many people backed Kavitha's campaign through their messages on social media. There were also a few messages highlighting the bad state of roads in Hyderabad.
There was a tweet advising the Parliament member to ask her brother-minister to repair roads when she ties 'rakhi'.
"For helmets, she has to send message to lakhs of people but for ensuring better roads, one person is enough," said a citizen referring to accidents caused by poor condition of roads in the capital city.
K.T. Rama Rao, considered number two in the state cabinet, also holds the portfolio of Municipal Administration.

You don't have to install an antivirus in Windows 10 because it has a built-in antivirus known as Windows Defender. This antivirus is quite good in protecting your PC. However, you need to regularly update the antivirus to make sure that it remains active and updated.
Some people prefer running a Malwarebytes alongside the antivirus for maximum protection. With Windows Defender your PC is protected against any computer virus. However, there are other active threats such as spyware, crapware, adware and ransomware that can damage your computer. Malwarebytes not only protects your computer against malware but also cleans up an infected computer. The good news is that there is a Mac version of Malwarebytes to keep your computer safe.
Upon installing Windows 10, you will be having an antivirus program already running to scan any programs you open, provide an interface you can use when performing in-depth scans and download new definitions from windows update. Windows Defender does not slow down your system and it stays out of your way while using your computer, unlike most antivirus programs.
The main question is whether Windows Defender is a reliable antivirus program. The antivirus is good enough especially if it is used alongside an anti-malware program.
It is important to rely on Windows Defender rather than other antivirus programs. This is because most antivirus programs have the following limitations:
- Have browser extensions that make your computer less safe while browsing
- Have loads of unsafe junkware
- Have numerous registry cleaners that are terrible and unnecessary
- Some have the ability to track down your browsing habits so that they can make money
Windows Defender keeps your PC secure without getting into your way or affecting your computer. In addition, Windows 10 have other types of protection that were introduced in Windows 8 to keep you safe. Some of these features include the SmartScreen filter that prevents you from either downloading or running malware. Google Chrome and Firefox, on the other hand, have Google Safe Browsing that helps you block many malware downloads while browsing.

Château-Larcher (Poitou-Charentes region)
The Event
Château-Larcher is situated in the Vienne department in the Poitou-Charentes region in western France. In medieval times, four great fairs (one in each season) were held at Château-Larcher giving the opportunity for jobbers and workers to find work on farms or among artisans. In 2003 L'association E.C.L.A has decided to bring to life one of these festivals, and from then on it is held annually, on the 3rd Sunday of September.
For this event the village of Château-Larcher is reorganized into a theme park and is structured around four main areas where the visitors can experience and enjoy demonstrations of arts and crafts, artisanal food market, flea market and various medieval animations: theatre and dancing, stilt walkers, jugglers and magicians, real swordsmen and fights, equestrian games, crafts and cooking workshops.

1. How long does it take to receive my pet portrait?
For a 4"x4" portrait, please allow 3 weeks to receive your finished painting. For 6"x6" size portraits and larger, please allow a total of 5 weeks*. The first week we'll talk about your preferences, look at photos, and agree on a final "mock up" of your painting. This will allow you to see and approve the final composition and background before I start putting paint on your canvas. Then, I'll need several weeks to actually paint it (yes, original artwork does take time). I'll send you a photo of your almost-finished painting to make sure I nailed that eye color, and got the fur just right. After I make any final changes, I'll varnish your piece and drop it in the mail. Please note that many rounds of revisions or delays in hearing back from you can extend the length of the process.
If you need your painting for a specific date, say a birthday or anniversary, let me know ahead of time, and I'll work with that date in mind.
*Paintings being shipped to Canada can take up to an additional 2 weeks due to delays in Canadian customs.
2. Can I order a canvas size that's not listed on your website?
Absolutely! Let me know if you'd prefer a different shape or size canvas, and I will provide you with a quote.
3. Can I have more than one pet in my painting?
I'm more than happy to paint up to 2 pets on an 11"x14" canvas, and up to three pets on a 16"x20" canvas. Since it takes more time to paint more furry faces, please contact me for a specific quote.
For even larger canvases, I simply charge an additional 50% for each added subject. If you're interested in a painting of multiple pets, please contact me and I will give you more information.
All my paintings are done in a blend of Golden Acrylics, Golden Open Acrylics, and Golden brand mediums. (I know, I got a taste for the good stuff!) They are painted on 3/4-inch profile stretched premium canvases.
Right now, I do not offer any framing options. That said, I do paint and varnish the edges of your canvas so that your painting is ready for your wall right out of the box. If you have a special request for the color of your canvas edges, please let me know!
6. I'm buying a painting as a gift for someone else. Can you gift wrap?
I'm more than happy to gift wrap your finished painting and ship it to any address in the United States or Canada. (International shipping is also available, but please inquire for rates.) I'll even include a little card with your message.
7. How are portraits shipped?
I wrap and package your painting as securely as possible to ensure that it arrives in perfect condition. I ship all artwork as priority mail with tracking through the United States Postal Service. If the worst were to happen, and you were to receive a mangled mess of a package with a mangled mess of a painting inside, I will paint it again and ship it at no cost. This hasn't happened yet, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it never will!
8. Can I get my painting printed on other things like note cards or mugs?
Yes! Before I send you your painting, I scan it so that I always have a perfectly color-matched, hi-res image of your painting on file. That means I can create prints, note cards, mugs, stamps, totes, iphone cases and much more with the image of your pet portrait. Just contact me with your specific request.
9. Do I own the rights to the image of my finished painting?
This is a great question, and one that gets a lot of buzz in the artist community. Once you purchase your painting, that painting is yours! You can take pictures of it, color copy it so you can have a small version of it at your office, whatever you like. All I ask is that you do not sell reproductions of my work.
I continue to own the rights to the scanned image of your painting even after I mail it to you. That means that I can display it on my website or make a print to display at a craft fair.
If you have any questions about my policy, please do not hesitate to ask.

It's been busy month, with me leaving one job and starting a new job tomorrow. This month has also seem a transition in my Dark Eldar, they have gone from the nicer list I took to my last tournament Vanquish to a more toned list that will be ready to complete with the more cut throat tournaments I will be attending later in the year, the first of which being Rapid Strike in Reading.
Last time I blogged I left you at the end of day one of the Vanquish tournament with me on 3 wins. Day two went well against Orks and Dark Eldar to leave me clear top on gaming points after with a total of 4 wins and a draw and maximum bonus objective points. A 4 out of 8 painting score saw me drop to 2nd place overall. Unlike most tournaments Vanquish went much further than the 3 colour painting requirements, but was fair to everyone, it just wasn't an area I paid much attention to in the rules pack, and to be fair there wasn't much else I could have done apart from finish my own razorwing flocks. Although the ones I borrowed were much better painted than mine would be, they stood out as not matching the rest of the army, and lost me 2 painting points for consistant theme/style.
Following Vanquish I played agaist a mate's Grey Knights. I lost the fluffy warriors that was in my Vanquish list for 3 wracks, which allowed me to try out upping the trueborn to 4 strong (all with blasters). Although I liked the extra shots the game was a white wash with me conceeding turn 4 so we could get on with some games of magic with other mates who had arrived. I suffered rubber lance syndrome. I killed one dreadnought all game, and didn't touch any of the other 2 dreadnoughts or 3 stormravens.
The incubi also performed badly again. They only seem to perform against units they should easily beat, such as a combat squad of marines. With this in mine my list for rapid strike has transformed into:
Haemonculus (Venom blade)
3 x 4 Trueborn, all with blasters in Venoms
10 Wracks in a Raider
9 Wyches (incl Hekatrix with Venom blade) in a Raider
2 x 3 Wracks
4 Beastmasters with 4 Krymerae & 6 Razorwing Flocks
2 x Ravager
Razorwing Jetfighter
At 1500 points I'm packing 22 lances, 6 splinter cannons, and 3 assault units in the wyches, large wracks & the beastmaster unit. I finding more and more that if I can't de-mech the enemy (through too many enemy vehicles or just bad luck) then I really struggle. Time will tell if I have gone too far (particularly with the few troops).
May should have more postings, as I settle into my new job (which is over an hour closer than my previous one), and I have less panic painting for tournaments to do.

Sometimes a slightly higher amount of miles is temporarily charged from your Etihad Guest account. This happens when the merchant's payment system temporarily charges a 'test amount' from your Reward Card (in most cases, around 1 USD) to verify the validity of the card. When this is the case, the 'test amount' will be refunded to your Etihad Guest account (in miles), once the merchant has settled the purchase amount. This usually happens within a couple of days, but can take up to a week. The most well-known merchants that apply this temporary 'test amount' charge are Amazon.com and iTunes.

- Car rental companies and hotels which do not allow prepaid cards.
- Music or video stores where, due to country-specific copyright licenses, merchants restrict the usage of credit or prepaid cards not issued in the domestic market.
- Reward Cards are currently issued in Switzerland, therefore your card may be declined by a merchant that does not accept credit or prepaid cards, which are not issued in the domestic market.
No, Reward Card cannot prevent your Etihad Guest Miles from expiring, unless you spend them before the expiration date. Remember that Reward Card lets you spend your miles at over 30 million outlets worldwide, so there are plenty of opportunities to use them before they expire.
In case of charge backs, declined transactions or returns, your miles will be refunded to your Etihad Guest account after the merchant prepares and completes the refund process on your card. Depending on the merchant, it can take from 2 to 14 business days.
No, there is a single fixed loading fee of around USD 0.99, irrespective of the amount being loaded.
When shopping with merchants such as Amazon or EBay, please proceed with your transaction as soon as your Reward Card is loaded and extend the expiry time for another 24h. This is to avoid the transaction from getting cancelled, due to the fact that these merchants often take up to 48h after checkout to charge your card.

I really enjoyed the Ferry Building Market Place. Which reminded me of a clean more expensive version of Pike's Place Market in Seattle... I like them both... but I had to resist the urge to buy things at this one... darn limited packing space!
Ok this is just to be mean to Uber... and to make me laugh. We had a fantastic lunch at Ferry Plaza Seafood and I was 'bugging' him trying to figure out the camera.... he should have thought about that face before making it!
The Bay Bridge and Treasure Island
Isn't he adorable in his little uniform? I should have thought to have someone get our picture together... as I am pretty sure that he will never be talked into getting into this uniform again! Our evenings consisted of public transportation and a LOT of walking. Which was a blast I don't think I have ever hurt as bad as I did after 3 days of walking there.
Turning around the cable car at the Powell/Market Turntable.
I can't even imagine trying to walk these hills, but it makes a pretty picture.
Alcatraz was on our list for this trip but we found out after a very long walk to the ferry terminal that they were sold out for the entirety of my trip there... we had no idea that we should have gotten our tickets in advance... everyone else we talked to seemed to find this weird too... but regardless if this is something you want to do while you're visiting here's your warning. We really didn't care either way so we had no problems about skipping it and headed off to my only must see for the trip.
The Golden Gate Bridge. I've been to San Francisco a lot and had yet to actually make it anywhere near this bridge, so I am happy to say I have now checked that off!
Alcatraz from afar
Here's Ubers and my go to restaurant. I know there is a lot of good food in San Fran but we usually come here when we get the chance to visit. If you go get the Tirimisu.... amazing!
Since we had nothing in particular planned we went up to the Coit tower one evening. There is a bus that takes you to the top of this hill... a bus that we couldn't seem to find a stop for... which was ridiculously irritating considering we kept watching buses come down from the tower and never saw a single one heading up there... so since we were so close we decided to walk... ahem....this may look like no big deal but this hill is so steep that cars are only allowed to park on a 90 degree angle to the curb. Uber was kind enough to pull me up half of it.
The views from the top are gorgeous. But I would say don't bother to pay to go up into the tower unless it's an absolutely clear day. We went ahead a did since we were there but it was rather pointless since the fog had rolled in we could actually see more from the base of the tower than the top.
I would recommend at least one full day devoted to Golden Gate Park. We almost went here instead of the coit tower and it would have definitely been more worth our time. We spent a few hours bumming around here on my last day and it was gorgeous. Beautiful walking parks and there are quite a few museums/gardens/conservatory...etc. to chose from. We just went for all the free stuff since we were having to drive back to Sacramento that night and didn't have time to do more.
