I'm looking for a new server. If you have a slot for a disc priest, or know of someone who does, please holler! Here's what I'm looking for, although nothing is set in stone:
- Raid days: 3-day raiding schedule, 5-day attitude.
- Raid times: I'm an east coaster, so raid times would have to work for my evenings.
- Server: Transfer expected.
- Faction: I won't say never to Horde. But it would be hard to imagine.
Best way to get in touch is via in-game email.

The Carib language is written using the following characters:
Vowels:a e i o u y
Consonants:j k m n p r s t w
In loanwords the following consonants may also occur:b d f g h
A characteristic phenomenon in the Carib language is the reduction or loss of a syllable in lots of words and even in some affixes. When a syllable is lost or reduced, usually, a glottal stop (preceding j m n r w) or the sound h (preceding k p s t) may be heard. In writing, that remnant is indicated by a grave accent. In order to accommodate usage of this online dictionary without the use of a special keyboard layout or additional software, for the purposes of search matches accented and non-accented vowels are considered equivalent. In other words, if you type nana, both nana and nàna should appear.

A widow living in a rural village gives up everything to ensure her children get the opportunities she was never given. Through times of hardship and penury, her children grow up to be strong, grounded individuals and deliver all their gratitude in verse.
This is the story told in the song Chheam Pich (Diamond's Blood), the masterpiece that catapulted songwriter Sok Chanphal to fame.
Sung by Chorn Sovannareach, the song was produced by the Hang Meas Production Company, one of Cambodia's largest music firms.
"Diamond's Blood was the first song I wrote for Hang Meas, and it really solidified my desire to be a lyricist," Sok Chaphal says.
Sok Chanphal has worked for Hang Meas since 2009 and has written the lyrics for more than 80 songs, most recently Krouk Chhor (Stand Up), sung by Ouk Sokunkanha.
In an interview with LIFT, Sok Chanphal said he drew on his experiences, his emotions and his imagin-ation in formulating the lyrics for his songs.
"I carry around a notebook where I jot down all the little facts and happenings I come across in my day-to-day life, such as when I meet new people or hear a funny story," he said. "Later, I will draw on these notes for inspiration."
Watching movies and listening to loads of music were also essential for fuelling the creative process, Sok Chanphal continued.
Sok Chanphal normally does his writing in a calm setting, concentrating on placing himself in the shoes of the characters he writes about.
"I spend only a few hours writing the actual lyrics of any given song," he said. "But I can spend whole afternoons, even multiple days, brainstorming what I'm going to write about."
Writing lyrics could be broken down into a step-by-step process, he said. First, he listens attentively to a song's melody to discern the emotional cadence his lyrics will take on. Then he begins brainstorming the song's content, writing whatever comes to mind.
"The last step is to carve my writing into actual lyrics, making the words rhyme and the rhythm consistent," he said.
Before he became a lyricist, Sok Chanphal published three short novels in consecutive years: Gentleman's Love (2009), Winter Love (2010) and The Tale of the Lamp (2011). Luckily for us, he's chosen to put his linguistic talents to use as a songwriter.

At first light this morning, observers saw a second egg in the nest! The female occasionally leaves the eggs for short periods to eat but often the male is in or near the nest box while she is away."
Exciting, now there are two eggs. We will look for another possible egg in a couple of days. Go Boise Peregrine Falcons!

"Now the LORD God had formed out of the ground all the beasts of the field and all the birds of the air. He brought them to the man to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds of the air and all the beasts of the field..." Genesis 2:19-20a (NIV)

The Family's Role in a Child's Development
"The family is profoundly important to the developmental, emotional and cognitive growth of a child," says Tamara Gold, a New York psychotherapist and parenting coach. "A child will learn about relationships, manners, self-esteem, worth and loyalty, all by watching and participating in family."
Whew -- this puts a lot of pressure on families to get it right, but don't worry. You don't have to be a super parent to raise emotionally healthy kids. Every parent makes mistakes, and so does every child. Effective families learn from mistakes, work together and keep trying.
A child first learns about right and wrong in the family. Modern parents face many challenges in teaching values, says Dr. Michael Osit, author "Generation Text: Raising Well-Adjusted Kids in an Age of Instant Everything" and a clinical psychologist in Warren, New Jersey. "With children as young as 3 years old using the Internet, the access to the world is unprecedented in this generation. Children are bombarded with messages that are often inconsistent with the parents' values and behavioral standards for their kids." Committed and involved parents can strengthen a child's desire to make good choices. Parents teach about values first by living those values. Children learn much more from what you do than what you say. Parents can also teach about values by sharing family stories, setting boundaries and serving others.
RELATED: Fun Games That Keep Your Family Fit
Consistency and Security
"Family life is where the child spends most of his or her learning time," says Jennifer Little, an Oregon-based psychologist and teacher who works with learning-challenged students. "School counts, but home is more lasting over the years. It is where the closest relationships build and allow us to express ourselves (for good or ill). This does not mean that 'peace and harmony' need to be constant. Children need to learn about disagreements and how to handle conflict. The most important support parents can give their children is consistent structure to the daily routines of life. That structure and consistency gives the child security."
Coping Skills
"Parents model how to handle emotions when they react to their own feelings," says Heidi Smith Luedtke, a psychologist in northern Virginia and the author of "Detachment Parenting: 33 Ways to Keep Your Cool When Kids Melt Down." She advises that "parents can teach kids about emotions by giving them specific emotion words to describe their feelings. Studies show that labeling feelings with words helps to decrease distress and makes it less likely that an angry person will act on his or her anger. Words help us make the shift from reacting to responding."
RELATED: In Celebration of the Family Road Trip
"Families play an enormously important role in kids' social and emotional development," says Smith Luedtke. "In addition to being your child's first teacher, as a parent, you are also his personal coping consultant." Nurturing family relationships lay the foundation for all other relationships. Through these experiences, children learn to trust others and seek out friendship and comfort. These early lessons pave the way for satisfying personal relationships later.

Medicare Set-Asides
At times, negotiating the payment of future medical bills can be an essential component of a favorable settlement. If a plaintiff has adequate insurance to cover future medical bills, or if the individual has received a sufficient monetary settlement to be used for those expenses, the federal government may not allow Medicare payments to be distributed for healthcare that is "related" to the tort.
However, in the event that the plaintiff's funds are exhausted, Medicare may then be responsible for covering any additional expenses for future injury or illness related to the lawsuit. Attorneys may choose to advise their clients receiving Medicare benefits to "set aside" settlement proceeds in order to ensure funds are available for "related" healthcare.
Federal law requires that Medicare not pay for medical services related to a lawsuit when the award includes funds for future medical expenses, until all such funds are properly expended. In other words, Medicare becomes the secondary payer to the settlement or award, and if the burden of healthcare is shifted to Medicare, by law, their interest must be protected.
What a Structured Settlement Planner Can Do to Help You
To create a proposal with a recommended allocation amount, a MSA specialist will evaluate the total costs of future medical care and review the plaintiff's medical history, pre-existing conditions, current treatment methods, physician statements, life expectancy, and other factors.
To obtain approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), you'll also need to furnish all settlement documents and signed releases from the plaintiff. If the plaintiff's medical condition significantly changes, the MSA can be revised. Based on the type of underlying case, a variety of factors come into play that only an experienced settlement planner can handle.
In all situations, it is good practice to educate client regarding what an MSA is, the risks of not setting aside funds and how to administer those funds and to have client sign acknowledgement release. To learn more, contact our planners about your Medicare Set-Aside today.

How Nubian Hair Oasis Founder Donnet Bruce Is Working To Make Her Side Hustle A Full-Time Gig
Are you currently dreaming of ways to quit your job to pursue your dreams of being an entrepreneur? Or are you currently managing a side hustle and looking for ways to transition into working on it full-time? As any entrepreneur will tell you, running a business is no easy feat and knowing the right time to take the leap is crucial.
We chatted with Nubian Hair Oasis founder Donnet Bruce about what it's like running a hair company while still maintaining a full-time job. She shared with us her inspiration for launching a side hustle, daily challenges she faces, how she manages the two responsibilities, and her plans for eventually becoming a full-time entrepreneur. Check out the interview below!
MadameNoire (MN): What inspired you to launch Nubian Hair Oasis?
Donnet Bruce (DB): It was an idea I had for several years. I was disappointed from going to local beauty stores here in Miami, Florida. The customer service wasn't the best. I felt as if the individuals, typically men, behind the counter were just trying to sell something instead of providing customizable options that were good for my texture of hair. I read an article in Essence about the beauty and hair industry and how much Black women spend on their hair. I wanted to start an online store where I was able to provide a really good customer service experience for women.
I'm a woman. I love wearing extensions and wigs. I wanted to provide and source for quality products for women with textured and transitioning hair. I also wanted Nubian Hair Oasis to be a place where women left empowered, inspired, and encouraged.
MN: You also have a full-time job as a Digital Marketing Manager. How does Nubian Hair Oasis fit into your life?
DB: I'm what they call a multi-passionate entrepreneur. Prior to me getting into this corporate job over a year ago, I was freelancing. My background is in integrated marketing; I have a Masters in that. I've worked with different brands developing marketing strategies, public relations campaigns, social media campaigns, etc. Now, I'm working as a digital marketing manager for a major automotive group in the Southeast. That is my 9-5. On nights and weekends, I work at building and operating Nubian Hair Oasis.
I am the main person working on the company. I have an associate who is a really good friend of mine that helps out with social media. I'm working to change that. There are so many different facets and divisions within Nubian Hair Oasis. There are so many ideas I have to take the company to the next level. I will be looking for talent to help.
MN: What are some of the challenges you face while growing your company?
DB: I'm not going to sugarcoat it. It's very challenging and exhausting. One thing that helps me is remaining in a positive state of mind. For example, when I wake up in the morning, I wake up with positive thoughts. I talk to God. I visualize myself in a year or two or what I will be doing in my life after the corporate world. I've gotten so used to that, as soon I wake up in the morning, my mind clicks. Everything that is happening right now is for a reason. Any job that I have or take helps me.
Yes, I could be operating Nubian Hair Oasis full-time; however, this is where I am right now. I do what I have to do during the day for my company and it really helps me get through the day. I know that everything that I am doing is setting me up for the next big thing in my life. Staying focused helps with those challenges and beating the exhaustion. Another challenge was having the time to take on and do everything. There are major roller coaster days.
Trying to find an honest manufacturer and supplier was a challenge. In the beginning, I took the time to vet several suppliers and manufacturers. I spent quite a bit of money ordering samples and taking the word of a manufacturer that said their hair was good quality and human hair. I'm all about quality. The fact that I would spend a lot of money to get the hair and have to send it back to the supplier – that was a project within itself. I took the time to pause on promotion and find the perfect supplier and build better business relationships overseas.
My goal is to travel overseas. I want to spend some time with my makers. I am always looking for ways to improve product. I want to spend time with my manufacturers and make sure what they are producing is Nubian Hair Approved.
MN: How do you manage juggling a full-time job and being an entrepreneur?
DB: I wake up earlier, especially if I have urgent to-dos and tasks. It's more quiet and serene at that time versus leaving the 9-5, hustling through traffic, getting home, having to make dinner, and trying to get back into that hustling mode.
On weekends, you can find me at a coffee shop or somewhere in Miami – headphones in, working on inventory, a new collection, or answering customer emails. Also on Saturday, I fulfill orders.
I put everything in my calendar. I even put my 9-5 schedule. I designate days when I work for Nubian Hair Oasis. I use the Passion Planner – which is a calendar and journal in one. It's filled with good quotes and milestone evaluations.
MN: What's been the hardest part about keeping Nubian Hair Oasis in business while still having a 9-5 job?
DB: Finances. I'm funding my business on my own. I pay for marketing, shoots, inventory, etc. I don't have any major complaints because it's something that I wanted to do.
MN: Do people at your job know that you have your own company?
DB: I believe in operating with integrity. I don't want my bosses to think that I am on the job trying to sell and promote. Once I leave, that's when I turn into Nubian Hair Mode. I have let a couple coworkers know that I operate and run Nubian Hair Oasis, but you don't want your boss or employer to feel like there is something else taking you away from doing the job or that you are heavily promoting your company too much on their time. There are some companies that encourage their employees to share their side hustle. I've worked for one before. If you're in a setting where you know it's not encouraged, keep it private.
MN: What plans are you putting in place so that you can run Nubian Hair Oasis full-time?
DB: Save. You should always have your exit strategy account going. As you get paid, continue saving. You'll know for a fact that if you decide to resign, you have cushion.
Set a goal. If there's a date that you want to leave, set it and post it by your bed or night stand. Do everything you have to do to prior to that date. That includes getting more sales, gaining more customers, marketing and promoting more.
Always meet and network with people. I just spoke at the New Orleans Hair Expo for Essence Festival. I met so many women there and got sales. Continue getting the word out about your business. Use social media. That will help make it a little bit easier when you decide to leave your job.
MN: What's the best piece of business advice you've received?
DB: Just the other day I was talking to a friend who is heavy in the tech scene, has opened businesses and runs a few companies. She told me I cannot do it on my own. You need a team of ninjas/superstar people who are going to help you take your company to the next level. As I grow I delegate, and if I'm not strong in a certain area I make sure I outsource those tasks instead of spending a slew of hours on something and the end result may not even be to my liking or match the brand.
Give tasks to someone who can knock them out. Pay them and keep it moving. Learn the art of building a team. I believe in my vision and mission to take Nubian Hair Oasis to the next level. As a CEO and creative director, I oversee so many different areas. I oversee branding, marketing, PR, operations, inventory…having a strong solid team will help.
MN: How do you respond to those who think you aren't qualified to run a hair company?
DB: My background is in integrated marketing, experiential marketing, branding, and social media. There may be questions that arise. People [may think], "Donnet is not a hairstylist. What does she know? Why should I trust her?" It goes back to why I wanted to do this. I love hair, styling, and makeup. I know quality. I really care about making sure women go out into the world with something that they are happy with and looks good. I love protective styling and rocking extensions, especially being a natural now. Eventually, I do want to open up a storefront. We need that in South Florida — a Black-owned beauty supply store.
When I have my customers send me emails praising the fact that they loved the hair during vacation and went on a romantic getaway, and everyone is complimenting them on their looks, that makes me feel good. It makes me think about why I even started in the first place. Everything that you do in life sets you up for the next chapter. I probably didn't even realize how branding and marketing would help me. It helped me establish the logo, feel, and colors — everything about Nubian Hair Oasis.
[Not feeling qualified] was one of the reasons I put [starting a business] off for so long. It's a personal thing – one of those things where you are talking yourself out of something. You're your worst critic or enemy. Year after year, the idea would come to me. I'd always push it off and say, "Naw, I went to school for this. This is the path I should be on. What are you talking about?" Even talking to friends, I was like,"No, I can't do that. That's not what I went to school for. I ain't no hair stylist." It's a testament to doing what's in your heart. Do what you want to do and love to do.

As much as we'd like it to be true, security is not all about ciphers; it's also about physical security, the human factor, and an often overlooked area called side channels.
Physical Security
We all know that you need a password to keep a computer secure, right? But what happens when the hard drive is stolen? Your data can walk right out the door, that's what!
But even the transmission of secret keys and plain text is an issue. For instance, a keystroke logging program can easily intercept all the passwords you type. So you want to make sure that such a program never gets onto your computer.
With some cipher text, the more you get of it the easier it is to decode it. While this usually describes not-so-good security, things like feedback shift register xor cipher techniques are still employed in stream ciphers. To combat this, the feedback shift register must be re-initialized periodically to prevent the code from being broken. This is usually done by using a more secure encryption technique, like an RSA public-key cryptosystem.
But the best thing would be to make the transmission un-interceptable. This leads to the use of quantum key cryptography.
The Human Factor
The mobile computing revolution didn't invent the need for accessing your data externally, but it did make it a lot more common. So we use passwords to protect our data.
Passwords are secret keys that are possible to remember. But humans are frail and forgetful and so often they use passwords that are easy to guess. Ones they can't forget. Like 12345. I talk about just how insecure these kinds of passwords are in my first post on hackers.
But humans are always doing dumb, insecure things, like leaving doors unlocked or ajar, leaving a key under the flower pot, or leaving the keys to the car behind the visor. This kind of behavior happens out of force of habit to some people and represents a massive security breach.
But the most powerful kinds of attacks are called social engineering attacks.
Side Channels
This is the most interesting kind of insecurity, because it really describes an indirect attack.
One side channel is comprised of signals emanating from a device like an LCD screen. The video signals are generally leaked out and can be intercepted and reconstructed for spying on the device. For CRTs, a fellow named Wim Van Eck demonstrated in 1985 that he could display on a TV monitor the contents of a CRT screen, captured from hundreds of meters away, just by tuning into the video frequency emanations. The technique, known as Van Eck phreaking, can work on any display hardware.
When it comes to radio frequency (RF) emanations, a standard, known as TEMPEST since the 1960s, covers the techniques and methods used in shielding devices and components from being surveilled in this way.
Simple things like wi-fi are easily broken into, in a process called wardriving. There are published approaches for how to crack WEP and other security protocols used in wi-fi. But other methods can also be used to gain the password. Once the wi-fi is accessed, then anything transported on the wi-fi is also accessible. Google got in trouble for accessing wi-fi from their street view vehicles, but the fact is it is too easy to collect data in this manner. Thus, the mobile computing revolution introduces a whole new set of insecurities.
Another side channel concerned cryptography and this one is a doozy: just by observing the process that is encrypting or decrypting some data, you can infer information about, for instance, the size of the prime numbers used in an RSA public-key cryptosystem. If you can tell how long it takes to divide the public key by a secret key, you can infer some valuable information about the size and bitwise complexity of the secret key. If, when producing a prime number pair, you can determine how long it took to produce it, you can tell a bit about the algorithm used to produce them. Each bit of information is useful in chopping away at the space of all possible answers to the question of what the secret is.
The data you observe about the cryptography process can be power consumption, the timing, or really anything that can be measured externally. With a power consumption curve, you can do differential analysis to get really precise information about how big the multiply was, and even which parts of the multiply are more complicated than others.
And you can also measure thermal and acoustic signatures as well. For instance, by focusing an infrared camera at a chip during a certain computation, you can determine which parts of the chip are active and at what times.

Pantoliano, who starred on HBO's series The Sopranos, created the Pepe & Pants line with childhood friend Rich Pepe.
According to the company's website, Pantoliano and Pepe have been friends since the 1950's when they were growing up in the mile square city.
As the story goes, they would talk over a bowl of pasta about how they would one day become successful. Pantoliano went on to acting and Pepe became a chef.
Together they've introduced a line of sauces, using family recipes from their grandparents who emigrated from Southern Italy.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale will benefit charities, including Pantoliano's, "No Kidding, Me Too" organization, which aims to remove the stigma associated with mental illness.
Pantoliano was at the Kings on Shipyard Lane from 10 a.m. to noon today and is heading to the store on River Street from 1 to 3 p.m.

Rumor Mongering: Viola Davis to Play Amanda Waller in Suicide Squad?
Yet another Oscar winner may get on the superhero bandwagon. In what Latino Review calls the "final superhero movie scoop of 2014," the rumor mongerers claim that Viola Davis has officially been cast in the role of Amanda Waller in the upcoming anti-hero/supervillain mash-up Suicide Squad.
This report remains unconfirmed as of this writing, but it was previously reported that Davis, Octavia Spencer and Oprah Winfrey had made the shortlist for the part of Amanda Waller, so it's perfectly plausible. If the report is true, Davis will join Jared Leto as the Joker, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, Will Smith as Deadshot, Tom Hardy as Rick Flag, Jai Courtney as Captain Boomerang, and Cara Delevingne as Enchantress.
Amanda Waller is an antiheroic government agent who is tasked with managing the Suicide Squad, a black ops task force within the government composed of incarcerated supervillains who enter into indentured servitude with the expectation of amnesty. Any of the aforementioned actresses would do a great job, I'm sure, but Davis's career is at an all-time high, and she's already proven that she can play an intimidating, antiheroic character with her acclaimed performance in How to Get Away with Murder.
The Suicide Squad film is expected to be released on August 5, 2016.

All first-time authors begin with a blank page. For Charlotte Rogan, author of The Lifeboat, this is the hardest part. Find out how she overcomes the daunting blank pages and takes her novel to the finish line as we continue the Kobo New Voices in Fiction Week.
Check out The Lifeboat at Kobo.com. And be sure to follow us on Twitter with #KoboNewFiction hashtag
Kobo: What was the inspiration of The Lifeboat?
Charlotte Rogan: I found the germ of the story in my husband's old criminal law text, which included two 19th century cases where shipwrecked sailors were put on trial after being rescued. I was particularly intrigued by the moral dilemmas involved in survival situations and by the idea that the law of society isn't quite suited to people facing extreme situations and scarce resources. Not too long after that, the character of Grace Winter came to me and started telling me her story.
Kobo: What were some of the challenges you encountered while writing The Lifeboat?
CR: I am not a very organized writer, and the story will shoot off in all sorts of directions—some productive and some not. There comes a time when I have to wrestle these wild strands into a coherent whole. This requires rigorous pruning and shaping, as well as writing a certain amount of connective tissue to make sure that everything fits nicely together. Besides the very beginning of a project, when there is only the blank page and a vague idea, this is the hardest phase for me.
Kobo: How was it to become Grace?
CR: There are little pieces of me in all of my characters. This might manifest as a point of view or an interest or a situation a character finds herself in. While there is nothing autobiographical about the story of The Lifeboat, I did grow up in a family of sailors, so I know what it is to be fearful of falling overboard in a storm.
Kobo: What was it like to finally finish writing the book?
CR: The process of bringing a book to publication made me realize that a manuscript is "finished" several times. For me, these included: the point I considered it finished enough to send to my literary agent; the point he and I considered it finished enough to send to prospective publishers; the point when I had successfully addressed the suggestions of my Little, Brown editor; and the point when the manuscript had been through the copyediting process and was headed to press. Each time, I felt that the manuscript was as good as I could get it, and each time, I felt a huge sense of satisfaction.
Kobo: What books do you feel influenced you the most when writing The Lifeboat?
CR: It would be impossible to include here all of my writing influences for truly, it was the books of other writers that taught me how to write. Here are a few of the books that knocked my socks off for one reason or another and that I still return to for inspiration, but there are others that were equally important to me.
- The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Life is Elsewhere by Milan Kundera for quick shifts in scene and economical characterization
- Hunger by Knut Hamsun and The Victim by Saul Bellow for psychological depth
- The Mountain Lion by Jean Stafford for surprising characters and stunning language
- Despair by Vladimir Nabokov for claustrophobic point of view;
- Stories in an Almost Classical Mode by Harold Brodkey for depth of moment and language;
- An Experiment in Love by Hilary Mantel for language and structure;
- A Distant Episode by Paul Bowles and Waiting for the Barbarians by J.M. Coetzee for human brutality and violence.

Southern Most Point Marker
The Southern Most Point Marker is one of Key West's most popular attractions. Throughout the day you'll find people standing in line ready to snap their photo standing at the southern most point in the United States.
The marker, actually built to resemble a buoy, stands at the furthest south tip of Key West. The monument notes that Cuba is only 90 miles away, and just to its right, a plaque commemorates the brave Cubans who have drowned trying to get to America, "The Leader In Democracy." In the blocks around the Monument are numerous other "Southernmosts" -- hotel, house, restaurant, etc.
On the top of the monument is painted the logo of The Conch Republic. Twenty years ago, Key West, seeking to enhance its reputation as a free-wheeling, fun-loving, party without consequence kind of town, seceded from the United States, declaring itself The Conch Republic. Every April, a ten-day party celebrates the event.

You Can Put Lipstick on a Man…By Glinda
But it doesn't necessarily mean he will look good.
However, that wasn't the case at the latest Vivienne Westwood show, where all the male models with their perfect hair and bone structure, wore lipstick. Most of them sported deep red, but kudos the makeup artists for matching the scarf on the skull sweater outfit perfectly.
At Tom and Lorenzo, the site where I lifted the pictures from, a bunch of commenters are freaking out about the whole lipstick thang.
For whatever reason, men in makeup gives me not a moment of pause, especially at something like a fashion show. But that could be due to the fact that I was born and raised in Southern California, and there are plenty of weird things to see here, to which men with lip rouge pale in comparison.
The entire point of a fashion show is to get people talking and push boundaries and all that. Men in lipstick is hardly groundbreaking.
Men wore makeup for a very long time, and only in the past hundred years or so has it gone out of fashion. Well, I'm always one for equal opportunity beauty and I think it's just a matter of time before the pendulum swings back the other way.
There are certainly worse things in the world than men wearing makeup.
Those drop-crotch pants, for one.

Managing asynchronous dependencies with JavaScript can be a nightmare. But there's a better way. It's called Fetch Injection.
I've long been inspired by the work of Steve Souders. In 2009 he published an article titled Loading Scripts Without Blocking, which I first became aware of and studied during my time at Orbitz – where every millisecond a user waited for the page to load had a measurable impact to the business.
Steve's work was instrumental for the Web development community, and even inspired Nicholas C. Zakas to write Loading JavaScript without Blocking the same month Steve's book Even Faster Web Sites was published.

PARIS, France (CNN) -- French investigators have ended the second phase of their search for the flight recorders from Air France Flight 447, the French air accident investigation agency BEA said Thursday.
Investigators pore over wreckage of Air France flight 447 which crashed killing 228 people on June 1.
Flight 447 went down June 1 in the Atlantic Ocean in stormy weather as it flew from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Charles de Gaulle airport here, killing all 228 people on board.
BEA said in a statement that the second phase of the search for the wreckage and the data and voice recorders from the plane "has just been completed."
It said that France's oceanographic ship "Pourquoi Pas?" -- which carries specialized exploration and intervention vehicles, and had been leading the searching for the flight recorders -- was expected in Dakar, Senegal, later Thursday.
The agency said the BEA would gather a team of international investigators over the next few weeks to analyze the collected data and to discuss the requirements of a third phase. It was not immediately clear when the third phase would begin, and additional details were not given.
The first phase of the search ended July 10. The flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder -- commonly known as "black boxes" -- stop giving out acoustic broadcasts after 30 days. But investigators had decided to continue listening for the "pings" for another 10 days after that.
They hope the recorders will help them determine the cause of the crash.
Debris from the flight recovered from the ocean's surface is being stored in France, authorities have said.
Only 51 bodies were recovered from the crash.

Then got one time, long time ago, I can't remember how was the actual dialogue, my friend misunderstood that Mango is a HE. O.O! I asked her what made her think so. She said your Mango behaviour not gentle-like, tomboy-ish! Oh My! So it made me think...ya...my Mango indeed not that lady-like.
She is not friendly. Absolutely hate strangers. And she bites! And she can bark non-stop for at least 2 hours if she found there's a stranger in the house. I don't know what happened. she was so friendly when she was a puppy. I think the next door's fierce dog was a bad influence to her.
But if you open your heart, and slowly try to be friend with her. She will gradually and happily accept you. Once she's familiar with you, she will be happy to see you around. :-)

Now that it is Summer I thought I would get some of my favorite pictures from spring up to share with you. As always summer brings busy times for me with all of the projects, gardening and two kids that are around here.
This little sweetie just loves her daddy. She always has a smile for him and is currently practicing saying Da Da Da. He makes her laugh and I can tell they are going to have a special relationship.
I thought the chicks were pretty neat too. I have wanted to get some for a really long time and we kind of bought them on a whim. It wasn't really in the plan for the year but it was a fun impulse buy. Later this summer I plan on posting about our garden and I am planning on including pictures of the chicken coop that hubby built for our little ladies.
And of course it wouldn't have been springtime with out some rainboots and some puddle stomping. Of course he just prefered to create is own puddles with the garden sprinkler. That was fine with me because I didn't really want to take him out in the actual rain anyway.

The area of Blue City is 1.5 times larger than that of the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw.
The building's total area is around 185,000 square meters and includes the leased shopping centre area of around 65,000 square meters. Around 33,000 square meters have been allocated to the office complex.
The Blue City experience includes over 200 shops and service points, located on 6 levels ( "–1" to "+4"). The Piotr i Paweł delicatessen, the Centre's supermarket, offers a wide assortment of "ordinary" and more exclusive produce from all over the world. Visitors looking to eat, relax and meet their friends can make use of the offer of twenty five dining facilities.
The Centre occupies a 4-hectare plot of land. Its construction, entirely covered with a glass roof, required 120 000 m3 of concrete; above the atrium, there is a glass dome spanning 36 m.
The Blue City complex houses 1500 parking spaces in a multi-level car park, 600 spaces in a heated, underground car park and up to 400 spaces outside.
Thanks to its large, common indoor area, wide corridors and convenient passageways, Blue City offers one of the most comfortable shopping experiences in Poland.
Blue City is located near Aleje Jerozolimskie, a stone's throw from the so-called Jerozolimskie Business Center.
Every day, close to 80,000 cars pass along Al. Jerozolimskie near Blue City.
An integral part of the investment was the construction of an external car park for customers and an access tunnel to the centre under Aleje Jerozolimskie.

Browse through the latest guest opinions...

"Good stay"Nikita B - Moscow, Russia
I stayed in this hotel on business for two nights. In Istanbul there are many good hotels including those belonging to international chains, but those who invited me chose this hotel. And I can say that it was comfortable stay. Room was OK, clear and enough large, with decent Wi-Fi and large screen TV. Friendly and helpful stuff. One can eat good breakfast in the terrace on the top with a view. One moment was important as I had not enough time - this hotel is very close to the main Istanbul attractions - Grand Bazaar, St. Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc. In conclusion - I think what this hotel is not expensive (I did not pay myself) but quite comfortable and well located.
"Outstanding!"Maria D - Madrid, Spain
This beautiful hotel has many opportunities for its guests such as the location, the terrace view, clean room, friendly stuff etc. You fell like home. You can walk to the important points (Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque, St. Sophia...) The foods are great.
"Best breakfast buffet with view and convenient location"Karsten L - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Great price for small rooms, but clean and service who tries hard to please you, mostly not working due to language barrier. But oh what a might breakfast on top of the roof! I was very confortable walking, even to Haga Sofia and Blue mosque, some might get afraid at night since you turn around a darker corner from the main well light avenue, but I NEVER felt insecure even at late hours.
"Pleasant hotel"addoulti - Sfax, Tunisia
I spent three days in Antik from 26 to 29 Dec and it was a pleasant stay. Very good location very close to the main istanbul attractions, friendly staff and nice varied breakfast. The room was a bit small but acceptable. Free wi fi and a nice café with comfortable stay. We liked everything and we would come back very happily.
"Excellent customer service"Hacerjonessd - Birmingham, United Kingdom
The location is very good, it is close to many touristic attractions such as Sultan Ahmet, Grand Bazaar, Blue Mosque and more.. I recommend the Cisterna Restaurant in the hotel, it originates from Byzantine era and excellent service.The room was clean.
"The best time of my life"Sanela H
Beatiful hotel, very nice staff,helpfull and decent. For an example, I had to recive an e mail and they gave me their adress and printed that email. Very nice. Rooms are ok. Most important thing is that the room was clean. Food was amazing and they had a great offer at the breakfast. The terrace on the top where we had breakfast was outstanding...and the view was breath taking!!! Location of the hotel couldnt be better...it was close to everything that we wanted to visit. I will visit again because simply it was amazing. All thumbs up!

He was right, :).
Black Hawk is a small gambling city here. We don't gamble (I'd rather spend my money at the mall) but it was nice to visit and walk around.
I hope you liked the pictures!
|Free tram goes around the city.
|This hotel looks menacing in black & white, don't you agree?
|Some fall colors start appearing.
On the way back we saw a nice river by the rocks. We pulled over to take some pictures. Unfortunately there are electrical poles everywhere, so they kinda ruined the shot. But the river still looked nice, I think :).

http://www.tgbrews.com/beer.html#igw All they do is make great beer, and this just helps add to their growing legend. To be honest, when they first started out, I kind of scoffed at their name and reason behind it. I thought this tiny brewery in Iowa has no business going after the "big guys." Boy was I wrong. Clark and the gang have done nothing but produce amazing beer, and have truly made a name for themselves in the craft beer world. They've proven they can brew terrific beer, grow at a reasonable pace, and have one of the best marketing plans in the business. People just can't get enough of them, and with good reason. Cheers to TG, and another fantastic IPA in IGW.
http://westobeer.com/styles/ This is their Smoked Red Ale. It already had a non believer in me, as I don't particular care for smoked beers or Red Ales. Again, I was forced to rethink my preconceived notions, as this beer was incredibly enjoyable. Just a hint of smoke, great malty balance, and very smooth. I was extremely impressed with this brew. Now, they just need to start distributing to my side of the state!
I have a private tour set up up with on of my favorite breweries in the whole world. Tune in next time to read all about it!

Continually listening to and understanding how your patients feel about the service that has been delivered to them is pivotal to maintaining high standards of care. The NHS Institute for Innovation and Improvement have detailed an essential guide to transforming patient experience. The guide is based on the findings of a research study entitled "What Matters to Patients". One of many key recommendations made is to dedicate resources to capture, understand and use patient experience, through storytelling (qualitative) and quantitative data.
A hospital care setting collects patient experience data through surveys, PAL units, Just a Minute (JAM) cards and friends and family test. Furthermore, hospital personnel including chief executives, sit down with patients to have a one on one chat. From this, it can be said hospitals are using a wide range of techniques to collect both quantitative and qualitative information.
Such techniques are great but are rendered useless if there is not in place an efficient method to collect the patient data and churn out insights that are actionable. Document Capture Co have worked on many patient experience projects such as Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs) and here is how we can add value to your patient experience programs.
The design of patient experience questionnaires must be user friendly. Patients completing questionnaires are from different backgrounds and ability levels therefore a "one size fits all" approach is not appropriate. Our expert patient survey designers, aside from creating a neat, tidy and user-friendly survey, can assist in delivering flexibility with surveys. These include surveys in different languages, text size and colour schemes, each potentially different to cater for a specific patient profile.
In addition to paper, there are options to deploy patient surveys in a web-based format, on tablets, mobile devices and kiosks or a specific combination of all. Moreover, we can advise on the best solution given your specific circumstances. This is because we do not have "out of the box" solutions, rather a bespoke solution is developed case by case.
There are two options to capture data from paper surveys. The first is an intelligent scanning methodology, which uses intelligent data capture techniques to extract data from surveys, raw quantitative and qualitative data that is delivered to your electronic system for analysis. The second option is better suited for capturing patient experience data remotely using a digital ink pen. The pen is used as an ordinary pen but is capable of converting handwriting into digital format, the raw data is similarly sent to an electronic system. Read more about the digital ink pen.
All paper forms are digitised and electronically stored, therefore there is no need to physically store the paper. Data from electronic based surveys can be captured with or without an internet connection and amalgamated with patient data collected via paper, thus all data is present in one central location.
If you are looking for an analytical tool that provides more value than an Excel spreadsheet or statistical software programmes, our patient experience dashboard fits the bill. The dashboard is interactive and converts the raw data into actionable insights. The patient data dashboard is capable of providing analysis of specific and broader data sets whilst being able to narrow data based on certain conditions such as date ranges. For a bespoke and all-encompassing patient experience data management system, look no further.

British taxpayers fork out £45m in foreign aid to paradise islands that charge NO TAX
Under a controversial new law introduced by the Prime Minister, Britain is legally obliged to spend 0.7 per cent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) on foreign aid spending.
However, critics of the foreign aid commitment reacted with fury after it was revealed millions are being handed over to countries that set minimal or even zero tax rates.
This is despite the nation - which has an estimated population of less than 15,000 - charging no income, capital gains or any other form of direct taxes on residents or companies, with it described as a "zero-tax jurisdiction".
In total, 13 countries included on the tax haven blacklist received £45million from the Department for International Development (DfID) in 2013, the most recent year for which aid spending figures are available.
These nations are Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Belize, Grenada, Liberia, Maldives, Marshall Islands, Mauritius, Montserrat, Panama, Seychelles, St. Vincent & Grenadines and Vanuatu.
John Christensen, director of the Tax Justice Network, blasted Britain's foreign aid spending in tax havens as "incoherent".
He told the newspaper: "Donor countries need to pay far more attention to whether aid-recipient countries are making sufficient effort to tax their wealthy citizens and tackle corporate tax avoidance.
"Tackling tax dodging is an important step towards reducing reliance on aid and external debt."
"We need to rethink our entire approach to aid and ensure it is going to the world's poorest and making their lives demonstrably better."
A spokesperson for the Department for International Development said countries where its aid was directed tended to be very poor.
She also said the UK has an international obligation to assist economic development in British Overseas Territories, which include Montserrat.
