By Amy Turner, The Courage Tribe Founder
In leading The Courage Tribe I am both teacher and student. This suits me well; when we stop having an openness to learn, we cease being an expert. I lead a weekly inspirational group in Bend, OR called Tribe Tuesday. Recently we were talking about purpose, getting clear, and being in wholeness. Everything in me paused when one person summarized the collective wisdom of the morning with, "Know your wholeness." As the power of those words landed on my ears, they humbly pierced my heart.
I felt a shift in my whole self. In the hustle of life I'd temporarily moved away from my wholeness, and that powerful, simple phrase was enough to bring me back.
How does that phrase sit with you?
There is wholeness within each and every one of us. We are brought into ease of wholeness when what we're doing is aligned with the truth of our hearts, aligned with what is right in our bones. It doesn't happen when we are merely appeasing social conditioning, fear, or mind chatter. We have to get quiet to hear our hearts among the noise of everything else around us. Wholeness happens when we live in courage beyond our fears.
When we know something is right, but aren't doing it (or when we know something is wrong and we do it anyway), it tugs at our hearts. We feel broken and things in our lives become blocked. Relationships deteriorate, we become uncreative, life feels grinding and lonely – even in other people's presence.
Feeling broken can come in the form of not speaking up when you know you need to or yelling your head off when grace is what's called for. It can come in the form of gossip, trying to control people, having weak boundaries, judging others. A list of what brings people out of alignment with wholeness is endless. When we feel broken, we become self-reprimanding into a downward spiral – disconnected, depressed, despairing, anxious, addicted. In living from this space, we drag other people down too. We're left wondering why things are difficult and falling apart. We can become so used to feeling broken that it becomes our baseline normal. This is not what we're after.
We have the power to acknowledge this when it happens and change it. We need reminders and each other – we weren't meant to go it alone. We were born to thrive, to help each other and be helped, to love and be loved, to use our talents and receive the talents of others – to be connected in our jobs, in our homes, in our communities. We are human and err often, so we need to pause for humble self-checks often. Movement between being in wholeness and feeling broken happens all throughout life, but wholeness is there to return to. The trick is getting back on track as often as we can. It takes awareness, openness, humility, forgiveness, and courage at least.
Personally, I have to pause far more often than my social conditioning tells me I should. As a result, I sometimes push until I'm out of balance, stagnant, uncreative, and short with myself and my kids. When I heard the words "know your wholeness," I knew I'd shifted into this out-of-balance state fueled by shame and a need to get things done. I believe in walking the talk, so it was time for honest self-awareness, to forgive, adjust, and courageously move back to wholeness. Instead of pushing through tasks, I practiced saying, "Let it be." I connected with my kids and sought time with old and new friends.
Important achievements usually happen through consistent action over a period of time and they don't have to come at the cost of what we love in life. Within this framework there is time for a balanced, well lived, connected life. It's not enough to say we believe in something and we'll live it someday. We have to catch ourselves and do the work of living it now. When we are courageously in line with wholeness our lives become in flow.
Know your wholeness and courageously live it.

Seton Hall has many safety programs, including a transportation service known as the CASE van. While the CASE van was created to help students, some are discouraged by its lack of availability.
According to a broadcast e-mail sent to students on Sept. 31, the CASE van, which is operated by Public Safety and Security, is available for students to utilize when traveling off-campus.
The e-mail encourages students to use this service, stating, "Whenever possible take the SHUFLY shuttle, the CASE van or public transportation."
However, a second e-mail was sent to students on Oct. 1 in order to clarify some of the rules for using the CASE van.
"Please be aware that the CASE van, which is operated by Public Safety and Security, is not an on-call service," the e-mail said.
The rules went on to explain that the CASE van is only available to students from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. and will take students a half-mile from campus to locations that the SHUFLY does not already go to.
Many students were confused about these rules, however, and found them to be irksome.
"I think (the CASE van) is pointless," junior Michael Mozia said, adding that in his freshmen year an upperclassman had told him he could call Public Safety and Security at any time to have the van pick him up.
"I tried to use it once last year…I got home back from New York at like 3 a.m. and they said they don't do that and didn't pick me up," Mozia said.
A common problem seems to be that students have difficulty getting the Van to pick them up.
"I have used it, I was at Pathmark after the SHUFLY had stopped running and they came and got me," sophomore Allison Roddy said. She added that even though the CASE van did come for her, she "had to convince someone to do it."
There also seems to be some confusion about what the rules actually are, even with the e-mail.
"They run from like, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. or something, right?" Mozia asked, "And they go like a mile out?" Mozia and Roddy both said that they think the service can be improved.
"I think they could go farther out, and run later," Mozia said.
However, Patrick Linfante, assistant vice president and director of Public Safety, said that Public Safety is doing the best job it can to ensure the safety of students and cannot provide the CASE service for longer amounts of time than they do currently.
"CASE provides students with safe and convenient transportation. Students traveling to destinations within a half-mile radius of the campus that are not on the SHUFLY route should utilize CASE. They can come to the Public Safety Office, located next to the Ward St. gate," Linfante said.
"Our limited resources and staffing allows us only to provide the current level of service," Linfante said. He explained that the CASE van was created two years ago in order to help safely transport students to destinations around campus.
Linfantes said the hours were created with input from students.
While Linfante stated that the only times the CASE van would be available to students was between the hours of 5 p.m. and 11 p.m., sophomore student Joshua Meyer, who was mugged on the evening of Sept. 29 on Eder Terrace and Wilden Place, said that he recently utilized the CASE van at around 12:30 a.m.
"I went to Public Safety and saw that the van was parked outside, so I figured I'd go in and ask, because what's the worst they could say? No?" Meyer said. "But they said yes and didn't give me a hard time or anything. The driver was really nice."
Linfante said that he was unsure why Meyer was given a ride after the service had ended for the night, but that he would look into it. Meyer, however, feels that "there should not be a time limit on security."

Thinking Of Not Washing Your Hands After Taking A Taxi In New York City? Think Again
Just in case you were one of the 50.6 million visitors to New York City last year, and you happen to be a germaphobe (or have a healthy aversion to the sudden onset of stomach ailments), you may want to think twice about not washing your hands after using a local taxi. New York magazine recently swabbed the door handles and seats of a random sample of New York city taxicabs and sent the samples to the NYU Langone Medical Center microbiology specialist Dr. Philip Tierno to find out what was lurking there.
The results weren't good.
Tierno noted the presence of mold, E. coli, oral organisms (which are found in saliva), and, unnervingly, what was either vaginal or anal yeast. Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermidis were also detected on several backseats. (In fairness, Tierno says that most of the bacteria his lab discovered already exists in or on the human body, anyway.)
Touching your mouth or nose after coming into contact with these microbes can cause a taxi-goer to become infected with toxic-shock symptoms, wound infections and/or severe diarrhea from these microbes, ailments once reserved for those who inexplicably ordered hot dogs from street vendors around the city.
Tierno goes on to note that as a good precaution, just like after you go to the bathroom, visit the doctor's office or shop at an American Apparel store, make sure you wash your hands as soon as possible, don't shirk on the use of hand sanitizer, and avoid touching your face as much as possible (remember Gwyneth Paltrow in Contagion?).

Bruno's host ribbon cutting
Ribbon Cutting at Bruno's Italian Restaurant in Bartlett
Staff, board members and ambassadors from the Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) gathered at the new Bruno's Italian Restaurant – in the old Pig N' Whistle building – at 2740 Bartlett Road in Bartlett Dec. 10
The ceremonial ribbon was cut by owners Marvin Mims and Bruno Russell while surrounded by family, friends and staff members.
Bruno Russell is not new to the restaurant business. He started out working for big chain restaurants including Olive Garden for over 20 years but never lost sight of his dream to have his own Italian restaurant.
Why Italian? Bruno said he has always loved Italian food and the role food plays in the Italian culture of bringing families together. He finally opened his first Bruno's restaurant in Midtown Memphis where he enjoyed serving customers for three years before closing. A few years later, Bruno helped open Evergreen Restaurant from behind the scenes. Many of his previous customers encouraged him to open another Bruno's because they missed his food.
Bruno and his cousin, Marvin Mims, had talked about opening a restaurant within a year or two but decided to speed up the process and look for the perfect location. It was Marvin who thought the old Pig N' Whistle building on the corner of Bartlett Blvd and Bartlett Rd might have potential. Bruno, who had driven by the restaurant for years on the way to church in Bartlett, knew immediately once he walked inside that this was the location for the new home of Bruno's Italian Restaurant.
The restaurant operates with a philosophy of family first and they strive to treat everyone that walks in the door from staff to customers as family. Bruno cites the uniqueness as a fun atmosphere where everyone associated with the restaurant truly cares. He believes whether you're in the restaurant industry or another industry, if you surround yourself with good people, that will make all the difference in your success.
The restaurant offers a wide selection of Italian dishes but also has traditional favorites from burgers and sandwiches to steak and fish. If you're stuck trying to decide from their vast menu, Bruno would recommend what he considers to be his specialty, a dish he created called the Evergreen Chicken, which is over a bed of orzo rice and asparagus and topped with artichoke, mushrooms, olives, spinach, and feta cheese in a garlic cream sauce.

In the early morning of April 9th 1940 the Danish army is alerted. The Germans have crossed the border; Denmark is at war against Europe's strongest army. In Southern Jutland Danish bicycle- and motorcycle companies are ordered out, to against all odds, hold back the forces until the Danish reinforcements can be mobilized. In the fatal hours, we follow second lieutenant Sand and his bicycle company – they will as the first Danish soldiers meet the enemy in combat on April 9th 1940.

Running behind the schedule, as Piggy Bank claims to have their existence back from 2000 but registered their domain on 2nd June 2017. The company's website does not provide any information about the names of the founders and the domain (piggy-bank.io) was registered privately, so there was nothing relevant I was able to find as well.
Alexa Traffic, in addition, reveals that their incarnation or better say that their online connections with users started few weeks back in January itself.
The website further claims that the company is incorporated in UK which is the highly vulnerable as its unregulated and dodgy companies like Piggy Bank use this opportunity to register themselves with UK corporation. The incorporation happened on 6th June 2017 which was right after the domain was registered.
You can find the name of the sole director of the company as Bruce Whatley. But, my research points out that the profile is non-existent.
There is no retailable product or services found on the website of Piggy Bank that was verifiable. If you wish to connect with the company, you need to join their affiliate recruitment program. To join, you need to invest 0.001 BTC. They do have the free membership plan, but that would give you access to the referral commission only.
After all these finding, it would be wise to stay away from Piggy Bank and invest your funds somewhere which is safe and rewarding.
Piggy Bank – Compensation Plan
The affiliates of Piggy Bank are encouraged to invest bitcoin to earn huge profit, at least this is what they advertise on their website.
- Plan 1: You need to invest 0.001 – 4.999 BTC for receiving 3.12% ROI daily
- Plan 2: You need to invest 5 – 7.99 BTC for receiving 3.36% ROI daily
- Plan 3: You need to invest 8 – 12.99 BTC for receiving 4.32% ROI daily
- Plan 4: You need to invest 13 – 100 BTC for receiving 5.28% ROI daily
There is a 7% withdrawal fee for the affiliates, however, no expiry date for the funds invested.
Piggy Bank – Referral Commission
Piggy Bank uses unilevel compensation structure to pay its affiliates the referral commission. In a unilevel structure, an affiliate is placed on the top order and every personally recruited affiliate are placed directly under the affiliate who recruited them.
For example, if the top affiliate recruit more affiliates, they would be placed on level 1, directly under the top affiliate. The affiliates who are recruited by any of the level 1 affiliate are placed on level 2 under that level 1 affiliate and so on. This goes for unlimited rows.
The referral commission is paid till 2nd level of recruitment.
- Level 1: 5%
- Level 2: 2%
Piggy Bank offers Representative level and at this level, the referral commission increases to 7% at level 1 and 3% at level 2. However, they have not provided any qualification criteria for this level on their website.
Piggy Bank – Review
John: There is no way one can get an answer from these folks. I was stuck with the system and when tried to contact them, they raised their arms. This is not acceptable. If you are good at taking money, you should be good at giving it back too.
Rehan: This platform is bogus. I was never able to get through their sign up page. It was a minor problem, but the team made it huge. They keep telling lies and do not do anything that they promise. I assume that the feedbacks that are singing songs for the company are all plotted and not legit.
Conclusion from the above Reviews
These reviews are not fake as they are talking some sense. The ones that have decorated the image of the Piggy Bank, must have been done by the members themselves. How a company that lied about the name of its director should be trusted for any promise further.
Piggy Bank is nothing, but another Ponzi Scheme trying to make its way through the gullible clients which is not something that we have not seen so far.
The Verdict
Lol, they are involved in cryptocurrency mining. Is this the biggest joke of the year? It may be, the year has just started.
If you have reached so far, where is the trail, guys? There is no evidence to prove that the company is involved in mining of cryptocurrency. The only way they are able to pay the affiliates is through affiliate recruitment program. The funds invested by new affiliates are used to pay the existing ones.
This makes Piggy Bank, a Ponzi Scheme. Hence, the platform will collapse sooner or later. Once, there will be not enough recruitment to fill the spaces, the ROI will dry out. The admins may be able to process the funds until the pre decided threshold is reached. After that, everything will go in dark.
The company will stop paying its affiliates and the anonymous admins will run away with the money left with them, enough to cover all the inputs and making them rich.
Because they have not disclosed their identity, they would hide in the darkest place and people will lose money.
Those joining early may get lucky enough to get back their money, but majority of the affiliates will lose money in the hands of these scammers.

Angus Black - S/T (2017)
Fuzzed up and stalking the streets of Finland is Angus Black - a trio of devilish rogues playing stoner doom with psychedelic and occult touches. Earlier this year they introduced themselves to the world with their first release, a live EP titled "Live from the cellar". Now they've committed their tunes to a full-length self-titled studio album and it's ready to cast a shadow on your mind and fill your head with gloom. Angus Black have a definite Uncle Acid feel - the vocals, guitar tone, and general occult vibe all contribute to that - but instead of delving into 70s rock influences the band has doubled down on the stoner doom sound. It's got a long streak of melancholy running through it but the songs are still played with a kind of upbeat swagger so it creates a heavy, downtrodden rock 'n' roll that still feels driven. But for me, the track that stands out the most here is one of the slowest and most dejected: "I'm Yours". It's a 12 minute tale of lament and submission that manages to express this detached passion like a lost soul was flayed and laid bare before your eyes. Angus Black has the good stuff so make sure you're listening! -Brandon

Who: GuideStar USA, Inc.—the leading source of nonprofit information
Where: http://www2.guidestar.org/rxg/news/publications/revocations-april-2011-report.aspx
Why: The IRS is preparing to publish the first list of nonprofits whose tax-exempt status has been revoked for failure to file an annual return (Form 990, 990-N, 990-EZ, or 990-PF) for three consecutive years. The revocations are automatic and mandatory under the Pension Protection Act of 2006.
Publication of the first Nonfiler Revocation List will be a historic event for the U.S. nonprofit sector. As many as 321,000 organizations may be included on this initial list. The revocations will affect not only the nonprofits that have lost their exemptions but also nonprofits whose exemptions remain intact and the donors and foundations that support the revoked organizations.
To bring this issue to the attention of these varied audiences and help them begin to prepare for this sector-changing event, a new GuideStar report is available for free download from the GuideStar Web site.
Written by GuideStar staff, "What Automatic Revocation of Nonprofit Tax Exemptions Means for You: A Review for Nonprofits, Grantmakers, and Donors," concisely but thoroughly:
- outlines the forces driving the revocations;
- analyzes by organization type the nonprofits the IRS has identified as being at risk;

APIA: 18 Nov 2011: A dream set out 35 years ago to unite all the Polynesian ethnic groups was realised yesterday after the leaders of eight Polynesian island countries signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to officiate the union.
Samoa's Prime Minister Tuilaepa Lupesoliai Sailele Malielegaoi, the first Chairman of the Union said that the dream for a united Polynesia was initiated by the late Prime Minister of Fiji, Sir Ratu Kamisese Mara, late King Taufa'ahau Tupou IV of Tonga and the late Head of State for Samoa, Malietoa Tanumafili 11.
"They met only twice and I think that was the end of that, so what we are doing is continuing the dream set out by the late leaders," said Tuilaepa.
The foundation for a Union was already laid but what it lacked was the commitment to set it off. Talks of the Union was raised again in last years Pacific Island Forum meeting in Australia after the unity of the Melanesian and Micronesian groups were noted by the Polynesian leaders and it was the turning point for the leaders to finally decide to set up a Polynesia ethnic group organisation.
Tuilaepa gave the idea public discussion when he suggested the idea during his lecture to commemorate the 40 years of the Pacific Islands Forum in middle of this year. The invitations to other Polynesian leaders came after further discussions during last months Forum in New Zealand.
Tuilaepa said the aim of the Union is not only to monitor the development of the Polynesian island affairs but also to help and work closely with each other. He said the Union will also strengthen the stand of Polynesian peoples in Pacific affairs.
"We will work together for the future of the Polynesian people in developing the economy, preserving our culture and values." said Tuilaepa.
The Union will also play a major role in sharing knowledge and mutual understanding in educating the Polynesian people in issues crucial to their survival such as environment and health.
"Climate change is one major issue that unites the group as all of us are vulnerable to these changes," said Foua Toloa, Head of Tokelau.
With the exception of Samoa, all other islands are still under political ties to big countries like the United States of America, New Zealand and France.
Tuilaepa credited the leaders of these islands for showing interest in the Union. He also acknowledged American Samoa's Lt Governor Togiola Tulafono for taking a bold stand in joining the Union despite being a territory of the United States of America.
Governor Togiola said he signed a memorandum of understanding not an agreement but the territory is still subject to its political leaders in mainland.
He also pointed to common areas where both Samoas can benefit under the Union such as economic development and telecommunicatioins citing the new marine fibre optic cable currently in progress that he said will benefit both Samoas.
The eight founding members of the Polynesia Union are Tonga, Niue, French Polynesia, Tokelau, Tuvalu, Cook Islands American Samoa and Samoa.
"There is an opportunity for other Polynesian ethnic groups like the Maoris, Easter Island, Hawai'i and other interested indigenious people to join," said Tuilaepa.
Fiji's claim that they are part Polynesia part Micronesia was noted by the founding members. Tuilaepa said that the Lau group in Fiji are part Polynesians hence the similar dialogue and family relations shared with other Polynesia ethnic groups.
The other group that share Polynesian dialogues are the people from the western side of Taiwan in China. Tuilaepa said that there are similar words that Taiwan share with Samoa such as "fale" and "tamaititi" and if there is interest, they would be welcome. This similarity has strengthened the belief that Polynesian people originated from somewhere in Asia, most likely Taiwan given recent scientific evidence as opposed to the popular Lapita pottery theory suggesting Polynesian origins as from Papua New Guinea.
The group's chairmanship is to be rotated with the host leader to be the chairman and the Polynesian Union will meet in Rarotonga next year.

At some point a few weeks ago I started feelling really tired, nauseous and just overall not right. I suffered through Mae Hong Son and lounged around Pai for a few days before finally going to a local night clinic. The doctor told me to go see him at the hospital the next morning and get my blood tested, so at 9am Nate accompanied me to the small hospital, connected by breeze ways and open air waiting rooms. I had my blood drawn and saw the doctor in under an hour. As he looked at the computer with my lab results, he said, "You have Typhoid."
Typhoid is an illness spread through bacteria found in water and food. It's likely that I ate something that had been sitting out or washed with not-so-clean water before I bought it. As to where that happened, I have no clue – could have been anywhere really.
But, wait. No way. That's not possible, I got immunized before I left. In fact, between Nate and I we paid almost $600 for advice, vaccines and medications to take with us just in case. But the docotor said that often times, people will get the typhoid vaccine for the European strand instead of the Asian strand. Though dear ole Wikipedia says that even the correct vaccine is only 50-80% effective.
At this point, all we could do was laugh in disbelief, which confused the Thai doctor. But as far as we were concerned, everything would be ok. I didn't have a parasite (gross) or something incurable (scary), and with medicine this early in the life of the bacteria, it wouldn't progress to the point where I would be stuck in bed with a 104 degree fever and some other nasty symtoms.
An hour and a half after we arrived, I recieved my medications, a total of five different kinds (including two antibotics which made me more sick than the typhoid). The whole affair cost 609 baht which is roughly $20.
It's been nine days since I was diagnosed. The medicine has stopped making me sick and I'm feeling like myself again. The irony of it all is that the vaccine we paid for in New York (that didn't work) cost $65, over three times what it cost to diagnose and treat the infection in Thailand.

Today we started we started off with an interesting breakfast of Cream of Wheat. After breakfast, half of the crew went and did the other portion of the Elkhorn Research, while the remaining crew went to shore. The Sergeant Brothers model boat shop was one of the most impressive stores on the island with his handcrafted model boats. The food and the ice-cream on Bequia are amazing. We arrived back on the boat and prepared ourselves for a feast of Train smash alla Jay, followed by another Blue Planet production.

If your home was subject to foreclosure proceedings in 2009 or 2010, there's a good chance you are eligible for a free, federally supervised review to see if there were any errors or misrepresentations for which you should be compensated.
If you were involved in a foreclosure, you're probably tired of dealing with paperwork, but it's been well-reported that some banks made lots of mistakes and generally handled things badly as they plowed through an avalanche of foreclosures.
This is a free chance to see if your foreclosure was handled correctly. No tax money is involved.
There is an important deadline: Review forms must be submitted by Dec. 31
The whole thing is part of a legal settlement the federal government reached with a group of 14 loan servicers last year that created the Independent Foreclosure Review.
The website for the review process offers some examples of foreclosure problems that might result in compensation from the loan servicers. For example: "You were doing everything the (loan) modification agreement required, but the foreclosure sale still happened."
Many eligible homeowners, or former homeowners, were notified about the review process last year and received forms to submit. If you didn't get a form, you may still be eligible, and if you did get a form and lost it, you can get another.
The main criteria for the free review are: The property involved must be (or had been) your residence and was in some stage of the foreclosure process in 2009 or 2010, and your loan was serviced by one of the companies involved in the settlement.
The federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency offers the following examples of foreclosure practices that may result in compensation, ranging from $500 to $125,000:
Foreclosing on a borrower in violation of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
Foreclosing on a borrower who was not in default on the mortgage.
Failing to convert a qualified borrower to a permanent modification after successful completion of a written modified payment plan that was supposed to lead to permanent modification.
Foreclosing on a borrower prior to expiration of a written modified payment plan that leads to permanent modification while the borrower was performing all requirements of the written plan.
Denying a borrower's loan modification application that should have been approved.
Failing to offer loan modification options as required by an applicable program.
Giving a borrower a loan modification with a higher interest rate than should have been charged under the relevant loan modification program.
Foreclosing on a borrower in violation of federal bankruptcy laws.
Not providing a borrower with proper notification during the foreclosure process.
Committing errors that did not result in foreclosure but resulted in other financial injury.
The deadline to apply for the review has been extended several times due to lackluster response from eligible homeowners.
The review process is among a number of mortgage-related settlements and initiatives that may have caused some confusion among people who are struggling with financial hardship.
The review doesn't conflict with other public or private programs involving loan modifications for foreclosure-related complaints. And it doesn't cost you anything except more time.
The review form mostly consists of checking off "yes" or "no" questions.

UPDATE: Many are upset with TNA creative for how things are being handled backstage. Those who once had access to more information are not happy with how creative have been keeping secrets about their plans. For example, very few people knew Eric Young was going to win the world title. Many feel like if the people in charge of creative put the same amount of energy at keeping secrets as they do toward ideas and planning, the quality of TNA could improve.
Meanwhile, sources in TNA deny that Daniel Bryan's WWE title win was the inspiration for Young's win. TNA management claims the title win was done because it was the last live episode for a few weeks and TNA wanted to surprise people. You can be the judge of that but many know how obvious it is that TNA was clearly trying to capitalize off WWE's success with Daniel Bryan.
ORIGINAL: There is said to be heat on Dixie Carter in TNA because many feel she's not doing enough to help the company. One of the concerns is the fact that TNA does not have a new TV deal with Spike TV and their current deal ends in October. The last contract they had also expired in the month of October and the company had already agreed to a new deal by this time in that year.
There are also those who are upset with Dixie Carter's attitude. She recently asked in meetings at TNA's Nashville headquarters why the company wasn't in the New Orleans area during WrestleMania week. Many feel that questioning this and the low morale is an example of her criticizing what the company should have done instead of actually getting something done.
Dixie's mother Janice and a Panda Energy attorney recently visited the TNA HQ in Nashville, which surprised a lot of people, as they normally stay in Texas.
Meanwhile, there are also those in TNA who think that "Big" John Gaburick is out of his element with his current role. He handles the creative direction for the company, something he never did while in WWE.

John O. Morisano has spent the last almost 25 years helping to build and run a wide variety of companies based in media, technology and the arts. From his first job forward, Johno has always found himself at the heart of a company's operations.
A CPA and graduate of Pace University in New York City, Johno started his career by taking a job at an indie film shop as an accounting clerk in order to work his way through college. Twelve bad movies later and a management team that left for greener pastures found him as a college senior, along the side of his 25-year-old boss, packaging up and selling a pair of publicly-traded entertainment companies. His destiny, as a result, was set. After two years with the accounting firm PwC to secure his CPA, he moved to Paris to take over the European operations of Activision as part of a global turnaround strategy. This successful turnaround became the foundation for two decades of growth that saw Activision turn into the leading video game publisher in the world.
Johno joined the Sunshine Companies in 1996, an incubator and start-up investor, and through its interests, which included SonicNet.com, Alltrue.com, Sunshine TV, Sunshine Direct, Sunshine Theater, Pickerel Pie Entertainment, Cumulus Studios and SaysMe.TV, Johno has been responsible for all aspects of corporate operations, fundraising, film, television and Internet content and technology development. His most recent investment, PRG Media, is parent to one of the UK's most popular social commerce sites aimed at women – www.inthepowderroom.com – which has a fully proprietary and groundbreaking social commerce engine.
Johno is a Vice President on the Boards of The National Arts Club and UN Women (the United Nations global organization for the advancement of women's rights in developing nations). He splits his time between New York City and Savannah with his wife and their very large dog – Flounder. When not working, you will find him biking and running in order to offset his favorite indulgences – eating good food and drinking tasty wine.

Last night after a Wednesday night church meeting a friend of mine approached me in the church parking lot. He told me that earlier in the day a woman whom he did not know called him and asked if he could offer her and her husband some financial assistance. My friend told me that this caught him off guard since he wasn't sure how the woman got his name or why she called him. He agreed to go to her house and when he arrived he saw a sight that moved his soul.
The woman who had called him was disabled with severe back problems and her husband was wheelchair-bound with an amputated leg. They were existing on only $600 a month and just recently the power company had shut off their power because they could not pay their bill. When my friend arrived he found them sitting outside because it was too hot in their trailer. This family asked my friend if there was any way that he or anyone else could help them to get their power turned back on. The woman had been calling around all day trying to find help and somehow she stumbled upon my friend's number. Upon seeing their condition and their need, my friend became Jesus to this family. He gave them a check to pay for what he could and then he set out that night to find others who could help finish off the power bill. He was not going to stop until he had helped this family.
I went with him to the couple's home and saw that they were still sitting in the dark. We were able to provide them with the remainder of the power bill money as well as some grocery money so that they would have some food to put into their cabinets. After we prayed with them we headed back toward the church in my friend's truck. On the ride back I noticed on his face a look of complete satisfaction. His satisfaction was not because of anything he did - it was because of what he allowed Jesus to do through him. In that moment his faith went beyond what he had merely learned about in church or studied in his Bible; his faith became action and I could see the profound impact that it had on his life.

This is an excerpt from a Facebook Note I posted up in February of this year. Hope you enjoy it:
Last year I was searching around on Ebay.UK and located a wonderful black beaded Vest. I missed the end of the auction, and surprisingly the item went to "zero bidders" and closed. I sent an email to the owner inquiring if she would be willing to sell the vest at her opening bid price, plus shipping and handling for a total of $50. Amazingly, she agreed! I knew it was a unique piece and could not wait to see it! The vest was even more impressive in person.
I then contacted the FIDM Museum Conservation department about donating this item possibly for their permanent collection. I selected FIDM for several of reasons, first being that one of their specialties is the conservation of vintage textiles, second that they offer their items online for research to both the general public as well as the professional design and film industries, and lastly that their museum is free to all to enter and enjoy.
I emailed them pictures at their request and set up an appointment. They wanted to review it in person! How exciting indeed! Arriving at the security desk in the rotunda, I signed in and received my guest badge and was directed upstairs for my meeting. Walking down the halls they are lined with breathtaking original colored fashion sketches by all the major designers, all behind protective Plexiglas. There are vintage couture gowns in the reception space, and it was just amazing to walk through the sitting area. I can only guess at what treasures the rest of the building must hold!
I arrived at the conservation department and met with the Associate Curator-Collection Manager. Handing over the little bag with the fragile box inside, she carefully lifted the lid and simply touched the item with her right hand. She then slipped on some white cotton gloves, lifted the vest out, and placed it on a white desktop. She leaned in with both hands on the desks, took a deep breath, and then said "please excuse me" and walked quickly off. She returned a moment later with the Head Curator, he was also pulling on white cotton gloves, and they both had large magnifying glasses. There was a palpable excitement in their manners and glances. I was feeling a little bit nervous, but was also picking up on their nervous excitement! After approx ten minutes, they both looked at me with smiles. "You have a wonderful piece here. Quite Charming. May we move it over to the mannequin for further examination?" asked the Senior Curator. "Yes, of course. Please tell me what you are looking for and what your thoughts are thus far." I asked. They had concluded that the beading was actually Whitby Jet, late 19th century (1880/1890s), and of English construction. They then carefully draped the vest on a perfectly sized white mannequin. I could then truly see the 3D beauty and construction by contrast! I must say that looking at it on a table compared to seeing it on a "body" made a huge difference. It was simply breathtaking! They could easily follow the Princess seaming, confirmed it was all original; that the net lace was fully intact and had never had alterations or repairs. What seemed to be most exciting was, upon examination, they could determine it was a custom made piece, which you can decipher when you look at the pictures, in that there are what they called "Mirror" images on Both Sides that line up perfectly at all seams on the Front, Back, and Sides! After another few minutes or so of inspection, the Senior Curator turned to me and stated that "This is an important piece and we would love to add it to our permanent collection! Out of the 15,000 items we have in our collection we do not have anything like this! It is an amazing piece to find as so many of them did not survive due to the net fabric and the weight of the jet beading. It is a very unique piece and we are excited and appreciative of your donation to FIDM"! Smiles and handshakes all around then everyone was just standing back admiring the beauty of this wonderful little piece of Victorian history. He stated it is actually a "Beaded Bodice" not a vest and would have been worn over a fitted silk gown to add sparkle. They could not confirm if or when it would be on display, but did state that were an exhibit to come up to which it would be appropriate, it could be used, and possibly photographed for online reference. I told them that was what I was earnestly hoping would occur as there was such little information about these "beaded bodices" available.
I took a moment to sign all the necessary paperwork, gave a quick look around, taking in the lovely black jet beaded bodice one last time, and left knowing that it was where it needed to be so that it could be properly cared for and preserved. If I am lucky, perhaps at some future time, I will be able to come back and see it on display!

Firth, Pond & Co. reproduction
Click on a picture to enlarge
The Peeler Firth and Pond reproduction fife is a reproduction of a true Civil War fife. This is the only Civil War reproduction fife available today!
Bazelon and McGuinn's 1999 book "A Directory of American Military Goods Dealers and Makers 1785-1915: Combined Edition" provides a brief history of Firth, Pond & Co. In that book they state, "Firth, Pond & Co., NYC. Had an Army contract dated Jul 6, 1861 for 4,000 drumheads batter and 4,000 drumheads snare. This firm dated to at least 1845 as Thaddeus Firth, Firth & Hall, & Firth, Hall & Pond at 239 B'way. Listed from 1861 - 63 as Firth, Pond & Co. at 547 B'way .... Firth, Pond & Co. had an Army contract on September 26, 1862 for 1,000 cocoa wood fifes." This listing documents that Firth, Pond & Co. was known by this name only during the Civil War and only from 1861 to 1863. This instrument is modeled after fifes made by this company during that period fife.
It is excellent instrument with a clear tone that will complete your authentic impression. The fife features nickel-silver tapered ferrules rather than the standard brass ones. While both types were used the nickel-silver tapered ferrules give the fife a distinctive look.

2017-W 100 Dollar 1-oz Gold Liberty High Relief Proof
A New Vision of Lady Liberty in Gorgeous 24k Gold!
The Embodiment of Ideals That Endure
For more than 200 years, Lady Liberty has been a proud symbol of American independence, freedom and opportunity for millions of people in the United States and around the world. Over the years, the way we see her has changed to reflect the times and the eye of the interpreter. Either capped or with flowing hair, fully clothed or with an exposed breast, holding a shield, torch or olive branch -- each version of Liberty is full of beauty, symbolism and representation. What we see in her is, ideally, what we'd like to see within all of us.
Art and Technology Combine for a Must-Have Coin!
With 2017 heralding the 225th anniversary of the United States Mint, you knew that they would come up with something special for the occasion! Introducing the 2017 1-oz Gold American Liberty High-Relief Proof. Produced by the West Point Mint, this gorgeous coin not only marks the U.S. Mint's anniversary, it also serves as the first of the American Liberty biennial series -- imagining Lady Liberty through the prism of our nation's cultural and ethnic diversity. For the series debut, Liberty is portrayed as a beautiful African-American woman, wreathed with stars reminiscent of Thomas Crawford's "Statue of Freedom" that graces the top of the U.S. Capitol building. Joined with a new, crisply-detailed interpretation of a bald eagle on the reverse, each proof is minted in superb high relief on one ounce of 99.99% pure gold using state-of-the-art technology.
Amazing Features That Make This Liberty Impossible to Resist!
In addition to gorgeous raised edge lettering, dual dating and a "W" mintmark, your legal tender $100 American Liberty High Relief Proof will arrive to you in its original U.S. Mint packaging, secured in an acrylic capsule and encased in a specially crafted black hardwood display box along with a booklet charting the history of this national emblem. This release is already a sensation inside and outside the coin collecting world. With a mintage set at 100,000, supplies are looking to be incredibly limited. Don't miss out on this historic opportunity -- bring this stunning vision home now!

Muslim Ban
This week, 45 announced plans to draft a new version of his unconstitutional Muslim ban. Meanwhile, the previous ban still has not been rescinded. Here's how you can help fight against the current and any future bans.
- Sign an amicus brief. Earlier this week, VoteVets added its name to an amicus brief filed against 45 and the Department of Homeland Security in the District Court of Eastern New York. It offered support for two interpreters who were denied entry into the United States after the Muslim ban. Add your name to become a citizen signer of the brief:
- Donate to a refugee family in need. Refugees were among the many people affected by the Muslim ban. Miry's List creates Amazon lists to make it easy for you to donate supplies to a refugee family in need. See the lists and donate here: https://www.miryslist.org/lists
ICE Raids
A draft memo from 45's administration proposes to mobilize 100,000 National Guard troops to round up undocumented immigrants. The memo calls for unprecedented militarization of immigration enforcement across the country. Here's how you can help protect immigrants in your community and throughout the U.S.
- Become a volunteer immigration lawyer. The American Immigration Council and American Immigration Lawyers Association are seeking volunteer lawyers to help immigrants being detained as a result of the recent raids. One current and dire need is for representation of women and children who are locked in an immigration prison in Dilley, TX. If you are an attorney and would like to volunteer your time to help, contact Volunteer Coordinator Crystal Massey at email@example.com. Learn more about the project here:
Healthcare - Affordable Care Act
Yesterday, House GOP leaders outlined their plan to replace the Affordable Care Act (ACA) in a 19-page memo. The memo describes a repeal-and-replace bill in largely broad terms, leaving out specifics that will be required in final legislation. It also offers new insight into House Republicans' vision for the law, such as a decision to phase out the Medicaid expansion under the ACA, which covered millions of low-income Americans. Here's how you can help protect the ACA.
- Share your story. Tens of millions of people depend on the ACA. It's up to all of us to keep speaking up about the success of this law. One way to do that is by sharing your story. The Center for American Progress is collecting testimonials from Americans who have benefited from the ACA. Share your story here: https://acaworks.org/
- Sign a petition. From Bernie Sanders' populist campaign to the nationwide resistance throughout 45's first month, momentum is building for the only real solution to our country's healthcare crisis: single-payer Medicare-for-all. Sign this petition to show your support:
Elections and Voting
Since he took office, 45 has been making false claims about widespread voter fraud in the 2016 presidential election. Earlier this month, House Republicans voted to eliminate the only federal agency that makes sure voting machines can't be hacked. Here's how you can help protect our voting rights.
- Sign a petition. President Obama has done more than any other Democrat to increase voter turnout. That's why he's leading the fight to make voter registration automatic so that all Americans have the chance to vote. Sign this petition to stand with President Obama and demand Congress make voter registration automatic:
- Run for office. We have a lot of seats to win if we're going to effectively resist 45 and his Republican party in all 50 states. Democracy for America (DFA) endorses candidates up and down the ballot, across the country. If you or someone you know is considering running for any public office, DFA wants to endorse you. Apply for endorsement here:
Upcoming Events
Check out these upcoming events for ways that you can meet other members of the resistance, educate yourself, and speak out against 45's agenda.
- New York City - I am a Muslim Too Rally: Tomorrow from 12pm-4pm in Times Square, the Movement to Oppose Trump is holding the I am a Muslim Too Rally to show solidarity with Muslims in America. Learn more and RSVP here:
- Conference Call - Ready to Resist: Tomorrow at 8pm ET/5pm PT, MoveOn.org is holding their Ready to Resist Resistance Recess Kick-Off Call to discuss ways that you can resist 45's agenda during the upcoming Congressional recess. Learn more and register for the call here:
- Flynnghazi - Tell Chaffetz to investigate 45's corruption. Instead of investigating Michael Flynn or 45's corruption, House Oversight Committee Chair Jason Chaffetz has asked the Inspector General to target the people who brought to light Flynn's lies and the administration's suspect ties to Russia. Sign this petition to tell Chaffetz to do his job and investigate 45's corruption: https://act.credoaction.com/sign/chaffetz_conway_corruption
- 45's Cabinet - Protect net neutrality. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai does not support the open internet, free from corporate control. He's publicly stated his position to "wipe away [the] net neutrality rules" that millions of people support. Sign this petition to tell Pai that we need open Internet with strong net neutrality rules: https://www.dailykos.com/campaigns/petitions/add-your-name-and-message-we-love-net-neutrality-for-an-open-internet
- The Environment - Commit to 100% clean and renewable energy. Scott Pruitt, a known fossil fuel advocate and climate denier, has just been appointed to lead the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Local leaders know firsthand the impact that fossil fuel pollution has on families and communities. Sign this petition to tell your mayor and local leaders to lead the nation and commit to 100% clean and renewable energy:

Secret World Legends Introduces Another Massive Tokyo Update
Press Release • Sep 20, 2017 14:50 GMT
– Part two of the massive Tokyo storyline in Secret World LegendsTM is now freely available to all players –
OSLO, Norway – September 20th, 2017 – Last month Funcom introduced the first part of the massive Tokyo storyline to Secret World Legends, introducing a wealth of new content, a new area to explore, new enemies to battle, and more story to unravel. Today, Funcom has launched Tokyo: Beyond the Wall, moving the story into an even more bizarre and frightening direction. InSecret World Legends, the city of Tokyo has been utterly devastated and large parts of it are under quarantine. In Tokyo: Beyond the Wall players must go even deeper into the apocalyptic city in search of answers.
In this second Tokyo update, players will be able to explore vast new areas of the city. From the Kaidan Docks where something strange now creeps out from a derelict freighter, to the neon-bathed "Dream Hotel" in downtown Tokyo which holds unimaginable secrets. Tokyo: Beyond the Wall takes everything that makes Secret World Legends unique in its genre and turns it to 11.
Download brand new Beyond the Wall trailer here:

"The infested sectors beyond the wall feature hours of additional content," says Game Director Romain Amiel. "That includes new characters and locations, as well as a captivating storyline that dives deeper into the rabbit-hole and never looks back. This second Tokyo update truly shows that Secret World Legends is the online game to play if you are looking for a deep, dark, and modern storyline that you can enjoy together with friends."
The third and final Tokyo update will be released later this year, bringing the storyline in Secret World Legends fully up to par with the storyline in The Secret World. All the content updates released for Secret World Legends are completely free-to-play and accessible to anyone who plays the game.
Secret World Legends revamps the core gameplay experience to be more accessible to both newcomers and long-time fans, introducing stronger progression structures, streamlined quest flow, and improved visuals and UI. Combat is more dynamic than ever, redesigned from traditional MMO-style tab targeting to a more modern action-driven reticle based system, and each of the game's nine weapon types have been reengineered with new mechanics to offer a unique feel in battle.
For more information on Secret World Legends, including a detailed breakdown of the game's features, visit www.SecretWorldLegends.com. In August, Funcom announced that a TV-series is to be produced by Johnny Depp's Infinitum Nihil that is based on Funcom's The Secret World IP.

Spell check suggestions are not very effective; needs Levenshtein Edit Distance
(Reporter: Bugzilla-Mozilla, Unassigned)
Firefox Tracking Flags
(Not tracked)
10 years ago
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:22.214.171.124) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 GTB5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:22.214.171.124) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 GTB5 The spell checker suggestions are seriously lacking. There are many, many occasions where I try to get a correction to a misspelled word, and get no or very few results. So, I'm forced to look up the misspelling in Google. (Oddly enough, it correctly identifies what I'm talking about 90% of the time.) I think a major part of this is that Levenshtein Edit Distance (LED) is not implemented as part of the search suggestions. LED determines the amount of letter changes required to change one word to another. If the LED is small (say, less than 5), then chances are that the word is a good suggestion to the user. For example, here are some example misspellings that fail Firefox, but have a low LED: testimont -> testament desimination -> dissemination (There are others, but I would have to mark them as I find them.) LED is described in Wikipedia here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance. The algorithm is simple enough to implement, if given a large enough sample to run through some words. Perhaps a looser version of the suggestion engine which is tightened up with LED? Reproducible: Always

Bug 499593 is one adding words to the dictionary, and a very large patch will probably be landing on trunk in a few days that will improve the spell check. Bug 479334
Comment 2•
10 years ago
Both of those seem to only deal with the dictionary itself, and not how it suggests words. The words above are already in the dictionary, but the suggestion engine is ineffective enough to not figure out what I want in many occasions.
Comment 3•
10 years ago
We have an implementation of LevenshteinEditDistance now for Sqlite queries. It wouldn't be hard to factor it out so that it's generally accessible, and that's something I'd like to do anyway. Note that Levenshtein is pretty CPU-intensive, so you probably want to use it only after a faster first pass has thrown out obvious bad matches. I think this is essentially what Brendan Byrd is suggesting at the end of comment #0.
Comment 4•
10 years ago
Yep, give the existing engine about 100 words or so to start with and then run through a LED. If the subroutine is already there, it sounds like it would be really easy to implement if I had a idea of where the suggestion stuff happens in the code.

Mozilla code currently has nothing to do with word suggestions -- they are all suggested by Hunspell. Curtis, you might want to point the Hunspell authors to the Mozilla - Sqlite implementation, but it seems like it will be difficult to share that code since Hunspell is a stand-alone project. Brendan, can you please file an enhancement request upstream with Hunspell? http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=756398&group_id=143754&func=browse

The Wikipedia article on Levenshtein Distance is probably more useful than my code anyway. If the Hunspell guys are not already using it, then I find that a little bit surprising given how well known (and how simple) it is.
Comment 7•

Created bug for Hunspell here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2871098&group_id=143754&atid=756398 I'm looking at the code here and I can't grep anything with the word "distance" on it. Frankly, I'm appalled that something which is used for many many different applications isn't using something as basic as LED or even DLED. The suggestion manager on this thing seems to rely on doing small stuff to words (like moving a letter, swapping characters) to see if it matches a good word. Plus, I have a hard time reading C code anyway, but I'll see if this can be made into a patch somehow...
