For many Queens, New York, residents, a nursing home is a place where their beloved elders and patients are well taken care of. Unfortunately, there are cases of nursing home residents dying because of negligence. Nursing home negligence may range from failure to prevent bed sores, to failure to monitor patients to other nursing home abuses. However, a nursing home error - adverse drug events - have been found as the cause of nursing home deaths every year.
Avoiding adverse drug events in New York nursing homes
Surgical errors risk cosmetic surgery
Today, most people find a person beautiful if that person has a great body and nice physical features. Due to such a stereotype, cosmetic surgery has been very popular since it was introduced. There may be a time where residents in Queens, New York, considers cosmetic surgery to improve their personal appearance. Despite the advantages, cosmetic surgery is not exempt from surgical errors, such as wrong-site surgery, anesthesia errors and post-surgical complications.
Misdiagnosis common in medical malpractice cases
Cancer is one of worst diseases that challenge many Americans, including those from Queens, every year. In New York state, for example, 2013 has seen more than 100,000 new cases of cancer. For this reason, accurate diagnosis of diseases and conditions is essential for saving patient lives from the complications and possible deaths of mistreated diseases. Unfortunately, cancer misdiagnosis does occur.
Avoidable doctor errors may be spreading infections
The word "infection" for many New Yorkers means something that is simple and curable. The unfolding Affordable Care Act, however, has made the scrutiny of health-care practices a topic of recent hearings. Even early on, details on the spread of infections in the nation's hospitals is proving somewhat alarming.
Infant's brachial plexus injuries lead to Erb's palsy
Most New York residents may not be familiar with brachial plexus injury, but this common birth injury may lead not only to injuries to a newborn baby, but also to another disease.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks® (NYSE: PANW), the next-generation security company, today announced financial results for its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2017 ended July 31, 2017.
Total revenue for the fiscal fourth quarter 2017 grew 27 percent year over year to $509.1 million, compared with total revenue of $400.8 million for the fiscal fourth quarter 2016. GAAP net loss for the fiscal fourth quarter 2017 was $38.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with GAAP net loss of $31.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2016.
Non-GAAP net income for the fiscal fourth quarter 2017 was $85.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $60.3 million, or $0.66 per diluted share, for the fiscal fourth quarter 2016. A reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables below.
"We are pleased to have ended fiscal 2017 with a record fourth quarter, including market-leading revenue growth and the highest number of new customer additions recorded in a single quarter by the company. For the fiscal year, revenue was $1.8 billion, up 28 percent year over year; our customer base grew to more than 42,500; and we delivered the largest product and features launch in our history," said Mark McLaughlin, chief executive officer of Palo Alto Networks. "Also, Steffan Tomlinson, our chief financial officer, has informed me of his intent to retire from his position. I would like to thank Steffan for his contributions to Palo Alto Networks and his leadership role in guiding the company through a period of tremendous growth and market share gains. We are initiating a search for his replacement, and Steffan will remain in his current position until the search is completed."
For fiscal year 2017, total revenue grew 28 percent to $1.8 billion, compared with $1.4 billion in fiscal year 2016. GAAP net loss was $216.6 million, or $2.39 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2017, compared with GAAP net loss of $192.7 million, or $2.21 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2016. Non-GAAP net income for fiscal year 2017 was $253.4 million, or $2.71 per diluted share, compared with non-GAAP net income of $172.9 million, or $1.89 per diluted share, in fiscal year 2016.
Steffan Tomlinson, chief financial officer of Palo Alto Networks, commented, "During the quarter, we added approximately 3,000 new customers and reported record revenue of $509 million, an increase of 27 percent year over year. We also delivered record deferred revenue and billings, while generating cash flow from operations of $240 million and free cash flow of $190 million, ending the fiscal year with approximately $2.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents and investments."
Recent Highlights

Financial Outlook
Palo Alto Networks provides guidance based on current market conditions and expectations.
For the fiscal first quarter 2018, we expect:
For the fiscal year 2018, we expect:
Guidance for non-GAAP financial measures excludes share-based compensation related charges including share-based payroll tax expense, acquisition related costs, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, litigation-related charges including legal settlements, facility exit costs, non-cash interest expense related to our convertible senior notes, foreign currency gains (losses) and income and other tax effects associated with these items, and certain non-recurring expenses. We have not reconciled diluted non-GAAP net income per share guidance to GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share because we do not provide guidance on GAAP net income (loss) and would not be able to present the various reconciling cash and non-cash items between GAAP net income (loss) and non-GAAP net income, including share-based compensation expense, without unreasonable effort. Share-based compensation expense is impacted by the company's future hiring and retention needs and, to a lesser extent, the future fair market value of the company's common stock, all of which is difficult to predict and subject to constant change. The actual amounts of such reconciling items will have a significant impact on the company's GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share.
Conference Call Information
Palo Alto Networks will host a conference call for analysts and investors to discuss its fiscal fourth quarter and fiscal year 2017 results and outlook for its fiscal first quarter and full fiscal year 2018 today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern time/1:30 p.m. Pacific time.

Following the webcast, an archived version will be available on our website for one year. A telephonic replay of the call will be available three hours after the call, will run for ten days, and may be accessed by dialing 1-888-203-1112 or 1-719-457-0820 and entering the passcode 8255664.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding our future financial and operating performance, including our financial outlook for the fiscal first quarter and full fiscal year 2018, our expectations regarding the benefits and timing of new subscription offerings, upcoming organizational changes, including the company's transition to a new chief financial officer, and our expectation to recognize a cease-use loss in the first quarter of fiscal 2018 related to our previous headquarter facilities. There are a significant number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from statements made in this press release, including: our limited operating history; our ability to identify and effectively implement the necessary changes to address execution challenges; risks associated with managing our rapid growth; organizational changes, including with regard to identifying a successor to our chief financial officer and the timing of these changes; the risks associated with new products and subscription and support offerings, including the discovery of software bugs; our ability to attract and retain new customers; delays in the development or release of new subscription offerings, or the failure to timely develop and achieve market acceptance of new products and subscriptions as well as existing products and subscription and support offerings; rapidly evolving technological developments in the market for network security products and subscription and support offerings; changes in the timing or the amount of estimated cash flow used to calculate the cease-use loss; length of sales cycles; and general market, political, economic and business conditions.
Additional risks and uncertainties that could affect our financial results are included under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on June 1, 2017, which is available on our website at investors.paloaltonetworks.com and on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. Additional information will also be set forth in other filings that we make with the SEC from time to time. All forward-looking statements in this press release are based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we do not assume any obligation to update the forward-looking statements provided to reflect events that occur or circumstances that exist after the date on which they were made.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics
Palo Alto Networks has provided in this press release financial information that has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). The company uses these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics internally in analyzing its financial results and believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics is useful to investors as an additional tool to evaluate ongoing operating results and trends, and in comparing the company's financial results with other companies in its industry, many of which present similar non-GAAP financial measures or key metrics.
The presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics are not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for comparable GAAP financial measures, and should be read only in conjunction with the company's consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the company's historical non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics to their most directly comparable GAAP measures has been provided in the financial statement tables included in this press release, and investors are encouraged to review these reconciliations.
Non-GAAP net income and net income per share, diluted. Palo Alto Networks defines non-GAAP net income as net income (loss) plus share-based compensation related charges including share-based payroll tax expense, acquisition related costs, amortization expense of acquired intangible assets, litigation related charges including legal settlements, facility exit costs, non-cash interest expense related to the company's convertible senior notes, and intellectual property restructuring related charges. The company also excludes from non-GAAP net income the foreign currency gains (losses) and tax effects associated with these items in order to provide a complete picture of the company's recurring core business operating results. The company defines non-GAAP net income per share, diluted, as non-GAAP net income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding, which includes the potentially dilutive effect of the company's employee equity incentive plan awards and the company's convertible senior notes outstanding, after giving effect to the anti-dilutive impact of the company's note hedge agreements, which reduces the potential economic dilution that otherwise would occur upon conversion of the company's convertible senior notes. Under GAAP, the anti-dilutive impact of the note hedge is not reflected in diluted shares outstanding. The company believes that excluding these items from non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share, diluted, provides management and investors with greater visibility into the underlying performance of the company's core business operating results, meaning its operating performance excluding these items and, from time to time, other discrete charges that are infrequent in nature, over multiple periods.
Billings. Palo Alto Networks defines billings as total revenue plus the change in total deferred revenue, net of acquired deferred revenue, during the period. The company considers billings to be a key metric used by management to manage the company's business given the company's hybrid-SaaS revenue model, and believes billings provides investors with an important indicator of the health and visibility of the company's business because it includes subscription and support revenue, which is recognized ratably over the contractual service period, and product revenue, which is recognized at the time of shipment, provided that all other revenue recognition criteria have been met. The company considers billings to be a useful metric for management and investors, particularly if sales of subscriptions continue to increase and the company experiences strong renewal rates for subscriptions and support.
Free cash flow. Palo Alto Networks defines free cash flow as cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property, equipment, and other assets. The company considers free cash flow to be a profitability and liquidity measure that provides useful information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated by the business after necessary capital expenditures.
Investors are cautioned that there are a number of limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures and key metrics as analytical tools. In particular, the billings metric reported by the company includes amounts that have not yet been recognized as revenue and free cash flow does not represent the total increase or decrease in our cash balance for the period. In addition, many of the adjustments to the company's GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and will be reflected in the company's financial results for the foreseeable future, such as share-based compensation, which is an important part of Palo Alto Networks employees' compensation and impacts their performance. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP, and the components that Palo Alto Networks excludes in its calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the components that its peer companies exclude when they report their non-GAAP results of operations. Palo Alto Networks compensates for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. In the future, the company may also exclude non-recurring expenses and other expenses that do not reflect the company's core business operating results.

Ever wondered what space smells like?
We know what space looks like - black with lots of bright bits in it. We know what space sounds like. But what does space smell like? Apparently space has an intriguing bouquet of hot metal, petrol fumes and barbecue - like a V8 race.
Nobody has actually smelled space because it's a vacuum and it would kill you. But when astronauts return from ISS space walks, their suits are quite whiffy, permeated with an odour of burnt or fried steak. This smell comes from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons which are produced by dying stars.
Also apparently, the moon smells of spent gunpowder, while stars smell like charcoal grills. If you can travel beyond our galaxy, we might come across pockets of the universe that smell like sweet sugar or rotten egg gas. So next time you're planning your trip into space, make sure you pack that space deodoriser.

NEW RELEASE TUESDAY! NRT for April 16, 2013 Streaming on Spotify
April 23, 2013 in New Release Tuesday, Now Stream This! by rock6847
We are definitely blessed with a fantastic assortment of releases in music for the week of April 16th. The choices were plenty and exploring the depths of music has never been so exhausting. But, for you, our readers, it is an honor and our pleasure! This week in music brought us releases from The Flaming Lips, Born Ruffians, Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr., Dead Confederate, Life Coach, Iron & Wine, John Parish, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Highest Order, Fall Out Boy, Gemma Ray, JJ Grey & Mofro, Paramore, The Thermals and Jessie Ware.

text: It was a completely cloudless day when Mariko, Alan and I headed out for our engagement shoot at Discovery Park. While this may seem like the ideal scenario for a photo session, it's actually far from it... (if you want to wish for beautiful weather on your wedding day, wish for a solid overcast sky). We did our best to time our shoot so that we could have the lovely light that happens at sunset and dusk, but the tricky thing about that sort of light is that it only lasts 15 minutes or so. We spent the beginning of our session hunting for shady spots, getting warmed up to the camera (because no one expects you to be a model right off the bat), and playing with ways to minimize and make artistic use of the sun's strong rays. By the time dusk rolled around, Alan and Mariko were like old pros in front of the camera, and we hopped from one section of the park to another to use their newfound modeling skills in the gorgeous light.

My mission as a coach is to educate, enhance, and positively influence the lives of each athlete participating in my program. It embraces commitment to excellence, loyalty, selflessness, trust, respect, and faith in one another. I strive to build character, place accountability on each young man or woman and appreciate cultural diversity. I expect my athletes to not only improve physically, but to also develop a passion for training that is equivalent to their hunger for competition.
I hope that this site will help athletes, coaches, and parents work together to achieve maximum fitness for competition or overall health. At this point, I have not decided how often I will post training suggestions but check back periodically for new information. As with any exercise or training regimen, please check with your health professional before implementing or beginning a new work out plan.

My rating: 1 out of 5
I wanted to like this book but didn't. Whether it is the unbelievable characters, the tedious foreshadowing that really was boring rather than titillating or the horrid plot line (they didn't have any plans of what to do when they got there? Seriously?!) Even the "witty" dialogue seemed exaggerated and like something out of a comic book.
Matt Reynolds review said it best: Her characters are all little more than caricatures, with the sort of exaggerated easily identifiable physical features that you'd expect of characters in a comic book or role-playing game. The physicist is 6'6" and scarecrow thin. The mathematician is a petite and impossibly beautiful ex-prostitute. The pilot is impossibly ugly and speaks such an exaggerated Texan slang that the portrayal is embarrassingly close to racism. The main character Emilio is a roguishly charming and impossibly handsome Jesuit priest. He's essentially an agnostic that wants to believe, who hubristically seizes on the mission to another world as a way to reconcile his own lack of faith in his God. His chief sounding board, and seemingly the author's chief voice, is Anne – a 64 year old silver haired but still sexually precocious doctor and hostess who is always ready with wit and wine. Both characters seem to be someone's fantasy rather than real people, and tellingly Anne's husband George is the least well drawn and least independent of the central characters.
This had a lot of promise in the beginning but, for me, it just fell apart.

Girly Grunge is sort of a soft grunge look with girly accents.
I chose to wear skinny jeans ripped at the knees, as well as black combat boots and a denim/faux leather jacket.
To add a different element totally opposite from the whole grunge concept, I added a black and white leopard print sweater, as well as a girly panda beanie hat.
I am in love with this panda hat I got at Claire's; I think it's so cute and eye-catching!!!
I noticed that I chose to wear almost all of my garments in black and white without even planning it…I realized afterwards, but I actually liked it a lot 😉

Toyota Kirloskar Motor (TKM), one of the key auto manufacturer in the country has stated that the company is not considering change in plans for hybrid vehicles despite heavy taxes under GST. The Camry sedan which was priced at around Rs 33 lakh earlier in Bengaluru has now been hiked by Rs 3 lakh.
Hybrid cars attract the current 28 per cent GST, but it is also liable for additional 15 per cent cess which brings it to a total of 43 per cent. Previously, hybrid cars attracted a tax rate of 30.3 per cent. Although the price hike will set back sales for the Japanese manufacturer in India, the company will continue attracting customers without a change in plan. Speaking about this Toyota Kirloskar Motor Senior Vice President and Director, N Raja said to media, "We will continue with this journey of hybrid vehicles in India. Our commitment remains the same and we believe that this technology is good for environment. What has happened with GST is that hybrid customers, who are mostly large business owners are busy sorting out their businesses to comply with the new tax system. So, it's taking time for enquiries to convert into deliveries."
Reports indicate that back in June, Toyota delivered only about 2,000 units to its dealers. This was however done to avoid piling up of stocks due to confusion over GST implementation among buyers. In the previous months the company has reportedly delivered around 12,000 units and from July will once again resume its normal delivery.

Series: The Next Generation
Episode: S01E10
Air Date: November 23, 1987
Written by: C.J. Holland and Gene Roddenberry
Directed by: Cliff Bole
Q decides to play a game involving Riker having Q powers while the Enterprise races off to save an exploded mining colony.
After conveniently dropping Troi off at a starbase, the Enterprise is called on to assist a nearby mining colony that has just suffered an accidental explosion. While on their way there at warp 9.1, they're stopped by the same Q-Ball that they encountered at Farpoint. (Excuse me while I randomly point out my correct usage of "their", "there", and "they're".) The Q-Ball once again turns into a force field that brings the Enterprise to a complete halt, and then Q arrives on the bridge in the form of a sphere with three snakes popping out of it. No one approves of his new style, so it doesn't take long until he flashes back to human form wearing a Starfleet Admiral's uniform.
Q explains that the Q Continuum has taken an interest in humanity, and wants to run more tests by giving them a gift beyond their greatest dreams. Picard says that's all well and good, but they're kind of in the middle of something. Not like that stopped Q before. Q promptly ignores Picard and turns to Riker. "Whadda ya think, Riker? Awesome gift? Eh?" Riker says he doesn't have time for Q's games, so what does Q do? Stops time and starts a game. He flashes a few members of the crew excluding Picard to a random planet and shows up in a Napoleonic French Marshal's uniform because it was the last thing on Picard's mind. (He obviously has a thing for Picard... but the Continuum has a thing for Riker, so...)
|Tell me, Will, do you like long walks on the beach?
Back on the Enterprise everyone looks around and is relieved to be back home. Except Riker... Riker is still back on the planet to have a little chat with Q. He asks Q what he wants, and Q explains that the Continuum is fascinated by humans because they keep on evolving. They want to turn Riker into a Q so that they can have a bit of that humanity. But Riker says "No, screw that. Take your powers." So, Q teleports everyone back down to the planet including Wesley. Worf gets shot by a French Pig and Wesley tries to save him, but gets stabbed by a bayonet.
|Just gonna leave this here. You may marvel if you wish.
This upsets Riker and he gathers everyone on the bridge to tell them "I'M HERE, I'M Q, GET OVER IT." Q shows up and says "YES, GOOD." But Picard is having none of this. Riker asks how his powers could be a bad thing if all he wants is to help people. Picard says "ok, fine, give us all everything we want." So Riker gives Geordi his eyesight, makes Wesley a grownup, gives Worf a Klingon mate... and they each turn him down because it just doesn't feel right. Riker says "omg I feel so stupid" and Picard says "AS WELL YOU SHOULD." And Q just rolls his eyes.
|I've got some theses to nail on YOU!
Overall Thoughts
I like this episode because Q. The planet that he takes people to leaves a little to be desired, but the story is solid. It gives Star Trek newcomers an introduction to why the Prime Directive exists: because it's detrimental to make any species evolve unnaturally. We also learn a little bit more about the Q Continuum and how they're pretty stagnant when it comes to evolution. This episode is the beginning of what we will eventually find is a great divide in the Q Continuum concerning humans. A divide that isn't settled until Voyager. Thumbs up all around for this episode!

ATHLETICS: Grantham AC tackles Lincs XC League
Thirteen members of Grantham Athletic Club competed in the second round of the Lincolnshire Runner XC League at Castledyke Equestrian Centre in Boston on Sunday.
Conditions were good, bright sunshine and with only a slight chill from a light autumn wind. This is a favourite of the GAC athletes, as it takes all competitors through a long challenging water section.
The under-11s took on the 1.4km course with great determination. Thomas Broadley had a great race and finished strongly in 11th place. First home for the girls was Meriel Sheard in ninth, finishing the race with a huge smile and stating that her favourite part of the race was the water section! Sisters Olivia and Grace Marshall finished the race in respectable positions of 14th and 15th.
Under-13 girls Ffion Trundell and Megan Tremain were next up and raced the 2.5km course with great spirit. Ffion had another strong race, fighting off an athlete for eighth place and narrowly missing out on seventh. Megan, who is still recovering from a foot injury, gave it her all and came home in 10th place.
Competing in the under-15s for the first season, Ella Rose Hobday took on a strong field of girls over the 3.3km course and came home in 15th place. Under-15 brothers Rori Rodell and Ewan Rodell ran a strong and confident race. Rori, returning to form, came home comfortably in third place, followed closely by Ewan in a great position of sixth.
Isabel Hobday represented the under-17 and enjoyed a comfortable race, running with conviction to be rewarded with first place.

freedom is a buzzword for our generation.
It is the pursuit of literally millions
of people. So what is it? Is it that elusive?
Can anyone get it? Let me start by saying
that this article will not be about how
to earn money, or even more money. Rather,
it will be about how to find financial
freedom, which may or may not involve

Someone gave me a small promotional cookbook that was produced to highlight the cuisine of Chile. Flavors of Chile is a kind of a glorified church fundraiser cookbook in a slick format.
There is no exposition and a few typos, but basically, it is quite a nice little cookbook, featuring some easy and interesting recipes. It makes me want to eat more Chilean food. The book is heavy on seafood, but offers a good mix with vegetables, and sweets. The plain little translations of the recipes are a bit funny.
Sometimes, you find some really nice little cookbooks in the guise of a publicity brochure. This apple dessert is an easy take on a tarte tatin and really deserves a better moniker than "apple dessert". Keep in very thin and serve with a bit of cream.
Apple Dessert
Postre de manzana
6 cups apples, peeled and cored and in thin slices
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 a lemon, its juice
2/3 cup brown sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted frozen butter, in lumps
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup grated coconut
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Pinch of salt
1. Preheat oven to high heat. In a bowl, mix the fruit with half the cinnamon, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon sugar. Pour the mixture into an 8 inch square or 9-inch round baking tin.
2. Place the rest of the ingredients in a food processor, including the remaining cinnamon and sugar, and process for a few seconds until coarsely mixed. Spread the mixture over the apples in the tin and bake for 30-40 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples are cooked. Serve warm or at room temperature.
You just never know where you might find nifty little recipes.

Nokia's Windows Phone 7 devices have been termed as the last hope for the Mango platform. This is for the reason that Nokia has been granted the permission by Microsoft to tinker with the operating system, and there are some exclusive Nokia apps available in the Nokia Store section of the Marketplace. Some of these apps have been in great demand by users, and it's a shame seeing them unavailable for other devices. However, if your device is developer unlocked (a piece of cake now for Samsung devices, due to the latest WindowsBreak tool), you can exchange your OEM app store with any other OEM Marketplace of your choice. Read on to learn all about the homebrew which will let you do that.
Disclaimer: Please follow this guide at your own risk. AddictiveTips will not be liable if your device gets damaged or bricked during the process.
Before you proceed with the method, please note that the XAP file will replace your original OEM Marketplace, so you can only use one OEM's apps at a time. Therefore, you will be giving up access to apps made specially for your brand of WP7. If you still think that the goods on offer at other stores are better than what you are currently getting, go ahead and follow the procedure. A developer unlock is enough to get the Marketplace running, so you don't need to worry about an interop unlock.
The OEM apps chosen by you will now appear in the Marketplace. There might not be a separate section for them, but if you search for an app specific to that OEM, you will get that file. The developer of the homebrews has warned users to backup their device before applying this method so that reverting to the original OEM store remains possible.

The van ride out of Colombo was an adventure in part off-roading and part traffic-dodging.
There was a load of tile factories on the north side of town (which, come to find out, while Sri Lanka is mostly Buddhist with some Hindu, Negembo is almost entirely Roman Catholic) with tons of clay tiles drying in the hot, humid sun. Everywhere, it's a challenge to avoid motorbikes and cyclists and slow-moving trucks going down one-lane gravel roads.
This was why it took six hours to the next destination, not one or two.
Fortunately, the van seats did recline really well, so it was a nap for all of us at some point during the journey. We had to sort out, at some point, what we were going to do that afternoon since we'd arrived an entire day later than we were supposed to. We finally worked out the jungle safari to see the elephants and other wildlife, as it was near the hotel and reasonable enough to do in an afternoon.
|Aliya Resort's pool –
Sigiriya Rock in the background
Our hotel was so well hidden in the Dambulla region that our driver had to stop and ask a few locals where it was located. Finally, we turn down a dirt road. The Aliya Resort and Spa was protected behind a huge gate, and when we finally arrived, it was a bit like a scene from a movie.
|View from the cottage
At first, the concrete-industrial-like building looked a little out of place in the almost-jungle setting. The entrance was rather grand, with large pillars leading up the stairs to the top and a lovely flowing lily river on either side of the stairs. Once at the top of the stairs, the view was stunning – an infinity pool disappearing into the landscape and the beautiful, lushly green mountain of Sigiriya Rock (Lion's Rock – UNESCO site) appearing in the distance.
After checking into our "cottage" – a luxurious place on the edge of the property, we had a buffet-style lunch at the hotel and planned out the safari for that afternoon.
I was probably the only person teaching in Asia who had never seen elephants in the wild before. Compared to a lot of people I work with, I was not nearly as well-traveled – yet. I have been working on that this year – almost like a goal, really. Since this is my first international teaching job, I have been looking forward to traveling extensively – my own "Amazing Race," as it is. The fact I'd not seen a wild elephant or ridden one before came as a surprise. I hadn't really planned on riding an elephant in Sri Lanka, but I darn well wanted to see some of them!
The jungle safari consisted of jumping into the back of a beat-up old Jeep (from 1948, according to the guide) and standing and holding on to the Jeep's roof as we careened around tight corners and splashed through mud holes.
We zipped up and down the water banks, flying forward and back as we trundled along. It was by the water that we first spotted the elephants lumbering about in their majestic way and nibbling on long grass. If you didn't see the elephants, you certainly smelled their dung on the way up to the herd!
In additional to the elephants, water fowl poked about as well, birds I had never seen before. The neatest thing was the peacocks, some male and some female, strutting about in the grass.
A large herd of elephants hung out by a tree grove, along with loads of Jeeps with tourists of all nationalities. Some of them had their paparazzi lens on their cameras, snapping away. I liked the general quiet of the late afternoon, as the sun was just starting to go down and leave the sky with some pretty colors.
On the way back to the base camp, another Jeep spun out in the deep mud and hit our Jeep. What ensued was a heated exchange of words between our driver and the driver of the other Jeep, with lots of gesturing and words in Tamil. It took quite a long time before our driver hopped back in and furiously drove off, this time actually being quite careful when we came to the deep ravine that the Jeep had to climb. At least I didn't feel like I was going to flip out of the Jeep!
After the safari, we returned to the hotel, as we are out in the middle of nowhere and there aren't many other options for food besides little roadside fruit stands. Dinner was almost delicious buffet with a band playing off in one corner and noisy lot of tourists from an 'unidentified' country chattering away as if they'd begun a screaming match instead of a normal conversation.
But, away from the noise, I looked up at the endless dark sky smattered with bright, beautiful stars.
It had been a long time since I'd seen the stars.

text: If you tell your kids that every night a volcano erupts with fire, smoke, and lava right in front of their hotel, they won't believe you until they see it for themselves. Head outside the main entrance Sunday-Thursday evening just before 7 p.m. or 8 p.m. or Friday or Saturday just before 7 p.m., 8 p.m., or 9 p.m. Those the times when, whether permitting, you can see this incredible man-made spectacle during the winter. The times are an hour later during the warmer months. The volcano used to erupt every half hour from dusk to midnight, but as of July, 2015, the hotel cut back the viewing times to save costs. Sadly, this is just one example of the growing trend of Las Vegas casino hotels to cut down on free entertainment. The free tram between the Mirage and Treasure Island still exists, but the free pirate show that used to draw big crowds of all ages to the TI nightly is now a part of Las Vegas history.

If your stock throttle cable needs a replacement, make sure that you get a Crown throttle cable for a reliable performance. You can check out our site's extensive selection of throttle cables for almost every vehicle make and model out there, and you can even get your throttle cable at your most convenient time.
What is a throttle cable and how important is this cable to the overall operation of your vehicle? Technically, the throttle cable or linkage will effectively control the throttle valve by connecting it to the accelerator pedal. Effectively pressing on the pedal will cause the linkage to open the throttle plate and the choke plate. And, this will cause air to rush through the barrel. The throttle cable is usually under the hood and is on the right side of the engine compartment, bolted to the big aluminum intake manifold. There will be two nuts holding the cable to the bracket on the manifold.
If you want to make sure that the throttle cable is always working at its best, there are a number of steps that you can take. When you notice that there is a slow response when you mash on the gas pedal, chances are you have a loose throttle cable. Now, if that cable will be too tight for comfort, it will not be beneficial to your vehicle since it will not allow your auto to drop to proper idle, thus causing excessive fuel consumption. But if this thing happens to your automobile, fret no longer since the throttle cable is one of the simplest adjustments under the hood of your vehicle. And if you want to install a new throttle cable, worry no more since Parts Train carries the Crown throttle cable, as well as many other Crown Parts and accessories, which are right for your auto.

Backflow Prevention
When backflow occurs, harmful chemicals and bacteria can pass through unprotected cross connections and into public water supply, creating a public health hazard. A backflow prevention device is a mechanical apparatus that allows water to flow in only one direction. If an unprotected or untested backflow prevention device connection wasn't installed or maintained properly and caused a public health hazard, the responsibility party, owners or occupants, can be held liable for damages.
- Conduct timely annual testing of backflow prevention assemblies on your property.
- Isolate your water system from the publics through the elimination of unnecessary cross connections.
- Protect cross connections that cannot be eliminated with an approved Backflow Prevention Device or Assembly.
Backflow Testing Requirements
As the City of White Rock transitions into the new water utility, we will be implementing the online submission of test reports. This is to make test submissions easier for the consumer or the tester as they will no longer need to obtain a blank test form. The City has contracted BSI Online to maintain all backflow testing submissions and newly installed or previously unregistered backflow preventors.
Testing will have to be completed by an individual who is certified by the British Columbia Water and Waste Association (BCWWA) and all back flow preventers shall be tested:
- Annually
- As required by the regulatory authority
- Upon installation (please note: the fee for filing a new test report is not included with plumbing permits)
- When cleaned, repaired or overhauled
- When relocated
Get Certified
Certified testers will need to hold a White Rock Business License and register with the City's new contractor BSI Online to submit test reports online for a fee of $34. For new backflow device testing forms, please contact Engineering and Municipal Operations Department at 604-541-2181.
More Information
For more information on cross connection control and backflow testing see Bylaw 2015. No. 2117 Section 4 Integrity of Waterworks System.

VIDEO: CivicLift Walkthrough & Demo
Watch a quick walkthrough of the tools and features that make CivicLift the perfect community and neighborhood engagement platform.
The CivicLift Community Website
Hello everyone! My name is Evan Dobos and this is a quick walkthrough of CivicLift's community engagement platform.
A CivicLift community site is hands down the best go-to resource for finding the things to do, the places to go, and the need-to-know community updates.
With so many parts that make up a community, Information tends to get fragmented. This is frustrating. and unfortunately the frustration directly correlates with lack of engagement and even lack of economic activity.
CivicLift takes all of these moving parts and creates a single all inclusive channel. Best yet, it delivers local content the way the modern citizen expects it: through a mobile-ready, online, and personalized experience.
So let's get right into a community site looks like an does. Imagine the site here is built for your town and you are a local resident browsing through it. The homepage is a lot like the front page of the newspaper in that it gives snippets of the most relevant information that you can click through to read more about. The difference however, is that our page is truly dynamic. It is always changing and updating to content that is most relevant at that point in time. This is why users will come to your site daily. Because it is always up to date with fresh and hyper-relevant community content.
"Events" is a community event calendar that is also dynamic. events are submitted by the users themselves which is especially advantageous to local businesses who are promoting their events to the community.
Each event in the list shows the pertinent information such as when and where, and clicking through it takes you to a detail page where you can see more details such as driving directions and contact info.
"Places" is an interactive map and places of interest directory. Listings tend to be mostly local business listings, but why not also include public transit stops, historic sites, or even bike trails? Whatever location-based asset your community has will be listed on this map. Not think of how enlightening that will be for both residents and visitors to visually see how much your town really has to offer!
"Headlines" is a hybrid between a community blog, and announcements board, and a place for interesting articles that relate to your town. For example, the mayor driving about community developments or a leasing agent talking about the businesses moving into town. Perhaps even an art critic writing about art featured in local galleries. Whatever topics are actually relevant about your community can be written about and promoted here.
The Difference
What you've seen so far is the public view of a CivicLift site. It's beautiful design and ease-of-use satisfies both residents and visitors with a comprehensive collection of what your community has to offer. This is a perfectly useful website in the traditional sense, but CivicLift is not a website, it is a community engagement platform. So, what's the difference? There are many actually and to begin illustrating them, let's start with the user.
Let's keep pretending I'm a resident of your town. I visit the site numerous times a week and have even promoted my local business and the events we have through it. If this were a traditional site, accomplishing that would entail contacting the webmaster, e-mailing him my pictures and information, and then wait for him to actually have time to update the site. Any changes I would need to make would simply be rinse and repeat. it's a clunky, time consuming process with lots of overhead and lots of room for errors. imagine if I had a typo, or if my event got canceled. It's not a sustainable model when you multiply that by an entire town of users. This is why traditional websites fail communities.
Since this is a CivicLift site, I can create an account and submit my own content. Everything I have submitted is available for me to edit and it is as easy as filling out an online form. Anyone can do it.
Now I know what you are thinking: "What if someone submits something that is not in the best interest of my community?" or "What if it's downright inappropriate?". Well, we thought of that too, and that is where the Curator comes in.
The Curator's Toolset
The curator is given access to special tools in CivicLift that allows them to moderate all of the community-submitted content before it goes live on the site. All they have to do is review it and click "Approve".
We also give Curators marketing tools where they can organize email blasts, social media, highlight important content, run specialized campaigns, and truly be a curator.
You may have noticed that the examples throughout this demo are pretty open ended. This is definitely on purpose and by design. After all, your community has its own personality and the brand, and there is no better way to accurately represent that van by letting the community drive the site themselves.
In the meantime, CivicLift we'll be constantly adding new features and improving our tools for an even more effective community engagement platform. If you have any questions feel free to contact me here, or click here to book a personalized demo.

- Advocates for arts education are hopeful that the Common Core education standards adopted by more than 40 states will soon change that, as the standards and new exams that go with them emphasize critical thinking and analytical skills, which they say go hand in hand with artistic expression.
- The arts most often get short shrift in high-poverty schools under intense pressure to boost academic performance. But the Common Core standards mention the arts frequently: approximately 75 times, according to Sandra Ruppert, who directs the nonprofit Arts Education Partnership. Students are expected to analyze paintings, music, and theater and create their own works of art. "The pendulum might be swinging to the idea that maybe kids actually do need a well-balanced education," Ruppert said.
- Yet, on average, only a quarter to a third of students at Ascend's schools met the tough new Common Core proficiency standards.
It would appear, then, that the Ascend Learning success was in spite of the failure of Common Core. Although in their mind it's not Common Core that failed, it was the students. And you may have heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Common Core devotees likely try and ignore that adage:
- Administrators believe their new curriculum will yield better results this year but say they're committed to giving it time to show impact, regardless of the outcome.

September Income Report = $15,378, Broke 200K YTD
I spoke to a roomful of cemetery and mortuary owners. About leadership. Yes, everybody holds meetings and needs speakers.
This is going to be another shortie. September was BUSY with book prelaunch activities and most of my revenue continues to come from speaking engagements (reminder, all these are inbound opportunities resulting from people reading my books…I'm not trying to get speaking gigs). I promise October will be meatier because I'll finally have some more book royalties to report.
Total income for September was $15,378, with year-to-date revenue of $200,890. The breakdown for the month:
- 2 speaking gigs = $13,750
- Royalties from 3 books = $1,628
For "giving back", I spent almost four hours doing a talk and then a meet-and-greet with over 100 students at Bucks County Community College. Many aspiring entrepreneurs and authors in the room. Was a lot of fun.
September was busy busy busy with pre-launch activities for the launch of my book, 15 Secrets Successful People Know About Time.
I recruited over 200 people into the launch/street team. (Click here to learn how to do that.)
I launched a "free plus shipping and handling" campaign for my book. Basically, I'll send a physical copy of my book to anyone in the world if they pay $7.99 shipping and handling. There's a lot behind this so I'll do a separate post on it, but you can see the landing page here.
This included learning new software (Clickfunnels), signing up a fulfillment warehouse (Shipzoom), getting my files to work with IngramSpark (God do I hate them) because they can print and ship bulk copies WAY cheaper than Createspace.
I also wrote and recorded FOUR educational training videos, which I used as a back end teaser to anyone who bought a copy of my book. The goal is to upsell into a bigger online course and group coaching program (more on that in the October update).
Phew. Got questions? Want to say hi? Hit me at info at kevinkruse.com.
PS – If you think my blog will help you to sell just ONE more book of your own, would you "tip" me by grabbing the Kindle version of my Time and Productivity book–only .99 for another couple of weeks.

On his Thursday broadcast, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel took to the streets of Los Angeles to gauge the public's attitude toward GMOs, or genetically modified organisms, as ingredients in food.
GMOs have been a hot-button issue for some activists, some of whom insist food products that contain GMOs carry a special label to indicate as such. Others are against GMOs altogether.
However, as Kimmel finds, the public is a bit hazy on exactly what the definition of a GMO is.

Sunday night at Downtown Stage, The xx showed that it still relies on stripped sounds thoughtfully put together. The UK trio kicked off a tour for their third album early this year, stopping at Life Is Beautiful on September 24. In addition to showing how much we still love their older music, the trio seems to have grown into their individual personas as well.
To open, the band returned to their 2009 debut album—"Intro," "Crystalised" and "Islands"—soon followed by tracks from I See You: "Dangerous" and "I Dare You." Romy Madley Croft went solo for her song "Performance," also from the new album, taking on a vulnerability that resonated throughout the set.
Photos by Jesse J Sutherland
Classics like "Infinity," and "VCR" reined the crowd back in before Oliver Sim gave a solo performance of "Fiction," dedicating it to all the single people, as opposed to couples, in the audience. Much love.
For the climax, Jamie XX's 'Loud Places" stoked the fire that was "On Hold." "Angels" served for the cool-down and closer. The set was a well-balanced medley of old and new. Sim's love song for single people, performances of each member's solo work and "On Hold" all helped convey the new album's message of finding love and connection in a sometimes scary world.


text: Not sure where to put this so I am 'spamming' FH and put it here, the Anything thread and the Lounge section. I want it to be seen by as many people as possible because no matter how we agonize about our favorite teams, fall apart when they lose and call it a disaster, no matter where we stand politically and the constant forth and back and no matter if you are black or white, religious or not some people just have drawn a worse hand of cards in the game of life. I think nothing can be more devastating than being diagnosed as a 5-year old with brain cancer and having two tough surgeries at the age of 7. The story itself is already three years old but it is always new and that little 'Rudy moment' will be ingrained in his life forever. Kudos for the Nebraska Cornhuskers to give that little fellow a moment in time - his time.

The Netherlands extends its support for Syria and the wider region
26 Apr 2018 The Netherlands extends its support for Syria and the wider region Reportfrom Government of the Netherlands Published on 25 Apr 2018 â" View Original
On Wednesday, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Sigrid Kaag announced at an international conference in Brussels that the Netherlands will continue to provide support aimed at relieving the suffering of Syrians in Syria and its neighbouring countries and helping to maintain regional stability.
The conference, which was organised by the European Union and the United Nations, was devoted to the humanitarian crisis in Syria and its impact on Lebanon and Jordan, which have been hosting millions of Syrian refugees. âThe ongoing crisis continues to place a heavy burden on these countries,â said the minister. âWe cannot abandon the Syrian people, refugees and host countries Lebanon and Jordan.â
â¬400 million for humanitarian aid and support to regional host countries
In that spirit of solidarity the minister announced that the Netherlands would continue to support Syria and the wider region, as it has done in recent years. In line with the coalition agreement, the government has earmarked over â¬400 million over the next four years for humanitarian aid and to improve prospects for refugees and host communities in the region. The Netherlands will contribute to education and employment, for both refugees and host communities.
A large proportion of the pledged amount will be channelled through the UN and other international and non-governmental organisations to support Lebanon and Jordan, two new focus countries for Dutch foreign policy. Ms Kaag had previously announced the contribution for Lebanon (half of the â¬400 million) earlier this month at a conference in Paris. The same amount will be set aside in the years a head for Jordan. An additional humanitarian contribution of over â¬20 million has been earmarked to assist the Syrian people in 2018.
A political solution
This support is needed to relieve the most acute suffering, but Ms Kaag stressed that, ultimately, a political solution would be needed to end the conflict in Syria. The Netherlands backs the UN-led process to reach a lasting solution.
The government also believes that those guilty of perpetrating atrocities in Syria should be punished. To that end, the Netherlands organised a meeting on this issue, together with Belgium, the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Germany and Sweden. Public prosecutors, representatives of Syrian organisations and staff at the UN evidence database for Syria spoke in Brussels about boosting international cooperation on this front.

Mixed Reviews for Fall Sports Season at USC
By Shannon Stern
USC was coming in hot to the 2012 Fall Sports Season. However, not all of their teams were able to keep up with the hype.
USC's Men's Water Polo team was riding the wave of their four consecutive NCAA Championship wins. This season proved to be smooth sailing for the team. The team won all of their matches this season, making their record a whopping 29 – 0. Sunday's NCAA Championship game tested the team. USC played their cross-town rivals, the UCLA Bruins. The Trojans fought hard from start to finish. Kostas Genidounias, with the help of Matt Burton, scored with forty seconds left in the game, making the score 11 – 10 in favor of the Trojans. As time ticked down, the Bruins were unable to score. The Trojans have now won five consecutive NCAA Championships and prove they are a force to be reckoned with!
The Women of Troy have also battled hard this season. The Women's Volleyball team has showed their strength throughout the season. With an overall record of 29 – 5, the Women of Troy were the fourth-ranked, sixth-seeded team going into Thursday and Friday's NCAA First and Second Rounds. In both matches, the Women of Troy rose above their opponents, winning their first match against Fairfield 3 – 0 and their second match to St. Mary's College 3 – 0 as well. The team moves onto the NCAA Championship Round of 16 for the fifth time in seven years. They'll play their next game on Friday in the Austin Regional semifinal at the host school, University of Texas.
Coming off of sanctions, the USC Football team had a lot of hype to live up to. This was the first season they were bowl eligible in two years, Matt Barkley turned down the opportunity to go into the NFL last year in order to finish out his four years at 'SC, and the team came into their first game ranked number one in the nation. That all was about to change. In a season of twists and turns, the Trojans ended their season with Barkley on the sidelines and with an overall record of 7 – 5. But, their season is not over yet. They are set to play the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on December 31stin the Hyundai Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas. USC has played in the Sun Bowl twice before and has played the Yellow Jackets four previous times. The New Year's Eve game will be broadcast live on CBS at 2 pm EST.
Look out for 'SC to come back with vengeance during their appearance in the Sun Bowl as well as next season. Good luck to the Women of Troy on their quest for the NCAA Championship. Congratulations again to the Men's Water Polo team on another win and keep up the good work. Fight On!

Alexis Sanchez speaks about that time Chelsea made Leo Messi cry
New Manchester United striker Alexis Sanchez reveals that Chelsea made Leo Messi cry.
It happened in 2012, after the Champions League semifinal the Blues won on a 3-2 aggregate, before flying to Munich to lift the trophy.
With a 1-0 lead from the first-leg, Chelsea produced a great defensive display in the second-leg in Barcelona. After seeing captain John Terry sent off early in the game, the Blues managed to draw 2-2 at Camp Nou with Fernando Torres scoring late in the game for Chelsea.
"You might cry during a game if you lose a final," said Sanchez.
"That's all part of football. In the Barcelona dressing room after the Chelsea game, I saw Leo Messi cry.
"That's because players demand so much from themselves. People don't see that."

Chris McKay's Nightwing film is one of the most unexpected — yet most intriguing — DC projects on the horizon. Warner Bros. is aggressively expanding its slate of superhero films to include various Batman offspring and adversaries, including Batgirl, Gotham City Sirens, and Joker and Harley Quinn. But a stand-alone movie about the former Robin stepping out of Batman's shadow has the potential to explore themes and concepts absent from most of the other planned DC films.
Dick Grayson/Nightwing is a fairly unique character who could stand-out from other DC heroes. Nightwing is generally depicted as a bright and cheerful offshoot of the Dark Knight. However, it's currently unclear what version of Nightwing we'll get — DC has retconned and relaunched the character multiple times over the years. One of the more popular recent storylines had Grayson working as a cop in Bludhaven (a grittier version of nearby Gotham, if you can believe it). Much like many of Marvel's heroes, Grayson needs a day job to fund his nighttime adventures, and the career choice also put him at odds with Batman — a cool way to establish this character!
RELATED – Nightwing Director Chris McKay Defends The DCEU
Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises (2012) actually nods to this particular Nightwing story arc, as Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Officer Blake character was kinda revealed to be Dick Grayson in the film's final scenes. Of course, it's just speculation at this point. Regardless of what iteration of Grayson/Nightwing we get, one thing that remains true about this character is his exceptional physicality and boundless energy. So the obvious question is: who can bring these qualities to Grayson/Nightwing?
Over the weekend actor, Dacre Montgomery (Power Rangers, Stranger Things 2), posted a rather cryptic Tweet — he has since deleted it — implying that he's either a Nightwing superfan or that maybe he's being considered for the role. Montgomery's performance as the wild and sweaty Billy Hargrove in Stranger Things 2 certainly demonstrated the necessary charisma and body type needed for the part. Unfortunately, McKay dumped ice water on this theory:
We haven't started the process of casting NIGHTWING yet but when we do you'll hear something because our search will be far and wide
— Chris McKay (@buddboetticher) November 5, 2017
McKay could be employing a smoke screen here, but he has nothing to gain by knocking down the Montgomery rumor. However, Montgomery is as viable as any other option out there; good for him for taking the initiative! Nightwing does not have a release date yet — McKay refuses to commit until a script is nailed down — so we're all probably jumping the proverbial gun, but it's never too early to speculate on a DC superhero film!
