Today, that quote means more to me than ever. You see, since I started consulting in 2007, I’ve gotten on an early morning flight almost every Monday morning (besides when I was in business school). Well, today I’m not on a plane, and I’m not getting on one.
I have left my job. I am no longer a management consultant. And you have no idea how hard – and scary – it is for me to even type those words. I’ve been a consultant for my entire adult life, and (although I don’t recommend this) it had become a big part of “who I was.” As I mentioned in this post, I kind of chose my job because everyone else at my college wanted an offer from my company, and I was fortunate enough to get it. So, I figured it must be great. Over the years, I was fortunate to realize that it was great – I learned so much about business and the way various companies operate, got such amazing opportunities and responsibilities, and met such incredible people.
As of today, I am taking action. I am making a promise to myself to go confidently in the direction of my dreams, and to live the life I have imagined. And I will appreciate and enjoy every single moment of it.
So tell me in the comments … Have you ever left a job? What’s the scariest thing you’ve ever admitted to yourself? What can you do to make your life a little bit better today?
Wow Megan! I’m so so proud of you! That is a great and huge step in following your dreams. It may not be comfortable right now and actually quite scary but I know you are finally doing what you want to do! I know how scary being jobless is and that is awesome that at least you have a view. It is hard to know what to do sometimes – and you have done an AMAZING job! Good luck I know this is the start to a wonderful a new journey for you!
Thank you so much for the support and encouragement, Sara! I’ve been busy researching all kind of fun stuff like how to register/ license a business, how to pay taxes when you’re self employed, and brushing up on my marketing, so the fear was far greater when I was actually trying to work up the courage to quit!
My long comment just deleted thanks to airport wifi gah! I’ll try to retype it.
MEGAN! I could NOT be more proud of you. You know how I feel about taking risks and pursuing your dreams so I am so onboard with your choice. And don’t think for a second that you could ever disappoint your readers. You are by far one of the most impressive person and blogger I know. Your courage and strength to take the leap makes you even more so.
2014 is going to bring amazing things for you. I have no doubt about this! So excited to follow your journey. Know that I am always here to bounce ideas off of or to just talk through the scariness of it all. I SO get it.
p.s. I just read this to Curt and he said “damnnnn girl!”. That’s his way of saying you’re incredible, and I could not agree more!
Your support and encouragement means the world to me. Your comment was incredibly flattering and heartfelt – and then ended with a laugh … the perfect comment in my mind! I know that you know the exact mix of excitement/ fear/ relief that I feel, and I’m excited for us to help each other along on this fun journey!
Amazing…..so enjoyed this! Even happier that you were my “Elf” and now will have time to share all your knowledge! Bring it on, as I need all the help I can get!
Thank you, Janet! I’m excited to keep sharing some of my knowledge here – and if you ever have specific questions, feel free to ask!
Wow Megan! I’m reading this post and I’m smiling from ear to ear because I am so happy and excited for you! It is so rare to find people that let go of their current comforts(good job, status, etc.) and go for their dreams. You are a true inspiration! I hear way too many people say, “I will do it one day” or “next year” or “when the timing is right”. Those are the same people that are in the same place 15+ years later and wish they would of pursued their dreams when they had the energy, passion, and drive. You are young and the world is yours. Enoch and I could not be more proud of you!
My first job out of school was with GE healthcare and I was 1 out of 8 selected for a prestigious 2 year engineering rotational program. Long story short, I hated my job, barely slept, and was so stressed that I lost weight and my hair was thinning. When I told my family and friends I wanted to quit they didn’t support it at all, the only one who supported it was Enoch. They kept telling me it would get better, but it didn’t. I felt that if I quit I would disappoint a lot of people. One thing Enoch told me and to this day is the best advice I’ve ever received is, you can’t worry about what people will think (yes, this is easier said than done 😉 ). They will have their opinions but you can’t let that affect your decision. I quit my job 4 months later and felt a huge sense of relief. When I told the head of the program I was quitting she first tried to convince me not to, but eventually she realized my decision was made and I would not budge. Funny thing is when I handed her my letter of resignation the 50+ year old woman said she wished she had as much courage at my age to have quit her job. She admitted how she has not been happy for the 30+ years she has worked there. Quitting that job gave me the opportunity to find a different field of engineering that I was more passionate about and actually enjoyed. I will say that if it wasn’t for Enoch being my rock and supporting my decision 100%, that decision would have been a lot more difficult to make. We are very lucky to have the partners we have in our lives that support our decisions and dreams.
Following your heart and dreams is worth every risk. Looking forward to following your journey. I know it will be a success!
Ps: Love the above picture of you. You are glowing with happiness.
Thank you so much for sharing your story, Angela. My father-in-law wrote me to say that your comment was so insightful and spot-on to my situation, and I agree! It’s SO nice to hear about people who were in similar situations and went with their heart, because (like you say) so many others don’t end up doing so. Also … your text yesterday morning meant so much! It was before many of the comments came in, so I wasn’t sure how people were going to react, and it was exactly what I needed. See you guys soon!
I’m going to stop letting fear of failure stop me and go confidently in the direction of my dreams. I admire you and hope to find it in me to live the life I imagine!
I hope you find it in you, too, Jill. Honestly just taking the leap is so freeing and wonderful! Get out there and do what you need to do for your happiness!
Ah Megan, my heart is so full as I read this post that I know I won’t be able to articulate everything I am feeling. I am so, so, SO happy for you. Not because I didn’t think you COULD live a healthy life while having a demanding job, but because it wasn’t what you WANTED to do, so you’re not doing it anymore. I can tell that you are so passionate and so driven, and I can only imagine how wonderful you were at your job. Yes, I admired (and continue to admire) you IMMENSELY for keeping the schedule that you did. But I admire you even more for taking this step. I’ve never had a job as demanding as yours, but I have loved people who certainly did. And let me tell you, all the money and prestige in the world really doesn’t make up for the time lost when that kind of job becomes your world.
You are going to be AMAZING in whatever you choose to do. Absolutely amazing. .
Amy, thank you SO much for your support. I admit that you were one of the “blends” I worried most about, since you’ve always been so nice to comment on how much I was balancing and are incredibly successful yourself. But hearing your kind words makes me even more relieved than I already was. And thank you for already helping me get up to speed on the corporate wellness industry by sending over the article today!
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! we must catch up!
Thank you so much, Clare! Your support means a ton! And YES – I would love to catch up and hear about all the great things going on in your life. Give me a call or shoot me an email anytime!
Megan – I am SO incredibly happy for you and cannot wait to see what the coming weeks, months and years bring! While I am sad we will no longer see your smiling face around the office, I hope to see even more of you in Dallas!!!
Thank you so much for your email and this comment, Dawn! I really appreciate your support. So happy to have a yoga teacher friend close by :).
Thank you so much for your support, Maegan! I really appreciate it! Looking forward to being an SO with you, and would love to grab lunch sometime!
I am so proud and happy for you!! I know how scary it is, especially not having “it all figured out” but ultimately our number one priority is AND should be our happiness. Thank you for being such an inspiration.
ps. You look absolutely gorgeous!!
Thank you SO much for your support, Amy. I know you know how it feels! I’m excited to help each other figure things out this year. I know it’s going to be a great one for both of us!
Thank you so much, Jillienne! I hope you DO have enough guts to go for what makes you truly happy! It took me several years, but it’s never too late. I appreciate your support!
I am so thrilled and excited to be reading this – you have been hinting and poking, and I knew it was coming especially from one of your comments on my blog.
It sure IS scary – and while all of those people who will tell you ‘this is the time in your life to do things like this’ are right … that doesn’t make it any LESS scary!
And I have two opinions on the ‘you seem happy’ thing: first off this just means you are a good employee, keeping on a brave face as you work through things, only revealing your dissatisfaction to those like your husband or family. It is also one of those key phrases you never use with a depressed person because it ends up having the opposite effect – and as a result is just as ineffective on someone unhappy for any reason.
I am happy you are following your dreams, and also love the pics and motivational images! Great stuff and good luck embarking on this scary journey!
You are very perceptive, Michael! I was hinting, you’re right, but I wasn’t sure if anyone was picking up on it :). What you said about ‘you seem happy’ was really interesting – I never thought ill of anyone who would say that, it was more of a sad feeling, like “ugh … I wish that were actually true …” The good news is, I already feel amazing. I’m so excited for this journey and the year to come! I appreciate your support, as always.
There was an article at Geekmom about this subject (http://geekmom.com/2014/01/say-this-not-that-depression/), and I have a running blogger friend who is struggling with depression, and our boys best friend from Massachusetts had her cousin (who they hung around with on our last visit back) kill herself this past fall … it is scary stuff.
Wow, that article is so powerful, thank you for sharing. There are several of them I relate to – when Kevin would remind me that many people were worse off than me, I would feel even guiltier for being down because I knew it was true, but yet it didn’t make me feel any better at all. I don’t take your post as a downer, but rather a serious thing we need to recognize. Thank you!
That (others are worse off) is one of those things meant to help but it is almost always hurtful and destructive. It makes us question the validity of our feelings. Yet it is done with the best of intentions.
I have always been good at compartmentalizing, and as a result I could never get too mad, because each little thing was held separate and I would say ‘not so bad’ … but when I finally recognized what was happening it was like the ‘death by 1000 paper cuts’.
Lisa and I struggled with fertility and multiple miscarriages (requiring too much time at Brigham & Womens) … and so many ‘helpful’ things were said. Even though our oldest is 17, you just never forget.
Wow, thank you for sharing this. I’m so sorry you had to deal with those struggles. Although you never forget, you have shown so clearly that you’re so grateful for your boys now, which is an amazing and inspirational thing!
Megan, I am sooooo proud of you and happy that you are following your heart.
I have felt helpless while standing by feeling your unhappiness and hurt.
Find happiness – YOU deserve it.
Megan, what an exciting change! I was very inspired by your post. Good luck, I know you will be successful!!
Thanks so much for your comments, Lara! I really appreciate it and hope all is well with you!
Of course I don’t think you are crazy, Rachel :). Like I told you in my email, it was perfect timing. So glad we’ve gotten back in touch!
Good for you! Life goes by so quickly, and if you can do something that makes you happier than what you were doing, I say go for it! Good luck in your future endeavors!
Thank you so much, Tempie! I really appreciate your support!
This is such a refreshing perspective to read – I’ve only recently found your blog but I have to say I admire your decision very much! I have been there just a few months ago – unfortunately I stayed in a job I hated for so long I still haven’t completely “detoxified” after 5 months of complete rest and immersion in personal projects.
Good luck in all your endeavors and I’m looking forward to reading your bog in 2014!
Thank you so much for your comments, Raluca. I’m so sorry to hear that you have experienced something similar, but I’m glad you’re finding your way to happiness. What you said about taking a while to detoxify and reset really struck a chord with me. I was thinking today about an analogy – see if it resonates with you. You know when you have a necklace that is incredibly knotted up? It’s just a huge bundle of knots and seems impossible to break free. Then you work on it for a long time, and you get to a mini breakthrough, and a big piece of it releases … but then you realize you still have dozens of other knots to work on. You have several more breakthroughs, but it really takes a while before the necklace is straightened out again. I honestly do think that’s like the stress that unhappiness and fear builds up inside of us – and I think it will take me several months to unwind as well. If you think I’m crazy for unloading this strange analogy on a new reader, I’m sorry :). Good luck to you in 2014!
Thank you so much for this reply! I love analogies and “story telling” – I think they are still the most powerful tools we humans have for learning and understanding new situations.
Wishing you all the best and I’m so happy I found your blog at this time – it must be some kind of sign.
So glad you don’t think I’m crazy! I’m glad you found me, too!
Hi Megan! I just saw this posted on facebook so I clicked over to read. I love your passion for nutrition and wellness! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist myself and got a masters in nutrition communication since we were in Theta together in college 🙂 If you ever want to talk about the field, let me know!
Hi Caroline! So great to hear from you, and thanks so much for your comments! I’ve been loving following your delicious looking recipes on pinterest, but I’m so happy to now see your beautiful website and blog! I would LOVE to catch up and hear how you got your start in the field; I’ll send you an email in the next few days. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, Arman! Like I said to Amy, you were another of my blends that I was most worried about, so I’m thrilled to see your reaction. I know you relate to the uncertainty and to the desire to follow your dreams (I loved your recent career post!), and I’m so excited to see where this year takes YOU, too!
Megan, there’e no need to be scared about failing or to be worried about what people will think — because you have already succeeded — by making the decision and taking steps to pursue what you feel will make you happy. The future is always uncertain, but you’ve got a heartfelt dream and you’re going to go for it. You’re not giving up — you’re standing up. Congratulations !!!
Thank you so much for your support, Dad. You’ve always been the biggest proponent of balance for me – and while I previously took that to mean balancing as many things as possible, I now understand that it means more than that. I’m excited to find the real balance in my life!
This is so amazing! I only started reading your blog a few weeks ago but I am so glad I came across it in time to hear about this! I love that you have figured out the direction you want to go in to find what makes you happy. I hope to one day be able to do something similar! Congrats and best of luck!
Thank you so much for your support, Lisa! I’m so glad you’ve found me, too :). And I hope that you do end up doing something similar in the future, if it makes you happy!
Congratulations Megan. I have read your blog every day but today? Was the best ever! Please don’t stop the blog because although I don’t respond every day I am motivated every day. Today I copied several of your sayings and intend to put them in my office…..
Follow your dreams…….believe in yourself and there is no doubt you will continue to be the shining star you have always been.
Thank you so much, Danielle! I love your thoughts on success – I agree!
Megan – I loved reading about your journey through discovering your passion and making a tough but rewarding decision! It’s true what they say…the greatest risk is not taking a risk at all! You go girl…it will all come together – the best is yet to come!
Thank you so much, Ruthie! I really appreciate your support!
Let Mike & I know if you are ever interested in a job in Atlanta. You would love Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s employee wellness program… Congrats and good luck!!
Thank you for your comment, Rachel! The employee wellness program sounds awesome, and I’d love to see more of you and Mike … if only it was in Dallas!
So very excited and happy for you – you are a true inspiration!
Thank you so much, Laurie! I really appreciate your support of the blog and my decision!
This post makes me so happy for you!! What a bold, wonderful move! CONGRATULATIONS!!
I’m sure you will figure out and be successful at health coaching. Passion and dedication will pay off….enjoy the adventure!
Ashley @ This is the Place recently posted…2014 – New Year, New Race Schedule!
Thank you SO much, Ashley! I really appreciate your support. I’m so excited for the adventure!!
I am so thrilled you took control of your life and left the job you were NOT happy with – even if this means not knowing where you’re going to go next!!!!! I cannot believe you had to fly every Monday. I am TERRIFIED OF FLYING so holy hot damn, I give you even MORE CREDIT!!!!
I am so excited to see where life takes you!
Thank you so much for your sweet comments, Gigi! I can’t wait to enjoy life more – like it looks like you are always doing :). I was never scared of flying, just didn’t enjoy it!
Congratulations on making that leap! And yes I know it’s scary. I was thrown into the world of freelancing five years ago after I was laid off. I knew nothing about running my own business, yet here I am living in an expensive city (LA) and managing to do it. If you have a will, you find a way. Life is too short to not try something you are passionate about and just settle for something you’re not! Good luck, and I look forward to following your progress!
Congratulations on finding your way, Tonya! That’s very inspiring! How do you usually find freelancing work? It’s definitely something I have considered trying to add in. I really appreciate your support!!
Saw this when you posted it, but haven’t had a minute to sit down and type out my thoughts.
I seriously had tears in my eyes as I read about your decision. You are such an incredible person, and this move will bring you so much happiness.
Best wishes in you new endeavors, and please let us know how we can help things along for you!
Robert, thank you so much. Your care and concern comes across in all your comments, and I really appreciate your support of the blog and this decision! I’m so excited for my next steps!
I know it may not seem like it now, but you are such an inspiration! You are so strong and focused and great things lie ahead for you this year. I hope you find happiness in whatever you do.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Christine. I really appreciate them!! I have a great feeling that this year will be a very happy one for me!
I almost missed this big announcement – WOW & CONGRATULATIONS!! What a huge step in the right direction. If you have the ability to leave a job that’s not bringing you joy (and adding to the stress) and follow you passion, it’s something everyone should do. So proud of you for having the courage to act and do it! Excited to follow your journey this year!
Thank you so much, Heather! I really appreciate your encouragement. It was scary, but I can already tell it was the right decision – I feel amazing, relieved, happy, and like a normal person again – I can actually think about something aside from work! I do appreciate that I have the ability to do this and feel very lucky for it!
Thank you so much, Nithya! I appreciate your continued support so much! And I know we’ll keep in touch – I’ll be bugging you for more delicious Indian recipes, and I’ll be more than happy to reciprocate with tips for how to stay healthy while consulting. I know you’ll be amazing!
I needed to read this!!! I am currently contemplating a leap career-wise and am scared out of my mind. Davida knows this! It’s nice to know I’m not alone. And I think you’d be SO GREAT at corporate wellness!
I’m so glad it helped, Caitlin! If you ever want to chat about your decision, feel free to let me know and we can hop on the phone! I know that with an MBA there’s a lot of pressure to do more “traditional” jobs, but I hope your decision (whatever it is) makes you truly happy!
Awesome! There is no better feeling than taking a leap of faith and discovering so many new things! Good luck!
Thank you so much, Danny! Appreciate the wishes, and hope all is well with you!
So excited for you! For me, walking away from crazy long hours (attorney at a big firm) was the best thing I did in my life for my marriage, my health and my happiness. I looked around me at people who ate dinner with me more than they did with their spouses and I knew it just wasn’t the life I wanted. It took 2 tries, but I found a job that I love with the same intellectual challenge and dinner with my husband almost every single night. TOTALLY worth walking away in that leap of faith, knowing there had to be something better for me out there. And I think you’ll love getting certified as a running coach — I found it awesome for my own running, and helping others was almost just a bonus!
Thank you so much for this comment, Carina! It’s so nice to hear from someone who relates. Yes, I ABSOLUTELY spent more time with my colleagues than my husband – in fact every Valentine’s Day I would joke that I should gift my colleagues instead of my husband because I spent more nights in whatever city we were in than I did at home! Even though it sounds like an obvious decision to people who can’t imagine that lifestyle, it was still really hard to walk away. I’m so, so glad that you found the job that is perfect for you!!! And yes, with the running coach thing – it was something I wanted to do even before I considered that as an addition to my career, but now it makes even more sense!
Missed this post the first time but it truly resonates with me. I was a management consultant from 1995 – 2003 and prided myself (after early health/wellness failure) on staying in shape and eating right on the road. I ran over 15 marathons and tons of other races during that time and converted many colleagues to runners and healthier eaters. Last year, I left a very unfulfilling health IT job to go back to a corporate health and wellness job but it fell through. I am now blogging, doing some independent consulting and looking for the next “right” new thing.
I wish you all the best in your new career. It seems like you are meant for it and can only succeed!
Wow, Erica, it seems like you’ve really been through some ups and downs! I bet we’d have a lot to talk about – shoot me an email if you ever want to bounce ideas off one another. In the meantime, good luck finding the “right” thing! I’m pulling for you!
Meg: When I reread your incredibly inspiring and so very “from the heart” blog entry of Jan. 6th, 2014, it brings a tear to my eye = tears of joy for you and you courage to take such a wonderful and courageous leap of faith, with the conviction that you, and all of us, should do what needs to be done to find true personal happiness. You rock, Girl!
Thank you for your constant support, Gary. It really does mean a lot!
Wow Megan, I’m so happy for you. This blog post was super motivational. You are right, “dream jobs” don’t exist, we must create them. This is what I have just started and I feel happy for my first step. After being a teacher for 12 years, I decided to leave the school and become a writer. Maybe I am not best at it, but writing is what I enjoy most in my life.. After a month my first book will be published. | 2019-04-22T03:30:44Z | https://www.thelyonsshare.org/2014/01/06/living-the-life-i-have-imagined/ |

Pet rabbits аrе bесоming аѕ popular tо hаvе аѕ indoor pets аѕ a dog оr cat. With ѕо mаnу rabbit breeds tо choose from, finding оnе with desirable physical traits iѕ easy. Aѕ with аnу pet, уоu ѕhоuld educate уоurѕеlf аѕ muсh аѕ роѕѕiblе bеfоrе making thе purchase оr adoption. Buying pet rabbits оn thе spur оf thе moment iѕ nоt a good idea; it ѕhоuld bе wеll thought out.
Thеrе аrе ѕеvеrаl diffеrеnt options whеrе tо purchase уоur pet rabbit from; a reputable breeder, a pet store, оr уоu саn adopt thеm аѕ wеll (my favorite). Yоu саn adopt frоm local SPCA’s оr rabbit adoption agencies оr rescue groups. Yоur humane society in уоur community, оr vet саn lead уоu tо оnе in уоur area.
Aѕ with аnу оthеr animal, pet rabbits hаvе personalities. A сеrtаin breed dоеѕ nоt mеаn thаt thеу аrе friendlier, mоrе hyper, mоrе anything. Thеу аrе whо thеу are. Juѕt аѕ уоu саn’t ѕау thаt a сеrtаin breed оf dog iѕ mоrе vicious thаn thе other, a lot оf pet rabbits’ characteristics аrе learned behaviors аnd if thоѕе behaviors аrе undesirable, уоur pet саn bе rehabilitated аnd trained.
Observe уоur rabbit ѕеvеrаl timеѕ bеfоrе уоu make thе purchase; thiѕ will hеlр уоu tо notice сеrtаin behaviors. Compare thеm with оthеr rabbits thеу аrе around. Cаn уоu ѕее a difference in behavior? If thе rabbit уоu hаvе уоur eye оn ѕееmѕ relaxed аnd calm, hе оr ѕhе iѕ рrоbаblу a calm rabbit. Thеу will еvеn lay dоwn comfortably with thеir hind legs stretched оut аnd thеir front оnеѕ оut tо thе front оf them. And it dоеѕ nоt matter whаt thе breed is. A Mini Rex mау bе calm аnd a Flemish Giant hyper, оr vice versa. Dо nоt bеliеvе аnуоnе thаt tells уоu a сеrtаin breed iѕ a сеrtаin way. Breed iѕ nоt gоing tо determine personality in pet rabbits, оr аnу animal, fоr thаt matter.
Pet rabbits love tо chew, аnd thеу nееd tо in order tо maintain healthy teeth. It iѕ a natural wау tо kеер thеir teeth frоm overgrowing. Dо nоt discourage chewing аnd bе ѕurе tо givе thеm proper chew toys.

You write a script and create a scheduled task to run it. It runs fine every night for weeks. Then you notice that the work has been piling up. You check Task Scheduler, and it reports the task completed successfully. But it also reports that the script finished in seconds when it should have taken several minutes. What happened?
Well first of all, your script is broken. But I don't care. You can figure that out by yourself. It's your imaginary script, after all.
More interesting is what happened with Task Scheduler.
Task Scheduler was told to launch PowerShell with a parameter to run the script. It did that successfully. It then waits for PowerShell to finish and go away, and log the completion time. It did that successfully as well. Task Scheduler doesn't know or care what did or did not happen during the execution of the script. As far as it is concerned, this was yet another task perfectly executed.
But we want to know the script failed, and we want a hint as to why.
You will see this same behavior and face this same challenge when you launch PowerShell scripts from System Center Orchestrator, or from a command line, or from within another PowerShell script, or from anything else that lets you do such things.
What we want to do, of course, is pass a result code back to the calling application, in our case, Task Scheduler, so that it can respond when appropriate, or at least log the result code.
There are two steps to accomplish this: passing a result code out of the script, and passing the result code on to the calling application.
The trick to the second part, is instead of telling PowerShell to run your script, you tell it to run a two-line code snippet, which in turn runs your script, and then returns the result code.
Dot referencing the script executes it.
$LastResultCode is a built-in variable where PowerShell stores the result code from the last time something within our script or code snippet ran a child instance or PowerShell and returned a result code.
The Exit function exits the code snippet and passes out the contents of $LastResultCode as the result code for the snippet, which in turn will be used as the result code for the task.
Similarly, we use Exit to exit the script and pass a result code out to the snippet.
Or you can use built in variables to test the success of a command and if exit it fails.
To signal successful completion of the script, Exit with code 0, or use Exit without an explicit code, or just let your script finish normally without an Exit function.
Thanks to Ben Schneider at General Mills for his great talk about automation with System Center Orchestrator at the Minneapolis System Center Users Group, which inspired this article.
Nice article again, and practical! Wish I had this when I was learning about exit codes. Now, I use a different exit code for every possible failure condition. Easier and faster than anything to find where in the code it broke... LastResultCode was 13, search for "exit 13" in my code and there's where it broke. Then I can trace through with the debug/verbose messages.

I believe that living and learning is the intersection where passion and excitement meet experimentation and knowledge. And, it is now my new favorite tag-line. It represents so much optimism, hope, and enthusiasm for life and for all the possibilities available to everyone.
I haven't always loved this old adage because I had heard it uttered too many times in a chiding tone that indicated that someone had goofed and the consequential lesson was not necessarily positive. In any case, I have, until recently, viewed this expression with distaste and unease.
Why has my perception of these three words changed so drastically? As mentioned in this recent post, I have come to realize that living involves an uncertain number of errors; those mistakes are what allow us to acquire a new understanding about ourselves and about the world around us. Blunders are essential to the very act of being alive.
This expression, however, is not relegated to the learning accessed from simply making mistakes. It also conveys the pure joy of following our passion and interests to the conceptualization of new ideas that lead us to new growth experiences.
Now consider asking a young person, “if school and a diploma were no object, what would you do? Yes, living and learning without school really is an option open to anyone.
A couple days ago, while pondering these previous ideas that were just not coalescing into a blog post, I was staring absently out the window at the impenetrable wall of dense foliage that surrounds our house and the following analogy quite literally popped into my head: Goldfish will only grow as big as the tank they are housed in allows them to. If they live in a five gallon aquarium, they will always be smallish fish, when they are released into a backyard pond, they will have the opportunity and space to get much larger.
Now reflect on this: When we (humans) confine ourselves within cultural norms, like those pet fish swimming 'round and 'round in circles, we will only develop within those constricting ideas.
When we can ignore societal messages and live our lives according to what makes us happy, we quite literally open up the space in our hearts and minds for passion to thrive. Embracing the philosophy of living and learning engenders open-minded free-thinkers who explore the possibilities and take the opportunities presented and who will also grow exponentially in the process. These pioneers are the people who have the great ideas, the ones who try, fail, and try again. They are the folks who delight in sharing the amazing tales of living and learning. | 2019-04-21T18:40:20Z | http://www.deeprootcenter.org/blog/live-and-learn |
The Volstead Act was repealed on this date in 1933, returning control of alcohol to the states, and it was a happy day at the F.X. Matt Brewery.
UTICA, N.Y. -- A total of 85 years ago Wednesday marked the end of prohibition, which meant legally drinking beer again. And for the Matt family from Utica – that meant getting back to selling beer again.
They let customers and suppliers know that at midnight, they could deliver, buy, and drink beer at the brewery once again.
The local business managed to survive 13 years.
"Kept it going with soft drinks and malt tonic and malt syrups, but this was a special day. In fact, he sent a letter out to announce beer was available at midnight, the next day, actually,” said F.X. Matt Brewery CEO/Chairman Nick Matt.
Matt says sales dropped off 75 percent when prohibition went into effect. And thanks to the current craft beer movement, business has been growing by leaps and bounds. | 2019-04-24T02:01:07Z | https://www.wktv.com/content/news/FX-Matt-Brewery-looks-back-on-prohibitions-end-85-years-502012381.html |

In 2012, he evaded capture by the F.B.I. and the Mexican federal police by ducking out the back door of his oceanview mansion in Los Cabos into a patch of thorn bushes. Two years later, after he was recaptured in a hotel in Mazatlán by the D.E.A. and the Mexican marines, he escaped from prison again — this time, through a lighted, ventilated, mile-long tunnel dug into the shower of his cell.
But following his last arrest — after a gunfight in Los Mochis, Mexico in 2016 — Mr. Guzmán was extradited to Brooklyn, where federal prosecutors had initially indicted him in 2009. He also faced indictment in six other American judicial districts.
The top charge of the Brooklyn indictment named Mr. Guzmán as a principal leader of a “continuing criminal enterprise” to purchase drugs from suppliers in Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Mexico’s Golden Triangle — an area including the states of Sinaloa, Durango and Chihuahua where most of the country’s heroin and marijuana are produced.
The prosecution was years in the making and Mr. Guzmán’s trial drew upon investigative work by the F.B.I., the D.E.A., the United States Coast Guard, Homeland Security Investigations and federal prosecutors in Chicago, Miami, San Diego, Washington, New York and El Paso, Tex. The trial team also relied on scores of local American police officers and the authorities in Ecuador, Colombia and the Dominican Republic.
The evidence presented at the trial included dozens of surveillance photos, three sets of detailed drug ledgers, several of the defendant’s handwritten letters and hundreds of his most intimate — and incriminating — phone calls and text messages intercepted through four separate wiretap operations.
Prosecutors used all of this to trace Mr. Guzmán’s 30-year rise from a young, ambitious trafficker with a knack for speedy smuggling to a billionaire narco lord with an entourage of maids and secretaries, a portfolio of vacation homes — even a ranch with a personal zoo. | 2019-04-21T02:33:32Z | http://www.freemedia24.com/el-chapo-found-guilty-on-all-counts-faces-life-in-prison/ |
As employers search for applicants within labor pools that were once considered taboo, the employment process has become a corporate version of the game we used to play as kids . . . hide-and-seek. Unscrupulous prospective employees have no incentive to reveal their tarnished work histories. In fact, they do everything they can to cover them up. When successful, they put employers at great risk.
Low unemployment has made it more difficult and expensive to recruit employees. Since it is so much harder to get quality applicants than it was in the past, it can be tempting for managers to cut corners, overlook potential problems, and hope for the best.
Employers have no choice but to protect themselves. It's imperative that they do all within their power to gather the information they need to make sound hiring decisions. The risks associated with hiring from the least-desirable applicant pools are much greater. The consequences are more severe. Using a hiring process that fails to incorporate background checks, interviews, skill assessments, personality assessments, attitude assessments, educational verifications, trial periods, and reference checks is like agreeing to play Russian roulette without observing all the chambers of the weapon first.

A spate of mass killings in southern Venezuela is stirring international concern as the country’s political and economic crisis continues to drive a migrant exodus.
Read my Q&A with International Crisis Group.
The Dutch island’s geographic proximity – it lies 65 kilometres north of the Venezuelan coast – and cultural and economic ties to its mainland neighbour make Curaçao a logical destination for those fleeing Venezuela’s economic meltdown and autocratic rule.
Yet the island is anything but a safe haven.

There is no specific blood test for lymphoma.
Leukemia & Lymphoma Awareness month goes beyond wearing a colored ribbon or taping a flyer in a clinic window. Doctors should be attuned to differentials and patients should voice concerns over unexplained symptoms—perhaps insisting on accurate testing rather than empirical evaluations.
Lymphoma is a cancer of the lymphocytes (white blood cells) that typically play a key role in fighting infection. The lymphatic system is part of the circulatory system, comprising a network of conduits called lymphatic vessels that carry a clear fluid called lymph towards the heart. Collections of lymph nodes are found in the neck, underarms, chest, abdomen, and groin. Lymphatic tissue is also located in other parts of the body, including the stomach, skin, and small intestine. A multidisciplinary approach is useful to optimally manage patients with rare or complex neoplasms.
There are two broad types of lymphoma—Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and many subclassifications. The main difference between HL and NHL is in the specific lymphocyte each involves. Because of so many variations, it is not uncommon for medical practitioners to offer differing diagnosis for the same symptoms or even lab results. In fact, a second opinion of pathologist biopsy interpretation (whether negative or positive) may be equally, if not more, important than a second opinion for an oncologist’s treatment plan. Differences between malignant and benign cells can be subtle and interpretations can be subjective.
People with Sjogren’s syndrome are 44 times more likely to develop non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Dry eyes and aching joints can be precursors to lymphoma since people with Sjogren’s syndrome are 44 times more likely to develop NHL. If you have Sjogren’s syndrome, report any of the main early NHL symptoms to your general practitioner—a painless swelling in a lymph node (gland), usually in the neck, armpit or groin. Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (MALT) lymphoma affects lymphatic tissue in parts of the body such as the stomach, gut, lungs and eyes. This B-cell lymphoma can, therefore, manifest dry eyes as secondary symptom.
In the United States, B-cell lymphomas (lymphocytes originating from bone marrow) account for about 85% of non-hodgkin lymphomas. The most common type is diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with average onset of 63-66 years of age. It is distinguished as a quickly growing mass within a lymph node.
Therapeutic targets for diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma include RelA NF-κB and IRAK4 Kinase.
Primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) accounts for only 2% of all lymphomas. It is more prevalent among women in their 30s. PMBCL is similar to DLBCL but with fibrosis and generally localized in the middle of the chest. Both types respond well to treatment. Intravascular large B‑cell lymphoma is a rare subtype of DLBCL affecting blood vessels.
Though most lymphomas manifest within internal organs, cutaneous T‑cell lymphomas (skin lymphoma or mycosis fungoides) can be observed externally. The problem with diagnosis is that there is great variation in appearance. Cutaneous pseudolymphoma is not a disease but rather an inflammatory response to known or unknown stimuli that results in a lymphomatous-appearing but benign accumulation of inflammatory cells. Pseudolymphomas often show broad patches and plaques. They often mimic cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. Examples include actinic reticuloid, lymphomatoid contact dermatitis, and lymphomatoid drug eruptions.
Mycosis fungoides (MF) makes up 72% of CTCL. Sezary syndrome is an advanced, variant form of MF, which is characterized by the presence of lymphoma cells in the blood. Extensive thin, red, itchy rashes usually cover over 80% of the body in MF.
Classic MF primarily arises in the double-clothed areas of the body: axillae, breasts, groin, and buttock primarily presented with thin, red, scaly, poorly demarcated plaques of at least 5cm in diameter. Over time the morphology tends toward thickening of the plaques to more erythematous prominence, and, of course, tumors that may ulcerate. Early MF can be subtle and usually lacks classic histopathologic signs, therein causing so much trouble for making the early definitive diagnosis. This is why I do not rely solely on pathology to confirm early-stage disease.
Slow growing lymphomas have the best early cure rate. The dichotomy is that they are generally discovered after disease has progressed to an advanced stage. High-grade aggressive lymphomas are often symptomatic early on and are potentially curable with aggressive treatments.
Pain is not a primary symptom. Skin lesions that do not heal, deep or surface lumps in the neck, armpits, chest, breasts, abdomen or groin should be brought to the attention of appropriate medical professionals. Diagnosis may involve a physical exam, blood tests, imaging tests, and/or surgical biopsy of a swollen lymph node or bone marrow collection to determine A or B category of four progressive stages. It is estimated that 9,290 men and women (5,070 men and 4,220 women) were diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2013. Acording to the American Cancer Society, about 74,680 people, including children, (41,730 males and 32,950 females) will be diagnosed with NHL this year. | 2019-04-23T18:04:38Z | https://clinicalposters.com/blogs/health/early-warning-lymphoma |

Mae McCann’s house on rue de Clarendon in Quyon was decked out for the Quyon Pastoral Charge’s annual home tour on Dec. 3.
The home of Richard and Crystal Lance won the Otter Lake home decorating contest over the weekend, beating out 25 other area abodes. The judges were impressed with the overall theme, music and lighting.
It was early in the afternoon on a Thursday, and I was in need of a feature story. In the two-plus years as deputy editor at this paper, it was a situation I’d faced many times before, but had become no less daunting.
Like manna from heaven, a message appeared in my inbox when I returned from lunch. It turned out to be from Otter Lake councillor Desiree Tremblay-Giroux, inviting me to participate as a judge for their R.A.’s second annual house-decorating contest.
Normally I wouldn’t hesitate to roll around the neighbourhood judging other people for their aesthetic choices, but to be honest, Christmas festivities really aren’t my thing.
I’ve got nothing against folks getting into the spirit, but I’ve never understood the overly-chipper people that seem to live for their Yuletide carols and eggnog, earnestly polishing their nutcrackers and ornaments during the offseason. | 2019-04-25T02:21:42Z | http://www.theequity.ca/i-went-on-two-home-tours-to-find-my-christmas-spirit/ |
In a week where Pinterest’s IPO is gathering steam and preparing to dump 75 million shares on investors, Lyft is threatening to sue Morgan Stanley, and Bank of America is getting out in front of the “Fight for 15ers” by hiking its minimum wage to $20/hour, Dan Ferris parses the news to tell listeners what they can really expect from it all.
And as gold prices continue their stealth bull run – closing up another $4 an oz last Monday to hit $1,3000 as Dan records this – Dan reveals his all-time favorite way to play precious metals – a business structure that puts YOU first in line for profits.
He then introduces this week’s guest, Brian Dalton. Brian co-founded the only mining company Dan has ever recommended without a trailing stop – he’s that confident in its position.
For a limited time, you can access Dan's premium Extreme Value research, along with his No. 1 investing idea of all-time, for a 20% discount. Learn more here.
01:30: Dan explains the best ways to take advantage of gold and other metals as investments - as well as the one gold-related business you DON'T want to be involved in.
05:45: How can you slash risk from an investment in precious metals? Turns out, there's one play on precious metals that puts you front in line for profits. "No matter what happens to the mine's owner, no matter how the ownership is transferred, if there's a bankruptcy or whatever, your interest remains intact."
11:25: Dan reveals one major red flag in the sector. "When a company calls themselves a prospect generator, and then talks about this big flagship prospect, that's their biggest thing... you need to take a pause there."
13:23: Dan gets into Pinterest's looming IPO. 250 million people use the product monthly, and spill out their passions and interests for the world to see there - so why is it worth so much less than Facebook?
20:08: As Bank of America raises its minimum wage to $20, Dan explains why increased wages are really just wage inflation - and when inflation finally hits wages, you know it's real.
22:38: Dan introduces this week's podcast guest, Brian Dalton. Brian co-founded Altius in 1997 while studying geology at Memorial University of Newfoundland. He has been the President and CEO of Altius from its inception, over which time the company has grown from a market capitalization of less than $1 million to approximately $550 million today, with projected high-margin royalty revenue this year of around $70 million coming in from 15 mines. A long-term contrarian investor by nature, he relishes the wild cyclical valuation swings that characterize the mineral exploration and mining industries.
26:20: Dan asks Brian about the unique positioning of his company before its big discovery - in the middle of a 17-18 year bear market that made minerals as hated as they'd ever been. "We walked into an IPO in the darkest days of the mining industry... maybe in decades."
30:28: Dan asks Brian to sum up the basic history and prospects of Altius for his listeners, and Brian explains how he turned his company from the brink of bankruptcy.
35:00: Brian explains how a great buying opportunity supercharged his company's royalties - "we bought and bought and then we bought some more, and here we are today." Now, the royalties have grown from $3-5 million to $70 million since Dan's been following them.
44:50: What could change in Brian's business model? Anything's possible - but as he says, "I'm just gonna run with the guess that making gobs of money and having it compound at crazy rates for a long time will ultimately pay off."
58:44: Dan takes a question in the mailbag from Carl T., who attempts to call him out for his claim that the U.S. Dollar has lost 95% of its value over the last 100 years. "That doesn't make sense!" | 2019-04-20T15:12:09Z | https://investorhour.com/episodes/how-to-collect-income-from-gold |

Dry Skin Giving You The Winter Blues?
I know everyone thinks that living in sunny South Florida prevents us from suffering during the winter. We do have a lot of warm days in comparison to the rest of the U.S., but no sooner am I preparing for Thanksgiving, does the moisture from my skin begin to deplete.
Luckily I have my favorite duo of body products to rescue me! For years, I've been using Neutrogena Rainbath ($7.99) refreshing shower and bath gel. It's gentle enough to use year-round no matter how sensitive my skin is, and the fresh fragrance turns my shower into my own personal spa. Speaking of the scent, unlike its fruity and floral counterparts, Rainbath can be enjoyed by both men and women.
After indulging in a warm shower, put some Neutrogena Body Oil ($9.99) on your hands and rehydrate your body with its light sesame formula. At first you might worry, as I did, that it would leave a greasy mess. But it's powerful enough to bring your skin back to life without leaving behind any evidence.
*Disclosure: I received these products for review, but all thoughts are my own. To be honest, I used these to re-stock my own personal supply! | 2019-04-26T05:52:24Z | http://www.fabgirlmag.com/2014/02/dry-skin-giving-you-winter-blues.html |

Ronny Deila blamed a rutted, ploughed Hampden pitch for his side's failure to inflict League Cup embarrassment upon Rangers.
Denying they removed their feet from the pedal after the break Deila warned the SPFL the awful pitch wasn't good enough - and wrecked his team's efforts to play passing football.
Asked if he urged his players to consolidate their lead at half-time the Norwegian insisted: 'I didn't say that – I said to go for three.
'But we wanted to really go and just kill the game.
'But we killed it another way – we were solid at the back and kept them away from the goal.
'We wanted to attack more, but I have to make the excuse as well that we are a passing team and we had no chance to pass the ball on that pitch.
Relaid in the aftermath of the Commonwealth Games the surface at the National Stadium cut up badly during Dundee United;s victory over Aberdeen in the other semi on Saturday.
Urging Hampden plc and the SPFL to make sure the surface if repaired adequately before the first showpiece final of the season on March 15 Deila added: 'If you are going to develop Scottish football you need pitches you can play football on.
'If you are going to go four or five months with poor pitches all over the country then every game will be in the air.
'If you are talking about Champions League it's not even near.
'This is the national team's stadium – it has to be much better.
Delighted with his side's first half display – less so with the second – Deila savoured his first experience of an Old Firm derby.
'It can't be better. It was a very good day.
'There was an unbelievable atmosphere in the stadium.
The Celtic boss will now turn his attentions to transfer reinforcements today with an increased bid for Dundee United Stuart Armstrong expected.
A £1.5million offer was rejected on Friday and the midfielder would miss the League Cup Final, cup tied if he made the move.
Declining to expand Deila added: 'We want to add people tomorrow and keep everybody. We are now in the critical period. On Tuesday we will know the answer, which will be good for you and for me.
Celtic have also secured Tannadice winger Gary Mackay-Steven on a pre-contract agreement in the summer and must decide whether to pay £250,000 to secure him now.
Bolton Wanderers could also launch a formal bid to sign Celtic goalscorer Kris Commons today, despite Deila insisting the 31-year-old is staying.
Celtic are also considering a move for South Korean free agent Kim Bo-Kyung. | 2019-04-23T22:26:39Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2935433/Pitch-blame-not-embarrassing-Rangers-claims-Celtic-boss-Ronny-Delia.html |

When I visited New Zealand in 2015, I spent the majority of my time in Christchurch. The primary reason for my trip to the area was to attend a Geocaching Mega Event in the area known as Kaiapoi. I spent nine days in and around Christchurch exploring the city and the countryside.
I will cover most of the main area’s I visited in Christchurch in this post. However, there are a couple of posts that I have previously shared a little about my time in Christchurch. I will list them below if you want to read more about my time in Christchurch.
I visited Hagley Park on numerous occasions while in Christchurch, both as a place to walk and to find a few Geocaches. The park itself is almost like a break or buffer between the Christchurch CBD and the suburb of Riccarton.
There are many large trees throughout the park and many beautiful gardens. There is even a relatively shallow waterway that it is possible to kayak through as well.
Hagley Park also incorporates the Christchurch Botanical Gardens. Throughout there are many beautiful gardens full of flowers at the time that I visited.
The Groynes is a rather large park with many walking trails and a range of dog off leash areas. There are also some beautiful areas through the park such as this one with a tributary of the Waimakariri River running past.
Cathedral Square sits at the centre of Christchurch when you look at Christchurch on the map. Depending on the map the city name will be almost on top. It is also the place where the Christchurch Cathedral, which was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake stands still very much damaged.
As you look at the buildings around the square, it can be rather difficult to see why some are barricaded off. While others show the very visible signs of the damage from the earthquake. Such as the building below which is fenced off but has no external signs of damage.
I did not spend a lot of time in the Christchurch Central Business District. But on the one chance, I had to walk around there was a couple of interesting features that I spotted. The first was at one point when I came across this waterwheel. It does seem to be a relic of the past, but I wonder for what it might have been used.
There is also the Bridge of Remembrance; I am not certain if the repairs were for the bridge itself or the archway. However, it is dedicated to those who died in World War I and serves as a memory to those who participated in both world wars.
One interesting area of Christchurch that is new since the earthquake is the Renew Shopping Mall. It is in this area that a lot of shipping containers have been used to rapidly build a place for the shops to operate.
It is an interesting area, and I wish I had been a coffee drinker at the time I visited as this might have been a good spot for coffee.
There is a temporary art installation which in some ways acts as a memorial to the lives lost in the 2011 Earthquake. There sits here 185 empty white chairs each one representing a life lost in the earthquake.
While I was out looking for Geocaches around Christchurch, there were some amazing spots that I discovered. This particular spot is near to a location known as Sign of the Kiwi and looks down across the hills to Governors Bay.
The Waimakariri River runs a little to the north of Christchurch. The river flows for around 150km from the Southern Alps, across the Canterbury Plains to the Pacific Ocean. At this location, it is quite wide almost at the Pacific Ocean, but further upstream it flows in a braided fashion.
The city of Christchurch and the surrounding area offers so much to see and explore. What I have shared today in this post is just a fraction of what I got to see myself and a smaller fraction of what is there to explore. I just did not always have the camera out at the right times to capture everything in pictures. I know that I will return to the area one day and delve in a little deeper, especially on some of the walks and hikes. | 2019-04-19T19:06:07Z | http://www.travelexplored.com/exploring-christchurch-new-zealand/ |

It's been almost too hot to think. It's hard to plot stories or craft beautiful sentences when you're wilting. Not that I'm complaining. Who knows how long the lovely weather will last? I would encourage everyone to avoid spending all day at their computer, if they can. Slap on the suncreen, don your sunglasses and possibly a hat, and set your chair up in a shady spot outside.
Researching a novel can be fun or frustrating, but it's always time consuming and, all too often, the facts that you find the most fascinating never make it into the finished work. That doesn't mean that the hours spent checking websites, hunting out books and talking to experts are wasted.
When you go on holiday, it isn't unusual to see people taking photo after photo, barely taking the time to focus. In fact, they're so intent on getting the shot that they don't even really look at the things they're taking photos of. When they look at them afterwards they probably have trouble remembering that they were there. | 2019-04-25T08:31:27Z | http://www.ksdearsley.com/blog/archive/2014/July |
Acorn 2 is out and it’s getting very positive press. Unfortunately, much of it is from the usual suspects — i.e. folks who use their image editor for cropping and adding captions — so the question is, really is it any good?
Acorn remains the cheapest of the credible Photoshop replacements at $50. (Upgrades from 1.x are $20. I just paid for mine.) And with Acorn’s free version, competing products that don’t offer significant levels of usability and functionality are pretty much screwed. Here’s an updated version of my giant table comparing the three main contenders. Significant changes are in bold.
Excellent Core Image support Excellent Core Image support and some additional useful filters, such as Clouds. Comprehensive set of filters (including some marked improvements over Photoshop) but no Core Image support. Stuff that Core Image doesn’t give you like comprehensive noise reduction tools, and fractal clouds. Oh and you can create and reuse named presets for almost everything.
Slicing support. Photoshop-style (but far simpler) web export dialog with file-size preview etc. Some random subset of Fireworks is implemented (slicing, button states, etc.). Not really sure how good or extensive it is (much more extensive than Pixelmator or Acorn) since I have no use for such stuff.
Being able to use one layer as a mask for layers adjacent to it.
It’s probably worth mentioning that all three of these programs have a lot of rough edges. Of the three, I’d have to say Photoline’s bugs get addressed the most quickly, while Pixelmator’s get addressed the most slowly. While writing this blog entry I encountered a half-dozen bugs in Acorn 2.1 and if I did not think they would be addressed in a reasonably timely manner I would not recommend Acorn to anyone (or pay for the upgrade).
It’s a bit unfair to compare a major new version of Acorn with a couple of “bump” releases from its rivals. Acorn 2 has definitely moved from being an over-hyped toy to a genuinely useful piece of software which still launches in under a second. Meanwhile, Acorn’s free version is going to be painful for anyone else writing a thin wrapper around Core Image. The bottom line is that Pixelmator retains its edge as the best “painting” program, but Acorn has the edge for more professional use (e.g. all kinds of scripting and workflow animation options), while Photoline wins the “ugly but really powerful” prize.
Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac has shipped which means bad times for half-assed shareware products pretending to be cheap Photoshop replacements. It’s not that Elements is itself a Photoshop replacement, it’s just that it’s more of one than the half-assed wannabes.
If you’ve been keeping score, the candidates are Pixelmator, Acorn, Iris, and Photoline. I’ve tried them all and the short version of my opinion is that Pixelmator is a pretty but ultimately useless piece of junk, Iris is an ugly, useless piece of junk, Acorn is a tidy, scriptable little app that works well but will almost certainly be missing some feature you need, and that Photoline is actually a credible replacement for Photoshop in a pinch, although it’s a bit ugly.
I can’t stress enough how it fundamentally doesn’t matter what else a graphics program does, if you can’t select what you want, everything else is a waste of time. This is like trying to ship a word-processor with broken text selection*.
Pixelmator and Acorn both have incredibly nice front ends for CoreImage. Just how much faster and more interactive these are than Photoshop’s filters is just breathtaking — I might be tempted to switch to Pixelmator just to use its zoom blur filter on the rare occasions I use zoom blur — but the sad thing is that Photoshop’s are good enough (as are Photoline’s) and unless you have no taste, filters are NOT the thing you spend most, or even a significant fraction, of your time in with an image editing application.
One of the really nice things about good freeware and shareware is availability in a pinch. If I find myself needing to edit an image on some random computer, I can download Photoline, using the license stored in my gmail account, perform my edit, and then uninstall in a matter of minutes. Most shareware apps aren’t so large that downloading them is painful (Photoline for the Mac is ~20MB) while Photoshop Elements is a 1.25 GB download and involves product activation.
Before Photoshop Elements came out only two of the wannabe apps could even begin to justify their existence. Acorn is scriptable, making it intrinsically useful for workflow automation in a way that Pixelmator and Iris can never be. Iris is simply a joke, while Pixelmator could be useful one day. Photoline is a useful Photoshop replacement in a pinch, and its capabilities complement Photoshop Elements’ capabilities since Photoshop Elements has features photographers will want, while Photoline fills the gaps if you don’t want or can’t afford Photoshop CS3.
* Well, Microsoft does that and seems to make money. You cannot select parts of two different words in Microsoft Word. E.g. if you accidentally typed “teh rpoblem with Word” you can’t select the hilited text to fix it. Once a selection extends beyond one word, Word forces you to select entire words, leading to endless annoyance. | 2019-04-25T00:19:48Z | http://loewald.com/blog/tag/photoshop/page/2/ |
Oscar-winning film star Sean Connery and his wife have been subpoenaed to testify before a Spanish judge in an investigation into a property scandal, court sources said Thursday - reports the AFP.
The 80-year-old actor, who currently lives in the Bahamas, was named in May in the investigation dubbed "Goldfinger" after the 1964 James Bond film and which involves the sale of his luxury seaside villa near the jet-set resort of Marbella.
Connery sold the villa, named Malibu, in 1999 reportedly for around nine million dollars (6.5 million euros).
The villa was subsequently knocked down, and a four-storey luxury apartment complex with 72 flats was built on the land where it once stood in 2004-2005, despite planning rules which said only five homes could be constructed on it.
In May police raided the Madrid and Marbella offices of a law firm which is believed to have handled the sale of the firm.
The Scottish actor and his French-born wife, Micheline, have been summoned to appear before the judge in Marbella on October 15, court sources said.
The two have not been arrested and are not facing any charges in the case.
The regional newspaper Diario Sur reported Thursday that British authorities in Spain had provided the court with the couple's address in the Bahamas.
The judge said that if they fail to appear he "may use all legal means under both the national and international law to compel them," the paper said.
It said among others named in the case are former mayor of Marbella Julian Munoz and the city's one-time chief of urban planning, Juan Antonio Roca, who are on trial in the Malaga property corruption scandal that led to the dissolution of the town council in the glitzy resort of Marbella in 2006. | 2019-04-19T16:18:16Z | https://www.mi6-hq.com/news/index.php?itemid=8955 |
As things have become might crafty of late I thought I'd share with you some of my current works and projects in progress.
I've been working on quite a few things already this month, some are stocking up on staple pieces for my Etsy shop and lots are brand new things I've never tried before!
The first thing I wanted to show you it my first ever baby jumper. Not long ago a lovely customer of mine complimented some of my nursery decor suggesting that she would love to see more gender neutral things on the market, and ever since I've been on a wild adventure to test my skills and incorporate a gender neutral collection into my shop.
This jumper is my first ever attempt at making tiny person sized clothes and I'm super pleased with how it came out. I love the colours, I like the pattern, and its so so uber soft, now just seam it all together and you'll be able to find it in the shop very soon!
I've also been working on a ton of different pompom crafts. Its amazing how much you can do with pompoms and I'm obsessed with my new pompom makers (you might remember I wrote about these in a post last week) so I can wait to share all my creations with you.
For now I'm going to keep them a secret but if you can guess, some of the clues are in the picture! Let me know in the comments if you think you figured it out!
I'm also expanding my Celtic knot jewellery collection to include an assortment of new knots, links and colours. Although I think these look a bit shocker in the photos (thank you bright sunlight!) I really think they are going to turn out great.
Lastly on my current Pips is a collection of bunting. I think knitted bunting can have a high risk of looking super out-dated, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve to really make these special.
So that's everything I have to show you this week.
I'd really like to start doing tutorials on here, so if there's anything you've seen of anything you think of you've always wanted to know how to make, let me know in the comments and I'd love to start a simple DIY series. | 2019-04-24T08:19:22Z | http://www.theasthinkings.co.uk/2015/07/wips-pips-1.html |

Is B/E Aerospace Inc (NASDAQ:BEAV) Going to Burn These Hedge Funds?
Does B/E Aerospace Inc (NASDAQ:BEAV) represent a good buying opportunity at the moment? Let’s briefly check the hedge fund sentiment towards the company. Hedge fund firms constantly search out bright intellectuals and highly-experienced employees and throw away millions of dollars on research activities, so it is no wonder why they tend to generate millions in profits each year. It is also true that some hedge fund players fail unconceivably on some occasions, but their stock picks have been generating superior risk-adjusted returns on average over the years.
B/E Aerospace Inc (NASDAQ:BEAV) investors should be aware of a decrease in hedge fund sentiment of late. BEAV was in 46 hedge funds’ portfolios at the end of September. There were 50 hedge funds in our database with BEAV holdings at the end of the previous quarter. The level and the change in hedge fund popularity aren’t the only variables you need to analyze to decipher hedge funds’ perspectives. A stock may witness a boost in popularity, but it may still be less popular than similarly priced stocks. That’s why at the end of this article we will examine companies such as Health Net, Inc. (NYSE:HNT), Jacobs Engineering Group Inc (NYSE:JEC), and Aluminum Corp. of China Limited (ADR) (NYSE:ACH) to gather more data points.
If you’d ask most shareholders, hedge funds are viewed as worthless, outdated financial vehicles of years past. While there are more than 8000 funds with their doors open at the moment, We hone in on the masters of this club, about 700 funds. These hedge fund managers preside over bulk of the smart money’s total capital, and by observing their highest performing picks, Insider Monkey has figured out a number of investment strategies that have historically beaten the market. Insider Monkey’s small-cap hedge fund strategy surpassed the S&P 500 index by 12 percentage points a year for a decade in their back tests.
Keeping this in mind, we’re going to take a look at the new action surrounding B/E Aerospace Inc (NASDAQ:BEAV).
How have hedgies been trading B/E Aerospace Inc (NASDAQ:BEAV)?
At Q3’s end, a total of 46 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey held long positions in this stock, a change of -8% from one quarter earlier. With the smart money’s sentiment swirling, there exists a few key hedge fund managers who were boosting their stakes meaningfully (or already accumulated large positions).
According to publicly available hedge fund and institutional investor holdings data compiled by Insider Monkey, Keith Meister’s Corvex Capital has the largest position in B/E Aerospace Inc (NASDAQ:BEAV), worth close to $363 million, comprising 4.3% of its total 13F portfolio. On Corvex Capital’s heels is Thomas Steyer’s Farallon Capital holding a $207.6 million position; the fund has 2.7% of its 13F portfolio invested in the stock. Some other peers that are bullish contain Jonathon Jacobson’s Highfields Capital Management, and Daniel S. Och’s OZ Management.

A big group of people singing together is odd. It really is. Other than a baseball game or occasional birthday party, people don’t usually stand around and sing. But we do every Sunday at church. Why?
For starters it is a part of our history and tradition. We come from a long line of people who sing to and about God. From King David to Bach to Martin Luther to Bono to Sufjan Stevens… men and women have often expressed their faith, whether in painful cries or through passionate praise, with singing.
There’s something significant about the fact that whenever we gather, we sing. But singing isn’t the point— at the heart of our singing is a shared experience. Some people enjoy singing and belt it out with passion and energy. That energy is crucial because there are always those among us who can’t find it in ourselves to sing the words, but just hearing it on someone else’s lips gives hope. But there are also those among us who are less inclined to belt it out and more prone to ponder the words. That kind of deep engagement and reflection is just as crucial. Yet whether a person likes to sing or not, singing isn’t the point. At the heart of our singing is the shared experience of encountering God together.
“We come from a long line of people who sing to and about God.
Often we sing really old songs, songs full of enthronement language: kings, servants, robes, crowns, and diadems. But most of us haven’t used a diadem in years—like, hundreds of years. Yet we keep using this kind of language to sing about God. Why? To remind ourselves that even though the world is constantly changing there is something, someone, unchanging. Some traditions have even used songs as maps, as if the words and notes laid down a trail for others to follow. So we join the chorus of those who for thousands of years have acknowledged that there is something “More” by routinely, intentionally, and often musically creating space to remind ourselves of and orient ourselves around this “More”. The singing isn’t about what people like but rather about together orienting ourselves around God.
Most of what we sing is poetic and not literal: in the Psalms God is like a rock or a shepherd, the righteous are like palm trees or the cedars of Lebanon. There is a point at which literal language fails and poetry is all we’re left with for describing the beauty and truth of who God is. Poetry is porous; it invites a broad spectrum of interpretation and meaning. It’s why we can sing the same song and read the same Bible and have endlessly different experiences. Poetry might be the only equipment we have for wrapping our minds around the bigness of God.
Ironically, there is always a moment in our singing when a leading voice drops away and together we find a collective voice. It never fails, and somehow in that moment everyone is leading and no one is leading. This is the kind of thing that happens when a group of people start tapping into the reality and mystery of a God who is “one”..
Music might be the only equipment we have for wrapping our minds around the majesty and wonder of God. Singing seems to tap into deeper and more honest places than words alone ever could. It has been said that music is the language of the soul. We believe it. | 2019-04-20T16:27:10Z | https://sanctuaryri.org/2013/11/14/why-we-sing/ |
Of all the discussions, debates and readings at the festival, this was my favourite, because it was such a pure reading. Coetzee offered only a brief introduction, took no questions; this was not the usual ten-minute excerpt, either.
Only poets read a complete piece of work these days, and sometimes playwrights. The fiction author must read in excerpts, offering short takes that s/he hopes will be enough to draw you, the reader, into the rest of the work. To have a complete short story, read by an author like Coetzee, is a gift.
After he read, I was thinking about the unequal relationship between readers and auhors. Seated across the famously silent Coetzee at a dinner hosted by Random House the previous day, I had little to say to him: the author has no time for small talk, and doesn’t like discussing his books, which set certain limits on the conversation. We spoke in brief spurts about vegetarian Indian cuisines, about cats; Neel Mukherjee and he discussed the Naxal movement in India, and then we all returned to our shining thalis of gatte ki subzi and kair sangri.
Aside from my own social shyness, I seldom want to talk to the writers whose work has meant the most to me, because that conversation might be both too personal—the year Waiting For Barbarians changed my life, the year Disgrace changed my thinking—and superfluous, because their works gave me as a reader everything I needed. There are writers you read in one voracious gulp, discovering all their books, and obsessively reading everything, every last short story, every out-take and interview, over the course of two, three years—that was how I’d read Garcia Marquez and Tagore.
Coetzee was, for me, the other kind of writer: you discover their writing in your teens, and then you follow them as the books come out, each new book defining and changing a key part of your twenties and thirties. Coetzee had been my window into understanding violence and estrangement and the remoteness of the human heart, and then later, he became perhaps the only twentieth century writer to include animals into his view of the world—not as characters, but as the co-inhabitants of a world we think of as “peopled”, as silent and often helpless sharers in the actions of humankind.
Here is Coetzee, reading one of his Lessons. The writer Neel Mukherjee explained to me that Coetzee’s Lessons were not limited to Elizabeth Costello, but his preferred way of combining the essay with fiction. This lesson is about cats, and why they don’t have faces; about strays of all kinds, and children, and the relationship between parent and child, about estrangement and, perhaps, love. You must imagine him reading this on the vast, crowded lawns of the Diggi Palace in Jaipur, the afternoon sun bright on our faces, the humans silent and rapt, and only the green parrots punctuating Coetzee’s voice with their swift squawks.
Link: The Old Woman and The Cats, read by Coetzee.
That's a lovely introduction to Coetzee and his work. More than any other writer in the recent past, I've connected with Coetzee's work at a deeply personal level – perhaps it is the marked solitude of the stories he tells, the quiet they create or the despair that there is at their heart, it's hard to say. My aim in going to the JLF this year was to see Coetzee, and I doubt that any other kind of session would have been as satisfactory and yes, 'pure' as his was.Once again, many thanks for this (ultimately very personal) post! | 2019-04-22T12:10:21Z | https://nilanjanaroy.com/2011/01/26/jlf-the-old-woman-and-the-cats-read-by-jm-coetzee/ |
Back in 1982, the Endangered Species Act took the ocelot under its protection. The ocelot is a vulnerable creature, susceptible to habitat changes like roads, agriculture, housing developments and trapping. There may be fewer than 100 left in southern United States.
Concerns that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is making the plight of these 'dwarf leopards' worse led the Animal Welfare Institute and WildEarth Guardians to take legal action against the USDA's Wildlife Services program. They are suing Wildlife Services for "failing to ensure that it is not harming ocelots."
Wildlife Services describes itself as a program that resolves human - wildlife conflicts so people can "co-exist" with nature, but often, their solution to wildlife problems involves traps and cyanide capsules. They use these methods to deal with predators that are bothering farmers, but The Animal Welfare Institute and WildEarth Guardians say ocelots are getting caught in the cross-fire, killed by methods that can't tell the difference between an ocelot and a fox.
"Wildlife Services routinely fails to comply with federal laws like the Endangered Species Act," said Tara Zuardo, wildlife attorney with the Animal Welfare Institute in a press release. "Few ocelots remain in the United States and they require basic protection to ensure that they are not killed by the devices—such as steel-jaw leghold traps and cyanide capsules—Wildlife Services indiscriminately uses on public lands to kill wildlife."
This is not the first time the methods of Wildlife Services have been criticised. This June, the Washington Post reported it had killed more than 4 million animals through poisoning, snaring and shooting in 2013 alone.
But from year to year, the number of animals killed by the program fluctuates significantly, from 1.5 to 5 million. In 2008, 5 million animals were killed while over the next four years it was 3 million.The number is not rising, as Wildlife Services suggests, causing critics to question their justification for their methods.
So far, their secretive approach has gone relatively unnoticed. Now, the Animal Welfare Institute and WildEarth Guardians are trying to change that. | 2019-04-20T04:24:36Z | https://www.treehugger.com/endangered-species/us-department-agriculture-accused-refusing-help-endangered-ocelot.html |
Best shocks for the money!!?
Suspension & Steering - 2001 - 2010 Discuss OEM & aftermarket suspension, lifts, street suspension, air ride suspension, steering components, etc. First through fourth generation.
Looking to get some new shocks on my 03 lb7 ccsb not sure how old they are but i plan on doing a 4" lift sometime in the future nothing crazy but im curious of what shocks are good for the money that you can get from advanced , napa , autozone etc just to improve drivability, and comfort. Thanks in advance!
Of course this has been discussed in some length by many people. I have even posted some opinions. A search for shocks, or specific shocks would be wise.
Regardless, it depends on what you’re going to use the truck for. I prefer a mono-tube gas shock over a straight hydraulic and think that the Bilstein 5100, for an off the shelf shock, is the best value for the best of both worlds, on road and off road. Others will argue that. In my opinion, a mono-tube gas shock is built superior to a straight hydraulic shock and usually, this includes the valving.
steakman and GTO_Gregory like this.
I am looking at putting KYB Monomaxes on rig. Its another one to look for.

I just purchased Bilstein 4600 shocks for my 03 LB7 and a Bilstein Steering Stabilizer from shock ware house and got 5% off by being a member on here.
Looking for another CCSB 4X4 D/A..
Every Bilstein I've ever put on my 2500 and 3500 trucks, all stock height, have pounded the lower shock bushing out, in less than 10k miles. **** Bilstein.
My Bilsteins have 182K on them and I've only replaced the lower bushings once. I did extend the shock mounts though so the shock wasn't stopping the A-arm from dropping all the way down.
Don't argue with an idiot, the people watching may not be able to tell you two apart.

The document Software Development Basics gives you an overview of the whole software development process including subjects like Software Engineering and Software Project Management in order to get the whole picture.
Software development signifies the whole process to find a solution for a given problem in using appropriate methods and tools to create a software product. Software development encompasses the phases of the Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) including the use of Software Development Models.
Software development does not necessarily subsume the engineering paradigm !
Software Engineering is an engineering branch associated with development of software products; using well-defined scientific principles and methods. The outcome of Software Engineering is an efficient and reliable software product.
Software Engineering cares also about all the phases of Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) from requirement gathering and analysis to maintenance. It cares also about the Software Development Models.
The generally accepted concepts of Software Engineering as an engineering discipline have been specified in the Guide to the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK). The SWEBOK has become an internationally accepted standard ISO/IEC TR 19759:2005.
Software Project Management is the art and science of planning and leading software projects.
It encompasses among other elements all the phases of Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) from requirement gathering and analysis to maintenance. It includes also the Software Development Models.
If you have to develop a large and complex software project, it is recommended to apply methods and use the tools for Software Project Management in order to have a controlled and guided software development process.
The tasks are carried out according to the used methodologies and in a specified period of time to achieve the intended software product.
The basic purpose of the Software Development Models is to provide a smooth software development process, according to the project requirements.
These models are frameworks, which are used to structure, plan and control the process of developing a software product. The Software Development Models are only concerned with the software development process, so it does not involve any technical aspect of developing the software product itself.
All Software Development Models follow the SDLC phases (see next chapter), but the method of execution varies vastly between models.
The The Software Design Life Cycle (SDLC) contains the phases in the life cycle of a software product. The SDLC phases are the “core” of software development. Usually you will apply the appropriate Software Development Model to the SDLC in order to have a smooth development of your software product.
This phase is the main focus of the project managers and stake holders. It is critical to the success of the project. Expectations (whether of the client or your team) need to be fleshed out in great detail and documented. This is an iterative process with much communication taking place between stakeholders, end users and the project team.
The choice of the appropriate Software Development Model like : Waterfall, Incremental, Agile, Spiral, etc is made in this phase.
Technical design requirements are prepared in this phase by lead development staff that can include architects and lead developers. Technical details like database tables, transactions, security processes as well as hardware and system requirements are defined here.
The choice of the programming paradigms and the programming language are made here.
This phase is the actual coding by the development team. After each stage, the developer may demonstrate the work accomplished to the business analysts. Tweaks and enhancements may be required. This is normally the longest phase of the SDLC. The finished product is the input to the testing phase. Following the coding conventions helps to make code better understandable and easier to maintain.
Once the application is migrated to a test environment, different types of testing will be performed including integration and system testing. User acceptance testing is the last part of testing and is performed by the end users to ensure the system meets their expectations. Once sign-off is obtained by all relevant parties, deployment can begin.
The size of the project will determine the complexity of the deployment. Training may be required for end users, operations and the IT staff. Roll-out of the system may be performed in stages starting with one branch, then slowly adding all locations or it could be a full deployment.
Once the customers starts using the developed system, the actual problems come up and need to be solved from time to time. This process is called maintenance.
Refactoring is also a usual maintenance task.
This chapter presents you some Tools and Methods for each SDLC phase.
The HIPO (Hierarchical Input Process Output) diagram represents the hierarchy of modules in the software system. Analysts use HIPO diagram in order to obtain high-level view of system functions. It decomposes functions into sub-functions in a hierarchical manner.
The Data Flow Diagram is a graphical representation of the flow of data in an information system. It is capable of depicting incoming data flow, outgoing data flow and stored data. The DFD does not mention anything about how data flows through the system.
SADT has proven to be successful in the development of software systems, specifically in the requirements gathering phase. Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT) is a diagrammatic notation designed specifically to help people describe and understand systems. It offers building blocks to represent entities and activities and a variety of arrows to relate boxes. These boxes and arrows have an associated informal semantic. SADT can be used as a functional analysis tool of a given process, using successive levels of details.
The Flowchart depicts the control flow in program modules.
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical language that gives a standard way to write a software system’s blueprint. It helps to visualize, specify, construct and document the artifacts of a software system. It is used to depict the structures and the relationships in a complex system.
The Top-Down design (also called stepwise refinement) takes the whole software system as one entity and then decomposes it into sub-systems. Each sub-system, also called component, is then treated as a system and decomposed further. This process keeps on running until the lowest level of system in the top-down hierarchy is achieved.
Pseudo Code is a non-formal language, a way to create a logical structure. It describes the actions, which will be executed by the application. Using Pseudo Code, the developer describes the application logic using his native language, without applying the structural rules of a specific programming language.
Following a top-down design, the problem at hand is reduced into smaller and smaller subproblems, until only simple statements and control flow constructs remain. Nassi–Shneiderman Diagrams reflect this top-down decomposition in a straightforward way, using nested boxes to represent subproblems. Consistent with the philosophy of structured programming, Nassi–Shneiderman Diagrams have no representation for a GOTO statement. Nassi–Shneiderman Diagrams are only rarely used for formal programming. Their abstraction level is close to structured program code and modifications require the whole diagram to be redrawn.
Jackson structured programming (JSP) is a method for structured programming based on correspondences between data stream structure and program structure. JSP structures programs and data in terms of sequences, iterations and selections. As a consequence it is applied when designing a program’s detailed control structure. The method applies to processing of any data structure or data stream that is describable as a hierarchical structure of sequential, optional and iterated elements.
The Flowchart depicts flow of control in program modules.
The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical language that gives a standard way to write a software system’s blueprint. It helps to visualize, specify, construct, and document the artifacts of a software system. It is used to depict the structures and the relationships in a complex system.
Source Code Editors have built in functionalities to help the programmer to write the code more efficiently and error free.
Libraries are pre-built code blocks you can use in your program. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel, so you can use libraries!
Frameworks normally gather multiple libraries. Frameworks are reusable abstractions of code wrapped in a well-defined Application Programming Interface (API).
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a programming environment that typically consists of a source code editor, a compiler/interpreter, a debugger and other useful tools.
Static Testing is a technique by which we can check for errors in software without actually executing it. Its counter-part is Dynamic Testing. Static testing is done to avoid errors at an early stage of development because it is easier to find sources of failures then failures themselves.
Review is a way of static testing technique done before dynamic testing. Review is manual examination of the software product (including code) without execution of the software. Review is mostly a manual activity.
Walk-Through is a form of peer review in which a programmer leads the review process. The other team members ask questions and spot possible errors against development standards and other issues.
Dynamic Testing is done when the code is in operation mode. It is performed in runtime environment. When the code being executed with an input value, the result or the output of the code is checked and compared with the expected output. This allows to observe the functional behavior of the software and also to monitor the system memory, CPU response time and the performance of the system. Dynamic testing is also known as validation testing.
A debugger is a computer program used by programmers to test and debug a target program. Debuggers may use instruction-set simulators, rather than running a program directly on the processor to achieve a higher level of control over its execution. This allows debuggers to stop the program according to specific conditions.
An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a programming environment that consists of a source code editor, a compiler/interpreter, a debugger and other useful tools for testing software.

George Zimmerman’s online auction to sell the pistol he used to fatally shoot Trayvon Martin had reached $485,000 on Friday morning.
The bids were switched from GunBroker.com, which eventually said it wanted “no part in the listing on our website or in any of the publicity it is receiving,” to United Gun Group.
The new location deems itself a “social marketplace for the firearms community.” Bidding on the 9mm Kel-Tec PF-9 pistol started at $5,000. Read more.
This sicko, who posted a photo of Trayvon Martin’s body with the brag “Z-man is a one man army” on social media, is now seeking to profit from Martin’s death and further bragging about his killing. “Depraved” doesn’t seem to be a strong enough word to describe this wretched punk.
Agreed. By Torah law, one may not derive benefit from the gun. Yet this repulsive fellow is using it for his personal profit.
Which law?! Don’t make up your own laws, and call them Torah laws.
The only punk in this story was Martin, who did not hesitate pummeling without mercy, who was exhibiting a typical burglary casing behavior such as walking between houses in the middle of the night, who had numerous marijuana and violence texts and pictures on his phone, who was suspended from school for possessing marijuana, who had marijuana in his system at the time his death. Nothing like that 12 year old kid picture circulated by the communist media – in five years from that picture to his death, Martin has morphed into a menacing street criminal complete with a gold grill and a nasty attitude. He had candy in his pocket?-Are you insinuating that anyone with a candy is incapable of committing a violent crime?!
1) “Walking between houses in the middle of the night”. He was walking on footpaths that were meant for pedestrians – in other words doing nothing wrong whatsoever. Later he was running on footpaths to escape Zimmerman, because he was afraid of the stranger suspiciously following him.
2) “Marijuana in his system” – what does that have to do with anything?
3) Zimmerman refused to listen to the 911 dispatcher who told him to back off. Had he done so, a teenager who had done nothing wrong would have continued home, unharmed.
4) Zimmerman posted a picture of Martin’s body, bragging about the shooting.
5) Zimmerman followed another man into a parking lot and threatened to shoot him in a road rage incident.
6) He posted online filthy pictures of a woman he was angry at.
7) He pointed a shotgun at his girlfriend and threatened her.
8) He pointed a gun in his wife’s face and hit her father.
Following the letter of the law, Zimmerman was acquired of the murder charge – it was legally self-defense, albeit against a scared teenager who attacked a stranger who was following him. However, Zimmerman is clearly a thuggish punk who has a history of threatening people with guns, especially wives and girlfriends. Oh, did I forget racist too? Yep, he’s posted several such those comments.
You are the one admiring a violent street thug named Martin, complete with the gold grill(very popular with gang members), taking phone pictures of guns, texting with his friends about fights and drugs. Oh, did you forget about pummeling Zimmerman. Pummeling someone means mercilessly hitting another human being in the head until a traumatic brain injury or death. Someone in his first fight doesn’t have enough cruelty to just keep on hitting; it is very probable that Martin has done it before. Martin was walking in the middle of the night in a place where it wasn’t customary and was suspicious, especially in the face of recent burglaries. Marijuana may or may not be a safe drug, but it definitely is illegal, Martin was involved with it, which is another proof that Martin was not this 12 year old innocent candy-lover that the media tried so hard to portray.
Regarding Zimmerman, all the character flaws are inferred from his alleged behavior after the severe psychological trauma of the Martin incident, after the media’s tarring and feathering to such an extent that Zimmerman’s public reputation and employment opportunities are ruined, after spending all of his family’s life savings to hire attorneys to defend against a typical governmental bullying tactic of prosecuting just for the purpose of prosecuting so that the target person buckles under pressure and takes a plea deal. Not even discussing the fact that most of your violent behavior by Zimmerman allegations are just words of other people without any physical proof; people, who may hate Zimmerman because of Martin or because of personal reasons, who understand very well the vulnerability of Zimmerman to allegations of violence, and it is no surprise that they may take advantage of the situation and hurt the man even further by their allegations. Regarding your feeble point of not listening to the 911 operator – Zimmerman was surveillancing from a distance until Martin went around and suddenly jumped Zimmerman; besides, gratefully, a citizen of this country doesn’t yet have to obey every Herr Bureaucrat on the other end of the phone line. Calling Zimmerman racist?!-There were no any proven racist statements attributable to Zimmerman; the only racists in this story were Obama and the rest of the fascist socialists, who could not care less about the horrible epidemic of black people being shot by other black people or by Latinos, but getting all righteously angry because this particular Latino happened to have a Jewish last name of Zimmerman.
More lies, distortions and flat-out ridiculous conjecture, both in defense of Zimmerman, an unrepentant punk and attacking Martin, his victim.
1) You are the one admiring a violent street thug named Martin… A lie. Actually two lies; Lie #1: No one “admired” him or said he was a good guy; if anything the opposite was said when saying Zimmerman’s acquittal was legally just. Lie #2: “Violent Street Thug”? Would this be Martin with zero arrests? Or Zimmerman, who had a previous arrest for attacking a cop and a previous restraining order placed by his girlfriend?
2) You “forgive” every single one of Zimmerman’s subsequent violent incidents, including those where guns and death-threats are used, because of “psychological trauma” caused by his arrest and trial in the Martin case? He now has a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free card because of that arrest? Are you insane?
3) “…a citizen of this country doesn’t yet have to obey every Herr Bureaucrat on the other end of the phone line.” Saying that Zimmerman should’ve listened to the 911 operator is the equivalent of Nazism? Once again, are you insane?
Your post is so riddled with idiocies (do you even know what “inferred” means? are you aware of Zimmerman raising a large amount of money, then illegally lying in court about it?) that only a few of them are addressed here. But hey, keep defending this creep even after his next domestic violence episode(s); nothing is his fault.
1 So now you get all angry when accused of admiring Martin, while it was you who first accused me of admiring Zimmerman; typical liberal hypocrisy. You lied: Zimmerman had no arrests prior to the Martin incident, while Martin got kicked out of school for being involved with drugs and violence.
2 Try to take a course in reading comprehension, as you missed my point that Zimmerman at the time of the incident was a good boy, while Martin was bad, involved with gang lifestyle, violence and drugs. Whatever Zimmerman allegedly turned into after the incident, has no relevance to assessing his character at the incident.
3 So do we have to obey every gubmit employee or do we have constitutional rights?! Please answer, Herr Kommandant!!!
4 So can you bring an actual instance of Zimmerman’s racist statements?-Muslim is a religion, not a race, and you have no other racist statements by Zimmerman, so here you lie again.
As for you referring to my post as riddled with idiocies, I won’t argue with an apparent expert, as it takes one to know one.
I have made all my points, some multiple times, and will not further reply to your ignorance and lies.
PS please look up inferred in a Webster’s dictionary.
1) You are a liar and/or don’t know what you’re talking about. Zimmerman was arrested in 2005, several years before he shot Martin. He also had a restraining order filed against him in 2005 for domestic violence.
2) Martin was suspended from school three times, not “kicked out”, i.e. expelled. His suspensions were for graffiti and marijuana. “Gang lifestyle”? Pretty wimpy gang. Violence? Another lie. Drugs? Marijuana.
3) “Herr Kommandant!!!” You love calling people you disagree with “Nazis”, don’t you? What a sicko.
4) Trying to play semantic games by saying a bigot isn’t a racist? First of all, bigots are usually called racists too, whether their bigotry is religious or race based. Second of all, he is clearly a vile bigot, so I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove – that he’s “only” a bigot but not a racist? Third of all, he called President Obama an “ignorant baboon” in a post, so there’s your racist statement.
5) When someone commits domestic violence against several different women over the years, including threatening some with guns, fights with a cop, follows another motorist into a parking lot and threatens to kill him, and several other incidents, character flaws aren’t “inferred”. Look up what the word means. Here’s a hint – we don’t “infer” that the sun rises in the East.
This pistol fetched such a high price because people understand its meaning as a symbol of freedom: it didn’t just save a life(and there can be no freedom when people are petrified of street gangsters) of one individual from a violent bully, it also symbolizes a court victory of an individual against a bullying federal government which tried to railroad an innocent man for political reasons. The bidders understand, and they put their dollars where their appreciation for freedom is.
Will this cause riots?-Not in a state where people are armed and able to defend themselves. The street thugs attack those who look like easy targets.
He is a sicko and so are the bidders, but since the USA are not supposed to be the jungle, authorities should confiscate the gun. I appreciate what the Gunbroker website did, at the expense of their own commission. | 2019-04-19T05:01:05Z | https://matzav.com/bidding-on-zimmermans-gun-up-to-485k/ |
Today is the first day of National Stalking Awareness week, and the focus this year is on the emotional and mental trauma of victims of stalking #StalkingStealsLives.
Stalking victim Amanda Playle, is joining Sussex Police’s campaign to take stalking seriously and not delay reporting.
Playle, who was being stalked be an ex-partner only got in touch with Sussex Police after two years of being attacked with messages that soon became abusive.
“It was constant, all day, every day – at the worst point I was being contacted up to 300 times a day on Facebook, Whatsapp and email. The messages had turned abusive and threatening, and got out of hand when the stalker started messaging my daughter, my parents, my boss and my friends.
As part of National Stalking Awareness Week, Sussex Police have published videos of Playles story, to educate people about the dangers of stalking.
Her husband was eventually convicted of stalking at Lewes Crown Court, and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison.
Sussex Police have urged victims of stalking to report.
The National Stalking Helpline provides advice and guidance to current or previous victims of stalking or harassment 0808 802 0300.

Why do CEOs need extravagant perks even when they are firing staff and pleading for taxpayer bailouts? It may just be in their makeup, experts say. It takes arrogance and narcissism to become leader of a Fortune 500 company. Those same traits, however, have become their undoing during the deepest recession in decades.
U.S. President Barack Obama has noticed, telling reporters on Thursday he was outraged by a New York State report that $18.4 billion in Wall Street bonuses were paid in 2008 as taxpayers rescued the crumbling financial system. "That is the height of irresponsibility. It is shameful," Obama said.
New York State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, who is investigating Wall Street bonuses, welcomed Obama's comments. "While Wall Street melted down, top executives believed that, unlike the rest of the country, they still deserved huge bonuses," Cuomo said.
For Bob Monks, a former executive who has written nine books on corporate governance, the reason is that the rich and powerful simply love their toys. "It's a boy thing. Sort of, 'Mine's bigger than yours.' It's really childish," said Monks, a shareholder rights activist and the subject of a book called "A Traitor to His Class."
Monks related a story about flying on someone's corporate jet. The host was devastated when, upon landing, he saw that while he planned for a limo to be waiting at the airport another captain of industry had a helicopter take him to town. "I thought my guy was going to die. ... It's entirely about people's self-image."
Longtime advocates of shareholder rights were handed a gift in November when Detroit auto executives flew to Washington on corporate jets to ask for billions of dollars in taxpayer money, sparking a public outrage.
More recently, it became known that former Merrill Lynch CEO John Thain spent $1.2 million remodeling his office last year, including $1,405 for a trash can. Merrill Lynch is owned by Bank of America, which consumed $45 billion of taxpayer money through bailouts.
Then on Tuesday, Citigroup canceled plans to buy a $50 million executive jet after a White House rebuke.
"People don't become head of Merrill Lynch without having a certain sense of self-importance. Once they arrive at that position, they have all kinds of toadies tell them what geniuses they are, then of course they begin to feel their lifelong feelings of self-importance have been confirmed," said Charles Goodstein, a psychoanalyst and professor at New York University School of Medicine.
Defenders of executive perks say generous compensation is needed to retain talent. Sometimes it's jets but can also include home security systems, country club memberships, sports tickets and financial advice. The value of these benefits is considered income, so CEOs also sometimes get another perk: company help in paying their taxes. "I was CEO of a bank once and it's not rocket science. You need the same skill set as somebody running a hardware store in a medium-sized town," Monks said.
Steve Thel, a former lawyer with the Securities and Exchange Commission and now a professor at Fordham Law School, blames compliant board members who often come from the same privileged world and can get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for attending a few meetings each year. "It's endemic to the system. The last administration didn't think there was any structural flaw. Now across the political spectrum people feel that Wall Street executive compensation is out of control," Thel said. He predicted Congress would pass legislation granting minority shareholders more say on pay and possibly introduce higher taxes on some parts of executive compensation. "A year ago it was absolutely unthinkable that this would be heard in Congress," Thel said. | 2019-04-24T12:35:39Z | https://www.emirates247.com/eb247/banking-finance/banking/for-ceos-thirst-for-perks-may-be-in-their-dna-2009-01-30-1.98138 |
Locheilan Farmhouse Cheese is located in Wunghun about 200 kilometers north of Melbourne, not far from Shepparton. We've enjoyed quite a bit of their cheese in the past so it is quite surprising that I've yet to mention them on this site - so today I right that wrong with a decadent triple cream!
It has a washed rind character about it, in relation to the aroma and those hints of orange underneath the white mould. The milk all comes form their farm, a herd made up of mostly Friesians with some Jersey cross-breads.
This cheese has about a month until it's BBD so it isn't yet showing those runny characteristics that come with a fully matured round. If you look inside the cheese you can see those changes starting, the internal core is lighter in colour.
It's best to let the cheese come to room temperature - on a hot day that does not mean you allow it to get hot, please use a little common sense here. It will soften somewhat even at this stage and the flavours and aromas are much more pronouced. A triple cream will reward you with fabulous mouth feel - the rich,creamy flavour coating and filling your mouth. | 2019-04-18T18:46:48Z | http://cheese.cookalmostanything.com/2009/11/locheilan-triple-cream.html |

Optical nanocomposites based on transparent polymers and nanosized pigment particles have usually been produced at low particle concentrations due to the undesirable optical scattering of the pigment particles. However, the contribution of the particles to many physical properties is realized at high concentrations. In this study, nanocomposites were prepared with transparent polystyrene (PS) and organophilic CeO2 nanoparticles using various compositions in which the particle content was up to 95 wt%. The particles, capped by 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), were dispersed into PS and the transmittance of the spin-coated composite films was examined over the UV-visible region. When the particle concentration was <20 wt%, the transmittance of the films showed a first-order exponential decay as the Rayleigh scattering theory proposes. However, a positive deviation was observed from the decay function for higher particle contents. The improvement in transmittance may be a consequence of interference in the multiple scattering of light by the quasi-ordered internal microstructure that gradually develops as the particle concentration increases. | 2019-04-23T12:44:41Z | https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2013/tc/c2tc00084a/unauth |

Assembly Minority Leader Pat Hickey, R-Reno, will have a GOP primary election opponent in 2014.
Richard Fineberg, a retired lawyer who specialized in workers compensation cases, confirmed Tuesday he would run against Hickey in the Assembly District 25 race.
Now, the two Republicans who guided the Washoe school-tax bill (AB46) from the Legislature to the Washoe Commission — Hickey and Assemblyman Randy Kirner — both have GOP primary opponents.
Earlier, Lisa Kransner announced she would take on Kirner in the District 26 GOP primary. Kirner & Hickey were partners in getting AB 46 shipped to the commission, thus avoiding a tax-hike vote for Washoe school refurbishing in the Legislature that could have proven awkward.
Yet some constitutional conservatives — who adhere to the "no new taxes' ideology — were angered that Kirner and Hickey did not just kill the bill in Carson City.
Fineberg declined comment until after the holiday week.
He is a member of the Washoe County Republican Central Committee, has a B.A. in Psychology from UCLA and got his law degree from Southwestern University School of Law.
Fineberg is described as a constitutional conservative who is big on the 2nd Amendment rights (guns).
No doubt, Kransner and Fineberg will try to run to the right of the two incumbents. That is what you do to beat entrenched incumbents who are considered moderate. | 2019-04-26T09:40:17Z | http://blogs.rgj.com/politics/2013/11/27/assembly-minority-leader-hickey-draws-opponent-for-2014-republican-primary/ |
Northeastern International Airways suspended service on all but one of its routes after an unsuccessful attempt to attract passengers with new cut-rate fares. The airline, which filed for bankruptcy Tuesday, suspended ''until further notice'' flights to Chicago, Philadelphia and Orlando, St. Petersburg and West Palm Beach, Fla., a spokesman said. It is continuing flights between Islip, N.Y., and Ft. Lauderdale. A Northeastern flight from Chicago to Florida was canceled Wednesday because of mechanical problems. The privately held Ft. Lauderdale-based airline owes some $15 million to creditors. Under mounting pressure from creditors, Northeastern terminated flights to a number of cities earlier this week. The operation was undercapitalized and ran into problems after a quick expansion. | 2019-04-23T09:32:52Z | https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1985-01-11-8501020931-story.html |

In the user research community the terms qualitative and quantitative are as common as the term UX itself. But often times new designers can get tripped up by the terms. Part of the confusion comes from the various, and sometime confusing applications of the terms. They can refer to the research activity (e.g qualitative study), the data from a research activity (e.g. quantitive data) and sometimes they refer to the analysis of the data from a research activity (quantitive analysis). Its no wonder non-practitioners can get confused. Fortunately, there is a simple way to keep the two concepts straight in your head. If you can grok that the term qualitative is derived from the word quality and the term quantitative is derived from the word quantity, then you’re 90% there. Quantitative data is information that can be represented and evaluated in numerical form. In other words, Quantitative data, derived from the word Quantity, can be counted and objectively measured. Qualitative data is information that is descriptive and anecdotal in nature. In other words, Qualitative data, derived from the word Quality, is subjective and preferential and cannot be objectively measured.
the samples sizes used with each.
The next few section provides some additional details and examples you can use to further distinguish the two concepts.
Selecting one or more value(s) from a given list.
Did you enjoy reading the book (yes or no)?
Which of the following books are your favorite (Book A, Book B, Book C, None of the above)?
On a scale of 1 to 7, with 1 = not at all and 7 = very much, please tell me how much you enjoyed reading the book.
Keep in mind that this is not always the case, but as a rule of thumb, you can rely on this.
Qualitative Data is typically the results of the researcher asking a research participant a set of questions that are Open-ended in nature. Opened ended questions allow the research participant to compose their own answer.
How did you enjoy reading Book A?
What were your favorite parts of Book A?
Again, this is not always the case, but as a rule of thumb, you can rely on this.
Another common difference between Quantitative and Qualitative research is in how the feedback is collected from the participants. Again, as a general rule, Quantitative research uses indirect observations, sometimes through instrumentation to collect customer data. And Qualitative research uses direct observation methods to collect customer data. Indirect observation, simply means the data is not recorded by the research, but instead the data is recorded either by a system or another individual and then reported to research later. A classic example of indirect observation is website analytics data. Through website analytics, a researcher can observe the paths users take through a website to complete a task in a natural environment. Direct observation means the researcher records the data as it is observed. A standard usability study is a classic example of direct observation. Just like the website analytics, the research can observer the path a user takes through a website to complete a task, but in an artificial environment that allow that affords the researcher opportunities to interject with questions that provide insights into the research participant’s decision making process.
One of the primary drivers for the different observation methods is the samples sizes of the two different types of research. Without going into the long technical reasons and evidence for a concept known as statistical significance, I’ll just say that In order for quantitative data to be legitimate, a large enough number of participants need to be tested. The larger the number, the greater the confidence in the outcome of research. Data from large sample sizes are easier to collect through indirect observation. As such, quantitative data is typically collected through indirect observation. It would be too costly and time consuming for a researcher to attempt to collect a significant amount of data through direct observation. Because qualitative research is not based in math, but rather based on anecdotes and descriptions, smaller sample sizes are acceptable.
As you can see, there are a variety of ways to consider, characterize and compare Qualitative and Quantitative research, data and analysis. But at the end of the day, the difference between Qualitative and Quantitative data all comes down to measurement of the data. Quantitative data can be counted and is easy to measure. Qualitative data cannot be counted and as such is more difficult to measure. At least, this is the easiest way to distinguish the two. | 2019-04-21T20:06:33Z | http://www.creativitydifferent.com/qualitative-vs-quantitative-data/ |
A "global personality, peace, and freedom through dress" was the main inspiration given for the Max 'n Chester Spring 2017 show. These ideas, plus what appeared to be a heavy modern Japan influence brought forth with the use of Japanese cottons, linens, and relaxed silhouettes, made for a refreshing collection. The cool summery palette of whites, neutrals and blues brought the whole thing together for an easily wearable, yet ultra chic, and "global" vibe. | 2019-04-26T08:31:49Z | http://www.stylewylde.com/runway/2016/7/11/new-york-max-n-chester-spring-2017 |

MovingHow to Sell Your House – FAST!
Selling a house is an incredibly stressful and expensive business!
Estate agents valuations – too high because they are greedy, or stupidly low because they need a higher turnover of property and want the commission fast. People traipsing through your home, making silly offers. Buyers making offers then backing out at the last minute. Buyers saying how great your house is and getting your hopes up, but either they put in a silly low offer, or don’t bother putting in an offer at all. Then there are the ones that try and get a reduction in price just before completion.
Note I am saying house & not home. This is because when you decide to sell your house, you need to stop looking it as your home and start looking at it as a house you want someone else to buy.
Too many people make the mistake of saying ‘well if they don’t like my bright purple walls, that’s their problem!’ Actually it’s YOUR problem if you want your buyer to be able to imagine themselves in this house because they won’t be able to do this if the colours are too bright. Also, bear in mind, people don’t want to come into a house & see themselves having to decorate straight away.
If you really can’t be bothered to change things to make your house appeal to others, your house could still sell fast, but you will have to be prepared to accept a lower offer. But there really is no excuse as there are an awful lot of really simple things (often cost free) you can do to tidy up a house and sell it quickly.
Tidy up the front garden and the approach to the house – first impressions count!
Clear all clutter, and this includes kids toys, trinkets, your collection of cute hedgehogs. Clutter can make a room look very small as well as messy, so make sure all surfaces are clear, including the floor.
De-personalise by removing almost all photographs, people need to be able to imagine themselves in your house.
Try and colour co-ordinate a little, if you have a green sofa and a pink fluffy rug, remove the rug (and anything with colours that clash).
Clean and then clean again and if you have time, clean a bit more! The two most important rooms are the kitchen and bathroom, so both need to be spotlessly clean. If you can make your bathroom look as unused as possible then so much the better.
People like to see rooms with a clearly defined purpose, so if you have a study that is a childs playroom containing a dining table and a television, decide what the room actually is and remove anything that causes conflict. | 2019-04-22T19:02:17Z | http://www.3bremovals.co.uk/how-to-sell-your-house-fast/ |

Contra Corner » When Will The Fed Resume QE?
When Will The Fed Resume QE?
This is an excerpt from the Liquidity Trader Pro Treasury Supply and Demand Report. Subscriber download links to complete report below.
Primary Dealers were sellers last week in both the coupons and the futures as they continued to hold larger long positions in Treasury coupons than they have for several years. Conversely, their long position in the futures continues its downtrend of the past year, reaching a new low. They remain moderately long the futures, but they appear to be persistently selling futures into strength while they maintain a modest net long position in the coupons themselves.
August is usually a month where Treasury supply pressures both stocks and bonds but this year Treasury supply was light. Lighter than usual supply should continue through September. This would normally be a bullish factor for both stocks and bonds. However, other sources of supply, or demand depressants, have pressured prices, particularly money destruction in commodities, emerging markets, and especially China.
As long as Treasury supply remains relatively light, tracking the various classes of buyers, particularly dealers, US commercial banks, and foreign central banks will give us key insights into the outlook for both stocks and bonds. Supply may be a benign influence, but if buyers are pressured elsewhere, they’ll pull their bids and prices will decline. The longer that dynamic continued, the more likely it would become that the US economy would weaken, the US deficit would widen and Treasury borrowing would increase, putting more pressure on securities prices.
The issue at that point would be when would the Fed resume QE.

Ransomware happens, often with a momentary lapse of vigilance on the part of an employee or third-party vendor, but you can fight back.
In order to better prevent ransomware think like a hacker and understand their motivation. Then you can mount stronger defenses to remain cybersecure.
Employee cybersecurity accountability cannot be ignored, since even one successful breach can cripple your business and put your security at risk.
thinkCSC has been closely tracking a global ransomware attack called “WannaCry” and all thinkCSC managed services clients are safe.
We have all seen ransomware become more sophisticated, regardless of where we live or work. And the cyber assaults seem to be never ending. Just as security and protocols are developed to keep your network secure, hackers use ransomware to go after educational institutions. As colleges and high schools work quickly to develop offsite backup and recovery solutions to protect them from having to pay ransoms in order to access their data, government offices became the target. Even as technology has made us more efficient and more capable, it has also made us more vulnerable when we don’t implement the right solutions to protect our homes and businesses from these types of attacks. And the biggest threat from ransomware is yet to come: infrastructure threats.
Hospitals and other medical facilities are being targeted. In 2016, hospitals were specifically targeted using Locky ransomware, with one LA hospital paying a $17,000 bitcoin ransom to access their files.
Utilities are at risk. In April 2016, the Lansing Board of Water & Light (BWL) in Michigan was the victim of a ransomware scheme that has cost the utility nearly $2 million.
Guests held hostage. In a unique display of cyber hacking, a luxury hotel in Austria was forced to pay an $1,800 bitcoin ransom after hackers accessed the hotel room keycards and locked the guests out of their rooms.
It’s likely that the next threat will be even more insidious, as hackers develop methods for compromising entire systems. Georgia Institute of Technology, recognizing the risk to programmable logic controllers (PLCs), developed ransomware with which they could take control of a simulated water treatment plant, gaining access to PLCs to control valves and additives, and even create false readings. While this was a simulation designed to help understand how to prevent an attack, the risk is real.
Businesses of all sizes and in all industries, government entities, schools K-16 and beyond, and individuals must all do their part to prevent ransomware. We must become far more selective about the emails we open, read, and forward, giving special attention to the links we click and the attachments we open. We must invest heavily in better security, from virus software to endpoint detection. We must all take steps to thwart hackers.

For over ten years, the St. Louis Mercy home has formed a special connection with a local community theatre: The Muny. This summer the St. Louis Mercy residents have had the privilege to attend several Broadway-style shows.
Every year, The Muny donates tickets to non-profit organizations like Mercy Multiplied as one of their missions to make exceptional musical theatre accessible to everyone. The Muny, in its 99th season, has a new show every week throughout the summer. The summer productions require a team of more than 600 people each week to bring the musical performance alive in Forest Park, a public park of St. Louis.
The St. Louis residents have attended: The Little Mermaid, All Shook Up, and The Unsinkable Molly Brown. They will also attend Newsies: The Musical.
Mercy is thankful for partners like The Muny whose generosity has helped create unique opportunities for our residents. For more information on how you and your organization can partner with Mercy to impact the lives of young women, click here. | 2019-04-20T14:54:07Z | https://mercymultiplied.com/2017/07/st-louis-residents-have-summer-fun-at-the-muny/ |
