If you’ve ever wanted to place a call and have been hit with the ‘You do not have sufficient airtime to make this call’, then you will appreciate Safaricom’s late feature called Reverse Calls.
Reverse calls allow the caller to transfer the charges for a call to the recipient. This can be simply enabled on Safaricom by adding ‘#’ before the number they are calling.
A customer receiving a reverse call request will see the caller’s details appear on the screen as normal, but once they pick the call, they will receive a voice prompt asking them to key in “1” to accept the reverse call. The cost of the call will be equivalent to the receiver’s normal call cost. The service is only available for on-net calls and will not be applicable for off-net, roaming and international calls. Meaning at the moment you will only be able to use this feature for Safaricom to Safaricom calls only.
“At Safaricom, we maintain our commitment to always provide our customers with relevant products in line with their needs. This innovation is in line with this commitment and has been tailored to mirror the relationships between our customers with a goal of empowering them to always remain connected with their loved ones,”
Sylvia Mulinge, Chief Customer Officer, Safaricom.
Reverse Calls were very huge in the 90s when making calls was very expensive thereby callers preferred passing on that cost to whomever they were calling.
The introduction of this feature by Safaricom is interesting but there are obviously many use cases for this like let’s say a student in campus calling their parent would definitely find this very handy.

Being of a certain age – I’m 55 – and a music guy, I naturally share some of the perspectives of my late boomer cohort. Newer, we’ve learned, is not always better. We’ve experienced the depth of analog recording, we remember the visual richness of Super 8, we’ve watched Antonioni without a fast-forward button and understand the value of a longer attention span.
But sometimes the opinions of colleagues, friends and acquaintances in my demographic shade into cranky middle-age guy prejudice. Specifically when it comes to pop music.
I’ve been a casual-to-heavy listener to pop music since about 1966, and a lifelong student of the pop song. I tuned out briefly in the late ‘90s when my kids were little and tuned back in in the early 2000s. I make a point of listening to pop radio from time to time. Because to me there’s nothing better than a great pop song.
With this in mind, I decided to look through the top 100 songs from each year of from the last six decades. After scanning the charts, and listening to any unfamiliar cuts, I can say that current pop music (2012-2013) is no worse nor any better now than average. There are lots of mediocre songs that are popular, and some good ones, and occasional great ones. It was ever thus. This is the result I expected and was based entirely on my own subjective judgment about the songs on the lists.
This is not to say that tastes and programming decisions don’t fluctuate over the years to render some eras more fertile with creativity than others. The music of the mid-to-late 60s and early 70s seemed to yield more good hit songs than average, while the 80s were particularly rife with bad hit songs.
What this survey reinforced for me is the notion that pop music has more continuity than not, that it is primarily young people’s music, and that if you don’t like one song, just wait for the next one to come on.

Karl Stefanovic is back in the spotlight six months after taking time off.
The 44-year-old journalist made his return last night at Sunday night's TV Week Logie Awards on the Gold Coast, and on Monday morning he admitted that taking a step back from the spotlight was just what he needed.
"It's good to be be back," he told journalists at Nine's Post-Logies Recovery Brunch. "It's been about six months since I was on the telly and I needed to have a rest towards the end of last year. I was cooked. It had taken its toll, all the attention at the end of last year — unwarranted attention, I thought."
Stefanovic said he didn't feel he was at his best at the end of last year, and that it was "relief" to take some time for himself.
"I just wasn't at my best and you can't be doing that show unless you're at the top of your game," he said. "You've got to be sharp, you've got to be witty, you've got to be funny. You've got to see the angles, and to be honest, at the end of last year I wasn't seeing much."
And there's nothing like taking a step back and seeing things in perspective.
"I'll tell you what, after about a month of not getting up at 3.30am in the morning, I saw things a lot clearer," he added. "And as you know I was able to spend some time with Jasmine [Yarbrough] away from all that spotlight and to me that was the most important thing. It allowed me to rest it allowed me to think about life in a much clearer way."
And his show This Time Next Year has him feeling optimistic.
"To be able to sit down and listen to real people's stories and people taking on real things in life, it allowed me to actually listen and concentrate and be empathetic and also to direct their promises and pledges in a very different way than what I was able to do in the past," he said. "It was great. For me to sit there with these people, it was a revelation in many ways and gave me a whole new understanding.
"As much as I made it in the past about me, it wasn't about me. It was about these people. And for me not to think about me and move into their space and move in their direction, was a real revelation. It was a real change for me."
As for his marriage to Jasmine Yarbrough, Stefanovic couldn't be happier.
"Married life is wonderful," he said. "It's been good for us to breathe and just enjoy ourselves without having paparazzi in the showers. But it has eased off, which is was the whole point of everything. And for us now it has settled a bit, which I think is great."

The holidays are here and for merchants this means more sales and an overall busier schedule than what they are accustomed to. The Black Friday spending totals for 2013 are in, and according to the National Retail Federation, there has been an increase in consumers who shopped during this time period
For merchants who are considered to be high risk merchants, this is good news as it means that this sector is not suffering from the hard economical times as it was a few years ago.
The NRF reported that there were around 59 million people shopped online spending an average of $178 per transaction. It was estimated that there were around 141 million shoppers considered unique that came out to stores during this shopping period as well. With these types of numbers that show an increase from 2012, it seems that shopping is becoming more stable, as people are once again spending their money.
Those merchants who are considered high risk, often deal with products that are not always purchased by consumers such as products related to guns, travel services, coin shops, adult products and the like. Many times these merchants are hit hard during the holiday season. Yet, a high risk merchant account for the holiday season is extremely important to have, especially during this particular season.
The reason for the importance is that there has been an increase in spending this year. This does mean that more people are buying products for the holiday season, and the products that high risk merchants offer are products that people are interested in purchasing. In fact, the NRF is reporting on total sales in the retail industry, meaning that high risk merchants were included in these statistics. Due to the nature of products offered by high risk merchants, they have been increasing their sales and offering deals that are only going to be seen during the holiday season.

In recent weeks, just about everyone has stepped forward with an opinion on Colin Kaepernick and his decision to kneel during the national anthem. For some, the quarterback’s actions are a powerful display of civil disobedience, protesting this country’s sordid racial legacy and the countless African-American men and women who have been killed by the police over the years. To others, like former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka, if Kaepernick doesn't like the way things are in this country, he can “get the hell out.”
Well, a restaurant in Virginia Beach called Krossroads Rock and Country Bar has offered yet another unsolicited hot take on the Kaepernick story, this time taping the quarterback’s jersey to its floor and using it has a doormat. A customer named James Perry saw the display on Thursday, and posted a photo of the scene to Facebook over the week. In just a few short days the photo—and Perry’s accompanying note on Kaepernick’s constitutional right to protest—has been shared over 5,000 times.
“What went through my mind was like 'Wow, is this real or is it a joke?'” Perry told WTKR. “How would you feel if someone taped a police officer’s uniform down?"
Still, despite Perry’s calls to “boycott this racist ass bar,” not all Virginia Beach residents see the incident as offensive, defending Krossroads’ right to “do what they want,” as one customer put it. The restaurant’s owners are also standing by their decision to tape Kaepernick’s jersey to the floor, claiming it's about his “disrespect of the flag—not race,” according to WTKR.
Race is, of course, at the center of Kaepernick decision’s to kneel during the anthem, and has pushed other professional athletes to speak out on issues of racism and police violence in America in recent days.
“I don’t want to kneel forever,” the quarterback has said. “I want these things to change. I do know it will be a process, and it is not something that will change overnight. But I think there are some major changes that we can make that are very reasonable.”
To begin with, it might be reasonable to pick the man’s jersey up off the floor.

About the artwork
About the ArtistHenri Le Sidaner was born in Port Louis, Mauritius on August 7, 1862, a son to a French captain. Le Sidaner was a painter who is considered part of the impressionists. He also painted in the style of symbolism though only for a short period.
In 1871 Le Sidaner moved back to France where they lived in Duinkerke. After his father passed away in 1881 he went to study at the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris where he was taught by Alexandre Cabanel. In Paris he discovered impressionism through the works of Edouard Manet and Claude Monet. In 1887 Le Sidaner held his first exposition in the Parisian salon. He also held exhibitions in the fmapous gallery of Henri Petit and in the ‘Goupil Gallerie’ in London. In the first years of the 1890’s he was awarded several prices and medals.
Despite being a successful impressionist Le Sidaner switched to a symbolistic phase between 1896-1900, being led by literature. His most famous work from this period was Dimanche (Sunday) from 1898. In 1902 Le Sidaner moved to Gerberoy where he returned to impressionism. During those years he often traveled, to other regions in France, the Netherlands, Italy and London. He was awarded a Legion of Honour in 1909. In 1929 he became president of the Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Le Sidaner died in 1939, at the age of 76 years.

Hi-Mart resolves management dispute with stake salesThe management dispute between Hi-Mart and its largest shareholder Eugene Group has come to an end, with both parties agreeing to sell their full stakes in the company at a shareholders’ meeting on Wednesday, it was announced yesterday.
Sun Jong-koo, the electronic goods retailer’s founder and co-chief executive, will sell his 17.37 percent stake, while Eugene Group agreed to sell its 31.35 percent stake, they said, paving the way for new buyers to come in.
Eugene Group took over Hi-Mart in 2007 at a cost of 1.95 trillion won ($1.7 billion). The dispute surfaced after Sun sent an e-mail to employees criticizing the group for intervening in management, which he claimed it had promised not to do so. Hi-Mart owns 25 percent of the domestic electronic product retail market.

Grows with such persistence and
Uncaring for time,
Leaves the sky hovering in anticipation
—Shall you ever give in?
How many ways are you willing to die?
I see you there,
Heartleaf, sticky, seep-spring of
Yellow mouth, saffron divine.
Aster, watch your fingers.
Toadflax, are you reaching?
Dogbane and nettle and rabbit-foot clover;
This cradle of color leaps as it sways,
And I am in awe of the way it was made.
If I take this sprig of yarrow,
Am I stealing from the earth?
Am I a thief, making off with its well earned majesty;
What end am I invoking
For a bit of beauty?
I want to love you mountain,
But I’m drawn in by her scent.
She seizes me by my breast and leads me,
A doe from the dark,
And wakes me with a cloud
Rolling over her;
The air tips its pitcher and pours life.
Like a song.

Synopsis for "To Free a Felon!"
Trying to capture the Gamesman, Spider-Woman finds herself his prisoner instead, left to die in the Doomsday Room, an explosive-rigged room set to detonate in less than an hour. Using her super-powers, Spider-Woman manages to escape. Monitoring the room, the Gamesman assumes that Spider-Woman is killed when the room explodes, and begins the second phase of his plans with a drawing of Spider-Woman's costume.
By coincidence, the Gamesman hires Jessica Drew's actress friend Lindsay McCabe to pose as Spider-Woman (leaving her to believe that it's for a movie) to try and press the first Gamesman Timothy Braverman into revealing the location of hidden loot that Braverman hid before his incarceration. When asking him doesn't work, the Gamesman has McCabe provide Braverman with a means of breaking out of his cell.
When Jessica Drew learns of McCabe's new mystery job, she decides to snoop as Spider-Woman and learns the truth, switching places with McCabe to spring Braverman from prison. Taking him back to the Gamesman's hideout, the two defeat the Gamesman's goons. With the crooks roped up, Braverman suggests that they steal the loot. However, Spider-Woman reveals how she figured out the Gamesman's plan and called the police in advance. Alexander Walsh and his men come and arrest everyone and take Braverman back into custody. Realizing that Braverman had no intention to reform, Spider-Woman leaves, ashamed of herself for having been so gullible.

As an experienced Bergen County Child Support Attorney I am often asked if child support agreements can be modified. Any time that there is a substantial change in circumstances, financially or otherwise, you are absolutely entitled to a modification of a previous court order. You need to speak to an attorney about what those factors are and what you could be potentially looking at as that modification.
Are you trying to modify your child support agreement? If so, contact the experienced Bergen County Child Support Attorney Carrie Schultz.

One major study on material handling in electrical contracting came up with a shocking statistic: Around 40 percent of the work electricians do in the construction industry is consumed by material handling. Not cable pulls, installing conduit, or wiring light fixtures: simply moving materials around the work site.
Even highly trained, highly paid union contractors end up spending nearly half their day simply moving materials to where they need them. The cost in terms of time, resources, and profits may be much higher than you assume.
So what can electrical contractors do to bring down these costs? Here are a few tips:
- Provide material handling equipment that’s built specifically for electrical materials. The major stumbling block to efficient material handling in the electrical industry is using the wrong tool for the job. You can’t pile cords of conduit onto a standard cart and expect to get it to the installation site quickly.
Many electrical components are awkward or uniquely shaped. The same material handling solution won’t work for cable, conduit, and light fixtures alike. Save time and reduce workplace injuries by transporting cable on payout-ready Parallel Reel Payout Wagons; achieve the same benefits for up to 48 light fixtures with Light Fixture Carts; and move bulk loads of conduit with a Conduit Carrier Cart, or, for jobs in tight spaces and narrow aisles, a Tilting Elevator Conduit Cart.
- Work with a vendor that can provide onsite warehousing and other value-added services. The more material management tasks you can outsource, the more time your trained electricians can spend getting the job done. Some distributors offer on-site warehousing as a service. Ask your supplier what they can do to help in terms of procurement and material management.
- Develop a sophisticated material purchasing process. Material handling for electricians is the art of getting what workers need where they need it, when they need it. That starts with the purchasing department.
Plan jobs as strictly as possible, and maintain constant lines of communication between purchasers and the frontline workers. That can help ensure that electricians will never have to spend an idle moment waiting for a shipment of materials to arrive.
- Invest in material tracking systems. Traditional methods of tracking materials, on- or off-site, can lead to lost shipments and work delays. Computerized tracking systems reduce these risks. Barcode or install RFID chips on material loads to track them within a centralized system, ensuring that the installation team always knows where components are located for quick retrieval.
Imagine boosting efficiency by dozens of percentage points. By improving material handling practices, every electrical contractor can complete faster installations, offer more competitive pricing, and ultimately get more work.
The return on investment is clear. Appropriate material handling equipment is vital to the success of any sizable construction electrician firm.

Allison contacted me from Colorado about two weeks ago. Nick had proposed only the week before, and they had a trip planned to Maine to celebrate with family. While here on the coast, she wanted to surprise Nick with a Pemaquid Point Lighthouse engagement session.
August, September and October in Maine couldn’t be more beautiful months for weddings and engagements. So we headed up the coast to a familiar spot where Nick’s family has spent so many years visiting, and watched a hazy sunrise from the coast of Maine.
One of the things I love about their set, that I try to create during every session, are the trios that make for great wall portrait sets. We print and frame images right in our studio on lab quality machines. And nothing covers a wall more beautifully than several images in sequence that can be hung side by side on the wall to tell a moment in more depth. Imagine three of the images below framed and hung in sequence behind a couch in the living room, or along the hallway of your foyer. When we photograph, we’re photographing with print options in mind.
Enjoy their pictures, and touch base with me if you’d like to have an engagement session with Katie or me. Here are a few of their images from the session:
Review from the Knot
“Peter captured the excitement of our engagement perfectly. He was so flexible and easy to work with. I booked a last minute trip to Maine and wanted to surprise my fiance with a photo shoot at Pemaquid Point. Not only did Peter squeeze me in last minute, he also drove all the way to South Bristol, ME to meet us for the shoot. He was a joy to work with and provided us with some amazing shots. He also spent 2 hours with me going through the more than 150 shots he took to make sure we were picking the best selection. He never rushed me or made me feel like I was taking too long to decide. Peter is excellent to work with and Nick and I would highly recommend him to anyone!”

Revised February 24, 2020; August 15, 2020
It is imperative to learn the correct Dhamma from an Ariya to attain the Sōtapanna stage (one of the four requirements). See, “Four Conditions for Attaining Sōtapanna Magga/Phala.” We will discuss a simile for attaining the Sōtapanna stage in that regard. We will briefly discuss Sabbāsava Sutta to show the importance of first removing wrong views.
A Simile for Sammā Diṭṭhi (attaining the Sōtapanna Stage)
1. Suppose a man lives in an area that is normally full of sense pleasures. But there are occasional flooding, droughts, and also Earthquakes. When such calamities occur, he gets distraught, and thus, his mind is not at ease most of the time.
- Yet, he has accumulated some wealth, and in the back of his mind, he believes that “everything will be OK” in the long run.
2. Then one day, an old friend (who has been on travel for many years) comes back and tells him that the reason he left was to find a better place to live. The friend says that he did some research and found out that this land is inherently unstable. That within several years is going to be destroyed in an Earthquake.
- Furthermore, he says that he found a very prosperous place and that there are no worries about flooding, drought, or Earthquakes. But it is a long journey to that place.
3. The man tells the friend that he had heard about such wonderful places from other people before. He had followed them at times, but every time came back after trekking for some time because he could not see any benefit. Plus, he says, “how do I know what you say is right? I know that everything is not perfect here, but can you show evidence for your theory that there is going to be a big Earthquake? Also, how can I believe you that this place you found is so wonderful?”
4. The friend shows him all the evidence that he had gathered why this area is unsuitable for living in the long run. He also shows evidence about the prosperity of the new place and also describes him the travel path.
- The evidence is compelling, and the man decides to follow the friend’s advice and see where that leads to. This is analogous to becoming a Sōtapanna Magga Anugāmi.
5. The man spends a lot of time reading about and contemplating on all the evidence that he received. Then he begins to realize that what the friend is saying is true. He decides to take an exploratory trip on that path and makes suitable preparations, as suggested by the friend.
- Once in a while, he wonders whether all these preparations will be a waste of time. But as he keeps on assessing the evidence, he becomes more and more convinced that he needs to take that trip.
6. He starts on the trip and is encouraged by seeing some “landmarks” that the friend told him about. Even though once in a while he thinks about all the “pleasures” he could have had if he stayed home, these “landmarks” encourage him to go further and then reaches one of the four “major stopovers” that the friend told about.
- Once he gets to that destination, he becomes totally convinced about his friend’s conclusions. Now there is no going back for him. This is the Sōtapanna stage.
7. Thus it is very important to first find out all about what the goal is (Nibbāna), correct instructions to get there (the Path), and, most of all, why it is not profitable or wise to stay home (i.e., to stay in “this world”). The last one is the critical one to comprehend first because unless one sees the dangers of the status quo, one will not be motivated to take action (to start on the Path).
8. Realizing the inherent instability of “this world” is the true understanding of the Three Characteristics: anicca, dukkha, anatta. He realizes that there is no point in the current struggle in trying to make permanent peace in a place (“this world”), which is inherently not set up to provide that relief (see, “The Grand Unified Theory of Dhamma”). And that Nibbāna means ultimate, permanent peace of mind. Just this realization leads to the “point-of-no-return,” the Sōtapanna stage.
9. One day the Buddha asked Ven. Sariputta to clarify what is meant by “sōta” and “Sōtapanna.” Ven. Sariputta said, “sōta” is the Noble Eightfold Path, and a “Sōtapanna” follows the path correctly. To follow the Path, the first one needs to have a map or the layout of “our existence.”
- What we observe with our limited sensory faculties is only a very small part of a much more complex world. We are beginning to see a bit more of that wider world with the technological advances made by science. But it is still an insignificant fraction of the whole picture.
- The whole picture is very complex, but we do not need to learn all about it (but if one has time, one could learn Abhidhamma and learn minute details). The Buddha has condensed the very essence of the existence in this wider world by its Three Characteristics (Tilakkhana): anicca, dukkha, anatta. When one comprehends those characteristics, one can “see” what lies ahead, and what to do about it.
- Thus one attains the Sōtapanna stage with just Sammā Diṭṭhi, which is the correct view of the wider world.
10. After attaining the Sōtapanna stage, he KNOWS what needs to be done and HOW it is to be done. Then he diligently follows the Path and attains the next three stages, culminating in Nibbāna.
The Way to the Sōtapanna Stage
The key here is that without knowing about the Buddha’s world view (31 realms of existence and the suffering in the four lower realms, see “The Grand Unified Theory of Dhamma“), one does not comprehend the “saṃsāric suffering.” Most suffering is incurred when one is born in any of the four lowest realms. This is important because it is possible that (especially young and wealthy people) may not experience that much physical and mental suffering. And to have faith in the Buddha’s worldview, one needs to spend some time examining the evidence for it.
1. When one clearly sees why it is not fruitful to stay in “this world” of 31 realms, he/she has understood the true nature, the three characteristics anicca, dukkha, anatta, of “this world.”
- Sammā Diṭṭhi is the realization that there is nothing “substantial” to be had by staying in “this world.” This clear vision leads to the conclusion that there is no point in doing immoral things (those that cause rebirth in the four lower realms).
2. We strive to gain or own “things” in this world because we perceive that we can achieve happiness eventually; this is sakkāya diṭṭhi or sathkāya diṭṭhi (both “Sakka” and “sath” mean “good” or fruitful, and “kāya” means “kriya” or actions. Diṭṭhi means wrong views. Thus, sakkāya diṭṭhi means our wrong view that our actions to acquire “things” or “seek happiness” are good and fruitful.
- When one truly understands anicca, dukkha, anatta, this wrong view is removed. One realizes that nothing we do can lead to permanent happiness “in this world.”
3. Furthermore, for one who has clearly seen anicca, dukkha, anatta, the mind does not allow serious wrongdoings (vici + ki+ichcha = liking for wrong actions or things) that could lead to birth in the lower four realms.
- There is no doubt regarding the “world vision” that he/she realized. Thus vicikicca, or the liking for unfruitful and harmful actions, is removed at the Sōtapanna stage.
4. Therefore, one just needs to contemplate the true nature of the world. It is done by purifying the mind, and cannot be done just by following certain rituals, such as just obeying precepts on certain days.
- Thus the idea of “sīlabbata paramasa” or “Nibbāna can be attained by following rituals” goes away at the Sōtapanna stage. One realizes what the Buddha said by “saṃvaraṭṭhena sīlaṃ.” It is that “sīla” or moral behavior is achieved by the constraint of eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind. That must be monitored at ALL TIMES, not by “observing precepts” for a day or several days.
5. For one who has become “dassanā sampanno” (one with true and clear vision), the mindset changes not by following formal procedures. The change of mindset comes by understanding the futility of breaking any precepts or wrongdoings. Even if one does a wrong act, the mistake is realized, and one takes care to avoid it.
6. Please keep in mind that this is not to discourage people from observing precepts as a formality. This is a good thing to do for those who are starting on the Path. It is also a good habit to instil in children. It is customary in Buddhist countries for whole families to go to the temple and observe “pañca sīla” (five precepts) or “aṭṭhaṅgika sīla” (eight precepts) on Poya (Full Moon) days.
Key Points from the Sabbāsava Sutta (MN 2)
The key to attaining Nibbāna is to remove the āsavā (residue from the fermentation of bad thoughts/habits over many saṃsāric births). In the Sabbāsava Sutta, the Buddha listed seven steps to remove the āsavā and to purify the mind, thus paving the way to Nibbāna. The seven steps are:
1. Removal by clear vision (“dassanā pahātabbā,” where dassana is vision and pahātabbā is removal). This is a clear understanding of anicca, dukkha, anatta.
2. Removal by the restrained use of the sense faculties (“saṃvarā pahātabbā,” where saṃvara is the disciplined use of the sense faculties: not to over-indulge in the senses).
3. Removal by good and frequent associations (“paṭisevanā pahātabbā,” where sevana is an association: for example, with good friends and good deeds).
4. Removal by tolerance and patience (“adhivāsanā pahātabbā”). For example, even if one is tempted to steal because one is hungry, one should contemplate the consequences of stealing. There are ways to earn a living.
5. Removal by staying clear of “bad influences and environments” (“parivajjanā pahātabbā”). One needs to avoid bad friends, bad locations for living (due to floods, bad neighbors, etc.), avoiding unsuitable times to go out, etc.
6. Removal by getting rid of certain things (“vinodanā pahātabbā”). One needs to get rid of bad thoughts that come to mind, such as excessive sensory pleasure, hate, etc.
7. Removal by meditation (“bhāvanā pahātabbā”). When one has a clear vision in #1, it becomes apparent what to contemplate.
The clear vision is the first on the list. Just like one should not undertake a journey without learning about the destination, the path, and the reason for the journey, one needs to start getting rid of āsavā by first having a clear vision of the Buddha’s world view (see, “The Grand Unified Theory of Dhamma“) and understanding what these āsavā are and how they arise. More on this topic will be discussed in the “Key Dhamma Concepts” section.
- There are four āsavā: kāmāsava (craving for sense pleasures), diṭṭhāsava (cravings due to wrong views), bhavāsava (craving for existence), and avijjāsava (cravings due to ignorance).
The Sōtapanna removes the diṭṭhāsava through clear vision. Once one understood the true nature of “this world” by contemplating anicca, dukkha, anatta, one would not commit any immoral acts to gain anything in “this world.” See, “Anicca, Dukkha, Anatta.” This alone saves one from future rebirths in the lower four realms.
- A Sōtapanna still has the other three āsavā left. Those are removed mainly by the meditation on the Satta Bojjhaṅga (seven Bojjhaṅga.)
The other five steps listed in the Sabbāsava Sutta, as one can clearly see, are common sense things to do. They need to be followed at any stage. Actually, anyone can use those steps to enhance the quality of life and to remove any bad habits. For example, alcohol or drug use to eating too much. A clear vision of why those are bad, and why they need to be stopped is an important step.
- The Mahā Satipaṭṭhāna Sutta covers all seven steps in a somewhat different fashion. The Anapānasati bhāvanā (not the breath meditation version) plays a major role here.

Every girl needs a Little Black Dress (LBD) in her closet. I love them because they are timeless, and can be easily dressed up or down. You can wear a LBD to many different events such as date night, interviews, and holiday parties. You don’t have to break the bank, either! I have found LBDs for well under $20 at both T.J. Maxx and the clearance rack at Banana Republic.
There’s a LBD for every occasion and to flatter every body shape!

The X-Men are aboard their plane, on the way to face Lucifer when a shaft of light appears out of nowhere, almost knocking the plane out of the air. When Xavier finally regains control of the jet, the team see that beam emanates from an opening in the sky itself. In this beam the X-Men see several strange objects flying towards a mountain.
The X-Men aren't the only ones who see this beam, a rancher named Mr. Mack also notices the strange light and he takes three men with him to investigate.
After the shaft of light vanishes, the X-Men fly towards the mountain, but erupting geysers prevent them from getting close. The professor is certain that the villain’s base is hidden in the mountain. Cyclops sees a suspicious river floating towards the mountain and then disappearing, apparently the water is needed to operate the geysers. Xavier decides to land the plane so that the team can investigate on foot, while the professor remains behind at the aircraft, following his students mentally.
Angel flies ahead when he is suddenly spotted by Mr. Mack and his three henchmen. Having heard about the X-Men robbing a bank in the news, they think the X-Men are evil, so they try to shoot down the Angel. Naturally Warren is too fast for them and evades the bullets.
As the ranchers try to pursuit the Angel they stumble upon the other X-Men and a small skirmish begins. Marvel Girl pulls Mr. Mack‘s hat over his eyes with her telekinetic powers and Cyclops scares them with a powerful blast. The four men fall into the river with their horses and while the three lackeys get out of there and head back to the town, Mr. Mack is persistent and tries to shoot Iceman with his pistol. He forgot all about Angel though, who dives from the skies towards him. He places him on his horse and Iceman makes an icecube around him, knowing that the horse knows the way home itself. With this danger solved the team focuses again on their business.
The river they spotted leads underground into the mountain, so Iceman makes an iceraft that the team can use to carry them into Lucifer's stronghold. When they are about to enter a large cave a whirlpool appears from below, breaking the raft apart and pulling the X-Men down.
Back at the landing site, the professor loses mental contact with the X-Men upon them entering the underground tunnel. By concentrating his mental power Xavier hopes to locate them, but he fails to notice two large robots sneaking up on him from behind. They quickly place a metal band around him so he can't move and they are immune to Xavier’s mental blast. The two robots take Xavier prisoner and fly off towards Lucifer's base.
The professor is taken to Lucifer, who explains his plan to enslave the world with and shows the professor his indestructible Dominus machine. The professor says the X-Men will stop him, but Lucifer isn't impressed and points to a large visi-screen.
The Angel has managed to escape from the whirlpool, but as the others might need his help, he dives into the whirlpool after them. Once down, he finds himself into an subterranean cavern and he spots Scott hanging on a pipe while holding Jean in his arms. He helps Scott and Jean to the shore of the underground river. The three of them go looking for the missing Beast and Iceman and see an opening in the wall. As they step through this opening suddenly a transparent cage erupts around them, trapping them.
Meanwhile the Beast is about to drown but then he gets pulled out by one of Lucifer's robots. The Iceman appears who saved himself on a surfboard made of ice and he slams straight into the robot from behind, freeing Beast. Iceman and Beast manage to take down the two robots and then leave but as they leave a metal wall suddenly appears in front of them and they slam into this wall, knocking them unconscious.
In the heart of the underground complex, the entire events were displayed on the visi-screen. Lucifer continues to tell the professor about his alien race who built the Dominus device. The machine is a very powerful weapon that can take away the independent will from entire populations. Dominus is so complex that it can only be operated by special robots.
The professor doesn't believe Lucifer, so he is shown images of their last conquest, a planet of the Sirius star. Dominus and the robots were sent to this planet through a beam of ionic light and after setting up a base of operations they completely enslaved the planet. Lucifer’s race have conquered many planets before and now Earth will be next.
Elsewhere in the complex, Jean, Scott and Angel try to free themselves from the glass prison but they fail. Three of the robots appear with the unconscious Hank and Iceman. As the robots are about to place them inside the same prison, which is called a “cosmic-cristalline cube“, the three X-Men in the cube plan to jump out of it as soon as the robots open the cube. Yet one of the robots activates a forcefield that holds the X-Men inside the cube, ruining their plans. With all of the X-Men trapped inside the cube, two of the robots leave.
Hank and Bobby slowly regain their consciousness, while the robot that was left behind starts to move the cube to a new location. Seeing a control panel on the wall, the Beast has a plan to escape. He lets Jean focus her powers on the lever that opens the cube and the X-Men manage to escape. The single robot is taken by surprise shot in the back of Cyclops‘ optic blast. The X-Men are free again and set out to find Lucifer.
As the X-Men escape, an alarm sounds and Lucifer orders his robots to search for the X-Men and destroy them. The X-Men are running through the enormous underground complex when two robots fly by. The X-Men hide and then they receive a telepathic message from the professor who tells them to not attack the machine called Dominus under any circumstances. When Angel discovers a passage towards the heart of Dominus a little dispute starts between Angel and Cyclops since Angel doesn't believe the telepathic message was really from the professor, so he wants to destroy the machine while they still have the chance. The others agree with Warren and they head deeper into the complex until the reach the core where they see Xavier and Lucifer.
The X-Men quickly come to the conclusion that the professor is under Lucifer's mental control since he isn't moving. As Lucifer reaches for a weapon, Jean uses her power to lift Lucifer's cape over his head making sure he can't shout any commands to his robots.
Angel flies towards Dominus, intending to destroy it. Cyclops wants Angel to stop but as he doesn’t listen which he uses his optic blast to shoot Warren down. Iceman agrees with Angel and throws a large rock of ice towards the machine, but Jean deflects it telekinetically. The X-Men continue to argue among each other whether the telepathic message really came from Xavier and if they should or shouldn't destroy the machine when suddenly the robots arrive.
As one of the five remaining robots flies towards Beast, he quickly leaps aside and the robot smashes into the
machine. The X-Men then see what the professor was warning them for. The robot that flew into the machine was completely destroyed while the machine itself was unharmed. The second robot dives towards the wounded Angel when Cyclops blasts the robot just in time. The last three robots them fly in formation towards the X-Men while firing rays at them. Iceman quickly conjures a curved shield of ice that deflects the rays at the machine. As these rays hit Dominus the rays are immediately backfired to the robots, destroying them at once.
As Lucifer curses the X-Men about destroying their robots the giant screen behind him lights up and his superior, the Supreme One, appears. Lucifer asks for mercy for his failure but the Supreme One is too upset with him since Dominus is useless without the robots to operate it. The shaft of ionic light appears again, drawing Dominus into it back to the aliens world.
The X-Men watch on as Lucifer fades into nothingness. As Dominus is completely gone the professor explains the X-Men that he probed the machine and learned that Dominus had the power to resist any form of attack, hurling back any force that tried to hurt it. This is why the professor wanted the X-Men to focus on the robots instead of the machine since the machine is useless without the robots. Having saved the planet once more, the X-Men return home.

Whether they would admit it, in past eras television news directors hated to see the end-of-the-year holidays coming for professional reasons.
Navigating a holiday schedule for reporters, producers, and anchors was often the equivalent of going three-wide at Talladega or Daytona. The chances of a crash and creating angst are exponentially multiplied.
Even with caveats when hiring personnel that seniority equals priority for time off on company holidays, someone comes away bruised and does not hesitate to let you, the omniscient manager, know it.
In my years as a news director, I employed a system that I thought couldn’t miss—-pick two out of the three Thanksgiving-Christmas-New Year holidays with Christmas reserved for the senior third of the staff. Yeah, that plan was sure-fire until the first reporter whined about not seeing his or her family on Christmas in four years. I stuck to the plan but made myself extraordinarily unpopular with some during the season of good cheer.
That brings me to the subject of Thanksgiving Day—which is a perpetually sore spot with scores of TV news personnel, even though, technically, the news never stops. One of the ten most frequently asked questions I had during my news career from the outside world was, “Why do you people do news on Thanksgiving Day?”
I can offer you a few sensible reasons why that is a logical question:
—-Thanksgiving Eve and Thanksgiving Day are considered the two heaviest travel days of the year when the bulk of your audience is unlikely to be home.
—-Thanksgiving Eve and Thanksgiving Day are perpetually two of the six least-watched days of television during the year. One of the few aberrations to the night before Thanksgiving was in 1999 when “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” became the national rage. ABC opted to expand “Millionaire” from a 13-night series to 18 nights, winding up on Thanksgiving Eve. People made that appointment for Regis. That has not seriously repeated itself.
—-Few things of earth-shattering substance occur on Thanksgiving Day or night.
True, this year, St. Louis is reeling from the aftermath of the Ferguson riots, a story that will extend well into December. A few of the megacities—Los Angeles and Oakland, in particular—have had to cope with the tentacles of Ferguson extending to violence from protesters. However, stop and ponder how many times a story of this ilk has erupted on Thanksgiving. In the last decade, aside from those who were coping with the effects of Hurricane Sandy (sorry, Weather Channel, I never adopted your “superstorm” designation and never will), you find few gamechanger stories.
I can tell you tonight what will constitute newscasts in most American cities Thanksgiving Day. With a few variations, this is what you will see if you tune in your local news after the football games:
—-People in soup kitchens, churches, or food pantries serving Thanksgiving meals to the less fortunate
—-People in line at retail stores for their doorbuster Thanksgiving Day specials (show up early at K-Mart for its 6 a.m. opening)
—-Any fights that break out between shoppers for the first-hour bargains
—-Whether the earlier store openings are diluting the impact of Black Friday shopping (this appears to be the hot economic story this year)
—-Man-on-the-street interviews on whether retail stores should be open on Thanksgiving Day.
—-Salvation Army bell-ringers
—-Travel delays at airports in cities with snow and sleet
—-The plunge in gas prices this year vs. last Thanksgiving’s price at the pump
—-Thanksgiving Day church services
—-Turkey Day 5K or marathon runs
—-Fatal highway accidents
—-Spot police stories
—-Tips on how to keep the pounds off during the holidays
—-Why people choose to take in a movie on Thanksgiving Day (because they don’t like football, they’re tired of the relatives and they don’t have any interest in local news on a holiday)
—-How to choose a Christmas tree (because surely your viewers have forgotten those vital tips you shared with them a year ago)
—-A few enterprise stories happily and generously produced earlier by reporters or anchors enjoying the big turkey meal at home while their colleagues sweat out how they are going to fill one, two or even three hours of air time with a skeleton crew
Bet the mortgage, you will see a reporter bundled up in a parka or large overcoat, smiling as if someone is prying his or her mouth open in front of a Best Buy, H.H. Gregg, or Staples. That journalist will have smoke spewing from his or her mouth while happily telling you how the crowd is packed inside to grab those sale-priced items. The reporter will have collared some unsuspecting soul who will say, “I just wanted to get that Xbox before they were all gone.” Hardly original, but the exercise will serve to fill two minutes of precious air time for the producer.
Folks, don’t blame the hard working people who are out and about doing stories that would be far more unlikely to air on a conventional non-holiday newscast. The task was monumental enough to deliver a product when the standard was predominantly to air a half-hour newscast on Thanksgiving Day. In smaller cities now having to produce two hours of news per day with limited staffs, I honestly don’t know how they do it—and if they could tell you, the reporters and producers would say they don’t know how they do it.
I will say what would have me impaled on a hook had I ever said this while actively and gainfully employed in television news. Virtually nothing occurs on Thanksgiving or Christmas in most cities that would kill a local news department’s image to take the day off. In 1983, when I was in Savannah, Ga., the dominant market leader WTOC went dark on Thanksgiving and Christmas. That station aired news specials and Christmas choirs in the news slots. My general manager insisted we had a chance to gain “big viewer sampling” on the two holidays. So, we forged ahead. That monstrous viewer sampling did not result in any measurable ratings spike in the February Nielsens.
I just sampled a 1964 Thanksgiving week TV Guide issue from Binghamton, Syracuse, Elmira and Wilkes-Barre. Six of the ten local stations in that edition eschewed local news on Thanksgiving Day. Sure, that was 50 years ago. I’m certain none of them touted they were “live! local! late-breaking!” or “on your side.” But I doubt if the world of the 1964 viewership of those New York or Pennsylvania cities was crushed or came to a grinding halt because local news did not air on Thanksgiving Day.
The sole reason for local news to air on Thanksgiving is the same reason as you will see a freezing reporter standing “live” in front of a box chain store somewhere in your city, if you choose to watch. The advertisers demand that local outlet to push their first-hour specials on Thanksgiving afternoon and night and Black Friday (even though Black Friday no longer has its original mystique). Even though local news audiences are fractionalized from what they were even 10 years ago, merchants still see newscasts as the best tools to reach potential customers.
I worked either Thanksgiving or Christmas or both during my first five years in TV news. That is what goes with the territory. One year, an anonymous viewer surprised our news staff with a turkey and a sandwich tray. A card attached read: “To my favorite newscasters. Sorry you’re having to work today.” So were we, but that one gesture made our day and night.
I make no bones about it. Thanksgiving Day is one holiday I set aside to spend with family. When the set goes on, as it does, it will be tuned to football and not local news. I won’t be alone. However, I have a great affinity for those thousands of young people who will be toiling in newsrooms much quieter than on a typical day. I’ve been there. All because the advertisers demand to sell their products on the biggest ticket days of the year. Their commercials make news jobs possible.
To those news staffs struggling and scrambling to fill much too much air time while the rest of us struggle and scramble to keep from filling too much of our stomachs, The Old TV News Coach sends this greeting—–a most happy and blessed Thanksgiving.

Reece Rockett earns IGFA junior world record with Port Aransas amberjack catch
PORT ARANSAS — It's not unheard of for offshore anglers to set out in search of a world record fish. But they usually give themselves more than a single day to accomplish the feat.
Not 15-year-old Reece Rockett, who happens to be the 2017 Deep Sea Roundup Junior Offshore Grand Champion. She also competes in freshwater tournaments as a member of her school's bass-fishing club in Flower Mound.
The International Game Fish Association, which is the accepted sanctioning body for angling records, approved and announced Reece's record amberjack catch this week.
Reece and her dad, Grant Rockett, who live in Flower Mound decided to pick a day during the narrow amberjack season in January. So they booked Port Aransas' Capt. Jake Mynier for Jan. 13.
The Rocketts had been fishing with the charter captain for about two years. They enjoyed a history of catching big fish aboard his 40-foot Ocean sportfisher named Badfish.
Mynier accepted the challenge and agreed to met Reece and her dad on a 40 degree morning with 5-foot seas.
Mynier had been catching big amberjack, aka AJs, and felt confident he could put Reece on a fish that weighed more than the current junior girl's record of 53-pounds, 1 ounce. So he prepared Reece's tackle to meet the rigid rules of the International Game Fish Association.
IGFA rules stipulate regulations for how the fish is caught and regarding specific line, tackle and gaff used to land a fish. The angler must receive virtually no aid during the entire process.
Before launching, Mynier simulated the catching of a hard-fighting AJ by sitting Reece in the fighting chair at the stern and adjusting the reel tension so that a heavy fish could not jerk her overboard during the fight.
It was a three-hour run to an undisclosed location about 50 miles into the Gulf. Reece nestled on the couch in the boat's cabin or salon for the chilly three-hour ride. She dreamed of breaking the record. Mynier ran slowly, about 17 knots or nearly 20 mph, in rough seas.
He made a single stop.
Reece was the only one who fished. Her first fish was a red snapper. They released it.
The second fish Reece hooked was an amberjack that weighed more than 50 pounds, by Mynier's estimate.
"It was too close to the record to take a chance," the captain said. "So it went in the fish box."
Next, Reece caught a small shark. Deckhand Chase Warburton released it.
Her fourth hookup is now etched in the IGFA record book. The AJ weighed 86 pounds, 9 ounces, or 33.5 pounds heavier than the previous record.
"The fight lasted around 20 minutes, but it felt like ages," Reece said "I was exhausted."
Since submitting her application for the amberjack, Reece has caught and sent in the paperwork for additional consideration for two IGFA women's red snapper records for fish caught on 20-pound-test and 16-pound-test line classes. Again, she was fishing with Mynier when she caught the snapper.
Mynier said the Rockett family was prepared to wait for months while the IGFA reviews Reece's applications as long as the outcome is a couple of new world records.

Question: I heard that Medicare Noridian Jurisdiction F (Alaska) has been denying claims with M99.00, M99.01, M99.02, M99.03 etc codes when billed with the CMT CPT codes. Did Medicare change their policy?
Answer: It is true that Noridian in Alaska began denying claims with these codes at the beginning of the year, but they have not changed their policy. They have since reversed their incorrect edit and according to Sheri Ryan at the Alaska Chiropractic Society, they are automatically reprocessing these claims. If you live in this area, give it up to 90 days and if you still have a problem contact their provider relations department.
This brings up an interesting point. Medicare has been moving away from including diagnosis codes in their LCDs and moving that information to Articles instead. This transitional phase may mean that your office may experience other problems like the one that happened in Alaska. In these types of situations, we recommend that you work with your state chiropractic association to resolve the issue.
You may also wish to review your local MAC's current LCDs and Articles. They can be found on the MAC website or listed with the CMT codes for those with a FindACode.com subscription.

Dining areas within this Melbourne restaurant are housed beneath individual pitched roofs, which local practice Biasol Design Studio added to give the space a "home away from home" feeling (+ slideshow).
The Kitty Burns restaurant is situated close to the bend of Melbourne's Yarra river in the suburb of Abbotsford.
With the aim of creating a space that would feel homely to the residents of the nearby area, Biasol Design Studio introduced a series of pitched roofs to the interior.
Through varying roof heights and designs, the open-plan space was organised into three different dining areas.
Smaller groups are seated underneath an overhanging wooden structure, and booths for larger parties are placed around the edge of the restaurant.
Diners can also eat at a bar area in the centre of space, or outside on the restaurant's terrace.
"Challenges presented themselves in the shape of pre-existing six-metre-high ceilings," said Biasol Design Studio. "We took this as an opportunity to capitalise on stunning natural light and open space while ensuring a level of intimacy was maintained."
"To maintain this, we designed three main dining areas to break up the space, creating unique dining experiences that work together cohesively."
Across the lower walls and surfaces, pale turquoise tiles contrast with Australian timber panels, while imitation greenery stretches towards the top of the high ceilings.
The restaurant is located close to Melbourne's iconic Skipping Girl – a neon sign originally constructed in the 1930s that advertises a vinegar brewery.
"The Skipping Girl story provided Kitty Burns with a name and created a dual personality for the brand," said the studio.
"The contrasting elements of the Kitty Burns personality are creatively woven into every design element – Kitty's fun-loving, playful personality, juxtaposed with Burns' more serious and structured side."
Biasol Design Studio was established in 2012 by Jean-Pierre Biasol. The Melbourne-based practice previously converted a disused prison into a cafe through used pastel-coloured wedges to pattern the light wooden walls.
Photography is by Ari Hatzis.

di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art Debuts Two Exhibitions in 2019:
Viola Frey: Center Stage
February 23–December 29, 2019
Building a Different Model: Selections from the di Rosa Collection
March 9–December 29, 2019
Napa, CA, January 31, 2019 – di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art will showcase the work of Viola Frey and its own significant collection of Northern California art in two exhibitions in 2019. On view February 23 through December 29, 2019, Viola Frey: Center Stage marks the artist’s first major institutional survey on the West Coast since 1981 and includes more than 100 works of art, offering a fresh take on Frey’s prolific and influential practice. On view March 9 through December 29, 2019, Building a Different Model: Selections from the di Rosa Collection is the first in a series of exhibitions exploring di Rosa’s remarkable holdings of Northern California art, organized by guest curators from beyond the Bay Area.
Frey, a fiercely independent artist up to her passing in 2004, is best known for her larger-than-life figurative ceramic sculptures. Viola Frey: Center Stage traces her career through a chronological progression spanning five decades. A large portion of the featured work—which includes not just ceramics, but also painting, drawing, photography, and bronze—has never been shown publicly.
Monumental ceramic works, including The Decline and Fall of Western Civilization (1992) and China Goddess Group (ca. 1979–81) will be shown alongside early works from the 1960s and 1970s, presenting an unprecedented look at the artist’s thinking and process. The large-scale presentation will occupy di Rosa’s 8,500-square-foot Gallery 2, marking the first time the gallery has been devoted to the work of a single artist. The exhibition draws from a mix of di Rosa’s extensive holdings, generous loans from Artists’ Legacy Foundation, and private collections.
“Frey’s wide-ranging interests—from identity to class, culture, consumerism, and environmental issues, with an undeniable undercurrent of feminist statement—parallel many of the pressing issues of our day,” observes curator Amy Owen. “This presentation is a long-overdue look at an artist working far ahead of her time.”
This is the first of three major solo exhibitions at di Rosa, rolling out over 2019 and 2020, focusing on singular artistic voices in Northern California art history. Exhibitions in 2020 will feature the work of Jean Conner and Deborah Remington. The series shines a light on the artists’ years living and working in the Bay Area, highlighting their shared impulse to draw inspiration from the personal, cultural, and environmental realms, and how critical aspects of the region enabled their work to develop and flourish. While their practices may not be viewed as overtly feminist, their distinct approaches to art making and their strong, independent spirits demonstrate an approach to feminism rooted in lived experience and unshakeable determination.
Viola Frey was born in Lodi, California, in 1933, and died in Oakland in 2004. She received her BFA and an honorary doctorate from California College of Arts and Crafts and attended graduate school at Tulane University. She was awarded two National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, the Award of Honor in Sculpture from the San Francisco Arts Commission, and many other grants and awards. Her work is in numerous public and private collections worldwide.
This exhibition is curated by Amy Owen in conjunction with the Artists’ Legacy Foundation, Oakland.
Building a Different Model: Selections from the di Rosa Collection is the first in a series of exhibitions exploring di Rosa’s remarkable holdings of Northern California art, organized by guest curators from beyond the Bay Area.
“One of the great strengths of postwar Northern California painting and sculpture is the collective reimagining of what art and the world can be,” says di Rosa Executive Director Robert Sain. “The di Rosa collection offers a vision apart from most art histories, one led by individual sensibilities focused on building languages of communication and community.”
Curated by Dan Nadel, some 70 works by 40 artists in Building a Different Model address the world through generative visions of transformation and repair through social, physical, and ceremonial relationships. Carlos Villa and K. Lee Manuel made garments-as-art or ceremonial garb; Norman Stiegelmeyer and Robert Bechtle offer visions of psychic shifts; paintings by William Theophilus Brown, Irene Pijoan, Oliver Lee Jackson, and Joan Brown catch their subjects on the cusp of social change. Exhibited here for the first time are 12 collaborative drawings by William Allan and friends William T. Wiley, Robert Hudson, Robert Nelson, and Bill Geis, which were made for Dorothy Wiley and Gunvor Nelson’s 70-minute film Five Artists: BillBobBillBillBob (1971) about those artists and their families. These and a handful of related drawings memorialize the ethos documented in the film and remain a powerful example of the collaborative, community-based art and life that found fertile ground at di Rosa itself.
“I selected works that surprised me and might surprise a visitor based on our knowledge of the art and artists,” said Nadel. He wanted to show extra dimensions of each artist, when possible, and bring to the fore artists who are known in the Bay Area but not much outside of it, like Oliver Lee Jackson and Carlos Villa. “It was important to me that this not be another show of ‘the usual gang’ or ‘funk art,’” he says.
Nadel focuses on the idea of “repair,” guided by two works by Bill Allan and William T. Wiley that appeared in the 1969 Repair Show at Berkeley Gallery: Indian History Repair (1969) and Repair for Super Natural Events and Natural Events (1969). The theme, repairing ourselves and our communities, is emphasized through collaboration (thus the 12 collaborative drawings), ritual (Carlos Villa), spiritual awareness (Stiegelmeyer, Bechtle, Pijoan, H.C. Westermann, Gage Taylor, James Melchert) and art made for the sake of demonstrating new ways to think about life and the land around us (Allan’s Rome painting, Paul Kos’s drawings). Nadel hopes visitors will come away with a sense that art can be transformative, and that these artists were working with the intent to demonstrate its potential for personal and communal revelation.
Based in New York, writer and curator Dan Nadel has previously curated the exhibitions What Nerve! Alternative Figures in American Art: 1960 to the Present, Rhode Island School of Design Museum, Providence (2014) and Matthew Marks Gallery, New York (2015), Victor Moscoso: Psychedelic Drawings, 1967–1982, Andrew Edlin Gallery, New York (2015), Return of the Repressed: Destroy All Monsters 1973–1977, PRISM, Los Angeles (2011); Karl Wirsum: Drawings 1967–1970, Derek Eller Gallery, New York (2010), Suellen Rocca: Bare Shouldered Beauty, Matthew Marks Gallery, New York (2016); The House That Jack Built, the first major Jack Kirby retrospective, Fumetto, Lucerne, Switzerland (2010), Macronauts, Athens Biennale (2007), The Passing of Time: Michael Hurson at Work, 1971–2001, Paula Cooper Gallery, New York (2017); Gertrude Abercrombie, Karma, New York (2018), Red Grooms, Handiwork 1955–2018, Marlborough Contemporary, New York (2018); and Alan Turner: Paintings 1979–2009, Parker Gallery, Los Angeles (2018). Nadel is a frequent contributor to Artforum and the New York Review of Books and has authored the books The Collected Hairy Who Publications (Matthew Marks Gallery, 2015), Art Out of Time: Unknown Comics Visionaries 1900–1969 (Harry N. Abrams, 2006), and Dorothy and Otis: Designing the American Dream (Harper Design, 2014).
Viola Frey: Center Stage is on view February 23 through December 29, 2019. Building a Different Model: Selections from the di Rosa Collection is on view March 9 through December 29, 2019. A public reception for both exhibitions takes place Saturday, March 9, 2019, 4–5:30 p.m.

EChecks – When to Use Them, Why to Use Them, and How to Use Them
For most online game players, one of the most difficult parts of establishing an account involves finding a deposit/funding option that works and is easy to use. Echeck Casinos have solved this dilemma by providing a free, easy, and almost-instant deposit option using eChecks. In a nutshell, eChecks are simply a way for you to use your personal bank account to access funds for the site of your choice – it is the equivalent of writing a paper check to the site electronically, hence the name “eCheck”.
So why should you care about using eChecks? Well, simply put, it is the easiest way to get money onto an online casino if you’re located in the US. Many USA players will probably find that their credit cards may be declined for one reason or another, but e checks almost always work flawlessly. See below for some of the top eCheck casinos:

You may be apt to think that with a name of Sports Interaction you would only find sports betting. However, this is not true! Sports Interaction Casino offers hundreds of casino games, poker, and everything in between. The cherry on top if the acceptance of instant eChecks. So not only can you basically play whatever you want, from where ever you are, Sports Interaction is a top eChecks casino. Check out our screen shots below to see how to deposit using echecks at Sports Interaction!
Several online casino sites now offer the option to deposit by eCheck, just like many instant echecks poker rooms. They do this because it is a safe, quick, secure deposit method for both you and the processing site, so in that regard, everyone truly wins! Echeck casinos are interested in getting your deposit processed and getting you to the tables, so they have provided this method to make it fast, easy, and painless for you to begin playing.
In order to get started, all you need is a player account on the site of your choice plus a valid bank account and you are ready to go. Many sites offer the option (we’ll cover a few of those below), but first let’s walk through the deposit process, using Sports Interaction Casino and Sportsbook as an Example:
++ Step 1: Establish a Player Account on the site of your choice. Make sure that the account uses legitimate personal information, or your bank transaction will be declined.
++ Step 2: Find the “eCheck” Option in the Deposit menu, and it is important to note that almost every eCheck Casino will use the same icon and logo for this method. It looks like this (you can see the eCheck option in the middle):
Click the “Deposit” Button to the right of the eCheck Logo in order to get started on the final form.
++ Step 3: Add your personal Banking Information in the next form and choose your Deposit amount (Limits vary by site, for this site it is a minimum of $25 USD and a maximum of $200 USD). The information will be entered on this form:
(Note that on this form your personal info is already set from earlier, so make sure it is correct! Instant echeck Casinos will simply decline your transaction if the personal info, banking details, and deposit amount are incorrect or incomplete, so take your time filling it all out!)
That’s really all there is to depositing using eChecks! Their main benefit to you as a player is their simplicity, PLUS the fact that you are using funds you already have, as opposed to racking up charges on a credit card that will have to be paid back later. In most cases, the deposit will be instantaneous or close to it; as soon as the site can verify your funds, they will let you get to work using them! Any eCheck Casino that offers the option is worth checking out as it is a safe, easy, and secure deposit method.
So what sites offer the eCheck option? Obviously Sports Interaction (our example site) is one that offers it, as is Lucky Red Casino, Rome Casino, Cool Cat Casino, and Casino States, just to name a few. You can download free casino games at these eCheck Casinos and others that offer the deposit method for every new player that signs up.
Just a few things to consider/note about using eChecks:
— Most sites have time-based limits on eCheck deposits. (Maximum daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits)
— Some sites will require you to fill out a personal verification form (which may include photos of your ID and information) to “prove that you are you” – – it’s a security measure to protect you as a player.
— If your transaction is declined and all of the information presented was
correct, contact the site first, the bank second.
— Withdrawals from an eCheck account may be electronic (and thus quicker), or they may be by paper check, it just depends on the site. Make sure you KNOW the withdrawal process before you deposit.
ECheck Casinos offer a great deposit option for all players (particularly US-based players), and their simplicity makes them a top choice for getting started quickly, safely, and efficiently on a new gaming site. Good Luck at the Tables!

This gene encodes a transcription factor containing a POU homeodomain that plays a key role in embryonic development and stem cell pluripotency. Aberrant expression of this gene in adult tissues is associated with tumorigenesis. This gene can participate in a translocation with the Ewing's sarcoma gene on chromosome 21, which also leads to tumor formation. Alternative splicing, as well as usage of alternative AUG and non-AUG translation initiation codons, results in multiple isoforms. One of the AUG start codons is polymorphic in human populations. Related pseudogenes have been identified on chromosomes 1, 3, 8, 10, and 12. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]

The following is an excerpt of a 3 June 2019 CPJ blog post by Gulnoza Said, CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator.
But Askarov, a 68-year-old independent journalist and rights activist, shouldn’t be in jail at all. The U.N. Human Rights Committee ruled in 2016 that Askarov was subject to torture and mistreatment from the moment of his detention on June 15, 2010 to his speedy trial and subsequent imprisonment, and that he should be released immediately. CPJ’s research into his case found that the original trial was marred by irregularities and allegations of torture, mistreatment and harassment of defendants, including Askarov, and their witnesses. But Kyrgyz authorities defied the U.N. resolution and in 2017, amid international outcry, upheld his life sentence.
Conditions in the new prison are harsh. In letters home, the journalist wrote that he had run ins with the guards and that prison officials punish detainees after visiting days. His health is also deteriorating and he has limited access to medication, the journalist’s wife, Askarova, said.

If you’re an Apple Maps user, you may have now noticed searched for hotels will now bring up reviews from Booking.com, making for an additional review partner for the service, to join Yelp (via MacRumors).
While users in the United States are also seeing hotel searches show up with TripAdvisor reviews, our quick test in Canada only brought up Booking.com in results, as seen in our screenshots below:
Tapping the link within Apple Maps results will open up Safari to show you the reviews from Booking.com.
We haven’t used Apple Maps in ages (it’s hiding in a folder), instead granting Google Maps the coveted spot on our iPhone’s home screen. While this brings convenient review information for hotel reviews, it’s not enough for us to switch over to Apple Maps.
Let us know if you see TripAdvisor results in Canada at all on top of reviews from Booking.com.

Things are about to get super meta at downtown L.A.’s Central Library this month with 21 Collections: Every Object Has a Story (September 28 through January 27), which is exactly what it sounds like: an exhibition about exhibitions.
Inspired by the idea of public libraries as repositories of ephemera, the showcase demonstrates how even the most seemingly random objects—found paper airplanes gathered by experimental filmmaker Harry Smith, matchbooks from gay bars, typewriters amassed by Tom Hanks, decades-old candy wrappers—reveal compelling histories all their own. It’s the handiwork of Todd Lerew, program manager for the Library Foundation of Los Angeles, who spent years scouring Southern California for odd and obscure collections. “Libraries are responsible for maintaining collections that tell the stories of the people they serve,” Lerew says. “We wanted to highlight that role.”
Consider the show’s centerpiece, a life-size elephant made of California walnuts, originally assembled for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. Built as an emblem of the state’s agricultural bounty and recreated for 21 Collections, it’s as untraditional a “collection” as any, yet it played a role in shaping the city we know today. “We found articles directly claiming that the walnut elephant was partially responsible for the growth of Los Angeles,” Lerew says. “It was that big of a driver in people making the leap to come to California.” (After all, the early boosterism efforts could never have been achieved with just “a” or “some” walnuts.) Those candy wrappers? They illuminate the histories of graphic design, fad diets, and the FDA.
“There are whole categories of knowledge that only collectors have,” says William Davies King, author of the book Collections of Nothing, whose assemblage of patterned envelope linings is part of the exhibit. The value of that knowledge may not be immediately obvious, but for many collectors, that’s kind of the point: Collections hold answers to questions that have yet to be asked. “We really liked the idea that, as a public library, you can’t know what questions someone’s going to come in with in a couple years—or even tomorrow,” Lerew says. “This idea of not knowing what questions the future will be asking can be applied to anything you can collect.”

Erie Mason, Summerfield and Gibraltar Carlson posted boys basketball victories Tuesday night.
HUDSON – Aiden Keane is transitioning well.
After leading Erie Mason's junior varsity basketball team in scoring last year, Keane is quickly finding his way up with the varsity.
"I can't say enough about Aiden Keane," gushed Mason coach Kevin Skaggs.
Keane hit four 3-pointers and scored 16 points in his first start to help guide Mason to a 79-65 win over Hillsdale on Tuesday.
"We got off to a really good start," said Skaggs, whose team led 19-9 after the first quarter. "We found some really balanced scoring with four guys in double figures, which is something we've been searching for."
Joey Liedel led Mason (3-1) with 29 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 steals, Walker Willis had 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Dylan Worden added 14 points and 8 rebounds.
Mason led by as many as 24 points in the game but Hillsdale kept the pressure on and continually cut into the lead whenever the Eagles tried to turn to their bench.
"It was a lot like a college game," Skaggs said. "A lot of momentum back and forth. The momentum dictated the outcome. We were able to get the momentum a lot."
Summerfield 64, Britton Deerfield 42
BRITTON – Four players scored in double figures to help Summerfield roll past Britton Deerfield.
Ethan Eyler scored 7 of his 11 points in the first quarter to help Summerfield get out to a 24-8 lead.
Brendan Dafoe led the Bulldogs (4-0) with 13 points, Roman Iott scored all 10 of his points in the fourth quarter to help seal the win, and Bryce Smith added 10 points.
"Really happy with the balanced effort," Summerfield coach Dave Raymond said. "We really controlled the game from the start. We controlled the game on the defensive end and caused a lot of turnovers, and controlled the boards for the most part too."
Dundee 78, Hudson 74
HUDSON – Dundee fell behind by double digits in the first quarter before flipping the script on Hudson.
"We battled back to take an 11-point lead at halftime (50-39)," Dundee coach Jordan Bollin said. "It was a high-paced game."
Hudson cut into Dundee's lead in the fourth quarter with back-to-back 3-poitners, including one as time expired.
Dallas Bolster led the Vikings (3-2) with 38 points, Blaze McBee scored 12 points, and Matt Vann added 10.
Gibraltar Carlson 66, Allen Park 38
ALLEN PARK – Gibraltar Carlson led wire to wire behind 28 points from Cal Raymond and 16 points and 10 rebounds from Jerez Rinehart.
The Marauders took a 14-7 lead in the first quarter and extended their lead to 28-16 at halftime.
"We played our best game of the year," Carlson coach Rob Raymond said. "We rebounded the ball well and played good defense. We gave a good effort all four quarters."
Carlson improved to 3-1 overall.
Brooklyn Columbia Central 40, Ida 32
IDA – Brooklyn Columbia Central outscored Ida 12-7 in the fourth quarter to pull away in a close contest.
"We played tight up until halfway through the fourth quarter," Ida coach Jared Janssen said. "It was a good game back and forth and they got us there at the end."
Evan Bonk made his first career start for Ida (1-4) and led with 10 points. Freshman Carter Diedrich added 8 points and 10 rebounds.
Grosse Ile 55, Milan 47
MILAN – Grosse Ile got hot in the second half, hitting 8 of their 11 3-pointers after the intermission.
That allowed the Red Devils to pull away after leading 25-23 at the half.
“It was a hard-fought loss,” Milan Chris Pope said. “We missed seven free throws in the second half.”
Kyle Carey and Evan Furtney had 17 points each for the 1-4 Big Reds.
Grosse Ile took the JV game 30-23.
Faith Davison 47, State Line 20
DAVISON -- Brayden Wright was the top scorer for 3-8 State Line Christian with 6 points.
"It was a rough night," State Line coach Nathan Nash said. "They have a really good team and we could not hit a shot."
Flat Rock postponed
FLAT ROCK – The Flat Rock vs. Allen Park Inter-City Baptist game scheduled for Tuesday was postponed until Thursday because of illness.
It will be played at Inter-City.

Companion animals have been kept by humans for centuries. Many civilizations heralded their animal counter parts, who brought joy and health to their lives, with elaborate burials and even statuses. Dogs have been renowned as man's best friend since the dawn of time and there is a saying about cats - that one is never enough (cat lady, anyone?). But did you know that our pets also play a real role on ours and our children's health?
A new study is out, conducted in Finland, showing that infants living in the home with either a dog, a cat, or both have higher immunities than children living in homes without animals. It is believed that the exposure to outside elements, as well as animal dander, allow an infant's immune system to better develop and to be more adept at fighting infections. It can also lessen instances of gastroenteritis (the stomach bug).
This new study, on the heels of one that recently came out stating a dog's dander is good for protecting children from childhood asthma and upper-respiratory infections, also states that dogs and cats that travel in and out of the home bring in dirt and other matter, which most parents would generally protect their child from. The exposure to these materials, germs and all, are actually helping to improve children's immune systems. Exposing them in small amounts is basically like training their systems against potentially harmful germs.
Most studies that have been done as of late are based on allergens. They either show that having animals creates allergies or helps allergies. This particular study shows an actual correlation between amounts of times children with pets became ill and children without pets became ill. The study illustrates that fewer cases of gastroenteritis were found in the reviewed children, as well as upper-respiratory infections, as long as the child was in constant contact with a pet.
Many parents are afraid of germs. None of us want to see something bad happen to our children, and for good reason! However, Man's Best Friend and his Kitty Counterpart have come to show us, yet again, just why we need each other. Studies like this show a few things about our children's health. First, their little immune systems can be much more resilient than we think, and secondly germs are not always bad. Leave to our furry friends to help us with this health lesson.Sources: AJC From Savannah, GA http://www.ajc.com/health/many-babies-healthier-in-1475064.html Health Day http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2012/07/09/babies-with-pets-not-dogged-by-colds-study L.A.

OUR RATING: ★★☆☆☆
Romantic thriller directed and co-written by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. The story follows math teacher Frank Tupelo (Johnny Depp), who during an impromptu trip to Europe to mend a broken heart, finds himself in an extraordinary situation when a stranger, Elise (Angelina Jolie), places herself in his path. Their seemingly innocent flirtation turns into a dangerous game of cat and mouse while various people, who all think that Frank is Elise’s thieving paramour, Alexander Pearce, try to capture the pair.

[first English speaking lines; Acheson answers his cell phone]
John Acheson: Yes?
Capitaine Courson: She’s at the usual cafe. She’s speaking with a man. He looks like a messenger, but you said to call you if anything changed in her routine.
[referring to the surveillance camera’s following Elise]
John Acheson: Stay on his face. His face.
Capitaine Courson: Do you think he’s Alexandra Pearce?
John Acheson: I think everybody’s Pearce.
[reading the letter that she received]
Elise: [voice over] Elise, you have no reason to trust me anymore, but give me a chance to explain myself. I know the police are watching you, we have to throw them off the trail. Board the eight-twenty-two, the Gare de Lyon, pick someone my height and build and make them believe it is me. Burn this letter. It is important you follow my instructions precisely. I love you, Alexander.
[Acheson is watching Elise read the letter on the surveillance camera]
John Acheson: It’s from him.
[she burns the letter, Acheson gives instructions to the French police]
John Acheson: Save that letter. Go in now, save that letter.
John Acheson: Well?
Brigadier: The letter is burnt to shit.
John Acheson: Don’t fucking touch it. Get the ashes, take them to the van. I’ll send you someone.
Chief Inspector Jones: So, Alexander Pearce has a new face, just as you suspected. I’d have thought it must have taken quite a lot of the money he stole from Reginald Shaw to finance this transformation.
[looks at a picture of the courier that had given the letter to Elise at the cafe earlier]
Chief Inspector Jones: Achmed Tchebali, bicycle courier of Algerian decent. Not only has Pearce acquired a wife and a child, he’s also four inches shorter than he used to be. That must have been a big item of expenditure.
[looks at Acheson]
Chief Inspector Jones: [sarcastically] Congratulations, Acheson. You have indeed cracked this case.
John Acheson: Sir, this morning she received a note and we have strong reason to believe…
Chief Inspector Jones: Alexander Pearce, has seven hundred and forty four million in illegal assets, that given he is a British subject we might seize. This operation so far has cost me eight million. If I thought there were more than a one in a hundred chance you could be successful, it would be rational for me to continue this operation. I do not.
[on the train, Elise has picked Frank to sit opposite]
Frank Tupelo: I’m sorry.
Elise: What for?
[uncertain what to say, Frank just smiles at her]
Frank Tupelo: Do you mind me smoking? It’s not a real cigarette.
Frank Tupelo: It’s electronic. It delivers the same amount of nicotine but the smoke is water vapor. Yeah, watch.
[he takes a few drags of the electronic cigarette and stabs the end on his hand]
Frank Tupelo: LED light.
Elise: That’s somewhat disappointing.
Frank Tupelo: Would you rather have me smoking for real?
Elise: I would rather you be a man who did exactly as he pleased.
Elise: I’m Elise.
Frank Tupelo: I’m Frank.
Elise: That’s a terrible name.
Frank Tupelo: [laughing] It’s the only one I’ve got.
Elise: Maybe we can find you another.
Frank Tupelo: Okay.
Frank Tupelo: What brings you to Venice?
Elise: You read spy novels. I’m the mysterious woman on the train, you tell me what my story is.
Frank Tupelo: Okay. Um, I think you could be a diplomatic attaché.
Frank Tupelo: Or maybe, a girl from East Germany, who’s father’s been kidnapped and they’re blackmailing you into stealing something for them. Probably a micro-film. There’s usually micro-film involved.
Elise: What awaits me?
Frank Tupelo: Trouble, certainly.
Frank Tupelo: Oh, yeah! You’ll most likely be shot at in less than two chapters.
Elise: Hmm. Is there a man in my life?
Frank Tupelo: Have to wait and see.
Elise: Invite me to dinner, Frank?
Frank Tupelo: What?
[she gives him a look]
Frank Tupelo: Would you like to have dinner?
Elise: Women don’t like questions.
Frank Tupelo: Join me for dinner.
Elise: Too demanding.
Frank Tupelo: Join me for dinner?
Elise: Another question.
[Frank thinks for a moment]
Frank Tupelo: I’m having dinner, if you’d care to join me.
[Elise smiles at him]
[Frank shakes his head]
Elise: Bar tender?
[Frank shakes his head again]
Elise: I give up.
Frank Tupelo: Math. I teach math.
Elise: I would not have guessed that. I’d imagine you a cool maths teacher though.
Frank Tupelo: Still a math teacher.
[shows him a picture of Frank]
John Acheson: Could this be Pearce?
Acheson’s Assistant: Are we still working on that?
[Acheson doesn’t answer]
Acheson’s Assistant: Well, I only have the sketches to go by so…
[studies the photo of Frank]
Acheson’s Assistant: Ectomorph. Same basic phenotype. Bottom line, it could be him.
John Acheson: I knew he couldn’t leave her. Run a worldwide line check on that face, I bet you ten quid there’s no match.
Acheson’s Assistant: Okay, but what case number do you want to book it under?
John Acheson: Just run it.
Acheson’s Assistant: You really think it’s Pearce?
John Acheson: Run it.
Frank Tupelo: I have a strange feeling that those two people over there are watching us.
Elise: Do you know something? I think you’re right.
Frank Tupelo: Really?
Elise: You’re a paranoid math teacher.
Elise: So, what are you doing all alone in the city of lovers? Is there no one in your life?
Frank Tupelo: There was.
Elise: What happened?
Frank Tupelo: She left me.
Elise: I’m sorry to hear that, Frank.
[after hearing the announcement that train will stop at the end of the line]
Frank Tupelo: I guess I should go and get my suitcase and stuff.
Frank Tupelo: Goodbye. Thank you.
Acheson’s Assistant: Sir, I…
John Acheson: Wait.
[reads from the remains of the note that Pearce had sent to Elise]
John Acheson: Pick someone my height and build and make them believe it’s me.
Acheson’s Assistant: We did get an exact match. He’s a maths teacher from Madison Community College. Frank Tupelo. Lost his wife in a car crash three years ago. He’s a tourist.
John Acheson: Thank you.
[Elise is on a boat notices Frank and calls him over]
Elise: Do you want to come with me?
Frank Tupelo: What? Oh, yeah, sure. I mean, I could use the lift, yeah. Thank you. That’s very kind.
[in their hotel room he notices Elise looking at the closet full of clothes and jewelry]
Elise: This really is a very nice hotel, isn’t it?
Frank Tupelo: They think of everything, don’t they?
[to his men]
Reginald Shaw: You know he will be with her. They’ll be staying at one of the grand hotels. The Gritti, the Regina, the Danieli. I want you to keep a watch on all of them. You can kill the girl, but you can’t kill him. Not until I have my money that is.
[Elisa all dressed up walks into their sitting room, Frank look at her in shock]
Frank Tupelo: Fuck! You’re ravenous.
Elise: Do you mean, ravishing?
Frank Tupelo: I do.
Elise: You’re ravenous.
Frank Tupelo: I am.
Elise: Come on.
Elise: The, um, the scampi and champagne risotto, please.
Waiter Antonio: Excellent choice. Excellent.
Frank Tupelo: He didn’t say that to me. Did he not like my choice?
Elise: Your choice was excellent.
Frank Tupelo: Who is he? Hotels don’t leave gifts like that, do they? Who is he?
Elise: He’s someone who used to be very important to me.
Frank Tupelo: Used to? Are you meeting him in Venice?
Elise: I hope so. Part of me hopes I don’t.
Frank Tupelo: Why?
Elise: Because, I don’t like being told what to do. I don’t like being summoned. But it felt even worse not hearing from him for two years.
[Frank notices Elise touching her bracelet]
Elise: It’s the, um, the Roman god, Janus. My mother gave it to me when I was little. She wanted to teach me that people have two sides. A good side, a bad side, a past, a future. And that we must embrace both in someone we love. And I tried.
Frank Tupelo: What’s he like?
Elise: He’s different, from anybody I know.
Frank Tupelo: Different’s good. Where I come from, the highest compliment they can offer a person is to say that they’re down to earth, grounded. I hate it. It drives me nuts.
[in their hotel room]
Frank Tupelo: It really was a nice restaurant, wasn’t it? Very nice wine. I’m making us a nice little drink. Which is very nice of me, isn’t it?
[Elise laughs, he hands her the drink]
Elise: Thank you.
Frank Tupelo: Were those flowers here when we checked in?
[she opens and reads the note that was on the flowers]
Elise: It’s an invitation to a ball, two nights from now.
Frank Tupelo: Ah, you’ve been summoned.
Elise: It appears I have.
Frank Tupelo: May I pay you a compliment?
Elise: Another question you need never ask.
Frank Tupelo: You are the least down to earth person I’ve ever met.
[Elise kisses him and the men camping outside her hotel start taking surveillance pictures]
Elise: It’s been a long day. I do hope the couch will be comfortable. Good night.
[two men are trying to kill Frank, he locks himself in the bathroom and calls the hotel reception]
Frank Tupelo: Hello? Please help!
Hotel Concierge Alessio: Buongiorno signore.
Frank Tupelo: Buongiorno. I need help! There are two men trying to break down the door.
Hotel Concierge Alessio: I see, what kind of problem do you have with the door, sir?
Frank Tupelo: No, no, no! There are two men with guns trying to break in! Dos hombres, con pistolas!
Hotel Concierge Alessio: Your Spanish is excellent, sir.
Frank Tupelo: Thank you.
[the men shoot their guns at the door]

[puts the phone down]
Hotel Concierge Alessio: American!
[on the phone to Acheson]
Sergente Cerato: Commander Acheson, two armed men are chasing the American from yesterday. Shots have been fired. Request permission to intervene.
John Acheson: You still have Elise?
Sergente Cerato: I still have a visual on the Elise Ward, but the American is in imminent danger.
John Acheson: You mean the mathematics teacher from Wisconsin? I’d say not our man, Nate.
Sergente Cerato: Sir, this man is in real peril.
John Acheson: This is exactly why she chose him. To distract us. Stay with her, do not move unless she moves. Am I making myself crystal clear?
Sergente Cerato: Sir, they will kill him.
John Acheson: Not our man, Nate.
[at the police station]
Colonnello Lombardi: Now, you wish to report a murder?
Frank Tupelo: No, some people tried to kill me.
Colonnello Lombardi: I was told you were reporting a murder.
Frank Tupelo: Attempted murder.
Colonnello Lombardi: That’s not so serious.
Frank Tupelo: Mmm, no, not when you downgrade it from a murder. But when you upgrade it from room service it’s quite serious.
Colonnello Lombardi: So is assaulting a police officer.
Frank Tupelo: That was an accident.
Colonnello Lombardi: The officer feels differently.
Frank Tupelo: With all due respect sir, I think maybe I should be talking to someone, someone not Italian. The embassy or Interpol.
Colonnello Lombardi: Interpol?
Frank Tupelo: I’m an American citizen.
Colonnello Lombardi: What does it mean?
Frank Tupelo: I don’t know, but I’m involved in something here and no offense, this is not a local issue.
Colonnello Lombardi: What is it you think you are involved in?
Frank Tupelo: It all started when I met woman on the train from Paris.
Colonnello Lombardi: This is already good.
Frank Tupelo: I know, I know. She took me to her hotel.
Colonnello Lombardi: Ah, bene.
Frank Tupelo: I know. No! She’s involved with another man and I think she’s in love. I
Colonnello Lombardi: I’m sorry to hear that.
Frank Tupelo: I know. Anyway, this man, whatever his story is, some people are obviously trying to kill him.
Colonnello Lombardi: How do you know this?
Frank Tupelo: Because they tried to kill me.
Colonnello Lombardi: They tried to kill you.
Frank Tupelo: Yes! Because they must have thought that I was him.
Colonnello Lombardi: I like you, Mr. Tupelo.
Frank Tupelo: I like you too, sir.
Colonnello Lombardi: But surely you understand how strange this all sounds. Come with me.
[he takes a handcuffed Frank out of his office]
Frank Tupelo: Where are you taking me?
[Frank sees that he’s been taken to a police lock up cell]
Frank Tupelo: Oh, you’re going to lock me in there?
Colonnello Lombardi: Don’t worry.
Frank Tupelo: Please don’t do this. Sir, I’ve done nothing wrong. Please.
[as he’s locking the cell door]
Colonnello Lombardi: It’s only I check some facts.
[Lombardi enters the cell that he’d locked Frank in earlier in the day]
Colonnello Lombardi: You’re facts checked out. We have to leave. You’re not safe here.
Frank Tupelo: I don’t understand.
Colonnello Lombardi: This has to look right.
[he puts Frank into handcuffs and takes him out of the cell]
Colonnello Lombardi: Come on.
Colonnello Lombardi: The man you are talking about is called Alexander Pearce. He stole big money from a gangster. They’ve come to Venice to find him. They think you are him. They pays, uh, come si dice. A bounty on your head. That’s why you’re not safe.
[he’s left Frank handcuffed in a boat and meets with Shaw’s bodyguards]
Colonnello Lombardi: You’ve come to buy a key?
[one of the men hands him an envelope filled with money]
Colonnello Lombardi: Brand new bills. I appreciate it.
[he begins to count the money]
Shigalyov: You think we cheat you?
Colonnello Lombardi: Of course not. I just enjoy counting.
[referring to Frank escaping with Elise]
Shigalyov: We tried everything, sir. But he got away.
Reginald Shaw: So I heard. So I heard.
[to his tailor]
Reginald Shaw: They’re referring to the young man who stole two point three billion dollars from me.
Arturo the Tailor: Mama mia!
Reginald Shaw: You know I worked very hard for years so I wouldn’t have to do the dirty work anymore. No more chasing traitors, no more killing. Now I employ people to do those things for me.
[he takes his tailors measuring tape and walks behind Shigalyov]
Reginald Shaw: Accept that you don’t.
[he suddenly starts to strangle Shigalyov to death with the measuring tape]
[after he’s just killed his bodyguard Shigalyov he walks up to the mirror and looks at his suit]
Reginald Shaw: Does it look all right?
[his bodyguards look scared]
Virginsky: Like always
Reginald Shaw: What’s always?
Virginsky: Very good.
Reginald Shaw: Yes, I think it looks all right.

Royal Mail and Trading Standards have joined forces to launch a new initiative to tackle scam mail in the postal system
- The joint initiative between Royal Mail, the National Trading Standards Scams Team for England and Wales and Trading Standards Scotland creates a new improved process for cancelling the contracts of companies that send fraudulent mail.
- Alongside this, officers from Trading Standards are holding dedicated training sessions at Royal Mail delivery offices across the UK to improve awareness of scam mail among postmen and women so that they can report suspect items.
- Royal Mail and Trading Standards are encouraging people who believe they, or a family member, are receiving potentially fraudulent mail to report it.
Royal Mail and Trading Standards have joined forces to launch a new initiative to tackle scam mail in the postal system.
New agreement between Trading Standards and Royal Mail
The joint initiative between Royal Mail, the National Trading Standards Scams Team for England and Wales and Trading Standards Scotland creates a new improved process for cancelling the contracts of companies that send fraudulent mail.
Under the initiative, Trading Standards will determine whether a mailing is fraudulent and alert Royal Mail, before writing to the identified company requesting they stop posting the items. Alongside this, Royal Mail will warn the company about its actions before cancelling its contract if it continues to post fraudulent items.
Improving awareness of scam mail
Royal Mail and Trading Standards offices across England, Scotland and Wales are also working together to raise awareness of scam mail.
Officers from Trading Standards are holding dedicated training sessions at delivery offices across the UK to improve awareness of scam mail among postmen and women.
This will help postmen and women identify what they suspect could be fraudulent mailings so that these mailings can be investigated by Trading Standards.
Postmen and women will be encouraged to report suspect mail to Royal Mail’s internal security team. Royal Mail will pass the information to Trading Standards so that they can investigate suspected scam mail and support potential victims.
Royal Mail and Trading Standards are also encouraging people who believe they, or a family member, are receiving potentially fraudulent mail to report it.
People who want to make us aware of potentially fraudulent mail so that we can then work with the relevant authorities to investigate and take action can write to Royal Mail at Freepost Scam Mail or call us on 03456 113 413 or email [email protected]
Alternatively, you can contact Citizens Advice consumer service by calling 03454 04 05 06, writing to Citizens Advice consumer service, Post Point 24, Town Hall, Walliscote Grove Road, Weston super Mare, North Somerset, BS23 1UJ or by completing an online form here: https://forms.adviceguide.org.uk/complaint_post.aspx
Royal Mail’s Group Security Director Tony Marsh said: “We very much understand the upset and anxiety that scam mail can cause, in particular to vulnerable people and their families. This new initiative with the National Trading Standards Scams Team will help us to better identify scam mail to stop it entering our postal network.
“We do not want our postmen or women handling or delivering mail that causes harm. Royal Mail will work closely with the National Trading Standards Scams Team to identify and stop scam mail wherever we can.”
Lord Toby Harris, Chair, National Trading Standards, said: “This is an important step that will help disrupt scam mail operations and reduce people’s exposure to this fraudulent practice. Our partnership with Royal Mail will help those people – often the elderly or vulnerable – from being targeted in their homes. It also sends a clear message to those behind these scams that tackling this issue is a priority for National Trading Standards, Royal Mail and our partners.”
Councillor Stephen Hagan, Chair of the Consumer Protection Task Group, said: “This is an excellent example of partnership working between Trading Standards and business to protect vulnerable consumers. Scammers deliberately target the vulnerable – so we must ensure they get the protection they need.”
Consumer Affairs Minister Jo Swinson said: “I welcome the collaboration between Royal Mail and Trading Standards which will help tackle the threat posed by postal scammers. Stopping fraudulent mail from entering the postal system will better protect the most vulnerable of people and mean they won’t become victims of targeted, and often cleverly worded traps, designed to part them from their savings.”

What a story
New Zealand win their first World Cup title since 2003.
In dramatic fashion, as has been many an epic battle at this level, the Silver Ferns held on to stave off a fast finishing Australian side to win the Netball World Cup Final, 52-51, overnight.
The comentators, almost horse from the frantic calls, amplified New Zealands awesome achievement after sixteen years of hammering at the door, to finally hoist the Cup and say "it's ours", was memorable. Marie Folau was outstanding at the net as was the entire NZ contingent. having to psychologically prepare for a final after going down to the Diamonds in the semi's must have been a battle in itself. But they simply went on with it for the big one, flustering the Aussies at the brekdowns and making sure they had to work for every point is indicative of the close scoreline.
In what has been billed an absolutely exhilarating and exhausting final even for the spectators, the Diamonds just couldn't close out the Ferns, surrendering the worlds top spot in the sport for the first time in almost two decades.
NZ will finally be etched onto the silverwear before the ladies take it back home to go in the trophy cabinette.
Scenes of utter joy at one end and total dismay at the other as the Silver Ferns, finally put paid to a sixteen year drought and finally get to take home the silverware.
Well done New Zealand Silver Ferns.

Newswise — June 1, 2020 – Today, the American Thoracic Society issued the following statement regarding the death of George Floyd:
The recent tragic death of Mr. George Floyd in Minneapolis and subsequent protests throughout the United States and in cities around the world call on us to again examine the role of the American Thoracic Society. As an international professional organization whose members are on the front lines of providing care to all citizens, our members are now experiencing first-hand some of the effects of these events.
As ATS members, we are strongly committed to our core principles: providing and innovating healthcare to all in need through clinical care, education, research, and discovery. It is not enough, however, to stand by idly and witness the effects of wanton cruelty and violence.
As a professional society, it is also important that we have an active voice in the ongoing debate that is racking the United States; the debate surrounding racial intolerance is once more at the forefront of our consciousness. Racism has been brought into sharp focus once again, as we are made aware of the racially-based disparities in healthcare delivery and outcomes that have become painfully obvious in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. These disparities are at the core of the tragic events unfolding in Minneapolis and in other cities throughout the country.
We will never achieve our highest potential if we cannot look beyond the color of our fellow citizens’ skin or our countries of origin. We must not leave this challenge to others to act on. Rather, it is a test that we all must face and pass … together.

NOPSEMA's expectations of industry to improve oil spill response
Article published in the Regulator | Issue 3: 2018
Offshore petroleum exploration and production operations often consist of inherently high-risk activities with potentially catastrophic consequences for the workforce and environment in the very unlikely event of a loss of containment incident. It is therefore imperative that the regulatory regime requires that activities are appropriately managed to reduce risks to the health and safety of the workforce and environment to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP).
To demonstrate that an activity’s risks to the environment will be reduced to ALARP, a titleholder must provide reasoned and supported arguments in their environment plan that shows no other practical measures could reasonably be taken to reduce the activity’s environmental risks unless they entail a grossly disproportionate impost in comparison to the reduction in risk. It is NOPSEMA’s view, based on observations during plan assessments, petroleum environment inspections and ongoing monitoring of changes in technology and innovation, that many titleholders can improve their oil spill response arrangements and/or strengthen their ALARP position.
When it comes to oil spill response, titleholders should focus firstly on stopping the flow of the oil (e.g. killing the well), while controlling the source of the spill (e.g. capping and/or containment of the well), before recovering and/or treating the oil (e.g. using dispersant). This prioritisation is supported by the fact that beyond stopping the flow of oil, the greatest environmental benefit from response actions is achieved through the direct recovery and treatment of the spilled oil at its source.
Historical oil spills provide some information on the prioritisation of different response actions and their varying contribution to reducing environmental impacts. Information from the Deepwater Horizon blowout shows the contribution of response actions to minimise consequences of escaping oil decreased the further away those actions got from the source of the spill, for example, direct oil recovery from the wellhead accounted for 17% of spilled oil, chemical dispersion 16%, burning 5% and skimming 3%.
Mitigation measures further from the source of the oil spill cannot, of course, be ignored. While these measures (e.g. shoreline clean-up) are often more remedial in nature they can serve to reasonably reduce the extent and duration of an oil spill’s environmental consequences. Measures must be taken, where feasible, to prevent sensitive receptors (e.g. marine parks and wildlife) from being affected from an oil spill. These situations are often in state waters and as such titleholders should ensure their arrangements can be implemented in partnership with the relevant state authorities.
Continual improvement is central tenet of the objective-based offshore petroleum regulatory regime. This means that titleholders are required to regularly examine their arrangements to identify and implement possible improvements, such as the adoption of emerging technologies and/or meeting the increasing expectations of the community. From its unique position as regulator, it is evident to NOPSEMA that while small improvements are possible at a titleholder-by-titleholder level, substantive improvement requires industry-wide or collective action. Given the rarity, but potential catastrophic consequences, of a major oil spill, it is NOPSEMA’s view that industry should seek to adopt more cooperative arrangements for oil spill response. NOPSEMA sees no significant legislative barriers prohibiting such arrangements provided legislative duties (e.g. financial assurance or ‘polluter pays’) are met. In fact, NOPSEMA recognises that such arrangements may allow improved mitigation measures to be adopted that would otherwise be out of reach for a single titleholder. Over the medium to longer term, NOPSEMA expects titleholders to evaluate additional, alternate and improved cooperative oil spill response arrangements to further reduce environmental risks and strengthen their ALARP position.
It is important that this evaluation reflects the environmental benefits of such arrangements (e.g. mitigating environmental consequences) and fairly represents the impost (cost among other factors) associated with the approach of sharing the arrangements across multiple activities and titleholders. Since 2017, NOPSEMA has been working with titleholders through its Spill Risk Cooperative Forum to assist understanding and promote awareness of continual improvement opportunities in oil spill response. Oil spill focal points within titleholder companies are encouraged to contact NOPSEMA at [email protected] for more information.
The timeliness of a titleholder’s response is critical as even small reductions in the commencement of response strategies can prevent the discharge or recovery of thousands of cubic metres of oil. At times, titleholders downplay the significance of small improvements in timeliness by referring to the total volume of spilled oil. NOPSEMA discourages this approach as even a small amount of spilled oil is of great concern to the regulator and the Australian community. The adoption of enhanced cooperative oil spill response arrangements offers increased scope to improve the timeliness of response actions through improved access to and mobilisation of equipment and resources.
Regardless of the approach the industry chooses to adopt to achieve continual improvement in oil spill response, it is imperative that the decisions made are evidence-based so they may stand up to regulatory scrutiny and address community expectations. Titleholders are strongly discouraged from trying to find new ways to justify their existing capability in their ALARP demonstrations. Rather, it is more productive and reflective of a responsible industry, to objectively examine their arguments to demonstrate ALARP alongside the oil spill arrangements that are already in place to ensure their capability to respond to a major oil spill appropriately matches to the identified environmental risks and impacts.
Titleholders may wish to refer to NOPSEMA's Oil pollution risk management guidance note for more information on good practice approaches to spill risk evaluation, response planning and preparedness. To read the guidance note visit nopsema.gov.au/environmental-management/oil-pollution-risks

(Reuters) - U.S. companies are cutting their dividends less than investors anticipated, providing a potential boost to a stock market rally that has clashed with concerns over a recent surge in coronavirus infections.
S&P 500 companies are likely to see an aggregate 2% decline in 2020 dividend payments, compared with analyst projections earlier this year of around 10%, according to S&P Dow Jones.
That’s good news for income-seeking investors at a time when a series of rapid interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve has taken U.S. Treasury yields to near zero, sending market participants further afield in search of steady payouts.
“We saw a devastating amount of dividend cuts, but the second half of the year does look a bit better,” S&P Dow Jones analyst Howard Silverblatt said.
U.S. financial markets are closed on Friday for the July 4th holiday. On Monday, data firm IHS Markit reports its surveys of U.S. business activity, while Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc WBA.O reports quarterly results on Thursday and U.S. initial jobless claims are also due out that day.
S&P 500 companies slashed or suspended over $40 billion in dividends in the second quarter, the deepest quarterly drop since 2009, according to S&P Dow Jones. The cuts tapered off in the latter part of the quarter as the U.S. economy began to rebound, fueled by Fed stimulus and easing lockdowns across the nation. (Graphic: S&P 500 annual indicated dividend rate - )
“The hope is that we have turned a corner, but that is going to depend on the reopening of the economy,” Silverblatt said.
The fall in Treasury yields to historic lows has raised the allure of stock dividends, which are generally paid four times a year.
The gap between the S&P 500 dividend yield and the 10-year Treasury US10YT=RR yield in March hit a high not seen since at least the 1970s, according to Datastream data, which does not go back further. Currently, the S&P 500's dividend is nearly 2%, compared with the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury's 0.67% yield.

Jake Dollarhide, chief executive of Longbow Asset Management in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has been buying shares of dividend-paying companies that have also been outperforming in the epidemic, including Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N, Campbell Soup CPB.N, General Mills GIS.N, and retailers Costco Wholesale Corp COST.O and Walmart WMT.N.
Johnson & Johnson, which is among companies rushing to develop a coronavirus vaccine, raised its dividend in April. In June, Kroger KR.N and Target TGT.N, which have been seeing more business with people staying at home, TGT.N upped their dividends.
“I have plenty of older clients who only want dividend stocks,” Dollarhide said. “There are plenty of COVID-19 dividend plays,” he added.
With California, Texas and many other states reporting record increases in new cases of COVID-19, the pandemic’s trajectory remains the main source of uncertainty of whether more companies will suspend or cut their dividends.
Over 40% of the United States has now reversed or placed reopenings on hold, analysts at Goldman Sachs said in a recent note.
Adding to uncertainty about future dividends, the Fed last week capped big-bank dividend payments and barred share repurchases until at least the fourth quarter after finding lenders faced significant capital losses when tested against an economic slump caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Wells Fargo WFC.N shares have fallen about 1% since late Monday after the bank warned it would reduce its dividend as a result of the Fed's annual bank stress tests.
Still, only three S&P 500 companies decreased or suspended their dividend payments in June, while six companies upped their dividends, according to S&P Dow Jones.

Buckinghamshire’s Domesday village of Cuddington, once famed for its medicinal spring, is better known now as the domicile of the Dimbleby dynasty or as the backdrop for Midsomer Murders’ DCI John Barnaby. It also has a babbling brook, whose charms are fully availed of at Cuddington Mill, where it’s bridged by a new extension to the millhouse. IQ Glass helped create a bold double glazed, double height space connecting old and new. Troubled waters? Only on TV, dear.

Helping Students Find a Church When They Leave Home
Helping Students Find a Church When They Leave Home
A few weeks ago I served for the last time at Grace Fellowship Church, the church I found as a high school senior looking for churches near Loyola University in Baltimore. My belonging to a church for six years culminated in a tearful prayer send-off with fellow children’s volunteers and staff. Being an active part of a local church is what made Baltimore feel like home and motivated me to stay for grad school. A new job in Washington D.C. required me to close the chapter at Grace, but the roots had grown deep in this first church I found, attended, and served as an adult.
As your students go through their college search, I encourage you to make helping them find a church a vital part of the process. Finding a local church is just as important if not more important than finding a college to attend. Ideally, students should look at some churches for every college they seriously consider. If they have not found a potential church, I would say the college search is not complete—no matter how much they may like a given school. College is a mere four years of a student’s life, but following Christ is a life-long commitment.
Here are six aspects of helping students find a local church, which are evident in my own story:
- Pursuing More Than Campus Ministry
- Locating Possible Churches
- Attending Together
- Planning Ahead for Transportation
- Encouraging Involvement
- Empowering and Sending
PursueMore Than Campus Ministry
A few weeks after I was accepted to Loyola as a high school senior, my youth pastor and I talked over hazelnut macchiatos at Starbucks. The more we talked, the more excited I became to attend college, find a church, and learn to love a new place. We discussed how even if I were to attend a university with a strong campus ministry, there is value in being planted in a local church outside the confines of campus.
While gathering on a college campus is often convenient and can foster community, nearly all campus ministry participants will be of similar age. A Timothy and Paul relationship cannot happen if both people are the exact same age, live in the same dorm, go to the same college, etc. Surrounding yourself with those who are older and wiser is a healthy spiritual practice. In a similar way, worshiping with people younger than you provides opportunities to model faith for others.
Locate Possible Churches
I began using a search engine that allowed me to enter my starting address, the mileage radius I was willing to travel and a few other outputs. After churches came up in the search I would go to the church website to look at their doctrine and theological statements, and ministries. I wanted to know that a given church preached and practiced the gospel—the Good News that God rescues sinners through the life, death, and resurrection of Christ.
Many colleges and universities have strong campus ministries (InterVarsity, Reformed University Fellowship, etc.) that can direct students to local churches. You can encourage students to contact the chaplain’s office or the local chapter of a campus ministry to find out where otherson campus attend church. Then urge students to visit church websites to look at their statements of faith.
As I perused Grace’s website I grew more and more interested. I knew I was going to attend an upcoming Admitted Students Day in March of my senior year, so my parents and I began planning to visit churches during the same weekend. Logistically, many churches have at least two services on a Sunday morning. We decided we would visit two of Grace’s sites at different services–but students and their parents could just as easily visit two different churches on a given Sunday. Regardless of whether you are present with your student when she finds the church she’ll commit to, visiting at least one church together can be a helpful exercise.
My parents empowered me to have agency in deciding where to go to college and to church. But as the worship service concluded at Grace Fellowship, my dad turned to me and said, “This is it.” In that moment my dad was both affirming and confirming what I already felt throughout the service. However, my dad did not go on to tell me all the reasons why he thought Grace would be a good fit for me. Instead, he asked me if I agreed with him and why. Learning to evaluate churches with Scripture as my reference point was a critical step in maturing as a Christian.
If you are especially close to your daughter or son and know that your word carries weight, then carefully and prayerfully decide how you will speak about the church search. Encourage your student to assess and articulate his or her own reasons for choosing a particular church. Meanwhile, be transparent with your own story. Hearing about how you wish you had walked with Jesus more closely in college can be motivating for a student to prioritize walking with the Lord.
Plan Aheadfor Transportation
Initially, I wasn’t sure how I would get to Grace on Sundays. Loyola doesn’t allow freshmen to have cars on campus, and Baltimore lacks a robust transit system. My parents encouraged me that if it was where God wanted me to be, the details would come together. A couple weeks later I got an email from avolunteer we met saying that a student at the College of Notre Dame was willing to give me a ride to church. Notre Dame is so close to Loyola that we share a library—and this student who went to Grace parked her car about 200 feet from my freshman dorm. God completely provided a ride the year I needed it.
Churches are often willing to help coordinate transportation for college students with some advance notice, so encourage your student to get in touch. Some schools may provide transportation via a campus vehicle or students involved in campus ministry. In other cases, public transportation might make it relatively simple. If getting to church is not easy, however, even the intentionality and planning could yield a host of benefits as students grow in the Lord. Helping students work through some of these details ahead of time can reduce anxiety they may feel in starting over somewhere new.
Students will likely be busy with classes and extracurricular clubs; they may not have an income. Still, it’s important to encourage them to not just attend church but give to the church both in time and in resources. College is busy, but life only gets busier following graduation. The sooner a student can learn to prioritize his or her commitment to God and to His people, the better. Tithing and serving are two ways to encourage college students to invest in the life of the local church.
We all have different, yet complementary roles to serve in the body (1 Corinthians 12:12, 15-27). Serving as a college student provided the opportunity to fulfill my role in the body of Christ. I found it important to give of myself and my time in children’s ministry, but serving is not singular or linear. It takes prayer and discernment to figure out where to serve, another area in which parents and youth workers can provide coaching.
Empower and Send
When I studied abroad 8,000 miles away during my junior year in Cape Town, South Africa I once again prioritized finding a church, which allowed me to acclimate more quickly to a new culture. Even more recently, these experiences from college have framed my approach to finding a new body of believers in Washington D.C. Learning how to find a church and making it a priority to do so will shape my experience in every place I am fortunate enough to call home.
Empowering students to find a local church when they leave home has lasting ramifications. As your students prepare to transition to a new chapter, it is important to remind them of the significance of this moment. Encourage them that their young adult years have the potential to create lasting impact.
Remind your students that while they have a lot to learn, they should not use their age as an excuse. Admonish them with the words Paul used to encourage Timothy in 1 Timothy 4:12: “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”
The local church needs your students, and your students need the local church. May they know that age does not disqualify them from loving God’s people wherever they are.

The school year has almost begun, and lot of students of all ages are starting to study hard. If you have kids, you definitely need to organize your kids’ study space to make studying easier and inspire your kids to learn. A special study space can make homework more fun and help motivate your child to get it done! Choose a space in your house that’s least likely to distract your child and organize it the best way possible.
Add Bold Accents And Touches
It’s a kids’ space, remember? Don’t be afraid to make the study space bright, bold and cool to make the space attractive for your kid. Colorful buntings, desk accessories, lamps and other stuff will make this study space more interesting for your kids and they will study with pleasure.
De-clutter The Space
A desk and chair that are clean in design will grow with your child. Add a throw pillow or a cushion to the chair for extra support, comfort, or height. Make room on the desktop for the basics, which should include an adjustable lamp. A neat work area will help him be more efficient. Tidy up desktop dust-collectors in jars. To unclutter the nook you can hide everything in hidden drawers or cabinets above the desk.
Organize In The Best Way Possible
Use all the organizers and holders you can get: various baskets, drawers, jars and cubbies to make the study space more neat and to teach your child to be tidy. It will also save the space, which is important if it’s a small nook or a shared space for several kids.
Calendars And Boards
Teach your child to manage homework and project deadlines by hanging a personalized calendar above his desk. Various pinboards and chalkboards will help to make notes and write something important when he or she remembers that.

Scenario: We are trying to architect a web application suite such that multiple EARs can support single sign-on on WebSphere 6. We are trying to piece together security technologies WebSphere provides in a sensible manner.
* Custom JAAS Module for authentication.
* LTPA tokens dropped into cookies for single-sign on.
* Custom User Repository that resides in a database.
* Custom callback mechanism because we require more than username/password for authentication.
* When using LTPA tokens and SSO, WebSphere seems to require a _single_ user repository. We want to have a private repository for the suite, but do not wish to store users that can access the admin console, etc. Is there a way to do this? Can two groups of applications perform SSO, each with their own user repository?
* If we try to "hide" the user repository in the JAAS module, we end up not being able to generate the LTPA tokens. According to the documentation LTPA tokens can only be generated and be translated back when attached to a user repository.
* If we use a custom JAAS module, there seems to be no easy way to generate SSO tokens without implementing a bunch of token interfaces. Are there WebSphere JAAS modules that can be configured to work in tandem with our custom module?
* LTPA tokens seem to be closely associated with SOAP requests. Given that we have a simple web application suite, are we on the wrong track with the LTPA approach?
Any comments, opinions, examples and pointers to documentation/articles are much appreciated. We have already looked at the vast IBM library. (Unfortunately, they explain each technology in great detail, but leave you in the dark as to which pieces go together.)

The challenge with creativity is that it can be hard to pin down. On one hand, this is what makes it so difficult to teach. On the other, it’s what it makes it so amazing when it all comes together. The key is really about finding the correct oscillation between extremes. Luc de Brabandere, a BCG Fellow, in his book The Forgotten Half of Change explores this space in a nice way with his Ten Paradoxes of Creativity.
1. Encouraging divergence while ensuring convergence.
2. When it comes to being inventive, vast multidisciplinary knowledge is a plus. So is the total absence of knowledge.
3. There is more in two heads than one, and more in three heads than in two. But, at some point, the effect is reversed. A crowd doesn’t invent anything.
4. To create, comfort is essential. So is the lack of comfort.
5. A computer will be programmed better to the extent that its user manages to deprogram himself or himself.
6. Creativity is freed in people who manage to switch off their critical faculty. Yet, creative people have a highly developed critical faculty.
7. Human creativity can help us build a future, but people are never so creative as when ti comes to destroying things.
8. An absence of creativity may lead a company to a catastrophe. An excess of creativity may bring it to disaster.
9. We want creativity. We fear it too.
10. Creativity is as old as the world itself, yet is the essential tool for bringing a new world into existence.

Behavioural systems (attachment, care giving, exploration, sex & power): using imagery & compassion to fine tune them
Last updated on 17th March 2012
A week ago I wrote a post "Behavioural systems (attachment, care giving, exploration, sex & power): hyperactivated, hypoactivated or just about right?" where I talked about Shaver & Mikulincer's model of five behavioural systems - care seeking, care giving, exploration, sex & power - which ideally fire up appropriately when the external or internal environment throws up a challenge. The selected system then leads to a successful response and can shut down again. Unfortunately many of us have learning histories that mean, when we bring some of these behavioural systems on line, we tend to either hyper- or hypo-activate them. For care giving, hyperactivation can produce a "smothering" style and hypoactivation may be involved in burnout, lack of empathy & cold-heartedness. With exploration, hyperactivation can be associated with excessive restlessness & dissatisfaction, while hypoactivation may involve dullness & lack of curiosity. Sexually, hyperactivation is linked to sex addiction in its various forms and hypoactivation to lack of libido & sexual dysfunctions. Power hyperactivation is oppressive of others and hypoactivation is oppressive of oneself with lack of assertiveness & inability to take a stand. Far and away the most researched areas of hyper- and hypo-activation are with the care seeking, attachment system, with hyperactivation involving an anxious (hyperalert, distress amplifying) style, and hypoactivation involving an avoidant/dismissive (excessively self-reliant, emotionally distancing) style.
From age 8 to 17, I went to single-sex boys' boarding schools. Back then, these were often not particularly kind environments. It made good sense to develop a partly "avoidant" attachment style that helped me be more self-reliant and less dependent on others when the going got tough. At medical school and as a young doctor, a similar pattern served me pretty well. I still slip into it in certain situations. I can catch myself "bragging" a bit, self-enhancing to help me get through. Maybe I shouldn't squirm hearing myself do this. Maybe it would be more useful to have self-compassion towards that quite isolated part of me that needed to survive without a lot of help. Possibly because I see this tendency to occasionally move into protective self-enhancement in myself, I find that I seem to notice it in others too. I then tend to "judge" their boasting, while it might be more helpful to "boost" their sense of security with appreciation and kindness - although boasting can, at times, be more about power or sexual systems rather than about insecure attachment. Probably what I find most upsetting about my tendency to occasionally puff up & protectively self-enhance is that it can get in the way of how I want to be in the world - it can sabotage empathy, authenticity & open-heartedess.
Happily there are creative responses we can use when we find attachment insecurity pushing us off course. For example, because I've taken a rather unusual professional path for a doctor, I can at times feel a bit of an odd one out at medical meetings. Then, as at school, it's quite easy for me to play a tune or two from the "aren't I a fine fellow" syndrome. Especially if I'm the lecturer, this really isn't likely to be helpful. I've got several lovely medical friends - dear people with good hearts and good minds. What I've done in the past is imagine that - in a large audience of doctors - some are my friends (or at least there are people in the audience who are very similar to the medical friends who I care about and respect). It's a useful imagery "trick" that promotes "secure attachment" with all the subsequent spin-off benefits of increased authenticity, empathy & warmth. I can get on with speaking about what's important and what I want to share with the audience in ways that make it much more likely that I'll be heard and that what I say will actually make a difference.
There's plenty of research demonstrating the value of imagery and other methods to increase a sense of attachment security. In their 2007 paper "Boosting attachment security to promote mental health, prosocial values, and inter-group tolerance", Mario Mikulincer & Phil Shaver write "We conceptualize the sense of attachment security as an inner resource and present theory and research on the broaden and build cycle of attachment security generated by the actual or symbolic encounter with external or internalized loving and caring relationship partners. We also propose that the body of research stimulated by attachment theory offers productive hints about interventions that might increase positive experiences and prosocial behavior by bolstering a person's sense of security. On this basis, we review recent experimental studies showing how interventions designed to increase attachment security have beneficial effects on mental health, prosocial behavior, and intergroup relations, and discuss unaddressed issues concerning the mechanism underlying the beneficial effects of these interventions, the temporal course of these effects, and their interaction with countervailing forces."
And in a 2008 publication - "Moving Toward a Secure Attachment Style: Can Repeated Security Priming Help?" - the authors wrote "Several methods have been used to create short-term changes in people's sense of security in the laboratory. These methods involve: (a) exposing people (subliminally or supraliminally) to security-related words (e.g., love, hug, affection, and support) or the names of an individual's security-providing attachment figures; (b) exposing people (subliminally or supraliminally) to pictures representing attachment security; and (c) asking participants to recall memories of being loved and supported by attachment figures, or asking people to imagine such scenarios. These priming procedures have been shown to influence such diverse variables as mood, attitudes toward novel stimuli, reactions to out-group members, death anxiety, aggression, and compassion and altruism ... The idea behind both subliminal and supraliminal priming manipulations is that stimuli associated with a sense of security enter a semantic network and create a process of ‘spreading activation' that touches upon affective as well as semantic ‘nodes', thereby creating a sense of security similar to that which might be evoked by supportive attachment figures." And in commenting on how long such effects might last, they pointed out "In addition to the nature of a prime, repeating its presentation seems to affect the duration of its effects. Brown, Jones, and Mitchell (1996), for example, found that as the number of exposures to the prime (repetitions) increased, the effects of the prime were stronger and longer lasting. Similarly, Salasoo, Shiffrin, and Feustel (1985) found that accuracy of identification a year after priming was affected by number of repetitions of the prime stimuli. In line with the above mentioned findings, we suggest that security primes are likely to result in long-term effects, especially when people are repeatedly exposed to such primes. Based on Bowlby's (1973) conceptualization that repeated interactions with an attachment figure not only alter attachment-system functioning in the short term but also affect consolidation of working models in the long term, we would expect repeated security priming to have long-lasting effects on people's attitudes and behaviors."
These observations can lead to a cascade of fascinating therapeutic interventions aimed at building attachment security through regular exposure to "primes" that might involve words (like compassion, care, love, warmth, understanding, supporting), prayers & meditations (loving kindness practices, intercessory prayers, Bible verses, Buddhist phrases) images (religious/spiritual figures, personal loved ones) memories (of love & support for self or others), symbols that one wears or arranges to see regularly (reminders of compassion - cultural like crosses, Buddhas, etc - and personal), music & song, internal feeling, and so on. So many possibilities. See for example many of the blog posts on this website - "4 studies on prayer and their implications for compassion, loving-kindness & goodwill meditation practices", "Embodied cognition: posture & feelings" & "Embodied cognition: what to do", "Life skills for stress, health & wellbeing: goodwill practice", "Barbara Fredrickson's recent research on loving-kindness meditation", and "Therapeutic use of film, music & poetry".
For more on these ideas, see the post "Boosting self-compassion & self-encouragement by strengthening attachment security: twelve practical suggestions".

McCain: ‘Have To’ Reduce F-35 Total Buy
By Aaron Mehta and Joe Gould
WASHINGTON — The powerful chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, John McCain, R-Ariz., said Tuesday the US will have to cut the numbers of F-35 fighter jets it will purchase.
In a brief comment to reporters, McCain seemed to signal that the total projected buy for the Pentagon’s most costly and ambitious program — 2,443 in total, spread across three models for the Air Force, Marines and Navy — is out of whack with budget realities. He said that cost growth in the program will mean fewer jets overall.
“We’re going to have to reduce the buy,” he said. “The number they are now quoting — there’s just not going to be that many.”
McCain, a longtime critic of the F-35, is known for hitting the program for a series of cost overruns and delays. But calling for a formal reduction in the Pentagon’s buy of the jets has been a touchy subject in the Defense Department.
For years, the Pentagon and backers in Congress have fiercely guarded the 2,443 figure for the F-35, quickly shooting down talk that the number could be reduced.
That seemed to change earlier this year, when Gen. Joseph Dunford, now the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, wrote in testimony that the Pentagon is “presently taking the newest strategic foundation and analyzing whether 2,443 aircraft is the correct number.”
That was followed by similar written comments from Adm. John Richardson, who, during his hearing to be named Chief Naval Officer, wrote that he would work to “re-validate the appropriate number of aircraft the Navy requires.”
The Pentagon has since denied that there is a major review of the F-35 buy underway – but acknowledged that, with budget uncertainty, all programs may be up for review.
Combined, the comments seem to have opened the door for a discussion – one that McCain, a critic of the F-35 program, appears eager to open wider.
It’s bad timing for the program, which, after a relatively quiet year of success, has hit speed bumps in the last month. In September, Defense News revealed that concerns over ejection safety have forced the Pentagon to ground any F-35 pilots under 138 pounds from flying the jet.
Then, on Monday, elections in Canada handed power to Justin Trudeau, who has said that he plans to abandon the F-35 program in favor of a cheaper alternative. Canada had planned to buy 65 jets under the Conservative government of incumbent Prime Minister Stephen Harper, although that buy has been paused since 2010.
If Trudeau follows through on his plans, Canada would become the first nation to turn down the F-35 in competition. It could also become the first industrial partner to withdraw from the program, which local companies have said could cost CAN$11 billion (US$8 billion) in work over the life of the jet.
Officials from the program have emphasized the need to keep quantities of the jet rising in order to cause per-jet costs to drop.Back to Top

Rahim Ali Bakhshi says: The authorities have forgotten that we are suffering the pains resulted from chemical weapons and they are looking for the documents of war. During the war no one was thinking about the documents that might be required later. No one knew that the effects of chemical weapons might appear on the body after 20 years. So they were not trying to get the documents relevant to the military operations… During the war all the fighters would try to stay in the battlefields more and to fight with the enemy.
We were in a group. We knew each other's ID card information. For example, I knew Mr. Zakeri's ID card and we could identify each other if needed. We were completely ready for martyrdom and had no fear from war.
The most important memory of the Fakkeh magazine related to primary Valfajr Operation. The operation in which Reza Cheraghi, the commander of Mohammad Rasoul Allah(SA) battalion martyred in the operation.

A new user of mac may need to know how to print black and white on Mac. The process does not require one to have a software to achieve it. Majority of the printers used with Mac usually support black and white printing. Printing out documents in black and white ensures that the clarity of the data or information is visible enough, and the amount of ink is used in the process is less.
The method of printing in black and white in Mac is straightforward if you know how to print black and white on Mac. The process to do this in some cases is usually hidden in the printer. It entirely depends on the drivers of the printed in the mac, and also the configuration. The printer used highly determines how the process of printing in black and white would be done. Some printers cannot support black and white printouts.
Procedure on how to print black and white on Mac
Some design of printers is manufactured to ensure that the process of printing in black and white is simple. In the printing interface, it would prompt you to either print in black and white, or not. For other devices, you’ll need this procedure to ensure to show you how to print in black and white on a Mac.
- From the particular document you’ll want to print, you will have to go to the file menu and select the option to print.
- On the particular print screen, then you can select the “Show details” prompt to give more information on the variety of choices you have to print the document.
- Here you may have two options depending on the printer, either select between black or choose the checkbox for the print in black and white.
- Select the paper quality from the drop-down menu where you would select the type of the paper to be used.
- On the “color option” command prompt, select black and white from the options.
- A user can opt to use the “Black ink only” command that would command the printer to print the document to print only in black and white.
- After the process now the setup for printing the document is ready and you can select the “Print” button to execute the command.
In some printers, they usually lack the black and white or greyscale in the “Color only” command and instead have Black cartridge only. These languages may differ depending on the kind of printers in the market or the OS version in the Mac computer.
What can one do if the printer lacks the black and white option?
In the process of printing black and white on Mac, a user can incidentally lack the option to print in black and white. In some cases, the printer may be supporting black and white, but it fails. Troubleshooting would be the best option to ensure that one gets the particular problem. It would mean that the Mac user would have to reset the printer settings or to update the drivers.
These processes can be accessed in the system preferences to either delete and update the drivers or update it. Resetting the printer would remove it from the system, and you will have to add back if the printer does not eventually, you may consider contacting the printer agent to check it out.

As the largest demographic, you would think politicians would exploit us.
Advertisers target us because they know we’ll purchase their products, and we do.
However, politicians don’t spend a dime on us, probably because young people simply don’t vote.
Last week, former MTV journalist Gideon Yago gave the fall Robison Lecture, and even he admitted to writing in Ken Griffey Jr.’s name on his ballot in 1996, the first time he voted, because he didn’t think his vote counted.
He was wrong.
People tend to forget there are important things to vote for other than president.
Look at any ballot in any state this year and you’ll see more than just presidential candidates. You can vote for senators, representatives, county board members and referendums. Each and every choice on your ballot is important.
To say or think your vote doesn’t count is irresponsible. Ask any local politician and we guarantee he or she will be able to tell you about an election in which the winner only won by a handful of votes.
Maybe Sen. Barack Obama or Sen. John McCain won’t need your individual vote to win the presidency, but your hometown mayor might.
And when it comes down to it, local politics have a much more immediate effect on your life.
Think about it.
Local school boards approved the curriculum in school districts where you were educated. Library boards approve budgets that allow local libraries to purchase books that you borrow. County board members vote the amount of sales tax people will pay for everything we buy.
And while the state and federal governments have a say in those things as well, the president of your local school board is probably going to take your phone call. The governor is not.
When most people head into the voting booth, they never even consider just how large of an influence they have on the world around them.
We’re not saying voting for president isn’t incredibly important, we’re just saying there’s so much more to your vote than most people think.
Do you know who represents you in the state legislature? You should. Most students are paid minimum wage, and the state legislature sets the level of that wage.
The representatives we vote for in this November will have a say in how much money the government gives us for grants and loans. That’s going to affect almost everyone reading this.
As young people, we are the ones who have the most at stake in this election because we will be the ones living with the decisions made for the longest amount of time.
So when you head into the voting booth on Tuesday, or even when you head into the voting booth for any other election, be aware that you have an influence.
After this election ends, politics still continue. They will remain important in your city and your school, so keep voting and keep being involved.

Being a (half-white American, non-fluent-in-Korean) foreigner in Korea has its pros and cons. Here are some observations from the past 6 months:
– Getting stared at. When I walk down the street, I can’t tell if people are looking at me because they think I look cool in my sunglasses or because they notice my non-Korean-looking face. I suspect it’s usually the latter.
– Not being able to read labels. Took a cold shower my first day here because I didn’t know how to turn on the hot water heater, and I still have no idea what most of the settings on my washing machine mean. (But let’s be honest, I’d probably have about as much trouble with that in the US.)
– Taxi drivers sometimes taking advantage of you by taking a longer route than necessary.
– Difficulty in communicating with maintenance people. I could have sworn that the woman who came to check the gas in my apartment the other day said, “There is a problem,” but she left without saying much else. The sticker she put near the gas valve says “safe”-something so it’s probably fine, right?
– Having the ability to make people smile just by whipping out a few Korean phrases and bowing. (This is especially true of older people, like the vendors at the market.) The other day, an older Korean man on the subway started in surprise when he turned and realized that the girl next to him who had just answered his mumbled question “Where are we?” was a foreigner. I had literally said two words: the name of the stop and “yes,” but he was completely taken aback and asked, “How did you say that so well?” with a grin on his face.
– Cars stopping for you more often when you cross the street (some would say).
– Being shown a lot of grace and understanding about your ignorance of Korean manners and being told your Korean is “very good” when it really isn’t great. (People who look Korean are held to a much different standard.)
– People automatically thinking you are interesting because you are a foreigner. And doubly so when they find out your mother is Korean.
– People occasionally going out of their way to help you when you look clueless.
Overall: Easier Than Expected
I have managed to find skim milk, my favorite Neutrogena hand cream, plain oatmeal, and even the Ricola drops I crave when I have a sore throat. And access American TV. All things I expected to go without!
But now that I’ve decided to live here long-term, I’m really hoping a few more things (namely, Baked Lays, whole grain bread, and froyo) catch on over here soon!!

Indian Stream Health Center offers extended office hours and same day appointments
As part of its continuing mission to provide health care services to North Country residents and visitors, Indian Stream Health Center (ISHC) has unveiled a two-phase approach to expand access. Effective immediately, the Center has expanded hours in both its
Colebrook, NH and Canaan, VT locations and is offering same day appointments. “The community need is certainly there,” said
Jonathan Brown, CEO of Indian Stream Health Center. “The need for health care services is not confined to the ‘9-5’ business day so we felt it was important to extend our hours to support busy individuals and families. We’re also pleased to provide the option of
same day appointments - even for those new to our practices.”
The new office hours are as follows:
COLEBROOK, NH LOCATION:
Monday - Friday: 7:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m.
Saturday: 8:00 a.m. – 12:00p.m.
CANAAN, VT LOCATION:
Monday – Thursday: 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Indian Stream Health Center Bolsters Clinical Team
To continue to meet local health care needs and expand access, Indian Steam Health Center (ISHC) is pleased to announce three
additions to its clinical team. They are: Mackenzie Dufour-Physician Assistant (PA), Linne Humbargar–Physician Assistant (PA) and
Yoomi Lee, Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN). “We’re excited to bring Mackenzie, Linne and Yoomi on board,” said Peter Moran, MD, Medical Director at ISHC. “Each brings solid experience and skills and will add important depth to our team.” Dr. Moran
went on to explain that physician assistants and advanced registered nurses work in partnership with ISHC physicians to provide a wide range of high quality medical services and care for patients of the practice.

Food Network star Guy Fieri is bringing his blend of lights-out deliciousness to Disney Springs. The restaurant is named Chicken Guy!—with the exclamation point for added Fieri-ness—and is slated to open in August. It’s a collaboration between Fieri and restaurateur Robert Earl—the duo’s second Disney Springs restaurant, after the Planet Hollywood Observatory.
If you’re headed to see the Mouse this fall, be sure to check it out (along with these Taste of Home picks for the best food at Disney).
What’s on the Menu?
In true Fieri form, the vibe at the fast-casual style Chicken Guy! promises to be funkalicious, with a wide-ranging menu to satisfy picky children and their park-exhausted parents.
True to the name, chicken takes center stage at this joint—specifically, chicken tenders, served up “hand-pounded to maximize crunch.” The chicken is also brined in lemon, pickle juice and buttermilk, and infused with herbs, according to the Disney Food Blog. The tenders can be ordered fried or grilled, and served as a sandwich, on a skewer or atop a salad.
You have 20 different sauces to choose from—and if Donkey Sauce turns out to be one of them, righteous! (We’ve got our fingers crossed.) In a press release issued by Disney World, Fieri said, “It’s all about the real deal, all-natural chicken but lemme tell you, our sauce game is on point.”
Dude, we’re holding you to that!
A Festival of Funk
For anyone who loves the magic that is Disney, you can go all out with a long list of over-the-top Chicken Guy! treats. It’s the comfort food you crave, like Guy Fieri’s Mac Daddy Mac and Cheese, plus unexpected twists like the Cinnamon Apple. That’s vanilla soft serve topped with Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Apple Jacks cereal! Fairly certain we’ll be needing a copycat recipe for that ASAP, to go along with our best Disney copycats!
Sides include fried pickles (yes, please) and freshly-made slaw. Oh, and the festival of funk continues with another dessert—you knew there wasn’t just one to choose from—the Triple Double Ice Cream Treat. Think chocolate and mint, and lots of everything.
With plenty of dining space both indoors and out, Chicken Guy! also promises to deliver grab and go packaging, should guests prefer to enjoy their bomb-dot-com tasty food while park hopping. You know, in search of that secret cinnamon roll burger we’ve been hearing about.

Hiya, folks! Today marks a year since I started this blog 😀 (incidentally, this post is also my 100th, another milestone!).
So, of course, Mr. ACD and I shared a cupcake to celebrate last night (and then bought a second one for good measure, because we also need to celebrate tonight, the day of!)
It’s been a wonderful year full of learning. Thank you for all the love & support! I’ve learnt a lot through the course of this year — regarding blogging, photography & editing, nail art, crafts, and so much more — and I know I’m only just starting out. I have grown from that person who would want to post about something only to realize she had forgotten to take any pictures, to someone who now documents everything “just in case I need another idea for a post“. While I have only been posting nail art for the past couple of months due to a lack of free time, I continue to think of this as a more versatile blog and will resume my weekly recipe/craft posts soon, I promise. This is my biggest outlet for all the days of dissertation-writing, so your support means the world. Here’s hoping we see many more of these blog-birthdays! Love you & thank you from the bottom of my heart!

When I was still at university the fourth-generation programming languages were all the hype, prompting us to make jokes along the lines “fifth generation will implement do what I don’t know how”
NetComplete automatically autocompletes configurations for routers running multiple interacting protocols, including policy-based protocols (BGP) and shortest-path protocols (OSPF), and it also supports static routes. NetComplete takes as input configurations with “holes” that identify the parameters to be completed and “autocompletes” these with concrete values.
Sounds like magic? Laurent shared some of the implementation details in Episode 103 of Software Gone Wild, and you’ll find even more information on their web site. Want to figure out how it all works? Download the tool and start exploring.

The production value of video games has multiplied substantially over the past decade. It is now a common feature to see games that have cost over a hundred million dollars to create. This is mostly because of the scale on which games are created these days. Open-world games have steadily become more intrinsic and in-depth, allowing players to spend hours navigating their way through maps that encompass several hundred miles. Here is a list of some seriously large open world games that have managed to create thoroughly believable civilizations that spawn across impressive distances.
The ‘Dragon Age’ series has become steadily bigger and better with each passing installment. ‘Inquisition’ is the third and latest fraction of the franchise and is undoubtedly the biggest one so far. The world is rich and filled with numerous interesting characters, while working towards building one cohesive storyline that ties everyone’s interests together. The dragons themselves look absolutely fierce and are a real force to be reckoned with in the game.
‘World of Warcraft’ continues to be one of the biggest names in the gaming world, with the series already having roped in well over 12 billion dollars in revenue. The series is so successful around the world because of its meticulously crafted massive open-world, that allows players to experience a unique sense of freedom while taking on any quest. Even the character creation, customization and upgrading process is well planned, making the game one massive investment in terms of time.
When ‘Just Cause’ was released in 2006, it managed to grab everyone’s attention because of the massive world it offered its players. ‘Just Cause 2’ was released in 2010 and it managed to make the first installment feel like an insignificant world. The game included an overall area of 400 square miles, making it one of the largest games of all time. It takes players several minutes to get from one end of the map to another in a jet plane, and that is saying a lot.
‘The Witcher’ series is yet another open-world RPG platform that has always been successful because of the quality of the game along with the added bonus of a massive open-world. The third ‘Witcher’ that was released early this year did not earn the amazing critical acclaim of the second part, but it is easily bigger and better in terms of gameplay and overall quests.

A landmark Supreme Court verdict, delivered through four separate but concurring and stirring judgments, has decriminalized homosexuality by scrapping certain portions of Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and also underlined the ‘primary objective’ of the Constitution as one of ‘establishing a dynamic and inclusive society’ that recognizes and grants the rights of all persons who identify themselves as ‘queer’.
The mood among members of the community as well as those who work with them has been euphoric, for it has been the culmination of a long and sustained movement at the grassroots, marked by many ups and downs.
Manohar Elavarthy, founder of Sangama, one of the first Sexual Minorities human rights NGO in the country, voices the sentiments of most associated with the movement in a statement released publicly:
Decriminalising sex between consenting adults heralds a new milestone for personal liberty, equality and principles of social justice. Every human has equal value and criminalising a whole community for their sexual orientation and preference is the worst kind of human rights violation, which we endured for many generations. Criminalising consensual sex between adults is violative of constitutional principles of justice. Today’s historic verdict by the Supreme Court, and the committed activists from among sexual minorities and progressive supporters must be applauded.
Jayna Kothari, co-founder of the Centre for Law and Policy research and one of the leading legal minds who fought the battle against Section 377, says “If one were look at the number of cases filed under section 377, we would find those numbers to be in a few hundreds, probably. It wasn’t so much about being penalised by the law as it was about the threat of this law. The constant fear of prosecution under a law for simply being who you are — you and I will not understand this, what it is like to have our very existence deemed criminal by the Constitution. The verdict is a big victory in that sense.”
But Jayna is quick to step into her lawyer shoes and clarify, “Section 377 has not been scrapped. Portions of the section have been read down by the Supreme Court — for example, decriminalising consensual sexual relations between members of the the same sex or what we know as homosexuality. In so far as that portion of the law is concerned, there are no loopholes which can be used to penalise members of the LGBQT community,” she says.
A tool to fight back
Discriminated against, shamed and even brutally repressed, queer members of society are hanging on to this verdict as a means to finally claim their rights.
Stories of wrongful repression and the implications of having a hostile law are abundant. Vidya from Bengaluru-based All Sorts of Queer remembers a 19-year-old lesbian girl, who was being constantly forced to agree to marriage by her parents and relatives. “She ran away to live with her partner and eventually came to us for help. When she went to file a complaint with the Police Commissioner, she got no help, but instead the police informed and transported her to her parents! We went to counsel the family, but by then, she had got blackmailed into agreeing with her family’s decision,” recalls Vidya. “Now, at least, this judgment will give us some spine and we can expect legal protection, just as straight people do.” She says.
Romal Laisram, Founder of the Queer Arts Movement, says, “All these years, even as I fought for the community’s rights as an activist, I would constantly live in fear that I could be framed with false charges. But now I do not need to fear.”
Anjali Gopalan, Executive Director, Naz Foundation also feels that this may be one of the most crucial differentiators. “The judgement has mentioned that the police will be trained on handling the issue sensitively in every police station. Now, the community can reach out to the police if abused. Earlier this was impossible as they were seen as criminals. Thus this verdict grants them a level of freedom and immunity, which can make a lot of difference to their lives,” she explains.
Beyond gay rights
Lawyer and independent researcher Gowthaman Ranganathan (formerly with the Alternate Law Forum) points out, “The judgment was not given through a technical reading by just merely pronouncing the law as unconstitutional. It was authored with depth and complexity by the Bench. It is difficult to ignore the scale, as it goes beyond the fundamental rights enshrined in the constitution and recognizes the historical wrongs to the community.
The broader import and significance of this verdict – not just from a perspective of sexuality and gender relations, but also of a larger take on constitutional protection to all sections of society – have also been hailed by many.
The Coalition of Sex Workers and Sexual Minorities Rights captures it succinctly through their public statement which says:
While this judgment is a huge leap forward in recognising the rights of gender and sexuality minorities, it comes at a time when other forms of civil liberties and dissent are being cracked down on by the state. And while we celebrate this victory, we must be cognisant of the continuing struggles of Dalits, Adivasis, farmers, students, and other marginalised communities.
Ram, a blogger, who is compiling “coming-out stories” articulates the same even more directly. Apart from underlining what it would do for his immediate community, he says, “The judgement is brilliant, historic and momentous, especially when you consider the kind of government we have now, which is dictating what people should eat, wear and what kind of partner they should select!”
The road ahead
But even as jubilations continue, the LTBTQ+ community and the activists and legal fraternity who have waged a sustained and difficult battle to arrive where they stand today, are all too aware of the realities of the road ahead. Voices of reason and caution are heard from every individual spoken to; questions over how and when the community will truly be a part of mainstream society cannot be missed, even when the celebratory noise is at its loudest.
30-year-old Grace Banu, founder-director of the Trans Rights Now collective, still remembers her adolescence clearly. She felt trapped in a boy’s body, led an isolated life with no friends and suffered every day. “The boys, who got a hint of my sexuality through my behaviour, would peek into the restroom when I went inside. Their curiosity made me even more uncomfortable. I stopped using the loo in school, suffering every day for almost 8 to 9 hours. I remember running back home after school to relieve myself,” says Grace, wondering how long it will take for such realities to change. ““There is no doubt that the judgement has opened up a path. But how many can accept us?” she questions, emphasising the need for creating awareness in every nook and corner of the country.
Dolly Koshy, an IT professional from Bengaluru, is also skeptical about how society would adapt. “General social psychology is one of rejecting anyone who is in a same-sex relationship, because of the innate feeling that it is not natural. I have never had the support system, not even from my family, that would have enabled me to build and sustain a stable and happy relationship with a partner,” says Dolly. “People are no different today because of the Court’s verdict on Section 377, there is still a lot of homophobia. The judgment cannot do much to change that.”
Anjali concurs that social attitude cannot be changed overnight. But she is hopeful, “What we do have now is a strong law protecting all citizens of the country, allowing them to come out in the open. Look at what happened when the Delhi High Court verdict came out in 2009, till the Supreme Court reversed it in 2013. It enabled a large number of people to bravely come out. So, I do believe acceptance will go up. This strong law will help usher in change over a period of time, and push other things in place.”
Mumbai-based filmmaker, photographer and artist Arnab Nandy, whose heartwarming social media post describing his parents’ reaction to the judgement went viral immediately after the verdict, views the current development as a very important step towards a progressive India. But he too is cautious in tone as he says, “There is a lot of stigma attached to homosexuality. Stigma and stereotypes. Society tries to find a wife and husband even in the homosexual couple, which boils down to a basic disrespect for our choices and fuels the concept of heteronormativity. The country still has a long way to go towards real understanding and inclusion of various sexualities.”
Jayna makes another very important point in how the verdict might pan out in the everyday scheme of things. “We need to understand and remember that our rape laws are gender specific; only the rape of a woman can be prosecuted under Section 375. A male rape can be reported and prosecuted only under Section 377 and this has been retained. A common narrative against the transgender community has been that they kidnap young boys and sexually assault them. In 2014, 14 cases were filed (though not under the section 377) in a case in Hassan, mostly against the transgender community, accusing them of kidnap, assault and attempted murder of a young person, who had in fact identified himself as trans and had even submitted an affidavit. This was done by his own family. So it will take time before the implications of this verdict is felt in our society in a big way. But I am happy we have started.”
Many, including Gowthaman Ranganathan, are pinning hopes on the fact that the order has explicitly issued directions for the judgment to be disseminated widely and for sensitization to be ensured in even remote locations, including rural police stations. “We, who have been part of the long legal struggle, hope that this landmark judgment will not remain only in text, but seep into the everyday lives of LGBT people,” he says.
American diversity lawyer Verna Myers’ quote has been repeated often and across contexts. “Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance,” she had said. Today in our country, as one speaks to the countless people who have been involved in the fight to ensure rights of people with alternative sexualities, one thing stands out most starkly. While the community is ecstatic over the guarantee of a space of legitimacy in the party, they continue to prepare themselves for the long haul towards the invitation to dance.[With inputs from Laasya Shekhar, Seema Prasad, Manasi Paresh Kumar and Revathi Siva Kumar]

Has anyone else used emojis in unicode text before? Gave it a shot and they work fine on Sierra, exactly as you'd expect. On Windows 10, though, they show up as black & white line drawings in the the actor inputs & outputs and when using Text/ure, but aren't recognized at all by Text Draw. Is this even an bug (should I submit it?), or just something strange about Windows?

As many of you know, I’ll be pitching scripts at The Great American Pitchfest again. This year I’m taking the opportunity to have a private consultation with one of the guest speakers for the conference. I went to Carole Kirschner’s talk last time around, ended up buying her book, and completed the assignments that end each chapter. She’s back again this year. I have questions that are better asked face-to-face. Naturally, I want my consultation to be with her. I’m supposed to get a phone call two weeks before the event to arrange such matters, but I thought I’d be proactive and contact one of the organizers in advance, before everyone else snaps up those time slots. http://parkonthelot.com/
In other news, the July session of Camp NaNoWriMo is now open to join. Whether I do it this summer will largely depend on how Pitchfest goes. Technically, NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) takes place in November, but there are two extra month-long challenges, one in April and one in July. I used the most recent April session for a script instead of a novel, but that’s allowed.
The November version is stricter (sort of. It’s still a self-regulated challenge) and there are more in-person events. http://nanowrimo.org/ The Calgary chapter of the organization, named The Wrimotaurs, meets up at least a couple of times a week during that period, usually at a Denny’s or at one of the libraries. We do Word Wars, writing sprints that can earn you goodies from a prize bucket for surpassing a goal, and whenever someone reaches 50,000 words, they get to ring a cowbell to a round of applause, which must be weird for the other Denny’s patrons. http://www.calgarynano.ca/ Camp NaNoWriMo, the April and July sessions, has a separate site where you can get organized by genre or age group (or randomly) to virtual cabins. As you update your word count, your numbers contribute to your cabin’s word count as a whole, and you get to cheer each other on. https://campnanowrimo.org/sign_in

ConnectWise Resolves Event Lead Transcription Woes with atEvent
ConnectWise Benefits from atEvent’s advanced transcription and flexible integrations
Faced with a high latency follow-up process that was rooted in low-quality transcription capability and a slow manual data-entry process, ConnectWise needed a solution that was fast, accurate, and able to integrate with their MarTech stack.
Adopting atEvent helped:
- Improve transcription accuracy by up to 70%.
- Reduce the time for leads to be passed off to Sales to 24-48 hours.
- View live reports of lead quality for strategic adjustments in real-time at their events.
ConnectWise is an Ecosystem-centric company that attends over 250 prospect facing events per year. They are dedicated to helping technology teams thrive through their robust platform of software built for Technology Solutions Providers (TSPs) to run their entire as-a-service business and drive exceptional user experiences.
The biggest issue ConnectWise faced was in their inaccurate and inconsistent transcription. They struggled with their previous lead capture provider’s low-quality transcriptions, even noting that on one occasion the app had scanned a business card that clearly had the word, “Chicago” printed on it, but then transcribed the word “Iowa” in its place.
Moreover, ConnectWise was plagued with high latency with their follow-up process. Poor transcription meant the team had to manually fix transcription errors before also manually transferring those leads into their CRM system. This added unnecessary time onto their lead cleansing process, which further delayed sales from following up promptly. On top of this, using rental lead scanners as an alternative to their lead capture provider proved to be inconsistent, each with slightly different functionality and qualification process.
"atEvent has been able to transcribe business cards very quickly and accurately. We’ve seen some tremendous results since switching to atEvent."
- Tori Mannix, Sr. Field Marketing Manager
How atEvent Helped
Right away, ConnectWise fell in love with atEvent’s fast and accurate transcription. They can now rely on atEvent to quickly and accurately transcribe all of their business card and badge scans, allowing them to keep up with their high foot traffic at events. Additionally, their team can cast a wider net at events thanks to the unlimited number of users, as well as atEvent’s ability to capture leads anywhere. ConnectWise can now ensure they capture context and record all interaction history with leads on and off the event floor with each team member having the ability to scan leads and add notes independently of each other, from their device.
Thanks to atEvent, ConnectWise now has a fully integrated capture and follow-up process. They have been able to decrease their lead follow-up latency from 2 weeks down to as little as 24 hours. As a result, their sales team has been set up to make their post-event contact with leads while they are still warm, which has ultimately increased their sales pipeline velocity.
As a bonus, ConnectWise enjoys using the live event lead data feature of atEvent. They can now determine their lead quality and adjust their strategy during events based on their live lead data, including qualifiers and follow-ups, collected from each sales rep.
For ConnectWise, they found a lead management solution that provided great transcription, detailed lead data, and flexible integration.

An important opportunity has opened up for interventional oncologists as WCIO leaders take the helm of the E1208 trial. Michael C Soulen writes that the change in the trial leadership from medical oncology to interventional oncology represents a challenge because it rests on the question: can interventional oncologists run a successful cooperative group trial of image-guided therapy?
E1208 is a phase III randomised, double-blind trial of chemoembolization with or without sorafenib in unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with and without vascular invasion. This article was first published in the IO Insights monthly e-newsletter from IO central.
By Michael C Soulen
National Cancer Institute (NCI) cooperative group trials of interventional oncology therapies are few and far between, with a dismal track record; so much so that interventional radiologists have the reputation in the NCI community of being ”unable to do trials”.
Unfortunately we still lack a clinical trials group for interventional oncology, so to access the resources needed for national multicentre trials requires either industry funding—a rare thing on this scale from the device world—or the national cooperative groups. The NCI (known among cynics as the “National Chemotherapy Institute”) cooperative groups are run by medical oncologists with pervasive influence from Big Pharma, who have little interest in interventional oncology studies. Even the radiology cooperative group, ACRIN, was largely unsuccessful in completing the few interventional oncology trials it attempted. (Disclosure: I was the principal investigator of one of the failed trials, though it was six years before I gave up.)
There are some breaths of fresh air from our industry colleagues. Merit Medical, BTG and Sirtex are all running multicentre embolotherapy trials for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and/or liver metastases.
E1208 was activated in October 2009. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival, with a planned accrual of 200 patients in each arm. Jeff Geschwind and I served as the interventional radiology co-chairs for the protocol design, but the trial has been run largely by medical oncologists. Among the 123 sites approved to accrue to the study, only one has a recognized interventional radiologist as the site. Accrual has been a dismal 167 patients over the past four years, less than half of the planned rate. Only three centres in the country have enrolled 10 or more patients. There have been a number of bumps in the road: the interruption in Lipiodol supply in 2010, cessation of production of powdered cisplatin in 2010, and ongoing shortages of powdered doxorubicin all required trial interruption and revision to allow use of drug-eluting beads. Nonetheless, accrual has remained so poor that the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Data and Safety Monitoring Board and the medical oncologists on the steering committee recommended consideration of closing the trial.
In a recent turn of events, the medical oncology principal investigator for E1208 left, and the leadership turned to Peter O’Dwyer, a Penn medical oncologist and interventional oncology enthusiast. Dr. O’Dwyer saw the futility in medical oncologists running an interventional oncology trial, and asked us to take it over. In essence, he has thrown down the gauntlet: can interventional oncologists run a successful cooperative group trial of image-guided therapy? This is an historic opportunity; for the first time, interventionalists are running an NCI cooperative group trial. Jeff Geschwind (professor of Radiology, Surgery and Oncology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and director, Vascular and Interventional Radiology, Baltimore, USA) will take over as the principal investigator, with Riad Salem (Medical director of Interventional Oncology, Northwestern Memorial Hospital and professor of Radiology at Northwestern University, Illinois, USA) and myself as the co-chairs.
Call to action
As an interventional oncology community, we need to rise to this challenge. We do not want to be left holding the blame for the failure of the study. Trials of interventional oncology therapies are difficult to accrue. Having treatment arms involving different specialists, instead of the patient being managed by a single doctor, is a major negative accrual factor for any trial. Interventional oncologists doing chemoembolization should be able to prescribe and manage sorafenib; but if you are not comfortable, then team up with a medical oncologist or hepatologist from your HCC team who is. Coordinator support from the cooperative groups is very sparse; your cancer centre should supply a coordinator funded by your group. It is an intergroup trial. Make sure the trial is active at your site, and that your HCC tumour board funnels eligible patients to the trial. See http://ecog.dfci.harvard.edu/general/E1208info.html for physician and patient information about the trial.
Jeff, Riad and I will be reaching out to centres likely to be able to put patients on the study. We need the concerted effort of the interventional oncology community to prove to our medical oncology, surgical oncology, and radiation oncology colleagues that we can do trials too, and cement our credibility as the fourth pillar of cancer care.
Michael C Soulen is professor of Radiology and Surgery at Abramson Cancer Center, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, USA and WCIO past chair.

|“||"Oh my God, they killed Kenny!"||„|
|~ Brickhead Mulligan|
Teams[edit | edit source]
All teams can use this Dirty Trick.
Abilities[edit | edit source]
The team which called for the Ref Attack immediately jumps offside and targets the referee to kill him. Similar to QB Sack Attack, targeting the referee instead of the opposing quarterback. The opponent controls the referee when the Dirty Trick is revealed.
Either team may use this Dirty trick at any time an unlimited number of times, either through their playbook or for an audible.
As a tactic, Ref Attack is best used immediately after the first sign shows the opponent has bribed the referee (such as a nonsense penalty or an uncalled obvious penalty).
Counterplay[edit | edit source]
The referee can elude death a little longer by running out of bounds, similar to QB sack attack counterplay. The best chance to pull this off is when the opponent calls a Ref Attack audible rather than ordering it from the playbook.
If called from the playbook, the referee has effectively no chance of survival, though can still knock over and hurt players, similar to a late-hit window.
Penalties[edit | edit source]
- If the referee died: 15 yards for unnecessary refslaughter.
- If the referee escaped: 10 yards for attempted homicide.
Manual[edit | edit source]
Description from the Official Game Manual:
When it’s clear a ref is bribed there can only be one outcome – he has to be eliminated, and that’s where the Ref Attack Dirty Trick comes into play. When a Ref Attack play is called, the team will jump offside prior to the snap and attack the bribed ref.
When a ref dies, the bribe dies with him and a new referee will come out onto the field and take his place. When a team attacks the ref whether they kill him or not, they will receive a penalty.
The player on the opposing team can take control of the ref and try to escape by running him out of bounds.

Good explanation and worth a read.
I have a question: how does the foot stance affect your ability to rotate your head into a good position for shooting. I’ve been thinking about this and it seemed to me a closed stance can limit the head rotation. Taken to an extreme closed position it would inhibit your ability to rotate your head, having to look over your bow shoulder, not that you’d shoot from a stance like that. The trade off is that a closed stance has been key to getting good alignment into my shot.
The stance can indeed affect the position of the head but turn your thinking around. The arrow needs to point at target center (it needs to be in or very near a plane going through target center because if launched at an angle to that plane, it will only get farther and farther away from that plane as it…

Worried About Using Your Second Passport for the First Time?
September 18, 2016 - Guide
So you’ve successfully invested in a second passport and it’s time to use it to travel abroad.
It’s natural to feel nervous the first time you use your passport, especially as a Resident in any GCC country, as you need proof of entry and exit.
However, by being well prepared you can ensure your journey is stress and hassle free.
1. If you have not yet transferred your Residency Permit to your new passport, make sure you exit using your original passport as this is what is registered in the official immigration system.
2. At your final destination, enter using your new passport.
3. If your passport is brand new and contains no stamps, immigration officials at your destination country might ask you a few questions. Remember that Economic Citizenship is a legal route to citizenship and answer the official’s questions calmly, confidently and truthfully.
4. It always helps to know as many details about the country whose passport you hold – it is advisable to know basic information such as geographical location, capital city, currency etc. Ensure your spouse and family are also aware and prepared to answer similar questions.
5. Many countries offer dual citizenship so carrying two or more passports is not uncommon. However, always remember to enter and exit any country using the same passport to avoid any issues.
Bon voyage!Have another question about second citizenship? PassPro is a Government Approved agent for the Citizenship by Investment Unit of Antigua and Barbuda and will be happy to provide you with more information.

As many of you know, I am running for Put-in-Bay Township Trustee this November. I have had several people ask me what my platform is. What am I out to change? My answer to this is, what are changes that you want done? I believe that if I’m not listening to what you want, then I’m not representing you correctly. I also don’t believe that outside influences should get in the way of me representing you. I will listen to what you want and need and work to achieve those wants and needs.
I was a summer resident up until 9 and a half years ago when I became a year round resident. My wife and I built a home here and are raising our children here on the island so my commitment to the community is well anchored. I am on the island throughout the year and can be easily reached anytime. In addition to living here, I also own a business with my brother and feel that I can represent business owners as well as homeowners. I believe that I can also relate to both summer residents and year round residents and can work for both as a trustee.
I am confident that I will do a good job as a trustee and I ask that you give me that chance this November.

Fred nodded and said his standard phrase. Time to split up gang. You three go investigate the greenhouse and Daphne and Ill check the attic.
Beautiful black women possess a figure that no other gender on the planet has. Black women are physically strong and usually dominant athletically. Some, not most, black men are handing their black women over to the wolves in a desperate attempt to fit in with a supremacist white society that has downgraded and killed black men and black women for centuries. Its put to black men as if now they have justification for the predicament they are in. But this is not fair and this is not accurate.

Reptilicus performed an improvised piece titled Re:Written at the Grand Finale of the Tectonics festival in Harpa, Reykjavík, yesterday. GIM and Jóhann collected raw material during the festival by recording bits and pieces from other performances which were then manipulated and edited on stage.
Apart from emphasising the way the piece was put together, the titled refers to the human tendency to take things out of context and infuse them with new meaning. For the visuals, a live microscope was utilised on stage — for as a visual aid, it does an excellent job of removing whatever it hones in on out of its immediate context.
The visuals were operated by Kári Hrafn Guðmundsson.
