CIOs Share their Takeaways from Leading Digital Revolutions at Enterprises
The path to digital transformation is unique for every enterprise. Implementing a successful digital transformation (DX) strategy involves more than just digitalizing isolated functions and processes. It requires a complete resetting of an organization’s business model to one that is driven by agile and collaborative operations.
A digital enterprise is all about making information mobile. Professionals will be able to access not only company data, but customer and vendor files through interconnected cloud networks, and applying analytics tools and techniques to take more informed decisions.
With the CIO’s role now including initiating shared services, e-commerce, digital changes for every function, here’s what five CIOs have to say about their experiences leading digital revolutions in their organizations. These takeaways from 2014 still hold as a best-practices reckoner for those starting on their digital journeys:
Chris Perretta, former CIO at State Street and presently CIO at MUfG Americas
“In the old days, you built systems in functional towers, based on what process you need to automate and what function you need to do for the business. Today, it’s more a philosophy of how work is going to get done. The employee of the future is going to be different than the employee of the past. As we get more sophisticated, the type of data we share with clients is not unlike how manufacturers share logistics data with their customers.”
State Street has a cohesive data-building application that allows its workforce to map the transition of a transaction from the beginning to an eventual payment. This helps employees to respond to customer queries about their accounts at any time of the day and from any centre they are located at. Perretta says, “We track every transaction, every person and process who touches the transaction as we process it around the world. Clients can relate their data to our data, making this a cornerstone application for building a more digital enterprise.”
Takeaway: Digital needs to be a unified, rather than a siloed approach.
Mojgan Lefebvre, CIO at Liberty Mutual Insurance
“The one thing that comes in and absolutely disrupts industries is giving the end-user customer, consumers, the ability to do anything and everything they want on their mobile device. Today, consumers expect to interact with any service the way they do with Amazon.com – from their smartphones, with no need for paper and no need to physically interact with a person or place.” Liberty Mutual Global Specialty has implemented new document management systems, building in capabilities to buy and sell business documents over the cloud in its global market. It is also revisiting some APIs, and has digitized the complete customer journey from finding a suitable insurance product to generating the policy document.
Lefebvre says, “We don’t say we have to digitize everything. We try to look and see what makes sense and where the value is. The hardest thing is knowing what the right business moves are, the new business models emerging and how you should engage with your customer.”
She adds, “CIOs should also highlight the impact digital is having on other industries. If the CEO looks around and sees how other industries have been disrupted and companies have gone out of business, because customers have leveraged other technology or business models, they’ll get it.”
Lefebvre ensures that she and her team spend time understanding millennial needs and how they are expected to disrupt the market as they know it.
Takeaway: Know your customer to create the right digital processes to meet business goals.
Ray Voelker, former CIO at Progressive Insurance and presently Advisory Board Member at Mirantis
“There’s been a change in momentum of technology development. I’m going to spend a ton of money making sure that everything we do is compelling on mobile devices. If we don’t do that, I do think that we will fail.” He elaborates further, “In the early 1980s, when banks built ATM networks, those investments had to be made. But today, there is no longer any competitive advantage to having the technology. It’s gone from cutting edge to table stakes. Nobody runs commercials saying, ‘Hey, come to our bank – we have ATMs. CIOs are facing the same challenge with today’s emerging technologies.”
Progressive Insurance has created the Snapshot tool, which lets them track a driver’s behavior and driving habits. This, in turn, helps the tool customize insurance rates base on its comparison to their existing peers on the database. Creating this technology required Progressive to store and analyze real-time data for using algorithms to give the pricing. As far back as 1990s, Progressive had also launched automated underwriting. He mulls, “IT didn’t know just how happy times were when there was nothing much to worry about as long as you had Internet Explorer and a fast Internet connection.”
Voelker adds, “To get to the truly digital enterprise, virtually every consumer-oriented company needs to take all that business logic that is digital and locked up in our legacy systems. Moving the business’s logic into an API form makes it possible to mash together applications, so that Progressive can create a mobile app that gives its customers roadside services or renter’s insurance from Progressive partners, without making the customer leave its app. It sounds straightforward, but it’s not the way legacy systems are constructed.”
He advises, “CIOs have to show CEOs the data that makes the digital story compelling. Build a presentation showing how rapidly transactions are shifting from the traditional web to mobile platforms, the technical diversity of those mobile platforms, and what it costs to keep up with that diversity.”
Takeaway: Unlock the digital potential in legacy systems.
Thaddeus Arroyo, former CIO at AT&T Services and presently CEO with AT&T
“Mobile phone carriers – on the front lines of the smartphone revolution but also dealing with physical networks, products and customer interactions – are under intense pressure to be digital. I talk about the digital-physical blur in the way physical products are becoming digital services. Being a digital enterprise means creating a consistent experience across digital and physical channels. To get there, you must weave a digital golden thread that seamlessly extends through the enterprise.”
AT & T ensures they have comprehensive profiling for all their customers with contextual information, so that any customer-facing employee is aided in their interactions. Arroyo adds, “Our sales representatives carry mobile devices, and these must have up-to-date information on the customer, compiled from customer service updates, previous interactions in stores and even correspondence via social media. AT&T home technicians need a different view of the same information, and call center agents should have yet another slice of it. AT&T hopes to have 80 percent of customer interactions happen in a digital form by 2020, up from just over 47 percent today.
“The lines between technology and what we do with our business are going to continue to blur. The first [step] is pulling down the barriers within the organization itself and really driving collaborative teams. Digital business is a team sport. The CEO’s vision determines the focus, and collaboration comes from that.”
Takeaway: Consistent experience across all digital and physical customer touch points.
Diana McKenzie, former CIO at Amgen and presently SVP & CIO at Workday
Billion-dollar biotech enterprise Amgen looks upon digital as a means to reach its customers in a better way. Says Diana, “Technologies like electronic health records, wearable health-monitoring devices and cloud computing are creating an opportunity for a company like Amgen to participate directly in that patient-physician and payer space that didn’t necessarily exist for us five years ago. Healthcare is the industry most affected by digitization, because of how it breaks down long-standing industry silos.
Amgen is aiming at mapping data from their numerous clinical trial databases with that of electronic health records and apply algorithms that throw up models that healthcare industry can use to know patient reactions to medical treatments.
Diana shares the challenges in this, “When I’m together with my peers at payer/providers, at service companies, at life sciences organizations, the No. 1 problem we all say we could work together to solve is the data interoperability issue.”
Other initiatives Diana is working on for Amgen include mobile access to sales data analytics, implementing video chat applications for real-time interactions with doctors for query resolutions on Amgen products.
McKenzie explains, “Amgen’s internal operations are completely automated, though we are only 25 percent down the path to providing the staff with new digital tools, such as data analytics for salespeople. Meanwhile, Amgen has is working toward delivering the data-driven, personalized patient care scenario. We are as much an information company as we are a drug company. A CEO who sets a digital vision makes it easier for the other C-level leaders to collaborate on it.”

What should be the ideal weight of a Woman's beautiful handbag?
In Vaufoulot we believe that for a woman the most indispensable complement is a bag, since we wear it all day and also part of the night, for this reason we have different varieties of designs that include shapes and colours for different tastes.
In the same way, it will serve to carry part of the important objects that satisfy the daily necessities as the mobile, the wallet, the glasses, the keys and why not? Makeup as a red lipstick.
Today we will bring you a couple of tips to choose the bag that best suits your tastes and needs.
According to the Professional College of Community Physical Therapists of Madrid (CPFCM), carrying a bag incorrectly can cause various pathologies, including cervical problems, trapezial contractures, mobility difficulties in the shoulders and some other complication in elbows or wrists.
Carrying too much weight can also be an inconvenience, which is why at Vaufoulot, we try to make sure that our beautiful handbag do not exceed the correct measurements, always thinking about their well-being and quality of life.
That is why; it is advised that the bag does not exceed 5% of the weight of the person who will carry it.
How to correctly carry a shoulder bag?
You may be wondering what is a shoulder bag? It is simply a “musthave” piece or also known as an indispensable crossover bag in the women “dressingroom”.
Ideally, they should be crossed diagonally, right-handed or left-handed, because this way the weight is distributed optimally. For this reason, it will allow the user to have their hands free, with the peace of mind and security of having their belongings close to their body.
It is important to choose the handbag with a comfortable strap, that means that it is wide between a minimum of 0.59in/0.94in and a maximum of 1.97in that can offer you comfort with a padded leather or textile strap.
We therefore recommend that if you wear it on your shoulder for a long time, you should exchange the beautiful handbag on the side to avoid possible muscle injuries or contractures.
On the other hand, try to make sure that every bag in your wardrobe has a shoulder strap as an option! This is the healthiest way to prevent pain that causes complications in the neck, shoulder and arms.
This way you will be able to alternate the postures distributing the weight, this will allow you to be in agreement with his look. That's why here at Vaufoulot we suggest different alternatives with their models and at the same time we recommend the best option that best suits your needs.
Why chooses the backpack?
The ideal complement for all ages is “Backpacks" because shoulder bags allow freedom in the hands, with the difference that in this case the weight rests on the back and shoulders. When choosing, it is preferable that the width of the backpack does not exceed the width of the shoulders.
On the other hand, it is important to know that there are wide varieties of materials and textures in their packaging representing one of the most urban style. We therefore recommend that you choose backpacks made of natural fibres, as they are in direct contact with the back.
How to carry a handbag?
There are several types of beautiful handbag such as tote bags, envelopes, bags, briefcases, binders, minaudière and frame; this can vary depending on the handbag you choose, although the way you carry it is the same.
Today, we will talk about the tote bag, as this design can be worn in two ways as a bandit or as a handbag and for this case it is important to know how to carry a tote properly to prevent possible injuries?
As we had previously advised; it is preferable not to carry too much the handbag because it could generate epicondylitis, also called "tennis elbow", which is when the arm musculature is shortened and generates rigidity. But it can be easily solved by alternating the arm every 15 minutes and carrying it on the shoulder or with the shoulder strap.

Play Age: 3-5 years old. My final thoughts will conclude this topic but following is more exploring on this area of human development. You often see these cartoons where the id looks like a devil and the super-ego looks like an angel. Deferred gratification involves putting off pleasure until later, or enjoying a smaller pleasure in the short term for the sake of a larger pleasure later on. Whereas, he felt that adulthood was a time that distinguished humans from animals and raised them to a higher level.
Behavioural genetics, Big Five personality traits, Human nature 1727 Words 5 Pages The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest issues in sociology Davidson, 1991, n. The super-ego The final part of the psyche to develop is the super-ego which forms between the ages of 4 and 6. Nature verses Nurture is an old ongoing disagreement over the comparative influences that genetic factors and involvement make to the growth of psychological characters and behaviors. Mineka demonstrated this by studying fear learning in monkeys. This communication barrier blocked their path towards receiving a high education.
The id is not evil. It is your wish to punish yourself, your feelings of unworthiness and failure. Sigmund Freud 1856-1939 was one of the most influential psychologists who ever lived. Intelligence is quite malleable and owes little or nothing to genetics. Nurture Debate Are you the way you are because you were born that way, or because of the way you were raised? Accordingly, verbal disclosure transformed trauma-related action and symptom expression into words. He talked about nurture but involving parental action and inactions determining who you are as an adult in what he called the psychosexual stage of development.
Childhood is the most important part of personality development. It appears, on the other hand, that Psychology will have to be brought into the field of behavioral genetics kicking and screaming. It will include the history and the essential characteristics. In particular, Freud noticed that his patients seem to have deep personal unhappiness that they found it difficult to talk about and that their problems stemmed back to events in their childhoods. Resolution occurs through coming to identify with the same-sex parent.
On the whole, the nature vs. It has also been criticized for being too focused on rational and cognitive aspects of behavior; e. I will discuss the difference between nature and nurture and then I'll apply to each of these philosophers and how they react to it. Freud argues that human behavior is motivated by sexual and instinctive drives known as libido which is derived from Eros or life instinct. Many arguments on this topic are for the support of one or the other. Some actions stem from nature and the others nurture.
She wasagainst both criticism as well as praise since it served to breakthat concentration. Such an exam question is likely to stir up your students and result in an express appointment with your Dean. The third stage is the phallic stage. It can do this because it understands the real world and can formulate plans. For example, Philosophers expounds on their theories, Biologist have their theory.
I am not blaming you, the author, however, but our current culture around these issues. Developmental psychology, Erikson's stages of psychosocial development, Jean Piaget 1288 Words 5 Pages Nature and Nurture Argument Have you ever wondered where you got your different talents from? Finally, there is the genital stage. Freud summed it up like this: much will be gained if we succeed in transforming your hysterical misery into common unhappiness. The biological environment includes nutrition, drugs, and physical accidents. The id lives entirely for the moment and is completely selfish. Are homosexual individuals born or made? Cross-cultural studies are studies conducted across more than one culture, based on the assumption that the differences between cultures genetically.
Psychoanalysis is not a miracle cure, but it aims to make the client's emotions seem less confusing and frightening, producing a greater sense of acceptance and more self-control. Great post - insightful and so very thought provoking. When someone has two copies of the same allele, they are said to be homozygous for that allele. When it comes tonature vs nurture, things are always subjective. This includes the id, a primal desire that drives us to achieve basic urges; the super-ego, a sort of moral compass; and the ego, a development from the id that analyzes the simultaneous needs of the id, superego, and the stimuli of reality in order to synthesis choices. This debate is contemplating whether it be either nature or nurture being the explanation behind the way people. Human behavior, Human nature, Intelligence quotient 715 Words 3 Pages Taylor4, S.
Reprinted in 1935 and translated by J. Freud conceptualized that the repression of trauma memory for which there was later amnesia laid the foundation for the future development of the unconscious Freud, 1920. Like most things intellectual the pendulum will have to swing back and forth several times before the picture is clarified. Nurture One of the most enduring debates in the field of psychology is the controversial idea of nature vs. Is it the natural chemical balances and imbalances that one is born with? Where exactly did this all begin? The ego also has to deal with the real world and all its problems. Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Dystopia 1182 Words 3 Pages Konteh Perspectives on Human Nature Prof.

Brazil nut improves the oxidative metabolism of superoxide-hydrogen peroxide chemically-imbalanced human fibroblasts in a nutrigenomic manner.
Food Chem Toxicol. 2018 Nov ;121:519-526. Epub 2018 Sep 20. PMID: 30243747
Karen Lilian Schott
There are some genes associated to the risk of chronic diseases that present potential nutrigenetic response, such as the human manganese-dependent superoxide dismutase gene (Val16Ala-SOD2, rs4880) for which homozygous genotypes (VV and AA) are associated with higher basal superoxide (S) and hydrogen peroxide (HP) levels, respectively. It is possible that the VV- and AA-imbalance could be attenuated by selenium(Se)-rich foods such as Brazil nut (BN). To test this hypothesis, we conducted an in vitro protocol triggering a chemical S-HP imbalance by exposure of dermal fibroblast cells (HFF-1) to paraquat, which generates high S levels (VV-like treatment) and porphyrin (MnTBAP), which generates high HP levels (AA-like treatment). Modulation of cell growth and pro-oxidative and antioxidant markers were evaluated. BN aqueous extract (BNAE) most effective concentration which increased cell growth and decreased oxidative metabolism indicators of imbalanced cells was 75 ng Se/mL. However, this effect was not directly affected by the S-HP imbalance: in AA-SOD2-like cells, thioredoxin reductase (TrxR-1) gene was upregulated and in VV-SOD2-like cells an upregulation of glutathione peroxidase (GPx-1) gene expression was observed, however, this regulation occured ina homeostatic manner. These results suggest that BNAE was able to minimize negative effects in both directions of the S-HP imbalance, by modulation of different oxidative-metabolic pathways.

“We would like to be SAIZEN 00, the hottest culture in Japan today!” Fantasista Utamaro, who is actively working in various fields such as illustration and animation, organized a super dimensional cultural event, ‘SAIZEN 00’ (front line zero zero). He called upon Mofuku-chan, the CEO of Moe Japan, fashion designer Mikio Sakabe, and Toshiyuki Sugai from Semitransparent Design, among others to participate.
* ‘SAIZEN 00’ is an Otaku term used in the idol scene that indicates a situation wherein the Otaku is at perfect harmony with the idols who stand at the center of a concert’s front line.
The first event on April 22nd, 2011 was held in collaboration with Mikio Sakabe’s collection show. Denpagumi, Inc from Akihabara Dear Stage appeared live on stage at Tsutaya Tokyo Roppongi, performing music and holding a fashion show.
The members of Denpagumi,Inc dressed up in brightly colored costumes designed by Mikio Sakabe. The costumes were reminiscent of those worn by Anime characters. They wore very unique headdresses and long straight golden boots with no curves around ankles. Their appearance in such unique costumes was very overwhelming and unforgettable. Although the event was also a fashion show, the hardcore Otaku (Top-Ota) filled up the front line of the audience. During the music performance, the venue was filled by Denpagumi, Inc. and the Top-Ota’s wild energy.
Even people passing alongside the venue were unconsciously compelled to stop there. After all, the crowd overflowed from inside of the venue to the outside. The future possibilities born from the fusion of multiple cultures such as fashion and Akiba at this event proved inspirational. The crowd also found excitement and happiness from theirs moments of sweaty union.

Cathal Coughlan, the Irish singer-songwriter who co-founded Microdisney and went on to lead The Fatima Mansions, returns today with his first new music in a decade, the single “Song of Co-Aklan,” which also is the title track of his forthcoming solo album.
The song, which you can hear below via its George Seminara-directed music video, finds Coughlan working with longtime collaborators Grand Necropolitan Quartet and The Auteurs’ Luke Haines.
The 12-song Song of Co-Aklan is due out March 12 on Dimple Discs is “loosely conceptual, and based around the persona of Co-Aklan,” and features appearances by a pair of Coughlan’s former bandmates: Sean O’Hagan of Microdisney (and High Llamas) and Andrías Ó Gruama of The Fatima Mansions.
The new album is Coughlan’s fifth solo effort and first since 2010’s Rancho Tetrahedron, recorded with the Grand Necropolitan Quartet.
Microdisney’s original lineup — Coughlan, O’Hagan, Jon Fell and Tom Fenner — reunited for the first time in 30 years to play concerts in Dublin, London and Cork in 2018 and 2019.
Here’s Coughlan’s new solo single:

A Little Boy's Love
Sometimes when you are responsible for three little boys day in and day out, you just need a quick nap. So thought my wife as she stretched out on the bed. But after a moment she heard Eli's voice just outside our bedroom. "I love you. I love you so so so so much." Her mother's heart filled with tenderness, and she rose from the bed and went into the hallway to give her thoughtful little boy a hug.
And there she found him, sitting on the floor, gazing with great affection at . . . his little blue blanket. "I love you, blankie. Mmmmmmmm-unnnh. Hug. Kiss. I love you." He hugged it tight and rubbed his cheek against it.
Then he noticed the woman who had labored for twelve grueling hours to bring him into the world, the woman who had nursed him for eighteen months, the woman who changed his diapers and tended his scrapes and cared for him during illnesses.
"Oh, hi Mom."
We're not sure whether to be honored when we get some shadow of the great love this boy has for his precious blankie, or offended.

OK, my first comment got lost in the ether. And my second one became first, and makes no sense at all. What I said was ...
Hahaha, sounds like my 3 year old, whose "mankie" is his favorite possession. But I can relate, I had a blanket at that age, and when I rubbed the satin binding with my fingers, everything was better.
This sounds like one of those stories you'll relive when you get old. Kids are good for that.
Posted by: Jeff Brokaw at March 22, 2005 9:26 AM
Be honored. Be very honored!
I used to tell my oldest son, when he was a toddler, "I Love You" in as many different ways as I could dream up. One of the phrases I used was "I have the greatest affection for you."
One day, when he was three, he awakened from a nap, during which a raging ear infection had managed to set in. Still, he crawled into my lap for a hug. "Mommy, I have the greatest infection for you." He didn't realize what he was saying, and the fact he was actually sick made the moment hilarious.
He's 25 and married now, but we still use this phrase to express our utter love for one another. By the way, he got his degree in linguistics!

Are you back for good, Tony? I hope so.
Posted by: Teem at March 22, 2005 11:18 AM
That's so funny about his blankie affirmation. Along the line of "I have the greatest infection..." is something my friend's 4-year-old son said when he got a doctor playset. He came up to his dad with the plastic thermometer and said, "Daddy, do you have a beaver?".
That was the word he used for a good two weeks, and we giggled ourselves silly over it. Later, I asked him if he'd had a beaver when he was sick, and he looked at me with utter seriousness and said, "Noooo. That's silly. I had a fever!

*grin* Kids say the darnedest things, don't they?? Having recently acquired three delightful stepdaughters, I'm kept busy writing down the cute things they say in my PalmPilot. (I'm a pack-rat; I wouldn't want any of these gems to get lost.)
Just the other day, when almost-five-year-old Z. was wondering abou her upcoming birthday, I tried to explain the calendar to her, so that she'd have a better idea of when her birthday would be. Along the way, I happened to mention that her sister and her grandmother have the same birthday, February 6th.
Z. cheerfully replied, "That's called 'cinnamons'." (And what could I do but nod sagely and agree with her?)

And the guy on the right also became my foreman, Roly Stokes. Another great fella who let me away with murder as a youngster! Rolling in late in the morning after the nightclub binge. Very happy memories of a couple of very decent blokes.”

MORRISANIA, Bronx (WABC) -- A 60-year-old man who was punched and kicked during a $1 robbery has died, police said Saturday.
Juan Fresnada died Friday afternoon at the Bronx hospital where he was taken in critical condition after the mugging early on Christmas Eve, the New York Police Department said.
Officers have released surveillance photos and videos in hopes of pinpointing the attackers.
The attack happened about 1:30 a.m. Tuesday on Third Avenue in the Morrisania section.
Police said Fresnada and another man, 29, were walking along Third Avenue early Tuesday when several muggers approached them and demanded their property.
When the two refused, they were punched and kicked.
The attackers took a dollar from them and fled westbound on East 164th Street.
Surveillance video released by police show a man grabbing another man's shirt and swinging him to the ground, then hitting him. Clips also show two other men joining the attacker, one of them grasping a trash can, as the beaten man starts to stand up.
It's unclear whether he is Fresnada or the younger man, who declined medical attention, police said.
No contact information for Fresnada's family could immediately be found.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782).

Staying active all year round comes with multiple health benefits. However, as the weather gets colder, it’s essential to take extra precautions to avoid becoming injured. At Advance Physical Therapy, we know how devastating a pulled muscle can be for our patients. That is why our team of expert physical therapists would like to share information regarding the best ways to prevent this from taking place.
Symptoms Of A Pulled Muscle
Before diving into some potential prevention methods, our team would first like to call out the symptoms of this type of injury. Doing so will allow patients to seek the care they need if they are exposed to this situation. If you display any of the below during or after your workout, you have likely pulled the muscle in question:
- Pain or tenderness.
- Limited range of motion.
- Redness or bruising.
How Does The Cold Affect Your Muscles?
Although injuries and muscle pulls can happen during any time of year, the risk of this type of injury increases during the winter. Our team would like to spend some time discussing the scientific reason for this occurrence. As the muscles are exposed to cold weather, they lose heat and contract, causing them to tighten. Tightened muscles can more easily be pushed past their normal range of motion, which is when a muscle pull occurs. Fortunately for our patients, our team has information on how this can be avoided.
Preventing Cold Weather Injuries
It’s not uncommon for people to prefer going for runs or working out in colder weather instead of the blistering heat of summer. If you’re one of these people or are considering giving this exercise a try, there are a few things to consider before starting your activity. To prevent muscle pulls from happening, we highly recommend the below methods:
- Dress in warm layers that can be removed if necessary.
- Take time to warm up and stretch out before becoming active.
- Make sure you’re drinking enough water before, during, and after being physically active.
- Listen to your body. If you feel pain, stop working out.
- Schedule sessions of physical therapy for preventative care.
Contact Our Team
People shouldn’t let the cold temperatures of winter dictate whether or not they can remain physically active. At Advance Physical Therapy, our team will help you stay moving. From prevention methods to treatment options for injuries, we’ll be there to help. To schedule an appointment, contact us today!

As of August 24, 2020.
With your help we have donated a total of:
US$240 to The Trevor Project!
For Pride Month 2019, we transformed our We're All Mad Here design to "WE'RE ALL PROUD HERE":
This suggestion came from our long time customer and friend, Angson from Toronto, Canada. Creating a design specifically for this purpose signifies our company's policy and personal stance on inclusivity, that everyone is created equal and should therefore get equal treatment in their daily lives.
We appreciate all of our customers and stores that have purchased the tee at an additional €2 above our regular price. That says a lot about your support and love for the LGBTQ community. From the sale, we were able to raise €150 to support the cause.
We chose to donate the money to support The Trevor Project. The foundation provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention to the LGBTQ community for people under 25 years old.
Thank you again to everyone who participated. Your kindness will help assist the organisation to provide advice to LGBTQ youths. Additionally, you can donate directly to The Trevor Project.

Camper Van Hire Firm is located close to Glasgow and has won businesses from around the world.
Although the winter season has been so daring, a well-concerned business owner’s hope is for her campervan hire firm to benefit from the busy year amongst the growing popularity of “do-it-yourself” vacations.
Red Kite Campers Limited is located in Milton of Campsie Village, 10 miles north of Glasgow, at the base of Campsie Fells. Our back garden was used as the village bus depot.
What are your services??
We offer comfortable Volkswagan campervan hire for adults with all of the mod cons and retro twist. Also, we provide holiday and planning recommendations to our customers.
Who are your target audience??
Our target audience are people from around the world who would love to take the van on trip to continents.
What is your annual profit??
The company’s first full season will be by summer 2018. By the end of that year we are anticipating a turnover of around £37,000.
How many employees have you??
I’m a sole trader in theory but I have the full support of my husband and my family as a whole.
When was your business established?
It was officially established in July 2017 and it is called Red Kite Campers because of the large bird found mostly in the Scottish Highland, flying freely in the sky.
What is your sole reason for starting the business??
My family has always been passionate about nature. While growing up, we often spent our vacations doing walking routes. We planned an annual summer trip to South Uist where my husband comes from. After going through the campervan few years back, we decided to start up something exactly like that as it gives you the freedom to experience Scotland with an entirely different view in the morning. ”Having a right to park anywhere” rule in Scotland was also a huge bonus to seeing new routes like the North Coast 500 Boosting Tourism.
What were you doing before you started the business?
Before starting Red Kite Camper, I spent most of my time taking care of our one-year-old son. I used to work in an Automobile Industry before then where I sold Honda cars for 12 years. I was able to gain handful experience in Sales and Customer Service and I also unconsciously leant about vehicles and how they worked which is in turn useful for my business.
How did you raise the start-up capital?
We bought an older campervan which we stripped down and made beautiful. A few months later we sold it and it generated some cash towards the conversion of our first campervan for Red Kite Campers. The rest we borrowed from the bank. Also, we’ve had enormous help from Business Gateway East Dunbartonshire providing free social media for business training as well as assistance with key areas on our website.
What was your biggest break?
Finding Calder Campers in East Calder who did our first ever conversion. Their huge experience has really helped us along the way, in ensuring that we meet up with customers need in a campervan holiday let.
What was your most challenging moment?
There was a time in December, during the cold season, water supply in the van froze. A night before then, it was up for hire. We defrosted it but the water was still not flowing. Fortunately, my husband spotted a loosed pipe which only needed a little clip to secure it back in place.
What has been exciting about the business?
Meeting customers from all over Europe who are about to go on holidays. I’ve also been opportune to go out on photo-shoots and discovering new places in Scotland. We recently visited Glen Etive near Ballachulish, which was really amazing.
What annoys you the most?
Unnecessary phone calls that come with having your own website. I completely understand that people want to make a living and some are genuinely helpful but others can be quite rude.
What are your desires for the firm?
It already looks like 2018 will be a busy year and after that, we are eager to expand our business. Great vans are rare to come by, so we are always on the lookout. We would love to have five vans by 2020.
What help could the Westminster and/or Scottish Government render?
The Scottish Government has already subsidized Island hopping in the Western Isles, by announcing the Road Equivalent Tariff. An improvement in the infrastructure when tourists are reaching the Islands would also be great. Also, it will be great if the popular Oban – Lochboisdale ferry route is restored during the spring and summer months.
What valuable lesson have you learnt?
When the journey seems tough, never give up that journey, rather explore new ways to triumph
How do you relieve stress??
Long walk with family and friends. My sister is an incredible yoga teacher and often puts me through my paces.

Drunk drivers are a public safety threat to every member of the Dallas community that uses our roadways.
No one is safe from a drunk driver when they are on the road. Drunk drivers are unpredictable, dangerous, and reckless.
If You Are a Victim of a Drunk Driver, Contact Stewart J. Guss Injury Accident Lawyers
When you are a drunk driving accident victim, your life can turn upside down in just a few terrifying moments on the road. Another driver’s unfortunate choices and negligence can cause you painful injuries and unexpected expenses and losses.
Our legal team at Steward J. Guss Injury Accident Lawyers wants to help the survivors of Dallas drunk driving accidents get the compensation they deserve when they are a victim of a driver under the influence.
What Are the Risks and Dangers of Drunk Driving in Dallas?
An extensive and bustling city like Dallas is home to many residents and visitors that travel along the roadways. Drunk drivers can appear at any time, but there are certain times of the day, events, and city areas where one is more likely to encounter a drunk driver behind the wheel.
Football games and nightlife are popular in and around Dallas. Unfortunately, fun and entertainment are commonly tied to the overconsumption of alcohol. For these reasons, you can be at a higher risk of involvement in a drunk driving accident during the times when these activities are most frequent.
Weekends, holidays, and overnight hours are the most common periods when there is an increase of drunk drivers on the road and a higher chance of a drunk driving accident occurring in Dallas. Alcohol is a common thread amongst many accidents that result in fatalities on the road.
Drunk drivers cause injuries and fatalities to thousands of victims each year along Texas roadways. The NHTSA estimates that nearly 40 percent of traffic fatalities in Texas every year are due to alcohol impairment.
How Does Drinking Affect a Driver’s Capabilities?
Alcohol and driving are a deadly combination. Alcohol gradually impairs the functions and abilities of an individual, and when a person is behind the wheel, the effects can cause destructive accidents involving other vehicles and victims.
People often think of drunk drivers as those who surpass the blood alcohol limits set by the state where a driver is charged with DUI. The reality is that even occasional drinkers that may think they are breaking the laws can still be under the effects of alcohol, which can affect their ability to operate a motor vehicle.
Driving while under the influence affects multiple body functions, which is dangerous when a driver needs to be on alert and always focused on the road. Depending on the individual, any amount of alcohol can cause a drunk driving accident.
The higher the amount of alcohol in the system of an individual, the higher the effects of impairment, but alcohol can affect everyone differently.
If an individual with a low tolerance for alcohol gets behind the wheel of a car, they can still cause an accident and harm others.
- Slower physical reactions – Alcohol can cause a driver’s body to be sluggish and for their reactions to slow significantly. A driver cannot react as quickly to sudden obstacles in the road or hazards. Stopping, changing lanes, or maneuvering out of the way is a slower process when alcohol is in a motor vehicle driver’s system. When seconds can mean the difference between a collision and a near accident, these slower reactions increase the likelihood the driver will cause an accident.
- Delay in decision-making – Beyond the physical delays, a driver with alcohol in their system will also delay their ability to make decisions. When there is congestion on the roadways, the series of events leading to an accident will happen instantly. A driver’s ability to make quick decisions can help them avoid an accident. Still, when their decision-making ability is slower or impaired, there is a higher risk a collision will occur.
- Impact on senses – To drive safely, a driver must see and hear what is happening around them. Alcohol causes impairments to an individual’s senses. Blurry vision is a common symptom of drunkenness. Surprisingly, hearing is also at risk when an individual is under the influence. While a person is still likely to hear, they will have a slower time processing what they hear, which can put them and others on the roadways near them in danger.
- Lack of impulse control – Alcohol affects the speed of the decision-making ability of a driver and the soundness of those decisions. Alcohol can inhibit an individual’s ability to control their impulses or judgment. This can make a driver make reckless decisions or engage in dangerous behaviors such as speeding or racing on the roads.
- Loss of focus – Driving requires a combination of actions from sight to a driver’s ability to steer, brake, and identify traffic signals and dangers on the road. This requires a driver to focus and concentrate on engaging in these skills successfully. Alcohol disrupts a driver’s ability to maintain focus and concentration. Any lapse in focus or taking their eyes off the road, even for a matter of seconds, can cause a severe accident.
- Drowsiness – Alcohol is a depressive substance in that it will slow the body’s functions and ability as a whole, which in turn can make a person feel very tired. Sleepiness and drowsiness are common after a person indulges in alcohol. Even just one drink can influence a person’s alertness, especially when in combination with lack of sleep, stress, and other factors. A drunk driver who falls asleep behind the wheel is sure to cause severe dangers on the road, ranging from losing control of their vehicle or a head-on collision with another driver.
What Are the Most Common Types of Drunk Driving Accidents?
A drunk driver can cause many types of accidents. Depending on the conditions on the road, the traffic, and the layout of the street, many factors can influence the accident that a drunk driver can cause.
Other factors that can impact how a drunk driving accident will unfold are the driver’s blood alcohol levels and whether they lose control of their vehicle.
While any accident can be deadly, the location of impact on a vehicle can affect each driver and passenger victim differently in an accident and make them susceptible to different types of injuries.
- Rear-end crash – These crashes can catch a vehicle’s occupants by surprise and most commonly occur at red lights, stops, or in heavy traffic or congestion.
- Head-on collision – Drunk drivers can have difficulties maintaining their vehicles within their lane or remaining alert and awake. Head-on collisions are common when a drunk driver is behind the wheel and are also the most common cause of fatalities by drunk drivers.
- Sideswipe – Drifting from their lane and into nearby vehicles is possible when a drunk driver is on the road.
- Accident with a pedestrian or bicyclist – It is not just other motorists at risk when drunk drivers are on the road. Bicyclists, pedestrians, or other bystanders on nearby sidewalks or areas near the road are at risk of injury or death if a drunk driver is near. Drunk drivers can skip the curb, crash into buildings, people or objects by losing control of their vehicle or falling asleep behind the wheel.
- Traveling in the wrong direction on the road – Drunk drivers can fail to follow traffic signs and signals, leading them to make wrong turns and end up in the opposite driving direction as the traffic flow. This is a perilous situation that is likely to end with fatal consequences.
How to Prove Fault in a Drunk Driving Accident?
You may think that driving under the influence makes the decision of fault in a traffic accident easy. However, that is not always the case.
Texas does not change the requirements for proof of fault when a driver is under the influence of alcohol. While alcohol use is a solid piece of evidence that can influence a fault determination by an insurer or court, it is not conclusive. This is why it is always important to seek representation by a Dallas drunk driving attorney if you are the victim of a DUI accident.
An attorney can help you build your case against the defendant to prove they are the cause of the accident and your injuries due to their negligence and alcohol use. Under Texas law, the victim of an accident must show that all elements of negligence are present in the case to be eligible for compensation for your damages.
While driving under the influence is not a guarantee that fault will fall on the other party, if the drunk driver is held at fault for the accident, you may be eligible for additional damages in your case. Punitive damages are rare in personal injury cases. However, in certain drunk driving accidents, it may be appropriate to seek these damages against the party responsible.
What are the Most Common Injuries in a Drunk Driving Crash?
Drunk drivers can cause frightening motor vehicle accidents. In some cases, there can be multiple victims, and the type of accident that occurs can impact the type and severity of injuries.
Car crashes due to alcohol impairment can be devastating to victims, with a high chance of a fatality or serious injuries. Unfortunately, many drunk driving accidents happen along interstates and highways. This means higher speeds and more catastrophic wrecks resulting in severe injury or fatalities of the victims involved.
Injuries to victims of a drunk driver might include:
- Head injuries, including TBI (Traumatic Brain Injuries)
- Back and neck injuries, including damage to the spinal cord
- Cuts and severe lacerations
- Broken bones
- Internal injuries and bleeding
- Amputation or the loss of a limb
What Compensation Can You Seek if You Are the Victim of a Drunk Driving Accident?
The damages available to a drunk driving victim will depend on the severity of your injuries and the losses you sustain. It may not always be clear how much your damages will be after an accident. Injuries can take time to heal, and the impact of the injuries on your life may not yet be fully clear.
To know just how compensation to pursue after an accident, you need a lawyer with an in-depth understanding of your injuries and how your injuries will affect you and your ability to function and fulfill your needs and duties, such as caring for your family, your responsibilities, and work. A drunk driving lawyer will help you consider each category of damages in your case and estimate the damages based on evidence of your injuries and experts’ opinions on the matter.
Damages for a drunk driving accident victim in Dallas can include:
- Medical expenses
- Loss of income and potential future income
- Pain and suffering, including emotional distress
- Property damage
- Wrongful death compensation in cases where a loved one dies
- In egregious cases of drunk driving, punitive damages may be possible if the case goes to trial
When Should You Contact a Dallas Drunk Driving Lawyer After an Accident?
If you are in a drunk driving collision, you will likely need to visit an ER for emergency care and/or a medical evaluation to look for any serious injuries. Your first thoughts and worries will revolve around your health and your recovery.
As soon as you physically can, contact a Dallas drunk driving lawyer at Stewart J. Guss Injury Accident Lawyers. Do not contact the at-fault driver’s insurance company or discuss the accident with another party or an insurance representative.

Instagram is one of the most popular social media platforms around. Unfortunately, many businesses make the mistake of not utilizing it as well as they should be.
We have 5 effective strategies you can use to increase your number of Instagram followers. You could also try automatic likes for Instagram, read more here.
Make Your Instagram Feed Attractive
Table of Contents
Have you noticed how the photos in a successful Instagram account all fit into one theme, and have the same general aesthetic and look?
Getting this set up isn’t as hard as it may seem at first, although it does take some careful planning.
Step 1: Determine what you want
Check out the people you are following on Instagram. Who are your favorites? Scroll through your main feed and see what pops out. Do you like muted tones? Or do you prefer lots of colors? These kinds of questions will help you decide on the overall aesthetic that you would like your Instagram feed to have.
Step 2: Plan ahead
Would you like to know what the secret is to have an Instagram account that is perfectly styled? Planning. There are many Instagrammers who take dozens of photos in one “shoot” and then post them throughout the upcoming week.
Pre-planning all of your images not only helps you stay consistent but also makes things easier for you when your life starts getting hectic during the middle of the week.
Step 3: Provide your images with a single consistent look
To maintain consistent branding, you may want to consider either not using a filter or always use the same one. Just choose one look and be consistent.
Canva.com is my favorite tool for editing all of my images to use the same filter. Other great tools include the apps ColorStory, VSCO, and Afterlight. They all can be found in the App Store and downloaded from there.
Post Meaningful Content
To be a successful Insta-Yogi doesn’t necessarily mean you just have to post photos of you doing advanced yoga poses (unless that is what you really want to do).
Post photos with a purpose instead. You want your feed to have substance and be attractive.
Don’t try being too perfect. Instead, show who the real you is – the person who is behind-the-scenes instead of the ideal poses that are seen all of the time on Instagram.
Be real in all of your descriptions and keep things relevant. Posting Rumi quotes or photos of doing handstands have been way too many times already.
Don’t hesitate to mention your blog posts, services, and products on a regular basis – otherwise, people won’t know who you are or what you do.
Instagram should be used to bring followers to your email list and your website. If all you do is post pretty photos without talking about what you have to offer, you will lose out on the opportunity to connect with prospective customers who are willing and eager to purchase from you or come to your retreats or workshops.
If you really want to grow your Instagram followers, you need to post on a regular basis and stay consistent.
I recommend that you post 1 to 2 photos per day. For example, once in the morning and then once again at night, Just post one photo at a time. You don’t want to spam your followers.
In the native app, Instagram doesn’t provide scheduling options yet. You need to post in real-time from your phone or use a third-party scheduling tool (such as https://later.com or http://schedugr.am).
The best time to post is when most of your followers tend to be online. However, don’t overthink this. Just post at times that work for you.
When you use hashtags, it puts your posts into collections of photos that also have used the same hashtag. That makes your content findable, searchable, and ready to get new yogis inspired.
Everyone who clicks on that hashtag will see all of the videos and photos that are using the same hashtag. This a great way for you to build Insta-relationships and make connections with other yogis.
The following are Some Tips for Using Hashtags Effectively:
Use relevant hashtags that are used by your audience.
You can get better results with less popular hashtags. That is because you won’t get lost in all of the clutter of all of the thousands of other photos that are using the same hashtags.
Only post one hashtag with an original post and then post a comment immediately after you post with up to 30 hashtags.
Be creative with your hashtags. Think outside of the box. Go a little crazy and invent your own.
Engage and Connect
In order to increase your number of followers, you must engage on a regular basis on Instagram. It isn’t sufficient to simply have an attractive feed and post beautiful photos. Find other Instagram accounts that appeal to you and like them, comment on their posts and follow them, to start building your own community.
Follow others and comment on a regular basis on other people’s photos – they will start noticing you. Whether they decide to follow you back or not will depend on your most recent photos and your profile. People rarely look beyond the most recent photos.
Engage with your followers regularly. Reply whenever they leave comments.

Cindy: At the public library, Lynn found this great new birding guide for children getting started in this rewarding hobby that gets them outside and active. Audubon Birding Adventures for Kids (Quarto, 2020) by Elissa Wolfson and Margaret A. Barker is more than just an identification guide. It’s divided into three sections: Meet the Birds, Outside with Birds, and Inside with Birds, the last two provide ideas and directions for games, activities, and adventures to have in order to learn more about the birds.
Most of the 25 birds selected for the Meet the Birds section are ones that are found throughout the United States at one season or another. A range map is provided for each species, just as is provided in identification books published for adults. A color photo of a single or pair of the species is included along with a “fun fact.” Did you know that Hummingbird eggs are the size of peas? Each species is identified by common name, scientific name, field marks, length (in inches and centimeters), and voice descriptions for songs and calls. There’s also information on feeding (what they eat and how they consume it), conservation issues, tips for helping the species (food or plants to provide), and similar species. There are also a few groan-worthy bird jokes thrown in for fun. “What kind of crows always stick together?….Vel-crows!” HAHAHAHA.
Lynn: Following the section Cindy describes are two more sections that the parent/grandparent in me loved. These are the sections that get kids moving, learning, and entertained. These two chapters provide well-designed activities, one set for outside and one for inside. Each activity clearly lists materials needed, directions, follow up, and discoveries. Some are more involved than others but most require just simple materials. One does require binoculars but I liked this one too as a good basic lesson on how to use binoculars. Glossary and an appendix have related bird information.
I learned a lot myself from the information on common birds despite being a life-long birder. Did you know only the female duck “quacks”? Or that Chickadees hide seeds and go back to them months later? This appealing book will help create more birders and will keep kids nicely occupied with science and bird-related activities. This is an ideal book for kids and caregivers both and may be of special interest to everyone with children doing virtual school in this time of Covid-19.

Reliability and validity of a system for coding asthma outcomes from medical records. In 981 skiing accidents the type of injury resulting was studied in relation to the skiing activity (long distance, cross country, and downhill) and to the type of boots used. Second, we consider various claims to the effect that there are ways of obtaining evidence that do not make use of RCTs. In general, the BYM method seems preferable for local cluster detection with relatively high relative risks whereas the SaTScan method appears preferable for lower relative risks. To investigate neurophysiological aspects of comorbidity, we measured motor system excitability for the first time also in children with combined ADHD and TD. The systemic character of analysis of pathogenetic mechanisms of chronic generalized periodontitis dictates the necessity of an absolutely new conceptual outlook of organization and implementation of medical and preventive measures designed to activate sanogenetic responses and to enhance the regulatory potential and functional reserves of the organism in the presence of developing periodontitis. The prepeak structure of a 3 mol/kg solution of LiClO4 in propylene carbonate (PC) was studied by both neutron diffraction with isotopic substitution (NDIS) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation.

Medical staff should also know that early multidisciplinary interventions in addition to cancer treatments are needed for victims of physical abuse among cancer patients and that these interventions are necessary to improve compliance with treatment and proper decision making. Medication use, endoscopic findings, esophageal acid exposure, and motility were assessed at 0 and 6 months. Factors which impair fracture healing after intramedullary (IM) nailing of long bone fractures range from surgical and biological factors to mechanical parameters.

I was playing around with my latest mini-project, an iMac G3 that I’m trying to get working, and I discovered an old relic. I was trying out various old hard drives of mine, to see which ones I could then use to install System 9.
What surprised me, was a single file in the root of the hard drive, named
"blissful glitches.wav". Oh, and it was created on 1st September 2011.
I was pretty sure when I saw it what it most likely was. Because a very old hobby of mine was making and listening to Chiptune1. So I assumed this was maybe a test recording I made. I personally used to use a program called LSDJ on a GameBoy to record my music, but I hardly ever actually finished something. But it turns out this one actually sounds finished.
After I listened to it, I could definitely remember the actual song, but I can’t remember anything about the creation, or when it actually happened. The date on the file is one thing, but it may not be the time I even recorded it from the GameBoy or even the time I started making it.
Anyway, I’ll cut to the chase.
Maybe this is where you ask for feedback, or “constructive criticism”. But I made this 7 years ago, and even back then, I always created for myself first.
Music created using old sound chips from vintage computers, and game consoles, or emulated versions. ↩

[Forwarded from JDS – to Friends of The John Dewey Society]
I am writing as director of the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools to invite you to participate in a conference we are hosting in Chicago from May 2-4, 2019, the Centennial Colloquium on Dewey: Then and Now. The conference commemorates the 100th anniversary of a transformative two-year trip to China made by University of Chicago Laboratory Schools founder John Dewey. As a member of the John Dewey Society, I believe this conference will be of interest to you, and that the conference will be enriched by your presence.
Educator and philosopher John Dewey and his wife, Alice, founded the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools in 1896. Today, as then, Lab is a community of educators who, reflecting the intellectual rigor and evidence-based research of the University of Chicago, advocate for best practices to prepare students for fulfilling lives. In our classrooms, we honor, explore, and interpret Dewey’s ideas about teaching and learning—ideas that Dewey shared in a series of lectures at schools and universities across China from 1919 to 1921. The Centennial Colloquium on Dewey: Then and Now will bring together international researchers, policy-makers, and school-level educators to examine Dewey’s impact and further our understanding of how education has evolved.
The conference features 18 speakers from the United States and China, including keynote speakers University of Chicago Nobel laureate James J. Heckman and Professor Shi Zhongying of Beijing Normal University. Session topics range from Dewey’s past and present impact in the US and China to current challenges in Chinese education, meeting the needs of rural students, and progressive approaches to art and education.
True to Dewey’s philosophies, the conference also includes a variety of hands-on experiences. Participants can observe classes at the Lab Schools and UChicago charter schools, reflect on issues of civic engagement by visiting organizations that serve Chicago’s South Side, screen a documentary film made by high school students from Chicago and Beijing about their trip retracing Dewey’s path through China, and participate in an art activation project.
John Dewey believed in continuous learning. Through this conference, we can learn from experts, from students, and from one another, furthering his legacy, and our own education. I hope you are able to join us.
Director, The University of Chicago Laboratory Schools

Life is precious!
We won't be here forever...
For me this whole COVID phenomena was a big wakeup call!
Sometimes we need to be cornered to see what IS, and who we are.
Spiritual awakening is the most simple and natural, but until we are sincerely sick and tired of our suffering we will always overlook what is effortless and most obvious: I am aware.
I can deeply see and feel how I was cut-off and lost in the thinking head.
I can experience that it is such an unbelievable blessing to talk with fellow human beings who share a natural longing for peace in daily living.
The peace I experience, independent of circumstances – here and now, was always present during my last 50+ years, but I wasn't clear about it. My own longing and misunderstanding of shame, guilt, blame and pride distracts me from simply being myself, peace itself: effortless Awareness.
Since decades I was passively consuming spiritual teachings, but only since the end of March 2020 I started to become more alive. Uncounted puzzle pieces started falling into place when I started having daily Satsangs on Zoom.
We can read and listen until doomsday, but without authentic human contact we remain locked up in our own thinking head! Ego is a self-entertained defense mechanism who is afraid of love and trust.
Having a growing environment in which we can risk to see and understand our own inner uncomfortableness is priceless. ... that's my direct experience.
I vividly recall how afraid I was my whole life to be psychologically naked, to be seen, to admit to myself confusion and suffering; to hear and feel myself beyond thinking; to admit and experience that I don't know... that I have nothing substantial to hold onto besides assumptions, believes and hope.
Blame, shame, guilt, pride, expectation, attachment to outcome, fear, worry, anxiety... all of this I entertain(ed) myself, in my own head, for decades!
We all suffer the same, we are all challenged with allowing the loving and wise use of mind and speech.
I am not here to sell you anything, I just know the gift of human connection when it goes deeper than small-talk, without trying to impress even our own self-image.
We have the technology – Internet and Zoom (video)! Let's use it wisely and bravely to invite new experiences and insights beyond our old ingrained faulty thinking and feeling. Our opportunity is here and now, despite fear and doubt.
The simpler the better. No prerequisites... besides a sincere hunger for peace in our own thinking and feeling:
PS: It may sound selfish, but without peace and clarity in our own thinking and feeling we have no stable and reliable ground from which to operate, nurture and inspire.

When looking for a therapist for your teen, it is important to find one who will help your child to get full benefits from the therapeutic relationship. In other words, the therapist you choose will certainly determine if your teenager is able to deal with the problems he or she is facing.
Having said that, this article will help you gain insights on some important considerations that you need to keep in mind when choosing a therapist for your adolescent.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Therapist for Your Teen
- Comfort and safety
You will agree with me that many people go for therapy when they are in their most vulnerable state and when they feel inadequate or incapable of doing things that they would love to do, which can be quite embarassing. Teens are no exception.
Therefore, your teen should be able to feel comfortable and safe with his or her therapist. As a parent, it is imperative to ensure that the therapist you choose for your teen isn’t going to hurt or ridicule your child, or tell him how horrible he is. Additionally, it is important to note that your youth can only start changing and growing when he or she is safe regardless of how uncomfortable the change may feel.
Your child should be able to trust the therapist in such a way that he or she feels comfortable disclosing important information. What’s more, if you feel like your teen is not getting any help or improving by seeing that therapist, you should consider choosing another one.
It is important to take your teen to a therapist who has experience and expertise in dealing with youth or teenagers. What’s more, a therapist with experience in handling your teen’s specific issue will be in a better position to help and you are likely to see better outcomes for your child.
So, during your child’s first session, it is important that you ask questions regarding the therapist’s experience. Find out if he or she has helped teenagers with concerns similar to those of your child, the number of years the therapist has been in practice, and perhaps the last time they got to help a teenager with a similar concern.
- Nonjudgmental Attitude
One of the most important qualities you should look for in your child’s or youth therapist is a nonjugmental attitude. So, your teen’s therapist should be one who is able to validate your child’s feelings. In addition, the therapist should be able to not only connect to your adolescent child, but also understand him and show him some level of care.
So, if you take your teen for therapy and you happen to feel like the therapist is judging your child, then it is imperative that you address that issue immediately or just look for a therapist that you can trust.
Having said that, your teen’s therapist should have a nonjugmental attitude that enables your child to share his feelings, thoughts and experiences without been judged or criticized. The therapist should be able to offer your child unconditional positive regard, which means that no matter what your child shares, the therapist will still be able to regard your teen highly.
It is important to note that rapport is a good predictor of whether therapy will be successful. So, when you meet your teen’s therapist for the first time, you should be able to feel some level of trust, warmth, respect, or some chemistry. If you feel that there is no good therapeutic alliance or rapport, you might want to look for another therapist.
- Good listener
At times teenagers tend to feel like no one is listening to them, and you will agree with me that this statement is true to some extent. So, your teenager’s counsellor should be a good listener. What’s more, good listening skills can encourage your child to open up because he gets to know that he is been taken seriously.
Getting a good therapist for your teenager is an important process that can at times be very frustrating and confusing. However, it is important to note that getting the right therapist for your teenager can really make a huge impact in your child’s life. So, it is my hope that this article will help you understand some of the things you need to look out for.

What are you best recommendations for Ruby on Rails books I should read?
I am trying to understand Ruby and Rails as best I can. I've purchased a bunch of ruby on rails books, but am wondering if you have any recommendations. Perhaps there are many I haven't yet read to help me get a better understanding of everything that's going on?
My personal favorite was Metaprogramming Ruby. It explains how metaprogramming works which is ActiveRecords generates methods based upon the columns that are in each table in the database. That is the "magic" that most people don't understand in Rails. It's just standard Ruby, applied in smart ways.
Oh that sounds like a winner! And one I haven't heard of before. Thank you Chris.
I have also read a lot of books and watched tutorials to learn ruby on rails. But all of them, Ruby on Rails Tutorial by Michael Hartl was the best to me. It teaches Rails by guiding you through the development of three example applications of increasing sophistication. The tutorial’s examples focus on the general principles of web development needed for virtually any kind of website. The updates to this edition include full compatibility with Rails 5, a division of the largest chapters into more manageable units, and a huge number of new exercises interspersed in each chapter for maximum reinforcement of the material.
Thanks for the advice. I would advise you to read not only specialized literature, but also fiction in order for the brain to consume a variety of information. If you haven't read The Lord of the Rings yet, I advise you to head over to https://artscolumbia.org/free-essays/lord-of-the-flies/ and read some really cool articles about this book and Tolkien in general.

Here is this week’s BI-RoundUp with some great content below.
Power BI – Usage Metrics
You now have the capability to be able to view the usage metrics for your dashboards and reports in Power BI. This is a great feature, because it now gives the organization the capability to see how well the dashboards and reports are being used, shared or viewed.
In order to be able to view the metrics you need to have a Pro license, as well as at least have Edit access to the Dashboard or report to be able to view the Usage metrics.
There is also the option to disable the usage metrics for the Organization in the Admin Portal.
And finally you can also build your own Usage Report, by clicking File, Save As, and from there you are then able to modify the existing report so that it can suit your requirements.
You can find that and more details here: Usage metrics for dashboards and reports
Power BI – Mobile Apps Update for May 2017
With the latest update from the Mobile Apps team, you now have the option to use the Shared With Me, to easily see the content that was shared with you on your mobile phone.

The current internal turmoil and political instability continues to affect Yemen's economic and social structure. Public institutions have not been able to provide adequate services to citizens for months. IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation continues to provide aid to Hudaydah and Taiz, which suffers from a serious humanitarian crisis.
In this context, IHH has delivered 800 emergency food aid packages to approximately 5,000 victims and oppressed people in Yemen's Hudaydah and Taiz regions, where starvation continues as a serious problem.
Children are losing their lives
IHH Middle East Affairs Coordinator Emre Kaya said that thousands of people are struggling to survive due to starvation and many children are losing their lives because of malnutrition. "For this reason as IHH's Middle East Desk we decided to make the first donation of 2017 to Yemen," said Kaya.
2016 Yemen aid
In 2016, IHH Humanitarian Relief Foundation delivered 20 thousand food packages which include baby food, 150 tons of flour, 300 Qurban shares and distributed water to 300 thousand people. A total of 551,300 people benefited from the aid packages delivered.
On the other hand, there are delays in aid reaching Yemen's Taiz district due to security reasons. At least 6,500 civils have lost their lives and over 32,000 people have been injured. Eight in every 10 people in Yemen are in need of humanitarian aid.

As a new journalist, Sarah Ramantanis knows the world of reporting and writing isn’t what it used to be.
But she’s still ready to do what she can to make a go of it.
“I think I’ve always gravitated toward hearing stories about people going through something challenging,” she says. “One of the main reasons I want to be a journalist is I want to be a voice for people who don’t have one.”
A recent college graduate, Ramantanis is working with World Vision Australia, where she’s an intern working in a newsroom with a handful of others in support of the team’s solo reporter in the field.
“World Vision is made up of a handful of journalists, all with such different roles. One role is the emergency communications officer, she’s like a foreign correspondent. She’s the only one who travels and reports the stories,” she says. “The others are in the newsroom trying to get her stories out, pitching World Vision stories to other organizations. It’s really interesting working in a newsroom like that compared to a more traditional one, with 50 journalists all working on different things.”
Stories are assigned based on days of awareness in addition to larger overarching themes, including climate change.
Ramantanis isn’t stopping here, however, and has realized she might need to tap into her entrepreneurial side to start her career in journalism.
She’s recently launched KOS Magazine, with the help of some friends still attending school.
“I had the idea of, look, if I’m not going to be a journalist now, I might as well do it myself,” she says. “Why not just share stories as best as I can? I reached out to a couple people I thought would be good to interview to start. I pitched the idea to other students at university, would you like to volunteer to write and build up your portfolio. They keep me on track and keep me driven to keep sharing stories.”
The publication launched a few months ago and has published 30-40 stories already.
“I don’t get paid for it but I get to be fulfilled and share stories that need to be told,” she says.
It’s also helping her keep her perspective about why she wanted to go into journalism in the first place.
“The main thing that’s getting me through the early stage of my career is to keep reaching out to experienced journalists and say if you have any advice,” she says. “That’s the best way forward, to learn from someone experienced. That’s the best thing I can recommend in addition to applying for that job.”
This week, It’s All Journalism host Michael O’Connell is joined by Sarah Ramantanis, an intern with World Vision Australia and founder of the recently launched KOS Magazine in her home country. They talk about the challenges facing new journalists and how she’s trying to make a name for herself.

Ramesh S Arunachalam
Rural Finance Practitioner
The Indian micro-finance crisis has been an excellent learning ground and here are some of the critical regulatory views, issues and lessons that are emerging from this crisis. I hope that the RBI sub-committee looking into the micro-finance crisis and related aspects does take these into account while formulating future policy. I also hope that the planning commission, which is drafting an approach paper to micro-finance for the next plan period, also looks at the emerging lessons…
First, for some diverse views…on regulation…
In common parlance, regulation is the establishment of fair rules to conduct the ‘business’ of micro-finance and supervision is ensuring compliance to these above rules. The essence of regulation is to prevent market/institutional failures and ensure stability and soundness of the financial system – in this case, the micro-finance system. According to Joseph Stiglitz[i] "Regulatory reform requires the elimination of excessive or burdensome regulations, as well as regulations whose sole purpose is to inhibit competition. At the same time, regulation is needed to promote competition, and prudential behavior, while continuing to ensure that clients are protected."
Others have also endorsed the need for regulation to prevent ‘failures’. As an international expert in micro-finance argues, “While some may argue that regulations could impede the growth of micro-finance institutions, however the fact remains that as … the microfinance sector and institutions grow, risks and chances of failure also increase… Regulation would then become imperative for the microfinance industry.”
Remarks a senior banker, “The first purpose (of regulation), which applies in all sectors of the economy, is to ensure that markets work efficiency and competitively. Regulation for this purpose includes rules designed to promote adequate disclosure, prevent fraud or other unfair practices and prohibit anti-competitive behavior such as collusion or monopolization. This type of regulation does not materially alter or prescribe the nature of products or services, but simply aims to ensure that there are fair and efficient markets. Also, there will be no room in a competitive market for non-commercial mispricing. Competitors with high cost structures will also be forced to rationalize their operations in order to remain competitive.”
Commenting on this aspect of regulation and market failure, an industry observer states, “While we clearly have to address the potential and real abuses that exist in the system…. we, also need to preserve, encourage and facilitate to the greatest extent possible, clients, continued access to credit and other financial services. This mandates that the system for delivery of financial services has adequate safeguards, checks and balances to prevent failures and foster the development of vibrant institutions that can ensure continued and sustained access to financial services for the poor”
Second, let us look at some of the emerging issues…on the regulatory front…
Currently, there are many legal forms (mainly, not-for profits, mutual benefits and for-profits) through which micro-finance is delivered in India. The multiplicity of legal forms means that different acts and laws will govern the different legal forms and this has several implications for regulation and protection from institutional failures:
· Issue # 1 – Multiple Legal Form Makes Uniform Micro-Finance Regulation Difficult: First, with existence of multiple legal forms for delivering micro-finance services, supervision and regulation are, by default, dispersed across authorities with the result that no single authority oversees the functioning of all legal forms. Hence, uniform regulation is difficult to enforce as some of the features of any legal enactment may not apply or be relevant to some legal forms. Also, no one regulatory authority can be held responsible for any crisis, as no one regulator is really in charge. This also means that many legal forms (of MFIs) could lack legitimacy in operational terms.
· Issue # 2 – Regulatory Arbitrage Possibly Enhances Chance of Failure: Second, chances of institutional failure abound as different authorities expect each other to regulate and supervise the MFIs in their respective categories and this may result in none of them appropriately supervising/regulating MFIs in their own categories. Also, MFIs may take advantage of the presence of multiple regulators. In fact, the above is exactly what has happened in the case of many of the NBFC MFIs and they have no serious regulation or supervision as most local government authorities felt that these entities are the responsibility of the RBI. The same applies to the other legal forms as well. Thus, the quality of supervision and regulation across different legal forms is rather poor, and this again enhances the chance of failure. Further, institutions can use various laws and create newer entities to overcome specific regulations with regard to micro-finance and this is a dangerous aspect which can result in failures – legal solutions can be formulated to tackle seemingly ‘stringent’ micro-finance regulations and the prime driver for the legal solution is the presence of alternative legal forms under other laws. Lessons from the NBFCs failures of the 1990s clearly illustrate lack of appropriate coordination between several regulators.
· Issue # 3 – Lack of A Comprehensive Regulatory Knowledge Data Base on Micro-Finance Failures Prevents Suitable Pre-emptive Action: Third, dispersion of supervision and regulation also means that learning from ‘early warning’ is not available with one single regulatory/supervisory body and hence, the opportunity to plug all possible loopholes related to failures becomes less likely. This again is similar to the NBFC failures of the 1990s. Without question, regulation attempts to provide for and reduce failures in functioning of institutions and when the regulatory authorities are different, a comprehensive knowledge base of likely failures is not possible as this knowledge could be spread over different regulatory bodies. Hence, suitable pre-emptive action cannot be taken by the regulators
· Issue # 4 – Enforcement Difficult Across Multiple Legal Forms: Fourth, even if The Central Bank were to come out with a common code for regulation of all forms and models of micro-finance, the enforcement of this is difficult as different laws have different authorities who have different historical predispositions and interpretations of the law. Hence, it would be almost next to impossible to enforce legal requirements across all entities.
· Issue # 5 – The Lack of A Level Playing Field is Not Healthy for Development of Industry: Fifth, consistent application of the regulatory norms is not possible as mentioned above and this is not healthy for the development of an industry, such as micro-finance. For example, standardised (prudential) norms regarding various operational aspects and/or characteristics of MFIs cannot be uniformly promulgated, as they would not be applicable for certain types of legal forms. This includes norms for governance, MIS, internal controls, internal audits, portfolio management, accounting methods and standards, capital adequacy and several other issues.
Third, I list some of the initial regulatory lessons from the present crisis…for all of you to ponder and will post on this in greater detail later…
Lesson # 1: Multiple Regulators Can Only Lead to Chaos and Confusion on the Ground
Lesson # 2: Self-Regulation Does Not and Will Not Work on The Ground
Lesson # 3: A Hands-Off Regulatory Approach Could Lead An Industry to A Serious
Lesson # 4: Well Meaning Regulation is of No Real Use if Not Backed By Appropriate
Lesson # 5: Balance in Regulation is Critical, Otherwise Regulation Could Cripple The
Industry. Therefore Regulation Must Also Seek To Enable and Incentivise
Rather Than Just Enforce…
Lesson # 6: Regulation Must First and Foremost Provide Legitimacy for The Industry
Lesson # 7: Regulation Must Have Certain Non-Negotiables Including Minimum Standards for
Governance, Client Protection, Various Systems, Portfolio Management
(Lending and Recovery Aspects Included) etc
Have a Great Weekend Folks!

Just got back a few hours ago from an amazing weekend up in Berkeley seeing all my girls! I had such a blast and there will be lots of pictures to come! It’s so weird because driving up with Mal I felt like we were just going back to school. It seemed so normal to be up there and it was so great to see everyone. While I’m happy with where I am right now I definitely miss college (esp bc of the ones still up there!) I hope everyone had a great weekend. It felt very much like fall and I love that!

The kitchen is getting more and more practical every day. With all the cool technological developments over the recent years, you can find just about anything you want or need to make cooking and baking a lot easier. Now you can find small appliances to mix, bake, chop, brew, stir, and just about any other task you want or need. We have found ten of the neatest small appliances for your kitchen that all make sense, so take a look at what they are and maybe you’ll see a few you could use in your own kitchen.
Breville BTM800XL One-Touch Tea Maker
Yes, there are a lot of coffee lovers out there, but in the south, I’d say there are just as many tea drinkers. More and more we are hearing how good tea is for us and people are starting to take their tea seriously. In the past, tea making could be a little time consuming, especially for iced tea, but with all the technology, even tea brewing has become quicker and easier. The Breville BTM800XL is a one-touch brewer that just like coffee makers, you can set this to brew your tea at a certain time in the morning so you wake up to a fresh pot of Green tea, black, herbal, and many more. You can customize it to brew your favorite tea any time.
Cozyna Air Fryer
Fried foods are so delicious. We love them, but we also know how bad eating too much fried food is for us. Not to mention, it’s a messy job, frying chicken in your kitchen. Cozyna has a small, and very cool air fryer that literally fries up just about anything you want fried, from chicken, to french fries, to just about anything you can think of. It only requires about a tablespoon of oil, if you want to add it, and you get the same fried taste and effect without all the fat. Oh, and it can roast and bake, too. What a healthy way to cook!
The steam oven is another small appliance that gives you a healthier way to cook and eat.

Popcake Pancake Maker
Now this is cool! For all you pancake lovers, this is something worth looking at for your kitchen.

No one. So here’s a small pancake appliance that can make making pancakes faster and easier, and you can adjust the size of the pancakes to make them your perfect size.
Stirring pots of chili, potatoes, or anything that can be hard to stir or requires lots of time stirring can not only be hard on the wrist, time consuming, or take time away from other tasks you need to be doing. One of the best small appliances for the kitchen is the automatic pot stirrer and they’ve become a popular selling item. Simply attach the arms to the pot, turn it on the speed you need, and get busy doing what you need to be doing without worrying that your pot isn’t getting the stirring attention it needs.
Air Fryer Toaster Oven
The Air Fryer Toaster Oven is a multi-function appliance that takes the guesswork out of things like frying chicken wings, nuggets, vegetables and much more. The 1800 watt fan, motor and heater deliver even heat throughout to braise, slow cook, air fry or however you need to use it.

My first guest blogger (ever) is Mitch Teemley. He’s a Christ follower, a filmmaker, and a story teller extraordinaire. The daily posts on his blog “The Power of Story,” whether inspirational (like this one) or just plain funny, combine hilarious visuals with outstanding writing, and they always make me smile. I know they’ll make you smile, too! I definitely recommend following Mitch!
Family. A mixture of people we get and don’t get. People we like, and people we would never have chosen to be with if we had a choice. But we don’t. Because they’re family. Right?
I haven’t seen my cousin Ralph in 50 years. The moment he hit his teens he chose to stop attending family gatherings. Why? His sister tells me it’s because he feels he has nothing in common with any of us; we’re just a bunch of strangers he was randomly thrown together with at birth. Funny thing is, before he disappeared, Ralph was the only person in the family I related to; he was the person most like me.
I was a smidge more loyal. I never actually stopped attending family gatherings. However, by the time I was a teenager I’d decided my friends, the people I chose, were far more important than a random…

Kicking off in the U.S. on Sept. 8, the ‘Farewell Yellow Brick Road’ tour will consist of more than 300 shows across five continents, hitting North America, Europe, Asia, South America and Australia before reaching its conclusion in 2021. The dates mark the end of half a century on the road for the pop icon.
“Performing live fuels me and I’m ecstatic and humbled to continue to play to audiences across the globe,” John said in a statement. “I plan to bring the passion and creativity that has entertained my fans for decades to my final tour. After the tour finishes, I’m very much looking forward to closing off that chapter of my life by saying farewell to life on the road. I need to dedicate more time to raising my children.”
You can watch the livestream of John’s announcement and hear him perform “Tiny Dancer” and “I’m Still Standing” at this link.

An Analytical Network Process (ANP) was created to test the Lean and BIM concepts with data collected from U.S. companies to find the success factors of the Lean/BIM framework. After an extensive literature review, a total of 17 sub-categories for Lean/BIM are classified into three clusters, namely Communication, Production, and Visualization. An ANP network is then established to station the links between the attributes of the framework while computing their importance weights. Eight experienced civil engineers took part in the questionnaire study to assess the relations between the attributes. The main purpose of this study is to reveal the synergy between Lean and BIM with different components reflecting this synergy and present the Lean and BIM synergy on a comprehensive model. The results indicate that Production is the prominent cluster and Production Control, Standardization and Information accuracy are the most important factors in the Lean/BIM synergy. To validate the model, five construction projects were selected to test and observe the results accordingly. The study is expected to help construction industry leaders set their priorities, benefit more from the interaction between Lean and BIM, and revise their strategies accordingly. This study identifies Lean/BIM categories and subcategories as a roadmap for research and implementation. In this context, the study reveals the relationship between the categories/subcategories along with the weights and most and less important categories for Lean/BIM implementation and research.

Before we tell you, San Francisco, what the best date bars are, let us tell you what a date is! It's not dragging a woman to hang out with your friends at Bender's (that's icky!). It's not consuming a burrito and a bottle of Odwalla Superfood whilst sitting on the sidewalk in the Mission (done that twice!). It's not taking that twink you met on Grindr to Blackbird (he's looking for a husband!). A date is an nerve-wracking occasion to get to know a potential paramour in a quiet, subjectively romantic spot where just the two of you can talk and, if all goes well, neck. Granted, a date can lead to symptoms of both adulthood and intimacy—two issues that rub many a San Francisco Peter Pan Syndrome sufferer the wrong way—but a necessary one. And with that, here are the top San Francisco bars in which to bring a date.
THE EMPRESS OF CHINA: This sixth floor view lounge overlooking Chinatown and North Beach is criminally underpopulated. By which we mean it feels like walking into a meeting of the Hong Kong triads every time we visit. Use this to your advantage and you'll have the place all to yourselves once the mob bosses depart for their safehouses. (We assume.) Add to the intrigue by bringing your date through the China Trade Center import store just off Portsmouth Square. Head straight to the back, past the tea sets and the Samurai swords and take the elevator to the top, where you'll be greeted by a balcony lined with fishtanks and a bartender who makes some of the most mediocre (but effective) martinis in town. Stumble out through the lobby on Grant Street and snicker at the photo gallery of famous Empress patrons — all of whom were probably up to dirtier business than the two of you.
The Empress of China is located at 838 Grant Avenue; 415-434-1345
TWO SISTERS BAR AND BOOKS: With an unfussy cocktail list and wines by the carafe, the cozy space feels as though it was dreamed up as the perfect spot to have a few casual drinks over simple plates of food that won't get embarrassingly stuck in your teeth. You might even forget for a moment that you're just off the busy stretch of Hayes Valley where every storefront is romantically lit from above by a tree full of Christmas lights. Added bonus: nearby dessert options abound. The drawback? The word is out and competition for the precious few bar stools and tables can induce unnecessary pre-date anxiety. Pro-tip: Grab a seat early. Not only will your punctuality impress your potential mate, but you'll also get a chance to calm those nerves with a rye Manhattan.
Two Sisters Bar and Books is located at 579 Hayes Street (at Laguna), S.F.; 415-863-3655
The Residence (photo: Alexander K./Yelp)
THE RESIDENCE: Tucked around the corner from the hustle of Churchill, The Residence has a reputation amongst locals in the know. It will get you laid. A special kind of classy comfort stems from this spot's red wallpaper, vaguely Victorian parlor room furnishings and accomplished but unpretentious cocktail list. And no matter the night, the Residence always seems to have the right amount of people: enough to make you feel like you're out at a bar, but few enough to guarantee a spot to sit and have a decent conversation with your date. Word to the wise: it's cash only and last call always seems to come too soon.
The Residence is located at 718 - 14th Street (between Market & Church), S.F.; 415-797-8866
Hotel Biron (photo: Google)
HOTEL BIRON: Not a hotel, Biron is tucked away on the same block as Zuni. It's a narrow space ideal for intimate conversation, replete with copper tables, wrought-iron bistro chairs and "zinc-green" walls boasting revolving exhibitions of local art. But the real draw is the wine. Biron features an extensive wine list with selections from French and Californian vineyards (with a strong emphasis on award-winning reds.) Best of all, it can be found on a quaint and quiet alleyway just off Market Street. Charmant.
Hotel Biron is located at 45 Rose (at Gough), S.F.; 415-703-0403
The View at the Marriott (photo: DavityDave)
THE VIEW AT THE MARRIOTT HOTEL: In-the-know Don Juans and Don Juanitas around town have always kept this one in their back pockets, and with good reason. The hidden away, tourist-approved lounge inside the jukebox crown of the Marriott does, in fact, have spectacular views. Find yourself a nook with couple of chairs, and the dimly lit corners of this place, pressed up against the glass and overlooking every angle of the city, can become ideal spots for canoodling. You may come up for air whilst making out to find a real housewife of Topeka giving you a sidelong glance while she is also quietly enjoying the view, but no matter. Give her a wink. Ask her to join in. This is San Francisco! Yes, the carpeting is tacky and the drinks are sub-par and overpriced, but if you stick to the basics (Manhattans, gin and tonics, etc.) you should be okay.
The View is located on the 39th Floor of the Marriott Hotel at 55 4th Street; 415-896-1600
We also asked readers to give us their favorite date bar, which you can find on our Facebook page.Two Sisters Bar and Books (photo: Facebook)

When your mobile app makes a REST call to your server/API, the data request is sent to Radware Bot Manager connector integrated at your Origin/Web server. In parallel, Radware Bot Manager SDK asynchronously collects data and sends to Radware Bot Manager bot engine for analysis. Data consists of device details (characteristics, orientation & acceleration) and behavioral details (events: buttons clicked, ads clicked, articles read/shared/liked, comments posted, screens viewed, purchases made, levels completed etc.,) based on your business logic from the interactions of the user with your Mobile App.
Radware Bot Manager connector sends the data to the Radware bot engine via Radware Bot Manager endpoint (deployed across the world using the global load balancer for minimal latency).Radware bot engine analyses the data from the endpoint and responds with appropriate action to humans and bots.
Your origin/web server either sends the requested App data to the user or challenge with CAPTCHA or block the page based on the response from Radware Bot Manager. Radware Bot Manager SDK has the capability to render in-app CAPTCHA / Block page.
You have to be in 'Active mode' for receiving response codes for CAPTCHA/Block by configuring the responses for different categories of bad bots in 'Bot response page' in Radware Bot Manager portal.Radware Bot Manager recommends to handle empty data when the user solves the CAPTCHA.
If required, Radware bot engine can also be configured to send response code (CAPTCHA / Block) directly to Radware Bot Manager SDK.

c. Add the following dependencies to your app-level build.gradle file. This dependency is to add Cookie storing capability to your App ( if it doesn't have already) to help Radware Bot Manager to set four first-party cookies to identify patterns of the user interactions.
The above code will intercept all responses received by the retrofit engine, enables cookie setting on the app and takes action based on the response from the Server.
c. To collect events data, insert below analytics snippet whenever there is an event triggered in your app (Eg: App open, User signed in, Pages/screens viewed, an article read/liked/shared/commented, app version updated etc.,). Radware Bot Manager collects the events data in a batch process in fixed time intervals.

Hunter's Moon (Chapter 23)
I tried to get up, but Damien held on. He was taller than me and a whole lot stronger. Besides, it was hard to fight someone while buck naked and sexually languid. Though my head said run, my body said walk, or perhaps lie here and do it again.
"Let me go."
"No." He continued to rub my back. Fingers drifting along my scar, thumbs sliding against my spine. One movement relaxed me; the other made me want to jump out of my skin.
"Why are you embarrassed by this?" he murmured.
I didn't answer, couldn't speak. My eyes burned and my throat went tight. The scar would forever remind me that I had been the one to bring disaster down on everyone I loved.
It was fitting that Hector had made me as ugly outside as I was inside. What kind of woman slept with one man when she was engaged to another?
That was a rhetorical question. I can spell slut as well as the next guy.
When I got up, Damien let me go. When I went to get my clothes, he followed. I tensed, expecting him to touch me again. Instead, he kissed me – right on my scar.
I spun around and slapped him. The sound of the blow was crisp in the silence of the early morning. A red slash rose on the pale skin of his cheek.
"I'm sorry," I whispered, horrified that I'd struck him.
He ignored my apology, ignored what I'd done, what I'd said, to take me in his arms and lay his palms all over my back again.
"Do you think this makes you ugly?"
"I don't need a scar for that."
His eyebrows lifted and he tilted his head.
I pulled out of his embrace. I'd said too much. I had to get out of here before I blabbed every secret in my head.
I put on my pants, reached for my shirt, and his fingers circled my wrist. "Leigh, talk to me. I'd like to understand."
His gentle voice did me in. Tears seeped from my eyes. I had to make them stop. Big, bad werewolf hunters did not cry. Petite, blond girlie-girls did. They also got their families murdered before their eyes while powerless to do anything about it. I was no longer that girl; I was the hunter.
I tore away from his touch, threw on my shirt, and ran out of the bar, then up the stairs.
Once in my room I shut and locked the door. I was alone. I should be happy. Instead, the sadness, the loneliness, pressed at me.
I needed to see Jimmy. To remember what it had felt like to love and then lose him.
"I can't live through that again," I whispered.
I was tearing through my suitcase, tossing clothes onto the floor, desperate to find the only snapshot I'd kept of him, when the door behind me clicked open.
I spun around. Damien stood in the doorway. There was a key in the lock.
"You can't just come in here."
My brave words would have sounded better without the tears on my face and the wobble in my voice.
He removed the key, tucked it into his pocket, and closed the door.
"Talk to me," he repeated.
He was half-naked again – loose black pants, no shirt, no shoes. He'd get very little service here.
"You think you're ugly because of a scar. You don't know what ugly is."
Actually, I did. I'd been killing it for two years now. But I couldn't share that with him any more than I could share anything else.
"There's such ugliness in this world, Leigh. So much sadness, so much loneliness. I've seen some pretty awful things, moving around like I do. Met some truly ugly people."
He thought I was upset because I was maimed. I was, but not because of the mark, because of what it represented. Hector was coming back for me. It was only a matter of time. And if Damien was in his way, he'd end up just like Jimmy.
"This can't happen again," I blurted.
Only a foot away, he reached out and yanked me against him. Shocked, I let him.
He kissed me – mouth open, tongue searching, teeth clashing.
Lifting his head, he murmured, "You mean that?"
"Maybe it can't, but it will. You know it, and I know it. I can't stop touching you. You can't stop wanting me to."
I'd have accused him of being arrogant if he hadn't been right. Which only made me more panicked.
More frightened. More desperate.
"No." I shoved him away with both hands to his chest. He barely moved.
Grabbing my forearms, he dragged me onto my tiptoes. With my feet off the ground and my hands captured I could do nothing but stare at him.
"Yes," he insisted, and his eyes deepened from hazel to brown. "You want this to be just sex? Fine. It's just sex. If that's all you can give me, then that's what I'll take."
He licked a tear from my cheek. I shuddered as my body cried out for his. "Damien – "
He kissed me again. This time I straggled. He was right. I wanted him beyond all reason, and that terrified me.
The door crashed open. Suddenly Damien was gone. I stumbled and nearly fell. Then I could only watch as Will socked Damien in the jaw.
I opened my mouth to shout, "No," but Damien's fist shot out almost too fast to see. It was certainly too fast to avoid. Will's chin snapped back.
The two shook their heads like dogs who'd been doused in water, then circled each other.
I took a step forward just as Will did some fancy Oriental round kick. Damien caught Will's foot right before it connected with his nose. I blinked, impressed. Then Damien shoved and Will tumbled to the floor.
I grabbed Damien's arm. He shook me off. His face was set, his eyes wild. This was not good.
Will flipped from his back onto his feet in a lithe gym-nastic movement. He jabbed, feinted, and knocked Damien's legs out from under him.
Damien went down hard. Will advanced, lip raised in a semisnarl. What was the matter with these guys?
They were no better than animals. I jumped on Will's back.
"Stop," I panted.
Will kept going, and I cocked my arm around his throat, tightened just a little. He choked and froze, giving Damien a chance to get to his feet. He appeared extremely pissed.
Jessie chose that moment to walk in my door. "What the – ?"
She yanked me off the boyfriend by my hair – a neat trick, considering the length of it.
I'd known we'd go round and round; I just hadn't expected it to be like this. We were adults, law enforcement officials, comrades in arms. We shouldn't be screeching and scratching and fighting like girls.
But we were.
I was angry – at myself, the world, you name it. She was pretty mad, too. I guess I couldn't blame her.
She'd seen me jump on her boyfriend and try to choke him. What did I expect? A present?
What I got was a scratched cheek, a bruised wrist, and a kick in the shin. The last really hurt.
"Bitch!" I snarled, and I went for her eyes with my thumbs. Someone hauled me back.
Jessie came after me with her hands crooked into claws. Will caught her around the waist. The two of them crashed to the floor and rolled around.
I was having enough trouble of my own. An iron band was choking off my air. I glanced down and recognized Damien's arm. He was holding me off the ground. I was kicking him in the knee.
"Relax, Leigh. Calm down."
"Easy for you to say," I wheezed.
He kissed my neck, just below my ear. "Hush," he whispered, and amazingly, I wanted to.
I went limp in his arms and he set my feet back on the floor.
"Let me go," I demanded.
"I don't think so."
He kept his arm around my waist, though he loosened his grip so I could breathe. My entire back was pressed to his front, and he appeared awful glad to see me. No wonder he didn't want to let me go. In those pants of his, everyone would know how very much he liked me.
Jessie was still cursing, so Will sat on her. "Jeez, Jess, if you're gonna have a catfight, at least tear off some clothes, fall in a lake."
"Find a vat of Jell-O," Damien muttered.
Will glanced at him and smirked. "Exactly. Make it worth our while."
I frowned. The two of them had been bent on killing each other only moments before; now they were pals?
Jessie and I exchanged glances. "Men," we said at the same time, with the same disgusted inflection.
They ignored us.
"I take it you know Leigh," Will said.
"And you appear on good terms with the sheriff."
"I thought you were hurting her," Will explained.
"We were having a minor disagreement. I appreciate your taking care of her."
"Her is right here," I growled. "And she can take care of herself."
"Of course she can," Damien said easily, and released me.
I spun around with narrowed eyes. His words had sounded suspiciously patronizing. The red mark on his jaw made all the fight drain out of me. I wanted to touch him, to hold him. Behavior from days gone by when I'd been a nurturer and a caregiver. I was neither any longer, so I tucked my hands into my pockets and turned away.
Jessie tried to throw Will off her back but had no luck. "Get off me, Cadotte; you weigh a ton."
"You promise to play nice?"
"That's what I thought."
He got off her anyway.
Jessie bounced to her feet and sent me a glare. I raised my hands. "I surrender."
"Good. I don't want to give the two of them any more stiffies." She lowered her gaze to Damien's pants.
"Although he doesn't seem to need any help." Her eyes flicked to me. "What have you been up to?"
"Jess, mind your own business," Will said.
"She is my business."
Jessie ignored me. "Who the hell are you, Fitzgerald? Where did you come from?"
"You're working for cash. That's illegal."
Damien held out his wrists. "Arrest me."
Jessie's lips tightened. "Maybe later."
He turned his attention to me. "You had her check me out?"
I shrugged. "Better safe than sorry."
"And what did you find?"
"Not one damn thing," Jessie interjected. "No one's that perfect. You've got secrets, Fitzgerald, and I want to know what they are."
"Get in line," he muttered.
The room went silent. Jessie glared at Damien. I glared at Jessie. Damien glared at me. Will was the only one who didn't seem upset. Anymore.
"So where did you study?" Will asked.
Damien blinked and turned to him. "Study what?"
"The school of hard knocks."
"You've never had formal training?" Will appeared shocked. "I've been doing tai chi for quite a few years.
You're as quick as anyone I've ever seen."
Damien didn't elaborate. Another little secret to add to the pile. I couldn't throw stones. I wasn't going to tell him about my past, either.
"What are you two doing here?" I asked.
The last time I'd seen them they'd been fighting. Right about now they should be… making up.
"I had a call from Elwood," Jessie said.
For a minute I had no idea who she was talking about. Then I remembered Elwood was the deputy.
Jessie had given him the picture of Hector. If Elwood had called, then –
The blood drained from my face and I swayed.
"Leigh!" Damien caught me, but I shoved him away.
"I'm all right."
Jessie and Will were staring at me as if I'd sprouted two heads. "What's the matter with you?" she demanded. "We need to check out a new wolf kill. I can't have you puking in the bushes on the way."
"Wolf kill?" I said faintly.
"Yes. Elwood came across – " She broke off and glanced at Damien. "You mind?"
"Uh… no. Sure." He squeezed my shoulders. "I've got to get some sleep." He kissed my forehead and I resisted the urge to cling. "I'll see you later."
The sound of his footsteps clattering down the steps receded far too quickly. Why I suddenly associated Damien with safety I wasn't sure, but I needed to stop. The only person I could depend on was myself –
and maybe Edward.
"Elwood didn't recognize Hector?" I blurted.
"What?" Jessie had been scowling at the door. "Oh, that's why you went white. I haven't shown him the picture yet. I was going to when we reached the site."
Will sighed. "Sorry, Leigh. Jess gets focused on one thing, to the exclusion of all else. She didn't mean to scare you."
Obviously Jessie had told Will about Hector. Or at least as much as she knew.
"I can apologize for myself." Jessie glanced at me. "I wasn't thinking."
I shrugged. It wasn't her fault I was crippled by the thought of Hector Menendez anywhere near me.
"You think this guy could be the one we're looking for?" Will asked.
"I don't know."
"Who else could it be?" Jessie demanded. "Herman is Hector. He's a cannibalistic serial killer. Hector is the white wolf."
"I don't know if the white wolf I saw was Hector. I never got close enough to see this one's eyes.
Besides, I've seen white wolves before when they weren't really there." I frowned. "Just not lately."
"He's here," Jessie said.
"But – "
"No buts. He's here somewhere. We're going to find him and cut out the bastard's heart."
"She likes you," Will murmured. "I can tell." Jessie gave him a narrow-eyed glare before returning her attention to me. "You're not crazy, Leigh, not anymore." I wished I could be as certain of that as she was.

Elitism in art has always amused me. A lot of artists are annoyed nowadays that platforms like Insta juxtapose what’s considered “real” art against amateur (and sometimes, more popular) art. The truth is that a lot of artists like to consider themselves as “true” artists. Specific types of art are held in contempt. There’s so much hierarchy that’s crept in. Many years ago a highly acclaimed artist told me that my work was drab and I realized it was because he only considered his style of work as true art. But isn’t it cool to celebrate and appreciate the diversity of creative output? People drawing on their phones, on tablets, on paper, detailed work, spontaneous work, trained artists, accidental artists, ‘just having fun’ artists. It’s an incredible community.
At the end of the day all creators are just people like you and me trying to do something with their lives. I’ve often been asked for advice to artists/creators and I have this to say — do what is honest and what feels right to you. It doesn’t matter whether people praise it or diss it, as long as it makes you feel fulfilled. What someone calls gallery-worthy might be forgettable for others.
You only have one life to live and if you feel like creating a piece of art that makes you feel good (or makes someone else feel good), go ahead and do it. Whether it’s drawing stick people or intricate patterns, watercolour landscapes or digital art, don’t let someone else’s opinion affect what you have to contribute to the world.

Although this isn’t officially a “column,” we all love lists, right? David Letterman has made a career of it, so I figure I can make a blog post out of it. Think about the greatest day of the preseason – Pitchers and Catchers! We all look forward to the day when the flame throwers report to see who will become their little buddy calling the plate and sending the signals. Pity that the pitchers get all the credit because when you think the greatest catchers – Bench, Pudge – these are guys who called a game as masterful as the guy who threw it.
Think of your MLB team. Consider your ace. Does he have a favorite catcher? He should, as have many pitchers before him. Today, as we approach the glorified postseason, have you considered the best batteries – pitcher and catcher duos – in baseball today?
Before we step in the batter’s box for today’s Hit List, here’s some bar room trivia for you: Battery is the age-old term to describe the relationship between a pitcher and a catcher. DYK in military terminology, a “battery” is a group of artillery that delivers missiles to a target – together? Now think about any perfect game or no-hitter…the pitcher and catcher do it together with aim, precision and explosion.
5. R.A. Dickey & J.P. Arencibia – Before R.A. Dickey was up for Cy Young consideration in New York, he was a beleaguered fan favorite in the great state of Texas. This was sans knuckleball (and confidence). Everyone loved the guy because of his work ethic. R.A. Dickey was a work horse at his craft but it never quite clicked. In his five years with the Rangers, Dickey hurled 266 innings and secured a not-so-much ERA of 6.23 (largely thanks to his injury plagued year of 2006 where he was honored with a crap 18.9 ERA). Then Seattle. Then Minnesota. And then paydirt at Citi Field. Now that he has north of the border, he needed a catcher that understood the laziest pitch in baseball, next to the near mentally challenged Eephus. And so the story goes Arencibia offered to play catch with Dickey – with no cup, and I’m not talking coffee at Starbucks. Moral of the story: Trust a man with your nuts and he will trust you with his balls.
4. Stephen Strasburg & Wilson Ramos – Remember that Cubs pitcher? I believe his name was Greg Maddox. Dude had more control over his pitches than a porn addict surfing the Web at a hotel, and only checking sports. Although “personal catchers” have been traced back to 1966, pitchers and catchers have found success in pairs as long as baseball has been. Maddox found his battery mate in Eddie Perez, whom without Maddox may have best known as an overnight stocker at the local Kroger store. Enter Stephen Strasburg and the revolving door this NL East torchbearer sees as catchers. A recent story in the Washington Post asked the same question: “Does Strasburg Need a Personal Catcher?” In 52 starts, Strasburg has had seven catchers, and the best without question is Ramos who has provided the ace with a 1.80 ERA. Like Maddox, the answer is ‘Yes’. You know, to whatever he wants.
3. Justin Verlander & Alex Avila – This is an admirable pitcher and catcher duo, because you would think Verlander could make a monkey look good behind the plate. He’s pretty much the best arm on the planet but the 26-year-old Avila calls a great game and isn’t starstruck who is throwing a 99-mph fastball straight at his crotch. While Joe Mauer of the Twins is definitely the premier backstop in the AL Central (if not, one of the best in the American League), name the pitcher who compares to Verlander in that division. Yeah, can’t do it. They won the Cy Young…together. Ask Justin, he’ll tell you that too. This is a pitcher and catcher duo that rely upon each other the way Doc Gooden counted on Gary Carter. Maybe not that way but you get the idea.
2. Adam Wainwright & Yadier Molina – I hate these guys. I should just end it right there. Why? My Texas Rangers lost its World Series dreams thanks to the St. Louis Cardinals, but I’ll be impartial…kinda. Wainwright is known for being a horse – a guy who can pitch all nine innings and still have something in the tank. Yes, his arm is made from titanium but also Molina, and his All-Star big brain, can call a smart game and maximize Wainwright’s arm. Yadier Molina can do it all behind the plate – block, frame, judge, throw. Name it and there’s a highlight out there with Yadier Molina doing it. Add to that Wainwright is coming back from Tommy John, and you have a man that needs his pitcher versus just wants a pitcher. That’s a battery.
1. Buster Posey & Matt Cain – I realize I twisted the order here, but come on, it’s Buster Posey. In 2012, Matt Cain added a perfect game under his belt. Guess who called it? Posey. Most pitchers would have thanked a spouse, a deity or even a coach. Cain? He thanked Posey. He said, “I can’t thank Buster enough. I didn’t even question once what he was calling.” During the perfect game, Cain knew if chicks weren’t going to dig the long ball, dudes would dig the fast ball. Catching a perfect game is just as rare as throwing one. Think about Carlton Fisk: his longevity included more than 2,200 games and he didn’t catch one perfect game. Posey was the NL MVP in 2012. He is one of the best catchers in the game. And he makes his pitchers some of the best as well.

What A Trump Victory Means For The ACA's Future
Tuesday's presidential election results are a sign the Affordable Care Act could be repealed or rolled back. But that won't happen quickly, and how it will change isn't known.
House Republicans have voted numerous times to repeal the ACA, an initiative out of President Barack Obama's administration. At each turn the Republicans were blocked, said House Speaker Paul Ryan at a press conference Wednesday.
"Problem is, President Obama vetoed it," Ryan said. "Now we have President Trump coming who is asking us to do this. So with unified Republican government we can fix this. We can fix these problems."
Premiums for Wisconsin health plans sold on the federal exchange went up an average of 16 percent this year. Eighty-five percent of the people using the exchanges get federal subsidies to help pay for the health insurance.
With a Republican majority in the United States Congress, subsidies and other ACA funding could be withheld, said Donna Friedsam, University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute health policy director.
"They could also end the cost sharing reductions that are available to help people pay for their deductibles and co-payments. They could end the taxes (taxes on expensive Cadillac health plans; taxes on medical devices) that are imposed on various entities to help support funding for the Affordable Care Act, and they could end the mandate that requires people to purchase health insurance," Friedsam said.
Across the country, more than 20 million people have received health coverage because of the ACA. Suddenly taking away insurance could create a backlash among consumers. It could also increase unpaid bills at hospitals. Uncompensated care at Wisconsin hospitals has dropped 36 percent from 2013 levels, largely due to the ACA.
Trump wants to get rid of the personal mandate requiring everyone to have health insurance and create high risk pools for those who can't get it because of their poor health. He also supports tax-free health savings accounts and favors selling insurance across state lines to increase competition. But insurers can already do this in some states, and it hasn't reigned in costs.
These or other changes won't happen overnight, Friedsam said. That's important, she said, for people to know because signup for coverage on HealthCare.gov is underway.
"Nothing is going away," Friedsam said. "And it will continue to be here just as it was yesterday through the calendar year 2017 at least. And that's very important for people to understand."
The ACA is in place. For now.

As a Jane Austen scholar, I get to go to some pretty incredible libraries—The Huntington Library in San Marino, California, The Morgan Library in New York City, The British Library in London, the Chawton House Library at Jane Austen’s “Great House” in Chawton among them. But an amazing library with Austen riches in Beverly Hills? Yes, believe it or not, there is one. I spent several happy days there researching for my book, The Making of Jane Austen (2017). The glamour quotient of that trip might seem lower to you, however, when you learn that I arrived via city bus.
It was a pretty great bus ride, all in all. The bus inches along Sunset Boulevard (yes, that Sunset Boulevard) to a stop at Vine (and yes, that Vine!), passing Chateau Marmont and some seriously upscale shopping. I felt pretty much the opposite of the beautiful people, carrying an enormous computer bag, wearing a dowdy sweater, and facing the prospect of spending several sunny California days entirely indoors. For a library rat, it’s absolutely worth it.
The Margaret Herrick Library, also known as the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Library, or the Oscars Library, holds countess papers and files that document Jane Austen’s afterlife in Hollywood. I made an appointment to see their unpublished materials on the making of MGM’s Pride and Prejudice (1940), that much loved or hated (and sometimes both loved and hated!) film starring Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennet and Laurence Olivier as Mr. Darcy. I knew from the online catalog that the library held production files, publicity photographs, and many scripts, but I had little idea what was in them. Only a handful of scholars had ever described this material. Even those few treated these materials rather briefly. I figured that even if it turned out to be a lot of junk, I could describe that. I needed to see it all for myself, in order to cover the stage-performance-turned-into-early-film part of Austen’s afterlife.
Arriving at the Herrick Library turns out to be a rather grand event. The place may look like a church, but it’s locked down like a bank. I had my identity checked by the security guard, stowed most of my possessions in a locker, noticed the familiar names engraved on the walls, walked up the staircase, checked in with the librarian, and found a desk. Then I got my first look at the files. I started with the glossy, black-and-white publicity stills for Pride and Prejudice taken by MGM. There were hundreds of gorgeous shots. Unfortunately, researchers aren’t allowed to take their own photographs of anything at the Herrick, even for personal research purposes. The library also has a strict policy on the small number of paid photocopies a researcher is allowed per year. This is a big scholar-bummer, but knowing those constraints made me focus differently. These images are still seared into my memory, because it seemed my only option.
The shots of the set were stunning. To see them up close made me reimagine the amount of expense and care that went into designing details large and small, from the walls to the furniture to the props. The photographs of the cast wearing those oh-so-wrong Victorian costumes were also riveting, even if they are cringe-worthy examples of historical research gone wrong. It was clear from the production files that the costumers thought that lumping together fashions from 1810s, 1820s, 1830s or even the 1840s couldn’t make all that much difference. (One wonders how any Hollywood costume designer thinking through the amount of fashion change that was seen from through 1910s, 1920s, and 1930s could possibly think so.)
What I remember best from the production photographs, however, are the casual shots taken on set during filming. There was an arresting photograph of Judy Garland “stopping by” oh-so-casually—and coincidentally with a photographer on hand!—to visit Garson in her Pride and Prejudice dressing room. Another photo shows Garson reading an enormous nineteenth-century volume—a book prop—between takes, as she sits on a director’s chair near the set’s unintentionally hilarious “Rare Books” storefront. I suppose one could argue all books were rare in the eighteenth century, when buying even one volume was something out of the reach of most regular people, but “rare books” was not yet a commercial term.
A photograph of the outdoor table from the film’s famous archery scene between Elizabeth and Darcy shows that someone had delicately taped over a naked putto’s nether regions. A casual photo of Garson in costume as Elizabeth, getting an archery lesson from a man in a white undershirt, was terribly funny in its sartorial and historical contrast. A shot of Olivier and Garson in costume, receiving dance instruction from a modern-dress husband-wife team, was similarly amusing but at the same time surprisingly moving. A dedication to the study of movement—for teachers and students—was well captured in this photo.
Another shot of two men, Olivier, dressed as Darcy, and the film’s director, Robert “Pop” Leonard, in his Colonel Sanders-like outfit, playing badminton together in between outdoor takes was priceless. A shot of the English members of the cast, in a down moment, enjoying a tea break, seemed both staged and true-to-life. It made visible the trans-Atlantic elements of the production very clearly, too.
But the best photo of all is one of the Bennet sisters posed at the edge of the set. The five actors are standing together, in a costumed line, in front of doors with signs above them. The doors presumably lead to a women’s dressing room. The largest sign reads, “Thru These Portals Pass the Most Beautiful Girls in Meryton,” with smaller letters below that warn, “Positively No Admission,” and “The Little Girls Club.” There is also an obscured notice that seems to advertise an on-set knitting club.
The photos definitely whetted my appetite to learn more about the making of this film, but it was the typescript files that turned out to be an absolute feast. I moved from the production stills to the print files. I knew the rough outlines of the agonizingly slow play-to-film journey of MGM’s Pride and Prejudice, which had its start in Helen Jerome’s 1935 Broadway hit play and was rewritten by a series of screenwriters for Hollywood. It’s a story that has been told many times before, and I won’t repeat that five-year odyssey here, except to say that it involved not only predictable casting changes but a premature and unexpected death. (If you want to learn about why the story of Harpo Marx’s role in it all is greatly exaggerated, you’ll have to check out my book.)
What I got to read in those Herrick Library script files were drafts that few have had a chance to digest before. There were dozens of Pride and Prejudice screenplays—“failed” scripts–with Austen-inspired scenes and dialogue never brought to life. Some of these scripts were truly dreadful. It was all I could do to stifle my laughter as I read these preposterous scenarios, from the full-on mud-splashings proposed for Elizabeth and Darcy (two different versions had each of them successively doused in mud) to the heart-of-gold neighborhood gypsy named Tony. Obviously, though, laughing out loud would not have been okay, as sounds of any kind are frowned upon in libraries in general. The Herrick especially inspires silence and awe, with its spotless, white Bob Hope Lobby and its elegant, olive-green Katharine Hepburn Reading Room. I tried to limit myself to broad smirks. Believe me, it was a challenge.
You can read more of the gory details of these ridiculous failed scripts in my book’s chapter seven, but I can’t resist sharing one more tidbit. In one early version of the screenplay, Mr. Darcy, Mr. Bingley, and Colonel Fitzwilliam go off on a crazy bachelor weekend to London. In one of their misadventures, they end up wagering on a dog versus monkey fight. Colonel Fitzwilliam bets on the monkey, but Darcy’s money is on the dog. And it turns out that that bit, at least, was vaguely historically accurate! There was a fighting monkey, Jacco Macacco, that fought in the Westminster Pit in London and was made famous by Pierce Egan in his Life in London (1821). It’s the book that gave rise to the characters Tom and Jerry, so it’s especially amusing to think of Darcy, Bingley, and the Colonel as precursor bro-friends transposed into those roles. Whether you’re a fan of the 1940 Pride and Prejudice or not, the final version of the film will rise in your estimation once you realize just how much worse things might have been.
I also came away from reading these scripts doing more than laughing. Reading them makes one realize how these screenwriters were really in a tough place. They were trying to find—they were no doubt being charged to create—ways to make Austen seem fresh to millions of late 1930s moviegoers who may never have heard of her or who knew of her only glancingly. Screenwriters were throwing whatever they could think of at Pride and Prejudice, including the conventions of Westerns and screwball comedies. In the end, I thought, we should probably be more generous in assessing their attempts, even if you feel, as I do, quite relieved that most of these ideas never saw the screen.
I came away from the library thinking, “Long live Jane Austen in popular culture, whether in Beverly Hills or London or Chawton—whether in enough mud for a full-body wrestling match or with just a few glorious inches of it worn around the ankles—and whether you are cheering for the dog or the monkey.”
P. S. The Herrick Library was very generous with me during my visit, providing access to a lot of material and invaluable research assistance. I’m especially grateful to librarian Jenny Romero, who helped me find just the right things to read. I’m also thankful to the staff there, who never raised their eyebrows too high, even if an audible laugh or two may have escaped from me unawares.

According to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, the Charlotte Hornets are finalizing a multi-year deal with Kelly Oubre Jr.
David Aldridge reported earlier in the night that the two sides were working on a deal, and it appears have progressed quickly.
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the deal is for two years, $26 million and some change.
That salary figure eats all of the Hornets remaining cap space. It’ll be interesting to see how that affects the Hornets pursuit of Lauri Markkanen.
Oubre’s most recent stop was a one year stint with the Warriors, where he averaged 15.4 points per game. He notably had one of the worst 3-point shooting starts to the season the league has ever seen, but he shot a respectable 36% from deep over the final couple months of the season. The year prior, Oubre averaged 18.7 points per game for the Suns.
Oubre adds length and athleticism to a Hornets rotation that badly needed wing depth and also makes the Hornets significantly better-looking as a team.

Toyota is prepared to delay the launch of forthcoming models should it not be completely satisfied with quality and safety standards.
The forthcoming Auris, Auris HSD and Rav4 models, all due for launch in Europe in the first half of this year, will undergo stringent quality testing ahead as part of Toyota’s strict new quality control guidelines, introduced in the wake of its well publicised sticking accelerator pedal faults.
Tadashi Arashima, the chief executive of Toyota Motor Europe, told the Sunday Telegraph that the firm wanted to make sure there were absolutely no faults with any of the new models and Toyota was prepared to postpone the launches if necessary.
In particular, Arashima was keen to see British-built Auris HSD launched “properly” as it is such a key car for the firm.
“We are discussing that, if necessary, we will postpone the launch timing,” he said. “For us there is the hybrid in late May [Auris HSD], which is really key. We want to make sure that this car is properly launched without any major issues."
Although Toyota is prepared to postpone the launch of the new models if necessary, the firm confirmed that development is currently on track and there are currently no plans for to postpone any new launches.
As part of its new quality control systems, Toyota has appointed a chief quality officer for each region where it sells its cars. These officers will report directly to Toyota boss Akio Toyoda and the first meeting is planned for 30 March.
Other plans include the fitting of an aeroplane-style black box recorder to record any malfunctions and a brake override system, which will cut engine power when the accelerator and brake pedals are applied at the same time.

You don’t want to manage your Bitcoins by yourself? We understand you. Here’s a solution for you.
Invest in Bitcoins through a public traded instrument
When bitcoin burst on the scene in 2009, very few people could wrap their minds around the idea of money that exists purely in cyberspace. However, people who have grown wary of the central banks’ control over and manipulation of currencies latched on to it quickly, as did investors looking for ways to diversify their portfolios. As its popularity has grown, bitcoin, which has no central authority, has been used increasingly for international money transfers as well as for everyday commerce. More than 100,000 merchants now accept bitcoin for transactions.

At Fifth and Howard streets in San Francisco sits TechShop, part of a growing franchise made just for makers. TechShop is designed to have the convenience of a corporate gym mixed with the underground hacker mindset. During CNET's visit, an eclectic bunch of members--including policemen, entrepreneurs, and fashionistas--all huddled in the gym-size playground and took prototyping into their own hands.
TechShop, which opened a new location in San Jose, Calif., this past weekend, puts commercial-scale hacker spaces on the map.
CNET recently got a tour of the 15,000-square-foot San Francisco location led by co-founder Jim Newton. Like a gym membership, anyone can pay to play for $99 a month to use milling machines, welding equipment, and other tools like a 3D printer.
Here, Noah Chittim (right) works the front desk. He greeted us before kindly reminding us to wear safety glasses.
Currently, in addition to San Francisco and the new location in San Jose, Calif., TechShops are located in cities including Menlo Park, Calif. and Raleigh, N.C. In five years, Newton hopes to open up hundreds of TechShops around the nation. Next on his list are Brooklyn, N.Y., and Detroit.
Newton says entrepreneurs often just need a place to hash out their ideas. The view isn't too shabby either, as a large glass window overlooks the main lab.
Newton loves talking about the members who made bamboo iPad cases in the wood shop. After a couple of classes, the iPad case entrepreneur built a thousand cases and had $3 million in revenue. Dodocase has expanded its products to include cases for Kindles and other tablets. Newton says the company moved out for more space so it could begin to outsource some of that manual labor.

Live Aid took place 35 years ago today.
Can you believe it?
I was 10 months old so obviously I didn’t make it, but I’m really jealous of Philly sports and music fans who went it down to J.F.K. Stadium to see what might be the best musical lineup to ever share a single stage in this city.
It was a benefit concert, Live Aid, held in both Philadelphia and London, organized to raise money for hunger relief in Africa. The event pulled 72,000 spectators at Wembley and 89,400 in South Philly, while the live broadcast reached almost 2 billion people in 150 countries. Philly later hosted another similar event in 2005, called Live Eight, which was another benefit held on the 20th anniversary of the original gigs.
This lineup was bonkers. Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Phil Collins, Eric Clapton, Judas Priest, Tom Petty, Mick Jagger, and Crosby, Stills, and Nash were all on the bill. Each artist played only a handful of songs before giving the stage to the next act.
I’m told by folks who were there that J.F.K. was something like 95 degrees on that day, just a total scorcher. But I would have braved any degree temperatures to be in the crowd for performances like these:
You lucky bastards. I’m so jealous.

The Washington Post has launched a new section on its Web site, www.washingtonpost.com, which brings together political stories, videos, facts, statistics and photos from around the Web.
The Political Browser is designed to be a hub for readers interested in politics where they can find the news driving the day’s political discussion, as selected by the Post’s political team.
“We’re not simply aggregating news,” said Jim Brady, executive editor of washingtonpost.com, in a statement. “The Political Browser lets readers form a more personal relationship with our political team and see which stories they find the most insightful, provocative or funny.”
Content will include the scoops most likely to shape the week’s political conversation, the day’s worst campaign fumbles and funniest statements, and a side-by-side presentation of the political commentary from the left and the right of the blogosphere.
In additional to the presidential race, the Political Browser will also cover the top news from the congressional and gubernatorial races across the country, paying close attention to what local media has to say in key districts. The Political Browser will continue through the inauguration and beyond.

Our 'Joint School' PTA, established in Autumn 2018, and has been fundamental in organising a whole range of events such as Christmas Discos, Christmas Fairs, Summer Fairs, money raising competitions and lots more!
Our aim is to support both schools as we are one community by generating additional funding the support the children and their learning while at both Featherby Schools.
All of our events over the recent years have been very successful thanks to the incredible community we have here and this has allowed us to kit both school halls out with completely new PA systems including speakers and microphones to support with assemblies, class assemblies and all performances. We have also been able to provide the children with a range of activities and games from breakfast and after school club and a whole range of books for both schools to use as well as helping mark our Year 6 leavers in July 2021 with a fantastic fun festival event. We have also supported the school with purchasing dining equipment and we plan to continue raising money to support the children's learning wherever we can!
If you are interested in exploring how you too can be part of the wonderful work of the PTA, please contact Mr Graham (via Junior School Office) in the first instance.
We can't wait to continue to share all of our successes and events with you in the future!

Jim Stone: How Academic Research Can Address Wealth Concentration and Inequality
- Jim Stone: How Academic Research Can Address Wealth Concentration and Inequality

The Graduate Center announced on Thursday a $9.5 million gift from the James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Foundation, bringing the Stones’ total support for The Graduate Center’s Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality to $14.36 million since 2016. The goal of the Stone Foundation is to promote a more knowledgeable and inclusive society, and as part of the Stones’ commitment to academic research, they support five university-based centers in the United States and one in France.
Jim Stone, who holds a Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University and is the founder and CEO of the Plymouth Rock group of insurance companies, recently spoke to The Graduate Center about the importance of research on rising inequality and wealth concentration, and about how the Stone Center benefits from being a part of The Graduate Center and CUNY:
The Graduate Center: In recent years, both income and wealth have become even more concentrated in the United States. What do you see as the consequences of these trends? Why is wealth concentration, in particular, such a threat to the functioning of democracy?
Stone: The drift of disproportionate asset holdings toward the pinnacles of wealth carries a society away from meritocracy, productivity, empathy, and mobility. Carried far enough in a privately funded political environment, skewness in wealth distribution can ultimately undermine social cohesion and our democratic ideals. Excesses of wealth concentration, which are too seldom studied due to difficulties in measurement, are even more worrisome than income disparities because the inequalities of wealth are so many times greater than those of income. And wealth, more than income, determines socioeconomic class and tends to set up lifetime disparities among people that begin at birth and are hard to overcome. The more a society’s wealth is held tightly in the hands of a few over generations, the less becomes the reward for hard, honest work by everyone else.
GC: When did you first become interested in economic inequality and in supporting academic research as a way to increase awareness of this issue and develop policy solutions? Why is it particularly important for researchers to make data and analysis related to wealth concentration available to the public?
Stone: I have been interested in inclusiveness, fairness, and equity for as long as I remember, but my specific interest in income and wealth inequality took shape when I served as insurance commissioner of Massachusetts in the 1970s. It was in that role that I began to focus systematically on the widening income and wealth gaps in our society. The disparities have only grown wider over the past five decades. Meanwhile, as an economist, I was disappointed to discover how little academic attention was given to addressing the problem, particularly with respect to wealth accumulation. There has been recent improvement in that regard, and I am pleased in particular to see the recent expansion of availability to datasets, but the topic of vastly unequal wealth distribution, its causes and consequences, remains understudied.
GC: How do you think the Stone Center gains from being located within CUNY — the country's largest urban public university — and from The Graduate Center setting?
Stone: CUNY, as a public institution available to all, is in itself a force for greater equality and meritocracy. And CUNY and LIS have already played a leading role in data dissemination and analysis on this topic. The Graduate Center at CUNY has, I believe, assembled the most distinguished and talented faculty corps anywhere in the world with a primary focus on wealth and income inequities. I foresee more and more talented graduate students and postdocs coming from around the world to study alongside CUNY’s scholars. More than many other institutions, moreover, The Graduate Center recognized from the start the importance of addressing wealth and income inequality from an interdisciplinary perspective. My wife Cathy and I are honored to be helping the center grow, and we look forward to seeing its impact and reputation multiply.

When most people look at hangers, all they see is a way to hang clothing or a means to open a locked vehicle. Not designer Tim Parsons. He looked past their use as a tool for grand theft auto and saw a better way to both hand and maintain your stylish blazer.
Not only does the extra-strength Brushanger support even the heaviest of overcoats — keeping the shoulders at the perfect angle while it’s hanging in a closet — it also does double duty as a way to maintain the fabric itself. Just fold down the arms and it instantly becomes a horse hair brush perfect for meticulously maintaining your favourite blazer. It seems a tool more apropos for those living a Downton Abbey-like lifestyle, and with a $US65 price tag it even seems targeted at wealthy turn-of-the-century British lords.

The Duchess of Cambridge was photobombed by a toddler as she celebrated a new patronage with a festive visit to a Christmas tree farm. Kate was speaking with a group of children about what they wanted for Christmas when three-year-old Freddie leant in front of her with a cheeky smile to get in the picture – and the results are adorable!
The Duchess was visiting the farm in Missenden, Buckinghamshire, to celebrate becoming a royal patron of the charity Family Action, a position passed to her by the Queen, who had held it for more than 65 years. To mark the occasion, Kate was joined by families and children supported by Family Action for Christmas activities at the farm on Wednesday.
Little Freddie photobombed Kate!
Dressed in a green jumper, red coat and jeans, the Duchess was greeted by the Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire, Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher, as she arrived. Next, the mum-of-three helped children make decorations and even eco-friendly reindeer food in the farm's magical Elves Enchanted Forest.

It was while she was in an Elf Workshop with several children, that little Freddie leant in to get his photo taken by a photographer, who had just joined them. Kate couldn't help but giggle as she chatted away to the children, asking them what they wanted for Christmas. When one little'un responded that he wanted a dinosaur, she sweetly asked: "Which one, a diplodocus or a T-rex?"
Kate then spoke with another three children about Christmas, asking: "How tall is your Christmas tree?" Hilariously, one child threw his hands above his head to demonstrate just how tall his tree was. Moving outside, the children pretended to feed wooden reindeers and Kate helped them put ribbons on the Christmas trees that they liked most.

Addressing the applicability of interference proceedings to patent applications filed after the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA) was enacted, the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (Board) found it proper to declare an interference between a patent application with a priority date before March 16, 2013, the AIA implementation date, and a patent with a priority date after March 16, 2013. SNIPR Technologies Limited v. The Rockefeller University, Pat. Interf. No. 106,123 (DK) (PTAB Nov. 19, 2021) (Katz, APJ).
The AIA switched the US patent system from a “first to invent” to a “first inventor to file” system. In line with this change, the AIA eliminated the patentability requirement under 35 U.S.C. § 102(g), regarding whether another inventor made the invention first, and the interference proceeding under 35 U.S.C. §135 for determining who invented the claimed invention first. Section 3(n)(2) of the AIA provides a timing provision relating to this change. Under this section, the interference proceeding “shall apply to each claim of an application for patent, and any patent issued thereon, for which the amendments made by this section also apply, if such application or patent contains or contained at any time, a claim [having a priority date before March 16, 2013].”
The US Patent & Trademark Office (PTO) declared an interference between several patents owned by SNIPR and a pending application to The Rockefeller University. The claims involved were drawn to a method of killing or modifying specific bacteria in a mixed population of bacteria with different species using the CRISPR-mediated gene editing technology. The Rockefeller application asserted a priority date of February 7, 2013 (i.e., pre-AIA), while the SNIPR patents asserted the priority date of May 3, 2016 (i.e., post-AIA). SNIPR argued that the interference proceeding was improper since all involved patents were filed after the AIA was enacted.
The Board rejected SNIPR’s argument, explaining that Section 3(n)(2) provides for continuation of interference under certain circumstances. The Board noted that the patentability requirement under 35 U.S.C. §102(g) and interference still apply to each claim having a priority date before March 16, 2013, such as the claims of Rockefeller’s involved application. Accordingly, when the Rockefeller claims would otherwise be allowable, except for the existence of an interference with other claims such as SNIPR’s claims, Section 3(n)(2) necessarily calls for an interference proceeding between the Rockefeller application and the SNIPR patents. Otherwise, the PTO would not be able to determine whether Rockefeller was entitled to a patent under 35 U.S.C. §102(g).
The Board further reasoned that, instead of ending all interferences at the implementation of the AIA, US Congress enacted Section 3(n)(2) to continue the interference proceeding as applicable to certain cases after AIA. Congress also did not explicitly require that cases involved in interferences must all have priority dates before March 16, 2013. Therefore, the Board found that Congress contemplated interferences between pre-AIA and post-AIA applications and patents. Accordingly, the Board ruled in Rockefeller’s favor, finding it was the first to invent the claimed technology.

When installed correctly, an upgraded HVAC system can save as much as 20% on heating and cooling.
Among the decisions you’ll need to make when upgrading your HVAC system is the placement of the air registers. Floor, wall, and ceiling registers are all options. So which one is best?
The answer depends on various factors, including the climate in which you live and the design of your home. In many cases, though, floor registers are the ideal choice.
Read on to learn more about the advantages of installing floor registers in your home.
Floor Registers Optimize Heating Capacity
It’s a basic fact of science: Warm air rises. Unfortunately, warm air pooling at the ceiling can make for chilly conditions at ground level, where you, your family, and your guest spend your time.
Ceiling and wall registers do little to address this problem. In fact, they simply add to the warm air circulating high above your head.
In contrast, floor heat registers concentrate heating capacity where you need it. When heat enters from the floor, it will warm the entire room as it rises.
This makes floor registers absolutely essential for cooler climates.
Floor Registers Minimize Heat Transfer
Whether you live in a warm, cool, or varying climate, uninsulated attic space can be a significant obstacle to achieving a comfortable temperature in your home. An uninsulated attic lets cooled air escape in the summer and heated air escape in the winter.
Ceiling registers facilitate this heat transfer. In contrast, floor registers counter it, keeping properly cooled or heated air in the living spaces of your home.
Floor Registers Are Easy to Clean
Cleaning ceiling and wall registers usually requires a ladder, step stool, or chair. This adds to the time and effort needed to complete the job. For safety, it also means that cleaning ceiling and wall registers should be a two-person job.
You likely know from experience: The longer a job takes and the more effort involved, the less likely it is to get done. Such procrastination—avoidance, even—is especially problematic when it comes to HVAC maintenance.
Airflow is a key component of any HVAC system. To effectively heat or cool a room, the air needs an unobstructed path. Over time, dust, pet hair, and other debris can clog air registers. This reduces the efficiency of your unit, which, in turn, increases energy costs and decreases your comfort. It can also put undue stress on the HVAC unit, shortening its life.
With floor vent registers, it’s easy to see when dirt has accumulated. It’s also easy—and wise—to incorporate cleaning your floor registers each time you clean your floors. Fortunately, this job doesn’t require a ladder or any additional tools or products, and it’s likely already part of your ongoing home maintenance plan.
The same can’t be said of cleaning your walls and ceilings or any vents inconveniently placed along their surfaces. Any benefits these placements offer in terms of cooling capacity are, thus, lost when inaccessible registers inevitably become clogged.
Floor Registers Are Stylish
Some homeowners worry that floor registers will limit their layout and design options, especially in small rooms. However, the wide range of floor register options lets you incorporate them into any aesthetic.
Floor register covers are available in various styles and finishes from unobtrusive neutrals to intricate designs. In fact, decorative floor registers can actually enhance the appearance of a room.
Tips for Choosing, Installing, and Maintaining Floor Registers
Once you’ve decided to go with floor registers, other decisions remain. For example, what floor registers should you choose? And where will you put them?
Your answers to these questions will further determine the benefits you’ll enjoy from your project.
1. Install Floor Registers Beneath the Windows
Experts recommend placing floor registers beneath the windows. Doing so lets the cooled and heated air mix with the air entering from the outside. Ultimately, the result is a more comfortable interior climate.
Placing floor registers beneath windows also keeps them out of the room’s normal traffic pattern, which is important for everyone’s safety. In a windowless room, an interior wall provides a similarly safe location.
These locations, finally, provide the easiest access for ongoing maintenance and repairs.
2. Avoid Putting Furniture or Rugs Over Floor Registers
Again, unobstructed airflow is key to energy efficiency and a comfortable climate. It also prevents pressure imbalances that can cause your HVAC system to break down.
As you decide on a layout for each room, therefore, avoid placing furniture atop the air registers.
3. Choose the Best Floor Registers for Your Needs
You’ve read this far, so you’re already thinking about aesthetics. It goes without saying that the best floor register for you matches your style.
However, you’ll need to consider other factors as well.
If you live with small children, for example, it’s important to consider the size of the grates. Wider grates enhance airflow, but they also let small children slip toys and other objects between them. Besides losing valuable items, these situations can cause damage to your HVAC system.
If you haven’t taken care to secure the registers to the floor, moreover, children and pets can also lift them or knock them loose. Again, careful planning is essential to your family’s safety and comfort.
Finally, if you live with small children or pets, you should consider various materials for floor registers. Metal floor registers are the most durable and tend to offer the greatest airflow. However, they can be sharp. Using plastic covers for a few years when your children are young can save tiny fingers from injury.
Once your children learn to leave them alone, it’s easy to swap plastic covers for more durable and efficient metal floor registers, like these from truaire.com.
Making HVAC Decisions? Stay Grounded with Floor Registers
Floor registers offer many benefits. They maximize heating capacity and minimize heat transfer. They’re also stylish and easy to clean.
The tips above will help you make the most out of your new floor registers. As you enjoy the benefits that follow, count on our blog for other tips to optimize your home and your life.

Our church activities and programs are here to support the needs of our community
Join Our Church
Please get in touch with us to arrange a time to meet, or pop along to one of our services.
Donate & Volunteer
1- To help fund the ongoing projects of building KUCNZ churches and halls in main and central cities across New Zealand as places of worship and venues where church activities, camps and meetings may be held. This is the major hurdle for the church that comes with challenges along the way. Donor involvements through giving will certainly lessen the burden.
2- To help the development and training of youth and Sunday school children through various church related activities and programs that are being withheld due to a lack of funding and/or resources.
3- To help fund the recruitment of more ordained Ministers (clergymen). KUCNZ needs more Ministers given the various parishes around the country, spanning both islands. The current four Ministers have to move around the country in order to serve and do their jobs. This may prove to be costly in terms of constant travel and the challenges Ministers are facing whilst ensuring they don’t fall far behind schedule.
Jobs & Volunteering
However, there has been a plan by the Board to advertise a new paid position of Account Clerk. Due to the volume of tasks and compliance’s required by the Government and the Charity, our Current Treasurer felt that he needed someone to help with this. It’s still in the plan but yet to be confirmed and implemented.

On 25 – 26 de July 2011, the Ministry of Finance held a consultation workshop, the so called” “New Omnibus Procurement Law, Rules, Regulations and New Standard Forms documents” which was opened by the Minister of Finance HE Dra. Emilia Pires. 163 people took part in the event comprising of government directors general, private sector representatives, civil society representatives, Catholic Church, development partners and international agencies representatives, such as World Bank, Bank Mandiri, AusAID, JICA, BNU, ANZ and UNDP.
The objective of the workshop was to gather and share ideas and suggestions towards consolidating several procurement decree laws since 2005 into one consolidated comprehensive decree law that will be presented to the COM for further debate and approval.
In the event, Minister Pires underlined the importance of the standardization of tender and public contracts documents using two envelope system such as value for money which emphasizes on quality, the cost and time.
Dr Francis Sskandi, the Columbia University Law Consultant was the Technical Consultant who developed this decree law from the 12 existing decree laws, as mentioned above such as: Decree law no. 10/2005, Decree law no. 11/2005, Decree law no. 12/2005, Decree law no.14/2006, Decree law no.24/2008, Decree law no.1/2010, Decree law no.2/2010, Decree law no.3/2010, Decree law no.14/2010, Decree Law no.16/March o/2011, Decree law no.14/2011, Decree law no.18/2011.
The new consolidated decree law aims at simplifying the rules and will provide sound guidelines, more competences and responsibilities to the line ministries in order to best utilize the resources according to the needs of the ministry through a Ministerial Diploma. Once approved by the COM the decree law will be disseminated immediately countrywide to ensure that everybody is able to comply with the new procurement rules and procedures appropriately.

Or in a crisis, text "NAMI" to 741741
In response to questions about how to start and conduct a faith-related mental health support group, NAMI FaithNet has collected descriptions of several spirituality/faith-related support groups as examples. We are aware that many more excellent faith-related groups meet regularly and could have been included. NAMI FaithNet does not sponsor or endorse any particular model or type of spirituality group but encourages the interchange of ideas. Each group described here has sprung up independently to fulfill a need in that community. The “models” are not intended as the best or only way of conducting such groups, but do offer examples of the “what, when, where and how.” Individual NAMI members who are passionate about the integration of faith and mental wellness started most of the groups. Most have a connection to their local NAMI affiliate, but the groups are not necessarily sponsored by their affiliate. Some groups are sponsored by or meet in a church; one sprung up in a Community Mental Health Center that realized the relevance of faith to recovery. Facilitator’s contact information is current as of May 2013.
For more information, contact [email protected] or the NAMI Help Line at 703-524-7600.

Important: start and end on time. Facilitator must help group stay within set time limits, so that people will continue coming. When they know they won’t be kept too long or too late by uncontrolled discussion and sharing, they’ll trust the leader enough to commit to an evening regularly.
Description of Meeting: Group of about 15 met in the lounge of the church, using chairs and a sofa in a circle. No refreshments were served except on special occasions. This made it simpler to run and more to the point. Facilitator welcomed people as they arrived, and had them use nametags (first names) because new people would arrive occasionally. Nametags made them feel part of the group sooner.
Welcome & opening prayer by facilitator
Devotional (5 min.) offered by one of the group. This responsibility was passed around to various attendees. They could read a favorite scripture verse and tell what it meant to them, a poem, or a short inspirational excerpt.
Summarize Goals: (Facilitator reads purpose described above)
Sharing Time: (Facilitator explains:) Each person shares briefly their name, and what’s going on since group met last, (4-5 min. each, depending on number present, triumphs, challenges, needs, and concerns). Newcomer’s give name and either share briefly or pass. After everyone has shared, special attention may briefly be given to one or two in most need of encouragement or support.
Closing Prayer Time: Sharing of thanksgiving and requests. All may take notes if they wish, but one-person prayers for all the concerns mentioned. This person is asked in advance if they are willing to lead in prayer. No one is put on the spot.
Comments: Brochures describing the group are distributed through the community, the churches and NAMI affiliates.
Sponsoring Organization: Catholic Archdiocese of Chicago
Purpose: The purpose of Faith and Fellowship is to provide faith experiences in a way suited to the needs of persons with a mental illness within the context of a small community of believers and to offer opportunities for integration into the life and activities of the parish community. People with mental illness are often socially isolated and even feel isolated from God. Faith and Fellowship is a ministry where persons with a mental illness can experience the love of Gods and their sisters and brothers
Invitees: Faith and Fellowship groups consist of ten to 15 adults including approximately equal numbers of persons with a mental illness and volunteers from local churches.
Frequency & Place: They meet semi-weekly as partners in prayer and socialization.
Description of Meeting: The meetings feature:
A time for prayer
A time for quietly shared activities
A time for a reflection on the meeting theme
A time for Agape (fellowship)
Contact: Connie Rakitan
Sponsoring Organization: Trinity United Presbyterian Church, Santa Ana, California
Purpose: The purpose of Hope’s Nest is to provide a welcome and spiritually nourishing environment, which benefits attendees far beyond just being accepted and having the opportunity to contribute. Its reinforces the understanding that God is with us, even in our most difficult times
Invitees: It is a support group for those living with a mental illness. Four members from the church also attend. Although it is given from a Christian perspective, all religions are respected and those of all faiths are welcome.
Frequency & Place: It meets the first Sunday of each month at 12:30-2 pm in the church fellowship hall or a Sunday school room.
Description of Meeting: Attendees greet one another and help themselves to food provided by the Disabilities Committee of the church. We gather in a circle of chairs and read the guidelines of Hope’s Nest. Then ask each person to give their name and briefly state how well they are dealing with their mental health issues on this day. During the next twenty minutes we discuss a topic from the Bible, led by one of the attendees who has volunteered to do so. One example of our discussion is one of the attributes found in “The Fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians 5:22-23), and its application in their lives.
After a 10-minute break, the group begins a time of sharing. Each person is given the opportunity to describe their high and low points plus a description of something positive they did for someone during the previous month. After sharing, each person has the option of asking for “feedback” from others. Frequently, the feedback includes reference to a Biblical passage, which will give comfort. Tears, prayer and laughter are all important parts of this discussion.
Prayer requests are written on cards throughout the meetings and are placed in a basket. When the gathering has concluded, attendees can take a card home to include the request in their prayers during the following month.
Comments: In a recent questionnaire, attendees’ responses to the question, “What meaning does Hope’s Nest have for you?” included: “I found fellowship”..... “an opportunity to problem solve” .... “a place to talk about issues not discussed in any other church group” ... “.to see that other Christians do experience mental illness just like me” .... “find hope .... “being with people with many of my same problems and being able to openly discuss them” .... “finding I am closer to God” .... “knowing that what I say will not be judged, but accepted” .... “gain understanding and support”... “finding a Phone Pal” ... “discovering that people with a mental illness diagnosis can be healthy and live happy lives.”

The ‘Transformation’ project was chosen by students, for the community. Ormiston Denes students have undertaken an ambitious project to transform the Trams into a beautiful walkway that is safe for the community of Lowestoft. To make the project manageable, it has been divided into a series of sub projects, of ideas generated by students, such as:
- Improving the security and lighting
- Making the tramways clean and visibly attractive.
- Looking at the history and displaying it in an artistic way.
- External community businesses and charities have supported and are continuing to work with the academy. Students have worked and liaised with the local council to make the project truly a community endeavour!

Cadillac's new CT6 sedan arriving later this year is a huge deal for the company. Along with replacing the awkwardly positioned XTS in the carmaker's lineup, the full-size RWD sedan is meant to further establish Caddy's presence in the luxury performance market by taking direct aim at its extra-large competition—specifically the BMW 7-Series, Audi A8, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
To that end, Cadillac developed a whole new lightweight platform for the car that the company says is one of the most advanced its ever built. Named Omega, the chassis uses 11 different materials and a strategic mix of high-strength steel and aluminum to save an impressive 198 pounds over using steel.
A key element of the Omega platform is its 13 aluminum castings. As seen in the rear-wheel-well example above, the castings are impressive feats of engineering themselves. Using computer modeling, Cadillac created a ribbing system that requires the least amount of metal possible while also maintaining the chassis's structural integrity.
"Ribbings that are closer together offer higher strength and rigidity to a critical stress point," says Travis Hester, executive chief engineer for the CT6. "We can also consider maximum mass saving at other areas by utilizing less ribbing where stiffness is not necessary."
By reducing the number of parts needed, the large castings also lower the number of stress points within the structure. "Where we would traditionally use 35 stamped parts, we can now only use 2 parts," Hester says. "Every joining point is a point that can potentially flex over time." Overall, the new Omega structure uses 20 percent fewer parts than Cadillac's Alpha platform currently underpinning the ATS and CTS.
To further shave pounds, the CT6 uses weight-saving assembling methods and aluminum body panels, making the car 64 percent aluminum in total. Cadillac estimates the CT6's final curbside weight to be less than 3,700 pounds. That's CTS territory, even though Caddy's mid-size sedan has a wheelbase that's 8 inches shorter than the 122.4-inch CT6.
More notably, the majority of the CT6's full-size competitors weigh in at more than 2 tons. That should give Cadillac an edge in both performance and fuel efficiency.

So you’ve just installed Linux Mint, Ubuntu or one of the other Linux distros on your computer and started messing around on the command line.
If I were you, one of the first things I’d be curious about is whether my Linux operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
If there’s one more than one way to skin a cat, there are six ways to find out if the Linux operating system on your PC is 32-bit or 64-bit.
So I’d open up the terminal and run any of the below commands.
Now before I get to the actual commands, let me briefly tell you what the results/output of your commands mean.
If the output of your terminal command is i686 it means you’re running a 32-bit Linux operating system on your PC.
On the other hand, if the command brings up x86_64 it means you’re running a 64-bit Linux operating system on your computer.
i686 – 32-bit kernel
x86_64 – 64-bit kernel
Let’s now look at six different methods (five via the command line and one via the built-in tools in a distro) to identify whether the Linux OS on your PC is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Methods 1-5 involve running the below self-explanatory commands on the terminal.
2. uname -m
3. uname -a
4. file /sbin/init
5. getconf LONG_BIT
Since the Linux OS on my computer is 32-bit, I got 32 when I ran the above command. If my Linux operating system were 64-bit, I’d have got 64 when I ran the getconf LONG_BIT command.
6. Built-in Tools
Of course, you can find out whether your Linux OS is 32-bit or 64-bit even without opening up the terminal.
There are built-in tools in several Linux distributions to tell if the operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit.
But the method will vary on different distributions.
Let’s look at how you can find out whether your computer is running a 32-bit Linux OS or 64-bit in two well-known distributions – Linux Mint 17 (one of the popular distributions today) and Kali Linux (used for security testing purposes).
Linux Mint 17
1. In your Linux Mint PC, click on Menu (bottom left)
2. Go to All Applications (top)
3. Go down and click on System Info.
Voila, you have the answer below:
Distributions like Linux Mint also come with an excellent command line tool called Inxi that provides a wealth of information on your system including whether it’s 32-bit or 64-bit.
Let’s try Inxi now.
$ inxi -F System: Host: sasha Kernel: 3.16.0-38-generic x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Cinnamon 2.6.13 Distro: Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela Machine: System: Dell product: OptiPlex 780 ...output truncated
As we can see in the first line of the output, our Linux is 64-bit. Inxi is also available for Red Hat and CentOS in the EPEL repository.
In Kali Linux, you’d go to
1. Applications (top left)
2. System Tools
3. System Monitor
This is the result you get:
Release Kali Linux 1.0.8 32-bit
Kernel Linux 3.14-kali-686-pae
There’s another way to find out if your Linux is 32-bit or 64-bit in Kali Linux.
1. Click on Root (Top right of screen)
2. Scroll down to System Settings
3. Click Details (look under System)
When you click on details, you can see the OS type (32-bit or 64-bit), GNOME version, Memory, Processor, Graphics card and storage.
Go ahead, try the above commands on your Linux computer.

Welcome to another exciting week of college football! Today there are some really terrific matchups to watch, starting off this morning with Clemson against Florida State. We’ll get a chance to watch that dominant Clemson defensive line led by Clelin Ferrell and Dexter Lawrence.
Also on tap today is the annual World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, aka the Florida vs. Georgia game. Florida has been creeping up the polls while Georgia recently took a tumble after a drubbing by LSU.
For those of you with ties to the military, Navy takes on Notre Dame today in San Diego. Navy always gives the Irish trouble with their triple option rush attack. In Pac-12 action, surprising Washington State takes on Stanford, and Oregon gets the Arizona Wildcats in the night game where wacky things always happen.
Enjoy the games!

TAIPEI(Taiwan News) - Japanese pop diva Namie Amuro performed her last overseas concert in Taiwan at the Taipei Arena over the weekend on May 19 and May 20.
The two-day, Taipei performance of Amuro's show "Namie Amuro Final tour 2018 ~Finally~ in Asia" concluded her Asia tour. She will retire September 16, 2018 on her 40th birthday.
Namie Amuro is very popular in Taiwan. Concert tickets sold out within three minutes after being listed by the ticketing company, Super Dome (超級圓頂). Those unable to purchase tickets online lined up outside the Taipei Arena for two days in hopes of snagging a ticket.
While some diehard fans successfully purchased a ticket at the same or slightly higher price as retailed, others were not as lucky. The ticketless lingered outside of the Arena to hear Amuro's songs drifting out into the night.
For the last overseas concert held by Namie Amuro, scalpers jacked up ticket prices, charging as much as NT$150,000 (US$5,011) for an NT$5,800 (US$194) ticket, according to the online forum PTT.
Amuro opened the concert with "Hero," bringing fans to tears. She also sang many of her most popular songs including "Baby Don't Cry," "What a Feeling," "Showtime," "A Walk in the Park," and "Can You Celebrate."
During the encore, she sang the theme song for the famous Japanese manga, "One Piece - Hope." As she sang "How Do You Feel Now," the screen behind her played a montage of Amuro over the past years in the music industry. After the encore, she thanked the fans for supporting her over the past 25 years, and hopes that everyone will be well.
Fans of Namie Amuro shared her thoughts after the concert saying, "When she started to sing "Hero," I was very excited because I never thought I'd get a chance to hear her sing this song live. I started to think back about memories when I was much younger in my student days upon hearing the song "Love Story." I started crying when I heard the prelude of the song "Sweet 19 Blues," and finally stopped crying when Amuro finish singing the song "Can You Celebrate." It's like bidding farewell to my youth; we can only look back on those days."

The barefaced beauty trend that speaks to the natural skincare lovers in all of us.
Think Marie Kondo but for your beauty cupboard, skinmimalism is all about culling the chemical-laden cosmetics, saying goodbye to caked-on makeup and hello to embracing bare skin beauty... and we’re so behind it! Think less is more, with an emphasis on loving the skin you’re in and boosting a glow from the inside out.
According to Pinterest’s 2021 Trend Predictions report, it is officially set to be what they call the ‘new glow-up’ that’s set to ‘blow up’ as the major trend this year, following in wake of the clean beauty movement.
It’s no surprise either, with the bare beauty approach that encourages cutting chemicals and being as ‘clean as possible’ has never been more ‘in’ - with Beauty Directory suggesting 90 per cent of consumers now prefer to buy ‘clean beauty’ products as part of their skincare routine.
As an Australian organic fake tan brand that is all about looking good nude and using mother nature-based plant ingredients to nourish skin from the inside out, we at Three Warriors can’t think of a more perfect trend to complement clean beauty.
The only caveat though of course is that it requires ‘less’ and with it a whole dose of self-love to own your inner confidence and embrace the skin you’re in.
While we can help you glow from the inside out with our Australian organic fake tan products (shop our tanning range here), we’ve also spoken with beauty industry leaders to get their take on it.
Speaking with Sophia Pafitis, a makeup artist and model who is an advocate of the skinimalist movement, she believes it’s all about building sustainable habits to inspire confidence.
“Start by wearing no makeup as often as you can do you normalise how you look bare-faced with yourself. I rarely wear makeup and to do that confidently I invest time and energy into a solid skincare routine so that I can feel absolutely comfortable to go bare-faced.”
As a makeup artist, Sophia still believes in investing in beautiful makeup but knowing how to wear it in a ‘minimalist’ way.
“I feel most comfortable with makeup that looks like I’m wearing nothing. I aim for a bright and glowing complexion and if I can opt for a sunless tan, even better.”
Maddy Dixon, founder of Flora Remedia, a natural skincare brand is also behind the movement.
“In my eyes, skinmimalism is all about using fewer products and less chemical-based ones that are better for both your skin AND the environment. The less bottles we use the better!”
“I really think we are becoming exhausted by choice. Do we really need and want to use ten different skin products each day? No! We have enough to do without having to add in a 30-minute skin routine.”
“I feel women especially are so sick of striving for perfection and are finally starting to realise the importance of taking care of how we feel, not just how our skin looks. I think this is part of the reason why we’re turning to natural remedies and clean beauty products - they are effective but also allow us to connect to ourselves and nature through rituals of self-care.”
She believes it’s an important shift in culture that is allowing women too to understand their conscious habits and reinvest in their health and wellbeing again by choosing a more natural skincare routine.
“I so often hear women talk about how they unknowingly have over-treated their skin with products, disrupting its microbiome and causing inflammation (such as overusing products like salicylic acid. When really it should always be a case of less is more.”
“The goal is for our skin to be able to moderate itself into health. We might need to help it more to begin with, especially if you have a skin condition but I would suggest tapering off chemical product use so your skin doesn't rely on products too much. That doesn’t mean you don’t keep some necessities, but it will differ from person to person.”
To help you embody your bare-faced beauty, we asked Sophia and Maddy to share their tips for a natural skincare routine and bare makeup look to help radiate confidence naturally.
6 tips to becoming a skinimalist and building inner confidence
Opt for oils“Use an oil that you can use on your face and body at nighttime. Rosehip is one of my favourites, closely followed by the old faithful jojoba oil,” suggests Maddy.
“I like to use one during the night and mix it in with my moisturiser during the day. It provides an instant glow and a remedy for reducing wrinkles related to dehydration,” says Sophia.
Sleep in silk“I swear by sleeping on a silk pillowcase, it nourishes both your skin and hair,” suggests Sophia.
Eat skin-friendly foods“Pay attention to what you eat. Foods such as dairy for example can be quite inflammatory for some people and can cause acne,” says Maddy.
Be mindful with makeup“As a makeup artist, I work by the philosophy that makeup should enhance the natural structure of the face and compliment features, not mask them. Aim to apply makeup in a minimal way that lets skin look like skin - with a healthy dewy glow of course,” suggests Sophia.
Move your body“Exercise not only makes you feel good, but sweating is actually great for releasing toxins through your skin too - just make sure you shower straight after, “says Maddy.
Get a glow“I swear by the Three Warriors Face Tan Aqua Mist. A quick spritz over cleansed skin and you’re aglow in no time and makes going makeup-free so easy. Nothing is more powerful than a glow that can inspire confidence. When I have a tan, I naturally feel better.”

Sure, we’ve all seen numerous variations of the legendary Les Paul model electric guitar. Now here’s one variation that’s really unique – Gibson’s new Les Paul Acoustic. Designed for electric players by Gibson’s Custom Shop, the Les Paul Acoustic is shaped like a traditional single-cutaway Les Paul and constructed from the same basic woods.
Like many Les Pauls, the Acoustic model starts with a mahogany body with a figured maple top and mahogany neck. The sample we received was finished in a translucent black, but it’s also available in tangerine- burst and translucent blue. The neck has 22 frets, a rosewood fingerboard, pearloid trapezoid inlays and vintage-style Gibson Deluxe tuners.
What’s most unusual about the Les Paul Acoustic is the construction of the top (though the profile is pretty cool, too). The bridge is actually hand-carved into the maple top, and the saddle sits directly in the body. The six bridge pins are fitted into the body, just behind the bridge. This design results in optimum sustain, because the bridge is essentially a part of the top, and the strings go right through.
From the factory, the guitar is strung with bronze-wound acoustic strings, but still has the typical Les Paul feel (though the strings are heavier than most would use on a Les Paul). In terms of feel, the neck, frets, and body are just like playing an electric guitar.
The body is definitely lighter than a typical electric guitar. It has hollowed chambers that allow for a reverberant tone with more natural acoustic qualities, even when the guitar is unamplified – unlike the solidbody Gibson Chet Atkins SST, which does not project its sound acoustically.
The Acoustic model is fitted with the Gibson SST electronic system and L.R. Baggs piezo pickup, with rim-mount volume and tone controls. The tone dial has a center detent, which is the midpoint of the high and low mix. The battery compartment for the piezo system is located directly behind the bridge and houses a single 9-volt battery. All electronics (including the input jack) are in the same place as a typical Les Paul.
With a better idea of the feel, we set about appraising the guitar’s tone using three different amp rigs with all tone controls set flat and volume set for a clean tone. First, we tested the Les Paul Acoustic through a Gibson Super Goldtone GA-30RV combo amp (VG, February ’02), then through our 100-watt Marshall stack. Last, we tested the guitar using a Countryman direct box plugged into a small PA.
With all setups, we kept the system’s tone controls set flat and the volume adjusted for clean tones. To get the best sound, we found it best to keep the guitar’s volume rolled back a bit to soften the attack of the pick or finger on the strings. We also preferred having the guitar’s tone control adjusted for slightly boosted low-end. Tonal response varies depending on where one hits the strings. With a bit of noodlin’ around, it’s easy to find the best picking-hand positions for strumming, single notes, and fingerpicking. Intonation was good across the fingerboard, even when using open tunings.
As expected, we achieved the best range and fattest clean acoustic tones when using the direct box and PA. The Super Goldtone fared pretty well for an electric guitar amp, producing a workable tonal range, while the Marshall was the most limiting. But as long as it was set clean, the sound was good enough to use it at a gig if you only had one amp to play through.
For Les Paul enthusiasts who want an acoustic/electric, this is the ultimate axe.
Because the Les Paul Acoustic is a Custom Shop model, production is limited and it’s likely these guitars won’t hang on the rack long, despite the fact that they’re a bit pricey. And unless you’re playing with guys like Rick Nielsen and Joe Perry – who recently snatched up their own – if you’ve got a Les Paul Acoustic, you probably won’t ever show up to a jam session and find yourself armed with the same guitar as any of the other guys.
If you strive for something distinctive, check one out.

What I was expecting from my studies?
I was expecting that I would get everything that I will need for international legal career. I didn't want to study any specific national law as I don't know from where I fill find myself after 10 years or so. I was expecting that we should learn some legal acts by heart but luckily we don't need to remember a specific number of a certain article. We need to remember the content in general and we need to know how to interpret it. In general my expectations about the studies are met and I feel that it gives me a great future.
What do I think about my study group?
Before I met my group I was hoping that there would be a lot foreign students that I wouldn't be the only one speaking only English. In the end, I'm the only foreign student from European Union. Rest of the foreign students come for example from India or Azerbaijan. I feel more connected with the Polish students and after the beginning I haven't felt outside as they are always speaking English with me. I also learn more and more Polish so it is not a problem if somebody is sometimes speaking Polish.
Our group is very small. Together we have about 30 students but there might be some classes that only 5 students show up. We are not having our classes in these huge lecture halls but in smaller class rooms and sometimes even in the professors office if there is only few people coming. In the beginning I was hoping that our group would be bigger but now I love it that we are able to have closer relations with the professors when there is only few of us (compared to 100 students in a lecture hall). It is easy to ask questions and present opinions.
What is the level of English?
Many people have asked me how well the professors are speaking English. In general I'm satisfied but some of the professors can not speak English in the level that I was hoping. In our faculty it is not such a big problem but for example in my language classes I was disappointed when my class is supposed to be in English but then the English is only rarely used. Also in the physical education the teachers were not speaking English at all. The majority of other stuff in the University other than professors are not speaking English, that is why we have for example in the student office a couple of named persons to take care of our things. Still I feel better if my Polish friends will company me to the student office as I never know when the English speaking once are there.
What has been weird in the University?
There are some things that have been weird for me in the University probably because I have never before studied in the University and because the Polish education system is new to me. What surprised me is, that we needed to have obligatory physical education. I have never heard in Finland that something like this would be obligatory in the University level. Other thing is that our classes have been very late during this semester. For example on Mondays I start at 1pm and finish at 8:30pm. Our studies shouldn't be evening studies but still our schedule seems so.
The weather is so great now that I didn't want to spend the day inside doing my school stuff. Solution, I brought everything to our balcony and now I'm here! :D

The Plattsburgh State men’s hockey team moves to 2-0-0 after beating Brockport (0-2-0) 1-0 Friday night.
The Cardinals kept up the offensive attack all night with Brockport’s goalie Jared Lockhurt turning away 33 of the 34 shots he faced.
After a scoreless first period where PSUC out-shot Brockport 14-6, the tie was broken by defenseman Rich Bottling with an assist by fellow defenseman Anthony Calabrese.
The rest of the game remained scoreless as the Cards’ defense was able to push back Brockport through the entire game with Brady Rouleau, in his first PSUC start, saving the 22 shots he faced. The Cards did struggle on the power play, going 0-5 Friday night.
Brockport was unable to score in the power play, missing opportunities in the two chances they had.
Tonight marks the Cards’ fifth-straight win over the Golden Eagles dating back to the 2011-12 season.
Plattsburgh looks to continue its winning streak as they face Geneseo to take on the Knights in a highly-anticipated matchup of two of the top SUNYAC teams.

Zen Cosmetics is a makeup organizer that makes primpin’ easy. Available on Quirky.com for $14.99, Zen Cosmetics was invented by Edwin Van de Bospoort of the Netherlands and marks Quirky’s first step into the beauty category.
Zen Cosmetics is a glamorous storage unit that’s designed to hold onto your beauty essentials. Its grippy silicone base accommodates primping tools of varying sizes, from brushes to pencils to tweezers. It’ll keep you looking your best and your counters clutter free. Decked out in an assortment of soft hues including grey, pink, teal, and coral, this is one organizer that doesn’t need to be hidden away. It looks flawless right out in the open.
Like all Quirky products, Zen Cosmetics was invented and influenced by real people like you. Edwin Van de Bospoort is an industrial product designer by education, but spends his days designing interfaces. After opening a junk drawer under his table he found a puzzling mess of pens, batteries, and randomness. He invented Pen Zen to help him and his coworkers keep their desks a little cooler, calmer, and more collected. Its popularity sparked a makeover: Zen Cosmetics.
Going on vacation is an exciting time for any fashion girl. But there’s always the dilemma of packing for an extended amount of time. Honestly, it can become overwhelming and the thought of going through airport security’s mentally exhausting.
We shouldn’t let that distract us from looking fabulous and having a good time. To help us get motivated I want to share a few quick packing tips:
1. Always pack a variety of summer dresses – whether it’s a maxi or shift dress. Packing a dress makes room in your duffle bag and you don’t have to iron!
2. Use accessories to dress up your vacation style or tone it down. Pack a fedora hat (so we don’t have to worry about our hair) add a belt to cinch the waist for a sexy look and a few statement necklaces to dress up a basic t shirt.
3. Your shoe collection should also be effortless style. Include flip flops (easy to put on) flats for a cool night and two pairs of pumps. In terms of pumps, I like to go with a basic color that coordinates with any garment such as nude or black.
4. Undergarments need to reflect your coordinated pieces. For example, a new mom should include a slimming camisole to keep the abdominal muscles (firm) underneath a blouse. We can also add a bodysuit for that gorgeous dress that shows your curves.
5. In terms of pants, consider a pair of shorts, jeans, or even leggings. All three are great options when packing your vacation attire because they’re transitional pieces that can mix and match.
6. Don’t forget your swimsuit – I like to keep two options in mind; one swimsuit for a sexy date and another suit for having a good time (you’re not concerned with your appearance in this suit because it’s comfortable.)
Packing for any trip can be demanding but with the right tips and perspective, we can have an amazing time and still look great!

Basignani Winery is one of Baltimore’s premiere vineyards, located near Falls Road. Established in 1986, Basignani hosts a variety of events throughout the year and local Marylanders can visit for a tasting, movie night, farmer’s market, or tuscan christmas event.
As a member of the Junior League of Baltimore, our President Elect – Cylia Lowe hosted a July BBQ at the winery for members. We enjoyed a traditional wine pairing starting with dry white, dry reds and sweet wine. Members also savored a variety of cheese and cracker selections to help enhance our palate.
Normally I prefer a glass of Chardonnay but after enjoying a few options at Basignani I concluded that the tasting was worth the visit. And aside from having delicious wine and cheese the vineyard was beautiful and comfortable. Visitors were also able to purchase a bottle of wine after their pairing to take home.
We concluded our afternoon under the patio (piazza) with a meeting and chat. The location made a beautiful backdrop for photos and warm memories.
If you’re looking for a relaxing afternoon and beautiful atmosphere, visit Basignani Winery and tell them Style + Life + Fashion sent you there!

As if there weren’t enough to worry about in day-to-day life, people often find themselves frozen in front of their closets during the morning rush, panicking about what to wear.
“I think everyone has that terrible feeling of insecurity from time to time when you just know you have on the wrong outfit – as if it’s not just your clothes that are frumpy and outdated, but you, too,” says styling consultant Ashley Martini, author of the new book, “Styletini,” and founding member of Martini Fashions, (www.ashleymartini.com).
“Unfortunately, in today’s society, people do judge books by their covers – and perception is reality. You can sense how people respond to you, especially in relation to job opportunities and relationships.”
Getting your outfit right can be challenging, she concedes. People want to be confident yet comfortable; up-to-date yet not necessarily “hipsteriffic;” professional but not overly formal. Most have a favorite outfit or two, but those get old quickly when worn twice a week.
“One of the first things you should understand is that your criteria really isn’t conflicting – you can be stylish, professional and comfortable, all with that stamp of individuality,” Martini says. “You just have to know what to look for.”
Martini talks tips to take the stress out of the morning dress hour.
• Not all trends work for all body types. “You have to be honest with yourself; skinny jeans may not work for you, and forcing yourself into a pair that’s semi-workable is not the best way to optimize your closet,” she says. “The trendiest thing any individual can do is answer the question: Is it flattering?”
Women have six basic body types: triangle, narrow above the waist and wider on the bottom; inverted triangle, with fuller shoulders and chest and slim hips and thighs; rectangle, also known as athletic with little definition in the waist and hips; diamond, high-sitting, full stomach with wide hips and full thighs; apple, similar to diamonds, but with a lower-sitting stomach – also know as oval-shaped; hourglass, with equal upper and lower halves with well-defined waists.
• Know your measurements! Measure the parts of your body that most define your shape: your hips, shoulders, waist and bust. Wear underwear (but not shapewear) when measuring hips, and wrap the tape around the fullest part of your hips and butt for the most accurate measurement. Don’t tug too tightly or loosely when measuring; the number in the center front is your hip size.
To measure shoulders, keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed, and extend the tape from the outer edge of one shoulder to the outer edge of the other.
To measure your waist, bend forward and note where your body creases – that’s where to measure.
For bust, wear a top without a bra, which often alters measurements. Wrap the tape across your back and under your shoulder blades and arms – and around the fullest part of your breasts.
• Own your plus-size, petite or tall body. You’ve probably heard the statement, “Real women have curves.” Yes, they do, but there are also real women with smaller busts; long and lean women, and some built like the ancient fertility goddess statues. All of us are “real.”
One tip for plus-sized women: highlight your assets — shapely legs and well-toned arms are meant to be flaunted. Petite women: Opt for pieces that come in naturally shorter lengths, such as cigarette pants, knee-length or higher skirts and three-quarter and shorter sleeve tops and jackets. Showing more skin will make your limbs look longer. Tall women: Wear high heels if you want to — just because you’re taller doesn’t mean they’re off limits.

Let’s be honest, everyone likes to shop at Ross Dress for Less. Fashionistas can find designer labels for a discounted price and it really doesn’t get any better than that!
To jumpstart their new campaign, the brand asked shoppers to like their Facebook Page and participate in a Summer Style Quiz. The quiz was a fun addition to their campaign and I discovered that my personal summer style is the Social Butterfly. Being a Social Butterfly means I enjoy wearing maxi dresses, embellished sandals, oversized sunglasses, and large tote bags.
I had the opportunity to visit my local Ross and purchase a few pieces for my wardrobe. I was happy to see all of the Summer hues and trends for shoppers to select.
As you can see from the previous photos there’s a wonderful selection of merchandise. If you’re a classic fashionista, one can find a corporate pantsuit and if you’re a trendsetter, one can choose from the leggings department. To make sure you’re selecting the appropriate size don’t forget to visit the fitting room to try on items.

A Voice in the
Jesus answered, "If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I should say I do not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I know Him and I keep His Word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and He saw and was glad. Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I AM!" (Jn8:54-58)
Recently as I happened to click on public TV, Wynona Judd was per- forming from "Austin City Limits." At one point in the program they went into this time of "church," doing some raucous tribal pagan rendition of something with "Jesus" in the words. After having watched her snarl into the cameras the "hypocrisy" of her singing "Jesus" and turning her eyes upwards was almost too much to endure. But if one watched closely, she could not really "quite" bring herself to look "fully upwards" nor to speak His Name "clearly" with conviction. In her heart she knows Jesus is not "her god." There is both fear and loathing of that "worthy name"- Ja2:7 Blaspheme in performance.
What of the man holding this country's "highest" office. Such a sham and DISGRACE to the whole concept of "confession and repentance"!! As if to say, "Yea, I did it...now, leave us alone. Let us have our PRIVACY." Putting the "Almighty's" seal on the retort with a blasphemous "..it's between [my family] and OUR GOD." Who is Mr. Clinton's "god"? For one whose presidency has consisted of NOTHING BUT LIES... Who is the "father" of lies? "You are of the Devil as father, and the LUSTS of your father you will do. He was a MURDERER from [the] beginning, and did not abide in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a LIAR and the father of it." (Jn8:44) Yes...there are many speculations of murders committed on behalf of this presidency, and the behind-the-scenes treasonous compro- mises of national security and integrity; for which causes his antics may be diversionary...?
While a commentary such as this is not sufficient to explore fully, let's observe a few descriptions of Jesus' "God." (Jn20:17, Ps110:1) Remembering that Jesus [IS] "also" God. (Jn1:1) The "I AM." (Jn8:58, Ex3:14) That Jesus is the representation of God's "essence." (Heb1:3)
Jesus came for JUDGMENT, "that they who do not see might see, and that they who [think they] see might be made blind." (Jn9:39) He said, "To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. But to others I speak in parables, so that seeing they might not see and hearing they might not understand. (Lk8:10) While Jesus came "that they might have life..more abundantly" (Jn10:10) He also knows the heart.(Heb4:12) He knows "what was in man" (Jn2:25) and so He does not "commit Himself" (vs24) to all. After Pharaoh had hardened his own heart, then God hardened it some more in order to show His own glory. (Ex8:15,32,7:3)
No, God is not an "all-forgiving" God when man persists in rebel- lion. This is one of today's scourges in the "church." Everybody is "forgiving" one another, even when the offending party has not repented. (Lk17:4) And the offending party, who really wants to continue in sin, whines to the offended party, "Can't you just Forgive and Forget?" without repenting, "I'm sorry. I've offended you. Please forgive me. I will try not to do it again." And so, for the person who does not see their own sin, but insists upon "self-righteousness" ...God blinds them to Truth. This is one reason why many of the "christian church members" are going merrily along the "broad way" to destruction. (Mt7:13) "speaking lies in hypocrisy, being seared in [their] own conscience" (1Tm4:2)
They are "follow[ing] strangers." (Jn10:5) Jesus' God is the One to Whom Jesus is the "door" (vs9) and He opens to His own sheep. He "know[s] those who are [His] and is known by those who are [His]"(vs14) If a person doesn't know where/Who the Door is, then he does not belong. If he claims to "know god" it is not Jesus' God. Jesus says this quite plainly, "I have told you and you did not believe...you did not believe because you are not of My sheep. As I said to you, My sheep hear My voice, I know them..they follow Me"(vs25-27)
Jesus is LORD. (1Cor12:3, 2Cor4:5) "You call Me the Teacher, and Lord, and you say well, for I AM."(Jn13:13) Jesus is the very "essence" of the Father. (Heb1:3) Philip asked, "show us the Father.." (Jn14:8) And Jesus responds, "Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak of Myself, but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works."(vs10) As He pleads, "believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me.."(vs11)
Who was there, ever, like Jesus, Who praised the Father and had the Father respond back as a "voice from the heaven saying, "I have both glorified [My name] and will glorify it again." (Jn12:28)
When a person believes in Jesus, they are not believing so much in Jesus, but "on Him who sent [Jesus]."(12:44) Because the Father is "all things in all." (Eph1:23, 1Cor15:28) Jesus said, "he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me." (12:45)
As such, Jesus has the full authority of the Father. The people were constantly amazed, "For He taught them as One having authority, not like the scribes [preachers & teachers]." (Mk1:22) When He "rebuked" the storm, the disciples were in wonderment, "Who then is this One? For He commands even the winds and water, and they obey Him!"(Lk8:25) This authority was displayed most graphically at the resurrection of Lazarus. "He cried out with a loud voice, Lazarus, Here! Outside!" (Jn11:43) First time I read this in my new MKJV I pictured a parent standing by the back door, calling to the wayward child, "I said...COME HERE! NOW!" And the child, of course, recognizes the "tone" of the voice & knows he'd "better obey" ..or else!
Just prior to His crucifixion Jesus is imparting some last minute teachings and comfort to His disciples; and informs them that they can expect persecution. "In the world you shall have tribulation.."(Jn16:33) As He says, "If they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they have kept My saying, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me."(15:20-21)
Note well "who" will be the source of this persecution. "They shall put you out of the synagogue [church]. But an hour is coming that everyone who kills you will think that he bears God service."(16:2) Shortly after these words were uttered, it was the Jewish religious leaders who persecuted the early Church. Down through the ages, it has been various arms of "the church" that have engaged in crusades, inqui- sitions, pogroms. And even today, those who are True Christians are persecuted and "politicked out" of so-called "evangelical, fundamental" churches; and it is usually the pastors or leaders who kick them out when they dare to challenge the false doctrine or corruption.
What is Jesus' explanation of "why" these "christians" do these things? "They will do these things to you because they have not known the Father nor Me."(16:3) They claim to know God. But they persecute Jesus (Acts9:5) when they do these things to the True Believer. "These things they will do to you FOR MY NAME's SAKE, because they DO NOT KNOW Him who sent Me."(15:21)
If they are persecuting the Christian, and in turn, Jesus; the verdict is clear. "He who hates Me hates my Father also."(15:23) Amen!

Oilfield services provider Glacier Energy has merged the three businesses which form its specialist services division.
Glacier’s heat transfer equipment manufacturing and refurbishment companies Ross Offshore and MSL Heat Transfer – along with the onsite machining service arm of Roberts Machining Solutions – merge into one legal entity and will now trade under the Glacier Energy Services banner.
Glacier will continue to offer non-destructive testing services through its subsidiary, Professional Testing Services, while Robert Machining Solutions will continue to be the product sales arm, selling specialist pipe cutting equipment to the global energy market.
Martin Kilmurry, who joined Glacier in September as managing director of its specialist services division, has led the integration of the businesses with the aim of improving the customer offering through bundled services and deploying multi-skilled teams onsite to deliver cost savings and other efficiencies.
He said: “Trading under the one Glacier banner will simplify things commercially, for our clients and for ourselves.
“We recognise that this is imperative in this challenging low oil price environment, with business simplification one way to achieve cost efficiencies and add value for our clients.”
Glacier has significant business bases in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Fife and Newcastle, with overseas operations led from sites in Singapore and the Middle East.

Give your clients the ability to opt-into signing up with a subscribe link or making their current email address section of the ordering process. This data can be utilized later to market your small business, or even for quality control purposes.
Your web site tag should contain a simple, clear meaning of you and also the main focus of your site.
Tags near the top of each page play a large role in the search engine formula, and they are visible to the visitors, too. Poorly written website tags don’t convey the content that you should send to attract and maintain the reader’s attention.
When you could become frustrated, letting go of on the website marketing dreams is one method to fail. Just think about the success that one could be missing by mere days in the event you quit. In case you are designing a website, make sure you have performed the research and so are confident in regards to the direction you take it in. This can be time consuming work. Bear in mind that the effort you place into building your web marketing presence will pay off in results.
Complement your online advertising campaign with direct marketing strategies. You can reach your clients by phone, email, or fax to let them know the specials and services you may have. A lot of the data you will need can be obtained throughout the yellow pages or through online phone directories.
Allow your clients to rate and submit moderated reviews for your personal products, like the reasons behind their ratings. Honest feedback will help customers feel well informed with both you and your products.
Online marketing is a lot like other markets, but it can also be drastically different in many distinct areas. For example, search engines like yahoo may decide not to pay attention to title tags down the road. In such a circumstance, it will help you to place a great deal of effort into something diffrent, similar to a marketing with video campaign that will reach a huge viral audience.
Record a relevant video of yourself demonstrating the item you are attempting to sell. In this way the buyer will discover you really using the product. Make sure that you are showing all of the advantages within this video. Once you make your video, post it to a few sites including Youtube, blogs, and Facebook.
Know the preferences and requires of your own potential audience, in order to design your website in a way that will draw those to it. Once you know who you are targeting, it should be simple for you to find the content which will entice these to view your site over and over again How to Stop Procrastinating

The purpose of this technical bulletin is to inform AllCells’ clinical grade customers of the potential risk of dermal bacteria contaminating bone marrow collections. Since these collections puncture the skin, the presence of dermal bacteria might be unavoidable; these types of bacteria exist on the surface of the skin and within the dermal layer. Skin preparation and draping are methods through which AllCells mitigates bacterial contamination. These methods have been proven to be successful.
According to published research, dermal bacteria can be present in bone marrow collections 1,2. These bacteria include the following species: Propionibacterium acnes, Propionibacterium humerusii, and Staphylococcus capitis. Prior to the puncturing the skin for collection, the puncture site is routinely disinfected using antiseptics. However, applying antiseptics alone does not kill all bacteria on the skin, nor does the antiseptics kill the bacteria in the deeper layers of the skin1. Therefore, a positive sterility result is not uncommon1.
Review of published literature has lead AllCells to implement additional procedures to mitigate the inherent risk of bacterial contamination during collections. In subsequent order, AllCells performs the following procedures:
Clinicians use a betadine impregnated sterile drape over the bone marrow puncture site
Clinicians use a two-needle method for bone marrow aspirations, wherein one needle is used per side to collect bone marrow
Clinicians aspirate and discard ~1mL from the initial bone marrow collection site to remove any potential bacterial contaminants
Regardless of AllCells efforts to minimize bacterial contamination, the presence of such microorganisms are impossible to avoid altogether. AllCells will continue proactively addressing this issue by employing best practices based on empirical evidence from published research. AllCells is committed to providing the life science community with high quality human blood and bone marrow derived cells, while maintaining transparent communication with its clients. By addressing the risk associated with dermal bacteria, AllCells maintains the highest quality standards in both processing primary cells and informing its clients.

Why is this happening? Reason: Most people on the go are highly visual and don't tend to read much anymore. "A Picture Says A Thousand Words" as the old saying goes, so maybe there is something to keeping it short and sweet and visual.
"Facebook has spread its tentacles into the messaging boom after building the world's most popular social network, buying Instagram for $1 billion in cash and stock in 2012. Facebook also owns two other of the world's most popular apps: WhatsApp, which it bought for billions and has 1 billion users, and its homegrown app, Facebook Messenger, which hit 900 million users in April.
"Facebook itself captures enormous amounts of people’s attention on their mobile devices, and that’s hugely powerful. But there will always be alternatives either in broad use or in use by demographic or geographic segments," said Jan Dawson, chief analyst with Jackdaw Research.

Instagram, for example, is popular with teens.
"Facebook has arguably been deploying the candy bar strategy — own as many of the brands on the shelf as possible to maximize your market share," Dawson said.
The exception: Snapchat, the mobile app popular with young people which Facebook tried to buy twice.
"It remains to be seen how important that miss will be, but it’s already clear that it’s a really important competitor to Facebook for people’s time and attention, and for companies’ ad dollars," Dawson said.
SunTrust Robinson Humphrey analyst Robert Peck says Instagram's overall growth is impressive but the numbers suggest growth in the U.S. is slowing as competition from Snapchat escalates.
"We note that most, if not all, of the (monthly active user) growth is coming from international markets. In fact, we estimate the U.S. market likely grew in a range of 0 to 18% on an annualized basis in the most recent 9 month period," Peck wrote in a research report on Tuesday.
The jump in Instagram users — and their advertising-pleasing demographics — has helped Facebook bill Instagram as a buy for marketers looking to increase awareness and spur sales. Evidence of its early commercial promise: Instagram already has more than 200,000 advertisers. Analysts say Instagram's nascent advertising business is growing rapidly.
Research firm eMarketer expects Instagram's global mobile ad revenue to reach $1.53 billion this year and more than $5 billion by 2018. Analysts say Instagram's contributions are already being felt in Facebook financial results even though the giant social network does not break those out.
"What is certain is that Instagram has been a big factor in Facebook’s recent repeated blowing out of its financial results, and its impressive rate of revenue growth in particular," Dawson said."
Can Instagram save Facebook? With Facebook trending down and Instagram trending up maybe it will pick up the loss of Facebook. Pretty smart move Facebook!
