For full disclosure, I note than I am 50% Swede-Finn (my Lutheran Swede-Finn ancestors, who are on my maternal side, migrated to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the late 1800s), and it is possible that my account may be influenced by this fact. Some key points (with some of my own additions):
Finland was repopulated after the Last Glacial Maximum (which covered all of Northern Eurasia in an ice sheet ca. 20,000 BCE and completely ended modern human and any other hominin population of this region) only around 9,000 BCE (some sources indicate a date closer to 7300 BCE which would be about 9300 BP which could be caused by misunderstandings regarding the units in which dates are quoted), in an era sometimes called the Mesolithic or Epipaleolithic era.
Mesolithic Finnish Genetics
Uniparental genetics suggest that the source population for the original resettlement, which has left a strong serial founder effect impact on the Saami population (albeit with strong Uralic contributions) made its way up the Atlantic Coast (e.g. the Dutch and Belgian coast), probably from a Franco-Cantabrian refugium which also contributed to the proto-Berber populations with which it shares two of its three predominant mtDNA haplogroups, in what is now Algeria and Morocco to the South as it expanded in that direction as well.
The rare mtDNA haplogroup V is found all along the maritime path of this group of Mesolithic people's expansion (although later studies have shown mtDNA V in Eastern and Central Europe as well). For example, a new study documents a Kurgan burial of an individual from the Novosvobodnaya culture in a part of what is now Southern Russian in the Northern Caucasus mountains around 3,000 BCE with mtDNA haplogroup V7. The author of this new paper argues from this one ancient DNA sample that the mtDNA V7 points to a link with the contemporaneous Funnelbeaker culture (often abbreviated TRB from its German spelling) further North which was characterized by herding, fishing, marginal grain farming, and the use of imported copper but not Bronze, on the grounds that there are some indications of cultural linkage between the two cultures and on the grounds that mtDNA V is found in some remains from the Linear Pottery culture (often abbreviated LBK) who were the first farmers of the region from which the author argues that the TRB is derived. (The lack of references to ancient TRB DNA to back up this claim, and reliance on a very outdated 1999 paper from Brian Sykes for the largely disproven hypothesis that most European mtDNA haplogroups have been widespread in Europe since the Upper Paleolithic era as a foundation for his analysis, undermines confidence in his conclusion, however.) Also, who is to say that mtDNA V didn't introgress from pre-existing Mesolithic European hunter-gathers of whom the early Finns were a part, into farmers on the frontier of the Neolithic revolution, rather than the other way around?
The other leading mtDNA haplogrop in the Saami is U5b, which is common in all European hunter-gatherer populations. But, the U5b is predominantly U5b1b1 (284 out of 292 individuals with U5b with all 8 outliers located in Southern Sweden at the fringe of the area where Saami people are found), compared to about 20% of Continental Europeans with mtDNA U5b.
Disregarding the editorial white lines of distribution provided by the author (source here), I would say that the U5b1b1 distribution is quite a good fit for the coastal migration route.
On the Y-DNA side, one of the three most common Y-DNA haplogroups of the Finns, I1, is associated with the pre-Neolithic population of Europe (or more precisely, with sister Y-DNA haplogroup I2) much like mtDNA U5b and to a lesser extent mtDNA V (which is also found in ancient DNA in some early Neolithic populations in Europe, although possibly as a result of the first farmers of Europe taking wives from prior hunter-gatherer populations).
These people may have been the source population designed Western European Hunter-Gatherer based in ancient autosomal DNA, one of the three populations, together with "Early European Farmers" and "Ancestral Northern Eurasians" who were the main contributors to modern European population genetics in most of Europe (although as explained below, Finland had another Uralic population that contributed to its population genetics).
Mesolithic Archaeological Cultures In Finland
From 9000 BCE (or 7300 BCE if the reference is inaccurate) until about 2500 BCE, Finland was inhabited by the descendants of these people, who fed themselves mostly by fishing supplemented by hunting and gathering, without farming or herding.
Ulitmately, the Comb Ceramic culture, which was closely akin to the Pitted Ware people of mainland Europe nearby on the Baltic Sea, emerged from these people, around 5300 BCE, as they engaged in trade with Neolithic cultures to the South.
For example, flint from Scandinavia and the Valdai Hills, amber from Scandinavia and the Baltic region and slate from Scandinavia and Lake Onega found their way into Finnish archeological sites, while asbestos and soap stone from e.g. the area of Saimaa spread outside of Finland. Rock paintings—apparently related to shamanistic and totemistic belief systems—have been found, especially in Eastern Finland, e.g. Astuvansalmi.Farming and Herding Arrive In Finland
Around 2500 BCE (or perhaps as late as 2300 BCE), Finland's Comb Ceramic maritime culture merged with the linguistically Indo-European Corded Ware culture derived Battle Axe culture from the south (that made its first inroads into Southwest Finland ca. 3200 BCE) to give rise to the Kiukainen culture. The Battle Axe culture brought dairy farming and greatly disrupted the local culture, although less the ideal climate conditions impaired the desirability of the area for herding and farming, ultimately led to a resurgence in maritime fishing people's to the local culture, so that both cultures made significant contributions.
It hasn't been clear until this week how much of a contribution this archaeological culture made to the further Northern Saami people, but the sudden appearance of dairy farming as evidenced by residues on pottery suddenly appearing around 2500 BCE even above the Arctic Circle, puts to rest the possibility that dairying didn't reach the far northern reaches of Finland at that time. It is now clear that almost everyone in the region was affected as the Neolithic revolution finally reached Finland, even if some populations subsequently reverted to a different subsistence mode.
Indo-European Farmer Genetics
The Battle Axe culture is the likely source of Y-DNA haplogroup R1a in Finns and possibly also mtDNA H mostly arrive at this time (although the antiquity of mtDNA H in the region in ancient suggests that this haplogroup could have arrived in the Mesolithic, rather than a Neolithic era.
Notably, in Japan, whose Jomon culture was also maritime fishing based before the arrival of the Yaoyi rice farmers with horse riding warriors, there the indigeneous maritime culture also had a considerable population genetic contribution, rather than the predominant replacement of terrestrial hunter-gatherers seen elsewhere. More sedentary fishing cultures may have had more staying power vis-a-vis early farmers than terrestrial hunters and gatherers.
The Case For An Indo-European Language Shift
At this point in time, the population of Finland probably came to speak an Indo-European pre-Slavic Baltic language. (A Finnish linguist argues that this Corded Ware language was proto-Germanic, but in my view a Baltic language is more likely.)
The ancestral language of the Comb Ceramic and Pitted Ware peoples was probably lost at this time in what was probably one of its last outposts in Europe (after earlier episodes of Neolithic replacement or conquest in Continental Europe starting ca. 5500-4600 BCE), except for some place names and perhaps some twice removed substrate influences.
This first farmer Neolithic era probably persisted until the arrival of the that persisted until the Finish Bronze Age (ca. 1500 BCE-500 BCE).
The Finnish Bronze Age
Another Language Shift
Sometime after 2500 BCE, Finland received an influx of a Uralic language speaking population from Siberia, not closely related to either of its source populations.
This influx gave rise to a language shift during which the Finnish language (or at least the Finno-Saami language family) probably emerged. The Finnish Bronze Age exactly coincides with a statistical estimate of the time of origin of the Finno-Saami branch of the Uralic languages.
Realistically, the Uralic language probably arrived as part of the advent of the Finnish Bronze Age ca. 1500 BCE which arrived with Bronze using cultures from Northern and Eastern Russia according to Wikipedia with is in accord with this source regarding the earliest appearance of Bronze artifacts being located inland. But, an unsourced Internet resource claims a Western rather than Eastern source for the Finnish Bronze Age and the appearance of the Western practice of cremation around this time in Finland argues for a Western source in coastal areas. These differences of opinion regarding the origin of the Finnish Bronze Age had nationalist implications for Finland.
Like Razib, I disagree with the Wikipedia analysis that puts the arrival of the Uralic languages according to older scholarship, in Finland ca. 4000 BCE. The Wikipedia analysis acknowledges the possibility that this is inaccurate, but suggests an Iron Age arrival for Uralic, which I suspect is too late, although a differentiation of Finnish from neighboring Uralic languages may date to the Iron Age ca. 500 BCE.
The Genetic Impact of Bronze Age Uralic Migration Into Finland
Razib notes that they left an east Asian autosomal genetic contribution (about 5%-8% in Saami populations today), mtDNA (mtDNA haplogroups D5 and Z which make up a similar percentage of Saami mtDNA with the mtDNA Z1 subclade contribution dated to 2,000-3,000 years ago by mtDNA mutation rate dating, i.e. the Iron Age) and Y-DNA legacy (e.g. Y-DNA haplogroup N1b and N1c1), which is distinct from the "ancestral North Asian" autosomal genetic legacy in Europe (that may have arrived with first and/or subsequent waves of Indo-Europeans together with, for example, Y-DNA haplogroup R1a).
About the Uralic Language Family
The Uralic language family is shared by the people of Estonia, Latvia, the Karelian region of Russia, and the Saami people of Finland. A more distant branch of this language family is Hungarian, and another more distant branch of this language family is shared by many Siberian ethnic populations including the Mari who are arguably the last population to have continuously practiced pagan religions of Northern Asia into the present.
Some linguists such as Michael Fortescue writing in 1998, have argued that the Eskimo-Aleut languages, including Inuit, are a sister language family to the Uralic languages that together form a circumpolar mega-language family. Morris Swadesh in 1962, Holst in 2005, and others dating back to the 1746 CE, have made similar proposals.
From a historical timing perspective, however, the Saqqaq (Arctic Paleo-Eskimos) which was present 2000-2500 BCE (the best ancient DNA example of which had Y-DNA Q1a, mtDNA D2a1, and autosomal DNA similar to the modern Koryak people of the Northeast Asia coast) , or the Dorset (second wave Arctic Paleo-Eskimos) would be a better match, and perhaps left a substrate influence on later Eskimo-Aleut languages (although there are genetic indications that these earlier populations were almost totally replaced in the Americas) which arrived with the Thule around 500 CE. Inuits lack Y-DNA N1b and N1c found in modern Finns and contributed mostly mtDNA haplogroups A (which is absent in the Finns) to the existing indigenous American mtDNA pool, while the Dorset contributed mostly mtDNA D3 (found in modern Paleo-Siberian populations and which is a sister clade to Finnish and Asian mtDNA D5), according to the ancient DNA samples.
The Bronze Age Transition Was Demographically More Important Than The Iron Age Transition
The fact that the Finnish Bronze Age arrived from the Uralic heartland with a probable demic component, while the Finnish Iron Age appears to have include more cultural exchange than demic migration, and the likely powerful capacity of a metal age culture to overwhelm a pre-metal age culture militarily, argues for an arrival ca. 1500 BCE, rather than earlier or later. Certainly, this Siberian centered linguistic family would not have appeared at a time when the cultural influences in Finland were from Rome or Western Europe as it was from 0 CE onward.
One archaeological site from the period is this one and a number of Finnish Bronze Age papers from 2009 can be found here).
The Finnish Iron Age and the Middle Ages
The Finnish Iron Age began around 500 BCE (several hundred years later than in the Mediterranean) and around 0 CE, began to show the influence of trade with the Roman Empire that persisted until about 400 CE. The Migration Period during which there were mass folk migrations of "barbarian" Germanic tribes like the Goths and the Visigoths through Europe extended to Finland's Iron Age from ca. 400 CE to 575 CE and showed increasing Germanic influence in cultural artifacts.
The Migration period and the Merovingian period that followed also coincide historically with Slavic expansion into what is now Orthodox Christian Eastern Europe.
From 575 CE to 800 CE, "The Merovingian period in Finland gave birth to distinctive fine crafts culture of its own, visible in the original decorations of domestically produced weapons and jewelry. Finest luxury weapons were, however imported from Western Europe. The very first Christian burials are found from the latter part of this era as well. The Leväluhta burial findings suggest that the average height of a man was 158 cm [i.e. 5'2"] and that of a woman was 147 cm [i.e. 4'10"]."
Trade with the linguistically Germanic (Indo-European) Vikings (many from Sweden and some of whom started to colonize Finland) followed from 800 CE to 1025 CE during which hill forts started to be erected in Southern Finland in the earliest signs of urbanization.
The Christianization of Finland began in earnest around 1150 CE which was also around the time that Finland begins to appear in the written historic record. Swedish colonization efforts directed at Finland were stepped up in Northern Crusades in the early 1200s CE, bringing with them the other of Finland's two major languages and adding a significant Swedish population genetic component to the overall mix. According to Wikipedia the story then continued as follows:
In the early 13th century, Bishop Thomas became the first bishop of Finland. There were several secular powers who aimed to bring the Finns under their rule. These were Sweden, Denmark, the Republic of Novgorod in Northwestern Russia and probably the German crusading orders as well. Finns had their own chiefs, but most probably no central authority. Russian chronicles indicate there were conflict between Novgorod and the Finnic tribes from the 11th or 12th century to the early 13th century.Trade exchanges during the early Iron Age probably did not lead to language shift, and even the influx of Swedish and other Scandinavian colonists in starting in the Viking era around 1200 CE only led to a bilingual situation with coastal colony towns speaking Germanic Swedish languages with a Finnish substrate and Finnish and Saami remaining living languages elsewhere.
The name "Finland" originally signified only the southwestern province that has been known as "Finland Proper" since the 18th century. Österland (lit. Eastern Land) was the original name for the Swedish realm's eastern part, but already in the 15th century Finland began to be used synonymously with Österland. The concept of a Finnish "country" in the modern sense developed only slowly during the period of the 15th–18th centuries.
It was the Swedish regent, Birger Jarl, who established Swedish rule in Finland through the Second Swedish Crusade, most often dated to 1249, which was aimed at Tavastians who had stopped being Christian again. Novgorod gained control in Karelia, the region inhabited by speakers of Eastern Finnish dialects. Sweden however gained the control of Western Karelia with the Third Finnish Crusade in 1293. Western Karelians were from then on viewed as part of the western cultural sphere, while eastern Karelians turned culturally to Russia and Orthodoxy. While eastern Karelians remain linguistically and ethnically closely related to the Finns, they are considered a people of their own by most. Thus, the northern border between Catholic and Orthodox Christendom came to lie at the eastern border of what would become Finland with the Treaty of Nöteborg in 1323.
During the 13th century, Finland was integrated into medieval European civilization. The Dominican order arrived in Finland around 1249 and came to exercise huge influence there. In the early 14th century, the first documents of Finnish students at Sorbonne appear. In the south-western part of the country, an urban settlement evolved in Turku. Turku was one of the biggest towns in the Kingdom of Sweden, and its population included German merchants and craftsmen. Otherwise the degree of urbanization was very low in medieval Finland. Southern Finland and the long coastal zone of the Bothnian Gulf had a sparse farming settlement, organized as parishes and castellanies. In the other parts of the country a small population of Sami hunters, fishermen and small-scale farmers lived. These were exploited by the Finnish and Karelian tax collectors.
Finland In The Early Modern Era
Swedish domination would continue for centuries, and in the Reformation, the Swedish sided with the Protestant Lutherans against the Catholics and had their own round of witch hunting in the 1600s, including well as a short lived effort to establish a Swedish colony in America near the Delaware-Pennsylvania area from 1638-1655 CE, with at least half of the colonists coming from Finland.
Very hard times followed for the next quarter century resulting in the death of a third of the population in a four year long famine, followed by the death of half of the population in a twenty-one year long war. The population of Finland fell by about two-thirds in a single generation.
In 1696–1699, a famine caused by climate decimated Finland. A combination of an early frost, the freezing temperatures preventing grain from reaching Finnish ports, and a lackluster response from the Swedish government saw about one-third of the population die. Soon afterwards, another war determining Finland's fate began (the Great Northern War of 1700–21). The Great Northern War (1700–1721) was devastating, as Sweden and Russia fought for control of the Baltic. Harsh conditions—worsening poverty and repeated crop failures—among peasants undermined support for the war, leading to Sweden's defeat. Finland was a battleground as both armies ravaged the countryside, leading to famine, epidemics, social disruption and the loss of nearly half the population. By 1721 only 250,000 remained.Constitutional monarchy with a powerful parliament followed in Sweden, but "Finland by this time was [still] depopulated, with a population in 1749 of 427,000." Potato farming (which was a dietary staple of my ancestors) arrived after the 1750s.
In 1809, Finland was annexed to Russia with the assent of a popular assembly.
Mass migration to the United States in the late 19th century was also accompanied by hard times at home in Finland.
Finland secured independence in 1917, followed by a brief civil war in 1918, as a result of the Russian revolution.

• A new display commemorating the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I has opened at the Tower of London, coinciding with the sea of ceramic poppies which has been ‘planted’ in its moat (see our earlier post on the poppies here). The exhibition, housed in the Flint Tower, features photographs and film from 1914 showing how the Tower was used for in the recruitment, deployment and training of the military and as a place for execution. Photographs from today have been combined with those from 1914 to create moving composite images. The display can be seen with general admission entry. For more, see www.hrp.org.uk/TowerOfLondon/.
• A copper element which represented Team GB and was one of 204 – one for each country – used in the Olympic cauldron during the 2012 Games is on display at the Museum of London. It and Paralympic GB’s element will be on alternate display in a new gallery, Designing a Moment: The London 2012 Cauldron, which follows the cauldron’s journey its design and manufacture to its unveiling, ceremonial role, and legacy. The gallery features two seven metre long sections of the cauldron, which was designed by Heatherwick Studio and which featured one element for each country represented at the Games and then for the Paralympics. Until 27th August, it will also feature the Team GB’s element which will then be returned to the British Olympic Association/British Olympic Foundation and replaced with the Paralympics GB copper element, on loan from the British Paralympic Association, which will remain on show until 23rd October, after which it will be replaced by an unassigned Paralympic copper element. Admission is free. For more, see www.museumoflondon.org.uk.
• A portrait of author Roald Dahl as a young RAF pilot during World War II has gone on show at the National Portrait Gallery near Trafalgar Square. Painted by Matthew Smith, the work is featured in Colour, Light, Texture: Portraits by Matthew Smith & Frank Dobson, a new display which brings together Smith’s paintings with Dobson’s sculptures. The portrait was painted in 1944 when Dahl was in his late twenties. Found in Room 33, the display can be seen until April 6th. Admission is free. For more, see www.npg.org.uk.

Śīrṣāsana – aligned
In Śīrṣāsana (Headstand) one doesn’t see much of one’s body, only the elbows can be seen. Many of us have asymmetries in the arms, shoulders, and upper back, and this may cause our Śīrṣāsana to be misaligned. Sometimes the legs are tilting to the left or right, and sometimes the pelvis and legs are turned to the left or to the right. Usually, practitioners wouldn’t know whether their pose is skewed and even if the teacher points it out to them, they still tend to keep doing the pose wrong, since it feels right to them. They think that their body is correctly aligned because they are so used to doing the pose incorrectly. Only by repeated practice of a straight and aligned pose, can one overcome such a wrong and sometimes deeply rooted habit.
How does then one measure his or her pose in the setting of a home practice?
As B.K.S. Iyengar points out in Light on Yoga, one can check his or her alignment by doing the pose in front of a mirror. Here I show a different method, which may be more accessible to most practitioners who don’t have a large enough mirror extending all the way down to the floor. A wall corner is found in every house and can be used very effectively to correct the misalignments mentioned above.
Don't miss Eyal's online courses...
How can a wall-corner be used?
Once you can balance without wall support, you can use a corner in the following way:
- Instead of interlocking your fingers, press your palms against the walls on both sides of the corner.
- Place your elbows at shoulder width and go up to the pose.
- Position the middle of your occiput (the back of the skull), your tailbone and the meeting point of your heels against the corner.
- Keeping the back of your head and your heels on the vertical edge move your tailbone and your thoracic dorsal spine away from the corner.
- At the same time, move your lumbar spine towards the corner.
After a while, move slightly away from the corner; stay from 30 to 60 seconds without touching the corner. Then slowly move back to touch the corner with your heels and tailbone. Check if both heels touch it concurrently and symmetrically. Observe how your buttocks are positioned relative to the corner.
Experiment several times and see if you have a consistent tendency to tilt the body or to become crooked. Observe and then correct.
Repeat this practice, until you learn the correct alignment, such that when moving to touch the corner your heels and buttocks are placed symmetrically on either side of the corner
- Sharpen and elongate your spine by bringing its left side to the right and its right side to the left.
- Still another way to align yourself is to do the pose facing a vertical column, a wall or a window edge. Observing such a vertical line can help you check the verticality of the pose.

This is why I love Golf so much, it can take us on many journeys… I was introduced to the game of match play when I joined Kingston Heath Golf Club. The women members were so encouraging and eager to teach me everything I needed to know about the game of matchplay.
After a few years around the club and with my handicap dropping slowly, I put my name down with a group of fellow members and joined the interclub squad.
I think my competitive drive had gone dormant over the years of childbearing, let me tell you my competitive juices are flowing now and I can’t get enough of it.
Interclub is a Women’s Match play competition played for 7 consecutive weeks against other golf clubs affiliated with Golf Victoria. There’s nothing I love better than competing for my Club, as a team, with my fellow friends who are members.:)
Over my journey of playing match play I’ve learned everything there is to know… NO WAIT, WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT, THERE’S HEAPS MORE !!!!!
Let me help you with some tips I’ve learnt along the way…
Don’t take it for granted that your golf bag is prepared, I found checking my bag the day before was a great way to start, charge battery for electric buggy, no more than 14 clubs, new tee’s ( short & long), new balls, pencils, pencil sharpener, pitch repairer, flat markers, a spare glove, umbrella, a couple of small hand towels, all of your wet weather gear, small bag of tissues, rule book, GPS or laser rangefinder, sunscreen, bandaids, panadol, food & fluids. This is where our overnight oats recipe will be handy, having breakfast all sorted and a guarantee that you’ll be able to play out 18 holes to win your match. I also recommend google maps the night before if you are heading to a foreign course in a suburb miles away, then send the directions to your caddy , you need to avoid the scenario – “Getting Lost” it’s not good for the nerves !!
(Good chance you’ll give the team manager reason for freaking out too !)
Having a Plan…
Whether you’re playing in a club match at home or competition match for your club away, before you hit your first practice ball you should know which holes you’ll hit driver on, which pins you will and won’t go after and the trouble spots to avoid. The better your plan for the course — and the better you stick to it — the more competitive and less distracted you’ll be. Play your game. Talk to someone who knows the course or check out the course description on their website to get some information.
Limit the Chit-Chat…
I’m not sure how to say this and I don’t want to offend anyone because a lot of my friends will be reading this BUT NEVER GET DISTRACTED BY FRIENDSHIPS IN MATCH PLAY !!!
EVERYBODY has a mental strategy when they are playing, whoever your opponent is they will be trying to outthink and outplay you to win.
You’ll tend to chat during a friendly round but match play isn’t the time for constant talking to your opponents. Keep your lips sealed, don’t annoy them or distract yourself, and focus on each shot one at a time. When I first started out I thought I needed to be friendly and show respect by chatting to my opponent, I found it only distracted me and took my mind off my plan. It goes without saying that small talk is polite and courteous and showing good sportsmanship is also important.
“When it comes down to it, it’s all about making friends & having fun” … Nikki Wilson
Gimme Putts… when & when not to give them
In the days before your match, anticipate the situations when you’ll concede putts and when you won’t. Concede anything inside 40 cm early in the match, then force your opponent to putt out from similar distances down the stretch. This keeps her from gaining confidence on short putts early on and your sudden lack of generosity may affect her nerves enough to make her miss a gimme. Let’s not forget these tactics have been in the game of golf for centuries and their not coming from me, a very experienced pennant player told me to make your opponent mark her ball no matter how long the putt, there is a certain amount of confidence one gets from picking up a gimme. She said to always hand over the marker or ball when you’ve lost or squared a hole so they don’t reap the reward. I’m getting scary now !!!!!
Out of the blocks…
Some golfers tend to get careless due to nerves on the first few holes of a match. Hey, I get it. There’s lots of golf to play, clever golfers understand that the value of winning the first two holes is exactly the same as winning the last two. This doesn’t give you the green light to blast driver off the deck in the first fairway in order to play well out of the gate. I played in a foursomes semi-final match against two very very experienced pennant/match play golfers and when they beat us on the 14th Lynne kindly talked me through the game of grinding out scores. She said girls who grind out scores are tough to beat in Match Play. Put, simply you need to drain putts at the right time and make good shots at key moments. Think that your opponent is going to win every hole with a par or birdie. If you have a high handicap, it’ll be pars and bogies. But the mindset is the same. You need to at least square the hole in match play.
Simply execute your plan and don’t wait for the seventh hole to do it.
Put on a happy face…
Stay positive. It keeps you focused on your plan and sends the message that you’re the one controlling the match. Do it with body language: Stand tall, keep your head up, add some pep to your step and a tune to your lips. Positive self talk . Stand out shots expecting to make them. It’s not just feel-good mumbo-jumbo. Other studies show that the simple act of smiling creates chemical reactions in the brain similar to those connected with feelings of enjoyment, which helps you shrug off doubt and heighten confidence. And a confident golfer is a dangerous golfer.
Mark the card…
If you get strokes in your match, note where they fall on the card. If they come early in the round, you can play cautiously at the outset — a few solid pars will help you build a quick lead. Knowing where your opponent will get strokes is just as critical to your success. If she gets strokes early on, consider a more aggressive approach (hit driver on tight holes, go after sucker pins, go for that par 5 in two). You want to avoid having to play catch up early in your match. Remember Match play index is different to regular Stroke index.
Don’t be the sucker…
Some days you’ll get an opponent who’s more talented than you. She’ll split fairways and hit greens, tempting you into shots beyond your skill set. If you play her game, you’ll lose.
As an underdog, it’s even more important to play the course, not the opponent. “If your opponent beats you, fine,” “But don’t make it easy for her.” Play your own game as dictated by your own handicap.You may not need to make the green in the same amount of strokes.
Nail it from short range…
When forced to putt from a few feet out, you’ve got to nail it. Not only does missing short putts gift-wrap holes for the other side, it eats away at your confidence to the point where even tap-ins make your knees knock. On the practice green I’m always practicing 4 ft putts but I recommend hammering in putts from one, two and three feet rattling the back of the cup. Seeing the ball go in is a huge confidence boost. You’ll need that swagger when it counts for real.
Watch the course…
Since the golf course is your first opponent, you should make a point of knowing what sort of condition it’s in. Some practice putting before the round will help you with the speed of the greens. As you walk through the holes of the match you should pay attention to flag positions on the upcoming holes. Most important, watch the way your ball and your opponent’s ball behave on landing — this will give you an idea of the hardness and consequential ball rolling distance of the fairways and greens, a factor that affects club selection both off the tee and into the green. Workout which side of the fairway is the best side to approach the green & pin from. Observe the green and look for small swails or hills to use as a backstop for your approach shots
Check out the scorecard to know if the markings from the sprinkler heads are to the front or to the centre of the greens as you will have to use a longer club for the latter if the pin is up the back.
Although this can be a very competitive experience don’t forget it’s just golf and have fun.

Conducting a Miami Background Check in Three Simple Steps
There are lots of reasons in today’s world for running a background check: trying to get someone for a job, someone has started dating your child or due diligence research before recommending a person for any position of trust. The most common results you will be looking for are warrants and records of incarceration, but we will also cover locating court dockets.
Step One – Contacting Miami Police Department
The simplest way to start your Miami background check (keep in mind this is within the city only) is by contacting the Miami Police Department. They have access to both Miami arrest records and Miami warrants. However, because it is the police department and not the clerk’s office, they will not be able to assist you with Miami court records. Their contact details are as follows:
400 NW 2nd Avenue
Miami, FL 33128
Telephone number: 305-603-6477
Once you have made contact with their department, you can tell the officer the information you are looking for and they can direct you to the specific person who will help you with your request.
Step Two – Using the County's Resources to Trace a Person's Criminal History
Once you have pursued the above avenue for information on the city level, you are then ready to move on to the next step of checking with the Miami-Dade clerk of Court. The clerk’s office should be able to help you locate court dockets and information related to previous court proceedings that happened within that county. The fastest way to run your search for Miami-Dade criminal records is to use the clerk’s online database by clicking here
. However you can also visit their office in person or reach them by phone at:
Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building
1351 NW 12th Street
Miami, Florida 33125
In addition to that resource, you can also conduct a Miami-Dade arrest search
contacting county's police department. Their Central Records Bureau is located at the following address:
Miami-Dade Police Department
Central Records Bureau
9105 NW 25th Street
Doral, FL 33172-1500 USA
They should be able to assist you with finding Miami-Dade arrest records as well as conduct an additional background check, provided you can give them the required personal information as outlined in their policy found here
You will find Miami-Dade Warrants by checking with the Police Department’s online database. They also have protocols for requesting public records which you can find by clicking here
. There are fees associated with some police information requests, so please follow the instructions on their website very carefully in order to get the correct information.
Step three – Expanding Your Inquiry to the State Level
If you have gotten this far and still want to check for any other possible warrants or criminal history, you can also follow this link
to check for any Florida arrest records
. Following this link
will let you check to see if the person in question has any outstanding Florida warrants.

Just wondering if pre-order “packages” have been or when they will be announced, I’d like to know what is in each package before Pre-ordering. Thanks I’m new here.
Welcome to the forums!
Nothing official has been announced yet but I don’t there will be as it is not a full price game. But if there is then I bet that they will be announced on Halo Waypoint before anywhere else.
I am pretty certain they haven’t confirmed any Packages like limited edition and such but there is still time.
I think it will be similar to when ODST was released. There wasn’t anything like a limited or legendary edition, but they did have a pack that came with an ODST controller. So I doubt there will be things like pre-order bonuses, but they might sell a version with some kind of Xbox/Halo related merchandise.
Thanks guys, guess I’ll have to wait and see. Glad to join the community.

What if security guards don’t do their jobs?
What if they are not trained in the proper ways?
What about a system that lets employers take a security guard’s badge away?
Or a system where a security employee is not required to go through a background check before they can work?
These are some of the questions posed in the wake of the massive data breach at security contractor Norton, which revealed sensitive personal information from about 1.6 million Americans, including some of their sensitive health information.
The revelation is only the latest in a string of security breaches that have hit companies in recent years.
What we know so far: The breach exposed the personal information of 1.06 million people, including Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, credit card numbers, bank accounts and other sensitive personal details.
Norton CEO Richard F. Norton said the breach was discovered when a hacker tried to access the company’s data systems.
Norton has now confirmed that about 4,000 employees have been affected by the hack.
Norton was the subject of a security breach at its headquarters in San Francisco, California, in January.
It’s unclear how many employees may have been involved.
Norton says about 100 employees are working in its San Francisco office, which was not affected by Tuesday’s incident.
The company is working with the U.S. government to provide security training to employees.
Norton’s CEO said it will not tolerate malicious attacks or misuse of the system.
Norton is not the only company that has been hit by a security-related breach.
In February, security researchers at the cybersecurity firm FireEye revealed that more than 4 million employees at a major online retailer, Target, had their passwords and personal information exposed after they used a website that allowed customers to set passwords.
Target also has said it has taken steps to prevent a similar breach from happening again.
We also know that a major security breach has occurred at a leading cybersecurity firm, Palo Alto Networks, and that another breach at an online payment processor, Stripe, resulted in the theft of personal data of more than 1 million people.
Why Norton has to take steps to protect itself: The massive data leak was first reported by the Wall Street Journal.
Norton also says that it is taking steps to ensure its employees and contractors are up-to-date on their security and that it has a system in place to monitor for suspicious activity.
Norton told CNNMoney that it was only able to respond to the security breach after it received a report from a third party that it had been breached.
That report was not immediately confirmed.
Norton did not immediately respond to requests for comment from CNNMoney.
What is security breach?
A security breach occurs when hackers or other criminals gain access to a company’s system or steal data.
The hacker or hackers can gain access by accessing the systems or systems that control the network, but they usually do not have to do so.
A security guard or employee who is not authorized to access a system or system control is typically responsible for protecting the company and is usually called a security officer or a security engineer.
How does the Norton breach impact people?
Security breaches are common, but the magnitude of this breach is unprecedented.
It is not yet clear how many people were impacted, Norton said.
The breach affected the company from the start, Norton says.
The information was stored in Norton’s servers and the company did not know who had accessed it.
Norton doesn’t disclose the identity of the person who was responsible for the breach, but it’s known that the data was provided to an unidentified third party.
Norton will not release that information publicly until the company is confident that it can protect sensitive personal data, Norton CEO Rich Norton said in a statement.
Norton plans to continue to work with the federal government to strengthen the company.
Norton does not have a password, but Norton employees have access to personal data on the company website.
Norton employees who are unauthorized to access sensitive data are not required by law to undergo security training.
How can companies keep people safe?
The most important thing for companies to do to protect their employees is to use passwords and make sure their personal information is stored securely.
Norton recommends that companies use strong passwords that are not easy to guess and to keep them on the web.
That means using a combination of numbers and letters and numbers and symbols, Norton Security Analyst David Gee said.
Companies also should be very careful about what data they share with third parties, such as financial information or medical data, he said.
Norton Security has created a list of things companies should be doing to keep their employees and their contractors safe, including providing them with proper training on how to access their data.
It also recommends that employers share sensitive information on social media with employees, as well as with third-party providers.
What are the security breaches at companies that have been hit?
Last year, Microsoft revealed that its internal systems had been compromised by hackers who stole data from a database containing sensitive personal and financial information. This time,

Save the Houses
Photo by Adam Kesher
Blogger Adam Kesher is displeased: the “Stalin's” house next to his own is going to be replaced by a new fancy building. These houses, built before the Second World War (1935-1938) or after (till 1955) are notable for their scale, high ceilings so rare in later Soviet block houses, huge halls and thick walls. They have nice backyards and old-style lifts. Situated mostly in the centre of Almaty, “stalinkas” for a long time represented quality and well-being.
Adam wrote (RUS): “This is my yard, as Americans would say – my “community” – which I want to keep for my children and grandchildren. The construction companies say that the replacement is inevitable. This is not true. Anyone who has been to the countries where people cherish their history and their old districts knows that. I would really like the city authorities to spend a part of the budget to renovate the 1930-1950ss buildings, maybe adding some new details to their facades – mosaic, wall-painting, balconies art nouveau … I must be an idiot.”
What Adam is talking about is a part of a bigger government campaign on demolition of the old houses in the city, which is itself just over 100 years old. The maps, which indicate the districts to be demolished, circulated around for a while, even when they were not made public.
The houses, built at the time when Khrushchev was the First Secretary of the Communist Party, from 1953 to 1964, are to be destroyed too. The district with lots of “khrushchevkas” is dubbed “The Golden Square”, and each house is marked with a memorial desk about an artist or a writer that used to live there. Its inhabitants went on a hunger strike, as wrote KUB blog (RUS), demanding fair compensation for their flats. After several days of striking and negotiating, the inhabitants of the houses were promised higher compensation and ended their protest.
Kazakhstanis in Afghanistan
On February 1989, the last Soviet troops were deployed from Afghanistan, where the Soviet Union supported Afghanistan's Marxist People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) government against the Mujahideen insurgents and suffered considerable losses, with hardly any results achieved. Around 22.000 Kazakhstanis took part in this Cold War game, being sent to Afghanistan as conscripts (1.5 years for soldiers and 2 years for officers). 761 people died and were buried in Kazakhstan, 21 dissapeared, according to the Kazakh Military Office's data for 1 January 1990.
neweurasia's Vitaly Mantrov interviewed (RUS) the veteran of the war in Afghanistan, an “Agfhani”, as Kazakhs would say. Sharipzhan Utegenov was 19 when he was drawn to the army and sent to Afghanistan:
“There was an ideology, the need to protect the Southern borders of our Motherland. To say “no” meant to get a public dissaproval. Many didn't want to go, but because of friendship and soldiers’ honor, rarely anyone dared to refuse… I didn't even think about staying, knowing that all my friends would go to war. We were brought up like that …
We didn't realise what Agfhanistan was like, that there was a war. How could it be possible? 1982 was a year of stagnation in the Soviet Union. Peaceful life. The first time I began to comprehend that I was going to war was when we were crossing the Afghan border. On December 12, when we approached the border in the trucks, we were told: “We are now crossing the Soviet-Afghan border. There are combat activities of the opposition. We have to give our brotherly support. We will possibly be shot at. Don't panick, don't jump off the car. Just lie down”. We laughed at it. In half an hour the shooting began… After a while, I had a feeling that I spent all my life in the army, and I had no life before, and I would stay there forever”.
“In 1985 I came back home and I was lost. 1882 was calm and quiet. Then there was “perestroika”. We left the Socialist country and returned to a chaos, pseudo-democracy. Anyone could shout whatever they wanted. There were queues everywhere. No jobs, no salaries. Soul-searching. We came back thinking that the state was waiting for its heros. No one cared, many didn't even know there was a war … There is a feeling that we were used: dropped in the middle of fire when everyone was peacefully studying, earning money, making careers – and then forgotten.
Young people now don't know anything about that war. I was in one school recently. For 40 minutes I spoke about the war in Afghanistan, about politics and its victims. When I finished, one of the pupils said: “How many Germans did you kill?”.
The Red Army Day is still the day …
… when they congratulate men in Kazakhstan.
nemtschin wrote (RUS): Guys, happy holidays! I am from a military family myself. My father was a senior warrant officer, operator and is now a pensioner, my uncle was a Captain, grandfather – a Colonel, ended his service as a head of medical supply of Central Asian military district. I spent my childhood on a military object in DDR, where soldiers and officers visited us, at home we had uniforms, caps, shoulder-straps, and belts, which were often used on me for not observing the subordination … 23 February was always a holiday for my family, even when it was not anymore in Kazakhstan. I was proud when the USSR Minister of Defense was saying in his speech: “Comrades officers!”, I thought he was saying it to my father.

Every year we try to find a special landmark or location to kick off the Great Los Angeles Walk — and this year we're excited to gather in the courtyard in front of the Japanese American National Museum.
Located at 100 N Central Ave, the museum faces 1st Street (between Central and Alameda). From there, 1st Street passes through Little Tokyo, the Civic Center (including City Hall, the Los Angeles Times building and more) before it morphs into Beverly Blvd. just west of downtown.
There's plenty of spots to grab an early breakfast in the area before joining us, and the location is also next to a Metro Gold Line stop. Make sure to gather by 9 a.m. in the courtyard on Nov. 18. (There are no restroom facilities available, except perhaps at nearby businesses.)
Here's some back story on the museum:
The mission of the Japanese American National Museum is to promote understanding and appreciation of America’s ethnic and cultural diversity by sharing the Japanese American experience.We'll see you on Saturday, November 18! Feel free to hit us up with questions, and don't forget to buy a shirt!
We share the story of Japanese Americans because we honor our nation’s diversity. We believe in the importance of remembering our history to better guard against the prejudice that threatens liberty and equality in a democratic society. We strive as a world-class museum to provide a voice for Japanese Americans and a forum that enables all people to explore their own heritage and culture.
We promote continual exploration of the meaning and value of ethnicity in our country through programs that preserve individual dignity, strengthen our communities, and increase respect among all people. We believe that our work will transform lives, create a more just America and, ultimately, a better world.

What are the main benefits & risks associated with using cloud applications?
One of the main risks in my opinion relating to our use of the cloud is ignorance of the implications for doing so.
Before we begin, let us be clear that the cloud has to do with a number of things including, but not limited to, outsourcing Mk2, data centres, external disk/computer, and third-party management.
If we can start to think about the cloud in this context, remembering it is just another file server sitting in another location, we are off to a good start. But that does not necessarily make the cloud a bad thing. What it really comes down to is an robust appreciation of the service, understanding the nuts and bolts, and entering into a relationship that is fully underpinned to awareness, information, robust contractual obligations, and SLA’s.
It is also highly recommended that notwithstanding what third-party providers tell you, you yourself should go investigate the details of each and every service. Please remember that once you have signed on the dotted, neglected due diligence as a result ignorance will show its teeth.

Rapper Cardi B has handed out free winter coats to people at a public housing complex in New York.
Hundreds of people lined the streets near the Marlboro Houses in Brooklyn to meet the star, who grew up in The Bronx.
"I think she's unbelievable, and I think it's great she's doing this for the less fortunate," one fan told US media.
The event was organised by a local designer and friends of the 26-year-old star to help people in the community as winter approaches.
On her official Instagram account, Cardi B posted videos from the event, saying "we couldn't believe how big this was and how many people pulled up".
The rapper also said she hoped to organise something similar "in my borough next".
Cardi B, whose real name is Belcalis Almanzar, shot to fame last year after her first single for Atlantic Records, Bodak Yellow, reached number one in the US and was certified platinum.
More from Cardi B
She gave birth to her first child earlier this year, a daughter named Kulture Kiari Cephus, with her husband, Migos rapper Offset.
Last month, she made headlines following an altercation with Nicki Minaj at a New York Fashion Week party.

The big choice for home decor is the kind of upholstery you choose. Your home furniture, the ambiance, everything gets either lifted up or blown off as a result of the upholstery. You can get a pretty sofa home but can also ruin its look with mismatched cushions.
So what do you do?
We’ve got a solution for this problem. Here are some ideas you can pick to make your home decor feel and look in synergy. Check them out!
Curtains can fill up your room or make it look more spacious. Visual stimulus comes into play when we talk about different kinds of curtains. If you choose Solid Curtains, your room will look spacious and less cluttered. These curtains go well with both solid and floral upholstered furniture. Floral Curtains, however, fill up the room. Small floral patterns may still make the room look wider but if you are looking to fill up a large hall or a living area, curtains with big floral prints will add volume to your space.
Also, you can never overdo with solids but florals should be used in limits when it comes to upholstery otherwise the room may look overpowered by it.
Cushions are used everywhere. They are no longer items of the living room. Choosing cushion covers can be hard. You are confronted with a lot of options yet picking the best one for your home decor can be taxing. You can either go for Solid Cushion Covers or Patterned Cushion Covers.
Solid cushion covers should be used on patterned or floral upholstered sofas, settees, bed covers etc. They can also be used in other solid colors but they bring out the best in patterns and florals.
Patterned cushion covers, if used on already patterned upholstery, hide the charm of both. They look the best when used on solids by not only bringing out their own patterns to the forefront but also lifting the vibe of the room.
Bed covers are different from bed sheets. They are not used for sleeping but for the essential purpose of decorating. Using a subtle bed cover for your room will be soothing if you spend a lot of your time on the bed.
Depending on your wall colour, contrast your bed cover accordingly. If your walls are dark, use a light coloured bed cover and vice versa. Both Solid Bed Covers and Geometric Bed Covers look great with plain walls.
When choosing carpets, we recommend you to buy patterned ones. Such carpets don’t get dirty quickly and they also uplift the basic floor colour. If you keep your carpets super clean, then you can also opt for solids in this category.
So many choices, yet you can only bring home a selected few. Make sure you pick upholstery for each category of furnishing keeping in mind the overall look that you are going for at your home. Happy decorating!

According to Deadline’s report released on Wednesday, Stumptown has been officially canceled at ABC after one season. The fans are not happy with this, as they were eagerly waiting for the show to release.
The series was initially renewed for season 2 in May. But now the decision is taken back. According to sources, the decision was taken as there were some issues because of the Global Pandemic.

It is not possible for the series to return in the fall. So, ABC Network decided not to proceed with another season of the TV series.
The makers have not announced when the filming of the show is going to start. The production and filming of Stumptown is in Los Angeles.
Why ABC Network Cancelled Stumptown?
According to Deadline, the production of the show is delayed due to coronavirus. Because of the delay, the production of the show is not going to finish on time.
So ABC decided to cancel the show as they don’t want to spoil their new shows line-up.
Which are the other shows Renewed with Stumptown by ABC?
The President of the ABC entertainment announced that they are going to renew some shows in the month of May.
They renewed the show taking into consideration the current virus around the world. Along with Stumptown 13 other shows were also renewed by the platform.

Across mainland Europe almost every country is loosening lockdown restrictions and heading back to work, not because the threat from coronavirus has diminished but to do otherwise would invite the biggest economic disaster in 90 years.
Many leaders, including Germany’s Angela Merkel, have warned of the threat of a second wave of infections, and her words have been echoed by health ministers in many other EU countries. In France, the public health chief, Jérome Salomon, said avoiding a second wave of infections remained the top priority.
However, the reality is that without a return to work, many EU member states, not just those with the most fragile economies, such as Italy, face economic and financial ruin on a scale not seen since the Great Depression 90 years ago.
So far, the loosening of lockdown has been boosted by declining infection rates and a fall in the number of deaths recorded on a daily basis, an encouragement to those who argue in favour of opening up national economies that have been so catastrophically impacted by the financial costs of collapsing revenues and expensive bailouts.
Whether a spike in new cases will invoke a second serious lockdown is the fundamental issue, but the question is weighted heavily in favour of returning the economy to work and dealing with the consequences.
Meanwhile, in Monaco on Wednesday no new cases were reported and a total of only 95 people have been infected since the start of the outbreak, 58 of whom have already recovered fully.
Deaths in Italy increased by 323 on Wednesday, compared to 382 the day before, the Civil Protection Agency said, while the daily tally of new infections stood at 2,086, broadly stable from 2,091 on Tuesday. However, Spain recorded an increase in cases to 4,771 new cases from 2,706 on Tuesday, and 453 new deaths, up from 301 the previous day.
In France, the figures are broadly encouraging, with just 509 new cases compared to a recorded 2,638 on Tuesday, but with deaths at 427 compared to 367 the previous day.
In the UK, death figures jumped after the Government decided to come clean about deaths in care homes, adding 4,000 to the death toll overnight. However, according to other, more reliable sources, the UK death toll could be as high as 40,000 plus. Officially, 4,076 new cases and 4,419 new deaths were reported in the UK on Wednesday. The UK has so far said it’s too early to contemplate an end to lockdown, but once again economic imperatives may change that decision.

A recent comment urged the boycotting of Ewan McGregor on the grounds that he has insulted Star Wars fans. I don’t know what he did to make them mad but I think Star Wars should be boycotted on the premise that they were crap films and the sooner the whole merchandising juggernaut disappears the better. Even Grandad thinks they’re rather strange. How long is your lightsaber Grandad?
‘Course I’m probably alone in thinking this but I should start an online petiton. Who’ll sign?
PS. Only joking Conor, about the boycott part anyway!

Digitally Sign an Office of the Federal Register Document
This guide will walk you through the procedures for digitally signing a Microsoft Word document for submission to the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) using your PIV credential or similar digital certificate.
The digital signatory of a document MUST be the same person whose name is typed in the signature block. The names must match exactly or meet the accepted standards listed in the DDH, Ch. 1. To verify the name as applied to the digital certificate, follow the instructions below in the View Signature Certificate in MS Word section.
Using the native Microsoft (MS) Word signing capability applies your Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate to the document, guaranteeing the authenticity of the signer and the document. Once applied, your document is protected and cannot be edited without removing the digital signature. The MS Word signing process saves the signed document under the same filename!
Use MS Word 2010 or later. Only submit “.docx” file types. Older versions of MS Word have no standard method to validate digital signatures. The old file type “.doc” is not compatible with OFR’s digital validation process and is not accepted in the web portal.
Do NOT use the Insert Signature function (under the INSERT tab in the Word ribbon). Follow the instructions below to sign the document invisibly as this is the format OFR will accept.
Add Invisible Digital Signatures in MS Word
IMPORTANT: The following instructions apply to MS Word 2013. The signing process for other MS Word versions (e.g., 2010, 2016, Office 365) may vary somewhat. If you have trouble with the signing process, contact OFR at [email protected] or (202) 741-6020 or your IT support.
- Open your MS Word document in Word. Any changes must be saved before signing.
- If you have a purchased PKI credential installed on your computer, proceed to Step 3. Otherwise, insert your federal government-issued Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card into your card reader.
- Click the File tab.
- Click Info.
- Click Protect Document.
- Click Add a Digital Signature.
- In the Sign dialog box:
- Select a Commitment Type from the pull-down menu.
- In the Purpose for signing this document, type the purpose or leave blank.
- To ensure the correct certificate is used, click the Change button.
- In the Certification Selection box, there may be multiple certificates. Select the first unexpired certificate with your name. Then click the Click here to view the certificate properties link.
- The Certificate Details box appears. Go to the Details tab and scroll down to Key Usage. Single-click on it. The lower text box should now display “Digital Signature, Non-Repudiation” (for PIV card certificate) or “Digital Signature” (for a purchased certificate). If it does, then this is the right certificate. Click OK to close the window and proceed with signing.
- If this is the wrong certificate, click OK. Then select another certificate and repeat these steps until you find the correct certificate.
- Click Sign.
- Follow the prompt to enter your PIN; then click OK.
- If the digital signature certificate and PIN are valid, the document is signed and automatically saved under the same filename! This is the file you submit to OFR via the web portal.
If you are signing multiple documents, leave MS Word open and your PIV card inserted to sign without having to re-enter your PIN for each file.
For multiple-signatory documents (e.g., dual-agency submissions), the first signer forwards the signed document to the next signer, who repeats the signing process on the already-signed file. See the Multiple Digital Signatories in MS Word section below. All digital signatories must have their names and titles typed into a separate signature block in the signature block area of the document.
A digital signature can be removed if necessary. This might be handy if last-minute changes are needed or if a different signatory is desired. Remember that the document will have to be re-signed prior to submission to OFR. See Remove Invisible Digital Signatures in MS Word below.
Multiple Digital Signatories in MS Word
Multi-agency digital submissions are not only possible but recommended. Exactly like paper-and-disk submissions, if multiple agencies are submitting a document for publication, OFR receives only one document, signed by all agencies. For example, if six agencies are jointly issuing a rule, OFR does NOT get six submissions of the same rule. Regardless of the method of submission, the legal requirements are the same; i.e., representatives from all issuing agencies must sign the document (DDH, 1.6). If one or more of the agencies are unable or unwilling to digitally sign, the document must be submitted via the conventional paper-and-disk procedure (DDH).
One of the issuing agencies should serve as the primary or lead coordinating agency. Follow these steps for jointly-issued, digitally-signed documents:
- Save the finalized version of the document as an MS Word file (.docx). Be sure that the digital signatories’ names and job titles are pre-inserted in the signature block area of the document.
- Coordinate among the issuing agencies the sequence of signing; i.e., who signs first and forwards the signed file on for the next signature. Determine which agency will actually submit the signed file to OFR via the web portal once all signatures are completed.
- The representative from the first agency digitally signs the file using the same method as a single-agency submission. See Add Invisible Digital Signatures in MS Word above. All signers must ensure that their names and job titles are pre-inserted in the signature block area of the document.
- Email that signed file to the next agency for digital signature.
- The representative from the next agency in sequence ensures that their name and job title are pre-inserted in the signature block area of the document and then digitally signs the already-signed file. No changes can be made to the signed file without removing the existing signature(s). If changes are required to the MS Word document, the whole process starts anew with the corrected, unsigned Word document.
- If there are more issuing agencies, repeat Steps 4 and 5 until all agencies have digitally signed.
- Once all agency signatures have been applied to the file, the file is sent to the agency that will submit it to OFR via the web portal. From OFR’s perspective, it doesn’t matter who submits the file; we’re concerned with validating the digital signatories.
- The sending agency should include a special handling letter alerting OFR of the multi-agency submission with several signatories. Be sure the special handling letter is digitally signed as well. One signer is sufficient for the special handling letter.
- The sending agency logs into the web portal, uploads the signed MS Word file and special handling letter, and submits.
- The signatures are validated in the web portal. We will also check all digital signatories against their printed signature block in the document. The names must match exactly or meet the accepted standards listed in the DDH. (See Step 1.)
Remove Invisible Digital Signatures in MS Word
- Open the MS Word document that contains the invisible signature you want to remove.
- In the header, you may see the option to View Signatures. Click that button and proceed to Step 5. Otherwise:
- Click the File tab.
- Click Info.
- Click View Signatures. The Signatures pane appears.
- Next to the signature name, click the arrow.
- Click Remove Signature.
- Click Yes.
View Signature Certificate in MS Word
You can check the details of the digital certificate(s) used to sign an MS Word document (e.g., the name assigned to the certificate or expiration date).
Open the signed MS Word document containing the certificate(s) you want to check, or have the signer sign a document via the instructions provided in the Add Invisible Digital Signatures in MS Word section above.
- In the header, you may see the option to View Signatures.
- Click View Signatures in the header or click Info > View Signatures in the Word ribbon. The Signatures pane appears.
- In the Signatures pane, hover on the name of the signer you want to check; then click the small down arrow.
- Click on Signature Details.
- The signer’s name as applied to the certificate is listed, along with the Certification Authority (CA). Click the View button.
- A pop-up window appears. Be sure that the General tab is selected. The valid dates of the certificate are listed. More technical details, such as the certification path and key usage values, are shown under other tabs.
We’ve been using the free GSA Digital Signing Tool to sign documents. Do we need to change?
Not right away, but you need to follow the provided instructions to adopt the MS Word signing procedures sooner rather than later. The GSA Digital Signing Tool is no longer supported and may malfunction.
Will the portal accept both “p7m” and “.docx” files?
Yes, for the time being. Many agencies still use the signing process that creates a “p7m” file for submission via the portal. Since we will accept signed MS Word files with the “.docx” extension, the portal has been configured to accept both on an interim basis.
So “p7m” files will eventually stop being accepted?
Exactly. OFR encourages agencies to make the procedural migration to MS Word signing as soon as possible.
When will you stop accepting “p7m” files?
The end of FY2018, September 30. We’ll give plenty of advance notice, including a blurb on the portal website.
But “p7m” files are how we do it now. It’s worked for years; why change?
The signing process that creates the “p7m” file was adopted more than a decade ago as OFR’s technical and legal standard for ensuring the validity of submissions. Now, the software used to create the “p7m” file is no longer updated or supported; subsequently, it is failing. One of the options under consideration was procuring ongoing technical support for the software, an option that would easily run into hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars over the next few years. However, technological and security improvements in MS Word allow OFR to adopt the native MS Word signing function as the secure standard for digitally signed documents.
I don’t get it. What’s a “p7m” file?
If you don’t know, don’t worry about it. Just follow the provided instructions to sign using MS Word.
What special software do we need to buy and install to make this work?
None. As a federal agency, you should already have MS Office 2010 or later installed. Simply follow the provided instructions to digitally sign your documents.
Do you accept any MS Word file?
No. Your file must be saved as an XML-based MS Word document (“.docx”). If you’re using MS Word 2010 or later, this is generally the default setting. Otherwise, when you save the file, choose “Word Document” (.docx) in the “Save as type” pull-down.
We save everything as a “.doc” file and/or we’re still using MS Word 2007 (or earlier). What are our options?
Paper-and-disk submission. Don’t forget the CD and the signed certification letter!
All we need is MS Word 2010 or later?
Yes, that and your signing credential, either the one on your PIV card or the one your agency purchased that is currently installed on your computer.
We purchased our signing certificates from GPO or another vendor. We use them to sign, which creates the “p7m” file. What do we do now?
If you are using purchased certificates, such as from an Entrust vendor, you can continue to use them. Instead of being on a PIV card, your certificate is installed on your computer. Follow the Add Invisible Digital Signatures in MS Word instructions above to sign your MS Word file.
How do I identify the Purchased Certificates and PIV Card Certificates when signing a document?
When checking for the correct certificate, as detailed in Step 7 of the Add Invisible Digital Signatures in MS Word instructions above, note the different icons for the PIV and purchased certificates:
Some of our signers use MS Word for Apple on iPad. Will this work for PKI submission?
Microsoft has not put that function (PKI-based digital signature) into the MS Word for Mac (Office for Mac) software. We recognize that some agencies have signers who use the Mac platform. We expect to run testing when this function becomes available.
I already have a web portal submission account. Do I need to update it or reapply?

FEMA approved an award in January, 2019 of $2,081,709 to the State of Florida to assist the city of Mexico Beach in defraying the cost of debris removal for Hurricane Michael under FEMA’s Public Assistance Program.
FEMA funds will reimburse the city for the collection, reduction, disposal and site management of debris within Mexico Beach following the October 2018 storm. This is the first project approved under the Public Assistance Program for Hurricane Michael.
Funding for this project is authorized under Section 403 of the Robert T. Stafford Act for Florida to cover Hurricane Michael-related expenses, reimbursing eligible applicants for the cost of debris removal; life-saving emergency protective measures.
FEMA’s Public Assistance grant program is an essential source of funding for communities recovering from a federally declared disaster or emergency. The Florida Division of Emergency Management works with FEMA during all phases of the Public Assistance program and conducts final reviews of FEMA-approved projects.
Applicants work directly with FEMA to develop project worksheets and scopes of work. Following approvals by FEMA and the Florida Division of Emergency Management, FEMA obligates funding for the project. The state then disburses the funds to the applicant.

"The discovery of deeper production and higher pressures has resulted in the need for control equipment for preserving and protecting these great reservoirs of energy; and, in the case of high pressure condensate wells, has resulted in the need for means for preventing freezing or hydrate solidification caused by throttling the production. Development of a successful removable subsurface regulator has enabled operators to reduce dangerously high surface flowing pressures to safe workable limits; and, by moving the point of principal pressure reduction from the surface to warmer subsurface levels, has resulted in complete elimination of freezing conditions in flow lines. Development and operation of the regulator are described, and charts and tables for use in determining proper depths and pressure reductions for preventing freezing are shown. Other results, heretofore considered subordinate, such as reduction and stabilization of condensate ratios, and retarding of water encroachment, have been observed. Possibility of the use of subsurface regulators to establish conditions in the tubing string most favorable for condensate precipitations noted. Further technical research is desired relative to the use of subsurface regulators for controlling temperatures and pressures in the flow string to obtain conditions most conducive to condensate precipitation and an increased condensate recovery"--Abstract, pages 2-3.

Crying foul on director Mikhail Kalatozov’s deliriously unhinged, masterful slice of post-Bay of Pigs agitprop for its unapologetic commitment to ideology would be tantamount to artistic heresy and limpid emphasis on the political over the artistic if the film weren’t such a bold and brazen reclamation of that age-old fact that art is innately political no matter what. Plunging into the revelry of fantastical space as obviously euphoric as Lang’s Metropolis city was demonic, and as bodaciously animated as Lang’s vision to boot, Yo Soy Cuba is an aesthetic vision primarily. But with these aesthetics, the proof is in the proverbial politics to begin with. Separating this far-out vision of a largely fictive representation of Cuban life from its animated muse – its Soviet morality – is at some level impossible: like Eisenstein’s utilization of montage to stage ideas of collective conflict, cinematographer Sergei Urusevsky’s aesthetic revolutions aren’t apolitical. Yo Soy Cuba is a vivacious workout, a Communist high palpably star-struck by the wave of political revolution it presumed (or hoped) was on the horizon, a film bathed in all the passions genuine belief can muster, and a work that marshals an unmediated, even crazed support for Cuban life into a catalyst for unbridled cinematic experimentation positively running wild with screw-loose charisma.
Revolutionary cinema, Yo Soy Cuba isn’t merely a narrative of communist propaganda or a neutered, neutral-styled narrative of social upheaval that still caters (like almost all politically “radical” American films) to the broadly individualistic cinematic style it purports to redress. Instead, Cuba is a unilaterally adventurous, fiercely aestheticized, stylistically contentious rebuttal to the staid capitalist style of production-line American cinema. It’s a glove to the face of not only American politics but American film, weaving between and fluidly intermingling people, places, and objects without privileging any in a distinctly anti-capitalist milieu. Wryly anthropomorphizing the angry island itself with a deadpan melodrama voiceover from the island’s perspective (a voice that cheekily pays homage to Columbus and then throws him to the wolves within seconds) is an early key-in to the film’s desire to explore space rather than simply depict it like most Hollywood pictures. From there, the luxuriant whirlpool of mise-en-scene and cinematography suggests a subjective, revisable sense of place that defies and defeats Hollywood understandings of a stable world sitting by so only people can focus our attention. The camera exhibits a runner’s high, except it doesn’t run so much as glide and saunter through a locale it observes like the camera is one of the island’s limbs. Ultimately, the ever-motile camera adopts a rapturous search for new meaning more akin to a documentary’s active, present-tense quest to brave the unexplored caverns of the world with every shot.
Unlike most American films, where locations and material items are background props – manufactured objects utilized only for protagonists to conquer or otherwise pay no attention to – the frames of Yo Soy Cuba cannot so easily be compartmentalized into “focus” and “backdrop”. The camera doesn’t center lone people, individualized in the frame as foregrounded subjects for whom the rest of the world is merely an obstacle to triumph (thus feeding into the Western liberalist logic of individualism). Instead, Kalatozov comingles not only individual stories of different people but interweaves people with environment in deep-focus shots to tie humanity to the land and individuals to their broader social contexts, to the collective. In contrast to the hyper-directed, linear, pseudo-objective Western film style of America at the time, Cuba borrows French poetic realism and German Expressionism along with Soviet realism to brew up a reflexive, subjective head-space where people are if not one with the world at least part of it rather than totems who rise above it; the way the camera flows between people and moments is a visual approximation, in spirit, of that oft-unclarifiable idea of “collective consciousness” trumpeted by leftist scholars. Like the early Soviet epics of the ‘20s, Yo Soy Cuba is fiercely reticent to accept the American narrativization of cinema; rather than wrapping around the world of an individual in conflict, the film shifts with almost free-wheeling, baroque abandon between stories and angles to suggest, like Eisenstein, that the world is too messy and bedeviling to be compartmentalized into a concise narrative of personal, individual psychology and progress.
All these years later, Kalatozov’s cauldron of political and cinematic radicalism feels less like a hopelessly naïve account of the present than an embittered, poetically realized reflection of a collective, possibly narcotic, dream of a better life. Certainly, as cinema, this rebellious polemical is never complacent to traditional edicts of “realist” storytelling, kindling inveterate passion into visual poetry and a kind of misty vision of desire and possibility. Not a wholly idealized vision either, as a harsh melancholy is inscribed not only into the camera but the characters. The human faces aren’t pristine or smoothed but roughed-edged, bearing the weight of turmoil in the craggy contours of their faces that betray the embattled topography of Cuban life.
The heroes here are fleeting and tentative, all temporally bound by the reality that the film is simply eavesdropping on their lives, destined to move away soon after. A student protester kindles into full-throated zest and then explodes into a parade of death as he becomes a martyr. A pair of farmers brandish rebellion in their own ways: one becomes a freedom fighter stoked in the fires of familial loss and another is heartbreakingly coaxed into burning his life-worth rather than sell his sugarcane farm to an American company. Most pressing of all though may be an impoverished woman resigned to selling herself to a wealthy American (a sequence that conveniently provides an excuse for the film to prowl around the darker corners of Cuban life in a self-critical backhand to its otherwise tourist-bait resplendence). Each sequence in its own way interrogates the supposed fading away of slavery, proposing that, rather than being explicitly forced into slavery, non-whites are now often coerced by necessity into selling their selves.
Each tale is not simply hyperbolically exuberant but lyrical, not to mention anxiously worried about the future of Cuban life, which makes it fitting that the real story of Yo Soy Cuba elides any singular person or meaning. The camera sways with the tempo of Cuban life in all its contradictions and fixations, moving with less a sense of America continuity and contiguous space than a feeling or intuition of rhythm, as though the camera isn’t so much capturing or depicting Cuba as embodying its confusion by remaining unable to stick to a single tone or reality. The boozy, hypnotically inebriated camera seems alternately drunk on hope, lost in a desire to escape the world and imagine a better one, or raving and pummeling the frame as though fueled in the spitfire of caustic disdain for capitalist infestation. Whether it’s sidling down the side of a modernist building to perilously induce anxiety about the modern world or imbibing in the enchanted but mysterious jungles of the Cuban nature that must always exist with melancholic awareness of capitalist intrusion on its outskirts, the camera seems to ingest the seething turmoil and tyranny of Cuban life in its very movement. The camera both cackles with Cuba and frowns for it, all the while invested in the exterior world rather than simply any one character.
Ultimately, this film is a state of the union address about Cuban life that, even in avoiding many of the realities of day to day life in Cuba, vividly recalls the fracture and fragmentation of a life it won’t deign to depict in full-on rosiness. Although the sheer luxuriance of the style registers jubilance and rapture, the film’s rebel charge is more stylistically disruptive still. A potentially delectable nightclub fantasia populated by wealthy bystanders traveling through the country(or exploiting it for their own exoticist fantasies) is shrouded in threatening shadows and doused in ghoulishly subversive, askew camerawork to suggest playtime descending into the mire of hell. This sequence is a vault of clandestine nightmares, American tourists rejoicing in presumed excess while the film matches and perverts their excess: Cuban culture – vertical bamboo poles and pained, expressive, ever-still totems – seem to throttle the Americans into an expressionistic prison.
The emphasis on worried emblems of Cuban culture, less symbols than poetic evocations of life trapped in the sidelines of America’s drive to treat Cuba as an object for its own amusement, invoke rage. The kinesis of partygoing (tourist) motion is undercut by the perpetual stasis of the poverty that such tourism is conditioned on, a combustible mixture of harried movement and immobility perched at the gaping maw of rebellion. Even the piercing-bright trees, dwarfing the frame in frequently low angles and filmed in infrared light to make them white-hot flares of pulsing energy, almost scratch the frame – scratch the modern celluloid – like natural wildfire from a primordial origin reacting against the modern world.
To the point of madness, the film is totally confounding, always reconsidering itself to suggest the forced and possibly unresolvable ironies of a life dedicated as a bulwark against capitalist encroachment that is nonetheless infused with capitalist iconography and the material products of the capitalist ethos. Without blinking, the film reminds that even the Cuban poor are shown brandishing products of the very companies that oppress them. Even the Eisensteinian stylistic comparisons hardly hold sway in a film that is smitten with Eisenstein’s ideas of sensual overload and subversive use of contrast-focused editing but hardly as “mechanically” constructed as Eisenstein’s films (meaning that his films function like punctilious clockwork, rather than that they are overly obvious or turgid). Eisenstein maximally focused every moment, every shot, for concentrated impact, staging events like activist-hurled Molotovs of quick-fire editing spreading into increasingly tympanic, staccato frenzies of motion and kinesis. Cuba, while borrowing the non-narrative focus and emphasis on form and movement to convey what narrative content does exist, is less of a balancing act between hundreds of rapid images and themes in contest with one another and more of a day-dreamer, floating freely as its mind cascades through the world around it.
Still, Yo Soy Cuba understands Eisenstein’s notions of visual collision. Although the mechanisms are different, this film is troubling and inviting in equal measure because of how irreconcilable its images are, how much they evoke a contested landscape that elides easy completion. The film barrels from an almost impressionistic opening passage, massaging nature, toward a hedonistic, sex-crazed Western party in a pool that cheekily, perversely fetishizes female flesh in the manner (one presumes the film thinks) of decadent Western lifestyle. And then, the film proceeds to not only engage with but adopt such decadence for a smorgasbord of chiaroscuro lighting, angles as Dutch as Rembrandt, and booming wide-angle lenses that warp the foreground to focus instead on the totality of the frame, the voluminous depth of the background world that contrasts with the typical Hollywood impulse for single-minded focus on the easily controlled foreground without letting any of the background chaos in. Associative editing marshals the seemingly disparate impulses and fronts of life in Cuba into an assemblage of assaultive motion and a tapestry of restless sonic disobedience. As a film, it doesn’t simply grasp at political straws but rock the boat of filmic language. It showcases the divine and the demonic in equal measure.
Yo Soy Cuba is emphatically, almost ritualistically inventive, except nothing about this work – always reconsidering itself in the moment – could ever be so staid and routine to qualify as mere ritual. Imperfect though it is, it also disdains and renders illusory the idea of a stable “perfection”; a surge of pure cinema, it is a statement to not only a way of social life but, importantly, a brave new world of cinematic style and aesthetic abandon manifestly untethered from the capitalist continuity and rationalist cause-and-effect logic of American cinema. A sideways tangent to the rest of cinema, Yo Soy Cuba’s narrative arguments may seem naïve, but its cinematic polemic is astute and primed to corrode its antithesis – capitalist life – in the very brick and mortar of how the camera moves, of how the aesthetic functions. Like Eisenstein’s montage, Yo Soy Cuba’s real argument isn’t its characters but the film itself. This isn’t a film that merely contains a narrative argument about the supremacy of Soviet life; rather, the film is, in its very essence of visual and aural being, an embodiment of the palpable rebel impulse to create an alternative way of life, an alternative style of art inflected with exultancy, melancholy, and morbidity. Sure, it’s fever dream communism rather than the real McCoy, but just try watching and not picking up the pitchfork.

Is CBD great for rest? Lots of people are still not mindful that this typical all-natural herb is a potent all-natural remedy for sleeplessness. There are lots of advantages of CBD for sleep. Yet before you take CBD for rest, make certain to do your research initially.
Some recent research studies suggest that CBD may help you rest better, yet with combined results. And also although there have actually been some motivating research on the capacity of CBD to aid you sleep, scientists say that there are currently no scientific tests that really show CBD can do that at all. In fact, none of the approved CBD products have ever before been accepted by the FDA to treat resting problems. Considering that the FDA has actually never approved CBD for a medicinal usage, it is not unexpected that there is a lot of clashing information on this subject.
2 of the most usual uses CBD for rest consist of treating anxiousness and boosting mood or anxiety symptoms. Both these areas of treatment are prominent with clients. For example, studies conducted by the University of Geneva in Switzerland record that people that took a whole CBD capsule before going to sleep experienced a decrease in their degrees of anxiousness after the therapy was offered. In some cases, the total amount of CBD taken minimized the patient’s requirement to have any kind of kind of prescription rest aid.
Nonetheless, the greatest indicator that CBD is effective for dealing with sleep troubles might be the relatively low dosage commonly suggested by doctors. For the most part, CBD is available in oil kind, which suggests that the user will need to utilize a vaporizer or oil burner in order to inhale the oil. This is not a trouble for many people, as inhalation of CBD is reported by the majority of customers as fitting and also also satisfying. However, for those that can not locate an oil burner or various other means of inhalation, CBD can likewise be taken sublingually, which suggests that a percentage of the drug is scrubed on the top of the tongue prior to consumption. Dental intake of CBD has not been recorded to trigger any kind of negative negative effects for lots of people.
Along with treating rest conditions like sleeplessness, CBD is believed to be efficient against some even more significant conditions. The American Medical Association has actually accepted some of the even more prominent CBD products for treating youngsters with epilepsy, chronic pain, and nausea or vomiting, among other points. While this is not a full listing of ailments that CBD products might be utilized for, it does show a listing that varies from less major conditions to much more major ones. In addition, several CBD retailers keep in mind that CBD is simply among the many vital oils made use of in aromatherapy. Cbd Tincture Denver
In a comparable style, CBD is utilized to treat some forms of depression as well as stress and anxiety. These conditions are usually treated with psychotherapy as well as prescription drugs, and also the connection in between CBD and sleeping disorders is becoming more noticeable as more interest is paid to just how our sleep patterns affect our state of minds. Some research studies have actually also revealed that CBD is useful in the treatment of chronic anxiety, an ailment that can last for months on end. When trying to find treatments for chronic sleeplessness, remember that some of one of the most encouraging supplements integrate CBD with several various other natural components that are known for their efficiency in enhancing sleep as well as state of mind.
If you intend to try a product that integrates CBD with natural, effective ingredients, there are a couple of internet and gummies on the market that have actually verified to be helpful in the therapy of insomnia. Just browsing “CBD for sleeplessness” will certainly raise a number of products that are suggested for use by victims. Most of these internet site offer examples to test for yourself, and they are reasonably valued. You do not need to buy the entire internet as well as gummy bundle to see if it assists your problem, merely purchase a number of these at different times of the week.
Although many individuals declare success with CBD for rest as well as state of mind, there’s still no definitive scientific proof that the essence does function. Nevertheless, lots of people that have tried it do report positive outcomes, also in the short term. If you do pick to attempt a CBD supplement or two, make certain to talk with your health care company in advance, especially if you’re taking any type of medications or supplements. Your physician can advise a safe and efficient dosage for you based upon your medical history as well as present symptoms. Cbd Tincture Denver

The role of a first responder is to help others. For firefighters, healthcare workers, and police officers, strength and bravery are highly valued—and many first responders adopt a “whatever it takes” mentality. However, constant exposure to traumatic events and life-threatening situations—including the SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus) pandemic within the last year—as well as the stress of working long hours under high-stakes conditions can take a significant toll on mental health. High rates of depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, and suicide make it clear that first responder mental health requires early intervention.
If you’re experiencing mental health symptoms or navigating trauma, help is available. Here’s how mental health programs, therapy, and counseling can help firefighters, law enforcement officials, emergency medical technicians (EMTs), and other responders improve their mental well-being.
Mental health conditions, including anxiety disorders, substance use, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and suicidal ideation are common among firefighters, law enforcement officers, paramedics, emergency medical services (EMS) professionals, and other responders.
According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), public health and public safety workers are exposed to countless hazards throughout their careers that may contribute to mental health concerns, including:
Specific mental health problems can also be brought on from the fast pace of work, as responders are constantly responding to highly stressful and risky calls. According to a study, 69 percent of EMS personnel have never had sufficient time to recover between traumatic events.
According to a 2018 study, law enforcement officers and firefighters are more likely to die by suicide than in the line of duty. Moreover, 85 percent of first responders have reported experiencing symptoms of mental health conditions, with responders in the U.S. facing a significantly higher risk of depression and PTSD.
Supporting and protecting your community can lead to stress, anxiety, and other mental health problems. Ultimately, how you cope with these emotions can affect your well-being, the care you provide to others, and the well-being of your loved ones. Some valuable mental health resources to help you cope include:
From protection against infectious diseases to suicide prevention, first responders play an integral role in strengthening our communities. Whether you’re a healthcare provider, social worker, firefighter, or paramedic, psychotherapy is the first step toward improving your mental well-being.
To find a therapist, reach out to a mental health provider through WithTherapy. We’ll connect you to a licensed therapist you feel comfortable with. One of our experienced, compassionate mental health providers will help you navigate your mental health, overcome trauma, and live a more fulfilling life.

Blockchain cloud computing technologies have enjoyed huge momentum in the past few years. Blockchains are distributed ledgers which enable parties that are unfamiliar with each other to maintain a set of global states. The parties develop consent on the existence, histories, and values of the states. With the rapidly expanding technology landscape, it is both challenging and important to have a full grasp of what the principal technologies offer, particularly in terms of their data processing capabilities. It is predicted that by 2024, businesses will spend around $20 billion every year on blockchain technical services, out of which hyperdata processing tops the list. This article explains the blockchain’s potential for hyperdata processing in today’s evolving commercial landscape.
IBM has more than 350,000 employees, and they have been working on over 500 blockchain projects. The industries where IBM integrates the blockchain cloud computing technology include shipping, healthcare, banking, and food safety.
For instance, IBM’s intelligent logistics platform RoadLaunch combines Internet of Things technology, AI, and Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger blockchain. The project is aimed to transform the way transportation and freight companies operate and use a single platform to cover statistics and other data sets, finance transactions, automation, freight and fleet visibility, as well as other logistics aspects and data. This is one of the clearest and most refined implications of blockchain’s hyperdata processing capability as of today.
When you know what is eventually saved in a blockchain — data — it seems logical that data and analytics leaders in a commercial landscape are taking a leading role in their companies’ blockchain experiments. They are exclusively equipped to harness the early state of blockchain, after years of revolutionising how their organisations use and value data and information, says Nick Heudecker, the research vice president at Gartner.
Integrating the blockchain cloud computing technology with cloud computing leads to a lot of opportunities for better-organised management of valued things, such as stock ownership, legal agreements of all types, and real estate titles.
For instance, a move to cloud computing technology to manage a hyperledger system would vigorously improve the presently used, archaic process of authorisation through a Depository Trust Company (DTC) for stock transfers, which at present, takes three to six days for processing. With cloud storage of the hyperledger blockchains, such transfers could take place in just microseconds. Hyperledger projects to advance this process are already underway.
Edge-computational needs of the Internet of Things, decentralised data storage, and huge improvements in the collaborative processing capabilities of blockchain for hyperdata processing are all now evolving in powerful ways as blockchain cloud computing technology continues to make strides in hyperdata processing in commercial landscapes across all industries worldwide.

*** FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ***
December 21, 2021
Aldelo Announces Release of “Facial AI” Login Feature
Facial Recognition Technology Secures POS, Labor, and Manager Functions
PLEASANTON, CA – December 21, 2021 - Aldelo, L.P., developer of the Aldelo Express Cloud POS restaurant technology platform that includes a native suite of merchant- and customer-facing iOS and Android point-of-sale solutions, announces the release of its “Facial AI” login feature. The first application of the technology for the restaurant industry, Aldelo’s facial recognition solution utilizes a standard tablet for securing access to Aldelo Express POS, timekeeping modules used for tracking employee time, manager functions, and cloud back-office.
Use of facial recognition technology has steadily grown in the mobility, security, health, banking, and retail industries. It is the most natural of all biometric measurements because we recognize ourselves not by looking at our fingerprints or irises, but by looking at our faces. Aldelo’s technology requires no physical interaction or specialized equipment for capturing and authenticating users.

SSL encryption and Google – Making the web safe for you!
Your security comes first in everything we do” – That’s Google’s promise to all of us.
A familiar site to most users, the bright green padlock in the upper left corner of the Google Chrome address bar is the first indicator of a so-called safe website. In an effort to protect consumers and keep the web generally safe, Google developers have made great strides in developing high-functioning algorithms to determine overall security ratings for any given site. Chrome and other browsers employ Google’s safe browsing protocols to notify users of anomalies and threats that can be a regular part of the everyday interaction.
For most casual users, security is a benign issue that only creates a moment of concern when they receive a warning message from their browser. Billions of people rely on their browsers every day to keep personal and financial information safe and secure while they shop, travel, and conduct a range of business on various devices. However, for other business users, developers, and programmers, security is more than a casual concern. They depend on professionals with access and experience to analyze and audit their sites for security issues that can have wide-ranging impacts on reputations and their bottom lines.
Google: Always on the Front Lines
Going back to 2014, Google began rewarding sites that implemented secure encryption keys. At the time, the boost was minimal and did not account for as many points as other non-security related factors. None-the-less, over time, Google development teams have continued to lead the charge in security for safe and secure browsing and interaction.
Among some of the highest guarded secrets on the planet, Google search and rating algorithms change frequently and constantly evolve. One thing that is certain among site developers, however, is that relying on HTTPS protocol is a fundamental baseline for creating secure sites that Google approves of.
In addition to secure programming, Google implements a range of proprietary software-based solutions to elevate a safe browsing experience. From Safe Browsing to Ads Security, in practically every environment, Google is putting security at the forefront of its development efforts. This year, Google will begin requiring all sites to have SSL certificates or face security flags that could have a terrible result on everything from search hits and visits to sales and followers.
Implementing SSL Certificates
Secure sockets layer certificates ensure both site managers and users that their online interaction is conducted at the highest levels of security. They provide an encrypted exchange that Google recognizes as the safety standard. Some fundamental security reasons to rely on SSL, include:
- build trust and reputation among users for increased brand recognition
- prevent cybercriminals and hackers from easily accessing data and disrupting operations
- avoid the Google red flag
Establishing SSL is one of the best practices for maintaining good standing with Google and providing visitors with a safe and comprehensive online experience.
Preparing for Security Enhancements
Managing and updating constantly changing security protocols is a challenge for every business — even those with fully staffed IT departments. Digital security demands the latest training, knowledge, and experience to keep data secure and reduce incidences of loss. Meeting Google’s increasingly strict standards demand more than clever passwords.
Discover how the development professionals at Ameex can audit your personal or business sites for the latest security threats and standards. Our experts can analyze performance, safety, and ensure that your site provides a safe and secure experience for every visitor.

We’ve all been aware that vinegar is not only a delicious chip flavouring but also a brilliant all-purpose cleaner in the home. But did you know that it also has many uses in the garden? The best thing about it is that it’s cheap, and useful for so many things.
WATCH: Charlie makes a vertical garden with frames
Here are a few ways vinegar can help make your garden beautiful.
1. Kill weeds
You can kill weeds by spraying straight vinegar onto them, being careful not to spray onto plants you want to keep. This is a great option if you prefer not to use commercial poisons in your yard, especially if you have pets or kids using the garden.
2. Keep animals at bay
There is no passionate gardener who doesn’t get frustrated by the neighbourhood cats or possums digging in their soil and doing their business among the plants. By soaking a few old cloths in vinegar and hanging them in low places around your garden, animals will be deterred naturally and without risk or cruelty.
3. Cleaning pots
Terracotta pots are something most people have in their gardens. They’re practical and look lovely and classy without taking any of the focus away from the plant growing in them, but can quickly get dirty and aren’t easy to clean.
Try washing them with vinegar; it will quickly get rid of any built-up dirt and restore their colour.
4. Help plants to bloom
Some plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas thrive in an acidic soil environment. Add one cup of vinegar to around four litres of water and add it to the soil of these plants.
5. Get rid of ants
Ants are a frustrating pest to battle! Mix together equal parts vinegar and water, and spray at the entrance of their nest and on the paths and surfaces you find them on.

6. Get your seeds growing
The night before planting, soak your seeds in a solution of 500ml water and 125ml of vinegar to help them germinate better.
7. Repel insects
Insects can cause an enormous amount of damage to your garden, and vinegar can help here too. Spray it around the edges of your garden beds to repel them.
8. Get rid of fruit flies
Whether you have an orchard or you just have a few fruit trees, you’ll know the pain of picking your fruit to find they’ve been infested with fruit flies. In a bottle, mix together one cup of water, half a cup apple cider vinegar, a quarter cup of sugar, and one tablespoon of molasses, then hang the mixture in your fruit trees and wait for the pesky flies to get caught!
9. Keep your tools spick and span
After gardening, soak your tools in vinegar for a few minutes and then rinse them off to keep rust from developing.
10. No more mould
Fungus and mould can be disastrous for our plants, but some are prone to it. Brew some chamomile tea, then add two tablespoons of vinegar to it. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spray onto any affected plants, and repeat until the fungus is gone.

I am a man in my 60’s who as a child was spanked regularly by my teachers, my aunt and my grandmother. My Mother didn’t spank me but my father caned me.
All my punishments except at school were always on the bare bottom. At school this was occasionally the case but mostly over my clothes bottom.
If this was done by female teachers and my aunt ( who was only 8 years older than me) I would experience an erection.
Once when I was staying with her I came back to her flat from the shops but had forgotten 2 items she wanted. She was having a coffee with three of her friends, all a similar age. I was 13 so they were all about 21 or so.
She quizzes me about the shopping and because I had forgotten the two items she told me I was going to be spanked in front of her friends. It was a hot summers day, all I had on was shorts , pants a t shirt and sandals. She made me take off my shorts and pants and put me across her knees. She pulled up my t shirt to my shoulders and spanked my bottom for what seemed like 10 minutes whilst chatting to her friends. I was then fold to remove my t shirt and sandals and stand in the corner with my hands on my head until her friends had left. I was then given a slippering whilst touching my toes.

MiniArt 1/35 L1500S German Cargo Truck Kit First Look
By Dave Manter
|Date of Review||March 2013||Manufacturer||MiniArt|
|Subject||L1500S German Cargo Truck||Scale||1/35|
|Kit Number||35142||Primary Media||Styrene, Photo-Etch|
|Pros||New Subject, wonderful details||Cons||Nothing noted|
|Skill Level||Advanced||MSRP (USD)||$44.99|
The L1500S 4X2 1.5 ton trucks were developed by Mercedes Benz Company in 1941. The L1500s trucks saw wide spread service during World War 2 along with the 4X4 variant Sd.Kfz.70.
Numerous bodies were used on the L1500 chassis such as fire trucks, radio trucks and ambulances. More often than not, the radio trucks and ambulances used the 4X2 chassis.
The L1500S trucks were produced from June of 1941 till July 1944, with production of 4100 trucks in total.
The MiniArt kit of the L1500S truck consists of 404 parts molded in grey styrene, 8 parts molded in clear styrene and 52 photo etch detail parts. Decals are provided for two vehicles. They are:
- 197th Infantry division, 229 engineer combat battalion, Eastern Front, Summer, 1942. Vehicle in overall grey
- DAK 15 Panzer Division, Supply Company, Tobruk area, 1942. Vehicle in overall tan
All of the parts are very well molded and feature really nice details. The wood grain in the cargo bed is very well done and should look great under paint.
Construction begins with the highly detailed full engine. The chassis is made up of individual pieces that will make construction a little more time consuming, but will offer better detail. The front wheels can be assembled turned if you so desire. One nice feature of this kit is that the main tires are cast in styrene. The cab is also highly detailed both inside and out. The fire wall is also fully detailed. Both the doors and the hood can be assembled either opened or closed.
Construction looks to be pretty straight forward and should go pretty quick. MiniArt is to be commended for offering such highly detailed kits of new subjects.
- Fully detailed engine
- Positional front wheels
- Doors can be built open or closed
- Hood can be built open or closed
- Detailed drive train
- Full load of accessories is included
Thanks to MRC for the review sample.

MACON, Ga. (September 7, 2010) - After helping ETSU sweep through the Radford Tournament and earning tournament MVP honors, junior middle blocker Jamie Stancliff (Advance, N.C.) has been named Atlantic Sun Volleyball Player of the Week, the league office announced on Tuesday.
"Jamie is the type of player who gets in the gym early and always wants to get a couple of extra reps when everyone leaves," said head coach Lindsey Devine. "Her dedication and hard work is paying off."
Stancliff started out the tournament strong in helping the Bucs defeat Canisius in a tough five set match on Friday evening. Stancliff tied a career-high with 13 kills on 26 attempts for a .423 hitting percentage. She also added two block assists in the match.
In game two of the tournament Stancliff continued her solid play as she came away with 10 kill on 18 chances for a .444 attack percentage. She also added three digs and five block assists in the tight 3-2 victory over Davidson.
Stancliff capped off the tournament with three kills on just six attempts for a .500 attack percentage in a quick 3-0 defeat of Norfolk State. She also had four service aces and three blocks in the tournament finale for the Bucs. ETSU would go on to win the tournament as they were the only team to finish undefeated on the weekend.
The player of the week honor given to Stancliff was the first of her career and is the first for the Bucs since Amanda Youell won the award in September of 2007.
ETSU returns home this weekend as they will host the Buccaneer Classic presented by Holiday Inn. The Bucs will face Austin Peay, UNC Greensboro and UNC Asheville in the event.

Satellite monitoring of quantity and quality of available biomass in pastoral livestock systems
Pastoral livestock contributes 46% of GDP and is key to LAC's food and social security. Currently, pastoral systems for bovine production face the challenge of increasing their profitability by reducing their environmental impact, since high costs and a growing concern about their contribution to global warming threaten their development. Knowing the quantity and quality of available biomass is key to making management decisions that improve the productive efficiency and profitability of these livestock systems, while allowing monitoring, reporting and verifying the effect of GHG emission mitigation strategies. However, frequent field measurements that cover an entire property are expensive and often impractical. In the last five years, the availability of satellite data on a spatial and temporal scale compatible with weekly management decisions of individual paddocks has advanced enormously, and prediction models of the quantity and quality of biomass based on remote sensors are beginning to appear. For this technology to result in productive improvements, it is necessary to have reliable, locally validated models and mechanisms that make the information available to different users. The main objective of the project is to lower the cost of estimating in real time and with adequate precision the quantity and quality of biomass available in pastoral livestock systems through a satellite tool.
The technological solution
Lower the cost of estimating in real time and with adequate precision the quantity and quality of biomass available in livestock systems in LAC through a satellite tool.
i) Real-time prediction models of biomass quantity and quality available from locally calibrated remote sensors for relevant forage resources in four LAC countries with temperate, subtropical and tropical, semi-arid and humid climates.
ii) Models validated and implemented in demonstration units and commercial farms
iii) Technicians, livestock producers and managers of national GHG inventories trained through workshops. Dissemination material on the activities and applications of the tools developed.
The direct beneficiaries of the project are, on the one hand, livestock producers in pastoral systems of Argentina, Uruguay, Colombia and Costa Rica, who will have information that will allow them to improve grazing management decisions and therefore forage harvesting and profitability of their systems; and on the other hand, the government entities in charge of GHG emission inventories that will be able to more accurately quantify the magnitude and intensity of GHG emissions and thus monitor, report and verify the effectiveness of national mitigation policies.

I am deeply honored to speak with you tonight, as the World Jewish Congress gathers in New York City with the leaders from across the world.
- Trump attempts to make amends for various gaffes in personal address to Jews on Holocaust Remembrance Day
First, I want to thank Ronald Lauder, not only for his many years of friendship - and he truly has been my good friend, he even predicted early that I was going to win the presidency - but also for his leadership of this organization. He has done a fantastic job.
Today we are reminded of this organization’s long and heroic history fighting for the Jewish people. Your brave leaders warned the world of the planned atrocities that sought to extinguish an entire people.
On Yom HaShoah, we look back at the darkest chapter of human history. We mourn, we remember, we pray, and we pledge: Never again. I say it, never again.
The mind cannot fathom the pain, the horror, and the loss. Six million Jews, two-thirds of the Jews in Europe, murdered by the Nazi genocide. They were murdered by an evil that words cannot describe, and that the human heart cannot bear.
On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, we tell the stories of the fathers, mothers and children, whose lives were extinguished and whose love was torn from this earth. We also tell the stories of courage in the face of death, humanity in the face of barbarity, and the unbreakable spirit of the Jewish people.
Today, only decades removed from the Holocaust, we see a great nation risen from the desert and we see a proud Star of David waving above the State of Israel. That star is a symbol of Jewish perseverance. It’s a monument to unyielding strength. We recall the famous words attributed to Theodor Herzl: If you will, it is no dream. If you will it, it is no dream.
Jews across the world have proved the truth of these words day after day. In the memory of those who were lost, we renew our commitment and our determination not to disregard the warnings of our own times.
We must stamp out prejudice and anti-Semitism everywhere it is found. We must defeat terrorism, and we must not ignore the threats of a regime that talks openly of Israel’s destruction. We cannot let that ever even be thought of.
To all of you tonight, who have come from around the world, let it be known, America stands strong with the State of Israel.
The meaning of that state for so many is captured by the words of a German Jewish musician. Escaping Germany before 1937, he settled in the ancient land of Israel. Sometime later, he received a visit from a British official, who found him living in a hut, with only his piano for company. The official recognized the musician and said: This must be a terrible change for you. The musician looked back at him and replied: It is a change - from hell to heaven.
Many of you here today helped fulfill the same dream, the dream of Israel for millions, a dream that burned in the hearts of oppressed and fallen and which now draws the breath of life from a joyous people each and every day.
Thank you for your leadership, for your service, and for your vision of a world that is more free, just and peaceful place for all of god’s people. Thank you and God bless you all.

TV3’s Ursula Halligan has publicly come out as a gay person just a week before the same sex marriage referendum.
The political editor with the television station has called for a “Yes” vote next Friday and said she has received numerous messages of support since her sexuality emerged this morning.
She first revealed she was gay in an Irish Times article today. Ms Halligan said that over the years, as she watched siblings and friends get engaged and married, she distracted herself by studying or working.
“Emotionally, I have been in a prison since the age of 17; a prison where I lived a half-life, repressing an essential part of my humanity, the expression of my deepest self; my instinct to love,” she said.
Speaking this morning, she told how the upcoming same sex marriage referendum prompted her to reveal her sexuality.
“I was surrounded by debate. The issue was on radio, it was on the television. People were talking about it.
“I found myself sometimes getting angry listening to debates, and I was taking it very personally, when I would look up at posters. You can’t help but take it personally because, you feel it is directed at you. Because it is about my life.
“The referendum forced me to confront the issue head on. I realised I couldn’t sit on the fence. It was just too personal. It was my life. I knew this was a big historic moment, and I thought, I cannot remain silent on this issue.
“I had planned to do this about two weeks ago, and my brother Aidan died suddenly of a heart attack and I obviously put everything aside. When I came back to work on Monday, I looked again at what I had written, and I wondered was it too late? Should I bother going ahead,” Ms Halligan said on The Anton Savage Show on Today FM.
“At that point, when I was thinking about it, I got a text from another brother Peter.
“He quoted one of Aidan’s favourite quotes.
“He used to quote Martin Luther King and the quote was: ‘Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.’”
“When Peter texted me that, I knew, I had such a visceral reaction to the text, I thought I had no choice. I can’t remain silent on this,” she said.
“I thought if it helped even one 17-year-old girl or boy to cope with any anxiety they were feeling about their sexuality, well then so be it.
“I thought the only way I could do it was to tell the truth, the full truth, because that’s the only way we move on.”
Ms Halligan revealed she had only told some family members in recent days.
“I have only told my brothers and sisters in the last few days. I had told Aidan just before Christmas. I told my mum about a year-and-a-half ago. But then I pretty much went back into the bunker,” she said.
“I did tell a friend some years ago, but I was couching it in terms that ‘I might be, or I could be, or maybe I’m not. Maybe I haven’t met the right man’, because I really didn’t want to believe it myself.
“The hardest thing was accepting it myself.”
Urusla said she had received “beautiful, warm” responses from her family. She added TV3 have been wonderful.

Manny Collins blocks a punt for Rutgers in a 28-25 win over Louisville on November 10, 2006.
The New York Jets have signed cornerback Manny Collins and re-signed offensive lineman Nick Smith, and punter Jeremy Kapinos and offensive tackle Ed Blanton have been waived. The announcements were made by Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
Smith (6'6", 320) played the 2006 season on the offensive line for San Diego State. He was an all-league first-team performer and received All-America honorable mention honors at Diablo Valley Junior College in 2004, where he was an offensive MVP and team captain. Smith was waived by the Jets on May 16 after signing as an undrafted rookie free agent four days earlier.
Collins (5'10", 190) recorded 68 tackles, two interceptions and four fumble recoveries over four seasons at Rutgers University. The Plainfield, N.J., native intercepted two passes in the Scarlet Knights' season-opening win over North Carolina last season.
Kapinos (6'1", 235) punted at Penn State for four seasons, averaging 41.8 yards per punt. He was signed by the Jets as a rookie free agent on July 2.
Blanton (6'9", 330) spent the entire 2006 regular season on the Jets' practice squad before he was signed to the active roster for the AFC Wild Card game at New England. He was signed by the Jets as a rookie free agent in May 2006.

It just might be our favourite day of the year, Saturday 8th June is World Gin Day – as if we needed an excuse!
Whether at home or on holiday, a classic G&T or a fruity gin cocktail are our go-to drinks. We know that here in the UK gin is one of the most popular spirits around, and we have a delicious array of premium British gins to choose from. However, contrary to what many believe – Britain was not the birthplace of gin. That honour in fact goes to Holland, who first produced gin way back in the 17th century.
Since then the gin industry has been booming around the globe, with G&T being invented in Britain (yes, we’re to thank for that one) and Spain are now the world’s biggest gin consumers. There’s also somewhat of a gin revolution taking place in South Africa following the opening of Africa’s first even gin joint opening in Cape Town back in 2014.
So, with World Gin Day coming up we decided to combine two of our greatest loves – gin and travel – by taking a gin tour around the world.
Have a look at our graphic below to check out 80 of the best gin bars across the globe, and find out about some of the most popular gin brands around the world.

EATON — Two men charged with violent assaults were declared incompetent to stand trial in Preble County Common Pleas Court last week. Judge Stephen R. Bruns presided.
Xavier M. Miller, 19, of West Alexandria, was ruled incompetent to stand trial at a hearing held on March 10. Miller was indicted on charges of attempted murder, felonious assault and domestic violence in August 2019. He was initially ruled incompetent in September following an evaluation conducted at the Forensic Evaluation Service Center in Hamilton.
Miller allegedly assaulted and caused serious physical harm to his mother in July 2019. Miller used a ten-inch knife to carry out the assault, according to court records. Police were called to the victim’s residence in Eaton early in the morning on July 18. Miller was later taken into custody a few blocks from the scene.
Judge Bruns made his ruling after consulting a court-ordered report submitted by Miller’s physician. Bruns ordered Miller to continue to be held at Summit Behavioral Healthcare Center in Cincinnati for at least six months, or “until such time as he can be restored to competency.” Miller has already been held in custody at Summit since September of last year.
Joshua Ruebush, 42, of Eaton, was ruled incompetent to stand trial on charges of domestic violence and assault in a hearing held March 11. Ruebush is accused of assaulting his grandmother. His record includes two previous domestic violence convictions.
A physician’s evaluation found that Ruebush was “unlikely to be restored to competency” within six months, the period of time he is allowed to be held in custody by law without being either charged or committed.
“Given the results of the evaluation, the state would have no option but to ask for the case to be dismissed,” Preble County Assistant Prosecutor Eric Marit said. Marit asked that Ruebush be returned to custody, also at Summit Behavioral Healthcare Center, until such time as civil commitment proceedings can begin.
The defendant’s attorney, Kevin Lennen, objected, however.
“Based on the case being dismissed, I’m not sure on what basis the court would be holding him,” Lennen said.
Judge Bruns ordered the case dismissed. Bruns also ordered the defendant to continue to be held in custody for 10 days pending the completion of commitment proceedings. If those proceedings are not completed by March 21, Ruebush will have to be released.
Also in court Wednesday, March 12:
Kurtis A. Brown, 29, of Eaton, was sentenced on two counts of assault. Additional charges of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest were dismissed in accordance with a plea agreement between Brown and the Preble County Prosecutor’s Office. Brown’s previous record includes charges of breaking and entering, criminal endangering and petty theft.
Brown blamed his dependence on drugs and alcohol for his legal issues.
“I would like the chance to get the help that I need,” Brown told the court.
Bruns sentenced the defendant to 12 months of incarceration on each count, to be served concurrently, with credit for 92 days already served. Bruns indicated he might consider a request for judicial release, however, provided Brown participates in substance abuse treatment while in prison.
“We’re going to see if you’re serious about getting that help,” Bruns said.
Logan Rector, 25, of Richmond, was sentenced on charges of probation violation on an underlying charge of aggravated possession of drugs.
“I have a letter from your probation officer cataloguing your failures to comply, and recommending a prison sentence,” Bruns told the defendant. Bruns said that recent reports indicated things had improved, however.
“You’ve had your first clean drug test in a while, so good work,” Bruns said. “But I want you to know how close you are to having the sun, the moon and the sky fall in on you.”
Christopher R. Smith, 36, of Camden, was sentenced on charges of possession of heroin and illegal conveyance of drugs of abuse onto grounds of a governmental facility, namely the Preble County Jail. Smith’s attorney, John Cunningham, asked the court for a continuance to allow his client to get his family affairs in order, citing the fact that Smith had consistently shown up for court.
“He’s concerned about the possibility of going to prison without having these issues in order,” Cunningham said.
Assistant Prosecutor Marit objected, however, saying Smith had had plenty of time to settle his affairs pending sentencing.
“Him doing what he’s supposed to do — that is, coming into court — is not really a reason for a continuance,” Marit told the court.
Judge Bruns denied the defendant’s request for a continuance.
Cunningham spoke further in his client’s defense before sentence was handed down, saying he hadn’t intended to carry the drugs into the jail, having assumed they were confiscated while police were patting him down.
“He was not trying to defile the sanctity of the jail,” Cunningham said.
Smith also spoke in his own defense.
“This is the first time I’ve ever been in a courtroom and admitted my wrongs,” Smith said. “I’m just asking for a fighting chance for my family.”
Judge Bruns sentenced Smith to three years of community control. A reserved prison term of 36 months could be imposed if Smith violates the terms of his probation.

What’s the weather like in Asia in May?The Asia weather in May can be quite pleasant, with mild to warm conditions across this huge continent and a good deal of sunshine. Famous resorts like Bangkok and Goa will be very hot, like they are all year.
Geographical influencesCountries in the south of Asia and around the Indian Ocean, Andaman Sea and South China Sea are warmer and hotter than those in the north. This is because they’re closer to the tropics, which also means they receive rain for several months of the year. These tropical downpours can be very refreshing on warm days.
AveragesThe weather in Asia in May ranges from temperatures in the low teens in Russia, to around 30°C in India and Thailand. The average daytime temperature in Bangkok is 28°C, with lows of just 20°C at night. In the Goa region during the day you can expect it to be 27°C. Further north in Beijing, China, the average is 21°C and Kazakhstan’s capital city, Astana, is around 16°C. Thailand and Malaysia get between eight to 11 hours of sunshine each day in May, with the sun not setting until 7.15pm in Bangkok. Beijing is moderately dry in May, with 29mm on average, but Kuala Lumpur has around 200mm of rain throughout the month. Across Asia the average humidity level is 48% but the UV levels can be high in popular resorts around Malaysia and the coast of Thailand.

The Waterdrop WD-FC-01 is an affordable filter unit for your household that helps reduce plastic bottled water expenses. With its high-quality faucet mount, the filter can substitute more than 2,000 bottled water that your family can consume in a certain period.
It has a multi-stage filtration system, which provides clean and safe water for your family’s health. The filter can be attached to a kitchen faucet or a standard bathroom.
It further has more properties like a chrome valve and an all-white housing that help switch on the filtration process. We came up with the Waterdrop WD-FC-01 review to help give prior information about it before reaching the market.
Waterdrop WD-FC-01 Features
Flow rate and usage convenience
The water in this filter flows at 0.5GPM. The rate might seem slower but can fill four water bottles in one minute. The filter also has a switch that enables alternating options. You can either switch to get tap or filtered water without struggling.
Doing this helps prolong the filter’s service life. The faucets it comes with have leak-proof technology and have no problem attaching to the different adapters provided.
The Waterdrop WD-FC-01 filter has an upgraded technology that gets rid of lead, chlorine, and other contaminants like fluoride. However, it can only reduce fluoride and not remove it completely.
But that doesn’t stop it from delivering an improved water taste that’s safe for your household use. It also contains innovative ACF material properties for quick and wonderful filtration.
The Waterdrop filter model has a 0.5-micron rating. This gives around 10 times more absorption as compared to other filter systems. The activated carbon fiber filter in it is responsible for high absorption.
As a result, be sure most impurities and VOCs’ will disappear from your drinking water. Its replacement filters come in three-pack.
Design and use
Unfortunately, this filter doesn’t have an indicator for counting down the time when you should change it. But, the company advises that you replace the filter after filtering 320 gallons or every three months. It should operate under temperatures ranging between 41 and 122 degrees Fahrenheit.
More features include a chrome valve that’s great for switching the filter system on. Its dimensions are a weight of 16 ounces, 8 inches in height, the width and length are 2.9 and 7.1 inches respectively. The housing mainly comes in the color white, which gives an impression of something clean.
Additionally, the unit is packed with six different adapters whose variations can fit several faucet sizes and models. You’ll also get silicon washers in the package. Don’t forget that the filter is certified for meeting the ANSI/NSF standards and is also tested independently for quality performance.
As mentioned earlier, the package comes with six adapters fitting various faucets. This means there’s no challenge if your house has standard faucets. Therefore, the installation is almost effortless. There’s totally no need for tools to set up the filtration system.
Your hands are the only thing needed if you believe in your strength. If not, you may need a wrench to help in tightening the parts. In not more than eight minutes, you’d be done with its installation and begin the filtration process check.
Just because its design is made simple to set up even without any technical skills. Moreover, no need for pre-soaking the filter before attaching it.
Why You Should Use This Water Filter?
The Waterdrop Chubby filter pitcher company was established in 2015 aiming to offer people a trusted water purification solution. Truly, the brand acts its course in providing almost all solutions to water issues apart from purification.
It has a high dedication and passion for giving people around the globe quality products for purifying their drinking water to boost their health.

The program is geared toward investing in lasting clean water for sustainability and improved health for these children’s families. For this reason, many individuals love and trust the Waterdrop Company for its helpful work.
More other reasons to choose this filter over others include the sleek design. Most other filters are big and heavy. Its carbon filter is eco-friendly as likened to other filters. The water’s taste is amazing and gives a quick and airy flow using both the faucet and filtered sides.
Installation is very easy. You don’t have to acquire plumbing skills or any other technical knowledge. The filter also retains important nutrients and removes harmful substances such as lead, chlorine, and fluoride. You can enable using filtered or unfiltered water by simply switching the smooth chrome lever. The filter’s price is also affordable and the product functions as intended.

Baltimore Kings News Release
Thursday August 3, 2017
Baltimore, MD –
The Baltimore Kings have added another local player to the professional team, inking former Towson University (NCAA DI) standout Trey Cooper to a one game contract.
Cooper will play against the Washington Fire on September 16, 2017 at Concordia Preparatory School in Towson, Maryland in the Baltimore Kings’ first professional game.
Cooper, an Spanish-American international, played high school soccer at James Blake High School in Montgomery County, MD, and was named Ythlete of the year, winning the Maryland State Cup. Cooper also was a three-year honor roll student and was named to the All-Gazette First Team in 2011.
As a freshman, Cooper started three games for Towson University in their last season before the NCAA DI soccer program was cut. Cooper then spent a season with Real Maryland U-20's in 2014. He then played for Spanish club San Fernando Club Deportivo in preseason in 2014 and 2016. Most recently, Cooper played for the Baltimore Kings’ U-23 team in the summer of 2017.
"Trey spent this entire summer with the U-23 team and was a leader in our backline. His physical presence and composure with the ball at his feet allowed us to win possession and keep the ball out of the back. Our first two signings [David Warburton and Trey Cooper] both came from our summer U-23 program. We remain committed to providing an environment where players have the ability to move up the ranks through our club, rewarding the players that perform. We hope to put these guys up on a stage where they can move on to full-time playing opportunities."
Cooper joins David Warburton (Loyola University - NCAA DI) as the first two professional signings in Baltimore Kings’ history.
More player signings will be announced later this week.
Tryouts for the Professional Team will be held on Saturday August 12, 2017 at Riverdale Baptist High School in Upper Marlboro, MD - TRYOUT REGISTRATION LINK.
About the Pro Team
Baltimore Kings Pro Soccer Club - a Non-League, Independent Pro Soccer Club
The Scouting Process
Players within our organization go through a very structured player scouting process. It's important that interested players understand the process and the importance of timing. The following are the steps you can take on the path to joining our club:
Once tryouts have concluded, players will be contacted with the selection results. Players who have been selected to represent the Baltimore Kings will be offered a contract detailing their base pay and a commission structure (signed players who play in the game will also receive a tryout refund - detailed in contract). Players who are not selected will remain in our player scouting database and will be encouraged to attend future tryouts. The signed Pro Team players will begin training the week leading up to their weekend game. In the months leading up the game, the club will market the event and work to create a great atmosphere surrounding the match. The game will be filmed and shortly after the match, highlights and the full-length game film will be posted online and distributed to each player for their own use. Once the game is played, players will be paid and are free to join or rejoin any team they would like. We will market our players and (if desired) help push them towards full-time professional opportunities with other clubs. Once a player has played for our Pro Team, they will remain in our Pro Player Pool and will be considered for a “call up” for future games (similar to National Team duty for international soccer). As an independent, event-based team, the Pro Team will only play a handful of games per year (e.g. 1 game in the summer, 1 in the fall, 1 in the spring, etc.).
Our primary way of identifying and evaluating potential players is through our tryouts. It is imperative that interested players keep track of and attend our tryouts. Do not wait until the last minute to contact us. If you contact our staff only a few weeks before our game, we will have already completed signing players for that upcoming match.
We will take a conservative, controlled, and personal approach to win one supporter at a time and build a successful professional soccer club in Charm City. In Baltimore's history, there have been over 20 failed professional soccer clubs. Unlike other league systems around the world, winning does not ensure longevity. Professional soccer leagues in the United States currently do not allow for promotion and relegation among teams and even in years immediately after winning a championship, clubs have folded. Success on the field is one of many objectives for the Baltimore Kings, but more importantly it is paramount to create and maintain a strong foundation to base our achievements.

Trent’s passed out on his bed late for class but he has no care in the world while in dream land. He’s quietly asleep when he is rudely awakened by Leo pounding on the door to get him up for class. Leo comes in and can’t believe Trent is not even ready for class. Trent talks Leo into skipping class and instead playing video games. They both grab some controllers and the game is on. Trent is so excited that he is whooping Leo’s ass that he jumps up with joy to reveal his rock hard boner in his tight white undies. Kind of shocked Leos wonders what to do and so he begins to rub the outline of Trent’s cock while the precum starts to ooze out. They begin to suck each other’s hard cocks in the infamous 69. These horned up gamers are taking it deep and sloppy making sure each mouth has a hard dick to suck on. Eventually their mouths tire out and they sit back like true gamers and begin stroking their throbbing sticks next to each other. The one with the best cumshot has to buy drinks. Who do you think will win???Enjoy!

While logging on Wednesday to draft my Good Value vs Bad Value post, I was somewhat shocked to see it would be my 99th entry. So much has changed since December 9, 2012 when I sat down one night to write about my Investor Profile and Philosophy. Moving to a different province, getting married, having a child, and changing roles at work have altered me on a personal level. Although my investing philosophy has remained pretty steady, this blog has evolved from a trade journal to an actual investment blog.
Instead of droning on about change being inevitable, I thought I’d provide two fun stats instead. Afterall, as an accountant, finance professional, and investor…I love numbers. Without further ado, here are two numbers of which I’m extremely proud:
- In the 2.5 years I’ve been blogging, I’ve managed to increase my expected forward dividend income by 103% (insanity!)
- During that same blogging period, my total portfolio value rose by 98%
Although I’ve learned a lot through blogging and made some incredible contacts, there are certain aspects of the process that still puzzle me. For instance, the most popular entry I’ve ever written judged by page views was a now dated, and somewhat bland comparative analysis I did when considering whether to buy Emera Inc or H&R REIT. I have no idea why this entry garnered so much attention, whereas some entries I put a lot of time into, and that still remain quite relevant, never garner many specific views. That said, I still find the main value of having this blog is to be able to monitor my trading decisions, in order to improve my investing process over time. Driving page views has never, and will never will be the goal of my writing.
The obvious question is what’s next for this blog? After beautifying it earlier this spring, and even creating a Twitter account under the Dividends in Hand handle, I don’t have any huge plans. My hope is that my blog continues to be a fun outlet to write about my own personal journey to financial independence through dividend growth investing.

I’ve found a 2010 ICT story – are there others?
by Prof Barry Dwolatzky
About 2 weeks ago I asked readers of the blog if they knew of any examples of AMAZING stuff that the South African ICT Sector would be show-casing at the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
I’ve just found a great 2010 ICT story: Yesterday the National Minister of Science and Technology, Naledi Pandor, launched a new information security system, based on “quantum crytography”. The Quantum Security system, developed by researchers at the University of Zwazulu Natal (UKZN), will be used to secure communication between the Moses Mabhida Stadium (Durban’s FIFA World Cup venue) and the Joint Operations Centre [ for details click here ]
Does anyone know of other examples?

One of the most common questions we get is “Do we still get excited by the props and costumes that come into the studio?” and the answer is, absolutely! One of the best part of working with our private clients, is that they’re more than just collectors. They have deep emotional connections to the movies and their props. As do our artists, so when these pieces of Hollywood history, like this Mel Brooks Spaceballs Dark Helmet pith helmet come into our studio, we feel that same joy and excitement that our clients do.
The dreaded dark lord in Spaceballs, Dark Helmet had a memorable wardrobe change in the movie. This giant pith helmet from that scene arrived in the studio it was missing the tiny door on the front which revealed Rick Moranis’ face during their infamous combing of the desert. Our client hoped that we could come up with a way to replace it to so the helmet would feel more complete on display.
Since we didn’t want to modify the actual helmet, Patrick Louie (one of our movie prop restoration artists) created a replacement piece which fit snuggly into the opening. This way nothing was permenantly attached to the original material and could be easily removed by our client, if he ever wanted to. He then gave the piece a matching texture to the original helmet. The piece was then given to Melissa who gave it a careful and layered paint treatment to match the rest of the helmet.
While they worked on the helmet, Rich began creating the base. A sand dune seemed like the obvious choice for this display but as he was sculpting the foam base, Rich came up with the idea of adding the hair pick. Everyone loved it but because we are crazy people we couldn’t just add any hair comb. We wanted to match the look of the film as closely as possible, so we hunted down a comb that was closest to the original as possible. We then tweaked the shape, painted it black to match the film and even added the vintage style ACE logo seen on the original comb. The client loved the display and you can read his thoughts on it below!
Have an original movie or television prop in need of a unique or themed display? Email or call today and let’s discuss your project!
The helmet and display arrived safely and I’m over the moon! This display elevates the piece totally. No hyperbole, I couldn’t be more thrilled. I knew this piece had the potential (its truly a one-off prop from an incredibly memorable scene) but I was certain it needed a screen accurate replica face flap to properly display… and when I originally reached out, that was all was expecting. I’ve been so excited ever since I realized you were making a dedicated display. This piece needed you and I’m certain the work you did tremendously increased the value of this piece – both in terms of simple enjoyment but also literally in terms of what this piece would sell for if offered (although I have no intention of selling any time soon!). Anyway, I’ll stop gushing. Thank you so much!

The Scriptures for Monday in Holy Week can be found here.
I’ve spent most of my life living in border states – first Texas, then Arizona. If you’ve ever spent time in a border state, and driven right down to the border, you know the borderlands are their own country: not really one thing or the other thing, not just the US or Mexico, but a glorious multi-cultural mix of both, a place where people switch easily back and forth between two languages, sometimes twice in the same sentence. The borderlands are a place where, yes, there’s a bright line between one place and the other, but it’s a porous line, where the cultures leak easily back and forth across the border.
My introduction to border country was years ago in Big Bend National Park in Texas, at a place called Boquillas. At Boquillas, I’m not sure you can still do this, but 20 years ago you could walk down a little dusty path to the Rio Grande River, ring a bell, wait a while, and a thin old man with a creased face and a bowed back would pole a little raft across the river, smile and hold out his hand and help you on board the raft, and you could pay him a couple of dollars to pole you across to the other side. There were no border guards, no walls, no signs, no passports, just a smiling man to pole you across. And when you get to the Mexican side, you see mountains that look the same as on the US side, the same dusty path leading up from the river, but the path is lined with children wanting to sell you a rock for a dollar. And in the tiny dusty town, there’s a cantina where you can get a bean burrito and a Dos Equis, and while away the afternoon while a giant fan blows hot air out of the corner, and a man tries to drown out the noise of the fan with a guitar.
And then you walk back down the dusty road to the river, and the same thin old man as before smiles and holds out his hand, and poles you across again, and you’re back in your home country, knowing that it’s a different place, yet not so different. People who live in the border country know that people move across it all the time, and yet if you look at the border in larger perspective, over centuries instead of years, you realize that it’s not just the people who move, it’s the border that moves, so that the same piece of land can be sometimes in one country and sometimes in another, which explains why the border country is a land of its own, with constantly shifting language, customs, and culture.
Bill Countryman, in his book Living on the Border of the Holy, says that’s the kind of land we live in as priests and deacons – we live in the border land between the physical, material world we are so accustomed to, and the greater spiritual reality that surrounds us at all times and in all places. He writes about this border country we live in: “It is a country in which, at privileged moments of access, we find ourselves looking over from the everyday world into another, into a world that undergirds the everyday world, limits it, defines it, gives it coherence and meaning, drives it. Yet this hidden world is not another world, but the familiar world discovered afresh. It is the everyday world seen at new depth, with new comprehension…. In the border country one discovers connection, roots, limits, meaning. To live there for a while is like having veils pulled away. In the long run we find that the border country is in fact the place we have always lived, but it is seen in a new and clearer light.”
In one sense, there’s a bright line between us and God, between life and death, between humanity and divinity. But in another sense, this borderland we clergy live in is a porous country, with the reality of one world constantly pouring through into the reality of the other. If we’re lucky, we sometimes get to take a day trip to the other side and see what it’s all about, and on our best days we priests and deacons can manage to catch a glimpse of the greater spiritual world, through our prayers and our Bible study, through the great privilege of standing at the altar of our Lord Jesus Christ, through our constant witness at the border of life and death with the people we pastor through baptism, marriage, illness, and burial, through our adoption as best we can of the ministry of loving our neighbors as Jesus has loved us. In all these things we are living on the borders of the holy. We enact the sacraments, we allow the sacred to pour through the ordinary things of this world, we interpret the world to the church and the church to the world.
I remember about a month after I was ordained a priest, I had been through the whole thing: COM and CPE and CDSP, and rounds of approvals and exams, and two ordinations, and I was finally a priest. And about a month later, I had a dream, in which I went back to medical school and became a doctor, and in my dream I was thrilled and happy because I was finally doing something useful with my life. Now, I have never wanted to be a doctor – but I think that dream pointed to a deep insecurity that we clergy sometimes have about our calling – that it’s not really much use to anyone. There’s a part of what we do as clergy that seems impractical, ridiculously romantic, absurdly non-useful for the pressing urgency of our human lives. And yet I think living on the borders of the holy could possibly be the most useful thing any of us could do for the sake of the people we serve. It is our great service to the world – to live in the border country and to constantly call people’s attention to the greater reality that lives on the other side.
If you look at Mary of Bethany in the gospel today, that is what she is doing. Here is Jesus, who Bill Countryman says is not only the true high priest, but “is the very border country in which our human priesthood is lived out; Jesus is the HOLY made flesh.” Jesus lived constantly in that border country, in fact he WAS the borderland, where human and divine are both fully present.
But Mary is the priest, the deacon, the border dweller, who sees the truth of what is happening and who takes priestly action to embody it with ritual. People say women weren’t ordained till 40 years ago; I call BS (as Emma Gonzalez would say), because if there is any clearer picture of a priest than Mary today, I don’t know what it might be. Most people would see an ordinary dinner with friends; Jesus though is busy planning his next day’s arrival into Jerusalem, his great demonstration on a donkey (a donkey!). And Mary understands what no one else sees: she sees the truth of what is coming, she somehow knows he is on his way to the cross, and she anoints Jesus for his death.
And haven’t so many of us been there? Haven’t many of us stood in the border country, seen the death of a beloved parishioner coming before the family understood that was the story being enacted? Haven’t many of us anointed our beloved friends for their burial, prayed over them for them to see and know the greater reality surrounding them, felt the presence of God with them, been the one to declare the moment of their crossing that border? I know I have. And it has been an incredible privilege to stand with people in the moments of their greatest reality – to give thanks for them at their birth, and to anoint them for their death, and to walk with them through all the times in between, and to declare the truth that God is present in all of it.
And haven’t we priests and deacons declared other truths too, the truth of God’s love for us in Jesus, the truth of our calling to love one another, the truth that the border we see between life and death, between us and God, between the ordinary and the transcendent, is not so much a clear bright line, but rather a porous boundary, with God’s love pouring across it and surrounding us at every moment of our lives?
And so many of us have enacted the truth of that love by crossing other borders – by entering into prisons and being the visible presence of Jesus. By working amidst heartbreak, poverty, and disaster, and bringing life and hope and healing. By healing the sick and feeding the hungry and clothing the naked and proclaiming the year of the Lord’s favor. By standing at the altar of our Lord and declaring that the common things of bread and wine are the very body and blood of our Lord, given for us. By being a light to the nations, to open the eyes of the blind and bring God’s people out of darkness.
Bill Countryman says “The only absolute qualification of a priest” (by which he means all baptized Christians who are called to minister to others) “is insight, an insight that comes from some encounter with the arcana, some time spent in awareness in the border country.” And haven’t we had the privilege to be called to that ministry of insight, to be priests and deacons (and even bishops) as Mary was, to proclaim the truth of what is happening in our world in the midst of the everyday and ordinary? That’s the truth of God’s love that is not separated from us by some great divide, but is living and present and pouring across into our lives through the borderland that is Jesus, fully human and fully divine.
So much of our lives as clergy are filled with the mundane – the budgets, the bulletins, the vestry meetings, the people who have urgent complaints about the flowers and the music and the way someone didn’t clean up the coffeepot right. Sometimes this calling can be, let’s face it, irritating and draining. Sometimes people can focus on us in unhealthy ways, blaming us for their problems with God, or else elevating us to a holy status we don’t deserve. Sometimes we can start to believe our own press. And sometimes it’s easy to forget the truth of our calling, our citizenship in this border country.
But the truth is, Jesus was the ultimate deacon (who said, “I am among you as one who serves.”) Jesus was the great high priest, the great shepherd of the sheep. Jesus was the breaker of barriers, the crosser of borders, the builder of bridges, not walls, between God and this ordinary everyday world.
And thank God for this calling of ours – this calling to live out the ministry of Jesus in this holy border country called the church. This is a calling that, for us too, means building bridges instead of walls, breaking down the divisions between people, looking for the sacred in the everyday, respecting the dignity of every human being, doing loving acts of service, speaking the words that bring the gospel to life in this world, reenacting the ritual acts that make the everyday sacred. Re-forming our world in the image of Christ, the crucified one, the borderland between the human and the divine.
And thank God for the one thing that we ultimately know is true: the absolute truth of our faith that we proclaim this Holy Week and Easter. The truth that one day we will approach that border for a final time, that border that is a bright white line between this life and the resurrection life that is promised us through our Christian faith. And we will find that it is not a wall, but only a border, and it will be our turn to cross over that border from life into a new kind of life that we don’t yet understand. And we will look, and the man poling the boat across the river, holding out his hand to us in welcome, smiling as we approach the border, will be Jesus Christ our Lord.

Award-winning poet Raena Shirali will read from her work at 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 12, in-person in the Drapkin Studio in the Lewis Arts complex on the Princeton University campus. Joining her will be Lauren Howard, AG McGee, Sydney Peng, and Emily Weiss – four seniors in Princeton’s Program in Creative Writing who will also be reading from their recent work. Creative writing senior Noel Peng will host the evening. This event opens the 2021-22 C.K. Williams Reading Series, named after the late Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning poet C.K. Williams, who also served on Princeton’s faculty for 20 years. This event, presented by the Lewis Center for the Arts, is free and open to the public, however all guests are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and to wear a mask when indoors. Tickets are available through University Ticketing.
The series showcases senior thesis students of the Program in Creative Writing alongside established writers as special guests.
Raena Shirali is a poet, editor, and educator from Charleston, South Carolina. Her first book, GILT (YesYes Books, 2017), won the 2018 Milt Kessler Poetry Book Award, and her forthcoming collection, summonings, won the 2021 Black Lawrence Press Hudson Prize. Winner of a Pushcart Prize and a former Philip Roth Resident at Bucknell University, Shirali is also the recipient of prizes and honors from VIDA, Gulf Coast, Boston Review, and Cosmonauts Avenue. Her work has appeared in American Poetry Review, Academy of American Poets’ Poem-A Day, The Nation, The Rumpus, and elsewhere. She holds an M.F.A. in Poetry from The Ohio State University and is an Assistant Professor of English at Holy Family University, where she serves as Faculty Advisor for Folio, HFU’s literary magazine dedicated to publishing works by undergraduate students at the national level. She is also co-editor-in-chief of Muzzle Magazine and lives in Philadelphia.
The four seniors, who are pursuing certificates in creative writing in addition to their major areas of study, will read from their senior thesis projects. They are among 31 Princeton seniors who are pursuing certificates in creative writing in addition to their major areas of study. Each is currently working on a novel, a screenplay, translations, or a collection of poems or short stories as part of a creative thesis for the certificate. Thesis students in the Program in Creative Writing work closely with a member of the faculty, which includes award-winning writers Michael Dickman, Aleksandar Hemon, A.M. Homes, Daphne Kalotay, Christina Lazaridi, Jhumpa Lahiri, Yiyun Li, Paul Muldoon, Kirstin Valdez Quade, and Susan Wheeler, and a number of distinguished lecturers and visiting professors

Cardiff Capital Region
It’s understandable that at a time when our economy has crashed and businesses are facing extinction, that people are questioning the need to invest local resources on regional initiatives such as the Cardiff Capital Region City Deal.
When our already disadvantaged communities are facing the bleak prospect of the deepest recession in generations, surely local authorities should be concentrating their efforts on helping local people and businesses here and now, rather than investing in projects and programmes whose local benefits are less clear and which may not deliver for some years?
It’s a tempting argument, but it’s wrong. The deep and probably prolonged recession we are facing is precisely the time when a parochial outlook must be avoided.
The City Deal was forged at a time when we had left the 2009 recession behind us, but were still living in a world of austerity. The economy was growing, but regional GVA in south-east Wales was persistently low compared to the rest of the UK. And although some sectors and regions were doing well, there were pockets of chronic deprivation from Cardiff to the valleys.
Local leaders in politics and business recognised that it was time for a new approach, one in which all our local authorities worked together for mutual success. Our region after all has many assets. It has two major cities, many smaller towns and villages, and rural areas that people want to live in and visit. It has a skilled population, and universities and colleges turning out more skilled people every year. It has good transport connections, although improving the connections within the region is one of the key aims of the City Deal. Above all it has innovative and enterprising businesses working in key sunrise industries with deeply embed local supply chains, holding out the prospect of a more prosperous future.
Now, when the economy is once again in trouble – the worse trouble that any of us will be able to remember – it is counterintuitive to suggest that we should turn our backs on regional co-operation and focus on purely local needs. Because how are people in Blaenau Gwent and Torfaen to benefit from developments in Cardiff? Of what use are investments in Monmouthshire to the citizens of Bridgend? And this isn’t anything to do with a blind focus on the ‘spillovers’ of agglomeration economics, but it is about the social and spatial connections between our places and understanding better the things that bind our communities together. The economy is not the end itself. But, it can be a great means for achieving our aspirations for shared prosperity, better life chances and making a difference to the issues that matter most like poverty and inequality.
The answer to the ‘how’ question is because we are actively and deliberately pooling our efforts and resources to make sure that the benefits of the £1.2bn City Deal are felt in every community and locality across the region. Our investment in the Metro will make sure people in Rhondda Cynon Taf, for example, can easily travel to work, come together or study opportunities elsewhere, whether that’s in Cardiff or Merthyr Tydfil. Our Housing, Strategic Premises and Challenge Funds are all focussed on unlocking economic potential and opportunity in every town and community across the region, through a focus on the problems that need to be solved, rather than presuming we can continue to ‘procure’ more of the same.
Crucially, though, the City Deal is not just about short-term benefits. It has always been about looking 20 or 30 years ahead, at what we need to do to ensure our region’s prosperity in the long term. This has become even more important since the lockdown. Because our recovery needs to be sustainable, it needs to equip our people to succeed in a future that will be different to that we could barely imagine even three months ago.
The lockdown has accelerated some of the historical trends that we were already witnessing. Businesses have adopted virtual ways of working and selling overnight, underlining the need for regional investment in digital infrastructure. Fintech has become more important. Medical devices and diagnostics have shown their crucial relevance in a national emergency.
There is renewed interest in local supply chains. The value of some our unsung heroes in the foundational economy, particularly in the care sector, has been reappraised.
Above all, the experience of working from home, of clean air and quiet roads, has shown clearly the benefits of thinking about how we travel. It ties in with our urgent need to tackle the climate emergency, as well as recognising the likely demand of many to carry on working from home and ensuring a better future balance of office-home-local working.
There’s so much work to be done that demands collaboration, between local authorities and between government, business and the third and academic sectors. It was precisely for such collaboration that the City Deal was constructed, and it is the perfect vehicle for it. Now is not the time to be hobbling its work or calling for ‘new’ structures that are devoid of the democratic legitimacy our communities have the right to expect.

The Atlanta shooting and San Fran attack are more examples of how real racism is for Asian-American women
On Tuesday, the bubble of discouragement only widened, when a man shot and killed eight people at a spa in Atlanta- six of whom were Asian women.
The past year has been difficult on everyone. The COVID-19 pandemic left many navigating through a cloud of uncertainty, while an uprising in police brutality towards Black Americans left others in immense anger. On Tuesday, that bubble of discouragement only widened, when a man shot and killed eight people at a spa in Atlanta- six of whom were Asian women.
While officials have not confirmed if the attack was racially motivated, Robert Aaron Long, 21, was charged Wednesday with eight counts of murder in connection with the attacks.
"Whatever the motivation was for this guy, we know that the majority of the victims were Asian," Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said. "We also know that this is an issue that is happening across the country. It is unacceptable, it is hateful and it has to stop."
This is another addition to the growing amount of hate crimes, geared at Asian Americans, occurring within the U.S. While hate crimes towards Asian Americans are nothing new, we cannot deny the vulnerability Asian women uniquely face. I do not think it was a coincidence 6 of the 8 victims were Asian women.
In fact, Long specifically told police he had a "sexual addiction" and targeted the massage parlors to eliminate his "temptation," as reported by The New York Times. In addition, Long also mentioned he frequented massage parlors in the past, carrying out the attacks as a form of personal revenge.

Again, this is nothing new. It is merely confirmation that male violence seeps heavily into every major institution, and women - especially those of color - are continuously left to pay the price. It also doesn't help a majority of Republicans don't support the Violence Against Women Act, which "creates and supports comprehensive, cost-effective responses to domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking," according to the National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV).
On Thursday, the House of Representatives voted to renew the act, initially created by our current president, Joe Biden, in 1994. Representatives voted 244-172. Of those 244 votes, only 29 were Republicans. On what planet does that make sense? How can our country reinforce a system to protect women, when the majority of its lawmakers don't support an act that denounces violence against them?
"The pandemic continues to reveal deep racial and gender inequalities that impact survivors' lives and jeopardize their safety," Deborah Vagins, president of NNEDV said. "The VAWA addresses the needs of historically marginalized survivors in a number of critical ways."
Within hours after news broke of the shooting, many individuals took to Twitter to voice their frustration on the ongoing violence against Asian Americans within the U.S.

It's time we put safety on the agenda in America. #StopAsianHate #StopAAPIHate"
In addition to Tuesday's shooting, an elderly Asian woman was attacked on Market Street in San Francisco Wednesday. The victim, Xiao Zhen Xie, was reportedly waiting at a traffic light, when a man suddenly approached her and punched her in eye. When I read stories like Xie's, it really makes me question the human race.
But more importantly, we need to address this injustice for what it is: a domestic terrorist attack. Everyone encounters "bad days," here and there. However, they don't lead to murder. Misogyny and racism, on the other hand, do. Society needs to stop making excuses for white terrorists, and hold them accountable for their actions.

Top 3 Video Poker Games
Video poker is an online casino game similar to five-card draw poker but with virtual cards added in to the mix. Additionally it is played on a high-speed computerized machine similar to a slot machine game, usually on a web-based server. The virtual cards are not printed on paper but rather on digital coding that looks similar to the real cards. This card plays are identical to those of land-based casinos.
In most cases video poker machines are easier to win at than slot machines. Because the virtual cards are authentic, the chances of winning at video poker machines are greater. The payouts, too, are more generous. They are manufactured in increments as in slots, and this means you will have more money following the initial deposit. Many times players will make multiple bets on video poker machines because they know they will be spending more in the long run.
To win at video poker you do not need to memorize what hands you are dealt, although this is helpful if you want to find out your odds and win a few on your own. You do, however, have to be able to identify which hand has the best chances of winning. There are two forms of bets in video poker: progressive and no-limit. With a progressive bet the player can choose from the single or maximum of three cards.
With a no-limit game you can find four types of bets: wild cards, straight flush, four of a kind, and full house. With wild cards, a player can have a variety of cards within their hand and lose only whatever is in the pot. A straight flush involves betting that the cards are aces, Kings, Queens, or Jacks. A four of a sort bet entails placing a minimum amount into the pot. If you hit on a four of a sort, you win the pot no matter what another players have in the pot.
In video poker you can tell if you are on a winning streak by watching another players in the video poker room. The person with the most cards once you at the end of the betting round is your winning hand. A no-limit game has a small blind and a one dollar buy in. A wild card pays two dollars and contains a twenty-one card deck. In a video poker game you can tell in case a winning hand includes a high chance of winning by watching how other players play their hands.
In video poker games that feature coins as a form of currency, winning requires getting the right coins. In most video poker machines, you will have to use real cash to win. There are various video poker games where you certainly do not need coins, but you could find that they include bonuses that require coins. This is usually because of promotions which are running. For information on where to get bonus winnings, visit the website for the site where you play the video poker game.
Draw Poker is really a type of video poker which allows you to construct your cards and make a bid. After you have enough bids, the others will pay to draw new cards and the player with the most cards following the current round will have the option of either dropping to produce a new bet or continuing the game and using all their bid count. If there is not enough draw poker chips remaining to go around, there is no payout. That is good in video poker games where players desire to win and do not desire to lose any longer money than they have to.
Deuces Wild is really a version of Hold ’em which has a small flop, making it attractive to players who prefer to 온라인 카지노 사이트 check. You can easily teach and plays well when used wisely. When used right, Deuces Wild could be a very lucrative video poker machine. It is not however, the best option for consistent winners.

I always question for everything around me, until I got the satisfied answer. Sometimes I surprised for my outcome, sometimes I thought that I could always predict the result 🙂 (just kidding). But, even it makes me feel bad or not, I have to face the truth that this is the life. I have no power to change it, especially my past.
Time flies, day by day I recognize that there are so much more interesting things are waiting for me to explore them. But most of them comes to me in very unexpected moments, sometimes I thought they were my destiny: this job, this event, this book, this people, etc,…
Then, when things went not as my wish, I feel so doubt about my life, about what am I supposed to do now? I almost lost my control each time some tiny things are not in the right place.
After more experiences, I can go to conclude that: everything just happen in random way, like millions of aspect, to be tested and tried, then make the random interaction, some become a fragile thing, some vanish in the air, some still exist, but no one could aware that it still in this Earth 🙂
And, think this way make me feel lighter, it encourage me about the prospects of all my abilities.
Fighting, little girl, you finally will find yours.

A small family in a lonely outpost on Mars is attacked by bandits. One of the bandits, Jerry, survives and kills the family father. He attempts to integrate into the family, demanding thirty days to prove himself to the surviving mother Ilsa and child daughter Remmy. Over time, Ilsa seems to warm to him, but after thirty days, Ilsa tries to shoot him. She fails as the magazine of the gun that Jerry intentionally left was empty, and Jerry kills her in the ensuing struggle. Remmy, who resents Jerry's presence, grows sullen and spends much of her time with "Steve", a pet-like robot found in a storage unit. Remmy also discovers that their farm is within a large force field bubble that keeps breathable air inside. This makes clear that the bandits came from outside or another similarly shielded area.
Years pass, and Remmy, now a young woman, remains sullen and almost completely silent around Jerry. They have an argument over whether to have a child, and Remmy decides to run away, but Jerry stops her from doing so. He ties her up and attempts to rape her, but Steve blasts Jerry in the neck with its power-drilling attachment. Remmy frees herself and kills Jerry. Now alone, she decides to depart, leaving Steve to tend the outpost.

Mexico agrees a three year deal
Organisers of the Mexican Grand Prix have formally announced that they have agreed a new three year deal to host the race until 2022. The future of the race was in doubt after this year after the federal government announced it would no longer subsidise the Grand Prix.
However, with the help of Mexico City’s local government, the promoter of the event agreed a new deal with F1 that makes use of private investment to ensure the race remains on the calendar for another three years.
Under the new deal the race will be renamed the Mexico City Grand Prix to underline the involvement of the local government, and the city’s mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, has promised ticket prices will remain the same as previous years.
Sheinbaum Pardo added “The presence of Formula One in the city for a further three more years, was achieved for the first time through a new financing model in which public resources are not used.”
“Previously the Federal Government collaborated with the payment for the event. The Mexico City government will be an intermediary, creating a trust that will raise the private investment required to deliver this international event.”
F1 CEO Chase Carey added “We are pleased to have renewed our partnership with Mexico City, which will now host the Formula One Mexican Grand Prix until at least 2022.”
“Ever since it returned to the championship calendar in 2015, this event has always proved to be amazingly popular with the public and fans, not just in Mexico, but also around the world.”
Mexico was one of five races without a deal, and follows Silverstone in securing a new deal in July, while contract extensions with Spain and Italy are expected to be announced later this year.
Germany is expected to drop off the calendar next season, but the Dutch Grand Prix in Zandvoort will make a return along with a new race in Vietnam.
Cost cap cornerstone for new teams
Formula One CEO Chase Carey says has been talking to new teams who have stressed a cost cap and other financial changes for 2021 are “cornerstones” in terms of any future decision to enter the sport.
A cap of around £150 million, which doesn’t include areas like marketing costs and driver salaries, and the number is fixed and not part of the ongoing negotiations about future rules. In addition, there will be a redistribution of income.
The American says that new entrants have made it clear that the sport needs to provide a healthy business model if they are to come on board. He told Wall Street analysts “Clearly one of the goals in terms of the cost cap is to create a healthier sport.”
“We’ve talked about the competitive goals, but it is equally important that the cost cap creates a business model that is healthy and growing and positive for our existing teams, and potential new teams coming into it. That has been enforced as we’ve had discussions with potential new teams.”
He says everyone has looked at the steps needed in terms of cost discipline as well as a more balanced revenue distribution. Carey insists despite early scepticism, the existing teams have embraced a limit on spending.
Carey remains confident that F1 and the FIA will be able to properly police the cost cap. The planned checks on spending will be tested with all the teams in 2020, although no actual cap will be in place.
Bottas has back up plans
Valtteri Bottas says he has a ‘Plan B’ and ‘Plan C’ if he is not retained by Mercedes as Lewis Hamilton’s teammate next year. The Finnish driver is second in this year’s drivers’ championship but faces an uncertain summer break as he waits on Mercedes to decide on his contract option for 2020.
He faces competition for the drive from reserve driver Esteban Ocon, with Mercedes CEO and team principal Toto Wolff planning to make a decision during F1’s summer break. Bottas started the season well as a strong challenger to his teammate, but has slipped sixty two points behind.
The last two races have been costly, he crashed out at Hockenheim and could only manage eighth in Hungary, and although Wolff says he will not make a decision based on one-off results, Bottas faces a long summer waiting for a decision.
Following the race in Budapest, Bottas said “I’m not really nervous, but for sure it would be nice to hear some news from the team, to know what they want to do as well.”
“But what can I do? I don’t think one race is going to change anything and I’m sure we’ll get some more news soon.” Ocon has been linked to drives at Renault and Haas if he does not secure the Mercedes seat, which could also represent options for Bottas if Wolff’s decision goes the other way.
The Finn said he is already lining up potential options if Mercedes doesn’t retain him, he says that this extra uncertainty over his future is no helping with his title hopes.
Bottas says he doesn’t perform better under pressure.
F1’s profits rises in Q2
Formula One saw a modest increase in profits in the second quarter compared to last year. Liberty Media announced that rose from $585m to $620m for the April to June period, while operating income rose from $14m to $26m.
Meanwhile the teams enjoyed an increase in their combined payments from $307m to $335m compared with the same period last year, with the number linked directly to the overall revenue increase. Revenues increased despite the Bahrain GP, which pays one of the biggest hosting fees of the season, having taken place in the first quarter this year.
Seven races were held in the three months to the end of June.
Liberty Media explained the overall change in revenues: “Race promotion revenue decreased due to the differing fees associated with specific races held in the second quarter of 2019 compared to 2018, partially offset by rate increases in the underlying contracts.”
“Broadcast revenue increased primarily due to contractual rate increases. Advertising and sponsorship revenue increased due to revenue from new sponsorship agreements entered into beginning in the second half of 2018.”
It notes that revenue decreased in the second quarter because of the mix of races, resulting in lower TV production and Paddock Club revenue.
CEO Chase Carey insisted that F1 will hit its financial targets for this year. He added “F1 heads into our summer break on the heels of some unforgettable races. We’re excited by the growing competitiveness of Red Bull and Ferrari the return of Honda as a winning engine supplier.”
McLaren’s big boost from Budapest
McLaren says it has been given a “big boost” for the second half of the season its strong performance at the Hungarian Grand Prix. The British team headed into last weekends race, braced for a difficult weekend because of the e circuit’s low-speed demands not ideal for the car
But the outfit exceeded expectations with a double points scoring finish, including a fifth spot for Carlos Sainz that helped it further strengthen its grip on fourth place in the constructors’ championship.
Team principal Andreas Seidl says the progress shown, helped by a number of upgrades including a new high-downforce rear wing, helped lift confidence about the outfit’s prospects at tracks coming up on the calendar.
He told Motorsport.com, “On a track with a lot of low speed corners, where we had definitely a weakness on the car, to see now that we could cure some of the issues with the updates.”
“We are bringing and understanding the car better and better and how to use it, it is obviously great to clearly have been the fourth quickest car.” Seidl added that was a big boost for the second half of the season because of circuits with low speed sections.
While Sainz was delighted with his second consecutive fifth placed finish in Hungary, he was eager not to read too much into McLaren’s strengths in Hungary – because he felt other factors beyond the updates helped it.
He added “Maybe the Hungaroring has become a medium speed track with Formula 1 cars, because it feels really fast out there and that suits us a bit better than what we anticipated. This kind of black tarmac, as we saw in Austria and Paul Ricard, new surfaces help our performance.”
But admitted the team were surprised by result, and that there was still work to do.
Yu Zhou tests for Renault
Motorsport.com says it has learnt that Renault junior driver Guan Yu Zhou has completed multiple tests in the French team’s 2017-spec car. The Formula Two driver took part in two tests at Paul Ricard and the Red Bull Ring in June at the wheel of the RS17.
The twenty-year-old Chinese driver, who joined Renault as a development driver at the start of the year, then got a third run at Barcelona on Wednesday. Zhou is currently sixth in the Formula Two championship a number of podiums.
Prior to his first tests in the RS17, he demonstrated the Renault-powered E20 in his hometown of Shanghai in April as part of the celebrations surrounding the Chinese Grand Prix, and in July he made another appearance in the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Renault’s F1 managing director, Cyril Abiteboul told Motorsport.com, “We have a very clear sporting target for Zhou and we think he has the ability to be one of the best – if not the best – rookies in F2.”
“So far he has had a very strong season, maybe apart from Baku, which is a difficult track for certain conditions. Every other single race, he has delivered in according to his target.”

“Jesus said, ‘Neither do I condemn you. Go now and leave your life of sin.'” – John 8:11
It is not enough to hate sin. Everyone hates sin at some point for some reason, but while religion teaches us that hating and avoiding sin is all that matters, Jesus shows us that what you hate sin for matters.
A woman was caught in adultery, and the religious leaders of the day dragged her through the streets and threw her in front of Jesus, citing the part of God’s law that stipulated that she should be stoned to death. They conveniently left out the fact that that law, in Deuteronomy 22:22 said that “If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die.” Yet here they were, claiming they had caught the woman in the very act of adultery, but somehow the man they found her doing this with was nowhere to be seen. They also conveniently left out the fact that God gave them these laws for use in regulating immorality as a free people and nation under the direct rule of God, a rule they had lost through their sins so that they were now a conquered people under the rule of pagan kings. Yet here they were, pretending that they were a free people under the rule of God’s law, when the Roman Empire they were occupied by was a daily reminder that the whole lot of them as a people were neither free nor under the rule of God’s law.
Everybody in this story hated the sin, but not for the same reason as Jesus hated it. The man she was sleeping with, the hidden sinner, hated his sin, which is why he hides it. We hide sin because we hate it and know deep down that it is not something we are proud of or would want the world to know about us. But we hate it because it destroys our identity within our community. Instead of the freedom of having one identity, being the same person in public as we are in private, secret and hidden sin forces us to have multiple identities and forces us to keep the dirty ones away from people we love. Similarly, the woman hated her sin, but like all of us when we are caught and exposed, she would have hated her sin because it destroyed her privileges within the community, such as the privilege of having a good reputation. Then there was the Pharisees, with stones in their hands ready to kill her. They hated the sin because it destroyed their control of the community. They are an example of people who love righteousness because it gives them power to control and own others, and when those people fall short, it makes them feel diminished and fills them with anger.
Jesus also hated the sin. But he hated it because it was destroying the people he loved, which is why he is the only one in the story extending grace and mercy to the woman so that she can be freed from her sin. Her lover wanted to benefit from her sin, she wanted to benefit from his, and the mob wanted her punished for both, but Jesus wanted her freed from her sin, and only mercy and grace could do that. So when you see people in society whose sins have been exposed, remember that everyone hates sin, but not in the same way as Jesus, and so taking a stand against sin is not enough. You have to examine yourself to see if your stand against sin is like that of the Pharisee who wants to punish or that of the Christ who wants to rescue. You have to examine yourself to see if your stand is really against sin like Jesus was or only against a certain class of people whose sins you like to treat as worse than others. Taking a stand against sin is not enough, for it matters where and how you take such a stand and whether you do so without with no respect to persons. And if the sin is yours, then you have two options: you can make the mistake of using your sin as an excuse to keep away from Jesus, or you can use your sin as the reason to come to Jesus to give it to him so that you can go back and leave it for him.

By Joe Rector
It’s a world where I’m losing ground. I consider myself technologically educated, or at least I did until recently. That’s when my ignorance became glaringly obvious, and I suddenly felt old and as out of date as a Kodak Instamatic camera.
My iPod Touch stopped working, and I visited the iPhone store to have the battery replaced. Before Christmas, another store offered to replace it for $80, but at the IPhone shop I discovered that I could get a replacement iPod for the same price. Woohoo! I’d discovered a fantastic deal and strutted with a feeling of a super-shopper.
As instructed, I backed up all the information on my iPod. That meant copying music and apps to something called a “cloud.” No, I haven’t the slightest idea what that is; technicians told me to do it, and I did without asking any questions. Once home with a reconditioned iPod, I began the process of transferring my things. Uh oh! Suddenly my apps no longer work on the thing because they’ve been updated and won’t run on my iOS, 4.2.1. DO WHAT? Of course, it took a couple of hours before the problem was diagnosed. Luckily, I still had plenty of apps on my iPhone.
I had my music, and that’s the reason for wanting my iPod in the first place. I prefer to listen to tunes on it rather than my phone. Yes, I know that’s a duplication of services, but for my simple-minded way of thinking, each electronic device should have limited functions.
On a couple of occasions, I stuck the ear buds in and grooved to my favorites as I rode the stationery bike or drove across town. When the gadget wasn’t in use, I turned it off to save the battery life. Upon pushing the button to turn it back on, I discovered the battery was critically low. The thing charged for a couple of hours, and then I stuck it back in the desk. A week later, I retrieved it and discovered the battery was again nearly drained. Frustration set in as I realized another trip to the mall was necessary.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by a scrawny kid with glasses and hair that hung in his eyes. He asked if I had an appointment and when I said “no,” he informed me that one was available in “just 20 minutes.” Okay, this was just like visiting the doctor, and that proved even truer when the appointment time came and no one showed up to help me. In a few more minutes another kid asked if I’d been helped. When I told him I had an appointment, he checked his iPad and informed me that no one checked me in. Then he directed me to a girl who was working with a customer. He interrupted to tell of my problem. She babbled about re-setting something and then worked on.
She told me the process would take 6-8 minutes, and by the time it was done, two women, both in their 60’s, had joined the table. The worker babbled something to one, and the customer looked at me with a questioning face and said, “Okay?”
The worker told me to take my iPod home and to hook it up to iTunes. She said I needed to set it up as a new one and not to hit back-up since that would again affect the battery life. I looked at her and said,
“So, I have to add all the music again, as well as any apps that I might have.”
She shook her head to confirm my tasks and then told me I could search the Internet for old apps that might still be available for my iPod.
I thanked her and turned to leave. As I did, I looked at the customers waiting their turns. All were “old” like me, and I announced,
“This is the geriatric customer service table. It’s a shame grandchildren in elementary school know more about these things than we do.”
All agreed, and I left the store feeling tired and old. Ain’t technology wonderful?

The Government of the Russian Federation is taking measures to expand the agricultural sector and support domestic entrepreneurs in this area. There are state programs for the development of the peasant economy, within the framework of which agrarians and farmers can receive financial assistance. Today we will tell you how to get a grant for the development of agriculture.
Types of grants
Based on the plan for the complete replacement of imported agricultural products with domestic ones, socio-economic measures were developed to support private business in the agricultural sector:
- Grant for the development of peasant farming (hereinafter referred to as peasant farms). A limited amount of funds issued for the purchase of land plots, the construction of agricultural facilities, the supply of communications. Having received such a grant, the entrepreneur must provide accounting documentation on the funds spent.
- Subsidizing loans, provided that they were issued for the development of a farm or its modernization.
- Ability to reimburse financial costs associated with the construction of agricultural facilities.
- Issuance of funds for the payment of the first installment to be paid when purchasing agricultural machinery on lease.
- Competition for the title of "Best Farmer".
Today we will consider in detail a grant aimed at supporting budding farmers and developing existing businesses. Financial assistance is provided not only to farmers, but also to other participants in the agro-industrial sector.
The allocated funds in the form of a grant should be spent on:
- construction, reconstruction or improvement of agricultural structures or individual workshops;
- purchase of specialized equipment for quality control and veterinary examinations of manufactured products;
- improvement or equipping of workshops for the processing of meat, fish, dairy products and vegetables, as well as places for their storage;
- purchase of transport for the transport of agricultural products.
The amount of financial assistance is determined individually for each application, and depends on the type of agricultural activity and the provided business plan. According to the data for 2019, the amount of the grant is up to 5 million rubles. Basically, this is the payment of 90% of the amount specified in the application. The federal budget for 2020-2022 includes special grant programs for start-ups that welcome mixed farming, research in this area, and farming.
Conditions for obtaining a grant for the development of agriculture
A farmer who meets certain conditions can apply:
- Professionalism. The businessman submitting the questionnaire must have a higher profile education and positive recommendations from local authorities. The applicant must have experience in agriculture and a registered operating peasant farm.
- Business plan. The main point in achieving success in obtaining state aid is a correctly drawn up business project that discloses in detail information about the type of activity, project goals, strategy, deadline for implementation, calculations of economic indicators, marketing research on the effectiveness of the chosen direction of peasant farms, ways to attract investors, etc.
- Starting capital. It is imperative that a businessman's current account must have an amount equal to at least 30% of the cost of the business plan, or there must be natural supplies in the form of a herd of cattle or birds.
- The presence of the farm. The applicant must own a peasant farm that has been operating for more than 2 years, with an average number of employees of 15 people, revenue for the previous reporting period from 60 million rubles. without VAT.
- Sales market for finished products. It is best to provide proof of the existence of real buyers, for example, a supply agreement with a major retailer. If they are not there, then you need to analyze the market and calculate the importance of the products for the end user.
The winners of the competition are determined by a special commission established by the Ministry of Agricultural Affairs. When making a decision, take into account all of the above criteria.
The Commission also puts forward certain requirements not only for business, but also for the applicant for state aid himself:

Cuyahoga County Council has introduced talk of ditching its digs at the corner of Lakeside and Ontario.
At a work session last week, members said they might tap into Med Mart and convention center backup funds to enhance the property’s future value.
The plan would make it easier for a developer to knock down the current administration building and invest in, say, a hotel connected to the convention center across the street. Thus far, no such developers have been identified.
Several council members believe the site of the current administration building would be better suited to convention center expansion than county business. “Common sense tells you that five years from now, this building won’t be here,” says councilman Dan Brady.
The county’s $50 million contingency fund, in place to cover unexpected costs, would be used to extend construction of the current convention center’s foundation to ensure that its drainage, wiring, and other infrastructure are connected to the county administration site.
Although a hotel won’t spring up tomorrow, “It would be much less expensive to put the infrastructure in place now than to do it later,” says councilman Dale Miller. Miller and fellow council member Jack Schron say the convention center will have adequate meeting space. “The constraint in the future will be on hotel space,” Schron says.
Though foundation work is already under way, there is no estimate yet for the cost of tying the project to the county site. Attorney Jeff Appelbaum, the county’s point man for the project, advised council that a decision would have to be made soon.
If council goes ahead with the plan, it would require tapping into the county’s contingency fund just five months into a project that’s slated to last 30 months.
Council’s proposal to move county offices follows similar recommendations by the former county commissioners. Although there has long been talk about moving to the county-owned Ameritrust boondoggle building, Miller says that’s probably not a good idea.
“It would be expensive,” he says. “It may be better to build a new building.” —Maude L. Campbell

Founded by Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project in 2005 and was initially fiscally sponsored by Maine People’s Resource Center (MPRC), the Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition, also known as MIRC, grew in size and power from 20 members to 77 members located throughout the state. What began as a small, informal yet vibrant coalition 16 years ago transitioned into today’s full-fledged, independent 501c3 , immigrant-led non-profit organization.
The Maine Immigrants’ Rights Coalition (MIRC) is the convener of a unique, statewide network of 83 organizations, a majority of which are led by people of color – representing diverse ethnic communities across our state. All coalition member organizations are working to create and support programs and policies that promote immigrant inclusion and integration. MIRC represents member organizations that include immigrant constituency groups, advocacy groups, direct service organizations and grassroots community organizations
About Immigrants in Maine
MIRC’s core constituency includes an estimated 87,217 immigrants and refugees, including asylum seekers, undocumented people, and their native children from diverse countries who are living throughout Maine. While MIRC operates statewide, its activities are currently concentrated in the greater Portland metro area. According to 2016 data from New American Economy, there were 24,277 immigrants living in metro Portland, alone – a 3.9% increase from 2011.
As the number of immigrants and refugees in Maine continues to grow, it has become increasingly more important to understand the needs and priorities of immigrants and how to ensure their inclusion and integration into day-to-day life. Policies that create opportunities for well-being and prosperity are needed in Maine, and without organizations like MIRC that have specific policy platforms and work toward them each day, these policies will not come to be.
There is also a dire need to educate lawmakers and the general public about the many ways in which immigrants enrich communities and contribute to economic prosperity. A selection of data points from the American Immigration Council appear below (2017):
- Immigrants make up 3% (44,694 individuals) of Maine’s total population;
- More than 2% of self-employed business owners in Maine are immigrants, and these businesses generate $48,000,000 in annual revenue.
- More than 9 out of 10 (91.8%) immigrants in Maine speak English “well” or “very well.”
- Nearly 4% of workers in Maine’s labor force are immigrants.

T o all who come to this happy place…Welcome! Launched in 2017, my husband Mac & I started the Mickey Mom blog to share our experiences and the knowledge we’ve picked up on our many trips to Walt Disney World. We fully believe that a trip to Walt Disney World does not have to be a stressful experience! After all, you’re at the happiest place on earth, shouldn’t you be happy?
If you enjoy Disney tips and tricks, news, and sharing in other people’s trip experiences, the Mickey Mom blog is the site to add to your reading list. We spend a lot of time giving advice and sharing Walt Disney World info with family and friends, and we’re excited to share the same with you.
AFTER ALL, YOU’RE AT THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH, SHOULDN’T YOU BE HAPPY?
I took my first trip to Walt Disney World at the age of 2 and have been back every year since. In 1998, my family became Disney Vacation Club members, with Boardwalk becoming our “home” resort. Although our actual home base is in the midwest, we’ve made the pilgrimage 1-3 times a year since my first visit.
When my husband Mac and I started dating, he had only visited Walt Disney World twice as a child. I knew at that point I had to take him back! He tagged along on a family trip shortly after and the rest is history. From that point on, Disney World became a very special place for our relationship. He found a way to propose to me on a balcony in Italy (Epcot’s Italy of course), we got married in Disney’s Wedding Pavilion at the Grand Floridian Resort, and had our reception at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
After our wedding wrapped up, we got a magical little surprise, our pregnancy with our baby boy! This led to a gender reveal in front of Cinderella’s Castle and at 3 months old, his first trip (and flight) to Disney! Speaking of kids, we recently announced our second pregnancy in front of Space Mountain. It’s a girl! Do we qualify for Disney obsessed status yet?
Long story short, we’ve had a lot of really big moments at Walt Disney World, and can’t wait to have even more! We’ve done Disney as kids, as adults with no kids, as adults with kids, with money and with no money, not to mention twice while pregnant. We might not go to Disney the most, but we truly do love it. We’re here to help bring a perspective on how to do Disney with a little less stress and a lot of fun no matter your situation.
If you’ve made it this far, we’re glad to have you here, and can’t wait to bring you along on our journey.

With nearly 10 million students across China taking a test this week that will play a huge role in deciding their future, tragedy has unsurprisingly struck again.
On the morning of June 7th, the first day of the gaokao, China’s dreaded nationwide college entrance exam, a young man from Chaoyang city, Liaoning province jumped off a building to his death.
The student was reported to have been aged either 21 or 22 years old, a “repeat student” that returned back to high school hoping to do better on the grueling gaokao.
Afterward, the young man’s parents blamed his suicide on the intense pressure that he was under on the eve of the exam, which is the sole criteria for determining college admissions in China.
The heartbreaking image of the student’s lifeless body went viral on Chinese social media yesterday with netizens lamenting how this kind of tragedy continues to happen year after year without fail … (read more)

Relocating animals is a common thing done to the wild animals. Relocation is done because of many reasons the main one being security. Any animal can be relocated when its security violated and different methods are used.
Rhinos are one of the endangered animal species and for this reason they are highly protected. Because their numbers have reduced dramatically, they are being taken to areas where rangers can keep watch over them all the time.
Over short distances animals are transported using helicopters while hanging upside down. Why do you think this is done. One reason is because this way the animal can get enough air as it is in its unconscious state. Tracks don't provide enough space as the animals are very big and it can suffocate.
Another reason is that transporting them by an helicopter is easy and fast. It only involves tying the animal by the ankles after it has been sedated which can take only three people to do. Using a truck will require many people to lift the animal into the truck.

Continuing our discussion on aesthetics and politics from yesterday . . .
Get ready for a Warhol wave in 2015, and not just at auction. About 40 exhibitions of that artist’s work — much of it previously unseen by the public — will be flooding university art museums and institutions.
This was the lede for a New York Times story about how the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has handed out 14,000 of the artist’s works, obliging curators to do something with them. Warhol is undergoing a Warholian transformation into a high art icon because his artwork are so easily reproducible. If he’s in 40 museums this year, he must be a major artist and we should never forget him.
Warhol is a key figure linking modernism and post-modernism in terms of reproducibility. He is modernist in that his work satisfies Theodor Adorno's demand that modern art must “prove itself equal to high industrialism.” In Warhol’s work both art and culture are commodified and processed as surfaces without any depth in order to demonstrate that, in a mass-mediated culture, shared memories are never entirely free of mass-produced images.
Warhol’s Marilyn series demonstrates the reproducibility of any body, image or event as a commodity. Marilyn Monroe is a commodity in the sense that her image is a figure of desire well established in the American cultural imaginary. We know this because Warhol is one of the people who established her there. Monroe isn't an icon because of her movie performances, which were remarkable but not immortal. Monroe is who she is for us now because Warhol and others so freely and frequently made use of images of her. Monroe is an iconic figure because she has been reproduced so many times.
Walter Benjamin was among the first and still among the most important observers of reproduction in the cultural realm. Among the claims he made about reproducibility was that it frees the artwork from its existence in particular place and time, allowing it to become a means of political and cultural critique. This has always been a controversial claim. In actual practice, defiant images are easily re-appropriated for commercial purposes. The alternative is to stop resisting and swim happily in the image stream. Then you end up with something like Lady Gaga’s theater of being, itself not that far removed from what Warhol did in his Marilyn series.
How are we supposed to approach somebody like Lady Gaga? She’s no Baudelaire—no snark intended. There’s no inner self resisting the marketplace. She has no spleen to vent at her own commodification. Are there any political gestures in her work—beyond the usual post-feminist blandishments about a female performer assuming control over her own image? You can’t rule it out, I suppose. Generally, though, critics limit themselves to wondering if she’s playing with images more cleverly than Madonna did.
There’s a huge divide between Charlie Hebdo and Lady Gaga. The former clings fiercely to the political realm at the cost of artistic value. The latter represents culture as an autonomous sphere outside the political. Are these the only possibilities for politically engaged art? Is it all or nothing?
More on that in my next post.

I form the light, and create darkness; I make peace, and create evil. I am Jehovah, that doeth all these things. Isaiah 45:7 (ASV)
Why would God create evil? Some translations of Isaiah say calamity or disaster, but either way, what would be the point?
The answer is not as difficult as it might appear. If we accept that nothing exists that God did not create, then we must accept that evil did not catch him by surprise. To believe otherwise would be to suggest that God made a mistake and that the universe was defective in design. While many things do not make sense to the human mind, the overwhelming anthropism of the universe demands that we believe everything was created for a purpose.
So, if God knew that evil would enter into the earth, why did he allow it? First, it was to test us and shape us. In this school of souls we call life, we learn more from hardship than we ever will from triumph. It is a sad characteristic of humanity that we turn to God for help more than we turn to him in praise. He wants us to turn to him.
The second reason evil exists is simple. Without evil, free will could not exist.
If there was no good versus evil, we could not choose good. Unless we can choose, we cannot LOVE.
I love those “Life is Good” t-shirts that are popular now. They have such a simple message of truth on them—a positive theology of their own. Life is good, it is just not always easy. God created good and evil to teach us to seek that which is good. All things serve his purpose, even blogs.

Q: HOW CAN I EVEN COMPETE IN A MARKET SO COMPETITIVE?
A: In a competitive market, there are many factors besides offer price that can motivate and influence sellers to accept one offer over another. We have a few tricks up our sleeve to sweeten our offers. Call us today to discuss strategy! We have won offers when our buyer wasn't necessarily the highest purchase price. Ask us how!
Q: WHY DOES EVERY AGENT ASK IF I HAVE TALKED TO A LENDER? DO THEY GET A KICKBACK FROM THEIR LENDERS?
A: In a competitive market, we need to be prepared to move quickly when a buyer is interested in a property. Sellers also prefer pre-approved buyers. Agents ask so they don't waste your time looking at properties for which you may not qualify and to put you in the best position to get an offer accepted.
Licensed Realtors ARE NOT allowed to receive any type of kickback from lenders. Instead, we tend to recommend lenders that demonstrate a proven track record with previous buyers. Many lenders have specialties that may be useful for particular buyers or properties. We are all on the same side and want to work to get you the perfect home.
Q: WHY DO AGENTS OFTEN ASK ME TO SIGN AN AGREEMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENTS BEFORE SHOWING PROPERTIES? I'VE BEEN WARNED NOT TO SIGN ANYTHING.
A: There are typically TWO documents discussed early on when meeting with an agent. Let's cover both in more detail.
One is referred to as either "Definitions of Working Relationships" or "Brokerage Disclosure to Buyer." These forms serve basically the same purpose and are REQUIRED by the Colorado Division of Real Estate to PROTECT BUYERS. This document is to make sure buyers are informed on the different types of agency relationships available and the responsibilities of the agent for each type of relationship. Remember, you are discussing confidential information with your Realtor and often relying on their professional expertise to guide you through the buying process. It is important that you understand what to expect from each type of relationship. This is not a contract, rather acknowledgement of receipt.
The other document often discussed is an Agreement referred to as an Exclusive Right to Buy Listing Contract. The name is confusing, but it's simply a buyer's commitment to work with one Agent and the Agent's commitment to act as a "ficudiary" for the buyer. This is the highest legal duty of one party to another. Being a fiduciary requires being bound ethically to act in the other's best interests. We often refer to it as a "Loyalty Agreement"
Q: DO I REALLY NEED A REAL ESTATE AGENT?
A: Some homebuyers, especially first-time homebuyers, are wary of real estate agents. They think that real estate agents care only about closing the deal and not about them. A small percentage of real estate agents are like that, but the larger percentage care deeply about providing quality service and treating clients honestly and ethically. Remember, it doesn't cost a buyer to use an agent! Many people think they can negotiate a better deal contacting a listing agent directly. Remember, any home in the MLS has already agreed to pay agent fees. They will either pay it to a buyer's and seller's agent or they will pay it all to the Listing (Seller's) Agent. A listing agent can't legally represent both a seller and a buyer. They will either represent the seller and act in his/her best interest or they act as a "referee" and don't act in anyone's interest. Statistically, buyers represented by their own agent can negotiate better pricing and terms than unrepresented buyers.
If you opt to BUY a home without an agent:
You'll have to do your own negotiation and write your own contracts. Negotiating an offer is very different than, say, buying a car, because the risks in buying a home far exceed price considerations. Simply checking the wrong box on a form can dramatically alter the terms of a contract.
You won't have a neighborhood specialist on which to rely. Agents who sell in certain areas know facts about that neighborhood that a seller might not disclose.
You might not receive all of the seller disclosures to which you are legally entitled. Sellers might not purposely withhold a disclosure, but you likely will not know what to request.
You might pay more for closing costs than is customary in your area. Sellers might make you pay for everything, and you won't know the difference.
You'll be left to decipher piles of paperwork filled with contract language. An agent can explain the difference between a disclosure and an agreement, and help you to understand what you sign and what each checkbox and clause really means.
You'll find your own mortgage. You won't know if your lender has a reputation for closing on time or whether you're getting the best rate and terms. We can recommend several qualified lenders skilled in your area of need.
You'll be on your own to determine the types of inspections you should perform. Most buyers don't know how to spot potential problems such as dry rot or wet basements or know how to determine if a sewer inspection is necessary. Should you ask for the septic to be inspected and pumped? Is it required in your area? What about sewer scopes, home inspections, ILC's, Surveys? What inspectors or contractors in the area are respected? Who generally pays for what? These are all questions we help you navigate as a Licensed Agent. We have saved our clients thousands of dollars by simply recommending certain inspections that our buyer would otherwise not have ordered.
According to the National Association of Realtors, 89% of buyers recently purchased their home through a real estate agent or broker, and 5% purchased directly from a builder or builder’s agent.
Statistically, buying WITHOUT and agent may cost your much MORE, particularly since it costs buyers ZERO to have their own representation.
If you opt to SELL without an agent:
89% of homes sellers use a Realtor. For Sale By Owner sales are on the decline and at an all time low. FSBO sales take longer to sell on average and most FSBO sales still have to pay commission to buyers agents. Being a Real Estate Agent is a full time job. A good listing agent does a lot more than simply put you home on the MLS. From, pricing to marketing and contracts to negotiations, you want an experienced partner to navigate what is likely the largest sale of your life.

Greg has been great to work with in our home search. No pressure, very service oriented and lightening fast searches and availability for showings. We highly recommend him.
Linda H via Realtor.com
Greg was very knowledgeable about the properties offered in the Woodland Park area of Colorado. I was looking for a home to spend my retirement in . He was able to pull properties that he thought would be good for me and they were definitely what I was looking for. He was able to explain property tax compared to Texas where I live presently and how much lower Colorado’s property taxes are meaning I could afford more house than I have budgeted for. Greg was friendly polite and very knowledgeable. I will definitely continue working with him to find my dream home and will refer friends and family to him.

The SaaS model is now for blogging, too. A new breed of companies are crowdsourcing writers to do posts for small and large businesses. Blogmutt is a bit different than the other services in this regard. It is now offering equity to its top performing writers.
Blogmutt fits in the middle spectrum of the market between Elance at the low-end and Contently, which is more at the upper end of the scale. Blogmutt serves small businesses that know the importance of a blog but don’t have the time or have the frame of mind to write posts. Customers use the Blogmutt platform to find writers who then go through a review process with the customer. Posts are drafted and then reviewed by the client who pays $89 per month to Blogmutt for access to the platform. Writers get paid $8 per post.
The writing work is meant for people who are retired , who work at home or just want a simple, part-time job. Some do it just to get writing experience while others do it as a hobby. It’s like having a part-time job that does not require clocking in. It’s just up to the writer when to do a post.
It’s clear that the writers get paid little for their work. And it’s also pretty evident this is not journalism. Instead, it’s posts on a particular topic that relate to the business. Blogs serve as a mechanism for bolstering a site, enhancing search rankings but also help owners connect with customers and people who want to learn more about the business.
Co-Founder Scott Yates, a former journalist, said to me in a phone interview that providing equity allows writers to share in the potential upside that may come some day. Posts are awarded points based on how customer’s value their outcome. The writers rise up to different levels based upon their number of points. They received vested shares when the reach Level 8, which equates to 10,000 points or about 500 posts.
The systen is a novel one but it is also pretty smart PR move. But Yates personally knows how compensation can be for writing stories. Giving these part-time writers something to strive for does help the site’s productivity but it also shows how much blogging has changed. For Blogmutt, blogging is meant as a way to promote small businesses. There’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just that in a commercial context, blogging is a job, not a passion. And since it is a job, it makes providing equity a perfectly logical way to compensate people. Workers are getting ownership in exchange for doing a considerable amount of work. That’s fine by me — I just hope these new blog workers start to make more money. They deserve it.
