Three Arrested in Sioux Falls Prostitution Case
Three people from out-of-state are charged in the latest prostitution bust in Sioux Falls.
Information Officer Sam Clemens says the three were arrested Tuesday night, after officers in the Street Crimes Unit noticed an online ad and got in touch with two women who were staying at a hotel in northwest Sioux Falls.
Clemens says the women appeared to have arrived in the city together, but were unaware that the officers posing as customers had made two separate appointments.
He says the officers learned four people had rented three rooms at the hotel, with two rooms used for the women to meet the “customers” while two people were in the third room.
Clemens says a man in the third room, 26-year-old Nathaniel Douglas Cael of Fresno, California was arrested for pimping and promoting prostitution.
He says 21-year-old Latresa Ann Richardson of Albertville, Minnesota and 22-year-old Bianca Trishayla Greene of Glendale, California were arrested on prostitution charges and a third woman, a 19-year-old from San Jose, California, was not charged.
Clemens says there was no evidence of human trafficking in the case.

Director: Lenny Abrahamson
Writers: Jon Ronson, Peter Straughan
Cast: Domhnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Fassbender, Scoot McNairy, Carla Azar, Francois Civil
Not Rated | 93 Minutes
Release Date: March 10, 2014 (SXSW)
Directed by Lenny Abrahamson (Garage), Frank stars Domhnall Gleeson as Jon, a young musician who joins “Soronprfbs,” an eccentric band led by Frank – a mysterious man in an oversized, expressionless plaster head.
Co-starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michael Fassbender, and Scoot McNairy, Frank is a peculiar-but-poignant musical comedy that explores the absurdity of outsider art and the comedic nature of the experimental process.
Soronprfbs consists of burnt-out manager Don (McNairy), a passive-aggressive drummer Nana (Carla Azar), French bass player Baraque (Francois Civil), and the mysterious (and dangerous) Clara (Gyllenhaal), a quick-tempered theremin player who immediately hates Jon just for existing.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s whirlwind tour continues.
On Thursday morning the couple received a royal welcome in Cardiff, Wales, outside of the historic Cardiff Castle. The newly engaged pair were hand in hand and were greeted by excited fans as they made their way into the 2,000-year-old castle.
The visit marked the couple’s third public outing since the news of their engagement was made in November. Visiting Cardiff was Markle’s next venture as part of her introduction to British culture and her tour of her fiancé’s country.
Markle turned heads yet again for her classically styled ensemble. In a nod to British designers, Markle wore a black Stella McCartney coat, tailored pants by Welsh brand Hiut Denim. She paired the look with a green bag by DeMellier London. Markle topped off her look once again with her effortless and now iconic messy bun.
In the sea of Welsh flags, held up by citizens and fans outside of the castle, Markle was able to spot a familiar American symbol. According to People, an on-looker by the name of Julie Hoefer caught Meghan’s eye with her American flag.
“We don’t have a royal family in America, and the whole idea is amazing,” she said. “And now we have one who joined the family — finally. It is super exciting.”
Hoefer was one of the lucky few in the crowd who got the chance to carry on a short conversation with the “Suits” star.
“Meghan was lovely,” Hoefer said. “She came over and was talking and showed us her ring. It was gorgeous. She said she was ‘super lucky, a very lucky woman.’
Hoefer finished her conversation with Markle by telling her where in the States she was from.
“She asked me where I was from — I said Virginia, and she said it was very nice. She was really stunning up close.”
Another fan, 10-year-old Megan McAuley, caught Markle’s eye with a sign that said: “My name is Megan too!”
McAuley said Markle approached her and said, “Your name’s Meghan too!” and “It’s very nice to meet you. Can I call you Meg?”
McAuley then presented Markle with “a nice flowery necklace” and she thanked her for the gift.
After wooing the crowds, Markle and Harry got their fill of Welsh culture as the pair enjoyed musical performances, poetry and met with some of the local famous athletes.
Following their visit to the castle, the couple had their second outing at Star Hub, a local community with the goal of helping youth excel through sports. At the event, the pair met with children in the Star Hub street dance program and watched them perform. The visit also coincided with Harry’s involvement with the StreetGames charity.
According to People, Markle and Harry are scheduled for a slew of public appearances before their May 19 nuptials at Windsor Castle.

DouglasdaleGlen is located in Calgary’s southeast. It encompasses the land along the east side of the Bow River between Deerfoot Trail and the community of McKenzie. The community was designed to make use of many of the area’s natural topographic features, including the Bow River escarpment. This has allowed for spectacular views of the river valley and the Rocky Mountains. Area residents enjoy recreational opportunities in nearby Fish Creek Provincial Park, as well as at the local golf course. There is also a lot of green space throughout Douglasdale. A separate school is located in the area
Although the DouglasdaleGlen Community Association currently lacks a community centre, it remains active within the community. It facilitates local sports programs, the most popular of which is soccer. There is also a local traffic committee to help study plans for the Glenmore Trail and Deerfoot Trail. Douglasdale also offers a teen program at Monsignor Smith School, where area teens can meet weekly for games of pick up basketball.

Be it from the choice of topic, to the structure of the agenda, to the speaker faculty formulation, we strive to put our attendees at the centre of everything we do.
Our mission is to create a conference experience which is personal, breathes quality and represents absolute value for time and money.
Global Insight Conferences’ founding directors boast an impressive track record of running hundreds of conferences globally with over 40 years’ combined experience, ranging from sectors as diverse as marcomms to engineering, finance to human resources, regeneration to child services, energy to information technology and many more.
Concentrating on the marcomms sectors in the past few years especially, they are probably amongst the most experienced conference providers of marcomms conferences in the UK and in Europe. They’ve managed to grow their divisions due to their passion for delivering exceptional quality in everything they do. A passion for creating a different conference experience from the norm and a passion for prioritising their clients’ needs and objectives.
Co-founder, Jane Spooner, says, “Our aim here at Global Insight Conferences is to create something very different. It’s all about the delegate’s experience; we dedicate our time to fewer events, ensuring that they are quality events and that, most importantly, our attendees leave with their objectives achieved and all of their questions answered. At Global Insight Conferences, it’s all about delivering on the day.”
Co-founder, Elena Surace, says “Research excellence and keeping events live, fresh and current is the ultimate goal and a challenge that is always front-of-mind on every project. We believe that our combination of personalised service and obsession with customer-centricity is unique in the industry and we are proud of the experiences we create for our delegates, speakers and event partners. And proud of the networking, information-sharing and business deals that get done at our events. It makes all the hard work worth it!”
It’s the combined background of exceptional market research, creative marketing and outstanding customer service that has led them to achieve on average :
*according to BADC industry survey
Global Insight Conferences' corporate responsibility and sustainability policies and ethics:
We work as closely as possible with our partners, suppliers and supply chain to ensure that we are as sustainable and ‘green’ as we can be :
- Venues – Each venue we host our conferences at is carefully vetted for their green credentials and as we go through the conference day, we encourage recycling and more sustainable methods of working where we see the need.
- Water – We will ask our venues to use filtered water rather than bottled mineral water when possible.
- Communications – We always prefer email and paperless communications as a means of doing business and we hope that you understand our reasons for emailing you over postal communications and for uploading presentations, for example.
- Marketing materials – We use recycled, part-recycled and paper sourced from sustainable sources for all of our marketing brochures, onsite documentation packs and other promotional collateral.
- Suppliers – As with our venues, we vet and check our supply chain and supplying companies regularly as to their standards.
- Travel – We will always prefer to undertake business travel on public transport.
- Advertising – Our preferred and most frequent method of promotional activity is email and online over direct mail.
- Recycling – This is mandatory at our offices and we encourage the conference delegation and venue to recycle as much as possible on the day of the conference itself.
- Local area – Wherever possible, we aim to use local sources of entertainment for any post- or pre-conference activities.
- Ethical conduct – We believe that treating people with respect, whether they are clients or employees, should be a matter of course and common decency, rather than company policy.
The founding members of Global Insight Conferences Ltd are also supporters of their 2 charities of choice:
Stop The Traffik
Slavery exists today and is the second largest source of illegal income worldwide, exceeded only by drugs trafficking. People are trafficked into prostitution, begging, forced labour, military service, domestic servitude, forced illegal adoption and forced marriage. Unicef estimates that 1.2 million children are trafficked every year and it is estimated that more than one person is trafficked across borders every minute.
Stop The Traffik is a global organisation fighting to prevent the sale of people, protect the trafficked and prosecute the traffickers. If you would like more information about the charity, please contact Global Insight Conferences Ltd or STT directly at: www.stopthetraffik.org
Habitat for Humanity
An international charity whose aim is to tackle poverty housing on a global scale by sending teams of volunteers to raise funds then build homes alongside local communities for those most in need. And the need is great. If you would like more information about the charity, please contact Global Insight Conferences Ltd or HfH directly at: www.habitatforhumanity.org.uk

Telegram seamlessly syncs across all of your devices and can be used on desktops, tablets and phones alike. You can send an unlimited amount of messages, photos, videos and files of any type (.doc, .zip, .pdf, etc.). Telegram groups have up to 200 people and you can send broadcasts to up to 100 contacts at a time. Be sure to check our website for a list of Telegram apps for all platforms.
We built Telegram to make messaging speedy and safe again, without the usual caveats.
Why Switch to Telegram?
FAST: Telegram is the fastest messaging app on the market because it uses a distributed infrastructure with data centers positioned around the globe to connect users to the closest possible server.
SECURE: We made it our mission to provide the best security among mass messengers. Telegram heavily encrypts all your data with time-tested algorithms.
CLOUD STORAGE: Telegram seamlessly syncs across all your devices, so you can always securely access your data. Your message history is stored for free in the Telegram cloud. Never lose your data again!
GROUP CHAT & SHARING: With Telegram, you can form large group chats of up to 200 members, send broadcasts to up to 100 contacts at a time, quickly share large videos, documents (.doc, .ppt, .zip, etc.), and send an unlimited amount of photos to your friends.
RELIABLE: Built to deliver your messages in the minimum bytes possible, Telegram is the most reliable messaging system ever made. It works even on the weakest mobile connections.
100% FREE & NO ADS: Telegram is free and will always be free. We are not going to sell ads or introduce subscription fees.
PRIVACY: We take your privacy seriously and will never give third parties access to your data.
For those interested in maximum privacy, Telegram offers Secret Chats. Secret Chat messages can be programmed to self-destruct automatically from both participating devices. This way you can send all types of disappearing content — messages, photos, videos and even files. Secret Chats use end-to-end encryption to ensure that a message can only be read by its intended recipient.
SUPPORT: For real-time support, please go to Settings in Telegram and select “Ask a Question” to send a message directly to our support volunteers. You can also email us at firstname.lastname@example.org.

While these features are designed to remove the message or picture the recipient’s BBM chat view, they do not prevent recipients from capturing an image of the content by taking a screenshot or using an image capture device. Retracting a message after it has been read by the recipient will remove the message from the BBM chat view, but will not affect copies of the message that the recipient may have made prior to the message being retracted.

What you need on your beauty & cosmetic labels
Are your cosmetic labels compliant with the requirements of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA)? Strict guidelines are in place to protect consumers from products that are potentially unsafe or deceptively labeled.
The FDA regulates beauty and cosmetic products, however, it places much of the responsibility on the makers and manufacturers. To guide you through the regulations, we’ve taken a closer look at what you need to ensure your health and beauty product labels are compliant. Make sure to check all federal and state regulations before ordering your cosmetic labels.
What are considered cosmetics?
Cosmetics are defined by the Federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) as products intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body’s structure or functions. Cosmetics include products such as creams, lotions, perfumes, lipsticks, nail polishes, makeup, shampoos, hair colors, toothpaste, and any material intended for use as a component of a cosmetic.
Under the law, soap products that are made up mainly of an alkali salt of fatty acid and don’t make any label claim other than the cleansing of the human body are not considered cosmetics under the law.
Principal Display Panel (PDP)
This is the label that is examined under normal conditions for retail sale. The information shown here should include:
- Product identity – What is your product, i.e. soap, lotion, scrub
- Net contents – Weight or volume of product
- Ingredients – What your product is made of
- Warning labels – Such as “for external use only”
Additional information not on the PDP label should also be included somewhere on the packaging.
- Directions for safe use
- Name and place of business
- Any other required information
According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), all the information above must appear on the label of the outer container. This is usually a box, carton, or wrapper that holds an inner or immediate container. The immediate container that holds the product is considered the outer container if there isn’t a box or carton.
For specific detail on labeling requirements under US laws and related regulations, read the Cosmetics Labeling Guide from the FDA.
Product Labeling Symbols
So how do you fit all this information on your cosmetic labels? Use the symbols below to communicate more information to your consumers on a smaller label or container.
The Period After Opening (PAO) symbol is the open jar icon. This icon indicates how many months the product will be good after it’s opened. This is typically on products with a shelf life of 30 months or more.
Best before date
For products with a lifespan of fewer than 30 months, an hourglass icon and a “best before end of,” or BBE date is displayed.
The lowercase “e” is known as the estimated sign or e-mark. It is required by the EU and basically indicates that the quantity of the product in a batch of packages is the same as what’s stated on the label.
Refer to insert
When there’s required information such as ingredients and instructions to provide (and sometimes in multiple languages) there may not be enough room to do so. So this symbol lets consumers know there’s a leaflet, card, or other inserts to refer to inside the packaging.
Responsibility for packaging
The Green Dot trademark indicates the manufacturer financially contributes to a recycling organization to manage its packaging waste in an ecologically responsible manner. It is not a recycling symbol.
Responsible forest management
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) trademark indicates the paper the company uses come from responsible sources. The use of the logo requires authorization and a license code from the FSC.
The Organic seal indicates the product has met strict production and labeling requirements of the USDA, and the final product is certified. Selling a product as organic when it is not can cost a company up to $11K for each violation.
US Public Health Service seal
Products bearing the U.S. Public Health Service seal must contain 70% organic ingredients. Also, they must follow strict guidelines for manufacturing and processing.
PETA runs the well-known Beauty Without Bunnies certification program, however, the Leaping Bunny is another internationally recognized certification that upholds a stricter program and mandatory audits.
Body care standards
Whole Foods developed strict baseline body care standards in quality sourcing and environmental impact in order for products to earn the Premium Body Care logo. They’ve also identified more than 400 ingredients deemed unacceptable.
Full label disclosure
The Environmental Working Group, or EWG, established the EWG VERIFIED mark to indicate the product meets the strictest standards when it comes to harmful chemicals.
To earn the Non-GMO Project Verified seal, products must complete third-party verification for their product labeling and certifications to ensure products have been thoroughly evaluated by an independent party for compliance.
The Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO) leads a strict gluten-free certification program. They inspect products and manufacturing facilities fr the presence of gluten. Products bearing the gluten-free symbol must be certified by a third party to earn certification.

Coda is a California-based manufacturer of all-electric car and battery systems. The company’s credo is positive energy and the belief that together we can reduce our independence on oil and lead the way to a cleaner future. This site navigates eco-consumerism and the electric car in a beautiful visual display that takes people from technology to logistics to an understanding of renewable energy.
A series of infographics give advocates a way to share and illustrate ways to change the world while communicating the future of carbon emissions, current oil consumption and the evolution of the electric vehicle. It helps people visualize the impact and inefficiency of oil and a tool called Range Phobia creates a better understanding of how charging works and the drivable distances that people can expect after a charge.
The nav is based on the idea of ever-changing modules of content; instead of having static content that lives within a complex dropdown nav, modules are the core elements for getting around the site. The structure makes the content accessible and makes it simple to add new features, without breaking the structure.
• For this first phase of the site there were 60 days from concept to completion—30 days of design, 30 days of dev—and a couple of extra weeks for QA and tweaks.
• Andrew Tilin, who previously wrote for both Outside and Business 2.0, contributed articles in the Clearing the Air blog to provide his point-of-view on influential industry issues that affect the electric vehicle market.
• In order to minimize load times, site content is cached every time updates are made; all pages are rendered on-demand from content stored in the database.

The Platter: 18 May 2014
Design Principles: Space And The Figure-Ground Relationship
This article by Steven Bradley on Smashing Magazine is a treatise on the importance of the management of negative space, i.e., the part of your design canvas without any UI/UX elements on it. Making a case that consumers will consider negative space to be a part of the overall product as well, the author highlights how crucial it is to think of negative space to be a complement to active UI/UX elements. In today’s age of iOS7, and the abundance of white space in apps and websites, ensuring that negative space is considered to be an “active element, and not a passive background” is a great piece of advice for budding, as well as experienced, designers. Well worth a read.
Why and How to avoid Hamburger Menus
Hamburger Menus are as ubiquitous in apps these days as the home button is on the iPhone. It is the one UI element that even transcends mobile OSes, with some Android Apps including them as well. Without a mouse to control touch screens, the act of right-clicking to reveal further options is what the Hamburger icon brings to apps. This post aggregates the four major problems with using this design feature, as opposed to having persistent elements on screen to do the same thing. Sure, the app might look cleaner, but it also reduces the engagement the consumer has with the app itself, and it also obfuscates several crucial features of the app. While I prefer the cleanliness of apps that keep optional menus out of my face by using hamburger icons, there’s no denying the points made in this post.
The Iconfactory Website Redesign
The people at The Iconfactory are a lovely bunch of people, who have given the world such gems as Twitterrific, xScope and pretty much all of the best designed icons and UIs on the App Store’s top Apps (Radium for iOS, for instance). They’ve just redesigned their website to make it an even more gorgeous experience, and the lessons they’ve learned over twenty years in the business clearly shows. But then, you pretty much knew everything they do would be visually stunning, didn’t you? (I mean, have you SEEN Twitterrific?)
Mac Keyboard Shortcuts
Mac users know that one of the best things about the platform is the absolute plethora of apps, shortcuts and tweaks available to completely tailor-make every individual’s personal experience with his computer. We’re always on the lookout for new and interesting ways to boost productivity. Inevitably, one of the holdups in any workflow is when one needs to switch from keyboard to mouse/trackpad, since going back to the keyboard almost always necessitates a glance at it, breaking the rhythm one builds up. This excellent collection of native and personalised keyboard shortcuts for the Mac makes for fascinating reading. If you have a Mac, take the site for a spin, and soon, you’ll be pumping out your assignments faster than one can say ‘Cmd+Enter’.
The difference between Brand and Identity
Being a marketing person myself, this article caught my eye. It addresses an age old question that old hands in the marketing industry also sometimes struggle with. Essentially, the concept of a Brand and the Identity one associates with a product aren’t as synonymous as most people think. From addressing the basic definition of ‘Brand’ and how it is used in contemporary life to the connection between a Brand and a Logo (an element of Identity), this article explains everything in stunning simplicity. It’s a fantastic post and should hold any budding marketer/branding professional in good stead. Yours truly was very grateful for the chance to brush up on concepts learned an age ago, but extremely relevant in day-to-day life, and I’m sure you will be, too.

It’s Not Over Until It’s Over
Is your life ruled by the school calendar? If so, you may be starting to feel a bit anxious. You may feel as if summer is coming to an end and you haven’t relaxed or experienced what you really wanted to this summer. Take heart. It’s not too late! Summer is not over yet!
During a recent workout, I overheard a teacher comment about the approach of August and the angst she feels. School professionals, students, and parents sometimes think of the beginning of August as the end of summer because it’s time to begin “back to school” preparations. Yet, there are four weeks until many schools resume classes at the end of August. At least that’s the case here in eastern Pennsylvania. Furthermore, the official end of summer is over 7 weeks away.
What’s on your bucket list? There’s still plenty of time to check the bucket list and make this summer memorable.
My coach colleague, Emily E., shared this Summer Bucket List with me. It’s a simple tool you can use to create your list for the remaining weeks of summer. Another friend, Emily B, posted this creative idea on Facebook. This Summer 2017 Vision/Idea board was created with her children and will be updated as the summer progresses. I loved this idea so much I asked if I could share it.
The following list of questions might help you decide what’s important for your summer of 2017 bucket list. Use these as a starting point to dream and plan what you want to accomplish during the remaining weeks of summer.
Who Do You Want to See or Visit?
You might want to meet a friend for breakfast or lunch. Visiting someone may mean a day long adventure or overnight trip to visit in their home or somewhere halfway between. My son and I met halfway in Chincoteague, VA for a memorable Mother’s Day weekend. It was a great visit made even more relaxing because we cut the drive time in half for each of us. I spent one summer intentionally reconnecting with friends. Once or twice a month, I met a different person for breakfast or lunch. Over the course of the summer, I reconnected with at least 5 different friends.
What is Your “One Thing” for this Summer?
What is it that must happen for you to feel like you had a summer? To phrase it another way, what is the “one thing” you will regret not doing this summer? A trip to the beach, mountains, lake, or a favorite park may be your A list item. Maybe it’s cleaning, painting or organizing something at home, planting a garden, renovating a room, having a personal retreat, trying a new sport, or completing a summer reading list. If this is a summer when your season of life is characterized by a move, graduate school, marriage or new parenthood, your “one thing” may be very different from your typical summer bucket list items. It’s OK. Identify your “one thing” for THIS summer and do it.
Where Do You Want to Go?
What’s the one place you’ve always wanted to visit but haven’t? If you’re short on time, money and energy, think of the free or low cost tourist attractions or places of solitude nearby. I lived in Eastern PA many years before I went to see the Liberty Bell. I’m so glad I went. I’ve, also, discovered many lesser known gardens, parks, or museums within an hour’s drive. I’m certain there’s someplace that will suit your interests, schedule and budget. A planned, unhurried visit to your favorite spot in your own backyard might be what best fills your bucket.
When Will You Do This?
If you’re following the school calendar, schedule when you will do this “one thing” in the next 4 weeks. Include the people most important to you and set your plan in motion. If you need solitude, plan for that.
Why Is This Important?
This is probably the most important question to ponder. None of us needs another item to add to our already long to do list. But, if summer ends and you “don’t feel like you had a summer”, you may regret it. Summer means different things to each of us. To many of us, it is a time to relax, enjoy time with family and friends, and have moments of recreation. Having time for recreation is important for physical and mental health. You alone know the value of your “one thing” to you. My sister and her family took a once in a lifetime bucket list trip this summer. This trip was important because it may be the last time they can all take a vacation together. Her son graduated from college and her daughter begins college in a few weeks. She said it was the best vacation she’s ever had! This experience has created a great memory that cannot be repeated. She returned to work with more energy and enthusiasm after ten days of renewal. I can hear it in her voice.
There are still weeks of summer remaining. There’s time for you to “have a summer”. I encourage you to give yourself permission to take time off to experience and design your best summer. Time off to just be. Be present. Be at rest. Be happy. Be unplugged. Be away. Be on vacation. Be renewed.
If you would like an additional tool to design your best summer, contact me. I’ll send you a document electronically.
Savor the season, make memories, and fill your buckets until they overflow.

Before the gold rush, trading was sparse in the Denver area - Real Estate Photographer - Denver Video Marketing
The name of the site was changed to "Denver City" after Kansas Territorial Governor James W. Denver, in an attempt to ensure that the city would become the county seat of then Arapaho County, Kansas.
Ironically, when Larimer named the city after Denver to curry favor with him, Denver had already resigned as governor and no longer had say in naming the capitol.
Denver at first was a mining settlement, where gold prospectors panned gold from the sands of nearby Cherry Creek and the South Platte River.
Larimer, along with associates in the Denver City Land Company, laid out the roads parallel to the creek and sold parcels in the town to merchants and miners, with the intention of creating a major city that would cater to new immigrants.
In the early years, land parcels were often traded for grubstakes or gambled away by miners in Auraria.
But the prospectors discovered that the gold deposits in these streams were discouragingly poor and quickly exhausted.
When rich gold deposits where discovered in the mountains west of Denver in early 1859 it appeared that Denver City might become a ghost town as prospectors left for more lucrative claims.
But once the gold rush began there was a great need for materials that couldn't be produced locally which assured Denver's future as a supply hub for the new mines.
Before the gold rush, trading was sparse in the Denver area.
Early expeditions into the area, such as the Pike and Long expeditions, had returned east referring to the plains as the "Great American Desert" which deterred immigration.
Despite this, frontier posts and forts existed and traded with the natives and frontiersmen.
However the closest major trading routes, the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, didn't come with in a hundred miles of the Denver area.
Until a permanent trading route was established the locals had to make due with what little extra new immigrants brought with them.
Auraria and Denver began to compete for businesses that could cater to the new immigrants and for domination of the area. Auraria began to take an early lead with the first saloon, smithery, and carpentry shop.
But in May 1859, Denver City donated 53 lots to the Leavenworth and Pike’s Peak Express in order to secure the region’s first overland wagon route.
Offering daily service for “passengers, mail, freight, and gold,” the Express reached Denver on a trail that trimmed westward travel time to as few as six days.
With supplies being delivered to the Denver side of Cherry Creek, businesses began to move there as well.
By June Auraria had 250 buildings compared to Denver's 150 buildings, and both cities were growing quickly. With this growth came a need for a wider government.

I am sure every Internet user has received such emails at least once in his lifetime that reads, “This is to inform you that you have been selected for a cash prize of 3,000,000.00… Please mention your Name, Age, Sex, Address, Telephone Number, City/State, Country, occupation to claim the amount”. This is one kind of spam message that I received recently. Luckily, I am aware about spamming; I ignored this email and didn’t reply. But, there are many people who come in the trap of these messages and end up in financial losses after providing their personal and bank details to spammers.
Social networking Sites are a Breeding Ground for Spam: Over the years, the use of the Internet and social networking websites have increased remarkably and this is keeping corporate systems and sensitive information at risk. People are scanning their emails to identify spam and Trojans, but social networks are another way to penetrate inside individuals and organizational profiles. The users of social networking websites are clicking on links when they believe they’ve been sent by a friend on their network.
According to a latest report by Kaspersky Lab, social networking sites including the likes of LinkedIn, Twitter, Flickr are increasingly being targeted by spammers and phishers. Likewise, a survey report by Sophos states that danger to businesses from social-networking malware is especially high.
Who should be blamed for spamming? Is it users, or social networking websites, or enterprises and their employees? When the online security firms have started blocking emails containing suspect words, spammers moved to social networking sites, such as Facebook and Twitter for their unethical, bad activities. LinkedIn has more than 135 million members and it enables members to select privacy levels. Fighting scams is not an easy job for these social networks. Facebook’s website maintenance team works hard to identify and block spam users.
Tools to check cyberbullies: The anti-spam industry has done a commendable job in checking emails of spam and blocking the spammers. Let’s talk about some tools that can help enterprises to check spamming.
Crisps Software, a smart IT solution, has been developed to monitor cyberbullies and other troublemakers. This software analyzes users’ language in comments, chat messages, and blog posts, and actions to identify harassment and spamming. This software can interpret messages in nine languages and the analysis is based on word usage. McAfee, the world’s largest dedicated security company also offers many products for small and medium size businesses to protect your network, web and email from unwanted spam and junk email. If you are running a social network or online publishing portal, it is important for you to have a plan to deal with spam. You can also check out Akismet, a service that is monitors spam on millions of web sites. It’s particularly popular for blocking spam comments on your WordPress blog.
Spam should be vanished and everyone should take steps to accomplish that. Spamming is not only curse for businesses and individuals but it is bad for society as a whole. Small businesses are easy prey for spammers as they do not have a system administrator to maintain the IT infrastructure. Here are few easy steps that could save you from spammers:
1. You should have a working email address for abuse reports.
2. Don’t rely on a flagging system that’s available to your users.
3. You can use POP-only email addresses to filters junk mail or Spam folder.
4. If you are getting too many spam messages, it it better to turn off your catch-all mailbox. Check out that you haven’t deactivated SpamGuard Plus.
However, while using spam filtering, you should be bit careful unless you might miss any legitimate email.

The U.S. has tumbled further down a global ranking of the world's most competitive economies, landing at fifth place because of its huge deficits and declining public faith in government, a global economic group said Wednesday.
The announcement by the World Economic Forum was the latest bad news for the Obama administration, which has been struggling to boost the sinking U.S. economy and lower an unemployment rate of more than 9 percent.
Switzerland held onto the top spot for the third consecutive year in the annual ranking by the Geneva-based forum, which is best known for its exclusive meeting of luminaries in Davos, Switzerland, each January.
Singapore moved up to second place, bumping Sweden down to third. Finland moved up to fourth place, from seventh last year. The U.S. was in fourth place last year, after falling from No. 1 in 2008.
The rankings, which the forum has issued for more than three decades, are based on economic data and a survey of 15,000 business executives.
The U.S. economic outlook has "clearly" deteriorated this year, and the continued softness of economic indicators shows that the headwinds facing the country are even stronger than thought, Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans said on Wednesday.
"Conditions still aren't much different from an economy still in recession [cnbc explains] ," Evans, speaking at a seminar in London said.
He said the Fed [cnbc explains] faced significant challenges in overcoming the obstacles left behind by the financial crisis.

Feeding the body and feeding the soul to do the Good Lord's work.
Thursday, June 10, 2010
June 9, 2010
Earl is 62 years old today. Lots of folks get dressed up and go to a fancy restaurant and order an expensive and elegant meal. However, as part of our tradition, we celebrate his special day with The Tacky Birthday Celebration.
The tradition started about ten years ago, when we were first dating. I used to work second shift, Earl worked first. I took the day off from work to put together a very inexpensive dinner, complete with melamine dinner ware, plastic wine glasses, and cheap wine and perfect weather. It was supposed to be a joke.
What I didn't count on was the local farmers fertilizing their fields...the stink of fresh cow manure wafted down from the hills behind us and settled in the valley where our house sits. And if that wasn't enough, huge truckloads of the stuff was being driven past the house. No amount of citronella candles could mask the odor. Earl couldn't stop laughing and declared it the best birthday celebration ever.
Nowadays, we just bring the party inside but the tradition lives on.

I was shopping for an electric toothbrush and checked online at a big-box store. The model I liked was $49.99, but I didn't want to wait for it to be shipped. I found that the store price for the same model posted on their website was $64.98!
That's a big difference. I asked a salesperson, and she told me the store would match the price that was listed on the company website.

It does seem to be the "Wild West" when it comes to pricing online versus in retail stores. Watch out for shipping and handling charges online - they can eat up the savings.
I have a hint that I find handy. If you are carrying a cake or casserole in the car, place it on a piece of nonslip carpet to keep it from sliding around.

When struggling to find employment post-graduation and working at the local Starbucks to make ends meet, it’s hard to fathom how you’re going to make a dent in such a massive debt load.
According to a report by The Project on Student Loan Debt, 71 percent of college seniors in 2012 had student loan debt, with an average balance of $29,400 per borrower.
Whether you’re ready for it or not, that first bill will come in, kicking off the seemingly endless repayment process. Attempting to escape your student loan debt by ignoring your obligations will only worsen the situation – ballooning your debt and destroying your credit.
If you want to be rid of your student loans for good, start by putting a plan of place using one of these five strategies.
1. Declare bankruptcy
For the most part, you cannot discharge student loan debt by declaring bankruptcy. However, if you can prove repayment would cause you or your dependents “undue hardship,” you might be the exception to this rule.
“Undue hardship” is determined by the courts. If they find based on your current income and expenses, a “minimal” standard of living for you and your dependents is not sustainable (if forced to repay the student loans), there’s no likelihood of any future ability to repay and you have made efforts to repay the loans, then you might qualify for discharge of your student loans in bankruptcy.
While bankruptcy can provide necessary financial relief, it also comes with long lasting credit consequences that should be carefully considered before attempting to file. It’d be smart to contact a firm that specializes in bankruptcy first.
2. Switch to an income-based repayment plan
Cap your federal student loan payments at 10 to 15 percent of your current discretionary income (the difference between your adjusted gross income and the poverty line) by enrolling in the Income-Based Repayment Plan.
If you still carry a balance on your student loans after making payments for 25 years, the remainder of the debt and all interest accrued will be discharged. Be warned, though, the IRS will count the discharged debt as taxable income.
While this program can provide a great solution for those who qualify with high levels of student loan debt and small incomes, income-based repayment generally increases the length of the repayment period, which means paying more in interest over the life of the loan.
3. Work in public service
You may be able to qualify for Public Service Loan Forgiveness by working a public service job full-time and making 120 qualifying payments on your eligible loans during that time.
To qualify as a public service employee, you must work full-time with a federal, state or local government agency, entity, organization or not-for-profit.
It can be hard to enjoy the full benefit of the Public Service Loan Forgiveness plan, as you must also qualify for income-based repayment and remain in the public sector until all 120 payments are made (and there’s always the chance the program could be cut all together.)
4. Join the military
While some may be able to qualify for the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, joining the Armed Forces opens up eligibility for a variety of other military specific loan repayment and forgiveness programs like College Loan Repayment Program, The National Defense Student Loan Discharge and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act.
Note most of these programs adhere to very strict and specific guidelines and require a willingness to accept the full implications and considerable risk of being a member of the United States Military.
5. Pay them back
Paying back your student loans on time and in full is highly advisable – if you can keep up with the payments. One late or missed payment on a loan can cost you dearly in fees and credit.
If you become so overwhelmed with payments that you default on your federal loans, the government can garnish up to 15 percent of your wages and social security in addition to withholding tax refunds.
It’s better to stick with a longer and more expensive repayment plan you can afford each month than to cope with the consequences of falling behind.
Regardless of how hard you wish them away, if you don’t do something about them, your student loans will never disappear. Use one of the strategies outlined above to be rid of them as soon as possible so you can put your money toward future goals instead paying off your past for the rest of your life.

Our new dishwasher says, right there in the operator’s manual, to push the start button twice to wash the dishes using the settings from the previous cycle. Push the button once and tiny lights identify the earlier settings. Once understood, this is very nice, even for those of us without previous experience in twice-pushing dishwasher start buttons.
New appliances come with other surprises that, when the human habit factor is added, may mean those vaunted energy savings are less than the government assures.
We got the new dishwasher, to start, because we had the money. Then I saw an ad about a Sears Memorial Day weekend sale.
Our washer had been making extra noise and cleaning less well. Crud stayed on the silverware. Consumer Reports put one Sears model toward the top of their rankings.
Finally, there was the life of the appliance. While writing a real estate-related newsletter a few years ago, I learned that appliance operating life is less than I remembered as a kid in the ‘60s. The 20-year operating life stuff is long gone. Today, the longest life I found claimed for a dishwasher is 13 years. That comes from Houselogic.com, the National Association of Realtors.
At 15 years, our dishwasher’s time was borrowed. Reduced operating life is not planned obsolescence. It is complexity, a fair amount of which I suspect is government induced. The complexity comes from software, which is required to do nifty things like remind me of the previous cycle settings.
Our clothes washer, also purchased from Sears in 1997, died in November 2008 when the control panel went out. Replacing the panel, i.e., replacing the software and the complexity, would have cost almost as much as a new machine, so we got the machine.
Lured by the sale, on May 25 we bought a Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwater, a mid-range model, for $619.99. A maintenance policy (which my wife, Susan, wanted), delivery, details and gross receipts tax brought the total to $940.89.
Installation by a Sears contractor was done May 29. I was gone. Susan didn’t oversee details. After all, it was supposed to work. That evening, putting something into the proud, gleaming new machine, I found the door out of alignment.
Susan took over. She does our 1-800 telephone chores. Sears didn’t know the washer had been installed.
The record would enter Sears’ system in a couple of days, an amazing lack in these days of smart everything. Sears offered to replace the machine. OK, we said.
The replacement came June 7, nine days later. The second installer was surprised his colleague had missed the misaligned door. No kidding.
The new washer takes longer than the old. Sensors (and software) do fancy things like measure the dirtiness of dishes. The “SmartWash” cycle, the manual says, “is optimized to achieve outstanding cleaning and with minimal water and energy.” This virtuous cycle takes up to 2.5 hours. The optional “Hi Temp” cycle “raises the main wash temperature to improve cleaning” and adds 35 minutes. Not virtuous at all.
One chooses a separate dry cycle to really dry the dishes. It took me a couple of uses to understand this. The “Heated Dry” option requires 52 minutes. To help drying, using a separately purchased “rinse aid” is highly recommended.
Rinsing dishes is claimed to be unnecessary. Rinse, says our experience to date.
A crud-catching drain in the bottom of the washer, to be cleaned manually, will bring more new experience when we remember to clean it.
Tradeoffs abound. Complexity, less energy and water use, less effective cleaning, more operator time and extra-cost supplements versus better cleaning from more energy and water.
In 1981 Tracy Kidder wrote “The Soul of a New Machine” about building a computer. After everything, I still don’t know if there is a soul in this new machine.

You are not planning to have a heart attack tomorrow, or get a cancer diagnosis, or accidentally step out in front of a bus. For that reason, and especially if you are young and healthy and have no dependents, life insurance probably isn’t for you. Or is it?
As with all insurance, life insurance plans are about preparing for the unexpected. We don’t plan to have a heart attack or meet an untimely end. We may fret about the unforeseen, but there are few ways to prepare for it. Life insurance provides a way to be prepared and get peace of mind.
The main reason to buy life insurance is for financial protection for your family and dependents. If you are the sole income earner or the major provider in your family, then life insurance definitely makes sense. If you should die unexpectedly, your policy will help your loved ones pay your final expenses and potentially receive ongoing support. The amount they receive will depend upon the size of policy you buy.
Compare Medical Insurance Quotes and Find the Right Plan
Finding affordable health insurance may seem like a daunting task. With the Affordable Healthcare Act and new regulations taking effect, people are more confused than ever. How do you sort through plans, deductibles, and networks, and choose a policy that makes sense for you, your family or your employees?
An independent insurance agency, such as Myers-Ziemke Insurance, who specializes in health insurance can be an excellent resource when you want to evaluate health plans. You may discover that you can find a lower cost option through an independent agent than you can through your employer. This is because these agents can compare plans from multiple carriers to find the best fit and rates.
Healthcare Costs, Co-pays and Coinsurance
Your healthcare costs are an important factor to consider when you want to buy health insurance, and you have a number of options for managing those costs. You can choose to pay a higher deductible to lower your regular premiums, which means you need to pay that deductible amount for doctor’s visits and medical bills before your health insurance kicks in. Alternatively you can pay a higher premium in order to avoid a high out-of-pocket cost in the event of a serious illness.
Co-pays and coinsurance are two methods health insurance companies use to share the cost of healthcare. Co-pays are a small amount you pay for every doctor’s visit, whereas coinsurance is an amount you pay in the event you need additional care. Be sure to fully understand any coinsurance payments your health insurance plan requires. In the event of a serious illness or injury, these costs can become very high.

Times are tough in Alberta and to be sure, we’ve piled it on heavy when it comes to cataloguing the long list of pitiable outcomes that have accompanied crude’s steep slide.
The province is at the center of Canada’s dying oil patch and as crude extended its seemingly endless decline last year, Alberta saw oil and gas investment plunge by a third. That’s bad news for authorities who count on resources for 30% of provincial revenues.
Rig activity fell by half in the first seven months of 2015 and as the job losses mounted, the sorrow deepened - literally. Suicide rates jumped by 30% and in Calgary commercial break-ins almost doubled from a year earlier, while bank robberies were up 65% and home invasions increased 52% (read more here).
Meanwhile, food bank usage spiked as those who used to be donors found themselves depending on the free meals for subsistence.
And speaking of food, prices for fresh fruit and vegetables are seeing double-digit inflation thanks to the plunging loonie.
All in all, a very bad situation indeed and on Tuesday we learned that the picture was actually materially worse than an initial round of statistics led us to believe. Related: 9 Billion Barrels Of Crude At Risk In Massive Nigerian Oil Shakeup
“Statscan’s annual revisions of its national Labour Force Survey data ratcheted up Alberta’s net job losses last year to 19,600, from the 14,600 the statistical agency originally reported in its final 2015 survey released in early January,” The Globe And Mail reports, adding that the losses “exceed the 17,000 jobs Alberta shed in the Great Recession in 2009.”
In fact, 2015 was the worst year for job losses in the province since 1982. Related: China Invests $4.6 Billion In Killing Coal, But Is It Enough?
By the end of last year, Alberta’s unemployment rate had risen to 7.1% from just 4.8% at the end of 2014. As The Globe And Mail goes on to note, that’s the highest level in two decades. And it’s projected to get worse. Alberta could see unemployment rise to 7.5% in H1.
Most of the positions lost were breadwinner jobs. The province shed 51,000 full-time positions for the year, up notably from Statcan's initial read of 44,000.
"The latest figures are also in stark contrast to 2014, when Alberta added 63,7000 positions, more than half of all jobs created in Canada that year," The Calgary Sun adds, underscore just how sharp the reversal of fortunes has been.
"Alberta is, in effect, ground zero when it comes to absorbing a commodity price shock," National Bank said last week. "More than any province, it will take the brunt of the expected drop-off in business investment." Related: Currencies Under Deeper Pressure From Rout In Commodities
Right. And that means more hardship ahead for O&G sector employees like Sean O’Reilly, 46, who, until last November, was a senior manager at Enbridge Inc.
O'Reilly, who spoke to The Globe And Mail, says he's "embarrased and ashamed", but with a wife and two small children he may be forced to change career paths and move out of the province.
"Southern Ontario manufacturing looks pretty good right now," he says. "I just need one job."

How to Replace Slate Roof Tiles How to Replace Slate Roof Tiles
Slate roof tiles can last a very long time, but you should completely replace broken tiles, or you’ll find water and damp entering your attic. A professionally fitted slate roof can last for up to 100 years before replacement is necessary, but adverse weather and general wear and tear can shorten their lifespan. It’s a job most people can undertake, though you’ll need to be comfortable working at heights. If you are not, you will be better off hiring a professional.
Step 1 - Removing Slate Roof Tiles
To access the tile you want to replace, you might need to take out several slate roof tiles. Use your nail ripper to pry up the tile above the one you need to replace. It needs to be exposed enough so you can manipulate and remove it .
Withdraw the damaged tile and cover the gap in the roof with a plastic drop cloth. You should overlap the edges of the gap by around a foot on all sides for the drop cloth to be most effective. To keep it in place, push it gently under the tiles above the holes then weigh it down on all of the other sides.
Step 2 - New Tiles
Slate roof tiles come in all kinds of different sizes. You will need a tile that’s the same size as the one you’ve just removed. The best method is to take the old one to the hardware or home improvement store to find the tile of the right size and thickness.
To judge how well the new slate roof tile will work, take out the plastic drop cloth and lay the tile in place, using a hammer to jam it up under the adjacent tile as far as possible. While it’s in position, mark 2 small holes in the necessary spots for putting the slate roof tile into a permanent position. The tile can now be removed and taken back to ground level
Step 3 - Fitting
Back on the ground, drill 2 holes through the tiles on the marked spots. You’ll be using these for the roof nails. Always be careful when drilling slate as it can easily crack and split. It’s better to run the drill at a slow speed and take your time over the holes than rushing.
Now. go back up to the roof and push the tile back into place, hammering it back under the adjacent tile so it sits back in the required position. Hammer the nails through the holes you’ve drilled in order to keep it in place. To finish, take a small piece of builder’s felt and slide it under the tile above in order to cover the heads of the nails and keep recurrent moisture off of them.
In all likelihood you’ll have to replace more than one slate roof tile when you’re working on the roof. Remove all of the tiles that need replacing at the same time, find the correct replacement slate tiles and do all the work simultaneously.

Ok so Cinco de Mayo was yesterday...but I went to a movie last night and didn't have a chance to post anything till now.
(Went and saw Thor. It was pretty good...not great...I find 3D movies distracting so it's probably worth another viewing....)
Anywho, I thought I would share a very quick and SUPER easy to throw together recipe. (Sorry it's not a sweet one....although I'm working on some stuff in the realm of cookies..."realm"...dang Thor movie). This is a dish that we make quite frequently around our house because it's just so dang easy and cheap...and delicious.
Shredded Pork (for tacos...or over rice....or a Cuban sandwich....or whatever...it's PORK)
And all you need is 3 things:
A center pork loin roast
Goya Mojo Crillo
Preheat your oven to 425
Get your dutch oven out (love my Le Cruset) and put your pork in it. Dump your bottle of Mojo and your bottle of beer over your pork. Now here's the deal, you want that liquid to cover the pork because as it cooks it's going to evaporate and you kinda want that pork submerged so it will get nice and tender, soaking up those juices. You will notice at this time (depending on the size of your pork loin) that this is not enough liquid. So here's where this recipe is going to differ for some. If your sensitive to salt, please take my advice and put water in the dutch oven till your liquid level rises to cover your pork.... the marinade is salty enough on it's own. But if you like big bold (slightly salty) flavor do what I do and double it. An extra bottle of Mojo and another bottle of beer. To me this is the perfect combo.
Put it in your oven and cook it for 3 hours. Yes you could probably cook it on a lower temperature for a longer period of time if that's how you wanna do it but I generally forget to make dinner till the last minute...getting up with the birds and cooking dinner all day long is a charming thought, but not my thing.
When it's done pull it out of the oven and shred it with 2 forks
Serve it in a fresh tortilla with a little queso fresca and guacamole.
Other ways to serve it:
Over rice (with a touch of the juices) topped with Avocado and Tomato salsa
Cuban Snadwich - Put come pork, ham, cheese, pickle, mustard, in a hallowed out hoagie roll and press it on the stove or a panini press till hot and melty.
....whatever you like pork in...
It's good. Easy. Cheap. Simple. Fool proof. Serves a lot of people.
And that is what we ate yesterday in honor of Cinco de Mayo. :)

This rare 1963 F100 Crewcab is owned by Nicolas Ojeda (nico-ojedausa.net)
This truck was specially made it for some oil companys like YPF in Argentina, that use to carry heavy tools and workers. I bought from the original owner last year. Its 100% original with a v8 engine and a Holley Carb. Only missing the fuel tank, and rear seats. The rest of paint (blue) its it original colour. This truck has been sleeping for 15 years half inside and half outside a garage (that's why it loos like so bad). Some chickens used to live in it. Now I will try to restore it.

Now you have me thinking. I didn't actually try viewing the show.
However, I know I only have 5 channels in the DB as I deleted all the
rest via mysql when I had finished doing the channels work (cleaning up
after a scan and loading program data). I have double checked this by
viewing each channel. The mystery continues...

Vertu, the company that sells £39,000 smartphones, is shutting down its UK manufacturing operations. But everyone saw it coming.
The liquidation will result in the loss of some 200 jobs, according to The Telegraph. Employees had already expressed fear of losing their jobs, since the company was reportedly skipping out on paying its bills and employee wages.
Recent troubles at Vertu began with the takeover of Turkish exile and businessman Hakan Uzan, who promised to rescue the company from bankruptcy. Yet, he managed to add on more debt by not paying the company’s previous owner and suppliers such as Microsoft and Qualcomm.
Uzan accrued a debt of £128 million (about $166 million) and only offered to pay creditors £1.9 million (about $2.5 million).
“Our best efforts to achieve a pre-pack administration have failed because the financial requirements specified within the negotiations went beyond the point where the new company had a chance of financial viability,” A Vertu spokesperson told The Telegraph.
The company might not be entirely dead, though. A person familiar with Uzan’s plans told The Financial Times that he intends to resurrect the company sometime in the near future.

|First WOYWW of 2013 showing Bisto drums!|
Morning Happy WOYWWers. Here's my desk this week... Okay... not much going on... the cold mocha has been removed and the iced coke ended up having a dash of rum...That was yesterday afternoon and last night, and now...(drum roll) at last The Bisto drums as well as some of the Cocoa drums, have been painted, ready to be glued to my plastic lazy Susan, and then... spray painted with some colour I can find out in the garage... probably a touch up colour we had for the many old cars we get through!
|6 months later, drums are painted!|
So, that'll be black, blue....off white... red....bronze (that's going back a few years...) whatever colour I find, they'll look better than they do now~they've waited a long time! It originally was my very first WOYWW anniversary thing I made, but didn't finish as I used paper cups with wide tops and narrow bottoms (wish I had a narrow bottom!) and I soon realised I could only get a few pens to fit.
Hopefully when the new super tower
revolting revolving turntable is finished (in another six months!) it with look super fab! (Okay maybe not...imagination is a very special thing!) Well, that's what's on my workdesk this Wednesday.... what's on yours? Right! I'm off to bed, this is on timer! Nip over to Julia's Stamping Ground if she's there, join in!
|Can't quite get on the swivel chair to take this one!|

Beta Test is the latest to base a film around the connection of video games to the real world previously attempted with "Gamer" from a few years past. The film revolves around Creed (Manu Bennett) which was the initial pusher of using video game controlled people for good and eventually gets trapped within the machine. On the other side of the action is Max (Larenz Tate) the pro gamer that gets to test Sentinel's latest game. Things take a turn for the worse as it seems that the worlds collide as Max begins to discover the scary truth behind this new beta test. It was actually a fairly interesting setup and the stakes were high for all parties involved as there was more going on than just the game itself. Being a gamer I was actually quite pleased with the display of the connection between the two as it made sense for both parties involved in this testing which would make regular people just assume it was a game. The actual gameplay wasn't bad either capturing the scenes well to a point where that could be a realistic game. I do however wish there was a bit more focus on the missions introduced in the film and I wasn't a huge fan of the direction for the latter half of the film.
The acting in the film was mostly well done as there were some well done emotional scenes with what was going on and the response for the both sides of the game was great. The supporting actors were a bit stiff at times and it would have been better if they weren't so cliché in their roles. I also found Creed's voice a bit too tense during his regular scenes whereas it matched his "game" sections well. It was also odd that at times where it should have still been somber they were joking about things so the mood definitely could have been a bit darker as well. The cinematography was decent with some well done action shots and the comparison of game to real life moments were placed perfectly which added great tension to the scenes.
Beta Test was an alright film and probably the best take on the video game to real world concept. There were well done moments of tension and emotional scenes as well which I wish weren't quickly replaced with comedic tones as it could have held a deeper impact. The shots connecting the game and the real world were also well done for extra tension without causing a disconnect from the situation. Some of the messages of the film were alright as well, yet a bit too preachy in some aspects which clouded the core concept the film was attempting to display. It was well acted, an enjoyable film and something gamers would appreciate as well for the most part.

Do you remember your first bike? Odds are, you remember distinctly the color, the shape of the seat, it may have even had a name. Mine was a bright blue Schwinn. It was stolen off my front porch a few months later and I was heartbroken. My second was pink with a banana seat. I was careful not to leave it on the front porch and it was my faithful friend until junior high when I got my first steel blue ten speed. Funny how bikes mark themselves indelibly on your brain?
This week in Afghanistan, I had the pleasure of giving 12 girls in Kabul their first bike.
First up was a visit to bazaar in the old part of Kabul to purchase some bikes that the girls could ride easily and that wouldn’t stand out – more than a girl riding a bike already does in a country that has never allowed females to ride bikes.
We pick up a fleet of the same bike in different colors. We had the bike mechanic that worked with us to build up the donated Liv/giant racing bikes check them over and make sure everything was in working order. Delivered them to Coach’s house and asked the girls to meet up for a team meeting.
We handed out the bikes to huge smiles and laughter. The girls have loved riding the new racing bikes and training, but none of them have ever had their own bike. Each girl has assured us that they have a male family member that have agreed to ride with them as an escort, most cases a brother, but also a father and a step-son. These girls are among the first Afghan girls to be riding bikes in Kabul socially. Its the start of a revolution. Girls on bikes. Breaking the last big gender taboo. We couldn’t be prouder. Ride on ladies.

It was after midnight by the time the game ended, thanks to a rain delay of more than two hours, which led to a 9:11pm first pitch. The Rangers had lost again, this time to the Astros, and with the loss, they fell 13 games back in the division. That one winning streak was fun, but it appears that designating Sam Dyson for assignment may just be the beginning of the goodbyes we will see as we watch this 2017 version of the Rangers. Enjoy ‘em now while you can.
And about that word. "Enjoyment"...
We watch sports, in theory, because they give us some modicum of pleasant feelings in our lives, and when you expect a team to contend, it’s hard to enjoy watching them lose repeatedly en route to not accomplishing that goal. So you have two choices: you can stop watching, or you can find other ways to enjoy the game; rescuing little nuggets of goodness from an otherwise unenjoyable loss.
Here are those three nuggets from tonight:
1. In the third inning, with runners on first and second and the count 0-2 to Carlos Correa, Robinson Chirinos tapped his glove emphatically on the ground as if to say “down here, bounce it. Down here! Bounce it!” tap tap tap. Then at the last second, he popped up, putting his glove at the uppermost limits of the strike zone. Darvish pumped in a fastball, and Correa swung and missed.
After the game, Chirinos confirmed that the Astros have a reputation of stealing signs from second base.
“Knowing when we played with Carlos Beltran here last year, the guys (on the Astros) steal signs like crazy on second base. That’s why I was going to the mound every pitch, switching signs, making sure those guys wouldn't relay signs to the hitter. I think when we struck out Correa, we switched the signs just before he went to hit; if you see his swing, he was late because they thought we were trying the slider. (...) it’s because they were relaying the wrong signs from second base. We knew that when we went to play in Houston, that's just something we have to do when we’re playing Houston because we know those guys are relaying signs when they have a guy on second base. That’s when I was moving in, going away, doing this (...) just to play with the guys on second base.
It's not the first accusation the Rangers have leveled at the Astros. Remember this?
2. In the sixth inning, George Springer struck out, and he was so mad that he did this.
He was upset about the 3-0 pitch being called a strike, and he had a point: I once had a grifter in Los Angeles tell me that he had millions of dollars in a bank account, and was a long time friend of Mel Gibson’s but that he had lost Mel’s phone number, and could not find his account information, so the money was locked in a bank and irretrievable. That man’s story made more sense than Ted Barrett’s strike zone tonight. When your team is contending and every moment matters, that’s super frustrating.
But when we set aside our expectations, we realize: tonight, we got to see George Springer lose his mind for a second, and that was great fun.
3. Adrian Beltre got two extra base hits tonight. The first one was a fourth-inning flyball down the right field line that Josh Reddick overran. It broke up what was at the time a Dallas Keuchel no-hitter, which made this move extra hilarious.
Beltre also hit his first home run of the season tonight.
Sure, it was 7-0 when it happened, and–much like Beltre’s arrival to the active roster this week–it was probably too late to rescue the thing, but hey: Adrian Beltre home run. Yay.
That was it for the enjoyment. I know this isn’t a particularly informative game story, but it might ruin the little enjoyments if you looked up what Correa and Springer did later in the game.
It’s going to be a long summer. Enjoy what you can.

…for distinguished bravery in action against hostile Sioux Indians, near the Catholic Mission, on White Clay Creek, South Dakota, continuing on duty though painfully wounded.
Private Marvin C. Hillock was assigned to Captain Charles A. Varnum’s B Troop sometime prior to the regiment’s departure from Fort Riley to South Dakota in November 1890. Being in B Troop, likely placed Hillock on the ‘V’ shaped angle of sentinels surrounding the council of Indians during the disarmament on Wounded Knee on the morning of December 29, 1890. This position would put him in the thick of the fight at the opening volley. Twelve of the forty-three soldiers in B Troop were casualties that day, including the company’s First Lieutenant, John C. Gresham. Of those twelve, five where killed outright and two more died later of their wounds. This was the second highest casualty rate of the ten line companies at Wounded Knee, including the artillery and Indian scouts. Only K Troop, making up the other leg of the ‘V’, had experienced more casualties, sixteen, including six killed in action and two that died of wounds. Hillock came through the battle unscathed but was not so fortunate the following day at the battle on White Clay Creek. There Hillock was one of two soldiers from B Troop wounded, the other being Private William S. Kirkpatrick. Captain Varnum recorded in the company muster roll that Private Hillock was sick in quarters suffering from a gunshot wound to his left foot received in action on December 30.
Private Hillock’s actions in both battles clearly made an impression on his commander and fellow soldiers, as he was one the first troopers awarded the Medal of Honor from that day, receiving the Nation’s only medal at that time on April 16, 1891. However, there is some confusion for which battle, Wounded Knee Creek or White Clay Creek, Private Hillock was recognized. According to the 1917 Medal of Honor Review Board convened to determine the validity of all medals presented to that date, Private Marvin C. Hillock was awarded the Medal of Honor for “distinguished bravery” on December 29, 1890, while serving with Troop B, 7th Cavalry, in action at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota, and the Congressional Medal of Honor Society recognizes Hillock as a recipient from that engagement. However, Captain Varnum’s recommendation dated March 17, 1891, clearly stated that he recommended Hillock for actions at White Clay Creek on December 30, 1890. Varnum cited both Sergeant James H. Ward and Hillock in the same letter in two separate paragraphs beginning both recommendations with the appropriate date and engagement for each soldier: Sergeant Ward at Wounded Knee and Private Hillock at White Clay Creek.
Private Marvin C. Hillock Troop B 7 Cav.–at White Clay Creek, S.D. Dec. 30, 1890. Private Hillock recieved [sic] a painful wound which lamed him early in the fight, but he never left the skirmish line during the engagement but continued to do his duty there during the day, saying nothing about his wound until the following day when he had to report to the surgeon and remain on sick report until Jan’y [22d] following.
The War Department created the confusion when forwarding for approval both Sergeant Ward’s and Private Hillock’s recommendations on the same memorandum. The summation of the two recommendations only listed Wounded Knee for both troopers, and Major General John M. Schofield’s endorsement as the Commanding General of the Army perpetuated this error. The Department recognized the confusion the following December when finalizing its list of honorable mentions from the campaign. The Adjutant General’s Office sent a telegram to Fort Riley asking, “Was the recommendation for medal of honor for Private Hillock… intended for Wounded Knee or Mission Fight.” General Order 100 correctly stated “For distinguished bravery in action against hostile Sioux Indians at White Clay Creek,” but to this day the Department’s official record still erroneously indicates Hillock’s medal was for action at Wounded Knee.
Marvin Charles Hillock was the fifth of seven boys born to Robert and Mary Hillock about June 1867 at Port Huron, St Clair County, Michigan. His father, Robert Hillock, was born about 1831 in Caledon, Peel County, Ontario, Canada. He was the son of Alexander and Catherine (Daly) Hillock, both immigrants from Ireland. On 8 June 1858 at Toronto Gore, Peel County, Ontario, Robert married Mary Jean Gough. She was born about 1838 at Caledon, Ontario, the daughter of John and Dellia (Garaghty) Gough, also both Irish immigrants. In 1861, Robert and Mary Hillock were living in a framed one-story house in Caledon, Peel, Canada West, with their two-year-old son, Dennis, and one-year-old son, Alex, and were registered as Roman Catholic. By 1870 they had relocated to Burtchville, St Clair, Michigan, with Robert working as a tanner having immigrated to the United States about 1863. Their family had grown to five boys, eleven-year-old Dennis, ten-year-old Alexander, eight-year-old Robert, five-year-old John Joseph, and three-year-old Marvin with the two youngest sons having been born in Michigan and older sons in Canada. The Hillocks still resided in Burtchville, Michigan, in 1880 with Robert working as a farmer and the family having grown to seven children with the addition of two more sons, Thomas, born about 1870, and Edward, born about 1873. The eldest four boys were working as laborers and the three younger were attending school. Robert Hillock died sometime between 1880 and 1900, his precise date of death and final resting place are unknown.
On October 14, 1888, the second eldest son, Alexander Hillock, died at the age of twenty-seven at Bay City, Bay, Michigan. At the time of Alexander’s death, his parents, Robert and Mary Hillock, were listed as residing in the Dakota Territory.
Marvin’s younger brother, Thomas, headed to Detroit in September 1889 to enlist in the Army. He ended up serving in Battery C, 3rd Artillery Regiment at Washington Barracks, District of Columbia. Following his younger brother’s lead, on March 11, 1890, Marvin Hillock enlisted in the Army at Detroit, Michigan, for five years. The recruiting officer, Lieutenant Lockett, listed him as twenty-two years and nine months in age, a farmer born at Port Huron, Michigan, with blue eyes, red hair, a fair complexion, and standing five feet, six inches tall.
After recovering from his wound at White Clay Creek, Hillock was discharged from the Army on April 2, 1892, at Fort Riley, Kansas, after serving two years on his five year-enlistment. Hillock was drawn back to the military sixteen months later, enlisting at Chicago for another five-year stint on August 5, 1893. His recruiting officer, Captain Hoyle, recorded Hillock as twenty-three years two months in age, which appears to be three years younger than his actual age, with an occupation of miner, a profession that Hillock continued to pursue for the remainder of his life. During his second enlistment, Hillock was assigned to F Troop, 3rd Cavalry, which at the time was located at Caldwell, Kansas, and later Pond Creek, Oklahoma, under the command of Captain George A. Dodd where the unit was participating in the opening of the Cherokee Strip, part of the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1893. This was another controversial episode where the U.S. troops were alleged to have killed various homesteaders or ‘sooners.’ Despite the negative press the Army received, an investigation of the incident reported that the conduct of the troop was “very good. The citizens are glad to have the troops with them and petitioned the major-general commanding the department to allow them to remain here for the moral effect.” Whatever his role in this incident, Hillock’s enlistment record states that he deserted from his unit on January 11, 1894, just five months after enlisting.
If Marvin Hillock was following his younger brother, Thomas, by entering the military, it was Thomas that followed Marvin’s lead by deserting the Army. Thomas was discharged from his first enlistment with the 3rd Artillery as a corporal on Christmas Eve 1892. He enlisted again a year later not long after Marvin enlisted a second time. Thomas was assigned to Battery C, 4th Artillery, but like Marvin, deserted from his unit in August 1894. At about the time that Thomas was deserting from his unit, the youngest of the seven Hillock brothers, Edward, was enlisting at Portland, Oregon, on August 4. He was assigned as a teamster in Company G, 14th Infantry, at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, but was discharged for disability after only five months.
At least three of the Hillock brothers and their mother appear to have reunited in Lead City or Deadwood, South Dakota, in the mid-1890s. John, Marvin, and Edward all turn up at various times in South Dakota in the latter half of 1890. Edward filed for a disability pension in March 1895 from South Dakota, and John’s name is listed in the St. Paul Daily Globe later that same year as a mining investor:
Pierre, S. D., Nov. 18.–Articles of incorporation were filed today for the Black Hills and Wyoming Gold Mining Company, with a capital stock of $1,500,000 headquarters at Lead City. Incorporators, John P. Hillock, James P. Wilson, Lead City; O. N. Ainsworth, Spearfish.
That Hillock was known as a Medal of Honor man in Lead, South Dakota, is evident from an article printed in the Lead Daily Call in the summer of 1896.
…Mr. Hillock is so modest that but few, only of his intimate friends, know him to be the possessor of such a treasure, and it was by the merest accident that The Call caught on to him having such a valuable medal in his possession. But three of these medals were issued, one being to Mr. Hillock, another to J. W. Martin, the other to Corporal Ira Renard. Hillock and Martin were both members of B troop, 7th, while Renard belonged to I of the Second artillery. These three soldiers handled the Hotchkiss at the Wounded Knee fight, and it was they who turned the gun on the tent wherein an Indian was doing such fatal execution with his little gun. But it was on the following day that these three same boys exhibited their bravery to a degree that called for admiration. They were out reconnoitering, being accompanied by Capt. Barnard and Lieut. Gresham, when suddenly they were surprised by a volley which brought down both officers. The boys stood their ground and when the skirmish was over seven “good” Indians lay prostrate on the earth. The officers were wounded, and afterwards recovered, and both are yet in the service. The Indians were bent on getting their scalps, and but for the bravery of the boys who received these medals they would undoubtedly have done so. But a short time elapsed after the first firing until the hills were covered with Indians, the battle being known as the “Mission fight,” but the boys stood their ground and the incessant firing brought to their rescue one troop of the 7th and one troop of the 9th cavalry, both under command of that gallant soldier Guy V. Henry, of the 9th. But for the timely assistance of these two troops the boys would have been taken in and with them the two wounded officers. As we have before stated Mr. Hillock does not stand on the street corners and display his medal or boast of his bravery, but he possesses something, in the shape of the gold badge which he modestly exhibits, that any young man might well feel proud of.
The story of the Army award recipient turned deserter is erroneous on a number of facts, including names. There was no Corporal Ira Renard at Wounded Knee or White Clay. There was a Private James W. Martin, but he was in D Troop, not B Troop to which Hillock was assigned. The Hotchkiss guns fell under the control of Capt. Capron’s Light Battery E, 1st Artillery. There is no indication that troops of the 7th Cavalry took control of any of the four Hotchkiss guns during the course of the battle. Capt. Barnard likely is a reference to Capt. Varnum, who commanded B Troop. Neither Varnum nor Lieut. Gresham were wounded at White Clay–The Mission Fight–although Gresham was slightly wounded at Wounded Knee when a bullet grazed his nose. There is no mention of Hillock being wounded. The notion that Privates Hillock and Martin saved the fictionally wounded Gresham and Varnum from being scalped at White Clay is preposterous. Although, one dead or unconscious soldier left on that field was severely mutilated after the soldiers withdrew from the ground. Unknown is whether this published tall tale was spawned from the imagination of Hillock, or from an over zealous reporter who was more interested in captivating readers than accurately reporting.
Marvin’s name appears in the Omaha Daily Bee in 1897 under dubious circumstances, where he is listed as a miner.
Lead, S. D., March 6.–(Special.)–Marvin Hillock, a well-to-do mine owner, living in this city, was arrested this week upon the charge of seduction upon promise of marriage, preferred by Sophie Nelson, a domestic, employed by Wolff Fink, the jeweler. Miss Nelson is soon to become a mother, and charges Hillock with being responsible for her condition. Hillock was bound over until Monday in the sum of $500, bail for which was furnished. If Hillock decides to fight the case, it will be highly sensational, for he is very prominent in mining circles, and well known throughout the entire Hills. The girl in the case is a comely young woman, and has always borne a good reputation.
Miss Nelson’s ploy worked, as she and Hillock were married two days later. The following month Sophie gave birth to a son, Franklin Joseph, on 6 April. Marvin’s first child lived just short of two years, succumbing to pneumonia on March 14, 1899, at Lead. According to the death announcement, Marvin and Sophie Hillock were still married. Sophie’s fate remains a mystery, but the marriage did not seem to last much beyond the death of her son.
Marvin appears again later in 1897 in the Engineering and Mining Journal this time with questionable mining practices.
Polo Creek, Lawrence County, South Dakota.–Claim jumpers have been busy in this neighborhood of late, but two of their number, Ernest LaVenture and Marvin Hillock, came to grief last week, receiving a thorough thrashing at the hands of an indignant miner, and the practice is likely to fall into disrepute.
In 1900, the matriarch of the family, Mary Hillock, is listed as a widowed resident of Lead, South Dakota, the mother of seven children, five still living. That same year Marvin Hillock again made the papers this time with his older brother, John, when they appeared in an article in the Nebraska State Journal with the headline “Deadwood People Buncoed.”
Hillock next appears in 1903 in Lincoln, Nebraska, where he married twenty-seven-year old Stella Irvine. Likely born in Dickson, Tennessee, and raised in Shenango, Pennsylvania, by 1900 Stella was living in Lincoln with her widowed mother and two siblings. On the marriage certificate, Hillock was listed as a resident of Kansas City, Missouri. The marriage did not last, and by 1910 Stella was working as a telephone operator at the Hot Springs Hotel in Paso Robles, California, where she listed herself as a widow on the census. Stella was living in San Francisco in 1930, but the record runs cold after that.
DEADWOOD, S. D., April 15.–(Special.)–About two months ago, Marvin and John Hillock, two old-time mine owners of this city, brought in a report from their mining ground that they had made a remarkable discovery of sylvanite ore. They exhibited very rich samples of the ore on the streets and had assays made which went as high as $60,000 to the tone gold. There was great interest in the new find. The brothers placed an armed guard at the entrance of the tunnel and very few people were permitted to go in and see the gold strike. A week ago, a Colorado man got permission to enter the tunnel and he obtained a sample of the rich ore. This he pronounced genuine Cripple Creek, Colorado, phonolite ore, and he stated to certain Deadwood parties that the ore came from a depth of at least 600 feet. This statement aroused the suspicion of some parties who had put money into the find and they then compelled the two brothers to sink a shaft on the vein. At a depth of four feet, the ore was as rich as ever. The brothers had dug the hole and then salted it before the parties arrived.
The two brothers have suddenly disappeared. The vein has been examined closely and it was found pounded full of small pieces of sylvanite ore that came from Boulder, Colorado. Water had then been poured over the salted place and allowed to freeze, which gave it the appearance of being a solid body of ore. It is now known that two large boxes of sylvanite ore specimens were purchased at Boulder, Colorado, valued at $1,200. This rock was all given away to Deadwood and Lead people as samples from the Hillock mine. A third party named Ernest LaVenture, has been arrested and jailed and the officers are hot after the Hillock brothers. These brothers put through a similar deal a long time ago, in which they were successful.
Sometime after this second marriage, Marvin Hillock relocated to Ontario. The final documentation of his whereabouts being his marriage certificate in 1911 when he was a resident of Webbwood, Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, and listed himself as a thirty-seven-year-old mining engineer, although by all other documentation he would have been about forty-four years old. On May 23 of that year, Hillock married Catharine Shanahan, a twenty-nine-year-old Roman Catholic woman working as a domestic from Renfrew, Ontario. She was the ninth of ten children of John and Ellen (Culhane) Shanahan, he being a farmer whose parents immigrated to Canada about 1845 when he was an infant. The Shanahan family had been congregants of the Mount Saint Patrick Catholic community since its establishment in Renfrew.
Marvin and Catharine Hillock had one child, George, who was born in 1912. George was a farmer in Lanark, Renfrew, and died in July 1998. He was buried in the Precious Blood Cemetery in Calabogie, Renfrew. Catharine died on January 19, 1933, at the Ontario Hospital in Kingston after almost two years treatment for chronic intestinal obstruction. She was listed as a widow at the time of her death, and was buried two days later at the township of her residence, Ashdad, Renfrew County. Unfortunately, a search of the Renfrew Catholic cemeteries, to include the Precious Blood Cemetery where her son is buried and the Holy Well Cemetery where her parents are buried, failed to locate her grave.
Marvin’s younger brother, Edward, died in 1913 in a flash flood in Ely, White Pine, Nevada, where he was working as a salesman in dry goods.
ELY, Nev., Aug. 26.–One man was drowned this afternoon when a well of water from a cloudburst swept down Murray creek, which flows through Ely. The flood rose above the banks of the stream and inundated a portion of the business and residence section to a depth of several feet. When the torrent struck the corner of the Northern hotel, it quickly found its way into the basement, where C. D. Vautrin and Edward Hillock happened to be. The water poured down the stairway in such volume that they were unable to make their exit. Axes were obtained and a hole in the floor of the barroom was cut out, through which both men were dragged. Efforts to resuscitate Hillock failed.
Edward was buried in the Old Holy Cross Cemetery in Santa Cruz, California. In 1920, Marvin’s mother, Mary Jean Gough Hillock, died in Detroit, Michigan, where she was living with her son, John, his wife, and their four children. Mary Hillock was buried with her youngest son, Edward, in Santa Cruz. Cemetery officials at the Old Holy Cross Cemetery were unable to find any other Hillock’s buried there.
Marvin Hillock’s two older brothers, Dennis and John Joseph, both died in Detroit, Michigan, the latter in 1929 and the former in 1933. They were both buried in the Mount Olivet Cemetery in that city along with their wives. The date of deaths and final resting places of the two other brothers, Robert and Thomas, are undetermined.
Marvin Charles Hillock’s date of death and final resting place remain unknown. He is one of three Medal of Honor recipients from the Battle of Wounded Knee–albeit that Hillock’s documented action occurred at White Clay Creek–whose ultimate fate is unrecorded, the other two being Matthew H. Hamilton and William G. Austin. The Medal of Honor Historical Society lists Hillock, Hamilton, and Austin as three of over 400 recipients lost to history.

No posts for a while; I haven’t been off the map exactly, I have just moved across it, a little. Being so busy and moving house as well means the sketchbooks have been packed away, but they are eager to get back out and filled up again. So next Saturday, April 14th, why not join the sketchers of Davis for another “Let’s Draw Davis!” sketchcrawl!
This time we will sketch along G Street, in the historic heart of Davis.
START: 10:30am, corner of 2nd and G st
FINISH: 3:00pm, outside Davis Co-Op, 6th & G st
As always, this event is free and open to anybodu who likes to sketch. You can come for the whole sketchcrawl, or just for a little while, it’s all about getting out and sketching our town. At the end, participants will show each other their sketchbooks, which is always really fun. All you need is something to draw with and something to draw on!
(Please note: the 35th Worldwide Sketchcrawl is a week later, on April 21st, but I decided to avoid putting the sketchcrawl then because that is the same day as the UC Davis Picnic Day. But check out the Sketchcrawl Forums to see if there are any sketchcrawls near you, I think there may even be one in Davis or at least the Sacramento area)

A veteran lawmaker has urged Malacañang to make a full disclosure of the controversial Disbursement Acceleration Program (DAP) as part of the principle of transparency being espoused by the current administration.
Valenzuela City Congressman Sherwin “Win” Gatchalian said Malacañang should come clean with DAP by releasing the documents and other specifics on the reported 116 projects amounting to at least P150 billion, sourced from DAP.
“Now that the Supreme Court has spoken and declared several provisions of DAP as unconstitutional, it is incumbent on the administration to tell all on where the billions of government savings went by identifying all the projects funded by DAP,” Gatchalian said.
Gatchalian, a stalwart of the Nationalist People’s Coalition, added the Palace is still liable for the funds it transferred to senators allegedly to be used as economic stimulus.
“Being the source of the funds, the Executive should be responsible for how DAP was spent. Or else this means the Budget department and the Palace gave legislators a license to spend public funds freely on anything,” Gatchalian said.
This, as presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda finger-pointed at the legislators, quoted by news reports as saying: “The use of the DAP funds were meant primarily to help the constituents, the countrymen. The question now is: Did the senators misuse those funds?”
Gatchalian issued the statement several hours before the scheduled live coverage of President Noynoy Aquino’s statement on DAP.
Malacanang earlier claimed that 91 percent of DAP can be accounted for and that DAP-funded projects served a stimulus that largely contributed to the country’s economic growth last year. (R Burgos/Monica Cantilero)

Digicel to make $60m on sale of Myanmar telecom towers unit
Digicel has sold its 75pc interest in a telecoms infrastructure company in Myanmar.
Irish-owned Digicel will see a $60m (€53m) gain on the sale, according to papers filed with the US stock markets regulator.
The global media and telecoms business is currently in the process of raising an expected $1.8bn to $2bn through a share listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
The deal is expected to be the second-biggest US IPO this year, according to Bloomberg.
In a statement, Digicel said it had entered into a share purchase agreement with respect to the sale of its 75pc stake in Digicel Asian Holdings Pte Ltd, the parent of Digicel Myanmar Tower Company Limited (MTC), to the Edotco Group, a telecoms infrastructure business based in Malaysia.
The transaction is expected to close at the end of November and values the Digicel Myanmar Tower Company at $221m (€195m). According to a filing with US regulators, the net proceeds to Digicel total $120m, representing a gain to the business of $60m.
Commenting on the transaction, Digicel Group chief executive Colm Delves said: "The sale represents a strong return on our investment in Digicel Myanmar Tower Company and I would like to thank all the staff at MTC for their significant efforts over the past two years in making the company such a success."
Digicel made global headlines this week when it announced that it will become the first major telecoms network operator to implement new ad-blocking technology in what is a shot across the bow of internet companies.
The operator, which has mobile networks in 31 countries across the South Pacific and the Caribbean, is to deploy ad-blocking technology from Israeli company Shine. The service will start in Jamaica and roll out to Digicel's other markets in the Caribbean and South Pacific in the coming months.
Yesterday the Wall Street Journal reported that Germany's Deutsche Telekom is considering following suit.
"This is about giving customers the best experience and about getting access to broadband to the unconnected and allowing them to benefit from the opportunities it affords," Denis O'Brien said, when the ad-blocking move was announced.
"Companies like Google, Yahoo and Facebook talk a great game and take a lot of credit when it comes to pushing the idea of broadband for all.
"But they put no money in. Instead they unashamedly trade off the efforts and investments of network operators like Digicel to make money for themselves.
"That's unacceptable, and we as a network operator, are taking a stand against them to force them to put their hands in their pockets and play a real role in improving the opportunities for economic empowerment for the global population."
Ad-blocking software is popular among younger phone users in particular, with a recent report from Dublin start-up Pagefair estimating that 20pc of all internet browsing in Europe is now being affected by ad-blocking software.
"Digicel says it is looking to companies like Google, Yahoo and Facebook to "enter into revenue sharing agreements with it so that this money in turn can be reinvested in network deployment".
"Currently, these companies do not pay to make use of the network and the services they provide on it suck up bandwidth to make money for themselves through advertising while putting no money in," Digicel said in a statement.

After a long 217 days since the last Formula One race took place in Abu Dhabi, and 102 days since the false start in Australia, finally, Grand Prix motor racing is back.
What would have been the 11th race of the 2020 season, now marked the beginning of the latest start to a Formula One campaign in history.
Austria hosts the shortest lap, timewise, of the season, with 10 corners, 3 DRS zones, plenty of elevation changes through the Styrian hills, and significantly punishing kerbing which would contribute to a challenging start to the season.
Last year’s Austrian Grand Prix saw an intense battle between two young game-changers on the grid, Red Bull’s Max Verstappen and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, with Verstappen, ultimately taking victory after a vigorous overtaking manoeuvre on the Ferrari driver.
This year, Verstappen started from P2 after Hamilton was dealt a three-place penalty for ignoring a yellow flag during yesterday’s qualifying, while Leclerc was further down the order than usual in P7.
Mercedes had dominated the first weekend of Practice and Qualifying with Bottas beating Hamilton to the coveted pole position by just one-tenth of a second.
Pole sitter, Valtteri Bottas made a great start, as did Max Verstappen, but he faced a strong if somewhat unexpected challenge from Lando Norris, who was trying to make the most of his elevated grid position in the McLaren.
Bottas built up a three-second lead by the end of the ninth lap on the soft compound tires, followed by Max Verstappen who opted for the slightly slower medium compound.
Verstappen was set to have an incredible race and battle with the Mercedes pair, but the Dutch driver became the first of 9 drivers not to finish the race after his car suddenly lost power, with the anti-stall system deploying, meaning last year’s Austrian Grand Prix winner was the first to bow out of this year’s season opener.
Hamilton had an easy time getting by Norris and Albon, and with Verstappen out of the race, he was up to second place but still with a lot of ground to cover to catch his Finnish teammate.
Daniel Ricciardo became the next to suffer during today’s race, after 19 laps, an issue with his Renault’s cooling system sent the Australian into the pits and out of the race.
The first safety car was deployed after Kevin Magnussen experienced breaking issues, resulting in the Haas car spinning off the track into an unsafe position.
The safety car left the track at the end of the 30th lap, allowing the battle to resume. While Bottas and Hamilton continued to race flat out, a technical issue was raising concern in the Mercedes garage.
Both drivers were warned to take it easy on the raised kerbs as sensors on the car indicated they were beginning to take a toll on the gearbox.
The advice, initially ignored by Hamilton, led to a final warning from the pit suggesting the problem was critical and threatening a one-two finish for the team.
A second safety car period was required, when George Russell coasted to a halt in his Williams.
Red Bull decided to take a chance and summoned Alex Albon into the pits for a tire change, opting for the soft compound, in the hopes of gaining ground on Hamilton for a podium finish.
As the safety car pulled in again, a frantic race to the finish looked to be on the cards.
Alex Albon quickly passed Sergio Perez, moments before Kimi Raikkonen’s Alfa Romeo lost its front wheel and the yellow flags were waved again.
When the safety car pulled in for the final time we were ready for a ten lap dash to the checkered flag.
Albon attacked Hamilton immediately but in his great haste to take second place from the world champion they made contact, the Red Bull coming off worse, as Albon spun into the gravel.
The 24-year-old did manage to rejoin but his chances of a podium were gone. Hamilton was deemed responsible for the incident and was handed a 5-second penalty.
Bottas drove an impeccable race and despite the early pressure from Hamilton, never put a foot wrong.
The Finnish driver deservedly took the checkered flag ahead of his teammate Hamilton, who would ultimately be demoted to fourth place.
Second place went to Leclerc, who made the most of others misfortune as he skilfully worked his way from P7 to a podium finish in a Ferrari that wasn’t expected to feature so prominently.
Of equal significance, was the performance of the McLaren in the hands of Lando Norris, who took the first podium position of his career coming in third, after a devastating final lap that saw him overtake his Spanish teammate.
Despite the high attrition rate, the first Grand Prix of the season provided no shortage of excitement.
Fans now only have just over four days to wait before the wheels turn in anger once again and if the second race at the Red Bull Ring proves even half as dramatic as today’s season opener, we’re in for a treat.

Johnson becomes two-time champ
Forest Grove senior Josh Johnson makes good on his goal of winning a second state championship
Moments after losing in the state wrestling finals a year ago, Josh Johnson set a goal to regain his place as a state champion.
Almost exactly a year later, Johnson was climbing to the top of the medal stand at Portland's Memorial Coliseum to accept his hard-earned state championship hardware.
Johnson became only the second repeat state champion in Forest Grove history, tying Hall of Famer Gary Regier by winning a 112-pound state title at the OSAA Class 6A Wrestling Tournament in February.
Johnson, a senior, completed a year-long quest to get back to the top of the medal stand. After winning a 103-pound state title as a sophomore, Johnson failed in his quest to repeat last season and set his sights on nothing less than a championship in 2011.
Facing a stacked 112-pound bracket that included nine returning state place-winners, Johnson drew the No. 1 seed and went to work proving that he deserved it. After easy wins over his first two opponents, Johnson beat Zach McKenna of Aloha in the semifinals and John Vara of Hillsboro in the finals.
'In the end,' Forest Grove head coach Frank Johnson said, 'it came down to being the better wrestler.'

If you’re looking for books set in Iceland, this is one you should definitely consider. I picked this one up as part of The Uncorked Librarian’s 2020 reading challenge and had the prompt not being ‘ books based in Iceland,’ I doubt I ever would have given it a second glance.
I’m glad I did though because this book is full of rich history, traditional sagas, and a mix of cultures.

From Iceland to Algiers
In 1627 on a tiny Icelandic island, Barbary pirates kidnapped around 250 people to sell as slaves in Algiers. Among those was the island pastor, Ólafur, his wife, Ásta, and their three children.
Told from the eyes of Ásta, this vivid retelling imagines how life would have been for the pastor’s wife. Separated from her son and husband, Ásta struggles to adapt to her loss of freedom and sudden captivity. To keep her grounded, she relays the folk tales of her homeland and through these, starts to connect with the other women living in her new home. She discovers a new culture and learns to follow their customs which differ greatly to her own traditions.
As many years pass, she settles into her new life and grows accustomed to this way of living. Ólafur, having been sent north to try and raise a ransom to release the captives, is still fighting to bring her home. But to Ásta, ‘home’ might not mean the same as it does to her husband. Have his efforts been in vain? Or can he still save his wife?
It’s all about the scenery
One thing the author does brilliantly is set the scene. Her words come to life, evoking quite a number of feelings: sea-sickness from the choppy waves on the very long boat journey, the despair that the people felt when the pirates roughly abducted them, disbelief at emerging into a stifling, bustling African country so unlike dreary and desolate Iceland. I felt Ásta’s anguish at losing her family, the dilemmas she faced as a slave, and her uncertainties in faith. Credit to the author for all the research she clearly did. Add to that the sagas and stories from different cultures which added a whole other layer.
A new perspective
Much of what happened during this era was thanks to Ólafur Egilsson who documented his journey as both a captive and traveller. In 2016, his travels were published, alongside a series of letters and historical background into Iceland and Algiers during the 17th Century. Rather than retell Ólafur’s story, the author wanted to give Anna a voice which I thought was an interesting angle. I had no prior knowledge in these events but I’m not intrigued to read Ólafur’s side.
Where are the missing stars?
As much as I enjoyed my first Icelandic novel, there were a couple of things I would have liked to see done differently.
- Plot and narrative – 3.3
The story as a whole was compelling and captivating, more so because it was based on true events. However, there were bits I thought were slow at times (such as on the boat and during some of the sagas). I wasn’t always desperate to keep turning the pages.
- Writing style and readability – 2.2
This was where the book really lacked for me. Firstly, the account is predominantly from Ásta’s eyes but at times, it switches to other perspectives (Ólafur, Cilleby, Magnús, Kifft, etc.). Although it’s a great insight to hear from other characters, it made the book confusing and less authentic. If the author wanted to go down this route, she could have labelled each chapter with the name of the person narrating, just to be clear. I also found parts that weren’t written to standard (such as missing commas) – this is a really tiny thing but it affects the way I read a sentence and can cause jarring when I have to go back and reread it as intended.
- Characters – 3.2
There were a few too many characters for me to get my head around, especially with the Icelandic names. The fact the author had to include a glossary of characters was a testament that there were perhaps too many. However, this glossary was a godsend.
- Diverse themes – 4.5
Icelandic sagas, a vibrant history, slave-trade, a mix of cultures, and pirates – diversity box ticked.
- Ending – 4.3
I was pleased with the way the book ended – it wasn’t what I expected but I thought it retained the realism and showed the difficulties people face over life-changing decisions.

Find Out What Your Sleeping Posture Says About You
The way you conduct yourself says a lot about the person you are. Even if you may try to create an impression about yourself, your body language can give away many traits of yours. But did you know that the way you sleep also sends out many non-verbal communications? Find out what your sleeping position reveals about you.
The Foetal Position
This is the most common sleep position, wherein the sleeper might hug a pillow or a stuffed toy. Those who sleep in the foetal position are described as being very emotional, artistic and sensitive and usually have intense relationships. A semi-foetal position is considered the optimal sleep position for comfort and body alignment.
“The Yearner” is another variation of this position, with the arms outstretched in front of the body as though the person sleeping is reaching out or “yearning.” People who sleep in this position are described as having open natures with a hint of cynicism or suspicion. They take a long time to make decisions, but once they do, they’re unlikely to change their minds.
It is observed that people who sleep on their stomachs with their hands around the pillow and their heads turned to one side, are usually brash. Despite their outgoing personality, they are pretty soft in the heart and dislike criticism. They are also like to be stubborn, persistent and goal-oriented.
People who sleep in a prostrate position are observed to be the sort who make friends easily. They are good listeners and easily offer help. They are authoritative, and offer excellent advice. They are likely to snore and breathe poorly during the night. If you are overweight and sleep in these positions, you might suffer from sleep apnoea.

A "suspicious device" found in a mailbox at a synagogue south of St. Augustine on Tuesday afternoon was an illegal commercial firework, according to the St. Johns County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies said a postal worker alerted them to the "device" at the Temple Bet Yam Synagogue in the 2000 block of Wildwood Drive just before 3 p.m. The area between State Road 207 and Treaty Park was closed to traffic and the bomb squad responded.
A Sheriff's Office robot was used to inspect the mailbox and neutralize any threat.
While there were no known treats to the synagogue, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were notified about the incident due to the nature of the location where the device was found. They have since been removed from the investigation.

When building out network labs, often multiple people will need access to the lab. The main way right now is to use something like EVE-NG or GNS3 to provide access.
There are 2 downsides to this method. The first is that your server is exposed to the internet and if your usernames/passwords aren’t strong enough, your server can become compromised. The second is that sometimes you may not want everyone to be able to add or edit to the lab topology.
The solution to this is using Containerlab and ZeroTier. This setup is great for things like testing new hires, training classes, or for providing lab access to others on a limited basis.
What is Containerlab?
Containerlab is a container orchestrating tool for managing container-based networking labs. It doesn’t just support Container based Network Operating Systems though. Through vrnetlab, there is support for a wide variety of commonly used NOSes: Mikrotik RouterOS, Nokia SROS, Juniper vMX and vQFX, and many more.
Configs are text based making it easy to add/update links between nodes. The lab does need to be destroyed and redeployed when adding/removing links. With some tools to generate configs, it’s easy to spin up a 500+ node lab in under 30 minutes.
What is ZeroTier?
ZeroTier is a mesh VPN that allows for Layer 2 connectivity. It is typically used in a remote worker scenario to provide access to internal company resources. In our case, we use it to provide remote lab access.
Setting it up
This assumes that Containerlab and ZeroTier are already setup on the lab server. One thing that will be needed on the lab server is to enable ip forwarding. Otherwise, the lab server won’t be able to forward packets.
Sample labs showing the changes needed between labs are available in a repo. The main differences between the labs are the lab names and management networks. In the sample labs, we hardcode the management IP addresses to make access easier. This isn’t necessary but makes it easier when not using DNS.
Once the labs are deployed, you should be able to SSH into all of the nodes from the server.
Then you need to setup a ZeroTier network. The first step is to add a route to the managed route pointing from the lab network to the server IP address (we set the server IP address to 172.22.0.1).
If you’re not worried about preventing cross pod access, you are all set. But if you want to secure access to each pod to prevent end users from accessing each others lab pod, some rules need to be added to the ZeroTier network. Those can be found in the GitHub repo file named zerotier.rules.
Then you can set your server to prevent user to user traffic.
To provide user access to their pod, select the correct capabilities for the pod
Using the lab
With the lab setup with the security features, you should be able to access the nodes via SSH or Winbox.
With the ZeroTier rules in place, you are not able to reach the other running pods.
Do you have a 3 tier, switched, or vendor proprietary data center design?
Does it rely on spanning tree or proprietary solutions to eliminate spanning tree?
Not sure how to migrate to a new architecture without serious downtime?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then this post is for you. We’ll be looking at deploying an EVPN/VxLAN Data Center fabric and migrating from a cisco fabricpath environment to the new design.
Although we will be focusing on a fabricpath migration many, if not all, of the principles apply to migrating a 3 tier architecture.
1. Building the new Data Center Fabric 2. Connecting the current fabricpath and new fabric 3. Migrating switched virtual interfaces 4. Migrating various types of physical devices
Building the new Data Center Fabric
The easiest part of designing and building the new fabric is the physical topology. This should be a symmetric topology to easily take advantage of equal cost multipath and add additional switches with ease. This is also known as a spine/leaf or clos topology. The basic idea is leafs connect to spines and spines connect to super spines. A leaf/spine should not connect to another switch of the same type expect for multichassis lag or virtual port-channel at the access layer if you’re utilizing this.
ISIS as an underlay routing protocol
Next you must decide on routing protocols. We will not examine layer 2 as this will be a completely routed fabric eliminating the need for any STP in your datacenter. Remember if you’re not Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, or Google (FANG) or some other webscaler you probably don’t have FANG problems i.e. there is no need to run a BGP underlay and learn to turn all the associated knobs to make that work; nor to engage in troubleshooting complex problems like path hunting.
For this reason we will look at utilizing Intermediate System to Intermediate System (ISIS) as an underlay with Internal Border Gateway Protocol (iBGP) as an overlay.
We prefer ISIS as an underlay network for data centers because:
it is easier to scale than OSPF
is extensible from the beginning (Type Length Values for additional capabilities)
better stability at scale
The secondary loopback is to enable the advertisement of a virtual IP address for traffic destined to the vPC pair. Single attached or routed links will advertise the physical IP address of the leaf so traffic returns the that specific leaf and not the pair.
iBGP as the overlay
The overlay is pretty straight forward. We will run iBGP with loopback peerings to exchange EVPN routes. EVPN scales significantly better than other VxLAN control plane protocols so we will not explore flood and learn or static assignment.
We will be utilizing vPC on the access layer for the remainder of the post. There are other methods for dual attached devices such as EVPN-multihoming but as this is cisco specific for fabricpath migrations they will not be discussed.
See an example configuration below of how the VIP/PIP mentioned earlier operate
Leaf BGP and NVE
host-reachability protocol bgp
advertise virtual-rmac ## for advertising the VIP
router bgp 8675309
address-family l2vpn evpn
advertise-pip ## for advertising PIP if single attached
address-family l2vpn evpn
Connecting the current fabricpath DC and new fabric
The first thing to do is decide on the physical point of interconnection. You’ll want to ensure you chose a place you have enough ports to do a dual sided vPC with enough bandwidth to cover lateral traffic between new/old until the migrations are complete.
Next we have to think about the layer 2 protocols in play. Since spanning tree isn’t in play on either side we need to take special consideration to make sure we do not introduce a layer 2 loop.
The EVPN/VxLAN side will not do anything with STP BPDUs but there is a requirement on the fabricpath side that it remains the root bridge. This is due to the entire fabricpath domain looking like one physical bridge. If a port in the fabricpath domain receives a superior BPDU a root-guard of sorts is enacted and the content edge port begins blocking.
Why do we care if STP doesn’t pass over the EVPN fabric? If the fabricpath environment is interconnected at two points then there will be a loop back to the fabricpath domain. This is a situation we want to avoid.
It can be avoided by:
only having one interconnect
manually pruning vlans at the two+ points of interconnect to ensure vlans remain on exactly ONE path
Migrating Switched Virtual Interfaces
Our preferred method of migrating SVIs from the old fabricpath environment to the new fabric is to:
build all of the new Distributed Anycast Gateways (DAG) on the new fabric
keep them shutdown
establish a L3 adjacency via BGP for routing traffic back to exit points until the migrations are complete
add the VLANs being migrated to the dual side vPC
shutdown the SVIs on the fabricpath side and no shut the DAGs on the new fabric
manually clear ARP on any hosts that did not update with the new DAG MAC
Migrating physical devices
Most of the physical devices are “easy” since there is no option but to physically move cables and you know this will result in a slight outage while the new uplinks come online.
However, with HA pairs of devices it is possible to migrate by moving the standby unit, waiting for the HA to reestablish, forcing a failover, move the active unit, and then “fail” back to the primary unit. This will test your HA setup as well as provide a seamless migration.
If you have new compute and storage you can migrate your workloads directly to the new environment and age out the legacy compute/storage.
Finally, ensure there are no more devices in use on your old environment and decommission the devices.
If you have questions or need assistance do not hesitate to reach out to us at iparchitechs.

Wedding photos are an art form when placed in the hands of an adequate photographer. Wedding photography is a tough feat as photographers have to capture every emotion in a moment. However, the best photographers can manage to do this with ease.
Weddings can sometimes be quite expensive. Expert wedding photography or videography alone might cost you a hefty amount of dollars. For that reason, most couples opt to either ask their family or friends to document their big day or just do not bother to have their special day documented only to cut back on their budget.
However, overlooking what professional photographers can do could only cause the soon-to-be husbands and wives tons of disappointments and a lot of stress. If not taken by professionals, the photos might be blurred, the color would either look pale or too vivid and sharp, or not well-lit. There is a big reason why pros should be tasked to cover special events – that is because wedding photography experts are well-experienced. But since most photography services come in an expensive price tag, couples are often taunted in hiring pros.
Get More Than What You Paid For
Even if hiring professionals can be quite daunting, couples should not let the documentation of one of the most special days of their lives be compromised as there are still wedding photographers out there whom couples can hire at a lower price like the experts in wedding photography in Melbourne. In spite of the affordability of their services, brides and grooms can rest assured that the photos brought to their table will not disappoint them. Professional wedding photographers have lots of experience and have underwent various pieces of training thus, they know how to work well in every given situation. They are also well equipped with various photography gears like backup accessories, high-quality lenses, and lighting equipment. That being said, every photo will have the highest quality. Aside from that, they can also expect that every photo can tell their story.
Do Not Go Settling for Less
Weddings are all unique and they do not always happen. That said, before couples walk down the aisle and say their vows, it is best to consider having pro lensmen to cover their once-in-a-lifetime experience. It is normal to be discouraged in hiring professionals but one should bear in mind that not all top wedding photographers cost expensive, as there are several experts whose services are lower than their competitors but can still deliver an even better result.

Yesterday Stefan texted me asking if I wanted to spend a few hours on the Edge. He's in the midst of a very entertaining battle to own the speed record on that route. This has to be the friendliest speed battle ever. This is not a Hans vs. Dean situation. I agreed because it's fun for me to even be peripherally involved with these incredible athletes. As satisfying as it is to help out a friend, I was also being helped out. Anytime I can have a rope-gun help me dial in the Edge, I take it.
We met Mike Schlauch just below Genesis. He was going up to work some heinous route. Stefan had tried it. I didn't even recognize the name or remember it. We chatted with Mike a bit too long and another party had started up the Ramp Route, headed for Anthill Direct. I figured we'd just wait, but when the belayer didn't even have his shoes on and the leader was placing a piece on the 4th class ramp, I knew we didn't have the patience. Stefan suggested we do Touch and Go and that sounded like the best solution, but then he said we should just solo by these guys and rope up later. The climbing up to the Cave is only 5.6, but it is quite steep in a couple of spots. I'd never soloed this approach before, though it should be in my comfort range. I agreed and the leader nicely let us by. I felt comfortable sans rope and we went clear to the Cave pitch. I didn't want to solo this pitch,. Though I've never fallen on it, it involves an awkward move to get out from the cave and I didn't see much to gain by adding this stress.
Once at the base, Stefan led the first pitch up to the anchors. He moved smoothly and placed three pieces of gear in 70 feet. After I lowered him back down to the ledge he casually said that had taken him 2m33s! You'd think a guy who can climb this pitch this fast wouldn't need to practice further, but the record is so ridiculous now that the teams are concentrating on trimming seconds.
Stefan then led the first and second pitches as one and I followed. I got the first pitch clean again, with a very tight rope from Stefan, but fell off the 10b section at the end of the second pitch. Ugh. Every hold felt desperate here. I think I was just pumped/tired. I then lowered Stefan back down to the start and the TRed the first and second pitches in 3m27s. Impressive. At this point even Stefan was complaining about about the very painful fingertip jamming on that first pitch.
Stefan led the third pitch, placing a single piece of gear in 140 feet. I followed. Stefan led the fourth pitch, the chimney pitch, and then lowered down from the anchors at the top. This is unusual for him to stop at this point, but he was here to practice and the next pitch traverses even more to the right, making lower down problematic. He switched the way he does the lower dihedral, using what he calls "the Hans Method", since I told him this was the way that Hans did it.
I TRed the pitch up to the belay. I climbed it clean, but it took me a good while to complete the moves into the chimney for a couple of minutes I was stuck, pressed into the chimney, but unable to move up because my feet were too low and my hands/arms too weak. I eventually made something work and got to the belay. Stefan climbed the pitch again and led up the crux pitch through the boulder problem and overhanging hand crack and then set up a belay right there, without doing the 5.6 climbing to the top. This was mainly for me - to give me a tighter rope while I flailed on this pitch - but also in case he wanted to lower down and go again. The weather was threatening, though, so he didn't do this.
I used Stefan's beta for the boulder problem and got it clean. Sweet. I rarely get this clean, but Stefan's method seemed pretty reasonable. I went up the ramp and on the duck-around move I really stressed my left knee and it still hurts. I must have twisted it while under pressure from squatting so low. I hope this doesn't linger.
All I had left to do was the final hand crack, maybe 20-25 feet of hard climbing. While I have redpointed the Naked Edge, I feel only my closest friends would believe that after watching my performance on this crack. The only positive thing I can say is that I didn't aid any of the moves. And that's only because Stefan only placed one piece, a #2 Camalot, and it was above the hardest climbing. I hung all over this section and only made it up because Stefan made sure I didn't drop at all when I weighted the rope. I think this was the hardest he worked all afternoon.
I led the last section to the top and we headed down the slabs. I was really tried from the climbing and moved at a glacial pace on the descent. I marveled that Stefan and Jason can descend from the top of the Edge to the bridge in just six minutes! I probably took 20 minutes.
It was a really fun afternoon and I learned some new tricks from the past (and future?) Naked Edge speed record holder.

WHAT IS AN ALTERNATIVE CAREER?
An alternative legal career is one where licensure or even law school graduation is not a prerequisite. Legal training and the application of legal skills can benefit lawyers who choose to pursue these opportunities. In some cases, a law degree may help someone to succeed in a field outside the practice of law. In other cases, legal experience may afford a law graduate a decided advantage over those who have not been to law school.
WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH A LAW DEGREE
(BESIDES PRACTICE LAW)?
From consulting to real estate to health care to HR, there are many non-traditional options available, and deciding upon a non-traditional legal career should be a thoughtful process. There are pros and cons to beginning your career outside of a traditional legal practice, and the information below will help you get started in determining if an alternative legal career is right for you.

“[Christa] Wolf was a committed dissident in the GDR (East Germany) and a forceful voice resisting Western triumphalism after reunification. It would seem like some sort of explanation was owed to the public. Yet how does one give an account of oneself when the link to the past, to the psychological and cultural backdrop of such fateful decisions, is not even subjectively available?” On City of Angels: Or, the Overcoat of Dr. Freud.
“He combed through the sahaflar, the second-hand bookshops that line the streets around the Grand Bazaar, their dusty wares stacked on haphazard tables. He sat by the New Mosque, drinking tea out of tulip-shaped cups, playing backgammon, and watching the fishermen’s wooden boats launch into the dirty waters of the Golden Horn.” For Public Books, Suzy Hansen writes about James Baldwin‘s less-well-documented time in Istanbul. Pair with this piece from our pages about the famed author, race, and fatherhood.
While we’re on the subject of Harry Potter, I have some bad news. According to J.K. Rowling herself, Cursed Child is likely the last we’ll ever see of the boy (now middle-aged) wizard: “He goes on a very big journey during these two plays and then, yeah, I think we’re done. This is the next generation, you know … So, I’m thrilled to see it realized so beautifully but, no, Harry is done now.”

Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland
The Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland removed the constitutional prohibition of divorce. It was effected by the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution Act, 1995, which was approved by referendum on 24 November 1995 and signed into law on 17 June 1996.
Changes to the text
- Deletion of the entirety of Article 41.3.2:
- No law shall be enacted providing for the grant of a dissolution of marriage.
- Substitution of new Article 41.3.2:
- A Court designated by law may grant a dissolution of marriage where, but only where, it is satisfied that—
- i. at the date of the institution of the proceedings, the spouses have lived apart from one another for a period of, or periods amounting to, at least four years during the previous five years,
- ii. there is no reasonable prospect of a reconciliation between the spouses,
- iii. such provision as the Court considers proper having regard to the circumstances exists or will be made for the spouses, any children of either or both of them and any other person prescribed by law, and
- iv. any further conditions prescribed by law are complied with.
An absolute ban on divorce had been present in the constitution since its adoption in 1937. The prohibition reflected the religious values of the document's Roman Catholic drafters, but was also supported by senior members of the Anglican Church of Ireland. In the 1930s some other nations had similar bans, such as Italy, which didn't repeal their bans until the 1970s. By the 1980s, however, many[who?] saw the prohibition on divorce as illiberal or as discriminating against those who did not share the Christian attitude towards divorce.
The first attempt to remove the ban on divorce was the 1986 divorce referendum, held by the Fine Gael government of Garret FitzGerald. However, the proposal was rejected by voters by a substantial margin, over 25 percent. Shortly before its collapse, the 1989–92 government published a white paper on marriage breakdown, which proposed "to have a referendum on divorce after a full debate on the complex issues involved and following the enactment of other legislative proposals in the area of family law". When Fine Gael returned to government in 1994 under John Bruton an amendment bill was introduced and, after much controversy and public debate, the referendum was ultimately carried by a very slim margin, just over 0.5 percent. The Fifteenth Amendment altered Article 41.3 of the constitution, which provides for a number of fundamental rights of the family. The amendment removed the absolute prohibition on divorce but imposed a number of restrictions on its occurrence. The Catholic Church was strongly against the amendment, but stated that Catholics could vote for the amendment in good conscience, and that it would not be a sin to do so.
|Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland referendum|
|Invalid or blank votes||5,372||0.33|
|Registered voters and turnout||2,628,834||62.15|
The returning officer submitted a provisional certificate of the result of the referendum in the High Court as required by the Referendum Act, 1994. A petition against the result was lodged by Des Hanafin, a Senator and Fianna Fáil member, which was dismissed by the High Court on 9 February 1996. Hanafin appealed to the Supreme Court, which in June upheld the High Court decision. The High Court then endorsed the provisional certificate on 14 June 1996. President Mary Robinson signed the amendment bill into law three days later.
Before the referendum, a draft Family Law (Divorce) Bill was published to illustrate how the Constitutional provisions would be implemented if the amendment were passed. Once the Constitutional amendment came into force, the divorce bill was introduced in the Oireachtas on 27 June 1996 and signed into law on 27 November 1996. This gave effect in primary legislation to the new Constitutional provisions. Although this act, the Family Law (Divorce) Act, 1996, specified its own commencement date as 27 February 1997, the first divorce was granted on 17 January 1997, based solely on the constitutional amendment, to a dying man who wanted urgently to marry his new partner.

Inevitably, this is the key question when first looking into what it takes to attain certification to the Quality Management standard.
The issue is that cost can be affected by multiple factors, together with the level of support you believe you need. We’ll delve into that shortly, but for now, let’s deal directly with the question.
What influences the cost?
The main factors are:
- Your industry (and resulting complexity)
- Amount of sites
- The output of those sites
- Amount of employees
These factors influence how much Auditing time is required, and therefore the overall cost. Regardless of experience, the process is the same. It involves an initial ‘Stage 1 Audit’ to see how you perform against the requirements of ISO 9001, followed by a second ‘Stage 2 Audit’ once you’ve had time to make sure you’ve filled any gaps.
A sampling process is allowed, so if you have multiple sites all doing the same activities, they would be visited on a rotation basis. Similarly, you are not penalised by having hundreds of staff doing the exact same role (e.g. a call centre operation).
Have all of the above information to hand? You can get a quote back within minutes using our online form, or simply call us free on 0800 404 7007.
Can I really do it alone?
Many of our clients implement ISO 9001 with no prior experience and achieve certification without a hitch. Our client Fitnut is one such example, and they declared it “the best thing that we have ever done for our business.”
ISO 9001 isn’t rocket science – the key is whether you have the resource to be able to implement the standard, whilst still doing your day job.
The reality is most of our clients don’t have the luxury of a dedicated ‘Quality Manager’. Fortunately, this isn’t a necessity – you just need someone with a good understanding of the business to be responsible. Ideally, you’d have a small team to share the load, and help with gaining wider engagement, as this makes implementation far easier.
What’s the recommended approach?
We respect that many clients need certification in order to gain access to important contracts. However, it’s important to note that implementing ISO 9001 should save you money, as long as you approach it in the right way. ISO 9001 presents an opportunity to:
- Find gaps in your processes
- Reduce mistakes and re-work
- Improve your service to clients
- Improve internal communication
- Define responsibilities
Efficiency yields time and cost savings, so integrating ISO 9001 into your strategy shouldn’t cost you anything at all. Those that find ISO 9001 expensive tend be those that have not integrated the standard into their day-to-day. Instead, it becomes a burden, as it continues to be something they have to do in addition to their job.
MORE BENEFITS: Understand why 96% say you should go for ISO 9001.
Where does your money go?
For simplicity, we always quote a Fixed Fee. To help with cash flow, we also split the cost. We’re able to do this as we employ all of our Auditors and – as such – have full control over our costs. As a result, you don’t need to watch out for any travel or administration costs tucked into the small print.
We pride ourselves on providing a solution for smaller organisations to achieve certification first time, with no previous experience. Not only do we aim to add value wherever possible during Audits, all clients benefit from our template ‘toolkit’ which enables them to get started on building their ISO 9001 management system.
For added assurance, all Auditing work is checked and signed off by our compliance team. It’s this comprehensive approach which results in us being a bona fide UKAS accredited Certification Body. As a result, this sign of quality means your certificate is recognised anywhere.

(11 Aug 2020) To mark the 25th anniversary of the Gugak Museum and the 70th anniversary of the NGC (National Gugak Center) next year, the NGC opened a public library that has accumulated collections on North Korean music covering up to 82,000 new artifacts.
The space called “Gonggan E-um,” meaning connecting space, opened to the public on Monday in the NGC’s museum. People who make reservations in advance can browse or copy up to 23,000 books, 54,000 audio or video recordings and 5,000 related files on the music of North Korea ranging from past to present. Due to intellectual property concerns, copying every file is not allowed. This is the first such state-run library to open its collections to the public on the theme of North Korean arts. Its North Korean collection is larger than the unification ministry’s, according to Lim Jae-won, director general of the NGC.

Remember my blueberry scones? The ingredients I used are no different than the ingredients I used in making these scones except for the apples and raisins. Apples are in abundance now. We bought apples from the market for a $.89 per lb. Since the harvest season has started, we’ve been using apples in our salads. We’ve also been having them as snacks. When I looked at our fruit basket, I found out that some of the apples were actually starting to rot so I had to cook the good ones. When my kids were younger, I used to make the apples into applesauce but now that they've grown, it seems unimaginable to them that I have been feeding them applesauce. I have tried making apple pies before but I never perfected the dough. Well, the scones were my next choice.
Using the ingredients for my blueberry scone, I used apples and raisins instead of blueberries. I used about ¾ cup of cooked apples and ¼ cup of raisins.
I first peeled about 3 apples, wedged them and put them in a deep saucepan. I cooked the apples for about 10 minutes adding 2 tbsp of brown sugar and 1 tbsp of cinnamon powder. I let it cool for about an hour.

When evaluating an experiment, it's good practice to actually participate in what is being tested. First hand knowledge is key.
So we are a little puzzled by the complaints of a couple of DuPage County judges on the use of cameras in the courtroom when they have denied all requests to allow them.
DuPage is one of 35 Illinois counties (out of 102) that are part of the Illinois Supreme Court's test program allowing cameras if the trial judge OKs it. It's a compromise between a blanket OK in all cases and a blanket ban in all cases.
It should come as no surprise that the Daily Herald backs this program and would expect one day to have cameras allowed in all courtrooms in the state. Certainly, we'd like to see all the counties in the suburban area participating in the test program. Currently, DuPage, Kane and Lake counties are participating.
McHenry County is not, a mistake in our view. And Cook County, the largest judicial system in the state, has been delayed because of logistics problems. We urge Chief Judge Timothy Evans to make this a priority.
But back to DuPage. While DuPage Chief Judge John Elsner told Legal Affairs Writer Josh Stockinger in an article published Monday that the county's experience has been nothing but positive, fellow judges Kathryn Creswell and George Bakalis say there are too many negatives for them to participate.
"It does nothing to advance transparency in the courtroom proceeding, and it may in fact jeopardize the defendant's right to a fair trial in the future," Creswell said.
Yet, by all accounts, the area's first televised trial -- that of a defendant in a triple murder trial in DuPage -- went off without a hitch. And to Bakalis' complaint that the news media are interested only in sensationalized cases, other Illinois counties have covered civil court cases and a drug court graduation.
"The stereotype is, the media is only interested in high-profile cases," said Illinois Supreme Court spokesman Joe Tybor. "But I don't think that means the media is not interested in using cameras in the courtroom to educate. To me, it would be important for judges who are not inclined toward allowing cameras to experience them."
That's a reasonable expectation. The power rests with the judges, who can set the rules for their courtroom. When the test program started last year, Illinois was one of only 14 states that barred cameras in local courtrooms (it has allowed for many years cameras in the appellate and supreme courts.)
We believe that used in a nondisruptive way cameras do provide an education about how our judicial system works -- whether a high-profile case or not -- and clearly by their very nature help to ensure transparency.

Overview of protein ubiquitylation
Post-translational attachment of ubiquitin (Ub), or ubiquitylation, controls most intracellular processes, including protein turnover, intracellular signalling, endocytosis and the DNA damage response [Leznicki and Kulathu, 2017].
Ubiquitin is most often conjugated to lysine residues of target proteins in a reaction catalysed by an enzymatic cascade that involves the E1 activating, E2 conjugating and E3 ligating enzymes.
Ubiquitylation can be reversed by deubiquitylating (or deubiquitinating) enzymes (DUBs) that cleave ubiquitin off the substrate protein or within ubiquitins in a polyubiquitin chain.
The importance of the components of the ubiquitin conjugation and deconjugation systems is underscored by the fact that their deregulation has been linked to the pathogenesis of a number of human diseases, such as cancer, and neurodegenerative, inflammatory and metabolic disorders [Heideker and Wertz, 2015]. We have now created this site to help researchers gain access to these reagents and help facilitate worldwide research.

It seems almost impossible to find real coupons dedicated to hearing aids. Has anyone had any luck? On many levels it makes sense that hearing aid coupons would not be offered, but I would think that some version would be offered. Perhaps a clinic would offer a coupon for half of a hearing inspection if it lead to the purchase of a hearing aid? OR maybe there are companies that offer coupons for hearing aid batteries?
Despite a fair amount of searching, I have not found any hearing aid related coupons. Please direct me and our user base if we are missing them.
As mentioned, coupons for hearing aids are hard to find and it seems this should not be the case. Couldn’t Oticon or Phonak partner with a large store such as costco and give price discounts to the thousands of costco members who need hearing aids? It seems to me to be a win win, especially given the very difficult road blocks that are thrown up by the insurance industry.
So, I put this blog to our readers, where can we find coupons for our hearing aids? Please add any relevant information, we will all be very appreciative.

Yesterday, as expected in San Francisco, Apple unveiled the heavily rumoured iPad 3 (and called it the new iPad just to confuse us when technical blogging)! With this device, Apple have massively increased the resolution of the device to quadruple its predecessors (double the resolution in width and height). So what does this mean for apps involving reading (like YUDU’s technology)?
Firstly, all existing apps will work just fine without any changes – we’re not dealing with the same kind of upgrade we saw when the iPhone 4 first came out, but the increase in clarity is astonishing for new iPad owners (of which there will be millions this quarter).
This affects reading apps (particularly apps dealing with high fidelity print layouts for magazines and catalogs like ours), not to mention fixed layout rich books on the iBookstore in a very positive way – it reduces, and in some cases, eliminates the need to zoom to read pages, making the reading experience effortless.
Publishers have had a hard time with the iPad historically – their customers demand content on the device, but do they completely redesign their entire magazine or catalog for reading on a low resolution small screen (at their own cost, which is very high in some cases), hoping that they’ll get a good amount of new customers on the iPad, or do they allow for simple, quick consumption with the existing print based layouts (which have been refined over many years for readability in print).
We serve both choices equally well, processing the high quality print assets for you, but with this upgrade, the screen now gives the reader four times as much detail without zooming into the page at all, which really helps the publisher.
Of course, this is only one of two reasons to zoom – the need to see more detail due to the screen’s resolution being low (compared with print). The other case is still necessary (seeing a bigger physical rendering of part of a page) due to eyesight issues or the font size from the publisher still being too small despite the device being able to display it clearly.
If you’re an existing customer, we’re upgrading all existing apps with HD content for you, so no need to worry, and if you haven’t yet decided to create an app for your titles, why not give us a call and see how good your pages look on the new iPad?

eBay Selling Tips
Many people look for eBay selling tips. They want a shortcut to successfully selling on eBay. This article contains nine tips for selling on eBay.
Some of these eBay selling tips will save you money, others will result in higher prices. Either way, these free tips will help you run more profitable eBay auctions.
Nine eBay Selling Tips:
That's nine simple eBay selling tips.
- Write a simple description and do not clutter your auction with unneeded items like animated Gifs, and colored backgrounds. Remember, you are selling not entertaining.
- Charge a flat rate for shipping, and mention the shipping costs prominently within your auction description.
- Write a title that accurately describes your item. Use manufacturers name and model number within the title if applicable.
- Write a detailed description that allows prospective bidders to make a decision about purchasing the item. A related selling tip is the description can never be too long as long as it is describing the item.
- Include large clear photographs. Invest in some lights and a quality camera. Your investment will pay for itself in higher eBay selling prices within only a few auctions.
- Host your own eBay pictures. By hosting your own pictures, you will save money, and, more importantly, be able to use as many pictures as you need to adequately show eBay bidders your item. This is the simplest thing to do, and yet 70 percent of people selling on eBay ignore this simple tip. This is explained in the free report Free eBay Images Made Easy.
- Optimize your images for the web. Many sellers use the highest resolution settings on their cameras and generate huge files that download very slowly. Computer monitors only show 72DPI, any extra detail is just a waste of the bidder's time.
- List your item in the most appropriate eBay category. Many buyer's only search eBay by looking at listings within categories. If you are not in the right eBay category you will not be seen by lots of potential bidders and you item may end up selling for less than it's worth.
- Systemize your eBay selling. Using a system to sell on eBay will lower the amount of time spent selling each item, and insure you don't forget any important activities.
The Auction Revolution contains a complete step by step explanation of an eBay selling system. The first page of the Auction Revolution website contains a free eBay seller's quiz. The quiz will help you determine what aspects of your eBay selling need improvement.

Two months ago, Texas Child Protective Services raided the Yearning for Zion Ranch, a polygamous compound run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (FLDS). More than 400 children were taken into custody.
Yesterday, Barbara Walther, the district judge in Schleicher County, Texas, responding to a decision by the Texas Supreme Court, ruled that the state had to return those children. Texas did not have enough evidence to seize them, they said.
In our first hour, NPR's Wade Goodwyn will tell us more about Judge Walther's decision, the Yearning for Zion Ranch, and the FLDS. Then we'll hear from Jackie Carter, who directs the High Sky Children's Ranch, where 15 girls went after the raid; Scott McCown, the director for the Center for Public Policy Priorities, based in Austin; and Dan Adams, who runs Cal Farley's Boys Ranch, where 72 boys have been housed.
Do you have questions about the raid? About the ruling? Do you think that Texas Child Protective Services went too far? Should they have intervened?

Epic Fails To See Second Screen Play Value
Epic Games Vice-President Mark Rein has spoken in regards to second-screen play seen lately on the Wii U and Xbox SmartGlass. He believes there will be a time for this eventually, where a killer app will be released, but now is not that time.
While speaking with Alist Daily, Rein said:
I think we’ve yet to see the real value of the second screen idea, if you’re talking about [Xbox] SmartGlass and companion apps and things like that. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t be big one day. I don’t really know what it is yet.
Where it fits into gaming, I don’t know. I’m not sold on picking up my tablet to choose my play and then putting it back down and picking up my controller. It’s kind of a wonky way to choose to play, so I don’t know if that’s how it’s going to go or not. Developers should try everything and have lots of fun with it, and sooner or later there will be a killer app for that sort of thing, too.
Second screen gaming seems to be becoming a normal thing for many developers. Watch Dogs will feature second screen play with its multiplayer mode and The Division will use it for drone controls.
Is second screen something you are utilizing or will be adapting to? Let us know below.

If you are looking for a weight-loss supplement that can help you reduce weight fast, then you should attempt Pruvit. The item is made by Sanofi Aventis and was created by Dr. Mehmet C. Oz, who is a preferred medical professional on the Oprah Winfrey show. Dr. Oz has actually been using ketones as a weight loss help for several years, so he is plainly an authority on this subject. In his book The Thin Line, he goes over the advantages of ketones for the heart, the brain, the kidneys, the digestive system and the hormonal agent balance. He even mentions the possibility of combating weight problems with ketones! So, if he states it works, it must be working for some people. Keto Os Bhb Per Serving
But is it truly working? Well, it is essential to go over the different approaches of using an exogenous ketones supplement to see if they will be an appropriate weight-loss aid for you. There are a lot of claims out there concerning the efficiency of these supplements. Similar to any weight loss plan, it is best to do your research before starting a program.
One of the manner ins which exogenous ketones can work is by improving your metabolism and breaking down fat shops. These claims have been proven in clinical trials of healthy volunteers. In one study, participants had to follow a keto diet for 10 weeks. During the very first 2 weeks, there were no substantial changes in either weight or BMI. But after the 3rd week, their weight decreased significantly (by ten pounds). The researchers attributed the weight loss to increased energy levels resulting from the high levels of ketones in their body.
To get the most out of these supplements, it is advised that you keep away from consuming a lot of carbs. In light of current newspaper article about how “hazardous” carbohydrates are for the body, taking in too many carbohydrates can hinder your ability to use exogenous ketones for weight loss. However, it is important to recognize that while you are reducing the quantity of carbs you take in, you ought to still get sufficient proteins and fats to keep you going during the day. Keto Os Bhb Per Serving
The next manner in which exogenous ketones work is by increasing the production of your metabolism. This suggests that your body can now convert kept glucose to fat-burning energy. The majority of the popular weight reduction supplements consist of Ephedra and other stimulants that increase the level of glucose in your system.
If you wish to truly get the most out of your weight loss efforts, it is likewise crucial to discover how to appropriately take your fruit diet and exogenous ketone supplements. Correctly taking these items will increase your metabolism so that your body can start to burn fat at a greater rate. When this occurs, you will start to lose more weight than if you had just attempted to follow a low-calorie diet. Keto Os Bhb Per Serving
For instance, there is one key guideline to follow with pruvit. While the product has one essential active ingredient, the main ingredients are mainly simple carbs such as corn or rice bran oil, glucose, and a range of soy and whey proteins. While a few of these ingredients, particularly glucose, might offer some advantage for the body’s overall health and working, they are not extremely high in calories, specifically compared to other typical carbohydrates found in diet plan food like white bread or pasta. Therefore, it is wise to prevent using these items in place of other high-calorie foods. Additionally, because the item includes mainly simple carbs, it can be really easy to establish a taste for it and therefore establish an addiction.
Nevertheless, there is likewise another reason why some people have an aversion to this product. Among the main ingredients in Pruvit is guarana, which has a very high material of caffeine. While caffeine is a natural boost for weight reduction functions, it can also have unfavorable adverse effects for some individuals. In addition to being extremely high in caffeine, guarana can also be incredibly unstable and tough to metabolize, especially in individuals who are suffering from a medical condition or suffer from kidney disease. In these cases, the extra weight might not be disappearing quickly adequate and an individual may not be seeing the quick results that they are hoping for. While it can be fairly effective in weight-loss and burning body fat, it is still best to thoroughly consider if it is right for you.

The nation’s largest drug distributor cut off shipments of controlled substances to a Mingo County pharmacy last month over concerns of prescriptions being improperly filled there.
McKesson Corp. terminated its contract with Tug Valley Pharmacy in a phone call Jan. 8 — the same day West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced he was suing the drug distributor alleging it failed to detect, report and help stop the flood of controlled substances into the state.
On Jan. 20, an attorney for the pharmacy filed an emergency petition in Kanawha Circuit Court asking that a judge immediately force McKesson to continue providing it with controlled substances.
McKesson hadn’t provided the pharmacy with any advanced notice before cutting off shipments and that violates their business agreement, the petition argued.
Continuing business with Tug Valley Pharmacy would be a risk for McKesson, an attorney for the company wrote in response to the petition.
McKesson risks having the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency or the state Board of Pharmacy take regulatory action if it were to resume shipments to the pharmacy, attorney, Russell Jessee, of the firm, Steptoe and Johnson, wrote Jan. 25.
Kanawha Circuit Judge Tod Kaufman had set a hearing for Jan. 29, but attorneys for both sides requested that it be canceled. An attorney for the pharmacy, Paul Stroebel, withdrew the petition. Court documents didn’t give any explanation about why the petition was withdrawn and Stroebel couldn’t be reached for comment this week.
McKesson did not agree to restart dispensing controlled substances to the pharmacy, Jessee said Tuesday. He would not comment further.
Besides the lawsuit brought by Morrisey’s office, McKesson wrote that it also cut off business with the pharmacy after finding out about the large number of prescriptions for controlled substances it was filling.
Tug Valley Pharmacy is a defendant in eight lawsuits, which allege it negligently filled prescriptions and caused customers to become addicted to opioids, McKesson points out in its response to the petition.
The company says it learned of the lawsuits against the pharmacy through a CBS News report and then began its own investigation into the pharmacy.
In a brief in one of the lawsuits, the response states, McKesson read testimony from the pharmacy’s owner, Samuel Ballengee, admitting that he filled more than 150 prescriptions a day from one pain clinic alone.
“Thus, McKesson’s review provided McKesson with a good-faith belief that continued shipments to the Tug Valley Pharmacy put McKesson ‘in jeopardy of being noncompliant’ with federal and/or state laws and regulations concerning the distribution of controlled substances,” the response states.
The lawsuit against McKesson filed by Morrisey’s office alleges that McKesson sent nearly 100 million doses of the prescription painkillers hydrocodone and oxycodone to West Virginia between 2007 and 2012.
The attorney general’s lawsuit against McKesson came more than a year after two state agencies — the Department of Health and Human Resources and the Department of Military Affairs and Public Safety — asked Morrisey to sue the drug company. The agencies said McKesson was shipping an excessive number of pain pills to West Virginia.
McKesson had shipped drugs to the Tug Valley Pharmacy since last September, court documents show.
The company shipped 3.4 million doses to Mingo County, Morrisey’s office said, enough pills to give for 131 doses for each person.

I just created a WP blog and I was hoping to monetize it by adding some CPA offers, Adsense, etc. but I am not sure how to add the codes for such offers on the blog. Right now, I am using one of those generic free themes for the blog but where and how should I add such monetization codes? I have looked at the dashboard and I am confused!
Any further clarifications would be appreciated, thanks!

Standard Guide for Validating New Area Reference Skid Measurement Systems and Equipment
|Publication Date:||1 August 2006|

Friction characteristics of traveled surfaces are monitored by skid measurement systems, and the operating procedure for the use of these systems is Test Method E 274. However, dynamic measurement differences between these systems, that comply with the requirements of Test Method E 274, require that each of these systems be correlated to each other system. The most effective approach to accomplish this correlation is to compare each system to a singular, highly accurate system, or to a very limited number (two or three) of systems, in a controlled environment. The ARSMS'were designed to be such systems. Fig. 1 depicts a skid measurement system and shows the general location of the major components.
This guide defines the process of ensuring that the ARSMS'continue to accomplish their intended purpose.View Less
1.1 This guide covers validating area reference skid measurement systems (ARSMS) and related equipment. These systems have been used since 1976 to evaluate and correlate Test Method E 274 skid measurement systems used primarily as a pavement management tool by state Departments of Transportation. Also, this guide provides guidelines for the revalidation process following the replacement of components within an ARSMS.
1.2 This guide is offered as a process to identify and quantify the variables that affect system performance, to minimize the effect of these variables, and to provide a method of validating a new ARSMS to replace an existing ARSMS that has provided quality correlation data for a very long time.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard since the ARSMS will be compared with state departments of transportation systems that all currently use inch-pound units. The SI values given in parentheses are provided for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

The web is simply the most recent in a line of technologies that have actually significantly altered our lives.
Whether there have actually been 3 or four industrial transformations refers some conflict. Some individuals count the introduction of nuclear power as the fuel for the third industrial revolution, which means that the present history of industry 1.0 to 4.0 brings us approximately the internet today as the 4th industrial revolution. Nevertheless, as nuclear power is often used to satisfy the very same functions as coal power stations-- albeit without the downsides of nonrenewable fuel source use-- some individuals argue that it was not innovative. The 3rd industrial revolution, for that reason, is more usually viewed as the internet. Although the history of the software industry is complex, it has altered lives all over the world, and has enabled the continuous success of tech business owners like Nicolai Baldin. The internet is progressively operating on renewable energy, as the power supply for this newest industrial revolution is ending up being more mainstream and available.
The history textbooks are clear: the history of industry and technology have actually always been connected. In the 2nd industrial revolution, for instance, the development of the combustion engine would not have actually been viable without the extraction of oil and gas on a large scale. This did not just make possible the development of the automotive and the plane, but also allowed for producing on a bigger scale than ever. The history of the oil industry has its own complexities, however it is undeniable that it helped to create the world we reside in now. If the engineers of 2 centuries back were at the coalface of the initial industrial revolution, the technological entrepreneurs these days, like Viktor Prokopenya, are at the coalface currently. With the development of the oil and gas industries came the widespread use of energy, which ultimately caused the web and advancements in computing, which would have been unthinkable 2 centuries earlier.
The advancement of power and electrical power has changed the modern world in simply a couple of short centuries. The effects of coal, gas and nuclear power have caused the prevalent use of electrical energy and higher manufacturing ability, leading to higher standards of living and more employment opportunities than ever. The history of the manufacturing industry is significantly linked with the succeeding industrial revolutions that shook the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Originating from the intensive mining of coal, sustaining the advancement of the steam engine, the very first industrial revolution resulted in products being mass-produced for the first time using mechanised procedures, causing considerable social modification. Business Owners like Annika Monari today might attest to the profound changes that new technologies can produce. While the development of the steam engine was the very first huge moment in the history of the industrial revolution, the revolution is arguably still taking place today through the modifications wrought by the internet.

C.J. Watson is hobbled after playing hurt
BY MARK POTASH firstname.lastname@example.org March 5, 2012 10:30PM
Luol Deng scored 20 points and grabbed six rebounds in 40 minutes against the Pacers. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: April 10, 2012 10:34AM
C.J. Watson paid the price for a noble effort in Sunday’s victory over the Philadelphia 76ers. After suffering a sprained ankle late in the first half, Watson scored seven of his nine points in the fourth quarter to help the Bulls pull out a 96-91 victory. But the ankle blew up on Watson overnight, and the valuable backup to Derrick Rose missed Monday night’s game against the Indiana Pacers.
Watson received treatment Monday and is day-to-day, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.
The decision to play Watson after he suffered the injury was Watson’s.
‘‘We taped it up at half, and he said he wanted to give it a shot,’’ Thibodeau said. ‘‘He did. But he had swelling [Monday].’’
Watson has missed 13 of the Bulls’ 40 games. With Watson out, John Lucas III backed up Rose.
‘‘We’ve been there before,’’ Thibodeau said. ‘‘We like our depth. One guy goes down, the next guy steps up. You just have to be ready to go. John’s played extremely well for us.’’
We’re No. 1?
The Bulls (32-8) boast the best record in the NBA, an important distinction when it comes to playoff seeding. But Thibodeau said the Bulls are not preoccupied with their standing in the league.
‘‘We don’t look at that,’’ he said. ‘‘Our concentration is to be ready for tonight’s game. Try to improve every day. And then we’ll see where we are in the end.’’
Pacers lurking in East
The Pacers came into Monday night’s game with a six-game winning streak, albeit against teams with a combined record of 52-164. But they won four of them by margins of 35 (Bobcats), 24 (Warriors), 18 (Hornets) and 14 (Bobcats).
Like the 76ers, the Pacers can match the Bulls with one glaring exception — no Rose.
Asked if he’d like to see his team make a trade before the deadline, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said, only ‘‘if it makes sense.’’
‘‘I like the team we have now,’’ Vogel said. ‘‘I don’t think we have a ceiling. Our potential is high. We can beat anybody come playoff time. I’m just enjoying coaching this team the way it is.’’
Coming off three consecutive victories on the road, the Bulls began a stretch of seven-of-eight games at the United Center, where they were 15-2 coming after Monday night’s victory. The one road game in that stretch is Wednesday night in Milwaukee — which has become a virtual home game for the Bulls since last season.
After returning from Milwaukee, the Bulls face the Magic, Jazz, Knicks, Heat, Trail Blazers and 76ers at the United Center. They play 16 of their final 26 regular-season games at home.

July 1 (Bloomberg) -- BlackRock Inc.’s Barbara Novick was contemplating retirement a year ago when Chief Executive Officer Laurence D. Fink asked her if she would jumpstart lobbying efforts in Washington.
The acquisition of Barclays Global Investors on Dec. 1 had made BlackRock the world’s biggest asset-management firm. With $3.4 trillion client assets held in investment vehicles ranging from money-market funds to hedge funds, Fink realized he couldn’t rely on industry groups or outside lobbyists as lawmakers discussed the biggest regulatory overhaul since the 1930s. Novick, one of the firm’s eight founders, accepted.
“In the past for capital-markets issues, we used to defer to Wall Street,” Novick, 49, said in an interview from her office in New York. “But today, investors need to be included in the discussion.”
Her efforts, only the second time that BlackRock lobbied in Washington, paid off when House and Senate negotiators on June 25 rewrote financial-market rules that would have hurt hedge funds and restricted the use by pension plans of stable-value funds, which BlackRock offers. Rivals including Legg Mason Inc. have hired lobbyists over the past year as regulators seek to tighten rules on everything from the use of derivatives to mortgage-backed securities.
“Players like BlackRock have an enormous impact on the economy and the financial markets,” said Burton Greenwald, an independent fund consultant near Philadelphia. “The recent history of financial disasters has created an environment of regulation, and asset managers are very wary of collateral damage.”
Fidelity Spends Most
Asset-management firms whose main business consists of selling mutual funds do most of their lobbying through the Investment Company Institute, the Washington-based trade group that represents mutual-fund companies. The ICI is involved in issues concerning money-market funds, 401(k) and retirement savings and tax issues, Ianthe Zabel, a spokeswoman for the group, said in an e-mail. Hedge funds and private-equity funds typically go through the Managed Funds Association.
Outside of the ICI, Fidelity Investments and Vanguard Group Inc., the two largest U.S. mutual fund firms, spent the most money among peers on lobbying last year, data from Opensecrets.org show. Fidelity spent $2.9 million and Vanguard $1.2 million, compared with $390,000 for BlackRock and $580,000 for Legg Mason, according to the website, which tracks campaign spending.
“There’s a lot of trade associations and each one covers a slice, but none of them cover what I’d call investor issues on a broad basis,” Novick said.
BlackRock, started in 1988 in a one-room office in Manhattan, has lobbied once before, Novick said, in the aftermath of the mutual-fund market timing scandals disclosed in 2003 by Eliot Spitzer, who at that time was New York attorney general. Spitzer targeted firms that permitted hedge funds and brokers to make improper rapid trades in their mutual funds. After this scandal, regulators briefly discussed whether the same manager should be able to sell mutual funds and hedge funds. BlackRock hired a lobbyist to successfully argue that they should.
More recently, the firm has fostered its Washington ties by helping the government value illiquid securities during the financial crisis. BlackRock was picked to evaluate portfolios formerly owned by Bear Stearns Cos. and American International Group Inc. Last year, it became one of eight asset managers to buy toxic assets from banks under the U.S. government’s Public-Private Investment Program.
As head of BlackRock’s government relations and public policy, Novick spends a couple of days a month in Washington, preferring to take a high-speed train to the capital rather than flying. While she doesn’t have a background in politics, Novick has experience working with investors on virtually every type of fund that BlackRock sells to clients.
Novick started at BlackRock overseeing services for retail clients and the firm’s closed-end fund investors, responsible for business development, marketing and other services. She helped build the firm’s base of institutional investors in the early 1990s. As BlackRock’s business grew, she became head of the unit that later came to be called the global client group.
“Barbara built a magnificent client-service business here at BlackRock,” Fink said in an interview. “After 20 years with BlackRock, when she said she wanted to retire, I said ‘I’m not going to let you’.”
A Dozen Issues
Rather than hire a lobbyist entrenched in Washington, Fink said he wanted Novick to lead the effort because she understood issues that affected BlackRock’s investors.
“I did not want a lobbyist who had little understanding of the asset management business,” Fink says.
Novick ticks off at least a dozen issues in the proposed financial regulation that will have an impact on investors in BlackRock’s funds, and an additional seven that will affect financial advisers. Among the items on BlackRock’s list is a proposal that would have restricted the use of swaps at pension plans and the so-called Volcker rule that sought to ban proprietary trading at U.S. banks.
Both proposals were rewritten by Senate negotiators in the final version of the bill that will be presented to the president. Under the proposal to restrict banks from proprietary trading, nicknamed after former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, lenders will now be allowed to invest in private-equity and hedge funds, although they will be limited to providing no more than 3 percent of the fund’s capital.
BlackRock won’t be directly affected by the rule, which applies only to banks. Still, it could have had an impact on prices of hedge fund and private-equity securities, Novick says. BlackRock manages more than $100 billion in alternative investments including hedge funds.
The bill also no longer includes language imposing a fiduciary duty on dealers that enter into swap contracts with public entities like municipalities and public pensions. The measure would have made it impossible for BlackRock and others to offer stable value funds, which are similar to money-market funds and use swaps to ensure liquidity, in retirement accounts.
“There’s still some uncertainty, but overall, we think it’s pretty reasonable,” Novick said about the revised bill.
Other asset managers have hired executives over the past year to deal with the government. Baltimore-based money manager Legg Mason last July hired Kevin Fromer, the former Treasury Assistant Secretary, as a senior adviser.
‘We Ran Really Fast’
As the financial regulation bill makes its way to the president’s desk, Novick has set her sights on new issues. She is concerned about the government’s Home Affordable Modification Program, or HAMP, which breaks with contract law in benefiting second loan holders, which in most cases are banks.
Fink co-founded BlackRock mainly as a fixed-income investor. Novick, who had worked with Fink at New York-based First Boston Corp., came on board to head its account-management group. Other First Boston executives that joined Fink in starting BlackRock were Robert Kapito, now the president of BlackRock, Chief Risk Officer Bennett Golub and Charles Hallac, the head of the firm’s advisory unit.
In 2006, BlackRock expanded its equity business with the purchase of Merrill Lynch & Co.’s money-management unit. In 2008, BlackRock acquired a division of Quellos Group LLC to add hedge-fund assets. Last year, the firm made its biggest acquisition so far with the purchase of Barclays Global Investors, the biggest seller of index-tracking ETFs.
BlackRock now has about 12 percent of its assets in retail mutual funds, about 15 percent in ETFs and the remainder in institutional funds.
Novick said she was thinking of leaving last year without any specific plans, except that she would slow down.
“We ran really fast for 20 years, and I thought I would regroup and explore other ideas,” says Novick. “I ended up staying.”

Most organizations haven't asked themselves the right questions
Because we're known as experts in corporate investigations and security systems, we're often asked for help with our clients' risk management strategies, implementation and follow-up.
The problem is that we're often asked for help once a breach has occurred and the organization has been taken by surprise, whether it's employee fraud, or unauthorized access, or violence in the workplace - management simply wasn't aware of the potential for problems, or didn't think a small problem would escalate.
And when potential problems aren't identified ahead of time, management isn't prepared to respond in a timely fashion, which in turn exacerbates the negative consequences.
So how can organizations get ahead of the game?
It starts with asking the right questions: Making the time to get senior management together and systematically identify the risks the organization faces, how it can respond to those risks, and then putting the right policies, resources and tools in place to protect against them.
What are the right questions? The infographic below, prepared by BDO, provides a good starting point. And while it's entitled '11 questions non-profits should ask', the truth is that it's a good list of questions for any organization that's looking to improve their risk management and readiness.

Irvine Dentist Sam Mogari the leading dentist, said, “We have a number of patients who have not attended for a check-up in some time. We would like to encourage them to return.”
Irvine, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/30/2014 -- Dr Sam Mogari DDS is a highly respected dentist, and owner of the successful Irvine California Practice . He is also the the Clinical Lead Dentist for the Oral Surgery Clinical Assessment and treatment Services Irvine California Practice. He was speaking recently about the need to effectively promote dental services, and encourage patients to return to the dentist’s chair. He is keen to promote the advantages of regular dental care, and the need for check-ups to maintain good oral health.
Dr Sam Mogari DDS was speaking in reference to a recently published article in the Dentistry website which discusses the need to encourage patients to return to the dentist for regular check-ups. The article can be read here.
The article suggests that practices across the country should consider taking the opportunity to consider ways of marketing to existing patients who have not attended the dentist for a long period of time. Dr Sam Mogari DDS said, “Statistics show the importance of regular dental care in maintain oral health. Often people have busy lives and attending the dentist can be forgotten about. My team and I will be developing ways to encourage our patients to return for a check-up. Good oral health is vital to prevent tooth-loss, decay and gum disease. Regular dental checks can help address any issues and keep patients in excellent oral health.”
Dr Sam Mogari DDS has been running his successful practice in Manchester for over 25 years, and he understands that sometimes attending dental checks are not high on patients’ lists of priorities. However, he believes that dentists should do whatever is necessary in order to focus on attracting previous patients back to their practice. He went on to say, “In my experience, all dentists have lapsed patient lists. These lists could contain patients who potentially need our help. I believe it is important that we attempt to encourage our lapsed patients to return for a check-up by contacting them and letting them know about our services.”
Dr Sam Mogari DDS continued by saying, “The article suggests that some practices are hiring marketing specialists to help them encourage patients to return. I am not convinced this is always necessary. For most practices, additional budgets for marketing are not available. Here at Langley we are fortunate. We have an extremely gifted team of administration and support professionals who understand marketing. I will work with my team to develop and implement appropriate ways to reach out to previous patients and encourage them to pay us a visit.”
Dr Sam Mogari DDS closed by saying, “If anyone is interested in returning to Langley for treatment, or if new patients wish to inquire about our treatments, I suggest they contact the practice to make an appointment at a suitable time. We offer a wide range of specialist dental treatments, family dentistry, and we also offer a range of popular cosmetic dental treatments. I would also suggest that interested parties refer to our website which contains detailed information on all the treatments we offer.”
All dental patients who are interested in learning more about the benefits of implant supported dentures are advised to call Irvine Dentist Dr Sam Mogari D.D.S office. Not all patients are good candidates for dental implant surgery in Irvine CA, so an appointment is required to see if you meet the requirements for implant supported dentures.
“We do offer conscious sedation and general anesthesia services for those with high anxiety, extensive treatment, disabilities, or just for the convenience. We use a highly experienced dental anesthesiologist.”

Costa Rica: Drought affects banana exports
The lack of rain in the banana producing areas during January and February of this year led to a fall of 26.81% in the value of these exports and a 23.62% in volume.
According to data from the Foreign Trade Promoter (Procomer) in the first two months of the year, $88 million was accumulated due to the 242,384 metric tons that were exported.
Jorge Sauma, general manager of the National Banana Corporation (Corbana), explained that although the decrease in temperature has also affected some crops, droughts are the main cause for this down fall.
This kind of climate has affected plantations since last year. However, 2011 ended with record exports for the industry: about $803 million.
Banana exports have fallen mainly to European countries like Germany and Sweden, but have been increasing to destinations such as Russia and Spain, according to data from Procomer.

By Gary P Jackson
Anti-abortion protesters were violently attacked outside a late-term abortion mill in Albuquerque, New Mexico, leaving one man, Bud Shaver, a former Operation Rescue intern, with a deep gash in his head. As you see in the video, the attacker used a set of keys as a weapon. There was clear intent to do some major damage by the attacker.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., July 6, 2011 - A woman who claimed to be a supporter of abortion violently attacked peaceful pro-life protesters yesterday outside Southwestern Women’s Options, a late-term abortion clinic in Albuquerque, New Mexico, leaving one protester bleeding.
The woman told the pro-lifers that she had once had an abortion. She then began to punch and kick Bud Shaver, a former Operation Rescue intern, and a woman named Chris. She used keys as a weapon, inflicting a gash on Shaver’s head that paramedics said required stitches.
Shaver, who works with Project Defend Life, began videotaping after the attack began; his footage shows pro-lifers trying to defend themselves from a flurry of punches and kicks. After the attack, the woman walked into the abortion clinic but left a few moments later, driving away before police could respond to Shaver’s 911 call for help.
Shaver told Operation Rescue that the woman was a passerby that stopped, but she did not appear to be a patient of the clinic.
Police and paramedics eventually responded, but the perpetrator was not apprehended. Her description and license plate number were reported to the officers as well as the 911 dispatcher.
"The lax way in which the police are handling acts of violence against pro-lifer who are peacefully exercising their Constitutional Rights and offering practical help to need women is shocking," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "It sends the wrong message that violence on the part of abortion supporters is acceptable. We pray that this troubled woman is brought to justice and gets the help she needs with her anger and grief issues."
The attack occurred just days after Operation Rescue released a 911 recording made from another abortion clinic in Albuquerque, UNM Center for Reproductive Health, where a woman could clearly be heard struggling for life.
Operation Rescue says it has also obtained a series of 911 emergency recordings made from Southwestern Women’s Options where the violent attack took place that clearly indicate life-threatening abortion complications that required emergency hospitalization. OR plans to release the first of these recordings later this week.
The pro-life group asked the public to help protect peaceful pro-life activists by calling the Albuquerque Chief of Police and demanding the arrest of the woman who attacked Shaver and his associates.
Albuquerque Police Chief Ray Schultz
Voice: (505) 768-2200
This is unacceptable on every level, but it shows the mindset of the extreme left in this country. Those in favor of killing babies at will are losing the battle, as surveys show Americans are becoming pro-life, especially younger Americans. America is coming to see the immorality of abortion on demand.
Thanks to dedicated men and women America is also learning just how dangerous abortions can be for the mother too. We are learning of many horrors that for years have been covered up.
So what's a radical leftist to do? Get violent, of course. Just like the union thugs have had violent protests every time there is an attempt at reform, we fully expect we'll see more violence from the pro-abortion zealots. After all, most have already committed an incredibly violent act on their own child. Why would they hesitate to attack someone unknown to them.
I'd like to ask our readers to put pressure on Albuquerque's Police Chief Ray Schultz. Call the phone number above. Hell, shut the phone lines down! Demand they track this violent woman down before she attacks someone else. It's obvious she is unstable and most definitely a threat to herself, and others. She needs help, and her actions demand justice.
I also ask that readers contact Governor Susana Martinez's office and ask that this matter be looked into. The phone number is (505) 476-2200, or you can use the contact form here.
We as Americans cannot allow things like this to stand. The attack was bad enough, but the inactivity by the police is beyond the pale. They have the attack on camera, with the attacker clearly visible, and it seems they even have the attacker's license plate number. This is the sort of thing a good police department could have taken care of within hours of the attack.
Abortion is a disgusting ritual that impassions people on both sides of the debate. That's a good thing, and the American way. Violently attacking those who disagree, is not.
