Holidays can be one of the most dangerous times of year for home fires. All too often, these fires are started by careless cooking or smoking. In many cases alcohol i involved.
Here are a few things you need to do to keep your family safe:
- Stay in the kitchen when cooking.
- Drink responsibly.
- If you smoke, smoke outside.
- Install and test smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and practice your home fire escape plan with all guests and family memebers.
Cooking, smoking and alcohol...a dangerous mix.

By overlapping their networks, an amount of spare spectrum has been made available. Thus, Everything Everywhere gained permission from Ofcom to reuse its 1800MHz spectrum for providing LTE service in sixteen cities across the UK. This has no doubt caused consternation among the Vodafone and O2 who already own 900MHz and 1800MHz spectrum (frequencies on which LTE can operate) but have not yet been given clearance to operate 4G by Ofcom.
Everything Everywhere has already switched 4G/LTE in four cities with twelve more to follow by Christmas (source):
- To follow
Having asked my Twitter followers for evidence of Everything Everywhere activity, I have received some screenshots showing "EE" as the network name. To be clear this is not an indicator of LTE activity, but is showing Everything Everywhere's progress towards replacing the Orange and T-Mobile brands.
Is your smartphone displaying Everything Everywhere service yet and in which part of the country?

Vibrations stem from a behavior that's inherent to all mechanical structures. Under load, all structures slightly deform and act springlike, causing motion to ripple to and fro as energy waffles between kinetic and potential. Vibrations are as complex as these structures they run through, and are an intricate composite of movement, especially rotating motion, where both amplitude and frequency change dynamically with cycling deformations caused by misalignment, play, and impact forces.
In industrial machinery, at higher rpm, mass unbalance can cause vibration that degrades manufacturing quality — and are often mistaken for control problems. For example, unbalanced milling spindles can lead to elliptical cutting tool error hard to distinguish from slide motion errors. Resulting impulses, high speeds, load, and resonance — these are the things that can shake systems to the point of error, or even failure.
Now there are several approaches to dealing with this nonlinear problem: Systematically ensuring that each system component, from motor to interface, is balanced; cutting vibration off at the pass with forgiving couplings; containing it with various damping schemes; and continually adjusting auxiliaries to keep vibrations near an acceptable level.
One common source of vibration in rotary linkages is backlash. Backlash opens connected components up to slamming which propagates through the system, causing micromovements in shafts and attached components, as well as noise, short-lived designs, and detrimental inaccuracies. To illustrate: On gears where backlash is required, heavy loads exaggerate tooth stiffness irregularities and cause varying mesh deflections. These changing deflections then cause transmission errors and a periodic inertial load supplement — a noisy and eventually destructive proposition.
Switching to helical gears is one solution; they're usually better than spur gears at being quiet. Used in everything from automobile transmissions to presses, helical-profile gears create a spiral engagement to soften tooth meshing and minimize noise. “Helical gears have increased contact ratio compared to spur gears, and are less noisy,” explains Georg Bartosch, president of Intech Corp., Closter, N.J.
However, spur gears offer unique simplicity and efficiency. What's the solution if someone includes them in a design for, say, cost savings? To cash in on spur gearing benefits, power train engineers often specify them with reliefs cut into tooth roots and tips. These cuts often reduce transmission error at certain roll angles and loads, but unfortunately, they increase it at others. Approaching the problem with tuning, on the other hand, substantially eliminates mesh stiffness variations under all load conditions. How? With crowning, in which gear teeth are approached as sets of tuning forks. To make them sound better, the gear shapes are tweaked so that the meshes produce pleasant sounds, exact octaves apart.
A different approach is necessary to tackle looseness (backlash) on chains and belts. Here, the component's compliance is sufficient to allow engaging and disengaging. Compensating generally requires the addition of tensioning elements on the slack side. “But newer tensioner types replace multiple tensioning elements with just one part that compensates for three kinds of slack — that from torsion, pivoting, and vibration,” says one source at Lovejoy Inc., Downers Grove, III.
Wedges resist vibration
For shaft/hub connections, pounding out of keyways leads to failure which goes far beyond the keyed component itself. “In fact, it would take books to address all vibration issues, especially because they normally concern not single components but entire systems,” says Gunther Zwick, president of Gerwah Drive Components, Atlanta. Here, frictional locking assemblies and shrink discs do better under vibration and shock. “The worst scenario by far is extreme shock load, for which machine components are not designed,” he adds. “Shock load can damage bearings, couplings, even gearboxes and motors.”
Smaller connections also benefit from wedging to hold fast. Fasteners with standard 60° threads experience vibrational loosening because of the gap between the crest of male and female threads. To combat this problem, a locking fastener from Spiralock Corp., Madison Hts., Mich., adds a 30° wedge ramp at the root of the thread of the standard 60° thread form. Still mating with standard 60° male fasteners, the wedge ramp allows the bolt to spin freely relative to female threads until a clamp load is applied, which improves resistance to vibrational loosening. In dynamic and static testing at Goddard Space Flight Center, for example, the nuts stayed tight even under sine excitation of 24.7 Hz at 2g and random excitation of 20 to 400 Hz at 2g rms.
Isolating with plastics
Besides avoiding vibration generation, another approach is to squelch it. “In shaft-to-shaft connections, many coupling types can produce vibrations when connecting improperly designed or misaligned parts. To address this, servo-insert couplings feature polyurethane spiders between the coupling's hubs to dampen vibrations,” saysZwick.
Plastic cam followers reduce noise in the same way; for example, metal components clinking together on dry-cleaning garment tracks can be incredibly noisy. “While plastic cam followers will reduce noise of a dry-cleaner garment track by 6 to 10 dB by absorbing shock and cushioning the ride, industrial applications require cam followers with precision runout and high load capacity,” says Bartosch. He adds that in addition to significant noise reduction, cam followers with plastic outer races can carry high load.
Similarly, plastic gears absorb energy for noise reduction of 3 to 6 dB. “A gear made of stable, tension-free materials (and not injection molded) reduce noise even further,” says Bartosch. A cast-in metal core reduces thermal expansion of the gear by up to 50% to further increase stability. In practical terms, a stable material allows for tighter backlash and higher quality class gear. For example, using stable plastic gears, a CNC gear hobbing machine can consistently produce AGMA class 11 metal gears.
That said, when plastics are at risk for swelling due to moisture, backlash must be increased to accommodate the dimensional change. “The bigger gap between the teeth of mating gears can produce clicking, especially if the gear speed changes or in stop and go applications,” adds Bartosch.
What if a metal component does its job well, save for its conduction of vibration? “Linear ball bearings exhibit metal-to-metal contact, which allows transference of vibration, and fretting corrosion caused by vibration,” says Ray Stojonic of Pacific Bearing Corp., Rockford, Ill. The area of each ball in contact with the shaft is a small pinpoint, measured in thousandths of an inch. The balls cut through oil and grease film, dent the shafts, and cause metal-to-metal contact with the shaft. “The high load on both makes for high stresses, so that eventually metal particles fret off, accelerate wear, and even cause catastrophic failure,” says Stojonic. There is a solution to this problem, however, by adding a coating to the screw's inner channels. The coating absorbs vibration while still allowing designers to benefit from ballscrew precision. “Teflon-based lamination materials on the aluminum parts absorb vibration and prevent it from transferring through equipment,” Stojonic explains.
Cushioning with fluids
Fluid, a natural cushion, is another tool that can be used in the battle with vibration. Damping modules for pneumatic semiconductor isolation tables, for example, provide good isolation from vibration even at frequencies above 5 Hz. Similarly, oil buffers vibrations running through bearings. Oil-supported clearance in bearings is usually only around 0.1 to 1µm. “But under pressure, oil takes on the properties of a kind of temporary solid, enabling it to separate and protect the rolling elements,” says Lee Culbertson, president of Royal Purple Ltd., Porter, Tex.
Abnormally high vibration signatures — from metal-to-metal contact — appear when oil-film thickness is insufficient to completely separate rolling elements. When that happens, surfaces become damaged, bearing surface roughness increases, and it becomes even more difficult for the oil to separate balls from the race. As the surface damage progresses, the severity of the measured vibrations steadily increase.
One way to address this is with additives that form a chemical film on surfaces, increasing film thickness due to viscosity alone. “The additives are ionic and tenacious, making the oil's film tougher,” Culbertson explains. “Instead of allowing rougher surfaces to self-generate, these lubricants actually promote contacting surfaces into lapping one another,” he adds.
Decoupling and correction
One way to deal with imbalance, as well as isolate shock loads, is with zero-backlash couplings. “These do a good job compensating for a limited amount of vibration resulting from shaft misalignments,” says Zwick. But taking it a step further are safety couplings and torque limiters, widely used to prevent unexpected shock load from transmitting down the drive chain — by interrupting the connection altogether. “For example, nowadays bottlecapping machines are often equipped with magnetic hysteresis couplings that disengage smoothly without producing vibrations that would otherwise affect the service life of the entire machine,” Zwick adds.
Besides disengaging from the vibration source completely, another option is to cancel out vibrations with opposing forcing functions. This is especially effective against vibrations caused by imbalance. The negative effects of imbalance are a function of rotational speed, squared. So consider a machining robot: It must be run at low processing speed or risk overexciting robot arm resonance and moving in a manner not controlled by the primary motion control. “Every mechanic who has been involved with balancing these understands that it is a repetitive process with an undefined number of iterations. But active balancing eliminates ground equipment, and mechanic training,” says Andy Winzenz, of Lord Corp., Cary, N.C.
What is active balancing? The application of forces that literally cancel others causing resonant vibration. Vibration and other sensors provide feedback to adaptive controllers; this sensor information is then used by the controllers to shift balance rings permanently mounted to the rotating machine. Active damping technology takes motion from the primary motion control system's sphere of influence in applications where disturbance forces cause problematic resonant response.
These technologies also calculate when more balance correction is needed than is available from system capacity. At that point the controller warns the operator and indicates the actual correction magnitude and phase angle required to optimally balance say, a rotor. The operator can then schedule maintenance to bring rotor balance back to within active system capacity. Besides on robots, this is handy in the machine-tool industry, where high-speed tools incorporate fast linear slides to yield the full benefits of high-speed machining.
Shock: A belt example
Warped belts, out-of-round sheaves, misalignment — or any combination of these — can also cause shock. It's best to realign sheaves first because it's an easy fix. Once that's done, other causes can be investigated.
“Suppose a belt has a bad seam that makes a lump at one location. Think about what this is going to do,” says L. Robert Pyle, president of Systemaitec Inc., Wichita, Kansas. “Once per revolution of the belt, this lump goes over each sheave. The rise of the belt is going to increase belt tension and put a hard downward force on the sheave. We would expect, then, to find vibration frequency at 1x the belt-pass frequency.” This forcing function's frequency is below shaft-speed spikes. Note, though, that on a loose machine, the small forcing function from a bad seam can excite every harmonic, even out to high frequencies. “But don't get misled by that; always look very carefully at sub-shaft-speed spikes,” advises Pyle. “For example, the rotor speed and the first belt-pass frequency harmonic can appear as one if they're only separated by a few cycles per min.”

Most travelers visiting Agra go to the Taj Mahal and head back not knowing that there is so much more to do in and around this city than just that. On your next trip to Agra, consider going on a river safari on the Chambal River (01 hour drive from Agra). The Chambal River Safari near Agra is no ordinary safari, you're going on a safari (jet motor boats with government recognized trained naturalists, captain and life jackets) on a river which was once the bad-lands of bandits and dacoits (like the wild-wild American West). The bandits are now long gone leaving behind a pristine, wild and 'alive' river eco-system in this part of the country. During the safari you get to see gharials (the extremely endangered fish eating crocodiles), Indian marsh crocodile, 7 species of turtles, several species of rare and migratory birds, hyenas, jackals, jungle cats, various reptiles and the prized one - Indian River Dolphin (if you're lucky).

Staging is the process of finding out how far a cancer has propagated. Your treatment and diagnosis (outlook) rely, to a huge level, on the cancer’s level. The level of a cancer does not change eventually, even if the cancer moves along. A cancer that comes returning or propagates is still known as by the level it was given when it was first discovered and clinically diagnosed, only details about the present level of the cancer is included. An individual keeps the same analysis level, but more details is included to the analysis to describe the present illness position.
There are actually 2 kinds of levels.
- The scientific level is based on the outcomes of the physical examination, biopsies, and picture assessments (CT check out, chest area x-ray, PET check out, etc.),
- If you have surgery treatment, your physician can also figure out a pathologic level, which is based on the same aspects as the scientific level, plus what is discovered as a result of the surgery treatment.
The scientific and pathologic levels may be different in some situations. For example, during surgery treatment the physician may find cancer in an area that did not show up on picture assessments, which might give the cancer a more innovative pathologic level.
Because many sufferers with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer do not have surgery treatment, the scientific level is often used when explaining the level of this cancer. However, when it is available, the pathologic level is likely to be more precise than the scientific level, as it uses the details acquired at surgery treatment.
Making Treatment Choices for Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
After the cancer is discovered and held, your cancer care group will talk about your treatments with you. Based on the level of the illness and other aspects, the primary treatments for individuals with Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) may include:
- Radiation therapy
- Other local treatments
- Targeted therapies
In many situations, more than one of these treatments may be used.
It is essential to take some time to think about your choices. In picking a course of action, one of the most key elements is the level of the cancer. For this reason, it is essential that your physician order all the assessments required to figure out the cancer’s level. Other aspects to consider consist of your overall wellness, the likely adverse reactions of the treatment, and the prospect of treating the illness, increasing life, or reducing symptoms. Age alone should not be a hurdle to treatment. Senior citizens can benefit from treatment as much as young individuals, as long as our wellness is excellent.
When considering your treatments it is often a wise decision to get a second viewpoint, if possible. This may provide you with more details and help you feel more assured about the course of action you have selected. Your physician should not mind that you want to get a second viewpoint. If your physician has done assessments, the outcomes can be sent to the second physician so that you will not have to have them done again.

A Week in Culture: Jesse Moss, Filmmaker
September 8, 2010 | by Jesse Moss
DAY ONE, Solomon Islands
I’m on a flight from Honiara, the capital of the Solomon Islands, to Brisbane, going home after a week long shoot for the World Health Organization. I’m finishing James Michener’s Tales of the South Pacific, which my mother gave me just before I left. It’s a surprisingly good companion, and I return to it every night in my hotel room. On the nightstand next to me is an industrial sized can of Raid bug-spray that comes complimentary with every room in the hotel. They’ve just had elections here, and downstairs by the hotel pool, local pols are as plentiful as the bugs, drinking SolBeer and plotting the political future of the country.
A storm came through the night before, and when I stepped out on my balcony in the morning, I could see, for the first time, an island in the distance. It’s Tulaghi. And the body of water that separates us is called Iron Bottom Sound. It’s the gravesite of a huge number of American and Japanese warships. My wife’s grandfather was in the First Marine Division when they fought here, on Guadalcanal, in 1943. So I feel a strange and distant personal connection to the place.
Filming in the jungle, I see a man with a machete on a forty-foot pole. Jesus Christ. He’s cutting Betel Nut, and chewing it. He smiles at me, a mouthful of stained red teeth. I’m reminded of Michener’s Bloody Mary. I stand under the tree with my camera and pray a betel nut doesn’t fall on my head.
Michener’s book was the basis for the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, which I’ve never seen. I ask my colleague Elsie, a native islander, where Bali H’ai is and she gives me a blank look. I feel like a fool for asking. I stare at the map of the island chain in her office, hoping it will materialize magically, like Tulaghi, while a mechanic tries to repair our rental car. Later, while photographing the boat harbor in Honiara, I suppress a strong urge to book one-way passage on a local freighter to the remote islands of the Western Province.
DAY TWO, Brisbane
The Emporium Hotel, Brisbane. The front desk asks me what paper I want delivered to my room: the Courier Mail or The Australian? “Which one’s conservative,” I ask her. She doesn’t know. “Why don’t we give you both,” she says.
No bug-spray by the bed. I pass out watching an episode of Season 2 of Deadwood. George Hearst is on his way to camp. I’ve spent $70 to download the show. It strikes me as a fortune, but I feel like I’m getting my money’s worth. I’ve fallen under the spell of David Milch’s stylized dialogue.
I read Murdoch’s Australian, with a gory photo of a gangland slaying in Melbourne on the front page. I’m reminded of the photo later when I see David Michod’s brilliant first feature, Animal Kingdom, about a Melboure crime family.
Facing a Brisbane-Sydney-LAX-SFO flight, I wander over to Coaldrakes Bookshop, around the corner. It’s small but well appointed. I spend a deeply pleasurable hour browsing, and end up with Tinkers, by Paul Harding, a 2006 issue of Granta, called “War Zones,” and, Accidental Billionaires, Ben Mezrich’s book about Facebook. In the children’s section, I find a Roald Dahl book for my daughter. It’s about an enormous crocodile who wants to eat a “juicy little child.” She’s four. I wonder if she’s too young for Dahl’s dark sensibility.
I finish the book about Facebook halfway through the flight. Trashy, but entertaining. In the Sydney airport I saw David Kirkpatrick’s book about Facebook – serious journalism, with detailed footnotes. I regret my choice. But there’s no way I’m reading two books about Facebook. An old friend wrote the definitive book about MySpace, which I bought from her at a reading a year ago, intending to give to my father in law, but never did. It’s still sitting behind my desk, neglected, much like MySpace itself.
I watch Deadwood till my laptop craps out. Sleep. When I wakeup, somewhere over the Pacific, frighteningly far from land, I watch the Coen Brothers A Simple Man on the flip-out TV attached to my seat. The bar mitzvah scene is brilliant. The Runaways disappoints. I turn it off half-way through, just as the band is making it big. Kristen Stewart is unconvincing. “Flipping your hair isn’t acting,” I want to shout.
Granta provides diversion, however dated. I read Wendell Steavenson’s article about the Israel invasion of Southern Lebanon in 2006, and Marione Ingram’s memoir of the firebombing of Hamburg. Simon Norfolk’s photos of a militarized Scotland are a revelation. Eerie, scary, beautiful.
I start Tinkers as the plane descends towards LAX.
DAY THREE, Pescadero, California
Pescadero is only 45 minutes from Facebook’s offices on Page Mill Road in Palo Alto. But it feels a century removed. It’s a coastal California farming town, about a mile inland from the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. We’re here here for our annual family pilgrimage to Duarte’s Tavern. Artichoke and green-chile soup, sourdough bread, dungeness crab and olallie-berry pie.
The coastal fog burns off, and the sun peers through. On our way home, we stop by Harley Farms Goat Dairy. The goats are in the pens so we try free samples. On the wall is Mark Doty’s poem, Pescadero:
The little goats like my mouth and fingers,
and one stands up against the wire fence, and taps on the fence board
a hoof made blacker by the dirt of the field,
pushes her mouth forward to my mouth,
so that I can see the smallish squared seeds of her teeth, and the bristle-whiskers
Another clipping on the wall, about “Pie Ranch.” It’s a working farm down the coast that promotes sustainable agricultural practices and educates young people. I recognize the name of the founder. My best friend in 4th Grade. I haven’t spoke with him since 1982. It feels like a rare moment of re-connection that doesn’t involve the internet. I send him a message on Facebook. He doesn’t remember me.
Driving back over the Santa Cruz Mountains in my father-in-law’s car, we listen to the soundtrack to Oklahoma, which my daughter loves. “All the cattle are standing like statues…” She’s developing an early fondness for show-tunes, much to my wife’s chagrin. I think of Neil Young, and my college roommate, who used to shower for hours while listening to “After the Gold Rush.” Neil lives somewhere up here in La Honda with the last hippie holdouts.
More Deadwood. Season 3. Hearst has arrived in camp. Played by Gerald McCraney. I remember him vaguely from 70s TV shows like Simon and Simon. I’m somehow disappointed he’s the great and despicable Hearst. But McCraney quickly wins me over.
Check back tomorrow for the second installment

Former Washington Post reporter Jose Antonio Vargas has written a long piece for The New York Times Magazine declaring that he’s an illegal alien and that he’s created a new advocacy group called Define American (“a project of the Tides Center”) to push for the DREAM Act that would provide permanent residency to illegal aliens brought to America as children.
Vargas, 30, lied to a string of media outlets about his immigration status with a fake driver’s license from Oregon. He came over from the Philippines at age 12. (Vargas told the truth to Post editor Peter Perl, a mentor, but he wouldn’t comment now.) In the Post story on this by Paul Farhi, Post spokeswoman Kris Coratti offered a no-comment on Vargas’s employment at the paper: “We will not comment on individual personnel matters out of respect for the privacy of our employees.”

Learn medical terminology the "quick and easy" way! Corresponding to Quick & Easy Medical Terminology, 6th Edition, by Peggy C. Leonard, BA, MT, MEd, this online course supplements the textbook with interactive exercises, dynamic animations, and narrated slide shows. Information is presented in small segments, making it easier to learn the building blocks of medical terminology. Together with the text, Medical Terminology Online helps you master the basics needed to communicate effectively in the health care environment. Unique! Over 700 drawings and graphics visually reinforce learning with many more illustrations than are included in the textbook. Threaded case studies highlight patients with particular medical conditions, revisiting those patients throughout a module in a real-world application of medical terminology. Interactive exercises are "chunked" throughout each module, helping you recall and recognize medical terms through word building, labeling, spelling, image association, pronunciation, matching, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, and case studies. Medical records activities help you become familiar with entries and terminology in the medical record. End-of-module case studies help you apply medical terminology in real-world situations. Icons alert you to unique elements such as Fast Fact and Learning Links. Glossary of over 5,000 terms offers quick access to definitions along with pronunciations in English and Spanish. Bolded and linked terms connect quickly and easily to definitions and audio pronunciations of terms. Self-mastery quizzes allow you to assess your knowledge at the end of each section to determine your strengths and weaknesses. Self-mastery exams in each module are automatically scored and reported to the instructor. Hypertext links connect you to related online resources for further study. A new design reflects the appearance of the book's latest edition, and includes easier site navigation. Updated content reflects the new information in the textbook. Outcome-based learning includes objectives for each module, with an assessment after each block of content to determine whether you have achieved the desired outcome/objective. Catch That? activities provide review questions plus tutoring through a link to remediation content for incorrect answers. More animations help communicate difficult concepts, with many followed by review activities.

Last fall, we had quite a few weddings back to back at the stunning Wind & Sea Estates in Big Sur, California. And Olivia and Tanner’s Big Sur wedding video is another one of those we felt so privileged to be a part of.
High School Sweethearts
Olivia and Tanner have the story many people wish for, the started dating in high school! As high school sweethearts, their love for each other carried on even after high school was over. And although they were in a committed relationship for over a decade, they decided to make it official last year.
When Olivia and Tanner were on vacation in Cabo San Lucas with some friends, Tanner chose a romantic moment to ask Olivia to be his forever. While they were out exploring the city one day, Tanner asked Olivia to marry him and she said “yes!”
A Dream Big Sur Wedding Video
We asked the couple to share their favorite parts of their wedding day, but Olivia and Tanner couldn’t pick, there were too many! They were so pleased with how everything turned out. Every person played a special role, from vendors to dear friends and family. One highlight worth raving about was the food, crafted by Jamie and the catering team at Sea Stars.
They also had several musicians there that created the perfect energy. Plus, the views from Wind & Sea Estate just can’t be beat. Having their closest friends and family members there to help them celebrate made it, in their words, “the best day ever.”
Part Vacation, Part Wedding, Part Honeymoon
Prior to the wedding, Olivia and Tanner had been vacationing in Monterey and Carmel. Then their family and friends flew in for the wedding. And afterward, the newlyweds continued on their way to honeymoon in Mexico.
When we asked them what it was like working with Adam, Olivia shared, “He [Adam] had such a calm energy and was a very easy going person to be around. I would definitely recommend him!”
We’re so thankful for the opportunity to be a part of your wedding day, you two! Congratulations again, and take care!
Venue: Wind & Sea Estates

Winner of the SmartPak Reining Royalty Contest
The cell phone rings again- third time this afternoon. Sighing, I hit “dismiss call” and went turned back to my computer. Whoever created the phrase “it’s nice to be wanted” obviously did not come up with it on a Monday afternoon, or after cell phones, email addresses, Outlook calendars, and paging systems came into being.
Let’s just say it was a rough day already. Once things were nominally under control and I could look at my inbox without threatening to chew my fingernails off, I checked my voicemail messages. Second message in, I almost dropped the phone. “Hello, this is the marketing manager for SmartPak and we wanted to let you know that you have won our Reining Royalty experience……” Excited beyond belief, I turned the phone off without doing anything with the message. Sudden moment of panic- oh my gosh, did I delete the message? What if it didn’t save? What was her name again? Did I really hear SmartPak?
Instead of acting like a normal human being and checking my messages again, I remembered that the winner was to be announced on Facebook. Quick, log on Facebook…..holy cow, that’s my name….. yup, it’s spelled right and everything…..holy cow, that’s my name……at some point sanity resumes and I realize a) I should probably check that voicemail message again and b)I’m on Facebook at work. After regaining compliance with company policy, I actually sit down with pen and paper this time and check my voicemail messages.
After a very pleasant conversation with the Marketing Manager at SmartPak that details the winning and the overall plan for the weekend, I give into temptation and proceed to bounce around the office like a Jack Russell on Starbucks for the next 30 seconds or so. Reality check- I have class tonight, and my homework isn’t done! Probably not the best timing to be told you win a reining royalty experience (the week before my final exam in economics), but I won’t hold it against SmartPak. Ok, buckle down and get out the calculator…..

In this day and age different types of sports are coming up everywhere. This includes eSports, which combine the technology of 2015 with the competition of traditional sports.
ESPN recently aired a broadcast of colleges competing against each other in “Heroes of the Storm,” which got a quality rating for its channel and time slot. It certainly seems like we’re carving out a niche for these eSports in the future.

Good FOMC eve morning. Busy day today, so this one will be quick! Fed Funds Futures are pricing an 88% probability that the Fed will balk tomorrow. While I ultimately agree that the Fed won’t hike tomorrow, they’ll absolutely jawbone that they’re ready to do so. That type of complacency is just the type of asymmetric risk, I thrive on. Firstly, remember that it’s ultimately the expectation of rate hikes that gets rates all backed up and sends USD higher. As such, Fed inaction will usher in renewed expectations of a future hike. I expect this to manifest itself in a higher probability of a hike at the next meeting, which is September, which is currently being underpriced. That repricing should bring forward/steepen the probability-weighted rate curve. I’m currently expressing this view with $XLU, /ES and /6B puts, that I’ll trade out of immediately following the release of the decision, tomorrow. My gut-check on FX and /ES volatility appears low, and thusly doesn’t warrant hedging with a vol crush carry, so I’ll ride this decision unhedged.
That said, I’ve ridden oil lower over the last weeks to great success. It’s dancing on support at the 43.50 level. I see a retest of 40, but given the repricing risk from FOMC and relatively subdued /CL volatility, I might hedge my short position with holding some OTM calls just through tomorrow.

McCann Enters Nashville Market With Apartment Buy
- Nov 16, 2012
Nashville, Tenn.—McCann Realty Partners has acquired the 366-unit Discovery at Mountain View Apartments in suburban Nashville, Tenn. The buyer didn’t specify a purchase price, but did note that acquisition was funded in part by a seven-year Freddie Mac mortgage loan with a fixed rate of 3.55 percent originated by Jones Lang LaSalle.
According to McCann chief investment officer Brand Inlow, the company believes rents will continue to grow for the next several years, and is actively looking to add more apartments in metro Nashville. “This location is convenient to local employment drivers in downtown Nashville, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Brentwood and the Nashville International Airport,” he adds.
Currently, Nashville enjoys a 4.6 percent apartment vacancy rate, according to Reis Inc., down from 4.8 percent in the second quarter of 2012. Average rents for the third quarter were up 1 percent from the previous quarter.
The deal represents McCann’s entry into the metro Nashville market. McCann has previously acquired properties in other markets in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Texas, and is developing apartment properties in Dallas, Houston and Orlando.
Completed in 2009, Discovery at Mountain View Apartments will be managed by Pegasus Residential LLC. Amenities at the property include a large clubhouse with a fitness center, a resort-style swimming pool and direct-access garages.

The Latin diminutive noun puella and its “sexualization” in Latin lyric and elegiac poetry – Judith P. Hallett (Maryland)
The Oxford Latin Dictionary provides four definitions of the Latin noun puella :
1. a) “A female child, girl” [with examples from Plautus, Terence, Cicero, Horace, Ovid, Tristia 3.12.5 ; the elder Seneca, Petronius, Tacitus, Juvenal, Paulus] and “[with gen. or poss. adj.] b) “a daughter” [examples from Horace, Martial, Gellius].
2. a) A young woman (married or otherwise), girl, maiden” [examples from Plautus, Catullus 2b on Atalanta, Horace, Carmina 3.22.2 ; Tibullus 1.6.15 ; Ovid, Fasti and Epistulae ex Ponto ; Germanicus, Martial, Tacitus, Suetonius, Galba, Apuleius] and b) “applied to nymphs, goddesses” [examples from Vergil, Propertius 184.108.40.206 ; Martial].
3. a) A young woman as an object of sexual interest” [examples from Horace’s Epistulae, Propertius 1.1.5 ; Petronius, Martial, Juvenal] and (spec.) b) “one’s girl, sweetheart” [examples from Catullus 2.1.1, passer deliciae meae puellae ; Tibullus 1. 10. 59 ; Ovid, Ars Amatoria 2 ; Martial]
4. A slave girl [examples from Terence, Horace, Tibullus 1. 3.87 ; Martial, Juvenal]”
The OLD also contains entries on puellaris [“of, befitting, or characteristic of a girl, girlish,” with examples from Ovid, the elder Seneca, Mela, Quintilian, the younger Piny, Juvenal and Martial] ; puellariter [“in a girlish manner”, example from the younger Pliny] ; puellasco[“to become girlish or effeminate”, example from Varro] ; puellitor [“to act like a girl”, example from Laberius] ; puellula [“a young girl or maiden”, examples from Terence, Pomponius, Catullus 57.9 and 61.175 and Sulpicius] ; and puellus [“a. a young boy and b. (in erotic context) a catamite”, with examples from Ennius, Lucilius, Varro, Lucretius, Suetonius, Apuleius and b. Inc. Poetae”]. Of these six words etymologically connected with puella—an adjective, an adverb, two verbs and two nouns—only puellula describes a quality, mode of action, individual or activity associated with mature, sexually active females.
The noun puella is technically the feminine form of the final noun cited above : puellus, a diminutive of puer, “little boy”. It should, for that reason, denote a “sexually immature young girl”, and is frequently used in that sense by the earliest Roman authors who employ it : Plautus and Terence in the early to mid-second century BCE. There it often connotes a young female who is accorded high emotional value.
The comic playwrights most commonly employ puella for newborn babies. When used of older girls, puella usually refers to slave women or sexually inexperienced free-born young women pretending to be sexually experienced, fee-charging, one-client-at-a-time courtesans (meretrices), or in the possession of a leno, a male manager and profiteer from the ownership of female prostitutes.
Yet puella acquires a different and specialized meaning among male Latin lyric and elegiac poets of the mid-first century BCE though the early first century CE : Catullus, Horace, Propertius, Tibullus, Lygdamus, and Ovid. They use it to designate “women whom they depict not only as sexually mature and active, but also emotionally and erotically valued by themselves in their literary roles as poet-speakers and, and as bestowing their erotic favors out of wedlock and apparently free of charge.”
Their female colleague, the Augustan elegist Sulpicia, employs this noun in her poems to characterize herself as both poet-speaker and desirable, affectionately regarded love-object who does not take payment for her erotic favors : see [Tibullus 3.] 8.15 and 24, 10.1 and 11, 11.3, 12.2 and 9, 14.3, 15.1 and 17.1
Puella can also be used as a term for prostitute in Latin. In texts from the late Republic onward, puella rarely occurs in epic poetry and “educated prose.” The “preferred word in educated prose [for a young female child] was uirgo.”
Although Catullus uses puella to describe sexually inexperienced young girls other than his female beloved—in, e.g., 34.2 and 4 (the hymn to Diana)— he more often employs it for his female beloved, and for the female sexual partners of other males.
Catullus’ decision to use puella in this sense may be attributable to its metrical versatility. A first declension trisyllabic noun consisting of a short syllable, a long syllable, and a final syllable that can be either short or long (depending on its case and position), it works well in hendecasyllabic, elegiac, dactylic hexameter, limping iambic and Sapphic verse. Subsequent Latin love poets appear to have adopted this usage of puella from Catullus.
During the Augustan principate, the noun puella seems to have become associated with women, both elite and non-elite, whose sexual conduct transgressed the marriage and moral laws enacted by Augustus in 18-17 BCE.
The association of puellae with sexually transgressive behavior helps account for its use by post-Augustan writers to describe prostitutes. Its negative connotations at this time might also explain why Ovid does not use the word puella to describe young women in two of his elegies from exile that seek to justify his life and exonerate his poetry : Tristia 3.7 (addressed to a young female poet thought to be his stepdaughter) and the autobiographical 4.10 (which mentions the woman called Corinna in Amores). By the time Ovid left Rome, in official disgrace, in 8 CE, puella had become sexualized, and associated with illicit erotic activity.

Suffering and recovering from an eating disorder is a very debilitating and challenging experience. There are various types of eating disorders, usually characterised by significantly restricted eating or over-eating. This can affect daily functioning and distort one’s body image perception. It is important for those who suffer disordered eating to seek professional treatment from physical and mental health professionals. However, the following tips can also assist in beginning the process of returning to a healthier lifestyle:
Eat regular meals
Eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at regular times can prevent feelings of hunger throughout the day, which can in turn reduce the urge to binge eat. It also maintains energy levels throughout the day that are required for work, and having the self-control to maintain a regular eating and exercise pattern. For those who struggle to finish a full meal, even attempting to eat these three meals, whether or not they are completed, can still contribute to lifestyle regularity and provide a regular source of energy.
Eat meals with others
If a person eats alone, they may resort to not finishing the meal or over-eating when no one can see. Also, eating with familiar others can reduce anxiety about eating, as it can reassure you that everyone needs to eat in order to maintain physical functioning. Conversing about topics other than food whilst eating can also be an effective way of reducing anxiety at these times as it removes the focus from food.
Eat healthy food
Highly processed foods tend to release high levels of dopamine into the brain due to their high sugar content and the presence of other artificial ingredients. This makes junk food an addictive substance. Therefore, it is important for those who over-eat and under-eat to eat less processed foods that are nutritious and high in protein, iron, and other vitamins and minerals. They will have positive effects on the body and mind and will make binge eating less likely.
Avoid scales and mirrors
Constantly weighing oneself, and checking one’s reflection in the mirror for fat, is not beneficial for those who suffer eating disorders. Having a constant obsession with weight can be debilitating, especially if it overtakes other aspects of your daily life. Those with eating disorders focused on weight loss tend to believe they are overweight no matter how light they are or what their reflection looks like; and those who over-eat may feel a sense of hopelessness if they constantly focus on how overweight they have become. Avoiding scales and mirrors can help you become more interested and focused on other important parts of life. It is important to recognise that your weight is not your identity.
Keep a thought diary
Keeping a diary of the thoughts and feelings experienced immediately before, during and after an episode of bingeing or purging can help identify what drives these behaviours – usually it has nothing to do with an actual need for food or exercise, and everything to do with how you perceive and judge yourself and your relationship with food.
Exercising regularly can improve your sense of self-esteem, and can also release built-up stress. Though exercise is good for us, remember that too much can have negative effects. Those with Anorexia or Bulimia Nervosa will often exercise excessively, which leads to exhaustion, burnout, muscle strains and other injuries. Try to limit yourself to 30-60 minutes of exercise per day.
Eating disorders are not easily overcome. Seeking help from both physical and mental health professionals can greatly assist with the process, as they can aid you in understanding why you have an eating disorder, what impact it is having on your life and how to overcome it. Remember to be patient, as habits take time to change. It is also important to keep loved ones close by so that you feel supported and encouraged throughout your treatment.

There are some pros and cons to juicing. Some of the pros are that juicing floods your body with great nutrition in a really easy way. You are drinking your nutrients. Your body doesn't have to work hard to get the nutrients out of the fruits and vegetables. So you can actually consume the benefits of more vegetables throughout the day, without having to sit, and eat, and chew, and digest. So people use juicing as a way to fast.
They'll just consume vegetable and fruit juices for several days, up to a couple of weeks, as a way to clean their body, and as a way to get tons of nutrients into their body at the same time. So one of the benefits of juicing is also one of the cons of juicing. One of the benefits of juicing is that you're taking in a lot of nutrients at once, without your digestive system having to do a lot work. But at the same time, you're missing out on all the fiber that's contained in all those fruits and vegetables.
So if you want the benefits from the fiber in the vegetables, as well as the nutrients in the vegetables, try adding some green smoothies to your diet, in addition to the fresh juices. So use a nice green smoothie in the morning that has fruits, as well as some green, leafy vegetables like kale, or collards, or bok choy. Some of the cons of juicing are that it can be very expensive to do this on your own, or to go to a juice bar on a regular basis.
And it's really important to remember when you're juicing fruits and vegetables that you are using organic produce. You want to avoid the highly concentrated pesticides that might be present on the produce if you're not using organics.

Ack, how cute are little kids holding hands? And in snowsuits/pants to boot!
Somehow, I can almost picture the two of them, as old ladies, sitting on a park bench chatting away 80 years from now! Such a great friendship to have at such a young age.
Aww, thanks Ali! That's a lovely image!

DALLAS — Many have seen Facebook posts about GoFundMe campaigns aimed at helping someone or an organization in need. The generosity of people who care about the cause can sometimes be seen in dozens of donations equaling thousands of dollars.
A new GoFundMe campaign called “HELP! The Doctor Spot Is Down!” is experiencing an outpouring of generosity, raising more than $17,000 in its first two weeks online.
The Doctor Spot is a mobile pediatric clinic that offers free health care to children in some of Dallas County’s most medically underserved neighborhoods. For the last four years, the doctor’s office on wheels has traveled around Dallas to help kids who might otherwise not have access to health care--but they’re not so mobile anymore.
In February, an electrical fire took The Doctor Spot out of commission. While the "box" containing the actual clinic escaped damage, the truck's cab and engine compartment were damaged beyond repair.
The mobile clinic would set up in what Marisa-Joy Gingerich calls strategic “hot spots” such as schools, apartment complexes, and in parking lots of shopping centers, just to name a few. Gingerich is a family nurse practitioner with The Doctor Spot and is passionate about the work she does with the project.
“This is a cause I really believe in,” said Gingerich. “The good this operation provides for the community we serve is something I’m very proud to be a part of. We provide crucial care to the children who need it the most.”
The pool of patients Gingerich sees comes from approximately 71,000 uninsured children and 338,000 Medicaid enrollees in Dallas County, according to The Doctor Spot’s website, which also states 25% live below the federal poverty level that exceeds the state and national average.
The Doctor Spot is a service of The LifeSavers Foundation, a 501(c)(3) that aims to help people in crisis through its free mobile medical mission projects for women and children and the community at-large with goods from its resale store.
“Meeting people where they’re at is what we’re all about,” said Andres Pineda, The Doctor Spot’s clinic coordinator who’s helped the project since 2016. “Most of the children we offer services to are uninsured. They can’t just walk into a pediatric clinic and be seen, because they either don’t have insurance or don’t have the money to pay up front.”
While the mobile unit is out of service, Gingerich and Pineda operate a temporary clinic inside the Inspired Vision Compassion Center (IVCC), a food bank and resource center in the Dallas community of Pleasant Grove. The center has been a source of relief for food insecure families during the pandemic.
“These are people who really care about these kids,” said Dr. Teadran White, CEO of IVCC. “We’re so excited to have them join our mission in helping those without in our community.”
While they were traveling, the unit would park at the center’s parking lot one day a week at 2019 N Masters Dr. Dallas, TX, 75217.
“We see on average 10 patients a day,” said Gingerich. “When they come in, we give them our full attention.”
The LifeSavers Foundation has plans to partner with White to open a permanent second location inside IVCC to be completed later this year. Those plans were rushed when the mobile clinic lost mobility. White has welcomed the makeshift clinic with open arms ahead of schedule.
The temporary clinic offers a basic sick check when their visitors aren’t feeling well, suffering from sore throats, nausea, fever, earache, and headache. Strep infections, flu, virus symptoms are some of the illnesses diagnosed and treated on site.
Medication prescriptions, obesity screenings, sports qualifying physical examinations, and X-rays are some of the services offered all for free at The Doctor Spot. Immunizations offered include Diphtheria/Tetanus/Pertussis, Hepatitis A and B, Measles/Mumps/Rubella (MMR), and Human Papillomavirus (HPV), just to name a few.
Although they’re keeping busy, Gingerich and Pineda worry they’re inability to be mobile is putting a strain on the kids in locations they previously normally served.
“With more than 122,000 uninsured children in Dallas County, it's critical to get our mobile clinic back up and running as soon as possible,” said Pineda.
“Until The Doctor Spot is back up and running, thousands of uninsured children face the very real possibility of having to miss school, end up in the ER, or battle an illness that could have been avoided with accessible or preventive medical care,” said Gingerich.
To get The Doctor Spot back in service will cost approximately $54,000. Although the The LifeSavers Foundation said they have insurance, they fear the settlement could take months. They promise if the insurance claim is settled, any excess funds received will be used to assist in the commission of a second mobile clinic and ongoing operations.
“All of which will enable us to provide free services to thousands more children each year,” said Gingerich.
The Doctor Spot Mobile Clinic will be seeing all patients inside the IVCC Monday/Wednesday 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Tuesday/Thursday 8:30 a.m. - 4 p.m. For more information, visit their website.

Training failure implicated in fatal raid
CONCERNS about the readiness of Australian troops involved in a bungled raid in which six people died were expressed before they were deployed to Afghanistan.
Australian Defence Force sources have told the Herald that the reservist commandos, some of whom serve as special operations police in NSW and Victoria, were still in Australia when senior officers were warned that they were insufficiently trained.
It is also believed that members of the commando company were disciplined for at least two separate offences during their tour of Afghanistan.
The family of the six victims, which included four children, an adolescent and an adult, told SBS's Dateline that the troops burst into their compound in the small hours of the morning in February last year and attacked with machine-guns and grenades.
It is understood that Defence investigators have raised serious concerns about whether the soldiers followed the rules of engagement relating to night-time raids and the use of grenades.
Witnesses and the family of the victims have accused the Australians of shooting without identifying targets and then admitting they were in the wrong compound.
One of the women present on the night told SBS the troops said they were searching for the Taliban leader Mullah Noorullah. Three months after the raid, Defence issued a press release saying Mullah Noorullah had been killed by special forces ''in a targeted operation''.
Defence sources have told the Herald that the troops were at a different compound on the morning of the attack, before being ordered by their commanding officer to move to the compound at which the killings took place.
The commandos are understood to have said they were shot at from the compound but the Herald has been told video footage taken by unmanned aircraft could show what happened before the killings.
Two reservist commandos, Private Greg Sher and Lieutenant Michael Fussell, had been killed in the four months before the attack on the compound in the southern province of Oruzgan.
An inquiry into the death of Lieutenant Fussell, who was killed by a roadside bomb in November 2008, was strongly critical of the training and leadership of 1 Commando Company, which was involved in the attack on the compound.
The investigation by the former chief of the navy, Vice-Admiral Chris Ritchie, found the risk of the unit suffering casualties in Afghanistan was increased by deficiencies in training, assessment, certification and leadership. The major in charge of the unit was relieved of his command as a result of the investigation, but doubts over the major's abilities were not passed on to high command before the unit left for Afghanistan.
The report found there was a belief that deficiencies in training could be rectified when the troops reached Afghanistan.

Many of my patients comment that they are looking for more natural and holistic alternatives to their health care needs these days. Natural, hands on approaches, such as chiropractic, provide many of the benefits people look for. These benefits come without the use of drugs or surgery.
This article is designed to help you understand a little more about chiropractic care and how My Back Relief Clinic may help you.
What is Chiropractic Care?
You may already know that chiropractic is a ‘hands on’ approach to health that commonly tackles back pain issues. While that is true, there are also many other areas of concern that chiropractors help with.
Disc and nerve pain
Arthritis and joint pain
Pregnancy joint pain
Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal and postural alignment to address a range of physical ailments that affect your spine, muscles and nerves.
These ailments commonly include muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and the other points listed above.
This is accomplished by using chiropractic adjustments that aim to restore more normal posture along the spinal column. The adjustments also help to increase your joint range of motion, flexibility and balance.
Australian chiropractors are university trained and government regulated. They are also required to undertake ongoing professional development to ensure they keep up-to-date with industry best practice.
At the core of the work chiropractors do is assess and diagnose spinal and musculoskeletal problems.

UPDATED: Man Claiming Allegiance to Occupy Pittsburgh Crashes Stolen SUV Through PNC Building
UPDATE: WTAE reports that details of the original story are contradicted by the official police report:
Sources told Channel 4 Action News that, as the driver left the crash scene Tuesday afternoon, he told someone that he was with Occupy Pittsburgh and said there might be an explosive device inside the vehicle. But police said they've determined none of that to be true. They said McGee suffered a medical problem that gave him a coughing fit which caused him to lose control of the vehicle.
"There was speculation. We certainly wanted to check into that, in the current climate of what's going on at the camp in downtown Pittsburgh, but we have no information -- no evidence whatsoever -- to relate this to Occupy Pittsburgh," Lt. Kevin Kraus said.
More details here and here. The original post continues below:
A middle-aged man claiming to be with Occupy Pittsburgh has turned himself in to authorities after allegedly driving a stolen sport utility vehicle up the front steps and crashing it into the front entrance of a downtown PNC Firstside Center building yesterday afternoon. Richard McGee, 67, called Allegheny County Sheriff William P. Mullen today after hearing police wanted to speak with him about the incident, then showed up at the sheriff`s office in the Allegheny County Courthouse to turn himself in.
More images from WTAE
From WTAE in Pittsburgh:
Pittsburgh police are questioning a man who they think drove an SUV up the front steps of the downtown PNC Firstside Center on purpose and hit the entrance of the building during work hours. [...]
Sources told Channel 4 Action News that, as the driver of the Hyundai Santa Fe fled the crash scene Tuesday afternoon, he claimed to be with Occupy Pittsburgh and said there might be an explosive device inside the vehicle.
View Video at WTAE.com.
The incident prompted police to call a bomb squad unit to investigate. WTAE reports that no explosives were found.
Employees in the building indicated that there is also a child care facility on the premises. A PNC spokeswoman said that the facility has since been moved to the other side of the building.
Only a handful of Occupy protesters remained at their camp nearby at the BNY Mellon Green lawn after an Allegheny County Judge ordered the protesters to be out of the park by Monday. Most left voluntarily, but just under a dozen remained on Monday, prompting the judge to issue an emergency order instructing police to remove lingering Occupy campers from the property. They told Channel 4 Action News that "they had no knowledge of the PNC crash and were not involved with it."
Ironically, the PNC Firstside Center building is hailed by labor unions and environmentalists in the Blue Green Alliance coalition as a model for collaborative environmentally friendly development. The PNC Firstside Center building is Leed Silver Certified and is one of over 40 certified green buildings PNC owns. WTAE reported in 2008 that this number was more than any other corporation in the world.
There are no further details available at this time as to whether or not McGee's claim to be with Occupy Pittsburgh is true. Police indicate that charges against him will include recklessly endangering another person and driving without a license.

A new Android device called the Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus has gone official on the Samsung website. The smartphone runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread and has a 3.65-inch HVGA resolution TFT screen. The screen resolution of 320x480 is a lot lower than some of the high-end phones on the market today, but the upside is that the Galaxy Ace Plus should be much cheaper than some of those other devices.
The smartphone has a 1GHz processor inside and packs in a 5MP rear camera with autofocus and LED flash. The smartphone supports WVGA video recording and playback at 30 frames per second and supports common audio file formats. The phone has Samsung TouchWiz over the top of the OS. The Ace Plus supports HSDPA 7.2Mbps 900/2100 and EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 networks.
The Ace plus also has A-GPS, Bluetooth, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, and accelerometer, digital compass, and a proximity sensor. Internal storage is 3GB, and the phone has 512MB of RAM and a microSD card slot for up to 32GB of additional storage. The battery is a 1,300 mAh unit. The official price is unknown.

The mall management is under pressure to make money from these empty locations. What if you were a tough negotiator with a creative idea or Spectrum Mall Could you make a profit? Get “fresh, just out of the oven” ideas here!
I owned a large real estate office.
I sold it recently. We had a mall cart which our real estate agents would “man” by reserving time on the schedule. Every other company in the area wanted that mall cart-kiosk, but we had an exclusive agreement with the mall management. Our total cost to lease and maintain it was $2,300. At the top of the R.E. boom, we had 140 agents, each paying $35 to help support the mall location. We were down to 80 agents at the time we sold the office. My point is, what I’m proposing below is rooted in reality – people will pay for a chance stand at your kiosk.
Occasionally, our agent who was scheduled, would show up late for their 3 hour shift, only to find a real estate agent from another office manning the location (sneaking a “freebie”).. Why? Because our mall cart-kiosk generated about 2 good leads an hour, on the average.
Here are several ideas from the above true story:
A. Set the mall cart or kiosk up so it has a traditional real estate yard post with a hanging sign.
Each of your “subscribers” would place their real estate sign on the post when they were at the cart-kiosk. Use a big screen TV on each side. Arrange with a computer-tech to produce a DVD every couple of weeks of the “hot deals” from the MLS, so that they rotate across the screen (the photo from the listing, the price, size, age of each).
Sell local agents time at the mall cart-kiosk by the hour. For example, The mall cart may cost you $1,500 a month (some will be more and some will be less). You may have about 224 “viable hours” to sell. What would you have to get for each hour to have this make sense? If you charged $16 an hour (you can get more in areas where the mall cart-kiosk rental is higher because the real estate commissions will be higher on home sales as well) your total gross would be 224 hours x $16 = $3,360, and a net income of about $1,500 for you. Why would this work? Because an agent can easily clear over $3,000 from just one lead! And these are really good leads because of the face to face contact – these leads make internet leads look “stupid” from an ROI (return on investment) view.
B. If your mall has a real estate cart or kiosk and won’t allow another?
Consider a mall cart of kiosk of similar design, but adapted for the trades. Plumbers, electricians, handy persons, and the list goes on of small business people who need exposure and business!
C. Life insurance sales at a mall cart-kiosk?
Life insurance sales are way down with the economy. However, people need it, if only to bury their deceased loved ones. At least one company gives away a $50,000 death benefit as a “loss leader” and others will probably use similar tactics soon. You could enlist a list of insurance sales people for your cart.
D. Small device repair mall cart-kiosk?
Imagine a mall cart or kiosk which featured a Laptop Repair Person every Wednesday, an iPhone Repair Person every Thursday, and a big screen repair and home theatre installer every Friday – and of course, others to fill in the week, sticking with the “Device Repair” theme.
E. What about static or “small screen” ads along the above themes for your mall cart-kiosk?
Flat screens are now dirt cheap. Imagine a mall cart or kiosk covered with many small flat screen DVD players, like 10″ x 9″, each with a nice brochure box next to it. You would sell time by the month in which the loop DVD of your customer would play on a particular flat screen (no sound). Potential customers would be able to view a short video clip with a lettered message on the screen, and they could then take a brochure.
Another way to do it would be with two or four large fixed screens with rotating messages. 100 subscribers or customers for your mall cart kiosk could each pay $25 to $125 per month, each. Why would this work? A short classified ad in a “throw-away” newspaper can run $100 a week!

When I set out to write my series on the Credo of a True Group Member, I promised myself I would spend a straight week writing about LRH tech and not get distracted by any Marty Rathbun fuckery. But then he posted Life After Death and the Scientology Axioms, and it’s so farging funny that I just… can’t… help… myself!
Here’s the gist of the post: Marty starts off with a few of LRH’s “Axioms” – I’ll get to those in a minute – and then cites a pair of articles by Robert Lanza as evidence that LRH was right. Robert Lanza is an acclaimed doctor who has made great strides in the field of stem cell research. He is also a proponent of “biocentrism,” the theory that biology is the highest of the sciences and that the presence of life is what brought the universe into existence, and not the other way around. It’s a belief that loosely aligns with LRH’s idea that “thetans” (spirits) “postulate” the universe into existence.
Marty links to two of Lanza’s articles, Does the Soul Exist? Evidence Says Yes and Is Death An Illusion? Evidence Suggests Death Isn’t The End. (If Dr. Lanza owned L. Ron Hubbard’s album The Road To Freedom, he’d know that “Death is only an invention.”) Here’s the over-simplified version: Since what we experience of the world around us (sights, sounds, smells, etc.) is actually our brain’s interpretation of stimuli, and since experiments seem to indicate that the act of observing an experiment affects the outcome, then the universe around us is actually our own creation; and since fields like quantum physics have shown that many of our scientific theories break down at a certain level, science is wrong about the nature of life and all bets are off. Dr. Lanza’s opinions have met with mixed reactions; personally, I think they’re a bit too simplistic, indicative of the human need to come to firm conclusions rather than accepting that there are things we can’t quite understand. (It’s the same phenomenon that leads to our belief in God.)
Anyway, back to Marty, who uses these two controversial articles as proof that science is finally catching up to Hubbard. Wait, let me use his own words, because the jab at the organized Church makes them even funnier:
“Is it not a travesty that corporate Scientologists would be burned at the stake (figuratively) if they were to dare to even take a peek at such a magazine? Is it not a travesty that Scientology Inc is busy using the billions you have donated to them to stage public demonstrations of their flat earth mentality while science catches up with L Ron Hubbard?”
Lesson learned: Do not drink soda while reading Marty’s blog. My nostrils still hurt.
(Marty’s “burned at the stake” comment stems from the fact that the articles appeared in Psychology Today, which Scientologists are about as likely to read as Pedophelia Today. Shame, though, since Scientologists usually grab right onto anything that purports to prove Hubbard right. That said, given the scientific community’s mixed reactions to Lanza’s biocentrist theories, the Church might be smart enough to think twice about casting their lot with him.)
Marty’s evidence is the first ten of Hubbard’s “Axioms” (if you don’t want to read them on Marty’s site or a Church site, here they are in PDF). The Co$ says the Axioms are “truths which are proven by all of life and which represent the most succinct distillation of wisdom regarding the nature of the human spirit.”
In fact, they are made-up baloney that rely on a) careful redefinition of words and b) the utter certainty that Hubbard knew what he was talking about, and wasn’t just a blowhard who couldn’t tell an ion from an eon.
Let’s look at a couple of examples:
“AXIOM 1. LIFE IS BASICALLY A STATIC. Definition: a Life Static has no mass, no motion, no wavelength, no location in space or in time. It has the ability to postulate and to perceive.”
One could spend hours arguing the intellectual merit of this. (A jellyfish has no brain; it can perceive but probably not postulate. So does it lack a life spirit? Or is each jellyfish inhabited by the spirit of some poor fucknob who meant to inhabit the body of a dolphin, but missed?) However, to accept this as a “truth” is completely and totally absurd. There is no proof and no way to prove it. But that doesn’t matter to Scientologists, who accept what Hubbard says as fact.
“AXIOM 4. SPACE IS A VIEWPOINT OF DIMENSION.”
Not according to Webster’s dictionary it isn’t. It amazes me how a man so obsessed with dictionary definitions was so willing to abandon them when it suited his purposes to do so. Scientologists do the same thing; tell them LRH was a fraud, and they’ll whip out their dictionary, look up “fraud,” and explain why, even if Scn is a scam, LRH isn’t, by definition, a fraud. But give them something ridiculous like “Space is a viewpoint of dimension” and they’ll buy it without question. Unfuckingbelievable.
“AXIOM 9. CHANGE IS THE PRIMARY MANIFESTATION OF TIME.”
Sounds legitimate and defensible. But there are a host of other theories about time, and ironically, both of the Lanza articles Marty mentions cite an argument, based on an experiment, that time is more liquid than we thought, and that change can occur irrespective of time. But I don’t want to get into an intellectual debate, because that is another Scientology tactic: Argue the minutiae of something until your audience’s brain turns to mush and they just accept it, assuming that the reason Hubbard’s arguments make no sense is because Hubbard is smart and they are stupid. (Considering they’ve probably just paid $1,000 for a “course” that involves screaming at ashtrays, they might be right.)
“AXIOM 10. THE HIGHEST PURPOSE IN THIS UNIVERSE IS THE CREATION OF AN EFFECT.”
I love this one, because after nine axioms that can be explained away, Hubbard drops in this non-sequitor. I’m tempted to say that I could just as easily claim that “THE HIGHEST PURPOSE IN THIS UNIVERSE IS THE CREATION OF A PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH,” but Hubbard apologists will dismiss that as a “glib” non-argument. Fair point, so let’s try this:
I would argue that since Hubbard’s axioms say that change is the primary manifestation of time, and a change in relative position of particles is a natural occurrence, then the creation of an effect is not the highest purpose, since effects are a by-product of the passage of time. A higher purpose would be to impose one’s own order on the universe – to stop the effects of time. So I would say that the highest purpose in the universe is the cessation of an effect.
That makes sense, right?
Of course it fucking doesn’t. I made it up without the slightest bit of thought. But because I can talk my way around it, it seems to make sense. I always talk about Scientologists mistaking verbosity for intelligence. There we are, I’ve just made it work for myself. (Give me a grand and I’ll give you an ashtray to scream at.)
Let’s get back to Marty’s premise: The fact that someone wrote an article in 2011 that happens to correspond with some of Hubbard’s writings does not lend even the slightest shred of legitimacy to his theories, let alone prove the absurd idea that science is “catching up” to L. Ron Hubbard. Both Lanza’s and Hubbard’s theories are questionable, and Hubbard wasn’t the first one to think of them, although he would like his followers to think he was.
That said, I will accept that science is catching up to L. Ron Hubbard when they prove the following theories, which you can hear in Hubbard’s own words:

Words By: Gabrielle Nicole Pharms
I haven’t had the pleasure of attending any of the HARD Festival sets in Los Angeles, but from what I’ve seen via video makes me envious of the attendees.
What does the aforesaid statement have to do with the Electric Zoo DJ featured? Destructo founded the HARD Festival in 2007 and it has kept its bass thumping momentum ever since. Gary Richards is Destructo, a LA-based DJ/producer who has wooed crowds at sets alongside Fatboy Slim and Rusko just to name a couple. He got his start in the early ‘90s in L.A.’s underground EDM scene. Below is the track that served as an inspirational catalyst to Destructo’s career as a DJ.
British electro trio, 808 State created the video for “Cubik” in 1990.

I don't know if 2.3.7 is planned for Xperia arc. I have not seen any information saying it is - but that can of course change.
For all I know, the next software for arc is ICS (planned for late April/early May).

At last week's Telco 2.0 summit in London, I crossed swords with financial analyst Richard Kramer of Arete Research.
He has a view that the PC industry (and specifically laptops) has failed to innovate for much of the last 10-20 years, and will be overturned by newcomers, particularly Apple's iPad and more generally a new wave of tablet-style competitors. He was less definitive about the role of telcos in supporting these devices, but definitely felt that they represented a step change in how people engage with the web and various forms of content. He singled out the newspaper and magazine industry as being a prime candidate for iPad-isation in similar fashion to the iPod and music.
I disagree strongly. I believe that the iPad is a side-show, albeit a glamorous one. I also have extremely grave doubts about the massmarket viability of next-generation tablets (or MIDs, or smartbooks or mobile computers etc) based on Android, Meego or Chome OS. I'm even less sanguine about the possibility that there could be a telecom operator model underpinning those ecosystems.
My belief is that the PC industry is guilty not so much of a lack of innovation, but a lack of cohesive marketing strategy. There is no "Windows PC Community" estimating the incremental GDP arising in the developing world from PC-based Internet access and software industries. There is no glossy marketing pointing out that sharks haven't bothered evolving for 300 million years, because they are essentially perfect for their niche.
Instead, the PC industry has gleefully taken the GSMA's shilling, hoping for a few extra crumbs of operator subsidy and extra retail outlets during the recession. At the time when banks and credit card companies were taking a dim view of incremental consumer purchases, mobile operators cleverly managed to disguise loans under the guise of "free" laptops. They have been complicit in pretending that "embedded 3G" was going to be pervasive, despite knowing full-well that most netbooks are sold through ordinary channels to people wanting a cheap PC for use on WiFi at home or in school, or clogging up the 3G networks with commodity traffic supplied via commodity dongles.
Let me switch to the iPad, and by extension other tabletty-type computers that might come next.
Yes, it's pretty. Yes, it's sold to quite a lot of the usual star-struck Apple-istas already. Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of uses for it. But there are plenty of uses for many cool gadgets which make them appealing to gadget-lovers. And I guarantee that every single one of them will own (a) a mobile phone and (b) a computer (PC or Mac) already, and wouldn't give them up if you paid them.
You'll notice that the iPad has been cleverly positioned by Apple so as to avoid any risk of competition with its Mac range. Jobs clearly believes that people will want a fully-open computer as well as at least one locked-down device. How many Macs would he sell, if he prohibited them from running Flash? Or only allowed apps or content that had been vetted by his censorship team? Or restricted the use of external media like SD cards?
Now, I certainly can't blame Apple for trying to create a potential new pool of profit from a cool gadget betwixt Computer and Smartphone. If it takes surplus cash away from people who'd otherwise be buying electric can-openers or new TVs, then fair enough.
But to claim (as some people do) that it either:
- a) renders netbooks and laptops obsolete, or
- b) heralds a mass switch-over from print media
sounds ridiculous to me.
Yes, netbooks are *mostly* used for web-based applications [such as my writing this post on my Samsung], but I definitely want a full suite of native applications as well, which I choose and install myself, not subject to the vagaries of Apple's appstore. I cannot imagine myself with an iPad writing this - with my email, streaming music, Skype and Yahoo Messenger running in the background, working on a number of office files as well.
Now that doesn't mean that I couldn't ever use an iPad myself as well - I already browse the web a fair amount on my iPhone, even though my netbook is just downstairs. So there is an argument that Internet usage will become more segmented by task type. If I want to move pictures from my camera to my hard drive, and selctively upload a few to Facebook, I'll use my desktop. If I'm on a plane, I'll use the netbook. If I'm in bed and want to check my email and overnight SMS's first thing in the morning, the phone.
So maybe it's a device for the 10-20% of Internet usage time when you don't have anything else to hand.
The print media thing is a bit different, and clearly is outside my main domain of industry coverage. And I understand that there's a whole world of pain in that industry at the moment. But I'm unconvinced the iPad is the answer for more than a tiny fraction of readers. I buy a fair number of magazines, a fair number of books, and I read a fair number of newspapers (some of them free and disposable, like London's Evening Standard). I'm expert at folding them to read on the Tube. I usually have reading material for flights. I've got a stack of old Wired magazines around home, and a few copies of Top Gear for anyone desperately in need of reading material in my bathroom. I have a bookcase full of Lonely Planets and Rough Guides - my traveller's equivalent of a trophy cabinet.
Yet I don't have a Kindle, nor have I seriously considered getting an e-reader. I've only ever seen three people with them in London, one of them a semi-famous TV celebrity who was in my local Starbucks, hoping people would first notice it and then recognise him.
I simply cannot see a situation where a large bulk of the world's readers of the FT or Cosmopolitan or Harry Potter go digital *in substitution* of their usual print media. It's not like music, for which the move from CD to MP3 reduced the fallibility and bulk of moving parts, and for which headphones insulate you from the vagaries of the environment. People read in places with no power, bright light, risk of theft, or where comfort and tactility are all part of the experience (armchair + book + whisky, or cafe + cappucino + newspaper in the sunshine). They may want to avoid carrying a bag - or baulk at the need to carry both tablet and PC together.
I can understand the appeal of interactiveness of a connected tablet for media owners and their advertisers. But I am just unconvinced that the user experience and intangible benefits of print has been given as much thought.
In summary, I can see a market for iPad-type devices of a similar scale to (say) personal navigation devices - maybe a worldwide target audience of perhaps 50m people. There are some fascinating niches - perhaps education, or gaming, or a few video applications. But I cannot see them replacing PCs (or Macs or netbooks), nor making a meaningful dent in the consumption of newspapers opr magazines. And outside a few metropolitan hotspots, I can't seem them heavily impacting operators' revenues or their networks either.

|If it's there all the time, it probably can't be anything other than the LCD display's circuits are damaged. Driver problems don't cause single lines.|
You could try connecting a monitor to your VGA port, but it's likely the video on that will be fine.
See response 1:
See your Owner's or User's manual for your model to see if there is a key or key combo you need to press to enable the VGA port to enable a display.
E.g. I found this on the web....
"On Toshiba laptops you can toggle between internal and external screens using Fn+F5 keys. Hold down Fn and press on F5 until you get video on the external monitor.
On IBM laptops use Fn+F7.
On HP laptops use Fn+F4.
It’s possible that you have to use a different key combination on your laptop but you get the idea.
On some laptops, in order to be able to use the external monitor, you have to connect it to the laptop and then restart the laptop so the external monitor is detected by the laptop."
NOTE - monitor video cables are NOT "hot-pluggable". DO NOT unplug them or plug them in while the computer is running !

I love Easter because it brings back childhood memories of hand-smocked dresses made by my grandmother, pastel bows on big baskets, hand-colored, hard-boiled eggs and bright plastic eggs filled with wonderful surprises for my siblings and me: maybe coins, maybe toys, maybe movie passes, maybe candy-coated chocolate eggs.
On Easter Sunday, my family wakes up early, heads to church and comes home for an egg hunt in the yard and a meal of Thanksgiving Day proportions.
Central Indiana is home to so many egg hunts and springtime celebrations that it would be impossible to attend all of them, but it seems you can find one for every interest.
Here are some choices that my kids love or that we'll be checking out this year. All events listed are free unless otherwise noted.
Indoor egg hunts
Danville Public Library, 101 S. Indiana St., invites children ages 2-9 to hunt for eggs within the bookstacks beginning at 10 a.m. April 12.
Post Road Christian Church Eggstravaganza, 1112 N. Post Road, takes place inside and outside. The event will include pony rides and an illusionist show. The fun begins at 10 a.m. April 19.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway's enthusiasm for speed will inspire kids to race for as many eggs as they can collect April 19 at 10 a.m. Pre-register kids 12 and younger at indianapolismotorspeedway.com/kidsclub.
Piney Acres Farm, 1115 E. 1000 N., Fortville, will host an egg hunt ($7) and a breakfast with the Easter Bunny ($5). Your kids won't want to miss out on the Farm Babies Observatory, a space where they can play with baby chicks and bunnies. Also available: make-and-take crafts, an obstacle course, family competitions and the acre-wide egg hunt.
If you've never seen thousands of brightly colored plastic eggs fall out of the sky from a helicopter, there are two places to watch this happen. On April 19, Westside Church of the Nazarene, 8610 W. 10th St., invites the public for a 10 a.m. drop that includes concessions, games and inflatables.
Also on April 19, residents of Westfield are invited to join Imagine Church at Washington Woods Elementary School, 17950 Grassy Branch Road, Westfield, for their annual egg drop at 10 a.m. Pre-registration is required, and space is limited. westfieldeggdrop.com.
Plainfield Recreation and Aquatic Center's annual underwater egg hunt will take place April 19 with bunny photos beginning at 10 a.m. Children will be placed into age-appropriate groups for the hunt, and open swimming will take place until 1 p.m. following the event.
Freedom Quest Tours will give away more than 300 Easter baskets on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning at noon April 19 at Douglass Park, 1616 E. 25th St. One lucky adult will win an all-expense paid trip for two to New York with Freedom Quest Tour Co.
Danville Parks and Recreation and the Kiwanis Club will combine two events at Ellis Park, 600 E. Main St.; egg hunt festivities and bunny photos will begin at 1:30 p.m. April 19, followed by a rubber ducky race. If your kids haven't been to a rubber ducky race, it's slow-paced but fun!
Don't forget to bring your own basket or bag to collect eggs and prizes. Check with organizers to find out if parents are allowed to assist younger children during the event.

«Return to Blog List Cremation and Why Many Ashes are Never Scattered
It is not uncommon for many families who choose cremation to be undecided about what to do with their loved one’s ashes. Perhaps the deceased never specified there preference. A common default answer to the funeral director’s question about what will be done with the ashes is “I think we’ll scatter the ashes” because it buys the family time to figure it out. Surprisingly, according to recent studies about half of all cremated remains end up in the closet or on a garage shelf. Typically it is not for a lack of desire rather timidity in making sure to do the right thing. Common questions and concerns that can cause anxiety are: Is it legal? Is this the place that the loved one would have desired? Maybe a permanent place with a memorial would make more sense for the family? I feel uncomfortable with doing the scattering. Maybe we should send them back to the family cemetery?
All of these doubts are normal concerns because the act of scattering is so permanent. This uncertainty naturally causes the surviving family member to set the ashes aside with the idea of making a future decision. Scattering offers the romantic sentiment of the ashes being returned to nature. What many people don’t realize is that the ashes are really not ashes, rather, bone fragments that are the remaining carbon from the body after thee cremation. For this reason, when the family picks up the cremated remains they are often surprised by the weight and quantity of the cremated remains. Ultimately, many families are reluctant to scatter because they instinctively do not want a permanent separation. There is a nagging emotional feeling of total separation or no future place to visit.
For all these reasons the family should always carefully seek professional advice before making a final decision. The reality that there is never closure for many people is the lasting legacy of ashes being “stored” forever, forgotten in a closet. We have all heard the common stories of boxes of ashes that are found in storage sheds or discovered years or decades later. Final disposition of the body does not take place until the ashes are disposed of in a respectful manner in a well thought out place that takes into consideration both the short term and long term needs of the survivors.

Deep Media Lead Nurturing
Think Outside the Inbox
Recently introduced by inSegment, Deep Media Nurturing is a best-of-breed lead nurturing solution. Lead nurturing is a critical component of any B2B or higher education marketing campaign so why limit it just to email? Your marketing automation platform may not be enough.
If your lead scores are low and email automation simply isn’t cutting it, please request a free consultation and improve your pipeline.
Omni-Channel Lead Nurturing
If you subscribe to a system like Hubspot, Marketo, or Pardot, just to name a few, for your marketing automation, you are probably leaving sales-qualified leads on the table. These platforms are all focused on e-mail nurturing. While e-mail automation is nice, four out of five marketers say their email open rates don’t exceed 20%. Four out of five leads are dying on the vine!
One channel simply isn’t enough. That’s why we developed our Deep Media
Nurturing solution, which includes:
Search – paid search ads targeted based on email address and keyword
Social – Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn
Premium Programmatic Display – banners targeted by email address
Dynamic Retargeting – creative shown based on site activity
Email – newsletter sponsorships
Increase Lead Scores & Improve Conversion Rates
inSegment’s Deep Media Nurturing program is designed to reach your leads, with customized messaging based on his/her stage in the buyer’s journey naturally fitting into that user’s environment. Each interaction leads to a higher lead score, ultimately driving more of your leads to become marketing- or sales-qualified.
If your lead pipeline is full of a ton of top of funnel leads seemingly stuck there, this is the right program for you. Finally nurture your leads effectively.
More Sales-Qualified Leads. More Wins.

quieting the inner child
Everyone has that little voice of reason inside of them, you know, It’s that gut feeling, or voice inside that allows us to weigh out hard decisions or choices.
That inner voice that warns us that something doesn’t feel quite right, a second guess, a doubt, or a fear. Well imagine living with that every day – welcome to my life.
For me, the inner voice is my past, and it keeps me from doing anything without a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th guess – TRUST WHAT?
The inner voice is the child I was when I was abused. I was abused sexually from the age of 5 till I was 11, but the beliefs and the inner voice is the 9 year old, because that is the age I came to the understanding that what was happening was not right, and “hey, this is not right, this doesn’t feel right anymore, they are hurting me, not loving me”.
That is the age I started to fight inside and knew deep deep inside that this is not what a child should be doing or going through. This is the age I started to fight them off, and this is the age I started to plan the “how do I tell” – and I did tell at the age of 10.
The 9 year old child inside today is the past and the beliefs that no matter what anyone says, it will have it’s say before I can rationally be what what is vs what I hear.
When someone says something, I have to hear it 2 or 3 times before I even consider it to be true or right or true. There is always that voice inside of me that doubts everyone’s intentions – there HAS to be a motive, how can anyone do anything for me without there be some form of abuse attached to it.
As the adult today over 40, married, and who has 3 beautiful boys of her own, I know I am no longer in that abuse. I know I am not being hurt, but that little voice inside of me always makes me take a step back in fear – because nothing is safe.
There is a good side to that, but there is also a bad side to that; or as my therapist would describe it – “a blessing and a curse”. The blessing is, it allows me to have boundaries and walls that are needed.. the curse is it allows me boundaries and walls that are not needed.
When someone tells me “I care about you” the inner voice of the past say “at what cost?, whats in it for you?”.
When I am told I am supported, loved and cared for, that small voice inside says “yeah but, what if, are you sure?, maybe I am not good enough”.
This is a huge obstacle for me in my healing and always has been. It has been helpful at times, and other times it has gotten in my way from accepting the beautiful things that people offer me.
“Caring for your inner child has a powerful and surprisingly quick result; do it and the child heals” – Martha Beck
Sometimes my therapist and I will smile and laugh at it, and say “what a pain in the ass this 9 year old can be”. But it truly shows just how DEEP these wounds are. I was so abused that it indented my own beliefs. It took away my own ability to have a sense of self.
It took me years to trust my own husband. Granted I am married now 21 years, but the first thing I told him when we first started dating was “if I have to ask you for permission for anything, this is not going to work, we will both be level”. My husband is wonderful and we have a wonderful relationship. We both treat each other equal, and he is one of the safest people I know – he is my best friend.
It’s not just about trusting others, it’s about believing and accepting that someone would invest their time, love, care and energy on me without a price. I never had unconditional love, it was always conditioned as a child.
Conditioned meaning sexual favors = love, hitting = love, taking off my clothes ans touching me = love, belting me over and over on my legs till they were scarred and bleeding = love. To get love, I had to endure, and at 9 years old I came to realize this is not what love is.
The pain of my fathers good friend Bill showering me with gifts, love and attentiveness for months until that one day when he got me alone in the bathroom with the door locked … can’t say I saw that coming – and a wound was created for the rest of my life. A wound that would forever remind me that gifts given = a scar I will never forget.
This is one of the biggest reasons why I struggle with dependency, because to become dependant on someone is to be vulnerable. To be vulnerable requires me to quiet the past and the inner voice inside that tries to warn me that danger is ahead. To quiet down the inner voice is to take risks, and that taking risks is a fear without warning.
To be dependent on someone is to be captive, owned and chained to another person – when in the past I knew the only safety was myself. I only depended on myself as a child; that’s all I knew.
Sometimes in therapy my therapist will tell me something big and important, and he will pause and say “wait, what did the 9 year old hear?”. because he knows my past that lays deep inside of me.
As a child I lived looking through cracks in the door. I lived knowing every single creek on the stairs that made a noise. I knew every door, every corner, and every small space I could crawl into to not be found. Sitting on the toilet and going to the bathroom as fast as I could watching the door in fear there would be a small little crack of being watched.
All I had was my inner voice – “no, don’t take those stairs, go around the back because they will hear you”. “NO it’s not safe to go outside of the bedroom yet, they are watching you”.
Today that inner voice still resides in me. It doesn’t allow me to have open arms to all the love around me without TRUE self belief that I am okay and I am not being hurt by accepting.
Today in session my therapist told me something that was so big and honoring… and I knew I would struggle with the voices of the past on the way home in the car.. I knew I would struggle with the old beliefs and the past.
So on the way home I had an argument with myself and I WON. I silenced the past and said “NO this is what I heard and this is what I am going to believe”.
I silenced the LIES from my past for a good couple of hours. I said to the inner voice from my past “NOT this time, I can accept this support and love without you warning me because – I am OKAY, and what you are trying to tell me vs what is really being said to me I CHOOS TO BELIEVE.
Now, this is not to be confused with any kind of personality disorder, I don’t have any of that – I know I am the 40+ year old adult today, married and has 3 boys – it’s about the OLD beliefs of my past that acts as a voice to my now. The past is so DEEP and WOUNDED that it’s hard to move out of those old beliefs.
The beliefs being that I have to 2nd guess everything until I finally let go and believe I am LOVED for just being ME – no motive, no sex, no pain, no manipulation. The beliefs that I have to take 2 steps back and observe before letting anyone even close to me. The beliefs that no one will ever love me unless I give to them.
This is and has been a work in progress – however there comes a time when I have to let that inner voice of reason go and let myself decide what is safe, and to also let myself be hurt and realize this hurt is not the same as that hurt (meaning the past).
it’s a challenge everyday. It’s hard, but I am healing and I am trusting, and I can connect, hold a hand, hug and accept a lot more than I could 6 years ago.
I am reading this book called “healing the inner child” and it’s about how to heal the child who was hurt so that you can be allowed to be FULLY the adult today. Its a process, but a fulfilling healing process.
I can’t wait for the day when I wake up to where I can be in charge of my own decisions and fears, and loves and take those risks on my own.
just like tonight writing this blog – it was a huge risk, and I will silence the inner voice and make the decision to share this with everyone who loves an cares about me – unconditionally.

I AM HERE. John.
I heard your prayer and know that this Love is flowing into your
soul, and that now you have a great abundance of Its possession of
which you are conscious. It will never fail you when you pray in
earnestness and with the real longings for Its coming. It is always
ready to respond to your aspirations and to make you feel Its
Presence and the happiness that comes with It.
As you know, I am your special friend in my work of helping to
develop your soul. And whenever you pray to the Father, as you have
just prayed, I come to you with my love and influence to help open
up your soul to the inflowing of this Love. Have faith, and you will
have the certainty of the presence of the Love, and that It is yours
and is seeking to come into your soul in greater abundance.
You are blessed in that you have the knowledge of the existence of
this Love, and that It may be yours if you so will It to be, and
pray with the true longings of your soulís desires. You cannot doubt
the Truth of what I write; for, as in the ordinary things of life,
there is nothing so convincing as personal experience. And your
experience is such that there has been no room for doubt. So, keep
the consciousness of the presence of this Love continually alive,
and pray and pray whenever the opportunity presents itself. By this,
I donít mean that you shall wait for a time when you are not engaged
in your business affairs. Rather, pray at moments when the mind may
be free from these business affairs, even if only for a moment. The
longings, if exercised only for a moment, will bring their results;
for Godís Ear is always open and ready to cause the responses to
ONE MOMENT OF TRUE SOUL-FELT LONGING IS MORE EFFECTIVE THAN HOURS OF
PRAYER WHERE THESE LONGINGS ARE NOT PRESENT. THE PRAYERS OF THE LIP
OR OF HABIT ARISE NO HIGHER THAN THE ESCAPING BREATH, AND DO NOT
CAUSE THE LOVE TO RESPOND AND FLOW INTO THE SOUL. REMEMBER THIS. AND
THEN REALIZE HOW FUTILE ARE ALL THE PRAYERS OF PREACHERS AND
OSTENSIBLE WORSHIPERS WHEN THE SOULíS LONGINGS AND DESIRES ARE NOT
ONLY SOUL CAN CALL TO SOUL, AND LOVE RESPONDS ONLY WHEN SUCH SOUL
CALLS. THE MERE DESIRES OF THE MIND, IF I MAY SO EXPRESS MY MEANING,
DO NOT IN THE LEAST AFFECT THE SOUL. AND AS MIND CAN OPERATE ONLY ON
MIND, THERE CANNOT POSSIBLY BE ANY ACTIVITY OF THE SOULíS FACULTIES
WHEN ONLY THE MIND IS OPERATING. HENCE, YOU WILL SEE THAT ALL THE
WORSHIP THAT COMES MERELY FROM THE MIND WILL NOT EFFECTUATE THE
WORKING OF THE LOVE, OR BRING THE SPIRITíS WORK INTO OPERATION.
I write this to further encourage you, and also to make plain the
necessity for the true prayer.

FLINT, MI – The adrenaline of strapping into a hot rod and driving more than 200 miles per hour is part of Brian Olatunji's daily life.
Olatunji, a 2005 Kettering University graduate, has been drag racing for the past 17 years and he's taken that passion to a more national audience. Olatunji, who studied mechanical engineering at Kettering, is one of three racers followed on reality TV show.
Where the show first debuted in 2013, the show was re-debuted on the Velocity channel over the weekend and the 10 episodes of Dreams to Champions will air every Saturday.
"It's a reality-based show that shows you the lives of three racers. We're chasing the championship," said Olatunji, 31, of West Bloomfield. "It's got a unqiue blend in of the reach of motorcar and the characters of the show, so to speak. It really shows what it takes to make it in racing."
Olatunji,who goes by Brian O, is on the show with an 18-year-old NASCAR driver from Mexico and a drift racer from the Dominican Republic.
Olatunji grew up in Detroit and spent a lot of time at the Detroit Dragway and Motor City Dragway. It was something his grandparents got him interested in, he said.
And since he couldn't go to college for drag racing, Kettering was the next best thing, he said. He minored in business, which helped prepare him for his future.
At the age of 19, while still at Kettering, Olatunji started his own company, Leadfoot Motorsports LLC. In 2009, Pepsi Co. signed on as a partner to sponsor the company, according to a Kettering profile on Olatunji.
Starting his company and his racing career from the ground up has been a challenge, but his journey makes him unique, Olatunji said.
In his segments of the TV show, Olatunji said he tries to show all the aspects of racing not just the time on the track. He also shows the charitable side of what his company does.
Racing is not just what he does, but it's part of who he is.
"It's always been my dream and my passion," Olatunji said. "It's truly a lifestyle and it has to be one you are committed to and want to win."
Being in the driver's seat is full of adrenaline. As he prepares to speed down the quarter-mile track, Olatunji is completely focused, he said.
The fastest he's gone is 227 miles per hour.
"Before the race it's pure focus, 100 percent. When you get strapped into the hot rod you are finally in your office. Your mind is free and clear," Olatunji said. "Once your engine fires you're still focused but you're not thinking about the run. You are in tune with the machine that is sitting under you.
"It's a nervous adrenaline when the engine starts. Once the engine starts all the nerves go out the window."
The Dreams to Champions show airs 3 p.m. Saturdays on Velocity. The first two episodes can be found on YouTube, Olatunji said.

Portal:OpenGL Objects/Program Objects
A Program Object stores the executable code and uniform state for one or more Shader stages. The most common means of building them involves the creation of Shader Objects, which represent strings of text in the OpenGL Shading Language. Shader objects are compiled, and if successful, one or more shader objects is linked into a program.
In both cases, the user can query whether compilation or linking failed, and the error messages produced by any such failures.

Ohio State's Sammy Sasso edged in title match in NCAA wrestling
Sammy Sasso of Ohio State came up just short in his bid for a national title on Saturday, dropping a controversial decision to Austin O'Connor of North Carolina in the NCAA wrestling championships in St. Louis.
Sasso, a redshirt junior seeded No. 1 at 149 pounds, fell behind the second-seeded O'Connor 1-0 in the second period, then rallied to tie the score with an escape in the opening seconds of the third.
O'Connor took a 3-1 lead with a takedown with 43 seconds remaining. Sasso pulled to 3-2 with an escape with 22 seconds left and made a late move in the final seconds that OSU argued should have been awarded a two-point takedown and thus the victory.
Ohio State coaches challenged the call, but replay officials in the arena ruled in O'Connor's favor and the match ended 3-2.
Sasso was trying to become the Buckeyes' 24th individual national champion in wrestling.
Earlier Saturday, two other Ohio State All-Americans completed their tournaments.
At 165 pounds, Ethan Smith placed fifth at 165 pounds with a 7-5, sudden victory win over Zach Hartman of Bucknell.
Smith, a redshirt junior from Latrobe, Pennsylvania, who had entered the meet as the seventh seed, had earlier dropped a 4-1 decision to Travis Wittlake of Oklahoma State in a consolation match.
And heavyweight Tate Orndorff finished in eighth place after a 13-1 loss to Greg Kerkvliet of Penn State. Orndorff, a redshirt junior from Spokane, Washington, had entered the tournament as the No. 21 seed among 32 wresters, but won four consolation matches to reach the podium.

Cord cutting and utilization of streaming options are becoming the new norm for many households looking to save money. The NFL has had a decline in viewership for two years in a row, down almost 10 percent since last year. Online platforms for streaming are still growing rapidly and show no signs of stopping.
Amazon, Twitter, and YouTube all have an interest in offering more live content to viewers. Consequently, bids are being considered for rights to Thursday Night Football by all three tech companies. The NFL is seeking partnership from a business that is able to provide commentary on social media and attract younger audiences.
If any of the three tech companies aim to place the winning bid for steaming rights, it would be the first time that the main provider of live sports is an online business. Amazon has plenty of experience with live sports courtesy of the NBA's minor league counterpart G League. YouTube is now offering more live TV channels than ever before, and Twitter is still working on expanding live content available on its platform.
All three platforms have unique advantages for the NFL as a strategic partner. Amazon can push merchandise easily. YouTube has a massive audience of younger demographics and a more social aspect than Amazon. Twitter has the best direct user interaction with live events and can easily track user opinions over the length of games.
Despite Fox paying over $3 billion for its rights to broadcast Thursday games over traditional cable, Silicon Valley is not open to such lofty pricing. If any tech company buys the rights for online streaming, it is expected that the deal could be worth in the hundreds of millions. American football is not likely to be moving to exclusively online distribution anytime in the foreseeable future.

Kimmel Interview With Bush About UFOs In Midst Of Vault7 Leak
1. Ex president bush used hand gesture a lot.
2. He repeat several times in a humoured but not joking major he can’t tell him.
* It should be noted, he also appeared be relatively caught off guard, closing his eyes.
3. He interrupted Jimmy Kimmel confirming that yes, there were things about aliens he couldn’t share.
* He also fidgeted with his shirt quite a bit as well.
* From my own experience, I generally do that when I’m nervous.
* He also interrupted Kimmel mid statement again, indicating he might feel nervous about the topic.
Consider also the fact that Vault 7 leaks had came out, and he might have other security issues in mind.
* As we know, there is some talk in the UFO community about Assange having received UFO documentation.
* This was before his accusation by the news of Russian affiliation.
Consider the current political climate with Trump, it seems peculiar they would talk about the UFO alien issue, despite current tensions regarding the Russian connection.

Which are the best?
What follows is a communication of the remembrance supplementsability that, from our understanding, proffer the record swear for maintainingability and restoringability a prickly knowledge.

Gingko a asymptomatic acknowledged herb thatability has been double-blindability tried some nowadays for its qualifications to enhance the o glad to the mentality (and another carnal tissues). Because of this, Gingko is frequently taken to enhance memory, and climax psychological engrossment and simplicity.
Recently, researchersability from Body of California, Los Angeles Medical specialty Association showed thatability "the flavoring insert gingko bilobaability has incontestable in mentality scans to upgrade choral request among ancestors with age-relatedability reminiscence modification."
"Additionally, the researchersability say, differingability results could have by a long way to do with the prime of ginkgo biloba bilobaability in use and the duration of studies."
We will address down the stairs the central requirementsability for purchase merely the untouchable part gymnospermous tree (and else herbs, vitamins, and nutrients, and representation additive and internal representation pills).
DMAE is a naturally occurring alimental found in high concentrationsability in aquatic vertebrate.
DMAE can advance one's mood, antagonistic depression, and stimulus psychological feature functions (such as reminiscence and reduction), and even increase common sense. These benefits root word from thisability nutrient's part in manufacturing acetylcholine, a life-or-death neurochemical thatability is trustworthy for growing rational working.
Indeed, acetylcholine's chief role is in acting as the messenger for memory, and has been shown to be utterly exhausted in those stricken beside Alzheimer's disease.
In short, DMAEability is one of the best effective remembrance supplementsability thatability most populace aren't even conscious exists.
The leaves of the Gotuability Cola acuminata are a favourite silage among elephants. Mayhap thisability is why in attendance is an antique locution thatability says "having a representation like an proboscidian."
Whatever the baggage may be, goto goora nut is display a very good treaty of assurance as one of the longest internal representation supplementsability and remembrance pills. It has been attributedability a bird's-eye extent of benefits thatability regard enhancing psychogenic acuity, stavingability off remembrance deterioration, and rising blood surge by amplification liquid body substance vessels.
Indeed, in the copy published by Reader's Periodical called "The Curative Government of Vitamins, Minerals, and Herbs" it states: "In one study, 30 developmentally unfit family were recovered to have noticeably improved property and renown after attractive gotuability goora nut for 12 weeks..."
Precautions something like these reminiscence supplements
The following are whatever precautionsability thatability you should be aware of before winning any of the said reminiscence supplementsability.
Because gymnospermous tree is a humour dilution agent, population who are already on other than humour thinners - specified as aspirin - should consult a eligible robustness professional person or their doc to let him or her cognise of your concentrated.
Gotu nut tree can origination sensitivity to sunlight in any individualsability. If you are the benignant of being who comic confidently in the sun, transport supplementary precautionsability.
There are no prearranged haunch private property next to DMAEability.
As always, expectant women or women who are aid should music from taking flavorer remedies.
This account of precautionsability is not thoroughgoing. It solitary represents numerous of the more than well known allegeable cross personal estate of these representation supplementsability.
Some else belongings to hold in mind:
1) Neurotransmitter cannot be create by DMAEability alone; the beingness of more than a few B vitaminsability - like-minded Sustenance B5, Biotin, and Folic Unpleasant aids in the crop of DMAEability.
2) Ever purchase representation supplementsability made from standardized seasoner extractsability. These are make with the peak feature and effectiveness. Most supplement manufacturersability do not use standard flavorer extractsability because theyability worth more. And the little the outlay for them to produce, the greater their income margins. As the researchersability from the University of California, Los Angeles Medical specialty stated, grades can sure enough be parasitic upon the ability of the ingredientsability used.
Why not buy the best? Your form depends on it.

By the time I parked my bike today, I felt like a strong kid myself.
I did the OCC Strong Kids Ride today, a ride put together to benefit the local cycling club's efforts to help kids get bikes and the YMCA. And while the day started off dark and stormy, by the time I finished the sun was shining and I felt good about the morning's efforts.
There were three options to choose from, a family friendly 13-mile route, a 20- or 31-mile route. Even after I pulled into the parking lot and registered, I wasn't sure if I was going to go 20 miles or tackle the 31 miles. Even though I've recently logged rides of 20 miles, I hadn't ridden anything longer than 25 miles, and that was a couple of years ago.
When the time came to start the ride, I found myself standing next to a bunch of folks who were going 31 miles. Decision made.
I admit, all the cyclists riding their speedy looking bikes in their spiffy gear was a bit intimidating. I was worried I wouldn't be able to keep up, would be dropped in the first few miles and left to navigate a 31-mile route by myself.
I was wrong.
I actually kept pace. Yes, I was at the back of the lead group. But there were cyclists behind me. I realized this when we came to an intersection about 12 miles into the ride and stopped to wait for the entire group to get there and regroup. There were actually about 5 riders behind. I felt good not being the last one to that stop sign.
The ride took us throughout the rural areas in the western part of the county. It was actually really pretty. And a bit hilly. But after tackling the cliff road at High Cliff last week, I knew I could handle the hills. Most of them were rolling hills and there was only one semi-nasty one, and that was only because it was so long. And fairly steep compared to the other hills. But the view at the top of that hill made it worth the climb. And hitting 29 miles per hour on the way down.
We had a rest stop at mile 21, complete with Smuckers Uncrustables PB&J sandwiches, water and mini Clif Bars.
I was a bit worried about the last 10 miles when I got back on my bike after the rest stop. These were the new miles to me since it had been a really long time since I rode this far. But the miles came easy. I felt good. My legs weren't screaming in pain at me, even after all the hills and the headwinds I tackled in the first two-thirds of the ride.
When I pulled into the YMCA parking lot, I actually felt like I could keep riding. I was proud of myself for tackling a new distance. And I kept the route map, because I'm thinking about riding that route again in the near future. It was challenging and scenic. And I liked it.
I also liked the people that I rode with. Part of me thought this ride was going to be a ride it on your own. But we rode as a group. And for the most part, stuck together as a group. Yes, we got pretty spaced out during the last 10 miles, but for the most part, there were always riders near you, chatting with you as you rode.
I think that sense of community is the part that helped me decide to pick up the registration and join the cycling club here in town. They have organized rides almost every night of the week and they have get togethers. I think I'll like it.
And the Strong Kids Ride? I'm glad the miles I pedaled today will help out kids. But I'm also happy with the feeling that I got when I finished.
31 miles? Piece of cake for this Strong Kid.

What Is LeadPabges?
Leadpages is one of the most preferred landing page building contractors for little and medium-size organizations. Calling itself “the most effective, cost effective method for small businesses to get in touch with a target market, gather leads, and also close sales,” leadpages cyber monday Leadpages assures to help you build landing web pages, pop-ups and also alert bars quickly.
In fairness, that makes Leadpages seem like practically every other touchdown page builder on the marketplace. So, in this testimonial, we’re mosting likely to take a better take a look at where the system shines as well as where it’s kind of overrated, compared to the other devices you have offered.
- Failry easy to use
- Develop touchdown pages rapidly
- Filter design templates by highest possible conversion price
- Solid combination choices
- No web traffic limitations
- No business option
- Absence of customisation
- Slow-moving drag-and-drop contractor
- Restricted A/B screening on Standard plan
- Minimal kind alternatives
Essentially, you obtain a substantial amount of touchdown page themes and also Leadpages is usually extremely easy to use. Unfortunately, the top quality of these layouts does not really stack up to the similarity Unbounce and also Instapage however this wouldn’t necessarily be a trouble if Leadpages allowed you to personalize its typical layouts much more extensively.
Unfortunately, this isn’t the situation and also you need to use Leadpages’ drag-and-drop building contractor to obtain extremely customisable outcomes. This by itself would not be a significant trouble either yet the building contractor is quite slow-moving and this diminishes an or else user friendly platform.
There are some good features in there, however– like the truth you can filter templates in order of their conversion rate (based on Leadpages’ information) and the optional pop-ups as well as alert bars.
How much does Leadpages set you back?
Leadpages has 3 plans offered:
Standard for brand-new services
Pro for growing companies
Advanced for companies.
There’s no choice for business brands but this platform actually isn’t focused on bigger companies at all.
There are 3 various repayment designs with Leapages, permitting you to pay month-to-month, annually and on a 2-year basis– each option using a reduced comparable price factor.
If you compare that to Unbounce (strategies begin at $79/mo) and Instapage (plans begin at $99/mo), Leapages clearly aims to provide smaller businesses a less costly option.
Right here’s what you in fact obtain for your cash.
Leadpages Standard ($ 37/mo, paid yearly).
- Limitless Pages, Web Traffic, & Leads.
- Unlimited Pop-ups.
- Limitless Alert Nights Clubs.
- Free Hosting.
- Attach 1 Domain.
- 200+ Free Templates( Mobile-Responsive).
- 40+ Standard Integrations.
- Facebook & Instagram AdBuilder.
- Tech Assistance (through Email).
- Weekly Team Training.
Leadpages Pro ($ 79/mo, paid every year).
- All Standard attributes.
- Online Sales and also Repayments.
- Endless A/B Split Checking.
- Email Trigger Links.
- 10 Opt-in Text Projects.
- Special Price cuts with companion companies.
Leadpages Advanced ($ 321/mo, paid annually).
- All Standard and Pro functions
- Advanced Integrations.
- 5 Free Sub Accounts.
- 50 Additional Opt-in TextCampaigns.
- 1-on-1 Flying Start Call.
- Leadpages Virtual Workshops.
In regards to attributes, Leadpages loads a whole lot into its system for a reasonable price. The only complaint I have is the reality you do not get endless A/B screening on the Standard variation, although you can develop unlimited touchdown pages.
Yes, the business needs to separate its plans but scheduling this important feature for its a lot more expensive plans mostly counteracts the price benefit over Unbounce and Instapage.
One massive advantage Leadpages has over the competition is that you have no constraint on web traffic, despite which version you use. With Unbounce, as an example, you’re restricted to 500,000 unique visitors monthly and also you’ll need to subscribe to the venture variation for anything more than that.
You do not have this limitation with Leadpages, which is wonderful if you have a lot of website traffic coming to your website. In real world technique, though, very few of the local business Leadpages is targeting will certainly generate more than 500,000 distinct visitors on a month-to-month basis.
How does Leadpages compare to the competitors?
Leadpages gets off to a strong begin with budget-friendly rates, solid functions and also a respectable selection of landing page themes– an alluring recommendation if you’re contrasting it to alternatives like Unbounce as well as Instapage.
Unfortunately, Leadpages quickly loses if you really begin using other touchdown page builders.
Leadpages Final judgment.
Leadpages intends to offer a touchdown page builder for smaller sized businesses as well as its prices plan looks quite ideal at a glance. There are a few things it requires to deal with, however. If it makes A/B testing fully offered on every variation of its system, after that the cost effective prices of its Standard plan become a real possession.
At this moment, you primarily need to pay up for its Pro version and this places you near Instapage costs.
The other two problems I have is the lack of customisation alternatives on Leadpages’ design templates, that makes it tough to match the branding and layout on existing sites. Then we have that web page building contractor which could have resolved those customisation problems, if it wasn’t on the slow side.

The Dynamo Team went out to Williston, ND last month to see firsthand the shale revolution that is changing
the energy world. The reason to come to Williston is that it is at the center of the action. Landing in Williston was uneventful, save that the airport was probably the size of our incubator, Greentown Labs.
A boomtown is an amazing place, where at first the world seems like any other you are familiar with, but after a while you realize it is actually different. Very, very different.
Getting out of the Airport, Williston seems like any other midwest American town of ~14,000 people: streetlights, cars, gas stations, and local restaurants that were never displaced by big national chains. But once you drive half a mile beyond the airport, you notice the odd things. There are far too many trucks on the road. Not SUVs, but 18 wheelers, and cement trucks, and tankers—in fact, you barely see any other types of vehicles on the road. These trucks always seemed to be on the road, morning or evening; we would later hear them screaming by as we tried to sleep in our hotel.
As you drive from the airport, along Highway 2, you see the roads are lined, not with strip malls like you would see in suburban America, but office buildings of service companies; names like Schlumberger, Baker Hughes, Cameron, Caterpillar, & Weatherford streak by in your peripheral vision. Of the houses you did see, you wonder why the houses are so small and packed together in this mostly un-inhabited county. You notice the flash of light from the sides of metal buildings still under construction, and you wonder why there needs to be so many trailer parks for this little town. As you will later learn, Williston has the highest rent in the US, and some believe that the population of Williston swells to 75,000 people in the summer—and they are all here to work on drilling oil.
We arrived at our hotel to find it was still under construction. Workers were painting the walls and lining Ethernet as we checked in. When we asked the front desk where we could grab some dinner, she exclaimed “Applebee’s just opened up down the street.” As we drove to dinner (we opted for something more local than Applebee’s) we saw Pumpjacks right in town—an integral part of the urban landscape.
We had arrived in a boomtown, where oil wells and buildings, services were being built out at a lightning pace, but where talent and the houses for them to live in could not be found fast enough. We had arrived in a town where at every table sat groups of people with the word oil on their lips. We had arrived in a town where something new and different was taking place; where people came to be a part of the tidal wave that would bend history.

As I’ve noted before, my garden is neglected. This shouldn’t be surprising because in the spring, as a landscape designer, I’m busy running around creating gardens for others. The gardens do get the occasional power weeding, but I don’t have much time or energy for my own gardens early in the growing season. When summer kicks in around the 4th of July and things slow down, I begin my gardening season. I know this is not optimal, but it’s all I’ve got.
I start with the biggest tasks interspersed with manic spurts of weeding. This year, my new neighbors have let their garden go. Their Halls honeysuckle, multiflora roses, wild raspberries and poison ivy are over on my side of the fence. The honeysuckle was climbing up my small tree so this morning chop, chop, off I went with Felcos, lopers, pruning saw, telescope pruners and a ladder.
My goal, since I still have to support myself is to garden for an hour every morning in the shade. I start with the overhead plane since I’m not fond of working on a ladder and I want to get that out of the way. I’ll work my way down to the ground plane. With this course of action and limiting the time to small intervals it doesn’t get overwhelming and is still enjoyable for me despite the heat and humidity.

where abouts in Sask. do you live.i've spent some time around meadow lake.
why do i get the feeling that the pure little montana has a hint of scarcasm in there.did u get your barrels yet? i've been breaking mine in this weekend. almost to the 10th shot.getting ready to do a ladder.
We live in Regina, which rhymes with... [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img] Not much more to say about this place. I have done a lot of time up at Meadow Lake, mostly chasing bears for the gov't.
Willard and I go back a long way - he used to call me "Poacher" for some reason. One time we landed in a chopper in front of his cabin - needed a potty-break and some of his coffee. Stayed at his cabin a few times. He is still going strong I understand.
Yes the 7mm barrels are starting to trickle in. Got one Nesika/McMillan A-5/Lilja 7mm AM finished and will be starting the next today. We are having some lovely 45 mph winds today so no range testing today!!!
I don't now what sarcasm is either by the way [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!!

|Re: [aspectj-users] How to remove aspectjrt.jar runtime dependecy while using AspectJ|
I have a scenario, where I would like to implement

I want aspectj to weave the logging into the code, but

I know that n-body problem can be complicated, but that's for the dynamics. What about a static case: e.g. if I have the distances of several bodies A, B and C etc. and their distance to a reference mass m, can I just use the vector addition of the Newton's gravitational force to add up all of the forces from all those bodies to the reference mass and obtain the resulting vector? or is it more complicated than that?

During VMworld 2012 in San Fransisco Trend Micro announced the next version of their hypervisor based security product. They announced a lot of new and cool features and improvements which are probably gonna make into the final product.
I just got a demo at the Trend Micro booth here at VMworld in Barcelona and it look very promising.
(Please remember that the product is not released yet. Things may change before it is generally available.)
vSphere and Cloud support
Deep Security 9 supports vSphere 5.1 and vCloud Networking and Security 5.1. Next to the support for vSphere 5.1 there is also support and integration for vCloud Director and Amazon cloud services.
De-cluttering of the interface
I’m not sure if you would classify this as a new feature, but in my opinion it should be high on the list. Trend Micro redesigned the interface a bit. Now the system configuration and tweaking no longer is a two day trip through al configuration tabs. I didn’t count them, but in the demo today I saw less tabs.

5) Kentucky Senate President David Williams (R) is up with his first television ad, a 30-second spot titled "Tough." The narrator of the spot says Williams has a "proven conservative record." Williams is the front-runner on the GOP side of the gubernatorial race and is expected to advance to a general election match-up with Gov. Steve Beshear (D). It has not been a good news week for Kentucky Republicans. Over the weekend, Williams was forced to confront a story about his past gambling habits. Meanwhile, his GOP challenger Phil Moffett's "money bomb" failed to reach its goal. 4) We reported Wednesday that CNN will co-host an October debate in Las Vegas. Add one more debate to the schedule: Bloomberg and the Washington Post will host a Republican presidential debate on Oct. 11 at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire that focuses on economic issues. 3) A Wednesday late-night meeting between Obama and Congressional leaders did not produce a budget breakthrough that would avert a government shutdown this weekend, but the two sides agreed they had narrowed the issues in efforts to strike a deal. 2) Who will get blamed if there is a government shutdown? A new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that 37 percent (a plurality) say they would blame congressional Republicans if the current budget disagreement leads to a shutdown, while 20 percent say they would blame Obama and another 20 percent would blame congressional Democrats. Seventeen percent would blame everyone, and two percent say they would blame both Obama and congressional Democrats. 1) On Wednesday, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg claimed victory over Justice David Prosser in the hotly contested Wisconsin Supreme Court race after an unofficial tally showed her holding a razor-thin lead. According to an unofficial tally by the AP, she was up 204 votes out of nearly 1.5 million cast -- a margin of 1/100th of a percent. A recount is all but certain in the race. The last statewide recount was in 1989 over a referendum to change the state Constitution, but Government Accountability Board Director Kevin Kennedy said there are no records of statewide recounts for races involving candidates since before 1913.

Matthew Pates, Emergency Planning Manager for the Highways Agency Midlands region, said: "Road users who are planning to use routes in the Midlands affected by the Olympic Torch Relay can help us to help them by planning their journey in advance and leaving extra time, as our roads in the area are likely to be busy while the Torch is moving through. We will use our electronic message signs to give drivers information about any diversions and delays, and provide up-to-the minute information about traffic conditions on the motorways and other major roads we manage using local radio. People can use a range of Highways Agency mobile services to check the traffic conditions on these routes before they leave or when parked - they include an iPhone app, mobile website and regular updates on our Twitter feed at @HAtraffic_wmids from West Midlands region or @HAtraffic_emids for East Midlands region."
Highways Agency Traffic Officers will be patrolling the motorways in the Midlands to clear any incidents quickly, while staff at Highways Agency's regional control centres will be monitoring the network via CCTV and using other state-of-the-art technology to keep traffic moving.

A Pittsburgh police officer was attacked by a homeless man's dog tonight, before he shot and killed it, city public safety spokeswoman Sonya Toler said.
Ms. Toler declined to name the officer who was trying to wake Christopher Stevens, 35, around 7:25 p.m. at the corner of Fort Duquesne Boulevard and 7th Street. The man's German shepherd attacked the officer and bit his left forearm, she said.
"The officer fired shots to defend himself from the dog," Ms. Toler said. The dog was killed, she said.
The bite was minor, she said, and the officer was treated at the hospital, where he also underwent a drug screening, a standard procedure.
Mr. Stevens was being held in the Allegheny County Jail for public intoxication, Ms. Toler said, and added that she was unsure if additional charges would be filed.

Lacey Spears: “Baby Killer” Tortured With Salt In Prison
In 2015, Lacey Spears charged with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter following the death of her five-year-old son, Garnett.
Now, Spears is serving a 20-year sentence for allegedly poisoning her son with high levels of salt, a crime which is coming back to haunt the 28-year-old Kentucky native.
The former mommy blogger gave a prison interview to true crime author and biographer John Glatt for his upcoming book, My Sweet Angel, in which she described the kind of torture other inmates are putting her through.
“It’s been brutal here. Crimes involving children are considered the worst here,” Spears said, according to Radar Online.
“I hear them talking behind my back, calling me ‘baby killer,’ ‘child killer,’ and ‘mother of the year.’ But I know it’s not who I am.”
This doesn’t come as a surprise, given that it’s common knowledge that those accused of crimes against children are usually assaulted by fellow inmates.
“It’s been very hard, adjusting to being here,” Spears told Glatt.
“You always have to look behind your back, and I don’t trust anyone. I don’t have any friends, but I have people to talk to.”
Spears’ sister, Rebecca recalls stories from her incarcerated sibling, in particular the bullying.
“When she walked through the line [in the cafeteria] and it would be her turn to pick up the tray [someone] would put salt packets over her meal and then hand the tray to her,” Rebecca Spears said.
Spears was suspected of suffering from Munchausen by proxy, and was offered to go into protective custody (which would force her to spend 23 hours per day in solitude), but she declined.
Spears maintains her innocence, and at one point claimed that it was the hospital’s fault that he died, not hers.
“I didn’t hurt him,” Spears told 48 Hours‘ Troy Roberts.
“I never poisoned him with salt.”
Garnett Spears passed away in January 2014.

Azure AD provides self-service capabilities for Password management. This built-in capability of Azure AD not only reduce the number of helpdesk tickets but at the same time it enhances the productivity of the user by saving time and efforts put in requesting for the password reset or account unlock. Azure AD self-service password reset capability also known as SSPR. Azure AD SSPR provides different set of capabilities with different edition of Azure AD.
Azure AD Free: Supports SSPR for Cloud-only administrators.
Azure AD Basic: Supports SSPR for Cloud-only users.
Azure AD Premium: Supports SSPS for all the users including cloud users, on-premises users with password sync and federated users but the password write-back must be enabled for on-premises users.
Azure AD SSPR simplifies the password management in following scenarios:
Forgot Password: This is a common issue among the users. If user forgot his password and wants to rest the password then he must go through one of the validates authentication methods:
- By phone call to validated mobile phone
- By text message to validated mobile phone
- By email to validated secondary email account
- By answering security questions
Change password: If any time users wants to change his/her password for any reason, they can change their password but they should remember their current password.
Unlock account: This is another common issue among the users. If your account has been locked and you are unable to login, use this method to unlock your account with valid authentication methods.
Now, let’s have a look how to do it.
First, login to Azure AD to configure Azure AD for SSPR.
Go to the Password reset and select the appropriate SSPR option. Either you can select the group for SSPR or select all for all the users.
If you want to SSPR for all the users then select All and then save the configuration.
In my scenario, I am selecting Selected for specific groups.
I have selected a group called SSPR here to provide SSPR capability to the users.
Now select the Authentication method.
I am selecting all the methods. If you select “security questions” option then you need to set the security question. Click on “Select security questions”
You can select the security question from Predefined and Custom options.
In my case, I am selecting 5 predefined security questions.
Select all the questions and click on OK.
Once configured all the authentication methods, click on Save.
Now, it is time to configure the end user setting.
Ask your users to login to the https://portal.azure.com and configure their accounts with additional security.
Select the required options and set them now.
Select the questions from drop down menu.
Answer these questions and click on save answers.
Once done, click on finish.
Login to your Azure services. I am trying to login to the https://myapps.microsoft.com . Enter your user name and click on Next.
Click on “Forgot my password”
Fill the details and click on Next
Answer your security questions for verification and click on Next.
Now, enter your new password and click on Finish.
Your password has been reset, Now, login with your new password and enjoy!

Next stable: 6.2.0
Last Updated: April 13th, 2015
Files management & plugins
- Big files management: more “background task” w/ monitoring
- Indexing : retest and finish the elasticsearch plugin
- Etherpad-lite: retest and finish > 6.0.6
- Metadata fields: real “tag cloud” field (with auto-complete existing tags) > 6.0.6
- Return of “Cart” feature: select a set of files to create a minisite
- Share a file internally: share a file like sharing a folder as workspace. “Shared with me” workspace?
- Ability to create folders in the Copy/Move dialog
- Restoring deleted files in non-existing folders (re-create folder tree?)
- Copy/Paste features: button to copy sharing URLs in clipboard / Ctrl+V support for uploading files (?)
- Downloads : nice idea by fredkilbourn: configure a subdomain for downloading, makes it lighter for the browser (maximum parallel connections). May be also merged with a “direct download from storage” feature, e.g. for restfull storages? https://pyd.io/f/topic/bugfeature-configure-subdomains-for-slow-or-heavily-concurrent-actions/
- Ceph via phprados (direct access)
- Swift via opencloud (alternative SDK)
- On-the-fly encryption
- In-house versioning (to replace git)
- Rewrite layouts for full HA setup, including 3 nodes for DB cluster
- Automatic documents locking?
- Group & Workspaces
- Switch the way groups and WS can see each other (see https://pyd.io/f/topic/groups-and-workspace-management/)
- Quota Management: we should be able to use groups as main “tenant”, and as such, assign a quota to a group, that can be split by the group admin to the users of the groups. Quota would thus be checked first against a user quota, and then the group quota (by summing all workspaces of this group, no matter the actual owner of the workspace). This would avoid having to check for a given workspace who is the parent’s parent’s parent’s […] owner.
- Number of users limitation: in a group-based multi-tenancy environments, could be also nice to limit the number of authorized users per group. Would apply to group-admins creating users, and to normal users creating shared users.
- Write a generic interface to various snapshoting file systems : ZFS / LVM
- Backup Tools
- Easy way to export / import all configuration data, = everything except data.
- Manage users & groups & roles
- Better visualization of who access what
- Analytics Dashboard: improve, better performances
- Mobiles: Log devices connected
- SSO: SAML
- In-house 2FA solution (using SMS or our mobile apps)
Viewers / Editors
- Multimedia suite: ffmpeg pregeneration of streamable mp4 previews for all videos
- Review state of Thunderbird plugin
- Embed Nginx & IIS config files for easier RewriteRules
- App Hub – Package appliance for more VM engines
- Linux repositories : DB upgrade support
- Linux repositories: change repositories URL to pyd.io (currently dl.ajaxplorer.info)
- Update site: change URL to eventually move update server to a new server
- One-click install on clouds
- Server watchdog: solution for modifs done directly on the storage (outside of pydio)
- Unit Testing
- API Testing
- Code Style rules
- Switch theming to Sass?
- We are currently reworking our mobile apps from scratch, both for Android & iOS. Stay tuned!
- Most rated : ability to leave empty credentials in the server and prompt for credentials on each login.

When he was young, Frenchman Jacques Henri Lartigue was given a camera as a gift. At the age of eight he began to record the life of his family with his new toy. Lartigue produced approximately 120 photo albums, probably one of the most interesting collections of pictures ever made of a family.
Aspiring photographers always want to go somewhere else to take photographs because they think that the elsewhere is more exotic, exciting and photogenic. I believe the best place to start learning to document is in your own backyard. Think of the visual possibilities of shooting at home. The events we take for granted: weddings, barbecues, parties, daily life and portraits. Not only that, you don’t usually need a model release for pictures of your own family. When I make this suggestion to students at my workshops, the answer I usually get is, “Nothing ever happens in my house.” What they really mean is they are looking but not seeing. They are oblivious to the visual opportunities.
A Photographic Treasure Trove In Your Own Neighborhood
If ever you think that photographing your family is banal, look at the picture of W. Eugene Smith’s featured in the exhibition, Family of Man. The photograph, A Walk to Paradise Garden is a wonderful tender image of his children.
Smith also produced the legendary, The Jazz Loft Project. For this project he sat for hours at his fourth-floor window waiting for the right moment to capture life in the flower district of New York where he lived. He shot in all types of weather, using a number of cameras and lenses, which he kept close by to capture the constant activity outside the window.
You don’t have to go much further than your own neighbourhood to find a treasure trove of photographic opportunities. The American photographer Bill Owens photographed friends, relatives or people he met in the community of Livermore, Ca., for his classic book, Suburbia . The pictures capture wonderfully the daily dramas, big and small, of life in newly suburban California.
Documenting Life in Australia
For greatly loved Australian documentary photographer Rennie Ellis, nothing was too mundane to photograph. Rennie photographed everything around him: family, neighbourhood picnics, parties, cafe society. Thanks to Ellis, we have a great collection of images through the ‘60s, 70s 80s and 90s reflecting life in those fast-changing times.
For 50 years, Mark Strizic wandered the streets of Melbourne trying to capture the familiar. His photographs showed people going about their daily business; the energy and the quietness of the streets. Good documentary photographers need the qualities that enabled Strizic to produce his wonderful body of work: dedication, persistence and patience.
One of my favourite on-going projects about daily life is by Bill Bachman .
Bill regularly pulls out a camera and documents everything he is involved with. The resultant diaries are whimsical, funny, clever and engaging. They show that when a documentary photographer picks up a camera, even at a family event, the picture becomes an unforgettable moment in time.
Documenting a Tragic Personal Journey
My mother has Alzheimer’s and has been that way for several years. When I found out I began to document her disappearance into her own confused world. Not long ago she was a well-known dancer and was still giving performances in her late-70s. Sometimes photographing my own mother is difficult and confronting. But if I’m prepared to photograph other people’s families and lives, then I certainly believe I should document my own. I had been documenting my mother as a dancer for many years and this is just another chapter in her life.
While photographing my mother, I try to be sensitive but truthful. When working with any people in sensitive situations it is worth keeping in the forefront of your mind that they are not merely subjects, they are someone’s parent, child or sibling.
There are many events that happen around you which are not necessarily as poignant but might be just as photogenic. I have documented some of these occasions with my family, friends and neighbours. I photographed the birth of my daughter, the birth of a friend’s daughter, life on the family farm. I have shot portraits of the local butcher, milk bar owner and a number of my interesting neighbours. It’s all about seeing the extraordinary in the ordinary.
The added bonus of photographing the ordinary and the mundane is that documentary is history. Whatever you photograph is a documentation of the now. You may not do it well or with great intent but it is still a recording of an event happening now.
Whenever the thought enters your head that there is nothing around you to photograph, take another look at the work of Lartique, Smith, Owens, Ellis, Bachman and Strizic. Give a thought to capturing the everyday moments of ordinary lives; moments, which unless photographed, will be lost forever.

Posted by Debby McElroy
On May 3 – 5, ACI-NA held its annual Economics and Finance Conference in Miami. It was a fabulous meeting, with more than 250 airport and associate representatives attending. While all the presentations were really good, I was particularly struck by the bond data presented by Michael Lexton of J.P. Morgan. While ACI-NA has been working with our members to obtain updated information on bond issuances to help educate Congress on the importance of making permanent the AMT holiday for private activity bonds, we did not have access to overall statistics. Michael indicated that as a result of the AMT holiday, AMT debt declined from 68% of debt issued in 2008 to only 8% of debt for 2009 through April 30, 2010. He also noted that airport bond issuances are on pace to reach a record level in 2010. Airport debt issuance for January – April 2010 reached $6.85 billion, compared with $1.39 billion and $5.14 billion respectively in the same period in 2009 and 2008.
These bonds are financing new infrastructure and jobs as well as reducing debt, allowing airports to reduce their costs and preserve air service. The case is clear – we need to make AMT relief for private activity bonds permanent and extend the refunding period. Unfortunately we are running against the clock to ensure the current relief, included in the American Relief and Reinvestment Act, does not expire at the end of 2010. ACI-NA was instrumental in having a one-year extension in one of the House jobs bill, HR 4849. The same legislation is pending before the Senate Finance Committee and we are also lobbying for its passage by the Senate. If you have not done so already, be sure to call your senators and let them know how important this extension is to airports and the companies that support the industry.
We are also encouraging all airports to work with their legislators to cosponsor HR 425 and S 138 to make the AMT relief permanent and expand refunding. When you make that call, also encourage your legislators to cosponsor these bills. Remember it is all about job creation and economic development and airports have a great story to tell!

One of the benefits of being a team that has ties to two states is when you win, it usually means double the celebration.
The New York Giants, who play in New Jersey, were feted on both sides of the Hudson River on Tuesday following their 21-17 win in Super Bowl XLVI. New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg hosted a ticker-tape parade through the "Canyon of Heroes" in lower Manhattan and winding up at City Hall, where the team was presented the keys to the city.
Not to be outdone, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie hosted a celebration bash at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford. According to Bloomberg News, Christie kept a promise he made to Adam Bernstein, a 10-year-old from Bridgewater who asked the governor at a Jan. 24 town hall meeting where the celebration would be held if the Giants won. Christie assured Bernstein there would be a celebration in New Jersey, since that's where the Giants train and play and many of them live.
"The only thing New York about the Giants is the helmet," Christie said at the time. "So I'm going to tell Mr. (John) Mara and Mr. (Steve) Tisch that if they really want to be loyal to where their real fans are, the rally to celebrate the Giants' Super Bowl victory will be right in MetLife Stadium."
Bernstein was Christie's guest at the stadium celebration, according to the governor's office in Trenton.
■ WEATHERFORD'S GOOD HANDS -- Giants punter Steve Weatherford is known for having a strong leg. But during Tuesday's victory parade, Weatherford showed he has good hands as well.
During the trip down the Canyon of Heroes, Weatherford, who was wearing his blue Giants helmet, hopped off the float he was traveling on and grabbed a drum from one of the marching bands playing in front of him and started to keep his own beat.
■ GOODBYE, KNICKERS -- Sunday's Super Bowl marked the end of an era for the NFL, as it was the final time the officiating crew wore the traditional white knickers. Starting next season, all officials will wear the long black pants that the NFL has been using the past few seasons for cold-weather games.
So whether it's 95 degrees in Miami or 20 below in Green Bay, the zebras will be decked out in long pants.
■ LOSERS' DANCE -- How seriously hurt was New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski? Apparently not bad enough to prevent him from dancing in a postgame party the Pats hosted late Sunday at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
Video from Boston radio station 98.5 The Sports Hub shows Gronkowski, who had just two catches in the game and was not a factor, shaking it pretty good while on stage with the group LMFAO. Patriots offensive lineman Matt Light is also in the video.
For a couple of guys who just lost the biggest game of their lives, Gronkowski and Light seemed to be enjoying themselves. How intense would the partying have been if the Pats had won?

During the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, Tyson Foods supervisors bet money on how many workers at a pork processing plant in Iowa would be infected with the lethal coronavirus, according to allegations in a wrongful death lawsuit that critics say reveals the "breathtaking callousness" of corporate managers who put profits over people.
"This is depraved," United Farm Workers said in a Twitter thread.
More than 1,000 employees at the company's facility in Waterloo — over one-third of the plant's workforce — "tested positive amid the outbreak, which eventually shut down the meat-processing plant and spurred harsh condemnations from local officials who said the company had failed to provide the necessary protections for its workforce," the Washington Post reported Thursday.
At least five Waterloo plant employees died as a result.
Family members of Isidro Fernandez, who succumbed to the disease on April 26, sued Tyson earlier this year, accusing the meatpacking company of "willful and wanton disregard for workplace safety."
"Despite an uncontrolled Covid-19 outbreak, Tyson required its employees to work long hours in cramped conditions," the lawsuit alleges. "Moreover, despite the danger of Covid-19, Tyson failed to provide appropriate personal protective equipment and failed to implement sufficient social distancing or safety measures to protect workers from the outbreak."
While the suit was originally filed in Iowa state court in August, "an amended complaint with new allegations was filed on November 11," the Post reported.
The Iowa Capital Dispatch detailed the startling new allegations against Tyson and managers at the Waterloo plant:
- In mid-April, around the time Black Hawk County Sherriff Tony Thompson visited the plant and reported the working conditions there "shook [him] to the core," plant manager Tom Hart organized a cash-buy-in, winner-take-all, betting pool for supervisors and managers to wager how many plant employees would test positive for Covid-19.
- John Casey, an upper-level manager at the plant, is alleged to have explicitly directed supervisors to ignore symptoms of Covid-19, telling them to show up to work even if they were exhibiting symptoms of the virus. Casey reportedly referred to Covid-19 as the "glorified flu" and told workers not to worry about it because "it's not a big deal" and "everyone is going to get it." On one occasion, Casey intercepted a sick supervisor who was on his way to be tested and ordered him to get back to work, saying, "We all have symptoms — you have a job to do." After one employee vomited on the production line, managers reportedly allowed the man to continue working and then return to work the next day.
- In late March or early April, as the pandemic spread across Iowa, managers at the Waterloo plant reportedly began avoiding the plant floor for fear of contracting the virus. As a result, they increasingly delegated managerial authority and responsibilities to low-level supervisors who had no management training or experience. The supervisors did not require truck drivers and subcontractors to have their temperatures checked before entering the plant.
- In March and April, plant supervisors falsely denied the existence of any confirmed cases or positive tests for Covid-19 within the plant, and allegedly told workers they had a responsibility to keep working to ensure Americans didn't go hungry as the result of a shutdown.
- Tyson paid out $500 "thank you bonuses" to employees who turned up for every scheduled shift for three months — a policy decision that allegedly incentivized sick workers to continue reporting for work.
- Tyson executives allegedly lobbied Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds for Covid-19 liability protections that would shield the company from lawsuits, and successfully lobbied the governor to declare that only the state government, not local governments, had the authority to close businesses in response to the pandemic.
Critics in April, as Common Dreams reported at the time, called President Donald Trump's order to keep meatpacking plants open a "death sentence."
This recent lawsuit filed on behalf of a deceased worker claims that managers at Tyson "turned the risk into a game."

It is no secret that Nigerians hate their rulers. But when Nigerian “prayer warrior” masses start to curse and pray for the death of their rulers, then there is a problem. In contrast to Nigeria, South Africans of all stripes grieved and wailed over Nelson Mandela’s hospitalization just some couple of weeks ago. If you want to infuriate an English man, insult, or speak evil about their WWII leader, Winston Churchill.
Not so long ago, Nigerians would shun verbal abuse, eschew cursing and have respect for human life. I remember when Nigerians would cry when they see a little spill of human blood say from a vehicular accident. When there is a complete loss of life, the neighborhood will be as silent as a grave yard. Then, even if a known enemy died, Nigerians still sincerely cry because they value human life. But those days are far gone.
Today, the Nigerian psyche has been hardened by years of rabid economic hardship, poverty, greed, cultism, corruption and hedonism. It is now a daily incident to see dead bodies on the streets of Nigeria. Cultist youths, political rivals, religious sects kill one another in the middle of the day. They simply say “nothing dey happen” while people walk past as if nothing anomalous has actually happened. The life of a Nigerian is not worth a cent anymore.
On the 27th of December 2012 alone, the breaking news from one major Nigerian online news outlet goes: “Teenage gunmen kill business mogul, three security officials, seven others in Maiduguri”; “ABU professor, Hyacinth Mbibu, shot dead in Zaria”; “Nine dead, 11 injured in Osun auto crash”; “JTF kill 5 suspected terrorists, demolish bomb factory in Kaduna”. Those headlines tell the story better than what I can express in words.
The ludicrous dimension to all of these is the euphoria and jubilation expressed by Nigerian masses when a member of the Nigerian thiefocratic class (President, Governor, Senator, House of Rep member, Minister, local government chairman, etc) dies.
I did not know how much the average Nigerian psyche has been crushed until the recent events in the last couple of months. In order to know the feeling on the ground when the plane of Governor Danbaba Suntai’s of Taraba State crashed, I placed a call to several friends. Needless to say, these are Nigerians I consider somewhat “God-fearing” and decent in many respect. The first response I got from each and every one of them is “make them all die, we are praying for the next one to die”. It was as if they were all reading from the same script.
“But na person papa, brother, uncle na?” I will respond. “Ok, dey talk for there. Na because say you no dey naija that’s why you dey talk like that na”. The suffer we dey while they send their children overseas and enjoy themselves from stealing Naija money hen, it reach make God take punish all of them with their families. Make all of them die, die, die”, they will conclude like Mountain of Fire prayer warriors.
One quoted the bible to buttress his point: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; but when the wicked bears rule, the people mourn. We will continue to mourn all of them one-by-one. Only Fashola and Oshiomole with their family will live long among the current thieves”.
Just barely some weeks after that discussion, we heard the ailment rumors of Cross River State Governor Liyel Imoke and Sullivan Chime, Enugu State Governor and Minister of Petroleum Alison-Madueke. As if that was not enough, Governor Idris Wada of Kogi State was involved in a ghastly road accident that may have left one of his legs broken and his aide dead. I cannot help but remember all the curses and death prayers that Nigerian masses shower daily on their rulers.
Many Nigerians in recent times have become accustomed to cursing their rulers. Before you have a five minutes discussion on the state of Nigeria with a Nigerian these days they would have cursed the ruling class more than a hundred times. There is justifiable unprecedented hatred for the ruling class like never before in the history of the country.
I was not appalled when Nigerians seemed to celebrate the demise of Governor Yakowa. What surprised me was that Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger State did not know (or pretended not to know) that Nigerian masses have a deep-seated hatred for the ruling class that have wasted and stolen the common wealth of the nation.
Following the celebration of Yakowa’s death, Governor Babangida Aliyu berated those Nigerians celebrating by saying “Immediately we start praying for our leaders to die, then we are asking that the whole society should die. We must pray for our leaders. We must go back to our faith and practice our religion as demanded by the almighty Allah. We must talk to our children. We must be involved in the moral and religious education of our children. This development shows that we are failing in the duty to train our children”.
Although Governor Aliyu used the word “leaders” in his statement, but I think he meant “rulers” because Nigeria in my opinion presently have very few public officials that we can ascribe the word “leaders”. So, I will stick to using the word “rulers” in place of “leaders”.
I concur with Governor Aliyu. Human life is sacred and should be valued. Unfortunately Governor, it appears to me that Nigerians cannot stop cursing or praying for the death of their rulers anymore. I will posit that the cursing and celebration of the death or misfortune of the ruling class will stop only when Nigerian masses feel their rulers care about them. Maybe they will stop cursing the ruling class when they stopped hearing about the billions of dollars embezzled by the rulers while they wallow in abject poverty.
When Nigerian masses see their rulers flaunting the wealth stolen from the national/state treasury; when they see the rulers flying abroad just for a stomach-ache while they die in Nigeria from just a head ache due to the lack of a health care system; when they see their rulers flying private jets while they travel on death-trap roads; when they see their rulers sending their kids to expensive schools abroad while they get crappy education, it is only human for them to start operating in a different frequency alas wishing death to the rulers.
Nigeria prayer warriors are to be feared. They are the best prayer warriors in the world. Nigeria rulers should immediately start doing the right thing that will please the Nigerian masses and their prayer warriors. If not, we will hear of more misfortune in the next couple of weeks, months and years ahead. All the rulers should henceforth take note because it will not be funny if the Nigerian prayer warriors are still shouting die, die die!!!
Is there any past or present Nigerian public ruler (or maybe you think should be called a “leader”) that you feel Nigerians should cry for or be proud of when something bad happens to him or her? Let me know your opinion.
May God bless Nigerians and the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Liza Maza, Chairperson, International Women’s Alliance (IWA)
“US TROOPS OUT NOW!” was the resounding call of the delegation of the International Women’s Alliance (IWA) in the People’s Global Camp (PGC) in Denpasar, Bali.
Bali, Indonesia – IWA launched its campaign on the heels of its successful workshop and action at the PGC. “This signals the start of the campaign to flush out US troops in the Asia-Pacific Region and other places of the world where the US has forced itself into.” says Liza Maza, Chairperson of the IWA
In the context of the worsening economic situation that has pushed the world into prolonged crisis, Imperialist nations led by the United States of America are struggling to either open up new avenues to exert their control or strengthen their stranglehold on existing neocolonies. “This renewed push for intervention must be met by intensified struggle of the world’s women” says Maza
With the toolkit, the alliance hopes to unite and intensify existing struggles of women against militarization in the Asia-Pacific. Several papers are contained in the toolkit to help women’s organizations in their campaign against militarization and US Intervention. These papers range from statements, to information kits, and an activist toolkit of suggested activities and actions.#

Meet the S-Class DIGITAL: "Innovation by Intelligence"
Driving enjoyment at the highest level: protected and supported
The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class reaches new levels in terms of intelligence and overall driving experience. The digital innovations such as Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX)1 include new features that make driving even more enjoyable and safer. Additional features that help to make the driving experience more comfortable and safer include rear-axle steering with a large steering angle, and the all-new rear airbag. Furthermore, as a new function of PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side – the vehicle body can be raised just before a side impact thanks to the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension. Following further systematic development, the driver assistance systems are taking a step closer to autonomous driving. With improved environmental sensors, the parking systems provide the driver improved support when maneuvering at low speeds. Additionally, visualization now reaches new levels by virtue of integration into the intuitive operation of MBUX.
Can a luxury sedan with a long wheelbase be almost as maneuverable and agile as a compact car around town? The answer is, yes, if it has all-wheel steering with a large steering angle at the rear axle.
Are more safety innovations even possible in the interior? Yes, as the S-Class demonstrates additional safety innovations with the world’s first rear airbag for severe frontal collisions that deploys from the front seat backrests, extending the protective systems for the two passengers on the outer rear seats.
Can the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension improve not only comfort, but also safety? Yes, in addition to the well- proven PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side system, the new S-Class is able to raise the entire vehicle body immediately before an impending side collision. This can benefit all the occupants.
Can the driver assistance systems be improved even further? Yes, in the new S-Class, Mercedes-Benz takes another big step towards its goal of accident-free driving. The driver is assisted in controlling the vehicle by numerous new and extended driver assistance systems. They thereby have a reduced workload in day-to-day situations, allowing them to drive comfortably and safely. When put in a dangerous situation, the assistance systems are able to help the driver respond to impending collisions as the situation demands, and ideally prevent them. Active Parking Assist and the 360° camera with a new 3D view assist allow the driver to easily and conveniently park, unpark and negotiate tight spaces.
“With the new S-Class we are now proudly presenting the world's first frontal airbag for the passengers in the rear. The rear airbag with an innovative, tubular structure is unique, allowing it to deploy in a gentle manner. Naturally the passengers should continue to fasten their seatbelts, and now with the new, illuminated-design belt buckles, putting on seatbelts is now even more intuitive." Dr. Thomas W. Hellmuth, Head of Body and Safety
"The rear-axle steering makes the S-Class as maneuverable as a compact car. Even for the S-Class with a long wheelbase, the turning radius is reduced to under 36 feet. And thanks to Active Parking Assist with 360° camera, the vehicle can fit into tight parking spaces while monitoring whether anybody is moving within that space. When leaving a space, the S-Class keeps a wary eye out for crossing traffic." Jürgen Weissinger, Chief Engineer S-Class
"If the sensors discover an impending side-on crash, PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side preventatively raises the body by up to 3 inches with the aid of E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL – in this way the impact is directed to particularly resilient structures in the lower part of the vehicle. As another feature celebrating its world premiere, the exit warning function now gives a warning as soon as the driver or front passenger reaches for the door. This is because the MBUX Interior Assistant recognizes when a hand approaches the door handle." Dr. Michael Hafner, Head of Automated Driving
Overview of key features
With five multi-core processors, more than 20 sensors and the use of the stereo camera, the optional E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension responds predictively to different driving situations:
Fully-active suspension on a 48-volt basis, with very wide variation of handling characteristics in the different driving modes
The system's control units analyze the driving situation 1,000 times per second, and adapts the suspension accordingly
E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL regulates the damping and spring forces individually at each wheel, and not only counters body roll, but also pitch and lift
In the COMFORT driving mode, ROAD SURFACE SCAN uses the stereo multi-purpose camera (SMPC) to monitor the road surface ahead of the vehicle. The spring struts are then actuated to greatly reduce body movements when crossing over road bumps
In CURVE driving mode the vehicle actively leans into bends. The leaning function and comfortable suspension setup greatly benefit ride comfort, especially for passengers with a sensitive stomach
E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL enables a new PRE-SAFE® function when a lateral collision is detected (see below)
Thanks to the optional rear-axle steering, the S-Class is as maneuverable as a compact car. The steering angle at the rear axle is up to ten degrees, allowing impressive maneuverability and agility in urban areas. At the same time the handling benefits from a virtual extension of the wheelbase at higher speeds:
With all-wheel steering and a large steering angle at the rear, the turning radius of the S-Class is reduced by up to 7 feet. This gives the long-wheelbase S-Class a turning circle of less than 36 feet
This extraordinary maneuverability and agility is also achieved by combining the rear-axle steering with a more direct front-axle steering ratio
Integrated actuation of the steering and brakes makes handling even more precise and stable in dynamic situations
When opting for this feature, customers have a choice between two variants: one with a rear steering angle of up to ten degrees and one with up to 4.5 degrees
The new S-Class also sets standards where accident safety is concerned:
With a new function of PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side, Mercedes-Benz has now augmented its measures in the pre- impact phase:
When there is a potential for a side impact, the vehicle body can be raised by the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension (optional) within a few tenths of a second. This directs the forces of the impact towards particularly resistant structures in the lower area of the vehicle
The optional new rear airbag is the world's first frontal airbag for the two passengers on the outer rear seats. Its design with an innovative, tubular structure is unique. As a result it deploys especially gently, and in severe frontal collisions it can greatly reduce the loads acting on the heads and necks of the outer rear passengers
The new optional illuminated designer belt buckles are easy to locate. This makes buckling the seatbelt more intuitive
In combination with the MBUX Interior Assistant, a camera can now be used to detect a child seat on the front passenger seat for the first time. A belt fastening message for the child seat appears in the central display before the driver pulls away
The latest generation of the Driver Assistance Package has new and numerous improved functions. For example:
Active Blind Spot Assist:
The exit warning function now gives a warning as soon as the driver or front passenger reach for the door. This is because the MBUX Interior Assistant recognizes when a hand approaches the door handle
A visual warning is given by a red warning triangle in the exterior mirror and via the active ambient lighting
Thanks to improved environmental sensors and integration with MBUX, the parking systems give the driver improved support when maneuvering at low speeds:
Active Parking Assist:
Improved environmental sensors: 12 ultrasonic sensors at the front and rear, with improved performance
Newly developed, comprehensible and simplified user interface, integrated into MBUX, convenient touch control
The positions of road users and objects can be registered reliably and precisely
Emergency braking function when reversing
Integration of the optional rear axle steering, commensurate trajectory planning
Parking package with 360° camera (standard):
Extended environmental sensors, now with sensor fusion: Four additional cameras (front, rear, exterior mirrors)
These enable more available parking spaces to be recognized
Parking spaces defined by lines (not by vehicles) can also be used for automated parking for the first time
The four individual camera images are combined into a three-dimensional image of the vehicle's surroundings. This is shown in the central display with dynamic perspectives
The three-dimensional image can be intuitively rotated around the vehicle as a virtual camera view, and even has a zoom function
Extended side view makes for easier maneuvering near parallel obstacles such as curbs, garage walls, etc.
Automatic braking for pedestrians either forwards or when reversing if Parking Assist is active
Collision prevention around the entire vehicle is possible, while complying with the strict requirements of UNECE R79 for automated parking
Model of the vehicle is calculated in real time
Shows the vehicle status (i.e. indicators, braking)
Reveals visual obstructions (i.e. open doors, folded mirrors)
The major innovations in detail
E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL (optional): Adds semi-supporting hydropneumatics to the air suspension. The air springs bear the base load of the vehicle body and gradually regulate the level. The hydropneumatics generate dynamic forces that overlay the air suspension forces, and actively support and dampen the vehicle body. At each wheel, a damper is installed within the axle whose two working chambers have an adjustable damping valve and a hydraulic pressure reservoir. The damper is connected to an intelligent motor/pump unit in the 48 V network by hydraulic lines. Actuation of the motor/pump unit enables the hydraulic fluid to be displaced to create a difference in pressure within the damper, allowing an active force to be generated. The motor/pump units at all four wheels are coordinated by a central control unit which also actuates the valves and the compressor for the air springs, and therefore always controls the entire suspension system.
Rear airbag (available with the Executive Rear Seat Package): Cylindrical, tubular structures are inflated with compressed gas and deploy a wing-shaped structure. A large, tent-like airbag deploys between the two wings, and this is inflated by the surrounding air via specially patented valves in the skin. These valves are designed so that the air cannot escape when the rear passenger is immersed in the airbag. The comparatively small volume of the tubes allows rapid deployment of a relatively large airbag volume. This takes place with comparatively low force and a low risk of injury, as the tubular wings give way to obstacles. The airbag enhances the restraining effect of the belt system, and can support the head and neck to decrease the loads on them significantly. In combination with a beltbag and the inflatable seatbelt, the S-Class sets new standards for rear seat occupant safety.
Rear-axle steering: An electric motor drives a spindle at the rear axle via a drive belt. This makes axial adjustments to the spindle. Depending on the speed and the steering angle, the rear wheels are turned in the same or the opposite direction as the front wheels (same-direction or counter-direction steering). In simplified terms, this produces more agility and a smaller turning radius through counter-steering and more stability with same-direction steering. In the S- Class, the full steering angle of ten degrees is especially helpful during parking maneuvers. The environmental data of the vehicle sensors (radar, camera, ultrasonic) are used for large steering angles to adapt the maximum angle to the relevant situation. The system switches from counter-direction to same-direction steering at more than 35 mph. The different driving modes rely on different steering strategies. The respective rear-axle angles and trajectories are shown in the driving mode menu in the central display. The 10° rear axle steering has a special snowchain mode. When activated by the driver, the steering angle at the rear axle is reduced and the steering characteristics are adapted for the special conditions of surface snow.
PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side: In addition to the familiar functions, the body of the new S-Class can be slightly raised just before the collision when it senses an impeding side impact. The side-mounted radar sensors are able to recognize and track a potential side crash at an early stage. The actuator is the E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL suspension, which can raise the body upwards by up to 3 inches. This reduces the loads on the door structures, as the door sill can absorb more of the load thanks to its higher position. As a result deformation of the passenger cell and the loads acting on the occupants can be reduced.

Gov. Jon Corzine’s re-election campaign on Saturday released its latest ad, a mixture of pro-Corzine and anti-Chris Christie messages centered around education.
A few notes about the ad:
- The narrator (again a woman) says, “While (Corzine) cut the budget by billions he invested more in public schools.” This year’s state spending is indeed down by billions — $3.9 billion less than the budget adopted in June 2008 for the ’08-’09 fiscal year, though that year’s spending was reduced due to the recession as the months unfolded.
- Regarding that same line from the ad: Direct aid to school districts is increased by $276.5 million to $8.8 billion, but that includes $1.057 billion in federal stimulus aid. Without that money, education aid in the state budget is down by $780 million. In all, the state is spending $2.2 billion from stimulus funds that aren’t reflected in the $29 billion state budget. One other point: Overall K-12 education spending is down by $281 million, even with the stimulus money, because the contribution to the teachers’ pension fund was slashed.
- The narrator says, “But Chris Christie? He’d shift tax dollars for our public schools to private schools.” Christie, like independent Chris Daggett, supports a legislative proposal to grant tax credits to businesses that donate to scholarship/voucher programs that provide money to students in failing schools in certain cities that can be used to pay tuition at other public, private or parochial schools. It wouldn’t directly shift tax dollars away from public schools, though public schools could wind up with less per-pupil aid if their enrollments dropped.
- The narrator says Christie “would reject stimulus funds …” Christie has said he would have opted to reject any stimulus aid that compelled the state to spend money in the future it otherwise wouldn’t have; he’s never been specific about what types of aid that meant, allowing Democrats to interpret it to mean he — as former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin did — would turn down education aid. Having said that, much of the $2 billion in education aid that has strings attached (as measured by the nonpartisan Office of Legislative Services) has already been accepted for FY09 and FY10, meaning Christie couldn’t reject those even if he’s elected. Some of that stimulus will remain for FY11, however, and there may be additional stimulus aid coming from Washington.
- The narrator continues, “… forcing layoffs of up to 35,000 teachers.” Here’s how that math works from the Corzine campaign: $2 billion in aid, at an average teacher salary in New Jersey of $57,000, equals 35,000 teachers. Here’s why that number’s not accurate: That presumes the entire impact on education spending, should that $2 billion not be available, would translate to layoffs of teachers, even though teachers’ salaries and benefits account for just 58 percent of school spending statewide. Moreover, the calculation doesn’t account for the reduced spending on benefits that would result from layoffs; it would take less than 35,000 cuts to get to $2 billion. And finally, the $2 billion is being spent over three years, not all in one year. So there would be accumulated savings from each separate layoff over time.
- In documentation in support of the ad, the Corzine campaign says: “Even with stimulus funds, thousands of teachers in other states were laid off in dozens of other states because of plummeting state and local revenue.” Here’s a review of the federal stats for New Jersey: In the last four months, the number of government jobs in the state has declined by a seasonally adjusted 9,900, including 8,700 in local government — apparently, the data suggests, entirely in the schools.
