Marketing to consultants can be a confusing task for institutional investment managers. Answers to even basic questions such as "what are consultants looking for?", "what products should we emphasize?", and "how do we navigate the process?" are not always obvious. We have found that successfully marketing to consultants boils down to passing three screens. Organizing your thinking around these three screens, which are profiled below, gives you a simple roadmap to follow for your consultant marketing program. Do we know how consultants view our organization and their perception of our firm's strengths and weaknesses? Are we doing the right things to build a positive marketplace perception of our firm? Have changes taken place at our firm that raise organizational questions? If so, how have we responded? Are we clearly conveying the appealing aspects of our compensation program? Do we know what the basic prerequisites are for our products to be competitive? Are we wasting valuable time and energy promoting products that have not attained basic prerequisites to compete? Are the products that we are emphasizing the right ones? Should we be focusing our product line more than we are? Are we explaining our investment approach in an understandable and memorable manner? Are we conveying a unique investment "edge" that we can repeatedly exploit? Can we get people to say "that's the way we want our money managed"? Eager, Davis & Holmes can help you improve your ability to pass the Organization 101, Product 101, and Product 102 Screens. If you have questions or issues that you would like to discuss with us, we would be glad to conference with you. Our Consultant Survey's produce the most helpful feedback possible. First, we get feedback from your custom list of targeted consultants - not a general group of consultants who may not know your firm. Second, participating consultants provide feedback on your firm exclusively - not dozens of managers at the same time. This allows participating consultants to give detailed, thoughtful responses.

Students spend their lunch writing and selling poems for fundraiser. Valentine’s Day is a day full of thoughtful, loving gestures, and the advanced creative writing class (ACW) helped spread the love at South this year. But due to the number of snow days received the weeks of January 28 and February 4, the ACW had only days to prepare. The class created a fundraiser for their annual trip to Mackinac Island, where it participates in a slam poetry competition for the first time this year. The event was a surprising success, raising close to $600 according to teacher and advisor Harry Campion. The class generated a personal Valentine’s Day Poetry order form, which included; the relationship status, the type of poem and a few details to be celebrated about the individual in the poem. Prices ranged from $2 to $20, with Haiku being the least expensive, and a Sonnet being the most. “We have a slip that people fill out to help personalize the poems, but each poem is its own, unique poem that isn’t even remotely similar from others, which is awesome,” Joëlle Reich ’19 said. The class was surprised to see the excitement of the students and put in a lot of work to prepare for the writing and delivery of the poetry Campion said. According to Reich, the time the students spent constructing the poems are shown in the thoughtfulness and personalization that was necessary to create unique poems. Reich said she was surprised to see the number of sonnets that were requested, but they are happy to continue writing and delivering the poems. Bridget Keane ’20 purchased a Haiku poem during 1st lunch. Garcia said he hopes that he can continue with the fundraiser next year and make it an annual fundraiser for the class. This story was originally published on The Tower on February 14, 2019.

The Ethical Traveler Podcast is Live! Any writer who has applied for a residency at a writer’s colony knows the process is expensive, time-consuming and competitive, not to mention fairly inflexible, schedully speaking. So it might surprise some readers that I’ve had writing retreats in Mozambique, Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Hanoi, Osaka, Kuala Lumpur and Ajijic, Mexico. It’s that time of year again: Get ready for Book Passage’s annual Travel Writers and Photographers Conference, from August 10-13 in Corte Madera, CA. Legendary travel writer Tim Cahill, acclaimed author Karen Joy Fowler, and guidebook maven Pauline Frommer are just a few of the incredible names Book Passage has assembled for faculty this year. Here’s the full list. I’m thrilled to announce the impending launch of my new collection of travel stories, Your Crocodile has Arrived. I learned a lot when I launched my first collection of travel stories, Lost, Kidnapped, Eaten Alive! in 2014. I kept notes about best practices so I wouldn’t forget all that important info, and they’ve come in handy now that I’m launching my second book, Your Crocodile has Arrived. There’s a lot to plan, prepare, and organize! If you’d like access to suggested activities and timing for a book launch, head over to BookLaunch.US, where I’ve consolidated and organized the information. I hope it’s as helpful to you as it has been to me. “You can have the most stunning subject to photograph in the most gorgeous lighting, but if you don’t take care to compose the shot well, no amount of good light and inherent beauty will prevent the image from being a dud.” Fortunately, Alex Schult gives us 10 Rules to Follow When Composing a Photo, illustrated by … his excellent photos. On Travel, Write, Earn, James Durston interviews Lola Akinmade Åkerström—photographer and author—on how to pitch a travel article. “Lola put together 87 pitches during 2016,” Durston writes, “with a 43% success/assigned rate.” Here’s her analysis of assignments, rejections, and everything in between. Those are impressive results, as one would expect from a writer disciplined and generous enough to keep track of all her own stats, analyze them, and share what she learned. Thanks, Lola! More info: on the website. With an indoor slide, an outdoor swimming pool, a butterfly sanctuary, and free cinema 24/7, Singapore’s Changi Airport is sometimes marketed as its own destination. Part of the reason is customer feedback, in the form of 1.8 million clicks/month. Another excellent idea: The complimentary whisky tasting bar with more than 100 brands. And the gardens: 5 themed ones, with more than 150 gardeners keeping it green. Dave Dean at Too Many Adapters explains how to back up your travel photos taken with a DSLR—without dragging a laptop into the equation, and even if you don’t have a fancy new camera with built-in wi-fi. This science-backed advice about how to get the most from your vacation includes widely reported strategies such as the importance of antici …… pation of future activities and savoring good times. It also includes something called the “Peak-End” Rule, which, believe it or not, comes from colonoscopy research. Good news for anyone who’s dreamed of visiting Nepal! My friend Jeff Greenwald (who wrote Shopping for Buddhas, The Size of the World and other books) and Laurie Wagner (author and inspiring Bay Area writing teacher) are leading a “Himalayan Writers’ Workshop” in Kathmandu in March. It’ll be 10 days of amazing sights, mind-bending encounters and flash writing. It’s filling up quickly. If you think you might be interested, check it out here (or just check out all the nice photos on the site). And sign up soon—March is just around the corner! Connie Hale, director of the Mokule‘ia Writers Retreat, has announced the dates for 2017: This year’s retreat will take place May 7–12. A manuscript workshop for those who are working on long essays or book-length projects and have a manuscript ready to workshop. Intensive poetry and fiction workshops are scheduled in the afternoons. Details about cost and lodging can be found on the website. Happy New Year! Due to travel schedules we are unable to host our first Weekday Wanderlust of 2017 this month, but we’re bringing it to you on Thursday, February 2—just in time to wave at January in the rear view mirror! Can’t tell your Devanagari from your Gurmukhi? Here’s an article from The Week that will help you identify Asian, African, and Middle Eastern alphabets at a glance. April 24, 2016 | Comments Off on Taking a break…. My current labor of love is a new book, which I’m very excited about. Like Lost, Kidnapped, Eaten Alive!, it’s a collection of true stories of travel around the world. Because I need time to focus on that project, I won’t be updating Travel Writers News for awhile. In the meantime, please feel free to continue to access the information here; some of it continues to be useful. And thanks for your interest and enthusiasm!

Considering that initially HR personnel only spend approximately 10-20 seconds on a resume, the shorter your resume, the most desirable it is. Aim for one page. Of course, it is sometimes impossible to create such a short resume. You might have to include a second page because you have way too much information regarding your work experience, accomplishments, etc. In this case, make sure that you list the most relevant information within the upper half of the first page because that is the section that gets looked at first. This way, these important insights will surely be noticed. Remember, a sloppy presentation is almost a guarantee that your resume will end up in the circular file even if you have all the qualifications in the world. Many resume writers suggest starting a resume with an objective. I object to that (no pun intended). Objectives are useless because they are self-centered. Whereas the objective tells the employer only what you want to do, the power statement goes further in highlighting not only the job you are seeking but also your major achievements. The power statement showcases what you can do for the company. Begin your sentences with action verbs for added punch and to express a sense of accomplishment. For a FREE list of action verb, please e-mail Rita Fisher at RitaFisher55@comcast.net with “Action Verb List” in the subject line. Use specifics such as numbers, percentages, figures and facts. What every employer wants to know when reading your resume is what’s in it for them. Employers are looking for people who will solve their problems. You have to present your case accordingly. What kind of problems did you solve on the job? How did you do the job differently and better than the person before you did? Did you introduce a new program or system? What were you most proud of in your job? What would your supervisor and your co-workers say they would miss most about you when you leave? How did you make a difference in your job? How did you affect the company’s bottom line? Did you save money for the company? How much? Did you earn money for the company? How much?

Of all the things that I miss here in Kolkata the place that is in top 10 is the colorbar store of saket. Ohh how I had the access to all the Colorbar’s latest stuffs and now I will have to wait 6 months and even after that I might not be getting the stuffs that others are happily using in Delhi *super sad*. Anyways when I was arranging my stuffs here I say this and I realized this is in my drafts for such a long time – have to review it now! So, say hello to Colorbar Honeymoon Peach. I do not know if we are supposed to eat Peaches in honeymoon or look like a peach in honeymoon but I had to buy this though I was thinking the price was too much when the SA applied it on my face and I said – Ohh I look beautiful! This brings a nice glow to my face. Showers of flash powder particles reflect like prism. Silky, light, exequisite fresh colors that easily create fantastic surge of delightful textures and most fashionable charm of smoked makeup whether monochrome or color use. May have the effects of magic. Provides radiant, healthy looking effect - Yes! Yes! Yes! This is the reason I got this. My skin looks radiant with the slightest application of this product. A single swirl with brush and a light application on your face and you have the most natural looking healthy skin. Very Pigmented - Yes. I end up applying a little bit more when I am not careful. Lightweight - True. I hardly feel something on my skin. Can even apply on in this hot weather! Easy to blend - Yes. Long Lasting - Hell Yeah! If I apply it in the morning then I have always find it on my face while removing makeup at night. Multifuntional can be used like blusher, eye shadow, bronzer or a highlighter - Well I do not agree much on this. There are different shades which might act that way but not this one. NOTE - Each pan looks different even for the same color. Try getting the one in which the bronze and the peach are distinct so that you can apply as a bronzer if required. Light peachy texture with loads of super tiny shimmer and some chunky glitter as well. I really love this product as its really easy to apply and blend. Last really long on me so me doing a happy dance here! At 750 INR for 9gm its really a economical product if you look at the bigger picture (pun intended). I am sure I will not be even make a proper dent on this. Remember to get the ones in which the peach and the bronze is distinct or else you cannot use it in multiple ways. oh i love this thing! I'm a sucker for Baked stuff- baked beans,fresh baked cinnabons and baked blushes :D This one looks glorious!

Today in the blogtober challenge we are finding out the place I would most like to visit. This is quite a difficult one as there are so many places I would love to go to. The one place I have chosen, which we have talked about going to for so long is Iceland and to see the Northern Lights. Daughter would love to go and so we are now waiting until she is hopefully well enough to go with us, so she can enjoy the whole experience. Iceland, is such a beautiful country and the northern lights (if you are lucky to witness them) are out of this world, and something I really hope we see when we finally get to visit. Also, you can not forget the Blue Lagoon, a natural spa pool where you can relax and cover yourself in mud. I will get to Iceland one day, maybe next year if we can fit it in, as we are all ready booked to go to Cape Verde in April and hopefully Thailand in September, with maybe a cruise in August. Where would be the one place you would like to visit? Olivia from The Float Spa says ‘natural spa pools and mud treatments are a perfect way to relieve the pain and stress of day-to-day life. I’ve always wanted to see the Northern Lights. There was a night where they could be seen from central Scotland, where I live, and I completely missed it! We’d love to head to lapland and see the Northern Lights, especially at this time of year. The blue lagoon gets my vote to, I bet it’s amazing and I need a bit of me time!

Between 2010 and 2012, the management of the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) will include a Finn for the first time, Professor Dan-Olof Riska. For Riska, the new vice chairperson of the CERN administrative council, the appointment means even more frequent visits to the headquarters of CERN in Geneva. “For a small member country like Finland, CERN provides opportunities for high-quality, internationally competitive teamwork and training,” Riska points out. The Large Hadron Collider, launched in November, set a new energy record for particle showers in a few weeks. In mid-February, the LHC will be re-launched for actual research work after the winter stoppage. “We can except new research results at the end of the year. The collider is a prototype, which means that its operations constitute a large technical challenge,” says Riska. CERN has 20 member countries. Moreover, six countries have applied for membership. The administrative council's chairpeople, along with the operative management, are in charge of CERN's external relations. Riska holds a doctoral degree in technology. At the beginning of his career, he started as a researcher in theoretical physics, and has worked as a professor in physics at Michigan State University and the University of Helsinki, among other places. Riska's main duty is to direct the Helsinki Institute of Physics, which takes care of the cooperation between Finland and CERN. Over 10,000 researchers from around the globe participate in the research work at CERN. CERN investigates the basic structure of matter, that is, elementary particles and their interaction.

Record snowfall hit Erie, Pa. this week after the area saw 53 inches of snow over the last two days. The snowfall was even captured on an incredible time-lapse video. The video shows very few people and even fewer cars. Those who do venture out struggle in the high snow. The footage also shows a haze of white as the snow continues to fall and it piles up on the ground. The massive snowfall marked the largest two-day total in the state of Pennsylvania, according to the Associated Press. The area saw 34 inches on Monday alone before another 19 inches Tuesday brought it to the 54-inch record breaking snowfall. The previous record was set in 1954 in Morgantown, Pa., which brought 44 inches of snow over two days.

Complacency can kill. Whether it’s something as mundane as not wearing a seat belt while driving or not wearing body armor during a high-risk entry, failure to take preventive measures can have disastrous results. The same is true when it comes to securing a law-enforcement vehicle. Although news reports of police patrol vehicles being stolen are not common, it happens more often than you might imagine – and the results have deadly potential. While many police vehicle thefts simply end with the unit damaged, it’s not difficult to imagine a stolen unit driven by a fleeing felon running down civilians. And if that happens, the affected department is practically guaranteed to be named in a lawsuit. Worse, because a police car grants the driver almost instant access to high-security areas, terrorists would love to get their hands on one. Their visibility – and the implication that they represent law enforcement – makes police vehicles attractive targets to some criminals. An unmarked SWAT unit might, for example, contain an abundance of weapons and tactical gear that would be a huge score on the streets. Others might simply see the police unit as the nearest means of escape or even a joy ride. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, a car is stolen somewhere in the United States once every 27 seconds. Granted, this statistic is for civilian vehicles, but the alarming fact is that law enforcement vehicles are also vulnerable to theft. For the police, there’s an added pain to car theft: it’s embarrassing for the affected department as well as the individual officer. So what can an officer or department do to make sure their vehicles remain in their control? As with civilian vehicle theft prevention, a number of steps can be taken to prevent unauthorized personnel from driving off in a black-and-white. Many departments feel that locking vehicles and not having “take-home” cars cuts the possibility of theft. True, it does, but there are more than a few instances of locked vehicles being broken into and stolen. In Maryland, two departments lost one patrol car each on the same day. In both cases, the officers were off duty, and the vehicles were locked. Both were recovered within hours. One, an unmarked car, had been hot-wired after the thief pried the passenger door open to gain access. However, most reports of stolen police vehicles involve suspects who manage to get into a unit that the officer has left unattended, either to take a report or chase someone. An Ohio woman was arrested, handcuffed, and placed in the back seat of a patrol car; all four doors were locked. Nonetheless, while the arresting officer and others gathered evidence, she managed to slip her hands from behind her back, underneath her feet, and in front of her. She then crawled through the dividing window and proceeded to drive off. Officers caught her when she crashed the car a short distance later. In Texas, a man walked up to a sheriff’s deputy sitting in a patrol car and asked for a ride. When the deputy rolled down his window to respond, the suspect managed to enter the vehicle, scuffle with the deputy, and drag him out. The suspect then drove away in the patrol car, though authorities caught him shortly afterward. The moral of these stories is that official cars are indeed theft targets. And they’re not only targets; they’re soft targets. One of the reasons it’s so easy to steal a police car is that many officers need to keep their units running almost non-stop through a shift, whether in the cars or not. Turning the engine off will quickly drain the vehicle’s battery because of the power demands created by emergency lights and communications systems. Also, depending on local weather, it can be a necessity to keep the air-conditioner or heater running. And with the proliferation of communication systems, laptops, and other computers in patrol vehicles, turning off the engine often means you’ve got to power down those instruments, then go through the sometimes inconvenient rebooting procedure – not to mention the need to keep electronic devices within a fairly narrow temperature range. Consequently, there is certainly a need to secure vehicles from unauthorized use, whether they’re attended or not. But what can the individual officer or department do? Agencies are using a number of solutions to combat theft of police vehicles. The simplest and least expensive option is establishing procedures that require officers to treat the vehicles as the average civilian would a personal car. That means the officer is required to lock it and take the key upon leaving the vehicle. For some agencies, this simple solution is impractical, but others can live with it. “I m old-fashioned; I turn the cruiser off and lock it.” says an Ohio officer. Of course, it s hard to leave a vehicle running and prevent battery drain when you use this security procedure. One Arizona agency offers another variation on this concept by ordering its vehicles keyed alike. The standard procedure is for officers to call when leaving the vehicle, requesting that backup secure it, often by moving it. Obviously, having all units keyed alike makes this possible, even if the first responder leaves the key in the running car and locks the doors. High-tech theft prevention devices essentially take one of two approaches to making life hard on car thieves. They stop the theft or they help the authorities track the vehicle once it has been stolen. Some departments install GPS-linked tracking systems or LoJack devices to keep track of vehicles, but this rarely prevents them from being taken in the first place. These locate the vehicle after a theft. They can also be useful should an officer be unable to communicate his location (due to injury, radio malfunction, lack of time, etc.) and need assistance. LoJack and similar technologies are great, but they fail to address the potential for an unauthorized person getting into the vehicle and driving it away, especially when the engine is left running with the doors unlocked. Stopping this problem requires a more sophisticated solution, and fortunately, several are available. Tremco Police Products produces a Police Package Anti-theft System that works. Available for practically any police service vehicle, it plugs into the standard electrical wiring harness and then requires the installation of a few switches. Once installed, the Tremco system activates whenever the transmission is placed into park; no other switch needs to be pressed. Whether the engine is running or not, the shift lever cannot be shifted out of park unless a hidden foot switch is pressed, sounding a small buzzer that indicates deactivation of the anti-theft system. For those times when civilians might need to operate the vehicle (the mechanic at a local garage, a car wash attendant, etc.), the Tremco system features a hidden bypass switch that turns the entire system off so the car operates normally. The system is deactivated when turned over to a citizen, and reactivated when returned to the officer. Tremco claims its system usually takes 15 minutes or less to install, and it can easily be done by anyone with normal tools and some mechanical aptitude. The cost is $89 per vehicle. When considering the potential liability – not to mention the embarrassment – of stolen law-enforcement vehicles, installing an anti-theft device of some type becomes a no-brainer. Of course, one type of patrol vehicle seems to be immune to theft: the K-9 unit. For some reason, most people think twice about trying to heist a car that has a built-in set of teeth accompanied by vicious barking. But these are a small percentage of officers. As a fleet manager, you need to take precautions and consider technology that can prevent a police unit from leaving without the assigned officer. Every year, police cruisers are stolen throughout the United States. It happens everywhere, from major cities to small rural communities. Usually, the media coverage rarely extends beyond a city’s local newspaper. For example, two police cars were recently stolen in Fort Worth in separate incidents during a two-week period. Neither case resulted in national headlines, but they both involved weapons being fired and officers’ lives being put on the line. The first case involved a female driver who led officers on a one hour pursuit that continued into the next county. The second incident involved a male who was arrested and placed in the back of a cruiser. He slipped the cuffs from the back to the front, crawled through the sliding glass window and into the driver’s seat. At that time, two officers ran up to the cruiser. Neither officer was seriously hurt. One was treated at the scene and the other was taken to a local hospital where he was released within a few hours. The Fort Worth Police Department was fortunate in both incidents. Not all police departments are as lucky. These situations often end in accidents, injuries and deaths. Such was the case in March in Adel, GA. A homeless man stole a police car that was left running while two officers investigated a burglary. The man tried to run over the officers twice with the car, but they escaped injury- and possibly death- by taking shelter under a log trailer. One of the officers fired at the car’s tire with his weapon as the vehicle raced towards them, but the shot missed. None of the officers involved in any of these incidents were at fault. They all followed proper procedure, which entails leaving a patrol car running. The problem with this policy is anyone can enter the vehicle, put the shifter in gear and take off. Few pursuits are called off when a stolen police car is involved. After all, a suspect is fleeing in a high-performance vehicle that generally contains a shotgun. This perpetrator also has access to lights and sirens, and can monitor the police radio. The result is a major liability issue: if the stolen cruiser results in a death, everybody will question it; the media will be relentless. Attorneys for parties adversely affected by events involving stolen patrol cars have recently started looking at this issue as preventable, especially with today’s technologically advanced anti-theft devices. More law enforcement agencies are being held accountable for damage, injuries and deaths as the result of these incidents. In Columbus, OH, a citizen’s car was damaged when two boys driving a stolen police car plowed into it. The boys took the cruiser when an officer left the vehicle running with the lights on and went to back up another officer. Initially, the Columbus Division of Police denied the claim under Ohio’s immunity law, which protects a city from liability when officers are responding to emergency, urgent or dangerous situations. The decision was overturned, however, and the department was found liable and ordered to pay all damages. Emergency runs, rapid departure and immunity no longer protect agencies from liability. Everything and everyone has more accountability, which is why more departments are evaluating their current procedures and looking at anti-theft equipment. Paradise Valley, AZ, police Sergeant Bruce Barrows was directing traffic around an accident he encountered one morning to the west of Phoenix. He was shocked when he looked back toward his own car and saw it being stolen by one of the drivers involved in the accident. The incident began when Barrows was en route to a meeting. On the way, he saw the crash, blocked the lane with his semi-marked police car and turned on the red and blue lights mounted in his rear window. While waiting for Arizona Department of Public Safety officers to arrive, Barrows began directing traffic around the crash scene. Not long after, he realized his car was being stolen. Within minutes, another crash was reported not far down the freeway. Sure enough, it was the suspect in the Paradise Valley police. The suspect slammed into another car, rolling it over and forcing it onto the shoulder of the road. The police car sustained extensive front-end damage. The driver of the other car suffered serious, but not life-threatening, injuries. The suspect wormed out of the stolen vehicle and began running through a nearby field, where he was soon apprehended. Stolen police cars are not a problem isolated to high-density inner- city areas. In some ways, it can be more dangerous to have a patrol car stolen in a less populated region than an urban area. The officer is left stranded miles away from anything without a vehicle, radio or backup. He may even be injured and in need of emergency medical care. Incidents involving stolen cruisers have been making headlines since the assassination squad involved in the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre drove to and from the grisly murder scene in a stolen police car. “Baby Face” Nelson once escaped capture during a bloody shootout by stealing a law enforcement agent’s car. One such device that prevents patrol cars from being stolen is the Tremco Police Package Anti-Theft System. When an officer pulls up to an emergency and places the shifter into park, the device automatically activates. A would-be thief cannot pull the shifter out of the park position. Upon returning to the vehicle, however, the officer can deactivate the system and be on his way. During the past 17 years, this inexpensive police tool has protected thousands of agency vehicles from the liability of pursuits, fatalities, damage to vehicles and loss of weapons. Tremco’s device is the only system sold exclusively to law enforcement agencies and not civilians or other industries. Users include more than half of all highway patrol and state police agencies, as well as the FBI, DEA, and ATF. Not one law enforcement vehicle containing a Tremco device has ever been stolen, even though numerous attempts have been made over the years. The device’s camouflage system blends in with surrounding components inside the vehicle. In the event a civilian at a garage or car wash must operate a cruiser, the system has a switch that allows the officer to turn off the device. Tremco is constantly updating its products and technology, and has developed easy-to-install plug-in systems for all makes and models of all police-package vehicles. As far as installation, the system simply plugs into existing harnesses. It does not void the existing vehicle manufacturer warranties because no wires are cut of spliced. The complete installation is safe and quick- about ten minutes. Another type of anti-theft device is manufactured by Secure-Idle. With this system, when an officer stops the vehicle, presses a button and then takes the key out of the ignition, the car’s engine keeps running but the steering column locks up and the shifter can’t be moved. According to Christensen, “In most cases involving stolen police cars, the keys were left in the ignition with the doors unlocked while the officers were performing their duties. Our system takes only one second to activate and it prevents anyone from stealing the car. Plus, you won’t lock yourself out of your vehicle and no duplicate keys are necessary. Secure-Idle recently developed a plug-in version for several different Ford models. The unit goes under the dash and takes ten minutes to install. In order for the system to be installed on other makes and models at this time, however, wires must be cut. Considering the number of law enforcement vehicles stolen each year, Tremblay said, “Criminals are more brazen than ever before. If you haven’t lost a patrol car yourself, you probably know somebody who has.” For more information, contact Tremco Police Products at (888) 666-3031 and Secure-Idle at (630) 215-7777. Perhaps it looks like a scene from an action movie. Cpl. Gene Strickland of the Tampa (Florida) Police Department was on a traffic stop interviewing a truck driver when he was struck by his own cruiser. A cocaine addict, not involved with the traffic stop until then, had decided to jump in Strickland’s running vehicle and use it as a weapon against Strickland. “I got knocked up onto the hood of the car and I was holding on by the windshield wiper blades,” Strickland recalls. “We went down the road a short distance with me on the hood.” Strickland shot the driver through the windshield. The driver was hit three times and bailed out of the car as he was being shot, leaving Strickland on the hood of a driverless car. The vehicle stopped, Strickland was underneath it. He had a lot of bruisers but nothing was broken and more importantly, he was still alive. Strickland looked for something to help prevent this from happening again. A couple of years ago, he heard about anti-theft systems from Trem Products Company in Bedford, Massachusetts. He now has an integrated (automatically activated) anti-theft system from Trem Products Company installed in his vehicle. “I can literally bail out of my car and chase somebody and the car can be left running and no one can steal the car,” he says. Trem Products Company sells its anti-theft systems to law enforce ment under a product line called Tremco Police Products. While the anti-theft systems, especially the automatically activated systems, are easy to operator for officers, they are no joy ride for criminals. A criminal looking to hop into a police vehicle and escape quickly will find himself stuck in park because he can’t move the shifter. Upon returning to the car, an officer can deactivate the system and be on his way in a second. Although the systems also prevent vehicles that are not running from being stolen, they originally were designed to keep unattended running vehicles from being stolen. Patrol vehicles need to be left running for various reasons whether it’s to operate emergency equip ment without draining the battery, to keep the windows defrosted or to keep a canine waiting in the backseat from getting overheated. “When you’re out interviewing suspects or assisting someone and your back’s to the vehicle, it’s very easy for someone to just slip in the car, throw it in drive and take off,” says Thomas Larkum, fleet manager for the Town of West Hartford (Connecticut) Police Department. The Town of West Hartford has equipped its 27 marked Ford Crown Victorias with integrated anti-theft systems. Virginia State Police garage manager Wayne Cosner agrees, “If you’ve never had one of your cars stolen, you’re lucky.” The Virginia State Police has equipped about 1,600 marked and unmarked Crown Victorias and Chevrolet Caprices with integrated anti-theft systems. The Town of West Hartford has been using anti-theft systems since 1991. Virginia has been using anti-theft systems since 1992. Neither Larkum nor Cosner say a vehicle has been stolen when an anti-theft system was activated. There are three anti-theft systems available from Tremco Products Company. Expedition. A third system, the Police Smart System, is available for vehicles that don’t come in police packages. Typically, these vehicles are used as undercover vehicles and don’t need to be left running but they need a good, foolproof anti-theft system. The Police Smart System is smart enough to be used in just about any vehicle – even boats. This system is automatic, but unlike the other two systems, it does not work when the car is running. It is activated when the vehicle is in park and turned off. About one-third of the state agencies, as well as town, city, county and federal agencies have included a Tremco anti-theft in their vehicle specifications as standard equipment, says Mark Tremblay, vice president of Trem Products Company. The most popular of the three systems used in the United States, Canada and South America is the integrated system because it goes on every time the vehicle is in the parked position, Tremblay says. “In a high-adrenaline situation, there’s no time for an officer to activate an anti-theft system before he gets out of the car. He may have other priorities like un-holstering his weapon at that time,” he says. Larkum says the integrated system offers peace of mind for the officer when he gets out of his car and leaves his vehicle running. The Dracut Police Department in Dracut, Massachusetts, is one department that has seen an anti-theft system prevent a car from being stolen. An anti-theft system from Tremco Products Company stopped a 22-year-old man who had crashed his body through the windows of two homes and then kicked and bit two police officers. “This person was on some type of drugs,” says chief Louis Panas of the Dracut Police Department in Dracut, Massachusetts. “It took three people to finally control him. If he could have moved the shifter out of park, he would have been gone. “I think it’s a good idea to have this type of safety device in a cruiser so this type of incident doesn’t occur because it can be very costly. It’s not only the cruiser being stolen, it’s all the equipment too. By the time you’re through, there’s a lot of money invested in the cruiser and all of a sudden it’s gone. Criminals who do escape in a police car have an unfair advantage. They speed away in a high-performance vehicle with sirens sounding and lights flashing and the chase is on. They can hear on the radio what law enforcement is trying to do to stop them. Commanding officers who may feel personally violated because one of their cars was taken may be reluctant to call off the chase. Their embarrassment may make them reluctant to notify other agencies and seek help. In perhaps a worst case scenario, an officer is left stranded without a vehicle or communications and his nearest backup is 100 or so miles away. Or he could be run over by his own vehicle. And hat if there are firearms in the trunk or the vehicle stolen is an unmarked SWAT van full of weapons and ammunition? A police vehicle doesn’t get stolen every day. But when it happens, it can be a major catastrophe. Having anti-theft systems installed not only protects vehicles that are running, the systems also protect vehicles that are not running. If the vehicle is not in use and the keylock is destroyed, the shifter will not release. Cosner says an anti-theft system is pretty cheap insurance. The system is under $100. Making a product that is inexpensive to buy, easy to install and easy to use, yet hard to break was what Tremblay set out to do 17 years ago. He bought the idea to his father, Ted, the founder and the President of Tremco Products Company, and the senior Tremblay came up with the design. of wires. It plugs into an existing harness, plus it into the anti-theft system and take the other plug of the anti-theft system and plug it where the existing harness was. Ground current is redirected to the shifter solenoid to operator the system, so the system does not take away battery current needed to operate radios, heaters, air conditioners, defrosters, emergency lights and other equipment. the Police Smart system are turned on or off with a floor piece. One uses the floor piece to release the shift lever out of the park position. The other uses the floor piece to start the vehicle. how the system are installed. In the event that a squad car must be operated by a civilian at a car wash or a garage, the systems have a switch to allow the unit to be turned off. “Nobody in the car will know that it’s there unless somebody tells them it’s there,” Cosner says. specifications. As the popularity of the systems increases, will the secret of how the systems work get out into the public? Then what? If a department is concerned that the secret has gotten out, Tremblay says the location of the activation switch can be changed. Perhaps reluctant to try a new product, many have tried to come up with a scenario in which an anti-theft system wouldn’t be useful. Strickland won’t forget the day he was injured by his own cruiser. It’s not a performance he wants to repeat. “It’s quite a comfort to me knowing that my car is going to be there when I get back,” Strickland says. Texas County Progress – Feb. 1999 It doesn’t happen every day, but when it does, the consequences can be disastrous. A law enforcement vehicle is stolen from a parking lot. A running cruiser is stolen by an unseen perpetrator at a crime scene. Teenagers finagle a police car and go for a joy ride. Several years ago in North Philadelphia, an unmarked state police car was stolen while a trooper was visiting relatives. On 24-hour call, the trooper was a member of the state’s strategic emergency team and the trunk of the vehicle contained a grenade launcher, tear-gas grenades, a sub-machine gun, a .357-caliber revolver, two shotguns, ammunition, rappelling hooks and other equipment used to scale buildings. When the car was found about two hours later, the contents of the trunk were missing. In Fort Worth at another time, a police officer was alerted that a man with a gun had commandeered a pickup that would soon be passing his location. Waiting on the shoulder, the pickup pulled in behind the cruiser and the surprised officer left his car running as he went to talk to he men in the cab. The perpetrator was laying flat in the bed of the truck and when the officer told him to show himself, the man jumped up and waved some sort of ax or hatchet. The officer jumped out of the way, and the suspect bolted into the squad car. With lights flashing, he sped away. A five-mile, high-speed chase ended when the cruiser crashed into the concrete supports of a bridge and the vehicle exploded. Shift into Gear Law enforcement vehicles are often left running in emergency conditions. An officer or deputy speeds to the scene and doesn’t have a moment to spare as he gets out of the vehicle and handles the situation. Cars are also left running at the scene of accidents when cruisers are occupies by prisoners or passengers – especially in extreme weather when the heater of air conditioner must be operated. To allow officers the flexibility and choice to leave an automobile running or not, one solution is an anti-theft system. Sold only to responsible state and local law enforcement agencies, Tremco Police Products makes a system that activates automatically, protecting the vehicle from theft – would-be thieves cannot pull the shifter out of the “park” position. When the officer returns to the vehicle, he or she deactivates the system and is on the way in a heartbeat. The system also provides 24-hour protection for vehicles not in service. If the vehicle is not in use, the shifter will not release, even if the keylock is destroyed. Although they’ve never had a vehicle stolen, several vehicles in the Wilson County sheriff’s department are outfitted with the anti-theft gadgets. Prevents vehicle theft when the engine is left running. Blends in with surrounding components for camouflage effect. Plugs into existing harnesses on police package vehicles. with total disregard for our laws and human life. These individuals often have the light and sirens blaring, while listening to the police radio to avoid roadblocks, tire deflation devices, or any other countermeasures. The situation quickly becomes your future nightmare. In Brandenburg, KY, police officers handcuffed a drunk-driving suspect behind it back, placed him in a cruiser and put the seat belt across him. The suspect was secure when the officers left him to search his car. Somehow, the suspect climbed into the front seat of the patrol car and drove off at high speeds with the cruiser’s lights flashing. He traveled nearly seven miles before crossing the centerline and crashing head-on into an oncoming car. Both drivers were instantly killed. The driver of the other vehicle was a 57-year-old woman returning home from a visit with her daughter and her two grandchildren, ages 13 and 4. The crash occurred only a few miles from the woman’s home. In Pompano Beach, FL, a car thief was placed under arrest with his hands cuffed behind his back and then put in the back seat of a police car. The vehicle was left running to keep air conditioning and emergency lights functioning. As deputies were outside the police car completing their paperwork, this subject got from the back seat of the police car to the front. This subject then floored the accelerator and drove the police car toward the officers driving with his knees. A Broward Sheriffs officer, fearing for his life, fired his weapon at the subject behind the wheel of the oncoming vehicle. The suspect received a single bullet wound to to the chest and continued to drive for 12 blocks as the police car sideswiped another vehicle before it crashed into a condominium complex. stole their police car changed the handling methods of this prisoner. Enough said about this incident. leaves agencies open to liability and officers vulnerable. cold days or very hot days. They must also leave their cruisers running unattended to provide power for the emergency lighting, computers, radios, heaters, air conditioners, and defrosters. to immediately. They can’t fumble with keys or codes. Whenever someone steals a police car the agency faces liability, lawsuits, damaged vehicles, lost weapons, or worse. More and more attorneys are looking at the liability involved and they are looking at this issue as preventable with today’s technology. During the past 15 years, inexpensive devices have become available that prevent unauthorized personnel from driving off with your cruiser. Unique camouflage anti-theft systems blend in with the vehicle’s surrounding components. anti-theft system is automatically activated. Prisoners, drunks and other unauthorized individuals are not able to shift the vehicle out of park. Law enforcement personnel, however, can quickly and easily deactivate the system and rapidly depart. These devices also give 24-hour protection to vehicles when not in service, at the station or with take-home policy. If the key lock is destroyed, the shifter will not release. it does not void the existing vehicle manufacturer warranties. Without a doubt, it is necessary for officers to secure their vehicles at all times. In the real world, this is impossible unless the vehicles are equipped with anti-theft devices. For less than the cost of a flashlight officers can secure their vehicles. Mark Tremblay, currently the Vice-President of Tremco Police Products, is a former police officer. Tremco Police Products offers an Anti-Theft System that prevents stolen vehicles. Users include over half of all highway patrol and state police agencies as well as FBI, DEA and ATF. Not one vehicle containing a Tremco device has been stolen, even though many attempts have been made over the years. Mark can be reached at 888-666-3031.

Foolishly, my people thought the alien ships were asteroids on a collision course. We launched our most deadly weapons into the sky, which exploded harmlessly off the liquid hull of the invaders, raining poison onto our world. Dust flakes on my head as I walked to the sacred ground. During the ceremony, my younger siblings held me underwater in the pool of our temple, that blue chalice just big enough to immerse my adolescent body. I was arrogant in my new development, confident that I was ready to become an adult. Then, as I let out the last of my held breath, I began to panic; nothing had happened, no painful change, no sudden epiphany, no realization of adulthood, I wasn’t ready, I was going to drown. There, in the water, hands pressing down on my head my head and flailing limbs, I met death for the first time. I was a frightened child, drinking and choking on water, weakened, desperate, ashamed, tearing and helpless. Hope lost, I stopped, just stopped, and let myself die, lay still, peaceful under the web of my brothers’ hands. It was then I felt the closed slits in my side softly open and I became the water, not breathing with my mouth but with my body, my whole self suffused. I looked up through the shining pool to my siblings, and they were crying, dropping tears of worry and hope into the water, and each droplet spread on the surface, a rippling miracle. Two days later, the little insectoid robots came, crawled into my home and sawed through the flesh of my family. My uncle, who slept at the doorway, was already dead when I woke up, his vocal cords severed. My father, though, screamed and thrashed, filling his bed with blood as my mother tried to tear the silver bugs off his skin, her fingers severed by their tiny metal blades. In the pool, gazing up through the water, the faces of my siblings became like stars against the open sky, and in that moment I believed in everything. I lay there, in wonder, my body water, my eyes the open night. Four days later the stink of blood and dust had us all covering our heads with wet scarves, debris slashing our eyes, the water toxic, the air polluted. Our schools were piles of rubble, mass graves for dead children. My mother held her surviving children in the remains of her bleeding fingers and told us that our lives were coming to an end. We fled, like ants on a hill, scurrying from our homes and schools, but nowhere was safe, and nowhere we could go was better than where they were. Later, we were blamed for our resistance. If we had just waited, listened calmly while strange shaped ships plummeted from the sky spewing garbled language of conquest. If we had just laid down in the streets, if we had never picked up anything that could have been interpreted to the invaders as a weapon, then the metal bugs would not have crawled into them and tore them apart from the inside. If my people had not built such strange schools, they would not have been mistaken for military barracks, if we had not fought wars amidst ourselves, we would not need to be ruled. Since the day my siblings lifted me out of the pool, I have never again felt trust so complete. Do not ask again, why I go armed to speak to you. Do not tell me that my people should surrender. Do not accuse me of being irrational till all your own family lay dead, and till your culture is beaten, erased, and chained. Do not question me, for I know death well, and I will send him to you.

There are policies and regulatory decisions made by the governments that can have major impacts on the demand of their civil transport aircraft. The US. Government and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are very influential as Boeing is one of the largest air transport companies that they are highly focusing on. Also the US and European governments’ regulations could be the main driving force for the purchase of new aircrafts and engines in the future. The deregulation of the European airlines, which were initiated in the early 1990’s hold the promise regarding their expanded market prospects for a smaller regional jets. There is a high level of political intervention, as a result has a major impact on the sales of the aircraft. Therefore, this will have an effect on the buyer’s decision. For example, China, the largest market for Boeing has gained political leverage in the US. Aircrafts operating business rely heavily on subsidies. Recently, Boeing and Airbus are on the debate of unfair subsidies between one another. The economic recession and financial crisis have caused people to reduce their spending especially on travel. This reduction in passenger demand has led to cancellation of aircrafts orders. However, in some of the fast growing economies countries such as, China and India. There is an increase in spending on air travel, which caused the increase in demand for aircrafts in those countries. There are other effects, such as; the fluctuation in the fuel prices, the congestion and other environmental restrictions, as well as the prospect of higher security and insurance costs to reflect the risk of terrorism. The global tourism industry trend also has the impact on the sales of the aircrafts. In general, individuals tend to be taking more vacations especially for festive seasons such as, Christmas and Easter, thus causing the airlines to increase the supply of their aircrafts to fit the demand. The low cost airlines influence people to travel more and thus increase the demand for the aircrafts. Usage more carbon composites in the manufacture of Boeing aircrafts will make the aircraft more fuel-efficient. Greater fuel efficiency will enable the aircraft to fly in a longer distances without refueling. This new technology has led to more orders for Boeing. The supersonic transport also an opportunity because an entirely whole new segment of the market will form. Commercial carriers will buy many of these supersonic aircrafts in order to satisfy the consumer’s need to reach destinations quickly and on time. Hi-tech advances will also help the companies to use up the resources more efficiently, i.e. using robots in the manufacturing process. Although, there are no binding regulations on aircraft emissions. Many organizations have set voluntary targets to reduce the emissions. International Air travel Authority (IATA) has expected the improvement in fuel efficiency in aircrafts emission. Boeing has reduced energy consumption by 0.3 percent in 2009 and has reduced energy consumption on a revenue-adjusted basis by 32 percent since 2002. a 15% reduction in carbon emissions with every new commercial aircraft (Boeing, 2010). Demand for fuel-efficient aircrafts and environmental concern are driving Boeing to improve fuel efficiency and to use environmentally progressive materials. Boeing has the best performing industrial company in 2009 for Carbon Disclosure Project, which ranks corporations for transparency around reporting climate-change risks and actions to improve environmental performance. The new US-EU transatlantic market has provided more flexibility to both US and EU airlines. This has led to passengers being able to fly more cheaply, therefore they could lead to an increase in the demand for the aircrafts orders for Boeing .

HA NOI (VNS) — About 17,000 families living below or near the poverty line from 60 communes in four provinces, Thai Nguyen, Bac Giang, Binh Dinh and Ben Tre will be helped to build hygienic latrines under a project aimed at fighting disease carried by water. The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Output-based Aid project, with total funds of more than VND15.7 billion (US$750,900), was implemented by East Meets West , a US-based international development organisation, and the Viet Nam Health Environment Management Agency under the Ministry of Health. The project has been running since last November and will end in November next year.

Showcasing the best of high street fashion from brands such as John Lewis, M&S, Warehouse, Topshop and Jigsaw, the key trends went down the runway in an energetic and elegant show combining fashion and music and presented by celebrity stylist Mark Heyes and British fashion designer Henry Holland. New season trends to watch out for included Athleisure, which has become somewhat perennial now; Bohemia, a nod to Woodstock, not the Sienna Miller floaty boho vibe of the noughties, and the high octane disco glamour of the 80s, involving sequins aplenty and lots of coloured leather. Desert colours made a big impact - camel and sand tones were tempered with pops of mustard and burnt orange, and midi skirts and tailored, slouchy jumpsuits were among my favourite cuts. Denim on denim is another big look, which everyone can do as most people own denim in some form or another! I also loved the chic separates which made up the Modernist scene; all pale colours and simple shapes. Overall; another fantastic look at the season ahead on the High Street from Bristol Fashion Week. My Spring shopping list is bound to include something from the catwalk; last season I bought some River Island leopard print boots that I saw on the catwalk and adored. This season my key piece has to be either the silver midi skirt or this Karen Millen jumpsuit - not a place I normally shop, but, like Warehouse, KM has undergone somewhat of a transformation of late; and it's looking great.

The project came from my common interest in artificial intelligence, but it was really hard at first to find a place for a PeterBot I would say thebot in everyday life. Although Facebook, Slack and Telegram started to bring closer to people these simple applications called bots - especially since the F8 event in April — but I wanted something more than an other app which lets you order a pizza, so I started to think about how I can take this opportunity to the best use in my work, particularly in pitching for job opportunities. These are the first lines of my Medium article I wrote about the process of the creation of my PeterBot Facebook messenger, if you want to read the whole Medium post, take a ride. But if you are not in the mood of reading, you can jump into action with him simply start chatting, or scanning this picture below with your Facebook messenger app on phone.

You did? What did you buy? Or did you manage to fill a Virgin Muggerstores Addict Card in a single visit? Ooh, nice work. Erm, [nonchalant whistle] where? You've never seen his reaction to it being pie for dinner, clearly. It goes roughly "Mmmmm, PIE!" followed by contented munching sounds and much appreciative raising of eyebrows. Have you been watching too much WWE/WWF? Eh? I don't believe so. Ah. 'Pie' is a rather well known euphemism there...it may also be one in real life but you know me, goes right over my head unless it's pointed out to me.

RAIN or Shine is not only making changes among its locals. After bidding goodbye to Jeff Chan to Phoenix for Mark Borboran and a future second-round pick, the Elasto Painters have also made an import change, replacing J.D. Weatherspoon for J’Nathan Bullock. ROS coach Caloy Garcia confirmed the development on Monday afternoon. The 30-year-old Bullock, listed at 6 feet 5 inches, is a veteran forward who last played in the Finnish league. Bullock attended his first practice on Monday. “I needed more of a leader of an import,” Garcia admitted. “Si JD was good, but then he wasn’t vocal enough. Parang when we lost games, I was looking for somebody from an import na ayaw magpatalo. Pero parang sa kanya, he was just taking it lightly.

Show Time by Sue Stauffacher. An Animal Rescue Team Book. Review: Have you ever had to deal with squirrels that were too friendly with people terrorizing a college and a veteran's facility and also winning a jump rope competition at the same time? Well, an ordinary girl named Keisha has to deal with both of these. In the book Show Time (from the Animal Rescue Team series) by Sue Stauffacher, squirrels had been scaring some of the students and staff at a local college and it's up to Keisha and the Animal Rescue Team to stop them! But Keisha also has a jump rope competition to win. Can she do it all? Keisha Carter and her family's problems all change when they get a call from Mt. Mercy College, about squirrels frightening the students and staff! So the Animal Rescue Team (Keisha and her family) arrives at the scene to investigate. In order to gather up more clues about the situation, the team has to make some careful decisions about the squirrel situation. Meanwhile, Keisha has to deal with some of her own problems. The Grand River Steppers jump rope team has a chance of placing in the finals, but Keisha is so nervous that she keeps messing up her routine! While working on the squirrel situation, Keisha meets Sergeant Pinkham, a retired war veteran that is getting used to his new prosthetic. Keisha tells Sarge about her problems with her jump rope routine and her squirrel situation. He encourages her and tells her she will succeed but only if she stays focused and practices the routine. He just might be the person to help Keisha calm down, have fun and do well at the competition. Can Keisha get over her problems and do well in the competition? And will the team finish their problem with the squirrels? Show Time is a great book for kids from 2nd to 4th grade. It is a book full of laughs and surprises that make the reader want to continue reading. A part of the book that made me laugh was when Razi was performing his tap dance routine at the school performance and he fell on his bottom! Also, I liked how the author made the reader think of how the characters were going to solve their problems and decisions. For example, when they first wet to the Mt. Mercy College they didn't know where to start with their investigation. This made me think of where would be a good place for them to look first. I did not like that in one chapter it would talk about the squirrel situation but in the next chapter it would be something different with a new place and new characters. All in all, I think this book is great for someone who loves a few jokes and many surprises. Show Time deserves 4 out 5 stars. Review written by Sam K. (6th grade student). We would like to thank Random House for providing a copy of Show Time for this review. Have you read Show Time? How would you rate it?

Yes, but not in the same way. Only the printed area of the awning is calculated as “sign area.” Fixed awnings are limited to a projection of 30 inches from the front of the building and must be at least 8 feet from the sidewalk. Retractable awnings have different specifications so review the code chapter on signs or check with the Zoning Office.

With this blog, I’m going to “veer off” the road to Easter to allow us to reflect on the life and influence of Dr. Billy Graham. “Billy,” as everyone knew him went home to be with Jesus and his beloved Ruth on Wednesday, ending a 99-year life and an epic impact and testimony for the Gospel. None will ever leave as deep of tracks in the sand as this man. Graham was unwavering in his preaching, and in his private and personal lifestyle. I had the privilege of hearing him the first time in person at my seminary graduation in 1990. I was proud to walk across the platform and receive my doctorate with none other than THE Billy Graham watching! I heard him later at two other, evangelistic crusades, but none felt as personal as that moment on my graduation day. I don’t remember making a pledge to make him proud or promise to be just like him, but I wish I had. While Billy’s voice has been silenced by age for a long time now, his voice still rings into our hearts through recorded crusades. And while his preaching was amazing, the thing that lives longest in memory for me about him is his character: his love for wife and family, and his determination to live and not bring shame to the Gospel and the Lord he loved, and the care he took to guard his character. How we are desperate for his example today… a man with moral steel in his spine and a sober stare on his face. A preacher with a God-given burden for the lost. A man who could come alive in front of thousands, but do so because he smoldered within in his private devotion when no one saw, and no cameras recorded. I grow weary with the showmen and personalities who model themselves after Billy and yet show nothing of his inner fire and integrity. God bring us another Billy Graham who does not back down, and who can sit with presidents, queens, celebrities or the masses… and see them all the same. Nobody gives crowns like Heaven.

FACT CHECK: Social Security for Illegal Aliens? Social Security for Illegal Aliens? THESE ARE THE SENATORS WHO VOTED TO GIVE ILLEGAL ALIENS SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS. REGARDLESS OF POLITICAL PARTY, THESE POLITICIANS NEED TO BE DEFEATED IN 2006, 2008 OR 2010 WHENEVER THEY COME UP FOR OFFICE. SEND THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW IN ANY OF THE STATES LISTED. THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES NEED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION. THAT IS UNLESS THEY DO NOT MIND SHARING THEIR SOCIAL SECURITY WITH FOREIGN WORKERS WHEN AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE BEING LEFT OUT. Origins: On 25 May 2006, the U.S. Senate, by a 62-36 bipartisan vote, passed the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 (CIRA) — a controversial bill which proponents touted as providing comprehensive and humane immigration reform, and which opponents criticized as unfairly rewarding illegal aliens by allowing them to obtain legal status. [Illegal immigrants] paid into the system simply because that was the price to pay to get a job in the United States. The immigrant knew they were using an illegal Social Security number but without regards of the impact of the victim. I have reviewed case after case related to identity theft and Social Security fraud. These cases are occurring all over the United States. In every case, in every State, where someone’s Social Security number was stolen by an illegal immigrant to use to find work, the victim’s credit history is destroyed. Sometimes their work history is too. Earlier I talked about Caleb, a gentleman in Nevada. The illegal immigrant who used Caleb’s Social Security number was not trying to harm that person but he did. Caleb applied for unemployment but couldn’t get it because the agency said he was working when, in fact, he wasn’t. He lives in Reno. They said he was working in Las Vegas. It was an illegal immigrant using his Social Security number in Las Vegas. I never said this amendment is going to prevent identity theft. What I have said is that it is not right for somebody to steal somebody else’s identity — granted for the noble purpose of getting a job — and reward the theft by giving work credit that counts towards Social Security. We should consider the victims who are forced to deal with the terrible consequences of the crime. The subject of the proposed amendment was not about giving (or denying) Social Security benefits to illegal aliens; it was about whether a select group of formerly illegal workers (i.e., those who might obtain legal immigration status if the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 were enacted) should be able to receive credit for payments they made into the Social Security system using phony Social Security numbers (i.e., numbers that were invalid or had been assigned to others). Such persons would still be eligible to collect Social Security benefits in the future even if this amendment were defeated; they just wouldn’t receive credit for payments they had already made into the system. It was the potential passage of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act that created the situation Senator Ensign’s amendment sought to prevent in the first place (i.e., allowing formerly illegal workers to receive credit for earlier Social Security payments), so the senators who ultimately voted in favor of the immigration reform act might logically be considered at least as responsible for the outcome as those who voted to table the Ensign amendment. In a nutshell, the amendment referenced above wasn’t about “giving illegal aliens Social Security benefits”; it was about whether formerly illegal aliens (who had since become legal) should be credited for monies they themselves had paid into the Social Security fund while they were in the U.S. illegally. The senators listed above did not vote in favor of this proposition; they voted to withdraw the amendment from consideration.

Envision Spokane, the twice-failed initiative seeking to bolster environmental protection and neighborhood and labor rights, will be before voters again, after a decision Thursday by a state appellate court. The ruling reverses a 2013 decision by a Superior Court judge to remove the controversial measure from that year’s general election ballot. The court ordered the city to put the measure on the next available ballot.

I have had my first “real” post in the drafts for quite some time now. It was supposed to be my first post because its something I baked when i had just started baking, Nigella’s Madeira Cake. I came across the recipe in the very first book i bought on baking- How to be a Domestic Goddess. But it looks like I have lost or rather misplaced the photos. So I am moving on and posting something I enjoyed baking, also by Nigella. The recipe is available online on Nigella’s website. Although the original recipe is called “Strawberry Shortcake”, I’m omitting the strawberry in the title because i chose a different filling instead of the strawberries and cream. I wouldn’t really call what i chose, a filling, it is just something to go along with the shortcake, because of its consistency. I had a lot of passion fruit at the time and wanted to try something i hadn’t before, so I went for the Passion Fruit Curd (also by Nigella). To be honest, I had never even heard of fruit curds before i came across this recipe in the book. So i had no clue as to how it tastes or how its supposed to taste. But let me tell you this, it tastes D-I-V-I-N-E!! Who would have thought eggs could do that to passion fruit! You could eat it with bread or pancakes as Nigella suggests. I’m sure it would taste great with just about anything. And it was perfect with these shortcakes except for the consistency which doesn’t let you sandwich it between the shortcakes. But that doesn’t make it any less yummy, so go for it. One small tip I learnt is that Nigella has mentioned the size of the cutter used to make the shortcakes. You don’t necessarily have to use the exact same size, it would be perfect if you did, but use the size only as a reference and not as a rule. Any cutter that is close to the given size should do. Hope this post inspires someone to try out this simple yet wonderful combination. Preheat the oven to 220ºC/gas mark 7/425ºF. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and 3 tablespoons of the sugar in a bowl. Grate the butter into these dry ingredients and use your fingertips to finish crumbling the butter into the flour. Whisk the egg into the cream, and pour into the flour mixture a little at a time, using a fork to mix. You may not need all of the eggy cream to make the dough come together, so go cautiously. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and roll gently to a thickness of about 2cm / ¾ inch. Dip a 6½ cm / 2½ inch round cutter in flour and cut out as many rounds as you can. Work the scraps back into a dough, re-roll and finish cutting out. Place the shortcakes about 2½ cm / 1 inch apart on a greased or lined baking sheet, brush the tops with the egg white, and sprinkle them with the remaining 2 tablespoons of caster sugar. You can cover and refrigerate them now for up to 2 hours. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden-brown, and let them cool for a short while on a wire rack. Put the seeded pulp of 10 of the passion fruits into the processor and blitz just to loosen the seeds. Strain into a jug or bowl. Beat the eggs, egg yolks and sugar together. Melt the butter over a low heat in a heavy-based pan, and when melted stir in the sugar-egg mixture and the passion fruit juice, and keep cooking gently, stirring constantly, until thickened. Switch off the heat, whisk in the pulp along with the seeds of the remaining passionfruit, let cool slightly. Refrigerate if you have any left. The shortcakes are best eaten while still warm, so split each one across the middle, dollop around 1-2 tablespoons of the curd and set the top back on and ENJOY!!!

Volume 3, Number 1 (2009), 6-37. The GRavitational lEnsing Accuracy Testing 2008 (GREAT08) Challenge focuses on a problem that is of crucial importance for future observations in cosmology. The shapes of distant galaxies can be used to determine the properties of dark energy and the nature of gravity, because light from those galaxies is bent by gravity from the intervening dark matter. The observed galaxy images appear distorted, although only slightly, and their shapes must be precisely disentangled from the effects of pixelisation, convolution and noise. The worldwide gravitational lensing community has made significant progress in techniques to measure these distortions via the Shear TEsting Program (STEP). Via STEP, we have run challenges within our own community, and come to recognise that this particular image analysis problem is ideally matched to experts in statistical inference, inverse problems and computational learning. Thus, in order to continue the progress seen in recent years, we are seeking an infusion of new ideas from these communities. This document details the GREAT08 Challenge for potential participants.

Millions of Britons have turned their backs on traditional package holidays and high street travel agents and now organise their breaks themselves, the results of a new survey suggest. Nearly one in three (30%) of those questioned suggested that they go online to book their flights, accommodation, car hire and family travel insurance separately. Although a further one in four (27%) are booking their holidays as a package, they are doing so online or by phone rather than on the high street. Only one in five, meanwhile, say they still use a high street travel agent to organise and book their holidays. According to the Ocean Finance study, two thirds of those opting to book their break themselves say they do so in order to save money, by capitalising on late deals and the information offered by price comparison sites. And when it comes to choosing which resort to visit or what hotel to stay in, more people are seeking out recommendations made by other holidaymakers on social media sites such as TripAdvisor, instead of relying on brochures or asking travel agents. But the do-it-yourself approach can be a time-consuming and stressful commitment, the survey's results suggest. Almost one in three say they spend a month or more planning the details of their next break, with another 40% spending up to a fortnight doing so. Nearly a quarter of the self-styled DIY travel agents, meanwhile, say doing all the legwork themselves leaves them stressed out and frustrated. Ocean Finance spokesman Gareth Shilton says the days of walking into a travel agent and picking a package holiday out of a brochure on the shelf seem to be over. He says the internet has given travellers the power to take control of researching and organising their holiday themselves. That, he says, enables them to view information and pictures from the destinations they are considering, before deciding on whether to go. But Mr Shilton admits that the stress and hard work involved with doing all the donkey work themselves is leaving some holidaymakers in need of a well-earned rest.

There is a well-known company that positions itself as the “good-hands people.” But that moniker could also apply to Sheila Salyer. A uniquely solid, visionary and competent individual, Salyer has held the Tallahassee Senior Center in her own “good hands” for the last 20 years. The Senior Center will hold a celebration of Salyer’s 20 years as executive director with a “Bucket List” Reunion luncheon on Monday, Aug. 29. The large auditorium space on the building’s second floor was reserved for roller skating and toddler tumbling classes, says Salyer. But inspired by previous directors and community activists who had long lobbied for an expansive program for seniors, the center acquired the rest of the building. Salyer says that when she became director, part of her mandate was to put Tallahassee’s senior center on the national map.

This is the thirteenth installment of Photography 101. … and the residents of our neighborhood don’t let you forget it! Last year’s Halloween photos are here, and the previous year’s here. It’s about 8:15 PM on a Friday night. We’re finally kicking back, at the end of yet another 60-hour workweek. It’s been intense, and we’re both looking forward to the weekend. We’ve decided that I will get groceries. Vlad will prep and cook. But we’re switching from “94” (the apartment at 94th Street and 3rd Avenue) to “92” (the apartment at 92nd Street and Madison). We are both going over, but separately— Vlad to carry over some packages, and I to get the groceries. As I walk down the gentle slope of 3rd Avenue, I notice something odd: police barricades. And not just barricades, but police—every few yards, there’s a police officer, or an empty squad car. There are more as I turn up 96th Street and begin to go up the hill. “President Obama is in town. It’s the exit to the FDR,” he says. This week’s Photo Challenge is Horizon. Stay tuned for story and many more photos!

Nowhere do you need to be more self-reliant than on an offshore platform. And that includes self-reliance in the event of fire. There’s no fire service in the immediate vicinity to come to the rescue and this has a number of significant consequences. As inflammable gases are always present around a platform, preventing sparks has the highest priority. All regulations are geared towards this. This means that it is imperative that fire detection and extinguishing systems work reliably and as automatically as possible. All extinguishing equipment needs to be simple to operate so that the personnel present can use, maintain and repair this without problem. At the same time, the equipment has to withstand high levels of corrosion. protection systems, not only because many processes take place in a confined small surface area, but also because these processes are not spread horizontally, but vertically. Each platform level requires its own safety services. For example, the rooms in which personnel sleep and the helicopter platform have to be protected in different ways. Finally, there are space and weight limitations. And these are substantial. Within all these conditions and limitations, we can offer you the best solution. We understand the world of offshore platforms.

Click HERE to see the most recent Middle School newsletter! The cast and crew of the Saint Peter Middle School’s production of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland,” have been busy recently fine turning their performance for three shows they will stage this Friday, March 8, at the middle school theater. Directors Charlotte Smith and Angela Schilling have been working with the students for the past couple months in preparation for two shows they will put on for the Middle School students during the school day on Friday. Then, the public performance is set for 7 p.m. on Friday evening at the theater, which is free and open to the public. Based on the beloved children's book of the same title by Lewis CarolI, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is the story of young Alice and her journey through the magical world of Wonderland--a life-sized chessboard populated by a number of peculiar people and animals. All Alice wants to do is reach the 8th square of the chess board and be crowned Queen Alice, but every person who crosses her path seems determined to send her in circles. Add in a homicidal queen on a rampage, and poor Alice might never make it back home again! Seventh graders at Saint Peter Middle School hosted their annual History Day event on Thursday, Jan. 17, at the school’s media center. The interior of the media center was filled with colorful cardboard tri-fold exhibits depicting significant people or events in American history. Students from Erick Boe’s, Dustin Sharstrom’s, and Sean O’Brien’s U.S. History classes participated in the event. Each of the exhibits is judged by Middle School staff, other volunteers, as well as some of the eighth grade students. The top 15 to 20 projects at this year’s event will advance to the South Central Regional History Day competition at Minnesota State University-Mankato on March 19 with a chance to go all the way to the state competition later this year. Saint Peter Middle School students literally collected more than a ton of food during this year’s recent annual Canned Food Drive with the final total being 2,161 pounds that was donated to the St. Peter Area Food Shelf. Kevin Castaneda, Cole Junso, and David Marlow. The SPMS Student Council sponsored this year’s drive in which students in all four grades (5-8) collected food and non-perishable items during the week of December 10-14. A total of 2,125 items were collected during the drive. SPMS Student Council advisor Courtney Shey and eight members of the Student Council’s executive team transported all of the donated items to the Food Shelf personally, with Saints Bus Service providing the mode of transportation.

Usually the only enhancement I get for my viewing of the Macy’s parade, is that we are at my in-laws house and their television is twice the size of ours. That and the Blueberry Buckle my mother in law makes every year. This year I shall be swiping my husband’s iPhone and settling in with a new app from MyCityWay. Powered by MyCityWay, the app will give spectators, using both iOS and Android, important parade information plus a comprehensive guide to New York City. And it’s free! Users will get expected features such as the route map, parade line-up, trivia, photos, videos, and information on parade events, but will also get some never before available access. If you are in the city that day, you will be able to use the view of the guarded Line of March to predict when certain floats will pass your vantage point. Ideal for timing bathroom breaks. With this app you also have the chance to download a special MyCityWay feature called Clingle. This will enable the user to track certain participants, including 11 marching bands and the Spirit of America and Varsity Spirit Cheer performance groups. On November 22 you can also enter a competition for VIP seating tickets. Just “check in” at famous landmarks along the parade route in a parade scavenger hunt. You’ll be automatically entered if you hit all the spots by midnight. Also for those in the area, you can receive notification of transportation services that are affected by the parade route. Wish we’d have had that in 2000! I expect this will also be useful in timing those bathroom breaks and coffee runs. Make note of which float you last saw, run to Starbucks and then pick up the same float as it goes by a block or so down. If you have no interest in the parade at all, this would be useful information to have anyway, and the app comes with a comprehensive guide to New York City for free. If you aren’t in the NYC area, this app will still enhance your viewing pleasure at home. You will be able to find out when a parade participant has crossed a particular destination, in real time, and receive notifications with pictures videos of the crossing. From 3-10 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 23 you will also be able to see the yearly balloon inflation. The one feature I plan on using most? Following and sending messages to Santa. I have a two year old with a few special requests that need to get through!

A new type of equipment for a new public urban use. To embody and promote the practice of hiking, and more generally to promote the (re) discovery of the territory, we propose to implement a series of shelters around Urban Community of Bordeaux. Refuges for walkers as high mounting. Shelters for those who wish to experience a retreat unusual in the city. Shelters for visitors seeking alternative accommodation. Shelters forms desirable, all unique, between sculpture and architecture, between work and construction, able to offer its occupants a spatial experience memorable and poetic.

On July 10, 2014, the Wall Street Journal ran a short piece on such things as the pickup dilemma, the bedtime ultimatum, and, yes, the kale conundrum. Novel investment strategies? Stock pickers’ perils? No. “Parenting secrets from the world of game theory,” as the Journal described them. Game theory — the science of strategic thinking — works for the pros in industry and geopolitics. Why not with the crafty negotiators who happen to be our kids? When the Journal story appeared, my editor at Scientific American/Farrar, Straus and Giroux, Amanda Moon, immediately saw a book in game-theory parenting. She called Kevin Zollman, a game theorist and philosopher at Carnegie Mellon University who had been quoted in the article, to ask if he were interested. Then she came to me. What about The Game Theorist’s Guide to Parenting, she asked? Kevin was ready to go — if I was. Amanda set up a conference call. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I had my doubts. A game theorist whose writings are studded with equations? A philosopher whose arguments would be as impenetrable as what I remembered from philosophy in college? Happily, he was neither. I could tell from the first few minutes of our call that he was intelligent, articulate, and personable. We sealed the deal in a few days. Once we had developed an outline, we decided to split the chapters between us. I wrote the first draft of half of the chapters, and Kevin wrote the drafts of the other half. Then we passed them back and forth between us until we had what we wanted. The Game Theorist’s Guide to Parenting is a light-hearted look at some of the common problems of parenting: managing sibling conflict, getting kids to clean up their rooms, making fair decisions, and others. We hope readers will learn something about dealing with their kids, get a dollop of game theory, and chuckle as they make their way through the book. My advice for others thinking about writing a book with an academic? If you can find somebody like Kevin, do it.

On June 27th, my colleague Niall and I ran a hands on workshop for some startups we’re working with from the NDRC. Below is a walkthrough of what we covered and you can try it yourself too! The first thing we’ll do is create a Resource group in our portal. This will allow us to logically group our resources together. If you select to pin the resource group to the dashboard, you’ll have quick and easy access to it when you enter your portal next time. Either click the resource groups link on the left, or select the Resource group from the home screen. Click on the App service, and then the URL to launch your live site. You’ll see a placeholder there. Next, we’re going to enable auto-scale for our app service. We’re basically creating a set of rules to increase or decrease the number of instances based on CPU utilization at a given time. There’s a great blog post with a bunchmore detail on this here if you’d like to read further. Click the save icon in the top corner when you’re finished adding the rules. I’ve included this to just quickly show the functionality here. There’s a great post here with a lot more detail if you’re interested in learning how to deploy from repository sites. You can also set up a performance test to run after each deployment if you want. Go back to your website where the placeholder was, and you should see that it’s been updated! To add additional alerts, go into your app service plan and click settings. From there you’ll see the option to add Alerts. For the second half of the session, Niall talked about getting started with Infrastructure Services on Azure. He’s written his own blog post on that and you can find it here. Leave me a comment below to let me know how you get on and if you have any questions!

America is the Beelzebub's country. In 1913, with the establishment of the usurious, unconstitutional, and criminal Federal Reserve Bank, Old Nick's minions secretly stole the soul of America and turned the American people into mindless destructive creatures. Hundreds of thousands of Americans and millions of human beings throughout the world have been killed and wounded in Lucifer's false wars, from Korea to Vietnam to Afghanistan to Iraq to Libya to Syria to many more countries. We want to be brought in as possible. America is not the Kingdom of morning star, but it is occupied by the forces who work for the kingdom of chief spirit of evil. The principle of power in human and political affairs is the principle of Satan. Washington is the Kingdom of Prince of Darkness because the Old Nick has been ruling for more than seven decades; Berlin was the Kingdom of the Tempter when Hitler ruled; and in Genghis Khan's dark heart laid the Kingdom of daemon. And so on. America has been the Kingdom of archfiend since long. The American people are told that those who expose the Dark Heart of Washington D.C. are derisive and crackpot conspiracy theorists who deserve to be brushed off and guyed. But these conspiracy theorists are rebels of thought who will never go away and shut up. We will never be silenced. At some point, the power elite and the disdainful CIA will learn that you can't assassinate and demonise every political leader and whistleblower across the world. This isn't the 60's and 70’s. Times have changed. In the last several decades, there has been a great political arousing, especially since the events of colossal misdoings by America after Second World War. If the Kennedys and Kings were killed today by the United States government, there would be riots and mini-uprisings which would eventually grow into a revolution. Millions of people know the American government has been hijacked by traitors, thieves, and state terrorists and those other Western governments are also guilty of covering up what really happened in the past decades perpetrated by American establishment. People know they are under attack. The modern police force is viewed in America, Canada, and Europe as an occupying army. Cops are Redcoats. They are brainwashed machines who have been trained to carry out the will of destruction and tyranny. The American founding fathers believed that there were cosmic forces at work during the creation of America. John Adams attributed America's success to divine providence. He said: "But I must submit all my Hopes and Fears to an overruling Providence, in which, unfashionable as the Faith may be, I firmly believe." Adolph Hitler, during his rise to power, made sure that the youth of Germany were taught the principles necessary for them to be useful members of the "Third Reich." And if we were to say that he was successful in propagandising them, we would be guilty of gross understatement! He was widely viewed by the people as being the saviour of Germany. America that gave Martin Luther to the world, but it violated every principle of Christianity in following Hitler’s demonic leadership to moral ruin and national destruction. Could it happen again? Certainly, and it is probably much closer than you would dare imagine! We, at cutting edge, are constantly accused of being paranoid because of the Western media’s deliberate prevarication on stance on world affairs. But as the old joke goes, "You would be paranoid too, if everyone were after you!" Yes, we do plead guilty to seeing demons under many bushes and, without apology, maintain that every religion warns us of such. It also seems reasonable to us that anyone with an ounce of horse sense should be able to discern that things just aren’t going as well today as many seem to believe. But the giddy majority is rolling merrily along, totally oblivious to the unmistakable signs of catastrophe looming just over the horizon. And upon the mirage of the financial picture alone we could have much to say, but that is another story. My friends, take a hard look around you and observe how few people today really and truly have to earn their living through arduous physical work. To be sure, some still do, but they are so few in number compared to 50-75 years ago as to be practically nonexistent. The overwhelming majority of people in the industrialised nations today expend far less physical effort to earn their daily bread than did their predecessors. This is a good thing you say? Well, that depends upon how you look at it! Pleasure and recreation is the number one priority of the average guy today right behind his insatiable desire to have more of it by working himself to death through long hours and stress. Does this describe anyone you know? At least, those who did hard manual labour in the past, generally only worked during daylight hours and had to have sufficient rest in order to continue. So, if you were plotting a national and international take-over, would you want the masses of cattle to have enough time or mental capacity to take note of what was really taking place around them? As a sage is fond of saying, "Wake up and smell the coffee!" After the Second World War, America’s abominable bullyragging into the internal affairs of independent and sovereign states across the world has been going on at full strength or intensity. This is quite unbearable and irremissible. The flunkies like Britain, France, Germany… have joined the world’s rogue village headman as its stooges. This so-called big brother and its client states have been bringing about unspeakable human disasters across the world. Sometimes I think that Newton's Third Law, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” stands as grossly faulty, at least, in case of America. Because of America’s colossal misdoings to independent and sovereign countries of the world for long, we should express our strong disapproval of such a rogue state like it and its establishment in the harshest language so that it ceases its operations of unspeakable sufferings for human beings throughout the terra firma of the Earth. Only then, people of other nations will be able to live in peace. And the world is for peaceful living for all nations, not to destroy them or murdering of people recklessly. Humanity must prevail everywhere and that should be our core compass point. We cannot and shall not forget all the gangs of ruffians of American establishment, an uncultured, aggressive, rude, noisy troublemaker. A noted columnist John Lloyd has correctly said, “America First means America Withdrawn.” As a matter of fact, America has in the possession of awful nuclear military weapons, tomahawks like stupefied destructive weapons of mankind…in abundance, but they are not willing to destroy those dreadful weapons nor do they say anything about them. Look at their audacity. If you read the Western Newspapers, you will also find that their styles of writings are full of lies only. America’s nuclear doctrine says it reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in any sovereign and independent country at its free-will. It is affording free passage or view that response to a nuclear attack or an attack with other weapons of mass destruction against any state or its allies, or a conventional attack against them. Any attempt to undermine American so-called interests, politics, political institutions, and values cannot be tolerated. As such, America is the country of chafe, carousing, ogres and evil supernatural being. In point of fact, America first means America must withdraw first from its all misdoings all over the world and let people of all nations around the world live in peace with cooperation and interchange. The writer is a senior citizen.

It was the illustrations of Oliver Jeffers that had me hooked when scouring for new books for the boy. I know you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but, what can I say… I’m a sucker for a fantastic font choice. My eldest (4) adores this story. He get’s engrossed in Marcel’s character. How he nonchalantly follow’s Wilfred’s rules just at the right time. Every time. The boy gets completely drawn into Wilfred’s perilous situation showing genuine concern then giggling in relief when he realises Marcel has come to the rescue. I love the richness of the media used in the illustrations. The wit and humour that underlines the story makes this as enjoyable to read with the boy as it is for him to read it. A real conversation provoking story with a beautiful sentiment on how not everything needs to be owned.

Welcome to show number 2017.13, sprat-o-leenies!! Windsor Nova Scotia really is the home of Sam Slick! Jon babbles about his fish tank. Mystery Snails and Cobra Guppies. Androids meshing with humans on Live Science! Jon hijacks the show for a few minutes. Flashback!!! Kelly finds the Transparent Touchpad. Flexible, possibly wearable, touchpads. Perhaps the word Hydrogel word is being used too much. Canadian personal information consent information includes browser history. Michael Geist post about PIPEDA where Jon pulled a lot of his data from. 2008 Federal ruling about personal information, eh? European Union’s Data Localization laws will only allow EU data to be transferred to 11 countries. Weirdly, 2 of them are Five-Eyes countries. Someone gives away death-row dogs! We have no link. Deal. Heart Warm, not “Heart Worm”!

Throughout the Republic and Empire the public spaces of Rome were political capital. First triumphant generals, then emperors used them for advertisement, persuasion and coercion of a heterogeneous and massive population. This course explores the politics of space in Classical Rome, how different individuals interpreted the needs of their times in different ways and how they responded to the city populations at different times. Can the history of the built environment show us new aspects of an individual's principate and relationship to the population of Rome? Particular (but not exclusive) attention will be paid to topographical and architectural developments in the time of Caesar's dictatorship, Augustus, Domitian, Trajan, Hadrian and Constantine.

Learn to handle online crisis & how to navigate the world of online video - Communicate and Howe! On Monday, inspire! arrives in Stratford with two important topics: dealing with online crisis and navigating the world of online video. Get your ticket today! I’ve known Jason Dykstra since about the time he first started tweeting. Since that time I’ve seen him emerge as an expert in online communications in his own right. In June, Jason spoke to a large group at the Social Capital Conference in Ottawa and rocked the house with his presentation on dealing with online conflict. For me, it was a highlight of the weekend and I immediately suggested to Jason that I’d love to have him share his presentation to inspire! audiences in southern Ontario. Jason deals with conflict daily as a mediator. Given that online crisis may result from conflict or turn the proverbial mountain into a mole hill, Jason’s perspective is expertly applied to how to handle online crisis. He’ll use real life examples to show what can go wrong. He’ll also share how you can avoid worse case scenarios by applying the principles behind the acronym LISTEN. Whether your online crisis is a result of a mistake or an online conflict, Jason shares best practices of how to avoid having your organization trending for all the wrong reasons. Nelson Dunk of Skylight Productions is normally found behind a video camera or in an editing suite. He emerges regularly to explain the world of online video to folks who realize they should be taking advantage of the benefits of using video but aren’t sure exactly where to start or which services and tools to uses. I saw Nelson navigate a group of small business owners through the world of online video a year ago at the @Marketplace Conference. So it came as no surprise that the Kitchener-Waterloo Community Foundation had brought Nelson in to help nonprofits get their footing on how to use video online and even guide them to create their own videos. With video becoming increasingly a key piece of your content marketing strategy, I asked Nelson to share his presentation with inspire! He’ll share some of the latest stats and developments related to online video so that you can figure out what your next steps are to put video to work for your organization. Are you willing to pay the price for free communications? Different social media. Different social circles.

It was three days before Christmas on a Tuesday morning when UNSW entrepreneurship catalyst Joshua Flannery sent an “odd request” to a group of uni’s entrepreneurs. Flannery’s friend Martin Orliac had received a message half-way through seeing the new Star Wars film saying that his beloved cat Mozart had fallen nearly 30 metres from their balcony. After rushing out of the cinema to the hospital, Orliac found Mozart with two broken legs, and the vet describing it as a “miracle” he was still alive. But he wouldn’t be able to walk for two months and Orliac didn’t want to enclose the poor animal in a small corner as the vet had suggested and an expensive wheelchair. So he turned to the internet. “These wheelchairs for pets are really expensive, ad hoc-type devices that cost dramatically more than for a human,” Orliac tells StartupSmart. “But some people have been quite ingenious in making wheelchairs for cats. “A guy in Israel made different parts through 3D printing and put them readily available online. That was when he turned to Flannery, who in turn reached out to the wider student entrepreneur network. And “within minutes” he had numerous responses and offers to help. An enterprising 3D printer owner and UNSW student Viriya Chittasy pulled through and printed the various parts for Orliac and helped Mozart get back on his good feet. “The cat started walking around with it,” Orliac says. The recovery is going so well now that Mozart has even become “bored” of his new high-tech accessory. “Now he’s back to jumping around like no-one’s business,” he says. Flannery says the story demonstrates the very real practical uses of 3D printing. “It was important to be able to give back to our partners on a more personal level and it just shows that we have a really caring and valuable community of entrepreneurs around the university,” he says. “It’s amazing what innovation can deliver,” Orliac adds.

Jake Paul has been a YouTube celebrity for several years following his massive success on the media platform VINE. Since his channel’s creation in late 2013 he has received over five billion total views, got an acting role on Disney’s “Bizaardvark” (which he is no longer a part of), and a semi-successful music career. But how much is he worth? Well, it’s complicated. There’s not really a way to figure out how much he made from the Disney show Bizaardvark, nor is it easy to find out how much he has made from his music based on sells and not views of his music on his channel. Something that can be done is to do some research, some number-crunching. These numbers are all total estimates and are not at all representative of how much money Jake Paul actually has. That is the total estimated number for how much he is going to make this year. That’s not all though. If we times that by the six years that Jake Paul has been on Youtube (assuming that his massive amount of followers on VINE followed him over to YouTube and he has been getting massive views on his videos since he started) then we get: $6,477,960. That number is the estimated amount that he has made from YouTube alone. Now if we throw in music royalties and Disney channel royalties I’m sure that is probably another million, so we are now at $7,477,960. Another interesting thing to consider is the notion of stacked views. If collectively his channel gets over a million views a day across a wide variety of videos then that number goes up a noticeable amount. Jake Paul could by now have an estiamted net worth of $10 million. So if you want to see these numbers for yourself and are thinking of starting your own YouTube channel, here’s what was seen about his channel which could have a factor about why he is so profitable. You have to be consistent. Jake Paul puts out a video every other day. That means that there isn’t a lot of down time, you have to be consistently shooting, editing, and writing new videos. No matter what you think of the guy, he definitely gets work done, even if he has a crew to help him out. You have to be willing to give anything and everything to this channel. Jake Paul doesn’t look like he cares about what is or what isn’t showed on his videos. In fact, he has gotten into trouble before for putting “risque” content on his channel even though his main audience is quite young. Paul looks at everything in his life as revolving around his channel. If you are his friend you’re going to in his videos. His dogs, home, mother, just everything is in his videos. Some may see this as committed, some may see this as a problem. But it works for him. And his millions.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 — The Registrar of Societies (RoS) confirmed today that it has granted PKR’s Rafizi Ramli special permission to contest the party polls. Despite that, it insisted that no preferential treatment had been given, stating that it has approved six such applications as of July 31 this year. “Any exemption is based on the application submitted by any individual processed using the standard operating procedure based on the Societies Act 1966,” its director-general Masyati Abang Ibrahim said in a statement. She said Rafizi had applied for an exemption to hold a position in a registered society via a letter dated July 9, and the RoS responded in a letter dated July 20 approving the request. “The RoS stresses that no preferential treatment was accorded to any individual applying for the exemption to hold office after being disqualified from holding office in any registered society in Malaysia. “Instead, each exemption is based on the application made by any individual and processed according to a standard operating procedure in accordance with the Societies Act,” Masyati said. Rafizi is challenging Economic Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali for the deputy president’s post. Earlier in the day, PKR president Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail had said the party’s election committee would determine if Rafizi could contest the elections. The deputy prime minister was asked to comment on a report by TheSun yesterday, which stated that PKR regulations do not allow a convicted person to contest party elections. The report, quoting a source, had said PKR faced the possibility of being deregistered if it allowed Rafizi to contest. The report said Rafizi had two convictions — an 18-month sentence that he received from the Sessions Court for unauthorised possession of the 1MDB audit report and exposing it to the media, and a 30-month sentence this year for exposing bank accounts related to National Feedlot Corporation and its chairman Datuk Seri Mohamad Salleh Ismail. The report quoted the source as saying Rafizi claimed to have been given special permission by the RoS to contest the elections. Deputy Home Affairs Minister Datuk Mohd Azis Jamman had said he was waiting for feedback from the RoS on Rafizi’s position before making any comment. Some 800,000 PKR members will vote in the elections from September 14 to October 13. PKR de facto leader Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim won the presidency uncontested when nominations closed on August 5.

The New People’s Army’s (NPA) attempt to teach minors an alternative version of the Philippine National Anthem “Lupang Hinirang” is part of their efforts to fight the government and demonize troops tasked to protect the country from such threats. This was disclosed by Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) public affairs office chief, Col. Noel Detoyato, when asked if the military is aware of such efforts by the rebels, especially those operating in the Davao Region. “That has been confirmed years ago by a minor who was once in a Salugpungan school. It (“Lupang Sinira”, the rebel version of “Lupang Hinirang”) teaches the children to fight the government and it demonizes the soldiers,” Detoyato said in a message to the Philippine News Agency (PNA) Wednesday. “Schools are supposed to teach children love of country and be responsible Filipino citizens and contribute to nation-building. The national anthem they are teaching in Salugpungan is not an alternative version. It is a bastardized version and is an insult to the Filipinos and to our national heroes who fought and died just for the national anthem to be sung freely by the Filipinos of today and Filipinos of tomorrow,” he added. Earlier, former Bayan Muna pepresentative, Satur Ocamp, denied claims that minors in the Davao Region are being taught the “Lupang Sinira”, as stated by Philippine National Police Director General Oscar Albayalde.

The year is winding down and a lot of dreams didn't come through this year for a lot of people, I for one had to hold on my Masters degree, which was really dear to me but funding kind of got in the way.

This is the first in a series of posts where I take a look at WCAG2.0 Guidelines and try to explain them in a way that makes sense to me and hopefully to you as well. I’m a big advocate of learning as much about accessibility as possible and one of the best ways to do so is to ask questions. If you have questions, comments, anything at all, feel free to post them in the comments. General Technique numero uno: “Adding a link at the top of each page that goes directly to the main content area.” Straight forward enough and extremely helpful. There are many techniques for implementing this type of link and it seems to be one of the most common posts for accessibility around the web. My guess on the popularity is that it’s one of the easiest ways to help make your site more accessible with a minimal amount of work. Take a look at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website. After loading the page, if you press Tab you should see the following on your screen. I’ll most likely be referencing government sites in these posts because they are required (since they are funded by the government) to maintain a certain level of accessibility. If we’re following the WCAG to the T, then the CDC kind of does this incorrectly. “The first interactive item in the Web page is a link to the beginning of the main content.” Looking at the CDC’s site, we can see the first link links a user to the search box. Is it going to be A compliant? Yes, because it’s in the Bypass blocks of the site (Success Criterion 2.4.1). If you read through SC2.4.1 you can see that a set of Bypass Blocks will meet A compliance. That means that it’s the most basic level of compliance and as long as the first links on the page can help a user bypass portions of the page, you’re going to be okay. The CDC takes four tabs to get you to the Site Content link, which is all good, but notice something bad happens when you press enter on the Site Content link and then press Tab again. The next tab takes you back to the top of the page instead of continuing in the tab order of the page. This is a bad experience for anyone using a keyboard, trying to tab through the site so I’d say it fails the 5th test of G1. This problem is extremely easy to solve in the case of the CDC site. By just adding a ‘tabindex=”0″‘ to the div with ‘id=”contentArea”‘. So that’s a quick look at a bypass block and how to handle the first links on your page to meet the accessibility guidelines. The technique here is pretty simple. Just some markup and some CSS. For the CSS we don’t need to do anything fancy. Pretty much anything that isn’t “display: none” will work (display: none removes the content from screen readers). By giving the height and width 1px, this will keep the skip links readable to a screen reader while also hiding all of the content within. When not focused, the links are way off the page. As soon as it gets focus though, the link sticks to the top left, gets some styling and becomes visible for anyone tabbing through the site or listening to a screen reader read the page. You can find more ways to create skip links in the resources below. Visually Disabled – Those with visual disabilities will most likely be using a screen reader of some sort to read a page of content. instead of having to hear each piece of a header (search bar, navigation, logo, etc) a “Skip To Main Content” link will let them jump directly to the main content of the site. Motor Disabilities – Someone who may not be comfortable with a mouse alone may use a keyboard to navigate through the site. By giving them a chance to skip to the main content of the site you are saving them multiple keypresses. By styling the skip links differently you are also giving them a visual indicator as to where they are on the page (WCAG2.0 Focus Visible – will be discussed later).

In computerized promoting, Indonesia has limitations around subjects like dark enchantment, which may appear to be peculiar for India – and yet a tobacco publicizing may be adequate – or, in other words India. As it’s been said, the more customized your item is, the more general it gets. In this day and age, adaption to the neighborhood dialect, needs, culture while extending in remote markets has turned out to be basic.

Published: Sept. 19, 2013 at 05:11 p.m. Updated: Sept. 19, 2013 at 07:09 p.m. Owner Jim Irsay's legendarily chaotic tweeting paid off for the Indianapolis Colts this week. When Irsay sent out word that his general manager was itching to wheel-and-deal for a running back, it didn't take long for the Cleveland Browns to come calling with an intriguing offer. It was the Browns -- not the Colts -- who initiated Trent Richardson trade talks, The Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot reported Thursday, citing several league sources. » Why did Browns do this deal? The overhauled Browns front office saw an opportunity to unload a player who has yet to live up to the lofty expectations of the previous regime, which surrendered four draft picks for the rights to Richardson. Taking advantage of the honeymoon year in Cleveland, the new Browns brass threw in the towel on the No. 3 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, conceded that the No. 22 overall pick in the same draft might lose his job to vagabond Brian Hoyer and demoted the No. 59 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Greg Little, out of the starting lineup. The day's events had to leave the team's fan base wondering if the virtuous circle of stability ever will carry the day, or if fans simply are doomed to a vicious cycle of the excuse-making and responsibility-shifting that naturally accompanies one rebuilding effort after another. It's fair to infer that the Browns questioned Richardson's long-term durability after considering his two knee surgeries, broken ribs, ankle sprain and shin injury in just over a year with the team. It's also fair to point out that Colts general manager Ryan Grigson pulled off a heist, as long as Richardson isn't damaged goods at age 22. Now that the Browns already have paid the entirety of Richardson's $13.34 million bonus, Indy is only on the hook for reasonable base salaries averaging $2.25 million over the next three years. Although Richardson is averaging a troublesome 1.6 yards after contact in his young career, it's worth noting that his overall production through 17 games is eerily similar to that of Emmitt Smith, LaDainian Tomlinson and Ricky Williams at the same stage. Between the injuries, Browns fans rarely had a chance to see Richardson at the peak form that led pundits to laud him as, not only the most complete player in last year's draft, but also the best running back prospect to enter the league since Adrian Peterson. Grigson, who cut his teeth as a longtime scout before landing the Colts job, is confident that Richardson still passes the eye test as a "special" talent. The videos below from Weeks 2 and 5 of the 2012 season -- before Richardson played through multiple cracked ribs -- back up Grigson's analysis. There's a reason why Ravens players are thanking Colts coach Chuck Pagano for removing Richardson from their annual schedule. Get excited, Colts fans. Your new bell cow expects to "play and play a lot" at San Francisco on Sunday.

See for yourself how easy Lox are to use. Lox are very easy to use. Simply push on and then when you want to remove them, just squeeze off. Watch our video here. One day more than eight years ago, Gary Bryant’s wife lost an earring on their gravel drive, despite frantic searching, sadly it was never seen again. This small disaster set Gary thinking. His background is engineering with 14 years in medical engineering, working on life support equipment in hospitals. He couldn’t believe there wasn’t a better solution to conventional earring backs, given how easily and frequently they fail. So in a shed in his garden he started making prototypes. Three years later he found the solution, and made what he believes to be the world’s best earring back. Since then, his amazing invention has been patented and has several patent pending improvements. It’s been scientifically tested for the equivalent of 50 years of daily use without failing – Lox back can actually lift a house brick. Gary insisted that its plastic part is hypoallergenic and biocompatible. The stainless steel element was also tested for nickel release at the Birmingham Assay Office. The results were negative – another milestone passed. After eight years of work Gary’s invention came to market. Since then it has already sold over 80,000 pairs to delighted women (See our Testimonials) and appeared at the Clothes Show at Birmingham’s NEC. Great investment. I bought these after I lost a fairly expensive earring when the back of it fell off in the middle of the day. These earring backs have been amazing – they work exactly as intended and I have peace of mind that I won’t lose another pair of nice earrings the same way. I would recommend these to everyone they’re fantastic value for money and now that I’ve tried them I won’t use any other type of backing again. In a word: Perfect. Good product, does as it says. Swift despatch, packaged well. Would recommend these brilliant earring backs – prevents lost earrings and sore ears as they hold in place safely and firmly but do not have to be so tight to your ear that ear gets sore. Good service too. Heard about these on TV shopping channel. They’d sold out so searched Amazon of course! Have lost a couple of pearl studs at different times in the past and recently had a problem with the backs of quite heavy drop earrings. These solved the problem. Great invention!

Ever since 2010 I've made it my mission to bring to my readers some of the most mind-expanding and truth-revealing documentaries ever made. Most probably none of them will ever be aired on TV, and for a good reason: the powers that shouldn't be don't want us anywhere near this sort of information. An elite group is said to be secretly building an exclusive off-world survival colony on planet Mars. Credible individuals have begun to emerge claiming to have been actual Mars recruits including the great granddaughter of a historically significant American president. Soon, we are immersed deep into the lives of various researchers, experts and whistleblowers who share their extraordinary experiences. These brilliant minds begin to create a surreal picture of reality that transcends even the Mars Agenda, metamorphosing into a cosmic cocktail proclaiming the wisdom of our times. We explore aspects of quantum physics, time-space travel, evolutionary DNA, consciousness, top secret space missions, breakaway civilizations, cycles of planetary procession and the multiverse. Shocking and inspiring, this is a true story of enlightenment, a journey that forces us all to rethink our reality."
