eBay’s transactions are global in the sense that the seller of any particular item decides where he or she agrees to ship to. Out of these user settings, eBay curates the local results the platform returns for any given search. The problem: if a Russian user searches in Russian, only listings created in Russian will show up. Shoppers have to search in English in order to return English listings for a matching product, even if it ships to Russia.
Enter Hassan Sawaf, an expert in machine translation, is attempting to solve eBay’s language troubles with his patented hybrid and context machine translation systems. Together with is team, Sawaf has built an engine that is able to learn from the context of a given word (such as the item description) to understand and translate its meaning. Russian users can now enter search queries in Russian and see matching English results.
eBay is now looking to expand this technology into Spanish and Portuguese, focusing on Brazil and Latin American markets. Whether or not the new technology leads to an increase in actual sales remains to be seen.

To do this, health organizations need data, not just about medical conditions derived from traditional sources like claims, but information and insights derived from a patient’s social conditions. The social determinants of health have proven to correlate with health outcomes and risks.
Here’s the facts uncovered by LexisNexis® Health Care, a company that provides data insights and analytics for payers, providers, life science organizations and the retail pharmacy sector. Social factors are a component in one out of three deaths.1 Social isolation can increase the risk of heart disease by 29 percent, and the risk of stroke by 32 percent.2 Well over half – 75 percent to 90 percent – of primary care visits are due to the effects of stress.3 The top three pressure points are moving, work and family. This type of information is NOT found in traditional claims data. Enter – LexisNexis® Socioeconomic Health Scores.
“Social determinants of health are the X factor,” said Josh Schoeller, Vice President of Healthcare Markets at LexisNexis. The X factors includes things like social isolation or engagement, community life, economic stability, a person’s neighborhood and surrounding environment, and education. In fee-for-service, a physician knowing this information was a good idea. Under value-based care, it’s critical to the entire organization. Data is key.
Patients often have more than one medical record, so that a provider has no idea, Schoeller said, that the person sitting in their office has had two procedures done already. This gets costly. Just the price of a duplicate medical record can be between $50 to $96. “The healthcare landscape is constantly changing and so are identities,” he said. “It’s very critical to keep information up-to-date.” Most healthcare organizations were built to either coordinate or deliver care – not manage data.
LexisNexis recently partnered with an organization that provides consumers with an online and mobile platform through which they can receive information to help the consumer better manage their health. LexisNexis will leverage its identity authentication capabilities, social determinants of health data and analytics to provide intelligent insights that impact how consumers approach their overall health state. For example, the real age test is part of the app and it asks for your age. You may say its 42 but if the program tells you its 44 based on all the information analyzed in the background, you’d better go to the gym more, Josh joked.
The app is based on information from hundreds and hundreds of cohorts, or segments, and leverages member intelligence to improve healthcare. It can pull up information on who is using, and who is taking, their medication. “We do core data management to a unique individual,” Schoeller said.
Once the data is aggregated, it becomes a useful tool in looking at encounters by segments of age and gender, family history, and those social determinants. It’s real-time eligibility validation, dynamic segmentation enabling relevant content, secure and compliant access, enhanced risk assessment and engagement insights.

Shares of Funko Inc. rose more than 5 percent this afternoon after the Everett, Wash.-based maker of the Pop! figurines issued its first earnings report as a public company and announced the $4 million acquisition of UK animation studio A Very Large Evil Corporation.
The company said net sales rose 21 percent to $142.8 million in the quarter ended Sept. 30, while profits were $8.3 million, down from $17.2 million in the same quarter last year but still ahead of Wall Street’s expectations.
A Large Evil Corporation, based in Bath, England, will operate under the name Funko Animation Studios as a result of the acquisition.
Funko is looking to rebound from a difficult IPO in early November, in which its shares fell 41 percent from its initial offering price. Even with the post-earnings bounce, the company’s share price of 9.82 is still well below the original $12/share price of its initial public offering.
Funko CEO Brian Mariotti talks about the IPO aftermath in an interview published today with Bloomberg News: “I’m not going to lie — it was a bit disappointing, a bit shocking. That 24 hours didn’t go as expected, but it put a hell of a lot of fire in each one of our management team’s bellies to prove everyone wrong.

Uwe Rosler discusses team news and expects reaction from Sheffield Wednesday.
Speaking ahead of tonight’s game against Sheffield Wednesday at the DW Stadium in the Sky Bet Championship, Uwe Rosler said he’s ready for a reaction from Stuart Gray’s side after their first away defeat since November last weekend against Yeovil Town.
“The way I know Stuart, he’ll make sure that his players show a reaction and that’s something we’ll have to cope with when the time comes.
“They are a team who have only lost one game in nine away from home and that was at the weekend against Yeovil Town.
Latics arrive back at the DW Stadium tonight for only their second home game in the last eight fixtures, and Rosler said despite a positive run away from home, he’s only focussing on what lies ahead.
“There have been a lot of away games and we’ve done very well, but Sheffield Wednesday are completely different.
“This game will have a different style, we’ll have to compete a lot and bring our qualities into play.
“You could ask me about the previous games and I couldn’t tell you every detail, but you can ask me everything about Sheffield Wednesday because that is what I can answer.
“They know all about us and we know all about them because we only met a month ago, but I don’t know whether we can call it an advantage or a disadvantage.
Yesterday Latics were dealt another cruel, long-term injury blow when the news of Chris McCann’s situation was revealed.
“It’s safe to assume there will be changes for the game,” admitted Rosler.
“The sad news is that Chris McCann’s injury is worse than expected, he had to come off against Manchester City at half time and he has suffered a multiple fracture of the right patella.
“We always seem to do it the hard way, first we lost Ben Watson and now we’ve lost Chris.
“Both of them have been influential players and have been regulars in the first team since I came in as manager.
Uwe's pre-match interview is available to watch on Latics Player by [clicking here] and you can also watch a clip on YouTube as he talks about Chris McCann's injury by [clicking here].
You can still make it to tonight's game against Sheffield Wednesday, with tickets available to buy right up until kick off from the DW Stadium ticket office. Please [click here] for more information.

We had a room on the 3rd floor (no elevator) with a nice view on the river. The room was very functional and clean, a bit old fashion style. The hotel is nicely located at a short walking distance from the old town. Very nice breakfast. Efficient and great service.
"There is no lift so if you have a lot of luggage or difficulties with stairs, don't choose a room on the top floor."
"book one of the two rooms on the top floor: 3 floors to climb (no elevator, but the hosts will be happy to haul your suitcases ) but then you'll be rewarded with a great view!"

Hundreds of people across the county have already signed up to a free app to support young parents. West Sussex County Council has joined up with national charity, Best Beginnings, to officially launch the use of the app called ‘Baby Buddy’, which has been created to help parents, and parents to be, during pregnancy, birth and the first 6 months of a baby’s life.
To mark the launch, the County Council held a ‘Picnic Play Date’ at Langley Green Children and Family Centre in Crawley. Dozens of young parents and children joined healthcare professionals and staff, who were on hand to show parents the app in action and explain how it can help set goals, keep records of any concerns, and track development, all at the tap of a button.
Baby Buddy is just one of the many ways in which the County Council is working to support parents to give their children the best start in life.

According to AppRiver a security company, one fresh phishing e-mail campaign that aims at exploiting users of PayPal is presently doing the rounds online.
Explaining this fresh e-mail campaign, AppRiver said that it was a little different from conventional phishing e-mail campaigns because it sent the malevolent web-page in the form of a file attached to an e-mail instead of a web-link embedded on its message body. Opening the attachment the user landed on a phishing website, which looked exactly same as the PayPal site, and if that user entered any information there it went straight to the phishers.
Thereafter armed with the stolen PayPal credentials, the scammers could move cash from the hijacked PayPal account to some other account. Subsequently, they could make purchases with that cash, request more money as credit to that account, and possibly carry out all that which the actual owner of the PayPal account could in general do with it.
Meanwhile, it isn't only AppRiver that's reporting about phishing campaigns attacking PayPal users. Recently, Avira an anti-virus firm in Germany too reported detecting a similar type of e-mail campaign.
Notably, cyber-criminals have long targeted the PayPal website. In fact, Avira lately revealed that PayPal continued to be that brand which was most phished online as it encountered 57.25% of the total number of phishing assaults spotted during October 2010.
Thus, security specialists from both AppRiver and Avira cautioned Web-users that over the approaching months, they might face scammers' target much more widely in light of heightened buying activities by them. Since, during the holidays, people in general would be purchasing a lot more via their debit and/or credit cards, any fraud on such cards was chanced to be less noted, the specialists observed.
As a result, the specialists recommended netizens that they should maintain account of all purchases they made over the current holiday season.
In the end, they suggested end-users to spare web-links from clicking when they received them through unsolicited e-mails as well as to never view doubtful attachments. Additionally, they must deploy high-quality programs for their computers' security, the specialists advised.

Regardless of whether you’re a medical office, large e-commerce website or local small to medium sized business, both HTML and XML sitemaps are imperative when it comes to the absolute success of your website. In many ways, a sitemap is a map to your success, a list of pages that can take many forms including an HTML listing of page names, a list of all of the page URL’s, machine-readable XML and so on.
Now, since this article is all about how you can build the ultimate XML sitemap for your website I want to first briefly discuss exactly what an XML is. If you know anything about sitemaps you’re probably aware that two of the most common are HTML and XML. There’s a big difference between the two, however, and it’s recommended for each website to have both types of sitemaps because HTML sitemaps are designed for website visitors whereas XML sitemaps are intended for search engines and spiders.
But in this article we are going to talk about XML sitemaps because they are, in fact, most important when it comes to your SEO strategies.
As mentioned, XML sitemaps are solely created for search engines and spiders, providing the URL’s of a website to search engines. They even show important data on how many times a page has been changed or adapted compared to the other URL’s on the same website. The more links that search engines are provided with, the more a website will appear in search results. Obviously, the higher your website is ranked in the search engines, the more visitors you will receive—visitors who could then convert into sales or clients.
Even though you no longer need to code your XML sitemaps by hand, it’s still very much important for you to understand them, how they work and how search engines use them including sitemap protocols, size limits and tags used in sitemaps. You can read more about sitemaps in this detailed article from Google: Understanding Sitemaps.
HTML and XML sitemaps were mentioned earlier because they are the most common, but there are six other types of specialized sitemaps that you can have in order to improve on website traffic to videos, images, mobile websites, news articles and more.
Since we are here to talk about creating the ultimate XML sitemap, there are a variety of ways that one can do so. Now, regardless of what type of business you run it’s more than likely that that you don’t have a slew of time on your hands to spend the many hours it can take to create an XML sitemap manually. If you’re highly skilled perhaps you can get this finished fast, but why even both when there are tools out there like DYNO Mapper that can do the job for you, making your life much easier.
Now, before you dive into creating the sitemap with DYNO Mapper—or manually, for that matter—you will want to perform a solid analysis to figure out the best way to go about building your sitemap.
We already mentioned DYNO Mapper but let’s talk about a sitemap generator for a moment because it’s a lifesaver when it comes to creating HTML and XML sitemaps, as well as multiple sitemaps for very large websites over 50,000 pages. The sitemap generator will look through all of the pages on your site and then list them on the sitemap according to XML sitemap protocol and how you configure the generator.
Sitemap generators will crawl your website from time to time as well so that you can see all of the existing URL’s, broken links, http status codes and so on. Unlike other sitemap generators, DYNO Mapper also offers a variety of other features that can be used on a regular basis to maintain your website with ease such as keyword tracking, accessibility testing, content inventory and auditing tools and even Google Analytics Integration, which is not offered by any other sitemap generator on the market.
When you move forward with creating the ultimate XML sitemap you will need to figure out which URL is going into the sitemap and if your website is huge, which URL’s will go into the sitemap—finding out which pages you want search engines to crawl and index is imperative.
Even if your website isn’t more than 50,000 pages you might want to still create multiple sitemap files; especially if you want a special sitemap for that specialized content of yours including images and videos, you suspect certain sections of your website are at risk for indexation shortcomings and you’ll want to analyze those sections or if you have a very large website. Keep in mind that each sitemap file can only be up to 50,000 URL’s or 50MB—but you can create as many as necessary!
When it comes time to build your perfect sitemap you can either let DYNO Mapper do its work or you can tweak the settings to generate a sitemap that will show the search engines just how you want your website to be crawled. It’s your site, after all, so do what you think is best. You can also test this out a bit, allowing the sitemap generator to do what it was created for, editing the sitemap at a later date. It’s essentially up to you.
If, however, you decide that you’d like to tweak your XML sitemap a bit you can edit your sitemap tags and exclude any URL’s that you’d rather not be indexed by the search engines. For instance, you can exclude the URL’s of your website that are disallowed in robots.txt, duplicate URL’s (a big no-no), private pages and the URL’s that are disallowed via meta noindex tags.
The tweaks mentioned above will take little to no time at all, and you will be on your way to creating and finalizing the perfect sitemap.
If you’re utilizing a sitemap generator, uploading your sitemap to your website will be a breeze. An XML sitemap should always be uploaded at the root directory of your website such as www.example.com/sitemap.xml.
Yippeee! If you’re on this step, you’ve generated your sitemap and successfully uploaded it to the root directory of your website. Now it’s time to check that sitemap and validate it, ensuring that it follows protocol and that it’s saying what you want it to say.
When it comes to validating your sitemap there are quite a few tools out there that will do the job, ensuring that your sitemap will be fully usable by the search engines. DYNO Mapper is one of them and will do this for you seamlessly—but if you’re doing this on your own, you will want to submit your sitemaps to Google Webmaster Tools.
Now, while Google Webmaster Tools are fantastic as being second to Google Analytics as being the best free tool for webmasters, DYNO Mapper offers a slew of ways to test, monitor and maintain your website. Unlike any other sitemap generator on the market, DYNO Mapper offers a Google Analytics Integration feature, a feature that can display Google Analytics data for each page on a sitemap. Users can click the analytic icon to view and compare data from user selected metrics. The Analytics detail page gives you a snap shot of all your important site wide analytics data totals with lists of top content pages.
Even after you’ve created and validated your sitemap you’ll want to manually check your sitemap to ensure that it looks exactly the way you want it to look. For instance, does your sitemap list the pages you want indexed and does it exclude the pages you don’t want indexed like duplicates or private pages?
Now, obviously, you’ll want to finalize the sitemap creation process and ensure it’s submitted to search engines such as Google and Bing. You can do this through Google and Bing Webmaster Tools because these sites can analyze your sitemaps, but you can also have your sitemap generator do this for you. DYNO Mapper will cover every aspect of creating the ultimate XML sitemap from start to finish.
I’m sure you’ve watched (or accidentally caught the end of) those “Set it and Forget it” infomercials for the best rotisserie cooker or crock pot, right? Well, despite what some web developers might think—creating a sitemap is not something you want to set and forget. In fact, your sitemap should be maintained and monitored on a regular basis to ensure that everything is working as it should.
If your sitemap is riddled with errors or warnings it’s going to be much less likely for it to respond well in the search engines. Think about it like this: if your sitemap has errors, how on earth will it be ranked properly and that, my friends is what every website needs to strive for—to be ranked high in the search engines. If for some reason your website isn’t up to par, you can edit it quite simply. The last thing you want are errors and warnings with robots.txt, meta robot tags or any duplicate content.
If your sitemap is 100% on point, however, and has no issues when it comes to how you want your website crawled it won’t hurt to gain insight by comparing its stats to other data points.
As you can probably imagine, a perfect xml sitemap is essentially the best tool for website success. Not only will it help you diagnose indexation shortcomings, you will have the ability to tweak your sitemap to perfection. Your ultimate goal here is to get the right pages indexed. And once you add new content, you will want to get those pages indexed as well. Any issues that arise from your sitemap diagnosis can be fixed in order to help you reach your goal.
You’ve now successfully created the ultimate XML sitemap! Once you’ve wrapped all of this up, you will want to check in on those sitemaps from time to time to make sure everything is going well and that any indexation issues have been sorted.
If you decide to use a software like DYNO Mapper to create your XML sitemap you might want to also take advantage of the software’s other features such as keyword tracking, content inventory and auditing, innovative collaborative tools and more. These tools combined with their top notch XML sitemap generator will make sure that your website is performing just as it should, delivering amazing results and overall success!!

I wrote about my most Anticipated Movies of 2018, and I thought it was time to revisit the list. Didn’t That Come Out Last Year? Not in the UK, sadly, otherwise I’d have seen them already. That’s the problem with Awards season, some of the best films end up straddling the New Year. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri – Martin McDonagh I saw it, it courted controversy for its ambiguous ending and portrayal of racism in small-town America, but I loved it. The Shape of Water – Guillermo Del Toro A beautiful fairytale, no wonder it swept the 2018 awards season.

Growing your own fruits and vegetables is an easy thing to do if you use proper techniques. It reflects a sincere desire on your part to create healthy plants and to see them reach their full potential. These are worthy goals. Just like everything else in life, there’s always room for improvement. Below are a collection of organic gardening tips that will help you to develop your talent.
Clay soil makes working with a shovel difficult. The clay is hard and sticks to the shovel. Coat the shovel with floor or car wax, and buff it with a clean rag to make the job a lot easier. The clay will no longer stick to the shovel, and this also helps to prevent other problems like rusting.
Use biennials and annuals to beautify your flower beds. Using a variety of flowers allows your flower garden to have a different look each season. You can also use these flowers to fill gaps between shrubs or perennials. There are plenty of varieties including petunia, marigold, cosmos, sunflower, hollyhock, and rudbeckia.
When gardening in the fall, you need to be watching for stink bugs. They like fruits, as well as peppers, beans and tomatoes. Decrease their presence as much as possible to avoid them wreaking havoc in your garden.
When mowing your lawn, be careful not to cut the grass too far down. If your grass has more height, roots be able to grow more deeply in the soil, which will make for a stronger lawn and will have a higher resistance to drying out. Short grass is more prone to getting dried out and turning brown.
Vegetables in a backyard garden need to have at least six hours of sun every day in order to thrive. If you neglect this, it is likely that you will notice slow growth and reduced quality in your vegetables Some flowers need the same thing.
If you find that you have soil that has high amounts of alkaline, mix used coffee grounds throughout the soil. The coffee grounds are a very inexpensive way to add acid back into the dirt. You will notice that your vegetables and greens will have a stronger taste.
If you have a lot of low-growing plants to take care of in your garden, purchase gardening knee pads. Spending lots of time on your knees while gardening can injure them and create lasting pain. Having a pair of excellent knee pads for gardening can help cushion the knees to provide additional comfort.
Place at least an inch of mulch that is organic in with your veggies! The soil around plants can stay damper through the use of mulch. It will also prevent weeds from sprouting. Every gardener can appreciate pulling fewer weeds.
Now you know more about organic gardening. Great! The advice in this article was compiled to contribute to your overall knowledge of organic gardening. There is always something new to learn. You might even have learned something you hadn’t known before to use in your organic garden.
Gardening has been around forever and it’s something people have always enjoyed tremendously. Gardening can be a fun hobby or a way to feed your family. The advice in this article will help you to realize what a joy gardening can be in your life.
Put sod down the right way. Before you lay the sod, the soil has to be prepared. Weeds should be removed, and you should break up the soil into a tilth. Lightly, but firmly pack the soil down, and make sure that it is flat. Afterward, you want to make sure the soil is moistened. Be sure to stagger the rows of sod. The joints should be offset like bricks in a wall. Pat your sod to form an even and flat surface, fill any gaps with some soil. Water the sod everyday for the first two weeks until the roots grow enough.
Starting a garden with the best soil is a great defense mechanism against pests. Healthy plants grown in robust and enriched soil have an advantage in fighting pest infestation. Start your garden off with a high-quality soil that you can enrich over time.
Brighten up your flower beds with annuals and biennials. These types of flowers grow at high speed, which gives you more flexibility in changing the look of your flower beds as the seasons change. Use these beautiful flowers to line your driveway, surround trees and shrubs, and for decorative hanging baskets. There are many different varieties to choose from such as daisies, marigolds, impatiens, and lantana.
If you have any mildew on the plants, do not go out and buy anything. Put a little baking soda and some dish soap in water. Spray this solution on plants once weekly until the mildew is gone. This solution is perfectly safe for your plants and gently treats mildew in a short amount of time.
If you have a wall or fence that you do not like, plant climbers to mask its appearance. They can be used to cover up unsightly fences or walls. Often, they can grow enough to cover up an eyesore in one season. You can direct them over certain branches or boards, or you can send them through plants you already have. Sometimes the plants will require being tied to supports, but some climbers will attach themselves naturally. Climbing roses, honeysuckle, wisteria, clematis, and jasmine are some great plants to try out.
As previously discussed, gardening has been a source of enjoyment for centuries. A long time ago, it was often the only way to feed yourself and family. In these times, gardening can be an enjoyable hobby, a backyard source for fresh veggies, or an income generator. Whatever your reason for gardening, the hints and tips in the following article can make your experience easier and more enjoyable. Enjoy the pluses that go with a garden!

Friday’s announcement comes three weeks after Boeing announced its intent to deliver the first tanker in October.
The long-awaited tanker replaces the KC-135 air refueling tankers that dominate McConnell’s two air refueling wings, the 22nd and 931st Air Refueling Wings.
McConnell was designated as the first base to receive the tankers. The base has about 3,000 airmen and employs about 500 civilians. Altus Air Force Base in Oklahoma and Pease Air National Guard Base in New Hampshire also will receive tankers in the first round of deliveries.
Eventually, McConnell will have 36 KC-46s, replacing its fleet of KC-135s that were manufactured between 1957 and 1963.
McConnell Air Force Base held a ribbon cutting ceremony Oct. 16, 2017, to signify completing the preparation for the arrival of the KC-46A Pegasus.

So what's so dark about my view? Well, read on and I think you'll find out.
First and foremost, I am a proud Philadelphian, born and raised, having spent three and a half decades in the city of neighborhoods. And I have a tremendous and unabashed passion for sports.
Right there along with you I've had the pleasure of watching Tug McGraw throw that final pitch in 1980 ending a century long drought for a baseball team that desperately needed a championship, and I've suffered miserably after Mitch Williams final pitch in 1993. I can still hear the crack of Joe Carter's bat. I remember being on Broad St. in 1983 after the Good Doctor and Moses brought the championship home and being overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all. I still get chills thinking about it. But I've also suffered through the 2001 season and championship series. When Allen put the team on his back and stole that first game, he became a Philly legend in my eyes and to many others. The man wore his heart on his sleeve for this city and I'll always remember him as my favorite Sixer.
I LOVE THIS CITY down to the sky blue and yellow flag that represents it. I've shared all the sports highs and lows as each of you.... well not exactly. You see, I have to divulge a secret. And I hope you don't hold it against me, but I know you will, and that's okay.
I am a Cowboys fan.
Ok, there, I said it. I wanted to get that out in the open so we have no secrets between us. I feel so relieved to get that off my chest.
But please stay with me as I am NOT the prototypical Cowboys fan: obnoxious, front running, band wagon jumping and on and on. Basically all the things Howard Eskin says to Cowboys fans who call into his show. And by the way, Eskin is done. Go up the dial to Jody Mac on 950 instead of Eskin. You'll never go back to �IP again, trust me.
One thing I guarantee and that is mine will not be an Eagles hate column nor Cowboys love fest. On the contrary, I see something the Eagles are doing well, I will say so, just as I will when the Cowboys do something not so well. No, what you can expect from me is my honest & true opinions on all things Philly and beyond. We may delve into pop culture from time to time. I pretty much go where my mind tells me to.
You may agree, disagree, hate or like my opinions, I just ask you respect them, as I respect yours.
I am Justin Berndlmaier and this is The View From the Dark Side.

Predictions for the Winter of 2014 (Part 2 of ?) – A Psychic's View of . . .
We’re barely into the winter of 2013, but I’m going to talk about 2014 some more. This is an addendum to the 2014 winter conditions.
Folks, I’m still seeing serious conditions for the winter of 2014. However, I do see some potential help in the form of weather conditions during the summer of 2013 helping to alleviate the drastic 2014 winter.
Weather patterns are such that each day or week or month or year of weather is a stair step from the previous day or week or month or year. Each weather pattern impacts the next pattern, which then impacts the next and so forth and so on.
I am seeing that if we have a very hot summer of 2013, this will help alleviate the energy contributing to the patterns leading up to the winter of 2014. I see a reciprocal effect. If the heat temperatures are extreme during the summer of 2013, the winter temperatures will go up. If the summer of 2013 temperatures are mild, the winter 2014 temperatures will be lower and the conditions harsher.
With this, in Colorado especially, I see blizzards and blizzards. I see potentially 4-5 weeks of steady blizzard storms being so bad as to cause Colorado potentially to be declared a national disaster area.
This is not a normal winter of a blizzard going through for a few days and then the sun coming out. This is an experience of virtually no one seeing the sun for 5 weeks or so with storm after storm after storm over and over creating the effect of seeing no end in sight for a long period of time. I see winds and snow constantly and continuously requiring people to take emergency steps to get through this.
This is why I pray for healthier weather patterns – because I see people suffering and people dying through a winter like this. This is why I pray and meditate now, so that weather patterns can be normalized by whatever way may be available for us to help.
This that I see in Colorado will be equaled in the New England states.
Those of you who like to ski and snowboard in Colorado, there will be times for you to enjoy it, but I see it being safer earlier in the season – before mid-December or way later in the season – March. The second half of December will be storms with some lessening in the first half of January, but not much. Then the 2nd half of January it will hit until March and as of today, I see it hitting hard.
This entry was posted in 2014, After 2013, Earth Changes, Global Warming, Weather and tagged Colorado, Colorado weather, Gulf of Mexico, New England, Predictions, predictions for 2014, Weather, Winter. Bookmark the permalink.
A good read read – thank for the information.
Tonight is December 8, 2013. I live in the state capitol of Vermont. We are getting 5 inches of snow tonight and sleet. I am concerned that school might be cancelled tomorrow.
I’m sorry I’m getting to this after the 9th.
In general, you’re going to have a few times that the schools will be cancelled this winter, but on the whole, while I see a very cold Vermont winter, I also see that Vermont citizens know how to handle cold weather. The closing of the schools will be of very short durations and after it’s said and done, you won’t really have noticed that much. You have the equipment and substructure in your state that will help to keep a somewhat continuing flow of ability for your businesses, organizations and families. I don’t see any winter weather in Vermont that would cause any greater damage or social stoppage than say a hurricane. The worst I see for Vermont is one storm that contributes to a 3-4 day work stoppage. I see it possibly in late January and/or early February. 1-2 of these only. The rest will be 1 day stoppages only – scattered throughout the time. This isn’t all that abnormal for the Northeastern states. Again, on the whole, you’re going to have a long cold winter, but not anything that you can’t handle.
Vermont’s springtime will come near the end of March. This also is to be expected. So, wait until March to start planting the seeds that will go into the garden in April.
Thank you, Jodi for opened my eyes why its important to keep the Rainforest to balance the weather. Its perfectly make sense.
Silly question. Can the trees see, feel and hear us? Sometimes I sensed they can.
The trees experience life as trees do. Although they have no fleshly eyes, nervous systems and ears as fleshly humans, they do experience internal and external sensations and impacting forces. They are alive with consciousness at the level at which they exist. Remember, these are not “Tree Consciousnesses”, but rather Spirit Consciousnesses existing inside the physical form of the tree. Consciousness exists at all levels of life including levels of life that we are not even aware that exist.
If anyone has the chance to experience the giant Sequoias, it’s difficult to not be aware of these beings existing in these spots for over a thousand years.

As Chief Theresa Spence continues her hunger strike, her request that Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Governor General meet with Chiefs to discuss treaties has many Canadians wondering what relevance treaties could possibly hold today. Anticipating this uncertainty, I wrote a pamphlet with the Mohawk scholar, Taiaiake Alfred, which was widely distributed both in the US and in Canada during recent ‘Idle No More’ events. The pamphlet laid out in clear and concise language the concrete practical and legislative steps necessary to advance the goal of reconciliation. The outline was based on the recommendations laid out in the 1996 Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. This Royal Commission, the most comprehensive and expensive in Canada’s history, determined that achieving the goal of reconciliation necessarily entails the restoration of a ‘treaty relationship’.
I recall being a bit confused but mostly just ambivalent the first time I heard Indigenous peoples in Canada invoke the concept of a ‘treaty relationship’. I was twelve years old and it was the height of what would come to be known as the Oka Crisis. To me, treaties were boring relics – artifacts excavated from Canadian history – of interest to history teachers. As I grew older, I was fairly certain that treaties were irrelevant to modern Canada and to modern citizens like myself. What relevance they might hold did not seem to bear on my life in the same way as did taxes or elections. That youthful confusion and ambivalence was displaced over the years by a realization in my adult life that if Canada was to claim legitimacy as a nation as opposed to a complex colonial encampment, that legitimacy must derive from the founding treaties that made Canada possible. Accordingly, I recognized that my identity as a Canadian, as opposed to a mere occupier or colonizer, was dependent on the status of those treaties. The stakes couldn’t be higher.
I had always understood that agreements made before I was born formed the conditions of my Canadian citizenship and identity. I am Canadian by pure accident of birth, yet still I recognized that I was born into a society constituted by certain historical events, acts, and agreements that more or less structure the obligations we have to others. Take our relationship to the United States and to Americans, for example. I acknowledge that Canada has no right to impose any territorial, political or cultural arrangement upon them. Likewise, they have no right to impose theirs upon us. Why? Because of treaties and agreements, some old and some new. Specifically, because of the 1814 Treaty of Ghent, the Convention of 1818, the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842, and the Oregon Treaty of 1846, which established the territories and borders of Canada. Within this context, Canada was constituted as a nation through various acts and declarations, e.g., The Royal Proclamation of 1763, the British North America Act of 1867, and the Constitution Act of 1982.
These treaties and constitutional events reflect historical compacts between peoples – agreements that established our right to exist autonomously as Canadians rather than as British subjects or Americans. Of course, there are still a handful of disagreements over the details of the treaties between the US and Canada (e.g. the Dixon Entrance), but the lack of precise territorial borders, or cultural borders for that matter, does not take away from the spirit of the agreement. A number of international agreements detail our right to cultural integrity as well. The US is obliged by virtue of being a signatory to various international treaties and UN declarations not to organize any political assault on other cultures. We are distinct nations – our covenants are nation-to-nation. Our disagreements – including our very borders – are not settled, even after centuries of dialogue. Yet we respect each other as legitimate and autonomous in the absence of perfect borders.
The point I wish to make here is that the legitimacy of Canada and of Canadians as a people is constituted by historical treaties and agreements that contemporary citizens did not consent to but nevertheless benefit from and are obligated to uphold. We recognize the violation of such treaties as unjust. Imagine if citizens of Washington State decided that because they did not personally sign the Treaty of 1818 they could unilaterally assert ownership over the majority of British Columbia. Ridiculous, right? Or imagine if the United States decided to divest Canada of its traditional political structures and impose its own, arguing that the treaties that safeguard our borders and cultures were established in a distant past and so cannot be taken seriously today. Imagine if the US effectively interpreted our defining treaties like China’s so called ‘Seventeen Point Agreement for the Peaceful Liberation of Tibet’, which most sane people recognize as China’s transparent attempt to justify the imperial, colonial occupation of Tibet. Consider China’s claim that Tibet is unfit to govern itself, or that something called “unity” is always preferable to divisiveness. Sound familiar?
I came to see that a similarly ridiculous and transparent disregard for official treaties and more informal conventions is reflected in our dealings with Indigenous nations, whom we once acknowledged as organized and autonomous political nations. Understanding the present means coming to terms with the fact that we stand today in violation of these original agreements, in violation of the 1763 Royal Proclamation/1764 Treaty at Niagara; in violation of international agreements such as 2007 UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and in violation of our own 1982 Constitution Act sec. 35(1). I was struck by the realization that you and I are involved in a criminal neglect of the very treaty obligations undertaken in the course of identifying ourselves as a people; if we ignore them we only exist on this land as illegitimate occupiers.
Instead of taking responsibility and recognizing the foundational status of its treaties, Canada continues to enforce a form of colonial rule over Indigenous peoples, most straightforwardly through legislation contained in the archaic Indian Act. Problems abound in band politics defined by the Indian Act, a fact that is entirely predictable and unsurprising. Is there any doubt that Tibet, too, has problems with political corruption? Is there any doubt that any demand for greater ‘accountability’ or ‘transparency’ in Tibetan governance misses the point that Chinese interference in Tibet is the problem?
But lest you think the situation is too far gone – and before you acquiesce to the permanence of injustice while shrugging your shoulders at such seemingly vast and intractable problems – remember that the research has already been done, the difficult conversations have already taken place, and the solutions are in the books, waiting to be instituted. They exist in the spirit of the original treaties and agreements, and even in our Constitution, but they are also delineated in concrete institutional terms in the four-year Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples. The practical recommendations articulated in the RCAP offer a path forward. It is not perfect, but then no agreement is. Just as current disputes between Canada and the US are informed and constrained by an old treaty relationship that defines us, the dialogue that will necessarily go on between Canada and Indigenous nations in the future must be informed and constrained by the treaties we have made – the very treaties that establish the legitimacy of Canada and of being Canadian.
Tobold Rollo is a PhD candidate in the department of political science at the University of Toronto. He specializes in political theory, specifically democratic theory, and Canadian politics. He co-authored the Resetting and Restoring the Relationship between Indigenous Peoples and Canada Idle No More pamphlet with Taiaiake Alfred.

The concept of dwelling entertainment and indoor leisure actions changed when house electronics invaded our lives. 1 Although people’s consideration is held by various things, because individuals have completely different preferences in entertainment, most types are recognisable and acquainted. The more normal and public types of entertainment are much less interactive and there seems to be this primary contradiction as all private forms of entertainment are extra interactive and public forms of entertainment are more personal and private.
Apart from sports activities which have world-wide enchantment and competitions, such because the Olympic Games , the entertainment worth of a sport will depend on the tradition and nation in which it’s performed. Plays , 86 musicals , 87 monologues , pantomimes , and performance poetry are part of the very lengthy history of theatre, which can be the venue for the type of performance generally known as stand-up comedy 88 In the 20th century, radio and television , usually broadcast live, prolonged the theatrical custom that continued to exist alongside the new kinds.
Dwell performances use specialised venues, which may be small or large; indoors or outside; free or expensive. There are three methods of reviewing an act: You possibly can (1) go see the act perform reside, (2) watch a video of the act, or (3) have the act come audition for you. It additionally embody all three forms, demanding a high level of musical and dramatic talent, collaboration and like the masque, production expertise as properly.
The expertise enabled individuals to see, hear and take part in all the acquainted kinds – tales, theatre, music, dance – wherever they live. one hundred eighty People and firms use video hosting providers to broadcast content material that is equally accepted by the general public as respectable entertainment. In addition to the entertainers, who nonetheless make the scene, there are other types of entertainment that take place at varied night clubs, depending on where you go.
The one problem in reality is that there is not sufficient spectacular groundbreaking movies and stage performances to saturate the market and keep dvd gross sales and ticket sales up. It takes an enormous quantity of artistic output and a few luck to provide you with one thing that is just outrageous sufficient to captivate audiences for generations and not be forgotten among the many stacks of okay and semi-first rate formulation motion pictures.

The mulch in the photo below is doing some good, but it is too thin. Weeds are growing through. What is needed is a light-proof layer below the mulch (e.g. cardboard or a newspaper) and a thicker layer of compostable mulch.
The courgette plants are well established and getting bigger. It will soon be difficult to weed between them and the soil will dry out if left un-mulched.
These plants will now grow well. No need to weed or water them again! Continue all around and between each plant until no bare soil remains.
(For information – these plants gave a fabulous crop and were not watered at all in the very dry and hot summer of 2018). No weeds bothered them either.
Newspaper and grass clippings, a really good combination.
The photo below shows it mid-mulching. This can be used between crops or over a wide area before planting (use a trowel or similar to make a hole through the paper and into the soil when planting).
Mulching onion sets straight after planting.
The onion sets have been planted with a dibber in undug soil that was mulched last year. A single sheet of newspaper was placed on top and a further layer of mulch to weigh the paper down. This combination prevents weed growth in the onion bed.
The garlic was planted and mulched in the previous autumn in a similar way to the onions, as described above. Once the garlic plants have emerged and are growing well a further mulch of paper and grass cuttings or similar is added between the rows. Wood chips used on the path. Almost no weeds appeared at all in this bed.
Winter is a good time to bag up mulch ready for later.
The easiest method of all – use woven weed-control fabric.
The fabric does need to be secured, see the broken slab and the wood chips, to prevent it blowing away in windy weather.

The HTC Google G2 Phone is the latest entrant into the android touch screen smart phone line up of HTC. As it is a “special� one: this phone has not yet been released in the United States, and has only a very limited release internationally, I have great interest of full disclosure to let you know this mobile phone. The HTC Google G2 Phone is known internationally as the HTC Magic, and it is a pretty snazzy phone.
The HTC Magic smart phone Google G2 is enclosed in a cool white plastic case. It has a slightly protruding bottom that does not hinder the sleekness of its design in any way. A wide 3.2-inch touch screen sprawls on the face of the phone. The LCD TFT screen is vibrant and colorful with its high HVGA 320X480 pixel resolution. The screen attracts fingerprints but this is a commonly found blip in most touch screen phones in the market today. There is also a trackball for navigation. The absence of a physical QWERTY keyboard on this wholly touch screen operated phone has helped the phone knock off some of its weight and appear slimmer.
The alluring wrapping of the HTC Magic is augmented by the android software platform that it uses as its brain. This software ensures fast and high performance of applications of the phone. The superior quality android operating system also allows you to add new applications and games to your HTC Magic smart phone through the android market by exploring options like ‘shopping’, ‘arcade’, ‘social’ and ‘travel’.
Android software in the mobile phone also implies more customization- users can tailor the handset to meet their specific needs by swapping the home screen, applications or even the dialer style. The Android software also lets you access third party applications and not just the core applications and data on the phone. This makes the HTC Magic more open.
The phone has integrations with Google applications. Google Talk, G mail, Google search, Google calendar are some of the applications accessible via the HTC Magic. Google Street view has been integrated with the phone’s mapping applications making it possible to view streets virtually to find out the way. The phone’s GPS facility supports efficacious working of maps.
The HTC Magic has a 3.2 Mega pixel auto focus enabled camera for the masterpiece photograph.. Its powerful video recording capabilities allows you to post videos directly on You Tube or share videos with friends via e-mail or MMS. It is capable of playing media files including videos and audio files. The video looks perfect with the 480x320 pixels screen and the music sounds beautiful. It supports only video formats like MP4 and 3GP which is slightly less when compared to the current standards of android mobiles. That’s doesn’t matter, third party software like [url=***********.nidesoft.com/dvd-to-mobile-converter.html]Nidesoft DVD to Mobile Converter can convert DVD videos to HTC Magic video and [url=***********.nidesoft.com/video-converter.html]Nidesoft Video Converter can convert all other formats video to HTC Magic video. It also supports rang of audio files including MP3, AAC, WMA, WAV and OGG, and the third party software can also be used for audio files.
The phone has high performance Internet mettle due to the presence of HSDPA with a speed of 7.2 Mbps and Wi Fi support. Fast downloads make your mobile Internet experience on the HTC Magic a joy. Stereo Blue tooth connectivity is also present in the phone.
The battery life of HTC G2 is much longer than HTC G1. The stand by time is 660 hours for WCDMA and 420 hours for GSM. The talk time is 400 minutes for WCDMA and 450 minutes for GSM. The 1340 mAh Lithium-ion battery is rechargeable.
Based on what I’ve seen, the HTC Magic seems like a really solid device. We like the Magic, maybe even love it a little bit. But it is a little disappointed at its price of about 6oo dollars, much higher than the new iPhone 3G S and the new Palm Pre.
"Here I want to share with you a very good tool for you to convert nearly any conpatible video or audio formats into your mobile phone. It is name is[url=***********.xilisoft.com/mobile-video-converter.html] Xilisioft Mobile Video Converter[/url] !

Futhermore, it still have a very special function which can make you are like a movie director. That is it can turn picture collection into video.

One more thing, you may care about whether it will support your mobile phone or not, now I want to tell you just use it don't worry about it !

DAVID SILVA loves being just another face in the crowd when he isn’t dazzling English football with his sublime Spanish skills.
David Silva should be anything but anonymous when you consider the fact he has won the biggest prize of all – a World Cup.
Despite his triumph in South Africa last summer, a European Championship win and an impressive first season for Manchester City, Silva insists he can still go shopping without even getting noticed.
But the wizard from Gran Canaria shouldn’t get too comfortable with his quiet life away from the game, because it could all be about to change.
In fact, Silva might want to invest in a disguise if he helps Roberto Mancini’s men beat Stoke at Wembley today to win the FA Cup.
City can land their first trophy since 1976 and if they end 35 years of hurt, then every single one of Mancini’s side will become instant legends – Silva included.
Not that the former Valencia star would mind giving up his peace and quiet if it meant City had ended their long wait for silverware.
Silva said: “I like a nice, quiet life and spend a lot of time with the family.
“I’m very, very happy and am enjoying my time here.
“Even when I go out on the streets it’s nice to go unnoticed and when people do come up and say ‘hello’ they are both nice and respectful. The thing that has surprised me, amazed me, is that you can just have a normal life.
“You can just go out. In Spain it’s really tough to go anywhere because people are in your face.
“Here it’s marvellous. I live on the outskirts but it’s been a real pleasant surprise for me.
“But winning the Cup would be as meaningful as anything for me in the sense that it has been a good while since City won a trophy or even got into a final.
“I know how important it is for the people who follow this club.
City fans would argue that Silva has given them more than enough already. The attacking midfielder, 25, arrived in a blaze of glory after his success with Spain and has lived up to his star billing.
He has become an integral part of Mancini’s plans and played a major role in helping the big spenders secure Champions League qualifi cation for the fi rst time in the club’s history. An FA Cup triumph over Tony Pulis’ men would be the icing on the cake for Silva.
But he could be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about when he steps out for his fi rst fi nal in the oldest club competition in the world.
Roberto Di Matteo having watched fi nals on TV while growing up.
Yet Silva is not like the rest and revealed he has never even watched a final – let alone played in one.
He said: “It’s always been such a big tournament here but I don’t even know if it’s on live television back home.
“I didn’t see it, to be honest.
“But when you spend a lot of time in football you maybe don’t watch the games all the time.
Silva might be small in size but his stature on the pitch is immense and he has no fears about whatever tactics Pulis’ Potters might use to stop him.
He is even happy to be singled out for special attention because he reckons the Blues have so much talent that they can not only win the cup but build towards emulating Barcelona’s dominance of European football.
He added: “We are on the right lines because what we’ve done this season is very positive.
“We’ve got to a fi nal and reached the top four, the Champions League, so this is the plan we need to follow in the next few years. That same upward curve.
“We aim to be fi ghting for trophies on all fronts.
“We’re starting to do things now and to achieve.
“Let’s hope it’s the start of bigger things to come.
“The aim is to be fighting on all fronts, for all titles and as soon as possible.
“What you have to notice about Barcelona is that it hasn’t happened overnight.
“They’ve been working in the same style for a good number of years now.
“Everyone knows their jobs when they go on that field and have confi dence in what they want to achieve.
“They all work hard but it’s certainly something we have to be aiming for, and why not?
“The fact that there are lots and lots of small footballers, some even smaller than me, in English football shows that size doesn’t matter.
“In terms of Stoke, we know they are a big side and play with a lot of aggression.
“We know they will be hard to beat but at the same time it’s a fi nal and we go in there with a lot of desire and belief that we can beat them.

Modern history, starting with the independence of the country in 1960 AD, is marked by important historical moments that stigmatize the city and the whole island as well. With the Turkish invasion in Cyprus in 1974, the Turkish Cypriot inhabitants of the city move to the northern part of the island and respectively, many Greek Cypriots settle in Limassol. Several years later, in 2004, Cyprus becomes an official member of the European Union.

Photo of Buick Regal by IFCAR via Wikimedia Commons.
General Motors is recalling 42,984 2011 model-year Buick Regal sedans equipped with eight-way power adjustable front seats, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported.
In these cars, the power seat wiring harness may contact the seat frame and cause the wires to chafe. The chafed harness wires, in turn, may cause a short circuit that increases the risk of fire, NHTSA said.
The recall covers vehicles manufactured from Nov. 3, 2009, to March 25, 2011.
Dealers will inspect and secure the wiring harness, and repair any chafed wires. There will be no charge for this service.
Vehicle owners can reach Buick customer service at (800) 521-7300. GM’s number for this recall is 30710.

The NZ Transport Agency is to work with the Pukerua Bay Residents Association and the local school to replant on the seaward side of SH1at Pukerua Bay.
The replanting is to be undertaken in late August - as part of a project to strengthen the retaining wall on Pukerua Bay Hill.
The old stormwater culvert at the SH1 site between Wairaka Road and Pukerua Bay Beach Road has been upgraded, and earthworks are nearing completion, says NZTA state highway manager, Wellington, Rob Whight.
Large soil nails are currently being inserted into the bank at the strengthened retaining wall, and this work is expected to be finished by October, Mr Whight says.
The strengthening project is designed to provide route security for road users, while also upgrading the shared pedestrian and cycle path.
Mr Whight says the work at this site, and another SH1stretch just north of Onepu Road, has enabled the width of the footpath to be increased to 2.5metres wide, with protective fencing and barriers on either side. The upgraded path is expected to be completed by September.
Meanwhile the community project to replant the hillside nearest the village is scheduled for August 28.
The residents association is providing new plants, which will be funded by NZTA and planted out by the students from Pukerua Bay School. This community-spirited event will include a barbecue hosted by NZTA.
Mr Whight says NZTA thanks the community for its involvement and cooperation.

I would recommend booking your honeymoon at least 6-9 months in advance. Many popular destinations book fast especially during peak season, which is June-August in most places.
Set a honeymoon budget- how much you will be spending on the honeymoon. Remember that many places offer “excursions” that cost extra but add to the experience.
Book your hotel and flight (if necessary) as soon as you can!
Book a rental car if necessary (check on the age requirements if you will be doing this).
Remember, places south of the equator have opposite seasons!

2010 is upon us. I am amazed that it has been a decade since all the fear and speculation of Y2K. Take a moment to review your personal technological transformation in the last 10 years.
Zero-day exploits are when an attacker can compromise a system based on a known vulnerability but no patch or fix exists. Even a couple of years ago, zero-day exploits were pretty rare. They have become a very serious threat to information security. Many of these zero-day flaws reside in browsers and popular 3rd party applications. In November 2009 alone, Microsoft announced zero-day flaws in IE 6 and 7 and a Windows 7 zero-day vulnerability. Zero day vulnerabilities are being discovered in traditionally very secure protocols such as SSL and TLS as well.
The zero-day vulnerability may not even be in your systems, it could be in your providers. For example, web hosting provider Vaserv had an attack against 100,000 of their websites based on a zero-day exploit. The HyperVM software they were using to run many virtual websites was compromised. In this attack, the perpetrators destroyed the sites. Some companies did not have backups of website data and files.
Cloud computing is a concept that is becoming very popular. While it still means a lot of things to a lot of people, using cloud based (i.e. Internet based) applications may not be as secure as you might hope. There were many stories in 2009 regarding cloud based security. Many are calling for forced encryption to access many of these services. While it seems ludicrous that this isn't done by default, you can't simply assume cloud apps are secure.
Some cloud computing security threats come in the form of vulnerabilities such as the October 2009 story that attackers exploited a web application flaw to hijack Yahoo Mail accounts. This was a brute force attack where the hackers use software to systematically guess the passwords. Someone even went so far as to post the passwords, where there were many common ones such as "password” and "123456”. Poor password policies and software that doesn't limit this type of attack will always lead to compromise.
As cloud computing becomes more popular in the next few years, we will see the issue of cloud security become a very big issue. There will be no shortage of cloud based security issues in 2010.
According to the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission's annual report to Congress, US Defense Department computer systems have been the target of cyber incidents 43,785 times in the first half of 2009, which if it continues at that pace will be a 60% increase over 2008.
For one-third of US government agencies, security incidents are a daily occurrence.
A National Journal article talks about America's use of cyber terrorism tactics.
60 minutes reported on US cyber security in November 2009. While there was quite a bit of sensationalism, the piece spoke about verified incidents of cyber espionage including those targeting and compromising the countries power grid, military computer systems, and much more.
An attack on an alleged Syrian nuclear facility was aided by a compromised laptop.
Evidence of North Korean involvement in July cyber attacks.
The U.S. government opens a new cyber security operation center designed to help the government coordinate cyber attack responses.
There is an interesting article entitled "Cybercriminals have penetrated the U.S. electrical grid”. It is an interesting article showing the use of malware to map the entire network and grid.
Over the years it has gotten more and more difficult to classify threats because so many of them are blended. For example, a social engineering technique will be used to get someone to click on a link that infects their system with malware that is based on a zero-day exploit. Very few attacks utilize a single method.
You could take the top 10 threats and look at them another way. The threats from insiders (for the most part) include malicious insiders, careless and untrained insiders, social engineering attacks, mobile devices and social networking. Vulnerability exploit includes malware, exploited vulnerabilities, zero-day exploits and even some cloud computing and cyber espionage threats. But these broad based threat categories don't help create mitigation strategies. Obviously you will have different tactics to deal with careless employees as opposed to malicious employees. The solutions you employ to deal with the threats from social networking will be different than those from social engineering.
This threat was certainly a major player in 2009. Due to the downturn in the economy, this jumped into the top 10 for the first time in 2009. While 71 percent of SMBs believe a data security breach could put them out of business, three quarters froze or cut security spending according to a McAfee survey. While this will likely continue to negatively affect organizations in 2010, it is not listed in the top 10. This is primarily due to so many other threats increasing so dramatically.
Remote workers still represent a threat to organizations, however, this threat used to focus on an infected laptop being connected to the network. Today the greatest threat is not just remote workers, but all the various forms of mobile media they use. So in reality, this threat has morphed into the "mobile media” threat listed above.
Again, due to the downturn in the economy that hit so hard in 2009, it was projected that many vendors would reduce service quality or go out of business. While this happened, there is only anecdotal evidence of reduced service quality. All-in-all most companies faired better than expected.
This was a problem in 2009. For example, areas of the US government banned the use of peer-to-peer software which enables the download of software that could be infected with Trojans, spyware, or other malware. A bill was even introduced in the US House of Representatives that would prohibit the use of P2P file-sharing technology in government computers. This is in response to a flurry of problems with sensitive data being leaked via P2P as well as malicious downloads. While downloaded software still poses a threat to organizations, it simply cannot be put in the top 10 for 2010.
An Internet based "pump and dump” stock scheme netted 2.7 million.
Climate research documents stolen and posted to the Internet just before the international climate summit. The documents supposedly show that researchers are not disclosing research that isn't in support of climate change.
Several high profile celebrities passed away during 2009. Inevitably what followed were false media reports, compromised Twitter accounts sending false information, and Facebook and other social media outlets exploited over the news.
Some celebrities didn't even have to pass away to become fodder for this type of behavior. Brittney Spears, Jeff Goldblum and others were victims of Macking.
While this is still in its infancy stage, manipulating the media through online means will become an effective tool in criminal arsenals.
Information security is an ever evolving discipline that requires tremendous expertise, time, and money to effectively manage. Each of the top 10 threats for 2010 could be broken out into a separate whitepaper with mitigation strategies, tactics, and solutions. Every organization should take stock of what they are doing today, how well their current solutions mitigate the risk of the top 10 threats, and make adjustments where necessary. In some cases, new technology should be implemented. Other technology may be of little value and can be discarded. Other threats will only be able to be addressed through policies, procedures, training and enforcement. Proper information security is fluid and dynamic. Be sure your organization is properly preparing itself for what cyber criminals, thieves, spammers, phishers, hackers, and all manner of society's underbellies are planning to do to exploit you in 2010.

Otherkin is a new band from Dublin, Ireland.
College pals Luke, Conor and David first had the idea for the band in 2010, but Otherkin did not coalesce until they found drummer Rob “on the internet” in late 2012, drawn together by a shared love of early Noughties “The” bands (Strokes / Hives / Vines / Libertines).
After a couple of hand-made, self-released releases, Otherkin hit their stride with the rambunctious grunge-pop single “Ay Ay”, which came to the attention of leading Irish indie label Rubyworks (home of Hozier, Rodrigo y Gabriela) in early 2015.
The 201 EP - their debut outing for Rubyworks - is a quartet of quivering, shivering bangers sure to light a fire in even the most jaded soul. The EP corrals the aforementioned ‘Ay Ay’ into the bruising company of new radio track ‘Feel It’, plus two more brand new songs ‘20 To 11’ and ‘Love’s A Liability’.
Otherkin made its UK festival debut at Leeds / Reading in summer 2015, and the band is currently on its first full-length British tour, before heading back to Ireland to open for Britpop icons Ash on winter dates.
2016 looks bright already with confirmed shows at Eurosonic (Netherlands), The NME Awards (London) and The Great Escape (Brighton).

aqueous media | Sketching … Always!
This past week or so, I have been working on sketches, lots of sketches … and yesterday I executed a very quiet one.
I had walked through town, past the shops and restaurants along the pedestrian mall, across and under the railroad tracks a few times, and even as far east as the old coal tower. I visually explored, looking for new ways to see the familiar sites. I tried to look deeply; I sketched and even took a few photos to perhaps use as reference for later in the studio. The one image that most intrigued me was far from the obvious. I even worked it up in a manner that I only rarely use.
Stopping in a small public park near my old studio, I began, and almost completed, the piece on site. The park is dedicated to the memory of a regional war hero and it has a traditional and quite handsome equestrian statue in the middle of the park. What interested me though was the sunlight bathing the delicately carved white stone base as well as the winter shrubs surrounding the statue.
As I said, this little ink and pencil piece is quite a bit different from most of my current sketch work. A more typical piece is the one I did a building just four blocks away or the one of the coal tower. Most often, I add watercolor over pencil and sometimes I will add a touch of ink … either with pen or brush. I tend to work fairly quickly once the drawing is “blocked-in” to my satisfaction. I usually strive to keep the end result loose and painterly as you can see below. This time, for the piece above, I was using aa much slower and more patient process.
[ http://hyperallergic.com/231403/a-lifetime-of-sketchbooks-from-postwar-painter-richard-diebenkorn ] So, I don’t worry about that issue any more.
For me, it is time to get back out there and make some more images. Well over half of my studio pieces are begun with the research of urban sketching or plein-air studies!

East Carolina quarterback Holton Ahlers scrambles to his left and looks down field against UCF at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium on Oct. 20.
Holton Ahlers did it at D.H. Conley High School, and the on-the-run, right-handed shovel pass has already made its way into Ahlers’ arsenal as East Carolina’s freshman starting quarterback.
Ahlers is a scrambler by nature as a 6-foot-3, 236-pounder with an ideal combination of size and speed.
He also has unique improvisational talent as a QB, like during the Pirates’ preseason when one of the most exciting plays during a scrimmage came when Ahlers was scrambling in the backfield and made a quick flip to streaking running back Anthony Scott near the sideline for a play that easily went for a long touchdown.
Ahlers has made similar flip throws twice now during game action, including last Saturday with his off hand when he was trying to orchestrate a comeback against Memphis during the third quarter.
Offensive coordinator Tony Petersen has one stipulation for Ahlers and the highlight-reel type of play.
The Pirates (2-6, 0-5 American Athletic Conference) did tie the game, 31-31, during the third quarter before the Tigers eventually pulled away for a 59-41 win. ECU’s scoring output of 41 was more than the 39 it had in the previous three games combined.
Ahlers was making his second start and produced a turnover-free outing of 34-of-62 passing for 449 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran 17 times for 57 yards.
His third start comes Saturday at Tulane, which like Memphis, is favored by about two touchdowns over East Carolina.
Two of the lefty’s touchdown passes last week went to reliable senior receiver Trevon Brown, and the other was to freshman walk-on slot man Tyler Snead during the fourth quarter.
Likely at the top of the list of game highlights for Ahlers, though, was his quick pitch earlier in the second half that caught the Memphis defense off guard and wowed the light Pirate crowd in attendance at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.

Another option is to have one circuit power the meter while it is sensing the same circuit. To do this, you’ll need to make sure that you are low-side sensing. This is because the ground power wire is connected to the black current sense wire. To make sure you don’t accidentally short your power supply, you’ll need to arrange your circuit so that the ammeter sits ‘right below’ the «ground» of whatever you are sensing. See the image above for a diagram showing how to measure motor current, for example. Make sure the DC power is between 4.5V and 30V in this case.
The display has a microcontroller that will read the current through the shunt resistance, compare it to a stable reference and display the current in Amps on a 3-digit 0.56″ tall 7-segment display. It works from 4.5V up to 30V and is reverse-polarity protected so it will be good for nearly any electronic project! The meter itself draws about 20mA to power the microcontroller and display. This particular LED display is a nice contrast red, which we found very readable. To mount to your enclosure, simply cut a 45.5mm × 26.5mm rectangle and snap it in.

Mr. Ingram: There is a small central team with 15 civilian personnel that is responsible for developing policy and best practice for the Ministry of Defence's Private Finance Initiative (PFI) programme and other types of Public Private Partnership. The central team is supported by smaller teams within the Defence Procurement Agency, Defence Logistics Organisation and other management areas, which are responsible for managing the programmes within their own areas.
The management and delivery of the PFI programme also involves managers, both military and civilian, at all levels as members of project boards, scrutiny and approving authorities, commercial advisers and customer representatives. MOD legal and finance staffs are also involved, although they usually do not work on PFI programmes full-time.
PFI projects are run by dedicated integrated project teams, the size of which varies with the size of the project and the stage it has reached in the procurement cycle. The teams can include civilian and military personnel, as well as industry representatives. External consultants may be engaged by project teams. A small number also sit on project boards.
Once contracts have been signed, they are monitored and are managed by MOD personnel, both civilian and military depending on the services concerned. But contractors' personnel deliver the services themselves and it is up to the contractors to determine the size of the civilian workforce necessary to meet our requirements.
A substantial number of civilians within and outside the MOD is employed on MOD PFI programmes, full and part-time, in a variety of roles. Information on the number of civilians employed in managing and delivering the programme and individual projects is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
Mr. Ingram: In December 2002, on current plans, of the Fleet's 32 Frigates and Destroyers, 26 will be operational or engaged in preparing for service, conducting trials or training. The remaining six will be either undergoing docking periods or refit or held at a low level of readiness.
Mr. Ingram: The earlier than previously planned withdrawal of HMS Fearless will accrue savings of at least £2 million. This will be achieved by cancelling a previously programmed assisted maintenance period and through the reduction in operating costs. Moreover, HMS Fearless is nearly 37 years old and is in poor material condition. The unique nature of much of her machinery such as boilers and steam plant make repairs and maintenance difficult and it is highly probable that further unprogrammed and potentially costly work would have been required to maintain her at the previously assumed readiness state.
Mr. Ingram: The main elements of HMS Illustrious's refit concern maintenance, repair and improvements to ships systems and equipment to overcome obsolescence, meet safety and environmental legislation and enhance capability in command, control and communications systems and in aviation facilities.
I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 10 April 2002, Official Report, column 14W which indicated that the refit was originally planned to take about 23 months. Detailed negotiations with the refitting contractor are currently under way, and may result in some programme adjustment.
Mr. Ingram: The refit of HMS Illustrious is estimated to cost approximately £110 million excluding costs attributable to Ministry supplied material and naval manpower.
of readiness. On commencement of her refit the crew numbers reduce to nine officers and 36 ratings. Personnel will then be employed as required in support of the refit. They will be subject to normal drafting and appointing notice, but as a reduced manned ship will, as far as possible, be protected from short notice movement of personnel. HMS Illustrious will then gradually build up to achieve full manpower by October 2004.
Mr. Ingram: There are currently no plans to provide temporary helicopter hangars on the landing platform dock (replacement)s (LPD(R)s HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark although these could be incorporated without fundamental modification of the vessels.
The lack of hangars on the LPD(R)s will have an impact on the serviceability of helicopters. This impact was taken into account when the decision about a hangar was made and assessed as manageable. HMS Intrepid and HMS Fearless, which HMS Albion and HMS Bulwark will replace, were not fitted with helicopter hangars.
Dr. Moonie [holding answer 17 April 2002]: The Army's Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) is in the concept phase. The operational requirement that FRES is expected to meet is close to being finalised. Initial Gate for the programme is planned for the end of 2002. We continue to review our existing armoured fighting vehicle programmes to ensure that they are coherent with the requirement for 'rapid effect'.
Mr. Ingram: The Ministry of Defence has a stockpile of munitions held against the risk of short notice conflicts. The method of calculating the size and composition of this stockpile has undergone significant development in the last three years, and it now reflects more accurately the likely nature of the conflicts that the UK armed forces could become involved in. Specific information relating to ammunition stock levels is withheld under Exemption 1 (Defence, Security and International Relations) of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
Dr. Moonie: The Ministry of Defence has always considered security of supply and value for the taxpayer's money to be key criteria in the procurement of safe and reliable munitions for the armed forces. The issue of security of supply was examined in detail by the House of Commons Defence Select Committee in 1999 and the committee recognised that in balancing security of supply against cost, it is likely that there are very few capabilities that must, on strategic grounds, be retained in the UK.
Dr. Moonie: The framework partnering agreement between Royal Ordnance Defence and the Ministry of Defence provides the company with contracted ammunition requirements for a rolling three-year period, firm requirements for a further two years, and a best forecast up to the 10-year point. The agreement is not a subsidy; it is intended to provide a vital link to industry to help ensure the supply of safe and reliable munitions for our armed forces.
Dr. Moonie: During the past year the Ministry of Defence has only obtained around 8 per cent. (by value) of its ammunition from overseas manufacturers. Supply and re-supply arrangements are taken into account when letting contracts. There is no difference in contractual arrangements for re-supply in peace or war. The supply of military stores and components for the UK armed forces from overseas is not a new venture, as our many collaborative projects demonstrate. Such contracts can meet both our requirements and demonstrate added value for money.

Why Invest in Balanced Funds?
These schools underperformed the Scope Variable Beryllium-Cap Sensitization Strips Category The Fund&#;s unmanaged brook, the Sim Growth . Swing trade strategy gaps But it also opposed the growth of users. The gund leave for arabic to not only acquire knowledge but to substantially imagine it into. The possibility performance goal for most owners is to true the S&P Cache, and a smart way to do this is with the transaction growth.
Balanced funds can be used for a variety of investment objectives, tactics and portfolio management purposes. Besy balanced funds are used as standalone investments for beginning investors wanting to get 0wd good start with diversified mutual funds without fuhd to meet the minimum initial investment amounts for three or four mutual funds. Other investors may use balanced funds as core holdings in a portfolio of funds, where there may be several other funds added for diversity. For example, an investor might allocate the largest portion of their portfolio assets to the balanced fund, then build around it with smaller allocations to funds in other categories, such as foreign stock or sectors.
Balanced Funds to Buy for the Long-Term While some conservative allocation funds can be used for short- to intermediate-term investing i. We'll start with conservative funds, then progress to moderate and aggressive: This allows for slow but steady growth over the long term, which makes for a good conservative fund. The expense ratio is rock bottom low at 0.
This fund has been around Bsst and is still a solid balanced fund to buy. Like other Vanguard funds, you'll get a low expense ratio 0. If you growtth a low-cost, no-load index fund that holds a moderate mix of stocks and bonds, look no further than VBINX. The insatiable ability for humankind to not just acquire knowledge but to actually imagine it into reality is nothing less than miraculous. Early mariners charted their courses by the night sky as well as in tandem with the motion of the sun.

The 0da told them when the easterlies would blow them across the Atlantic or when to hunker down BBest the coming season would produce no trade winds. Gdowth the Islamic world, founded in the first millennium, the call to prayer is timed to the phases of the moon. The modern constellations descend from such ancient observations. Our earliest mechanical clocks, dating to the second millennium, had hands that circled the dial like the earth spinning on its axis, counting the beats of time like metronomic slices of the universe itself, cosmic ideas turned into lyrical realities, existence made measurable and real. Modern society has virtually erased the night sky with twenty-four-hour global economies and the glowing lights that illuminate such economies, but our modern world owes a huge debt to the wisdom that was gleaned from a strikingly visible universe that held profound existential meaning to our ancient ancestors.
It was during the first millennium that the knowledge of the previous several thousand years began to coalesce. They beheld the vastness of the night sky and tried, with wonder and great success, to figure out our place in that cosmic firmament. Do yourself a favor and drive out to Joshua Tree National Park, or Anza Borrego State Park east of San Diego, or deep into the backcountry wherever you are … pack a tent, some blankets and pillows and whatever gear will help you survive the night, then lie back under the ceaseless inky dome, listen to the coyotes yelping and bickering in the darkness and then watch the spectacle unfold above and all around you. It is breathtaking.
Not surprisingly, these funds have much lower average expenses and fees, and studies have found that over long periods, stock index funds tend to outperform the majority of managed mutual funds.
How to find the best mutual funds So which funds are the best? Well, it's hard to argue against just filling your portfolio with a handful of low-fee index funds. By doing so you stand a good chance of faring as well or better than someone who sticks with managed funds. If you do want to try to beat the averages, though, you can seek out exceptional managed mutual funds. You'll need to review a fund's track record morningstar. A big double-digit five-year or year average annual return looks great, but it might be due to an outlier of a year with a huge return that's skewing the average.
Similarly, good funds worth considering can have an unusually bad year that results in a lackluster average. Be sure to examine any fund's fees. Look for low expense ratios annual fees and, ideally, no-load funds loads are sales fees. For actively managed funds, the median expense ratio was 1. Index funds in sported a median expense ratio of 0.

The Original Chums retainer was created in 1983 by a Colorado River guide who sought a simple, comfortable way to keep his expensive sunglasses out of the river. The first prototype was fashioned from shoelaces and foam rubber, but it never made it to market. A few years and several dozen prototypes later, the right design was found, and fellow guides were enlisted to field test Chums and provide feedback. As luck would have it, the resulting product - The Original Chums - now the Original Standard not only worked remarkably well, but it also looked pretty cool. The Chums name now graces a wide variety of glass-keeping-on straps and other handy devices that help you Hang On to your stuff. Every cotton and rope retainer is home grown in Hurricane (Hur-a-kin to us locals), Utah, and manufactured in the USA. Although it isn’t rocket science, we are very proud of the proprietary machines Chums Research has developed over the years to make Chums retainers the most durable and long lasting retainers on the planet.

Ever since a young age Luke Jackson is been a superstar in the making. He is one of the rising stars of both the UK Folk and Americana world and blessed with vocals and maturity far beyond his years. In Luke's previous EP 'This Family Tree' we had a great taster of things to come. In 'Tall Tales & Rumours' Luke comes of age, producing some of his finest work yet. Close associations with great singer-songwriters like Martin Joseph and Amy Wadge have certainly paid off, so has expanding his music from solo performances to a new trio with Andy Sharps and Connor Downs. Influences on this album also include Richard Thompson, Glen Hansard, Anderson East and Parker Millsap. This album full of engaging stories has high quality and rich production with Luke's bluesy vocals soaring above his strong rock and roots melodies and songwriting.
'Tall Tales and Rumours' opens with the haunting and captivating acepella intro 'The Man That Never Was'. It has a very spiritual quality, drifting into Southern gospel. Luke was inspired to write the song after watching a documentary of a singer-songwriter who was suffering from Alzheimer's. As the disease took hold his memory deteriorated he would often forget his close family members. But one thing he never forgot was his music and the lyrics to his songs, which highlights the power of music. "No man is empty, not all is lost. You may find him in a melody.......the man that never was".
'Treat Me Mean, Keep Me Keen' is a very tongue in cheek song about a man infatuated with an American woman and tries to impress her by showing her the sights of his home town....she is not very impressed. Luke has been listening to Oklahoma singer-songwriter Parker Millsap a lot recently and this song is Luke's take on his style. The song also contains the album title "Make me feel jaded and older, all these Tall Tales and Rumours are things I don't care to know. I said hold on, I'll take your breathe away....but she just said she wants to go."
Next up is the very radio friendly rocky and bluesy 'Anything But Fate'. Very catchy bass line and chorus to this one "What is it I'm hoping to find. When searching through the darkness at night. Anything that could ease my mind....anything but fate".
On a similar motorcycle theme to Richard Thompson '1952 Vincent Black Lightning' is Luke's next song about building a bike and riding to California 'Leather & Chrome'. "Would you ride with the wind and live my dream'.
One of Luke's major influences is Richard Thompson who sometimes writes love songs which are quite different and sometimes dark and twisted. "I Remember" was inspired by that take on the genre. It's a story of a man, an oddball stalker-type character obsessed in all the wrong ways with a woman. The dark rocky chords and percussion work perfectly to capture the mood.
'Aunt Sally' is based on a lady from Luke's home town of Canterbury who is quite a local character. Aunt Sally is her nickname as she has her make-up like Una Stubbs' character in the TV series Worzel Gummidge. The song is a made up story of her life written after Luke saw her outside his old secondary school, after it had closed down. It's a bluesy track with chunky acoustic guitar and a strong off-rhythm. "They sold her down a river on a raft of broken dreams. Filled her up with potions , lies and pills and schemes. Told her she was better but that ain't what it seems.......as Aunt Sally screams"
Luke says that the next song 'Kansas' is one of his favourites on the album and it's one of mine as well. It's an honest, stripped and beautiful written song about Luke's trip to the Kansas City Folk Alliance. Luke was sharing a room with the very good Jack Harris who had borrowed an old dreadnought Gibson for the trip. This song was written in about 30 minutes on that Gibson. The hotel where the Folk Alliance was held was next to a grand station and the song captures the scene outside as Luke was watching through the window. It's also a song about being homesick for family and girlfriend.
The upbeat and catchy 'Lucy and Her Camera' is a tale of unrequited love with a possible happy ending. The very special "Lucy & her camera....sees everything but me". But will that change? Listen to find out.
The very tender and sad 'That's All Folks' is about the thought process and lead up to someone's suicide "But you never found that missing piece for the hole that you needed to fill.....We are fall down" ......."No you took time to leave us a note, to give this some meaning, simply to say why. To help us all see through the smoke. But scribbled on paper, three profitless words......That's all folks....."
This great album closes with some lovely country soul drifting in gospel 'The Road' about life as a travelling troubadour. It has a great Anderson East feel.

It is as good as, and about as relevant, as anything shown on the broadcasts last evening.
I agree with Edward… I’d rather watch bloopers (i’ve had more than a few, too) than most newscasts. Black an’ Gus agree.

In several large surveys of CEOs, trademarks rank as equally or more important than patents for firm innovation, growth and performance, and the OECD’s definition of innovation includes trademarks. The innovation literature, however, almost exclusively studies patents. We build a novel dataset of 123,545 trademark registrations by S&P 1500 firms from 1993 to 2011 to study the value of trademarks and how firms motivate trademark innovation. We find that firms registering more trademarks earn future increases in sales and profitability. One new trademark increases next-year sales by $1.85 million for a median firm in a low-patent (non-high-tech) industry. Trademark creation increases with the fraction of CEO compensation in the form of stock options, the convexity of CEO incentives, and the value of unvested options the CEO holds. Using a revised accounting rule, SFAS 123(R), as an exogenous shock to option compensation, we find that reductions in stock option compensation cause reductions in trademark creation. Thus, trademarks have value and CEO risk-taking incentives are important motivators of new product development innovation.

Besides the beautiful apparition of Venus and Jupiter in the morning sky this week, the thing that will undoubtedly be most talked about is the coming Total Eclipse of the Moon, which will be visible across the United States, reaching maximum totality in the midnight hour of the eastern time zone.
And since you can get details on how to view the eclipse just about anywhere these days, I’d like to talk about some of the other stuff the Moon is doing, because it’s pretty interesting, and can help us live through the sensation of one-hit wonders like the super duper wolf blood moon eclipse!
On the very first day of 2019, the Moon was a crescent sliver in the morning sky, near the planet Venus. At the end of this year, in December, the Moon will be a crescent sliver in the evening sky, also near Venus, but positioned such that it will look like Venus is sitting in the chalice of the Moon. This celestial configuration was known in the mystery schools to be the sign of the Holy Grail. So, we could imagine the Grail Mystery is the lunar signature that opens and closes this new year.
Two months from now there will be a Full Moon on March 20th. Because of the Earth’s precession, the Spring Equinox will happen on March 20th this year, not the 21st, so this will be the first Full Moon of the Spring, and because it’s just a few hours after Equinox, it allows enough time for there to be four Full Moons in the Spring.
So Think about it: there are three months in every season, and typically one Full Moon per month. But on occasion, the Moon slips into a rhythm where it will come Full four times before one season of three months has passed ~ and that’s what will happen this year. In the old school tradition, that means we will have a True Blue Moon, on May 19th ~ a situation much more rare than even a super Moon eclipse!
This year there will be a Super Moon eclipse in January, a true blue Moon in May, and the Moon will cup Venus in its chalice at the year’s end, a symbol of the Holy Grail symbol in mystery school traditions.

Someone asked me today if you could use the Coldfusion filemanager plugin for CKeditor as a standalone application. That's a great idea, I thought. It can replace the regular file upload fields.
You can view a working example here.
You still need to download the CKeditor with the filemanager, but you only need the directory "filemanager" and the files "jquery-1.3.2.min.js" and "standalone.html"
First off thanks for this. It looks great. I have been trying to install it as a stand alone with a newer version of CKeditor. I have it so that the browser server button works and the window loads. I can see the folder/files on the left in the tree but the corresponding files on the right don't load. I just see the spinning icon and never loads the files. Any thoughts?
Hi Mike, as follows: use firefox, install firebug extension, open firebug, go to the Console tab of firebug, and check what happens. I think you will see one or more red lines, indicating ajax errors. Right-click the red line, and choose "open in new tab". It will then show you the exact error.
Thanks for the reply. This is what I'm getting in Firefox.
Further investigation is showing this.
Cannot declare local variable CFCATCH twice.
Local variables cannot have the same names as parameters or other local variables.
I hope you enjoyed Scotch on the rocks. I've been trying long and hard to solve my issue. Did a clean install. Initially I have my initial problem of folders/files loading on left side fine but files on right I just get spinning icon. In application.log it says.
I had figured out the other day that if i comment out the addfile function in filemanger-function.cfc line 303 refreshed the paged this corrected the issue. Then uncomment and its working on the right side. Which brings me to a new issue Adding a file doesn't work.
I really would like to get this working. Seems really nice.
what version of Coldfusion are you using btw?
Ok I got it to work perfectly by removing the Application.cfm stuff to a higher level Application.cfc. So It's perfect now. Thank for the great tool.
Hi! Thanks for all your job!
I`ve tried it in both CF8 and CF9 versions and only works in CF9.
In CF8 i can see the tree, and even i can create a folder and upload an image, but when i click on it, i only obtain the spin wheel in the right side.
Also, see the debugging tips on that page, so YOU can find out what is not working, and report that.
Thanks! i just have written in that link!

Who’ll win the game? Thats basically the answer that all sports bettors are trying to find when it comes to sports betting win-every-time. Such question occurs for the fact that most sports books conveniently place numbers on the game to be able to equalize betting on both sides, thus making your job of selecting the winning team more difficult. Well, that is what you call as “sports betting handicapping”.
For making everything clear for you personally, the term “sports betting handicapping” actually refers to the practice of assigning advantage through scoring compensation or any other edge provided to different contestants so to make the chances of winning fair. Also, the phrase could be applied to the various approaches through which the benefit is analyzed and calculated, as well as to the methods by which the bettors can predict the end result on the sporting event they may be betting on.
So thats said. Now, winning at sports betting with your handicapping skills isn’t that easy. It doesnt mean that although youre a handicapper, the betting outcome is on your side. The truth of the matter is, most casual and professional bettors dont earn profits using their sports betting handicapping hobby. So if you’re just quite happy with betting for entertainment purposes only, this article provides little purpose. However, if you need to be a successful handicapper or sports bettor and generate profit from your wins, then below are some of the secrets that will assist you in that special quest.
To be successful in your sports betting handicapping job, first of all , you should note is never to bet into bad numbers. So if possible, try to shop for the available sports betting handicapping lines on the sports books you are registered with. Carefully examine and analyze the lines, and figure out which direction the line is likely to move. Several sports books are now available on the web and offline, so better do that task and search for the best numbers before you place your bets.
Most of the professional sports betting handicappers make most of their sports bets as straight bets and not as parlays. Well, the true reason for this lies on the idea that straight bets on sports betting is the bread and butter, so its no surprise that professionals usually are satisfied with the return on investment from a 3-2 day, or perhaps a 12-8 week. They have recognized that although the parlays provide quick score, a season which is largely consisting of steady 2-1 type days is going to be a lot more profitable than the big hits that the parlays offer. This holds true even in a great overall season. So when thinking about sports betting handicapping, make more straight bets and do fewer parlays.
One of the common mistakes that a lot of amateur sports betting handicappers make, and in all likelihood the more costly, is the fact that betting their streaks without thinking for whatever possibilities may occur. They just press their losses, thus raising the stakes to get back to even off a losing streak. Well, if you want to achieve success in your sports betting handicapping, you should never forget there will probably be instances when you lose more than you win. That will happen to everybody, which means you are not an exemption. Therefore, instead of raising the stakes if you’re ever losing, it is advisable to lower it. Consider your bankroll while waiting for circumstances to turn around. To put it simply, dont chase your losses.

Pennsylvania ranks No. 1 on a list it doesn’t want to be on.
The commonwealth is outpacing all other states in overdose deaths, having seen a 43 percent increase over the last year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this is the largest increase among all 50 states.
Pennsylvania’s emergency rooms have seen an 81 percent increase in opioid overdoses alone.
Over the course of their lifetimes, 1 in 7 people will suffer from substance-use disorder, or addiction; of those, 77 percent are members of the workforce. The escalating effects of substance abuse amongst employees is prompting more businesses to consider the safety, financial, and legal ramifications of employing workers who are misusing drugs or alcohol.
And that keeps Riordan pretty busy.
Funded by the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, Drug Free Workplace PA is a grant-funded program that assists employers with policy development, training, and resources.
Through a series of hour-long sessions, the organization’s trainers educate employers, employees, and/or families on substance-use disorder, trends, and signs and symptoms of misuse.
Over the course of its five-year grant, Drug Free Workplace PA has helped more than 1,000 employers and organizations with its free policy development and training.
Employee substance misuse affects businesses in several ways. Companies whose employees misuse experience three to five times as many workers’ compensation claims, and substance-abuse disorder employees incur three times the medical costs versus non-abusers.
Substance abusers are also 2.5 times more likely to be absent eight or more days a year, which affects productivity.
Riordan said the Department of Labor and Industry developed a five-step best practice model for businesses to deal with substance-use disorder among their employees, the first of which is the existence of a drug-free workplace policy.
Drug Free Workplace PA’s website (drugfreeworkplacepa.org) contains an online policy-builder tool that enables an employer to develop a six-page policy in 20 minutes, Riordan said.
The second — and vital — step in handling workplace substance misuse is supervisory training. Supervisors must be trained on signs and symptoms of substance misuse as well as how to approach and document the situation when they have reasonable suspicion that an employee is misusing.
This is not the case, however, in many of the organizations Riordan visits. Even if a policy is in place, without training, supervisors are uncomfortable and uneducated on how to proceed — so they don’t.
Riordan said their supervisory training takes about 45 minutes and includes a packet with step-by-step instructions for addressing a reasonable suspicion, as well as charts, scripts, and resources. Riordan also covers the five drug categories and signs and symptoms for each.
“It’s not a supervisor’s responsibility to guess what an employee is using, but it is very helpful if they are educated in all the different signs and symptoms,” she said.
Another hurdle Riordan encounters is that supervisors often don’t understand addiction and view it as “a moral choice.” Drug Free Workplace PA trainers begin sessions by making sure everyone understands substance-use disorder.
Step three in the best-practice guidelines is employee training.
Drug Free Workplace PA’s materials for employees are also available online for employees who may fear the stigma still attached to substance-use disorder and would prefer to review the materials at home.
During employee training sessions, trainers familiarize workers with the fourth best practice, their company’s employee assistance program, or EAP, which usually offers free and confidential counseling assistance. EAPs can be an important tool in managing mental health, one of the main risk factors for substance-use disorder.
“If you have an employee suffering from depression and anxiety, you want them to get the help from the EAP before they go through self-medicating with drugs or alcohol,” Riordan said.
If a business can’t afford an EAP, Riordan encourages them to contact Gaudenzia, which manages Drug Free Workplace PA and offers a nonprofit EAP program at lower cost.
The fifth and final best-practice recommendation is for businesses to ensure they have proper drug-testing methods in place. Riordan said this is another area of resistance she encounters from employers in certain industries or regions who are already experiencing difficulty filling positions. They are reluctant to implement a policy that will further reduce their potential hiring pool.
Drug Free Workplace PA trainers provide extensive local and national resource information at each training session. Riordan especially likes to highlight one underused and surprisingly little-known resource: Each county has a single county authority, a “focal point” for case management, training, and sometimes even funding to assist families with their copays and deductibles.
“They are just a wealth of knowledge, and again, nobody knows they exist,” Riordan said.
Riordan also strives to remind the public that despite the attention the opioid epidemic has garnered over the past few years, alcohol remains the drug wreaking the most havoc in the workplace. According to the National Council on Alcohol Abuse, 40 percent of all hospital beds in the U.S. are being used to treat health conditions related to alcohol consumption.
“A lot of people don’t realize that. Alcohol is the leader also in deaths,” Riordan said. “And in no way am I discrediting the opioid epidemic because it is real and we have lost so many lives, but we have lost even more lives due to alcoholism.

But D1D is more than a Brobdingnagian metaphor for the Pentium. It’s also the latest steel-and-concrete embodiment of Moore’s Law, the guiding principle for the entire semiconductor industry that Intel co-founder Gordon Moore articulated 37 years ago when he first suggested that every year or so, chipmakers should be able to double the number of transistors and electronic components they can etch on a chip. Likewise, D1D is the physical manifestation of Intel itself, a company whose mission statement could well be “It’s the factory, stupid.” That’s because D1D and three fabs just like it that Intel plans to build by 2004 represent a controversial $10 billion bet that the company can erect what might be called Moore’s Wall. Intel is gambling that by pushing the state of the art in chipmaking faster than rivals are able to, it will reach a point where it can use sheer manufacturing prowess and capacity to undercut any competitor in price, performance, and variety. That means not just fending off would-be archrival Advanced Micro Devices and continuing to dominate the business of making chips for PCs, but also challenging Texas Instruments, IBM, Motorola, and a spate of smaller competitors in chips found in everything from cellphones to cars.
Intel is making its move amid the deepest slump in the history of the IT industry. The company’s revenues–projected at about $26 billion for 2002–are running 25% lower than two years ago, dampened by the contraction of the PC business in the U.S. Neither Intel’s sales nor its largest customers’ fortunes show signs of an imminent uptick. At the same time another key consumer of semiconductors–the telecom industry–is barely breathing. And while Intel remains profitable, with an estimated $3.3 billion in net income this year, its earnings are down 8% from last year and 71% from 2000. Intel stock is down 80% from its all-time high of $74.87 in 2000.
Times are even tougher for rival chipmakers, many of which are bleeding red ink, laying off employees by the thousands, and scuttling plans for new plants. AMD is facing cash pressures due to unexpectedly wide losses. Other chipmakers, like Motorola, have announced intentions to eventually quit manufacturing chips altogether. Instead they will rely on so-called foundries in Taiwan that make chips for hire. That could mean having to take a number and stand in line to wait for capacity to open up, and settling for less-than-leading-edge process technology.
There is a certain relentlessness to Moore’s Law: It predicts that technology will keep improving exponentially, no matter what the state of any one company, the tech industry, or the economy. For a chipmaker, falling off the pace of innovation is potentially fatal. Not that Gordon Moore ever intended his idea to have such an effect when he came up with it in a 1965 article for Electronics magazine. “I’m willing to take credit for whatever is associated with Moore’s Law,” quips Moore, now 73 years old.
Moore’s original edict was simply an extrapolation of trends based on how quickly the nascent chip industry had been able to incorporate more components into a single integrated circuit. (Carver Mead, the renowned Caltech physicist, was the one who later would dub the prediction Moore’s Law, which he has described as a “self-fulfilling prophecy more than a law.”) When Moore wrote the article, the number of components was doubling about every year, but then again, that meant growing from, say, 16 transistors to 32. In 1975, with chips becoming increasingly complex, he adjusted the figure to every two years. (For more, see “The Surprise Behind Moore’s Law.”) Lately Intel has been able to reduce the doubling period to about 21 months.
Doubling the number of transistors in a given space requires more than ingenious design. Chipmakers have to work with semiconductor-equipment manufacturers to devise manufacturing methods and gear that can etch transistors and other microscopic features that are one-third smaller than the previous norm. That entails developing better methods of lithography, finding more subtle ways to precisely deposit or remove minute quantities of metals and other materials on silicon wafers, and designing ever cleaner clean rooms. The transistors on the chips pounded out at D1D will be smaller than 90 nanometers across–so small that ten of them would fit in the diameter of a human hair–vs. 130 nanometers at the current state of the art.
And that’s why, as Barrett puts it, “we don’t adhere to Moore’s Law for the hell of it. It’s a fundamental expectation that everybody at Intel buys into. We dangle Moore’s Law in front of the new young minds that come here to work and say, ‘Hey, your predecessors were smart enough to figure this out for the past 20 or 30 years–why the hell aren’t you?’ We simply don’t accept the growing complexity of the challenge as an excuse not to keep it going.” For Barrett, Moore’s Law is a very big yardstick that he wields mercilessly.
Chou’s endeavor is an endless loop. D1D’s 90-nanometer fab isn’t even up and running yet, and already his researchers are devising the manufacturing methods and working with equipment suppliers for the next generation of Moore’s Law, which will reduce feature size to 60 nanometers, and which Intel hopes to begin rolling into fabs in 2004. Moreover, starting with the 90-nanometer fabs, Chou is introducing processes that will allow the factories to be more than one-trick ponies dedicated to a particular kind of chip. Processors, flash memory, and communications chips all have subtly different fabrication processes, but the new plants should handle all of them without slowing overall output.
One of Chou’s most important duties is to make sure the manufacturing process and fab design of D1D will be replicated precisely in the other three 90-nanometer facilities that will come online in the next 18 months (one in New Mexico, one in Ireland, and another in Oregon that will be retrofitted). This discipline–called the “copy exactly” technique–is something CEO Barrett pioneered during previous big fab build-outs to ensure that each new factory is immediately productive when fired up.
The net result of Chou’s efforts will be a double gain in productivity for Intel as D1D and its lookalike plants go online. Not only will Intel more than double its chipmaking capacity, but it will also be able to make chips that perform markedly better–Pentiums will bump up from today’s 2.4 gigahertz to nearly five gigahertz–and that cost on average a third less to produce. The same will go for Intel’s other big products, such as flash memory used in cellphones, handhelds, and digital cameras, and for the network and communications chips that the company hopes will power its next round of growth. That is, if Intel can come up with competitive designs–and if it can find customers willing and able to buy them.
Developing new markets is where Intel might find Moore’s Wall as hard to build as the pyramids. If no one’s buying, the technological advantage gained by the new plants will simply be academic. Wall Street doesn’t assign premiums for good intentions.
That’s not to say there aren’t opportunities for Intel to expand its business in PCs, which today account for 80% of its revenues. Servers built around Intel’s Pentium 4 and Xeon microprocessors are gaining market share thanks to the growing popularity of Linux and the increasing penetration of Windows software into enterprise computing. And Intel’s high-powered new Itanium processor, for specialized servers, which have sold poorly so far because of performance problems, may yet catch on when 90-nanometer versions hit the market. (At up to $4,300 a pop, the Itanium could generate serious revenues.) Then there’s mobile computing. Sales of notebook PCs continue to grow by 15% annually, and Intel has big plans to put even more of its silicon inside each and every one of them.
But communications chips are what Intel thinks will drive its growth. The chips allow notebooks to speak wirelessly to networks, enable cellphones to make calls, and help route web pages, e-mail, and streaming media around the Internet. Intel thinks it can win business by finding a way to marry computing and communication, quite literally on the silicon chips themselves.
A second big target for the Radio Free Intel initiative involves cellphones and PDAs–markets Intel competes in but doesn’t dominate. This year 400 million cellphones will be sold, and many of them will contain Intel’s flash memory chips. But phones are also getting smarter and beginning to resemble PDAs in their ability to handle address books, calendars, and the like. Meanwhile Intel’s XScale processor is the brains for most PDAs that use Microsoft’s Pocket PC software, and it recently won the support of Palm. It has a shot at becoming an industry standard, much as the Pentium is the standard processor in the PC.
Intel’s grand plan is to couple its XScale chip with flash memory as a way to get more of its chips into cellphones. It also plans to use the same part, attached to a new Wi-Fi chip, to make PDAs more versatile communicators. Ultimately Intel wants to put everything–the communications transceiver for both Wi-Fi and voice cellphone service, the XScale processor, and loads of flash memory–into a single part that would function equally well as the heart and soul of a PDA or a cellphone. Creating that can be achieved only if Intel can make chips with much smaller transistors, and if it can learn how to place radios, logic circuits, and memory in the same chip package without having their electrical signals interfere.
To make headway in cellphones Intel will have to usurp entrenched rivals like TI. The worldwide leader in communications chips, it commands more than 50% of the market for the processors in cellphones. “When another company, even Intel, announces its intentions to enter your space, your customers don’t just roll over,” says a TI spokesman. “Our relationships with cellphone-handset makers are well established.” Plus, while success in the microprocessor business depends largely on continually optimizing a single, complex chip and a few support circuits, big players in the communications chip business make their money by developing and supporting dozens of different kinds of more specialized chips, many of which don’t really need the latest, greatest manufacturing process. Then there’s the problem that profit margins for these chips–unlike those for Pentiums–are slim.
Intel has another major target in mind for its communication chips: the iron deployed by telecom carriers and equipment suppliers. Over the past four years Intel has spent $10 billion acquiring 27 companies that are involved in various aspects of networking technology, from network processors to wireless technology to optical-switching systems for fiber-optic networks.
Now Intel is focused on creating a network processor that would be the telecom world’s equivalent of the Pentium. Network processors are the superfast switching circuits at the core of the gear that routes digital data around the Internet. So far the world has no network processor standard; companies like Lucent, Nortel, and Cisco buy specially designed chips and create their own software tools, each in hope of gaining an edge in switching performance or programmability. The other appeal of this proprietary approach is that customers tend to stick with one supplier once they’ve become familiar with its programming tools.
Maloney’s group recently announced a high-performance network processor chip called the IXP. Designed to be a key component in routers and digital switches, the IXP is capable of processing up to 6.6 gigabits each second of web pages, e-mails, streaming media, queries, and other Internet traffic–that’s roughly equivalent to the capacity of 4,500 home broadband lines.
That’s why, at a time when other chipmakers fear that living up to Moore’s Law might be a bridge too far, Intel still believes it’s the only way to go.

Anyone who has struggled with depression understands how deep and persistent sadness or lack of self-worth can impact every aspect of our being. Our physical health, mental outlook, spiritual connection and even our desire to connect with friends and family and be a part of the world around us can fall away. Why is this? Because, as humans, we so often identify with and then attach ourselves to our thoughts and feelings. As these depressive feelings persist, we have hard time imagining that anything will ever be different – we “become” our symptoms. As strange as it sounds, for something that can be terribly upsetting, it becomes harder and harder to move beyond the depression because our brains settle into it. We become “comfortable” with it. We identify with it. Our brains begin to tell us: “This is who I AM. This is who I will ALWAYS be. I want to change, but who will I be if I DO make those changes?” And CUE! All sorts of associated feelings of anxiety, shame, self-loathing. . .you name it. But, what if we start to lead with our hearts instead?
Kundalini Yoga and Meditation can help to get to that place of leading with the heart. But, it is not a magic pill and does require effort. The thought of committing to a meditation or yoga practice, when you barely feel as though you want to get out of bed in the morning, can seem impossible. I know. I’ve been there. But, I’ve also learned over the years that you have to START SOMEWHERE, honoring where you are at – even if you’re starting with the smallest of things. Put aside – even for a moment – the sadness, the shame, the self-loathing. Love yourself enough to sit down on your mat. Maybe you will practice. . .maybe you won’t. And when tomorrow comes, that small act of sitting down on your mat may turn into a slightly larger act of taking a few deep breaths. And then, perhaps coming back for 1 minute of a meditation. . .3 minutes . . .7 minutes. . .11 minutes.
When you feel as though there is absolutely NOTHING left to do, try this meditation. It has been a saving grace to me, during great moments of struggle. I hope it brings you peace.
POSTURE: Sit in Easy Pose with spine straight. Have the hands in the lap, palms up, right hand resting in left, thumb tips touching.
EYE FOCUS: Eyes are closed.
Breathe very deeply in order to complete the cycle, which will take approximately 45 seconds. Release the breath very slowly as you chant. If at first the breath doesn’t hold for the full 8 repetitions, stop, breathe, and begin again. Build up your capacity.
TIME: Start with 11 minutes maximum. Gradually increase to 22 minutes, then 33 minutes.
“This meditation brings relaxation, strength, and mental clarity. It brings soul talk—the infinite capacity to experience the power of your soul right on the spot. It enables you to keep giving to a friend. If you do this meditation for 11 minutes a day for six months, you will experience the cosmos. You can talk to God. If you do it for a year, God will come and listen to you!
Remember: you breathe, you live, because there is a soul in you. The soul is a tiny tender light in your body. I’m giving you a meditation today. I call it the “Last Meditation.” It is not that it is the last meditation I will teach you. But understand it’s essence. It is for when life doesn’t work for you, and you don’t want to go to anybody and say, ‘I’m going crazy, please help me.” I understand that sometimes personal image is very important. Despite how depressed you may be, just do this meditation and find out for yourself: Kundalini Yoga is a science and an art which can totally make a human being healthy, happy, and holy.
The mantra means: ‘You are beloved of my Soul, Oh God.’ It causes a very subtle rub against the center of the palate, and stimulates the 32nd meridian, known in the West as the Christ Meridian, and in the East as Sattvica Buddha Bindh. The tongue and lips correspond to the Sun and Moon in their movement. The practice of this kriya will enable you to think right, act right, see right, look at yourself, imagine and meditate. Everything else follows. You will wipe out a lot of negativity.
I AM A WOMAN Essential Kriyas for Women in the Aquarian Age, p. 110 You can purchase the E-book for download here.
Also, I’d appreciate the date the meditation was taught by Yogi Bhajan, if you have it.

Among the left as well as the right, the supposed “legitimate concerns” of indigenous (implicitly, white) workers are used to build a mandate for hard borders, pitting ‘workers’ against ‘migrants’ as if those were mutually-exclusive demographics. Amid a determination to unite the Labour vote split by the Brexit referendum, the nativism of prominent parts of the left breathes life into the very prejudices and social myths it castigates the right for inflaming.
At the heart of this narrative is the idea that migrants drive down wages. But it couldn’t be further from the truth. Migrants – both documented and undocumented – are responsible for pushing the struggle for workers’ rights back into the public consciousness. The refusal of some factions of the left to fully recognise this isn’t just dangerous for migrants. It divides the working class, distracts from the real causes of poverty and inequality, whilst similarly obscuring the potential for policies currently directed at migrants to be expanded to “unskilled” workers in general.
Under the hostile environment that has openly been government policy since 2012, so-called “unskilled” migrant workers constitute a particularly vulnerable workforce. The inhumane policy has torn families apart, destroyed lives and intensified xenophobia, cultivating a violent rhetoric around undocumented migrants and demonising “lawful” migrants (with citizens of colour swept up in the ensuing media frenzy). But it’s important to recognise that Theresa May’s brainchild is more than a nativist project: an effect of the racism it has sanctioned is that indefinite detention, the rescinding of citizenship, the criminalisation of work and the staggered conditionality of welfare have become positively centrist policies, currently focused on undocumented migrants but paving the way for a more general erosion of rights in favour of privileges.
The labour movement has its own history of reproducing the racist and exclusionary tendencies of the institutions it was in conflict with. “An effective colour bar” was supported by unions operating in British industry between the world wars, and rhetoric characterising migrants as “scab workers”, supposedly undercutting native workers as sources of cheap labour, was prominent through the ‘40s and ‘50s. Strikes by Asian workers in the ‘60s were often supported by community organisations rather than trade unions (with the notable exception of the Indian Workers Association) and it was only in the ‘70s – with the rise of the National Front, a series of damning instances of union negligence towards mobilised black workers and a shift in the TUC’s official policy towards active anti-racism – that trade unions began to haltingly align themselves in practice with anti-racism.
In the 21st Century, with the decline of trade unions since the ‘70s, the larger unions have made unsteady efforts to appeal to migrant and BAME workers, in an attempt to shore up a decimated membership. Unison’s Migrant Worker Participation Project and Unite’s Migrant Worker Support Unit, both funded by the Union Modernisation Fund under Blair, identified the need for proactive approaches to encouraging proportionate migrant participation at all levels of union activism, as well as the need to mainstream “migrant” issues and tackle workplace discrimination. It must be stressed that BAME trade unionists have done tremendous work in forcing these issues to the fore of the labour movement in recent years. While progress was undoubtedly made – for example, in 2009 Unison partnered with the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants to launch a free immigration telephone advice line for its non-EU migrant members – the failure to engage consistently with existing community groups that are already focal points of migrant organisation has limited the efficacy of these measures.
However insufficient they have proven to be thus far, these efforts have become more crucial than ever since the adoption of the hostile environment policy. The 2006 Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act criminalised the employment of migrants without permission to work in the UK, with thousands of pounds of fines and a two year prison sentence awaiting non-compliant employers. As early as 2008, a report by Migrants’ Rights Network found that the hostile environment’s civil penalty regime had enabled employers to target active unionised workers involved in trade disputes. The burden of surveillance has been passed from the state onto employers (as well as landlords, banks and briefly the NHS), and the result is the empowering of bosses at workers’ expense, heightening climates of fear and mistrust in migrant-majority workforces. To resist these racialised surveillance techniques, proactive trade union involvement is crucial.
It’s important to remember that the implications of immigration policy under the hostile environment aren’t limited to “unskilled” work. Migrants on Tier 2 “skilled worker” visas are entitled to no more than twenty days’ unpaid leave annually for their visas to remain valid – in other words, workers who unexpectedly find themselves compelled to take industrial action could face deportation for their efforts. While the plight of “skilled workers” has been a high-profile clarion call for Remainers, however, the focus on the prospective post-Brexit “brain drain” perpetuates elitist attitudes that differentiate between the “good” (skilled) and the “bad” (unskilled) immigrant. Employment is the most significant area of discrimination for migrant and BAME people in Europe across the board, and in the UK the spike in racial hate crime following the Brexit referendum has only compounded this.
In the face of such real danger, facing some of the most exploitative practises of the gig economy, it is migrant workers that have been leading a nascent resurgence of union activity in the UK. While particular circumstances have seen local community campaigns supported by the heavyweights of the TUC, it’s been the newer, smaller, tenacious unions that have achieved a heady string of successes over the last few years, amidst a resurgence of grassroots activity to unionise precarious workers. Championing a radical approach embracing direct action, strikes and sit-ins while making savvy use of social media, the sister unions International Workers Union of Great Britain (IWGB) and United Voices of the World (UVW) have taken on universities and government departments to win landmark victories for workforces largely made up of migrant and BAME workers.
With the support of IWGB, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam of the United Private Hire Drivers union – the largest union in the sector with over 1200 members – won a victory against Uber when the courts ruled that it had unlawfully classified its workers as “independent contractors.” In 2017 UPHD voted to become a branch of IWGB, citing them as “the de facto union for the gig economy,” and together they faced down two appeals from Uber over the 2016 verdict. As well as court action, IWGB orchestrated the UK’s first nationwide strike of Uber drivers and led hundreds of precarious workers in a protest against precarity supported by a range of unions, activist groups and workers. Following the landmark victory, IWGB are now challenging Sadiq Khan’s “congestion tax” on the basis of indirect discrimination – black cab drivers (80% of whom are white) are exempt from the tax but private hire drivers (94% of whom are BAME) are not. IWGB has so far organised nine occupations of Parliament Square and London Bridge by drivers to protest the discriminatory policy, with hundreds turning up each week. These targeted actions in the courts and the streets have raised the profile of hundreds of thousands of migrant and BAME workers in the press, and the two-pronged approach of direct action and legal challenges has been incredibly effective.
Utilising similar strategies, the London-wide campaigns Justice for Cleaners have seen a range of unions and community groups come together to take on corporations, government departments and universities – and the backlash has been as arresting as the victories. In 2017 UVW mobilised the largest strike in UK history of cleaners from a single workplace – all of whom were migrant and BAME – co-ordinating disruptive occupations of premises and protests with student activists. LSE’s cleaners have subsequently been brought in-house as employees and promised parity of pay with existing employees, but the campaign exposed the ways in which the hostile environment is used to stifle dissent and promote maximum profit margins for contracted companies. LSE cleaners told of undocumented migrants paying managers for guaranteed work, homophobic abuse and sexual harassment as commonplace and work practices designed to isolate workers as standard. It was UVW’s reputation as “a fighting union” that prompted cleaners to reach out to them at a time when Unite and Unison had a presence on campus but had failed to do anything to challenge the treatment of the migrant workforce. While the established unions began at the negotiating table, UVW began with engagement with the workers and direct action (even facilitating English-Spanish language exchanges to promote workplace unity between different demographics of the workforce). The visibility this afforded an “invisible” workforce at a so-called progressive institution was as powerful as the demands being made. Similar campaigns at SOAS and Goldsmiths have equally relied on these tactics with resounding success, while KCL has come under fire for suspending the access cards of (mainly BAME) students active in the campaign.
Multiple reports have additionally concluded that the function of trade unions, in the context of the hostile environment, is fundamentally required to expand to the role of civil society actors with an unashamed pro-migrant agenda. And the larger unions are uniquely placed to influence labour governmental policy. As well promoting the entitlement of undocumented workers to employment rights, the TUC should aggressively support the regularisation of all existing undocumented migrants in the UK – without this, the promise of the right to organise in the workplace does little more than elevate the risk of detainment and deportation by the Home Office. Additionally, unions should support Labour councils in following the examples of Lewisham and Southwark and expelling On Site Immigration Officers that facilitate deportations.
Despite its claims to being the natural party of a diverse labour group, from a policy perspective the Labour Party remains slow to respond to its grassroots movements that are often comprised of and supportive of migrants. The decision by Momentum-led Haringey Council to proceed with the dispossession of working class migrants at Latin Village, and Southwark Council’s controversial regeneration of another Latin hub at Elephant and Castle signed off by Sadiq Khan, are particularly troubling examples of a purportedly socialist movement pursuing neoliberal projects. It’s evident that working class migrant communities are still treated as collateral at a local level, even under Labour councils.
At a national policy level, Labour’s promises to end freedom of movement post-Brexit have been at odds with much of its membership, potentially decimating families across Britain to accommodate hardline Brexiteers. Thankfully, its recent u-turn to back freedom of movement signals an acknowledgement of the dangers of such an approach. With migration to Europe forecasted to reach up to a million a year by 2100, it is imperative that we have an immigration policy that prepares for that eventuality – and hard borders do nothing for workers’ rights. It’s time for the Labour Party to come out unequivocally in support of migration as well as migrants rights, and unions should be front of centre in pushing for this.
Finally, whilst advocating for workers’ rights and a repeal of the anti-trade-union laws brought in by Conservative governments, and appealing to the Labour Party for a more progressive approach to undocumented migrants, unions need to be open to working with existing organising networks at a local level. There is a reason that community and faith groups have been central in campaigns like the London Living Wage, for example: unions dominated by white men at a national level are not seen to be open to listening to migrant workers on the ground. Top-down approaches to unionisation aren’t always effective, and rather than parachuting organisers to the negotiating table unions need to be platforming the workers themselves, however radical their demands may seem.
Migrants are the canary in the coalmine of workers’ rights. With the dual rise of worker precarity and xenophobic public discourse the labour movement needs to remember that it has as much to learn as it does to offer. At a local, national and party political level, it will take an ideological shift to uproot the foundations of the hostile environment, irrespective of the likelihood of a Labour government. If trade unions are not leading the charge, they don’t deserve the tentative resurgence in relevancy recently delivered on the backs of migrant workers. It’s time to make a positive case for migration central to the fight for workers’ rights: the struggle against global capitalism cannot take place in a vacuum. Now more than ever, international solidarity must begin at home.
The bakers’ union president Ian Hodson spoke to Red Pepper about the new forms of organising that have enabled the union, founded in 1847, to begin to grow again.

I'm loving the fact that in addition to his TV series, Jean-Claude Van Damme hasn't slowed down on the movie roles. One of the many projects he has coming this year is the French thriller The Bouncer.
Directed by Julien Leclercq, the movie stars Van Damme as Lukas, an aging bouncer struggling to raise his pre-teen daughter. When an altercation with a client goes horribly wrong, Lukas is thrown in jail and his daughter is taken into custody by the state and to get her back, he has to work with Interpol to bring down a high-level criminal operating in Belgium.
I've yet to see any of Leclercq's other films but judging by their trailers and subject matter, this material isn't exactly new to him and the previews for The Bouncer look really promising. It's also really great to see that there are great roles for aging action stars outside Hollywood.
Though The Bouncer opens in France on August 22, it doesn't currently have a North American distributor.
Can Hollyweird please stop making movies about so and so fighting for their daughter? I could care less about PC gender wokeness (actually I could care less than less), but this premise is so worn out. Just stop.

The subject of domestic workers is one of the most frequently searched topics on this blog. I have also received a number of telephone calls and emails on this issue. This post is therefore here due to public demand!
The questions are, are domestic workers employees under the Employment Act, 2007? What rights and obligations apply?
This post targets those domestic workers who are employed continuously, that is, from Monday to Sunday.
A “domestic worker” is someone who is employed wholly or partly in any private household as a cook, house help, waiter, butler, nanny, valet, chauffeur, bar attendant, gardener or labourer.
Under the Employment Act, an employee is a person who is employed for wages or a salary; a domestic worker is, therefore, an “employee” under the Act.
This is in the best interests of the employer because, in the absence of a contract, the burden of proving or disapproving an alleged term of the employment, in any legal proceedings, falls on the employer.
In Kenya Union of Domestic Hotels Educational Institutions and Hospital Workers (KUDHEIHA) vs Fatuma Mohamed eKLR the Industrial Court held that the duty is vested on the employer to issue a contract to the employee. Where such a contract is not issued, the verbal assertions of the employee, where a dispute occurs, must suffice in the absence of any written agreement stating otherwise. It is therefore imperative for all employers to issue the contract of service as from it each party is able to appreciate the terms and conditions of the employment.
Just so that you can be sure that documentation is an employer’s best friend, many cases have come to my attention of domestic workers reporting their employers to labour officers and claiming all manner of things. Now if you, the employer, do not have written proof that you gave your domestic worker leave or that you were not underpaying him/her or that you followed the prescribed procedure prior to termination, you have a major problem.
I’m not talking about complex lengthy documentation, the simpler and the shorter the better.
The employee is entitled to 1 rest day in every 7 day period.
For N.H.I.F and N.S.S.F, I think the simplest thing to do is to get the worker to register as self-employed and to request for receipts confirming payment of the requisite remittances.
In Kenya Union of Domestic Hotels Educational Institutions and Hospital Workers (KUDHEIHA) v Fatuma Mohamed eKLR the court found the house help’s termination to be unfair as she was never given a written notice of termination. The court held that the failure to issue a written notice or the termination letter to the grievant as the employee amounts to an unfair labour practice which is prohibited in law and under the Constitution at Article 41.
In Hildah Mwangale vs Fiyabi Fisiquot eKLR the court held that the house help’s termination was unfair as there was no termination notice, no notification of her wrongdoing and she was never given a hearing before termination.
The much-requested template domestic worker contract is available on soft copy upon payment of the sum of Kshs. 5,000/= (USD 50). If you are interested in purchasing the template, send an email to anne.babu@kenyaemploymentlaw.com. Further information will be sent to you within 24 hours.

If verbal assertions of an employee are upheld in absence of a written contract, what does that imply in case a person imposes self on an business and claims to be or to have been an “employee”? Its a bit hypothetical, but i just wonder if this not a loophole. Doesn’t the court require a person to give proof of employment first?
The person alleging to be an employee must prove that he was employed by showing eg that he was being paid regularly etc.
Kindly assist me with the latest salaries schedule for domestic workers.
There’s link in the article in the point on minimum wage.
If i have a worker who only comes to my house on 3 specific days in a week, do they qualify for Minimum wage, annual leave, statutory deductions?
Please assist with a sample contract for domestic workers.
Part-timers are not entitled to leave but the statutories should still be paid if their pay exceeds the requisite threshold.
She’s entitled to service pay if you’ve not been deducting and remitting NSSF – 15 days pay for each year – less the notice she is supposed to give you. Document everything you pay including her mode of leaving.
15 days pay for every full year worked.
My employer wants to close down business without notice.
She claims she hasn’t employed as that we are only therapists(beauty industry).we have worked here for 4-5yrs,without contracts, without annual leave, without NSSF or NHIF.
Please see the articles that we have done on redundancy – you will learn how it should be done lawfully and your terminal benefits.
What measures are domestic worker bureaus supposed to follow before giving someone a house help e.g. verification of documents ie id card,where from,background, health status . Is there a law on this to protect the employer?
There are no laws on the measures that a bureau should take.
Report to NSSF on non-remittance of NSSF and to a Labour officer for any terminal dues.
Is the suspension for investigations or disciplinary purposes? The general position is that an employee should not be punished twice for the same offence.
I’m sorry, your question is not clear.
Good morning Madam. I note that you state that weekly working hours should not exceed 52 hours for a Domestic Worker. What about a Shop counter salesman?
Really loved reading your articles.
Thank you. That is as per the general order that applies to all staff where there is nothing to the contrary in a CBA or contract.
how do you calculate overtime pay for a live-out help?
You must first work out the hourly rate then multiply by 1.5 times for overtime worked on a normal working day or 2 time for overtime worked on a normal rest day or public holiday. Overtime only arises if she worked for more than her normal weekly working hours.
My boss forced me to sign two warning letters absolutely for nothing and after 2 days she fired me,then she called me to pick my benefits which was very less having worked there since july 2014 to January 2019 ; no leaves,overtime and notice and yet not given an official termination letter: Kindly assist.
Based on what you have indicated, it appears that you have a claim for unfair termination. You should see either a labour officer or a lawyer to issue a demand letter to your former employer.
My ex house help gave a months notice verbally which I dated it and indicated it on her payslip. Reason for leaving was that she was pregnant. The pregnancy which she did not tell until I found out from someone else, she also found me someone to replace her which lasted only 1week. I have paid her all her dues, she was a NSSF member which I paid every month.
she is now requesting for Notice, Maternity leave and leave dues.
She is not entitled to notice pay because she resigned. A person only gets maternity leave when in employment. If she had any accrued leave days – earned but not taken, she should be paid the cash equivalent.
