When coming back from Madrid to New York to catch a Delta flight to Kansas City, my final destination, Delta cancelled my flight and rebooked me for the next day.
I tried to call Delta since I had to stay overnight, but the wait was more than 3 hours. Since it was late, I decided to book a hotel by myself and file a complaint with Delta later to receive a refund for the hotel.
I did file the complaint (KMM72120902V35368L0KM) but never received a response. It's been 3 weeks since then.
I am a Delta frequent flier.

Microsoft announced another win today in sorting out the patent and litigation mess that is Android. The announcement stated that it has signed an agreement with Compal Electronics, Inc. to cover Compal’s tablets, mobile phones, e-readers, and other devices that use Android or Chrome platforms. This will net Microsoft continual royalties from Compal’s products.
“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Compal, one of the leaders in the original design manufacturing, or ODM, industry. Together with the license agreements signed in the past few months with Wistron and Quanta Computer, today’s agreement with Compal means more than half of the world’s ODM industry for Android and Chrome devices is now under license to Microsoft’s patent portfolio,” said Horacio Gutierrez, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel, Intellectual Property Group at Microsoft. “We are proud of the continued success of our licensing program in resolving IP issues surrounding Android and Chrome.”.
The Microsoft on the Issues blog further elaborated on the context surrounding licensing patents for Android. The agreement with Compal is the tenth agreement Microsoft has reached for Android phones and tablets and 9th in the past 4 months. They provided a chart to show their relationships to other companies as either licensed (green) or in litigation (red).
Microsoft defends itself in the blog posting by stating how much it has paid in royalties to other patent holders for its own product line.
At Microsoft we’re building on our extensive experience with patent licensing. Over the past decade we’ve spent roughly $4.5 billion to license in patents from other companies. These have given us the opportunity to build on the innovations of others in a responsible manner that respects their IP rights.
Microsoft has 1,133 standing agreements over the past decade to lice their patents to other companies. Microsoft now has license agreements with Original Design Manufacturers that hold 55% of the world-wide ODM Market Share, including Compal, and agreements with the OEMs that hold 53% of the U.S. Android smartphone market share.
For those who continue to protest that the smartphone patent thicket is too difficult to navigate, it’s past time to wake up. As Microsoft has entered new markets from the enterprise to the Xbox, we’ve put together comprehensive licensing programs that address not only our own needs but the needs of our customers and partners as well. As our recent agreements clearly show, Android handset manufacturers are now doing the same thing. Ultimately, that’s a good path for everyone.
Is the smart home secure?

Discussion in 'Windows 10' started by Simple07, Nov 14, 2015.
Every time I performed a Clean Fresh installation, then running SFC /SCANNOW, I would get no integrity violations found. Alas, when I perform a Windows 10 Build Upgrade (through Windows Update) then run SFC /SCANNOW, I surprisingly get corrupt files found, some are fixed and some it could not fix..
Mounted the latest ISO image that includes install.wim (not "install.esd", I tried it and it did not work) to X: drive (replace X with your appropriate drive letter).
The "esd" based statement below does actually work, I must have made a mistake somewhere.
However, while only experience and experimentation may lead you to find the reason behind some failures, I thought other members may find it helpful in fixing their issues quickly.

Baccarat is an old card game (several centuries old) that is played at nearly every land-based and online casino site. It is deceptively simple. If you are new to the game and have not yet learned the rules, you might initially be confused by the table action. Baccarat hand rankings and payouts may seem counter-intuitive and not follow any logical pattern. In truth, Baccarat is easy to learn. Once you know how to calculate hand values (doing so is not difficult), you’ll quickly gain a level of comfort.
We recommend playing baccarat online at the following reputable casinos.
Baccarat Odds and payout information.
If you are accustomed to playing blackjack, poker, or other traditional card games, the rules of Baccarat will seem strange. You are given three options for betting in Baccarat.
If you bet on the player or banker and win, your wager is paid out even money (i.e. 1:1). Ties are paid out 9:1. Betting on the player or banker is basically a vote of confidence in which will receive a higher ranking hand.
Once you choose the amount of your bet and place your wager, the player and banker each receive two cards. The cards are dealt face up. The value of each hand is calculated by adding the two cards and focusing solely upon the ending number. For example, if the banker’s hand consists of a 6 and an 8, the sum is 14 and the ending number is 4.
A third card may be dealt depending upon the player’s or banker’s ending number. If either the player or banker has an 8 or 9, it is called a “natural” and neither receives a third card. If the player’s hand adds up to 5 or less, a third card is dealt (to the player). If the player’s hand adds up to 6 or 7, a third card is not dealt.
Whether or not the banker receives a third card depends upon the player’s hand – with two exceptions. First, if the banker’s hand adds up to 2 or less, a third card is always dealt (to the banker). Second, if the banker’s hand adds up to 7 or higher, a third card is never dealt.
If the banker has a 3 (that is, the ending number of the sum of the cards is 3), a third card is dealt if the player’s third card is anything other than 8.
If the banker has a 4, a third card is dealt if the player’s third card is anything other than zero, 1, 8, or 9.
If the banker has a 5, a third card is dealt if the player’s third card is 4 through 7.
If the banker has a 6, a third card is dealt if the player’s third card is 6 or 7.
This may seem like a lot of information to remember, but it’s easy to commit to memory once you play a few hands.
Baccarat is commonly identified as the high rollers’ casino game, often mentioned in fictional novels and films. The high roller connotation is fairly easy to obtain, as learning the basics for playing baccarat will help a player succeed in achieving this status.
What are The Values Of the Hands in Baccarat?
Determining each hand’s value stumps a lot of novices, but is actually simpler than it seems. First, let’s establish four important ground rules.
1. Tens and face cards are valued at 0 (zero).
2. Twos through nines are valued according to their face value.
3. Aces are valued at 1.
4. Suits are irrelevant, and can thus be ignored.
To calculate the value of a hand, add each card’s individual value, and eliminate the number in the ten’s position. For example, suppose the Player is dealt 6 + 9. Add them to reach 15, then drop the ten’s position to reach 5.
Another example: suppose the Banker is dealt a 6 + 8 + 9. Add them to reach 23, then drop the ten’s position to reach 3.
Dealer’s hand total is two or lower.
Dealer’s hand total is worth three and the player’s third card is an eight.
Dealer’s hand total is five and the player’s third card is a four through seven.
Dealer’s hand total is a six and the player’s third card is a six or seven.
Luckily, online baccarat games are almost entirely automated. The player does not have to worry about asking for a third card because the gaming software will automatically deal a third card to the player or dealer if it is necessary. You can also find a list of Real Money Baccarat Games by clicking here.
The basics for playing baccarat online are even more simplified after the player and dealer have the correct number of cards in hand. The player and dealer’s hands are compared to determine which hand is valued closer to nine. The winner is determined by using baccarat’s unique value structure where cards 2 through 9 retain their standard value, 10 and face cards hold no value and aces are valued at one unit.
Baccarat is one of the oldest casino games offered throughout the world. It looks difficult to play, but is actually simple if you know how to calculate hand values. A lot of players have implemented various strategies they claim help them make money at the tables. Do they work? Are they reliable?
On this page, you’ll discover why there is no foolproof Baccarat strategy. If you have played the game, you’ll find this section to be intuitive. We’ll quickly explain a few common approaches Baccarat fans use when playing the game so you’ll be able to see the flaws. We’ll also give you a few Baccarat tips that will help you improve your results. Since the house always has an edge, you can expect to lose money over time. Our tips, however, will help you last as long as possible, maybe carve out a healthy profit in the short run and get you ready to play Real Money Baccarat Games Online.
Is There A Reliable Baccarat Strategy?
There are only three bets to make in Baccarat.
You’re left with two choices: Banker or Player. Given that there are no opportunities to raise, the game of baccarat essentially comes down to the flip of a coin.
This is an oversimplification, but still useful to explain why Baccarat strategy is a bit of misnomer. Imagine betting on a coin flip, except the house has a small edge. You’ll lose over the long run, but it’s possible to hit a profitable streak in the short run.
Even though the rules of Baccarat are detailed, strategy is very simple. It is akin to playing casino war; you’re basically betting on one side or the other. When playing with a six-card deck (Baccarat is often played with eight decks), the house edge for betting on the banker is only 1.056%. The house edge for betting on the player is slightly higher at 1.237%. Betting on a tie catapults the edge to 14.438%. In short, it’s a bad bet.
A lot of people try to count cards in Baccarat. Even though doing so can pay off in blackjack games, it’s a waste of time here. You might be able to scratch out an advantage by counting, but it would be so small as to make playing the game useless. Plus, keeping track of the dealt cards requires a lot of focus and effort. Check out our list of common Gambling Systems used by casino game players.
Other players like to bet in streaks. As long as they’re winning, they bet progressively higher amounts. Once they lose, their bet declines back to a defined starting point. This approach is better than counting cards, but still a poor Baccarat strategy. Why? Because statistically, any streak is an aberration. It’s unreliable just like you can’t rely on the tenth flip of a coin to come up “heads” simply because the previous nine flips did so.
So, what does work when playing Baccarat? Even though the game is one of chance, there are a few things you can do to avoid making costly mistakes.
Never bet on a Tie. Doing so may seem appealing because it pays out at 8:1 (and occasionally, 9:1). The problem is, the odds and payout for a Tie bet give the house an astronomical edge. Don’t do it.
Always bet on the Banker. It might seem as if the Banker and Player bets have the same odds, and give the house the same edge. In reality, they do not. The Banker bet gives the house a slightly smaller edge. Unless you’re feeling charitable, bet on the Banker.
Assuming you’re betting on the Banker, increase your bet toward the end of the shoe. Here’s the logic: at the beginning of an 8-shoe deck, the difference between the house edge on the Banker and Player is smaller than at the beginning of a single-shoe deck (we’ll spare you the math). In other words, as the shoe dwindles from 8 decks to a single deck, the odds behind the Banker bet become more attractive.
As a side note, this tip is less relevant if you’re playing online since you won’t be able to observe the shoe.
Given the above, you should always bet on the banker.
Although baccarat is associated with sophisticated high rollers, it is actually very easy to Today’s baccarat betting casinos have simplified the game play so the player can focus entirely on making their bets and watching the game as a winner is determined.
Online baccarat betting is done entirely through casino gaming software. The software used by online casinos recreates all of the traditional baccarat features and replaces the live dealer with programmed functions that allow for a quicker and more straightforward game play experience. The player’s biggest responsibility is deciding on whether the player’s hand or the dealer’s hand will be closest to nine. The cards are dealt automatically and the program quickly determines the winner at the end of each round, so the player can get on with the next round of baccarat.
Is there A Winning Baccarat Gambling System?
A variety of different gambling systems can be utilized in baccarat because the game features a simple betting structure. For instance, players can use the Martingale system where the bet amount is doubled after every loss or remains the same after a win. Slightly more complicated systems like the Labouchere betting scheme can also be used. The Labouchere system requires players to write out a sequence of numbers, take the sum of the left and right most numbers of the sequence and use it as the wager amount. Both of the numbers are eliminated if the bet wins or the sum is added to the end of the sequence if the bet loses as the player attempts to eliminate all of the numbers in the sequence through wins. For more tips and suggestions read our Baccarat Odds articles.

Of the most popular casino games, few trim the house edge as low as Baccarat. For comparison, the edge in Caribbean Stud Poker is over 5 percent; the Pair Plus bet in Three Card Poker climbs over 7 percent; and most of the hard bets in craps scale above 10 percent. Baccarat odds are much better. Depending on the type of bet you place, you can get the edge down to a slim 1.012 percent.
To be fair, some casino games get close. Betting on 6 or 8 on craps (place bets, not hard bets) brings the edge near 1.5 percent. Pai Gow Poker shaves it under 1.5 percent (but, just barely). Blackjack, if played with liberal rules (typically, in Vegas casinos that are located off the Strip), offers a razor-thin edge near 0.30 percent.
Below, we’ll take a closer look at Baccarat odds. We’ll focus primarily on the Banker bet (since it has the lowest house edge), though we’ll mention the Player and Tie bets along the way.
The house edge in Baccarat rises and falls depending on the number of decks used in the shoe, the percentage of the Banker commission, and the pay table. We’ll cover each of these factors below, starting with the decks per shoe.
The Banker commission is almost always 5 percent of the Baccarat payout, assuming the bet wins. For example, a $10 bet on the Banker would yield a $10 payout less a $0.50 commission (i.e. a total payout of $9.50). There are some casinos, however, that lower the commission percentage. Though it’s rare, you’ll occasionally see this in a few off-the-Strip Vegas casinos.
Note that with a 3 percent commission, the house edge nearly evaporates.
If you enjoy betting on the Tie, make sure you play at casinos that offer 9:1.
Is It Possible To Make Money With Baccarat?
Yes and no. Over short periods, you can squeeze a profit from the cards. Your chances of doing so are better if you bet on the Banker, and ignore the Player and Tie bets. Over the long run, however, Baccarat odds and the house edge will prevail. You can expect to eventually lose money. Your best chance to prevent this from happening is to come up with a playing strategy that proves to be winner. Check out our Baccarat Strategy page to find one that works for you.
This is the case with all casino games, of course. From craps and Pai Gow Poker to Roulette, Three Card Poker, and blackjack, the house will win over time. But, again, if you bet on the Banker consistently, you’ll likely last longer.
Most online casinos do not offer bonuses for playing baccarat because the house edge is so low.
Baccarat casino online sign up bonuses allow to earn bonus cash every time a player makes a real money baccarat wager. The accumulated bonus cash can then be used to fund future online baccarat sessions, play other casino games or be withdrawn.
Baccarat bonuses award extra cash based on a percentage of the player’s initial deposit. Sign up bonus offers range from 10% to over 100% on initial deposits worth hundreds of dollars. After successfully registering for a real money account and completing a deposit, players are given 30 to 60 days to release all of the bonus cash by playing online casino games like baccarat. The sign up bonus and initial deposit amount must be wagered 10 to 20 times, depending on the casino’s exact requirements, before a withdrawal can be made. Certain baccarat betting game bonuses contribute 100% of each baccarat wager to the clearance requirements while other casino sites only allow baccarat wagers to contribute 30% to %35. Carefully review the terms and conditions of each sign up bonus to make sure it is baccarat-friendly. Click here and discover how and where to Play Baccarat Online.
Since the best baccarat bonuses are usually only valid for 30 to 60 days, it’s important to extract the most bonus cash by utilizing a few winning baccarat tips. Never wager on a tie round because this option features a 5% to 6% house advantage. Betting on a player or dealer win has a house advantage of less than 1.5%. Experiment with different gambling systems and betting patterns such as the Martingale system and Labouchere gambling system or make bets based on past win streaks. Keep in mind that online baccarat uses a random numbers generator, so a particular betting pattern does not guarantee wins or profit.
Pronounced “bah-kuh-RAH,” Baccarat has traditionally been thought of as a game for high rollers. One of the reasons is because the tables are often set out of the way in land-based casinos. The game is played in a semi-secluded area, which increases its mystique. Unfortunately, a lot of gamblers who might enjoy playing never try the game because they presume it’s too complicated.
The mystique is slowly vanishing, however, since you can now play Baccarat online. A few of the top online casinos not only offer the game through their Baccarat downloadable Casino software, but also allow you to play it directly through your browser. If you loathe having to download casino software, or you’re using a Mac, you’ll find the online option to be an ideal solution.
Below, we’ll take you through the game, and explain how to play Baccarat. We’ll spend a bit of time on the area that most confuses beginners: how to determine which hand wins. The following is not a Baccarat strategy guide. Instead, consider it a primer that will help you get started playing Baccarat online.
Two hands are dealt: the Player and the Banker. Neither hand is dealt specifically to you. Instead, you can bet on either hand according to which one you think will have a higher value. You can also bet that the two hands will tie. Hands are valued between 0 (zero) and 9. The highest-valued hand wins the round.
The Player hand always goes first, and initially receives two cards. If their value is 0 through 5, a third card is dealt. Otherwise, play goes to the Banker.
The Banker also receives two cards. If their value is 0 through 2, a third card is dealt. If their value is 7 through 9, a third card is not dealt. If the value of the first two cards is 3 through 6, a third card may or may not be dealt depending on the cards held by both the Player and Banker.
There are two ways in which your bet will pay out. First, as explained, you’ll win if you bet on the hand with the highest value. Second, you’ll win if you bet on a tie, and the two hands have the same value. The cards between the Player and Banker hands may be completely different, but valued the same.
First, both the Player and Banker hands will pay even money. If you bet $10, you’ll win $10 (assuming you make the correct bet). However, if you bet on the Banker, and the Banker wins, you’ll pay a 5% commission. On a $10 bet, you’ll pay $0.50.
Second, the Tie usually pays 8:1 or 9:1 odds, depending on where you play Baccarat online. On a $10 bet, you’ll win $80 or $90.
Bodog Casino – Bodog has made a name for itself as a full-service online gambling property. In addition to their casino, you’ll find a poker room, sportsbook, and racebook. Within their casino, their “Instant Play” environment offers most of the top table games, such as blackjack, craps, Pai Gow, and of course, Baccarat. Claim an instant and unlimited 10% bonus match when you make your first deposit (minimum $20). Be sure to visit our Bodog Casino Review page to get access to links and information.
Real money Baccarat has been played for centuries, and thus is one of the oldest casino games still offered today. In land-based casinos, it is typically the domain of well-heeled gamblers; a lot of casinos actually move the Baccarat tables away from the normal floor traffic. But anyone can play the game online, since it is offered at nearly all of the top gambling sites.
On this page, we’ll provide a quick tour through real money Baccarat. Because it is unlike most casino games, many gamblers are initially apprehensive about playing it. With this in mind, we’ll give you a simple tutorial for getting started, along with a couple of tips for doing well. We’ll also profile our top 4 online casinos to play Baccarat.
There are three bets you can make in Baccarat. You can bet on the Player, the Banker, or a Tie. Once you make your bet, the Player and Banker hands are dealt (Player first), each with two cards face-up. The goal is simple: correctly predict which hand will have a higher value, or that both will have the same value (i.e. a Tie).
1. 10s, Jacks, Queens, and Kings, have a value of zero.
2. Aces are valued as 1.
3. All other cards are counted at their face value.
Hand values are calculated by adding the values of each card, and dropping the tens place digit. For example, suppose the Player’s hand contains a 6 and a 7. Together, they total 13. Drop the tens place to arrive at 3. Check out our Baccarat Strategy articles for more details on playing this exciting game.
A third card may or may not be dealt to either hand, depending on the circumstances. Moreover, one hand may receive a third card while the other does not. If the Player’s initial hand (i.e. first two cards) totals zero through 5, it receives a third card. Otherwise, it does not. Treatment of the Banker’s hand is a bit more complex, as explained below.
1. The Banker has 3, and the Player has anything but 8.
2. The Banker has 4, and the Player has a 2 through 7.
3. The Banker has 5, and the Player has a 4 through 7.
4. The Banker has 6, and the Player has a 6 or 7.
Here again, the cards’ individual values are added together, and the tens place digit is dropped. For instance, suppose the Banker’s hand contains a 4, 7, and 8. Together, they total 19. Drop the tens place to arrive at 9.
If you correctly predict the Player’s win, you’ll be paid 1:1 (even money). If you correctly predict the Banker’s win, you’ll be paid 1:1, less a 5 percent commission to the house. For example, a $20 bet on the Banker would pay out $20, less a $1 commission (or, $19).
If you correctly predict a Tie, your bet is usually paid out at 9:1, depending on the casino.
The most important tip for playing real money Baccarat is to always bet on the Banker. The house edge on the Banker’s hand is only 1.056 percent, taking into account the 5 percent commission. The edge on the Player’s hand is 1.237 percent.
A related tip is to always avoid the Tie bet. Resist the temptation to chase the 9:1 payout. Assuming a 6-deck game, the house edge on the Tie is a stunning 14.438 percent. Again, stick to the Banker bet.
If you just want to go enjoy a few ‘free’ drinks at the casino and play in a slow paced, relaxed game, then Baccarat is the game for you. Of course if the attractive people are sitting over at the Pai Gow game then you could also play that and get to take your time and enjoy the drinks in a slower paced lowish house edge game.

This blog post provides an overview of the Device Management PowerShell Cmdlets sample that is available on TechNet Gallery (http://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/Device-Management-7fad2388). This sample provides cmdlets to enumerate, control and manage devices, similar in capabilities to Device Manager.
Hardware enumeration is something that the vast majority of Windows users don't need to worry about. Thanks to an extensive PnP infrastructure, the process of identifying devices, installing drivers and controlling those devices is handled transparently by the Operating System. Behind the scenes, years of technology improvement paired with an extensive ecosystem of device driver developers, provides the user worry-free device management.
But sometimes, users need to get a better understanding of the hardware topology (how the different devices are interconnected) as well as control individual devices. There are several scenarios were the ability to inquire and control each individual device on the system is necessary, for example: identifying which physical network port corresponds to a given network connection; balancing IO capabilities by moving IO expansion cards to different slots / NUMA nodes; configuring processor/socket affinity [RI1] on Server workloads in order to boost IO performance; among others.
For a long time, Device Manager has provided rich device management and enumeration capabilities for end-users.
Although feature-rich; Device Manager, currently, is only available as a graphical UI. Users that need to automate or script operations that rely on Device Manager can't have it running in 'console' mode.
For users that need to script device operations or topology enumeration, different options are currently available, including but not limited to: WMIC (WMI Command Line - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742610.aspx); devcon.exe (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272); Get-WmiObject (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee176860.aspx) and CoreInfo.exe (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc835722.aspx).
Although the above-mentioned options are great alternatives to script device management tasks, a solution based on these will still have to be coded using different calling methods as each command has its own calling convention and custom output.
PowerShell provides several extensibility points, modules being one. Modules can be implemented in different ways, one being binary modules. Those are .NET Framework assemblies (.dll) that contain compiled code.
Windows currently provides plenty of API functions to perform device enumeration and management operations - those functions are exposed by the SetupAPI.
The following sections on this post intend to provide an overview of the Device Management PowerShell Cmdlets sample that is available on TechNet Gallery. The main goal of these cmdlets is to provide a uniform mechanism to enumerate, control and manage devices, similar in capabilities to Device Manager allowing PowerShell scripts to easily execute device related operations.
In a nutshell, the cmdlets were implemented using Visual Studio 2012 and .NET Framework 4.5. All the device related operations are performed by calling into SetupAPI functions. An overview of those functions can be found at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff537796(v=vs.85).aspx.
It’s not a goal of this post to deep dive into the implementation details. Further posts will provide more insights on how the cmdlets work.
To download, follow the above link and click on the “Download” button. Save and extract the contents of the.zip file to a folder of your choice.
The goal of this post was to introduce the Device Management PowerShell cmdlets sample and describe how it can be used. A series of posts is going to follow covering the implementation details as well as new features as these cmdlets are being developed further.
If you find these cmdlets useful, please feel free to contact ricardom@microsoft.com with thoughts, ideas and suggestions.

This paper follows up on studies reported in Dicks et al.(EdMedia 2004) and Shaw et al. (ELearn 2004), both of which focused on improving the reliability and efficiency in current database-oriented search-and-retrieval mechanisms in e-learning applications through the use of topic map technology (ISO/IEC 13250). In the present investigation, we compare two groups, namely, Arab and North American graduate learners' use of topic maps in searching for online resources to complete an essay assignment. The development of our topic maps is grounded in a theory of cognitive information-processing and information retrieval. Sources of data include (a) hard data drawn from observations, tracking of search-related steps, and results of searches; and (b) soft data concerning judgments of utility of information and user's understandings of the search process. We expect the results to indicate differences in precision and recall-related measures between the two groups, as well as illuminate qualitative aspects of how culture might explain differences in information-seeking behaviors.

The Windows Server Catalog site may just be one of the best kept secrets on the web.

"A beta VPC image for GP11.0 will likely be available in the winter of 2009/2010"
Checkout this post in Mariano blog! Really interesting!!
Do you want to understand how to best optimize the performance of the latest Dynamics GP 10 SP3 VPC image?
Do you want to learn more about the new technologies and demo features that were added to this image?
Do you want to understand the technical details of exactly how the Extending the Reach (Dynamics GP + SharePoint) vision demos were created?
NOW AVAILABLE MSFT DYNGP10 SP3 Technical Demonstration Toolkit/VPC!!!
It is with GREAT EXCITEMENT that we are announcing the availability of the new Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 SP3 Technical Demonstration Toolkit/VPC!!!
This has been an enormous project!! I am very proud and thankful of the work from all who have made this project a reality. There is no question, this is the BEST Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 VPC we have released yet!!
I often get queries about the virtualization capabilities of Dynamics GP and also the what are the benefits of virtualization. For some background information have look at the Virtualization Home Page on Microsoft.com. You can find everything on here from the products in our virtualization suite, case studies, resources and downloads.
Technical Demonstration Toolkit Now Available for Download for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 here.
For the last few years, I have used Virtual Server 2005 to host virtual machines for testing different Dynamics GP environments, and for hosting different development environments. Some clients still use SQL 2000 and GP 8, while others are using SQL 2008 with the latest GP 10 service pack. Maintaining those configurations on a single physical machine typically isn't practical, so Virtual Server offered a great way to easily maintain and backup multiple server configurations. Virtual Server uses the same VHD files as Virtual PC, but I found that it was more convenient to use, easier to manage VMs, and seemed to be faster than Virtual PC.

In our first year of teaching computer coding in sometime, Mrs. Blue is meeting the diverse needs of her students based on where they are now. Some students are getting the basics, because this is their first time writing computer language. Others are coming in more advanced, and she has them learning Java or C++.
Senior Carol Wygant is focusing on a first for women, graduating as an Army Ranger, with her piece that illustrates females breaking through the roles and stereotypes often projected by society for girls.
Mrs. Seal-Roth’s Art students are using soft and hard edges to create a realistic look in their drawings.
What if we graded students only on what they could master, but gave opportunities to relearn the material they didn’t get the first time?
Northview Alumni and current students who traveled to Black Rock, Nevada this summer, and engineered a rocket flight that reached Mach speed and 13,000 feet into the atmosphere explained their journey to the Board of Education and Sylvania residents on Monday. These students and graduates were honored with commendations for their 2nd place national finish.
Our students hit the streets of downtown Toledo this morning running and walking, as well as playing music and cheering for the thousands of racers.

Only after agreeing to take part, did I start asking questions about what would actually be involved. Read on to discover more about the Rotary Connecting For Good tour and why it is showcasing the future of Rotary.
The Connecting For Good tour is a Rotary Zones 25/26 initiative lead by Zones 25/26 Director Brad Howard and Zones 25/26 Young Professional Program Chair Danielle Lallement. It was inspired by the amazing Rollin With Rotary tour. The Rotary Connecting For Good tour aims to engage Rotary Young Professionals and push the boundaries of people’s understanding of Rotary. It will be the biggest Rotary goodwill road trip to hit the west coast.
The Rotary Connecting For Good tour will kick off in Honolulu on 28th October. Then from Seattle, myself and 4 other Rotarians/Rotaractors will drive an RV for the rest of the trip. We will be visiting Seattle, Portland, Eugene, Sacramento, San Francisco, Oakland, Fresno, Bakersfield, Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Diego and Los Angeles. Finally, on 11th November, we will arrive at our final stop, Santa Barbara. In each city, Rotarians and the Connecting For Good team will host a community service project. These projects will showcase the great work that Rotary does in that community. We will connect with local Rotarians, community members and organisations to volunteer, network and ultimately make connections for good.
One of the main reasons, I was excited about being part of the Rotary Connecting For Good tour was its focus on community. Founding a Rotary club has shown me how important it is to be active in your community. This is especially true when trying to attract new members. Volunteering is by far, the number one thing people put value in when considering joining Rotary. The Rotary Connecting For Good tour will be a whirlwind of 14 different cities, Rotary clubs, community organisations and a whole lot of volunteering. There is nothing more powerful for the image of Rotary than a group of people proudly wearing the Rotary logo having fun, volunteering, doing good and being visible. The Rotary Connecting For Good tour will ensure that this image is seen everywhere.
Throughout the road trip, we will be sharing stories, photos and videos. So please follow the #rotaryconnectingforgood tour on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Share our posts and help us spread the word about Rotary and the Rotary Connecting For Good Tour. You can also search for stories using #rotaryconnectingforgood and #wearerotary.
I hope to provide you with regular updates and insights from the RV on my blog. So make sure to check back regularly. You can also follow me on the Rethink Rotary Twitter too. I’m looking forward to having you all along for the ride!

I’m so far behind in my letter-writing that I honestly don’t know just where to begin. By this time you will have received my Hong Kong story and I do hope it will keep you busy until you receive this letter. As you can see by the length of it, it took me the good part of one week’s spare time to get the whole thing on paper.
Things around here have changed so much in the past few weeks. I think I mentioned in one of my recent “hasty notes” that Errol Wyse is with us now from Tokyo. Also, Mr. Duder returned to Canada last Tuesday. It was a sad day indeed for the entire Delegation. Mr. Duder had won the respect and admiration of not only our Delegation, but of the Poles and indians as well. Things will just never be quite the same now that he is gone. Maj.-Gen. [Eric] Snow has taken over as the Acting Commissioner until Mr. Duder’s replacement arrives in August. Mr. Duder may be giving you a phone call when he arrives in Ottawa.
Tomorrow our new steno arrives from Ottawa, and Hap is expecting to be posted to Hanoi for a month before he goes home. Around the middle of July some of our chaps are heading back home. We have a new Political Advisor here now from Ottawa and Mr. Murray, whom he succeeded, leaves for Ottawa at the end of the month. As you can see, things are certainly changing around here and it is very sad to see all the old familiar faces leaving. It is sad, I should say, for those still left behind!! There is even talk of air-conditioning our office! That, to may way of thinking, is going to take all the fun our of Phnom Penh!
In spite of all the fun and excitement and adventure that this very unusual posting has been, I’m beginning to get very weary of the whole thing. It will be nice to get back into a good old “routine” and be able to live with civilized white people again. Yes, the day I leave the jungle for the last time will indeed be a very happy one. But I certainly have no regrets. It’s been the most wonderful experience for me, especially when you consider my age. But, as I said, I am becoming very weary of this primitive existence and all the hardships that go with it.
At five to eleven this morning and up until 10 minutes to 12, we were fortunate enough to witness a partial eclipse of the sun. The morning was very clear and very bright – nice blue sky and all. You just can’t imagine how an eclipse looks in this part of the world, where the sun is usually so bright!! Everything turned pink and looked very weird indeed in a sort of half-light effect!
And I received a very nice souvenir of Mr. Duder’s departure for Canada. It is an enlargement of a photo taken at the airport just before Mr. Duder got aboard the plane. It shows all the Canadian Delegation in a great long line shaking hands with Mr. Duder. And who do you think he was shaking hands with when the photographer took the picture? You guessed it – yours truly!! It’s rather too big to send home in the dip bag so I shall just keep it with me till I return.
I nearly forgot to mention that I’m going up to Hanoi on Thursday and coming back to Phnom Penh on Sunday. Although I was in Hanoi last September, it shall be interesting to see a city now under the Communist regime – “behind the Bamboo Curtain”. I’ll tell you about it next letter.

Jed of wunderboy.org has released a new version of his Half-Life Model Viewer. Amongst other new features it now supports various Half-Life package formats including GCF and PAK files through HLLib.
Hey, that is pretty cool!
Now if Valve would just incorperate HLLIB in to VHE, we'd be all set!
To be honest I wish Valve would have released Hammer's source code, you'd see a far better version of it now if they had. That said I was very disappointed when I learnt Valve planned to modify Hammer for HL2. In my opinion it is already a very poor level editor. Other level editors such as QuArK are just plain slow, and most of them Quake based. A new level editor designed specifically for HL2 is what we need.
BTW, for those mappers out there, HLMV can be a very useful tool for searching GCF files for level models.

The Kardashians have had their fair share of well-posed family photos, but there are times when things just don't go as expected. Take Kim Kardashian's photo with Kanye West and their kids, for example. While the mom-of-three looked picture-perfect (I mean, when doesn't she?), her little ones had some trouble pulling things together. OK, maybe a lot of trouble — but it kind of makes the photo even more adorable.
If you're a parent (or even if you're not) and have ever tried to take a photo with a kid, you know that sometimes getting a good one where everyone is looking at the camera can be next to impossible. And when that happens, you have to roll with whatever you can get. That appears to be what happened to Kardashian on March 30. On Saturday morning, the beauty mogul shared an Instagram pic of herself, her hubby, and their children lying in bed together, but Chicago and Saint West appear to be focused on everything but the camera. While Chicago appears to be fixated on a diamond-encrusted chain around her father's neck, Saint is shown pulling on his mom while giving his big sis North a funny look. Despite the apparent chaos, the famous parents manage to keep calm facial expressions as if nothing is going on, and if that isn't on brand for all the parents out there, IDK what is.
Be honest: Kanye's face says it all, doesn't it?
Their photoshoots are probably going to be even harder to pull off once baby No. 4 arrives. While the due date is unclear, reports have said that the baby is due in early May. Elite Daily previously reached out to representatives for Kardashian for comment on or confirmation of the reports, but did not hear back. There seems to be some truth to those reports, though, as Us Weekly reported on March 29 that the reality star and her fashion designer hubby have been preparing for their child's arrival. “Kim and Kanye have begun work on the nursery,” an insider told the publication.
The only thing left to do, the report says, is to come up with a name for the baby, which has apparently been really difficult for Kardashian and West. “Kim and Kanye are not close to naming the new baby,” the insider added. “They won’t know until the week before and probably only day of. It’s quite the process.” Elite Daily reached out to Kardashian's and West's reps for comment on the reported baby preparations, but have not heard back at the time of publication.
I'm sure the best things to do in those stressful times is to have a chill day in bed with your hunny and your other kids. Sure, the family photoshoot might not have worked out perfectly, but this will probably make for a really cute memory when the Wests look back at this moment. Don't you think?

In case of ischemic heart disease a selective coronography is performed during which the optimum treatment is selected subject to localization and degree of damage to coronary arteries.
Angioplasty (widening in areas of narrowing) of coronary arteries and stenting (stent placement in area of narrowing). The procedure may be performed as scheduled treatment as well as urgent procedure in course of development of myocardial infarction.
In case of ischemic heart disease and rheumatic heart damage together extended-combined operations of aorto-coronary bypass surgery and valve plastics or prosthesis placement are performed.
White type defects – closing of open arterial duct, septum of auricle or ventricle defects, correction of atrioventricular communication, resection of aortic coarctation, ablation of aorta or lung artery stenosis, etc.
Hair plays a very important role in the appearance of both men and women, and their displacement or loss may provoke psychological disorders, deteriorate the quality of life, people lose their confidence.During consultation the cause of hair loss in determined, estimated hair density in the donor zone, hair condition, desired expectations are discussed. Concomitant illnesses are clarified. Only then a doctor can recommend individual procedure mode and choose proper treatment combinations.
There are no age limits, thus the procedure is performed for both young and elderly patients, ahead of evaluating hair loss or scars’ appearance reasons, related pathologies. The procedure is performed for both men and women. Most often the hair of head skin is transplanted in case of androgenic alopecia (inherited, by hormone pathology caused disease), in the case of beard hair or eyebrow hair rarefaction.
The donation zone in most cases is an occiput area, but on some occasions, if density in that area is insufficient, hair follicles are taken from the back or other body places. Every case is individual and finally decided between a patient and a doctor during the consultation.
There is no special preparation for the procedure, but a few days ahead of it is recommended to avoid alcohol and blood-thinning medications consumption, in order to bypass unwanted bleeding. It is recommended that smokers reduce the amount of nicotine.
DHI (Direct hair implantation) method performs hair transplantation procedure by transferring one hair follicle from the donor area to that location, where you want to restore your hair or increase their density. The diameter of the instrument is just on millimeter and sometimes even less. Removed hair is kept in a special medium – in the liquid and at the appropriate temperature, which enables to assure good hair engraftment and growth/development after transplantation. Each single hair using a unique DHI patented implantator (as well 1 mm caliber minimum traumatic diameter) is placed in the required direction of growth, by selecting proper angle of growth, depth.
No scalpers or other traumatic surgical instruments are used. Precisely this technology makes procedure superior to other hair transplantation methods, for example such as FUE (follicular unit extraction), because rules out premature “holes” and cracks producing in the skin before implantation of the hair or Strip method, when the hair is transplanted with skin areas, there obvious scars remain, difficult healing period, a high risk of infection appears.Only topical (local) anesthesia is applied, the patient avoids narcosis, during the procedure interacts with staff or just listens to music. The duration varies from several to 4-7 hours depending on the amount of procedure performed. During the breaks the patient can enjoy meals and drinks. In most cases the patients are capable of returning to the normal working order the very next day.
There is no need for long-term use of medication, because the transplanted hair will not fall out. Externally used medication Minoxidil is recommended as a preventive measure for the hair that has not been transplanted. PRP (platelet-rich plasma) procedure is recommended for all patients ahead of and after hair transplantation.
Doctors performing this procedure are certified by DHI London Hair Restoration Academy diplomas and all interventions are carried out in accordance with strict DHI standardized quality protocols.
DHI is No. 1 not only in Lithuania, but in the whole world.

Screenshot from Mayan Around Town's video blog of Fleur de Passion's visit to Cebu, Philippines.
The year 2021 will mark the 500th anniversary of Ferdinand Magellan's journey around the globe. Ahead of this historic date, researchers have been following his tracks on board a sailboat led by the Geneva-based non-profit organization Foundation Pacifique. This ocean mapping expedition aims to explore humanity’s impact on the oceans and the environment. To replicate Magellan's voyage, the research team set sail from Seville, Spain in April 2015 as part of a four-year trip which will take them around the world.
Screenshot of a map tracking the voyage of the Fleur de Passion from the expedition's website.
Magellan was a Portuguese explorer who set sail from Seville, Spain in 1519 and embarked on a voyage which became the first recorded circumnavigation of the Earth. His arrival in Cebu, in 1521, would eventually lead to the Spanish colonization of the Philippine Islands.
Working mainly with the authorities of the Swiss City-State of Geneva, the ocean mapping expedition offers various educational and cultural programs to the public.
The 20,000 Sounds under the Seas program in partnership with biologist and engineer Michel André that records the sounds of the sea to assess noise pollution produced by human activity.
The Micromégas program with the Federal Polytechnic University of Lausanne which involves taking seawater samples at the ocean surface to evaluate the level of plastic pollution.
The Winds of Change program in partnership with the University of Geneva launched in November which monitors the methane and carbon dioxide levels in the oceans in order to better understand global warming.
The expedition also encourages education initiatives such as The Youth at Sea educational program which invites young people to stay on-board Fleur de Passion for up to two months to experience life at sea as full-time crew members. Over 34 teenagers have participated in the program since 2015. As part of an arts initiative, the ship also offers the Magellan’s Mirror cultural program which invites cartoonists from Switzerland and other parts of the world to come aboard the ship and create illustrations to explains the expedition's mission and its programs to a wider audience.
On January 20, the ship joined this year’s Translacion Sinulog fluvial procession before departing for the next stop on its voyage in Puerto Galera, Mindoro. The Translacion carries the image of Cebu’s patron, the Señor Santo Niño, across the Mactan Channel a day before the Sinulog Grand Parade celebrating the Christianization of Cebu. The image of the Señor Santo Niño was said to have been presented by Magellan to Cebu Queen Juana as part of the conversion of the natives of Cebu to Christianity. Lapu-Lapu City in Mactan Island was named after the chieftain Lapu-Lapu whose men killed Magellan in resistance to Spanish colonial conquest.
Filipino fashion blogger David Guison took photos of the Sinulog fluvial parade from the deck of the Fleur de Passion.
Established in 2007, Foundation Pacifique has been carrying out educational, cultural, and scientific expeditions in order to help understand the human impact on the ocean. Fleur de Passion’s voyage can be tracked on their website and updates can found on their Facebook page and YouTube channel. The ship is scheduled to complete Magellan's journey in August 2019.
This looks like a voyage of history but also gathering real data samples and seeing what is happening to our oceans. It must be recorded, studied and made known to the public what is found out. This will raise more action to stop this madness .

It seems that Microsoft is not happy with the growth of Microsoft Edge, it’s the default browser for Windows 10. That’s why it plans to ditch out the development of its Edge browser.
Built from the scratch with a new rendering engine known as EdgeHTML, Microsoft Edge was designed to be fast, lightweight, and secure, but it launched with a plethora of issues that resulted in users rejecting it early on. Edge has since struggled to gain traction, thanks to its continued instability and lack of mindshare, from users and web developers.
As per latest reports the company will start to work on the completely new browser. The rumors state that the new browser will be using Chromium – Google’s rendering engine that powers the Chrome browser, for the foundation of the new browser. The project is presently named as Anaheim and will host web pages in a fashion pretty similar to how Google’s Chrome handles it.
Using Chromium means websites should behave just like they do on Google Chrome in Microsoft’s new Anaheim browser, meaning users shouldn’t suffer from the same instability and performance issues found in Edge today. This is the first step towards revitalizing Windows 10’s built-in web browser for users across PCs and phones.
Adopting Chromium as the default rendering engine for Windows 10 will end Microsoft’s hostility towards Chrome. Microsoft has regularly pushed notifications to Windows 10 users to attempt to convince them not to use Chrome, and Microsoft pulled Google’s Chrome installer from the Windows Store because it violated store policies.

Pastor (Mrs.) Precious Diana Abasi, was recently honoured with the Virgin Queen Award for the year 2018 by the General Overseer of Christ’s Love Pentecostal Church, Agbor, Pastor Louis Adione.
According to Pastor Louis Adione, the initiator of the award which started in 2006, the Virgin Queen Award, which is a divine mandate, was instituted by God’s divine direction in order to inculcate a sense of virginity and purity to young people, mostly the young girls, saying it is biblical because God honours virgins and men also celebrate them. Continuing, he stated that the virgin Queen Award is part of his ministry, noting that God is a good God, who loves good things, hence as God’s children, we need to do good things and live a life of righteousness.
Speaking further, Pastor Adione, who is also the Proprietor of Jesus Kids Nursery and Primary School, Agbor, said the aim of the outreach is geared towards fighting HIV/Aids, Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs), Abortions and untimely death, through the promotion of virginity among the girl child, stressing that the best gift which the ladies can give to their husbands on their wedding night is their virginity; emphasizing that every man will honour a wife whom he marries as a virgin.
In a brief speech, before the award presentation, which took place at the church auditorium located at 104, Umudein Street, Agbor, the man of God informed the gathering comprising youths and some elderly persons at the event that God honours virgins, hence He prefers to use them, like Mary the mother of Jesus, whom God used to bring His son into the world. Another was Queen Esther who was a virgin through whom Israel was saved, in Babylon during King Ahasuerus. He admonished the young girls to remain pure till they get married, as it will help them to focus on their education and the question of abortion and untimely death will not arise.
According to him, he gives the award to any lady irrespective of the church she attends, in as much as she keeps herself pure and it is discovered on her wedding night and confirmed by her husband.
High point of the event was the wearing of the virgin Queen Crown on the recipient, Pastor (Mrs.) Precious Diana Abasi, and a cash award of twenty thousand naira to her, by Pastor Louis Adione.
During question and answer session by participants at the event, when asked how she was able to remain a virgin from her primary to tertiary education until she got married, Pastor (Mrs.) Abasi said she was able to overcome the temptation because of her love for God, her commitment in obeying the commandment of God to be pure, and her determination to marry as a virgin.
On her part, Pastor (Mrs.) Aduba, the mother of the 2018 virgin Queen Awardee, thanked God for the honour bestowed on her by the award given to her daughter.
When asked how she was able to train her daughter to be a virgin until she got married she said that it was through the grace of God and the commitment of herself and her late husband in training their children in the ways and fear of God, that enabled her children to live a decent life style. She encouraged parents to always train up their children in the fear of God.
Speaking with newsmen, Pastor Diana Abasi Udoh, the husband of the awardee, said he never believed it when the wife told him that she was a virgin, when he first approached her, but stated that he was elated and that gave him the courage to wait until after their wedding, when he actually confirmed that she was indeed a virgin. Continuing, he disclosed that of a truth, God honours virgins of which being married to one, makes him to enjoy the bountiful blessings of God.
In a chat with Ika Weekly Newspaper reporter shortly after the ceremony, Pastor Louis Adione said he will continue to give out the award until Christ comes. He also disclosed that he has started preaching the virtue of virginity to pupils of his school, saying that God asked him to start the school so that he will be able to bring up the children early in life in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Continuing, he stated that tuition is free for the orphans and children of widows in the school, disclosing that they have up to 70 of such children currently in the school.

I make a similar point in my piece “Alt Right Art”; in order to fight the depredations of political correctness, we must insure that “our” artists have space to operate, free from pressure to conform to what our adversaries find to be palatable or “acceptable.” In short, we need the freedom to be determinedly and implacably UNacceptable wherever and whenever we deem it appropriate to do so. We need, that is a degree of clout, and clout can only be assured through our seeing to the continued financial independence of our benefactors.

centre that visitors do not bring a vehicle on to the island.
Many of the streets are narrow and only navigable by foot. Cars can be brought on to the island but are directed to the sea-side streets.
Ortygia was, at one time, one the great ancient capitals of Western civilization, founded in 734 BC by Greek Colonists from Corinth. It grew to rival and even surpass, Athens in splendour and power.
Upon first entry to the island by way of Ortygia Island Bridge or by water taxi, a visitor arrives in the centre of Piazza Pancali. Directly behind the piazza stand the remains of the Tempio di Apollo. Little, of this noble Doric temple still remains today, except for some crumbled walls and scattered columns.
From the Tempio di Apollo, it is best for visitors to proceed up the street directly to the right of the ruins. This will take visitors along high end shops, to Piazza Archimede, which plays home to the famous Fontana di Diana, festooned with fainting sea nymphs and dancing jets of water.
From the fountain, in under 2 minutes, it is possible to arrive at the Piazza del Duomo, considered one of Italy's most beautiful piazzas and home to Siracusa's ancient and splendid Duomo. The piazza also boasts, Sicilian Baroque architecture which can be admired from one of several cafès which line the piazza.
The Duomo is an archive of the island's history. The deepest excavations have revealed that Siculi inhabitants worshipped their deities here, during the 5th C. BC, the same time as Agrigento's Temple of Concord was built), the Greeks built a temple to Athena over it, and in the 7th C. AD, Siracusa's first Christian Cathedral was built on top of the Greek structure.
There are several other impressive buildings to see in the piazza, including: the Palazzo Beneventano del Bosco, which sits on the corner of the piazza and Santa Lucia alla Badia, which stands at the far end of the Piazza. It is currently being restored and will most likely be a work in progress for years to come, though if you ask construction workers to let you have a peak, they will most likely say yes.
Just around the corner from Piazza del Duomo is Palazzo Bellomo, which houses the famous Museum Bellomo, which is Siracusa's principal museum of art. Among the paintings and sculptures is a Santa Lucia by Caravaggio (1573-1610).
The Bellomo museum is open from Monday to Saturday from 9AM to 5PM and on Sundays from 9AM to 2PM. It costs 4 Euros to enter.
Walking from the Bellomo Museum or from Piazza Del Duomo, will most likely bring visitors to the ocean. On the southern side (left of the piazza), visitors will easily locate the Alfeo Promenade, which is lined by many restaurants which cater to tourists. Walking along this promenade will inevitably bring visitors to Castello Maniace at the southern tip of Ortygia island. It was built by Frederick II (1194-1250) and is now an army barracks. There are beautiful views to the sea from here.
Be sure to wander along the Via Della Maestranza, the main lateral street of the island, or Via Veneto, on the eastern side, where you'll notice the bulbous wrought-iron balconies said to have been fashioned to accommodate ladies' billowing skirts, and facades embellished with mermaids. These walks make for great pictures.
Though the Island of Ortygia does offer visitors some oppotunities to swim, swimmers are generally confined to rocks and rocky beaches. It's best to get off of the island and away from the city for a swim during the summer months.

Natalia and Vassia were involved since little with exercise and specifically with the Instrumental-acrobatic. Today, they are in the fourth year of Gymnastics Academy in Athens. They met at school, they tied almost instantly and the last 3 years are very good friends. Their common interests and activities led to the creation of the acrodance, which operates the last year.

Mathia is an online addition to our math classes. Students are required to complete work-spaces along with their regular daily assignments. The work-spaces are at the student's own pace, which also align with Carnegie Curriculum and reinforce classroom lessons.
Students can also access their E-Text through their Carnegie Learning account.
► Responsibility. You need to come to class prepared each day, and with all required materials.
► Accountability. Students must turn in homework at the beginning of class. Late work (at the discretion of the teacher) may either be not accepted, given ½-credit, or on larger assignments be reduced by one letter grade per day. If you are absent, ask a classmate, or contact the teacher via email or note. Illegible writing will not be accepted. Use pencil for assignments unless pen is requested - blue or black ink only, or typed, and include your heading (name, date, and period) on all submissions.
► Respect. All students will respect themselves, each other, the teacher, the classroom, the textbooks, and personal belongings.
► Participation. Both the district and the state standards include public listening and speaking. If students do not participate, their grades may be lower. If students disrupt the class and cannot employ good listening skills, a conference may be requested. Frequent absences also affect learning, and especially their grades.

Is it possible to be completely authentic in all parts of your life? I was challenged on this recently, and the conversation got me thinking about what does it mean to be authentic.
While I find these quotes hard to argue, how do you achieve this? What does it even mean?
I spent the first 25 years of my career looking for something. In that time I went through eight jobs. That means my average tenure in any position was around three years.
I have plenty of reasons for leaving those jobs. Most times I blamed someone or something else. I blamed the company, manager, working conditions and more. In one case, I got laid off. However, quitting was inevitable so I will look at the experience the same way.
While all of the reasons I gave were true, I now see I kept denying one underlying factor: an inauthentic self.
Take, for example, my time working as a Project Manager. I spent a lot of time trying to live up to the expectations and image of being a PM. My friend Dave Dame like’s to point out that I even dressed like a PM (think business casual). Dave’s observation is insightful, and truthfully how I dressed wasn’t even the authentic me.
Beyond how I dressed, I had a job that required me to be something I’m not. At least these were the stories I told myself at the time.
For example, one place I worked placed a lot of value on there being no emotions in the workplace. Given I wanted to look good and succeed, I adopted this belief myself.
I would ask people to check their emotions at the door when I believed meetings were going to be tense. At the time I thought this was a useful tactic if I was to be a successful leader.
Fast forward to today, and I am very aware of my personality type, core values, and more. My natural temperament says one of my first concerns is with authenticity and the people. People with my character tend to be very emotionally intelligent as well.
So let’s return to asking people to check their emotions at the door. Asking people to ignore emotions is not authentic or natural for me. Leading in such an inauthentic way only caused me stress.
All the ways I chose to be inauthentic is the elephant in my room that I was not acknowledging with all those jobs. I was trying to be something I’m not. As a result, I was limiting the impact I could have as a leader.
Authenticity is the act of being authentic. To be authentic is by definition to be genuine. Given the word authentic is an adjective it is used to describe the quality of something. In this case, authentic is being used to describe your way of living.
Think of the times you’re talking to different groups of people. Family, friends, colleagues, your team, those you lead, etc. Where are the places you’re authentic? Are you inauthentic in any of them?
If you’re unsure to what degree and when you are authentic, think of how you feel when you’re with different groups. When I’m authentic, there is very little self-talk happening in my head. I feel more relaxed and present. I certainly don’t worry whether I’m doing the right thing.
For the past number of years, I have been striving to be increasingly authentic in all parts of my life. I’m increasingly authentic in how I dress, how I show up, and in living and working within my beliefs.
To be inauthentic, would mean withholding what is essential to me in some way. For example, my first core value is freedom. For me, freedom means to let go of any belief that I need to be or do something I don’t want to be or do.
When I ignore a core value such as freedom, I find myself stressed and unsure of myself. I also notice the self-talk gets a lot louder and distracting.
It’s not that you cannot do things unnatural to your personality type and beliefs. However, there’s a price to pay for doing this.
In at least one case, I attribute high blood pressure to being inauthentic. I believed the job I was in required me to behave and lead in a way which is unnatural to me. My only evidence is the rise in my blood pressure while I worked there (I monitor my blood pressure). I also experienced a significant drop in blood pressure after I quit.
Honestly, only you will know if you are being authentic. People who know you well might be able to spot it happening. However, your authentic self is an internal process. Only you will know if you’re being genuine.
Leadership is creating the conditions for others to succeed.
There are countless benefits to people being able to be authentic at work. You will notice an improvement in things like morale, engagement, collaboration, absenteeism, turnover and more.
As a leader, there are many things you can do to support authenticity in the workplace.
Spend time with the individuals you lead every week. Book time with everyone to make sure it happens. Make connecting and knowing each other a priority for this time. Work results and activities are secondary.
If you think your calendar is too full to hold this time for the people, then that’s a problem you may want to solve. Knowing and supporting the people they lead is one of the most important jobs you have.
Another way to increase authenticity is to hold regular team events with a focus on the people (this includes you). Get to know yourselves and each other better. An event could be as simple as a social time or going for a walk together at lunch. You could also use one of the readily available tools which will help people understand themselves better.
People who can be their most authentic selves will always bring more passion, creativity and everything else that lead to results. In other words, they will be more engaged in helping you get the results you are after.

Born to a musician father and teenage mother, Sara Pascoe grew up in Dagenham without many rules and says grown ups told her she could do anything, even fly to the moon.
But the former Godwin Junior School pupil never dreamt she would end up as a comedian with her name in lights.
When her family moved to Romford in the ‘90s, Sara and her two sisters were sent to Eastbury Comprehensive School, and life changed dramatically.
“I found that a lot harder. It was a real slap as no one was telling me that I could be an astronaut or anything I wanted any more and suddenly not conforming was not a good thing.
“I guess they thought I was weird because I was very outspoken. I liked to run assemblies, give lectures, set up a bully line and basically made myself a real target by never just shutting up or conforming.
“So I look back now and think adolescence was about learning to keep my mouth shut, rather than walking around telling everyone what to do and now, of course, that‘s virtually my job.“ It all turned around for Sara thanks to her mum Gail Newmarch who fought to get Sara into Gaynes School in Upminster and then, without realising, set her daughter on the path to fame.
“When I was 14 I had a party to try and get the other children to like me when my mum was out with her boyfriend, but the house got trashed and the police got called.
“My mum really wanted to punish me, but she worked full-time and wasn‘t at home until 7pm, so she made me join a drama group, Theatre Box in Romford, to keep me off the streets and away from people and it was just the best thing that could have happened to me because I suddenly had friends outside of school and I realised all I wanted to do was act.“ After a degree in English at Sussex University, Sara took any acting job she could get in between temping, but it wasn‘t until she was 27 that she tried her hand at comedy.
“I had always been very sneering of comedy as I thought it was easy as it‘s so flippant and silly. I didn‘t realise it was all written down, I thought comedy was all improvised. I had seen Billy Connelly, Jack Dee and Harry Hill and thought they were making it all up and were geniuses.
“Then I realised it was all written down and I found that much less intimidating, so I thought I would book a gig. I did my first show – I loved the feeling of it.
“I think the thing with fear, be it jumping out of a plane or doing stand up, is your body gives you lots of endorphins flooding through you and it becomes a very physical addiction. The minute you finish a gig you want to do another one.“ After just five months she was spotted by talent agent Dawn Sedgewick.
“She changed my life. For the first time I had someone really believing in me and saying ‘no matter how long it takes it‘s going to happen’.
“She got me acting work on TV and suddenly I didn‘t have to work proper jobs any more and could concentrate on stand-up and acting.“ Since then Sara has gone on to appear on our small screens in Live at the Apollo, QI, Never Mind The Buzzcocks, Mock The Week, Stand Up For the Week and has been to Edinburgh five times.
And this year the 33-year-old has been travelling the country for her first 26-date headline tour, Sara Pascoe v History, which sees her talk about female sexuality, Miley Cyrus and her own relationship with fellow comedian John Robins, and which she is bringing to Essex this week.
Sara, who now lives with John in Lewisham, says of falling in love: “For me it was the first time since I was a teenager that it was wholly consuming. I thought that wouldn‘t happen again and that once you become a bit older and wiser things were much more balanced and sensible.
“But I was on a five-hour car drive with a fellow comedian who I didn‘t know very well and we just had this incredibly stimulating conversation. When I got out of the car I was madly in love with him. I just got swept off my feet in a way I hadn‘t been expecting, and fortunately he felt the same way.“ She continues: “It made me consider how when you go into a relationship now, once you are out of your teenage years, you always have a back story, you have exes and things that have gone wrong for whatever reason. And then I started thinking about how we are influenced by our parents’ relationship and how they interacted. Then I started researching the evolutionary history of pair bonding and how that works and our animal instincts.
So I have combined all those three things to create a funny show and it‘s really about what hope do any of us have really of staying monogamous for any length of time?

So, listen up, there are many things you can change if you want to start the New Year with a different dating approach. I guess the first step would be to figure out which behaviors, concerning your dating habits, you want to change.
That doesn't mean that you aren't getting good advice from your friend, it just means that a counselor can add another element. Well heck, your friends may very well be making the same blasted mistakes you are, so it may be a case of the blind leading the blind.
For example, lets say that you are too prone to move too quickly. Why not make a "pact" with yourself that you won't talk about taking your relaionship to the next level for at least 2 months. Or you will wait until your partner brings it up.

Continuum X — the National SF Convention for 2014 — was a special one for FRAGMENTS OF A BROKEN LAND: VALARL UNDEAD. At that convention it won the Ditmar Award for Best Novel.
This is wonderful in itself, but the icing on the cake, as it were, was the context in which the Award was announced. My partner Cat Sparks had already won the Best Collected Work and Best Short Story Awards — for her superlative collection The Bride Price (Ticonderoga Press) and a story from it, “Scarp”. That was exciting enough. As it happened, however, Cat had been asked to present the Best Novel Award. So, without having any prescient knowledge of the winner, she made the announcement and presented me with the Award. I will always remember her excitement on opening the envelope — and that of Jack Dann, who was sitting next to me and has been phenomenally supportive of the book for a long time. There was much shouting and hugging, then and later.
Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be any pictorial evidence of me in my new suit (which I had brought not because I thought the book might win, but because I had been asked to present an award myself, earlier in the evening — and was required to dress in my “Oscars finery”).
I was honoured enough to be among such worthy nominees.
The full list of Ditmar Award nominees and winners can be found on Locus Online.
Writers know we have to be content with the value of the work itself, to believe in it, and not to place too great a reliance on positive reviews or to take negative reviews to heart. True worth lies in the words, in the endeavour. But often, deep down, we struggle with insecurity and … well, it’s hard to function in a vacuum, to get minimal response or sometimes never get even a glimmer of audience reaction to our work. Is anyone reading it? Does anyone care? Negative reviews are bad enough, though at least you may be able to learn from them. Being ignored can be the worst. When the work concerned is one that was deeply felt and the making of it had drawn blood, sweat and tears from the writer for (potentially) many years, such silence can be debilitating. So despite the problematic nature of awards in general (and arguments about them tend to proliferate throughout the writing community), the recognition offered by awards such as this one, both for winner and nominee, goes a long way toward ameliorating the pain of silence.
Fortunately Fragments of a Broken Land: Valarl Undead has been blessed with some wonderful and insightful reviews, even if the major magazines and review sites have been less than generous with their attention. But the dark gloom falls at times. Now this Ditmar Award for Best Novel comes like a burst of light in the darkness, a sonic boom in the silence. My thanks to everyone who voted for it — and were so generous with their congratulations and best wishes afterwards.
Addendum: Cover of The Bride Price, Cat Sparks (Ticonderoga Publishing). Trust me… you want to read this book.

In Iraq, American advisers need to train the 26 Iraqi brigades that the Pentagon says are still intact and loyal to the government and help the Iraqis establish new national guard units, which would have the primary responsibility for defending Sunni-dominated provinces and would be recruited largely from Iraqi tribes.
A senior State Department official said that the new Iraqi government had a plan to establish the national guard units but acknowledged that doing so would not be easy. “It is not going to be soon,” said the official, who could not be identified under the agency’s protocol for briefing reporters.
If ground troops are the only way to destroy ISIS—and they are—it’s easy to see why Pentagon officials are talking about this campaign taking “years.” Assuming it can be done at all, it will take at least that long to recruit and train the national guard units that are critical to success. That’s a long war.
I admit that my blogging today about the ISIS campaign has been a little bit cavalier. This is because it’s hard to take any of the operational details very seriously. We’re getting a bit of pro forma support from some Arab countries, and while this is useful from a PR standpoint it’s really not meaningful from a military standpoint. We’re pretty much alone out there. And details aside, this means that we’re going to spend years on an aerial campaign in Iraq and Syria while we desperately try once again to figure out how to succeed at a training mission that we’ve already failed at in both Afghanistan and Iraq. And we’re going to do it all by ourselves. I’d sure like to know what we’re going to be doing differently this time around that makes us think we finally have it right.

As an online marketer, you have to follow the Google guidelines without any shortcuts to achieve success in SEO. Although the instructions are more or less for the long-term, periodical changes do happen as Google continuously tries to improve upon the user experience by offering better quality content. Changes in algorithm also known as updates keep on occurring as Google tries to match search results better with user intent. To make most of what Google offers because it is the only way to SEO betterment, you must tune to the updates as quickly as possible. It would ensure that you follow the ultimate white hat guide in SEO by complying with the laid down rules that define the best SEO practices.
SEO takes time to give results, and it is not possible to correctly envisage how much time it can take. Moreover, the results might not make you happy, and you have to make many improvements that could further extend the time for giving the desired results. SEO is a lengthy process that you have to implement with patience. Since many marketers would like to get quick results, they fall into the trap of cutting corners for immediate gains and try to beat Google at their own game by tweaking the rules to outsmart it. Such acts considered as black hat practice is highly condemnable and attracts the ire of Google who comes down on erring websites heavily and penalizes it. It can be a massive blow to the SEO campaign.
What prompted the significant updates?
Google has always focused on backlinks to judge the quality of websites and used backlinks as signals of quality. Since the quality of sites has a link to its ranking by search engines, backlinks have always held the center stage of SEO. In the earlier stages, the emphasis was more on the number of backlinks and not so much on the quality of links. People were eager to collect as many backlinks as possible, not caring at all about its quality and the manner of acquiring it. It led to rampant spamming and unethical SEO practices (black hat practices) that caught the attention of Google that lost no time to arrest the decadence of SEO culture. Thus started a series of major Google SEO updates with Panda, Penguin, and Hummingbird, and the list continues.
The Panda update launched in February 2011 is the inaugural version of the primary algorithm updates that shook the SEO world. Never before did any update have such far-reaching impact on SEO. The purpose of the update was to arrest the spread of poor quality content that had become a concern for Google. The target was to identify websites with low-quality content and keep it out of the purview of search rankings. Sites that carried too many advertisements published duplicate content, and spammy content attracted penalties and debarred from indexing by search engines thereby preventing it from appearing in search results. Since 2016, Panda has been included in the core algorithm of Google search engines.
Because of Panda, websites now carry quality content so that the information is authentic, useful and relevant for users. The quality does not depend on the text length and density but on the intrinsic value of content that users derive from it. Shallow and thin content with little insight is low in quality and needs improvement with substantial research.
The Penguin update came close as the heels of Panda and launched in April 2012. It was an extension of Google’s drive to encourage websites to publish quality content. Since backlinks are signals that Google picks up to judge the authority and reputation of sites that it factors in ranking, the update aimed at weeding out spammy and poor quality backlinks. It marked the end of the days when only the number of links and not its quality qualified for earning good ranks in search results. Penguin targeted pages that contained poor quality links like those obtained from link farms and forced the websites to get rid of it by removing it or disavowing.
The summer of 2013 saw the launch of Hummingbird update that aimed at improving the semantic search capabilities. The nature of search queries became conversational, and people typed long questions. Google introduced the update to respond correctly to such queries. The new algorithm would help Google to understand the intent and context of the query better. Search engines could now look beyond just matching keywords literally but capture the broader perspective of questions.
Updates help Google to stay tuned to changes in user behavior prompted by technological advancements. The Mobile Friendly update of 2015 became a necessity to align searches with mobile devices, and we await more such updates in future.

Charlize Theron arrives at the 17th Annual Critics' Choice Movie Awards on Thursday, Jan. 12, 2012 in Los Angeles.
WEST HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The glittery, Champagne-soaked vibe of the Golden Globes spreads through Hollywood days before the ceremony, and the Dom Perignon was definitely flowing at W magazine's pre-Globes party.
On a patio overlooking the Sunset Strip at the storied Chateau Marmont, Golden Globe nominees Charlize Theron and Tilda Swinton and stars Emma Stone, Jessica Biel and Patrick Stewart mixed it up Friday night with fellow actors, filmmakers and fashionistas. The soiree honored W magazine's February movie issue.
Swinton, nominated for best actress in a drama for "We Need to Talk About Kevin," lit up the party in a white pantsuit, short platinum hair and bright smile. Theron, who's up for best actress in a comedy or musical for "Young Adult," looked every inch the star in a slinky black dress, her hair in old-Hollywood waves. She talked beauty and fashion with Biel, who dazzled in a white beaded gown.
Orlando Bloom and his wife, model Miranda Kerr, charmed partygoers together, while model Agyness Deyn posed for iPhone photos with a friend.
Also enjoying the view from the patio: Actress Rose McGowan, "Modern Family" star Eric Stonestreet, director Sofia Coppola and Rodarte design duo Kate and Laura Mulleavy.
The pre-Globe festivities continue Saturday with various gift suites and galas.
The 69th annual Golden Globes will be presented Sunday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and broadcast live on NBC.

I bet you were thinking, if anyone still has leftovers from Christmas, they are slightly Nutty. We are not talking though about food here today.
Clear Cocktail Glasses up-cycled to a sparkling snow look with a spot of red paint and Rustic Jute Twine. Add little pretties in the bowl.
Wooden block Candle Holder and I did make the candle myself.
Tags or Ornaments. Can be used either way.
Popsicle Stick Frosty. After I had it out for awhile, I thought he had no scarf. The tutorial did not have it and I only realized it would be better with one until later.
Card Idea where I made them out of piles of envelopes I have more of than cards. I just wanted them for using as decorations.
Up-cycle dead light bulb with paint and Glitter. Add bow, vintage key and jute twine again.
Great ideas…all of them. I especially like the snowman and I think I must try the Christmas trees next year. A little late, but Happy 2018.
Yes, I ran out of time. Hopefully next year, but Pinterest gives you so many ideas.
I know…it’s a blessing and a curse at the same time. I need a gift certificate for more time!!!
Where can we get one? Sounds good.
I’m still eating leftover Halloween candy. Fortunately, I always buy chocolate candies so I don’t mind eating them.
Any way you take it it is fine.
Cute crafts! I work with disabled adults that love to don crafts!
Well. I am so blue after I made time to post today;It is so hard to work it in most of the time. Guess what: WordPress is in the rebel mood and photos cannot be edited and added. So I will come back to the draft I saved which would only let me do text as soon as possible. Bummer.
I thought it was just me. I have had trouble with many of my post lately in editing and uploads as well. Best of luck to you .
I am glad I am not alone and it is not on my side.
Thank you. At least WP does not have glitches as often as they did when I started.

FORT LEE, Va. -- Usually the heart of any home is the kitchen. It's where families gather to share stories, laughter and sometimes tears as they talk about their day. It's a place where warm meals uplift and provide comfort.
The Richmond Fisher House is truly a "home away from home" for families of service members and veterans receiving care at the Hunter Holmes McGuire Veterans Medical Center. The kitchen is the heart of the facility as family members gather to talk about their loved ones, share information on programs and grab a bite to eat in between trips to the hospital.
Most days, residents of the Fisher House must either rely on their own skills in the kitchen or get meals from local restaurants. But on a recent Saturday, Advanced Culinary Course students and instructors from the Joint Center of Culinary Excellence, Quartermaster School volunteered to prepare a brunch designed to nourish their bodies and spirits.
"We are truly grateful to have meals prepared for our residents," said Avila "Ave" Porter, Richmond Fisher House program assistant. "The cafeteria at the hospital is closed on the weekends so families either have to get fast food, bring something with them or get something out of the vending machines.
"The kitchen at the house is available for them to cook in, if they choose to, but many are so tired from caring for their loved ones that they just grab something quick," she explained. "And, not all the families have their own transportation. To have a delicious, nutritious meal prepared for them is something that really builds their morale."
The joint military service volunteer opportunity came about as an outreach project from the school.
"We wanted to get more involved with the community and stress to our students the need to give back," said Coast Guard Senior Chief Petty Officer Katrina Goguen, senior instructor. "The Fisher House mission provided an opportunity to help care for our military families and veterans while showcasing the training and professionalism of our food service specialists."
Because military members and their families are stationed around the world and sometimes must travel to reach specialized care, the Fisher House Foundation donates "comfort homes," which are built on the grounds of major military and Department of Veteran Affairs medical centers. These homes enable families to be close to their loved ones during their hospitalization.
After receiving a tour and briefing to better understand the facility and the residents, Chief Warrant Officer 4 Russell Campbell, Advanced Food Service Training Division chief, wanted to offer this as a volunteer opportunity to his students.
"There was a need here at the Fisher House that we thought we could help with," he said. "It's a great outreach mission as the skills the students use are in line with the training they are receiving. It also provides us with an opportunity to take care of our military family -- both active duty and veterans." The Advanced Culinary Course is an intense hands-on course designed to improve the overall skills of an experienced chef. The course focuses on knife skills, menu development, advanced baking techniques, buffet platter production and presentation, production of multiple course meals, effective purchasing techniques, advanced dessert preparation, table service and nutrition.
Planning and preparations for the outreach mission took place over several weeks. JCCoE personnel developed the menu and accompanied Fisher House personnel as they purchased the ingredients which would be used to create a variety of dishes.
As the six students and three instructors worked as a well-organized team preparing numerous dishes, the mood in the house was one of excitement and anticipation. Residents crowded around the kitchen to watch, ask questions and share stories about their loved ones receiving care in the hospital.
Brunch for the residents included: chicken marsala; roast pork with caramelized onion served on a bed of leeks; rosemary garlic roasted new potatoes; fettuccine alfredo with sautéed asparagus; and made-to-order omelets and crepes.
The Richmond house can provide a home for up to 21 families at any given time. "We stay full," said Porter, who has worked with the Fisher House program for seven years. "There is usually a waiting list for families of veterans. There is a process families go through to stay here; usually, our home is for families needing more of an extended stay. Residents stay with us a few days to a lot longer depending on need.
"The veterans need their families here with them - they are medicine for them," she said. Just as the brunch was a form of healing. "Many of our residents made plates to take to the hospital to share with their loved ones. There was a lot of excitement to try the different dishes."
Annually, the overall Fisher House program serves more than 12,000 families, and has made available over three million days of lodging since the program began in 1990. There is no charge for families to stay at a Fisher House operated by the VA; and the organization uses donations to reimburse the houses operated by the Army, Navy and Air Force.
Porter said the facility is a beautiful and comfortable place for families to stay, but noted there are needs beyond what they can provide.
"We're always looking for volunteers and have been very blessed to have some groups continually support the residents," she said. "The Blue Star Mothers, Daughters of the American Revolution, Richmond Red Cross and others routinely provide support, but there is always a need."
In appreciation for their hard work and dedication, Porter presented each of the military chefs with a Richmond Fisher House coin and encouraged them to come back.
"This is definitely a volunteer program we want to continue," Campbell said. "If we have enough volunteers in each class then we will schedule a time to come to the house and prepare a meal. We've already scheduled another outreach for the staff at our school."

Another vital aspect of the design process is to make the most of value trading. Value trading is the exercise of making design choices that add value and then “paying” for those items by altering or eliminating design elements that provide less benefit. This process improves the design and performance of the building while staying within budget.
team — increases their understanding of the operation of their custom building and develops ways to save energy costs. NPHS developed an innovative approach to save in hallway lighting, and River Crest Elementary developed new guidelines for IT that saved power and was adopted throughout the district.

Machining techniques are used broadly within the automotive business for manufacturing different car elements corresponding to outer physique sheets, inside elements, and windscreens. Fiat and Chrysler provide a better match in complementing each others cultures where each producers complement each other within the general product catalog; this was not too clear in the previous merger the place each automotive producers were engaged in a similar kind of business.
Car textiles, which are non apparel textiles, are widely utilized in vehicles like cars, trains, buses, aircraft and marine autos. Nonetheless, the latest market situations for the Australian Automotive Trade and the actions of the Australian Authorities have worsen the competitors situations and possible pricing choices accessible for companies out there.
In addition, sellers have traditionally determined not to order additional inventory as a result of, in the occasion that the vendor is unable to maneuver that stock within an affordable timeframe, there may be a higher value of managing and warehousing inventory.
Carnage of the automotive industry continues, with each passing week throwing in a bunch of unusual knock out news. While India is second largest producer of two- wheelers and largest of bikes, additionally it is estimated to become the 3rd largest vehicle market in the world by 2016 and will account for greater than 5% of global vehicle gross sales. Finally, elevated gas prices shifted shopper demand away from the extra worthwhile automobile traces -SUV’s and light trucks – to smaller, more gas environment friendly cars.
There are a selection of automobile leasing and car finance companies, corresponding to Pendle Car Contracts, that provide an vital and obligatory service to the trade. By 1903, Cadillac, Winston and Ford were all producing automobiles within the hundreds. In other phrases, this industry gives various providers to different industries the place transportation is extremely required and vehicles are utilized in giant numbers.
In a free market setting, extra capacity only ends in intensified competition for the “next sale.” To maintain their crops operating, the US automotive producers incurred incremental marketing expense by means of quite a lot of incentive programs.

The brewing community has been exploding over the last five years, and Minnesotans have been challenged to keep up. The Northern Ale Guide provides a pocket-sized guide to many of the state’s favorite breweries – listing each taproom’s location, hours of operation, and even a note from the brewers. Not to mention, it also provides an opportunity to collect a unique stamp and free beer at each taproom after your first purchase.
After its launch in 2016, featuring 35 MN taprooms, the Northern Ale Guide is back with even more opportunities for savings. This project was started by a group of students at the University of Minnesota to strengthen the community, with the intention of supporting both the beer-drinkers and the brewers of Minnesota.
Whether you enjoy collecting stamps, drinking craft beer on a budget, meeting new people, planning a road trip or you are just looking for a reason to check out a new brewery, this beer passport has something for everyone.
The 2017 Northern Ale Guide’s “buy-one-get-one beer” deal is valid through December 31st, 2017 at all featured breweries. Look to the Northern Ale Guide website for the full list of participating taprooms. Special offer: use the promo code “BEERPLOMA” at checkout for free shipping!
Founded by a group of students at the University of Minnesota, the Northern Ale Guide was created to help connect beer-enthusiasts with local taprooms to support the growth of the Minnesota brewing community. As beer-lovers and entrepreneurial students at the Carlson School of Management, a class project turned into a statewide initiative to bring Minnesotans and visitors to the source of their favorite brews and explore the best of what our great state has to offer.

My name is Sinnathamby Markandu. At the time, I was working as an Assistant Manager at the Indian Overseas Bank situated on Main Street Colombo. The incidents happened during those fateful days of July 1983 are still fresh in my memories. In hindsight, I was lucky because my family was in Jaffna at that time. I was staying at Slave-Island in the Saiva Munnetta Kazhagam building. Since I served as the Assistant Secretary of the Kazhagam, I had the privilege to stay there – a safer place located in a convenient and conducive environment with a Hindu temple, Ratna book stores, police station, bus stop, railway station all close by.
As usual, on Monday July 25th, I left for the bank. When traveling in the bus, I heard people talking about looting, burning and killings around the Colombo city. I also noticed that there was unusually few passengers on the bus and less traffic on the road. Since I heard the attack on the military convoy in Jaffna, I became restless and troubled. Since I also had experienced firsthand the anti-Tamil pogrom of 1958 and 1977, fear started to strike me. When I reached the bank, I heard the same story from the staff and customers who had come to the bank. Our bank was an Indian state owned and one of the leading banks in Sri Lanka at that time.
Around 11.30 am, there were rumours among the staff and customers that the violence erupted at Borella had spread to Maradana as well. By around 12 noon, we were able to see the smoke and fumes over the buildings in the Pettah area and along Norris Road. We realized what we heard in the morning was true. All the staff and the customers who were there in the bank were scared and got panicked. We were told that an angry mob was marching along the Gaswork Street and Main Street with sticks and bricks in their hands. We were horrified to see some shops in the Main Street were being attacked. Suddenly a mob of about 10 – 15 thugs entered our bank and ordered all the staff to leave the premises immediately. We were all in panic, running around to escape through the stairs. Finally the entire staff, except the 3 or 4 high ranking officials, managed to leave the bank. I remember that some Sinhalese staff gave protection to the high ranking officials who were still in the Bank. I saw people running screaming along the Main Street towards Sea Street and its surroundings. I, along with another good friend of mine who is in Canada now, walked towards St. Anthony's Church with the idea of taking shelter in the Church for a while. Suddenly it struck in my mind of our Deputy Manager, who is a Sri Lankan national of Indian origin. He is fluent in all three languages and lived near the Gintupitiya Hindu Temple. My friend and I decided to go to his house and stay there until his return from the bank. By the time we reached his house already, there were already 10 to 15 people from the Pettah area who had come there to take shelter. Later in the evening people known the Deputy Manager, started to come in. The Deputy Manager was gracious enough to accommodate all of them. Nearly 30 – 35 people stayed in that house for nearly two weeks.
On Tuesday, July 26th morning, we heard that our bank had been burnt down completely. Our deputy Manager rushed to see what had happened and the rest was shockingly sad news. There were several Indian establishments including the giant textile mills Hidramani were looted and burnt down. My friend and I stayed at the Deputy Manager’s house for 20 days as we were scared and reluctant to move out to a refugee camp. We witnessed and heard numerous horrific incidents during these days. We were looked after well. Pettah businesses people started providing food items to those who stayed in the house. The Bank Office being completely burnt down, the entire staff was left on the street. While we stayed there we heard that the riot was spreading in and around Colombo. Luckily not a single of our staff had lost his/her life in this riot.
As the Indian Overseas Bank was an (Indian) State owned, our security of service was guaranteed. The Management rented a new building in the Fort area and started functioning within 2 or 3 months. In Jaffna, my family continued to stay until the later part of 1983. In the following months after the riots subsided, the town of Jaffna started seeing the presence of security forces in large numbers and several security posts in and around the town. The people including young students also have started experiencing harassments and random arrests. The situation in the north, especially in Jaffna was very unstable and hence I decided to take my family to India during the latter part in 1983 mainly for my children's safety and education. It was blessing in disguise that I had worked for the Indian Financial Institution. I was able to get school admissions as well as housing accommodation through the Indian Overseas Bank Head Office in Chennai. I was lucky enough to get tremendous support from those people. After putting 38 years of service, I retired in 1990 and I am in the United Kingdom now.
For the third time in my life (the first during 1958, second during 1977 anti-Tamil pogrom), I had to face a horrifying experience. I recall all those terrible incidents that happened 25 years ago. The riots had left a deep wound in me. I still remember the protection our Sinhalese staff rendered to us during the difficult time. There are still many Sinhalese who feel that Tamils are being discriminated in their own country. Although I am far away from my country, my thoughts and heart are always with the unfortunate people who are leading a miserable life there.

Colchester is an historic market town in Essex and, with a population of about 125,000, one of the fastest-growing communities in the United Kingdom. Once the capital of Roman Britain, it has a claim to being the oldest town in the country. The ancient settlement of Camulodunon was destroyed during the famous rebellion of Boudica in AD61. It was rebuilt and may have inspired tales of King Arthur's Camelot. Colchester Castle survives from the 11th century, alongside stretches of the old Roman wall. Other visitor attractions include Colchester Zoo.

José de Jesús Sánchez del Río went to visit the tomb of a Cristero martyr in 1927, and asked God to let him also die in defense of the Catholic faith. Not even a year would go by before his wish was fulfilled. In February of 1928, he was assassinated for the cause of Christ. At his death, Joselito, as his family affectionately called him, was just over a month shy of his 15th birthday.
Pope Francis canonized the 14-year-old martyr on Oct. 16 in Rome, alongside six others.
The history of St. José Sanchez has some sad coincidences. For one, the church of St. James the Apostle in Sahuayo, where Joselito was baptized, became his prison.
Another sad parallel: His godfather for his First Communion (in Mexico, it is tradition to choose a godfather or sponsor for First Communion), Rafael Picazo Sanchez, was the one who ordered his assassination.
Witnesses in the cause for Jose’s canonization testified that he was a “normal, healthy kid with a joyful character,” as the postulator, Comboni Missionary Father Fidel González, told El Pueblo Católico.
“He went to his Catechism classes and was notable for his commitment to difficult parish activities (…) Though it put his life at risk since public worship was prohibited, he received the sacraments when he could. He prayed the holy rosary each day with his family. Despite being very young, José understood very well what Mexico was going through with the persecution,” Father González said.
Despite being just a boy, José joined the Cristeros, a movement trying to defend religious liberty in the country. He carried out simple tasks, such as helping with the logistics for those who were fighting the battle for the faith.
General Guizar Morfín managed to escape, but the federal troops captured José, taking him to the town of Cotija, beating and rebuking him along the way. “We’re going to see how much of a man you really are,” they told him.
Saint Jose Luis Sanchez del Rio depicted in a painting by Rene Martinez Valdez. The 14-year old martyr was canonized Oct. 16.
Picazo, his godfather, didn’t want to kill the boy and offered him various proposals so as to save his life. He offered to register him in a prestigious military school or send him to the United States, but the boy refused these temptations since in order to get them, he would have to deny his faith.
On Feb. 10, 1928, they transferred José to a building close to where he was being held and told his family that he would be shot. One of his aunts managed to bring him Communion.
“I am sentenced to death. At 8:30 p.m., the moment that I have desired so, so much will arrive. I thank you for all the kindnesses you’ve shown me, you and Magdalena,” he wrote to his aunt.
The soldiers tortured him by cutting the bottoms of his feet with a knife and forcing him to walk barefoot to his last resting place, the cemetery of Sahuayo.
“I didn’t hear laments; I only heard the resigned voice of José. I saw the footprints of blood from the soles of his feet at the gate called Arregui that is on the street that leads to the cemetery; at the inn they also tortured him. … They brought him to the cemetery where first he was stabbed and then they gave him the final blow in the head,” a witness of the martyrdom testified.
Once at the cemetery, José was stabbed by the soldiers. With each strike, he shouted, “Long live Christ the King! Long live Holy Mary of Guadalupe!” Then a military leader shot him twice in the head, put his lifeless body in a small grave and covered him with dirt. It was 11:30 p.m. on Feb. 10, 1928.
Along with José de Jesús Sánchez del Río, Pope Francis canonized another six saints of four nationalities on Sunday, Oct. 16.
She was born Elisabeth Catez in Avord, France. Her father died when she was only 7 years old. She had a refined spiritual and artistic sensitivity and was quite a jokester as well as an accomplished pianist. She had a friendly character and had many friends.
“She loved music, walking, and enjoying nature and the mountains,” Patricia Morrison, editorial director of ICS Publications and an expert on this saint, told El Pueblo Católico.
Elisabeth discovered her vocation to the contemplative religious life at a young age and wanted to join the Carmelites. She was unable to fulfill this desire, though, until she was 21, because she had to care for her mother who not only was a widow but also had various health problems.
Elisabeth understood that her religious cell was in her heart until she was able to join the Order of Carmel in 1901. Her superiors would later say that this waiting period had given her a great maturity and made her better prepared for the religious life.
“When I recommend prayer to you, this doesn’t mean taking on a list of vocal prayers to pray every day. I speak, rather, of a raising of the soul to God through all things …” she once wrote.
In 1903, she was diagnosed with Addison’s Disease (an endocrine disorder affecting the adrenal glands) and she died at age 26.
“It seems that I have found my heaven on earth, since heaven is God and God is in my soul. The day that I understood this, everything was illumined for me,” she wrote in the midst of her agony.
souls and for abnegation of himself. He was arrested Aug. 15, 1792, for refusing to take an oath to support the civil constitution of the clergy, which required them to separate themselves from the Church. Two weeks later, nearly all the prisoners were killed for their refusal to take the oath.
“Let us suffer with joy and gratitude for the crosses and affliction sent to us,” he wrote to his sister before dying.
Better known as “el cura Brochero” (el cura translates to “the priest”), Father Brochero was a diocesan priest of Argentina with tremendous missionary zeal. He tried to bring many people to an encounter with God through spiritual exercises. In this effort, he traveled long miles, riding a mule, sometimes despite intense cold or raging snowstorms. On certain occasions, as many as 500 people joined in these pilgrimages so as to have nine days of retreat according to the method of the spiritual exercises.
He eventually was left blind and died of leprosy, caught from the faithful he went to visit and to spiritually assist.
“Father Brochero has left us as a priest the testimony of a fully human and deeply religious and missionary path, in the context of his own history, style and culture,” according to Archbishop José María Arancedo of Santa Fe de la Vera Cruz, the president of Argentina’s bishops’ conference, in an article published at the web site of the Archdiocese of Cordoba, Argentina.
He was a priest of the Diocese of Salerno, in the south of Italy, and the founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint John the Baptist – also known as the Baptistine Sisters of Nazareth.
He was characterized by his zeal, his dedication to liturgy and for his diligence in administering the sacraments, especially confession, where he expressed his paternal love and understanding for the penitents.
He dedicated himself to evangelize with preaching that, while profound, was both simple and incisive. He also endured certain difficult tests: For example, he was falsely accused, which led his bishop to remove him from leadership of his institute. And some of the sisters of the community caused division with their defiance. He accepted these situations with sorrow, but also with a spirit of submission and obedience.
“Let’s become saints following Jesus closely … Daughters, if you live in poverty, in chastity and in obedience, you will shine as stars in the sky above,” he said to his religious daughters.
The congregation he founded is present in 17 nations on four continents, including Mexico. The nuns seek to live a spousal relationship with Jesus of Nazareth at the service of the most small and poor, and, like John the Baptist, to prepare the way of the Lord.
He was born in Brescia, in the north of Italy, to a family of the noble class. As a child he had “a pious spirt, concern for the needy, attention for poor children, a quick and sharp intelligence that brought him to face problems concretely and with common sense,” the current superior of the Pavoniani order he founded, Father Ricardo Pinilla, told El Pueblo Católico.
In 1847, he founded the Congregation of the Sons of Mary Immaculate, which came to be known as the “Pavoniani,” made up of religious priests who gave spiritual direction and sacraments, and religious brothers who coordinated the workshops and education of the children.
Father Pavoni died of bronchial pneumonia in 1849, after walking 7.5 miles in a torrential rain with a group of youth from Brescia to Saiano, fleeing the “10-Days” conflict between Austria and Brescia.
“We’ve always called that road the calvary of Saiano, where Ludovico Pavoni, who had lived for his youth, gave his life for them,” Father Pinilla said.
He was the bishop of the Spanish Dioceses of Malaga and later of Palencia. He was characterized by his great devotion to the Eucharist, and wrote several books on this topic.
In 1905 he was named the pastor of the church of St. Peter in the Huelva region, where he noted a great religious indifference. He thus began in 1910 the “Work for the Tabernacles-Calvaries,” to respond to the love of Christ in the Eucharist with a love of reparation.
He was named auxiliary bishop of Malaga in 1916, and four years later, titular bishop. He developed schools and catechesis and was often found preaching on the streets.
The religious persecution in Spain of the 1930s immediately brought problems and in 1931 his episcopal palace was burned down. From 1932 he began to direct his diocese from Madrid and in 1935 was named bishop of Palencia.

I think it’s time to update our blog with a brighter entry, don’t you think, because judging by the last three this space almost reads like a Death Blog. I only write when someone dies. I feel this somewhat defeats the whole purpose of happily communicating with readers.
I hope you enjoy my new website, it’s easy to navigate, is pleasing to the eye, and you can load it quickly on your mobile device like the glorious iPhone. Check out some of our new content, my Summer Garden video, and slideshows of my past tours. Perhaps some of you in Australia and New Zealand will spot yourselves!
I’m thrilled to continue my longstanding partnership with HarperCollins for the next five novels. One of the things we’ve worked on to accommodate my readers is an enhanced publishing schedule that will ensure a Paullina book once a year. And not just in Australia, New Zealand, and England, but globally, including the United States.
I know I’ve written elsewhere about the subject matter for the next book, indicating its lovelorn roots and its Bostonian/Ukrainian setting during the Great Depression and the Stalin purges. And believe me, that’s coming, and not in small doses either. But first, you are going to get a different book for your (I hope) enjoyment. I think it’s so delicious it requires its own (imminent) post.
Regarding news of Bronze Horseman film adaptation: I’m not being cagey, but we’re at the cusp of either moving forward or going in a different direction. I’m going to know more in the next few days. I know you’ve all been super (im)patient(!), please bear with me. No one would love a beautiful epic Tania and Shura film more than me.
Signing off for now, more very soon.
Tatiana And Alexander available in US on June 29!
We are very pleased to announce that the second book in The Bronze Horseman Trilogy – Tatiana And Alexander will be available in US bookstores on June 29!!!
Great news for fans in the United Kingdom and Ireland also with Paullina’s new novel A Song In the Daylight available in the UK and Ireland now!!!
And fantastically awesome news for fans world wide, the much anticipated movie adaptation of The Bronze Horseman is now listed on IMDB as being in development!!

A tranquil life, full of flair is what everyone wishes for. That’s because it brings out the best in us, calms our senses and even soothes our soul. Decorating your home using a room divider to enhance the Asian feel of your décor is no different. It adds tranquillity and stylishness to your entire home [and life]. Shoji screen room dividers make your interiors stand out while adding a lasting Asian feel to your décor. All you need is pick a style that suits your décor, and voila!
There’s no finer way to use an Asian style room divider as a focal point than standing it up against the wall, particularly if your home has a long wall. It breaks up the wall giving it an eye-catching look. You may want to add something in front of the room divider such big plants if you plan to use the space as a little conversation area or better, get a Cherry Tree Shoji Screen.
To add interest in a bare, squared off corner, use folding oriental room dividers or screens. You’ll be amazed at how the entire room transforms. You’ll have a beautiful looking room that’s not all squared off. Best of all, space behind the room divider can act as a storage area.
So you don’t have an attractive headboard. Don’t whine about it get an Asian style room divider instead and make your bed a focal point. If you are decorating your entire bedroom, a room divider will come in handy, as long as you use it while flat [not folded] and slide it right behind the bed. It’ll give your bedroom an attractive look.
According to Room Dividers UK based services, you can create a room within a room using a room divider. If, for instance, you have a long living room you can make it into two separate areas by plunking the room divider right in the middle to section it off. So if you lack a dining area, get a room divider and create one. Be creative while at it. It’s the least you can do to spice up your Asian-inspired home décor.

Songs from Westminster No. 1 "Our God Our Help in Ages Past"
This MIDI performance is a nice demonstration of what you can do with the Hauptwerk Free Edition. It is recorded with the polyphony limit set to 256 voices and the wind model turned off entirely, hence it reflects exaclty the restrictions of the Free Edition.

Regulators must help curb mounting student debt to reduce the risk of another financial crisis, Rohit Chopra, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s top official, recently said, American Banker reports.
The student debt situation resembles the housing market as it neared collapse on the eve of the financial crisis, American Banker noted. Among other parallels, the publication said, student debt has grown rapidly on the back of liberally administered government guarantees.
Given that wages have declined for graduates, students saddled with outsized loans will be less equipped to obtain mortgages to buy homes, a potential strain on the housing market, Chopra reportedly said.

Over the past decade I’ve become something of a Scrooge at heart, never rallying much enthusiasm for Christmas; Thanksgiving is my holiday. This year has been different.
I’ve been attempting to become a kinder, gentler person, one less critical of others and more willing to praise and to share and to enjoy the moment. This new attitude is already paying unexpected dividends: I’m happier than I have been in five years. Couple this new, improved attitude with a surfeit of cash and the result has been a holiday season in which I’ve actually enjoyed giving gifts, have looked forward to doing so. It has been easy to find things to give my family and friends.
It’s a Wonderful Life was one of my favorite films when I was in high school and college, but it’s been several years since I watched it. Kris and I snuggled up on the couch one night last week and watched it together. It was a wonderful. It felt as if I were watching the film for the first time.
Even the Roth family Christmas pleased me this year. We Roth boys see each other every day at Custom Box Service so that seeing each other for Christmas usually feels anticlimactic. But I enjoyed myself on Tuesday night, playing with Tony’s kids, eating pizza, burning the hot fudge, unwrapping Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan on DVD.
We spent a relaxing Christmas Day with Joel and Aimee. We lounged around the Christmas tree, reading, chatting, and playing Bohnanza and Dutch Blitz. Their cat, Nine, entertained us by throwing her superball around the room and stalking Hedgie, the hedgehog.
We had planned to prepare a lamb recipe from Caprial, but the lamb had turned green and blue. We improvised, adapting the recipe for chicken instead. The improvisation worked, thanks largely to the splendid wine-peppercorn sauce (for which we used a bottle of St. Josef’s Cabarnet Sauvignon (1987) that Jeremy and Jennifer had given us for Christmas).
Tonight, Kris and I will have dinner with Paul Carlile and, perhaps, catch another of those films we expect to be in Oscar contention.
Best in show from the gifts received department? Without question, the gift from my parents-in-law: the beautiful, information-packed Atlas of Oregon. Wow!

Margot Robbie plays slain film actress Sharon Tate in the new Quentin Tarantino movie Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, which will be released in July.
This comes just after Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio were posed in front of a yellow vintage car with the Hollywood sign in the background for their poster.
The Oscar-nominated actress shared the poster on her social media accounts.
'Hollywood. 1969,' she wrote along with an image that shows Robbie's Tate standing in front of the iconic Fox Village Theater (now the Regency Village Theater).
Tate was killed in 1969 at the age of 26 while pregnant.
Brad and Leo were also in character for their poster.
Leonardo, 44, rocked a brown leather jacket with darker hued trousers, while looking into the horizon with a stern look on his face.
Meanwhile, Brad rocked dark wash denim bottoms with a graphic T-shirt that read 'champion', adding a bright yellow printed open button up.
He sported a clean shaven face and his longer locks combed away from his forehead.
The Tarantino movie is a mystery crime film set in 1969 in Los Angeles and centered around the Charles Manson murders, as well as a television actor and his stunt double.
Leo plays TV star, Rick Dalton, who plays a character in a Western series, while Pitt takes on the role of his longtime stunt double Cliff Booth as they make their way around an industry they hardly recognise anymore.
Dalton tries to transition to film roles but is struggling to do so. He is also the neighbor of movie star Sharon Tate.
Other stars in the film are: Margot Robbie, Al Pacino, Emile Hirsch, Damian Lewis, Bruce Dern, Dakota Fanning, Austin Butler, Lena Dunham and Margaret Qualley.
This is also the last film to feature Luke Perry; he died at age 52 on March 4, 2019 after suffering a massive stroke on February 27.
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood will hit US theaters on July 26 and is set for a UK release on August 14.

The red deer ranges from Europe to Northeast Asia, its appearance changing gradually, until, from Central Asia eastward, it becomes quite similar to the North American wapiti (Figure 1). The race or subspecies found in the Crimea, the Caucasus, Turkey, and Iran is generally designated Cervus elaphus maral. The name marāl is Turkish and is applied not only to this subspecies but especially to the larger races referred to above.
The Iranian red deer is bigger than the European race, an adult stag reaching a height of approximately 140 cm at the shoulder and a weight of 250 kg. It is also distinguished from the European deer by almost invariably possessing two brow tines, rather than one, for each antler. Otherwise the two races are very much alike. It is of a dark gray color except during the summer, when the pelage becomes a rufous dark brown. The fawns are reddish brown with white spots.
In Iran the marāl once ranged throughout the forested areas of the northern slopes of the Alborz and in the oak forests on the western slopes of the Zagros extending from Azerbaijan into western Fārs. It has disappeared completely from the Zagros range; the last survivors were recorded as being in the Arsbārān region of Azerbaijan about 50 years ago. In the western Caspian region too, it has either been eliminated or become extremely scarce; and it is now found in the more remote central and eastern Alborz wooded areas, primarily in a number of reserves in these regions which contain relatively pristine forests.
In the past the red deer occurred literally from the shores of the Caspian Sea to the high alpine meadows of the Alborz mountains. In fact, in the early 1950s hunters would often penetrate portions of the scrub forests of the Gorgān plain in four-wheel drive vehicles at night to shoot the deer, only descending to collect any animal killed. All the littoral forests, with one or two small exceptions, have now been eliminated and replaced by cultivation, orchards, and habitation. Owing to an absence of control, large areas of the mountain forests too have been destroyed or almost irreversibly damaged in the past quarter century. Thus from year to year the habitat of the mārāl is becoming more and more confined.
Marāl favor oak forests. Herbaceous plants, shrubs, and trees appear to be of equal importance as sources of food. They will also eat fruits and berries in the summer, while acorns are particularly favored in autumn and winter. They are social animals—when not threatened— their gregariousness being more prevalent during the colder seasons.
The rut usually commences at the end of summer in Iran and is manifested by the roaring (bellowing) of the mature stags. The onset of the rut and degree of roaring are predicated on weather conditions; thus a drop in temperature will activate the males, whereas warmer weather will reduce it. Further, the intensity of the roaring is usually in inverse proportion to the size of the harem and to the degree of threat sensed by the stags; hence they may be silent in one area, whilst in a nearby reserve full-throated roaring is heard. At this time adult stags will engage in fights for the possession of their harems. These are quite serious on occasion, even terminating in the death of one of the antagonists.
Gestation lasts between 240-250 days, and thus the fawns are generally born towards the end of May to mid-June. Females give birth in densely vegetated and secluded spots, and almost always to a single fawn. According to most sources twins occur only once or twice in 100 births.
The fawn is spotted and manages to stand after one or two hours, but only shakily, and during the first two or three days lies down almost all the time, standing only to suckle. Fawns follow their mothers after about a week and are able to run and jump almost as well as adult deer less than a month later. They chew the cud shortly after they begin to graze in July. However, suckling continues until the rut and frequently into the winter months.
The first set of antlers that the young male acquires is usually devoid of tines; these antlers are called spikes. Hereafter, marāl shed their antlers at the end of each winter, and new antlers begin to grow within days. These are sheathed in a soft, hairy skin, called velvet, and are fully formed by late June to mid-July. Thereafter they become ossified, the velvet is shed over a period of ten to twenty days, and the formation of the antlers is completed in early September, just before the commencement of the rut.
The number of tines increases in subsequent years—but without any correspondence to the stag’s age—and the antlers grow heavier and more imposing. Maximum antler development is generally attained between the ages of nine and twelve or thirteen years. Thereafter the antlers decline in the number of tines, size, and weight. Among the antlers measured during the past 40 years, the longest were 120 cm, the greatest number of tines was 22, and the heaviest pair were about 12 kg.
In Iran, as in other countries, the hunting of the red deer has many devotees—too many, indeed, in relation to the diminished number of this fine beast. Since older times a favorite method of bagging a stag has been to imitate its call during the rut and thus entice it to approach. Once upon a time this method might have produced unexpected consequences, for it could well tempt a tiger to respond, as the marāl was its favorite prey!
The leopard and, to a lesser extent, the wolf and the brown bear are the marāl’s main predators; but the toll taken by these beasts nowadays is quite minimal when compared with man’s depredations. In the absence of adequate control, poachers (or hunters) shoot anything before their guns—fawns, stags, or (pregnant) hinds. If this is remorseless and destructive, the clearing and destruction of their habitat, the forests, is no doubt much worse. In fact, the very survival of the marāl obviously hinges on the maintenance and protection of sufficiently large areas of undisturbed and pristine forests.

As the red deer is a forest-dwelling species, not many Persians of the plateau are familiar with this animal or, on occasion, even aware of its existence. Judging from the perspective of Persian art, this appears to have been particularly the case throughout the Islamic era— despite the fact that extensive areas, chiefly in western and northern Iran (but outside the plateau area), were covered by prime hardwood forests during most of this period.
Thus the stag (unlike the ibex and mouflon) is very rarely seen in Persian ceramics, metalwork, carpets, etc., of the Islamic era. In the paintings of Safavid times, which show a multitude of identifiable wild animals, deer are depicted perhaps less than half a dozen times. Yet, when alluding to Greek art, Ghirshman states that “the stag was an animal motif that originated in the East” (Ghirshman, 1964, p. 334). It is in fact depicted repeatedly, with distinction and originality, in many of the more ancient cultures of Iran, which arose in the northern and western regions of the country. This is especially true with the art of Amlash (9th–8th century BCE), in the mountainous region southwest of the Caspian Sea, and that of Luristan (8th–7th century BCE) in the Zagros range. In Central Asia the Scythians, nomads of Iranian origin, whose royal tombs have become famous, produced beautiful objects, among them some in the shape of stags. A variety of objects from the Achaemenid and Sasanian eras also show representations of the marāl stag.
The small bronze stag figures from Amlash are admirable productions, their antlers often abounding with haphazardly placed tines (ibid., p. 36). A grazing stag, represented on a bronze cup from Luristan, is an unusually realistic work (ibid., p. 334). A Luristan horse bit is composed of winged does on either side of a rigid crossbar suckling their fawns, but nevertheless bearing highly stylized antlers (ibid., p. 61). A Sasanian ewer, showing in full a beautifully modeled strutting stag on either side, is a sumptuous work in bronze and silver (7th century CE; Ghirshman, 1962, p. 202).
The earliest record [this author] found in the Islamic period of a representation of a red deer stag is a polychromed and carved ceramic plate from the Rey-Kāšān region (Survey of Persian Art, p. 604, showing an alarmed-looking stag and ascribed to the 11th century. In this, as in a painting of what came to be called Shiraz school and produced much later (ca. 1420 CE) for Prince Bāysonḡor, depicting a stag near Majnun in the desert (ibid., p. 863), it is clear from the awkwardly shaped antlers (whose tines point both forward and back), that neither artist was really familiar with this animal, the stag, being felled by the sword of a huntsman (p. 894). There is also a papier maché, lacquer painted bookbinding of the 16th century, illustrating a number of different animals as well as what is perhaps the most authentic looking stag, even though its antlers are once again rendered incorrectly (ibid., p. 974).
Finally, sculpted steel animals, characteristically with gold inlay or encrustation, have been produced in Iran since the Safavid era, and have endured as a popular form of contemporary metalwork into the 20th century. Very attractive deer figurines are to be seen among these. What kind of deer, however, is best not asked.

Tasha Hotch, Mountain View Community Council vice president and community advocate, April 4, 2018.
Mountain View resident Tasha Hotch rarely slows down. She’s the vice president of the Mountain View Community Council; wrapping up her MBA; involved for years with tribal politics. She works full-time administering a statewide community health aide program, volunteers for school and community causes and raises her teenage son. In 2018, the Alaska Journal of Commerce recognized her as one of Alaska’s Top 40 Under 40 — a distinction awarded for professional excellence and commitment to community. What drives her to make a difference in her neighborhood? We sat down for a conversation about leadership, empowerment and how to overcome some of the challenges facing our community today.
How did you first come to live in Mountain View?
“I moved to Anchorage in 1999, in May right after school got out. I was attending UAS (University of Alaska Southeast) in Juneau … so I bought a $500 car and put it on the ferry. It was a super junkie car; had a hole in the gas tank so you couldn’t even fill up the gas tank all the way, and you started it with a screwdriver. I spent $200 on new tires and I drove it here. No radio, and that was probably the worst thing — I did this 18 hour drive straight through with no radio. Not recommended.
At that time, my mom and my sisters already lived in Anchorage. My mom owned a building in Mountain View on Klevin — she actually owned quite a few properties — so I moved into a 10-plex that she owned. I still had to pay rent, so it wasn’t charity, but it was nice not to have to go through a formal application process. That’s how I ended up in Mountain View.
At what point did you start getting involved with community issues and organizations, and what motivated you to take that step?
“I’ve always been really involved with community stuff. There was a point in time where I was trying to do that while I was trying to work two or three minimum wage jobs at a time — that made it challenging to do some things. Once I cut my jobs down to two, I looked into how to volunteer in schools, and really the first thing that I did in the neighborhood was volunteer at the Boys and Girls Club when my son was 3.
I loved the neighborhood, but I saw these kids without a lot of structure and not enough people to actually check in with them and how they’re doing. So I volunteered to show up and just be that other person.
And then just organizing neighborhood things: That’s something that I was really missing from back home (in Klukwan). So I started doing my neighborhood barbecues: In 2016, we had over 250 people come through our barbecue from the neighborhood. The year before that, it was closer to 200. I go all out — I have tug-of-war, I have gunny sack races, I do three-legged races, we do water balloon toss, we have a tetherball, we have an actual picnic table and chairs.
What long-term benefits do you see to this kind of involvement in your neighborhood?
inappropriate activity. I saw people selling drugs, prostitution; I would call it in and I would approach people who were lingering there. Feeling like this is my neighborhood and that’s not acceptable behavior, it was really important to me.
It’s reclaiming the neighborhood — residents feeling empowered to do stuff. When I first started trying to support community events, and just knocking on people’s doors, I felt like people didn’t want to open their doors because they weren’t sure who was on the other side. And I think the more that I do that and the more that I’m there … we don’t need to be afraid of our neighbors.
Because I love it there.
What do you see now as the largest challenges facing the neighborhood?
What advice would you give a neighbor looking to get involved in local politics or neighborhood leadership?
different venues for that. I think we have a number of great professional associations in town that help.
Really, getting out of the house and doing stuff, volunteering.
What inspires you to put so much time back into your community, and where do you hope to see your community in five years?
“Part of it, for me, is that I feel like there are barriers to people like me: you’re a single parent, you’re a minority, you’re a woman. Even though people tell me that I can do anything I want or achieve anything, it really feels like that is not the case. So that’s what drives me. I don’t want my son to feel bad that he was raised by a single parent. I don’t want people to look down on him for that. I don’t want to feel like I could have done better if only I had applied myself.
It might be doing more in the community, it might be doing more for themselves, it could be doing more with their family.

The operative word here is expect, or better stated, expectation.
Most of us are conditioned to respond to others based on how we expect them to conduct themselves.
When you hear excuse me, or thank you the other person has the reasonable expectation that you will graciously acknowledge the gesture.
Generally my guess is if your day is going well, you just let it go, thinking to yourself what a jerk.
You may even decide that possibly the person is just having a bad day, and, for that reason, let it go.
Of course if your day is not going well, then you may call the person out for their poor manners. My experience is that generally never works out very well, and makes everything worse.
Your intuition is realized; the person is a jerk.
They become indignant, an argument ensues, and now you have two problems. One of them is then just trying to get away from the person.
So then what is a person to do in these situations? What do you do when you are sitting in traffic and the person behind you has music blaring and thumping with vulgarities?
Think about this for a few minutes. How often do these kinds of things happen? They happen all of the time.
Another example is you hire someone to do something and pay them, only to find out they do not do what they say. At the end of it, you are left having to pay someone else to have it done right.
Now you know you have been taken, and you can always call a lawyer to pursue it in court. Well good luck with that.
Expect the lawyer to also take your money, not return phone calls, and then at some point tell you if you do this or that, for some more money, he/she will continue to work on it.
So, what do you do? The answer is at the end of it all, you just put up with it. You rationalize it is better to cut your losses and make excuses for the other person.
It is the reason most people no longer vote, why theft and fraud are common, elected officials can treat you like you owe them something, and people no longer go to public meetings.
Political correctness is out of control. We have compromised to the point that it is now ridiculous what passes for acceptable and not acceptable.
People that lie, steal, are rude, and do not do what they are paid to do should not be tolerated.
We now live in a society where it has become the norm that they are.
Those most practiced in confidence games and manipulations hold the advantage and use the so-called legal system to get away with it.
It has become cliché to say that we live in a country of laws. Saying this paints the picture of justice.
Ask most people and they will tell you the court system has little to do with justice and much more to do with money.
Personally, I have no faith in it, do not trust most involved with it, and do not see it getting better anytime soon.
Maybe it would be better if we did away with 75 percent of the laws and replaced them by enforcing good manners.
Expect people to answer your questions, turn down their radios and do the job they are paid for.
Thank you for reading this, and I will not apologize for people that will not say excuse me, they are jerks.
Much of it could probably be fixed with a swift kick in the pants, and no they do not get an appeal.

When Jesus came into the world, the Light began illuminating the dark corners, exposing every evil.
Can you remember a time when you felt that God protected you with supernatural guidance? Compare the protection the baby Jesus with what you may expect.
I have been planning my Thanksgiving Day prayer. In preparing it in advance, I have a chance to think about the true meaning of each of my God-given blessings. Today, I am grateful for friends.
Most of us, if not at every meal, offer words of thanksgiving when all the family is gathered for a holiday meal. Besides being thankful for the loved ones gathered there, what is on your list of God-given blessings?
"Nobody gets to live life backward. Look ahead; that is where your future lies." It is a humorous visual. Who would want to live life backwards? Yet, we get caught up in thinking more about the past than we do the future.

May 29, 2003 . The specific energy consumption can be reduced considerably by matching the grinding media size to the comminution problem. In a product particle size range down to 1 μm, the comminution behaviour of stirred media mills can essentially be described by the parameters specific energy Em, stress.
The terms milling, size reduction, comminution, grinding and pulverization are often used interchangeably. Milling is a unit operation where mechanical energy is applied to physically break down coarse particles to finer ones and hence, is regarded as a “top–down” approach in the production of fine particles .
The mechanics of the jet mill remove the need for any grinding media, which could negatively impact the formulation. In-Process Particle Size Analysis. Operational parameters are monitored throughout the particle size reduction process to help adjust and improve the milling or micronization parameters. In-process samples.

Despite coming off of Meek Mill's Dreamchasers 3 mixtape, the video for its "I'm Leanin'" comes across as a freaky, black light-lit nightmare in the club.
Milly is especially aggro in the video, bugging out his eyes every time the camera comes near him. Joining him at the party is Travi$ Scott, who spits his verse with a beastly pitch-shifted double vocal, and someone in a creepy animal mask. They puff strong, pour Ciroc and Monster energy drinks, munch on money, and just plain bug out over the course of the video.
You can check out the unnerving results down below.
