On Thursday 24 August, Amazon quietly enabled a self-service tool which allows YouTube personalities to apply for access to their affiliate platform. As an expansion of the existing Amazon Associates Programme, the Influencer Programme puts video content moguls through a rigorous vetting process before granting access to a range of tools and settings making product promotion easier and more profitable for influencers.
Among the many factors considered during the application process, Amazon requests information such as online following size, fan engagement figures and content quality elements. To maintain the integrity of the platform, Amazon are taking no prisoners, with only those YouTubers who can prove their worth making it onto the platform.
Those making the grade will be provided with access to tools which make linking to products and promoting items much easier to incorporate into video descriptions and social media posts.
The Associate Programme had been operating in closed beta for a while, with social media influencers able to apply via an online form to use it, but the introduction of the Influencer Programme signals that the retail giant is fully embracing the power of influencers, with resources for non-YouTube personalities due to be added soon.
Whilst Amazon has plans to expand the new Influencer Programme beyond YouTube, the choice to expand into video content shows just how powerful the platform is when it comes to selling and promotions – with 20%* of YouTube users watching unboxing videos and 50%* of consumers relying on YouTube content to inform their purchasing decisions. *(ThinkWithGoogle)Well-known YouTube names have already signed up to the Influencer Programme to further their reach and add value to their channels, including Felicia Day, of Supernatural and Geek&Sundry fame. Also making the most of the new tool is live programming entrepreneur Mark Cuban and the US-based WhatsupMOMS parenting advice channel, who took advantage of the tools offered through the Amazon Affiliates Programme, which include a short, memorable vanity URL and a personalised recommendations page.
The power of influencer marketing is taking over all industries – and a market leader such as Amazon choosing to invest in the growing trend is proof that this is one digital marketing channel which brands cannot afford to ignore. | 2019-04-25T09:50:15 | https://influencerchampions.com/blog/amazon-expands-influencer-industry |

I have to admit – I’m a huge breakfast person. But this Friday, waking up late for my 10 meant that I had to skip the most important meal of the day. Stomach grumbling, I made it through the end of my 11 and a meeting with just one thought keeping me going – eating The Box for lunch.
For those who have been away from campus or buried away in the stacks for a while, The Box is Dartmouth’s first food truck, founded by Tuck students, a non-DDS option for hungry students. Due to my meal-planning ineptitude, I was ready to try everything The Box had to offer by the time lunchtime rolled around. Luckily, the options were good and I grabbed a sandwich, side and dessert before settling down on a nearby bench and enjoying a rare burst of Hanover sunshine.
My first and only experience with falafel prior to this meal was during my foreign study program last term, when our group stopped by a well-known stand in Paris before proceeding to walk to the nearest metro station. In that short time, I managed to leave a messy trail of morsels from my falafel concoction down the sidewalks of the City of Lights. Classy, I know.
This time was no different – I proceeded to get those “mixed greens” all over my bench and self, desperately digging through my backpack for a spare napkin I had luckily stashed in there earlier in the term for emergencies like this. Despite my consumption struggles, I definitely enjoyed the sandwich. The salsa added a nice tangy flavor that blended well with the rest of the ingredients. The pita bread is also advertised as being made fresh every morning, which definitely added to the experience. Just don’t attempt to eat it gracefully on a date or something.
The granola was exciting because in my opinion, the nutty mixes tend to be pretty hit-or-miss. In this case, The Box’s was a definite hit – not only could I eat chocolate and still pretend to be healthy, but it had just the right balance of sweetness and saltiness with the nuts added in. If you need a quick snack that gives you energy and tastes delicious, this is a great option.
Sadly, The Box was out of their raved-about salted chocolate chip and oat cookie by the time I got there, so I opted for the other dessert option instead. The truffle had bits of date in it and tasted a bit nutty. It was slightly bitter, so I’d recommend it if you want a dessert that’s not too sweet. Next time I may try to get there earlier for the cookie, though.
Overall, I would definitely recommend giving The Box a try at least once this term, though any more than that may put a bit of a dent in your wallet. I personally tend to have leftover DBA at the end of the term, so it’s hard to justify putting down 12 dollars for (an albeit delicious) lunch. I would also love to see more variety in the future — being able to customize your meal with a sandwich, salad or grain bowl is nice but having only three meal options to create them with caters toward limited palates. Still, The Box offers a nice alternative on Tuck Drive for when you just can’t stand another grim Novack lunch while doing work for your 2. | 2019-04-25T20:41:43 | https://www.thedartmouth.com/blog/dartbeat/2014/05/dartbeat-reviews-the-box |

Responding to every bit of Russian propaganda "is counterproductive, because it is reactive and you are always behind the curve,” Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Benjamin Ziff tells senators in Washington, Nov. 3, 2015.
When a Russian news outlet edited the U.S. ambassador into a picture of an opposition rally, the U.S. Embassy countered by editing the ambassador into a series of improbable photos — for instance, on the moon and at an ice hockey rink.
The idea was to show that the original photo was propaganda, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Benjamin Ziff told a Senate subcommittee in Washington on Tuesday.
The ploy worked. “This tweet was retweeted extensively within Russia,” he said.
Modern Russian propaganda is no longer concerned with censorship. Rather, it is widespread and prolific, filling up the media space to such an extent that people sometimes can’t tell what is right and what is not.
Ziff said the Russians have “a sophisticated $1.4 billion-a-year propaganda apparatus.” They claim to reach 600 million people across 130 countries.
“It’s skillful, it’s flexible and it’s adapted to the geography of the audience,” said Leon Aron, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a public policy research group, and a member of the Broadcasting Board of Governors that oversees VOA.
The impact of all that Russian disinformation on Western democracies “appears paltry,” Aron testified, adding that the main reason is a highly competitive media environment that exposes people to a wide range of facts and interpretations.
Here, Aron said, “the weaponization of information occurs” when it provokes strong negative emotions leading to hatred and worse.
Both Aron and Ziff told the Foreign Relations Committee's subcommittee on Europe and regional security cooperation that the answer is to empower local communities to develop a rich and uncensored media environment.
Aron gave an example, citing a report aired on Russia’s most widely watched television channel. A terrified woman identified as a refugee from the territory controlled by the Ukrainian government said she witnessed Ukrainian soldiers publicly executing the wife and son of a pro-Russian separatist: "The child was crucified on a bulletin board in the center of the city, while the woman was allegedly dragged behind a tank until she was dead."
“Complete fake,” said Aron, and it was exposed by the website stopfake.org, run by alumni and students of the Mohyla School of Journalism in Kyiv. Students tracked down the woman’s family. She had done the interview for money after her husband joined the pro-Russian separatists, leaving her with no means of support.
“If there is one key theme that runs through the Kremlin’s thinking, it’s cynicism,” testified book author Peter Pomerantsev of the Legatum Institute, a public policy think tank. It is a cynicism, he added, that makes no distinction between democracies and authoritarian regimes, between truth and lies.
“So it doesn’t matter if Vladimir Putin says one day there are no Russian soldiers in the Crimea and a few weeks later says, yes, there are, because what they are saying is there is no value to the idea of truth,” he said. | 2019-04-21T05:56:38 | https://www.voanews.com/a/russian-propaganda-weaponization-information/3036087.html |
When Vincent was found abandoned as a kitten, he had no hind legs below what would be considered his shinbones. But thanks to the kindness of strangers, some titanium implants and the skills of a veterinary orthopedic surgeon, Vincent can now walk on all fours ... albeit not with the grace of a normal feline.
Vincent was found in a campground and eventually ended up in an animal shelter in Iowa. Cindy Jones, a volunteer at the shelter, brought him to Iowa State University's Lloyd Veterinary Medical Center, where Dr. Mary Sarah Bergh initially tried physical therapy to help the cat learn to cope without the use of his back legs. Realizing that wasn't working, she decided that surgically implanting prosthetic legs was the next-best option.
Only a couple of dozen such surgeries have been done on animals to date, so Dr. Bergh and her team had little information to go by regarding what to expect in rehab. The surgery itself involved implanting a titanium alloy prosthetic into the femur bone of each leg, allowing the skin to grow around it.
The implants are designed to allow Vincent's bone to grow onto the titanium shafts to support his weight. The shaft is also exposed to the environment, however, which means Vincent is at constant risk of infection. Both cat and owner have learned to deal with this challenge, partially through twice-daily applications of an antibiotic spray.
Vincent's first surgery was in 2014 and a second was in February of this year, with subsequent procedures gradually lengthening his prosthetic legs. Dr. Bergh said that the latter simply involves sliding a longer attachment onto the implanted post, so no anesthesia is necessary. Starting with a short leg and transitioning to a longer one has allowed Vincent to build muscle and bone strength, in order to tolerate the extra forces that come with having the longer limbs.
All surgeries and treatments were done at ISU with the custom-designed titanium-alloy prostheses donated by BioMedtrix, a company that specializes in hip and joint replacement products for a variety of animals. The costs of the surgery and treatment have been paid for by Vincent's owners, the Jones family.
No one is sure how Vincent's back legs ended up the way they were, but Dr. Bergh said his case may help make implants a more practical solution in the future for animals in similar situations.
Late last year, a veterinarian caring for a dog with deformed front legs and no paws used 3D printing to create strap-on prosthetics that allowed the animal to be able to run and walk more normally.
For the time being, Vincent remains with the Jones family and is evidently doing his best to live the life of a normal cat – titanium legs and all.

With a new school year just around the bend, it’s time for the 2014 edition of Paleo Lunchboxes—my annual collaboration with our friends at LunchBots. And this time around, I’m presenting 7—that’s right, SEVEN—new ideas to jumpstart your creative engines.
These lunchbox ideas are great for your school-age spawn, but trust me: the meals in this series aren’t just kid stuff. In fact, this first one’s a fast and satisfying lunch you can eat with your bare hands. Plus: we’re talking HOT DOGS.
Fine. They’re not technically “Paleo™,” but I’ve got nothing against convenience foods that are made from wholesome, healthy ingredients. Most hot dogs on the market are filled with all sorts of chemical additives and cast-off CAFO animal parts—we should all avoid these freaky franken-weenies like the plague. There are, however, other options.
Hot dogs have always been a kid-friendly favorite, but I recently hopped onto the bandwagon in a big way after discovering Flame to Fork’s game-changing idea to use the wiener as the “bun” (a.k.a. #hotdogasthebun) on Instagram.
Since then, I’ve been playing around with different fillings every time I make hot dogs for the kids. (The best thing about using the wiener as the “shell”? Sneaking extra veggies into your kiddos’ bellies!) Unlike hot dogs on bread buns, you can assemble ’em the night before; they won’t get soggy, and they taste great cold. Or maybe I’m just a weirdo for loving cold hot dogs.
Personally, I like hot dogs piled high with sautéed peppers and onions or kraut and pickles, so for this lunchbox, I made both. Properly cooked onions take a while to sauté, so I always start them in the skillet over medium heat with my favorite cooking fat before I do anything else.
Once the onions are translucent (about 15 minutes), add julienned bell peppers to the skillet, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cook until the peppers are pliable, and then dish the sautéed veggies onto a platter. Don’t forget to wipe out your cast iron skillet.
Next, prepare your hotdogs by slicing them in half lengthwise, making sure that you don’t cut all the way through.
Add a little dollop of cooking fat into the hot skillet and sear the dogs cut-side down until golden-brown (~3 minutes) and flip them over to cook the other side (~2 minutes). When your wieners are nice and toasty (heh heh), stuff them with your veggie fillings.
Don’t want to go to the trouble of sautéing peppers and onions? Simply fill your hot dogs with your favorite sauerkraut and pickles.
Once the hotdogs are cool, you can nestle each one on a leaf of romaine lettuce so that they’re less messy to eat by hand.
…and some fruits and blanched veggies, and you’re good to go!

When it comes to a bad tenancy, there’s one slogan we use over and over again – bad tenants are not like fine wine, they don’t get better with age. When you have a bad tenant in your property, in most cases the best thing to do is to pull the band-aid off immediately and move on. Typically, a bad tenant is not going to get better, and enabling a bad tenant is only going to make the situation worse. When you have someone who is not complying with the fundamental rules of a lease, they’re not paying rent on time or they’re doing damage to the property, you really do need to take immediate steps to reconcile the situation.
Many homes are located in neighborhoods and residential areas. A bad tenant will cause more problems than simple property or financial damage. They can rip apart the fabric of a neighborhood, especially if violations are apparent from the outside of a building. Bad tenancy can leave a bitter pill with neighbors, Association Board members, vendors, and others when the tenancy turns south. In most cases, filing an immediate eviction after the first unsuccessful warning is the best solution. When you evict a tenant, there are a number of things have to be done, and you have to do them in the right order. The first is, if you are an independent landlord, call an attorney who is experienced in the eviction process. The key is to find one with experience and can support the eviction in the county where the property resides.
You should first send out a notice to terminate and vacate (i.e. pay or quit), and you can follow that up with a filing from the court if they do not immediately comply. The court basically will have you fill out a form called an Unlawful Detainer. You have effectively notified the tenant of the violation, you have asked them to leave by a certain date, but they are now remaining in the property unlawfully. That’s why it’s called an Unlawful Detainer. Once you file that with the court, you have to do process service. A third party can do this, or the sheriff can deliver it the eviction court summons. Using the Sheriff might take an extra week or so as it goes out on their route schedule. With a private process server, you can sometimes get it served the same day you file it. Court dates typically factor in the minimum notification period, which is seven days in Minnesota for process service. There has to be proof of service as well, and the third party will have to fill out an Affidavit of service, and return it to the landlord (or court). Sometimes the court administrators will add a week or two when scheduling a court date, because they know the sheriff’s schedule can be backlogged. By using your own private process server, you may be able to scrape off a week or two and can ask for an accelerated court hearing date.
Once the notice has been provided to the tenant and the process service certification (Affidavit) form has been filled out and returned to the court, you just wait for your court date. It would be prudent as a landlord to go in and address any damages or make sure they aren’t getting out of hand. If there’s a water leak or something like that, you have the right to get inside and contain it as it is an emergency service.
When you get to your court date, if the tenant is still remaining in the property, you have to go in and tell the judge what’s going on. In many cases, you’ll need to produce a copy of the lease and any other documentation that proves the tenant has violated the lease. A material violation of the lease is usually required to evict. That’s a nonpayment or anything that is of such significance that a judge would order an eviction of the tenant for noncompliance. So, if the tenant is using drugs in the property, that’s an obvious noncompliance. It would be considered material. If the tenant is simply not mowing the lawn on a regular basis, that may not be found as a material violation of the lease. So, be careful what you’re evicting for and make sure you have proper cause.
It is also a good idea to put multiple complaints on the same eviction complaint. So if there’s a nonpayment as well as property damage, put them all on there so you can paint the clearest picture to the Judge. Some of the reasons that people evict are pretty interesting. In one property, we had a handyman working and he noticed a lot of cackling birds. There weren’t any birds outside, but there were about 37 parrots inside the property. The tenant was running an unlicensed bird shelter for wayward parrots (which live to over 100 years, and outlive their owners on a regular basis). That was a violation of the lease and it violated local ordinances as well. So both of those complaints; the lease violation and city ordinance violation, were on the eviction compliant. This made it impossible for the tenant to try and fight any lapses in the pet agreement that may have existed, because now they also were show in violation of city law. Therefore, in this case, by putting all of the complaints and violations in the eviction complaint, there is a stronger case against the tenant, and the tenant in turn has a much less defendable case in court.
One of two things will happen – either you’ll get possession back or you won’t. It’s not about damages or judgment. You might get a judgment for lost rent if they didn’t pay, but the judge won’t award damages in housing court. So, don’t expect to provide a list of costs and expenses that you want reimbursement for. This is for possession. Once you have possession, you can aggregate the lost rent and damages and then put them in a general complaint for conciliation court.
When you do get a judgment, it will be entered into a court record. It can’t come off that individual’s record without an expungement. Landlords will often negotiate with the tenant when they want the eviction off the record. If the tenants pay their damages, the landlord will agree not to oppose the expungement.

Britney Spears concert had the chest in the air. It happened on the stage, in Las Vegas. It should be noted that the very Britney Spears did not notice the confusion.
Although perhaps the singer has planned an action for the sake of PR. But who will understand? Nevertheless, many concert visitors had time to remove a video and capture photos at the same time when Britney Spears breast falls out of the dress, and she, as if nothing had happened, continued to sing.
However, the singer makes no tragedy out of what happened. Previously, she often fell into such scandalous situation because of their habit of not wearing a dress underwear on social events.
But that was a long time ago. The singer has matured since then, so we can only assume, but not say anything in relation to its public relations gimmicks. | 2019-04-22T06:53:17 | http://klipoman.com/en/%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%BF%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B0-%D0%B3%D1%80%D1%83%D0%B4%D1%8C-%D0%B2-%D0%BF%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BC-%D1%8D%D1%84%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B5-%D1%83-%D0%B1%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%BD%D0%B8-%D1%81%D0%BF/ |

Working together to make a powerful difference in world affairs, United States of America and United Kingdom today reaffirmed stronger alliance in the 21st century.
In his remarks with Foreign Secretary William Hague after their meeting in London, Secretary of State John Kerry says one thing that binds the United States and Great Britain is a special relationship, a partnership of the heart.
Mr. Kerry points out that both countries thrived together in peace and stood together time and time again in order to meet the world’s great challenges.
In the 21st century, Mr. Kerry says both countries face new and a more complex set of challenges, but together, it is absolutely clear that US-UK partnership remains stronger than ever.
According to Mr. Kerry, both discussed a very full agenda that reflects the many benefits and the relationships that bring both of our peoples and the world together, from countering terrorism to creating jobs to advancing shared values.
Both countries discussed historic agreement in its beginnings and that is to start the work on a U.S-EU transatlantic trade and investment partnership to grow prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, and the President of the United States, Barack Obama, wave from the South Portico Balcony alongside their wives, Samantha and Michelle in March 2012.
However, Mr. Kerry explains that Europe freestanding alone is the largest economy in the world.
And when UKs join that together with the United States of America, they have a powerful ability to be able to affect the rules of the road and to be able to raise standards and, most importantly, create jobs for all of their people.
Europe is already America’s largest trading partner, and this agreement will create more jobs, spur additional investment., he added.
Both countries also discussed the responsibility that both share to support fragile democracies across the world, across the Maghreb, from Libya to Tunisia and beyond.
Mr. Kerry notes that it is in US mutual interest to see that these fledgling democracies flourish.

According to Mr. Kerry, both countries agree that the Syrian people deserve better than the horrific violence that now invades and threatens their everyday lives– the lives of innocent people, the lives of people who simply want an ability to have their government be accountable and to be able to be part of the governance of their own lives.
He reiterates that the Assad regime has rained down rockets on Aleppo in recent days, and that is just the latest example of Assad’s brutality.
Both countries condemn this indiscriminate killing of innocent civilians, and we condemn it in the strongest terms.
Mr. Kerry cites US is grateful for UK’s effort to help dial up the pressure on the regime, for their contributions of humanitarian aid, and for hosting the transition conference last month.
Both countries also pledged to continue to work closely to address the growing humanitarian crisis, and to support the Syrian Opposition Council.
Both countries are coordinating with the Syrian Opposition Coalition, and both are coordinating with the UN, and with others in order to help get relief to the victims who need that help.
According to Mr. Kerry, both US and UK discussed discussed on a couple of occasions Iran’s nuclear program and P-5+1 talks with Iran that take place in Kazakhstan.
He notes both US and UK have stated that Iran will not obtain a nuclear weapon.
He adds President Obama has been crystal clear about this and both countries repeatedly made clear, the window for a diplomatic solution simply cannot by definition remain open forever.
Both countries are prepared to negotiate in good faith, in mutual respect, in an effort to avoid whatever terrible consequences could follow failure.
Both countries also discussed also their partnership in Afghanistan.
The US is grateful for the sacrifices of British people and the contribution of their remarkable troops.
He says both countries need to continue to remain in close coordination as both tackle the very important upcoming transition.
Both countries affirms that 2013 will be an important year for Afghanistan, where U.S. and UK troops continue to stand shoulder-to-shoulder.
According to Mr. Kerry, both countries share a vision of two states living side by side in peace and security for Israel and Palestine.
Both countries are attach to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Both agree that there is no more urgent foreign policy priority in 2013 than restarting negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.
Both countries also assert that the region and the world can’t afford the current dangerous impasse in the peace process; for if they don’t make progress very soon, then the two-state solution could become impossible to achieve.
With the long history of partnership and collaboration, the United States and Great Britain have made countries both stronger, and made the world more stable and secure.
Mr. Kerry says they meet with a special commitment to the effort to do their work to make the world yet safer and more stable and a place of greater opportunity and peace for all peoples. | 2019-04-25T16:43:02 | https://newsblaze.com/world/europe/us-uk-alliance-remains-stronger-than-ever_30875/ |
Fresh Balls is life changing! That is all.
I have been using fresh balls for about 8 yrs now. I work in a kitchen, play lacrosse, go to the gym 3-4 times a week, and keep myself groomed. Fresh Balls is the key to preventing sticky sweaty balls. Know if then could make a deodorant I would be all set.
Good stuff. Excellent for comfort in hot weather.
Fresh balls is my saving grace . I always had a problem with chafing as far as I could remember. I used to use diaper rash cream which was greasy. But low and behold he comes the best product ever. Keeps you feeling and smelling good. Dries lovely so you don't even feel like it's there but it's a life saver. I put so many people on to this product, I'm like a walking commercial for fresh balls. Fresh balls is a must have.
Fresh Balls, its name says it all!
Its name gets right to the point...Fresh Balls... Great product..keeps my 'junk' feeling clean, fresh, and no odor....Works much better than body powder..Drop your drawers with complete confidence...Great product!
My bathroom used to look like Scarface had a party in there, powder all over the place. Fresh Balls stopped that, no more mess.
I work outdoors in south Florida and this stuff works ten times better than powder. No chaffing, no sticking, no mess. They throw in the Fresh Feet when you buy the golf pack, I don't think I would've tried it, but it's very nice, keeps my feet comfortable on really hot days. Great products, excellent value, fast shipping.
Great product, I work 8 hour days and it kept me dry all day. I will be making another order. Fresh Balls is awesome. | 2019-04-25T06:21:28 | https://freshballs.com/fresh-balls-golf-pack/?revpage=1 |

The longest running and most successful initiative of The Anvil, The Boiler is back for our fifth year enabling student startups in the Purdue community. The Boiler is a pre-seed accelerator with a mission of taking early stage startups from Purdue students and giving them the resources they need to succeed and generate revenue.
Startup Career Fair was Purdue’s first career fair that focuses solely on introducing students to some of the fastest growing startups in the region. We brought 25+ companies in a wide variety of industries with more than a 100+ opportunities available for students. The event was attended by over 300 students across disciplines.
Stay tuned to our Facebook for photos of the event, or get in touch if you’d like to be involved in next year’s fair.
In November 2018, The Anvil hosted Purdue’s first social entrepreneurship competition. Named Crossing State Street, metaphorically bridging our campus, it consisted of multidisciplinary teams which created a business plan of a social enterprise. We partnered with Care For Friends, a nonprofit based in Chicago, to have a common goal, solving the communication between services and the homeless population. | 2019-04-24T04:43:53 | https://www.anvilstartups.com/events/ |

Pitiful levels!!! Facebook/PC users, Do not waste P/U’s… It’s still early, but the only level I know is level 5 favours PC…All others Mobile!!
Went through once, not doing it again. What an annoying tournament. Thanks, Tom.
I agree. I hate jello to begin with and these levels are just awful.

No cheats or hacks but a bunch of really nice gamers and eggheads with a lot to share–free. Take the first step and request membership. Don’t forsake the Nest but come back here regularly and educate the “younger” ones.
This is a great shot. Difficult for me to get the correct landing point through the aiming process.
Not going to waste even one power up on these annoying levels.
I wish whoever is doing the video walk through would slow down just enough to see where the tracer lines are ending! Had to rewind each video a few times before I could figure it out. Using up too much data doing that .
Never thought about using wingman for 10k at the end of a level. Thanks for that!
Level 3 Mobile. Bounce Sling-FLW Wingman to far right pit, where the large double jelles are, Wingman bounces back clearing out the left side. ( You need to reduce the sling/power to get the right bounce!
I entered my scores here earlier and noticed that the total was 6,000 points higher than is showing on my iPad so I checked with a calculator and the higher total is correct.
I don’t know why the Rovio score is wrong but I’ll be checking it during each tournament from now on. | 2019-04-22T20:32:08 | https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/angry-birds-friends-2017-tournament-276-a-on-now/ |

The new Walt Disney film “Escape to Witch Mountain” is a solid adventure for the under 12 set. That might sound like a backhanded compliment, but compared to other recent Disney live action features, “Witch Mountain” is something special. Only rarely is it juvenile.
Two children, an orphaned brother and sister, both about 12, star in this tale of the supernatural. The kids, Tia and Tony, have angelic faces and eerie talents. Tia can talk to her brother telepathically without moving her lips.
Both can move objects without touching them. Caught in a fight, Tony orders a baseball glove to strike a bully in the face. In another scrap, he has his pet black cat scratch his opponent. Weird kids.
But nice. Tia is clairvoyant, and she uses her ability to predict the future to save a powerful man’s life.
Unfortunately, she picked the wrong man to save. Mr. Deranian (sounds like “deranged,” and played that way by Donald Pleasence) is the executive assistant to rich and powerful Aristotle Bolt (Ray Milland). Bolt lives on the California coast in a San Simeon style estate.
Not satisfied with merely “owning everything in sight but the sky,” Bolt wants to latch on to things extraterrestrial.
Learning about the kid’s powers from Deranian, Bolt arranges for Deranian to masquerade as their long-lost uncle.
Which, of course, is exactly what the kids suddenly want to do.
From then on, “Witch Mountain” is a chase story replete with the Disney outfit’s usual bag of special effects: flying cars, superintelligent animals.
One more thing. From time to time, Tia has these visions. She sees her brother and herself sinking off a wrecked boat in icy water. What do these visions mean? Who are these kids really? And where on earth did they get their powers?
“Witch Mountain” earned prolonged applause from the young matinee crowd I joined; little ones seemed to enjoy it best, and I wasn’t bored either. | 2019-04-23T18:36:18 | https://clickamericana.com/media/movies-motion-pictures/lets-escape-witch-mountain-1975 |

In the Orthodox Church, the liturgical day begins in the evening with the setting of the sun. This practice follows the Biblical account of creation: “And there was evening and there was morning, one day” (Gen 1.5). On the eve of the Lord’s Day, we gather for “Vigil” — the solemn and meditative services of Vespers and Matins.
The service (mostly sung) takes us through creation, sin, and salvation in Christ. It leads us to the meditation of God’s word and the glorification of his love for men. It instructs us and allows us to praise God for the particular events or persons whose memory is celebrated and made present to us in the Church. It prepares us for the sleep of the night and the dawn of the new day to come. On the evening before the Divine Liturgy, it begins our movement into the most perfect communion with God in the sacramental mysteries.
The “climax” of the Vigil is the proclamation of the Resurrection of Christ in a reading from the Holy Gospels; all are anointed with holy oil after this reading.
The services of Holy Trinity Cathedral, a parish of the Orthodox Church in America, are sung in English. All are welcome!
The Divine Liturgy is the common work of Orthodox Christians officially gathered to constitute the Church. It is the action of the Church assembled by God in order to be together in one community to worship, to pray, to sing, to hear God’s Word, to be instructed in God’s commandments, to offer itself with thanksgiving in Christ to God the Father, and to have the living experience of God’s eternal kingdom through communion with the same Christ Who is present in his people by the Holy Spirit.
The services at Holy Trinity Cathedral are sung in English. Our parish is the oldest Orthodox community in the contiguous United States. It is the cathedral of the Diocese of the West, Orthodox Church in America. All are welcome!
Divine Liturgy begins at 10:00 am. Choir rehearsal, church school, confessions, and Hours begin at 9:30.
We continue our fellowship after liturgy with a luncheon and often other events too, such as special monthly church school programs, seminars, and parish council. Our bookstore is open then, too! | 2019-04-19T00:20:49 | https://holy-trinity.org/about/schedule.html |
18-year-old Rachel McGill from Limerick was director of the short film Hygge that premiered in RTE2 in January.
Aspiring filmmaker Rachel McGill had a successful start to 2019 after the debut of her latest film ‘Hygge’ on RTE Two this past January.
Hygge tells the story of a blossoming friendship between an Irish boy and a Syrian girl whose families tensely live beside each other. The short film was part of the Fresh Film Festival Hothouse Project and Rachel began working on it when she was beginning university two years ago.
Featured in the film are Rio Ayoub who plays Aamira, Daniel Patterson as Paddy, Christine Lally and Lulius Hedges as the Syrian parents and Wayne Byrne and Sandra Dowd Callaghan as the Irish parents.
Rebekah Bustos, art director, and Rachel McGill, film student and director, have worked together for three years on various projects.
Despite her young age, Rachel is no stranger to the film circuit as she was included in a 30-strong Creative Minds line-up at the 2018 Cannes International Film Festival last summer.
The up-and-coming young film director from Limerick first captured the attention of the public in 2016 when she became the first female winner of Young Irish Filmmaker of the Year award at the Fresh Film Festival with her movie ‘Poppies’. Since then, the 20-year-old has been working on various projects throughout the past year.
Set in the 1940s and inspired by Sylvia Plath’s poem, ‘Poppies in July’, Rachel’s movie ‘Poppies’ was chosen over 400 other entries in the finals submitted by young filmmakers from all over Ireland to become the 2016’s winner of the Young Irish Filmmaker of the Year Award.
Now in its 22nd year, Fresh Film Festival encourages young people from Ireland and overseas, aged 7 to 18 years, to create, exhibit and share films. The Fresh Film festival encourages and supports young people from Ireland and international, aged 7 to 18 years old to get involved in filmmaking. The festival is open to individual filmmakers, schools, youth and community groups and provides an opportunity for these young filmmakers to see their work on the big screen, from comedy to animation. This year’s Fresh Film Festival will take place from March 25 to March 30 and Ireland’s Young Filmmaker of the Year Awards 2019 will be presented on the March 27 for the Junior category and March 28 for the Senior category during the Festival. | 2019-04-20T09:03:40 | https://www.ilovelimerick.ie/rachel-mcgill/ |

Imagine a scenario where your application is handling a lot of users at the same time with various functionalities. To implement such a scenario smoothly we should have a server that is able to handle all this. If the users keep on increasing we should scale the server and do all the necessary steps for the smooth working of our application. This is time-consuming and costly. Think if there is a way to automate it, that too at low cost.
AWS Lambda does the work for us. AWS Lambda is a new AWS service that helps us to not only scale the most time and server consuming part for us but also carry out error logging, patching and monitoring. All we need to provide is the code. And we pay as per our use.
You can use AWS Lambda to run your code in response to events, like changes to data in an Amazon S3 bucket, an Amazon DynamoDB table, to run your code in response to HTTP requests using Amazon API Gateway, or invoke your code using API calls made using AWS SDKs. With these capabilities, you can use Lambda to easily build data processing triggers for AWS services like Amazon S3 and Amazon DynamoDB process streaming data stored in Amazon Kinesis, or create your own back end that operates at AWS scale, performance, and security.
Where does AWS Lambda cost us?
The service costs us for two parameters.
Duration: Duration is calculated when you invoke a function till it finishes or loses connection. This is rounded to the nearest 100m. The price depends on the amount of memory you allocate to your function. You are charged $0.00001667 for every GB-second used.
Apart from this, the amount of memory we define to a service while setting it up and the execution time also add to the price.
How to write Lambda function for Python?
There are many ways to do it, similar to already built blueprints available in console build by AWS. Merely invoke this. AWS SDK can be used to interact between different AWS services. There will be always options to create a custom function.
Handler: This will be the initial thing which will be called when a Lambda function is invoked.The event details will be passed by lambda to this.It is handlers duty to take the process further.Arguments which are passed into this handler include event and context.
Event-This contain event details .It will be python dict format type. It can also be list, str, int, float, or NoneType type.
Context-It provides RUNTIME information of the handler.
The Context Object: This deal with communication with Lambda function and Lambda service.eg remaining time for AWS service terminate, Cloud watch log details, AWS requests ID etc.
get_remaining_time_in_millis(): Returns the remaining execution time, in milliseconds, until AWS Lambda terminates the function.
function_name: Name of the Lambda function that is executing.
function_version: The Lambda function version that is executing. If an alias is used to invoke the function, then function_version will be the version the alias points to.
invoked_function_arn: The ARN used to invoke this function. It can function ARN or alias ARN. An unqualified ARN executes the $LATEST version and aliases execute the function version it is pointing to.
Logging: As mentioned early the Lambda function will lock details for us we just have to define that in our function.There are two possible ways to using print statement or Logger functions in the logging module.Both will log details but logger functions write additional information to each log entry, such as timestamp and log level.
The Cloud Watch: To find your logs in CloudWatch you need to know the log group name and log stream name.
Response Header if we invoke Lambda Programmatically: we can add fields to retire this last 4 KB of log data from Cloud watch.
Exceptions: If Lambda function come across an exception it will parse the and serialize the error and return a JSON.
The error information depends on Invocation type e.g. if it is RequestResponse invocation type, the client who invoked may get error response.
There is a way to create code in the inbuilt, it editor and upload from theirs .We can also use blueprint and use them, so setting up is easy and fast. The difficult part in custom function is that we should upload the code and dependencies in .zip format. And it should follow a particular format.
Save this file (for example, as hello_python.py).
Package the file and any dependencies into a .zip file. When creating the zip, include only the code and its dependencies, not the containing folder.
Upload the .zip file using either the console or AWS CLI to create a Lambda function. You specify the function name in the Python code to be used as the handler when you create a Lambda function. Note that the Getting Started uses a blueprint that provides sample code for a Lambda function. In this case, you already have a deployment package. Therefore, in the configure function step you choose to upload a zip.
The following create-function AWS CLI command creates a Lambda function. It specifies the --handler parameter to specify the handler name.
The application of Lambda function is endless in Web Apps, Data analysis, Mobile Apps, etc. The catchiest thing about this service is the easy automation of a huge and complicated process into single module so that we can work more on the code part. Developers and customers can improve the user experience of their product in a less expensive manner. Better user experience means more advantages and hence this service can add more value to everyone. | 2019-04-19T16:24:45 | https://www.sayonetech.com/blog/aws-lambda-function-python/ |

Facebook is getting deeper into the professional sports streaming game, partnering with Major League Baseball to air 25 weekday afternoon games in an exclusive deal.
The games will be available to Facebook users in the US on Facebook Watch, the company’s video feature announced last August, via the MLB Live show page. Facebook said Friday that recorded broadcasts also will be available globally, excluding select international markets.
The package, MLB’s first digital-only national broadcast agreement, precludes teams from televising those games on their regional sports networks.
Facebook’s selection will come from among the nine games per season teams can lose from their local telecasts to national video partners, which include Fox and ESPN.
MLB owners approved the deal in a telephone meeting this week. MLB will receive $30 million to $35 million (roughly Rs. 195 to 227 crores), a person familiar with the agreement told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the amount was not released.
Facebook, Twitter and Amazon and other tech companies are in a race to acquire sports streaming rights, which can be lucrative and potentially boost user loyalty. The deal comes at a time when leagues are worrying about cord-cutters causing a decrease in viewers among cable television networks.
Verizon signed a deal with the NBA to stream eight basketball games on Yahoo, and Amazon paid $50 million (roughly Rs. 325 crores) to stream NFL games to Prime members last season.
The games will be produced by the MLB Network for Facebook Watch, with interactive and social elements that differentiate them from live streaming.
Facebook’s first-month schedule includes Philadelphia-New York Mets on April 4, Milwaukee-St. Louis on April 11, Kansas City-Toronto on April 18 and Arizona-Philadelphia on April 26.
Facebook had a package of 20 non-exclusive Friday night games last year that began in mid-May and used broadcast feeds from the participating teams. | 2019-04-26T14:29:50 | https://techosta.com/facebook-show-25-major-league-baseball-games-season/ |
Hope, Inspirational, Life's Lessons, Love and Relationships, So, Why Dear John?
For many, the only side of me that has ever been seen is the me that writes the musings on my site here, but once upon a time, in a faraway galaxy, I was more of a statistically and fact-driven sports columnist.
It was one of the many reasons I began writing as Dear John.
You see, people have an innate sense to want to pigeon-hole writers in one category or another, but following my first Dear John column, a reader commented how the Dear John columns showed a “softer side” of me. A side not known to the general public.
The “other side” of what? Of course, the topic of my age was brought up — I wasn’t even in my mid-40’s yet.
She went on to explain my age allowed me to be a bit more introspective about life — she was in her 20’s, so I guess, yes, I would be a little more introspective.
Introspective? I really never thought much about being introspective.
What I thought I was doing was applying all I had learned and experienced over the years and hopefully letting readers see they were not alone, but I guess I did have to look inward to put it all together and decide how I felt and thought about different things.
I believe we all become a little introspective now and then, even those who want to be looked at as the Rock of Gibraltar for each of the sexes.
Many see someone being introspective as a weakness, but I find it as strength.
The ability to be in touch with how you feel about particular things has nothing whatsoever to do with a physical strength, manliness or being looked as a strong independent woman.
In fact, I believe it takes an even stronger person to be able to show their feelings, say how they feel about something, or take a look inside and be maybe a little philosophical.
Why? Because it takes courage and inner strength to be different from the stereotypical male or female.
It would be like saying you cried when your team lost the Super Bowl, but you didn’t when Old Yeller died in the movie.
For those who have never seen Old Yeller, particularly animal lovers, watch the movie and get back with me through a comment or email — if you don’t get choked up by the end of Old Yeller, nothing will choke you up.
While there are many reasons one cries, one type of crying may be acceptable to your peers, while other forms would not be.
Being able to look introspectively helps define who you are as a person, what your beliefs are, what you stand for and your particular ideas on many other things.
An introspective outlook, and yes you can look outwardly at the inside, has helped me stay away from different types of people at different times of my life, simply because their outlook on life is so much different from mine.
Sometimes a look inside can change your life, and at other times, give you validation of your belief system.
Is there really a point and time in your life when age has a part in it?
I believe that there are points and times in our lives when we reach certain milestones that make us all a little more introspective, but I also believe there are times when circumstances cause us to look inside ourselves a little more introspectively.
As I get a little older I have become more introspective, but only because I can draw upon circumstances in my life that give me insight into myself.
I guess even that is being introspective. Look inside, be introspective, it’s there where you’ll find out a little more about yourself, all while finding a way to shine. | 2019-04-20T07:23:30 | https://dearjohndiaries.com/2016/10/27/dare-to-let-your-inner-beauty-bloom-outwardly/ |
CDC has released a graphic novel to help young people understand the potential health risks of influenza viruses that normally circulate in swine and can cause disease in people (known as variant flu infections). This coincides with a report by CDC in FluView today of 4 new variant virus infections associated with attendance at agricultural fairs in two U.S. states.
While variant flu infections in people are rare, they can sometimes lead to serious illness, including hospitalization and death. Most variant flu infections occur in children exposed to infected pigs or their environments in agricultural fair settings. During 2017, 67 variant virus infections were reported in the United States, six of which resulted in hospitalization. Two of these hospitalizations involved children who were admitted into an intensive care unit.
CDC developed the graphic novel in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and 4-H, the youth development organization affiliated with USDA. The novel follows a group of teenage 4-H members who participate in a state agricultural fair and later attend CDC’s Disease Detective Camp in Atlanta.
When one of the boys becomes sick following the fair, the rest of the group uses its newly acquired disease detective skills to help a team of public- and animal-health experts solve the mystery of how their friend became sick. The graphic novel was developed at CDC and illustrated by Bob Hobbs, the artist who illustrated CDC’s Zombie Pandemic graphic novel.
The graphic novel, “The Junior Disease Detectives: Operation Outbreak,” is available for free download from the CDC flu website and the Apple iBook storeExternal.
CDC collaborated with teachers participating in its Science Ambassador Fellowship to develop educational activities to accompany the graphic novel for use in middle and high school science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classrooms across the country.
Earlier this year, the CDC Science Ambassador Fellowship piloted the first of these activities with over 120 middle and high school STEM teachers. This activity is being released with the graphic novel, and the program plans to roll out additional classroom activities throughout the 2018-2019 school year.
The graphic novel and its associated curriculum is part of a broader CDC initiative with USDA and other agricultural partners to raise awareness, knowledge, and understanding of a One Health approach to zoonotic disease prevention and response. A One Health approach recognizes that the health of people is connected to the health of animals and the environment. | 2019-04-18T22:38:15 | https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2018/p0810-flu-graphic-novel.html |

Iran is unlikely to agree to curb its nuclear programme unless the U.S. and its Western allies are prepared to ease tough economic sanctions imposed against the Islamic Republic over the past decade, according to a major new report signed by more than three dozen former top U.S. foreign-policy makers, military officers, and independent experts.
While recent sanctions “may well help bring Iran to the negotiating table, it is not clear that these sanctions alone will result in agreements or changes in Iranian policies, much less changes in Iran’s leadership,” the report, “Weighing Benefits and Costs of International Sanctions Against Iran”, concludes.
“If Iran were to signal its willingness to modify its nuclear program and to cooperate in verifying those modifications, Iranian negotiations would expect the United States and its allies, in turn, to offer a plan for easing some of the sanctions,” according to the 86-page report.
But, “(a)bsent a calibrated, positive response from the West, Iran’s leaders would have little incentive to move forward with negotiations,” it stressed, noting that the administration of President Barack Obama should have a plan at the ready that would make clear how and in what sequence Washington might ease sanctions in exchange for Iranian cooperation.
The new report, which is signed by 38 foreign policy luminaries, including three Republican former cabinet secretaries, former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker, and half a dozen retired Army and Marine Corps generals with substantial Middle East experience, comes at a particularly sensitive moment.
On the one hand, Congress, prodded by the powerful American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), is moving to enact as part of the 2013 defence bill tough new sanctions against foreign companies and individuals still doing business in several key Iranian economic sectors.
The final bill, which may seek to reduce Obama’s ability to “waive” such sanctions, could also include policy language adopted by the House urging the administration to build up its military presence in the region to make the threat of an attack against Iran’s nuclear facilities more credible.
On the other hand, the administration, which opposes the pending sanctions package and any limitation on the president’s waiver authority, has been meeting with its partners in the P5+1 group -the U.S., Britain, France, Russia, China, and Germany – to forge a common negotiating position in preparation for a new round of talks with Iran that will probably take place next month.
In the clearest statement to date, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton last week said Washington was also willing to engage Tehran on a bilateral basis in order to gain an accord.
She and other officials have said in the past that Washington is willing to ease sanctions in return for Iran’s cooperation, but the administration has been vague about the timing, suggesting it would consider taking such steps only after Tehran took specific concrete steps.
These include shipping its stockpile of 20-percent enriched uranium out of the country, closing its Fordow enrichment plant, and clearing up long-pending questions by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about Tehran’s possible past research into the military applications of nuclear energy.
Given the prominence and bipartisanship of the signatories, who also included Michael Hayden, a retired four-star Air Force general who served in top intelligence positions under Bill Clinton and George W. Bush and advised Mitt Romney in his unsuccessful election bid against Obama, the new report could well influence both the debate in Congress and within the administration.
The Iran Project’s first report – on the costs and benefits of a possible U.S. or Israeli military attack on Iran – received considerable attention here after its release in mid-September.
That report, which concluded that even a massive U.S. assault would set back Tehran’s nuclear programme by only four years at best, highlighted the growing concern in establishment foreign-policy circles about the beating of the war drums by the right-wing government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and its supporters here.
Like its predecessor, the latest report, does not advocate a particular policy.
But it notes that the benefits of U.S. sanctions against Iran “have often been taken as a given,” in part because they offer an alternative to military action. The costs of sanctions, on the other hand, have not been “routinely addressed in the public or policymaking debate”.
Among the benefits sanctions have provided, according to the report, have been a slowdown in the expansion of Iran’s nuclear programme; a relative weakening of its conventional military capabilities; growing concerns in the regime about public unhappiness with the economy which “appears to have been significantly weakened” as a result of these measures.
On the costs side of the ledger, on the other hand, the report cited tensions between the U.S. and Russia, China, India, Turkey, and South Korea, among other countries, which have been pressed to comply with Washington’s increasingly comprehensive sanctions.
It also noted increased influence by hard-line factions, such as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), over the cash-strapped economy; the political empowerment of those same factions which can depict the sanctions as U.S.-led aggression; and the sanctions’ potential negative humanitarian impact as U.S. and foreign companies and groups that sell or provide food and medicine to Iran find the licensing procedures too burdensome and the banks needed to provide credit for such transactions increasingly unwilling to do so.
Insofar as the sanctions lower the quality of life for the average Iranian, they may also contribute to long-term alienation between the two countries.
In addition, the sanctions are creating “new international patterns of trade” that are resulting in increased market share for Chinese and Indian goods in Iran at the expense of Western products, while the “rapid expansion of unofficial, black-market trade between Iran and Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, and Turkey is distorting and undermining the economies of those states and the region,” according to the report. | 2019-04-24T22:47:00 | https://lobelog.com/iran-nuclear-accord-unlikely-without-easing-sanctions/ |

Nearly all DHT implementations vulnerable to 'merge' bug.
As DHT implementations proliferate and harmonise, the prospect of multiple widely-deployed applications using the same or compatiable DHT implementations is increasingly becoming a reality. There are a large and increasing number of DHT libraries out there, such as Entangled , and FreePastry, being used by an increasing number of applications.
However, most of these implementations are vulnerable to a simple but subtle bug: They have no way of distinguishing one DHT network from another. Although each application's DHT network or networks start off separate, if, by chance or deliberate action a node from a different but compatiable DHT is introduced, the 'self healing' property of DHTs will ensure that, sooner or later, the two networks become merged into a single DHT.
This is not a problem for single-purpose DHT implementations such as those used by BitTorrent or Overnet, since they generally establish a single DHT with all compatiable clients participating in any case. Nor is this a problem for networks designed with heterogenous applications in mind, such as CSpace. However, this still leaves a number of DHT libraries that don't fall into either of these categories.
Last night, having finally found my Cybook again, I downloaded Cory Doctorow's latest novel, Little Brother. Like all his other works, it's available for free download under a creative commons license, and like all his other books, it's excellent.
Unlike his other books, Little Brother is scary. Not scary in a "something's creeping up behind you" sort of way, but scary in a "completely plausible, yet utterly terrifying" way. The book is set in the (very) near future, and is focused around some of the most surveiled people in society - no, not prison inmates, high-school children. Imagine George Orwell's 1984, only a lot more immediate. Though disturbing enough to begin with, describing as it does worrying yet (alas) completely plausible intrusions in the name of 'security', everything takes a turn for the worse when a terrorist attack sends security paranoia into overdrive. | 2019-04-21T20:33:44 | http://blog.notdot.net/archive/2008/06/ |
Regulator warns Global-GMG radio deal may hit competition | City A.M.
GLOBAL Radio’s £70m deal to buy GMG Radio was yesterday cleared by the Competition Commission, but the regulator warned that the takeover could drive up advertising prices across the UK.
In London – where Global Radio runs Heart, LBC, Choice, Gold, Capital and Xfm – the commission cleared the deal, which would see Global take ownership of GMG’s Smooth Radio.
But in Manchester, Scotland, Cardiff, Yorkshire, the east Midlands and north Wales it cautioned that competition in local advertising markets could be affected.
“The CC has found that in many areas where Global and Real and Smooth stations currently overlap and compete, advertisers ... could face higher costs,” the commission said in a statement. | 2019-04-21T04:46:35 | http://www.cityam.com/article/regulator-warns-global-gmg-radio-deal-may-hit-competition |
Verizon officials apologized for a "process failure" that caused a Santa Clara County fire department unit's broadband data speeds to be throttled significantly multiple times this summer while the unit tried to coordinate resources from throughout the state to fight the worst wildfire in California history-an action that was characterized as "ridiculous" by a county official.
The account by Bowden is part of a larger lawsuit, filed by 22 states that are seeking to overturn the government's decision to revoke net neutrality.
Verizon's moves are aimed at soothing mounting outrage sparked by the Santa Clara County Fire Department, which said that the telecom giant had throttled the speeds of firefighters struggling to contain the largest wildfire California has ever seen. "For that, we are truly sorry".
The California State Assembly's Committee on Natural Disaster Response, Recovery, and Rebuilding is holding an informational hearing Friday on "The Verizon Wireless "Data Throttling" of Mendocino Complex Firefighters' Internet Access".
After Verizon admitted that it slowed the fire department's data - a despised practice known as throttling - but claimed it was a simple mistake that "has nothing to do with net neutrality", Santa Clara County Counsel James Williams responded in astatementon behalf of the fire department on Wednesday that "Verizon's throttling has everything to do with net neutrality".
Verizon has since said it will change its policies for public safety departments during emergencies. "This situation has nothing to do with net neutrality or the current proceeding in court", she said.
The multi-party lawsuit says Verizon's actions were a outcome of the FCC's December 2017 repeal of net neutrality laws, which mandates equal access to all internet websites and allows the FCC greater control over internet service providers, like Verizon. "And we're making every effort to ensure that it never happens again".
"If folks are in a position to block or slow your access to information at a time of an emergency, that's gonna have a bad effect", said Joe Simitian, president of the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors. "In this situation, we should have lifted the speed restriction when our customer reached out to us".
The FCC's new rules require internet service providers to publicly disclose how they manage traffic but charge the Federal Trade Commission - not the FCC - with handling complaints.
He blamed an "operational error" for the company's failure to lift the data cap as soon as firefighters called.
As of August 13, wildfires across California had scorched more than 726,000 acres and destroyed at least 2,000 structures, Bowden said in his declaration.
Another U.S. cardinal, Sean O'Malley, also backed out as he handles a probe into alleged sexual misconduct at a seminary. Amid the cheers, there were some protests in support of victims of clerical abuse at the hands of the Catholic Church .
Come on, it's the second game of the season! "He may not [even] be manager at some time this season". Mourinho said after the Leicester game: "It will be a hard season for everybody, not just for us".
Thomas Jr. also shared his belief that Kensington Palace put a strain on Meghan's relationship with her father as well. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have welcomed a new addition to their family, and no, it's not a baby.
Heitmann's McLaren was traveling at nearly 100 miles per hour as he drove south on a northbound carpool lane on the I-805 highway. According to KSWB, Heitmann rose to prominence as a "skins trader" in the video game " Counter Strike: Global Offensive ".
Roger Federer , Juan Martin del Porto, Alexander Zverev and Kevin Anderson are also included in the top five of the men's bracket. Venus, seeded 16th this year, has a first-round matchup against wildcard Svetlana Kuznetsova, a victor in NY in 2004.
It was the latest hint that the first lady might be subtly separating herself from her husband and his controversial views. President Cyril Ramaphosa's spokeswoman said the government would "take up the matter through diplomatic channels".
Michaels claims that coconut oil is even worse than lard (fat rendered from hog fat), once a hit among Housewives of the 1950-ies.

Depending on the size of your project, you may want to consider engaging volunteers. The information included in this section is based on best practices as outlined in The Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement.
The Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement has been updated and is currently available for review at www.volunteercanada.ca.
The Canadian Code for Volunteer Involvement is a document that outlines best practices when engaging volunteers. The document was first launched by Volunteer Canada in 2001 to mark the International Year of Volunteers.i It functions as a reference tool in support of volunteer management professionals and organizations who wish to offer meaningful volunteer opportunities to individuals interested in giving back to the communities of their choice. For more information, please visit www.volunteer.ca.
Why would I like to engage volunteers? Are there any negatives?
Why is volunteering important to the individual who is volunteering for this project? Are there any negatives?
How do I define “volunteer”?
Are there other words I would use (or would prefer using) when referring to volunteers?
Volunteers with excellent communication skills and sound judgment could assist with spreading the word about the planned production. Others may want to contribute their design skills and develop marketing materials to be distributed at community centres, cafés, galleries, theatres, and other suitable locations in a variety of neighbourhoods.
You may want volunteers to sign an agreement prior to publishing any posts about the event to ensure that they adhere to proper etiquette when using social media. In addition, you could provide them with pre-created messages you deem appropriate for sharing.
Performance art-based university and college programs may be a great resource to find volunteers who would like to gain experience in stage management and other skills associated with this field. Even if a particular task is not the most exciting, but still necessary to execute a successful event, explain to the volunteer why it is important to have someone fulfill this role. It creates meaning and context.
Please refer to the list of possible programs in Additional Resources below.
The following key policies should be considered when you onboard volunteers.
Anyone involved with the project should be supported and treated with dignity and respect.
When you set out a call for volunteers, you may receive an overwhelming number of people who are interested in volunteering their time for your organization. It is always a good idea to go through some procedures prior to engaging your volunteers. Think about how many you will need and also consider including volunteers with disabilities.
Why they are interested in supporting your project?
What skills and experiences they could contribute?
How they wish to be involved?
What is the time frame? What are the deadlines?
How many hours do you expect them to commit to the project and when?
Include how to interact with people with different disabilities with dignity and respect for independence.
As an usher and/or scanner you are responsible for welcoming audience members to the venue, scanning tickets, guiding them to their seats, and answering questions they may have about the performance or venue.
This role is suitable for anyone who is comfortable interacting with the public and possesses great customer service skills.
Please wear black trousers or skirt and black shirt or blouse.
You will receive a name tag and a brief on-site training upon arrival.
If you have fewer than 50 volunteers, you may want to use an Excel spreadsheet or use Google drive to develop forms, documents, and schedules to keep track of applicants, the shift schedule, orientation & training documents, and feedback.
During the event, it is important to offer support to the volunteers on shift. Check in on a regular basis to ensure that everyone has a positive experience. You should also be prepared to answer questions and troubleshoot. Give everyone the opportunity to provide you with feedback at the end of each event, especially if it is a multi-day event and you could apply some of what has been learned to the next day.
Thank the volunteers for their support and ask for feedback from everyone involved (volunteers, co-workers, venue staff, and audience members) so that you are able to improve systems in place in the future. The evaluation process could be based on a survey you share with everyone.

Each week brings job lists, emails, documents, and new jobs. Just how much of this is completely different from the work you have done? Odds are, not much. Many of our daily tasks are variants on something we’ve done countless times before.
Do not reinvent the wheel each single time you start something fresh. Use templates–standardized files as starting point. Once you save another version of the template add, eliminate, or alter any info for that record, and you’ll have the new work completed in a fraction of this time.
Templates work anywhere: in word processors, spreadsheets, project management programs, survey programs, and also email. Here’s the way to automatically generate documents from a template — and how to use templates in your favorite apps –so you can get your tasks done faster.
Templates take the time to build, and it’s easy to wonder if they are worth the investment. The brief answer: absolutely. Editing a template requires much less time than formatting some thing from scratch. It is the difference between copying and pasting some text, or retyping it.
That is not the only benefit: Using a template means you’re not as inclined to leave out crucial information, too. By way of example, if you need to send freelance authors a contributor agreement, modifying a standard contract template (rather than composing a new contract each time) ensures you won’t depart out the crucial clause regarding owning the material as soon as you’ve paid for it.
Templates additionally guarantee consistency. Perhaps you send clients or investors regular job updates. With a template, you understand the upgrade will have the formatting, layout, and structure.
Imagine you’re creating a template of your resume. You’d want to record in-depth details and that means you’ll have all the information you want to apply for any job.
You can delete notes on, but you might forget it in the final 25, if it’s not from the template.
Some applications will automatically fill in all these variables for you (more on this in a little ). But should you need to fill in the data by yourself, include some text that’s obvious and easy to look for so you can find text that has to be changed without a lot of effort. | 2019-04-21T01:12:43 | https://lattermanband.com/free-printable-invoice-templates/ |
This last year, Chris went to the infamous Folsom Street Fair in San Francisco. Of it, he said “I think I scorched my eyeballs.” I think this book did the same to mine. It is postmodern erotica (I think, I really don’t know for sure), and each chapter is an adventure in which the protagonist Desiridero invokes wish fulfillment of various needs or desires (finding his ancestral people, finding his true love named Albertina, meeting the sadistic and vampiric Count, finding Professor Hoffman) which then disintegrates into disturbing sexual descriptions written in beautiful, poetic metaphor, which then decompose into a deadly scenario, and finally ends with an implausible rescue that also propels Desiridero into his next adventure. Again, this may be another Faust-inspired tale.
Although not a huge fan of it overall, I think postmodernism was the perfect style for this book, because sexual fantasies are, like postmodern writing, innately pretentious and silly at the same time. And Angela Carter is a lauded British writer – she died in 1992 – and her lush imagination and to-die-for similes and metaphors were truly inspired: it made it emotional and so very readable. I am glad I read the book, but I don’t know if I’m up for another in the same vein… because my eyeballs need calamine lotion, now.
Lessons: As with Mr. Attanasio, descriptions should strain to be as poetic as possible, different than what you have ever read before so it sticks in your head forever, and as perfect as you can possibly make them. | 2019-04-19T20:52:42 | https://www.whenwealllivedintheforestandnoonelivedanywhereelse.com/fantasy-reading/12-the-infernal-desire-machines-of-professor-hoffman-by-angela-carter |
Throughout our company, we promote ethical business practices along our value chain through transparency, innovation, and collaboration with all our partners. We strive to conduct our business to ensure long-term profitability and fair trade. Continuous improvements make sure that our partners, our customers, our suppliers and we ourselves are compliant with international laws, anti-corruption rules, and local regulations. We believe that all parties must have a positive economic impact in the societies in which they operate.
We operate a global network of sales and service units and produce a range of products with manufacturing facilities in the Netherlands, the United States of America, Iceland, Denmark, England, Brazil, Germany, and Slovakia.
The economic value generated by our operations in 2018 amounted to EUR 1,197.9 million, including sales and gains on sales of assets. Furthermore, we directly employed 5,794 full-time employees on average in 2018.
Our contribution to the societies in which we operate consist of many different elements, including salaries paid to employees and goods and services purchased from local suppliers.
Salaries paid during the year, excluding related expenses, amounted to EUR 343.6 million, or 28.7% of the economic value generated.
Through continuous innovation, implemented in close co-operation with its customers, Marel enables food processors to make the most of their raw materials. We visit plants and talk to the people working there to create technology that increases yield, reduces waste, and creates valuable by-products, while at the same time using less water, energy, and other resources. Stricter regulations and consumer demand for sustainability constantly challenge processors to produce more with less. Marel has taken steps to ensure that its solutions meet these challenges by making sustainability a permanent criterion for evaluating all of our new product developments.
The sustainability scorecard raises awareness and stimulates discussion amongst our innovation experts during the product development process, as they develop new solutions for food processors. Since we implemented the scorecard in January 2018, we have systematically considered a range of social and environmental factors during the innovation process.
By taking these steps today, we are ensuring our customers keep ahead of consumers’ growing demand for sustainably produced food.
Taxes paid by Marel in 2018 amounted to EUR 72.9 million (2017: 63.2 million) or 6.1% of the economic value generated.
Employment taxes represented 43.5% of the levies during the period, while 42.8% are corporate income taxes. In addition to the direct taxes, Marel collects and pays various state and local taxes and duties on behalf of the governments in which we operate.
Total taxes and duties collected in 2018 amounted to EUR 91.7 million (2017: 77.2 million).
In 2018, the total tax footprint amounted to EUR 164.6 million (2017: 140.4 million).
Innovation is the creation and delivery of new customer value in the marketplace. In our experience, innovation most often originates from partnerships between customers and our employees with the common aim of solving problems and improving processing in a new way.
We invested around EUR 74 million, or 6.2% of revenues, in creating and delivering new value for our customers through innovation in 2018. These innovative efforts represent a full range of endeavors: from breakthrough improvements in our products, to design upgrades and incremental additions to existing machines and systems. By working closely with our customers and employees, we are building durable equipment that remains competitive and meets the diverse needs of our customers.
We know that our company’s reputation is crucial to our success. Therefore, we take compliance with global anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws and regulations very seriously. The anti-bribery and anti-corruption policy adopted by Marel in January 2017 reinforces our commitment.
The policy applies to all employees, officers, and directors as well as any contractors, consultants, agents, and other business partners engaged in business on behalf of Marel. As an international company, we adhere to the anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws of all the countries in which we operate. | 2019-04-21T16:10:13 | https://ar2018.marel.com/responsible-growth/economic-responsibility/ |

Entrusting a half-million-dollar renovation investment to a construction team made up of a retired pastor, a farmer, an administrative assistant, an engineer and a salesman may seem like a risky decision. But that’s what members of Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Arlington, Wash., chose to do last summer when they contacted Mission Builders to connect two existing buildings with a new entryway, plus build a preschool addition.
Mission Builders, an outreach ministry of the ELCA, gathers workers from across the country to work for minimum wage on a renovation or new-build construction project for a church or religious camp. Most are retired; many have minimal experience in construction when they first begin.
While hiring a team that includes nonprofessionals could be seen as risky, it turned out to be one of the best decisions the congregation could have made, said Dianne Engelsen, an Our Saviour’s council member at the time.
Through the build, the 124-year-old congregation gained valuable space that has benefited the community and, in turn, brought new members to Our Saviour’s. And since Mission Builders expects church members to work alongside the group on the project, a bond was created that wouldn’t have happened with a hired contractor.
Mission Builders just celebrated its 30th anniversary, and much has been accomplished in three decades: it has constructed over 250 structures for more than 180 congregations and camps in 34 states.
The ministry has also saved organizations more than $25 million, which is usually the primary reason Mission Builders is contacted—groups are looking to save money, said Bill Graves, its director.
By working with Mission Builders, an organization can save 10 to 30 percent on a project, he said. If a Mission Builders architect is used upfront, sometimes more can be saved.
Architect fees typically cost 8 percent of a project’s total budget, Graves said. A $4 million project, for example, could include a $320,000 architect fee. A Mission Builders’ architect could offer pro bono work on the initial concepting and drawings, a potential savings of $64,000.
But, Graves said, “we want them to pursue us more importantly because of [our] impact of building community and faith. It will change their congregations. Congregants become more involved in their church.
While one focus of Mission Builders is to construct structurally sound buildings, the group works just as eagerly to construct spiritually sound communities. The crew hosts daily devotions; invites congregants to Bible studies and to share meals and prayers; and generally becomes an integral part of their host congregation.
Scott Summers, pastor of Our Saviour’s, said the spiritual emphasis of Mission Builders was incredibly important to the church, especially for the men who volunteered alongside the work crew.
Kathy Kjargaard was one of two Our Saviour’s members in charge of snacks and coffee during the construction project, finding host families and organizing Saturday potlucks open to the congregation and the workers.
Several congregants—dubbed fondly as the Magnificent Seven—joined the work crew whole-heartedly and put in 40-hour shifts each week to help the project along. That level of participation probably wouldn’t have happened without the example of the Mission Builders, Kjargaard said.
That level of participation probably wouldn’t have happened without the example of the Mission Builders.
In total, 28 congregation members volunteered a total of 5,500 hours toward the build—not including those who cooked and prepared meals for the workers or donated time and efforts in other ways, Kjargaard said.
In fact, when her husband, Jim, suggested those who had volunteered during the project could stand to be recognized at the closing ceremonies of the project, Kjargaard quickly said no, realizing that only a handful a people would be left sitting.
“It was that kind of level of participation, and I had never seen that before,” she said.
The men and women of Mission Builders come from all backgrounds and professions to travel at their own expense to a build site. One out of six has a strong background in construction management and takes the reigns as project manager, coordinating the subcontractors hired by the congregation to tackle plumbing, electrical, and heating and air conditioning installations.
The rest of the Mission Builders work alongside parishioners to frame, put up trusses, install windows and siding and, finally, enclose the structure.
Nine out of 10 Mission Builders live in their own RVs on the construction site, while the rest are usually hosted by someone from the congregation. Many sign on for a whole summer of work, as a typical project takes about five months to complete, although some donate a week of their time each summer to help with a nearby build, Graves said.
Many Mission Builders, especially the spouses who can’t do heavy lifting, get involved in the greater community in which they’re working, volunteering at food pantries, helping at the church’s preschool and more.
Instead, being a Mission Builder is about playing a role in the spiritual growth of others by building their faith, one structure at a time.
Being a Mission Builder is about playing a role in the spiritual growth of others by building their faith, one structure at a time.
But more help is needed. Looking ahead to 2018 and 2019, Mission Builders has three times as many projects available as they do workers to build them, Graves said.

The Khmer Rouge held power in Cambodia from 1975 to 1979 and aggressively pursued a policy of radical social reform that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Cambodians through mass executions and physical privation. In January 1979, the government was overthrown by former Khmer Rouge functionaries, with substantial backing from the army of Vietnam. In August of that year a special court, the People's Revolutionary Tribunal, was constituted to try two of the Khmer Rouge government's most powerful leaders, Pol Pot and Ieng Sary. The charge against them was genocide as it was defined in the United Nation's genocide convention of 1948. At the time, both men were in the Cambodian jungle leading the Khmer Rouge in a struggle to regain power; they were, therefore, tried in absentia.
Genocide in Cambodia assembles documents from this historic trial and contains extensive reports from the People's Revolutionary Tribunal. The book opens with essays that discuss the nature of the primary documents, and places the trial in its historical, legal, and political context. The documents are divided into three parts: those relating to the establishment of the tribunal; those used as evidence, including statements of witnesses, investigative reports of mass grave sites, expert opinions on the social and cultural impact of the actions of Pol Pot and Ieng Sary, and accounts from the foreign press; and finally the record of the trial, beginning with the prosecutor's indictment and ending with the concluding speeches by the attorneys for the defense and prosecution.
The trial of Pol Pot and Ieng Sary was the world's first genocide trial based on United Nations's policy as well as the first trial of a head of government on a human rights-related charge. This documentary record is significant for the history of Cambodia, and it will be of the highest importance as well to the international legal and human rights communities.

Vehicle Stalled Causing a Car Accident. Who is at Fault?
A vehicle stalled causing a car accident near Spokane last week. Troopers say a teenage driver’s vehicle stalled when he was attempting to cross the highway. When the vehicle got started again, it jolted forward into traffic t-boning an oncoming car. The driver of the car was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the stalled vehicle and the passengers of the car were taken to the hospital for injuries. This car accident remains under investigation.
When your vehicle stalled causing a car accident, is it your fault? The answer to this question depends on the situation. Let’s say your car stalls in the driving lane and you get rear ended. Typically, the driver who hit you would be at fault for not leaving enough driving distance. However, the driver of the stalled vehicle may be found partially at fault for creating a road hazard. As a good rule of thumb, always keep a safe distance between you and the car in front of you and be aware always. By traveling at a speed that will allow you to brake suddenly and have time to stop, you can stay safe. Anything can happen in a matter of seconds. The best way to avoid a car accident is to stay alert and react properly.
If your vehicle stalled causing a car accident you need legal assistance from personal injury attorney, Mat Parke. Mat has handled many cases involving cars with mechanical issues that caused a car accident. He can get you the help and compensation you deserve. As a personal injury attorney, Mat can review the claims against your case and review the police report to determine who is at fault.

My family is big on traditions. Some have been passed down for generations, some were forgotten for a few years and then started back up again, and some are my parents' doing that we've done since we were little. The one tradition my dad has passed down that he is very adamant about takes place during the holiday season. It was his mother's tradition, and after she passed away when he was in his 20's, it was something he knew he wanted to keep passing down.
He gets Bayberry candles and sometime during the holiday season, we each have to burn the candle in our homes. It brings happiness, wealth and good luck. The only catch is that you can't burn the candle out--it has to keep burning all at one time until it is fully melted. Hazardous, maybe, but something I know I will continue doing and will be sure to pass down to my kids.
Before I started dating Chris, I had never heard of the well-known tradition of eating Black-Eyed Peas on New Year's Day for good luck. Since this is something his family has done and continues to do to this day, we have started doing it as well. Last year we forgot until last minute and just took spoonfuls of beans out of a can to say we at least had our share. This year, we remembered early and I wanted to make something to mask the taste of the beans (we aren't huge fans). This dip was perfect and I can definitely see myself eating it on occasions other than New Year's. It resembles a Mexican dip, which is fine by me!
Happy 2012 to you all and I hope you have a happy and blessed year!
Spread into a 9-inch pie dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
*Note: if you have them available, you can use the canned black-eyed peas and jalapenos (they're canned together.) If you do this, you can omit the extra jalapenos. | 2019-04-20T12:12:00 | http://www.the-savvy-kitchen.com/2012/01/black-eyed-pea-dip.html |

I installed ESXi 6.5 over an ESXi 5.1 host. The disks' datastores remained intact, but no VMs exist in inventory. When I browse a datastore and add a VM to inventory, the VM's icon in the inventory list appears faded, like it is disabled. When I power on the VM, nothing happens. When I try to power off the VM, I get an error that the VM is already powered off. The VM appears to be corrupted.
When I deploy a UVF template, it takes way too long (an hour instead of 6 minutes).
I'm a little frustrated; I tried this on a nested ESXi host and the VMs all worked fine. No problems.
Am I doing something wrong? Should I go back to 5.1?
VSphere Client no longer supported.
You must use the host client direct to host or Web Client if you have vCenter.
Did you have problems with the host client and 6.0? I am currently on the free version and plan to go to the web client this summer.
I went back to 5.1. Thanks. | 2019-04-24T09:02:49 | https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/29008059/ESXi-5-1-to-6-5-problems-when-add-VMs-to-inventory.html |

When I heard the Dean of UCLA Anderson mention Moonwalking with Einstein, I was caught off guard. The title was definitely unusual, and I had no idea what it was about. I knew it was about memory and psychology, and I figured it was worth a shot.
I was definitely in for a treat. The book follows the story of the author, who was a journalist in his twenties and got randomly into the "memory training circuit" and decided to give the techniques a shot by trying to see how well he could improve his memory. He ended up doing quite well: winning the US Memory Championship and making a lot of deep friendships with Mental Athletes (MAs) around the world.
Below are my main notes on the text. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in psychology, memory, and general displays of awesomeness and freakish nature.
Simonides developed "method of loci"
Normal people: the "curve of forgetting"
Cabbies' brains changed and reorganized to adapt to job; "neural plasticity"
K. Erickson developed "skilled memory theory"
Erickson studied experts. Found it takes 10,000 hours of training to become expert that can process enormous information in sophisticated ways and get past "magic 7" number (short-term memory limit).
"Topic" comes from Greek word for "place"
That's the root of the phrase "in the first place"
Now, we remember very little because of calendar, GPS, photo albums, speed dial, etc.
Run on autopilot at some point: "okay plateau"
Is all this a form of mental peacocking or useful?
Thanks for the synopsis of the book with notes. I, too, am enjoying the book thoroughly and making notes for myself. Just wanted to say thanks is all.
Nice work! thanks for the notes! | 2019-04-25T04:09:37 | http://www.maxmednik.com/blog/notes-on-moonwalking-with-einstein |
"Scarlett Martin has grown up in a most unusual way. Her family owns the Hopewell, a small hotel in the heart of New York City. When the Martins turn fifteen, they are each expected to take over the care of a suite in the once elegant, now shabby Art Deco hotel. For Scarlett’s fifteenth birthday, she gets both a room called the Empire Suite, and a permanent guest named Mrs. Amberson. Scarlett doesn’t quite know what to make of this C-list starlet, world traveler, and aspiring autobiographer who wants to take over her life. And when she meets Eric, an astonishingly gorgeous actor who has just moved to the city, her summer takes a second unexpected turn."
"Ever since Mrs. Amberson, the former-aspiring-actress-turned-agent, entered Scarlett Martin's life, nothing has been the same.
In the midst of all this, her parents drop a bombshell that threatens to change her New York life forever..."
Maureen Johnson is so good at bringing her characters to life that, did I not know any better, I would think they actually live in an old hotel in New York. I'm always impressed by people that can take every day situations and completely entertain me with them. And Maureen is an expert. She is also an expert at relationships. It's not many people who can make me care more that the sister and brother make up after a fight than the main girl and love interest. And she does just this. My stomach hurt when poor Scarlett was fighting with her brother in book 1.
These books are fun, smart, and a great read.
I'll have to check these out. I've been in a mood for contemporaries lately. | 2019-04-23T02:28:46 | http://www.kasiewest.com/2011/02/wednesday-review-one-day-late.html |
The Xbox One comes with a tremendous controller included by default – it’s easily one of the best gamepads ever made, and has the added perk of working for PC games too.
Still, that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement, and if you’re looking to replace your controller – or just grab a second for multiplayer – you’ve got plenty of great options, both from Microsoft and from third-party manufacturers.
And if you’re looking for some great games to make the most of your new controller, check out our pick of the best Xbox One games.
Sure, if you own an Xbox One then you already have one of these controllers, but let’s be clear – they’re great, and if you’re looking for a second pad for multiplayer or to replace a broken controller, they’re the obvious choice.
Even better, Microsoft now offers the controllers in a huge range of different colours, including some two-tone setups and even a pair of Minecraft designs, so you don’t have to go for the basic white or black either.
Plus, it’s been continually tweaking and improving the controller, so if you buy one now it might be better than your original controller, with increased wireless range, Bluetooth support, and a standard 3.5mm headphone jack.
If you’re looking for a unique official Xbox One controller, your best bet is to head to Microsoft’s Xbox Design Lab. The service allows you to design your own custom Xbox One controller, changing the colour and finish of everything from the body of the controller to the triggers, D-Pad and analogue sticks. Want a grey controller with red highlights? That’s possible. Purple and blue with gold analogue sticks? Yep, that’s possible too.
In fact, there’s over 1 billion colour combinations available on Microsoft’s Xbox Design Lab. Ordering is an easy process too, as all your customisation options (colours, materials, engraving, grips, etc) will be mapped onto a virtual Xbox One controller on-screen. This allows you to visualise the controller, making sure you get the perfect colour combination before you click the buy button.
If you want something unique but aren’t creative yourself, don’t worry – Microsoft also has a range of pre-made Design Lab controllers for just about every occasion. And like the standard controller, the Design Lab controllers feature Bluetooth connectivity and is powered by 2 AA batteries.
The controllers don’t do anything that the standard controller can’t, but they do look amazing.
The price may give you pause for thought, but if you’re looking for an extra competitive edge online or simply want to tweak the finer details of your gaming experience, there’s good reason to consider the upgrade.
Alongside the slick black-and-chrome finish, the Elite controller boasts Hair Trigger Locks for faster firing in shooters, additional paddles on the back for more control options, and fully interchangeable control sticks and D-pad.
Swapping the control stick or D-pad is dead easy – the parts are magnetic, so all you have to do is pull them off and snap on the replacements. You can remap the controls for even more flexibility, and it comes with its own carry case with space for the controller itself and all the interchangeable components.
It all comes in an attractive black and chrome finish, and has a grippy texture – ideal for long or intense gaming sessions. You can also use it wirelessly, or wired using the included braided USB cable.
The only downside? It still feels silly to be paying over £100/$100 and getting a controller that relies on AA batteries – it’s a real shame Microsoft hasn’t invested in a rechargeable battery.
The Evil Shift from Evil Controllers is one of our favourite eSports-level controllers on the market at the moment. Why? It’s mainly due to the unique design of the paddle system, which makes using the remappable paddles a breeze.
Due to the shape and the fact that the paddles are mounted directly on top of the activator buttons, a tap – from any angle – will activate the paddle. As well as providing improved response time, it also responds to almost-missed presses (even a tap on the side of the paddle will activate it).
They’re remappable too, using one of the simplest systems we’ve seen to date – when you want to remap, simply hold the View button and the paddle you’d like to remap, press the button you’d like to assign and you’re good to go! No app or other accessories required.
Aside from the paddles, the controller features hairpin triggers. They’re not adjustable like other controllers, but the trigger tension has been reduced by 50 percent without restricting the trigger. This provides increased reaction time without limiting game compatibility – an issue with some restricted triggers.
You’ll also find sensitive buttons that, thanks to the company’s ‘Quick Touch Technology’, provide improved response time with less required force and a satisfying mouse-like click.
Oh, the controller also offers interchangeable thumbsticks (three sizes to provide increased analogue stick accuracy) and a range of soft-touch finishes to choose from.
Scuf is arguably the leader in custom controllers, especially in the eSports world where professional gamers need the best performance possible from their controllers. On the surface, Scuf offers everything that Microsoft’s Design Lab offers – custom triggers, body, buttons, analogue sticks, etc – and much, much more.
First up, all Scuf Infinity1 controllers feature a patented paddle system as standard, providing a quick and comfortable way to react to evolving combat situations without taking your thumbs off the analogue sticks. Electro-magnetic remapping enables you to change the paddle functions on-the-fly with the use of an EMR key, allowing you to fully customise your controller layout on a per-game basis.
You can also switch out the analogue sticks with Scuf’s Infinity Ring and Lock system. An included accessory is used to quickly remove the analogue sticks from the controller, allowing you to change the design of the stick (domed, concave, etc) or replace old, worn sticks.
The crowning glory for any budding eSports player should be Scuf’s adjustable hair trigger mechanism and trigger stop. This allows you to customise the tension and position of the triggers to get the best performance possible. You can also add a trigger stop, allowing the trigger to return to its initial position faster than conventional controllers.
These adjustments may only save a fraction of a second, but it can be the difference between life and death in competitive online gaming.
You can’t actually buy it yet (though pre-orders have started for a September 2018 release) but Microsoft’s official Adaptive Controller is one of the most exciting game controllers in years – even if the majority of gamers will never feel the need to use one.
Designed to improve accessibility to gaming for people who might find a traditional controller difficult, or even impossible, to use, the Adaptive Controller started life as a collaboration with a charity that was building custom devices to help military veterans keep gaming.
The core device features an over-size D-pad and two large buttons, designed to be easy to roll your hand or limb across. Beyond that though, there’s a whopping 21 inputs across the top and sides of the device – a mixture of USB and 3.5mm ports, making it compatible with a whole range of devices – which you can use to connect up any number of separate buttons, pad, controllers, pedals and more, for your own entirely customised gaming setup.
Each input defaults to a specific button on the traditional Xbox pad, but the inputs can also be switched around on a software level, and you can save up to three different input profiles to switch between on the fly, so that you can use different control schemes for different games without having to change the physical connections.
Then there’s also the new copilot mode, which lets you share inputs with another controller, so that two people can play a game together as the same character, each taking care of different controls.
There are threaded mounts on the base, designed to suit standard assistive mounts, along with a rechargeable battery with around 25 hours of life. This is a great example of Microsoft’s attention to detail: it uses USB-C as an input because the reversible design makes it much easier to use, and it avoids the fiddliness of replacing AA batteries.
That’s what the Adaptive Controller is all about. Just about every design choice tries to work around the sticking points that make controllers tough for people who are missing limbs or have mobility or coordination issues, while adding enough customisability to let every gamer make the controller their own.
Microsoft is expanding its already broad range of Xbox One controllers with a limited edition Tech Series, featuring a variety of different controller variants with slightly different innards, aesthetics, and inspirations.
First out of the gate is the Recon Tech Special Edition. “Inspired by military technology and performance patterns,” the chief technical innovation is that it supposedly boasts up to twice the wireless range of previous Xbox One pads, along with the now-standard Bluetooth so that you can connect up to a PC, Mac, or tablet too.
There’s also a textured diamond rubberized grip on the back of the controller to make it more comfortable for extended gameplay sessions, while the front boasts a gold accented design that doesn’t exactly scream ‘military recon’, but does look pretty cool.
If the price of the Xbox Elite controller makes you wince, you might want to give the Horipad Pro a look. It’s not as slick, it’s not as glossy, and it’s not as customisable, but it offers some of the same functionality at a cheaper price than even the default Xbox One pad.
The Horipad boasts four extra trigger buttons on the back that you can quickly assign functions to, using them as a convenient way to access the face buttons without taking your thumb off the right control stick. You can also use them together with the D-pad to mute your mic or adjust headset volume through the in-built 3.5mm jack.
It’s strictly wired (though that means no battery woes) and includes rumble. Build quality is generally pretty high (and the D-pad is a clear improvement on the Xbox One default), though it’s definitely built for smaller hands. Overall, it’s a solid choice for any competitive players who can’t stretch their budget as far as the Elite. | 2019-04-20T20:39:37 | https://www.prosyscom.tech/gaming-news/best-xbox-one-controllers-of-2018-tech-news/ |

Vampyr, the upcoming action-RPG from DONTNOD Entertainment, explores tortured protagonist Dr. Jonathan Reid’s growth in power through savage combat gameplay in today’s Becoming the Monster gameplay trailer. By sacrificing the very citizens Reid swore to protect, players will learn and evolve powerful vampire abilities in their struggle to defeat London’s deadly foes. Vampyr releases June 5 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with preorders now available.
In Vampyr, the greatest source of XP to learn and enhance abilities comes from the blood of London’s citizens, who Dr. Jonathan Reid has set out to save from the epidemic sweeping through the city. The question is less “Do I kill?” than “Who do I kill?” Investigating citizens’ lives will allow Reid to decide who is more ‘deserving’ of sacrifice – or he can simply give in to his hunger and treat the mortals as blood bags. Either way, killing certain citizens will have a greater impact on the local ecosystem than others, while simply killing too many may cause an entire district to collapse.
After draining the blood of his victims, Reid can learn and evolve powerful combat abilities. Close combat abilities allow Reid to close gaps quickly, pouncing from afar before slashing with deadly claws, while others such as Bloodspear allow him to deal damage from a distance. At the higher levels of power, some abilities are feared by even the vampires themselves. Abyss allows Reid to unleash the shadows from within, while Rage targets and strikes entire groups of enemies with a terrible fury. Learning and evolving these abilities will aid in the doctor’s quest to save London – but at what cost? | 2019-04-22T00:16:45 | http://focus-home.com/en/news/1539-feed-and-evolve-in-vampyrs-action-filled-new-gameplay-trailer |
What: Down-home diner food done awfully good.
The dish: There’s something so welcoming and comforting about a good ol’ down home neighborhood diner. And Santa Barbara’s got a true little gem, tucked away at the end of the Loreto Plaza extension. Not unlike a certain Boston bar of TV yore, folks working here really do know their customers’ name as they have kept coming back again and again for decades. Five decades to be exact, as Farmer Boy is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
In the mood for an omelet? Seventy-five tempt you from the menu, and, trust me, you’ll be hard pressed to pick just one. I recommend the olive oil omelet, but if you are brave enough, you just might try the chef’s surprise, which is stuffed with everything but the kitchen sink. A plethora of pancakes, waffles, various takes on French Toast, and breakfast burritos tempt you as well. However, you can’t leave without ordering one of their fresh made cinnamon rolls. Also, don’t forget they serve some rib stickin’ good lunches too, including chicken fried steak.
Go on in, pull up a seat at the counter or a booth, and enjoy delicious, homespun Americana, Santa Barbarian style. | 2019-04-18T21:30:46 | https://www.independent.com/2008/09/04/farmer-boy-restaurant/ |
As solicitors you should continually think about the importance of protecting and maintaining your, and your practice's, reputation. This increasingly includes the recognition that any presence online plays a significant part in shaping that reputation.
Your online reputation, whether personal or corporate, can be damaged in a number of ways. The speed at which information can spread online potentially affects reputations at a quicker pace than ever before.
You/your practice should take steps to ensure that you portray a positive online reputation and the hard work spent in building up your reputation 'offline' is not compromised in any way by what happens online.
All solicitors, particularly those engaging in online activity on behalf of their practice. It will also be of interest to a practice's marketing staff (if applicable).
monitoring your online reputation .
Whether or not you/your practice has directly engaged in online activity to date, it is becoming increasingly commonplace for those who are interested in your services to interact in this way and it may be that others have already posted content about you/your practice.
You/your practice should consider actively monitoring your online reputation - if you do not control your reputation online, others will.
If you act to control your 'brand' online you will not be leaving yourself vulnerable to others, whether by criticism or other comments, doing it for you. Generally, being active in communicating online with clients and potential clients to get links, 'likes' and comments will assist in building your reputation, as well as establishing expertise and attracting clients. If critical or negative comments are made about you/your practice any existing presence is likely to dilute such comments.
This guidance includes information both about how to build a reputation online and factors to consider if responding to criticism online. In undertaking online activities you should always consider and observe your legal and professional obligations.
You should take a thoughtful and strategic approach to build and manage your online reputation.
If for the first time a client or employee searches for your name online, or that of your practice, what do you want them to see?
How can you build up a presence online that reflects your own brand?
Can you speak with 'one voice' or do you need to segment target audiences?
You may consider how any approach to online activity fits into your practice's wider business plan and any additional resourcing implications; it is important that any online presence is maintained and monitored and that time is set aside to do this.
You/your practice should consider whether to put a policy in place to broadly define the boundaries of online activity and guidelines for engagement.
This may not be appropriate for smaller practices. If this is the case, an alternative would be to consider selecting one person to oversee online activity.
protect your practice's reputation from inappropriate online activity, both within the practice but also from outside, for example via third party websites that you/your practice has little control over.
Our social media practice note considers in more detail what could be included in a policy.
You/your practice should ensure that employees are aware of any plan or policy that is in place. This may include providing clear guidance and instructions to any employees actively engaged in developing, or monitoring, online activity.
You/your practice should also think about how to monitor who is operating, and has access to, a practice's online profile eg the practice's website, corporate social media accounts etc.
Even if employees do not engage in a practice's online activity, do not assume that it is not necessary for these individuals to be covered by your practice's policy. For example, social media channels will be used by employees for personal use and you may wish to make it clear, if work or work-related subjects are mentioned in a personal capacity, what is acceptable.
making sure that it is accessible and can be used by individuals using assistive technology (see our practice note on Equality and diversity requirements: SRA Handbook for more information).
Your domain name should include the name of your practice ('domain names' are unique names used to identify websites and emails, for example lawsociety.org.uk is an example of a domain name).
You are able to register variants of your top level domain name (for example .com, .co.uk, .biz, .info) to reduce the risk of them being registered by third parties for misuse but please note that there may be a cost to maintaining multiple variations of a domain name.
If you engage a website developer to assist you in this area, you may discuss ensuring that your IP rights are appropriately protected.
If your website can be found in the major search engines results pages this will help to raise your profile and you should think about ensuring your website is visible in this way. If you are not already listed, the easiest way to get listed is to submit your website directly to the search engines. You may consider doing this for the two main search engines; Google and Bing.
You may also submit your practice to Google My Business, Google's local business listings. Having a listing means that your practice may appear marked on a map when people search for relevant services in their area. If you do this remember to regularly review and update your information. Please note - Google My Business will allow verified users to rate and review your business.
It may be worth thinking about 'rich snippets', which are the few lines of text that appear under every search result. These are designed to give users a sense of what's on the page and why it is relevant to their query. Guidelines on rich snippets can be found in Google's support pages.
Social media channels can be used to raise your profile online and assist you in building a reputation for quality and expertise. Our social media practice note has full information on using social media.
Even if you decide not to use social media channels such as Twitter or Facebook, you may consider registering your practice name with them to prevent it being registered by third parties.
Writing blogs around your areas of expertise or contributing as a guest blogger to other popular blogs can help to raise your profile online. You may wish to think about linking all blogs back to your main website and whether disclaimers may be appropriate, for example, if views expressed are personal and not representative of your practice.
asking partner businesses or clients to link to you.
Raising your profile in this way is called 'link building' and it can take time to see improvements in ranking. Google provides a Search engine optimisation starter guide' (PDF).

Absolut Vodka have for years led the innovation in vodka packaging, with limited edition packs like Absolut Disco, Absolut Rock and Absolut Illusion. For 2012, it was time to redefine limited editions in itself.
This activity changed the game in the vodka category. It moved the consumer from choosing between Absolut Vodka and 4000 other vodka bottles, to choosing between four million bottles of Absolut Vodka. In more than 100 countires around the world, ordinary consumers as well as brand fans and collectors, have searched for their favorite Absolut Unique bottle. Many shoppers bought several, because they look good together, and the media loved to tell the story. Ant the consumers tweeted, instagrammed, facebook and had lots of fun. | 2019-04-19T10:51:41 | https://inewsdesign.com/2013/09/19/absolut-unique/ |
A while ago, one afternoon when life was getting me down, I headed out to the shed, grabbed the nearest bike and raided the parts bin. The result was this here Sun GT10 road bike with original 10 speed drivetrain (downtube shifters and everything), modern Charge Slice bullhorn handlebars and carbon fibre Cane Creek 200TT brake levers.
And so, as is the way with these things, I took it out for a shakedown ride and pretty much scared myself half to death… those vintage brakes just don’t have the stopping power I like to have at my fingertips.
That, along with the amber wall tyres, saved me from falling in love with it and before long, it went up for sale… there was only one problem, nobody actually wanted to buy it.
“Would you consider trading it?” somebody asked me.
“Yes, yes I would.” I said.
And this went on for some time… yadda yadda yadda until eventually, the Sun went off to its new home and I took ownership of a shamlessly bright Carrera Epic road bike. Readers of a nervous disposition should look away now.
With a bright green & pink two-tone frame, 14 speed drivetrain and elliptical Shimano Biopace chainrings, I suppose this bike qualifies as ‘retro’.
Readers of an even more (or less) nervous disposition should certainly look away now!
There I was, gazing at the bike and wondering what on earth to do with it, and I had a moment of either sheer brilliance or sheer madness… you decide which.
I grabbed a set of flat mountain bike bars, invested in a set of BMX brake levers*, some Gussett BMX handlebar grips and a pink, pink, pink Charge Bucket saddle. Oh, and I did all the usual stuff you should expect from one of my bikes – I trued the wheels, made sure the bottom bracket & headset were correctly adjusted, replaced all the cables, put the tyres on the right way around(!) and adjusted the brakes so they were perfectly centered on the rims.
I still can’t say I like it very much… it’s just not my style but at least it’s finally quirky enough!
If you like it, you like somewhere near Manchester and you have £200 (or close to it) burning a hole in your pocket, drop me a line at jimmy.phoenix@yahoo.co.uk and she’s all yours.
* today’s lifeinthecyclelane top tip – BMX brake levers have exactly the same amount of cable pull as road bike brake levers so if you’re looking to convert to flat bars, BMX levers are an inexpensive solution! | 2019-04-22T12:02:43 | https://lifeinthecyclelane.wordpress.com/category/hints-tips/ |
Hearing loss and kidney disease have been connected. Hearing loss is a potential side effect of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) that most people don’t know about. Since CKD affects more than 10% of Americans, it’s important to be informed, if not for yourself, but for friends and family.
First of all, because the tissues of the kidney and the inner ear are similar and share a common metabolic function, problems that affect kidney function can also damage the inner ear. High blood pressure, diabetes and a family history of CKD can increase your risk of developing kidney problems. High blood pressure can cause CKD and CKD can cause high blood pressure! Diabetes can cause damage to many organs in your body including the kidneys, heart, blood vessels and the inner ear. Even a history of repeated urinary tract infections can cause damage to the kidneys.
As with any medical condition, knowledge is power! It’s better to be proactive for you or loved ones and be evaluated by a physician for CKD and a Doctor of Audiology for a hearing test—early intervention is key! According to a Kidney Foundation survey, over half of those with moderate kidney disease have some hearing loss, and more than a third have severe to profound hearing loss.
When you think about it, the shape of a kidney and the shape of an ear are very similar….hmmmm!
Obviously chronic kidney disease is a serious health issue and should be treated as such. It is important though to understand other health issues that can arise from this type of disease.
If you have any questions on this subject, please let us know. | 2019-04-22T06:48:32 | http://www.hearingrehabcenter.com/blog/hearing-loss-and-kidney-disease.cfm |

At Newark City Schools, we believe that parental involvement is essential for children to succeed in school and we encourage all parents to become participants in their child’s educational journey.
Helping a child reach full potential is a big job, and we can’t do it all alone. We need your help. Parents are an essential part of a child’s education. Extensive research shows that children whose parents are involved in the education process learn more and learn faster than those whose parents who are not involved.
So we ask all parents to support their children in school and to make sure they understand that school is important. One way to do that is to volunteer in our schools by assisting in the classroom, organizing the book drive or joining the school's parent teacher organization. No matter what you do, it makes a difference. Most of all, we appreciate you donating your time. | 2019-04-18T23:18:20 | http://www.newarkcityschools.org/Parents.aspx |
In the past, we have had visitors, workers, and friends write a blog to give another point of view about our life and what we do. This year, William, our eldest son, was interested in knowing what ‘Central Station’ was and what it had to do with our family. Whilst I was trying to explain to him why we were a part of it, I asked him “Would you like to tell people about the things that you do, like, and don’t like about living on a station?”. Being the person that Will is, he said “sure”. So here is our boy’s story for you.
Hi my name is William, but you can call me Will, and I am eight years old. I live on Country Downs Station. It is a big property and we have a couple of thousand head of cattle. I would like to tell you about some of the animals that live on the station. We have three dogs, five cats, three horses, two poddy calves and a poddy goat, nine pigs (five are piglets), a few chooks, and 23 chicks and they are just our pets!
Hi, My name is Will.
I would like to tell you about our poddy goat now. His name is Turd, because he is a little rat! He goes through holes in the fence to get into our back yard. He also eats everything! He chewed our Christmas tree, he ate mum’s plants in the back yard, and he always tried to get in the house and the schoolroom. If he got into the house or school room, he would poo and wee everywhere! That’s why we called him Turd.
These are our poddies. ‘Turd’ the goat is in the bottom of the photo, he never did stay very still.
I would like to tell you about how I do school now. I do School of the Air and so, there are not many other kids in my class. My class has kids from Year Three, Four, and Five with a total of nine kids. When we want to catch up with our friends we go to school camps. At school camps we get to play with all the other kids and we do school work with our teachers. We also get to do other fun stuff like a disco night, a games night, and a movie night. Sometimes we get to do swimming lessons, we also get to see Santa at the end of the year and we do a talent show. It was really funny watching the home tutors and parents do a funny act where they put pillows down granny undies to make them look like they had big butts. Everyone went BOO! But it was really funny and we were all actually laughing.
Doing sport at school camp with other kids from the Kimberley School of the Air.
There are both good things and bad things about doing school of the air. The good things are that the teachers get to come out to our place and a do a home visit. It is really good to see my teachers and to show them around our station. I really like having my Home Tutor, Samara, too because she is really hilarious. Some of the bad things about School of the Air is that I don’t get to see my friends all day and I don’t like doing Maths, English, tests, reading, or writing. I guess I don’t like doing any school work really. We don’t do school in the house or at the kitchen table, we actually have a proper school room, with a maths kit, science box, desks and chairs, art stuff, library books, and a computer. We also have lots of posters and work hanging up and a whiteboard to write on.
My brother, Rory, and I doing maths in the schoolroom.
On the weekends, I can go and play on the computers in the schoolroom, but I also go and ride my bike around the homestead yard, climb up cars and trees. Sometimes I get to help muster the Senepol cattle on the motorbike. That is a lot of fun.
I hope that you enjoyed my blog and that you now have a better idea of how it would be like to live on a station like Country Downs as a kid. | 2019-04-20T06:42:19 | https://www.centralstation.net.au/being-a-kid-on-a-cattle-station/ |

The famous Union Canal linking Edinburgh with Falkirk and Glasgow is this year celebrating its 200th birthday.
The first turf was cut in Edinburgh to begin construction of the Union Canal on 3 March 1818.
When there were no major roads between Scotland’s largest cities, the canal was the motorway of its day, and the 31.5 mile canal took four years to complete at a final cost of £461,760 and was a contour canal with no locks until it reached Falkirk.
This engineering marvel includes three masonry aqueducts, one of which remains the second biggest in Britain, and Scotland’s only canal tunnel at that time.
The Union Canal has seen many fluctuations in its fortunes over the past 200 years, before the voluntary sector came to its rescue to play a pivotal role in its restoration for the millennium, and a continuing life on the canal for years to come.
The canal is now important part of Scottish heritage, and provides a recreational and tourist attraction that many envy, but few have on their doorstep.
The occasion is being marked by a series of celebratory public events along the length of the canal, being coordinated by a number of the voluntary Societies and organisations whose interests and activities were fundamental in the restoration and re-opening of the canal and the subsequent ongoing maintenance, ensuring the canal continues to function today as an important local facility and tourist attraction.
The Lowland Canals Volunteer Group was formed to further the work of the voluntary sector on our canals, and includes each of the Canal Societies, Social Enterprises, Scottish Waterways Trust, Lowland Canals Association and Scottish Canals.
Linlithgow Union Canal Society was formed in 1975 when the Union Canal was derelict, and blocked in a number of locations. The society is still 100% run by volunteers, bringing life and activity to what is now regarded by many as an important local attraction and facility for Linlithgow, West Lothian and beyond.
The Bridge 19-40 Union Canal Society, based around Broxburn and Winchburgh, one of the smallest and friendliest canal societies on the Scottish Lowland Canals, takes its name from the section of the Union Canal upon which it operates. Through use of their boats they aim to encourage the people living in the communities along the canal to take an interest in the canal and help maintain it as a pleasant amenity for boating, walking, cycling or fishing.
The Edinburgh Canal Society’s main base is Ashley Terrace Boathouse at Lockhart Bridge, near Harrison Park in the Polwarth area of Edinburgh. In partnership with the other canal societies on the Scottish Lowland Canals, Edinburgh Canal Society campaigned for many years to have the Union Canal rebuilt, refurbished and re-opened.
Re-Union Canal Boats is a registered charity and social enterprise established in 2004 based in Edinburgh at Lochrin Basin and Lock 16 in Falkirk. Re-Union offer a combination of volunteering projects and activities including health and wellbeing, RYA training and lock keeping, as well as selling trips on their wide beam canal boat and day boat to the general public. Re-Union co-ordinate the Edinburgh Canal Festival which this year is being held on 16 June 2018.
Founded in 1978, Seagull Trust Cruises offers free cruises on Scotland’s canals for people with special needs. A completely voluntary charity, cruises run from branches at Ratho near Edinburgh, Falkirk, Kirkintilloch and Highland at Inverness. | 2019-04-23T20:12:32 | https://www.scottishfield.co.uk/news/all-set-to-celebrate-200-years-of-the-union-canal/ |

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is associated with risk of acute on chronic liver failure (ACLF). Current guidelines recommend primary and secondary antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with cirrhosis and ascites who are at risk of a first episode and to prevent recurrence, respectively. Factors associated with prophylaxis failure leading to SBP, ACLF, and increased mortality are not well established. Gram-positive and multidrug-resistant organisms have become more frequently associated with SBP, particularly in the setting of ACLF. Efforts to understand how long-term antibiotic therapy may affect individual risk of SBP in this population will be critical to developing optimal preventive strategies.

Arriving to meet behind closed doors with Senate Republicans, ABC News’ Mary Bruce asked President Trump to share his message for Americans who may be worried about their health care.
A coalition of Republican-led states filed a lawsuit in Texas last year against the federal government, arguing that Congress’ decision to eliminate the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate penalty — a fee Americans paid if they didn’t enroll in some form of health insurance coverage — should render the entire law invalid.
“Once the heart of the ACA — the individual mandate — is declared unconstitutional, the remainder of the ACA must also fall,” according to the lawsuit.
The outcome of the case could translate into an abrupt and disruptive turn in the nation’s health care system. Some 8.8 million people signed up for a plan on Healthcare.gov for the 2018 coverage year.
Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar — who supported the lawsuit — has insisted that the administration has a “plan B” to protect people with pre-existing conditions if the court strikes down the entire health care law, commonly known as Obamacare. | 2019-04-25T17:08:41 | https://lendingresolution.com/latest-news/justice-department-sides-with-lower-court-says-obamacare-should-be-struck-down/ |
CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Bank of America Corporation today reported first-quarter 2008 net income declined to $1.21 billion from $5.26 billion a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share fell 80 percent to $0.23 from $1.16 in the same period in 2007.
"Despite revenue growth in most of our businesses, these results clearly did not meet our expectations," said Kenneth D. Lewis, chairman and chief executive officer. "The weakness in the economy and prolonged disruptions in the capital markets took their toll on our performance. That said, we are continuing to invest in growth initiatives across the company, and believe our core strengths - including our diverse income stream, liquidity and capital - put us in a strong position to withstand the jolts to the system and emerge even stronger when conditions improve."
With regard to the outlook for the U.S. economy, Lewis noted that gross domestic product (GDP) growth is expected to be minimal at best in the second quarter, with a slight pickup in the second half of the year.
"Our earnings power from our core business activities is strong and growing," Lewis added. "We are bringing innovative new products to market, taking market share and expanding customer relationships across the company. Nevertheless, we remain concerned about the health of the consumer given the prolonged housing slump, subprime issues, employment levels and higher fuel and food prices."
Provision expense increased by $4.78 billion from a year-ago, to $6.01 billion due to rising credit costs - particularly in the home equity, small business and homebuilder portfolios - including a $3.30 billion increase to the reserve.
Trading-related losses were $1.31 billion compared with income of $1.66 billion a year earlier, driven primarily by $1.47 billion in writedowns of collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) and $439 million in writedowns of leveraged loans. Trading-related losses were $5.15 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007, which included CDO-related writedowns of $5.28 billion.
Total retail sales increased 10 percent to 13 million products, driven by strong growth in checking and savings, debit and online banking. Net new retail checking accounts grew 14 percent or by 557,000. Key contributors of growth include free Online Checking and our Affinity and Group Banking products. Additionally 45 percent of new checking account openings participated in Keep the Change(TM), Bank of America's savings program that combines debit cards and deposit products.
Total average retail deposits increased $51 billion, or 11 percent, on solid increases in certificates of deposit and consumer checking accounts and the addition of U.S. Trust and LaSalle. Debit card purchase volume increased 15 percent.
Direct-to-consumer mortgage originations in the quarter rose 32 percent, resulting in the highest quarter since 2003, as low mortgage rates in January spurred refinancing activity.
Within Global Wealth and Investment Management, loans rose 30 percent and deposits increased 29 percent, including the impact of the U.S. Trust and LaSalle acquisitions.
The integration of U.S. Trust and LaSalle remains on schedule. In May, U.S. Trust is scheduled to convert trust, custody and investment management accounts for legacy U.S. Trust clients to the Bank of America platform, and LaSalle will convert to the Bank of America brand, providing LaSalle customers with even greater access to Bank of America products and services. The Countrywide acquisition is still expected to close in the third quarter of 2008.
The $0 Online Equity Trades initiative resulted in more than 20,000 net new self-directed accounts.
Mobile Banking recorded approximately 224,000 activations reaching 840,000 active customers.
Keep the Change(TM) reached 8 million net new enrollments since inception, with 974,000 customers alone signing up in the first quarter.
(2) Results shown are defined by Global Wealth and Investment Management's calculation of the percentage of assets under management in the top two quartiles of categories based on Morningstar as of March 31, 2008. The category percentile rank was calculated by ranking the one and three year net returns of share classes within the categories. The assets of the number of funds within the top 2 quartile results were added and then divided by Columbia Management's total equity fund assets under management. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. The share class earning the ranking may have limited eligibility and may not be available to all investors.
(3) Barron's, February 4, 2008. Rankings for the five year period include performance of Excelsior Funds that were acquired by Bank of America Corporation from U.S. Trust on July 1, 2007. For additional important information, please refer to the end of the text section of this press release.
Revenue net of interest expense on a fully taxable-equivalent basis declined 6 percent to $17.30 billion from $18.48 billion in the first quarter a year earlier.
Net interest income on a fully taxable-equivalent basis rose 20 percent to $10.29 billion from $8.60 billion in the first quarter of 2007 on strong loan growth; an increase from market-based net interest income; and the addition of LaSalle. The increase was partially offset by higher funding costs. The net interest yield improved 12 basis points to 2.73 percent.
Noninterest income declined 29 percent to $7.01 billion from $9.89 billion a year earlier. Increases in service charges, card income, mortgage-banking income and investment and brokerage services were more than offset by trading account losses and lower other income related to CDO writedowns. Equity investment income remained essentially unchanged as the gain from the Visa, Inc. initial public offering was offset by reductions in Principal Investing gains.
Noninterest expense was relatively flat compared to a year earlier as lower personnel expenses and the reversal of litigation costs related to Visa were offset by modest increases in most other expense categories. Pretax merger and restructuring charges related to acquisitions were $170 million compared with $111 million a year earlier due to the addition of U.S. Trust and LaSalle.
Credit quality deteriorated from more favorable levels experienced in the first half of 2007. Weak markets, particularly geographic regions that have experienced the most significant home price declines, and the slowing economy resulted in credit deterioration in several portfolios particularly home equity, small business and homebuilders.
Provision expense rose $4.78 billion from the year-ago period mainly because of additions to the allowance for loan and lease losses in consumer and commercial portfolios directly tied to housing. Portfolio seasoning and the impact of a slowing economy on domestic consumer and small business portfolios also drove reserve additions compared with reductions a year earlier from securitization activities and the sale of a portfolio. Net charge-offs increased $1.29 billion from a year ago, also reflecting housing market deterioration and slowing economic conditions.
Provision for credit losses was $6.01 billion, up from $3.31 billion in the fourth quarter of 2007, and $1.24 billion in the first quarter of 2007.
Net charge-offs were $2.72 billion, or 1.25 percent, of total average loans and leases compared with $1.99 billion, or 0.91 percent, in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $1.43 billion, or 0.81 percent, in the first quarter of 2007.
Total managed net losses were $4.14 billion, or 1.69 percent, of total average managed loans and leases compared with $3.31 billion, or 1.34 percent, in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $2.57 billion, or 1.26 percent, in the first quarter of 2007.
Nonperforming assets were $7.83 billion, or 0.90 percent, of total loans, leases and foreclosed properties at quarter-end compared to $5.95 billion, or 0.68 percent, at December 31, 2007 and $2.06 billion, or 0.29 percent, at March 31, 2007. Results for the period ended March 31, 2007 do not include LaSalle.
The allowance for loan and lease losses was $14.89 billion, or 1.71 percent, of loans and leases measured at historical cost, at March 31, 2008. That compared with $11.59 billion, or 1.33 percent, at December 31, 2007 and $8.73 billion, or 1.21 percent, at March 31, 2007. Results for the period ended March 31, 2007 do not include LaSalle.
Total shareholders' equity was $156.31 billion at March 31. Period-end assets were $1.74 trillion. The Tier 1 Capital ratio was 7.51 percent, up from 6.87 percent at December 31, 2007 after the company raised about $13 billion in capital through the issuance of preferred stock in January. The Tier 1 ratio was 8.57 percent in the year ago quarter.
Bank of America paid a cash dividend of $0.64 per share in the quarter. The company also issued about 15 million common shares primarily related to restricted stock activity and did not repurchase any shares. Period-end common shares issued and outstanding were 4.45 billion for the first quarter of 2008 and 4.44 billion for the fourth and first quarters of 2007.
Managed net revenue rose 17 percent as mortgage banking income more than doubled and both card income and service charges increased 14 percent helping generate a 30 percent increase in noninterest income.
Net income fell 59 percent from a year ago, as credit costs rose and expenses increased 10 percent.
The provision for credit losses increased by $4.04 billion to $6.45 billion compared with a year ago. The increase was due to reserve additions for home equity reflecting the impacts of housing weakness and the slowing economy, as well as seasoning of the consumer portfolios and deterioration in the small business portfolio. Net losses increased $1.25 billion to $3.69 billion, reflecting housing market deterioration and weakened economic conditions.
Deposits net revenue declined 4 percent to $4.09 billion as spread compression and competitive pricing of deposits negatively impacted net interest income despite strong average deposit growth of 5 percent. Noninterest expenses increased $327 million, largely due to the acquisition of LaSalle and higher deposit levels and transaction volume, resulting in net income of $995 million, down 25 percent.
Card Services managed net revenue increased 21 percent to $7.33 billion due to 15 percent growth in net interest income and 33 percent growth in non interest income driven by 14 percent growth in average loans and leases, Card Services allocation of the Visa, Inc. IPO gain and higher card income. Net income of $670 million was down 39 percent as the higher net revenue and the reversal of litigation costs related to Visa were more than offset by higher credit costs.
Consumer Real Estate had $1.31 billion in net revenue, a 57 percent increase, as mortgage banking income more than doubled to $656 million. Net income fell to a loss of $773 million due to higher credit costs related to deterioration in the home equity portfolio.
Net revenue decreased 41 percent and net income fell 92 percent on CDO and leveraged finance-related writedowns. Also impacting net income was an increase in credit costs offset in part by a decline in noninterest expense.
The provision for credit losses increased $408 million to $523 million. The impact of the housing market slowdown on the homebuilder loan portfolio drove additions to the credit loss reserves and higher net charge-offs. Higher net charge-offs related to seasoning of the dealer-related retail portfolios, and modest increases in middle market net charge-offs from very low prior year levels also contributed to the increased provision.
Business Lending net revenue increased 22 percent to $1.64 billion due to improvements in net interest income, driven by an increase in average loans and leases of 30 percent due to the acquisition of LaSalle and organic loan growth. Net income declined 27 percent to $337 million as the revenue increase was more than offset by the increase in credit costs.
Capital Markets and Advisory Services had negative net revenue of $621 million compared with net revenue of $2.37 billion a year earlier. This was due primarily to CDO-related losses and writedowns on leveraged loans and commitments. The business had a net loss of $1.10 billion compared with net income of $528 million a year earlier.
Treasury Services net revenue increased 24 percent to $2.14 billion due to its allocation of the gain from the Visa, Inc. IPO and increased service charges. Net income increased 68 percent to $875 million as a result of the increased revenues and due to lower expenses related primarily to the reversal of litigation costs related to Visa.
Net revenue in Global Wealth and Investment Management increased 8 percent. Asset management fees rose 39 percent to $899 million mainly from the addition of U.S. Trust and LaSalle. The increase was offset by a $220 million loss related to support provided to certain cash funds.
Net income declined 54 percent as noninterest expense rose 35 percent due mainly to the additions of U.S. Trust and LaSalle combined with increased expenses related to the retirement and mass affluent initiatives. Provision for credit losses increased to $243 million from $23 million a year ago due to deterioration in the home equity portfolio from housing market weakness.
U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management net revenue rose 47 percent to $675 million driven by the acquisition of U.S. Trust and LaSalle. Net income rose 31 percent to $106 million.
Columbia Management net revenue declined 44 percent to $179 million, reflecting the support provided to certain cash funds, offset in part by the addition of U.S. Trust and growth in investment and brokerage services revenue. A net loss of $79 million resulted from the cash funds support and higher revenue-related operating expenses.
Premier Banking and Investments net revenue decreased 8 percent to $841 million on lower net interest income related to spread compression, driven by deposit mix and competitive pricing of deposits. Net income fell 67 percent to $104 million as credit costs increased by $238 million reflecting home equity portfolio deterioration.
All Other recorded a net loss of $223 million compared to net income of $615 million in the year earlier period. The decline was mainly due to lower equity investment income in Principal Investing and the absence of earnings from certain liquidated businesses when compared to last year. These decreases were partially offset by increases in gains on sales of debt securities and lower expenses related to stock-based compensation granted to retirement- eligible employees.

Barron's, February 4, 2008. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. For the one, five and ten year periods ended 12/31/07, our fund family ranked 19 (of 67 fund families), 1 (of 61 fund families) and 17 (of 52 fund families) in the annual Lipper/Barron's Fund Families Survey. Mutual funds are advised by Columbia Management, the primary investment management division of Bank of America Corporation. Lipper calculated the returns of each fund, adjusted for 12b-1 fees and sales charges, and gave it a preliminary ranking, or percentile, in its category measuring how it compared with all peers tracked by Lipper. The percentile ranking was then weighted by asset size relative to the fund family's other assets in its general classification, e.g. world equity. This score was then multiplied by the weighting of its general classification, as determined by the entire Lipper universe of funds. Had 12b-1 fees or sales loads been included, rankings would have been lower.
SFAS 159 at and for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007.
The Corporation reports its Global Consumer and Small Business Banking's results, specifically Card Services, on a managed basis. This basis of presentation excludes the Corporation's securitized mortgage and home equity portfolios for which the Corporation retains servicing. Reporting on a managed basis is consistent with the way that management evaluates the results of Global Consumer and Small Business Banking. Managed basis assumes that securitized loans were not sold and presents earnings on these loans in a manner similar to the way loans that have not been sold (i.e., held loans) are presented. Loan securitization is an alternative funding process that is used by the Corporation to diversify funding sources. Loan securitization removes loans from the Consolidated Balance Sheet through the sale of loans to an off- balance sheet qualified special purpose entity which is excluded from the Corporation's Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP).
Managed net interest income includes Global Consumer and Small Business Banking's net interest income on held loans and interest income on the securitized loans less the internal funds transfer pricing allocation related to securitized loans.
Managed noninterest income includes Global Consumer and Small Business Banking's noninterest income on a held basis less the reclassification of certain components of card income (e.g., excess servicing income) to record managed net interest income and provision for credit losses. Noninterest income, both on a held and managed basis, also includes the impact of adjustments to the interest-only strip that are recorded in card income as management continues to manage this impact within Global Consumer and Small Business Banking. | 2019-04-23T08:02:28 | http://investor.bankofamerica.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=71595&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1132474 |

Shock in the pediatric emergency department is frequently a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. The child arrives in an undifferentiated manner and there can be dramatic clinical overlap between a variety of pathophysiologic states, caused by conditions ranging from immediately life-threatening to relatively innocuous. As a member of a small group of young pediatric emergency physicians in the 1990’s, our group initiated an observational study to examine our performance utilizing standard pediatric advanced life support measures . We strove to identify patients early and initiate rapid but measured fluid replacement, as well as clinically indicated vasopressor administration and antibiotics. Our patients received an average of 58 ml/kg of fluid over the course of a 4-5 h ED course. During the 8 year period of data collection, septic shock represented 57% of our cases. Hypovolemic shock, distributive and cardiogenic shock contributed 24%, 14% and 5% respectively. Our mortality was 6% overall and 5% in patients with septic shock and an identified pathogen.
As we accumulated our data, early goal directed therapy and the surviving sepsis campaign began, and with it came an even more aggressive fluid resuscitation strategy. Children were to be treated with 60 ml/kg of crystalloid over the course of 30 to 60 min . Given that a child’s intravascular volume is 80 ml/kg, our group was hesitant with these recommendations-we had seen first-hand the potential complications of this therapy, specifically acute respiratory failure in the ED requiring emergent intubation and mechanical ventilation. One such patient enrolled late in the study period, after the Surviving Sepsis campaign had been widely disseminated and impacted our practice, is vividly recalled. This was a two month old female presented with fever for three day. The child demonstrated tachycardia, but was awake and alert with normal oxygen saturation. Pyelonephritis was quickly diagnosed. Her pulses were initially palpable, but after an initial 20 ml/kg bolus of saline and ceftriaxone administration, her extremities were cold, mottled and she had pulses that were barely palpable. Was this just transient endotoxin release that would resolve with time or did it represent dissemination of infection and worsening capillary leak? Following peripheral pulses, breath sounds and liver edge as a guide to therapy, 40 ml per kg of saline was rapidly administered. The patient developed grunting, laboured respirations and increasing oxygen requirement. The decision to initiate mechanical ventilation was made. Laryngoscopy was difficult, and the patient’s decreased residual capacity and alveolar capillary leak lead to rapid oxygen desaturation. The patient was successfully intubated on the third attempt with transient bradycardia but without the need for chest compressions. The child remained intubated for a week but survived. Did we overshoot this child’s resuscitative requirements, or was the respiratory failure and difficult intubation inevitable?
Because of cases like this one, the initial enthusiasm for a new therapeutic strategy (early goal directed therapy) has come under further scrutiny . Rapid administration of saline bolus volumes that approximate the patient’s entire intravascular volume has not been uniformly successful and mortality in septic shock has not been dramatically reduced . A recent meta-analysis on the association of fluid balance and outcomes in critically ill children demonstrated a 6 percent increase in the odds of mortality for every 1% increase in fluid overload . Perhaps the measuring tools at our disposal for assessing the clinical impact of fluid therapy, such as clinical assessment of peripheral perfusion or ultrasonographic assessment of the inferior vena cava, are too blunt to predict the impact of aggressive fluid resuscitation at the cellular and mitochondrial level.
The bright news is that the wheels of medical progress continue to churn, and it is undeniable that the research on pediatric septic shock over the last twenty years has led to greater focus on this clinical challenge, earlier identification of patients, reduced variation in therapy and a move forward. An on-going study (Squeeze Trial) comparing early goal directed therapy with a fluid sparing approach in pediatric septic shock is on-going . In the interim, clinical pathways leading to early identification of patients, quick administration of broadspectrum antibiotics, and aggressive-but careful-fluid resuscitation, will lead to optimal outcomes.

FinTech is one of the hottest themes in the startup scene. Disruption is happening fast and venture capital money directed towards financial service innovation is at an all-time high.
At the same time, the interest level from financial incumbents to partner with these startup innovators is matching pace. For example, Techstars’ partnership with Barclays has grown exponentially, creating a sub-network of four FinTech accelerators within the Techstars family. The Barclays Accelerator, Powered by Techstars programs are now in London, New York, Tel Aviv, and Cape Town, essentially fostering the largest FinTech pipeline in the world.
Through the expansion of this relationship, Techstars has also expanded its team of Managing Directors to lead our efforts in these cities. Joining me and Jenny Fielding (who runs New York) is Chris Adelsbach in London, Liron Rose in Tel Aviv, and Yossi Hasson in Cape Town.
All three of them — Chris, Liron, and Yossi — share the characteristics we believe are the magic combination for our most successful MDs. All three are experienced and successful entrepreneurs, having built up and exited their own companies. All are angel investors with their own portfolios and track records. And most important, all of them are mentors to entrepreneurs in their ecosystems from whom they receive rave reviews.
Jenny and I are both proud and excited to have Chris, Liron, and Yossi joining Techstars, our team, and our journey with Barclays to help build the greatest FinTech companies in the world!
Applications for Cape Town and Tel Aviv are open now! | 2019-04-24T00:14:24 | https://www.techstars.com/content/blog/introducing-three-new-managing-directors-to-the-barclays-accelerator-network/ |

As you may have known, Sony Computer Entertainment recently unveiled the release window and price for their VR PS4 headset, the aptly named PlayStation VR.
Sony’s announcement was met with mainly positive reactions, thanks to both a relatively low price range in contrast to the Oculus Rift and the HTC Vive, as well as the number of VR games Sony PlayStation is promising to release within the year alone.
Here are 10 highly anticipated PlayStation VR games that are coming to the PlayStation VR that’ll no doubt make buying a PlayStation 4 (and PS4 virtual reality headset) worth it.
An intergalactic shooter set in space and based on MMO EVE: Online, CCP Games’ EVE: Valkyrie features beautiful visuals and intense high-flying gameplay that really takes advantage of everything the PlayStation VR platform has to offer. EVE: Valkyrie will feature both single-player and multi-player modes. The fact that EVE: Valkyrie been in development for years shows in what VR gameplay footage we’ve seen so far.
In Adr1ft you play as an astronaut who has no choice but to survive on a destroyed space station and the areas around it. In this first person experience you’ll have to manage your precious resources and overcome obstacles on the space station, all whilst having to deal with amnesia. We have a feeling players will start to subconsciously hold their breath as oxygen levels get low. If you liked Gravity, you’ll definitely want to look into this upcoming first-person VR space game called Adr1ft.
This PS4 exclusive VR game looks starkly different from the original video game it’s based on. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is a fast-paced on-rails shooter which will make you take down enemies face-to-face. On top of the killer from the first game, a slew of new enemy types will be hunting you down in a glorious VR experience, all of which will be juxtaposed against pre-existing environments from the original Until Dawn along with some newer content. Until Dawn: Rush of Blood is shaping up to be the ride of a lifetime!
Dead Secret sort of echoes games like Clock Tower in terms of concept and tone. From what we’ve seen of this game, it looks like the sense that somebody is watching you as you investigate a murder in a rural house is going to be prevalent. As you uncover more secrets, the feeling that you might end up becoming the next number in the killer’s body count becomes more of a reality. Besides the PlayStation VR version of the game, Dead Secret will also release a non-VR version.
Chernobyl VR Project is a unique title that is part video-game and part-documentary, This highly anticipated VR game will take Virtual Reality players into the eponymous Chernobyl, an area that the majority of people would never have been able to explore otherwise. Using photogrammetry and a stereoscopic, 360-degree camera, Chernobyl VR Project is an excellent way to delve deeper into the mysteries and tragedy of the events that took place on April 26th, 1986. This “edutainment” virtual reality experience touches on the practical used of VR in the future too.
Ace Combat 7 is the latest game in Bandai Namco’s long-standing flight simulation/action series. This amazing VR combat flight simulator is bringing life-like graphics to the PlayStation VR in what might be the most immersive, realistic combat flight simulation game yet. This virtual reality experience looks like it’s not going to be for the faint-of-heart or for the acrophobic. Bandai Namco hasn’t announced a release date for this highly anticipated PlayStation VR game, yet.
That’s right! Hailed as the “Father of VR gaming”, the classic 80s arcade game Battlezone is getting a reboot with PlayStation VR support. Placing you in the cockpit of a tank, the new Battlezone VR is an excellent way to make use of the PlayStation VR’s capabilities. Visually, the Battlezone pays homage to the classic graphics with green and red being prominent colors on simple but appealing graphics. Playstation VR Players will be able to choose among a number of tank classes in this simple but intensely fun tank combat game.
Highwire Games’ Golem is another unique and exclusive PlayStation VR game in that it will make players switch from VR to good ol’ TV gameplay as they play the game, mostly to help players acclimate to VR gameplay. With the way things are looking, you’ll hesitate to switch to TV-play because this VR games combat looks promising. In Golem, you play a bedridden girl who has the ability to control the eponymous stone golems, which vary in size, shape and ability.
You must be a sad, sad person if you don’t like dinosaurs. If you do, Crytek’s upcoming VR game Robinson: The Journey has them in spades. From the tiny ones to hulking T-Rexes, you’ll see it all in the role of a marooned young boy who has crash-landed on a mystifying planet. As this is a Crytek production, PlayStation VR players can expect an ambitious, feast for the eyes virtual reality experience. A Robinson: The Journey release date has not been confirmed as of yet.
Oh man, where do we even start with this one? From a robot (?) zipping through a sci-fi city to a man with…a polar bear head instead of a human one…playing the piano against a wintry backdrop, Media Molecule’s Dreams trailer is a hodge-podge of ideas that could only originate from the minds behind LittleBigPlanet. Like LittleBigPlanet, PlayStation VR players will be able to create and share content to their hearts’ desire in Dreams, made even better and more surreal with VR technology. We wonder if it’ll be anything like the first PlayStation’s LSD?

You have a few options getting to Rome city centre from either of the two airports Fiumicino and Ciampino located just outside Rome. The Leonardo Express train which travels directly to Termini train station in Central Rome, takes 30 mins. You can buy your Leonardo Express train ticket from the train ticket office for €14; remember to validate your train ticket in the yellow machines at the entrance to the platform to avoid risking a fine. There is also a bus shuttle between Rome’s two airports and the Termini train station which takes about 1-hour and 20 mins costing €8.
The majority of Rome can be explored by foot if you stay in a central location. You can buy a metro or bus ticket from the many newsagents who display the brown ‘T’ sign outside. A one-way ticket costs €1 while a one-day ticket will cost €4, ideal for getting around the city to see a few attractions in a day. Remember to validate your ticket in the yellow machines before you travel, the machines can be found on the buses and in the entrances to the metro stations. Failure to validate your ticket could land you a hefty fine. Transport in Rome is frequent and bus routes are displayed on each bus stop dotted around.
Avoid the 2-hour queues trailing around the Vatican Square and head straight to the Tourist Information office tucked away beside St Peter’s Basilica. Ignore the touts outside who will try to persuade you to pay over the odds for a supposed ‘guided tour’ of the Vatican Museum and Basilica, luring you with the prospect of queue jumping, even though entrance to the Basilica is free. Stairs up to the dome of the Basilica costs 4€ and an elevator to the dome costs 5€. Head around the corner to the Vatican Museums in the morning and save visiting the St Peter’s Basilica until the afternoon when the queues have died down. The Vatican operate a strict dress code where shoulders and knees have to be covered before entering holy places of interest.
You can buy your ticket for the Vatican Museum for €15 and buy a special queue jump ticket for €4 – well worth it to avoid the scorching midday sun heat in the square. Walk around the outside of the Vatican City walls until you reach the Vatican Museum entrance, avoiding the long queue. The rooms within the museum are a masterpiece themselves, especially the Sistine Chapel. Opening times are Monday –Saturday 9am-6pm, last entrance is at 4pm.
Originally built as a temple to all Gods of Ancient Rome, the façade of the pantheon looks like an ancient temple. Almost two thousand years after the monument was constructed, the Pantheon’s dome is still the world’s largest unreinforced concrete dome with an open top. The Pantheon is open Mon-Sat 8:30am-7:30pm; Sun 9am-6pm and admission is free.
The largest of the many fountains found dotted around Rome, The Trevi Fountain was originally built on the site of an aqueduct that supplied water to ancient Rome. Traditional legend has it that if visitors throw a coin into the fountain, they will return to Rome again. It is estimated that €3,000 are thrown into the fountain each day from visitors, the money is used to help Rome’s poor and homeless people. There are also a few good ice cream parlours in the square surrounding the fountain, a great place to rest and admire the architecture.

I can’t stand oven mitts and I have a fear of burning myself if I use those little silicone gripper things. So these are perfect, love them! They don’t allow you to feel the heat which is a huge plus for me. I have sensitive hands and hated pulling things out of the oven.
I love the durability of them are they are very large. They fit my husband perfectly. But warning the gloves don’t protect against heat from hot liquid. My husband thought they would. Lesson learned and still in love with these cool looking oven gloves. | 2019-04-20T10:10:18 | https://reviewdoll.wordpress.com/2016/07/21/fivebop-oven-glove-with-fingers-932f-extreme-heat-resistant/ |
When a workplace injury occurs, it is important to know what time frame your employer should be working with so you can get your compensation as quickly as possible. It is crucial to contact a Milwaukee worker’s compensation law firm who is fighting for you. Your employer must follow this time line to be in compliance with the Wisconsin worker’s compensation laws.
Obtaining counsel from an experienced Milwaukee worker’s compensation law firm is vital if you have been injured. It is also important to know what your employer is required to do in the event you have been injured.
Within 24 hours, all employers must report all work-related fatalities to the Worker’s Compensation Division, Madison Office.
Within seven days after an injury, insured employers must report any claim of an injury to their insurance carrier.
If a worker has four or more days lost from work due to a work-related injury, self-insured employers and insurance carriers must report injuries to the Worker’s Compensation Division at Madison, Wisconsin.
The employer must file a form WKC-12 Employer’s First Report of Injury or Disease form or an electronic version and must be filed within 14 days after the injury. An additional form, Form WKC-13 Supplementary Report on Accidents and Industrial Diseases or the electronic version must be filed by the 30th day after an injury.
Additional medical forms in addition to a final payment report must be filed.
In the case an employer intentionally fails to file a report of injury, the employer may face up to $15,000 or 200 percent of compensation. An employer may also be assessed a 10 percent penalty for a delay in reporting an injury, causing untimely payment to an injured party.
If you have suffered a work-related injury, it is important to report it to your employer. It is also important to discuss your case with an experienced Milwaukee worker’s compensation law firm who can help you recover the compensation due to you. | 2019-04-25T14:25:10 | http://www.wclawoffices.com/2014/03/24/milwaukee-workers-compensation-law-firm-important-numbers-to-report/ |
