3 finalists remain after night one of 'Dancing With the Stars' finale
Everyone was “Puttin’ on the Ritz” for night one of the Dancing With the Stars finale. Four couples competed for the final three spots heading into the second half of the finale.
Drew Scott did his best to stick around by throwing his partner, Emma Slater, all around. The two performed a paso doble and a freestyle dance. Both were well received by the judges, but ultimately the couple was eliminated.
Frankie Muniz avoided elimination, but he was also at the bottom of the leader board. He has been a long shot all season, and there are definitely many people out there rooting for the underdog.
The two couples who have consistently performed well are Jordan Fisher paired with Lindsay Arnold and Lindsey Sterling paired with Mark Ballas.
Most weeks both couples have been near flawless and have received scores that reflect that. But Fisher and Arnold seem to have a slight edge over the other couple both in total season points and judicial praise.
However, on this evening Sterling put a magnificent performance during her freestyle dance. She used the ace up her sleeve and played the violin while also dancing wonderfully. Despite being twirled around, the violinist stayed true to her instrument and wowed the judges and the audience.
Will Sterling’s performance be enough to overtake a near perfect Jordan Fisher and an endearing Frankie Muniz? We’ll find out Tuesday night.
Dancing With the Stars airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on ABC. Watch clips and full episodes of Dancing With the Stars for free on Yahoo View.

The news that the Australia government is going to hold back from trying again to get its emission trading scheme (ETS) into legislation is something that should be welcomed so long as it leads Kevin Rudd and his colleagues to start considering and promoting other means for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. There are plenty of other ways of going about reducing these emissions that seem, from the standpoint of behavioural, evolutionary and Post Keynesian economics, to make much more sense than what was being proposed.
While carbon-trading schemes such as the one proposed for Australia may look logically coherent from the standpoint of mainstream economics, they are in practice riddled with difficulties, which Clive Spash has catalogued in his paper ‘The Brave New World of Carbon Trading’ and in recent public presentations. Cap and trade systems theoretically provide a way to reach particular targets and provide incentives to reduce emissions but they presume that financial markets work efficiently, much as standard optimal depletion models presume that markets will find ideal price trajectories for oil, etc. However, from the standpoint of Post Keynesian macroeconomics (particularly the work of Hyman Minsky), we should have doubts about financial markets being good at providing reliable price signals to those who need to work out the implications of strategies with different emissions implications.
The crucial thing that firms (and consumers need to know) under ETS systems is how the price trajectory for emission permits is going to unfold, as this will shape the relative prices of new output and durable assets. Uncertainty about this trajectory will add to the planning nightmare that they face, just as flexible exchange rates have made business calculations so much harder. Insuring against such uncertainties will require derivatives that work over long time horizons, so it is no wonder the financial community likes the ETS idea. If the derivatives designers and dealers get it wrong (as per the GFC) and if major emitters procrastinate over reducing emissions in the belief that they will be able to buy permits to carry on as they have been, then we could run into a situation where there are major business failures because the permits turn out to be way more expensive than big emitters and derivatives expected. It is a recipe for a Minsky-style mess at a time when a lesson of the GFC us that we should be trying to reduce scope for that in the financial system rather than be adding to it.
An alternative approach is to do what the EC and California have been doing with vehicle emissions and set a timetable of progressively tightening targets that firms have to meet. If these targets apply to the weighted average of a car firm’s sales, there is of course a back door route for something akin to trading to occur, via mergers: low emission Fiats can be weighed against profligate Ferraris if they are all coming from one company. Setting a timetable of targets may cause the firms to squeal but at least they know what they have to do over the next five to ten years. By setting particular standards for particular kinds of products, a jurisdiction such as the EU can have an impact that stretches to other countries whose products compete with those made in Europe.
Because of the complexity of the interaction between the economy and the ecosystem, policy makers need to be focusing on sector- or activity-specific targets rather than trying to reduce every act of emission to a common numeraire and saying that all emitters of greenhouse gases need to match their emissions to the number of permits they have. It is doubtful that we can yet pronounce reliably on the emissions consequences of many economic activities. This is particularly the case with agriculture and forestry activities. But there are some major polluting sectors, such as transport and electricity where emissions can be measured and policed pretty reliably.
In a world of bounded rationality, we need to apply rules to those sectors where measurement and monitoring are possible, where we may be able to make a big impact on emissions soon. This is an arbitrary but pragmatic way of operating. It is also a way of giving business clear signals of what they have to do. The risk is that governments will end up doing nothing pending the discovery of reliable ways of bringing everyone into a scheme designed to ensure each gram of emissions is charged for in the same way regardless of its source.
Consumers likewise can be given clear signals and required to comply with them: many countries do this with vehicle emissions, using increasingly tight emissions standards in roadworthiness tests to get the bad cases off the roads. The same can be done with building regulations. Even without regulations for actual standards there is much scope to change what people do by requiring the labelling products (including used houses) in relation to their environmental impact. The ‘new’ approach to behavioural economics may miss many of the insights of evolutionary approaches to choice that stress the importance of habits and rules in shaping behaviour but there is great scope in relation to environmental matters for applying the ‘Nudge’ philosophy advocated by Thaler and Sunstein. For example, during the recent drought, Brisbane residents learnt to economize on water when the Brisbane City Council suggested targets per household, introduced certain restrictions on outdoors water use and facilitated the installation of water-saving devices. A crisis of falling dam levels was averted despite the council not following the conventional wisdom that would have involved sharply increasing water prices.
Much of what we do that contributes to environmental damage is the result of habits and beliefs that have no particular strong foundation. Australians have got used to expecting a lazier driving experience than Europeans, probably as a result of kidding themselves they need effortless vehicles to cope with huge distances, despite living in one of the most highly urbanized countries on the planet. A consequence of this is that, Ford doesn’t supply 1.6-litre Focus cars to the Australian market, whereas few Europeans bother with the 2.0-litre model that Australians drive and which have vastly inferior fuel consumption. It is easy to reduce emissions if the options are available and one is nudged into trying them out and being surprised that little is lost by adopting the greener solution. If Europeans find smaller engines perfectly OK because they are used to them, Australians surely can get used to them too if nudged into experiencing them. That is where EC-style policies for vehicle registration can play a role.
One other area with major scope for using regulatory approaches to reduce emissions is that of the length of the working week for full-time employees. If we go to work less and consume less because we are paid less, we will pollute less. The length of the working week should be falling in affluent economies as productivity rises. The fact that this has not happened on a large scale probably owes much to the mortgage treadmill that many people have ended up on as a consequence of financial liberalisation and the failure of governments to regulate housing sizes and urban density so as to contain city sizes and reduce environmental impacts. People have come to expect to own their own McMansions and the banks have facilitated their attempts to do so by increasing the ratio of mortgage size to income; some have ended up in bigger homes but many have simply ended up with very expensive homes.
In short, policies need to be applied on many fronts to change preferences and technologies. The market-based view of tradeable pollution has nothing to say about changing ‘given’ preferences and technologies’, whereas evolutionary economics points to the potential of policies that focus on changing habits and knowledge. Approaches that use non-market strategies will involve bureaucrats, whom the financial sector and mainstream economists seem to presume are inherently less efficient than competitive markets. Such views seem oblivious to the gross failures of market processes that led to the GFC and are an insult to the professionalism that most of us in the public sector bring to our work. The ‘markets are best’ ideology also ignores the internal competition that provides incentives for bureaucrats even if the departments in which they work are not subject to the ‘discipline of the market’.
One final, general point is important here: many people need to get out of the habit of assuming that there are going to be significant costs for reducing emissions. Such thinking comes from economists who assume that firms and consumers have given technologies and preference orderings and take optimal decisions. From the standpoint of ‘old’ behavioural economics we should view with scepticism the wailing of industry about the cost of dealing with emissions requirements. If firms are put into a position where they find it harder to meet their profit goals, the behavioural theory of the firm predicts that they will search for new ways of doing so. It is thus possibly that there will be no reduction in profits as the price of meeting tighter emissions standards, since new technological solutions may be worked out, X-inefficiency may be reduced, or the burden, if there is one, may be shifted to other stakeholders (i.e., organizational slack may be taken up), encouraging the latter to find more efficient ways of operating. Indeed, being forced to rethink rather than being able to carry on down the easy road may actually result in gains for firms that initially squeal in protest. We can draw lessons here from some of the unexpected impacts of legislation in Europe requiring that manufacturers receive back their products and recycle them when they cease being serviceable: these requirements led firms to design products that were easier to disassemble but in doing this some discovered ways of making them easier to assemble in the first place.

H.” Hong Kong, a former British colony, has chafed at times over its return in 1997 to partial Chinese control. Last year demonstrators occupied major Hong Kong roads for weeks to vent their frustration at Beijing’s restrictive proposal for direct elections for the semiautonomous territory’s leader. Further protests are expected next week when the Hong Kong Legislative Council votes on an election framework.
Tensions have been exacerbated by tens of millions of mainland Chinese who visit Hong Kong every year. While the visitors bolster the local economy, they also crowd Hong Kong’s narrow streets and drive up the price of consumer goods and real estate.
So it was not surprising that the discontent would spill into sports.
Video of Mong Kok Stadium in Hong Kong during the Chinese anthem on Thursday.
There is a history of China and Hong Kong venting their differences over soccer. In 1985, when Hong Kong was still a British colony, it defeated the Chinese national team 2-1 in a match in Beijing. The victory, which eliminated China from the next year’s World Cup, triggered a riot outside Workers’ Stadium.
The Chinese men’s team has suffered from years of frustratingly poor play, but in January it advanced to the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup in Australia. That performance, along with President Xi Jinping’s stated goal of improving Chinese soccer, has raised the hopes of Chinese fans.
China and Hong Kong will meet in September in Shenzhen, the mainland Chinese city that borders Hong Kong, before the two sides have a rematch in Mong Kok in November. A Chinese Football Association poster that warned fans not to underestimate the Hong Kong team and its “black-skinned, yellow-skinned and white-skinned players” triggered complaints of racial insensitivity. Hong Kong fans responded with their own poster celebrating the team’s multiethnic makeup, with black, white and Asian players all fighting for Hong Kong.
What the Chinese national anthem should sound like.
Hong Kong residents are familiar with the Chinese national anthem. Under a government initiative to enhance “the sense of national identity,” local television stations have played it every day since Oct. 1, 2004, before the evening news. By 2014, a survey by the Chinese University of Hong Kong found that more than 53 percent of Hong Kong people could sing the anthem, up from 41 percent in 2006, even though the words are in Mandarin and most Hong Kong residents speak Cantonese.
But over the same period, the percentage of those who said they felt “averse to” the song had risen to 14 percent, up from 5 percent.
Mainland fans have complained online about the jeering of the national anthem in Hong Kong and are looking for retribution during the fall matches between the two sides.
“Hong Kong fans jeering during the national anthem, that’s truly disgusting,” the Chinese state television soccer commentator Liu Jiayuan wrote on Sina Weibo. “But there’s no better way to handle it on the soccer pitch than defeating them.”

Confronting Graffiti Myths
Myth #1 is that all graffiti it is all gang related.
It is true that in some high crime areas a significant amount does involve criminal street gangs. However, in Seattle, only 1% of graffiti is gang-related.
Myth #2 is that graffiti is just art.
Graffiti offenders are primarily motivated by the adrenaline rush of doing something illegal. You need only to read their websites, watch their videos on YouTube and talk to them to see that artistic expression is an afterthought at best. They consider it an extreme sport like bungee jumping. They climb tall buildings and bridges. It is not uncommon for them to fall to their death. They are also driven by attention seeking behavior. The vast amount of graffiti displayed online is there to gain the offender fame within the subculture.
Myth #3 is that just a bunch of kids who need an outlet for self expression.
Most graffiti is done by adults. I
n 2012 t
here were 181 identified graffiti suspects in Seattle. 129 of them —71%--were adults. The average age of the graffiti offender in 2012 was 23.
Myth #4 is that graffiti doesn't hurt anyone.
The economic loss caused by graffiti in the United States is enormous. I have seen estimates as high as $9 billion spent per year on the removal of graffiti. In 2009 Seattle spent $1.8 million removing graffiti from City property. This does not count private property, school property, state highways, or transit property. Graffiti also creates the perception that an area is not safe. People are not going to want to visit your city and spend money there if it is covered in graffiti. I have not seen one incident of violence directly associated with graffiti during my tenure. However, Seattle has a low violent crime rate for a big city. My colleagues in high crime cities have many examples of "tag banging" and general murder and mayhem by graffiti vandals.
Myth #5: If you give them a legal place to paint they will stop doing it illegally.
Vandals admit they “tag their way and tag their way out” of legal spots. Legal spots do not satisfy the need for thrill-seeking behavior. Legal spots do not provide street cred.
Types of Graffiti
Tagger
graffiti is the most common type throughout the world. It is usually a stylized abstract term that was placed solely for the edification of the vandal. Here is a tag that says
VENUE. A "tagger" is not someone who just randomly decided to be a vandal. He or she is a member of a subculture that takes graffiti vandalism very seriously. The motive is to use vandalism as a means to gain
respect in the tagger community and obtain an adrenaline rush by doing something illegal and perhaps dangerous.
Gang
graffiti tends to be less stylized than tagger graffiti to the point that it is easily legible. If you have gang graffiti in your community you do not have a graffiti problem, you have a gang problem. The graffiti is a symptom of a greater problem and you must work closely with your gang investigators. The motive of gang graffiti is to support the core mission of a criminal street gang: to gain money, power, and acceptance within the gang by using violence and intimidation.
Common gang graffiti indicators
The number 13 is indicative of Hispanic gang graffiti. M is the 13th letter of the alphabet and references Mexican Mafia.
The number 206 (or any area code) is sometimes used by gangsters.
Any mention of the prominent Hispanic Gangs: MS13(Mara Salvatrucha El Salvadoran), Nortenos (Northern Mexican) or Surenos (Southern Mexican)
Any mention of the four most prevalent African-American gangs--Crips, Bloods, Hoovers or BGD (Black Gangster Disciples
).
Hate
graffiti is fortunately rare, but very disturbing when it occurs. In my career, every instance of hate graffiti has turned out to be done by young teenage boys. In those cases they were no indication that they held extremist views. They were dysfunctional children engaging in highly offensive behavior as a way to get attention. The motive of true hate graffiti is to create fear within a certain community the vandal does not like.
Communicative
graffiti is vandalism with a message, usually political. The following tag is popular with anarchists. The motive could be as varied as the message.
Artistic
graffiti is vandalism that does not fit into any of the above categories. Generally it would be a nonverbal drawing. I consider legal murals to be "street art" not graffiti. Similar to street art, the motive for artistic graffiti is to create art for the edification of the artist and the viewer, but the artist has not obtained permission.
The issue of
artistic
graffiti is complicated because there is tagger graffiti that resembles artistic graffiti. Some graffiti taggers use a drawing in conjunction with, or instead of, a conventional tag with characters. If the person is drawing the same thing repeatedly this
not artistic graffiti because the person's primary motive is to gain fame in the tagger subculture, not to create art.
I know the following taggers who like to draw instead of, or in addition to, their tag:
BELUGA draws a picture of a whale
ERGE draws a monster

Windows R2 bits are already out there for you to grab and play around. Today I’m taking you’ll attention one particular improvement in HYPER-V replica feature. I’m not going to explain what is HYPER-V replica and it’s advantages, you cna read more information about from here. In previous version of HYPER-V replica the minimum data transfer difference between the replication VM’s are 5 minutes, in another way RTO is 5 minutes. This is more than enough for most of the business application out there when compared with the customers requirement and their budget 🙂
But customers and partners want more and Microsoft listen to them, so the answer is HYPER-V product team has reduce that time up to 30 seconds!! (Yes you heard it correctly now it’s 30 seconds no more minutes level)
So now when you enable HYPER-V replica option in HYPER-V you can select which time option you want to select out of 3 options. This is an welcome advantage for technical engineers to decide which Virtual machine’s will need priority and then enable the feature based on that priority.
edit on 07-07-2013
Apart from reducing the replication interval to 30 seconds Microsoft also offer you the option of replicating the replicated backup to another location. As an example from your primary location (A) you replicate to different location (B) from that “B” location you can replicate to another location (C)
This is similar to the “Bunker backup” scenario. As I’ve mentioned above the time internal’s are 30 seconds, 5 minutes & 15 minutes. So you can decide how you want to arrange the RTP and RPO based on your organization requirement. | https://slvirtualguy.com/2013/07/05/improved-hyper-v-replica-in-windows-server-2012-r2/ | 2018-10-15T16:40:08 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

I learned lots of lessons in the barn. You remember things you learn in a barn. Sometimes I wish my boys could live on a farm so they could learn stuff in the barn, because those lessons would stick with them. But that would make me a farmer, and I’ve grown far too soft for that life.
A few subjects I studied in the barn:
Math
When I was four, I got promoted from my entry level position of cow caller. As cow caller, I sat on a rock and called the cows down from the pasture at milking time. It was a cushy job, and proportionally unnecessary: the cows generally came down on their own.
My new, important job was tail holder. The tail holder holds cows’ tails while an older sibling attaches the milking machine to the appropriate utter appendages, because getting swatting in the face by a cow’s tail can be painful and disgusting.
Holding a cow’s tail can have its own ick factor. I would try to ignore the particularly filthy tails, or I would hold a single strand of tail hair between my thumb and forefinger, effectively holding nothing.
When my sister slid between two cows to perform her utter manipulations, I often pretended that the cow behind her was no threat. She tended to disagree, as this was the tail perfectly positioned to wrap itself around her face.
This inspired her to give my first mathematics lecture: “Where there are two cows, there are two tails.” At first, she gave the lesson verbally. Eventually, it came with a dose of punishment the likes of which only a tail-smacked teenaged girl can dish out.
I learned.
Mr. Cool is holding his own tail – easy to do if there’s no cow behind you and you’re just playing around under there.
Animal Psychology
The cows aren’t trying to kill you, little boy. No matter how many times they kick you in the head, which they do often when you’re four feet tall, they aren’t determined to see you dead.
Cows kick you because you annoy them. Stop annoying them and they will stop kicking you. They would much rather be chewing on something they spit out yesterday than troubling themselves to fling a hind hoof in your direction.
You people are always plucking at their lady berries. Maybe their lady berries don’t feel like it right now. Also, they don’t always want somebody hindering the free movement of their tails, and sometimes they aren’t comfortable with you standing behind them at all.
They almost never chase you down to kick you in the head. If a cow really wanted you dead, she’d crush you with her head.
Caveat: Bulls do want you dead. They hate children most of all, and they will kill you any chance they get.
Physics
A 50-pound boy is never really in charge of an 80-pound calf.
Calves are so cute and cuddly – unless you are the 1st grader whose job it is to water a vicious pack of them.
Calves gain weight quickly. When they still look cute and cuddly they outweigh the skinny kid watering them. Calves are fiends for water, if the water is meant for the next calf. Three of them at once can fit their crazed heads into a standard steel pail, so long as all the water has been splashed out on the skinny kid. None of them can get their heads out.
If a calf wants his head in there, all that can stop him is the three calf heads already stuck in the pail. The skinny kid they just push out of the way, until they get tall enough to kick him in the head.
My kids won’t have the benefit of these lessons. I guess they’ll just have to study harder than I did in school.
–Images by Arthur Rothstein, Russell Lee, and John Vachon for the US Farm Security Administration.
So did you learn where milk come from? Always wondered…But I was born in a hospital. Go figure.
Milk comes from the dairy section of the grocery store. That’s all you want to know.
Yes, that’s what I thought, but then I heard rumours and quite frankly, those rumours are simply disgusting.
My parents sent me to Iowa to live with my grandparents on a farm for a summer. I have never figured out if they did it for me, or if they did it for some peace and quiet at home. I did learn that tossing a tennis ball on the roof of the barn can be pretty entertaining when there is nothing else to do.
And that lesson stuck with you, didn’t it? If there is ever a shortage of tennis balls, blame Iowa.
My mom also learned that bending over in a berry patch was an invitation to our tame cow to play tag. Mom was never very sporting about that game.
I’m glad you domesticated your cow. They can wreak havoc in the wild, trying to play tag with all the forest animals.
You are very lucky :)) but I’m very sad for children that they don’t experience once in their life being in a farm :((
I didn’t feel lucky at the time, but I guess you are right in the end.
I love cows. I could never be a farmer, because then I would have to eat friends. It’s easier to not be a vegetarian when you haven’t developed a relationship with your dinner.( although your herd of cows seemed to be kinda bitchy).
You were standing between cows when you were only four feet tall? I grew up in a city. Whenever I saw a cow it would be behind a fence. If I had to share a field with a cow, I’d probably become anxious;)
Cows are usually pretty nice to strangers, so you’d probably be okay in that field. The ones they get angry at are the kids who annoy them on a daily basis. I think it was a cow who coined the phrase “familiarity breeds contempt.” | https://snoozingonthesofa.com/2014/07/02/yes-i-was-raised-in-a-barn-thank-you-for-asking/ | 2018-10-15T16:59:10 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

We also have our monthly SoSalsa! 'social dancing' at Culture of the TU Delft. These are usually on the same day as the salsa lessons. So, you can dance with your classmates before or after your salsa class. The music will be provided by our own DJ's.
International students
SoSalsa is aimed not only at Dutch students, but at international students as well. We believe that, because of the universal characteristic of music and dancing, our community brings about the best possibilities for getting into contact with students from other nationalities.
Members weekend
Every year SoSalsa organises a members weekend. This is the perfect opportunity to get to know a lot of members. During the weekend you will do all kinds of fun activities.
Members activities
Next to the Members weekend we also have monthly membersactivities. Think of a multicultidinner, a pubcrawl, karaoke night or celebrating king's nights. This is a nice way of getting to know your fellow SoSalseros.
Develop dancing skills
For our SoSalsa members we offer salsa classes and kizomba classes. Next to that we orginase weekly practice sessions to practice the moves you've learned. All external dancers can always come and practice at SoSalsa! 'social dancings' and parties. But even without dancing-skills you are welcome to join us.
Workshops and activities
Especially for members SoSalsa! organises danceworkshops in different levels (beginners to advanced) given by external or internal teachers. Next to that we organise playful workshops to increase your dance-skills or just fun activities together with other SoSalseros.
Going out.
Discounts
Thanks to the ‘momentum’ of the SoSalsa community, we can manage to get discounts for many events and workshops. We are a community of students, and the events we arrange are always priced accordingly.). | https://sosalsa.nl/about/what-we-do/ | 2018-10-15T16:42:57 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
So R. Kelly was acquitted of child sex charges. The man who wrote ‘Age Ain’t Nothin’ But A Number’. The man who married Aaliyah (RIP) at the tender age of 15. The self-professed ‘Pied Piper of R&B’. (You do know the premise of ‘The Pied Piper of Hamlin’, right?)
AND they caught the whole thing on video tape? Surely somebody done paid off the jury.
I think Robert is a brilliant songwriter and a more-than-decent singer, but unfortunately (not guilty verdict aside) this feels like Michael Jackson all over again. Nothing will ever tarnish the brilliance of ‘Step In The Name Of Love’ or ‘When A Woman’s Fed Up’ (just like ‘Rock With You’ and ‘Smooth Criminal’ will always be certified classics), but would I feel comfortable referring to myself as “an R. Kelly fan” in mixed company ever again? Not likely. | https://soulmaterecords.wordpress.com/2008/06/16/not-guilty-you-got-to-feel-me/ | 2018-10-15T18:10:05 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Reality? Check!
One of the most useful gifts that your post-partum doula will bring you (not dinner, although that's a close second!) is a reality check. It’s tricky to rely on your partner or even family for a reality check. They are well-intentioned and love you but also caught up in the moment, just like you are. It tends to be very hard for those close to you to parse out what’s normal and what’s not. When you're sleep-deprived, struggling with breastfeeding or in pain, a reality check in the form of informed support from a post-partum doula who has a young child herself (hint: me) is just what any new mom needs.
There's going to be a lot that you'll wonder about (how long will the lochia last? when will I lose the baby weight? should I really be eating THIS much?) and it's essential that you have someone to be your reality check. Remember that a post-partum doula is an expert in knowing what newborns need and also how best to support mom and the family emotionally as well as practically. Practical answers, support and recommendations are just some of the tools in the post-partum doula's toolbox.
I think new moms often get all too often get wrapped up in how it's "supposed" to be. Breastfeeding is supposed to be intuitive. Babies are supposed to cry. You're supposed to be in love with your baby immediately. When any of those memes don't happen or aren't exactly as you imagined they would be, stress ensues. A post-partum doula knows all those "supposed to" memes and is on-hand to debunk them! She provides the real story which usually goes something along the lines of "this is temporary" and "give yourself a break".
A post-partum doula is part angel, part nurse and part best friend--practical and loving. As knowledgable as she is a good listener. She's there to hear what you're feeling, what you're worried about and learn how best ti support you. And provide a good dose of reality along the way. | https://sparkequity.org/blog/2013/11/18/reality-check | 2018-10-15T17:29:10 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Not long after the Hollisters, Indy and Emmy Rhodes arrive on Wicket-ee-nock Island, they discover that something is very much amiss. The Franklins, who live on the island, seem to be hiding something in their barn. The Franklins warn them not to go near the barn! A prowler is seen near the abandoned inn where the Hollisters are staying. Later, their belongings are ransacked, and they receive a fake telegram, supposedly from Mrs. Hollister, ordering them to return home. Then, one night, the ghost horse looks eerily out of the fog. When the Hollisters realize that someone is trying to scare them off the island, they are determined to find out why. A man with a beard and a foreign accent saves them from drowning, but, then disappears into the night. A pair of Lipizzan horses, a scrap of paper bearing a coat-of-arms, and a secret tunnel, provide several clues, and after experiencing some harrowing moments, the Hollisters set out to find the valuable diamond encrusted coat-of-arms that is the heart of the mystery of the ghost horse! In the process, they learn a great deal about the work of the Audubon Society and about the training of the world-famous Lipizzaners. | https://sponsormagazine.info/28666955-los-hollister-y-el-misterio-del-caballo-fantasma-by-consuelo-g-de-ortega.html | 2018-10-15T18:09:06 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Season Preview: Denver Nuggets
Quietly, the Denver Nuggets have turned into an offensive juggernaut led by a budding superstar in center Nikola Jokic.
The Los Angeles Lakers decided that Rajon Rondo will be starting as the point guard over Lonzo Ball when the season starts. Is this the right move or does Ball deserve to start?
Last year, the Lakers looked great with Ball as their point guard. He has great vision and is a willing passer. Instead of letting Ball develop, he will now be playing with the second unit and will see his minutes reduced. That is an unexpected development considering how sold the Lakers are on Ball.
What happened? You don't praise a player all summer and then bench him. I think that the Lakers ended up choosing veteran leadership over developing Ball. They want to win now and they think Rondo gives them a better chance. Does he?
It is a tricky question because they both do the same things. Both are willing passers and not the best shooters. That is why they choose the player with more experience. However, I think that in a few weeks, Ball will be starting instead of Rondo.
That is a bold statement but I think it will happen. The main reason I believe Rondo is starting is because LeBron James most likely wanted Rondo to start. But James will regret that choice after he sees how bad Rondo is on defense.
Rondo doesn't try on defense like he used to to in his younger days. Instead, he gets beat constantly and that will show since the Lakers don't have a great shot blocker. In New Orleans, the Pelicans has Anthony Davis protecting the rim. Now, Rondo won't have Davis saving him when he gets beat.
Ball on the other hand is a good defender. He stays in front of his player and his big size makes it tough for them to shoot over him. This is going to be the main reason why Ball starts later on in the season. | https://sports.smallteaser.com/article/should-rajon-rondo-start-over-lonzo-ball | 2018-10-15T18:01:41 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Dear Parents & Caregivers

If you child is unfortunate enough to get a bug, please remember it is our school policy that students only return to school 24 HOURS after the last incident/movement. This helps to minimise the spread of the bug to other students and staff.

Coach Ken Carter: "What is your deepest fear?".
CommentAdd a Comment
This is hugely uplifting, and the basketball scenes were exhilarating! Impossible to imagine that a coach like this could stick to his convictions - and because he did - he allowed so many gifted young men to soar to unimaginable heights...
This is one of Samuel L.Jackson's best performances in his entire career so far to date,but i am tired of seeing these sports movies period!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This movie is based on true story that took place in one of the California’s high schools, about a basketball team and a coach who puts academics before sports. This is an extraordinary movie that conveys a very strong message with it. It could be used for educational, motivational, and personal purposes. The movie is about a basketball team who constantly loses and kids who have no aim or direction in life, a former basketball player and a sports good store owner takes up the job to coach the team. His techniques of teaching the kids discipline and respect are extremely remarkable and intelligent. He makes a great contribution into the team and helps them regain hope by winning games. However the coach’s goals aren’t just the wins in the game, he wants the kids to succeed and make something out of their lives, so he finds ways to encourage them to leave their bad choices behind and begin making new good ones that would allow the kids to have a secure future. The movie is setting a bar that contradicts the theory that success for young black males only lies in the field of entertainment as rappers or as sports players, that they can’t be sitting in a high school class and be learning anything to be successful in life. The movie and the characters cover topics such as, drugs, sex, murder, vandalism, success, responsibility, poverty, hunger, and discipline in areas that have higher rates of crimes due to these problems. This book could be a great family movie to watch and reflect on what we have available and take good advantage of it, or it could be used in a classroom to send out a strong message that education is important and without education, there is never a lifelong success that will last like knowledge does.
Hesiod said, "Before the gates of excellence the high gods have placed sweat; long is the road thereto and rough and steep at first; but when the heights are reached, then there is ease, though grievously hard in the winning." This is a movie about the arduous struggle of Ken Carter to lift up his community by widening the outlook of the local basketball team through education. You can find "Our deepest fear" in a book by Marianne Williamson titled A Return to Love. This movie offers one of the finest examples of Existentialism you will ever find: every one of us is responsible for who we are, responsible for the way we face and deal with the world, responsible for the way the world is. We cannot shift these burdens onto God, the economy, or the ways of the world. The value of a good movie is its ability to elevate the human spirit during its showing and its ability to sustain a human dream after it’s finished.
For resurrecting his students from the ashes of broken society, inept system, deliberate deprivation, neglect & indifference, Coach Carter deserves a Nobel Prize.
Every school in the world should have Coach Carter, setting higher academic & athletic standards for his students & demanding & guiding his students to achieve more than their dreams.
ONE OF THE BEST FILMS & INSPIRING STORY IN THE FILM INDUSTRY.
This movie had such a positive message!! Even though I don't enjoy basketball, I loved this movie!! | https://stmarys.bibliocommons.com/item/show/334895012 | 2018-10-15T18:32:58 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

On March 30, I posted “Death by Blogging,” about the murders of Bangladeshi blogger Washiqur Rhaman and Bangladeshi-American blogger Avijit Roy. The third fatal attack since February occurred today in Bangladesh when Ananta Bijoy Das was chased through the streets of Sylhet by four men wielding machetes.
A banker who spoke out against religious extremism, Mr. Das wrote for “Mukto-Mona” or “Free Mind,” the website once moderated by Mr. Roy. He also edited Logic, a magazine publishing essays on secular humanism.
In 2013, blogger Ahmed Rajib Haider was also murdered. He, Mr. Roy and Mr. Rhaman were all part of the “Shahbag” movement, calling for the death penalty for Islamist political leaders implicated in atrocities during Bangladesh’s war of liberation from Pakistan in 1971.
The leader of Al Qaeda’s Indian branch has claimed responsibility for the deaths of Mr. Roy and Mr. Haider.
Mrs. Roy who was seriously injured when she tried to defend her husband against his assailants, called his murder a “global act of terrorism.” She said that no one from the Bangladeshi government has reached out to her since her husband’s death on February 27.
I shall continue to post updates about the situation in Bangladesh and anywhere else where bloggers and other writers are being persecuted.
The War Against Words must not be taken lightly.

Amani Itakuya #4: …when a West Bank-like separation barrier will be built along the DRC-Rwanda border
…when a West Bank-like separation barrier will be built along the DRC-Rwanda border
Alex Engwete
Watching the Congolese soukous music star Papa Wemba being interviewed on TV one Sunday morning in mid-June 2004 in Kinshasa – shortly after pro-Rwandan rogue troops of renegade Col. Jules Mutebusi had left Bukavu, the provincial capital of South-Kivu Province – I was struck to hear him say something along the following lines.
The physical border between Rwanda and the DRC is almost nonexistent – at some spots only the middle of a stretch of the road marking the frontier between the two countries, Wemba said.
And as long as a physical, artificial boundary is not built to demarcate the two countries, the Kivus would forever be besieged by Rwanda.
Papa Wemba then concluded: “After all, Israel’s building a security barrier along its borders – why can’t we do it too?”
The Israeli West Bank barrier is indeed being built and, upon its completion, will stretch for the staggering distance of 700 kilometres. And the United States has long fences along its southern border with Mexico. Some Republican lawmakers are even tying their support for any upcoming comprehensive immigration reform legislation to more length added to that border fence.
Papa Wemba’s wall may, in my view, stem the recurrent Rwandan proxy wars in the Kivus for good – in both understandings of the expression “for good,” that is, for the lasting benefit of both the Congolese and the Rwandan peoples.
This wall wouldn’t be hermetically sealed like the border between Ethiopia and Eritrea; and trade would still be possible between the two countries. Just as in Israel and in the US, checkpoints or border crossings would be put in place. And surveillance drones would be deployed and rolls of concertina barbed wires would be rolled out to reinforce the security wall.
To be sure, this project would draw the flak from many quarters – from environmentalists and from the Rwandan government, who’d be objecting to the security wall.
But the DRC could allay the fear of environmentalists by showcasing for example the Korean demilitarised zone, a strip of land that has become, as someone argued, an “environmental treasure trove” due to the sparsity of human activity in the area.
As for Rwanda, the DRC would ask its leaders to either own their direct role in the chronic instability in the Kivus – in which case, meaningful peace talks could ensue between the two countries and the construction of the wall called off – or step out of the way and let the project proceed.
By the way, I wonder whether those now calling for a “political solution” in the recurring conflict in the Kivus really know that it is just humanly impossible to meaningfully negotiate with Rwanda right now.
In a post published last year on my blog, I rehearsed an essay by Angelo M. Codevilla titled “Tools of Statecraft”: “Diplomacy and War” published in 2008 on the website of Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI) that provides a reading of the seminal insight of Fred Ikle’s book entitled “How Nations Negotiate” (1968).
I wrote that Ikle’s book “may give one an inkling of the current diplomatic quandary of the DRC” when it comes to negotiating with Rwanda.
According to Ikle, Codevilla says, there ought to be an initial agreement in a negotiation on the “available terms” before proceeding to the next step, that of the “rules of accommodation” where parties make “sincere agreements, honoring partial agreements, etc.”
Some parties may opt instead “’to negotiate for side effects’ — to use the negotiations to undermine the other side’s government, sow dissention among its allies, deceive it, pocket partial agreements and renege on commitments, buy time, gather intelligence, etc.”
“Disaster looms,” says Codevilla, “when one side follows the rules of accommodation while the other negotiates for side effects.”
It’s obvious that during the long years of crisis in the Kivus, the DRC has been negotiating with Rwanda according to the rules of accommodation, whereas Rwanda has been negotiating for side effects.
Hence, the imperative necessity of building Papa Wemba’s wall along the DRC-Rwanda border.

Anand –
I can see your point and to me the two issues (legitimacy of DRC Gov & why rooting FDLR failed) are separate. In the same way, to me not being “legitimate” & having Congolese interests at heart are not mutually exclusive since one would not necessarily prevent the other. That being said, it is my belief that if things are not improving in EDRC is mainly because of a destabilisation campaign led by the Rwandan & Ugandan regimes. In this respect, if we are to talk about sincerity, these two regimes lack it more than the DRC government. That sends us back to the FDLR question which in my opinion is used by the rwandan regime as an excuse to maintain its actions in EDRC. How many times have we seen reports of ex FDLR fighters being recycled by the Kigali regime in armed conflicts in EDRC? Many have been sent back to rwanda only to return in EDRC a few months or years later through one armed group or another.
My position is rwanda should be more transparent about FDLR and get rid of the genocide melting pot where any critic to the regime are cooked.
Sorry for the late reply, Richard. I am not trying to imply that Rwanda has negotiated in good faith. But I question the DRC’s gov’t’s sincerity as well. The current regime doesn’t seem to have the legitimacy of the people. I feel that political games are always being played, and none of the parties at the negotiating table have the Congolese people’s interests at heart. I am forced to ask why the operations you mentioned didn’t result in the rooting out of FDLR. It seems that political stake holders have agendas of their own, both in the DRC and in Rwanda.
Anand –
Not too sure about the wall but I feel the DRC govt has been negotiating in good faith and I can point you to a few examples to support my claim. Since 1996, the rwandan army has been allowed on DRC soil to deal with so called threats by remnant genocidairs and FDLR. the more recent ones were Amani leo and Umoja Wetu operations which saw a joint effort by both the FARDC & RDF to deal with the same threats. However, the conflict started when DRC wanted to end parallel chains of command within FARDC. These chains of command were maintained by officers (B Ntaganda, S Makenga et al.) who are sympathetic to the regime in kigali. Many reports have shown the link between EDRC rebellions and the regime in Kigali so in my opinion and based on proven facts, the regime in kigali did not negotiate in all sincerity and worse it acted to further destabilise DRC when this nation was most vulnerable.

I appreciate the idea in terms of trying for actual and effectual border control. But who would set up, fund, and maintain such an endeavor? Also, I can totally agree that many of the negotiations over the years have been colored with insincerity, but can we say for certain that the DRC government has been negotiating in good faith and it is only Rwanda who is negotiating for “side effects?” Very interesting piece all around!

Atmosphere
If you’re looking for pregame entertainment in the neighborhood surrounding the Durham Bulls Athletic Park, then you’re in luck as there is a lot to see and do outside the ballpark. The DBAP is located just south of the Loop, which is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat or something to drink. The Loop is home to a variety of restaurants including Bull City Burgers, Revolution, and Old Havana Sandwich Shop among others.
Another great spot to eat before the game is the American Tobacco Campus. Here you’ll find lots of bars, and restaurants only steps away from the stadium making it a great place for the less adventurous.
Finally, before entering the park, make sure to check out the entrance plaza. There is a lot to see on the plaza including retired numbers, fountains, and a whole lot more. The numbers honor some of the greatest real-life and fictional ballplayers to play for the club including Joe Morgan and Crash Davis, so stop by and take them all in before entering the stadium.
You’ll find lots to see and do before a Durham Bulls game so arrive early and take in all the sights and sounds of the neighborhood.

- One possible cause of this is insufficient power being provided to the docking stations. Make sure that chains of docking stations have external power. Also make sure that docking stations plugged into a USB hub are using a USB 2.0 High Speed hub with external power.
- Another cause is that the system incorrectly initialized the docking stations. Follow these steps while setting up your hardware:
- Close Motion Studio or Mobility Lab.
- Undock any monitors from the docking station(s).
- Unplug the power and USB cables from the docking station(s).
- Plug the power cable into the docking station(s). The LED(s) will turn yellow. Note: if you only have one docking station, external power is not required.
- Plug the USB cable into the docking station(s). The LED(s) will turn green.
- Dock you monitor(s). The LED(s) on the dock(s) and docked monitor(s) will turn blue after 10 seconds or so. The LED(s) on the monitor(s) will flash blue/green if they are charging.

How to Verify your W-2 and 941 data
Verify 941 Data
- Print the Payroll Summary report's Tax and Deduction Summary for All States and Employees. Set the Date Range to match the quarter for which you are printing the 941 report.
- Select Payroll > Reports > Taxes > IRS Form 941
- Select the Quarter which you are verifying.
- # Employee Paid as of a set date must be verified.
- Total Liability for quarter should equal the information on the Payroll Summary report. If it does not match, you may have some employees that are marked as Self Employed 1099. (The Payroll Summary routine has the option to exclude those employees). Verify that the reports now balance and that you have correctly marked the employees.
- Total Deposit for quarter assumes that you paid any taxes owed; the routine does not have a way to check that for sure. YOU MUST VERIFY THIS AMOUNT!
- Open AP > Define Vendors and find the vendor to whom federal taxes are paid.
- At the bottom of the Check History tab, set the date range to display the quarter in question. Press the Tab key after entering the dates to update the Date Range Total amount. If this matches the 941 total, then your information is correct and you are ready to print it.
- While you have the Preview of the 941 on the screen, look at line 7 (fraction of cents). This should be less than $1.00; if it is not, please contact the Support Department for assistance.
- Be sure to save a copy of each 941 that you send to the government. While you can print them again, if you have voided a payroll check (which you should no do), the 941 will differ from what was submitted.
End-of-Year -- Compare 941 Data with W2/W3
- At the end of the year, when printing W2s, they should be compared to the 941s to be sure they are correct before the final 941 is sent to the government and/or W2s are provided to employees.
- To compare the W2s to the 941s, use the W report, which is a summary of the W2s:
- Compare Box 1 on the W3 to the total of Line 2 on each quarter's 941.
- Compare Box 2 on the W3 to the total of Line 3 on each quarter's 941.
- Compare Box 3 on the W3 to the total of Line 5a, Column 1 on each quarter's 941.
- Compare Box 5 on the W3 to the total of Line 5c, Column 1 on each quarter's 941.
- Note: Column 2 of lines 5a and 5c cannot be compared as the total on the 941 combines the employee and employer share and the total on the W3 is only the employee portion.

With this tool you will be able to impact your clients accurately in real time.
Enter your dashboard with your credentials, click on the Campaigns tab. But before it is important that you bear this in mind:
- Welcome Screen: image that is shown to ALL visitors before making the connection to your WIFI
- Banner Login: banner that is shown to ALL your visitors when they are doing the Login with social networks, email, etc.
- Thank You Screen: image that can be segmented to certain groups of users, as after the login our system have the metadata, this Screen can be segmented. For example: only people of certain ages or genders.
- Landing Page screen: (web page) to which users are redirected after the login process. For example: your home page, Facebook page or a menu.
The Campaigns tool allows you to efficiently create SO WIFI login flows (campaigns) for multiple locations at the same time, instead of setting the login procedures for every location separately. It enables you to create unique campaigns for individual locations, or show certain content to specific groups of users. For example: As a taxi company, you might have hundreds of SO WIFI access points; one in each taxi. The Campaigns tool gives you the power to create and edit cam- paigns for multiple access point at the same time, and make sure certain content is shown to certain WiFi users; based on the specific taxi, office or user location. This tutorial sheet will show you the basics of using the Campaigns tool. You will learn how to create and edit campaigns, and how to link these to your locations
The Campaigns Module contains 3 tabs:
- Campaign Settings: Where you find an overview of all of your campaigns. This is also the starting point of creating new campaigns, and setting the duration for which they run.
- Locations:This is where you can link specific campaigns to one or more of your locations.
- Campaign Content: Uploading and specifying the content that your WiFi users will see when logging in, is done here.
PART I) Setting up your campaign
Step 1: Click on the “Campaigns” tab in the menu.
Step 2: Add a new campaign
Step 3: Enter the campaign settings
- First, enter the campaign name. This can be anything you want it to be. Your WiFi users will not be able to see this. You might want to make it relatable to a certain location, or campaign purpose so that you can easily organize your cam- paigns
- Next, set the campaign
- Lastly, select the account you want the campaign to link to. If you are not able to see this, your default account is linked automatically. You can just skip ahead and save.
PART II) Linking your campaign to one or more locations
Step 4: Link the new campaign to locations
After creating your first campaign, you will automatically be sent to the “Locations” tab. Alternatively, you can also click the blue “locations” button behind the specific location.
Step 5: Link your locations to the campaign
You can link locations to your campaign, simply by click the “Location included?” tics. You can toggle them “on” and “off” by clicking on them.
Step 6: Specify the campaign content
After adding the specific location(s) to your campaign, you are ready for the final step in the campaign creation process: uploading and specifying the particular campaign content.
- Click on the “Specify Campaign Content” button in the top right-hand corner. You will be sent to the next
PART III) Adding new campaign content
Step 7: Add new campaign content, by clicking on the “Add new campaign content” button.
You can link locations to your campaign, simply by click the “Location included?” tics. You can toggle them “on” and “off” by clicking on them
INTRODUCTION: Uploading the MAIN CAMPAIGN content
As explained previously, WiFi users will be shown a “campaign” while they log onto your WiFi. A campaign generally consists of a “Welcome” screen; a “Login screen” (Not shown here); a “Thank you” screen; and a “Landing Page” that people are directed to automatically after logging in.
Step 7a: Create the overall campaign content name.
This can be anything you want; your WiFi users will not see this, but it might make sense to make it recognizable for later use.
Step 7b: Upload your MAIN campaign content The “Main Campaign” section is where you set the Welcome screen shown to ALL of your users.
Upload content to the “Main Campaign,” by clicking the “edit” buttons below the particular screens.
Step 8a: Setting the MAIN campaign content filters
*NOTE: Leave all fields EMPTY if you want to include ALL WiFi users.
1. Set the “Campaign content filters”
- Set the days that the campaign needs to show. You can select multiple days (or all days) by clicking on the specific days repeatedly; until some or all are selected in the
- You can remove days by clicking the “x” next to the specific
2. Set the time period. Do this by typing in the times that you want the campaign to show
8b: Uploading MAIN campaign content
After setting up the campaign content filters, click on the “Create new” button.
After pressing “Create New”, a new screen will pop up. This is where you will upload the actual content.
NOTE: You will see this popup, which will ask you to create a new BSP. A BSP is short for “Branded Splash Page,” which is basically a fancy name for the content that your MAIN campaign will show.
1. Set the BSP name
2. Set the duration that your WiFi users will see this screen
-We advise about 4 seconds.
3. Then press
Upload an image / video by clicking the “Select File” button, or by dragging and dropping the image into the specified boxes. Content can be images, or video (see the dashboard for the specific file types allowed).
Since desktop and mobile devices have different screen dimensions, you have the ability to upload different images / image sizes for these device types.
- Click “save” when you’re done!
8c: Finalizing the MAIN campaign content upload
- On the next screen, you will get an overview of the image / content you have just uploaded; including the MAIN campaign content
- Click “Set” once more in the bottom right of the screen.
PART IV: Uploading FILTERED campaign content
After uploading the “MAIN” campaign content, you can also set the “FILTERED” campaign content. The difference is that it is shown to users AFTER logging onto your WiFi. With the “fliter”, you have the ability to show relevant information for particular groups of users.
Step 9a: Setting filters
Uploading FILTERED campaign content is very similar to the MAIN content process, except you can also set segmentation filters
- Make sure only men or women see certain campaign content, by ticking the
- Make sure only certain age groups see certain campaigns by setting the minimum, and maximum
- You must also set the days and time-periods in which the filtered campaign content is shown.
*NOTE: leave all boxes empty if you want to include ALL users.
9b: Finalizing the FILTERED campaign content
Upload filtered campaign content in exactly the same manner as the MAIN campaign content.
PART V – Setting the Landing Page URL
Lastly, you can (optionally) set the landing page URL, which WiFi users will be automatically sent to after logging onto your WiFi, and after seeing the “Thank you” (Filtered Campaign Content) page.
Step 10: Click the “edit” button in the far right box
Step 11: Setting the landing page, and filter criteria
- First, set the landing page that you want users to land on after logging in. Some examples are: your website, a restaurant menu, an offer, or an affiliate
- You must also choose the days, time period, genders and ages of your
NOTE: If you want ALL users to see your content, leave all boxes empty and set the minimum and maximum ages as far apart as possible
Step 12: Save your campaign:
Save your campaign by clicking the ‘save’ button in the bottom of the screen.
After saving, you will see a summary of your campaign content. This will be a list of campaign content – within this specific campaign.
What you see depends on the amount of campaign content variations you have created.
NOTE: By default, campaign contnt is enabled. But you can enable / disable campaigns by toggling the “enabled / disabled” ticks.
Adding more, and Re-ordering content
You can add more campaign content, so that you can run parallel Thank You screens or Landing pages next to one another. You can ensure that different user groups see different screens. You do so by clicking the “Add new Campaign Content” button, and create another set of campaign content, just like you have done already.
When you are done creating all of your desired Welcome Screens, Thank You screens, and Landing Pages, you can prioritize them by “Re-ordering” them. You might have certain filters that overlap with one another, and by re-ordering the campaign content, you can prioritize which filters apply first.
When finished creating your campaign, you can go back to the “campaign settings” tab. Here you will find your campaign, and where you can easily enable / disable the entire campaign. You can also verify the campaign status here. It can be “Enabled, Disabled, Running, or Not Valid.”
A campaign that is “Running” is currently enabled AND being shown to your WiFi users.
Congratulations! You have created your first campaign.

One of our sites frequently receives international calls. Calls from Italy have the + sign in front of the number.
The Adtran sees this and passes it along, making it an invalid call to our pbx. We tried using the Substitution
Template, but "+" isn't an accepted character and is ignored (we tried +X to X. The + still gets passed).
We can't be the only ones who've ever seen this. How can we strip the + sign?
We're referring the problem to our carrier, because really they shouldn't be sending that in the first place, but
in the meantime we'd like to see if we can solve this with the Adtran.
Thanks for any assistance.
After opening posting this question here, you opened a ticket with Technical Support and after working with you on that, it looks like your Voice Router had to be configured to remove the "+".
That's correct. If you've never noticed (I know I hadn't) you can dial a "+" from a cell phone.
The + gets sent with the digits on international calls, but we were able to strip it in the router.
Thanks.

routing by CLIDoldtech Mar 18, 2014 8:15 AM
I think I see how to route by CLID in dial plan to a specific FXS card for output to a receiving device. If I have a routing plan that deals with a specific CLID number then is that aforementioned FXS card removed from capability for ALL other CLID, or does dial plan just route the specific CLID to ONLY that FXS not any other. I tried getting to "Patrick" I believe you helped me years ago on another issue.
Old Tech
Re: routing by CLIDpatrick Mar 18, 2014 2:07 PM (in response to oldtech)
In order to route by CLID, you need to have a PRI in the NETWORK TERM, and under its IFCE CONFIG set "Swap ANI/DNIS" to ENABLED. The ATLAS literally swaps the ANI and DNIS information in the SETUP message it receives on the PRI, so the call is then routed based on the original Calling Party Number (or Calling Line Identification - CLID).
If you ENABLE the "Swap ANI/DNIS" option on the Network PRI, then you will need to configure your USER TERM entries to accept either specific CLID or with wild-cards that will include the inbound CLID. So if the CLID is 256-963-8000 then you can either have the IN#ACCEPT on the FXS accept "256-963-8000," or "NXX-NXX-XXXX," or "XXX-XXX-XXXX," or "$". The ATLAS routes based on the "most specific match" so if you have 256-963-8000 as the IN#ACCEPT on one FXS port then that is the only FXS port that inbound call can use, but if that one FXS port not only has "256-963-8000" but also has "$" or "NXX-NXX-XXXX" then it can accept other inbound calls (as long as the other USER TERM entries aren't more specific so as to prevent an inbound number from going to the less specific match with wild-cares).
I hope this makes sense,
Patrick

I just got back to my desk. I was prepping for an onslaught tomorrow by management. I am dealing with an Adtran 550 set up in rabbit hole for an alarm receiver. Recently we have been getting hit hard with broken signals arriving for a five state area.
I wanted to limit my incoming call by ANI to one particular FXS card so I could record the data arriving. I know by the logs that are created that digits of the DTMF string are going missing. We are trying to determine where. As I stated, I am concerned that the dial plan would limit the card to only the number I am looking for taking the card out of the game for the other 19999 possible callers.
I will have to review the dial plan set up and your email again before I try this. I suppose I could set it up when I am sure the call is expected, tech on site, then change the dial plan back after I catch what I want.
Delivery of ANI/DNIS is currently AAAEEENNNNDNIS* out of the FXS cards to the receiving equipment.

Re: routing by CLIDpatrick Mar 19, 2014 6:12 AM (in response to oldtech)
If you are doing a rabbit-hole setup to an alarm receiver then I don't recommend setting the "Swap ANI/DNIS" to ENABLED. This literately exchanges the CALLING PARTY NUMBER with the CALLED PARTY NUMBER. So a call FROM "256-963-8000" to "1234" becomes a call from "1234" to "256-963-8000". So if you are passing 4-digit DID out the Feature Group D T1, then you typically should receive *2569638000*1234*, but with SWAP ANI/DNIS enabled, you will get *1234*8000*. You cannot swap ANI/DNIS for only certain calls so it will be swapped for all inbound calls.

Patrick
Thanks for reply. Yes the Adtran 550 delivers 26945912455778* as ANI/DNIS currently.
So unfortunately, a trap for recording purposes directing to a certain FXS port on in incoming CLID is not going to work. Back to the drawing board.

Sutton Night Watch is a registered charity (1171903). It was set up to support and raise awareness for the homeless people within the borough and surrounding areas. Three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 7:30pm and 9:30pm a group of volunteers give up their time to run a soup kitchen and food bank at the back of Sutton Station. We give out Clothes, blankets, sleeping bags, food, toiletries etc. all of which are donated by the general public and local shops and cafes.
We are always looking for volunteers and would love for you to get in touch. One random act of kindness could be the difference between life and death for a person living on the street. Every new day is a chance to change someones life and make a difference!

Ollie doesn’t want to sit in his car-seat or wear his seat-belt until Mum shows him some of the supercool people who use a seat-belt to keep them safe.
Do you struggle to persuade your child to buckle up their seat-belt?
Of course, car safety is non-negotiable with your toddler, but it’s not always easy. Many of them kick and scream and hate being strapped down.
Better Buckle Up tackles the issue in a fun way.
The story of a little girl with very definite ideas on the things she’d like to eat … as told by her big brother.
Know a picky eater?
Like many toddlers, Evie can be fussy over the things she chooses to eat. Good thing her big (-ish) brother comes up with a solution to keep everyone happy.
A story for fussy eaters everywhere.
Once upon a time a little girl was born in a gritty, Northern, industrial town called Warrington. Her name was Suzie.
Suzie learned to read even before she went to school, quickly finishing all the books in the reading scheme and most of the school library which meant there were always lots of stories whirling round in her head. She then turned to writing her own. | https://suziew.com/ | 2018-10-15T17:54:56 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

The green figures indicate sand dunes. Right now, a 51,000-sq.-ft. beach structure fronts a playground on the beach’s west side:
The new pavilion is planned dead ahead of where Broadway ends at Seawall, in the middle of a sandy parking lot:
A boardwalk heads out to the new 72,000-sq.-ft. structure from the smaller welcome center to be built northwest of it:
Two different portions of the pavilion linked by overhead walkways front either side of the path as it arrives at the building from the west. The 2-floor northern section houses shared beach patrol and parks office space. South of it — closer to the water — a network of additional walkways winds down to an outdoor amphitheater:
It’s neighbored by a playground to the west:
All other public amenities — as well as a few more offices — are upstairs, as indicated in the set of stacked floor plans below:
The beach patrol’s main headquarters looks out on the water from the southwest corner of the second floor — which it shares with an event venue. The third level is split between a restaurant to the east and a roof deck adjacent to it:
The island’s parks officials are waiting on money from the federal RESTORE program created in 2012 in response to the Deepwater Horizon offshore oil spill, some of which would go toward building the pavilion.

It’s a good time to be a woman. The ability to shape your dream body and take control of your looks is incredibly empowering. If you want to change your breasts, what’s stopping you? Women in Sydney and around the world have made breast augmentation the most popular plastic surgery ever.
If you are thinking about getting breast augmentation, it’s essential to choose the right breast implant size. Of course, there are many factors to consider. Before you visit our Sydney clinic for a breast augmentation consultation, it’s good to have an idea of what you’d like. Here are a few factors to consider.
The most important factor is your body shape. To create a natural look, it is important to find a breast implant size that is proportional to the rest of your body. You will also want to consider your long-term comfort. Remember, large breasts are physically heavy and you need a strong frame to be able to carry them. If you choose a breast size that is too large for your frame, you might find yourself dealing with a lifetime of back pain and uncomfortable bras. When you start the process of choosing the right breast implant size, it’s critical to establish realistic expectations.
Don’t be shy about looking at photos of other women. This can be a great source of inspiration. Look for women who have bodies similar to your own then consider what you do and don’t like about their breasts. Beyond just size, look at the placement, shape, and contours of their breasts. Finding a body type that you like will help you get onto the same page with Dr Turner. Think of it like visiting a hair salon. The best way to start your visit is to show a photo of what you and why you like it. Of course, your breast augmentation will be catered to you and your unique needs but a source of inspiration is always a helpful starting point.
There are many different breast implants sizes that will compliment your body. Within that range, you’ll want to decide what will work best for you in the long term. Your lifestyle will play a deciding factor here. If you work out regularly, you might find that large breasts get in your way. This is a good thing to talk about during your breast augmentation consultation. Having worked with a wide range of clients with all kinds of lifestyle, Dr Turner can give you a realistic picture of what to expect with a new breast size.
When you arrive for your breast augmentation consultation at the Sydney Institute of Plastic Surgery, Dr Turner will do tissue based planning. This means looking at the amount of soft tissue that you have and assessing its elasticity, fullness, and firmness. Tissue based planning allows Dr Turner to recommend breast implant sizes that will work perfectly with your breast and create a totally natural look.
Another aspect of a breast augmentation consultation is trying out a breast sizing kit. This allows you to get up close and personal with your new breast implants. You can touch different implants to get a sense of how they look and feel. You can put implants from the sizing kit under your clothes to get a clear impression of how your new breast will look.
One of the best tools that we use at the Sydney Institute of Plastic Surgery is the VECTRA 3D machine. Using multiple cameras to take photos of you from every angle, the VECTRA 3D machine is able to create a clear 3D virtual image to show you what your body will look like with different sizes of breast implants.
The VECTRA 3D images are something that women really love because they’re able to see themselves from every perspective to get a very clear idea of how their new breast implants with look.
Ready to learn more? You can schedule a no-obligation consultation with Dr Turner to learn more about breast augmentation and discuss your options. | https://sydneyplasticsurgery.org/right-breast-implant-size/ | 2018-10-15T18:03:27 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
It wouldn’t be Christmas in my world without special orders. I’ve limited myself to just a few after December 1 since I knew I’d be busy with finals and shows. Of course, I received a couple of phone calls after WinterFest wanting special items so I relented. One is for a good friend who I’ve known since grade school, so I couldn’t say no. The biggie is a cloisonne pendant for a good customer who wanted something really unique for his wife. I love creating new things so I jumped at the challenge. The enamel work came together beautifully and I began work on the setting. Naturally, things were going too smoothly. Saturday, I went to fit the enamel to the bezel and the enameled piece got stuck. Really stuck. It wouldn’t move. I panicked. All I could think about was how I was either going to accidentally ruin the enamel or I’d have to trash the bezel to get the damned thing out. I took a break then went back to it. Thankfully, it popped out with little harm to the enamel. All I have to do is re-fire it to get the scratches out of the back from where I poked at it with my file. Tomorrow’s the big day when I attempt to finish it. Wish me luck! I’ll be really glad when it’s boxed up and out of my hands.
Special Orders Don't Upset Us

Right, first in this morning is from Caroline who says:-
"Well, you can really mess with us. Now it is some kind of animal. First thought was a kitty that got scared when it got it's tail caught in a mower and lost part of it but..........on second thought a little lamb might be nice for Easter that is coming up.......but knowing you I bet you still have us all fooled.
Caroline"
Now I can show you Sandra's day 7 and also give you a link to her blog post:-
"I've blogged this
Continuing to say Oink. (But leaving a small possibility that this could be a Sheep!) (Baa!)"
Next is from Gina who says the following:-
"Here is my completed day 7!"
Interestingly the next lass in (Sharon) is using the same thread (I think it's Lizbeth Nitty Gritty) as Gina. Both pieces are equally as neat too. Anyway, this is what Sharon has to say:-
"Here's my Day 7. I take back my earlier guess---definitely not a flower. And animal of some kind, perhaps? Tonight I'm thinking Bear but I reserve the right to be wrong again.
Sharon"
Next in is another of day 7 from Valerie. Unfortunately Valerie had left out two picots on the inner part of the ??? and so decided to start again. I did suggest she poked her hook into the centres of those two chains and pulled the joining thread up through that new space (that's what an old cheat like me would've done!) but she decided to start all over again. This is what she says:-
"Anyhow, here's my NEW TIAS....
"OK, got it restarted. It's not too bad really. I blame myself for not paying attention at the beginning of the first "tail". Here it is... I'm pretty sure it's a four-legged animal."
Hugs
Val"
Now I have Bernice's day 7 and she says:-
"Here is day 7 Whatever it is....Bernice O"
Next in is from Rose Anne with her days 6 and 7. She's been waylaid by another projects but I'll let her tell you about that on her blog post here:-
"NOW I finally got caught up with my TIAS 2012 project and here is Day 6, nice and easy with no problems - but still clueless of what it is supposed to be.
And here is Day 7, but Jane put another one of those SCRMs into it!!! But this time I reread the SCRM instructions and it was a lot clearer to stitch up right from the beginning. But still clueless as to what it is going to be!!!"
Now for the last one in my inbox this early (well, early in MY book!) Sunday morning is Nima who says this:-
"Jane,
This is day 7 completed...looking forward for day 8.
Nima"
Next in and which made me smile too is Sonja who says this:-
"here is my day seven. I found it in my mail after 2 days away.
With tatting greetings from Holland
Sonja"
Poor Brenda suddenly realised she'd missed out a chain somehow so she's started again. Here's what she has to say:-
"I don't know how I missed a chain. I couldn't leave it at that so I have done it again. This is my 4th attempt.
I have changed colour because I got fed up of seeing the green. I think it was unlucky for me. LOL.
The day I spilled the tea on my work was a day that never got any better.
I hope this is okay. If it isn't them I will do it again."
Next in is from Mariya who has this to say:-
"Dear Jane, This is my day 7 part. I'm sure now that we have some animal with legs and tail, but don't know which one exactly. My husband thinks that this is a cat :)"
Now I have Heather's day 7 and she says:-
"HI Jane,
Here is my day 7, I got it done this morning... Had a fun day yesterday, spending time with family... and sledding with the kids :) My guess for today is a dog.
Thanks Heather"
Next I have a comment from Suz who says this:-
"Alright Jane! I had so much fun doing this last year! However I have been sick, but am following along on everyone's site. I don't know if I can guess...but just to see if I am right in the end....is it an owl? I have so enjoyed your sense of humor on your blog. You may think you are an old git but I don't ! Good Luck with this fun project and can't wait for your next adventure.
Suz Crites"
Now I have a cold Sue Anna sending in her day 7. This is what she says:-
"From a cold and snowy morning I am sending my day 7. Makes me think of summer and warmer weather :) Looks like something from the mind of Willie Wonka! lol . Some kind of strange bird ??!! Oh well happy tatting! Sue Anna"
Next in is Elfriede with her days 6 and 7. Thank you, Elfriede.
"Hi Jane, thank you for the work that requires a TIAS. The additional instructions are also very helpful for other tatting work. Here are my results for Day 1 to Day 6 and Day 7.
Kind regards
Elfriede"
Now I present Mary Jo's day 7 and her comment:-
"Here is day 7. No new guesses. The ring on the SCMR had me flummoxed for a few minutes, but the light came on eventually! Yet another new tool in my tatting tool box. Mary Jo"
Next in is from Sonja who says this:-
"Hello Jane,I tried to tat your funny pattern. It's a mysterious pet or a useful items? I think the next days are exciting. I'm waiting for the eight TIAS-Day.
Your
Sonja = (Papagena InTatters)"
Last one in today is from Wendy who says:-
"Well it's obviously a horse/cow/deer/donkey/oxen ......." | https://tatitandsee.blogspot.com/2012/01/sunday_29.html | 2018-10-15T18:11:01 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
We set up our 3rd family Christmas tree on Friday night. It might be the first one Liam remembers. Or not. It’s a tall and spindly thing, and we keep it in a pressure cooker. Just our style. That night we also went to the Solano Park community center for a Christmas dinner, at which Liam met Santa.
Here, Santa responds to Liam’s probing questions regarding the stability of a mass of toys upon an airborne sleigh undergoing certain amounts of angular momentum. I didn’t really follow the conversation, it got too technical.
Eventually I decide to take a picture as I imagine any good dad should. But neither Liam nore Santa are keen on the idea of being documented as having met. Perhaps it’s because of the previous discussions and trade secrets, but I can only guess.
Awesome time and times! Ahh CA has it all, sun surf and snow. A trooper he is and methinks may mostly be but of course we all have lapses.
and we sure hope Santa was clear about the aerodynamics! | https://teaandkate.blog/2009/12/14/santa-in-solano-park/ | 2018-10-15T16:51:43 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Ek speel ook fotograaf
I realised the other day that photography is more than just capturing a moment, it is the need to frame the world around you. Close to my Boyfriend’s house there is a road that yearns to be photographed. It has an amazing view on the N1 with Table Mountain in the background. Every time I drive home I realize that I am busy framing that space, and it needs to be photographed. I will get to it soon. In the meantime here are some of my older photographs.
My brother, Stefan Steenkamp, is actually the professional photographer in the family, but for my 21st birthday my family gave me my own toy to play with.

Sjoe. Almal is besonderse foto’s. Baie goeie portretwerk.
Baie dankie. Ek is maar nog redelik nuut met die hele fotografie ding. My passie is eintlik om te skryf- maar in daardie tussen fases wanneer ek ‘n bietjie inspirasie kort, dan is fotografie perfek! | https://thatsmytype.wordpress.com/2011/01/30/ek-speel-ook-fotograaf/ | 2018-10-15T16:38:58 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

In September 2013 Barnet Council introduced a Placements Policy in regard to making offers of Private Rented Accommodation. This policy has ensured that greater emphasis is placed on providing accommodation that is both affordable and suitable for housing applicants. For some households, this will mean that they are offered accommodation that is located outside of London. By adopting the Placements Policy, any legal duty that Barnet Council owes to a homeless household (any homelessness duty) can be ended with an offer of a suitable private sector tenancy. This rule applies to customers who made a housing application on or after 9 November 2012.
As an additionto this, a Temporary Accommodation Placement Policy was introduced in June 2016. This was in response to a Supreme Court judgement that recommended that Councils publish a policy for the fair placement of households into Temporary Accommodation. | https://thebarnetgroup.org/bh/applying-for-housing/placements-policy/ | 2018-10-15T17:38:57 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

In the past, Asia as a continent wasn’t really known for its swimmers. But that has started to change, and at the 2012 London Olympics, the whole world will see that the pool isn’t the exclusive preserve of Americans, Australians and Europeans.
Japan, China and South Korea won four golds between them in Beijing – and they are keen for more in England.
Many eyes will be on Kosuke Kitajima. Now 29, the Japanese star won gold at the 100 and 200 meter breaststroke in Athens in 2004 and in Beijing four years later.Enjoying this article? Click here to subscribe for full access. Just $5 a month.
“The Frog King” is going for an amazing hat-trick this summer, and was impressive in April as he defeated rivals in Japan to book his place in the team.
“The fact that I could demonstrate what I had under such pressure has helped me remove fears about going to the world,” Kitajima said last month. “I am confident of overcoming such pressure on the basis of my experience I think I will just prepare myself to be able to stand on the starting block with my head held high.”
Expectations are high. “I think the chance of him getting gold is very high,” said former coach Norimasa Hirai. “Kitajima is strong at the Olympics. Everybody feels pressure at the Olympics, but he has a tendency to set records under that kind of pressure. Competing and winning against the world’s best is something I think he looks forward to.”
South Korea’s Park Tae-hwan took the 400 meters freestyle in Beijing in 2008. He’s hoping to take on the mighty Michael Phelps, who has 14 gold medals in his cabinet at home, before he heads to England in an attempt to reach peak form at the right time.
The 22-year old, nicknamed “Marine Boy” in his homeland, is now in Australia before heading to the United States and the Santa Clara International Grand Prix. Last year, Park beat Phelps in the 100.
“Although it is not decided whether Phelps will take part in the event, it will be good experience to race with him and even better if I defeat him,” said Park.
“I need to work most on a fast start, and it will help in the 200 meters. Skills for turns are important in the 400 meters. To vie with high-profile swimmers like Ryan Lochte and Phelps, I need to improve my starts and turns,” he said.
For China, Jiao Liuyang is a gold medal hope in the 100 meters butterfly, after taking silver behind compatriot Liu Zige in 2008. | https://thediplomat.com/2012/05/can-asia-rule-the-pool/ | 2018-10-15T18:33:29 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Lately, Worcestershire seems to be cropping up in my “genealogical life” more than usual. Not only have I just become a member of the Malvern Family History Society (thanks to whom I think I may have cracked an old brick-wall and gone back a further generation!), but also because I was recently invited to review the new guide to family history which the Worcestershire Archive & Archaeology Service have created.
I was recently contacted by a member of Explore The Past, a part of Worcestershire Archive, announcing the creation of a 70-page comprehensive guide designed to provide advice to anyone researching their family history. In fact, this guide is so complete, you don’t need to have Worcestershiremen in your ancestry to find it interesting and useful. In my particular case, it just so happens that my grandmother’s grandmother Jane Allen (née Davis) was half Malvernian, with roots in Kempsey and Hanley Castle. Many members of my extended family branched off into various parts of Worcestershire, so I immediately leaped at the chance to write this review.
What is it?
Any genealogist will appreciate that, no matter how often and how well acquainted we are with the resources we use on a regular basis, there are always new discoveries out there which enrich and facilitate our research. The guide published by Explore The Past is proof of this. Its 70 pages cover a vast range of topics useful for any researcher, amateur and professional. Obviously it includes not only what I call the basics (census returns, civil registration and church records), but goes on to delve into other equally fascinating and useful resources: newspapers, trade directories, prints and engravings, school directories, archaeology and historic buildings, etc… It is truly a goldmine of information presented in a very clear and compact way.
Who is it for?
For someone such as myself, who tends to rely excessively on online records, I must confess I didn’t quite know what to expect from a guide of this kind. As I don’t live in the UK at the moment, you might say I’m a bit on an unseasoned user of British archive material. After all, most of us tend to think “Oh well, I’ve seen it all by know anyway”, don’t we? Actually, reading through the pages, I realised just how much information there is out there which I am simply not consulting (or I’m not using properly). The fact that this guide was conceived as a resource for those unable to make the long journey to The Hive, where Worcestershire Archive is located, is in itself innovative. Of course not all holdings are available online, but thanks to their top-notch digitisation and translation/transcription services, the Archive offers you the chance to access documents without moving from the comfort of your home!
OK, but what does it contain?
Although Worcestershire is a county, it is in fact an array of smaller, tightly-knit communities. The Archive contains some 20,000 books which will enable researchers to understand the finer historical details which defined the lives of our forebears, from military history to transport, manufacture, leisure and of course biographies of notable historical residents. The Archive also holds a wide range of maps -from tithe maps to building footprints- which will enable you to comprehend the geography of the land in which your ancestors lived.
If it’s ancient history you’re interested in, this will definitely whet your appetite: the guide offers information about the over 32,000 records of Worcestershire’s above- and below-ground archaeology, more than 17,000 records about historical buildings and ancient landscapes, over 8,000 records of archaeological investigations and over 23,000 records of references to archaeological reports, articles, books and even photographs.
The England and Wales census, which as you probably know was taken every ten years from 1841 to 1911, can also be accessed onsite at Worcestershire Archive and, as explained in the guide, enables users to research individuals, tracking down their movements from one population to another, understanding the social make-up of a specific area, and of course discovering more information about family units. The census is also complemented by the existence of over 85,000 photographs (including engravings and aerial photographs) which will give an added visual dimension to your research. To this we should add photographs of local events as well as images of soldiers who went to war between 1914 and 1918. I wonder if I can find any of my many Worcestershire relatives who sadly fought and died in the Great War?
Church records are complemented by the existence of vestry minutes (which give information about poor relief, church accounts and even bastardy cases), as are Bishops’ transcripts. Be warned, though, that the office of Bishop was abolished during the Commonwealth, so there are no transcripts for the period 1646-1660. Ecclesiastical records also include other denominations, including Roman Catholics, Baptists, Quakers, and Methodists. Wills and probate records will add extra flesh to your family history skeleton – and Worcestershire Archive holds records dating as far back as the 15th century!
How can I learn more?
The list of records one can access in Worcestershire Archive seems endless. It is little surprise they receive user queries from all over the world, from Sydney to New York (and now Brussels too!). For those just getting started with their research or are not well acquainted with Worcestershire Archive, I advise them to read the FAQ section (which I confess I have found invaluable).
So, whether you’re researching your Worcestershire ancestry, or are doing some research in the area, or just want to compare notes and see what resources you may have missed out on in your own corner of the world, I heartily encourage you to download the Explore The Past guide compiled by the Worcestershire Archive & Archaeology Service. To do so, or for more information, please visit their website:.
I wouldn’t want to end this review without conveying my sincere thanks to Rebecca Meekings, from Explore The Past, who has very graciously invited me to write this review, and who has provided invaluable information about the guide and Worcestershire Archive.
“We’re thrilled to release what we think is an interesting and informative guide, and we hope it will be useful for anyone researching their ancestors. Whilst the guide focuses specifically on our Worcestershire collections, it would also be of use to those researching in any English county archive. The team believes that this is the only resources guide of its type.”

The U.S.Health Care is broken..We at the Lerman Report have come up with the solution.
The Affordable Health Care Act even with the Republican revision is nowhere near the solution.The solution is a very simple in order to rectify this mess we call Health Care in America.
A while back My father received a bill from an unknown Doctor for $500. “Who are you”? He replied to this Doctor-and went on to say I never went to you” This Doctor said your absolutely right you never saw me before ..but remember last year when you were at the E.R.at your local hospital complaining of chest pains and took & they took an EKG?. Well I have a contract with that hospital for a 2nd opinion on interpretation of those EKG’S. My father said first of all I never contracted you. & 2nd this is a year later and had the EKG showed any heart irregularity they wouldn’t have release me.
The Doctor got loud “He turned his fraudulent scheme around and said “because of people like you is the reason why our health care is so expensive’. Another Doctor sends him a bill for “In Office Surgery $600. What surgery my father inquired The Office manager replied back “we pricked your finger for a drop of blood”.
Our plan is a simple one. Every Doctor will work for the Federal Government.. They will wear a uniform just like The Surgeon General. They will have a ranking and pay system just like as if they were Medical Officers in our Military with the exclusive difference is they can quit at anytime.. however if they decide to quit they will be permanently barred from practicing medicine or any of its related fields anywhere within the U.S and it’s Territories.
Let them all wave goodbye to that big Mercedes Benz along with the Sprawling Multi Million Dollar Homes that they now enjoy..Trust us they will never starve they will make decent living..This will weed out for a lack of a better term ‘The Bums in our medical system.
All these urgent care facility’s can be taken over under imminent domain or fresh new facilities can be opened up. We need dedication back in our health care field..More Marcus Welby and Ben Casey type Doctors as in years past .We are sure that The general public is in total agreement with us.

22 Tweets That Show Disability and Happiness Aren't Mutually Exclusive
If you have a disability, you might be used to people expecting you to be miserable all the time. If you aren’t miserable, you’re considered strong and inspirational because you couldn’t possibly be happy with your “situation.”
Experiencing joy does not mean you are “cured” or no longer in pain, but this is a misconception some people have, Andrew Farkash, creator of the #DisabledJoy hashtag, said.
“I also wanted to show people that Disabled folks don’t live miserable lives,” he told The Mighty. “That we exist, survive, and even thrive sometimes despite our Disabilities.”
There’s a common misconception that you can’t be Disabled and happy. That you can’t express joy, and if you do, you must not be hurting or Disabled anymore.
I propose a new hashtag to empower us and show people otherwise: #DisabledJoy.

Farkash said he hopes people realize happiness and disability aren’t mutually exclusive.
“This isn’t to say that we don’t have a lot of hurdles as a community to overcome,” he said. “Societal ableism is harsh and literally kills, but I wanted this hashtag to empower my Disabled community and give them a space to celebrate their joy— or times where they did feel joy.”
Farkash started #DisabledJoy with photos of himself taken by his friend, Myai Jackson, and many Twitter users followed with their own photos to show their joy.

Holland Roden is the talented actress who plays Lydia Martin on MTV’s Teen Wolf, which is airing its final season. Holland took time from her schedule to answer my questions for The Nerdy Girl Express. Fans of Holland and Teen Wolf will want to read on to find out what she had to say.
How did you get started in acting? Have you always had the acting bug?
I haven’t always had the acting bug. I grew up in Texas and never thought about pursuing it professionally. I had an interest in science and to me that was the more realistic path. I came from a family that was in the medical field. It wasn’t until I switched schools. I went to an all-girls school until I was sixteen. But when I switched schools, I took up acting as an extracurricular activity to have something to enjoy that was outside my comfort zone. To be thrown into a school that had boys was something I wasn’t used to. So, I started taking classes with this guy named Ken Farmer in Texas. And he was the one who really said I could do this professionally. So I went to college out in Los Angeles and started acting professionally at twenty-one. But when I was in Texas, I would do work in commercials and things. I was lucky I didn’t end up on the six o’clock news as back in the day I would get on random websites and look for notices to submit tapes. So that’s how the amateur acting started. But I always had an interest in storytelling and realized that I loved acting. That was probably a round-about way to start acting.
Do you have any hobbies?
Hobbies? I love the outdoors. Skiing has always been a passion and I recently started back country skiing where you take your backpack and go camping and ski. As long as you have enough fuel for your burner, water’s not a problem because you can fill your camel pack. And it’s really beautiful to wake up in the middle of nowhere. It’s another good reason to work out and get to the gym because you want to be in good shape. That’s kind of my main hobby I the winter. I love white water rafting and camping and rock climbing. That and documentaries (laughs).
I’m curious with this being the last season of Teen Wolf, what it’s like saying good bye to Lydia after all these years?
It’s bizarre as it really hasn’t hit me yet. I think that time will change that for me that I won’t be playing Lydia again, it’s moments like these when I say it out loud that I have to think about it and it really hits home. By the same token, it’s kind of like the grandmother that passed away when I was ten, like twenty-one years ago. Yet her spirit meant so much to us, we feel like she’s alive today. We talk about her like she’s alive, we still get to enjoy her even though she’s not here. It’s probably going to be the same path for Lydia. Because people enjoyed her and we all took this path together, she’ll still feel alive to me and for others and hopefully for many years to come. Even though I will not technically be playing her again. If that makes sense.
It’s bittersweet. I kind of ask everybody this, it’s kind of my go-to question. Have you kept anything from the set?
Yeah, I collect magnets on my refrigerator. My rule is I really don’t like any sort of labeling like clothing or tubberware or my dog’s lease. And so my magnets can’t say what the place is, I have to remember what it was. So I wouldn’t want a magnet that said Teen Wolf in big letters. So there’s this beautiful hourglass that looks kind of like Mountain Nash that was in Lydia’s room for several seasons. So the last day of filming, I took the hourglass that is currently on my bookshelf. So I have an hourglass that was from the Teen Wolf set, I have a couple of Lydia’s shoes. And I took my chair, you know the director’s chairs that we sit in and that’s about it. I tried to get some werewolf claws but I have not got hold of the special effects people yet to get some werewolf claws. I do have a nostalgic box. I keep a nostalgic box for everything in my life. And my Teen Wolf one has fan art, letters I’ve gotten over the years and magazine clippings.
Do you have any memories from the set that stand out?
One of my memories is from Season 2. We would always stay around for each other’s scenes even when we weren’t filming. And on the last day we got some champagne and got pretty drunk and fell asleep in my trailer. So Colton and I had to film some emotional scenes the next day and we were still pretty drunk, which was funny and he thought we were going to get punked. We thought we were going to get punked any second because we are on MTV after all so that was really funny.
What is something that you’re really going to miss about Teen Wolf?
Definitely the people. We’ve become friends. We didn’t get to see each other as much as we would have liked and now it’s going to be less. And working for Jeff, he’s an amazing show runner. He really cares about his cast and crew and he just has a huge heart. There’s something about Jeff that he feels like family.
Are there any secrets you can share with us about this final season?
(Laughs) I will say that the trailer revealed more than I thought it would. There are some fun people that come back this season. There’s a lot of action packed in these ten episodes.
Is there any genre that you haven’t done that you would like to do?
I did this new Amazon series called Lore. It’s a period piece set in the 1890s and I got to play this real person named Bridget Cleary. I was really grateful to be a part of that cast. I usually don’t get to play parts with characters that have an accent. As far as roles I’d like to play, I love historical fiction and non-fiction based on real people. And probably 1950s and 60s characters.
Are there any upcoming projects that you’ve been cast in that you can share?
I’ll be in Channel Zero: Butcher’s Block. It’s a little off-kilter. Filming is in September to air sometime in 2018. I’m really proud of the project, it is very Stephen King-esqe. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go back to something so close to Teen Wolf right now, but this project really changed my mind.

“Free” is not a word one would ordinarily associate with a first class orchestra like the Houston Symphony. But free was the operative word for the two recent Mitchell Concerts at the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion. Through the generosity of TAS Commercial Concrete Construction L.P., Waste Management Inc. and The Wortham Foundation, all lawn seating for the summer events was made available to the public without charge. While I missed the first concert, highlighting the works of Beethoven, the second evening was a night of music I will long remember.
The wonderful program opened with “The Voyevoda, Opus 78” by Tchaikovsky. The thrilling opening strains were full of immediate mystery and rising excitement. For those who had attended the symphony’s recent performance here of Tchaikovsky’s “1812 Overture,” it would be difficult to miss the similarities in musical power and intensity. Music director, Hans Graf, showed impressive skill eliciting precise and exciting musicianship from his talented orchestra. Graf conducts with the grace of a ballet dancer, drawing particular sweetness from the harp and strings. It might be argued that Tchaikovsky has never produced more exquisite music for the string section.
The concert included another Tchaikovsky masterwork, the “Symphony #4 in F minor, Opus 36,” featuring more of the composers rich romanticism and musical majesty. Large screen projections on either side of the stage gave the audience close-up peeks at featured performers and the conductor. During the fiery 1st Movement, “Andante sostenuto”, it was most interesting to see Graf’s intimate connection with the musicians from this live/video perspective. It also gave the audience the opportunity to note the many youthful performers in the orchestra. That bodes well for the future of H.S.O.
The serenity of the 2nd Movement, “Andantino,” was pure bliss. The 3rd Movement, “Scherzo,” opens with an almost prancing quality (in the extensive pizzicato plucking of the strings) that seemed to cry out for ballet dancers. Then came the electrifying energy of the stunning “Finale,” masterfully performed and conducted. Graf was particularly exciting to watch during the musical fireworks of the closing crescendos.
But the featured work of the evening had even more stunning musical fireworks to offer. It was Rachmaninoff’s “2nd Piano Concerto in C minor, Opus 36.” This had to be a special treat for those of us who remembered Tom Ewell’s hilarious erotic fantasies in the Hollywood comedy classic, “The Seven Year Itch,” co-starring Marilyn Monroe. But this concert was no comic performance, but rather a richly beautiful interpretation of Rachmaninoff’s masterpiece. The featured soloist was world-renowned pianist, Antonio Pampa-Baldi. He began the 1st Movement “Moderato,” with a crisp, yet gentle delicacy that contrasted with an ever-rising passion and power that seemed to perfectly match the composer’s intentions in this romantic classic. The 2nd Movement’s “Adagio sostenuto,” highlighted by Baldi’s incredibly fluid keyboard dexterity, had a softness and serenity that allowed me to briefly ponder how fortunate we are to have such cultural richness and musical excellence available right here in Montgomery County. Then, during the pyrotechnics of the 3rd Movement’s “Allegro scherzando,” it was mesmerizing to watch the artist’s gifted hands race up and down the piano keys like rapid-fire spiders that move so quickly, one longs for slow motion to discover if what we are seeing is really possible. Then the warmth of the work’s most familiar theme leads to the magnificent conclusion. Woodlands resident and life-long pianist, Mary Walther was in the audience. Perhaps she summed it up best in saying, “I’ve never heard it played any better!” I doubt she ever will!

Pog tips of the day:
If you ache from your exercise exertions yesterday from the moment you open your eyes, you’re unlikely to do a fast run in an hours time.
Ignorning the fact that one of the hook and eyes on your sports bras is no longer completely attached to said bra will also contribute to not doing a terribly fast run.
(Well, those are my excuses and I am sticking to them). On the upside, it means you have a good excuse to ignore your time, take a colourful, slightly slower route and take some photos. All these images make me smile for different reasons and make me wonder at the skill of the people who created them in one way or another. I give you (even though it was a grey morning) colourful Beachville:

Isaac Sligh (C’18) sits outside the Ralston Listening Room, legs crossed under the table, his step-grandfather’s Air Force-issued bomber jacket on the chair behind him. He’s worked here since his freshman year at Sewanee. In fact, he recalls that during his first few months, nervous about the beginning of college and all the change it entailed, he would introduce himself by inviting people to hang out with him there.
With a long musical background, Sligh came to the University ready to start his own band. He quickly fulfilled his wish later in the semester, starting a mostly acoustic band called Big Foot Stick with some friends. However, although they enjoyed working smaller events like Arm and Trout at the Green House, by sophomore year, Sligh felt ready to begin a more serious band.
After talking with a work friend, Reece Jamison (C’19), at a Fiji party his junior year, the boys commenced planning for their next band. Soon to become The Thumping Richards, they enlisted the help of other Ralston Room musicians to get the band off to a good start. The newly minted troupe hosted a few gigs at fraternity parties, where Sligh states they had a great time but little equipment and even less knowledge about the inner workings of a band.
Nevertheless, things changed after winter break of that year, when Sligh articulates that he practiced electric guitar every day for three weeks. He says that after having played for ten years, he improved impressively during that time in his ability to perform by melody improvisation.
After getting together after the break, Sligh, Jamison, Joseph Butler (C’14), Fiona Charnow (C’20), and Owen Pearson (C’20) felt ready to perform regularly. Now a staple at any University event or fraternity party, The Thumping Richards have made a name for themselves outside Sewanee’s campus as well by briefly going on tour in Chattanooga.
Still, Sligh says that the University remains his favorite venue, stating, “The best thing about playing with a band at Sewanee is that you’re up on stage feeling great about playing good music and there are people in the audience enjoying that you’re playing good music. You care about them because they’re your friends and you’re part of a community. There’s a really nice warm vibe you get on stage; you really can’t recreate that in other places.”
Sligh encourages all musicians to start a band, claiming that it helped him grow both as a person and as an artist, even more than his music theory classes. Although he enjoyed the new perspective they offered, he found the structure a bit stifling.
Nevertheless, he found new ways to think about songs he’d always enjoyed, suggesting that “it was honestly a lot like taking geology. You know when you walk around and see all these beautiful formations you can see the beauty in them and appreciate them aesthetically. But when you find out how they were formed, it changes how you walk into a building or look at a mountain.”
Even before these classes or starting a band, Sligh had an extensive musical background, beginning with his father’s own guitar playing. Described as a “soulful” man, Sligh’s father played songs from singer-songwriters in the 60s and 70s. Growing up, his family lived in an apartment complex in Waco, Texas.
Sligh remembers the block parties his parents used to host. “I always knew everything was safe and okay when music was on. My earliest really joyful memory was having a little CD player out by the grill and everybody listening to music and putting on different things.”
He describes these moments growing up as “pure innocent joy.” Unsurprisingly, the gentle influence of his father caused Sligh to begin his own musical career around the age of twelve when his parents purchased him his first guitar. From then on, he began teaching himself, for the most part learning songs by trial and error.
Most strikingly though, Sligh began record collecting in high school. He explains that these days, searching for music seems like a lost art, saying, “There’s something about really finding something nobody else knows about and feeling that you’re one of the only people in the world that knows about it. It’s totally different than Spotify suggesting it to a bunch of people.”
His fascination with records began at a young age after his grandmother gave him some of her collection. After this, he found employment at a shop called Chad’s Records, located in downtown Chattanooga, where the owner would allow him to work a couple of hours for trade. On top of this, he soon began to search bookstores, garage sales, and estate sales, to pick up clues about the best underground places selling vinyl.
“Once I got a tip that there was this place called Charlie’s Tires,” Sligh recalls. “It had supposedly a ton of records, but you had to go talk to [the owner] Charlie. If you get him on a good day, he’ll let you go down to his basement where he has about 300,000 records.”
Sligh recalls digging for hours amongst the unorganized stacks, finding hundreds of records to add to his collection. He argues that, these days, the excitement of music hunting has been dulled by technology. He loves “the feeling of going through a basement of tens-of-thousands of records that people cherished and spent good money on and then threw away. It’s kind of an island of misfit toys sort of thing.”
Nevertheless, Sligh asserts that he enjoys all sorts of music and would never deign to judge someone on their tastes. As for why he performs? “I don’t do it for the money,” Sligh admits, “it’s just nice to make people happy. That’s really why I like playing. I’m very grateful for everyone here and this place.” | https://thesewaneepurple.org/2017/11/06/artist-of-the-week-isaac-sligh-c18/ | 2018-10-15T18:22:21 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [

Relative pricing dynamics driving European gas hubs
Relative gas, oil & coal price dynamics have driven the evolution of the European gas market over the last year, e.g. contract prices & power sector gas demand.
Relative gas, oil & coal price dynamics have driven the evolution of the European gas market over the last year, e.g. contract prices & power sector gas demand.
February 27, 2017
A number of interesting dynamics have emerged in the European gas market over the last twelve months.
On the supply side, relatively low LNG import volumes have been offset by higher Russian flow volumes. This has been pitched as round one in a multi-year Russian vs LNG import battle for European market share.
On the demand side, European gas consumption recovered in 2016, driven by a sharp increase in power sector gas demand and the onset of a cold winter.
It may be tempting to try understand the drivers of each of these developments in relative isolation. But the events of the last year can to a large extent be explained by the evolution of market pricing dynamics.
Last week we explored the relationship between European hub and spot LNG prices. In today’s article we look at the key relationships between:
These three relationships are key indicators on our European gas market ‘dashboard’. They provide an insight into both the historical evolution of market conditions as well as guidance on the future direction of flows and pricing.
Revisiting the key price benchmarks that drive European hubs
Chart 1 summarises the evolution of hub prices in the context of the last 10 years of history, as well as providing a current snapshot of forward market pricing.

Chart 2 then shows a blown up view of recent history and forward market benchmarks over the next 12 months.
Chart 2: Blown up view of gas price benchmarks
Source: Timera Energy
Some important observations from Chart 2:
We now map these pricing dynamics on to some of the key supply and demand events on 2016.
Is Russia making a grab for market share?
European import volumes from Russia were strong in 2016, at 179 bcm (an approximately 34% market share). This can be compared to a recent historical average closer to 150 bcma.
LNG imports on the other hand were lower than expected, despite the commissioning of significant volumes of new global liquefaction capacity. In January we summarised the outage issues and liquefaction ramping delays that have somewhat curtailed volumes of new LNG supply.
As a result of robust export volumes, Gazprom has been quick to claim round one in its fight for market share against LNG. But the reality is a more complex function of exercise decisions on long term contract volumes.
The flow decisions on the large majority of Russian gas imports, sits with suppliers via long term contract exercise rights. The big boost in Russian import volumes in 2016 came in Q4. Chart 2 illustrates why suppliers nominated high volumes in Q4, given the substantial discount of oil-indexed contract prices relative to hub price alternatives. At the same time, stronger Asian demand was causing LNG cargoes to be diverted away from Europe.
Gazprom may be becoming more assertive in its attempts to grow European market share. But its ability to do this in 2016 had a lot to do with the evolution of hub prices relative to oil and Asian LNG prices. Those tailwinds look to be weakening in 2017.
Gas vs coal switching becomes a reality
A cold start to the current winter helped to support gas demand in Q4 2016. But the primary driver of a recovery in European gas demand relative to 2015 was a sharp increase in power sector gas demand.
Gas demand from European power plants rose by approximately 20 bcm relative to 2015, as CCGTs ran at higher load factors. The key driver of higher gas plant burn was a shift in relative gas vs coal prices.
As 2016 progressed, coal prices surged relative to European gas prices. This meant that CCGTs were more competitive on a variable cost basis, supporting run hours. The coal price surge played an important and underappreciated role in supporting European hub prices in 2016.
Coal prices roughly doubled between Q1 and Q4 2016. This significantly lifted the switching boundaries at which CCGTs displaced coal plants, particularly in UK power market with its carbon price floor. In other words the rise in coal plant variable costs meant that price support from the power sector materialised at higher gas price levels.
Power sector gas demand was particularly strong in Q4 2016, as coal prices surged towards 100 $/t and French nuclear outages were backfilled by CCGTs. This also contributed to the Q4 rally in hub prices that can been seen in Chart 1.
Looking forward into 2017
European hub prices have remained supported into Q1 2017 by ongoing cold weather and relatively low storage inventories. But prices have started to decline in February as regional LNG spot prices have re-converged with North-West European hubs. There looks to be an associated increase in LNG cargoes heading for Europe.
The big rally in oil prices in the second half of 2016 is starting to feed through long term contract price index lags. The effect of this can be seen in Chart 2, with the Russian oil-indexed contract price benchmark rising sharply in Q1 2017.
However current forward market prices suggests that hub gas will once again become cheaper than oil-indexed contracts in Q2. So Russian import volumes are likely to be robust in Q1 2017, but relative pricing dynamics may shift against Russian gas flows as the year progresses. The spread of Asian spot LNG prices over European hubs will also be an important factor to watch as an indication of LNG market tightness.
The key gas demand question for 2017 is to what extent power sector consumption continues to recover. The barometer for further gas for coal switching in 2017 is the relative levels of gas versus coal prices. European coal prices have fallen back from their peak in Q4 2016, but remain elevated (API2 currently around 77 $/t). The extent to which gas hub prices fall into the summer will be an important driver of the relative competitiveness of CCGTs.
We will keep an eye on the key relative price relationships covered in this article as the year progresses.

KABUL - *Ghazni police commander Mohammad Zaman on Tuesday said two members of the Afghan National Police (ANP) were arrested on charges of plotting to sell a security check post to the Taliban. *
The two officers are from Baghlan province but were stationed in Ghazni. They had plotted to sell the check post along with ammunition and weapons to the Taliban when we arrested them, said Mohammad Zaman.
According to the Ghazni police chief, the two officers had established contact with the Taliban in Andar district and had plotted to sell the check post and weapons to the group for 300,000 Pakistani rupees.
“They acknowledged their ties with the Taliban, investigations are going on from them to find out whether some other people also coordinated with them or not,” said Zaman.
Both officers meanwhile have confessed to their crime during the investigations, officials said.
“We contacted the Taliban through Laghman,” said one of policemen.
Ghazni is one of the most volatile provinces in Afghanistan and Taliban have a strong presence in some areas in the province.
Over the past few weeks, security in Ghazni’s Muqur, Dahyak, Qarabagh and Andar district have deteriorated and several battles have been reported between the Taliban and Afghan security forces. | https://timesofislamabad.com/25-Apr-2018/afghan-security-checkposts-on-sale-for-rs-300-000-report | 2018-10-15T17:29:02 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

Adipex is a name of anti-obesity drug, containing anorexic agent Phentermine. The right holder of the trade name Adipex is Teva pharmaceutical company. In 1980 Adipex (Phentermine) was approved by the FDA for the first time and nowadays it is one of the most prescribed anti-obesity drugs in the USA.
There are Adipex oral tablets and capsules, available on the U.S. pharmaceutical market. Every Adipex capsule and Adipex tablet contains 37.5mg of anorexic agent Phentermine. In the U.S. pharmacies, Adipex capsules 37.5mg and Adipex tablets 37.5mg are only available under prescription.
Indications for use of Adipex
- Adipex pills are prescribed for patients with BMI ≥ 30 for treatment of obesity, not complicated by concomitant risk factors.
- Patients with BMI ≥ 27 should take Adipex pills for the treatment of obesity, complicated by hyperlipidemia, diabetes or other concomitant risk factors.
Regardless of the patient’s BMI, as well as complications or their lack, the duration use of Adipex pills must not exceed 3 months. Adipex drug must not be prescribed for a long-term therapy of obesity (over three months) even if patient takes a minimal daily dose of Adipex.
It is recommended to make up a balanced diet plan before getting started with Adipex pills. This diet plan should be followed throughout the entire treatment course of obesity.
But, a prerequisitefor a rapid weight loss is not just the diet, but high physical activity.
How do Adipex pills help to lose weight?
It is known that every Adipex pill contains 37.5mg of Phentermine active substance, which pharmacological effect is to stimulate the central nervous system (CNS). By stimulating the CNS, Phentermine acts in hypothalamus, suppressing hunger and increasing feeling of satiety.
In addition to the fact that Phentermine can suppress the appetite, it also enhances metabolic processes in the human body, also stimulating fat metabolism. Therefore, those people who take Adipex pills lose weight not only due to reduced amount of food they consume, but also because of fat burn, even with the lack of physical activity.
Phentermine is released out of Adipex pills within 1-2 hours after oral intake. Maximum anorectic effect is observed approximately 4 hours after oral intake of a single dose of Adipex.
Given that Adipex (Phentermine) is a powerful CNS stimulant (including noradrenergic and dopaminergic nervous systems), it may cause severe side effects from the CNS (anxiety, depression and insomnia). Therefore, Adipex is contraindicated for patients, diagnosed with mental disorder, or with history of depression and drug dependence.
Taking into account large number of side effects and contraindications for the use, doctor can administer some medical examination before prescribing Adipex 37.5mg pills. Based on results of these studies, the doctor evaluates the appropriateness use of Adipex diet pills and prescribe an optimal daily dose of this prescription weight loss product. | https://top100dietpills.com/adipex-review/ | 2018-10-15T17:11:55 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
ATLANTA (AP) — An Illinois man who falsely claimed to represent big-name entertainers, including musicians like Migos, Lil Yachty and Lil Uzi Vert, and duped clients out of hundreds of thousands of dollars was sentenced Friday in Atlanta to serve nearly four years in federal prison.
U.S. District Judge Amy Totenberg sentenced Octaveon Woods of Decatur, Illinois, to spend three years and 10 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He was also ordered to pay restitution in the amount of $879,718 or less. An exact amount will be determined in the next two weeks.
Woods addressed the court at his sentencing and apologized to the victims, his family and the judicial system for his actions.
Woods created and operated businesses to swindle dozens of victims out of money for concerts and comedy shows that never happened, prosecutors said. The victims included student groups at Emory University and the University of Missouri.
Woods crafted a professional-looking website and drafted complex contracts. He also used aliases to communicate, making clients think that the agency was a multi-person organization. He operated the scheme for years, at least as early as 2015, prosecutors said.
Woods would have clients wire him 50 percent of the booking cost as a deposit. When the performance didn't happen and clients demanded a refund, Woods would direct them to a bogus attorney and have them fill out additional paperwork. After receiving the money, Woods would transfer it to separate accounts and retrieve it as cash.
Woods pleaded guilty in April to wire fraud. He was released on bond in February but was arrested in May for violating bond conditions. He was still operating his scheme up until the point of his arrest, prosecutors said.
When Woods met with a probation officer in February, he gave them false information about his employment, prosecutors said. He said he was self-employed and worked with National Artist Agency before he was discharged for "fraudulent conduct." But prosecutors said that's one of the companies he created and that he had no legitimate employment during this time. | https://townhall.com/news/us/2018/08/10/man-who-falsely-claimed-to-represent-big-acts-gets-prison-n2508846 | 2018-10-15T17:20:10 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |
Send us testimonies on how you feel in your body, and how your self-image affects your life. One of the biggest problems that continues to feed negative body image, low self-esteem and disordered eating is silence. You are not alone with these thoughts.
If the pages of fashion magazines could reveal what readers are thinking as they leaf through image after image of false perfection, or mirrors could repeat back to us what they see and hear as we focus on our flaws, we would have a much clearer idea of how much groundless suffering is really going on. As long as this continues In isolation, it will continue to reach troubling proportions.
Speaking out honestly can not only be liberating, it’s contagiously positive, and every little story can make a big difference for someone else! Together we can start small by changing our own attitudes and perceptions. Then, together, we can make enough noise against the industries that support negative self-image and make profits from our body hatred to bring about tangible changes for everyone.
The same issues are faced by teenage males it would be nice for my design classes to have real men models
I am “lucky” enough to fall more or less into society’s “ideal” body type. I am also lucky to not read magazine or watch much TV where most of the body shaming goes on. I do however sew a bit and choosing sewing templates by looking at a clothes drawn on a typically drawn fashion model is impossible, even when sewing for a very skinny person. I need to know how the clothes will look an actual people! I can’t understand how drawing clothes on stick figures like that can help people form their ideas for real clothing.
I am so happy to see this campaign, I wish the fashion industry (and toy industry…) would start using these models instead the unrealistic ones.
Great site! I offered plus size fashion figures in five basic shapes 17 years ago in my first book, Sewing for Plus Sizes: Design, Fit and Construction for Ample Apparel (Taunton 1999) and now in my Craftsy class, Plus Size Pattern Fitting and Design”

Chile's seafood menus are diverse but order Picoroco if given a choice. (Photo: fish market image by Alexey Stiop from Fotolia.com )
When Chilean families gather around the quincho (barbecue hut) for one of four daily meals, there's no denying the nation's rich heritage. Indigenous plants and legumes eaten by the people of Chile long before waves of conquerors reached her shores continue to be artfully combined with meats and spices, which were introduced by Europeans and travelers from the Middle East. You can sample Chile's Indian roots when you consume a bowl of porotos granados, or salute today's burgeoning premium wine industry to mix old and new, in a nation that's just beginning to find its place on the world's culinary scene.
Explore Chile's earliest food traditions to see how plants and crops have continued to play a major role in Chilean dishes. Chileans' diet followed its own indigenous traditions before the Spanish conquistadors – followed by voyagers from every seafaring culture – arrived circa 1541 to begin introducing olives, walnuts, fruit, rice, spices, sugar, chestnuts, pork, beef, chicken, rabbit, lamb, sausages, milk and cheese to the Chilean diet. Originally, indigenous Chileans enjoyed maize, native fruits, potatoes,quinoa, avocado and locally grown chilis.
Visitors can. Make sure to sample chacarero at least once; this combination of steak, tomato, chili peppers and green beans is a very trendy dish.. If you've got room, you can try crab and abalone cooked in butter, cheese, spices and breadcrumbs, Chilean paella, or clams baked with melted cheese.
Discover.
Vegetarians can avoid meat by partaking in traditional porotos granados, a bean, corn and pumpkin dish. Follow up with Chilean salad and humitas, a boiled corn husk filled with grated corn, fried onions and spices. Sample tomatic'n (tomato and corn stew). Consider chasing your meal with a dessert of dehydrated peaches stewed in barley and peach juice.
You can. Your meal can end with the drink that has the deepest roots in Chile: Pisco, a distilled spirit that packs quite a punch.

The Genetti Family has scheduled a family reunion for the weekend of Friday, October 7th thru Sunday, October 9th, 2016 at Genetti Catering () located in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. All descendants of the family are invited to attend.
Tracing their roots back to the tiny village of Castelfondo located in the Val di Non (Non Valley), Trentino, Italy, this Tyrolean family can document eighteen generations of descendants beginning in the mid-1400’s. There is also historical evidence that the Genetti family was established two hundred years prior to this date in the year 1265.
“With hundreds of cousins throughout the United States, Italy and other countries, we hope to have attendees that represent every branch of our extensive family tree,” states Louise Genetti Roach, the great-granddaughter of Damiano and Oliva Genetti and an avid family genealogist. “Many cousins have contacted us through our family genealogy website and added their own stories and photos to our online archive. This will be a chance for everyone to come together, meet in person and learn about our shared ancestry.”
The Reunion itinerary is as follows:
Oct. 7 – Friday evening – Greet and Meet Reception
Oct. 8 – Saturday – Workshop to include information on DNA testing and family genealogy
Oct. 8 – Saturday – Cocktails and dinner, followed by a presentation by Louise Genetti Roach: “The Genetti Family of Castelfondo: Our Journey to America”
Oct. 9 – Sunday morning – Continental Breakfast and wrap up.
Reunion activities will take place at the ballroom of Genetti Catering, located at 1345 North Church Street in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. For reservation information, please visit the family website at: or email info.genetti.family@gmail.com.
The Genetti Family website is also a comprehensive source of information and photos detailing the history of this family. The photo below is of Damiano Genetti standing in the doorway of the original Genetti family home in Castelfondo, about 1938. Damiano returned to Castelfondo and lived the last 20 years of his life there.

What Not to Do: Ten Ways to Inhibit Innovation
By Paul Sloane
Directors, vice presidents and managers have much more power than they realize. They can patiently create a climate of creativity or they can crush it with subtle comments and gestures. Their actions send powerful signals. Senior managers’ responses to suggestions and ideas are deciphered by staff as encouragement or rejection. If leaders want to crush creativity in an organization and eliminate all the unnecessary bother of innovation, there are ten guaranteed steps to success.
1. Criticize
Criticize all new ideas. Point out some of the weaknesses and flaws that will prevent an idea’s success. The more experienced a leader, the easier it is for that leader to find fault with other people’s ideas. Looking askance at the “new” is anything but new:
- Decca Records turned down the Beatles
- IBM rejected the photocopying idea that launched Xerox
- DEC turned down the spreadsheet
- Various major publishers turned down the first Harry Potter novel
The same thing happens in all types of businesses. New ideas tend to be partly-formed so it is easy to reject them as “bad.” New ideas often diverge from the narrow focus previously established and are, thus, easily discarded. Every time a new idea is criticized, the person with the idea is disinclined to waste further time presenting more suggestions. Criticizing sends a message that new ideas are not welcome and that anyone who volunteers them is risking criticism or ridicule.
2. Ban Brainstorms
Treat brainstorming as old-fashioned and passé. All that results from brainstorming sessions are a lot of new ideas that then have to be rejected. If an organization is not holding frequent brainstorm sessions to find creative solutions then it is not wasting time on new ideas. Management is telling its staff that input is not required. If brainstorming sessions must occur, they should be long, rambling and unfocused with lots of criticism of radical ideas.
3. Hoard Problems
The chief executive and senior team should shoulder the responsibility for solving all the company’s major problems. Strategic issues are too complicated and high-level for the “ordinary” staff – after all, if people at the grassroots levels knew the strategic challenges the organization faces then they would feel insecure and threatened. Do not have the staff involved with serious issues/the big picture – employees should not be challenged to develop solutions.
4. Focus on Efficiency Not Innovation
Focus solely on making the current business model work better. By concentrating on making the current system work better, time will not be wasted looking for different systems. The current business model is the one that is obviously the best one for the business. If the makers of horse drawn carriages, after all, had improved quality they could have stopped automobiles taking their markets. The same principle applies to makers of slide rules, LP records, typewriters and gas lights.
5. Overwork
A company should establish a culture of long hours and hard work. Hard work alone will solve the problem. Leaders should insist on not needing to find a different way of solving a problem – rather harder work at the old way of doing things will eventually solve any issues. Leaders need to assure that the working day has no time for learning, fun, lateral thinking, wild ideas or testing of new initiatives.
6. Adhere to the Plan
An organization must develop a plan in great detail and then not deviate from the plan regardless of circumstances. If an idea was not part of the original plan, there is no budget for it and, thus, the idea would not be implemented. Employees should ignore market changes – they will pass.
7. Punish Mistakes
If an employee tries an entrepreneurial idea that fails, blame and retribution must follow. An organization’s process must be to reward success and punish failure. The existing way of doing things will be reinforced and dangerous experiments will be discouraged.
8. Do Not Look Outside
A company’s leaders understand the business better than outsiders, having worked in it for years. Other industries are fundamentally different – if something works there it will not work here. Consultants are expensive – their ideas are not better than that of a company’s present leadership. By working harder inside the business, solutions will be found.
9. Promote Like People
Promoting from within is a good sign – it retains employees and serves as a reward for loyalty and hard work. More importantly, a company is not polluted by heretical ideas from the outside. If a chief executive officer promotes like people then the company achieves consistency and a clear succession. Any organization would be well-served to find managers who agree with the senior management and support all of their ideas.
10. Do Not Train
Talent cannot be taught – it is it a rare thing possessed by a handful of gifted individuals. There is no point in wasting money to turn ducks into swans. A company needs to work its employees hard, keep them focused on the existing business model and not allow them to experiment. Workshops, budgets and time allocated to creativity and innovation should be looked at as wasteful extravagances.
Conclusion
Although most will rightly conclude that it is best toneverdo any of the aforementioned creativity-killing tricks, most will also be familiar with organizations that run the like this. A company may not employ all of these principles every day, but if a company employs any of these methods it is doing itself a disservice. Creativity is an essential part of an innovation practice. Guided, systematic innovation uses methods and tools to draw creativity out of people – and takes advantage of the quality staff a company already has at its disposal.. | https://triz-journal.com/innovation-tools-tactics/incremental-innovation-tools/ten-ways-inhibit-innovation/ | 2018-10-15T18:16:50 | CC-MAIN-2018-43 | 1539583509336.11 | [] |

First claim 1. A method of operation for a telecommunication device, comprising: transmitting segments at a rate of transmission over a communication path to a receiver telecommunication device and increasing the rate of transmission starting from a first starting point for the rate of transmission, based on feedback received from the receiver telecommunication device provided as acknowledgements of the transmitted segments; receiving a message including one or more bits set to a value predetermined to convey an indication of low congestion irrespective of any particular one of the transmitted segments and so not providing feedback in the form of acknowledgements of the transmitted segments; and in response to the indication of low congestion, performing an accelerated start so as to reach maximum throughput in less time by changing to a second starting point greater than the first starting point and greater than the current rate of transmission, and increasing the rate of transmission starting from the second starting point.

BOXELDER
Acer negundo
family: Maple (Aceraceae)
me'ėškēma
boxelder sap: me'ėškēmamahpe, "boxelder water"; formerly general Cheyenne word for sweetener (Grinnell 1923 I: 249)
Boxelder is fast-growing tree with thin wide-branched top and smooth glaucous shoots. It grows up 10 to 25 m. Leaves are odd-pinnately compound, with 3 to 7 leaflets. Leaflets are 5 to 10 cm long and 3 to 7 cm wide, light green above, lighter under, turning yellow in the fall. Flowers are petite, yellow-green, dioecious, male flowers in clusters, female flowers in drooping racemes. It blossoms in March and April. Fruit is yellow-white paired samara with wings making acute angle. It rippens from June to September. Boxelder grows on moist soils along streams. It ranges from the Eastern USA to central Texas and Oklahoma, central and northwest Kansas, the North Platte valley, eastern slopes of Bighorn Mountains, central Montana, and the south of Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba; also in mountain areas of Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and California; isolatedly in Mexico and Guatemala. It is abundant along streams of eastern Montana (Tallbull 1993: 58). It is introduced to the Czech Republic, frequently in parks, gardens, or along roads.
Before Cheyennes had sugar from white people, in early spring, when it got warmer, they tapped boxelder bark to obtain sweet sap (Grinnell 1923 I: 249). They drained the sap into pouches made from young deers’ stomaches turned inside out. The sap is very hydrous. Syrup makes only thirtieth of the sap, the rest is water. In olden times, Cheyennes put hot stones into the pouches with boxelder sap to evaporate water. Or they used other way. The sap was let freeze overnight and they drew frozen water, which separated off the syrup, from the surface. Metal kettles were uded for boiling the sap in later times. Cheyennes liked much some gelatine candies made of boxelder sap. The shavings from the inner sides of animal hides were added in the syrup. They boiled the shavings with the syrup to mush and let it stiffen. When Cheyennes had no sugar to sweeten coffee, they boiled it in boxelder sap. Mary Fisher, a Cheyenne woman from Montana, mentioned that the sap drained into the deer’s stomach could be stored for later using. The opening was tied shut and the stomach was hung up somewhere (Grinnell 1923 I: 249; Hart 1976: 5, 1981: 13).
Rotten boxelder wood was useful in making a fire (Grinnell 1923 I: 54). Cheyennes preferred boxelder wood for cooking because the coals remain live longer than those of other firewood. (According to our experiences, it burns well even green.) This wood is used during ceremonies in which sage, sweetgrass, juniper leaves, or other incenses are burned. Cheyennes feed fire with it in the Sun Dance Ceremony because the coals remain live and prepared to light the pipe long time. Cheyennes made pipestems of boxelder wood and dishes and bowls of rind galls or knots (Hart 1981: 13; Northern Cheyenne Tribe 2002, Appendix F: 1).
Cheyennes consider boxelder sacred and use boxelder wood dishes or turtle shells for mixing medicines or as ceremonial eating dishes to this day (Tallbull 1993: 58; Hart 1981: 13). A sharpened four-foot boxelder stick, which symbolizes a root-digger, lies on the Sun Dance altar (Grinnell 1923 II: 260).
One of the greatest Cheyenne shamans was named after this tree. Boxelder (Me'ėškēma) or Old Brave Wolf, who was of Só'taeo'o origin, was born around 1795 and died in 1892. He was famous visionary and prophet, his familiar spirits (nésemóono) were wolves chiefly. He became a Sun Dance priest and chief. He went blind in his old age and Cheyennes believed that it made him closer to the spiritual world anymore. He forecasted the arrival of Custer’s soldiers before the Little Big Horn Battle in June 1876 (Hirschfelder and Molin 1992: 27; Powell 1981).
