BkiUaofxK4sA-7sDcv4Q | In my last article, we discussed the need to create a financial plan. The end goal of this is to create a sustainable passive income from your accumulated assets. This is what is commonly known as "financial freedom".
But what exactly is a financial plan?� We have already defined the target as being financial freedom by a certain age. But a financial plan is more than a target - it is a road map on how to get to that target. It needs to take into account as many scenarios as possible which could potentially derail you, and put in place precautionary measures. This allows you to reach your goals even if the worst-case scenario befalls you.
The first thing you need to do is work out what your current monthly expenses are, and how much passive income you need to create from investments to equal that. This sets a clear target to focus on.
The next step is asking yourself how you are going to achieve that level of passive income.
Finally, you need to analyse the things that could potentially stop you from achieving that goal.
This is the easy part. Add up your monthly living expenses, and in a few minutes you will have a figure. If you could receive this level of income from your passive investments, then you are financially free. Essentially, this is retirement. However, we all know that living expenses increase every year due to new additions to the family, changes in lifestyle, or simply the rising cost of living (inflation). Thus the best way to address this issue is to look at your financial target and escalate it by 7% (roughly the average annual rate of consumer price inflation in South Africa) per year. For example, if my target is R20�000 per month, this equates to R240�000 per year. If I escalate that by 7% per year, it means that next year I will need R256�800 to maintain the same purchasing power and standard of living.
This is the tricky part. Passive income is simply the fruits of investments you have made that pay you a recurring income, without decreasing the value of the investments. In a perfect world these investments would keep paying you forever. Sounds beautiful, right?
In reality, building a sizable passive income stream takes a phenomenal amount of hard work, timing, business acumen, investment savvy, luck and most importantly: time. The point I'm making is that if you want to be able to retire one day, you better get investing ASAP.
What are the best ways of generating a passive income? There are many, but the most well-known form is simply contributing to your personal retirement annuity or through a pension/provident fund at your place of work. While these forms have their merit, and are a great way to reduce your overall tax liability, they cannot be your only provision for retirement. Unfortunately, the complacency trap that most people fall into is that of thinking that their pension fund will be enough.
The most crucial thing to remember though, is to manage risk. Structuring your financial plan correctly, with low-risk investments forming the base of your wealth plan, is an intelligent way to offset unforeseen events which could have significant negative effects on your balance sheet.
Start by planning for catastrophic events such as the death of a breadwinner or a tragic accident which limits your ability to earn an income. These events cannot be offset by saving, 99% of people simply do not have the capacity to save enough money to provide an income in such a situation. Taking out insurance for these events is a prudent way of offsetting these risks.
The next step is to evaluate your long-term investment goals, such as retirement saving. These are long-term investment commitments that are contributed to on a monthly basis, with a defined goal in mind. Once this is achieved, it can then be followed by medium term savings, for events such as sending your children to university. Once you have provided for these needs, you can then focus on discretionary investments with a higher risk, such as trading in shares, CFDs, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Every person is different, with a different tolerance for risk, investment time horizon, and personal financial circumstances. As such, you require a personalised financial plan. This plan is composed of two parts, namely wealth protection and wealth creation.
In my upcoming articles, I will cover the basics of wealth protection and wealth creation. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUdOM4uBhi1_IMibFs | Springfield City Council members will decide whether to put an advisory referendum on the April ballot that asks voters whether Capital Township should merge with the city, all while Mayor Jim Langfelder pitches a new type of township merger to county officials.
At a Committee of the Whole meeting Thursday, council members, with no discussion, moved forward a resolution for a final vote that would place the city-township merger question on the April ballot. The council's vote could come as soon as Jan. 3.
Capital Township mostly shares the same boundaries as the city of Springfield. A state law passed in recent years allows townships to dissolve into the cities that share the same boundaries through a binding referendum. Capital Township, however, is unique among townships. By statute, the Sangamon County clerk is the township assessor and the Sangamon County treasurer is the township supervisor.
Currently, the township and county share several employees, building space and computer systems. Also, unlike many townships, Capital Township does not maintain roads. It focuses on the other two duties townships often provide: welfare assistance and property assessment.
Township residents overwhelmingly approved an advisory referendum on the November ballot asking whether to merge Capital Township with Sangamon County. County officials have said they plan to lobby the legislature to create a bill that would allow for a county-township merger.
An effort to ask voters in November about a township-city merger never made it out of city council committee. After the effort failed, Langfelder and other aldermen vowed to go the other route of getting a question on the ballot — collecting petition signatures.
Langfelder said Thursday he had gathered a "couple hundred" signatures for the ballot question by the time he filed for re-election in November. However, he said he stopped collecting signatures from election-weary voters and decided to focus on a new proposal — an intergovernmental agreement between the county and the city.
In a Wednesday email to city council members obtained by The State Journal-Register, Langfelder shared he met with county administrator Brian McFadden to propose the agreement. The mayor said he wanted to reach an "amicable" agreement, instead of getting into a "tug of war" over the township.
One condition of the agreement would be that a committee made up of two county board members, two city council members, the mayor, the county board chair and members of the public would oversee the township fund and its expenses, as well as determine the initial property tax rebate percentage that would be a consequence of savings from a merger.
The Sangamon County treasurer would be named administrator of the fund, and services would be provided by county employees. The fund would cover the same services its currently does but could also help with homelessness initiatives.
Also, the property tax multiplier would be frozen at the current rate or the rate after savings were rebated to township residents to prevent property taxes from escalating in the future after the "first splash of savings," Langfelder said.
"We should have oversight because these are taxpayers of the city, so we should be paying attention to what they are paying out, making sure it's not a runaway train, so to speak," Langfelder said.
The proposal isn't final, Langfelder said Thursday. He said local legislative leaders encouraged him to work out the township question on the local level before approaching the legislature. Motivation for the county to approve the intergovernmental agreement would be Langfelder's help and the city's support to get a bill through the legislature, he said.
Langfelder said he hoped to meet with county officials again to talk about the proposal before the next city council meeting. He said he didn't have an indication yet of what county officials thought of the plan.
Langfelder said he still wanted council members to approve the April ballot question in case the county does not agree to the intergovernmental agreement.
"It is my intent to come up with an amicable agreement of consolidation with the County," Langfelder wrote in the email to city council members. "However, if an agreement is not reached, we can then exercise our rights to consolidate Capital Township with the City." | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUeFM5qoYDgb9DIWcQ | Just Another Day...: Potty Time?
I'm tired of diapers. Especially the dirty, stinky ones. I'm tired of changing them, and I'm tired of paying for them. I'm longing for the day we get Chase out of diapers, and I recently started thinking we'd give it a try sooner than later. But my mommy instinct is telling me he's just not quite ready to tackle that yet.
I looked back to see when we potty trained LO, and remembered it wasn't until after we returned home following Chase's birth and Norwood when she was 2 1/2 years old. I documented her "training" in this post (also copied below for your reading pleasure) and I'm afraid she set the bar a bit too high. Seriously. It was like, 2 days of training and she was DONE. Trained. Fully trained both day and night. Zero accidents since. See what I mean? Set the bar too high. I'm scared thinking about what Chase has in store for us! Haha!
Of course, I also have the heart mom dilemma of potty training him before his Fontan. So if we wait until he's 2 1/2, that'll be in April. Chances are, with him being so chunktastic, that his Fontan could take place as early as this summer/fall ((shudder)). And let's remember he's a boy, and I think I've heard boys are harder than girls to potty train? So I just don't know what to do. I try to keep my parenting timeline with Chase as close to LO's as possible, because I want him to be treated the same and not feel different because of his special heart, and being consistent with the kids is one way I feel I can do this from an early age. But I also don't want to be spinning my wheels for nothing! Ugh. Anyone have any thoughts/comments to help a mama out??
For your reading pleasure, here's a post I wrote last January about LO's potty successes. Enjoy the video, too -- it's one of my faves of that little girl of mine!
You know, keeping your parenting similar between two kids is one thing, trying to keep them on the same milestone guideline is something else entirely. I completely agree with you that your disciplining should be as consistent as possible with both kids (leaving room for natural age gap differences), just because you don't want Chase getting preferential treatment for his heart.
For Bodie, we have a potty out. When he's ready, we'll work on training. He tells me when he went poop or pee and likes to sit on the potty, but hasn't actually gone yet.
With Sierra, we jumped the gun a little bit (she seemed interested, but looking back, probably wasn't as interested as we thought) and it literally took us 18 months to train her - we started before Bodie was born and then all heck broke loose after he came. It literally wasn't until he was home and our life had settled a bit that she trained - and she did it in 2 days at that point.
Good luck mama - I'm so curious to hear what you end up deciding to do! In the meantime, we'll keep washing diapers over here on our end (cloth-diapering Bodie) until we're right there with you potty training!
She is 4 1/2 and still has accidents.
Yes. I know. Pretty bad.
I'm a very laid back parent when it comes to these types of things, but I'm honsetly about to pull my hair out with her.
I'm telling you this because I was in your frame of mind a year or so ago. I kept putting off potty training, waiting until after her Fontan. I just knew that any effort I put into it pre-Fontan would be thrown out of the window with such a difficult, traumatic event in her life and such a long period in the hospital.
Moms I've spoken to about this say that their children did very well with the potty training once the children recovered. (I think we parents forget how quickly they recover and bounce back, even while in the hopsital.) Adults, not so much!!
Anywho, MC has additional "issues" and I know each child is so very different, but if you think he is interested in going potty in the least, I'd jump on it. Doesnt' hurt to try. I sure wish I had.
I know MC will get it some day. The little stinker is so hard headed and such a little mess right now! She is old enough to know better but so darn hard headed at this age.
I have a 4 1/2 year old with HLHS. He had the Fontan when he was almost 3 1/2. I did not force the potty training before his Fontan. We introduced him to the 'potty' when he was 2. He did not take to it and in the back of my mind I knew of the regression he could experience during and after the Fontan. I didn't want to potty train twice. From 2 years to 3 years we would casually offer for him to potty and he would do it every once in a while. Once we got to the Fontan, he was maybe half trained. He went through the Fontan in pull ups. It was a blessing because there were no issues to get his bladder going during our time in the hospital. At about a month post Fontan we focused hard on potty training. It took us 6 months of training and he was 95% trained (few accidents here and there). He is a little over 4 1/2 now and there are no worries. Hope your training goes smoothly. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUc1Y5qoYApuLfLHmf | Digital marketing has changed the way in which marketers brand and market their organizations. More importantly, it is constantly changing. The techniques that used to work no longer do, so new techniques are always evolving. The good news is that it is not expensive to try out many of these methods. If they don't work, fail fast and move on.
Integrated, omnichannel digital campaigns are a necessity.
Digital marketing no longer means running a simple AdWords campaign. Successful digital campaigns must use consistent messaging across multiple channels and touchpoints. Other than the obvious branding benefits, this approach allows you to integrate your message and value proposition to the same audience through multiple channels to accelerate pipeline velocity and help your sales team close deals.
Multi-touch, full-funnel strategies parallel the buyer journey.
If the first message you see from a business is "free demo!" they're doing it wrong. Digital campaigns must parallel the buyer's journey. First-touch messaging and assets must be high level and educational. The next message or asset the user sees should be determined by the actions taken (or not taken) at the previous touchpoint until the user is convinced to demo a product or speak with a salesperson.
User intent beats user interest.
Digital ad messaging should tell the same story but use different words. Persona-based targeting is the key to success in the digital space and in marketing in general. While the message, be it a headline or a call to action, must convey value and story, the language used in the digital space should reflect the intent of your individual prospect. A CFO might be triggered by the word "profit," while a CEO might prefer the word "growth." Don't know which one will work? Herein lies the benefits of testing.
An efficient digital campaign requires A/B testing.
A/B testing in the digital space is one of marketing's most powerful tools. Testing hypotheses, messages, CTAs and creative allows you to adjust your strategy to squeeze the most out of your marketing budget. The same ad can no longer live indefinitely in one channel. Though it may remain there, it will become invisible to your audience unless you are constantly testing and updating it.
The end of email marketing is near, and smart inboxes, busy executives and templated emails are to blame. Marketers (and salespeople) have to rethink the tools they use to reach their prospects directly. How many promotional emails do you get a day? 10? 20? 50? Your marketing email isn't special -- it's clutter. This is not to say that email marketing should be scrubbed from your strategy entirely, only that expectations for this tactic should be lowered. I'm going back to experimenting with old-school snail mail but with digital tracking, and it's working.
Digital marketing requires a tool stack.
It's hard to build anything with only one tool -- especially your pipeline. Front-end platforms, backend systems and intelligent tools in the middle are a must. Tools like Marketo and Eloqua help marketers organize, score and nurture their leads, while platforms like AdWords, LinkedIn, Facebook and AdRoll help attain them. Sure, you can capture leads using only one platform, but your audience most likely lives on all of them. More importantly, your audience behaves differently on each platform. That's why you must keep your message consistent and spread it wide as you adapt to the changing digital marketing landscape.

Don't @ Me: Thirteen of my Anime Opinions: Netflix's Cowboy Bebop Edition
November 22, 2021 November 22, 2021 DewbondLeave a comment
It's Monday which means it is time for this! Welcome back to Don't @ Me! The place where, like the live action Faye Valentine, I call people dickwads as I give you my thoughts and views on everything anime and manga related. This week can only be about that fucking show. So let's sit down, drink heavily and get it over with it.
I debated how I was going to approach this. I was going to go full negative, but that's not who I am. I view things objectively and fairly, and I don't want rage, most of which isn't my own to overshoot what I think is worth talking about. So as always, let's take a breath and look at this objectively.
2. I should also preface that I am not a Cowboy Bebop fan. I reviewed the anime a short while back and I was at best, lukewarm on the entire show. It's beautifully animated with a fantastic soundtrack and (for it's time) the best anime dub ever made. But it was also too episodic with under developed characters and a focus on storylines that did nothing to pull me in. It deserves its praise, but I do think my generation has put this on too high a pedestal. With all that said, what do I think about the live action version?
3. Had the show just been something wholly unique, I think it might have been enjoyable. There would have been comparisons to Firefly, most likely views as the 'zoomer' version of that, but I think it would have gotten a good reception. Not the best by any means, but I think there would have been more favorable thoughts.
4. But instead, it was Cowboy Bebop, the (honestly overrated) holy grail of an entire anime generation. One of the few shows that non-anime fans have watched and enjoyed. Couple that with the already sub-zero reputation live-action anime has, we all knew this was going to suck. It was just a question of how much.
5. And to be fair, I will say two nice things. One is that the actor who plays Jet Black is probably the best translation from anime to live-action there has ever been. He falls into the role completely. The other is that the sets do feel true to form, if a little low budget. But hey, credit where it is due, those two things work.
6. The rest however, is absolutely no holds barred, 100% uncut, true to form, fucking garbage. I could, as I am sure many will, sit here and nitpick the entire series to death, but since I am not a fan, and have better things to do, I'm going to focus on one thing: Faye Valentine. And I just want to ask one question.
7. Women of the anime fandom and nerd culture. Is that what you think a well developed female character is? Is that what you think is empowering, and strong, and admirable? Taking apparently one of the most iconic femme fatales of the 4kids/Toonami Generation and turning her into…that? Is that really what people think women want to see? Ladies, is that what you want to see? I can't answer the question, but it just boggles my mind
8. Do people not have any faith in the source material? Did people really look at Faye Valentine, and go "you know what she needs? To swear all the fucking time, act like a teenage brat and be a lesbian for some reason." Is that what people think is "changing for the better?" Are these the people we are going to entrust with some of the most beloved and respected characters in the medium?
9. And look, reasonable people knew a 1 to 1 adaptation was never in the cards. I made my thoughts clear on the costume change before. Reasonable sane people didn't expect that. But they DID expect the creators not to fuck around in the sandbox that much. There is some of that in the show, but there is also a flagrant disregard for other stuff, and again, it baffles my mind.
10. Because honestly, look at what they did to Faye has me absolutely terrified for any other live action anime they do. I've said this before, but female characters in anime are so beloved not because of their measurements, but because they don't have anything to prove. They aren't justifying their existence every second. They get to be all types of characters, for all types of people. Can you imagine the people who did this to Fay taking a swing at Kurisu? Rin Tohsaka, Yoko Littner, Murrue Ramius, Saber, just to name a few?
11. And yeah, I'll admit anime is not perfect. There are tropes and archetypes, some that are leaned on far too often. But it is far and away MUCH better than people really see it as. Of course that is my view, other fans, especially female ones might have a different opinion and that can be valid. But what was done to Faye here wasn't just disrespectful, it was downright fucking criminal. And again, I'm NOT A FAN of the anime version of Cowboy Bebop.
12. And I haven't even talked about what they did to Vicious, Julia, or poor freaking Gren. But actions on display do not fill me with any hope that western media companies are going to treat these works with any SLIVER of true respect. They won't let the characters be who they are, and instead (especially for the female characters) twist and transform them into whatever they think will trend on twitter. I think we all knew this was going to happen, but it doesn't make what we saw any less of a true gut punch.
13. So in conclusion. The One Piece live action anime is so horribly fucked.

Hackers Pose a Threat to Medical Practices
How Doctors Feel About the Affordable Care Act in 2015
Nearly 400 healthcare providers responded to the Affordable Care Act Survey between December 2014 and February 2015, answering questions about how their opinion on health reform has changed since it was signed into law in March 2010. View the slideshow…
(HealthDay News) — Steps should be taken to protect medical practices, including small practices, from hackers, according to a report published in Medical Economics.
The authors note that physicians at small practices assume they are not attractive to hackers and consequently have lax security, making them candidates for an easy hack.
According to the report, physicians should be aware that small practices are still a target, with attractive data sets that can be monetized on the internet black market, especially as larger organizations improve security. The phishing attack is the most common way of gaining unauthorized entry, via a legitimate-looking e-mail with an attachment that gives the hacker access; phishing attacks can also occur via text or phone calls. Employee training and prioritizing security are the first specific strategies to stop hackers. In addition, all operating systems on all devices should be regularly patched; care should be taken using social media; anti-virus software should be used; and attention should be payed to open wi-fi networks in the office, such as in the waiting room. Levels of administrative access should be limited, and all data must be backed up.
"Security has to be ingrained as part of the culture of the practice," John Riggi, from BDO's Center for Healthcare Excellence & Innovation and a former chief of the FBI's Cyber Division Outreach Section, said in the article. "The threat is not going away and can never be eliminated — only mitigated."

BkiUdwrxK0zjCsHebO9M | Rand Paul's ideological enemies
It's newsworthy, I suppose, that Rand Paul's social media director is a neo-Confederate who loves John Wilkes Booth and likens Abe Lincoln to Saddam Hussein. But what's more interesting is that the hit job on Senator Paul was posted on a conservative website. And even more interesting is the reason for the hit.
If you're only a casual follower of the GOP's internal dynamics, you might be mystified that a conservative site would assail Paul for having "fringe-figure associations." After all, isn't the Kentucky senator an ascendant conservative rock star with 2016 presidential aspirations? Why tarnish that star with a lengthy article detailing the past statements of Paul employe Jack Hunter, an ex-radio shock jock who calls himself the "Southern Avenger" and sometimes wears a face mask emblazoned with the Confederate flag?
Welcome to the party's ideological knife fight; to figure out what's happening in that internecine subculture, you almost need a flow chart. But I'll keep it simple.
A bank shot
Conservativism is not monolithic, and, right now, various factions are jockeying for supremacy in the long prelude to 2016. Rand Paul is a conservative libertarian, which means that he believes in small government at home and minimal American intervention abroad. His brethren on the right generally share his belief in small government at home, but many of them fiercely disagree with his belief in minimal intervention abroad. And that disagreement is fiercest among the folks who call themselves neoconservatives.
Ah, now we're getting somewhere.
The Washington Free Beacon – the site that broke the story and prompted Kentucky's top newspaper to pick up the story – knows that Paul is politically vulnerable on this southern racial stuff. During Paul's '10 bid for the Senate, his campaign treasurer was outed for having a website that slurred black people (Paul had to fire him); and Paul himself was outed for having written, in 2002, that it was OK "in a free society" if private property owners discriminated against people they hated (the 1964 Civil Rights Act bars restaurant and hotel owners – private property – from practicing that kind of discrimination).
Plus, his father Ron was outed a few years ago for having published newsletters that were replete with racist commentary. None of this should be surprising, because, within libertarianism, there's a subfaction known as "neo-Confederates" who still haven't made peace with the outcome of the Civil War. But I promised to keep this simple. Suffice it to say that the Free Beacon knew it was trodding fertile turf when it zapped Paul for harboring Hunter (who, prior to becoming social media director, helped to ghost-write Paul's 2011 book).
But the Free Beacon's real concern is not Paul's stance on race. Its real concern is Paul's stance on foreign policy and American intervention abroad. The race story was merely the juciest way to go after him, a means to an end. In politics, this is what is known as a bank shot.
Remember the 2012 Republican debates, where Rick Santorum (a neoconservative who wanted to flex U.S. muscle in Iran and other hot spots) clashed repeatedly with Rand Paul's father (who argued for non-intervention)? What's happening this week – via other means – sustains that fundamental clash, one that is growing within the GOP. As political analyst and think tank scholar Norman Ornstein noted yesterday, Rand Paul is situated at "the epicenter of anti-defense and anti-diplomacy isolationism." Paul's ideological enemies hope to shrink that epicenter by diminishing his influence. Hence the Hunter hit.
Attack of the neocons
It just so happens that the Free Beacon was founded by staffers from William Kristol's neoconservative Weekly Standard; the ediitor, Matthew Continetti, is married to Kristol's daughter. The site made its own bones earlier this year by repeatedly savaging Secretary of Defense nominee Chuck Hagel for the alleged crime of opposing the neoconservative war in Iraq. Indeed, if you read deep into the Hunter story, you find the real goods: "Since becoming Paul's social media director, Hunter has publicly vouched for the senator's non-interventionist bona fides…Hunter has also said that Rand Paul holds the same foreign policy views as his father."
The Free Beacon story was also referenced this week on another prominent neoconservative site, Powerline, but only in passing – because Powerline deemed Paul's non-interventionism to be far more important. Hunter was assailed in the post mostly because he appears to echo Paul's tepid support for Israel. The verdict: "Rand Paul is a clown….Rand Paul certainly isn't fit ever to direct U.S. foreign policy."
In all likelihood, this intramural conservative war will continue indefinitely, and Paul won't be the only pol who takes hits. An identity crisis is actually quite natural when a party is out of the White House; heck, the Democrats waged war on each other when Jimmy Carter was still in the White House, and they sustained it clear through the 1980s. I covered the 1980 convention as a young 'un, and I wrote at the time: "The Democratic party no longer knows what it stands for anymore. (It has) a contradictory agenda that perfectly mirrors the schizophrenia afflicting a party which is groping for new meaning and purpose."
Today it's the other side's turn.

BkiUc9k4ubngw5GMeoAm | NIST Launches Vulnerability Tracking Site
by Michael Hall
A new site from NIST tracks the latest vulnerabilities and offers up-to-date RSS to help security admins keep up.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has launched a new site designed to ease the process of keeping up with the latest vulnerability information.
The National Vulnerability Database (NVD) was developed by NIST's Computer Security Division, and is sponsored in part by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's National Cyber Security Division. According to NIST, it currently contains information on almost 12,000 vulnerabilities. NIST says that approximately 300 new vulnerabilities are reported each month.
The NVD draws its data from all publicly available U.S. government resources, organized using the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) (define) dictionary.
In addition to providing constantly updated information, NIST provides several means to access its data via a product integration page on the NVD site. Several XML files covering vulnerabilities are available, as are a schema and DTD (define). An RSS feed (define) of the most recent vulnerabilities is available, as is sample HTML for integration of a search form.

46 of 2008
MATRIMONIAL CIVIL CAUSE NUMBER 46 OF 2008
AGNESS SANDE……………………………………………...PLAINTIFF
-AND -
BENARD SANDE…………………………………………...DEFENDANT
CORAM:
THE HONOURABLE JUSTICE E. B. TWEA
Petitioner present in person
Respondnet present if person
Mrs Matenkenya – Court Interpreter
J U D G M E N T
The parties in this case appeared before this court upon a referral for distribution of matrimonial property after divorce. When I
perused the record, I noted that there are two laws applied: Customary law and Islamic rites I directed that I rehear the parties.
The petitioner called three witnesses including herself. The respondent gave evidence in person.
The evidence was not disputed.
It is on record that the petitioner before she met the respondent was a business lady. The respondent approached her and proposed
but she refused him. Later the brother of the respondent came to her and told her that he was a good man. It was her evidence that
the respondent told her that he was a divorcee and had two children. She too had two children from her previous unions. The respondent
was taken to the village of the petitioner and introduced to her parents. It was accepted as a suitor. It was her evidence however
that when they left the village the respondent informed her that he had five children. He told her that he had hit to her parents
in order to gain acceptance. When she questioned him about the mothers of the children he dismissed the topic.
It was her evidence that she initially lived in Machinjiri while the respondent was in South Africa. He came back when his mother
fell ill and joined her. They lived happily until he acquired a house which they moved into in Kanjedza.
It was her evidence that she discovered that the respondent had another wife. He had lied that he was divorced. The other wife sued
him in court and later came and took all the property from their house. The respondent started buying new furniture and other necessities
which he labeled with his name and date of purchase. She told this court that the respondent was neglecting to provided for her so
she started a business as an airtime vender. The respondent was unhappy with her and employed his former wife's relatives to
spy and scorn her to leave the house. She did not.
Eventually the matter was referred to their religious leader where the respondent publicly indicated that he did not want her as a
wife. The clergy then decreed a 3 months in house separation when they should not have sexual intercourse. It was the evidence pf
PW3 Sheikh Mahomad Osman Mutalika that this period is decreed to allow parties to reconcile, and also to determine whether or not
the woman is expecting a child. Should the parties resume conjugal relationship they will be deemed to have reconciled.
The evidence of the petitioner was that the respondent would leave the house to stay at his other wife's house. He also admitted
to other extra marital sexual relations. Further, that he would harass her for conjugal relations but she refused him requesting
him that they should go back to the religious leaders for reconciliation which he always referred. She referred his conduct to the
religious leaders who in turn cautioned the respondent. It was her evidence that she eventually left the matrimonial house as she
could not bear what the respondent was doing.
It is on record that she took some household property when leaving.
The respondent largely, did not dispute the evidence of the petitioner. He contended however, that he suspected that the petitioner
was having an affair because he has not found her at home on three occasions. He also refused to accept her explanations. He told
this court that after the village ceremony they celebrated their marriage according to Islamic rites. It was therefore his firm belief
that all aspects of their marriage had been dealt with. He was surprised that lies wife then went to Court and then that this court
was still trying the case.
I have considered the concern raised by the respondent.
It is clear in this case that the parties contracted a customary marriage. There was consent to the marriage form the family of the
petitioner and the respondent. There were marriage advocates for each party. It is also clear from their evidence that after their
marriage at custom they went to their religion and registered their marriage under the Islamic rites. There is no statute which governs
non – Christian marriages for Malawians. It is clear that the Asiatic (Marriage, Divorce and Succession) Act, (Cap. 25:03)
of the Laws of Malawi, covers marriages, in Malawi, of non – Christian whether domiciled in Malawi or not. The position at
law however, is clear, all marriages other than those under the Marriage Act, or Asiatic (Marriage, Divorce and Succession) Act are
governed by the customary law under which they are contracted. All marriages of Malawians or non Malawians who marry under customary
law are governed by the customary laws under which their marriages are contracted. The institutions of religion to which they subscribe
do not change the status of their marriages as customary law marriages. For those who subscribe to Islamic rites, the position is
the same as Malawians of Christian faith under African Marriage (Christian Rites) Registration Act Section 3. The Sheikh or authorities
faith leaders may celebrate the marriage at an authorized place in accordance with Islamic rights. This position is supported by
the evidence of PW3, Sheikh Muhamad Osman Mutalika who told this court that:
"People seek each other, then there is parental consent and then the Bureau (Islamic) as a religious issue. When there is a dispute,
the Koran requires settlement within the family. If they cannot settle, their advocates come in. If the advocates cannot settle the
matter comes to the Bureau for advise. The Bureau as a religious institution. …They are told what follow as per Islamic".
It was clear from his evidence that the Bureau would give advise and assist any party that profess the faith whether or not they celebrated
their marriage at the Bureau. The basic tenets of one's faith will dictate ones conduct of ones affairs. In this respect therefore
Section 7(2) of Asiatics (Marriage, Divorce, Succession) Act would equally apply to all faith; that is
"(2) A Court may ascertain the law of any religion or any custom by any means which it think fit, and may at on information which appears
to the Court to be credible though it is not legal evidence, and in case of doubt or uncertainty may decide as the principles of
justice, equality, and good conscience may dictate".
I must point out that Cram J took the same view in Lambat V Ismail Mussa Omar, 1964 – 66 ALR Mal. 511.
The respondent told this Court that he was surprised that the lower Court and this Court entertained the complaint by his wife. In
his view, this matter was dealt with and finalized at their mosque by the religious leader. This view is not supported by the evidence
of PW3, Sheikh Mutalika. It was his clear evidence, that faith leaders at mosques do not divorce couples. This is done by couples
themselves. The faith leaders only come in to help reconcile or advise on proper conduct according to the tenets of Islam. It is
in this respect that they were advised to live together but separate for three months. Clearly the respondent failed to live by the
tenets of the faith he professes. He, not only took conjugal solace from his other wife, but also had extra marital affairs, harassed
his estranged wife and gratified himself openly to her annoyance and dismay. This Court got the impression that it was his contention
that since he had informed his wife that he did not want her anymore in her presence and in the presence of their marriage representatives
and faith leaders he had therefore divorced her. It should be noted that none of the witnesses testified to the respondent pronouncing
or issuing a "talaq" against his wife. It is therefore doubtful whether there was a "divorce" at this stage.
In any case I take heed of the view of Coram J, in the Lambat case (supra) page 516:
"The parties are not only bound in joint contract. In this country, at least, they must be held to enjoy some status. This seems to
be the case in progressive Muslim countries such as Pakistan. The State is entitled to regard a husband and a wife as a family unit;
there is more to their relationship than mere contract.
An arbitrary divorce at the instance of the husband in insufficient grounds, indeed where he himself if the wrongdoer".
This position, on "equality" and "Status" of husband and wife in this country now has Constitutional recognition.
In the present case the respondent nor only lied of his marital status when proposing to her, he also conspired with his brother to
do so. He lied to the parents of the petitioner, he wrongfully accused her of having extra marital relationships. Stopped her from
doing business, spied on her in her own house, allowed third parties to insult her and generally made it a point to make for feel
unwanted in the house. Such conduct would not be approved of by any right – thinking members of the community even co –
religionists.
Let me also mention that it is recognized by this court that courts do not have a monopoly of the jurisdiction over divorce. Parties,
if they consent, can, by mutual agreement, dissolve their marriage at custom within the families before the village civic authorities
or other tribunals, including faith organizations where applicable. Namate V Namate and Mhango 9 MLR 334 at page 337, See also section 39(2) of Traditional Courts (Procedure) Rules. However, if one party does not consent or is aggrieved, that party
is at liberty to go to Court. Section 11(4) of the Constitution, makes it clear that any law that costs or purposes to own the jurisdiction
of the Courts shall be invalid. Equally religious institutions cannot cost the jurisdiction of the court. The petitioner therefore,
was at liberty to come court and the courts have jurisdiction on this and any such case.
In this case the lower court upheld the divorce before the Islamic Bureau. I however, decide to do so. As I said earlier, in this
Country, under our Constitution, a summary divorce a husband, more particularly if it is unjustified, would not held to conform to
the principles of justice, equality and morality. Every party has a right to be heard, before being condemned. This position was
well recognized as far back as the Lambat case (supra).
However, on the evidence before one, I find that it has been established that the respondent not only lied when marrying the petitioner,
but he also treated her with contempt so as to make her living in house unbearable. Granted she is the one who left, but the court
has to take into account that this was the intention of the respondent, by his conduct, that she should leave the matrimonial home,
if at all, we can describe it as such. I would therefore grant her the divorce and I so order.

Wanli Tire Made its debut at "Auto Guangzhou" with Its Four Main Brands
On November 20, "The 13th China (Guangzhou) International Automobile Exhibition themed "New Technology ? New Life" officially opened. Wanli Tire became the first Chinese tire brand entering the finished automobile exhibition hall. It launched the conceptual tires – PINONEER with the main concept of "Environmental Protection" and made its debut with its four main brands in the Hall 1.2 at Pazhou Complex.
Wanli Tire's "conceptual tires" and four main brands made their debut
Wanli Tire's theme for participating in this automobile exhibition is "New Wanli? Taking the Lead", hoping toget Wanli brand a new start and thoroughly refresh its brand image through this international automobile exhibition. "Taking the Leading" reflects Wanli Tire's ambition to become the leading brand in China's tire industry.
Wanli Tire had an exhibition stand with a total area of 315 m2 in the finished automobile exhibition hall. The design of the exhibition stand took "Road of Wanli" as the main concept, started with the mutual relationship between tires and the ground to refine the key word "road", and divided the exhibition stand into three parts with the "road" as the partitions. The exhibition stand covers Wanli Tire's conceptual tires, run-flat tires, colored tires and the four main whole-series products. The exhibition stand fully embodied new Wanli's fresh vision impression and fashionable feeling of science and technology. During the exhibition period, Wanli Tire's exhibition stand would regularly present magnificent stage performance and interesting interactive games.
At this automobile exhibition, Wanli Tire not only became the first Chinese tire brand entering the finished automobile exhibition hall but also was the first enterprise launching conceptual tires among Chinese tire brands. Wanli Tire launched the conceptual tires to cater to the trend of international tire market featuring run on flat, narrow cross section and large size. Wanli Tire's conceptual tires are named "Pioneer". The word "Pioneer" implies forerunner and explorer, which just accords with the innovation concept of Wanli Tire. This time, Wanli Tire put its innovation concept into practice, which can be called a "Pioneer" initiative. Meanwhile, "PIONEER" is a powerful word acoustically. It can be said that the name "Pioneer" has a profound meaning, reflecting Wanli Tire's breakthroughs and changes in all kinds of performances.
"Pioneer" takes safety, environmental protection and energy conservation as its main selling points. In terms of safety, it is the first kind of run-flat tire dedicated to new energy automobiles, making driving safer. The tire surface adopts high-performance material formula, featuring better slippery resistance and abrasion performance. In terms of environmental protection and energy conservation, "Pioneer" lives up to the title of "natural green" both in pattern design and production materials. In pattern design, "Pioneer" adopts bionics design, designing the patterns on the surface of tire by simulating the shape of bamboo leaves. Compared with normal tires, such design can effectively reduce about 10% of rolling resistance, and this rolling coefficient is equivalent to reaching the EU's Grade B, so the tires are more environmentally friendly. In materials, eucommea rubber, colza oil, mandarin oil and other natural medicinal material and plants are added to "Pioneer" to replace such harmful substances as aromatic oil in the process of tire manufacturing. Therefore, "Pioneer" has realized safety, environmental protection and energy conservation both in the use process and the later scrapping process.
The adaptive vehicle mode of "Pioneer" conceptual tires at this automobile exhibition is JAC new energy vehicle IEV5. It can be said that the new energy vehicles and the conceptual tires featuring safety, energy conservation and environmental protection match each other and complement each other perfectly.
In addition to the mainly launched conceptual tires, Wanli Tire also carried its four main product series – "Wanli", "Diamond", "Aptany" and "Sunny" to participate in the exhibition. "Wanli brand", as the basic brand of Wanli Tire, is widely demanded and has a good reputation in the market, with the products of more than 2,000 specifications and patterns. The products have such three series as radial tires of passenger cars, radial tires of light trucks and TBR tires ranging from 12" to 30", covering a number of vehicle modes such as sedans, SUVs, large buses, heavy trucks etc. Wanli Tire's new flagship product SA302 just launched this summer will make its debut at the automobile exhibition. Its high performance is comparable with or even exceeds that of some international famous brand tires. "Diamond" brand is a high-end brand of Wanli Tire, mainly entering some high-end sub-markets, such as large-size tires, run-flat tires, winter tires, colored tires etc, and it presents new Wanli Tire's high-end image and. "Aptany" and "Sunny" are mainly sold to foreign countries. "Aptany" adopts lightweight design with relatively shallow patterns, so the energy consumption in production process is lower and the materials are more environmentally friendly. "Sunny", as an affiliated brand of Wanli Tire overseas, is mainly responsible for filling up Wanli Tire's bland areas in sales, with abrasion resistance and practicability as its advantages. These four main series present the diversity of Wanli Tire's products and meet the requirements of various medium and high-end markets at home and abroad in an all-round way.
In 2015, China's tire industry, affected by "anti-dumping duty and anti-subsidy duty", micro growth of auto market and other various negative factors, was in the period of turbulence as a whole. According to the statistics of China Rubber Industry Association Tire Branch, in the first three quarters, the whole industry realized tire sales revenue of 118.778 billion yuan, with a year-on-year decrease of 13.53%, and the industry profit saw a year-on-year decrease of 34.99%. On this occasion, Wanli Tire still saw a growth against trend, with the rate of operation maintaining at 100% throughout the year. During January to October, Wanli Tire sold a total of 9.76 million tires, with a year-on-year growth of 9.7%, and realized a year-on-year growth of tire sales revenue of 5.07% and a year-on-year growth of profit of 11.43%. The numbers of the image shops and terminal shops in the Chinese market increased respectively to 636 and 3,718.
Making outstanding achievements in an adverse situation is just a kind of "presentation", implying the driving role of Wanli Tire's series of major initiatives. In 2015, Wanli Tire fully refreshed its new brand image in such aspects as production, service, R&D, brand etc. These "major movements" are all Wanli Tire's system layout it has figured out by accurately holding the market trend based on its medium and long-term development strategy planning.
In the production and manufacturing field, at the beginning of this year, a foundation was laid for Hefei Wanli Tire's green TBR tire project with an annual output of 2 million tires, setting a good start for Wanli Tire's new reform throughout the year. Hefei's project is called the "dream work" inside Wanli Tire. It adopts the most advanced full-automatic unmanned operation technique, and Wanli Tire' s productive efficiency will be improved greatly after the project is completed, the overall acceptance percentage of tire products will reach 99.9%, and the human cost will be reduced by 60 million yuan every year. In August, the newly launched 10 million-green high-performance tire project in Wanli Tire's Conghua base formally went into operation, helping Wanli Tire to meet market demand.
In the channel and marketing fields, Wanli Tire formally entered automobile 4S shops in March. Meanwhile, its tire flagship shop officially opened in Panyu District, Guangzhou, which unveils Wanli Tire's strategic reform in the channel field, indicates that Wanli Tire has realized new leap in its terminal network construction, and plays an active role in promoting the channel construction and brand image improvement of Wanli Tire. In November, "Wan + Alliance" - a comprehensive mobile B2B and B2C e-commerce platform featuring tire-related products and services formally went online. With the thinking of the "Internet +", it integrates offline merchant resources all around the country and adopts mobile positioning service mechanism to develop an O2O mobile consumption e-commerce platform featuring online appointment booking and offline enjoyment. These initiatives play an active role in improving the image of Wanli Tire's sales networks and professional service level. Next, Wanli Tire will keep on strengthening standardized construction of its sales networks to make itself become a brand favored by more consumers. In addition, Wanli Tire's channel sinking strategy has become very clear.
In the R&D field, press conference for Wanli Tire's new flagship product SA302 was held at the West Lake in July. Through this press conference, Wanli Tire fully demonstrates its tremendous strength in technological R&D. Wanli Tire has made comprehensive reforms in pattern design, formula and other aspects of the new products, and the data obtained from the world authoritative third-party testing organization – Spanish IDIADA is more exciting, that is, it has reached a level similar to that of well-known international brands.
From the intelligent "dream work" in the production field, to the flagship shops providing door-to-door services in the channel and marketing fields, new flagship products with high performance that can compare favorably with famous international brands, and the launch of conceptual tires - "Pioneer" born for new energy vehicles, Wanli Tire has been constantly refreshing its brand image with its practical action, which has changed the consumers' impression on Chinese tire brands and indicates Wanli Tire's resolution to become the leading brand in China's tire industry.
Wanli Tire has a new start based on its accumulated strength
The year 2015 was Wanli Tire's starting year for its medium and long-term strategic plans. In this year, Wanli Tire conducted great reforms and innovation, which could be called a good start. At this "Auto Guangzhou", Wanli Tire, with the help of the momentum of the international automobile exhibition, was covered with glory again and is striding forward steadily towards the medium and long-term strategic plans of 2020.
In the production field, Wanli Tire's 10 million-productivity automatic assemble line will be completed in Conghua in the first half of next year, and the green factory will be completed in Hefei in the second half of next year. All these will make Wanli Tire see great improvement in the sales volume, marketing share and other aspects of all-steel tires. If the two factories can successfully go into operation, it can make up the shortcomings of Wanli Tire's productivity in semi-steel and all-steel aspects and make it truly achieve balanced development of semi-steel and all-steel tires. This will be of great significance to the productivity structure, production technology adjustment and other aspects of Wanli Tire.
In the marketing and service fields, Wanli Tire will have more breakthroughs next year, such as more internationalized brand strategy layout, new brand slogan, enterprise VI etc. Meanwhile, the Olympic Games will be held next year, when Wanli Tire will consider conducting marketing publicity by centering on some sports events so as to make its own new brand image better integrate with the preference of consumers. With formal launching of "Wan + Alliance" in this November and later continuous development, Wanli Tire will timely launch its service brand next year to better provide quality services for consumers. Also, it will perfect the CRM system based on e-commerce and micro-commerce and realize integration of product R&D, production, sales and service with consumers as the center so as to improve Wanli Tire's brand image.
In the R&D field, along with the upgrading and transformation of Wanli Tire China Research Institute, Wanli Tire has made great progress in R&D equipment and R&D level. Wanli Tire European Research Institute will present phased achievements. Through Wanli Tire European Research Institute, Wanli Tire will collect the cutting-edge tire technologies in the international tire industry and relevant market information and make good first-phase preparations for it to enter the European supporting markets.

Keith Thurman plotting boxing return, eyeing Kell Brook as potential UK fight
Nearly a year after his split decision loss to Manny Pacquiao, middleweight Keith Thurman (29-1) is eager to return – issuing a challenge for Kell Brook (39-2) as the 31-year-old former champion targets making history abroad before his professional days are over.
This weekend marks a year since Thurman lost his WBA welterweight title against the legendary, evergreen figure of Pacquiao.
The defeat marked his first professional defeat, and was only the second time he'd been knocked down during a fight in his career to date.
Pacquiao, love him or hate him, had long established himself as a legendary boxer before opposition like Thurman came onto the scene.
Pacquiao rolled back the years with an impressive split decision win vs. Thurman last summer
This victory made him the oldest welterweight world champion in history at age 40 and he's the only boxer in the sport to win 12 major titles in eight different weight divisions.
Remarkable is an understatement. Many have suggested an intriguing battle against Terence Crawford could be next, or a Floyd Mayweather rematch.
Why does Kell Brook make sense for Thurman, as he plots return?
Thurman needs a few wins back under his belt before he can claim to be in title contention once more, which is why a bout against Brook makes sense on paper.
As quoted by BoxingScene (via PepTalkUK), he encouraged an offer from the Brit, saying:
"Kell is a great rival, and he's done a lot of great things in the welterweight division. Send me the pounds, mate… I'm all about contracts and opportunities."
"[Brook is] not that active right now – I don't know where his name stands now. But personally, there was a time and a place where I would have loved to take that fight. If there's a real opportunity, show it to me baby."
Thurman underwent surgery on his left hand shortly after last summer's defeat and although he's been outspoken about challenging the likes of Errol Spence Jr, he knows that he'll have to fight lesser opposition before he can command those chances again.
Brook, who lost his IBF title after a valiant effort against Spence Jr three years ago, represents an opportunity for Thurman to exercise his aspirations abroad.
READ: Back in February, Kell Brook returns after absence – R7 KO of Mark DeLuca
"It's always been a dream of mine to fight overseas like a lot of greats, [Muhammad] Ali and [others] throughout history. I would love to fight overseas or maybe even do an overseas tour before my career is done."

BkiUfJs5qhLB0AM-eyHk | I've previously reviewed a couple discs from this act. This is their newest, and it continues their tradition of quality progressive rock set in a very traditional prog style. I think I prefer Travelog, but this is quite strong nonetheless. There are two massive epic pieces here with a couple (three if you count the bonus track) shorter ones. That said, the longest of those is over seven-minutes of music.
Drums bring the song into being. There are blasts of almost fusion-like music punctuated by spoken lines of lyrics as this introductory movement makes its way forward. Then it powers out into a killer fast paced instrumental jam that has hints of things like Kansas in the mix. Sung vocals join as this continues, delivered in a rather theatrical approach. They create a powerhouse prog jam as they come out of then. Then it drops way down for a mellower section that focuses heavily on some rather classical piano work. The cut fires back upward from there in a meaty hard rocking prog mode for the return of the vocals.
Multiple layers of acapella vocals start this. A short bit of prog that makes me think of early Yes punctuates the line. A pattern of vocals with short instrumental movement at the end holds it for a time. Then they pound out into a jam that's heavy and rather dark. It drives with some seriously rocking textures as they carry onward. Around the minute-and-a-half mark it shifts to a mellower movement to continue. I really like the bass work on that section, but the whole thing is cool. It climbs outward with some killer synthesizer textures from there. As thing continues marching onward there is some soaring electric guitar work that emerges. The whole thing builds to a pounding peak, and then drops away. Piano rises up to fill the emptiness left behind. It paints some intriguing pictures as it does. They eventually bring it back out into a cool, 70s styled progressive rock arrangement for the next vocals. A cool jazzy guitar jam emerges after the vocals end. That section is short, though, and the vocals rejoin afterward. They take it out into another shifting, fast paced, powerhouse prog jam as they continue. References to Yes are definitely appropriate at times along that road. I really love the guitar work that guides much of it through a number of shifts and changes. That section peaks, and then a new mellower but quite dramatic movement rises up to take control. Eventually that modulates to more of a melodic rock treatment for the return of the vocals. Eventually the cut works its way to a hard rocking closing section to end. At nearly 16-minutes, this would be the epic of a lot of discs, here's it's the second-longest track.
Coming in at over 19-and-a-half minutes of music, this is the most substantial piece here in terms of length. Piano starts it, and the cut grows in mellow ways from there for a while. It rises to more rocking territory after the one-minute mark. That section holds it for a couple minutes. Then it drops away for a short piano solo. A new fast paced prog jam rises up from there, and guitar solos like crazy over the top of that. They bring it into an up-tempo prog jam for the entrance of the vocals. They take us through some differing movements as they continue. I particularly like the "come to the river" resolution movement around the seven-minute mark. The piece continues to shift and change from there, though, so don't get too comfortable. As it approaches the nine-minute mark there is a cool melodic prog mode that has some hints of jazz built into it that takes over for a while. It is a nice interlude in that it's more constant and has some tasty melodies. The piece continues sans vocals and shifts to a more exploratory, but still quite mellow approach after that movement. Then around the twelve-minute mark, it fires out into a more rocking section. The vocals come in over the top of that as they continue. After the vocals end, they take this through a number of cool changes. Then it drops way down and is reborn. They bring it into more fast paced prog again for the return of the singing. The piece just continues changing and evolving as it works onward.
This is a bit more than four-minutes long, and is essentially keyboards with vocals for almost half of its length, feeling a bit like church music to me. It works out to more fusion-like melodic progressive rock as the other instruments join. I love some of the guitar work on this thing. It's an effective piece.
A different sort of working of the previous cut, this is just about three-minutes long. It has more of a traditional mainstream prog arrangement, and despite being listed as a bonus track, I prefer it to the other version. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbsA5qrqCygvbPPa5 | The automatic blood pressure monitor allows you to efficiently and quickly measure your pressure, whether you're at home or traveling. The blood pressure monitor measures systolic pressure (high pressure), diastolic pressure (low pressure) and the pulse. The user wears the adjustable band around the wrist and fixes it with the Velcro band. When the "on/off" button is clicked, the band progressively compresses around the wrist. The results can be read in two unit formats (mmHg or kPa) on the LCD screen, which turns off automatically after 3 minutes.
The blood pressure monitor accumulates up to 60 results in its storage and can provide a medium- or long-term follow-up. Users can record the day and date of recorded tests and can also delete results gradually. Easy to use, the device automatically shows an error message when the band is not tight enough, if a movement puts a bias on data or if the batteries are low. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdjQ5qWTA8XvyTjP0 | The city parks within and around the BrykerWoods Neighborhood provide wonderful recreational opportunities and escape from the busy city. Natural green spaces located in the center of Austin, these parks offer a glimpse of what Austin was like many years ago. Read and learn more about the history of Austin's Creeks and the Greenbelt Trail system. Each park has a variety of public facilities and paved walkways. Historic bridges crossing Shoal Creek are integral to the urban green space. Unique to the parks is also history significant to the city of Austin. And perhaps the most recognized features of these parks are the magnificent trees for which Austin and the Bryker Woods neighborhood are known.
Note – should you notice anything deserving of the Parks Department's attention (litter, graffiti, vandals, ect.) please contact the Parks Department by calling 311 or make use of the convenient City of Austin 311 app! Citizens must help the Austin Parks Department patrol the beloved urban parks and green spaces.
The BrykerWoods neighborhood happens to be located in a part of Austin where there is a tremendous diversity of running routes. See a list of some favorite Central West Austin running routes and learn of some new areas in the neighborhoods to walk, run or bike!
This city park is located along Shoal Creek south of 34th Street. Distinguishable features include a large covered picnic pavilion, an "outdoor classroom" under a giant live oak tree, Zeriscaped gardens and a section of the Shoal Creek Hike & Bike trail. Shoal Creek passes through the park and a "low water" rock crossing permits travel across the creek at almost all times except for flooding. Interestingly enough, along the creek exists a geologic fault zone which passes directly through the Bryker Woods neighborhood! The history of Shoal Creek also includes deadly flooding – on Memorial Day weekend in 1981, thirteen people lost their lives to floods along Shoal Creek.
Seiders Springs Park is named after Edward Seider, an early european settler to the immediate area. The park is located between Seton and Shoal Creek Hospitals. Picnic tables and park benches have been placed at Seider Springs Park. At this park begins the Shoal Creek Hike & Bike trail leading to downtown and Town Lake. Actual springs continue to flow from the limestone ledge on the east side of the creek (despite the close construction of the Seton hospital complex and parking lots). In the late 1800's a lake (called at the time Alamo Lake) and a bath house existed at Seider Springs. At this site also occurred one of the area's last indian raids in 1841 (see historical maker in the park).
At one time this park was part of a neighborhood, however today this park is bordered by a hospital, a multistory office building and a private school. Notable park features include outdoor tennis courts (with lights), a sand volleyball court, a flagstone covered pavilion built in the 1930's, park swings, an area for baseball or softball. The children's wading pool constructed when the pavilion was originally built has been replaced with a "splash pad" feature, now a popular spot for families during the summer heat. Bailey park also has a wide open space for soccer, flying kites and other activities requiring a very large grassy area. In addition to the majestic oaks surrounding the pavilion, a wide variety of trees have been planted along the perimeter of the park.
Although not an official public park, this greenspace is central to the Bryker Woods Neighborhood. At one time a massive sycamore tree occupied center of the triangle. Unfortunately the sycamore did not survive the recent drought. The tree was removed and replaced by a beautiful Burr Oak tree. There have been some wonderful recent landscaping made to this neighborhood green space and discussion continues on what improvements can be introduced to this potential neighborhood "pocket park." Several residents throughout the neighborhood are pitching in to help clean-up the Bryker Woods Park! So when taking a walk in the neighborhood and you notice some litter in the greenspace at Jefferson & 34th Street… please help us keep this small urban park clean. And please pick up after your dog. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdgk5qWTBGh9UQ8EQ | Q: Is there anyway to see if my users input is in a certain range? I'm taking some input from the user and I need to make sure there input is between the range 200-800. For all of my variable should I just make if statements or is there a shortcut?
System.out.print("SAT Math: ");
int satMath = kb.nextInt();
System.out.print("SAT Reading: ");
int satReading = kb.nextInt();
System.out.print("SAT Writing: ");
int satWriting = kb.nextInt();
//If score is out of range.
if (((satMath < 200 || satMath > 800) || (satReading < 200 || satReading > 800) || (satWriting < 200 || satWriting > 800)))
{
System.out.println("Did not enter a value in range!");
System.exit(-1);
}
A: You've got the logic correct, but your implementation is a bit odd. You basically want to do the same thing for every value, so why not check the value as soon as it's entered instead of at the end, like this:
class SAT
{
private static final Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
private static int getInt(final String subject)
{
System.out.println("SAT " + subject + ": ");
final int value = sc.nextInt();
if(value < 200 || value > 800)
{
System.out.println("Did not enter a value in range! (200-800)");
System.exit(-1);
}
return value;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int maths = getInt("Math");
int reading = getInt("Reading");
int writing = getInt("Writing");
}
}
A: Use separate if statements and if input is out of range, display which input was out of range so next time user can enter correct input. No shortcut sorry!
A: With repeated code like that, I usually refactor it, like this:
// reusable in-range method
private static boolean between(int value, int low, int high) {
return value >= low && value <= high;
}
// reusable version for this task, because they all share the same range
private static boolean isOK(int value) {
return between(value, 200, 800);
}
then
if (!isOK(satMath) || !isOK(satReading) || !isOK(satWriting)) {
System.out.println("Did not enter a value in range!");
System.exit(-1);
}

BkiUf7bxK3xgpZzQp0m4 | Greece - Corfu
Cosmopolitan Kerkira is probably the best known Ionian island and one of the Mediterranean's most popular destinations. It attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists annually and is an inexhaustible source of artistic inspiration. Its enormous cultural heritage, combined with its natural beauty, ideal climate, inviting beaches, and noteworthy sights make it a prestigious and attractive destination for Greek and foreign visitors alike. Surface area: 591 sq. km. Coastline length: 217 km.
Kerkira was named after a woman. Mythology has it that when Poseidon fell in love with Korkyra, Aesopos' daughter, he retreated with her to this island and named it after her. Faiakas, the boy born to them, established the Kingdom of the Faiakes which, according to Homer, was Ulysses' last stop before his return to Ithaca. Kerkira is known abroad as Corfu because of the island's two acropolises (perched on two hilltops) within the city of Kerkira. Its other ancient name was Drepanon (scythe) due to the island's shape.
Corfu determines Greece's sea borders with neighbouring Italy and Albania. It was, therefore, its strategic position that made her the bone of contention among conquerors whose presence on the island stamped its culture, tradition, and customs. Venetian, French, and British rule left behind strong elements of western culture which eventually blended with the island's Greek identity. In 1864, Corfu became a part of Greece. The island's contribution to education, literature, the arts, and politics has been enormous. It is the birthplace of Ioannis Kapodistrias, modern Greece's first governor; scholars Andreas Moustoksidis and Iakovos Polilas; composer Nikolaos Mantzaros who set the Greek National Anthem to music; Spyridon Samaras composer of the Olympic Anthem; and the Theotokis Family numbering eminent politicians and writers amongst its members. In 1824, the Ionian Academy, Greece's first university was founded on the island followed by the first Greek philharmonic band in 1840. No wonder that, today, there are 20 philharmonic bands in Corfu.
** NOTE: We can request other Cofu hotels not listed here if required **

BkiUb9PxK6wB9k0iKWI7 | Alcohol And The Effects On Behavior Alcohol and The Effects on Behavior The articles in which I reviewed dealt with alcoholism and the many different effects it has on behavior. The purpose for each experiment differs, but they all deal whit alcohol and the effects of its behavior. In each of the articles used to complete this research a comparison was mead between people who had been affected by alcoholism to people who had not. The reason for this was to see if alcohol had any effect on an individuals behavior. In the first study which was done by Wright et.
Al, they tested to see if non-adult children of alcoholics (ACAs) who were college students differ from nonclinical ACA college students on problem solving appraisal, perceived social support, suicidal indeation, or substance abuse. They hypothesized that there was no difference between the two (Wright et. al, 1992). Another testby Cooper et. al was given to see if individual therapy in short-term groups would help to improve test scores (Cooper et.
al, 1992). Members of ACA support group and ACA college students were compared by Lashubeck et. al, to see if there were a difference in psychological distress, social support, and hardness among ACAs. From the comparison it was predicted that there would be some difference. Also there was a research conducted by hall et.
al, ACAs and traumatic experience (TE) groups. They compared the ACA and traumatic experience (TE) groups. They compared the ACA and the TE groups with a control group ( the control group were people who have been helped with their problem.) The test also concentrated on the differences in grade point averages (GPAs) and adults who had been exposed to traumatic events during childhood. It was hypothesized that adults with childhood traumatic experience were more likely to encounter difficulties during childhood as well as later in life. There was no difference between the GPAs and the hypothesis tested was true (Hall et.al, 1994) In order to compare the parental drinking among adolescents and adults, a test was given by Cornelius et.al, to show who of the two had the highest drinking rate.
Rates of binge drinking and heavy drinking were highest among the teenage group. When tested, adults had a significantly higher average daily volume of alcohol prior to pregnancy that adolescents, but the teenagers held the highest rate once they become pregnant ( Cornelius et.al, 1994). Chassin et.al conducted a study that examined the role of alcohol expectancies and parental alcoholism in prospectively predicting alcohol consumption and consequences among early adolescents. They examined whether personal effects expectancies would predict problems. However, there was no consistent support for the hypothesis that personal and social effect expectancies predicted different types of drinking outcomes ( Chassin et. al, 1992).
Winokur et.al conducted a survey, of college students during their first and second year of college in order to examine the development of alcohol use behavior in college. When the survey was completed it suggest that every student who used alcohol during the first year continued to do so during the second year. Wschsler et al., ( 1991) also hypothesized that students who drink more heavily in high school were more likely to be binge drinkers in college. This hypothesis was proven to be true. The result suggest that heavy alcohol use is not a predominant behavior that is learned in college and that programs that address alcohol use among college students need to focus on early detection and intervention rather that primary intervention. In each one of these articles presented in this analysis the researchers used a different variety of tests and surveys either to prove or disprove their hypothesis. The hypothesis given the articles were all supportive except the ones given by Cornelius et al., and Winokur et al., The subjects which were used in the experiments were ACAs, ACAs college students. One the basis of the information given in these articles, alcohol does effect you in some way. The purpose of this survey is to see if having a predisposition to alcohol has a greater or lesser effect on students mathematics and grammar skills.
The hypothesis is that one glass of alcohol will have a lesser effect on those students from families of alcoholic parents. Methods Subject: A total of 12 students participated in the experiment, including six students from families with parents who are alcoholics (Dependent Variable) and six students not from families with parents who are alcoholics (Independent Variable). Students also had to take a Breath Alizer test in which they could not read past 0.01 on the Breath Alizer. Materials: The following materials were administered individually to all students. All students were given a pretest in mathematics and grammar, a glass of alcohol, and posttest in mathematics and grammar, and a Breath Alizer test.
The mathematics test will consist of the four basic arithmetic (adding, subtraction, division and multiplication) to guarantee that nothing else will be measured. The grammar test will consist of a sentence completion test. The verb in each sentence will be left out and the student must use the correct verb and present or past tense of the verb. Procedure: All students were interviewed individually in their dorm. They were unaware of the groups that they were being placed in for the investigation. Consent to participate was given by all students. Students then received their glass of alcohol and drank until each subject reached 0.01 on the Breath Alizer.
A test was then given in mathematics and grammar, and second test was given in a week, with an another glass of alcohol and Breath Alizer test. Result: The results of this study were analyzed by using the T-test. The scores were analyzed to see if having a predisposition to alcohol has a greater effect on ones mathematics was 95 and the mean score for non-alcoholic parents was 91.67. The data for the independent T test were T= -.21 (SD= 8783.3), with a standard error of 18.74, DF+10, and P*.o5 results were not significant. The number of students in each group was six.
For the participants who did not come from parents of alcoholic parents the means score for grammar was 80. The data from the Independent T test were T=0, with standard error 16.1 (SD= 6466.66), DF=10 and P*.05, results were not significant. Discussion: The hypothesis was not supported One glass of alcohol does not have a lesser effect on those students from families of alcoholic parents. A total of 12 students participated in the experiment, including six students from families with parents who were alcoholics and six students not from families with parents who were alcoholics.

BkiUbwW6NNjgBpvIAG9V | Home » Managed IT Services Elgin » What is Phishing and How Can You Stop It?
When you hear about phishing, you might hearken back to the earliest phishing scams, like the emails from the Prince of Nigeria saying you won millions of dollars and all you had to do to claim it was provide personal information. These primitive attacks were designed to prey on individuals as yet unfamiliar with the lawlessness of the nascent Internet.
Today, most people are far too savvy to fall for these ham-fisted tactics, which is why phishing scams have grown a lot more sophisticated. Now, seemingly legitimate emails could open the door to all kinds of cyber threats, from data breaches to ransomware attacks. What are the most common phishing scams used today and how can you protect against them? Here are a few things you should know.
This broad term pertains to any type of phishing attack that targets a specific business and/or specific individuals within a business. In most cases, cyber criminals will attempt to obtain as much information as possible on their target in order to craft emails that seem like legitimate requests for data or click-through that allows hackers to install malware.
Cloning is an extremely sophisticated form of phishing that utilizes the illusion of legitimacy and authority to create trust and prompt a response from email recipients. Clone emails may appear to come from reliable sources like business partners, vendors, banks, and so on.
They may use the same logos and language as legitimate emails from those sources. They will urge recipients to click a link to the sender's homepage, at which point the recipient unknowingly agrees to download some kind of malware.
High-profile targets such as executives are a prime target for phishing attacks, and because of the level of importance these individuals hold, such attacks are known as whaling. Should whaling attacks prove successful, hackers can often gain access to areas of the corporate network that only C-Suite employees are privileged with.
This type of phishing scam is difficult for the average person to spot because it relies on changing IP addresses for known domain names. Suppose, for example, an employee needs to check business accounts and types in the name of the bank in the address bar (www.wellsfargo.com, for example). With a pharming scam, the employee would be redirected to a false website that looks like the original and directed to enter login information, which cyber criminals would then steal and use to get into accounts.
This is the height of sophistication when it comes to phishing scams because cyber criminals create fake Dropbox or Google Docs login pages that are actually hosted and secured by the platforms themselves, making them appear legitimate.
Phishing scams are frighteningly sophisticated these days, but there are several options to protect your company against them. The first step is to train employees to behave appropriately. For example, employees should never click-through on links from emails, even if they appear legitimate or come from known sources. They should always open a new window to contact the supposed source of the email directly.
As for pharming, employees should know to only trust websites that are secured with the HTTPS designation and the green lock icon. You can even avoid phishing scams on secured Dropbox and Google Docs accounts by instituting 2-step verification measures.

BkiUa7I4c3aisLHGDPMl | INDIANAPOLIS — Chicago Bulls players have had 24 hours, one apply and a shootaround to digest the dismissal of Fred Hoiberg as head coach and Jim Boylen's promotion from affiliate head coach.
"It is robust," Zach LaVine stated after shootaround on Tuesday morning. "I texted him proper afterwards and let him know that I appreciated him and thanks for all of the exhausting work. As a result of on the finish of the day, Fred is an amazing dude and also you respect that.
It is now on the Chicago entrance workplace to get the following large choices proper.
Fred Hoiberg arrived in Chicago hyped as an offensive guru who may modernize the Bulls, however the workforce's lack of coherent imaginative and prescient and management finally led to his downfall.
Lauri Markkanen, who will make his first begin of the season Tuesday evening in opposition to the Pacers, stated the he "cherished" taking part in for Hoiberg however had pause when requested whether or not Hoiberg had maintained management of the locker room.
When pressed, Markkanen stated players within the locker room revered Hoiberg.
Boylen has stated he is a "extra passionate in-game coach" than Hoiberg and is already trying to make his mark. Boylen stated he spent Monday evening assembly individually with players of their resort rooms in Indianapolis. He got here to every assembly armed with a listing — compiled together with his assistant coaches — of what every participant was doing properly and the way they may enhance.
Among the many tweaks Boylen has already made, he moved Jabari Parker out of the beginning lineup. Parker will now come off the bench behind Markkanen at ahead. Beneath Hoiberg, the Bulls experimented with Parker at small ahead briefly however he struggled. Justin Vacation will proceed to begin at small ahead. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUe1zxK7IAG1E_0mpf | @Maris_C Shared that when she did her Diploma she used Large paper mindmaps and Note cards but now there are plenty of tools that make storing notes a lot easier. @ShaunWilden agreed but @Shaznosel said that she still uses paper mindmaps and note cards.
Everyone agreed that DELTA lesson plans are different from non-DELTA lesson plans. This is due to the style that you need to use for a DELTA lesson plan and as @TEFLerinha mentioned DELTA lessons plans show the "working of your mind" rather than "real lessons". Though @Shaznosel commented that now most of her [non-DELTA] lesson plans are notes in a textbook but based on her DELTA lesson plans.
One of the most interesting points for me was that you need to prepare to write for long periods of time by hand as many people aren't used to writing by hand any more and the exam last for. @SueAnnan commented that she suffered from hand cramps on the day of her exam.
Due to the short amount of time in the test and the amount you need to write a lot. @ShaunWilden advised to write in note form and not full sentences and @Teflerinha added that writing in bullet points has potential to get more points.
@SandyMillin shared how she reached out to her PLN (including DELTA tutors) when she had questions. I asked if she had any special groups that she used but she informed me that she used her typical groups (such as the #eltchat hastag on twitter) but mentioned the DELTA in her updates.
@Marisa_C shared that she encourages her trainees to connect and share online via a Facebook group, ning, wiki or similar group.
@Marisa_C also pointed out that having a "bag of trick" [my words not her's] of activities to help your brain remember them. @teflerinha added that it was good exam practice to list activities.
Many people talked about the value of taking time off and it's importance in Time management.
14) Don't stress other trainees out!
@Marisa_C shared this tip to not pass your anxieties on to other trainees as it can be destructive for everyone.
@shaznosel shared that she choose Young Learners for her module three because she was passionate about it although it was unpopular. However, @PJgallentry reflected that he might have chosen a different option for his (Blended/online TBL) as there was very little research into the topic.
How is the Distance DELTA different from the intensive?
Most people agreed that time management was an important factor in both DELTA options (@Shaunwilden, @SueAnnan) . Some people see the distance option as easier but others pointed out that autonomous learning isn't easy for everyone (@CotterHUE).
@Noreen_Lam asked if people had any two month specific advice. @TEFLerinha suggested that you don't do ANYTHING else and if you can get someone to cook for you as well!
Some shared tips were to start writing names/objects in phonemes all the time. Or sending messages to other students in IPA. However, @SueAnnan shared Adrian Underhill's Pron chart blog as a useful resource.
Is a CELTA lesson good enough for the DELTA?
@Marisa_C pointed out that an OK CELTA lesson will probably not be "hot" for the DELTA, but this is a general rule of thumb.

BkiUdaw4ubnjosH9HUby | How Easy Is It to Pirate Books?
In November last year, the major pirate ebook site Z-Library was seized by the FBI. The website, which hosted free ebooks it didn't own and even charged them for it, was popular among students, even widely gaining traction on TikTok. On Twitter, many users also bemoaned its death, while many authors celebrated this illegal distribution site being shut down. "This website has been seized," the defaced site now says. Shortly thereafter, the two people allegedly behind the site's operation were arrested.
Most of the ebooks hosted on Z-Library were fiction and nonfiction bestsellers. The site also offered these ebooks in different formats, but ePub was a popular choice.
But days after Z-Library's disappearance from the wider internet, it came back on an encrypted browser and network that one uses when they aim to be anonymous. It's where the dark web lies as well.
As Z-Library apparently can't stay off the grid, it's a wonder how large scale and rampant ebook piracy is. As with other media industries, ebook piracy has long been a problem of publishing. It's become commonplace for books that have digital versions to have pirated counterparts floating around the internet. It poses the questions: How easy it is to pirate ebooks these days? How do book thieves do it?
How It's So Easy to Pirate Ebooks These Days
Since I'm an ebook developer or formatter, one who makes ebooks for a living, I'll let you in on the process a little bit to demonstrate how easy it is to accomplish this kind of thievery.
Once a publisher creates an ebook and puts it up on the internet for sale, it opens up a lots of risks, including piracy. For that reason and more, some authors do ebook holdouts or a release delay. Catcher in the Rye author JD Salinger, who was known to hate the internet, is one example. His son, Matt Salinger, said that he once talked to the older Salinger about Facebook and that the author "was 'horrified' by the notion of digital oversharing." But eventually, the ebook version of the modern classic was released in 2019. Another is Harper Lee, who, for a long time, withheld release of To Kill a Mockingbird until 2014. Ray Bradbury was also among the list of authors who was initially averse to ebooks. In 2011, however, he finally relented. These authors may not exactly be thinking about the risks of ebook piracy, but if they knew, they would likely have been horrified.
Meanwhile, if a book doesn't have an ebook version, a developer like me could whip up one. Let's say that I have nefarious intentions to profit off of others' works. It's easy to make digital copies out of a paperback, more so if I have PDF copies lying around. Either I could scan the entirety of the book or do it the slightly complicated way: create an unofficial, reflowable ePub. In my investigation, I discovered a lot of unofficial ePub versions of books — either they were created manually by a skilled programmer or they were Advanced Reader Copies sent to reviewers that were illegally distributed. I compared them to the official ebook versions being sold on Amazon, and the difference is quite staggering. Either way, this indicates how much demand there is to pirate ebooks.
These pirated ebooks then find their way to several obscure places on the internet such as forums, Google Drive spaces, pirated sites that pose as online libraries, and even secret Facebook groups.
The Sophisticated Ways Book Thieves Pirate Ebooks
When ebook thieves download ebooks off Amazon or other stores, they remove, or in technological parlance, "crack" the Digital Rights Management (DRM) protection. This security control is applied to ebooks by vendors before they're sold to prevent unauthorized file sharing. From there, ebook thieves host them to several file storage sites and bombard the download pages with advertising.
Another strategy is scanning books. While this method doesn't make for the ideal reading experience, it's as decent as the actual copy. During my time as a publisher, a concerned customer tipped me off an incident where this scheme was used to distribute one of our books. And if someone is a little bit extra, they can extract the pages of the book and make an ePub or PDF. I won't go into the specifics for fear of opening a can of worms, but there are a variety of creative ways to do all of these.
The aforementioned shady dealings are just tip of the iceberg, however. Most U.S. publishers aren't probably aware that their ebooks are being profited from in other countries. In several Asian countries, many unauthorized vendors sell ebooks on shopping platforms Lazada and Shopee, which are similar to Amazon. In my investigation, I discovered that sellers create listings on these platforms, host the pirated ebooks in online file storage services such as Google Drive, and once the user pays through the shopping platform, the vendor gives them access to the ebooks, which can be a single file or an entire folder full of ePubs. I am astounded by how easy it is for sellers to profit off publishers' and authors' works. Even worse, these shopping platforms ignore these illegal copies being sold.
When sought for a comment, Shopee, Lazada, and Google didn't give one.
Sometimes, ebook piracy is not easily noticed. Another internet space where pirated ebooks propagate is a forum — let's call it Liquidism — where anonymous uploaders cash in on the advertising on the download pages. Another popular method is a Russian social media website I'll call KW. I'm stunned by how widespread it is in there; users can even request ebooks they want to read.
Joining the Ebook Piracy Avenue is a slideshow site wherein pirates put links and instructions how to download pirated ebooks to slideshow docs. Although LinkedIn, the then-parent company of the site, had said that it was taking action against piracy on the site, pirated ebooks still abound, albeit they're very clandestine now.
The most recent addition to this ebook piracy drama is Internet Archive, which has been hosting digital copies of books for years. In 2020, some publishers filed a lawsuit against the nonprofit organization for alleged copyright infringement. Internet Archive, it seemed, scanned copies of books donated to them, put them up on their website, and lent them to users for up to 14 days. They want to function as a library, but real libraries pay publishers licensing fees and they don't. A trial is likely to commence next year.

How Much Ebook Piracy Costs the Publishing Industry
A consumer survey conducted by Nielsen in 2017 suggested that U.S. publishers loses up to $315 million each year. It was also reported that majority of people who illegally download ebooks are regular consumers, students, and workers who get their ebooks from a variety of digital sources. That amount is significantly smaller than what it was in 2010, when U.S. publishers claimed to have lost a staggering $2.8 billion. Other studies have questioned publishers' estimates, which assume every pirated book is a lost sale, and have even suggested that there is "no robust statistical evidence of displacement of sales by online piracy" at all, outside of blockbuster movie releases.
But money is immaterial, and the real cost of ebook piracy is actually larger. When an ebook is stolen and when pirates sell their loot, authors bear the brunt of keeping them in check.
"When my book came out a few years back, I set up a Google alert for the title (Faithful and Devoted: Confessions of a Music Addict) and my name. This helped me track when the book was posted on pirate sites. In a few cases, I sent a cease and desist letter and it worked. However, some sites took months to comply," says writer and editor Jenna Rose Robbins.
The loot allegedly went its way to Amazon as Robins also says that recently, she and a business colleague have noticed some "disturbing" issues on the ecommerce site. "Our client's work showed up under a different listing — same title but different book cover and author. After doing some research, we found this was a pretty common occurrence, and it took us quite some time to get Amazon to take down the imposter. We haven't seen that issue arise in more than a year now."
Ebook piracy, however, doesn't only happen in the chaotic world of Amazon. It takes many forms and happens in some corners of the academe as well. "I am a 7th grade language arts teacher and classroom resource creator. Unfortunately, it is quite common for teacher-created resources to be posted on free download sites and message boards. I setup a quarterly calendar reminder to check search results for pirated copies of my resources. Almost all of my resources are sold and distributed as PDF files," says teacher Erin Beers.
Beers had luck by sending removal requests such as a DMCA takedown notice. "Most website owners recognize this as a legitimate legal request. Following this process in regular intervals is the most efficient (and cheapest) way to keep your copyrighted materials off the internet."
For Sheri Cobb South, author of the John Pickett Mysteries series, going after the pirates is not worth her time. Instead, she's choosing to focus on her writing rather than pursuing a legal battle. "I occasionally stumble across websites offering one or more of my ebooks for 'free download,' and I suspect I could find more if I actively searched for them," she says.
South thinks that there are other dangers attached to this wild goose chase to boot. "I wonder how many of these sites are actually phishing enterprises, rather than true piracy; I can't imagine how else they might profit from offering my ebooks for free, and I wonder if they even have the text of my ebooks at all, or they're just using the title and cover art to entice people into downloading malware."
Since the advent of the digital age, piracy has been a difficult problem to solve. It doesn't help that technology moves slow in publishing, even excruciatingly slower in its several areas. Ebooks have been the only novelty, and the format came out decades ago. Interactive ebooks, its would-be successor, didn't even catch on. With this slow pace in digital advancements, can this industry expect to mitigate a significantly huge conundrum that is ebook piracy?
Even if it can, it's an issue that continues to pop up even when taken action against. "You can send a cease and desist if it is on certain websites who are willing to abide by requests like that over fear of being sued," Padraic Maroney, publishing professional and author of It All Began with a Scream, says. "But it's like a hydra, where if you cut off the head, three more sites will pop up with the book available on it." South agrees: "It's a bit like playing whack-a-mole: If you get one taken down, it's just going to crop up somewhere else."

BkiUdqQ5qsBC-7ALvFnx | Raptors trounced by Cavaliers on the road, 126-101
A poor effort overall sunk Toronto in this one, as turnovers and missed opportunities added up.

Share All sharing options for: Raptors trounced by Cavaliers on the road, 126-101
David Richard-USA TODAY Sports
In an 82-game season, there are going to be some absolute stinkers. The Toronto Raptors have had their share of games this season that have been ready to file in the stinker column, only to be revived by five minutes of zone defence, a Kyle Lowry avalanche of energy, or Kawhi Leonard doing superhuman things.
Tonight, they never got their revival. The Raptors were bad early, bad in the middle, and bad late — suffering a season's worst loss to the lowly Cleveland Cavaliers, 126-101.

Key to the Raptors loss were issues with turnovers and finishing possessions with rebounds. Toronto committed 20 turnovers to the Cavs' 12, mostly due to a low give-a-shit meter.
When running out in transition, the Raptors ran into no fewer than four set bodies — resulting in charge calls. When trying to make pocket passes, there was no zip on the ball, resulting in the basketball somewhere in a mess of ankles. Every aspect of the game was just missing that oomph of "this game matters to us".
On the boards, the Raptors were lethargic on the weak side. Serge Ibaka especially struggled with the energy of Ante Zizic, Cedi Osman, and Marquese Chriss — so much so that when Chriss decided to talk some trash to him, he got up and calmly grabbed Chriss by the throat, dragged him into the stanchion, and punched him a couple times for good measure.

So yeah, Ibaka might get suspended.
On the other side, the Cavaliers had a good night shooting the ball from outside. As a team, they made 18 three-pointers, with Kevin Love and Jordan Clarkson making three and Collin Sexton making four. Sexton would lead all scorers with 28 points.
The Raptors, meanwhile, got a nice game from Kawhi but not much else. Leonard had a team-high 25 points on 11-for-19 shooting, adding nine rebounds and two assists. Pascal Siakam had 15 points, but struggled with his outside shot (0-for-4) and his control in transition. Kevin Love was a smart foil for Siakam in this one, setting up for charges and controlling space to force Pascal into some uncomfortable plays.
Elsewhere on the roster, though, the Raptors were looking for help. Marc Gasol started but scored just two points, as the team spent next to no time looking for him in offensive sets. Instead, it was the same old stuff the Raptors fall into when they're struggling — Norm Powell driving into traffic, strong side isolations without a pick set, some uninspired cutting late in the clock. Apart from Kyle Lowry's 14, nobody else for the Raptors scored in double digits. That says a lot.
Cleveland was up from the get-go. Jumping out to a 10-4 lead, the Raptors responded with a pair of triples from Lowry and Leonard, forcing the first timeout of the game. Cleveland answered with an 8-0 run of their own, as they built a lead they wouldn't give up for the rest of the game.
A nice energy stretch from OG Anunoby kept the Raptors within striking distance, as a steal and a block led to a couple runout opportunities. Toronto wasn't able to get an extended run going, though, as the Cavaliers went up 31-26 early in the second.
Late in the first half, both Danny Green and Serge Ibaka went down uncomfortably on the same play, with Green clutching at his ankle for a moment before walking it off. Green would play just 20 minutes in this one and may be someone to monitor over the next few days. Later in the game, Kyle Lowry would similarly go down with a twisted ankle — showing that the cost of a bad game might go a bit further than just tonight.
In the end, it was a bit formulaic. The Raptors did one or two good things, but never sustained. The Cavaliers would hit a big three to keep them at bay. In the fourth, they broke it open, giving the game its final score.
Next up for Toronto are the Los Angeles Lakers, who come to town on Thursday night. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdR44uBhi7ckIo-o- | Since I took the Listen to My Life class and became a facilitator in the Kansas City area, I have found myself listening closer to small "stirrings" inside of me. It would be easy for me to discount those little nudges or passing thoughts. However, when I listen closer, I have found that God is using them to get my attention, to direct my steps into something greater. On the other hand, if I ignore these stirrings, I may miss a special blessing He desires to write in my story. For example, these stirrings could indicate a desire or longing He wants to fulfill, or these nudges could even be a personal invitation to a peak experience.
For me, by responding to a stirring with a simple "yes," an entire vision was fulfilled: a village for women and orphans in Uganda. Kabale (pronounced CA-BAA-LAY) is in southwest Uganda, where a beautiful, mountainous region borders Rwanda and the Congo. As is common in Uganda, Kabale is another area with a generation eviscerated by HIV/AIDS, leaving many orphans scrambling for love and care.
Ten women in Kabale, who enlarged their circle to over one hundred women, partnered with THE GLOBAL ORPHAN PROJECT and THE CHURCH OF UGANDA to develop a church-based village. This village includes ten homes with ten children and a Mama living in each home. The local church has named the village "The Father's House," based on the promise in John 14:1-4, where Jesus says, "Don't be troubled. You trust God, now trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father's home, and I am going to prepare a place for you. If this were not so, I would tell you plainly. When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. And you know where I am going and how to get there."
Now, the neediest of orphaned and abandoned children in Kabale have a loving home, family, school, community, and church - built in a little over a year! The Father's House now stands and serves as evidence of the familial love the local church body can offer these once abandoned children.
I had been on numerous mission trips, but I must admit - Africa was not even on my radar! However, I felt that small stirring in my heart. I knew God wanted me to experience this; I knew I must say yes. This simple "yes" became an act of trusting and following the lead of the Holy Spirit, which gave birth to a peak experience: becoming the hands and feet of God in Kabale, offering love and care to the children at The Father's House.
However, this simple "yes" looks different for all of us. What 'yes' might God be inviting you to respond to today? Could it be looking into the vision trip to Africa, or simply striking up a conversation with an old friend? By the smallest nudge of the Holy Spirit, each day the Lord lovingly invites you to come and see all He has for you and His Kingdom.
What small stirrings have you been feeling?
What is holding you back from responding to Him with a simple 'yes'?
What would be the next step of trust? How will you take it?
Dear Heavenly Father, I praise you and thank you for all of the wonderful blessings you have already given me. Now, help me to always listen for you, especially in the small nudges and whispers you give me through your Holy Spirit. Inspire me, so I may be a blessing to others. May I continue to co-author my story with and through you as you invite me to experience your true love in this life and the next. Through your Son's holy name I pray, Amen. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdCs5qhDACrbiboaw | Epiphanies can come from very unexpected places. A recent one came courtesy of Meetup.com, a website that enables groups of like minded people to get together and do interesting activities.
During my recent four months in Germany, it occurred to me that a site like Meetup could be a good way to, well, meet people. The showbiz people I was working with were thoroughly pleasant, but I also wanted to hang out with people interested in business, technology, industrial design, science, and all the other things I was into.
So I hit Meetup.com, made an account, and signed up to about 20 different groups. I was taking the shotgun approach; throw a whole bunch of options out there, in the hope that at least one will produce results. And they did! All kinds of group event invites started to flow in. Dinners, drinks, talks, Ignite events… plenty of things that sounded interesting to check out.
And I couldn't go to any of them. Every single one was happening when I was working.
That was when it really hit me that performer hours are the exact inverse of office work hours. Evenings and weekends – most people's leisure time – are exactly when I had gigs to do. A show each night, plus matinees on Saturday and Sunday. The only free time overlap was on Monday nights, and that's not exactly prime social time for most people.
After literally about a hundred non-attendable events in a row had hit my inbox, I left the meetup groups and thought hard about my career path. Clearly a full time performance schedule was going to limit my social life in a way that I wasn't happy with.
Luckily that's not the only way to have a profitable and successful showbiz career. There are higher paying one-off private and corporate gigs, short full-time production runs, media and advertising projects, teaching, consulting, merchandising, and all kinds of profitable work that still allow for a balanced personal life.
I would still be happy to do the occasional intense full-time run of shows, but would never want to do it on a permanent ongoing basis. This also means that I have absolutely no desire to ever have my own big Vegas show. It would be amazing, but for me personally the costs would never be worth it.
It was quite a liberating realisation, all thanks to a brief experience with a social meetup website. Epiphanies really can come from the most unexpected places.
Of course, once you're big and famous enough, *you* organise the meetup, at the time that suits you.
Also, FWIW – I have exactly the same problem, and I'm not a full time cabaret performer :) It seems like Tuesday and Wednesday nights are prime meet up times, and they all conflict with each other – plus a few other commitments I already had. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUePc4eIOjR3O4ddsE | A White Paper on reducing the risk of H1N1 virus in school settings has received so much attention by educators in the Ohio area that Kaivac, Inc., which prepared the paper, is making it available to educators throughout the country.
Entitled Cleaning to Reduce the Risk of the H1N1 Flu Virus & Other Disease Outbreaks, the White Paper was first presented to Ohio school administrators by Valley Janitorial Supply based in Hamilton, Ohio.
According to Angelo Poneris, customer service manager for Valley, educators were impressed with the "detail" in the White Paper, providing administrators specific steps they can take to keep their schools, students, and staff healthy.
"If you take a close look at most of the information being released about H1N1 prevention, much of it is very generic, general, and even vague," says Poneris. "This [White Paper] cuts right to the core of the problem so schools know what steps they can take to protect themselves."
The White Paper emphasizes the need for more science in cleaning, especially using science to prove that surfaces are hygienically clean, preventing the spread of potentially harmful germs and bacteria.
For instance, it discusses the use of ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) rapid monitoring systems that can detect if harmful microbes might be present on a surface. The White Paper is very specific, listing how much ATP is acceptable on a surface. "A student's desk should have an [ATP] reading of less than 30 and a soap dispenser less than 60 to be safe," explains Poneris.
There is also discussion of the need for two cleaning programs or modes to deal with the risk of disease. The first is routine cleaning, when there is not an imminent threat of a disease, and outbreak cleaning, when H1N1 or a similar threat does exist.
"Outbreak cleaning requires a magnification of the entire cleaning process," says Poneris. "Cleaning frequencies are intensified and [school] administrators and cleaning professionals are instructed [what] actions to take to help prevent the spread of disease."
Designed to remove the maximum amount of soil, bacteria, and other biopollution, Kaivac's patented No-Touch Cleaning systems combine an indoor pressure washer, a powerful wet vacuum and chemistry into an integrated system. Empowering workers to hygienically clean without touching contaminated surfaces, these systems not only clean better, but also cut labor, chemical, and equipment costs while raising worker morale and image. In fact, studies show that Kaivac's No-Touch Cleaning systems are 60 times more effective in reducing bacterial contamination on tile and grout surfaces than mops, which are more likely to spread contaminants than remove them.
The patent-pending KaiFly system combines microfiber and squeegee technologies to rapidly remove harmful disease-causing biopollutants from desktops, chalk and dry erase boards, tabletops, stalls, partitions, windows, and other above-the-floor flat surfaces. KaiFly is scientifically proven through Petri-film testing to remove 80 times more bacteria than towels or rags, making it an ideal process for reducing the risk of H1N1, MRSA, norovirus, and other contaminants living on flat surfaces.
Ergonomically designed, KaiFly also cleans in half the time or less than traditional methods, while relieving strain on workers' backs and shoulders. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

In the "Lady Luck" slot machine, released on the 22nd of September, 2015 on the Gameart platform, casino players will meet with your Fortune, and find out how much she is favorable to them. Experts of the provider presented this charming and whimsical lady in the form of a bright beauty with a languid look. But fatal lucky woman not only fills the video slot with romantic charm, it is she who can bring the player the largest reward. The characteristics of the slot turned out to be even more exciting due to the availability of prize features, progressive jackpots and two bonuses, which use free spin packs and a wheel of fortune. The style of design of the "Lady Luck" slots stands out against the background of the rest of the collection of characters, which included portraits of characters, card denominations and several special items. The latter perform tasks to launch additional modes or replace other images, as does the universal Wild. Preparing for the adventures in the "Lady Luck" gambling machine, users of online casinos should evaluate all the risks of losing and prepare the optimal strategy.
The "Lady Luck" provides two types of accumulative jackpots at once, which are paid out at the Fortune Wheel stage, if the necessary sector stops. You can get a chance to win one of the special prizes in the game by the maximum values of monetary units. This variant of the bonus slot feature operates in the base rounds and is connected randomly when the main character appears. With the help of a magic wand, she will launch a second spin, where the winning combination will be guaranteed. The set of specifications for the "Lady Luck" gambling machine completes another random function that operates during free spins and transforms the first three columns into a generic name to also bring guaranteed winnings, but already considerably larger.
Gameart offers basic pictures, two types of jokers, scatters and special symbols. In addition, free-spins and additional prize-winning functions are available. Standard icons form combinations according to the classical rules: from the same elements that are built from left to right on the lines.

There can be several payments, but only the maximum chain for each position is taken into account. Money is immediately withdrawn to the account. There are no doubling games in "Lady Luck" slot.
When preparing this free online slot, Gameart programmers focused on the classic 5 reels. You can collect 243 winning combinations. For one rotation, 15 characters appear on the screen, which increases the chances of finding the same combinations.

3 Scatter – 10 FS;
5 Scatter – 30 FS.
The main bonus of the "Lady Luck" slot machine will offer the participants several turns of the wheel of fortune, where you can win a cash prize with a multiplier or a jackpot variant according to the chosen character before the start of the draw. The Fortune Wheel mode is started by a combination of Wild and Bonus characters next to each other.

The slot is launched on smartphones in an adapted version that supports modern devices. All the main features of the device are preserved in this version.

Super Lady Luck Bonus. This is an exclusive symbol of the slot machine, increasing the coefficients. Winning combinations are formed according to the standard principle, but they give an additional increase in the rate;
Black Cat. The image of a black cat is a wild, changing other cards. A picture is assigned with a stack function, when several vertical cells are replaced at once;
The scatter symbol. Scatter issues a one-time payment upon appearance. If you collect three or more scatter symbols, up to 30 free spins are formed.
There are several sections available in the menu, including the paytable, rules, auto-play settings and general settings. One can play the "Lady Luck" slot in various casinos in the browser version. You do not need to download the device.

BkiUdLY25V5hcJY58WaH | Time to Pass Craig?
by Matt Yost
Idaho Statesman, December 11, 2005
The same logic used by Sen. Larry Craig when killing the Fish Passage Center needs to be applied to Craig to determine the senator's usefulness to the great state of Idaho.
Craig, ever the advocate for the Bonneville Power Administration and out-of-state interests, determined that the Fish Passage Center advocated to the courts when reporting scientific data about Idaho's dwindling salmon and steelhead returns. Due to the "advocacy" of reporting science, Craig scuttled the center and then suggested that the BPA fund a new research center at the University of Washington.
Craig should at least pretend to be an advocate for Idaho and offer that Idaho universities do this important research. But then again, Idahoans shouldn't hold their breath that after several years in office and having given miles of lip service to solving Idaho's problems with water and fish, Craig will actually do something to insure that the Salmon and Clearwater rivers are full of harvestable self-sustaining runs of salmon and steelhead for sportsmen, and that water stays in Idaho for farmers and for future state growth.
If Craig's "logic" were used on Craig, it would prove that it is time for the passage of Craig.

BkiUdOY5qWTA_H8tsnen | Panasonic confirms cyberattack and data breach
Tech manufacturing giant Panasonic has confirmed that its network was accessed illegally this month during a cyberattack.
In a statement released on Friday, the Japanese company said it was attacked on November 11 and determined that "some data on a file server had been accessed during the intrusion."
"After detecting the unauthorized access, the company immediately reported the incident to the relevant authorities and implemented security countermeasures, including steps to prevent external access to the network," Panasonic said in a statement.
"In addition to conducting its own investigation, Panasonic is currently working with a specialist third-party organization to investigate the leak and determine if the breach involved customers' personal information and/or sensitive information related to social infrastructure."
While no other information was provided in the statement, Japanese outlets Mainichi and NHK said the breach actually started on June 22 and ended on November 3.
Panasonic did not respond to requests for comment but confirmed that date in an interview with TechCrunch and said the November 11 date actually refers to when the breach was first discovered.
NHK reported that the attacked servers stored information about Panasonic business partners and the company's technology, noting a ransomware incident last November involving a subsidiary of the company that also leaked business information.
"We cannot predict whether it will affect our business or business performance, but we cannot deny the possibility of a serious incident," the company told Mainichi on Friday, which according to The Record reported that the breach may have also involved employee information.
Panasonic signed a pact with McAfee in March to create a vehicle security operations center focused exclusively on cyberattacks. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUfDo25V5jayWgEy-S | The Superstar Shakeup awaits us next week but there has been plenty of noise surrounding big changes in the WWE already.
The WWE chairman has a rule about talents not saying his name during their Hall of Fame induction speeches. When Bret Hart did just that during his speech, McMahon was so furious he reportedly fired the writer of Hart's speech on the spot right in the gorilla position.
X-Pac confirmed this story on his podcast but what's really unbelievable is that D-Generation X went on to say Vince's name over and over again during their speech after seeing him get so mad earlier in the night and they suffered zero consequences.
It appears that Daniel Bryan did not appear on the shows after WrestleMania because he suffered an injury during his match with Kofi Kingston on Sunday.
AJ Styles currently has a hip injury but it appears that Drew McIntyre did not injure himself during SmackDown's main event. Dave Meltzer says the Scot leaving before the finish was always the plan.
According to Cageside Seats, live event advertisements has given away some of the top feuds moving forward.
Seth Rollins is set to work with Drew McIntyre over the Universal title while Roman Reigns is going to face Baron Corbin. It will be interesting to see if the Superstar Shakeup effects those feuds.
Dave Meltzer's infamous star system has been something contentious amongst fans for years now.
The main event of NXT TakeOver: New York saw Gargano beat Cole for the NXT title and Meltzer gave the match 5.5 stars – his highest ever rating for a WWE match. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUb13xaJJQnKrAjPAL | The Coast Guard kicked off the start of National Safe Boating Week with Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day at many of its units along the Gulf Coast and throughout the heartland Friday.
National Safe Boating Week takes place May 21-27. The week aims at improving boater behavior through education, awareness and training to make recreational boating a safe and enjoyable experience by reducing boating accidents across the country.
Throughout NSBW, the Coast Guard Auxiliary, Power Squadrons and state natural resources agencies will offer safe boating classes and free vessel safety checks. To find the location of the nearest Auxiliary flotilla and a schedule of safe-boating classes, please visit their website at www.cgaux.org.
From 2014 to 2015, deaths in boating-related accidents across the country increased 2.6 percent, from 610 to 626, and injuries decreased from 2,678 to 2,613, a 2.4 percent reduction. The total reported recreational boating accidents increased from 4,064 to 4,158, a 2.9 percent increase. The fatality rate for 2015 of 5.3 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational vessels reflected a 1.9 percent increase from the previous year's rate of 5.2 deaths per 100,000 registered recreational vessels. Property damage totaled approximately $42 million. Where the cause of death was known, 76 percent of fatal boating accident victims drowned, and of those drowning victims, 85 percent were reported as not wearing a life jacket.
For more on National Safe Boating Week, please visit www.safeboatingcampaign.com.
Carl Potter is not only an industrial safety consultant who is a nationally known motivational safety speaker, but is also a volunteer to the U.S. Coast Guard as an Aircraft Commander and Flight Examiner. As a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary (which has been around since 1939) like many of the members of the Auxiliary he works side by side with our active duty Coast Guard. He encourages you to please follow safe boating practices, get your vessel inspected, and always wear your life jacket and make sure every passenger on you boat does too. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

While the United States and Russia have a responsibility to draw down their arsenals, these bilateral nuclear reductions will be increasingly difficult if other nuclear powers do not join in....[I]t is time to engage the so-called "second tier" nuclear powers, especially China. The evolution of the US-China strategic relationship can affect the next stages of international arms control, even if China does not directly participate.

"Amid setbacks and chronic challenges in almost every major region, Washington views South Korea as a linchpin on a global scale. From hosting the G20 summit in 2010 to preparing to host the next Nuclear Security Summit in 2012, South Korea has been establishing itself as a global partner in addressing common challenges, ranging from rebalancing the international economy to preventing the use of nuclear materials for terrorist attacks. For President Lee, the state visit is an important opportunity to demonstrate South Korea's unique role as a bridge between the developed and developing countries."
North Korea's Leadership Succession: The China Factor
Read more about North Korea's Leadership Succession: The China Factor
On September 28, North Korean state media announced that Kim Jong-il's third son, Kim Jong-eun, was promoted to the rank of four-star general just prior to the opening of the Workers' Party of Korea conference. Kim Jong-eun was later named vice chairman of the Party's Central Military Commission at the conference. These important developments follow the late August meeting between Chinese President Hu Jintao and North Korean leader Kim Jong-il in Changchun, near the Sino-DPRK border, which appears to have cleared the way for this Party conference. After the meeting, both countries' state media reported the leaders' support for the rising generation of the Party — a clear reference to Kim Jong-eun.

BkiUe9E5qhDCNj5tiV4H | Ventura Ledesma Abrantes (Olivença, 13 de maio de 1883 Estoril, 12 de junho de 1956) foi um líder nacionalista português, fundador do grupo irredentista Amigos de Olivença.
Neto de uma portuguesa de Ponte de Sor e de um espanhol de Badajoz, fixados em Olivença, Ventura Abrantes nasceu no seio de uma família oliventina pró-portuguesa. A família acabou por decidir fixar-se em Portugal, segundo os seus biógrafos por ser mal vista pelas autoridades espanholas.
Em Portugal, Ventura Abrantes estabeleceu-se como livreiro, representando o país nas exposições livreiras de Sevilha, Barcelona e Florença.
Em 1938 fundou uma organização que daria origem, em 1945, ao Grupo dos Amigos de Olivença. Um de seus feitos mais notáveis na Questão de Olivença foi ter convencido o ministro da Justiça português, Manuel Gonçalves Cavaleiro de Ferreira, a conceder automaticamente a nacionalidade portuguesa a todos os oliventinos que o solicitassem.
O seu livro O Património da Sereníssima Casa de Bragança em Olivença, publicado em Lisboa por Álvaro Pinto em 1954, continua a ser um dos livros mais importantes sobre a história da Olivença portuguesa.

BkiUdF85qYVBSIiKs55o | Despite national trends, Yale's undergraduate program remains one of the five most popular majors at Yale, with 129 students declared in the class of 2019 alone.
According to department chair Joanne Meyerowitz, Yale's Department of History plans to add as many as 11 new professors of history, six of which would focus on non-American and non-European history.
Here is my quick take: Yale graduates get jobs regardless of major simply because of the Yale name and alumni base. Yale students are thus able to take more risks in choosing a major. Thoughts?
I concur with your observation that Yale graduates probably don't have to be as job-focused as students coming out of other institutions. With that being said, I found it interesting that professors were being added in the more esoteric branches of history. I use the word esoteric somewhat jokingly for lack of a better word. Not too many U.S. schools have extensive studies in Asian, African, and Latin American history. It's a good thing that someone will be paying attention to these neglected fields.
When I read biographical sketches of certain historic British figures who have played prominent roles in foreign policy, government, and business, I find myself amazed at the specialization in their academic lives. For example, wasn't T.E. Lawrence an Arabist? Others studied the most arcane subjects and found use for these studies later in life. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUb3bxK0wg05VB6AtG | ASU alumni or current students - how was/is ASU for act.sci.?
I'm a mid-life career changer to actuarial work, and I'm currently living and working in the Phoenix AZ area. I have one daughter who's a senior in high school and considering following my lead. So we're looking at universities, and of course, we're looking at ASU as a possibility so she can stay at home with us.
Is there anyone out there who is going to, or has gone to ASU for math/stats aiming for a career as an actuary? I'd love to hear comments, good or bad, on how your ASU experience was/has been.
I graduated last year 2014 in May with a BS in Math and am pursuing an actuarial position currently. ASU really helped me with exam preparation for the first two exams P and FM. ASU actuary club leadership is relatively new (2-3 years) and they're very enthusiastic about the new ActScience degree. There's a lot of support and interaction with insurance and consulting companies in the valley as well so definitely go to club meetings.
I would strongly encourage an internship while still in college. I've passed two exams and have my degree and am having a hard time finding an entry level position. Maybe it's just me but I think the work experience is a huge part of it. While having a math background is great, I'm still not familiar with actuarial work. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUe13xK6-gD0Sre4H- | The Association for the Study of the World Refugee Problem in the Research Center for European Refugees - AER - was founded in 1950 and held its first General Assembly in 1951. At the General Assembly in 1952 it was decided to found a German section. It was registered in the following year as an association based in Munich. In the mid-1950s, researchers decided not to limit their research activities exclusively to European refugee problems, and therefore also founded a research society for the world refugee problem. Since both companies were identical both in terms of personnel and organization, both companies were merged into a company - the AWR - in 1961. The objectives of AWR as an international umbrella organization promotes deepening and coordinating research on the world refugee problem. In this way, it provides scientific and scientific knowledge to national and international organizations and authorities to resolve the problems of flight, displacement and migration. As a non-governmental organization, she has an observer status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council in New York and a consultative status with the Council of Europe in Strasbourg. It is also in constant contact with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Geneva. The self-understanding of the AWR is based on seven basic principles, on which the work is orientated and which are also understood as the guiding principle of the organization. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUf0LxK7IDBOV4tclQ | Discussion in 'Religion and Ethics' started by midcan5, Nov 21, 2017.
So many myths dominate American discourse today and religion is one of the big sticks.
Perspective | I know Roy Moore. He's always been a con artist.
"The Real Origins of the Religious Right - They'll tell you it was abortion. Sorry, the historical record's clear: It was segregation.""
"But the abortion myth quickly collapses under historical scrutiny. In fact, it wasn't until 1979—a full six years after Roe—that evangelical leaders, at the behest of conservative activist Paul Weyrich, seized on abortion not for moral reasons, but as a rallying-cry to deny President Jimmy Carter a second term. Why? Because the anti-abortion crusade was more palatable than the religious right's real motive: protecting segregated schools."
More insane hatred from the left.
On one hand the authors expressed their faith-based beliefs but on the other hand they forged ahead in making certain that religion would not be permitted to divide the people or to otherwise tyrannize any individual or group.
However, by their very example in writing the Federalist Papers, its authors showed that while government may not make any law respecting an establishment of religion, expressions of faith-based beliefs are natural and wholesome whether in government or among the populace, the only criteria in government being to steadfastly remain within the expressed bounds of both the letter and spirit of the second amendment law.
America was indeed founded on Christian principles. After the very first president was elected, he and all of Congress spent the rest of the day, on their knees, in a Christian church, asking God to bless this Nation, and guide them to do His will. And God did. In abundance.
Praying to Him was never in doubt or questioned when Congress convened. And it wasn't for show, or a lack of political correctness, or to push an agenda. It was Christian men wanting God's help in creating a nation. Not only was it NOT separated from their governance, it was an integral part of it.
To the above I would add, Now that we have kicked God out, how are things?
Separation of Church and State was to ensure freedom of religion, not just Christianity. It was not to protect the church from the government, but to protect the gov from the church.
Look at human history, might be better without God, worship silently. Quit pushing your beliefs on others.
Do you see everyone in your two above pictures are white.
If you are right then they would have all been guilty of breaking their own law.
Do you disbelieve that there was a first prayer in Congress? Did you miss who it was addressed to? They reiterate at the end, and took possession of God's Son as their Savior.
They made it very apparent which God they were praying to and asking for guidance from.
Color has nothing to do with the OP. Which has been proven to be incorrect.
The myth of America being "founded on the Christian religion" is one of the more pernicious lies propagated by the right.
Conservatives use this lie to justify their opposition to the Framers' mandate that church and state remain separate, and to justify their hostility toward the privacy rights of women. | c4 | 3 | 2 | 3 | 2 |

BkiUb2S6NNjgBvv4NjbJ | Twitter suspends account that helped spread encounter between MAGA teens, Native American elder
Twitter suspended an account on Monday afternoon that helped spread a controversial encounter between a Native American elder and a group of high school students wearing Make America Great Again hats.
The account claimed to belong to a California schoolteacher. Its profile photo was not of a schoolteacher, but of a blogger based in Brazil, CNN Business found. Twitter suspended the account soon after CNN Business asked about it.
The account , with the username @2020fight, was set up in December 2016 and appeared to be the tweets of a woman named Talia living in California. "Teacher & Advocate. Fighting for 2020," its Twitter bio read. Since the beginning of this year, the account had tweeted on average 130 times a day and had more than 40,000 followers.
Late on Friday, the account posted a minute-long video showing the now-iconic confrontation between a Native American elder and the high school students, with the caption, "This MAGA loser gleefully bothering a Native American protester at the Indigenous Peoples March."
That version of the video was viewed at least 2.5 million times and was retweeted at least 14,400 times, according to a cached version of the tweet seen by CNN Business.
The video shared by @2020fight did not show what preceded the confrontation between the Native American elder and the high school students.
The video had been posted earlier on Instagram by someone who was at the event, but it was @2020fight's caption that helped frame the news cycle.
Rob McDonagh , an assistant editor at Storyful, a service that vets content online, was monitoring Twitter activity on Saturday morning and said the @2020fight video was the main version of the incident being shared on social media.
In one indicator of the @2020fight's video's virality, multiple newsrooms, including some national American outlets, reached out to the user asking them directly about the video.
McDonagh said he found the account suspicious due to its "high follower count, highly polarized and yet inconsistent political messaging, the unusually high rate of tweets, and the use of someone else's image in the profile photo."
Molly McKew , an information warfare researcher who saw the tweet and shared it herself on Saturday, said she later realized that a network of anonymous accounts were working to amplify the video.
Speaking about the nature of fake accounts on social media, McKew told CNN Business, "This is the new landscape: where bad actors monitor us and appropriate content that fits their needs. They know how to get it where they need to go so it amplifies naturally. And at this point, we are all conditioned to react and engage or deny in specific ways. And we all did."
Twitter's rules forbid users from creating "fake and misleading accounts," and shortly after CNN Business asked Twitter about the account, it was suspended.
A spokesperson for Twitter told CNN Business, "Deliberate attempts to manipulate the public conversation on Twitter by using misleading account information is a violation of the Twitter Rules."
CNN Business was unable to reach the person, or people, behind the account, to ask if they were indeed a California schoolteacher that chose to use someone else's picture. Soon after we pointed out on Twitter that the account was using a different woman's profile picture, the account blocked this reporter. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbF_xK7Ehm4VQtrRK | Palestinians are being arrested by Israel for posting on Facebook
June 29, 2017 at 11:16 am | Published in: Article, Israel, Middle East, Opinion, Palestine

@AsaWinstanley
One of the more insidious aspects of Israel's military dictatorship in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is its blanket monitoring of Palestinian social networks and other forms of communication via the internet. This often leads to arrests being made. A recent report by 7amleh, the Arab Centre for Social Media Advancement, names 21 Palestinians who have been imprisoned or detained by Israel for their posts on Facebook.
An ongoing narrative popular among Israeli propagandists in the past few years blames the nebulous concept of "incitement" for the phenomenon of Palestinians fighting back against Israel's brutal occupation forces. A Mossad proxy organisation misleadingly known as the "Israel Law Centre" (aka Shurat HaDin) has even launched lawsuits against Facebook for supposedly facilitating terrorism. A US federal court threw the billion-dollar case out in May.
Last year, Israel's anti-BDS (boycott, divestment and sanctions) minister Gilad Erdan claimed that Israeli blood was "on the hands of Facebook" and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg. Shurat HaDin even organised a campaign to raise money for a billboard that would have been erected outside Zuckerberg's home
Read: Israel arrests hundreds of Palestinians over Facebook posts
The real reason that, since October 2015, many (often young) Palestinians have taken it upon themselves to attack Israeli occupation forces and settlers is far simpler than "incitement": occupation is violence; Palestinian violence is, therefore, almost by definition, a reaction to the violence of the occupation. It is a response to the far greater violence imposed by Israel and its racist military dictatorship in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
International law has long stated that people living under military occupation or colonial domination have the right to fight against it using all legitimate means, including armed struggle. UN General Assembly resolution 3246 of 29 November 1974, for example, "Reaffirms the legitimacy of the peoples' struggle for liberation from colonial and foreign domination and alien subjugation by all available means, including armed struggle."
The same resolution explicitly includes the Palestinian people as being an example of people living under such "colonial and foreign domination and alien subjugation." Hence, as long as Israel's violent colonial occupation of Palestine continues, resistance to it is inevitable, including armed resistance.
Read: 400 Palestinians arrested for Facebook posts
Nonetheless, the armed wings of the organised Palestinian political factions have been inactive since the last Israeli offensive against Gaza in 2014. During the hostilities, Palestine's Islamic Resistance Movement — Hamas — acted in a defensive capacity, striking exclusively at Israeli soldiers engaged in the attack on Gaza. The mostly-young Palestinians involved in attacks since October 2015 have acted spontaneously and of their own volition. Their acts have come as responses to the every-day violence that they endure at the hands of the Israeli occupation, and are almost certainly not the result of "incitement" online. Israel's refusal to recognise the basic reality of the situation (even disputing the legitimacy of the word "occupation" in the West Bank) means that it also refuses to accept this fact.
As a result, one of Israel's more recent scapegoats has been "incitement" on Facebook. The fact that Israel operates a military dictatorship in the occupied territories tells us all we need to know; it has no inclination to allow Palestinians any freedom of speech. The result is that Israel has arrested hundreds of Palestinians for the crime of "incitement" since October 2015.
The new 7amleh report, Hashtag Palestine 2016, details examples of the 21 Palestinians arrested by the Israeli army due to Facebook posts. They include Samah Dweik, a 25-year-old Palestinian journalist arrested in Jerusalem who spent six months in Israeli jails for the "crime" of expressing support for Palestinians who had been killed by Israel. At the time of her arrest, Dweik had been covering the arrest of a young girl who was accused of attempting to stab a soldier.
Also detailed is Mohammad Amarneh, a Palestinian teenager arrested and detained for three months without trial. A military "judge" decided to intern Amarneh on the basis of unspecified crimes against "state security" supposed to have been committed by him in a Facebook post. The teenager denied the allegations and said that he did not even have a Facebook account.
The report also lists some of the most popular and influential social media campaigns that Palestinians launched in 2016. The biggest, in terms of interactions and results on search engine listings, was #FBCensorsPalestine.
#OccupiedPalestine
This was a campaign which raised awareness of Facebook's apparent censorship of Palestinian content. Israeli ministers had met with a delegation from Facebook and submitted 158 requests to remove "inciting content" and the company allegedly complied with 95 per cent of them. After the Palestinian campaign, Facebook denied signing this agreement.
There was, though, no doubt that the Facebook accounts of two influential Palestinian journalists had been suspended; they were later restored. Speaking to The Electronic Intifada, Facebook apologised and said that the suspensions had been a mistake. "The pages were removed in error and restored as soon as we were able to investigate," a spokesperson said. "Our team processes millions of reports each week, and we sometimes get things wrong. We're very sorry about this mistake."
The accounts belonged to the administrators of Quds and Shehab News Agency, which together then had more than 11 million Facebook "likes", making them two of the most widely read Palestinian publications on the internet. Facebook should not be allowed to get away with acting as a proxy for Israeli military

The September 2010 issue of Elle features this embellished horn necklace from Alexis Bittar.
Lucky magazine's September 2010 issue features a silver antler necklace by Giles&Brother by Philip Crangi.
The September 2010 issue of Elle devotes half a page to a new designer, "Brit bad boy" Dominic Jones, who creates "Oversize rings, cuffs, and necklaces inspired by prickly insects and dangerous reptiles" employing "Resin casts of alligator jaws and stag beetles that Jones translates into brass and gold plating." His alligator cuff is shown above.
In a montage captioned "Into the Woods," the September 2010 issue of Marie Claire notes that "the new hero pieces are wild and furry." The magazine features a toothy necklace from Maria Francesca Pepe and a set of leather wrap bracelets from Giles&Brother by Philip Crangi, one with a snake-like S hook, the other a brass "pied-de-biche" cuff that resembles a pair of deer hooves; the dress seen in the background is by Paul Smith.

In the October 2010 issue of Marie Claire is pictured a tusk necklace by Mawi combined with a "jeweled necklace" from Carol Marie.
