Detectives are investigating rumors of a possible homicide that was reported to officials on May 3rd at around 4:30 p.m. in the 1500 block of East Alder Street. No body has been recovered at this time. The alleged homicide may have occurred days before it was reported to law enforcement.
Detectives and members of the Washington State Patrol Crime Scene Response Team conducted an exhaustive search of the basement unit rental on Wednesday at the corner of Alder and Wilbur. Numerous items were collected for further examination.
Area law enforcement agencies are assisting with searches being conducted in other areas to locate the body of the yet unidentified individual.

“In excess of 70 supervisory staff has now been through the NEBSM programme and the feedback have been extremely positive and complimentary to you. This feedback is not solely from the delegates!
"Many thanks Errol for a very inspiring day and keeping us focused. The feedback, as you can see, is very positive and I was interested to see what staff had taken away from the day. Many of them are going to have more positive attitude towards their work and in managing their stress which is exactly what we hoped this day would bring.... Collette, Fay and myself are really looking forward to going to the BAR, and I think I’ll use this with my husband too – though no alcohol involved!
My reflection from the day was that as a Senior Manager, I need to make sure that our staff are aware they are building a castle, not simply breaking the stone as this has a great impact on motivation. I feel a vision coming on…..I’m sure the day will also inspire greater self-awareness, which although directed at work life, will enhance all areas of the teams’ lives.
"Big Gill McCabe had already spent 10 years sleeping rough in and around London when we first met in the summer of 1985. I remember Gill, then aged 24, as a hefty woman, heavy in the back and rump, who walked with a quick, intimidating swagger. She wore heavy boots and faded jeans.
A couple of teeth were missing at the front and her dark eyes were ringed with purple. Looking again at those 1985 photographs, she evinces nothing so much as disarray; a shout for pity. She had arrived here through a combination of a bad beginning, her personal fallibilities and a political social culture that is expert in the production of can't and crocodile tears but not much else for her sort. Some people ride through bad times. They have the resources or the good fortune. Others like Gill McCabe, fizzle out. Unless miracles happen.
"It was a couple of weeks after the course started that her cancer was redefined as a cyst; homeopathic tablets she says have since virtually eliminated it. Then she met Steve, a former landscape gardener whose marriage and job had busted apart, so that, like Gill, he was sleeping rough in Lincoln's Inn Fields. They decided to reclaim her old flat and face what duffy had to offer. But the place was uninhabitable. That's when Camden Council moved Gill to her present block in King's Cross. She moved in as a sober woman. "Gill McCabe is as amazing as anyone by the transformation in her life.
"Hi Errol. This was by far the best presented course I have attended and I have come back so eager to learn more and build upon what I have learned. In fact I switched off my favourite CD (Enrique Inglesis) and as my kids would tell you that was really something – and I revised everything I learned all the way home – I talked through everything I learned and it was so AMAZING at how everything was jumping out at me – the notes all around the room, the pictures from the notes, phrases from the course, your fantastic stories.
I really think I talked through everything even the things that I could not recall when we summarised during the three days. I was really amazed. On reaching home I couldn’t stop talking about it! The rapport we struck up with you and the team as a whole was really great. Your teaching skills and personality, together with this rapport, really enabled us all to learn so much and thoroughly enjoy the three day. As I said I had only intended to stay till lunchtime on Friday as I had initially understood that it was a one day course and it was half term week for my children – but I was pleased to stay to the end, and we would all have stayed longer!! I really look forward to a Refresher Course/Action Update, maybe in a years time, as we discussed.
A HARLESDEN business man has developed into a living advert for the positive thinking he promotes – by becoming one of the world’s top motivational speakers.
Errol A Williams, 40, of Roundwood Road, left South Kilburn High School with no formal qualifications, but through sheer self-belief, desire and determination he has worked his way to the top of a highly competitive tree.
Raised in Harlesden since the age of 12, Errol had his first taste of management at the Bridge Park Project and decided to use his rise to prominence to put something back into the community. Errol said: "I read all the American motivational speakers and then started developing my own techniques and showing them to under – privileged and unemployed people.
"I discovered that the programmes were working very, very well. They were bringing people back to life. We take 20 unemployed people on the programme at a time and help them fulfil their potential.
"They get a lot of benefits: how to listen, how to communicate better, how to improve their CV and be more assertive. We help them set up a plan of action for their lives over the next three to five years." Though he does a lot of work with business and managerial types, it’s the success stories at the other end of the spectrum, which give Errol the most satisfaction.
"When I was working in Covent Garden there was a man called Peter who asked me for a pound. He and a friend of his ended up doing 20 sessions of the programme which prompted them to find a flat, get a job and start moving forward with their lives." Over the years Errol has seen innumerable positive examples which reinforce his belief that people only need a little encouragement to harness their potential.
"The key to success is having a vision, without that you will perish. Most people come to the programme very skeptical, and de-motivated.
"We will ask them what their vision is and then help them crystallize that vision and focus upon a strategy. You have got to believe in yourself."
Errol gives an example of a 15-year-old girl who was dwelling on the negative aspects of her life until she was asked to make a list of her goals – the girl came up with 115 objectives that she wanted to achieve. Now Errol has emulated the American motivators that initially empowered him and written his own personal development book entitled Pursuing Excellence.
He said: "I believe that everybody on this planet has a God-given unlimited potential to do great things." We have got to change the way we look at success and drop all the self-defeatism that holds us back.
"My great ambition is to train one million people in leadership. Whether they are leaders of nations or leaders of their local community."
Anyone interested in enrolling on a programme with Scholar International can contact the company.
Here are some of the clients that Errol have served for over 32 years.

Originally developed by a Vietnam War trauma surgeon who saw the need for a lighter, more portable splint, SAM splints are now used extensively by emergency medical crews, search-and-rescue teams, the military, Outward Bound, and NOLS. Open any mountain professional’s pack and you’ll find one.
The construction is simple: a thin core of aluminum alloy bonded to outer layers of closed-cell foam—hence “SAM,” which stands for Structural Aluminum Malleable. These ingenious splints can be folded and crammed into packs easily, but when bent into functional curves, they provide rigid, strong support. SAM splints come with in-depth instructions for splinting almost any traumatic injury, but we’ll cover the three basic shapes and their corresponding applications.
The simplest and easiest shape to bend. Use your hands to bend the SAM splint into a C-channel—the deeper the bend, the more strength and rigidity it provides. Good for finger and wrist injuries.
Bend a normal C-Curve, then increase the rigidity even more by bending the outside edge in the reverse direction. Good for lower-leg injuries.
Fold the splint in half and pull the outer edges together. Then bend the outer edges in the opposite direction to create a T-shaped beam. Good for when immobilization is critical. | 2019-04-26T04:05:03Z | http://www.outsidebozeman.com/magazine/archives/spring-2014/sam-i-am |
Marketing Expertise: How Did we Leave That Out?
If you have been around the franchise sales profession for more than just a cup of coffee, you personally know, or have been told repeatedly, that the decision to invest in a franchise is far greater than buying furniture, fixtures, equipment, and software. The investment in a franchise is about fulfilling personal goals, whether achieving a lifestyle, leaving a legacy, or resolving a particular event in life.
To make the monumental and life-changing decision to invest in any franchise concept, a candidate must envision how to apply their personal assets--knowledge, experience, and money--to a franchise model, the success of which will support their lifestyle, legacy, or resolution.
So how does this happen? Over the years, my largest, multi-unit franchise owner regularly repeated a favorite line that answers our question well. He would say, "Jim, nothing happens till somebody sells something." And how do franchise owners sell things? They attract customers through effective marketing strategies ranging from face-to-face sales to online ordering, depending upon the model.
While often refined by franchise owners, most effective strategies are developed by the brand, a capability I refer to as knowing how to "put butts in the seats." Franchise candidates buy the marketing knowledge, experience, and expertise of the brand. Yet, as we all know, more franchise candidates are qualified to learn operating systems, customer sales, or service than how to develop successful marketing strategies. Perhaps this is best supported by the consternation that exists between franchise owner and franchisor over the marketing fund spend or the claim that marketing strategies "do not work in my market."
Why is it then, that as franchise sales professionals, the topic we spend the least amount of time on is marketing expertise? A telltale sign: Does marketing training even appear on the new owner training curriculum under Item 11?
Far too often, the marketing presentation given during the franchise sales process highlights only the services provided by marketing staff, such as identifying local promotional opportunities, cost/inquiry analysis, adapting the annual/national promotional calendar to local market conditions, or grand opening support. While all are great topics that require review, they are not sufficiently powerful to demonstrate how our marketing knowledge is the point of differentiation for our brand and franchise model. As a result, candidates simply bundle "marketing" under "franchisor support services" and continue to search for a compelling reason to join.
The topics we typically fail to discuss are: How do we know what we know about our target customer, and what do we know about influencing their behavior? Most important, how does our influence over their behavior create a positive return? Stated more bluntly, "We know how to put butts in the seats and are willing to share that information with you."
The brand vision and values (and no, it is not your product or service), how we communicate it, and how franchise owners are expected to support that vision.
The specific market niche the brand occupies in terms of audience, product, or service benefit.
What we know about target consumers, how we know it, and how we back it up.
How we can influence the target consumer's behavior.
How we quantify the results of marketing strategies and activities.
How we transfer marketing expertise to franchise owners on an ongoing basis.
Likewise, franchisors are qualifying the marketing expertise of each candidate by gauging: 1) their understanding, agreement, and buy-in of the brand's vision and values they will represent to consumers; 2) their commitment to funding and consistent execution of marketing strategies; and 3) their past sales and marketing experience relevant to the business model.
Of the thousands of hours we spent with candidates in 2016, we devoted the majority of our time together to reviewing the marketing expertise of the brand they selected. Once established as the key point of differentiation among the competition, we reinforce how the brand's marketing capability is the driving force behind best-in-class average unit volume, operations, and profitability.
In our experience, a sales program that has a sharp, consistent focus on the marketing capabilities that drive unit success and profitability is the most compelling of all franchise presentations. This year we plan to spend even more time unveiling each brand's marketing expertise.
It does not take long to audit a sales program. How do you present the marketing capabilities of your brand (if at all)? Is it the review of a laundry list of support services, or a demonstration of the driving force behind your success? Do candidates believe the brand has the marketing expertise and experience to help them achieve their goals?
Knowing how to put butts in the seats doesn't just apply to selling a product or service, it applies to all of us in the development business as well.

You try to smile as you head to work, keeping in mind the next day is your day off and you “only have to make it through 12 hours.” You try to think of all the ways that things could go right, the things that could work in your favor. You try to listen to your favorite music when you can and even hum a few bars as your walking down the halls of work, and you try to imagine what life would be like if you were as beautiful as you imagined yourself skinny, staring at the reflection.
You try to go home and forget about the image you saw staring back at you at work. You try to pretend that your stomach is just vibrating and not growling, as if you left your phone in your front pocket (or something like that.) You try to listen to music and not fall asleep behind the wheel, and you try not to dream about a skinnier you.
You try to make something healthy in your kitchen, counting calories and guesstimating amounts that could melt the weight off you over night. You try to do yoga for six hours to lose the most weight in the least amount of time. You try to, at least you try to.
The mirror stares at you as you take fists full of fat, taunting you and you try to convince yourself you don’t need to eat, your body can survive a year off that fat. You try to starve yourself, believing it’s the only way to get that body in the mirror. You try, and you fail, stuffing food in your face. You couldn’t live without the soda, you couldn’t live without the chicken, you couldn’t live without the cheese, and now you can’t live with yourself because you never try hard enough. | 2019-04-19T15:19:35Z | https://yournametiesmetoyou.blog/2018/09/27/failure-at-its-finest/ |

Welcome to week two, and welcome Nikki.
This week, we'll be solving business problems using Excel's logical functions.
So, Nikki, kindly let us know what exactly Excel's logical functions are?
Absolutely. So, a logical function is a function where we perform a logical test.
So, we compare two values using a logical operator.
This will then return true or false.
we perform one or another action.
and not every single customer.
you're going to look to use a logical function.
So, what logical function will we start this week off with?
most versatile, and most commonly used.
So, the IF function sounds like a bit of a break away from what we're used to.
Could you please break down the IF function for our learners step-by-step?
With pleasure. So, the IF function requires three arguments.
The first argument is this logical test.
This is where we're going to compare two values using a logical operator.
So, for example, let's say everything from 50 and over is a pass.
we're going to say IF their mark greater than or equal to 50.
So, that's our first argument.
what we're going to do if that logical test returns a true?
So, in this case, we give them a pass.
what we're going to do if the logical test returns a false?
So, in this case, we give them a fail.
the arguments in the IF function are extremely important.
did the student get less than 50?
That will be equally valid.
So, you can ask it either way round.
You just need to make sure that your argument is then supported.
and the third argument will be they got the pass.
Just we do need to be a little careful with those logical operators though.
did the student get greater than 49?
Because then they got 49.3, that end up getting a pass.
So, just something to look out for.
What if we have more than one logical tested before?
The IF function on its own can only do the one logical test.
the AND and the OR.
Their sole job in life is to perform logical tests.
They can each do up to 255.
So, no real limit there.
The way the AND works is if all the logical tests return true, it returns a true.
The OR, just one of the tests needs to return true and it will return true.
So, we'll have a look at how to work with them on their own.
them with the IF function to get the full power.
Sounds great. What if we have more than two outcomes?
Again. Unfortunately, the IF can only give us the two outcomes.
But, what we can do is pack more IFs inside our IF.
we can pretty much get as many outcomes as we need.
Are we going to end of the week with a bit of a bonus?
They basically allow us to track and manage errors in our own way in our workbook.
So again, really helpful little functions.
Sounds great. Thank you, Nikki.
Now, we've got some practice videos for you.
Make sure you download the Excel workbooks and work alongside us step-by-step.
When you finish them, come back and practice them again because practice makes permanent.
we've got a great practice challenge for you this week.
Make sure you check out this week's toolbox as well as this week's great initiative. | 2019-04-19T06:23:09Z | https://zh-tw.coursera.org/lecture/excel-intermediate-2/week-2-discussion-bpJu9 |
How to Convince Advertisers That VR is Worth the Investment?
It’s been more than two years since the rebirth of VR, and brands and agencies are more involved and not so easy to wow anymore. Now CMOs and CTOs need to report to their management and sell them on why a VR investment is sound and worthwhile.
How do we measure the success? And what kind of ROI should we expect for a good VR experience? Here’s some ammo for when you need to answer those hard questions.
How Does One Effectively Measure Virtual Reality’s Marketing Efficacy?
Though each VR advertisement is unique, on average VR ads receive farm more consumer interaction than more traditional forms of digital marketing. Webpage FX reports that while the average click-through-rate of a traditional ad viewed on mobile device and desktop is 1.0% and 0.4%, respectively, the gaze-through-rate of a VR ad approaches nearly thirty percent! In addition to that, while install rates of the former two examples are 0.5% and 0.2%, respectively, the install rate for VR ads is an impressive 12.5%! This is great news for firms attempting to promote a particular brand as a growing body of data indicates that when consumers are exposed to virtual and augmented reality advertising they are likely to spend 60% more on the marketed products and five times more likely to develop brand loyalty.
Moving on to tools which track both user interaction and measure analytical data, a pair of Icelandic developers created Ghostline, a program that measures a VR user’s interaction with VR products in real-time and even gets a read on consumer emotion. This program also has the capacity to present marketers with statistics such as user height, room size, and data otherwise impossible to collect. This is a particular good service if you are looking at any form of advertising in which involves of overlaps with the video games space given Ghostline’s development backstory.
CognitiveVR performs similar functions – it aggregates data such as user interaction patterns, user travel patterns, and gaze time while the user experiences either virtual or augmented reality.
In addition to measuring engagement, indicators of subject’s boredom, and VR device type, Retinadvr employs heat maps to track users eye movements while in a virtual environment. This allows a marketing agency to determine which specific object placement or action is effective and allows for more efficient refinement of a given advertisement. InstaVR provides a similar series of services while also condensing VR environment construction to a web-based process so easy to use a simple ad can be constructed in a few minutes.
Newer entrants which may be useful in the VR marketing analytic space include Virtualitics, a data-first VR service to provide a more advanced and thorough analysis and examination of VR data.
This service uses a sophisticated “smart” mapping system based on a unique machine learning and natural language which neatly condenses and presents vital statistical data. Further, Virtualitics is can be used for collaborations on a wide variety of devices including virtual reality, augmented reality, mobile, and desktop devices.
What Can One Reasonably Expect With Respect to ROI?
As previously implied with any emerging technology a hard estimate for return on investment is difficult particularly since it is largely dependent on how effectively the technology is used.
Additionally, the type of industry is another variable one must consider when attempting to predict specific returns. As a result, some of the more cynical -- and in our view behind the curve -- members of the VR tech sector have even invented a “pseudoscientific” formula to measure VR marketing returns.
However, there are in fact a few case studies available; for instance, the branding agency Imagination and VR production firm Rewind developed a social VR experience for the promotion of Jaguar's revolutionary electric I-Pace sports car. In both London and Los Angeles during the 2016 LA Auto Show, dozens of users were connected to a multi-user event which included three live-streams. Throughout the day of the presentation, 300 guests on two continents were able to inspect the vehicle's exterior. Following that they were treated to sit in the driver's seat during a simulated drive through Venice Beach while going over the car's features, and “meet” a couple of the car's creators Ian Hoban and Ian Callum.
In addition to receiving several awards for presentation – the VR experience has generated so much demand for the I-Pace that Jaguar may not be able to keep pace with production. To provide specifics, even though the vehicle isn't slated to be released until early 2018 and a final price has not yet been set, the car has generated 25,000 confirmed orders.
VR marketing has even yielded measurable returns for the public sector as well. The United Nation’s film, ‘Clouds of Sitra’ is a VR movie which tracks the events in the life of a Jordanian girl in a refugee camp. After debuting in Kuwait City in 2015, the film brought in $1 billion dollars more in donations then had been expected. Following that, UNICEF used the same VR experience and witnessed an almost 18% increase in donations.
To refer to a somewhat unusual example, a team of volunteers formed an educational startup based out of Ireland to produce a complete, virtual experience structured around the Apollo 11 landing. Using archival footage and photographs the team has put together a prototype for the app demo and promoted the experience using Facebook’s Oculus Rift VR headset at educational events in Ireland. While the original goal for Kickstarter donations was €30,000 the project has received donations in excess of €36,000.
Although specific returns have not yet been reported in some cases, the sheer number of experiments in VR advertising should engender a certain degree of confidence in the technologies application as an effective means of marketing.
In summary, VR marketing has already been demonstrated to be an incredibly efficacious form of advertising and clearly possesses additional, untapped future advertising uses. | 2019-04-23T01:56:38Z | https://uberealagency.com/blogcontent/2017/12/27/how-to-convince-advertisers-that-vr-is-worth-the-investment |

In our current study of FAITH we are looking at the life of Moses. God was building the faith of Moses so he could overcome his fears and failures. Moses was at first not a very willing student in the school of faith. In fact, he made a lot of excuses to not do the required assignments. But with each excuse God answered graciously and provided continued opportunities for Moses to pass the class.
Use what we have and let God give us more.
You see, the Holy Spirit is responsible to give us the answers at the time that we need them. We have nothing to fear. Faith overcomes our insecurities.
God gave Moses the direct answer he was supposed to give if the people questioned him: tell them, “I AM” has sent you.” That answer qualifies all of us to the questions people will ask about what we believe. We believe in the Eternal, Almighty, Sovereign God. That’s all the theology we need to go anywhere God sends us.
Just tell people what you know about Jesus. | 2019-04-23T14:29:24Z | https://lifelinkdevo.com/2019/03/21/faith-overcomes-insecurity/ |

I read CSS3 for Web Designers published by A Book Apart on the train home last night and finished it off this morning. The author Dan Cederholm has done a great job of describing the use of the most widely supported CSS3 properties available to date. It’s really succinct and to the point, which is what you want from such a short book. There’s definitely no rambling here, but there are a few quirky turns of phrase to liven it up and keep you interested.
I’ve been using the CSS3 properties (and more) described in this book, but there were a few things I picked up on when reading through it. Providing a colour value when using RGBA values, giving browsers that don’t support RGBA colours something to fall back to. This is a prime example and common sense, really! I’m also keen to try out the parallax background idea using multiple CSS backgrounds. It looks so cool.
Overall I think this is a great entry point into CSS3 for someone that hasn’t really dabbled with it before. Like I said, I picked up a few key points I hadn’t thought of, or read about, that will be useful in the future. Even if you’ve been using CSS3 for a while I would say it’s a useful and good read. | 2019-04-19T22:59:32Z | http://ceefourbee.co.uk/2012/03/web/css3-for-web-designers/ |
In my last post, I mentioned that when I was in primary school I found it very confusing to learn different ways to say “hello” to different numbers of people. However, I think that as adults we can probably handle it ok, and it does provide a useful introduction to the different words used.
I think it is important, before starting, to mention that the 3 forms for “you” used in these greetings are not unique to these phrases; these words are useful in all sorts of sentences, this is just an easy way to introduce them and learn one thing at a time.
These ways of saying “hello” are a bit more formal than simply saying kia ora (kia ora is more like “hi”). Literally these phrases mean “there you are”. The koe/kōrua/koutou is the “you” part of the phrase, and koe/kōrua/koutou are used in any sentence when in English you would use the word “you” – but in te reo Māori you have to think about how many people you’re referring to. In English we did used to use thou for singular “you” and you for plural “you”, but eventually thou was dropped. So using different words for “you” is a bit of a change for a modern English speaker!
For some people, it can seem like a lot to be learning so many ways to say “hello” rather than just learning one and then moving on to something else, but (besides the fact that you need to learn these at some point anyway) it is useful to start thinking about using these 3 different versions of the pronoun “you” as this is a big concept to get used to in te reo Māori. | 2019-04-24T18:56:07Z | https://tearawhiti.wordpress.com/2017/02/20/tena-koe-tena-korua-tena-koutou/ |

Shōji Hamada (濱田 庄司, Hamada Shōji, December 9, 1894 – January 5, 1978) was a Japanese potter. He was a significant influence on studio pottery of the twentieth century, and a major figure of the mingei folk-art movement, establishing the town of Mashiko as a world-renowned pottery centre. In 1955 he was designated a "Living National Treasure". | 2019-04-24T16:10:09Z | https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artists/shoji-hamada-8795 |
I ran the potatoes through a cheese grater because I don't have a ricer. That got them into a super aerated pile. I added the egg and added flour until the whole thing was clinging together. I lifted it onto a floured surface, kneaded for about 4 minutes. I'm not a pasta adept so I don't know if I overworked - safe to assume I did.
I blanched in boiling water until they floated to the top, then I pan fried them in olive oil until golden brown on both sides. They were too chewy when they came out (No doubt wrong proportions of ingredients) but bizarrely, they tasted and smelt like English pancakes. I'm just wondering, is there something with the egg and the flour that would cause this?
Not using a ricer or mill could cause you to inadvertently over-work the mixture; by the time you feel like you get the right tactile response it could very well be over-glutenous (this explains the chewy center). If your budget permits, even a cheap ricer or small mill would help (they're found for as low as $10), if not, just try mashing with a fork until fine prior to mixing with the flour and egg.
You need to be somewhat aggressive with salt, as others have pointed out. Twice as much as you think you need might seem like a lot, but try that as a general measure.
Those points could also be contributors to the taste you describe but the sum of the ingredients matter here, too. How old was the flour? With pasta and gnocci, I use a brand that's clearly marked with a packaged date so it can be rotated properly.
Also, did you groove them? Little grooves on the sides help the Maillard reaction so they don't need to fry as long, which keeps the oil from going pungent, and helps hold the salt a little better.
Source: I've screwed up more Gnocchi than I've gotten right. It's a labor of love, and so rewarding when they come out perfectly. Don't give up!

Read the blog to find out why Appian is rated a leader in Gartner MQ for iBPMS – and its implications for Financial Services.
When I joined Appian as the leader of the financial services practice, I believed that the Appian application platform could proactively help clients to better address regulations, dramatically improve customer on-boarding, and foster omni-channel strategies through digital transformation technology. I know now from firsthand experience that Appian’s platform – powered by Business Process Management (BPM) – can also deliver unique and specific features that our customers need, when they need them. What’s impressive is that the attributes that make Appian a leader in serving our customers in banking and capital markets are recognized by Gartner, Inc., with Appian positioned in their leader quadrant in the 2016 “Gartner MQ for iBPMS″ analysis.
The Magic Quadrant is an independent analysis of technology products, in this case Business Process Management software. iBPMS platforms extend the transformational enterprise value of BPM through tight integration of modern technologies including data management and analytics, mobility, social collaboration, and cloud computing. Combined together, these capabilities foster better decisions and faster response to customer needs amidst evolving opportunities and challenges.
Gartner research highlights Appian’s customer satisfaction rate, noting how Appian customers are more satisfied than those using our competitors for BPM.
Gartner also notes Appian’s strong Records capabilities, saying, “Appian Records provides an intuitive ad hoc data integration capability. Records is accessible from the social interface, acting as a context broker and enabling situationally adaptive behavior.” Appian has the differentiating capability to integrate structured data, documents, reports, and collaboration so that all users have one unified view of their clients.
Gartner also notes Appian’s ability to deliver value to our customers in the shortest timescales, on average three months. Crucially, our customer and partners are also able to deliver these solutions at a lower total cost than our competitors.
Grab the full report here, so you can find out first hand Gartner’s explanation of all the features Appian can provide, and how we stack up against our competition.
After you’ve reviewed it, send me an email and we can discuss how Appian can specifically benefit your institution, Michael.Heffner@appian.com.

GPs who want to return to practice in Wales can have access to a package of measures to support the process.
The scheme announced by the Welsh Government is aimed at GPs who have taken a career break or a period of work outside the UK.
It will also support doctors who have qualified outside the UK and choose to work in Wales.
The Welsh measures include a more targeted assessment of an individual’s skills, so they can safely enter the workforce with the right support.
The Medical Performers Lists in Wales will be amended to provide GPs who wish to work outside the UK the opportunity to remain on the list for a maximum of five years.
This will mean that returning GPs will no longer have to undertake the induction and refresher scheme.
Prospective returners to the GP workforce will continue to receive financial support for up to six months, depending on the clinical support required.
It follows the announcement this month of an induction and refresher scheme for GPs in England who will receive a £2,300-a-month bursary while working in a supervised placement. | 2019-04-23T11:01:35Z | https://www.bma.org.uk/news/2015/march/help-for-doctors-returning-to-general-practice |
Mobile devices are everywhere. The evidence they hold can be the key to a successful investigation outcome, if you are able to acquire it. Water-damaged phones add even more complexity. How successful have you and your agency been in responding to water-damaged devices?
Steve Watson, a technologist focused in the areas of e-discovery, forensics, risk and compliance, posed this question to a full house at Enfuse (CEIC 2015) earlier this year. The popularity of his session, “Water-Damaged Devices – An Analysis of Evidence Locker Corrosion,” made a clear statement that EnCase® users are ready and eager to learn how best to tackle the data that resides on damaged devices.
And we’re back with another post to walk you through one of the over 150 EnScripts® that can be found at EnCase® App Central. This three-part series will introduce and explore four EnScripts to help you make the most of EnCase App Central, manage and organize your evidence, and finally, show you a new option when it comes to creating your case report. In the previous post we discussed What’s New in App Central and Manfred’s Comprehensive Case Template.

I had a wonderful experience at RoboSub! I got to network with members of other teams and with sponsors of the event. The environment was very collaborative; all the teams were willing to offer advice or discuss ideas to improve our vehicle. I think this is what makes RoboSub really appealing. We are all competing, but at the same time we are trying to learn as much as we can and to share that knowledge with others.
I’ve volunteered at a wide range of educational events in the past but I’ve never been a part of something that was so inspiring – watching these amazingly capable students work together and show what their robots can do. If these students are representative of their generation, we’re in very good hands.
The SeaGlide program is a perfect "next step" for teachers who have done SeaPerch or MATE with their students and are looking for an even more challenging authentic engineering project. Through the SeaGlide program students are introduced to the Arduino micro controller and are able to hone their programming skills as they adjust the glide rate of their glider. This hands-on experience with micro controllers gives students confidence in tackling a wide array of other engineering projects.
First, thank you again for the gift of learning you provided for my students. They are still talking about the experience, and last week connected the concept of fish swim bladders to the buoyancy concepts we learned. How wonderful to see a student typically not interested in academics, and so excited by this project that he asks first thing in the day, "Do we have Science today?"
On behalf of my students, thank you for giving us the privilege of participation at the elementary level. | 2019-04-26T02:22:54Z | https://www.auvsifoundation.org/testimonials |
Trying to conceive (TTC) can be challenging. Not all couples get pregnant right away, and many couples experience trouble getting pregnant.
For couples that are having difficulty conceiving naturally, the Stock OTC is a excellent option. The Stork OTC is an medical device available over the counter and designed for in-home use by couples trying to conceive.
My husband and I began trying to conceive near the end of 2015. I thought it would be easy, and I was surprised when the next month came and I got my period as usual. What were we doing wrong?!
My cycle has always been very irregular, which caused me to get false hope that I was pregnant only to be let down with negative pregnancy test after negative pregnancy test.
In an effort to be as healthy as I could be I went on a diet and lost around 30 pounds. I ate well and cut my caffeine down from 3-5 cups of coffee a day to 1 cup a day (which is no easy feat!).
A year had come and gone with no success. I began to wonder if it was even possible for me to get pregnant.
Of course I thought about talking to my doctor about my difficulty trying to conceive, but I never ended up doing it. I kept hanging onto hope that we could do this on our own.
Come November 2016 I was suffering from an awful sinus infection (unfortunately a frequent occurrence for me) so I made an appointment with my doctor. I was on my way out the door to see my doctor when I had a thought – maybe I should take a pregnancy test just to make sure I am not pregnant before potentially getting put on antibiotics. Better be safe than sorry, right?!
I took the test and BAM! There it was. My big fat positive!
Seriously?! Why did you give me an expired test in the first place?! My mind was racing and I was filled with emotions.
Blood test results would take a few days to come back so hubby and I picked up 2 more pregnancy tests at the pharmacy, each a different brand. We wanted to figure this out ASAP once and for all.
Over the next 2 days I took both tests, which both came out positive. At this point I really wanted to believe that I was pregnant, but at the same time that negative test from the doctors office was in the back of my mind.
It wasn't until my blood work results came back that I knew for certain that I was in fact pregnant. When the nurse congratulated me on my pregnancy it finally felt real. We were going to have a baby!
We waited until Christmas to tell our family the good news. I wanted to make our pregnancy reveal special. My mother has been talking about wanting to be a grandmother for years. We hadn't shared that we were trying to conceive, so the news would be a big surprise. We purchased coffee mugs that read “World's best grandma” and “World's greatest Aunt,” and wrapped them up like holiday gifts.
I wanted to be able to record my mother and sister's reactions, so I acted like I was giving them a gag gift (which I have been known to do before) so they wouldn't think twice about me filming them. I also asked my sister to open hers slowly since I anticipated her being much quicker to unwrap than my mom. You can watch our pregnancy reveal in the video below.
Precious reactions, right?! I love this video and have watched it again and again since recording it. I really just can't get enough of their reactions!
Hubby and I couldn't be happier and currently working on getting the nursery ready for our little man who is due to arrive July 28, 2017.
Many couples face issues when trying to conceive. My husband and I were lucky and managed to get pregnant naturally after a littler over a year of trying. Other couples might not be that lucky, or may simply not want to wait that long. Month after month of trying to conceive is stressful and nerve wracking.
The Stork OTC is a home conception device, available without a prescription, that can be used as a shortcut on the road to conception.

No doctor. No drugs. No shots. No Scans. No prescriptions. No procedures.
The Stock OTC is a great choice to try before considering costly in clinic fertility treatments.
Just pick up the Stock OTC at your local Walgreens or other drug store and use it right in the comfort of your own home to increase your chances of becoming pregnant.
OMG Jaclyn, I was terrified to read this post when it popped up in my email. I haven’t seen much from you on Facebook and was afraid you were going to say something bad happened in this post. Not that you necessarily would do that on your blog or anything, but yeah… haha. Eeek!! I’m still so happy for you and your husband!! Wish you all the luck in the world with your pregnancy and birth. Can’t wait to see pictures of your little guy. 😀 Take care!
Their reactions were priceless. I am glad that you were able to become pregnant. I too know people who have had a lot of difficulty in conceiving. | 2019-04-24T16:50:01Z | https://crayonsandcravings.com/my-ttc-and-pregnancy-story/ |

Bunting Magnetics FF Drawer Magnets remove ferrous contamination from dry free flowing products flowing by gravity. Bunting Magnetics Drawer Magnets are fitted with super strong Neodymium Rare Earth magnets that capture and hold ferrous metal particles which can be so small that you may not be able to see them with the naked eye.
Unlike competing Rare Earth Drawer Magnets that can permanently lose their magnetic fields at temperatures above 175 degrees F, Bunting Magnetic’s exclusive FF Drawer Magnet design is the only temperature-compensated Rare Earth Drawer Magnet made for injection moulding machines. The FF Drawer Magnet is guaranteed not to lose its permanent magnetic strength when bolted to feed throats operating at temperatures of 175 degrees F (80 degrees C).
The highly refined Bunting Magnetics FF Drawer Magnets are the only temperature-compensated Rare Earth magnets available for injection molding machines. The Bunting Magnetics FF Drawer Magnets products are guaranteed not to lose its magnetic strength when bolted to feed throats operating at temperatures in excess of 175 degrees F. This means guaranteed durability and less downtime for you. You also get reduced screw wear and fewer plugged nozzles.
Bunting Magnetics FF Drawer Magnets have been the Plastics Industry’s most popular choice for extrusion, injection and blow moulding equipment for the past 40 years becoming an industry standard.
The Neodymium magnets have exceptional surface holding force for more complete removal of contaminants and less chance of “wipe-off”.
The standard Bunting Magnetics FF Drawer Magnet units tend to have two trays of drawer magnets inside each unit, although you can have between 1 and 5 trays. So you can request anything from 1 through to 5 trays in your unit.
As well as the models on the website we also offer self-cleaning and continuously self-cleaning versions, so production is not stopped.
For applications where the temperature is safely below 175 degrees F, the Bunting Magnetics HF Drawer Magnets could be used instead.
If you are looking to upgrade your existing drawer magnet, make sure you avoid potential equipment damage! Upgrade with the best…Bunting Magnetics. | 2019-04-22T20:56:21Z | https://e-magnetsuk.com/magnet_products/magnetic_separation/ff_drawer_magnets.aspx |

Donating to the Soo Finnish Nordic Ski Club supports local learn to ski lessons and race programs for youth and adults, as well as club activities including lantern skis. Cheques can be mailed to the address above.
Volunteers keep our club running. Click here for a list of the Board of Directors, Club Executive, Committee Chairs and other key volunteer positions.
The Soo Finnish Nordic Ski Club has a long history of community service with respect to cross-country skiing in Sault Ste. Marie. As the club’s name suggests, its roots stem directly from the many Finnish immigrants who settled in the Sault Ste. Marie area in the mid-1900s.
The early club members were members of the Finnish immigrant community, who had belonged to various clubs in their homeland and wanted to recreate a sense of community in their new home. The Canadian Finnish Club, as it was initially named, was founded in 1953.
In the early 1960s, the club name changed to Soo Finnish Club. The Soo Finnish Nordic Ski Club was incorporated in March, 1991.
Over the years, the club has hosted many major competitions including Canada Cup, World Junior selection races, North American Cup, Provincial Championships Ontario Cup races and interdivisional races. Highlights have included the Canadian Senior Championships in 1970 and 1978 and the Canadian Masters Championships in 1983 and 1987. All of these races would not have been possible without the work of many local volunteers.
The club’s volunteers are active in building and maintaining the 35-kilometer trail system at Hiawatha Highlands. The club continues to operate with the support of many parent volunteers who want to instill a love of skiing in their children and supports a competitive race team, a Special Olympics training program, as well as recreational skiing. | 2019-04-26T10:07:05Z | http://soofinnishnordic.com/?page_id=20 |

So why not adding a bit of glamour, drama, historical elements or wit into our everyday look, no matter if summer or winter? Why not rejecting the recently popular Normcore trend (the trend to fit in rather than to stand out from the crowd) and celebrate the individuality also by our appearance? Try it and I bet you will feel good about it.
Wish you all a good week even if it might be just an ordinary (autumnal) one….
PS: The pictures were taken on an ordinary summer day in front of the home of friends in a Calabrian village last August as well as during a picnic in the park of Schlosshotel Kronberg near Frankfurt.

A heavy ball is attached to a string and swung in a circular path in a horizontal plane as shown in the animation. At the point indicated the string suddenly breaks at the ball. Four animations represent possible results when the string breaks at point P.
Which of the four animations properly represents the path of the ball if the string breaks at point P?
Reference: See Giancoli-PA: 5-1, Giancoli-SE: 3-8.
Answer: Animation B, the ball moves tangent to the circle at point P (not shown). This problem is an excellent warm up for the discussion of uniform circular motion. Students often have a hard time with the cause of uniform circular motion. Here, the string is the cause of the ball's acceleration towards the center of the circle. In fact, without it, there is no longer an acceleration and the ball continues at a constant velocity which is tangent to the circle at point P. Students will often laugh at animations such as Animation D, even though they will answer this question incorrectly (choosing this answer) on the FCI. | 2019-04-21T22:17:09Z | https://webphysics.davidson.edu/physletprob/ch7_in_class/in_class7_1/mechanics7_1_2.html |

Seabees from Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 7 and members of the U.S. Army Alpha Company, 427th Brigade Support Battalion, stand in formation during a transfer ceremony at Camp Moreell, Southwest Asia, May 23. Seabees operated Camp Moreell, named for Adm. Ben Moreell, “Father of the Seabees,” for almost 10 years as the main Seabee ground base and assembly point for many Sailors who deployed across Southwest Asia before transferring responsibilities to the Army.
The primary hub for Seabee deployments to and from Iraq and Afghanistan was closed during a ceremony held on Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, May 23.
For 10 years, Camp Moreell served as the main Seabee ground base and assembly point for all ‘Bees and many Sailors who deployed across Southwest Asia, supporting Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation New Dawn.
Cmdr. Matthew Motsko, officer-in-charge, 25th Naval Construction Regiment (NCR) Forward, said Camp Moreell was a mainstay for all Seabees who prosecuted the multiple operations over the past 10 years.
Lt. Cmdr. Sean Dalton (far right) and Chief Petty Officer Andre Sanders lead the formation for Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 7 as they pay respects to fallen Seabees during a transfer ceremony at Camp Moreell, Southwest Asia, May 23.“The camp was the first stop for Seabees, where we acclimatized to the cold desert air in winter and the heat of summer,” said Capt. Darius Banaji, 25th NCR Commander. “It was where we recounted our deployments and went through a transition period before heading home to our families."
Named after Adm. Ben Moreell, the former commander of the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps and the founding father of the Seabees, the camp supported 55,000 Seabees during 39 NMCB deployments and 20 NCR deployments.
Master Chief Constructionman Rodney Gardner, 25th NCR Command Master Chief, said the camp went through some major changes over the years.
“The first time I went through [Camp Moreell] back in 2002, it was nothing but tents with plywood floors,” he said. The showers were so far away that you would be covered in dust by the time you got to your tent.
For Motsko, the Camp’s legacy will live on even after it closes.
(From left) Master Chief Petty Officer Charles Boris and Cmdr. Matthew Motsko prepare to furl the colors of Naval Mobile Construction Battalion (NMCB) 7 as Lt. Cmdr. Sean Dalton salutes during a transfer ceremony at Camp Moreell, Southwest Asia, May 23.While Camp Moreell is now closed for the Seabees, its importance to the mission has not changed. The U.S. Army’s Alpha Company, 427th Brigade Support Battalion is keeping the name intact in honor of the men and women who built and maintained it for the past 10 years.
“We will honor the namesake of [Camp Moreell] and respect what it means to your storied and proud heritage,” U.S. Army Col. Robert Cheatham Jr., commander, Area Support Group – Kuwait, said during the transfer ceremony.
Col. Cheatham also thanked the Seabees for building, maintaining and preparing the camp so that it could continue to support troops coming through Kuwait.
“We are humbled the Army and future tenants will keep the namesake of Camp Moreell,” Banaji said.
At the beginning of the transfer ceremony, Master Chief Equipmentman Charles Boris read the names of 20 fallen Seabees who all passed through Camp Moreell between 2003 and 2011.
“It was important, even imperative, to remember that all gave some, but some gave all, and some paid the ultimate sacrifice during operations over the past 10 years,” Motsko said. | 2019-04-19T13:13:10Z | https://seabeemagazine.navylive.dodlive.mil/2012/06/22/a-seabee-chapter-closes-camp-moreell-transfers-to-army/ |

Here's a sample of some of the works we have completed and the Clients we have worked for.
After twenty years of service, the existing compact florescent light fittings serving communal areas required replacement. Discoloured and opaque diffusers were causing reduced lux levels, and detracting from the building aesthetics. Proposals were submitted to our Client to replace the existing light fittings with LED type. The selling point of the project was fully quantifiable energy and cost savings, calculated on electricity used, and the current tariff per Kilowatt hour. Further cost savings continue to be made, as there is no ongoing maintenance requirement for replacement lamps and switchgear.

India’s second largest earthen dam and an incredibly beautiful lake created by the dam, nestled among thickly forested hillocks, worth a trip.
October to March is the best time to visit Mukutmanipur.
A guided cycling tour is the best way to go exploring on land while a boat ride on the sprawling lake is ideal way to explore the nearby islands. Rock climbing, trekking, fishing are adventures offered by the undulating environs surrounding the village. About 2 kms from the lake is the Bangopalpur Reserve Forest, a home to many species of flora and fauna. There is also a deer park by the side of the water reservoir. The island of Banpukuria Mrigadab, teeming with Mahua, Kendu and Palash trees, is a must-see. A round boat trip to Banpukuria Mrigadab and back takes around four hours. The village also presents great opportunities to delve into the rich folk culture and interesting craftsmanship. Song, dance and festivity are integral part of the lifestyle of the Santal and Munda tribal folk. Tourists have an opportunity to appreciate and learn about the craft, culture and heritage of the host community. | 2019-04-24T06:39:43Z | http://bengalweekend.com/tourist.php?plc_id=19 |

Almost everyone knows walking is the easiest way to get a little exercise. All you have to do is grab a pair of comfortable shoes, pick a direction, and go. Most people, however, don’t realize just how beneficial walking can be, especially for women. A recent study of over 73,000 postmenopausal women has shown that walking can lead to a decreased risk of breast cancer. In fact, that study states that one hour of walking per day led to a 14% reduced risk, and one hour of strenuous physical activity was associated with a 25% reduced risk.
Finding ways to exercise might be difficult for women who lead sedentary lifestyles. Acquire a comfortable pair of walking shoes, and be creative in finding ways to fit walking into your day. One way to include walking would be to park farther away when grocery shopping. Another way would be to walk with young children or small dogs. An innovative idea would be to purchase a treadmill desk for use in the home while using the computer. Many people also invite friends to walk with them instead of walking alone. This helps to increase motivation and creates a great support structure for all the people involved.
Walking about three miles per hour, or a 20 minute mile, is an easy speed for reducing the risk of breast cancer by 14%. To increase that percentage to 25, light jogging at four and a half miles per hour is sufficient. In the United States, about one in eight women will develop the disease in their lifetime. Those statistics should encourage women to exercise just to lower their risk. Breast cancer risk is related to a lifetime of estrogen exposure, and as a woman ages, the estrogen levels will continue to increase if a regular exercise program is not maintained. | 2019-04-23T10:15:56Z | http://www.sjrnews.com/bookmark/23936989/blog+entry-Walking+Decreases+Breast+Cancer+Risk+in+Women |

The parenting journey just like any other relationship has its ups and downs. Throw twins who haven’t fully developed communication skills (the toddler years) into the mix and it’s enough to make you feel crazy most days!
I work full time and my mom cares for the twins during the work week (I’m blessed to have her!) – so I typically only spend a couple hours with the twins each day and then we have the weekends together. Unfortunately, the weekend is also when I catch up on chores and other errands so my time and attention is not always there for the girls.
Because they are at the age where they are now exploring, testing boundaries, fighting and just trying to do it all, the day can quickly go downhill when I have other tasks to complete (even worse if I have to leave the house with them in tow).
I try to practice mindfulness and patience with the girls when it all seems to get out of control. There must be a way to enjoy this time with my twins and not feel so overwhelmed all the time!
When you start to feel like you can’t do this anymore, take a moment (hiding out in the bathroom is acceptable), take your phone/tablet out and find those pictures of the twins when they were little babies, when life was ‘easier’.
Allow yourself to soak up the memories and gush over how cute they were. I guarantee in no time your mood will be lifted and a smile will be tugging at the corners of your lips.
Now, doesn’t that bring a smile to your face? If you aren’t smiling right now it means you didn’t do what I asked and you should go and do it, even if it’s just 3 or 4 pics from last week.
Sometimes a complete melt-down comes out of nowhere, especially with toddlers, but the majority of other times when the twins are throwing a tantrum, fighting or just being ‘clingy’ is usually when you have things to do or need to give your attention to another task.
Your babies up to toddler years need a lot of attention and engagement to feel secure. Add another sibling who is demanding exactly the same thing at the same time and it becomes rough on a mother of twins.
If you notice that they are getting to their breaking point and you have not spent any QUALITY time with them up to that point just take a break and jump into an activity with them. Get down on the floor and really play with them or turn the music up and have a mini dance party.
Most times whatever you are doing can wait another 10 or 15 minutes. Plus, if you truly give them your attention and immerse yourself into whatever activity they are doing your mood may just get better too!
Parenting isn’t hard it is just a tedious role and the sooner you stop comparing your journey to the seemingly perfect twin mom on Instagram or Pinterest is the sooner you will start to feel less anxious and more in control.
If your first babies are twins you may still be subconsciously holding on to the image in your head of being that mom who seems to be able to do it all, including going out and about at any time with her baby in tow. But when you have twins you have to be able to tune that out and accept that raising twins is going to mostly feel like a circus act and that’s fine.
You can change your perspective. You were destined to become a mother of twins, you are strong enough to bear it and your twins will turn out just fine (great, even!). You are doing your best and this time with your twins passes by too quickly. Embrace the chaos and enjoy this moment with your twins, don’t wish it away for ‘better’ days.
When the going gets really tough it sometimes helps to take a mental break. Take a few (or a lot) of deep breaths, the increased oxygen to your brain will reduce your tension and anxiety level. You can do this anywhere you are and as many times as you need throughout the day.
By stating what you want to be true in your life as a parent, you mentally and emotionally see and feel it as true, regardless of your current circumstances, and thereby attract it into your life.
For some (maybe most) twin moms it can be very isolating when your twins arrive and you feel like you have no one to talk to that understands what you are going through, or others downplay your experiences as just something every mom goes through.
It’s easy to respond by withdrawing from family and friends and throw all your energy into caring for your family and shut yourself off from others, but it’s just so hard to do this alone!
I read an article from the today’s parent website on how to ask for help. It shares some really great tips such as putting a list of chores you need help with on the refrigerator, when to say ‘No’ and when to say ‘Yes’ to help and a few other tips.
If you don’t want to deal with asking family and friends for help you could consider paying for assistance now and then to make some time for yourself or just to give the twins your undivided attention (do something fun for all of you). Care.com is a great place to access help with the kids, housework, elderly family members, and errands. It’s free to join and you can have a look at what kind of help is available near to where you live. Then you can use their services when you really need it.
If you regularly practice even just one of those 5 tips above I am certain you will feel better about your role on this journey of raising twins.
Just writing this out to share with you has helped me tremendously, so I know it could help another mom. Please share with at least one other twin mom, it may just be what she needs to hear right now.
You’re welcome Melissa! Which ones do you do – any other tip you would add? | 2019-04-26T10:58:28Z | http://twinmomtales.com/5-ways-cope-in-trenches-with-twins/ |
There’s nothing Farro loves more than NZ imagined, delicious tasting, local food! Luckily Dr. Feel Good pops cater to all of our requirements here at Farro Fresh.
The idea, born out of trying to inject nutrition into some young fussy eaters that Auckland based founder Craig Jackson happened to live with, quickly turned into a frozen treat that friends and visitors to his home dubbed ‘the best pops they ever tasted’. With his core values that; his pops needed to have no refined sugar; and that the ingredients within the pops had to have ‘food value’, there he had created his guidelines from which to invent, test and come up with astonishing flavour combinations, and not too long later, Dr. Feel Good was born.
Since their market release in the beginning of 2015, Dr. Feel Good has seen a large and ever expanding growth throughout New Zealand. Amazing and tasty handcrafted frozen pops are made from New Zealand organic dairy and have no refined sugar, gluten, preservatives or colouring – but with so much real flavour shining through, it’s hard to imagine why anyone would need to add those things!
Currently holding six ridiculously good flavours in all of our Farro Fresh stores; chocoholic cacao and cream, raspberry, lime and coconut; flat white coffee and cream; salted caramel and apple; lemon, manuka honey and ginger; granny smith, lime and mint, all can be enjoyed without the guilt that ensues from some of our other frozen treat choices. Luckily, these pops are not just for those hot summer months, though they are exceptional then too, but the different flavours and the properties within each, means that these are a great treat, year round.
With the swift popularity and success of their 6 original flavours, Dr Feel Good have decided to give us something more, something with equally as delicious flavour, but with some extra and alternate benefits. We introduce to you – Protein pops! These protein pops have an astounding 20g of protein in each pop, which is the equivalent to 5 egg whites. This makes it super tempting to have one of these for breakfast instead of your omelette – though surely not the intended purpose, temptation is still paramount here.
In four new flavours; banana and cinnamon; Vietnamese iced coffee; chocolate and mint; and vanilla toffee, they really do have an option for all taste preferences. These protein pops are ever as refreshing and delicious as the original pops and still with organic New Zealand dairy and all the natural and untampered ingredients that they are known and respected for. Having sampled all 4 of these new flavours, on a few different occasions – we can safely recommend these new treats as a perfect afternoon treat to keep you full and productive for that little bit longer, or even after an evening gym session, to give you that protein kick to aid muscle growth. Additionally, they are great for that injection of protein to an elderly diet or to children after school, “or whenever”- a tasty and easy to eat healthy treat that is genuinely right for everyone!
Now available through all of Farro Fresh stores, why not pick some up and give them a try. Let us know your opinion, your favourite flavour and when you like to eat them. We hope, so much, that you enjoy them as much as we do! | 2019-04-19T07:31:04Z | https://www.farrofresh.co.nz/news/dr-feel-good/ |

DURING SUMMER VACATION my boyfriend and I stayed in Budapest, Hungary, for a week. While looking for cities to visit nearby we realized Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, was only a two-hour drive away. We took the M1 motorway early in the morning and, without any rush, reached Bratislava by 9:30 a.m.
I had Googled tips for visiting the city and found out that, right as one drives off the motorway toward the Aupark Shopping Center, free parking is available in a medium-sized parking lot next to the mall. In case there aren’t any open spots, you can also park in the mall’s parking lot for free, for a maximum of three hours—after which the parking fee is too high, in my opinion.
Set on the banks of the Danube, the city of Bratislava is beautiful. We started our visit by walking the Most Slovenského národného povstania (English: Bridge of the Slovak National Uprising), commonly referred to as Most SNP. We took the bridge across the Danube and right to old town.
Later, I found out that the flying saucer-shaped structure on top of the bridge’s support pylon, appropriately named “UFO,” houses a restaurant.
Even though, unfortunately, a significant section of Old Town below Bratislava Castle (which included nearly all of the Jewish quarter) was demolished to create the roadway that leads to the bridge, there were still so many things to take in. I took pictures nearly every step of the way!
The pedestrian-only, 18th-century Staré Mesto (English: Old Town) is filled with lively bars, restaurants, cafes, many churches, museums, statues, and lots of souvenir stands and shops.
Tourists can choose to go on city tours, some of which are provided in cute little sightseeing buses.
We walked around the small streets, taking note of how close together different architectural styles have been built—some of the buildings seem to almost stand on top of each other.
Human-sized statues add a modern touch to the city’s historical center. Most intriguing to me was Čumil (English: The Watcher), who attracts tourists passing at the junction of Laurinská and Panská Streets. He is possibly the most photographed statue of Bratislava since his placement there in 1997.
We bought some souvenirs and tried to learn (then, unfortunately, promptly forgot) how to say “Hello”, “Goodbye” and “Thank you” in Slovak, before heading back to the mall to see if a spot opened up in the free parking lot. Luckily, it had, so we moved the car and then walked across the bridge again, going left this time toward the castle.
Bratislavský hrad (English: Bratislava Castle) is beautifully restored. The first stone castle built there was during the 10th century, when the area was part of the Kingdom of Hungary. After it burned down in 1811 and gradually deteriorated, its last reconstruction started in 2008. In 2010 the Honorary Courtyard of Bratislava Castle was also completed.
The castle now houses the Slovak National Museum and presentation rooms for the National Council of the Slovak Republic and for the president.
A visit inside the museum would’ve been too long for us to squeeze into that day-trip, but we walked around its grounds, garden and park.
The most beautiful view of the city can be admired from the castle’s plateau, no matter which way one looks. This is where the mash-up of 18th-19th century palaces, mansions and churches, grandiose 20th century communist flats and buildings, and 21st century modern malls and office buildings is most noticeable.
When we started feeling tired, we headed towards Old Town via a different route. We made our way back to Hviezdoslavovo námestie (English: Hviezdoslav Square), to an Asian restaurant we’d seen during our earlier walk to grab a very late lunch. If you visit Bratislava, I highly recommend checking out Restaurant Mr. Dou. I can safely say it was the best Asian food I’ve had so far.
One thing to prepare yourself for: While people are very friendly, not many of them will speak English outside of touristy areas. Slovakia is not yet overrun by tourists, so this is somehow to be expected. In small shops, feel free to give German, Hungarian or Russian a try if you speak any of these languages.
After lunch, we saw some of the city’s new, modern buildings erected in a construction boom at the start of the 21st century, near the Eurovea shopping area.
As we neared Most Apollo (English: Apollo Bridge), we decided to sit for a while, rest, and then finish our self-paced tour of the city with a long stroll along the Danube.
At 6:30 we left the free parking lot and Bratislava behind, heading back to our Hungarian adventure. Bratislava as a day trip did not disappoint!
Thanks, it was a packed day, but really fun!
How cool that you got to experience Bratislava while living there. A year and a half sounds like even more fun than just the one day! | 2019-04-21T02:47:35Z | https://milliverstravels.com/2017/04/what-to-see-on-a-day-trip-to-bratislava/?replytocom=25895 |

Although it is required of attorneys to maintain client confidentiality at all times, it is prudent for clients, especially corporate clients, to examine a law firm’s data security practices before hiring them. Karsof™ Integrated Network Security System can insure the level of security needed to keep your important legal information safe, for both you and your attorney.
Law firms are required to implement specific data security practices and they must ensure that all staff and personnel understand and adhere to such procedures. This usually involved password protection and other forms of penetrable encryptions. Even with every protection, these methods are not only penetrable, but they’re outdated technology worthy of being backup, not your main security. Karsof™ Integrated Network Security System is a more secure way to protect yourself and your sensitive legal documents.
Law firms need to have distinct rules in order to protect employee to employee document transfers, but most importantly, for arbitration and litigation transfers.
Law firms, as well as their corporate clients who may be sharing confidential information, should have a system in place that provides such support regarding confidentiality and takes the utmost precautions to protect transmitted information. Karsof Systems provides that level of security; it offers an integrated network system that unequivocally protects and secures your documents.
Undoubtedly, having rules and a system that protects a firm’s document storage, and retention procedures are very important. However, the eventual destruction of those documents is equally as important. Karsof Systems ensured the secure destruction of documents with its patented Integrated Network Security System technology.
Many states have laws that require firms to retain documents for a certain number of years, but digital document disposal isn’t as easy as shredding the hard copies of the past. And although digital documents do solve the problem of space, it does pose the problem of eventually needing to destroy a digital document. This is never an issue with Karsof Systems; they ensure only authorized personnel are able to access and fully destroy documents when necessary. | 2019-04-24T04:02:08Z | http://www.techwacky.com/2015/02/11/why-law-firms-need-karsof-data-security/ |

How can creative thinking help advance sustainable development goals in the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar?
Buffalo State’s International Center for Studies in Creativity and School of Education—with support from the International Education Office and the Civic and Community Engagement Office—intend to help find an answer to that question.
This summer, the college is sponsoring a three-week service-learning course that will immerse students and members of the alumni community in a unique cultural and hands-on experience in Yangon and Naypyitaw, Myanmar. The course, slated for June 29 to July 18, is the college’s first foray into building long-term working relationships in Myanmar, formerly known as Burma.
Led by John Cabra (pictured at right), associate professor of creative studies at Buffalo State, and Myo Thant, '05, executive director of the Institute of Myanmar United, the course is designed to help the people of Myanmar become more confident in their creative thinking so that they can address the physical, social, and economic challenges facing their country today and in the future.
Ultimately, as part of its commitment to community and global engagement, Buffalo State aims to provide vital assistance in the development of K–12 and higher education, civic life, the economy, and environmental practices in Myanmar.
The students and alumni are collaborating on projects with the Dha Maw Da Monastery School for students in grades 1-8, the Free Funeral Services Society (FFSS), one of the country’s leading nonprofit organizations, which also provides healthcare, ambulatory service, organic food farming, and educational programs, and the Joint Public Accounts Committee of the Myanmar Parliament (JPAC).
Other partners include the U.S. Embassy in Yangon, the Asia Foundation, the National League for Democracy Education Network, the Myanmar Ministry of Education, and the Renaissance Institute, a policy institute in Myanmar that focuses on economic reform initiatives.
Buffalo State participants on the trip will engage in service learning assignments involving teaching and observing in schools, addressing social issues at a nonprofit hospital, and promoting entrepreneurial activity in a city district of Yangon; collaborating creatively with local lawmakers to support potential policy development; delivering workshops that involve government budgeting and developing a transparent and participatory budget process that incorporates creative problem solving to support good governance principles, effective budgeting, and programs that meets the citizens’ needs; and learning about Myanmar’s geography, culture, cuisine, industry, educational, and political systems.

I risk trivializing an essential biblical truth with the illustration above. But here’s the problem. We too frequently settle for “religion” rather than Jesus. We put our trust in religious activities and practices rather than the glorious triumph of Jesus on the cross. And it all has to do with how “clean” we are. Let me explain, assuming you have read our text for the week, Hebrews 9:1-10:18.
It is important to notice what the biblical writer was doing.
He begins the passage in Hebrews 9:1-10 by referring to what happened in the Jewish tabernacle. There were several pieces of “religious” furniture carefully arranged throughout. And most important, there was a second section known as the “most holy place.” The writer makes the point that only one person could enter the second section, namely the high priest. In fact, he could only go into the most holy place once a year.
Jesus has also sacrificed once-for-all, meaning that no other sacrifices are necessary in order for one to come before God. In fact, Jesus doesn’t have to come back to planet earth to sacrifice for sinners again and again.
Fill in your own “have-to’s.” Chances are you have gotten embroiled in religion rather than a relationship with Jesus. There is a better way. INSTEAD OF RELYING ON RELIGION, GOD WANTS US TO REST IN THE PERFECT SACRIFICE OF JESUS.
What does that mean? It means that if King Jesus is your Savior, then He has paid for ALL of your sins with FINALITY! And if you do anything—anything that might have spiritual overtones—do it as an act of worship towards our Lord. The good news is that in Jesus you are completely…CLEAN! Your cleansing is not partial. It’s 100%! Stop beating yourself up over how many times you’ve blown it. Stop thinking that something you do in or out of the church can cover your sins. ONLY JESUS can cleanse you completely. So rest in what Jesus has already done, rather than what you think…YOU…have to do. Rest and rely on the Savior—not religious activity. | 2019-04-20T00:52:33Z | http://www.caringforsouls.com/2013/08/totally-clean.html |
A Dubuque man is walking across Iowa — and back — to raise awareness about the state’s shortage of foster parents. Fifty-year-old Chris Barnett entered the foster care system at age 14 and has since devoted his life to the cause. For nearly three decades, he’s worked as an Iowa KidsNet foster care worker.
He’s already walked some 300 miles from Dubuque to Council Bluffs and is about to head back across Iowa, with stops planned in Ames, Marshalltown, and Waterloo. Barnett says he hopes his “Foot’n it for Foster Care” trek inspires Iowans to consider becoming foster parents. | 2019-04-26T16:39:21Z | https://www.radioiowa.com/2014/05/20/eastern-iowa-man-walks-to-raise-awareness-of-foster-parent-shortage/ |

For cozy walls, nothing feels as good as fabric. Fabric adds warmth and a unique cozy texture you can’t acquire from wallpaper or paint. The fabric is also great for covering imperfect walls and for sound dampening. Most homeowners use bright, elegant, unusual and protective materials to decorate their walls. Since it is fabric, cleaning is essential to maintain its gorgeous look. How?
Here are three common ways to clean a fabric wall covering.
Vacuum cleaning: Vacuuming is the most efficient way to sift your fabric covering. First, tie a wall brush to a vacuum. You may require a ladder depending on the wall brush extension height. It prevents you from damaging the walls. It is vital to start at the top and to clean a particular section at a time. If the wall brush rubs your fabric wallpaper, it may cause extensive damage.
Using a broom: Attach a microfiber cloth to a brush and swipe it gently sideways to clean dusty corners. Swipe your broom downwards without skipping any surface. If dust accumulates on your floor, sweep it thoroughly.
Dust with a cotton cloth: Use it to wipe your walls. Step on a ladder to clean high walls. Dust from the top to clear off any visible dirt. It is advisable to clean the cotton cloth regularly as a dirty cloth can blotch your fabric wall covering.
Dry cleaning involves vacuuming the affected part of your wall covering. Vacuum it downwards with smooth strokes. Do not rub your vacuum as it can damage your fabric wallpaper. Apply even pressure on the vacuum. It is recommended to swath the wallpaper sideways then downwards before moving to another section. It helps you track the areas that you have vacuumed.
After vacuuming a particular section, dry clean it with a chemical sponge severally. If you have a velvet fabric wall covering, it is wise to use many chemical sponges to prevent the wallpaper’s color from fading. Do not scrub it with the sponge vertically. It usually reduces the sponge’s efficiency and severely damages the wall covering. Instead, dry clean the affected part severally to remove soot.
Some people prefer wet cleaning their fabric wallpapers. A sponge cleaner is ideal for textured wallpapers. Slightly soak a massive sponge in a mild degreaser to clean the affected section. If the sponge is too wet, it might lift the wallpaper as you swipe it. Clean your wall covering with even strokes to remove dirt and stains effectively.
Experienced cleaners recommend testing a small portion of the wall covering to check if it will fade. In case it occurs, it is advisable to replace the wallpaper rather than wet cleaning it. Use a non-invasive technique if there are mild stains when starting. After clearing the residue, use a hydroxyl generator to get rid of foul odors. Typically, it takes up to 48 hours depending on the degree of damage on the wall covering.
High-quality fabric wall covering are expensive. As such, it is advisable to seek the services of fabric installation and cleaning experts. Call Embassy cleaners at (914) 834-5955 to speak with one. | 2019-04-19T08:24:28Z | https://embassycleaners.com/top-3-ways-to-clean-your-fabric-wall-covering/ |
Also via the Museum of Hoaxes blog - William Patry has an interesting story about a postal worker who was convicted for selling undelivered DVDs that the US Postal Service, on the instructions of the owners of the DVDs, had thrown away.
If you came across a trash can filled with lawfully made compact discs and DVDs that the copyright owner had authorized to be put in that trash can and then thrown away because it didn’t want to pay the postage to have them returned, do you think you could be criminally prosecuted for selling those copies, and would you think that the copyright owners would be entitled to restitution under the Mandatory Victims Restitution Act? If you answered no to these questions, you would be wrong according to the Eighth Circuit.
Here’s the opinion, United States v. Chalupnik, 2008 WL 268997 (8th Cir. Feb. 1, 2008), court’s docket no. 07-1355, available on the court of appeals’ website, here (search for Chalupnik).
The facts are pretty much these (at least as recited in the opinion): defendant was an employee for the U.S. Postal Service. BMG Columbia House is a mail order operation selling CDs and DVDs by mail. Many of these discs are undeliverable. Rather than pay the postage to have them returned to it, BMG Columbia House instructed the Postal Service to throw them away. The Postal Service did throw them away. Defendant then retrieved them from the trash and sold them to area stores, netting $78,818. A surveillance camera showed defendant retrieving the items and he was arrested; he was originally charged with felony mail theft, but then pleaded guilty to misdemeanor copyright infringement. The trial court sentenced defendant to two years probation and ordered him to pay $78,818 to BMG in restitution. Chalupnik appealed .
The district court’s theory was “I do believe that there is in fact a lost opportunity to ... BMG, that the people that bought those CD's ... would likely have bought new CD's, and that that represents a real and substantial loss to ... BMG in the amount of $78,818.” The government argued that “BMG is a victim because it owns the discs, sells them with permission of the copyright owners, and controls the disposition of undeliverable discs; that each time Chalupnik sold an undeliverable disc, the artist lost a royalty and BMG lost a potential sale; and that the amount of those losses is conservatively estimated by Chalupnik's gross revenues, $78,818.
Among the many things I find amazing in this whole debacle is the assumption that there could be copyright infringement. The copies had been thrown away at the direction of the BMG Columbia House (which may or may not have also been the copyright owner). I would think that means any ownership in the copies had been abandoned and that therefore anyone was free to do with them what they wanted. If instead of the postal worker having taken them out of the trash, what if the trash dump owner had discovered them and sold them?"
Wonderful story at the Museum of Hoaxes about the perils of paper voting. 20 Chicago voters were allegedly told that the touchscreen voting styluses that they had been given to mark their paper ballots were pens that used invisible ink.
William Heath thinks people should read the text of the speech that Rowan Williams has been so heavily critcised over because he is prepared to talk in public about difficult subjects and with a deep understanding of the complexities of the real world.
People diss Rowan Williams but he spelt out years ago why customer was such an unsatisfactory term for the active participant in “services” such as health or education.
The danger arises not only when there is an assumption on the religious side that membership of the community (belonging to the umma or the Church or whatever) is the only significant category, so that participation in other kinds of socio-political arrangement is a kind of betrayal. It also occurs when secular government assumes a monopoly in terms of defining public and political identity. There is a position – not at all unfamiliar in contemporary discussion – which says that to be a citizen is essentially and simply to be under the rule of the uniform law of a sovereign state, in such a way that any other relations, commitments or protocols of behaviour belong exclusively to the realm of the private and of individual choice. As I have maintained in several other contexts, this is a very unsatisfactory account of political reality in modern societies; but it is also a problematic basis for thinking of the legal category of citizenship and the nature of human interdependence.
Go Beardie! I’m wholly unrepentant in my long-held view that he would make the best possible keynote speaker for a major gathering of the public-sector “transformation” community. Tell me: who else in any position of authority is articulate at this level, and thinks it’s important to work from basic principles and beliefs as we re-engineer and codify the relationship between people and they state? Not over[paid Touche Accentroid Young, nor dazed and confused Sir Bonar and Sir Wally, nor the egomanic great clunking fist.
We can’t even broach this conversation in the public media without the Sun screaming treason and some Kirsty or Johannes Humphrissimus Maximus Interromptor interrupting everyone half way through their first sentence. It is, to quote a phrase, far from ideal."
The ever excellent ARCH blog points me to a wonderful speech on the rule of law given by Lord Bingham in 2006. His thoughts on the tension between the government and the judiciary are spot on as you might expect.
"ministers and public officers at all levels must exercise the powers conferred on them reasonably, in good faith, for the purpose for which the powers were conferred and without exceeding the limits of such powers... The historic role of the courts has of course been to check excesses of executive power, a role greatly expanded in recent years due to the increased complexity of government and the greater willingness of the public to challenge governmental (in the broadest sense) decisions. Even under our constitution the separation of powers is crucial in guaranteeing the integrity of the courts' performance of this role.
"There is considerably less to be proud about, and a good deal to be embarrassed about, when one reflects on the shabby treatment civil liberties have received in the United States during times of war and perceived threats to national security … After each perceived security crisis ended, the United States has remorsefully realized that the abrogation of civil liberties was unnecessary. But it has proven unable to prevent itself from repeating the error when the next crisis came along.""
Verizon executive vice president for public affairs, Tom Tauke, in an interview with the NYT, rejects the movie industry's call for telecos and ISPs to act as copyright police.
Anything we do has to balance the need of copyright protection with the desire of customers for privacy."
Our wealth sits upon a very large device that copies promiscuously and constantly.
Yet the previous round of wealth in this economy was built on selling precious copies, so the free flow of free copies tends to undermine the established order. If reproductions of our best efforts are free, how can we keep going? To put it simply, how does one make money selling free copies?
When copies are super abundant, stuff which can't be copied becomes scarce and valuable.
When copies are free, you need to sell things which can not be copied.
Well, what can't be copied?
From my study of the network economy I see roughly eight categories of intangible value that we buy when we pay for something that could be free.
In a real sense, these are eight things that are better than free. Eight uncopyable values. I call them "generatives." A generative value is a quality or attribute that must be generated, grown, cultivated, nurtured. A generative thing can not be copied, cloned, faked, replicated, counterfeited, or reproduced. It is generated uniquely, in place, over time. In the digital arena, generative qualities add value to free copies, and therefore are something that can be sold."
His "generatives", btw, are immediacy, patronage, findability, authenticity, personalization, interpretation and embodiment.
Kembrew McLeod and Benjamin Franzen's 10 minute documentary Copyright Criminals is available on YouTube.
"Cleveland police have extended the bail granted to the former administrator of an alleged music piracy site for a second time, in a bid to collect more evidence for a case that could mark a watershed for UK internet law.
Alan Ellis, a 24-year-old IT worker from Middlesbrough, was arrested in October on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and copyright infringement offences, over his site OiNK's Pink Palace.
Since his arrest, Ellis has publicly argued that OiNK merely provided a Google-like indexing service, and cannot be held accountable for the actual music files that the trackers poined to. It's the same defence that's set to be used by the administrators of the Swedish BitTorrent tracker Pirate Bay in their upcoming trial.
If a copyright prosecution is ever brought against Ellis, it would be a test case for a 2003 amendment to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act that states a criminal offence may be committed by a person who "distributes otherwise than in the course of a business so as to affect prejudicially the honour or reputation of the author or director"."
"A computer program comprising computer program code adapted, when said program is loaded onto a computer, to make the computer execute the procedure of claim 1".
There is nothing wrong with this, according to Kitchin J in Astron Clinica and the new practice notice, so one of the IPKat's amenuenses will be putting exactly this form of claim to a UK examiner in the near future, in the expectation of it being allowed. After all, we should be looking at the invention as a matter of substance, not the form in which it is claimed. Can anyone see the reason why this claim would not be allowed at the EPO? The IPKat suspects he can, but would like others to first point out why he is wrong, yet again, on the subject."
Keep a close eye on IPKat to see how the proposed claim is received.

I’ve read that paragraph before. But not in the Lessig transcript. It comes from this Andrew Sullivan article in The Atlantic.
So I want you to shut your eyes and imagine what it will seem like to a young man in Iraq or in Iran, who wakes up on January 21st, 2009, and sees the picture of this man as the president of the United States. A man who opposed the war at the beginning, a man who worked his way up from almost nothing, a man who came from a mother and a father of mixed cultures and mixed societies, who came from a broken home to overcome all of that to become the leader in his class, at the Harvard Law Review, and an extraordinary success as a politician. How can they see us when they see us as having chosen this man as our president?
Was Lessig’s paragraph influenced by Sullivan’s, which it’s reasonable to suppose he has read? My guess is that it was. If so, was the influence conscious or unconscious? My guess: unconscious.
Creative property, Lessig reminds us, has many lives — the newspaper arrives at our door, it becomes part of the archive of human knowledge, then it wraps fish. And, by the time ideas pass into their third and fourth lives, we lose track of where they came from, and we lose control of where they are going.
But the fact that all these connections are traceable is a wonderful thing."
Jonathan Z. has a lovely analysis of the TiVo V Echostar decision last week.
TiVo introduced the first digital video recorder (DVR) in 1998. It allowed consumers to record and time-shift TV shows. After withstanding several claims that the TiVo DVR infringed other companies’ patents because it offered its users on-screen programming guides, the hunted became the hunter. In 2004, TiVo sued satellite TV distributor EchoStar for infringing TiVo’s own patents6 by building DVR functionality into some of EchoStar’s dish systems.
Defendants are hereby . . . to, within thirty (30) days of the issuance of this order, disable the DVR functionality (i.e., disable all storage to and playback from a hard disk drive of television data) in all but 192,708 units of the Infringing Products that have been placed with an end user or subscriber.
That is, the court ordered EchoStar to kill the DVR functionality in products already owned by “end users”: millions of boxes which were already sitting in living rooms around the world with owners who might be using them at that very instant. Imagine sitting down to watch television on an EchoStar box, and instead finding that all your recorded shows had been zapped, along with the DVR functionality itself—killed by remote signal traceable to the stroke of a judge’s quill in Marshall, Texas.
With EchoStar’s lost appeal, that moment is now closer.
TiVo v. EchoStar and PlayMedia v. AOL broach the strange and troubling issues that arise from the curious technological hybrids that increasingly populate the digital world. These hybrids mate the simplicity and reliability of television- like appliances with the privileged power of the vendor to reprogram those appliances over a network.
From what I can tell, the stay pending appeal is now dissolved — which would mean that the 30-day clock is ticking towards hundreds of thousands of fried EchoStar boxes in people’s homes."
Ben Bederson, an associate professor at the Human-Computer Interaction Lab at the University of Maryland, was part of a team that conducted a five-year study on voting-machine technology. Bederson says that machines should be evaluated for qualities beyond security, including usability, reliability, accessibility, and ease of maintenance. For example, in a 2006 Florida congressional election, some voters were uncertain whether touch-screen machines had properly recorded their votes, especially after 18,000 ballots in Sarasota County were marked "No vote" by the machines. "Security, while important, happens to be one of those places where voting machines actually have not proven to fail," Bederson says. "However, in many other ways, they have failed dramatically, especially [regarding] usability. The original Florida problem was primarily a usability issue." (Among the problems in Florida in 2000 was the case of Palm Beach County, where some voters were confused by a ballot design that listed candidates in two columns. The confounding layout led some people to mistakenly vote for Patrick Buchanan when they intended to vote for Al Gore.) Bederson's team, which included researchers from the University of Maryland, the University of Rochester, and the University of Michigan, particularly focused on usability, and they evaluated electronic voting systems built by Diebold, Election Systems and Software, Avante Voting Systems, Hart InterCivic, and Nedap Election Systems, as well as one prototype built by Bederson himself.
See the original article in MIT's Technology Review for links to the study.
"A kidney transplant patient was forced to have the new organ removed after just a few hours – when it was discovered that the patient's blood type had been incorrectly recorded on a computer database.
The mistake, believed to be the first of its kind in Britain, would have led to the organ being rejected – with possibly fatal consequences."
WTO remedies fall short of what one might ask of an effective legal system. First, there is no compensation for past harm or loss. Second, compensation in the form of enhanced market access depends on the consent of the party that violated the rules; and, in any event, some WTO members do not have the capacity to use the compensatory enhanced market access. Third, retaliation is not optimal: WTO arbitrators have previously recognized that a member may find itself in a situation where it is neither realistic nor possible for it to retaliate for the full amount of the level of nullification and impairment in all of the sectors and/or under all agreements. Furthermore, as noted in Brendan McGivern’s commentary on the dispute, retaliation under the TRIPs Agreement is especially difficult for a number of reasons. One, regardless of the legality of the authorization from the WTO, violation of intellectual property rights might be frowned upon by other WTO members and the international community generally. Two, for some products, it might not be easy to act against the TRIPs rights of US rights holders without affecting the TRIPs rights of nationals of other WTO members. Three, given the absence of rules on valuation of suspension of intellectual property rights, it would be difficult to ensure that the retaliation does not exceed the authorized amount."
SpyBlog has a few things to say about the responses by the Border & Immigration Agency to Tom Griffin's FOIA request. Spyblog feels the data collection is excessive and dangerous.
Therefore these checks will also have to be applied, effectively, to internal travel within the supposedly United Kingdom, by aeroplane or by ferry, between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK.
If they are allowed to get away with this, Soviet / Apartheid style internal travel bureaucracy, they try it on all other international travel and function creep and extend it to internal flights or trains or ferries in the entire UK.
We have no problem with the Police or intelligence agencies requesting such information for specific, narrowly targeted terrorist, espionage or drug or smuggling etc. investigations.
It is absolutely intolerable that such data is handed over, routinely, and automatically, in bulk, on the millions of innocent people who travel every year. Data Trawling through millions of innocent people's personal records is an expensive, ineffective and dangerous way of trying to protect our borders, and an unjustifiable abuse of our freedoms and liberties.
"Rambus ensnared memory chip manufacturers in a "patent trap" in its attempt to "control the industry," a lawyer for Hynix Semiconductor told a jury in San Jose on Monday.
William Price, representing Hynix, the world's second-largest maker of memory chips, told jurors that in the 1990s Rambus participated in standards-setting meetings of the Joint Electron Device Engineering Council and then secretly and illegally used JEDEC information to patent standards for dynamic random access memory, or DRAM.
Rambus gathered information from JEDEC as the chip makers spent millions adopting the standard and building plants to manufacture the chips, Price said. "At that point Rambus would come forward and say, 'Aha! We own the technology on that standard,' " he told jurors. "That activity is called a patent trap."
Hynix made its opening arguments in the final trial of the seven-year patent infringement lawsuit."
Kim Cameron likes the idea of an information half life that flows naturally from his coining of the term identity Chernobyl to describe the HMRC 25 million data loss.
The notion of information half-life is a great one. Let’s adopt it.
The tendency for “information to merge” is one of the defining transformations of our time. When it comes to understanding what this means, few think forward, or even realize that there “is a forward”.
The “contextual separation” in our lives has been central to our personalities and social structures for many centuries.
Call me conservative, but we need to retain this separation.
The mobility and clonability of digital information, in combination with commercial interest and naivite, lead us toward a vast sea of personal information intermixed with our most intimate and tentative thoughts.
The essence of free-thinking is to be able to think things you don’t believe as part of the process of grasping the truth. If the mind melts into the computer, and the computer melts into a rigid warehouse of indelible data, how easy is it for us to change, and what is left of the mind that is “transcendental” (or even just unfettered…)?
The ramifications of this boggle the mind. The alienation it would cause, and the undermining of institutions it would bring about, concern me as much as any other threat to our civilization.
Jon Udell raises an interesting issue on the degree to which conversations about a particular scientific topic can progress independently of each other in ghettoised specialist communities, communities who could enlighten each other if only they managed to communicate.
Here’s one approach that could help. When the citation engines in the blogosphere find references in blog entries to scientific articles on the web, they could resolve those to their most canonical forms: DOIs, PubMed records. And they could make equivalences among those forms. That way, conversation in the blogosophere about a scientific article, and scientific conversation about the same article, would tend to hang together and would be discoverable in the same contexts.
Why does this matter? Well, the marginalrevolution blog is influential, widely cited in the blogosphere. The entry that cited the PLoS Medicine article was itself widely cited. But the PLoS Medicine reaction to the article is not part of the blog conversation. I had to work really hard to find it, and to include it here.
The conversation-tracking tools used by bloggers should discover scientific discourse related to a scientific article as easily as they discover blog discourse. Conversely, the conversation-tracking tools used by scientists should discover blog discourse as readily as scientific discourse. Public understanding of science would improve, and so would scientific understanding of the public.
Update: No sooner said than done.
The CDT has branded regulations issued by the Department of Homeland Security relating to the Real ID act as the "worst of both worlds."
Final regulations issued by the Department of Homeland Security have rendered the REAL ID Act, intended to strengthen processes for issuance of driver's licenses nationwide, virtually useless as a security measure, while exacerbating privacy problems, CDT concluded in a comprehensive analysis of the rules, which were issued last month. CDT is urging Congress to enact legislation addressing concerns about the privacy and security of information that will be stored on the new cards and in an electronic system used to link the states.
Apparently Robert Fisk's biography of Saddam Hussein is selling very well in Egypt. There is just one slight problem - he didn't write it.
Tom Gallagher has a nice review of Ha-Joon Chang's Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism in the San Francisco Chronicle.
As Chang describes the way it really was, you realize how amazing it is that free market ideologues have been able to shoehorn Great Britain into a free-trade version of world history, given that it rose to economic dominance while building a world empire.
"The truth," he writes, "is that the free movement of goods, people, and money that developed under British hegemony between 1870 and 1913 - the first episode of globalization - was made possible, in large part, by military might, rather than market forces." And this period of imperial free trade followed long years of high tariffs and careful protection and nurturing of selected British industries..
"[M]arket and democracy clash at the fundamental level," Chang writes. "Democracy runs on the principle of 'one man (one person), one vote.' The market runs on the principle of 'one dollar, one vote.' " Chang's point may seem obvious, yet it is one infrequently made, due, presumably, to the power of wealthy individuals and nations. But just as obvious is Chang's conclusion that if developing countries "want to leave poverty behind" and nurture their fledgling industries just as today's rich nations once did, "they have to defy the market.""
"Three global record companies have launched legal proceedings against China's top Internet search engine Baidu.com Inc, accusing it of violating copyright by giving access to music files, an international music trade body said.
Universal Music, Sony BMG Music Entertainment (Hong Kong) Ltd and Warner Music Hong Kong Ltd have asked a court to order Baidu to remove all links on its music delivery service to copyright-infringing tracks that they own the rights to, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry said in a statement.
The claims have been filed with a court in Beijing, said IFPI, which is backed by global music industry heavyweights."
From Reuters - a Danish court has ordered an ISP, Tele2, to block customer access to Pirate Bay at the request of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI).
Google oppose Microsoft takeover of Yahoo!
Unsurprisingly Google have reacted negatively to Microsoft's bid to take over Yahoo!
"Microsoft has been trying to depict a Yahoo takeover as a boon for both advertisers and consumers because the two companies together would be able to compete against Google more effectively.
But Google is painting a starkly different picture, asserting that Microsoft will be able to stifle innovation and leverage its dominating Windows operating system to set up personal computers so consumers are automatically steered to online services, such as e-mail and instant messaging, controlled by the world's largest software maker.
In a move that illustrates just how badly Google wants to torpedo the deal, Google Chief Executive Officer Eric Schmidt called Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang Friday to offer his help in repelling Microsoft, according to a report Sunday on The Wall Street Journal's Web site, which cited anonymous people familiar with the matter.
The assistance didn't include a counterbid, but may have included supporting other potential suitors, or a revenue guarantee in exchange for an ad partnership with Yahoo, the people said, according the newspaper."
So Jack Straw considers it entirely unacceptable for an MP to be bugged during a meeting with one of his constituents, who happens to be wanted by the US as a terrorist suspect. This the same Jack Straw who for years has, along with his colleagues in government, been tediously repeating the "nothing to hide nothing to fear" mantra?
The Wilson doctrine has theoretically protected MPs from this kind of covert surveillance since the 1960s. So we must look to the technical concept of 'externalities' so familiar to economists as one of the key reasons why government can repeatedly pass laws facilitating increasing intrusive surveillance. They act comfortable in the belief that such laws won't apply to them, just to the untrustworthy citizenry. Maybe it is time we dropped the Wilson doctrine and MPs shared the consequences of the fall-out from ill-conceived laws? | 2019-04-22T02:25:33Z | https://b2fxxx.blogspot.com/2008_02_03_archive.html |

And it could be an even bigger success thanks to Amazon's resources.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Try telling that to Roku (NASDAQ:ROKU).
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) is reportedly working on a free ad-supported streaming video service that sounds an awful lot like The Roku Channel. Roku introduced The Roku Channel in September, and it's quickly grown to become a top five channel on Roku devices as well as a key piece of Roku's strategy moving forward.
Rumor has it Amazon's service, tentatively called Free Dive, will license older films and TV series. It will also be exclusive to Fire TV device users, just as The Roku Channel was originally exclusive to Roku device owners.
Amazon has all of the tools necessary to stop The Roku Channel's momentum dead in its tracks.
While Roku was one of the first to create streaming devices, Amazon's Fire TV devices have actually become just as popular for streaming video. Twenty-seven percent of streamers regularly use a Roku device to stream video, while 29% use a Fire TV device, according to a recent survey from William Blair analysts.
In fact, Amazon and Roku are two of the only device makers winning share in streaming time, growing at nearly the same rate. Roku's momentum is largely being driven by its efforts in licensing its operating system to television manufacturers. It expects the majority of new users to come from licensed sources going forward.
Amazon's momentum is driven by its growing Prime ecosystem. Amazon continues to drive customers to Prime by expanding Prime-eligible items, adding more cities to Prime Now, integrating benefits with Whole Foods, and expanding its content library for Prime Instant Video. It often sells its Fire TV devices below cost as a way to encourage more viewership for the premium video service it bundles with Prime. Amazon has found that members who watch video regularly are more likely to renew their membership.
Both companies have a lot of momentum with their audiences, but if anyone can take on Roku, it's Amazon.
Amazon's burgeoning advertising business is one of its biggest profit drivers. It could even become its most profitable business within a few years. Amazon's advertising growth has largely been fueled by search ads, as Amazon dominates online product searches. But Amazon's shopper data gives it a wealth of valuable data for targeting video ads.
While Roku has made significant progress in developing its ad technology and collecting user data, it can't compete with Amazon's data. Amazon also has some experience with video advertising during Thursday Night Football and other live sports events it broadcasts on Prime Video as well as advertisements on Twitch. Amazon recently doubled down on video ads on Twitch by removing ad-free viewing for Prime members.
With a strong advertising business, Amazon's ability to monetize ad-supported watch time is greatly enhanced. Therefore, it could afford to spend more on content and still make the same amount of profit as Roku. Not to mention, Amazon has deep pockets to seed its content library.
Moreover, Amazon's advertising capabilities could attract a lot of content partners. A key part of Roku's strategy with The Roku Channel is to help content owners reach a wider audience and share ad revenue with those content owners. So, some of the content isn't directly licensed by Roku, but part of a revenue-sharing agreement. Amazon could offer potentially greater reach and greater returns to content owners for putting their content on Free Dive.
Amazon certainly has the tools to take what Roku did and make it better. We've seen instances in the recent past where a larger competitor takes an idea from a smaller competitor and has a lot more success than the original (e.g., Instagram Stories). Amazon's Free Dive may be the next example. | 2019-04-25T16:07:12Z | https://www.fool.com/investing/2018/09/02/amazon-is-copying-one-of-rokus-best-products.aspx |
Discussion in 'other software & services' started by axial, Aug 1, 2008.
We have about 10 old drives floating around, some which have "mixed" content, i.e. stuff we want to keep mixed in with stuff that's "unknown" and some folders that definitely have virus content mixed in (e.g. "mail > attachment" folders). These aren't drives with backup files created by any utility, they're just used drives. In almost all cases we know the directory structures that would be "to be retained", but in some cases such as the "downloads" or Attachments folders, we'll need to open/view many of the files, jpgs, gifs, zips, pdfs, html, etc etc.
Aside from just running antivirus scans on the drives, we'd also like to weed out the accumulated unwanted files.
My first idea is to run a sandboxing app ( Sandboxie ) to do the browsing/looking, but .... with so many files to browse through, so many file types and directories to go through I'm concerned about time-efficiency, as there's just much good stuff proportionally compared to the bad stuff, so moving files to a Quick or Instant recover zone will be pretty time-consuming (not to mention wrist-intensive).
Can anybody suggest a better way to approach this process?
Seriously? Use a Linux machine running 2-3 anti-viruses, mount the drives, scan, disinfect, use Linux tools to properly identify files by type, size, data etc.
Do not use these drives in a Windows environment, especially since you do not know what they may contain.
Point taken about Linux, yes that would be a very secure approach .
So in the absence of Linux, then ...?
Could be hooked up as a slave drive. Either internal or in an external USB device. Even if hooked up to a Windows machine anything on the slave drive should remain dormant and harmless. You can then scan the drive in question with any number of good free applications and remove the malware.
Still seems to me though that when it comes down to the final recovery of the wanted data it will be a bit wrist intensive.
confession: haven't 100% assimilated reading from the Sandboxie site, still working on it.
If, after running antivirus scans etc. on the drive, I create a sandbox where I have access to the apps I need to open/view the various file types on the drive. Is it then possible to delete files on the drive from within the sandbox and not have to move the rest of the "files to be retained" into the Instant/Quick recover zone? In other words, do what sounds like the opposite of the typical usage?
As long as you are only planning on saving\viewing non-executable files then you should be safe, even without pre-scanning.
If I totally understand your plan, yes, it should work.
I would think a very simple solution would be to take another computer, and make it a sandbox. Image it or whatever. Take it off the network. Plug in those drives as slaves. Run AV if you desire. Check for your data. Sort your data. Etc etc etc. Even on the sandbox machine, since you are using it for a special purpose, put many protections on it. Run it in LUA or LUA+SRP, or use HIPS or whatever you really want to. Does not matter. If you aren't saving executables you should have no problem. If you are saving executables. then scan them with one of those online super scanner websites. Or just run them in the sandbox and see if your AV/HIPS/whatever catches anything.
For me I have many computers and many harddrives, so it is easy to just keep a spare machine around with an image for it. I can do things like that then no problem. Works very easy. | 2019-04-23T09:10:24Z | https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/recovering-content-from-old-drives.216683/ |

Since people are risk-averse with respect to gain and risk-seeking with respect to loss, their choices can be easily manipulated by whether an offer is framed as a gain or a loss.
A. 200 lives could be saved with certainty.
B. 600 lives could be saved with 1/3 chance and 0 lives saved with 2/3 chance.
Typically, 72% of us would choose option A even though the expected value1 of option B is equivalent to option A.
C. 400 people would die with certainty.
D. No one would die with 1/3 chance and 600 would die with 2/3 chance.
Typically, 78% of us would choose option D even though the expected value of option D is equivalent to option C.
Substantively, options A and C are identical and options B and D are identical. It is a case of whether we are viewing the glass as half empty or half full. In the first instance, "lives saved" is framed as a gain. People are instinctively risk averse2 with respect to gain and are reluctant to gamble with a sure gain unless the risky gain is so much higher. In the second instance, "certain death" is framed as a loss. People are instinctively risk seeking3 with respect to loss and are willing to gamble to reduce loss unless the risky loss is so much larger.
If people's perceptions of reality changes depending how reality is framed, the whole ideological foundation of consumer sovereignty and market exchanges as a positive-sum game is threatened. Then whoever wields the power to frame perceptions would gain at the expense of the passive perceivers. In the marketplace, this means consumers may be stuck with things they don’t really need at higher prices than they should. And in the political sphere, they may be duped into accepting policies that don’t serve their interests.
The expected value of a gamble is the average value of the payoffs weighted by their probabilities.
The tendency to choose a sure gain over a gamble with equal expected value.
The tendency to choose a gamble with an expected value equal to a sure loss.

From web and mobile applications to back-office tools and cloud hosting - Bad Dinosaur has got you covered. We've worked with companies ranging in size from one person up to thousands, and created our own products too. Just take a peek at some of our past clients and projects.
MVP of Advanced Engagement's security awareness training app.
We built the first working MVP of their security awareness training app in just three weeks. We also manage all of their ongoing infrastructure needs, including app hosting, storage and notifications - all fully scaleable, secure and in the cloud.
My ideas were quickly turned into a practical set of costed development milestones which were delivered on time. I'd recommend Bad Dinosaur to anyone who needs to build an application that can be scaled easily once the business concept is proven.
A platform for people in the creative industries combining art and mental health awareness.
Archiheads is a platform that supports people in creative industries. Mental Health is at the forefront of this project and integrates functions to support people’s wellbeing. People can exhibit, sell and buy artwork, a small percentage of the proceeds being donated to The Mental Health Foundation.
Bad Dinosaur has a team that is small and friendly, and extremely well-rehearsed in their respective fields. This made the development process easy, fast and a delight.
A tool to manage a world leading speed camera location database.
Bad Dinosaur were responsive to our needs. Kyle and Russ were quick to respond and come up with ideas and suggestions for finding the smoothest path through our project at the least cost and time.
A family-friendly site for those looking to enjoy Edinburgh and Fife with young children.
Edinburgh For Under Fives got in touch with Bad Dinosaur to redevelop and redesign their existing website to optimise it for parents on the go searching for things to do in the Edinburgh and Fife area.
It was a great challenge to work on EFUF. Their existing website wasn't optimised for mobile and felt like a translation of the book rather than its own digital product. We make the most of the web and used location-based search to provide a mobile-first experience for parents on the move.
Award-winning inflatable structures to hire or buy.
The Evolution Dome website suffered from typical CMS bloat - installing various Wordpress plugins to add more functionality seemed like the right idea at the time. But at some point, page sizes and loading times will suffer, and you just have to admit that you need a bespoke solution.
A consulting application that simplifies internal communications.
Haelo Consulting approached us to develop a tool which gives senior executives a ‘deep’ and intelligent insight into the performance health of their business.
The team’s willingness to adopt an emergent approach was invaluable to me, and I believe this led to the success of the project.
Providing new opportunities for entrepreneurs in the holiday rental industry.
The mission of Have You Got is to empower small businesses within the holiday rental industry to support each other within a community where business owners can share leads with each other when they themselves don’t have a suitable property to offer to the potential client.
What sets Bad Dinosaur apart from other companies is that they listen, ask questions, understand, stay focused and put things plain English. Bad Dinosaur have built my baby and have breathed life into my idea, so I now have something to show the world.
Group booking, CRM, administrative and invoicing software.
We changed the way Mackenzie School works by building a bespoke piece of software for running their core business - from booking management all the way through to invoicing their clients, and all the efficiencies inbetween.
The booking system Bad Dinosaur developed for us has reduced everyone's workload and allows us to spend more time doing what we do best - delivering programmes and courses.
A way for all cultures, communities and families to eat home-made food together around the world.
We built Munch Together's web and mobile applications, taking bookings and payments from people around the world. We also manage all of their ongoing infrastructure needs.
Prototype mortgage application tool for brokers and underwriters - with a quick turnaround.
Phoebus approached us to do some rapid prototyping for a mortgage application tool but they needed it to be a 'mostly' working version of what the final product would achieve... and turn it around in just 5 days. We took the challenge on and the result was a hugely impressed client.
We love prototyping - especially the rapid kind - and this was a great example of how we can prototype and innovate for larger companies.
Engaging primary and secondary school students in STEM.
The word I would use to describe my overall experience of working with Bad Dinosaur would be 'inspiring'. We thought we knew exactly what we wanted, and they helped us understand what we needed and how to achieve it.
MVP of Skillstep's online mentoring and talent retention app.
We built the first working MVP of their online mentoring app in just three weeks. Skillstep approached us with wireframes and a great idea for an app that could change large business for ever, and we delivered the MVP that set them on that path.
Bad Dinosaur transformed my thinking from ‘Here's a brief, now let’s build it’ to another way of working which puts emphasis on key tasks, features and ignoring the fluff that does not add value to the product or business using it.
Data visualisation of the UK Gender Pay Gap data.
The aim of Staffmetrix Gender Pay Gap is to make data around the wage gap in different industries and within different private and public sector entities more accessible and easier to analyse.
We were blown away by the process made by the first co-design meeting - the MVP approach really allows you to concentrate on the final product and not the process. The user interface session with Lindsay was the most helpful part of the co-design process, because it allowed me to imagine the journey for the typical user.
Tutor appointment booking and management system for their Academic Development department.
We worked closely with University of St Andrews' CAPOD department to build a system that manages their internal undergraduate tuition appointments with postgraduate tutors. The application has revolutionized the way they work and provided huge administration savings.
Our overall experience of working with Bad Dinosaur has been very positive. Kyle has been flexible, fast to respond and keen to work together to develop solutions to make Tutlings meet our requirements.
Providing local businesses with anonymous feedback and an opportunity to take action.
Vocal are on a mission to help local businesses improve their customer service satisfaction and build engaged communities. Their web app helps customers to give anonymous and private feedback quickly and easily; this way, customers can be completely honest and managers have the opportunity to discuss any comments or suggestions before taking action.
Bad Dinosaur took the time to understand our mission upfront and translated that into a technical design that could help us test our hypothesis with real customers quickly.
Supporting the environment, UK workers, and public services.
The idea behind YouK is simple: score every brand and product in the UK by how "UK" it is - from design to manufacturing to distribution.
Working together was a real collaborative process, a back and forth of knowhow and expertise, to get everything just right. | 2019-04-20T19:05:44Z | https://www.baddinosaur.co.uk/portfolio |
Super Bowl? More like, Super Cute.
For their Super Bowl commercial this year, the National Football League recruited some of America's cutest baby boys to portray past Super Bowl legends.
To the sweet tune of "You’re the Inspiration" by Chicago, the ad celebrates coaches like Vince Lombardi, who led the Green Bay Packers to victory in the first two Super Bowls, and three-time Super Bowl champ Mike Ditka, who won the game as a player, an assistant coach and a head coach.
Iconic players like Marshawn Lynch, who won in 2014 with the Seattle Seahawks, and oh-so-stylish Von Miller, the MVP of Super Bowl 50, are also featured.
"Born from greatness," the commercial states. "Who's next?"
And even cuter than the ad itself? The behind the scenes footage.
Last year, the NFL released a similar ad showing "Super Bowl Babies": babies born nine months after the Super Bowl was won in their city (so yes, babies conceived on the night the Vince Lombardi trophy was won by their parents' favourite team).

Ghost spotted Vanessa and walked over to her.
"We have a mission, the team is preparing." He pointed to the helo that was being packed with supplies.
"we are defending a town from a predicted russian attack."
Vanessa was talking to Ghost when she heard a familiar voice shout from behind her.
Vanessa turned around to see her brother Kevin running up to her. She hugged him and looked him over. He had a healing cut across his nose and a badly scraped cheek that was healing nicely.
"Nothing just a dust up." Kevin let out a hearty laugh and turned to Ghost. He had met this soldier before, and Kevin remembered quickly that he had not gotten along with him. "Hey." He mumbled to Ghost to be polite.
"Why are you here? I thought you were at Base Omega?" Vanessa wasn't upset, just curious.
"I am accompanying you." Kevin said with a smile, and he saluted Ghost, trying to make a joke of it.
Ghost grinned, he normally didn't like americans but he wanted to make peace. He stuck out his gloved hand to Kevin.
"Glad you'll be accompanying us."
Kevin frowned for a moment, wondering if this was going to be a prank, then shook Ghost's hand. Out of the corner of his eye, Kevin noticed his sister blushing. Why is she blushing...? Must just be that I'm here..., unless she has feelings for this brit!! Kevin quickly withdrew his hand from the shake and became serious.
"Let's just get on with it."
Ghost nodded and jogged over to the helo that was preparing to take off.
"Oi! Kevin can you kill more ruska than me?" Ghost half challenged and half joked as the two helos took off toward the town.
"Oh yeah of course I can!" Kevin barreled his response to the british man. "But I might be feeling a little under the weather today. Shall we make it a bet?"
"you're on!" Ghost yelled his response to the american. "I will bet an equivalent of 200 US dollars in pounds!"
Kevin laughed heartily and was merry all the way until they got to their destination. He hopped out of the helo once it landed and turned to Ghost.
"We wait and set up a perimeter." Ghost hopped out of the helo and started walking down the street following some soldiers carrying movable turrets. The whole town was empty prior to the team's arrival the town's people were evacuated. What a suprise the will get when they find out the civilians were replaced by elite soldiers. Ghost almost chuckled aloud but caught himself.
"We need to set up a base of operations." Ghost looked at Kevin.
"The market square? Kind of in the open though.." Kevin thought out loud.
"What about like an apartment building or something? Narrow hallways and lots of doors to duck in and out of." Vanessa said.
"I don't know." Kevin frowned. "How would we escape from an apartment if we were overwhelmed? Some sort of tower perhaps?"
"What about central hall?" Ghost pointed to a wide building that had a small tower at the top. "Gotta have some open spaces and tight ones."
Both Vanessa and Kevin nodded their agreement then followed Ghost towards the building that was to be their HQ.
"So how many russians we talking here?" Kevin asked nonchalantly.
"Oh I don't know." Vanessa said, not realizing that her brother was talking to Ghost.
Ghost watched the soldiers setup.
"Intel suggests a platoon, so little less than 100 and some humvees." Ghost checked the ammo in his clip. "So we'll need to ambush then cut off escape and hope they surrender."
Vanessa and Kevin both checked their guns.
"So when are they coming?" Kevin asked.
"Thats the only thing we don't know." Ghost chuckled. He checked his digital watch, 4:00. "Probably soon they will be expecting civilians, we hide until they get here then we ambush them."
"Alrighty then." Kevin nodded to both Ghost and his sister. "Time to go and find a good hiding spot."
"I'll do the same." Vanessa smiled at Ghost then ran a different direction.
Ghost was about to say that it needed to co-ordinated but the two were out of sight. He radioed them.
"The ambush needs to be co-ordinated."
"Oh right." Vanessa smacked her forehead. She made her way quickly back to where Ghost was waiting. "Sorry about that.." She began to blush but noticed that her brother wasn't there, and she hadn't heard him acknowledge on the radio. "Kev?" Vanessa spoke into her radio but there was no answer. She turned and raised an eyebrow at Ghost. "Why would he not answer?"
Then gunfire filled the air.
"let's go!" Ghost said to the squad and ran toward the sound of the gunfire.
Vanessa ran with Ghost towards the sound of the gunfire. What did my brother get himself into??
Kevin kept firing the machine gun at the russian troops. There were so many just trying to run up to his fortified position on the high wall of the building. He fired more and more but his gun was running out of ammo. "Fire in the hole!" Kevin hucked a grenade that landed right next to a group of troops. BOOM! Then Kevin kept firing.
Ghost burst out into the open and saw Russian troops."They're early!" Ghost exclaimed and scanned for Kevin, he was firing a machine gun down at the Russians he was on a building. Ghost fired his rifle to get the Russian's attention as a grenade went off in the midst of the Russian troops. Ghost threw a grenade and slowly made his way over to Kevin's building utilizing every cover point.
"Theyve got snipers setting up in that apartment across the square!" Kevin yelled to his comrades as he gunned down two more men.
"Kev watch out!" Vanessa yelled at her brother as an RPG came flying towards them.
Kevin rolled and jumped out of the window just in time. The RPG exploded sending Vanessa flying sideways into Ghost. Kevin had survived the blast but now he was on the ground with all the russians.
Ghost fell over from Vanessa colliding into him. Not sure if she was unconscious, he got up and started firing his gun at the russian troops. He got down and reloaded, he beckoned to his team.
"I'm gonna get those snipers." He said to his squad-mate. "Cover me and this position."
Ghost got up and made his way to the apartment.
Kevin rolled behind a crate that was near a fountain and crouched quickly. Bullets whizzed everywhere around him and he took a deep breath. He stood up and fired his rifle at the incoming russians. He felt a thumping on his chest and he tripped backward. He quickly crawled forward and groaned in pain. Good thing I'm wearing Kevlar. | 2019-04-25T20:18:14Z | http://onlinerf.forumotion.net/t80-operation-pre-ambush-ambush |

We hear lots of talk about the so-called ‘ideal user’ in this business. Whether it’s during our initial contact with a client or during subsequent discovery meetings where managers and other client-side stakeholders get involved, the term usually comes up at least a few times during discussions of who the product is for.
Surprisingly, and contrary to what you may have learned, it can often be a mistake to give so much attention to that so-called ‘ideal user’. Here’s why, how it happens, and how you can avoid making this common mistake that so many software product developers who came before you have made.
The ideal user is one user who represents the needs and desires of the most typical user of a software product. To envision such a user, developers and designers often create a fictional compilation of characteristics that they draw upon to imagine needs, and then design or develop with that fictional character in mind. Sometimes called a ‘model user’, this fictional user can be compiled using data from real users, amassed into a single entity for simplicity’s sake. Having this model in mind when making decisions during the development process helps teams stay UX-focused and “customer-centric”.
Then there are the power users. These are users who command a lot of attention during Discovery and consequently receive a corresponding degree of focus during development. They are indeed important users whose needs should be met. They are the users whose command of processes and systems is advanced, whose interactions with the product will be deeper and more complex. They are typically people who hold managerial positions. Or they’ve attained mastery of the process you’re automating because they’ve worked at the client’s company for a very long time.
Basically, a Power User is anyone who “owns” the process that you’re designing and developing for.
Very often, it’s those managers who are giving the development team the answers they require during the Discovery phases where requirements are being drawn up. You’ve probably been there: you have a new project and perhaps you ask the client to generate a list of users for the product. Your intention is to conduct user research so you can develop the right product for the right people that has the right features, etc.
So you ask for the list, assuming that you will receive a complete list of lots of different types of users. If it’s an enterprise job for internal use, you might expect a list that contains, for example, various types of front-line employees, managers, marketing, sales, or whoever will be needing the product to do their job. If it’s a customer-facing app the client desires, you’d expect to see a variety of different types of consumers the company is planning to target with the app.
And very often, what you get back is a surprisingly short list — or worse yet, a list of one: that ideal user.
That’s a good start but somewhere along the line, it’s a developer’s job to ensure that not just that single, so-called ‘ideal user’ is satisfied with the product we deliver, but all the important users’ needs are covered as well.
Very often, the client will assign the task (of communicating user needs to the development team) to their resident ‘expert’. He/she is their expert in the processes that the new product will incorporate and cover. He/she’s either been with the client’s company for a long time or he’s a highly respected professional who specializes in the process as a career so is the one they send to you to draw up the list of needs and requirements.
Another reason this power user is sent out to represent the ideal user and user needs is that it costs money to have an entire group of employees take time off their routines to sit around and talk about user needs. So that Power User becomes the Ideal User.
Again, this is a mistake and here’s why.
Hopefully, you’ll be interviewing tons of users for your user research. The power user (aka ‘ideal user’) may even turn out to give the least-useful information. To build a great product, you’ll want a diverse set of data covering all the users you can possibly fathom. Whether or not you prioritize all their needs will be a later decision but at least you do the work of gathering a complete set of data at the outset.
Otherwise, you’re relying on data from a Power User who, by definition, may not want things to change. They are, after all, the ‘expert’ in existing systems, right? Sometimes the “given” list of users is created by a manager/Power User who has a narrow vision when it comes to what the product should be. They are so involved in the old processes that they forget that maybe the new processes and therefore the new product should focus on a wider assortment of users so that it can work for everyone and therefore achieves more goals like improving efficiency.
According to the Nielsen Norman Group, the ideal number of users for a usability study is 5 for each persona that you or the client has created. This varies by the product, by the client, and by the development team, of course, but it’s far better than just one ideal user or a Power User or two.

What is it? What does it mean to you? Why use it?
Cool question....It means for me that you can see thru their eyes...move as they do...temporarily become whatever, for whatever reason you shapeshifted into. I didn't exactly believe in it till it happed to me an let me tell ya....a birds vision is very different from ours an takes some getting used too!
if it hadn't of been for that fact I wouldn't of believed it was real.
Shape shifting brings wisdom to you from the life around you. In the chant below, it is the traditional progression through the ladder of the spirit. It can also progress through the charkas of the body.
To me, shapeshifting is about taking a moment outside of yourself, taking a break from your everyday life, being able to see through the eyes of our animal brothers and sisters. It gives us a whole new perspective of the world.
"The ancient shamanic practice of shape-shifting is essentially the bioenergetic practice of attuning the rhythm of one's own shape to the rhythm of something in the natural world so that we may share its consciousness. When we begin to discern the grand shape of things, we become one with the forest, the stream, the raven, the earth. This may sound far-fetched but even some scientists are beginning to articulate a paradigm of physics that mirrors the perennial vision of druidism and shamanism. Jean E. Charon, a french physicist, for instance, has this to say, 'An electron that was successively part of a tree, a human being, a tiger, and another human being will thus remember for all time the experiences it has collected during these different lives. The electron will maintain in itself all of its experiences as tree, as human being No. 1, as tiger, and as human being No. 2, to whos organism it belongs at certain times.'"
Hope that was helpful, and I highly recommend his book, he's a fantastic writer and teacher.
Thanks for the heads up on a author new to me....Looks great!
Yeah, I definately recommend checking him out. He wrote The Mist-Filled Path and just came out with a new one called The Spiral of Memory and Belonging. Also if you get a chance to take one of his workshops or anything, its a great opportunity to work with him in person.
I've never "shape-shifted" before. They don't talk about it in the Course. Not sure if I believe in it, really.
I had a great dream recently where I shape-shifted into a rabbit!! It was really funny! I was attending a Druid ritual in the woods in my shape-shifted form. I could see people in white clothing running through the woods laughing, dancing, playing music and building a fire. They had some dogs with them. I was enjoying being there with them and really was not aware at first that I had shape-shifted! The dogs left the group and came toward me. The lead dog stopped a few feet away and just stood there with his nose down, very quiet. I thought they might bark at first but they didn't. They seemed to recognize that I wasn't an ordinary rabbit!! The dog then whined briefly and lead the other dogs back to the Druid group. I was then aware that I had shape-shifted and saw the ground close-up -- that was the end of the dream. I think my "cover" was blown by the dogs!!! They somehow knew I wasn't a real rabbit!!
I'm not sure if I really want to share this, but oh well.
A squirrel? There are so many of them around...they must be very active sexually. You must have had a great time!
Azrienoch, besides the fact that was very funny because it is not a story one hears everyday, I would also think that it was a VERY powerful dream and a core example of shape-shifting.
In Taliesin's story he shapeshifts into numerous animals as a means of escape.
A story as a Bard, you might be familiar with.
I did have a chuckle about the squirrel Azrienoch. Though it seems a powerful experience, more so because it wasnt what you expect. and it could have been worse lol.
I started to shift shape as soon as I started to meditate regularly.
shifting is a very serious subject. night hawk, i assure you, i NEVER belived in it myself, until i starting working so closely with the differnt native tribes, and learned how they viewd it, and with each tribe it was culturally diffreent than another. then, i underwent a rather odd ceremony with a chief, being asked to eat certain meats he had just chewed for me. once i had done that, i noticed that shifting just came upon me at first. and i shifted into the forms of the animals i had eaten in that ceremony. i have gained more control over the whole event, and can now usually call upon the animal of need. sometimes, my body just WANTS to be something else, and i can feel like i am being pulled into a vortex, like going down a roller coater ride. i know i am about to shift, and i have to make a concious effort not to do it if the time is not appropriate. there are definite physical changes that go along with shifting. all the senses are affected. anyway, it is something i woill be addressing later in a new work i am producing.
This Frank MacEowen guy. I'm going to have to check him out. I picked up the Mist-filled path once but I did not buy it although it looked good. Have you been to one of his lectures?
I think dreaming is an excellent example of shape-shifting because a number of us have had this experience and who was to say the difference if it was real are not. In the dream you did not know the difference. Maybe this is because 'An electron that was successively part of a tree, a human being, a tiger, and another human being will thus remember for all time the experiences it has collected during these different lives. Who knows? I rarely care for explanations. I'm much more concerned with how it makes me feel internally.
A lot of books can tell you more history than Frank does, and a lot of them can tell you more of the particulars of tradition and practice. What Frank does in the Mist-Filled Path is capture the beauty and spirit of the Celtic traditions and at the same time 'orients you to your holy senses' as he puts it. Its quite a read. I was at a workshop of his last December called Reverend Heart, Radient Mind and it was really great. I'm also going with a small group he's leading on a pilgrimage around Ireland next fall. Check out his website if your interested in his work: http://www.solasdana.org.
Its interesting to note that for the most part our ancestors did not view dreaming in the same way we did. And why would they? They were awake, they lived, they communicated with an saol eile, the Otherworld. They went to sleep, and sometimes they dreamt- they lived out their lives even while the body was asleep. Celtic consciousness tends to see things as spiralling around, a dyanmic ebbing and flowing of different tides. If we look at the year we can see that fundamentally it was divided into two halves, giamos and samos; dark and light. If we look at some of the comments made about their view on death, "death is the center of long life", we see it once again in this idea that you live out your time here, and then when you die you continue living in the Otherworld. And the cycles go on and on, working in a spiral. So its easy to see with this logic how they may have viewed sleep and dreams. Each day we live our lives in the physical, and each night we live in the Otherworld. So not only does the day grow from darkness, and then die at sunset, but we go through the same cycle with it. Each day we grow from darkness as well, wake up, live our lives here, and then "die" when we go to sleep. I don't mean to suggest that they actually believed sleep was death, but rather that this was just another smaller cycle of rebirth within a larger one of the Celtic year when we along with the world are reborn at Samhain; within an even larger one of our very lives; living, dying, rebirth.
The only non-human shape I've ever consistly shifted into is wolf (I've told it before so I won't bore you with it here) but the liberation is tremendous... for me it's hard to say which is my true self at times because after the first time, it feels so natural and relaxing. To go through the woods and underbrush more surefootedly than my human form ever allows, the increased sense of smell and hearing, the lightness I feel in my paws to go skyclad yet not feel the lack of covering no matter what weather or time of year. It is what I would choose to return here as in another lifetime. I am very glad to be back online... I missed you bunch, missed the daily checking in and reading the posts. yeah... Wolfies baaack! | 2019-04-21T06:20:09Z | https://messageboard.druidry.org/viewtopic.php?f=164&t=5019 |
When the Church of St. Raymond was founded in 1842 — 19 years before the start of the Civil War —the location of the church was in an area of farmlands and estates in what was then known as Westchester Village in Westchester County. We now know it as the Bronx and the current Church of St. Raymond is on the same piece of property as the original church. The first St. Raymond Church was converted from an old barn.
Initially, there was prejudice against Catholics and against building a Catholic church in the area by local estate owners. However, in 1842 the Right Reverend John Hughes, Coadjutor to the Bishop of New York, was able to purchase the property where the church now stands. Father Felix Villanis was appointed as St. Raymond’s first pastor. St. Raymond Church became the center of missionary activities. St. Raymond Church, the first church in what would later become the Bronx, started 13 mission churches over the years.
Father Villanis began raising money for a new church from Catholic families in Westchester Village. However, Father Villanis was transferred before the church was completed and it was the parish’s third pastor, Father Matthew Higgins, who was pastor when the new church was dedicated on August 31, 1845, the feast of St. Raymond Nonnatus, which is how the parish received its name. Even before the church was completed, burial ground adjacent to where the completed church would stand, was consecrated. Father Higgins eventually purchased additional land for what would become St. Raymond Cemetery.
The Catholic Church in Westchester was growing during this time. St. Raymond Church experienced significant growth with the influx of Irish and German immigrants to Westchester as a result of the Great Irish Famine of 1847 and the German Revolution of 1848. Many of these newcomers became parishioners. Records show that there were 99 baptisms in 1854; 81 in 1855; and 90 in 1856; considerable numbers for that era.
In the first 15 years of St. Raymond Parish, seven priests served as pastors, with Father Jeremiah A. Kinsella beginning his pastorate in 1857. He would remain at St. Raymond for 18 years and is credited with founding the parish’s first elementary school. St. Raymond School opened in 1868 with two Sisters of Charity to staff it, per Father Kinsella’s request, and 130 students from the adjacent Catholic Protectory.
During Father Kinsella’s tenure as pastor, St. Raymond Parish grew considerably, as did the surrounding area. Many of the farms were sold and homes were built on the land. New streets were laid out and the number of parishioners increased so significantly that by 1865, Father Kinsella required the help of an assistant priest and received it in the person of Father James T. Cole. The number of Catholics continued to grow during this time. In 1846, there were 15 parish churches in the city for approximately 100,000 Catholics. By 1866, the number of churches had increased to 31 and the number of Catholics to about 450,000, although some estimates put the number as high as 600,000.
St. Raymond Cemetery continued to grow and by 1874, was almost full. St. Raymond’s pastor, Father Michael McEvoy, purchased Underhill Farm, which became known as the New Cemetery.
The years between 1888 and 1931 saw a lot of changes for St. Raymond Parish. The pastor for these years was Father Edward McKenna, who would build a new church, elementary school, convent and rectory.
By the early 1890’s, St. Raymond Church could no longer accommodate all its parishioners, and in August 1897, ground was broken for a new church. The first Mass in the new St. Raymond Church (which still stands today) was celebrated in July 1898.
The new elementary school was dedicated in 1909. World War I delayed the building of the convent, which was completed in 1928. In the meantime, parish demographics were changing as the 1920’s saw an influx of Italian immigrants into the area.
The new rectory was completed at the end of 1931 but the first pastor to live in it would not be Father McKenna, who passed away in December of 1931, but Father Thaddeus Tierney, his successor, who joined St. Raymond Parish in 1932.
During his tenure, Father Tierney made improvements to the church; beautified the grounds surrounding the church; improved the cemetery and purchased 90 additional acres for the New Cemetery. The Parish continued to grow with the opening of Parkchester in 1940. The influx of new parishioners necessitated doubling the number of Sunday Masses. The elementary school continued to grow until it could no longer accommodate all the students. Monsignor Tierney built a new elementary school, which opened in 1951 and is still in use today. In 1960, Monsignor Tierney’s successor, Monsignor John Corrigan, established St. Raymond Academy for Girls, a high school. In 1962, Monsignor Charles Giblin completed work on a building that his predecessor, Monsignor Corrigan, had purchased and opened St. Raymond High School for Boys.
The demographics of St. Raymond Parish continued to change in the 1970’s, when large numbers of Hispanics and African-Americans moved into the area. The 1990’s saw an influx of West Africans, especially from Nigeria and Ghana. Today, St. Raymond Parish and its three schools are multicultural. Our three schools together educate nearly 2,000 students each year.
St. Raymond Cemetery, the only Catholic cemetery in the Bronx, is one of the busiest cemeteries in the United States with nearly 2,500 burials each year.
At 176 years old, our parish has a vibrant spiritual life with a strong religious education program, a robust RCIA program, two adult choirs (English and Spanish) and a junior choir, a youth group, a Legion of Mary, an African Community, and many other groups. St. Raymond Church continues to provide a warm and welcoming spiritual home for Catholics and those who want to become Catholic in the Bronx and beyond; to remind us to strive to live as Jesus taught us; and to provide assistance and support to those in need in our community. | 2019-04-25T16:24:26Z | https://straymondparish.org/our-history |

The LDA is pleased to announce that the Lyme bill, HR 4701, July 23, 2014 version, passed with voice vote out of the Energy & Commerce Committee, today, July 30.
The battle for passage of this bill began early this year when LDA met with House leadership to present objections to a vector-borne diseases bill from being introduced in the House Health Subcommittee that would have covered Lyme disease but had no representation at all from patients and physicians and would not have covered other tick-borne diseases because of incidence rates. The LDA provided language changes which provided patient input and transparency. The bill was brought before the Subcommittee, but an amendment in the nature of a substitute was offered and passed out instead—a substitute that was dangerous for patients.
The LDA led a nationwide campaign to bring back patient friendly language and had a letter signed by 154 groups nationwide stating what was necessary from a patient perspective which was sent to all of the Members of the Energy & Commerce Committee. We then worked with Mr. Gibson and the Committee to change the language to produce a bill which will help provide a research agenda for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases including evaluating chronic or persistent infection and co-infections.
The LDA thanks Mr. Gibson, bill sponsor; Mr. C. Smith; and Mr. Upton and all of the Committee members who supported the bill. We also thank our partner groups who were instrumental in the effort to pass this legislation, and all Lyme groups across the country, patients, and other groups who worked on this effort. The next step for the bill is to go to the House floor, which will probably occur sometime after the summer Congressional recess.
