Labyrinth At Edgar Cayce's A.R.E.
I live a mile and a half from the headquarters dedicated to the work of the well-known mystic Edgar Cayce. There's a labyrinth up on the hill in front of "the old hospital" with a view of the ocean in the distance. The pattern is a replica of the Chartes Cathedral Labyrinth in France except this one has 2 dolphins in the center, as seen in the top photo. It's a treasure to have this meditation tool in my neighborhood.

STATE OF NEW YORK
25 BEAVER STREET
NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10004
|George E. Pataki
Gregory V. Serio
The Office of General Counsel issued the following opinion on February 27, 2004, representing the position of the New York State Insurance Department.
Re: Long Term Care Insurance, Discrimination Because of Breast Cancer
May an insurer refuse to issue a policy of long term care insurance solely because the applicant has a history of breast cancer?
No, such an action would be contrary to the New York Insurance Law (McKinney 2000 and 2003 Supplement).
Some 8 years ago, Mrs. A had bilateral breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction. At the time of the surgery, the pathology report indicated that there had been no lymph node involvement. Subsequent to the surgery, Mrs. A underwent chemotherapy as an adjuvant to the mastectomy.
Recently, Mrs. A applied for a policy of long term care insurance and were denied coverage by the insurer because of her history of breast cancer. Mrs. A believes that, because she no longer has breast tissue that would serve as a nidus for that type of cancer, the insurers actions are improper.
Long term care insurance is authorized by New York Insurance Law § 1117 (McKinney 2000 and 2003 Supplement). Because, in accordance with New York Insurance Law § 1117(a) it may only be written by insurers that may issue accident and health insurance policies, it is considered a form of health insurance.
New York Insurance Law § 3234 (McKinney 2000) currently provides:
(a) No insurer shall refuse to issue any policy of . . . non-cancelable disability insurance, or cancel or decline to renew such policy because an individual has had breast cancer, provided that the initial diagnosis of such disease has occurred at least three years prior to the date of application and that a physician has certified that the disease has not reoccurred in the applicant or the individual proposed for such insurance.
(b) The prohibition of subsection (a) of this section shall not preclude an insurer from establishing selection criteria where the insurer can prove that its decision was based on sound underwriting and actuarial principles reasonably related to actual or anticipated loss experience. In such case the selection criteria used must be based on such principles. The insurer shall notify the applicant or proposed insured of its specific reason or reasons for such decision.
In the last session of the Legislature, last year, 2003 N.Y. Laws 599 was enacted, to become effective on March 28, 2004. This enactment repeals New York Insurance Law § 3234 and substitutes New York Insurance Law § 2613:
(a) Unless its action is based upon sound actuarial principles or is related to actual or reasonably anticipated experience, no insurer shall refuse to issue any policy of . . . non-cancelable disability insurance, or cancel or decline to renew such policy because an individual has had any type of cancer, provided that the initial diagnosis of such disease has occurred at least three years prior to the date of application and that a physician has certified that the disease has not reoccurred in the applicant or the individual proposed for such insurance
(b) In the case of an adverse underwriting decision, the insurer shall notify the applicant or proposed insured of its specific reason or reasons for such decision.
Disability income insurance is needed during working years and replaces lost income. Long term care insurance is usually to provide for expenses attendant upon disability occasioned after withdrawal from the work force. Since long term care insurance is not a sub-set of disability insurance, applicants for long term care insurance would not be protected by either New York Insurance Law §§ 3234 or 2613.
However, New York Insurance Law § 4224(b) (McKinney 2000 and 2003 Supplement) provides:
No insurer doing in this state the business of accident and health insurance . . . shall: . . . (2) refuse to insure . . . solely because of the physical or mental disability, impairment or disease, or prior history thereof, of the insured or potential insured, except where the refusal, limitation or rate differential is permitted by law or regulation and is based on sound actuarial principles or is related to actual or reasonably anticipated experience . . . . . . .
It is the position of the Department that, based upon New York Insurance Law § 4224(b), an insurer may not refuse to issue a long term care insurance policy solely because of a history of breast cancer. While an individual who has undergone a mastectomy no longer has breast tissue to serve as a nidus for that type of cancer, he or she could be vulnerable to other types of cancer or reoccurrence of a cancer, other than breast cancer, or some other disease. However, unless the insurer has valid actuarial evidence that a history of breast cancer increases the risk of disease, it may not utilize the previous history as a basis to deny issuance of a long term care policy. In addition, the insurer would have to utilize the same data for similarly situated applicants for that type of insurance.
For further information you may contact Principal Attorney Alan Rachlin at the New York City Office.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) - The Joker may have won this round.
The Batmobile was traveling to Nickel City Con in Buffalo when it crashed on the I-190 Thursday.
According to a Facebook post from Tv and Movie Cars For Hire, both Batman and Robin are ok. However, the Batmobile will be back in the Batcave for some repairs.
It's unclear what caused this crash, or how long the Batmobile will be out of commission.

Whoa—Elle Fanning Debuts a Grown-Up New Hair Colour
We've seen some pretty shocking hair transformations on the red carpet. Case in point: Katy Perry's Grinch-green lob way back in April, Nicole Richie's various pastel rainbow hues, the list goes on. But though brights and pastels seem to be the trend right now, Elle Fanning pulled a different shocking hair move at the premiere for her new movie, Boxtrolls: she went brunette. It's no Nicole Richie-status hair transformation, but we still count the change as quite radical for the young actress, who has always kept her hair a bright, platinum blonde. Fanning said she dyed her hair for a role, but we could easily see her rocking this grown-up hue after the movie wraps up. No word yet on who is responsible for her new chestnut mane, but we'll update with the news once we hear it. We love the sophisticated new look and can’t wait to see how she styles it!
Do you prefer Fanning as a brunette or blonde? Sound off below!

My ex-wife has given Dr. Inkblot a complete printout of everything on this blog.
I am not sure what her purpose is. She apparently read everything thoroughly. If only she listened to me during our marriage, it might have worked better!
She particularly points to this post for an "example of people reading web site". It was an eloquent email I received about dads doing their duty in face of hardships. Read it yourself, and see if you can figure out why she thought that it was so interesting.

Nobody says "Halfjack is my favorite Roger Zelazny story!" It's pretty forgettable and I would never cover it here except for two reasons. 1.) I always get it confused with The Engine at Heartspring's Center, because they both open with a cyborg walking on a beach, and 2.) It's one of the few Zelazny stories that strike me as being tied to a specific era.
I think that Zelazny is among the best of science fiction authors in that his stories are largely timeless. Stories about the future are always informed by the era when they written, so you never have "the future" as much as you have "the future as seen from 1966." Zelazny largely manages to avoid this and set his stories in the timeless now. The oldest of his published works are approaching the half-century mark, and while there are occasionally anachronisms, he's no worse than most authors and better than many.
In the introduction, Zelazny writes: One day, I saw a nice, slick, pretty, new magazine called Omni and was overcome by the desire to have a story in it, so I wrote this one and did.
I grew up in the 80s and my dad had a subscription to Omni, so I'd sometimes read it, and Halfjack strikes me as the absolutely archetypal Omni short story. There's the popular science, the human element and the twist at the end, all in the space of a few pages.
The main character is Jack, a cyborg pilot who usually keeps his cyborg parts covered with a fleshy bodyglove that gives him a human appearance. His girlfriend not only tolerates his cyborg parts, but she kind of likes them. Jack breaks up with her and returns to his ship, where he undresses and interfaces with the computer.
Blue-and-pink world below him, black sky above, the stars a snapshot snowfall all about, he bade the shuttle pilot goodbye and keyed his airlock. Entering the Morgana, he sighed and set about stowing his gear. His cargo was already in place and the ground computers had transferred course information to the ship's brain. He hung his clothing in a locker and placed bis body glove and hairpiece in compartments.
He hurried forward then and settled into the control web, which adjusted itself about him. A long, dark unit swung down from overhead and dropped into position at his right. It moved slowly, making contact with various points on that half of his body.
They have a conversation, where it seems the ships computer Morgana is a better match for Jack than the human woman had been.
Several hours later, when they lett orbit, he had already switched off a number of his left-side systems. He was merged even more closely with the vessel, absorbing data at a frantic rate. Their expanded perceptions took in the near-ship vicinity and moved out to encompass the extrasolar panorama with greater than human clarity and precision. They reacted almost instantaneously to decisions great and small.
—It is good to be back together again. Jack.
Morgana held him tightly. Their velocity built.
I don't think it's Zelazny's best work, but it's a quick enjoyable read.
Bonus: Cyborgs on the beach
Okay, Zelazny fans, which is which? Engine or Halfjack?
He walked barefoot along the beach. Above-the city several of the brighter stars held for a few final moments against the wash of light from the east. He fingered a stone, then buried it in the direction from which the sun would come. He watched for a long while until it had vanished from sight. Eventually it would begin skipping.
Upon this day, he walked beside the water, poking with his forked, metallic stick at the things the last night's storm had left: some shiny bit of detritus useful to the weird sisters in their crafts shop, worth a meal there or a dollop of polishing rouge for his smoother half; purple seaweed for a salty chowder he had come to favor; a buckle, a button, a shell; a white chip from the casino.

I may have been lucky to survive a Toyota Prius but that car isn’t a very masculine so go figure and that situation helped me tick that experience from my bucket list hahaha.
But FUCK….. I did not for a second imagine how hard it was going to be to crawl my way back, there were plenty of moments that I wanted to just say fuck it and at one point I almost did. The thought of ‘what if I didn’t survive” came along and hit me like a sledgehammer, the worst part about it was I had my boys for the weekend too….
I am glad I reached out and said something to a friend (who is now my girlfriend) because that was the thing I needed to get through it.
The thought of ‘what if’ I experienced was a debilitating thought.
“What if I didn’t survive my accident then everyone wouldn’t have to put up with my broken body, yeah they would be sad but like everything in like it will pass then everyone can carry on with their lives.”
That one thought compounded with everything else, hurt a lot and I thought it would’ve been a lot easier if I was removed from life.
I’m glad I didn’t and had the support there to help me through it because from that I have now removed that thought and don’t give any similar thoughts the energy to manifest themselves.
What example would I set if I gave up after everything I had been through, I found a new focus and did one small thing everyday to just keep me going, which is I walked around the block being mindful about being in the moment. Doing that helped massively.
Help is something I wasn’t used to asking for but being in the situation I was in, I wasn’t about to cut my nose to spite my face. So, I learnt to suck up my pride and ask for help, I’m glad I did. My life has been so much grander for the simple action of asking for help.
Until next time….

Showing Results: Most Recent
Pros: Lots of space, great cable management, external hdd bays, great look. This is a great case that is almost a full tower case. Setup was easy and quick.
Cons: The instruction manual could be done better. It was pretty basic and not helpful for getting the computer running.READ FULL REVIEW
Pros: Works great when connected. Decent Speeds.
Cons: Worked with both of my 2.5" HDD's at first (Couple of days) then stopped working with one of them. The hdd indicator light stayed lit on the HDD like it was stuck trying to read the drive. The computer kept saying the drive needed to be formatted. I checked the drive with two different USB external enclosures (the ones I was replacing for this device) and they both read the device. The HDD (Samsung Spinpoint 4 HM640JJ) worked fine on my old usb 2.0 enclosures but would not work at all with this device.
Other Thoughts: I am RMAing it for a refund and will purchase a more reliable product.READ FULL REVIEW
Pros: The adapter runs well - easy install. Quick connectivity and fast speeds. Does not lose connection like the usb version of this product.
Cons: The only downside to this (and the TEW-621PC card as well) is the software utility. It does not provide an efficient way to troubleshoot problems, and this utility says it is for the Trendnet 621pc card instead of the 623pi (they are the same utility but you would think a simple name change is not a difficult thing to do).
Other Thoughts: Installation manual does not provide proper installation instructions which could lead to significant damage to one's computer. It simply says to turn off the computer, open the case, and install the card. This leaves out the vital steps of unplugging the computer and power supply and grounding yourself to avoid static electricity buildup.READ FULL REVIEW

In a recent interview, actress Emma Watson admitted she once had "a huge crush" on Tom Felton, her "Harry Potter" co-star who plays the nefarious Draco Malfoy in the films.
Felton opened up about the issue in a recent interview with OnTheRedCarpet.com correspondent Jacob Burch.
"Yeah, that's a testament to how long we've been doing this," he said. "I think she was about 10 and I was maybe 12 or something like that," he said. "It was very flattering. I heard it through the grapevine somewhere along the lines and we've been good friends ever since."
"It's nice that we can kind of look back at those things and laugh about them," he added.
In the "Harry Potter" movies and books, Malfoy, whose parents are both wizards, often insults Granger, born to a human couple, by calling her a "Mudblood," which is deemed a derogatory term. The two do not become romantically involved, but fans have for years created websites and written stories depicting a romance between them.
Watson told Seventeen magazine in an interview published in its August issue: "For the first two movies, I had a huge crush on Tom Felton. He was my first crush." She added, "He totally knows. We talked about it. We still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that's cool."
Felton also chatted briefly about the end of a 10-year chapter in his life, filming the eight "Harry Potter" films.
"It's bittersweet, you know?" he said. "We've all very glad and grateful that we've had the run that we've had," he said. "It's obviously sad to say good-bye to the kind of mini family we've grown up with."
Reporting by Jacob Burch, correspondent for KABC Television's entertainment show "On The Red Carpet" (check for local TV listings).

Have you ever sat outside on a sunny day and wondered what it would be like go back in time and make a few different choices… I have, I do I constantly think of the ways I would change things if I could. I am just a girl who is trying to figure out where it all went wrong, how someone can love someone so much and spend so much time searching for reasons why he could ever hurt her in return. I guess its time to share this side of an epic tragic love story between two people who lost themselves to two different social type backrounds. A magical love story with a tragic ending.. My name is Jess and I have always said… I love Chad More, More. But this is no fairytale tail ending… this is reality <\3
From bottom to top- via blog ♡
The past is always something we look back on, something that defines us. We sometimes miss the music and we sometimes don’t. I love looking back on how young he was, how cute and how I got to have him during those years. Something she’ll never have. Growing up scares me, what age will we suddenly look into the mirror and no longer recognize ourselves. When will everything in life become a struggle when we once had everything at our finger tips. He was everything and one day he just became nothing, I didn’t want him I didn’t need him but what I went through with him is what made me into this strong independent women. I still smile at our past before it went wrong, frown upon what went so wrong. But to love again, if he has or not.. but for me that’s a gift. To look someone else in the eyes and just know that the future holds new adventures. That’s a blessing. I wonder sometimes when he became so different; Chad I mean. I wonder if he sits within disappointment playing candy crush and how many years have gone by. He’s a prime example of who I don’t want to be and with the age difference I am glad I have learned from his mistakes. But sometimes I sure miss the skater boy in the pictures but glad to have the advantage to say yeah when he looked good.. he was mine.. and now he’s yours.
That’s what they wanted, was for me to be afraid. Those stories those lies, they wanted me to close my eyes and panic. Everyday they wanted me to live in fear. I would have to say, when I was faced with life after struggle with loss, heartache, addiction and so much more, alone. They left me there, to figure it out on my own. They too saw bugs in my apartment, I am so afraid of insects.. to watch me scream at the top of my lungs and refuse to kill them, like it was no big deal. They made me walk in thunderstorms facing the fear of lightning, they made me face the fear of being alone. I get this is a strategy, for when one hits rock bottom.. but did none of them realize I’ve been doing it on my own since I was 17. I always wondered what would happen when they realized I didn’t want them apart of my life anymore and it had back fired?. I wonder how much of the game I played myself, did I too loose myself within character. Did this just once again build a wall to consume me with hate. I spent hours, doing sit ups and squats and push ups, I spent hours punching the shit out of that punching bag, I jogged those streets at night; I know exactly what it is like to stand there and face fear in the eyes. Did they doubt me? I stood there waiting, ready to throw the first punch. Did they under-estimate me? Now sitting here weeks til I’m off bail, I wonder to myself; is he even worth the fight anymore. As he has been trapped within his own prison of a relationship without the ability to love someone, while I have been off completing my bucket list of my wants. Or am I looking for them to prove that I too can stand up for myself; I am no push over. I wonder why he felt the need not to protect me, was it a plan all along? I wonder if he knew the years of training, one does not get into a bad life style without the knowledge of needing the ability to win. Perhaps its better to leave a broken-hearted weak girl; image in their minds. I wonder if Chad just knew there was a day I stopped loving him the way I use too. I just wanted a man, a man to protect me, a best friend who worshipped me, a safe set of arms to cuddle me when I was scared. The reality of it all is; the man I once loved so much, became the monster under my bed. . and I am no longer afraid of the monster under my bed. I am not afraid to face any fear I may have on my own. To hear the pain he struggled with the fear of loosing me. To not have the emotions within to care; two lost souls broken apart, lost without each other; only to ever love each other. However to not have it hurt anymore; freedom. I think I may have finally found my; independence.
The day when it all set in.. I was royalty and they were peasants. To have them pick on me, and watch on the side lines and laugh. It makes me smile the need to no longer need him, to make plans and to never think about him. The best part of it all was, I wish I could be there to watch him try to suceed. You tend to realize when once his friends and family pick on you, perhaps he might just not be doing so well. I want to shine, I want to get everything I have ever wanted. I have shoved happiness within faces of those who crave it. I never knew being free would be so amazing and healing for my soul. That the past will chase you, to go out of their ways to make sure its harder for you, and in reality it makes it so much easier; as their wines and cries are the reasons for your smile. To feeling of winning. I never thought I would feel nothing at all, that the urge to want to fight those so ugly would take over my mind. How is it that he has been forgotten? It scares me, it hurts a little inside to think we only live once… and that’s all we had. That each day going forward; his chapter is over. As if he is dead, there is apart of me that wishes he would just die, so I had a real excuse for his absence, one that made sense. Will there be a time, where I get to shove it all in his face? laugh and move on.. no. Will there ever be a time where I hear this whole time he missed me.. no. Will there ever be a time that someone tells me the story within the lines of why… no. It’s crazy that everyday I live without hearing about him, seeing him or just knowing. It’s crazy the struggle that has become a blessing, we have no mutual friends. We have been so easily forgotten; that we no longer matter; erased. That forever, is actually a limited time. No one gets forever, and we only get one life. To watch someone lower their standard for a pretend fairytale, a lower life standard, to just be numb throughout it all. I don’t cry, but I want to, he could have done so much better. I have always lived life as an emotional rollercoaster kind, I love someone so much right now, but because of Chad. I live my life on a 3 red flag rule, they have to be able to with stand the emotions, the standards and answer the questions properly. I have to thank him, that girl who is so emotionally attached, can only help one so much until she to finds pleasure watching them fail. Why is this world so convinced that these standards are right? When did the world thing we must compete? and what happened to partnership.. have I become like the rest of the world, finding pleasure watching you drown? … no. I refuse.
Dear; Chad, 6 years later 2016
There’s a reason I never begged for you to come home. It’s not because I don’t love you, it’s because I was able to start loving other people -and to love; I forgot what that felt like. Johnny Depp always said if you love two people always choose the second one because if you truly loved the first one, you could have never have fallen in love with the second one. I hate that we have a love hate relationship now, but with you bringing in such homewreckers who think they know me or my struggles. That can give you any type of advice, well that isn’t even the problem. Why do strangers I have never met know anything about me in the first place? I have grown up to my own standards, I still party hard to loud music and I have grown to love myself and my friends more than I ever loved anything. I can’t say I am shy anymore, I am actually quite full of myself; thinking I am the star of the show. If we were on camera or we were a movie… I would have the number one role and I would be the star. I had to run away from you because you got to old all of a sudden to fast, you weren’t funny anymore or fun at all. Your style and your personality turned into something/someone else. Your bi polar has seriously gotten the best of you; yes Chad google your medication and see what it says. You once did that to me didn’t you? but then again, I am not on medication; you are. I dont miss you, I hope you dont miss me, because even when I was laying on the floor you walked away. I only had myself to rely on, to find the strength to stand back up on my own two feet and thats who I love most:::: myself. I love my life so much, I love that I didnt miss out on my life; being a kid, college. Even after you emptied my bank account; I got up and I fought back at life; I have my smile and chuckle back, I love to laugh. My love for music has grown to the point that I now write music. You once asked me for ‘your Jess’ back, I am here to tell you… she doesn’t exist anymore. xo J
Homewrecker; a word we all cringe too. When in this world did Ashley Madison start and have it okay to meet people for an affair. I wish I could tell you that he went looking for her, however he was manipulated by his friends to get with her. She is a country girl; you know the trash that bleaches their hair, but are to over weight for it to look good. When they have a playboy bunny over sized necklace on, they smile but their canine teeth are an off yellow colour to the rest of their teeth. You could tell she was full of herself, but when I look at my friends who are super hot and then her, I think honey you are the nastiest thing I have ever seen. I have never met Leannah Brighton, although I want too. The first time she came in pretending to be Chad’s friend and helping him with an apartment, an off part of her barn on her parents farm.. where she slowly apparently moved in after with her dishes and her ugly pink bathroom towels. I was kind to her, let her know he was still seeing me too, maybe she was unaware; I had hope. Now when this ( this might be rude; it’s unlike me I know. She deserves it. ) nasty ass fat ass cow who walks a rabies infested fat ass pig on a leash everywhere, comes back and tries to ruin our relationship once again. I label this tramp a; homewrecker, I did threaten Leannah, but is it truly a threat? When I was serious. I would have seriously have grab this chick by her greasy hair and taken a pair of scissors and cut her hair off, I would have grabbed her by the head and curbed her with a pair of my sexy DC kicks. I would have run her over with my car and perhaps even have slit her throat. This girl was with Chad during our off time for half a year, he has mentioned to me and many others how much he hates her, he even had to punch her in the face. However she’s bigger then him so in UFC that’s a fair fight, I am half the size of her and I have been calling her out to fight for years. Perhaps this homewrecker is to busy being photoshopped into pictures being eaten out by her pig. We will never know? I have never hated anyone in my life, I give dirty looks to girls if their eyeing my guy or laugh at girls who talk shit. However this girl has made one of the worst enemies you could imagine, even though he tells her he hates her, she shows up everywhere. I have been to so much anger management that I have to control my anger which helps in the real world. I would have just let the past be the past, but is it not sad – her continuous comments how she wants (not that it happened or might have) to be his baby daddy, while he’s with another girl. I have OCD and my obsession with eliminating this girl has gotten out of control. To now 2 years later, as I grow up; laugh, at how nasty she is. I wonder if she can even afford a bra? ekk cause I don’t know if those are milk utters or just another roll above her belly button. I did have to make a mean girl blog because I sit here egging her on to prove to her that she meant nothing. Plus we all want a YouTube video of little Jess kicking big Fat Leannah’s wide load ass… or at least I do.. 💕 my camera crew is ready 💤… for a one on one knock out… but she’ll always be a no-show.. cause she’s a nobody. SLUT. Now back to the real story… one she was eliminated from a long time ago.
Straight Edge; Country girl vs the Party Animal; City girl. that alone screams; you’re dead 😂🤔 you’re lucky; I’ve moved on, let’s just say that; you’re someone else’s homewrecking problem.
Row row row your boat!. It was a beautiful summer day, Chad and I had decided to do what we do best, go fishing! It was one of the things we did together to escape from reality. When you think of fishing, right away Chad & Jess come to mind. It was so cute we even decorated a tackle box together, where we put all our fishing stuff – labeled with our names. We use to do stuff like that all the time, he even decorated his bat for softball in my favourite colours, green and purple. We always made the little things about each other, because we were always “that” girl or “that” guy, that was my favourite part; being more special then anyone else. One of the things that made dragonflies our thing is we went on an adventure up north. We jumped in a paddle boat and paddled around a huge lake, thinking it was a great idea to fish from it. During our ride within the paddle boat a dragonfly came and landed right on Chad. I mean he hung out with us for like half an hour and hitched a free ride, we blew at him, made fun of him but it didn’t seem like he was going anywhere. He was so pretty, as all draygonflies are, until Chad caught a big fish and then we realized perhaps fishing in a paddle boat wasnt the best idea we have ever had. He caught a huge pickerel and we tried to knock it out with our shoe.. none-less; we totally took it home and ate it, it was a delicious fishy. Those are the memories I miss, the man before he decided to put on the V mask and wear it; with attitude. That’s why the draygonfly is so important to the both of us, it’s when we realized how much magic really was between us, and when the world was a lot less complicated; it was just the two of us.
Facts; A draygonfly will travel up to 100 miles in one day. Some adult dragonflies live only for a few weeks while others live up to a year. Nearly all of the dragonfly’s head is; eye, so they have incredible vision that encompasses most every angle, except; right behind them.
One of his favourites he sent me♫♫♬

Building a successful home business takes time and effort. Many people believe it’s nearly impossible to build a fruitful business without having an edge. An edge is important as it allows you to differentiate yourself from other businesses. For example, selling electronics from home, means that you are competing directly with Amazon and Best Buy which makes it difficult for you to create an edge.
One of the best ways to build a home business is to use a blog or website especially if you have some knowledge of the capital markets. If you have been following the capital markets and have been writing about them or a considering this type of venture, then you can make money from home by directly becoming an affiliate partner.
How to Make Money from Home
Any affiliate partner within the forex space, is someone who drives traffic to a forex broker. Forex, or foreign exchange is the largest of the capital markets with more than 5-trillion dollars a day traded globally around the clock.
There are several ways you can build up a following by writing about the forex markets. You can review forex brokers, as well as research sites. If you have the knowledge, you can write about technical analysis. If you like making videos, you can discuss the markets or book or any products if you are gaining a following.
Once you have a customer base, you can begin to recommend different brokers and share in the upside.
What is an Affiliate Program?
An affiliate program is a marketing program which is offered by forex brokers. One of such program is Activelyinvesting. Using Activelyinvesting market tools, you can get banners to promote the program, as well as links set-up that will allow you to track the prospects you send to their site. If one of your client’s registers, deposits capital and makes a trade, the broker will pay you for bringing the customer to them. The payout is called a customer acquisition cost or CPA. The CPA can range in value, but in general its standard across the forex industry.
What Type of Clients Should You Send to a Broker?
While its important to send several clients to a broker, the quality is more important than the quantity. If you plan to write about kitchen appliances, it is unlikely that you will find many of your readers that are interested in signing up to trade at a forex broker. You want to send clients that are interested in the capital markets to your affiliate partner. If you have a site that is focused on trading, the more clients you send to your partner the more likely you are to receive CPA.
Your broker will need to wait until a client transacts before they make a payout. This is because many potential clients will sign up with multiple brokers and test drive the system before they make a trade. You customer acquisition fee is predicated on your partner receiving revenue from a transaction.
If you are able to put together a website or blog or even drive traffic from social media, an affiliate marketing business in the foreign exchange place can be a great place for you to make money from home.

MLB Team Report - Atlanta Braves - INSIDE PITCH
Andrelton Simmons got to play in just two Grapefruit League games with the Braves before heading off for the World Baseball Classic, but at least the slick-fielding young shortstop will get to continue his new role at the plate while away.
The 23-year-old native of the Dutch island of Curacao will bat in the leadoff spot for the Netherlands at the WBC -- just as he is penciled in to do for the Braves in 2013.
"The way the roster shapes up, there's really no other guy that we could give that opportunity," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
That really doesn't sound like a glowing endorsement, but Gonzalez feels that Simmons is very capable of hitting first in the order despite having only 49 major league games under his belt. Just don't expect him to work pitchers deep in the count.
Simmons likes to swing the bat, and when he does, he usually makes contact.
"I don't think he needs to change anything with the approach to be in the leadoff spot," Gonzalez said. "I think he's going to be in a good spot with all the veteran hitters behind him. I don't think he needs to do anything to compensate."
Simmons' defense was as good as advertised after he was promoted from Class AA Mississippi last June, and the shortstop surpassed expectations at the plate.
Simmons hit .289 despite having his season interrupted by a broken hand. He posted a .335 on-base percentage with 12 walks and 21 strikeouts. He had 13 extra-base hits while usually hitting eighth in the batting order.
With the addition of Justin Upton and B.J. Upton, the Braves could have six players with 20 or more homers this season. But do they have an adequate leadoff hitter to replace Michael Bourn?
Simmons, confident beyond his years, is determined to win over the doubters.
"I like hearing the criticism a little bit. It drives me," he said. "So I'm going to show people I can lead off. I'm going to show people I can hit there."
Having a full Grapefruit League season with the Braves would have been beneficial, but Simmons felt that he had an obligation to play in the WBC. He left immediately after the Feb. 23 game against the Yankees for the 20-hour flight to Taiwan and likely will be away from camp for about two weeks.
"I don't want to leave here, to be honest," Simmons said before departing Florida. "The games just started. But I guess I need to go. I want to go. But at the same time, I don't want to leave."

--LF Justin Upton's first homer in a Braves uniform against the Marlins' Scott Maine on Feb. 25 was believed to be the longest to left field at Champion Stadium, which opened in 1997. The towering drive sailed far over the berm and was estimated to have traveled at least 450 feet. RF Jason Heyward connected for his second homer in two days just before Upton's blast in the fourth inning. "That's everything I've got right there," said Upton, who had been 0-for-6. It was a big day for the Braves' new outfield, which went 5-for-9 with the two homers and three RBI. CF B.J. Upton, Justin's older brother, had a double, a single and a stolen base.
--UT Evan Gattis, used at designated hitter, homered and doubled against the Yankees on Feb. 23, showing off the power that makes him so intriguing to the Braves. Gattis, 26, doesn't have a true position, but can play the outfield, first base or catch. The right-handed batter hit 16 homers in 53 games in the Venezuelan winter league. "The biggest thing we need to figure out is, 'Where are we going to play him?'" manager Fredi Gonzalez said.
--LHP Mike Minor was the first Braves starter to be scored on when he gave up two first-inning runs while allowing three hits, two walks and throwing a wild pitch against the Nationals on Feb. 26 in the fifth Grapefruit League game. RHP Tim Hudson, LHP Paul Maholm, RHP Julio Teheran and RHP Kris Medlen all had two-inning scoreless outings previously, with only Medlen giving up hits. Minor bounced back from his rough first inning, retiring the Nationals in order in the second. He struck out four in his 25-pitch outing.
--RHP Julio Teheran, in line to be the Braves' fifth starter, didn't allow a hit against the Pirates over two scoreless inning on Feb. 24 in his first spring start. He did walk a batter and hit another while striking out two. Teheran will piggy-back starts with LHP Sean Gilmartin, the Braves' first-round pick in the 2011 draft. Gilmartin also pitched two scoreless innings against the Pirates, allowing one hit and striking out two. Gilmartin likely will open the season at Class AAA Gwinnett, but he is insurance if Teheran falters.

Deep Woods Ivory Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
Very pale in colour, with brilliant green hues. An expressive and vibrant nose exhibiting aromas of lime and guava laced with lemon blossom. Intense, juicy citrus, lemon grass and passion fruit flavours instantly fill the mouth. ‘Crunchy’ acidity adds complexity and provides a refreshing backbone to the wine.
Best enjoyed in the first two years from vintage so as to capture the freshness and vibrancy of the wine.

Published by: Bookouture (16 February 2017)
Three years ago, Toni’s five-year-old daughter Evie disappeared after leaving school. The police have never been able to find her. There were no witnesses, no CCTV, no trace.
But Toni believes her daughter is alive. And as she begins to silently piece together her memories, the full story of the past begins to reveal itself, and a devastating truth.
Toni’s mind is trapped in a world of silence, her only chance to save herself is to manage the impossible. She must find a way to make herself heard. She must find her daughter.
We're given a lot of information about the main characters in this book, so we get to learn a fair bit about Toni and little Evie, and their life together before Evie's disappearance. I really like it when authors give more background on characters as it makes me feel I know them a bit more, like friends, maybe; or neighbours. Perhaps this is why I felt so invested in Toni - I was rooting for her from the beginning. I got exasperated alongside her and anxious about her, as well as silently (I read quite a lot of this book in a public place!) willing her do/not do certain things! All the characters here are believable and very well written.
As with the author's previous book, Safe With Me, the narrative switches between the present time and a point in the past. In this book, however, I think it comes across almost seamlessly; much improved since the author's debut novel. The point in the past is the time of Evie's disappearance, upon which the tension builds and builds like a pressure cooker.
I was so shocked by the killer twist, which I definitely didn't see coming! To say any more would give the game away, but...wow! I found this book compelling in places would recommend it to fans of psychological thrillers.
Thanks to K. L. Slater, Bookouture and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC in return for my honest review.

Peaceful Paths is bringing back one of its premier fundraising events for the first time since the start of the pandemic—and spiffing it up with a new day, a new season and new hybrid auction component.
The Power of the Purse, which raises money for the domestic violence center’s economic empowerment program, traditionally has been a fall event to coincide with Domestic Violence Awareness Month in October. The previous versions of the event had also been set up as mid-week luncheon with an onsite auction.
But the 2020 event got canceled by COVID-19, and the not-for-profit decided to revamp the format, moving to a weekend brunch in April and shifting its auction from in-person to online.
Stephanie Freas, the development director for Peaceful Paths, said the organization hopes the weekend brunch and “fun, high-end purse auction” will allow more people to participate.
The brunch itself is from 10 a.m. to noon on April 17 at the Gainesville Women’s Club. But the online auction of approximately 150 donated purses—new, gently-used and vintage—is already open and will continue through April 17.
The donated purses up for bid include products from designers like Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Dooney & Bourke and Coach. The auction also features new and used “Take Me Home” purses that are not part of the bidding process and are priced from $15 to $75.
And you do not have to attend the Saturday brunch to buy or bid on the purses—winning bidders can arrange to collect their auction items in-person next week from Peaceful Paths.
In the fall, Peaceful Paths hosted a virtual guest chef event that featured an online auction. Moving it online roughly doubled the number of participants and helped the organization raise about $25,000 more than at previous events. Freas said they hope the Power of the Purse sees similar successes.
“The virtual component certainly allowed more people to participate than ever before,” Freas said.
The organization also has already secured several sponsors, which have already boosted the event’s fundraising.
“Going into the event we have already raised almost as we had for the entire event the last time we had it in October 2019,” Freas said.
The Power of the Purse is earmarked for the economic empowerment programs at Peaceful Paths, including helping domestic abuse survivors with rapid rehousing costs, job readiness skills, and credit repair. The program also pays for survivors to participate in a 10-class personal finance workshop.
“We are trying to help survivors to get on the path to financial independence and self-sufficiency,” Freas said. “It’s one of our most transformative programs.”
Anyone interested in attending the brunch in-person can call Peaceful Paths for ticket availability at 352-377-5690. Tickets are $55 a person. The tables will be socially distanced, and attendees will be required to wear a mask unless they are sitting at their designated table.
People looking to participate in the online auction or to make donations to Peaceful Paths can access the auction website via Peaceful Path’s Power of the Purse event page.

The Rolex GMT-Master reference 6542
The Story of the Rolex Pussy GaloreThe Rolex GMT-Master reference 6542 may be a familiar sight for fans of the James Bond franchise. The watch is known for being worn by the Bond girl from the 1964 film Goldfinger ‘Pussy Galore’, played by Honor Blackman. This has had such an impact on the legacy of the watch that it’s been dubbed the Rolex GMT Master “Pussy Galore”.
The origin of the Rolex GMTThis model of Rolex watches was specifically requested by Pan-American Airlines in 1954 as they were looking for reliable wrist watches for their pilots. It was important that these watches could simultaneously display two time zones. This is how the Rolex GMT was born, GMT standing for Greenwich Mean Time. It was specifically designed to have a rotatable 24-hour bezel and an extra hour hand to make it more convenient for pilots to read the multiple time zones needed during air travel.
Rolex GMT-Master in Goldfinger
In the James Bond franchise, Pussy Galore is the personal pilot for the main antagonist ‘Goldfinger’ and the leader of a female aviator team called ‘Pussy Galore’s Flying Circus’. Of course, since she is a pilot, she wears a beautiful Rolex GMT Master with a Pepsi Bezel. Specifically the Rolex GMT-Master reference 6542.
Pussy Galore is implied to be a ‘Lipstick Lesbian’. When James Bond first runs into her he tries seducing her. Pussy rejects him, however, by telling him she is not interested. Of course it isn’t an old James Bond film without him managing to seduce Pussy anyway and converting her from being a lesbian after which she seemingly turns against her old boss by alerting the US government about Goldfinger’s plans.
Pussy Galore’s legacy
One of the most amazing things about the portrayal of Pussy Galore by Honor Blackman is that it represents the first recorded case of a woman wearing a man’s 40MM Sport Rolex ever. After this portrayal many people started considering women wearing men’s 40mm Sport Rolexes to be very stylish and sexy. It is amazing to realise that this trend started with the incredible acting done by Honor Blackman in the 1964 James Bond film. This has also made the GMT-Master reference 6542 forever memorable with it earning the nickname Rolex GMT Master “Pussy Galore” in tribute to the extraordinary Honor Blackman.
The GMT-Master “Pussy Galore” in our collection
The GMT-Master “Pussy Galore” in our collection is almost entirely in its original condition. The bezel and the clasp are the only things that were replaced during its lifetime.
The bezel has been replaced by, what we presume is, either an old replacement or a great old aftermarket replacement. It looks pretty much identical to the original except that it is not made of bakelite and there is no radium inside of it. Which is not a bad thing. Originally all Rolex GMT watches had bakelite bezels. This was chosen because it would reflect less and thus prevent pilots from being blinded. The downside however, is that this material is very fragile and tends to crack easily. Combine that with the radioactivity of the material and you quickly come to understand why Rolex discontinued the production of this bezel after a couple years.
The clasp has also been replaced by a 1966 alternative but the rest of the watch is all original. Rolex serviced the watch a couple years back and it has been running like new ever since. The dial has a unique look with great fading and oxidation which matches the time period perfectly. The case, crown, back and movement all look very good.
Overall this watch is a great investment since it is very sought after by collectors. Especially when the watch still has the original dial, hands, roulette date wheel, and case.

It's been far too long since we've last heard from the folks over at Amy's Baking Company, who were in the spotlight of the most notorious episodes of Kitchen Nightmares last year, garnering Gordon Ramsay's first time being unable to help a joint.
Seriously, if you aren't caught up, it's a wild ride!
Anyway, the Phoenix New Times noted that the America's Worst Bosses of 2013 by eBossWatch list was out, and Amy's landed right at #6! They should be happy they aren't #1 after all the media focus, but they're not happy at all — nope!
They even went out of their way to get their employees to record confessionals as to how awesome it is to work there. Like we don't know Amy's signs their checks!
And, naturally, like they have many times in the past, they took to their Facebook page to air their thoughts!

Cedars-Sinai has discovered that four patients have been infected with a superbug from a contaminated medical scope, while another 67 people have potentially been exposed.
The hospital said it began investigating the chance of infections after a similar outbreak at UCLA’s Ronald Reagan Medical Center that infected seven patients, including two who died.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the widening scope of the issue will increase pressure on the Food and Drug Administration, which has come under fire for ignoring warnings about medical scopes. Olympus Corp., the Japanese electronics giant that makes the device, has also faced scrutiny for designing scopes that are very difficult to clean of bacteria.
Surprisingly, the FDA acknowledged this week that the Olympus scope has been on the market for close to five years without the necessary government approval, CBS Local reported.
[quote text_size=”small” author=”– Lisa McGiffert” author_title=”Director of the Safe Patient Project at Consumers Union”]
It’s highly likely many hospitals around the country have had outbreaks, and they haven’t been able to connect the dots until this problem was disclosed at UCLA.
According to Cedars-Sinai, one of the four patients has died, although the death was not related to CRE, or carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae. The other patients have been discharged.
The Cedars-Sinai patients were likely exposed to CRE from an Olympus duodenoscope used between August 2014 to mid-February 2015.
The superbug CRE is very resistant to antibiotics and it is believed to kill up to 50% of people it infects. In both hospital outbreaks, the bacteria was spread during a procedure called endoscopic retrograde chloangiopancreatography (ERCP).
About half a million people undergo ERCP procedures every year. The procedure involves threading a fiber-optic scope down the patient’s throat to diagnose and treat issues involving the digestive tract, including cancer, bile duct blockages and gallstones.
As a precaution, Cedars-Sinai will send free home test kits to an additional 67 patients who had the procedure during the time frame, according to Fox News.

David Walsh, a former Network Engineer that worked at Apple from 1995 to 2007, is suing the company for violating California labor laws.
Filed in the United States District Court, Southern District of California, the complaint focuses on the fact that employees were required to work more than 40 hours a week or eight hours in a workday. Walsh’s suit says that Apple then denies the employees proper compensation for that work.
Walsh claims that Apple has created several job levels so they can make them exempt from receiving overtime wages. One example given is the use of “Senior” before the title “Network Engineer,” even though all Network Engineers perform the same duties.
The on-call requirements for Network Engineers were also an issue for Walsh. His on-call duties lasted for seven days, every six weeks — during this time he was on stand-by every night without additional compensation.
The lawsuit is seeking class action status, which would allow any employee during the class period to join the lawsuit.
Walsh is seeking compensatory damages, restitution of one hour of pay for each workday without a meal period and an award of liquidated damages, statutory damages and legal costs.
Apple does not comment on pending litigation.

Steve Bruce is close to signing Ahmed Elmohamady for a THIRD time as the Egyptian edges towards a move to Aston Villa.
The Villa boss wants the right winger on board having previously worked with him at Hull City and Sunderland.
Elmohamady is keen on re-uniting with Bruce but Villa still need to agree a fee with Hull before the switch is sealed.
It’s understood that around £3million will be enough to land the 29-year-old but Villa are still negotiating and could swoop in the coming days.
Bruce has already tempted John Terry to sign for the claret and blues this summer and is making good progress with his next target.
He’s keen on Elmohamady because he can operate at right wing-back and a switch to three at the back could be on the cards next season following Terry’s arrival.
Villa are well-stocked on the right side with Alan Hutton, Ritchie De Laet and James Bree all vying for a starting role but that hasn’t put Bruce off his pursuit of a man he knows well.
It was back in 2010 when he first spotted Elmohamady playing for ENPPI in his homeland.
A loan move at Sunderland was turned into a permanent one and Bruce re-signed him for Hull City two years later.
The full-back still has two years left on his current contract but is keen on a new challenge and a switch is now edging closer.

In an effort to address the severe disruption to corporate and local property taxpayers resulting from the State of Emergency declared in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Supreme Court of New Jersey entered an order on March 19, 2020 extending deadlines for various local tax appeals. Generally, local property tax appeals are required to be filed by April 1, or within 45 days of the bulk mailing of Assessment notices, or by May 1 where a municipal-wide revaluation or municipal-wide reassessment has been implemented. Property located in Monmouth County, by virtue of its participation in the Real Property Demonstration Program, is subject to a now-passed January 15 deadline. Under the March 19 order, the filing deadlines for local property tax appeals and counter-claims in the New Jersey Tax Court and New Jersey County Boards of Taxation are extended to the later of May 1, 2020 or 30 days after the Governor declares an end to the State of Emergency. The March 19 order also extends several deadlines related to state tax appeals to the later of May 1, 2020 or 30 days after the Governor declares an end to the State of Emergency. Generally, such appeals are to be...
Category: Tax Abatement
The redevelopment of vacant and blighted parcels has been a cumbersome, frustrating and, in many cases unsuccessful, process for municipalities and developers alike. Pennsylvania’s new land bank legislation could change all that. Philadelphia, with its own land bank legislation is poised to take advantage of the state legislation.
All in favor of residential property tax relief, raise your hand! And, if you own an eligible home in the City of Philadelphia, apply now. The City is offering its residential homeowners the opportunity to apply for a Homestead Exemption. The Homestead Exemption would reduce the assessed value of an eligible home by $15,000 or more, and consequently lower the real estate taxes owed by the homeowner because the homeowner would pay real estate tax only on the reduced assessment.
Crucial to New Jersey’s Five-Year Exemption and Abatement Law is the time within which an application for the tax exemption or abatement must be filed with the municipal tax assessor. A recent Tax Court of New Jersey decision provides the first published opinion interpreting a crucial provision of the statute used to calculate such period of time. Under N.J.S.A. 40A:21-16, written application for a tax exemption or abatement must be made to the municipal tax assessor within 30 days (including Saturdays and Sundays) following the completion of an improvement, conversion alteration, or construction on the property for which tax abatement or exemption is sought. The statute defines “completion” of a project as the date on which same is “substantially ready for the intended use”.
The New Jersey State Comptroller released a report Wednesday entitled “A Programmatic Examination of Municipal Tax Abatements.” The Comptroller’s report is critical of both five year abatements and long term abatements granted by municipalities and was being widely reported in the press yesterday. Referring to five year abatements (NJSA 40A-21-1 et seq.) and long term abatements (NJSA 40A-20-1 et seq.), the Comptroller’s report finds “numerous weaknesses in the regulation, implementation and oversight of these programs” including: PILOTs paid to municipalities are at the expense of counties, school districts and other taxpayers; there is lack of transparency and centralization of information about abatement agreements; criteria and processes for evaluating potential abatement agreements are weak; directly affected stakeholders are not adequately involved in the decision making process; municipal follow up on abatement terms and benefits is lacking; redevelopment areas in which abatements are granted are not periodically reviewed to account for neighborhood changes or improvement; municipalities often fail to use abatements to bring in the type of redevelopment that would address community needs or bring appropriate improvement; and the State does not closely monitor the use of abatements or offer significant guidance to municipalities on how to interpret relevant statutes or implement abatement programs.

PPG Completes COLORFUL COMMUNITIES Project in San Juan del Rio, Mexico
By Business Wire News
By Business Wire News
PPG Industries (NYSE:PPG) today announced the completion of a COLORFUL COMMUNITIES™ project to help revitalize the auditorium at Mahatma Gandhi secondary school in San Juan del Rio, Queretaro, Mexico, as part of its global charitable-giving effort. The Colorful Communities program provides PPG employee volunteers and products to bring color and vitality to communities where the company operates around the world. Launched earlier this year, the program increases PPG’s commitment to invest in communities by adding $10 million to support efforts made during a 10-year period.
The project brought together more than 50 volunteers – PPG employees from the San Juan del Rio coatings manufacturing plant and their families – who used more than 1,500 liters (about 396 gallons) of paint products by PPG to beautify the auditorium.
While PPG volunteers completed the revitalization project at the school, the PPG plant hosted educational events. Students participated in a science fair and learned from PPG experts about the company’s efforts to minimize waste, to ensure safety procedures at its facilities and to apply color theory in the production of its paints and coatings.
“An essential part of the PPG philosophy is to support the communities where we have a presence and where we as employees live,” said Stan Zaharewicz, PPG operations director at the San Juan del Rio facility. “The commitment of our company to San Juan del Río is reflected in the dedication our staff members have shown in support of this initiative and in the teamwork they exhibited through their volunteer efforts to make this project a success. We look forward to completing additional Colorful Communities projects locally in the future.”
PPG’s San Juan del Rio facility makes products such as waterborne coatings, powder coatings, and low-volatile organic compound (low-VOC) coatings and paints.
The PPG Colorful Communities initiative aims to enhance, protect and beautify the neighborhoods where the company operates. Together with community partners and PPG employee volunteers, the program supports projects that transform community assets using donated PPG products. The Colorful Communities program is currently engaged with a number of communities and expects to complete more than 14 projects in 2015 in North America, South America, Europe and Asia.
The Colorful Communities program is PPG’s signature initiative for its community engagement efforts. In 2014, PPG and the PPG Industries Foundation donated more than $5.7 million to hundreds of community organizations across 24 countries around the world. These investments focused on: education programs that teach young people skills needed to succeed in studies and careers related to science, technology, engineering and math, such as jobs in advanced manufacturing; revitalization programs for buildings and community spaces; and organizations important to employees through grant and matching-funds programs.
PPG Industries and the PPG Industries Foundation aim to create brighter, more colorful communities where PPG has a presence around the world. By investing in educational opportunities, we help grow today’s skilled workforce and develop tomorrow’s innovators in industries related to coatings and specialty materials. With the support of our workforce, financial contributions and PPG products, we help revitalize our communities. Plus, we empower PPG employees to make an impact for causes that are important to them by supporting their volunteer efforts and charitable giving. Learn more at www.ppgcommunities.com.
PPG: BRINGING INNOVATION TO THE SURFACE.™
PPG Industries’ vision is to be the world’s leading coatings company by consistently delivering high-quality, innovative and sustainable solutions that customers trust to protect and beautify their products and surroundings.

CA Identity Manager r8.x, used with CA SiteMinder, had the ability to use Access Roles to enable/disable access to SiteMinder controlled web resources based on role membership. This "Role Based Access Control" (RBAC) was originally disabled in r12 due to CA Identity Manager's decoupling from CA SiteMinder. RBAC has been reintegrated with CA Identity Manager r12 CR9 but this capability is disabled by default. The purpose of this document is to explain the process of enabling RBAC in CA Identity Manager r12 CR9.

An extremist Turkish nationalist hacking group called Ayyildiz Tim has hacked the Facebook user page of Hebûn, the Kurdish LGBT Association based in Dyarbakir.
Members of Hebûn are extremely concerned about sensitive information that was stored on their account, including details revealing the identity of closeted gay people.
The group, which represents Kurdish LGBT community and is based in Diyarbakir, says its members suffer the double discrimination of being gay and Kurd. They used the Facebook page as their main means of organising meetings and events.
Ayyildiz Tim attacked the Hebûn page this weekend and posted nationalist symbols, intended to offend Kurds, and a video bragging about their previous hacks. The group has previously hacked many websites, forums and facebook pages and users, including the United Nations’ official page.
Speaking with Gay Star News, Arif, the head of Hebûn said: ‘The Facebook page which was very useful for us in reaching LGBT people has been hacked and everything has been changed with nationalist pictures and announcements.
‘It is most definitely a homophobic, transphobic and fascist attack, since we are Kurdish and LGBT. It serves as a reminder to the difficulties and discrimination we face as being both Kurdish and LGBT.’
The user page was connected with over 2,500 friends who need to communicate safely and often with their identity protected.
Arif said: ‘We had 2,540 friends most of whom had visibility problems. That is, they haven't come out and our friend list was hidden because of this. Yet, this fascist attack made the friend list visible to public, which makes us really upset and worried. You must guess how hard to be a visible LGBT person here.
‘Not a single organisation said made any statement related to this incident, or let alone protest against or had it covered in the Turkish media.’

My latest book Weird Maths, coauthored with Agnijo Banerjee, is now available worldwide in bookshops and online. For more, see www.weirdmaths.com
Ian Stewart, author of Significant Figures : “A glorious trip through some of the wilder regions of the mathematical landscape, explaining why they are important and useful, but mostly revelling in the sheer joy of the unexpected. Highly recommended!”
Clifford A. Pickover, author of The Math Book: From Pythagoras to the 57th Dimension : “Darling and Banerjee take us on a captivating ride through a vast landscape of mathematics, touching on mesmerising topics that include randomness, higher dimensions, alien music, chess, chaos, prime numbers, cicadas, infinity, and more. Read this book and soar.”
John Stillwell, Professor of Mathematics, University of San Francisco, and author of Elements of Mathematics : “In this inspired collaboration, a young maths prodigy teams up with a popular science writer to present a fresh view of the world of mathematics. Together they fearlessly tackle some of the most weird and wonderful topics in mathematics today, rightly believing that “if you can’t explain something in plain language then you don’t properly understand it”. Clearly, they understand it.”

Tom Megginson, who writes the adblog formerly known as "Work matters" and now rebranded to "The Ethical Adman", noted the Adland-trademark fight. "Who owns Adland?" he asks in this May 2015 post (archive here).
Adland is absolutely ancient in internet terms, having been established in 1996 when most ad people were still trying to figure out if the web was good for anything except free shock porn. A young Ms. Wäppling, under the pseudonym "Dabitch," instead saw the opportunity to create an online global ad archive and professional forum, which in this decade Brand Republic, Business Insider, and Fast Company have listed as one of the most influential in the industry. She even trademarked the name, several years ago. And he's been a mentor as I've fumbled my way into the ad blogosphere.
So you'd think it would be pretty clear that "Adland" = adland.tv. Especially among ad industry bloggers.
Apparently not. As you can see from the Google screencap above, venerable industry magazine Ad Age uses the term "adland," in a generic sense, to refer to the industry in several posts. I have no idea if they used it this way in print, years back, but online it definitely infringes on Dabitch's intellectual property. And she's let them know, many times.
Now other people are letting them know. When Ad Age posted "Adland seeks to hire veterans," Dabitch says she started getting resumes. After finding out they didn't mean THAT Adland, one vet let Ad Age know what he thought about the avoidable confusion:
(adland.tv ended up helping the guy get some job leads anyway.)

I write this under some protest. I have been instructed to ‘upgrade’ my biography by my fellow bloggers. They are both somewhat younger than me and fail to appreciate that when one reaches a certain age, a word like ‘upright’ is a bloody sight more meaningful while ‘upgrade’ can be a little disconcerting, a bit like polishing one’s own obituary. Nevertheless, I forgive them and offer the following droplets in an effort to slake what they regard as the insatiable thirst of our followers for knowledge of my daily doings.
Some years on from my previous effort, I remain as grumpy as ever, although as time rolls on, I’m beginning to prefer to describe myself as ‘feisty’. I have finally resorted to the need for talking books and my TV is a blank electronic grey; but on the plus side, I’ve discovered that a lot of folk on the screen are more interesting if you can’t see them. I am still doing my best to ensure that the country’s brewers keep ticking over. The grandsons continue to grow at what seems an alarming rate and get more entertaining with each visit.
Retirement, I’ve found, suits me. I manage to fill my days very nicely, starting with a cryptic crossword and continuing with general housework, Victim Support work and, of course, the occasional blog and a well-earned beer. Lots of positives really. Negatives? Not that I can think of, but I’d murder for a good steak and kidney pudding or transport café bubble and squeak.

The Center for Communicating Science
The Alan Alda Center for Communicating Science is a cross disciplinary organization founded in 2009 within Stony Brook University's School of Journalism. Its current director is Elizabeth Bass. Its goal is to help scientists learn to communicate more effectively with the public, including policymakers, students, funders and the media. It was inspired by Alan Alda, the actor, writer and science advocate, in whose honor it was renamed in 2013, and is supported by Brookhaven National Laboratory and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. The Center offers courses in communication that have been taken by more than 200 graduate students in the sciences and health professions at Stony Brook. It also conducts workshops at universities, laboratories and science meetings around the country. Many of its workshops use improvisational theater exercises to help scientists connect more directly with listeners and respond more spontaneously to their needs. In 2012, Alda and the Center issued the "Flame Challenge", asking scientists to come up with the best explanation for a flame for an intended audience of 11 year olds.

MITCHELLVILLE, Md. — The subject, yet again, was motherhood and work. Over tea and hors d'oeuvres in this affluent Washington suburb, a cluster of well-educated women gathered to discuss the work-life debate.
Most in the roomful of lawyers, technology experts, corporate managers and entrepreneurs had read dispatches from the so-called "mommy wars," the books and articles grounded in the gulch between working and stay-at-home mothers.
But for the women in attendance -- all of them black -- those discussions inevitably fell short. "They don't speak to my reality," said Robin Rucker Gaillard, 41, a lawyer and mother of two. "We don't generally have the time or luxury for the guilt and competition that some white mothers engage in."
Around the country black women are opting out of the "opt-out" debate, the often-heated exchange about the compatibility of motherhood and work. Steeped in issues such as working versus staying at home, nannies versus day care and the benefits or garish excess of $800 strollers, the discussion has become a hot topic online, in newspapers and in book publishing.
It is not that black mothers do not wrestle with some of the same considerations as white mothers. But interviews with more than two dozen women suggest that the discussions as portrayed in books and the news media often lack the nuances and complexities particular to their experience.
For professional black women, debates about self-fulfillment can seem incomprehensibly narrow against the need to build sustainable wealth and security for their families. The discussions also pale in comparison with worries about shielding sons and daughters from the perils that black children face growing up, and overlook the practical pull of extended families in need of financial support.
Gaillard and others had gathered to broaden the working-mother debate by discussing a new book, "I'm Every Woman: Remixed Stories of Marriage, Motherhood and Work."
A broad approach
Equal parts memoir, history lesson and cultural critique, the book, by Lonnae O'Neal Parker, a reporter for The Washington Post and a mother of three, celebrates the balancing act practiced by black women.
Published in November by Amistad, an imprint of HarperCollins, it takes a sometimes wrenching, sometimes joyful look at black motherhood from slavery and the great migration to suburbia, the corporate workplace and the ascendancy of hip-hop. And since it came out, O'Neal Parker has been invited to gatherings around the country by black women eager to talk about motherhood on their own terms.
"It was a breath of fresh air to have a conversation that resonated with me," said Pamela Walker, 41, a professor at Northwestern Business College in Chicago. A married mother of six, she attended a reading of "I'm Every Woman" at Sensual Steps, a shoe boutique in the predominantly black Bronzeville section on the South Side of Chicago. "My family can afford expensive things, but why would I think about spending hundreds on a stroller when I could help a cousin buy textbooks for college? That is not my world."
Black mothers have traditionally worked in higher percentages than white women. And educated black mothers are still more likely to work than their white counterparts. According to census data from March 2005, 83.7 percent of college-educated black women with children younger than 18 are in the labor force, compared with 74 percent of college-educated white mothers.
Census figures from 2005 also show that college-educated black women earn slightly more than their white counterparts, largely because they are more likely to stay in the work force and work longer hours than white women after having children.
The commitment of black women to work is in large part economically driven. They have lower marriage rates than white women, meaning they are more likely to be single parents. Those who are married are more likely than their white counterparts to earn more than their husbands, census figures show.
Some white working-class and middle-class women have complained that both sides of the opt-out debate have an elitist tone. Recently members of a group called Latina Mami in Austin, Texas, vented about the lack of perspective in many of the motherhood books in bookstores.
Some insiders in the battles have acknowledged the narrowness of public discourse. "The conflict seems to be pretty much driven by white upper-middle-class angst, and the debate has been taken over by that," said Leslie Morgan Steiner, a white mother of three and the editor of "Mommy Wars," an anthology of essays to be published by Random House next month.
Other cultures' views
Steiner's book includes essays from O'Neal Parker and two other black writers, as well as a Pakistani mother who writes of her struggles with child care, and a Latina who was introduced to stay-at-home mothering through a bout with cancer.

Criminal case against Huan Guaido || Breaking News, 4th of April, 2019
The United States are ready to confront Russia in Cuba, Venezuela, and the entire Western Hemisphere — said the US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. “It is a pity that the previous administration of the United States allowed Russia to spread its influence in Cuba, and the rest of the Western Hemisphere. We are very focused on fixing it. Venezuela is one of such places. We can see the Russian influence in other places as well. I will visit this region during the next week, and talk about this threat”- TASS quotes Mike Pompeo. “I tried to convince Russia that Venezuela isn’t in their interests, but I failed. Now we will use other methods, just so Venezuela can get a well-deserved democracy without the negative influence of Cuba and Russia» — the US Secretary of State concluded.
A criminal case against the Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaydo, who declared himself an interim president, has been opened in Venezuela — Interfax reports. The process will be done by the Supreme Court and the Attorney General of the country. As stated by a member of the National Assembly of Venezuela, García Serpa, “a decision regarding Huan Guaydo will be made by the legal system, based on the evidence”. According to him, Huan Guaydo «must answer for everything he did, and for the betrayal of the homeland». Earlier Huan Guaydo was deprived of his parliamentary immunity by the decision of the National Assembly of Venezuela, and by the recommendation of the country’s Supreme Court. Huan Guaydo, after the announcement of this decision, declared that he won’t stop his fight against the authorities.
The US Vice President Mike Pence announced that Turkish purchase of the Russian S-400 AA systems is a serious concern for Washington and it poses a threat to the unity of the NATO. “Turkey needs to choose whether it wants to remain a key partner of the most successful military alliance in history, or risk the reliability of this partnership by making such decision that undermines our alliance” — he said on Wednesday at the Atlantic Council. According to him, Turkish purchase of the Russian AA air systems represents a serious threat to NATO. In turn, the vice-president of Turkey Fuat Oktay replied that Ankara also offers Washington a choice — «to remain an ally of Turkey, or risk the friendship by joining forces with the terrorists». According to Ankara, the actions of the US «undermine the defense of their NATO ally against their enemies», by which he meant the US support given to the Syrian Kurds, whom Ankara considers to be terrorists.
The House of Commons of the British Parliament, by a margin of one vote, supported the idea of postponing of the Brexit — RIA NEWS reports. A bill was put for the vote, according to which the UK government will have to ask for a delay in order to avoid the Brexit without a deal. Now London will have to ask the EU to postpone Brexit, if the deal won’t be approved by the British Parliament by 12th of April. In the case of approval of the bill by the House of Lords — The head of the UK government, Theresa May, will decide for how long the Brexit will be postponed.
The EU rejects the decision of the Constitutional Assembly of Venezuela to deprive the opposition leader Juan Guaydo of his parliamentary immunity — the EU diplomacy chief Federica Mogherini stated on Thursday in Brussels. “The EU rejects the decision of the unrecognized Constitutional Assembly to abolish Juan Guaydo’s parliamentary immunity. This decision is a serious violation of the Venezuelan constitution, as well as the rule of the law, and the separation of the powers, since the only body that is authorized to revoke the parliamentary immunity is the National Assembly». On Wednesday, the National Constitutional Assembly of Venezuela decided to deprive Huan Guaido of his parliamentary immunity. After that, a criminal case was opened against Huan Guaydo.
The NATO enhance their nuclear component during military exercises. This was stated by the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Grushko. “We can see that lately the NATO has been enhancing the nuclear component in the exercises, conducted both by the alliance itself, and by its separate countries” — TASS quotes his words. In particular, he noted, the US strategic bombers were involved in the NATO exercises, and they «flew in the areas extremely important for the Russian security interests». According to the Deputy Foreign Minister — the number of exercises “with the use of nuclear weapons” gets bigger. On Wednesday, the US bombers, during the exercises, performed training nuclear strikes on Russia.

Acquisition helps stocks
NEW YORK – The stock market notched another record close Monday after a big acquisition in the food industry. Hope for a longer-term budget deal in Washington also helped.
Food distributor Sysco rose the most in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index after the company announced an agreement to buy rival US Foods in an $8.2 billion deal. Sysco’s stock jumped $3.31, or 9.7 percent, to $37.62.
Stocks extended a rally from Friday that was driven by a report of solid U.S. job gains. That boosted investor confidence that the economy was growing strongly enough to handle any pullback in the Federal Reserve’s economic stimulus.
The S&P 500 index climbed 3.28 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,808.37. That put the index a point above its previous record close of 1,807.23 set Nov. 27.
Other indexes also made small gains. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 5.33 points, less than 0.1 percent, to 16,025.53. The Nasdaq composite increased 6.23 points, or 0.2 percent, to 4,068.75.
Stocks were also supported by reports that U.S. lawmakers were moving closer to reaching a longer-term budget deal, said Bill Stone, chief investment strategist at PNC Wealth Management Group.
Dick Durbin, the No. 2 Democrat in the Senate, said Sunday on ABC that budget negotiations are making progress and moving in the right direction.
The stock market stuttered in October after political wrangling over the budget caused a 16-day partial government shutdown that crimped economic growth and hurt consumer confidence.
A budget deal “could be viewed as positive, in the sense that it is putting to bed one more possible disruption,” Stone said.
In other corporate news, American Airlines rose 65 cents, or 2.7 percent, to $24.60 on the company’s first day of trading after completing its merger with US Airways.
There were no major economic reports for investors to focus on.

The snow has begun to melt. Today, temperatures were above 0 (Celsius, here). The sun was out, I even had my some of our windows cracked open for a brief period of time! It really helped to freshen thing up. Music was cranked, did some “Spring Cleaning”…it was a productive day. Yesterday was daylight savings time and it’s so nice to have our longer evenings back again. It’s not dark right after supper!! 🙂 Spring will be here soon enough and the Winter blahs will be gone away!
We’re especially looking forward to this season because there are some exciting changes on the horizon. Matt will be graduating, and will start working in his new career as a firefighter. We both have birthdays in April, and Matt is turning the big 3-0 ! We are also moving in the next several weeks. Lots of changes ahead, a lot to be excited about! 🙂
What do you do to get ready for Spring? Care to share? What do you love most about the season?

I get emails from time to time, and as I have said earlier, they tend to ask overly broad questions that can’t be answered in less than a book. One question I recently got was “Where can I meet ‘regular’ chicas?” Although it wasn’t explicitly stated, I assume they mean girls whom they can pick up and won’t charge them for sex.
All other things being equal, “not paying” is better than “paying.” In my younger days, my twenties and early thirties, I was fortunate to encounter, here and there, women who had sex with me and it was all free. A few even invited me over for a free meal before the sex. Ah, those were the days, my friend.
Time has taken its toll on my sex appeal, alas, and the few ladies who might still be interested in me tend to be “full figured” grandmothers looking for somebody to help with the gardening and go antique shopping on Sundays. So far I have resisted the temptation.
You, on the other hand, may still be young and smooth enough to pick up a Latina on her home turf. If you aren’t totally over the hill, you may have the ‘exotic’ factor going for you. It’s probably worth more in less touristy places than in places where gringos are commonplace. You’d be more of a novelty in Cali, Colombia than you would in Cancun, for example. On the flip side of the coin, your chances aren’t so good if you don’t dance or speak some Spanish. And if you do meet someone in a bar setting, you should be prepared to buy more than your own drinks.
The guy who “wrote the book” on this is a guy called “Roosh V” who seems to have dedicated himself to bedding foreign women and writing about it. He even has a book on picking up women in Colombia. It has some tips and observations that might be useful to guys who don’t want to pay, for whatever reason. Considering the low cost of the ‘pros’ here and the fact that I’m past my prime, I don’t bother.
On the positive side, if you decide to pursue non-pros, you’re not going to suffer from blue balls for long if you have even $15 left over. There are plenty of “casas” that will be happy to relieve your frustration. Let me know how you make out.

Early on, to support its business needs with regards to geospatial data, WSSC had built a system using software from many traditional GIS vendors that lacked integration and support for many vital business processes. In 2006 WSSC moved all enterprise data to Oracle Spatial (vector and raster data) and implemented the Leica Geosystems' ADE suite.

Gustavo Neves de Andrade Lemes, Consultant, Sete Serviços
Fernando Targa, Development Director, GEMPI
To meet information demand concerning income and job generation programs implemented by Brazil’s Federal District Economic Development Office (SDE), the Federal District Planning Company developed the Urban Areas Management System (SIGAU). Local areas are evaluated through performance indexes that take into account urban features, land plot, block and district, and analysis/simulation of a large volume of data from many governmental offices and systems. Thematic maps enable follow up and decision making on current programs. Oracle Spatial, GeoRaster and MapViewer provide a safe, high performance implementation platform. A demo will be shown.
Creation, Publication & Update of Maps out of Databases
Sebastien Lanoe, Product Marketing Manager, Lorienne SA
Jean-Pascal Butte Business Development Manager. Lorienne SA
The production of maps out of GIS databases is often a challenging process. Lorienne innovates with a new map production environment for map creation, map publication and map updates from Oracle Spatial, with a focus on high quality, production cost, data integrity and diversification of map products across media. The case study with Tele Atlas data stored in Oracle Spatial will address the benefits, the level of quality, the efficiency of the production process and its dedicated user-friendly environment.
Reengineering Desktop Thick Workgroups into Web Rich Enterprise Clients
Bryan Hall, Spatial Architect, L-3 Communications
Jeff Walawender, Senior Software Engineer, L-3 Communications
Cost cutting requires reengineering spatial solutions to directly address business requirements. But enterprise computing for spatial data has, with even "Web 2.0", required the user to lose the responsiveness and feedback that traditional desktop thick client GIS software has provided. We took a different approach in the re-engineering effort and concentrated on making it work as much like a traditional desktop thick client - while simplifying use, making editing more reliable, and actually speeding up rendering. All this, while only supporting one versioned Oracle Spatial database, and application tier for all users.

MANILA, Philippines - Pauline del Rosario bucked a double-bogey mishap on No. 17 and nipped ICTSI teammate Princess Superal by one to rule the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final despite a closing 75 at the Mission Hills Golf Club’s Faldo Course in Shenzen, China late Thursday.
Del Rosario, who built a huge five-stroke lead over Superal after two rounds with 72 and 69, went six-up with a birdie on No. 4 but wavered as she lost her rhythm and putting touch, dropping strokes on Nos. 7 and 9 before holing out with a 6 on the par-4 17th for a 37-38 card.
But Superal and erstwhile second running Minami Hiruta of Japan failed to pounce on Del Rosario’s shaky windup with the former hitting just two birdies against a bogey for a 71 and the latter faring ever worse with a five-over 77.
Del Rosario, who topped the 13-14 category in last year’s Junior World, wound up with a 54-hole total of 216 to pocket the girls’ 16-and-under crown in the annual event which featured the region’s top junior players in various age brackets.
The win was a follow-up to Del Rosario’s wire-to-wire triumph in the DHL Open in Canlubang last month with the De La Salle-Zobel student eyeing more victories in various international competitions this summer.
“The victory is a big boost to Pauline’s game and confidence. But she has to toughen up and must keep her focus at all times,” said Team ICTSI coach Bong Lopez.
Superal, the reigning SEA Games gold medalist who dominated the Kuala Lumpur Amateur Open three weeks ago, settled for second with a 217, missing forcing a playoff with a flubbed birdie putt from 10 feet on the 18th but sealing a 1-2 finish by the Team ICTSI bets.
Hiruta, who birdied the opening hole but stumbled with four bogeys and a double-bogey, placed third with a 222.
Del Rosario also tied for fifth with China’s Zheng Kai Bai in the overall standing of the Faldo Series Asia Challenge Trophy, which included all players regardless of age and gender, topped by Japan’s Mikumu Horikawa, who had a 207 after a 68.

Everyone gets overwhelmed with life from time to time. Whether it’s family stress, workplace challenges, or personal problems, everybody feels down once in a while.
If that feeling doesn’t go away, though, it could be a sign of depression. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, “Depression… is a common but serious mood disorder. It causes severe symptoms that affect how you feel, think, and handle daily activities, such as sleeping, eating, or working.”
Unfortunately, many people experience depression at some point in their lives. In the US, it is one of the most common mental disorders. And depression doesn’t discriminate — people of all ages, genders, and races can suffer from it.
Although it’s a common disorder, many people have misconceptions about depression. One woman, Brittany Ernsperger, took to Facebook to explain how depression makes her feel. She shared a photo of clean dishes on her counter and explained, “This is what depression looks like.”
Brittany Ernsperger took to Facebook to share what her experience with depression has been like. Her post quickly got a lot of attention. Now it has over 268,000 reactions and over 325,000 shares.
“This is what depression looks like.
“No. Not the clean dishes.
“But that there were that many dishes in the first place; that I’ve gone 2 weeks without doing them.”
“3 days ago I sat on the kitchen floor and stared at them while I cried. I knew they needed to be done. I wanted to do them so bad.”
“But depression pulled me under. It sucked me in. Like a black hole. Rapidly, sinking quick-sand.”
“I walked by them morning and night and all day long. And just looked at them. Telling myself that I could do them. Telling myself that I would. And feeling defeated everyday that I didn’t. Making the depression only that much worse because not accomplishing something that needs to be done is failure.”
“Worthless. Failure. Piece of sh*t. Incompetent. Stupid. Lazy.
“All things that roll through the mind of someone with depression. All. Day. Long.”
“Throw anxiety on top of it, and you’ve got yourself a real treat.
“Being scared your husband will leave because he thinks you’re lazy. Being scared to let people into your home because they’ll think you’re nasty. Feeling like you’re failing your kids because for the 3rd night in a row you don’t have any clean dishes to cook dinner on.. so pizza it is. Again.”
“And the worst part of it all, it’s not just with the dishes. The laundry, cleaning, dressing yourself, taking a shower, dressing your kids, brushing your and their teeth, normal everyday tasks. It all becomes a nightmare. A very daunting task. Somedays it doesn’t get done at all.”
“Depression is something that ‘strong’ people don’t talk about because they don’t want people to think they’re ‘weak’.”
“You’re not weak. You’ve been strong for so long and through so many things, that your body needs a break.”
“I don’t even care if the only thing you did today, was put deodorant on. I’m proud of you for it. Good job. I’m in your corner. I’m on your side.”
“I’m not looking for sympathy, not in the slightest.
“But I am letting everyone know that I’m here for you. I get it. If you need someone to talk to, I’m always here to help.”
When Brittany saw how much her words resonated with others, she updated her post to include a final message:
“I wasn’t expecting this to get as much love as it has gotten.”
“Ladies, if you’re feeling this way, send me a friend request. I’ll do my best to help you or get you the help you need. We’ll figure it out together.
“We can only help one another by lifting each other up. I’m here for you.”

Hypnotherapy is the name given to therapeutic interventions involving an induced state of trance or Hypnosis.
In order to protect itself from outside interference, the mind develops a series of ‘guards’ around itself. When a person is in a state of Hypnosis (trance) these barriers weaken. This allows the Hypnotherapist to make suggestions that allow the client to change in a variety of constructive and beneficial ways. Hypnosis is the process that is used to get beyond these guards in order to make the necessary changes in values, attitudes or behaviour.
There are many and varied definitions of Hypnosis and the trance state, hut basically it is a mental state that is different to the one normally experienced. It is a state where attention is turned inwards and in which conscious awareness of the “real” world changes. It is in this state, with the conscious awareness distracted, that the deeper levels of the mind can he accessed and motivated to change in a way that is perfectly natural to the subject.
Hypnosis is a natural phenomenon, and as such the experience is familiar to most people. (Even if it does not exactly match their preconceptions of hypnosis). Everyone does in fact go into a natural trance state several times a day. It is the mind’s way of taking time out to process experience and learning.
Many people ask “What does it feel like”. Well, you can ask twenty good hypnotic subjects what they experience in trance and you will probably get eighteen different answers! Each person has to experience it for him/herself. It can generally be experienced as being rather like day dreaming. Awake but not awake. Aware but not aware.
A skilled Hypnotherapist tailors the induction process to suit the individual client’s needs and beliefs. It might be a lengthy process utilising the client’s imagination, a direct or authoritarian approach that demands compliance with the Hypnotherapist’s wishes or more likely a gentle permissive set of requests that match the client’s expectations. Sometimes no actual words are used and sometimes touching the client’s body non invasively. In the latter case the Hypnotherapist will explain the need to touch and ask permission for so doing.
All in all it is usually a very enjoyable experience with no side effects other than the resolution of undesirable personal issues.
Questions about Hypnosis
In as much as the subject allows him/herself to go into a trance, the Hypnotist does guide the subject’s thoughts and actions, but even then, only as much as the subject is prepared to allow it to happen.
No. If used ethically and expertly, it is completely safe.
In Queensland, the Health Rights Commission, which is the Government body charged with handling all complaints against Health Care Practitioners, including Hypnotherapists, reports that since its inception in 1992 there have been no substantiated complaints involving the use of hypnotherapy as provided by Complementary Health Care Practitioners.
However, to ensure the continuing professional use of Hypnotherapy we
recommend that people seeking help should only consult properly trained
Practitioners, and ones who belongs to a recognised Professional
Association such as AAPHAN.
Intending Practitioners should study with trainers who are also dedicated and recognised practitioners with years of practical experience behind them. AAPHAN provides a list of Registered Training Schools that it recognises as providing appropriate practitioner training.
We also recommend that you belong to an organisation such as AAPHAN, where you can rely on continuing support and help.
Yes, but it takes longer to induce trance in some people, and some people go into trance deeper than others.
change unacceptable habits
improve personal performance
lead a healthier life
train the client in relaxation techniques
remove fears anxieties and phobias
reduce stress etc
In everyday life people can only gain true experience by doing
things, and then retaining memories of the actual experience of ‘doing’.
Thus we learn by experiencing.
We recall the original event by remembering how we experienced it with our senses. The Hypnotherapist is an expert in communication at all levels, who uses his/her skills to help the client recall or create a specific sensory experience and use it to maximum advantage.
The process requires active participation by the client. The past cannot he changed, but the way people react and respond to memories of it can be. Thus the influence of the past can be reshaped or changed, and the future made more desirable and attractive.

A day or two after Max was born I realized I was famished. Starving. And very, very thirsty. I felt as if I hadn’t eaten or had anything to drink in days when in reality I had a full meal an hour before. The sensation was nothing new; after all, I’d just finished growing a baby. But, this was different. I think I even wrote something on my Facebook wall about how I was far more thirsty and hungry during the initial weeks of breastfeeding than I was when I was while pregnant.
My diet has never been ideal, but when pregnant and nursing I’m more aware that food is a way to nourish my body. When you’re body is growing a baby and/or creating milk to feed another, you become acutely aware that food has a purpose beyond tasting good. Because, I’ll be honest, when I’m not “eating for two” I have a less than a stellar diet. I tend to eat food because it tastes good and not because it’s good for me. For example, I’m pretty sure I existed exclusively on Baked Lay’s and Mike and Ikes during law school. While those still rank among my favorite foods, they are sadly not found in my diaper bag.
Instead, my favorite breakfast is now oatmeal with brown sugar, almonds and dried cranberries. A vast improvement over eating nothing, I’d say. And my snack of choice is… whatever is in the pantry. I try to plan ahead and keep peanut butter crackers or something similar in my diaper bag for when we’re out and about, but I’d be lying if I didn’t tell you I hit the Starbucks drive through for a delicious decaf coffee drink when I need a quick something. They’re surprisingly filling, totally addictive and, I realize, horrible for me.
I try not to worry about the number on the scale or even how big I feel when pregnant. Now that I’m struggling to fit into regular clothes… who am I kidding? I’m totally still wearing maternity pants, but I am nearing the point where I need to consider what I’m eating, not just for baby but also for me. After all, a healthy, happy mama is a good mama.

A plush mattress is the perfect cross between a pillow-top mattress and a firm one. It gives you lots of great support with a good deal of cushioning on top so that it conforms to the shape of your body. The Comfort Scale for a Sealy mattress -- and really, for most mattresses -- depends on the cushioning on the top of the mattress. Most companies make their mattresses with the same or similar support systems, so no matter what you think is the most comfortable, you should get the same support from all of them.
In the end, the mattress you choose should be the one that is the most comfortable to you. A Sealy plush mattress is a good choice because it provides a middle ground for many sleepers -- so if you and your partner have different sleeping styles, this is a great decision. US-Mattress offers the widest variety and best prices on Sealy mattresses, so make sure you get the best deal possible by shopping at our store.

He was the president and director of the Louvre in Paris from 2013 to 2021.
Jean-Luc Martinez has been charged in connection with an investigation into Egyptian artifacts that were trafficked over the past decade.
Under the French legal system, the charges indicate that investigators suspect him of involvement in a crime but he may not necessarily stand trial. The charges could be dropped at any point if the police uncover new evidence. Complex legal investigations often take several years to unfold in France.
Lawyers for the 58-year old say Martinez is saving his statements for the judiciary, and he has no doubt that his good faith will be established,”
The charges represent a stunning turn of events for Martinez, who is France’s official ambassador for international cooperation on heritage issues. He also spearheaded efforts to safeguard artifacts at risk of looting and destruction in conflict zones during his time at the Louvre.

Slow Cooker Ribs
“This shop is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Weave Made Media® and Farmland/Smithfield, but all my opinions are my own. #weavemade #ReadySetRibs http://my-disclosur.es/RgFrEH“
It’s hard to believe we are more than halfway through 2014 already. Where has the first half gone?? Before you know it, we will all be in full holiday shopping mode, which we love. Slow down, Matt. I know, I know. I get like that though. I should say, “we” get like that. Anxious for special moments and memories. Naomi and I love being parents and enjoy making every moment special with and for our boys. And this weekend was no different.
Two baseball tournaments for the boys, 25 miles apart, but thanks to our awesome friends (& neighbors), we made it work. While the tournaments haven’t been a big success so far, we make sure our boys play “in the moment” and look at the big picture. While we love to win, it’s not always about that. I am a coach, but I am first and foremost a dad, and it’s important for the boys to learn that life has its up and downs, lots of both in fact. It’s how they deal with both, especially adversity, that will build character and help them develop a good attitude. Which is what we always tell the boys – a good attitude will get you far in life. Am I right?
So knowing that we had no time whatsoever this weekend to spend in the kitchen, and having a serious craving for some good ol’ ribs, I ran to Wal-Mart late last night and grabbed some Farmland “All Natural” Ribs. All Farmland pork is proudly raised in the U.S.A. and their fresh cuts are free from artificial ingredients and preservatives and minimally processed. That is super important to us when choosing our foods.
I threw the ribs in the slow cooker this morning, along with an incredible sauce I put together, made of Kraft Original BBQ sauce, paprika, chili powder and brown sugar (an awesome combination). And yeah, the losses were tough today, really tough, but walking into our home, seeing Naomi and our baby, and then being completely surrounded by the smell of ribs, my mood changed for the better in an instant. I pulled them out of the slow cooker and transferred them to the broiler and gave them one last brushing of sauce. This gave them a crisp, caramelized coating.
The 4 of us sat at the table and were blown away by these ribs! Cole is not a big fan of meat on the bone. No worries there, I had that covered. The meat from these ribs literally slid off the bone with the slightest touch and both of us could not stop devouring one after the next. Our fingers were covered in sauce, and it was hilarious watching Cole lick his clean. He’s such a neat freak and couldn’t believe we didn’t mind him doing that. It made it so fun for him!
And guess what? I actually found an hour over the weekend to actually clean my grill! So you can expect several grilling posts over the next couple of months. Count on that. And definitely on my list soon is the Farmland “All Natural” Tenderloin. How perfect does that sound for a warm, summer weekend evening after a day at the pool with the kids? And by the way, if you’re looking for some grilling inspiration as we head into the 4th of July holiday weekend, head on over to readysetribs.com, where the BBQ Pitmasters there share some awesome grilling tips.
Then, before your trip to Wal-Mart to pick up some of these Farmland ribs, be sure to go to www.coupons.com, where you’ll find a coupon for $1 off Farmland/Smithfield “All Natural” Ribs (while supplies last).

During a routine traffic stop Sunday, Decatur County Sheriff's deputies say they smelled a strong odor of marijuana pouring from a red Saturn.
When Deputies searched the five men inside the vehicle they found one of the passengers, Andre Sanders, was carrying a bag full of marijuana along with 67-individually wrapped bags of the drugs.
Sanders informed the officers that there was a book-bag inside the trunk containing several bricks of marijuana. Sanders admitted that he brought the drugs on a bus all the way from California.
Andre Sanders is being charged with felony possession of marijuana with intent to distribute.

Catechetical Guild, 1947.
After a two year hiatus, the contest was reinstated under the joint leadership of the Antiquarian Booksellers’ Association of America (ABAA), the Fellowship of American Bibliophilic Societies, the Center for the Book, and the Rare Books and Special Collections Division of the Library of Congress, with major support from the Jay I.

TIPS: Buying, cleaning and preparing Mussels
As a general rule, do not buy mussels which are open or have broken shells.
Scrape the shells with a small knife to remove algae, small barnacles, etc. Then
plunge them into a basin of cold running water and brush the shells or rub them
briskly and noisilly one against the other to get them nice and clean. If you
let them stand in water, they will open and loose their natural juices. Discard
any mussels which float to the top of the water. Once the cleaning is finished,
remove the "beard" or small tuft protruding from the mussel on its
straight flank, by drawing this outwards towards the rounded end, so as to
remove the beard and its inner attachment. The mussels are ready for cooking.

When you think of the Tampa Bay Lightning there are three players that instantly come to mind. Steven Stamkos, Vincent Lecavalier and Martin St. Louis. While some might argue it would be in that order, it’s difficult to argue that St. Louis helped put hockey on the map in sunny Tampa Bay. A staple of sorts to the franchise, it’s difficult to imagine the Lightning ever parting ways with the veteran who helped deliver a Stanley Cup in 2004.
But for the Lightning, the time may be now to deal their former franchise player in St. Louis and look to restock the cupboards with prospects and youth. I say former franchise player because it’s clear that this is now Steven Stamkos’ team.
Currently sitting in twelfth place in the east and six points back of eighth, the Lightning don’t look promising when it comes to making the playoffs. That’s where the idea of trading St. Louis comes in courtesy of Damian Cristodero of the Tampa Bay Times.
Cristodero is quick to point out that this is merely speculation on his behalf, but he does bring up some intriguing points surrounding the situation.
St. Louis is 37-years old and while he’s still putting up terrific numbers, Cristodero wonders if now is the ideal time to move him. The old “strike while the iron is hot” mentality. This season St. Louis has 7 goals and 30 assists in 28 games which is impressive to say the least.
Considered a late bloomer, the Laval, Quebec native has averaged 85 points a season over the past 8 years and would be a hot commodity if he was to be made available at this year’s deadline. A proven playoff performer with an average greater than a point per game in throughout his career in the postseason, St. Louis is the type of player that many clubs would love to add for the spring dance.
He does carry a fairly large but reasonable salary and cap hit at $5.625 million per year through the 2014-15 season. But with the production that he’s put out over the latter stages of his career, one could argue that his salary has him grossly underpaid.
While St. Louis would surely attract a large and healthy return for the Lightning there are some things to consider, mainly the full, no-trade clause that St. Louis has and would have to waive “if” Steve Yzerman came to him with a potential trade in place.
Of course it would be difficult for Yzerman to entertain the thought of dealing St. Louis, one of the club’s top performers and fan favorites.
But this is where Cristodero makes some relevant and valid points about the idea of moving the former Art Ross Trophy winner. He notes that when St. Louis signed his extension in the summer of 2010 it was under the notion that the club would remain competitive and “move in a positive direction.”
This season would mark it the second straight year with no playoffs in Tampa Bay and you have to wonder if that is weighing on Marty’s mind.
Cristodero makes reference to the eight roster players that are currently playing in Tampa Bay that spent last year in the AHL. Combine that with the fact that the club has committed to making Anders Lindback their number one netminder and suddenly the notion of rebuilding becoming more and more evident.
St. Louis is not getting any younger and would no doubt love another shot at getting his name on Lord Stanley. Winning a second cup in Tampa Bay doesn’t appear to be in the cards for St. Louis and he may have to start exploring his external options if he wants that second ring.
It’s hard to fathom the Tampa Bay Lightning trading Martin St. Louis. He’s the type of player that you can see retiring in the jersey that has meant so much to his career. But sometimes business takes precedent over personal feelings and in this case, making the deal might make too much sense not to make.

I actually visited in August 2012. I was not at all familiar with the brand BOLS nor the entire product of "genever" before this visit. In the end, I learned a lot and found it very interesting that genever was the predecessor to gin which was invented in the UK. I became a quick fan of BOLS Jonge Genever which had a really nice grain like taste, quite different from the Christmas tree taste of gin. I also learned that BOLS is very popular worldwide with bartenders due to the shape of the bottles, which resemble juggling pins, don't you think? I'm sure this makes them easier to manipulate for performance mixology. I was surprised with all the flavors of schnapps and liqueurs they produce, but the oddest one and my new favorite was their Natural Joghurt Liqueur which was creamy, nice slight sweet vanilla background, 15% alcohol content and will not curdle. I am so happy this can now be bought in the USA! If you haven't tried this product and have a chance to, you owe it to yourself to try a sample and maybe you'll be as surprised as I was. Overall, nice self-guided tour with tasting at the end. Discounted rates were given on the day that the Van Gogh Museum was free admission; Friday evening I believe.

January 7, 2018 (Seattle) -- PicoBrew, maker of the world’s first line of craft beer brewing appliances, introduces PicoStill™ today at CES© 2018, the first-of-its-kind, patent-pending, distilling device that now makes it possible for any homebrewer or professional brewery to create their own essential hop oils to enhance the aromas and unique flavors of beer. Licensed and properly permitted craft distillers or individuals can also use the PicoStill to produce a wide range of alcohols. PicoStill is one of several new devices PicoBrew is introducing at CES that have turned their line of craft beer appliances into a full countertop brewery and the ultimate kitchen appliance.
“PicoStill is an exciting next step for us,” said Dr. Bill Mitchell, CEO, PicoBrew. “Just as we pioneered the craft brewing appliance space 5 years ago with breakthrough professional-grade brewing innovation, now we are pioneering the small batch distillation space with innovative, professional distilling equipment.”.
PicoStill will be demonstrated at CES Unveiled, Table #51, and CES attendees can be among the first to see this breakthrough product in operation at the show by visiting Booth #40125 in the Sands Expo at Tech West (Smart Home Section). Samples of fresh Pico-brewed craft beer from their award-winning brewery partners will be provided all day, every day during the show.
PicoStill incorporates precision temperature control and safest modern technology to make distillation both simple and safe. PicoStill is a modern vacuum still that mitigates inherently dangerous situations produced when alcohol vapors are near open flames or other sources of ignition by using indirect heating sources and operating under vacuum to reduce temperatures and prevent flammable vapor leaks. It also incorporates patent-pending mechanisms to make distillation even safer, such as heating that shuts off automatically if the vacuum seal is broken and a custom methanol collection chamber to automatically isolate congeners.
“Precise, repeatable performance under tight process-control is the key to addressing traditional challenges that distillation has posed,” added Mitchell. “The PicoStill provides commercial distillers a versatile, safe, and easy to use small batch distilling solution.”
PicoStill comes with both a polished copper distillation column and clear glass infusion chamber. The large infusion chamber is crucial for essential oil extraction and designing flavored spirits. Water-extraction hop oils can be produced in less than an hour, and infused into the beer compared to dry hopping which can take up to a week. In addition to hops, PicoStill can also distill water, herbs, spices, grains and more.
PicoStill is compatible with all of PicoBrew’s line of Pico brewing appliances and it is currently available for pre-order at the discount price of $249 vs. the PicoStill MSRP of$349.
Pico Model C
PicoBrew’s booth will also feature the Pico Model C, the second-generation craft beer brewing appliance that further simplifies the brewing and cleaning process.
“Anyone who has ever homebrewed is aware of the significant investment in time and money that goes into home brewing,” offered Mitchell. “The Pico C features technology and new accessories that solve the most common issues that stand in the way of making great beer at home, opening the door for anyone to be part of the craft beer making community.”
The Pico Model C features a completely reimagined 2-piece brewing keg that has a simplified hose connection and is dishwasher-safe. The PicoFerm, a new Wi-Fi connected smart fermentation device, attaches to the Pico Model C keg and uses patent-pending technology to closely monitor the fermentation progress until the exact time the beer is ready to carbonate and drink. PicoFerm monitors a variety of factors, including temperature and pressure inside the keg, to accurately predict fermentation progress and sends alerts to correct variables that might prevent the user from getting the perfect result. For data geeks, users can also track their brewing progress, plus see a detailed report of their fermentation progress, through the BrewHouse portal on PicoBrew.com.
Pico Model C is currently available at PicoBrew.com and in-store and online at leading national retailers. Pico Model C MSRP: $549.
PicoFerm is currently available at special early-order pricing at PicoBrew.com. PicoFerm MSRP: $59.
Over 100 Recipes from Award-Winning Breweries
Pico uses compostable PicoPaks, which contain the fresh, pre-measured hops and grains needed to brew fresh, brewery-quality craft beer every time. With the push of a button, Pico Model C recognizes the PicoPak inserted and follows brewing process instructions transmitted over a home Wi-Fi connection. Pico Model C brews five liters of craft beer in about two hours. Beer is then fermented and carbonated, and in 7-14 days it is ready to chill and serve!
Pico users can now select from over 100 PicoPaks from award-winning craft breweries all over the world including the US, Germany, Belgium, Canada, Italy, and Central and South America. For those who want more customization, users can build a custom PicoPak using the online Freestyle tool in the BrewMarketplace. Pico Model C users can also brew Kombucha.
PicoBrew, and its line of brewery appliances have been recipients of numerous awards over the years including being named among Fast Company’s The World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies in 2017 and CES Innovation Awards Honoree for Eco-Design and Sustainable Technologies in 2017 and Home Appliances in 2016.
PicoBrew was founded in Seattle in 2010 by brothers Bill and Jim Mitchell, a former Microsoft executive and food scientist, along with engineer Avi Geiger. Combining their food science and technology expertise with their passion for homebrewing, they set out to improve the craft beer brewing process for small producers and homebrewers. PicoBrew introduced its flagship product, the award-winning Zymatic® automatic beer-brewing appliance for beer brewing professionals and homebrewers, in 2013. The Pico™, designed for consumer craft beer enthusiasts, followed in 2016. Both product lines are designed to improve the precision, repeatability and overall quality of the brewing process to create consistently delicious craft beer.

What you see above is the pitch that was smacked out of the yard by Matt Carpenter. It might have been the start of his physical problems which culminated in an oblique strain. Three days later, Swarzak has been placed on the disabled list. The Mets are ahead of the curve these days, as three days between injury and disabled list is a lot better than the weeks the Mets would let injured players take up a roster spot and go through weeks at a time with a 21 man roster.
Of course, you know what that means:
That’s right. Hansel is back. Time will tell if we will long for the empty roster spot.

BIKE LANE LOVEETB1011
This card idea was the collaboration of our cardmaker Eric Thompson-Bey and Topaz Terry, the owner of Bicycle Trash. "My main mode of transportation is a bicycle," declares Eric. "So it drives me nuts when people park in the bike lane. It's dangerous for cyclists." Topaz, who takes discarded bicycle parts and turns them into high-quality accessories, supports Eric's efforts. "I'm honored to work with him. His cards use simple, straightforward words and images to grab ahold of your heart and squeeze out all the feels." When he's not dodging vehicles, Eric is trying to keep his bike safe. He's lost two bicycles to theft recently. "I'm going to use some money from this card to get me a proper lock," he says. Eric has been homeless several times from 1997 to 2016. Currently, he has housing and is working hard to find better-paid employment in our nation's capital.
Eric receives 15% of the sales from this card. Second Story Cards also donates 10% of the profits of each card to a charity of the cardmaker's choice. Eric has chosen the Washington Area Bicyclist Association for this card.

If You Give a Pig a Pancake
by Laura Numeroff
If you give a pig a pancake, watch out! she'll want some syrup to go with it. And, of course, she'll get all sticky from the syrup and want a bath. Baths are never complete without rubber ducks, and of course ducks lead to wanting a trip to the farm.
One absurd idea leads to another, with this energetic porker putting on tap shoes, getting her picture taken as she balances atop the furniture, and sending the pictures to her friends.
On the way to mailing the pictures, she spots a tree, so she wants to build and decorate a treehouse. Wallpapering the tree house leads to sticky hands, which remind her of syrup, which of course leads full circle back to pancakes.
At the end of the story, the house is a sight to behold, and the little girl who supplied the pancake and all the other stuff is exhausted. But our exuberant pig is all set to go a second round!
If you give a child this book, she's going to laugh uproariously, and ask for more such funny stories. And the author gladly obliges. This is one of a series of "If You Give..." books, all exploring the hilarious consequences of innocuous acts of kindness - for example, if you give a mouse a cookie or if you give a moose a muffin.
If you're looking for bedtime stories for kids, this one's a sure winner. Parents and children will enjoy the increasing mayhem the pig creates as she sweeps inexorably from one activity to another. Doesn't this remind you of the chaos some kids create, that adults have to pick up after them?
Use this role-reversal story to help children understand how parents feel when they have to clean up after them, and the benefits of everyone doing their part to keep things neat and clean. On the other side of the coin, of course, are the kids who are too obliging for their own good; use this story to help them learn to say "no".
This is one of the most popular children's books, with 1 million copies sold worldwide. Get your copy from:
This book contains 4 "If You Give..." stories, including If You Give a Pig a Pancake:

If — or when — the zombie apocalypse comes, those of us in big cities are in trouble, according to research presented at the 2015 American Physical Society March meeting on March 5.
Starting in a big city like New York or Atlanta would mean you are basically screwed from the start if the epidemic had already hit there, according to Alex Alemi, a graduate student at Cornell University and part of the research team.
You are much better off being further away from people, they say, which gives you a better chance of avoiding infection. Ideally, you’d escape to an almost empty region like the Rocky Mountains.
“I’d love to see a fictional account where most of New York City falls in a day, but upstate New York has a month or so to prepare,” Alemi says in the APS press release.
Thanks, Alex. Though I’ve always wondered, if you could make it onto a boat in such a scenario, how long would you survive at sea? We are closer to water here in NYC, after all.
Alemi and colleagues used standard disease models to estimate the zombie infection rate around the US, assuming that humans would need to be infected by a zombie bite (of course). Also following standard protocol, zombies travel only by walking and wouldn’t die naturally but would need to be “killed,” presumably with a well-placed blow to the head or perhaps a katana slash.
Essentially, they used a realistic model that’s very similar to the way epidemiologists calculate the spread of other viruses, but using fictional parameters unique to zombies. They did make some assumptions, including a transportation infrastructure collapse. It’s hard to imagine airports staying operational for long in such a scenario anyway.
The video below shows how a national outbreak would play out. The top right map, susceptible humans, shows the human population that’s still able to be infected. In the green bottom right map, the “killed” zombie population grows, but as you can see in the red bottom left map, so does the infected population. The top left is a composite map of the other three.
As you can see the Rockies are the safest place to be — sparsely populated and difficult to reach.
And big population centers are the worst place to start the outbreak, though about 28 days in, they become safer as the areas that surround them become more dangerous.
Though of course, as Terrence McCoy points out at the Washington Post, if a large percentage of the population flooded any area, the risk of infection there would skyrocket.
The statistical research was inspired by a reading of Max Brooks’s “World War Z”, a book that is far better than the movie that was based on it.
They modeled out the population centers of the country and then assumed certain possible interactions, with an element of randomness. A zombie might bite and infect a human or the person might escape or kill the creature. And of course, the undead shamble onward, searching for new victims.
Also, in reality, an outbreak probably wouldn’t start all over the country, and there are some variables. The undead might be more or less aggressive or more or less mobile.
So the research team built an interactive model that allows you to simulate an outbreak, picking a starting point, a zombie-bite to zombie-kill ratio, and whether the zombies are fast or slow.
A fast-zombie outbreak in New York City would be devastating within 24 hours.
Not looking good. Physicists seem interested though. The talk was reportedly standing-room only.

USC Visual Studies Research Institute
Getting the Picture: The Visual Culture of the News
May 4-5 2014, University of Southern California
News pictures promise to make the world, through the faculty of vision, at once immediate and knowable. Few would dispute that the news picture, whether static or moving, photographic or autographic, is one of the most ubiquitous, powerful and controversial kinds of images today and that there is a long and complex history of the news picture still to be analyzed and explained.
This two-day conference seeks to classify and comprehend those pictures that are news with attention to their production and material history. The decline of print journalism, the rise of the Internet and the advent of digital photography suggest that our current moment presents an obvious turning point in the history of news pictures and yet we lack a clear narrative of its earlier history. While research has examined photojournalism through thematic priorities in the representation of historical events – war, catastrophe, atrocity, and exoticism – we seek papers that focus as much on the form, practice and material history of news pictures as on the images’ content. We are also interested in reception as it relates to contextual definitions of news and the value of its pictorial communication.
We invite submissions from junior scholars and graduate students in their final year working across all times and places on “news pictures.” Please send a 250-word abstract and CV by November 1, 2013 to firstname.lastname@example.org; include “News Pictures” in the email title. Travel and expenses will be paid. Papers will be pre-circulated and commented upon and there is an expectation that participants will read the papers of other participants (between 10-12 papers). They will be due April 25, 2014.
This conference is part of the USC Visual Studies Research Institute’s three-year project: “Visual Evidence.” The Institute houses faculty research and the Visual Studies Graduate Certificate. For more information about Visual Studies at USC, see: http://dornsife.usc.edu/vsri/.

No, not those five guys! *insert laughing hyena emoji*
This is my entry for “F” for the A to Z Challenge.
Our holiday (vacation) in the States in December (2018) ended with us driving from Orlando, Florida to New York (JFK) on the 2nd and the 3rd of January (2019). It was a good adventure.
We stopped in Baltimore, Maryland for an on-the-go lunch. The whole road trip had us not planning much. It is part of the adventure. After all, Maps is a great thing. We even booked our overnight stay in Richmond, Virginia when we were about an hour or less away after checking on the gps which Country Inn and Suites was closest to the highway. So, finding Five Guys was pure luck.
Five Guys is quite interesting. Doing things differently (compared to the other fast food joints), being more responsbile in the process, is awesome. We would probably look for Five Guys wherever we are next time we are in the States. The hot dogs are delicious; my one was the best I have had ever. I did have to remove the jalapeno because it was a little too hot for me.
However, if you happen to find myself in my neck of the woods, and you feel like you deserve a special treat, try Fireroom Sushi and Grill. Fireroom is a little pricey so I do not frequent it. Obviously, the Fireroom I go to is the one in Montecasino. (We do not really go anywhere else but Montecasino when we dine out. Aarya Restaurant at the Piazza and Beira Alta inside, near the exit to the piazza/Teatro, are my staple. while Fego Caffe is the extension of my dining room. Actually, we have no dining room at the moment since we moved our dining table and chairs to our AirBnB.)
The Fireroom in Montecasino is new-ish. Our first time there was a year ago, on the 4th of April.
I was intrigued by the sushi on fire, literally. It even says so on the menu.
I also saw some cooking happening on the restaurant floor; a new gimmick, clearly.
I suppose I can say I am often the adventurous one, although when it comes to food, it must already be something I already eat, but it can be prepared in a different manner.
We ordered a variety of dishes since not everyone loves sushi. Amazingly, the little person loves her sushi although only the avocado one. She’s vegetarian when it comes to sushi.
My first sushi on fire
Warning: turn your volume down. I have a tendency to be a laughing hyena with a loud voice.
Interesting, right? This was the first time I ever had my sushi barbecued. I find pleasures from simple things.
This was truly delicious. It doesn’t take exactly like the traditional sushi. The light crispy outside isn’t just for the texture. Lighting it up is also not for nothing. It does add to the taste of the sushi. Perhaps, it is a good way to re-intriduce to sushi those who do not eat raw fish. Have you never tried salmon tartare? Or [salmon] ceviche? Yes, raw!
In May, on my little princess’s birthday, my father was visiting. He also enjoys trying out new restaurants when in town so this was a perfect opportunity to go back to Fireroom.
It was busy and we almost didn’t get a table. We actually had to make do with the farthest table. It is advisable to book in advance especially for dinner at month-ends. Joburgers love to eat out and spend their hard-earned money. We finish it pretty quickly so if you’re visiting halfway through the month, booking may not be necessary.
Second sushi on fire
Not all fires are created equal. This one was blowtorched! Still sushi on fire.
I had another excuse to go to Fireroom the following month. I was meeting up with a friend and colleague after a couple of years (I think) of not seeing each other.
This time around, I didn’t have any sushi fired or fired up, but this was a good new thing to try.
Dessert straight from the pan
However, I don’t go to Fireroom and get no excitement. For dessert, we wanted to have it freshly cooked/made in front of us.
(I wasn’t prepared for this and I took the first 13-second video with nothing much but the cooking (?) of the berries. It is obvious I am useless in the kitchen.)
Here is the super sweet strawberry crepe with chocolate nutella.
I haven’t been back at the Fireroom since October. I must have known I wouldn’t be back for months because my friend and I chose to have two sushi on fire.
More sushi on fire
There is a distinct difference not only in appearance but also with the taste.
My friend also had another vegetarian dish. (She is vegetarian.)
I always have fun with food at the Fireroom! Try it!
Oh, like all the restaurants in Montecasino, Fireroom is fully licensed so fun also includes wine and other alcoholic drinks and beverages.
Much love and hugs,

JOT (also known as JOT the Dot) was an American animated children’s television program. The series consisted of 30 four-minute episodes, which were syndicated between 1965 and the 1980s. JOT was produced by the Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission (RATC) as a Baptist version of Davey and Goliath.
The series was created by Ruth Byers, a graduate of Baylor University, and Ted Perry a writer at the RATC. Both had a background connected to the Dallas Theater Center, with Byers having been director of children’s productions. The pair was commissioned by Dr. Paul Stevens, president of the RATC, to develop a television show that would provide simple moral lessons for young children. Production of the first episodes began in 1959, with the first episode released in 1965.
The style of the show was kept deliberately simple, both as a cost-cutting measure (the budget for the early episodes was never more than $25,000, and that amount dropped over time), and to prevent the design from interfering with the delivery of the message. The main character, JOT, is a white circle with simple facial features (similar to a smiley face), hands and feet. JOT’s color and shape would change in response to the struggles presented. This was meant to represent changes in a child’s temperament or emotional state, “somewhat like a thermostat,” according to one critic. His hands and feet are only seen when he is still; when he is in motion, they disappear. Jot would sometimes be accompanied by Tug (voiced by Ed Ruth), a “bad” character who would learn a moral lesson in the end.
The voice of JOT was provided by two different women, Lou Kelly (1965–1967, 1968 and 1981), and Colleen Collins (1967). The series premiered on Peppermint Place, a Sunday children’s show produced locally at WFAA-TV in Dallas, and later on The Children’s Hour on WBAP-TV (now KXAS-TV) in Fort Worth. The episodes were eventually sydicated throughout the world, translated into 19 different languages. They were also a favorite of Sunday School programs. The response to the program was a volume of over 175,000 letters from children, requiring a volunteer group from 22 churches to write responses.
The series remained in regular production until 1974. In 1981, several additional episodes were produced.
Episodes of the series can currently be seen on some episodes of Joy Junction, and JOT featured in the opening of the show. Joy Junction can be seen on Smile of a Child TV and other networks.No Comments

When economist and end-times expert Michael Snyder looks at the world today, he sees prophecy being fulfilled. But not from what he calls "fake prophets" whose faltering words have caused prophecy to come into question in the recent past. Instead, he sees some words from years ago coming true today, including those of the later David Wilkerson. In particular, Wilkerson's "1,000 Fires" prophecy seems to have a direct connection to current events, Snyder says.
"David Wilkerson warned us about a lot of things that were coming," Snyder tells Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the Charisma Podcast Network. "One thing that really was pointed out to me recently was [his] '1,000 fires' prophecy. He said, and I quote: 'For 10 years or so, I've been warning about 1,000 fires coming to New York City [that] will engulf the whole megaplex, including areas of New Jersey and Connecticut. Major cities all across America will experience riots and blazing fires such as we saw in Watts, Los Angeles, years ago.'"
He was referring to the Watts Riots many, many years ago," Snyder says. And of course, this word came long before the BLM riots of 2020 which, Snyder says, were "horrible" in New York City.
Could these modern-day riots be a fulfillment of Wilkerson's prophecy? Snyder says he thinks it's a start.
"We saw fires, but we didn't see 1,000 fires yet," he says. But he says the harsh vaccine mandates imposed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio are bringing the prophecy into even greater light.
"It was being reported that 1/3 of the firefighters in the city were vaccinated ahead of the deadline, which was Nov. 1," Snyder adds. "And so the deadline came, and it was being reported at the time 26 firehouses had to be shuttered, shut down because here just weren't enough people to work them, which was quite alarming. ... there was a fire, and a young boy died because the firefighters couldn't respond quickly enough."
This caused Snyder to look at Wilkerson's prophecy, wondering if these events were setting the stage for its fulfillment.
"If we get to another point where massive, widespread riots erupt, more fires start to be set all over New York City and the surrounding areas, if there's only a limited number of firefighters, they're not going to be able to go out. They're not going to be able to address hundreds of fires simultaneously. And so could that be part of what David Wilkerson was seeing—these mandates really setting the stage for that by [the firefighters not being] able to respond. And of course, we're seeing similar things all over the country with these mandates."

IT WAS Mark Twain who coined the famous phrase, denoting his suspicion of statistics. Many congressional Republicans seem to share his concerns. They are determined to stop the Census Bureau from using statistical methods of sampling when it conducts America's next census in 2000. An accurate census, they argue, requires counting everybody in America. The Census Bureau's statisticians assert otherwise. But the unrelenting Republican attack is forcing them to explain a truth that the average person finds hard to grasp: the best way to know how many Americans there are is not to count them all.
The controversy stems from the American constitution, which requires an “actual Enumeration” every ten years. Countless politically charged decisions, from the shape of congressional districts to the allocation of federal funds, depend on the results. Since the first census in 1790, the basic aim has been to count every person in the country. Each household receives a questionnaire to answer and return by mail. Households that do not respond are visited by census-takers. Although statistical sampling has been used since 1940 to obtain some more detailed information (about one in six residents are sent a much longer questionnaire), the population figures are still based on a head-count.
This has become increasingly problematic. Americans have become less willing to co-operate with census-takers, making the head-count more expensive and less accurate. The Census Bureau itself estimates that the 1990 count missed 4.7m people. Some groups, particularly children, renters and ethnic minorities, are less likely to be counted than others. Almost one out of eight American Indians living on reservations was not counted in 1990.
The Census Bureau thinks the only way to improve the numbers is to make more use of statistical sampling methods. Its goal, strange as it sounds, is to count only 90% of the households in each census tract (which contains roughly 4,000 people). So if 80% of households in one tract return their census forms, the census-takers will call at random on half of the non-responders. If only 30% of the forms come back, the bureau will sample six out of seven of the remainder. On the basis of this information, it will then estimate the characteristics of the rest of the non-responders.
Then the bureau wants to conduct a second sample of 750,000 households drawn from all ethnic groups and locations. This sample will allow the statisticians to gauge whether some particular group was miscounted in the original census. The census would then be adjusted accordingly. If it used these sampling methods, the Census Bureau says, there is a 90% chance that its estimate of America's population would be within 0.1% of the true number. If no sampling were used, the likely undercount would be around 1.9%.
The reason for this seemingly dotty result is that the errors from scientific sampling are easier to quantify (and minimise) than those arising from an imperfect head-count. A head-count has errors in one direction only, and they are harder to estimate. Although sampling can also lead to errors—if, for instance, the characteristics of the sample group differ from those of the population from which the sample is drawn—the errors will be smaller and can be measured more precisely.
That is why the Census Bureau's proposals have the broad support of America's statisticians. It is also why Republicans are worried. They fear that a better count of hard-to-find Americans could result in the discovery of more residents in heavily Democratic inner cities, which would give them more congressional seats. The Republicans argue that sampling invites the political manipulation of statistics. That is certainly possible. But attributing unwarranted accuracy to a census that claims to count everyone is no less manipulative.

grdcontour - Plotting of open/closed contours and dumping of closed contours
|Target version:||Candidate for next minor release|
Some suggestions for an even better grdcontour:
1) Add an option for plotting only open or closed contours (sometimes, you want to focus only on the closed contours or only on the open contours)
2) (Related to the existing ability of dumping contours based on whether they are closed or open, -D%c) Add an option to distinguish between closed contours based on whether they are closed in a downward or upward direction (not talking about an algorithm for finding locate valleys and hilltops) - e.g. dump closed contours as data line segments into two separate files; for example C_upwards.gmt and C_downwards.gmt. GMT is obviously capable of this - ref. the -T option in grdcontour.

Found mainly in industrial process systems, differential pressure gauges are designed to measure pressure difference between two pressure points. According to WIKA Worldwide, a differential pressure gauge has two inlets connected to the points being monitored. In effect, it performs the mathematical operation of subtraction through mechanical means. As such, it eliminates the need for a control system or an operator to determine the reading differences.Continue Reading
Just like any other mechanical tool, differential pressure gauges can fail from time to time. According to Omega, water condensation and pipe vibration are the leading causes of failure. This is because in colder climates, these two issues can freeze and cause damage to the gauge housing. WIKA Worldwide identifies chemical plants, refineries and petrochemical plants as typical settings where differential pressure gauges are used. They are largely used for filter monitoring, liquid level monitoring and flow monitoring.
There are two general categories of pressure gauges: traditional and filled. Omega states that the pivots, links and pinions of a traditional pressure gauge are highly sensitive to vibration and condensation, while the filled gauge has a relatively longer lifespan because it is has fewer moving parts and because it has a housing filled with viscous oil. This oil dampens pointer vibration and also leaves no room for humid air to penetrate.Learn more about Measurements

Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has suspended Kisumu County Assembly Majority Leader Samuel Ong’ow and his Deputy John Olum over gross misconduct and impunity.
In letter written by the ODM Secretary General Ababu Namwamba said that the two officials have been suspended as a matter of disciplinary committee for appropriate swift action.
ODM has effectively today April 29th 2015 suspended Leader of Majority in the County Assembly of Kisumu Samuel Ong’ow and the Deputy Leader, read parts of the letter.
In the letter Mr. Namwamba gave stern warning to all party sponsored leaders in all counties across the country that ODM will not condone any form of misconduct and impunity.
However Kisumu County Majority leader Samuel Ong’ow on his part said that he has not received any letter about his suspension by the party.
Addressing journalists at the County Assembly premises this morning Ong’ow said that he is yet to received official communication from ODM.
Deputy Majority Leader John Olum termed the suspension as rumours and there’s nothing wrong he has done for ODM party to grant his suspension.
As far as I am concerned there’s nothing we have done. We have relayed the report to the members and put them together. But if the Acting speaker Gabriel Ochieng and Deputy Speaker Pamela Jossy are having wrangles where do I come in?, asked the furious Olum.
He added, If we defied the report, then on that ground we should be suspended, but we did our part and presented the report, had a meeting on Monday and had decision.

Stones First, Metal Second
- Green/Red/Schiller Oregon Sunstones are a plagioclase (play-gee-o-clay-sssss) feldspar, in the same family as labradorite and moonstone
- Sterling Silver
- Size: 6.75
- Handmade by Laura Joki in Lincoln City, Oregon, USA
The red/green color combo changes color depending on the direction in which you view it plus this stone features a bright copper schiller.
These raw Oregon Sunstone crystals? We left them completely raw, just like you find them and love them in nature and strapped into this raw stone ring. There are so many more options than raw diamonds, let's explore the possibilities together. Back in the long long ago, you know? the before times when diamonds were rare, Oregon Sunstones were mined by Tiffany & Co as a diamond alternative. Sunstones are super sparkly and have what's called a "high refractive index", making them sparkle brilliantly like a diamond!
Each stone is hand picked. Our Sunstones have gone through a Sunstone cage match where only the strongest and most durable crystals end up in our raw Sunstone rings.

Ratha Jatra, the Festival of Chariots of Lord Jagannatha is celebrated every year at Puri, the temple town in Orissa, on the east coast of India. The presiding deities of the main temple, Sri Mandira, Lord Jagannatha, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra, with the celestial wheel Sudarshana are taken out from the temple precincts in an elaborate ritual procession to
their respective chariots. The huge, colourfully decorated chariots, are drawn by hundreds and thousands of devotees on the bada danda, the grand avenue to the Gundicha temple, some two miles away to the North. After a stay for seven days, the deities return to their abode in Srimandira.

Medial Patella-Femoral Ligament (MPFL) Reconstruction
Medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction orthopedic surgery is a procedure performed to correct serious and recurring dislocation of the kneecap. MPFL injuries tend to be the result of sports injuries such as football, soccer, hockey,contact sports, and dancing injuries. The Upper East Side, NYC, orthopedic surgeons diagnose and treat knee injuries including MPFL injuries in professional athletes and non-athletes, such as active children and teens.
Please note: A doctor’s referral is NOT necessary from a General Practitioner to see our sports medicine or orthopedic surgery specialists for a consultation, 2nd opinion, or for treatment at our orthopedic practice – including MPFL reconstruction surgery.
Glashow Orthopedics offers full out of network insurance benefits (we will contact your insurance company and submit for you). You will enjoy the luxury and benefit of academic medicine in a top rated concierge environment without the hassle of long hospital waiting room times and paperwork.
We are honored to have been awarded “Best Orthopedic Surgeons in America” by New York Magazine for over a decade as well as SuperDoctors, The New York Times, Top Doctors, New York Magazine’s “Best Doctors” issue, and hundreds of leading publications, news programs, and orthopedic surgeon’s review websites.
Diagnostic tests, treatments (oftentimes surgery) and consultations can often be carried out on the same day. We offer true concierge medicine to all patients. We have the ability to see our patients immediately; same day, nights and weekend and offer emergency services.
Symptoms of a dislocated kneecap include:
- Pain in the kneecap when engaged in physical activity
- Feeling of your kneecap slipping with twisting or turning movements
- In some cases a near patella dislocation (subluxation) when the knee is close to being straight (the patient can actually feel and see it move)
An MPFL injury happens when the knee is fully straight (extended) and the leg is either rotated or a force is applied to the inside of the kneecap (patella) causing the knee cap to move from its normal position to the outside of the knee. When this occurs the ligament MPFL that normally holds the knee cap in place is torn. Other injuries such as cartilage damage can occur during the traumatic dislocation as well.
An X-ray of your knee will be necessary to get a clear picture of your bone structure. A CAT scan or MRI may also be recommended so the orthopedic surgeon can get a better three-dimensional picture of the bones, ligaments, or cartilage.
After proper evaluation of a first dislocation and if no other injuries are present, sometimes non operative treatment will be the treatment of choice. If the other injuries are present of if there have been multiple dislocation of the patella arthroscopic surgery can correct this condition. Medial patella-femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction surgery involves using a ligament taken from somewhere else in one’s body or a synthetic replacement. The NYC orthopedic surgeon reconstructs the MPFL to keep the kneecap in place: in the “trochlear groove”, preventing further dislocation.
Medial Patella Femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a method of rebuilding the ligament on the inside of the patella that is torn during dislocation. This is similar to other ligament reconstructions about the knee. A portion of the hamstring tendon is often used to rebuild the MPFL.

Texans Fall Short On Fan Appreciation Day
From Our CBS Music Sites
Sports Fan Insider
Houston (CBS Houston) - The Broncos never trailed Sunday as Peyton Manning broke the single season touchdown record. The Texans we handed their 13th straight loss 37-13.
The game got off to a slow start with a quick three-and-out by the Texans. Denver then responded with a 78-yard field goal drive to take a three-point lead.
The Texans got on the board late in the first quarter with a 45-yard field goal from Randy Bullock. But the Broncos pulled ahead for good with a 38-yard touchdown pass to Demaryius Thomas.
Despite seven first half penalties the Broncos took a 16-6 lead into halftime. Peyton Manning led the way with 296 first-half passing yards.
“The guy is a great quarterback obviously,” Wade Phillips said. “They came out throwing.”
After the break the Texans were able to close the gap to three, 16-13, with a Matt Schaub touchdown pass to Keshawn Martin. Both teams traded unsuccessful drives before Mike Adams picked off Schaub, setting up an Erick Decker touchdown catch.
“We had the turnover and they got the score. It just took the life out of us.” Safety D.J. Swearinger said.
Manning would hit Decker again in the fourth quarter for his third touchdown of the game and 50th of the season, tying Tom Brady’s single season record. He would break Brady’s record later in the fourth with a 25-yard touchdown pass to Julius Thomas.
Manning finished 32-51 with 400 yards and four touchdowns. Schaub went 18-37 for 176 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.
“It’s never fun to be on the opposite end of a record breaking performance,” J.J. Watt said. “The guy is a heck of a football player and you give credit where credit is due. There’s a reason the (Manning) should be the MVP this year.
