Thousands of migrants still arrive in Libya, many from sub-Saharan Africa and Africa’s Horn in the hope of crossing the Mediterranean.
However, as Italy and the EU have been financing and training Libya’s coastguard to stem the flow of people crossing the Mediterranean, many see their journey to Europe end in Libya.
Libya, a country in chaos since the overthrow of longtime dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, more or less shirks any responsibility for the thousands of people stranded on the banks of the Med..

Mine are the dark eyes
that will be passed on for centuries
telling of my sadness for a hundred generations.
This one act of domination will repercuss through the millenia
in lives untouched, but knowing.
Inheriting the shame
but not able to utter its name.
Look into the blackness
and condemn your blood to endless misery
if you dare.
(spoken by the slave) I believe in inherited memory. Sadness from our ancestors’ trauma being passed on in our genetic memory. This poem is about a slave girl who is raped by her master and then left to bear children who are rejected by society or who have to deny their roots in order to have a chance in life. Carrying a secret. It is about the early roots of colonial life in South Africa. Bastard children born between two cultures and carrying their “shame” for generations because of institutionalised racism. Neither accepted by their white family nor their black. Fitting in nowhere.

Starring: Lou Diamond Phillips, Mark Wahlberg, Christina Applegate, Bokeem Woodbine, Antonio Sabato Jr
Director: Kirk Wong
Genre: Action
Cert: 18
Released: 1998
Lou Diamond Phillips is Cisco, one of a team of four successful hitmen.
He is suave, cool, sophisticated but manipulative and greedy. When he tells his strapped-for-cash partner Melvin Smiley (Wahlberg) that he is planning to kidnap the daughter of a rich Japanese business man, Smiley, against his better judgment, asks to get involved.
Unknown to both men, not only is the businessman broke but the young girl turns out to be their bosses goddaughter. With the pressure on, Cisco pins it on Smiley and a contract is put on his life.
It’s the last thing nice guy Smiley needs. His jewish girlfriend (Applegate) and her visiting parents are driving him barmy, his bit on the side (Rechon) is extorting as much money as possible from him and the pimpled local video store clerk is bombarding Smiley with phone calls because he has had “King Kong Lives” out for 2 weeks. Things get worse when he finds himself falling for the kidnapped Keiko (China Chow).
“Chaotic” is probably the best way to describe “The Big Hit”. Well choreographed action sequences quickly establish that Cisco and Smiley are the main focus and are very opposite characters. Cisco is pretty unforgiving and shows no loyalty to his partners [he claims a ‘kill’ bonus that rightly should have been Smileys by insisting that he fired the fatal shots to the victim]. Smiley is clinical at his work, but troubled personally by love and money. We can tell that he is sorry that he has to do what he does, but tries to justify it by saying that most of his marks were ‘bad guys’.
The characterisation of both Cisco and Smiley is critical to the success of the storyline. You do care about Smiley. He is the epitome of ‘nice guys finish last’.
Things slow down unfortunately during some unnecessary sentimentality between Smiley and Keiko. It doesn’t last long, but it is still too much and affects the pacing of the movie. But the mixture of slick but overblown action, highly amusing comedy situations (Elliot Gould and the video store clerk’s scenes being cases in point), spoof and some mild tension works for me. Recommended.

Name: Moanalani Jeffrey
Age: 31
Occupation: Photographer/SF Socialite Examiner Columnist
Hometown: Hilo, HI
Where I live: Nob Hill, San Francisco
What I’m wearing:
“My jewelry is from Simayof. I like to keep it classic so I don’t have to think to much about it. The shapes of my earrings and pendant tie together with the shapes of my watch face and bracelet. I’m anal like that.
The dress is Tadashi Shoji Petites; the leopard print material is draped and gathered in places for interest. The fabric is a nicely done synthetic blend with a rich sheen to it.
The clutch is from Chinese Laundry and I’ve had it forever. I always wear it as a pop of color, never paired with the same green. It’s made from a faux crocodile design with a silver magnetic closure.
The shoes are made by Sofft. They are black patent leather with gold hardware including a tassel zipper pull. On my toes I am wearing OPI’s ‘My Private Jet.’ I almost always keep my hands in a pale nude polish.”
Why this is my favorite outfit:
“It’s new and makes me feel like a woman should.”
When I last wore this outfit:
“This is the first time. I’ve been saving it for the right occasion.”
How I’d remix this outfit:
“Blazer with a fun belt. You can dress that up or down. Or chunky mod accessories for a nice contradiction.”
How I got my start in photography:
“I was inspired by a Henry Wessel exhibit at the SFMOMA. I started shooting everything from street photography to backstage fashion documentary. I moved towards what felt right and made the most out of every opportunity. Today I am my own boss. I love the immediacy of seeing my ideas actualized. The photos I am the most connected to seem to capture thoughts in time.”
The last event I photographed was … :
“The Tiffany & Co private preview of the 2011 Patek Philippe Basel Collection, hosted by the president of Patek Philippe.”
Biggest hazard of the job?
“You only get one shot, pun intended.”
Biggest perk of the job?
“My job is one perk after the next. I get dressed up and go to amazing events that only a select group of people are privy to.”
How would you describe your personal style?
“Effortlessness. No matter how much thought or effort I put into my appearance, I want it to look effortless. I am at my best when the end result looks stylish with ease.”
Who (or what) has been the biggest influence on your style?
“I’m less influenced by individual style icons and more inspired by people I happen to see on the street. At the moment I think Gwyneth Paltrow is flawless. I loved Katie Holmes and Nicole Richie since they first cut their hair.”
How I keep my outfits stylish enough for the party scene, but practical enough for always being on the move:
“My newest and best examples are the shoes I’m wearing. Made by Sofft, they are my Charlie’s Angels shoes. If I had to fight crime in heels they would be my secret weapon. They are the most stylish line of ‘comfortable’ shoes I’ve ever seen. I tell everyone about them and just got my good friend a pair of their high heel boots for her birthday.”
My most impractical fashion buy was … :
“Jacques, my French Bulldog. Given my hectic schedule and lack of experience having a pet he was an irrational impulse buy. However, love is an accessory you shouldn’t live without and it never goes out of style.”
My biggest beauty secret is:
“Almay waterproof liquid eyeliner from Walgreens. Brown for my eyebrows and black for my eyes—both under $10.”
If I could only photograph one more person in this world, it would be … :
“My mother. I’d love to show her the beauty I see in her through my lens. Also, she needs a Facebook profile photo!”
My top three tips or tricks for always looking fabulous in a photo:
“1) Knowing not every trick works for everyone. Ask a model, even they need to practice in the mirror. 2) Accentuate [the] waist. 3) [Put your] chin down and slightly forward. My friends do a funny profile impersonation of me doing it, but I’m a sucker for a good photo.”
Thanks for the Charlie’s Angel shoe tip. I need to start treating my feet better, but I’m so reluctant to go the old-lady shoe route. Sofft might be a nice compromise.

Central Berlin is bristling with police officers.
Bemused tourists stop at security cordons to stare at the armoured police vehicles and rooftop snipers around the capital’s luxury Adlon hotel.
Germany’s security services are taking no chances with its controversial guest.
This will be a stormy state visit.

Snipers are guarding the roof of Berlin’s renowned Adlon hotel, which is hosting President Erdogan

Even before Recep Erdogan’s plane descended – through airspace closed to private aircraft – the protests had begun.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the streets during the course of his visit.
Image copyright
EPA
Reflecting on Germany, President Erdogan arrived in Berlin on Thursday for a three-day state visit
Image copyright
Reporters without borders were the first to stage a demonstration. Mr Erdogan has infuriated the German government – and enraged many Germans – by locking up journalists and critics of his regime. Among them are five people with German passports.
The plight of reporters like Deniz Yucel who was jailed for a year without charge has strained relations between Ankara and Berlin.
But Mr Erdogan and his wife stepped down from their plane to a red carpet welcome.
He carries with him high ambitions: to reset the Turkish-German relationship and smooth over profound differences of opinion and policy.
Don’t expect too much.
A difficult start
On Thursday morning Mr Erdogan urged Berlin to designate the Fethullah Gulen movement a terror organisation – he blames the group for a coup attempt in 2016. The call, published in a German newspaper, serves to highlight existing tension.
Germany has said it needs more proof linking supporters of the US based preacher to the attempt to overthrow Mr Erdogan’s government.
Mr Erdogan will also open a new mosque in Cologne, run by the Turkish organisation Ditib. The movement is controversial in Germany, where there are concerns about radicalisation and anti-Semitism in some of its mosques, and the city’s mayor Henriette Reke has already said she will boycott the event.

Reuters
Red carpet treatment: both countries are working to mend relations
Image copyright
And perhaps it’s rather telling that there isn’t a rush for places at a state banquet due to be held in the Turkish leader’s honour at the presidential palace.
Chancellor Angela Merkel won’t be at the dinner hosted by Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Neither will most of her ministers.
Three million reasons to get along
Mrs Merkel will, however, hold three meetings with Mr Erdogan.
Her government is conscious of the huge Turkish diaspora in Germany, which is home to some three million people with Turkish heritage.
While he continues to be a controversial figure among the community, two thirds of those who voted remotely in this summer’s Turkish election supported Mr Erdogan.
Image copyright
Reuters
Demonstrators calling for greater democracy and an independent judiciary in Turkey greeted Mr Erdogan’s arrival
Image copyright
His role in the Middle East, particularly with regard to Syria, matters here too. The conflict will be high on the agenda.
Mr Erdogan may be in the weaker position: a struggling economy, exacerbated by a diplomatic fallout with the US, means he is after help and support. Germany is an important trading partner for Turkey but that economic relationship goes both ways.
And, of course, the EU’s migrant deal with Turkey, facilitated largely by Mrs Merkel, is still at stake.
Under the 2016 agreement, people arriving in Greece to seek asylum are sent back to Turkey in return for billions of euros in aid. Mrs Merkel still views Turkey – and the deal – as playing a vital role in reducing migration into the EU.
Mr Erdogan says he wants closer ties for what he says is the “sake of prosperity and the future of both countries.”
It is a relationship which matters to Angela Merkel, despite the conflicts.
But given her own diminishing power and the contempt in which Mr Erdogan is held here, her welcome will be a cautious one.

workshop goal and.
Because Making the First Dollar Changes Everything.
And that’s when it happened…
I was on the golf course, on about the 16th hole with one of my best friends, when my iPhone buzzed. I grabbed it to check the text message. But instead it was a Paypal update.
The update said, “You just received $499 from [person’s name].”.
It completely transformed my belief system. It proved to me that I had something that the right people would happily pay me for. And that changed everything..
I tell you as proof. As proof of a process that flat-out gets results for anyone willing to rigorously apply it. LYL,.
But more than that, it’s about proving possibility.…
We’re going to cover a ton, but here are 14 of the biggest highlights:
- Figuring out what you have to offer that people would be happy to pay you for – I am convinced every one of us has this. We just have to uncover it.
- Figuring out what your first offer is actually going to be.
- How to describe and position yourself in a way that makes people want to buy.
- Why you don’t need a big massive audience (or any audience at all).
- Getting set up on the best online tools, communities and platforms for building your track record and credibility.
- The 3-step process for building credibility and becoming a perceived (and practical) expert in your field.
- Getting your crucial first testimonials and referrals.
- The single biggest action and belief that keeps people from making their first dime doing work they love (I made this mistake for four years and really want you to avoid it!).
- Make failure impossible by turning the standard product development process on its head to ensure you’re creating what people want to pay you for, and to have customers before you invest hardly any time or money in building it.
- How to do simple and effective market and customer research and the exact tools, scripts and surveys I’ve used for our flagship products.
- How to turn early failure into a massive success.
- My 7-page, 130-point product launch checklist that lead to a 6-day $154,000 launch – that includes every detailed step and the logic behind it.
- Real case studies and product tear downs from my students, clients and my own projects (including real dollar amounts and one “failure” I rarely talk about).
- All laid out in a simple and clear process that won’t be some huge time investment, so you can actually follow through and implement!
And a lot more…
Most importantly, this is designed to be incredibly practical. You will be able to apply this stuff immediately and likely start seeing measurable, financial results (i.e. making real money) within weeks, as is proof by our guarantee…
Our Make $1,000 Guarantee
Everything we do at LYL.
So here’s what’s included:
- A live 60-minute in-depth workshop on the full First $1,000 Framework
- 30 minutes of anything-goes question and answers
- Full audio and video recordings and downloads for reviewing later on
- My detailed 130+ item product creation and $154,000 launch checklist
- In-depth report on the 3-step process for becoming a trusted (& highly paid) expert
- My 3 best tools & exercises for discovering your passion & the value you’ll deliver to others
- The exact emails, scripts and surveys I’ve used to test a market and be certain of having customers long before building anything
- An action plan to get results
- Case studies and behind-the-scenes breakdowns of my products, launches and psychology that I’ve never publicly shared
- The Make Your First $1,000 Guarantee
When and how is it going to be held?
It will be held on Thursday, November 13th from 6:00 to 7:30 PM PST. Don’t worry if you can’t make it live. You’ll get a full recording of everything.
So what’s this going to cost?
A lot less than you said it should.
When I asked on Twitter and Facebook what price would make this a ‘no-brainer,’ dozens of you said it should be between $100 and $297 or maybe $30 to $50 a month for a six or more months. And another handful said you’d be happy to pay $1,000.
When I offer things for the first time, I like to price them at a place that makes it a ‘no-brainer’ for you, and sets me up to be able to ridiculously over-deliver on value. (I’ve used this framework with clients and myself for years, but have never put it into a workshop like this.)
You’ll get a massive deal for being a founding student and getting in on the ground floor. The pre-launch group got to buy Live Off Your Passion for $67. It now sells for $197. The pre-launch group early-bird price for this workshop is like India where $1 is a much bigger number than in the U.S.
Also, I actually see this workshop as MY investment in each of.
And here are a couple stories from our past students who have applied the framework in various ways:
“This year we both left our corporate jobs where we were earning in excess of $160,000 combined. We now run our own business, RYPL, where we help people everyday bring meaning to their lives through live events, speaking, writing and coaching. In 2014, we are tracking to turn over our first million dollars.
– Leah Hynes & Nazrin Murphie – Sydney, Australia
. – Sydney, Australia
But this is NOT about the money. Seriously..
So let’s end with a question…!
See you.
Answers to a few more of your common questions:
1. What if I don’t know my passion?
No problem. I’ll share my three best exercises and techniques for passion discovery. Plus, the Make Your First $1k Framework covered in the workshop serves as a powerful passion discovery tool on its own. We’ve got you covered!
2. Who’s this for? What if I have a full-time job?
This is for anyone who wants to make their first $1k from their passions and talents and begin to build an income around doing work you actually care about, helping others with your skills and making your own difference in the world. It’s designed to be done on the side, while you’re still at a current full-time job, so you don’t have to just drop everything and quit before you’ve tested what works. That’s really important.
3. Does this work for products and services or is it just for doing hourly work as a consultant or coach?
The $1k Framework is product and service agnostic, meaning it applies to products (digital and physical) and services alike. I’m teaching you how to fish. Then you get to decide what you want to catch.
On that point, we have found that one of the fastest ways to test an idea and begin making money is through offering a service to others, and then this knowledge can be used to create a more scalable product that you’re sure people want and need. But again, there’s a lot of ways to go about it. Our case studies will cover online and physical products as well as services. Our goal is to get you testing and making money from your talents and skills as fast as possible. If you do the work, we’ll get you there. And you’ll make your first $1,000.
4. What if I’ve already made $1,000 (or a lot more) from my passions and talents – will this still help?
First off, congrats! And yes it will. The Framework is something to be applied to everything you create so that you minimize the risk of failure and maximize the odds that you’ll create something that will massively help your audience, and of course make you good money. Apply this to what you already know and it will likely save you a ton of time, and make you a lot more, all while helping more people. Win/Win/Win!
Send us any other questions via email (scott at liveyourlegend dot net).
We’re here to help however we can.

Home > Life BrandNews #Sunpiology: Piolo runs to fight diabetes, provide scholarships Sun Life Financial Posted at Dec 06 2016 06:13 PM | Updated as of Dec 19 2016 04:29 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn MANILA -- Despite his busy schedule, Piolo Pascual still finds time to do the activities he loves -- like running. The actor recently led fellow running enthusiasts at the "Sunpiology Run: Sugar Wars" held at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City. The event, which enjoyed excellent attendance, was aimed at raising awareness about diabetes and highlighting the importance of having a healthy lifestyle. Despite the rains, every single runner persevered to finish the race. Following the fun run was a mini-concert headlined by Kapamilya stars, including Piolo himself. Singers Jason Dy, Jovit Baldivino, and Klarisse De Guzman gave powerful performances, while the love teams Bailey May and Ylona Garcia, and McCoy de Leon and Elisse Joson brought youthful "kilig" to the event. Meanwhile, Piolo's son and fellow Sun Life brand ambassador Iñigo also performed his debut single “Dahil Sa’yo” as well as “Live Life Brighter,” which is the theme song of Sun Life’s Go Well community. Piolo also took the stage to serenade some fans to the tune of “Magpahanggang Wakas.” The highlight of the event was the awarding of cash donations to the beneficiaries of #Sunpiology, such as the Institute for Studies on Diabetes Foundation, Inc., the Institute for Studies on Diabetes Foundation, Inc. (ISDFI), Lingkod Kapamilya, Noordhoff Craniofacial Foundation Philippines Inc., and Star Magic Scholars. Meanwhile, Piolo's own Hebreo Foundation, an organization that grants scholarships to children in poor communities, also received a cash donation from Sun Life Financial Philippines. Commitment to give back Prior the run, Piolo had just arrived from Thailand where he shot a TV special. But he had no qualms about join the run last Saturday, saying he remains committed to #Sunpiology. In an exclusive interview, Piolo shared that his Sunpiology partnership with Sun Life has paved the way for significant milestones. "Since we started eight years ago, we've had kids graduate from grade school, high school, and even college. Some of them have already gotten as far as working already. We're talking about eight years. Ever since we’ve partnered with Sun Life, we’ve been able to get more organizations to help as well," he said. Giving back has always been ingrained in the actor, and he credits his family for this. "My parents my parents taught us how to be compassionate. We would visit orphanages early on in our life, and you have to realize that not everyone is as blessed as you are," he said. "And it's a good feeling to be able to share your blessings because at the end of the day, you want to share happiness. And in showbiz, it's all about that. If you're able to give back, people won't forget it and it would teach them how to give back as well." When asked why it's important for celebrities like him to live a healthy life, he said, "You are your own product. What you sell is not just your talent, but also your physical appearance. So you always have to be ready when you're given a role. You have to be versatile, so it's easier to fit the mold. It's just practical!" Moreover, he believes that celebrities have the power to influence people. And that, he said, can be in the form of leading their fans to choose a healthier lifestyle. "You have to look you best because at the end of the day, people need someone to emulate,” he said. “People need someone that they can follow and look up to so they can have a better outlook in life.” To learn more about #Sunpiology and the organizations it supports, visit.

Belmont ‘Tops Out’ New Residence Hall
Structure to put freshman students in heart of campus
Belmont University held a topping out ceremony today for a new 103,000 square foot residence hall in the center of campus. The as-yet-unnamed six-story building will provide housing for approximately 400 freshmen when it is completed this summer, prior to the start of the fall 2010 semester. The new residence hall will be connected via an underground tunnel to Maple Hall, another freshman residence which opened last year. All of the new residential space is needed to accommodate Belmont’s rapidly growing enrollment which has increased by more than 80 percent since 2000. In addition to offering more housing space, the new facility will provide a unique living-learning community lifestyle by putting all first-year students in the heart of campus.
“Belmont University continues to grow at a remarkable rate,” Fisher said. “It’s important that Belmont remains student-centered, placing our students’ needs first even as we experience significant enrollment increases. This new residence facility guarantees that Belmont will provide a unique and innovative space to welcome incoming classes into the heart of campus.”
Belmont’s enrollment has increased by more than 80 percent since 2000, with the fall 2009 enrollment topping 5,400 students.—is overseeing building plans. R.C. Mathews is the contractor on the year-long project.

ERIE conference at Penn State Behrend focuses on local economic efforts
Erie is a "legacy" city — a community that has experienced declines in both population and industry, said Alison Goebel, executive director of the Greater Ohio Policy Center. "The economy absolutely is changing," she said.Image: Penn State Behrend
ERIE conference at Penn State Behrend focuses on local economic efforts
ERIE, Pa. — Erie’s economic recovery begins with a Post-it note.
“You put a big map on the wall, bring everyone into the room, and you begin a discussion,” said Kathy Wyrosdick, director of planning for the city of Erie. “You ask, ‘What do we have? What are our strengths? What do we need to do next?’
“As you talk, you put 100 Post-it notes on that map, each representing someone else’s project,” she said. “That gives people confidence. When you see all those Post-it notes, you know you aren’t out here working alone.”
This year’s ERIE conference, hosted by the Economic Research Institute of Erie, an applied research unit of Penn State Behrend’s Black School of Business, served the same function as that project map: It linked Wyrosdick and the leaders of other local economic initiatives for an in-depth, data-driven discussion of the region’s economic needs.
“This really is an all-hands-on-deck effort,” said John Persinger, CEO of the Erie Downtown Development Corp. “The cavalry is not coming to save us. The federal government is not going to bail us out. If we are going to turn the city around, we have to do it ourselves.”
Erie has lost 30 percent of its population since the 1960s. GE Transportation, which once employed 18,000 people in Erie County, will have fewer than 2,200 workers on-site by year’s end.
That makes Erie a “legacy” city, said Alison Goebel, executive director of the Greater Ohio Policy Center. Her keynote address at the ERIE conference benchmarked the local economy against what is being done in Akron, Scranton, Dayton and Flint, among other cities.
“The economy absolutely is changing in these places,” she said, “and the magnitude of the challenges means that no sector can successfully address them alone.
“This is everyone’s problem,” she said. “That means it’s also everyone’s opportunity. We need people to say, ‘I can contribute this, or this.’ When that happens — when a community makes deliberate efforts to include everyone in the recovery — that’s when you really begin to see momentum and growth.”
An engaged civic base is essential, Goebel said. Erie’s elected leaders appear to get that: Mayor Joe Schember and County Executive Kathy Dahlkemper both spoke at the ERIE conference. So did state Sen. Dan Laughlin.
They and others at the conference discussed the region’s ongoing economic-revival programs, including Erie Refocused, a 10-year comprehensive plan for housing, transportation and land use; Emerge 2040, Erie County’s master plan; and the Erie Equity Fund, which has raised $25 million to purchase and improve downtown properties.
Using economic analysis by Ken Louie, director of the Economic Research Institute of Erie and an associate professor of economics at Penn State Behrend, and Val Vlad, assistant professor of economics at the college, they explored the challenges that remain: a housing surplus, a high number of tax-exempt downtown properties, and a decline in the labor force participation rate.
Wyrosdick, the city planning director, returned to the question of confidence.
“We have great buildings, great parks and a bayfront that is second to none,” she said. “What we didn’t have, before this process started, was a unified vision. We have to believe that all these planning processes are working together.”
It won’t be a quick fix, Goebel said. Too many communities continue to struggle with these issues.
“There are so many cities that are still trying to figure this out,” she said. “The truth is, it’s going to be a long process. It took us a while to decline, and it’s going to take a while to dig ourselves out.”

Final chance to give to Combined Campaign is Nov. 3
University employees have until Nov. 3 to donate to the 2018 Lincoln-area Combined Campaign for Health and Human Services.
Through the first two weeks of the event, which concluded Oct. 27, employees at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln had donated a combined $178,954. Last year, Nebraska faculty and staff gave nearly $400,000 and the university finished among the top five in total dollars collected.
"Our university is part of this community, and we have an opportunity to give back to help those who are in need," Chancellor Ronnie Green said. "While we are all impacted differently, we can all unite by giving to the United Way or one of its partners. Please join me in taking action to make the lives of our children, families, neighbors and co-workers a little better.”
The Combined Campaign benefits three federations — Community Health Charities of Nebraska, Community Services Fund of Nebraska and United Way of Lincoln and Lancaster County. The three federations represent more than 130 local agencies that assist members of the community.
A variety of giving options are offered. Employees may give to any specific agency or to the three general funds.
This year marks the first digital campaign for the university — pledge packets will not be distributed, as in previous years. Using a web browser, click here to sign in with your NU ID and enter the password "gobigred." Once logged in, faculty/staff will be prompted to create a new password.
For those wishing to access a printable version of the pledge form, click here. Printed pledge forms can be brought to Kendra Ellis in 307 Canfield Administration.
Any technical questions can be directed to Michelle Campbell at [email protected] or 402-441-7173.
To date, Nebraska employees have contributed more than $7 million to the campaign.
Examples of how a gift — even a small one — can make an impact include:
A $10 donation can provide a backpack of food for a student over a weekend.
A $20 donation can provide a meal, blanket and comfort kit to an individual affected by a disaster.
A $50 donation can purchase sunscreen and beach towels for a Make-A-Wish Nebraska trip.
A $100 donation can provide rent or utility assistance to a struggling family.

Corporate mergers and acquisitions can be stressful. When employees hear that their company is part of such a deal, they instinctively worry about their jobs. Even with reassurances that there’s no need to worry about layoffs anytime soon, employees should expect changes in their benefit plans, particularly their 401(k)s or other retirement savings plans.
Among the closed-door meetings that take place prior to a takeover or merger, it is surprisingly common for benefit plans to be ignored, especially in the small plan market. This can be a disaster for plan sponsors and participants alike.
To best equip themselves to handle the situation, employees must understand the acquisition itself, the impact it will have on their plan and what they can do to prepare.
Two types of acquisitions
The key driver related to retirement plans is typically the type of acquisition: stock or asset purchase.
If the acquisition is an asset sale, the selling entity retains the responsibility for the 401(k) plan, and those employees retained from the selling entity are typically considered new employees of the buyer. With an asset purchase, it is rare the plans are merged. The plan of the selling entity is terminated or is kept open, and employees who no longer work for the selling company can request a distribution from the selling company plan.
If the acquisition is a stock purchase, the acquirer is purchasing the entity from the seller, including the benefit plans. The employees are usually treated as employees of the buyer, either directly or indirectly. What happens to the plan in this situation can vary based on what the acquirer decides. The potential outcomes for your 401(k) plan in a stock purchase sale are:
- Your plan could be terminated.
- Your plan could merge with the other company’s plan.
- Your plan may stay as is — meaning that both companies have separate plans.
Two examples to illustrate what can happen
Let’s use some examples to show you how this would look. To keep this simple, let’s assume the company you work for is Company A and that the acquiring company is Company B.
This event is highly probable with a stock sale. If the acquisition is an asset sale, however, this event is rare. In order for this event to occur in an asset sale, the seller must amend their plan document concurrent with the official acquisition date.
An important note for a stock sale: If the buyer does not want to merge the plans, the seller must terminate their plan before the closing date, which is typically a different calendar date than the close of the acquisition date. Once this date passes, the seller cannot terminate the plan. Three scenarios may happen:
- Company A’s plan is frozen and all new contributions go to Company B’s plan (in this scenario you will have two accounts).
- Company A’s plan is merged into Company B’s plan (most common).
- The companies may maintain both plans separately (the plans are tested as one entity — which can get tricky, but it is the second most common option).
With the most common approach, the plan sponsor must review both plans to ensure certain protected benefits are not eliminated, such as vesting and certain distribution events. Your assets are transferred to the new plan, typically on a predefined date, as soon as administratively possible within a year after the acquisition date. This means you will have a new investment menu, investment adviser connected to the plan and login credentials.
If Company A terminates its plan, your account will be 100% vested in all company monies and you will be able to request a distribution that is eligible for rollover.
If Company A maintains its plan and you are no longer employed by Company A, you can request a distribution only if you have a distributable event, such as termination of employment. If you start work with Company B, this is a distributable event as you are no longer employed by Company A. Keep in mind that if you do not roll over your monies, you will be subject to taxation, including the early withdrawal penalty if under age 55 at time of distribution.
What you can do
In most cases, the employees not involved in the transaction are surprised by an acquisition. If your employer is part of a merger or acquisition, review all of your benefit plan options. Be aware if you are a participant in a merged plan, the company match or profit-sharing component may change. This will affect your retirement planning and savings strategy.
Talk with your financial adviser about the plan, your contributions, investment choices and other details to make sure you are taking full advantage.

A report released last week into the working conditions of hundreds of thousands of women cleaning bedrooms and other hotel areas across the world. Published by Oxfam Canada, Tourism’s Dirty Secret examines the daily lives of housekeepers in Toronto, Canada, Punta Cana, Dominican Republic and Phuket, Thailand. It finds that: “The women who make hotel beds and clean hotel toilets labour long hours for meagre pay, face sexual harassment and intimidation, are exposed daily to toxic chemicals and live in fear of arbitrary dismissal.”
The report reveals how, in order to stay competitive, hotels are using fewer hotel housekeepers to do more strenuous work. These housekeepers are paid according to the number of rooms they clean. In Toronto, the average is between 10 and 17 rooms a day. In Phuket and Punta Cana, the average is higher still, with one housekeeper reporting that she cleans between 16 and 20 rooms daily and has to refresh an additional 90 rooms in the evening.
The pace and nature of the work is exhausting, with both the physical exertion and constant exposure to potentially toxic cleaning chemicals putting women’s health at risk. According to David Sanders, Organizing Director for Unite in Toronto, “The injury rate for room attendants in North America’s hotel industry is bigger than that in the meatpacking industry.” Meanwhile research in Sweden earlier this year found that out of 50 groups of female workers, hotel housekeepers are at the top of the list as regard injuries affecting the speed of upper arm movement, the greatest amount of bending forward of the back and the greatest strain on the lower arm.
Furthermore, a survey of 500 Chicago housekeepers by the union revealed that 58 per cent of housekeepers had been sexually harassed by guests. Finally, because their daily work is so long, exhausting and poorly remunerated, housekeepers also struggle to find adequate care for their children, a situation exacerbated for the many migrant women working as housekeepers who live far from their family support networks.
So what can be done? According to the report, the city of Seattle now requires hotels to provide panic buttons and post signs in hotel rooms denouncing harassment and informing guests of the buttons. Likewise this month, Chicago City Council passed the so-called “Hands Off, Pants On” Ordinance requiring Chicago hotel employers to provide all housekeepers and restroom workers who work alone with mobile notification devices or “panic buttons”. These summon hotel security or management to the employee’s location when he or she “reasonably believes that an ongoing crime, sexual harassment, sexual assault or other emergency is occurring in the employee’s presence.” Earlier this month in the UK, following the Global Hotel Housekeepers Week campaign (October 9 to 14), WGC, a UK supplier of hospitality and housekeeping services, said it would end zero hours contracts from November 1.
Oxfam is now publishing an online FairHotel Guide and app of socially responsible hotels, and a list of those currently on its boycott list. As well as the US FairHotels site, there are similar sites for hotels in Ireland, Slovenia, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Croatia. There is also an Oxfam campaign site at shortchanged.ca where people can sign up to express their support and keep the issue in the public eye. The growth in such moves to raise awareness – echoing the current focus on challenging sexual harassment at work – suggest that ever increasing transparency can, and must, shine an unwanted spotlight on those companies that continue profit while putting women’s welfare and safety at risk.
A couple of weeks ago the International Tourism Partnership announced the launch of its Vision 2030 goals, whereby its members, representing many of the biggest hotel groups in the world, have committed to focus on four of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Two of these are particularly relevant to this issue, as they are Human Rights and Youth Employment. According to ITP’s statement on human rights: “Labour rights issues – decent hours, contracts and pay – are global human rights. Where the law is insufficient to protect workers’ rights, the United Nations Guiding Principles put the onus on the business to protect them.”
If the industry needs an SDG to justify fair work for half the world’s population, it can choose between Goal 1 (End Poverty), Goal 3 (Good Health and Wellbeing), Goal 5 (Gender Equality), Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), Goal 10 (Reduce Inequalities) or Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). Because it’s one thing to claim tourism supports 1 in 11 of all jobs worldwide. It’s another to ensure those jobs are actually worth doing.

“Kiki Challenge” has gone over the internet, with various celebrities attempted to create their own version on the famous dance challenge.
One of the attempt that capture not just the eyes of the public but also their hearts. An eight year old cancer patient has posted her version to Drake’s hit song.
Abigail’s mother, Alyssa Lewis-Bridges, posted a video Friday of her and her daughter dancing to rapper Drake’s hit song.
Since then, the video has gotten more than two million views and thousands of shares. Facebook/Alyssa Lewis-Bridges
Amid the condition, the 8-year-old cancer patient in Arkansas isn’t letting her disease stop her from spreading joy.
Abigail Lewis busted a move to the “In My Feelings” challenge in a now-viral video, she sent a message of resiliency across the internet.
Abigail’s mother, Alyssa Lewis-Bridges, posted a video Friday of her and her daughter dancing to rapper Drake’s hit song. Abigail had seen the social media response others received when they did the challenge, so she wanted to show others what she’s capable of.
“Abigail told the nurses she had a surprise,” Alyssa wrote on Facebook. “When they asked, ‘for who?’ she said, ‘the world!’ Her brave soul can make someone believe in good again.”
As of Tuesday morning, the video had more than two million views, and the post had more than 48,000 shares and nearly 2,000 comments.
“Thanks for sharing! Keep fighting and dancing Abigail,” one Facebook commenter wrote.
“You go girl! My daughter is also fighting Ewing’s Sarcoma so we know how hard it is to stay so positive,” another said.
In the video, a smiling Abigail is wheeled out with her monitors. She and her mom quickly break out their dance moves — and the 8-year-old puts her own spin on it, posing and drawing laughs from her mom. They filmed the video at the Arkansas Children’s Hospital, where Abigail is undergoing treatment.
Abigail was diagnosed earlier this year with Ewing’s sarcoma, a rare bone cancer that strikes mostly teenagers and young adults, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Her mom has been sharing updates about Abigail’s treatment via a GoFundMe page.
“She’s so incredibly brave and she’s still my spunky girl,” Alyssa wrote on the fundraising page.
Alyssa shared an update video on Sunday in which Abigail thanked social media users for making her feel “like a celebrity.”
“Thank you for raising awareness for childhood cancer,” Alyssa said in the video. “And thank you for sharing a part of Abigail’s heart so she can ultimately tell her story to the world.”

With the rampant effect of global warming and intensive climate change, the Malaysian government has laid a huge sewage treatment plant.
The Malaysian government has aims to build 77 sewage treatment plants nationwide by 2040, says its Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib.
The priject was under the National Sewerage Catchment Strategy with an estimated allocation of RM52 billion of the government.
According to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, there are 46 regional sewage treatment plants had been built so far to preserve the quality of water sources in the country.
PM Najib also said Malaysia is lucky to have many sources of water, with 150 rivers had been identified as the main sources of raw water.
“However, with the global climate change and the decline in the quality of river water, Malaysia is now facing a shortage of raw water,” he said on the opening cereminy of the Pantai 2 Sewage Treatment Plant and Pantai Eco Park today.
In 2011, when the Pantai Sewage Treatment Plant project started and was completed at a cost of RM983 million.
According to Najib, three main causes of river pollution were the disposal of industrial sewage, domestic sewage and animal farming activity.
Furthermore, the Malaysian PM also said that the commitment from all quarters was vital to treat all kinds of sewage and industrial waste properly to ensure that water sources in the country were not polluted.
As of now, the plant now has the capacity to accommodate the needs of 1.42 million population equivalent up to the year 2035.
In fact, PM Najib said such a high capacity was capable of helping the government to increase sewerage services coverage for major towns nationwide by 2020.
Also, Malaysian top leader also noted that the plant was not only adopting with world-class green technology, but also the first underground sewage treatment plant in Malaysian and the largest in Asia Pacific.
Najib said the construction of the plant had also changed the perception that a sewage treatment plant is a dirty, smelly and an unpleasant place.
“We are gathered here today on top of a modern and clean sewage treatment plant, which is an innovation undertaken by the government for the wellbeing of the people.
“This area here, on top of the plant, will be used as recreational area, which is now known as Pantai Eco Park.
“What”s more interesting is that the 12-hectare Pantai Eco Park has been equipped with various facilities, such as community centre, jogging track, futsal court, football field and courts for other sports,” he said.
“I was made to understand that part of the treated wastewater produced will be used again for the treatment process, while the remaining will be used to wash and clean the equipment at the plant.
“At the same time, biogas will be used to generate electricity to support the operation of this plant,” he said, adding that the plant was also equipped with the infrastructure to harvest rainwater and solar energy.

So, I had my implant fitted exactly 7 days ago (I’ll tell you a little more information about the Nexplanon implant in the next post). I had read all sorts of horrifying stories and tales online from disgruntled users complaining about lots of nasty side effects. I set up this blog in an effort to untangle the myths from the truths about this form of contraception.
This blog aims to cover the process of fitting the implant, how I feel week on week, and any other issues or experiences I have with it in.
I hope you find this useful when deciding whether or not to go down this route!

I wrote this when my two boys, who are now teenagers, were one and four. I loved and doted on them, but to escape for a weekend was BLISSFUL!
I was amazed when BBC Year of the Artist published this poem on their website.
I’m “mum”, and I’m rushing to get out on time
I’m wiping a nose as I run
I’m rubbing a bruise and making a drink
And trying to make it all fun
I’m “wife”, and I try hard to cook a nice meal
And listen to troubles and woes
His work shirts are ironed, as crisp as can be
I kiss him good-bye as he goes
I’m “char lady”, make sure the house is kept clean
I sweep and I dust and I mop
I hoover and sparkle, and just the next week
I have to re-do the whole lot!
I’m “housekeeper” too, and I have to make sure
I stock up with food to the brim
With fruit, veg and meat, with goodies and treats
I don’t quite know where to begin
I’m “cook”, so I bake, and I stir fry, and more
I’m trying to think of a meal
I’m tired of my repertoire, worn out by food
Can’t think of a dish to appeal
I feel so segmented in all of these roles
Together they fly in the air
There’s many more balls, to juggle as well
It all seems a little unfair . . .
In this whirlwind of duties, I’m hidden below
Swallowed up by the jobs that I do
And the ‘me’ that I am does not get a chance
I’m bursting to try and break through
I want to discover the freedom I had
To be known and addressed by my name
Discover the talents I know that I’ve got
And do what I want for a change
Exhausted and worn out by routine, demands
I’m sinking, I’m sinking, where’s ‘me’?
To shake off mundane, the slog and the rest
I’m needing, right now, to be free
So what will I do? That’s the pleasure, you see
To do as a whim in a breeze
Relax and read books, go shopping, have tea
With only one person to please
To put on some make-up and clothes which are nice
To walk without pram or a list
To swing in big circles and jump in the air
To get to know me, I insist . . .
To try on those clothes, which I cannot afford
To eat with a civilized air
To look through my sunglasses, stare at the world
To look like I haven’t a care
The weekend was short, and the time went so quick
I’m loaded with dread of return
I love both my children, my husband, it’s true
But time spent with me’s what I yearn
Goodbye to myself, say goodbye for a while
I’m hoping we’ll meet again, please
So back to the cleaner, the cook and the rest
Goodbye to my weekend of ease

Gabbie aka: Gabriella Berthagen is one of a kind streamer that makes you just want to be there for her streams. I found her quite awhile ago from a facebook group where she posted “Come and steal my energy” and it actually worked! After a long day at doing work stuff her positive attitude just puts a smile to your face.
It is no wonder that she is also a partnered streamer! Here you can see the growth rate from sociablade about her.
What can you learn from her?
I highly suggest you to check her out. Her branding is awesome all across her social media and is clearly a brand that stands out. She also shares the lobe for others and thanks people in her twitter who are working with her.. Wait what? Isn’t that what everyone do?
Sadly no it isn’t. Some streamers tend to only be “Me me me” people that actually doesn’t help out. Twitch is a community and you are aiming to build a community around your brand. It’s not all about “Me me me”.
Check out what she writes on social media for branding and how she handles her schedule. Make pointers when you can and try to incorporate them into your own marketing.
From the actual stream i would suggest to check out how she keeps the chat alive and interacts with people. She is a pretty awesome streamer! 🙂 + She has the most cutest emotes that in itself makes you want to subscribe to her channel.

Jeremiah Traeger
Along with the belief that a cosmic being created the entire universe, was responsible for the entirety of the diversity of life on Earth, and that it’s really bad if you keep fapping, there often comes the idea of the soul. Somehow this soul may or may not be your mind, and is responsible for your moral decisions. The soul represents the “ghost in the machine”, the concept that somehow you are a type of spirit inhabiting a corporeal form, making decisions until your body dies and you get sent to your eternal destination.
The idea that somehow we are making free decisions using our soul independent of our bodily function is one of the guiding assumptions behind libertarian free will. This has nothing to do with the political affiliation, and when most people think of free will this is the concept they are most likely envisioning. It is a basic foundational assumption of Christian apologetics, as it is a common response to arguments like the problem of evil or why the Christian god doesn’t save people in mass shootings. An excerpt from Theopedia illustrates this concept..
While as an atheist I certainly don’t think my choices have anything to do with any deity, based on the scientific evidence I cannot decouple my choices from my physical being. As far as I can tell, I am my brain, and my brain is subject to the same physical laws everything else is subject to. Since my mind is mostly a result of patterns of electrochemical signals, which are physical processes, the choices that I make are mostly the end result of matter and forces moving through the universe.
Keep in mind, just because we are simply the result of the laws of nature doesn’t mean that I can treat myself and others the same as the inanimate objects that surround me. I can still recognize agency in humans and other animals. Perhaps I am just matter in motion, but I still value happiness and joy and loathe pain and suffering. I can see the consequences that my actions have on others’ personhood. While the underlying mechanisms behind how people function are nothing more than the natural mechanisms found everywhere else, the fact that we function in an emotional, intelligent way is profound in itself. We have great reason to value the fluorishing of all those around us simply based on the knowledge that we are thinking and feeling beings.
Even absent physical explanations for how our minds work, this type of free will is nonsensical. I came to this conclusion after listening to Sam Harris talk about this. In his speech below (and likely in his book, which I haven’t read), he describes how our minds come to conclusions almost absent our own input. When we try and come up with something like our favorite city, names of cities pop up in our heads absent any effort from ourselves. When we try and come to a conclusion on something, there is a time when we are unsure of our position, and then a time when we have our opinion. The idea that our “self” ever actually gets to decide on anything before we arrive at our conclusions is like coming up with the concept that we decide something before we decide it. This is a nonsensical concept whether or not we have a soul. Libertarian free will can’t exist. Sam Harris illustrates it much better than I can, so I recommend listening to him when you have the time.
Free will is often portrayed as some lofty, ivory tower based concept that old white men debate in philosophy departments. Perhaps that even is the case, but maybe it shouldn’t be. Whether or not free will exists in our universe is a fact, and as a result has an effect on our everyday lives. It’s possible that being wrong about free will doesn’t just mean that we’re wrong about some abstract idea. In fact, I’d submit that thinking that we are free agents holds humanity back in demonstrable ways.
This is actually quite apparent to any atheist who has engaged in debates and arguments with apologists for any amount of time. The apologist is no stranger to telling the atheist that “you choose to believe in god or not”, or that “you choose for yourself to go to Heaven or Hell.” They are still operating on the nonsensical idea that somehow we as free agents are choosing to believe something or not. That simply isn’t the case, though, and we will often come to our beliefs before we even know that we hold a certain belief. Our beliefs aren’t some decision that our soul picks out based on weighing different evidences we have filed away in our brain wrinkles. Our mind has evaluated the evidence we’ve been able to absorb and experience, and tries to create a coherent model for ourselves such that we can function in the real world.
Of course, this means that we ultimately have no choice whether or not we believe in a god, but this is not immediately apparent to the person who still thinks we can choose our beliefs. To the theist, we appear to have maliciously chosen to reject their loving creator and all that is good (especially if they hold the belief that their god has revealed himself in everyone’s heart). It doesn’t matter that many of us have taken a look at the evidence for a divine creator, found it lacking, and our brains shifted to a worldview absent of a god. From the outside, it appeared that some agent flipped a switch on our belief, however inaccurate that is. This means that every instance of discrimination based on belief system is based on something completely out of our control. Every time a parent tells a college student they can’t return home because they’re not Christian, every time someone leaves their spouse for abandoning the faith, every time a school bullies an atheist, it’s for doing something that they essentially had no say over.
We go about our lives acting as if everyone around us is some independent free spirit, choosing whether or not to take a certain action or say a certain thing. To an extent that’s true, but we fail to recognize the sheer amount of cognitive activity going on in our minds subconsciously. We fail to recognize that when someone is irrational, it’s not always due to some independent agent deciding to think poorly. We are all products of our brain functions, and we have plenty of unconscious biases and poor cognitive functions. We all have our mental blocks and irrational beliefs, and sometimes we have faulty memories or unreliable experiences to back up what we think. It makes sense that as a society that we should hold each other accountable when we are wrong or behaving poorly, but it would be best to do this while keeping in mind how our own will works.
Consider how our justice system is constructed. For many of our crimes, we enforce prison sentences, where society locks us away from those who are free. The idea is often that we punish criminals such that they “learn their lesson” and decide for their own selves not to do something poorly. We’ve also convinced ourselves that if we set up a punishment stick by having strict laws that people will be afraid to commit crimes in the first place. As we all know, that really doesn’t bear out. The presence of punishment does not serve to make us “behave”, it simply makes us work to avoid the punishment. Our prisons may be “punishment”, but the mere isolation from society in a harsh environment doesn’t really teach us anything. Prisons are fairly lacking in resources to help us learn better ways to avoid misbehaving in the future, such as psychological services or education and jobs programs. We feel somehow that the people in prison deserve what they get based on their free will choices, instead of considering the environments and conditions that caused them to behave the way they did. It’s much easier to chalk everything up to a lawbreaker’s choices and blame them rather than help them make better choices in the future.
Free will also matters we engage in discourse. The old mantra of “sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me” rests on the assumption that if we hear something, we can just walk away. We can do this to a large extent, but there are a lot of underlying processes in our head that guide our behavior and our performance. One of the first things I was taught as a graduate TA was that reminding minorities and women of their stereotypes in society caused them to perform differently on exams. This doesn’t happen with white people or men. Most people have the attitude that if something is distressing they should just look away and go somewhere else, but this literally makes people perform worse in schools (in a sexist and racist way, no less).
This also ties into the “trigger warning” debate. A lot of the discourse has been lost on this topic because many think that being triggered literally just means getting offended. But for those who suffer from panic attacks or have PTSD, it’s a lot more than that. If we were just souls controlling some human meat suit, perhaps we could just walk away from something “we don’t like”. But alas, we are performing as a function of our brain activity. A triggering event can easily cause a panic attack, which for completely irrational reasons can cause someone to shut down and stop functioning for a minute or two. They could dissociate from their surrounding environment, often for a period of several days. Conservatives often blame people who suffer from these conditions and say they’re getting whiny and offended. They want those who suffer from mental conditions to “buck up”, and blame them for not trying hard enough. This makes sense under a libertarian free will model, where we actually choose our emotions, our behaviors, and our basic neural responses. The problem is, science doesn’t corroborate this at all. Libertarian free will completely ignores the very real mental barriers that can prevent us from behaving in an ideal manner. We can’t just “choose” how to feel, and what soul would possibly freely choose a panic attack? In that sense, libertarian free will is ableist.
Libertarian free will is thoroughly anti-skeptical. Within skepticism circles, we talk all the time about avoiding biases and correcting for them. I suspect that we don’t do a good enough job correcting for our biases, as a holdover from when we viewed ourselves as pure, independent agents capable of making our own rational decisions. While most skeptics champion the use of eliminating bias, the dominant behavior right now appears to be chalked up to saying “don’t be biased” and stopping right there. What we don’t realize is that regardless of how we want to believe, we are all biased. For example, as a result of our human nature, we are all subject to implicit bias, and there’s very little we can do about it. Without thinking about it, we really do treat people of races other than our own differently, and most Americans at least unconsciously think of white people superior to those who are black. The same is the case with women, as we think of them as worse leaders. This is almost unavaoidable. We are not some free spirit making purely logical evaluations based on our environment, we have internalized many attitudes from our culture as we developed and that has partially made us into who we are. It doesn’t work to just tell ourselves to “not be racist” or “not be sexist”. We have to actively counter our bias, and second guess where our criticisms are coming from.
Hopefully I’ve illustrated some very good examples of why libertarian free will is harmful. We are more susceptible to harm when our model of the universe is inaccurate, and this is just one instance. We aren’t free souls making entirely free decisions independently of our bodily functions. Mind-body dualism is garbage. We need to recognize our own agencies for what they are: physical brains inhabiting a physical universe due to natural laws. We need to recognize all the biases, instincts, and hurdles that come with that. The more we treat people as they truly are, the better off we will be.

This is an excellent read – you are completely right about the targeting of prisoners instead of their environmental circumstances, and about the dangers of the “libertarian free will” untruth. Bulls-eyes on all scores, here.

NORWALK, Conn. -- Residents of Norwalk know they are pretty wealthy, but according to a recent survey by NerdWallet , the city comes in as the fifth-wealthiest city in the Northeast, behind Stamford, which ranked as the second-wealthiest city, New Rochelle, N.Y., which ranked third, and Cambridge, Mass., which came in fourth in the Top 10.
The wealthiest city in America is Palo Alto, Calif., NerdWallet's survey found. In the Northeast, Newton, Mass., a suburb west of Boston, topped the list.
NerdWallet, a personal finance website, looked at about 500 cities with populations greater than 65,000 and analyzed median income, home values, credit limits and percentage of homes without mortgages.
How Norwalk ranked:
- Median household income of $75,285.
- Median home value of $373,300.
- Average credit limit of $47,736.
- 27 percent of homes have no mortgage.
According to the survey, Newton’s high average credit limit and high home values placed it ahead of the other top 10 cities. The average credit limit in Newton was $70,822, almost $19,000 higher than New Rochelle. And, Newton’s median home value was $886,400, $200,000 more than Cambridge, Mass., which had the second-highest in the Northeast, at $649,000, said NerdWallet.

NORWALK, Conn. -- A Norwalk man pleaded guilty to distributing heroin that caused a fatal overdose in Bridgeport last year, according to Deirdre M. Daly, United States Attorney for the District of Connecticut.
Richard Piske, 34, of Norwalk pleaded guilty in federal court on Thursday to one count of distribution of heroin.
According to court documents, Bridgeport Police and emergency medical personnel responded to a report of an apparent overdose in the early morning hours of June 29, 2016. When they arrived, they found a 25-year-old woman dead on a bedroom floor. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined that the woman died of acute heroin, cocaine and alcohol intoxication.
An investigation revealed that the day before, the woman's boyfriend had purchased a quantity of heroin from Piske and that later that day, she and her boyfriend had ingested some of the heroin they purchased, Daly said. The boyfriend reported that the had passed out from the heroin, and that when he awoke, his girlfriend was dead.
Piske was arrested on Sept. 29, 2016, and was released on a $25,000 bond. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 15, at which time he faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.

stone contained in a wire cage. The bridge itself made from leaves of deep red card formed into an arch. No glue, no nails, just gravity to hold it together.
I visited the bridge earlier on today to help out a little by counting visitors and asking people to fill in questionnaires but mainly to look and take pictures. What an absolute delight! I present here a selection of pictures. Click on them for high-res versions.
First view of the bridge on the 3km walk in.
Information Sign.
Dwarfed by the surrounding.
The formers used to construct the bridge
Turn out was fantastic with over a thousand people visiting today despite the 3km walk in and the biting wind!
On the left: Steve Messam. He’s photographing Alan Hinkes on the bridge. Alan was the first mountaineer to climb all 8000m+ mountains on earth. Amazing who you meet out on the hills!
Here’s Steve’s photo of Alan:

A bit of background on how I know Steve. Back in 2004 (!) Steve invited me to exhibit at his gallery, The Fold Gallery in Kirby Steven. The resulting exhibition ‘Paper Cut’ was my first, and so far only one man exhibition. There are still a few traces online here.

The vast majority of estate plans work exactly as they are intended to-assets are administered and distributed in the manner outlined by the creator of the estate plan to benefit their chosen beneficiaries. But, for the estate plans that fail to achieve their creators’ goals, the plan’s failure may not be the only negative consequence. Depending on the reasons and severity of the failure, an estate or fiduciary litigation matter may be commenced.
Estate and fiduciary litigation is a broad category that includes all litigation matters related to estates and trusts brought in the New York Surrogate’s Court. Each county of New York (including each of the five boroughs) has a Surrogate’s Court that handles the administration of its residents’ estates and trusts as well as any litigation related thereto. Unlike traditional civil litigation, litigation in the Surrogate’s Court is guided by two estate and trust specific statutes, the Estates Powers and Trust Law (E.P.T.L.) and the Surrogate’s Court Procedure Act (SCPA).
Among the common forms of estate litigation are the following:
Will Contests-If an interested party does not believe that a will submitted for probate accurately reflects a Decedent’s wishes and intentions, he or she may contest the will’s validity. The two most common objections to a will’s validity are that the Decedent lacked testamentary capacity or that the Decedent was unduly influenced by another party.
Testamentary capacity is presumed unless a challenging party can establish that the Decedent, at the time the Will was executed, was unaware of certain information. This includes the extent and value of his or her property; who the natural beneficiaries of his or her estate were; what the disposition under the Will being offered was; and how these elements combine to form a plan for distribution. If the challenging party can show that the Decedent lacked one or more of these elements, the offering party will be forced to rebut the presumption of incapacity.
Establishing that a party was unduly influenced requires that the challenging party show that the Decedent was controlled or dominated by a relative or advisor to the specific benefit of that relative or advisor. It is also necessary to show that the Decedent would not have made the dispositions he or she made without the influence of that advisor or relative. If the advisor or relative uses their influence to benefit another rather than themselves, a claim for fraud may also be made.
Construction Proceedings-If a will or trust is drafted in a manner that makes the disposition of property unclear, the court may be asked to interpret the document and decide how property will pass. This type of proceeding may be sought when the assets of an estate are insufficient to make all the required bequests and the fiduciaries and beneficiaries cannot agree on how to distribute the remaining property.
In making its determination, the Court will look to the document first and determine if the Testator or Grantor’s intention can be determined. If it cannot be determined by the document alone, the parties seeking a specific construction will be required to submit evidence that establishes what the Testator or Grantor’s intent was when executing the document in question.
Contested Accountings-All fiduciaries are required to periodically account for their actions as a fiduciary and provide a statement of what assets were collected and disbursed from an estate or trust. An accounting is often filed with the Surrogate’s Court as a way to obtain approval over a fiduciary’s actions.
If the beneficiaries of an estate or trust are unsatisfied with the fiduciaries’ actions, they may contest the accounting and seek sanction or removal of that fiduciary. Objections include a failure of a fiduciary to prudently invest; a failure to properly marshal the assets; a failure to make adequate distributions; a fiduciary engaging in self-dealing; and other claims of misconduct.
Removal Proceedings-The information gathered during an accounting procedure may be used as a basis to seek the removal of a fiduciary. In New York, the removal of a fiduciary is difficult to achieve and a clear showing of misconduct must be made. Examples of conduct that may lead to removal include fraud; self-dealing (unless directly authorized by the will or trust instrument); gross mismanagement of the estate or trust funds; and failing to abide by court orders.
As with any form of litigation, estate and fiduciary litigation can be extremely costly. But, unlike most civil litigation, the subject matters of these forms of litigation are exceedingly personal and achieving a “happy ending” for individuals and families becomes incredibly difficult. The best solution is to ensure your estate planning is executed properly, your fiduciaries are selected with care and that your wishes are expressed as clearly as possible. This may not guarantee that your family can avoid litigation, but it can dramatically reduce the chances that it will become a possibility.

EXCLUSIVE
City officials are looking at converting the parking lot behind the medical examiner’s office – where the remains of hundreds of 9/11’s unidentified victims are kept – into a beautiful serenity park, The Post has learned.
The parking lot – which has been dubbed “Memorial Park” – would become a virtual shrine, where family members would be able to visit their loved ones’ remains in greater comfort and, possibly, for several more hours each day than is possible now.
The changes would alter the current system, where families have a few hours each day to visit the white tent at East 30th Street, under which 16 refrigerated trailers hold thousands of unidentified remains.
“I think the physical structure will be much more conducive to serenity,” said Kathy Ashton, who lost her son, Tommy.
“For 50 percent of the people, this is their cemetery right now. This is the place where they can go and pray,” added Ashton, noting that many leave candles, flowers and other mementos.
City Community Affairs Unit Commissioner Jonathan Greenspun said, “In an effort to provide the proper dignity and respect for the remains of those killed on 9/11, the city is exploring plans to enhance the current facilities.” Officials wouldn’t provide specifics, saying plans are still being looked at and no final decision has been made.
Christy Ferer, the mayor’s liaison to the victims’ relatives, who lost her husband, PA head Neil Levin, is working on securing private funds for the effort.
Sources said architects are working pro bono on helping to design the area.
Of the 2,800 victims of the World Trade Center attacks, only about half have been identified. There are more than 19,900 body parts that haven’t been identified.
Medical Examiner Dr. Charles Hirsch and his staff have been working tirelessly to identify as many remains as possible, hoping to use new techniques, including DNA analysis.
Hirsch said there will soon be no need for the trailers, since his office is using a new process of “air drying” remains, which allows for better preservation of the DNA.
Hirsch said the current “Memorial Park” has been a place of solemn remembrance for many families so far, but added, “I think we can do better, because [the remains are] going to be here for a while.”
Ashton praised the proposed interim park, saying it’s “a really beautiful thing for the families,” who don’t “have the place, that private, personal place to go yet.”
No decision has been made about what will happen to the unidentified remains.
Several family members have supported a sort of “Tomb of the Unknowns,” which would be part of the permanent Ground Zero memorial.

2019 Elections: Odisha Congress approves names of 44 candidates in first phase
Bhubaneswar: As part of its ongoing strategy to reorganize the party ahead of the upcoming general elections, the Odisha Congress’ pradesh election committee (PEC) today finalized the names of 44 probable candidates in the first phase.
Though the date for official declaration of the candidates is yet to be announced, Odisha Congress chief Niranjan Patnaik informed that the names of candidates have been selected keeping in view their winning prospects.
Sources said it is for the first time that the Congress has gone for early allotment of party tickets.
“Though we had earlier announced to finalise names of probable candidates by August end, today we zeroed in on the names of candidates for 44 Assembly constituencies in Odisha. This time, we have recommended names keeping in mind the winning prospects and emphasis has been laid on youth leaders,” said Patnaik.
It is pertinent to mention here that in the last two days, the top Congress leadership including members of the PEC and screening committee have been brainstorming to select candidates for the upcoming polls.
A report will be sent to the central election committee (CEC) and All India Congress Committee (AICC) president, Rahul Gandhi for approval, informed party’s Odisha-in-charge, Jitendra Singh.
“Today, a discussion was held with PEC members, working presidents on 44 seats. The leaders shared their recommendations and it has been unanimously decided to give priority to young leaders who are working at the grassroots,” said Singh.
Singh further stated that the process of ticket allotment and announcement of names of candidates will be taken up by the screening committee and central election committee in subsequent phases.
At a time when the Congress seems to be in poll mode, the party got a major jolt after MLA Krushna Chandra Sagaria resigned from the post of PCC general secretary.
Sagaria alleged that he took the decision after he was humiliated and removed from PCC SC Cell chairman post.
“If I am unfit as OPCC SC cell chairman, then how can I work for the party as general secretary? The manner in which I was removed, I cannot work under such conditions. I want to ask PCC president whether he really wants to reorganize the Congress or his own personal relationship within the party?” alleged Sagaria.
PCC working president, Pradeep Majhi on the other hand stated that efforts will be undertaken to resolve all issues within the party.
“Discussions will be held with Sagaria to resolve his grievances and all matters will be sorted out,” said Majhi.

Heavy rain brings Odisha to halt; Normal life hit in Twin City
Bhubaneswar: Incessant rainfall over the last 24 hours due to the low-pressure over the Bay of Bengal has thrown normal life out of gear in several parts of Odisha including the twin city of Cuttack and Bhubaneswar.
Several areas in Cuttack have been waterlogged following heavy downpour since last night while water has rushed into many houses in low-lying areas at Pithapur, Sutahat, Roxy Lane, Badambadi, Tulasipur, Deula Sahi, Kanika Chhak, Shelter Chhak, Rajabagicha and Dolamundai.
The traffic movement in the city came to a grinding halt today, as water from drains flowing on the roads inundated several localities.
Meanwhile, local residents in Cuttack have blamed the lack of preparedness on part of Cuttack Municipal Corporation (CMC) and district administration to deal with such emergency.
“Already the Met department had forecast heavy rain. Today’s waterlogging clearly shows that no concrete measures were undertaken by the authorities in advance,” said Sushant Muduli, a local resident.
Following the deluge, Odisha government ordered the closure of all schools and educational institutions in Cuttack and Bhubaneswar today.
“Since 4 am, we are awake as water started to enter the houses in our locality. We had to move all the household articles to safer places,” said Suresh, a resident of Pithapur.
Normal life in Bhubaneswar was also adversely affected following the heavy rain with residents of Acharya Vihar, Nayapalli, Jaydev Vihar, Patia and Sailashree Vihar battling with waterlogging. Local residents blamed the authorities of Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC) for failing to resolve waterlogging issues.

Apart from Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, normal life across Odisha was also adversely affected today. Rituals at Alarnath temple in Brahmagiri of Puri district had to be stopped after rain water entered the temple premises today. Devotees blamed poor drainage systems for such chaos at the scared shrine.

Devotees from across the State who have thronged Puri for the ‘Bahuda Yatra’ of the Trinity to be celebrated tomorrow were also left in lurch as they had to wade through knee deep waters.
Several areas including Badadanda, Market Chhak and Marchikote Chhak area of the town remained waterlogged following the heavy rain that lashed the city since yesterday.

TIPS FOR LADAKH
There are several things which have to be taken into account while being the process of planning ladakh tour packages from mumbai and other cities across the city. Ladakh is a winter desert and hence the biggest concern is the climate. The best time period for visiting the exotic Himalayan locations of Ladakh is between the months of May to September. The weather is pleasantly cold. However, the weather of this place is notoriously infamous for drastic temperature changes within couple of hours. Hence, keeping warm clothes while packing for ladakh tourism always comes in handy.
Permits and passports are next concerns to be addressed by people contemplating to visit Ladakh and adjoining areas. While the Indian nationals do not require any permit to visit Leh, foreign nationals on leh ladakh tour are required to secure permits for doing so. Ladakh lies in a politically sensitive place near international borders. Hence, specific places like Tsokar and Pangong lakes; Nubra Valley, Dhahanu, Tsomoriri, etc require tourist permits to be secured for all. These permits can be availed from the District Magistrate of Leh through travel agents for ladakh tour packages.
Cash and currency is the next point of concern. Not many hotels except cards and those do so, charge service tax at 2 percent. Presence of ATM machines is also limited and only for specific banks. Hence, it is advisable to keep surplus amount of cash within reach, but of course with safe precautions. Even during best time to visit ladakh, one would discover that communication lines are hampered due to the extreme high mountainous terrain coupled with frequent disruptions round the year due to extreme conditions. Hence, all communications should be fulfilled during day time. There are not many STD centres which operate late in the night.
Fully laden medicine kit is another suggestion which ladakh tour packages operators give to tourists. Ladakh is sure to entice you into some form of adventure sports. Hence, fully geared First Aid box is a must. Moreover, those on medication should have surplus medicine supply at their disposal since the local medical shops do not have a large domain of medicine stock. Furthermore, in the event of bad weather causing you to get stuck, surplus availability of medicine is always reckoned. These are some of tips and suggestions which one should follow during ladakh tourism.

You might have heard a lot of talk about the Hero World Challenge this weekend. Like, more than you’ve ever heard in your life. You probably didn’t even know it was a golf tournament before now; it sounds like a contest for gladiators, or sandwich artists.
The reason this obscure event was the talk of the sporting world? It marked the return of Tiger Woods to professional golf. After a 15-month hiatus brought on by mutiple back surgeries, the former world no. 1 finally teed off in front of cameras. Early reports of Woods’ play have been positive; he even shot a bogey-free second round on Friday. But it’s one thing to perform like this against an 18-player field in a tournament Woods’ organizes himself. It’s another to do it when the field is 70 strong.
At 40 years old, the questions around Woods are no longer “will he ever catch Nicklaus?” Now, fans just want to know if they’ll ever get another glimpse of the Tiger of old. We’re curious too, and we’ve compiled some odds to help answer the question.
His last tour win was the Bridgestone Invitational back in 2013, and while the highlights from the Hero World Challenge were encouraging, it’s still unclear if he can combine it all into one great weekend. Even if he does, the PGA field has changed quite a bit since Tiger last won. Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy, and Dustin Johnson have all emerged as true forces on tour. Woods could have a great weekend, and still not be guaranteed victory if one of them gets hot.
Even at his peak, Woods was never a high-volume golfer. He hasn’t played in 20 or more events since 2005. Now with the health of his back under constant monitoring, it’s hard to envision him pushing it to the limit next year.
Woods’ downfall really began back in 2010, but he’s still made the cut in 84-percent of the events he’s entered since then.
Woods avaeraged one withdrawal a season since 2010, but he began this season dropping out of events before his back had a chance to bother him. A sign of maturity?
As long as Tiger tees off at Augusta, this one is a lock. Woods hasn’t missed a cut at the Masters since 1996! It was his only major success during his doomed 2015 campaign (finishing tied for 17th), as he whiffed on the other three.
His iconic 2008 U.S. Open win, on essentially one leg, is already a part of golfing lore. But should Woods never turn it around, it could also be remembered as the last major championship Tiger ever won. Woods’ highest finish in a major since 2010 was tying for third at the 2012 British Open. Yet all of golf knows how dangerous he can be when he’s in reach on a Sunday. He has an intimidation factor that few others in the sport possess.
Even as he gets older, Tiger’s window will never truly be closed until he decides to put away the clubs for good. Phil Mickelson – six years his senior – still seems to challenge for a major every year. Even Tom Watson nearly won the Open Championship at 59 years old.
Ranked 897th headed into this weekend’s Hero World Challenge, you could say Woods has a little climbing to do. It’ll take a lot more than one or two flashes of old Tiger for him to recapture the World no. 1; it would take basically a whole season of domination like he was once famous for.
We’ve all dreamed of retiring young. Just calling it quits and traveling the world, playing golf. But that’s what Woods does already. Even if his back goes haywire again this year, I don’t think he’ll give up his tour card anytime soon..

Client: Historic Hotel
Location: Bath
OnSite Central Ltd were tasked with providing a solution for repairing a defective, 125 year old, 50m length of 225mmØ foul sewer, which ran through the vaults of a Victorian building that is now one of the most prestigious hotels in central Bath.
Access to the site was such that even completing an initial CCTV investigation required a very demanding confined space entry. The survey was carried out from an existing manhole inside a vault, downstream to the main sewer that was directly above an old coal bunker. The survey identified that the sewer was suffering from heavy encrustation and scale build up and was heavily fractured adjacent to a live lateral connection.
Solution
The solution was derived from the following combined client & safety requirements:
- A structural liner was required that would give maximum flow volume after repair
- The method of installation had to take into account the lack of any natural ventilation to the working area
- Access to the main sewer would require some construction from within the coal bunker
Specialist contractor Aqua Management Ltd, enabled access to main sewer by drilling a temporary access tunnel from a vault above the coal bunker, through the main sewer and into the coal bunker.
The encrustation & scale within the sewer was removed using one of OnSite’s hydraulic cutting robots from the upstream manhole inside the vault. The arisings were then removed with a bespoke “pig” cleaning system which was winched through the sewer from the new tunnel access inside the coal bunker.
The liner was then manually winched into position from the new access point in the coal bunker to the upstream manhole in the vault. The UV light train was installed from the same manhole into the liner, and cured in place.
All works were programmed between Onsite Central Ltd & Aqua Management who collaborated to complete this challenging engineering task in a remarkable three days.
“Once again, OnSite proved that great solutions can be provided through collaborative working”

Two cable car turntables, having slots underneath the surface platform Wide enough at the ends to permit the table to turn a quarter round Without interfering with the. cable, are eqUivalent structures, when each is composed of a surface platform comprising two semicircular parts, with a slot betweeJ;l for the passage of the griper shank, such parts resting upon supports, which, in the one case, are attached below to a secondary table supported by a vertical spindle stepped in a bearing at the bottom of the pit, and,in the other case, to end timbers running crosswise beneath the cable, and resting upon semicircular rails, which travel upon pulleys journaIed into the bottom of the pit.
2.
SAME-METHOD OF QPERATION-DESCRIP'l'ION
A patent for .turntables for' transferring cable cars from one track to the other, in which the only method of operation described requires the use of duplicate tables operated simultaneously, does not cover the use of a single table for that purpose, although the claim may be sufficient, in itself, to include it, and the single table is an equivalent structure to each table of the patent.
3.
SAME-PRIORITy-DATE OF ApPLICATIONS-EvIDENCE.
A patentee, who, by evidence, carries back the date of his invention beyond the date of the application for a rival patent, which was first issued, will be adjudged the first inventor, when there is no evidence to carry back the rlval invention.

SAME-PAR'1'lCULAR PATENTS.
Letters patent No. 181,817, issued September 5, 1876, to Joseph Britton, for cable railway turntables for transferring cars from one track to the other, is limited to the use of duplicate tables, and does not cover the use of a single table to accomplish the same function.
In Equity. 'Suit.by the Pacific Cable Railway Company against the Butte City Street Railway Company for infringement of a pat· ent. Bill dismissed. Wm. F. Booth and O. P. Drennen, for complainant. Geo. H. Knight, F. T. McBride, and Geo. Haldorn, for defendant. KNOWLES, District Judge. In this case, plaintiff brings suit in equity against defendant, asking that it be enjoined from using a certain turntable in connection with its Butte City Street Rail. way, Mont., and for an accounting of profits derived from such use. The ground of plaintiff's claim is that it owns a patent for this turntable, dated September 5, 1876, the same being numbered 181,. 817. The patent was issued to one Joseph Britton, and, it is alleged, assigned to plaintiff by him. It is alleged in the bill that defendant is infringing the following two claims in said patent:
Claim 2: "A turntable provided with a slot and passage or chamber extending across it above the point of support of said table, and below its surface, where said chamber is made wide enough at each end to permit a propelling rope or cable to pass through it, and at the same time permit the table to make a quarter rotation without interfering with the rope or cable, substantially as and for the purpose set forth." Claim 3: "A turntable consisting of the two upper sections, B, B, con-

nooted with secondary tables or platforms, C, C, on alternate sides of the center,so as to leave a free space beneath the opposite halves of the 'sec· tions, B, B, sUbstantially as and for the purposes set forth."
If the patent of plaintiff can be so construed as to apply to a single turntable, it would appear that defendant had infringed the same. The turntable used by defendant is cdnstructed, I think, snbstantially as one of the tables, taken alone, specified in plaintiff's patent. It has a surface composed of two semicircular platforms. Between them is a slot, along which the griping device of the cable car can pass. Beneath this surface, the cable to a point beyond the table, to a sheave, around which it passes. In defendant's table the front and back timbers are placed a suffi· cient distance below the surface of the car as to allow the cable to pass over them. These timbers are connected to the surface platforms by means of columns; on the sides of the tables are timbers attached to the surface thereof, and extending latterly be· tween tb,e columns, and attached thereto. Below the timbers are semicircular rails or timbers attached thereto, and these travel upon pulleys journaled into the bottom of the pit in which the turntable is placed. Plaintiff's table is thus described in the specifications in the patent:
"In constructing these tables, I make the upper portion of each in two sections, B, B, and these sections I connect with a secondary table or plat· form, 0, which is supported at a short distance below by a vertical spindle or shaft, d, which steps in a suitable bearing, e, at the bottom of the exca· vation, so that it can rotate horizontally. The table sections, B, are made in the form of a semicircle, and are placed at a short distance apart, so that when they are connected with the platform, C, on the same plane, they form a circular table, with a slot or opening, f, between them. The two sections of each turntable are connected with the platform, C, beneath, by a connection, G, upon opposite sides of the center, leaving a free or open space beneath the opposite half of each section."
It appears to me that the end timbers below the surface in de· fendimt's table occupy the place and perform the functions of the lower platform, 0, C, in plaintiff's table, and that the pulleys journaled into the bottom of the pit, in connection with the semicircular rails, in defendant's table, perform the same function as the spindle in plaintiff's table. The question then arises, are they mechanical equivalents for the devices in plaintiff's patent? An "equivalent" is defined in Walker on Patents (sections 352--354) as a device "which performs the same function as another," and "in substantially the same way as by the thing- of which it is alleged to be an equivalent." In the case of Imhaeuser v. Buerk, 101 U. S. 656, the supreme court says of equivalents:
"Hence, it follows that a party who merely substitutes another old In· gredient for one of the ingredients of the patented combination, is an in· fringer, if the substitute performs the same function as the ingredient for which it,is substituted, and it appears that it was well known at the date of the patent that is was adaptable to that use."
Again, in the case of Meter Co. v. Desper, Id. 335, the supreme court says:
422
FEDERAL BEPORTER,
"It is< equally wellimown that if any of the parts is only formally omitted, and fssupplied by a mechanical equivalent performing the same office, and producing the same result, the patent is infringed." .
It will seen from this that, in such a mechanical device as the tables under consideration, an equivalent is not the same thing, but somethmg that performs the same function. In some cases, a spring catch has been held the of.a catch that operates by means of a gravity weight. In some other cases, a lever has been termed the equivalent of a screw. Walk. Pat. § 353. . In the case of device, the end timbers, as I have called them, hold, by their connection with the connecting columns, the two semicircles together, and constitute them one machine, the same as the lower platform in plaintiff's patent, by means of the connecting columns attached thereto, connecting it with the semicircle sections at the surface, constitute that one table or machine. The pulleys journaled into the bottom of the pit, and the curved rails, perform the same function as the spindle in plaintiff's patent. The table rests upon them, and is turned around thereon. fIn Walker on Patents, there is a contention as to whether the equivalents shoUld have been known at the time of the application for a patent, or not. There is no point made upon this question, in this case, and, the nature of the equivalents, I don't how it could arise. It is claimed, however, that plaintiff's patent is void for the reason that it was covered by a prior invention made by one William Eppelsheimer, for which he received a patent before the date of plaintiff's patent, and for which he made an application on June 28, 1875. It would appear, however, from undisputed evidence, that Britton invented his patented device, and constructed tables embracing the same, which was put into practical use on the Clay Street Hill Railway, in San Francisco, Cal., prior to the application of Eppelsheimer for his patent. We cannot go back of the date of the application of Eppelsheimer, in this case, to detellmine when he invented his device. There is no evidence upon this point. I, therefore, must find that Britton was the prior inventor of the table in controversy, and, although the Eppelsheimer patent was prior in date to plaintiff's, it does not supersede or avoid the same. From this discussion, I am led to the point where I must construe plaintiff's patent, and determine what it is entitled to thereunder. Section 4888 of the Revised Statutes provides that the applicant for a patent "shall file in the patent office a written description of the s.ame, and of the manner and process of making, constructing, compounding, and using it, in such full, clear, and concise, and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it appertains,or with which it is most near· ly connected to make, construct, compound, and use the same; and in the case of a machine, he shall explain the principle thereof, and the best mode in which he has contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguish it from other inventions."
PACIFIC CABLE RY. CO. V. BUTTE CITY ST. RY. CO.
423
In sustaining a claim in a patent, the description should always be .consulted, and it shorild be construed in the light of the description. Walk. Pat. § 182; New American File Co. v. Nicholson File Co., 31 Fed. Rep. 289; Lull v. Clark, 13 Fed. Rep. 461. In the beginning of the description of Britton's device, in his patent, Britton, says:
"My invention relates to improvements in turntables, such as are used for transferring cars from one railway track to anQther, where an endless wire rope is used for propelling the cars along the track or tracks. The only instance, that I am aware of, where duplicate turntables have been used for this purpose, is in the Clay Street Hill Railway, in San Francisco, Cal."
Of these duplicate tables, again, he says:
"These are to be connected by gearing so that both platforms wlll be rotated simultaneously by power applied to rotate either one of them."
The manner in which they are to be used is thus describ <l.:
"When the car has been drawn upon the table, and the rope released from the griper, it is also evident that the table can be turned one-quarter of the way around without disturbing the rope, as the free space under the opposite ends of the sections will allow the table to turn that far without interfering with it. It is further evident that, when both tables are given a quarter turn the slots and tracks, which were before parallel, will be brought in line with each other, so that the car can pass from one table to the other without raising the griper from the tube, as its shank will move in the slots, thus avoiding the necessity of elevating the griping device during the transfer. The car can then be run upon the opposite track by turning the table up.on which it has been transferred until its track is in line with the main track."
It will be observed in all this that the only description in the patent given as to the way these tables were to be used was in connection with both tables or duplicate tables. Nowhere in the description is it pointed out how one of these tables could be used for the purpose of transferring a car from one track to another. In a letter written to Britton by H. H. Bates, an examiner of applications for patents in the United States patent office, dated July 17, 1886, and to whom Britton's application for a patent was referred, he says, "The function here being secured, not by one turntable, but by a specific combination of two turntables, which turn simultaneously." This letter is part of what is termed the "file wrapper," in evidence in this case. In turning to Britton's evidence, it will be found that two tables were used in the Clay Street Hill Railway, and to this he refers in his application as being the only place where his invention had been used. . In turning to the statute above quoted, it will be seen that the manner of using an invention must be given in the description in such full, clear, and concise and exact terms as to enable any person skilled in the art or science to which it appertains, or with which it is most nearly connected, to use the same. While the claim may be broad enough, there is no description of how one table is to be used, except in connection with the other. In the claims, after describing a table, it is said it is substantially as and for the purposes set forth. This must refer to the descripthere it is set forth that the table constructed and detion,

Savage, 30 ; ;Forthe reason that the patent contains no description of how one turntable is to be used by itself, for transferring a car from one track to the other, I find for the defendant; and it is hereby ordered that the bill be dismissed, as to it, and it have judgment for its costs herein expended.

SBIPPING-WHARFAGE-CHARTER PARTY-CONSTRUCTTON.
A stIpulation In a charter party that cargoes are "to be brought to and t,aken from alongside, at charterer's risk and expense, and, should there be any lighterage or Wharfage, this to be also for charterer's account," makes the charterer, or the consignee, (who stands in his place,) responsible for wharfage In unloading, as well as in loading.
SAME-ADMISSION OF MASTER-WHA'l' CONSTITUTES.
Where, under the proper construction of a charter party, the consignee is liable for wharfage, the fact that the master, Immediately after unloading, a:fII.xes hIs name to the wharfage bill, is not an admissIon of liability as between hImself and the consignee, when he denies liability at the time, and It appears that such signature is necessary to a settlement between the consignee and charterer, as a certification that the wharfage charge Is correct in amount. One Who pays money admitted to be due to the creditor's clerk, knowIng that the clerk is Without authority to accept the same as settlement in full, Is not thereby freed from liability for a further disputed amount.

In Admiralty. Libel by Nicholaus O. Johnson, master of the bark Barmnca, against the Baugh & Sons Comuany to recover freight. Decree for complainant. John Q. Lane, for libelant. J. Warren Coulston and Alfred Driver, for respondent.
BUTLER,District Judge. The respondent was consignee of a cargo carried by libelant to Philadelphia. The suit is for balance of freight-$125. The defense is payment. The freight, as per charter, was $2,418.56, of which $2,293.56 were paid-$125 being retained on account of wharfage, and $97.80. for services furnished the vessel. The latter snm is not in dispute. If the charter does not exempt libelant from charges for wharfage the retention on that account was proper. In my judgment it does exempt him. Its terms, in this respect,are: "The cargoes to be brought to and taken from alongside, at charterer's risk and expense, and, should there be any lighterage or wharfage this to be also for charterer's .account;" that is to say, the charterer will bring the merchandise to and take it from the vessel's side. The argument intended to show that this language applies only to laoding is far from satis-

Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to rise in the House to present several petitions today.
As the father of two adopted children who suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome, members will appreciate how I feel about the first petition. It calls upon Parliament, subsequent to a motion that was passed in the House on April 23, 2001, to enact legislation and regulatory changes that would prohibit the sale of alcoholic beverages in Canada unless the container in which the beverage is sold carries the following visible and clearly printed label: Warning: Drinking alcohol during pregnancy can cause birth defects.

This week the sightings on DFDS King Seaways started quite slowly. Despite lots of passengers taking part in all of our deck watches providing many more pairs of eyes we didn’t see anything on Tuesday (16th), and on Wednesday (17th) we only spotted one small cetacean as we left Ijmuiden, unfortunately it was such a fleeting glimpse and was so far away we were unable to identify it.
However, over the following days our luck started to change, as we sailed into Newcastle on Thursday morning Weng spotted a group of 4 white-beaked dolphins, and that evening as we sailed out of Newcastle we saw 2 harbour porpoises and another 2 white-beaked dolphins right next to the boat!! The next morning we managed to spot a spy-hopping grey seal.
white-beaked dolphin surfacing
On Friday evening as we were leaving Ijmuiden, the water was almost mirror flat, and even though the fog meant poor visibility, we managed to see 7 harbour porpoise and 1 grey seal during our deck watch. Just proving how calm the water was, during the rest of the evening we also spotted another 6 harbour porpoise and another grey seal from the window of the ORCA centre!!
Female grey seal
Unfortunately for the remainder of the week the sea was very rough so we didn’t have any other sightings of cetaceans but we did spot lots of seabirds including fulmars, guillemots, kittiwakes and lots of diving gannets as well as a little stowaway catching a ride across the choppy seas.
As some days we couldn’t do our deck watches because of the weather conditions it meant we spent a lot of time in the ORCA centre doing loads of activities, arts and crafts and presentations with passengers on board. This week, along with painting and poster making, our chalk board has been very popular with everyone drawing what they would most like to see in the North Sea.
And to end the week a few lucky passengers managed to succeed at our lemon challenge winning themselves a whale and dolphin poster.
Hopefully next week will bring calm seas and lots of sightings for us and everyone on board DFDS King Seaways.

There are different organizations of Journalists stationed at Bhubaneswar. But they all were united on Tuesday evening to pay epitaphic tributes to deeply mourned Gopal Misra, who passed away in the evening of Sunday and whose cremation, witnessed by many a luminaries of Orissa, was performed at Swargadwara, the classic gateway to the abode of the gods, on the beach of Mahodadhi, wrongfully known as Bay of Bengal, at Puri, on Monday.
The condolence meeting was held in the auditorium of the Department of Information with eminent journalist Barendrakrishna Dhal in the Chair. Under request of the scribes present, senior journalists Ramahari Mishra, Subhas Chandra Pattanayak, Rabi Das and Sarat Das were on the dais when Ramahari Mishra coordinated the event.
Ramesh Chandra Mohanty initiated the obituary when Barendrakrushna Dhal dwelt on how suave but strong was Mishra in his mission all through his life as a journalist. There was a time spanning at least two decades in the last century when he was regarded as the reigning luminary in Orissa media, but there was not a single moment, even then, when he had no time to come to the needs of the newcomers to the profession, he said.
Subhas Chandra Pattanayak focused on the professionalism he personified. Recalling his contributions to putting on records Chakradhar Mohapatra’s well researched determination of Orissa being the real birthplace of Buddha as well as Kavichandra Kalicharan Pattanayak’s meticulous endeavors to obtain recognition of Odissi as a classical dance, he said that Gopal Mishra was so sharp and quick in reporting critical issues by locating its crux as cautiously as consciously that for ever he would remain not only a poll star to follow but also a professional to imitate.
Rabi Das recalled Gopal Babu as a trendsetter in pro-people journalism even as to Sarat Das, were Mishra not there to organize his stay at Bhubaneswar in the initial days of his posting, he perhaps could not have ascended up to the bureau chief position of PTI in Orissa. This eagerness to help newcomer journalists in getting settled was a distinct part of Mishra’s way of life, he said.
Ramahari Mishra recalled his association with Gopal Babu prior to and after his joining Amrit Bazar Patrika. He cited instances to show how he was regarded as unquestionable as a journalist. He said that the sad demise would always give the journalists of Orissa a feeling of loss.
Prasanta Patnaik deeply mourned the sad demise. To him, Mishra was a man in whom journalism had blossomed into dignity. Commitment to profession and devotion to democracy had created the distinction that Mishra had personified, he said, while making specific suggestions on how the scribes of Orissa may make the bereavement bearable to the family of the late doyen.
Bimal Krushna Bhanj and Akshaya Pati described how the entire media community has been drowned in grief due to the sudden demise that has created a void hard to be filled up, when from his chair in the audience, Pradyumna Mohanty expressed deep dismay over failure of the ministers of the incumbent government in physically paying last respect
to the departed scribe who till breathing his last was active in the fourth estate of democracy.
(Gopal Mishra’s last contribution as a columnist, published in the daily Sambad at the end of the night he passed away, was speakingly critical of the style of administration of the Orissa Ministry that was, on the one hand, irresponsive to SOS cries of the farmers, but on the other hand, over eager to serve the multi-national corporations. This perhaps explains the absence of Orissa ministers from paying individual and / or collective respect to the departed scribe who by choice had preferred this profession to serve the people.)
The former and founder Mayor of Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation, Dr. Jagannath Mohapatra recalled the unique joie de vivre that Mishra personified despite his being in his entirety a dedicated sentinel of the State.
A close relation of Mishra, R.N.Dash, who happens to be the Secretary of the Information Department, recalled from his personal memories how affectionate was Gopal babu and how averse was he to falsehood and hypocrisy.
You were one of the greatest person for us in this world, thank you for all your guidance & support.

Hausu & Others
When asked what the scariest movie I’ve ever seen is, I usually say Audition. When asked about the weirdest, I usually say Hausu.
I first saw Hausu last year when I was looking for out-of-the-way stuff for the international horror film column that I was then writing for Innsmouth Free Press. I wasn’t really expecting to like it. I’d heard that it was a classic (I was watching it on a Criterion edition DVD, after all) and that it was the weirdest movie ever made. And generally, that’s the kind of bill of sale that leads inevitably to disappointment, not to mention that experimental film is only occasionally my thing. But I ended up blown away by it, and sort of loving it. A story of hauntings and possession and vampirism and witchcraft that’s also as bizarre as advertised, though carried through by a kind of demented childish logic (maybe because the script was supposedly co-authored by the director’s young daughter), it’s an experience in a way that movies seldom are, so when the opportunity came to see it again, on the big screen this time at the local Alamo Drafthouse, I jumped at the chance and dragged as many ill-prepared friends and acquaintances along as I could muster. Everyone survived, and I think I converted them all in Drafthouse fans.
Hausu isn’t the only oddity I recently caught that I’ve been meaning to talk about, though. Last week, I went over to a friend’s house on a suitably dark and stormy night and watched V/H/S on demand. While some of the creepiness may have been dulled by technical difficulties, it was a pretty great experience. The first and last segments of the film were excellent, and the framing story and all the others had strong points and weak ones. I was surprised that neither Ti West’s nor Glenn McQuaid’s segments were my favorites (they were the names that had me the most excited going in), but that just means I’ll have new names to watch for going forward.
I also caught Martyrs, at the recommendation of that same friend. It was much too High Tension/Last House on the Left-y in style for my tastes, but the way it changed directions drastically every twenty minutes or so was really refreshing, and I found the place the story ended up much more intriguing than I had expected going in.
In perhaps less artistry-centric news, I’ve also recently seen Final Destination 5 (the best one since 2, however faint that praise may be) and Red Riding Hood (better than I’d heard, mostly thanks to Gary Oldman’s character and some visual interest).
I meant to talk about most of these at greater length, but things got busy and it didn’t happen, but here they are, at least logged for posterity.

Redo Pakistan in Karachi
It seemed it was going to be an unforgettable day in the Karachi’s recent tormented past. It turned out to be true for all the wrong reasons.
Shanakht Festival, of which Redo Pakistan was a part, began with much hope & fanfare on 8th April 2009, with 1,500 school children visiting the exhibits in the morning alone. By sunset, more than a thousand Karachiites had visited the event, which they appreciated greatly & hoped to visit again with their friends & family soon.
No one could have predicted that this calm social gathering was in for a rude awakening to the dark side of Karachi. Several political activists of the dominant political party in Pakistan took offence to a work of art, exhibited, by another group, in the same gallery as Redo Pakistan, & threatened to beat the organizers up if they did not hand over the artist behind the “sacrilegious” piece. Those goons later went on to ransack the gallery & to damage other exhibits as well, scaring away the many Karachiites who saw their hopes for a peaceful & entertaining night out dashed.
The next day, we took toll of the damage, packed up our exhibit & headed home after the Sindh Government refused to provide security guarantees to the organizers of the Shanakht Festival.
There’s more to this tale. More which is yet to unfold, as we are set to Redo Pakistan in Lahore. We feel doing it independently would help us break through the clutter of perceptions & disinformation. We feel positive about this.

While staying in Tampa, we heard of Fort Desoto Park and decided to head down and take a look at the fort. The kids were excited I’m sure they were thinking a big sheet fort like they make in their room!
Please keep in mind while the fort is free you do have to pay $2 in tolls to get to the island and then another $5 to get into the park.
The drive out is just beautiful with all the water and scenery.
If you watch carefully, you can even see the Skyway Bridge. (not my favorite bridge!)
The first area of the park is the camping area. We decided to get some information for future visits.
Camping rates are pretty much the norm for the area for a state/county park.
We then went for a drive to check the grounds out. It’s very wooded and shaded.
There are waterfront back in RV sites and pull-through sites as well. We found our RV’s cousin!
The waterfront spots are very nice right on the water, level pad, grills, picnic table and water and electric. No sewer hook ups.

The facilities look new and very clean.
They have a playground in the camp area as well as an open field.
Then we headed further down the park and paid to enter. They have many things to do, but we headed to the fort.
The first part of the fort we saw is what looked like the jail area.
Then we went to see the cannons.
These cannons are from the Spanish-American War and weren’t used here at the fort.
These rooms are the Dynomo (yes that’s how the plaque on the wall spells it!) rooms, where all the stuff needed to fire the cannons, were held. They were right next to the interior cannons as well.
They had two sets of 2 interior cannons, but we were told at one point there used to be two sets of 4 cannons.
They were set up pretty advanced for their times; they were on a circle platform where you can turn them around 360 degrees plus then move them up and down as needed.
One of the rooms in the fort was set up with pictures and maps of how the fort used to look back in it’s ‘heyday’. Like this layout of the property.
Some of the civilians quarters that were at the fort.
The layout of the commanding officers house.
Then we climbed the stairs to the top of the fort.
From the top, you can see some of the green vents that would help vent the air in the rooms below.
The views are incredible, I can only imagine how great they would be on a clear day!
You can see some of the old ruins before the pier there.
We also got to watch a cargo ship leave.
Then we headed to a museum which is across the parking lot and also free. (after paying the tolls and park entrance)
On the walkway up to the museum, there are signs that talk about the different buildings that used to be on the property.
The museum used to be the Quartermasters Storehouse.
One of the pilots that dropped the Atomic Bomb on Hiroshima Japn Praticed here in B-17s with these sand bombs.
They had a lot of WWII items.
They had a whole area with pictures of the people who lived at the fort.
Here is a map of what the fort looked like with all the buildings still here.
Here you can see the Battery Bigelow at the waters edge there are the ruins you see from the top of the fort.
Life wasn’t always easy at the fort. Here the soldier is weighing his beef rations.
And they didn’t have a washer or dryer to do their clothes. Heck men had to do their own clothes!
I found this interesting that card is a military dance card that men would have to fill out to dance with a woman.
Somthing else I found interesting is this exploded cannonball from the Civil War Era!
As you can see, there is so much more to do at the park! The fort and museum are that the southern point there.

What carrot juice bottles. He gave me a couple, and I use them all the a track. I learned this lesson once on the Seven Hollows Trail at Petit Jean State Park. I figured we could do four miles in just over an hour since that was what it took on a track. Over two hours later as it was getting dark, my wife and I finished our exhausting hike. Even as an experienced hiker, I always allow about one hour for every two miles of hiking distance.
Pick up a Five-Star Trails guidebook that covers trails in your area. I collect guidebooks like my mother collected cookbooks. It’s fun to browse through to determine possible next hikers. If you’re traveling, Google the area to see what hiking trails are available. I came across a couple of hikers on the Lake Alma Trail who were from Nebraska. They’d checked the web and found our trail. They were delighted with the hike and looking forward to a meal in town before hitting the road refreshed and relaxed.une, July, and August are good months for early morning day hikes or some trips out west at higher elevations. Sometimes you’ll catch a cool snap in the Ozarks during the summer months, but that’s rare. one bear in Arkansas, and that was at a distance. I don’t carry a gun when hiking because it adds weight and addresses none of the real hazards of hiking.
Hazards to avoid through preparation (in no particular order): dehydration / heat exhaustion / hypothermia / ticks / mosquitoes
Deer season coincides with some of the best times of year to hike. I tie a hunter-orange bandana to my day pack year round and avoid impersonating a deer while in the woods. I’ve never had a problem.
One of my readers reminded me of the importance of telling a friend or family member your itinerary, even if it’s a short day hike. Do this whether hiking alone or in a group. I write my trail location and route on a note and leave it with my wife in hopes that she’ll want me to be found if I become lost. If my wife is with me on a hike, I’ll email my itinerary to a trusted hiking buddy.
Get linked up and get out!
You might want camera. In my area, the Fort Smith Trailblazers do a lot of great day hikes. The Ozark Highlands Trail Association and Ozark Society also do group day hikes and backpacking trips of varying difficulty. Hiking with others is a great way to accelerate your knowledge about hiking and hiking locations to explore.
Hiking has enriched my life, enhanced my health, and connected me with some great folks. It’s a great big beautiful world out there. Get out and enjoy!
Fantastic tips! Thank you for sharing! Appreciate your wisdom, and your photography!
You forgot this one: “Always let someone know where you are going. Sign in at the Trailhead, leave a note on the dashboard of your vehicle, tell a friend.”
Yep. Important to make sure someone knows your itinerary and sign in where possible. I don’t leave any notes on my my car because I don’t want just anyone knowing my plans:) I’ve started using an inReach and like it a lot for sharing my location with selected individuals.
Great advice!
Jim, can you put this on the LAT facebook page?
Will do. The Lake Alma Trail is a great trail for novice hikers, especially to the waterfall and back.
Pingback: Advice From Hiker-Dog’s Trail Partner | Waterside Kennels Mysteries
Novice here! And new blog follower! This has turned into a great summer so far. Camping, kayaking, etc… All new to me. Hiking is next. I have the Tim Ernst book and am very interested in Hikes that lead to rewarding waterfalls. The ones that sound like fun include a little bit of “bushwhacking”. I am a newby, but would love to try to find a hidden gem of a waterfall. Can you recommend a good machete? Length? Does it need a saw side? Curious! Thank you in advance!
Glad to hear from you and thanks for reading. I got started with (and still use) Tim Ernst’s books. They are excellent. I recommend you bushwhack without any blade. This is for your safety and to protect vegetation. I use a hiking stick to push briars aside when going through thick stuff, but have never felt the need for a machete or ax. Especially when hiking off trail, the goal is to avoid leaving any trace of having been there. A few scratches and scrapes are like mementos from the hike. I do carry a small handsaw but only use it to maintain existing trails by removing small limbs across the path. You’d enjoy doing a trail maintenance outing when the weather cools off. I learn a lot and get some inspiration from guys and ladies who have been maintaining and hiking for a while.
This sounds incredible! Just the response I needed! I have been discouraged with finding “kayaking” and “hiking” groups around NWA. My wife recently broke her arm at our Indian Rockhouse Trail hike. Freak accident, slipped on the rocks… braced her fall, pop. We did get some good news, no surgery. She is encouraging me to continue to hike and kayak (with friends). Some things aren’t safe to do alone, such as kayaking rivers. I am not having much luck finding organized groups that do things… I’d love to learn maintenance and participate any other way. I hope to read all or more of your blogs and post, over time… I too am just getting into Instagram and WordPress to document my stories.

Controls in PAKO 2 are simple: your vehicle always moves forward and depending on the area of the screen you click on, your car will turn left or right. If you click on both sides of the screen, you’ll brake. Also, on the lower part of the screen you’ll find the turbo button which recharges little by little.
To start off, you’ll only have two vehicles in your garage, a passenger car and a van, although you can unlock many more. Same thing happens with the settings. At the beginning you can only play in the city, but as you keep playing and earning money, you can unlock new settings.
PAKO 2 is a thrilling and super fun driving game that’s perfect if you’re looking for short rounds that last two or three minutes. The game also has an excellent soundtrack and visuals.
Requirements
Android 4.3 or greater is required

Borrowing much of it’s jungle sets from King Kong which was being filmed at the same time with leading lady Miss Wray, this wonderfully overdone bit of gothic camp wastes no time in establishing character and mood as it plunges its cast into a murky world of steamy swamps and moonlit cliffs. McCrae’s sense of moral outrage is the perfect compliment to Banks’ melodramatic madman and Wray gasps and screams in all the right places. Made before the Hays code was in full effect the directors treat us to a bit more skin than usual while a trophy room of mounted human heads is one of the more macabre sequences to come out of the 30’s. Clocking in at a mere sixty-three minutes this is one of the most perfectly realized films I’ve yet to see. Visually striking and creepy as hell!
A rather silly cliche-filled and cliche-driven action/suspense movie; like a campfire story for eight year olds.
If you ask me, I think that the decidedly deranged Count Zaroff seriously needed to chill, big-time, and, with that, find himself some cute, little boy-toy to play around with and just put all of the mad zest for the sport of the hunt right out of his head.
(I mean, c'mon, man! Give it a rest, already!)
Even though I'd say that this somewhat stilted moldie-oldie (from 1932) had plenty of potential, it, unfortunately, also left a whole lot to be desired.
Regardless of its surprisingly brief 63-minute running time, this Adventure/Thriller noticeably dragged its ass in a number of crucial scenes. And, with that, I'd say that a good 15 minutes edited from its story would have benefited the sluggish pace of the action, immensely.
This tall tale of "cat & mouse" also contained some really unconvincing violence that, often enough, had me hooting with laughter. Believe me, regardless of some expensive-looking sets, this 82-year-old early-talkie certainly hasn't aged very well, at all.
There is a great commentary track that accompanies the movie so plan to watch it once for the action and dialog and again for the film experts' observations. The movie is only about 62 minutes in length.
Quite entertaining even though it is very old.
I found myself cracking up through most of this unintentionally comical movie. I half expected Abbott & Costello or The Three Stooges to come running through. I do realize this is from 1932, pretty much the dawn of film making, though. Good one for those who can appreciate it for what it's worth.
There is a reason why classic films are classic. They paved the way for what we see on our screens today.
This classic hold true:
The bad guy is bad.
The good guy is good.
The Drunk guy is drunk and he gets to die.
The girl (Faye Raye before Kong) is hot!
I could go on ...
I give it all the stars!

Panagra's network stretched from Panama and the U.S.-controlled Panama, a passenger traveling from the U.S. to Buenos Aires would board a Pan Am Sikorsky S-42 flying boat at Miami and fly to Colon, Panama in the Canal Zone, stay overnight and then board a Panagra Douglas DC-2 or DC-3 and fly to Buenos Aires with overnight stops in Guayaquil, Arica and Santiago.[2] This routing was a full day faster than the Pan Am service operated via the coast of Brazil. The one-way fare from Miami to Buenos Aires was US $550 (equivalent to $10,245 in 2016).[3]
After World War II, airliners could operate at night over South America, and in 1947 Panagra Douglas DC-6s made scheduled flights from Miami to Buenos Aires in 20 hours and 25 minutes. Pan Am crewed the DC-6 south across the Caribbean to Albrook Field, near Balboa, Panama where Panagra flight crews took over. In 1949, Panagra flights serving Panama shifted to Tocumen Airport. In 1955, Panagra Douglas DC-6Bs and DC-7Bs began serving Washington DC and New York City with these flights being operated by National Airlines crews north of Miami. In 1957, the Panagra DC-7B service via Lima was several hours faster from New York Idlewild Airport (later renamed JFK Airport) to Buenos Aires than the Pan Am DC-7B service operated via Rio de Janeiro.
Panagra entered the jet age in 1960 when it introduced new Douglas DC-8-31 jetliners.[4]
According to the Panagra system timetable dated July 15, 1966, the airline was operating DC-8 "El Inter Americano" jet service between various destinations in Latin America and Los Angeles (LAX), Miami (MIA), New York City (JFK) and San Francisco (SFO).[5] Panagra was still cooperating with National Airlines and Pan American World Airways with regard to their service between the U.S. and Latin America at this time. This timetable listed former Panagra routes to South America until 1982 when Eastern Air Lines purchased Braniff's South American operations. Beginning in 1990, these routes were then operated by American Airlines which had acquired them from Eastern.
W. R. Grace and Company had a 50% share of Pan American-Grace Airways, with Pan Am owning the other 50%.

“Madonna is my ultimate icon and inspiration,” the celebrity blogger told Parade at his NYC party at 42West on Saturday. “You should be selfish on your birthday, and it’s so selfish for me to have an entire night where i just get to listen to her music nonstop and see what fabulous outfits my friends and party guests come up with!”
With so many Madonna-inspired looks to choose from, it was her 1990 ‘Blond Ambition’ world tour costume that inspired him most.
“I knew I wanted to do Blond Ambition because that was the pinnacle of Madonna mania. It’s a strong and sexy and kind of masculine too, unisex almost.”
As for his birthday wish, Perez says: “It would be nice to meet a great man. A really great one!”
In the meantime, Perez is enjoying fatherhood with his son, who recently turned one.
“Fatherhood changes every day as my son changes. It just gets better and better. He’s starting to show his personality. He’s very different from me in many ways, he’s a super calm baby. I was not a calm baby, and I’m not a calm adult! He also is so generous. I was not a good sharer and he loves to share. He just does it instinctually. When i give him his food, he loves to share with me.
Perez is coming up on another important date: the 10th anniversary of his blog, which began in September 2004.
“I still can’t believe it’s been 10 years since i’ve been blogging. In Internet speak, I’m a dinosaur, but I have evolved and grown and I’m still having fun, which is most important. I want to continue to work hard and play hard and do a good job.”
Perez made headlines a few years ago when he apologized for bullying celebrities and said he was making a change, even if it meant losing readers in the process.
“If I was less nasty or biting, would my traffic go down?” he asked in a YouTube video. “Well even if it does, I don’t care, because this is really important to me.”
“I’ve been doing my website for six years now, and in the past I would justify everything as comedy, and humor, and these are celebrities. But I don’t want to have to justify what I do anymore. I don’t want to continue things as they are. I need to change, and I’m going to start today,” he said.

Safari Theme Party to Take You on a Thrilling Adventurous Ride
Themed parties are very trendy. A safari theme will ensure that all your guests remember your party for a long time. This article lists some ideas for safari-themed invitations, décor, food, games, and favors.
PartyJoys Staff
Last Updated: Jul 22, 2017
If you are planning on throwing a party and want to give your guests a thrilling experience of the wild, a safari-themed party is what you need. Whether it's for kids or people of all ages, everyone will love the experience of being thrown into an imaginary world of forests, animals, birds, hunts, and adventures like an African safari.
Invitations
The invitations should give the invitees a hint of what to expect at the party and build up their excitement to attend it. If you are planning on getting ready-made invitations, you will find plenty of free printable templates on the Internet, which have pictures of animals, jeeps, and tourists on them. If you're planning on making the invitations yourself, use forest green colored paper. You can glue pictures of forests and animals on them. You could send them wrapped in an animal print cloth.
Decorations
The party decorations should be done very creatively so that the venue actually resembles an African jungle. To create such an atmosphere, you can consider putting up a tent in one corner of the room, placing a few plastic and rubber animals, reptiles, insects, and birds all around the venue, having some faux trees along the walls, placing a few animal print rugs and pillows on the furniture, and hanging artificial vines from the ceiling.
Food
When it comes to the food, have it served on animal print paper plates. You can include foods such as sandwiches cut in different shapes like fruits and leaves, fruit platters, fruit custard, chips, and animal crackers. As for beverages, you can keep natural fruit juices for both kids as well as adults.
Games and Activities
A treasure hunt is one of the most popular choices for games, in which both kids and adults can participate and enjoy. Do not forget to give the guests binoculars and torches. You can either plan the treasure hunt yourself with hints that border around animal names and other jungle things, or you can even get ready-made versions from the market. For the kids, you can arrange for a face painting station inside a tent or a canopy. Another activity that you can include is making crafts such as animal masks and bead bracelets. There are also craft kits available on the Internet with all the required things as well as stepwise instructions.
Favors
Animal soft toys, bracelets, and candles are apt choices for safari-themed party favors. Another unique idea is to plan an activity wherein all the invitees get a disposable camera to take photographs of their adventures at the party and then send these pictures to the guests as party favors.
A safari-themed party can be fun, adventurous, and thrilling when you plan it with lots of creativity. Unleash your wild imagination and you are sure to come up with some unique ways of organizing a safari party.

- Luke 24:49 (NKJV) Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.”
Bible scholars tell us there approximately 31000 promises in the Bible; however, there is only one which is called “the promise”.
The promise is the Holy Spirit—the ever-present, empowering and guiding presence of God!
Remember, to live a “Christian life” is to agree to a supernatural life. To think that you can do this without the presence of the Holy Spirit in your life is not like trying to be a fireman without a fire hose or being a doctor without a stethoscope. It would be tough, but a good fireman and a good doctor could still fight fire and disease without a fire hose and a stethoscope.
A better way to understand trying to live the Christian life without the presence of the Holy Spirit would be like trying to live without oxygen—impossible.
I’m afraid that far too many Christians think of living a Christian life in terms of it being tough sometimes but with a little help from my “friend” (the Holy Spirit) I can do it. No you can’t! You can claim all 30,999 of the other promises in the Bible, but if you fail to receive the Promise you are doomed in your efforts at living a true Christian life. (Hint: Don’t confuse practicing the Christian religion with living a vibrate and fulfilling Christian life.)
So here’s the one thing for today:. (John 7:37-39, NKJV)
Very well spoken. Thanks

million people , 20% of the population, died in the ensuing madness.
Proof – if it were needed – that not all social innovations are good ones.
Cambodia truly has been to hell and back. Today economic growth is robust, poverty is still high (but falling) and there is a burgeoning startup movement. Siem Reap has been named the top tourist destination in Asia and number 2 in the whole world.
Here’s my pictorial guide to 13 things I found creative, quirky or were simply great experiences.
Making Flights Less Boring: I’m always interested to see how airlines are making the experience of spending 15 hours in a cramped metal tube less traumatic. In flight wifi is gradually rolling out and although far from perfect enables you to squeeze out an occasional instagram shot. I loved the Qatar Airways boxsets collecting themed films. Marvel cinematic universe and free drinks – perfect!!
Tuk Tuk Customer Care: It’s hard to describe the traffic carnage of Phnom Penh. I asked a driver what the road rules were – he just shook his head sadly. But the proliferation of cheap transport encourages all sort of entrepreneurs determined to standout from the crowd. This driver pulled over and bought us a couple of face masks to protect us from the fumes. Another gave us a couple of bottles of water. It’s like Uber – just without someone in Silicon Valley taking all the cash.
Connected Travel: This driver has taken his Tuk Tuk to the ultimate bling level and installed free wifi. There are large parts of the UK with poor public transport and no connectivity – is it far fetched to imagine this as a solution? Note: I did see this Tuk Tuk but failed to get a picture. My instabuddy Miss Mel Travel kindly donated her pic – check out her instagram it’s awesome.
The Future of Alternative Protein: Insects should become a staple of people’s diets around the world as an environmentally friendly alternative to meat. That’s not me saying that – but the UK government’s waste agency. Cambodians are a step ahead in that they’ve overcome the yuck factor. Seriously, this is healthy stuff and tastes a lot better than McDonald’s. Insect banks rather than food banks anyone? (I did do a shaky vine of me eating a deep fried tarantula but I wasn’t a fan. That abdomen was a bit mushy and funky)
Weirdness: I asked a local guy the significance of this statue and he replied “everyone likes big dragon”. You can’t argue with that.
Wifi in the Sea: Our desire for connectivity knows no bounds. Hotels and bars are competing with each other to offer ever better wifi connections. This place on Otres Beach nailed it with connectivity that worked a good 100 metres into the ocean. My first experience of vining, instagramming and downloading music (the new Bowie album) from the water.
RIP Dave: 48 hours later and Blackstar sounded a very different record. I didn’t get into Bowie until my mid twenties largely due to my good friend Kirsty Nicholls. (I spent most of my teenage years listening to Prince and Public Enemy and generally wishing I was black.) To anyone working in innovation Bowie will always be an inspiration for his constant experimentation – and total fearlessness when it came to failure. I’m not sure what it would look like if he’d designed public services – but they sure as hell wouldn’t be so boring. Salute.
The Rise of the Selfie: So you get up at 4:30am to watch the sunrise over Angkor Wat. Problem is, so has every other tourist – all looking for the perfect photo. A load of semi-pro photographers stood around with the tripods getting annoyed whilst 14 year old girls with iphones and sticks got in their way. Photography just got democratised. Buyer’s tip: You need to rise above the crowds, size really does matter when it comes to a decent selfie stick…
Business Doing Good: I visited some amazing non-profits in Cambodia but one thing struck me – they didn’t look like non-profits. I’m generalising terribly here but a lot of the social sector in the UK has an image problem and I think many could look and learn from examples in the developing world. The wonderful Sandan Restaurant is part of an alliance of training restaurants working with youth in need. The students serve you aided by a teacher, giving them vital skills in the world of work. It’s busy – we had to wait for a table. But people aren’t there to be kind to kids – they are there for the awesome food.
Frugal Innovation: A wallet made from trash and old noodle packets. This is an initiative of M’Lop Tapang a local non profit who help street kids and parents who might be tempted to send them out begging. The profits go to supporting at risk families and keeping kids in school. Cambodia has a huge trash problem – so this helps in a small way to keep the streets cleaner too.
Keep It Simple Stupid: This was brilliant – a hotel that gives you an old Nokia with just three numbers in it. Dial 1 for reception. Dial 2 for your personal driver and if you ever get lost or are a bit drunk Dial 3 and we’ll come and bring you home. No other tech needed. I’ll be devoting a whole post to the radical retake of the traditional hotel concept from De Saraan Villa.
Street Level Entrepreneurs: Loved this pop up bar. Literally a bar grafted onto the side of a motorbike. The guy drives around to where the crowds are. It would never work in the UK, we’d think of 50 health and safety reasons to prevent him from kickstarting his business.
Mobile Child Care: OK.. so we do need some some rules…
A country bouncing back from the brink with fresh thinking , drive and determination. Loved my trip and hope some of the ideas inspire you as much as they did me.
RIP Bowie indeed. To consistently change and adapt is incredible. It’s easy to forget how different he was – I think this video by Paul Mason nails it (). Fascinating to see how social enterprises in pictures out there. Hope you’re suitably tanned post-Holiday!
Dyfrig
PS Nice reference to the Dead Kennedy’s in the title!
Glad you spotted! I was going to include their single cover but it was a bit grim..
It wouldn’t be the Dead Kennedy’s otherwise!
Certainly some things to be learned here. I really liked the hotel Nokia for some reason – I guess it just seems like nice Service Design. Thanks for sharing these Paul, it looks like an awesome holiday!
Thanks Simon – the hotel nokia was great, also they gave you 30 minutes free international calls. When has a hotel ever offered that??!! As you say – service design thinking of the user. See you soon

San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl Tickets On High Demand but Pose High Risk for Buyers
Fan Freedom Project Warns Consumers of Ticket Buying Pitfalls
SAN FRANCISCO—The San Francisco 49ers have gone to the Super Bowl five times– and they’ve never lost. This Sunday, the Bay Area hopefuls will play their hearts out for a chance at number six. Meanwhile, fans are on a hunt of their own, hoping to snag a Super Bowl ticket to watch them clinch that victory.
Tickets for the much anticipated match up went quickly and sky rocketed to double the face value soon after leaving the box office. While many die hard 49ers fans are willing to shell out the cash –that purchase could also be a major disappointment according to new tips from the Fan Freedom Project (FFP).
“As always, the Super Bowl excitement starts early and spreads an infectious spirit up to game time. While many fans are eager to share in this occasion with their favorite players, ticket buyers need to watch closely and make sure they know exactly what they are purchasing and from whom,” said FFP Consumer Advocate Elizabeth Owen.
Those that bleed red and gold have been reportedly paying an average $3,724 per seat for tickets to Sunday’s championship game in New Orleans, compared to Ravens fans’ average $3,607 per ticket, according to recent analysis.
“As fans we should have the right to be able to give away or resell our tickets if plans change at the last minute,” said Linda Sherry, Director of National Priorities at Consumer Action. “It is important to keep those fan friendly practices intact and advise buyers to use extra caution during times of high consumer risk like the Super Bowl.”
“The last thing we want to happen is someone buying a ticket to the big game only to find out they ended up with fake tickets or different tickets than were advertised,” said Owen.
The 49ers are now in Superdome territory but before fans attempt to make their Super Bowl XLVII trek to help consumers avoid purchasing fraudulent tickets or even genuine tickets that aren’t transferable, FFP advises consumers to:.

3. Pay attention to URLs: Check any website’s URL to ensure that you don’t get duped by an imposter. Remember, even if a website looks like the official site, it may be bogus...

Top Health Care Advocate Takes Lead Role Representing The Patient Community In California
SACRAMENTO, Calif./December 13, 2006 –).
This transition allows Ms. Helms and TOPS America to fulfill a request by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’ Office to catalyze the patient advocacy community and support health care reform. To that end, Ms. Helms is organizing a roundtable to coalesce expertise from various chronic disease and health care reform organizations.
“Liz’s transition to full-time nonprofit advocacy work is long overdue. She has been a driving force within our grassroots advocacy campaigns here at the firm and has trained our staff in the fine art of patient and health care advocacy,” said Kassy Perry, President and CEO of Perry Communications Group. “She leaves us well positioned to continue advocacy work for our clients, and we look forward to working closely with her in her new capacity.”
Ms. Helms founded the TMJ Society of California in 1994, and in 2004 the organization was renamed the TMJ and Orofacial Pain Society of America as it expanded from a statewide organization into a presence serving patients nationwide. She also holds an appointment with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a patient representative reviewing TMJ medical devices and as an advisor to the TMJ registry, a National Institutes of Health (NIH) funded project.
Perry Communications Group will continue to be the public relations firm on record for TOPS America, providing strategic counsel and public affairs support.
“My passion has always been to help those who suffer from TMJ and orofacial pain as well as to enhance the quality of health care for all Californians,” said Liz Helms, President and CEO of the TMJ and Orofacial Pain Society of America. “This is a great opportunity to work with health care advocacy organizations throughout California to ensure that patients have a strong voice in what Governor Schwarzenegger is promising to be ‘the year of health care’.”
About TMJ and Orofacial Pain Society of America
Founded in May of 1994, the TMJ and Orofacial Pain Society of America (a 501c3 organization) is the leading voice of advocacy nationwide for those who suffer from the many faces of “TMD” – temporomandibular (joint) disorders. The TMJ Society of America is dedicated to providing information on temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) to patients, professionals, and the public. The Society offers support to those who suffer from TMJ-related pain and dysfunction, and advocates for basic and applied scientific research that will reveal the causes and provide appropriate treatment of these complex problems. For more information, visit TOPS America at or call (916) 444-1985.

From arylamine N-acetyltransferase to folate-dependent acetyl CoA hydrolase: impact of folic acid on the activity of (HUMAN)NAT1 and its homologue (MOUSE)NAT2.
Laurieri N., Dairou J., Egleton JE., Stanley LA., Russell AJ., Dupret J-M., Sim E., Rodrigues-Lima F.
Acetyl Coenzyme A-dependent N-, O- and N,O-acetylation of aromatic amines and hydrazines by arylamine N-acetyltransferases is well characterised. Here, we describe experiments demonstrating that human arylamine N-acetyltransferase Type 1 and its murine homologue (Type 2) can also catalyse the direct hydrolysis of acetyl Coenzyme A in the presence of folate. This folate-dependent activity is exclusive to these two isoforms; no acetyl Coenzyme A hydrolysis was found when murine arylamine N-acetyltransferase Type 1 or recombinant bacterial arylamine N-acetyltransferases were incubated with folate. Proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy allowed chemical modifications occurring during the catalytic reaction to be analysed in real time, revealing that the disappearance of acetyl CH3 from acetyl Coenzyme A occurred concomitantly with the appearance of a CH3 peak corresponding to that of free acetate and suggesting that folate is not acetylated during the reaction. We propose that folate is a cofactor for this reaction and suggest it as an endogenous function of this widespread enzyme. Furthermore, in silico docking of folate within the active site of human arylamine N-acetyltransferase Type 1 suggests that folate may bind at the enzyme's active site, and facilitate acetyl Coenzyme A hydrolysis. The evidence presented in this paper adds to our growing understanding of the endogenous roles of human arylamine N-acetyltransferase Type 1 and its mouse homologue and expands the catalytic repertoire of these enzymes, demonstrating that they are by no means just xenobiotic metabolising enzymes but probably also play an important role in cellular metabolism. These data, together with the characterisation of a naphthoquinone inhibitor of folate-dependent acetyl Coenzyme A hydrolysis by human arylamine N-acetyltransferase Type 1/murine arylamine N-acetyltransferase Type 2, open up a range of future avenues of exploration, both for elucidating the developmental role of these enzymes and for improving chemotherapeutic approaches to pathological conditions including estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer.

Tony F. Heinz
Profile
- Probing electronic charge transport in photoexcited materials, including polaronic charge transport and the nature of charge transport in nanoscale materials such as quantum dots. This work relies on THz time-domain spectroscopy
- Examining the nature of energy transfer between atoms and molecules on surfaces by means of femtosecond laser excitation
- Investigation of surface processes, such as charging and adsorption, in a variety of environments by nonlinear laser spectroscopy; investigation of the nonlinear optical properties of nanostructures
- STM studies of electronic properties of surfaces and adsorbate-covered surfaces
Education:
B.S., Stanford University, 1978
Ph.D., UC Berkeley, 1982
Our research interest lie in understanding the dynamics of condensed matter systems, particularly in lower dimensional or nanoscale materials. Since the natural time scale for fundamental dynamical processes, whether it be the motion of electrons or of the nuclei, lies in the femtosecond time scale, one of the principal experimental tools that we employ in our investigations is the femtosecond modelocked laser. This tool provides us both with a means of achieving extremely high time resolution (~ 10^-13 s) and also permits us to achieve high optical intensities, thus allow us to exploit the nonlinear optical response of materials in these investigations.
A second important experimental tool in our program is the scanning tunneling microscope (STM). This instrument allows one direct access to the atomic scale structure of materials. Although not an inherently fast probe, it reveals important aspects of dynamics through the capability it offers to probe the initial and final states of materials with atomic precision. As we have also demonstrated in recent work, one may combine STM techniques with laser-based methods to achieve examine processes occurring on a very short time scale.
With these in-house capabilities we are presently examining problems that include the following:

2018 Best Brand Nest 1-Light Outdoor Flush Mount byEurofase
How To Pick The Right Nest 1-Light Outdoor Flush Mount For Your Home
Choosing the right household furniture is definitely an mind-boggling affair, particularly if you don't know exactly what youre looking for. The choices are simply limitless, and going right into a shop naive indicates with respect to the judgment of the salesperson. Most often, that technique leads to bringing home a desk that's a total misfit. There was a time when picking up a brand new home furniture was a really quite simple event. You proceeded to go ahead and introduced home a table depending on the dimension of your home furnishings and your own budget constraints. Choosing matching chairs was not even a problem, as most of these furniture came with a before-current set of chairs.
What's Your Style Nest 1-Light Outdoor Flush Mount ?
Crafting that amazing household furniture is about obtaining the theme and also the design correct. With regards to home furnitures within an open up floor plan, it is advisable to opt for one which seems like a natural expansion of the rest of the living area. Some might want to add chic distinction using a traditional desk in a contemporary space or even a minimalist metal table inside a space dominated by warm wood shades. This looks amazing too and can produce an instant focal point when combined with the correct lights. Should you own a little studio apartment, cup and acrylic tables appear perfect, while those who take part in the perfect web host on weekends might want enhanced comfort of an stretching desk.
Conclusion Nest 1-Light Outdoor Flush Mount
household furniture is practical, fun, and enjoyable for everybody to use. But there are considerations whenever a buyer is seeking household furniture. Room is the greatest consideration, because the buyer doesn't want to overcrowd the house region making it uncomfortable or fill it with useless furniture. Purchasers that have family and friends over often for yard get togethers may want to look into buying a larger household furniture established along with a table with chairs. Buyers that hang out poolside may consider patio chairs to become a bigger priority.
It really depends on the individual needs, tastes and budget from the purchaser. household furniture is different a great deal in the past many years, when purchasers used to have to throw out their house furnishings in favor of new furnishings each and every summer time. Nowadays, household furniture is made for durability, any type of climate, and long-term use, so purchasers may want to consider that factor when choosing home furniture.

A number of our articles tend to have references to Theosophical and esoteric teachings of writers such as HP Blavatsky, Annie Besant, CW Leadbeater, and Alice A Bailey. You may have noticed this in some of our past articles which have discussed concepts such as Thought Forms, the Seven Rays, Can Pranic Healing be Dangerous, Reincarnation and some others. The reader may occasionally wonder as to what is Theosophy and why we sometimes refer to the concepts while discussing the teachings of Master Choa Kok Sui.
Through the years Master Choa himself had laid an emphasis on deeper study of esoteric concepts. Master himself was an avid reader and had studied a large number of spiritual and religious books from all around the world . MCKS had advised studies to read books to deepen their understanding of spiritual topics and had also recommended a large number of looks – including Theosophy, Astara, and the Arcane School amongst others.
So is Theosophy a new age teaching? And how is it connected to the teachings of MCKS? This article attempts to examine questions such as these in more detail.
The Theosophical Movement
Theosophical Movement as such is a a broad term indicating organizations and philosophies of the modern era influenced by the teachings of Helena Petrovna Blavatsky (HPB) and her original Theosophical Society, founded in 1875. Theosophy in itself derives from the Greek terms θεός (theos) which roughly translated means “god” or “divine”, and σοφία (sophia), wisdom. Theosophy has been variously translated as divine wisdom or wisdom in things divine. HPB herself stated that “theosophia properly means not a knowledge of “God” but of gods, i.e., divine, that is superhuman knowledge”.
After the passing of HPB, there have been several “offshoots” of what remains of her original Theosophy Society which include the Lucius Trust (formed by Alice A Bailey), the Agni Yoga teachings (by Nicholas and Helena Roerich), teachings by Manley P Hall, Franz Bardon, and others.
According to the theosophical view, every world religion is based on, and comes from, one and the same ancient truths and principles. Theosophy is thus meant to be a universal teaching which talks about a body of truths which forms the basis of all religions. However, as the pure and original teachings of religions became corrupted and obscured by superstition and ignorance, this universal body of knowledge became distorted. The Theosophical Movement in itself was a response to to investigate and discover the eternal truths enshrined in different traditions, religions, and philosophies and offer them to the public in a purified form. Theosophists were heavily involved in the introduction of Eastern philosophical concepts (like reincarnation, karma, yoga) into the West.
As such Theosophy is not a religion. Theosophists are perfectly free to belong to any religion but they also know that it is not actually essential or necessary for them to belong to, or identify themselves with, any particular religion. The motto of the Theosophical Movement is “There is no religion higher than Truth.” Furthermore, Theosophy is not tied to a specific religion or philosophy and as such does not promote any particular system or limit itself to definite set of concepts.
The first-generation Theosophical writings consist of The Mahatma Letters to AP Sinnett and the books of HPB (notably Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine); while the second-generation of Theosophical writings comprise of the works of Annie Besant, CW Leadbeater, C Jinarajadasa, Geoffery Hodson and several others. Theosophy as a body of knowledge is one which is intended to be dynamic and evolutionary.
Is Theosophy New Age Wisdom?
Having looked at the history of the Theosophical Movement, it might be worth examining the nature of theosophy. Is Theosophy “new age wisdom” or something fundamentally different?
Theosophy attempts to distill and explain the essence of inner teachings which are fundamental and universal across a large number of religions and philosophies. According to Master KH (who has a mentor to HPB and was closely associated with the Theosophical Movement said “Theosophy is no new candidate for the world’s attention, but only the restatement of principles which have been recognized from the very infancy of mankind.” (A previous article titled What Theosophy Teaches we have discussed some of the fundamental ideas that were presented by multiple writers. You may feel free to look that up.)
In this article let us look Let’s look at two examples from Theosophical teachings to show their similarity with ancient esoteric philosophy. For this we choose two Theosophical Classics.
At The Feet Of the Master
At The Feet Of The Master (1910) by Alcyone has been long acclaimed as a Theosophical classic. This book contains primary instructions given by the Guru to the disciple (Alcyone) as he was to set his feet on the spiritual path. Closer study of the text shows that there is a strong resemblance to the teachings provided in this book with teachings contained in the Vedic scriptures. Let’s examine this closely.
For one, the Upanishads a part of the Vedas, are ancient Sanskrit texts that contain some of the central philosophical concepts and ideas of Hinduism. Some of these concepts are shared with Buddhism and Jainism. The Upanishads are commonly referred to as Vedanta. The term Vedanta has been interpreted as the “last chapters, parts of the Veda” and alternatively as “object, the highest purpose of the Veda”. The Sanskrit term Upanishad it itself comes in from the words “upa” (which means by) and ni-sad (or to sit down). The word Upanishad in itself translates to “sitting down near” or the student sitting down near the feet teacher while receiving spiritual knowledge (do note that in all Eastern traditions the student always sits at a level which is lower than that of the teacher i.e. the crown chakra of the student is always below that of the teacher).
Secondly, Alcyone received some specific instructions from his Guru. There were four qualifications for walking on the spiritual path, namely:
- Discrimination
- Desirelessness
- Good Conduct (six points)
- Love
Alcyone says that “I know that some of these are translated differently, as are the names of the Qualifications, but in all cases I am using the names which the Master himself employed while explaining them to me.”
Now let’s look at the teachings of Adi Shankrachaya (788-820) for walking on the spiritual path:
- Viveka (or discernment or discrimination between the real and unreal and the true and untrue)
- Vairagya (or dispassion towards sense objects)
- Shad-sampat (the six virtues or treasures)
- Mumukshutva (or the longing for spiritual liberation)
Notice that the first three directly map to the instructions provided to Alcyone by his teacher. Interesting the last qualification is also connected. Spiritual yearning or spiritual thirst comes via the crown chakra. For the crown chakra to be activated the heart chakra must be activated first i.e. there needs to be love. This is the same principle which is used in the procedure for the Meditation on Twin Hearts where the heart chakra is activated before the crown chakra.
Notice that there is a strong similarity between Theosophy and other ancient traditions (in this case the Hindu tradition). Let’s look at another example.
Three Fundamental Propositions
Adi Shankarachaya summarized the entire vedanta philosophy in three sentences, specifically:
- Brahman (the Supreme God) alone is real (Sat)
- The world (Jagat) is unreal (Mithya)
- Ultimately there is no difference between Brahman and the Soul (Jiva)
One of the most important books in the Theosophical literature is The Secret Doctrine by HPB. The foundation for understanding the work lies in an understanding of the three fundamental propositions laid out in the Proem (or the preface to the book). The three fundamental propositions enumerated by HPB, are as follows:
- An Omnipresent, Eternal, Boundless, and Immutable PRINCIPLE upon.
- The fundamental identity of all Souls with the Universal Over-Soul
Do notice that the three fundamental propositions are the same as the essence of the vedanta as provided by Adi Shankarachayra?
In Conclusion: Theosophy is not a New Age teaching
If you study theosophy closer, you would notice the deep roots of Theosophy as they are present in the ancient teachings of the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Sutras Patanjali Yoga, the Bible, the Torah, the Kabbalah, and many other ancient religious scriptures. Ergo, theosophy is not new age wisdom or new age teachings. Theosophy fundamentally represents the essence of ancient esoteric traditions.
This is one of the reasons we sometimes reference Theosophical literature in our articles.
If you want to get a broad sense of what Theosophy teaches, you could refer to an older article titled What Theosophy Teaches: Understanding the Essence.
Why study Theosophy?
Master Choa himself had studied thousands of spiritual and religious books from all around the world. As a young man, Master Choa Kok Sui studied a wide range of healing arts (notably at a time when they were not yet validated as sciences), achieving a kind of encyclopedic level of knowledge on the subject matter. He also studied yoga, psychic phenomenon, mysticism, Chinese chi kung, Rosicrucian Teachings of the Ancient Mystical Order of Rosae Crucis (AMORC), Theosophy, Astara lessons, Arcane School teachings, and other esoteric sciences.
MCKS actually encouraged his students to study and read extensively. As MCKS has said in his books, studying books helps us understand deeper spiritual truths and our inner personal experience. Also by reading we can stay abreast and aware of some of the latest scientific discoveries and developments across the world deepening our knowledge.
Specifically MCKS said that “Spiritual Books are good food for the soul. When you read a good book, the Shakti goes to you”. Deep study of spiritual books helps us develop a sharper mind and spiritually progress.
But MCKS also advised that not all books are great – and hence it is advisable to selective in what we read and not Not all of them will be able to impart knowledge and help us grow. Master advised students to “Be selective. Do not waste your time reading doubtful books. Most books are not fantastic. Garbage in, garbage out.”
Also different books may contain different information which may seem to contradict each other… and can be sometimes rather confusing for the reader. Hence, MCKS provided a list of recommended readings (which can be accessed in the appendix of his book the Ancient Art and Science of Pranic Healing and the Arhatic Yoga Preparatory Level notes.
While it is good to read spiritual books written by other authors, do note that there are a few key points that one should keep in mind:
- Theosophical teachings, while deep and insightful, are not divine revelations (for the lack of a better term). Hence one should not “blindly swallow” the teachings.
- Any book, in general, is not 100% accurate. Hence MCKS emphasized that students exercise intelligent evaluation and discernment.
- The instructions of MCKS were to study esoteric books. MCKS never gave instructions to practice spiritual techniques (if any) contained in the books. In general, it is not considered safe to mix techniques across different spiritual schools.

Novo Nordisk Inc. (NVO), 800 Scudders Mill Road, Princeton 08540. 609-987-5800. Jerzy Gruhn, president.
Reuters has reported that the Danish pharma giant is eliminating 100 back-office jobs at its U.S. headquarters on Scudders Mill Road, part of a workforce reduction that will eliminate 250 jobs at the company overall.
A week earlier, the company announced it would cut 400 R&D employees in Denmark and China. Novo Nordisk had 42,682 workers according to its 2017 annual report.
“[Novo Nordisk] is ensuring the company is positioned to achieve long-term, sustainable growth in the face of pricing and competitive pressures in the U.S. Equally important is our need to invest in our current and future portfolio that will continue bringing innovation to patients,” the company said in a statement to reporters.
In another statement, the company said the most recent round of layoffs is “taking place in order to put resources in the rollout of Ozempic (semaglutide injection) in the U.S. and later oral semaglutide.”
“We regret that valued employees who have made significant contributions will be leaving the organization,” Novo Nordisk stated. “Support and resources will be made available throughout this process and those affected will be given an opportunity to apply for open positions prior to leaving the organization.”

’ personal information and encouraging the industry to “look to this agreement as guidance.”
The initial focus of the FCC’s investigation was a 168-day breach at AT&T’s call center in Mexico that began in November 2013. Three employees at the Mexico call center accessed 68,701 customer accounts without authorization, obtaining customer information such as names and partial social security numbers that they then sold to third party buyers. The third party buyers, who appear to have been trafficking stolen cell phones, submitted 290,803 handset unlock requests through AT&T’s online customer unlock request portal. In accessing the customer names and social security information, the rogue employees also accessed customer proprietary network information, or CPNI, which appeared on the same account pages.
During the investigation into the breach at the Mexico call center, AT&T informed the FCC that it had discovered additional breaches at call centers in Colombia and the Philippines. AT&T reported that 40 employees in Colombia and the Philippines had accessed customer names, telephone numbers, and social security numbers, accessing approximately 211,000 customer accounts.
The FCC alleged that AT&T had violated Section 222 of the Communications Act, which requires telecommunications carriers to take every reasonable precaution to protect customer data, including CPNI, as well as Section 201(b) of the Act, which prohibits unjust and unreasonable practices. Rules promulgated under Section 222 require carriers to take reasonable measures to discover, report and protect against attempts to access CPNI, including notifying law enforcement “as soon as practicable, in no event later than seven (7) business days, after reasonable determination of the breach.”
AT&T notified the U.S. Secret Service and the FBI of the Mexico call center breach on May 20, 2014, over a month after it began its internal investigation. Throughout 2014, AT&T took a series of steps to mitigate the breach, including notifying customers whose information had been accessed at the Mexico call center, notifying the California Attorney General under California state law, terminating its relationship with the Mexico call center, investigating its call centers in Colombia and the Philippines, implementing measures to mask full social security numbers in its call center systems, developing new monitoring procedures to identify suspicious account access, and changing its unlock policy so that customers were no longer required to provide personal information in order to receive an unlock code.
AT&T’s settlement agreement with the FCC requires it to implement permanent policies that reach far beyond these initial steps. In addition to the $25 million fine, AT&T must institute a strict compliance plan that includes the following measures:
- designation of a senior compliance manager who is a certified privacy professional;
- completion of a privacy risk assessment reasonably designed to identify internal risks of unauthorized access, use, or disclosure of personal information and CPNI;
- implementation of an information security program reasonably designed to protect CPNI and personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure;
- preparation of an appropriate compliance manual to be distributed to all covered employees and vendors; and
- regular training of employees on privacy policies and applicable privacy legal authorities.
AT&T is required to report any noncompliance to the FCC and must file regular compliance reports for the next three years.
In addition, AT&T agreed to certain terms specific to the violations in Colombia and the Philippines, including providing all affected customers with written notice of the breach, offering one year of complimentary credit monitoring services, and establishing a toll-free number for questions regarding the breach.
While this is the largest action the FCC has taken to date, it is consistent with a trend of active enforcement over the past year. In October 2014, the FCC fined TerraCom, Inc. and YourTel America, Inc. $10 million for allegedly placing the personal data of up to 300,000 consumers at risk by storing social security numbers, names, addresses, driver’s licenses, and other personal information on unprotected Internet servers that “anyone in the world” could access. In the last year the FCC has taken five major enforcement actions related to privacy and data security valued at over $50 million.
The FCC has warned that it intends to intensify scrutiny of privacy and data security practices under Sections 222 and 201. It attributes its “heightened interest” in pursuing data security regulation, which traditionally fell under the purview of the Federal Trade Commission, to the increased prevalence of mobile devices. Telecommunications carriers, broadband providers, and other companies with a stake in mobile data security should view the compliance requirements in the AT&T settlement as a set of best practices for protecting consumers’ personal information.

Abstract
An unconformable sedimentary succession deposited between c. 2130–1848 Ma on Archaean gneisses of the foreland of the Palaeoproterozoic Ketilidian orogen includes a layer with coarse sand-sized silicate spherules. The layer is c. 1 m thick and consists mainly of coarse diagenetic dolomite. In addition to c. 18% spherules, the layer also contains 3% well-sorted, very fine quartzose sand and 6% larger intraclasts of chert and carbonate. The spherules were previously interpreted as microfossils (Vallenia sp.) because of their spheroidal shapes and inclusions of carbonaceous matter. The spherules are reinterpreted as replaced impact ejecta because they have shapes typical of splash-form microtektites, some contain possible examples of replaced skeletal spinel crystals, perlitic cracks and devitrification spherulites, and non-spherical particles with shapes and textures of typical glassy and scoriaceous volcanic ash are absent. The carbonaceous matter is attributed to hydrocarbons that migrated into the spherule layer from elsewhere in the sedimentary succession. The spherules were reworked after deposition, probably as a result of turbidity currents or storm- or impact-induced waves. Analysis of one spherule-bearing sample revealed only 0.02 ppb iridium, a value comparable with low iridium abundances in distal layers of other terrestrial impact ejecta. The spherules in South Greenland are the first distal impact ejecta recognized in mid-Precambrian strata. They represent a major impact because their aggregate thickness exceeds the thickest spherule accumulations reported from the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary layer. Given their loosely constrained age and the implied scale of the impact, the Ketilidian spherules could be distal ejecta from either the Vredefort, South Africa, (c. 2025 Ma) or Sudbury, Canada, (c. 1850 Ma) impacts.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the risk of major congenital anomaly associated with first-trimester exposure to insulin analogues compared with human insulin in offspring of women with pregestational diabetes. DESIGN AND SETTING: A population-based cohort of women with pregestational diabetes (n=1661) who delivered between 1996 and 2012 was established retrospectively from seven European regions covered bythe European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT) congenital anomaly registries. PRIMARY OUTCOME MEASURES: The risk of non-chromosomal major congenital anomaly in live births, fetal deaths and terminations for a fetal anomaly exposed to insulin analogues in the first trimester of pregnancy was compared with the risk in those exposed to human insulin only. RESULTS: During the first trimester, 870 fetuses (52.4%) were exposed to human insulin only, 397 fetuses (23.9%) to insulin analogues only and 394 fetuses (23.7%) to both human insulin and insulin analogues. The risk of major congenital anomaly in fetuses exposed to insulin analogues only was lower than those exposed to human insulin only; the relative risk adjusted for glycaemic control and region was 0.56 (95% CI 0.29 to 1.06). The significantly lower risk related to exposure of insulin analogues only was observed in congenital heart defects: adjusted relative risk 0.14 (95% CI 0.03 to 0.62). CONCLUSIONS: In this retrospective population-based cohort study across Europe, first-trimester exposure to insulin analogues did not increase the risk of major congenital anomaly compared with exposure to human insulin. A possible lower risk of congenital heart defects among fetuses exposed to insulin analogues only deserves further investigation.

I see “whatsonstage” have reported he is in “final talks” so not confirmed yet. I am looking forward to seeing him in this role in such a prestigious theatre.
Yesssssss !!!
Why would you want to wash the taste of Hobbits out of your psyche? This presumes that RA shares the tastes of a few of his fans, and has been lying every time he talks about his long history with Tolkien.
You’re taking this way too seriously, Cill. :D
Winona still looks good. Played Spock’s mom in one of the recent Star Trek movies.
It is true, you have referenced DDL so many times. The thought that there will be something this good and we won’t see it is driving me mad. I guess he can keep his current hair for this. What a turnaround in just a few months. I’m thinking of your recent post, the name of which escapes me.
@Frenz: I’m known for my crankiness/cantakerousness/curmudgeonliness (now *there’s* a word to look up in the OED) ;-)
Reblogged this on Armitage Agonistes and commented:
Frenz comments on the good news and gives us a link to the trailer. I can see it – I can see it in my mind’s eye. Comments there, please.
@kack: How could I have forgotten Winona as Amanda Grayson? I have to go turn in my ST:OS uniform right now.
@Cill I’m pretty sure it’s curmudgeonocity
LOL!! Print that one!
Now I really have to go out the door to this awful thing and advice duly noted. Got my phone with audio books on it! :D
Oxford dictionaries say ‘curmudgeonliness’
but this isn’t the real OED so the jury is out.
I can’t find ‘curmudgeonocity’ at all, but it does sound like a good location for my hometown.
Any chance BBC America might record a performance for broadcast later?? It would be worth agitating for :)
SH I know the National Theatre live feed into Cinemas all over the world, they did this with War Horse and more recently King Lear with Simon Russell Beale in the lead role. I wonder if the Old Vic do the same? Kevin Spacey as you know is the director so might be worth asking him.
Maisie – that is a great thought! When this is 100% confirmed, maybe some of us stateside can put out feelers on that.

I was hanging out with a few of the staffers from the Helsinki City Museum the other day, and I asked them about their favorite places in Helsinki. First Tove Vesterbacka said anywhere along the harbor; to her Helsinki means water. She also mentioned Linnanmäki, the amusement park—it sits on a rocky cliff and the ferris wheel stands out in the skyline from many places in the city. Then Sari Saresto talked about her route home from work by bicycle, from city centre to east Helsinki. The landscape changes so much along the way, from the classical architecture of Senate Square, to the industrial buildings along Sörnäinen, to the island of Kulosaari, and then on to residential east Helsinki. Ulla Teräs said the wooden buildings in Vallila, near her home. And Jari Harju said in summer the Esplanade but in winter, anywhere inside with a good view of snow, trees, or frozen harbor. Which prompted everyone to agree that one’s choice of favorites changes with the seasons. Later I asked the same question of HCM director Tiina Merisalo. Like Sari, she described her commute over the Kulosaari bridge—this time by train and not bicycle—and how much it revealed about the development of the city. She also talked about east Helsinki, where she has raised her family—the neighborhood, the bike paths, and the old manor house. To her this is the Helsinki of real life, the part the tourists will never see. (more…)

Open Air Exhibitions
Posted in City History, City History Exhibitions, tagged Berlin, Boston, Helsinki on June 21, 2010| 1 Comment »
I’ve seen two interesting open air history exhibitions this spring, a permanent (or at least semi-permanent) one in Alexanderplatz, Berlin about the fall of the Berlin Wall:
And a temporary (one month) one in the Kamppi plaza in Helsinki about Warsaw Pact countries and their efforts to shed Communism during the Soviet Union’s final years:
I watched a steady stream of people checking out both of these exhibitions. With the Kamppi exhibition, I think one of the reasons people stopped to investigate was that it presented an unexpected change to a public space that was otherwise very familiar. In other words, if you walk through Kamppi plaza every day on your commute and suddenly the landscape changes, you want to know why. I’m interested in the idea of inserting some public history into public spaces for just a month or two so that it becomes an event, as opposed to those permanent historic markers on buildings that start to blend into the background and almost become invisible over time. There’s also the concept of it being right in the middle of your path, instead of having to make an active choice to walk into a museum to see an exhibition. I’m wondering if this would be a good thing to try in Boston, perhaps at Quincy Market, or along the Esplanade?
Lenin Slept Here
Posted in City Identity, tagged Helsinki on June 16, 2010| Leave a Comment »
While waiting for a bus the other day in Helsinki’s Hakaniemi Square, I snapped this photo of a plaque on an apartment building. In English the plaque reads “V. I. Lenin lived here 1917.” There are similar plaques on a few other buildings in Helsinki, and there’s a Lenin Park. There’s also a restaurant I’ve eaten at a few times, Juttutupa, that boasts in its menu of serving Lenin. Such tributes are not as ubiquitous as the “George Washington Slept Here” markers up and down the east coast of the United States; and they have attracted their share of controversy. But nonetheless Lenin does have a presence in Helsinki, particularly in Kallio, a neighborhood with a strong working-class identity.

Mapping Locals and Tourists
Posted in City Identity, Locals, New Technology, Tourists, tagged Boston, Helsinki on June 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »
I just heard about the work of Eric Fischer, a programmer in the San Francisco area who has created a series of maps of major cities showing where people take photographs. Because the public photo-sharing websites Flickr and Picasa enable geo-tagging of the images people upload, Fischer was able to create maps that show the hot-spots—the places that are photographed by many people every day. This is interesting for my research because it could help city museums visualize the urban spaces that are most important to the public—the places that possess a high amount of social capital, the ones we want to remember.
As if that weren’t enough, Fischer took it one step further and used the timestamps on photos to divide them into those taken by tourists and those taken by locals. (more…)

The photo above is for all my collections manager friends who like to check out other people’s work. In March I was lucky enough to get a tour of Helsinki City Museum’s main collections storage facilities from curator Elina Kallio. I couldn’t resist snapping a photo of their old cataloging system. Don’t you just love the hand-drawn pictures? They have card after card like this. Here are some more on the outside of storage boxes:

Lastly, I want to end with a daughter and bleeding woman in v18-26. Jairus is a ruler. He’s powerful, he has influence, but there is nothing he can do to save his daughter. This is the most impossible situation in this chapter because by the time Jairus reaches Jesus, his daughter is dead. Not sick, not on the verge of dying, but dead.
But he has faith. v18–
18 While he was saying this, a ruler came and knelt before him and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her, and she will live.”
She’s dead, but one touch from you and she WILL live. That’s faith. Faith that believes in an impossible situation. Faith is believing that Jesus can bring dead things to life. Jesus touches the daughter and she comes back to life.
Similar account in the following verses. A woman had been bleeding for many years. She’s an outcast. She’s a nobody. Not like Jairus and his important daughter. There’s bigger show in town. Who is this bleeding woman? Her name is not even listed. There is a crowd of people bumping up against Jesus, touching him, if you will. But out of that crowd, this bleeding woman fought her way through the crowd to touch the edge of his cloak. And that touch had meaning. It was a meaningful touch that led to her healing.
21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
That’s faith. Jesus looks at this nobody and gives her dignity again. v22–
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.
Jesus calls this bleeding woman, “daughter.” Jairus is not the only important daughter in this chapter. This nameless nobody in the eyes of the world has equal value in the eyes of Jesus.
Jesus encountered many different people and situations in this chapter. The paralytic and his friends. The demon-possessed man who couldn’t talk. Matthew, who was minding his own business at his tax collector’s booth. You have the innocent question from John’s disciples about fasting. You have two blind men who cry out for mercy. You have the harvest fields that are plentiful and the shortage of workers. You have Jairus’ daughter who just died. And a bleeding woman who reached out her hand from the crowd.
What’s the common denominator in all of these accounts? Jesus. Faith IN Jesus. He’s the common denominator. Faith is looking to Jesus as the answer for everything. He’s the solution to every problem. I don’t have the answers. But I know a person who does. Isn’t that what church is? A group of sinners with our hands outstretched, straining to touch Jesus. He is our hope. He is the answer.

In-Depth
For partners serious about protecting their IT investments, software asset management can be a smart move indeed.
But SAM -- essentially, accounting for every piece of software
your organization owns or uses -- can be well worth the effort,
ultimately saving you a bundle of money. SAM specialist Cynthia
Farren, founder and CEO of the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based consulting
firm that bears her name, recalls one 2,700-desktop client company
that saved more than $1 million over three years after implementing
SAM. On average, Farren says, a 700-employee company can expect
a SAM initiative to help it save about $200,000 annually, largely
by giving its software buyers the knowledge they need to negotiate
better deals.
What exactly is SAM? Farren describes it as a holistic approach
to managing software throughout its lifecycle: "It's how a
company plans for, acquires, deploys and retires its software."
Microsoft, which launched a major SAM initiative last fall, says
it's simply a process that "helps you recognize what you've
got, where it's running and any licensing overlap."
Licensing, of course, is SAM's core, its raison d'etre. An effective
SAM process can help companies identify which licenses are active
and up-to-date, which have expired or are near to doing so, which
should be revised or upgraded and which should be cancelled or replaced.
An effective SAM program can also uncover unlicensed software that,
by accident or by design, has wound up in your company's systems.
Finding and dealing with such software can help prevent another
massive expense: the fines and legal fees that can result from charges
of "software piracy." Just how big a bullet might you
dodge? Take a look at these two real-life case studies:
In fact, the BSA can levy penalties as high as $150,000 for each
unlicensed software program its audits find, whether or not the
companies were aware that such programs were in use. Those fines,
of course, don't include companies' often-considerable legal expenses
or the cost of obtaining legitimate software. (Most major software
vendors, including Microsoft, are members of the Alexandria, Va.-based
BSA, which estimates the industry's annual losses to pirated software
at about $7 billion worldwide. Meanwhile, a study released by Framingham,
Mass.-based IDC in December 2005 estimated that every 1 percent
drop in software piracy would create $40 billion in new economic
benefits worldwide.)
"Many companies are getting much more formal
about processes on which they may have put a lower
priority in the past." -- Robert Deshaies,
Regional Vice President for Microsoft's Small and
Midmarket Solutions & Partner (SMS&P) Group
None of which is small change. So, not surprisingly, the industry
is now taking SAM seriously from all sides. The International Standards
Organization (ISO) expects to publish its first global standards
for SAM processes later this spring (see "Setting the Standard"
below). Meanwhile, in November 2005, Microsoft began offering a
SAM specialization as part of its Licensing Solutions Competency.
By early February, 43 partners had qualified for the specialization,
with nearly 75 more in the pipeline, according to a Microsoft spokesperson.
In addition, the company maintains a well-stocked SAM resource center
(for more on the new competency offering, see "More Information"
below).
SAM: Why Now?
At the same time, "software asset management is far from a
new doctrine," says Farren, a long-time SAM consultant who
was among the first to earn Microsoft's new SAM specialist designation.
Most companies have known for years -- although often just vaguely
-- that they need to keep tabs on their software, which according
to the BSA, can account for up to 25 percent of their total IT budgets.
"We all know something should be there, we all want to do a
good job at it, but [until recently], the issue was whether or not
we dedicate the time to it," Farren says.
So what's prompted the recent burst of interest in the concept?
Later this year, software asset management
will officially morph from a fuzzy catch-all phrase
to a clearly defined practice built on a set of
formal standards that are recognized worldwide.
The International Standards Organization (ISO),
based in Geneva, Switzerland, will soon publish
the business half of its new two-part global SAM
standard. Officially known as ISO/IEC 19770-1,
the standard's first part sets forth processes
and procedures for SAM planning, inventory control
and software lifecycle management, among other
issues. That part is scheduled to take effect
in May 2006.
The proposed technical half, ISO/IEC 19770-2,
remains in development and won't be final for
at least two years, says David Dery, a Ph.D. candidate
at the Ecole de Technoligie Superieure (ETS),
an engineering school at the University of Quebec
and the Canadian representative to ISO's SAM working
group.
The two halves will ultimately create consistent
definitions of approaches to SAM, which Dery says
will benefit manufacturers and customers alike.
"The ISO standard will give us a common point
of reference," he says. "Otherwise,
we all think our reality is the only one."
That group will accept comments on the proposed
technical standard until March 31. For details

The SAM standardization effort, which began in
Sweden in 2001, is being promoted by several industry
groups. Among them: The fledgling International
Business Software Managers Association (IBSMA),
of which Microsoft is a founding member. -- A.S.
In a word: compliance. Companies of all types and sizes must now
comply with requirements in a dizzying array of regulations enacted
following a wave of corporate scandals a few years back. Large public
companies in particular need to know whether their software provides
the sufficient internal controls over corporate accounting that's
now required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. "Many companies
are getting much more formal about processes on which they may have
put a lower priority in the past," says Robert Deshaies, a
regional vice president for Microsoft's Small and Midmarket Solutions
& Partner (SMS&P) Group and an executive sponsor of Microsoft's
SAM outreach. In the course of updating those processes, companies
may well find some surprises. They may uncover software that's too
outdated to meet the company's current needs, software that's not
being used to its full potential and even software that was purchased
and never deployed, still sealed in its shrinkwrapped boxes on a
dusty shelf someplace.
That's all on top of software companies launching their own compliance
efforts -- that is, making sure their corporate customers are complying
with their licensing agreements. Obviously, in all those cases,
a company's knowledge -- about exactly what software it's using,
where it originated and whether it's licensed -- can be a powerful
advantage.
At the same time, Microsoft's own research indicates that few companies
currently have comprehensive SAM processes in place. That's usually
not because those companies are defiant software pirates, waving
the Jolly Roger to taunt the vendor community, nor are they deliberately
thumbing their noses at government regulators. As Farren puts it:
"Most companies want to be compliant. Very few purposefully
avoid it."
Instead, it often reflects a lack of understanding about software
as an asset, says attorney Jenny Blank, the BSA's director of enforcement.
"It's intangible, so they don't respond to it in the same way,"
says Blank, describing how companies often view their software investments
compared to other purchases. "If they have three new employees,
they'll buy three new desks -- but they'll just buy one copy of
a software program and share it. When they do that, they're opening
themselves to risk."
Here are some tips for tackling
software asset management in your own organization:
Misconception #1: SAM is a synonym for "taking inventory."
Not so, experts say. "You need to go way beyond a basic inventory
process," says Microsoft's Deshaies. "You need an overall
SAM strategy." Consultant Farren agrees. "One of the first
things I hear from new clients is, ‘I already have software asset
management because I bought [an inventory] tool," she says.
"Inventorying is a necessary part of it, but it is not managing
your software." Besides, she says, companies with such tools
often fail to make good use of resulting information -- for instance,
failing to check the inventory reports against their purchasing
records. Bottom line: You should create an overarching strategy
of which an active inventory process is an important part of your
SAM process -- but just one part.
Misconception #2: Purchasing departments essentially handle SAM
process by tracking corporate software purchases. Again, that's
often not the case. In many companies, software buying is handled
separately from all other corporate purchasing. "Usually, there
are gaps in the process that leave company open to having something
come in the door and not being deployed," Farren says. Often,
she says, "there's no visibility from purchasing to receiving"
because the company doesn't receive the incoming software shipment
into its primary purchasing system. Purchasing agents can't track
-- and probably don't even know about -- orders for which there
are no records. In another common scenario, incoming software goes
directly into a mailbox or onto a cart headed for the IT department
-- and then vanishes without ever being formally received. In some
cases, it may be installed without being recorded; in some, it's
misplaced and never used; in some, it's simply stolen for home use
or resale. Your best bet: As part of your overall SAM strategy,
establish a foolproof way to capture and track all software invest-ments
from initial purchase to final disposal. If possible, try to integrate
that information with your company's main purchasing system.
Misconception #3: SAM is another business trend that's pure theory.
Wrong again. There are plenty of practical, hands-on ways to start
a SAM practice in your organization -- and most are easy to boot
(see "SAM 101" above for more advice).
Microsoft recommends starting with this four-step game plan:
No question about it: Developing, launching and maintaining an
effective SAM program takes a lot of effort. But for most companies,
the payoffs from doing the job right justify moving SAM from that
"if-we-had-time" file to one labeled "we must make
time."

Changes in Root Exudates and Root Proteins in Groundnut–Pseudomonas sp. Interaction Contribute to Root Colonization by Bacteria and Defense Response of the Host
- 3 Downloads
Abstract
Selection and application of rhizobacteria, for improved plant health will benefit from a complete understanding of the plant–bacteria interaction. Root exudates (REs) are known to contain signal molecules that facilitate beneficial association of plants with microbes. We have selected a tentatively identified Pseudomonas sp. (RP2), from 126 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)-associated bacterial isolates that significantly promoted growth of groundnut and also induced resistance against the stem rot pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii. REs were collected from 12 to 24 days grown RP2-bacterized and non-bacterized plants and analyzed through gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometer. Several organic acids, fatty acids, sugars, hydrocarbons, and alcohols were detected. In the untargeted multivariate analysis of the REs, relative content of eight compounds varied significantly on RP2 bacterization. Among these eight compounds, myristic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid, positively influenced the root colonization by RP2. Benzoic acid and salicylic acid, increased in RP2-bacterized REs, showed the highest growth inhibition of S. rolfsii. In root proteomics, 11 differentially expressed proteins were identified by 2D-gel electrophoresis followed by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight. Chitinase, thaumatin-like protein, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione S-transferase, known to have a role in plant defense against phytopathogens, were upregulated in RP2 interaction. Similarly, upregulation of enolase in roots is likely to improve plant growth in RP2-bacterized groundnut. We conclude that colonization of groundnut roots by RP2 resulted in exudation of metabolites that facilitated root colonization, suppressed fungal growth, promoted plant growth, and also increased the expression of defense-related proteins in the roots.
