Compost is such a unique product and it provides many benefits to the soil, to plants, the environment and to the 'pocketbook' of the end user. In the next two articles, we are going to discuss the use of compost in soil and water conservation, and protection (e.g., storm water management, erosion control and engineered soils), but before that, let's discuss the product itself and its usage in general landscape applications. Commercially produced bulk compost is readily available in most parts of Eastern Pennsylvania and Delaware and should be considered in every project where either topsoil or soil amendments will be used. Let's look at some basic information about compost.
What is Compost?
Compost is the product resulting from the controlled biological decomposition of organic material. This organic matter is broken down and sanitized through the generation of heat resulting from the intense activity of billions of microbes growing and reproducing. Good quality compost is stabilized to the point where it is beneficial to plant growth and bears little physical resemblance to the organic residuals from which it came. These organic residuals may include yard trimmings and food by-products, as well as agricultural by-products such as manure and mushroom soil. Compost is used primarily for its soil conditioning properties, but can also provide significant levels of slowly releasing plant nutrients.
How is Compost Produced?
All compost, is produced through the activity of aerobic (oxygen requiring) microorganisms. These "bugs" need oxygen, moisture and food in order to grow and multiply. Their activity generates heat, water vapor and carbon dioxide as they transform raw organic residuals into a stable soil conditioner. The natural decomposition process is greatly accelerated when these resources are maintained at optimal levels by controlling the feed stock "recipe" and properly managing the daily activities of the composting process.
Compost Benefits
The use of compost, as previously mentioned, can provide many benefits. It improves the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil and media to which it is blended. Some of these benefits are listed in the table below:
Benefits of Compost Use
- Improves the soil structure, porosity, and bulk density – creating a better plant root environment
- Increases moisture infiltration and permeability of heavy soils – improving drainage and reducing erosion and runoff
- Improves the moisture holding capacity of light soils – reducing water loss and nutrient leaching and helping to conserve water
- Improves and stabilizes soil pH – creating a better environment for overall plant health
- Improves cation exchange capacity (CEC) of soils – improving their ability to retain nutrients for plant use
- Supplies a variety of macro and micro nutrients – reducing initial fertilizer needs in some applications
- Supplies significant quantities of stabilized organic matter – the essence of 'healthy soil'
- Supplies beneficial microorganisms to the soil – improving nutrient uptake and suppressing certain soil-borne diseases
- Binds and degrades specific pollutants – a new?, pollution reducing benefit
General Landscaping Applications
Compost is very versatile, and as such, can be used for a variety of applications, including:
General soil amending for planting bed, garden or turf establishment
- Till existing soil to a depth of 6"-8".
- Add 2" of compost and mix well with the site soil.
- Plant or seed and water well.
Planting individual trees, shrubs or plants
- Prepare your planting hole. Make sure that the hole's diameter is approximately 3 times the diameter of the root ball.
- Mix 1 part compost with 2 or 3 parts soil removed from the planting hole.
- Place plant in hole, backfill with blended soil, and water well.
- Apply a 2" to 3" layer of coarse compost as a surface mulch around trees, shrubs and flower gardens.
Outdoor potting media
- Prepare a high organic, nutrient rich outdoor plant potting soil by mixing 1 part compost (by volume), 1 part pine bark fines, and 1 part sand.
- Plant and water well the first several times you add water.
Always refer to instructional information provided by your specific compost manufacturer, specifically for their product, and always understand the quality of the soil and compost you are working with. For compost, the easiest way to do this is by specifying and using only US Composting Council Seal of Testing Assurance program certified compost. These compost products are tested regularly, using specialize laboratories, and they analyze for a variety of parameters; including pH, electrical conductivity, stability, maturity and much more. For additional information on the STA Program, or to find a list of participants, go to www.compostingcouncil.org (click on "programs', then 'sta'.)

Civil Service in Russian
The civil servant
- is the citizen of the Russian Federation consisting at the state position, executing the rights and the duties established by the legislation on public service, and receiving a reward at the expense of the federal budget or budget funds of the territorial subject of the Russian Federation.
Civil servants in their very primitive form appeared in the territory Russia in the 9-10th centuries. In 988, the Grand Duke Vladimir entered Christianity of Russia. Attempt to create a comprehensive system of laws it was made the princess Olga (the 10th century).
Peter I was the largest reformer and the founder of new approach to regulation of work of civil servants in Russia. So, legal fixing of officials as groups of the population with a special legal status, it was issued at Peter I in the first quarter of the XVIII century.
Legislatively public civil service in Russia is regulated by the Constitution of the Russian Federation and federal laws:
- "About system of public service" (of 27.05.2003 № 58-FZ) — determines the basic concepts and the principles of civil service and enters its division into three look: public civil service, law-enforcement service, military service;
- "About the public civil service of the Russian Federation" (of July 27, 2004 No. 79-FZ) — in details regulates questions of the public civil service, including a ban and restrictions, and also an employment order. The questions connected with implementation of activity by civil servants, not captured by this law, are regulated by the all-Russian labor legislation.
In government bodies of a position have the exact structure determined by the legislation (federal and regional), divided into categories and groups
positions of public service are subdivided on:
– positions of federal public civil service;
– positions of the public civil service of the territorial subject of the Russian Federation;
– military positions;
– positions of law-enforcement service
Now 4 main are defined categories of positions, each of which is divided into 3-4 groups.
— positions of heads and deputy heads of government bodies and their structural divisions, territorial bodies of federal executive authorities and their structural divisions, representations of government bodies and their structural divisions;
- the highest group
- main group
- leading group
assistants (advisers)
— the positions established for assistance to heads of government bodies, territorial bodies of federal executive authorities and representations of government bodies;
- the highest group
- main group
- leading group
— the main category of the positions established for professional ensuring performance by government bodies of established tasks and functions;
- the highest group
- main group
- leading group
- senior group
providing experts
— the positions established for organizational, information, documentary, financial and economic, economic and other support of activity of -government bodies;
-main group

Gaming Blend "Another community video has been released for the upcoming high-end racing simulator from Slightly Mad Studios. The video is a real-time capture of the game running on max settings on Nurburgring in a BMW M3 while the real-time day-cycle takes place, going from mid-day to dusk. Impressive is a word that doesn't do the video justice."
Looks good but I do think this game is going to be a flop on consoles as we will have Drive Club and Forza 5 by the time this game comes out on current gen consoles.
No doubt it looks good, but it looked so slow and the car seemed to look the width of the track, I think it will play very simalar to grand prix legends on PC from years ago which will not be a bad thing but not too everyone`s taste.

Why Procurement Needs Representation in the Boardroomby Hawtrey Dene
For many businesses the focus of activity has been on indirect spend areas: manufacture, selling, design to name a few. In essence the majority of businesses are inherently predisposed to concentrating on output rather than spend. Obviously in this is important, since these areas determine the success of a business model, but that doesn't mean […]Read more

A tribute to and a lament for Marshall McLuhan. Five days a week, Tuesday through Saturday, I present one of McLuhan's observations and talk about its relevance today. 300 ideas. 300 days. 300 posts.
Isn't that amazing!
Marshall McLuhan (August, 1973, age 62). My contribution is an h!
Just got off the phone with Cousin Ron – Dr. Ron Hall, now – who you will remember is a biochemist at McMaster. Idea Consultants is back in action. These long hot sweaty dog days of summer have been a positive inspiration to us both. Ron has done the leg work. They say genius is 99 per cent perspiration. So perspiration is a good thing. The problem is it stinks. Ron came up with the science part of the solution. Don't mask the smell with perfume or deodorant. Keep the good part of the sweat -those amazingly communicative pheromones. Get rid of the stinky part. Ron wanted to call his bio-chemical product "protex." As in "pro-tection" and "tex-tile" – protect the fabric. But I added, if I must say – and I will – what Corinne told me was "the distilled essence of genius." I convinced him to add one little letter to the name which will spell all the difference in the world: the letter "h." We will call it "Prohtex." Get it? "Proh-ibit" and "tex-tile" – as in prohibit [the bad sweat on] the fabric. Well perhaps not everyone will get it. But when they do we'll be rolling in it. Or rather they will. Must run I feel another idea coming on. This could be the big one.
Me (January 2010, age 57):  Maybe it wasn't such a great idea
I don't know exactly what happened when Marshall McLuhan and his nephew pitched one of the big companies like Johnson & Johnson. But I'm sure the brand guys dined out regularly on the story. It is a wonder that the writers on "Madmen" don't go more to the life of McLuhan for inspiration. As you might expect nobody in the business world wanted to buy this idea. Perhaps business people today might be more interested, providing that is that the product does not prove to have unwanted and fundamentally deal-breaking side-effects, for example the attractions of the sexual attention of people you don't want to be sexually attentive. (Tomorrow I'll take a look at more of McLuhan's amazing business ideas that business kept on turning down.)
Was the name the problem? Or was it the product? Say that it worked, would you use a product that kept the good sweat –sent the chemical messages of attraction – and got rid of the bad – the stinky part?
Cordially, Marshall and Me

This month I was sent a box of Brooklyn Beans Roastery milk chocolate hot chocolate to review.
Sean was over the moon when I told him, that kid loves hot chocolate. To be honest, I thought hot chocolate was hot chocolate. But this…wow. It's rich and creamy without being too rich. It's got a good, smooth flavor that tastes like you mixed melted chocolate and cream. There's no bitterness, no chemical taste like you get with some sweeteners, just a good, honest pure chocolate flavor. It's a perfect base for you if you choose to do flavored hot chocolate with flavored syrups or creamers. I tried it with a French vanilla creamer and it was to die for. It's definitely opened my eyes to the differences in hot chocolate. I've been looking at all the different flavors & I'm having a hard time deciding which one to try next! And I can NOT get over the pricing. It tastes like it should be waaaaay more expensive than it is. Think the huge name chocolatiers. That's how good this is. Now imagine that flavor, with a super affordable price tag. You can't beat it!! You can pick up your own box here.
AAAAAAND don't forget to swing back by here in a few days…I'm going to be giving away a box of these yummy hot chocolates to one lucky person!!!
*Disclaimer: I received this product free or discounted for my honest review. All experiences and opinions are my own.*

SEO or Search Engine Optimization has become an integral part of web design, marketing planning and business analytics.Its importance is widely known and shared all across the internet. Let's see what makes SEO so important and why should you get the new TEA Software, especially if you are having or starting up an e-commerce business and try avoiding click fraud.
For those who are not entirely clear about what the importance of Search Engine Optimization is let's enlist some of the key points below:
To reach all this, you need an extremely dedicated expert team to work on your SEO. But once you are there, it will feel like hitting the lottery.
If you want the most precise report on what you have and what you need to change with respect to your current web content or advertising methods analytics is the tool you can turn to. If you want to have the most precise business forecasting on what to expect it's analytics you can turn to.
Google has its own analytics system (Google Analytics) which is widely used by both SEO experts and website owners, because it's simple and clear. But the bad thing about it, is that it specifically targets the businesses which deal with pay per click ads via AdWords.
You must be aware how well your pages do and how much exposure your products are getting either organically, by paid ads or both. Analytics helps you find tons of issues, which were not taken into consideration before and which may be the cause of poor quality traffic and low engagement rates. Also, it helps you instantly see the result of any change you make on your websites, you can also see how well or badly your landing page does and also monitor the effect of changing it (for the better or for the worse). Analytics can help you to be able to precisely say, when is the highest probability of quality traffic arriving to your website, this way you can easily target audiences according to their geo locations, cultural interests and can work on specialized ads and discounts or newsletters (alongside other marketing campaigns).
But the most important part of analytics is finding all the errors, reasons which may limit your pages perform the way they should. That's the reason why you should always have someone pay attention and learn from all the analytic reports which show you what's happening on each one of your web pages and on a domain level. Thanks to analytics, you can also find the errors on your pages.
Heatmap means that today's analytic tools would not only see you browsing on a website. They can see what you do, where you click, which areas do you hover your mouse over and also most importantly, which areas you totally leave out. This way, they can tell what's important, what's not and what should be updated, if it doesn't seemingly bring people to be interested. This means, if there are no clicks on "subscribe", "details", "product description" or "sign up to get a copy/gift/discount" call-to-action messages, there has to be a good reason behind the lack of interest that must be fixed immediately. Today, every larger and up-to-date company works with analysts who can pull heatmaps and can analyze per page behavior. TEA software does exactly that, but on a higher level.
If you want to get on the first page search results but do not have the time or simply face too high a competition to wait for this to happen organically, you have the chance to be on the first page- if you pay a certain amount of money for it. The good thing about the system is, that money is only deducted if people click on your website. The more people click on your website the higher your pay per click bid would go ( you pay more money per click). Several companies turn to this way of advertising and that is exactly why the illegal manipulation of these paid ads, called click fraud is still widely used by competitors, no matter what industry we talk about. Thanks to it's revolutionary system now TEA Software is the closest to protect your website from Click fraud.
What is Click fraud and how TEA utilizes click fraud protection?
Your keyword based ads would appear when people reach for the keywords chosen by you. The more specific you are, the more likely it is, that you can actually get visitors who become your buyers. However as it's true in every industry, competition is everywhere. Competitors often try to find as many keywords as possible which their competitors ( and often they themselves are using) and if their rival's link pop up in the search results in form of pay per click, they get either bots or personnel to click on your pay per click ad with high frequency. Unrecognized Google click fraud will result in the following:
There are lots of companies who frequently use this method to annihilate their competitors and so far it was close to impossible to detect this and find the click fraud source. Now, luckily TEA's click fraud Software is here to help you. Let's see how.
Engagement fraud is a lesser known and covered activity, first of all because it's done by Google itself. The core of this is in bid adjustments. If you work with AdWords you need to always pay attention to the amount of your bids and adjust them as and when it's necessary. Otherwise you rely on automated adjustment that can cost you plenty of money. When you rely on automated adjustment by Google, you ought to know that the adjustments sometimes happen way later than they should happen. The adjustment can have up to a 18 hours of a delay. As many things can happen in such a long time, this delay can cost you plenty of money. Now, with TEA Software your bids are always being monitored and the software itself is programmed to do real-time bid adjustments whenever it finds it necessary. This way engagement fraud is eliminated by TEA.
Apart from bid adjustment TEA software can have full control on your AdWords, so that you don't need to spend a fair amount of time learning how it works and how to work it to produce the best results. This way, TEA software will do the following for you:
Because it's working on detecting your page and website visitors' every movement on your webpages. With this, it will work out behavioral patterns per page. This will help you a big deal to see what works and what doesn't work on your webpage and see what the primary per-page interest points are.
TEA software is collaborating with high quality software developers and that's why it's an integral part of Shopping Cart Elite's SEO and analytics package that's also part of their complete shopping cart software package.

How To Make Your New iOS 7 Home Screen Less Ugly
Don't give up yet! There may be a quick fix.
iOS 7 is here and, while a whole lot of people seem to really enjoy it, there's a whole bunch who think it's pretty ugly
But there may be a relatively easy fix!
Part of iOS 7's flattened set up, means that layers are more important than ever. And many of Apple's stock wallpapers feel pretty outdated.
I mean, just LOOK at this...
Many of Apple's wallpapers don't sit right with the semi-translucent layers that make up prominent elements of iOS 7, like folders and the control center.
Choose the wrong background and your lock screen could look like THIS
Apple's dynamic backgrounds aren't too bad though
There's also plenty of websites like Blrrr, where you can download iOS 7-specific backgrounds
Everyone's different, but to take full advantage of iOS 7's newest frosted layering, it often works to choose a background with multiple blended colors
Like this
Simple, colorful images work well too. I've been using this one for a few months.
Whatever you do, be sure to play around a bit. iOS 7 may still not be for you, but it may be worth a second look.

Adrain Ireland > >Loudoun Co VA
Thought I'd stir the pot on Hugh Adrain and Elizabeth Engard.I propose that Hugh and Mary Adrain wife of George Harrington of Belfast and after his death wife of Henry Cowden are brother and sister (not proven at this time).I propose this because they live in close proximity in the Belmont area of Loudoun County.If this is true then according to published death records on Mary (Adrain) Cowden her parents are listed as James E. and E. Adrain. She died 9/5/1864 in Loudoun County at the age of 64.I would then propose the following genealogy.Your thoughts, additions or corrections please:

3. ii. HUGH ADRAIN, b. August 12, 1804, , , Ireland; d. January 19, 1852, , Loudoun, Virginia.
Generation No. 2
2.MARY ADRAIN (JAMES E.) was born Bet. 1798 - 1800, and died September 05, 1864 in Pleasant Valley, Loudoun, Virginia.She married (1) GEORGE HERRINGTON.He was born in , , Ireland.She married (2) HENRY COWDEN.He was born Abt. 1800, and died Aft. June 1880.

My name is Rupam and I am kinda 'digital nomad' who has now spent years trying to figure out a smart response to "What do you do?".
Well, it did not start this way. There was a time long long ago when I used to be a teenager and like all other teenagers, I had completely figured out life. I knew EVERYTHING :-). It has been a steady downhill since then.
Work allowed us to live in many exotic places…the kind you read about in airline magazines. For a long time, I skilfully pretended that I was enjoying what I was doing. I was pretty good at it…not sure about the work, but definitely the pretending bit :-). I even got people to believe in me and somehow ended up climbing the corporate ladder quite fast. However, almost everything was screwed up in a big way. For an extended period of time, the definition of 'doing well' was:
Accumulating air-miles and barely spending any meaningful time with my young family
Earning more money than one can keep one's sensible eyes on….and in the process letting my 'inner idiot' make absolutely ridiculous investment decisions
Spending much much more than rationally justified…on utterly useless things…..and acquiring 'LOTS OF STUFF' in the process
Drinking alcohol almost every day…..you know, those nice wine labels which the 'inner idiot' could afford
Getting a sum total of ZERO exercise
Eating rubbish while traveling and even otherwise
Giving responses like "oh, budget is not a constraint" when asked by the travel agent planning our New Zealand holiday
Thinking that my private bankers were my best friends
Accepting my iPhone (previously blackberry) as my all-powerful master….being controlled by it's 'notifications', every waking moment of my day
…….And aspiring to do even more of each of the above.
I was a hopeless 'prisoner without parole' of my fucked up lifestyle……my life was a 'museum of instant gratification'…..in short, I was a FUCKING IDIOT!
This obviously needed to change…and I realized it will require a helluva lot of disciplined work and sacrifice over an extended period of time. Madhvee (my better half) helped me in this life-transforming realization. We decided to take back control of our lives and our freedom. MWS was born to help us in our journey….to chronicle our valuable learnings along the way.
Last few years have been the best part of our lives. We eventually understood that building long-term wealth is not achieved by the above….and money is not the only ingredient of true wealth. In fact, the absolute quantum of money (the number of zeros in one's account statement) is actually a less important aspect of true wealth. How we think about health…..how we spend our time….how we choose people we hang out/associate with…how we think of investments (income vs capital)….what we spend our money on (experiences vs things)…..how we constantly educate and improve ourselves….how we give back….the value system we bring up our children with….how we treat our environment….all of these work hand in hand in creating real lasting wealth. The kind of wealth that lasts and grows across generations.
This is our 'Why'.
This is why MoneyWiseSmart.com exists. We sincerely believe we can help many others, who are in similar situations as we have been. We plan to bring interesting content covering all the above and promise to add value to other people's lives through the pages of this site.
I can be reached on firstname.lastname@example.com for any comment, feedback, criticism or just a hello. We would love to hear from you. I promise to respond to every single message.
…..To Freedom!

Recently, the House of Representatives passed the ADA Education and Reform Act of 2017 (H.R. 620), which despite its name, does severe harm to disabled persons. The bill creates additional and unnecessary roadblocks for the disabled community to file civil actions for violations of the ADA regarding places of public accommodation. Under current law an aggrieved individual who can't access a business can file a complaint with United States Department of Justice, bring litigation or talk with the business owner. It should be noted under federal law that people who file lawsuits and are victorious are only entitled to injunctive relief (removal of the barrier) and attorney's fees. They are not entitled to damage awards.
Under H.R. 620 the burden would be unfairly shifted to disabled persons to make sure the business community is complying with the ADA. For example, this legislation would force the aggrieved party to file written technical notice, often needing a lawyer, give the offending party 60 days to respond, then force the victim to wait another 120 days to see if "substantial progress" is made to fix the problem, before the matter can legally enter the court system. Is the United States Congress reasonably expecting people with a non-legal background to understand the technical intricacies of the ADA to file notice?
In addition, if businesses are not legally required to make their accommodations accessible under the ADA, what incentive do they have to comply before a complaint is filed in court? Rep. Jim Langevin (D-R.I.) who uses a wheelchair said on the House floor, "The idea that places of public accommodation should receive a free pass for six months before correctly implementing a law that has been a part of our legal framework for nearly three decades creates an obvious disincentive for ADA compliance."
Presently, 16 million seniors have one or more disabilities, with mobility issues being the most common. Are proponents of the bill going to argue the elderly community should have to wait six months or more to visit a hospital or doctor's office because it's not accessible? Not to mention being barred from everyday activities like going shopping or the movies.
The ADA has been the law of the land for the past 28 years. Are members of Congress going to argue that businesses have not had enough time to comply with the ADA's requirements? The ADA National Network, funded by the federal government, offers no cost technical assistance to businesses about how to comply under the law. Furthermore, this assistance is offered at 10 regional centers around the country, and there are tax credits available to businesses that remove barriers for the disabled community. Having almost 30 years of notice, tax credits and the ADA National Network, it's hard to cry foul that the ADA is too onerous.
Lastly, proponents of the bill believe it's a necessity because of unethical attorneys who are bringing frivolous lawsuits. People on both sides of this debate can agree that unwarranted litigation is a problem in this country. However, this bill does nothing to fix that problem! First, as referenced above, federal law does not permit plaintiffs to collect damages for cases filed under Title III of the ADA. While it's true some states permit monetary damages for violations, the current proposal does nothing to change state law. Most importantly, what other member of a federally protected class must wait months to exercise their civil rights against discrimination?
When Bush signed the ADA he said, "Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down." Sadly this legislation recreates exclusionary walls for disabled Americans that the ADA fought so hard to knock down. Presently, the United States Senate has shown better judgment than the House of Representatives, with 42 Senators promising to block any vote on this shameful legislation. While that is good news for the disabled community, let's hope these senators' commitment does not waiver.

Short Term, Long Term... Quick & Easy Loans!
How Mobile Money Australia Started
The Managing Director of our company back in 1990 had a serious motor accident. Suffering broken vertebrae, he was hospitalised for several months and when released was not fit for his normal employment and would not be for some time. Being the normal married person with 2 children and a house mortgage he had used all his savings while incapacitated and approached his lender to see what his options were. He was told that unfortunately unless he paid his mortgage payments, his family home would be sold by the lender. At the time the family had approximately $90,000 mobile assets ie, motor cycle, boat and 2 cars but after approaching several lenders he was told the same scenario. If your income cannot service the loan it does not matter how many assets you have – legally you cannot borrow the money. He was forced to sell his family home and his assets and start again.
In 1994 after resuming employment he thought there must be many people with assets who were unable to borrow money through banks and finance companies as he had experienced that problem himself. After extensive research of the pawn broking laws even though in the past they were mainly for small items there was no legal reason to stop pawnbroking to be used on goods such as cars, boats, motorcycles, trucks, caravans, machinery or any large mobile item.

Copyright Agency and Viscopy to merge
After a successful 5 year partnership, Copyright Agency and Viscopy announce they will be merging.
After a successful five-year 'Services Agreement' between rights management organisations, the Copyright Agency and Viscopy, the two organisations have agreed in principle to begin the formal arrangements to merge.
Between them, the two organisations represent some 43,000 members, ranging from visual artists and illustrators to journalists, cartoonists, surveyors, educational authors and publishers.
Viscopy Chair, Tim Denny, says, "Since operating under the Services Agreement, licensing revenue to Viscopy's visual artist members has increased by 10%.
"The proposed merger is a very positive move which will deliver further benefits to our members and partners through reduced administration fees, more seamless operations and greater support for Australian creatives and culture. The Viscopy Board will be unanimously recommending to its members that they vote in favour of this positive step."
Under the proposed merger Copyright Agency will create a new class of membership, 'visual artist', for Viscopy's approximately 13,000 Australian and New Zealand visual arts members. Those members will be able to elect a new Visual Arts Director to the Copyright Agency Board.
The merger would take place by way of a Scheme of Arrangement which requires approval by the Supreme Court, the corporate regulator ASIC and the membership itself. If successful, Viscopy members will automatically become members of Copyright Agency.
Chair of the Copyright Agency, Kim Williams, says "The rights to fair payment for the work of visual artists and all creatives are under challenge as never before so it's vitally important their voice is given due prominence in the copyright debate. We will ensure this, as well as delivering more revenue to Australian and New Zealand artists through consolidation of operations and reduced costs."

Copyright Agency | Viscopy is a not-for-profit rights management organisation that provides services to ensure artists, writers and publishers are fairly rewarded for the reproduction of their work. We provide licences for people to use creative content, and distribute those fees back to creators as royalties. We are committed to encouraging the development of lively and diverse markets for published works with our range of commercial licence solutions and through our philanthropic Cultural Fund, which provides grants to Australian creators.

Rochester has some of the most segregated schools in the country. This has major impacts on our children. Studies have shown schools with a high concentration of impoverished children have lower achievement. In Rochester, more than half of children live in poverty. All of our city schools have a high concentration of students from low-income households.
Advocating for a countywide school district is the moral position to take on this issue, but there is no legal mechanism or political will to accomplish this goal.
Therefore, we have to desegregate our schools from within. The city is racially and economically diverse, but our schools are not. The problem is people with means are moving when their children reach school age or choosing private schools. The city and school district will work together to draft and implement a comprehensive desegregation plan. Family by family, block by block, neighborhood by neighborhood, we will persuade families to invest in city schools. No one wants to be the "first." No one wants to "experiment" with their child. But if we build a critical mass, we can encourage families to try city schools together. This plan will not create "entitlement" schools, but schools that provide enrichment and opportunity to all. Diversity in schools will help children from all walks of life. It's important to involve all stakeholders in the development of this desegregation plan, including families from all backgrounds and neighborhoods.
We also recognize the role poverty plays in achievement. We must help current families, providing childcare, jobs and job training and fiber internet.
The City of Rochester will be a strong supporter of a strong public school system. We must be true partners. To that end, Rochester's mayor should not run the school district. We oppose mayoral control of schools and receivership districts. We want to preserve an elected school board. We should explore ways to collaborate to save resources.
Library hours will be expanded.
We will focus on disconnected youth. These are young people not in school or working. Disconnected youth are more likely to live in poverty, drop out of high school, have a disability, and give birth to children at a young age. A report by Measure of America found that in the Rochester region, nearly one-third of African Americans and nearly one-fourth of Latinos between ages 16 and 24 were not working or in school. This is a crisis that needs bold intervention. Our administration will look at aggressive ways to engage these young people and get them into meaningful education or work programs. We must help these young people get on a path to obtaining the skills, experience and education necessary to succeed.

For you horror fans, we take a look at a supernatural horror classic you should be watching this Friday 13th.
Today is Friday 13th and, traditionally, many of us like to go to the cinema or curl up on the couch and watch a horror movie. Whether it's Freddy or Jason carving up some hapless co-ed, Jigsaw revelling in the poetic justice of the latest talking meat-sack he is putting through the grinder or Linda Blair spewing pea soup into the wrinkly crevices of Max von Sydow's face, we all love a good scare to shock us out of our daily routine.
The Fortean film eschews cheap scares, and instead embraces mystery, uncertainty and more than a little creeping dread
Over the last six years, horror movies have seen a return to the more traditional trappings of the supernatural, as opposed to the torture porn sub-genre made so popular in the early 00s. Like the literature of the Victorian era, popular horror narratives have once again been attracted to ghostly hauntings, psychic phenomena and demon possession, but with a more modern paint job – see Paranormal Activity, Insidious and Sinister, to name a few.
However, these films offer up a variation on the same old trope of the supernatural villain who, while thought to be only make-believe by the film's protagonists, turns out to be real and therefore must be challenged or destroyed. There is another type of supernatural narrative though, one that eschews cheap scares and disappointing CGI finales, but instead embraces mystery, uncertainty and more than a little creeping dread: the Fortean film.
A Fortean is someone who subscribes to the ideas and philosophy of Charles Fort, an analyst of unusual phenomena. More specifically, a Fortean neither accepts nor discounts the paranormal outright, but keeps an open mind about the utter strangeness of the universe. A Fortean imagines there is more to this world than first meets the eye and that we are only fooling ourselves if we think we have all the answers. As a Fortean film, Jacques Tourneur's 1957 masterpiece Night of the Demon explores this idea to chilling effect.
What Jacques Tourneur's Night of the Demon does so well is put into doubt the kind of film the audience is watching
Night of the Demon follows Dr John Holden, an academic who specialises in debunking the paranormal. He arrives in England to expose a cult leader who claims to have mastered the dark arts, Julian Karswell, as a fraud. The previous investigator, Dr Harrington, mysteriously perished, either as the victim of a soul-devouring demon summoned by Karswell or by his own misadventure. As Holden, aided by Harrington's daughter, investigates Karswell and his abilities, the lines between fact and faith become blurred, and the power of scientific inquiry is revealed to be just as deadly as superstition.
What Night of the Demon does so well is put into doubt the kind of film the audience is watching. At first, we are positioned to accept this film as a full blown supernatural monster picture, complete with an enormous flying demon. Then Holden and his colleagues discount any and all characters who believe in the supernatural and dismiss Karswell as a charlatan. Then that creeping dread sets in, as Holden's position is challenged at almost every turn. Everyone he encounters, mainly Karswell's mother and his cult members, are so utterly certain that Karswell is the genuine article that Holden himself begins to see things that just might challenge his academic rigour.
Tourneur and the film's screenwriters position Holden, our hero, as somewhat of a demon himself. Trying to get to the heart of Karswell's hold over his subjects, Holden hypnotises one of the cult members, with tragic consequences. This scene showcases the very Fortean idea of how scientific enquiry can be extremely limited when all possibilities are not considered, and that – when abused – science and superstition can be just as dangerous as each other. The scientists underestimate the power of Karswell – whether his power is through the use of dark magic or mental conditioning, the scientists fail to see it until it is too late.
Night of the Demon has the power to expose you to the infinitely dark possibilities of a vast and ultimately unknowable universe
Seeing and believing as two perceptions that are not always mutually inclusive is at the heart of Night of the Demon. Has Karswell unleashed dark forces that he is unable to control, or has he merely succumbed to his own hype? But Holden does learn – to paraphrase Shakespeare – that there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in his philosophy. Is that the existence of an actual malevolent supernatural force, or is it that a belief in the supernatural is powerful enough to kill? Maybe we'll never know.
This ambiguity is what makes Night of the Demon the perfect Fortean film to watch tonight. Rather than get a cheap jump scare by what goes bump in the night in the latest instalment of the Paranormal Activity franchise, experience a cinematic delight that has the power to expose you to the infinitely dark possibilities of a vast and ultimately unknowable universe. Now there's a scary thought.

Shipping & policies
Estimated Shipping
The Royal Mail estimated delivery time within Europe is 3-5 working days, outside Europe 5-7 working days (though delivery to some countries can sometimes take considerably longer and there are usually delays during the 'Christmas rush')
Goods will usually be despatched within 3 days of receiving payment (excluding weekends and Bank Holidays) although it may take longer during busy periods such as Christmas/New Year or if there is an unforeseen emergency. Please check my Shop Announcement section for updates. I will also send a message to confirm despatch.
If paying via Paypal, please note that item(s) will usually be shipped to the name and address registered on your Paypal account so please ensure that this information is up to date before sending payment.
** I AM HAPPY TO COMBINE SHIPPING COSTS ** up to a total combined weight of 2 KG for any single package when shipping overseas - providing it is safe and practicable to do so (i.e. providing items can be packed in the same packaging). This will usually result in a considerable saving on shipping costs, particularly for lighter items. However, please be aware that there will be instances where this will not be the case - or where the saving may not be as much as you had hoped (e.g. if the increased value of a package requires significant additional insurance cover). If you require clarification prior to purchasing - or reserving - an item, please contact me.
Please purchase your items in the usual manner. I will then calculate any combined shipping discount that may apply and issue a prompt refund via Paypal for this amount.
** ITEMS MAY BE PURCHASED FROM ANY OF MY FOUR ETSY SHOPS TO QUALIFY FOR THE COMBINED SHIPPING DISCOUNT ** (although please contact me at time of purchase so that I am aware that you wish to combine shipping across multiple shops)
Purchases within the UK will normally be sent by First Class post (with higher value items being sent via a 'Signed For' trackable method). Heavier packages are sometimes sent via Second Class post (this will usually be mentioned in the listing) - if you require it more urgently please contact me to discuss. International purchases will be sent via Airmail (again, with higher value items being sent via the International 'Signed For' service).
If you require additional insurance or guaranteed next day delivery (UK only for next day delivery), please contact me so that I can invoice you for the extra amount. In some cases, particularly for larger value items, insurance will already have been included in the shipping charges quoted in the item description. Please contact me should you require clarification.
Please note that I often have to estimate shipping costs within the item description (particularly for additional purchases - where it can be difficult to predict the final weight of a package). If, when I come to weighing the item(s) prior to despatch, I find that I have grossly overestimated the shipping costs (after allowing a small amount for packaging) I will refund the difference via Paypal.
Please note that the shipping charges quoted do NOT include any taxes, customs fees etc that may be charged when the item is imported into your own country/state (should indeed they apply). You the buyer are solely responsible for any such charges and for importing the goods from the United Kingdom into your country/state. Please ensure that any goods you purchase do not infringe the customs/import regulations in your own country.
Delivery times can vary. Airmail post within Europe usually takes 3-5 working days, outside Europe around 5-10 working days. Please be aware, however, that international shipping to some countries can take from 2-6 weeks (and that delays can often be the result of lengthy customs procedures within your own country). Unfortunately I have no control over any such delays!
Please contact me if your parcel does not arrive within a reasonable timeframe (after making allowances for any international shipping/customs delays). Non-delivery is extremely rare but, should this happen, a full refund will be given. Please note, however, that I cannot issue a refund until sufficient time has passed for the package to either be safely returned to me or for Royal Mail to deal with the insurance claim. Depending on where you reside, this can be several weeks after initial posting.
If your package is damaged on receipt please contact me immediately and retain the original packaging for possible inspection by the relevant shipping company.
Please note that I cannot refund shipping costs on packages that are returned to me as undelivered or uncollected
Please note that I cannot be held responsible for any consequential loss caused by late delivery, damage in transit or failure to deliver by Royal Mail and/or any other appointed carrier. Liability is limited to the value of the item(s) purchased.
Packaging: textiles and garments are despatched in new strong plastic mailing bags. Patterns and other paper ephemera are despatched in new hard-backed envelopes. As regards other types of packaging, I try to recycle as much as possible in order to reduce costs as well as the impact on the environment. In particular, I almost always use recycled cardboard boxes for three-dimensional objects. If you would like me to post your item in a new cardboard box, please let me know and I will do my best to oblige (subject to availability).
I accept Paypal and Etsy Direct Checkout as methods of payment, as well as Etsy Gift Cards
I will consider other forms of payment (such as a sterling cheque drawn on a UK bank) from UK buyers but please contact me first to discuss. The goods will not be despatched until the cheque has cleared.
I reserve the right to refuse to ship an item to an unconfirmed Paypal address (not usually a problem for smaller purchases but it may be an issue with higher value items).
Returns & exchanges
- Custom or personalized orders
- Perishable products (like food or flowers)
- Digital downloads
- Intimate items (for health/hygiene reasons)
I appreciate that it can be difficult to gauge the suitability of an item from a photograph – so, if the item does not meet your expectations, please contact me to arrange a refund.
I offer a 'no quibble' returns policy, subject to the conditions stated below:
If you wish to return an item, please notify me within 14 days of receipt and return the item within 14 days of notifying me. A refund cannot be given until the item is safely received by me.
The refund (or exchange if applicable) is dependent on the safe receipt of the item by me (complete, unused and in the condition in which it was originally sent to you), so you are advised to use a trackable and/or insured method of shipping and to package carefully (using the packaging in which the item was originally sent - or equivalent).
Unfortunately, I am often unable to refund the initial shipping costs (this is dependent on individual circumstances – e.g. if the item has been misdescribed). Please note too that RETURN shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility.
Additional policies
COLOUR: I make every effort to reproduce colours accurately. However, please be aware of the limitations of colour digital photography and of personal monitor settings: the colours are not always 'true'.

Issues can be dealt with in several ways.
Understanding what makes high-quality, maintainable code would be first, so knowledge of best practices regarding OOP, SOLID, design patterns, API design, etc. is important. Depending on what you mean by security, best practices in those regarding transfer protocols, coding styles, validation, storage, etc. are equally something one can learn.
Planning your work is useful, as a well thought out design is easier to implement, or at least will avoid future problems, than when you are just 'winging it'. Diagramming and project plans can be useful at this stage. Self-management is part of this, so using boards and epic/stories/tasks to track work is important, and there are free tools like Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) or Trello to help.
Requirements gathering will matter so documentation and communication with users and/or clients will make a huge difference. Also, usability matters, so both understanding how to build code for others, whether it is a UI or an API will be important, to keep your clients happy and to avoid rework. With a UI, mockups can be useful, so using Balsamiq or Viso to put together the basics can be a starting point for discussing with users.
It would depend on your code stack. I work primarily in the Microsoft stack, so there are maintenance tools built into Visual Studio (VS) to check for code quality/maintainability and for code clones. Purchasing licenses for products like ReSharper can help. As part of the automated build process, VSTS has components for testing, code quality (Resharper), and build quality, executed on check-in
Independent of the stack, using TDD or unit tests are important, besides saving you time and effort. As an independent, it's tough to work in pairs, but code review can be useful, so enlisting someone to review your work can help.
My feeling is that algorithms help make one a better programmer, but that is likely true of many coding concepts. I did not have algorithms as an undergraduate, so my knowledge is acquired through reading and practice, but after reading and applying Algorithm's in a Nutshell, I felt the quality of my work improved. That said, my development work increased more after understanding Design Patterns, or after consuming books on database design.
Since many types of knowledge improve developing and architecting abilities, one has to consider how it helps and to what degree. Algorithms are coding-in-the-small, often narrowly focused solutions, but which can have a great impact at scale. For many applications, a focus on algorithms would be overkill as data sets and requirements do not require it. In this context, any middling programmer can optimize a basic loop for performance. Proper database design, either relational or OLAP/OLTP, will make your applications better, from both maintenance and performance perspectives. Object-oriented programming makes some type of designs better, those that add objects, while learning correct functional programming helps in contexts where you are increasing functions on a limited number of objects. Learning enterprise architecture helps in the design of large scale operations.
One could equally argue that learning and practicing self-management, communication skills, and code management all make for better programmers, and they do. Ultimately, learning makes one a better developer.

The Times of Israel reports: In a move seen as paving the way for marijuana to be decriminalized, Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan said Thursday he plans to dramatically change the way the Israeli penal code treats private, recreational use of the drug.
Speaking at a press conference to announce his decision, Erdan said he will be adopting proposals put forward by the Anti-Drug Authority to adopt the "Portugal Model," in which possession and use of the drug would be decriminalized and treated largely as a health issue.
"This would mean moving to administrative fines, and criminal prosecution would only be a last resort," Erdan said.

Definition of pique
- sly remarks to pique their curiosity
- he piques himself on his skill as a cook
Brightly colored objects pique a baby's interest.
her seat companion piqued her by repeatedly poking her in the ribs
Peek, peak, and pique: they sound the same but mean very different things.
The first one we learn is peek: it has to do with looking, especially furtively or quickly or through a small space, as in "open the box and peek inside." It's both a noun and a verb; when you peek, you take a peek. Our advice for remembering this one is to keep in mind that you peek in order to see.
Peak is the verb you use to talk about reaching a maximum, or coming to a highest point, literally or figuratively, as in "The meteor shower will last for several days but will peak on Sunday." Its noun counterpart, which refers to various pointed or projecting parts, is more common: something that peaks reaches a peak. Just as every mountain has a peak, thinking of the peak—the highest point—is the way to remember that peak is the choice for reaching the highest levels. Associating the "a" in peak with the "a" in maximum or with a capital "A" (the most mountain-like of letters) can be helpful.
Pique is the oddball of this trio. We know the "ique" spelling from the likes of technique, antique, and unique, but pique nonetheless looks a little exotic. It comes from a French word meaning literally "to prick," but its earliest English use was as a noun. The noun is still used: a pique is a transient feeling of wounded vanity—a kind of resentment. As a verb, pique was (and still is, especially in British English) used to mean "to arouse anger or resentment in," as in "Their rudeness piqued me." Now, however, it's most often our interest or curiosity that gets piqued—that is to say, our interest or curiosity is aroused, as in "The large key hanging next on the wall piqued my curiosity."
Pique has another meaning too, though it's less common than any of those already mentioned. Pique sometimes is used to mean "to take pride in (oneself)," as in "She piques herself on her editing skills."
Master this trio, and you can pique yourself on your word skills.

MAMARONECK, N.Y. -- Michael Preston and Sharon Laughlin sat outside the community shelter Sunday afternoon waiting for the flood water that nearly submerged small cars earlier in the day on Mamaroneck Avenue to recede.
Laughlin, who was one of 233 residents to register at the shelter, arrived right when it opened at 5 p.m. Saturday. Over 40 others, like Preston, came overnight during the storm.
"Some people are leaving, but new people are coming in," said Town Supervisor Valerie O'Keeffe, from the town's emergency operation center (EOC) at the Weaver Street Fire House -- all of the town's department heads were stationed at the EOC during the storm to improve communication.
Some left the shelter to check on their homes, including one who told Laughlin that her apartment building near Grand Street was "literally gone." By high tide at 10:45 a.m. Mamaroneck Avenue "looked like a river" from Halstead Avenue to North Barry Avenue, said Village Mayor Norman Rosenblum.
About 40 percent of homes in the Village of Mamaroneck, or about 3,300, lost power overnight.
"I think we lucked out," said Rosenblum, who praised the collaborative effort between the two villages, the town and the county. "I think it's a combination of luck and four days of preparation."
Many Mamaroneck and Larchmont residents who lost power were walking the debris-ridden streets early Sunday afternoon. Many stopped by Harbor Island, where a five-foot storm surge carried water onto Boston Post Road by Fenimore Road.
Both the Town and Village of Mamaroneck issued mandatory evacuation orders Friday afternoon. During the storm, both ordered further evacuations in anticipation of high tide, causing damaging storm surges, which reached five feet in the town, according to O'Keeffe.
Town residents along Brookside Drive were evacuated around 4 a.m. Sunday, but the serious flooding occurred in the village, where residents near Old White Plains Road and Mamaroneck Avenue were evacuated Saturday night.
Fenimore Road, between Bishop Avenue and Waverly Avenue, the Jefferson Avenue Bridge, North Barry Avenue and the Flats were all impassable as of 3 p.m. Sunday. Columbus Park, which is the point where the Sheldrake River and the Mamaroneck River meet, was entirely underwater. Rosenblum noted that the streets are re-opening as the water begins to recede.
"The same places that flooded in the 2007 storm flooded," O'Keeffe said.
New York State Assemblyman George Latimer (D Rye), who walked Mamaroneck Avenue and other effected areas to assess the damage, will seek state and federal aid because he said neither the village, nor its taxpayers, will be able to foot the bill. Latimer, Rosenblum and deputy mayor Louis Santoro expect the response and cleanup will take at least one week.
The Town of Mamaroneck and Larchmont didn't experience as much flooding, but did have many down wires and trees. Con Edison arrived in the town around 1 p.m. Sunday and are at work restoring service, O'Keeffe said.
Ralph Engel, a Larchmont resident, had his power restored within eight hours.
The American Red Cross will remain open until they are needed, said Avril Dennis, volunteer mental health leader for the Metro New York Chapter of the Red Cross in Westchester County. "We're not going anywhere," she said.

Do not fool yourself. YOU ARE HELPLESS.

This means you are a target.

How is this movement financed you ask?
You have questions that have very obvious answers.
Just goes to show how little research you have done.
Open up your eyes.
Listen, you'll be sick at what you find.

so here goes.
All those who believe UHURU will/can not happen. Correct me if I'm wrong.
* In the fight for democracy, the ANC military wing were trained at (Communist?) camps in our neighboring countries (Zimbabwe?) - Wonderd why SA did nothing to stop Mugabe?
* Strikes in SA are highly organised - anyone not participating gets it (Winnie Mandela used the necklace( burning tire around the neck), Security strikes - those not conforming were pushed under trains, Imperial transport strike - Drivers not laying down tools were shot or beaten to death and the list goes on) - just read your newspapers.
* with the above mentioned intimidation tacktics, if the organisers were to tell them to murder and plunder (take their country back from the Europeans) how many will resist - "I kill you or I get killed by my own people"
Looking at these "Questions/statements" I'd say UHURU is not only possible it's all most fact.
