Orange Polska is DevMuster Hackathon's partner
On April 7-8, the third edition of DevMuster Hackathon took place at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology - an event bringing together supporters of creating computer programs and mobile applications. Nearly 50 young developers took part in this year's meeting. For 24 hours they have been working hard to create a unique mobile security program or application. Orange Polska was one of the partners for the Hackathon, and also sponsor of the awards.
The coders finally presented 10 projects. The ten-member Jury consisting of representatives from Orange Research and Development Center, and companies such as Samsung, DaftCode, Simple and Infullmobile appreciated, and awarded 2 most interesting projects. The winning solution was a program designed to protect e-mail accounts. The second place was taken by a mobile application used to eliminate hazards on the road. The application, using a smartphone (located on the windscreen) recognizes license plates of other vehicles and informs us about the potential danger from inattentive drivers. It is based on access via the API to the information provided on the social portal tablica-rejestracyjna.pl.
During the event, participants were able to receive expert advice from Orange Polska employees, and had a chance to get acquainted with the international program Imagine with Orange, which was presented by Magda Hamada - Garwolinska. Magda talked about how the platform works, and presented the topics of ongoing campaigns.

Many were met with shock, concern, and outrage after the President lashes out on his Attorney General and the Special Prosecutor charged with leading the Russia investigation during an interview with the New York Times.
Questions are swirling about whether the nation's top cop Jeff Sessions will be stepping down after President Donald Trump vented to the New York Times.
"How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said thanks Jeff, but I can't -- you know, I'm not going to take you. It's extremely unfair, and that's a mild word, to the president," said Trump.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions shook off resignation questions for now as he stated, "we love this job, we love this department and I plan to continue to do so as long as it is appropriate."
In addition to Sessions, President Trump also slamming Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, former FBI Director James Comey, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, and Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller,the man tasked with investigating Russia and their possible collusion with the Trump campaign.
Trump telling the New York Times, Mueller's office is rife with conflicts of interest, and warning investigators would cross a red line if they look into Trump family finances - not tied to Russia, saying "I think that's a violation."
Democrats were quick to accuse President Trump of over-reach.
"The President can't start drawing red lines. Mueller has right to investigate this. He reports to the Justice Department and not the President of the United States," says Senator Amy Klobuchar. "What we're seeing is obstruction of justice, criminal intent unfolding almost a textbook case right before our eyes," added Senator Richard Blumenthal.
The congressional investigation also heating up.
The Senate Intelligence Committee will interview White House Adviser and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner in private Monday.
Donald Trump Jr. and former Trump Campaign Manager Paul Manafort have been asked to testify next Wednesday.
"If they don't voluntarily come, they will be subpoenaed," says Senator Chuck Grassley.
While the president did not rule out firing Prosecutor Mueller, top democrats say that move would provoke a firestorm of outrage and could result in Congress renewing a law designed to protect the independent counsel.

People argue about it.. Who is best or what is great and what is rubbish. People are crazy!
This site contains music of what has been termed "Progressive". Some love it but many believe it is not for them.
Hard facts:
A selection of some of the most successful(sold in the millions) and timeless PROG albums and tunes.
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon
Beatles - Sergeant Pepper
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Led Zeppelin - Zep 1V
Beethoven - 5th
Mike Oldfield -Tubular Bells
Pink Floyd - The Wall
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Beatles - Abbey Road
Now a similarly short list of some of the most successful POPULAR albums and tunes of all time.
Pink Floyd - Dark side of the moon
Beatles - Sergeant Pepper
Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
Led Zeppelin - Zep 1V
Beethoven - 5th
Mike Oldfield -Tubular Bells
Pink Floyd - The Wall
David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust
Beatles - Abbey Road
See a trend here?
I could write much longer lists and the fact is that there should be no surprise. Go too far in the direction of pop and you have fast food music. We all do it but it is actually pretty empty, has no lasting quality and ultimately gets forgotten.
Get too Progressive & it becomes baffling & annoying to anyone who hasn't yet spent the time trying it out.
Let us hope that advertising(this controls what we see and hear every day) finds a way to allow mass exposure to creative music again one day. Unfortunately, people rarely go looking for interesting well made food if they don't know where to find it. Especially if they are standing outside a burger bar at the time. Why would they bother? They may not like it when they find it.
Who recommends a burger bar to friends? Almost nobody. It is not interesting in the slightest. Who goes to burger bars? Everyone! Why? They are everywhere and always the same. We like that in life.
I am involved with many musicians who really don't have any interest in genres, limitations or anything that gets in the way of a bit of fun and good music.
It is certain that nobody in the lists above cared much about opinions or popularity either. Few will ever achieve their level of brilliance, imagination or skill but that isn't the point. With encouragement someone will. That is always the case.
Odin(My first band) and Corvus Stone(right now), have almost nothing in common musically. So what? I love it all!
I don't give a monkeys if we are prog enough or too prog. If what we do follows any rules or breaks them. I have no idea of the "rules" anyway.
Is "prog" for you? Of course it bloody well is! Do you like at least one Abba tune also? No? Liar!!!!!!!
Try all the links above and you will see. I guarantee that you will find something you like.
Toodle Pip for now

but Cilic made sure he used the second
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. Troy Tulowitzki Jersey . -- Minnesota defensive tackle Kevin Williams has a hyperextended right knee but no ligament damage after a low hit the Vikings felt was illegal. Coach Leslie Frazier said Monday that an MRI on Williams also revealed a "significant" bone bruise as well as a strained posterior capsule, the thick structure that surrounds the knee. Williams was hurt Sunday at San Francisco when 49ers guard Joe Looney took him down with a chop block away from the play in the third quarter. Williams didnt see the hit coming, and Frazier said after the game the team would probably send video to the NFL for possible punishment. The Vikings have been planning to rotate Williams and rookie Sharrif Floyd this season. Floyd is recovering from a minor left knee injury. Roberto Alomar Blue Jays Jersey .Navas says on his website I feel outraged, my privacy and that of my family have been violated. ... I have asked my lawyers in Costa Rica to take the necessary legal action.Costa Ricas Judicial Investigation Department revealed on Wednesday that 24 of its own agents were being investigated for using an information platform to access information about Navas. Troy Tulowitzki White Jersey . -- Sam Lacey, a former NBA All-Star centre who spent most of his 13-year career with the Kansas City Kings, has died.ZAGREB, Croatia -- Marin Cilic from Croatia overcame problems with his serve to win the Zagreb Indoors tournament on Sunday, defeating top-seeded Tommy Haas from Germany 6-3, 6-4. Fifth-seeded Cilic gained his fourth title in Zagreb and became the third Croat overall to win at least 10 career titles. Cilic also lifted his career record in Zagreb to 22-4, winning 20 of his last 21 matches at the event. Cilic -- champion here in 2009, 10 and last year -- struggled with his first serve in the opening set but played some great returns with a solid baseline performance. The 35-year-old Haas broke in the first game but then lost five out of the next six. Haas also wasted a break point forr a 4-2 lead in the second set, allowing Cilic to step up the pressure and gain a 5-3 lead. Roger Clemens Jersey. Haas saved a match point, but Cilic made sure he used the second opportunity. "Its nice to be in the finals after the tough last year I had," Cilic said. "I played (under) great pressure." Haas in turn said Marin "played big points better." Cilics coach Goran Ivanisevic has 22 titles and Ivan Ljubicic has 10. Cilic and Haas are tied 2-2 in head-to-heads. Making the Zagreb final was Haas best performance this year, after he lost in the opening rounds in Auckland and at the Australian Open. Haas won his last title in Vienna last year.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'EZ-Flash' started by MegaMario, Jul 28, 2006.
Just wondering. I can't figure it out.
What hack are you talking about?
I'm assuming the one and only....the extra tracks on wifi.
Mine's working perfectly Fine. Single Player and MultiPlayer. I haven't tried Wi-Fi...
Yes, I'm talking about the one to play offline courses on WiFi.
Anyways, what method did you use Martin88? I tried the ips patch, but that didn't work.
I don't play MKDS, I wasn't aware of said hack.
yeah there's that and one for MPH that makes u invincible on wifi ...lame. at least the mkds one is somewhat beneficial.
please share with us how you got it to work Martin88
I would also like to know
I am using the patch that lets you race the extra courses on wifi (such as Waluigi Pinball)
What I did was I used a version of the patch that has ndsloader on it (in other words, it worked from a flashcard) and wrote the whole thing to the NOR memory. Now all I have to do is tap the middle icon on the left, then tap the patch file and it instantly boots Mario Kart in SLOT-1 with the patch applied
Where did you find that patch I tried 1443543 diffrent things to get that darn thing to work ~_~
Yes I am very interested by this patch can you send it us or post the adress ?

After a tough start in Nanaimo, horrible rains on the way to Tofino, there have been a lot of bright spots on the trip thus far. A great hill climb coming into Port Alberni.......... then my back rack falling off on the downhill on our way to Timmy's, which is still yet to be properly repaired (I did my best with zap straps), not great but manageable The highways were frightening on the way to Tofino, but the gelato in Ucluelet more than made up for the traffic that seemed to be mostly made up of porsches. The ocean waves were incredible on the Tofino beaches......... the wind however made playing Frisbee there a challenge.
Courtney was great getting to visit with Dean and Kelly before their pending nuptials in July, thanks a ton you two! We appreciate all the hospitality you showed our merry band of misfits. The ride to Victoria actually was much easier than expected, although we were not pushing ourselves all that hard. A wonderful couple took pity on us in Chimaneus where we spent the night on a beautiful ocean bay, in what they referred to as a cabin. I saw it as a Taj Mahal of sorts, our oasis in a time of need. Thank you to those who opened their hearts and home to us that evening. Mill Bay was a neat experience where we met a very nice elderly gentleman who informed us that we need not go over the Malahat (a nasty road on the way to Vic with a horrible climb on an almost no shoulder again). We took the ferry he suggested and feel great about the trail he had mentioned we should try. It was both beautiful and flat, so thank you random sir. The past couple of days spent in Victoria have been awesome with sunshine, pretty ladies and of course SUSHI! All we could eat and a three hour stomach ache later we recovered just fine. Absolutely fabulous! On our way back to Van tomorrow, not looking forward to leaving this great city but more adventure awaits..............Stay tuned.........................please =)

Last week I spent time in a former city where I resided that shall remain nameless. Why do I not speak its name? Because unlike the fair New York City, to whom I returned as a friend long departed, this city and I mutually dislike each other. In my post-adolescence, this city has become my arch nemesis in a way that cheerleaders were during my middle school years.
And in true, arch nemesis fashion, the trip was a bust from the beginning. First off, David couldn't go back with me. Now David doesn't despise this place quite the way I do. In fact, he makes frequent return trips to this place for work-related reasons. Sometimes he is there two or three weeks each month. He still likes this city. But for me, the whole draw for me ending up in this place the first time was because that is where David lived at the time. And this trip confirmed it. This name-withheld city sucks without David there. It is a godforsaken place where while I was in the courthouse, I couldn't always tell the other attorneys from the loitering homeless people, because all were unwashed and wearing fleece. Grunge has been over a long time, people! It is time to put away the fleece unless you are actually on a hiking trail somewhere. On this trip, I was walking one evening to meet some friends at a location about 15 blocks away from my hotel, and about halfway there I was hit with an overwhelming feeling of nausea that made me turn around and walk back to the comfort of my hotel room. It is gross out there, people. There were the roving bands of anarchists clad in black, the signs of needle drugs on almost every corner, and enormous (I am talking 400 pounds), wheelchair-bound, neck-tattooed, tube-topped women buying nothing but extra-long Slim Jims in downtown Walgreens locations. It is the kind of place where one risks contracting hepatitis at almost any point in time. Could you expect anything more from a place where a disgusting wall of chewed up gum is an actual tourist attraction?
But I am already ahead of myself. First off, as expected, the plane trip out there was fraught with difficulties because of summer thunderstorms in the southeast. As a result, I missed my flight where I had secured a first class upgrade from ATL to SEA (the airport code is permissible), and instead got stuck on an overbooked flight that was over an hour delayed leaving Atlanta at 11 pm EST. So that put me getting into the godforsaken city at nearly 2 am. Sensing this could be a problem, I called the hotel from the Atlanta airport to tell them I would be arriving very late and indicating my approximate arrival time. So imagine my surprise when I got there, arrived at the hotel, and was told that they didn't have a room for me. Way to roll out the red carpet, terrible city! The hotel clerk was robot-like in mannerisms and completely unsympathetic to the utter exhaustion that I felt and the fact that I didn't have a room. It brought back fond memories of other passive-aggressive encounters that I experienced in this much beloved home of grunge rock music. No, I said that wrong. It brought me back to the rage that I felt whenever I got stuck behind another pot smoking moron driving 45 miles an hour in the LEFT LANE of I-5 on my daily commute. Hyatt at Olive 8, your overnight staff sucks. I am telling my husband to take his Hyatt Diamond Club business travel dollars only to Starwood properties in the future. They sent me across the road to the Grand Hyatt, where the manager checking me in wasn't sure who was actually staying at her hotel, as she kept trying doors to rooms where people where in fact already resting.
So after that whole debacle, the trip had nowhere to go but up right? Well, the next afternoon, when they finally checked me into the hotel where I had my reservation, things got a little better because they gave me a pretty large suite.
The room even had a TV in the bathroom mirror which I never knew my life was missing before.
It turned out to be pretty convenient that I had a large hotel room, complete with a comfortable bathrobe, because what do you do when forced to spend time in a city that disgusts you? Of course! You spend a lot of time in the sanctity and cleanliness of your own hotel room.
Of course, outside contact was a necessity since I was in town for a work conference. That part of the trip was fine. The conference selected two programs I proposed to be presented at the conference, and because they were working in a city that treats me so nice, they scheduled both for the last day of the conference. So yes, that was pleasant, but at least it went fine.
Then, when I was needing the break from the conference, there was the convenience of my hotel being two blocks away from the Nordstrom flagship store where I could spend far too much money on the Early Access Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And spend too much money, I certainly did. Of course, I also visited the Nordstrom Café every day for lunch and consumed too many calories by eating a lemon ricotta cookie there every day. But those cookies were the brightest spot of my day. So delicious. And that decadence seemed mild to the Alexander Wang boots that I also consumed. Yes, it is embarrassing the depths to which I will sink when trying to cheer myself up in a place I dislike. And also in my defense, it was my birthday, and in light of how terrible I feel about the age I turned and how old my body is telling me it is, I needed something like those boots to tell me I can still be a bad ass (This is particularly funny if you realize that there isn't one single day in my life that I ever have done anything that could possibly categorize me as a "bad ass").
The greatest highlight of the trip though, was being with people who made my time in a city I dislike better. No, David wasn't there. I didn't get to see Thichiot or my other Sudanese friends who were out-of-town at the time. I didn't get to drive down to Pierce County and see all of my favorite work friends. However, I was able to see my library school friends, and so that made it all okay. We even formed a band at the Westlaw Party at the EMP Museum and let a few other librarian friends join us in song:
In this video, I seem a little more rehearsed than the others, but it's because I had the unfair advantage of singing this song many times in my childhood using the high posts of my bed as a microphone. You see, Beauty and the Beat, by The Go Go's was the first album that I ever owned and it was my dream to be a Go Go. I loved the album so much that when I thought the movers lost it when we moved from Mississippi to Pensacola when I was four, I made my mom by me another copy. Then we found it and we had two copies of the record. Sure, I may have liked the songs "Lust to Love" (only because we used to sing "Leslie Love" instead of the actual words as kids), "Tonite" and "This Town" more than "We Got the Beat", but there wasn't the option to sing those songs. So, at least in some small way, I got to live out that childhood dream before my 35th birthday, even if the EMP stage didn't give me enough room to really do my full on Belinda Carlisle impression.
Finally, the last night of the trip, my friends attending the conference came together at Serious Pie in Seattle for a little birthday celebration for me. I am not going to lie, this past year of my life has been pretty rotten, so I can only hope that my year at 35 will be somewhat better even though every news article you read about the age 35 is depressing. Apparently, your looks are all downhill after you turn 35 in addition to your fertility. Not that I need any reminders about the latter. Yes, this isn't a birthday that I took very well, but at least I had good friends to spend it with.
And with that, I put the lid on this return trip.

Re: Richard Abbott, 1730, Culpeper Co, VA
Penny Baumchen 1/19/08
A couple of years ago we established a DNA connection to John Abbott of Abbott Station Ky.Since then I have written a series of articles in The Abbott Newsletter about John based on the reports of his family that they descend from Richard of Culpeper Va.The articles are researched at our genealogy library and depend heavily on court documents and Wills (all cited).
Based on the assumption that we descend from Richard Abbott Sr.I have also researched Richard Jr. and currently I am researching Thomas.
Have you continued you research into Richard Abbott Sr. and can you provide any insight into Thomas or James?Also have you been able to find proof that John descends from Richard Abbott Sr.

Tea Time in Montreal's Old Port
The Old Port in Montreal is a central location that reflects the meeting of old and new. Boutiques line the narrow cobblestone streets while restaurants vie for your attention. There are various ways to escape the hustle and bustle. Spas are a plentiful option or grab a bench along the pier to people watch. A less obvious choice is to go down Rue St Sulpice and visit an exquisite tea shop.

We would like this application to come to committee if recommended for approval. Currently there is huge overspill car parking from the existing office blocks. We are concerned that this development has not provided enough parking for the operation of the home, staff and visitors. There should be a contribution towards the bus services such as the 42 or 20a/C both being council subsidised services, and their future is not guaranteed. Secondly this is a prominent hill side the office block landscaping has not been successful in hiding the building from the surrounding valley.

Antique Victorian Dollhouse
This dollhouse comes with its share of history. The seller's father had bought it in the 1960's in London. The antique dealer he bought it from claimed that this house had spent 50 years or so in a storage at Sotheby's. Apparently, it was left there at the end of the 19th century!
My favorite has got to be the faux-parquet floor and detailed wood carvings! Bon Voyage my good house, and I wish you find a family that will love you for a hundred years more!

By Letizia Faina, Business Development Manager, The Links Group – Qatar.
Recently, Qatar hosted two events for foreign trade delegations. The first event, named Back2Business, was organised by the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Qatar, and the second event was organised by UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) and took place alongside the Milipol Exhibition.
Back2Business is an annual business networking event initially launched by the German Business Council Qatar (GBCQ) in 2004. As the event increased in popularity among Qatar's business community, the Italian and the American Business Councils joined the organising committee, which helped attract some 800 participants in 2011. Since then, event participation has continued to grow and more foreign business councils continue to lend their support.
This year, the Back2Business steering committee was represented by the Qatar Australia New Zealand Business Association (QANZBA); Qatar British Business Forum (QFFB); Dutch Business Council Qatar (DBCQ); German Business Council Qatar (GBCQ); Italian Chamber of Commerce Qatar (IBCQ); Scandinavian Business Council Qatar (SBCQ); Spanish Business Council (SBC), Turkish Businessmen Association (TBA); Qatari French Business Club (QFBC), and Qatari Businessmen Association (QBA).
As part of this year's event, the Italian Chamber of Commerce organised a business breakfast the day after for a group of 10 Italian companies representing different business sectors such as design & furniture, quarrying, construction materials, marble & granites and general industrial services.
The Links Group was delighted to support the event as main sponsor. Recognised as the foremost company formation specialist in the Middle East, we were asked to present to the delegation The Links Group's business model and explain the fundamental role that we play in the Qatari market. After a brief introduction from Palma Libotte, Chairman of the Italian Chamber Of Commerce, we were also invited to talk about the practical aspects of doing business in Qatar and share an overview about The Links Group and our services.
Two weeks later, The Links Group was pleased to support another networking event as co-sponsor. On 19th October we met with a delegation of 40 UK business representatives visiting Qatar for the Milipol Exhibition, a trade show focused on internal state security which attracts strong participation from global companies in the field. Wayne Merrick, General Manager – Qatar, attended the event on behalf of The Links Group.
He was joined by many VIPs and senior executives, including: HMA Nicholas Hopton, Her Majesty's Ambassador to Qatar; Chris Ford, Police and Security Trade Advisor, UKTI; Lee Keane, Partner, Clyde & Co; Kevin Smith, Training Expert, Ministry of Interior Police Training Institute; and Paul Gilligan, Commercial Director – Middle East, Octink.
As the trade delegation was not familiar with the Qatari market, Wayne was invited to share an overview of Qatar's economic position and the vast number of business opportunities available in the country. Particular attention was paid to the differences between individual and corporate partners, and what this means for foreign companies establishing a commercial presence in Qatar.
While Qatar's commercial licensing requirements continue to deter some foreign companies from entering the market, it is important to know that working with the right company formation specialist on the ground will ensure the optimum protection of a foreign entity's 49% shareholding.
The benefits of The Links Group's corporate nominee structure were explained and well received, and we are already consulting some of these companies on their market requirements.

Top 7 Reasons Why Primary Education is Important
Singapore houses a number of educational institutions that offers services from basic to post-graduate modes of learning. The excellence of Singaporean institutions is evident in the inclusion of many universities in the top performing schools in Asia, if not in the world. Primary level of education is also valued in the country and this is supported by the diversity of institutes that offer specialized learning styles. While many people are aware of the value of university-based learning, many are not informed of the tremendous impact of primary education in the society. Consequently, below is a discussion of the seven reasons why primary education is of great significance.
Motivation. Learning the basics is the most important technique in understanding the complexities of life. Such baseline knowledge is taught in the top primary school in singapore. At this level, the young students are educated to value knowledge as a tool to improve their lives. When students have achieved this, they will be motivated to pursue their education, to learn more and to be active members of the society in the future.
Mental development. Adults are expected to be accountable of their lives and that of their respective families. To reach this sense of responsibility, adults should have had instruction and guidance during their formative years. Therefore, singapore international schools and other related primary schools must play an important role in stimulating psychological and mental development of the students that is suitable for their age and level of understanding. They can do this by providing tasks to the children and letting the young students be aware that they we be held liable for the consequences of their actions.
Language barrier. Problems with communication are inevitable in a person's life. To acquire life-changing communication skills, students at a very young age must be taught how to express themselves through spoken words. Primary schools must encourage these children to be courageous in relaying their thoughts in order for them to overcome language problems in the future.
Imagination. Toddlers are very receptive to colors. They are also capable of forming abstract structures. When these creations and color attraction are combined, the foundations for creative thinking are established by these students. This is the reason why primary schools showcase play times, story books and activities that stimulate the imaginative power of the students.
Social responsibility. The primary level of education inculcates the value of sharing, compassion and responsibility towards peers through various interactive games. These games are formatted in a way that allows the youngsters to enjoy while letting them realize that humans are created as social people. By realizing the importance of teamwork at this early stage in life, properly educated primary students will grow to become responsible and concerned citizens.
Emotional quotient. Given their young age, students of primary schools are often seen crying over toys, pencils or any other petty things in life. If teachers will be able to properly handle these tantrums, students will learn the basics of emotional management which will be very useful in their adult life.
Humanity. Students of primary schools can be regarded as a clean slate that can be painted into different hues. If guided properly, these children can be molded to become individuals full of love, compassion, patience, hope and respect.
Primary education provides the foundation of human learning. The success or failure at this level of instruction will be evident in the adult years of the person.

CSPN appoints Raymond Rede as VP managed care relations
DREXEL HILL, Pa. — Community Specialty Pharmacy Network has appointed a former Bayer Pharmaceuticals executive to serve as the organization's VP managed care relations.
Raymond Rede will be responsible for "leading contracting initiatives with managed care organizations on national, regional and local levels and assisting in the development of our specialty provider network solutions," CSPN CEO Gerry Crocker said.
Rede comes to CSPN from Bayer Pharmaceuticals, where he was most recently director of the company's managed markets marketing, a role in which he developed Bayer's managed market strategy and messaging focusing on payer health economics for key Bayer specialty products. Prior to this, Rede had previously served as director of the drug maker's specialty pharmacy market segment, which encompassed developing Bayer's specialty pharmacy strategy across all specialty pharmacy stakeholder segments.
"In my experience over the last few years, two things are becoming very clear. Health outcomes have become a focus across the entire healthcare system," Rede said. "The specialty pharmacy segment is in a unique position to step forward and lead. Secondly, in the diseases specialty pharmacy is active in, there is still no substitute for personal intervention, particularly if positive outcomes are the goal. CSPN is well positioned to address these points for employers, payers and manufacturers alike."

Walmart pumps up the fuel savings
BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Walmart is bringing Americans some much-wanted relief at the pump this fall and winter with the return of its "Great Gas Rollback" program.
Beginning Aug. 31 and ending Dec. 24, Walmart customers using a Walmart gift card will receive a 10 cent per gallon discount. Customers who use a Walmart MoneyCard or Walmart credit card will save 15 cents per gallon on their fuel purchase.
Gas will be discounted at more than 1,000 Murphy USA and Walmart gas stations located at Walmart Supercenters in participating states.
"It's a busy time for our customers. They are sending their kids back to school and planning for Labor Day travels, and the holidays are just around the corner. As gas prices get higher, these tasks get tougher," said Duncan Mac Naughton, chief merchandising and marketing officer for Walmart U.S. "We're here to help. Last year, we saved our customers nearly $60 million with the gas rollback program. This year, we're excited to provide an even bigger discount on fuel that will help them save more money when they need it the most."
Abbott's Humira gets support for expanded use
WASHINGTON — A panel of outside advisers to the Food and Drug Administration has backed wider use for Abbott Labs' rheumatoid arthritis drug, Humira, for treating a type of inflammatory bowel disease.
According to published reports, the panel voted 15-2 that the benefits of Humira outweighed the risks in treating ulcerative colitis. However, the panel asked Abbott to conduct more studies upon Humira's approval.
While it isn't required to do so, the FDA typically follows panel recommendations. According to reports, a final decision is expected by the end of the year.
According to reports, the drug would only be used in people battling moderate to severe ulcerative colitis who have not had success with other medicines. If approved for ulcerative colitis, the drug maker said that Humira would be the first biologic drug that people could inject themselves.
Last November, the FDA rejected Abbott's application for Humira in ulcerative colitis, asking for further information.
The blockbuster drug already is approved for six other conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease.

An artist's impression of the new ship lift facility at East Arm1:56
An artist's impression of the new ship lift facility at East Arm. Video: Supplied
DARWIN'S planned ship lift should be operational by mid 2021.
The Territory Government will put $100 million towards building the facility, which will allow industrial vessels to be serviced in the Top End rather than in Queensland or Western Australia.
Chief Minister Michael Gunner said it would help the Territory's case in enticing the Australian Defence Force to base its fleet of new patrol vessels in Darwin.
"We want to make sure we have the ability to sustain those here," he said.
Mr Gunner said he had been providing Defence Minister Marise Payne, Defence Industries Minister Christopher Pyne and Defence officials with regular updates about the ship lift's progress.
Defence is yet to announce where the new fleet of offshore patrol boats will be berthed.
"Any decision around berthing will be critical to sustainment. Having the ship lift facility here and the ability to sustain them here helps make that berthing decision, but that decision hasn't been made yet," Mr Gunner said. He said the ship lift would also help to support the oil and gas industry and the Territory's commercial fishing operators.
The common user facility will be developed through a public-private partnership between the Territory Government and the Paspaley Group.
A utilities commissioner will have oversight of the facility to ensure fair access to users.
Paspaley Group executive director James Paspaley said reaching a development agreement with the Government would allow the company to get started on the work needed to get the project off the ground.
"It means we start in earnest working on the design, the engineering and getting the environmentals under way so this project goes from early discussions to having something that is going to be able to lift ships and do the heavy work that Darwin needs to keep both our commercial sector as well as Defence and Border Force and the oil and gas sectors operating in the NT," Mr Paspaley said.

The Jungle Bungalows are luxurious individual suites adjoining a variety of enclosures throughout the property.

Today's cities cover only 2% of the planet's surface but hold 50% of the world's population. They also generate 80% of the global CO₂ emissions, and consume 75% of the energy. In less than 40 years, the percentage of city dwellers will jump to 70% — our younger generation will see the global urban population double within their lifetime. In both emerging and mature economies, such explosive growth presents challenges to our existing city infrastructures. However, opportunities exist to make cities much "smarter" when it comes to energy management.
What are Smart Cities?
Efficiency, livability, and sustainability represent the three qualities essential to a smart city. An efficient city leverages technologies such as infrastructure software and smart metering to integrate systems that traditionally operate as stand-alone silos. The more efficient these systems are (e.g., water, gas, electric, traffic, emergency services, waste disposal, security) the more attractive the city becomes as a place to live and work. As the city becomes more economically and socially sustainable it also becomes better able to compete for jobs, investment, and cultural development.
5-step practical approach to creating Smart Cities
Schneider Electric's 5-step methodology, as presented below, combines a bottom-up, systems-centric approach with top-down, data-driven actionable intelligence.
Step 1 : Setting the vision
A smart city cannot be developed by decree or by a single entity. Everyone — municipal governments, the private sector, and individual citizens — needs to develop a shared vision of their future city. Cities can then develop an integrated roadmap for realizing the vision and avoid the siloed approach that hinders more comprehensive, long-term improvement.
Step 2: Bringing in the right technology The quantity of available technologies is overwhelming. So where does one start? First, cities must prioritize their pain points, identifying which ones need immediate attention. Then an energy management partner such as Schneider Electric can draw on its expertise to find a solution that not only addresses the immediate problem but can be leveraged to solve other long-term challenges. Mumbai, India, for example, deployed a Schneider Electric traffic-control system to mitigate congestion. As a result, average traffic time within the city has decreased 12% — and traffic lights are consuming 85% less energy.
Step 3: Integrating the systems No matter what the technological solution, individual systems must be architected to capture and share data. Then that data must be analyzed to improve system performance. Gathering system data from the bottom up (from smart meters, for example), and then harnessing it for analysis from the top down (via software dashboards), enables cities to make informed decisions based on accurate data. In the end, the city's population benefits.
Step 4: Leveraging innovative business models Municipalities are concerned about how to pay for their Smart City vision. Innovative business models allow cities to fund improvements without shouldering the burden of a large up-front cash outlay. In Houston, Texas, for example, Schneider Electric leveraged an energy saving performance contract to retrofit 40 city buildings to become more energy efficient. Financial backers were able to recoup their investment from the $3 million the city saves annually in energy and water costs.
Step 5: Driving collaboration Successful smart cities are those who enlist technology and energy partners that work in a collaborative manner to build the most valuable long-term solutions. For example, Schneider Electric teamed up with Cisco to integrate Schneider's building management system (BMS) and Cisco's IT energy-monitoring solution at a large university in the United Kingdom. By extending the BMS to the IT domain, the campus realized incremental energy savings, reduced its carbon footprint, and hit its energy-reduction targets.
Cities are a complex web of interconnected systems, and each city faces its own unique set of challenges. No "one size fits all" blueprint of solutions exists. But by combining a bottom-up, system-centric approach with top-down, data-driven actionable intelligence, city planners can build more efficient, livable, and sustainable Smart Cities.

text: Hello and welcome to the Forum. Doris really is still a baby so I would keep her separate from your boy for another month or so to allow her to mature more. Adult rabbits do sometimes lunge at baby rabbits, even Mums do it to their babies. When she is a little bit older you will be able to try putting them together. There are other Members who have the same scenario as yourself so maybe they will be able to offer more advice.

I volunteer to announce b8 (now that I've caught up with my mail) but 1) My newsfeed is down indefinitely 2) I feel it would be more appropriate for someone who put significant effort in this beta to take some karma points by posting it. So, if someone else wants to grab the torch (which includes modifying the appropriate pages on apache.org, in my opinion) then announce your intention and go. If you're not already allowed to post to apache-announce I'll make sure you are.

CWD with Swollen Cheek
my mom has a Chinese Water Dragon named Nokuri that we've had for about 6 months. its suddenly developed swelling on the left side of its face. I've checked in the mouth, its clean and healthy looking except for a little bit of rub on the tip of its snout. its body is also getting an orange tint to it. its hands are covered in loose looking skin (like shedding skin) but its been like that since its last shed which was over a month ago.
I'm not sure when mom last changed out the UV light, only that its been several months and its one of those screw in bulbs. She cant afford to take it to the vet this month as things have come up preventing it.
it is a young dragon but has not shed in over a month.
I've been making sure it gets its calcium supplements on a regular basis for about a month now. it wasn't getting it consistently before that, getting it maybe twice to 3 times a month before I took over.
we have it on a mat for substrate as we don't want to risk impaction as it was eating its dirt when we had it on that. it gets 5-10 crickets a day, depending on the mood of the lizard. plus red wriggler worms. we keep the temp around 85-90 degrees on average, but the humidity is very low for a water dragon, at least in my opinion. nothing we do will make it stay humid in there. its at about 10-15% on average. its a 40 gallon aquarium setup.
think that covers everything I can think of

Probably rubbing his face on the glass its common in these animals. For loose skin I'd give warm baths and his cage should have some rough things to help like plants,vines,branches,rocks. The uvb should be a reptisun and change very 6 months. He should also has calcium dust with D3 and under tank heaters aren't handy they just need basking bulbs. Also vary the diet give other bugs and spray the cage or get a fogger so it'll get to 80% because 10-15% humidity is extremely low and he'll have some serious health issues. The warm side 88°F with a 90°F basking spot with a cool end of 75°F. I wouldn't be too concerned if he hasn't shedded over a month. But start building/buy his permanent enclosure.

thank you for the suggestions.
after doing some reading on this forum I was able to confirm that he is a male lizard.
not sure what kinds of other bugs we want to give him. right now he's just got crickets and red wriggler worms. we're attempting to breed our own crickets but not going so well. I know superworms bite, hard . . . . and he refuses to eat them. ignores pretty much any kind of wormy critter with legs, really. don't really want to bring roaches into the house, one of those gets loose and my mom would probably freak out. any suggestions for varying the diet though would be appreciated.
even if its just changing up what the crickets get. they are currently on an orange colored cricket food we get at the local Petco that supposedly is good for gut-loading them plus keeping the crickets hydrated.
Going to talk to my dad sometime over the holidays about the upgrades for the little guy, if I remember, but I'm having surgery tomorrow so we'll see if I'm focused enough after getting home.
He builds things as a hobby so I might be able to get him to build us a lizard setup big enough. is Melamine a good material to use for their setups? want to make sure we get the right kinds of materials. I know that Melamine coated wood is pretty resilient to water getting on it, but not sure how it would do as the primary material of a lizard enclosure.
I couldn't get the pictures on the cage setup page to load yesterday, so I'll check there again and see if its working yet to get some ideas, too.

Melamine is okay for an outter coating but also deteriorate quickly under hot and humid conditions I found out. There is other bugs like waxworms, hornworms(scary as hell....to me at least),moths,etc... I don't give superworms or mealworms, they are really hard and not nutritious. Crickets are hard to breed and annoying so I don't include in their diet but I feed my insects things at home like veggie,fruits,bread,oatmeal, etc....

If you can stay away from particle board or composite board.
Even in my greatest attempts to stave off water, it finds its way. I am in a constant battle over over saturation and humidity levels. Were I to do it again, which I will, I would recommend sealing all wood and then caulking all seams. Then I would mount glass in my soil/ land area to prevent water seeping into under cabinet. Making an aquarium for than land area in basic terms. I have battled humidity off an on. My enclosure hasn't suffered, but it's a hassle. Next time I am also putting fans in my under cabinet to circulate air to prevent any mold from any occasional water seepage.
I have SO much to learn. HAHAHA!

Factors to Consider During Cloud Testing
It is not easy to get cloud testing right. There are a number of things that need to be strictly followed to ensure that the process is successful. You need to clearly identify the goals of cloud testing needs. The role of cloud testing services is to deliver non-functional testing techniques so as to determine software's parameters. However, there are a number of key factors to be considered when carrying cloud testing.
Proper attention to mobile is another factor that should be considered for cloud testing process. Most people tend to use mobile for browsing purposes, and therefore companies should think of developing mobile-friendly websites and apps. Load generation software tools stimulate peak loads.
User behavior patterns should be considered for cloud testing process. Behavior patterns involve the activities that people spend most of their time on, what their expectations of the app are and technological constraints involved.
Testing of transactions should be considered in testing cloud performance. Apps should meet any surge in traffic so that there is a possibility of retention of customer loyalty. Every user patch should undergo cloud testing.
Trial runs should be done for cloud test performance to make sure that all configurations, logs, and connectivity are according to the requirements and in order. During the cloud test run, it is crucial that a plan for the test run is created, so that involved parties are aware of their tasks and roles during the process.
Cloud testing is a crucial process for software. It involves many people carrying out different procedures during the process to make it successful and very reliable. Stakeholders, the business team, infrastructure team and more all have to join hands and put heads together so that cloud testing is done thoroughly.

A TWO-DAY-OLD baby died after his mother apparently fell asleep after breast feeding him in a maternity unit, an inquest heard yesterday.
Journalist Lisa Salmon, 36, told the hearing how she was registered blind at the time of the birth of her son Conor, and had hardly slept for three days when she was left alone with the baby to feed him in bed.
She told the coroner that Conor had not taken easily to breast feeding in the conventional sitting position and a midwife at the hospital had shown her another technique in which she and the baby lay down together at Leeds General Infirmary.
Ms Salmon said she did not recollect falling asleep after feeding Conor but accepted from hospital records that she must have done for about a hour and 40 minutes.
She said she recalls checking Conor and starting to panic when she could get no reaction from him.
He was taken to a special unit and put on a ventilator but was pronounced dead later that day, on February 1, 2002, after Ms Salmon and her partner, sports reporter Mark Walker, decided to turn the machine off.
Conor had been born healthy on January 30, weighing 7lbs and 6oz.
Ms Salmon told the hearing in Leeds she remembered feeding Conor using the new technique after the midwife had put him in bed with her.
She said she found the lying down method much more successful.
"I thought how comfortable it was," she said, "But I didn't make any decision to go to sleep. I just wanted to stay with my baby like that because it was lovely and comfortable and hold him a bit."
Asked by her solicitor Ruth Bundey if she made a conscious decision to sleep with her baby she replied, "I wouldn't have done that."
Ms Bundey then asked her: "When you look back can you envisage any possibility of contact between your body and Conor?"
Ms Salmon replied, "No. But I was so tired that I can't discount the possibility I could have moved in my sleep a little bit."
The court heard how Ms Salmon, who is now pregnant again, was registered blind at the time of Conor's birth following a horrific car accident a year before.
Ms Salmon told the court she could make out light and dark and could just about tell if there was someone in the room with her but no more. She said she had breast fed Conor using "touch and feel".
Home Office pathologist Professor Helen Whitwell told the inquest in Leeds that Conor died due to the starvation of oxygen to his brain.
She said that given the circumstances, the most likely explanation was "overlying" by Ms Salmon.
Prof Whitwell, who is Professor of Forensic Pathology at Sheffield University, said there had been a large increase in cases of "co-sleeping" deaths in the last 10 years - especially related to carers falling asleep on sofas. But, when pressed by the West Yorkshire coroner David Hinchliff, she agreed she had never come across a case in a teaching hospital maternity unit.
Asked about the possibility of "cot death" or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, she said this was becoming less common and usually referred to situations where young babies, typically two to three-months- old died unexpectedly when left alone asleep.
Later, health care assistant at the maternity unit Karen Lapping told the inquest how she showed Ms Salmon the laying down breast feeding technique saying it was a "quite normal procedure". She said she had assumed Ms Salmon would have been able to put Conor back into his crib by herself despite her sight problems.
The crib was clipped to the side of the bed, the hearing has heard.
But Ms Salmon's community midwife Catherine Hayton said advice given to women in the Leeds area about "co-sleeping" with their babies while breast feeding had changed pending the outcome of this hearing about Conor.
She said, "We do not encourage mums to sleep with their babies.
"Instead they should sit out in chair or in bed with somebody watching."
Another midwife at Leeds General Infirmary, Catherine Speed, who was the first to come to Conor's aid, said, "In most cases mums are advised against feeding babies in bed."
The inquest, which is expected to last for four days, was adjourned until today.

Most business owners are very sympathetic to their staff members' obligations to their families and generally except that emergencies arise which may require an employee to leave the workplace. However, it can be very frustrating when this arises at a busy time or frequently over a short period. In a recent case, an employee who left work to pick up her son from school was disciplined and demoted resulting in her resignation. The court found this was breach of the employer's obligations and awarded $32,130.78 in compensation.
On 8 December 2011 a friend who usually picked up the employee's son could not make it and the employee was unable to organise someone else to pick up her son. She informed her manager she needed to leave work early; her manager later refused permission. Without anyone else to pick up her son the employee left work early.
The next day the employee received a formal warning stating she had abandoned her responsibilities. Shortly after the employee was told she would be transferred to another store further away from her home in a lower position but on the same pay. The employee said it was difficult for her to work further away because she was pregnant. Nevertheless she was transferred and felt she was forced to resign.
The Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth) protects employees from adverse action by their employer for a protected reason. An example of an adverse action is dismissal or demotion and an example of a protected reason would be family responsibilities or if someone has a workplace right.
The employee's obligation to ensure her son was picked up from school was a family or carer's responsibility under the Act. The employee also had a workplace right to take paid or unpaid personal/carer's leave due to an unexpected emergency – the need to collect a primary school child from school. Denying the request for personal/carer's leave and issuing the employee with a warning for leaving work to pick up her son was adverse action.
On this basis the employer contravened the Act and compensation of $32,130.78 was ordered.

MovieLabs Specifications for
Next Generation of Video and
Enhanced Content Protection
Technologies for the distribution, playback and display of video content are evolving rapidly. These technologies offer the opportunity to distribute content that is visually richer, more engaging and available through more distribution models on an ever-expanding range of devices.
At the same time, the technologies for protecting content against illegal use are also developing at a rapid pace, and some current content protection systems have weaknesses that have been exploited placing them in need of renewal.
Distributing content that can take advantage of these new technologies will necessitate the creation of new content distribution formats, both physical and digital. It will also involve significant investment by content providers and distributors that could be jeopardized by infringement. To facilitate the development and deployment of new formats, MovieLabs has drafted a pair of high-level specifications defining the key feature sets that can serve as the basis for new standards and individual studio requirements for content distribution formats and platforms.
Two documents are included here. The first, "MovieLabs Specification for Next Generation Video," covers the important video features. The second, "MovieLabs Specification for Enhanced Content Protection," covers the content protection features. These documents are intended solely as a guide for companies interested in developing products, which can be compatible with other products. Each member company of MovieLabs shall decide independently the extent to which it will utilize, or require adherence to, these specifications.
