Little Moments
I had the privilege of photographing this cute little miracle baby the other week. Looking at her now, you'd never guess that she could fit into the palm of your hand 7 months ago!
Life is full of gifts, challenges, surprises, and miracles.
Aumtumn & These Kids
There's just something so fresh and clean about autumn. The leaves changing color, sipping hot cocoa from a mug, the crisp and chilly air, breaking out my boot collection…I can go on!
Another thing I have to share: I. Love. My. JOB!
Getting to whip out my camera to take pictures of cute kids on a gorgeous autumn day? I'll take that any day.
These pictures speak for themselves. If Zara Kids was looking for children models, I'd send in these pictures as proof that these kids have the spunk and natural way of posing. Seriously. My job was like 90% taken care of thanks to these kids!

Title: Pricks and Pragmatism
Author: JL Merrow
Publisher: Self Published
Buy link: Amazon.com (Second Edition)
Genre: Contemporary M/M Romance
Length: Novella / 50 pages
Rating: 4.25 out of 5
A guest review by Kassa
Easy come, easy go…until the heart gets involved.
English student and aspiring journalist Luke Corbin should be studying. Instead he's facing homelessness, thanks to the lover who's just kicking him out of their posh digs. It's not his first rejection—his father tossed him out at age sixteen—but Luke has no problem trading his favors for a home and security. Especially with rich, powerful, handsome men.
Except now, with finals bearing down, there's no time to be choosy. He needs a roof over his head and he needs it now. Even if it means settling temporarily for a geeky, less-than-well-off chemical engineer called Russell.
Luke's fully prepared to put out for the guy—because after all, in this world no one gets something for nothing. But Russell isn't just a nerd; he's an honourable nerd who wants to save himself for someone special.
At first Luke is annoyed, but the more time he spends with Russell, the closer he comes to a devastating realization. He wants to be that someone special. Except he's fallen for the one man he can't seem to charm…
Pricks and Pragmatism is a delightful and absorbing read. It's just a quick novella – 50 pages – but it's worth reading. The writing is clever, sly, and witty with a lot of quick one-liners and classic characters. The tension and conflict plays off obvious and exaggerated tropes but that doesn't diminish the entertainment factor. Luke will warm your heart while Russell is adorable as geek. They don't stretch beyond their pre-determined boxes but the strong writing makes this worthwhile reading.
Luke is an English major that manages to support himself by finding rich men to support him in exchange for sex and companionship. He's an easy going guy that can cook and loves sex so he doesn't have much trouble finding a new man to land with and is always calm and appreciative when he's told to go. When his last man asks him to leave a mere three weeks before finals, Luke ends up with Russell. Russell is not his type – a geeky engineer who's still a virgin at 30 – but not only that, Russell doesn't let Luke pay his way with sex. Instead the two develop a friendship which may turn into something else if only both men can admit their feelings.
The story relies on some classic tropes that are a stretch but not so much it'll affect your enjoyment. For starters Luke is an affable, handsome young man that never has trouble finding a new man to house and feed him for as long as the sex remains good between them. He's desperate to be loved and wanted but is convinced no one ever will so he's constantly quick to jump to the conclusion he's being told to leave. To his credit, it's often true but this defense mechanism causes the most conflict and tension between him and Russell. For Russell's side he's a thirty year old virgin, which I can't imagine he couldn't find –anyone- in all that time that he liked enough to have sex. Russell isn't really socially backward or unattractive so I wish that hadn't been so exaggerated. Yet he's a solid, warm hearted man that wants to help Luke with no ulterior motive.
The two are an interesting pair in that not quite opposites attract way. The attraction is there at the start but deepens as their friendship becomes something real. This is where the story really shines in how Russell becomes more attractive to Luke the more time they spend together. Luke realizes he appreciates Russell's sense of humor, the laugh lines around his eyes, and other small details and slowly falls in love. It's not immediate and not based on sex at all, but instead shared interests and deepening emotion. There is conflict of course because Luke believes Russell doesn't want him and Russell figures Luke will leave him for the next handsome man so of course that takes the course of the story to figure out and end happily.
The writing and quick wit displayed throughout in addition to the solid characters makes the story simply fun to read. There are numerous touches of humor and dry wit that come across, mostly in Luke's thoughts, but they keep the story engaging and entertaining even if the story may be predictable and familiar. An example of one of the many quips offered is where early on Luke tries to seduce Russell thinking that working out naked may attract Russell and keep them on an even footing, but of course that doesn't happen.
"Well, that went well," I muttered to my cock, which had optimistically jumped up when I did. All pumped up with nowhere to go. I took it for a shower and gave it a few strokes to make it feel better, but it wasn't fooled. It knew it was just my hand tugging on it. (pg. 19)
For a quick novella, the story just delivers. It's a familiar one that readers have read before but still works due to the fresh writing and good characterization. I think it'll be a big hit with romance fans.

There is no arguing that Eger has a long tradition of wine
making but it is impossible to ascertain exactly when vines were first
cultivated in the region.
Archaeological findings on the side of Nagy Eged Hill, however, preserve the memory: a paleo-vine variety dating from 30 million years ago known as Vitis Hungaricus. Naturally this does not resemble present-day vine varieties too much; nevertheless it suggests a plant with a great past.
It is therefore possible to state with some certainty that vines were under cultivation in the Eger region even before the time of the Hungarian Conquest of the Carpathian Basin.
Harvest in the vineyards of Eger
Though historical records do not give the exact date of the beginnings of vine-growing around Eger, they nevertheless imply that clearings of the hillsides around the town were already covered with extensive vineyards in the 11th century.
The chronicles describe a flourishing wine culture by the time of the beginning of the 13th century.
This is due to the organisational work done by the Bishopric of Eger, founded by Stephen I (St. Stephen, the first king of Hungary).
Monastic orders coming in with the establishment of the Bishopric, such as the Cistercian order, which came to Hungary from Clervaux from the affiliated church of Citeaux of Burgundy and which was a leader in the development and dissemination of new agrarian techniques, may have brought vine stalks with them intending to establish cultivation in their new home.
Monks were followed by French, German and Italian settlers brought in to increase the population of the area who added their own experience of agriculture, and in particular vine-growing, to the local traditions.
Medieval Eger
Walloon settlers invited by King Béla IV after the Mongolian invasion of Hungary had a particularly important role since they not only increased the planting of vines but also introduced new methods of farming, vine dressing and wine production.
The storing of wine in barrels instead of the earlier wine-skins, for instance, is linked with the Walloons.
The cellars of Eger and of its neighbouring areas were created out of a need to store the wine coming from the produce of the steadily increasing vineyards.
The need to solve the issue of storing wine was especially important for the Church, that is, the Bishopric and the Chapter, since they had to deal not only with the wine coming from their own estates but also with the tithe which was demanded from all local vine-growers by royal decree.
The first such cellar of the Bishopric built for the storing of wine coming from the tithe could be found in the palace of the bishop, which was housed in the castle of Eger in the period from the 11th to the 13th century.
The Archiepiscopal Wine Cellar
Over the course of centuries the town lending its name to the region developed into an important ecclesiastical centre and vine-growing and wine-making played an increasingly significant role in its life.
By the 16th century there were extensive vineyards in the neighbouring villages around Eger, which relegated all other agricultural activities into the background.
This period was the first golden age of wine culture in the Eger region which was eventually disrupted by the Turkish occupation in the wake of the loss of Eger castle in 1596.
This is the first installment of the story of wine making in Eger, if you wish to read the later sections then they are as follows

Consider a directed graph $D(n)$ whose vertex set $V$ consists of the integers $1,2,\dots,n$, and whose edge set $E$ consists of ordered pairs of integers $(i,j)$ whenever $i < j$. In other words, there is a directed edge from $i$ to $j$ if and only if $i < j$. For example, the figure below shows $D(5).$
a. In $D(n)$, a path from $1$ to $n$ is described by a sequence of vertices $v1,v2,...,v_k$ where $v_1= 1$, $v_i< v_{i+1}$ for $i = 1,\dots,k − 1$, and $v_k= n$. For $D(5)$ above, please list all the paths from $1$ to $5$. (There should be $8$ of them.)
b. Suppose $P = v_1,v_2,\dots,v_k$ is a $1$-to-$n$ path in $D(n)$. Let $f(P) = \{v2,\dots,v_{k−1}\}$. For example, for $D(5)$, $f(1,2,4,5) = \{2,4\}$. Please explain why $f$ is one-to-one.
c. Next, explain why $f$ is onto.
d. From b and c, we conclude that $f$ is a bijection. What then does this imply about the number of $1$-to-$n$ paths in $D(n)$? (Note: your answer here should be a generalization of your answer in (a).)
Any ideas or hint or ... ?

The Indian rupee closed at 66.89 to the US dollar on Monday, a loss of 19 paise amid sustained selling by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) and falling stock markets. The fall comes even as the $25 billion Foreign Currency Non-Repatriable (FCNR) deposit redemption kicks-in, triggering large outflows. Further, FIIs ended up as net sellers of Indian equities worth Rs 456 crore on Monday.
The stock markets closed lower despite select index stocks ended with gains. The BSE Sensex shed 143 points to end at 27,529, while the NSE Nifty closed 63 points lower at 8,520.
The biggest Sensex gainer was ICICI Bank, which closed 6.91 per cent higher at Rs 258.55.
Top Sensex losers included Mahindra, Hero Motocorp and Asian Paints while Nifty losers included Zee Entertainment Enterprises, Bosch and Idea Cellular.
There were seven advances and 43 declines on the NSE Nifty.
The rupee's volatile movement would continue for some time due to both domestic and global headwinds.
"As redemptions of FCNR occupy the centre-stage of demand-supply dynamics domestically, investors' risk aversion globally is likely to keep the environment for rupee challenging," rating agency India Ratings and Research said in a note on Monday.
It may be recalled that the country's foreign exchange reserves fell $4.3 billion during the week ended October 7. Though the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) did not explain the sharp decline, analysts attributed it to the redemption programme entailing outgo of about $25 billion.
The worries of any major impact on the domestic currency are unfounded, according to Standard Chartered Bank analyst.
"It is a complicated story on the FCNR B including rupee liquidity and dollar liquidity, but by itself it should not cause any too much of a concern on the market," The Co-Head of Wholesale Banking- South Asia, Standard Chartered Bank, told CNBC-TV18.

The Celebrity Martini Glass Auction was founded to fulfill a simple mission: making a difference through the power of art!
The CMGA benefits nonprofit organizations who support veterans by raising funds at the annual Celebrity Martini Glass Auction. This unique event features a roster of martini glasses that are autographed by celebrities or American heroes and then designed by noted artists in keeping with the personality and accomplishments of the signer. These works of art are then sold at an exciting live auction to benefit the Veterans Support Fund.
The Veterans Support Fund, established in 2018 by the Celebrity Martini Glass Auction (CMGA) in partnership with the Community Foundation of Collier County, assesses and distributes funds to Collier County charities creatively meeting the physical, emotional, psychological and social needs of veterans. Please consider making a donation!

At that time, nobody thought the IPL would become so big. I was nervous at that time, because suddenly I was in an uncomfortable spot.

Better to burn out than to fade away, eh?
Ripped In Glasgow was initially planned as a year long project, and this seems to be the perfect place to put a full stop on it. It's been an amazing ride from the word go and I've fuckin LOVED digging out all the old records again.
There might be the occasional future post, such as a Conemelt video that's in the pipeline, and the occasional live set or radio rip so it's maybe worth keeping me in your RSS feed or whatever. I can't keep up with this (almost) daily posting though - I've got other plans for 2010.
When I started up I was hoping for maybe 100 hits or so a day, didn't think there would be much demand for 15yr old dance records but there you go - I've been averaging 1500 for the last few months which has been insane.
a HUGE thanks to the acts who have supplied me with material - PWOG, Corridor, Conemelt, Optimo, Ivan Smagghe - who'd have thought THAT would happen? Also, anyone who has ever sent me a link to other stuff, honourable mentions to the Sabres Peel Session and the PWOG tape amongst various DJ sets - you people are too good. In fact, here's one which popped in yesterday just to say 'cheerio', a Two Lone Swordsmen set from the Tiny/Further Reminders period recorded off the radio from the Voodoo, Liverpool (thanks Mark - he's even hosting it for you).
Apologies to Andrew Weatherall for ripping off a huge chunk of your back catalogue and attributing your name to a fictitious Russ Abbot remix but that's rock'n'roll I guess (and bizarrely one of my biggest 'hits').
Finally, thanks to anyone who has ever left a comment - believe me, it makes blogging much more fun when there's a bit of interaction with you lot.
So - not dead, only sleeping and will wake occasionally for a different type of blogging - who knows what's round the corner...
Happy New Year when it comes...
PS - I'll keep the links live for as long as it takes - if there are any dead ones just leave a comment and I'll re-up as necessary.
PPS - both the torrents over on the left are now WORKING again just in case anyone's after them.

Book a Live Performance
If you'd like to book Chrysanthe for a live performance, you may do so as a solo artist or as part of Duo Meranti. Please peruse the three main options below.
Duo Meranti is a classical violin-guitar duo comprised of Sean Hayward and Chrysanthe Tan. Formed in 2013, this duo has performed widely throughout the state, premiered new works, and embraces experimental, Balkan, and improvisatory influences. Sean and Chrysanthe plan to release their first album of entirely new commissioned music in 2017.
Duo Meranti would love to set the mood at your upcoming wedding, holiday party, cocktail hour, corporate event, anniversary dinner, private serenade, wine tasting, open house, ceremony, or any other occasion you can that would benefit from the beautiful sound of the violin and guitar.
Sample musical selections include arrangements of standard classical pieces, Spanish music, Balkan music, oldies tunes, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, movie themes, folk songs, and contemporary pop. Please let us know if you have a special request!
Duo Meranti offers house concerts free of charge to any host who is willing to provide a nice space and sizable audience of their own friends & family. We only request that the host passes around a donation jar after the concert. Intimate house concerts are some of our absolute favorite performances, as they allow us to connect in a deep way with our audience. They are always truly magical nights. If you're interested in hosting a house concert, please send an inquiry by clicking below.
Stories live
Stories Live is an immersive chamber music experience featuring the music from Chrysanthe Tan's Stories album. The live act features a dynamic string trio, pianist, electronic playback elements, and optional multimedia. Blankets, pillows, and journals are highly encouraged! We aim for this to be an inspiring, creativity-inducing show.
If you are interested in booking Stories Live, please send an inquiry proposing a date range, venue, and any other details you may have.
NOTE: If you or your ensemble is interested in performing Stories, sheet music is available here. Let me know if you end up putting on a performance, as I'd love to plug your show!
If you have other booking inquiries in mind (public recitals, university concert, tours, string trio events, speaking/guest engagements), please contact Chrysanthe here.

Medical Uniforms Determine The Image Of The Healthcare Facility
When misfortune strikes in the form of diseases or accidents then we head straight for the best medical facility available closest to us. The medical staffs have the complete confidence and faith of the patient and the patient's family. In such a scenario it is the medical professional's responsibility to uphold the perfect image which will inspire that kind of confidence. The image of the staff is determined to quite an extent by the kind of uniforms worn by them and the way they carry themselves. Often we associate the image of a strict professional in white medical uniforms when we think of doctors and nurses. However the stores offering medical uniforms have set out to change this common perception forever.
Medical uniforms are now not only available in select stores but also on the internet. A number of websites specialize in the sale of medical uniforms for all categories of staff. The material used to make the uniforms is such that it can easily absorb sweat and any kind of bad odor that may be common to a hospital. Most medical uniforms are wrinkle free in nature so that the staff wearing it does not look disheveled at the end of a long working day. The styles and designs for the medical uniforms have also undergone a sea of change and now it is no longer just the buttoned up style that is in use. A medical staff could easily select medical uniforms that have a trendy yet formal look to make them feel good and look good on the job.
Most medical uniforms are available in a range of sober colors that gel with the formal hospital environment. A garish red would look out of place in a hospital but a soothing pink or lemon yellow would be pleasing to the eyes of a patient who is recuperating in the nursing home. Similarly the stores offering medical uniforms ensure that the entire range is available in a number of sizes so that the wearer does not have to be inconvenienced and go in for size adjustments. Also a staff working in different wards can select a uniform that reflects the nature of care provided to the patients. As for example a nurse working in a ward dealing with critical patients would do well to choose very light shades while a staff assigned to the children's ward could wear colorful and bright uniforms to cheer up her young patients.
The main objective to be kept in mind while selecting the medical uniforms is the comfort of the wearer. As the medical staff usually spends long hours at work and in case of emergencies the staff often spends overtime at their workplace. In such cases it is crucial that the uniforms be comfortable for such work. Most of the sites offer discounts on bulk purchase and the buyer can take advantage of this offer. So if you have decided to purchase medical uniforms then the online sites may be a good place to shop.

Watch: Bruce Springsteen, Arcade Fire, Tom Morello, More Do "This Land Is Your Land" at SXSW
E Street Band joined by guest stars for Woody Guthrie cover finale
Photo by Danny Clinch
Yesterday, Bruce Springsteen took over SXSW, speaking about "the meaning of music" for the conference's keynote address and performing with the E Street Band at the Moody Theater. The set closed with a cover of Woody Guthrie's ever-ironic classic "This Land Is Your Land" with help from Arcade Fire's Régine Chassagne and Win and Will Butler, Tom Morello, Alejandro Escovedo, the Low Anthem,
, and more. (Note: Eric Burdon does not appear. Joe Ely does.) Consequence of Sound has video. Check out all of our SXSW 2012 coverage here. Eric Burdon of the Animals

Aside from an uncanny ability to collect crumbs, coins, and all other bits and pieces that might fall from the hands and pockets of the average lounger, the conventional sleeper-sofa can be a thorn in the side of the modern furniture world. For starters, the size and weight is enough to call the movers, as the average weight of a three-seater is over 300 pounds, while a five- piece sectional can weigh upwards of 1200 pounds! Just look at this Craigslist ad:
Here are some quick reasons why choosing a futon package is an all-around better solution:
Customizable: Futons offer an endless array of sizes, finishes and arm styles. When ordering a futon, you aren't just choosing an all-in-one piece of furniture. With wooden frames, you can select between a wide variety of types, such as bi-fold, tri-fold, and Savannah sofa bed.
Once you have your frame, you can choose your level of comfort with a futon mattress that fits perfectly.
Add the infinite selection of machine-washable mattress covers that are out there, and there's practically no limit to the designs you can make.
Convenient: Futons are far lighter and far less bulky than conventional sofas. The average weight of most of our wooden frames is around 50 pounds, and many futon mattresses are only slightly heavier. In order to transform your lounger into a bed, you certainly won't need to throw the cushions aside to play "Tug of War" with a flimsy spring mattress. Many of our futon frames feature simple mechanisms that convert the frame from sofa to sleeper in one fell swoop.
Right to Your Door: In the past, it would have been crazy to suggest the idea of using only two hands to order and set up an sofa bed, all from the comfort of your home. But with futon frames and mattresses, you don't need a pickup truck and a team of people. The packaging and assembly of all our futon products are tailored for a one-man job. Thanks to futons, it's never been easier to customize your home furniture without ever leaving your home.
Now all you'll have to worry about is getting rid of that old, creepy sofa you're sitting on right now.

I love this photo. I'm in Tampa and I hope to have a gigantic company and the ability to take my board members skiing in the Alps, all the while making it a deduction to the company. This post explains how I would do just that.
You should deduct every cent of travelling, hotel, and food associated with any board meeting or meeting of the managers. Lots of people don't take advantage of this. It takes a little planning but can be worth it in the end.
Lets begin briefly with the basics. You can deduct ordinary and necessary expenses from your businesses income. What is ordinary? It's everything that's not extra-ordinary. For instance, buying a truck for 99% of tax payers is extra-ordinary, it's not something you do often. But, Ford may purchase from its subsidiaries thousands of trucks, and therefore it would be ordinary. So, it's fact dependent. If it's extra-ordinary and necessary, then it will be amortized and depreciated over time. Whether or not something is necessary, is also up for grabs, but let's not get silly. We know our Ferrari is usually not necessary but, if you're a high-end broker and all your clients have Ferraris, you just might need one to fit in. I'm just saying, you can't exactly stroll up in a Pinto to Tampa Palms and expect to be taken seriously. Nonetheless, board meetings are always ordinary and necessary but, that doesn't stop the IRS from balking at the deduction. So here are some rules for deducting your week-long, Paris board meeting.

My 4 Step Process To Creating A Strong Brand
Creating a strong brand is about building a visual concept and executing it consistently. Today's post is going to show you how I outline the process of creating those visuals, so let's start off with a basic overview of the design/branding process. In it's most basic form, it goes something like this:
collect info → process it → translate it → review + revise → repeat
Over the lifetime of creating a brand identity, you'll have different objectives that you apply this process to:
This is where the client onboards the designer and provides the information needed to establish the premise of his/her business, but it's up to you as the designer to draw out the right information. You could say that this step is actually the true brand development - everything else is just visuals created from that brand message!
As I said, as the designer it's your job to draw out the right info. Your clients aren't always going to know the correct thing to tell you or the most productive/efficient way to think about things, which is why you need some tools in place to help your client along (I like to make this part of the process easy for my client by having him/her answer my 3 part questionnaire and utilizing Pinterest to gather inspiration images).
After the client returns their "homework", I like to make separate notes of things that stand out to me and seem important to the brand. Then I check in with the client to make sure I'm processing it correctly. Asking very specific questions about the business's mission, target customer and business model helps make sure I'm on the right track.
For example: "So, based off of your questionnaire answers, your target audience is primarily made up of edgy 20-32 year old women who love eating healthy and making an effort to live an active lifestyle. You want to become a resource to these women via your upbeat and detailed blog posts, personalized consultations and one-on-one training sessions - is this correct?"
Reviewing the information you've collected and processed with your client helps ensure that everyone is on the same page and can help move the project along.
Once you nail down your client's goals and objectives, you can use imagery to start building the visual components that reflect that mission, which is also a regular part of my client homework. I like to implement an inspiration board to reference throughout my projects to make sure I'm staying on track with the visuals.
After creating the initial board I like to check my brand notes and ask the client for feedback. Usually just making a small change here or there can totally transform the feel of the inspiration board and really open up the doorway to creating the visuals needed in the next step of my process.
And now we finally get to the part that most people think of when they hear the words "brand identity"! We all know by now though that this can only be started after the grunt work of collecting information and going through a couple rounds of processing and asking for feedback has happened.
For this part of the design process I personally like to get away from my computer, which is something I think is SO important for graphic designers to do (more on that for another day). I usually spend anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours just sketching out logo ideas. I look at my brand notes and reflect on the inspiration board too, but I spend most of this time just playing around with lettering and shapes, then eventually start building out digital versions on my computer.
When approaching my clients with initial logo ideas I think it's important to offer a few different distinct concepts, making sure they all lend themselves to the business's mission and vibe. Again, after presenting I'm looking for specific feedback so that I can process and make revisions accordingly. It's even more important to get the right kind of feedback at this point so that you aren't spending countless hours making tiny changes, only for it to still not feel right to your client.
After the questionnaire, brand notes, inspiration board and primary logo have been approved, it's time to create the supplemental assets! These include brand colors, fonts, icons, patterns, secondary logos, etc. You'll want to incorporate client feedback and approval for all of these items as well, then move on to the website and other marketing collateral which - you guessed it - will also go through the review / revise process until it's perfect!
You already know how important it is to have a clear focus and relevant visuals for a brand, but what do you do after you have the mission statement, logo and brand colors picked out? You put that brand identity to work for you!
You incorporate it into your website, your facebook page and your business cards. You incorporate it into how you write your blog posts, how you respond to emails, your email signature, your about page text, your about page photo, your instagram photos, your instagram captions, your tweets, how you style your contracts and invoices, your blog sidebar, your newsletters, so on and so forth. You filter everything you do through that brand message and identity.

Hello, How to keep only certain cookies and delete all other history/browsing content when Firefox is closed? Thanks
I cannot figure out how to keep only certain chosen cookies and delete all others, plus delete the cache and all history upon closing Firefox. Can this be done without using an add-on? Thanks

Thanks for the reply cor-el. After a restart some cookies that haven't been given allow exceptions are still there, is that the expected behaviour? My intention is to have all cookies, except the ones I specify, be auto deleted each time Firefox is closed. Do I need an add-on for this? Thanks
If you keep tabs open when you close Firefox then its cookies are retained in sessionstore.jsonlz4 as part of the session data if that is what you use.

Interesting...I nearly always close the tabs before closing FF and definately did close them first when experimenting before posting earlier. I do have 'browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab' set to false, not sure if that makes a difference or not. I'm on version 69.0.1 (64-bit) on MX-Linux & I don't see a sessionstore file anywhere in my profile folder. There is a sessionstore-backup folder that contains 2 files named recovery, one has a jsonlz4 extension.

Couldn't get it to work correctly so decided not to waste anymore time on it & installed the Cookie Quick Manager add-on. It does the job ok.

Question on the application of the Social Security Family Maximum
Here's my situation:
At 66 I filed and suspended my social security benefits.
I have a 15 year old daughter at home.
Currently, my wife is receiving a Social Security benefit for a "child in care" and my daughter is receiving a benefit as well. My understanding is that my daughter will continue to receive her benefit until she is 18 and my wife will receive her "child in care" benefit until my daughter is 16.
My question is, if I decide to take my benefits before I turn 70, do the "spousal child care" and "child under age 18" disappear?
It is likely that most, but not all, of these "auxiliary" benefits would go away if you filed for your Social Security benefits. This is due to the family benefit maximum which limits the amount of benefits that can be paid on one person's record ( a range of 150-180% of that individual's full retirement age benefit amount). For an in-depth understanding of this rule I'd recommend reading the information on the Social Security's website that discusses this. Here's a quick summary.
Currently, your spouse is receiving 50% of your full retirement age benefit (also called your PIA) as a "child in care spousal benefit." She will continue to receive this until your daughter turns 16.
Your daughter is also receiving 50% of your full retirement age benefit and will continue to do so until she turns 18 (generally–see Benefits For Your Children for more information).
When you file at age 70 you will be receiving 132% or your full retirement age benefit (due to the effect of delayed retirement credits). This means that since the maximum total range is 150%-180%, there will only be somewhere between 18% – 48% of your full retirement age benefit that can be paid out to a spouse or child.
If you situation, this will almost be a non-issue since the payment to your spouse for the child in care benefit will expire shortly before you turn 70.
A note for all readers.
I love Social Security questions! I'll answer them privately as time allows, but if I think the answer will benefit a wide audience, I'll also publish them on my blog. Don't worry, I'll change up enough personal details so you'll stay unknown. Send your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you need individual and specific help, I'm always available for a consultation.

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Roy Halladay has picked up another prestigious award. The Phillies ace has been honored with the John Wanamaker Athletic Award.
The decision to honor was a no-brainer for the Philadelphia Sports Congress, which showed highlights of Halladay's first season in Philadelphia.
A league-leading 21 wins, a perfect game, the Cy Young award and a no-hitter in the playoffs. Ever the competitor, Halladay had to point out the missing clip, which would be celebrating a World Series title.
He joins such luminaries asand the 2008 World Champion Phillies, all past winners of the Wanamaker Award.
"Looking at the list of previous recipients of the award, I'm honored to be mentioned with those names. People who represent Philadelphia, not only recently, but this has been a long tradition of outstanding winners and it is truly humbling for me to be named with those athletes and those teams."
Halladay also thanked his legion of fans for their support.
"There's no greater place in the world for me than to be right here in Philadelhpia and playing for this team. Thank you."

I was aware of Melty Kiss and had seen it around but had never bought it. This box of Green Tea Melty Kiss is a seasonal flavour, meaning it won't be around forever. The kanji (chinese characters) refer to it as 濃抹茶 which translated to English means "rich green tea".
I am not such a fan of Green Tea as a drink, but I love it in chocolate and sweets. This Melty Kiss was no exception.
|Not exactly how it's meant to look but whatever, it tasted good!
When I opened the wrapper I couldn't really smell anything but when I placed the (somewhat melted in transit) chocolate into my mouth I immediately tasted the bitter dark chocolate coating mixed in with the rich green tea, a match made in heaven! I could really taste the bitterness of the green tea too but it gave the chocolate depth and I was really sad it ended that I immediately opened another one! Hubby really liked this too, even though he's not really a fan of Green Tea either!
So I thoroughly recommend this one to you. There are 14 individually wrapped chocolates in the box so there are plenty to share with friends!

Cost Behavior Over Time and Relevant Range
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Consider the following:
Within this year your property taxes on your commercial building are not likely to change, and as such they are considered fixed; yet with a simple change in operating periods - to include up to a few years, these are more than likely to flux. (In one year the tax level on the property is a fixed cost, but usually it changes year over year.)
If we were to have the ability to shorten reporting periods, let's say to around a week, or longer, for around five years which would you choose, and why? How would this affect your calculations on items such as break even projections and contribution margin?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 9, 2019, 11:27 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Because of the variations caused by economic cycles, I think that one week is not representative of a business's true financial condition or operations. For example, the week's activity may present an unusually glum picture of the business because the business may be unusually slow during that week because the company's business is seasonal and that week is not within the selling season (e.g., a surfboard factory in January), or because a holiday falls during that week so most people are not buying the goods or services that company sells. Likewise, the week may represent a high point for the company's sales (e.g., a beachfront resort during Labor Day Weekend), so the week may present an ...
Solution Summary
This solution discusses cost behavior (i.e., fixed or variable) as viewed over time rather than within a relevant range of activity at a specific point of time. It extends that discussion to the effect of time on determining the break-even point and contribution margin.

Mass Evening Lottery numbers
The Massachusetts State Lottery was established by the legislature in 1971, in response to the need for revenues for the 351 cities and towns of the Commonwealth.
The Lottery began with sales of tickets for its original weekly drawing called The Game in March 1972. Then in May 1974, Massachusetts introduced a game that would revolutionize the lottery industry in the United States. The Instant Game was the first scratch ticket, with a top instant prize of $10, 000. There were also three monthly drawings in the Instant Game, for $100, 000 and $1, 000 a year for life.
Today, the Lottery introduces 24-28 new instant games each year and is a national leader in sales.
The Lottery also offers a variety of on-line, or computerized, games including: The Numbers Game, Megabucks, Mass Cash, CASH WinFall, KENO, and the multi-state Mega Millions game.
To provide an operating structure for the Lottery, the Legislature established a five-member commission that includes the State Treasurer as Chairperson, the Secretary of Public Safety, the State Comptroller, and two gubernatorial appointees.
The Commissioners oversee and provide final approval of the types of games, the consumer prices of games, the prize structure of games, the methods of prize payment, and the licensing of agents.

It is not fat we should worry about; it is sugar. Our increased sugar consumption has led to an obesity epidemic, which is increasing the prevalence in diabetes, heart attacks and choked arteries. We expect the food and beverages industry to be faced with volume declines of their sugary products as consumers start looking for healthier alternatives.
For a long time, our diet consisted of dairy, meat, seasonal fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains. This changed towards the end of the 18th century when potatoes were added to the poor man's diet and sugar and white flour products became widely available due to new inventions. All three - potatoes, sugar and white flour products - are rich in sugar and poor in other nutrients.
In the 20th century food industrialization made previously manmade products, such as cheese, jams and butter, available at reasonable prices. The increasing consumption of industrialized carbohydrates and sugar speeded up after the Second World with the invention of fast food and the advance of packaged foods like prefab soups and sauces.
Following the heart attack of US president Eisenhower in 1955, Ancel Keys, an American nutritionist, recommended to stop smoking and cut down on fat and cholesterol, as eating cholesterol would increase the cholesterol levels in the blood, causing heart attacks and coronary thrombosis. The idea that eating fat makes you fat was programmed into the American mindset.
The Brit John Yudkin, however, stated that cholesterol is produced in the liver and made from sugar in the blood. Eating fat does not make you fat. Your body breaks down the fat you eat into sugar. In his book Pure, White and Deadly, Yudkin describes that humans have always been carnivores. We only started eating carbohydrates like bread 10,000 years ago and pure sugar 300 years ago. This is too short for evolution to adjust our digestion. Keys won the public debate by claiming that Yudkin was writing propaganda for the meat and dairy industries.
Based on the work of Keys, the US updated their Dietary Guidelines in 1980: consumers should cut back on saturated fats and cholesterol. The packaged food industry had to list the ingredients on each food item according to seven new food groups. Unlike fat, sugar was not one of them, so companies were not obliged to list the amount of sugar. This was the start of the low-fat revolution. Almost all packaged food items got a light version, in which fat was mostly replaced by more sugar.
US consumers massively replaced steaks with pasta, butter with margarine and milk with orange juice. The effect on their health was devastating. Other Western countries followed suit.
Sugar or glucose is one of the key fuels for our body. Consuming it therefore feels like adding fuel to the fire. However, our human body is very well equipped to extract glucose out of almost anything we eat.
The quick fix for our energy levels are carbohydrates: they contain large amounts of sugar and are mostly easy to digest as they do not contain large amounts of fibers for which we need the help from our intestinal flora. Proteins like meat and dairy products take more time to increase our blood sugar level. Fat is by far the slowest ingredient for our body to transform into glucose.
If your blood sugar level becomes too high or too low, the insulin hormone triggers the body to take sugar out of the blood stream and the liver starts to produce fat out of the surplus of glucose. It is the overload of sugar in your blood that makes you fat, not necessarily the amount of fat you eat.
Eating too many calories combined with eating the wrong ones has led to an epidemic outbreak of obesity in the US, triggering a spur of chronic diseases. So far no court in the world has ruled that the food industry has any responsibility. It is therefore up to the consumers themselves to lower their sugar intake. Although it is hard to find data it seems that in the Western markets our sugar intake has peaked.
The more sugar's potential harm gets known by the general public, the more the food and beverages industry can be named and shamed. This might lead to slower or even negative volume growth and will most definitely lead to lower stock multiples.
The food and beverages industry's situation is quite comparable to the tobacco industry in 2000. Science already knew for a long time that smoking caused serious health problems; but it took until 2000 for a jury verdict in Florida to grant a class action by roughly 100,000 smokers the huge amount of USD 145 billion.
This was a major wake-up call. Ever since, selling tobacco products has been highly restricted, heavily taxed and marketing cigarettes has almost entirely been banned. The number of smokers has dropped from over 40% in the 1970s to 18% today. Nevertheless, stocks of tobacco companies have been performing very well. Since 2000, the tobacco sector has gained 750%, or 13.4% per year, versus 85% for the world index, or 3.7% per year. The sector massively consolidated, cut costs and was able to increase prices along with ever increasing taxes.
Until the food and beverages industry gets a similar wake-up call , we expect volume declines in their sugary products as consumers will be seeking for healthier alternatives. The industry is aware of this and has been buying up companies that provide healthy alternatives. The recent bid of Danone on Whitewave is just the beginning.

Kelsey Krach, Baltimore City Health Department
Kelsey's Fellowship:
Kelsey is the Communications and Policy Fellow at the Baltimore City Health Department. She works on a range of communication projects to implement new media techniques to better engage the BCHD's public health goals.
Kelsey is from Baltimore and has lived there for most of her life, apart from some stints abroad. While thinking globally and acting locally, she enjoys serving her community and finding ways to help others. She has volunteered with numerous non-profits focused on community development as well as human rights and immigration policy in Baltimore and Washington, DC.
After finishing her BA in Cultural Anthropology at UMBC, Kelsey worked at Girl Scouts of Central Maryland. Once realizing that her passion lay with combining her interest in communications (design, media), business, and policy, she set of to IE Business School in Madrid, Spain to study a Master in Visual and Digital Media.
When she isn't off exploring the world, you are likely to find Kelsey in her kitchen creating a new recipe, going for a run, playing with her dogs, laughing and dancing, or photographing something beautiful. Most recently, she started a health and lifestyle blog focused on a special autoimmune diet to help inspire and support others taking control of their health.
Why do you choose to live and work in Baltimore?
I chose to return to Baltimore because I felt a strong desire to be in the area where I grew up in order to give back to these communities while both learning and following my career interest in communications, policy, and health. Where is better to work than the place you happen to know best? I look forward to the opportunity to engage people in my community better understand public health.
What's one surprising fact about yourself?
I've lived abroad in Ecuador as well as Spain and I speak (nearly fluent) Spanish.

Smart phones and tablet computers are extending the reach of mobile computing solutions in the enterprise. There are many reasons for this including CPU performance, new operating systems choices, size and availability. However, the most obvious reason is device cost as compared to traditional ruggedized mobile computing options. While the initial acquisition cost of a consumer device is often 1/3 to ½ the price of a ruggedized device, this is only one piece of the true cost over the solution's life. When evaluating device cost there are a number of factors that should be considered including:
Additional protective peripherals: Consumer devices are not designed to take a fall. As such, many enterprises purchase cases, holsters and other peripherals to protect the device from the elements and abuse.
Device life cycle: Consumer devices typically experience a 12 to 18 months life cycle before they are replaced by a newer device. While this business model works well for individuals pursuing the latest and greatest technology, it can present challenges to an enterprise. These challenges are manifested by the requirement to support multiple device types over the duration of a project. This translates to increased user training, additional complexity associated with supporting and managing larger equipment spare pools, additional burden on the help desk and the requirement to manage multiple technologies as new features are released with each new device.
Operating system upgrades and support: Like consumer devices, consumer operating systems are continually evolving and new versions being released. Some device manufactures mandate that all devices upgrade to the latest OS while others discontinue support for previous versions. This can create havoc on a population of devices used for enterprise applications as changes to the OS often require modifications to the applications that run on the devices. As such, with each new OS release, the application software must be tested and modified to ensure that the new OS does not render the application inoperable. This requires that additional software testing and development resources be deployed prior to each OS upgrade.
Repair verses replacement: While some consumer device manufactures offer extended warranty programs they usually do not include damage to the display (which accounts for the greatest number of failures). As such, most users of consumer devices simply replace damaged devices. For this reason, it is important to understand all of the environmental and usage conditions in your operation so that you can take into account the cost of replacement devices.
In the final analysis: The good news is that after reviewing the preceding factors, consumer devices are a good fit for many enterprise solutions and that in those cases were they are not, you have many choices available from traditional ruggedized device manufactures.
