Ah! Love! Isn't it grand? Have you ever been'in love'? Sure you have! Most of us has had the all consuming enthusiasms and needs for that special someone. I keep in mind feeling weak at the knees as far back as primary school, but alas! It did not end well and there have actually been some fails in the affairs of the heart since that point, including the not so frivolous object of marriage. Yes, I let it get up until now as the weddings before understanding that perhaps those alarm bells were planned for me, and'Mr. Right' turned out not to be not so special after all.

Rather of being upset or bitter about the scenario, think of it as a chance to begin over once again.

Now is an excellent time to accept alcohol abuse counselor if there may be some sort of underlying root of the dependency.
A Place To speak To Many Others
Some teenagers have strong negative feelings originating from grief and loss, and may get involved in risk-taking activities in the effort to leave their discomfort, like alcohol addiction counseling, reckless sex, and antisocial behaviors. These actions can have disastrous repercussions such as addiction, disease, pregnancy, mishap and legal problems.
In the 1980s I never ever believed to report his pushing me off the sofa to the authorities for abuse. Like so numerous ladies back then, I took it and believed that maybe I deserved it. Perhaps I wasn't deserving of his love.
There are lots of cases in which the accusation of a DUI criminal activity is unjustified and unreasonable. It is particularly in Tennessee that district attorneys are quite callous, and they would do anything to see you in prison. They are government-funded and have endless resources to do so. This is why it is so essential to employ the very best legal representative you can find that deals with DUI cases in Tennessee. After all, every state has varied laws concerning DUI. Finding a great Knoxville DUI lawyer might be the secret to your flexibility. She or he could either lessen the effects of things such as prison court, time, and alcohol counseling fines.

Mod Squad Challenge is having a new challenge this week to make a peek-a-boo card. This is my take on that challenge.
I used the rose background paper from my stash. The rose on the white cardstock was die cut from a Hero Arts die, which allows the background paper to show through. Hello is a Heidi Swapp stamp, and was stamped in Delicata Goldenglitz ink, as is the spatter stamps (The Angel Company). I used Nuvo Crystal Drops for the dew drops.
A quick and easy card to make. Hope you enjoy.

Market Numbers 21st March 2014, Budget Comment plus Headlines
The key take aways from this year's Chancellor's Budget on Wednesday were effectively increased ISA allowances (the normal increase at 6th April followed by a further increase to £15,000 for a combined cash and/or equities ISA allowance with effect from July this year) and a change to the way people can access their pension funds (this latter announcement is yet to be fleshed out but effectively halts the requirement for most people to buy a "Compulsory Purchase Annuity" with their pension fund(s) at point of retirement).
Business investment received a helping hand with further incentives announced and the personal allowance of income earned before being subject to tax was raised to £10,500.
Comments that the personal allowance should be raised to match the minimum wage – £13,000 – are not without basis and credibility. Nevertheless, setting aside political posturing and the usual "hunt for the loopholes", the general consensus appears to be that this Budget, with it's far reaching pension reform, is well received. Of course more can be done – for example the 20% VAT rate, whereby another fifth of the cost of a thing is added to the bill, for the lower paid who just about cover their expenditure with any income earned is effectively a full 20% "income tax" with no personal allowance – it could be argued that some mechanism should be found to return this but perhaps this would be too costly to the Treasury at this stage in our economic recovery.
Pensions "will have never had it so good" – by allowing people to access their hard earned pension funds with relatively little restriction, Chancellor Osborne has created a new breed of pensioner who will now have the freedom to choose how to finance retirement that best suits their own situation. There will be many in the Annuity Business who will have thrown their hands up in horror as they saw their pretty much guaranteed way of life swept away as a result of this one single announcement.
BUT sensible people who are serious about managing their money will also have realised that with this new found freedom comes a degree of risk and they would do well to get independent financial advice from a suitably qualified professional – Of course I would advocate a CHARTERED FINANCIAL PLANNER such as SEWELLBRYDENGUNN (www.3sbg.net), but then I would, wouldn't I ?!
There are many financial planning assumptions and opportunities which will now need further exploration once the detail of the Budget has been fleshed out.
The FTSE 100 closed at 6557.17 +29.28 points +0.45% on previous weeks close 6527.89
+164.41 points +2.57% against a year ago at 6392.76
"In House", we regard the FTSE 100 index as being somewhat volatile so that direct comparison with more balanced or cautiously constructed portfolios will not always give an appropriate result although reviewing the index is useful as a general guide to market activity in the larger capitalised market.
Sectors which performed well over the last week include:
Basic Materials (Chemicals, Forestry & Paper, Mining and Industrial Metals & Mining), which closed at 5276.44 +1.4% on the week
Industrials (including Engineering, Aerospace, Electrical and Support services), which closed at 4540.01 +1.4% on the week
Utilities (Electricity, Gas Water & Multi utilities), which closed at 8585.23 +1.8% on the week.
Life Insurance/Assurance (within Financials) took a hit, closing at 7024.30 -2.9% on the week following the Budget Announcement about pensions and annuities.
Brent Crude closed at 106.92 (last week 108.57)
Bank of England Base (Repo) Rate at 0.50% (since 05/03/2009)
One Pound GBP buys 1.6628 USD and 1.1941 EUROS
A PERSONAL VIEW : by Neil A Sewell: Copper price declines recently have been noticeable despite no obvious signs of disruption to supply or demand. China has tended to dominate the copper market so it is reasonable to leap to the conclusion that copper stocks languishing in Chinese warehouses point to an easing of demand which is possibly caused by a change in China's internal credit market. Copper has been used as collateral for credit deals in the past which may well have impacted (up) recent historic copper pricing. Now the signs may be there that perhaps the frequency of such deals is on the wain and the resulting demand for copper is too….(Neil Sewell writes "these are my own views and not those of SewellBrydenGunn nor of SCM Finance)

confirmation of a microsoft online music store comes at a time when federal and state participants in the microsoft anti-trust settlement have criticized the company for providing a "shop for music online" feature within the windows operating system. the link currently directs consumers to a website of preferred online music vendors chosen by microsoft. that link could potentially be updated to direct users to a new msn music store.
microsoft also faces possible penalties from the european union in regards to its bundling of windows media player within the windows operating system.
read more on this topic at cnet and in the upi article.
brian's opinion
well, this move is not very surprising. i would have been shocked if microsoft did stay out of the online music business. microsoft can very easily use its marketshare and brand recognition to launch a very popular online music site. many record companies would jump at the chance to get their labels in front of the millions of microsoft users.
microsoft's motivation for opening its own music store may be the same reason state and federal regulators will be opposed to it. i have to say it probably wasn't very good timing to confirm plans for a microsoft music store. with the members of the anti-trust settlement questioning the "shop for music online" link and the eu having issues with windows media player being bundled with windows, microsoft may have added fuel to the raging anti-trust inferno.
the company probably should have waited until these anti-trust issues were cleared up before announcing its music store. now the u.s. courts and the eu will probably take pre-emptive action to avoid possible anti-trust abuse in the future which could be caused by the msn music store. of course, microsoft could have simply chosen to fight this battle now in order to avoid one when the store is opened.

ap wire – in a press release anticipated for some time by market analysts, microsoft (msft) announced today that it will be selling its own brand of medical supplies. the flagship product is the highly anticipated new enema codenamed "fatpipe".
"i think this is a great opportunity for us to bring a quality product to our customers while letting advertising revenue bear some of the cost. in today's highly competitive medical setting, this is a win-win situation for everyone involved." says company spokesman i.m. alair.
when asked about the choice of "fatpipe" as the flagship product, he stated "it just seems like an obvious choice to everyone involved. microsoft has become very proficient at these types of products. or track record has proven that"….

this is not simply about microsoft, but the fact that they are such strong supporters is a bad thing for computer users and the free world in general.
the latest windows service packs have placed digital rights management functionality on your computers already. i haven't read the eula to know whether this was clarified, but i doubt anyone paid too much attention.
we must start paying attention to these things. as long as we are content to accept this draconian crap, we are going to lose freedoms left and right!!
an earlier post was absolutely correct in stating "don't buy!!"

|your right innovation. computers (12:01pm est tue nov 18 2003)
are starting to be a little bit of a pain sometimes.unless you know what you are doing, you'll be in trouble.
if you miss 60 minuites. you'll be in for a surprise as andy roony talks about why computers are screwed up.
|and here it is… (12:22pm est tue nov 18 2003)
why computer are bad.
"one day about 10 years ago, the door to my office opened and in walked bill gates. i knew his name but really didn't know much about him.
he seemed like a nice guy, and he's done
someone screwed up the way computers work and i blame it on him. people like to think that loveable old andy rooney still uses this 1920 underwood typewriter.
well, sorry to disappoint you, but he doesn't. i wrote eight books on that and thousands of television scripts, but i've written on a computer for several years now.
it's a great tool for a writer-
actually, i've written on a lot of computers. i had one typewriter for 50 years, but i've bought seven computers in six years. i suppose that's why bill gates is rich and underwood is out of buisness.
they make computers so you have to buy a new one whenever there's a full moon. if my underwood had been a computer, i'd have had to buy a new one every time i needed a new ribbon because bill gates would have designed new ribbons so they didn't fit last year's typewriter.
the thing you press to turn on the power on some of my old computers is in a different place on each one of them. you reach around in the back to turn on one computer. one is on the left side. and another one is on the top, on the right." – by john
|john (12:38pm est tue nov 18 2003)
your underwood is a fine way to type a letter, but it can't do the most important things that computers can: play games and surf porn – by stinky pete
|andy rooney continues… (12:40pm est tue nov 18 2003)
"bill gates got off on the wrong foot the first time he decided to turn off his computer. do you simply press a button that says off when you want to turn it off? you do not. the first thing he had us do to stop is to press start. makes sense, doesn't it?
next, it asks shut down?
then it says what do you want it to do? well, didn't i just tell you what i want it to do? it isn't finished either. it asks shut down the computer? what the hell else do you think i want it to shut down? the bedroom window?
computers aren't nice to us. my typewriter never threatned me with a prison sentence by saying i have performed a illegal operation.
when i want to write something, the computer demands a password. in all the years i wrote on my typewriter, it never asked for a password, and no one else stole anything i wrote either.
all i can say is it's a good thing bill gates didn't invent television. if it took as long to start up a television setas it takes to start up a computer, you'd need two hours to watch 60 minutes."
and there you have it.
if you still want to use a computer, please be careful and know what you are doing.
thank you for your time. – by john
|resistance is futile (1:19pm est tue nov 18 2003)
you will be assimilated.
we've simply got to stop buying m$ proprietary / bloatware / drm technology.
if more games were written for linux i'd replace xp on all my home computers.

|game consoles and tivos (1:54pm est tue nov 18 2003)
as open source operating systems mature, they would eventually become a user friendly alternative to the novice consumer.
imagine game consoles and personal video recorders (tivo-like systems) morphing into low-end personal computers, returning to their roots.
well, windows media has little to do with game consoles but xbox sure does. if home entertainment becomes dependent upon the windows media format, microsoft could maintain yet another proprietary barrier to entry to protect its personal computing monopoly.
at least with apple, its a small player and really only tends to support an ipod advantage (not terribly sustainable i might add).
napster, mtv, wal-mart, the others, well. steve jobs offered us an insightful point, earnings suck for the music download provider. unless this services induces sales of other, profitable products/services, good feakin luck! i wonder what wal-mart has up its sleeves?
interesting how napster didn't cause much of a splash until its service actually came out. has mtv and walmarts come out yet? but microsoft, announces something to come out sometime in the middle (?) of next year? that's going to squash one or more players without m$ selling a single song@! – by eirik

|itunes response (2:06pm est tue nov 18 2003)
now that m$ has made it official. apple, though it has an advantage, and potentially a sustainable spoiler position, perhaps apple ought to license operability (not immediately) to other portable players. apple would get maybe $5 per unit sold by other portables manufacturers so that their portables could work with itunes. lower this barrier just enough while still getting some $$$ out of it, you grow a larger base for m$ to have to overcome. it can be done is quicken still a good example? while this poorly thought out idea may not be the winner, apple will have to do something to fight off the coming invasion. – by eirik
|re: itunes response (2:53pm est tue nov 18 2003)
online music service are not profitable, yet. apple says they will consider it a good year if the itunes music service breaks even. it is ipod sales apple is more concerned with.
but what is it that m$ concerned with? they don't have a pod. their x-box is even a money loser. why would m$ start a non-profitable music download business? – by phoenix8603
|m$'s concern (6:48pm est tue nov 18 2003)
"but what is it that m$ concerned with?"
one word – money. if they're lucky they'll break even on the actual sales of the songs (as steve jobs can attest – all revenue from online music sales goes back to the record labels). m$ stands to make money selling wma drm licenses.

Have you ever written and deleted something a dozen times before committing? That's how this intro came to be, and I'm sure James Shotwell can attest to that as well. As a fellow writer who founded Under The Gun Review, but has since moved on to being the Digital Marketing Coordinator for Haulix – he knows the power of the written word and I'm sure is familiar with drafting something up over and over again. Because again, that's how this started out. That's because the topic I am grateful James was willing to talk about today is not an easy one.
This week is about death and James has not lost a family member by blood, but instead a friend he met in college who came to be less than a friend and more of a brother. Not all of us are lucky enough to find a friend like that in life, but James was. Sadly though, his brother from another mother Justin passed away a couple of years ago now, and the following explores the day James found out, his outlook on death and more.
Kendra: Can you please describe the exact moment you found out your friend had passed away?
James Shotwell: A description for something like this is hard because, at least for me, the memory of this event is a blur of images and color. It's a series of brief moments with a pain in your chest you never thought was possible because you only feel it when another soul you consider close to your own shuffles off the mortal coil and into whatever follows. I can tell you I was seated in a 2PM press screening for a movie whose name I don't remember at the AMC theater next to Boston Common in downtown Boston on November 10, 2014. I felt my phone vibrate in the minutes before the movie was supposed to start and something told me I should look at the message (even though we're not supposed to have our phones on). I looked down, staring at the glowing screen nestled between my legs, and saw a text from my friend Justin's mother that said along the lines of, "Justin is slipping away. The doctors say it won't be long now."
I remember getting up, my eyes already shrink-wrapped with tears, and stumbling out of the auditorium. I made it about a hundred feet, maybe less, before collapsing on a bench outside a theater auditorium where a showing of Gone Girl was just letting out. I called my mom first, or maybe it was my fiancé (Lisa). I couldn't tell you the conversation in detail, but I remember telling them both I wasn't ready to say goodbye while fighting back as many tears as I could. I also remember thinking that the people leaving the theater probably thought I was having a very strong reaction to David Fincher's latest film, but that thought was my mind's way of trying to focus on anything except the painful truth that I was over seven hours away from my best friend and the chances I could make it to him before he passed were very low. Even if I could make it, I couldn't drive in my condition.
Kendra: You two were more like family than friends. How long had you known one another and what brought you two together?
James: Justin and I met shortly after we both entered college at Ferris State University. We were in different dorms and different programs, but our paths crossed when Justin was promoting an upcoming Atreyu concert in Detroit on campus. We did not attend the show together, but we found each other in the crowd by chance, and from that night forward we were inseparable. I'm an only child, so I had never known the closeness of siblings before meeting Justin. He, like me, was from a small town where he was the only person who liked the crazy music and films he felt a fierce connection to, and it was our mutual love of pop culture references, Atreyu, Chiodos, and the films of Kevin Smith that served as the glue that sealed our friendship as something stronger than any other relationship we had with our peers.
When I got into music writing and launched my own site, Justin helped me create content despite having no journalistic aspirations of his own. He's the entire reason I got into film criticism, which today is my main focus outside the work I do for Haulix. I wouldn't be who I am today had I not met him, or at least I wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as I am.
Kendra: When he passed, did it make you sit and rethink your own life at all like – fuck, I need to start anew, move, do something more? I mean you were already pretty accomplished at the time, but still – anything like that go through your mind?
James: Justin knew me better than anyone else, and I think in some ways he got me as I didn't get myself. He knew my first instinct when presented with his passing would be to run or hide, so he tried to minimize that by giving me something to do. He asked me months before he passed to accept the responsibility of notifying our friends from around the country/world of the new before they learned of his passing via social media. Within half an hour of knowing he was gone, just as I finally caught my breath, I started making calls. I must have called two dozen people, many of whom I hadn't actually spoken to in months, and I told them everything that had transpired. I also told them of Justin's love for them and the memories of their time together he would tell me. I heard the shock and sadness hit them each, one by one, and I wept with them as we accepted the facts we wished were not true. By the time I ran out of numbers I felt a connection to the people in my life and his I don't think I would have turned to otherwise, and I'll forever be grateful for that. It was probably the hardest thing I have ever had to do, but it was also one of the most rewarding. Justin loved many, and he was loved by them all in return. To be entrenched in that love, even for a few hours, was a feeling unlike any other I have known in my near three decades on this planet.
Kendra: Do you feel each generation views death differently?
James: Not really. I think the way different generations view philosophy and religion in relation to death changes, but even that is pretty infrequent. Death is the one constant, and that has always been true. We can have all the technology in the world and be as digitally connected to one another as that technology allows, but none of it can make the pain and finality of death any less painful on those left to live with the knowledge their loved one is no longer walking among us. That void we tell ourselves social media helps fill is proven false the minute someone dies, and that's okay because we need to feel that pain and emptiness in order to better appreciate those who remain among us and our connection to them.
Kendra: Have you done anything to sort of honor your friend since he's passed; road trip, tattoo, anything like that?
James: Justin was cremated, and his family was nice enough to send some of his ashes to me in Boston a few months after his memorial service. After thinking of what would be both fitting and in line with our relationship I decided to take my share of his remains to Spofford Lake in New Hampshire. I had never been there previously, nor had Justin, but after learning it was the same place where our favorite comedian, George Carlin, had his ashes spread – something about it felt entirely fitting. Justin and I were the only two people we knew who loved Carlin's work for the longest time (until I met my soon to be wife), and the idea of releasing him into the same bit of nature where George was released is something I know he would have appreciated.
Kendra: Do you believe we're ever really prepared to lose a loved one at our age, any age for that matter?
James: No. My dad's father is still alive, but recently he had a major health scare out of the blue. He thankfully pulled through, but my mom told me when they first learned of him being sent to the hospital my dad told her he was scared "the end" was near. My dad is 51, and by all accounts he has a had a good relationship with his dad his entire life. That's far more years together than most people are able to have with the parents, and for my dad it still isn't enough. He would gladly have another 51 if he could, and I know I hope to have another 70 or so with him. That's a dream for both of us that we know is next to impossible, but we cling to the hope some kind of grace befalls us because we know the people who made us are something special we cannot find anywhere else on this planet. We never have enough time with those we love. Never.

1900's: Fritz at Hulk Hogan's
Around 1995 Fritz moved to Florida. While living in Clearwater he joined a disco retro band called SUPERFREAK. Lynda and I went to see them more than once when we were down here-they wer e fantastic. Tate Thibideaux was in the band (and remains a friend of ours-he now lives in Key West). Tate was the half brother to the Keith Tibedeaux, who played Little Ricky Ricardo on the Lucille Ball Show and was Opie's best friend on "Andy of Mayberry". Tate's dad was the publicist for Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. In the picture Tate is standing to the left of Hulk Hogan. All the guys wore big fake Afro wigs in the band and dressed in the disco glitter of the time period. This is a picture of when Superfreak played at Hulk Hogan's house.

Welcome to glrh, llc
Great Lakes Rubber and Hydraulics is no longer doing business. GLRH, LLC was formed to handle the management of the building at 220 East Wallace in Fort Wayne, IN. We have since sold the building. It currently houses Three Rivers Distillery.
The primary purpose of this site is to direct Great Lakes Rubber customers to Carper Farm Supply.
I have been fortunate to have worked with BB Design as a freelance website coder on several projects in the last several years. (Don't worry they didn't design this site--their sites look great!) After a recent project was completed, I attempted to log in to my free quoting and invoicing product only to find that it was no longer available. I was able to send out my invoices without the help of the missing site, but in the meantime I decided to attempt to build a billing application of my own, while experimenting with MODX, Bootstrap and anything else that catches my attention.
Some of the sites I've had the opportunity to work on for BB Design are: Ambulance Billing Services, Elder's Country Store and Market, Jerry M Frese,and Our Lady Mother of Mercy
One of these projects was developed on MODX, and I was very impressed. So impressed that I am using this site to become familiar with all its features and capabilities.
Are you looking for Great Lakes Rubber?
We are no longer selling industrial supplies or doing business as Great Lakes Rubber & Hydraulics Company Inc. We want to thank our many customers for supporting us all these years
All of our remaining merchandise was sold to Carper Farm Supply in Ashley, Indiana. They are the largest agricultural dealer in Stueben county, and they have expanded their industrial supply offering to include many of the products we used to sell. They also are using our old 800 number: 800-348-3648. Please visit their website, or give them a call and talk to Eric or Brad. Tell 'em Kurt sent you.

In "Go Ahead, Invade Their Phone Records: AP Reports Obama Has 'Alleged Scandals' and 'Alleged Misbehavior,'" Tim Graham at NewsBusters noted how Tom Raum at the Associated Press, aka the Administration's Press, claimed that "Alleged misbehavior by the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies gives the GOP something else to talk about and investigate as the economy clearly, if slowly, recovers on President Barack Obama's watch, robbing Republicans of a central argument against Democrats."
That this is an exercise in sheer fantasy on Raum's part can be quickly demonstrated in two graphics.
The first shows how the economy's current seasonally adjusted unemployment rate compares to the past 29 years:
Excluding months during the second half of the most recent recession, all but one of which occurred on Obama's watch, the economy's unemployment rate of has only been higher than 7.5 percent twice during the past 29 years: in 1992, for five months, and in the first four months of 1984, as the economy was recovering from recessions caused by the policies of Jimmy Carter and the pre-Paul Volcker Federal Reerve -- and that's before considering other measurements such as the employment-population ratio which are at 30-year lows.
The second chart compares Obama administration's unemployment-rate promises against its delivery:
If President Obama's 2009-2010 stimulus had achieved what it promised, the unemployment rate would be about 5.5 percent right now . It didn't. It still hasn't. Unemployment is two points above its predicted level, and is also well above where Obama's economic geniuses predicted it would be if we had done nothing.
Raum claims that "a series of recent positive economic reports" support his clear recovery assertion. Actually, they're running about 50-50, possibly a bit to the positive side, but not by much.
And here's the crazy part: Recent stock market behavior indicates that even a hint at a decision by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to cut back on the artificial stimulus known as quantitative easing will trigger a serious and possibly even panicky sell-off. So if the economy clearly improves, there's a built-in mechanism which promises to ruin much of the good feeling.
Nice try, Tom Raum. No sale. This economy is historically mediocre, harming millions of people who need jobs, and isn't getting better at anything resembling a satisfactory rate.

Accreditation statuses reviewed by Council on Education
Tuskegee University School of Veterinary Medicine has been moved from limited to full accreditation until 2013. The decision, made by the AVMA Council on Education March 2-4 at AVMA headquarters in Schaumburg, Ill., was based on a focused site visit in December 2008.
According to an April 9 Tuskegee press release, the school was commended for its efforts in increasing the small animal and equine caseloads, implementing year-round clinical rotations, achieving higher pass rate scores for the national licensing examination, and committing to a diverse student body.
Five other U.S. schools were granted seven years of full accreditation after comprehensive site visit evaluations in fall 2008 and spring 2009. Twenty-two schools or colleges of veterinary medicine received continued accreditation status on the basis of their 2008 interim reports. Among them were 13 from the United States, two from Canada, two from Australia, and one each from Ireland, Scotland, England, New Zealand, and the Netherlands.
In addition, the COE agreed to a request from the University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science in Brisbane, Australia, to begin the accreditation process. Staff will contact the school to request potential dates for a consultative site visit in 2010.
The council denied requests from the Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, St. Kitts, West Indies, and St. George's University School of Veterinary Medicine, Grenada, West Indies, to conduct comprehensive site visits. Consultative site visits were conducted at the schools in 2006 and 2007, respectively. Foreign colleges are granted comprehensive site visits when deficiencies noted during the consultative site visit have been fully addressed.

SAVE AS PDF Selected Topic Topic & Subtopics All Topics in Contents Share Explicit roles in CSM You can give both internal users and external users access to your instance. However, you might not want both types of users to have the same level of access. To provide added security, every user must have at least one role so that the instance can distinguish between internal and external users. External users must obtain, at minimum, the snc_external role. The snc_external role indicates that the user is external to your organization and should not have any access to resources unless explicitly allowed through ACLs for the snc_external role or additional roles. By default, users with the snc_external role are unable to access non-record type resources as well, such as processors and UI pages. Do not mark the snc_internal role as elevated. Otherwise, internal users cannot access the instance. Note: You can use encryption contexts with the snc_internal and snc_external roles. However, adding encryption contexts to more detailed roles is recommended. Explicit Roles plugin The Explicit Roles (com.glide.explicit_roles) plugin provides the snc_external and snc_internal roles. When this plugin is activated: All existing users are automatically assigned the snc_internal role. This role does not change existing access levels or system behavior. Rather, it provides a category to differentiate internal users from external users. All internal users maintain the same level of access as before the plugin was activated. Newly created users are automatically assigned the snc_internal role when they first attempt to log in to the instance, unless they have been explicitly assigned the snc_external role. You can add the snc_external role to a new user before they first log in to the instance to provide external user rights. Note: The snc_internal and snc_external roles can be added or removed at any time to change user rights. All existing ACLs that do not have a role requirement are automatically assigned the snc_internal role. Because both existing ACLs and roles are assigned the snc_internal role, existing access levels do not change. Newly created ACLs that do not have a role requirement are automatically assigned the snc_internal role. This role assignment does not apply to a newly created ACL with a role assigned. External users must obtain, at minimum, the snc_external role to access the instance. This role is automatically assigned to external Customer Service Portal contacts. If the Customer Service Portal is not activated, this role must be manually granted to external users. Access to records is granted through ACLs. Content Management System site access is also affected. CMS is set up with Sites (content_site), Pages (content_page), and other resources. Some of the sites may have the Login page configured. If CMS sites do not have the Login page configured, the public role is automatically added to the Read Roles field on Pages (content_page) if the field is empty. If CMS sites have the Login page configured, the snc_internal role is automatically added to the Read Roles field on Pages (content_page) if the field is empty. Note: This plugin also requires the Contextual Security plugin. Providing access to external users You can grant external users access to tables by creating a set of ACLs for the table. See Provide external users access to a table . Another approach you can take is to give all external users access to all tables, and then restrict access to specific tables. You can do this by adding the snc_external role to the * ACL that is of Type ui_page. The hasRoles() method The hasRoles() method is still available, but is deprecated in the Geneva release. Use the hasRole(role name) method instead. If you do use the hasRoles() method, note these changes: This method automatically excludes the default snc_internal role when it checks for roles. This means that if a user has only the snc_internal role, the hasRoles() method still returns false. If the user has the snc_external role, the method returns false because the instance considers external users to be without a role. Activate the Explicit Roles pluginYou must request activation of the Explicit Roles plugin.Provide external users access to a tableTo enable users with only the snc_external role to access the list view of a table, you must create a series of ACLs.

Sadness is a cancelled horror game that was in development by Polish video game developer Nibris for the Wii. Frontline Studios had previously signed a deal to co-produce Sadness. However, as of March 17 2007, the companies parted ways due to "artistic differences". Set in pre-WWI Eastern Europe, Sadness would have followed the story of Maria, a Victorian era aristocrat who has to protect her blind son Alexander after their train derails in the countryside. Their subsequent adventures were based on Slavic legends. [Info from Wikipedia]
After years of development issues, in February 2010 Sadness' website was closed and the game was officially cancelled, probably because they never found a publisher interested in the project.
Some music tracks created for the game were leaked online, as we can read on Polish Music Blog:
Polish game music blog Gramuzyka has come into possession of thirteen unreleased tracks by composer Arkadiusz Reikowski from Sadness , proving there was actual work done on the game. It seems this music was to be included in a demo version of the game that never saw the light of day.
Thanks to Unvaluablespace, Userdante, Andrew and Anonymous for the contributions!

Mount Gambier, South Australia, Australia
Crater Lakes of Mount Gambier offer ideal areas for recreational activities for the whole family.

By Pamela Johnson, August 2015
When life throws you a curve ball you readjust, but when you cannot readjust what do you do? Talk to your professor. In 2012, life threw me a curveball. I fell behind in my coursework due to hospitalization. I needed time to recuperate. I contacted my professor via email to report the unfortunate state of things. Sometimes, it may take as long as 48 hours to get a response from a professor, but I was contacted in less than 24 hours. When I was released, the professor was in contact with me to make sure I understood the missed assignments. I did not complete the class on time. Nevertheless, I eventually successfully completed the class.
Communicating with my professor was key because a problem existed that required advisement on the appropriate steps to take to complete the class without being penalized. Currently, I am working on my Capstone for graduation, and communication is still key. There are guidelines for writing and submitting the Capstone project. Two requirements are that the Capstone must be written in APA and it must adhere to OGS standards. I communicate with my professor to make edits to the project so that it aligns with APA style and OGS standards. I ask for guidance and input because she is knowledgeable about in the subject matter.
Sometimes life gets in the way of completing assignments, family matters arise, or things just do not go according to plan. Those times it is nice to have a back-up plan, but when your back up plan fails, and you have exhausted your resources, it is time to communicate with your professor because your professor holds the key to your success. Let's face it, we are all returning college students, have busy schedules and are trying to balance life against family, work, school, and community—we all need help sometimes. How will the faculty and success coaches know how to help or that you even need help unless you tell them?

An assumption implicit in the current thinking about electromagnetism is that only "naked" or un-neutralized charge is capable of producing or experiencing electromagnetic force. The participation of this excess charge in electromagnetism is thought to be quantified in discrete units of what is thought to be the amount of charge in one electron, or e. An interesting question is that; if the "naked" charges in or on some charged matter are completely free of any neutralization from charges of opposite sign, what is the force that holds them bound to matter? Why don't they just drift off into space? The only mechanism holding charges in, or attached to, matter, that we know of, is electromagnetic force or electromagnetic attraction. Charges that are subject to electromagnetic attraction by other charges however, must be partially neutralized by those other attracting charges which have opposite polarity from the charge being attracted. This suggests that "naked" charges are in reality, charges that are partially neutralized by other surrounding charges, and the extent of this neutralization may vary depending on the environment of the naked charge.
Hmm…… This does not seem right.

ARGOMENTI: Seminars
Giovedì 17 Marzo 2016 alle ore 15:00 in Aula 2BC30, Marco Corazza (Università Ca' Foscari) terrà un seminario del ciclo RoDeO on the Road dal titolo "Q-Learning and SARSA: Two intelligent approaches for financial trading".
The purpose of this contribution is to design an intelligent stochastic control system for optimizing the performances of a trading system. Two model-free machine learning algorithms based on Reinforcement Learning algorithms are considered: Q-Learning and SARSA. Both these models optimize their behaviors in real time on the basis of the reactions they get from the environment in which operate. The idea to use Reinforcement Learning tools for designing intelligent trading systems is based on a new emerging theory about the financial market efficiency: the Adaptive Market Hypothesis. We develop both the models for trading on single stock price time series. They use simple state variables and operate selecting an action among three possible ones: buy, sell, and stay out from the market. We perform different applications based on different parameter settings
which are checked on an artificial stock prices time series and on different daily real ones from the Italian stock market. Furthermore, performances are both gross and net of transaction costs.

So you think you know who's going to win the next general election? Think again!
Next year's election occurs within an almost uniquely perplexing set of circumstances making it the hardest election to predict the outcome of in more than 20 years. Consider:
1. Labour cannot win
Let's face it: Labour leader Ed Miliband is unpopular.
And although this isn't a presidential contest, it is a fact that the least popular of the leaders in the last 10 general elections has led their party to defeat nine out of every 10 times.
The sole exception is Mrs Thatcher winning against the more popular James Callaghan in May 1979.
Labour lag behind the Tories in most polls rating their economic competence too, which would again suggest they are heading for defeat.
2. But the Tories cannot win either
Every general election since the First World War has been won by either Labour or the Conservatives. Yet bizarrely, neither side seem likely to win.
For one thing, the boundary system currently favours Labour strongly.
The Tories would have to score at least five per cent more in terms of share of the vote to even win the same number of seats as Labour.
And Labour is ahead anyway. If the election was held today, opinion polls suggest they would win with a majority comparable to that won by Tony Blair in 2005.
The Tories are also yet to win a general election outright since April 1992.
3. What about the Lib Dems?
Of course it's not just a two horse race.
With many Lib Dem voters clearly disgusted by their leaders' perceived betrayal in going into coalition with the Tories, it's anyone's guess which way the yellow bird will fly now.
Will Lib Dems vote at all? Will they switch to Labour? UKIP? Who knows? But it could make all the difference to the final result.
4. And what about UKIP?
UKIP, of course, did very well in this year's local and European election.
But can they repeat this success in a national election? Will they win any seats?
Even if they don't, their swiping of votes from the major parties could prove decisive. But who is most at threat from UKIP?
As another right wing party, the Tories, on paper look most vulnerable. Yet as the local elections this year demonstrated, UKIP are quite capable of snatching Labour votes too.
5. What about the TV debates?
Will they happen again? Will UKIP's Nigel Farage take part? These could be crucial.
6. And Scotland?
What if Scotland votes 'yes' to independence in September's referendum? Would Labour lose out?
And if the 'no' vote triumphs will this lead SNP voters to jump ship to Labour?
7. And finally, it's not just about numbers…
Assuming there's another hung parliament, would the Tories and Lib Dems be happy to form another coalition together?
Would Nick Clegg have to resign first? Would the Lib Dems be able to form a coalition with Labour instead?
Would the Lib Dems have enough seats anyway? And what if UKIP win seats? Would they be able to form a coalition with the Tories?
With less than a year to go, we'll just have to wait and see…

By: Arshad Sharif, Uploaded: 2nd July 2013
"ISLAMABAD: In the first hundred days of his third stint as the Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif has to take an important decision of making three new four star appointments, including those of the Army Chief, Naval Chief and Chairman Joints Chief of staff Committee.
Holding the additional portfolio of defence minister, PM Nawaz Sharif will also be considering approving a major reshuffle in army top brass in the first week of October as CJCSC, General Khalid Shamim Wyne, and two Corp Commanders, Lt General Khalid Nawaz Khan and Lt General Muhammad Alam Khattak prepare to call farewell to arms.
This will set in a major reshuffle in the top military brass and lead to promotions for the posts of CJCSC and atleast five Corps Commanders before the retirement of General Kayani.
In a couple of detailed background meetings with journalists, General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani has ruled out taking any more extensions when his six year tenure as Army Chief comes to an end in November this year.
General Kayani is the only COAS who was given an extension of three years by a civilian government five months prior to his retirement in July 2010.
Aides close to PM Sharif believe the decision will be taken on "merit" and "seniority," giving enough leeway to the government to pick the next COAS from amongst the top generals by considering the two criterions to judge the professional competence of the officer.
Sources in the PM Office say the matter of appointment of service chiefs is highly sensitive and all cards are being kept close to the chest by the PM.
However, discussions have taken place on the issue in close door quarters of the Sharif camp. Considering the way key appointments have been made in the civilian bureaucracy, it is doubtful if the PM has learnt any lessons of preferring loyalty over merit, with loyalty still being the top most priority for the Sharif brothers.
Loyalty was among one of the factors PM Sharif considered when his brother Shahbaz Sharif and trusted lieutenant Chaudhry Nisar advised him to overlook the seniority principle and appoint General Musharraf as the COAS in October 1998. The Sharif family had to pay heavily for the decision just a year later when his hand-picked general staged a coup d'état in October 1999 and put the then Prime Minister in the 16th century Attock Fort.
If the PM adheres merely to the seniority principle in appointing the next Army Chief, there is very little left to guess as to who will be the next Army chief.
If the seniority principle is applied sensu strictu, Lt General Haroon Aslam would be the senior most in October, followed by Lt General Rashid Mehmood. Technically, any of the Lieutenant Generals could be appointed as the COAS but practically that is not possible. The decision to appoint the COAS gets complex when seniority, career progression, professional competence, command abilities, general reputation and loyalty factors are considered in picking the next COAS.
Moreover, it might be under consideration if officers who have only five or six months left for retirement should be given three more years as COAS or officers who still have at least a year of service left should be appointed so that a new battle hardened cadre of officers run the affairs of the Army.
To better understand this decision making, following are the brief profiles of at least the top five senior most Lieutenant Generals, with the hope that the PM does not throw another surprise by going beyond the list of top five senior most three star generals in picking his next chief. If he follows such a course, it would set in a number of early retirements even for officers who have a few years of service left as they may not prefer to serve under someone junior to them.
1- Lt General Haroon Aslam: Lt General Haroon Aslam is a commando of the Special Services Group (SSG) of the Army who joined the Azad Kashmir Regiment in 1975 and the SSG in 1981.
Lt Gen Aslam enjoys a good professional reputation in the army. As GOC SSG in 2009, Lt Gen Aslam was amongst the first group of soldiers to land at the highest battle ground of Swat amidst heavy gunfire from militants. Leading from the front, Gen Aslam and his commandos managed to regain control of Taliban strong hold of Peochar in Swat after battles which could serve as lesson in world's military history in high altitude mountain warfare.
Promoted as a Lt General in April 2010, he commanded the Bahawalpur Corps and was posted as Chief of Logistic Staff (CLS) in January this year.
His appointment CLS raised a few eyebrows in the drawing rooms where the most favouite past time of a few officers is to speculate about promotions and postings. CLS is generally considered to be an unimportant position to be elevated as the COAS, especially for someone who has been enjoying the limelight in all the important positions throughout his career, especially after October 1999.
In October 1999, the then Brigadier Haroon Aslam was serving as Director Military Operations and was part of the earlier meetings and plans to secure the PM House and the President's House.
Like other officers who were instrumental in implementing the counter-coup, General Musharraf promoted Brigadier Haroon Aslam to the rank of a Major General in January 2005. Major General Aslam served as GOC Quetta and in April 2007 was given the important task of DG Rangers Punjab by Musharraf. As DG Rangers Punjab, Lt Gen Aslam was instrumental in reaching a number of agreements with his Indian counterparts for release of prisoners and issues related to human and drug smuggling and coordinated patrolling of the international border.
If the decision to make CJSC or COAS is made purely on seniority principle, Lt General Haroon Aslam would top the list after retirement of Lt General Khalid Nawaz Khan and Lt General Muhammad Alam Khattak in first week of October.
However, the final decision will be made by PM Nawaz Sharif who is likely to hold the portfolio of the Defence Minister atleast till high level appointments are made in the defence forces.
Lt General Haroon Aslam is due to retire on 9th April 2014, approximately six months after October when the incumbent CJSC is due to retire.
2- Lieutenant General Rashid Mehmood: As far as promotions are concerned, Lt General Rashid Mehmood has been sharing the glory with Lt General Haroon Aslam on two important occasions, on the same day.
The then Brigadier Rashid Mehmood was serving in the United Nations when General Musharraf decided to promote him as a two star General in January 2005. Lt General Rashid and Lt General Haroon Aslam also shared the glory once again when General Kayani promoted both as three star generals in April 2010. However, similarity between the two top generals, who are being tipped to be the senior most in October for appointment as CJCSC and COAS, ends there.
Lt General Rashid is said to enjoy good reputation with the Sharif family, courtesy the former President Rafiq Tarrar and his stint as Corps Commander Lahore when he interacted with the Sharif brothers in official capacity. Lt General Rashid, who also served as Military Secretary to ousted President Tarrar, was given the strategically important post of Chief of General Staff (CGS) earlier in January.
Belonging to General Kayani's Baloch Regiment, promotion of Lt General Rashid as CGS is being considered as Army Chief's choice by the incumbent COAS as many an army chief was promoted from the same post including General Yahya Khan, General Mirza Aslam Beg, General Asif Nawaz and General Jahangir Karamat, to name just a few.
One of the reason given for Lt General Rashid being a hot favorite for the post of COAS is his stint prior to being the CGS as Corps Commander Lahore. The tenure as Corps Commander Lahore helped to create a good impression in the mind of Sharif brothers as junior Sharif frequently interacted with Lt General Rashid in his capacity as Chief Minister.
Prior to this, in the crucial and active phase of the war against terror, the then Major General Rashid Mehmood served as Deputy DG ISI to coordinate intelligence operations while some of his contemporaries were active on the war front and leading the troops from the front.
However, it is said that giving the important portfolio of CGS to Lt General Rashid, General Kayani has stacked the deck of cards favourably for an officer of his own regiment by giving him the prized position of looking after both military operations and military intelligence. In view of this, it is not difficult to guess the institutional recommendation might favor Lt General Rashid.
But it remains to be seen if PM Nawaz Sharif would decide to go by General Kayani's choice and appoint Lt General Rashid as the COAS or pick his own chief for some other considerations of merit and professional competence other than the seniority principle alone.
Moreover, the PM will also have to consider the political fallout of appointing someone who served as Corps Commander Lahore when the same criticism is being faced in political and bureaucratic appointments.
Also, it is rare that two successive Chiefs are appointed from the same regiment. Till the PM takes the final decision, all the analysts are putting their bets on Lt General Rashid as the next successor to General Kayani or atleast to be the CJCSC. Lt General Rashid would still have five months of service after retirement of General Kayani on November 28, 2013.
3- Lt General Raheel Sharif: Third in the seniority list post October retirements, Lt General Raheel Sharif is younger brother of Nishan-i-Haider Major Shabbir Sharif Shaheed.
Promoted as a Lt General in October 2010, he was first entrusted to command the Gujranwala Corps and later appointed as Inspector General Weapons, Training and Evaluation. As a two star general, he commanded the 11th division in Lahore and was later posted as Commandant Pakistan Military Academy Kakul.
It was a surprise for some when Major General Raheel Sharif was promoted as a three star general as it was thought he had already reached the peak of his career.
However, some sources say, Lt General Raheel Sharif is known to Lt General (retired) Abdul Qadir Baloch, a close confidante of PM Nawaz Sharif.
If the PM consults his cabinet for the suggestions, Lt General (retd) Abdul Qadir Baloch is said to be favorable to an officer who served under him and is known as a simple career officer.
However, this relationship would not be given much weight when the PM takes the final decision based on considerations of merit, professional competence and dynamism to tackle the challenges of militancy and withdrawal of international forces from Afghanistan. He is expected to retire in October 2014.
4- Lt General Tariq Khan: Winner of Sword of Honour in 55 PMA, Lt General Tariq Khan was promoted as a three star general in October 2010. An officer of Armoured Corps, he was serving as Inspector General FC Khyber Pakhtunkhwa before taking over as Mangla Corps Commander. Since his days as a Brigadier, Lt General Tariq Khan has an illustrious track record as a "fighting commander."
Belonging to Tank in South Waziristan tribal Agency, Lt General Tariq Khan is credited with making significant gains in the war against militants in the restive tribal areas and making FC a fighting force to reckon with. He has tried to remodel the FC into quick reaction force commando units.
Officers and men hold him in high esteem for being with them on the battle fronts and his ability to quickly take decisions.
Anyone visiting the tribal areas and talking to army soldiers hears tales of valor of Lt General Tariq Khan, especially in routing out the militants from Bajaur, South Waziristan, Dir, Mohmand, Swat and Buner.
From 2008 onwards, when 14th Division was moved under his command from Okara to fight militants in Waziristan, the military made significant gains to reclaim the territory lost to militants.
Commanding the FC in the difficult operations to clear militants from Bajaur, Lt General Tariq Khan was found leading the operation from the front lines, standing with young Captains and Majors to clear Loi Sam and other areas in the militant strong hold on Pak-Afghan border.
In South Waziristan, he broke the myth of invincibility of militants and re-established the lost credibility of Army and FC as a fighting force in the area.
Prior to that, Lt General Tariq Khan commanded the First Armoured Division in Multan in 2006-2007 where he was posted following a successful stint as Pakistan's representative in US Central command in 2004-2005.
Lt General Tariq is the only Pakistani Army officer in addition to General Kayani who was awarded the US Legion of Merit for his outstanding performance in joint Pak-US Operation Enduring Freedom. Prior to that, two Pakistani naval chiefs, Admiral Shahid Karimullah and Admiral Afzal Tahir had also received the prestigious award.
When it comes to pure merit, operational command, battle experience and professional work for uplifting the units, Lt General Tariq may be considered as a powerful choice by PM Nawaz Sharif.
If the PM decides to opt for Lt General Tariq, he would be able to ward of allegations and criticism of giving all important political and bureaucratic posts only to those who have some linkage with Lahore. Moreover, as the US and international forces withdraw from Afghanistan in 2014, it would be beneficial to have a COAS who has hands on operational field experience of formulating policies to effectively deal with the menace of militancy and the larger issues involved in Afghanistan's transition.
5- Lt General Zaheer-ul-Islam: Belonging to a politically well-established Janjua clan of Punjab, Lt General Zaheer-ul-Islam is currently the eyes and ears of the Army chief and the PM in his role as DG ISI. He has already served as Corps Commander Karachi before taking up the current assignment. Before being as Corps Commander Karachi,Lt General Zaheer-ul-Islam had served twice in ISI and also as Chief of Staff in Army's Strategic Forces Command. Belonging to Punjab Regiment, Lt General Zaheer-ul-Islam would be fifth in the seniority list after the first week of October. It is doubtful if PM Nawaz Sharif would again appoint another ISI Chief as the Army Chief. However, the reports of his organisation may play an important role in helping the PM reach the important decision of appointing the new Army Chief."
