The decision will also have other important consequences. It will be used to vilify Americans who are unwilling to assent to the new orthodoxy. In the course of its opinion, the majority compares traditional marriage laws to laws that denied equal treatment for African-Americans and women. The implications of this analogy will be exploited by those who are determined to stamp out every vestige of dissent ~ Samuel Alito, in his Obergefell v. Hodges dissent, 6/26/2015.
Friday June 26, 2015 will be recorded as an historic day for equality! On that day marriage discrimination was ended by a 5-4 Supreme Court ruling [1], making the US the 21st country to legalize same sex marriage [2]. The majority ruled bans on same sex marriage are unconstitutional due to such bans being in violation of the 14th amendment's equal protection clause. Marriage equality is now the law in all 50 states, to the horror of the Religious Right bigots.
I have no doubt, that if you were to check out message boards where these types preach their hate, you would find many people speaking about how this is a victory for Satan! I consider this to be the opposite. God does not sanction hate in response to love. Love is not a sin. When "traditional marriage" laws are compared to laws that denied equal treatment for African-Americans and women, the comparison is accurate and the people making them SHOULD be vilified for their bigotry.
Religious Right bigots like televangelist James Robison [3], who warns that... legalizing same-sex marriage is part of a satanic intent to take away freedom". Robison further warns that we should "keep in mind the enemy of God – Satan himself – is the father of all lies" [4].
With the first warning I disagree. Allowing gay people to marry has no effect on straight marriage at all. Suggestions that they do are made only by people who are stupid. With Robinson's 2nd warning, however, I agree! Satan, I believe, is deceiving those who oppose marriage equality. That many of these televangelists have accumulated vast personal fortunes is proof of who they serve [5+6]. Preaching the word of God should not be a path to enormous wealth. These preachers are being deceived, and are deceiving their flocks.
Now it might be amusing to witness how these Religious Right bigots react. Although, let us pray there is no violence. According to what I've read, signatories to a "defend marriage pledge" have been instructed by Rick Scarborough, a prominent Baptist pastor in Texas and one of the authors of the pledge, to resist all government efforts to require them to accept gay marriage. He said some, including himself, would accept any fine, arrest or even jail time to protect their religious freedom [7].
There will be no constitutional amendment banning gay marriage as desired by Mike Huckabee [8] and others. Nor will there be any amendment kicking the decision back to the states, as called for by Scott Walker [9]. This issue is now settled! There is no going back. Hopefully the bigots will accept this sooner than later.
And now that the marriage issue is resolved, hopefully we can put an end to all the other areas in which LGBT people face discrimination? The idea of a comprehensive bill covering discrimination in housing, employment, public accommodations, credit and federal programs is gaining traction. A bill that does not allow discrimination under the ruse of a "religious exemption". Or we could simply amend "the Civil Rights Act of 1964 - which provides protections based on race, color, religion, sex or national - to include the categories of sexual orientation and gender identity".
Whatever the approach, it is past time to completely ban discrimination of any kind in these areas. But Congressional Republicans will no doubt stand in the way, just as they have done in the states (Republican-controlled state legislatures being responsible for all these anti-gay state laws).
[1] Marriage discrimination was ruled unconstitutional in the Supreme Court case Obergefell v. Hodges on 6/26/2015. Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy authored the majority opinion, joined by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. Chief Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas dissented.

[5] Wikipedia notes that Robison's Christian relief organization "Life Outreach International" (which he is the president of) "third-world mission outreaches include distributing emergency food, drilling water wells, establishing orphanages, rescuing girls from sex trafficking, and providing medical care". However, his organization does not meet charity accountability standards. The author of the article "Beware of James Robinson's Ministry, David J. Stewart, says the reason for this warning (that LOI does not do proper disclosure) is "to expose the greedy televangelists who exploit Christianity to make money".

In the WooCommerce admin area when you are editing the product data there is a "Linked Products" tab. Products can be related to each other in three ways: Up-Sells, Cross-Sells, or by having the same tags or categories.
I. Up-Sells
Up-sells are products which you recommend instead of the currently viewed product, for example, products that are more profitable or better quality or more expensive. Depending on your site's template these products will display on the single product page underneath the product's description.
II. Cross-Sells
Cross-sells are products which you promote in the cart, based on the current product. Depending on your site's template they will display on the cart page underneath the cart products table with a thumbnail image.
Related products is a section on some templates that pulls other products from your store that share the same tags or categories as the current product.
These products can not be specified in the admin, but can be influenced by grouping similar products in the same category or by using the same tags.

text: Hi Steve, I have a bone to pick with ibrowse as well. I did discuss some shortcoming with Chandru, but I never posted anything to the list. I guess it's time for that now. I also thing Chandru is working on correcting some of these. 1. Reading of requests ibrowse reads request using active sockets. This means that any packet that comes in will be sent to the process managing the connection as a message. This message is then added to the front of a list, which is reversed when the complete response is received, and then flattened. Our response bodies were quite large, some times up to 2MB (or ever larger, but the largest that I have actually measured was ~2MB), and at peak time we did have quite high latency over the Internet. I think latency makes this worse, since the data can be split in to more "active packets", but I'm not sure. I've done some tests with ibrowse, receiving a 2MB, 4MB and 8MB file over a slow network. The erlang OS process would use over 800MB of resident ram when fetching the 8M file. These tests were on a 64bit machine, which makes matters worse though. 2. Copying of data between processes The request is first copied from the requesting process to the manager, which will then copy it again to the process handling the connection. When the process handling the connection is done, it will copy the response to the manager, which will in turn copy it again to the process doing the request. This copying is creating a lot of garbage and is probably part of the reason why we see so much memory being used in the previous test. It also makes the manager process' heap grow quite large if there is a lot of traffic. Another quite important issue here is the response being send from the process handling the connection to the manager. This is done with a gen_server:call, which will time out after some time. During very high CPU load (most likely from flattening many very large lists) this call would time out and we would see lots of very big crash reports, which would also make the error_handler use *a lot* of memory. 3. Timeouts The timeout handling is done in the process handling the connection, and is using some weird calculations to come up with reasonable timeouts for connect. Also note that (gen_tcp/ssl):send/2 can block for some time on a congested network. Anyway, from out point of view, ibrowse doesn't respect the actual timeout handed to the send_req call, and we had lots of internal timeouts instead of external ones. 4. Memory usage / garbage collection I don't really think this is an ibrowse issue, but it's interesting anyhow. Since data was copied between lots of processes, and processes are recycled between requests (to enable pipelining I guess) to monitor sockets they would keep a lot of the memory they had allocated. We tried to get around this by adding calls to garbage_collect after each request in the client process, but I don't think this is a good way to do it. Another approach is to use one process / request, and let it die when it's done, which would free the memory, but this doesn't work very well if you want to support pipelining, but why would you want to do that btw? Hope this helps Steve Davis wrote: > Hi Oscar, > > Do you happen to know whether ibrowse suffers the same limitations? > > regs, /s > > On Jun 5, 9:42 am, Oscar Hellström <> > wrote: >> Not to start a flame war, but I would stay away from the inets http >> client if I were trying to build something serious.

Redneck Server Farm
Well next time I need to upgrade White Trash Repair's servers we might just have to give this Bubba a call!4 Comments
"So this contraption I call Frankenvent! Our server count quickly outgrew our cooling capacity and the cost to redesign the correct cooling and racks was beyond our means so I came up with this. A couple of trips to Home Depot, a couple of large high CFM attic fans, duct fans, duct work, lots of duct tape and its alive!!! Frankenvent! It sucks the hot air right off the back of the servers up and out of the server room just adding one of these dropped the room temperature over 5 degrees in less than 30 minutes. I installed a second Frankenvent and our computer room sits at a cool 69 degrees thanks to some duct tape and red neck ingenuity! :)"5 Comments

Outpatient Clinics
FCHS or SMGH Newbury or Strathroy, Ontario
Many of the Ambulatory Care Clinics at SMGH operate full time. At FCHS these clinics are covered by visiting specialists who provide the following clinics: Pain, Cardiology, Internal Medicine, Otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), Audiology, General Surgery and Psychology. Appointments with specialists usually require a referral. Please contact your family physician.
Audiology services are available through Dr. Marc Raymond, ENT, located in the medical offices at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital, 519-245-5295 ext. 5250
The basic audiological testing includes:
- Pure tone testing (air and bone conduction)
- Sound field testing (for kids under 2) with visual reinforcement
- Impedance testing – volumes, static and dynamic compliance
- Stapedial Reflex Testing
- Reflex tone decay
- Speech Discrimination Score
- Pure tone average
Other more advanced testing include:
- CAP (central auditory processing) testing – an extensive array of testing for kids seven years and above, measuring higherbrain centre audiological function
- Recruitment tests (SISI and other)
- Tests for pseudo-hypoaccousis (malingerers)
Colposcopy is a visual examination – somewhat like endoscopy or orthoscopy – using a low-power microscope. A colposcopy is the first follow-up diagnostic test that is done to determine the presence of possible abnormalities found in Pap smears. The microscope intensifies the cervix 10-40 times its normal size and the procedure can be used to identify or rule out the existence of any pre-cancerous conditions in the cervical tissue. It is a relatively simple and painless procedure that takes approximately fifteen minutes.
The colposcopy clinic is led by Dr. Robert Di Cecco, a London-based obstetrician/gynecologist who is at Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital once a month
A referral is required from your family physician to book a colposcopy appointment.
Dr. Wei Loo holds a dermatology clinic at FCHS the first Thursday of every month.
Dr. Loo undertook her Internal Medicine training at the University of New South Wales, Australia. She then completed a Dermatology Fellowship in 2006 at Women's College Hospital in Toronto. Prior to moving back to Canada with her family this spring, Dr. Loo was a Dermatology Consultant at University Hospital in Durham, United Kingdom.
Consultations for evaluation of all types of dermatological (skin) conditions and lesions are available for adult and pediatric patients.
The Endoscopy clinic is used for examination of the esophagus and digestive tract. Endoscopy is the term used for a test in which a tube with a viewing camera is inserted to view organs without making a cut. The intestines are viewed during a colonoscopy by inserting the viewing instrument through the rectum. The physician is able to view the organs and take samples of tissue if necessary which means you may be able to avoid further surgery. These tests help diagnose various diseases of the esophagus, stomach and bowels.
Nutrition counseling with a registered dietitian is available for nutrition assessments; monitoring and education for all in- and out-patients as requested by physicians, health professionals, agencies and self-referrals. Nutrition counseling ranges from individuals with diabetes, renal, heart, allergic and gastro-intestinal (GI) disorders and food allergies to general good eating habits. Pediatric counseling is also available.
To contact a Dietitian call:
Four Counties Health Services, 519-693-6502 OR Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital, 519-246-5902
The Pain Clinic is a referral service led by Dr. Richard H. Tilsworth, MD., FRCPC, an anesthetist and former acting director of the Pain Clinic at Victoria Hospital in London. The goal of this clinic is to assist patients with a variety of conditions to lead more comfortable and productive lives.
The clinic is primarily for the treatment of chronic pain, such as low back pain and leg pain. Dr. Tilsworth will also see patients with acute myofacial, radicular and neuropathic pain; such as shingles, fibromyalgia, meralgia paresthetica and sciatica.
Following a consultation, Dr Tilsworth will make suggestions for treatments that can include exercise, medication, epidural, nerve blocks or myofascial trigger point injections. In treating a patient, Dr Tilsworth works in partnership with the family physician who will manage the patient's ongoing care and treatment requiring medication or modification of medications.
The Pain Clinic is available three days a month. A referral from your family physician is required to book an appointment.
This respirology clinic provides comprehensive assessment, treatment, patient education and improved coping skills for people living with chronic lung disease.

The clinic utilizes a shared care model with a Nurse Practitioner (NP) providing a pre-consultation assessment, spirometry and patient education.
The clinic is led by Dr. Guatam Soparkar, an internist and respirologist currently practicing in Sarnia. He has previously served as a program director for internal medicine residents and an examiner for the Medical Council of Canada and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. He is an adjunct professor at the Schulich School of Medicine, University of Western Ontario.
Dr. Soparkar is now accepting respirology consultations at Four Counties Health Services, for the first Friday of each month.
A referral from your physician is required.
Drs. Chandrasena and Fairbairn will link with FCHS Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner Lisa Plank RN(EC) via the Ontario Telemedicine Network (OTN) to provide psychiatric services to patients in the FCHS catchment area.
Patients seeking mental health services meet first with Nurse Practitioner Plank, then the psychiatric consultations take place via the two-way videoconferencing system.

Please help me welcome my guest blogger for this week, Kathleen Lutter. She has a unique hero, a man who harkens back to more chivalrous times.
Ah . . . the perfect hero. Of course, the perfect hero we create is in the eye of the beholder, but when I write a love story, I start with the heroine, and I think of the typical girl. What does she want in a guy? I mean . . . really want?
Fast forward to my current paranormal romance.
Profile of Simon Viccars. He's my hero in Wild Point Island. First, I made him 420 years old so he would have all the old-fashioned courtly manners of the heroes most of us grew up reading—the heroes who populated Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights and Pride and Prejudice.
In the opening scene, when the hero offers his hand to my heroine Ella, she notes:
"Handshakes are common, but they are done carelessly. Most people are barely
aware of how they thrust their hand into the air. Simon's hand waited, poised for
mine, harkening back to an earlier era when a gentleman really held a lady's
Simon may be 420 years old, but he's in remarkably good physical shape. In an earlier struggle for survival, he ate a poisonous plant and was changed physiologically into a revenant. He was given the gift of immortality, which means he doesn't age. He has the body of a 35 year old. He's in the prime of life physically. As my heroine Ella describes him in one scene:
"Expertly, his long slender fingers undid the buttons on his shirt and pulled the
fabric away to reveal his chest, toned and muscular. My fingers ached to feel the
texture of his skin, the warmth of his body."
And he also has a certain level of maturity that's attractive to the heroine. He's an architect. An artist. Intelligent. And the heroine learns later that Simon was the one who designed a system that the other revenants on the island could use to recharge their energy safely in the walls of their own home.
But what else does a girl like to hear?
I believe in the ying yang of a relationship. A girl likes to feel pursued, but she also likes to feel that the man who is pursuing her is worth winning, and, perhaps, even out of her league.
In one scene when Ella learns from her uncle that he sent the hero to meet her, her conversation with the hero leads to this revelation:
" . . . You know I am here on Wild Point Island to save my father. To bargain for his freedom with the Council. Did you mean what you said back there? Will you help me?"
His jaw tightened. "Yes. I will take your part and speak to the Council."
"But why? You hardly know me."
"That is true, but what your uncle said is also true. I have seen you, watched you for a long time. I feel like I know you." He whispered, "I feel drawn to you."
Curious now, my heart pounded. "For how long. How long have you watched me?"
"From that first day."
It felt as if the air was being sucked out of the room. First day? "You mean the first time I met my uncle at the Blue Dolphin?"
He nodded.
"That was ten years ago."
He stared at me now, as if he could see right into me, into my very core.
"Why didn't you approach me?"
"I wanted to, but it was not my place. You were from the human world, and what could I offer you, Ella? I have known about you all your life. I have watched you come and go."
What girl doesn't like to hear that she's been admired from afar for ten years? And by someone who had little or no hope of ever having her?
But the hero also has a secret. He was married and even though he lost his wife a long time ago, he hasn't been with anyone since her death. Is he ready to let go of the memory and be with someone new? Can Ella really have Simon all to herself?
When Ella stumbles upon Simon in his backyard, visiting the grave of his wife, her jealousy comes through.
"Obviously he could see the look of foolish hurt on my face. He had belonged to
someone else. He had loved someone else. I would be the second woman in his
life, at the very least. I would always share him with a memory."
My final demand of my hero is that he sacrifice that which is most precious to him in the name of love. Do you remember O'Henry's The Gift of the Magi? The hero and heroine both want to buy each other Christmas gifts to show their love. Neither have any money. She sells her hair to buy him a watch chain for his watch. He sells his watch to buy her a barrette for her hair. They both sacrifice in the name of love.
In Wild Point Island, Simon sacrifices his chance of leaving the island that he's been trapped on for 420 years to help Ella rescue her father. He defies the Council, even though it is not in his best interest to do so. That is the only way a hero can win the love of the heroine. That, to me, is the ultimate mark of a perfect hero.
Wild Point Island
Banished from Wild Point Island as a child, Ella Pattenson, a half human-half revenant, has managed to hide her true identity as a descendent of the Lost Colony of Roanoke. Thought to have perished, the settlers survived but were transformed into revenants–immortal beings who live forever as long as they remain on the island.
Now, Ella must return to the place of her birth to rescue her father from imprisonment and a soon to be unspeakable death. Her only hope is to trust a seductive revenant who seems to have ties to the corrupt High Council. Simon Viccars is sexy and like no man she's ever met. But he's been trapped on the island for 400 years and is willing to do almost anything for his freedom.
With the forces of the island conspiring against her, Ella must risk her father, her heart, and her life on love.
Kate Lutter
Kate Lutter believes she was born to write. She wrote her first novel when she was in eighth grade, but then almost burned her house down when she tried to incinerate her story in the garbage can because she couldn't get the plot to turn out right. Now, many years later, she lives in NJ with her husband and five cats (no matches in sight) and spends her days writing contemporary paranormal romances, traveling the world, and hanging out with her four wild sisters. She is happy to report that her debut novel, Wild Point Island, the first in a series, has just been published by Crescent Moon Press. She is busy writing the sequel and her weekly travel blog entitled Hot Blogging with Chuck, which features her very snarky and rascally almost famous cat.

Coord 311: When does an IC Matter become an OOC Matter?
Each of us are here to dress up and have a good time. The way officers and other players support this is by providing conflict for the characters during the game. Whether it be in the shape of an ally gone wrong, a muscle twirling villain, or an emotional heartbreak coming back from the past, conflict is the medium by which wonderful stories unfold.
When does this go wrong? When does conflict in game stop being healthy and start interfering?
Sometimes the conflict moves from being between characters or characters and the story, and instead starts to become conflict between two members. When this happens, we are no longer dealing with in-character matters, but instead dealing with out-of-character issues, which can be damaging to both players and domains alike.
There are various ways IC to OOC conflicts happen.
Character Conflict – What drives the story?
How would you feel reading a book, finding a beginning where the characters are introduced, and then for the next 300 pages you are introduced to a life filled with no challenges, just simply the protagonist getting everything they want with little effort? Most would find this a boring story and waste of time. Because of this, conflict is introduced to put the protagonist's goals in jeopardy. This provides for a fulfilling story.
The same is true for the live action game and our characters. It would be easy to get everything we wanted with little effort but just as with the story without conflict, a game without conflict soon becomes one where players become bored. The attendance numbers dwindle and very little happens. Thus, conflict is essential to a healthy game.
Not all conflict can be healthy, however. There are times when an IC situation can become a problem out of character between members. The ability to deal with these within the paradigms of the game is important to the health of both the organization in general, as well as to the players individually. This is one of those times where being an officer has to take priority. The quicker you can react to an escalating situation, the easier it is to handle.
The first step to dealing with the issue is identifying that there is a problem. When a player starts getting visibly upset the Officer needs to talk to them privately.
Then the Officer needs to identify if the concern is player vs. player (PvP) oriented or player vs. ST story (PvE) oriented.
If the situation is PvE, the Officer can attempt to work with the player, keeping in mind the balance of the game and fairness to all pcs involved.
If the situation is PvP, it is more complicated. Make sure it's clear to the player that there are two stories at work here and insure that the targeting of this story is due to character and not personal reasons. If it is due to personal reasons the issue becomes a conflict of interest.
Identifying Conflicts of Interest
Conflicts of Interest(COIs) is an often talked about and often misunderstood idea. You can read more about MES Conflicts of Interest regarding officer interactions under Officer 154: Conflict of Interest. There are various types of COIs that can affect the game specifically however.
STs with Prominent PCs
Storytellers who also play within their own venues have to do a balancing act. Though they wish to have fun and have their own goals, they also must look to the goals of others. One common unofficial (and sometimes official) rule that storytellers implement is not playing a major officer of the city. Due to the nearly omniscient nature of being the storyteller, it can become difficult for them to keep their own story and their role as storyteller separate. When this line becomes blurred, the Officer start can start to be viewed as "invincible" for other players, This perception is a situation where the line is crossed regarding an in-character and out-of-character matter.
Inigo Montoya
Another type of IC Conflict of Interest that becomes an OOC issue is the "Inigo Montoya" syndrome. For those that have never seen "The Princess Bride," the character of Inigo was one whose sole driving motivation was to avenge his father's death. Characters in our game die, it is the nature of the World of Darkness. Sometimes, the player's next character follows in the dead character's foot steps, conflicting with the same characters who killed the previous character. When this happens, it has moved from an IC matter to an OOC matter.
Storytellers can help a player attempt to avoid is by having them create new characters that are in no way related to the old character, and thus can not exploit any knowledge ooc known about their "new" adversary and avenge the death of the prior character. There are rules in place that specifically forbid this.
OOC Player Conflict affecting an IC Story
Players have lives that intersect with the lives of others outside the game. Not everyone can be friends. There can be various levels of conflict that happen in our outside lives. Typically this is dealt with through player discussion or mediation but sometimes that doesn't always end the issues. Soon storytellers can see antagonism between the characters of those players, ones that are illogical if you look at their histories. In this situation, players chose to make an OOC issue an IC issue, which makes the matter an OOC matter, and needs to be addressed.
The best way to handle this is by dividing the players so interactions don't happen. Help them to keep their stories separate so they do not need to interact with each other.
"Emotional Bleed"
The players, when stepping into the game, don a "persona" which is a mix of their own personality and one that is created specifically for the game. Though often there are no problems with the conflicts that arise due to the game, sometimes players end up more emotional over the disposition of their characters. This is known as "emotional bleed." By itself, emotional bleed isn't always a bad thing, and there are ways of dealing with it in a healthy manner. Other times, however, it can create problems for the group.Remember it it is important to ensure that members are differentiating between real life and game life.
One situation that can arise from the emotional bleed is the idea that players feel "everyone is out to get you." Players make mistakes with their characters. It is only natural. In the games we play these mistakes are exploited by others in a very cut-throat, back stabbing way. Some players mistaken IC motivations for OOC motivations, and make statements like "how could you do this to me," or "she's nothing but a backstabber who isn't a very good friend, if a friend at all." This isn't the truth, as it is the characters with the conflict not the players, but the emotional bleed allows for this perception, and the perception and relationship between the players then needs to be taken care of as an OOC matter.
Though emotional bleed doesn't always happen, we each need to take steps to try and avoid this OOC issue stemming from IC actions. This is where mediation can come into play.Often just getting the two players to sit down ooc and talk about the situation can fix the problem. You can find more about conflict resolution in Coord 342: How to do Conflict Resolution.
Player Triggers
Players have backgrounds, much of which are probably not public knowledge to the members or necessarily officers. The World of Darkness is a darker world than the one we live in and the issues that a player has faced may become plot fodder for an ST unintentionally. It is not always easy for a player to share their background or know ahead of time exactly what is going to cause an issue, especially because they don't know where a story is going towards.
It is the officers responsibility to work with their players, as much as the player is willing to share, so they can give proper warnings if an issue is going to arise and the player can chose to pursue the plot or remove themselves from the situation. Officers should also take note of situations that do arise when warnings were not issued so that they can issue trigger warnings in the future.
If a player was issued a trigger warning and chose to try to handle the situation and then can not do so and becomes emotionally affected ooc, the presiding officer has the right to remove them from the situation and try to work with them after the fact if possible, for what happens with the character. Real life always comes first in MES.
Dealing with IC to OOC issues
Each of the problems presented have their own methods how they should be dealt with but there are a couple of general rules for all of them.
- Communication is the key.
- Try to ask questions first, and invite players to do the same and thus possibly a negative situation can be avoided.
- Try to keep everyone in the situation remaining calm so a clear discussion can occur.
- Perceived issues of an OOC nature can be dealt with via Conflict resolution. This is detailed in the education document Coord 342, Conflict Resolution
- If there is a concern about an officer having a conflict of interest, it is often best to request a third party examine the situation and make a call. People involved in a Conflict of Interest often have a bias making that call.
- Most importantly: Keep in mind that real life always comes first and don't be afraid to remind those involved. Player feelings and situations that involve emotional bleed and triggers should not be ignored.
Storytellers and coordinators should pay close attention to the members, especially during times of high stress (both in and out of character), to try to head off or mitigate any OOC feelings. This can typically be dealt with by using reasoned, careful communication with the individuals involved, and providing them support during a time of stress for their characters.

What is the GroupCamp Partner Program and how does it work? How do billing and discount work?
To become a GroupCamp Partner you need to own a GroupCamp account.
Once your application is approved, you can start reselling the GroupCamp services and bill your clients while receiving a discount.
GroupCamp will bill you and provide you with all the product support you need.
The Partner Program provides you with a Reseller application that will allow you to manage all your clients accounts. You will also get access to GroupCamp marketing tools.
Where do I join the GroupCamp Partner Program?
First, create you GroupCamp account and then fill the form here.
Who bills who?
You can bill your customer monthly, quarterly or even yearly. Currency and methods of payment are also up to you.
You may bill additionnal services like training or support. The content and amount of your bills is at your own discretion. Indeed, agreements related to partner services are signed exclusively by the Customer and the Partner.
GroupCamp will bill you every month for each customer you have. The invoice date depends entirely on the anniversary date of your customer's acccount.
For example: If your customer account was created on March 15, then the monthly billing date for this customer will be April 15, May 15, June 15 etc...
Your prepaid account (and/or your credit card) will be debited and a bill will be issued.
What about VAT?
If you company is not based in the EU. You are invoiced without VAT.
If your company is based in the European Union, your payments will automatically be labelled in Euros. If you have filled your intra-community VAT number, you will be invoiced without VAT.
If you do not provide a valid Intra-community VAT number.The VAT rate of your country will apply.
How do I pay GroupCamp?
Each reseller has a reseller prepaid account. You can add funds by credit card to this prepaid account. A credit card can be registered in your account in order to automatically add funds to your reseller prepaid account if needed.
What is my discount as a reseller?
At the end of each month, a discount of 15% is calculated on the total amount billed to your customers and a credit note is issued. The reseller prepaid account will then be credited.
What is my earning as an affiliate?
The Partner Program also includes an affiliate program which allows you to earn revenues each time one of your referred client purchases his/her subscription. Earnings gained from the affiliate program are credited in the Affiliate application of your GroupCamp account.
if the customer pays GroupCamp directly: You will receive 50% on the first customer payment and 5% of their payments for life.
if you resell GroupCamp: You will receive 5% of their payments for life.
As a reseller, what are the key steps to set up a client?
First of all there are 2 different cases :
1) Clients that are set up by a reseller
2) Existing clients who enter into a reseller relationship with a GroupCamp reseller (you can share the following article with your customer: www.groupcamp.com/h/purchasing-groupcamp-authorized-reseller-partners)
(In the client account) Add the affiliate code for new clients
When you set up a trial account for a client, add your partner code (which is also your affiliate code) on the set up page. If your trial client is the owner of the account, you need to give them your partner code.
Why is that important ? As a partner, since you brought a client to GroupCamp, you will earn affiliate revenues. These revenues are based on the client's subscription (even if you do not end up reselling the subscription).
You (or the account owner) can still add your partner affiliate code 20 days after the account is set up. You need to click on the Manage my Account icon located in the Admin panel.
(In the client account) Add the Reseller relationship
Once a client agrees to be billed by a reseller (we recommend that you do this only then), the owner of the client account can establish the reseller relationship by going to the 'Manage my account' section and clicking on 'Use the services of a partner'
Once the client confirms the request, an email will be sent out to the partner and a pending client event will be generated in the Events application located in the GroupCamp Reseller's account.
(In the Reseller account) Accept the client request in the Reseller Apps
Client requests are listed as 'pending' in the Clients application.
The pending clients are also listed in the Clients application.
Click on the client name to access their information and accept the request.
(In the Reseller account) Verify next payment for the client and balance of your prepaid account
Please note that once the client is accepted, your prepaid account will be billed at the next anniversary date. We recommend you to check both the next payment date and the balance of your reseller prepaid account.
Important Note: IT IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT NOT TO ESTABLISH A RESELLER RELATIONSHIP BEFORE THE CLIENT AGREES TO PURCHASE THE ACCOUNT.
Who is handling customer support?
Customer support is entirely up to you. You have therefore three options:
Option 1: All support questions come to you directly, you can then forward us questions when you are unsure of the questions
Option 2: All support questions come to us directly and our support team addresses them.
Option 3: All support questions come to you and us.
Can I cancel, downgrade or upgrade the account of a customer?
Yes you can. On a monthly basis, you can cancel, downgrade and/or upgrade the account of a customer through the GroupCamp Reseller application.
What are the next possible steps with my new customer ?
If you have created an account for a customer, we strongly recommend you to transfer the ownership of the account back to your customer.
Here is the process on how to do so:
- Invite the customer's main contact as a collaborator in the customer account.
- When the main contact is connected in his/her account, then transfer the account ownership to this person. Please read this FAQ for more information: www.groupcamp.com/h/owner-role-transferring-the-ownership-of-an-account
- Your contact will then become the owner and administrator of the account. You will become an administrator in the account.
- Ask the owner to delete you from the account by going into the Directory > Users app. He/she can also change your user type and put you as a guest in the account.
The customer account is now linked with your account. As a reseller, you are now in charge of:
- Managing offerings (upgrade, downgrade, cancel)
- Paying GroupCamp bills for your customer
- Supporting your customer with questions coming from the owner and administrators (you may choose to let the GroupCamp support team to support your customer directly - If so please contact GroupCamp)
You may also decide to support collaborators directly (enter your support email adress in the Help Center icon located in the Admin Panel). Please read this FAQ for more information: www.groupcamp.com/h/how-to-setup-your-internal-user-support
Important note: You can also keep the ownership of the customer during the free trial period if your customer agrees to it. AFTER the free trial - you need to decide whether or not you need to stay in the account. This is a question of confidentiality beetween your customer and you. Remaining the owner of your customer's account means that you have access to ALL data in your customer's account.
Can other users in my partner account get access to the Reseller Apps?
Short answer: Yes.
If you would like other users in your GroupCamp account to access the Reseller group, go to the Partner section located in the lower left sidebar menu of your account, then click on the Reseller group.
In the Reseller Group, click on the " i " button to open the Information panel, then click on the Manage members button.

You can set up an account for a customer (with the customer's information) and transfer the ownership of the account at the end of the free trial period.
Do I need to be a GroupCamp customer to become a GroupCamp Partner. Do I need to be a paying customer?
You need to have an active GroupCamp account to become a partner. GroupCamp does not require that this account be a paid account (with subsciption to GroupCamp offerings in paid plans). However providing support services to GroupCamp customers also involves a deep knowledge of paid plans and GroupCamp Partners need to be able to answer basic questions regarding plan-specific features.
Can GroupCamp interrupt a contract between a customer and a GroupCamp Partner? Can a customer change partner without prior consent from GroupCamp or the Partner?
The account owner is free to choose a partner and change partner.

Within their accounts, GroupCamp customers are free to choose and change their GroupCamp partner.

Lying Eyes
You have to hand it to Ted "Country Boy" Cruz. He knows how to turn a seemingly harmless question into a political statement. The amazing thing is that Rolling Stone didn't call Ted out on this. It took Bill Maher to point to the blatant hypocrisy in the statement, with one of his panelists noting that Cruz will say literally anything to pander to the religious right wing, who is decidedly country when it comes to music.
It's not like "classic rock" musicians didn't respond to 9/11. A huge concert was held at Madison Square Garden nine days later that had rock stars from around the world and across the political spectrum coming together to praise the first responders, with proceeds going to the ongoing recovery. Among those were John Mellencamp and Kid Rock putting aside their political differences to sing Mellencamp's classic, Pink Houses. Kid Rock comes in at about the 6 minute mark. The Who capped off the evening with Won't Get Fooled Again, which I suppose could be taken many ways in the aftermath of the heinous attacks across America.
The memorable evening also included many television and movie actors, which the Right wing also loves to bash. How dare those damn "liberals" tread on their "America First" domain! The concert was later made into a film, directed by Spike Lee, Kevin Smith and Jerry Seinfeld, among others, with more proceeds going to the recovery efforts. All together the rock event raised over $30 million.
One can understand Fox letting Cruz get away with these kinds of statements, but the mainstream media pretty much let it slide. Of course, you probably don't want to call more attention to Cruz's outlandish statements than they deserve, but this guy is the ultimate fraud, and should be repeatedly called out as such, not allowed to say whatever he damn well pleases on national television with no repercussions.
I chalk this up to the initial media flirtation with 2016's first declared presidential candidate. Whatever his musical tastes are, it had nothing to do with the way rock and roll music responded to 9/11. As the Eagles would sing, You Can't Hide Your Lying Eyes.

CenterPoint Energy, Inc.CNP recently provided an updated 2017 guidance, which hints at an improvement in full-year earnings. The company currently expects earnings per share to exceed the range of $1.25-$1.33 in 2017, compared to its prior guidance of earnings at or near the high end of this range.
The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.31, higher than the mid-point of the company-provided range.
Details of the Updated Outlook
Per management, recent adjustments made in CenterPoint Energy's bottom line, including a re-measurement of deferred tax liabilities and a credit to income tax expenses, primarily led to the raised earnings projection. This updated guidance also takes into account the company's midstream investments as well as amortization of CenterPoint Energy's basis difference in Enable Midstream.
The guidance is also takes factors like Enable Midstream's most recent public outlook for 2017 provided on Nov 1, 2017, and projected effective tax rates. However, it excludes potential impacts such as any change in accounting standards or Enable Midstream's unusual items. The outlook also excluded one-time items like changes in accounting standards or unusual items, earnings or losses from the change in the value of the ZENS securities and related stocks, or the timing effects of market-to-market accounting in the company's Energy Services business.
What Led to the Upbeat Guidance?
The recently passed $1.5-trillion tax bill by the U.S. Senate, which includes a deep tax cut for corporates, seems to have played a major role in the lifting of the guidance. In fact, during the third-quarter earnings call, the company did give an indication that a favorable tax reform might result in a lower tax rate for CenterPoint Energy. So, shelling out less in form of tax will boost the bottom line.
Moreover, the company had earlier projected income tax rate at 36% for 2017 despite witnessing a slightly higher rate of 37% in the third quarter. The latest tax reform might have pulled down the rate further for the company, thereby leading to the raised outlook.
Moreover, CenterPoint Energy's venture in Enable Midstream has been consistently boosting the bottom line. Considering the fact that Enable Midstream continues to see a strong level of activity on their system with 40, it must have also contributed to this raised bottom line guidance.
What Lies Ahead?
CenterPoint Energy has been investing substantially to expand its operations to cope with increasing utility demand. The company is currently focused on upgrading infrastructure and improving reliability. Toward this end, the company maintains its capital outlay of $7 billion from 2017 through 2021. With respect to bottom-line growth, CenterPoint Energy expects to witness 4-6% annual EPS growth or exceeding the high end of the range through 2018, inclusive of Midstream Investments.
Notably, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings is pegged at $1.41 for 2018, reflecting year-over-year improvement of 7.8%.
Price Movement
CenterPoint Energy's stock has moved up about 10.4% in the last 12 months compared with the broader industry 's gain of 4.7%. This outperformance must have been led by significant customer growth as well as investments to upgrade infrastructure.
Zacks Rank & Key Picks
CenterPoint Energy carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Investors can consider better-ranked stocks in the same industry such as FirstEnergy Corporation FE , PPL Corporation PPL and WEC Energy Group, Inc. WEC , all of which carry a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here .

A herniated disc in your back can cause serious pain. As tissue from the disc presses against nerves, it can cause radiating, debilitating pain. To repair the disc, a surgeon will remove part of the tissue. This often requires drilling through the vertebrae in order to expose the disc. Once you relieve the pressure on your nerves, you will want to do everything that you can to help the disc heal so that you don't have to worry about re-injury.
Pain Management
Your doctor will prescribe medication to help you cope with pain directly after surgery. Typically, you will have opioids or narcotics. Be careful when taking opioids because they tend to depress your digestion system, which can lead to constipation. Furthermore, you should avoid NSAIDs or non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs. These drugs will suppress bone growth, which is an important component of recovery. You want the bones to be strong so that the risk of future injury is lessened.
While you are recovering, you might want to spend as much time reclining as you can. The problem with convalescing in a supine position is that you don't get a lot of blood flow. While you should avoid excessive movement, which could aggravate your injury, you should get up and move frequently. Gradual movements will help get blood flowing without putting some strain on your back are ideal. Avoid jumping, twisting, jolting, or jerky movements. You should also avoid any activities that require you to lean forward at the hips.
The first few months after your surgery require you to severely limit the amount of lifting you do. For the first month, you should not lift more than ten pounds. In other words, you should avoid lifting more than a full gallon of milk. For the second month, you should avoid lifting more than twenty-five pounds. After three months, you can lift as much as you want as long as you don't feel pain.
In some cases, to repair a herniated disc, the orthopedic doctors will have to fuse two discs together in order to create stability. In other cases, they can simply remove the part of your disc that is putting pressure on your nerves. In either case, you will need to follow your doctor's guidelines very carefully in order to allow your back to recover properly. Just remember how intense and crippling the pain resulting from a herniated disc can be, and you should have no problem sticking to the restrictions of your recovery routine.Share

The Debt Setoff Program (DSO) was established to hold offenders accountable for financial obligations owed, to assist in the enforcement of court orders, and to increase collections in the Arizona court system. A participant* provides the name, social security number (SSN) and the full amount of the debt owed to the DSO program and if a debt claim matches with a taxpayer's refund or lottery winning, an intercept will occur.
Arizona Tax Refund Interception
A.R.S. § 42-1122 allows the Arizona court system to participate in the Arizona Department of Revenue's DSO program. The DSO program enables participants to intercept Arizona state income tax refunds if an outstanding amount of $41 or more is owed.
A taxpayer, whose refund has been intercepted, may call the DSO Interactive Voice Response (IVR) in the Phoenix Metropolitan area at (602) 452-3210 or toll free 1-877-435-3829. The caller must enter their SSN and follow the prompts when instructed. It is also advised that the caller listen to the entire message in the event they have been entered into the program by more than one participant. The caller will receive information regarding which participant(s) they can contact and provided with the participant(s) phone number.
Arizona Lottery Winnings Interception
A.R.S. § 5-575 established a debt setoff program by which Arizona Lottery winnings of $600 or more could be intercepted to collect delinquent debts of at least $100.
For more information about the DSO program, send your inquiry to email@example.com *Participants are comprised of Adult and Juvenile Probation departments, divisions of County Attorney offices, and courts in the state of Arizona.
