Submit a request for assistance
Graffiti cannot always be prevented, but property owners and residents can reduce the incidence of graffiti on building exteriors and walls by having good lighting and uncomfortable vegetation in place.
Work with your neighbors, your neighborhood association or home owners' association to be the eyes and ears for your community.
Putting graffiti on public or private property is against the law. If you see someone in the act of "tagging," call 911. If the graffiti is already in place, call 792-CITY (2489) to report it. Graffiti left in place tends to attract more graffiti.
When reporting graffiti for removal please provide the following information:
Address or cross streets of location with graffiti. When providing this information please indicate where graffiti is located. Example: 7575 E Speedway Bl - graffiti is on west wall, black paint; or Speedway & Kolb northeast corner on wall, red paint. If no specific information is provided a work order will not be generated. We will remove graffiti only within City Limits.
Alleys: The City will remove graffiti in an alley if it is a corner house and then only 50 feet into the alley. Anything further will be the homeowner's/owner's responsibility.
We do not remove graffiti from: construction sites or equipment, billboards, vehicles, construction dumpsters & containers, parks, schools, murals, interior of structures, Sun Tran property, ADOT property (ex: freeway sound walls), surfaces above two levels, private property not clearly visible by public right of way (example: interior backyard fence of private residence) and locations with no access (example: wall behind locked gates with "No Trespass" signs present.
- Graffiti on bus stops can be reported to Sun Tran customer service at 792-9222.
- Graffiti out of City Limits can be reported to Pima County at 792-8224.
- Graffiti at ADOT property can be reported to 388-4200.
- If you are a property owner or resident, you can try washing off graffiti or painting it over yourself. If you need assistance, call 792-CITY (792-2489). If you attempt to remove the graffiti by covering it with paint and the paint is "blotched", we will not be able to remove it.

When eighth-grader Jack Settle entered his photography in the Washington County Fair, he was excited to receive both a first and second place ribbon. But this win was nothing compared to the excitement he felt on Sept. 19 while checking his email.
When eighth-grader Jack Settle entered his photography in the Washington County Fair, he was excited to receive both a first and second place ribbon. But this win was nothing compared to the excitement he felt on Sept. 19 while checking his email.
Jack, an eighth-grade student at Central Middle School, recently entered the Young Photographer of the Year contest for the Society of Biology, based in the United Kingdom. Just weeks after winning two ribbons at the fair, Jack received an email from the contest, notifying him that his photograph was one of just 12 chosen as a finalist from more than 600 entries.
Jack explained that he was introduced to the contest by Aaron Goodwin, a herpetologist and zookeeper at the Tulsa Zoo and Bartlesville resident who has also been a mentor to him.
"(Goodwin) takes me to go look for and catch snakes — it's called herping, actually — and he just sent (the information) to me on Facebook," Jack said.
The photo, of a Habronattus coecatus, more commonly known as a jumping spider, was caught by mere chance, Jack explained, stating that he happened upon it in his driveway. And taking a trick from an old pro, he was able to catch the spider up close on film without the use of a powerful close-up lens.
"With that picture, I have a seven-dollar macro reverse ring so I can mount the lens backwards, and it lets you get really close," he said.
Jack learned this trick from Thomas Shahan, an Oklahoma native whose work on jumping spiders has been featured in National Geographic. Jack discovered Shahan through YouTube videos Shahan had created on macrophotography. For his 13th birthday, Jack's parents arranged for him to meet with Shahan, who taught him various tips and tricks of macrophotography.
From age four, Jack has been interested in insects. He made his first insect collection at four, and did so every year after as well. Finally, when his mother could stand the dead bugs no longer, his parents encouraged him to keep a "digital bug collection." They bought him a small digital camera which he used until he was able to save enough money to purchase a new, higher quality camera. His interest in photography grew from that point on.
Although he is currently undecided on future college or career plans, Jack said that he "definitely want(s) to continue" photography as a hobby.
"I want to do anything with animals or music, more specifically with reptiles, but I like most animals," Jack said, adding that he will continue photography as much as he can.
"I've encouraged him to major in biology and minor in photography," his mother, Sonja Settle, said. "This is what he does. Every free chance he has, he wants to get out and explore with his camera."
Aside from photography, Jack enjoys vocal and instrumental music. He is a member of the school choir and plays guitar, cajon and drums for his youth worship team at Grace Community Church. He is also a member of publications and student council.
Over the years, Jack said he has had many mentors who have continuously encouraged and inspired him. Mentors include Goodwin and Shahan, as well as local dermatologist Dr. David Eslicker, who saw Jack's interest in falconry and allowed Jack to accompany him to photograph his birds; Oklahoma State University biology graduate who gave Jack his first pet tarantula and got him interested in birds and arthropods; and Dr. Stephen Mullin, a professor at Eastern Illinois University who allowed Jack to participate in a field excursion with a group of his students to explore a road where a large population of reptiles and amphibians migrate to.
"There are a bunch of people that kind of have helped him to this point — adults who just see kind of his passion and his potential and have just taken the time to kind of pour their knowledge and time into helping him pursue that," Settle said.
In mid-October, Jack and his family will travel to London to attend a parliamentary reception and celebration on Oct. 16. A formal awards ceremony will be held the next day, where the winner of the competition will be announced. The winner will return home with 500 pounds (approximately US $800) and a copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. All finalists' photographs will also be on display in the Royal Institution of Great Britain.

The Punjab government today canceled all labour and transportation tenders issued during the erstwhile SAD-BJP rule for the upcoming wheat procurement season.
The Punjab government today canceled all labour and transportation tenders issued during the erstwhile SAD-BJP rule for the upcoming wheat procurement season. Fresh tenders have been invited, and Deputy Commissioners have been directed to personally supervise the procurement process that starts on April 1, an official spokesperson said here. In a meeting chaired by Chief Minister Amarinder Singh it was decided that fresh tenders can be submitted by March 24. These will be opened the next day by District Tender Allotment Committees, the spokesperson said. The entire tendering process will be completed by March 31, before the procurement season starts.
In case re-tendering is required, the entire process shall be finalised by the committees by March 31, the spokesperson said. During the meeting held at the Punjab Bhawan here, the Chief Minister directed DCs to put in place a viable mechanism to ensure smooth and hassle-free procurement of wheat-crop.
Amarinder said officials should make all-out efforts to ensure timely and full procurement of every single grain of wheat from farmers, who had "suffered a harrowing time last year due to an ill-conceived agricultural policy of the erstwhile SAD-BJP government".

Reiterating that his government is committed to ensure prompt and seamless wheat procurement, Amarinder said officers must ensure that farmers do not face any inconvenience in selling their produce in Mandis between April 1 and May 31. He directed officers to arrange drinking water facilities and toilets for labourers working in the grain markets.
The Punjab Mandi Board has been directed to make available electricity, moisture meters, tarpaulins to Arthiyas, crates, power cleaners, fans, generators, in all the markets by March 24, Amarinder said.
The meeting was informed that to ensure smooth, prompt and hassle-free procurement of wheat, necessary arrangements for storage and stock article had already been completed. It was also informed that a network of 1,828 purchase centres has been notified by the Board.
Mandis have been allotted to six procurement agencies, namely Pungrain, Markfed, Punsup, Punjab State Warehousing Corporation, Punjab Agro Foodgrain Corporation and Food Corporation of India (FCI), as per share allocated to them by the state government.
The agencies would procure an estimated 122 lakh Metric Ton (LMT) of wheat during this procurement drive. The Centre has fixed Rs 1,625 per quintal as Minimum Support Price for wheat for the current marketing season.
The DCs will issue orders to form grievance committees as well as prohibit movement of combines in farms for harvesting wheat at night, the spokesman said,adding they will also convene meetings regarding procurement with all stakeholders.
To ensure timely online payment to Arthiyas, PoS and swipe machines will be delivered by banks to the procurement agencies. These will be installed in all the Mandis by March 27.

|Orthostatic blood pressure control before and after spaceflight, determined by time-domain baroreflex method.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15649869 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Reduction in plasma volume is a major contributor to orthostatic tachycardia and hypotension after spaceflight. We set out to determine time- and frequency-domain baroreflex (BRS) function during preflight baseline and venous occlusion and postflight orthostatic stress, testing the hypothesis that a reduction in central blood volume could mimic the postflight orthostatic response. In five cosmonauts, we measured finger arterial pressure noninvasively in supine and upright positions. Preflight measurements were repeated using venous occlusion thigh cuffs to impede venous return and "trap" an increased blood volume in the lower extremities; postflight sessions were between 1 and 3 days after return from 10- to 11-day spaceflight. BRS was determined by spectral analysis and by PRVXBRS, a time-domain BRS computation method. Although all completed the stand tests, two of five cosmonauts had drastically reduced pulse pressures and an increase in heart rate of approximately 30 beats/min or more during standing after spaceflight. Averaged for all five subjects in standing position, high-frequency interbeat interval spectral power or transfer gain did not decrease postflight. Low-frequency gain decreased from 8.1 (SD 4.0) preflight baseline to 6.8 (SD 3.4) postflight (P = 0.033); preflight with thigh cuffs inflated, low-frequency gain was 9.4 (SD 4.3) ms/mmHg. There was a shift in time-domain-determined pulse interval-to-pressure lag, Tau, toward higher values (P < 0.001). None of the postflight results were mimicked during preflight venous occlusion. In conclusion, two of five cosmonauts showed abnormal orthostatic response 1 and 2 days after spaceflight. Overall, there were indications of increased sympathetic response to standing, even though we can expect (partial) restoration of plasma volume to have taken place. Preflight venous occlusion did not mimic the postflight orthostatic response.

Suggestion for the How to Read a Schematic tutorial: mention that op-amps aren't the only component which gets a large triangle symbol — not to list them all, but just to point out that the triangle doesn't mean op-amp (rather the triangle with + and - marks generally does). For example, the datasheet for a microcontroller (something likely of interest for your audience) might contain in its schematic for pin/port functions a Schmitt trigger, digital buffer, or inverter.

Doryteuthis opalescens
|Opalescent inshore squid
|Doryteuthis opalescens
|Scientific classification
D. opalescens
|Binomial name
|Doryteuthis opalescens
Doryteuthis opalescens, the opalescent inshore squid is a small squid (mantle length (ML) up to 190 mm) in the family Loliginidae. It is a myopsid squid, which is the near shore group and that means that they have corneas over their eyes. The species lives in the eastern Pacific Ocean from Mexico's Baja California peninsula to Alaska, United States, and as an inshore squid it can be found with a range of 200 miles (320 km) off the coast.
Adult Doryteuthis opalescens can reach a total size of 28 cm. Males are typically larger with a mantle length of 13–19 cm, while females are 12–18 cm in mantle length.[2] The mantle of D. opalescens is not fused to the head and its body is 4 to 5 times longer than it is wide, with fins equal in both length and width. This squid has 8 arms with 2 longer tentacles ending in tentacular clubs equipped with suckers at their ends. The tentacular clubs are narrow with 4 rows of suckers and 2 large rows in the center of the tentacular club bordered by outer rows of smaller suckers. The 8 arms have only 2 rows of alternating suckers running down their length.[3] In male D. opalescens, the left ventral arm is specialized or "hectocotylized" for spermatophore transfer during mating.[2] The eyes of D. opalescens are covered with a non-perforated membrane known as a cornea which is a signature of myopsid squid.[2] The color of D. opalescens can range from white to brown, with the animals able to change their color shades using chromatophores depending on mood and for camouflage. They are normally a bluish-white to mottled brown and gold, and they change to dark red or brown when excited, frightened or feeding.[2]
Doryteuthis opalescens is very similar to two other species of squid in the same family: Doryteuthis pealeii from the North Atlantic Coast of North America, and Loligo gahi from the coast of Chile.[4]
Life history[edit]
The life cycle of D. opalescens has four stages: eggs, hatchlings (called paralarvae), juveniles, and adults. Squid live for 6–9 months. Doryteuthis opalescens eggs are laid on sandy bottom substrates in 10–50 m depth, although there is a report of a shrimp trawler pulling up eggs from 400 fathoms (730 m). Females encapsulate hundreds of eggs in a sheath that is made of many layers of protein. Bacteria grow between the layers and may serve as an antibiotic for fungal infection. Females insert the egg capsules into the sand with a sticky substance that anchors them in place so that the ocean surge can ventilate them. The presence of eggs on the bottom of tanks stimulates females to lay more eggs. Groups of capsules are placed in masses that can extend into egg beds. Some egg beds can cover acres of the ocean floor. The eggs take 3–8 weeks to hatch with warmer water shortening the incubation time. Bat stars (Asterina miniatus) are the most prevalent predators of eggs. Fish do not eat them, although they will nip at eggs not covered by the capsule sheath. There is no brooding.
Paralarvae of D. opalescens hatch from the eggs and immediately begin swimming. Where they go is unknown, but hatchlings of the closely related Loligo pealei swim to the surface in the first 12 hours post-hatching. Paralarvae must rapidly learn to hunt, as their yolk is either used up or detached upon escaping from the egg sheath. Through a series of trial and error as these 2–3 mm ML hatchlings learn to eat copepods and other plankton in the first months of their lives. They are found in the greatest abundance at 15 m depth by night and 30 m depth by day. Thus, they perform a daily vertical migration of 15 meters, no small feat a creature only 3 mm long. This daily migration coupled with the shear zone created by tidal and near-shore currents cause the hatchlings to become entrained within 3 kilometers of shore. That is good for them because in the near-shore environment the plankton is smaller and easier for them to eat.
By the time D. opalescens reaches 15 mm mantle length (about 2 months old) they are strong enough to swim in shoals. These juveniles form groups of tens of individuals and swim over the shelf in search of food. Those that have survived to this point can hunt with the tentacular strike as seen in the adults. At some point between 4–8 months their sexual organs mature and they are now considered adults. Sexually mature animals can be 70–160 mm ML and weigh about 40 grams.
Adult D. opalescens move off the continental shelf by day and can be found to depths of 500 m. Adult shoals return to the surface at night to hunt. At some point these shoals move on shore to spawn where aggregations can reach million of individuals. Originally it was thought that the adults died after spawning, as the egg beds were often littered with dead squid. Now there is debate as to how long adults live after their first egg deposition and whether they can spawn repeatedly over the last weeks or months of their lives.[5]
Predator and prey relationships[edit]
Doryteuthis opalescens is a cannibalistic predator that feeds on smaller prey species such as fish, crabs, shrimp, mollusks, and other juvenile squids.[2] It uses its two longer tentacles with tentacular clubs on the end to snare and catch its prey. Doryteuthis opalescens itself is an important food source for many predators like larger fish, sharks, marine mammals, seabirds, and also humans. Its predators include the common seal, California sea lion, blue shark, Chinook salmon, black-throated diver, and Brandt's cormorant.
The fishery for D. opalescens began with the Chinese in Monterey Bay, California in 1860. By the turn of the century Italian fishermen had assumed the leading role. After World War II there was a resurgence in squid fishing. Since 1981 the fishery, has grown significantly, as effort in Southern California has increased. Now Southern California, mostly areas around the Channel Islands, comprises 90% of the squid landings. The fishery in Monterey Bay occurs from April to November coinciding with the upwelling season. In Southern California landings begin in November and continue through April correlated with the greater mixing of winter storms. Since 1993 squid has been the #1 fishery in California with landings of 118,000 tons[vague] and $41 million in 2000. The population fluctuates greatly with the El Niño. During these warm water and nutrient poor years landings can disappear entirely in certain areas.

text: Santa Cruz Criminal Defense Blog 2015 May Bail Pending Appeal or Application for Probation Previous Post | Next Post Bail Pending Appeal or Application for Probation Posted By McGuire & McGuire Law Office || 5-May-2015 A defendant who has been convicted of an offense not punishable by death may request the court for a release on bail pending the defendant's application for probation or appeal. Bail is a matter of right before judgment is pronounced pending an application for probation in a misdemeanor case, when an appeal is from a judgment imposing a fine only whether for a misdemeanor or felony or when an appeal is from a judgment imposing imprisonment in a misdemeanor case. A misdemeanant whose probation is revoked and reinstated which includes a jail term is entitled to release on bail pending appeal. The Courts of Appeal are split as to whether a defendant convicted of a felony and committed to the jail as a condition of probation is entitled to release on bail pending an appeal. The right to release on bail is a remedy for an appealing defendant and does not apply to an appeal by the prosecution. Categories: Bail, Bail Bonds Share Post

Details Emerge After Deadly Shooting at the Empire State Building
NEW YORK CITY (AP) - New York City officials say a laid-off women's accessories designer shot and killed co-worker outside the Empire State Building, then got in a shootout with police.
Fifty-six-year-old Jeffrey Johnson opened fire with a .45-caliber pistol at about 9 a.m. Friday on the Fifth Avenue side of the building. He was shot dead by police.
Nine others were hit by gunfire. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that some of the victims may have been hit by police bullets. The victims are expected to survive. Johnson was laid off about a year ago from a company housed in the Empire State Building.

California's last governor was so committed to lighting up that he kept a cigar tent outside his office, vetoed the state-park beach smoking ban, and even went out of his way to demonstrate that the occasional Cuban won't impair a man's ability to procreate.
The election of smoke-averse Jerry Brown might be the end of days for area puffers — especially those who don't favor cigarettes.
The state Senate passed SB332, allowing landlords to ban smoking on their properties. (The bill has moved to the state Assembly.) More pressingly, the state Senate has taken up SB575, a bill hatched by state Sen. Paul DeSaulnier (D-Walnut Creek) to close "loopholes" in the 1994 workplace smoking ban.
In the name of protecting employees from secondhand smoke, the bill would eliminate smoking in places we didn't know still allowed it: breakrooms, hotel lobbies, and banquet rooms. It also targets tobacco shops and hookah lounges.
As you might expect, tobacco shops and hookah lounges are upset. "As a business owner, I'm sympathetic," Senator DeSaulnier tells SF Weekly. "We're just trying for a fair playing field."
But how fair? Many Democratic state senators (including San Francisco's Leland Yee) have promised to support the bill if it is amended to make an exception for cigar bars that don't serve food or drink. DeSaulnier says that such an amendment is forthcoming — but that it is unlikely to exempt hookah lounges. "There's an argument that says they're not in compliance with current law," he says.
Smoking is currently permissible at independently owned businesses that (among other lawyerly factors) can demonstrate that their "main purpose" is the sale of tobacco. Some of the hookah cafes that have proliferated in California insist that they sell more hookah than food or drink, which makes them legal.
DeSaulnier disagrees: "If you're going to run a restaurant, that's one thing. But if it's a cafe or lounge with secondhand smoke, employees need to be protected. In this kind of labor market, workers should have the right to know what kind of business people are running."
Unlike cigar retailers, hookah houses don't enjoy the lobbying efforts of trade groups and tobacco companies.
This inspired SF Weekly to troll local hookah joints and ask employees: "Did you know there's smoking going on here?"
They did. The manager of one popular spot says, "Of course everyone here knows. If my employees could sign and say they accept this environment, they would all sign!" He adds that regulators have little understanding of hookah: "Even the health department, when they came in, I had to show them what to look for. I showed them the plastic tips and how the water vapor works. I explained to them that it's dried fruit, not tobacco."
He added, "Make sure you put that in! It's apples! It's fruit!"

Sizes for men's clothes are fairly standardized. Our dress shirts are sized by the neck and sleeve measurement. This sizing system exists so that customers do not have to rely on general men's dress shirt sizes (small, medium, large, etc.) and can instead purchase a dress shirt that separately fits the neck, arm and body. Here's how to determine your dress shirt size and find the perfect fit:
Neck Measurement:
To measure yourself: Measure a shirt with a collar that fits you well. Open the shirt and lay the collar flat. Measure from the center of the collar button to the far end of the button hole. The measurement in inches is your collar size. Alternatively, measure around the base of your neck, inserting a finger between the tape and your neck to allow for comfort. Take the measurement to the nearest half inch increment.
Directions for someone else to measure you: To determine neck size, place the tape measure at the back of the neck and bring it around to a point under the Adam's Apple. This should be a smooth or "skin" measurement with no slack or give allowed. After taking the measurement, add one half inch for ease and comfort allowance.
Sleeve Measurement:
To take the sleeve measurement, hold your arm so that it is bent 90 degrees and your hand rests on your hip. With the help from a friend, begin measuring at the middle point of the back, directly on the spine at the base of the neck. Move across the top of the shoulder to the point where the arm and shoulder meet. Continue pulling the tape measure down the arm and around, over the elbow. Pull the tape measure to just below the wrist bone and read the measurement. Our shirts come in graduates of 2 inches (32/33, 34/35, 36/37, 38/39.)
If you need to convert your dress shirt size from general sizing (small, medium, large, etc.) to neck and sleeve measurements, see below to find your comparable size:
Small: Neck: 15 Sleeve: (32/33)
Medium: Neck: 15.5 - 16 Sleeve: (34/35)
Large: Neck: 16.5 - 17 Sleeve: (34/35) or (36/37) depending on arm length
X-Large: Neck: 17.5 - 18 Sleeve: (36/37) or (38/39) depending on arm length
XX-Large: Neck: 18.5 - 19 Sleeve: (36/37)
XXX-Large: Neck: 20 Sleeve: (38/39)
Fashion Tips
Ever wonder what buttons to button?
- 3 button jacket: As a general rule you can remember "Always, Sometimes, Never".
Top button - always. Middle button - sometimes. Bottom button - never.
- 2 button jacket: As a general rule remember "Sometimes, Never".
Top button - sometimes. Bottom button - never.
Blazers & Sport Coats
What's the difference between a blazer and a sport coat? There are two main differences:
- A blazer is typically solid in color (example: navy or black). A blazer will likely have distinguishable buttons (gold, brass, mother of pearl, etc.).
- A sport coat is typically patterned (example: plaid, herringbone, etc.). A sport coat will have standard buttons, and the color of the button will match one of the colors on the jacket.
How do you know when your trousers don't fit? There are a few signs of trousers not fitting, but these are two pretty obvious ones:
- If you can see your socks when you walk. The length of the trousers should be sufficient so they have a slight kink or break in front and rest at the top of the heel in the back. Your socks should not show when walking and should cover any flesh when seated.
- If your pleats are popping. If you are wearing a single or double pleat pant and the pleats are "popping" that means they are either too tight, or you are wearing them too low. Often times men don't wear their pants at the appropriate height. The general rule is one inch below the belly button.
Shirt Tips
- When your shirt collar is buttoned up, you should be able to put a finger between your neck and the shirt.
- Your shirt should be long enough to tuck into your trousers easily and not come out when you lift your arms.
- The buttons on the shirt should lie flat.
- If your shirt is too loose or baggy, consider buying a tailored cut shirt, having it tailored by a professional, or purchasing one in a different weight of cotton.
Tie Tips
- The tip of the tie should hit the middle of the belt buckle.
- Your tie knot will depend on the collar spread. Full Windsor, Half Windsor, and Four in Hand are options.
- The knot of your tie must fit close to the collar of your shirt so that there is no visible gap.
Socks are a key accessory in your wardrobe and say a lot about your style and dress sense. You should own multiple socks to keep from frequent wear and tear. The color of your socks should match and coordinate with your trousers or pants--not your shoes. Revealing your legs when you sit down is not a good look, and longer socks will ensure this doesn't happen.
Belts & Suspenders
A belt should be worn if your pants have loops. Your belt should be a bit darker than your trousers, with the exception of most casual outfits. Additionally, belts should always match your shoes. Pay attention to buckles--nothing too bulky or inappropriate. Suspenders are often worn with formal wear and should button — not clip on. Suspenders are never worn with a belt.
For formal or business wear, leather shoes are a must. You can't go wrong with dark, lace-up shoes. Formal shoes should have thin soles and always be well kept and shined. When it comes to casual wear, match your shoes to the style of your trousers or pants. What makes a casual shoe a "casual?" If it doesn't lace up, it's considered casual. If a shoe has a rugged lug sole, it's casual. If it has visible contrast stitching, it's casual. If you can't shine it (its upper is nubuck, suede, or a matte finish leather), chances are it's casual.
Shoe color choice:
- Black shoes with charcoal and black trousers
- Dark brown shoes with brown and dark khaki trousers
- Light brown shoes with tan, olive mix, etc. trousers
- Cordovan/merlot shoes with navy, and mid/light grey trousers
An overcoat is great to wear over your suit to the office. For those living and working in colder climates a nice overcoat is a must. Don't go another winter without a full length wool or wool/cashmere coat.
- Eyeglasses: You may consider a new style the next time you change your prescription. Be sure they are current and fit your face well. Consider those frames that are about as wide as your head. Round is better for angular faces, and angular is better for round faces.
- Sunglasses: Sunglasses should augment not neutralize your personal style.
- Briefcases: There are a wide variety of briefcases to choose from. Black leather is classic and versatile. A briefcase will hold the necessary papers, proposals, and laptop. In some instances, a shoulder strap makes a bag more informal but certainly more practical.
- Planners: Do you prefer paper between leather or canvas covers? Maybe you're a digital type. Regardless of your preference, planners can offer options to suit your function and style.
- Pens: A pen is a necessity and accessory. A functional black uni-ball or a fountain pen delivers style on the dotted line.
A rule of thumb is to keep jewelry to a minimum.
- Rings: A wedding ring and possibly a class ring are appropriate to wear.
- Watches: Make sure it's of good quality and appropriate. When selecting a timepiece, think simple and versatile. A dignified band and uncomplicated face will do best--one that's classic and has timeless appeal. Save the athletic watches for the gym, and stay away from colored plastic watches.
It's generally advisable to avoid a trendy hairdo, rather, have a simple cut that can be combed and styled a couple different ways. When men's hair turns grey, it can give them a look of sophistication. Don't fight it. Flecks of grey, known as 'salt and pepper', can be distinguished. However, if you choose to color your hair, it is best left to the professionals versus relying on home kits. If you have thinning hair, keep it short.
Facial Hair
Sideburns: It is advised to trim your sideburns square and don't let them creep below the bottom of your cheek bone.
Beards & Moustaches
Facial hair can be used either for balancing your facial proportions or as part of individualizing your look. If you decide to grow facial hair, make sure it fits your face and is appropriately trimmed. Small mustaches go better with small noses, and large with large. A short but full beard can make a thin face look fuller; a longer beard can lengthen a full face. If you're balding or have a short haircut, trim the beard short. If you have long hair, the beard can be bigger.
It's nice if it makes you smell good up close, but the whole room doesn't need to breathe your cologne. Be sure not to overdo it when you know you'll be in a confined place – boardroom, airplane, etc. Remember, deodorant is required.
Grooming Tips
- Nails should always be clean, kept short, and appear well kept.
- Don't ignore your eyebrows—use tweezers to remove the hair in between them.
- Keep your teeth clean and healthy, since a winning smile is an important part of a person's image.
- Keep your breath fresh in all social situations. Freshen up by keeping some mouthwash or mints in a convenient place.
Core Professional Wardrobe
- Remember: Your business look needs to reflect the core values of the industry in which you work.
The number of items below indicates the minimum requirements to make sure you are professionally dressed at all times.
- Suits: Two to four suits in navy, charcoal, black and possibly one earth tone color.
- Blazer/Sport coat: One black or navy blazer and one patterned sport coat.
- Trousers: Six to ten trousers ranging in various colors/patterns.
- Dress Shirts: Six to ten dress shirts in a variety of complimentary colors or patterns.
- Knits: One to two sweaters/sweater vests.
- Silk Ties: Five silk ties to coordinate with your work shirts.
- Overcoat: At least one coat or raincoat to wear over your suit in charcoal, black, navy or beige.
- Shoes: Two to three pairs of formal shoes in neutral colors—black, brown or cordovan.
- Leather Belts: Two to three leather belts to match your shoes.
- Socks: Six to ten over the calf socks to match your trousers.

A Continentalist in Paris: Ludimax indoor playground
Especially in the winter, indoor playgrounds are great for keeping little monkeys active and entertained. Though Ludimax is a bit out of the way out in Villepreux, it's worth the trek. Sister 4 chose Ludimax as the venue for her birthday party in early February. She hosted just under 30 guests, aged three to nine, and it was received well - the kids pretty much threw themselves into the fray upon arrival and only emerged for lunch. The jungle gym itself is huge - stretching over three levels - with lots to offer, and is also pretty safe (you'd need a lot of imagination to hurt yourself among the padding).

Energy saving solutions
Did you know that as much as 20% of the total heat lost from your home is through your windows?
With the longest day a distant memory, we've put together a selection of ways to help you maximise the last of the summer sun, while cosying up for cooler days and evenings.
Now more than ever, it's important to pick the right window dressing to suit your needs. Here are our top tips on how to make your home feel light and airy this season.
Roller blinds
Roller blinds roll up neatly at the top of the window, making them a great way to help maximise the amount of natural light in your room. Choosing a light and airy shade will boost this effect further, like our Lisbon Aqua Roller blind here.
Delicate Voiles add an extra layer of protection at your window for cooler days, while also letting lots of light in. Combine with fully-lined curtains for a sumptuous look, and Wooden or Venetian blinds to help combat any privacy issues.
Pleated blinds
Our clever Thermashade™ blinds provide insulation at the window, perfect for keeping your conservatory at a comfortable temperature on cooler days. They'll also help to stop the sun making your room uncomfortably hot, so they're perfect for a transitional, unpredictable month such as September.
Awnings offer shade from the sun and shelter from the cool, crisp autumn breeze. When fully accessorised with sun and wind sensors, as well as heaters, awnings become incredibly practical. We also offer a lighting option, allowing you to be in the garden with family and friends right into the evening, all year through.
Venetian blinds
Venetian blinds allow you the best of both worlds, providing privacy as well as the ability to softly filter the light into your home. Glossy or metallic finishes will bounce the light around your room, so you can really make the most of the last of the summer sun.

Target pests
Products with borax or boric acid as the active ingredient may be used to control ants and earwigs.
NB: The product label lists the plants on which the pesticide may be used, along with the target organisms.
How it works
Borax and boric acid act as stomach poisons when eaten by insects. Death occurs a few days later.
NB: Bait formulations rely on trophallaxis, the exchange of food among ants. After finding and eating the poisoned bait, ants take it back to the colony to share. The entire colony is affected after several days. Hence the importance of not crushing any ants that have visited the bait.
- Powder formulations
- Spread a thin layer of the powder along insects' routes (at the base of foundations and walls, along doorsills, etc.). Avoid damp or wet locations, because the powder is effective only when dry.
- Bait formulations
- Liquid: In the garden, apply along insect routes or near ant nests (some manufacturers recommend placing the insecticide on a piece of wax paper).
- Traps: Place traps along insect routes or near ant nests. In most cases, you will need to punch holes in the trap. Never remove the lid.
The product may irritate the skin and eyes, so it is best to wear gloves, long sleeves and pants and goggles when applying it. It is best to wear a mask when applying a powder formulation, to avoid inhaling the pesticide.
Some products may contain peanut butter, and may be hazardous for people with allergies.
It is best not to apply it on windy or rainy days, to keep it from drifting or rinsing off.
Avoid applying powder or liquid formulations near plant roots. Borax and boric acid can cause plants to dry out and/or interfere with photosynthesis.
Do not use near any body of water or wetland, or dump any pesticide or rinse your equipment there, as this will contaminate the water. Never dump pesticides down sewers.
Keep out of reach of children.

The thyme in this recipe was overpowering even though I measured it very carefully. My family, who usually loves the black eyed peas I make for New Years were very disappointed. I think we'll go back to the way my mother made them years ago.

Business Broadband Growth Strong & Diverse
Competitive business broadband facilities have emerged just as Congress envisioned in the Telecommunications Act of 1996, USTelecom said in a filing responding to a Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proceeding examining 2013 data on the business broadband marketplace. Over the years, the FCC has carefully eased regulation of business broadband services, reflecting the fact that the marketplace has responded as expected – multiple, intermodal providers are investing in facilities and competing for business customers throughout the country.
This competition has changed the landscape of the business broadband marketplace. The original providers that were subject to 1996-era regulation now are seeing their market share decline as business customers seek out higher-capacity technologies such as Ethernet and IP-based services that are more efficient than legacy DS1 and DS3 special access services.Business customers have benefited from this policy change, which gives them a wide array of options for services. A large number of providers compete to offer Ethernet services, including cable operators and numerous competitive local exchange carriers (CLECs), in addition to incumbent local exchange providers (ILECs). Ethernet services offer savings as high as 80 percent or more as compared to the traditional special access services.
Marketplace competition also is visible in the CLEC industry, which for many years was highly fractured, containing hundreds of regional and local carriers spread throughout the country. Today, through natural consolidation and organic growth, "Mega CLECs" have reshaped the marketplace, boasting footprints that stretch from coast to coast.
Tales of Woe
Some CLECs have adopted business models that rely in part on their ability to obtain high-capacity network facilities from ILECs, unlike cable companies which generally utilize their own networks and facilities. These CLECs often deploy a fiber ring in a metropolitan area, and use a combination of leased circuits and their own facilities to connect buildings and other end-user locations to the ring.
Not surprisingly, the CLEC industry spends considerable time and resources asking regulators to lower the prices they pay ILECs for access. CLECs frequently spin tales of gloom and doom, claiming that unless the regulator modifies the terms of access to ILEC facilities, competitive carriers would likely be unable to serve most of the business customer locations they serve.
Outside of Washington, however, CLECs tell a very different story — one of economic prosperity and growth:
- Level 3 reported 10 percent growth in 2014 for its Core Network Services to enterprises, according to a Feb. 27, 2015 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
- XO has deployed "[o]ne of the largest Ethernet access networks reaching more than 2 million business locations" with customers that include "more than 50 percent of the Fortune 500 as well as the largest cable operators, mobile wireless companies and Internet-based content providers," according to the company's website.
- Zayo Group recently reported "$5.8 billion in revenue under contract with a weighted average remaining contract term of approximately 45 months," according to a May 13, 2015 SEC filing.
Game-changing cable competition
The disruptive entry of cable operators is not fully captured in the 2013 data collection. In just the last two years – 2014 and 2015 – cable business service units have invested an estimated $6 billion in capital, while competitive fiber providers have invested an estimated $9 billion. Cable companies are enjoying the fruits of their substantial infrastructure investment. Since 2009, cable business revenues have grown from approximately $4 billion to an estimated $14 billion in 2015.
Two years is a particularly long time when examining the strides the cable industry has made in the business broadband marketplace. From "best efforts" broadband services at blazing fast speeds, to the most sophisticated Ethernet services available, and everything in between, the cable industry is effectively targeting all segments of the business broadband marketplace.
Cable annual business services revenue has grown from $10 billion per year in 2013 to $14 billion per year in 2015, an increase of $4 billion in just the last two years. As business revenues and market share grow from the cable industry's provision of service to small business customers, cable also has increasingly expanded its presence by moving up-market to serve medium-sized business customers, "large locals" such as schools and hospitals, and now the largest enterprises in the nation. Cable's up-market migration, including its latest efforts in the largest enterprise markets, is not adequately reflected in the 2013 data collection.
Cable companies have succeeded not only in providing high-capacity services directly to business customers on a retail basis, but also in providing these services on a wholesale basis to other carriers. One of the biggest growth areas in the high-speed marketplace is the provision of so-called "backhaul" facilities that connect cell towers to wireless providers' networks. The bandwidth required at each cell site is rapidly expanding as customers switch to new 4G services, and the number of cell sites proliferates as wireless providers struggle to keep pace with this demand.
Protect competition, not competitors
The FCC's charge is to protect the public interest and competition, not individual competitors or particular business models. Many competitors in the marketplace have demonstrated the ability to succeed under the current framework developed in 1999. The commission should make every effort to recognize the enormous investment that has occurred since 1999 and to encourage the further investments needed by today's businesses.

A bus driver who has been viciously attacked twice in 24 hours says he has been forced to arm himself for his own protection.
Robert Burke, 38, was charged at by a teenager wielding a sharpened snooker cue and attacked by a gang of youths who hurled a stone at his head as he drove his bus.
He says the situation is getting so bad he now carries an Asp - a retractable truncheon - because he fears for his life.
Mr Burke, from Mountain Ash, said: "It's getting worse. You don't know if someone is going to pull a knife on you these days. It's dangerous being on your own.
"On Wednesday, I was driving up the hill in Rhydyfelin and a teenager flagged the bus down. As I pulled in and opened the door, another one ran up from where a group was standing and stood level with the door and threw a large stone at my head.
"I didn't know if the others were going to start throwing stones so I put my foot down because I had two elderly passengers on board."
Just 24 hours before, Mr Burke - who works for Shamrock Travel, based in Pontypridd - had been forced to protect himself and a passenger from a teenager armed with a snooker cue.
Mr Burke said: "As I was pulling in to let a passenger off in Penygraig at around 8.30pm, I saw a lad outside trying to smash one of the back windows. When I stopped the bus he came running down the side and pulled out what I thought was a sword.
"I pulled the passenger back in and shut the doors but he kept stabbing this snooker cue, which had been snapped in half, through the door."
Clayton Jones, owner of Shamrock Travel, said his drivers are increasingly being faced with threatening incidents such as these.
He said: "It is definitely getting worse. In Merthyr we have stopped services at night and we are considering revising other night-time services. I am meeting with the police next week to discuss the situation."
Inspector Paul Cannon said: "I can understand the driver's concern but an Asp is an offensive weapon and he shouldn't have it. He will be liable if he injuries someone with it but I can sympathise."

A review of the status of western herbal medicine in Australia
Document Type
Publication details
Wohlmuth, H, Oliver, C & Nathan, PJ 2002, 'A review of the status of western herbal medicine in Australia', Journal of Herbal Pharmacotherapy, vol. 2, no. 2, pp. 33-46.
Published version available from:
Peer Reviewed
Western herbal medicine is the most widely used form of herbal medicine in Australia although Ayurvedic and Chinese herbal medicines are becoming better known. The agricultural production and manufacture of locally grown herbs is, with some exceptions, relatively underdeveloped, as is the research and development of indigenous flora. However, the use of herbal medicine is increasingly becoming mainstream with retail sales of herbal products in Australia estimated to be A$200 million. Concurrent with the increase in popularity of herbal medicine with health consumers have come advances in herbal medicine education and regulation. Although small by European standards, research into herbal medicines is increasing, mainly through industry and University-based initiatives.

I'm 90 minutes SE of Buffalo and we got almost nothing in comparison. Smug is 2 hours SE of me.
But right now it's snowing and about 2 degrees F.

Lambertville artist Leyla Spencer is showing her mosaic work at the JB Kline Gallery 25 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ, from November 2 through November 30. Spencer's work consists of expressive colors depicting both abstract and natural forms. Spencer enjoys using stained glass, precious and semi-precious stones and found objects in her work. While mosaic is a work intensive medium, Spencer tries to keep her work accessible. Her prices range from $95.00 to $1,000.00. Spencer has been showing in the JB Kline studio every holiday season for the past 14 years, and every show has been more successful the the last.
"My work is like painting with glass," says Spencer. "The intense colors and textures really lend themselves to wonderful forms. Many clients say my work changes with the light. The glass is so interesting to work with."
Her work consists of wall pieces as well as smaller, more practical pieces, such as frames, trivets, and coasters. All of the wall pieces are suitable for hanging outdoors, except for musical instruments.

The city of Porto has an inevitable relation with water. To the north, the sea is part of the landscape. To the south, the Douro River serves as its boundary and endows it with bridges. Additionally, the entire city is crossed by watercourses of varying sizes, either on the surface or underground. The rediscovery of this landscape and environmental asset, closely linked to the population, has over time been transformed into an axis of sustainability for the city, its territory and its social and economic dynamics

A Cambridgeshire initiative at the forefront of changing the lives of people experiencing a combination of homelessness, substance misuse, criminality and mental health issues is to take part in a prestigious five year national project.
Cambridgeshire County Council's Counting Every Adult Service (CEA) has helped around 100 people since it began in 2011 and has now been asked to join the national Making Every Adult Matter (MEAM) Programme along with 25 other areas to establish the most effective ways to help of our most vulnerable and challenging adults.
CEA's unique approach is to shape services around the individual, working with that person to give them the confidence to make changes in their lives. They provide one to one support on a wide range of issues unique to each person, such as health, family and relationship problems, drugs and alcohol, finances and accommodation.
CEA has been recognized as a leader in its field and is the longest running service in the country. Its outcomes and successes have been highlighted in several professional publications.
Danny who found himself homeless, addicted to alcohol and seriously ill, was supported by CEA to get back on his feet. He said: "After having some initial success in my early career, I lost my job and found myself homeless. This exposed me to a culture of alcohol and substance abuse and my health began to deteriorate to the point where I lost the ability to walk and I found myself very unwell. Doctors and ambulances were called out to me but I refused to go into hospital. However, with the support I received from CEA I have managed to get my life back on track.
"They linked me to services but rather than tell me what to do they have supported me in my decisions and helped me make the right ones. This has really lifted my confidence and made me believe I can make the right decisions in my life. I've now been sober for over 12 months. I'm now a Inclusion Champion helping others who were in my position and I also volunteer at my local hospital."
The MEAM approach is a national scheme working with a range of organisations to find the best ways to transform the lives of adults with complex needs and deliver improved outcomes. MEAM is a coalition of national charities including Clinks, Homeless Link and Mind, formed to improve policy and services for people facing multiple needs.
Marie Ludlam, Counting Every Adult Service Coordinator for Cambridgeshire County Council, said; "We are a specialist service dealing with a small number of the most complex cases every year. We support those involved by working with them one-to-one to build a trusted relationship so we can help those individuals deal with the issues facing them. We ask them about their objectives and their desired outcomes from support and at no stage does the team seek to influence these or work outside of them. We do not impose rigid 'care plans', which allows the client to progress along a journey of support which is both bespoke and flexible.
"This has improved the quality of life, health and wellbeing for many of these individuals as well as saving money on lessening the need for healthcare and contact with the criminal justice system. The MEAM programme will see the County Council working closely with other areas of the country, sharing our good practice as well as learning from each other."

Consumers using net neutrality as club to beat up ISPs at FCC
In the first month that net-neutrality regulations have been in force, consumers have filed about 2,000 complaints at the Federal Communications Commission against Internet service providers such as Comcast and AT&T, according an article published Thursday by National Journal.
The bulk of the complaints covered in the article demonstrate that the average consumer has little or no understanding of what net neutrality is supposed to deliver. The most common complaint appears to be data caps, which are not banned by the new rules.
"Our data should not be capped at 350 mbps!!!! Please, please make data caps illegal!!"
"By Comcast having this data cap, I don't have a open Internet …"
"I have to tell my kids to stop using YouTube and other services and stuff they need for school so we don't go over the cap…"
According to National Journal, the FCC estimated the total number of informal complaints filed in the first month of the new regulations and provided copies of 50 of those complaints to National Journal as an initial response to a request submitted under the Freedom of Information Act. Public comments on proceedings and formal complaints are available on the FCC's website, but the agency does not routinely make informal consumer complaints available.

Mother Gets Scammed on a $10 Tip at a Family Restaurant and Is Warning People About This Common Fraud
Posted on Sep 20, 2016
A mom from Virginia wanted to take her family out to the dinner, but she didn't know that it would turn into trouble. Let's see why.
1. Family Dinner
Whitney Anderson and her family decided to go out for dinner. It was supposed to be a pleasant evening in a family restaurant, but something went wrong.
